00:02:57.000 A lot of different stories I want to cover with you today and several different areas that I want to cover with you.
00:03:04.000 I want to start with this one.
00:03:06.000 I want to ask the question of how aware are the Democrats?
00:03:13.000 How aware is the current regime?
00:03:17.000 Now, I had a conversation with some recently where they said, Charlie, Biden doesn't know what he's doing.
00:03:26.000 Now, this is the great debate, isn't it?
00:03:28.000 Does Biden know?
00:03:30.000 And when I mean Biden, I don't mean him personally, okay?
00:03:33.000 I mean the machine.
00:03:35.000 Obviously, he personally doesn't know if he's president or the janitor or whatever.
00:03:40.000 We go on endlessly about that.
00:03:42.000 In fact, I think there's an overemphasis on Biden's mental decline.
00:03:46.000 We know he's not suited.
00:03:48.000 People still voted for him.
00:03:51.000 And do I think that it was a legitimate election and not interfered with?
00:03:54.000 Of course not.
00:03:55.000 We've been through that in great detail.
00:03:56.000 The point is that some people still voted for a man that mentally should not be president.
00:04:02.000 Not the point.
00:04:02.000 The question is, the regime and the machine, the regime slash the machine, how do they think things are going?
00:04:12.000 How do they think the state of the country is?
00:04:16.000 Now, recent approval rating show Joe Biden anywhere between 38 to 43%, and Battleground States even lower.
00:04:23.000 I know what your immediate reaction is.
00:04:26.000 Who on earth are those 38% that still support Joe Biden outside of lobbyists, insider dealers, and trial lawyers?
00:04:35.000 Biden is being accused, the Biden machine, of not knowing what they are doing.
00:04:42.000 Now, I think on certain issues, that could be the case.
00:04:45.000 I think that there could be an argument to be made that the Biden regime does not know how to properly manage government.
00:04:54.000 I'll give you an example.
00:04:56.000 When the head of the Department of Energy comes up and she's asked, how many barrels of oil does the United States consume a day?
00:05:02.000 And she doesn't know the answer, that's an example of the regime not knowing what they're doing.
00:05:09.000 It's a good example of that.
00:05:12.000 When the Biden administration, through Gensaki, is asked some very basic questions about contradicting previous promises.
00:05:21.000 Those are also some good examples.
00:05:23.000 But the great debate on the right currently, and the establishment has a certain view, and grassroots people, which listen to this show, have a different view, of is Biden doing this intentionally?
00:05:37.000 That's the most important question.
00:05:39.000 Now, some people say, Charlie, that is irrelevant.
00:05:42.000 It doesn't matter if it's intentional.
00:05:45.000 It doesn't matter if it's by accident.
00:05:47.000 The result is the same.
00:05:50.000 Let me tell you why that's wrong.
00:05:52.000 It's wrong because if Biden was doing this accidentally, then the solution would be very simple.
00:05:59.000 If Biden was deconstructing the country by accident, as if he just kind of stumbled into it, then it would be a very easy adjustment.
00:06:12.000 In a simple meeting, you could meet with Biden and say, hey, do this instead of that.
00:06:15.000 He's like, oh, yes, of course.
00:06:17.000 I just didn't know what I was doing.
00:06:18.000 Or he could get a panel of experts to work with.
00:06:20.000 No, no, no.
00:06:21.000 We know that's not the case.
00:06:23.000 Now coming on to almost a year into this regime, with one of the worst records on just this, talk about just the southern border, just the southern border, wide open.
00:06:36.000 1.7 million people have crossed from the southern border into the interior United States.
00:06:42.000 Millions of pounds of fentanyl.
00:06:45.000 Thousands of guns.
00:06:46.000 Criminals walking straight into our country.
00:06:49.000 And we're supposed to believe that, well, it's just an accident.
00:06:51.000 I'll get to it later.
00:06:52.000 In fact, Biden says the border is a raving success.
00:06:55.000 He says that.
00:06:58.000 And so some leaked audio has come out of Biden talking about next year's midterms.
00:07:09.000 Now, he has to say this.
00:07:11.000 Every president says this.
00:07:12.000 Every president says they're going to win every election.
00:07:15.000 But it does beg the question, which is, do Democrats think things are going well?
00:07:22.000 And the answer is, of course they do.
00:07:25.000 Pelosi and Biden think everything is going according to plan.
00:07:32.000 Now, mind you, Afghanistan was not part of the plan.
00:07:34.000 That was a humiliating disaster for them.
00:07:37.000 Omicron was not part of the plan.
00:07:41.000 But the plan of weakening the U.S. dollar, of globalizing America, of keeping the borders wide open, of destroying small businesses, of bailing out blue states, which they did in March and no one covered it.
00:07:58.000 They're thrilled with what they've accomplished.
00:08:02.000 What they've accomplished is setting back the United States decades, financially, fiscally, morally, culturally.
00:08:11.000 They're implementing wokeism, critical race theory into every aspect of the military and the government.
00:08:16.000 For Pelosi, who wants a fundamental reshaping, destruction of the country, but she'll say it's reshaping of America.
00:08:23.000 This has been the most effective presidency ever for that agenda.
00:08:29.000 If you want to, if you want to run the country off the cliff, these people are experts.
00:08:39.000 Obama pales in comparison with what this machine has done.
00:08:44.000 Play cut 44, Biden talking about the midterms.
00:08:48.000 Now we look at 2022.
00:08:51.000 I want to tell my Republican friends, get ready, pal.
00:08:54.000 You're going in for a problem.
00:08:56.000 And we need to stay unified.
00:08:59.000 Get ready, pal.
00:09:00.000 You're in for a problem.
00:09:01.000 Now, if a Republican would say that, they would be investigated by the January 6th Committee for attempted domestic terrorism.
00:09:10.000 Get ready, pal.
00:09:11.000 You're in for a problem.
00:09:12.000 Is that a threat?
00:09:13.000 And of course, when Biden says it, it's just metaphorical.
00:09:17.000 Now, Biden has to say this.
00:09:20.000 It's irrelevant of whether or not he believes that or not.
00:09:22.000 What's more relevant is how do we as conservatives handle the unraveling of America?
00:09:31.000 So if you ask the Mitt Romney types, if you ask the moderate Republican types, which many of you are represented by moderate Republicans, many of you listening to this program right now have moderate, establishment, weak need, spineless, vanilla, corporatist, technocratic, I could go on, Republicans that represent you in the U.S. Senate of the House.
00:09:57.000 Their view is it's not that bad.
00:10:00.000 We just have to win back the Senate, win back the House, adjust corporate taxes, and everything will be terrific again.
00:10:09.000 The Democrats have realized that the swing saw of elections is something that is kind of an annoyance.
00:10:21.000 I want you to try to put on your Democrat Oculus goggles for a second, which I'm not a fan of Oculus, by the way.
00:10:28.000 Say that on the record.
00:10:29.000 Do they even call it anymore Oculus?
00:10:31.000 I think they've renamed it, right?
00:10:32.000 Some sort of weird Omega or something.
00:10:35.000 Way too many commercials about that.
00:10:38.000 I want you to put on those, the kind of how they view the world.
00:10:43.000 They view the world through a march through history.
00:10:48.000 They look at history as an unraveling plan towards utopia.
00:10:55.000 They look at every measure, spending measure, government program, every intervention of the state can eventually contribute to the perfection of the human being.
00:11:09.000 Is Biden and the regime doing this intentionally or unintentionally?
00:11:14.000 If you listen to the show at all, you know the answer that we believe.
00:11:17.000 But why is this even a question?
00:11:19.000 And therefore, if we come to the conclusion he's doing it intentionally, I'm going to tell you why that's a completely different footing of how we need to handle Biden than what Republicans.
00:11:33.000 It's the most important question of our current posture on how to handle this regime.
00:11:41.000 Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:11:48.000 Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
00:11:54.000 Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:12:00.000 Left-wing corporations are subverting our democracy by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:12:11.000 You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.
00:12:14.000 And that is where massively important organizations called Second Vote come in.

00:13:12.000 You know, I was thinking the other day: if this was all a movie, who do you think the bad guys would be?
00:13:19.000 You really think the bad guys would be the people that are rejecting the vaccine, who are like firefighters, police officers, and carpenters and plumbers?
00:13:28.000 Or maybe it would be the CEOs of the pharmaceutical companies, the head of the government, and the people in charge of the international organizations.
00:13:36.000 I mean, it's a bond movie waiting to happen, basically.
00:13:39.000 In fact, literally, it's a bond movie waiting to happen.
00:13:43.000 Not trying to do a spoiler for anyone, but if you watched the recent Bond movie, it's eerily similar to kind of what we're living through.
00:13:52.000 Who are the bad guys?
00:13:53.000 It would be pretty simple.
00:13:54.000 Okay, so is Biden doing this intentionally?
00:13:58.000 Of course he's doing it intentionally.
00:13:59.000 It's not even a question.
00:14:00.000 I asked the question so you guys have an opportunity to think on it and chew on it and come to your own conclusions.
00:14:05.000 And maybe you'll be able to convince me otherwise.
00:14:07.000 Now, why is that important?
00:14:10.000 It's important, and the law, by the way, reflects this.
00:14:14.000 It's important for the reason that our law treats someone who accidentally runs somebody over at their car differently than someone who gets out of their car with an axe and cuts their head off.
00:14:28.000 It's two totally different things.
00:14:30.000 Negligence under the criminal code can be pled down to home arrest, fines, and maybe a felony on your record.
00:14:41.000 First-degree murder almost always comes with significant jail time, sometimes the rest of your life.
00:14:46.000 So the question is: is Biden running America over with his car, or is he intentionally trying to destroy it and then back over it and back over it again and back over it again?
00:14:59.000 And then that is instructive to those of us that actually love the country of how we handle him.
00:15:04.000 And this is something if I had to give, if I had to get down to the core of why I think Republicans are so useless, it's this question.
00:15:18.000 Now, I want to say this.
00:15:20.000 Conservative donors, activists, and more politicians are starting to get this question right.
00:15:27.000 You could see it in the tone, the tenor, the presentation, but still, far too many powerful people in the Republican Party, they sit deep down in there.
00:15:36.000 And I actually think they believe it, but they don't say it because they still want to be accepted in decent and polite society and they want their daughter to go to Stanford and their wife to sit on the board of the Kennedy Center or whatever thing a ruling class Republican does.
00:15:49.000 But I think deep down, Republicans know that Democrats want to destroy the country.
00:15:54.000 I just don't think they care.
00:15:56.000 Yeah, I'll move to Singapore or whatever.
00:15:59.000 But instead, they get into this argument with us, base conservatives, grassroots conservatives, saying, hey, we want the same thing.
00:16:12.000 We just have different ways of getting there.
00:16:16.000 Really, we want the same thing.
00:16:19.000 We want abortion to be eliminated.
00:16:20.000 You want it on demand and plentiful.
00:16:23.000 I think Drag Queen Story Hour is evil.
00:16:25.000 You want it at every corner.
00:16:26.000 I want a balanced budget.
00:16:27.000 You want to spend $5 trillion.
00:16:29.000 I love the Constitution.
00:16:30.000 You hate the Constitution.
00:16:31.000 I think every school should have a statue of Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.
00:16:34.000 You want to rename them all.
00:16:36.000 What exactly do we agree on?
00:16:37.000 Do we agree that English should be the official language of the United States?
00:16:40.000 Nope.
00:16:41.000 Do we agree on our founding documents?
00:16:42.000 Nope.
00:16:42.000 Do we agree on where our rights come from?
00:16:44.000 Definitely not.
00:16:45.000 Do we agree that private property is a necessary prerequisite?
00:16:48.000 The right to private property is a necessary prerequisite for human flourishing and freedom.
00:16:53.000 Do we believe that the fruits of the Enlightenment, while properly managed under a guideline of ancestral tradition, is something that can actually help humans flourish?
00:17:03.000 Nope.
00:17:05.000 Do they believe in the family?
00:17:06.000 Absolutely not.
00:17:07.000 I could go on and on and on.
00:17:08.000 We believe in firearm ownership.
00:17:10.000 They believe in firearm confiscation.
00:17:13.000 We believe the Fourth Amendment should stop the government from spying on you.
00:17:16.000 They want everyone to be spied on at all times.
00:17:18.000 They believe in vaccinating four-year-olds.
00:17:20.000 I don't believe in vaccinating anyone by force.
00:17:23.000 So where exactly is the common ground, moderate Republicans?
00:17:26.000 And why haven't you taken a more, I have to say this metaphorically or else Media Matters is going to lose their mind.
00:17:34.000 You have to take a posture metaphorically as if you are on war footing.
00:17:41.000 This is not a time for debate and dialogue and negotiation or deliberation.
00:17:46.000 You do that when the other party, the other interested party, has good intentions.
00:17:52.000 Let me ask you a question for business owners out there.
00:17:54.000 Would you sell a business or do a deal with someone that wants to kill your family?
00:17:58.000 Of course not.
00:17:59.000 Say, get out of my office.
00:18:00.000 I'm not going to sell my business to you.
00:18:02.000 Well, currently, Republicans are negotiating with people that want to deconstruct the entire project.
00:18:09.000 And most Republicans think Joe Biden accidentally is running over America with his car.
00:18:13.000 Oh, he can't see.
00:18:14.000 He's an older driver.
00:18:16.000 Just take his driver license away.
00:18:18.000 Like, no, no, no, no.
00:18:19.000 Clear-eyed, he's the passenger.
00:18:22.000 Ron Clain's the driver, and he just smacks America every single day and then backs over it for fun and for sport.
00:18:29.000 Wake up.
00:18:32.000 As we celebrate the Christmas season, we often pause to consider our many blessings.
00:18:36.000 Hillsdale College wishes to thank you for standing with them as they celebrate over 177 years of blessings.
00:18:42.000 Since 1844, the Beacon of the North, the last college, Hillsdale College, has held fast to its mission to provide the kind of education essential to preserving free government.
00:18:51.000 And for decades, the college has extended its educational mission on behalf of liberty through a variety of outreach programs.
00:18:56.000 Perhaps you receive in Primus for every month, or you've taken one of Hillsdale's excellent online courses or attended one of Hillsdale's free regional events.
00:19:04.000 You know of Hillsdale's refusal to take even one penny of government money.
00:19:07.000 This independence allows the college to focus on promoting its core purpose, learning, character, faith, and freedom without government interference.
00:19:14.000 And no time in our nation's history has there been a greater need for this kind of classical liberal arts education that Hillsdale offers on its campuses and nationwide.
00:19:21.000 So during this season of blessings, Hillsdale thanks you for partnership in extending its mission to the country.
00:19:26.000 To learn more about Hillsdale College and take their online courses, the Aristotle course, the Winston Churchill course, the Dying Citizen course, which I'm about to wrap up with Victor Davis Hanson.
00:19:35.000 It's incredible.
00:19:36.000 Check it out.
00:19:37.000 New Victor Davis-Hanson course.
00:19:39.000 Go to charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:19:40.000 For parents out there, require your children to take at least one Hillsdale course before they get any Christmas gifts.
00:19:46.000 You see, I'm a very big fan of parents withholding good things unless kids do the necessary things.
00:19:54.000 Kids shouldn't just get Christmas gifts because they exist.
00:19:57.000 They should get Christmas gifts because they've earned them.
00:20:00.000 And by earning them, they need to take Hillsdale online courses to learn about Western civilization, learn about God, learn about Genesis, the book of Genesis, the Constitution, and more.
00:20:09.000 Charlie4Hillsdale.com, Charlie F-O-Rhillsdale.com.
00:20:17.000 We're covering so many different stories here.
00:20:19.000 Vaccine mandates from people that are twice vaccinated, three times vaccinated, getting infected, colleges getting shut down that are fully vaccinated.
00:20:29.000 Is Biden doing this intentionally or not?
00:20:30.000 And one thing that we just want to make sure we focus on, because it's really important, is what's going on in Washington, D.C. as far as trying to pass this ridiculous Build Back Better bill.
00:20:42.000 And this is really important for all of our listeners right now.
00:20:44.000 And AM960, the Patriot in Arizona and some of the other key states with us is a friend of mine.
00:20:49.000 She does a wonderful job.
00:20:51.000 She runs the America First Policy Institute, Brooke Rawlins, who's going to help us navigate this bill and kind of what we can do about it.
00:21:00.000 Brooke, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:21:01.000 Charlie Kirk, how fun to be.
00:21:03.000 I think this is my first time on your show.
00:21:06.000 This is amazing.
00:21:06.000 I think so.
00:21:07.000 That's right.
00:21:08.000 So welcome.
00:21:09.000 Thank you.
00:21:09.000 Great to be with you.
00:21:11.000 And for those of you that don't know, Brooke and I work together a lot in the White House.
00:21:15.000 She was in the White House.
00:21:16.000 I was on the outside, but we worked on some big things together and we had a lot of fun.
00:21:19.000 It was awesome.
00:21:21.000 Yeah.
00:21:21.000 And let me just say really quick, Charlie, you were right there with us on all the big fights.
00:21:26.000 And you and all of your turning point patriots and warriors, everyone that is in the Charlie Kirk orbit, I mean, we knew who to call whenever we were working on anything.
00:21:34.000 Tax cuts, healthcare reform, all of the above.
00:21:37.000 You were extraordinary.
00:21:38.000 So thank you for all that work.
00:21:39.000 Thank you.
00:21:40.000 And I don't get invited back to the White House anymore.
00:21:43.000 I don't know why.
00:21:44.000 Me either.
00:21:44.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:21:48.000 We got our time in.
00:21:49.000 Okay, so talk about this bill, Brooke.
00:21:51.000 What's going on?
00:21:52.000 Because I'm even a little confused at times.
00:21:55.000 What's going on with the debt limits versus this Build Back Better bill?
00:21:59.000 Are they separate?
00:22:00.000 Are they related?
00:22:01.000 Kind of walk us through that.
00:22:02.000 Well, the Build Back Better bill, which we have renamed, that's the Biden spending bill, which we have renamed the Big Government Socialism Bill, because it literally is a wish list that for so many years, Charlie, so many of our elected officials would kind of whisper about the Green New Deal and taxpayer funding abortions and payoffs to China and just kind of had them, you know, all out there.
00:22:27.000 Well, this bill literally puts it all in one place.
00:22:30.000 It's truly breathtaking the fast-paced march towards socialism that this bill takes.
00:22:38.000 It literally is everything Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been talking about and fighting for in her tenure in public office.
00:22:45.000 It's all there.
00:22:46.000 It is no doubt that the far left has completely taken over the Democrat Party.
00:22:50.000 And you can see it firsthand in Biden's big government socialism spending bill.
00:22:55.000 About $5 trillion based on numbers that just came out from the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, which, by the way, is not a friend of conservatives.
00:23:03.000 They normally budget and give numbers that are much more friendly to the left.
00:23:08.000 But that $5 trillion number just came out on Friday, just a couple of days ago.
00:23:12.000 And of course, the Pelosis and Schumers were like, oh, that's not right.
00:23:17.000 But in fact, it's right.
00:23:18.000 It's probably a lot bigger than that.
00:23:19.000 It really will destroy the country.
00:23:22.000 And so America First Policy Institute with so many friends, including Turning Point, have locked arms over the last few months.
00:23:28.000 We've got about 65 conservative organizations that are fighting this bill with every breath in our body because it really is that bad.
00:23:37.000 For those of us that have been around a little longer than Charlie Kirk on this earth, like me, I've been in public policy for 20, 25 years, worked in Texas most of that time, the White House the last four years before this administration.
00:23:49.000 There's never been anything like this that is such a huge threat to freedom and to those who love America and our Constitution.
00:23:56.000 So it's really important that we talk about it.
00:23:58.000 And I thank you for that, Charlie.
00:24:00.000 When we started this three months ago, everyone said it was a done deal.
00:24:03.000 The Democrats control everything.
00:24:05.000 They've got the House.
00:24:06.000 They've got the Senate.
00:24:07.000 They've got the White House.
00:24:08.000 They certainly don't have a mandate, but they think that they do.
00:24:11.000 And so when we began this, really our goal was to kill the bill.
00:24:15.000 But ultimately, we didn't think that was going to be possible.
00:24:17.000 We were more focused on getting out the worst provisions, which a lot of the bad provisions have come out.
00:24:22.000 It's still horrendous.
00:24:24.000 But now I think we've got a real shot to really shoot this thing in the heart and put it in its coffin for good.
00:24:31.000 Clearly, we need more of the senators like from West Virginia, from Arizona, New Hampshire, Montana that are on the Democrat side.
00:24:40.000 But they too are realizing that this bill is so destructive to America.
00:24:44.000 So we're really working to ensure that they are educated on what it is that they are being asked to support by their White House and the far left wing of their party.
00:24:52.000 So let's go through some of the specifics of the bill, which I think will just blow people's minds.
00:24:59.000 And obviously we need to focus.
00:25:00.000 I think Raphael Warnock in Georgia could be a potential vote that is vulnerable.
00:25:06.000 Kirsten Sinema, obviously in Arizona, John Tester in Montana.
00:25:11.000 Joe Manchin in West Virginia.
00:25:13.000 And North Carolina, he's basically a Democrat.
00:25:17.000 What's the guy that did insider trading, Connor, allegedly?
00:25:21.000 Richard Burr.
00:25:22.000 Yeah, who knows?
00:25:23.000 Yeah, he's on his way out.
00:25:24.000 So you got to pressure him because you never know.
00:25:26.000 What is in this bill, Brooke?
00:25:28.000 Let's talk about that because you sent this beautiful memo, $100 billion to illegals.
00:25:34.000 Let's talk a little bit about that.
00:25:36.000 Well, there is from top to bottom.
00:25:39.000 Let's just pick the issue.
00:25:40.000 So let's talk about illegal immigrants right now.
00:25:42.000 There are billions and billions and billions of dollars in this bill to incentivize, to pay, to support illegal immigrants, illegal aliens in America.
00:25:52.000 And I'm sure some of you, if not all of your listeners, have heard one of those is a massive payout to those children.
00:25:58.000 They say were separated from their parents under the Trump policy.
00:26:02.000 There are incentives to cross the border.
00:26:04.000 As we all know, open borders are the thing right now under this administration.
00:26:08.000 We're going to have millions on top of the millions that are already here of undocumented immigrants, illegal aliens based on this bill, and we're going to be paying them to do so.
00:26:17.000 Keep going down the list.
00:26:19.000 The IRS has been, will be empowered under this bill to not only watch our statements and what we're paying in taxes, but to actually go into our bank accounts.
00:26:29.000 There are taxpayer funds in this bill for abortion.
00:26:32.000 Listen, we can have a whole other discussion on whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, but 80%, maybe 90% of Americans agree, no matter where you are on that spectrum, taxpayer funds should not be used for abortions.
00:26:43.000 That's a big part of this bill, too.
00:26:45.000 So many carve outs for special interest.
00:26:47.000 There's payouts to trial lawyers, payouts to big media, payouts to basically anyone that's against America and freedom.
00:26:54.000 You get a special interest payout in this bill.
00:26:57.000 Increases the cost of prescription drugs.
00:27:00.000 Probably it's all just deathly to the American way of government in our republic.
00:27:04.000 But one of the worst are the tax increases on average everyday Americans.
00:27:09.000 That's a huge one.
00:27:10.000 It's going to increase the debt by trillions of dollars, which, of course, we know plays into the increase in inflation, which, of course, we know makes the most expensive Christmas just had the most expensive Thanksgiving on record.
00:27:22.000 Energy independence done.
00:27:24.000 This last, you know, four years under Trump, where we became an energy exporter, not an energy importer, that changes everything geopolitically from a national security interest.
00:27:34.000 But almost as important, if not more, is the mom in Detroit doesn't have to choose between heating and eating because for the first time when we're energy independent, her energy costs go down.
00:27:45.000 Under this bill, they go way back up and we lose all independence on energy.
00:27:49.000 You'll see seven and eight dollar gas.
00:27:51.000 It really is the wish list of the Marxists that is right in front of us every day that they're getting ready to vote on.
00:27:56.000 So, I just want to read some of these lists that you sent us from American First Policy Institute: $64 million to the EPA to contract with environmental justice groups, $5 billion for environmental and climate justice block grants.
00:28:11.000 Who knows where that money will go?
00:28:12.000 Probably to AOC's kind of shock troops.
00:28:15.000 $4 billion in funds for grassroots organizations to fix racist roads and bridges.
00:28:20.000 I mean, I could go on.
00:28:21.000 It's such an extraordinary document that you have here, and very few people have actually gone through the details of it.
00:28:29.000 It includes $11 billion that will likely cause American intellectual property to go to China.
00:28:35.000 As we said, $100 billion to illegals, $2.4 billion to illegal immigrants.
00:28:41.000 So, let me ask you a question, Brooke.
00:28:43.000 Where does this stand now?
00:28:45.000 So, they passed the infrastructure bill.
00:28:47.000 It looks like Republicans increased the debt limit with Schumer, which I was very disappointed to see.
00:28:53.000 Where does this specific bill stand legislatively?
00:28:59.000 Because it seems as if cinema and manchin aren't playing ball with a lot of this.
00:29:04.000 Is that right?
00:29:05.000 Well, that's correct.
00:29:06.000 And for those that pay very close attention, probably not many because it's really boring, but Pelosi and Schumer have been calling for votes on this for months.
00:29:15.000 I mean, we back in October, we were working around the clock to stop got delayed.
00:29:19.000 In November, all of November, they were working around the clock to get the vote up and it was delayed again.
00:29:24.000 In December, Senator Manchin, especially, has been very clear that from the West Virginia perspective, the inflation this will cause, the tax increases this will cause, the destruction to the energy business, especially coal in West Virginia.
00:29:37.000 He's just not comfortable with it.
00:29:39.000 Of course, Senator Manchin has been very on top of, he doesn't like taxpayer funding for abortions.
00:29:44.000 But Senator Sinema in Arizona, too, is not comfortable with what this will do to small business, as she should be.
00:29:50.000 She's not comfortable with what this, you know, America goes back to the highest corporate tax rate in the world under this bill.
00:29:56.000 Of course, we know that's where we were.
00:29:57.000 And then under the Trump years, we decreased that to be more on average.
00:30:01.000 And it unleashed the greatest economy our country had ever seen-the lowest poverty rates for Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, disabled Americans, everyone.
00:30:09.000 And now the Biden team want to throw all of that completely in the trash.
00:30:14.000 And so, where it stands now is we're just continuing to work to educate, especially in key states around the country, what this bill does and is, and hope that it dies on the vine.
00:30:24.000 That's really what we're focusing on right now.
00:30:26.000 So let's let's close on that note, Brooke.
00:30:28.000 What can people do?
00:30:30.000 Because I get this question all the time.
00:30:31.000 They say, Charlie, I call these numbers, no one answers.
00:30:34.000 But if you're in Arizona and you flood cinema or Kelly's office, which is bizarre because Kelly's actually up this cycle, you'd think he'd be more responsive.
00:30:41.000 But I think cinema actually wants to be a senator for the rest of her life.
00:30:44.000 Mark Kelly, I think, just want, I don't really know what Mark Kelly wants to do.
00:30:48.000 Does public pressure work?
00:30:50.000 Public pressure 1,000% works.
00:30:54.000 And I think this is why, Charlie, what you and your platform do is so important every day and really does make a difference when Senator Cinema or Senator Kelly or the Republicans even, when they hear from their constituents that they are educated and they are aware and they know that this bill will destroy America, then they will listen.
00:31:13.000 And really while AFPI and all of our friends are sort of a tool that we're getting the message out and working to educate Americans, we've been up on TV and on radio in these key states for a couple of months now.
00:31:25.000 But it is the people, it is the constituents of these senators that really they need to hear from.
00:31:30.000 They don't care what AFPI says, but they sure care when they get 100 calls from constituents in their state that say, whatever you do, if we want to protect the American way of life, this bill will not do that.
00:31:41.000 It goes the other direction.
00:31:43.000 So Brooke, I'm so glad you mentioned that.
00:31:45.000 We have a big event coming up this weekend, AmFest.com.
00:31:47.000 Obviously, educational focus.
00:31:49.000 We're doing everything we can to educate our audience about what's happening out there.
00:31:53.000 And it's just so incredibly important, Brooke.
00:31:55.000 And so thank you for your great work on it.
00:31:57.000 And AFPI, America First Policy Institute, check it out, Brooke.
00:32:00.000 You have to come back.
00:32:01.000 And it seems as if there's rumblings that the Senate might pivot towards HR1 style stuff.
00:32:07.000 We got to keep our eyes on it.
00:32:08.000 But the more people learn about this bill, the less popular it becomes.
00:32:14.000 Brooke, thank you so much for joining us.
00:32:15.000 It's always awesome.
00:32:16.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:33:48.000 I want to pair all this together.
00:33:49.000 And so I just want to read a little bit more about what is in this bill because I didn't want to take Brooke's time by doing that.
00:33:57.000 600% budget increase for the Internal Revenue Service and a new army of 87,000 federal law enforcement agents.
00:34:04.000 Increases the size of the Department of Labor by 15% to go after small and non-union businesses.
00:34:10.000 Gives the Committee on Natural Resources $31.7 billion, more than the budgets of 27 states.
00:34:15.000 Let me just pause by saying this.
00:34:16.000 When I actually read this, I say, okay, Just being able to stop this is a moral good.
00:34:24.000 I know a lot of you say, Charlie, if there's a rhino running in my state, should I help them?
00:34:27.000 When I read this, defense at times could be morally good.
00:34:30.000 Trust me.
00:34:31.000 I just did a whole segment on how Republicans don't know how to fight.
00:34:33.000 I do think all 50 Republicans are against this nonsense, right, Connor?
00:34:37.000 Is that right?
00:34:38.000 $4.9 trillion, total top-down spending.
00:34:44.000 $100 billion to illegals and promotes open border policies.
00:34:48.000 This is the proposed bill, by the way, just so everyone knows.
00:34:50.000 Build Back Better Bill.
00:34:51.000 Yeah, right.
00:34:52.000 Increases chain migration by funding at least 226,000 family preference visas approvals per year.
00:34:59.000 Funnels approximately $2.4 billion to add illegal immigrants under the Enhanced Child Tax Credit.
00:35:04.000 Provides funding for research conducted by the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party.
00:35:09.000 Includes innovation and research killing socialist prescription drug price controls.
00:35:14.000 It's probably the one thing that I could actually agree with, but we'll get to that later.
00:35:18.000 $2 trillion in new taxes for the middle class.
00:35:23.000 $2 trillion tax hike for taxes, tax hikes for the middle class.
00:35:29.000 Use taxpayer money to radicalize the country.
00:35:31.000 $1 billion per year for the TAA Communities Program.
00:35:35.000 $4 billion to fix racist roads and bridges.
00:35:39.000 A $50,000 tax break for select members of the media.
00:35:43.000 That's right, media members.
00:35:45.000 CNN gets a tax break.
00:35:47.000 They're going to need it.
00:35:48.000 $3 billion for tree planting, related roads for tree equity.
00:35:52.000 $25 million to address health equity.
00:35:55.000 Provides a tax deduction for union dues if they're used for political activities and lobbying.
00:36:01.000 $3.1 billion to expand the Minority Business Development Agency.
00:36:06.000 Ends America's energy independence, creates $8 billion for a heating tax, and I could continue.
00:36:12.000 That's all happening.
00:36:14.000 Now, Pelosi, when asked about Joe Biden, she says he's perfect.
00:36:20.000 He's everything we've always wanted.
00:36:24.000 Play Cut 42.
00:36:26.000 Our country could not be more, could not be better served than with his most experienced, capable hands than yours, President Biden.
00:36:39.000 He's just perfect.
00:36:41.000 The timing couldn't be better.
00:36:43.000 Her teeth were about to fall out of her mouth.
00:36:45.000 I'm convinced of that.
00:36:46.000 It was so close.
00:36:48.000 Just from the brink of oblivion, it was caught back.
00:36:51.000 The chattering teeth of the octogenarian speaker of the house.
00:36:57.000 She's had a lot of work done, let me tell you.
00:37:00.000 So Nancy Pelosi says he's just perfect.
00:37:04.000 I wouldn't change a thing.
00:37:06.000 And for her worldview, she's right.
00:37:09.000 For Ayanna Presley, Rashida Talib, AOC, Schumer, Raphael Warnock, Mark Kelly, they all have something in common.
00:37:20.000 They do want to see the U.S. dollar weakened.
00:37:23.000 They do want to see these borders wide open.
00:37:26.000 And the Build Back Better bill, which is just a pile of garbage, we just went through that, is a means to the end for that.
00:37:36.000 Now, breaking in just the last couple of minutes, some very interesting news from Jesse Rodriguez from NBC News, who actually tends to be rather accurate when he breaks stuff.
00:37:45.000 Senate expected to shelve Build Back Better plan, moving forward aggressively now on, quote, voting rights.
00:37:53.000 So because corporate lobbyists got in the way for good reason and killed the Build Back Better bill, they're going to shift gears and try to get cinema and mansion to a nationwide takeover of HR1.
00:38:06.000 Now, I want to scare you as we end this hour.
00:38:10.000 Joe Biden says, I want to tell my Republican friends, get ready, Bal.
00:38:14.000 You're in for a problem.
00:38:15.000 What if Joe Biden thinks he's going to win because he's going to have a federal takeover of elections?
00:38:22.000 What if Joe Biden thinks he's going to win because he thinks up his sleeve he's going to be able to convince Manchin Cinema and every other Democrat to have a national takeover of mail and balloting and destroy state sovereignty of elections?
00:38:35.000 That is about to become the most consequential intergenerational fight that Congress will ever take on.
00:38:42.000 Keep your eyes peeled for that.
00:38:45.000 That's been their backup plan all along.
