00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody.
00:00:00.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk show, we got a lot of problems in our country.
00:00:05.000 But why are Republicans doing nothing about it on a state-by-state level?
00:00:09.000 I start with the foreign policy analysis of what Joe Biden is doing, but then I depart from that.
00:00:14.000 And I say, yes, he's destroying the country, of course, obviously.
00:00:18.000 But let's do something.
00:00:19.000 Action.
00:00:20.000 We talk about what that could be.
00:00:22.000 A little spicy of an episode.
00:00:23.000 I know some of you enjoy that.
00:00:26.000 So if you just want vanilla, sugar-coated, milquetoast, boring commentary, well, then go watch cable news.
00:00:36.000 But if you want to get right to the heart of the matter, I think you'll enjoy this.

00:01:12.000 Buckle up everybody.
00:01:13.000 Here we go, Charlie.
00:01:15.000 What you've done is incredible here.
00:01:16.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:18.000 I want you to know.
00:01:19.000 We are lucky to have Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk's running the White House.
00:01:24.000 Folks, I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:26.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:27.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:29.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:34.000 Turning point.
00:01:36.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:44.000 That's why we are here, brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew And Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrewandtodd.com.
00:01:56.000 Joe Biden is in Saudi Arabia.
00:01:59.000 He was just in Israel.
00:02:00.000 Israel is one of my favorite places on the planet.
00:02:02.000 If you've never been to Israel, it is amazing.
00:02:05.000 I encourage you to do so.
00:02:07.000 Israel's awesome for a lot of different reasons.
00:02:10.000 I love Israel because they're very clear about the type of country they want to be.
00:02:13.000 They don't care about the haters.
00:02:15.000 They don't care about the international community that tries to pressure them.
00:02:18.000 They say, we're a Jewish country and we're going to remain a Jewish country.
00:02:21.000 We're going to defend our borders, we're going to have territorial sovereignty, and not to mention, as a Christian, I think it's amazing to be able to see the bible come to just full technicolor.
00:02:36.000 And Israel has this dispute with what they call Palestine or Palestinians, which is a largely created people, just kind of fictitious identity for people that, quite honestly, are West Jordanian refugees. 0.88
00:02:49.000 So Joe Biden just finished making a fool of himself.
00:02:52.000 In Israel, we've been avoiding this for obvious reasons. 0.93
00:02:57.000 I think a lot of what's been happening here domestically is far more important than a lot of kind of the charade that Joe Biden is putting on internationally.
00:03:05.000 So what's interesting though, is typically presidents go abroad to try and turn around their They're failing poll numbers.
00:03:14.000 Nothing is as popular domestically than going abroad.
00:03:18.000 It's kind of an old presidential practice going back to probably Richard Nixon, who tried to turn around some of his floundering poll numbers by going to China and did so successfully by opening China.
00:03:29.000 A bad decision, by the way, never should have been done, but it looked as if he was magnanimous and he was clear about the direction of the Western world.
00:03:37.000 Presidents go abroad when they try to avoid problems that are happening domestically.
00:03:41.000 It's nothing new.
00:03:42.000 You can't blame Biden for that.
00:03:43.000 He's one of the most unpopular presidents since I think the recording of polling. 0.68
00:03:48.000 But what's remarkable is how Biden went internationally, and it seems as if he's making a bigger fool of himself and of America just from a communication standpoint.
00:04:00.000 So we're going to talk a little bit about this. 0.68
00:04:01.000 We're not going to dwell too much on it just because we've grown so accustomed to Joe Biden make a complete and total mockery of the United States. 0.98
00:04:10.000 And I say this, and I'll say it again: we deserve so much better than this corrupt clown that is meandering around the Middle East. 0.99
00:04:18.000 You deserve better. 0.98
00:04:19.000 Hardworking Americans deserve better.
00:04:21.000 Our veterans deserve better.
00:04:24.000 People that obey the law and love the country, this guy should be nowhere near leadership.
00:04:28.000 He shouldn't be running a bingo club in the villages, let alone running the nuclear arsenal and the wealthiest, most generous, powerful country in the history of the world.
00:04:40.000 I mean, this guy would be in a close tie to try to be dog catcher in Boca Raton, Florida, let alone president of the United States.
00:04:51.000 So Joe Biden goes to Israel, and let's play some tape from it.
00:04:56.000 Again, we've grown used to this, but you need to continue to air it and talk about it.
00:05:00.000 And then I'm going to talk about the geopolitical implications and how it believes is being missed in Joe Biden's visit to Israel and Saudi Arabia and how that game plays into the World Economic Forum's ambitions to crush America, destroy our sovereignty, and take your property away.
00:05:15.000 Let's start with this one.
00:05:16.000 Joe Biden says we need to keep alive the truth and the honor of the Holocaust. 0.58
00:05:22.000 Play Cut 94. 0.51
00:05:24.000 Later today, I will once more return to the hollow ground of Yad Shev Veshem to honor 6 million Jewish lives who were stolen in the genocide to keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust, horror of the Holocaust. 0.51
00:05:41.000 He obviously meant to say horror, not honor.
00:05:44.000 Cut 96, Joe Biden makes incredible gaff about sending COVID-19 to West Bank in Gaza.
00:05:50.000 We deserve so much better than this.
00:05:53.000 Play Cut 96.
00:05:54.000 That's why when I came to office, I reserved the policy.
00:05:59.000 I reversed the policies of my predecessor and resumed aid to the Palestinians to respond to the pandemic, including donating more than 1 million doses of COVID-19 to the West Bank in Gaza.
00:06:13.000 Cut 97, Joe Biden just asked the question: what am I doing now?
00:06:18.000 Cut 97. 0.98
00:06:26.000 It's pathetic. 0.97
00:06:28.000 This threatens American national security. 0.99
00:06:31.000 Here is a truth that most liberals and suburban soccer moms that vote Democrat and mask when they shower don't want to admit. 0.95
00:06:38.000 There's evil in the world, and evil will not go away just with a press release or flying a gay pride flag over your embassy.
00:06:46.000 You must be respected and feared to destroy evil. 0.92
00:06:49.000 There's some very insidious forces on the planet right now: Iran, China. 0.75
00:06:56.000 And what do we think that they're going to back down when Joe Biden says, What am I doing now? 0.53
00:07:02.000 No one is respecting or fearing Joe Biden.
00:07:06.000 In fact, that's part of the game.
00:07:09.000 We'll go to this one here.
00:07:10.000 Joe Biden tries to shake hands with an empty air, play cut 95.
00:07:19.000 Thank you, President Herzog, and President Biden.
00:07:22.000 He just tries to go straight after.
00:07:24.000 I mean, maybe Joe Biden's embracing Adam Smith's invisible hand.
00:07:28.000 I don't know.
00:07:29.000 It's not the first time he's done that, by the way.
00:07:33.000 This guy's running the nuclear arsenal.
00:07:35.000 He's in charge of our diplomacy.
00:07:37.000 He's the commander-in-chief.
00:07:39.000 I refuse to believe that this man got how many votes?
00:07:42.000 82 million votes or whatever?
00:07:44.000 He might have had 82 million ballots, 81 million?
00:07:49.000 Might have had 81 million ballots.
00:07:50.000 I refuse to believe.
00:07:52.000 That is not the country I live in.
00:07:54.000 I know that some people love what Joe Biden is doing.
00:07:58.000 I refuse to believe that's the country.
00:08:00.000 I really do.
00:08:00.000 So Joe Biden goes to Israel.
00:08:03.000 And look, Joe Biden, when he was a senator, was always trying to play kind of the middle broker.
00:08:11.000 Now, Joe Biden is a neocon.
00:08:14.000 He believes in endless war, in reshaping different regions of the Middle East.
00:08:19.000 And I'll be very honest, I don't like talking that much about foreign policy unless it's directly impacting American national security and sovereignty.
00:08:28.000 In fact, I think a majority of national security conversations in Washington, D.C., are largely driven by the war industry and driven by the military-industrial complex and driven by the perpetual occupation state of where they want to just continue to play war games and it does not have any direct implications to American safety, security, or sovereignty.
00:08:52.000 And so when you look at American national security at its best, it must always come to the prison of does this affect the American people and how does America benefit from my actions and my activities? 1.00
00:09:09.000 Now, when you go to the Middle East, you must first recognize that the Middle East is a trap. 0.96
00:09:15.000 The Middle East can get you bogged down. 1.00
00:09:17.000 The Middle East can bankrupt your nation. 1.00
00:09:20.000 The Middle East can easily get you distracted. 0.91
00:09:22.000 This is something that Donald Trump understood by pure instinct.
00:09:27.000 Look, the Middle East is incredibly murky. 0.93
00:09:30.000 It is the grayest area on the planet. 0.98
00:09:33.000 People that one day might seem as if they're a friend might be trying to undermine you.
00:09:38.000 It is the sneakiest region on the planet. 0.99
00:09:42.000 So we must understand that when you're dealing with either the Saudis or you're dealing with the Turks or you're dealing with the Jordanians, there's ulterior motives at play.
00:09:53.000 But there is a very significant American energy story here that is not being told.
00:10:00.000 And the American national security state would love us to do nothing more than focus on the Middle East all day long.
00:10:06.000 I'm not saying it's unimportant.
00:10:08.000 I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about it ever. 0.72
00:10:10.000 But I'm a lot more worried about our poor southern border, our suicidal generation, our fentanyl-addicted population, inflation and gas prices than I am about the internal politics of Saudi Arabia.
00:10:23.000 Sorry, it really doesn't motivate me towards dedicating an entire hour towards it. 0.60
00:10:28.000 It's so murky, can get you bogged down.
00:10:30.000 You could find yourself immersed as if this is somehow our role.
00:10:34.000 We're going to talk about that and really what Joe Biden's true goal is in the Middle East and how he believes that's going to play into his complete and total destruction of the United States of America.
00:10:46.000 For a couple of years now, people have been setting up a contest between crypto and gold, but that's like comparing a truck with an SUV.
00:10:52.000 Both carry stuff and travel from A to B, but they do different jobs.
00:10:55.000 Gold's job is to keep the value of your money safe and preserve its value.
00:10:59.000 And since Ukraine, the oil and the inflation crisis has done a brilliant job compared to stocks and other investments.
00:11:04.000 So if you're worried about what's going on right now, who isn't?
00:11:07.000 Just talk to an expert at Noble Gold about precious metal IRAs for your retirement.
00:11:11.000 They'll put you straight on your options and hold your hand through the whole setup process.
00:11:15.000 And this month, for any qualified IRA, you'll get an incredible three-ounce silver American virtue coin completely free as a thank you.
00:11:22.000 So call 877-646-5347.

00:11:29.000 That's noblegoldinvestments.com. 0.87
00:11:34.000 We do not need Saudi Arabia.
00:11:36.000 We don't need Russia. 0.88
00:11:37.000 We don't need any of these countries.
00:11:38.000 But in this gray, murky region of geopolitics, you must understand what is your greatest enemy.
00:11:47.000 Who is your greatest enemy? 0.93
00:11:48.000 Our greatest enemy is the Chinese Communist Party. 0.98
00:11:51.000 Period. 0.94
00:11:51.000 Every single foreign policy decision must be made through the prism of restraining and defeating the Chinese Communist Party. 0.94
00:12:00.000 I'm no fan of Saudi Arabia. 0.91
00:12:03.000 Part of Saudi Arabian families were involved behind 9-11. 0.73
00:12:06.000 I'm no fan of Russia. 1.00
00:12:08.000 Putin is a thug. 0.78
00:12:10.000 But if Saudi Arabia and Russia can be used in a triangulation strategy to restrain and defeat the Chinese Communist Party, that would be prudent. 0.78
00:12:19.000 Now, part of the American foreign policy establishment that has existed post-World War II is this fraudulent utopianism that somehow we can bring Western values in a moment and an instant and throw them into a country.
00:12:37.000 Now, I do want to build out one part of this because it can seem a little bit confusing because there is this incantation, for example, that is used by a lot of people.
00:12:48.000 And it's not necessarily, I would say, ushered or fostered with malintent, which is, hey, Ukraine is having their 1776 moment.
00:13:01.000 And during the Arab Spring, with many of you remember and lived through, they're having their 1776 moment.
00:13:07.000 Well, no, they're not, actually.
00:13:09.000 Now, Nicole Hannah Jones, she put forward the 1619 project, where she thought that was the true founding of America.
00:13:15.000 I reject that categorically, completely, and totally.
00:13:20.000 I will, however, say, though, that there is some merit to the claim that the development of the American desire for liberty did take longer than just one year.
00:13:32.000 That it was a lot of philosophical, religious, and spiritual work that had to go in over the course of 120 years to get the entire American colonies ready to demand self-government.
00:13:47.000 The American foreign policy establishment believes that we can swoop in and say they're ready for self-government in the Constitution.
00:13:54.000 Actually, did they put the work in?
00:13:56.000 Did they go through the literature, the scholarship, the education, the reflection of whether or not they want to embrace Western values and the arrogance that so many people have in the American foreign policy establishment, they say, oh yeah, Ukraine's ready.
00:14:10.000 Are they?
00:14:12.000 Have they gone through a religious revival that was necessary before the American Revolution and founding, such as the Great Awakening?
00:14:20.000 What authors and thinkers have heavily influenced Ukrainian culture where they're ready to demand separation of powers, consent to the governed, independent judiciary?
00:14:29.000 These are important things to ask before you're willing to participate American tax dollars in an experiment of neoconservatism halfway around the world, of which we've already spent, by the way, $56 billion sending to Ukraine, more than the GDP of North Dakota.
00:14:46.000 Now, imagine if our leader spent $56 billion on a tax rebate to make it easier for you to be able to afford gas.
00:14:54.000 Instead of sending that $56 billion, where we can't even trace where the weapons have gone, we don't know what happened to it.
00:15:00.000 Weapons are being trafficked all across the Middle East.
00:15:04.000 Now, all of these things relate to one to the other.
00:15:07.000 Or $56 billion, by the way.
00:15:08.000 How about to the border?
00:15:09.000 No, that would put America first.
00:15:12.000 Our leaders want nothing to do with that.
00:15:14.000 They'd rather send $56 billion to a far-off, distant land.
00:15:19.000 So Joe Biden right now is meeting with the Saudis.
00:15:22.000 Look, I make no qualms about it. 1.00
00:15:24.000 I think the Saudis are somewhat shady actors, but they could be very helpful to America. 0.98
00:15:29.000 So those are two different things.
00:15:31.000 If the Saudis can help American interests, then let's play ball. 0.98
00:15:36.000 However, let's be honest. 0.93
00:15:39.000 And by the way, the Saudis are very effective at hedging against Iran.
00:15:43.000 We don't need Saudi oil if we drilled and explored our own energy assets.
00:15:50.000 Joe Biden comes without the key ingredient.
00:15:54.000 Joe Biden enters into Saudi Arabia.
00:15:56.000 I think he's in Riyadh, if I'm not mistaken.
00:15:59.000 Without what every American president needs before they go abroad.
00:16:04.000 Do not step foot on Air Force One abroad until you have the most important thing, leverage.
00:16:12.000 If you do not have leverage, you should not take off.
00:16:16.000 If you do not have leverage, you should never go meet with an ally or an enemy or an adversary.
00:16:21.000 It's nothing more than a photo op.
00:16:22.000 You see, America at its best has leverage.
00:16:25.000 Why?
00:16:26.000 Well, we're bordered by two allies.
00:16:30.000 At least I think the Mexican government's an ally, sort of.
00:16:34.000 They're fostering and protecting of the Mexican drug cartels makes it awfully suspicious.
00:16:39.000 We're bodied by two big, massive swaths of water, and we have more energy and farmland than we know what to do with.
00:16:46.000 That is leverage.
00:16:49.000 Joe Biden comes at a time where we're not using our own energy advantage.
00:16:54.000 Joe Biden goes to Saudi Arabia at a time when he's willing to go beg Saudi to try and fuel our own country.
00:17:05.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:17:07.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
00:17:10.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
00:17:12.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:17:17.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:17:25.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:17:31.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:17:32.000 So here's the deal.

00:18:01.000 So Biden's in Saudi Arabia right now for a reason.
00:18:06.000 And the reason is they look at Saudi Arabia as the bridge to bring them to a fossil fuel free future.
00:18:13.000 Say that four times quickly.
00:18:15.000 A fossil fuel free future. 0.99
00:18:18.000 The four Fs that they want to bring to America. 0.94
00:18:20.000 Now, why do they want a fossil fuel free future? 0.76
00:18:24.000 Well, they want individual autonomy.
00:18:26.000 They want American energy independence and superiority to be completely eliminated.
00:18:32.000 You're easier to control if you have to plug in your car to an electrical vehicle station every single day.
00:18:39.000 The idea of the Western spirit of drive west, young man, or go west is something inherent with having abundant energy.
00:18:48.000 You're already seeing people cut back.
00:18:50.000 For example, Kamala Harris is admitting it.
00:18:52.000 Look, all you need to do is to get to be able to go to where you need to go to go to work and get home.
00:18:57.000 Driving for the sake of driving is being completely and totally eliminated and crushed from within.
00:19:04.000 Play Cut 54.
00:19:05.000 Backgrounds.
00:19:06.000 Together, we are expanding access to transportation.
00:19:11.000 Seems like maybe it's a small issue, it's a big issue.
00:19:14.000 You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home.
00:19:20.000 So we have expanded access to transportation.
00:19:23.000 Man, I can't stand her. 0.94
00:19:24.000 I'll just be very honest.
00:19:25.000 It reminds me, it's just like Costanza.
00:19:27.000 Can't stand you.
00:19:28.000 I'll tell you what.
00:19:29.000 Yeah, 81 million votes for her. 1.00
00:19:31.000 Sure.
00:19:32.000 But you must understand that a core component of the Great Reset is energy.
00:19:38.000 A key component, I should say.
00:19:40.000 If you read all the Davos documents, if you read from the World Economic Forum, it's always about energy.
00:19:50.000 Why is that?
00:19:52.000 Because they want a form of energy that they can control.
00:19:55.000 So, for example, on the World Economic Forum website, it says it right here.
00:19:58.000 By the way, we've talked openly about how the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset, they advertise their ambitions and their goals publicly.
00:20:06.000 They're hiding in plain sight.
00:20:08.000 So the World Economic Forum, they have this: the Global Future on Energy Transition.
00:20:13.000 Quote: The scale and pace of the ongoing energy transition will be affected by the actions taken by business and government in the response to the COVID-19 health and economic shocks.
00:20:24.000 The global future on energy transition will provide a vision for the transition to a more sustainable, inclusive, and affordable post-COVID world.
00:20:33.000 It will convene thought leaders from the energy and finance industries, academia, and civil society to provide a perspective on progress, identify barriers to the energy transition in both developing and developed regions, and seek to build consensus and incubate policy measures that could accelerate the transition.
00:20:51.000 And they have an entire board of directors on the WEFForum.org.
00:20:57.000 And guess who is the director of the member of this, the first person listed on the World Economic Forum website?
00:21:04.000 Musab Almullah, who is the director of Saudi Aramco.
00:21:10.000 You see, as the West divests from fossil fuels and we decide we do not want to use our energy assets in Alaska, if we do not want to deregulate our ability to transport energy as we don't have the Keystone Pipeline built, which I'll talk about in just a second, then it actually makes the very countries that Washington, D.C. tells us to hate, like Russia and Saudi Arabia, more powerful.
00:21:36.000 There is no greater gift to Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman than green energy in America, period.
00:21:44.000 But you must understand that Joe Biden and his cartel of criminals around him, being a spokesperson and willing participant and leader in the World Economic Forum Great Reset agenda, they look at Saudi Arabia as a temporary gas station to ease the fears and the anxiety of the American people as they can try to implement us towards a top-down controlled green energy grid.
00:22:13.000 They want us to be on public transportation, easier to control.
00:22:16.000 They want to try to get rid of fossil fuels, which is one of the reasons why America is so wealthy and prosperous.
00:22:23.000 It really is remarkable when it goes into the power of green ideology.
00:22:29.000 It's environmental paganism at its core, which is the worship of the earth and the forsaking of human flourishing and excellence to try to accomplish some sort of nonspecific, utopian, green future, where regardless of the geopolitical damage, regardless of the type of suffering that might ensue, they're far willing to go.
00:22:54.000 They're willing to go beg Saudi Arabia for oil, but not try to use our own oil in the Permian Basin and the Balkan Shale.
00:23:01.000 Now, I'll be very honest.
00:23:03.000 The leadership of Republican parties is so poor on this.
00:23:07.000 So many Republican governors do not recognize and realize that state sovereignty is a direct threat to what Davos is trying to do.
00:23:18.000 So, for example, we've said this many times on our program, but there is no reason at all whatsoever why Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, they should go build the Keystone pipeline now.
00:23:33.000 Defy the federal government the same way the left defied the federal government when it came to immigration policy in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.
00:23:40.000 And Republican governors could start to solve our energy crisis.
00:23:44.000 But Republicans have grown so accustomed to what?
00:23:48.000 Just go write a letter and don't look at solutions.
00:23:52.000 I want a Republican party that is actually going to go about and solve our problems regardless of what the federal government's going to do.
00:23:59.000 And so America will continue to devolve if Republican state-based leaders are just waiting for the next election cycle to solve things.
00:24:08.000 We are running out of election cycles.
00:24:12.000 And I'd love your thoughts on this, by the way, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:24:15.000 Maybe you are perfectly fine with just waiting for the next election cycle, but why is it that we aren't building the Keystone XL pipeline?
00:24:23.000 Because we're waiting for the federal government?
00:24:25.000 Ignore them.
00:24:26.000 The left does it all the time.
00:24:28.000 The left ignores the federal government when they don't get what they want.
00:24:32.000 It's not about what we want right now.
00:24:34.000 We need energy.
00:24:36.000 Federal leases aren't being used.
00:24:38.000 State Republican governors should defy them.
00:24:40.000 Make the federal government come in.
00:24:42.000 Create a constitutional crisis.
00:24:45.000 Actually, it's not a constitutional crisis.
00:24:47.000 It's totally consistent with the United States Constitution and the 10th Amendment.
00:24:52.000 We're about restoring state sovereignty, restoring local government.
00:24:57.000 And Republicans are so afraid of their shadow that these weak-kneed Republicans, they bend the knee to the federal government.
00:25:05.000 They'll say, oh, I'll see you in court.
00:25:06.000 No, just do it.
00:25:07.000 Actually, we are running out of time.
00:25:09.000 And again, I want your thoughts on this.
00:25:11.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:25:13.000 Maybe you feel we have plenty of time left and we can wait till the 24, 26, 28 election.
00:25:18.000 But the great frustration I have with this as Biden goes and fist bumps Muhammad bin Salman in Saudi Arabia, the frustration that I have is that we have given our political power to leaders on the state-based level only to have them give us nothing but excuses as to why they can't go about solving the very problems that we gave them political power to go and try and solve.
00:25:41.000 And they say, well, I don't have this in my authority.
00:25:44.000 According to what document exactly?
00:25:46.000 According to the media?
00:25:47.000 According to some sort of strange mirage that you're afraid the federal government is going to get angry at you?
00:25:55.000 We must understand that the states created the federal government.
00:25:59.000 The federal government didn't create the states.
00:26:01.000 Tick tock, tick tock. 0.77
00:26:04.000 And not that TikTok, not the Chinese Communist Party app that's making your grandkids hate themselves. 0.82
00:26:08.000 I'm talking about TikTok. 0.69
00:26:10.000 We're running out of time.
00:26:12.000 And so if the states are serious about reclaiming America, if we are serious about reclaiming America, then we need a lot more than press releases and just waiting for the next election cycle.
00:26:25.000 And that ties in directly with what's happening in Saudi Arabia. 0.59
00:26:28.000 So the gut reaction is to do this.
00:26:30.000 And there's nothing incorrect with this, but it is totally and completely incomplete.
00:26:36.000 So I'm going to play a piece of tape here, and it's fine, but it's kind of just like the typical response.
00:26:42.000 It's Kevin McCarthy talking about how Biden is begging for oil because of his failed policies.
00:26:47.000 This is right, but it's incomplete.
00:26:48.000 Play cut 91.
00:26:50.000 Let's be honest.
00:26:50.000 The only reason President Biden is going to Saudi Arabia is to beg for them to produce more oil.
00:26:57.000 He travels all the way to Saudi Arabia to beg them to go against everything he said in a campaign, simply because his policies from day one have denied America to be energy independent, to have American jobs, and to be more environmentally sound.
00:27:13.000 It's unbelievable.
00:27:14.000 That's correct, but let's start doing something about it.
00:27:18.000 Don't all of you want to start to see action on this?
00:27:21.000 We elect Republicans all up and down the heartland of our country.
00:27:24.000 We elect Republicans in the state legislative races and Senate races.
00:27:28.000 We elect Republican attorney generals.
00:27:30.000 Let's start to use that political power to improve the well-being of our citizens.
00:27:36.000 We have played the game.
00:27:38.000 Why are we sending our emergency oil overseas?
00:27:41.000 Treasonous. 0.66
00:27:43.000 Why are we doing business with a Chinese Communist Party energy company that Hunter Biden was a partner in?
00:27:48.000 Treasonous. 0.94
00:27:49.000 All that's important.
00:27:50.000 And we need our federal government, hopefully, to be reclaimed by Republicans in the Senate and the House.
00:27:56.000 But the real action that I think is being totally missed is that if we're serious about challenging the World Economic Forum and the Davos crowd, if we're serious about it, then it's going to have to take some acts of civil disobedience and defiance, peacefully, of course, by the states.
00:28:14.000 It's going to have to require a word that is so sorely lacking in the Republican Party, courage.
00:28:23.000 Because we kind of fall into the trap, right?
00:28:26.000 Oh, wow.
00:28:28.000 He's in Saudi Arabia dishonoring us, giving fist bumps. 1.00
00:28:31.000 And yeah, that's true.
00:28:32.000 What are we doing about it?
00:28:34.000 Waiting?
00:28:35.000 Not acceptable.
00:28:36.000 Sorry.
00:28:36.000 Let's not.
00:28:37.000 I'm done waiting.
00:28:39.000 Where do you think the Permian Basin is?
00:28:41.000 Mostly in Texas.
00:28:43.000 Tell the federal government to go pound sand and get the oil we need. 0.83
00:28:48.000 Keystone XL pipeline goes through all red states. 0.88
00:28:51.000 Build it. 0.99
00:28:53.000 Balkan shale.
00:28:54.000 Explore it.
00:28:57.000 States need to start to think like leaders.
00:29:00.000 The GOP could do a lot right now and forget Congress.
00:29:03.000 It's fine.
00:29:04.000 Whatever.
00:29:04.000 Congress is going to do their job.
00:29:06.000 They basically write letters and they cross-examine people.
00:29:08.000 Very important, by the way.
00:29:09.000 I'm not diminishing that, especially to hold our unelected federal bureaucracies accountable.
00:29:14.000 But the lack of creativity, boldness, and clear vision from the states, I think is this massive vacuum happening in front of us because we've been trained like Pavlovian dogs.
00:29:25.000 Wow, Biden goes to Saudi Arabia.
00:29:27.000 That's really bad.
00:29:28.000 I guess we got to wait till 2024.
00:29:30.000 No, you don't.
00:29:32.000 You don't.
00:29:33.000 If we had the spine Democrats have on immigration, where they just ignore the federal government when it comes to immigration policy, they don't deport rapists.
00:29:41.000 They don't deport arsonists.
00:29:43.000 They just do whatever they want.
00:29:45.000 In Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, if we had the spine, you could fill in some other words for that, we'd have our energy crisis solved today.
00:29:52.000 But Republicans are doing what?
00:29:55.000 Oh, they're waiting till 2024.
00:29:58.000 In my opinion, we don't have till 2024.
00:30:04.000 We don't have time.
00:30:06.000 I know the timeline of the World Economic Forum.
00:30:08.000 How do you know that, Charlie?
00:30:09.000 Because I visit their website.
00:30:12.000 It's not some sort of like deep exploration.
00:30:15.000 Go to worldeconomicforum.org and see it yourself.
00:30:17.000 I want to hear from you.
00:30:18.000 Do you think we have time?
00:30:19.000 Do you want to see your Republicans start to solve these problems?
00:30:21.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:30:24.000 We have the power.
00:30:25.000 How about our leaders start to use it?
00:30:29.000 Is it possible that what has happened to the United States and the world from COVID-19 to 9-11 are part of an ancient mystery?
00:30:36.000 Is it a warning?
00:30:37.000 Does the mystery tell us what is yet to come?
00:30:40.000 Do we have the key to uncover it?
00:30:42.000 New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Kahn takes audiences on an epic journey to uncover the stunning mystery.

00:31:03.000 From Jonathan Kahn comes the explosive motion picture, the harbinger of things to come.
00:31:08.000 If you missed it in theaters, stream it today at salemnow.com.
00:31:11.000 The harbinger of things to come, the one movie you cannot afford to miss.
00:31:15.000 Go to salemnow.com.
00:31:16.000 That is salemnow.com.
00:31:21.000 What I am attempting to do is to try to move the Overton window of what we believe is possible.
00:31:28.000 Look, the conservative movement, we largely live in a box of our own creation, scared of our own shadow, to try to just wait out the clock.
00:31:37.000 Now, some critics will say, Charlie, you are pushing the limits of the United States Constitution.
00:31:42.000 I completely and totally disagree with that.
00:31:45.000 We're restoring the Constitution.
00:31:47.000 We've allowed the states to be railroaded by federal government intrusion for the last 60 years, 70 years, 80 years.
00:31:55.000 The states have plenary powers.
00:31:58.000 Again, the states congregated together and gave up their sovereignty to the federal government.
00:32:03.000 We have been held captive by a federal tax dollar for far too long.
00:32:07.000 Now, some critics say, well, Charlie, what are you calling for secession?
00:32:11.000 The exact opposite.
00:32:12.000 I'm actually calling for the reassertion of the union, where you can only have a union if states are allowed to govern themselves on the most important matters and issues.
00:32:22.000 In fact, I believe the breaking up of America becomes more likely the more centralized planning you do.
00:32:29.000 I actually think we get along better when you leave everyone in their own pockets of the country to deal with some of these more intimate issues.
00:32:36.000 Every single controversial issue, the Democrats want to centralize it in Washington, D.C. and take control.
00:32:42.000 But what bothers me so much is I talk to these Republican governors, some of them, and they're like, well, I can't do that, federal government.
00:32:51.000 Tell them to go pound sand. 0.96
00:32:55.000 Who cares?
00:32:57.000 Well, I might get my federal tax dollars.
00:33:00.000 Good.
00:33:01.000 You'll be freer. 0.60
00:33:02.000 You're nothing more than a drug addict trying to play off the nonstop cash flow of a federal bureaucracy.
00:33:08.000 Free yourself. 0.99
00:33:10.000 Oh, they're going to come arrest me as a sitting governor.
00:33:13.000 Well, that would be interesting to see.
00:33:16.000 Well, my road funding is tied to it.
00:33:18.000 Then find another way to finance your government.
00:33:20.000 Maybe think a little bit creatively.
00:33:23.000 Stop being a bureaucrat, afraid of my shadow type leader.
00:33:27.000 Well, I can't do that because the highway funding might dry up.
00:33:31.000 You know, you can fund stuff yourself as a state.
00:33:34.000 Figure it out.
00:33:36.000 If I were to give one contribution in the year 2022, just a single one to the Republican Party and the conservative movement, it would be embrace one sliver of Machiavellian political theory.
00:33:48.000 Now, when you think of Machiavellianism, you're like, oh, Charlie, the ends justify the means.
00:33:53.000 That's an oversimplification of just one of the writings of Machiavelli.
00:33:58.000 Machiavelli had an amazing canon of work.
00:34:04.000 We obviously just think of him for writing The Prince, but there's another part where he challenged behavioral patterns.
00:34:13.000 He challenged what we have grown accustomed to.
00:34:15.000 And he said, if we know what we want, why don't we go do it?
00:34:21.000 Now, I know that sounds so simple.
00:34:23.000 You're like, Charlie, of course.
00:34:25.000 Then why don't we go do it?
00:34:26.000 Why don't we go make red states energy independent?
00:34:29.000 Why do we need Saudi Arabia?
00:34:31.000 Why do you need the federal government?
00:34:32.000 Why do you need the EPA?
00:34:33.000 Why do you need the Department of Energy?
00:34:35.000 No, no, no.
00:34:35.000 What's the reason?
00:34:36.000 Oh, because it's against their rules.
00:34:38.000 They break the rules every day.
00:34:40.000 How are they going to enforce them exactly?
00:34:42.000 Who created the federal government?
00:34:43.000 Who's in charge?
00:34:46.000 You can do anything you want as long as it's in the pursuit of goodness and virtue and truth if you have the political will to do it.
00:34:55.000 Now, you might say, Well, Charlie, who's truth?
00:34:57.000 Thanks for asking the question, subjective person who graduated from college.
00:35:02.000 There's only one truth.
00:35:04.000 You might have one experience.
00:35:06.000 You might have different experiences, I should say, but it's not going to solve itself by shuffling around cards.
00:35:13.000 And this is something that's so interesting: the Republicans in D.C. are so afraid of what they're actually creating.
00:35:21.000 The Republicans are like, well, this is going to tear the country apart.
00:35:23.000 No, no, no.
00:35:24.000 You doing nothing will tear the country apart.
00:35:27.000 You want to reinvigorate the country?
00:35:29.000 Action, boldness.
00:35:30.000 And yes, I know this sounds controversial, but peaceful and constitutional defiance of the federal government will actually strengthen the nation.
00:35:40.000 If the federal government does not faithfully execute the laws, if the federal government is starving its citizens, what do you do?
00:35:49.000 Oh, you wait for the next election?
00:35:53.000 No, this is an important thought exercise for the weak-needed Republicans all across the heartland of the country.
00:35:59.000 I want to hear from them.
00:36:00.000 I want, like, for example, Asa Hutchinson, complete waste of time.
00:36:03.000 If the federal government starts to say, well, you can't have farmland.
00:36:07.000 We're confiscating food.
00:36:08.000 Do you wait for the next election?
00:36:10.000 Do you write a letter?
00:36:10.000 Do you issue a press release?
00:36:12.000 Where's your line exactly?
00:36:14.000 Or are you just going to say, oh, we don't have the solutions to do it?
00:36:17.000 Sorry.
00:36:17.000 We don't have the political will.
00:36:19.000 We're not able to do it. 0.99
00:36:21.000 Cowards, all of them. 0.99
00:36:22.000 Run them out of the party. 1.00
00:36:24.000 There's a new moment.
00:36:25.000 And I understand a lot of leaders don't have the stomach for this.
00:36:28.000 They said, I didn't sign up for this.
00:36:30.000 I wanted to be a governor.
00:36:31.000 I wanted to be a paper pusher.
00:36:33.000 I wanted to try and get tax rates down in my state.
00:36:37.000 Great, terrific, wonderful.
00:36:38.000 Taxes are too high.
00:36:39.000 Get in line.
00:36:40.000 We have a whole chamber of commerce that wants to do that.
00:36:42.000 How about you go feed your people?
00:36:45.000 How about you make sure you can get gas in the tank or secure the southern border?
00:36:51.000 You see, when things start to fall apart, it's tempting and easy to look to the Capitol, look to Washington, D.C., and say, well, we are, we have our hands tied.
00:37:03.000 Actually, no, you don't.
00:37:05.000 You tied your own hands because you don't think creatively and you're afraid of the New York Times.
00:37:11.000 We, the people, are sovereign.
00:37:13.000 And we, the people, give our power first to the local government, then the state government.
00:37:19.000 And so I don't want to hear excuses anymore.
00:37:23.000 And if I have to get another one of these emails from the establishment Republicans, I'm going to lose it.
00:37:28.000 Triple match, urgent alert.
00:37:29.000 How about you go do something, anything?
00:37:31.000 I need more money.
00:37:32.000 Actually, you really don't.
00:37:33.000 How about you govern and then I'll give you some money?
00:37:37.000 Drill, build the Keystone Pipeline, deport illegals, build the wall, create the future you want to live in. 0.96
00:37:45.000 I'm done with the excuses.
00:37:48.000 I don't want to hear about the EPA or the Department of Energy.
00:37:51.000 I don't want to hear about Biden's overreach.
00:37:53.000 Ignore him.
00:37:56.000 He's had his turn.
00:37:58.000 We played the game.
00:37:59.000 We gave him a couple months.
00:38:01.000 We said, okay, maybe he's going to come to the middle.
00:38:04.000 But it's a moral question.
00:38:06.000 And the answer is very clear.
00:38:08.000 What do you do when something good and beautiful is being destroyed in front of you?
00:38:14.000 Do you wait to the next election?
00:38:16.000 Do you write a press release?
00:38:17.000 Do you sit on your hands?
00:38:18.000 Do you go donate an urgent rush triple match alert to some Republican senator who does nothing?
00:38:24.000 Or do you act?
00:38:27.000 Do you storm the classroom?
00:38:29.000 Or do you wait for your captain to tell you to do that 77 minutes later?
00:38:32.000 I'm telling you right now, Republicans better get their act together.
00:38:36.000 They have no idea the game that's being happening all around them.
00:38:40.000 And you play a role in that.
00:38:41.000 You got to keep the pressure on.
00:38:42.000 And you know what?
00:38:43.000 Stop all of a sudden saying, well, I guess we have a good governor.
00:38:46.000 Defy the federal government.
00:38:48.000 Build the future you want to live in because they betrayed us.
00:38:51.000 It's time for us to build something meaningful.
