00:01:22.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:02.000Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gives the thumbs up as he leaves the Senate chamber after passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:02:09.000Senate Democrats, after weeks of negotiations to revive the core of their election year agenda, passed a spending bill which would attempt to tackle climate change, the high cost of prescription drugs, and lower the deficit by roughly $300 billion.
00:02:26.000So let's go through actually what's in the bill.
00:02:28.000This NPR does a pretty poor job of detailing it, but we'll dance around with this.
00:02:32.000But let's start with this idea of climate change.
00:02:36.000I have to say, whoever came up with the branding around climate change is brilliant.
00:02:45.000It's an unbelievably brilliant strategy.
00:03:09.000You see, climate change is so brilliantly duplicitous, and it's a scheme to make people afraid, but they'll never actually get to the end point.
00:03:20.000So no matter how much you spend, there might be somebody with a fossil fuel somewhere in Midland, Texas who need to spend another $100 billion to go find them.
00:03:27.000You see, if they completely change the economy into a green economy, destroying our energy supremacy, by the way, which is one of the most civilizational, suicidal things that we could possibly do, they'll just then create a surveillance state to find out if someone still is using fossil fuels or natural gas.
00:03:45.000Even though natural gas we have in abundance and is the most environmentally friendly, lowest emission energy source that we have, that is in the carbon fossil fuel category.
00:03:58.000There are two ways to control a civilization.
00:04:01.000Tyrants always use these two ways to control people: fear and free stuff.
00:04:10.000Those are the two ways tyrants control their citizens or their subjects because they're trying to erode citizenship and they're trying to create a country of subjects.
00:04:23.000Climate change accomplishes both of them by making you in a state of fear the same way that they had the emergency use authorization and the emergency fear porn.
00:06:06.000Are we still treating, we're still trusting the experts and treating the experts as if they know what they're talking about?
00:06:13.000The expert class, as we call it on this program, has been wrong about everything.
00:06:20.000They've been imprecise about the most basic and fundamental truths, deceitful in their self-dealing.
00:06:29.000The portion of the bill, NPR writes, takes on transportation and electricity generation.
00:06:34.000It includes $60 billion for growing renewable energy infrastructure and manufacturing, like solar panels and wind turbines.
00:06:42.000The bill would, according to Democrats, lower greenhouse gas emissions by 40% based on 2005 levels by the end of the decade.
00:06:49.000Quote, it puts us within a close enough distance that further executive action, state and local government efforts and private sector leadership could plausibly get across the finish line by 2030, but it won't.
00:07:04.000Climate change engages in the Hegelian dialectic of we're never there till we reach utopia.
00:07:12.000That's what's so brilliant about the messaging around climate change is that as soon as you think you're there, they say, oh no, we need another $100 trillion.
00:07:27.000There's now a $6.5 billion tax on natural gas production.
00:07:31.000One of the most insane things someone could do is tax the asset that you have the most of, that is also the cleanest that the rest of the world wishes they had.
00:07:42.00016.4 cents per barrel tax on crude oil and imported petroleum products.
00:07:49.000It also raises taxes on corporations, otherwise known as small businesses.
00:07:54.000The bill includes a 15% minimum tax on large corporations, argues it will be passed on ATR Americans for tax reform, argues it will be passed on to consumers.
00:08:06.000Raises taxes on medium-sized businesses.
00:08:10.000It extends a limit on loss deductions for pass-through businesses, S-corporations and sole proprietorships for two years.
00:08:19.000There's an indirect tax on pensions through taxing stock buybacks.
00:08:24.000There's also a tax on pharmaceuticals unless they accept price caps.
00:08:29.000And of course, the kicker of it all, this bill, as we mentioned last week and tried to warn, adds $80 billion to the IRS's budget and 87,000 new staff members to the Internal Revenue Service.
00:08:56.000That makes the IRS larger than the FBI, Border Patrol, and the State Department combined.
00:09:04.000That's what happened over this last weekend.
00:09:07.000And remarkably, Democrats in tough Senate races like Mark Kelly and Raphael Warnock, they don't care.
00:09:15.000They voted for it because they know that they're still going to get over $100 million in Democrat cash as the Democrats are now representing the white wealthy party.
00:09:25.000Republicans are getting outspent in almost every race across the country because the values of wokeism are most consistent with miserable, wealthy white people that live in Malibu and Manhattan and they want to spread their misery imperialistically upon the rest of us.
00:09:46.000The IRS adds $87 billion to their budget.
00:09:55.000Look, we talk about current events a lot on this show, but there's other things that are in life that are bigger than current events, bigger things.
00:10:01.000We try to do some shows every so often on these things.
00:10:04.000But look, what am I talking about when I say that?
00:10:08.000Prayer and the Bible or heaven and hell?
00:10:10.000So look, the great C.S. Lewis, who's one of the most amazing minds ever to exist, was a master at addressing these questions.
00:10:19.000And that is why Hillsdale College, the great college, the only college, in my opinion, wants you to learn more about him and his writings in their newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.
00:10:31.000And it all starts with taking a short quiz to find out how much you already know about Lewis.
00:10:37.000He wrote more than the Narnia series, by the way.
00:11:32.000At Turning Point USA and at Turning Point Action, when we find a student and we train them up and we educate them, we look at them as a potential activist, a worker, someone that can make meaningful change for the freedom movement.
00:11:48.000So at Turning Point USA, we increase our ranks by education, by hiring staff.
00:11:53.000We just had an amazing new hiring class.
00:11:56.000We have Turning Point USA High School, Turning Point USA College.
00:12:02.000How do the Democrats increase their ranks?
00:12:06.000The Democrats increase their ranks by hiring IRS agents.
00:12:11.000We increase our movement by persuasion and energy, voluntary exchange of ideas, by getting into the grassroots, starting high school chapters, starting college chapters.
00:12:23.000The left, they pass a multi-hundred billion dollar spending bill to get more IRS agents on the payroll.
00:12:32.000Their ranks increase, their power increases, the more the IRS is able to get dominion over your life.
00:12:57.000He said, can you understand how 87,000 new IRS agents would scare the heck out of millions of Americans?
00:13:09.000Senator Cardin responds to it, but before I play this tape, remember, Democrats are not afraid of new IRS agents because they look at themselves as exempt from the wrath of the regime.
00:14:09.000Can you understand how 87,000 new IRS agents would scare the heck out of millions of Americans?
00:14:15.000Millions of Americans aren't going to be impacted by that other than getting better service from the IRS, having their telephone answer, getting the questions they need in order to comply with our tax laws.
00:14:26.000The auditing is going to be focused on those of high income, the large corporations, et cetera.
00:15:08.000Because, of course, you show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
00:15:11.000So tell me, Senator Cardin from Delaware, for the couple thousand email testimonials we received last week from people that were abused by the IRS, and please feel free to keep emailing them to me, by the way, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:15:25.000When the IRS is wrong, who pays the penalty?
00:16:05.000Yes, the climate change thing is there.
00:16:07.000But the real sneaky part is the 87,000 IRS agents that they want in every corner, every restaurant, every small business, they want to create a blitzkrieg of audits against people that they consider and deem to be a threat.
00:16:26.000That's what Mark Kelly just voted for.
00:16:28.000That's what Raphael Warnock just voted for.
00:16:30.000That's what Cortez Mastro just voted for.
00:16:33.000Their big bet is that they can get you to bend the knee if you get an audit notice from the IRS.
00:16:39.000But this needs to be a message to D.C.
00:17:35.000They're the nation's largest preparedness company, and their four-week food kit contains enough meals for one person for nearly a month with 2,000 calories a day.
00:17:45.000Get one kit for each person in your family.
00:17:47.000There's no limit to how many you can order.
00:17:48.000Just make sure you have this food and you need it, which could be soon.
00:19:00.000You know, he was a great inspiration, but we hope to take it one step up.
00:19:05.000Ron Paul, who had his entire presidential campaign around money and currency, is a great warrior and a brave man.
00:19:14.000I'm not a libertarian, but I understand that the administrative state, and particularly the global apparatus, is funded by these central banks, and it's outrageous.
00:19:22.000The evidence today is so much even more overwhelming than when Ron Paul laid it out for us.
00:19:27.000From 2008 to right now, Charlie, what the $23 trillion they've printed, the $9.5 trillion they put on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, has just increased the power and concentration of wealth in our nation.
00:19:40.0000.5% of the American population own more assets and wealth than the bottom 90%.
00:19:50.000This is exactly what the Framers fought a revolution to avoid.
00:19:55.000They wanted to get away from the landed aristocracy in Great Britain and the mercantile class in Great Britain.
00:20:04.000What we have is a combination of state capitalism and authoritarian government fueled by just free money that they print, and it's on the backs of our children and grandchildren.
00:20:49.000They've made hundreds of billions of dollars of profits off this, of just being a middleman with no work.
00:20:55.000That needs to be repatriated back to the American people.
00:20:58.000And I hate to use the reparations word, but we can actually go back and we can point specifically to where each dollar was created by the Federal Reserve and how it flowed through the system to specific hedge funds.
00:21:11.000I think you got to have, I think the next step in ending the Fed has also got to be the reparations to the American people.
00:21:17.000We have to, this is not income redistribution.
00:21:20.000This is asset reallocation, not income redistribution.
00:21:57.000But that generation, it breaks my heart to see that generation.
00:22:02.000Maureen went down with Jane Zirkle, and she just told me, Dad, the energy is incredible.
00:22:07.000The one you had in Florida, and I know you had this great one at Phoenix.
00:22:10.000And I look at that generation and where we have Lao Baijing, the great Chinese common man who is enslaved labor to the CCP and therefore to the world's economic system, you have bondage.
00:22:24.000The Judeo-Christian West youth is in nothing but bondage to these central banks.
00:22:29.000You're nothing more than a Russian serf.
00:22:31.000We've fought for 12 or 13 generations in this country, all these patriots, everything we've accomplished.
00:22:36.000And our generation, the generation that goes to turning point, is in financial and debt slavery and financial bondage to central banks that are printing obligations that they're going to have to pay off and basically stripping their chance for wealth, just like a Russian serf, up to the elites.
00:22:54.000I'm the farthest thing from a communist.
00:22:55.000I'm a capitalist, but we're going to infuse real capitalism, entrepreneurial capitalism, not financial capitalism, entrepreneurial capitalism into this system.
00:23:03.000We're going to break the Federal Reserve.
00:23:05.000We're going to take away the ownership by the 24 prime brokers that made all the money.
00:23:09.000It's the greatest scam and con in the country.
00:23:15.000To deconstruct the administrative state, we have to take away the funding mechanism and to, quite frankly, get economic nationalism and to get our America first.
00:23:22.000The three lines of work, the central beating heart of how the apparatus funds is they have a central bank that can just print money on the backs of the deplorables and their children, and they get the what I do love about it, though, Steve, is that this is actually how we build a broad-based coalition.
00:23:41.000A lot of libertarians will just like be standing in applause with you.
00:23:44.000I'm not a libertarian, nor are you, but the deterioration of our currency and the money supply over the last couple decades has been intentional.
00:23:54.000And so, let me ask you a question here, Steve.
00:23:56.000Hold on, hold on, hold on, Charlie, Charlie.
00:23:58.000This is where I think we get 50% of the Bernie bros.
00:24:02.000I think they join us because we say, hey, look, we disagree on a lot of stuff.
00:24:05.000We disagree on a lot of cultural stuff.
00:24:07.000We even agree about a lot of fiscal stuff.
00:24:09.000But on the monetary stuff, here's what we're trying to do.
00:24:12.000From the founding of the nation until the beginning of the Federal Reserve, the essential politics of the country was the politics of money.
00:24:23.000But the Hamilton debates with Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and the charter of the First and Second Bank of the United States, really Abraham Lincoln and the economic nationalism of Abraham Lincoln and Henry Clay.
00:24:35.000Then later, the rise of William Jennings Bryan, you had every aspect of from the liberal to the right, all focused on the politics of money.
00:24:44.000This is one of the reasons that the Wall Street crowd wanted to stop it.
00:25:07.000And by the way, we will bring in half of, just like we have half of the Hispanics and we've got half of the African-American men for our economic policies and our law and order policies and our family policies.
00:25:18.000We're going to take half of the Bernie bros, half of the libertarians, you know, all of MAGA, America first.
00:25:25.000We're going to say, hey, look, let's all fight to get control of the money, control of the money printing apparatus of which we'll stop down.
00:25:33.000Well, and with new technology, Bitcoin, I think people are finally liberated from prior kind of monetary frameworks.
00:25:40.000As William Jennings Bryan said, you will not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
00:25:45.000It was his rallying cry, the populist movement that deemed actually to be unsuccessful.
00:25:50.000So, Steve, let me ask you, though, some people 65 plus, they get a little nervous when you start talking like this.
00:25:55.000I could say it, for example, in our audience.
00:25:58.000They just, they don't necessarily agree that there has been a mass generational theft of young people.
00:27:18.000And so I think the understanding of the 65-plus crowd will actually be, I think many of these will actually be at the forefront of this revolution.
00:27:26.000Yeah, I mean, the necessary steps to become a middle-class American are so out of reach for the younger generation, buying a home, getting married, having children.
00:27:38.000In fact, we have people here in our own orbit at Turning Point.
00:29:28.000First off, the commission that was set, the commission and the house that did it referred criminal, I think 200 criminal referrals to the Justice Department.
00:29:39.000I think there was a real estate appraiser in Las Vegas and maybe in Miami, some real estate appraisers, super grandoons that got in there.
00:29:51.000NPR had the NPR had their lead story last week was, Charlie, believe it, the most unknown institution that has the most power, like it's some secret about the Fed.
00:30:17.000But he saw what we are now living through, which is the intentional, multi-generational, century-long deterioration of purchasing power for regular everyday Americans and the kind of calcification of Wall Street's dominance over our life.
00:30:30.000Steve, we got an email, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:30:32.000Charlie, I wanted you to tell Steve, I'm pregnant and due in November, and we're naming our child Bannon.
00:30:45.000We talked a little bit about this on our live stream.
00:30:48.000There is this kind of subterranean movement that the media is totally miscategorizing, I think, intentionally, that seems to be taking over the Republican Party.
00:30:56.000My fear, though, is establishment moderates are actually cheering, in fact, even worse, helping Democrats in states like Arizona or even Georgia to try to see.
00:31:12.000I think your analysis the other night, I listened to, I don't know when somebody got it to me, but about Arizona is absolutely the heart of the beast.
00:31:18.000I mean, I think we look, we won in a coalition in 16, right?
00:31:23.000We do have to, we do have to unite, and people have to understand, particularly the establishment, we've got the momentum, and we're going to bring in more voters than they could ever bring in, okay?
00:31:33.000Those that want to be with us, and they're going to have to make some, obviously, some big concessions.
00:31:48.000We can't spend a trillion dollars on national defense.
00:31:51.000But I think when they look at the alternative, and this is why I see the shattering, and I see the shattering of the Democratic Party into this populist, this progressive green left-wing movement with the squad and this kind of centrist, neoliberal neocon, and then the ascendant MAGA.
00:32:06.000But we shouldn't make any compromises at all.
00:32:09.000And I got to tell you, Charlie, when I look at things like Turning Point, when I look at CPAC, when I look out there, and the candidates were having more African Americans, more Hispanics, right?
00:33:05.000And that's why Arizona in November, your analysis the other day of the issues with the issues with the establishment out there.
00:33:13.000Remember, the Republican establishment are a little bit throughout the country, but particularly Arizona is like the Bourbons before the French Revolution.
00:33:21.000They've learned nothing and they've forgotten nothing.
00:33:24.000So somehow we have to have a couple of peacemakers sit down and say, hey, look, we're not changing our policies, but get on this because this is a winning, this program is a winning program.
00:33:34.000Lead follower, get out of the way, as Patton would say.
00:33:36.000When I talk to establishment Republicans every so often, their eyes glaze over when we talk about these sorts of topics.
00:33:42.000Either they don't want to understand it or they're so afraid of it.
00:33:45.000How do we navigate that or we just win, baby, as Ray Davis would say from the Oakland Raiders and say, look, you could get the cheap seats if you want, but this train isn't stopping.
00:34:09.000We have to, look, the energy at Turning Point, the energy at CPAC, the energy of the cadres in the Vanguard is as high as I've ever seen it, higher than 2010, higher than really the 16 Trump campaign, higher than 2010, the Tea Party.
00:34:58.000Boy, I'm just geeking out at the end, the Fed topic.
00:35:01.000One of my favorite topics is talking about monetary policy and the unelected, largely unknown for the American people, private-public partnership that manipulates our money and deteriorates your purchasing power.
00:35:13.000Ron Paul, God bless him, literally wrote a book called End the Fed.
00:35:16.000I think he wrote it back in 05 or 06 or 07.
