00:01:32.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:02:27.000 I want to get into the Arizona audit and kind of how the regime is handling that.
00:02:33.000 And then we are going to dive into deeper.
00:02:35.000 We're going to dive deeper into the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that is posturing against moms and dads that are showing up to school boards across the country just because they are engaging in wrongthink and wrong speech.
00:02:51.000 If you don't think that 1984 is here, you're not looking close enough.
00:02:55.000 It's actually closer to Animal Farm in some ways.
00:02:57.000 We'll do a whole Orwell summary.
00:03:00.000 We try to keep that narrative going because Orwell was right about a lot because he understood what happens when people get power absent an objective morality.
00:03:11.000 So we're going to get into that later in the hour.
00:03:13.000 And also, I want to talk about, if we have some time, because it's always time is a limited resource around here.
00:03:22.000 I want to talk about the debt ceiling if we can.
00:03:24.000 We might get into that in the next segment.
00:03:25.000 But first, I want to talk about the Arizona audit.
00:03:27.000 So the Arizona audit had come out and said that there were anywhere between 55,000 and 75,000 illegally administered votes in Arizona.
00:03:34.000 Phantom voters, duplicate voters, ghost voters.
00:03:36.000 And despite this, there has been this backlash from the media saying that, oh, there was no fraud at all whatsoever.
00:03:45.000 There was nothing at all to see.
00:03:46.000 Now, the audit does not say that.
00:03:48.000 And so in response to that, what is the regime's and the Democrats' way to handle the audit?
00:03:57.000 Now, they are doing an oversight committee to try to make sure that no more audits happen.
00:04:03.000 They want to make sure that this is the end of audits as we know it.
00:04:06.000 Now, why would they be doing a federal oversight committee hearing if they were not worried about more audits?
00:04:14.000 I thought the audit showed that Joe Biden won by more votes.
00:04:18.000 If the audit confirmed what they want, why are they now having a federal oversight committee on a state-run audit?
00:04:27.000 Do you notice they do not have federal oversight committees run by Democrats on the open borders on rising crime?
00:04:33.000 You know that murders are up 30% this year, since last year, since we decided to usher in this BLM-incorporated criminal justice view.
00:04:47.000 So, the committee says that they have concerns over the hiring of cyber ninjas to conduct the audit, saying, quote, the hearing will examine how, despite failing to find any fraud, cyber ninja's audit has already inflicted grave damage to our democracy.
00:05:02.000 Well, first of all, they did find illegally administered ballots.
00:05:06.000 And how does auditing the results have a grave damage to the democracy?
00:05:13.000 The audit has threatened the integrity of Arizona's elections, inspired similar hyper-partisan audits in other states.
00:05:20.000 That's the kicker, everybody.
00:05:22.000 The fact that there are more audits in other states and they're going to find out things that they do not want you to find out and been used to justify dangerous state election subversion laws.
00:05:36.000 Continues by saying, since then, significant questions have been raised regarding the dark money organizations funding the audit.
00:05:43.000 Hold on a second.
00:05:44.000 Dark money organizations funding the audit?
00:05:47.000 You want to talk about dark money?
00:05:49.000 How about the dark money that was funding the Zuckerberg drop boxes across the country?
00:05:54.000 The $400 million that was used to change the way we do elections in our country, to have mass mail-in voting, which is unconstitutional and illegal in nature from the Center for Technology and Civic Life, or the dark money that funded the Steele dossier, illegally used to spy on Donald Trump and his campaign.
00:06:16.000 They want to talk about dark money.
00:06:18.000 How about the hundreds of millions of dollars that is put through the Emerson Collective every single year from Lorene Powell Jobs to run attack ads against Republicans and conservatives?
00:06:28.000 They want to talk about dark money?
00:06:31.000 They are the master and the perfector of dark money.
00:06:35.000 They're the ones that use the dark money apparatus to make it seem as if multi-billionaire leftists are not the ones actually infiltrating and involving themselves in American elections.
00:06:50.000 So the great Andy Biggs has now hit back hard when he was confronted about accepting the audit that showed that Joe Biden won more.
00:06:59.000 That is not what the audit was.
00:07:01.000 There's a difference between a recount and an audit.
00:07:04.000 But I just want to make sure you all understand this.
00:07:07.000 That now you have Congress, the federal Congress, wasting their time about a state-based audit.
00:07:16.000 That's a violation of the constitutional plenary powers that are given to the states to be able to administer elections to their choosing and their liking.
00:07:29.000 Play tape of Andy Biggs.
00:07:32.000 Do you accept this audit, which showed that Joe Biden won and indeed by more votes than that is not what the audit concluded, Mr. Raskin?
00:07:40.000 You know better than that.
00:07:41.000 Who won the election in Arizona?
00:07:42.000 Donald Trump?
00:07:43.000 We don't know because as the audit, it demonstrates very clearly, Mr. Raskin, there are a lot of issues with this election that took place.
00:07:52.000 We're going to go through those today, but you can continue.
00:07:55.000 Speaking of the big lie, you could continue to perpetuate it as long as you want, but we're going to find out.
00:08:00.000 So he's going back and forth with Jamie Raskin, who's a very uniquely detestable person who serves in Congress, who is saying, well, do you accept that Joe Biden won Arizona according to the audit?
00:08:18.000 And Andy Biggs holds the line and says, that's not what this said.
00:08:22.000 We don't know because of the tens of thousands of illegally administered ballots.
00:08:26.000 And that's just Maricopa County.
00:08:29.000 That's not Arizona.
00:08:31.000 Arizona has several counties.
00:08:33.000 Now, Maricopa is by far the largest county in the beautiful state of Arizona, but it is not by any means the only county.
00:08:42.000 It doesn't count Pinal County, Coconino County, Pima County.
00:08:47.000 It certainly does not count where Tucson is, where, do you think Maricopa is bad?
00:08:52.000 What if you audited Tucson?
00:08:54.000 You're trying to tell me there was not shenanigans happening in Tucson, the Democrat stronghold of Tucson.
00:09:02.000 But this goes to show that the push for auditing our elections and our push for what was revealed in the Arizona audit has the Democrats so disoriented, so confused and so nervous that they are willing now to use federal oversight power in the United States Congress to go after Arizona's sovereign ability to be able to audit their own elections.
00:09:31.000 Every single state across the country should conduct their own audit.
00:09:36.000 Find out what you do right.
00:09:37.000 Find out what's going wrong.
00:09:39.000 Get to the bottom of how we do elections in our country.
00:09:43.000 It is the most important issue politically.
00:09:45.000 And isn't it interesting how so many Republicans are unwilling to comment on this issue?
00:09:51.000 So many Republicans want to sit idly by and say, oh, yeah, we'll go win the next election.
00:09:55.000 How are you going to go win the next election if you don't know how the elections are actually operating?
00:09:59.000 What happened in Georgia?
00:10:01.000 Well, now you have two Democrat senators, Raphael Warnock and John Ossif, thanks to the stellar combination of Kemp and Rothensberger, who signed a consent decree with Stacey Abrams privately and secretly while massively expanding mail and voting from 248,000 ballots in 2016 to well over 1.2 million ballots in 2021.
00:10:24.000 The Senate would be in Republican hands and the teenager John Ossif would not be a senator and the con man Raphael Warnock would not be a senator.
00:10:33.000 We will get rid of them both.
00:10:34.000 It will take some time.
00:10:38.000 That's what happens when you do not care about how elections are done.
00:10:42.000 And this is why Democrats are so nervous.
00:10:44.000 This is why they want to push HR1.
00:10:46.000 They want to push mass mail and voting because they know that if they can change the way we do elections permanently through the structures of elections, then they are going to be in power perpetually, just like they are in California, New Mexico, New York, Connecticut.
00:11:05.000 It is incumbent on patriotic, constitutional-loving Americans for us to do more audits and understand they would not be doing this hearing in Congress if it wasn't a threat to their power.
00:11:19.000 As you know, my friend Mike Lindell, lots of energy, has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.

00:12:47.000 It was so beautiful.
00:12:48.000 And in fact, I saw someone walking around with Giza dream sheets, and I was like, why are you walking around with Giza dream sheets?
00:12:55.000 And they said, look, don't judge me, but when I take my catnap at lunch, I need my Giza dream sheets.

00:13:20.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:13:22.000 The debt ceiling debate continues in Washington, D.C., where it seems like Senator Mitch McConnell has yielded to Schumer's demands.
00:13:36.000 McConnell caved, Elizabeth Warren told reporters.
00:13:40.000 And now we're going to be spending our time doing childcare, health care, and fighting climate change.
00:13:46.000 Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island said that Mitch folded and we have until December to do a build-back better, and we will.
00:13:58.000 Senator Tammy Baldwin told CNN that this is a temporary victory in the dispute.
00:14:06.000 McConnell said that Republicans would allow Democrat leaders to use normal procedures to pass the emergency debt limit extension.
00:14:15.000 The Kentucky senator said his offer would moot Democrats about the time crunch, created and give a unified Democrat government more than enough time to pass standalone debt limit legislation through reconciliation.
00:14:27.000 I'm reading from foxbusiness.com.
00:14:30.000 Why is Senator McConnell giving the Democrats what they want?
00:14:36.000 Why is Senator McConnell doing the lifting to lift the debt ceiling of a nation that we are already wildly in debt?
00:14:48.000 Now, we don't talk about this as much as we probably should, but we are a debtor nation.
00:14:56.000 I think that President Trump was one of the greatest presidents in modern American history and definitely the best of my lifetime.
00:15:03.000 But one of the problems, one of the issues that I had with some of the policies was how much money we borrowed.
00:15:13.000 Our U.S. national debt is $28.8 trillion.
00:15:19.000 The United States spends $6.8 trillion and we're thinking to spend another $4.7 trillion.
00:15:26.000 Our federal revenue, federal tax revenue, is $3.8 trillion, which makes our federal budget deficit just about $3 trillion that we are borrowing every single year.
00:15:37.000 So a deficit is your annual.
00:15:42.000 The debt is the cumulative.
00:15:46.000 So what is the U.S. total debt if you count the unfunded liabilities?
00:15:51.000 Over $84 trillion.
00:15:54.000 And so who are the ones that actually own our debt?
00:15:57.000 Well, China owns trillions of dollars of our debt.
00:16:02.000 And we've gone into great detail in years past of how the debt and the national debt is a national security threat.
00:16:11.000 Borrowing today is taxation tomorrow.
00:16:14.000 Borrowing today is borrowing from your children to eventually have an inflated currency.
00:16:18.000 And one of the reasons why Biden wants to engage in an inflation debt cycle is that when you inflate the currency, all of a sudden the debt becomes worth less.
00:16:30.000 So it goes down.
00:16:31.000 The debt is not as much if all of a sudden the dollar is worth 10% less and the amount that you borrowed last year, you're actually playing with house money.
00:16:40.000 Because then your dollar is not worth as much, but you have more dollars.
00:16:43.000 But the debt limit or the amount you borrowed on your home or corporately did not change.
00:16:52.000 You look at the national debt figures.
00:16:56.000 In 1980, our U.S. federal debt to GDP ratio was 34.67%.
00:17:03.000 In 2000, it was 56%.
00:17:06.000 And today, it's 125%.
00:17:10.000 We are borrowing more money than we are actually worth.
00:17:15.000 Now, one of the few leverage points that Republicans have is the debt ceiling.
00:17:21.000 To possibly get anything, something out of the cartel Democrats to be able to get them to agree to secure the southern border, to not have the IRS monitor your transactions.
00:17:36.000 But Senator McConnell, according to Democrats, has caved.
00:17:41.000 And for what reason, I don't exactly know.
00:17:45.000 But I want to talk to a member of Congress who is standing against raising the debt ceiling, that is trying to do everything they possibly can to try to rally the troops to not have Republicans raise the debt ceiling.
00:17:59.000 We are going to have Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green walk through in great detail what's happening in Congress and what you can do to call the Senate switchboard to try to say no to raising the debt ceiling.
00:18:14.000 Right now, Republicans have a unique opportunity where the Democrats need us.
00:18:19.000 They have shown that they do not want what's best for our country.
00:18:24.000 Why would we give them the opportunity to continue to cripple our nation?
00:18:31.000 Charlie Kirk here, and I've warned you about home title theft, where cyber thieves remove you from your home's title and become the owner.
00:18:38.000 I said you better get home title lock because it's coming.
00:18:40.000 Well, if you're on Facebook, that big breach is here.
00:18:42.000 Facebook had 500 million accounts exposed to cyber thieves.
00:18:46.000 And according to a retired FBI cyber crime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was leaked.
00:18:52.000 Name, address, personal information, it's out there.
00:18:54.000 The thief forges your signature on a quit claim deed stating you sold your home to him.
00:18:58.000 He'll leave you in debt or he'll even have you evicted.
00:19:01.000 Do what I did and protect your home's title with home title lock.
00:19:04.000 Go to hometitalock.com and register your address to see if you're already a victim.
00:19:08.000 Then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.
00:19:12.000 Then sign up for 30 free days of protection.
00:19:13.000 Again, home titlelock.com.
00:19:15.000 That's home titlelock.com.
00:19:19.000 The debt ceiling debate is front and center right now in Washington, D.C.
00:19:25.000 And with us is Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who is calling for everyone to do what they can to try and tell the Senate not to raise the debt limit.
00:19:36.000 Congresswoman, are you there?
00:19:37.000 Yes.
00:19:37.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:19:38.000 Thanks for having me on your show.
00:19:40.000 You just, you sent out a tweet saying everyone needs to call the Senate switchboard.
00:19:40.000 You bet.
00:19:44.000 Let's take a step back.
00:19:45.000 Walk us through the significance of this and the latest when it comes to the fights happening in Washington, D.C.
00:19:52.000 Okay, well, just to break it down, everyone needs to understand that the Democrats are working very hard to pass two bills, the infrastructure bill, which is almost $1.2 trillion, and the budget, which they had it at $3.5 trillion.
00:20:07.000 Then they took it up to $4.3 trillion.
00:20:10.000 And that's when Manchin and Cinema and the Senate said, no, we will not vote for this.
00:20:15.000 It's too much money.
00:20:16.000 But here's what you all need to know about both of these bills.
00:20:19.000 The infrastructure bill is not about paving roads or building bridges.
00:20:23.000 It's really about socialism.
00:20:25.000 As a matter of fact, almost it's about around 6% of the infrastructure bill only goes towards real infrastructure, roads and bridges.
00:20:34.000 The rest of it is full-on socialism with big programs and even $7.5 billion that will build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations all over the country because they want to force America on electric vehicles, which will force us to be energy independent or energy dependent, I'm sorry, on China.
00:20:54.000 And then the budget, the budget is even worse.
00:20:57.000 The budget is full passage of the Green New Deal and more socialism.
00:21:02.000 These will be programs we'll never be able to undo, and it will fully wreck our economy and hurt Americans and the future generations.
00:21:10.000 But here's what's happening: the progressives are fighting hard with Nancy Pelosi because they want both bills passed at the same time.
00:21:19.000 And so there's a lot of negotiating going back and forth.
00:21:21.000 Manchin and Sinema are not the good guys in this story.
00:21:24.000 They're just fighting about the price tag of the bills, not what's in them.
00:21:29.000 So here's why I'm telling everyone to call Mitch McConnell and all the Republicans in the Senate.
00:21:35.000 You guys have to put huge pressure on them because you need to tell them to vote no to raising the debt ceiling.
00:21:42.000 This is what they're actually negotiating today on the Senate floor is raising the debt ceiling, which is another $480 billion in spending.
00:21:50.000 It buys two months, two months to keep the government open, to keep everything running.
00:21:55.000 It gives them two months for Democrats to have the stress taken off of them where they can keep negotiating with each other and figure out how to pass the infrastructure and the debt bills.
00:22:06.000 But this is such a bad play on Mitch McConnell and any Republican in the Senate that are actually going to vote to raise the debt ceiling.
00:22:14.000 What they need to be doing is they need to say no at every turn to Democrats and not help them pass the agenda.
00:22:21.000 Don't help Joe Biden.
00:22:22.000 Joe Biden, he needs to be impeached.
00:22:24.000 And so Republicans need to hold the line, stay firm and vote no.
00:22:28.000 So I launched out a tweet.
00:22:30.000 It was a big thread this morning, early this morning, attacking Mitch McConnell for working with Schumer and holding hands with him to make deals with Democrats and hurting Republicans all over the country because it's the constant compromise compromise coming from Republicans giving in to Democrats that has got us where we are today.
00:22:51.000 And we need Republicans to be strong and to be fighters and hold the line and don't help Democrats.
00:22:56.000 And then I started posting more on social media and tweeting, tweeting out the phone number to Mitch McConnell's office, tweeting out the phone number to the Senate switchboard, and phone calls streamed in from all over the country, shutting down Mitch McConnell's phone lines, shutting down his voicemail because people are so angry about this.
00:23:17.000 But here's what we have to do.
00:23:18.000 We have to tell every single Republican senator, there's 50 of them, we have to tell them that they need to vote no to stop playing along with Democrats because it just wasn't too long ago that 19 Republican senators caved.
00:23:32.000 And that's why this whole debate is happening.
00:23:34.000 They helped make the infrastructure bill.
00:23:36.000 It was 19 Republican senators that did that.
00:23:40.000 And now Mitch McConnell is about to do it again and help pass Joe Biden's so-called build back agenda.
00:23:47.000 And we have to stop it, Charlie.
00:23:48.000 So McConnell is saying that he's doing this because he wants, he's worried about breaking the filibuster or something or breaking the Senate.
00:23:58.000 What's your take on that?
00:24:00.000 Is that an excuse or what do you think?
00:24:04.000 Well, here's what he's doing is he wants to sound like he's being rational, right?
00:24:09.000 Mitch McConnell wants to act like he's being the grownup in the room and raising the debt ceiling just for two more months so that everything can keep going.
00:24:18.000 Because what the Democrats are doing is they're about to crash the government.
00:24:23.000 They're about to crash our economy with their reckless spending and their out of control agenda.
00:24:29.000 And we need to allow the Democrats to do that.
00:24:32.000 Let them do everything wrong and Republicans shouldn't play along with it.
00:24:36.000 But Mitch McConnell is making a grave mistake by letting them have two months extra time to continue to negotiate between the squad with, you know, Pramala Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, AOC, going in and talking to Biden at the White House.
00:24:54.000 They just had a meeting the other day where they're negotiating back and forth about what the budget, the numbers need to look like so they can get Manchin and Sinema to vote for it, because it's all about the numbers for Manchin and Cinema.
00:25:07.000 It's not about what's contained in the bills.
00:25:10.000 And so Mitch McConnell is failing us again by caving in and working with Schumer to make this happen.
00:25:17.000 Yeah, it seems that, according to McConnell, he's saying that everything's about protecting the filibuster, but it doesn't seem that Manchin and Cinema would be willing to break the filibuster.
00:25:30.000 And so I don't really quite understand the logic that McConnell is bringing here.
00:25:33.000 Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Republicans have leverage here.
00:25:36.000 If every Republican held the line, the Democrats would then have to go to dramatic levels.
00:25:41.000 Is that right?
00:25:43.000 Yes, that's right.
00:25:44.000 So in the Senate right now, for everyone that's listening, there's 50 Republican senators and there's 50 Democrat senators.
00:25:52.000 And then the vice president is one deciding vote.
00:25:56.000 So the Senate is just so tight with 50-50.
00:26:00.000 But with the filibuster in place, which we need to keep there, it takes 60 votes to pass the bill.
00:26:06.000 And so I'm glad you brought that up.
00:26:08.000 Mitch McConnell right now is looking for 10 Republican votes so that he can help Schumer get this across the line today.
00:26:15.000 They want to vote on it today.
00:26:16.000 And that's why I've been telling everyone to call.
00:26:19.000 So he's out whipping up 10 Republican votes.
00:26:22.000 And remember, Mitch McConnell is very powerful in the Senate.
00:26:26.000 And these weak Republican senators listen to him.
00:26:29.000 And that's another problem.
00:26:30.000 They need to stop caving to Mitch McConnell because Mitch McConnell is the one selling out Republicans across the country.
00:26:37.000 And then in the House, just for your listeners to understand, there's 435 members of Congress.
00:26:44.000 Republicans hold the thinnest minority in decades.
00:26:48.000 As a matter of fact, right now, we're only down by four votes.
00:26:52.000 And we can defeat Democrat bills just by voting together as a solid block.
00:26:57.000 If the GOP conference stays together and we hold a hard no, like for example, on infrastructure and the budget, sometimes we can honestly defeat these bills because all the Democrats don't vote for every single bill.
00:27:10.000 A lot of times there'll be several of them that stay out and the progressives are so radical.
00:27:15.000 They fight Nancy Pelosi all the time and they'll sit bills out too.
00:27:20.000 And so we can win in the House if we hold together and stay strong.
00:27:25.000 But it's these weak Republicans are the problem, the ones that will vote yes just because they might have an amendment in a bill when the rest of the bill is full on poison or they vote yes because they have some kind of special project for their district or an earmark, but the rest of the bill is full poison.
00:27:43.000 Republicans need to learn to work harder and smarter and vote together as a block and vote no.
00:27:49.000 So can you just go just talk a little bit more about the details of these bills, how disastrous they would be for the American way of life and for what we all love?
00:28:01.000 Talk about in the, you talked a little about the bipartisan infrastructure package.
00:28:06.000 Talk about what's also in the build back better plan that you actually read this and what's in it.
00:28:14.000 All right, there's crazy stuff in there.
00:28:16.000 I'll give you some of the examples that blow your mind.
00:28:19.000 $25 million for butterflies, $25 million for desert fish, $25 million for plants in Hawaii.
00:28:30.000 So that's some of the ridiculous stuff.
00:28:32.000 Here's a big, big, gigantic piece of corruption.
00:28:36.000 Nancy Pelosi, in her district, she has a so-called national park called Presidio Park.
00:28:42.000 Presidio Park is not a national park where you would go hiking.
00:28:45.000 Presidio Park overlooks the Bay in San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge.
00:28:50.000 It's some of the most expensive real estate in the United States of America.
00:28:54.000 It also has big, elite, very successful companies like Facebook has been there, Disney.
00:29:01.000 It has private schools with over $50,000 a year tuition.
00:29:05.000 It has massive homes that are the kind of houses that I know most of us don't have, at least I don't.
00:29:11.000 And I know you don't either.
00:29:13.000 Big, big, big homes worth millions and millions of dollars.
00:29:17.000 And Presidio Park, Nancy Pelosi's pet project that she launched in 1996, because remember, she's like a dinosaur.
00:29:24.000 She's been there forever.
00:29:25.000 It has a trust.
00:29:27.000 So she puts American taxpayer dollars in a trust.
00:29:30.000 And the trust for Presidio Park currently has $403 million in it.
00:29:36.000 And in this bill, Nancy Pelosi has an earmark for $200 more million dollars of taxpayer dollars to go into her Presidio Park because she has to keep that park as beautiful as possible for all of her rich Democrat donors.
00:29:51.000 And by the way, it's her Democrat donors that sit on the board and manage the trust for Presidio Park.
00:29:56.000 So that's the kind of corruption that the government is funding.
00:30:00.000 And that's with the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
00:30:03.000 But the scariest part for everyone listening that you need to really understand is the Green New Deal.
00:30:09.000 Climate change is a religion for these people.
00:30:12.000 We all know the climate has been changing since God created the earth and it will continue to change.
00:30:18.000 And there's no amount of taxes and no government on this earth that can affect that or stop climate change or make it change any different.
00:30:26.000 It's under God's control and that's the way it should be.
00:30:30.000 But here's something you all need to know.
00:30:32.000 They use the climate change lie to say that we have to change the way America does energy.
00:30:38.000 And in these bills, they're going to force every single American to have to drive an electric vehicle.
00:30:45.000 Well, I think a lot of electric vehicles are pretty cool and there's nothing wrong with them.
00:30:49.000 But here's what's wrong is our government dictating how our economy runs with private businesses.
00:30:56.000 And the biggest problem is, is America cannot compete in the electric vehicle market.
00:31:01.000 I know you say, well, but what about like all these American car companies that have elect that offer electric vehicles?
00:31:07.000 Yes, they do, but we don't control the battery market.
00:31:10.000 And it's the electric vehicle batteries that run these cars.
00:31:14.000 China controls the electric vehicle battery market, not by a little bit, Charlie, by over 84%.
00:31:22.000 And America does not compete.
00:31:23.000 We're less than 10% of the electric vehicle battery market.
00:31:28.000 And so by simply the government taking this socialist approach and forcing our economy, forcing all Americans to have to drive an electric vehicle, they're putting us on our knees to China.
00:31:40.000 And it's something that we will never be able to come out of.
00:31:44.000 In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.
00:31:47.000 I totally get it.
00:31:48.000 At least it used to be.
00:31:49.000 At thinker.org, T-H-I-N-K-R.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:31:59.000 Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, from old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
00:32:08.000 I can tell you, thinker has helped me understand big ideas very quickly and quite enjoyably.
00:32:15.000 So if you want to challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org.
00:32:21.000 That's T-H-I-N-K-R.org to start a free trial.
00:32:25.000 Again, that's thinker.org slash Charlie, T-H-I-N-K-R.org.
00:32:32.000 Congresswoman, can you just walk through for our listeners in the couple minutes you have remaining?
00:32:36.000 You were just a businesswoman, a regular person.
00:32:38.000 You went to Congress.
00:32:39.000 How broken is Washington, D.C.?
00:32:42.000 How corrupt is it?
00:32:44.000 Just tell us from a normal person's eyes.
00:32:48.000 It is the, it's like a business that should be out of business.
00:32:52.000 It's so corrupt and broken.
00:32:55.000 I'm constantly shocked.
00:32:57.000 And it's hard for me to even feel shocked anymore.
00:32:59.000 But every time I go there, I see another failure.
00:33:02.000 Every single department in the government is completely mismanaged.
00:33:08.000 They will fund programs with millions and billions of dollars, and then they mismanage every single penny.
00:33:16.000 So you know how it is.
00:33:18.000 It's like going into a restaurant and trying to order food and the waiter or waitress never shows up at the table.
00:33:24.000 And then they finally come and they say, what do you want?
00:33:27.000 And then you order your meal and then you wait and you wait and you wait and the food never shows up.
00:33:32.000 Yeah, that's the government.
00:33:33.000 That is exactly how it is.
00:33:34.000 And I hate to use a restaurant as an example because most restaurants are so great and that's why they're successful because regular Americans running businesses every single day and working very hard know how to do their jobs far better than people in the government.
00:33:51.000 And I'm embarrassed by our federal government.
00:33:54.000 I think it's a complete joke.
00:33:56.000 I think it's a disaster.
00:33:57.000 And those people couldn't do the everyday Americans job.
00:34:02.000 They couldn't even do your job.
00:34:03.000 They couldn't do anyone else's job because they're just, they don't know how to perform and they don't know how to manage money.
00:34:10.000 But right now, I think what bothers me the most, Charlie, is the way they have turned so far left in the past eight months.
00:34:18.000 And we're seeing actual communism.
00:34:20.000 We're seeing the DOJ and the FBI be weaponized and targeting patriotic Americans, people that voted for President Trump, people that donated to President Trump, parents that are trying to rein in the schools that their tax dollars pay for.
00:34:36.000 And they have every right to show up at the school board meetings and demand how they want their children treated and taught.
00:34:43.000 Let me ask you in the two minutes we have remaining here, talk to me about Republicans in Congress.
00:34:49.000 Are most of them fighting?
00:34:52.000 Are some of them playing a different tune to their voters than what they actually do in Congress?
00:34:58.000 Well, Charlie, that was Republicans not fighting is really what led me to run for Congress.
00:35:03.000 You see, we know who the Democrats are because they tell us every day.
00:35:07.000 They brag about the socialist programs they want.
00:35:10.000 They brag about BLM and Antifa riots that burned our cities and caused so much destruction, billions and damage.
00:35:17.000 They brag about defunding the police.
00:35:19.000 They brag about open borders and they're calling Afghanistan a success.
00:35:23.000 And we still have Americans stranded over there and 13 dead soldiers.
00:35:27.000 And we are in the Taliban.
00:35:29.000 So we know who the Democrats are, but it's Republicans that talk and walk like us on Fox News and on the TV every day and on the campaign trail.
00:35:37.000 But when they get in Congress, they don't follow through with their actions.
00:35:40.000 And it was the two years under President Trump's first four-year term that upset me the most when they didn't repeal Obamacare.
00:35:49.000 They didn't defund Planned Parenthood.
00:35:51.000 They funded it.
00:35:52.000 They didn't build the wall.
00:35:53.000 They couldn't even fund the wall.
00:35:54.000 And they failed the American people and they failed President Trump.
00:35:58.000 And it was those Republicans that upset me so much.
00:36:00.000 And that's why I ran for Congress.
00:36:02.000 And so while I think we have some great Republicans in there, we have some that are fighting and working hard to do the right thing, but we have many Republicans that just don't do a damn thing, Charlie.
00:36:13.000 And I'm so sick and tired of it.
00:36:15.000 And it makes me so angry that I'm willing to call them out.
00:36:17.000 I'm willing to spend money out of my leadership pack attacking them like I did with the infrastructure bill last week, running ads in their district, running ads on News Mac and Macs and saying that I'll primary any Republican that votes for the infrastructure bill because I would consider that them being a traitor to Republican voters and to the American people.
00:36:36.000 And it's those Republicans that disappoint me the most and make me so angry because I don't understand why if they're going to help the Democrats get their agenda done, if they're going to help the Democrats destroy our country, I don't know why they put an R by their name.
00:36:50.000 Well, I agree.
00:36:51.000 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you for joining us.
00:36:53.000 I just want to share the phone number for the Senate switchboard, 202-224-3121.
00:36:59.000 If you want to contact the Senate about the raising of the debt ceiling, and that's Senator McConnell's number, I believe, for the main switchboard.
00:37:08.000 Thank you so much, Congresswoman.
00:37:09.000 Appreciate it.
00:37:10.000 We'll talk to you soon.
