00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.
00:00:01.000 What is the great replacement?
00:00:03.000 Well, the left is pushing this theory, and yet they're saying we are.
00:00:06.000 It's very puzzling.

00:00:34.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
00:00:36.000 We go.
00:00:37.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:38.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:41.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:44.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:47.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:48.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:49.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:58.000 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.
00:01:06.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:09.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
00:01:12.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.
00:01:15.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:01:21.000 Keeping our eyes on the Pennsylvania Senate race, Dr. Oz, Trump endorsed, is up against Dave McCormick.
00:01:28.000 I spent some time with Dave McCormick and went to the southern border with him.
00:01:31.000 Really great guy.
00:01:32.000 I think highly of him.
00:01:33.000 We did not officially endorse in the race for many reasons.
00:01:36.000 I endorsed Sean Parnell early, and he dropped out and just kind of stayed out of this race, but it's very tight.
00:01:41.000 In fact, it's so tight, it's probably going to come down to just a couple hundred votes.
00:01:45.000 There's anywhere between 40 to 60,000 votes still outstanding.
00:01:48.000 They're doing the Pennsylvania thing where they kind of do the banana republic where they wait a couple weeks to count all the votes.
00:01:54.000 So we're going to keep our eyes peeled on the Pennsylvania Senate race, which will be very important, and a seat we must keep.
00:01:59.000 We must keep.
00:02:00.000 And we're going to kind of walk through this in the coming months together.
00:02:04.000 There will kind of be an open struggle that we're going to do together.
00:02:07.000 You know what that struggle is?
00:02:09.000 And hopefully Pennsylvania won't be one of them.
00:02:11.000 The struggle is going to be advocating and hoping that rhinos win, so Schumer is no longer leader and strong conservatives like Rand Paul, JD Vance, and Josh Hawley are on committees and no longer in the minority.
00:02:23.000 That's going to kind of be our struggle together the next couple months because I like you.
00:02:28.000 I'm pretty upset with Republicans.
00:02:30.000 I'm pretty upset with how Republicans send $40 billion to Ukraine, how they're willing to do deals with Biden.
00:02:35.000 At the same time, I think that the best of our party is not benefited by being in the minority.
00:02:43.000 And that's something that we're going to have to kind of jostle together.
00:02:46.000 And I'm going to make no, I'm going to make no mistake.
00:02:49.000 I'm going to make no kind of appearances or delusions of grandeur saying that everything's going to get fixed just because Republicans take back the Senate, the House.
00:02:58.000 But I could tell you right now that our studs that we're sending to the U.S. Senate, they need the majority back in more ways than one.
00:03:05.000 So I want to lead with kind of what is now the Democrats' new midterm strategy.
00:03:09.000 It's kind of happened the last couple of days, and it happened now as Joe Biden went to Buffalo, New York.
00:03:14.000 I'm just furious with this lie.
00:03:16.000 In fact, I was going back and forth with our team, Andrew and Connor, kind of prepping this show this morning, and I'm really angry.
00:03:25.000 I'm angry because this is not just a lie.
00:03:28.000 It is the opposite of the truth.
00:03:29.000 It's not just untrue.
00:03:31.000 It is the direct and complete polar 180 opposite of what's really happening.
00:03:34.000 It's all around this phrase that no one in conservative circles uses, by the way.
00:03:40.000 No one at a MAGA rally has ever used this phrase, the great replacement.
00:03:44.000 You know what it sounds like?
00:03:45.000 It sounds like what Jesse Smolette said when he lied and said that MAGA people attacked him.
00:03:51.000 He said, this is MAGA country.
00:03:53.000 That's how you think MAGA people talk if you actually never met a MAGA person.
00:03:57.000 And so all over cable news, and now the president of the United States, Joe Biden, is saying the Republican Party is all in on the great replacement theory.
00:04:07.000 Now, if you don't know what that is, that means you're a normal, everyday American.
00:04:11.000 If you talk to a normal, everyday conservative media figure, no one's heard of this.
00:04:16.000 No one talks about it.
00:04:17.000 In fact, in the most private moments of conservative intellectual circles, you'll find something.
00:04:23.000 Race means nothing.
00:04:26.000 Race is irrelevant.
00:04:27.000 On this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, we remain committed that race is irrelevant to the quality or the content of a human being.
00:04:35.000 It means absolutely nothing.
00:04:38.000 Now, Friedrich Nietzsche used to say that there always is a set of central pieties that a civilization or a country would have that you cannot cross.
00:04:48.000 Certain things you're not allowed to even mention, make fun of, or even get close to.
00:04:55.000 Now, for a while, that was the transgender issue.
00:04:58.000 And for a while, it's also the abortion issue.
00:05:01.000 Can't talk about it in decent and civilized society unless you're completely within the dogma of the left.
00:05:08.000 Now, the new one is you're not even allowed to say the obvious, which is it's actually the Democrats and the media that have been pushing this idea of the great replacement that no one on the center right ever actually talks about.
00:05:19.000 And they're trying to smear Tucker Carlson alongside of this, smear the entire Republican Party alongside of this, smear the multiracial, diverse, bottom-up grassroots populist movement, saying that, well, they all believe in this kind of the great replacement.
00:05:33.000 What exactly is the great replacement to the media?
00:05:35.000 You mean the thing that you guys keep on talking about, that you've been talking about on television for quite some time?
00:05:41.000 You see, here's how this works.
00:05:42.000 And again, this smear is so beyond what we are even used to dealing with when it comes to the media that this narrative is the opposite of the truth.
00:05:51.000 It's no way anchored to anything tethered to reality.
00:05:55.000 Nothing.
00:05:56.000 So here's the way it works.
00:05:57.000 The left talks about race all the time.
00:05:59.000 Race, race, race, race.
00:06:00.000 That's all they care about is race.
00:06:01.000 They care about things you cannot change versus things you can change.
00:06:05.000 They care about the content of your skin color, not the content of your character.
00:06:10.000 And this is something that we as conservatives push back on.
00:06:12.000 This is why we don't like CRT.
00:06:14.000 This is why we're trying to push forward with this idea of a colorblind meritocracy.
00:06:19.000 Instead, the left talks about demographics, demographics, demographics.
00:06:25.000 And we're always kind of bothered by this.
00:06:26.000 We say, well, we don't want to talk about this all the time.
00:06:29.000 So why are you so obsessed with it?
00:06:30.000 Here's just a montage of the left pushing forward the very same replacement theory that they now accuse Republicans of pushing forward, that they are saying is borderline terroristic and brings forth genocide.
00:06:44.000 Play cut 46.
00:06:47.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:06:49.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:06:50.000 Demographics is destiny, right?
00:06:52.000 The country is changing.
00:06:54.000 I've been saying it here.
00:06:55.000 Other people have been saying it here for years now, even before Donald Trump.
00:06:59.000 The demographics is destiny.
00:07:04.000 So the idea of the great replacement, which again, no one on the center right talks about because no one on the center right in America cares about race, only the left cares about race, is this idea that somehow there's this huge fixation on like white birth rates and somehow that is going to impact American politics.
00:07:22.000 Now, mind you, the reason they smear us for saying this is we say, wait a second, maybe you guys are actually advocating for loose immigration policies because you're bragging that somehow that will benefit you politically.
00:07:37.000 For example, when Julian Castro went on television and said that demographics in Texas by non-white population growth could flip Texas blue, we connect the two and say, oh, wow, you're bragging how demographics will actually be a benefit to the Democrat Party.
00:07:54.000 In fact, they're the ones pushing forward the great replacement theory.
00:07:58.000 All we simply are doing is connecting a public policy crisis with their own predictions and their own wishes.
00:08:05.000 Play Cut 47.
00:08:08.000 You'll be announcing that we're calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president.
00:08:14.000 It's changing.
00:08:15.000 It's going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth.
00:08:20.000 The growth in Texas has been almost entirely driven by non-white population growth, mostly by Hispanic and Latino population growth.
00:08:30.000 They are the ones that are continuously saying that they're going to use open border policy, that they're going to use loose green card policy as a way to make America less white and therefore more Democrat.
00:08:44.000 They say that, not us.
00:08:46.000 Now, they're connecting this to the horrific and terrible tragedy in Buffalo of the scumbag maniac who goes in and writes this barely coherent, what they're calling manifesto, saying that because of this theory, that's why he went and shot up the entire grocery store.
00:09:04.000 So we used to have a rule in American politics.
00:09:07.000 You know what that rule was?
00:09:08.000 That you cannot blame an entire political movement based on the stupid and evil actions of a minority.
00:09:16.000 For example, we did not blame Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders for the congressional baseball shooting, even though the guy that shot up the congressional baseball shooting did it to go target Republicans.
00:09:28.000 We said that's a bridge too far.
00:09:29.000 We don't do that.
00:09:32.000 And now Joe Biden and the entire narrative media complex is trying to accuse you of being some sort of white supremacist because you watch programs that literally take what the Democrats and their commentators and their masterminds say and compare it to public policy and somehow we're the problem.
00:09:52.000 You understand?
00:09:53.000 This is one of the great smears I've ever seen in my 10 years of doing this, ever.
00:09:58.000 We're not going to put up with it.
00:10:02.000 Look, over the years, you've probably tried difficult investments in stocks and mutual funds.
00:10:07.000 So you know they could be volatile and unpredictable.
00:10:09.000 But with inflation running at the highest rate of 40 years, do you want volatility and uncertainty?
00:10:14.000 Being able to sleep at night, knowing where your money actually is, it's worth its weight in gold.
00:10:19.000 And speaking of gold, if you've been jumping from one investment to the other, a gold IRA from Noble Gold might be perfect for you.
00:10:25.000 A reliable hedge against inflation just fell into our laps.
00:10:29.000 With gold, you shield yourself from gains and taxes.
00:10:32.000 You keep the real value of your wealth.
00:10:34.000 You'll own a global asset.
00:10:36.000 It's something tangible and protect your wealth against an economic crash.
00:10:39.000 I own gold and you should as well.
00:10:41.000 So what's not to like?
00:10:42.000 And this month, for every gold IRA above $20,000, you'll get an incredible three-ounce silver American virtue coin completely free as a thank you.

00:11:03.000 The media has been trying to smear this program, Tucker Carlson, and many others, for pushing the quote, great replacement.
00:11:08.000 When in reality, what's been happening is we play the sound of the left, where they say demographics is destiny, where they say that open borders is going to benefit the Democrat Party.
00:11:20.000 And we say, oh, maybe that's why they want poorest borders because they're saying it.
00:11:23.000 And guess what?
00:11:24.000 When someone tells me that's why they're doing something, I'm going to believe them.
00:11:28.000 And this is the great smear.
00:11:31.000 And we've got to stand up to it in every possible way.
00:11:33.000 Do not give an inch on this lie.
00:11:36.000 It is a falsehood.
00:11:36.000 It is full of deceit.
00:11:38.000 On this program, on Tucker's program, on any program on the center right in America, it is a constant repetition of a theme, which is race means nothing.
00:11:52.000 Racial politics is the worst of humanity.
00:11:55.000 It creates genocides, splinters based on skin color.
00:12:00.000 We want to get to a country, back to a country where that doesn't exist.
00:12:03.000 Where I grew up in Wheeling, Illinois, I went to Wheeling High School.
00:12:07.000 Dozens of different cultures and languages represented.
00:12:10.000 No exaggeration.
00:12:12.000 I was a minority as a white individual at Wheeling High School.
00:12:16.000 It was a majority English as a second language school, and no one cared about race.
00:12:22.000 10 years later, it's all anyone talks about.
00:12:25.000 We are recreating what can be fault lines for a civilization.
00:12:29.000 But so, what's so interesting about all this, though, is that the very predictions of the left, the very kind of repeated incantation that demographics is destiny, demographics is destiny, actually is not true for the racist Democrats that have been saying this this entire time.
00:12:47.000 Now, is this an excuse for mass immigration?
00:12:49.000 Of course not.
00:12:50.000 You understand one of the reasons why we don't like mass immigration is not because of skin color or melanin content, it's because of volume.
00:12:58.000 A country just doesn't have the infrastructure or the ability to be able to assimilate millions of people every single year and still have the commonality or the binds that tie people together, whether they're from Nicaragua, Mexico, South Africa, or Vietnam.
00:13:12.000 We believe in the rule of law, and we also believe that immigration should always be in the best benefit of the country when you have a lot of people unable to afford products, when you have a lot of people out of work, which we don't have unemployment problems right now, but we have before, or where you have overrun schools or battered on infrastructure.
00:13:29.000 The volume of people and the ability to assimilate them correctly, the prudent thing would be to like, let's slow that down.
00:13:34.000 In fact, let's grind it to a halt until we really know what we're dealing with here.
00:13:37.000 Yet the left immediately plays race into that where it does not exist in conservative circles.
00:13:45.000 I want to play another piece of tape here.
00:13:48.000 This is, they repeat it over and over again: montage of left-wing outlets, play cut 46.
00:13:55.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:13:57.000 Hilariously, it actually isn't.
00:13:59.000 Play cut 46.
00:14:00.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:14:02.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:14:04.000 Demographics is destiny, right?
00:14:05.000 The country is changing.
00:14:07.000 I've been saying it here.
00:14:08.000 Other people have been saying it here for years now, even before Donald Trump.
00:14:12.000 The demographics is destiny.
00:14:16.000 So they're the ones that are pushing.
00:14:17.000 That's the great replacement theory, whatever it is, which, by the way, the great replacement theory is only being pushed by left-wing intellectuals and media pundits.
00:14:25.000 But what's so hilarious is that the most conservative communities, the new conservative communities in America, are actually the very ones that they thought were going to automatically vote for them.
00:14:34.000 So a short clip here.
00:14:35.000 Professor Regelio Senez, he's a demographer at the University of Texas.
00:14:41.000 He's bragging on TV the country will be less white by 2045.
00:14:45.000 Play cut 42.
00:14:47.000 If the current trends continue, by 2045, the nation will be less than 50% white.
00:14:53.000 True?
00:14:53.000 Correct.
00:14:55.000 And yet, TexasMonthly.com, quote, Latinas are pushing the political revolution in South Texas to the right.
00:15:03.000 Axios, operatives see Democrats losing more and more ground among Hispanic voters.
00:15:08.000 New York Times, while Democrats debate Latinx, Latinos head to the GOP.
00:15:13.000 Oh, so now all of a sudden these open border policies aren't benefiting them as much as they would have thought previously.
00:15:19.000 Now, is that a reason that we as Republicans should advocate for open borders?
00:15:22.000 Of course not.
00:15:23.000 Absolutely not.
00:15:24.000 But it just so happens they overplay the card with BLM Incorporated and race politics, defunding the police, saying that there's no men and women.
00:15:31.000 When that's a pretty fundamental belief in most Hispanic circles that men and women exist.
00:15:36.000 This entire nonsensical woke regime that is being pushed by upper-middle-class white liberals, all of a sudden they don't understand why Mexican Nicaraguans and Hondurans, when they come to America, they're not as liberal as they would have expected them to be.
00:15:50.000 So, Joe Scarborough says, demographics is destiny.
00:15:52.000 That's an incredibly racist thing to say.
00:15:54.000 You're the great replacement person.
00:15:56.000 You know who you want to replace?
00:15:57.000 You thought that you could replace the Republican Party with third world voters.
00:16:01.000 You're wrong.
00:16:04.000 Look, everybody, I know you love freedom and you want to defend it.
00:16:07.000 And I know you love the Constitution.
00:16:09.000 It's a beautiful document, and so do I.
00:16:11.000 And it's the same with Hillsdale College, the best liberal arts college in America.

00:17:26.000 Senator Josh Hawley will be with us when he's done voting, which is more important than this, but he will be with us soon.
00:17:32.000 All right, we're waiting for Senator Josh Hawley.
00:17:34.000 Let's play another piece of tape here of how the left is now trying to use this as a way to brand Republicans as racists for criticizing Biden's open border policy, even though they're the ones that have been pushing the idea that the open border policy might actually benefit them.
00:17:49.000 Play Cut 57.
00:17:51.000 Take this replacement theory and now make it the Republican racist replacement theory.
00:17:56.000 Make every Republican answer, do you believe in it or not?
00:17:59.000 Brand every Republican, this is the party of the replacement theory.
00:18:03.000 Take what is a sliver, or I'm a real minority, but a minority, and make it the entire raison dante of the Republican Party.
00:18:11.000 Brand them on it.
00:18:11.000 Take a branding iron, put it on them so that any mainstream Republican has to wear that badge.
00:18:18.000 So there's a clip here.
00:18:19.000 It's about two minutes long to show how dishonest that is.
00:18:23.000 This is a two-minute montage.
00:18:25.000 It's worth playing.
00:18:26.000 It'll take your breath away of how the Democrats have been the ones that are pushing this replacement theory forward.
00:18:34.000 From comedians to Pelosi, they're the ones that talk about birth rates, like really strangely talk about it because they actually are so racist to believe that a person that doesn't have white skin color must automatically be a Democrat automatically.
00:18:48.000 Play Cut 64.
00:18:51.000 Or that the echoes of replacement theory and other racially motivated views are increasingly coming out into the open.
00:18:59.000 In a few years, we're going to be a majority brown country.
00:19:02.000 White people will not be the majority in the country anymore.
00:19:04.000 This will be the first generation ever in American history in which whites will be a minority of the generation at some point.
00:19:12.000 As of 2007, every year babies being born in this country, whites now are the minority.
00:19:18.000 In 2044, everyone is going to be a minority.
00:19:20.000 As the demographics change, as white people become the minority in the country, which is coming.
00:19:25.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:19:27.000 Demographics is destiny.
00:19:28.000 Demographics is destiny, right?
00:19:30.000 The country is changing.
00:19:32.000 I've been saying it here.
00:19:33.000 Other people have been saying it here for years now, even before Donald Trump.
00:19:37.000 The demographics is destiny.
00:19:39.000 The white population is declining for the first time in history in America, while the number of multiracial Americans have more than doubled.
00:19:47.000 So we live in a country where the demographics are changing.
00:19:49.000 Becoming less white.
00:19:51.000 Correct.
00:19:51.000 Okay.
00:19:51.000 You'll be announcing that we're calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president.
00:19:57.000 It's changing.
00:19:58.000 It's going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth.
00:20:04.000 The growth in Texas has been almost entirely driven by non-white population growth, mostly by Hispanic and Latino population growth.
00:20:12.000 The idea that whites will not be the majority, I mean, that's an exciting transformation of the country.
00:20:20.000 It's an exciting evolution and progress of our country in many different ways.
00:20:25.000 The white population is declining.
00:20:29.000 It was always on the upswing.
00:20:31.000 So that speaks to the beautiful diversity of America.
00:20:35.000 It speaks to how that population will, the demographics will weigh in politically.
00:20:42.000 I believe anybody who actors a replacement is to blame, not for this particular crime, but it's for no purpose.
00:20:50.000 No purpose except profit and/or political benefit.
00:20:55.000 And it's wrong.
00:20:56.000 It's just simply wrong.
00:20:59.000 It's pushing that very theory.
00:21:00.000 It's not Republicans, not conservatives, not people on this program.
00:21:03.000 We're the ones that are doing our best.
00:21:05.000 We're doing everything we can to prevent race politics from reigning supreme.
00:21:11.000 You go back to the politics of the tribe, it's reprehensible, and you do not know what's going to happen next.
00:21:17.000 Now, what's so interesting, and Douglas Murray talks about this in his phenomenal book, The War on the West.
00:21:24.000 And we had Douglas Murray on our program.
00:21:26.000 We're going to have him back on because there's so many more questions I have for him, which is that you have the majority population, the white population, which in a lot of different ways is the one that is actually saying that in the white liberal majority population, that this theory is happening.
00:21:48.000 And because they're so anti-racist, somehow that's going to benefit them.
00:21:54.000 This is a smear.
00:21:56.000 And they're trying to take Tucker Carlson off the airwaves.
00:21:58.000 They're trying to take this program down.
00:22:00.000 They're trying to take every single program down.
00:22:02.000 Joe Biden is now inferring that anybody that talks about this has blood on their hands, but never talking about Pelosi or Anderson Cooper or the Castro brothers.
00:22:12.000 We are rejecting the politics of race.
00:22:14.000 It's the worst of who we are as a people.
00:22:17.000 And for years, the left bragged about how demographics were going to be this inevitable benefit.
00:22:24.000 That no matter what, because of demographic changes, Joe Biden said it himself in 2015.
00:22:31.000 In 2015, Joe Biden came out and was bragging that how less white people means the Democrat Party is going to do better.
00:22:38.000 Play Cut 48.
00:22:42.000 See, there's a second thing in that black box.
00:22:44.000 An unrelenting stream of immigration.
00:22:48.000 Non-stop.
00:22:49.000 Non-stop.
00:22:52.000 Folks like me who are Caucasian of European descent, for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America.
00:23:03.000 Absolute minority.
00:23:05.000 Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock.
00:23:13.000 That's not a bad thing.
00:23:15.000 That's a source of our strength.
00:23:19.000 Yeah, it's a source of our strength.
00:23:20.000 So for Joe Biden to say it's not a bad thing, he's saying it's a political benefit.
00:23:24.000 It's a political benefit that we're going to have because of these open border policies.
00:23:28.000 They're the ones that are always talking about race all the time.
00:23:34.000 You got to wonder if there's kind of this like white guilt complex that is really kind of pushing a lot of that.
00:23:39.000 Shelby Steele talks a lot about that.
00:23:41.000 In fact, Patrice Cullers, the criminal that runs BLM, she actually came out and she said that the reason that Black Lives Matter got so much money is that it was, quote, white guilt money.
00:23:53.000 She came out and said it.
00:23:55.000 So this is now the new kind of focus of the left.
00:23:59.000 They look at this as a political opportunity.
00:24:01.000 You go to CNN.com, you go to any one of the websites they're leading with.
00:24:05.000 Who on the Republican side is pushing forward the great replacement theory?
00:24:10.000 They think they have this awesome opportunity for them to try to reverse the trend of inflation and gas prices and the fact that 75 to 80% of Americans now think America is actually heading in the wrong direction.
00:24:28.000 And I know a lot of you are looking at this and you say, wait a second, why does our media come into such harmony and unison to try to smear the other half of the country for something that's not just true, but it's the opposite of what is true.
00:24:47.000 And again, I just want to reinforce this.
00:24:49.000 The fastest growing group of Republicans in America are Hispanics, the very same people that the left told us they were counting on that was going to turn Texas into a blue state.
00:25:02.000 It's conceivable Texas gets more conservative in the coming years.
00:25:06.000 Let me say that again.
00:25:07.000 It's conceivable that the left who pushed this entire quote-unquote theory for years, they're the ones that pushed it.
00:25:14.000 It actually backfires on them tremendously.
00:25:16.000 Why?
00:25:17.000 It's because this was all engineered and masterminded by a minority of a minority of the population of white upper middle class liberals that live in their own echo chamber.
00:25:29.000 They don't understand that actually most people that work oil rigs in the Permian Basin are Hispanics.
00:25:34.000 They don't understand.
00:25:35.000 They don't understand that most border patrol agents are Hispanics, that Hispanics actually have a soft spot for law enforcement.
00:25:43.000 So they bragged about how demographics were this inevitable benefit.
00:25:48.000 And it's actually not that clear.
00:25:51.000 You see, when Donald Trump won the working class of our country, that yes, was predominantly white, but no one cared except the media, Democrats thought the only way they could offset that is to open up all the borders and all of a sudden change the demographics of the country.
00:26:06.000 That's their words, not my word, not some sort of conspiracy theory.
00:26:10.000 We just played two minutes of tape around that.
00:26:12.000 And it's turning out to actually do the opposite.
00:26:17.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:26:18.000 You've known it in your gut, and something just wasn't right about the 2020 election.
00:26:22.000 Well, guess what?
00:26:23.000 You were right.
00:26:24.000 And here's the proof you've been waiting for.
00:26:25.000 In Dinesh D'Souza's explosive new documentary, 2000 Mules, executive produced by Salem Media Group, you'll see jaw-dropping evidence of exactly how the Democrats pulled off the biggest heist in American history.
00:26:36.000 Drawn on meticulous research from the Election Integrity Group through the vote, 2000 Mules uses both cell phone geotracking data and video evidence to uncover a massive network of illegal ballot trafficking in all five key swing states.
00:26:48.000 Enough election fraud to change the outcome of the 2020 election.
00:26:52.000 Thousands across the country attended the national theatrical release.
00:26:55.000 Now you can watch from the comfort of your home, watch on any device with a web browser, gather friends, families, and skeptics alike, but don't miss it.
00:27:02.000 Go to SalemNow.com to watch it today.
00:27:04.000 See the movie that Donald Trump calls a real blockbuster.
00:27:07.000 Go to SalemNow.com to watch today.
00:27:09.000 That's SalemNow.com, executive produced by the Salem Media Group.
00:27:15.000 He was just voting, but with us right now is the phenomenal Senator Josh Hawley.
00:27:20.000 Senator, welcome to the program.
00:27:22.000 Really quick, thank you for your vote on the Ukraine vote.
00:27:24.000 Just tell me, just why'd you vote no on the Ukraine aid package and kind of give us an update on that?
00:27:31.000 Hey, Charlie, great to be with you.
00:27:32.000 Thank you for having me.
00:27:33.000 It's pretty easy when it comes to Ukraine.
00:27:34.000 This isn't national security.
00:27:36.000 This is nationbuilding at this point.
00:27:37.000 $40 billion?
00:27:39.000 I mean, $40 billion is what the whole Ukrainian government spent for their national budget a year or two ago.
00:27:44.000 $40 billion is three times more than all of the European nations have contributed to Ukraine combined.
00:27:52.000 So I just, I'm not in favor of nationbuilding.
00:27:55.000 We did that in Afghanistan.
00:27:56.000 Didn't work.
00:27:56.000 We did that in Iraq.
00:27:58.000 Didn't work.
00:27:58.000 We should be putting our national security interests first.
00:28:01.000 And I just don't think that this bill does that.
00:28:04.000 Yeah, that's well said.
00:28:05.000 And I mean, we have plenty of issues here in America, whether it be our porous open border baby formula shortage, that somehow Washington, D.C.'s top priority is to send $40 billion to a land, far-off distant land that funds this corrupt government just directly.
00:28:22.000 So, Senator, what's your takeaway from the primaries yesterday and what we've seen the last couple of weeks?
00:28:27.000 You and I were stumping for JD Vance.
00:28:29.000 He won convincingly.
00:28:30.000 What is it telling us about the future of the party and the nationalist populist agenda?
00:28:35.000 Well, I got to say that JD's victory is my favorite primary victory so far, Charlie.
00:28:40.000 And it was great to be out there with you on the trail.
00:28:43.000 And I just think JD is going to be tremendous.
00:28:44.000 And listen, I don't want to jinx him.
00:28:46.000 He's got to win in November.
00:28:47.000 But he is going to win in November, and he's going to be a great senator.
00:28:50.000 And I think that his victory in that primary is really emblematic of what's happening all over the country, which is that voters are saying loud and clear that they don't want the old Republican Party.
00:29:03.000 They want something different and new.
00:29:05.000 Namely, they want people who pay attention to them.
00:29:07.000 They want people who want to make America strong, who want to bring back jobs to this country, who care about working people and working families, who want to protect our culture and make it strong and keep our neighborhoods safe.
00:29:18.000 I mean, I really think it's about national strength and about the values and the culture of working people in this country.
00:29:26.000 And I think you see that reflected in JD.
00:29:28.000 So I know that Joe Biden now has taken to saying that this isn't your father's Republican Party.
00:29:32.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:29:33.000 Exactly.
00:29:34.000 And that's a good thing.
00:29:36.000 It's a good thing.
00:29:36.000 So Senator, I want to ask you about something that you've made some news with the last couple of days, which is you're going after Mickey Mouse and Disney.
00:29:43.000 You and I chatted about this briefly on the trail.
00:29:46.000 And it looks like you're now saying that, look, if Disney is not going to, let's say, be in alignment with just traditional and normal American values, should they lose their special carve-out copyright status?
00:29:59.000 Tell us your thoughts on this.
00:30:01.000 Well, I got to think that we should start, Charlie, by asking the question, why is any mega corporation, particularly one that's behaved like Disney has, but why are any of these people getting these kind of special handouts from government?
00:30:11.000 And we've seen this with the tech companies, by the way, for years, for years.
00:30:15.000 They have profited off this sweetheart deal with government that is worth billions of dollars to them.
00:30:21.000 And they've gotten to be huge monopoly platforms.
00:30:23.000 And now they try to crush free speech.
00:30:25.000 And we're seeing something similar with Disney.
00:30:26.000 They've gotten all these handouts from the federal government, not just state governments, the federal government, special copyright protections that is worth buku dollars to them.
00:30:34.000 And what are they doing with it?
00:30:35.000 They're saying they're against parental rights.
00:30:37.000 They're trying to punish states that adopt legislation that they don't like that protects parental rights and that protects children.
00:30:44.000 So my view is this.
00:30:45.000 If Disney's going to go woke and they want to be a political corporation, I mean, it's America.
00:30:49.000 They're welcome to do that.
00:30:50.000 But why should They get the benefit of taxpayer dollars.
00:30:53.000 And that's really what their special protections amount to.
00:30:56.000 They amount to taxpayer funding.
00:30:58.000 Why should they get that at any level of government, but especially from the federal government?
00:31:02.000 So, my bill, my legislation, would get rid of it.
00:31:04.000 It would get rid of their special protections.
00:31:06.000 It would go back to an even playing field.
00:31:09.000 And it would say that Disney doesn't get to be treated differently than anybody else.
00:31:12.000 And they certainly don't get to be rewarded for the kind of advocacy and political activism that they're engaged in.
00:31:20.000 It is a federal government loophole copyright gift to Disney that happened multiple decades ago, where they basically get in perpetuity protection of old movies like Cinderella and Snow White, so that other creators are not able then to even get close to the narrative of the story or be able to use the copy there.
00:31:40.000 And so, why should we use the power of the federal government to protect any sort of incumbent corporation?
00:31:45.000 This is stuff that Republicans should really be able to agree on very simply and plainly.
00:31:49.000 Senator, in closing here, just kind of what are you seeing as far as our chances to take the Senate back in November?
00:31:54.000 What are the other races you're looking at?
00:31:55.000 I know you made an endorsement in Arizona.
00:31:58.000 What are some of the other races where you see some really exciting young new candidates that will be able to be allies of yours in this upcoming session?
00:32:05.000 I've always got to start with my home state of Missouri because we do have a Senate race there, Charlie, and it's a Republican seat, but we've got to hold it.
00:32:10.000 I mean, there's no math that allows us to take back the Senate if we don't hold Missouri.
00:32:15.000 And I've endorsed a great candidate there, Vicki Hartzler, who I think is going to be a strong America first candidate.
00:32:20.000 And I think she's going to win.
00:32:21.000 We need her to win.
00:32:22.000 Beyond that, in Arizona, I think that is a critical race.
00:32:25.000 You've got Blake Masters out there.
00:32:26.000 I think that Blake is another guy who is much like JD.
00:32:30.000 I think that this is a guy who understands the moment we're in, who understands what it means to make America strong, what it means to protect our culture.
00:32:39.000 I think Blake will win that primary.
00:32:41.000 It's not till August, so he's got a way to go.
00:32:43.000 But I would keep my eye on Blake Masters out in Arizona.
00:32:47.000 And then, in terms of pickup opportunities, I think we've got a great chance to win in Arizona, to win in Georgia, to win in Nevada, to win in New Hampshire.
00:32:54.000 I mean, Charlie, we could pick up three, four seats in the United States Senate, and we should.
00:33:00.000 But here's the thing: it's not enough just to elect Republicans.
00:33:04.000 We've got to elect Republicans who know what time it is, who know what the score is, and who know what we need to do to protect this country, make it strong, and are willing to stand up to do it.
00:33:15.000 And I'm trying to do all I can to help those kinds of folks get elected.
00:33:19.000 Well, you've done a great job.
00:33:20.000 Senator Josh Hawley, thank you for joining us.
00:33:21.000 I just want to say you're one of the good guys.
00:33:23.000 You're one of the few fighters in D.C., and we've got to send more allies so that you can continue to fight.
00:33:28.000 If we take back the majority in November and sworn in in January, we got to have people with a mandate to fight.
00:33:33.000 God bless you, Senator.
00:33:34.000 Thank you so much for joining us.
