00:01:20.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:54.000Now, we've gone into great detail why energy, without having to overcomplicate it, is what moves a civilization.
00:02:01.000The civilization or the country that uses technology the most efficiently wins.
00:02:06.000If you're able to move the most amount of stuff, expending the least amount of energy or in the cheapest way possible, you are able to progress.
00:02:14.000You're able to build hospitals and schools, very basic, standardized things.
00:02:18.000Now, of course, we've decided not to teach students this anymore.
00:02:22.000So we have our entire government staffed with people that think energy just comes out of the air and we can extract it simply from solar panels and wind farms, and we could beat the Russians that way.
00:02:32.000Well, now the cost of movement is more expensive than almost any other time in our lifetime.
00:02:39.000We are seeing the price of oil now go up upwards of $120 near $130 a barrel.
00:02:47.000In fact, one report is showing that gas is now over $7 a gallon in Los Angeles.
00:02:54.000At some local gas stations, they're way above the average.
00:02:57.000Well, across the street from the Beverly Center, one of the most expensive places in LA, drivers are paying this: nearly $7 for regular unleaded, nearly $8 for premium.
00:03:07.000Drivers said they were surprised and not in a good way.
00:03:11.000And it will only continue to go up from there.
00:03:13.000It's going to cost $150, $170 to fill up your tank of gas.
00:03:18.000It literally costs more to go from one place to the other.
00:03:22.000This is an interesting way to lock down a country by other means.
00:03:27.000You can now force people to stay at home because they can't afford to actually go out of their home.
00:03:32.000And unfortunately, it's only going to go up.
00:03:34.000It's probably going to go to $8 or $9 a barrel.
00:04:33.000I interviewed him again in the spring.
00:04:35.000He was pleading with the United States and the Germans to shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
00:04:40.000I'm old enough to remember being told by the U.S. and the Germans it couldn't be done, that it was already completed, that it was essential so that the U.S. and the Germans could cooperate on climate change.
00:04:50.000And we've learned in the last two weeks, oh, actually, it could be done.
00:04:55.000And these are competing priorities running headlong into each other.
00:05:00.000Now, we could be the sole provider of LNG for all of Europe, but we have chose not to be.
00:05:05.000Instead, the morons that run the State Department and the rocket scientists that run our government, they have decided that somehow, if the oil and natural gas is extracted from Russia, different planet, I suppose, and climate change will be neutralized.
00:05:19.000No, this is all about engaging in the very same promises of the Great Reset to weaken the American economy, to break the back of the fabric of the American entrepreneur.
00:05:31.000Now that it's more expensive to get to point A to point B, your food will be more expensive, more expensive to go to point A to point B, less people will take vacations.
00:05:39.000And by the way, this spike in oil is before the summer driving season.
00:05:44.000This is before the summer travel rush.
00:05:48.000Expect eight, nine, potentially $10 a gallon.
00:05:51.000Not to mention your airline ticket from New York to LA could get to $700, $800, $900, $1,000.
00:05:59.000It means average families are going to have to go into debt just to move.
00:06:03.000It means consumer debt is going to increase dramatically.
00:06:05.000Now, of course, the great reset billionaire class, they'll be unaffected.
00:06:09.000The $100 to fill up a tank of gas or $200 to fill up a tank of gas, it doesn't mean anything to them.
00:06:15.000People that are raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, literally, could not care less about what an average person is paying at the pump.
00:06:24.000Now, of course, this is something that is affecting people of all races, all backgrounds, but especially the muscular class.
00:06:30.000It's especially impacting people that work with their hands, that are sole proprietors, proprietors, especially people that go from point A to point B to work, carpenters.
00:06:41.000Well, there's electricians, people that have to pay for their own movement.
00:06:52.000The choice that they're making is that they value the promises of the utopian green energy environmentalists more than the livelihood of their citizens.
00:07:04.000Our government right now and your pocketbook is controlled by green energy environmentalists.
00:07:43.000Now, of course, wrapped in this is a ridiculous belief of earth worship and a quasi-pagan religious philosophy that values the alleged beauty and aesthetic of nature, even though oil and natural gas development does nothing to that over the livelihood of human beings.
00:08:05.000Remember Cut 18, Energy Secretary Granholm called solar panels and wind turbines, quote, potentially the greatest peace plan that ever existed.
00:08:14.000Obviously, high energy prices have been putting a strain on households on both sides of the Atlantic.
00:08:21.000Europe, you have seen prices go through the roof.
00:08:25.000Of course, tensions between Russia and Ukraine pose threats to the energy security of...
00:08:31.000This is not just an energy and climate issue.
00:08:36.000It also is potentially the greatest peace plan that ever existed.
00:08:42.000Now, it's hard to believe people like her are taken seriously, but she's an academic.
00:08:46.000And we are living under the tyranny of academics that have never actually worked at their hands.
00:08:50.000They've never actually been into the weeds of any sort of economic process.
00:08:56.000Instead, Biden being a prisoner of people like her and the Sierra Club, we have been captured by the dreams, the utopian promises of things that will never actually be accomplished.
00:09:09.000And make no mistake, when you send your child to college, they are taught this nonsense.
00:09:14.000They're taught the garbage that fracking somehow pollutes the drinking water.
00:09:19.000They're taught that we're going to run out of fuel in 10 years.
00:09:24.000And so when you send a generation of young people to college and universities and they believe these falsehoods, the deceit of the environmentalists, do not be surprised that after five years, 10 years, when they start to staff the government, all of a sudden they are ruled simply and solely by ideology.
00:09:47.000Our entire government, no different than the Iranian hostage situation, is being held hostage at gunpoint by the green activists, the Sierra Club types, the Greenpeace types.
00:10:00.000And they're loving this because they believe that this will only usher in the continued transition to break the back of the evil of fossil fuels.
00:10:10.000And because of that, it's going to be harder for you to move around.
00:10:16.000With all the noise surrounding the topics of money and the economy, today more than ever before, you need a financial guide that you can trust.
00:10:24.000That's why I trust PAX Financial Group.
00:10:27.000Not only do they share my conservative values, they are committed to putting your interests ahead of their own.
00:10:33.000Big Wall Street firms are forcing their political agendas into your investments.
00:10:37.000And it's time to stop giving your money to companies that don't share your values or use their profits, my profits, as a way to silence Christians.
00:10:46.000PAX is proud to offer an alternative called BRIs, Biblical Responsible Investing.
00:10:53.000Look, I got to know the people behind PAX Financial at a pro-life dinner in San Antonio.
00:10:59.000I got to know them, and they told me about biblical responsible investing.
00:11:02.000And at first, I wasn't really sure what to make of it.
00:11:05.000But as I got to know the team behind PAX Financial, we agreed to partner with them here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:11:10.000Biblical responsible investing supports and promotes our values of being pro-family and pro-life and screens out companies that support pornography or anti-Christian or anti-conservative.
00:11:22.000If you have $150,000 or more in investments, text them, Charlie, at number 74868.
00:11:30.000Text them, just Charlie, right now to number 74868.
00:11:35.000They'll be able to schedule a 15-minute free no-obligation consultation.
00:11:39.000I'm moving some of my money over to PAX Financial.
00:11:41.000And honestly, I hope they do well with it with some of the returns.
00:11:45.000But I'm happy that part of my portfolio will be able to go towards biblical responsible investing.
00:11:52.000I think they're going to crush it for me in the market, but I'll be able to know that my hard-earned dollars are not going towards pornography, anti-Christian, pro-BLM nonsense.
00:12:02.000You'll be connected with a financial advisor who will walk this through with you.
00:12:23.000Brought to you by PAX Financial Group PAX.
00:12:28.000I want you to think about how sinister you must be to want to hurt people so that you could have a desired potential utopian objective on the backside.
00:12:39.000Well, that's exactly what this regime is doing.
00:12:43.000The Biden regime is telling the people of America: look, we understand that you might have to go into debt.
00:12:52.000We understand you're going to have to spend money you don't have.
00:12:54.000We understand this might break the back of your business, but don't you understand how beautiful it will be?
00:12:59.000Because then we can usher in solar panels on cars and we could just be happier thanks to that.
00:13:07.000Now, I'm all for innovation in the space of trying to have renewable energy.
00:13:11.000But isn't it interesting how they're not able to convince us to use renewable energy without actually having to break fossil fuels first?
00:13:18.000That by definition is not a natural transformation.
00:13:24.000They want to get to, what, 2040 or 2050 carbon-neutral emissions or whatever, zero net emissions, or whatever nonsense that they're publishing.
00:13:34.000They truly believe that the industrial economy, powered by natural gas, fuel, and nuclear power, by the way, they never want to talk about nuclear power.
00:13:43.000That just shows the fraud that they are.
00:13:45.000They believe that it's so bad for the aesthetic of the environment.
00:13:50.000It's so bad for nature that they must crush human beings being able to flourish so that they can achieve some sort of abstract, distant, hard to define ideological agenda.
00:14:42.000If you're a Republican who didn't care about ballot harvesting and now you're complaining about high energy prices, you're complicit in this.
00:14:51.000All of this created a tornado of green energy activism, where now the same way that the Iranians held hostages, when Jimmy Carter was president, the green energy czars are holding hostages in the White House.
00:15:09.000Joe Biden is being presented with all the options to bring down gas prices.
00:15:14.000Add this to his mounting political liabilities of open borders, the Afghanistan debacle, what's happening in Russia and Ukraine, double-digit inflation, and many other issues.
00:15:25.000People can't even afford to fill up a gallon of gas, $7 a gallon.
00:15:29.000And what does Biden have to say for it?
00:15:31.000Even if he was trying to be a magnanimous president, which he isn't, he's an ideological Woodrow Wilson type.
00:15:38.000He's an ideological Lyndon Baines-Johnson FDR type.
00:15:42.000If you were to sit in his house in Delaware and they'd lay out all the options, every single option that would actually be meaningful, every single option that would actually make a difference in lowering gas prices, every single one of them, he's not able to do.
00:15:59.000Because his puppet masters, the people that are actually holding him hostage, the people he's a prisoner of, say no.
00:17:19.000And let's just say one, we're going to reiterate what we said on a prior show.
00:17:23.000It is proven that Russia, the Russian government, funds all of these sorts of activities and groups.
00:17:29.000It's in the Russian government's interest to have a strong green energy infrastructure here in America to try to prevent our own energy dominance.
00:17:41.000The Sierra Club brags right here, how many oil and natural gas plants that they have closed, how many coal plants they've retired.
00:17:52.000Being an entrepreneur and running a business is not for the faint of heart.
00:17:55.000I do the Charlie Kirk show till noon, then Turning Point USA till I go to sleep and all the problems in between.
00:18:01.000330 days on the road I spent last year.
00:18:04.000But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable.
00:18:13.000That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily.
00:18:16.000About 75% of people are magnesium deficient.
00:18:18.000That number might be higher among business owners and seed level professionals.
00:18:22.000That's because stress depletes magnesium levels.
00:18:25.000This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency.
00:18:29.000This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy.
00:18:34.000It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep.
00:18:37.000Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things?
00:18:42.000In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body.
00:18:46.000So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient.
00:18:48.000The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines.
00:19:00.000But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium.
00:19:04.000Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms.
00:19:10.000There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium.
00:19:12.000You must get all of them if you want to experience its calming stress-relieving effects.
00:19:16.000That's why I recommend magnesium breakthrough from Buy Optimizers.
00:19:20.000It's the only full organic, full spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium for stress relief and better sleep all in one bottle.
00:19:28.000Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels.
00:19:33.000And how much more rest did you feel when you wake up?

00:19:55.000He's a prisoner of many different groups.
00:19:57.000He's a prisoner of the teacher unions.
00:19:58.000He's a prisoner of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson ⁇ Johnson.
00:20:02.000Every decision that this administration makes is because of an order given by a group that either helped get him into office, that helped implement him into office, or that is currently giving him cover fire or is a backbone of the Democrat regime.
00:20:21.000Well, let's read what one of his, let's say, wardens believe in, because he's a prisoner of somebody.
00:20:56.000The term net zero is also being exploited by governments and corporations who are using it as smokescreen to keep burning fossil fuels via a loophole called carbon offset credits.
00:21:08.000So instead, they want real zero, not net zero.
00:21:14.000The only way out of the climate crisis is to get to net zero.
00:21:17.000Real zero equals net zero minus offsets.
00:21:21.000It means reducing and stopping all carbon emissions before they are put into the atmosphere.
00:21:30.000It means full speed ahead to a transformation of our energy and transport systems to 100% renewable sources.
00:22:11.000Investigate Russia's covert funding of U.S. anti-fossil fuel groups.
00:22:16.000Makes you wonder how successful the green energy groups would have been the last couple years if our government actually spent time investigating legitimate Russian collusion instead of whether or not Donald Trump had any sort of ties to the Russian Kremlin, which of course he didn't.
00:22:43.000Russia decided to put millions of dollars, which is a rounding error given the billions of dollars a day that the energy sector basically helps fund in Russia towards green energy activists that sole that really needed the support here domestically.
00:23:06.000Now, of course, the way that they're spinning it, for example, you go to this website inside Climate News of all the environmentalists that hold our White House hostage, they say, quote, whatever his motives are, Putin's war in Ukraine is fueled by oil and gas.
00:23:21.000The U.S. oil industry is hoping to fill the immediate void with increased oil and gas exports while the EU moves in the longer term to replace Russian gas with renewable energy.
00:23:33.000Basically, this article is saying, hey, we shouldn't allow American oil and natural gas to capitalize on the fact that Putin is using oil and natural gas to capitalize on us.
00:23:54.000Drill more, open up more U.S. land to drilling.
00:23:58.000What's the administration's response to that idea?
00:24:03.000Well, look, the president has laid out and taken a number of steps, including addressing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
00:24:10.000Let's also be clear that we are in the middle of a long-term transformation that is already fast underway, especially when it comes to vehicles.
00:24:19.000So, this idea of a transformation that you must try to move forward is Hegelian in nature.
00:24:25.000It is a German historicist philosophy that came from the 1800s that largely influenced Karl Marx, by the way.
00:24:33.000That there might be messiness along the way, that there's a thesis and an antithesis, and they have to mash together and they create a synthesis.
00:24:44.000Basically, it is the way that they view history.
00:24:47.000That, for example, this is how Vladimir Lenin justified killing millions of people, Stalin as well.
00:24:53.000That these are all just rounding statistical errors towards the betterment, the ushering in of heaven on earth.
00:25:00.000This is how Pete Buttigieg justifies, whether he consciously realizes it or not, but he's been trained in this idea of progress.
00:25:07.000You see, if you always look at the imagery or you look at the pictures of the Maoists, we can get a picture of this from Mao Sedong's Cultural Revolution.
00:25:16.000They always have the picture of the head tilted up, the chin to the sky, and the eyes to the corner of the picture.
00:26:01.000These are the people, by the way, that are holding your president hostage.
00:26:04.000They're the people that have taken over the White House.
00:26:08.000Young Voices for the Planet, Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, Wild Earth Guardians, the Water Keeper Alliance, Up to Us, U.S. Climate Plan, the Canary Coalition, the Seeds for the Soul, the Safe Climate Campaign, San Antonio 350, the PowerShift Network, Movement Rights, the Leonardo Caprio Foundation.
00:26:37.000We're going to list all of them on charliekirk.com because it's important you guys know actually who are the organizations that are financing the fact that you might have to go into debt to send your kids to be able to drive your kids to school.
00:26:50.000What are the organizations that are making Vladimir Putin rich?
00:26:54.000What I'm trying to make the point is that there is a sophisticated, well-funded, sometimes foreign-funded infrastructure that is making all of this pain and suffering happen.
00:27:17.000It says, we are standing up to the fossil fuel industry to stop all new coal, oil and gas projects, and build a clean energy future for all.
00:27:27.000This is the way that they spin the Putin thing.
00:27:30.000They say Putin's war highlights the dangers of fossil fuel dependency.
00:28:15.000Because Trump understood very simply, you don't have to overthink this.
00:28:20.000You do not have to have the degree from Yale in North African lesbian poetry or you don't have to have some degree in fossil fuel transformation studies or sciences from Stanford to say, huh, energy is how you move things.
00:28:39.000And if we can move things, products, goods, services, people, ideas, more efficiently, then that's going to make the tyrants and the despots less powerful.
00:28:52.000Kamala Harris has said, quote, our transportation sector has reached a turning point to make a transition on energy.
00:30:02.000Now, before you think that I'm just kind of quoting from some sort of obscure 350 website, here's the New Yorker, quote, we know how to end all of this by hastening the transition to renewable energy sources, creating a clean electrical grid, and using electricity to heat homes and offices and to power transparency.
00:30:36.000It says here, Joe Biden's, this is the New Yorker, Build Back Better plan, which Senator Manchin shot down at the end of last year, contained proposals to do these things.
00:30:45.000Last year, Manchin told Politico that he was open to smaller spending bills focused on prescription drugs, tax reform, and climate.
00:30:53.000We as conservatives believe some very fundamental things.
00:31:04.000We believe that humanity will not be brought through some sort of transformational process, as Pete Budejej has said, just because we create tension, conflict, chaos, and disarray.
00:31:17.000You see, the other side, the leftists, they actually believe that if they can create disarray, that that will then be the genesis of something better and perfect coming out of it.
00:31:32.000We believe that the entrance into chaos for chaos' sake will not create anything better.
00:31:38.000In fact, it could descend you further and further into hell.
00:31:42.000Okay, so let's get to some more sound here.
00:31:59.000Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the American people as well.
00:32:04.000Last month, we announced a $5 billion investment to build out a nationwide electric vehicle charging network so the people from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV.
00:32:18.000So let me ask you, Pete Butjej, and by the way, that Kamala Harris tape that we played was from today.
00:32:35.000The point is the whole regime cannot even do what is right by the American people because 350.org, the Sierra Club, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, I could go through the whole list.
00:32:57.000The Climate Justice Project aims to provide accessible discussions of the justice-related issues that underpin an effective response to climate change.
00:33:04.000I know many of you have never heard of these groups.
00:33:38.000A civil society equity review on an equitable global phase-out of fossil fuels.
00:33:44.000You might ask yourself the question, you know, as I list off the over 400 groups that signed this letter, who's funding all these groups?
00:33:53.000Well, the Russian government has funded these groups.
00:33:55.000Russian oligarchs have funded these groups.
00:33:57.000And also celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and billionaires like Tom Steyer that really have no deep understanding or an appreciation of how modern civilization came to be or how it can continue to be civilization, not some sort of despotic surf kingdom of people that are fighting and clamoring over their chance to drive an electric car and they get one flight a year as mandated by the government because we do not have the energy to be able to have a vibrant society.
00:34:26.000By definition, what you are seeing happening is not a transition.
00:34:35.000It's not some sort of tension that will usher in a better tomorrow.
00:34:39.000You're actually witnessing regression, which is what's so interesting about this because with technology, we're always promised better results.
