00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk Show, Senator Josh Hawley joins us.
00:00:04.000We go through how Chicago and America has changed from the moment Barack Obama won the presidency on a cold night in November in 2008, 15 years later.
00:00:15.000What does America and Chicago look like now?

00:00:27.000Get involved with Turning PointUSA today at tpusa.com.
00:00:50.000His 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.
00:00:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:39.000I saw the change of the great city of Chicago.
00:01:42.000And Chicago really is in the news right now.
00:01:44.000Where hundreds of black youth this last weekend stormed the streets, targeted white people, pillaged and plundered and looted, unrestrained, unregulated, unchecked violence.
00:03:55.000But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.
00:03:59.000What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.
00:04:06.000This victory alone is not the change we seek.
00:04:09.000It is only the chance for us to make that change.
00:04:13.000And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
00:04:17.000It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
00:04:24.000That was roughly hundreds of thousands of people that came from all over the Chicagoland area to Millennium Park on election night, where Barack Obama was announced the president of the United States.
00:04:35.000It was an overwhelming, it had a religious revival component.
00:04:39.000You almost felt like this was political Billy Graham.
00:04:56.000But Obama actually had a different agenda all along and he hoodwinked the good people of Chicago and Illinois.
00:05:03.000People were quasi-messianic about Barack Obama, but I want to tie all this together because we've lived through the Obama era.
00:05:09.000And I don't have to convince you who Obama is, how Obama is a bitter Marxist who doesn't love America and he surrounded himself with people that feel the same way.
00:05:16.000Remember, Obama's vice president is now the president.
00:05:20.000And so in a direct line of leadership, the person now running the country comes straight from that same cabal of criminals.
00:05:29.000But just feet away, because I ran the address.
00:05:32.000Literally just a couple hundred yards away.
00:05:36.000When he cast that vision, the same place, the same neighborhood where 15 years ago Obama promised a post-racial reconciliation, a post-racial America, promised racial reconciliation.
00:06:41.000That is hundreds of black youth just right there, Millennium Park, right there is where Obama gave a speech.
00:06:47.000And now the new mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, says, look, all the targeting white people, the looting, the crime, the burning, not the burning of cars, but the destruction of cars.
00:06:56.000It's just like kids playing in a home.
00:07:00.000New mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, justifies this.
00:08:07.000And the media is saying, oh, well, you know, the story is that the woman was pushed out of the way to try to get to her innocent black boyfriend or something of this sense.
00:08:19.000And Lori Lightfoot, the outgoing mayor, says it's not mayhem.
00:08:23.000Now, of course, we know that if hundreds of white MAGA hat-wearing people descended in Chicago after black people, it'd be the number one news story in the country.
00:08:34.000Well, it's because when Jesse Smollett pretended that two white people came after him wearing MAGA hats and allegedly put a noose on him, it received nonstop nationwide coverage.
00:08:44.000The only problem is it never happened.
00:11:27.000You know that the wealthiest counties in America used to be around Chicago and Detroit.
00:11:30.000Now the wealthiest counties are all around Washington, D.C.
00:11:33.000We went from a country that rewarded merit and work and risk-tank and entrepreneurialism to a country that now rewards insider crony deals, nepotism, proximity, and that's a perfect segue to Mr. Hunter Biden.
00:11:47.000Hunter Biden has been under investigation by the federal government, multiple federal agencies since 2018, but no charges have been filed, and the investigation also hasn't been closed.
00:11:57.000In other words, this investigation has been going on for longer than the United States was involved in World War II.
00:12:02.000We have Hunter's entire laptop exposing his personal life, and there's a lot there.
00:12:08.000It's filled with obvious, shady, and potential criminal behavior, but somehow we don't have anything conclusive on him, which is just nonsense.
00:12:15.000What it really is, is that the investigation on Hunter Biden keeps on getting interfered with.
00:12:20.000I want to talk about obstruction of justice.
00:12:22.000It's always been obvious what's happening.
00:12:25.000Someone inside the Internal Revenue Service is holding up a serious investigation into Hunter Biden.
00:12:31.000Well, now we know a special IRS agent is seeking whistleblower protection to disclose alleged mishandling of the investigation into Hunter Biden.
00:12:41.000Now, the whistleblower, the letter, it's very, very vague.
00:12:45.000It doesn't say that Hunter Biden is the high-profile person whose investigation is being sabotaged.
00:12:50.000However, according to the Wall Street Journal, it's been made clear to lawmakers that this is the person who's being protected.
00:12:55.000A letter to the lawmakers from the agent's attorney, Mark Little, says the IRS has failed to address clear conflicts of interest in the investigation into Hunter Biden and his potential crimes related to taxes and an illegal gun purchase.
00:13:07.000The agent has already shared the information internally with the IRS and the Justice Department watchdog.
00:13:12.000Yeah, that's a good way to make sure nothing happens.
00:13:46.000Because if you take down Hunter Biden, in the process of that investigation, you're going to find the big man.
00:13:51.000You're going to find not just taxes not being paid.
00:13:54.000You're going to find the big guy, Joe Biden.
00:13:58.000Remember Tony Bobulinsky, who came out with the smoking gun of smoking guns, and people just kind of shrugged their shoulders and they didn't care.
00:14:05.000Tony Bobulinsky, who said on the record repeatedly and was willing to testify, was willing to work with federal investigators, willing to work with the DOJ to say that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were breaking international customs and also domestic law, selling out our country to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:14:20.000I don't want to get your hopes up, though.
00:14:22.000I'm of the belief that these people are largely untouchable.
00:14:26.000We have the untouchable class, and then we have us.
00:14:32.000We have the untouchable class and the persecuted class.
00:14:34.000The untouchable class is largely white liberals who run the country.
00:14:43.000Look, it is time to consider a rollover of that 401k into an IRA.
00:14:49.000The investment world is completely different in 2023, and you cannot do the same thing as last year.
00:14:54.000Woke companies are aggressively implementing ESG.
00:14:58.000Interest rates are going up, and inflation is still lingering.
00:15:01.000If you have over $150,000, now is the time to move your money to a biblical responsible investing strategy with my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:16:33.000We've got drugs pouring across the border.
00:16:35.000We've got 350,000 children who have been smuggled across the border, thousands of whom are now in slave labor conditions in the shadows in this country.
00:16:45.000That's because of this administration.
00:17:00.000I think they clearly think that illegal immigrants come into the country eventually will get citizenship status or heck, be able to vote in some states as illegals and that this will help them over time.
00:17:10.000I think a lot of it's political, but I think a lot of it is also it's cultural and ideological.
00:17:14.000Listen, if you have illegal immigrants who come into this country and drive down wages, it means you don't have to pay American workers or legal immigrants the wages they deserve.
00:17:28.000So they're happy to have these people come over, take American jobs, drive down American wage.
00:17:33.000Well, and what you've just articulated, and I totally agree, is a couple different entities then that benefit from open borders, megacorporations, agricultural industry, and then the American Democrat Party, by their own admission, they believe they're going to win politically from this.
00:17:59.000The Biden administration is removing it in just a few weeks.
00:18:02.000And Charlie, there is going to be an enormous explosion.
00:18:04.000If you want to get a sense of what it's like, what it's going to be, look at what happened a couple of years ago when they removed children from Title 42.
00:18:12.000They did that back in January of 2021.
00:18:14.000And in one month, there was a 342% increase in the number of kids, 342% increase.
00:18:24.000That's about the scale we're going to see here in about two, three weeks.
00:18:28.000You're one of the few senators, I think, doing an effective job to hold this fourth branch of government accountable.
00:18:34.000The concern I have and our audience has is the general attitude that I am receiving from Mayorkis is he doesn't really care as if there is, yeah, okay, he'll receive the scolding.
00:18:47.000He'll receive the online and viral, you know, condemnation, but it's as if he has a higher purpose ideological agenda.
00:18:56.000A great example of this is Cut 75, where you do a phenomenal job cross-examining him, and it's effective.
00:19:02.000It helps us in the narrative war, but I don't think Mayorkis is moved by this.
00:19:06.000It's as if he has a duty to something beyond Congress.
00:19:10.000He thinks he's better than you, Senator.
00:20:10.000But what will make a difference is, is that if he's not going to do his job and he's just going to flout the law, which is what he is doing, if he's going to lie to Congress, then the House should impeach him.
00:21:41.000Thousands of children have ended up in punishing jobs across the country, working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machinery in factories, all in violation of child labor laws.
00:21:57.000For example, there's a young girl named Carolina from Guatemala.
00:22:03.000She packages Cheerios overnight at a factory.
00:22:08.000She says, sometimes I get tired and I feel sick.
00:22:11.000The times goes on, her stomach often hurt.
00:22:14.000She wasn't sure if that was because of a lack of sleep or the stress of the incessant roar of the machines or her own worry.
00:22:23.000Now, Senator, for our audience that might just be alarmed by this, this is slave labor domestically in the United States involving children.
00:22:31.000We have millions of federal agents and bureaucrats that love to go storm James O'Keefe's home, go after Steve Bannon, go after conservative businesses.
00:22:40.000Where's the Department of Labor like knocking on these?
00:22:43.000Like, hey, you guys have Nicaraguan 13-year-olds doing slave labor for you.
00:22:51.000If it involves the multinational corporations, Charlie, who send them all those donations, you know, all the executives who fund the Democrats, then it's fine.
00:22:57.000And if you look at what's going on here, where are these children being sent?
00:23:36.000I mean, we got, we obviously come in guns ablazing to pastors' homes or dissident journalists or Mar-a-Lago.
00:23:44.000So you go and raid Mar-a-Lago, you indict Donald Trump, and we just kind of shrug our shoulders when there is a new slave trade that basically is now institutionalized here domestically.
00:25:05.000After sworn testimony, former acting CIA director Mike Morrell colluded.
00:25:11.000We know that the Biden campaign solicited the letter from 50-plus Intel officials that labeled Hunter Biden's laptop Russian disinformation, which was then used as a prerequisite for social media censorship.
00:25:23.000And so who made the call to then acting CIA director Morrell?
00:25:28.000Remember, this was technically Trump's government at the time.
00:25:33.000I mean, this is not just direct election interference.
00:25:36.000This is unlike anything we've ever seen before.
00:25:38.000Yeah, I think Tony Blinken, I thought, was the big revelation that came out of the committee, the House committee here just recently that Blinken was the one on the campaign on the Biden campaign who is drumming this stuff up.
00:25:51.000He's now the Secretary of State, for heaven's sakes.
00:25:53.000He's the one who's predicting the same thing.
00:25:55.000So Tony Blinken called a Trump appointee and the Trump appointee took direction from the Biden campaign.
00:26:01.000I'm told that Blinken is the one who solicited the letter, that the 51 national security folks who signed a letter saying that this is all disinformation, that Blinken is the one who solicited it.
00:26:16.000I just, because it was current and active intel agencies and Politico put them all together and Politico had the worst headline of them all is they said this and the way they worded it, this looks like Russian disinformation.
00:26:28.000But then, Senator, I lost access to my Twitter because I wasn't allowed to talk about the laptop two weeks before because they said, oh, according to Politico.
00:28:32.000They think they can win with anybody because they have the machinery to do it.
00:28:35.000By machinery, I mean ballot chasers, the relaxed signature verification rules, favorable Secretary of State's offices, favorable Supreme Courts, the lawfare strategy, all the above.
00:29:47.000And they say that DeMar Hamlin will be back on the field this fall.
00:29:51.000Cut 82, the woman that looks like a Wiccan, I'm not sure if she is, Rosett DeLauro has a very interesting point here, and it segues to a question that I don't think anyone has successfully been able to answer.
00:30:04.000How did the Democrat Party go from a party that just years ago was arguing for women's equality and women's rights?
00:30:11.000And now in the latest vote, not a single Democrat decided to vote that female sports are worthy of protection.
00:30:17.000What has happened to the American Democrat Party?
00:30:20.000Well, Rosa DeLauro says that we need to make sure we use female dummies.
00:30:24.000And the question should have been: well, Congresswoman DeLauro, what is a woman?
00:30:30.000You also plan to make important investments to address the roadway safety crisis, including the critical funding that would accelerate the development.
00:30:39.000And this is an area I've written to you about of the use of female dummies in crash testing.
00:30:46.000This will start to fight the gender inequity among vehicle safety and crash victims.
00:30:50.000Wait, wait, so we need to use female crash dummies?
00:30:58.000At the same time, it does beg the question that her automatic gut reaction is to try to, because she's an older liberal Democrat, fight for women's rights.
00:31:12.000The Democrat Party is no longer about protecting women.
00:31:15.000It's about elevating and giving power to mentally delusional men, hyper-aggressive men that think they are women.
00:31:24.000In a vote that just happened in the House of Representatives, every Republican and no Democrat, not a single Democrat voted to say that only men should be in men's sports and only females should be in female sports.
