00:00:46.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:47.000 Here we go.
00:00:48.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:50.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:52.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:55.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:59.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:00.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:01.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:08.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:09.000 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.
00:01:18.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:21.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:30.000 The House of Representatives does not have a speaker.
00:01:33.000 It says very clearly in the United States Constitution, the House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers and shall have the sole power of impeachment.
00:01:45.000 Right now, there is no speaker of the House.
00:01:48.000 Jim Jordan has effectively withdrawn from the Speaker's race.
00:01:52.000 We warned you on this program, the moderates were going to dig in.
00:01:54.000 The moderates were going to try to hold the line, and they have.
00:01:57.000 The moderates want nothing to do with a conservative speaker.
00:01:59.000 This is them executing their revenge from what happened with Motion to Vacate.
00:02:04.000 It is a tit-for-tat back and forth.
00:02:07.000 And I could tell you, talking to the grassroots, talking to donors, I've had a lot of donor meetings this last week, really amazing grassroots donors, really amazing people.
00:02:16.000 There's some great donors out there that really love the country.
00:02:19.000 They are so upset with the Republican Party.
00:02:21.000 They are so over this clown show, this circus, the fact that you vacate the chair and then you have no plan to replace it.
00:02:30.000 And you can't have Jim, you cannot even get Jim Jordan to become Speaker.
00:02:34.000 It is widespread dysfunction.
00:02:36.000 And the grassroots agrees.
00:02:38.000 Talking to everyday grassroots warriors, let me read this one email.
00:02:40.000 And I understand.
00:02:41.000 I understand that these emails can be more passion than actual reality.
00:02:47.000 But I mean, I'll just read this one.
00:02:49.000 Frank says, Charlie, the Republican Party is dead to me.
00:02:51.000 We'll never vote for any of them again.
00:02:52.000 Okay, I hope you're wrong, but I understand the passion and the sentiment.
00:02:55.000 I mean, I hope you change your mind.
00:02:57.000 But what am I supposed to say?
00:02:58.000 Yeah, vote for Republicans because if you give them power, what are they going to do?
00:03:01.000 It's not exactly making the best sales pitch.
00:03:04.000 So now there's new headlines.
00:03:05.000 Jim Jordan has basically backed out.
00:03:08.000 Jim Jordan will not pursue a third vote for Speaker.
00:03:11.000 That's too bad.
00:03:12.000 You know, I'd like to see him continue to push this fight forward, but you can't blame him.
00:03:15.000 I mean, only he knows the intensity and the things being thrown at him.
00:03:20.000 So Jim Jordan is a great American.
00:03:24.000 Jim Jordan is a true conservative.
00:03:26.000 We've been pushing him this entire time.
00:03:28.000 But 20 moderates want to try to get in the way to prevent Jim Jordan from becoming Speaker.
00:03:33.000 Now, there's bipartisan support, NBC News says, for Patrick McHenry to become temporary House Speaker.
00:03:42.000 Hold on a second.
00:03:44.000 Bipartisan support?
00:03:47.000 That's a bad, bad headline, everybody.
00:03:50.000 Wait, did we win the House or did we not win the House?
00:03:53.000 We are effectively destroying our House majority because we cannot select a speaker.
00:04:00.000 We warned about this back in January.
00:04:01.000 We've warned about it this last week.
00:04:02.000 And I'm sad to say that if Patrick McHenry becomes temporary House Speaker, it empowers the Democrats.
00:04:09.000 This is worse than business as usual.
00:04:11.000 The Democrats did not have any power this last summer.
00:04:14.000 You could say what you want about how you didn't like Kevin McCarthy and you didn't like the CR and the debt ceiling.
00:04:19.000 I can resonate with that.
00:04:20.000 But we had real committees on weaponization of government.
00:04:23.000 We had real stuff going on, Biden.
00:04:25.000 So we asked, what was the plan?
00:04:30.000 People said, well, just trust the process.
00:04:32.000 Okay, well, here we are.
00:04:33.000 Trusting the process.
00:04:35.000 And if Patrick McHenry is getting bipartisan support, that makes me not want to support him.
00:04:41.000 We want a Republican Speaker of the House, not a bipartisan speaker of the House.
00:04:48.000 Big difference.
00:04:49.000 We voted for a Republican majority.
00:04:52.000 Notice that impeachment of Biden is gone.
00:04:54.000 By the way, Biden's numbers are going to probably go up five to 10 points in the next week or two.
00:04:59.000 Not because he deserves it, but because you do a foreign visit and there's war and all that.
00:05:03.000 It's one of the iron laws of politics is when a foreign leader goes abroad in a time of crisis, numbers go up.
00:05:11.000 So we rolled the dice.
00:05:12.000 We did motion to vacate.
00:05:13.000 And some of you are going to say, you know, Kevin McCarthy totally deserved it.
00:05:17.000 Hard to disagree on the CR and the debt ceiling stuff when you spend $2 trillion that you do not have and the border remains wide open.
00:05:23.000 Jack Smith is unchecked.
00:05:24.000 We're spending money to Ukraine.
00:05:25.000 I'm not going to defend that.
00:05:26.000 Bipartisan means concessions.
00:05:30.000 Because we cannot get our act together, because the Republican Party cannot get behind a single speaker, Jim Jordan or otherwise, if it ends up happening that Patrick McHenry becomes Speaker of the House and bipartisan support unites behind it, you will have effectively neutered the Republican Congress.
00:05:50.000 Pramila Jalapal, Jayapal, who is left of Joseph Stalin, has come out and said, quote, I'm waiting to see what the assurances are about power sharing.
00:06:01.000 The chairman of the Progressive Caucus, your Republican Congress is going to have to now do power sharing with progressive Democrats.
00:06:11.000 If this ends up happening, and if, I'm not going to say it is a guarantee, it is as if another election happened, breaking news, CNN, Republicans lose House majority.
00:06:20.000 Quote, what do we have to ensure what happens here reflects the fact that the Democrats are essentially governing this body?
00:06:27.000 You might have won the House of Representatives at the ballot box, but then you lose it because you can't select the speaker.
00:06:36.000 So this is happening in real time, and Jim Jordan has backed out.
00:06:40.000 And some of you are very angry that, you know, Jim Jordan is, you know, this one here.
00:06:44.000 Why is Jim Jordan turning into a fluff?
00:06:46.000 Thought he was a fighter.
00:06:47.000 What is going on?
00:06:49.000 Look, you can't blame him.
00:06:51.000 I understand you're angry and all this, but the 20 moderates are not moving.
00:06:55.000 They're not budging, guys.
00:06:56.000 This is the same problem that we illustrated when we said maybe Kevin McCarthy is not as bad as you think he is.
00:07:02.000 And I will say this, the complaints against Kevin McCarthy, totally legit, fine, CR, debt ceiling.
00:07:07.000 I don't like that stuff.
00:07:09.000 But Kevin McCarthy would be, and still to this day would be a better speaker than a bipartisan coalition government.
00:07:17.000 That is a fact.
00:07:18.000 That's a fact.
00:07:19.000 Power-sharing coalition government, which is now not something that is being remotely entertained.
00:07:25.000 And by the way, we've been attacked on this program by people.
00:07:27.000 Charlie, you're fear-mongering, not going to happen.
00:07:29.000 I'm not going to say it's a guarantee, but it's about a 50-50 shot that there's a power-sharing agreement at this point to share power with Paramila Jayapal.
00:07:38.000 By the way, the Democrats, they're so smart.
00:07:40.000 Nancy Pelosi told Kevin McCarthy, I'll always have your back.
00:07:43.000 She's a liar, obviously.
00:07:44.000 Kevin McCarthy gets the motion to vacate.
00:07:47.000 All the Democrats, the order came down from the Democrats.
00:07:51.000 Do not bail out Kevin McCarthy.
00:07:53.000 And Democrats said, huh, the Republicans don't have a plan.
00:07:56.000 We might be able to take over the House.
00:07:58.000 The Democrats said, hey, what do we have to lose?
00:08:01.000 We just have to sit in our chair through another round of voting and yell, Jeffries, Jeffries, for another hour.
00:08:07.000 Okay.
00:08:07.000 So the Democrats, like good Stalinists, listened to the Politburo, got the order from on high, and they said, okay, let's get Ray McCarthy.
00:08:15.000 Let's roll the dice.
00:08:17.000 And now they might actually have won.
00:08:19.000 The Democrats might have taken over the House majority without an election.
00:08:23.000 The American people gave the Republicans a majority, and the Democrats very well might take it over because of our dysfunction.
00:08:29.000 Now, it's important to note, if something happened to Biden in Camela, presidency can only be a person with the true title of speaker, not speaker pro tem or acting speaker.
00:08:37.000 So if McKenney or anyone else is sitting in the speaker's chair as anything other than the true speaker elected by a roll call vote of the house, then after Biden and Harris, the powers of the presidency would then pass to Patty Murray, president pro tem of the Senate.
00:08:51.000 And then it would go to Anthony Blinken.
00:08:53.000 Lord help us all.
00:08:55.000 And there's a lot of frustration coming in here.
00:08:57.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:09:00.000 And people say, well, Charlie, what is the plan?
00:09:03.000 Honestly, that's not for me to answer.
00:09:07.000 I'm not the one that has been calling for this stuff.
00:09:09.000 I've been the one that's actually been, and I've received a fair amount of hostility from people, a fair amount of hostility for people.
00:09:16.000 And that's fine.
00:09:17.000 I appreciate it.
00:09:18.000 You guys were blooding me up and telling me to go to bad places, Gehenna, which is Hebrew for hell.
00:09:25.000 Because I was a little bit cautious, which is, you know, against some of my wiring, which is like, guys, hold on.
00:09:32.000 You know, let's be careful.
00:09:34.000 Some of you are saying, Charlie, give the Democrats the majority.
00:09:37.000 We never had a majority.
00:09:38.000 Pull the mask off and let's move on.
00:09:40.000 Yeah, I think that's very irresponsible.
00:09:42.000 That's not a good idea.
00:09:43.000 A source familiar told the Daily Caller that, quote, Jordan will continue to run and try to shore up votes.
00:09:48.000 Until then, remain speaker designee, not dropping out McHenry temporary till January.
00:09:53.000 Yeah, Republicans are not exactly making the best case to give us more political power.
00:09:58.000 What do you think about the Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, motion to vacate?
00:10:03.000 All of this together.
00:10:04.000 Are you pleased with how the last two and a half weeks have gone?
00:10:07.000 Do you think this is the best use of a precious majority, the only thing in government we control?
00:10:12.000 Have you been thrilled post-motion to vacate?
00:10:14.000 Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:10:19.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:22.000 Okay, I think I have to do a better job of explaining this because we're receiving a lot of emails of people confused saying, Charlie, what do you mean we could lose the majority?
00:11:30.000 Okay, so let me do a better job of kind of articulating this.
00:11:34.000 So you have 435, right?
00:11:37.000 Blake, 435?
00:11:38.000 435 members of the United States House of Representatives, voting members.
00:11:42.000 You have some people from Guam or the Virgin Islands that aren't voting members that can sit on committees.
00:11:46.000 Okay, there are 435 people in the United States Congress, and they come together and obviously they're divided by party.
00:11:53.000 And so one party has more members than the other.
00:11:58.000 Republicans, I think right now, have 221, 220, 221, right?
00:12:01.000 Depending on who's sick or who's in a hospital, not a joke.
00:12:04.000 When you have 221, it's tough to organize.
00:12:06.000 Right when you're 22, 221.
00:12:07.000 So your margin, yeah, it's 221, thank you.
00:12:09.000 And Democrats have 212, and then there's two vacant seats, and so it goes up and down and up and down.
00:12:14.000 It's tough, and they don't allow remote voting, thankfully.
00:12:16.000 They shouldn't, for voting for Speaker.
00:12:19.000 So you have to be there in person.
00:12:21.000 So when you have a majority, 221, and the bad guys have a minority, you should be able to say, hey, at the magic number, whoever can get 217 votes, then you become Speaker of the House.
00:12:32.000 You have a majority, you control committees, legislative agenda, all that stuff.
00:12:36.000 So, but if part of your party, part of the 221, decide to go in a line with the 212 of the Democrats, which only takes five.
00:12:46.000 So five Republicans could hand the majority over to the Democrats.
00:12:50.000 And they might.
00:12:51.000 And they might at this point.
00:12:53.000 They're in Biden districts.
00:12:55.000 They feel betrayed by the Republican Party.
00:12:57.000 McCarthy is not raising money for them anymore because he's not.
00:12:59.000 So they have to find, they have to preserve themselves.
00:13:01.000 So let's go through some of these people, right?
00:13:03.000 So pick Gaborino or whatever, Gasperino from New York.
00:13:07.000 What is their name?
00:13:09.000 Gasperino?
00:13:10.000 No, no, no, no.
00:13:12.000 It's an Italian name.
00:13:13.000 One of the reps from New York in a Biden district.
00:13:16.000 Okay.
00:13:17.000 So it's a district that Biden won, and they're worried they want to keep their job.
00:13:22.000 For them, it's really important.
00:13:24.000 So they're saying, huh, I'm not getting any support from the Republican establishment because no one's raising any money.
00:13:31.000 Andrew Garberino, thank you, Garberino.
00:13:34.000 Let's just take this one guy.
00:13:35.000 Yes, he's a moderate.
00:13:36.000 Yes, he's a rhino.
00:13:37.000 Okay.
00:13:38.000 But Andrew Garberino is in Republicans' second district, okay?
00:13:43.000 The second congressional district in Long Island, okay?
00:13:46.000 Suffolk County and a small portion of southeastern Nassau County.
00:13:49.000 Okay, that's a tough, tough district.
00:13:51.000 That's a tough district as a Republican.
00:13:53.000 Not impossible.
00:13:54.000 That's a tough district.
00:13:55.000 So Andrew Garberino is in self-preservation mode because basically the entire apparatus of the Congressional Leadership Fund, all that McCarthy stuff has been put aside.
00:14:06.000 So Andrew Garberino wants to keep his job.
00:14:08.000 And he's saying, okay, how can I make myself more appealing to Democrat voters in my district in Long Island, New York?
00:14:16.000 Oh, I know.
00:14:16.000 I can go make it seem as if I'm doing a bipartisan deal for the House and that will get me reelected.
00:14:21.000 So everyone, at this point, we're basically Lord of the Flies.
00:14:26.000 It's self-preservation mode.
00:14:28.000 So anybody that is in moderate Biden districts, they're thinking, well, why don't we all just unite together, do a quote-unquote power-sharing agreement.
00:14:36.000 We can go back to our districts, get all this beautiful media, and tell our constituents we go to DC to solve problems, not just be in the partisan majority.
00:14:44.000 Now, that is insane, but this is what happens when you don't have any leadership.
00:14:48.000 You all of a sudden have these different factions and sects and tribes.
00:14:53.000 It's like sectarianism.
00:14:55.000 Let me read an email that I received this morning.
00:14:58.000 A real email of a lobbying campaign.
00:15:00.000 In fact, I actually think I forwarded it here.
00:15:02.000 Let me see.
00:15:03.000 Yep, this one right here.
00:15:04.000 No labels.com.
00:15:06.000 No labels.org.
00:15:07.000 Same organization that might be drafting Joe Manchin to run for the presidency.
00:15:11.000 Quote, tell Congress today you want a bipartisan speaker.
00:15:14.000 This is the moment for every member of Congress, every member of the No Labels community to call or email their member of Congress to let them know you want to support this deal.
00:15:21.000 There is now a well-funded campaign by No Labels to neuter the House majority.
00:15:28.000 So if conservatives in the caucus block this, then Republicans could make some concessions to bring in some Democrats to get this done.
00:15:36.000 No labels continues.
00:15:38.000 We need a speaker elected with bipartisan support.
00:15:40.000 We need leaders to lead.
00:15:41.000 We need them to think new and do new.
00:15:44.000 Admiral Dennis Blair, co-founder and legal board member of no labels, no labels.org, which would effectively destroy the entire Republican House majority.
00:15:56.000 Now, some of you say, well, Charlie, what were they even doing in the majority anyway?
00:15:59.000 It doesn't matter.
00:16:00.000 Okay, yeah, there were some big disappointments with the CR and the debt ceiling.
00:16:04.000 But there was some real momentum happening with committees.
00:16:07.000 Impeachment of Biden was looming.
00:16:09.000 Finally, some revelations.
00:16:11.000 FBI, Fauci, COVID.
00:16:13.000 There was some real stuff that was happening to be a check and balance of the fourth branch of government.
00:16:17.000 Was it happening fast enough?
00:16:18.000 Not for my liking, but it wasn't insignificant.
00:16:22.000 It was real.
00:16:23.000 And so now the Republicans are in a corner, and the quote-unquote blue district moderates are looking for an escape hatch to go align with Democrats and hand over the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.

00:17:37.000 Someone says here, Charlie, will you please share more information about the no labels letter?
00:17:42.000 I want to share that.
00:17:43.000 I think it's really important.
00:17:44.000 We, the people, have a choice in speaker.
00:17:46.000 Yes, here's what you understand.
00:17:47.000 And then we'll get into the Sydney Powell stuff because it's really important.
00:17:49.000 That the Uniparty, the Chamber of Commerce that wants unlimited funding for Ukraine, border wide open, crony corporate deals, they're totally on board with a quote-unquote bipartisan Uniparty speaker.
00:18:02.000 For them, that would be a dream to have a Uniparty type speaker that would just be business as usual, the K-Street lobbying cabal, the cartel that runs the insider, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson.
00:18:18.000 They want Patrick McHenry or whatever bipartisan thing, which is just stamp of approval.
00:18:25.000 So we're going to keep an eye on it.
00:18:26.000 We're getting a lot of emails.
00:18:28.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:18:30.000 That's freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:18:32.000 A lot of displeasure out there.
00:18:33.000 Okay.
00:18:34.000 So this morning, Sidney Powell, it was announced, Sidney Powell has pled guilty in the charges in Georgia.
00:18:42.000 And Democrats seem very excited about this.
00:18:45.000 Ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia election interference case.
00:18:50.000 Sidney Powell has pled guilty.
00:18:52.000 The seven different felony charges against her were dropped down to six misdemeanor charges of election interference.
00:18:59.000 Powell is the second person to plead guilty in this case.
00:19:02.000 And so, okay, some of you are going to email us and you're going to be pretty fired up.
00:19:05.000 Oh, my goodness, Sidney Powell's a traitor and all this.
00:19:07.000 Look, I'm not going to, I'm not going to get into that.
00:19:09.000 If you were facing multiple years in prison, I bet you would try to find a deal.
00:19:14.000 Okay?
00:19:15.000 Now, with that being said, I'm going to put that aside.
00:19:19.000 And some people say, oh, she's going to hurt Trump.
00:19:22.000 Let's isolate that.
00:19:24.000 I have a rule when someone is facing many, many years in prison and they try to preserve their own life.
00:19:28.000 I'm not going to attack them.
00:19:31.000 I'm just not.
00:19:31.000 Okay?
00:19:32.000 And so you might have worries that she's going to then, quote unquote, turn against Trump, because I bet part of her plea deal is some sort of a agreement that she's going to testify against other defendants.
00:19:44.000 But what this does show is that Big Fanny Willis is more than just a reckless revenge field prosecutor.
00:19:52.000 She herself is, but there are some handlers behind Big Fanny Willis in Georgia that have a plan.
00:20:00.000 And this... is a problem.
00:20:04.000 You know, we made fun of Big Fanny Willis and her, you know, group of not-so-smart people.
00:20:10.000 They have typos on indictment letters and they're late to press conferences.
00:20:14.000 It's a disaster, right?
00:20:15.000 Somebody who really knows what they are doing has come in and basically taken over the operation of the Big Fanny Willis case.
00:20:24.000 There are some cunning people and some devious people that are behind the scenes, whether her handlers in Washington, D.C., whether they are Andrew Weissman, who has come in as a quote-unquote unpaid advisor of Big Fanny Willis.
00:20:39.000 So let me build this out for you.
00:20:41.000 The fact that the Fulton County district attorney is willing to drop charges down to misdemeanors for Sidney Powell shows that there is a plan, and the plan is to build the case, of course, pointing towards Trump before the election of next November.
00:21:00.000 What I'm getting at is that this is the opposite of reckless from Big Fanny Willis.
00:21:06.000 If your goal is to try to get Trump, this is an orchestrated, prudent move on behalf of what otherwise seemed to be an out-of-control type prosecutor.
00:21:17.000 This is a problem because one of Trump's advantages in this Georgia case is it looked like it was just a wild woman that was trying to build a political career.
00:21:27.000 It still is.
00:21:29.000 But cooler heads have now taken over.
00:21:31.000 Sidney Powell was facing all of this stuff seven years in prison, you know, tons of years in prison, and they offer her a plea deal.
00:21:37.000 Why?
00:21:37.000 Well, because they're going to use guilty pleas against Trump.
00:21:41.000 They're going to use them to testify against Trump.
00:21:45.000 Again, they sit in a room and they whiteboard this stuff out, cause and effect, and they chessboard it.
00:21:50.000 We have no plan on our side.
00:21:51.000 There's no plan.
00:21:52.000 We can't elect a speaker.
00:21:53.000 We have a contentious primary.
00:21:55.000 You know, we have a nominee that is going to be facing 700 years in federal prison, totally unnecessarily and wrong.
00:22:01.000 There's no plan.
00:22:02.000 There's no operation.
00:22:03.000 We're too busy attacking each other.
00:22:05.000 The Republican establishment is attacking me.
00:22:07.000 You have the whole thing happening in the House of Representatives.
00:22:09.000 It is a mess.
00:22:10.000 It's a disaster.
00:22:11.000 It's the worst I've ever seen it.
00:22:13.000 Hopefully we can get our act together heading into next year.
00:22:15.000 There is more Republican infighting.
00:22:17.000 There is more conservative Civil War chatter than I have ever seen in 11 years.
00:22:22.000 Would you agree, Blake?
00:22:22.000 It's as bad as I've ever seen it.
00:22:23.000 It's nasty.
00:22:24.000 It's a circular firing squad.
00:22:26.000 I'm too busy getting, every other day there's another attack article.
00:22:29.000 Charter Kirk is an anti-Semite.
00:22:31.000 I'm like, well, first of all, that's insane.
00:22:32.000 It's wrong.
00:22:33.000 Why are you spending attention on that when, I don't know, the Marxists are taking over the entire country.
00:22:38.000 It's as bad as I have ever seen it.
00:22:40.000 The Democrats are as unified as I've ever seen.
00:22:42.000 That's too bad.
00:22:43.000 The Democrats have embraced political power.
00:22:46.000 They love power.
00:22:47.000 We have more reasons than ever to oppose Democrats.
00:22:50.000 And yet we're fighting each other in the House, fighting each other in the speaker's race, fighting each other in the streets.
00:22:54.000 Not in the streets, but you know what I mean, fighting each other in primaries.
00:22:56.000 It's a disaster right now.
00:22:58.000 Okay?
00:23:00.000 But going back to the Sidney Powell thing, some people are going to accuse Sidney Powell of betraying Trump.
00:23:05.000 She was probably broke financially, and they backed her into a corner.
00:23:10.000 Okay?
00:23:11.000 So I would recommend just laying off Sidney Powell with all of these kind of like, she's a terrible person, all this.
00:23:19.000 If you're ever in that situation, I don't know what choice you would make.
00:23:22.000 Look at how many January 6th defendants who were broke, who were backed into a corner and pled guilty.
00:23:29.000 Okay?
00:23:30.000 Now, here's the one thing I will say.
00:23:33.000 If Sidney Powell lies about Donald Trump, then that's a big problem.
00:23:38.000 If she testifies, it could actually help Donald Trump because Donald Trump did nothing wrong.
00:23:43.000 The only way that this really is a problem is if Sidney Powell made something up and then went to prosecutors and said, hey, you know, we're here to work on, you know, something against Trump, and they were so attracted to that.
00:24:02.000 So Sidney Powell is going to pay a fine and get no jail time.
00:24:07.000 But we must understand this is an operation.
00:24:10.000 You are living through an active measure and an active operation.
00:24:14.000 They ludicrously overcharged everyone involved in this.
00:24:17.000 So they were looking at years and years in prison or six or seven figures of legal debt.
00:24:22.000 No matter how insane the charges are, nobody can feel confident in getting acquitted because this is a politically motivated case in Fulton County.
00:24:30.000 And the jury might just convict because they hate Trump.
00:24:34.000 So it's really easy to extort plea deals.
00:24:38.000 Then they use these plea guilty deals to exact testimony against the one person they actually care about, which is Donald Trump.
00:24:46.000 And they're using their power to exert leverage.
00:24:49.000 And all of these alleged fights that we are seeing right now, fights on the right and fights on this, it's all about Trump.
00:24:57.000 It's hard to even put into words how badly the establishment wants to exact revenge.
00:25:10.000 Donald Trump is the centerpiece.
00:25:11.000 Believe it or not, Donald Trump is the centerpiece of the House Speaker fight, too.
00:25:15.000 Donald Trump is the central actor in all of this.
00:25:19.000 We are not past the Trump era.
00:25:21.000 In fact, you're living right in the middle of it.
00:25:23.000 And the Republican establishment is showing from trying to go after Jim Jordan, trying to go after me, which is insane.
00:25:32.000 Good luck, because of Trump.
00:25:36.000 The Republican establishment is prioritizing making Trump suffer more than beating the left.
00:25:46.000 Let me say that again.
00:25:48.000 The Republican establishment is showing us in these infighting, in what's happening on the floor of the Speaker of the House race, the Republican establishment cares far more about going after Donald Trump and making sure that he's sidelined or suffers more than beating the Marxists.
00:26:11.000 They hope to pick up the pieces and then be in charge of the ashes of what was once the conservative movement under Trump.
00:26:21.000 Their only hope is that they crater the conservative movement, level it like a parking lot, put us in such vast minority and do the I told you so thing.
00:26:32.000 Why is Mike Pence running?
00:26:33.000 Why is Nikki Haley running?
00:26:35.000 Why is Chris Christie running?
00:26:36.000 They are running as a massive I told you so moment.
00:26:41.000 This is exactly why Brian Kemp is not firing Fannie Willis.
00:26:46.000 Brian Kemp right now could fire Fannie Willis.
00:26:51.000 A Republican governor who received Donald Trump's endorsement that otherwise was not going to win in the Republican primary in Georgia could save Donald Trump from this reckless prosecution, but he refuses.
00:27:03.000 The Republican establishment wants to turn back the clock.
00:27:07.000 They want to go away from this populist nationalism.
00:27:10.000 They want to go back to neoconservatism.
00:27:13.000 They don't like people pursuing the truth.
00:27:16.000 They want to go back.
00:27:17.000 By the way, when they say they want to go back to Bush as Speaker and Bush Republicans, they want to go back to a president who ended his term with a 25% approval rating.
00:27:26.000 Just so we understand how much people hated George W. Bush.
00:27:30.000 And they do not have popular support.
00:27:34.000 They don't.
00:27:35.000 But they have money and institutional influence.
00:27:39.000 And so what you are seeing play out in the speaker's race, what you're seeing play out in the Fulton County deal, what you're seeing play out in this nasty Republican civil war that is happening in real time, and it's not going to get any better anytime soon, is a small group of people with a lot of money and a lot of institutional support against everybody else who doesn't have as much institutional support or money, but as a support of the grassroots.
00:28:03.000 They want to go back to unpopular conservatism.
00:28:06.000 Why?
00:28:07.000 Because it's weak, beatable, and a paper tiger and controlled opposition.
00:28:12.000 But at least they were able to get steak dinners at the Capitol Grill.
00:28:17.000 The New York Times said nice things about them because they were, good boy, heal, sit, don't question, do what you're told.
00:28:26.000 The Republican establishment at a fundamental level wants to be told what to do by the media.
00:28:32.000 And Donald Trump unleashed a different type of Republican, one that wants to win, one that wants to use political power.
00:28:37.000 And that's why he's facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:28:45.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:28:46.000 As you know, following this week's horrible events, Israel is at war.
00:28:50.000 The people of Israel are under attack from brutal terrorists, targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.
00:28:55.000 There's over a thousand casualties, as well as kidnapping and infiltration of southern Israeli towns.
00:29:00.000 Israel is now retaliating and could escalate with a ground offensive against Hamas militants.
00:29:04.000 The situation is critical, which is why I'm partnering with our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush emergency relief to the hardest hit areas.
00:29:11.000 Call the special phone number 800-492-5454 to make an emergency donation.
00:29:16.000 Again, that's 800-492-5454.
00:29:19.000 Your emergency gift will help the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews save lives and provide critical essentials needed right now.
00:29:26.000 During this dark time, the need in war-torn areas will be tremendous.
00:29:29.000 The fellowship has an extensive network of staff, partner organizations, and more.
00:29:33.000 Immediately respond with life-saving security and support measures.
00:29:35.000 We ask all people to pray for safety and protection.
00:29:38.000 Call 800-492-5454 as we rush urgent need right now to help Israel through the International Fellowship of Christian Jews.
00:29:48.000 It's interesting what's playing out on the speakers race, playing out in the Republican primary, playing out in law fair against Trump.
00:29:54.000 We're actually, interestingly enough, kind of playing a role in this at Turning Point USA, not playing a role, but we're a recipient of some of this, which is hilarious because we have rather thick skin around here.
00:30:03.000 Articles are written about us all the time.
00:30:04.000 Bring it on.
00:30:05.000 We're going to build.
00:30:05.000 We're going to keep playing offense.
00:30:06.000 We're not like most of these other Republican groups that get really angry.
00:30:09.000 Oh, my goodness, there's a bad article about us, like, whatever.
00:30:11.000 But I do do this just to illustrate that there is this anger.
00:30:14.000 There's this revenge campaign from the Republican establishment to take out anybody that is remotely in the orbit of Donald Trump or philosophically aligned with Donald Trump.
00:30:23.000 And they're using that one clip I had with Patrick Bett David.
00:30:25.000 I mean, how many stupid articles do I have to keep on reading of some?
00:30:29.000 It's obviously coordinated, right?
00:30:30.000 Oh my goodness, I'm so offended by what Charlie Kirk said, even though he had a disclaimer in what he said.
00:30:36.000 Okay.
00:30:37.000 And what it really is, and it comes from the Republican establishment.
00:30:40.000 A lot of this, by the way, is just revenge from the RNC because they're really butthurt that we expose them and their donations are down and people are really upset, but whatever.
00:30:48.000 And by the way, you pick big fights, you win big enemies, right?
00:30:51.000 So we understand that.
00:30:53.000 But you guys understand at Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action, we're stronger than ever.
00:30:58.000 We're growing like crazy.
00:30:59.000 I mean, the love that we had yet last night at University of Texas San Antonio was unbelievable.
00:31:02.000 We can show some of the pictures.
00:31:04.000 And tonight we have another sold-out event and Candace Owens going around the country.
00:31:07.000 It's as stronger and as amazing as I've ever seen.
00:31:09.000 The people are with us in an unbelievable way.
00:31:12.000 But I can tell you just from personal experience, they would like, my favorite ones that I read is they say, as if they're just so disconnected from reality.
00:31:19.000 And this one guy wrote a piece yesterday.
00:31:20.000 It's time for Charlie Kirk to be removed as head of Turning Point USA.
00:31:23.000 Yeah.
00:31:23.000 How do you think you're going to get that one done, pal?
00:31:26.000 Yeah, tell me, tell me the steps and the measures.
00:31:29.000 Actually, I consider it to be a huge compliment that Turning Point USA is so big and powerful that the people that don't know better act as if I'm like a hired gun at Turning Point USA, that I'm like a hired CEO, as if, and that's actually a really cool compliment, that there's separation between Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA, that they're not necessarily linked together, that Turning Point USA is an institution that has life and has impact beyond just a single person, which actually is everything that we always wanted to build.
00:31:59.000 And so when I read Ben Dominich, yeah, Blake put in our chat, Turning Point USA all went downhill as soon as they brought on Charlie Kirk.
00:32:10.000 Those idiots, why'd they ever hire him?
00:32:12.000 For those of you that don't know, I started Turning Point USA.
00:32:17.000 I don't think some of these people that write these articles know that.
00:32:20.000 This one moron that wrote this piece yesterday.
00:32:22.000 If Charlie Kirk is not removed, it will be a disgrace.
00:32:26.000 Okay, great.
00:32:28.000 Explain that one to me.
00:32:29.000 Or it was a huge mistake ever hiring Charlie Kirk.
00:32:33.000 Hmm.
00:32:36.000 Interesting.
00:32:37.000 Like, you got to go out the noise, right?
00:32:39.000 You got to, you got to just kind of, it's all just chatter.
00:32:43.000 The people are with us.
00:32:43.000 You guys are with us because we're actually doing real work.
00:32:46.000 But I mean, because I only mention this because it's part of a broader picture of the Republican establishment getting so nasty, so angry, that are just trying to take out anybody that remotely represents populism nationalism.
00:33:01.000 And they try to do this, James O'Keefe, try to do this Tucker Carlson.
00:33:04.000 Obviously, they're trying to do it to us.
00:33:06.000 You know, we've been ready.
00:33:07.000 We are ready.
00:33:07.000 And also, we punch back twice as hard.
00:33:09.000 They don't like that.
00:33:10.000 They don't like that we fight.
00:33:11.000 They don't like that we are grassroots centric.
00:33:13.000 They don't like that we name names.
00:33:15.000 By the way, you know what they really don't like?
00:33:16.000 They don't like how hard we work.
00:33:18.000 Our work ethic is a threat to the regime.
00:33:21.000 Because deep down, the people that are our biggest critics are lazy.
00:33:25.000 They're lazy.
00:33:27.000 They sit on their tail all day long and they think that working hard is drafting a tweet.
00:33:31.000 Woo!
00:33:31.000 That was tough.
00:33:33.000 I got to go take a nap.
00:33:34.000 Keyboard warriors.
00:33:36.000 Okay, how about you go travel 3,100 days in a decade and get back to me?
00:33:42.000 You'll need relief factor.
00:33:43.000 That's what I could tell you.
00:33:44.000 You'll need relief factor.
00:33:47.000 We're a battle tank.
00:33:48.000 We're built for this.
00:33:49.000 But the Republican establishment, they are in a nasty, nasty position right now.
00:33:53.000 They're venomous.
00:33:54.000 You see it in the Speaker of the House race.
00:33:55.000 By the way, it's all boiling over.
00:33:56.000 They're just trying to lash out of anything that they can right now.
00:33:59.000 They're unhinged.
00:34:02.000 It's really, in a way, a sign that shows that they have no power.
