00:00:26.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:27.000 Welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:29.000 This is Andrew Colvett filling in for Charlie.

00:00:32.000 He's still gone.

00:00:32.000 We won't let him come back until he's thoroughly enjoyed himself.

00:00:36.000 I hope that happens.

00:00:37.000 We have our doubts.

00:00:38.000 We'll have to wait till he's back to tell us how it's gone.

00:00:41.000 Nevertheless, we had a great jam-packed episode here.

00:00:44.000 I can't wait to share it with you guys.

00:00:46.000 We talk about stagflation.

00:00:47.000 We talk about the economic fallout from the Biden administration's policies and how he is the new Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter 2.0, all the creepy ways that that actually makes sense and how it's way truer than we would have predicted.

00:01:02.000 And how Joe Biden wanted to be FDR.

00:01:03.000 But unfortunately, he is more like the least popular president in American history, or at least modern American history.

00:01:09.000 Folks, if you like what we do here, support us.

00:01:12.000 We would appreciate it.

00:01:13.000 We're grateful for it.

00:01:30.000 In the meantime, buckle up.

00:01:31.000 Here we go.

00:01:32.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:34.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:36.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:39.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:43.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:44.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:45.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:52.000 Turning point USA.

00:01:53.000 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.

00:02:02.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:04.000 I want to get into Liz Cheney.

00:02:06.000 This is something that we didn't talk a lot about in weeks prior.

00:02:10.000 Frankly, we were a little bit uninterested.

00:02:14.000 You know, I think our show likes to get a level deeper.

00:02:18.000 To us, this battle with Liz Cheney, the GOP, was fairly irrelevant simply because the writing was on the wall.

00:02:28.000 Liz Cheney was out.

00:02:31.000 Donald Trump is ascended.

00:02:33.000 He's still the leader of the party.

00:02:34.000 Doesn't matter what hemming and hawing we want to see from the moderate rhinos in our party going rhino hunting, as they say, and another one's the dust.

00:02:44.000 Here's the truth. 1.00

00:02:45.000 Liz Cheney's whole job as the number three leader in the house was to get everybody on the same page. 0.87

00:02:52.000 Well, if you have leadership in the GOP that is not on the same page, she can't do her job very well, can she? 1.00

00:02:59.000 So she's out.

00:03:01.000 Now, she gave a floor vote or she gave a floor speech, which according to CNN, all of the Republicans left the House chamber except for one from, I think it was Ken Buck from Colorado.

00:03:14.000 He listened.

00:03:16.000 All the other GOP left.

00:03:18.000 It was a show of solidarity to send a very important, I think, and clear message is that this is the party that we have, that it has chosen its side.

00:03:29.000 This is the party of Donald Trump.

00:03:31.000 You saw Lindsey Graham, Senator Lindsey Graham.

00:03:33.000 We call him Weather Vane Graham over here at the Charlie Kirk show because any way the wind's blowing, there you'll find Lindsey Graham.

00:03:40.000 He's right about some stuff.

00:03:41.000 He's wrong about some stuff.

00:03:43.000 At the end of the day, he saw the way the wind was blowing and said, we cannot grow without Donald Trump.

00:03:51.000 The GOP cannot grow without Donald Trump.

00:03:53.000 Liz Cheney disagreed.

00:03:55.000 Let's go ahead and play Clip 51. 1.00

00:03:59.000 51.

00:04:00.000 Attacks against our democratic process and the rule of law empower our adversaries and feed communist propaganda that American democracy is a failure.

00:04:12.000 We must speak the truth.

00:04:15.000 Our election was not stolen and America has not failed.

00:04:20.000 Okay, so there she is, proudly still waving the flag that, hey, Donald Trump's an insurrectionist.

00:04:30.000 This isn't true, folks.

00:04:32.000 And you cannot have leadership within your party that is spreading propaganda that the left has planted in the mainstream news media to destroy the Republican Party.

00:04:44.000 She has become a mouthpiece of the opposition.

00:04:47.000 We call this controlled opposition.

00:04:50.000 Most of you probably know what that is, but just for the sake of it.

00:04:55.000 Controlled opposition is merely the impression that there is an opposition party.

00:05:01.000 So we're happy with conservatives so long as they do what we say.

00:05:06.000 We can control them.

00:05:08.000 And this is exactly what you have with Liz Cheney.

00:05:13.000 You've got Nancy Pelosi supporting Liz Cheney.

00:05:18.000 You've got the Washington Post coming out in support of Liz Cheney.

00:05:21.000 You've got blue check Twitter coming out in support of Liz Cheney.

00:05:25.000 She's the good Republican.

00:05:29.000 Interestingly enough, we see the same thing happening with former President George W. Bush.

00:05:33.000 He's one of the good Republicans.

00:05:36.000 Never mind that we attacked him viciously for eight years and called him all sorts of terrible names and attacked his character, attacked his intelligence.

00:05:48.000 Now he's one of the good ones because he's standing up against mean old Donald Trump.

00:05:52.000 This narrative that we are beholden to this personality, this cult of personality in Donald Trump is simply not true. 0.95

00:05:59.000 What we are beholden to is the first politician in 50 years that came across our paths that actually did what he said he was going to do, that actually fought for the American people, that put our country first, that put our values first, and said to hell with you, media, to hell with you, fake news.

00:06:16.000 And I apologize for using strong words here, but sometimes it has to be said.

00:06:20.000 And said, I'm going to do it.

00:06:23.000 I'm going to do what I said I was going to do, no matter what you tell me I am, no matter the bad names you fling at me, no matter the roadblocks that you throw in our path, no matter the investigations, no matter the obstruction from Congress, I'm going to move ahead with the agenda.

00:06:38.000 And what was the result?

00:06:40.000 The result was unprecedented economic strength.

00:06:43.000 It was peace in the Middle East.

00:06:45.000 It was security at our southern border. 0.84

00:06:48.000 It was controlled immigration, especially illegal immigration, which is a complete and utter disaster now.

00:06:56.000 So I don't want to hear it anymore from these mainstream news media hacks and from Liz Cheney in Wyoming, completely out of touch with her own voters, that says we are beholden to a cult of personality, that we have to kiss the Trump throne.

00:07:11.000 No, we like results.

00:07:14.000 We like people that have courage and action that aren't just trying to lob missiles at every foreign adversary that steps in our path.

00:07:21.000 The warmonger Liz Cheney.

00:07:24.000 You know, Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton are going to get along fantastically when she writes her memoir and they can compare notes about what really happened and that sort of thing.

00:07:33.000 I want to play one more clip.

00:07:35.000 Somebody approached Liz Cheney after the vote and they asked her if she felt betrayed.

00:07:40.000 Let's go ahead and play clip 49.

00:07:43.000 Do you feel betrayed by today's vote?

00:07:45.000 I do not.

00:07:46.000 I think that it is an indication of where the Republican Party is.

00:07:50.000 And I think that the party is in a place that we've got to bring it back from.

00:07:54.000 And we've got to get back to a position where we are a party that can fight for conservative principles, that can fight for substance.

00:08:01.000 We cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.

00:08:07.000 The very dangerous lie of the former president.

00:08:11.000 Well, Representative Cheney, I'm going to have to break with Sebastian Gorko if he's disappointed on the progress that's being made on the election integrity front.

00:08:22.000 But I want to say there's actually a lot of progress happening.

00:08:24.000 There's a lot of bills in state houses all across the country.

00:08:27.000 Some have been passed.

00:08:28.000 DeSantis in Florida.

00:08:31.000 Georgia passed one, obviously. 0.95

00:08:33.000 Jim Crow 2.0, all the gaslighting, all of this ridiculous nonsense they spew about, even though it's completely wrong, this ahistorical opining from the left. 0.81

00:08:46.000 Liz Cheney, this big lie that you're talking about, again, you're spouting the left's talking points. 0.94

00:08:53.000 No wonder they love you so much.

00:08:56.000 Well, guess what?

00:08:58.000 This was an unprecedented election.

00:09:00.000 Guess what?

00:09:01.000 There was gaming of the system, drop boxes, private money coming into public elections, mail-in ballots to everybody on planet Earth.

00:09:11.000 I know, and everybody has these stories.

00:09:13.000 You guys send us the emails.

00:09:14.000 We see it all the time.

00:09:16.000 You got multiple ballots.

00:09:17.000 You know, friends that got multiple ballots.

00:09:19.000 There were drop boxes that weren't monitored.

00:09:22.000 And yes, there's questions about some of the tallying.

00:09:25.000 And that's what that's happening.

00:09:27.000 We're going to see the results out of Maricopa.

00:09:28.000 But there is progress being made on this front.

00:09:30.000 It was not a big lie.

00:09:32.000 It's a big old question.

00:09:33.000 Will the GOP rise to the occasion or not?

00:09:35.000 And Ms. Cheney, you have been standing in the way.

00:09:38.000 So good riddance to you, Ms. Cheney.

00:09:42.000 I'm not sad about this.

00:09:43.000 And she's not going to last in Wyoming.

00:09:46.000 She's not going to last. 0.98

00:09:47.000 So rise up, primary challengers, because it's happening and she's going to be gone.

00:09:54.000 Look, for many of you that watch our live stream or our radio show, listen to our radio show, you know I talk about Relief Factor a lot.

00:10:01.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:10:07.000 That can do it.

00:10:08.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.

00:10:10.000 They are on a mission.

00:10:11.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.

00:10:14.000 Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.

00:10:21.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:10:22.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.

00:10:33.000 So go to relieffactor.com.

00:10:35.000 That's relieffactor.com.

00:10:36.000 The Talbots are amazing people.

00:10:37.000 Check it out.

00:10:38.000 ReliefFactor.com.

00:10:42.000 You know, I think about this image that went viral across the internet of Joe Biden, Joe Biden, sitting in a room with the former president, Jimmy Carter, and his wife.

00:10:57.000 And they look like giants next to these 90-plus-year-old.

00:11:03.000 I think Jimmy Carter's 96, his wife 93.

00:11:07.000 So, you know, and weirdly, it's turned out to be prophetic.

00:11:12.000 You know, a lot of Democratic presidents have actually sort of snubbed Jimmy Carter.

00:11:17.000 They didn't pay him the due that, you know, some might expect of a former president.

00:11:24.000 Nevertheless, this is what we have.

00:11:27.000 You know, Joe Biden was touring, I think, nearby and made it a point to go out of his way and visit the former president.

00:11:37.000 And, you know, it's an interesting thing.

00:11:41.000 You know, Jimmy Carter oversaw the malaise of the late 70s.

00:11:47.000 He got trounced by Ronald Reagan, obviously in 1980.

00:11:52.000 But most Americans today, I mean, there was a whole new crop, the generation, that don't remember this.

00:11:56.000 They haven't read the textbooks.

00:11:57.000 They haven't read the history.

00:11:58.000 Nobody's told them that, you know, we've come to the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden.

00:12:08.000 We have Biden inflation.

00:12:09.000 That's right.

00:12:10.000 I just put Biden and inflation together, pass it on, use it, tell your friends.

00:12:13.000 Biden inflation.

00:12:15.000 It's his that he owns, and it took only 100 days for us to get here.

00:12:20.000 Why?

00:12:20.000 Because we'd already juiced the economy last year, and I think there was some rationale for doing it here at the show.

00:12:26.000 We were always against doing it.

00:12:28.000 You can go back in the archives of the Charlie Kirk show and look back at the first stimulus that was suggested.

00:12:34.000 And we said, no stimulus, just stop locking us down.

00:12:37.000 Let the economy come back. 0.74

00:12:38.000 This is ridiculous. 0.61

00:12:39.000 I'm really proud of that, actually, is that this show from the beginning called it like it was, even with President Trump in the White House. 0.97

00:12:46.000 We said, this is a terrible idea.

00:12:48.000 Nevertheless, it happened.

00:12:50.000 You had no production going on.

00:12:53.000 The entire economy was shut down.

00:12:55.000 And in the meantime, we've printed a third of all dollars that are in existence.

00:13:01.000 Well, Jimmy Carter was famous for stagflation, where you had massive inflation with little productivity.

00:13:09.000 And what we're seeing now, and some might argue this is a bull whip effect, that there were supply chains that were disrupted.

00:13:17.000 This is why you're seeing the costs of lumber go up and other hard, durable goods.

00:13:24.000 But, you know, we forget that this stagflation had real impact on Americans.

00:13:32.000 Not only that, you had rising crime all across the country.

00:13:35.000 It was not a good time to be in America.

00:13:37.000 I think we look back on this American of old with nostalgia, but it was not a good time to be in America.

00:13:43.000 It actually, this was the, Jimmy Carter oversaw the highest misery index ever recorded in American history.

00:13:51.000 People were miserable under Carter, and he rightly got trounced.

00:13:55.000 Now, what I find so prophetic about this image, it's just, it almost makes me laugh now if it wasn't for the fact that it's a little bit tragic.

00:14:04.000 I mean, but sometimes you got to laugh at these things, folks.

00:14:06.000 We got to keep our heads up.

00:14:07.000 We got to stay positive.

00:14:10.000 But just how much bigger Joe Biden was in that image.

00:14:14.000 I mean, it was an optical illusion, so we're told.

00:14:18.000 It was a camera angle.

00:14:19.000 It was a lighting thing.

00:14:20.000 It's the fact that Jimmy Carter is a slighter human.

00:14:24.000 But, you know, it's not like Joe Biden's very, you know, it's not like he's a spring chicken.

00:14:28.000 He's probably lost a few inches over the years.

00:14:32.000 But ironically, in that image, he was a giant compared to Carter.

00:14:38.000 So there's two things that stand out.

00:14:39.000 Jimmy Carter actually lived long enough to see a president who is worse than him in all the same ways.

00:14:46.000 And that he is a giant compared to Carter.

00:14:50.000 What we're seeing the makings of is more international instability.

00:14:56.000 You see that all over what's happening in Gaza and Tel Aviv and all over Israel. 0.63

00:15:01.000 You're seeing an emboldened terrorist network, the Palestinians, and you're seeing Palestinian Rashida Talib cheer them on and Ilhan Omar and Bernie Sanders. 0.85

00:15:11.000 You're seeing an emboldened terrorist network in the Middle East that's going to stir up more disruption, more instability. 0.89

00:15:20.000 And you've got rising inflation that keeps surprising our experts, quote unquote.

00:15:25.000 The elites are surprised.

00:15:28.000 They have been surprised about everything that we have been warning about on this show and other voices in the conservative movement, of course.

00:15:34.000 They keep being surprised.

00:15:35.000 Well, they shouldn't be.

00:15:37.000 It's common sense.

00:15:39.000 Unfortunately, common sense has left the building.

00:15:44.000 Is it time to stop renting and buy your first home?

00:15:48.000 Owning your home is an investment in your future.

00:15:51.000 And with today's low rates, now is the time to do it.

00:15:53.000 Often with mortgage payment, it's the same as rent.

00:15:55.000 So why pay for someone else's mortgage payment?

00:15:58.000 Going through the mortgage process for the first time means you're going to have lots of questions.

00:16:02.000 You need someone you can trust.

00:16:04.000 I recommend Andrew and Todd at AndrewandTodd.com.

00:16:08.000 They are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:16:10.000 These guys are honest, trustworthy professionals who can answer all of your questions and walk you through the entire process.

00:16:17.000 They help first-time homebuyers and put the actual plan together.

00:16:20.000 And because Andrew and Todd are bankers, not brokers, Andrew and Todd and their team personally work with you from the start to finish.

00:16:26.000 You always have someone in your corner.

00:16:28.000 I've heard amazing things about Andrew and Todd.

00:16:31.000 So take the first step towards home ownership.

00:16:33.000 You know you want to.

00:16:34.000 Just go online and answer a few questions at andrewandtodd.com.

00:16:38.000 That's andrewandtodd.com.

00:16:44.000 Go to andrewandodd.com, andrewandtodd.com.

00:16:48.000 Joe Biden is the new Jimmy Carter.

00:16:51.000 You know, and I find that really interesting because he wanted to be FDR.

00:16:56.000 Maybe even Woodrow Wilson, who was an utter disaster.

00:16:59.000 Frankly, I think both of them were problematic.

00:17:02.000 FDR, I give a hat tip for his leadership throughout World War II, of course.

00:17:07.000 But the guy grew the federal government in tremendous sizes.

00:17:10.000 In fact, it may have inspired some hope within the country during the Great Depression, some of his New Deal plans, but it really didn't raise, it didn't really get us out of the Great Depression.

00:17:21.000 What got us out of the Great Depression was the war.

00:17:24.000 Okay.

00:17:25.000 So a lot of failed policies that we've doubled and tripled down on, grown the bureaucracy for the many decades since.

00:17:34.000 Nevertheless, this is still one of the more celebrated figures on the left.

00:17:38.000 And so Joe Biden wanted to be FDR.

00:17:40.000 He wanted to prove to his naysayers, the people that always dismissed him, that he was more progressive.

00:17:45.000 He was going to leave a bigger progressive legacy than Obama, who is always living in the shadow of Obama.

00:17:54.000 But this was going to be different.

00:17:56.000 Joe Biden had a plan to actually go further than Obama ever did, to institute even more radical change.

00:18:05.000 He saw the Obama presidency as a lot of swings and misses, a lot of woulda-coulda-shoulda's.

00:18:10.000 And he was going to make that right. 0.57

00:18:12.000 He was going to prove that he was not just some gaff-tastic, middle-of-the-road, milquetoast old white guy.

00:18:22.000 No, he was going to show AOC that he meant business.

00:18:25.000 And Bernie Sanders, he was going to show him too.

00:18:29.000 And so what are we living through?

00:18:32.000 So predictably, we are seeing the destabilizing force of a weak man on the international stage.

00:18:43.000 One of those ways that we haven't talked about is happening on the Eastern seaboard.

00:18:48.000 We brushed on it, but we haven't really talked about it in depth on this show.

00:18:54.000 And that's the cybersecurity attack on the pipeline, the colonial pipeline that is the largest pipeline in the United States.

00:19:02.000 It's 5,500 miles long, and it transports approximately 45% of all fuel consumed on the East Coast.

00:19:11.000 And it runs from Texas to New Jersey.

00:19:14.000 So what are we seeing as a result of this hacked pipeline?

00:19:19.000 Which, by the way, I just have a thousand questions about.

00:19:23.000 Why, I mean, why, you know, listen, let's just say this before we keep moving on.

00:19:29.000 If they could hack a pipeline, don't you think bad actors could hack a bunch of things, a bunch of other things that are very central to our democracy?

00:19:39.000 Let's just leave it there for right now because I don't want to get off track here.

00:19:43.000 All right, so we're seeing this, these reports.

00:19:45.000 This is from Twitter, Patrick Dehan.

00:19:48.000 Florida updates 73% of Pensacola stations, no gasoline.

00:19:53.000 44% of Tallahassee stations, no gasoline.

00:19:57.000 15% of Gainesville stations, no gasoline.

00:20:00.000 North Carolina updates 78% of Greenville, Spartansburg, Asheville, Anderson stations, no gasoline.

00:20:07.000 72% of Raleigh-Durham stations, no gasoline.

00:20:10.000 71% of Charlotte stations, no gasoline.

00:20:13.000 Greenville.

00:20:14.000 Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport.

00:20:17.000 All the same story.

00:20:18.000 Georgia has declared an emergency here.

00:20:20.000 They're going to be relieving, I guess, the gas tax at state level to make it more affordable because as everybody's rushing to get gas, as these worries spread, well, people are buying more gas and the stations know they can charge more.

00:20:36.000 And so listen to this.

00:20:40.000 This is the perfect show of weakness from the Biden administration.

00:20:40.000 This is Joe Biden.

00:20:44.000 Let's play Clip 53, saying that this is a cost benefit.

00:20:49.000 And consumers have to weigh that.

00:20:51.000 Let's go ahead and play Clip 53.

00:20:53.000 So first, we recognize that victims of cyber attacks often face a very difficult situation, and they have to just balance often the cost-benefit when they have no choice with regard to paying a ransom.

00:21:04.000 Colonial is a private company, and we'll defer information regarding their decision on paying a ransom to them.

00:21:11.000 Would the administration offer any advice on whether or not to pay a ransom?

00:21:16.000 So typically that is a private sector decision, and the administration has not offered further advice at this time.

00:21:22.000 All right, so I got that a little bit wrong.

00:21:24.000 She was talking about the actual ransom that is being asked of the pipeline, the colonial pipeline.

00:21:30.000 But this is, I mean, that's just an insane thing to say.

00:21:33.000 It doesn't matter that I got it wrong in the first place.

00:21:36.000 The context is different, but the insanity is actually even more extreme.

00:21:42.000 Pay ransom.

00:21:43.000 So the Biden administration has no guidance on this, that they should pay a bunch of hackers ransom.

00:21:49.000 Listen, you do not negotiate with terrorists.

00:21:51.000 You do not accept the premise that they set.

00:21:54.000 They accept ours.

00:21:56.000 That's called peace through strengths.

00:21:57.000 That's called stability through strength.

00:22:00.000 This is an absolute, utter national embarrassment.

00:22:05.000 But it all fits, doesn't it?

00:22:08.000 One of the first things, and we talked about in the last segment how it was this weirdly prophetic picture of Joe Biden posing with Jimmy Carter and how he's basically become Jimmy Carter 2.0, which is worse, on steroids.

00:22:22.000 It's weird to think now, and a little creepy, to be honest, that the first thing that Joe Biden did when he came into office was he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline.

00:22:33.000 Tucker had some great thoughts on this.

00:22:34.000 Let's play Cut 56 about gas prices and the pipelines.

00:22:40.000 Remember that on his first day in office, Joe Biden shut down a pipeline.

00:22:44.000 That's the first thing he did.

00:22:45.000 It was the massive Keystone XL pipeline.

00:22:48.000 Joe Biden didn't wait for mysterious hackers to shut it down.

00:22:51.000 He shut it down himself and more than 11,000 people lost their jobs.

00:22:55.000 And by the way, gas prices went up.

00:22:57.000 In case you haven't noticed, gas prices have never gone down.

00:23:00.000 In the state of California, the average price of a gallon of gasoline is over $4.

00:23:04.000 A year ago, it was $2.70.

00:23:06.000 In Illinois, gas is $3.20 a gallon.

00:23:09.000 Last year, it was $2.10.

00:23:11.000 It's not just two big liberal states, it's the entire country.

00:23:15.000 So think about that.

00:23:16.000 Gas prices are, when you adjust for inflation, is the highest they've been since 2008 when we were having other problems that, frankly, Georgia W. Bush contributed to, and then Obama was oversync.

00:23:33.000 But listen, we talk about, we're talking about Biden inflation.

00:23:37.000 You've got to think about these wallet issues for everyday Americans.

00:23:42.000 So, not only can you not get gas in a lot of places on the eastern seaboard right now, and you've got panic ensuing, you've got prices going through the roof.

00:23:51.000 Then you've got durable goods also shooting up.

00:23:54.000 There's reports that it's going to cost for the building of an average house is going to cost 30 to 40% more as a result of increased lumber costs.

00:24:07.000 These are real indicators of inflation that are going to hit you in the pocketbook.

00:24:16.000 Now, the only upshot from this possibly is that people are going to start realizing that the Democrats are utter and complete disaster, and they have no business being anywhere close to power because they refuse to acknowledge basic math.

00:24:28.000 As a matter of fact, they think math is racist.

00:24:31.000 Well, folks, this is what happens when you think math is racist.

00:24:35.000 If you just assume that one plus one equals five, then don't be surprised when inflation comes knocking at your door.

00:24:41.000 Don't be surprised when the things that you own are going, or the things that you want to own are going to cost more.

00:24:49.000 And don't be surprised when the wage that you're bringing home no longer cuts it and you can't make your ends meet.

00:24:58.000 Well, the point of all of this is it was all by design, wasn't it?

00:25:03.000 That's the real point here.

00:25:05.000 And think about how creepy this is.

00:25:07.000 It's all by design.

00:25:09.000 They want to destabilize the old way of doing things so that they can revolutionize it and create a new way to do things.

00:25:19.000 Even in Texas, remember the ice storms in Texas?

00:25:24.000 They said that you had AOC going on Twitter saying, this is because the greedy oil companies haven't been doing their part to protect the grid.

00:25:35.000 No, this was because perverse incentives from a top-down federal government said that non-oil companies didn't have to maintain the grid.

00:25:44.000 The grid, they were trying to incentivize green energy in Texas.

00:25:48.000 Windmills and turbines, all of that stuff ended up coming in, patching into the Texas grid, but they didn't have any skin in the game to uphold it and maintain it.

00:26:03.000 And that left a very precarious situation.

00:26:05.000 But guess what they did?

00:26:06.000 Instead of rightly identifying the problem, they blamed it on the greedy gas men.

00:26:11.000 Petroleum, fossil fuels, those are to blame.

00:26:17.000 Well, look what happens when we don't have a stable infrastructure when it comes to our energy.

00:26:23.000 Now, I can't say this enough, folks.

00:26:25.000 It took 100 days to go from energy independence to gas shortages on the eastern seaboard.

00:26:36.000 And then you throw on top of all of that the destabilizing force of a weak man in the Oval Office in the Middle East.

00:26:44.000 And if you don't think that is going to have repercussions on energy around the world eventually, then you're wrong, because that will be impacted as well. 0.60

00:26:53.000 So if we do not have energy independence here domestically, which we no longer do, and Joe Biden is going to make sure that we are not able to open up more resources, guess what happens when Iran really gets emboldened?

00:27:09.000 When this stops being an Israel-Palestine conflict, and it expands to then include places like Iran and Iran's other enemies. 0.58

00:27:21.000 What happens when the oil fields in Iraq are attacked again?

00:27:26.000 What happens when all of these other pieces of destabilizing forces come into the chessboard?

00:27:33.000 Folks, I hate to say it, but they don't want you to be able to get your gas.

00:27:39.000 There's already Biden officials lamenting the fact that not everybody has electric vehicles.

00:27:45.000 Because if they had an electric vehicle, well, then they could have just, you know, they could keep driving.

00:27:49.000 So this is all the more reason why you guys need to convert to electric vehicles.

00:27:52.000 Now, hey, listen, I'm all for it.

00:27:54.000 If you want to drive an electric vehicle, I think Teslas are really fun.

00:27:57.000 I think they drive really fast, and I think that's great.

00:28:01.000 But you can only go 200 to 300 miles on a single charge.

00:28:05.000 And guess where that energy often comes from?

00:28:07.000 That's coal and other fuel, fossil fuels, powering those battery charges.

00:28:12.000 So, folks, this is all by design.

00:28:15.000 They want you to feel destabilized.

00:28:18.000 And it's sad they're getting their way.

00:28:22.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is a number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?

00:28:29.000 My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.

00:28:35.000 And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.

00:28:37.000 That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.

00:28:41.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.

00:28:47.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

00:28:54.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they're not synthetic.

00:28:56.000 They fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.

00:28:59.000 When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.

00:29:03.000 With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.

00:29:09.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:29:36.000 We've been talking a lot about this Jimmy Carter connection.

00:29:38.000 And man, is it apt.

00:29:40.000 The deeper that you go into this story, the more you realize that, unfortunately for all of us, Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter 2.0.

00:29:49.000 And they weirdly predicted it in their own way by posing together when other presidents had sort of kicked Jimmy Carter to the curb because he was awful.

00:29:57.000 He had the highest average misery index of any modern president and he had the highest inflation.

00:30:03.000 So it was a double whammy.

00:30:05.000 Everybody was miserable and inflation was sky high.

00:30:08.000 There were certain bonds that were paying 21%, if you can believe that.

00:30:11.000 And in an era where we used a two and three and four percent interest, they were paying 20, 21 percent.

00:30:17.000 I think it was possible it even went higher than that.

00:30:20.000 I just want to leave you guys in hour two.

00:30:23.000 We have a Charlie has an interview in hour three that we pre-recorded.

00:30:27.000 So please, if you get hour three, check that out.

00:30:30.000 If not, you can always go to the podcast too, the Charlie Kirk show.

00:30:32.000 We have it there as well.

00:30:34.000 But I want to leave you with our hour two here with a simple premise.

00:30:37.000 It's an economic premise.

00:30:38.000 I was actually an economics major in college.

00:30:42.000 I love macroeconomics.

00:30:45.000 I think it's really, really fascinating.

00:30:47.000 And it's, again, it's math.

00:30:49.000 Math is not racist.

00:30:50.000 Math does not know skin color.

00:30:52.000 Math knows math. 0.89

00:30:52.000 Math knows numbers. 0.89

00:30:55.000 And what we had with the Carter years is something called stagflation.

00:30:58.000 We touched on it before, but listen here.

00:31:00.000 It's when prices are going up, but the economy is not expanding.

00:31:05.000 So we're stagnant.

00:31:06.000 We're not growing, but prices are going up.

00:31:09.000 So Reagan came in and he fixed that.

00:31:12.000 He put downward pressures on prices by increasing competition and increasing growth.

00:31:18.000 So how did he do that?

00:31:19.000 He reduced tax rates for all income earners, including the rich.

00:31:26.000 And he lowered taxes on corporations.

00:31:28.000 So what he did is he made it easier for corporations to create more product, to grow, to expand.

00:31:36.000 He made it cheaper to expand.

00:31:39.000 And by the way, as a result of the tax cuts, consumers had more money to spend.

00:31:42.000 So what's Joe Biden doing?

00:31:46.000 Joe Biden is pushing free giveaways to people, which is creating demand in the market.

00:31:56.000 But then he also wants to pay for those giveaways by raising taxes and also raising corporate taxes.

00:32:06.000 So he also, and then we're seeing this now today.

00:32:09.000 We're seeing that higher energy prices are coming.

00:32:11.000 Not only is he cutting exploration and cutting leasing on public lands, and freezing it, as a matter of fact.

00:32:20.000 Cut the Excel pipeline.

00:32:22.000 It says war on fossil fuels that are the most stable energy source in the country, in the world, in history.

00:32:33.000 So he's increasing corporate taxes.

00:32:36.000 He's putting all his money out there.

00:32:38.000 So he's also increasing demand.

00:32:40.000 So he's making it so that corporations have a fork in the road.

00:32:44.000 In order to lower prices, corporations, companies, manufacturers need to be able to cheapen the cost of doing business.

00:32:54.000 They need to make it cheaper in order to create more goods on the market.

00:32:58.000 When you create more goods, supply and demand says that prices are going to go down.

00:33:04.000 But what he's doing is he's creating a scenario where that's almost impossible.

00:33:09.000 Supply chains are all backed up.

00:33:11.000 The lockdowns continue in some way, shape, or form in many ways.

00:33:15.000 And he's telling them that I'm going to raise the prices.

00:33:17.000 So I'm going to reduce capital on the market.

00:33:20.000 I'm going to increase the national debt, which actually removes capital out of the market as well.

00:33:24.000 So you're taking this capital that companies use in order to make investments in their production lines and their production capabilities to hire workers as well, by the way.

00:33:35.000 He's taking that capital off the chessboard.

00:33:38.000 And when you do that, the only real way to keep up with this demand is to raise prices because it becomes too expensive to actually increase production.

00:33:48.000 So you have to raise prices.

00:33:51.000 That's what we're seeing.

00:33:52.000 There's not enough supply on the market and everybody's got all this money sloshing around.

00:33:56.000 So their demand is way high, but they can't increase production.

00:34:00.000 It is stagflation 2.0 coming and it's scary.

00:34:04.000 And we need to start calling it out.

00:34:05.000 And hopefully the media will actually report on this as it starts hitting the pocketbooks of everyday Americans because inflation is here, folks.

00:34:12.000 It's already here.

00:34:13.000 It's not coming.

00:34:14.000 It's already here.

00:34:17.000 Thanks, everybody.

00:34:18.000 I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

00:34:21.000 We are going to have a couple of surprises the rest of the week.

00:34:23.000 We've got Alex Marlow from Breitbart, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart, is going to be taking the mic tomorrow.

00:34:30.000 Really excited to have him.

00:34:31.000 So make sure you check that out.

00:34:32.000 We'll put it on the podcast.

00:34:34.000 Again, thank you for everybody that supports the show at charliekirk.com slash support.
