00:00:47.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:49.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:52.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:55.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:56.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:57.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:06.000 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.
00:01:15.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:18.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:27.000 What are your plans for Christmas?
00:01:28.000 Hopefully, your plans are to spend time with your family.
00:01:32.000 You might say, Charlie, it's so far off.
00:01:34.000 Why are you talking about Christmas?
00:01:35.000 Ah, Christmas and plans for Christmas and the New Year's is currently the most important thing overshadowing the upcoming legislative calendar and legislative fights.
00:01:52.000 I've been around for about 11 years, and I could tell you that time off for Christmas is a very big deal for people in Washington, D.C.
00:02:04.000 The idea that they might have to work through Christmas, thou shalt never lift a finger during the Christmas season, is one of the commandments of the Unit Party in Washington, D.C.
00:02:15.000 That is where they get all of the graft and the trips and the praise.
00:02:20.000 It's where they get to go home and enjoy the excesses of being a member of the ruling class.
00:02:28.000 Taking time off for Christmas has been a time-honored tradition of the last couple decades.
00:02:36.000 Right near Christmas is where you get the real garbage passed.
00:02:41.000 That's where you get the thousand-page spending bills of CRs that go for 18 months. 0.67
00:02:47.000 Pork insider deals.
00:02:50.000 Every agency getting special bonuses because everyone wants to go home for Christmas and no one wants to be the Grinch that stole Christmas.
00:02:58.000 Now, mind you, remember back that is when Newt Gingrich shut down the government.
00:03:04.000 People forget this.
00:03:04.000 Newt Gingrich shut down the government.
00:03:07.000 In fact, he was on the front page of Time magazine.
00:03:09.000 You guys can find it.
00:03:10.000 The Grinch or the Gingrich that stole Christmas.
00:03:14.000 When the government shut down right before Christmas, Newt Gingrich leveraged Christmas break to get real spending cuts.
00:03:21.000 We got a balanced budget for the first time in decades.
00:03:26.000 Last time we got a balanced budget was because Speaker Gingrich used the leverage of Christmas break to shut it all down.
00:03:33.000 But in the last couple of years, specifically the last decade, Christmas has been an opportunity to take advantage of lawmakers' desire to get on a flight, go home, and say, it's all good.
00:03:50.000 The government is funded.
00:03:52.000 Our friends are paid off.
00:03:54.000 All the little crony cutout deals have been administered.
00:03:57.000 Don't make me work beyond about December 18th or 19th.
00:04:01.000 And they could push that envelope a little bit.
00:04:03.000 Maybe December 20th, December 21st, December 22nd, maybe. 0.99
00:04:09.000 But boy, if you're asking a lawmaker to work December 23rd, you'll have a revolt.
00:04:13.000 Now, Donald Trump did it a little bit with the tax bill, and there were some very unhappy lawmakers.
00:04:19.000 We have to have our Christmas break.
00:04:21.000 We want to get back to Christmas break.
00:04:22.000 Meanwhile, the country is burning.
00:04:24.000 The border is open.
00:04:25.000 We are bleeding money, $33 trillion in debt.
00:04:30.000 And understand the tape we're about to play for you with Speaker Johnson and a lot of the lawmakers saying, well, maybe we need a CR.
00:04:37.000 Any excuse they give, what's really the issue is that they don't want to have to demand their members to work through Christmas.
00:04:45.000 That their comfort, their trip back home, having a nice breath for Christmas is far more important than the well-being, the vitality, or the longevity of the United States of America.
00:05:00.000 So you must understand that because they're going to be saying a lot of different excuses.
00:05:03.000 And here's where we are.
00:05:04.000 Speaker Johnson, praise God that he's Speaker of the House, biblical worldview, godly man.
00:05:09.000 He is now caught up in a whirlwind of what it's like to actually run a Republican Congress in the midst of a uniparty swamp.
00:05:20.000 Speaker Johnson is saying, well, look, we might have to just do one more.
00:05:24.000 Just one more continuing resolution.
00:05:27.000 We just got to do one more all the way through January 15th.
00:05:31.000 Why is that?
00:05:33.000 It's obvious he doesn't want to make people work through Christmas because he says, well, we need some breathing room.
00:05:40.000 No.
00:05:41.000 No breathing room.
00:05:43.000 Work through Christmas.
00:05:46.000 You guys have destroyed this country through complacency and some intentional behavior.
00:05:55.000 Work through Christmas.
00:05:57.000 You get no Christmas break.
00:05:59.000 The people that you are harming put you in D.C., not that you could have nice trips and enjoy the pleasantries of life and the luxuries of being a congressman.
00:06:11.000 Mike Johnson says, look, well, we need some breathing room.
00:06:13.000 No, breathing room.
00:06:14.000 Shut down the government.
00:06:15.000 12 spending bills.
00:06:17.000 Stay in D.C. through Congress through Christmas, not a day off.
00:06:21.000 That is what a serious country would do.
00:06:23.000 They'd say, wow, we had 8 million illegals come into this country under Biden.
00:06:26.000 We're $33 trillion in debt.
00:06:28.000 We're borrowing $2 trillion a year.
00:06:30.000 Our kids are killing themselves in record numbers.
00:06:33.000 We have opioid deaths and we have inner city gang violence.
00:06:36.000 A lot of our kids can't read.
00:06:38.000 We're on the verge of two regional wars that could become a world war.
00:06:42.000 We have the trans woke ideology infecting our military. 0.94
00:06:46.000 We have Jack Smith out of control.
00:06:47.000 Maybe our Christmas break needs to take a back seat for the well-being of the nation.
00:06:52.000 Here's Speaker Johnson saying that he favors a continuing resolution through January 15th.
00:06:58.000 Now, I'm not doing this to make you feel disappointed in Speaker Johnson, because to be honest, I'm not disappointed.
00:07:03.000 I told you guys he was going to let you down, and he is letting you down.
00:07:07.000 A CR would be an absolute letdown to every single one of you that thought things were going to change.
00:07:13.000 This is business as usual.
00:07:16.000 Imagine if Republicans said, no, we're going to stay in D.C. We're going to do Christmas in D.C. We'll fly our families in.
00:07:21.000 We're going to come in and have a Christmas in Washington, D.C., and work for the American people.
00:07:27.000 Too bad.
00:07:28.000 Doesn't matter if you guys wanted to go home to Birmingham or Tallahassee or Dallas this year because the stakes are so high and Congress has not worked for literally over a decade.
00:07:39.000 We are going to put it on our shoulders.
00:07:40.000 We're going to get it done.
00:07:41.000 Instead, Speaker Johnson, and he's probably just kowtowing to the, you know, the clamoring of the old bulls.
00:07:48.000 You better not make us work during Christmas.
00:07:51.000 I want to be able to go home.
00:07:54.000 I want to be able to watch a bowl game or whatever they do while the country collapses.
00:08:01.000 Play Cut 10.
00:08:02.000 Would you be comfortable then with a short-term funding bill that funds the government, say, until January or perhaps April?
00:08:09.000 Is that something that you're considering?
00:08:13.000 Well, I've talked to my colleagues about this in the race for the speaker's race.
00:08:18.000 I mentioned that I would favor, for purposes of discussion, to build consensus around, if there indeed has to be a stopgap funding measure, that we would do that until January 15th.
00:08:29.000 And the reason for that is it gets us beyond the end-of-the-year push.
00:08:33.000 And oftentimes, the Senate tries to jam the House and force an omnibus spending bill.
00:08:38.000 We're not doing that here anymore.
00:08:39.000 We're having single-subject bills in our separate appropriations bills.
00:08:43.000 So there's some really good in that statement, and then there's some troubling.
00:08:46.000 He's talking about single-subject bills, but he's looking at this all wrong.
00:08:49.000 He's looking as if the Senate will have leverage over you.
00:08:52.000 Speaker Johnson, you have to put the leverage on the Senate.
00:08:55.000 Don't play defense, play offense.
00:08:57.000 That's the issue right now.
00:08:58.000 Don't even, here's what he should have said, in my personal opinion.
00:09:01.000 Maria, no CR.
00:09:03.000 We're working through Christmas. 1.00
00:09:04.000 Put your working boots on.
00:09:05.000 Memo is out to Pelosi, Jeffries, AOC.
00:09:08.000 If you guys want to go up and have a Christmas break, so be it.
00:09:11.000 We're working here.
00:09:13.000 What Speaker Johnson should do is he should say, I've signed out a notice to all Republican members to change their Christmas plans.
00:09:18.000 We're working through the end of the year.
00:09:19.000 Christmas in D.C. Bring it on.
00:09:22.000 You remember when President Trump shut down the government and he spent Christmas literally in Washington, D.C.?
00:09:28.000 He spent Christmas in the White House, shut down the government.
00:09:31.000 He said, I'm going to take responsibility.
00:09:32.000 I'm going to stay in D.C.
00:09:33.000 He did that over the border, by the way.
00:09:36.000 Now, they've already done five out of 12 individual bills, spent three weeks on the speakers thing, but now I have to get another excuse.
00:09:42.000 Oh, well, because we spent so long on the speakers thing, we have to punt for a CR in January.
00:09:47.000 Unacceptable.
00:09:48.000 Not going to happen.
00:09:49.000 Shut down the government.
00:09:50.000 No more CRs.
00:09:51.000 No more excuses.
00:09:52.000 I'll tell you right now.
00:09:53.000 You go to January, and then what does Maria say?
00:09:55.000 Oh, just go to April.
00:09:55.000 Then they're going to say it's an election year, polling.
00:09:58.000 Let's just go to December.
00:10:00.000 They never actually do the thing.
00:10:02.000 It's always an excuse.
00:10:04.000 No more.
00:10:04.000 Line in the sand, red line.
00:10:06.000 You have plenty of time.
00:10:07.000 Get to work.
00:10:08.000 Get to work and start delivering results for the American people.
00:10:12.000 Use leverage.
00:10:14.000 Work 24-7 now and you can even finish before Christmas.
00:10:18.000 But that would require lawmakers doing something they don't want to do, which is get in the room, go through budgets, do not even, they won't even do zero-based budgeting, but any form of budgeting that's not a CR.
00:10:30.000 Speaker Johnson, draw a line in the sand, shut it down if it's necessary.
00:10:35.000 No more CRs.
00:10:39.000 Strong cell is amazing.
00:10:40.000 I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.
00:10:46.000 You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?
00:10:49.000 How do you just keep on pushing?
00:10:51.000 Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.
00:10:56.000 Fact check me on this.
00:10:57.000 You can say, oh, Charlie, I'm going to fact-check you.
00:10:59.000 Type this into your search engine: NADH.
00:11:04.000 Just type it in.
00:11:05.000 What does it tell you?
00:11:06.000 It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy.
00:11:11.000 All of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.
00:11:14.000 NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.
00:11:20.000 The elites, a lot of billionaires, people with a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.
00:11:24.000 It's a fact.
00:11:24.000 NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.
00:11:28.000 I take NAD every single day.
00:11:30.000 I could tell you that NADH, compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things.
00:11:36.000 Don't take my word for it.
00:11:37.000 I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something.
00:11:39.000 But fact-check me.
00:11:40.000 Look at it.
00:11:41.000 And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy.
00:11:44.000 I wake up better than ever before.
00:11:46.000 NAD can help you potentially, again, fact-check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with.
00:11:53.000 It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity.

00:12:24.000 I love this email I just received.
00:12:27.000 Charlie, I spent 28 years working as a paramedic.
00:12:30.000 I spent many a Christmas on duty because we were needed to be there for our community.
00:12:35.000 Congress needs to work, especially in the times we are in now.
00:12:38.000 What a powerful point.
00:12:40.000 How many police officers work on Christmas?
00:12:43.000 A lot.
00:12:43.000 They work on Thanksgiving.
00:12:45.000 People in the ER work on Christmas.
00:12:48.000 Why can't Congress work on Christmas?
00:12:50.000 Are they better than us?
00:12:51.000 Well, they think they are.
00:12:53.000 A lot of people work on Christmas.
00:12:55.000 I've worked on Christmas before.
00:12:56.000 I've worked on Thanksgiving before.
00:12:58.000 Yeah, it's not ideal.
00:12:59.000 It's not fun.
00:12:59.000 You just do it.
00:13:01.000 They have had every Christmas off for the last 10 or 20 years.
00:13:05.000 And yes, part of it is symbolism.
00:13:09.000 Part of it, you could just be like, look, we care so much that we're not going to go home.
00:13:14.000 And here, we all know what happens.
00:13:16.000 Christmas is the time when all the graft comes in.
00:13:19.000 I guarantee you when Menendez got paid off on all those gold bars by the Egyptians, it was probably during Christmas. 1.00
00:13:24.000 It's when the graft was just flowing, the gravy train was flowing.
00:13:28.000 These guys come home and they're treated like heroes by the ruling class.
00:13:33.000 Thanks for that government contract, pal.
00:13:36.000 They don't want to be in DC in the room.
00:13:40.000 Now, I mentioned this last week, but it's worth repeating.
00:13:44.000 Speaker Johnson is making it seem as if he does not have leverage.
00:13:50.000 And again, I'm cheering for Speaker Johnson.
00:13:51.000 Godly man, new to the job, can't be bought and paid for.
00:13:55.000 So let's just take a step back.
00:13:57.000 The media and the establishment type say, but we don't control the Senate and we don't control the White House, so we only have so much leverage.
00:14:06.000 That is, of course, technically true, but hold on.
00:14:09.000 Beep, beep, back up, back up.
00:14:12.000 We mentioned last week that there's a little bit of a secret weapon right now.
00:14:17.000 The secret weapon are four red state Democrats that are hoping, that are praying for a Christmas CR.
00:14:28.000 There are four people, four that are right in the middle of very serious challenges to their reelection.
00:14:40.000 They want a Christmas miracle.
00:14:42.000 You know who is begging and pleading for no tough votes before Christmas?
00:14:47.000 You know who wants nothing more than actually having to reform the federal budget and close the border?
00:14:55.000 Our four Democrats that are up in 2024 that need to become household names.
00:15:02.000 Speaker Johnson needs to name them in every single interview.
00:15:08.000 Yes, we don't control the Senate, but the Senate majority contains four Democrats that are up in 2024 in red states.
00:15:20.000 Only one of them is probably not called red, maybe red state that's Arizona, but three of them are very red states.
00:15:25.000 And they are, of course, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Democrat up in 2024.
00:15:30.000 John Tester of Montana, Democrat up in 2024, Joe Manchin in West Virginia, Democrat up in 2024, and Kirsten Sinema, Democrat Independent up in 2024.
00:15:43.000 Speaker Johnson needs to ignore the noise and zero in on these four like a surgical laser strike and force them to take tough votes.
00:15:55.000 So the best case scenario is they actually defect away from Chuck Yu Schumer and you might actually get some legit border enforcement funding, not just paperwork funding, but some real changes in the budgetary process.
00:16:11.000 That would be great for the country.
00:16:13.000 Or you force these four Democrats to have to challenge leadership and you might actually get the Senate to not be a far left-wing Democrat Senate, but maybe a neutral center-right Senate because these four right there, Tester Cinema, Manchin, Sherrod Brown, they are in the hot seat and they have not received nearly enough media attention.
00:16:33.000 All of it's been about, well, you know, we have tough votes in the House.
00:16:36.000 No, You have to play offense.
00:16:38.000 If you're not playing offense, you're losing.
00:16:40.000 What does Solinsky say?
00:16:42.000 Keep the pressure on.
00:16:43.000 Now, our side doesn't game anything out.
00:16:45.000 Our side doesn't have a war room.
00:16:46.000 They don't have, you know, any sort of whiteboards.
00:16:49.000 The RNC is too busy partnering with NBC News with debates, literally.
00:16:54.000 But if we game this out, we said, what is the leverage we have?
00:16:56.000 Okay, we control the House by a couple seats, but the Democrat majority is not actually a traditional Democrat Senate majority.
00:17:03.000 Four of the members in the Democrat majority who are up in very tough reelection fights in states, three of which states that Donald Trump won by double digits, Ohio, Montana, West Virginia, have three and four, if you count cinema, very nervous Democrats, very nervous Democrats that don't want to take tough votes.
00:17:23.000 So Speaker Johnson should go up and do a press conference and say our entire legislative agenda will be focusing on Kirsten Cinema, Joe Manchin, Sherrod Brown, and John Tester.
00:17:33.000 And interestingly enough, that would actually get the turtle, McConnell, really excited because the turtle wants to become Senate, well, allegedly wants to become Senate majority leader again.
00:17:42.000 He would love to focus on putting them on defense, use the small majority and leverage it into a bigger issue and force those four red state Democrats to do some work for once.
00:17:54.000 Don't bail them out with a Christmas miracle.

00:18:30.000 Check it out right now, relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com.
00:18:36.000 So one of the legislative priorities right now of Speaker Johnson, understandably, is to get funding to Israel.
00:18:43.000 Let's play cut two.
00:18:45.000 As soon as I took the gavel, our work began, and we passed the resolution, as you noted, in strong support of our strong ally and great friend, Israel.
00:18:55.000 We had to do that.
00:18:56.000 And then I flew last night to Las Vegas and spoke to the Republican Jewish Coalition, as you noted, to send a further signal that this isn't a priority for our country.
00:19:05.000 We cannot allow the brutality and just unspeakable evil that is happening against Israel right now to continue.
00:19:12.000 We're going to stand with our friends.
00:19:14.000 I agree with that.
00:19:15.000 So there is bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress, and they are clamoring to spend $14 billion to Israel.
00:19:22.000 Now, I'm going to kind of just be the little bit of the wet blanket.
00:19:24.000 Can we get a budget of where that money is being spent and what it's going to be spent then?
00:19:28.000 I'm all for helping Israel, all for it.
00:19:30.000 I just want to know where that money's going.
00:19:31.000 We shouldn't get in the habit of just sending money abroad with no idea where it's going.
00:19:36.000 We did that with Ukraine. 0.97
00:19:37.000 Bad idea.
00:19:38.000 Israel is obviously much closer to the United States and our interests than Ukraine, but we have to do a much better job of auditing and getting financial and fiscal answers whenever we spend money abroad.
00:19:49.000 Number two, since there is bipartisan support on this, Speaker Johnson say, okay, Israel funding with border funding.
00:19:49.000 That's number one.
00:19:58.000 Why is that controversial?
00:20:01.000 Why would that be controversial?
00:20:03.000 Put Israel plus border. 0.81
00:20:05.000 Now, understand the border funding must be very precise because just more border funding for people to do paperwork processing, that's not good enough.
00:20:12.000 It needs to be border security and very strictly written.
00:20:16.000 So when the Biden regime tries to ignore the law, you could sue in court and enforce it.
00:20:21.000 Israel should, of course, be secure and supported.
00:20:25.000 But America needs to be secured first and foremost.
00:20:28.000 So therefore, you have the U.S. Congress that wants to send a foreign country $15 billion, and they should, by the way.
00:20:37.000 So partner with that and put border funding with it and say, hey, you want to go spend $15 billion abroad to go secure Israel's borders.
00:20:46.000 Why don't you want to do a dollar to secure our own border?
00:20:50.000 Should be very simple, by the way.
00:20:51.000 It's not saying one is not important.
00:20:54.000 It is, though, saying that it is the United States of America that we should secure our own country.
00:20:59.000 Now, this is going to be considered to be super controversial.
00:21:03.000 And I just want to make sure you guys are all understanding.
00:21:06.000 This should not be a big issue, guys, okay?
00:21:09.000 If a foreign country, regardless of how admirable and important that struggle is, is more important than the security of your own country, you have a very serious problem. 0.87
00:21:19.000 You got a real serious problem.
00:21:20.000 I mean, you really don't have a country at that point.
00:21:23.000 You're basically a globalist ATM piggy bank for other nations.
00:21:29.000 Now, if I was in the center of the Congress, I would vote for money for Israel.
00:21:32.000 I think it's important.
00:21:33.000 Of course it is.
00:21:35.000 Again, it's $14.3 billion in aid, $10 billion for assistance to the Department of Defense, including air and missile defense support, industrial base investments, and replenishment of U.S. stocks being drawn down to support Israel.
00:21:48.000 The aid aims to booster Israel's air and missile defense system, Iron Dome.
00:21:54.000 $3.7 billion for State Department to strengthen Israel's military and enhance U.S. embassy security.
00:22:00.000 That seems a little high.
00:22:01.000 $3.7 billion for embassy security.
00:22:05.000 Why should it be easy?
00:22:07.000 I'm just asking, I'm not saying this sarcastically.
00:22:09.000 Why is it easy to get consensus to send money abroad, but it's very difficult to even get a dollar to secure your own domestic nation?
00:22:22.000 And I'm not one of those guys that says, oh, Israel is nothing.
00:22:25.000 No, no, no, no.
00:22:25.000 I'm just, I'm being, I'm asking a very simple moral and political question.
00:22:31.000 Why the controversy about America, but the enthusiasm for Israel?
00:22:40.000 Let's play another piece of tape here.
00:22:42.000 Play cut 11, please.
00:22:45.000 What is your response?
00:22:46.000 And have you spoken to the president about his request to tie the money together between Israel and Ukraine?
00:22:53.000 Well, listen, we are going to move a standalone Israel funding bill this week in the House.
00:22:58.000 There are lots of things going on around the world that we have to address, and we will.
00:23:02.000 But right now, what's happening in Israel takes the immediate attention, and I think we've got to separate that and get it through.
00:23:09.000 I believe there'll be bipartisan support for that, and I'm going to push very hard for it.
00:23:13.000 Okay, so we're trying to split Israel and Ukraine.
00:23:15.000 That's fine.
00:23:16.000 But if I'm going to use Speaker Johnson's own words, immediate attention, doesn't our U.S.-southern border demand immediate attention?
00:23:26.000 Now, this is not the same thing, because what happened in Israel was a targeted genocide of the Jewish people.
00:23:36.000 But it is fair to say that an open border has contributed directly and indirectly to hundreds of thousands of American deaths.
00:23:46.000 They're not exactly the same thing.
00:23:48.000 The cartel is coming in and killing Americans, but they're not going in and killing 1,400 intentionally and putting babies allegedly in ovens, which is a new story.
00:24:00.000 I don't know if it's confirmed or not.
00:24:01.000 I heard on Mike Gallagher's show.
00:24:03.000 But it is fair to say that sleeper cells could be coming across the southern border, that we could have sleeper cells in the United States.
00:24:10.000 Hamas might be in America because we don't have border security. 0.83
00:24:14.000 And we already know that we have the drugs and we have the guns and we have opioids, we have fentanyl, we also have the criminals and the narco-traffickers. 0.80
00:24:23.000 We know that.
00:24:25.000 I want you to email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:24:29.000 How do we get to a place?
00:24:32.000 And how should we think about being in a political situation where the agreeable thing to do is to send money abroad, but the disagreeable thing is to secure your own nation?
00:24:46.000 Hamas is a threat to the United States, so that is one of a hundred reasons to secure our own border. 0.99
00:24:53.000 You see, the anthem that propelled Donald Trump to victory in 2016 of America first is not just a catchy slogan.
00:25:04.000 It is the base of the modern Republican Party and should be the base of any country.
00:25:10.000 And so this really could reveal an identity crisis.
00:25:14.000 And I want to make my position clear for the fourth or fifth time.
00:25:18.000 I'm not even saying you shouldn't vote for the Israel funding package.
00:25:21.000 I'm not saying that we should leave Israel to fend for itself.
00:25:25.000 But I'm also not a citizen of Israel, nor am I a voting member of the Knesset, nor are your elected officials.
00:25:32.000 Their first obligation is to America and the nation.
00:25:36.000 And if you believe that Israel and our border are international interests, then you should wrap them together into a funding bill.
00:25:44.000 Wouldn't that make sense?
00:25:46.000 But instead, they're going to say that this is too controversial.
00:25:51.000 Why are you trying to tie up Israel funding to something that could be considered to be not consensus?
00:26:03.000 You have people that have sworn an allegiance to the United States of America.
00:26:08.000 They've been sworn in as office holders to the United States of America that are demanding a deemphasis of the American sovereignty and the American nation and an emphasis of a separate foreign country.
00:26:22.000 It would be one thing if we didn't have 8 million people coming into America.
00:26:28.000 8 million people have illegally crossed into America under Joe Biden so far.
00:26:32.000 And I am exhausted with our leaders treating our home and our own nation as an ATM machine for foreign wars and pet projects, even though this one is a noble one, Ukraine one is not. 0.90
00:26:46.000 This is a noble venture.
00:26:48.000 It's a righteous one.
00:26:50.000 But even noble and righteous projects should be put on a list of second, third, fourth, or fifth of priorities when the country that you actually live in, the country that maybe your kids or grandkids will live in, is being overrun and invaded.
00:27:08.000 So therefore, shouldn't it be easy to do both?
00:27:11.000 Oh no.
00:27:12.000 Congress is going to want just a clean Israel spending bill.
00:27:16.000 And while I will voice support for that, if that ends up happening, I'll be disappointed that the border was not taken as seriously as that.
00:27:27.000 You cease to exist as a country if you don't govern in the best interest of your country.
00:27:34.000 We've basically become the American colony. 0.59
00:27:37.000 People from all over different parts of the world don't speak the same language, don't have the same values.
00:27:43.000 We have a good, robust economy, and we basically distribute funding and throw them out like frisbees.
00:27:49.000 It's a colony of earth, less than a nation.
00:27:52.000 People come here, impose their values on us, extract our wealth, and then want us to send their money abroad.
00:28:01.000 The same way the Spanish Empire famously harvested silver from New Spain.
00:28:07.000 If we still are a country, which we are less and less, we're more just kind of a rough mixture of a colony.
00:28:15.000 50 or 60 years ago, 70 or 80 years ago, they'd say, hold on.
00:28:20.000 If our own nation is being invaded, let's do a clean bill on that.
00:28:24.000 And then we can worry about our allies.
00:28:26.000 And maybe we could do both at once.
00:28:29.000 But you are called a bad person.
00:28:31.000 In fact, I'm going to be attacked for this segment because I want my own country to be secure, even simultaneously with assisting the foreign country.
00:28:41.000 That should expose how sick and poisoned the American political system has become.
00:28:48.000 My kids will live and die here in America, not in Israel. 0.95
00:28:52.000 That should matter.
00:28:54.000 And that should get our lawmakers' attention.
00:28:56.000 Instead, it won't.

00:30:02.000 Joe Biden's numbers are down 11 points among Democrats from 86% approval in September to 75% in October.
00:30:11.000 It's called Biden's 1979 moment, Axios writes.
00:30:14.000 Three destabilizing overseas crises have taken place during the Biden presidency.
00:30:19.000 The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia's invasion, and of course, what is happening in Israel.
00:30:24.000 The base of the Democrat Party, they don't like Jews.
00:30:29.000 They might hide it and they say, oh, you know, we like, you know, Palace, the Palestinian Authority and all this, but there is a fair amount of Jew hatred.
00:30:37.000 There is really no other way to square it.
00:30:40.000 Now, interestingly enough, most American Jews are members of the Democrat Party.
00:30:46.000 There's a lot of reasons for this.
00:30:47.000 Happened post-FDR.
00:30:50.000 They've been led to believe that the American right are fascist, like the Nazis, and so they must oppose it.
00:30:56.000 There is a serious, what I hope is an awakening, or could at the very least just be exposure of fault lines or a political earthquake in the American Jewish community.
00:31:08.000 Now, the American Jewish community is not large in number.
00:31:11.000 There's what, five or six million American Jews, many of which in New York and Florida, a lot in the North Shore of Chicago.
00:31:18.000 The American Jewish community is very, very powerful in American politics, of who they support, and yes, in the policy shaping of the Democrat Party.
00:31:33.000 And so Joe Biden has a decision to make.
00:31:35.000 Joe Biden's base is very sympathetic with the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Gaza wing.
00:31:44.000 Joe Biden's donors are far more sympathetic with Israel.
00:31:53.000 So Joe Biden is a balancing act.
00:31:55.000 Now, Donald Trump never had a balancing act with this because the base of the Republican Party is actually far more supportive of Israel than the base of the Democrat Party.
00:32:06.000 This is what I always laugh when I talk to some of these liberal Jews. 1.00
00:32:09.000 They say, oh, there's such a problem with anti-Israel hatred on the right.
00:32:13.000 I said, what are you talking about?
00:32:14.000 If anything, it's the opposite.
00:32:16.000 In fact, the criticism is that the American right might be too pro-Israel at times.
00:32:20.000 I don't believe that, but that's the criticism that is usually put forward.
00:32:25.000 Trump is beloved in Israel, gave back the Golan Heights, moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
00:32:29.000 So that's not true.
00:32:30.000 So Joe Biden is trying to split the metaphorical baby, and he is not, he's not succeeding.
00:32:36.000 Joe Biden had a safe space with a bunch of Muslims in the White House about two and a half weeks ago, just assuring them that everything's fine in Gaza.
00:32:45.000 Joe Biden is playing both sides of this.
00:32:48.000 And threading the needle is not going well.
00:32:50.000 His numbers are collapsing.
00:32:52.000 Now, understand that for those of you that care about Israel, those of us that care about Israel, and more specifically Jews that care about Israel, the future is not very bright. 0.56
00:33:03.000 All the nonprofits that many secular Jews and even religious Jews have been supporting, it is not moving the dial.
00:33:09.000 There is more anti-Israel sentimentality amongst both young conservatives and young liberals than ever before.
00:33:18.000 America's demographic transition is an anti-Israel transition.
00:33:23.000 And yet secular Jews keep on pumping money into these nonprofits, keep on pumping money into these organizations. 0.88
00:33:30.000 And I'll say it again.
00:33:32.000 America's demographic transition is an anti-Israel transition.
00:33:38.000 The third world sees Israel as a colonizer, as an oppressor. 0.83
00:33:42.000 And so while you bring more and more Hispanics into America, they don't like Israel. 0.99
00:33:48.000 They look at Israel as an oppressor on the oppressed.
00:33:54.000 And so long term, those of you and those of us that care about the future of the Holy Land and the future of Israel, it's not good.
00:34:01.000 And Joe Biden knows that his base is vehemently anti-Israel.
00:34:07.000 And of course, Israel is seen as part of the West.
00:34:09.000 So the base of the Democrat Party hates the West.
00:34:11.000 So why would they want to continue supporting Israel? 0.85
00:34:14.000 Richmond, California just voted to support Palestine and Hamas.
00:34:18.000 And Richmond, California is one-third foreign. 0.97
00:34:22.000 One-third of Richmond, California is foreign-born.
00:34:24.000 Now, what is even more interesting is that secular Jews have been the most enthusiastic for open border policies the last 50 years, more so than almost any other group of people.
00:34:36.000 And secular Jews, being supporters, both financially and also politically, of the importing of the third world, are now realizing that that big heart of compassion that they allegedly had for the third world is now subsidizing the downfall of America. 0.94
00:34:54.000 Interestingly, they never wanted open borders for Israel, but they wanted open borders for America.
00:34:58.000 Why?
00:34:58.000 Remains a mystery.
00:35:00.000 But the future of the fight for Israel, it's not looking too good.
00:35:05.000 And Joe Biden's experiencing the beginning stages of that.
00:35:10.000 Their good intentions can lead to a blind spot and the subsidizing of Jew hatred. 0.73
