00:00:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:02.000And so right now, many of us who didn't vote for Israel's in this last foreign aid bill are getting hammered right now from the pro-Israel community saying, oh, we don't support Israel.
00:03:26.000And what that means to the American people is that everything that came out of this last foreign aid bill last week up on the hill, none of it was paid for.
00:03:35.000It's more debt on top of everything else that they shackle the American people with on an annual basis.
00:03:42.000So the first thing you liked, I agree.
00:03:45.000So we're kind of in the fall here, and immediately, you know, Speaker Johnson does his best punting, you know, where he says, okay, we're just going to kind of give me some time, give me some time.
00:04:18.000And unfortunately, and Charlie, I'm not going to tell you anything that I haven't told the speaker personally.
00:04:23.000So, you know, last just last week, in a phone call and in a meeting with 10 or 15 other people, I told the speaker that he has an integrity problem because he told the American people in our conference for several months that the border was the hill to die on.
00:04:42.000And clearly that didn't happen with the last piece of leverage that we had, which was Ukrainian funding and this supplemental, this supplemental bill that the Senate and Joe Biden wanted more than seemingly life itself.
00:04:58.000And I also told him that the base and our voters are screaming and they're begging for someone to fight for them and you're not getting it done.
00:05:05.000And so, you know, he knows he knows where I'm at.
00:05:10.000He knows where a lot of people are at.
00:05:11.000But unfortunately, Charlie, the speaker continually surrounds himself with other members of Congress and quite frankly, a bunch of staffers that continually tell him why he can't fight, why the time isn't now.
00:05:25.000We have to wait till we get, you know, the Senate back, the presidency back.
00:06:38.000The only thing I think I can say, Charlie, as far as a benefit to the country is the precedent has now been set, at least, that if you become speaker in January, that doesn't give you a free ride for the next two years to do whatever the hell you want.
00:06:52.000And so, you know, any speaker that now gets that gavel is on notice that if you, you know, especially at least with this group, if you make enough promises and then you don't fulfill them, if you continually sell out the American people and the timing's right, there's a good chance that there will be an effort to remove you.
00:08:39.000I think as a man of integrity, as a man with faith to tell the American people that on loop for months and then not deliver on any of that, that's a problem.
00:08:53.000And the American people, we're at a point now where it's not like there's three networks that people can, you know, watch anymore.
00:09:01.000There's so many other outlets that are showing, you know, the receipts like that.
00:09:13.000I think, personally, I think the thing that got Speaker Johnson elected in a very divisive Congress with a very slim majority was the fact that he's such a nice guy.
00:12:37.000And nobody made the argument on our end of this that FISA isn't often used to protect us from people that want to do harm to us.
00:12:47.000Our argument was that you need to insert some language into FISA that protects American citizens when their content, when they are wrapped up in, you know, when these tools are being employed against foreigners overseas, to where if our intel agencies, DOJ, et cetera, want to, you know, search and take a look at, you know, your content, they have to get a warrant to do it,
00:13:16.000just as if they would if they're searching your home or your car or anything else.
00:13:21.000And the argument, Charlie, Charlie, from the other side of the aisle is, oh, well, it's going to make it way too hard for these guys to do their job.
00:13:29.000You're going to stop, you know, you're going to stop our intel agencies from protecting the American people.
00:13:34.000And though they couldn't give us one instance where they were able to use these tools and they wouldn't have been able to get a warrant or it would have taken too long.
00:13:43.000And at the end of the day, you know, we need an overhaul of this system because do you have, just like guys like Tucker Carlson and others, obviously you've got a big bullseye on your back, Charlie.
00:13:55.000Do you have faith right now and confidence that they're not reading your stuff?
00:14:00.000Yeah, they're reading everything except for a couple apps.
00:14:02.000I think they don't yet have back-end access to.
00:14:15.000And so it's like, and there were hundreds of thousands of instances where, you know, the FBI alone, you know, was admitted to spying on American citizens.
00:14:26.000And they brag about that, though that was down from a million, you know, a couple years before.
00:14:31.000And it's just, it's unbelievable that we have Republicans that won't stand up to this.
00:14:36.000And we have, we know of, according to the Inspector General report, 278,000 violations of the FISA statute in one calendar year that we know of.
00:14:44.000It's probably even greater than that because that, you know, they cover it up and they lie about it.

00:16:03.000He talks a great game with the Constitution.
00:16:05.000He previously was a FISA skeptic and was against all this FBI power and DOJ.
00:16:11.000He got a couple, what I call woo-woo shows, where they kind of do a bunch of woo-woo and they bring in these Intel chiefs in a skiff with no phone, no staff, and kind of a song and dance.
00:16:22.000And all of a sudden he's like, Mr. Intel Agency.
00:16:34.000So this is what they do every single time we try and make any big moves up in Washington, D.C. You know, I've seen it on FISA.
00:16:41.000I've seen it with the speaker battle we had in January.
00:16:44.000And keep in mind, I'm obviously only a freshman, but anytime you try and make big moves in Washington, D.C., they've always got this boogeyman in the back room that they bring out to try and scare you from doing anything.
00:16:55.000And in this case, they'll take members of Congress down to the SCIF and they'll share with them classified stories of how FISA was used to protect Americans in this specific case, right?
00:17:11.000And clearly, I wasn't there for this meeting, but I know enough about the place to summarize and basically be like, well, Speaker, if you make any changes to FISA and there are attacks on U.S. soil and there's a loss of American life, basically the blood's going to be on your hands.
00:17:32.000And I think that's the way that a lot of these organizations and institutions control members of Congress and, quite frankly, leadership.
00:17:43.000Did you go down to the SCIF and yeah, I did.
00:17:45.000Yeah, because I mean, I want to interrupt because Mike Johnson said none of the members went down to the SCIF that are against FISA.
00:17:49.000Like, where does he come up with that?
00:17:51.000Well, I can't speak to what he said or what times he was talking about, but I've been down there multiple times to listen to, okay, what are they talking about?
00:18:15.000Not only that, Charlie, but because I've worked with military intelligence before, you know, I remember one time we were in Iraq and our Intel guys sent us out on a 18-hour mission.
00:18:30.000You're a Navy SEAL, just so we're clear.
00:18:50.000I guarantee that listening to your show that do a great job.
00:18:53.000All I'm saying is, is that, you know, it's like, at what point do we become so skeptical of these Intel agencies, the FBI, et cetera, to where we try and put some checks in place to make sure they're not becoming weaponized against the American people?
00:19:59.000Yeah, I think he could have been a hero.
00:20:02.000We could have got the warrant requirement, which would have been a major win for the movement.
00:20:05.000No, it would have been a huge win for the movement and the American people.
00:20:09.000I think that the excuses and the reasoning that I heard was if we do this, and obviously you've got Director Ray at the same time saying, hey, there's more threats on U.S. soil than we've ever had, which I actually believe because of our wide open southern border.
00:20:41.000We could have like drones of everyone's home.
00:20:43.000We could allow law enforcement officers just to come in your home without getting anyone because it would make their investigations easier, right?
00:21:02.000You cannot have liberty without privacy.
00:21:04.000And that was the breakthrough of the founders: is that the European countries do not have a Fourth Amendment like we do.
00:21:09.000And they were so grounded in classical wisdom, they said, wait a second, we need to make sure that not just can you say what you want to say and protect your stuff with firearms and against the government, but also make sure that they can't come into your home and get your private effects or journals.
00:21:24.000So he comes down and he's the tie-breaking vote.
00:21:26.000Can you just inform our audience, it's very rare for speakers to vote.
00:21:32.000And I think it was a statement vote to show the Intel agencies and even our conference that where Mike stood on this issue, which again was surprising because he sat on judiciary for so many years next to a congressman that is near and dear to much of Arizona, Andy Biggs.
00:21:54.000And when you see that many whistleblowers come through Congress talking about just some of the abuses that are going on in our federal agencies and then don't protect American people's constitutional rights when it's right in front of you and you are the key leader, you're a swing vote.
00:22:42.000And it just so happens that, you know, a certain member had the flu here from Arizona.
00:22:47.000It's like, oh my goodness, if she could have just been in D.C., we actually might have gotten a warrant requirement, but the FBI got what they wanted and they can spy on us relentlessly and nothing changed it.
00:22:56.000I can't remember, Charlie, but I think on that one, and we'd have to go back and look.
00:23:00.000I think there were two members, one from Guam, and maybe I can't remember the other place that voted that if it would, you know, if it would have gone the wrong way, would have had, we would have had to go back and revote.
00:23:13.000Do the Guam votes bind or are they just show votes?
00:23:16.000Yeah, I don't think that I don't think that they're binding.
00:24:03.000I think it showed solidarity with the president.
00:24:07.000Obviously, the president has been the leader of this movement for a long time.
00:24:10.000And so even his messaging this week against motion to vacate, I think that, you know, I think that shows where the president's at on Mike Johnson.
00:24:52.000Walk through the unprecedented nature of what Johnson did to make sure that Zelensky got his money.
00:24:56.000Well, I think you saw in the last Ukraine vote, I think the majority of the Republican Party, I believe, voted against Ukraine the last time that we voted on it.
00:25:07.000And so I think he knew he was going to have a problem.
00:25:11.000And I don't know about you, but I fully expected capitulation on this.
00:25:17.000I've just seen the signals the entire time.
00:25:30.000Yeah, the way it kind of works is he'll bring in like, you know, 15 members of the House Freedom Caucus or adjacent members, and we'll talk to him about our concerns on FISA or Supplemental.
00:25:40.000And then the next group that comes in will be your, you know, more your Warhawks appropriator types.
00:25:48.000Yeah, so, you know, I've just seen, you know, history is always a good tell of where somebody's going to go in the future.
00:25:55.000And so I've seen the capitulation and, you know, the move towards the Uniparty almost every single time, except for the Israel, you know, IRS bill.
00:26:07.000The very first thing he did, other than that, I've seen this capitulation every single time.
00:26:17.000Eli4Arizona.com, a lot more to unpack on that because he went to Democrats for rules and rules changes, and he defied Republican voters, which ties into Eli's viral, Eli's viral crip.
00:26:38.000But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.
00:26:41.000Insanely high interest rate credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.
00:26:46.000There's a new way out of the debt trap, pivotal debt solutions.
00:26:50.000Pivotal debt solutions isn't like the old school debt relief companies that string your debt out for years.
00:26:55.000They have new aggressive strategies that can end your debt faster and easier than you thought possible.
00:27:01.000With pivotal debt solutions, you can cut or even eliminate interest, find programs to write off your balances so you owe less, stop these threatening phone calls, and without bankruptcy and without a loan.
00:27:11.000Bottom line is they find every solution possible to end your debt permanently.
00:27:15.000Before you do anything, contact Pivotal Debt Solutions first to talk to them for free.
00:27:19.000Find out how fast they can get you out of debt.
00:27:29.000So just to kind of finish the, let's just say the timeline, and then I want to get into solutions and sending better Republicans, is that this was force-fed on the American people despite the unpopularity in the Republican Party.
00:27:44.000And D.C. operates on agreement, not disagreement.
00:27:47.000It is a divided Congress, but it actually isn't that divided on the main priorities of the regime.
00:27:54.000And that's why we talk about the Uniparty all the time.
00:28:00.000And on the biggest votes, especially when it comes down to spending and often foreign wars and things like that, the Unit Party, Republicans and Democrats often move in lockstep to accomplish the agenda of the Unit Party.
00:28:38.000You know, they might find out that for you, Charlie, you know, you want to be on judiciary, you want to be on a certain committee or you have, you know, dreams of being in leadership.
00:28:47.000Well, hey, Charlie, we'll help you do that, but we need you.
00:29:19.000I mean, it's the most powerful, it's the most powerful country in the history of the world.
00:29:24.000Of course, we're not immune to the same techniques that have been used since the beginning of time.
00:29:32.000So the Ukraine vote was a huge disappointment.
00:29:36.000It is also, do these members really feel as if they don't care about their voters that much?
00:29:41.000Because 85% of Republican voters don't want this.
00:29:45.000I can't really figure it out, Charlie, if it's a combination of, hey, they just really want to be on the team and maybe they have aspirations of higher political office one day and they don't want to piss off the powers that be, or if they're still stuck in the timeframe that you and I grew up in where, you know, we grew up watching Rambo and Rocky and all these movies where the Russians were the bad guys, right?
00:30:10.000And they haven't really evolved and gotten out of that mentality.
00:31:08.000Our solution, the Republican Party, we're going to dial that down to 90 miles per hour, but we're still driving this thing off the cliff.
00:31:15.000Just we're backing it down a couple degrees, and it's pathetic.
00:31:20.000If you want to help us, start paying attention.
00:31:24.000And please quit sending politicians up here who come to your town, who come to your Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner talking about fiscal responsibility, border security, and then they vote on this crap repeatedly.
00:31:56.000And it's ironic because that bill, that piece of paper I was holding up, that was the last Omni.
00:32:02.000And now the Uniparty is hitting me and running commercials against me for voting against that Omni.
00:32:08.000Because in an Omni, Charlie, that was just a one-pager of all the bad stuff in it.
00:32:14.000But in an Omni, there were over a thousand pages.
00:32:17.000It was about this thick, filled with a bunch of nonsense, pork, special interest, spending, way overspending, spending money on other people's borders, not our own.
00:32:27.000And then in there, of course, there's a couple things in there.
00:32:30.000You know, they'll sprinkle something in there for the Border Patrol, sprinkle something in there for the military, and that's how they get you.
00:32:35.000So if you vote against it, if you vote against you, boom, Charlie Kirk doesn't care about Border Patrol.
00:32:40.000And that's, and that's why I said start paying attention because if you don't pay attention, it's so easy for the swamp to gaslight voters just by all they have to do, Charlie, is raise three, four, five million dollars, run a bunch of commercials or radio ads in your district.
00:32:54.000And then the mom or the dad who's so busy with kids and life, that's all they see.
00:32:59.000And so they get when they go to the ballot box.
00:33:01.000They say, oh, Eli Crane's Eli Crane doesn't care about the border.
00:33:31.000And what I meant by that, it'd be really hard for me to save Speaker Johnson with my vote if Marjorie Taylor Greene triggers this motion to vacate.
00:33:40.000But I will go into it, and I will tell you this.
00:33:43.000I don't think the timing is really good.
00:35:56.000Somebody that votes exactly the same way, leads in the exact uniparty way, but starts kicking conservatives off all their committees.
00:36:03.000And if you like oversight, if you think oversight's important, if you like seeing, you know, me railing on Secretary Mayorkis or, you know, somebody going after Dr. Fauci, a lot of that could go away if you have a vindictive.
00:36:16.000And that's how Boehner and Paul Ryan governed.
00:36:18.000Boehner more than Ryan, Ryan, even more than.
00:36:21.000And the other thing I'll say on that, Charlie, I think there's really only one person that maybe this audience and the MAGA America First Movement would get behind.
00:36:30.000And that, you know, that's probably Jim Jordan that could get elected, that's electable, that's even in the universe of who, you know, who we would find acceptable.
00:36:40.000And the appropriators and the war hawks that kept Jim Jordan from being speaker last time are still there.
00:36:48.000And so let's say, first of all, I think this motion, I don't think, I think it fails.
00:36:54.000Even if it passes, I think there's a chance that we get a worse speaker than we have now.
00:36:59.000And I would say the last thing, if we were to do this, those of us that are being targeted by the old speaker now are being targeted by the new speaker and all the other organizations.
00:37:09.000And so I think you lose some of your best, or you stand a better chance of losing some of your best fighters in the process for a failed motion.
00:37:53.000But like I said, if you if you end up fighting on too many fronts, I think you end up, not only do you lose the motion to vacate vote, but then there's a good chance that you lose some of your best fighters in the process.
00:38:12.000I am because I don't have higher political aspirations.
00:38:16.000And I didn't think that this was going to be a long, I didn't think I was going to be a career politician anyway, but we still got work to do.
00:38:24.000And so the DC machine grinds on regardless of the will of the people.
00:38:30.000I want to talk about how we actually fix this and the most helpful things.
00:38:35.000And that's the most, there's reinforcements, right?
00:39:23.000For years, I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families.
00:39:31.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with Turning Point Academy, the Herzog Foundation.
00:39:39.000From their online publication, The Lion, to the new podcast Making the Leap, the Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your children.
00:43:31.000So compliment our audience here because they need that.
00:43:33.000No, you guys are more powerful than you think.
00:43:36.000I've literally seen almost fist fights break out in our conference, which is not something that you would respect when everybody's trying to be a hoity-toity gentleman.
00:43:45.000But yeah, it happens because when these guys go home after a vote like Ukraine and you guys blow them up on social media, you guys blow them up in town halls.
00:43:55.000I honestly think it's one of the reasons that there's people that are retiring, Charlie, early.
00:44:05.000I hate voters that don't like it when I sell them out up in Washington, D.C., but you guys are effective.
00:44:10.000And I know that you guys don't feel that way.
00:44:13.000Sometimes I struggle in not feeling that way, Charlie, but I just wanted to let you guys know that, you know, members, we hear members talk about, you know, blown up.
00:44:24.000Because the impression that some people in the audience have, I don't, is that they don't listen.
00:45:23.000So I guess you've touched on this, Eli.
00:45:24.000I'm going to repeat the question in a different way, the essence of the question a different way, which is how do we then get the voters' will more in alignment with the representatives?
00:45:34.000Because I would be depressed if the voters' will was like, okay, we're 10% of the party.
00:45:39.000No, we're a major, we are the vast, vast majority of the party.
00:45:42.000We just don't have that reflected or mirrored in our membership.
00:45:46.000Yeah, I think that it starts with education.
00:45:50.000And that's why I love the fact that people actually watch these shows because this is where this is where you guys get the real down and dirty on what's going on and not some little scripted, you know, only donor sponsor approved talking points.
00:46:11.000And, you know, you guys, you guys don't have to throw in your life savings.
00:46:16.000But if you can throw in like 10 or 15 bucks on these race I talked about with Timmins in South Carolina and then Tony Gonzalez down in Texas, you know, it does go a long way and it means a lot because these guys, the swamp and the unit party, they require, they count on the massive donors double maxing to them and giving them like, you know, like $6,600 or whatever it is.
00:46:43.000But when we come out in force and we throw 10, 15 bucks in each, we're able to keep up with that because we actually have the.
00:47:08.000And so these guys, because they, and this is why it's so important that we keep, we don't have to match them dollar per dollar, but we have to keep it close so that they can't completely overwhelm us with the text messages, the radio ads, the TV ads, et cetera.
00:47:24.000And we just have to be able to keep up with them.
00:47:47.000And just because you don't live in the state of a good rep, I was opening mail yesterday, Charlie, and several people were writing me from all over the country saying, thank you.
