The Charlie Kirk Show - Mike Johnson’s Deep State Sell-Out

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody, what do we make of the absolute betrayal this weekend that happened in Congress?

00:00:06.000 Mike Johnson doing this in the name of God?

00:00:08.000 Wait till I tell you his fundraising appeal.

00:00:10.000 He says he's doing all this in the name of God.

00:01:39.000 What type of government do we have?

00:01:42.000 We are told that we have a representative form of government, a constitutional republic.

00:01:50.000 For those of you that watch the show, you know that I have right here every single day the United States Constitution, our turning point USA version, mind you.

00:01:59.000 Don't worry, we don't change any words.

00:02:02.000 Embedded in this document is a contract.

00:02:06.000 It's a contract that starts with we, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.

00:02:20.000 To ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

00:02:29.000 Now, allegedly, the people are the sovereign in this country.

00:02:34.000 That you give your power to a representative that goes to D.C. and votes on your behalf.

00:02:43.000 That your will is somehow reflected in the legislative priorities in Washington, D.C. What happened this last weekend was repulsive.

00:02:54.000 It was repulsive legislatively.

00:02:55.000 It was repulsive from a policy perspective.

00:02:57.000 It was repulsive from a moral standpoint.

00:03:00.000 But I want to start with a major concern that I have, which is the sustainability of our republic.

00:03:09.000 We do not have a representative form of government any longer.

00:03:12.000 We have something else.

00:03:13.000 You can try to come up with a term for it.

00:03:15.000 I think oligarchy is probably the closest.

00:03:19.000 But the form of government is not representative.

00:03:21.000 The vast majority of Americans do not want more money to send to Ukraine.

00:03:24.000 They want to see this war ended.

00:03:26.000 They want to see a peace deal.

00:03:27.000 The vast majority of Americans, regardless of political party, want to see the southern border secure.

00:03:32.000 They don't want to see us continual borrowing money.

00:03:36.000 The American people are fired up about what happened this last weekend.

00:03:40.000 They're flying Ukrainian flags on the House floor, which should be illegal, by the way, to fly a foreign flag on the floor of the U.S. Congress while our own country is disintegrating. 0.66

00:03:55.000 But this one piece of tape summarizes the fault line in D.C. better than anything else.

00:04:02.000 Understand that the problem with Washington, D.C. is there's far too much agreement, not disagreement.

00:04:10.000 Do you hear me?

00:04:12.000 There is far too much agreement, not disagreement.

00:04:17.000 We're told that D.C. is so broken and divided.

00:04:21.000 That's all performative.

00:04:24.000 In reality, D.C. works better than ever before for the elite technocrats, for the oligarchs.

00:04:32.000 This last weekend, Speaker Mike Johnson made a decision.

00:04:37.000 Speaker Mike Johnson made a decision to accelerate Joe Biden's foreign aid bill, to rush it through the House, forsaking the 72-hour rule, going and siding with Democrats on passing of the rule.

00:04:56.000 With zero wins on the southern border, Mike Johnson decided to double and triple down on a lie that he told me privately and publicly, that there will be no Ukraine funding without border security.

00:05:08.000 Well, we have no border security.

00:05:10.000 He abandoned all of his leverage.

00:05:12.000 This is after he decided that the Fourth Amendment doesn't matter anymore.

00:05:15.000 This is after that he said the founding fathers were wrong about privacy protections.

00:05:21.000 Now, if you go to any U.S. citizen and ask them about Ukraine, chances are they'll say, yeah, I think we're spending too much money.

00:05:29.000 We should probably focus on the homeland.

00:05:31.000 We should secure our border and we should put America first.

00:05:35.000 That transcends political lines, believe it or not.

00:05:38.000 That is not a right-wing talking point.

00:05:41.000 But understand that the power center in D.C., they thrive on agreement, not disagreement.

00:05:48.000 They might shout at each other over abortion.

00:05:51.000 They might shout at each other over guns, but that's all theatrics.

00:05:57.000 When it comes down to what really matters, protecting big corporations, keeping our borders wide open, and relentlessly invading foreign countries and funding wars that have nothing to do with us, D.C. finds harmony.

00:06:14.000 Representative from Oklahoma, Tom Cole, went on CBS Face the Nation, and he paints a completely different picture.

00:06:24.000 If you go to a local GOP meeting right now, regardless if it's in Wooster, Massachusetts, Duluth, Minnesota, or Flagstaff, Arizona, they're fired up right now on Speaker Johnson.

00:06:35.000 They're fired up with Republicans.

00:06:37.000 Why don't you represent me?

00:06:39.000 Why don't you fight for me?

00:06:42.000 But the opposite is true amongst the members of the House.

00:06:47.000 Tom Cole puts it perfectly.

00:06:49.000 He says that there is now a reservoir of goodwill for Speaker Johnson.

00:06:55.000 Congress is more confident in their position than ever before.

00:07:03.000 They don't care about the people.

00:07:06.000 They don't believe they're ever going to be displaced from power.

00:07:09.000 They don't think they're ever going to be primaried.

00:07:11.000 Maybe one or two might.

00:07:13.000 This is not a representative government.

00:07:16.000 It's something completely different.

00:07:18.000 Play cut 26.

00:07:21.000 This is politics.

00:07:22.000 There is such a thing as a vote no, hope yes crowd in every caucus.

00:07:26.000 I can go down that list and tell you the members have said, okay, you got the votes.

00:07:30.000 You don't need me.

00:07:31.000 So I think there's much more.

00:07:33.000 Well, it is five days.

00:07:34.000 Let's talk about politics.

00:07:36.000 I'm not critical of anybody.

00:07:37.000 Rally is we have overwhelming bipartisan support for each part of this package.

00:07:42.000 It was structured in a way that it allowed members to both make the points they wanted to make.

00:07:47.000 And frankly, if they needed political cover, do it.

00:07:50.000 But it got done.

00:07:50.000 So I'm pretty proud of the speaker.

00:07:53.000 He continues, the pride that he has acting as if the members that voted against Ukraine funding actually wanted it to pass as if this was not force-feeding the American people.

00:08:05.000 The people do not remotely want this. 0.97

00:08:08.000 Yet the imperial capital of D.C., the kingdom of Washington, D.C., is force-feeding this pile of trash down our throats. 0.98

00:08:17.000 And they basically then just taunt you. 0.96

00:08:19.000 It's like you're playing three-on-three basketball.

00:08:22.000 And they just say, what are you going to do about it?

00:08:25.000 Right in your face.

00:08:27.000 They are now taking victory lap after victory lap.

00:08:30.000 And wait till I read some of these headlines.

00:08:33.000 Let's play cut 27.

00:08:36.000 But the point is, I don't think there's unified Democratic support.

00:08:38.000 There was unified Democratic support to remove the speaker.

00:08:42.000 I think both sides have now seen how dangerous this is, how irresponsible it is.

00:08:47.000 And quite frankly, I think it's unlikely that Democrats who supported Ukraine, not as many supported Israel as we would have liked, but they did support Ukraine.

00:08:56.000 I think they're unlikely to remove the speaker over that.

00:08:58.000 Although, to be fair, they removed McCarthy after he did what he asked them to do, which was keep the government funded.

00:09:03.000 But again, I don't think that's going to happen in this case.

00:09:06.000 But if somebody wants to do it, it's within the rules and they can take their shot.

00:09:10.000 You hear what he said?

00:09:11.000 He said that Democrats and Republicans, they really like Speaker Johnson.

00:09:16.000 The power center of D.C. is built on agreement, agreement to keep the borders open, the wars continuing.

00:09:28.000 Let me summarize this for you.

00:09:30.000 The last 10 days.

00:09:31.000 The borrowing goes uninterrupted.

00:09:34.000 The spying will continue and the wars will never end.

00:09:39.000 Play cut 28.

00:09:41.000 But the point is, he's gotten a lot done.

00:09:43.000 I think people admire him.

00:09:44.000 They genuinely like him.

00:09:45.000 They all respect him.

00:09:47.000 Every single Republican voted for him.

00:09:50.000 I don't think any other person could have done that at the time other than Mike Johnson.

00:09:54.000 So the reservoir of goodwill is enormous.

00:09:57.000 I think he's much stronger than the people seem to think.

00:10:01.000 And I think he's demonstrated that by what he's passed.

00:10:04.000 The reservoir of goodwill.

00:10:06.000 This is a Republican from Oklahoma, head of the Appropriations Committee, a powerful Republican.

00:10:12.000 They're taunting you.

00:10:15.000 They won.

00:10:16.000 The country lost.

00:10:17.000 The people don't get their way.

00:10:19.000 And he basically says, take your best shot.

00:10:22.000 What are you going to do about it?

00:10:24.000 We're in charge.

00:10:26.000 You aren't.

00:10:27.000 And then he just shrugs his shoulders and says, good luck.

00:10:33.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.

00:10:37.000 If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.

00:10:46.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.

00:10:52.000 I take it every single day.

00:10:54.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.

00:10:56.000 I did the research.

00:10:57.000 Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen.

00:11:03.000 It's simple.

00:11:04.000 Every area of your body has cells.

00:11:06.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.

00:11:09.000 You don't have to take my word for it.

00:11:11.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.

00:11:12.000 After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.

00:11:19.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.

00:11:22.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.

00:11:25.000 At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.

00:11:30.000 I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years.

00:11:33.000 And since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.

00:11:38.000 Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.

00:11:41.000 So there it is.

00:11:42.000 You've heard from me directly and some of the users who have seen their lives changed by Strong Cell.

00:11:47.000 I personally recommend taking it every day for at least 30 days.

00:11:51.000 I take it every day before I go on the air, and it's helped me in more ways than I can even name.

00:11:55.000 Each of our bodies is very different.

00:11:56.000 So I would recommend you give the supplement at least two to three months to see the changes in your body.

00:12:28.000 Who is Speaker of the House?

00:12:29.000 Again, if you want just nice talking points, there's other shows for that.

00:12:32.000 This is tough stuff.

00:12:33.000 You got to dig in.

00:12:34.000 I'm going to tell you the good news, by the way.

00:12:36.000 There's some good news about all this.

00:12:37.000 And the good news is that this outrageous display this last weekend does help Trump, and Trump is going to use it to his advantage.

00:12:46.000 And we'll get to that in a second.

00:12:47.000 But who's Speaker of the House?

00:12:49.000 We never took over the House.

00:12:52.000 That's the sad reality I have to tell you today.

00:12:56.000 It was all a mirage.

00:12:58.000 Speaker Jeffries is Speaker of the House.

00:13:01.000 Remember back in the fall when I said, if you remove Kevin McCarthy, you might get Speaker Jeffries.

00:13:05.000 Little did I know, he was already Speaker.

00:13:09.000 And I will say this: Kevin McCarthy was a better Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson.

00:13:16.000 Kevin McCarthy never pretended to be a Christian conservative.

00:13:20.000 Kevin McCarthy did not pretend to be one of us.

00:13:24.000 Kevin McCarthy was a D.C., ambitious political figure that was willing to cut deals with the base.

00:13:32.000 Kevin McCarthy feared his right flank and was willing to play ball.

00:13:36.000 Speaker Johnson doesn't fear his right flank.

00:13:39.000 Speaker Johnson has now gone more and more to the left and has built a uniparty coalition.

00:13:44.000 Remember when I said that you're going to get a consensus speaker and everyone said, that's never going to happen.

00:13:48.000 You already have it.

00:13:50.000 Front page of Axios, Hakeem Jeffries emerges as Congress's shadow speaker.

00:13:56.000 Speaker Johnson just threw up his hands in common cause with the Democrats.

00:14:01.000 Republicans do not control the House of Representatives.

00:14:05.000 Republicans do not control the House.

00:14:09.000 It is a simulation.

00:14:13.000 Hakeem Jeffries found himself in an unusual position for a minority last week.

00:14:19.000 It was he, not the House speaker, who had the ultimate power to decide whether legislation came to the floor.

00:14:25.000 Let me read another piece of quote, a quote here: quote: Democrats got everything they wanted: a $95 billion foreign aid bill.

00:14:34.000 They got the credit for passing it, and adversaries were more divided than ever.

00:14:39.000 Quote, a total victory.

00:14:43.000 You never took over the House.

00:14:46.000 Democrats have been in control.

00:14:48.000 And somebody said, but Charlie, what about all the committees?

00:14:50.000 Okay, what about the committees?

00:14:51.000 What can anyone say a tangible deliverable from the committees?

00:14:55.000 We still have not released all the January 6th tapes.

00:14:58.000 Okay, we got a couple people to admit that they had Catholics on the FBI watch list.

00:15:03.000 Okay, but we knew that already.

00:15:06.000 We impeached Maorkis, that was dead on arrival in the Senate.

00:15:10.000 Can you inform me a single takeaway or deliverable from the oversight committees?

00:15:15.000 Okay, we got rid of the January 6th committee.

00:15:17.000 That was good.

00:15:20.000 Did we prove the Biden crime family stuff?

00:15:22.000 Well, it's all there.

00:15:23.000 Comer's done a good job.

00:15:25.000 Nothing's been done with it.

00:15:26.000 Nothing's been done with it.

00:15:29.000 Have we been able to use oversight to secure our southern border?

00:15:32.000 No, the border is more porous than ever before.

00:15:36.000 Schumer was gloating.

00:15:39.000 Biden was gloating.

00:15:41.000 Morning Joe was gloating.

00:15:43.000 I suppose the only thing you could say that this House did is that we did not get DC and Puerto Rico added as states and the Electoral College still exists.

00:15:52.000 So, for that, I mean, those are big things.

00:15:58.000 Here's the victory lap.

00:16:01.000 I was watching my morning dose of MSNBC.

00:16:06.000 Speaker Johnson is a fan favorite at MSNBC.

00:16:10.000 Say what you will about Kevin McCarthy.

00:16:13.000 He never was complimented by MSNBC.

00:16:16.000 He was at war with MSNBC.

00:16:20.000 Play cut 12.

00:16:21.000 This week, let's celebrate for a minute that the system worked this week and it worked on a couple of levels.

00:16:26.000 That a human being, an individual, a profound courage, stood up and did the right thing and was not tribals in the moment and went against him, put his job on the line. 0.95

00:16:35.000 And the checks and balances that are supposed to be there worked in that we had the right person in the right place.

00:16:41.000 I just felt so good despite all the bad in the world.

00:16:45.000 That wait a second, yes, we can have a Republican stand-up.

00:16:48.000 He just feels so good.

00:16:51.000 And what exactly did we do this weekend?

00:16:53.000 $60 billion to Ukraine on top of the anywhere between $150 and $200 billion already sent, $26 billion to Israel, $8 billion to Taiwan, $6 billion to pro-Hamas NGOs while they're occupying our college campuses.

00:17:10.000 CNN.com.

00:17:12.000 By passing Ukraine aid, Johnson became an unlikely churchill. 0.60

00:17:20.000 You better believe that Mike Johnson, being the nerd that he is, read this.

00:17:24.000 He probably said, ooh, I feel good about myself.

00:17:29.000 Shame on anyone who defends Mike Johnson.

00:17:35.000 The world is in flames, and biotonomics is a complete and total disaster, but it can't and won't ruin my day.

00:17:41.000 Why?

00:17:41.000 Because I start my day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee.

00:17:46.000 It's 100% America and 0% Grift. 0.93

00:18:18.000 I had them printed out for me because I just couldn't help myself.

00:18:22.000 By passing Ukraine aid, Johnson becomes an unlikely church hill.

00:18:28.000 You think Mike Johnson is Churchill?

00:18:31.000 He probably has this framed right up there.

00:18:33.000 You better believe, and I got to read the subhead.

00:18:36.000 It's too much.

00:18:37.000 The House Speaker showed political courage and notable legislative skill and put his own job on the line in the process.

00:18:49.000 Now, I'm not going to go, I don't like, and I'm not, I try never to do this.

00:18:53.000 I'm not going to say that somebody is or is not a Christian.

00:18:55.000 But is this how Christians should act? 1.00

00:18:58.000 Should Christians act like this in a sea of lies and deceit, celebrating sending more money overseas so that more young men could be slaughtered? 1.00

00:18:58.000 I mean that. 1.00

00:19:10.000 Is that a Christian value?

00:19:13.000 Let me tell you one of the things that bothers me the most about Mike Johnson.

00:19:18.000 And you know my backstory with him.

00:19:20.000 We were spicy and intense to a grace period to now you know where we are.

00:19:26.000 Where Mike Johnson now gives a bad name to all Christian leaders. 0.95

00:19:30.000 People now think Christians are worms in government.

00:19:34.000 This is exactly why it says in the Ten Commandments: do not carry the Lord's name in vain. 0.96

00:19:40.000 This is Mike Johnson carrying the Lord's name in vain.

00:19:43.000 I believe he violated one of the Ten Commandments.

00:19:45.000 I really do.

00:19:46.000 In the name of God, he funds a no-win war where tens of thousands of people are going to die.

00:19:53.000 In the name of God, he lied to us about the border. 0.99

00:19:57.000 And now non-Christians look at Mike Johnson and they think that they're pathetic, easily manipulated. 0.98

00:20:05.000 Mike Johnson, where is your faith? 0.99

00:20:08.000 You got a couple intel briefings and you thought the world was going to fall apart.

00:20:11.000 Now, let me address the FISA thing because I think it's super important.

00:20:14.000 Mike Johnson, one of his last text messages to me, said, oh, you know, a lot of innocent people are going to die if we don't have FISA without the warrant requirement.

00:20:24.000 First of all, that's a lie.

00:20:24.000 But second of all, wait, then should we take all the guns away, Mike Johnson?

00:20:29.000 Should we have mass gun confiscation?

00:20:31.000 Should we take the cars away?

00:20:33.000 Should we take away all speech too?

00:20:36.000 So your position is that anything that threatens safety in exchange for liberty, we must eliminate and eradicate.

00:20:46.000 What about matches?

00:20:46.000 Fires kill a lot of people, Mike Johnson.

00:20:49.000 This is a man filled with fear.

00:20:52.000 By passing Ukraine aid, Johnson became an unlikely churchill. 0.60

00:20:58.000 He's a very insecure person.

00:21:00.000 You could tell that he actually is enjoying this.

00:21:03.000 For someone who never wanted to be speaker, he certainly is enjoying being speaker.

00:21:07.000 I want to repeat this.

00:21:08.000 He lied to us for months.

00:21:11.000 He literally guaranteed this wouldn't happen.

00:21:14.000 He guaranteed this wouldn't happen.

00:21:16.000 This is the key.

00:21:17.000 He lied and he lied in the name of God.

00:21:21.000 How do I say such a thing as this?

00:21:24.000 Can you guys pull up his fundraising appeal?

00:21:25.000 Tucker Carlson tweeted it out.

00:21:27.000 He is fundraising in the name of God, saying, I got down on my knees asking God what the right course is.

00:21:35.000 Look, Mike Johnson, if God is telling you to go keep on funding a war that's effectively eliminating a generation of Ukrainian young men, you're praying to the wrong God, man.

00:21:44.000 That is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 0.69

00:21:48.000 What is his fundraising appeal?

00:21:49.000 Let's put this up here.

00:21:50.000 Again, I'm not saying he's not a Christian.

00:21:52.000 I'm not going that far.

00:21:54.000 I don't do that.

00:21:54.000 Only God makes those sort of measurements.

00:21:56.000 I'm saying he's not acting like one and he's doing great damage to the country and the kingdom.

00:22:01.000 So let me read his fundraising appeal.

00:22:04.000 Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

00:22:06.000 When I heard that aloud for the first time, it was truly a surreal experience.

00:22:10.000 I never longed for the perks and prestige of public office like so many in D.C. You see, I work from before dawn till after dusk for an audience of one, our creator, my Lord, Jesus Christ.

00:22:23.000 I'm telling you this because I'm your house speaker and you deserve to know who I'm exactly, who I am, and exactly what I stand for.

00:22:29.000 But more than that, I'm asking you to become my partner in restoring America to what it once was, a shining city on a hill and a bastion for people to worship their creator freely.

00:22:40.000 Blake says in the chat, if I yell loud enough, will it please end?

00:22:46.000 This is so cringe.

00:22:50.000 He sent out these nauseating text messages.

00:22:53.000 I serve an audience of one.

00:22:55.000 God is my judge.

00:22:57.000 I believe either Michael or Daniel actually means God is my judge.

00:23:01.000 You guys can fact check me on that.

00:23:03.000 I think Michael actually means God.

00:23:05.000 Michael means God is my strength.

00:23:07.000 Daniel means God.

00:23:07.000 You guys can fact check me on that.

00:23:10.000 That's Michael because the name is Mike.

00:23:12.000 So yeah, I think, can you guys check that?

00:23:14.000 I think Michael means God is my, it's like a play on words.

00:23:17.000 He thinks he's being really cute.

00:23:21.000 Speaker Johnson said, I didn't want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins.

00:23:29.000 The only question is, is he going to give us one more chance to restore our foundations and return to him?

00:23:33.000 So get me, let me understand this, Mike Johnson.

00:23:35.000 You violated at least two of the Ten Commandments when you passed this bill.

00:23:40.000 At least two.

00:23:41.000 Thou shalt not give false testimony and thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain, or in the Hebrew, thou shalt not carry the Lord's name in vain.

00:23:49.000 Why do you keep on acting as if you're this great Christian?

00:23:52.000 And more importantly, why do Christians keep on defending him?

00:23:56.000 What is that all about? 0.99

00:23:58.000 Is it a Christian thing to go send cluster bombs out to a foreign power so they can go kill a bunch of Russians? 0.97

00:24:04.000 Is that blessed are the peacemakers, our Lord and Savior said. 0.92

00:24:09.000 Mike Johnson is not a peacemaker.

00:24:11.000 He's a warmonger.

00:24:15.000 Oh, and the secular media loves him.

00:24:18.000 You will know a person based on their enemies.

00:24:22.000 Let's continue here on the victory lap that Mike Johnson is enjoying.

00:24:29.000 Play cut 19.

00:24:31.000 Well, I will say inside the White House, the belief has been, we need this money so we can move both sides toward a settlement.

00:24:40.000 Without this money, Putin goes wherever he wants to go with this support, with the United States and Europe, behind Zelensky's fight, behind Ukraine's fight.

00:24:53.000 That's the best hope of ending this war. 0.98

00:24:56.000 And very grateful that Mike Johnson listened and came out, did the right thing, made his own decision, put his job on the line.

00:25:07.000 And that's courage.

00:25:10.000 In this case, that's courage.

00:25:12.000 Applause going up along the Ukrainian line.

00:25:16.000 The Russian invaders enraged that America was still there to fight. 0.62

00:25:21.000 By the way, Daniel means God is my judge, not Michael.

00:25:24.000 I just looked it up.

00:25:25.000 I know it was either Daniel or Michael.

00:25:27.000 Our own military and our regime is good with this because it's Ukrainian boys dying, not American. 1.00

00:25:34.000 But honestly, I'm not okay with this.

00:25:36.000 First, the obligation of the U.S. government is to American citizens, funding this war in Ukraine is not in America's interest.

00:25:42.000 We should be trying to negotiate a peace settlement.

00:25:44.000 Number two, I believe in the universal promise of E. pluribus Unum.

00:25:48.000 We're all made of the image of God.

00:25:50.000 And I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I was Mike Johnson authorizing funding to go turn the Ukrainian boys into a meat grinder. 1.00

00:26:00.000 And understand this.

00:26:01.000 And Ryan makes a great point in the chat here.

00:26:03.000 But if America is now attacked, funding all of these proxy wars puts America at risk and our stockpile is depleted.

00:26:11.000 Mike Johnson neglected our safety for foreigners.

00:26:16.000 And this is on top of his FISA betrayal, his constitutional shredding.

00:26:21.000 So I take very seriously when someone in the government says, I am a Christian, I then hold you to a high standard.

00:26:28.000 You know why?

00:26:29.000 Because I believe that if you're actually a Christian, you're transformed from within to be born new, as it says in John 3, in Jesus Christ.

00:26:39.000 Now, if you're Kevin McCarthy and you say, I'm like, I just want power, I'm going to hold you to a lower standard because you're not all of a sudden invoking the eternal, the divine, the most beautiful and true thing.

00:26:56.000 Mike Johnson is invoking the divine in his fundraising appeals.

00:27:01.000 Can we put this back up on screen?

00:27:03.000 He's raising money in the name of God.

00:27:06.000 I serve an audience of one.

00:27:08.000 God is my judge.

00:27:09.000 It's Speaker Johnson.

00:27:11.000 Learn more about my mission to glorify him.

00:27:16.000 If I give $50, can I make this stop?

00:27:20.000 Learn more about my mission to glorify him.

00:27:26.000 You do not have to be a Christian to be repulsed by this because what he has done is exactly why, again, Johnson says God is my judge.

00:27:35.000 And Johnson will have to then face in front of a judgmental God what he has done this last weekend, which is lie, steal, cheat, destroy, deceive.

00:27:44.000 Is Mike Johnson did evil in the name of God?

00:27:49.000 He did something reprehensible in the name of God.

00:27:54.000 Now, some of you might say we should not judge Mike Johnson as a Christian.

00:27:56.000 Hold on.

00:27:58.000 1 Corinthians 5: It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning.

00:28:07.000 Big difference.

00:28:08.000 He invokes the name of God.

00:28:10.000 He raises money in the name of God.

00:28:12.000 He passes cluster bombs and war funding so people can die in the name of God.

00:28:18.000 Where's the evidence that this guy's actually a Christian?

00:28:21.000 Or is he LARPing as one?

00:28:23.000 Live-action role-playing.

00:28:28.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:28:29.000 I talked to you about how horrible nutrition has become for people in our ultra-processed food society.

00:28:34.000 Truth is, it's even worse for our beloved dogs.

00:28:37.000 Seen dog food lately?

00:28:38.000 It's more like dead food.

00:28:39.000 Mr. Briggs is our best friend, and the more adventurous we are, I've realized that food is the most important thing ensuring he's healthy.

00:28:46.000 Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black has invested everything into bringing our dog's food to life.

00:28:50.000 He created rough greens, not dog food.

00:28:52.000 It's a natural supplement to your dog's existing food, full of essential vitamins and minerals and made right here in America.

00:28:58.000 You don't have to change your dog's food.

00:29:00.000 Just adding rough greens to their existing diet will be the best decision you ever made to improve their life.

00:29:06.000 Mr. Briggs has more energy, plays longer, and is overall the best version of himself.

00:29:11.000 Dr. Black is so confident that this will change your dog's life, he is providing a free jumpstart trial bag so your dog can try it.

00:29:19.000 You just cover the shipping.

00:29:20.000 Head to roughgreens.com/slash kirk.

00:29:32.000 Zelensky talks about how America will stay with Ukraine and protect democracy in the world.

00:29:38.000 Just as a reminder, House Republicans, Speaker Johnson, he didn't follow the 72-hour rule.

00:29:45.000 $300 million was just passed for the border patrol of Ukraine.

00:29:52.000 Play cut 23.

00:29:54.000 This aid will strengthen Ukraine and send a powerful signal that it will not be the second Afghanistan.

00:30:04.000 The United States will stay with Ukraine, will protect the Ukrainians, and they'll protect democracy in the world.

00:30:14.000 This is the show of leadership and strength of the United States.

00:30:18.000 Democracy, when's the last time you held an election, pal?

00:30:22.000 Can you send me the election results recently?

00:30:25.000 Oh, we're at war.

00:30:26.000 Abraham Lincoln did an election during war.

00:30:29.000 Such a great pillar of democracy that he bans opposition press.

00:30:33.000 Is this the democracy that we're trying to fight and protect?

00:30:36.000 He bans opposition parties, arrests his enemies, shuts down a church.

00:30:43.000 This is the example of democracy, arrests priests and nuns.

00:30:51.000 And of course, we've known for a while, according to Seymour Hirsch and others, he's just outright stealing the money of the U.S. Treasury.

00:30:59.000 But it's even worse than that.

00:31:01.000 I made this point on Twitter X over the weekend.

00:31:03.000 Jack Posobic repeated it on Steve Bannon's program, which is the politics of Ukraine money.

00:31:09.000 The CIA chief, William Burns, came out recently and he said he's very worried if this money did not get to Ukraine quickly, that Kiev could fall.

00:31:19.000 Joe Biden was very worried that he was going to have a Kabul 2.0 in August or September.

00:31:26.000 You had to get that money there as quickly as possible to try to thwart a political disaster.

00:31:32.000 So Mike Johnson just bailed out Joe Biden.

00:31:34.000 Mike Johnson just improved Joe Biden's reelection chances.

00:31:37.000 Do you know Joe Biden went up in the betting markets and the probability markets of getting reelected as a president?

00:31:42.000 Because Joe Biden runs this Congress.

00:31:45.000 No serious person in D.C. believes Ukraine can win the war with just $60 billion.

00:31:50.000 This will be a bottomless pit.

00:31:52.000 And Russia, a rather wealthy country, has converted their entire country into a war economy.

00:31:59.000 They are now doubling and tripling and quadrupling down.

00:32:04.000 There is real concern that Ukraine will collapse and Kiev could fall by Labor Day, triggering a major political crisis for Biden right before the election.

00:32:13.000 This new pile of cash is only meant to hold off Putin just long enough so Biden doesn't have Kabul 2.0 right before early ballots are sent out.

00:32:23.000 Republicans just sent your taxpayer dollars overseas for a no-win war to help slaughter more Ukrainian men to help Biden get re-elected.

00:32:31.000 That's a nice campaign donation for Joe Biden brought to you by Mike Johnson.

00:32:37.000 And let's put this up on screen.

00:32:39.000 Over the weekend, the probability markets, the betting markets, which tend to actually be rather accurate, they've increased Joe Biden's likelihood of becoming president because they see what we see, which is that this aid package was a major boon to Joe Biden.

00:32:54.000 At the very least, this will keep the killing.

00:32:56.000 This will keep the slaughtering.

00:32:58.000 This will keep the murdering continuing with kind of in the trenches without major movements.

00:33:05.000 Remember, peace deals were snubbed early in the war.

00:33:08.000 Boris Johnson flew to Budapest.

00:33:10.000 Boris Johnson flew to Istanbul.

00:33:12.000 There was that huge meeting in Istanbul. 0.97

00:33:13.000 They dispatched that moron Kamala Harris to the Munich Security Conference right before Putin invaded. 0.95

00:33:18.000 And Kamala Harris wrote off a teleprompter that was written by the intel agencies that said, if you invade, essentially Vladimir Putin, Ukraine is going to potentially join NATO. 0.99

00:33:31.000 Mocking and taunting.

00:33:33.000 So let's summarize all this.

00:33:34.000 We do not have a representative form of government.

00:33:38.000 You, the Republican base, you, the conservatives, have been begging for some opposition force in Washington, D.C. 85% of you do not want more money to Ukraine.

00:33:51.000 99% of our audience, but 85% of Republican voters.

00:33:55.000 And yet, 80% of Republican voters vote for this.

00:33:59.000 And they're force-feeding it.

00:34:01.000 The borrowing goes interrupted.

00:34:03.000 And it's not as if we're a fiscally solvent country.

00:34:06.000 We just spent another $100 billion on foreign aid on top of the $250 billion that we spent on foreign aid.

00:34:12.000 And we're borrowing a trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:34:16.000 And they believe they're untouchable because they are right now.

00:34:20.000 And they laugh at you.

00:34:21.000 And they do it in the name of God.

00:34:23.000 And they smirk at you.

00:34:25.000 And they mock you.

00:34:26.000 And they taunt you.

00:34:28.000 Because they believe they're untouchable.

00:34:30.000 And right now they are.
