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

00:00:40.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:43.000 I want to thank Charlie.

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

00:00:45.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:47.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:53.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:30.000 Yesterday, of course, the news was that we have a new pope.

00:01:34.000 We don't just have a pope from America.

00:01:35.000 We have a Chicago pope.

00:01:37.000 A pretty remarkable newly elected Pope Leo XIV.

00:01:42.000 He's from Chicago.

00:01:44.000 An American pope.

00:01:45.000 And it is fair to say all eyes are on America now.

00:01:48.000 With President Trump's shocking return to the White House.

00:01:52.000 And with Pope Leo XIV.

00:01:55.000 Now, I know what you're all thinking.

00:01:57.000 Chicago got a pope before...

00:02:00.000 A quarterback that can throw 4,000 yards a season.

00:02:04.000 I know.

00:02:05.000 Pretty remarkable.

00:02:06.000 Now, all eyes are on America.

00:02:10.000 And while I'm very encouraged by this specific Pope's prior comments on the sanctity of life, which is great, I am a little worried that there's going to be a tension point.

00:02:23.000 What is the number one ingredient?

00:02:26.000 For what the globalist left-wingers want.

00:02:28.000 I'm not even calling Leo a globalist.

00:02:30.000 I'm not even saying the Catholic Church.

00:02:31.000 I'm saying, what is the number one thing that has remade our world the last 20 years?

00:02:36.000 It is mass migration.

00:02:38.000 Mass migration is the primary ingredient towards destabilization. 0.92

00:02:46.000 The left will seize on anything he says to create tension.

00:02:50.000 This is a very important point.

00:02:52.000 And I'm trying to see two or three steps ahead.

00:02:55.000 Anything that he says.

00:02:57.000 And I can almost guarantee you that the Pope will have far more liberal views on immigration than all of you in this audience.

00:03:06.000 I can almost guarantee it.

00:03:09.000 You have to be ready for the psychological op, and here is how the op will work.

00:03:14.000 The op will be very clear.

00:03:16.000 American Pope challenges, rebukes President Trump on immigration.

00:03:23.000 And I always have to pause and laugh.

00:03:25.000 And this is, I have to admittedly do a better job of this on college campuses when the deconstructionists show up.

00:03:33.000 The deconstructionists show up who are not Christian, who are not even believing in God, and they want to challenge me about what the Bible says about some very specific verse that they don't even believe in.

00:03:46.000 And this is what's going to happen with the Pope, is that you're going to have...

00:03:52.000 Liberal left-wing journalists, media members, and politicians to say, by the way, I'm not Christian and I hate your religion, but you should listen to the Pope because he agrees with me politically.

00:04:05.000 The headline is going to say on CNN.com, the American Pope says you have to love migrants.

00:04:11.000 That means you have to support open borders.

00:04:14.000 There's pressure on the left when their people of faith are rebuked on abortion.

00:04:20.000 Or transgenderism, or something that is a lot more morally clear-cut than immigration laws.

00:04:25.000 And if we're honest, immigration is a very complicated topic in the Bible.

00:04:30.000 It's very topic.

00:04:31.000 It's very, very complicated.

00:04:33.000 You don't get to just pick and choose your talking points that help the left.

00:04:38.000 For example, in Acts 17, the Bible affirms national boundaries.

00:04:45.000 From one man he made every nation, and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

00:04:52.000 We know that love requires order.

00:04:55.000 In 1 Corinthians 14.40 it says, Let all things be done decently and in order.

00:05:02.000 We know that we must have the stewardship of resources, 1 Corinthians 4.2.

00:05:07.000 It is required of stewards that they found faithful.

00:05:11.000 A nation overwhelmed by mass migration cannot serve its people or even the new arrivals. 1.00

00:05:18.000 And we know that God has established borders in the entire book of Nehemiah.

00:05:24.000 Nehemiah wept over Jerusalem's broken walls and worked to rebuild them.

00:05:29.000 Why?

00:05:30.000 Because secure walls symbolized, you could say, dignity, identity, and God's providence and protection.

00:05:39.000 Nehemiah 2.13 says, Now understand that compassion and control are not always opposites.

00:05:54.000 Welcoming in a stranger when you have the capacity to do so is, of course, biblical and loving, when it benefits your own people.

00:06:04.000 It says also in the end of Deuteronomy, there is a warning about that if you allow too many people into your nation, they will become your masters. 1.00

00:06:12.000 But also in the context of order, vetting, and purpose.

00:06:17.000 The conclusion of all this is that you must understand that unlike abortion or transgenderism or marriage, immigration takes a little bit of nuance.

00:06:28.000 It takes a little bit of study.

00:06:31.000 But what is going to be coming down the pike, I guarantee it, is a psychological media operation and narrative to try to say, oh, there's an American pope, therefore you must stop the deportations.

00:06:43.000 There's an American pope, therefore you must stop building the wall.

00:06:47.000 You must open up your entire country.

00:06:49.000 And of course, the easy, simple, but quite honestly true statement is, are they going to take down the walls of the Vatican?

00:06:57.000 I don't think so.

00:06:59.000 But more importantly, they're going to try to divide and destabilize and use whatever the Pope says as a way to slow down the sovereignty movement of the West.

00:07:14.000 The Pope definitely, amongst Catholics, carries extra legitimacy.

00:07:19.000 Catholics believe that he was selected by the Holy Spirit yesterday.

00:07:23.000 They believe the Holy Spirit, which is God, was the reason that Mr. Prevost became Pope Leo XIV.

00:07:31.000 I'm not here to criticize or even debate Catholics' view of that.

00:07:35.000 I don't share that view.

00:07:36.000 But because of it, the Pope has a lot of soft political and theological power.

00:07:44.000 And since the Pope has a lot of soft and political theological power, his statements will be used to slow down populism in the West.

00:07:54.000 And let's think about it.

00:07:55.000 Populism is the great threat.

00:07:57.000 To the globalist World Economic Forum order, as we've seen in countries like Argentina, in countries like Hungary, increasingly in Germany, France has had its little dance with it, in Italy.

00:08:11.000 In some ways, this selection, whether intentional or unintentional, and I'm not going to get into the weeds of criticizing it by any means.

00:08:22.000 It will be used, this is a fact, whether or not it was the intent or not is irrelevant because we can never know.

00:08:28.000 It will be used as a way to slow down populism and nationalism.

00:08:32.000 As to try to say, look, I am from America, I am from the greatest country.

00:08:36.000 You see, one of the ways that people were able to delegitimize what Pope Francis had to say is, ah, he's Argentinian, he's Marxist, he's from this other country.

00:08:45.000 But if he's from Chicago, which again, come on, but if he's from America, Because let's be honest, America is the central player of the world dynamic right now.

00:08:57.000 And unfortunately, this Pope will probably say a lot of great things on abortion and transgenderism that will be totally ignored.

00:09:05.000 He'll probably go on and on and on with encyclicals about how abortion is terrible and transgenderism is terrible.

00:09:11.000 The media won't cover that.

00:09:12.000 But then he'll say one thing as such as, well, we need to love the stranger and bring in...

00:09:19.000 The foreigner, op, boom, front page, Donald Trump rebuked by America's pope.

00:09:23.000 Be ready for the op and don't fall for it when it comes.

00:09:27.000 And I said this yesterday, the one thing I think that's been lacking from popes of this era, John Paul II spoke out against Marxism, and he did a wonderful job of it.

00:09:38.000 Now it's time for a pope to speak out against Mohammedism, to speak out against Mohammedism and Marxism that is coming throughout the West. 0.95

00:09:47.000 If he does that, I will be his biggest fan.

00:09:50.000 But understand the opt that they're going to play.

00:09:53.000 Congratulations to all Catholics, and you are living through history of the first American pope.

00:09:58.000 But be wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove, but wise as a serpent, prudent in all things, and know what is coming next.

00:10:07.000 Ask 10 people to define the word capitalism.

00:10:09.000 How many different responses do you think you'll get?

00:10:11.000 This is a word that comes up all the time, but does anyone know what it really means?

00:11:08.000 Joining us now is a friend of the show, a great American patriot, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from the great state of Oklahoma.

00:11:14.000 Senator, great to see you.

00:11:16.000 I know there's lots we have to cover here, the UK trade deal, Trump nominees.

00:11:20.000 However, I know you want to take an opportunity to clarify something.

00:11:23.000 I did not even see this clip, but I imagine this is something you want to try to clarify.

00:11:28.000 Senator, please, the floor is yours.

00:11:31.000 I don't even know if it's worth clarifying, Charlie, because I was on a different show, on the Benny Johnson Show, and I was just giving a lay of the land on Ed Martin, just saying, you know, the situation we're running up against, it's going to be difficult.

00:11:45.000 You know, I was very positive when we were talking about Pete, when we were talking about Tulsi, Bobby, Cash.

00:11:50.000 I said from the get-go, every time we talked, we will get them across the finish line.

00:11:54.000 My job is to understand the feel of the conference, to understand where everybody's at.

00:12:00.000 And I was very straight on the show by saying, hey, it's going to be difficult.

00:12:06.000 I'm not sure we can get it done.

00:12:07.000 I'm not saying we can't, but it's not definitely a sure deal just because some hard feelings from people.

00:12:15.000 About some of his comments on January 6th.

00:12:18.000 That didn't reflect mine.

00:12:20.000 I mean, there was people that was absolutely scared to death on January 6th.

00:12:22.000 I never felt like I was ever going to die.

00:12:24.000 It wasn't the most dramatic period of my life ever.

00:12:28.000 But I think somebody just took it out of context.

00:12:31.000 However, you know me as good as anybody.

00:12:34.000 I stand solid with President Trump.

00:12:36.000 I haven't wavered a bit.

00:12:38.000 I've been pushing his nominees all the time.

00:12:40.000 If the President wanted to continue to push Ed Martin, we would continue to push until we ran out of steam.

00:12:46.000 In this case, I think, honestly, Ed might have found a better position by putting him in special counsel.

00:12:53.000 I mean, I think you said something about this.

00:12:56.000 Liz, be careful what you wish for, because he's going to be uncovering your dirty secrets.

00:13:02.000 Yeah, in some ways, another monster might have been created.

00:13:07.000 And Ed Martin is a great man.

00:13:08.000 I'll defend him.

00:13:09.000 And it's too bad he's not a DSDC-US attorney.

00:13:12.000 But now, for everyone to understand, the breaking news is now Judge Jeanine has been announced as the temporary DC-US attorney, who's going to be quite a fighter, too.

00:13:22.000 I'll tell you what.

00:13:23.000 Just really quick to kind of close that topic, and we can move on to other stuff.

00:13:27.000 Do you anticipate Judge Jeanine to be welcomed by the U.S. Senate?

00:13:31.000 Do you anticipate any problems there?

00:13:33.000 If she becomes the choice the president pushed forward, more than likely she will be.

00:13:39.000 I don't see any reason why she shouldn't just fly right on through.

00:13:43.000 I think what's going to be her biggest holdup is the paperwork.

00:13:47.000 You're familiar with the paperwork.

00:13:49.000 The paperwork process.

00:13:50.000 Oh, yeah.

00:13:50.000 No, it's a financial colonoscopy.

00:13:54.000 Yes.

00:13:55.000 Oh, Beth, I like that.

00:13:56.000 I'm going to use that from now on.

00:13:58.000 But it is, it takes forever, so she'll have to stay in this position for a little bit.

00:14:02.000 But I don't think there's going to be any problem confirming her at all.

00:14:05.000 I mean, we did just a real quick, what do you call, opposition research, just to make sure we wasn't missing anything.

00:14:14.000 And she is, she's solid.

00:14:17.000 I mean, obviously she's said a lot of stuff that the Libs are going to blow out of proportion, but... 1.00

00:14:21.000 I don't think there's any issue at all getting her confirmed.

00:14:24.000 So, Senator, let's now get—we only have two minutes in this segment here.

00:14:28.000 I want to now shift gears here to the United Kingdom trade deal.

00:14:31.000 I think that we're going to see more and more trade deals come down.

00:14:35.000 And I know that a lot of folks that you represent in Oklahoma have been wanting to see, hey, are we going to be able to export our products?

00:14:41.000 Talk about President Trump's brilliant approach to try to open up American exports and how that applies to the people of Oklahoma and the entire country.

00:14:49.000 Well, first of all, the president's approach was spot on by not trying to do one country at a time, but by doing all countries at a time, putting everybody on notice.

00:14:58.000 Otherwise, you would have just played whack-a-moe. 1.00

00:15:00.000 Every time you worked a deal out with somebody else, they would just win around you by getting another country to bring their product into the United States.

00:15:07.000 By the president focusing on everybody at once, putting everybody on notice, and then telling the U.K. he wanted them to be first in, he delivered a trade deal that everybody else was going to start.

00:15:22.000 We need to do business with the United States more than we need to do business with them.

00:15:29.000 The Europe has stood up.

00:15:31.000 The UK has stood up.

00:15:32.000 China, all of Asia, and a lot of countries in Africa because of different wars around the world over different times.

00:15:40.000 And we have subsidized them.

00:15:42.000 Literally, we have sent trillions of dollars out of our economy and pushed their way.

00:15:47.000 We've allowed manufacturing jobs to leave.

00:15:49.000 And President Trump's the first president to ever have truly the backbone to say we're going to do something and shake up things.

00:15:56.000 And what happened yesterday?

00:15:58.000 The market responded ridiculously well.

00:16:01.000 You're going to continue to see these trade deals come back in.

00:16:04.000 And everybody in Oklahoma knew that.

00:16:07.000 Now, you take the left media, and they're going to tell you the doomsday and everything's falling and we're in recession.

00:16:13.000 They sure didn't report about yesterday about how good the market did and about everybody reversing their comments about we're headed to a recession.

00:16:19.000 But in Oklahoma, even as I traveled around the state, even as I talked to my constituents, I'm telling you, they all appreciated President Trump because we knew where he was going.

00:17:16.000 Senator Mark Wayne Mullen continues with us.

00:17:18.000 So, Senator, I know that there's been a lot of proposals being sent by the White House about this reconciliation bill.

00:17:24.000 I have an unusual question and approach here.

00:17:27.000 Let's just say opinion.

00:17:29.000 So the White House, President Trump was calling Speaker Johnson saying, hey, you should be considering possibly raising the top tax rate to 40%.

00:17:39.000 Now, I'm a no...

00:17:40.000 Way, shape, or form, I like paying higher taxes.

00:17:43.000 I can't stand it, actually.

00:17:44.000 I pay enough tax to the federal government.

00:17:46.000 And I say this because our program is doing very well, and the podcast is as hot as a pistol, praise God, and our radio show is doing well.

00:17:53.000 So I'll be at the top tax bracket, so praise God.

00:17:56.000 So I'll be at the top tax bracket, and I'll be honest, Senator, I'm okay with...

00:18:01.000 Begrudgingly okay, going to 40% at the top tax bracket if it comes with serious spending cuts and if the middle class gets a tax cut.

00:18:10.000 Now, the reason I pose that is, is there any willingness for that amongst the conference, or is there going to be an overly ideological view of, nope, no tax cuts under own circumstances?

00:18:21.000 Because I could go on further about that, but to be perfectly honest, I think our debt and deficit...

00:18:28.000 Is worthy of trying to strike a deal of, okay, you pay a little bit more in taxes.

00:18:32.000 No one likes that, but we get serious spending cuts.

00:18:34.000 Where are we at, and what do you think of that approach, Senator?

00:18:37.000 So, I hate raising taxes, to be honest with you.

00:18:41.000 D.C. doesn't need any more taxes up here.

00:18:43.000 We need to figure out how to control our spending.

00:18:45.000 But if you want to break this down, right now that top bracket is around 37%.

00:18:49.000 What they're proposing is going to 39%.

00:18:56.000 What that is for, it's not necessarily to change the brackets below us.

00:19:03.000 It's to keep all the brackets actually where they're at today.

00:19:07.000 But then it's going to go in and do the no tax, no tips, no tax on manufacturing overtime, and no tax on Social Security.

00:19:16.000 So we have to offset those if we're going to pay down the deficit, actually have the cut we need.

00:19:23.000 And you just don't have room in there.

00:19:25.000 If you're going to do $1.5 trillion in cut, and by the way, this will be for the physical year of FY26, not like Congress typically does.

00:19:33.000 We're going to have a 10-year.

00:19:34.000 Spinning reduction, and we're never going to get it.

00:19:37.000 This is actually for next year.

00:19:39.000 So if you're going to do that, you've got to offset it someplace.

00:19:42.000 So you start looking at deductions, depreciation rates, deferred interest, and you start looking at where you can grab it at.

00:19:52.000 The people that are probably okay with it the most, unfortunately, are people that sit in tax brackets.

00:19:58.000 My wife and I have been very blessed in our life.

00:20:01.000 This isn't.

00:20:01.000 My livelihood, this is what I get to do.

00:20:03.000 We also hit that top tax bracket too.

00:20:07.000 So adding another 2% to pay for people that are probably struggling.

00:20:12.000 If you're dependent on Social Security, that is a big hit to have them pay taxes on that.

00:20:17.000 If you're dependent on the tips, that's a big hit for you.

00:20:20.000 I mean, my wife and I own restaurants.

00:20:22.000 Most of those people were working as hard as they could, and they needed all that tip money they could.

00:20:27.000 And the manufacturing...

00:20:29.000 When you start looking at an overtime on manufacturing, we're going to have a lot of catching up to do.

00:20:34.000 And it's going to come through manufacturing.

00:20:37.000 So to be able to do that is, I'm okay with it.

00:20:40.000 And then cut deduction at the same time.

00:20:42.000 I'm on the same page with you, Charlie.

00:20:43.000 Yeah, and again, you and I both are the top tax bracket.

00:20:46.000 Is it going to be a life-ender for us?

00:20:49.000 It'll be annoying.

00:20:50.000 I'll just be honest.

00:20:51.000 Okay, I have to write more.

00:20:54.000 Write a bigger check to the federal government.

00:20:56.000 Is it going to upend our quality of life?

00:20:58.000 No.

00:20:59.000 It's not.

00:20:59.000 Do I think we should get in the practice of constantly raising taxes on top income earners?

00:21:04.000 No.

00:21:05.000 In a different circumstance, I would be arguing, actually, for less taxes on wealthy people if we were not on the verge of a fiscal and financial apocalypse.

00:21:13.000 It is a trade-off.

00:21:15.000 Ultimately, America's broke.

00:21:16.000 We are broke, and we should act like it.

00:21:19.000 And therefore, I think that if we can have a deal where middle-class people can pay less... 0.53

00:21:25.000 Because they've been totally crushed.

00:21:27.000 Middle-class people have been so crushed by this economy, by Biden, by inflation.

00:21:32.000 And we have to pay a little bit more, and then we get spending cuts.

00:21:36.000 But what would be disappointing, Senator, is if we raise taxes on people like you and I, and there is no spending cuts that also come alongside of it.

00:21:47.000 That would be all of that political capital for nothing.

00:21:51.000 Your thoughts, Senator.

00:21:52.000 And then finally, one other element.

00:21:53.000 I do actually think this would be enormously popular with the American people.

00:21:58.000 And let's also remember, again, I hate doing like the politics of vindiction, but that's not what this is.

00:22:05.000 The wealthiest 1%, we're unusual, Senator.

00:22:08.000 Most of them actually voted for Kamala Harris.

00:22:10.000 The wealthiest counties in America almost all voted for Democrats.

00:22:13.000 They're increasingly the coastal elite.

00:22:16.000 So what spending cuts do you think we will get?

00:22:19.000 And that we can't expect, not just the Doge stuff, but real significant spending reform to try to get the deficit under a trillion dollars.

00:22:27.000 So, first of all, under a trillion dollars sounds ridiculous.

00:22:30.000 We need to balance the budget, but that's accurate.

00:22:33.000 There's a couple of things that we need to be looking at that I would like to see if we're going to raise the taxes on anybody.

00:22:38.000 Let's say once we get the budget balanced, that we start using tariffs.

00:22:46.000 To start paying off the national debt.

00:22:49.000 And then at some point when we get our spending under control, then we're able to go in there and lower the tax brackets for everybody, use the tariffs that are coming in to offset that cost of lost revenue from the taxes.

00:22:59.000 Just my thought.

00:23:00.000 Now, some real cuts we can have.

00:23:03.000 When we start looking at reforms, you have to start looking at the size of government.

00:23:09.000 We have been a bloated government for decades, but really since COVID.

00:23:15.000 If you start looking at the numbers, the amount of employees we hired post-COVID, if we can go back to 2019 employment rates.

00:23:26.000 And then you start understanding the amount of technology that we can install to help offset that.

00:23:31.000 I mean, every company in America right now is using technology to cut their payroll to some degree.

00:23:37.000 And then the ones that are there, they're able to raise the money.

00:23:42.000 Not the money, but raise the profitability of the company to be able to reinvest and continue to grow.

00:23:48.000 So if we're going to use that same technology, use it inside the government.

00:23:51.000 So what we're looking at real hard is investing in technology, being able to bring down the bloated workforce by 5% to 10%, and then we're able to use technology to go in there and expose the waste and the fraud that's through every one of these agencies.

00:24:07.000 And President Trump is leading this by putting...

00:24:09.000 Putting the Doge personnel in place to be able to audit these agencies.

00:24:15.000 And they're fighting tooth and nail.

00:24:16.000 Why?

00:24:17.000 Because you have entrenched people that are working in a very cush job that doesn't even have to show up the last three years, and the top earners are making $3,000 to $350,000 a year, which, great, I'm glad you're able to make good money, but work for your position.

00:24:34.000 And we haven't seen government working for the people, so we need to change our direction and make sure we get laser-focused on delivering it and still run lean and mean.

00:24:44.000 Last thought here, Senator, then I'll let you run.

00:24:47.000 And I'm just told that the rescission vote died in the House.

00:24:51.000 We're going to track that in real time.

00:24:55.000 I was on the phone yesterday with some high-ranking House Republicans, and they say, Charlie, we can't put defunding Planned Parenthood in the rescission package or reconciliation bill because of the midterms.

00:25:07.000 And I got very upset.

00:25:08.000 I said, listen, we are in May of a new year, and we just had an election.

00:25:12.000 And I have to now hear that you do not want to do something you were elected to do because of the midterms.

00:25:19.000 I find that to be despicable.

00:25:21.000 They just clearly do not want to do it.

00:25:24.000 And that's just one of many things that it can apply to.

00:25:27.000 Senator, number one, a point of encouragement.

00:25:29.000 Please tell your colleagues why on earth are they so worried about the next election if they're not going to fulfill the mandate from the prior election?

00:25:38.000 And then secondly, just what is...

00:25:42.000 What do we, the grassroots, have to do to try to get this done, not just defunding Planned Parenthood, but some of the things that we ran on and that we hope to expect so that this doesn't end up being just a lackluster reconciliation bill that blows this great opportunity?

00:25:58.000 Senator, please.

00:25:59.000 The Planned Parenthood is sticky.

00:26:01.000 And as a father of six kids, three adopted, I thank God almost every day that the mothers that were able to give me these three kids that I can love and they love me, And was brave enough to go through the pregnancy.

00:26:17.000 I am 100% pro-life.

00:26:20.000 What Planned Parenthood has done is they've weaved themselves into our community healthcare centers.

00:26:26.000 A lot of our rural areas that doesn't have a hospital, doesn't have 24-7 urgent care, or any really medical, they run the only...

00:26:39.000 Community health care center in maybe the entire county and trying to separate those around.

00:26:45.000 And so when people start saying funding Planned Parenthood, what ends up happening is through these community health care centers that doesn't deliver abortion at all, the problem is we feel like Planned Parenthood is using that money that is typically derived by Medicaid and Medicare recipients because it's rural areas.

00:27:04.000 They're following that money into their abortion clinics. 0.98

00:27:08.000 Well, there's two paths here.

00:27:10.000 One, you just completely get them out of it where they can't accept Medicare and Medicaid at these community health centers, which would be pretty devastating to the rural areas.

00:27:17.000 Or you get them completely out of business altogether.

00:27:20.000 But then there's supposed to be a clear line between the funding between the two.

00:27:25.000 And the Democrats have allowed that funding to mesh together during COVID.

00:27:30.000 And we have to expose that.

00:27:32.000 And if they're not willing to do that again...

00:27:34.000 Then we need to kick them totally out of the system and allow them to have Medicare and Medicaid. 0.98

00:27:39.000 That's what the biggest issue is.

00:27:42.000 It's about losing health care in the rural area.

00:27:45.000 And we're running out of time.

00:27:46.000 Senator, I think that's a smart point I haven't heard before, and I understand the complexity.

00:27:50.000 Let me just kind of tell you the political and moral dynamics.

00:27:54.000 Kick them out completely.

00:27:55.000 And by the way, call their bluff.

00:27:57.000 Why is it that pregnancy crisis centers in Tulsa and in Edmond?

00:28:01.000 And in Oklahoma City, which are these Christian, amazing communities there, they don't get any funding from the federal government.

00:28:08.000 So if these pregnancy crisis centers that do this incredible work that are saving lives don't get money, why should those that butcher lives get money?

00:28:15.000 So I think you should kick them out completely.

00:28:17.000 And look, the audience is on fire about this one.

00:28:21.000 So Senator, we're counting on you to bring that one home.

00:28:24.000 We are 100% with you on that one.

00:28:26.000 We're fortunate in Oklahoma that we have a lot of tribes that are raising their hand saying we'll take the community health center, so we're good in Oklahoma.

00:28:32.000 Good.

00:28:32.000 But that's the issue of helping states.

00:28:33.000 I want to say this real quick, Charlie.

00:28:35.000 Thank you for going to the universities.

00:28:36.000 You went to Stillwater where my kids wrestle for Oklahoma State.

00:28:40.000 What you do after you leave, you don't see.

00:28:42.000 But the ability for these individuals that may have been hiding underneath the rock because they're MAGA and because universities are not, they're usually woke, you give them a backbone to be able to stand up because you're brave enough to go there first, take the fight to the campus, and then all these ones that are actually true MAGA, they have the ability to stand up after you leave.

00:29:01.000 And there's been a movement at Oklahoma State since you left.

00:29:04.000 So thank you.

00:29:05.000 Well, thank you.

00:29:05.000 That really means a lot, Senator, because you're right.

00:29:07.000 I don't see what happens after I leave.

00:29:09.000 And that invisible ripple effect just gives me such encouragement.

00:29:13.000 So thank you for that.

00:29:14.000 It means a lot.

00:29:15.000 Senator, keep fighting and bring this one home.

00:29:19.000 There's something happening with our farmland here in America as not getting up attention.

00:29:23.000 The Chinese are buying up hundreds of thousands of acres. 0.96

00:29:26.000 Of U.S. farmland.

00:29:27.000 They've taken control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment.

00:29:32.000 Why?

00:29:32.000 It's clear they're tightening their grip on global food production.

00:29:35.000 And if things go south, we need to be ready.

00:29:37.000 That's why I trust My Patriot Supply.

00:30:17.000 Joe Biden made an appearance on The View.

00:30:21.000 He actually looks somewhat sentient.

00:30:23.000 It was amazing.

00:30:25.000 He was really having a lot of duties as president.

00:30:27.000 He's definitely napping a little bit more.

00:30:30.000 He looked somewhat sentient, keyword, somewhat.

00:30:33.000 This is Cut 4444444, Biden mumbling about how Trump can't lead the world without an infrastructure.

00:30:42.000 My goodness, we are so thankful he's no longer president.

00:30:45.000 Praise the Lord.

00:30:45.000 Play Cut 444.

00:30:50.000 The projects.

00:30:51.000 The benefits.

00:30:52.000 How do you lead the world without having the best health care in the world?

00:30:57.000 How do you lead the world without having the best education in the world?

00:31:00.000 How do you lead the world when you don't have that done?

00:31:03.000 Honestly, one thing that we should do, we as conservatives, we're going to make fun of him for the next couple of minutes.

00:31:08.000 And this was our commander-in-chief, and praise the Lord we didn't go to nuclear war and there was a group of invisible Biden staffers running the country.

00:31:14.000 But honestly.

00:31:15.000 There is one thing that we should remain thankful for.

00:31:18.000 Praise the Lord that Joe Biden's bitterness remained.

00:31:24.000 Joe Biden was a vindictive little fella.

00:31:26.000 Ooh, is he bitter.

00:31:28.000 He did us a big favor.

00:31:30.000 If Joe Biden would have resigned in July and given the presidency to Kamala Harris, we would have had some trouble.

00:31:37.000 Her as president would have been a much different thing. 0.98

00:31:40.000 And I will say, remember, Blake, I keep score.

00:31:43.000 At the RNC in Milwaukee, I was the only one on our thought crime panel where I predicted that Joe Biden would remain president and stay through the entire term.

00:31:53.000 And everyone said, no way, he's going to resign and she'll take the office. 1.00

00:31:58.000 I said, no, no, no.

00:31:59.000 I said, it would have made sense to resign, of course, but I said, no, he's a vindictive little fella.

00:32:05.000 He's a bitter dude.

00:32:07.000 But luckily, he was selfish.

00:32:10.000 Honestly.

00:32:11.000 I don't want to get too deep into that.

00:32:13.000 Deep down, did he want Trump to win?

00:32:15.000 Probably not.

00:32:15.000 I wouldn't go that far.

00:32:17.000 Let's play cut 4-4-7, please.

00:32:19.000 In your final year, there was a dramatic decline in your cognitive abilities.

00:32:24.000 In the final year of your presidency, what is your response to these allegations?

00:32:28.000 Are these sources wrong?

00:32:30.000 They are wrong.

00:32:31.000 There's nothing to sustain that, number one.

00:32:35.000 Number two, you know, think of what we're left with.

00:32:41.000 We had an insurrection when I started.

00:32:45.000 Not since the Civil War.

00:32:47.000 We had a circumstance where we were in a position that we...

00:32:52.000 Well, you know, one of the things that...

00:32:56.000 Well, and Alyssa, you know, one of the things I think is that they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day.

00:33:07.000 You want to know why people think the media is a disgrace?

00:33:11.000 You're seeing that his mental decline is on full display and all these women on The View are like, oh yeah, totally, yeah, that's right.

00:33:19.000 Yeah, totally, yeah, yeah, that's right.

00:33:23.000 And they actively covered up Joe Biden's mental decline.

00:33:27.000 Thanks for reminding me why President Trump won.

00:33:30.000 Oh, there's dangerous destabilization and institutional distrust happening in the West.

00:33:36.000 Yes, because you covered up this man, the commander-in-chief's mental decline, and told us that we were conspiracy theorists for it.

00:33:45.000 Praise the Lord.

00:33:46.000 We all dodged a bullet on July 13th.

00:33:49.000 I'll say that once.

00:33:49.000 I'll say it almost every day.

00:33:51.000 Thanks so much for listening, everyone.
