00:00:07.000 We talk about some recent news from his company, really important stuff.
00:00:10.000 Then Troy Nells, Congressman, joins us about the Christopher Ray hearings and more.

00:00:25.000 And that is tpusa.com.
00:00:28.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:29.000 Here we go.
00:00:30.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:32.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:34.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:37.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:40.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:41.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:42.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:51.000 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.
00:01:00.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:03.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:12.000 Joining us now is Michael Seifert, who has some big announcements.
00:01:16.000 Yesterday we talked about Every Life Public Square.
00:01:18.000 I am their biggest fan, number one promoter, enthusiastic believer and user of Public Square, publicsq.com.
00:01:26.000 All of you go to everylife.com and is promo code Charlie10 for a diaper alternative that actually cares about babies.
00:01:32.000 Michael Seifert is with us.
00:01:34.000 Michael, tell us in your own perspective, the launch of the diaper company, how things are going.
00:01:38.000 It's a real beautiful product.
00:01:40.000 Well, Charlie, I'm really grateful.
00:01:41.000 Our prediction turned out to be true.
00:01:43.000 We had hoped that the moms and the dads of this great nation would be as excited as we were for a diaper company that was actually pro-life, pro-family, and unashamed about admitting those two realities.
00:01:58.000 Because unfortunately, if you look at the nine major diaper brands in the United States today, they're all vocally.
00:02:04.000 I mean, it's shocking.
00:02:04.000 Coterie is a luxury diaper.
00:02:06.000 It's about the nicest diaper money could buy until we released ours yesterday.
00:02:10.000 Coterie last year, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, came out and said publicly that their employees, quote unquote, feel lost without abortion rights.
00:02:19.000 So we have witnessed that even the baby brands in this United States have gone so off the deep end with this wokeism and ESG nonsense that they're promoting abortion when their clients are babies.
00:02:30.000 We're going to do the opposite thing.
00:02:32.000 We've just yesterday launched EveryLife.com.
00:02:34.000 We are a premium, high-quality diaper and wipes company that celebrates the miracle of every single innocent life.
00:02:41.000 No matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, socioeconomic status, race, background, every life is a miracle.
00:02:47.000 And we celebrate that with our high-quality diapers.
00:02:50.000 This is a part of this broader movement, Charlie, to create patriotic parallel options to some of the major incumbent brands.
00:02:58.000 And we're going to do this a whole lot more.
00:03:00.000 So we encourage consumers to join us and buckle up because it's going to be a wild ride.
00:03:05.000 You're doing a really great job, Michael.
00:03:07.000 But there's some, let's just say, dark forces that aren't really thrilled that Public Square is ascendant, that you guys are growing.
00:03:15.000 Can you speak to that a little bit, that there's some just people that aren't a big fan that all of a sudden there's a navigational tool of the patriot economy?
00:03:22.000 I'm seeing some things.
00:03:23.000 I'm hearing some whispers.
00:03:24.000 What's going on here, Michael?
00:03:26.000 You know, Charlie, it's interesting.
00:03:27.000 We yesterday announced very boldly that a core piece of our business is protect every innocent life.
00:03:34.000 And I don't think it's a coincidence that in the last 24 hours, since we've announced that, we've underwent quite a bit of spiritual warfare and quite a bit of opposition and antagonistic attacks from people that really want to thwart our course in our direction.
00:03:50.000 We are taking the company public right now at Public Square.
00:03:52.000 CLBR is the ticker of the SPAC that we're partnering with.
00:03:56.000 And we are closing next week, ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, July 20th, which is very exciting.
00:04:03.000 And we are excited, but we are experiencing quite a bit of pressure from a few institutional players that would like to see a decrease in our success.
00:04:14.000 And we're seeing a lot of pushback from certain media outlets that may not like the future that we're trying to create in this parallel economy.
00:04:21.000 And so our encouragement to consumers, to investors, to friends of the company, to people simply that are fans of the Patriot parallel economy, join us.
00:04:31.000 Join us at publicsq.com.
00:04:33.000 We would love it if consumers would rally around this patriotic economy that we're trying to build here.
00:04:37.000 And at the end of the day, Charlie, we know we're going to be victorious.
00:04:40.000 We know at the end of the day that we have a special call with this company to provide a solution that millions of Americans have hungered for.
00:04:48.000 And we know because we see it working every single day.
00:04:51.000 We hit a million consumer members on our platform faster than Twitter, Airbnb, or Spotify.
00:04:55.000 And we did it purely because of your listeners, because of shows like this, because of voices like yours that are rallying around this solution we're trying to bring to the market.
00:05:06.000 So our encouragement is, y'all, build this with us.
00:05:09.000 We need your help.
00:05:10.000 And you can do that at publicsq.com.
00:05:14.000 Yeah, public square is one of the most important things happening in the country.
00:05:18.000 It's publicsq.com.
00:05:20.000 And, you know, we talk about the consumer side of it, but for every entrepreneur out there, you will maximize and expand your business if you are on public square.
00:05:28.000 Because so if you're an if you're a business owner, you should sign up and join the business directory at publicsq.com.
00:05:35.000 That is publicsq.com.
00:05:37.000 Shop your values locally and online, small businesses you can trust.
00:05:43.000 And so Michael, kind of give more understanding here of just the, you've only been around for a year.
00:05:48.000 It's been one year.
00:05:49.000 It's been this explosion.
00:05:51.000 And this just interest is beyond comprehension.
00:05:55.000 You're going to be here with our 6,000 people at our Turning Point Action Conference.
00:06:00.000 It's truly a grassroots movement to defeat the woke economy and build a new economy that doesn't come without some sort of headwinds.
00:06:09.000 But Michael, just walk our audience through the last year and this remarkable journey that you've been on at Public Square.
00:06:15.000 Well, Charlie, we were nothing special.
00:06:17.000 We were a group of normal people that just cared enough to do something.
00:06:19.000 My wife and I were really frustrated.
00:06:21.000 Our team were really frustrated watching the direction this country has gone on in the last decade.
00:06:25.000 And we knew that ultimately, if we wanted to see lasting change, we had to take it beyond the ballot box.
00:06:30.000 We would have to go out into the public square.
00:06:32.000 We would have to engage with commerce because ultimately, if you want to see how a lot of decisions are made in society, you have to look at who profit.
00:06:39.000 And it's well past time for we the people to profit again.
00:06:42.000 For a decade plus, we have gotten the raw end of this deal.
00:06:46.000 We've had corrupt actors at the top levels of corporate America that prioritize the values of globalist stakeholders more than they do the American people.
00:06:55.000 And we could not do it anymore.
00:06:56.000 So we've created the largest network the nation's ever seen of small businesses and consumers that want to support America first, that want to prioritize the values found in the Constitution endowed by our creator that secure our liberty.
00:07:12.000 And ultimately, at the end of the day, the right types of businesses are prospering through this marketplace.
00:07:16.000 So we came out with that vision.
00:07:18.000 And our plea to consumers was we don't have the resources of Amazon.
00:07:21.000 We don't have the resources of Yelp yet.
00:07:23.000 But with the power of the people, we believe that we can overcome any of the pushback or opposition we may face.
00:07:29.000 Build this marketplace with us.
00:07:31.000 And now a year later, we're so grateful that that question, that request has been met in ways that I never could have imagined.
00:07:40.000 I mean, we have seen growth that I never could have anticipated.
00:07:43.000 We have seen consumers experiencing these testimonies of growth in their own communities that I never could have dreamed of.
00:07:50.000 And Charlie, we're just getting started.
00:07:52.000 So, with this going public deal, as we ring the bell of the New York Stock Exchange next Thursday, we know that it does not come without challenges, but our ask is the same that it was a year ago.
00:08:02.000 If you want a solution where you can know with blessed assurance that every dollar you spend is going to go to businesses that deserve your support because they're run by your community that love the country and the freedoms that we hold dear, build this with us.
00:08:15.000 We need your help.
00:08:16.000 We can't do this alone.
00:08:17.000 And at the end of the day, there are a lot of avenues to do that, whether you're a consumer, a business, and we're not going to ask you to pay any money to do it.
00:08:24.000 Free to join for a business and a consumer.
00:08:26.000 If you're tired of investing your money with companies that hate you, you also have an opportunity to invest with a company that likes you and is not going to prioritize DEI scores and ESG scores.
00:08:35.000 We're trying to fundamentally change the economy.
00:08:38.000 And Charlie, I'm excited to share that more with the guests at the action conference this weekend.
00:08:42.000 Let's play Cut 31, the new company by PublicSquare, EveryLife.com, PlayCut 31.
00:08:48.000 It's been one whole year since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
00:08:51.000 Which means they've been making abortion illegal all over the place.
00:08:55.000 So these are dark times.
00:08:56.000 These are dark times.
00:08:57.000 Dark times.
00:08:58.000 Dark times.
00:08:59.000 I'm now seriously considering going down the dangerous path of abstinence until marriage.
00:09:04.000 I find myself in this really bizarre state where I'm asking guys about things like their values and trustworthiness before sleeping with them.
00:09:12.000 Before a girl will have sex with me now, she's asking me all these dumb questions: like, do you love me?
00:09:17.000 And what happens if I get pregnant?
00:09:19.000 And do you have a job?
00:09:20.000 It's like the government is making me responsible for a bunch of stuff I shouldn't be responsible for, like my sex life and my children.
00:09:30.000 Why would I ever want to bring a child into a world like this?
00:09:35.000 A world in which it's illegal to kill children.
00:09:38.000 The overturning of Roe v. Wade did this to me.
00:09:41.000 The Supreme Court of the United States put this inside of my body.
00:09:47.000 That is actually live action, who you guys are supporting.
00:09:49.000 We'll play the Every Life clip in the next thing.
00:09:52.000 And it's a great clip.
00:09:53.000 I've said for a while that the abortion lobby wants to try to get rid of responsibility as a cornerstone American value.
00:10:01.000 They want you to be able to have all the pleasure you want with your responsibility, but just massacring 60 million babies in the process.
00:10:08.000 PlayCut 87, EveryLife.com.
00:10:11.000 While so many companies are promoting what is wrong, we choose to celebrate what is right.
00:10:20.000 Life.
00:10:24.000 Every miracle from God.
00:10:27.000 Boy and girl.
00:10:29.000 Black, tan, and white.
00:10:33.000 Planned and unplanned.
00:10:40.000 Gifted and special.
00:10:44.000 Every one of them is celebrated here.
00:10:48.000 That is every life.
00:10:51.000 We're changing diapers, changes lives.
00:10:56.000 Michael, this is going viral.
00:10:57.000 Tell us about it.
00:10:58.000 It's been 24 hours.
00:10:59.000 It's amazing.
00:11:00.000 Everylife.com.
00:11:01.000 And I just reiterate, Michael, how the diaper industry is pro-abortion.
00:11:05.000 When you told me this, it's just incredible.
00:11:08.000 Charlie, it's interesting.
00:11:09.000 Right as you were playing that, we just got a message.
00:11:12.000 This lovely mom just said, thank you so much for doing this.
00:11:15.000 We are almost done with diapers, but I will be canceling my Hello Bellow subscription and switching immediately.
00:11:20.000 Hello Bellow is one of the major incumbents in the diaper industry.
00:11:23.000 And to answer your question, they actually pay for their employees' abortion.
00:11:27.000 So Hello Bellow is one of many companies in the United States that will actually fund the termination of their employees' children when they are a baby company.
00:11:36.000 The absurdity of corporate America has reached an unconceivable height.
00:11:41.000 And unfortunately, it's sad that it's affected even the most vulnerable and the most innocent, which are baby brands that are focused on consumers that are in the womb and out of the womb that are equally deserving of rights and life and liberty.
00:11:57.000 And so we thought it was well past time to create a diaper brand that would actually embrace life and would embrace family and would support parents in need.
00:12:04.000 And so we've created Every Life, that ad you just saw.
00:12:06.000 It's been incredible to watch the testimonies flow in.
00:12:08.000 By the way, that video.
00:12:10.000 When you count the original source video, that's already gotten over a million views on Twitter with no paid promotion.
00:12:15.000 And then on top of that, all the different incredible influencers and leaders and community members that have shared it.
00:12:19.000 This video has been viewed well over two and a half million times.
00:12:21.000 It's pretty cool to witness.
00:12:23.000 And so clearly the message is resonating with people, Charlie.
00:12:26.000 And we're pretty happy after the first 24 hours.
00:12:28.000 We're seeing a lot of babies blessed and a lot of parents blessed by this new company endeavor.
00:12:33.000 It's just amazing what you guys are doing.
00:12:35.000 And the patriot economy is working.
00:12:37.000 We're seeing across the board, you know, these companies that are just going woke and ideological.
00:12:41.000 Michael, you're experiencing this somewhat.
00:12:43.000 Can you at least fill our audience in as we conclude this conversation how some companies, their primary mission now is not necessarily to make money, but it's to pursue an ideological agenda.
00:12:53.000 We always used to say, oh, the profit incentive is everything.
00:12:55.000 That is not true.
00:12:56.000 There is now an ideological incentive.
00:12:58.000 Final thoughts, Michael Seifert.
00:12:59.000 Well, our economy has become a finance economy where you basically will receive loans from financial institutions or favor from financial institutions.
00:13:07.000 And that's actually your barometer of success.
00:13:10.000 So it's not about just serving simple solutions to consumers and providing value to your shareholders anymore.
00:13:16.000 These companies believe it's about winning as much favor with Jamie Dimon and J.P. Morgan as they possibly can.
00:13:21.000 And in order to do that, you have to have astronomically high ESG and DEI scores.
00:13:25.000 So these companies get rewarded based upon how woke they are.
00:13:29.000 That's incredibly detrimental because nothing about ESG or DEI or affirmative action actually helps you create better products and provide more value to consumers.
00:13:38.000 None of it.
00:13:39.000 So what we're trying to shift the economy back toward, Charlie, is meritocracy, doing the right thing to your consumers and for your consumers.
00:13:46.000 And that should be all that matters.
00:13:48.000 Supporting your consumers, supporting your shareholders, and supporting this great country that we are blessed enough to be able to do business in.
00:13:54.000 And at Public Square, that's exactly what we're trying to do, both in our business as it's private and as we go public next week.
00:14:00.000 Michael Seifert, check it out, publicsq.com.
00:14:02.000 Keep your eye on the New York Stock Exchange, where Public Square is going to be listed.
00:14:08.000 It's really exciting.
00:14:10.000 And everylife.com diaper company.
00:14:13.000 We're going to have you on when you go public and you ring the bell.
00:14:16.000 We're going to have you on, Michael.
00:14:17.000 We're behind you 100%.
00:14:19.000 Thanks so much, Michael.
00:14:20.000 God bless you.
00:14:21.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:14:24.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:14:26.000 And like many of you, I'm a busy guy balancing family, show, travel, and TPUSA.
00:14:30.000 When I needed a mortgage, I went to my friends, Andrew Delray and Todd of Aiki at Sierra Pacific.
00:14:35.000 They were amazing.
00:14:36.000 And look, I had some complicated stuff.
00:14:37.000 Don't need to go into the details.
00:14:39.000 They handled it personally.
00:14:42.000 Call them if you have an aging family member, for example, that needs some financial relief.
00:14:46.000 Ask them about a reverse mortgage.
00:14:47.000 If you're self-employed and are finding it difficult to qualify because of that, they have my 100% full and complete endorsement.
00:14:54.000 Call them and help you prepare.
00:14:56.000 I'm telling you, anything mortgage-related, please call them and not the big woke bags.

00:15:26.000 With us now is Troy Nells.
00:15:28.000 Lots to talk about here.
00:15:30.000 Troy, we want to start talking.
00:15:32.000 Congressman Troy Nells is doing a great job.
00:15:34.000 Troy, I want to ask you about the Ray hearings.
00:15:37.000 What was your reaction to Christopher Wray's attitude, his smugness, and his lack of answers towards the representation of the sovereign, which is Congress?
00:15:46.000 Your thoughts, Congressman Nels.
00:15:48.000 Charlie, good to be with you.
00:15:50.000 We expected this.
00:15:51.000 We figured, Charlie, that he would, Director Wray would say, well, really can't talk about that because that's a personnel matter.
00:15:59.000 It's an ongoing personnel matter.
00:16:02.000 Same thing as it relates to investigations.
00:16:04.000 Can't talk, can't speak much about that because there's an active investigation.
00:16:09.000 That's the way out.
00:16:10.000 That was his way out.
00:16:11.000 But overall, I thought that we were up against that.
00:16:14.000 But I believe that the committee did a pretty good job trying to expose this administration, the DOJ, and the FBI for their violating not only the First Amendment, but the Fourth Amendment as it relates to FISA and everything else.
00:16:30.000 So I thought we did a pretty good job the other day with Director Christopher Wray.
00:16:35.000 I want to play cut 83.
00:16:37.000 This is you grilling Christopher Wray.
00:16:39.000 Play cut 83.
00:16:40.000 Mr. Ray, you have arrested hundreds of people related to January 6th.
00:16:44.000 There is very little difference between the actions of Ray Epps and Brandon Stritka that day, but yet Stritka was arrested and Epps wasn't.
00:16:53.000 Now look into the camera, sir, when you answer my next question.
00:16:56.000 Are you going to arrest Mr. Epps, yes or no?
00:17:01.000 I'm not going to engage here in a discussion about individual people who are or are not.
00:17:06.000 I get a commitment.
00:17:07.000 You just watched the video, and it appears to me you are protecting this guy.
00:17:11.000 I strongly recommend you get your house back in order.
00:17:14.000 So, Congressman, are we going to see real movement to defund major aspects of the FBI?
00:17:21.000 Well, I'm glad that you played that.
00:17:24.000 I played a 42-second clip of Ray Epps.
00:17:26.000 I mean, everybody knows who Ray Epps is, right?
00:17:28.000 I mean, he was there tonight prior saying go into the Capitol.
00:17:31.000 He was there the day of going to the Capitol.
00:17:33.000 And I showed the director with this 42-second video of Mr. Ray Epps being at the front line when they breached the first barricade.
00:17:41.000 And then I bring up Brandon Strecker.
00:17:43.000 He was a great American.
00:17:44.000 He was arrested that day.
00:17:45.000 Never went into the Capitol, never assaulted anybody.
00:17:49.000 But yet Strecka gets arrested and Ray Epps doesn't.
00:17:51.000 And you wonder why the American people think that Mr. Ray Epps was a fatter in working with the government, some government agency.
00:17:59.000 So now, do we need to defund the FBI?
00:18:02.000 I don't think we need to defund the FBI.
00:18:04.000 I mean, I am a former law enforcement officer, spent eight years as a county sheriff in a big county in Texas.
00:18:10.000 I think the average day man and woman that is out there trying to protect our country, looking at child predators and going after MS-13 gay members, I think they truly want to serve their community.
00:18:21.000 But what we got to do is we've got to gut the leadership.
00:18:23.000 We've got to gut the leadership and then get new leadership and then go in there and change policy.
00:18:29.000 That's what we need to do.
00:18:30.000 And the only way to truly do that is we need to get Donald Trump back in the White House.
00:18:36.000 I completely and totally agree with that.
00:18:38.000 So, Congressman, I want to talk to you about Ukraine.
00:18:41.000 I think it's against America's national security interests to continue to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into a family dispute and a border conflict 5,000 miles away when none of our leaders can specifically define what the heck that we are doing here and what are we involved in or for what purpose.
00:18:59.000 Congressman, are you starting to see some of your colleagues start to think differently about Ukraine?
00:19:04.000 Or is there still enthusiastic cheerleading to get us closer to a kinetic war with Russia?
00:19:09.000 No, Charlie, I think that there are more members in the House that are starting to ask serious questions about Ukraine.
00:19:15.000 I think I was one of the maybe 50 or 55 or so that did not vote for the initial $40 billion.
00:19:23.000 The initial $40 billion, I said no.
00:19:26.000 This administration still doesn't have a strategy into the Ukraine.
00:19:31.000 So there was an amendment out there that said no more funding for Ukraine until this administration can define and let the American people know what their strategy is.
00:19:42.000 But that amendment was defeated, sadly.
00:19:44.000 But the point is, I've never given a nickel to Ukraine.
00:19:47.000 If there is legislation out there that talks about giving the money to Ukraine, I can't do it because there is no strategy.
00:19:53.000 We're up to $110 billion.
00:19:55.000 Charlie, $110 billion.
00:19:57.000 That money could be spent here helping our southern border and helping all the issues that we have in our country.
00:20:03.000 But we're giving it to the Ukraine.
00:20:05.000 We're going to end up rebuilding that country, too.
00:20:07.000 This is just the beginning.
00:20:09.000 We're going to end up rebuilding that country.
00:20:11.000 Shameful.
00:20:12.000 The American people deserve better.
00:20:13.000 We need those resources back here at home.
00:20:16.000 And there is no end game there.
00:20:18.000 And those that say that Ukraine is going to win this thing, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:20:24.000 I spent 22 years in the military.
00:20:26.000 I have a little bit of experience.
00:20:27.000 We're not winning that.
00:20:28.000 We're not winning that over there.
00:20:30.000 We're just not.
00:20:31.000 And Zelensky is going to walk out of this a billionaire.
00:20:34.000 You watch.
00:20:34.000 He'll leave it a billionaire.
00:20:36.000 Oh, that's really smart.
00:20:39.000 I totally agree.
00:20:40.000 Zelensky will be a Zuckerberg, not that rich, but he'll be rich.
00:20:45.000 He'll be a Reid Hoffman type.
00:20:47.000 And the American Treasury will be depleted in a black hole.
00:20:50.000 We're $30 trillion in debt.
00:20:52.000 So, Congressman, I have a question.
00:20:54.000 I know this is a simple question constitutionally.
00:20:57.000 Why has there not been a congressional declaration of war?
00:21:00.000 We are at war against Russia.
00:21:02.000 Can you force that vote?
00:21:03.000 Is there any appetite to actually, I don't know, read and follow the Constitution?
00:21:06.000 Republicans are always lecturing their voters about how much they love the Constitution.
00:21:11.000 Why haven't we voted on a declaration of war?
00:21:14.000 I believe there was some legislation in this NDAA markup over the week that we had here with an amendment, and I believe that was defeated as well.
00:21:22.000 So you're right.
00:21:23.000 I think that this administration should seek Congress support and get this declaration of war, but that's not what they want.
00:21:30.000 This Biden administration, listen, Joe Biden is over there.
00:21:33.000 He's taking pictures with this guy.
00:21:35.000 He lets Zelensky know: hey, listen, whatever you need, we're never leaving you.
00:21:39.000 There's an open checkbook.
00:21:41.000 There's an open checkbook.
00:21:42.000 So now the American people are going to be paying for this thing, and there's no end game in sight.
00:21:47.000 It's just ridiculous.
00:21:48.000 And if you look at Zelensky, if you really want to end this thing, and I'll say this to you, Joe Biden, if you really want to end this war in Ukraine, all you have to do is call Donald Trump and he'll call Vladimir.
00:22:01.000 I think that's the way to end it, because trust me, everybody knows he never went into Ukraine.
00:22:06.000 Putin never went into Ukraine under Donald J. Trump.
00:22:10.000 But this guy's exploiting the weakness that we have with Joe Biden.
00:22:13.000 So I think if you want to end it, but the sad part about it is, right now, Zelensky, I think he is saying if we end this thing, we want Crimea back.
00:22:21.000 We want all the territory that they took since this started, what, 15 months ago, but we want Crimea back.
00:22:27.000 That's never going to happen.
00:22:29.000 Putin's never given Crimea back, and we could be at this thing for years to come.
00:22:34.000 And we will be, largely thanks to establishment neoconservative Republicans like Mike Pence, Play Cut 122.
00:22:41.000 To give the Ukrainian military the resources that they need to repel the Russian invasion and restore their sovereignty.
00:22:50.000 May I ask?
00:22:51.000 Closing thoughts here.
00:22:52.000 Ray Epps looks like he will be charged, Congressman.
00:22:55.000 Final thoughts on that, follow up your discussion with Christopher Wray.
00:22:59.000 Yeah, I heard about that.
00:23:00.000 I said that I guess his attorney, Mr. Epps' attorney, said that he could be arrested any day by the FBI.
00:23:06.000 I don't want to take credit for that, but it's just common sense and logic.
00:23:09.000 And I told the FBI director, I said, you arrested other people for doing somewhat the same thing that we have, Mr. Ray Epps, on video, and you haven't touched that guy.
00:23:18.000 You removed him from number 16 of the FBI most wanted.
00:23:22.000 You took him off.
00:23:23.000 And you wonder why the American people don't have faith and confidence and can trust this government.
00:23:27.000 We can't trust the FBI.
00:23:29.000 They've weaponized it to go against the American people and our federal government as a whole, the way they're censoring speech.
00:23:36.000 Thank goodness.
00:23:37.000 God bless that federal judge in Louisiana for coming out with his report on July 4th that exposes this administration, the FBI and other agencies for censoring people and violating our First Amendment.
00:23:51.000 What a great judge there.
00:23:52.000 And we just need to let the American people know that it is the conservative, it is the Republican Party that wants to protect our Constitution, your First Amendment, your Fourth Amendment rights.
00:24:03.000 It's not the left.
00:24:04.000 They want to take it from you.
00:24:05.000 We need to get the White House back in 2024.
00:24:08.000 And that person is Donald J. Trump.
00:24:10.000 God bless you, Charlie.
00:24:11.000 Thanks for having me.
00:24:12.000 Thanks, Troy.
00:24:13.000 Appreciate it.
00:24:13.000 Congressman Nell is doing a great job.
00:24:15.000 Thanks so much.

00:25:20.000 Mike Pence is live on stage with Tucker Carlson.
00:25:23.000 You know, it's hilarious.
00:25:23.000 Mike Pence said no to come to our event.
00:25:25.000 Nikki Haley said no to come to our event.
00:25:26.000 Tim Scott, they probably thought that going to Iowa was going to be an easier event for them.
00:25:32.000 Like, oh, I'm going to go to Iowa and it will be easier for me because Charlie's event will be really hostile.
00:25:37.000 Yeah, but you guys decided to sit down with Tucker Carlson.
00:25:40.000 Play Cut 125, Tucker Carlson, Mike Pence.
00:25:42.000 Support the arrests of Christians for having different views.
00:25:45.000 Well, what I can tell you is, I asked the Christian leader in Kiev if that was in fact happening, and he assured me that it was not.
00:25:52.000 People were not being persecuted for their religious beliefs.
00:25:56.000 Now, he said, let me take a break here.
00:25:59.000 I know we disagree on this strongly, but I respect your right to your opinion on Ukraine, and I trust you'll respect mine.
00:26:09.000 Look, I've been to Ukraine now twice.
00:26:12.000 My wife and I traveled into Ukraine a month after the initiative.
00:26:17.000 Yeah, so Mike Pence has been to Ukraine more than East Palestine.
00:26:20.000 That's what he's telling you.
00:26:21.000 How many times has Mike Pence gone to the border in the last couple months?
00:26:25.000 Maybe.
00:26:26.000 I mean, maybe a lot.
00:26:27.000 I don't know.
00:26:28.000 Maybe Mike Pence visits the border more than Ukraine.
00:26:30.000 I don't know.
00:26:31.000 It's a good question.
00:26:33.000 So Mike Pence asks some shill of the Ukrainian government: hey, are Christians being persecuted?
00:26:39.000 No, Christians being persecuted.
00:26:42.000 It doesn't happen.
00:26:44.000 No persecution.
00:26:45.000 Okay, and that's your authority figure, Pence?
00:26:48.000 You're shutting down Russian Orthodox churches.
00:26:50.000 It's well known.
00:26:50.000 It's well documented.
00:26:51.000 It's well reported.
00:26:53.000 So Mike Pence said, and we don't have the clip, I'll just tell you, Mike Pence said, it is in America's national security interest that if we do not stop Putin in Ukraine, he will not stop to then go to a NATO country.
00:27:05.000 So what he's saying is that Russia would declare war in America.
00:27:08.000 That is insane.
00:27:10.000 So we must fight them and repel them from a territory that wants to be under them.
00:27:16.000 This is delusional by Mike Pence.
00:27:18.000 This is neocon, warmongering, scare-inducing happy talk.
00:27:25.000 They want to liberate Crimea.
00:27:27.000 We will have some involvement in this conflict of Russia for the next decade or 20 years.
00:27:31.000 We just shift theaters.
00:27:33.000 You go from Vietnam, then you go to Iraq, then you go to Afghanistan, then you go to Ukraine.
00:27:40.000 You know, since the year I have been born, 1993, I think there's been three or four years I've been alive where America has not been at war.
00:27:50.000 We are a perpetually at-war country.
00:27:52.000 Not healthy, everybody.
00:27:54.000 We have a $30 trillion debt, 110,000 people suffering of drug overdoses.
00:27:58.000 We're getting poor.
00:27:59.000 We have hyperinflation.
00:28:00.000 Our infrastructure is falling apart.
00:28:02.000 Our schools are a joke.
00:28:03.000 We're perverting our kids.
00:28:04.000 We're grooming our kids.
00:28:05.000 Our economy is in a fragile place.
00:28:07.000 And we have to worry about foreign abstractions abroad because, oh, by the way, Vladimir Putin might march across the entire country of Ukraine and then he'd say, I know I can barely conquer eastern Ukraine, but now I'm going to go for Warsaw.
00:28:21.000 Not everybody is Hitler, man.
00:28:24.000 Hitler was extraordinarily lucky.
00:28:26.000 Study your World War II history.
00:28:27.000 The French army was larger than Hitler's army.
00:28:30.000 Hitler was a psychopath who just happened to roll the dice and got snake eyes five times in a row.
00:28:35.000 It's a historical fact.
00:28:38.000 Hitler was lucky and nuts in his conquering of Europe.
00:28:41.000 And by the way, Hitler was objectively had a stronger army than Putin does.
00:28:45.000 This is objectively true.
00:28:46.000 More technology, better trained troops, and weaker opponents.
00:28:51.000 So Mike Pence says that your son or daughter might have to go fight Russia because if we don't, we might have to go fight Russia.
00:29:00.000 We might have to go fight, we have to go fight Russia, otherwise we might have to go fight Russia.
00:29:05.000 This is the rationale of people that are purchased.
00:29:08.000 This is not the rationale of people that are objective deep thinkers.
00:29:12.000 Look at things fairly and openly and honestly.
00:29:17.000 Not every conflict or core around the world is our priority.
00:29:21.000 It shouldn't be at all.
00:29:22.000 Our country's fallen apart.
00:29:24.000 Why is Ukraine a priority?
