00:00:52.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:13.000This weekend was a disappointing weekend.
00:01:18.000We talked about how 9:30 was the day that the Republic will be not just decided, but whether or not we are going to decide to do something to save the Republic, a conservation of the Republic.
00:03:14.000Now, the moderate group, and I put that nicely, the Rhinos, Uniparty, they did not want the single subject bills.
00:03:22.000That should tell you everything you need to know.
00:03:25.000Chip Roy and Byron Donalds and that Freedom Caucus group, they wanted their particular bill to try to pass it to the Senate.
00:03:32.000Now, when we had Matt Gates on the program and we had several other people on the program, my biggest concern was and remains: hey, what is going to happen?
00:03:43.000What is the plan if the moderate Republicans and leadership just do a deal with the Democrats?
00:03:48.000And the response was, well, they could always do that.
00:03:51.000Well, that's exactly what happened this last weekend.
00:03:55.000Instead of getting a little bit of the deal, instead of getting anything, cut in spending, border security, we got nothing.
00:04:42.000And now there is complete and total bedlam in the House Republican conference.
00:04:48.000There are people that are calling for a motion to vacate for Kevin McCarthy.
00:04:54.000There are people that are saying that the next one, they're going to shut down the government certainly and definitively.
00:05:00.000So here's one of the kind of buried leads of this entire thing that I think is very, very important: which is if we are going to be on mid-November, right before Thanksgiving, right before Christmas, if you think that these moderate Republicans are going to strengthen their position or their resolve, that they're going to grow a spine in mid-November, that's just silly.
00:05:43.000We had lawmaker after lawmaker after lawmaker come on the show, and they said, We're asking for this and we're doing that and we're doing this and we're doing that.
00:05:51.000And if I were to just give some very candid feedback from even the Freedom Caucus, yesterday I spoke to three members of the Freedom Caucus.
00:05:59.000They're on different planets: Neptune, Saturn, Mars.
00:06:18.000So even those that are there to hold the line are doing a good job of holding the line, they're not even in harmony with one another or in lockstep with one another.
00:06:26.000And so now Matt Gates is calling for a motion to vacate for Kevin McCarthy.
00:06:30.000Other House Republicans say that's not going to happen.
00:06:33.000So this is going to be a very, very eventful news week, to say the least.
00:06:36.000But I know how you feel because it's how I feel.
00:10:12.000We can make a difference standing for life by getting free ultrasounds with our friends at pre-born.
00:10:17.000In a Dobbs world, states decide about abortion, and so many liberal states are taking extreme stands, even allowing abortion up to literally the second before a baby is born.
00:10:28.000And in California, the demand for abortions has increased 400% in part because the state is inviting women and girls to come to California for the sole purpose of aborting their baby.
00:11:39.000When you have a civilizational crisis and you have one party that is doing the damage to the country, the Democrat Party, then you need some sort of a counter voice.
00:11:54.000So when the counter voice decides to not actually do the counter voice, but instead they get political power from the people just saying they're going to be the counter voice, you have a seriously unsustainable and very, very fragile set of circumstances.
00:12:10.000So you have the border completely wide open.
00:12:13.000Our spending discipline is out of control.
00:12:28.000I mean, we have stuff all across the board.
00:12:29.000The economy is garbage and trash right now.
00:12:32.00099% of homes are deemed unaffordable to the working class and the ordinary American.
00:12:38.000So what happens is these Republicans, many of them, they will run for office saying, give me a political office in D.C., give me political power, give me the title congressman, give me an office in Washington, D.C., and I'm going to go fight against the country collapsing.
00:13:28.000And outside of some oversight stuff, which has been fine, I guess, outside of some oversight stuff and subpoenas, have we cut a dollar of spending this year?
00:13:42.000Have the House Republicans changed anything?
00:13:49.000I don't like saying this because the Republican Party is the only vessel that we have right now to stop the Democrats.
00:13:55.000And honestly, the great accomplishment that the Republican Congress will be able to say is not what they got done, but at least we're not getting rid of the Electoral College and D.C. and Puerto Rico are not becoming states.
00:14:14.000They're such a tumor to the Republic that saying, like, well, at least we still have the Electoral College, like, okay.
00:14:21.000Because that's business number one for them.
00:14:24.000They want to structurally change the country.
00:14:27.000But boy, I'll tell you, you know, I turned my phone off from Friday night to Saturday night, and I turned my phone back on on Sunday and boom, I must have had 280 text messages.
00:14:51.000If a moderate Republican wants to preside over business as usual, then go run as a Democrat.
00:15:00.000You must think of the Republican Party as the counter-revolutionary force because we're living through a revolution, the cultural revolution brought forward by the American Democrat cabal with their uniparty friends.
00:15:19.000That is what animates the grassroots activity, asking for somebody to say, stop, no, not going to happen.
00:15:30.000The mandate that voters gave to the House Republicans when they took over the House of Representatives in January was not multi-trillion dollar deficits and the invasion of our country.
00:15:50.000Americans shifted the House of Representatives, barely, by the way, because of many different issues, from Democrat control to Republican control, largely because they didn't want this to continue unchecked.
00:16:06.000They wanted to have the House of Representatives be able to say, not going to happen.
00:16:54.000And remember, retirement is about more than just investments.
00:16:58.000The Charlie Kirk endorsement of the PAX Financial Group LLC was given for compensation, which creates an incentive to recommend PAX's advisory services.
00:17:07.000Need to make sure that disclaimer is very clear.
00:17:09.000So check it out: PAXFG.com/slash Charlie.
00:17:14.000There's tons of tape I want to play here.
00:17:16.000But in the midst of all this, and I'm going to get to the fire alarm thing because it's just, it's just too important not to touch on.
00:17:22.000But I'll be honest, the fire alarm thing is being talked about way too much.
00:17:30.000Either he's a moron or he's like a really, really bad person or he's a mixture of both.
00:17:35.000But on kind of like right-wing circles, I'll be honest, the conversation has been mostly about Bowman mistaking a fire alarm for a door opener or whatever, a button that opens a door.
00:17:48.000It's like, hold on a second, time out.
00:17:50.000We're spending trillions of dollars we don't have and we're getting invaded every single day.
00:17:56.000That's a hilarious story and should be talked about.
00:17:59.000But are we talking about the things that actually matter right now, like the ones that are impacting our entire civilization?
00:18:08.000And by the way, as we're diving into this legislative fight right now, the opposition party, part of the opposition party, doesn't seem that fired up that we had to do this CR.
00:18:23.000The old adage, and I've said this before: kicking the can down the road.
00:18:27.000I don't like that expression because it's just overuse.
00:18:40.000Since I started in this line of work 11 years ago, it has always been, well, we'll get him in six months and we'll get him in six months and we'll get them in four months and we'll get them in five months and we'll get them in six months and we'll get them in six months and we'll get them in four months and we'll get them in three months and we'll get them in two months.
00:18:57.000And that's not an extra now for 11 years.
00:19:02.000And when Democrats are in Congress, you have no power, right?
00:19:05.000But the time Republicans have been in Congress, it's always like, oh, yeah, no, no, we understand it's a problem, but next, the appropriation thing or the debt ceiling thing or the continuing resolution.
00:19:15.000And they use these terms that I know what they mean.
00:19:19.000But the everyday working class person, God bless them, they're just being lied to by their elected officials.
00:19:24.000They know the difference between a CR, an appropriations bill, or a debt ceiling fight, or a markup, or an appropriate.
00:20:20.000This is they're sacking Rome and you are getting fat and happy and the Visigoths are like 90 miles outside from taking over the entire capital.
00:20:32.000And this is cheering wildly for full funding, no border security.
00:20:42.000I mean, the country is legitimately just disintegrating.
00:22:40.000I think these Republicans voted against it.
00:22:42.000And then Matt Gates countering Play Cut 18.
00:22:45.000Kevin McCarthy's going to get his wish.
00:22:47.000I don't think the adult in the room would allow America to sit atop a $33 trillion debt facing $2.2 trillion annual deficits.
00:22:55.000I don't think the adult in the room would allow $8 trillion of this debt to come into refinancing at a higher level without serious spending cuts.
00:23:05.000And I don't think the adult in the room would lie to House conservatives.
00:23:08.000And that is exactly what Kevin McCarthy did.
00:23:10.000So we look at this across the board, and you got to ask yourself the question, what have Republicans done with the mandate?
00:23:17.000Now, Chip Roy and Byron Donalds, they're pretty fired up right now, that whole group, because they had a piece of legislation that could have passed the House.
00:23:26.0008% cut in spending, would have secured the border and would have put it on the Senate.
00:23:36.000I'm in a different bucket, though, because some people are telling me, well, Charlie had to do this and punt it because it would have been a government shutdown.
00:23:48.000And honestly, it would have put the pressure on to get a better deal done.
00:23:52.000I think that is a fake and false threat by the bad guys.
00:23:56.000And I would have preferred a government shutdown than a 45-day delay that only makes the moderates weaker right before Christmas, right before Thanksgiving.
00:24:06.000Play one more piece of tape here, kind of about all these different things because Ukraine is a central part of this.
00:24:13.000So the CR that passed did not have extra Ukraine funding, but they're going to bring it back.
00:24:20.000Joe Biden says that the House has made that commitment to funding Zelensky's proxy war, play cut one.
00:24:28.000I hope my friends on the other side keep their word about support for Ukraine.
00:24:33.000They said they're going to support Ukraine in a separate vote.
00:24:37.000We cannot, under any circumstance, allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted.
00:24:42.000I fully expect the Speaker to keep his commitment to secure the passage and support needed to help Ukraine as they defend themselves against aggression and brutality.
00:24:51.000And I want to assure our American allies and the American people and the people of Ukraine that you can count on our support.
00:25:00.000Yeah, we will not walk away from our proxy war in Ukraine, but we're going to walk away from the invasion happening in El Paso or the southern border.
00:26:15.000And yet, every time it feels as if, regardless of how many election mandates we give, no matter how many pressure release valves that we pull, no matter how many times we tell Republicans, please go fight for me, please say no, please represent our values, we get the same sort of business as usual.
00:26:31.000Like, oh, we're going to do it in 45 days.
00:26:33.000And then they're just going to pass another six-month thing, or better yet, they'll pass like a 13-month thing.
00:26:37.000Oh, no, no, we're just going to, you know, go to the next Congress because it's a really important election and we can't do that.
00:26:43.000And the everyday commoner, the ordinary citizen, is looking at this and they get demoralized, disgruntled, angry, and so distrustful of all of our Washington, D.C. institutions that they just say, I'm done.
00:29:34.000University of California, Berkeley, three years ago, boom, fire alarm goes off.
00:29:38.000I cannot tell you how many times I could list at least 10 off the top of my head where we were doing a campus event and some form of an interruption, a fire alarm, a fake 911 call, breaking of windows, bomb threat, you name it, while we are doing an event where they tried to stop our Turning Point USA event or whatever it is.
00:30:26.000It has become the biggest story in right-wing circles, which I'm a little bit not thrilled about because the biggest story is the border is still open, Jack Smith still funded, and we're borrowing trillions of dollars we don't have.
00:30:36.000Here's Jamal Bowman, former high school principal, who can't tell the difference between a button to open a door and a fire alarm.
00:32:22.000What if Matt Gates called a fire alarm?
00:32:23.000If Matt Gates pulled a fire alarm, he would be in the J6, he would be like with the J6 defendants, 100% would be indicted in some sort of show trial.
00:32:32.000And Jamal Bowman's kind of like, man, I can't catch a break.
00:32:36.000I was just trying to go vote and pull the fire alarm, and everyone's calling me all these names.
00:32:40.000I don't know why this is such a big story.
