00:00:34.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

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

00:00:39.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:42.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:43.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:44.000 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.

00:00:53.000 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 Last evening, the United States Senate has officially passed the Ukrainian funding bill.

00:01:38.000 And the Ukrainian funding bill is also funding for Israel.

00:01:40.000 We support that, but also $9 billion for Hamas.

00:01:44.000 Do you know that?

00:01:45.000 That we're funding both sides of the conflict.

00:01:47.000 We're funding Hamas as much as we're funding Israel.

00:01:49.000 That's a lesser reported, just objectionable elements of this.

00:01:55.000 But let's focus on the Ukraine part.

00:01:57.000 So the Senate Ukraine bill passed rather easily, 70 to 29, with one U.S. senator missing the vote.

00:02:05.000 Fortunately, the bill does not have the de facto amnesty that James Langford wanted to give us.

00:02:12.000 No expanded deportations, no E-Verify, no asylum caps, no wall, nothing to change the southern border.

00:02:18.000 But the priority for some Senate Republicans is a foreign country.

00:02:25.000 Now, a couple years ago, if this vote would have taken place four or five years ago, or even two or three years ago, it would have been a 95 to 5 vote.

00:02:35.000 There would be a couple holdouts, Josh Hawley, Rand Paul, Mike Lee.

00:02:41.000 God bless him.

00:02:42.000 Now, this has passed, and we will name the names of the people that voted for this vile atrocity, for these people that stick middle fingers in your face and literally say you're not smart enough to know what's going on.

00:02:55.000 Not an exaggeration.

00:02:56.000 Wait till I read this quote from one of the U.S. senators.

00:02:59.000 But the buried lead and the positive here is that a majority of Republicans voted no.

00:03:05.000 Almost every Democrat except Bernie Sanders voted for this.

00:03:08.000 So the Democrats are the party of war.

00:03:10.000 They are the party of conflict.

00:03:12.000 They used to be the party that was against foreign intervention and expansionist powers, and they will pay a political price for that at the ballot box eventually.

00:03:22.000 But we'll put that aside.

00:03:25.000 Mitt Romney says that this is the most important vote that we will take in the U.S. Senate ever.

00:03:31.000 More important than the southern border, more important than cutting spending.

00:03:34.000 Mitt Romney's obsession is Vladimir Putin, is Russia.

00:03:41.000 Even though that we're about to enter a spring where Ukrainian men are going to be slaughtered, even though there's an entire generation of young Ukrainians that are gone, murdered, because the American regime, the great American empire, used poor Ukrainians as human shields, never being able to specify what success looks like.

00:04:03.000 And every single senator that voted for this, they're going to have to answer to some higher power one day why they sought war and not peace.

00:04:12.000 So, first, and I did this off the top of my head, and then we actually did the math.

00:04:17.000 It's rather remarkable.

00:04:19.000 First, the people that voted to send more money to Ukraine to keep the war going.

00:04:24.000 They couldn't care less about the border.

00:04:26.000 These people on this list repulse me, and they should you too.

00:04:31.000 These are the old school establishment, they don't care about voters, they think you're dumb.

00:04:36.000 Wait till I read to you one of these, this quote.

00:04:40.000 It will animate you.

00:04:41.000 Of course, leading the charge is the turtle.

00:04:44.000 Mitch McConnell voted for more money for Ukraine.

00:04:48.000 John Thune, we're going to do everything we can to get rid of him.

00:04:50.000 Boozman from Arkansas.

00:04:52.000 Capito from West Virginia.

00:04:55.000 Cassidy from Louisiana.

00:04:57.000 Susan Collins from Maine.

00:04:59.000 John Cornyn from Texas.

00:05:00.000 We have to primary him.

00:05:02.000 Texas Patriots, let's get our act together.

00:05:04.000 John Cornyn's done.

00:05:05.000 Kramer from North Dakota.

00:05:06.000 Kramer is up soon.

00:05:08.000 We got to get rid of him.

00:05:10.000 Yeah, he's come on the show.

00:05:11.000 He's a nice guy.

00:05:12.000 Enough.

00:05:13.000 This is the defining vote.

00:05:14.000 We warned them.

00:05:15.000 They said, I don't care about our voters.

00:05:17.000 I care about NATO.

00:05:19.000 Krapo from Idaho.

00:05:21.000 We're already working on getting a primary challenger of him.

00:05:23.000 Joni Ernst from Iowa.

00:05:25.000 I have to say, Joni Ernst will go down as one of the greatest disappointments of any U.S. senator in the modern era, last in the last decade.

00:05:33.000 She ran as this populist.

00:05:34.000 She ran as this.

00:05:35.000 We're going to make them squeal.

00:05:37.000 Chuck Grassley, I'm going to give him some grace.

00:05:41.000 He's been largely great on this stuff, but he's 90 years old.

00:05:45.000 I think he still thinks that the Soviet Union exists.

00:05:47.000 Too bad.

00:05:48.000 Hoven from North Dakota.

00:05:50.000 We got to get rid of him.

00:05:52.000 Kennedy from Louisiana.

00:05:55.000 I got to tell you, Kennedy plays you guys.

00:05:58.000 Not, this audience is smart, but I just mean the general conservative movement.

00:06:02.000 He goes on cable TV and he has all these sneaky one-liners.

00:06:07.000 Oh, you know, Joe Biden, he's so bad that you don't even know.

00:06:12.000 I don't need Joe Biden to tell me there's inflation.

00:06:15.000 Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.

00:06:18.000 Okay, great.

00:06:19.000 Thanks, Senator Kennedy.

00:06:20.000 You know, we know you workshop those one-liners all day.

00:06:23.000 You voted for money, Ukraine.

00:06:24.000 Enough of your little comic sketch, Senator Kennedy.

00:06:28.000 We're done.

00:06:30.000 Moran from Kansas, he's a joke.

00:06:32.000 Murkowski from Alaska.

00:06:33.000 We tried.

00:06:34.000 We failed.

00:06:35.000 Risch from Idaho.

00:06:36.000 We got to primary him.

00:06:37.000 Mitt Romney, he's already on the way out.

00:06:40.000 Mike Rounds from South Dakota.

00:06:41.000 Got to get rid of him.

00:06:43.000 Sullivan from Alaska.

00:06:44.000 Total disappointment.

00:06:45.000 Tom Tillis.

00:06:46.000 We're going to get back to him in a second.

00:06:48.000 Roger Wicker, who, by the way, has a primary coming up.

00:06:50.000 It's going to be tough.

00:06:51.000 He's got a lot of money.

00:06:52.000 Mississippi is a crooked state.

00:06:54.000 Mississippi is one of the most corrupt states in the country.

00:06:54.000 I'll tell you what.

00:06:58.000 And then Mr. Young from Indiana.

00:07:01.000 Now, let me read this quote from Tom Tillis, as if they just wanted to poke you.

00:07:07.000 This is how much these people hate you.

00:07:09.000 It's not an exaggeration.

00:07:10.000 They have contempt for you.

00:07:11.000 Tom Tillis, our base cannot possibly know what's at stake at the level that any well-briefed U.S. senator should know about what's at stake if Putin wins.

00:07:25.000 Oh, we have secret knowledge.

00:07:27.000 We're part of the secret society.

00:07:29.000 This is exactly the oligarchy that we are trying to crush.

00:07:34.000 Tom Tillis says, quote, our base cannot possibly know.

00:07:38.000 You're stupid.

00:07:40.000 Tom Tillis is basically doing the exact same thing that Hillary Rodham Clinton did when she called you a deplorable.

00:07:49.000 This is exactly what the foreign policy establishment has been saying for 30 years.

00:07:53.000 And when you challenge them, they all of a sudden get, for example, when I talk to some of these senators, I'm not saying they're dumb because obviously they're smart.

00:08:02.000 They became senators.

00:08:03.000 They ran for office, but they're not deep.

00:08:06.000 They're not deep.

00:08:07.000 That's a big difference.

00:08:08.000 They have intelligence.

00:08:10.000 They can navigate politics and maneuver.

00:08:14.000 But when you ask them a series of very simple questions, why do we hate Russia so much?

00:08:19.000 How is this in our best interest?

00:08:21.000 Does the war include liberating Crimea?

00:08:24.000 Do you know that Crimea is formerly part of Russia?

00:08:28.000 It's where Russian wine is from.

00:08:31.000 It's where the Russian naval fleet was stationed during the World War II.

00:08:34.000 Is this really a good idea?

00:08:36.000 There's no depth.

00:08:37.000 They say, well, we need to stop Putin.

00:08:42.000 Okay, well, can't we stop him if we broke our peace?

00:08:45.000 No, democracy is at risk.

00:08:48.000 It's as if they get into these automaton-type answers.

00:08:52.000 And it's always back to World War II muscle memory.

00:08:56.000 That NATO is the greatest thing ever.

00:08:58.000 We must keep on expanding NATO, even though we've lied to Vladimir Putin repeatedly.

00:09:01.000 He lies to us.

00:09:02.000 We lie to him.

00:09:03.000 It's a mutual relationship of deceit.

00:09:06.000 Putin's not a good guy.

00:09:08.000 He's not the worst person on the planet.

00:09:10.000 And he certainly is not the greatest threat to our country.

00:09:13.000 But if you ask, you know, Senator Krapo and Senator Risch and Senator Wicker, they believe Vladimir Putin poses a greater threat to America than the Sinaola drug cartel on the southern border.

00:09:26.000 How many of you know someone who's been killed by a Russian?

00:09:29.000 Do you know anyone?

00:09:30.000 I would love to hear from you.

00:09:31.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:09:32.000 Maybe.

00:09:34.000 Almost every single one of you knows somebody killed by a drug cartel through a drug overdose, through an illegal that was driving under the influence, the raping, the murder, the kidnapping.

00:09:45.000 Just one more time for those of you in the back.

00:09:48.000 Tom Tillis, our base cannot possibly know what's at stake at the level that any well-briefed U.S. senator should know about what's at stake if Putin wins.

00:09:58.000 You guys are just too stupid, is what Tom Tillis is saying.

00:10:02.000 You know, all of you that send emails and make phone calls that pay your taxes, the plumbers, electricians, the welders, those of you that are the backbone of this great country, just stop trying because you're stupid.

00:10:16.000 That is the message that, and here's the good news.

00:10:19.000 We'll talk about it in a second.

00:10:20.000 That a minority of Senate Republicans sent, not a majority.

00:10:27.000 As we've all seen over the past few years, the amount of heavy metals, microplastics, and other toxins we are all exposed to has only increased.

00:10:35.000 These are important world issues we must continue to discuss.

00:10:38.000 And since you know that I take my health seriously, I only stand by the best.

00:10:42.000 One company that is aware of these global challenges and that I proudly support is Ascent Nutrition, which has unique health products meant for these times.

00:10:50.000 One I've been using is their Pine Pollen Tincture, which contains 200 nutrients and important components like glutathione and DHEA.

00:10:59.000 Glutathione is known for healthy detoxification and immune support, while DHEA is known as the happiness hormone and supports mood and brain health.

00:11:09.000 Pine pollen is also nature's highest source of special phytohormones, which support hormone function, libido, and adrenal health.

00:11:17.000 I love it because you could truly feel the benefits.

00:11:20.000 And since I am now telling everyone about it, they expect to sell out fast.

00:11:24.000 Before they sell out, click the link in the description below and use the code Kirk to save 10% on your Pine Pollen Tincture and all other products.

00:11:35.000 So here's the good news.

00:11:37.000 I have the list of everyone who voted for this reprehensible piece of legislation and everyone who voted against it.

00:11:45.000 And there's an interesting data point that we will build out.

00:11:48.000 There are more people who voted against this than for it.

00:11:52.000 Now, there are two ways to interpret this.

00:11:54.000 Number one is the power of you, this audience.

00:11:58.000 Again, a couple years ago, there would have been five people.

00:12:01.000 It would have been just demoralizing.

00:12:03.000 Two years ago, things have changed and the political climate has changed.

00:12:08.000 Now, some of these people who voted no, they wanted to vote yes, but they just allowed the old bulls who were retiring, who were in very deep, comfortable red states like Kramer, like Crapo, like Grassley to take the hit for them.

00:12:23.000 There was some vote swapping.

00:12:24.000 For example, Lindsey Graham voted no on this because he said, well, I want it to be a structural loan.

00:12:29.000 Lindsey Graham wanted this to pass.

00:12:31.000 He saw he did the vote tallying.

00:12:33.000 He did the vote counting and he wanted to get some protection.

00:12:38.000 So he voted no.

00:12:39.000 There are other people here, though, that legitimately are starting to move on these issues.

00:12:44.000 Yesterday, we had three great senators, Vance, Tuberville, Lee, and they're starting to influence their colleagues.

00:12:53.000 Ron Johnson was a no.

00:12:55.000 John Barroso, who's in leadership, was a no.

00:12:57.000 Steve Daines, who runs the NRSC.

00:12:59.000 Steve Daines has been a friend for years.

00:13:01.000 Steve is very smart.

00:13:02.000 He knows that running the NRSC would be a bad look right now as he's engaging in primaries to also vote for a deeply unpopular piece of legislation.

00:13:12.000 One that I want to commend here is Senator Mullen from Oklahoma.

00:13:17.000 He originally voted for the first draft of this thing, you know, the ability to move it forward, and he was a no.

00:13:22.000 And you guys lit up the phone lines.

00:13:24.000 You deserve credit for that.

00:13:26.000 This audience, we focused on Senator Mullen, and he was a no.

00:13:29.000 So here are the people who voted no because they deserve to be mentioned.

00:13:33.000 Let me see if you can notice a similarity or a difference between the two lists.

00:13:39.000 JD Vance, Hawley, Tuberville, Cruz.

00:13:42.000 Cruz is a Russia hawk.

00:13:44.000 Good for you, Ted Cruz.

00:13:47.000 Rubio, Rubio's been a neocon galore, and he's been backing off of that.

00:13:52.000 Somebody should write the story.

00:13:54.000 It's been very quiet, is the radicalization of Marco Rubio.

00:13:58.000 It's been a very fascinating development over the last couple of years.

00:14:02.000 He's getting more populist.

00:14:03.000 He's getting more outspoken.

00:14:05.000 Rubio's been excellent.

00:14:06.000 I say this in a very positive way.

00:14:08.000 Rick Scott, Tim Scott, Lindsey Graham, which I don't believe.

00:14:12.000 Lindsey Graham vote is, I know I'm up next cycle, and I'm afraid because people are talking about primary challenges.

00:14:19.000 So he vote swapped.

00:14:20.000 He vote traded.

00:14:21.000 I don't believe it.

00:14:22.000 That is the right vote.

00:14:23.000 Mark Wayne Mullen, good for you.

00:14:25.000 Lankford.

00:14:26.000 Yeah, Lankford run into the hills.

00:14:28.000 He's just running for the hills.

00:14:30.000 He's had enough.

00:14:31.000 He's crying for mercy.

00:14:32.000 Rand Paul, American hero.

00:14:33.000 Mike Braun, who I think is retiring to run for governor.

00:14:36.000 Katie Britt, great.

00:14:39.000 Tom Cotton, Roger Marshall, Cindy Hyde Smith from Mississippi.

00:14:42.000 Eric Schmidt, excellent.

00:14:44.000 Steve Daines, Deb Fisher, who's also up next cycle.

00:14:47.000 Pete Ricketts, Ted Budd, Marsha Blackburn, Bill Hagerney, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, John Barasso, Cynthia Lemma.

00:14:54.000 So there were more Republicans that voted against it than for it.

00:14:57.000 So there's a couple takeaways.

00:14:58.000 Number one, your voice is starting to penetrate the U.S. Senate.

00:15:02.000 This is the hardest place to actually get a hearing.

00:15:05.000 They care the least about you.

00:15:07.000 Number two, understand some of this list is a little bit artificial because there's a lot of vote swapping.

00:15:12.000 There's only two people that voted for this package that are up this cycle.

00:15:17.000 And they're probably going to advance through a primary.

00:15:19.000 And that's Senator Kramer and Wicker.

00:15:23.000 So there was a lot of vote swapping, a lot.

00:15:26.000 Meaning like, hey, can you bail me out?

00:15:28.000 Because I don't want to deal with the primary challenge.

00:15:30.000 A lot of that.

00:15:30.000 The same time, the fact that they were vote swapping means that they acknowledge that things are changing, that you are starting to change them.

00:15:39.000 In fact, for Tom Cotton, who I really like, but I just think he's so wrong on foreign policy stuff.

00:15:45.000 Tom Cotton's amazing on immigration.

00:15:46.000 He's great on the deep state stuff.

00:15:48.000 He's great on so much stuff on foreign policy stuff.

00:15:50.000 I just cannot disagree with some of his beliefs more.

00:15:52.000 And I say he's a friend.

00:15:53.000 He's been great and we work with him really well.

00:15:55.000 On COVID, he was excellent.

00:15:57.000 He was really good on the riot stuff.

00:15:58.000 He's really good on all that.

00:16:00.000 He voted no.

00:16:01.000 There is a data point that is noteworthy that I want to emphasize.

00:16:08.000 There are a few outliers to this data point, but it's worth isolating and talking about.

00:16:14.000 There's something that the no's have far more in common than the yeses.

00:16:20.000 And it's reflected in polling.

00:16:22.000 It's reflected in what we're seeing on the ground.

00:16:24.000 It's reflected in the generational type move.

00:16:30.000 And it's fascinating.

00:16:33.000 The no's have something very much in common.

00:16:38.000 And the yeses have something very much in common.

00:16:44.000 Hey, everybody.

00:16:45.000 I know interest rates are not what they were a couple years ago, but I want to give you my perspective.

00:16:49.000 Did you know in 1971, the interest rate for a mortgage was 7.33%?

00:16:54.000 If you waited for the interest rate to go down, you would not have purchased a home until 1993.

00:16:59.000 Renting for 22 years while you waited.

00:17:01.000 In the meantime, the value of real estate quadrupled.

00:17:04.000 Don't wait to buy real estate.

00:17:06.000 Marry the house, not the rate.

00:17:07.000 You could always refinance everybody.

00:17:09.000 Take advantage of the slower market now, and you can, again, refinance when rates go down.

00:17:15.000 Once rates start dropping, the frenzy will start all over again.

00:17:19.000 My friends, Andrew Del Rey and Todd of Akien are amazing, and they recently helped me with the purchase, and they could help you too.

00:17:25.000 They've been amazing to work with.

00:17:26.000 I can't say enough good things about Andrew Del Rey and Todd of Akien.

00:17:30.000 888, 888, 1172, or go to andrewandodd.com.

00:17:34.000 It's andrewandodd.com.

00:17:35.000 Look, if you are Gen Z or millennial, you have a little bit of money put aside, it might be the best opportunity to go to andrewandod.com and buy a home, get in the market.

00:17:44.000 Once you're in the buyer's game, you must never leave the buyer game.

00:17:47.000 And again, I encourage you guys to check it out right now.

00:17:50.000 Interest rates, they're signaling that they're going to go down, but don't wait.

00:17:54.000 The price of real estate very well might continue to go up.

00:17:57.000 Go to AndrewandTodd.com, andrewandTodd.com.

00:18:03.000 So I'm going to get into this.

00:18:05.000 This will bother some of you in the audience.

00:18:08.000 So understand that there are exceptions to all of this, but this is generally the truth.

00:18:12.000 And you and the audience are generally an exception if you fit this criteria.

00:18:18.000 The people who voted for the Ukraine aid bill, on average, are 10 years older than the people who voted against it.

00:18:27.000 That is a one-decade deviation.

00:18:31.000 In fact, if you remove Joni Ernst and Todd Young, then the average age of who voted for the Ukraine funding package is somebody in their 70s.

00:18:42.000 Now, I have nothing against people in their 70s.

00:18:44.000 This is not an indictment of anybody that's a certain age, but it's an interesting observation.

00:18:50.000 The average age of who voted against the bill was 58 years old.

00:18:56.000 In fact, every single one of the youngest senators, from Vance to Hawley to Mark Wayne Mullen, after there was some pressure applied by you, Katie Britt, Tom Cotton, Eric Schmidt, every single senator under the age of 50 in the Republican conference voted against it.

00:19:17.000 Is this noteworthy?

00:19:19.000 It is because it is consistent with something we've been talking about on this program.

00:19:24.000 And it's consistent with polling trends that are manifesting, which is that if you are politically engaged as a young conservative, you are far more conservative and less regime neoliberal uniparty than your older counterparts.

00:19:46.000 And of course, there are exceptions.

00:19:48.000 Many of you are exceptions.

00:19:50.000 But it's a fascinating takeaway.

00:19:52.000 And in some ways, it's a promising takeaway.

00:19:55.000 Look at the difference between JD Vance, who is 39 years old, and Mitch McConnell, who is 81 years old.

00:20:04.000 Look at the difference between Josh Hawley, who is 44 years old, and Chuck Grassley, who is 90 years old.

00:20:12.000 Again, this is not a criticism of people who are in their 80s or 90s.

00:20:15.000 There's many of you who listen and to this program and watch this show in your 80s or 90s, and you think it's a huge mistake to send money to Ukraine.

00:20:23.000 However, the general trend is that in the conservative movement, in the Republican Party, the older you are, the more likely you are to believe the following, that the Cold War is still ongoing, that Russia is our greatest threat, that the American government can do no wrong, that we must be at war at all times.

00:20:47.000 The Josh Hawley, JD Vance, America First agenda is one that asks critical questions, listens to voters, and realizes that three to four decades of perpetual warmongering has made this country weaker, has deteriorated our homeland.

00:21:05.000 Understand that Mitch McConnell still thinks that we are this untouchable world superpower.

00:21:13.000 We're still powerful, but we are daily losing our advantage, our title as the world's superpower.

00:21:24.000 Another question I have for Mitch McConnell, who's 81 years old, is: are you really proud of the country that you are handing down to the next generation?

00:21:34.000 We are borrowing $2 trillion a year.

00:21:39.000 What is the legacy that you are leaving?

00:21:42.000 And JD Vance has something a lot different than Mitch McConnell.

00:21:45.000 JD Vance has young children.

00:21:48.000 Josh Hawley has young children.

00:21:50.000 I have young children.

00:21:52.000 This is why the greatest criticism that I receive are from Republicans in their 60s and 70s.

00:21:59.000 Also, the greatest support I receive are from Republicans in their 60s or 70s.

00:22:04.000 But you want to know who the most on fire America first patriots and activists are in the movement?

00:22:12.000 They tend to be under the age of 25.

00:22:14.000 Look at this amazing clip that confirms what I'm talking about at a Trump rally in South Carolina, PlayCut 43.

00:22:22.000 Why are you guys mad?

00:22:23.000 Why are you Trump?

00:22:23.000 Why do you support Trump so much?

00:22:26.000 Liberty and justice for all.

00:22:28.000 Amen.

00:22:29.000 He's not getting.

00:22:35.000 We do not like the propaganda.

00:22:37.000 We're here for the truth.

00:22:39.000 Get somebody to jump out of here.

00:22:39.000 That's it.

00:22:41.000 Get out of here.

00:22:42.000 We gotta go.

00:22:43.000 CNN, MSNBC, all the other.

00:22:49.000 100%.

00:22:50.000 Blue-haired boys gotta go.

00:22:54.000 Only two genders.

00:22:56.000 Two genders.

00:22:57.000 No more.

00:22:58.000 Young boys are the most conservative they have been in 50 years.

00:23:05.000 50 years.

00:23:09.000 There is a reason why the youngest of the caucus voted the way they did.

00:23:17.000 The other reason is they tend to be online more.

00:23:19.000 They tend to be on social media.

00:23:21.000 They tend to consume different information.

00:23:24.000 Mitch McConnell doesn't care about his voters.

00:23:26.000 Tom Tillis doesn't care about his voters.

00:23:29.000 These are septogenarian and octogenarian uniparty types that are intentionally disconnected from the will of the people.

00:23:39.000 The other part is less generational and it's just more political transactional.

00:23:46.000 The younger you are, the more likely you want to build a political career.

00:23:50.000 And these votes are political suicide.

00:23:53.000 So Katie Britt from Alabama, she knows that she would face a primary challenge if she were to vote incorrectly on this bill.

00:24:01.000 And I get asked all the time, they say, Charlie, why is it that younger conservatives are far more vocal and they're more, dare I say, based than their older counterparts?

00:24:15.000 It's because they have to feel and taste the Marxists on a daily basis.

00:24:22.000 They get ridiculed for using the wrong pronouns.

00:24:25.000 They get kicked off of social media because they made an incorrect joke.

00:24:29.000 They have to get put into a struggle session at their high school or college because they're a white male.

00:24:36.000 They were forced to take a vaccine, even though it was mRNA gene-altering technology.

00:24:42.000 Do you know what I hear on a daily basis?

00:24:45.000 On a daily basis, I hear that would never happen in America.

00:24:49.000 Charlie, you're over-exaggerating how bad things are.

00:24:52.000 Do you know who criticizes my language when I call what's happening on the southern border an invasion?

00:24:58.000 It's not the 25-year-olds.

00:25:00.000 It's not the 30-year-olds.

00:25:02.000 They feel the country collapsing.

00:25:05.000 And part of it, and it's tragic, but it's understandable and it needs to change, is that people like Roger Wicker, Kennedy from Louisiana, Crapo from Idaho, John Cornyn, Capito from West Virginia, they live in boomer denial.

00:25:26.000 That doesn't mean every boomer does, but they do.

00:25:29.000 And the denial is that they know nothing but a powerful America, peace, prosperity, and rising highs on a stock market.

00:25:38.000 Let's just keep on doing what we've always been doing.

00:25:41.000 If you listen to Mitch McConnell's speech last evening, which I encourage Ryan to get, it is so clear to any independent observer that Mitch McConnell has not processed the news cycle of the last 20 years.

00:25:56.000 Here he is, he's mumbling along about how we came to the aid of our allies in World War II.

00:26:05.000 World War II has defined the modern world.

00:26:09.000 World War II is the closest thing to the American resurrection that we'll ever have.

00:26:16.000 Everything is centered around World War II.

00:26:19.000 Our trade policy, our immigration policy, our foreign policy, how we think about spending, our bureaucracies.

00:26:27.000 World War II changed everything.

00:26:29.000 Can Mitch McConnell ever make an argument for funding Ukraine without mentioning World War II?

00:26:36.000 He was born in 1942, and he still thinks that America is this untouchable superpower.

00:26:44.000 Play Cut 47.

00:26:46.000 Providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians.

00:26:52.000 That's the number one priority for the United States right now.

00:26:57.000 According to most Republicans, that's sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment.

00:27:06.000 McConnell is all in.

00:27:08.000 It's amazing.

00:27:09.000 You know, at the Turning Point Conference, people of all ages, when we pull this topic, 99% say no more money to Ukraine.

00:27:16.000 And by the way, Mitch McConnell is now a co-sponsor to killing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian boys, a generational slaughter.

00:27:23.000 Every single one of these people are going to have to answer to a higher power.

00:27:26.000 But hey, they get a nice seat at the Munich Security Conference.

00:27:29.000 They go take a Codel overseas.

00:27:31.000 Your, not all of them, a minority of your Republican senators, and we're going to have to chip this away.

00:27:36.000 Every single one of these people are going to have to be removed.

00:27:40.000 Every single one of them.

00:27:42.000 It's just a matter of time.

00:27:44.000 Here's the good news, though, and I don't do this segment as ridicule.

00:27:47.000 The good news is that the younger generation of the Republican Party reflects many of your values better than your generational counterparts in the Senate do.

00:27:58.000 So there's no need to get defensive.

00:28:00.000 There's no need to reject what I'm saying.

00:28:02.000 What I'm saying, though, is that the cavalry that is ascendant, the reinforcements that are coming, are far more in lockstep with how many of you see the world than your fellow baby boomers or your fellow generational counterparts do, like Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins.

00:28:26.000 And that is a promising thing.

00:28:28.000 That means give it time and we'll get better votes, better laws, better legislation, and hopefully a better country.

00:29:34.000 I think so highly of Mike Lindell.

00:29:36.000 He's a great patriot.

00:29:37.000 He's a terrific person.

00:29:38.000 Go to mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:29:44.000 I'm going to play a couple pieces of tape here.

00:29:46.000 Here's Senator Ron Johnson, who's excellent talking about what is necessary for peace.

00:29:53.000 This was in an online Twitter space.

00:29:55.000 David Sachs asks Senator JD Vance, Ron Johnson, and Mike Lee to investigate allegations that Boris Johnson and the Biden administration sabotaged the Russia peace deal.

00:30:03.000 I cannot emphasize this enough.

00:30:06.000 My great friend and mentor, Dennis Prager, is one of the most intellectually honest people in commentary.

00:30:15.000 Dennis Prager was in support of the Ukraine funding against Russia from the beginning.

00:30:22.000 He was very morally clear.

00:30:23.000 We disagreed, but his reasons were far better than Mitch McConnell's reasons.

00:30:27.000 I got to be honest.

00:30:28.000 Dennis Prager, to his great credit, and always, because he's a legend, we were at a Salem Radio Network event with Mark Levin back in the fall, and the Ukraine topic came up.

00:30:43.000 And I expected Dennis to respond as he typically did on the Ukraine issue.

00:30:48.000 And what he said surprised me.

00:30:51.000 Dennis said that if it is true that the American government dispatched Tony Blinken via Boris Johnson, via Tony Blinken, via Joe Biden to obliterate a peace deal, it will be one of the great moral crimes of this century.

00:31:08.000 And it's very hard for him to continue to support the proliferation of the war if that is true.

00:31:15.000 That is a great point that Dennis Prager makes, which is how can you keep on supporting this war when the American government got in the way of a peace deal?

00:31:26.000 And that's one of the other things that's very hard for Mitch McConnell to swallow.

00:31:30.000 Are we really the good guys?

00:31:32.000 How can you say the American government is on the side of truth and justice and morality when we go and blow up a potential peace deal?

00:31:43.000 Play Cut 54.

00:31:45.000 My concern is exactly what you articulated.

00:31:47.000 If you have an extended war of attrition, every day that goes by, there are Ukrainian boys that are, and not even boys anymore because they're running out of boys.

00:31:57.000 You're losing, Ukraine is losing people every day.

00:32:00.000 And if you're going to spend lives, it must be for a purpose.

00:32:04.000 And not just, you know, a mile here, a mile there.

00:32:10.000 In fact, a mile back and forth.

00:32:12.000 The lines aren't moving.

00:32:13.000 So just every day, people die.

00:32:16.000 For what purpose?

00:32:17.000 And for those who want regime change in Russia, they should think about who is the person that could take out Putin.

00:32:23.000 And is that person likely to be a peacenick?

00:32:25.000 Probably not.

00:32:26.000 They're probably going to be even harder, even more hardcore than Putin if they took him out.

00:32:31.000 That's Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man in the Twitter space, speaking far more moral clarity than the minority of the Senate Republicans.

00:32:38.000 And he's right.

00:32:39.000 What are we gaining here?

00:32:41.000 These senators that are financing this, they don't care.

00:32:44.000 I mean, I'm going to text some of these guys.

00:32:47.000 They're going to be like, oh, we have to fight.

00:32:50.000 Mile here, mile there.

00:32:51.000 They are co-sponsoring the slaughter.

00:32:53.000 And remember, we got in the way of the peace deal.

00:32:56.000 I have two really quick points, but I want to play Cut 55.

00:32:59.000 Number one, Elon Musk deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:33:02.000 Elon Musk deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:33:06.000 I'm reading the Walter Isaacson Elon Musk biography.

00:33:10.000 He'll never get the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:33:11.000 You might say, what do you mean?

00:33:13.000 Do you know that the Ukrainian government went to Elon Musk?

00:33:17.000 This was reported, but he never got credit for this.

00:33:19.000 They wanted to do a coordinated drone strike using Starlink after the Russian Navy that very well could have triggered nuclear war.

00:33:27.000 And Elon stood up to the Ukrainian and U.S. government and refused.

00:33:31.000 Elon Musk was a one-man check on the maniacal bloodlust of the Central Intelligence Agency.

00:33:41.000 Let's play Cut 55.

00:33:43.000 Could we get a real investigation, like some congressional oversight, a congressional investigation of what exactly happened in that sort of March, April period at the beginning of the war, where, again, they had a draft agreement in Istanbul, and then Boris Johnson came in and the Ukrainians walked away.

00:34:03.000 I mean, I would love for the Congress to be able to ask real questions of the administration in its oversight capacity, asking what was your involvement in sabotaging that deal?

00:34:15.000 That is a very difficult pill to swallow.

00:34:20.000 If it's true, which it looks like it is, the American government is partially to blame for the continuation of this war.

00:34:29.000 The American government has blood on its hands.

00:34:32.000 And that's hard.

00:34:33.000 It's hard if you grew up actually loving the country, which I love the country, but I don't love the government.

00:34:39.000 It's hard to stomach that your own regime wants hundreds of thousands of dead people.

00:34:45.000 Certainly seems to be the case.

00:34:50.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
