00:01:04.000 In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.
00:01:07.000 At least it used to be.

00:01:36.000 When I'm driving to and from the studio after a long day of work, I just flip open a book on thinker.org, and you can do it at thinker.org slash Charlie, and I try to learn something new every day.
00:01:47.000 If you want to learn something new and challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons, go to thinker.org, th-h-i-n-k-r.org slash Charlie to start a free trial today.
00:02:00.000 Hey, everybody, welcome back.
00:02:02.000 This is the Charlie Kirk show.
00:02:04.000 So I want to get into this story with Congressman Hoyer, who has just announced that there is no deal in trying to kick out Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:02:18.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene is a Congresswoman from Georgia.
00:02:23.000 She won convincingly with 75% of the vote. 1.00
00:02:26.000 So obviously her voters wanted her there.
00:02:30.000 And now there is a growing movement.
00:02:33.000 I have not seen a pathological obsession amongst Democrats in the media to remove, condemn, and censure a Republican since Alan West.
00:02:45.000 Now, a lot of you do not remember Alan West.
00:02:49.000 Alan West is now the head of the Republican Party of Texas, but he was very outspoken against the Obama administration.
00:02:57.000 Now, Democrats also did similar tactics against Congressman Steve King, Congressman Dana Rohrbrocker.
00:03:06.000 But Alan West is really the last time I think I saw Democrats get this apoplectic about a sitting member of Congress.
00:03:14.000 This has dominated almost all of the cable news coverage.
00:03:17.000 You cannot watch CNN or MSNBC without a segment about Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:03:26.000 There have been in-depth investigations from the highest levels of the New York Times, the New Yorker, Huffington Post, BuzzFeed.
00:03:32.000 It is a full court press.
00:03:34.000 The Democrats don't seem to be slowing down.
00:03:37.000 They want her not just removed from committee assignments. 0.99
00:03:41.000 They want her not just censured, but they want her expelled from Congress. 0.52
00:03:49.000 I'm going to quote here.
00:03:50.000 I'm not really sure what this is from, but it's in our document here that we use to prep.
00:03:55.000 Members rarely get expelled from Congress, an action that requires a two-thirds majority.
00:04:01.000 20 total members of Congress, 15 senators and 5 House lawmakers, have been expelled from their seats, according to a Congressional Research Service report from 2018.
00:04:10.000 The late Representative James A. Treficient Jr. was the most recent example of a member expelled from the House.
00:04:16.000 The Ohio Democrat was expelled in 2002 after he was convicted of bribery, illegal, gratuities, defrauding the government, and other crimes.
00:04:24.000 Censure and reprimand are other forms of official punishment and both require a simple majority.
00:04:30.000 But expulsion, getting expelled from Congress, requires a two-thirds vote.
00:04:37.000 Why are Democrats so focused on Marjorie Taylor Greene?
00:04:44.000 The answer is actually quite obvious.
00:04:49.000 Read Saolinski.
00:04:51.000 Look, the Democrats don't want to govern.
00:04:52.000 They control everything, yet they know their policies are super unpopular.
00:04:56.000 They know that they're going to continue the lockdowns, keep the school closures.
00:05:00.000 They know that unemployment statistics are about to be rather unfavorable.
00:05:09.000 They know that the stock market is on a sugar high and is likely to crash anytime soon, at least go through a correction.
00:05:16.000 Democrats know all of this.
00:05:19.000 And so they are taking Saolinski's rules for radicals.
00:05:23.000 And rule number either eight or nine, I'll have to look it up, is pick a target, freeze it, polarize it, personalize it.
00:05:33.000 You see, the Democrats want to continue a narrative that there is a potential uprising happening, but it's really not just on the fringes.
00:05:45.000 It's within Congress and within the Republican Party.
00:05:49.000 It's Rule 13.
00:05:51.000 And so the Democrats are following Solinsky's rules for radicals.
00:05:54.000 Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
00:05:56.000 Hey, I got it right word for word.
00:05:59.000 I've read way too much Solinsky in my life.
00:06:01.000 If you don't know who Solinsky is, he is the community organizer who taught Barack Obama everything about dividing communities.
00:06:10.000 Hillary Clinton wrote her senior thesis on Solinsky.
00:06:13.000 He dedicated Rules for Radicals to the devil.
00:06:16.000 No, actually, the dedication to Rules for Radicals is to Lucifer, where Solinsky says to the first radical, the first rebel, Saul Alinsky.
00:06:29.000 So the Democrats now need a face.
00:06:33.000 They need a name to show the country and the media that there's an excuse not to govern.
00:06:42.000 There's an excuse not to open the country.
00:06:44.000 There's an excuse not to fix the economy.
00:06:46.000 There's an excuse not to address the concerns of the country.
00:06:50.000 The excuse is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:06:53.000 The entire Marjorie Taylor Greene exercise, regardless of your feelings about her, the things that she said prior, and I'm not going to get into all of it.
00:07:02.000 I'm not.
00:07:02.000 Because there's some things that she said that's been unearthed that I disagree with and that I just, I wouldn't have said and I don't support.
00:07:10.000 But it's completely irrelevant. 0.50
00:07:11.000 It's up to her voters to get rid of her. 1.00
00:07:13.000 It's not up to Congress to get rid of her. 1.00
00:07:15.000 The members of Congress want to be a check against the voters of her district. 1.00
00:07:20.000 She should have to go to her voters and be held accountable to the things that she said.
00:07:24.000 It's that simple. 0.96
00:07:25.000 However, the Democrats, they want a constant distraction.
00:07:30.000 You see, there's a sleight of hand happening right now.
00:07:34.000 If you've ever seen a good magician, you know that they distract you while they are doing the real trick.
00:07:40.000 It's what the Democrats are doing right now.
00:07:42.000 There's a great theft happening to our country.
00:07:44.000 A theft of our culture, a theft of our wealth.
00:07:48.000 It's a great theft.
00:07:50.000 And the only thing that might prevent the theft from completion is if the American people wake up and say, I don't like that.
00:07:58.000 Why are you doing that?
00:08:00.000 Well, the way that you distract from the theft, the way that you not just distract, but you prevent any backlash from it, is you create a political smokescreen device.
00:08:15.000 And that political smokescreen device is impeachment, the expulsion of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the baseless connection that the Republican Party is the party of QAnon, whatever the heck that is.
00:08:31.000 The Democrats are doing this intentionally.
00:08:33.000 Breaking right now on NBC News, House Democrats to vote on punishing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after GOP fails to take action.
00:08:41.000 That's the framing.
00:08:43.000 It's the Republicans' fault because they don't want to get rid of her.
00:08:47.000 But the Democrats have done this for decades.
00:08:51.000 The last time they did this, this intensely to someone that has not a lot of power was to Sarah Palin.
00:09:01.000 When they character assassinated Sarah Palin, I was just getting started in politics.
00:09:05.000 I was a freshman in high school.
00:09:07.000 A lot of you remember it very well.
00:09:10.000 One of the most repeated quotes from Sarah Palin is something she never actually said.
00:09:18.000 Tina Faye said it on SNL.
00:09:20.000 Yet a majority of people in the Democrat Party, if you go up to them and you say, true or false, Sarah Palin said, I can see Russia from my house, they'll say true.
00:09:30.000 She never said that.
00:09:32.000 Instead, Sarah Palin, who you might have your own disagreements with, said that being governor of Alaska, we have to deal with certain geopolitical issues because of our proximity to Russia, which is entirely true, by the way.
00:09:46.000 You have to deal with shipping lanes.
00:09:49.000 You have to deal with all sorts of different disputes of trading and all sorts of different issues.
00:09:54.000 And that was the argument Sarah Palin was making.
00:09:58.000 Instead, if you remember back, most people now still believe that Sarah Palin said, I can see Russia from my house.
00:10:06.000 Now, with Marjorie Taylor Green, they've realized the Solinsky rule works.
00:10:12.000 They picked their target.
00:10:14.000 They found someone who has said some things that are pretty controversial in their past.
00:10:19.000 They found someone that is not willing to back down, someone that talks to President Trump, and they are going to focus on her until they find the next one.
00:10:29.000 If Marjorie Taylor Green resigned from Congress today, they will not move on.
00:10:34.000 They'll find the next target.
00:10:36.000 They'll find the next person.
00:10:38.000 There's a great theft occurring in our country.
00:10:42.000 And the Democrats are trying to hide behind a mirage, vapor, so that you don't ask very simple questions of them.
00:10:53.000 Like, hey, Nancy Pelosi, why did you buy a million dollars in Tesla stock?
00:10:57.000 Is that a conflict of interest?
00:11:02.000 Are you guys sick of all the cancel culture?

00:12:11.000 Democrats are pathologically focused on removing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:12:18.000 Congressman Andy Biggs, Cut 54, has a response to that, Cut 54.
00:12:25.000 We're talking about statements that were made before she was even ever a candidate to Congress.
00:12:31.000 And that, I think, has some bearing here.
00:12:34.000 And maybe what should happen is you let Republicans take care of our own, and you Democrats take care of your own.
00:12:41.000 So, yeah, Congressman Biggs is saying these are statements that she said before she went to Congress.
00:12:47.000 Let me be very clear.
00:12:48.000 I think some of her statements before she came to Congress are not great.
00:12:53.000 They're pretty awful. 0.92
00:12:55.000 But that's what elections are for. 1.00
00:12:58.000 Have the people of her district hold her accountable, not other members of Congress.
00:13:02.000 She didn't say this while she was a sitting member.
00:13:04.000 She didn't say this on the House floor.
00:13:06.000 And while we're in the business of removing members of Congress, whatever happened to Eric Swawell and his lover, Fang Fang, Marjorie Taylor Greene made statements before she became a member of Congress.
00:13:21.000 I'm not even going to get into the specifics of it from what I've seen and what I've read.
00:13:25.000 She has some explaining to do.
00:13:28.000 Eric Swawell, on the other hand, allegedly slept around with a CCP spy, staffed his office with interns from Fang Fang, and he gets promoted to become a House impeachment manager.
00:13:44.000 Nancy Pelosi rubbing it right in our face.
00:13:47.000 So while we're talking about expelling members of Congress, how about having romantic relationships with a Chinese Communist Party agent?
00:13:56.000 Would that qualify as reason for expulsion?
00:14:01.000 While we're talking about stripping people of their committees, what about Elon Omar?
00:14:08.000 Elon Omar, who said after 9-11, some people did something.
00:14:12.000 Elon Omar has a track record of opposing American foreign policy.
00:14:19.000 In fact, if I remember correctly, she said something about in Somali, the Somali war, America was the bad guys.
00:14:27.000 So now Republican lawmakers are seeking a countermeasure to strip Elon Omar of her campaign assignments, of her committee assignments, I should say, because of her anti-Semitic statements.
00:14:40.000 Brian Babbin, Jeff Duncan, Jody Heiss, Andy Biggs, and Ronnie Jackson are sponsoring the resolution.
00:14:45.000 Is this really what we want to turn Congress into?
00:14:48.000 We got a lot of problems in our country, and this is exactly why I focused so much attention on Ron DeSantis, because Congress has become a circus.
00:14:56.000 We're removing people from office.
00:14:57.000 We're impeaching prior presidents.
00:15:00.000 Congress has become nothing but kabuki theater.
00:15:05.000 This is not governing.
00:15:07.000 And I support Republicans for now having a countermeasure because the Democrats have to know if they're going to try to take out one of our Republicans from committee assignments and from Congress, well, then that standard must apply to all people.
00:15:18.000 They're doing the right thing.
00:15:19.000 Is it good for the country?
00:15:20.000 Of course not.
00:15:22.000 None of this is good for the country.
00:15:27.000 And the country is already on borrowed time right now politically.
00:15:33.000 People say, well, why is our country so divided?
00:15:35.000 Well, I don't know.
00:15:36.000 Maybe because the party that is running our entire government is completely and totally disinterested in governing.
00:15:44.000 You see, the Democrats, Whether they're in power or not, act as if they're in the minority, always.
00:15:53.000 And by the minority, I mean they do not have more votes than Republicans.
00:15:56.000 They control our government.
00:15:57.000 They control our civil service.
00:15:59.000 It's because Democrats are incapable of taking responsibility for their actions, taking responsibility for their policies. 0.72
00:16:07.000 Just today, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who's a total disaster, terrible mayor, blames Trump for standoff between city public schools and teacher unions.
00:16:17.000 You heard me.
00:16:17.000 That's right.
00:16:18.000 The mayor of Chicago is blaming the guy who's having lunch at Mar-a-Lago right now for the reason why the city, public schools, and teacher unions can't come to a deal.
00:16:28.000 She said in her quote, and I want to quote her correctly: all of this was exacerbated by the incompetence of the previous administration.
00:16:40.000 It didn't leave us with enough vaccine to quickly get to the entire population in our city that needs it.
00:16:45.000 So it's all Trump's fault.
00:16:48.000 Democrats want nothing to do with responsibility.
00:16:55.000 Democrats would prefer to do these political games endlessly while the great theft continues.
00:17:05.000 The Democrats strategy is now going to be the perpetual party of the lesser of two evils.
00:17:16.000 Very wise Democrats, I don't say that lightly, very wise Democrats realize how unpopular their political positions actually are.
00:17:26.000 They understand that they're going to need more than just two years of unified government to pass the Green New Deal, add new states, eliminate the Electoral College, put the Constitution through a shredder.
00:17:38.000 They're going to need to do this in incremental steps.
00:17:42.000 Democrats know that the American people are actually a center-right people, that we are a center-right country.
00:17:50.000 You wake up every day, you go to work, you pay your taxes, you care about your kids' school, you have responsibility, you pay your mortgage, you're a center-right person, some varying degree.
00:18:02.000 You believe in freedom of speech, you believe you should be able to protect yourself, you want a functioning society, you're center-right.
00:18:09.000 Democrats know this.
00:18:10.000 In fact, the wise Democrats do.
00:18:11.000 AOC thinks the entire country is like Brooklyn.
00:18:15.000 AOC thinks the entire country is like the 45 blocks that she represents, where there is a completely different view of the world.
00:18:29.000 AOC thinks that West Texas should have the exact same type of public policy when it comes to energy and it comes to values as Malibu and Brooklyn.
00:18:42.000 The Democrats, the wise Democrats, are now the ones that are pushing forward this lesser of two evils political strategy.
00:18:52.000 Democrats know that they're not going to be able to excite suburban voters to go vote for higher taxes, decreased individual freedom and liberty, closed schools, mounting debt, and inflation.
00:19:02.000 But they can stay in perpetual political power if they other the other side.
00:19:10.000 If they convince people that Republicans are so awful, they're terrorists, then people will give them power because at least they're not the terrorists.
00:19:21.000 At least they're not Marjorie Taylor Greene, because yeah, she's such a big threat to our country. 0.68
00:19:27.000 Why is Congress more concerned about Marjorie Taylor Greene than the fact that the evil republic or whatever the heck they call themselves, and not even a republic, the totalitarian maniacs of Iran are now close to a nuclear weapon according to the Biden administration? 0.92
00:19:42.000 The reason is because the Democrats don't want to govern.
00:19:46.000 You see, Republicans get into politics to actually fix things.
00:19:50.000 They get into politics to occupy things.
00:19:54.000 They get into politics to control political turf.
00:19:57.000 They get into politics to make something of themselves.
00:20:00.000 Many Republicans who run for office had a nice life before they ran.
00:20:04.000 And there's exceptions to this, of course, but this is a general rule.
00:20:08.000 So the Democrats are now employing this strategy of division, this strategy that is rooted in political tension, where their communication to the American people will say, oh, no, I know you got a lot of problems, but no matter what, you better vote for us because you know how bad the other side is. 0.98
00:20:31.000 They're QAnon terrorists. 0.80
00:20:34.000 They're Viking shaman people that are going to come in the middle of the night and steal your family from you. 0.53
00:20:42.000 You see, the Democrats, there's an article at CNN.com.
00:20:48.000 Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney, whoever he is, told his colleagues that Democrats plan to stay, quote, relentlessly on offense, end quote, against Republicans, according to a person familiar who is on the call.
00:21:03.000 And then the title of this article at CNN.com is House Democrats plan to mount offensive to tie Republicans to QAnon.
00:21:11.000 Now, let me just tell you, most Republican voters have no idea what the heck QAnon is.
00:21:18.000 I just call it the message boards.
00:21:20.000 And I have been relentless in my criticism against the lies and the deception and the treachery and the danger of the message boards.
00:21:28.000 Stop reading them.
00:21:30.000 They've lied to you for too long.
00:21:34.000 They're vowing a new round of attacks against Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in Colorado.
00:21:39.000 Now, mind you, no attacks against China or Iran, but the real problem is the five-foot Congresswoman from the mountains of Colorado who ran for Congress because her restaurant was closed. 1.00
00:21:49.000 That's the real threat to national security. 0.91
00:21:52.000 Iran having a nuclear weapon, that's perfectly fine. 0.74
00:21:55.000 China building islands in the South China Sea for world domination and some sort of a proxy fight that's happening in Myanmar, that's not a concern. 0.54
00:22:05.000 The fact that our schools are closed, suicides are up, drug usage and alcoholism has increased.
00:22:09.000 No, no, no.
00:22:10.000 The real threat, according to Congressman Patrick, Sean Patrick Maloney, is not to say relentlessly on offense against China, against illegal immigration, against child sex traffickers, against gun smugglers, against Putin locking up political dissidents, against the lockdowns, the economic catastrophe.
00:22:28.000 No, no, no. 0.99
00:22:29.000 The real problem is the five-foot congresswoman from Aspen. 1.00
00:22:33.000 She's the problem. 0.99
00:22:36.000 Why are Democrats doing this? 1.00
00:22:38.000 Because they can't govern. 0.99
00:22:39.000 They don't want to.
00:22:40.000 They're disinterested.
00:22:41.000 They don't actually care about the well-being of the country.
00:22:43.000 And I don't say that lightly.
00:22:44.000 They know this is their only political strategy moving forward.
00:22:48.000 They know history. 0.79
00:22:49.000 They're not dumb. 0.97
00:22:51.000 AOC and Rashida Taliban, Ayanna Presley, they're the ones that do not understand history. 0.99
00:22:56.000 They don't.
00:22:57.000 The technocratic, peacetime kleptocrat Democrats, like Ron Klain, who's the chief of staff for Biden, who's a very smart guy.
00:23:04.000 He's cunning.
00:23:06.000 He's sharp.
00:23:07.000 He's smart.
00:23:08.000 Do not underestimate that guy.
00:23:10.000 He knows what he's doing.
00:23:14.000 They understand that the midterm after a party takes over the three branches of government is typically a bloodbath, metaphorical bloodbath.
00:23:24.000 That the House of Representatives is poised to now swing 30 to 40 seats.
00:23:28.000 That is what history tells us in Republicans' direction.
00:23:31.000 The Senate, despite the map being difficult for Democrats, Republicans are likely to take back the Senate.
00:23:39.000 So the Democrats' political strategy is one that might work if we do not get out in front of it.
00:23:44.000 The Democrats' political strategy is one that actually might be popular if we do not explain it early.
00:23:50.000 And that is, everything you've been told about China and Iran is actually not true. 0.99
00:23:57.000 The real threat are these QAnon Congress people that are popping up to take over your country and steal your children in the middle of the night. 1.00
00:24:06.000 It's lies, and you know it. 0.99
00:24:08.000 And the problem is they have a multi-trillion dollar communication arm, the mainstream media, to communicate this to the rest of the country.
00:24:17.000 And so their pathological obsession of going after Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert or Andy Biggs or Paul Gosar, the crazy thing is that Democrats don't actually want Marjorie Taylor Greene gone from Congress.
00:24:33.000 They don't.
00:24:34.000 They say they do.
00:24:35.000 Some of them actually probably mean it.
00:24:37.000 But the smart Democrats, the Ron Klain Democrats, they actually have a Marjorie Taylor Greene screensaver on their computer.
00:24:46.000 They have her picture posted.
00:24:49.000 Because every time they see that picture, they know they now have a talking point.
00:24:55.000 They now have someone on the other side that they can point to and say, see, that's why we need power.
00:25:04.000 That's why we need to get reelected.
00:25:07.000 And that's exactly why this disinformation and misinformation campaign that has been launched against conservatives must be stopped and stopped quickly.
00:25:18.000 That's why what Ron DeSantis is doing with big tech is so important because we can't even get that message out without coming under extraordinary censorship.
00:25:31.000 We're in a set of circumstances right now where the Democrats' only pathway to saying popular is by demonizing and smearing the other side.
00:25:42.000 Their strategy is: we're not them.
00:25:44.000 That's it.
00:25:46.000 And by the way, Republicans have employed this strategy before, too.
00:25:50.000 It didn't work very well for us.
00:25:52.000 We did the anti-Obama thing for one cycle.
00:25:54.000 Romney tried it, lost miserably.
00:25:58.000 Running against something can be very popular.
00:26:00.000 Political cycles are always different.
00:26:02.000 Every cycle is a different thing at every time.
00:26:04.000 Depends who's running, depends on the issues.
00:26:06.000 There's the laws of politics, some of which never change, some do, based on the times.
00:26:14.000 But the most successful political movements in our country are never in opposition.
00:26:18.000 They're for something new.
00:26:20.000 Barack Obama and Donald Trump were the two most successful political movements of my life, and both of them in 2008 and 2016 ran a campaign that got people to believe in something outside of the political rules and orthodoxy that were currently in place.
00:26:39.000 In the struggle that we're in right now, if we allow this relentless slander to continue against conservatives and Republicans, then Democrats are going to hold on to power for a very long time.
00:26:52.000 The Chinese coronavirus lockdown taught us that people do not want to be free.
00:26:57.000 They want to be taken care of.
00:26:59.000 The Chinese coronavirus lockdown taught us how scared people can get.
00:27:08.000 I don't know how long they'll keep the lockdowns going.
00:27:10.000 I don't know how long the virus will go.
00:27:11.000 My guess is quite a long time.
00:27:13.000 But now the Democrats are introducing another piece of fear.
00:27:18.000 That not only do you have to worry about your nine-year-old kid getting the virus and dying, which is not true and it's not scientifically based, the chances of that happening are so low.
00:27:28.000 Not only do you have to worry about this invisible enemy that could sneak up to you at any time, but now you have to worry about a domestic enemy.
00:27:38.000 Scared people are easier to control.
00:27:42.000 People that are constantly in a state of fear are willing to give up their freedoms and liberties towards safetyism.
00:27:52.000 When you are under the belief that there is a militia uprising in Congress ready to come after you, then what freedoms wouldn't you give up?
00:28:11.000 What liberty wouldn't you sacrifice when you are afraid you are easier to command?
00:28:19.000 Democrats know this.
00:28:21.000 This entire circus right now of impeachment and expulsion and all of that is not about making people's lives better.
00:28:28.000 They tried that with Obamacare and they got blamed for everything and they lost seats.
00:28:33.000 When they actually implement their agenda, they lose everything.
00:28:36.000 Instead, their new strategy is we're going to build our majority so big over time by demagoguing the other side, by saying that they're literal terrorists, and then we'll be able to push forth our radical agenda.
00:28:47.000 Let's go to cut 51, where Joe Manchin is saying, I will not support a party-line vote to pass the Chinese coronavirus bill through reconciliation.
00:28:57.000 Cut 51.
00:28:59.000 So if they say we're pushing forward with reconciliation, which means not 60, 51 votes, and they come to you and say, Joe, we need that vote, and it's 1.9 trillion.
00:29:10.000 Are you voting for it?
00:29:12.000 What, Brett, what I have told everybody, I made it very clear from the President of the United States to all of my colleagues, we're going to make this work in a bipartisan way.
00:29:21.000 My friends on the other side are going to have input, and we're going to do something that we agree on.
00:29:26.000 I'm not going to do it just down the lines of just saying party line vote.
00:29:30.000 It has to make sense.
00:29:32.000 Joe Manchin is now the most powerful senator in America.
00:29:37.000 He's saying the right thing, and he deserves credit for that.
00:29:41.000 Let's go to Cut 44, where Brett Baer asks him, are you the most powerful man in the Senate?
00:29:46.000 Cut 44.
00:29:47.000 I have 10 seconds here, Senator.
00:29:48.000 Are you the most powerful person in Washington?
00:29:51.000 Let me tell you something.
00:29:52.000 I've seen people who thought they had power and abused it.
00:29:56.000 I've seen people that desired power and abused it.
00:30:00.000 And I've seen people that had an opportunity to be in a situation where he can make a difference.
00:30:03.000 And I hope I'm that person to make a difference.
00:30:06.000 So Joe Manchin is a different type of Democrat than the peacetime kleptocrats of Ron Klain and this guy, Sean Patrick Maloney or Patrick Sean Maloney, whatever his name is.
00:30:17.000 Because Joe Manchin actually is interested in governing.
00:30:19.000 Now, he's a Democrat.
00:30:20.000 I disagree with him on basically everything.
00:30:23.000 But his idea of governing is, well, you know, there's 50-50 in the U.S. Senate.
00:30:26.000 It's not a massive majority.
00:30:29.000 So we're going to give voice to the Republicans.
00:30:32.000 We're going to try to do this in a bipartisan fashion. 0.51
00:30:34.000 Now, because of that, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Cinema are under massive backlash from the AOC types who have never missed an opportunity to try to blame somebody else to try to create a political revolution that will destroy the country.
00:30:47.000 AOC has a new pack, or her staffers have a new pack.
00:30:51.000 I want to be specific about this.
00:30:54.000 Called It Can't Wait or something like No Excuses PAC.
00:30:58.000 The New York Times has come out with a hit piece on Kirsten Cinema, why Arizona senators may collide with Democrats who elected them. 0.90
00:31:05.000 Kirsten Cinema is very smart, and she'll have plenty of Democrats that still support her when she goes back to Arizona. 0.52
00:31:11.000 And unfortunately for Arizona Republicans, and there'll be plenty of Arizona Republicans that support Kirsten Cinema as well. 0.58
00:31:19.000 She's one of the few people that's keeping this entire republic together.
00:31:22.000 I hope you understand that.
00:31:24.000 That Democrat Kirsten Cinema and Democrat Joe Manchin, albeit wrong on immigration, they're wrong on abortion.
00:31:30.000 They're wrong on so much stuff.
00:31:32.000 They're Democrats after all.
00:31:34.000 But they're right on process.
00:31:35.000 They're right on the filibuster.
00:31:37.000 And they are ensuring that this republic does not get hijacked by an angry Democrat mob in just one election cycle.
00:31:44.000 It is not the way the process has ever been meant to work.
00:31:47.000 They deserve great credit for that.
00:31:51.000 There's a new Republic article, which is a liberal website, that says Joe Manchin is the king of the Senate.
00:31:55.000 The Democrat senator has survived in West Virginia by casting himself as a champion of working people.
00:32:00.000 Will his fixation on bipartisanship prevent him from living up to the role?
00:32:03.000 Joe Manchin doesn't care.
00:32:05.000 Joe Manchin is the most powerful man in Washington, and Kirsten Cinema has just made herself more powerful. 0.97
00:32:11.000 Now, I think Kirsten Cinema wants to be a senator for a very, very long time of Arizona. 0.99
00:32:16.000 I think Kirsten Cinema, if the winds of the political trends told her to be more liberal, she would do that.
00:32:22.000 I think Kirsten Cinema will become more liberal if Arizona becomes more liberal.
00:32:26.000 I think that Kirsten Cinema is not a dummy, though.
00:32:29.000 Kirsten Cinema's staffer is probably showing her that in Maricopa County, new voter registrations show that there are 30% more people registering as Republicans than Democrats in the county of Maricopa County, which is the largest county in Arizona.
00:32:42.000 She knows that in order for her to win reelection, she has to win as a center-left or center candidate.
00:32:49.000 The No Excuses PAC by the AOC staffers seek to replace West Virginia, Joe Manchin, and Arizona Kirsten Cinema.
00:32:55.000 Good luck with Joe Manchin.
00:32:56.000 You think you're going to run to the left of Joe Manchin in the state of West Virginia, the state that Donald Trump won with 67 to 70 percent of the vote in West Virginia?
00:33:05.000 Not going to happen.
00:33:06.000 And Kirsten Cinema is representing a politically diverse state that is still a center-right state where they have a Republican governor that won by 20 points last time.
00:33:15.000 Radical Democrats are doing everything they possibly can to try to take out these two more moderate Democrats.
00:33:22.000 And obviously, I disagree with them, as I said, on so much.
00:33:25.000 I could go through the list of it.
00:33:27.000 But right now, they're flexing their muscles, and they're slowing down the process.
00:33:33.000 Democrats know this, which is why they're posturing to try to create Republicans as a domestic terror threat, which has long-reaching ramifications.
