00:00:00.000Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we recap a crazy week.
00:00:03.000We talk about the administrative state, otherwise known as the shadow government.
00:00:07.000I think one of the silver linings of the occupation and raid at Mar-a-Lago is people are waking up that there is a shadow government in our country where punishment is arbitrary and we are ruled by a council of experts.
00:00:44.000And also, Tyler makes an error where he says that if you vote in ranked choice voting, it doesn't count.
00:00:53.000It's very confusing, but I just wanted to clarify for all of you.
00:00:56.000Meaning, if you only vote for one person, it doesn't count all the way through.
00:00:59.000According to Alaska law, that will count, but you won't be counted in the second or third if your candidate doesn't proceed.
00:01:05.000If your head is spinning and you're confused, you need to listen to the whole episode because Tyler gives a phenomenally important warning about ranked choice voting and how it could destroy the MAGA movement.

00:02:16.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:02:24.000What do Anthony Fauci and Merrick Garland have in common?
00:02:28.000I know they're both craven old men that are using their twilight years to terrorize a majority of the country, and they're both approximately five feet tall with no Napoleon syndrome, by the way, trying to tell us how to live our lives and using their power for evil.
00:02:49.000But they're also creatures of the administrative state.
00:02:53.000Now, as we talk about on this program, the Constitution authorizes three types of power.
00:03:11.000If you go all the way back to 1887, Congress created the Interstate Commerce Commission.
00:03:19.000It was expanded decades later, but it was almost this fourth branch of government, the birth of the fourth branch of government.
00:03:24.000And it was no coincidence that happened in the late 1800s.
00:03:27.000This was where the focus on scientism was born.
00:03:31.000Industrial Revolution, people start to think they could perfect man.
00:03:34.000We need the council of experts, the administrators that know best.
00:03:38.000We have allowed over the last hundred years the administrative state, also called the deep state or the shadow government, to do whatever they want to do with very little check or balance or transparency being demanded.
00:03:55.000Now, we beat this drum relentlessly with the serpent, the criminal, Anthony Fauci, with what he did against humanity, unaccountable, unknown, unelected, fourth branch of government bureaucrats.
00:04:08.000But Merrick Garland is exactly the same.
00:04:12.000We're going to play some pieces of tape here from Merrick Garland's press conference yesterday.
00:04:17.000But don't be too focused on Merrick Garland, the person, because Merrick Garland is an interchangeable part.
00:04:24.000Merrick Garland is a small widget that could be easily replaced, as easy as going to Home Depot and getting a washer that you might be missing or a nail for your deck.
00:04:36.000Merrick Garland is not valued by the machine.
00:04:41.000He's a temporary, interchangeable part that thinks he's going to be remembered.
00:04:45.000In reality, he will be enveloped very soon by the very machine that he has always worshipped his entire life, the state, the Leviathan, the albatross.
00:04:54.000So as we talk about Merrick Garland, we shouldn't talk about Merrick Garland, the person, or Anthony Fauci, the person.
00:06:28.000You see, the totalitarian machine is historically the norm.
00:06:34.000The United States has been so incredibly, some would say lucky, some would be thankful, to be immune to this sort of administrative state tyranny.
00:06:46.000Now, the administrative state, shadow government is what we call it, deep state, has been so, let's just say, unknown to most Americans for many years.
00:07:14.000Attorney General Merrick Garland says he personally approved the decision for the Justice Department to seek a warrant of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
00:07:20.000I'm going to tell you why he worded it this way, in my opinion.
00:07:25.000First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter.
00:07:32.000Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly.
00:07:36.000Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.
00:07:47.000When have you ever seen a bureaucrat take personal responsibility?
00:08:01.000He's not a Supreme Court justice and Merrick Garland is happy to almost own it.
00:08:06.000Number two, I don't think Merrick Garland lasts much longer.
00:08:09.000You see, if Merrick Garland went in front of there and he said, if he instead said this was done through the Department of Justice in unanimous agreement, well, then a resignation of Merrick Garland actually wouldn't solve the problem.
00:08:21.000You see, the more Merrick Garland takes personal responsibility, the more the situation gets diffused when Merrick Garland resigns and Republicans take over Congress.
00:08:30.000For example, let's say Merrick Garland resigns by Christmas, of which is my prediction.
00:08:34.000Merrick Garland probably won't make it to the Republican Congress.
00:08:50.000And instead, if Merrick Garland said this was the institution, then all of a sudden that oversight, the commission that should be coming, the Church and Pike Committee equivalent, would have something to latch onto.
00:09:01.000Garland is trying to say it's all me because a scapegoat is necessary for the backlash and how poorly this is being received by the American people.
00:09:17.000I do believe, though, that Merrick Garland was informed.
00:09:20.000I think it's more likely that Joe Biden, well, not Joe Biden, or maybe Kamala Harris or some other deep state thug, shadow government cartel member of our system, approved it.
00:09:43.000They're going to get some younger, more charismatic, more radical attorney general sometime soon.
00:09:49.000No, Merrick Garland is sticking his neck out for the sole purpose to try to blunt the backlash when Republicans take back Congress, when they do their oversight.
00:10:01.000The next person who has to get sworn in will say, well, Merrick Garland is no longer Attorney General.
00:10:18.000Instead, the media will praise Garland for his courage and his tenacity, despite the overreach, the invasion, the occupation of a political dissident and soon-to-be political opponent.
00:10:31.000And they're already in full freak out and spin mode.
00:10:35.000Some could possibly say that the media is going nuclear over all of this.
00:10:42.000But remember, the administrative state is outside the structure of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay of the Federalist Papers.
00:10:49.000It's outside the structure and the promise of the United States Constitution.
00:10:54.000It's outside what the Constitution guaranteed to protect our God-given liberties and freedoms.
00:11:00.000The shadow government, the administrative state, has existed for so long.
00:11:04.000And in constitutional legal circles, we've talked about it before, and we need checks and balances and consent to the governed.
00:11:10.000What that raid did, if we explain it properly, showed in no uncertain terms who actually currently runs the country, jack-booted thugs that are able to come into Mar-a-Lago and invade a sacred political site for cocktail napkins.

00:12:28.000One of the things that frustrates me most is when people run as grassroots conservatives and then they legislate and govern as moderates.
00:12:37.000I have some major philosophical and political differences with Senator Collins from Maine.
00:12:42.000I will say though, Senator Collins, Senator Susan Collins, she never runs as a grassroots conservative.
00:12:48.000You know what you're getting when you vote for Senator Collins.
00:12:54.000But one of my concerns, though, and I think a lot of you agree, is that you have Senator Lindsey Graham who pretends he's super conservative and does the opposite.
00:13:03.000I want more people to just be very clear with their voters about what they believe and why they believe it.
00:14:50.000She's not going to use the language that we would like, but it does show that even the Republican establishment is starting to stand up in this particular regard.
00:14:59.000Going back to yesterday, Merrick Garland continued, where he says, I will not stand by silently when the integrity of the FBI is unfairly attacked.
00:15:09.000We're supposed to trust the FBI after the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping scandal.
00:15:13.000Who planted the pipe bombs on January 5th, by the way, at the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee?
00:15:19.000How about the dirty dossier with Bruce Senellior and Peter Struckstroke Smirk and Lisa Page?
00:15:25.000Were those people ever held accountable?
00:15:27.000You're not going to sit, stand silently by Merrick Garland while the FBI raided James O'Keefe's apartment illegally, Rudy Giuliani's apartment and broke lawyer client privilege.
00:15:40.000How about when the Federal Bureau of Investigation went after John Eastman and took his cell phone, Scott Perry and took his cell phone, Peter Navarro and put him in leg irons, a public humiliation.
00:15:53.000We're not supposed to talk about any of that.
00:15:57.000I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.
00:16:03.000The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants.
00:16:11.000Every day, they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism, and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights.
00:16:21.000Garland continued by praising the FBI and the rule of law as the bedrock of the justice system and democracy.
00:17:12.000They violate the Constitution on a daily, hourly basis.
00:17:17.000And he did not even begin to explain why 30 FBI agents after prior cooperation was happening needed to go desecrate a sacred political site, one of which millions of Americans consider to be the Southern Winter White House or the Winter White House.
00:17:37.000Why is all of a sudden that going to happen by the FBI?
00:17:40.000The administrative state has been revealed for who they are.
00:17:46.000Look, we talk about current events a lot on this show, but there's other things that are in life that are bigger than current events, bigger things.
00:17:51.000We try to do some shows every so often on these things.
00:17:54.000But look, what am I talking about when I say that?
00:17:58.000Right and wrong, prayer and the Bible or heaven and hell.
00:18:01.000So look, the great C.S. Lewis, who's one of the most amazing minds ever to exist, who's a master at addressing these questions.
00:18:10.000And that is why Hillsdale College, the great college, the only college, in my opinion, wants you to learn more about him and his writings and their newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.
00:18:22.000And it all starts with taking a short quiz to find out how much you already know about Lewis.
00:18:27.000He wrote more than the Narnia series, by the way.
00:20:34.000You're not going to want to miss this.
00:20:35.000It really, it's akin to the Trump rally that we hosted in 2015, I think, which is a big turning point in Arizona history where we're actually taking back conservative ground and building the wall, not just along the southern border, but along the California border and saying we're going to stop the insane California policies from coming into Arizona.
00:21:20.000And so she actually, a poll just came out that showed her plus 11 with Hispanics, which is really indicative of what's happening across the country.
00:21:44.000It was actually done by a Democratic-leaning firm.
00:21:46.000So, yeah, they're sweating bullets over there.
00:21:50.000And Katie Hobbs, you know, was a twice convicted racist and had issues with firing a black employee after complaining that she was being intimidated and kind of pushed out in the workplace.
00:22:05.000And so, you know, Katie Hobbes isn't doing good with the Hispanic population in Arizona and with the black population.
00:22:11.000And so, you know, it's looking really, really grim for Democrats in Arizona.
00:23:26.000Every single person within the sound of my voice needs to understand that the future of the Republican Party and the Republic depend on you fighting ranked choice voting.
00:23:36.000So, what ranked choice voting is, is a system that they've instituted, oddly enough, in states that have very moderate senators.
00:23:45.000And the reason for that, I think, is because the ranked choice voting system basically enables only moderates to ever get elected.
00:23:55.000Basically, how it works, and proponents of ranked choice voting will lie to you.
00:23:58.000They will tell you all sorts of different reasons why it's awesome, including saving money and eliminating primaries and eliminating extra runoff elections and all of that.
00:24:06.000The reality is, is that their goal is they want to eliminate the party primaries and they want to bump out conservatives.
00:24:14.000And here's the reason why how ranked choice voting works is on a ballot, essentially what happens is you rank each of the candidates one, two, three, four.
00:24:24.000So let's say there's in like Alaska, you have a conservative, a moderate establishment, rhino Republican, and a Democrat.
00:24:32.000You have to rank all of them one, two, three, right?
00:24:34.000So if you're in a state even with a minority Democrats, the Democrats then will always rank the moderate Republican second after their Democrat choice.
00:24:44.000And the conservatives will rank the moderate Republicans second.
00:24:48.000And then so if you don't break the 50% threshold, and I'm oversimplifying it, but you don't break the over, then basically your automatic vote goes to that second place person.
00:24:57.000So almost always the second place person will win and the moderate will win no matter even if you're in a state that's 45% conservative.
00:25:07.000So the proponents of ranked choice voting will say that it de-radicalizes our politics, that it helps us get more consensus.
00:25:15.000That's where they're going to trend to.
00:25:17.000The first place they start is that they're saving money because they're not having to cost the state in runoffs.
00:25:23.000Even some of the, in a lot of states, so in Utah, they've implemented ranked choice.
00:25:27.000Utah, be aware, be on high alert and alarm.
00:25:31.000They're preparing this for the Mitt Romney election.
00:25:33.000Just so you know, this is the exact same thing with Murkowski, is that they'll say, let's just implement this just for primaries and it won't affect the general.
00:25:43.000And then, but all of a sudden, you've let the camel's nose in the tent and all of a sudden you're going to wake up with a camel inside your tent and you're going to have ranked choice voting all the way down.
00:26:28.000They said, can you just rank one top choice and then stop?
00:26:31.000And then in most places in the investigation that I've seen is that the answer to that question is no, which in my opinion is also it's anti-democratic.
00:27:13.000These systems that they're trying to institute is they're trying to almost gaslight the American population by saying, no, you elected this person when nobody ever wanted to vote for Murkowski.
00:27:23.000So Project Veritas Action, led by James O'Keefe, came out with a series of videos that show that Lisa Murkowski was the supporter and the pusher for this because she was worried that in an actual election, she would lose.
00:27:36.000But in this weird game where you rank them now, this is different than jungle primaries, right?
00:27:44.000And here's the reason why it's the same: because jungle primaries are top two primaries, which mean that ultimately you don't have a choice or I say in a party, a party affiliated election.
00:27:56.000That the same end goal is here with ranked choice voting.
00:27:59.000Is they essentially the whole goal of this, guys, they want to eliminate party elections.
00:28:05.000And don't get me wrong, party primaries.
00:29:03.000They want to have just one election where it's no, but in Alaska, are they is this the primary?
00:29:08.000Yeah, so in Alaska with this, this is the primary.
00:29:12.000So there's different, there's different formulations for this.
00:29:15.000So again, it's the camel into the tent concept.
00:29:18.000What they want to get to is where there's only one overall overarching election.
00:29:23.000So right now they're doing this with the primary, right?
00:29:27.000Then they move on to the actual election and they say, you know what, we don't need a party primary anymore because we can just do ranked choice voting for one election in the general two.
00:30:01.000Your grassroots conservatives that you love, this is a way to disenfranchise them because the Democrats would be mobilized and all of these Chamber of Commerce Uni Party people would benefit from this.
00:30:29.000They can run more Republicans in a district, split the vote for Republicans, and then all of a sudden you get top two Democrats.
00:30:36.000And that's the same thing with ranked choice voting.
00:30:39.000They can actually organize this and they're much more organized to say, hey, we're going to keep out all our, we're going to solidify into one candidate and then we can win every single election.
00:31:06.000And this is all behind closed doors too on electronics, which is everything we're fighting right now, which is like, hey, there's no paper trail, right?
00:31:15.000It's an algorithm that gives preference to the second place candidate.
00:31:18.000I'm telling you guys, this is how you end up with a Venezuela situation.
00:31:20.000This is how you end up with a Soviet Union situation, single party, you know, behind closed doors.
00:31:25.000But ranked choice voting is going to come to a state near you to disenfranchise grassroots conservatives and try to destroy the voice of the grassroots.
00:32:04.000Who counts the votes, how they're counted, what's the tabulation?
00:32:07.000So Project Veritas Action by James O'Keefe does an amazing job.
00:32:11.000Play cut 100 shows that Lisa Murkowski's team is bragging that they were the ones that wanted ranked choice voting because it benefits them.
00:32:21.000They say the race is going to come down to Kelly Chewbacca and Senator Murkowski.
00:32:26.000So anyone who votes for Pat Chesborough first and ranks Senator Murkowski second, that vote is going to become a vote for Senator Murkowski.
00:32:34.000So ballot measure two is her key to winning.
00:32:38.000While we work on ballot measure two and voting for ballot measure two, we have Senator Murkowski in mind the whole time.
00:32:44.000Every single Pat Chesborough voter who ranks Senator Murkowski second, you get the votes.
00:32:51.000So could we get the title of who that was?
00:32:52.000I think that's a Murkowski staffer, if I'm not mistaken, on Hidden Camera bragging that because of ranked choice voting, the moderate Lisa Murkowski will survive despite Teshbaka getting more votes.
00:33:05.000Yeah, because they know, again, and again, this is a uniparty Democrat establishment Republican employee who these people hate you.
00:33:13.000I mean, I just want everyone here to know these people hate you.
00:33:15.000And here's how I know they hate you, because we actually have a consultant here in Arizona who hates Republicans, who actually had a back memo leaked where they're talking about all the benefits of how to basically destroy conservatives.
00:34:14.000I mean, if you leave it clear, because what happens if you have 45% of people want the first one, but then the next tabulation, 41% of people want the second one?
00:35:23.000They say, couldn't you vote for the same person over three times?
00:35:27.000No, like they just mentioned on this video, as soon as your candidate doesn't make that first threshold and gets dropped off the bottom, basically your vote no longer counts.
00:35:35.000And so that's the other threshold in the next round.
00:35:38.000So that was the conversation we had before.
00:35:40.000Well, even if they allow you just to vote for one, well, if yours drops off, basically you're not even voting in what would be a runoff or a general election.
00:35:49.000And so I'm telling you guys, this is one of the most anti-democratic measures ever passed.
00:35:54.000Now, the way to do it, if you're in Alaska, this is the only way to game the system and you got to get the word out.
00:36:00.000If the algorithms are trusted, you have to rank Murkowski last.
00:36:39.000Guys, in Utah, they were trying to take out Mike Lee with this process.
00:36:43.000They're going to get more aggressive with it so they can get Mitt Romney through next election because they know they're screwed with him in Utah.
