00:00:46.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:53.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:35.000Well, listen, to your point about the fight for liberty and freedom, we have to be doing it.
00:01:40.000As you know, and as we've spoken about, we got to help promote these platforms, whether it's Real America's Voice, whether it's just those willing to take on that establishment.
00:01:50.000You know, I was early on Rumble doing the short form stuff that I do, just fighting the good fight.
00:01:55.000And as they're expanding the platform, creating the interactive components, all these things, they said, hey, would you do something a little bit more extensive?
00:02:05.000I got to sort of put my time where my mouth is and encourage these other platforms that are taking on sort of the tyranny of big tech and all the other things that are out there.
00:02:49.000But the point is that they are now a functioning real company that is really on a trajectory to be able to create that kind of parallel competitor.
00:02:58.000So Don, I want to ask you about the breaking news today.
00:03:00.000They raid Mar-a-Lago after President Trump was cooperating the federal agencies, showed the federal agents where the documents were, and he declassified them.
00:03:10.000He had the right to do all those things, and they were protected by Secret Service.
00:03:13.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden as vice president of the United States, no declassification authority, was storing documents in his garage in Delaware without secret service protection next to his Corvette.
00:03:27.000Well, Charlie, you know, the garage was locked, so it makes it all okay, right?
00:03:32.000You know, I thought it was bad when they said, so you wait a minute, it's in his think tank, which in and of itself is a little bit interesting given Joe Biden's incapable of actually thinking, but it's in his think tank, which is funded to the tune of $54 million by the Chinese Communist Party, right?
00:04:14.000They use the FBI's hostage rescue team to raid Mar-a-Lago.
00:04:18.000I mean, those guys deal with terrorists.
00:04:20.000They don't serve search warrants for stuff that was under lock and key and guarded by the United States Secret Service.
00:04:28.000But like, did Hunter Biden have access to Joe's home?
00:04:31.000I'm sure he did because we know, and we frankly know that Joe was doing the same thing, but we certainly know that Hunter Biden had dealings with plenty of people that the U.S. government is doing, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's Russia, whether it's China.
00:04:44.000Could all of these people have seen these documents?
00:04:50.000I said that I recorded a short form video earlier where I said what you said in your intro, which is like, I have a feeling DC's gotten what they've needed out of Joe Biden.
00:05:00.000Like, either nothing will happen or they'll use this as their excuse to get rid of him, which, of course, they would love to do.
00:05:07.000But I don't know that anyone else is that much better.
00:05:09.000Maybe they need a fall guy for 24 that they can throw into us so they don't take out one of their glorious bench warmers like Pete Buttigieg, who's doing a phenomenal job as transportation secretary.
00:05:20.000He's incredibly well credentialed, which means it doesn't matter, Charlie, if he's totally incompetent.
00:05:29.000He can call our highway systems racist, obviously, because they weren't designed with enough space for illegal migrants to live under them.
00:05:38.000We must just obey that level of stupidity.
00:05:41.000The FAA can shut down while we give $130 billion to Ukraine.
00:05:46.000I'm sure that could not have been used to update our antiquated systems.
00:05:49.000And while our airplane fleets are grounded, though, Charlie, I want you and your viewers to rest assured that all is well because they are making sure that equity and inclusion are being implemented at the FAA.
00:06:04.000Because when you're at 36,000 feet, you don't really care if the person in charge, whether it's flying the plane or ground control or air traffic control, are competent.
00:06:28.000Unfortunately, our transportation secretary is not, but he did check off a bunch of boxes in the woke categories, which allows you to be a high-level member of Joe Biden and probably any Democrat member of government's cabinet.
00:06:46.000So competence be damned, Charlie Kirk.
00:06:55.000If Pete Buttigieg was boarding a private plane and you said, excuse me, before we take off, just so you know, Pete Buttigieg, the pilots up front, they're black.
00:07:03.000They got no idea what they're doing, but they're black.
00:07:14.000No, I mean, in high-pressure situations, even the most woke person is going to privately demand competency.
00:07:21.000The problem is they're mandating these sort of things on us when they get to live in a life of competency and merit and functioning high society when the rest of us have to have 10,000 flight delays.
00:07:47.000But like, hey, you know, equity and stuff, you know, and that's the whole problem.
00:07:51.000It's not equality of opportunity where then you get to, and you saw that, my alma mater, which is racking up some pretty serious wins in the last year, whether it be being the home of Leah Thomas, the home or funding of the CCP think tank of Joe Biden that just was storing these classified documents or the fact that they wanted to get rid of, I guess, the MCAT for getting into Penn Medical.
00:08:19.000I read an article about that last week because who really wants their doctors to have gone through like enough to decide whether maybe they should be doctors or not.
00:08:28.000I mean, let's just, let's forget the hard parts of medical school and like, let's just get to the nice parts of equity and talk about how wonderful that is.
00:08:36.000I mean, I'm sure the outcomes there will be wonderful.
00:08:40.000You know, and we're joking about it, Charlie, but the reality is this is serious stuff.
00:08:45.000Like our enemies are looking at us and they are laughing because like they couldn't have imagined a better scenario for them, whether that's the Chinese, you know, whether that's the Russians, whether it's literally, you know, any third world country that hates us at this point, they're saying, this is wonderful.
00:09:09.000And, you know, all the brilliant minds in DC and stuff, they're going along with it because presumably they'll still be able to make enough money to take care of themselves and their families.
00:09:20.000So, Don, I want to explore the kind of topic you mentioned briefly, which I think there is more to this story because the double standard, of course, we can explain ad nauseum, which of course they raid Mar-a-Lago.
00:09:38.000And I want to get your hypothesis as to why.
00:09:42.000And also, does it involve the House Republicans having the discipline to go after the agencies, not just the low-hanging fruit of Joe Biden, Joe Biden, which, of course, we care about, but let's be honest, the FBI 20 years from now is going to be around.
00:10:08.000Just stop them from doing the nonsense.
00:10:11.000Honestly, I'm pretty happy so far with what they've done, whether it's going after the 87,000 IRS agents or SWAW.
00:10:17.000Whether it's starting the church committees for people who didn't fully understand that, literally looking at the government abuse of power and where that stems from.
00:10:25.000I mean, frankly, that's much more important.
00:10:28.000And that's the difference that a lot of people don't understand.
00:10:30.000And I think we saw a lot of that in sort of the speaker fight the other day.
00:10:33.000There's sort of what's really happening and what's going on behind the scenes and then what people can fundraise off of and make viral for social media.
00:10:41.000And those two things and the results don't often line up.
00:10:47.000I actually want action and I want them to go after these agencies because if they don't, they're going to get so powerful as you saw last term where they can derail or try to derail a presidency and prevent a lot of stuff from going into place.
00:12:28.000And so I don't want to see, in my personal opinion, Republicans spend all their time just going after Joe Biden when he might not even be president in two years and the intel agencies get off the hook.
00:12:41.000I mean, I think the reality is, though, we got to prioritize that without question.
00:12:45.000And as it relates to future elections, actually, what we have to prioritize is actually figuring out how to play the game the way the Democrats have.
00:12:52.000Right now, as much as I don't want to say this as someone who believes in these concepts, the candidates, the issues, none of that matters if we're not essentially doing the same ballot harvest operation that the Democrats are doing and they figured out they weaponized COVID to make that happen.
00:13:07.000And if we don't also focus on that, you know, to the fullest extent, national elections, in my opinion, are going to be virtually impossible to win.
00:14:00.000But you don't think that's going on at Facebook or Instagram or any, you know, Google or it's happening everywhere.
00:14:06.000And by the way, more importantly, and I think what people aren't discussing is, you know, now that that sort of the cover has been pulled off and we've seen it, like, do you think what's went on at Twitter is any different than what's happening at every newsroom in America?
00:14:20.000You know, this is election interference.
00:14:22.000I remember when this was treasonous and yet it's like it's like it never happened.
00:14:26.000You know, none of these people are talking about it because guess what?
00:14:28.000They were all doing the same thing in the mainstream media and they're not talking about it right now.
00:14:33.000So we need to get all of these guys and not just the guys where we've discovered it, but look into the details and levels of all of this.
00:14:40.000I think these are all major public companies.
00:14:43.000If they're doing these and playing these games, they have a responsibility to their shareholders where they're either not maximizing shareholder potential by banning and crushing large content creators like they've done with us and a lot of our friends and otherwise.
00:14:56.000And I think, you know, we have to put a full court press on these guys or it's just going to keep going, right?
00:15:02.000We have to make their life uncomfortable.
00:15:03.000Frankly, a little blip in the ocean relative to Meta and a lot of these other platforms.
00:15:10.000And I think Google being by far the worst defender of all of it.
00:15:41.000Don, what's the regularity you're doing the show with?
00:15:44.000Yeah, I'm gonna do a couple times a week starting the week at the 23rd.
00:15:48.000Uh, gonna go live uh with a lot of that and you know, little combination.
00:15:52.000What's been great about the platform is, you know, hey, like, let's figure out what works.
00:15:56.000I want to have sort of interaction with the audience, see what they like, whether it's the long-form interview, whether it's the shorter stuff, where it's me ranting, maybe a combination of all of it.
00:16:04.000So, to have that flexibility, see what works.
00:16:07.000I mean, I think you know, that's sort of the future.
00:16:09.000We don't want to be going doing sort of the mainstream media coverage where you have the four talking points and you sit there and beat them into people's heads and you do that for 24/7.
00:16:17.000I mean, we're going to have a lot more fun, a lot more interactive, and you know, get the people involved.
00:16:22.000That's what this movement's always been about.
00:16:47.000I want to tell you guys about COVID tax relief.
00:16:50.000COVID Tax Relief is an amazing service that exists for you because of Washington, D.C.'s addiction to overspending.
00:16:59.000Again, I'm not a fan that this money exists or that's out there or that it's available, but as they say, it is what it is.
00:17:05.000Look, COVIDTaxRelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.
00:17:10.000COVIDTaxRelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.
00:17:14.000COVIDTaxRelief.org got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.
00:17:19.000If you run a business, church or nonprofit, and paid your employees through all or part of the pandemic, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee through the Government Cares Act.
00:17:28.000COVIDTaxRelief.org receives a low commission, very reasonable, only after you receive the money.
00:18:02.000So look, we're looking forward to getting to work for the American people and doing the investigations that need to be done and passing the legislation that needs to be passed.
00:18:09.000So that's what we're going to be focused on.
00:18:11.000So, Congressman, walk us through this weaponization of government committee that is kind of paralleled and mirrored off of the church committee.
00:18:19.000This is an unprecedented development in the last couple of decades to actually be able to have oversight of the fourth branch of government.
00:18:24.000It seems as if it's going to be well staffed at the same level as the January 6th Committee.
00:18:30.000Well, if I could first maybe just step back and say the reason it's needed is never forget what we've seen here in the last couple of years.
00:18:37.000We've seen the Department of Justice target parents, treat them as terrorists for simply going to a school board meeting, speaking up for their son or their daughter.
00:18:44.000We've seen the FBI spend $3.4 million, pay Twitter $3.4 million to censor American citizens.
00:18:53.000And then, of course, we had the Department of Homeland Security set up the Disinformation Governance Board to try to set it up until we found out about it.
00:19:00.000We all raised it, like, this is crazy.
00:19:02.000As if some agency can determine what should be said, what shouldn't be said, what's allowed to be talked about, what's not allowed to be talked about.
00:19:09.000So, this is what we're focused on: this pervasive kind of weaponizing government against your political opponents.
00:19:15.000It goes all the way to the president who stood in front of Independence Hall and said what he did, called half the country fascist.
00:19:20.000And of course, it's driven by now the dozens and dozens of FBI agents who have come to us as whistleblowers and told us about what's going on in the FBI that is political in nature.
00:19:34.000It's going to be nine six, nine Republicans, six Democrats, and we're going to get to work on hopefully exposing everything so because the first step you have to do to stop it is get all the facts on the table so that we can protect Americans' First Amendment liberties.
00:19:47.000The first, what are you going to do or how are you prepared to be able to navigate the labyrinth that these intel agencies are going to have waiting for you?
00:19:55.000The trapdoors, the classified documents, the staff.
00:20:03.000And they're going to, I mean, we know that the Justice Department, we know that, I mean, we've been trying to get information for two years as in the minority.
00:20:11.000Now, when you get the majority, you have the ability to subpoena, but we still know they're going to drag their feet.
00:20:17.000That's just the nature of government today, unfortunately.
00:20:20.000It's tough to get information from the executive branch.
00:20:23.000But again, remember, we have these whistleblowers.
00:20:26.000We're going to work on seeing if they're willing to testify.
00:20:28.000We think many of them are, because frankly, we believe many of them have been retaliated against for coming forward and telling us what's going on.
00:20:36.000So we think they're going to be willing to testify, willing to be deposed.
00:20:41.000And then also, remember, we can get information from folks who've left the government, who worked there.
00:20:46.000There's a great piece out today from this Nicole Parker.
00:20:49.000She said on the Fox News, and she talks about why I left the FBI.
00:20:54.000And she left the FBI because of the very things that we've been talking about.
00:20:57.000So there's someone that I think potentially we can talk to.
00:21:01.000Not to mention the people who were targeted themselves, like parents, the 25 parents we know about who the FBI targeted because a whistleblower came and told us these individuals were the ones who had the threat tag designation, put on their name, the FBI showed up their door and investigated them.
00:21:16.000So that's where we start with this investigation, I believe.
00:21:20.000So, Congressman, a fear I have, and we had Thomas Masty on the other day, and I was really excited about him being part of this.
00:21:27.000I think he's such an ethical and he's a principled person who really cares about civil liberties deeply.
00:21:33.000And but so, one of my fears, though, because he mentioned something, I thought about it overnight, is he mentioned that, and you said there's two Democrats might be on this committee.
00:21:41.000Congressman, what Democrats are going to be on this committee that aren't going to work against your aims and your goals that might actually double-cross you with the intel agencies?
00:21:50.000They might be leaking, they might be secretly telling Christopher Wray kind of what you guys are going after.
00:21:56.000What assurances can you give us that these Democrats won't work in this sabotage agency?
00:22:00.000No, I think they are going to oppose us because they said it even before the resolution passed creating the committee.
00:22:07.000So, Jerry Nandler was quoted in the press as saying this is all political.
00:22:10.000We're going to fight this tooth and nail.
00:22:44.000Ultimately, that's what this committee is about.
00:22:46.000It's about protecting Americans' First Amendment liberties, protecting Americans' rights, protecting due process, and not having the double standard that we see, frankly, playing out in front of us as we're talking with these classified documents and how President Trump was tweeted, treated, versus how Secretary Clinton was treated and how Joe Biden's been treated.
00:23:08.000Another fear that I have and a concern, and Congressman, you can push back as aggressively as you want, is that House Republicans are going to probably emphasize the Biden crime family too much when you and I both know that, unfortunately, the power is really deeper.
00:23:23.000So, how are you going to strike that balance?
00:23:25.000Because my fear is that it becomes too much about Biden, who, if we're honest with ourselves, 25 years from now, I don't mean to be morbid, I don't know if Joe Biden's still going to be a player in American politics, but the shadow government probably will.
00:23:37.000So, how are you guys going to balance that?
00:23:42.000Mr. Comer, Jamie Comer, who will be chair of the oversight committee, is going to focus in on the Biden issue and the Biden family business operation.
00:23:52.000We in the over, or excuse me, in the judiciary committee, our only touch on that will be how the Department of Justice has handled certain things relative to the Biden family.
00:24:03.000We are more focused on just this double standard, this treatment of people with a different political persuasion, the way that they're treated differently.
00:24:14.000So, there's a statute that directly on point, 18 USC 1507, where it says, if you're protesting, trying to intimidate and influence the Supreme Court justice, you're not allowed to do that.
00:24:25.000No one, to my knowledge, has been prosecuted after what we saw at all this conservative justices' homes this past summer after the draft opinion was leaked.
00:24:37.000With an assassination temple and justice.
00:24:38.000Then you have Mark Hauck, who has his door kicked in, is arrested, handcuffed in front of his wife and seven kids for praying in front of an abortion clinic outside of Philadelphia.
00:24:50.000And local police said he did nothing wrong.
00:24:52.000But the FBI comes in and does that, but yet hasn't prosecuted anyone, or not to mention the hundreds, hundreds, over 100 churches and crisis pregnancy centers that have been attacked since the Dobbs leak.
00:25:04.000To my knowledge, no one's been prosecuted there either.
00:25:06.000So this double standard, I think, is really important that we highlight.
00:25:10.000And highlighting, I think, helps us, again, get to the facts and present this information to the American people.
00:25:16.000This excites me because the machinery of the fourth branch of government, they go untouched.
00:25:23.000And you and I both know that they have an arrogance and they have a hoobris.
00:25:26.000I mean, look, Christopher Wray stops a Senate hearing.
00:25:29.000He's like, sorry, I got to go take the taxpayer-funded Gulf State up to the Adirondacks.
00:25:33.000And to be able to cross-examine them, to really get into the weeds.
00:25:37.000Now, Congressman, I think that there will be an interesting thing that you guys might discover, which is I believe that the regime of the intel agencies and these domestic government groups, I think they've been going after people on the progressive left as well.
00:25:55.000I think you might uncover that it's not just conservatives and moms and conservative moms and homeschool groups and Christians.
00:26:03.000I think what we call the radical left, the Bernie Sanders types, the Pramila Jayapoles, I think you might uncover some evidence that the AOC types might have also had some of their domestic political aims and ambitions interfered with.
00:26:16.000And in fact, I encourage you guys to try to uncover that because that might actually be able to create a consensus and a coalition to fix this.
00:26:32.000And remember, when the initial, when this was done in the 70s, this kind of investigative work, it was largely because the government was targeting more people on the left of our political spectrum.
00:26:44.000The fundamental thing here is so many of these people who are doing this never put their name on the ballot.
00:26:50.000Many of them never even had Senate confirmation.
00:26:53.000So that's not how our country is supposed to.
00:26:55.000It's supposed to be the people whose names are on the ballot, who get elected to Congress, who make the laws.
00:27:00.000Those people are directly accountable to we, the people, to the country, to the citizens, but not unelected bureaucrats who think they run the country, who treat the American citizens the way they have, and have such a disregard for the First Amendment.
00:27:13.000So, Congressman, I know you're tight on time, and thank you for joining us.
00:27:16.000I just have kind of one final question.
00:27:17.000I ended with Thomas Massey with this, and I first want to start the question with a statement.
00:27:22.000First, we have your back because we know that they're going to try to character assassinate you and come after you because you are now going into waters that are no-go zones, that are really kind of considered to be the third rail of a no-fly zone.
00:27:38.000Just talk a little bit, if you can, about your own personal faith, your love of America that is giving you the conviction to go into these uncharted waters because you and I both know they're going to try to discredit you, come after your staff.
00:27:52.000They're going to try every type of clandestine effort possible.
00:27:58.000How are you anticipating that as you know that you're going up against the Leviathan itself?
00:28:05.000Well, I appreciate saying that our job is to get to the truth.
00:28:12.000And my favorite scripture verse, I may have said this in a, I don't know if I said this last week on the floor or not, but my favorite scripture verse is 2 Timothy 4:7.
00:28:19.000Paul's the old guy giving advice to the young guy.
00:28:22.000And he says, fight the good fight, finish the course, keep the faith.
00:28:25.000And I like it because of the action in it: fight, finish, keep.
00:28:29.000Not wimpy words, words of action, words that you frankly would associate with Americans.
00:28:33.000Americans are people who aren't timid.
00:28:37.000We are people of action and initiative.
00:28:39.000And our job is to make sure this country will always offer its citizens the ability to set a goal, have a dream, and go make it happen and not have the government impact that and hurt you in that effort.
00:28:54.000And, you know, I've had all kinds of things said about me.
00:28:56.000I assume they'll say more bad things about me, but we'll just kind of do the work of the American people and make sure we protect the liberties we enjoy under our Constitution.
00:29:04.000In my opinion, what you are about to embark on is the most important project of this new Congress.
00:31:14.000And again, the credit goes towards the holdouts that negotiated this sort of deal and this sort of pace.
00:31:22.000And today, Kevin McCarthy has come out and he has said that, hey, I want you, the American people, to see all of the footage from January 6th.
00:31:34.000Those 14,000 hours, let's make it public.
00:33:21.000It's not involved in the anti-CCP committee.
00:33:23.000It's not involved in any of those things.
00:33:25.000And so all of these are wins that can happen siloed off within the House of Representatives.
