The Charlie Kirk Show - The Invasion of America — Your Tax Dollars at Work

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, James O'Keefe joins the program for a bombshell story about the border, how your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the invasion of the country.

00:00:07.000 Then, Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton joins the program for what he's doing to try to secure the border.

00:00:13.000 And we have an honest conversation about inflation and the fiscal health of our country.

00:00:17.000 Are you struggling to buy a home or you see your dollar just getting weaker and weaker?

00:00:21.000 Listen to this episode, especially the end.

00:01:37.000 I have two comeback players of the year in 2023: James O'Keefe and Tucker Carlson.

00:01:43.000 James O'Keefe, they tried to take him out.

00:01:45.000 They tried to make him go away, and he is back with a vengeance, breaking stories, holding powerful people accountable.

00:01:52.000 It really is amazing to see.

00:01:54.000 And to give credit where credit is due, we played James O'Keefe's reporting on the Epstein Amy Roebuck last hour.

00:02:02.000 Pretty amazing.

00:02:03.000 James, welcome to the program.

00:02:04.000 You have another story to break with us, and you keep on fighting no matter how hard they try to take you out.

00:02:10.000 Tell us about this migrant story.

00:02:12.000 This is old-fashioned journalism.

00:02:15.000 You were just in Town for America Fest.

00:02:18.000 You obviously had your atmospherics because you're a journalist, you know, looking around, listening.

00:02:24.000 And next thing you know, you stumble into a major story.

00:02:28.000 I have such respect for this because this is how journalism should be done.

00:02:31.000 You're just going about your business, and boom, something is amiss.

00:02:34.000 Tell us about it.

00:02:35.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:02:36.000 Yes, I was in town for your Amfest.

00:02:39.000 First, the ticket agent pilot in the airport pulled me aside and said, O'Keefe, you got to check out these buses.

00:02:48.000 So I come back.

00:02:49.000 I was there for your AmFest.

00:02:51.000 And then last week, I came back and sources led me on to 1211 East Apache.

00:02:56.000 That's in Phoenix.

00:02:57.000 That's a mile away from Sky Harbor.

00:02:59.000 It's sort of a secret migrant facility.

00:03:01.000 And I was offered a bribe to not report on the secret migrant facility where they ship quote-unquote refugees on the hour every hour to Terminal 3 and 4 Phoenix, Sky Harbor. 0.55

00:03:14.000 I speak to one of the leaders, a man named Thomas Robles through the fence, calls me a domestic terrorist, calls the Sergeant Sheriff's Office on me.

00:03:22.000 They keep calling the police just for asking questions.

00:03:25.000 And then I discover that a group Charlie called International Rescue Committee, that's a 501c3 with a $1.3 billion, that's with a B, billion dollar budget, gets $400 million from the federal government to fly these migrants to New Jersey, New York, and Chicago.

00:03:46.000 And all of this apparently happening, nobody's filmed it, reported on it.

00:03:51.000 So we just put this video out, Charlie.

00:03:54.000 You're in the neck of the woods.

00:03:55.000 And It's gone viral and it's getting a lot of whistleblowers inside the airlines and the bus companies to contact me.

00:04:02.000 Okay, so I want to just have everyone understand this.

00:04:04.000 So the first thing is that there's like a holding facility about a mile from Sky Harbor.

00:04:10.000 Now, these are illegal foreigners, right? 1.00

00:04:12.000 They call them migrants.

00:04:14.000 These are people that are here illegally, right? 1.00

00:04:17.000 In the country, and they're in this.

00:04:20.000 I spoke to them.

00:04:21.000 They actually crossed the border in Arizona.

00:04:23.000 They showed me their papers.

00:04:25.000 They're holding these papers.

00:04:26.000 They crossed illegally.

00:04:28.000 And all of them are operating under the pretense of being refugees. 0.93

00:04:32.000 This is apparently a money grab for the nonprofits who get their money.

00:04:36.000 You can't make this stuff up from the Health and Human Services gives them hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

00:04:41.000 So it's a money-driven sort of trafficking thing where the more people they put through this thing, the more money they get from the federal government.

00:04:50.000 And Charlie, these illegal immigrants are then bussed on the hour to Terminal Four where they get off the bus. 1.00

00:04:58.000 They're given airplane tickets.

00:05:01.000 The pilots are upset.

00:05:02.000 That's why they're talking to me.

00:05:04.000 And they're put on planes and they're flown to New Jersey, New York, and Chicago.

00:05:10.000 And I spoke to these people.

00:05:12.000 I spoke in Spanish to some of them and they said they're voting for Joe Biden.

00:05:16.000 I mean, I don't even know where to begin except to say that this is probably, I'm just scratching the surface.

00:05:22.000 There's probably something more sinister going, but I was talking to your producer here.

00:05:27.000 I think it's at least a money grab.

00:05:29.000 So if you go to this, it's a huge racket.

00:05:31.000 And by the way, Speaker Johnson has been such a disappointment.

00:05:34.000 These people are not holding this accountable.

00:05:36.000 Rescue.org.

00:05:38.000 You guys could check it out.

00:05:39.000 Quote: seeking asylum in the United States is legal.

00:05:42.000 Even during a pandemic, people travel to the southern border of the United States to seek refuge, including from political turmoil.

00:05:48.000 Oh, political turmoil is refugee status. 1.00

00:05:51.000 Well, then our whole country is a refugee. 1.00

00:05:54.000 Rampant violence in Central America.

00:05:56.000 Have you been to Chicago lately?

00:05:57.000 While the Trump administration policies have left behind a broken asylum system, Joe Biden can take bold action to create a safe, orderly, and fair system.

00:06:04.000 Let's play Cut 40.

00:06:06.000 Estas Pensando en Votar en las eleciones en estados finidos.

00:06:13.000 Si, okay, Biden or Trump?

00:06:22.000 Biden, estas, estas pensado and Voter en Novembre.

00:06:28.000 Novembre, si?

00:06:34.000 Did you fly here?

00:06:35.000 Did you cross the border?

00:06:38.000 Oh, you crossed the border.

00:06:39.000 Where did you cross?

00:06:40.000 In Arizona?

00:06:43.000 You crossed the border illegally against the law?

00:06:48.000 Yeah.

00:06:50.000 James, walk us through what's going on.

00:06:51.000 And these people are admitting, yeah, I just, I illegally, I broke the law.

00:06:54.000 Now they're in the interior.

00:06:55.000 They get a piece of paper for a court date in three years.

00:06:58.000 And these are your new fellow Americans, everybody.

00:07:01.000 Yeah, those are you saw a man from Guinea there and you saw a man from Guatemala and they had those documents.

00:07:08.000 They just crossed the border, went through the fence, crossed illegally, and they get these asylum papers.

00:07:14.000 And they came from 1211.

00:07:17.000 I think it's important for me to give the address.

00:07:18.000 This is a public facility.

00:07:19.000 It's an An Ott former school converted into a holding location for human beings. 0.97

00:07:25.000 1211 East Apache gives them blankets, American Red Cross is involved, and then busts them. 0.51

00:07:30.000 So those guys you just saw, they walked off of a bus that I followed to the airport and they're just doing what they're doing, but people are shuffling them to the airport.

00:07:42.000 They're getting on the airplanes and they're being shipped to New Jersey and New York and Chicago.

00:07:49.000 And it's happening all day, every day, on the hour at 3 or 4 a.m.

00:07:54.000 Probably about a hundred of these, these people that come to the airport and then every hour about a dozen, get off of, off of the bus and Charlie, we have more video of that we're going to be releasing.

00:08:04.000 You can't.

00:08:05.000 This is like something out of a movie.

00:08:07.000 The buses as we were, we were driving the airport were swerving to try to evade us and at one point the bus actually tried to smash into my car to prevent me from filming, and and that's reckless driving for sure.

00:08:21.000 And then when I got to the airport, they would not open the door of the bus just because I was standing about 20 feet away.

00:08:27.000 So that shows me they're doing things that they're not proud of, that there's behaviors that they're ashamed of, and that tells me there's more to the story here.

00:08:37.000 There's something very nefarious going on beyond just the billion dollars and federal money and all this.

00:08:43.000 There's something worse and that's what i'm trying to get to, the bottom of.

00:08:45.000 Play cut 41.

00:08:46.000 Guys, this is unbelievable.

00:08:48.000 This is happening in your country.

00:08:49.000 Why are we putting up with this?

00:08:51.000 That, by the way, all the local Arizona media they're not covering this at all.

00:08:54.000 Play cut 41.

00:08:56.000 Are you transporting um migrants to the airport, sir?

00:09:02.000 Shut the door right in my face, sir.

00:09:04.000 Who do you?

00:09:04.000 Who do you work for, sir?

00:09:06.000 I work for none of them.

00:09:10.000 I don't gotta leave anywhere.

00:09:11.000 This is a sidewalk.

00:09:14.000 I'd like to who you uh have it on video.

00:09:18.000 That's a man named Jesus Moreno who works for this IRC International Rescue Committee.

00:09:24.000 He also attempted to bribe me.

00:09:26.000 That's another part of the video.

00:09:27.000 He said, if you want money, i'll give you money.

00:09:29.000 How much are they paying you?

00:09:30.000 I don't think he actually initially knew who I was.

00:09:33.000 He just knew that I was there to uh ask questions and, for all he knew, I was just a random person who was frustrated by what the clinic is doing.

00:09:41.000 And there's another man named Thomas Robles and Charlie, you're really versed in the political architecture of of these left-wing organizations.

00:09:48.000 These are these are kingpin people in In Arizona, Democratic and left-wing politics that are running and organizing this facility.

00:09:58.000 I've reached out to Thomas Roblos for comment.

00:10:00.000 I've reached out to Jesus Moreno for comment.

00:10:04.000 Charlie, they called the police on me.

00:10:06.000 The sergeant showed up and and they were trying to have me arrested for standing on a public street.

00:10:12.000 So i've tagged these people in the video.

00:10:14.000 Um we're, I don't.

00:10:16.000 We're just trying to report what's going on, who's behind this and the money involved.

00:10:22.000 This is a developing story.

00:10:23.000 We're breaking apart too soon and sources are coming to a KEEF, media group pilots, bus drivers they're all coming to me and i'm i'm following up as soon as I can.

00:10:31.000 Your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the invasion, the replacement of the country. 0.97

00:10:39.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.

00:10:43.000 If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.

00:10:53.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called strong cell and it changed my health in a very profound way.

00:10:58.000 I take it every single day.

00:11:01.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.

00:11:02.000 I did the research, google and look up online.

00:11:05.000 What happens When you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it's simple.

00:11:10.000 Every area of your body has cells.

00:11:12.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.

00:11:16.000 You don't have to take my word for it.

00:11:17.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.

00:11:19.000 After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.

00:11:25.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.

00:11:29.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.

00:11:32.000 At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.

00:11:37.000 I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.

00:11:44.000 Customer for life.

00:11:45.000 Thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.

00:11:48.000 So there it is.

00:11:48.000 You've heard from me directly and some of the users who have seen their lives changed by Strong Cell.

00:11:53.000 I personally recommend taking it every day for at least 30 days.

00:11:57.000 I take it every day before I go on the air, and it's helped me in more ways than I can even name.

00:12:01.000 Each of our bodies is very different.

00:12:03.000 So I would recommend you give the supplement at least two to three months to see the changes in your body.

00:12:08.000 Go to strongcell.com and learn more for yourself.

00:12:34.000 James, I am going to shift gears mid-segment because I want to make sure you give us the context with that Epstein clip because it's amazing.

00:12:41.000 You deserve credit.

00:12:41.000 It was years ago when you were at Veritas, Amy Robach, but I just want to play this.

00:12:45.000 Play Cut 50, everybody.

00:12:46.000 Would you change the law?

00:12:47.000 Do you support changes to the law to reduce the flow?

00:12:51.000 And I'll give you specifics that Republicans want on the table.

00:12:53.000 They want the standard for allowing a person to come across the border in between ports of entry, illegally is the word for it, and wait here.

00:13:01.000 They want that standard to be higher.

00:13:03.000 Right now, it's just credible fear.

00:13:05.000 I am privileged to be a part of those discussions and provide technical and operational advice to those senators who are focused on solutions.

00:13:14.000 This is all about solutions, not making the problem worse by taking away the funding that our public servants rely on to do their work in the service of the American public.

00:13:27.000 I mean, this guy is a traitor to the United States.

00:13:30.000 But one minute, James, just kind of as a reporter, your spidey senses are going off. 0.87

00:13:34.000 There's something clandestine going on here, isn't there?

00:13:37.000 Yeah, I think that if you look at the behavior, slamming gates, running away from me, buses, Charlie, they're supposed to drop the refugees, migrants, illegal, when they saw me stand there, their buses kept going in circles. 1.00

00:13:51.000 I mean, that behavior shows they have something more to hide.

00:13:56.000 It's a public tax.

00:13:57.000 You run a 51c3.

00:13:58.000 Look at the Schedule B of International Rescue Committee.

00:14:01.000 $415 million came from the federal government, Charlie.

00:14:04.000 From the HHS.

00:14:06.000 The federal government is subsidizing the nonprofit.

00:14:10.000 And the guy who's the CEO, Charlie, makes over a million dollars a year.

00:14:13.000 So this is at least a money grab.

00:14:15.000 My spidey sense tells me there's something far more sinister going on.

00:14:19.000 When I spoke to Jesus Moreno offered me the bribe, Thomas Robles, one of the kingpings of Phoenix left-wing politics, it just struck me as like a trafficking/slash cartel front.

00:14:29.000 It was really dark.

00:14:30.000 And I think there's Elon Musk responding there to our story, shocked that $415 million is coming from the U.S. government.

00:14:39.000 More to come, Charlie, and stay tuned for part two.

00:14:42.000 So let's shift gears here because, James, I want to make sure you get credit for this.

00:14:44.000 It's one of the most important Epstein clips out there. 0.60

00:14:46.000 This is Amy Roebuck on Candid Camera.

00:14:48.000 I'm going to play the tape and then you riff, James, context, how you got this.

00:14:52.000 So important.

00:14:52.000 PlayCut 43.

00:14:54.000 I've had the story for three years.

00:14:55.000 I've had this interview with Virginia Roberts.

00:14:57.000 We would not put it on the air.

00:14:59.000 First of all, I was told, who's Jeffrey Epstein?

00:15:01.000 No one knows who that is. 1.00

00:15:02.000 This is a stupid story. 0.99

00:15:04.000 Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. 1.00

00:15:13.000 We were so afraid we wouldn't be able to interview Kate that we that also quashed the story.

00:15:20.000 And then Alan Dershowitz was also implicated in it because of the planes.

00:15:25.000 She told me everything.

00:15:26.000 She had pictures.

00:15:27.000 She had everything.

00:15:28.000 She was in hiding for 12 years.

00:15:29.000 We convinced her to come out.

00:15:30.000 We convinced her to talk to us.

00:15:32.000 It was unbelievable what we had.

00:15:34.000 Clinton, we had everything.

00:15:38.000 I tried for three years to get it on to no avail.

00:15:41.000 And now it's all coming out and it's like these new revelations.

00:15:45.000 And I freaking had all of it.

00:15:47.000 I'm so pissed right now.

00:15:49.000 Like every day I get more and more pissed because I'm just like, oh my God, what we had was unreal.

00:15:56.000 Other women backing it up. 0.92

00:15:58.000 Hey, yep.

00:16:00.000 Brad Edwards, the attorney, three years ago saying, like, there will come a day when we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known.

00:16:10.000 I had it all three years ago.

00:16:13.000 James, what's going on here?

00:16:14.000 Tell us the story.

00:16:15.000 A rare moment of candid honesty and transparency from the anchor there at Good Morning America, Amy Roebach, the then anchor that was recorded on a lav mic during a commercial break.

00:16:27.000 And one of the individuals at ABC organized owned by Disney.

00:16:31.000 That's ironic because it's a children's company.

00:16:33.000 But one of the people working for ABC had a recording of that recording and gave it to me.

00:16:42.000 That's the deep throat inside ABC, so to speak.

00:16:45.000 Still working at ABC, by the way.

00:16:48.000 And that's Charlie, the whistleblower insider.

00:16:51.000 That was four years ago recording Amy Roebuck, upset that the brass at ABC News spiked, canceled the story to protect their relationship with the Clintons and the British royal family because the president of ABC News was a close friend of Andrew, Prince Andrew.

00:17:09.000 So that's the sort of journalism.

00:17:11.000 That's the sort of video that shocks people.

00:17:16.000 And even the left, Charlie, was like impressed by that.

00:17:20.000 They said, is James O'Keefe doing good work now?

00:17:22.000 So there's a lot of these issues that bring the left and the right together.

00:19:00.000 Joining us now is the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton.

00:19:04.000 Ken, thank you so much for taking the time.

00:19:06.000 I got to be honest, talking about the border story is one of the most frustrating and depressing stories.

00:19:13.000 Talk about what your office is attempting to do to uphold the rule of law while the federal government is effectively subsidizing an invasion and treason of the United States.

00:19:22.000 So, Charlie, literally for three years, we've been trying to protect our border.

00:19:25.000 We finally passed legislation this last session in May that when it's going into effect, that protects our border, allows us to send people back that are crossing the border illegally.

00:19:36.000 And we're doing this because we all know the federal government is not just not doing that.

00:19:40.000 They're actually inviting the cartels to bring people to the border.

00:19:43.000 They're not hiding.

00:19:44.000 They're dropping them off.

00:19:45.000 They're basically logistics officers and they move them around the country.

00:19:49.000 So we're trying to stop it.

00:19:51.000 And the Biden administration says, no, we're not going to let you guys enforce law, even though we're not.

00:19:56.000 Even though we're doing just the opposite, you can't protect your citizens.

00:20:00.000 We're going to sue you.

00:20:01.000 So that's where we're at right now.

00:20:02.000 We're going to defend that.

00:20:03.000 I think the reality is we should win.

00:20:06.000 The Supreme Court should side with us given what's happened in our state.

00:20:10.000 So, you know, this is a constitutional, an ethical, and a moral question, because here's what it feels like.

00:20:17.000 It feels as if the federal government has found a glitch.

00:20:21.000 Instead of just passing new laws, which they obviously can't do because we control the House, they just don't enforce it.

00:20:29.000 They just passively not enforce the law.

00:20:31.000 Is there any way that a state can make the federal government do its job?

00:20:36.000 I mean, how much gaslighting from the Biden administration are we going to put up with?

00:20:40.000 Look, we've sued them.

00:20:42.000 We've forced them to stop not deporting people.

00:20:47.000 We've forced them to do certain things, but then they just, they come back and they change it up a little and we have to sue them again.

00:20:52.000 So it's a constant battle of, okay, we win, then they just change it up.

00:20:58.000 So if you've got an administration like the Biden administration that doesn't respect the rule of law, that doesn't respect the Constitution, it's pretty hard to actually get them to do the job.

00:21:07.000 On the other hand, that should leave us free to enforce our laws.

00:21:11.000 They aren't going to enforce any laws.

00:21:13.000 Why is it that we're limited by federal preemption on a law that they don't enforce?

00:21:16.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:21:18.000 And I hope that resonates with Supreme Court because otherwise we're left with all these really bad consequences to our state, including a lot of kids dying from fental overdoses, that we shouldn't have to suffer.

00:21:29.000 So you said it doesn't make any sense.

00:21:31.000 What is your speculation?

00:21:32.000 What is their motivation?

00:21:34.000 I mean, it is 12 to 15,000 people a day.

00:21:37.000 Look, I mean, all you can say is this is what they want.

00:21:39.000 Now, why they want it, whether it's just they want to change elections or whether they want to destabilize Republican states, but the reality is they're just they're destabilizing every state because these people are not just staying in Texas, not just staying in Arizona and California.

00:21:54.000 They're going to New York.

00:21:55.000 Maybe not as many, but they're all feeling, all these cities are feeling the effects.

00:21:59.000 So what the Biden administration is doing, I mean, it's hard to explain why they would want to harm the American people, but that's what they're doing.

00:22:07.000 They're doing it on a daily basis.

00:22:09.000 And I guess the only question is for states to step up.

00:22:11.000 So help me understand.

00:22:12.000 So now the federal government is announcing they're suing Texas.

00:22:16.000 Because Texas wants to secure their own border.

00:22:16.000 Is that right?

00:22:19.000 And so are we really at a place where a state can't prevent themselves from being invaded while the federal government is subsidizing the invasion?

00:22:29.000 That's what the Biden administration is arguing.

00:22:32.000 You all are trying to protect yourselves from illegal people coming across illegally from drug trafficking, from human trafficking, from all kinds of terrorists coming across.

00:22:44.000 You're trying to protect yourself.

00:22:45.000 You can't do that.

00:22:46.000 You're not allowed to because we have laws that say we're going to do it.

00:22:50.000 Even though we're not doing it, you can't do it.

00:22:52.000 This is how insane this whole argument is.

00:22:54.000 But that is the Biden administration.

00:22:56.000 That's the crux of what they're telling us and what they're going to tell the courts.

00:23:00.000 So I guess we're just left with very few options and they're intentionally not enforcing the law.

00:23:08.000 And I hope everyone understands that.

00:23:10.000 Ken, can you just walk us through how bad is it actually right now in Eagle Pass, Texas?

00:23:15.000 So it's not, Charlie, it's not even that they're just not enforcing a law.

00:23:18.000 They're like looking at the cartels and saying, bring your people.

00:23:24.000 We'll process them.

00:23:25.000 You don't even have to hide.

00:23:27.000 We're not just not enforcing a law.

00:23:28.000 We're actually like promoting this idea that the cartel should bring people to our country and bring drugs to the country.

00:23:35.000 So it's even worse.

00:23:36.000 And it's getting worse.

00:23:38.000 I mean, I think last month was the worst month we've ever had of people crossing the border illegally across the entire border, but also in Texas.

00:23:46.000 So it's not like it wasn't bad when Biden started this.

00:23:49.000 It's gotten worse.

00:23:51.000 Yeah, it is intentional and it's strategic.

00:23:55.000 I mean, so talk to me about the sanctuary cities argument.

00:23:59.000 So sanctuary cities are allegedly allowed to exist.

00:24:02.000 So why can't Texas have the opposite and say we're going to ignore federal, just the federal government's not going to do their job, so we'll do it.

00:24:09.000 Why do they allow sanctuary cities, but we're not allowed to secure our own southern border?

00:24:15.000 Well, you make a pretty good argument.

00:24:17.000 I agree that we're going to be making this argument eventually, I think, to the U.S. Supreme Court.

00:24:21.000 We're dealing with this terrible case out of Arizona from the Obama era where Arizona got sued and Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedy told us that states are preempted from enforcing their own state laws as it relates to immigration.

00:24:36.000 The results of that, we have seen, are catastrophic for the states.

00:24:40.000 I'm hoping with a new court and with Roberts having the opportunity to revisit the consequences of that decision, that we will get a better decision that allows us to protect ourselves.

00:24:52.000 The federal government won't do it and will actually invite the cartels to send people across the border.

00:24:58.000 I want to play a piece of tape here.

00:25:00.000 It's Cut 54.

00:25:01.000 It's Eric Adams who calls this diabolical.

00:25:04.000 I would agree.

00:25:04.000 Play Cut 54.

00:25:06.000 Have you been outsmarted by the Texas governor, Greg Abbott?

00:25:11.000 No, anyone who has a diabolical mind would do diabolical things to just treat people in an inhumane way.

00:25:18.000 We handled over 164,000 migrants and asylum seekers, and we're doing it in a humane way.

00:25:25.000 We're very clear that we're going to continue to adjust as the governor of Texas carry out these actions to make sure that we send a very clear loud message.

00:25:35.000 No bus company should be participating in this action.

00:25:38.000 We're going to communicate with our partners in this region and make sure that we tell them they should file the same level of executive order to stop this from taking place.

00:25:48.000 I want to be clear.

00:25:49.000 I don't think what Greg Abbott is doing is diabolical.

00:25:51.000 I thought Eric Adams was saying what's happening on the border is diabolical.

00:25:54.000 Eric Adams is diabolical for the record.

00:25:56.000 So I just want to make sure that's clear.

00:25:58.000 So I just want everyone to understand.

00:26:00.000 So Texas puts up wire fencing and the federal government wants to cut these fences.

00:26:04.000 I mean, Attorney General Paxton, at some point, why don't we just ignore the federal government?

00:26:09.000 We need to protect ourselves, don't we?

00:26:11.000 Well, and that's exactly what our state legislature is doing.

00:26:13.000 It's exactly why the governor signed this.

00:26:14.000 We're like, okay, the federal government is going to cut our wire, come out on our property, cut our fences.

00:26:20.000 They're going to open the border.

00:26:21.000 They're not following any federal law.

00:26:22.000 They're not following their constitutional duty.

00:26:25.000 Then we have an obligation to our own citizens to protect them.

00:26:29.000 If our government is turning their backs on us and saying, not only are we not going to protect you, but we're actually going to get more of this to happen.

00:26:36.000 We want this to happen.

00:26:38.000 All of this bad stuff that's happening to your state, bring it.

00:26:41.000 That's a problem, and that should not be allowed by any court.

00:26:45.000 It should.

00:26:47.000 It's a very unique deal where your own government hates the citizens that they're tasked to represent.

00:26:54.000 It is national daily suicide.

00:26:56.000 No, this is by far the most maddening and frustrating topic.

00:27:00.000 And I know you're fighting so hard, Attorney General Paxton, and I have respect for that and we're cheering for you.

00:27:05.000 It's just we're watching this chipping away of our beautiful country and the Biden administration and Majorkis, they're outright traitors to the country every single day, allowing it to happen.

00:27:16.000 And we feel so helpless.

00:27:18.000 And do you at times, do you, I'm sure you feel that anger, don't you?

00:27:23.000 I tell you what, Charlie, it is the most angering thing that I've had to deal with because I have too many friends in Texas that had young kids, whether they were in high school or college, who had died from fentanyl overdoses, never knowing they were taking fentanyl.

00:27:36.000 These kids are great kids and they're dead.

00:27:38.000 And I know too many people like that.

00:27:40.000 So yeah, I know there are all these other consequences, but it is very personal when you have friends that have lost children because the Biden administration has said, we're not going to stop this.

00:27:50.000 That is, I don't know what to call that other than just pure evil.

00:27:54.000 It is.

00:27:55.000 Comment on this.

00:27:56.000 Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, he wants to take Biden off the ballot in Texas if this is continuing to take Trump off in Colorado and Maine.

00:28:05.000 Your reaction.

00:28:06.000 Look, I don't think that's the approach any of us should take.

00:28:09.000 I think everybody that runs in their primary should be on the ballot.

00:28:12.000 I don't think Trump should be off the ballot.

00:28:14.000 I don't think Biden, I think it ought to be the people that decide this.

00:28:17.000 I certainly understand that sentiment.

00:28:19.000 It's frustrating me if Colorado and Maine can take a candidate, our candidate, Republican candidate, off the ballot.

00:28:26.000 We are no longer in a republic.

00:28:28.000 We're no longer in a democracy.

00:28:31.000 It is bureaucrats deciding who's going to be president.

00:28:33.000 That's wrong.

00:28:34.000 But I don't think the answer is we all do it.

00:28:36.000 That doesn't solve the problem.

00:28:38.000 Attorney General Paxton, keep fighting hard, and we have your back.

00:28:42.000 Thank you so much for the time.

00:28:43.000 Appreciate it.

00:28:44.000 Thank you.

00:28:46.000 So look, you have to game this out.

00:28:48.000 Let's say that Governor Abbott decided to defy the federal government.

00:28:53.000 Said, you know, the federal government's gone.

00:28:55.000 Well, then I almost guarantee you Joe Biden would go arrest Greg Abbott.

00:28:59.000 Almost guarantee it.

00:29:00.000 Now, Greg Abbott, I don't think he's up for that.

00:29:03.000 I don't think Greg Abbott is ready to go to federal prison.

00:29:05.000 The federal government's playing no games right now.

00:29:07.000 They are so happy.

00:29:09.000 They're thrilled by what's happening on the southern border.

00:29:12.000 12 to 15,000 non-whites coming into the country every single day.

00:29:16.000 Every day.

00:29:16.000 By the way, Elon Musk has come out, Elon Musk, and has said, this is terrible what's happening.

00:29:21.000 Joe Biden is facilitating the illegal invasion of the country.

00:29:26.000 Elon Musk.

00:29:27.000 Joe Biden looks at this and every day he's happy.

00:29:30.000 He's smiling.

00:29:30.000 He says, yep, got another 15,000 in, got another 15,000 in, got another 15,000 in, got another 15,000 in, got another 12,000 in, got another 10,000 in, got another 10,000 in every single day, everybody.

00:29:44.000 And so my provocative question is, if it was 100,000 a day, would Texas do something?

00:29:49.000 If it was 250,000 a day, would Texas do something?

00:29:53.000 Should the number matter?

00:29:55.000 Should the number matter?

00:30:00.000 All right, I want to tell you about Herzog.

00:30:01.000 Herzog Foundation is amazing.

00:30:03.000 I want you guys to check it out right now.

00:30:05.000 We've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families.

00:30:13.000 For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with the folks at the Herzog Foundation.

00:30:19.000 They are the trusted source of American K through 12 private education with a remarkable suite of resources for parents and grandparents.

00:30:39.000 That is HerzogFoundation.com.

00:30:41.000 Herzogfoundation.com, H-E-R-Z-O-G, HerzogFoundation.com.

00:30:51.000 It is a multi-front act of treason.

00:30:55.000 The border is the best example. 0.72

00:30:57.000 Maorkis should be in federal prison the rest of his life for what he's allowed to have happen. 0.99

00:31:00.000 Joe Biden is a traitor to the country. 0.97

00:31:02.000 There's no spin. 1.00

00:31:03.000 There's no BS.

00:31:04.000 Mayorkis, let me ask a question.

00:31:06.000 How would Mayorkas as head of Department of Homeland Security be any different than Xi Jiping as head of DHS?

00:31:16.000 What would they be doing differently?

00:31:17.000 I'm open for any ideas.

00:31:19.000 How would they be handling the border any differently?

00:31:22.000 If a swore enemy of the United States, Xi Ji Ping, or whatever, pick your person, Vladimir Putin.

00:31:29.000 If they were head of Department of Homeland Security, what decisions on the border would they, how would that look any differently than what's happening right now?

00:31:39.000 But I do want to emphasize another massive threat to this country.

00:31:43.000 And we don't talk about it enough.

00:31:45.000 It's a little wonky.

00:31:46.000 It used to be a big deal, but it's going to require sacrifice.

00:31:49.000 Nobody likes this story.

00:31:50.000 And by the way, you've paid into your Medicare.

00:31:52.000 You've paid into your Social Security.

00:31:53.000 I'm not talking about that.

00:31:54.000 We're going to put that aside.

00:31:56.000 I'm talking about the addiction to government spending.

00:32:00.000 It's generational theft.

00:32:03.000 $34 trillion, $34 trillion debt.

00:32:08.000 And many of you are going to have kids and grandkids that will be indentured slaves.

00:32:17.000 The federal government, including Speaker Johnson, who is a massive disappointment.

00:32:21.000 Holy crow.

00:32:22.000 Jack Psobic was ahead of the curve.

00:32:25.000 We were not far behind him.

00:32:26.000 We went pretty hard on Speaker Johnson because I said, this guy's not cut out for it.

00:32:29.000 He's been a huge disappointment.

00:32:31.000 He had this little press conference yesterday. 0.99

00:32:33.000 Weak, vanilla, timid.

00:32:36.000 Oh, we're doing this laddered CR. 0.98

00:32:38.000 Just save the nonsense, man. 0.73

00:32:41.000 Enough.

00:32:42.000 What are you doing to secure the border?

00:32:44.000 You should have shut the government down, worked through Christmas, all this stuff.

00:32:46.000 It's just such a waste of time.

00:32:47.000 But what about spending?

00:32:49.000 We're at a point where we are borrowing deficit.

00:32:54.000 Deficit and debts are two different things.

00:32:56.000 Debt is the cumulative amount of money that we've borrowed in our country's history.

00:33:00.000 Deficit is the annual burn.

00:33:03.000 $2 trillion a year.

00:33:05.000 No recession, no war, no COVID.

00:33:08.000 The new normal is to borrow $2 trillion a year.

00:33:15.000 So the federal government is broadcasting.

00:33:18.000 And this is what I'm trying to tell people.

00:33:19.000 Again, I'm not here to sell you gold.

00:33:21.000 I'm not whatever.

00:33:21.000 If you want to go to noblegoldinvestments.com, they're the best.

00:33:23.000 But this is why people say, Charlie, do you think real estate is going to go up?

00:33:27.000 I say, in the next five to 10 years in hot markets, it has nowhere to go but up because they are broadcasting to you in real time.

00:33:34.000 They have zero appetite to cut spending.

00:33:38.000 There is not appetite in Republicans.

00:33:40.000 They want the war machine.

00:33:41.000 They want the FBI.

00:33:42.000 They want the CIA. 0.74

00:33:43.000 Democrats want all these social welfare programs.

00:33:46.000 Despite the fraud and the abuse, you know, there's still COVID relief programs that they can't get consensus to cut back.

00:33:53.000 There is still COVID relief programs that are on the books, costing us anywhere between tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:34:01.000 Some estimates say that there was over a trillion dollars of fraud during COVID.

00:34:06.000 Just fraud.

00:34:09.000 So when you are running major deficits and you have inflation and you have big debt, you could do three things.

00:34:19.000 You can cut spending.

00:34:20.000 They're not going to do that.

00:34:22.000 You could raise taxes.

00:34:23.000 I certainly hope they don't do that, but they're probably not.

00:34:27.000 Or you can inflate your way out of it.

00:34:29.000 This is the sickest path forward, but it's the only option.

00:34:33.000 And I'm going to make a prediction.

00:34:35.000 By the way, all the inflation numbers are lies.

00:34:37.000 They're absolute lies. 1.00

00:34:38.000 The economic data is a pile of trash. 1.00

00:34:40.000 Don't listen to them. 0.97

00:34:42.000 The real inflation rate is between 12 to 15 percent, minimum.

00:34:45.000 12 to 15 percent.

00:34:46.000 It's upwards of 20 to 25 percent here in Phoenix.

00:34:48.000 It's 20 to 25 percent easily in Phoenix.

00:34:51.000 Look at rent, look at food, stop looking at the CPI.

00:34:54.000 They are lying to you.

00:34:55.000 The same way the government lied about the vaccine, the government's lying about the border, the government lies about the Ukraine war, the government is lying about inflation.

00:35:02.000 It is far worse than any of the numbers are reflecting.

00:35:05.000 Why is the stock market going up?

00:35:06.000 Cheap money.

00:35:07.000 Why are real estate asset prices going up for high-income earners?

00:35:10.000 Cheap money.

00:35:10.000 And it's not going to change.

00:35:12.000 Janet Yellen and this cartel of thugs running the Treasury Department and Jerome Powell, they're telling you without telling you, the new normal will be structural 15 to 20% inflation minimum for the rest of your life.

00:35:28.000 That means that if you're not getting a 15 to 20% raise, if you're not earning 15 to 20% on your money, that you're getting poorer every single year.

00:35:39.000 They're destroying the dollar.

00:35:41.000 And it's all a byproduct of our inability to make sane and rational and responsible fiscal choices.

00:35:51.000 A lot more on this topic.

00:35:52.000 We're kind of running out of time here, but you're going to enter a new normal of 15 to 20% inflation, maybe even more for the rest of your life.

00:36:01.000 That's what they're telling you without saying it.
