00:01:01.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:09.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:16.000And I know we have important work to talk about, but regarding the military vaccine issue, tomorrow, the National Defense Authorization Act will be marked up in the House Armed Services Committee.
00:02:27.000I will introduce an amendment to end the vaccine mandate to reinstate everyone who has been driven out of the military with their rank and back pay.
00:02:36.000And what your emailer is correct about is that it won't just be Democrats opposing me.
00:02:41.000When I offered this amendment previously, it was the leading Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, Mike Rogers, who opposed my amendment and who said that it should be the Republican position that we have a 100% vaccination rate in the military.
00:02:55.000That is something that I strongly oppose, and I don't think that should be the view of the leading Republican on armed services.
00:03:20.000Just in 2022 alone, the IRS bought $725,000 worth of ammunition.
00:03:28.000And so they've got about 2,000 agents who engage in law enforcement.
00:03:32.000I sort of think about the IRS as people in windowless cubicles with green eyeshades, not people, you know, busting doors down and unloading ammunition.
00:03:41.000But nonetheless, even if that were the case, you're looking at over 1,200 rounds of nine millimeter ammunition for every single agent that the IRS has.
00:03:53.000And what's interesting is that while the Biden administration is doing everything they can to stop law-abiding Americans from getting firearms and ammunition, they are, on the other hand, soaking up the supply that exists in the marketplace and using it for the government, not for the citizenry.
00:04:10.000Is it possible other departments are doing the same thing that we don't know about?
00:04:15.000There are very curious purchases of ammunition across the enterprise of government.
00:04:20.000Perhaps the oddest one I found, the Railroad Retirement Board spent thousands and thousands of dollars on 9mm ammunition.
00:04:30.000And so it is true that every single agency seems to want their own army and that they want to be armed well.
00:04:40.000It's very suspicious at the very least.
00:04:43.000So give us some more insight into kind of what's happening in D.C.
00:05:08.000Well, you know that the nodes of power in Washington, D.C. always want to grow like a cancerous tumor.
00:05:16.000And all they want is anything they have and anything that borders it.
00:05:19.000And as these agencies have more and more mission creep, they literally mission creep into law enforcement.
00:05:25.000And I think you're right, the Republican Party has not done enough to stand up against Joe Biden's effort to try to arm, you know, Italians oceans away while at the same time disarming American citizens.
00:05:39.000Republican senators have been totally willing to go along with Joe Biden and both endeavors.
00:05:44.000And right now, the greatest threat to your Second Amendment rights, Republicans in the United States Senate cutting deals on red flag laws to bribe states to enact them.
00:05:55.000It was crazy to me that I heard Senator Cornyn respond recently that, well, you know, we're not for a federal red flag law.
00:06:02.000We're just going to make it easier for states to enact red flag laws.
00:06:06.000The reality there is that they want to see high utilization of the apparatus of government taking people's guns away without due process, without an opportunity to be heard in some cases.
00:06:18.000It is not an appropriate use of the federal tax dollar to buy ammunition for the IRS, or in this case, to be engaging in the other tomfoolery that we see from Republican senators willing to bribe states for red flag laws.
00:07:20.000Well, the patriotism still burns very bright among those who are signing up to serve our country in a variety of facets in the military.
00:07:30.000But I mean, does it feel sometimes, Charlie, like our military is being run by men in dresses at the Pentagon?
00:07:35.000I mean, every time I have a question to the opportunity to question Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, they are just full-throated in their embrace of wokeism.
00:07:48.000Now you have a circumstance, Charlie, where service members can actually defy orders to go to a state like Florida or Texas or Mississippi because those states don't have the right abortion laws or maybe the don't say gay bill would allow someone to refuse orders.
00:08:05.000So this isn't just using the military for social justice goals.
00:08:11.000It is actually an erosion of our readiness because we aren't focused on the lasers and munitions and hypersonics and drones and swarming capabilities where in some cases we are being outpaced by China.
00:08:25.000Instead, they're focused on pronouns, socialism.
00:08:29.000I mean, at the National War College, there was actually a lesson taught by a visiting professor about the values of democratic socialism.
00:08:39.000They realized that the DOD was one of the last areas of Washington, D.C. that had not been just totally sucked up by the radical left.
00:08:49.000They'd already controlled the Department of Labor, the EPA, the Department of Education.
00:09:26.000I want a military that is strong, focused, appreciated, and rarely used.
00:09:33.000And in fact, only used for the interests of our country, not foreign interests abroad, not special interests here at home.
00:09:40.000The neoconservatives won't be able to play their war games if we convert the military into drag queen story time instead of the most lethal fighting forces.
00:10:51.000You like you having your hands on your weapons where you are, being able to get folks enthusiastic about the shape and get to host radio and do all these wonderful things.
00:11:00.000So, Matt, there's a couple, I want to kind of keep building this out, though.
00:11:03.000I just, before I ask you about you potentially nominating Trump for Speaker of the House, which I find to be hilarious, I want to ask you about prioritization.
00:11:13.000Why is it the Republican Party help our viewers and listeners understand why do they, with an urgent pace, sprint to the House floor, cancel their vacations, postpone their fundraisers to go send Zelensky $40 billion while our border remains wide open?
00:11:30.000We're living through an opioid epidemic.
00:11:34.000Explain to me the calculus, the drama, what goes on in the inner hallway discussions where it's actually $56 billion total.
00:11:42.000Help me understand this because I feel like I live in a different planet.
00:11:47.000We have an element of the Republican Party in Washington that seeks to return to the neoconservative mean.
00:11:54.000And remember, Charlie, the Biden administration only requested $15 billion for our own border.
00:12:01.000During the Trump administration, we had to beg and plead with Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell to get $1.7 billion for our border wall with Mexico.
00:12:13.000And yet, with really no question, we send, you're right, the number's closer to $56 billion over to a conflict in Europe where the direct connection to American life is tenuous at best.
00:12:25.000And I think it's because a lot of Republicans believe that America's role in the world is to be the global piggy bank, to be the global policeman.
00:12:34.000And oftentimes, there are a lot of contractors and a lot of global actors that get this money.
00:12:40.000Right now, there's not a whole lot of incentive for the Ukrainian elites to conclude these hostilities because as long as the hostilities are ongoing, the cash spigot remains on.
00:12:53.000And a lot of these folks have offshore accounts.
00:12:56.000There are sales of U.S. military equipment right now happening on the dark web.
00:13:04.000And it's not as if we don't know that.
00:13:06.000It's that we're willing participants in the grift because a lot of people in Congress have a lot of friends who do well on that personally and financially in securing their own power bases, even as we see the American people continue to get crushed by irresponsible decisions in Washington.
00:13:51.000While people in your district, they can't afford, they can't afford gas or groceries.
00:13:56.000And so I just find the whole thing to be so extraordinary.
00:13:59.000Okay, you have said that you are going to nominate Donald Trump for Speaker of the House if we take back the House in November, which I believe we will.
00:14:09.000Donald Trump has a unique ability to be able to marshal conservatives toward an agenda and outcomes.
00:14:16.000Too often, congressional leadership is solely determined by who can raise the most money and redistribute the most money from political action committees and lobbyists.
00:14:27.000And that means that many of our leaders have already sold shares of themselves to large corporations, woke corporations, and a lot of interests that aren't American interests.
00:14:38.000And so I think that Donald Trump has the vision and the energy to do it.
00:14:43.000What I have to confess to you, Charlie, is the rod tip has not exactly bent with his interest on the subject.
00:14:49.000I've tried to sell, you only have to be speaker for like an hour.
00:14:51.000Just take the gavel from Nancy Pelosi.
00:14:54.000Look at that look on her face, give a great speech, and then we can elect Jim Jordan to be speaker or something.
00:14:59.000But I've tried to convince him on a short tenured speakership, but in every conversation, it seems he has his eyes on a different job in our federal government.
00:15:08.000I think he would be the first person to be president and speaker.
00:15:12.000I know that John Quincy Adams was president and member of Congress.
00:15:15.000I don't think he became Speaker of the House.
00:15:17.000He definitely wasn't because he was in the minority advocating for abolitionist slavery.
00:15:22.000Good luck becoming Speaker in the 1820s with that view.
00:15:24.000So he'd be the first ever, I believe, to be both the Speaker of the House and he would be a non-member speaker, which would be hilarious.
00:15:48.000Look, free speech, religious liberty, and the Second Amendment.
00:15:51.000Our rights are being destroyed across the board.
00:15:53.000And look, many months ago, I told our team, I am sick of paying all this money to these cell phone providers that hate me and hate our values.
00:16:03.000So I said, go find that really cheerful guy.
00:16:06.000I think his name was Glenn at one of our events, and he kept on wearing the Patriot Mobile shirt.
00:16:12.000And I vetted Patriot Mobile head to toe, their business model, how they do things.
00:16:18.000And I was convinced that we must partner with them.
00:16:20.000They're not only America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider, they're one of the few companies fighting back.
00:16:24.000They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carrier.
00:16:27.000So you get the same great service plus the peace of mind, and your money is combating the left's attempt to silence you.
00:16:32.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:16:40.000Patriot Mobile shares your values, and they support organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, like Turning Point USA, and veteran and first responder heroes.
00:16:52.000If you have a big major carrier, you are funding the bad guys.
00:16:56.000That money might as well be a check, Democrat, national committee, or you could have it go to Patriot Mobile, where they give their proceeds back to Turning Point USA, veterans, and amazing groups.
00:17:38.000PatriotMobile.com slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:17:41.000Don't give your money to BLM or the Alphabet Mafia or whatever when you are doing the regular thing.
00:17:47.000Instead, make the switch, patriotmobile.com slash Charlie.
00:17:54.000The only reason we know about this story out of West Point, them teaching critical race theory, is thanks to the phenomenal organization, Judicial Watch, one of the best organizations on the planet, run by Tom Fitton, who's a great American patriot.
00:18:10.000And it's just amazing when we go through the details of that.
00:18:48.000So we had two federal lawsuits because they refused to respond to our request in a timely way or at all about what they were doing with CRT up there.
00:18:58.000And they finally turned over at least some documents, which, you know, are outrageous.
00:19:04.000But, you know, given the fanaticism that the Biden administration has about critical race theory and incorporating it into its whole governance program, it's frankly no surprise.
00:19:18.000But it's deadly serious in the sense that we have our rising officer corps in West Point, you know, the U.S. Military Academy there.
00:19:28.000It was founded by, set up by George Washington.
00:19:31.000It's like, you know, it's part of our nation's history and certainly it's the core, you know, it's core to our military history as well.
00:19:42.000And our cadets, our rising officers, are being force-fed this CRT material that talks about, and I'm sure you've talked about this on the show, white privilege, black victimization, white oppression.
00:19:59.000There's language in there talking about slavery in modern America, suggesting that blacks are facing something like slavery today.
00:20:15.000And they're not being trained in it as a warning that this is what we combat as a military, this type of thinking abroad.
00:20:24.000No, it's this internal undermining of our military culture and our constitutional system in the heart of in the heart, in the heart of the army, the West Point.
00:20:37.000I mean, I want to just read some of this from your wonderful exposure here.
00:20:42.000Do you think affirmative action creates an environment for reverse discrimination?
00:20:48.000In another slide, it says that racism is ordinary and white Americans have primarily benefited from civil rights legislation.
00:20:55.000It says that white people are more likely to have a college education, receive recommendations for medical screenings, receive bank approval for mortgage, or get promoted at a job.
00:21:04.000It also states that black people are more likely than white people to live in poverty, be homicide victims, or be incarcerated.
00:21:11.000So what's amazing about this, Tom, and you've done a lot of lawsuits around this critical race theory issue, is that sometimes they'll hide the idea of critical race theory.
00:21:20.000According to your revelations at Judicial Watch, it literally says CRT, does it not?
00:21:26.000Oh, yes, the cadets are expected to explain themselves using the language of CRT in a debate about affirmative action.
00:21:35.000And, you know, and to read it is to kind of highlight the absurdity of it.
00:21:39.000I mean, it's absurd to us, but that's the way these Marxists talk about these issues.
00:21:54.000But of course, at its core, it's about a revolutionary approach to undermining everything America is about.
00:22:00.000And when they talk about white privilege and black victimization, telling the whites in the class that they're oppressors, telling the blacks in the class that they're victims and the equivalent of slaves, how does that work in terms of setting up a cohesive army, a cohesive military, a sprit de corps?
00:22:25.000But, you know, I was noting on Fox today, Charlie, you remember Biden came in and did that purge of the boards of visitors of this military camp, the service academies.
00:22:39.000He knocked out General Keene, for instance, from the West Point Board of Visitors.
00:22:46.000Now, the Board of Visitors doesn't necessarily run West Point, but it provides a level of expertise and advisory capacity to look at this type of activity.
00:22:59.000And of course, that whole advisory board has been largely shut down for the last almost six, eight months.
00:24:46.000I don't know if you noticed this, but the FBI was in on it.
00:24:50.000You know, how is it you can persuade a jury here in DC that one of the top lawyers for the Democratic Party goes into the lawyer for the FBI, talk about something having to do with obviously the campaign, even though it was all a big lie.
00:25:07.000And the FBI pretends, oh, we had no idea this person was coming from Hillary.
00:25:13.000And indeed, the information from the trial suggests that the leadership of the FBI didn't want the line agents investigating it talking to the sources of this material.
00:25:25.000So, you know, it was a terrible loss, in my view, for the rule of law here.
00:25:30.000But it highlighted that A, Hillary did it, and the FBI's compromised, and that Durham evidently doesn't want to do the hard work and the heavy lifting, as I call it, of taking on the bad guys in the federal government, namely those who are running the FBI and the Justice Department's unprecedented and corrupt operation to try to destroy a president.
00:26:08.000It was a fake Mueller thing to go investigate and indict anyone in Trump's orbit.
00:26:14.000So, Tom, I want to ask you, if my memory serves me correctly, and correct me if I'm wrong here, Judicial Watch was suing for some of the footage on January 6th.
00:26:27.000Because, based on what I have heard, there's still 14,000 hours of missing footage.
00:26:33.000Yeah, that's the word that the government gave to the courts in their January 6th prosecutions.
00:26:40.000And so, what we asked for was all of the footage and the emails of the security apparatus in the House and the Senate that oversaw the Capitol Hill Police.
00:26:50.000There's a special board appointed at that time by McConnell and Hillary and Nancy Pelosi.
00:26:56.000So, this is a bipartisan-focused inquiry, right?
00:27:00.000And so, they came back and told us, you can't have any of the videos.
00:27:05.000We have sovereign immunity from being asked questions about documents.
00:27:11.000And even if you could sue us, these documents aren't public records because, in part, the public isn't really interested in getting this.
00:27:19.000There's no public interest in getting it.
00:27:22.000So you have Hillary, you have Pelosi's Congress trying to jail individuals for citing privilege and refusing to cooperate with her while they're citing privilege and refusing to turn over one second of any video about January 6th.
00:28:20.000I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of Second Vote.
00:28:22.000We've had uniquely American common sense since 1776, but now we're in the age of common nonsense.
00:28:29.000Today's nonsense comes in the form of calls for gun control.
00:28:32.000What happened in Uvalde was an unimaginable tragedy.
00:28:35.000And we know how the left never lets a tragedy go to waste.
00:28:38.000They want to strip you of your Second Amendment rights.
00:28:41.000But this isn't just an attack on your rights.
00:28:43.000It's part of a bigger assault on the American family.
00:28:46.000When the left attacks your rights to keep and bear arms, they're attacking your right to defend your family.
00:28:52.000And while the woke companies say they care about children, they're giving the hard-earned dollars you spend with them to the abortion industry.
00:28:59.000Companies like Dick Sporting Goods and Target call for gun control in the name of protecting children, but then immediately donate to Planned Parenthood.
00:29:06.000Pizza Hut markets itself as a family-friendly restaurant, but then spreads gender confusion to third graders through book programs about drag kids.
00:29:14.000And the Disney Corporation makes children's entertainment while fighting against laws designed to protect children from being taught about sex.
00:29:21.000The left loves to use the phrase, enough is enough, when they want to pass laws and grow big government.
00:29:27.000But it's conservatives who've really had enough of their nonsense.
00:29:31.000At Second Vote, we do the research to expose big corporation politics by scoring hundreds of companies on traditional American values.

00:30:11.000About a month ago, I was in Indiana, and it was a day or two after the horrific and unspeakable tragedy of Uvalde.
00:30:21.000Now, when that tragedy happened, I began to read police reports, and I began to read some of the public information available, and something did not add up.
00:30:31.000Now, we had a good amount of information at the time, and I was, amongst others, curious as to why there was an hour interval between the police arriving and the gunmen being neutralized, also known as killed.
00:30:49.000And we took a very firm stance that day.
00:30:54.000Now, I want to thank those of you in our audience that came to our defense.
00:30:59.000I came out very plainly and said for the police officers that did nothing for well over an hour, they are cowards.
00:31:06.000We received good feedback, but I have to say, in my short time of doing this, in my 10 years of activism, I have never received such nasty, terrible, personal emails in my life as to when I called a group of people that listened and watched the slaughter of children and did nothing for well over an hour, cowards.
00:31:31.000I don't really care, but it's just interesting that you are not even allowed to say anything remotely critical of police officers in today's time.
00:31:41.000Put these images up on screen, please.
00:31:43.000Well, the recent revelations, unfortunately, and I wish I was wrong.
00:31:50.000I wish the police did everything they could.
00:31:52.000New images show police officers had long guns and they had blast shields that very well could have given them the ability to go in and stop the shooter.
00:32:05.000New report shows that police could have stopped Uvalde's shooter shortly after he entered the school.
00:32:13.000The officers had body armor and the children had none.
00:32:16.000But the police officers, mainly Uvalde police chief by the name of Pete Arendondo, decided to issue a stand down order and the police officers were too busy arresting parents and they stood there for nearly one hour.
00:32:33.000There is a picture of police officers with long guns and with, I think, is blast shield the technical term there?
00:32:46.000They didn't have the proper equipment for a while, but for one hour, they stood there and did nothing.
00:32:53.000According to new reports, they could have neutralized this shooter within minutes, potentially saving lives.
00:33:00.000And now Uvalde has hired a private law firm to block the footage and the audio from the school shooting from being released, saying that it could include highly embarrassing information.
00:33:12.000Well, yeah, it reveals highly embarrassing information.
00:33:16.000Unfortunately and tragically, these police officers stood there and did nothing.
00:33:21.000Now they were told and they gave a stand down order.
00:33:24.000Now we said that these people were cowards back then and we had limited evidence, but we did it based on the evidence we had available.
00:34:29.000You're accusing me of being sympathetic to BLM.
00:34:32.000Like, do maybe 10 seconds of research about my commentary the last couple years before you even put BLM and Charlie Kirk in the same sentence.
