00:00:34.000 Here we go.

00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:39.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:48.000 His spirit is love of this country.

00:00:50.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:56.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:05.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:08.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:13.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:20.000 Joining us now is someone who I believe is going to be the next governor of Michigan.

00:01:24.000 She has run an amazing race, and people thought she had no chance whatsoever.

00:01:29.000 And she is right within the margin of error, and no matter which way you look at it, Tudor Dixon joins us right now.

00:01:35.000 Tudor, welcome back to the program.

00:01:37.000 Thank you for having me.

00:01:38.000 Tudor, how's the race going?

00:01:39.000 It looks like you got a lot of momentum.

00:01:41.000 It's going great.

00:01:42.000 We had a debate the other night and we were able to hold her accountable for a lot of the things that she's done in the state.

00:01:47.000 Although she tried to convince people that she hadn't done any of those things, which I think actually helped us even more.

00:01:53.000 We talked about the schools during the debate and she came out and said the schools were only closed for three months.

00:01:59.000 Let me tell you, in Michigan, we had schools closed into 2022.

00:02:04.000 We had schools closed earlier this year in Ann Arbor, in Detroit, in Flint.

00:02:10.000 Schools were still closed.

00:02:11.000 And she tried to tell people schools were only closed for three months. 0.98

00:02:14.000 I think it's just made people even more angry that she won't admit to what she's done to our state.

00:02:19.000 Yeah, and I mean, she's, I mean, Whitmer has, more than almost any other governor in America, been so arrogant and been such a leading voice of this lockdown travesty.

00:02:29.000 Let's play Cut 124.

00:02:31.000 This is a mashup of you just handling all the different questions from reporters.

00:02:35.000 Play cut 124.

00:02:37.000 What would have to happen with the Secretary of State for you not to accept those results? 1.00

00:02:41.000 If she runs an illegal election, again, that would be a problem. 0.66

00:02:43.000 I'm hoping that she won't do that. 0.73

00:02:45.000 But as governor, what would you have done for school districts?

00:02:48.000 Their school boards decided we are going to remain in a virtual posture instead of going in person.

00:02:53.000 What could you have done?

00:02:54.000 What would you have done?

00:02:55.000 Well, if we saw other states like Florida that said we are going to have schools in person, that that's critical.

00:03:00.000 And that's what we should have done in the state of Michigan.

00:03:02.000 I was wondering if you could clarify what content you would want removed from public school curricula and how that would impact sex education.

00:03:08.000 If you've been talking to parents, they are concerned about the content that is pornographic in our schools.

00:03:15.000 Tudor, you're handling them like a masterclass.

00:03:17.000 Does Whitmer take questions like that?

00:03:19.000 She's very rarely taking questions.

00:03:22.000 I will tell you, she did take questions after the debate.

00:03:25.000 In fact, she had about four elected officials there with her, I think, trying to make sure people said at the end of the day that she won.

00:03:34.000 But I don't think that's helping her.

00:03:36.000 People were pretty shocked with her. 0.99

00:03:37.000 I think arrogance, your term arrogance is probably the best way to describe the way she acted in the debate.

00:03:44.000 And people are looking for someone who's going to understand, who's going to empathize with what they went through and going to try to bring the state back.

00:03:51.000 And she has had plenty of opportunities to do so.

00:03:53.000 She's had opportunities to put money back into the pockets of people.

00:03:56.000 She's had opportunities to pass a reading scholarships bill to get the kids back on track.

00:04:01.000 Charlie, our schools are in such bad shape right now that the recent NAPE scores just showed that Michigan is in the bottom 10 in the nation.

00:04:08.000 For fourth and eighth graders, reading and math, we are failing our kids.

00:04:13.000 But our spring scores came back for reading scores for third graders.

00:04:17.000 And 60%, nearly 60% of our third graders across the state failed their reading exams.

00:04:23.000 This is absolutely catastrophic.

00:04:25.000 And she's not saying she's going to do anything about it.

00:04:28.000 Then I don't know if you saw this, but last night Stephen Colbert is making fun of the fact that we're talking about books in schools that are pornographic and saying that this is never, this is not really happening.

00:04:38.000 Keep doing it.

00:04:38.000 I love it.

00:04:39.000 I would love for the leftist media to continue to make a mockery out of parents' concerns in the classroom and say that this is no big deal because we have people rising up across the state of Michigan and saying our kids can't read, but they're getting books on how to have sex.

00:04:54.000 Let's go back to the basics of teaching kids reading, writing, and math.

00:04:58.000 And this is not a radical discussion to go back to the basics and actually teach kids to read.

00:05:03.000 In fact, Charlie, if our kids knew how to read, we would have a much better state overall because our kids would be succeeding in life, but we're robbing them of an education and the Democrats laugh.

00:05:14.000 That's great.

00:05:15.000 That sounds like, I mean, look, Stephen Colbert is a very evil person and he's become very smug and really self-righteous.

00:05:23.000 And he should go.

00:05:24.000 I mean, but I don't know if he has children or not. 0.99

00:05:26.000 I don't know about his own personal biography, but there are multiple examples of pornography of gay people having sex for eight-year-olds that have to read this. 0.91

00:05:38.000 I mean, just so, and graphic, not just talked about, but images of it, one after the other, after the other, after the other.

00:05:45.000 And I mean, you have this one book, for example, Gender Queer, where if we showed this up on screen, we would get fined by our TV partners, just so we're clear. 0.96

00:05:54.000 And it shows two men having oral sex together. 0.98

00:05:56.000 Maybe Stephen Colbert should talk about that. 0.90

00:05:59.000 Or how about this one from Christopher Rufo, which is, which really sparked the protests in Dearborn, Michigan, which is, quote, this is for eight and nine year olds.

00:06:11.000 I can't even say it on air.

00:06:12.000 If I said this, it would make people like out of control.

00:06:15.000 Talk about what's happening in Dearborn.

00:06:16.000 Very interesting.

00:06:17.000 You got the Muslim community rising up.

00:06:19.000 Are Democrats taking them for granted?

00:06:22.000 Absolutely.

00:06:23.000 So I love that you brought up Dearborn because the book that you're talking about, it's written in childlike language.

00:06:30.000 That's the most disturbing part about it.

00:06:32.000 It's talking about how to have all kinds of different sexual experiences in childlike language.

00:06:38.000 So it's very, very disturbing.

00:06:39.000 And that's what set off the parents in Dearborn, Michigan.

00:06:42.000 So Dearborn, Michigan has historically been a heavily Democrat area that has a strong Muslim population.

00:06:50.000 And I had one of the gentlemen from the Dearborn community come to one of our events the other night.

00:06:56.000 And he said, he stopped me and he said, we found this stuff in our schools and I was so upset about my children.

00:07:01.000 He said, to be honest with you, no matter what happens, whether it's inflation or whatever is on the ballot, at the end of the day, the most important thing is always going to be my children to me.

00:07:11.000 He says, so I went to our Democrat elected officials.

00:07:14.000 And the reason he went to the elected officials is because he was actually running for office as a Democrat.

00:07:21.000 He said, I went to them and I said, you got to help me with this stuff in our schools.

00:07:24.000 We got to get it out.

00:07:25.000 He said, they turned around and called me a bigot and a racist.

00:07:28.000 He said, I'm done.

00:07:29.000 I'll never vote Democratic.

00:07:31.000 Good.

00:07:31.000 I will, I know.

00:07:32.000 He said, I will support the Republicans and I will get as many people in our community as possible to support the Republicans because my kids come first.

00:07:41.000 And I think that's the part that they are taking for granted is that for parents, your kids are always going to come first.

00:07:47.000 That's going to be your major concern.

00:07:48.000 And they're laughing at parents.

00:07:50.000 They're just making a mockery out of this.

00:07:52.000 Yes, they are.

00:07:53.000 And by the way, it's so interesting how they are condescendingly talking to these Muslim families. 1.00

00:07:58.000 And I think they're going to be in for a reckoning, Tudor.

00:08:01.000 I really do.

00:08:02.000 I think that, look, obviously, I have religious differences personally with Muslims, but if they're going to fight side by side with us against pornography in our schools, I mean, let's go. 0.97

00:08:11.000 That's great.

00:08:12.000 I mean, this is an issue that impacts everybody. 0.99

00:08:15.000 And the left, they are so arrogant. 0.93

00:08:17.000 And I keep on using that word. 0.98

00:08:18.000 And they are just so focused on the perversion of our children.

00:08:22.000 I think it's a massive winning issue.

00:08:24.000 And so, so, Tudor, how could people help you?

00:08:26.000 We're in kind of this final stretch.

00:08:28.000 Whitmer is very nervous.

00:08:29.000 She's calling in the big guns.

00:08:30.000 I wouldn't be surprised if she asked Fauci to come stump for her very soon because they're very close.

00:08:37.000 How could we help?

00:08:38.000 Barack Obama is coming in on Saturday.

00:08:40.000 So you know they're trying to get the base out, but they are bringing in a lot of money.

00:08:44.000 So anything can help us.

00:08:45.000 If you go to tutordixon.com, if you have $10, $20, please donate to tutordixon.com because we don't want Gretchen Whitmer to go to higher office.

00:08:54.000 We don't want them to continue to laugh about parents' issues.

00:08:58.000 And I think it's interesting that you bring up the issue with the Muslim community because I, as governor, I would be here to represent everyone.

00:09:05.000 And their small businesses have been shut down.

00:09:08.000 Their kids have been getting pornographic information in school.

00:09:11.000 We are here to represent them and make sure that we take care of parents and business owners and farmers, whoever it is.

00:09:19.000 They should be able to achieve the American dream in the state of Michigan and educate their children.

00:09:23.000 It's tutordixon.com.

00:09:25.000 I think Tudor could be a total rock star for the Republican Party and for the conservative movement.

00:09:30.000 Michigan is a great state.

00:09:31.000 Michigan has a great track record of electing Republicans for governor, even though it's a very tricky state in some ways.

00:09:38.000 It's not a blue state, though.

00:09:39.000 It's not even a purpose state.

00:09:41.000 We haven't had a red legislature for 20 years.

00:09:43.000 We go back and forth on governor, but it's time for us to go back to a Republican governor.

00:09:48.000 I love it.

00:09:48.000 Gretchen Whitmer has got to go.

00:09:49.000 Tudor, keep campaigning hard.

00:09:50.000 We're 100% behind you.

00:09:52.000 That's tutordixon.com.

00:09:53.000 Tudor, I think, is going to surprise a lot of people on election night.

00:09:56.000 Thank you, Tudor, so much.

00:09:57.000 Thank you.

00:10:01.000 Look, in the good old days, we Americans argued about which policies to pursue to improve this beautiful country.

00:10:07.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:08.000 Too often, we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.

00:10:15.000 The reason for this is simple.

00:10:17.000 For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.

00:10:28.000 Hillsdale College is winging in for America, the wonderful Hillsdale College, by offering a free online course, such as The Great American Story, A Land of Hope, Constitution 101, The Meaning of History of the Constitution.

00:10:40.000 As we get closer to Constitution Day, September 17th, I encourage all of you to enroll in one of these wonderful free courses from Hillsdale.

00:10:47.000 And even better, encourage your friends and family to sign up too.

00:10:50.000 Begin your Hillsdale course today at charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:10:53.000 That is charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:10:55.000 Check it out, charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:00.000 Oh, by the way, we also have an impending diesel shortage.

00:11:04.000 U.S. diesel shortage increasingly likely until economy slows.

00:11:10.000 As if the economy hasn't slowed Reuters is such a dishonest paper.

00:11:14.000 What has happened to all these places?

00:11:15.000 There is a question I had, which is, does the media have any self-awareness of how much we hate them?

00:11:23.000 And I don't think they do.

00:11:24.000 I don't think they care. 0.96

00:11:25.000 They are so awful, these reporters.

00:11:28.000 They have done such damage to our country, I could tell you. 0.85

00:11:32.000 It is unbelievable how much damage reporters have done to America.

00:11:35.000 They are so dishonest.

00:11:37.000 Anyway, I want to get to the story here.

00:11:39.000 Of course, the media won't cover this very much.

00:11:41.000 Now, remember, the turtle is spending a lot of money in Alaska.

00:11:46.000 I actually did an amazing event yesterday, a Zoom event with the, I think I want to get the name right, Anchorage Baptist Church or the Anchorage Baptist Temple, I think.

00:11:57.000 I'll get it right.

00:11:58.000 A really great organization, Jerry Prevost Church.

00:12:01.000 And really impressed with them.

00:12:03.000 And we had a Zoom event, and they asked me my thoughts on Lisa Murkowski, and I let it rip.

00:12:08.000 I know we have a lot of Alaska watchers, a lot of Alaska viewers, I should say, and listeners.

00:12:12.000 We're live on radio in Alaska, actually.

00:12:14.000 Very honored and touched by that.

00:12:16.000 I love Alaska, one of my favorite places on the planet.

00:12:17.000 So anyway, the Turtle is spending a lot of money in Alaska, $9 million.

00:12:23.000 And this story has just come out about how over 400 government officials allegedly have engaged in COVID-19 insider trading.

00:12:33.000 So while you have been getting poorer despite working harder, your leaders are getting very, very rich.

00:12:40.000 Play cut 116.

00:12:43.000 It's now been learned that some 400 officials traded stocks at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic with the accuracy of a Wall Street pro.

00:12:52.000 Recent documents reveal that if the NIH top administration officials traded stocks to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, what experts are saying is the timing here was exquisite, especially in regard to top administration officials like Elaine Chow and her husband, Mitch McConnell, who traded some $600,000 in stocks that they knew companies in the United States would be benefiting from because of the billions that would be invested to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:13:20.000 Oh, no, but instead we get Department of Justice raids on Donald Trump's home and we get raids of pro-life activists that pray outside of abortion clinics.

00:13:30.000 But the people that then create public policy for our country are then able to trade stocks in correlation with that.

00:13:39.000 You want to know why people hate politicians?

00:13:42.000 It's because of nonsense like this. 0.52

00:13:45.000 And then McConnell is spending $9 million on the fraud uniparty mascot of Lisa Murkowski.

00:13:56.000 That should anger you at a deeply fundamental level.

00:14:00.000 It should be illegal for Congress people to do any investing like any of this.

00:14:04.000 Illegal for them to trade stocks.

00:14:07.000 And how is it that you could sit on committees and design policy based on stocks that you are?

00:14:13.000 How is that not flagrantly insider trading?

00:14:17.000 Business insider, 72 members of Congress have violated a law designed to prevent insider trading and stop conflict of interest.

00:14:23.000 They break the law all the time.

00:14:26.000 But Congress people are more important than you are.

00:14:28.000 But if you're a pro-life leader that has sung a hymn outside of a clinic, they're going to come raid your family.

00:14:35.000 If you're James O'Keefe, we're raiding you.

00:14:37.000 Ruda Giuliani, we're raiding you.

00:14:38.000 Steve Bannon, we're going to throw you in prison.

00:14:40.000 Peter Navarro, we're throwing you in prison.

00:14:43.000 But if you're a member of Congress, we're going to protect you.

00:14:47.000 We're going to allow you to get endlessly rich.

00:14:52.000 I want to tell you about one of the most important organizations in the country, created by co-founder of the Home Depot, Bernie Marcus.

00:14:58.000 The folks at Job Creators Network defend and advance policies that help small business owners across America grow their business.

00:15:05.000 We talk a lot about labor in the media, and we're always respondering to the complaints of labor.

00:15:11.000 And that's fine.

00:15:11.000 Obviously, it's important.

00:15:12.000 But who actually creates the jobs that labor actually is able to enjoy?

00:15:17.000 Big business has their lobbyists, but small ones don't always have the time or money to defend themselves against the forces of global corporations and their crony capitalist pals in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Job Creators Network, that's right, Job Creators Network, fights for small business owners across America, and they're looking for a few good men and women to join their growing army of small business advocates.

00:15:39.000 They'll train you to be the face and voice of Main Street in your communities and beyond.

00:15:46.000 That is jobcreatorsnetwork.com.

00:15:49.000 Small business is the heartbeat, the backbone, the lifeblood of our economy and the American dream.

00:16:08.000 That is jobcreatorsnetwork.com.

00:16:14.000 Joining us now is Alfredo Ortiz from jobcreatorsnetwork.com, also the greatopportunityproject.com.

00:16:23.000 And Alfredo does such a great job.

00:16:25.000 I just saw Alfredo this last weekend.

00:16:27.000 Alfredo, how is your mouth doing?

00:16:29.000 I know you just had dental surgery.

00:16:30.000 That's the most important question.

00:16:32.000 Hey, Charlie, it's hanging in there.

00:16:35.000 It's still hurting a bit.

00:16:37.000 So I apologize for that, but hopefully you can hear me loud and clear.

00:16:41.000 I can very well.

00:16:42.000 So look, last week, Biden tried to make the case for his bribe, otherwise known as the student loan bailout, by comparing it to PPP.

00:16:52.000 JCN was actively involved in PPP.

00:16:54.000 How is your lawsuit bailout going?

00:16:57.000 And what do you make of this Biden comparison?

00:17:00.000 Well, first of all, we are feeling great about the actual lawsuit.

00:17:06.000 We had our hearing on Tuesday, and so we are anxiously awaiting for the outcome of that hearing.

00:17:13.000 It could come at any moment now.

00:17:16.000 But we feel very good about the odds.

00:17:18.000 We feel good about standing, and we feel good about where we're going to come out on this one.

00:17:23.000 I'm sure that the administration is going to appeal it should it come out in favor of us.

00:17:29.000 But at least hopefully we'll stop this madness before it gets out of control.

00:17:35.000 But as soon as I hear something, Charlie, I'll let you know.

00:17:40.000 Well, yeah.

00:17:40.000 So last week, from what I understand, is you placed a new billboard blasting Biden over his comment when he said the economy is strong as hell.

00:17:47.000 Tell us about that billboard and why is that comment so misleading?

00:17:52.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:17:53.000 I mean, he said the economy is strong as hell.

00:17:55.000 And you and I both know, I mean, Charlie, I mean, you're at the grocery stores, you're out talking to people day in and day out like we are.

00:18:02.000 The economy is not strong as hell.

00:18:04.000 I know the GDP showed today, the first estimate, that it was up, you know, like 2.6%.

00:18:10.000 But that was all pretty much because of trade exports.

00:18:13.000 It doesn't really talk to the domestic economy in any way, shape, or form.

00:18:17.000 And you and I both know that Americans are hurting day in and day out right now.

00:18:22.000 I mean, inflation is sky high.

00:18:24.000 I mean, our small business owners, restaurateurs, for example, they are dying.

00:18:29.000 I mean, many of these are barely breaking even, or most of them are losing money.

00:18:33.000 I mean, I talked to a small business owner this morning, and she said her box of lettuce, and she owns a sub-shop, went from $20 a box to $90 a box in the past two weeks.

00:18:46.000 I mean, these kinds of increases are killing our small business owners, and really it's killing the American Americans across the country.

00:18:54.000 And wait till the heating oil really, really takes ground in the fourth quarter as the temperatures rise.

00:19:00.000 I mean, 60, 70% increases, Charlie.

00:19:03.000 I mean, this is going to be a disaster.

00:19:05.000 And so I don't take any solace in the number that came out today.

00:19:09.000 Yeah, I mean, and people are just getting crushed, right?

00:19:10.000 I mean, across the board.

00:19:12.000 And it is economic conditions, the likes of which we have not seen in quite some time.

00:19:18.000 And I'm very afraid that if we're not going to make some serious changes, we're not going to be able to fix it.

00:19:22.000 Let's play cut 120, 114.

00:19:24.000 Fox Business Dagon McDowell.

00:19:26.000 Dagon is great.

00:19:27.000 Play cut 114.

00:19:28.000 The consumer and the corporate sector are barely growing here. 0.98

00:19:33.000 And Cheryl pointed this out.

00:19:35.000 Core capital goods orders fell seven-tenths of 1% month over month.

00:19:41.000 Is very negative for the economic outlook moving ahead.

00:19:46.000 Longer-term interest rates coming back down and shorter-term interest rates staying elevated.

00:19:50.000 That might be an indication that once again, investors are betting that there's a recession.

00:19:56.000 People are betting that there's a recession.

00:19:57.000 Alfredo, do you think we're already in the midst of a recession?

00:20:00.000 Charlie, 100%.

00:20:02.000 I mean, we are definitely in the middle of a recession.

00:20:05.000 Quite frankly, I think we're in the middle of stagflation.

00:20:08.000 And I know that Biden didn't want to use that word recession, so I keep throwing the word stagflation at him because that's where we're in.

00:20:14.000 And as we see interest rates today, for the first time in over 20 years, mortgage rates hit above 7%, Charlie.

00:20:21.000 I mean, this is really, really hurting consumers.

00:20:24.000 And by the way, the consumer spending that we are seeing right now, it's on credit card debt.

00:20:29.000 I look at the credit card debt.

00:20:31.000 It is rising exponentially, and savings rates are at the lowest levels they have been even pre-pandemic.

00:20:37.000 They went from 8% pre-pandemic to now 4%.

00:20:41.000 They were up at 31% during the pandemic, which means that all those trillions of dollars that we shoved out there really weren't needed.

00:20:48.000 And we always were saying that.

00:20:50.000 But now it's gone down to 4% and credit card rate is doubling.

00:20:53.000 It's up at 14% increase.

00:20:56.000 I mean, so now people are living paycheck to paycheck and barely getting by and using this credit card.

00:21:02.000 Unfortunately, they got on this drug of government money, right?

00:21:07.000 And they got used to spending the money.

00:21:09.000 So they're trying to keep up that lifestyle, but they can't afford it.

00:21:13.000 So what do you think the actual inflation rate is?

00:21:15.000 I think it's a lot higher than what the government's reporting.

00:21:18.000 I think the government is misleading us.

00:21:19.000 What are your thoughts?

00:21:21.000 Yeah, 100%.

00:21:23.000 It's well above 11% is what I'm thinking.

00:21:27.000 I mean, when you see the rates that are happening day in and day out across the board, I mean, you go to your grocery store, Charlie, I'm sure you're seeing this.

00:21:36.000 I mean, the other day, I walked out with two, I'm not kidding, two small bags, and it was $75.

00:21:42.000 And I wasn't buying, you know, anything that was, you know, branded products.

00:21:47.000 I mean, these are all private label products.

00:21:48.000 I mean, the costs are astronomical.

00:21:51.000 Eggs, bread, milk, cheese, I mean, you name it.

00:21:54.000 It's going up.

00:21:55.000 I mean, these consumers, American consumers are getting hit every day now, and it's going to get worse, unfortunately.

00:22:03.000 And then, honestly, Charlie, wait till next year because we had a major problem on grain supply.

00:22:11.000 A lot of planters in Ukraine, where we get about 40% of our grain supply, they didn't plant.

00:22:17.000 And here in America, fertilizer was up so high, Charlie, that they didn't plant either.

00:22:23.000 And so we're going to have a big grain shortage come next year.

00:22:26.000 I'm afraid you're right.

00:22:28.000 I mean, it is all these different ramifications that are hitting at once.

00:22:31.000 Okay, let's play another piece of tape here.

00:22:34.000 Let's go to this one, Nancy Pelosi talking about inflation.

00:22:39.000 She says we just need to change the topic.

00:22:41.000 Play cut four.

00:22:43.000 The fact is, is that when I hear people talk about inflation, as I heard them there, we have to change that subject.

00:22:50.000 Inflation is a global phenomenon.

00:22:53.000 It's not, the fight is not about inflation.

00:22:56.000 It's about the cost of living.

00:22:58.000 Oh, yeah.

00:22:59.000 Are those things separate, Alfredo?

00:23:01.000 Oh, my God.

00:23:03.000 I mean, that just shows how clueless it is.

00:23:05.000 I mean, how she can separate inflation and the cost of living. 1.00

00:23:10.000 I mean, she should look at what the Social Security Administration did. 0.92

00:23:13.000 I think they just passed an 8.5% cost of living adjustment.

00:23:18.000 I mean, 8.5% from the Social Security Administration.

00:23:21.000 I mean, they see it.

00:23:22.000 They know what's happening.

00:23:24.000 She doesn't see it.

00:23:25.000 I mean, come on.

00:23:26.000 I mean, she is so out of touch.

00:23:27.000 I mean, with her, we're $40 a pint, whatever I think, ice cream that she loves eating.

00:23:32.000 I mean, of course she's not feeling any of this impact.

00:23:35.000 But every day, Americans are working two jobs, three jobs down to make ends meet. 0.87

00:23:39.000 I mean, this is absolutely ridiculous.

00:23:41.000 And the fact that she says, let's just change the conversation. 0.94

00:23:45.000 Let's change the topic.

00:23:46.000 It's a global phenomenon.

00:23:47.000 Well, you know what?

00:23:48.000 It is a global phenomenon, but mostly it started with the fateful decision that Biden did on the first day of his administration, which is declaring the war on domestic fossil production.

00:24:01.000 That's right.

00:24:03.000 It started with that because Charlie, he destabilized the global energy market by doing that.

00:24:09.000 And Putin took advantage of it.

00:24:10.000 And Putin went forward with his attack on the Ukraine because he knew that he had the upper hand on the rest of Europe because of what Biden did.

00:24:20.000 It is remarkable.

00:24:21.000 Let's play another piece of tape here.

00:24:22.000 Ron Klain trying to tell us things are actually great.

00:24:24.000 Play cut 113.

00:24:28.000 I know some of the polling about the economy, I think, is also out of date since some of those polls were taken.

00:24:33.000 Again, the price of gas has come down dramatically.

00:24:36.000 We're seeing economic growth.

00:24:37.000 We're seeing prices come down.

00:24:39.000 We're seeing real income go up.

00:24:41.000 So I think we have to bring up to date the narrative to where it is today.

00:24:46.000 Are things really getting better?

00:24:48.000 Minute remaining, Alfredo.

00:24:49.000 What is he talking about?

00:24:50.000 Real income going up.

00:24:51.000 It's still negative.

00:24:52.000 You have 8.5% inflation and you only have wages going up 5.5%.

00:24:56.000 That's to me is simple math.

00:24:57.000 It's called negative 3% real wage decrease.

00:25:01.000 I mean, this guy, I mean, the way they love gaslighting the American public, they should be ashamed of themselves.

00:25:07.000 I mean, the only thing that they should be winning is awards for fiction because it is the best fiction writing that I've ever seen, Charlie.

00:25:15.000 Yeah, that's well said.

00:25:16.000 Alfredo, tell our audience again about the website, how people can support your great organization.

00:25:21.000 Yeah, that'd be great.

00:25:22.000 It's joinjcn.com.

00:25:24.000 And if they want a little bit more information about the organization, it's jobcreatorsnetwork.com.

00:25:30.000 That's jobcreatorsnetwork.com.

00:25:32.000 Yeah, so check out joinjcn.com.

00:25:35.000 Alfredo, thank you for partnering on our program.

00:25:37.000 You do such a great job.

00:25:38.000 We really appreciate it.

00:25:40.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:25:40.000 Have a great one.

00:25:41.000 Yep.

00:25:41.000 Thank you.

00:25:45.000 One of my biggest just irritants is code switching.

00:25:53.000 If I did it, I would be mocked by the media and attacked all the time.

00:25:59.000 Code switching, otherwise known as pandering or cultural appropriation, is done by Democrats all the time.

00:26:08.000 So this is when Democrats go into in front of different audiences and just change the slang, the accent of which they communicate with.

00:26:18.000 Hillary Clinton did all the time. 0.71

00:26:19.000 She's talking jive around black audiences. 0.94

00:26:22.000 AOC does it all the time. 0.98

00:26:24.000 AOC is probably one of the worst offenders.

00:26:26.000 So AOC goes to the Conman's convention.

00:26:30.000 I think it's at the National Action Network, which is run by the Rev, Al Sharpton.

00:26:34.000 I'm going to talk about Raphael Warnock in a second, by the way.

00:26:37.000 It's a point I wanted to make.

00:26:40.000 And it's actually a connection to Al Sharpton, who's equally morally degenerate.

00:26:45.000 Play cut nine, AOC, Alexander Casio-Cortez, in a southern accent.

00:26:50.000 How do they get away with this?

00:26:52.000 By the way, Maya Flores in the Rio Grande Valley, strong conservative, is more popular among Hispanics than Cortez. 0.98

00:27:02.000 Play cut nine.

00:27:03.000 I'm proud to be a bartender.

00:27:07.000 Ain't nothing wrong with that.

00:27:09.000 There's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other people to buy.

00:27:15.000 There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat.

00:27:22.000 There's nothing wrong about proving food that your neighbor's going to eat.

00:27:26.000 You really talk like that?

00:27:27.000 No, you don't, actually. 0.61

00:27:29.000 You're pandering dimwit code switching. 0.70

00:27:35.000 And the audience, it should just be so offended. 1.00

00:27:39.000 Come on, girl. 0.89

00:27:41.000 Just talk like a normal person.

00:27:43.000 It's one of the things I love about Trump.

00:27:45.000 He never pandered to anybody.

00:27:48.000 He would always wear the same suit and tie.

00:27:51.000 I always, one of my favorite things ever that I saw, I went to the Iowa State Fair very early on in the summer of 2015 after Trump announces, and it's like 102 degrees outside, and it's the Iowa.

00:28:01.000 And Donald Trump comes and he's giving kids helicopter rides in his helicopter.

00:28:06.000 And it's blistering hot, and all the other candidates, you know, Marco and John Kasich, they're doing like the politician thing where they roll up their sleeves and they pretend that they're one of the people and they're wearing like the untucked farmer shirt with the jeans and the whole thing.

00:28:22.000 And Donald Trump is wearing an all-black suit with a red tie.

00:28:25.000 It's like the guy doesn't change.

00:28:27.000 There is zero pandering.

00:28:29.000 In the middle of Iowa, he looks like he's ready to close a real estate deal.

00:28:34.000 And so I do want to close on one thing.

00:28:36.000 So that was Reverend Al Sharpton's event, I believe.

00:28:37.000 I think that looks like the logo of the National Action Network, which is Al Sharpton Steel.

00:28:42.000 And it does remind me of Raphael Warnock.

00:28:44.000 And I have not spent enough time on Raphael Warnock.

00:28:47.000 And so if you read the Ten Commandments, one of the Ten Commandments is, Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain.

00:28:54.000 But if you go back to the original Hebrew, it actually says, Thou shalt not carry the Lord's name in vain.

00:29:00.000 Otherwise, said you should not do evil in the name of the Lord.

00:29:04.000 You should not say that this is the Lord's wish or the Lord's doing.

00:29:08.000 For example, performing abortions in the name of the Lord, things like that.

00:29:13.000 Raphael Warnock is a daily violator of thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain.

00:29:20.000 He runs as a reverend, yet every policy position that he espouses and that he articulates is directly contradictory to that of the natural law and God's wishes for us to flourish and to preserve those that can't preserve the good, the true, the beautiful, and protect those that can't protect themselves.

00:29:37.000 Raphael Warnock is carrying, if you will, the name of the Lord to try and say that, well, it's God's wish that we should be able to terminate pregnancy all up until the time of birth.

00:29:47.000 And Herschel Walker is under a relentless character assassination attack.

00:29:51.000 And we got to continue to have Herschel Walker's back.

00:29:54.000 We got to continue to back him against Reverend Raphael Warnock, who claims to be a pastor and yet supports the most insidious and toxic policies imaginable in the American body politic.

00:30:09.000 And this is happening right now unfolding in Georgia.

00:30:14.000 It's a very, very tight race.

00:30:15.000 And this is last week, we had T.D. Jakes, who calls himself a pastor, endorse Robert Francis O'Rourke.

00:30:23.000 That's right.

00:30:24.000 For all of you that might be T.D. Jakes fans out there, just let it be known that T.D. Jakes, the black Christian pastor, very well known.

00:30:32.000 Some people used to respect him, openly endorses Robert Francis O'Rourke for governor.

00:30:40.000 That's T.D. Jakes for you.

00:30:42.000 That is carrying the name of the Lord to do evil.

00:30:47.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
