00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
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.
00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:48.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:49.000 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 Noble Gold Investments is the official gold sponsor of the Charlie Kirk Show, a company that specializes in gold IRAs and physical delivery of precious metals.

00:01:29.000 Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:33.000 So we've been spending a lot of time on the Israel-Iran situation.
00:01:36.000 And you have to imagine actually that what we're seeing now in America's largest city actually might be a little bit related.
00:01:44.000 It might be a little bit of a political after-effect to what we've seen between Israel and Iran.
00:01:51.000 And it is potentially one of the most horrifying political issues that is happening in real time.
00:02:02.000 Allow me to introduce you to Zoran Komwami Mamdani, a Muslim candidate who is literally a communist running to become the next mayor of New York City.
00:02:16.000 The election is today.
00:02:18.000 Well, at least the Democrat primary is.
00:02:20.000 So the incumbent mayor is Eric Adams.
00:02:23.000 Eric Adams, who hasn't been a great mayor, but he hasn't been a terrible mayor.
00:02:27.000 You remember he was under indictment and then it got dropped.
00:02:30.000 He's running as an independent, so he's not participating in the Democrat primary.
00:02:35.000 This guy is a whole different genre of politics than we have seen.
00:02:42.000 He embodies the red-green axis with more tenacity and focus than anybody we have seen in quite some time.
00:02:54.000 Mamdani is a communist who is also a Muhammadan.
00:03:00.000 Now, as a Muhammadan, he has really kind of been given a free pass.
00:03:06.000 No one has really been able to ask questions about it because they say, oh, you're an Islamophobe.
00:03:10.000 But let's just take a step back here.
00:03:12.000 Imagine from the 35,000-foot view, if you are trying to continually have Muhammadism take over the West, wouldn't they love to have both London and New York, the two prior Anglo centers of financial markets and cultural influence now under Muhammadan rule?
00:03:33.000 We've been warning about the rise of Islam on the show to great amount of backlash.
00:03:38.000 We don't care.
00:03:38.000 That's what we do here.
00:03:39.000 And we said that Islam is not compatible with Western civilization.
00:03:43.000 Let me say it again.
00:03:44.000 Islam is not compatible with Western civilization.
00:03:48.000 And now you have Zoran Kuwami Mamdani is the leading candidate for the race.
00:03:55.000 And this kind of happened the last couple of days.
00:03:57.000 Kuoma was out polling him for the last couple of weeks.
00:04:01.000 And you have to wonder, is this kind of an after-effect of anti-Israel sentiment?
00:04:07.000 By the way, just so we're clear, the Kawami part of his name is because his communist professor dad gave him that name in honor of Kawami Nekrumah, a Marxist dictator in Ghana who completely ruined his country's economy and left it in poverty before getting overblown.
00:04:23.000 This guy is the embodiment of the worst possible elements of American politics.
00:04:31.000 You see, Mom Dani is not just your typical Democrat.
00:04:35.000 He's not just like Letitia James.
00:04:36.000 He's a whole level above that.
00:04:40.000 He wants to nationalize or at least, let's say, make the grocery stores public.
00:04:48.000 He literally wants to have grocery stores owned by the city government, public co-ops, as we call it, because Momdani wants to make breadlines great again.
00:04:59.000 Momdani wants to bring back the idea that you get a little coupon and the coupon is what you get to eat.
00:05:04.000 Everybody, this is not a drill.
00:05:05.000 This is America's largest city.
00:05:07.000 This is the biggest city in America.
00:05:13.000 Now, Mandani has largely been able to go under the surface.
00:05:17.000 It's kind of at a subterranean threat.
00:05:18.000 No one really took him seriously.
00:05:20.000 And mind you, he uses the word Zoron as if he's trying to be some sort of like Aladdin figure.
00:05:27.000 Yeah, I'm kind of like some Middle Eastern hero.
00:05:31.000 No, no, no.
00:05:33.000 You don't mess with Zoron is what they say.
00:05:35.000 No, no, no.
00:05:36.000 Instead, Momdani is like, well, that's a different type of name.
00:05:40.000 This is literally a video of Momdani saying that food costs too much and that we are going to have the government take over grocery stores.
00:05:51.000 Play cut 400.
00:05:52.000 Grocery prices are out of control.
00:05:54.000 The cost of eggs and milk has skyrocketed.
00:05:57.000 Dumb stores are even using dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day depending on what they can get away with.
00:06:02.000 It doesn't need to be this way.
00:06:04.000 I'm Zahran Mambani, and as mayor, I will create a network of city-owned grocery stores.
00:06:08.000 It's like a public option for produce.
00:06:11.000 We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging.
00:06:19.000 These stores will operate without a profit motive or having to pay property taxes or rent, and we'll pass on those savings to you.
00:06:26.000 Understand, the Muhammadans, they will not rest.
00:06:29.000 We as Westerners, we take Islam as kind of a innocent threat.
00:06:35.000 What if I told you that there is a Muslim mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, a Muslim mayor of the Rotterdam in Netherlands, major city, a Muslim mayor in Calgary in Canada, Nakhneed, Manshini, or in Prospect Park, New Jersey, or in the Brussels region of Belgium.
00:06:58.000 You see, Muhammadans, they only know how to conquer in politics.
00:07:05.000 New York has a very large Muslim community with an estimated 750,000 Muslims living in the city as of 2018.
00:07:15.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:07:16.000 By the time this show ends, another family farm will be shut down.
00:07:19.000 Not because they stopped working hard, but because the meat in your grocery store isn't coming from them anymore.
00:07:24.000 It's coming from overseas where safety standards are different and the quality is questionable.
00:07:28.000 That's why I buy all of my meat, goodranchers.com.
00:07:32.000 It doesn't just sell meat.
00:07:33.000 They guide you back to the source, to American ranchers, to real quality, to food you can actually trust.
00:07:39.000 Unlike imported meat, all Good Ranchers products are 100% boring, raised, and harvested in America from local family farms.
00:07:48.000 Now more than ever, you need to switch to Good Ranchers because Good Ranchers is tariff-proof due to their 100% American supply chain.
00:07:54.000 So while new tariffs make grocery store prices unpredictable, Good Ranchers stay consistent.
00:07:58.000 And if you subscribe to any Good Ranchers box today, you'll get your pick of free meat for life.
00:08:03.000 That's Wagu burgers, hot dogs, bacon, or chicken wings in every box for the lifetime for your subscription.
00:08:08.000 If you use my exclusive code Kirk a checkout, you'll get an extra $40 off your first box.
00:08:12.000 Goodranchers.com, American Meat Delivered.
00:08:18.000 Here is Zoran Mamdani, who legitimately is a communist.
00:08:22.000 That video you just saw is about confiscating the private property of grocery stores.
00:08:27.000 Oh, the government's going to take over the grocery stores.
00:08:30.000 He's vowed to take police away from high crime areas and send social workers instead.
00:08:35.000 Yeah, the gangbangers up in the Bronx, that's what they want.
00:08:40.000 They want a social worker.
00:08:42.000 This guy is a card-carrying Muslim Marxist.
00:08:47.000 He is the embodiment of everything we've been warning about, the red-green axis.
00:08:52.000 Play cut 402.
00:08:53.000 I absolutely think that what we need to do is give support and funding to institutions that are trained to deal with these kinds of issues.
00:09:02.000 As you said, if you're having an argument with someone and there's a risk of it escalating, who is better positioned to de-escalate it?
00:09:09.000 Someone who is well-known in the community or someone who has been trained specifically in de-escalation or a stranger who has a gun?
00:09:16.000 And I think that we need to say and ask ourselves, look at how policing is done in the suburbs in wealthier, wider America.
00:09:25.000 When people make mistakes, the answer is not to throw them in jail.
00:09:29.000 The answer is not to put them in a cage and throw away the key.
00:09:33.000 The answer is to try and find a non-carceral solution.
00:09:37.000 Absolutely.
00:09:37.000 Community service, something where they learn from their mistakes, there's a sense of accountability and growth, all these kinds of things, which for many people in this country, especially black people, are not offered the same opportunity.
00:09:51.000 This is pure oppressor-oppressed Marxist struggle dynamics.
00:09:56.000 The answer is criminals go to jail.
00:09:57.000 He is a classic doctrinaire Marxist.
00:10:01.000 And then you add the Muhammadism, which makes this even more of a lethal threat.
00:10:06.000 Everybody, John Lennon used to say that New York City was the center of the world.
00:10:13.000 This is not just some sort of random mayor's race in North Carolina.
00:10:19.000 Love North Carolina.
00:10:20.000 Or in Wisconsin.
00:10:21.000 This is the center of the world.
00:10:23.000 This is the pinnacle of our financial, cultural, and iconic American city.
00:10:32.000 Most people abroad, when they think of America, they'll think of New York City.
00:10:37.000 It's where our current president built the skyline.
00:10:41.000 And we're going to talk more about this after the break, but I want to leave you with a heavy and somber thought about this Mohammedism that is on pace to become the next mayor of New York City.
00:10:52.000 He makes Bill de Blasio look like a moderate.
00:10:57.000 Is that 24 years ago, two planes hit the World Trade Center.
00:11:07.000 And Mohammedism attacked America.
00:11:10.000 And now 24 years later, in the city where over 2,000 Americans died at the hands of Mohammedism, is Islam going to get the last laugh?
00:11:20.000 Who actually won if Mom Danny wins this mayor's race?
00:11:25.000 Because we imported well over 500,000 of them.
00:11:27.000 Now it's 750,000 of them in New York.
00:11:30.000 New York City, the city that got attacked by Islam and Mohammedism 24 years later, is flirting with a Muslim Marxist mayor.
00:11:39.000 Now you might say, oh, let New York do whatever New York's going to do.
00:11:41.000 It doesn't matter.
00:11:42.000 Everybody, first of all, this is part of our turf too.
00:11:45.000 It's still in the United States of America.
00:11:48.000 It's not some foreign land.
00:11:50.000 But understand, the biggest looming issue in front of us is Project 10 million.
00:11:56.000 Project 10 million is us removing 10 million illegal invaders in the interior of the United States.
00:12:03.000 We have to deport 10 million people in four years.
00:12:06.000 Minimum.
00:12:07.000 Be nice to get to 1520.
00:12:08.000 10 million is a realistic number.
00:12:11.000 We're probably around 1.3 or 1.4 right now, if you count self-deportations.
00:12:16.000 Big, beautiful bill will help.
00:12:18.000 But if that is the pace after six years, after six months, we're going to need more work to get done.
00:12:24.000 Now, mind you, if Mom Dani becomes the mayor of New York City, this is all part of a Democrat strategy to fortify the major cities against President Trump.
00:12:35.000 They want to fortify Los Angeles.
00:12:38.000 They want to fortify San Francisco, Chicago, and New York against any of the mass deportation effort.
00:12:47.000 And what's fascinating about who is actually supporting Mom Donny is that it's not the working class, not the muscular class, not the plumbers, not the electricians, not the guys that make New York work.
00:12:59.000 No, the People that are supporting Mom Donnie, Mom Donnie's biggest thrust of support is from who?
00:13:08.000 Is from people that have college degrees.
00:13:12.000 Andrew Cuomo, that's right.
00:13:13.000 We even covered this all.
00:13:14.000 Did you know Mom Donnie is running against Andrew Cuomo, the former disgraced governor of New York, who, by the way, would be like a moderate compared to Mom Donnie at this point.
00:13:24.000 Cuomo leads Mom Donnie among voters without a four-year college degree, 61% to 39%.
00:13:31.000 So Cuomo is kind of fitting that Trump working class mold.
00:13:36.000 But Mom Donnie leads Cuomo among college-educated voters, 62% to 38%.
00:13:46.000 And some of Mom Danny's support is coming from the Upper East Side.
00:13:50.000 It's coming from people that are very college-educated, very affluent, very secular.
00:13:57.000 Now, I'm not going to comment on this because I get attacked too much on this, but I am curious because I'm seeing more and more images of this of Jewish groups that are endorsing Mom Dani.
00:14:07.000 I'm not going to get involved in that.
00:14:09.000 If you guys want to go do that, you have the agency to do that.
00:14:12.000 I'll allow Josh Hammer to hit them at a different time on this program.
00:14:15.000 I'm literally not going to comment on it because everything gets spliced and taken out of context every time I even mention that topic.
00:14:22.000 So have fun.
00:14:24.000 Go at it.
00:14:26.000 Go vote for Mom Dani, Jewish Voice for Peace, or whatever organization that is.
00:14:34.000 YReFi.com, private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion.
00:14:38.000 WhyReFi has been an amazing partner of us, and it's only getting started.

00:15:36.000 That is yrefy.com.
00:15:41.000 But more broadly, if you live in New York City, do you want to vote for Muhammad Mao?
00:15:50.000 That's basically what it is.
00:15:51.000 You have Muhammad Mao as a blended political dynamic.
00:15:57.000 You see, we sent out a tweet the other day.
00:15:59.000 We said, you know that New York City is about to elect a Muslim socialist.
00:16:03.000 It went totally viral.
00:16:04.000 People said, what are you talking about?
00:16:05.000 No one's even heard of this guy.
00:16:07.000 His base of support are the people that have been educated to a place of stupidity.
00:16:11.000 I wrote the entire book, The College Scam, for a reason because I said the colleges are introducing idea toxins and philosophical pathogens that will deteriorate and will destabilize the United States of America.
00:16:24.000 His base are the people that have the most college degrees.
00:16:27.000 So basically the people that are the richest, the most sheltered, and the most out of touch with the everyday concerns.
00:16:35.000 Oh yeah, I earned $600,000 in New York.
00:16:38.000 Sure.
00:16:39.000 Nationalize the grocery stores.
00:16:41.000 They won't be nationalized.
00:16:43.000 Confiscate the grocery stores.
00:16:45.000 He supports ideas that have failed literally everywhere.
00:16:49.000 And everywhere they have been tried, but they come back because they're driven by resentment.
00:16:53.000 And then on top of it, you have white guilt.
00:16:55.000 Do not underestimate the white guilt element of Zoran Momdani.
00:16:59.000 You better believe that secular, miserable people throughout New York, they feel good voting for Momdani because they say, see, I'm not a racist.
00:17:12.000 He is the candidate for freaks who hate normal people and resentful immigrants who hate the West.
00:17:18.000 And we imported his base in New York City.
00:17:22.000 And if we are serious about taking back America and taking about Western civilization, if we are serious about the reclamation project in front of us, if we are serious about it, then Zoran Mamdani must be defeated.
00:17:40.000 How is a story like this possible?
00:17:42.000 In a city that was attacked and the towers fell.
00:17:45.000 Remember when there was all this outrage about whether or not they were going to be able to build a mosque at ground zero?
00:17:50.000 Do you remember that story like 20 years ago?
00:17:53.000 It was a national news story.
00:17:55.000 Forget a mosque.
00:17:57.000 You're going to get a mayor.
00:17:59.000 You're not just going to get like a singular place of religious gathering.
00:18:04.000 There will be a potential Muslim mayor of New York City, the largest city in America and one of the most important cities on the planet.
00:18:12.000 Civilization's on the line.
00:18:13.000 We'll keep our eyes very closely on this Democrat primary.
00:18:18.000 Joining us now is Senator Michael Lee.
00:18:20.000 Senator, thank you for taking the time.
00:18:22.000 Senator, you have a component of the Big Beautiful bill that is about federal lands.
00:18:27.000 There's been a lot of misinformation and propaganda about it.
00:18:30.000 I love what you're trying to do here.
00:18:32.000 And some people are against it because they're actually not understanding what it is.
00:18:36.000 And I would be against it if it's what they thought it was.
00:18:38.000 But Senator, what is in the bill and what are you trying to accomplish here?
00:18:42.000 The whole idea behind the need for what we're starting to call the Freedom Zone Housing Plan is that we've got a nationwide shortage of homes, particularly in the western United States.
00:18:56.000 And that's not acceptable in America.
00:18:58.000 Americans need and deserve the chance to buy a home.
00:19:02.000 Now, coincidentally, the U.S. government owns about 640 million acres of land, nearly a third of all land mass in the U.S. And a lot of that goes unused and mismanaged by the U.S. government.
00:19:16.000 The vast majority of it has zero recreational value.
00:19:19.000 A lot of it doesn't have any conservation value.
00:19:22.000 So what I'm proposing is that we take just a fraction, just a fraction of 1% of that land.
00:19:29.000 We're talking like less than half of a percent of federal land and make it available to Americans who simply need a roof over their heads.
00:19:39.000 And contrary to a lot of the alarmist rhetoric that's out here on this bill, the bill explicitly exempts all federally protected lands from eligibility for sale.
00:19:50.000 And that includes like 15 different categories from wilderness and national monuments, national forests, recreation areas, and so on and so forth.
00:20:00.000 But there's been this massive misinformation campaign, I believe funded ultimately by people on the left who are trying to dupe conservatives into believing that it'll somehow endanger the beautiful scenic landscapes that make the West so special and somehow threaten the rights of ranchers, of farmers, of hunters, and other recreation enthusiasts.
00:20:25.000 And we've accommodated those concerns.
00:20:27.000 We've made recent changes just in the last few days to narrow the scope and to make even clearer that this would apply only with respect to land that is in or immediately adjacent to existing residential communities.
00:20:43.000 This isn't the stuff that's out there that's protected land.
00:20:47.000 This is just basically surplus land that's suitable for housing because it's right next to where people live.
00:20:53.000 Well, I want to address the propaganda head on.
00:20:55.000 So actually, I'm glad that the studio did this.
00:20:57.000 Can you guys put up the pictures again?
00:21:00.000 So the studio center is showing like pictures of Yosemite and Yellowstone.
00:21:04.000 By the way, I'm like a national park junkie, just so we're clear.
00:21:08.000 So I think that right there is Yosemite National Park.
00:21:10.000 I'm pretty clear.
00:21:11.000 Sure, that is, I think, the Grand Canyon.
00:21:14.000 So just keep going.
00:21:15.000 So this is, we have the greatest national parks ever.
00:21:17.000 I think that's Zion National Park, if I'm not mistaken.
00:21:19.000 Usually, if you're looking up, it's Zion.
00:21:21.000 Go one more.
00:21:22.000 Let me see.
00:21:22.000 It's like a pop quiz.
00:21:23.000 And that's Tawaro National Park right outside of Tucson.
00:21:28.000 That is probably Yosemite, if I'm not mistaken.
00:21:32.000 And that there is also Yosemite or Yellowstone.
00:21:36.000 One of those is Yellowstone.
00:21:37.000 Okay, so, Senator, and then that's the Redwoods.
00:21:39.000 Senator, just to be clear, you're not talking about these national parks, right?
00:21:43.000 Because that's the propaganda that's being used.
00:21:46.000 Okay, so please just throw it down and separate fact from fiction here.
00:21:51.000 Exactly.
00:21:52.000 So we've specifically exempted that category of protected land and like 15 others from it.
00:21:58.000 Moreover, I would add, Charlotte, even if that weren't in there, and that is, it's a categorical exclusion, that land still wouldn't be appropriate for use with housing.
00:22:10.000 And so again, we're talking about a tiny subset of the federal land footprint.
00:22:15.000 And if you boil all this down and you look at those who are most fervently opposed to this bill, you ultimately come away with an absolutist message, a message that says basically the federal government may not reduce its federal land footprint by even a fraction of 1% or even a few acres, because to do so would just be horrible.
00:22:39.000 That cannot be the case.
00:22:41.000 That must not be the case.
00:22:42.000 This land is owned by the U.S. government.
00:22:44.000 Not all of it is appropriate for conservation, for hiking, for recreation, for hunting.
00:22:49.000 And some of it really is most appropriate or only appropriate for use in the housing area.
00:22:55.000 There's no reason not to allow a process by which people can gain access to that and have a review done as to whether the land in question is appropriate for housing.
00:23:08.000 Every 4th of July, I think about what it really means to be free.
00:23:11.000 It's not just fireworks and cookouts.
00:23:13.000 It's remembering that our freedom was earned, and keeping it means taking responsibility for ourselves and our families.
00:23:19.000 That's why I shop at MyPatriot Supply.

00:23:59.000 Some hunters are pushing back against this.
00:24:01.000 Can you, you added recently, I hear you hunting nation, we're making changes.
00:24:06.000 Can we put 445 up, though, the B-roll?
00:24:08.000 So this is the land that is more likely, I know you can't see any of this, Senator, but okay, largely barren, kind of flat.
00:24:16.000 We're not talking about Yosemite.
00:24:17.000 We're not talking about Grand Teton, right?
00:24:19.000 So, and you said it has to be to adjacent residential communities, if I'm not mistaken, right?
00:24:25.000 So it's only making the residential communities more contiguous.
00:24:29.000 This is not a new community in the middle of Yellowstone.
00:24:34.000 We're not getting condos in Yellowstone.
00:24:36.000 No, that's exactly right.
00:24:38.000 For about 10 independent reasons, you're not getting condos in Yellowstone.
00:24:42.000 And it also prioritizes single-family housing, by the way.
00:24:45.000 But the most recent changes involved removing all Forest Service land.
00:24:51.000 We're not selling off forests.
00:24:54.000 The most recent changes also include significantly reducing the total amount of BLM, Bureau of Land Management managed land that's in the bill.
00:25:03.000 And it would be limited to only land within five miles of an existing population center that would even be eligible.
00:25:11.000 And then, you know, the idea here is to establish these freedom zones and housing within those to ensure that the lands benefit American families and they protect our farmers, our ranchers, and our recreational users.
00:25:24.000 This is what we need.
00:25:27.000 We need for this to happen and we need to dispel once and for all the myth that the federal land footprint occupying nearly a third of all land mass in the United States, including some things that really aren't suitable for anything other than housing.
00:25:40.000 We got to dispel that myth.
00:25:42.000 So Senator, I think some of the criticism is well intended.
00:25:46.000 Some of it from the left is not well intended.
00:25:48.000 Can you talk about the Democrats' war on single-family housing, please?
00:25:53.000 Sure.
00:25:53.000 Look, they, of course, will have to speak for themselves.
00:25:57.000 But what I have seen and what I've heard is that people on the left generally want people moving from rural areas into urban areas, more suburban areas to more urban areas, and from single-family housing into multifamily housing, higher density housing units.
00:26:14.000 They believe that that's good for them, for perhaps for Mother Earth, or whatever their reasons might be.
00:26:21.000 Conservatives tend to want Americans to be able to pursue the American dream, make sure that they at least have a fighting chance in the race of life, a fighting chance to enter the American dream path of acquiring ownership of a single family dwelling unit.
00:26:38.000 And so that is a fundamental difference between the two parties.
00:26:41.000 It's a fundamental difference, certainly, between conservatives and far left radicals who are a lot of people opposing this.
00:26:49.000 Now, you're right, there are some people on the right who are also opposing it.
00:26:53.000 But I believe many of them have been armed with information that's caused them to be mistaken about what the bill does and more importantly, what it doesn't do.
00:27:01.000 The left has been very creative and effective at how they've feeded the field with this information, putting out maps, putting out maps that misstate, misrepresent, and dramatically overstate what the bill would do.
00:27:14.000 We haven't put out maps because there are a whole bunch of criteria established by the legislation.
00:27:20.000 And those criteria are very difficult to reduce to a map.
00:27:23.000 And putting out the maps that the left has on this suggest a massive amount of land that would never, could never be sold in part because it wouldn't be suitable for housing.
00:27:33.000 And so, Senator, in close, let me just put these maps up on screen.
00:27:36.000 So let's say, so that's what they are fear-mongering about, but it's really 443.
00:27:41.000 Put 443 up on screen.
00:27:44.000 That's how small of the land.
00:27:46.000 I can't even see it.
00:27:47.000 It's so small.
00:27:48.000 How many new houses would this potentially result in, Senator?
00:27:51.000 In a number of Western states where this would apply, you could potentially double over a number of years the single family, the supply of single-family homes, but do so on a footprint of less than one, a fraction of one percent, less than half a percent of all federal land owned.
00:28:12.000 That's what we're talking about here.
00:28:14.000 And these are these are not sensitive lands.
00:28:17.000 They are not lands that are out there that are part of an environment that's appropriate for hunting, for hiking, for fishing, et cetera.
00:28:25.000 These are things that are in or immediately adjacent to established residential inhabited communities.
00:28:33.000 That's all we're dealing with.
00:28:34.000 And I really appreciate you letting me come on your show to explain what the bill does and what it doesn't do.
00:28:40.000 Really, really quick, Sen, I know you got a dash.
00:28:41.000 Do you think the Big Beautiful bill is going to pass sometime soon?
00:28:44.000 If yes, walk us through the timing.
00:28:46.000 I believe that this bill, the big, beautiful bill, some version of it is going to pass.
00:28:51.000 There are still a lot of moving parts to it.
00:28:55.000 I continue to believe that we need more aggressive deficit reduction than can be found either in the House bill or in the current iteration, such as it is in the Senate.
00:29:07.000 Among other things, we need a full repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act subsidies.
00:29:13.000 Those subsidies were put in place exclusively by Democrat votes.
00:29:17.000 Not a single Republican in the House, not a single Republican in the Senate voted for any of those.
00:29:22.000 I think those all need to go away.
00:29:24.000 And they need to be terminated completely during this president's term in office.
00:29:28.000 We can achieve additional deficit reduction through that.
00:29:32.000 If we get that done and tighten up some other conditions, I think this passes.
00:29:37.000 And I think it passes between now and July 4th in the Senate and either within that time or shortly thereafter in the House.
00:29:45.000 Very good.
00:29:46.000 Senator, thank you so much.
00:29:47.000 We'll keep our eyes on it.
00:29:48.000 Thank you for your time.
00:29:48.000 Really appreciate it.
