00:00:48.000His 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.
00:00:56.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:57.000But Republicans want to get home for Christmas too.
00:02:59.000And not only do they want to fund the government, they want to have a nine-month extension robbing the new Republican House majority, giving another tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
00:03:11.000Let's get the exact number so I'm precise.
00:03:15.000Funding January 6th prosecutions and more.
00:04:17.000Lisa Murkowski, Senator Shelby, Senator Tubberville, Senator Boozman from Arkansas, Senator Cotton from Arkansas, Senator Rubio from Florida, Senator Grassley from Iowa, Senator Young from Indiana, Senator Moran from Kansas, Senator McConnell from Kentucky, Senator Collins from Name, Senator Blunt from Missouri, Senator Moran from Kansas, Senator McConnell from Kentucky.
00:04:42.000Sorry, there's some duplicates in this list.
00:04:46.000Anyway, Senator Thune from South Dakota, Senator Rounds from South Dakota, Senator Graham from South Carolina, Senator Portman from Ohio, Senator Wicker from Mississippi, Hyde Smith from Mississippi.
00:04:57.000Do you know what is a really interesting through line here?
00:05:00.000These are some of the most conservative states in the country.
00:05:50.000We've never seen numbers as high in the history of this nation.
00:05:53.000So we've got to understand historic crisis anyways, out of control despite Title 42 in play.
00:05:59.000But the crisis right now is taking 70 to 80 percent of agents off the line, taking them off patrol to process these large groups, which means the border is vulnerable to drugs, vulnerable to no suspected terrorists, vulnerable to sex trafficking, women, and children, because you're basically just on the line.
00:06:15.000If Title 42 drops, that just means more people come, which is going to result in, what, more agents being pulled off the line.
00:06:21.000I mean, in El Paso last two weeks, you're already 90% of the agents are off the line.
00:06:25.000There's video out there and box showing hundreds of them just walking across the highway into the city of El Paso, unimpeded by any law enforcement because they simply weren't there.
00:06:38.000But what I keep telling people is that despite Title 42, even if the secretary and the president want to blame CDC, they have no control over CDC.
00:06:46.000They'll do what they want, or the courts will do what they want.
00:06:55.000They can run it the way the Trump administration did.
00:06:58.000And we'd have a significant reduction on border crossings.
00:07:01.000But they're not going to do that because they don't want to secure the border.
00:07:04.000No, they don't want to secure border for very obvious and transparent reasons.
00:07:09.000So, Tom, I mean, you've done a lot of work on the southern border, and your leadership really helped make the country safer.
00:07:17.000It seems like Senate Republicans don't really care about the southern border at all.
00:07:22.000What could Congress do, if anything, to give resources to Border Patrol and ICE to prevent this invasion of our country?
00:07:30.000Well, they're not doing it in this bill.
00:07:32.000Matter of fact, I did a show on Fox two hours ago that I said, I'm frankly sick and tired of many Republicans going downtown the border, doing the dog and pony show, and going back to D.C. and voting for this bill that's sitting there right now.
00:07:49.000The bill sitting right now is spend billions of dollars to NGOs to process aliens and release them into the country.
00:08:11.000What they can simply do, this administration, which they won't do, is just turn on Trump policies that have shown the most effective border security ever had.
00:08:19.000So, you know, when I said Republicans take back the House, they can pass some border bills.
00:08:24.000We'll see if they got the guts to do it, but it's really a matter of legislation.
00:08:29.000They don't need a dollar more on the border.
00:08:31.000They don't need any, all they got to do is change the policies.
00:08:35.000You put the Remaining Mexico program, man.
00:08:37.000You put the 36 country game at 10, and you beat 85% of aliens of immigration.
00:08:42.000This is a policy, it's not really a money issue.
00:08:45.000However, since the border show is hurting for resources, because a lot of guys have quit, a lot of guys have retired, and God help us, 14 of them suicide.
00:08:53.000I mean, we'll always use more agents on the line, but this is mainly a policy issue.
00:08:57.000And the Congress can sit down and fix the three loopholes that are causing this crisis: fix the Trafficking Protection Reauthorization Act that say that children come across the border, once we ascertain they're not a victim of trafficking, they should be returned to their home.
00:09:12.000Secondly, you gotta fix the asylum rules.
00:09:14.000Make that first interview on the border at the same threshold the court holds them to.
00:09:18.000That way, they're not released in the United States on a false claim.
00:09:21.000And third, change the flora settlement agreement.
00:09:24.000I'll laugh for a settlement agreement.
00:09:25.000If a family crosses this border, allow us to hold them at a family residential center for up to 40 days to see a judge.
00:09:31.000We did it back in 2015 under President Obama, and 90% of the lost their case.
00:10:01.000Well, not everyone wants the new iPhone 27 or whatever number they're on.
00:10:05.000In fact, a hard and difficult economic year for most has caused essential gifts to be more needed and wanted than ever.

00:11:24.000So let's just make, I just have to reiterate this.
00:11:28.000First of all, we're keeping an eye on the Cary Lake situation for all of you that are curious on that.
00:11:33.000There is some very interesting testimony going about the length of the ballots, which seems to be a little bit in the weeds, but it's actually really, really important.
00:11:44.000Okay, so there is a $2 trillion omnibus bill that cannot be passed without Republican support.
00:11:54.000Now, we've already sent over $100 billion to Ukraine.
00:12:01.000I just got to brag on this show a little bit.
00:12:04.000Our production team, our guests, we have been warning about Ukraine and this being a waste of money and a waste of time since the very beginning.
00:12:19.000And now they want to spend another $45 billion.
00:13:08.000So it's Shelly Moore Capito from West Virginia, Mitt Romney from Utah, John Cornyn from Texas, John Thune from South Dakota, Mike Rounds from South Dakota, Lady Graham from South Carolina, Rob Portman from Ohio, Wicker from Mississippi, Hyde Smith from Mississippi, Roy Blunt from Missouri, Susan Collins from Maine, The Turtle from Kentucky, Moran from Kansas, Blunt from Missouri, Collins from Maine.
00:13:36.000So Young from Indiana, Grassley from Iowa, Rubio from Florida, Cotton from Arkansas, Boozman from Arkansas, Tubbard from Alabama, Shelby from Alabama, and Murkowski from Alaska.
00:13:56.000Do you know that this bill sends money to secure the border of Jordan, Nepal, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Oman, and Pakistan?
00:14:12.000It doesn't send money to go to secure our own border, though.
00:14:16.000No, the Senate Republicans that I mentioned, they are more concerned about making sure that that darn annoying Nepal border is enforced.
00:14:29.000Yeah, you know, that Tunisian border crisis, really a big concern for Americans.
00:14:34.000Or how about what's happening in Oman?
00:14:38.000I will give if more than 10% of Americans could look at a map, an unlabeled map of the Middle East, and get within 100 square miles of guessing where Oman is, I would be very impressed.
00:14:54.000By the way, it's on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, east of Yemen.
00:15:06.000This is what your voter, what your people that you send to D.C.
00:15:09.000And honestly, you know, a couple weeks ago after the Herschel Walker campaign failed and people stayed at home, I was very upset and I will remain upset with that.
00:15:17.000I still think you have to vote, but I get it.
00:15:20.000Senate Republicans deserve to be in the minority, period.
00:15:24.000This kind of behavior, I don't want them to be in the minority, but this voting behavior, for example, $6 million for Clemson University is in this bill, $982,000 for motel vouchers in LA, $817,000 for partnerships with justice-involved individuals, $2 million for improving coordination in the New York mayor's office,
00:15:53.000$8.6 million for the Pentagon to do gender advisor programs, $166 million for neighborhood reinvestment activities, $4 million for shared equity housing models, $900 million for land acquisition and related programs.
00:16:09.000The EPA gets $10.1 billion, an increase.
00:16:13.000Republicans are giving the EPA more money.
00:16:16.000$108 million for environmental justice activities.
00:16:20.000The FBI is getting a new $375 million headquarters.
00:16:50.000Charlie Kirk here, look, I've told you about producer Andrew and how Relief Factor has really improved his life and relieved the pain in his knees and back.
00:16:57.000Now let me tell you about Yvonne in California.
00:17:00.000She says this: quote, both my husband and I are in our 70s and so grateful to have found Relief Factor.
00:17:05.000We've tried so many other solutions, but none of them have given us the freedom from aches and pains like Relief Factor.
00:17:11.000I hear Yvonne, Relief Factor works for me too.
00:17:14.000Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free solution developed by doctors based on scientific research to help your body attack the underlying inflammation causing you pain.
00:17:23.000Three weeks from now, you could be doing the things you enjoy doing.
00:17:27.000Your first step to becoming pain-free could be just to order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
00:17:33.000After trying Relief Factor, over half a million people have gone on to order more.
00:17:38.000Go to relieffactor.com or call 8004Relief to find out more about this offer.
00:17:42.000That's relieffactor.com or call 8004Relief.
00:17:45.000Live your best life and feel the difference with Relief Factor.
00:17:51.000Okay, $2.35 million in improvement and maintenance on the Iditarod Trail.
00:17:57.000That sounds like a handout for Lisa Murkowski.
00:20:14.000You know, I keep hearing these people babbling about our democracy and how important it is.
00:20:20.000But is it really a democracy if you don't have a chance to actually work on legislation, to run it through committees, to see what's in it, to vote on it, to move amendments?
00:20:31.000Or is it just a, you know, practically a dictatorship with this little bow on top that makes you think that you have a voice?
00:23:50.000But what we're doing here strikes me as crazy because it violates all the things that we know about foreign policy, about military leadership.
00:24:35.000We're learning a hell of a lot about Russians, a hell of a lot about modern warfare.
00:24:40.000We're getting benefit out of this if we're smart enough to be, you know, capturing the signal and getting the getting the intelligence and learning from this fight.
00:24:51.000But it's the idea that we just should shut up and write checks.
00:27:27.000$8.6 million for a gender advisor program.
00:27:31.000I'm sure the people of South Dakota are going to be thrilled that John Thune and Senator Rounds are giving $8.6 million for a gender advisor program.
00:27:40.000I don't understand why any Republican is voting for a penny for the Pentagon until Rich Alconis, the lieutenant unjustly imprisoned in Japan, gets his pay restored so his family doesn't starve.

00:30:35.000Portions of this Charlie Kirk show are brought to you by Pre-Born.
00:31:31.000This last minute here, we're going to drop this giant, you know, thing, again, trying to remain FCC compliant on your desks and demand you vote on it immediately.
00:31:43.000And that's just not the way our government should work.
00:31:46.000And that shouldn't be a partisan issue.
00:31:50.000Everybody should want the debates, but they don't.
00:31:54.000Look, they want to force this bill through with minimal debate because as soon as you start shining a light on it, you know, the cockroaches start scurrying.
00:32:02.000The Michelle Obama trail gender advisors in the Pentagon, they just want to get it done.
00:32:15.000I just texted Senator Mike Lee and Senator Josh Hawley, and I asked them, I don't know, I'm not a Senate parliamentarian guy, what is it going to take to get this bill read word for word on the Senate floor, of which will take three days.
00:33:06.000The guys who are opposing him and him and his guys, they need to come together, make a deal so they have a unified front so that the senators who are wondering, are we going to be able to get something done in January, understand that there's people in charge in the House?
00:33:32.000Some of them are concerned that the Republicans in the House won't be able to get together to do the thing that needs to be done in January.
00:33:40.000So I think that's a big consideration, too.
00:33:42.000Well, I mean, but that's not a reason to go punt it all the way to September.
00:34:25.000But my life is a lot worse when I'm paying a huge chunk of my income that could be going to supporting my family, you know, to nonsense like I did a rod.
00:35:51.000And I don't think it's too much to expect that the people we send to Washington sit out there and argue about the stuff.
00:35:59.000I want somebody on the Senate floor saying, hey, maybe we shouldn't be funding the Iditarod Trail.
00:36:03.000Hey, I like sled dogs as much as anybody else.
00:36:06.000But, you know, there's, you know, there are other priorities like, oh, I don't know, securing our border, which apparently this bill makes it illegal to do.
00:36:18.000And you've got so many Republicans who have this normalcy bias.
00:36:22.000They have this bias where they try to believe that things are quote unquote normal and that we're all working together for a better tomorrow, but we're not.
