00:01:19.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:30.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:40.000There are several simultaneous Republic-altering events happening.
00:01:46.000We have the omnibus bill that is trying to be jammed down your throat right now being voted on.
00:01:54.000We have Zelensky, who visited Washington, D.C., and he graced us with his presence in sweats, like he's in some sort of 90s infomercial for a treadmill.
00:02:09.000And then now we have the Kerry Lake trial that we are keeping close watch on, close eyes on.
00:02:14.000Rich Barris, a friend of this program, a friend of mine, is testifying right now, being cross-examined by someone in the Katie Hobbs defense, and she just sounds just so like a wonderful person.
00:02:25.000But what is actually in this omnibus bill?
00:02:28.000That is a question that we're trying to figure out.
00:02:36.0004,000 pages of nonsense, from millions of dollars to the Iditarod Trail to the Michelle Obama hiking trail to millions of dollars on gender-affirming care for the United States military.
00:02:51.000So joining us now is Congressman Dan Bishop from North Carolina, who has actually read the bill and is doing the important and tough work of objecting to it.
00:03:26.000And, you know, even the things we're able to find is in a hurry to read through to identify the worst of the worst and its broad outlines.
00:03:36.000But you've mentioned a number of them.
00:03:38.000The FBI gets a big half-billion dollar increase to over $11 billion before we've had a crack at the first witness about the FBI's ongoing interference with Americans' First Amendment rights and targeting of American citizens and the like.
00:03:56.000And 400 million dollars almost for a new headquarters, that there's a provision that the 1.5 billion dollars of operating funds appropriated to Customs AND Border Patrol cannot be used to enhance American border security.
00:04:13.000But we have 400 million dollars appropriated for uh, the border, to enhance border security in Egypt and Oman and a couple of other Middle Eastern Arab states.
00:04:26.000Those are, those are, you know examples, and I could go on well.
00:04:30.000I mean so just make sure I understand this correctly, the money cannot be used to secure our border.
00:04:34.000Republicans are voting for this enthusiastically, right.
00:04:39.000So we got uh, Tom Cotton, we got Lisa Murkowski, we got Boozman.
00:04:46.000We have I mean, I got the whole list here Roy Blunt no shock there Rob Portman, we got Susan Collins.
00:04:53.000Who needs Democrats when Republicans are duplicitous enough to sell out our entire country?
00:05:00.000That's true Charlie, and you know, this is the thing I think for those of us and I haven't been here that long I certainly empathize with the people at home who are going.
00:05:10.000But here's the the key thing that you have to learn, and I want to say this to you Charlie, because I it was in attending your event recently at unc and listening to you speak, I thought about how you you, your career is about doing something in a different way.
00:05:25.000The status quo in Washington, this is the system.
00:05:32.000Just last night, about 12 hours ago, Mike Lee thought he had them hung up on a yep on an amendment he was offering to extend title 42 for the border.
00:05:41.000And sure enough, the durable status quo is that the system has reestablished itself in the course of those 12 hours and the thing's still rolling forward, and the way the House operates is part of that durable system Charlie, that's the question is how many Republicans are really prepared to change the status quo in Washington?
00:06:05.000And it is not many yeah, and so I think you're alluding to the speakers race, and I do want to get your your thoughts on that and to allow you to to speak about it.
00:06:15.000But just one more thing on the omnibus bill.
00:06:17.000Um, it does seem that this is going to pass, which I just.
00:06:46.000And and that's a detour worth having even before I answer your question directly that the because you teased it up pretty, pretty nicely in some of the video you played 47 billion dollars more for Ukraine, taking the number in the course of the past year over a hundred billion dollars.
00:07:02.000And Mitch Mcconnell says it is the top priority for Republicans.
00:07:16.000I haven't had any, I mean, one or two who have a particular idiosyncratic connection, but otherwise I never get that request that this be put at the top of the list.
00:07:25.000People are worried about other things.
00:07:27.000And that is another indicator that we're not talking about ordinary sensibilities of Americans and just having a division of opinion.
00:07:34.000I'll be honest with you, I haven't had occasion to speak to senators.
00:07:37.000I'm talking to Chip Roy, who talks a lot to Mike Lee, and Mike's been the guy trying to figure out a way to get this off track.
00:07:44.000The only thing that I have heard secondhand through leadership in the House is that they believe that the House is going to be rambunctious with a close majority in the Republicans, and therefore they don't think you can get business done as usual next year.
00:08:02.000That's what the American people said they wanted.
00:08:04.000This is so, I'm going to be honest, like you cannot sustain a government this way.
00:08:09.000People are going to just disengage and be so cynical.
00:08:13.000There's such an unbelievable disconnect.
00:08:15.000And so to kind of transition back to your point that you wanted to make, and I want to give you an opportunity to do that, to read between the lines, what you're saying is you were basically saying that on one three, we need a change in leadership.
00:08:30.000I haven't finally resolved myself to it, Charlie, because I've heard the arguments that have been made, including by you, that you don't know what you get.
00:08:39.000And the struggle is I know what we get.
00:08:43.000I don't care how many vetoes or how many protections or stopping mechanisms we put into place.
00:08:51.000The absence of commitment to a legislative policy strategy, the unwillingness to go to the mat to fight essential fights at leverage points across will foreordain what happens.
00:09:23.000And Kevin McCarthy, to his credit, is against this omnibus.
00:09:26.000Now, the counter argument, the counter argument would be, but he's able to do that because they don't need the House votes because it's simple majoritarian bodies.
00:10:12.000Pre-born is a ministry doing just that with the help of you, with your help.
00:10:17.000And look, by giving your help, you guys can get a free ultrasound session.
00:10:22.000With your help, you can give a free ultrasound session to a woman or a girl who might otherwise choose to end their pregnancy.

00:11:17.000Do you think it's superficial to say that a foreign leader who receives over $100 billion should wear a suit and tie when he shows up to Congress?
00:11:54.000What is it going to take for us to stop this omnibus monstrosity?
00:12:00.000Charlie, just moments ago on the Senate floor, we voted on my amendment, my amendment to preserve Title 42 authority, which, of course, is the last thing that provides any protection to the American people along our southern border.
00:12:13.000And moments ago, we had won the amendment.
00:12:17.000When the time had expired, we were ahead by one vote.
00:12:21.000Every Republican president had voted for it, and we picked up Mansion and Cinema.
00:12:25.000Then at the last minute, they delayed the vote when they realized they were about to lose.
00:12:31.000The rule of the day under our agreement was supposed to be that you go over 10 minutes, the vote ends, but they were losing.
00:12:38.000So Chuck Schumer halted everything, pulled them off the floor.
00:13:01.000We've only got maybe another hour or two to do it, but this bill is bad and it will preserve the border crisis by failing to preserve Title 42.
00:13:11.000Yeah, and so the Senator, I'm just curious, your colleagues that are voting for this bill that sends all this money straight to the Ukrainian Treasury, Michelle Obama trail, gender-affirming care, $400,000 for at-risk youth for green energy jobs.
00:13:26.000And I'm barely even touching the surface, $400 million for a new headquarters for the FBI after what they've done.
00:13:32.000What in private can you share, Senator, that your Republican colleagues, what rationale are they giving you besides, I want to get home for Christmas?
00:13:42.000Well, okay, as they put it, they think it's really important for us to pass an omnibus rather than a continuing resolution.
00:13:49.000They think it's better for the troops.
00:13:50.000They can get more money for the military through this mechanism.
00:13:54.000And they think it might be difficult for the Republican House to get something through next week because it'll be difficult.
00:14:00.000In my view, none of those arguments come even remotely close to justifying a bill that's going to end up costing about $1.8 trillion and the spillover consequences over the next decade, which are going to cost an additional $2 trillion.
00:14:17.000A bill that does nothing to protect our border, in fact, weakens our ability to defend our southern border and provides all sorts of special interest giveaways, like 3,200 earmarks.
00:14:33.000And we should be giving the spending authority to the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives that will be sworn in in a matter of weeks.
00:14:44.000So, Senator, what can be done at this point?
00:14:46.000I mean, it looks like Republicans, I mean, you've done a wonderful job, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, you deserve credit, but it seems as if Republicans are enthusiastic to add another trillion dollars to the deficit, send more money to Ukraine unnecessarily.
00:16:35.000Now that the Democrats have proven disingenuous on border security, those who previously thought they were going to vote for it should change their minds.
00:16:43.000That's what we urgently need to communicate.
00:16:44.000Senator Lee, thank you for fighting for Liberty.

00:18:54.000Somebody asked me yesterday, one of the donors to Turning Point Action, Charlie, why is it That Republicans stayed at home in the midterms.
00:19:10.000I wish we would have Senator Herschel Walker and Senator Adam Laxalt and Senator Blake Masters.
00:19:16.000No, Republicans stayed at home in some of these states in big numbers because of exactly what is unfolding right now in front of Congress.
00:19:27.000And a major component of the omnibus bill is the continued funding of the Ukrainian government, not even in forms of weapons or artillery, which I do not support, but in direct wire transfers to the Ukrainian treasury.
00:19:49.000Mitch McConnell, who is the leader of the Republicans in the United States Senate, says that your number one priority is to defeat the Russians and provide assistance to Ukraine.
00:20:07.000Not inflation, not the fact that your kids are killing themselves at record numbers or addicted to benzodiazepines, Zoloft, or Prozac, not the fact that the military got kicked out for not taking an mRNA gene-altering shot, not the porous southern border, not the unemployment crisis that is looming, not crime.
00:20:29.000The number one priority for you, he's telling you what your number one priority is, is helping Zelensky play Cut 28.
00:20:39.000Making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming from Russia and China, providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians.
00:20:54.000That's the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans.
00:21:01.000That's sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment.
00:21:16.000Bad lip reading is a hilarious YouTube channel where they dub over the audio of somebody talking because you can't really tell, you can't really read McConnell's lips because there's just not a lot of movement there because as pantomiming the turtle.
00:21:31.000So I couldn't tell if he actually said that.
00:21:33.000I had to go look it up on third-party fact-checked website that I actually trust.
00:21:49.000Does Ukraine have members of Congress?
00:21:52.000He's just making that up in every single survey.
00:21:55.000Ukraine does not show up in the top 15.
00:21:57.000Now, if you listen carefully, though, because I've had to listen to that clip about 20 times, what he is saying is that that's how we view it.
00:22:34.000Call you racist and honor a foreigner in a joint session of Congress.
00:22:39.000All the while we're stumbling closer to World War III to fight a proxy war against a country that should be partners in the actual fight against the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:50.000Cut 30, Zelensky visited, and Biden says that we need $45 billion more to Zelensky.
00:22:59.000Have spent more money on Ukraine in the last year than the combined GDP of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.
00:23:11.000Here at the White House, we are told during the visit, President Biden will announce a significant new package of security assistance to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression.
00:23:59.000This duplicity, infidelity, and disloyalty to America is unsustainable.
00:24:07.000So Zelensky spoke in front of Congress yesterday, looking like he just got out of a gold's gym.
00:24:14.000Now, some people are saying, oh, Charlie, come on, don't attack him for wearing military fatigues.
00:24:19.000I think it is disrespectful, arrogant, smug, uppity for a foreigner to come into our Congress, say we're not giving you enough money, and you do not even have the respect to go put on a suit and tie.
00:27:31.000I have here the United States Constitution.
00:27:33.000The moral argument made in the U.S. Constitution is that we must value our own territorial and sovereign integrity more than that of a far-off distant land.
00:27:44.000Joe Manchin, who's up for re-election, by the way, says, I'm all in.
00:29:10.000It's not like the Goths are invading us.
00:29:15.000The end of the year is right around the corner, and it's time for you to consider a change in your investment plan.
00:29:19.000This is Charlie Kirk, and I strongly recommend you go right now and see my friends at PAX to review your investments.
00:29:27.000They are the one firm I know that focuses on biblical, responsible investing and does not force you to invest in companies that literally attack Christian values.
00:29:36.000If we want religious liberty in our country, we have to stop investing in companies that are trying to suppress our freedoms.
00:31:33.000I think President Zelensky made a compelling case for why supporting Ukraine in this unprovoked war against Russia is good, not just for Ukraine and Europe, but good for America's national security.
00:31:47.000How is it good for America's national security?
00:31:49.000Can anybody email me that freedom at charliekirk.com?
00:31:52.000What is the American urgent national security interest of which $100 plus billion dollars, soon to be $150 billion?
00:31:59.000Do you think that we could have better spent $150 billion on a U.S.-southern border wall?
00:32:03.000For $150 billion, we could have militarized the U.S.-southern border, double border patrol, had drone reconnaissance, and had illegal border crossings go to zero.
00:32:12.000But instead, this omnibus bill, there's words for these people.
00:33:03.000In the limited focus that we have at Turning Point Action, we are going to be focused on primaring and removing every single one of these people.
00:33:12.000We might be unsuccessful, but we're not going to let this happen.
00:34:31.000This is a, they are robbing any midterm majority that we receive because then what happens is then they kick it all the way to September.
00:34:40.000And then by the time we have a House majority, they're going to be like, well, we're a year out from the midterm, a year out from elections, which is true.
00:34:48.000By September, we'll be a year out from the 2024 elections.
