00:00:57.000 Here we go.
00:00:58.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:00.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:02.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:05.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:08.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:09.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:10.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:12.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:18.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:19.000 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.
00:01:28.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:30.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:40.000 There are several simultaneous Republic-altering events happening.
00:01:46.000 We have the omnibus bill that is trying to be jammed down your throat right now being voted on.
00:01:54.000 We 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.
00:02:09.000 And then now we have the Kerry Lake trial that we are keeping close watch on, close eyes on.
00:02:14.000 Rich 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.
00:02:25.000 But what is actually in this omnibus bill?
00:02:28.000 That is a question that we're trying to figure out. 0.97
00:02:31.000 There's 4,000 pages of garbage. 0.93
00:02:36.000 4,000 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. 0.97
00:02:51.000 So 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.
00:03:03.000 Congressman, welcome to the program.
00:03:05.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:03:06.000 I'm happy to be with you.
00:03:08.000 Walk us through what is in this bill, 4,000 pages.
00:03:12.000 Do I understand correctly?
00:03:13.000 You guys barely had any time to read this?
00:03:15.000 Oh, yeah.
00:03:16.000 The text appeared at 2 a.m. morning before last.
00:03:20.000 And give credit to my small staff.
00:03:24.000 We decided to tackle it.
00:03:26.000 And, 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.
00:03:36.000 But you've mentioned a number of them.
00:03:38.000 The 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.
00:03:56.000 And 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.
00:04:11.000 I mean, it actually says that.
00:04:13.000 But 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.
00:04:26.000 Those are, those are, you know examples, and I could go on well.
00:04:30.000 I mean so just make sure I understand this correctly, the money cannot be used to secure our border.
00:04:34.000 Republicans are voting for this enthusiastically, right.
00:04:39.000 So we got uh, Tom Cotton, we got Lisa Murkowski, we got Boozman.
00:04:46.000 We have I mean, I got the whole list here Roy Blunt no shock there Rob Portman, we got Susan Collins.
00:04:53.000 Who needs Democrats when Republicans are duplicitous enough to sell out our entire country? 0.94
00:05:00.000 That'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. 0.99
00:05:08.000 How can these guys suck so bad?
00:05:10.000 But 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. 0.97
00:05:25.000 The status quo in Washington, this is the system.
00:05:29.000 It is very durable.
00:05:32.000 Just 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.
00:05:41.000 And 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?
00:06:05.000 And 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.
00:06:15.000 But just one more thing on the omnibus bill.
00:06:17.000 Um, it does seem that this is going to pass, which I just.
00:06:22.000 What is their rationale?
00:06:24.000 Privately, when you are speaking to these senators, what is their argument?
00:06:29.000 I mean, this is so wildly unpopular with even moderates and Democrats.
00:06:34.000 This adds a trillion dollars to the debt and the deficit. 0.81
00:06:38.000 It sends tens of billions of dollars to that punk Zelensky. 0.87
00:06:42.000 So what?
00:06:43.000 What exactly is going on here?
00:06:46.000 And 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.
00:07:02.000 And Mitch Mcconnell says it is the top priority for Republicans.
00:07:05.000 I can't even comprehend that.
00:07:07.000 I mean, is he Talking about Republican employees at Lockheed Martin?
00:07:12.000 Well, I think that's exactly the question.
00:07:15.000 They're not Republicans that I know.
00:07:16.000 I 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.
00:07:25.000 People are worried about other things.
00:07:27.000 And that is another indicator that we're not talking about ordinary sensibilities of Americans and just having a division of opinion.
00:07:34.000 I'll be honest with you, I haven't had occasion to speak to senators.
00:07:37.000 I'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.
00:07:44.000 The 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.
00:07:57.000 And I would say they're correct.
00:07:58.000 You're not going to get business done as usual.
00:08:01.000 That's what people think.
00:08:02.000 That's what the American people said they wanted.
00:08:04.000 This is so, I'm going to be honest, like you cannot sustain a government this way.
00:08:09.000 People are going to just disengage and be so cynical.
00:08:13.000 There's such an unbelievable disconnect.
00:08:15.000 And 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.
00:08:26.000 Is that a fair kind of.
00:08:28.000 Well, it's a conundrum.
00:08:30.000 I 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.
00:08:39.000 And the struggle is I know what we get.
00:08:43.000 I don't care how many vetoes or how many protections or stopping mechanisms we put into place.
00:08:51.000 The 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.
00:09:08.000 It will be the same as it has been.
00:09:10.000 Mitch McConnell and his ill will will call all of the shots.
00:09:14.000 In fact, this Omni puts us on ice for nine months.
00:09:19.000 And so it is a conundrum.
00:09:20.000 I haven't finally resolved in my opinion.
00:09:22.000 I agree.
00:09:23.000 And Kevin McCarthy, to his credit, is against this omnibus.
00:09:26.000 Now, 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.
00:09:36.000 So there's a cynical interpretation.
00:09:38.000 There is also a, you know, a more optimistic one in Kevin's regard.
00:09:44.000 Meanwhile, Zelensky gets a standing ovation.
00:09:46.000 Board of Patrol doesn't get a standing ovation.
00:09:48.000 They don't get a special session of Congress.
00:09:50.000 Our country gets invaded, but I have to be lectured to by Zelensky that he needs more money.
00:09:56.000 He literally said in front of Congress, you haven't been giving me enough money.
00:10:00.000 We are doing direct money transfers into the Ukrainian treasury.
00:10:06.000 What if I told you that you could save a baby's life for just $28?
00:10:11.000 Well, it's true.
00:10:12.000 Pre-born is a ministry doing just that with the help of you, with your help.
00:10:17.000 And look, by giving your help, you guys can get a free ultrasound session.
00:10:22.000 With your help, you can give a free ultrasound session to a woman or a girl who might otherwise choose to end their pregnancy.
00:10:30.000 We know that pregnant girls and women who can see their babies on ultrasound are far more likely to choose life.
00:10:36.000 Your gift today can save babies' lives for just $28, and it can give a mother who is abortion-minded the chance to see the truth of the baby that is growing inside her.
00:10:45.000 $140 can do this for five girls and women.
00:10:49.000 And $15,000 will provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.

00:10:57.000 There's no better time than now to save a baby's life.

00:11:06.000 Go to charliekirk.com or call 833-850-2229.
00:11:11.000 That is charliekirk.com.
00:11:15.000 I want your thoughts from the audience.
00:11:15.000 I got an email.
00:11:17.000 Do 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?
00:11:29.000 Do you think that's superficial?
00:11:30.000 Someone says, Charlie, you're being superficial for attacking Zelensky.
00:11:34.000 You're overthinking it.
00:11:35.000 I want your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:11:37.000 Right now, we have Senator Mike Lee, who is doing heroes' work in the Senate.
00:11:41.000 I got to tell you, I was up late last night texting with Senator Lee.
00:11:44.000 He is doing everything he can to obliterate this omnibus bill through Title 42 amendments, through everything.
00:11:51.000 I have so much respect for him.
00:11:52.000 Senator, what is the latest?
00:11:54.000 What is it going to take for us to stop this omnibus monstrosity?
00:12:00.000 Charlie, 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.
00:12:13.000 And moments ago, we had won the amendment.
00:12:17.000 When the time had expired, we were ahead by one vote.
00:12:21.000 Every Republican president had voted for it, and we picked up Mansion and Cinema.
00:12:25.000 Then at the last minute, they delayed the vote when they realized they were about to lose.
00:12:31.000 The rule of the day under our agreement was supposed to be that you go over 10 minutes, the vote ends, but they were losing.
00:12:38.000 So Chuck Schumer halted everything, pulled them off the floor.
00:12:41.000 Moments later, they re-emerged.
00:12:43.000 They changed their votes, and we lost.
00:12:46.000 This is the moment when we pull the fire alarm.
00:12:48.000 This is the moment when we need to send the signal.
00:12:50.000 It's no longer, I don't think it was appropriate to vote for the omnibus before that.
00:12:56.000 But no Republican should even consider voting for the omnibus now.
00:12:59.000 We need to stop this thing.
00:13:01.000 We'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.
00:13:11.000 Yeah, 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.
00:13:26.000 And I'm barely even touching the surface, $400 million for a new headquarters for the FBI after what they've done.
00:13:32.000 What in private can you share, Senator, that your Republican colleagues, what rationale are they giving you besides, I want to get home for Christmas?
00:13:42.000 Well, okay, as they put it, they think it's really important for us to pass an omnibus rather than a continuing resolution.
00:13:49.000 They think it's better for the troops.
00:13:50.000 They can get more money for the military through this mechanism.
00:13:54.000 And they think it might be difficult for the Republican House to get something through next week because it'll be difficult.
00:14:00.000 In 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.
00:14:17.000 A 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.
00:14:30.000 This is a terrible process.
00:14:31.000 It's a terrible outcome.
00:14:33.000 And 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.
00:14:43.000 It is just unbelievable to me.
00:14:44.000 So, Senator, what can be done at this point?
00:14:46.000 I 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.
00:15:01.000 What can possibly be done?
00:15:03.000 Look, in the short time we have remaining, just make phone calls to their offices and send out tweets, send out talk on social media.
00:15:16.000 And it's not just for this moment, although I would do it now while there's still in theory time to influence senators.
00:15:23.000 I think the record needs to be laid, even in the coming days.
00:15:27.000 It's still got to go through the House of Representatives.
00:15:30.000 And I think the record needs to be set that people didn't like this.
00:15:33.000 They don't like this.
00:15:35.000 And what they would much prefer is for Congress to not do things like this and pass bills that they've never read.
00:15:42.000 You know, we saw this for the first time Tuesday morning, 4,155 pages of it.
00:15:49.000 It had been written by four or five people in Congress and kept secret from literally everyone else.
00:15:53.000 So every member of Congress, even the press.
00:15:56.000 Can it be filibustered?
00:15:57.000 Can you read it from the Senate floor?
00:15:59.000 You were texting me that.
00:16:00.000 Unfortunately, those are not options.
00:16:01.000 Is that correct?
00:16:03.000 Yes, they are not options at this stage of this procedural stage.
00:16:08.000 We are at the end of the rope on this one, and that's why little time remains.
00:16:12.000 But like I say, it's still important to communicate your thoughts on this.
00:16:15.000 If nothing else, we set the record so that people will be less inclined to do this next time.
00:16:20.000 We've given this everything we've got, and there's still overwhelming, mystifyingly to me, there's still overwhelming support for it.
00:16:28.000 But no Republican should vote for this, especially now that this change happened.
00:16:33.000 And that's the big change.
00:16:34.000 That's what you can communicate.
00:16:35.000 Now that the Democrats have proven disingenuous on border security, those who previously thought they were going to vote for it should change their minds.
00:16:43.000 That's what we urgently need to communicate.
00:16:44.000 Senator Lee, thank you for fighting for Liberty.

00:18:54.000 Somebody asked me yesterday, one of the donors to Turning Point Action, Charlie, why is it That Republicans stayed at home in the midterms.
00:19:05.000 I don't understand.
00:19:06.000 I could tell you exactly why people stayed at home.
00:19:09.000 I wish they would have showed up.
00:19:09.000 I don't support it.
00:19:10.000 I wish we would have Senator Herschel Walker and Senator Adam Laxalt and Senator Blake Masters.
00:19:16.000 No, Republicans stayed at home in some of these states in big numbers because of exactly what is unfolding right now in front of Congress.
00:19:27.000 And 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.
00:19:49.000 Mitch 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.
00:20:07.000 Not 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.
00:20:28.000 No, no, no, no.
00:20:29.000 The number one priority for you, he's telling you what your number one priority is, is helping Zelensky play Cut 28. 0.63
00:20:39.000 Making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming from Russia and China, providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians.
00:20:54.000 That's the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans.
00:21:01.000 That's sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment.
00:21:08.000 Unbelievable.
00:21:10.000 When someone first sent that to me, I thought it was a bad lip reading video.
00:21:14.000 You familiar with bad lip reading?
00:21:16.000 Bad 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.
00:21:31.000 So I couldn't tell if he actually said that.
00:21:33.000 I had to go look it up on third-party fact-checked website that I actually trust.
00:21:39.000 And yes, he really did say that.
00:21:41.000 Mitch McConnell is saying that the number one priority is Ukraine.
00:21:46.000 Is Ukraine a state in our country?
00:21:49.000 Does Ukraine have members of Congress?
00:21:52.000 He's just making that up in every single survey.
00:21:55.000 Ukraine does not show up in the top 15.
00:21:57.000 Now, 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.
00:22:05.000 Oh, now I agree with Mitch McConnell.
00:22:08.000 Is it the number one priority of Republican senators?
00:22:11.000 Yes.
00:22:13.000 That I agree with.
00:22:14.000 Republican voters?
00:22:15.000 No, but I mean, voters have no impact on how senators actually act. 0.99
00:22:19.000 Voters are irrelevant.
00:22:21.000 That is the message they are sending repeatedly.
00:22:24.000 We are an oligarchy.
00:22:25.000 We are the Roman Senate. 0.99
00:22:27.000 We hate you. 0.99
00:22:28.000 We think low of you. 1.00
00:22:30.000 We're going to bankrupt you.
00:22:31.000 Make sure you live in huge inflation.
00:22:33.000 Keep your borders wide open. 0.97
00:22:34.000 Call you racist and honor a foreigner in a joint session of Congress.
00:22:39.000 All 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.
00:22:50.000 Cut 30, Zelensky visited, and Biden says that we need $45 billion more to Zelensky.
00:22:59.000 Have spent more money on Ukraine in the last year than the combined GDP of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.
00:23:09.000 Play cut 30.
00:23:11.000 Here 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.
00:23:22.000 So there's going to be a new package.
00:23:24.000 Look at what the U.S. has already sent, though.
00:23:25.000 Military aid, $38.2 billion.
00:23:28.000 Humanitarian aid, $12 billion.
00:23:31.000 Government aid, $18 billion.
00:23:33.000 And there is expected to be another $1.8 billion on the way soon just for Patriot missiles.
00:23:39.000 Then you got the $45 billion additional tucked into the omnibus spending bill that is yet to be approved.
00:23:47.000 So I'm curious: is there a single member of this audience?
00:23:50.000 Email mefreedom at charliekirk.com that believes supporting Ukraine is your number one priority.
00:23:56.000 Can we find a person? 0.92
00:23:59.000 This duplicity, infidelity, and disloyalty to America is unsustainable.
00:24:07.000 So Zelensky spoke in front of Congress yesterday, looking like he just got out of a gold's gym.
00:24:14.000 Now, some people are saying, oh, Charlie, come on, don't attack him for wearing military fatigues. 1.00
00:24:19.000 I 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. 1.00
00:24:39.000 It is adding insult to injury. 1.00
00:24:43.000 Let's go to this one right here.
00:24:47.000 Zelensky says, your money is not charity.
00:24:49.000 It's an investment in global security and democracy.
00:24:52.000 Oh, you mean the Ukrainian democracy that has banned entire Christian churches? 0.94
00:24:57.000 Did you know that?
00:24:59.000 Maybe you should contact your senator and say, hey, why are you supporting a country that has banned Orthodox Christianity?
00:25:05.000 Did you know that? 0.63
00:25:07.000 Play cut 61.
00:25:09.000 Thank you for boosting financial packages you have already provided us with and the ones you may be willing to decide on.
00:25:19.000 Your money is not charity, it's an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.
00:25:31.000 Democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.
00:25:35.000 Do you trust the Ukrainian government?
00:25:37.000 Republicans certainly do.
00:25:39.000 Now, all of this would be frustrating at its core if we were not also getting invaded.
00:25:46.000 We have an unprecedented invasion happening on the U.S. southern border.
00:25:51.000 Does Border Patrol get a special session of Congress?
00:25:56.000 Does the fact that thousands of people are pouring into America get any sort of attention?
00:26:04.000 Cut 23, we are being invaded, but your leaders, they're really fired up, enthusiastic to pass trillions of dollars we don't have.
00:26:15.000 No, a trillion dollars we don't have.
00:26:17.000 Let me be specific.
00:26:18.000 Make sure Zelensky gets paid.
00:26:20.000 Make sure we have gender-affirming care in the military.
00:26:23.000 The Michelle Obama trail, the new FBI building.
00:26:26.000 That is what your Republicans are doing.
00:26:29.000 Play cut 23.
00:26:30.000 Dana, it's like out of a Hollywood movie.
00:26:32.000 You know, here you have National Guardsmen putting up razor wire.
00:26:37.000 El Paso is a beautiful city.
00:26:39.000 You've got razor wire there in the airport.
00:26:41.000 You've got over 500, I was told over 500 migrants sleeping on the floor.
00:26:47.000 The El Paso School District has provided a couple of buildings that they're not using to house migrants.
00:26:55.000 The convention center is also being used.
00:26:58.000 There's talk of using Fort Bliss, which is the Army base there in El Paso.
00:27:03.000 It's out of a movie.
00:27:04.000 It's out of an apocalyptic time.
00:27:07.000 Apocalyptic time.
00:27:08.000 Oh, so what's happening on our own border in our own country is apocalyptic. 0.73
00:27:15.000 But your leaders believe that Ukraine matters more than you.
00:27:24.000 All we want is for leaders to love America more than a foreign country.
00:27:29.000 That's just a very simple ask.
00:27:31.000 I have here the United States Constitution.
00:27:33.000 The 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.
00:27:44.000 Joe Manchin, who's up for re-election, by the way, says, I'm all in.
00:27:49.000 We got to send more money to Ukraine.
00:27:50.000 Doesn't matter.
00:27:51.000 We just got to keep on going.
00:27:52.000 Play cut 58.
00:27:54.000 Yeah, that's great.
00:27:56.000 Senator, do you know how many billions we've sent to Ukraine?
00:27:59.000 We're going to send a lot more.
00:28:00.000 Yeah, you want to send more?
00:28:01.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:28:03.000 I'm all in.
00:28:04.000 You're all in?
00:28:05.000 Yeah.
00:28:05.000 Yeah, you're all in.
00:28:07.000 I'm all in.
00:28:07.000 We're just, we got to accelerate.
00:28:11.000 There is a psychological explanation for a lot of this.
00:28:16.000 For wealthy, comfortable white people, they feel this urge that there's something dirty about America.
00:28:27.000 I spend time around some of these people, not anymore.
00:28:30.000 I used to.
00:28:31.000 Aspen, Jackson Hole, San Francisco, that there's something fundamentally unclean about America.
00:28:40.000 So if we get invaded, it's fine.
00:28:41.000 But the foreign fixation is what they think can purify our land.
00:28:48.000 You think I'm kidding?
00:28:50.000 Manchin, all these people, McConnell, they are far more concerned.
00:28:55.000 In fact, they're more energized about lands and borders that are not our own.
00:29:03.000 And that is nothing new.
00:29:04.000 When a country falls apart, they always look abroad more than they look domestic.
00:29:09.000 There's no problem here. 0.99
00:29:10.000 It's not like the Goths are invading us. 0.99
00:29:15.000 The end of the year is right around the corner, and it's time for you to consider a change in your investment plan.
00:29:19.000 This is Charlie Kirk, and I strongly recommend you go right now and see my friends at PAX to review your investments.
00:29:27.000 They 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.
00:29:36.000 If we want religious liberty in our country, we have to stop investing in companies that are trying to suppress our freedoms.
00:29:43.000 I love PAX Financial.
00:29:44.000 They manage some of my money.
00:29:45.000 I trust them.
00:29:46.000 And that's why before the end of the year, you need to text the word Charlie to the number 74868.
00:29:52.000 That's Charlie to 74868.
00:29:54.000 And someone with PAX Financial Group will connect you right away.
00:29:57.000 So take out your phone, text the word Charlie to 74868.
00:30:03.000 I trust them with my money, and I think you should trust them with your money.
00:30:07.000 That is the word Charlie to 74868.
00:30:12.000 They're a great operation.
00:30:13.000 Check them out today.
00:30:17.000 The Churchill comparison, they just love it.
00:30:20.000 Scarborough says that Zelensky is in more danger than Churchill and his family ever were.
00:30:24.000 Play cut 56.
00:30:25.000 The parallels really are so extraordinary.
00:30:30.000 And so many people have looked at Churchill and Zelensky, compared the two positions that they've been in.
00:30:37.000 It's certainly not an overstatement.
00:30:39.000 In fact, the Zelenskys, the family, in more danger, most likely, than Churchill and his family ever were.
00:30:46.000 So yeah, the comparisons are pretty extraordinary.
00:30:50.000 The comparisons are pretty extraordinary.
00:30:53.000 That's a separate issue for a different time.
00:30:55.000 The team is laughing because I say that all the time.
00:30:58.000 I do not have the patience to handle that one right now, especially a week after, a couple days after Amfest.
00:31:06.000 We just closed Amfest.
00:31:08.000 We will handle the Zelensky-Churchill comparison at a later date.
00:31:12.000 Mind you, it was Churchill.
00:31:15.000 I can't resist myself.
00:31:16.000 It is Churchill who is the one that thought it was insane not to partner with Russia to defeat the Nazis.
00:31:25.000 Just a small factoid there.
00:31:28.000 Democrat Shaheen, play cut 65.
00:31:33.000 I 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.
00:31:47.000 How?
00:31:47.000 How is it good for America's national security?
00:31:49.000 Can anybody email me that freedom at charliekirk.com?
00:31:52.000 What is the American urgent national security interest of which $100 plus billion dollars, soon to be $150 billion?
00:31:59.000 Do you think that we could have better spent $150 billion on a U.S.-southern border wall?
00:32:03.000 For $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.
00:32:12.000 But instead, this omnibus bill, there's words for these people.
00:32:15.000 I'm trying not to use it.
00:32:17.000 I'll let you fill in the gaps.
00:32:19.000 Lisa Murkowski from Alaska.
00:32:21.000 Shelby from Alabama.
00:32:22.000 Tubberville from Alabama.
00:32:23.000 Boy, did Tubberville lie to us all.
00:32:25.000 That's too bad. 1.00
00:32:26.000 Boozman from Arkansas.
00:32:27.000 Tom Cotton from Arkansas.
00:32:29.000 Marco Rubio from Florida.
00:32:31.000 Chuck Grassley from Iowa.
00:32:33.000 Todd Young from Indiana.
00:32:34.000 Moran from Kansas.
00:32:36.000 McConnell from Kentucky.
00:32:38.000 Oh, there are duplicates on here.
00:32:40.000 Collins from Maine.
00:32:42.000 Blunt from Missouri.
00:32:43.000 Moran. 0.52
00:32:44.000 Okay, we already went through those.
00:32:45.000 Hyde Smith from Mississippi.
00:32:47.000 Wicker from Mississippi.
00:32:48.000 Rob Portman from Ohio.
00:32:49.000 Lady Graham from South Carolina.
00:32:52.000 Rounds from South Dakota.
00:32:53.000 Thune from South Dakota.
00:32:54.000 Cornyn from Texas.
00:32:55.000 Romney from Utah.
00:32:57.000 And Shelley Moore Capito from West Virginia.
00:33:02.000 Incredible.
00:33:03.000 In 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.
00:33:12.000 We might be unsuccessful, but we're not going to let this happen.
00:33:14.000 You vote for this omnibus.
00:33:16.000 It is a throbbing middle finger to every single one of you.
00:33:22.000 And they don't care.
00:33:23.000 If they care, they wouldn't vote this way.
00:33:25.000 They feel as if they are untouchable by these voters.
00:33:28.000 The country's going to fall apart if this continues.
00:33:31.000 And I don't mean economically, which it very well might, or monetarily, which it very well might.
00:33:36.000 I mean the everyday man is going to be so cynical about their government.
00:33:43.000 The attitude towards DC will resemble that of Nicaragua.
00:33:47.000 You talk to somebody from Honduras or Nicaragua, Brazil, or Colombia.
00:33:50.000 It's very sad when you ask them, you say, hey, you know, how are things in Bogota?
00:33:56.000 How are things in Caracas in Venezuela?
00:33:59.000 Their attitude towards their government is so nakedly cynical.
00:34:04.000 And it's so sad when you hear that.
00:34:05.000 And that's exactly what's happening here in America.
00:34:09.000 And then the defiant, repeated narrative from McConnell saying that this is the number one priority.
00:34:18.000 Your number one priority is Zelensky.
00:34:20.000 That is your number one priority.
00:34:24.000 Where this heads is very bad.
00:34:27.000 So I still, I encourage you guys to contact your senators.
00:34:30.000 I encourage you guys to do this.
00:34:31.000 This 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.
00:34:40.000 And 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.
00:34:48.000 By September, we'll be a year out from the 2024 elections.
00:34:51.000 It's too soon.
00:34:55.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:34:56.000 Email me your thoughts as always: freedom at charliekirk.com.
