00:00:44.000Email us as alwaysfreedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:10.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:57.000So the guy that's supposed to keep us out of war is on the sidelines on us on leave of absence.
00:02:02.000He himself installed one of his former employees, Ariana Tatabai, a Palestinian, excuse me, an Iranian American, as the chief of staff for the Secretary of Defense for Special Operations.
00:02:15.000She has now been caught emailing the Iranian foreign ministry while in the United States of America when her job was to advance American interest against Iranians and ask for their permission to do that job.
00:02:29.000We reported this to the Department of Defense.
00:02:31.000She still has a top secret security clearance along with code word access and is still employed there.
00:02:36.000And lastly, you have Mehar Battar, the number one intelligence operator at the White House.
00:02:42.000He's the head of intelligence programs, formerly Adam Schiff's bagman, liar of Russia Gate, is now a Palestinian pro-national, and we've got the photo for it.
00:02:52.000And he's in charge of what intelligence collection is prioritized.
00:02:56.000He is standing in a photo in front of a wall that says pro end apartheid in Israel.
00:03:03.000So how did these people ever get security clearances?
00:03:07.000I mean, and how many of them have security clearances?
00:03:09.000Actually, can you just repeat that and go through that?
00:03:26.000Mahar, specifically at the intelligence office in the National Security Council, possesses the highest security clearance there is.
00:03:34.000And the lady is chief of staff for special operations DOD is not far behind her.
00:03:39.000And Robert Malley would have had access to our most sensitive Iranian programs and collections as this presidential envoy for Iran.
00:03:47.000And somehow, two or three of them still have their security clearances.
00:03:51.000Two of three of them are still employed.
00:03:53.000And people keep asking me, how did we miss the war by Hamas?
00:03:58.000Is how you miss it when you're not looking for it and you have an Iranian.
00:04:01.000Are you suggesting that these people in the American government knew that Hamas was building up military presence and that our own government hid the intel so Jews could get killed?
00:04:12.000I think it's a little more detailed than that.
00:04:16.000Saying that there was intelligence that Hamas was going to attack Israel is like saying we have found new evidence that the cartels were going to ship drugs into the United States of America.
00:04:25.000That intel is there every day, all day long, and it's developed continuously.
00:04:30.000But when you have leadership like these individuals like Joe Biden, who tell the intelligence community our priority is climate change, our priority is the setting sun.
00:04:40.000The existential threat to the world, as John Kirby said on the lawn of the White House just two weeks ago for President Biden, is climate change.
00:04:48.000When you do that, you just move over the beams of collection and the people doing the work and they're forced off mission.
00:05:10.000I mean, I could go through the list, but we have actual foreign assets now with high-level security clearances that might be leaking and or back channeling to our enemies.
00:05:25.000Look, Semaphore and Revolver have done some fantastic reporting on this, but the Iranian initiatives that you're talking about is literally a covert operation play from the Ministry of Defense, the place that was led by Javed Zarif, one of the Ayatollah's bagmen.
00:05:40.000And what they do is they seed people in not just the United States, but other places that are enemies of Israel into positions of power.
00:05:48.000How do you ask that Ariana Tabate, the lady I said that is chief of staff at DOD special ops, how does she have a relationship with the Iranian foreign ministry and then get a job conducting special operations policy decisions at the Pentagon?
00:06:03.000She has been in communication with the Iranian initiative for a decade that we can now see going back to 2014.
00:06:10.000Then she went to work for Robert Malley and Robert Mallee, mind you, was the principal architect of Obama's JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal.
00:06:19.000These coincidences are not coincidences.
00:06:22.000These are a collateralized effort by the Iranian regime to layer in a offensive mechanism to weaken the United States.
00:06:33.000So do we have any guesses as to why Malley put on leave?
00:06:38.000Well, that's the question that everyone should be asking, Charlie.
00:06:42.000This, of all the things they could have done, Chris Ray's FBI, who unlawfully investigated me and so many other Americans while I was doing my job in Congress, stripped this person of his security clearance and provided no details of it.
00:06:57.000If they did that decision, that means there was some monumental breach of the security clearance process and his handling of classified information involving Iran.
00:07:07.000But we're never going to find out because this Congress and the House Intelligence Committee for the Republican majority has been woefully absent on this issue.
00:07:15.000Like this should be the only thing they're answering because if there was a larger leak and there are more associates involved in this Iranian infiltration, then we need to know that.
00:07:27.000Yeah, I mean, and I guess like, where is the oversight?
00:07:30.000It's completely and totally non-existent.
00:07:32.000But also, I mean, aren't these people violating the Ford Agent Registration Act?
00:07:37.000Well, they're violating so many different things.
00:07:39.000If you're working at the behest of a foreign government against American interest, if you're working at the behest of a foreign government and lobbying U.S. interests and didn't register, I mean, there's fraud, there's corruption, conspiracy, so many charges.
00:07:52.000But to me, that's secondary than the fact that these three individuals are in power, and we don't know why the most powerful of them all was removed.
00:08:02.000And he has installed the Ariana over at the DOD, and she was allowed to keep her security clearance.
00:08:33.000I hate to say that, but it seems, and look, as good as we are, you got to remember the CIA had a Russian asset infiltrate their systems for what, 15, 20 years?
00:08:46.000I think one of them just died like last month.
00:08:48.000But it's not news that they're doing this.
00:08:51.000And it's not news that the newest enemy in the modern era, Iran, has been doing this for 10, 20 years.
00:08:58.000And now they have a fresh funding cycle from the CCP and a global war distraction for Joe Biden on two fronts.
00:09:06.000And they are taking advantage of that terrain.
00:09:09.000And this does not even touch on the Brookings Institution, Middle Eastern money into university campuses, Middle Eastern money into 501c3, 501c4s, CARE, the Council for American Islamic Relations.
00:09:23.000I mean, basically what we have here is people within the American government loyal to Ukraine, Iran, Pakistan, China, all feuding with each other.
00:09:31.000America is like a colony of the entire planet, and our government represents every other country except our own.
00:10:01.000We can make a difference standing for life by giving free ultrasounds with our friends at pre-born.
00:10:06.000In a Dobbs world, states decide about abortion and so many liberal states are taking extreme stands, even allowing abortion up to literally the second before a baby is born.
00:10:17.000And in California, the demand for abortions has increased 400% in part because the state is inviting women and girls to come to California for the sole purpose of aborting their baby.
00:11:08.000And you don't have to take my word for it.
00:11:10.000DHS Secretary Mayorkis of the Biden administration admitted a couple of months ago that at least two dozen known terrorist affiliates with organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah in Iran have entered illegally through our southern border.
00:11:23.000And the DHS and the FBI do not know where they are today.
00:12:09.000The intel arm of CBP has a new bulletin out and the headline is pretty alarming.
00:12:14.000It says in bold letters right at the top, foreign fighters of Israel-Hamas conflict may be encountered at Southwest border.
00:12:21.000The Daily Caller got a copy of this material.
00:12:23.000It was distributed three days ago, and it's about Hamas, Hezbollah, or Islamic Jihad fighters exploiting the poorest border to get into the U.S. Part of the concern is that terrorists can see a ton of traffic down there.
00:12:35.000One, rather, the new number is 2.48 million encounters in a fiscal year, and among them at least 172 people from the terror watch list.
00:12:45.000So these are just people we know of, right, Cash, not the Godaways that are in the interior of the United States.
00:12:52.000These are the ones the Biden administration is telling us about.
00:12:55.000These 24 are the ones the Biden administration is saying they were encountered and lost.
00:13:00.000The Iranian regime and the CCP and the Russians are combining forces with other terrorist organizations around the world to seed these people into America because it is in their collective interest.
00:13:12.000They don't care if it's Russian, Chinese, or Iranian.
00:13:15.000They just care that they're here and they're funneling that money and system through our southern border.
00:14:02.000Yeah, look, I mean, I know a lot of those folks over there.
00:14:04.000A lot of them are my friends, but it's not like they had oversight and hyperdrive before this whole speaker debunked.
00:14:09.000And it's not like they can't continue the oversight right now.
00:14:12.000The thing they can't continue is legislating.
00:14:14.000And the ironic thing of all that is they can't continue a CR and an omnibus if they can't find a speaker, which I think is ironic since those things are actually illegal when you look at them and have been destroying America for decades.
00:14:25.000But in oversight, like the House Intelligence Committee should be just doing one thing, issuing subpoenas for the three individuals we talked about, Robert O'Malley, Mahar Battar, and Arnold.
00:15:29.000When the government used emergency edicts during COVID to restrict the gathering and worship of churches, three pastors facing the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines, and their own churches being ripped apart took a courageous stand and reopened their doors in the face of a world that chose to comply.
00:15:45.000The Essential Church is a feature-length documentary that explores the struggle between the church and government throughout history.
00:15:52.000The story uncovers those who have sacrificed their lives throughout history for what they believe in.
00:15:56.000Rediscover why the church is essential and how we prove this stand remains true from a scientific, legal, and most importantly, a theological and biblical perspective.
00:17:51.000Well, it's a film that asks a very startling question that if we had asked it just a few years ago, people would think we were nuts.
00:17:58.000They would think I was making a film about maybe China or Iran or North Korea.
00:18:03.000But suddenly we can, with all seriousness, look in the mirror and ask, is America still a free society?
00:18:10.000I mean, just go down the basic liberties in the Bill of Rights, and you'll see that every single one of them has been threatened, has been abridged.
00:18:18.000Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience or religious liberty, a right to assemble, the right to petition the government for grievances, equal rights and equal justice under the law.
00:18:28.000I mean, can we say with a straight face that even one of those basic rights is now fully secure?
00:18:48.000But actually, I think it's super appropriate because it shows that the government is so worried about political dissidents while ignoring other potential homeland threats and sleeper cells.
00:19:01.000How did U.S. intelligence, which has massive resources and all the benefits of the most modern technology, how did they have no idea that a thousand Hamas fighters were going to come into Israel, sometimes from the air, fully visible?
00:19:17.000Not only did Israel miss this, but we missed it.
00:19:20.000I think it's because our intelligence agencies have been focused domestically.
00:19:27.000Christopher Wray goes before Congress, he says domestic terrorism and domestic extremism.
00:19:33.000That is their elastic phrase to pull in you, Charlie, and Turning Point.
00:19:38.000It pulls in Reitbart, it pulls in the Heritage Foundation.
00:19:42.000So suddenly these organizations, mainstream conservatives, are seen as a bigger threat or perhaps a threat equivalent to ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
00:20:00.000And the FBI is now coming out and they deny, oh, no, we're not going after this, even though they have a separate threat assessment in a newsweek.com article.
00:20:08.000So Dinesh, I'm always curious about this when you do these projects.
00:20:11.000You come into it with probably some ideas and preconceptions.
00:20:15.000What did you learn in the process of doing this that was especially eye-opening?
00:20:21.000Well, first of all, I reframed the issue as I started looking at it.
00:20:25.000My initial thought was, are we becoming a police state?
00:20:28.000In fact, I asked my buddies over at the Rasmussen survey, Rasmussen survey, and they did a survey that showed that 75% of people approximately think we are becoming a police state.
00:20:38.000And I thought, wow, that's interesting.
00:21:29.000It is very distinctive elements here in America.
00:21:32.000And the second type of person I have in the film is ordinary Americans who have come face to face with the police state.
00:21:39.000And this is really important because there's going to be people who go, well, I'm not Donald Trump and I didn't go in the Capitol on January 6th and I pay my taxes.
00:21:47.000And so this police state has nothing to do with me.
00:21:50.000The FBI is never going to come bashing through my door.
00:21:53.000And my message to that guy is you could not be more wrong.
00:21:57.000Yeah, and it's not, the police state isn't coming.
00:22:01.000And so I guess one of the frustrations I have, Dinesh, is why are Republicans still funding this?
00:22:08.000I think Republicans, and we saw this with the Jim Jordan secret vote, that was really telling because it shows that the Republican Party is divided right down the middle.
00:22:17.000Now, it's not divided, I don't think, between people who are like conservative and or not conservative or true Republicans versus rhinos.
00:22:36.000We're now in a domestic Cold War and a new situation that calls for new tactics.
00:22:41.000And that's the MAGA wing of the Republican Party.
00:22:44.000And then you've got a kind of traditional, kind of conservative in the old operational sense, Republicans.
00:22:51.000And they basically think, oh, no, nothing's changed.
00:22:54.000Well, you know, Republicanism stands for exactly the same things as it always has.
00:22:58.000Let's not rock the boat or get too crazy around here.
00:23:01.000And this is the schism running right down the center of the Republican Party.
00:23:05.000Do you think that there are a fair amount of Republicans that are supportive of what is happening?
00:23:13.000I mean, they're almost, they want to be on the side of the regime.
00:23:16.000They want to be wearing the favorable jersey.
00:23:19.000You know, I think, Charlie, what it is, is that let's remember that this police state, weirdly enough, has a bipartisan origin.
00:23:25.000Its roots go back to the aftermath of 9-11, when a lot of people, me included, I'm ashamed to say, said at the time, you know, we got to give the government these enhanced powers because it's not just a matter of following up with detective work after a crime.
00:23:40.000You've got to prevent these things from happening before they happen.
00:23:43.000And so what even though there were people like Ron Paul and of course Rand Paul who warned, listen, don't give the government so much power.
00:23:51.000They are going to abuse it, which of course turned out to be the case.
00:23:54.000So one of the great ironies is that many of us helped to, in our own way, create a police state that has now turned around and defines us as the terrorists.
00:25:07.000I do think that if you don't have the House and the Senate and the presidency, you are obviously hampered in what kinds of legislative solutions you can have on your own.
00:25:16.000The House is in a position, though, where I think they can pursue ruthlessly the investigative paths of exposing the police state.
00:25:24.000And they need to do that at every juncture that they can.
00:25:26.000The real power right now is with governors and secretaries of state and attorneys general at the state level.
00:25:33.000If they were to bring some indictments against prominent Democrats, indict Maorca's for child trafficking in Texas, for example, that would be a good place to start.
00:25:41.000Suddenly, the left begins to feel that they too are coming under the gun.
00:25:45.000I mean, remember when Elon Musk banned some leftist journalists on Twitter for one day?
00:25:50.000The freak out, you wouldn't even believe it.
00:25:52.000They were quoting Jon Stuart Mill, raving about the benefits of free speech.
00:25:57.000So when it happens to them, they discover the virtues of constitutional liberty.
00:26:25.000The founders believed that you needed a certain architecture of government, separation of powers, checks and balances, but you also need a rational and mutual fear between the majority and the minority.
00:26:37.000Each has got to be privately terrified about what the other can do.
00:26:42.000And that creates an environment in which everyone's liberties are a little bit safer.
00:26:46.000Yeah, there needs to be an equal and opposite reaction.
00:26:50.000So Dinesh, just plug the movie one more time, how people can find it.
00:28:41.000I sent out a tweet and I said, look, I'm a Christian, and if a church gets hit in war, I consider that to be a tragedy, especially an old church that is, by some accounts, 1,700 years old.
00:29:16.000After last week's hospital fiasco, I've waited.
00:29:19.000I wanted to wait for more facts to be established.
00:29:21.000But it now seems confirmed that Israel did actually bomb a building adjacent to the church, killing Christians who were sheltering there, including family of Justin Amash, former congressman of whom I have some very spirited disagreements.
00:29:34.000I think I went after him a couple years ago.
00:29:36.000Frankly, it's wrong that there was substantially more outrage when Gaza's own militants shot their own rocket at their own hospital parking lot than when Christians died sheltering in the oldest church in Gaza.
00:29:50.000Not only that, but Hamas loves to use soft targets as staging grounds and human shields, so they can scream about Israeli atrocities after strikes.
00:29:58.000Nevertheless, I have been disappointed by Israel's response.
00:30:01.000What intelligence was Israel responding to?
00:30:03.000What target were they going after that justified putting a historic church in danger?
00:30:08.000Israel says the church blast is, quote, under investigation, but contrition and a full accounting should be the top of Israel's priority list.
00:30:15.000Israel quickly apologized recently when it mistakenly targeted an Egyptian position.
00:30:21.000Christians around the world are Israel's number one ally, and if a Christian church was targeted, we need to know exactly why and how.
00:30:28.000The building itself goes back 900 years, but it's a congregation that goes back 1,700 years.
00:30:33.000Now, let me just kind of build this out a little bit.
00:30:37.000If a Christian country was at war and mistakenly bombed a very old Israeli kibbutz that was 1700 years, that would be wrong.
00:31:34.000So you have this spread, essentially, very quickly.
00:31:39.000And people then are not sure what to believe.
00:31:44.000Justin Amash tweets out that his family was killed in this because they thought they were safe in a church.
00:31:51.000And so it's, look, the IDF needs a rapid response room on the PR front.
00:31:57.000And what I don't quite appreciate, I'll be honest, is a lack of self-awareness by some pro-Israel advocates that are quite not reading the room and say that, hey, Christians in America are not like thrilled to see news of old churches being bombed.
00:32:18.000And so some sensitivity would be someone with PR skills of the Israeli government come out and be like, wow, that's not what we intended.
00:32:31.000The attitude of some people at the top of the Israeli government and that people that I've been texting are pro-Israel is they are offended at me, at the idea that anyone would even care about this.
00:32:43.000And this doesn't change that Israel has a right to defend itself.
00:32:49.000There's Hamas to the front, Hamas to the south, Hezbollah to the north, but there is this unfolding information war.
00:32:56.000And if I could be honest, to the Israeli government, you guys are failing this information war so terribly.
00:33:03.000And then there's almost this arrogance, like, well, why do you guys care?
00:33:08.000If a 1700-year-old Jewish community was bombed and Jews were killed in a bombing of a Christian, like I'm gonna give you an example, okay?
00:33:18.000When America invaded Iraq, if there was like this super old Jewish community in Iraq that got bombed and an old, old like Jewish temple dating back to the times, I don't know, Maimonides got bombed, that would probably be news, rightfully so.
00:33:35.000Boy, Israel needs to step up its PR game big time.
