00:00:48.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:29.000Chuck Schumer, Ukraine, Hakeem Jeffries, they're negotiating over some sort of deal with Speaker Johnson to try to get Ukraine funding and border funding.
00:01:38.000And I want to take this hour to obviously cover the events that are unfolding in DC, but also let's lay out three issues that are happening right now that Republicans can run on and win on.
00:01:51.000You see, there's a lot of questions about what should the 2024 election be about?
00:01:55.000And there's several answers to that question.
00:01:58.000One of them, though, one of the answers is not one that typical Republican consultants will focus on.
00:02:09.000There are three issues sitting right in front of us that are unfolding in real time that DC politicians are afraid of tackling.
00:02:16.000And the first of which, and we're going to go through all three throughout this hour, three issues that Republicans can embrace, own, and run on to win over moderate voters, conservative voters this election year.
00:02:31.000And of course, the first one is mass migration.
00:02:34.000We talked about this at length yesterday.
00:02:37.000We talked about how mass migration creates the preconditions for a political correction.
00:02:43.000If you bring in hundreds of thousands of foreigners illegally into the country, give them airline tickets and have Border Patrol assume the role of an expedia travel agent.
00:02:55.000It starts to create rumbles in the homeland, homeland.
00:03:03.000People know that this is effectively cutting in line.
00:03:07.000I think back to times, whether it be at Six Flags Great America in Gurney, Illinois, or whether it be waiting in line to go to a sporting event or waiting in line at TSA, the angriest I see, the rank in file.
00:03:20.000There's something that hits our soul when we see people cut in line.
00:03:27.000When you see people cut in line, it doesn't take a huge explanation.
00:03:34.000You don't need some sort of rational, reasonable explanation.
00:03:39.000You could do that if necessary, but there is a primal reaction when you see an individual cut in line.
00:03:47.000There's something significantly unjust when you see an individual who did not earn it, who did not wait for it, arrive and just say, it's mine.
00:03:58.000That is happening with 10,000, 12,000, 15,000 people a day.
00:04:06.000And we're starting to see the consequence of that.
00:04:10.000Increase in crime, increase in lootings, increase in robberies.
00:04:14.000We're seeing the fentanyl, the raping, the incredible amount of public social services that are being overwhelmed and overrun.
00:04:24.000And Democrats right now, they're going all in on trying to prioritize a foreign conflict over a domestic crisis.
00:04:33.000Now, never underestimate Republicans' ability to fumble or screw up a winning political issue.
00:04:41.000Speaker Johnson, we were very critical about how this fight should have happened a couple months ago, but that's over.
00:04:51.000They are taunting you into a political judo match that you can actually win.
00:05:00.000Every public opinion poll, every conversation you have outside of the 95% Washington, D.C. incestuous, let's just say confab is pointing towards immigration being a major issue.
00:05:18.000Happening in New York City, happening in Chicago, happening in Milwaukee, happening in Detroit.
00:05:24.000Rank and file Democrats are getting ticked off that their cities are being overrun by foreigners, that they are not being prioritized.
00:05:34.000Because again, it does not take an elaborate or detailed explanation when you see somebody cut in line.
00:05:41.000If you're sitting in traffic and someone swerves into you, you get angry and you should get angry.
00:05:45.000If you're waiting to get screened by TSA and all of a sudden someone shows up and they say, oh, sorry, I'm late for my flight.
00:05:52.000Part of you has compassion, but part of you're like, well, why do you wake up earlier?
00:06:22.000He hosts a show called The Breakfast Club on New York Radio and is listened to to one of the top black political podcasts out there.
00:06:31.000And he's very, very well respected in the black community.
00:06:34.000I have, I honestly, I think he has some hope.
00:06:37.000I have some hope for Charlemagne the God.
00:06:39.000At times, he'll be a regime type puppet and spokesperson, but he pushes back against people like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.
00:06:47.000In fact, Hillary Clinton had one of the most embarrassing dialogues of her political career with Charlemagne the God, the whole hot sauce thing.
00:06:55.000And so I have hope for Charlemagne the God.
00:06:57.000I think that he's going to really be more and more of a free thinker, especially as we continue to move the Overton window.
00:07:24.000Nestle have never spoken to as many people who are concerned about the migrant issue as I have, you know, over the past year.
00:07:33.000They took 2,000 migrants and put them into school and made the schools stay home, made the students stay home and, you know, do school via Zoom.
00:07:45.000Like, I mean, people were calling the radio station.
00:07:47.000That was just this week, you know, really, really, really complaining about that.
00:07:51.000I've never seen, you know, working class people who I interact with every day until this past year really, really, really express their frustration.
00:08:34.000The other New York senator or the other New York representative, Chuck Schumer, who doesn't care because he doesn't listen to the rank and file like Charlemagne the God does.
00:08:46.000Listen to Chuck Yu Schumer, who says we must fund a foreign proxy war, despite the fact that there is a metaphorical genocide of young Ukrainian men happening in Ukraine.
00:09:22.000The only way we will do border and Ukraine, or even either of them, is bipartisan.
00:09:29.000You cannot, cannot do things with one party in a divided Congress.
00:09:35.000And I think there was broad agreement in the room that we had to drew this in a bipartisan way.
00:09:40.000Speaking in the Senate, we are making really good progress.
00:09:44.000I am more optimistic now that we can come to an agreement on border and Ukraine in one package, along with aid to Israel, along with humanitarian aid for the Palestinians in Gaza, and along with helping us Indochina.
00:09:57.000I just want to say, we need to really accelerate the push here.
00:10:04.000The fact that Chuck Yu Schumer is even acknowledging that the border needs to be addressed is a major, major media win, and we should exploit that.
00:10:13.000Chuck Schumer made a mistake, and he knows it.
00:10:15.000The Democrats are most successful when they don't acknowledge reality.
00:10:19.000They just say, oh, the border's not a problem.

00:11:23.000Traditional Republican consultants will tell you you can't win on immigration.
00:11:27.000It is a Democrat advantage issue, and they could not be more mistaken.
00:11:32.000Now, maybe amongst the open border Chamber of Commerce crowd of hotels that want to have unlimited amounts of cheap labor coming into the country or Walmart at the money desk where they want to have remittances, if you know what that word means, means that they're sending back billions of dollars a month of the Walmart money desk back to their native country.
00:11:55.000Walmart is one of the great beneficiaries of the open border crisis in this country.
00:12:03.000Just one example is the Walmart Money Desk, the Walmart currency money desk.
00:12:08.000They set this up like a couple decades ago.
00:12:10.000So if you're an illegal, you come into this country, you get your hands on some money, maybe you're a Chilean, Chilean thief and you go rob a couple homes, which is happening like crazy, or you're a Venezuelan thief and you get some cash and you want to send it back home, you go to the Walmart money desk, the Walmart currency desk.
00:12:25.000And they'll take 2%, 3%, 5% to just send the money from Houston, Texas to Caracas or Houston, Texas to Santiago, Chile, or Houston, Texas to Caracas, Colombia, or whatever.
00:13:05.000The fact that Chuck Schumer is trying to wrap all this other stuff together, he's making a strategic mistake, one that I would not expect out of him.
00:13:14.000I hope Speaker Johnson takes this opportunity to call Chuck Yu Schumer's bluff.
00:13:24.000Speaker Johnson has a great opportunity, and all the House Republicans have an opportunity to isolate the border crisis invasion, the great replacement happening on the southern border, to isolate that issue and say, all those other things we could do single subject bills on, Chuck Schumer.
00:13:51.000But the border, we're not going to loop into this other stuff.
00:13:54.000And the reason why, again, this is the trick of D.C., the more things you loop into a bill, the harder it is for members of Congress to vote against it because there might be 5% of the bill that is really necessary.
00:14:08.000And then if you vote against it, they'll run these ads and they'll say, you know, Congressman XYZ voted against aid to Israel, which is not totally true because it's only 5% of a 95% garbage bill.
00:14:21.000Holding the border hostage for your nonsense is evil.
00:15:29.000They blame Joe Biden for what's happening on the southern border.
00:15:33.000They blame Democrats what's happening on the southern border.
00:15:35.000And make no mistake, what they consider to be a southern border solution is nothing more than more money for the Expedia Travel Agency so that illegals can get further into the interior.
00:15:47.000Work permits, which is amnesty for the people that have broke our laws, broke our customs, and cut in line the border jumpers and the line cutters.
00:15:56.000Polls show citizens want to end this invasion.
00:16:00.000So as we articulate the three issues that we believe that can define the 2024 election that other people tend to ignore, this is a primary one.
00:16:36.000At this point, the way that things are trending, the invasion is so out of control, Schumer and Biden will receive the blame for a shutdown.
00:18:24.000No, we actually believe the border is such a clear and present danger to the homeland that we want the issue solved.
00:18:32.000The politics aside, the Democrats, they want the border open because it politically helps them in the long term, in their belief.
00:18:41.000The more third worlders, the more destabilization, the closer they can get towards socialized health care, property confiscation, voters that fit their mold.
00:18:51.000The less white the country becomes, the more excited they become.
00:19:52.000And by the way, Speaker Johnson, what a chance for redemption.
00:19:56.000We've been really tough on you, Speaker Johnson.
00:19:58.000I'm willing to put all that aside and say, if you can hit a home run here, I'll be your biggest fan.
00:20:03.000Speaker Johnson, I am willing to see, really, if you hit a home run here, this program, this audience will forgive all of your missteps and your cowardice the last couple months and will say forward, onward.
00:20:15.000Speaker Johnson's actually been talking a good game.
00:20:17.000He went on Dylan Mulvaney's program on CNN.
00:21:19.000So Chuck Schumer's trying to get his Ukraine thing together.
00:21:22.000He's trying to make this a bipartisan.
00:21:23.000Oh, Republicans, they are signaling to you that for the first time of this congressional session, they are nervous and they know advantage Republicans, advantage Republicans.
00:21:53.000House Republicans will continue to demand transformative policy change and hold this administration accountable until the border is secure.
00:22:02.000You got to go one step further though, Speaker Johnson.
00:22:46.000And Speaker Johnson can go into the media and say, when I took over the speakership in the fall, you know, I was trying to get my feet underneath me.
00:22:53.000We did some CRs and the Democrats lied and the Democrats lied.
00:22:58.000This is a rare opportunity where a shutdown could actually make Republicans more popular because the Democrats will look like the open border obstructionists that they are.
00:23:06.000And understand, the Democrats are so connected to the open border agenda.
00:23:56.000Their messaging is all over the place.
00:23:58.000When the Democrats are fumbling like this, when the Democrats are shaking and are over the place, this is where we must seize.
00:24:06.000And Speaker Johnson messed up all this other previous CR should have worked through Thanksgiving and Christmas, but now he has a moral high ground.
00:24:42.000I spent obviously a good amount of time on that.
00:24:44.000The second one that I want to zone in, zero in on here, which is super important, is affirmative action.
00:24:49.000Democrats continuing on this open border agenda while also simultaneously saying that we want to try to no longer be a country of excellence, no longer build a country based on merit, no longer build a country based on the core ideas and not have everybody be race obsessed is not popular.
00:25:12.000In fact, a new poll came out yesterday.
00:25:29.000So the Democrats are now going all in on two and soon to be three of the core issues of 2024 where they are super enthusiastic about it and the people are way on the other side of the issue.
00:25:41.000The second of which is racial preferential treatment, including corporate America.
00:25:47.000And the one that has been going viral lately that we haven't really talked about is the CEO of United Airlines saying that we care about diversity.
00:26:17.000The CEO of United Airlines last month, the CEO, he announced of all the hiring for all the new pilots that are coming up this year, all the hiring for the new pilots, the main focus is going to be diversity.
00:27:14.000We're not going to have a ton of time on this, but the Democrats have gone all in because of special interests and because of ideology on open borders, DEI, and chemical castration of children.
00:27:26.000Republican consultants, because they're afraid of being called bad names by the media, are typically afraid of these three issues.
00:27:34.000So I get asked all the time, Charlie, how do we counter the abortion fanaticism of the left?
00:28:20.000And they come from different traditions.
00:28:21.000Open borders is the death of nationalism and borders and self-government, and they want to obliterate Western civilization.
00:28:28.000DEI comes from critical theory and anti-white, anti-colonialist, anti-Western sentiments, and they kind of play parlay with each other.
00:28:35.000The chemical castration one is all about the removal of sexual innocence of children.
00:28:39.000It comes from John Money and Kinsey and these very, very bad people in the 20th century that talked about how kids have no sexual innocence and we must get rid of this idea that kids are not sexual beings.
00:28:51.000And Kinsey talked about this at length and he's honored at Indiana University.
00:28:55.000These are not popular with mainstream people.
00:29:07.000But these three issues can build consensus.
00:29:11.000Because one issue is probably not enough to overcome the abortion issue.
00:29:14.000But all of a sudden, if you say, hey, vote Republican and we're going to close your border and stop the invasion.
00:29:19.000Vote Republican and we're going to restore merit.
00:29:22.000Vote Republican and we'll make sure that your 15-year-old can't be medically kidnapped from you and have their parts chopped off from you, from them.
00:29:30.000Vote Republican and we'll protect your children from creeps.
00:29:33.000What I'm getting at is the issues set in front of us in 2024, in addition to law fair and all this other stuff that Trump is so good at talking about, is advantage Republicans.
00:29:48.000You get the Venezuelan thieves and the Chilean thieves and the gang rapists that we're seeing and all that.
00:29:53.000But also, DEI is directly correlated with letting criminals out the next day and not prosecuting black criminals.
00:30:04.000Look, politics needs to be viewed like a military campaign.
00:30:07.000Pick the terrain that favors you and attack your enemy where they are weak.
00:30:12.000And if we just listen to Karl Rove on TV, oh, well, you know, Donald Trump should just run on non-controversial issues like tax cuts and regulatory cuts.
00:30:20.000I don't think we should ignore the economy.
00:31:01.000Hey, diversity is our strength, right?
00:31:03.000You know that the FAA says that we must have people that I want to make sure that like learning disabilities as flight controllers, learning disabilities.
00:31:13.000I think it doesn't take a lot of explanation.
00:31:17.000If you have to go into surgery and the surgeon comes in and it's a black lesbian and you're respectful, hey, you know, what's your experience?
00:31:55.000So what I'm getting at is that Republicans, you've been given a gift.
00:31:58.000You've been given a gift of the overreach of the ideological Democrats, but it requires you to shed the muscle memory and to ignore the Republican consultants that live in D.C. that don't actually talk to the heartland of the country.
00:32:12.000If you oppose the invasion, if you oppose DEI and want merit, and you oppose that children should have their breasts cut off because they say they have a different gender, you will be surprisingly successful politically and build a coalition that can win for generations to come.
00:32:31.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
