00:00:16.000 Here we go.

00:00:17.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:19.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:21.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:24.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:27.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:28.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:30.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:31.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:38.000 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.

00:00:47.000 That's why we are here.

00:00:50.000 Brought to you by my friends, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, 888, 888, 1172, or AndrewandTodd.com.

00:01:00.000 Joining us now is the transphobe of the year 2022, someone who is considered to be dangerous because he tells the truth. 1.00

00:01:08.000 I have an amazing amount of respect and admiration for this man.

00:01:12.000 Matt Walsh joins us now.

00:01:13.000 Matt, welcome to the program.

00:01:14.000 Matt, this has been Charlie.

00:01:16.000 This has been an awful week.

00:01:18.000 And I want to read one of your tweets here because I think it's important. 0.97

00:01:21.000 You say, quote, trans activists believe that those who oppose them should die.

00:01:25.000 I know this because a great many of them have told me this.

00:01:27.000 They have communicated the message to me and my family in many ways.

00:01:30.000 They think their right to affirmation supersedes your right to live.

00:01:33.000 Matt, I completely agree.

00:01:34.000 Some of the nastiest interactions and death threats I receive are from the trans world. 1.00

00:01:40.000 Matt, how should we think about all of this?

00:01:42.000 Yeah, I think this is something that people are maybe beginning to understand.

00:01:48.000 Look, obviously, in our culture these days, if you take a stand on any topic, and if your stand happens to be correct, then you're guaranteed to get pushback.

00:01:59.000 And the bigger your platform, the more visible you are, then the greater the pushback will be.

00:02:04.000 So we know that.

00:02:05.000 But when it comes to the trans issue, it just is different.

00:02:08.000 It is different.

00:02:08.000 There's a kind of, there's just the intensity, the evil behind it.

00:02:12.000 And the way that they feel, the people that come after you, trans activists, they feel absolutely entitled to say and do anything at all to shut you down, silence you, intimidate you. 0.98

00:02:25.000 And they feel entitled to do it because they've been told by society, by our institutions that they've been implicitly and sometimes explicitly encouraged to act out this way.

00:02:36.000 I also think it's different because there's this notion that your self-identity, your self-perception, it's who you really are.

00:02:46.000 So a man who identifies as a woman, well, this is my identification as a woman.

00:02:50.000 That's who I actually am.

00:02:51.000 So if you come along and I identify as a woman and you come along and refuse to go along with that, you don't affirm it because you instead affirm reality.

00:03:01.000 Well, now you're compromising my self-perception, which is who I believe I am.

00:03:06.000 So it's almost like an act of murder against my perceived version of myself, which they think gives them the right to act in self-defense, even to the point of violence.

00:03:18.000 And this is a widespread issue.

00:03:20.000 I hope our audience caught that.

00:03:22.000 So they believe and they are taught by professors, the institutions, mass media, Hollywood, the social contagion of TikTok.

00:03:31.000 They are taught that if somebody believes that there are only two sexes and you can't have an imaginary existence, a delusion, that is an act of genocide.

00:03:40.000 Is that where that term, the trans genocide comes from, Matt?

00:03:45.000 Yeah, that is where it comes from because it certainly doesn't come from any actual epidemic of murders.

00:03:51.000 Look, you know, anti-trans murders.

00:03:53.000 I think, and the Daily Wire had a report about this recently.

00:03:56.000 The FBI, their most recent year available for data on this is 2021.

00:04:01.000 And if you go to the FBI data on hate crimes, you know, what the FBI considers hate crimes in 2021, you're going to find that there were, according to the FBI, two anti-trans hate crime murders in the year of 2021.

00:04:16.000 Two.

00:04:17.000 Yeah.

00:04:17.000 Two.

00:04:18.000 And like pretty much any other demographic group was the victim of hate crime murders more often than that, more often than two.

00:04:26.000 So that's not what they're referring to.

00:04:28.000 Two is not a genocide.

00:04:30.000 What they're actually referring to is our assault on their self-perception.

00:04:37.000 So if you simply say something that they disagree with, if you say something that contradicts gender ideology, then that itself is an act of genocide because you're compromising and calling into question their self-perception.

00:04:50.000 Matt, you've been so persuasive on this topic.

00:04:52.000 The film, What is a Woman, is one of the best I've ever seen, not just in this genre, but more broadly.

00:04:58.000 However, some people, Matt, and I think you're moving the Overton window, they feel uncomfortable because they'll say this, but why do I care what you believe with yourself?

00:05:06.000 You know, why would I care if a man thinks he's a woman? 0.99

00:05:09.000 And your response is, well, first, I care about the truth.

00:05:11.000 And secondly, that's not what we're debating here, actually.

00:05:14.000 We're not debating somebody's own personal imagination in their bedroom.

00:05:19.000 What we are debating is why do we have to reconfigure society and accommodate your delusion so that ordinary people have to change our customs, our code of conduct, our language, how we raise our children to pander to an ever-radical mentally unstable minority. 0.67

00:05:36.000 Right, exactly.

00:05:37.000 If this was actually just an issue of people in their own homes who are perceiving themselves a certain way, then obviously, you know, what you, the thoughts you have in your, your head, that's not, that doesn't automatically become an issue for anybody else until you decide to make it an issue for everybody else.

00:05:53.000 And that's what they demand.

00:05:54.000 Look, the trans movement, the gender ideology movement, they, if this is not clear by now, I don't know when it will become clear.

00:06:03.000 They will not allow you to not care.

00:06:05.000 That's not an option they're leaving on the table.

00:06:07.000 What they're saying is, no, you need to care about this.

00:06:12.000 This is relevant to your life, but here's what you need to think about it and say about it.

00:06:16.000 So they want you to care about it in a certain way and come to certain conclusions.

00:06:21.000 And they're not leaving any other option.

00:06:24.000 This is just the gauntlet has been laid down long ago.

00:06:27.000 Neutrality is not an option is what they always will say.

00:06:30.000 This idea of live and let live, it's really live and let them rule is what it is, is that they want to be in power.

00:06:35.000 It's tyrannical at its core.

00:06:38.000 And so, Matt, you're under a lot of attack right now.

00:06:42.000 Boy, the attacks against us have increased the last 24 to 48 hours.

00:06:45.000 What is this trans day of vengeance? 1.00

00:06:48.000 What we saw in Nashville and the information really shows that the social contagion can result in dead children and dead adults.

00:06:57.000 And if somebody believes that all these lies are permeating, then mentally unstable people might actually take up arms and kill innocents.

00:07:04.000 Is that a fair way to summarize this?

00:07:07.000 Yeah, I think it is.

00:07:08.000 And yeah, the trans day of vengeance, which I first started hearing about this week, but apparently has been planned for, you know, weeks ago, when there was first reports circulating about some sort of day of vengeance, I think it's sort of unclear about what that even means.

00:07:22.000 Like anytime, anytime on the left, anytime they say anything, it's always unclear what they mean.

00:07:27.000 So, and it's also, in this case, it's meant to be.

00:07:29.000 It's got it, yeah, it's a day of vengeance.

00:07:31.000 Well, what do you mean vengeance?

00:07:33.000 Well, you know, interpret it how you like.

00:07:34.000 That's what they're saying to whoever might participate in this.

00:07:37.000 So it is a very not so subtle kind of wink, wink, nudge, nudge thing of, you know, vengeance.

00:07:44.000 Just take vengeance for whatever crime you think has been committed against you.

00:07:49.000 And, you know, there have been, there's been some chatter of people that they say, well, maybe the trans day of vengeance should happen outside of Daily Wire headquarters.

00:07:55.000 So, I don't know what's going to happen.

00:07:56.000 Look, I get just like I know you do, there are a lot of threats that come in all the time.

00:08:01.000 And fortunately, the vast majority of them are from people that are, you know, stereotypical in their mom's basements kind of thing.

00:08:08.000 They're not going to do anything.

00:08:09.000 But you never know when it's actually real.

00:08:13.000 And so, we'll see what happens with this one.

00:08:15.000 You say, Here, I came to the conclusion years ago that the trans movement is the greatest evil our country faces. 1.00

00:08:22.000 I only become more and more sure of this fact with each passing day and more and more determined to oppose it until my last breath.

00:08:28.000 Matt, for the people that aren't persuaded, how is this the greatest evil we face?

00:08:33.000 Well, because what are they going after?

00:08:35.000 You know, they are, as we just talked about, they're going after, first of all, truth at such a fundamental level.

00:08:41.000 They want to, you know, they want to change how society understands and perceives reality itself.

00:08:50.000 And so, this is not something out on the fringes.

00:08:53.000 This is not just like an issue.

00:08:55.000 This is they're going after truth itself, and they're doing it.

00:08:59.000 They're doing it to start with by going after our children because they know that our children are the most susceptible.

00:09:06.000 They know that it's oftentimes it's going to be a tough sell.

00:09:08.000 If you go to an adult who's lived in reality his whole life and who understands men are men and women are women, to go to somebody like that and try to convince them to just abandon all of that is not always going to be easy.

00:09:18.000 Now, Democrat politicians, Joe Biden was willing to do it because, well, because he has dementia, but many Democrat politicians are willing to do it because they have political stake in it.

00:09:26.000 But if you're going to a normal person, that's going to be a tough sell.

00:09:30.000 Children, on the other hand, have very little understanding of reality.

00:09:33.000 And so, if you can get to them and you can get to them young, then they become your kind of disciples for this madness.

00:09:40.000 And so, it's the way that it goes after truth and it's the way that it uniquely attacks our children that I think makes it a threat, you know, unlike anything else that we face in modern society.

00:09:52.000 One of the most powerful moments of your film, Matt, is when you're talking to that freak from Boston, that gender-affirming care.

00:09:57.000 I don't know how you got her to agree to an interview.

00:09:59.000 And you ask her, Well, what about somebody who believes, I think, Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus or whatever, right?

00:10:04.000 And what she said was so chilling.

00:10:05.000 She said, Well, it's true to them.

00:10:09.000 And that is so revealing.

00:10:11.000 It goes to show that objective reality is completely immaterial, that the imagination of the being supersedes what actually exists.

00:10:22.000 This is a war on existence as we know it, period.

00:10:26.000 It cannot get more fundamental.

00:10:27.000 The trans thing is just in some ways kind of just a manifestation of this, but it's a question of what is true, what is a lie. 0.99

00:10:35.000 It determines the entire civilization.

00:10:40.000 Look, are you concerned about the American K-12 education system?

00:10:44.000 Are you worried about what your children and your grandchildren are learning or honestly not learning in school?

00:10:49.000 If you answer yes, my friends at Hillsdale College have a free resource for you.

00:11:44.000 I'm an enthusiastic promoter of them.

00:11:46.000 So check it out right now at charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:52.000 So, Matt, I want to read a headline here.

00:11:54.000 This is so predictable.

00:11:55.000 And I know you predicted it.

00:11:56.000 And here it is.

00:11:57.000 NBC News.

00:11:58.000 Fear pervades the Tennessee trans community amid focus on Nashville shooters' gender identity.

00:12:03.000 Matt, they're more worried about the feelings of trans people and the proper gender pronouns than six dead Christians, Matt.

00:12:12.000 Yeah, this is the victim narrative that they absolutely can't, they can't let go of it.

00:12:16.000 And so, you know, no matter what happens, it's kind of, we, we, you can make a joke about it in other contexts when there's not dead children that we're talking about, but it's like they tell us that climate change is going to extinguish all life on earth in the next 12 years and women and minorities most impacted.

00:12:34.000 So they're always, no matter what happens, it's always, well, it most affects our preferred marginalized group.

00:12:40.000 And they're taking that principle and they're applying it here when it's especially grotesque given what happened.

00:12:46.000 And they're also helped in this attempt, as absurd as it is, to somehow make trans people a victim by at the same time, sort of given an assist by the Nashville police, in my view, refusing to release the manifesto of the shooter.

00:13:00.000 Now, I think it's very clear, obviously, what happened and why it happened.

00:13:07.000 But we're also told that it was laid out in writing and we deserve to see it laid out in writing.

00:13:11.000 But you've got LGBT groups that I think it was Newsweek reported, LGBT groups are actively campaigning against the release of the manifesto.

00:13:20.000 It reveals that there actually might be elements of their mafia and their cartel that want us dead.

00:13:26.000 Right.

00:13:27.000 Well, I think what it will reveal is that not only was this, as we can guess, a targeted attack against Christians.

00:13:34.000 They already told us that, but that this person was radicalized by a lot of this rhetoric from these same LGBT groups.

00:13:41.000 I mean, they're the ones always warning about people being radicalized by rhetoric, and they always focus that on the right wing.

00:13:47.000 Well, when you go around, look, when you take people who already are, you know, have troubles, let's just say, and they're already confused and they're already in a state of despair and confusion and all the rest of it. 0.77

00:13:58.000 And then you tell them that there's a genocide, that these people want you dead, that they're going to kill you.

00:14:04.000 You know, that has a certain effect, and I believe it's an intended effect.

00:14:07.000 And they don't want us to see that all written out as it apparently was.

00:14:11.000 We're short on time.

00:14:12.000 I'm just, so many of the words they use, Matt, is similar to the lexicon that we used to use about Islamists radicalizing young men to become terrorists.

00:14:23.000 It's so similar, right?

00:14:24.000 Radicalization, the whole world is against you, preying on isolated people.

00:14:28.000 So there's something there.

00:14:29.000 I'm not really sure what it is that we can unpack.

00:14:32.000 But more importantly, Matt, we are receiving emails of an attitude now of timidity.

00:14:37.000 Some of our audience knows this is evil, but they say, Charlie, I'm afraid to now speak out against it.

00:14:42.000 These people seem more violent than ever.

00:14:44.000 They seem more belligerent than ever.

00:14:46.000 This seems to just get to a culture war temperature.

00:14:48.000 I'm not comfortable with.

00:14:49.000 Matt, what should we do?

00:14:50.000 How should we respond?

00:14:51.000 My attitude is we have to lean in and we have to say this is the fight of our time and we're not going to be intimidated by terrorists regardless of where they come from.

00:15:01.000 Yeah, I mean, 100%, our response should be to double down, to triple down.

00:15:06.000 That always should be your response when the left tries to intimidate you.

00:15:09.000 And especially now, you just have to decide what kind of society do you want to live in and live in.

00:15:14.000 And more specifically, do you want to give up?

00:15:16.000 Are you just giving up on civilization?

00:15:17.000 Is that what you're going to do?

00:15:18.000 Are you going to say it's not worth the fight?

00:15:20.000 And if fighting for civilization is not worth the fight, then what's the point of anything anymore?

00:15:25.000 Because that's, you know, if individually we all decide, well, I don't want to be the one to speak up.

00:15:29.000 I'm going to let someone else do it.

00:15:31.000 You're just, it's a domino effect.

00:15:32.000 You're making it harder and harder for the next person because they feel more isolated.

00:15:36.000 Then they give up.

00:15:36.000 And then the next person gives up.

00:15:38.000 And then we lose everything.

00:15:39.000 So there's no point anymore.

00:15:42.000 So we all have to, there is strength in numbers.

00:15:45.000 And I do believe that we have team sanity and team rationality.

00:15:50.000 I believe that we do have the numbers on our side, but it doesn't mean anything if we don't speak up.

00:15:56.000 And so we have to.

00:15:57.000 I'm afraid this could get really out of control if good people don't stand against it.

00:16:01.000 The media is going to move on from this story almost immediately.

00:16:03.000 The New York Times issued an apology and a correction where they say, we're sorry, we misgendered this person.

00:16:09.000 One minute remaining, Matt.

00:16:11.000 What broken moral universe does that come from where pronouns matter more than dead children? 0.99

00:16:17.000 Where does that come from?

00:16:19.000 Comes from the moral universe of relativism, which is where all this, which is really the ultimate project of the left, is relativism, is a world where truth is entirely relative to the whims of the individual and to your ego.

00:16:30.000 And that's why they care so much about the trans stuff.

00:16:33.000 It's not even the trans stuff at the bottom of all this. 0.87

00:16:35.000 It's actually the relativistic project that they have for our culture.

00:16:39.000 And I think that's where it all comes from.

00:16:41.000 Relativism will lead you to totalitarianism.

00:16:43.000 They are cousins.

00:16:44.000 They are one to the other.

00:16:46.000 They're gateways.

00:16:47.000 If you have everybody believing what is right in their own eyes, it says in the scriptures, you will get a despot.

00:16:51.000 And that is what some of these people want, not all of them.

00:16:54.000 It has tyrannical undercurrents.

00:16:56.000 Matt, great work.

00:16:57.000 Keep the fight.

00:16:58.000 Thanks so much.

00:18:04.000 Joining us now is the great Lauren Bobert from Colorado.

00:18:08.000 Lauren, welcome to the program.

00:18:10.000 I wanted to ask a very simple question.

00:18:12.000 What is the purpose of the Second Amendment?

00:18:14.000 Why do we have it and why should we defend it?

00:18:17.000 The purpose of the Second Amendment is, of course, to defend life and protect us from tyranny.

00:18:23.000 That is what our founders intended.

00:18:25.000 They didn't want a tyrannical government that was infringing on all of our other God-given rights.

00:18:31.000 And they wanted us to have the ability to defend ourselves at all costs.

00:18:37.000 And, you know, we don't often hear the stories of the good guy with a gun.

00:18:42.000 The mainstream media that's been hijacked by progressive woke liberals only want to talk about the deranged bad guys with guns.

00:18:51.000 But firearms are a great deterrent and a great protector of life, which is so sacred and something that the left seems to disregard and really just use it for political theater when it fits their narrative rather than actually protecting life when it comes to,

00:19:14.000 let's say, in the womb, let's say policies that don't hurt your way of life and cause people to go into poverty.

00:19:24.000 You know, there's so many things that the left does that actually hinders life and doesn't protect it, but they're all about protecting the elites and fitting their narrative.

00:19:34.000 But the Second Amendment ultimately is our self-defense to protect ourselves from crazy people and a tyrannical government.

00:19:44.000 That's exactly right.

00:19:45.000 And I want to commend you for your courage, Lauren, for saying that.

00:19:49.000 Again, we don't find any sort of joy in saying government could one day get tyrannical, but history is history.

00:19:54.000 Last hundred years shows 150 million people slaughtered because they were disarmed.

00:19:59.000 We pray it would never come to that.

00:20:00.000 We don't think we're anywhere near that.

00:20:02.000 But people need the ability to defend themselves against a tyrannical usurpatious government.

00:20:07.000 And so you're exactly right.

00:20:08.000 So, Lauren, we're seeing the gun grabbers going into full gear.

00:20:11.000 Let's just play a couple pieces of tape here.

00:20:13.000 Let's go to, I haven't even heard this one yet.

00:20:16.000 Joe Scarborough, let's go to Cut 52 and you could respond to Morning Joe, Mika and Joe, play Cut 52.

00:20:22.000 They're talking about a freedom that they've made up in their own twisted heads because they've been whipped into a paranoid frenzy by the NRA for 25 years.

00:20:32.000 You know, now they're claiming the Second Amendment protects things it just doesn't protect.

00:20:37.000 And their position, let's be clear: the Republican Party says waging a war on cops, right?

00:20:43.000 Those cops that you saw in that incredible body cam footage, those cops would probably love to be running in on a knife, a knife incident.

00:20:55.000 Lauren, did we just invent this out of thin air because of a paranoid frenzy?

00:21:00.000 Your response?

00:21:01.000 Right.

00:21:01.000 This made up freedom.

00:21:03.000 I don't think that defending one's life is a made-up freedom.

00:21:08.000 It's right there in the preamble.

00:21:10.000 We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or personal property, whichever rendition or whatever version you want to go by.

00:21:20.000 But also, this is an assault on cops.

00:21:22.000 Are you kidding me?

00:21:24.000 The party of defund the police, they don't want police.

00:21:27.000 We just had a committee hearing today with the DC council members who have cut the Metropolitan Police Department's budget here in Washington, D.C. by over $60 million in three fiscal years.

00:21:40.000 They are the ones who are waging this war on our police officers, limiting them the ability to do their jobs, to do it effectively.

00:21:50.000 They want to get rid of them, you know, unless it's Corey Bush, who only wants her own personal private security that she can pay for with campaign contributions. 1.00

00:21:59.000 She's not going to pay for it out of her own pocket, but it's okay for her to have police officers protect herself, but not anyone else.

00:22:06.000 We're going to defund the rest of them.

00:22:09.000 This is absolute nonsense.

00:22:11.000 And, you know, we could go into statistics with stabbings that take place. 0.89

00:22:15.000 If it was a knife, then the left would be outraged over something else that they're making up.

00:22:20.000 Like, oh, it was only a knife.

00:22:22.000 They didn't have to use deadly force.

00:22:25.000 So the narrative would just shift however they wanted to do so.

00:22:31.000 I am so proud that those officers were there, that they engaged, that they didn't run like cowards like we saw in Uvalde at the horrible school shooting there.

00:22:40.000 They went in, they assessed the threat, and they terminated the threat as should be.

00:22:46.000 And so I commend these police officers.

00:22:48.000 They are heroes.

00:22:50.000 There would have been much more, many more casualties had they not had the bravery to go in and do their job, do what they swore to do to protect and serve their community.

00:23:00.000 I'll play another piece of tape here.

00:23:02.000 It's sickening to watch Republicans claim freedom on guns play cut 53.

00:23:09.000 More people go buy guns.

00:23:11.000 More people then acquire the kind of ideology of wanting to protect their guns.

00:23:16.000 And then more people see big problems in their lives that government can't solve and get demoralized about government, which helps this extremist right ideology.

00:23:27.000 And it is sickening to watch them try to claim the idea of freedom.

00:23:32.000 Is that guy from The Hunger Games?

00:23:35.000 Right.

00:23:36.000 You know, we've seen a lot of our government immigrating, unfortunately.

00:23:42.000 Look, Charlie, I'm 5'0, 100 pounds.

00:23:45.000 I have to be able to protect myself with something more than just my fists.

00:23:49.000 I mean, look, I've been working out in the gym, but that ain't going to cut it against a larger potential aggressor.

00:23:55.000 I need something to protect myself and to preserve the rest of my freedoms.

00:24:00.000 This right that we have to have firearms, to bear firearms, to carry them.

00:24:06.000 This isn't something that's given to us by politicians. 0.86

00:24:09.000 And it's these greedy, corrupt politicians that know nothing about firearms.

00:24:13.000 They're the ones who are trying to take this right away from law-abiding citizens.

00:24:17.000 Even the bureaucrats, we see with the ATF rule, they want to make millions of Americans felons for an accessory to a firearm.

00:24:26.000 All of this is an overreach of power.

00:24:28.000 And the Democrats are just completely disillusioned with this when it comes to firearms and freedoms and what our rights actually are.

00:24:37.000 They think they are the granters of our rights.

00:24:40.000 And that's why I am proud to serve a higher being than any government-elected official or unelected bureaucrat.

00:24:47.000 I serve the creator, and I know that that is where my rights come from.

00:24:52.000 And he is not going to take those rights away from me like a corrupt politician would.

00:24:57.000 But this is something that they get wrong time and time again.

00:25:01.000 They are fine to have firearms preserve their life, but they don't want the average Joe walking down the street to be able to do the same.

00:25:09.000 We saw that with Nancy Pelosi when she had the fences up around the United States Capitol building with miles of razor wire and tens of thousands of armed National Guards.

00:25:20.000 Why?

00:25:21.000 Walls work.

00:25:22.000 Armed securities work.

00:25:23.000 It's a deterrent.

00:25:24.000 It's a protector.

00:25:25.000 And it is our rights as American citizens to have that.

00:25:30.000 Otherwise, we are just subjects of a corrupt government.

00:25:33.000 I completely agree.

00:25:34.000 By the way, it is the Hunger Games guy.

00:25:35.000 Show up the picture.

00:25:36.000 I don't think they've ever been seen in the same place.

00:25:41.000 Number one, no, show the second one.

00:25:44.000 The other version.

00:25:45.000 You got to show it.

00:25:46.000 Anyway, okay, I want to go to another topic here, Lauren.

00:25:50.000 Our friend Ted Cruz was fabulous in front of Congress holding the Biden regime accountable on the border invasion that is happening.

00:25:59.000 It's a longer clip.

00:26:00.000 I'm going to play it than I want you to riff on it in the couple minutes we have remaining.

00:26:03.000 Play cut 56, please.

00:26:06.000 What are these wristbands?

00:26:08.000 I don't know what they are.

00:26:09.000 You don't know what they are.

00:26:11.000 Mr. Secretary, you have just testified to the American people you're incompetent at your job.

00:26:15.000 The drug cartels, every color corresponds to how many thousands of dollars they owe the cartels.

00:26:20.000 You have turned these cartels into multi-billion dollar criminal organizations.

00:26:25.000 Your behavior is disgraceful. 0.93

00:26:27.000 And the deaths, the children assaulted, the children raped, they are at your feet. 0.96

00:26:32.000 And if you had integrity, you would resign.

00:26:35.000 And I will tell you, the men and women of the Border Patrol, they've never had a political leader undermine them. 0.93

00:26:40.000 They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders. 0.97

00:26:48.000 What the senator said was revolting. 0.99

00:26:49.000 I'm not going to address it.

00:26:50.000 Your refusal to do your job is revolting. 0.95

00:26:53.000 You know, it's revolting. 1.00

00:26:54.000 Kids getting raped, Mayorkis. 1.00

00:26:56.000 Lauren Boebert, Mayorkis is a traitor to America. 1.00

00:26:58.000 Your thoughts.

00:26:59.000 Yes, Secretary Mayorkis must be impeached.

00:27:02.000 It's clear he's not going to resign.

00:27:03.000 He's not going to be held accountable on his own free will.

00:27:09.000 So we have to do so here in the House of Representatives.

00:27:12.000 Anyone who has been to the border has seen these wristbands.

00:27:15.000 They are littered all over the ground at our southern border, both in Arizona and in Texas.

00:27:21.000 And I'm sure in California, too.

00:27:22.000 I've not yet been to that portion of our southern border.

00:27:25.000 Border Patrol agents know exactly what these colors mean.

00:27:29.000 They know how they're coordinated and where they're coming from.

00:27:33.000 This is something that the secretary should absolutely know about.

00:27:40.000 And this is another lie to Congress, just like stating that the southern border is secure.

00:27:48.000 Goodness, our ports of entry aren't even secure.

00:27:51.000 We have seen the invasions take place through our ports of entry.

00:27:54.000 And so, I mean, this is an absolute disgrace.

00:27:58.000 This is a national security crisis that we are in, a humanitarian crisis.

00:28:03.000 The flow of fentanyl that is coming in, the unaccompanied minors, the rape of children, the murder of so many people down on the southern border, whether it's American citizens or these migrants illegal crossing and illegally crossing into our country, all of it is at a peak right now of the worst of the worst.

00:28:24.000 We saw Democrats outraged under the Trump administration over the southern border, and there's nothing.

00:28:30.000 It's been crickets for over two years now, and we have to do something to hold them accountable.

00:28:35.000 You are exactly right, Charlie.

00:28:37.000 It is revolting what is happening there at the border.

00:28:40.000 And, you know, kudos to Senator Cruz for calling him out on that, because this is a huge priority and something that we have to get out in front of.

00:28:50.000 I'm proud of Secretary, excuse me, Speaker McCarthy for saying that he's bringing up the Texas border plan so we can have a vote on that and begin action to secure our southern border.

00:29:01.000 The invasion of our southern border, it's daily treason.

00:29:05.000 What is happening on behalf of Maorcus?

00:29:07.000 It's sick.

00:29:07.000 They don't care.

00:29:08.000 They are cheerleading with joy the fact that America is being invaded.

00:29:12.000 I get asked sometimes, Charlie, why do you want stricter immigration?

00:29:16.000 Why do you want an immigration moratorium?

00:29:18.000 Well, because I hear people like Elon Omar.

00:29:21.000 Elon Omar is an ingrate.

00:29:22.000 We saved her life as a country. 0.83

00:29:24.000 We were generous.

00:29:25.000 And then she comes here to tell us how racist and awful and bigoted and terrible our values and our customs are.

00:29:31.000 You just got to, you cannot have an immigration policy that allows people like Elon Omar, who have contempt for the nation, to come in and they refuse to assimilate play cut 73.

00:29:40.000 As an American, I'm heartbroken.

00:29:43.000 As a mom, I'm outraged.

00:29:46.000 As a legislator, I am ashamed at the lack of the political will to keep our kids safe from our Republican colleagues.

00:29:56.000 Keep our kids safe from our Republican colleagues.

00:29:59.000 Lauren, your response.

00:30:02.000 Look, Ilhan has her own history that we can dig into.

00:30:06.000 You know, there's a lot of things in my Democrat colleagues that I'm ashamed of when it comes to the way our country is being run right now.

00:30:15.000 But, you know, this is another fake outrage in an attempt to strip the rights away from American citizens.

00:30:24.000 And I agree with you, Charlie, on the immigration and how we should not allow people who absolutely hate and despise our country and our values to come in and be citizens and certainly serve in the United States House of Representatives as a federal legislator.

00:30:43.000 I mean, this is something that is just a slap in the face, and Americans are being spit on by her rhetoric and her disregard for our country, for our Constitution, for the flag that so many men and women have died for.

00:30:59.000 And I've met people who have immigrated here legally.

00:31:04.000 I've been to the naturalization ceremonies and I see the pride in their eyes as they hold in their hand a small American flag.

00:31:13.000 And there's just a knowing that they recognize this is the one true symbol of liberty and justice for all.

00:31:21.000 And they honor it and they revere that sentiment and they'll do anything to keep America free because they came from somewhere that did not have freedoms. 0.99

00:31:29.000 And, you know, maybe one of the things that we need to address with the Democrat parties, you played a clip from the teachers union with Randy there talking.

00:31:38.000 Maybe one thing we need to address is we're not a democracy.

00:31:41.000 So quit with that.

00:31:42.000 Maybe, maybe that's where you're getting it wrong is saying that we are a democracy.

00:31:46.000 We are a constitutional republic.

00:31:49.000 And that is something that needs to be taught in our schools, not this woke critical race theory on how to hate our country and hate your fellow classmates and community members because of the color of their skin.

00:32:02.000 Maybe teach a little honor and respect for our history and the correct history rather than all this woke nonsense that produces the Ilhan Omars of the world.

00:32:11.000 Yeah, I mean, look, Elon has contempt for the nation, and she should have nothing but gratitude. 0.91

00:32:18.000 And she's an ingrate, and that's why we call her Elon the Ingram. 0.99

00:32:22.000 And it really is something you should, you cannot let people into the country that loathe the country.

00:32:28.000 Can't.

00:32:28.000 It's unsustainable.

00:32:30.000 Lauren, I want to ask one more kind of question here.

00:32:33.000 Department of Justice is completely out of control.

00:32:35.000 We have new evidence that they told the U.S. Marshals not to arrest protesters outside of Supreme Court justices' homes against federal law.

00:32:44.000 Matt Taibbi gets a house visit from the IRS.

00:32:48.000 Any thoughts on this anarcho-tyranny chapter that we seem to be living in?

00:32:53.000 Well, Charlie, we know that this is going on.

00:32:55.000 And that's why one of our demands in the House Speaker's race was to establish the weaponization of the federal government committee and make sure that it is fully staffed and fully funded so they are able to expose exactly what this weaponized government, what these weaponized agencies in the federal government are doing to the American people or allowing to take place that is completely illegal.

00:33:19.000 This is a problem.

00:33:20.000 And that's why we have great members of Congress like Jim Jordan, Dan Bishop, we have Matt Gates on this weaponization committee so they can expose exactly what's going on.

00:33:29.000 But unfortunately, Charlie, we only have the majority in the House right now.

00:33:34.000 So certainly we can get this information out to the American people, but we have to turn that into a majority in the Senate and take back the White House if we actually want to correct this problem and gut out these agencies that have been weaponized, that have gone woke, that are against the American people.

00:33:54.000 We aren't going to be able to do that with just the majority in the House.

00:33:57.000 So these next two years are two years of exposure.

00:34:01.000 It is illegal to picket outside of a Supreme Court justice's home and get them to sway their opinion on a decision that they're going to make.

00:34:10.000 And these people were picketing and you could even call it rioting.

00:34:15.000 And Justice Kavanaugh was almost murdered.

00:34:18.000 There was an attempt to end his life.

00:34:21.000 And now we're being told that the Department of Justice was like, hey guys, nothing to see here.

00:34:26.000 Back off.

00:34:27.000 We have a reporter, Matt Taibbi, come in and testify.

00:34:31.000 And then the IRS shows up at his door completely.

00:34:34.000 Lauren Bober.

00:34:35.000 Thank you so much.

00:34:36.000 Great job as always.
