The House of Representatives passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and now the Senate has to get to work on their version of the bill. Will they get on board with the House's plan or will they continue to fight against it?
00:00:40.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:46.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:58.000Noble Gold Investments is the official gold sponsor of The Charlie Kirk Show, a company that specializes in gold IRAs and physical delivery of precious metals.
00:01:08.000Learn how you can protect your wealth with Noble Gold Investments at noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:35.000And then let's get down into the particulars.
00:01:37.000And I think our audience needs to learn that you guys can make changes to the bill, and then there's a process of reconciliation between the two chambers.
00:04:26.000Therefore, you have ridiculous pension problems and you have outrageous mass migration and the dumbest type of spending policies.
00:04:34.000And we're going to now subsidize that.
00:04:37.000Do you think we can maybe crawl it back to a $10,000 deduction, which would which would save hundreds of billions in So it's at $10,000 now, as I recall.
00:04:47.000So STAL stands for state and local taxes.
00:04:50.000So if your state and local taxes are high, the more motivated you are to try to write those off.
00:04:55.000You know, most Kansas wouldn't have $10,000 of state and local taxes to write off.
00:05:01.000But to answer your question, so the House passed a bill.
00:05:03.000We could pass their bill exactly as it is.
00:05:07.000It's probably got 80, 90 percent of what I'd like to see in it.
00:05:09.000But if the Senate makes any major changes, it'll have to go back to the House a second time.
00:05:14.000And that's where the tricky part is, Charlie.
00:05:16.000As much as you and I want to face this federal...
00:05:20.000We also got to pass it and we don't want to lose the House.
00:05:23.000So there's a dozen House members that I'm making that number up.
00:05:26.000I'm not sure how many House members are that are really, really from these purple districts with high property taxes that this, you know, they may not get reelected.
00:05:37.000But I can sure tell you, for damn sure I can tell you, that if we don't get some type of a good, big, beautiful bill out of here, none of them should get reelected.
00:05:47.000The other elements, let's just brag on some of the good stuff that people don't know about what's in the bill.
00:05:52.000We are taxing remittances for the first time ever, which is a financial penalty for illegal immigration into the United States of America.
00:05:59.000It's the largest border funding and border security bill in American history.
00:06:03.000We're getting illegals off Medicaid, which is major and it is massive.
00:06:08.000We are also seeing no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
00:06:12.000I don't think we got no tax on Social Security.
00:06:15.000But hopefully eventually we'll get that.
00:06:16.000We're doing work requirements and means testing.
00:06:19.000We are also seeing the Golden Dome investment.
00:06:22.000Please brag, Senator, on some of your favorite elements of this bill because there's a lot more goodies in this bill than I think our audience even realizes at times.
00:06:32.000So what we did with Social Security, since by the law, we cannot touch Social Security, but what we did is we're giving seniors a $4,000 tax credit in addition.
00:06:41.000So essentially, we're not going to tax their social security, but doing it in a different way.
00:07:04.000A little Second Amendment, we've slipped in there.
00:07:06.000There are some rules and regulations around what I would call a silencer, a muffler on guns, that type of thing.
00:07:13.000So there are a whole lot of low-hanging fruit in here.
00:07:16.000The Golden Dome is in here, President Trump's Golden Dome, the first down payment on some type of satellite system to help intercept nuclear warheads, that type of thing.
00:07:26.000huge pay raises for our troops We have 400,000 violent criminal aliens in this country.
00:07:55.000So we have significant money in here to take care of the military, for the most part, for four years, and the president's border security and the removal of illegal aliens.
00:09:00.000And they need to get in here and play the game.
00:09:02.000And if you get 90% of what you want, we better pass this bill and move on.
00:09:06.000And I'm sick about where our federal deficit is now.
00:09:09.000We could come back and do five shows on that.
00:09:11.000We spent an hour yesterday as a Republican caucus talking about the national debt and what's going on with selling our treasuries, that type of thing as well.
00:09:53.000But Planned Parenthood is the number one source of not just the abortions, but this abortion pill as well.
00:09:59.000So we'll defund them, and this is probably the second biggest day for the pro-life group after the Dobbs decision, I think, if we get this across the finish line.
00:10:10.000Really quick, thank you for that, and I pray we can keep the defunding of Planned Parenthood in this bill.
00:10:22.000Senator about a minute and a half remaining.
00:10:24.000Look, I think number one, when I think about Make America Healthy, Great Again, Healthy Again is 60% of Americans have a chronic disease of some sort.
00:10:34.000Most of it is nutritionally related or related to toxins.
00:10:37.000So I expect this Maha report to talk about the importance of soil health and the nutrient quality that we're feeding to our, especially our children.
00:10:45.000For whatever reason, I'm especially concerned about the children getting them off to the right foot as well.
00:10:50.000The toxins that they're being exposed to are probably in these ultra.
00:10:53.000So, 70% of the calories Americans consume are in ultra-processed foods, so I think that they'll address that as well.
00:11:59.000Hillsdale College offers more than 40 free online courses.
00:12:02.000That's right, free online courses on subjects like the Book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the history of the ancient Christian church.
00:12:10.000It's hard for me to even say which is my personal favorite.
00:12:13.000You guys have got to take these online courses.
00:12:15.000They've recently launched a new course, Understanding Capitalism, that I've been watching.
00:12:19.000In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a part in our economic system, why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom, and why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it.
00:12:39.000There's no cost, and it's easy to get started.
00:12:41.000That's charlieforhillsdale.com to register.
00:12:53.000And last night, Sarah Milgram and Yaren Lichinsky, a young couple who were Messianic Jews, so they're Jews who gave their life to Jesus, We're attending an event in Washington, D.C. at a Jewish cultural center.
00:13:12.000They leave the event, and waiting for them is this evil lunatic who drove from Chicago, 30 years old, all the way to Washington, D.C., and assassinated both of them in cold blood in public eye.
00:13:34.000I'm not going to say the assassin's name because the assassin wants to be as well known as Luigi.
00:13:40.000And that's an incentive that's a very big problem.
00:13:44.000Without getting into all the details of what this guy believed or where he got the information from, he did say free Palestine.
00:13:52.000So this is 100% a hit job against Jews.
00:13:55.000This is a hit job against people that support Israel.
00:14:11.000In fact, we saw another assassination attempt very similar to the Luigi one.
00:14:16.000You don't know the Luigi Maggioni case.
00:14:18.000Of course, he murdered the healthcare CEO in cold blood and then is a hero on the left.
00:14:25.000People love Luigi on the left, the far radical left.
00:14:34.000This is going to continue to be a problem.
00:14:36.000The movie The Joker, I think, shows the type of nihilism that is seeping into so much of this one-off criminal activity.
00:14:51.000Some people on social media, and I'm just going to gently push against it, and I wrote a tweet about this, are blaming people that have been critical of the war in Gaza as to say, that's why this person got radicalized.
00:15:15.000Or they say, Charlie, you're responsible for January the 6th.
00:15:18.000I think we have to resist that temptation.
00:15:20.000I think we have to say it's just not true.
00:15:23.000I wrote this in a tweet, and I liked what I said.
00:15:26.000Just because an idea is provocative or even offensive does not make it violent.
00:15:31.000Every person is responsible for their own agency, and I would make an argument that that is a misleading target as to why this happened.
00:15:44.000It's less about the influences ideologically and more about, I think, how this person thinks the Luigi effect could benefit him.
00:15:55.000The Luigi effect is a serious issue where they believe that they can become a social media martyr for that cause, not just the action itself, but that you then can become the face of the resistance against your said struggle.
00:18:43.000I tried my best and I was disappointed that I did not get into handcuffs.
00:18:48.000I would have loved to have become a political prisoner because I think Marco Rubio and President Trump would have made a couple phone calls.
00:18:56.000Well, they don't have a First Amendment over there, so what you did was very brave and I thank you for that.
00:19:01.000I report to you all today that people are asking what actually happened at Project Veritas, the organization I founded.
00:19:09.000And I've released, Charlie, a movie released yesterday on my website called The Truth Inside Veritas.
00:19:16.000There's a 12-minute video we published online.
00:19:19.000Apparently, in these depositions in the court case between me and my organization I founded, board members admitted that they were in business together.
00:19:44.000Now it turns out they had investments.
00:19:45.000You're looking at a federal deposition of George Skakel, and he's admitting that he was in business with these other board members, Charlie.
00:19:53.000So this is kind of some breaking news here.
00:20:05.000And just remind our audience the very difficult couple years you had to go through and what it would mean to now reassert control over Project Veritas.
00:20:14.000Well, I mean, you and I have talked about this in Arizona and elsewhere.
00:20:28.000The investigative video journalism getting sued all the time.
00:20:31.000By the way, I got sued last week by one of these deep state guys that we busted.
00:20:35.000I think people are put under pressure.
00:20:37.000They're put through a high-powered lens.
00:20:39.000But when you run an organization, you have people who feel entitled, who sometimes get jealous or get envious, and that can turn very toxic.
00:20:50.000It can grow vindictive when people don't get what they want.
00:20:54.000But also when you're being raided by the feds, when you're being It's very, very difficult, Charlie.
00:22:20.000Hundreds of messages of people wanting to help.
00:22:23.000And it's one thing for them to help with the grassroots level, but I think letting them into your inner sanctum, I think, and I hope you would agree, you really do have to be careful with who you surround yourself with.
00:22:33.000You can't let everybody into your headquarters, you know, close to you, because I think people will, they will betray you when the going gets tough.
00:22:42.000Not because you've done anything wrong, but because they're incentivized to.
00:22:47.000I think one of the things I've struggled with is how to reconcile the instinct for self-preservation with always doing the right thing.
00:22:53.000And if you're going to be a truth-teller, and I mean if you're really going to be a truth-teller, the self-preservation and self-interest come into conflict with that.
00:23:05.000So you have to find people who are almost messianic, who are mission-driven, who are self-sacrificial to a certain degree.
00:23:13.000If you want to do this type of truth-telling.
00:25:21.000People ask me, Charlie, well, how can you air all this footage from a court case?
00:25:25.000Deposition footage is public proceeding.
00:25:27.000So this is a really remarkable film that actually takes you inside the boardroom at Project Veritas where you get to hear these grievances.
00:25:35.000You actually hear a recording of the board meeting, of the board members who fired me, the reasons for firing me, which are so bizarre, it almost seems fake, but it's real.
00:25:47.000And that's what you're watching here on the screen about what really happened.
00:27:03.000Now we have Citizen Journalism Foundation.
00:27:05.000Hopefully we acquire Project Veritas here and we change the name back to Project Veritas Foundation.
00:27:12.000But I don't know if the commercial imperative, Charlie, is fully compatible with investigative journalism.
00:27:19.000In other words, I don't know that it can be profitable.
00:27:23.000And therefore, I don't know how to make it sustainable, but I'm working on it.
00:27:26.000And we've done some big stories in Epstein the last couple weeks.
00:27:29.000We have more stories coming in our federal government exposing corruption.
00:27:33.000And I said this, and I mean this sincerely, the stuff that I have on video, particularly in Washington, D.C., of these contractors, people should be going to jail.
00:27:42.000And if they don't go to jail, then I'm going to have serious questions about who our prosecutors are.
00:27:47.000But I'm trying to make journalism sustainable, and I'm trying to create business models for it.
00:27:54.000But also, Charlie, reckoning with these aspects of human nature that make it difficult to do when you're telling the truth and when you're shaming the devil.
00:28:07.000Instincts for self-preservation often come into conflict with what you're doing.
00:28:11.000And that's why I wanted to tell this story.
00:28:13.000And it's an ongoing story, but I wanted to tell the story.
00:28:23.000What does a mechanic and auto shop owner in Georgia, a taco restaurant operator in Arizona, and a life-saving medical innovator in Tennessee have in common?
00:28:31.000They're all small business owners, and they're all thriving on TikTok.
00:28:35.000Across the U.S., over 7.5 million businesses, from family-owned shops to entrepreneurs, are using TikTok to compete and grow.
00:28:42.000We use TikTok all the time on The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:28:44.000In fact, 74% of businesses on TikTok say TikTok has allowed them to scale their operations, increasing sales, and expanding to new locations.
00:29:46.000Chip Roy got some very important concessions.
00:29:50.000Chip Roy, he drove a really hard bargain, fiscal conservative, and I appreciate that from him.
00:29:55.000We need more fiscal conservatives back in the Republican Party because debts do matter and deficits do matter.
00:30:02.000Chip Roy got in the massive spending bill up to $12 billion to reimburse states for border security during the Biden administration, which is terrific.
00:30:11.000So it's given $12 billion back to states to reimburse Texas and Arizona for all the border security that they've been doing.
00:30:18.000By the way, we've got to get rid of Katie Hobbs.
00:30:20.000That's why we have fully endorsed Andy Biggs.
00:30:22.000By the way, can we get the Andy Biggs graphic up there?
00:30:24.000We have a big event we're doing for Andy Biggs.
00:30:26.000I want to make sure that we're promoting for all of you.
00:30:27.000We want to have a very, very big crowd there.
00:31:28.000Helped stave off further Obamacare expansion by aligning SDPs in Medicaid rates, froze the state provider taxes to ensure states don't grow their money laundering schemes, paid tax understates back for the border security, and began to claw back the Green News scam put on steroids by the Inflation Reduction Act, namely by putting in place a required construction start within 60 days of enactment and much earlier, and all designed to limit the reach of these subsidies.
