The Charlie Kirk Show - ‘Trump Tried to Warn Europe, and They Laughed' with Ambassador Ric Grenell and Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, Rick Grinnell, who runs fixcalifornia.com, joins us, talks a little bit about Nord Stream 2.

00:00:08.000 We also dive in with Marjorie Taylor Green of what should Republicans do if we take back the house?

00:00:13.000 Should we have Democrats on committees?

00:00:15.000 And I asked her, why was she at Kevin McCarthy's event?

00:00:18.000 I'm not saying that in an accusatory way.

00:00:20.000 We got a lot of questions about that.

00:00:22.000 I thought she gave a really pleasant answer.

00:01:05.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:08.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:10.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:19.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:28.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:31.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:40.000 There's a lot of confusion around this Nord Stream issue, and no better person to help us kind of understand it than someone who served in the region and was intimately involved in trying to protect American interests and Western interests as ambassador to Germany and then also ran the director of national intelligence.

00:01:59.000 It's Rick Grinnell, a great patriot who also has a very important organization about fixing California.

00:02:07.000 And you guys can go to the events at fixcalifornia.com.

00:02:12.000 That is fixcalifornia.com.

00:02:15.000 Rick Grinnell is with us.

00:02:16.000 Rick, let's just start with that before we get into the Russian and NordStream issue, which will definitely take us some time.

00:02:22.000 Tell us about what you're doing to try to fix California.

00:02:25.000 Great, Charlie.

00:02:25.000 Thanks for having me.

00:02:27.000 As you know, I have not given up on California.

00:02:31.000 And I believe that we can actually win this if you give us a couple of years.

00:02:36.000 We found 1.4 million conservatives in a quick way.

00:02:42.000 I mean, honestly, we didn't dig very deep.

00:02:44.000 And we found 1.4 million conservatives sitting on the sidelines in California, unregistered to vote.

00:02:51.000 Think about that.

00:02:52.000 1.4 million easily found and they're just not registered.

00:02:58.000 And it's the self-fulfilling prophecy because when you live in California and you're constantly heard, you know, hearing Gavin Newsom's far left policies and the media trumpeting them as amazing.

00:03:11.000 And then you're watching elections and you see immediately right as the polls close, the national media call the state for the Democrats.

00:03:21.000 And it starts to get frustrating.

00:03:23.000 But last year, about a year and a half ago, I decided to put together a plan to do what Stacey Abrams did to Georgia.

00:03:32.000 We're going to do to California.

00:03:33.000 And so we've hired all the right people, the people who worked for DeSantis and Rick Scott and who have done amazing work in Florida.

00:03:41.000 And we are doing a digital operation.

00:03:43.000 We have a really cool two rallies this weekend, one in Newport in Southern California and one in Fairfield in Northern California.

00:03:50.000 We have this really cool system.

00:03:52.000 You can scan a QR code that will take you to our site and we will show you people in your neighborhood who are conservative.

00:04:03.000 We've identified as conservative, who are unregistered.

00:04:06.000 And if we can kind of do this group attack of finding conservatives in California and getting them registered, you give us a couple of years and we're going to change things.

00:04:16.000 We certainly this fall will make a dent.

00:04:19.000 We've been registering like crazy and we'll have tens of thousands of new conservatives registered by the time November comes.

00:04:27.000 It is such a tragedy what the Democrats have done to California.

00:04:30.000 It is a slice of heaven.

00:04:32.000 It truly is in so many different ways and it has only been destroyed by politics.

00:04:37.000 And so Rick, we're behind you at that.

00:04:38.000 It's fixcalifornia.com.

00:04:41.000 So Rick, how should we think about this industrial sabotage, this military operation that went after Nordstream?

00:04:50.000 How should we process this?

00:04:52.000 What do you think the media is missing?

00:04:54.000 The floor is yours.

00:04:56.000 So Charlie, as you know, there's some things I can't say, obviously, after serving as director of national intelligence.

00:05:04.000 Let me just start with a couple of overall general points.

00:05:07.000 One, President Trump and when I was U.S. Ambassador to Germany, we believed very clearly that having Nord Stream II the Russian pipeline was too much leverage for Russia over Europe.

00:05:23.000 Now, it's important to note that Nord Stream I, the pipeline, is a pipeline that we think is part of the diversification of Europe's energy.

00:05:33.000 I think some Russian energy is appropriate for Europe.

00:05:38.000 We need to make sure it's diversified.

00:05:40.000 It's not just concentrating on wind or hydrogen or one source.

00:05:48.000 We need an all of the above, and including Middle East gas, American US LNG, and some Russian gas is appropriate for Europe.

00:05:56.000 But Nord Stream 2 went too far.

00:05:58.000 And so President Trump was very clear with Chancellor Merkel and others to say, don't do this.

00:06:03.000 Russia is going to have leverage over you.

00:06:06.000 We were told constantly and mocked by the media that we didn't have it right and that somehow Chancellor Merkel could control Putin.

00:06:14.000 And what we saw is a disaster.

00:06:17.000 And let's be very clear, Charlie, that when the Biden administration came in, Chancellor Merkel's government, the Biden administration and Senate Democrats all got together and dropped the Trump sanctions on the Russian pipeline.

00:06:33.000 Now think about that.

00:06:35.000 They came in, and if you read their statements back then, they said, we are dropping the sanctions on Nord Stream 2 on the Russian pipeline that Trump had in place.

00:06:44.000 And Democrats said they are doing it because they believed that it was making things worse.

00:06:52.000 What a strategic miscalculation blunder.

00:06:58.000 And quickly, we saw after the Democrats and the Joe Biden administration took those sanctions off that Nord Stream 2 pipeline, it gave Putin a green light to go into Ukraine.

00:07:12.000 It signaled weakness.

00:07:13.000 And we saw a war in Ukraine specifically because the Biden administration, Chancellor Merkel, and Senate Democrats dropped these sanctions.

00:07:24.000 They miscalculated and they caused a war. 0.65

00:07:27.000 And I can't be any more clear about that.

00:07:30.000 We are now faced with billions of dollars that we are funding in Ukraine for this strategic blunder.

00:07:37.000 It's unbelievable.

00:07:37.000 No diplomatic solution whatsoever.

00:07:40.000 It's outrageous.

00:07:42.000 So, Rick, I know you have to be careful with what you say, and I totally respect that.

00:07:45.000 But can you at least give us some formula of how to think about this or how to look to who's responsible?

00:07:52.000 Because some people are saying the intelligence community is saying Russia was behind this.

00:07:57.000 And if that is true, let me just ask, let me ask it this way, because then you might be able to answer this.

00:08:02.000 Would it make rational sense for Russia to destroy their own pipeline?

00:08:06.000 Can you walk us through, if that were to be true, what would the rationale behind that be?

00:08:09.000 Because I'm struggling to understand that.

00:08:13.000 Look, I'm very skeptical of Russia.

00:08:15.000 I don't believe Putin.

00:08:17.000 I've been on the record as being very anti-Russia.

00:08:21.000 The Russians hate me for my work in Germany.

00:08:25.000 But I will say this.

00:08:26.000 They've come out and they've denied the fact.

00:08:28.000 And again, we don't always believe them, but they've denied the fact that they did anything to the pipeline.

00:08:33.000 They've always believed that they needed this pipeline for money.

00:08:38.000 So I make that point very clearly.

00:08:42.000 But also, Joe Biden has been clear that he wanted to destroy the pipeline.

00:08:48.000 That clip is out there where he has said that he was going to destroy the pipeline.

00:08:52.000 And he's even kind of dared and said, you know, mark my words.

00:08:56.000 Let's play that bluster.

00:08:58.000 Yeah, because, I mean, so, Rick, I just, I haven't had anyone explain to me why Russia would destroy their own pipeline that they benefit from economically.

00:09:08.000 And so then if it's not Russia, well, then who?

00:09:11.000 I mean, some people say China.

00:09:12.000 I don't know if that makes any sense to me, nor do I think they have a presence in that region.

00:09:17.000 Maybe they do.

00:09:18.000 But let's play that clip, guys.

00:09:19.000 I'm trying to find it here.

00:09:21.000 We had, I think it's cut 83, if I'm not mistaken.

00:09:25.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:09:25.000 Cut 83.

00:09:27.000 If Germany, if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again.

00:09:38.000 Then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.

00:09:44.000 We will bring an end to it.

00:09:46.000 But how will you do that?

00:09:50.000 Exactly.

00:09:52.000 Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.

00:09:57.000 We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it.

00:10:02.000 That doesn't really instill confidence in the American government's handling of this.

00:10:08.000 Well, not only that, I think the media are shameless for not pushing back and saying, wait a minute, you're the one who dropped the sanctions here.

00:10:14.000 You're the one who created this active pipeline.

00:10:17.000 And now suddenly we've got these problems.

00:10:19.000 Look, the reality is it never should have gone forward.

00:10:22.000 Donald Trump would have never allowed the sanctions to be dropped.

00:10:26.000 The pressure would have been on Putin, and we would not have had a war in Ukraine if Donald Trump were in the office.

00:10:31.000 It's just terrible.

00:10:35.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:10:37.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:10:40.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:10:42.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:10:47.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:10:51.000 They are on a mission.

00:10:52.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:10:54.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:11:00.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:11:02.000 If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

00:11:27.000 Check it out right now.

00:11:31.000 Let's play some sound here from Donald Trump, who this is how he used to talk to these people, Merkel and many others.

00:11:40.000 This is just over a meal, NATO meeting.

00:11:43.000 Trump pointing how it's ridiculous that Germany will buy energy from Russia while America protects them.

00:11:50.000 Play Cut 107.

00:11:52.000 Well, I have to say, I think it's very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia, where you're supposed to be guarding against Russia, and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia.

00:12:08.000 So we're protecting Germany, we're protecting France, we're protecting all of these countries.

00:12:13.000 And then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they're paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia.

00:12:23.000 You were probably there, Rick, you know, at that meeting or tangentially to that.

00:12:27.000 Straight to the Germans' face, your reaction of how things have changed.

00:12:31.000 Well, that was a NATO meeting, and you see Jens Doltenberg, the NATO head, sitting across from President Trump.

00:12:38.000 And he has been extremely complimentary of President Trump, saying thank you for the billions of dollars that have come in to NATO since Trump was really the leverage to tell countries pay your fair share.

00:12:53.000 And so, you know, I have been in the meetings with Merkel, with Chancellor Merkel, where the president said, look, I don't blame you trying to make the American taxpayer pay for your safety, but it's not smart.

00:13:06.000 You need to pay your bill.

00:13:07.000 And by the way, you're feeding the beast when you don't pay your bill at NATO.

00:13:12.000 And at the same time, you're giving money and doing deals with Russia, which is why NATO started to exist in the first place.

00:13:20.000 And so the hypocrisy was called out by President Trump.

00:13:24.000 And, you know, I'm not breaking any news when I tell you that President Trump once sent Chancellor Merkel a white flag.

00:13:32.000 And she was a little confused as to what that meant.

00:13:34.000 We had to explain to her that meant that you're literally giving up and waving the white flag, surrendering to Russia.

00:13:44.000 I think we were very tough.

00:13:46.000 We were constantly pushing, but we didn't get any help from the media, the German media, the European media, the American media.

00:13:53.000 They celebrated Chancellor Merkel.

00:13:56.000 And I think it's time that we have a debate about the 16 years of Merkelism.

00:14:02.000 I think that it made Europe less safe and it's caused wars.

00:14:05.000 And certainly we know this to be true, that part of the legacy of Chancellor Merkel is that the EU is smaller.

00:14:13.000 Brexit happened because she couldn't control immigration and have rules, a rules-based system.

00:14:20.000 And the Brits said, we're out of here.

00:14:23.000 And we saw the rewriting of European borders a couple of times, Crimea and other places, under Chancellor Merkel's leadership.

00:14:32.000 So the EU got smaller and less powerful.

00:14:36.000 And that I think goes straight to Chancellor Merkel.

00:14:39.000 And also now that we see this pipeline disabled, I think this is a huge moment for a waste of money and a waste of time for Russian energy. 0.73

00:14:52.000 And this is going to come back to bite them.

00:14:55.000 Really?

00:14:55.000 They're not prepared.

00:14:56.000 Really quick, I want to get your reaction to Victoria Newland in January saying the following, Cut 89.

00:15:03.000 With regard to Nord Stream 2, we continue to have very strong and clear conversations with our German allies.

00:15:12.000 And I want to be clear with you today.

00:15:15.000 If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.

00:15:23.000 What a blunder.

00:15:24.000 This is the same person who lobbied to have the sanctions fall.

00:15:28.000 I mean, at what point are the media in Washington going to say, wait a minute, you caused a war, you dropped the sanctions.

00:15:35.000 Now we've got this pipeline that's been disabled.

00:15:38.000 A total disaster of foreign policy.

00:15:42.000 And yet, the reason why they'll do it again and they'll make these mistakes, strategic mistakes, is because there's no pushback from the mainstream media in Washington.

00:15:51.000 And so there's no consequences.

00:15:53.000 Yeah, I mean, I hope they're mistakes.

00:15:54.000 I hope it's not intentional international sabotage.

00:15:56.000 I really hope you're right.

00:17:04.000 With us right now is Marjorie Taylor Green, one of the few fighters in Congress. 0.51

00:17:10.000 Congresswoman Green, welcome back to the program.

00:17:13.000 I was pleased to see you at the announcement, I guess you could say, last week that Kevin McCarthy had.

00:17:20.000 Some people emailed us and they didn't like it, but tell us why you were there and your reaction to that press event.

00:17:27.000 Well, thank you so much, Charlie, and I really appreciate you having me on the show and asking me about this.

00:17:33.000 The reason why I went to the release of the Commitment to America is because I believe Republicans have to have a plan to present to America while we also conduct oversight on every single committee and investigate the corruption and wrongdoing that's been done under Joe Biden and the Democrats.

00:17:52.000 And so just being a former business owner, someone that has been very involved in making deals, creating contracts, selling jobs, solving problems, I believe in working with every single person I possibly can to achieve the best product and the best goals for the American people.

00:18:12.000 And so I am supporting this because the Commitment to America is a national messaging plan for all Americans to understand these are the things that are important to the Republicans.

00:18:24.000 This is what we're striving for.

00:18:26.000 This is what we are committing to for all of America for two years and leading into 2024 while we bring accountability and oversight and investigations and look into all the wrongdoings that have been done,

00:18:41.000 like Dr. Anthony Fauci, the origins of COVID, the abuse of money that has been spent, everything that's happening in the Department of Justice, the FBI, people whose due process rights are being violated across the country in jails while they're awaiting trial for January 6th.

00:18:59.000 I mean, the list can go on and on.

00:19:01.000 Money that has been sent to Ukraine in this war, proxy war with Russia, and the wrongdoing that's been done there.

00:19:10.000 I believe that we need to have a plan to present to the American people.

00:19:14.000 And let me tell you something, Charlie.

00:19:16.000 You can't make the plan the best it possibly should be if you're not willing to be there from the beginning and have a seat at the table.

00:19:25.000 And so I'm very proud to have a seat at the table.

00:19:27.000 And I'm proud to be working as hard as possible that when Republicans are in charge in January, I want to be a part of making sure the commitment to America serves the American people first and is the best it possibly can be.

00:19:41.000 I think that's wise.

00:19:42.000 Does that mean, Marjorie, that you will support Kevin McCarthy for speaker if we take back the house?

00:19:48.000 We haven't had our speaker vote yet, Charlie.

00:19:51.000 That's something that a lot of people ask about every single day.

00:19:54.000 I'm here in Washington, D.C. when I walk into the Capitol to vote.

00:19:59.000 And I have to tell you, my biggest focus right now is November 8th.

00:20:03.000 And that's why I am supporting candidates all over the country.

00:20:06.000 That's why I'm speaking at every single Trump rally that I can possibly fit into my schedule.

00:20:12.000 That's why I'm working hand in hand with all of our great America First conservative candidates because we have to fill up the House of Representatives with as many good Republicans as possible.

00:20:25.000 And that's how we fire Nancy Pelosi, which is what I said the night I won my election.

00:20:31.000 I said it with some different kinds of words, but I want to fire Nancy Pelosi. 0.98

00:20:35.000 We need to take back the House. 0.75

00:20:37.000 It's the only way that we can get on the right track to save America.

00:20:40.000 But I will tell you this, as far as I know, Kevin McCarthy is the only person that has openly said that he is running for Speaker of the House when Republicans take it back.

00:20:50.000 So, Marjorie, I want to ask you about the oversight because a lot of our listeners, they're pretty fired up about Republicans saying one thing and doing another.

00:21:02.000 What would a proper oversight plan look like in January that would satisfy you?

00:21:08.000 What committees, what commissions, what special committees?

00:21:13.000 Because my fear, Marjorie, and I think you agree, is that we come out a little hot and then some of these committees kind of lose steam or we disassemble them.

00:21:21.000 What is the list?

00:21:22.000 What is the priority?

00:21:23.000 What does success look like?

00:21:25.000 And what should we as the MAGA base demand and not accept anything less than?

00:21:31.000 I really appreciate that question.

00:21:33.000 That's one of the reasons why I ran for Congress, Charlie, is I got very mad at Republicans.

00:21:39.000 I got mad at Republicans for not doing what they promised they would do every single time they were out on the campaign trail and every time they spoke on the news.

00:21:49.000 And I believe that Republicans have to be transparent and have to tell the American people, here's what we're capable of.

00:21:56.000 Now, the reality is when we take back the House in January, we may have a majority and we may have Kevin McCarthy as our Speaker of the House.

00:22:05.000 But here's the reality, Charlie.

00:22:07.000 We may not control the Senate and we will not have the White House.

00:22:11.000 And so we have to set expectations with the American people about what we are able to achieve.

00:22:17.000 That means we will not be able to bring anything into law unless Joe Biden is willing to sign it across on it when it hits his desk.

00:22:26.000 So that'll be very difficult because we know how radical and how hard left Joe Biden is.

00:22:32.000 And we already know that he has no interest in helping Republicans and what our goals are.

00:22:37.000 He's against the police.

00:22:39.000 He's against our border and is allowing it to be invaded.

00:22:42.000 He's wrecking our economy.

00:22:44.000 He doesn't care about reducing crime.

00:22:46.000 And I don't even think he's focused on our country.

00:22:48.000 He's more focused on the borders of Ukraine.

00:22:51.000 And he's more focused on helping China and their energy policies and destroying American energy. 0.50

00:22:57.000 So all of the MAGA base and conservatives and America First voters and Americans across the country need to realize that is the position that Republicans are in when we take back the House and we take power in January.

00:23:11.000 So that being said, conducting oversight on committees will be extremely important.

00:23:15.000 There's only two committees that have subpoena power.

00:23:18.000 That's the oversight committee and judiciary.

00:23:21.000 So that's something everyone needs to understand.

00:23:23.000 Now, each committee in the House of Representatives is able to do oversight from their committee, meaning that they can look into the very positions and issues that their committees handle.

00:23:36.000 Example Homeland Security, they should be providing oversight into secretary Mayorkas and impeach Mayorkas and get him out. 0.94

00:23:44.000 The guy is a traitor to the country absolutely.

00:23:45.000 I want Mayorkas impeached. 1.00

00:23:47.000 Charlie, you're right uh, Mayorkas should be impeached. 1.00

00:23:51.000 I want Joe Biden impeached.

00:23:53.000 I want, I want uh Merit Garland impeached.

00:23:56.000 And those are.

00:23:57.000 Those are things that I believe we should be done.

00:23:59.000 Now i'm a lot more aggressive and uh, probably than most of my Republican colleagues, but I believe that we must do these things because if we don't, we don't provide oversight and investigations as strong as we possibly can, then we will be failing our country, we will be failing the American people, we'll be failing our voters and we will be signaling to the Democrats that if they ever regain power,

00:24:27.000 that we did nothing when we had the opportunity and they will take it a lot further.

00:24:32.000 So here's one of the things I think that we need to push for, Marjorie and this will be my two cents and i'd love your thoughts which is, you're right that those two committees, by the old way of doing things, are the only two that could do oversight, but after they created a january 6TH committee, Pelosi did with no other members in the opposition party.

00:24:49.000 I think we should take that precedent and we should have special committees outside of these other ones.

00:24:53.000 The same way, they have a January 6th committee.

00:24:56.000 Because here's the thing, we have so much talent, we got you, we got Gates, we got Bobert.

00:25:01.000 We got so much talent, we got Byron Donalds, we got Andy Biggs, we got people that really get it, in my opinion.

00:25:07.000 And so why can't we have a special committee outside of oversight, outside of judiciary?

00:25:12.000 That's all fine, but there's Democrats in those committees and the new way of doing things is, I don't want you to have to yield time to Democrats anymore.

00:25:18.000 That's a waste of time.

00:25:18.000 I don't.

00:25:20.000 We should have our own committees that are only Republicans, only mega Republicans.

00:25:24.000 We need one into the border, we need one into IRS agents and the IRS in general.

00:25:28.000 We need a Church AND PIKE Committee into the FBI. 1.00

00:25:31.000 But forget this like, oh well, we yield our time in five minutes, like that's fine, you could do that.

00:25:35.000 That's ceremonial.

00:25:36.000 We need partisan committees, the same way they did the january 6th committee, and people say, well Charlie, you know you complain that we got to punch back twice as hard.

00:25:45.000 Your thoughts, Marjorie?

00:25:47.000 Yeah, the january 6th committee the, the pushback on the january 6th committee is.

00:25:51.000 It's not constitutional because it is.

00:25:53.000 It's not set up properly uh how, the constitution says that committees need to be set up.

00:25:59.000 Judges don't agree though, Marjorie.

00:26:00.000 I thought that was right.

00:26:01.000 A judge came in and said, it is so.

00:26:02.000 Therefore, let's do it. 0.51

00:26:03.000 Let's make Republican committees.

00:26:05.000 Forget these guys. 1.00

00:26:06.000 You'll have to sit.

00:26:07.000 Oh, you'll have to send that to me.

00:26:08.000 I missed that one.

00:26:09.000 No I, I think, like you do Charlie, I think that when we have power, we need to use our power to end the corruption and end the abuse of power that the Democrats have reigned over us, because they have not acted um, as an American party.

00:26:24.000 They have not acted uh, with our constitution.

00:26:27.000 As a matter of fact, they've abused their power so brazenly.

00:26:31.000 I've called them communist over and over again, but I do believe that we need to.

00:26:36.000 We need to teach them a lesson when we take power in january.

00:26:41.000 Yes, and i'm very happy to be one of the loudest voices and hopefully making that happen.

00:26:45.000 And you know this, they came after you trying to get you off committees and stuff.

00:26:48.000 We should have them on no committees.

00:26:49.000 And I know this sounds, you know, draconian.

00:26:52.000 It was Newt Gingrich who actually recommended on this program and many others: just get Democrats off committees.

00:26:58.000 If we have the majority back, we don't have time to listen to AOC's cattlewalling.

00:27:02.000 I don't have time for that.

00:27:03.000 Okay.

00:27:04.000 There is nothing useful.

00:27:05.000 They have done nothing but call the semi-fascist.

00:27:08.000 They raid our friends like James O'Keefe and Rudy Giuliani, and they raid Trump's home.

00:27:13.000 They hate MAGA Republicans, and we got to go yield time to Rashida Talib.

00:27:17.000 Like, we know what you believe.

00:27:19.000 You've had plenty of time to not look into stuff.

00:27:22.000 And so, what I'm getting at, though, is if we take over the House, which I think we will, I'm going to ask you that in a second, I think we have to have all these little pockets of oversight that are created and just say, hey, you got to issue a report by the summer of 2024 on FBI, on CIA, on Ukraine money, on Chinese origins, because I'm afraid, Marjorie, if we only go through judiciary and only go through these other committees, they're going to be like, well, you know, we really don't have time to look into the origins of COVID, but we could go do some, you know,

00:27:52.000 vanilla milquetoast thing.

00:27:53.000 Your thoughts, Marjorie?

00:27:55.000 Well, I totally agree with you.

00:27:56.000 Charlie, I agree with you a thousand percent.

00:27:59.000 If I was Speaker of the House, you would see absolutely all of those things happening.

00:28:03.000 As a matter of fact, I would reign with an iron fist and I would end everything that they have been doing.

00:28:09.000 I would restore the House of Representatives to its order and I would never, ever allow anyone to abuse the power like they have.

00:28:17.000 And I would make sure that justice is done.

00:28:20.000 Justice should be done for all of what they have done to President Trump, his administration, Republicans, and the American people, innocent American people.

00:28:30.000 They should never use their power to create so much fear and intimidation and the amount of attorney fees people like you and others have had to pay out.

00:28:39.000 It's unbelievable.

00:28:40.000 I sat on a witness stand as the only member of Congress sitting on a witness stand under oath, accused of insurrection, having to defend myself so I could keep my name on the ballot.

00:28:51.000 Listen, I am totally there with you.

00:28:53.000 And to this day, there are people rotting in jail in this town.

00:28:56.000 And you've been one of the only members of Congress that talks about that.

00:29:00.000 You deserve a lot of credit for it because there's been a lot of suffering for people and political.

00:29:06.000 Well, I think they are political prisoners and their use is intimidation.

00:29:11.000 And the very problem is, people forget that, you know what, we're all the same.

00:29:16.000 And so there's no difference in me as a member of Congress and somebody that just walked into the Capitol.

00:29:23.000 They walked around and we're all equal.

00:29:26.000 So I don't believe anyone's better than anyone else.

00:29:28.000 And I, you know, I stand up for those people because I don't agree with what they did.

00:29:33.000 And I know they were charged, but their rights are so violated.

00:29:36.000 Their families are mistreated.

00:29:38.000 And they are treated so badly.

00:29:41.000 You're innocent.

00:29:42.000 I agree with you.

00:29:43.000 Yes.

00:29:43.000 And that's right.

00:29:44.000 Charlie, I do agree with you.

00:29:46.000 We have to be as aggressive as possible, as aggressive as possible to hold the Democrats accountable and rein them in.

00:29:55.000 And we should make them pay for what they are doing, not only to us, but what they're doing to this country.

00:30:01.000 Because what they're doing, this country, if it carries on, we're not even going to be able to function anymore.

00:30:07.000 So, Marjorie, what races are you focusing on?

00:30:09.000 You have a very powerful pack.

00:30:11.000 You've raised a lot of money and you're helping a lot of different people.

00:30:14.000 I know we're looking at Caroline Levitt, who's in a very tough race up against a Marxist in New Hampshire.

00:30:19.000 What other races are you deploying resources towards and spending your time trying to support?

00:30:25.000 Bo Hines.

00:30:26.000 I've been working very hard to get Bo Hines elected.

00:30:29.000 I'm also, I have been backing JD Vance for the Senate from day one.

00:30:35.000 I'm really hopeful that he wins his race in Ohio.

00:30:38.000 Another one is Blake Masters in Arizona for Senate.

00:30:42.000 Having those two in the United States Senate, Charlie, would be a game changer.

00:30:47.000 And I'm really hoping they win. 1.00

00:30:49.000 I absolutely adore Carrie Lake for governor in Arizona.

00:30:53.000 I think she is, she's, she and I are the same.

00:30:56.000 I just love her so much.

00:30:57.000 And I really hope Arizona elects her.

00:31:00.000 I have been backing so many people across the country because I really want fighters in Washington.

00:31:06.000 I want fighters holding political office in states like Arizona and in the Senate and in the House of Representatives because that's the only way we can save our country, Charlie.

00:31:16.000 And I wish I could tell everybody watching this that it's going to happen overnight because that's the kind of person I am.

00:31:22.000 Like I said, I'm very aggressive and I want to get things done immediately.

00:31:26.000 But in order for us to completely change America and save our country, this is something that we're going to have to work on every single election cycle.

00:31:35.000 But I'm committed to doing it and I believe in the long game.

00:31:40.000 And I think that's how we can get things back on track.

00:31:43.000 But for the next two years, when Republicans take back the House in January, look, I love your plan of aggression and I would love to get that done.

00:31:52.000 That would be so incredible and so amazing.

00:31:55.000 You give Matt Gates and I our own committee.

00:31:57.000 Well, that's right.

00:31:58.000 We could go scorched earth.

00:31:59.000 We got so much talent.

00:32:00.000 The two of us, he and I together go scorched earth.

00:32:03.000 We would solve the whole thing.

00:32:04.000 We have such smart people.

00:32:05.000 The Democrats, they have no talent.

00:32:06.000 I mean, you look at them. 1.00

00:32:07.000 They're boring and they're slow and they're robots.

00:32:11.000 We got free thinking, courageous people like Gates and we got you and we got Bobert. 0.61

00:32:16.000 And by the way, if we win even half of these races, you could possibly have Caroline Levitt.

00:32:22.000 You could have Bo Hines. 0.86

00:32:23.000 You could have Anna Paulina.

00:32:24.000 You could have Madison Jesietto.

00:32:26.000 You got, I mean, you got superstars.

00:32:28.000 And we're just supposed to wait our turn with Talib.

00:32:30.000 It's a waste of time. 0.84

00:32:31.000 I'm telling you, kick the Democrats off.

00:32:33.000 Every committee, you got to go full partisan like they did. 0.90

00:32:36.000 They have to know that there is a penalty for how they do this remote voting nonsense.

00:32:40.000 Like, no, there's a new party in town that people have taken over.

00:32:43.000 Yeah, we got to get rid of this proxy voting thing is a catastrophe.

00:32:46.000 Really quick, Margie.

00:32:47.000 I want to ask you about Nordstream.

00:32:50.000 And again, we're speculating in some sense here, but it's very suspicious what's happened here.

00:32:56.000 Are you, who do you think actually was behind the act of industrial sabotage behind the Nordstream pipeline?

00:33:03.000 Well, I don't know if you saw my tweet thread that I put out late last night.

00:33:07.000 I had been saying, I voted no to every single penny for Ukraine, by the way. 0.97

00:33:11.000 And it's not because I'm sorry for the people that I'm sorry for what's happening to them, but I'm completely against funding foreign wars that are really all about making money in energy deals and funneling U.S. taxpayer dollars into what's labeled humanitarian aid, but really ends up being more like money laundering.

00:33:33.000 And that's what's happening over in Ukraine.

00:33:35.000 And that's another thing that we need oversight and accountability on.

00:33:39.000 I voted no on all of that and I hate seeing it happen.

00:33:42.000 I knew that it would destroy energy for Europe.

00:33:44.000 I knew it would drive energy costs.

00:33:46.000 I knew that it would give Putin more money than he's ever dreamed of.

00:33:49.000 And now he's making deals with India, with China, and many more countries.

00:33:53.000 This isn't hurting him.

00:33:54.000 This is helping him.

00:33:55.000 And then the other problem is it drove up food costs and is causing hunger in other places in the world.

00:34:01.000 And it's hurting our American farmers.

00:34:03.000 And that really, really makes me angry.

00:34:05.000 And so all of this has been a scam and it's been just a typical mob boss move of Joe Biden because that's all he is. 0.91

00:34:13.000 It's like a mob boss and a corrupt business dealer.

00:34:16.000 But here's the issue with Nordstream 2.

00:34:18.000 I think that requires a very serious investigation.

00:34:22.000 But I also agree with President Trump is we need to have very level-headed thinking because it's so serious.

00:34:28.000 It is extremely serious what happened with Nordstream 2.

00:34:32.000 And we're looking at obviously an attack.

00:34:37.000 It appears to be an attack and it appears to be done so, of course, intentionally.

00:34:41.000 And whoever did it, we need to hold them accountable.

00:34:45.000 And the real fear is the only person that had anything to gain, or what it appears to be, is, of course, Joe Biden.

00:34:51.000 And he is on record saying it.

00:34:53.000 I hope the CIA was not behind this.

00:34:55.000 I hope, I pray.
