Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we go through the massive trillions of dollars they're trying to spend in Washington, D.C., we talk about Russell Brand, we also talk about how the IRS might be willing to look at your bank account at any time, and I ask the question, is anyone in the Biden regime, does anyone there actually understand how business works? Does anyone actually ever run a business themselves? That and so much more.
00:01:18.000And Tracy from San Clemente, California.
00:01:21.000So look, the significance of this, everybody, is that we're able to hire staff and keep this program strong and bulletproof despite all the attempts to cancel us, take us off air, and to punish us.
00:03:05.000The generals are now testifying in front of the House of Representatives, but there's something else that's happening in our military that is incredibly important that we need to talk about.
00:03:16.000I'm not a professional pheasant hunter, but I do enjoy pheasant hunting.
00:03:19.000I was actually pheasant hunting in South Dakota last week.
00:03:22.000My goodness, this feels a lot longer ago than that.
00:03:25.000And when I was in South Dakota, pheasant hunting, and anyone who pheasant hunts knows this, there's a strategy called flushing, where you use dogs.
00:03:36.000I grew up with a German short-haired pointer, and you would send the dogs out in the fields, and they'll work the fields.
00:03:43.000They'll find the pheasant, and they will provoke the pheasant to then leave the field, fly in the air, and then bang, you have a chance to shoot the pheasant.
00:03:53.000Flushing out requires not just the identification, but the provoking of the pheasant out of the field and up into the air.
00:04:01.000Now, for those of you that know that have shot pheasants, you then call hens and roosters.
00:04:06.000There are some farms where if it flies, it dies, but hopefully, you're not shooting hens.
00:04:11.000And if it's a rooster, hopefully, you will shoot it.
00:04:14.000Pheasant actually tastes pretty good in a soup.
00:04:17.000But the strategy of flushing is this idea that you need to not just find the pheasant, you need to provoke it, identify it, spot it, and then bang, you could take it out.
00:04:29.000This very same strategy of flushing out the pheasants is happening metaphorically, of course, in how Joe Biden is handling the federal vaccine mandate in the military.
00:04:42.000Joe Biden wants to have people that are conservative, strong-willed, independent thinkers identify and get flushed out of the military as if we were shooting pheasants in the field in central, south, or North Dakota to be able to take them out.
00:05:02.000What better way to be able to identify the people that are free thinking, that are conservative, and Christian of the military than to have them identify themselves.
00:05:15.000Now, you could draw your own conclusions as to why Joe Biden would want to identify those people.
00:05:21.000Tucker Carlson made an argument last evening, Cut 64, where he said, this is a plot and a ploy to identify the sincere Christians in the ranks, the free thinkers, and the men with high testosterone levels.
00:05:35.000The point of mandatory vaccination is to identify the sincere Christians in the ranks, the free thinkers, the men with high testosterone levels, and anyone else who does not love Joe Biden and make them leave immediately.
00:06:09.000That's a real thing that was used in the United States Army briefing documents to try and push forward the vaccine.
00:06:16.000Cut 65, Dan Dolloway, U.S. Army veteran, talks about the Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller story.
00:06:25.000And we covered the story of Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller yesterday, and we will continue to, of this Lieutenant Colonel from the Marine Corps who spoke out, was given a final gag order warning, and has now been put in military prison.
00:06:41.000Dan Dolloway, a U.S. Army veteran, he joined Tucker Carlson and pointed out the current administration and regime is ending America's armed service members' ability to think for themselves, using it as a means to gerrymander the organizations that keep us safe.
00:07:12.000You'd have to be crazy not to agree with the administration, right?
00:07:14.000And that's the message that's being sent to America.
00:07:16.000It's not only are we right, not only is the government right and the administration right, not only are you wrong, but you're not entitled to accountability.
00:07:33.000For the last few years, the left has continuously chipped away at all of the institutions that protect America, you know, the military, the police, masculinity itself.
00:07:42.000And you got to wonder where they're going all this.
00:07:43.000Now they're using all the division they've created to basically gerrymander the ranks of these institutions, the Pentagon and the police services and things like that.
00:07:53.000It's actually brilliant if you were trying to weaken the country, which of course Joe Biden is doing at a remarkably dramatic pace.
00:08:02.000Where Biden and his regime and his team of cronies know that there are certain problem childs in the military, problem doctors out there.
00:08:14.000So instead of doing the exhaustive work of having to identify them yourselves, make them self-identify.
00:08:22.000You push forward the vaccine in such a tyrannical, authoritarian, unprecedented way that naturally 15 to 20% of people are going to say, wait a second, this doesn't make any sense.
00:08:31.000I have some understanding of how tyranny works.
00:08:33.000My father grew up in the Soviet Union or my friend got killed in Vietnam.
00:08:37.000I'm like, hold on a second, what exactly is this?
00:08:39.000Aha, you're the one that thinks yourself purge him.
00:08:42.000For those of us that study Soviet history, we know about the Red Terror.
00:08:49.000One aspect of the Red Terror that most people don't realize is how long it lasted.
00:08:56.000In Soviet Russia, it was a campaign of political repression and executions carried out by the Bolsheviks.
00:09:03.000It was four years, from August of 1918 all the way up in 1922.
00:09:10.000You see, when someone assumes as much power as this regime has, and Biden has, they don't play nicely with others.
00:09:21.000Debate, dialogue, discourse, or discussion is something that they're not interested in.
00:09:27.000So therefore, they do what every autocrat does: purge, remove, get the scalpel out, find them, flush them out of the fields.
00:09:42.000But first, you have to find out who they are.
00:09:44.000And that's the biggest question, isn't it?
00:09:50.000Well, in the Soviet Union, they were able to find out who these people were through informants, through what people were writing in their private journals.
00:10:03.000In the Soviet Union, there was anywhere between 50,000 and 200,000 executions on behalf of the party and the Bolsheviks.
00:10:11.000And that was just the beginning of the mass slaughter of what the Soviet Union did to their own citizens.
00:10:20.000And the reason why we have seen, and we will see this only intensify in our country unless we push back against this immediately, is because tyrants' tricks, the tricks of a tyrant are fierce but limited.
00:10:42.000The tricks of a tyrant are not endless.
00:10:48.000The tricks of a tyrant are purge your opponents, lie repeatedly, identify who the political dissidents are, purge them mercilessly, rinse, repeat.
00:11:07.000And what we are now seeing in the United States military is we don't want actually the finest fighting force in the country.
00:11:14.000Instead, we want an obedient civilian occupying force that will be willing to do what we want them to do for the reason I think you can fill in the gaps.
00:11:30.000Is Joe Biden executing an attempted beginning stages of a red terror on his own citizens?
00:11:38.000We're going to play some more tape where you'll see all of a sudden, well, we already have Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller that has been put in prison.
00:11:44.000We see now the imprisonment of the people that were participating and took selfies on January 6th.
00:11:52.000We used to say this is something that third world countries do.
00:11:56.000We need now to say that's got to stop being said.
00:12:00.000This is what America does because the regime does it until we're going to stop them.
00:12:07.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models, Fiat, Kia, and models like Pacifica X-T5, it is seemingly impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional storefront.
00:12:17.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that you can then use for other important things like mortgages or food.
00:12:23.000Why would you choose to spend 30%, 50% or 100% more for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or a new car dealership?
00:12:30.000I'm telling you right now, when you go to rockauto.com and you get the welcome box, competitors, regular prices for a random part.
00:12:36.000Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
00:12:41.000But rockauto.com's prices are the same for everybody and reliably low.
00:12:45.000Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices rather than charging prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.
00:12:52.000Rockauto.com is for everybody and does not require memberships or account login.
00:12:57.000Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:13:02.000Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:13:07.000That's rockauto.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy to navigate.
00:13:11.000Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low and same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.
00:13:16.000Go to rockauto.com right now and see all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:13:20.000Write Charlie Kirk in their how did you hear about us box.
00:13:26.000All the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com.
00:13:31.000How are we supposed to interpret celebrities coming out who were once on the radical left and now are saying things that were and are very obvious?
00:13:45.000Well, Russell Brand, who is a comedian, he's pretty fair on most things.
00:13:53.000He has now come out and he has criticized RussiaGate.
00:13:55.000Now, I'm saying this for a reason because we have a new episode out with Kash Patel that I encourage all of you to listen to.
00:14:03.000But if you want to listen to, in my opinion, the best analysis of the origins of the Russia investigation of Peter Strzok, of Lisa Page, of where this all came from and where we are headed, I'm telling you, Kash Patel, who is being targeted by every major institution on the left that you can imagine, he breaks down how John Durham is building a criminal conspiracy case against the deep state.
00:14:34.000I pushed him on a lot of different things.
00:14:36.000And that's exclusively on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast app of Kash Patel.
00:14:41.000It's one of my favorite episodes we've done in recent times.
00:14:44.000And it's all around this topic of who is going to be held accountable for what was done back in the 2016-2017 timeframe with Peter Strzzok and Lisa Page spying on a presidential campaign and hoping to get away with it.
00:15:04.000Well, Russell Brand now says, well, this is all from the Clinton campaign.
00:15:08.000Russell, the great Sean Hannity has been saying this on his program for literally the last four years.
00:15:15.000But better late than never, I suppose.
00:15:20.000The world moves so fast, there's almost no time for history.
00:15:24.000It seems like years ago that we were hearing that Trump was colluding with Russia, that he wouldn't have won the election without Russia, that his whole presidency was a kind of putin plot.
00:15:33.000Well, there's now serious evidence that it was the Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton acolytes that were directly involved in the generation of what has proven to be a conspiracy.
00:15:45.000Think about how much media you watched.
00:15:47.000Me, a person who I think, broadly speaking, is from the left, a liberal, certainly not a Trump supporting Republican with respect to those of you that are, I find myself in awe, gobsmacked, flabbergasted, and startled by these revelations that RussiaGate was a Democratic conspiracy.
00:16:10.000Now, it's just amazing, though, how so many of these media personalities truly live in these self-created bubbles and vectors, where all he was hearing was that joke that Donald Trump was a Russian agent.
00:16:26.000None of us actually, we all knew that it wasn't true, but it kind of goes to this deeper point, which is if we are not getting our message out to the desired targeted audience of people like Russell Brand, who's a foreign citizen, but whatever, meaning someone who can influence public opinion, then are we really doing our job?
00:16:46.000We knew from the beginning that this entire idea of Donald Trump being purchased by Putin and blackmailed by the Kremlin was nonsense.
00:16:56.000Yet still to this day, there are millions of Americans that think that Donald Trump is bought and paid for by the Russian government, still to this day.
00:17:04.000When in reality, it's Joe Biden who's approving or the Biden regime that is approving Nord Stream 2, the preferential pipeline going into Germany, which highly and preferentially benefits Russia.
00:17:18.000But I want to cover the $3.5 trillion spending package.
00:17:24.000I want to cover what's in it, and I want to get into detail about the IRS.
00:17:32.000There is a component of this new spending package that everyone needs to be made aware of, of how the Internal Revenue Service is about to get an unprecedented amount of power to be able to access your bank accounts, see your transactions, and to be able to control the financial flow of information in our country.
00:17:54.000Not to mention in the $3.5 trillion bill, which we're finally getting a chance to read for the first time, is a component that would allow the federal government to fine businesses like Turning Point USA up to $700,000 through OSHA if they do not comply with vaccine mandates.
00:18:14.000What is going on in this $3.5 trillion bill?
00:18:17.000Well, I am pleased currently, and I'm waiting to be disappointed, that Mitch McConnell is holding the line.
00:18:31.000The infrastructure package has now been put in jeopardy, and the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation build back better bill is also in jeopardy as well.
00:18:41.000Biden has several simultaneous issues on his hands.
00:18:47.000Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
00:18:52.000It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.
00:18:58.000To really stop people from seeing the sites that you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:19:04.000Think about all the time you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' house.
00:19:09.000Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
00:19:14.000And that's still true even when you're in incognito mode.
00:19:18.000What's more, your home internet service provider can also see and record your browsing data.
00:19:24.000In the United States, they're legally allowed to sell that data to advertisers.
00:19:28.000ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that all your private online activity stays just that, private.
00:19:40.000ExpressVPN works on all your devices and it's very easy to use.
00:21:04.000And a year ago or so, if you guys go back into the archives of the Charlie Kirk show, you guys can do that at charliekirk.com or on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
00:21:12.000We did multiple podcasts saying inflation is coming.
00:21:15.000And I'll never forget a lunch that I had with a couple very good friends who are very smart.
00:23:07.000We don't cover the market just because it's quite honestly not very interesting and not as important.
00:23:11.000But it's interesting in this sense that the inflation crisis, the southern border crisis, the Afghanistan crisis, what is going well right now for the Biden regime?
00:23:32.000The first explanation is they know they're going to lose power in the House of Representatives and probably the Senate, and they are going all out.
00:23:38.000It's like the guy that gets the six-month cancer diagnosis from the doctor, like, hey, you're going to be dead by Christmas.
00:23:43.000Like, hey, might as well live it up, I guess.
00:23:46.000Do everything I've always wanted to do: spend trillions of dollars, keep the borders wide open, give money to the Taliban, hand out things for China.
00:23:52.000I'm not going to be in power in six months, so who cares?
00:23:56.000Or the other side of it is they are so arrogant, they are so self-righteous that they think no matter what happens, they might momentarily lose the House of Representatives.
00:24:07.000But the long bend of history will always go towards justice.
00:24:15.000Well, Democrats are currently so distracted by this reconciliation bill that the bipartisan infrastructure package, the con job that too many Republicans voted for, the green energy con job that made Pete Buttigieg the infrastructure czar, which isn't passed yet, thankfully.
00:24:33.000They are all tied to Joe Biden, and they are now putting Mitch McConnell in the driver's seat.
00:24:41.000I have to say, Mitch McConnell's handling this very well.
00:24:44.000Mitch McConnell is holding the line, and he is refusing to give the Democrats what they want.
00:24:51.000So, the Democrats are now proposing to ram through this massive budget as they will continue to run deficits approaching World War II levels: four, five, six trillion dollars of annual deficits.
00:25:08.000So, there's a lot of different competing theories.
00:25:12.000Another theory is that they know that midterm elections are usually bloodbaths for the incumbent party.
00:25:21.000So, they want to screw up stuff so badly that maybe the House can go red for one chamber.
00:25:27.000They can control moderate Republicans to try to still be in control and then win it back because the country will still be in such shambles and they'll win it back as a mandate to win it back.
00:25:51.000As I said to the president, I heard him say, this is a zero-dollar bill because it's all going to be paid for with taxes on the wealthiest corporations and the wealthiest individuals.
00:26:57.000But the real question is: why is it that our political leaders are so economically illiterate when it comes to this idea of a dollar in the private economy or a dollar in a state-run economy?
00:27:12.000A dollar in the private economy is by definition more efficient, will do more to spur and encourage economic growth.
00:27:22.000And of course there are externalities, but to say that it will cost zero is of course a lie.
00:28:44.000Let's play Cut 17 of Pramila Jayapal saying we need to pass the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill first because they know that if they get the bipartisan infrastructure package, they'll tank the reconciliation bill.
00:28:59.000So that's all the stuff that's in the Build Back Better Act, what we're calling the reconciliation bill.
00:29:04.000And our point is just we're ready to vote for both.
00:29:07.000We are excited to vote for both, and we will vote for both, but we need to actually get the reconciliation bill done.
00:29:14.000That was what we said three and a half months ago, Jake.
00:29:17.000And so, you know, our belief is that we'll get there.
00:29:22.000We're very close, but we have to get to that reconciliation bill first.
00:29:28.000A major part of this bill is to strengthen and increase the funding of one of the most corrupt and dangerous organizations on the planet, the Internal Revenue Service.
00:29:40.000Proposed in the bill was to give the IRS access to your bank accounts to be able to see all the information of your accounts holding more than $600.
00:29:51.000Now, this is probably unconstitutional.
00:29:53.000It's probably unwanted search and seizure, unwarranted search and seizure of your private transactions.
00:30:00.000The stated goal of this vast data collection is to uncover tax dodging by the wealthy.
00:30:06.000This proposal is not remotely targeted to that purpose or that population, a letter opposing it said.
00:30:12.000In addition to significant privacy concerns, it would create tremendous liability for all affected parties by requiring the collection of financial information for nearly every American without proper explanation of how the IRS will store, protect, and use this enormous trove of personal financial information.
00:30:30.000We believe that this program is costly for all parties and not fit for purpose.
00:30:34.000So, yeah, basically, Biden can already listen to phone calls through Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants, which we go over in great detail on our podcast with Kash Patel.
00:30:43.000But now he wants to see whether or not you are cashing checks and whether or not you are paying your full amount in taxes.
00:30:49.000Of course, not about paying your full amount in taxes.
00:30:55.000Now, thankfully, the $600 looks like it's dead and they are raising the threshold, but it should be zero.
00:31:03.000They have zero business at all whatsoever.
00:31:08.000Knowing the detail or the amount of the transactions in your bank accounts, we know exactly how this will work.
00:31:13.000If you're a Democrat donor, your bank accounts will never be monitored.
00:31:17.000If you are a Republican or a conservative donor, every transaction, every check, everything you purchase will be monitored down to a molecular level.
00:31:28.000We have never thought that Congress will be our salvation of our country.
00:31:32.000We just have to make sure it's not going to be the damnation of our country.
00:31:37.000And where we are right now, Republicans better continue to hold the line against this $3.5 trillion horror show with the inflation crisis we have, the open borders we have.
00:31:50.000Now, that might mean that we might have to shut down the government.
00:31:53.000Some people say that might mean that we'll default on our debt.
00:31:57.000I don't think that's necessarily the case.
00:32:00.000Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, the place of liberty and freedom, they have four purposes.
00:32:08.000Learning, character, faith, and freedom.
00:32:10.000Education and faith thrive in freedom, and freedom requires an educated people, a people of good character to preserve it.
00:32:17.000Hillsdale College has been providing the education needed to preserve free government for over 175 years.
00:32:24.000It continues to provide that education today, not only to its 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students, but nationwide through its free online courses, its support of classical K-12 charter schools, and its other outreach efforts on behalf of liberty.
00:32:38.000Hillsdale's Articles of Association, dating back to 1844, commit the college to preserving the blessings of civil and religious liberty through the provision of sound learning.
00:32:49.000This learning includes the Constitution.
00:32:52.000It includes the laws of nature and nature's God as described in the Declaration of Independence.
00:32:58.000It includes America's beautiful heritage of liberty that too often is falsely derided or denied.
00:33:04.000I'm actually going to be at Hillsdale College in just a couple days.
00:33:07.000And Hillsdale's model is pursuing truth and defending liberty since 1844.
00:33:12.000It will continue to fight to live up to that motto, come what may.
00:33:16.000Check out the Beacon of the North, the place that is so beautiful you won't believe it.
00:33:20.000They have statues of Frederick Douglass, Winston Churchill, George Washington, Maggie Thatcher, Hillsdale College, the place where liberty and truth are defended.
00:33:39.000How many of the people that are actually creating economic policy in our country have ever employed a human being that have actually had to go raise capital, risk that capital, and then go back to those investors and create value or create revenue?
00:33:54.000How many of these people have ever done that?
00:33:57.000We employ over 200 people at Turning Point USA.
00:34:00.000We employ people here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:34:02.000I'm intimately familiar of what it means to have to go without pay for years to make sure that your employees are paid and your company moves forward.
00:34:14.000Foregoing a salary, working through the night.
00:34:17.000How many of these people have ever understood how capital flows actually work?
00:34:24.000Obviously, the president's commitment remains not raising taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
00:34:30.000There are some, and I'm not sure if this is the case in this report, who argue that in the past, companies have passed on these costs to consumers.
00:34:39.000I'm not sure if that's the argument being made in this report.
00:34:42.000We feel that that's unfair and absurd, and the American people would not stand for that.
00:34:46.000What do you mean the American people want?
00:35:01.000They're going to march in the streets?
00:35:02.000Like what kind of this only someone who is just a trained puppet, a trained apparatchik like Jen Saki, would think that economic pressure somehow devolves into political activism.
00:35:15.000Oh, yeah, somehow people are going to march in the streets because of a 4% adjustment on coffee prices.
00:35:28.000You see, the people who are going to suffer the most are minorities and people that work with their hands and people that are actually in a middle-class lifestyle that are currently suffering under it.
00:35:41.000And so it really does kind of beg this question.
00:35:44.000And it does, you know, when you just kind of wonder, which is, are these people intentionally trying to destroy the economy or do they actually think that the American economy is something where, yeah, people are going to stand for it?
00:35:59.000They have never employed a human being in their life.
00:36:02.000In fact, they don't even desire to be around people that have employed human beings in their life.
00:36:08.000In fact, this would be an interesting study.
00:36:10.000And we will do this on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:36:12.000I'm going to go through the senior administration in the Biden regime and the people in the Biden cabinet and find out how many of them have ever run a business in their life.
00:36:25.000Not like some sort of stupid consulting thing where they had like 10 people.
00:36:28.000No, I'm talking about a legitimate business with capital overlays, with paycheck, like massive payroll, pressures of fulfilling those obligations.
00:36:42.000And Trump's administration was full of business people.
00:36:44.000Some of those business people actually wanted really bad ideas and bad policies.
00:36:49.000But there was this idea that we understand the pressures of what happens when you raise taxes belligerently, when you increase regulations with no sort of basis whatsoever.
00:37:01.000It crushes the common man, the middle-class worker.
00:37:06.000Okay, I want to get to this tape here.
00:37:09.000In Georgia, we have now found out that over 19,000 ballots were counted from a single Zuckerberg dropbox over one weekend, but surveillance footage shows only 24 people dropping off ballots.
00:37:54.000What's happening in Georgia is a developing story.
00:37:56.000We're keeping our eyes on it, including the Arizona audit, which is a very important report that we covered in great detail that shows how the election itself was illegally conducted.
00:38:13.000We're going to keep our eyes on Georgia.
00:38:15.000Just to reiterate what he said, new evidence shows that 19,000 ballots were counted from one Zuckerberg-funded dropbox over one weekend, but surveillance footage shows that only 24 people were dropping off ballots.
