00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:01.000 Byron and Biggs, two great congressmen.
00:00:03.000 I think Byron should be vice president.
00:00:04.000 What do you guys think?
00:00:05.000 I want your thoughts on that.

00:00:18.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:19.000 Here we go.
00:00:20.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:22.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:24.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:28.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:31.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:32.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:33.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:35.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:40.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:00:41.000 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.
00:00:50.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:53.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:02.000 Joining us now is Congressman Byron Donalds, who I think Trump should choose to be his vice president.
00:01:08.000 And actually, it's fitting because Byron Donalds just endorsed Donald Trump.
00:01:12.000 Byron, how are you doing?
00:01:12.000 Welcome back to the program.
00:01:14.000 How are you doing, Charlie?
00:01:15.000 Oh, I'm going to be in the middle of the day.
00:01:16.000 You're getting me in trouble, man.
00:01:17.000 I'm getting in trouble, Charlie.
00:01:19.000 I'm going to be doing it.
00:01:20.000 I mean, I just, I'm an open, open book.
00:01:22.000 I'm going to be calling him and telling them, look, Byron's the guy.
00:01:25.000 I've said that privately and publicly, and you could just smile, which you do very well.
00:01:30.000 You got a much better smile than I do.
00:01:32.000 Byron, you endorse Donald Trump.
00:01:33.000 Tell us why.
00:01:34.000 Yeah.
00:01:35.000 Look, man, Charlie, we got to be ready day one.
00:01:38.000 China's on the move. 0.55
00:01:39.000 Everybody knows about Russia.
00:01:41.000 They're trying to negotiate around our dollar.
00:01:44.000 These are serious foreign policy issues, and you need somebody who knows these relationships, who, when he steps right into the oval, every world leader knows what time it is and that America is not going to go anywhere.
00:01:57.000 That's step one.
00:01:58.000 Step two is you need somebody who knows how to push through an economic agenda, a border security agenda, a financial stability agenda, and get spending under control all on day one, where all the members of the Senate, no matter what their personal feelings are, will know exactly what the timetable is.
00:02:16.000 Donald Trump is that guy.
00:02:17.000 Number three, I mean, look, if you talk to Republican voters around the country, what we already know is about half of the voting public that votes Republican is supporting Donald Trump right now.
00:02:28.000 I think that only solidifies.
00:02:30.000 It doesn't deteriorate.
00:02:32.000 I think it only gets stronger as the time goes by.
00:02:34.000 So tell us about the dinner.
00:02:36.000 I think it was last night.
00:02:37.000 Very powerful, where I think there was nearly a dozen of the Florida Republican delegation with Donald Trump.
00:02:46.000 Tell us about the dinner.
00:02:47.000 You're right there, right near Donald Trump, right near the middle.
00:02:50.000 And you see some great people there, Matt Gates, Ana Paulina Luna.
00:02:53.000 Tell us about the dinner.
00:02:55.000 It was actually, we just talked about a lot of things, talked policy.
00:02:59.000 Obviously, talked politics.
00:03:00.000 You can't have that many political people in the room not talk politics.
00:03:03.000 But I think really it was just his way of showing appreciation for the members that decided to endorse him.
00:03:09.000 So it was a light evening.
00:03:11.000 We had fun.
00:03:12.000 He was telling stories, you know, cracking jokes like he's apt to do.
00:03:16.000 And it was just really cool to be there.
00:03:18.000 And for the members of the Florida delegation to do something other than just talk, you know, Capitol Hill stuff all the time.
00:03:24.000 We really just kind of took a broader view of the country, where the country's going, the things that we need to try to get accomplished.
00:03:31.000 And so it was just really a great evening.
00:03:33.000 So Byron, you're on oversight, and there's a lot happening right now.
00:03:38.000 So let's just start with kind of the big picture here.
00:03:40.000 Are we finally going to be able to get the documents out to prove the Hunter Biden, you know, and the Biden criminal family?
00:03:48.000 What is the progress you guys are making on that?
00:03:50.000 Whether it be, you know, the Treasury finally gave you guys access to the Bidens' suspicious activity.
00:03:55.000 Tell us about it.
00:03:57.000 So we were in there on Monday.
00:03:59.000 I was there reading some of these reports in there for a couple hours, and I got to tell you, Charlie, it's damning.
00:04:05.000 The first thing, to take a step back off the documents, anybody at the Department of Justice who actually sits down and just reads this stuff, putting aside their politics and who they want to root for, you can clearly see that there is a web of corruption, a web of deception around Joe Biden.
00:04:22.000 It is Hunter Biden.
00:04:23.000 We all know about him, but it's also Jim Biden, the president's brother.
00:04:27.000 And so many family members are getting money.
00:04:29.000 I read one of the reports dealing with the Russian mayor's wife and the money that was transferred over into a different company that then was transferred to another company.
00:04:39.000 And then members of the family are getting money as a result.
00:04:42.000 It is high corruption.
00:04:43.000 And the part where this is where it matters for the American people, you can't tell me that Joe Biden does not know what his son and his brother are doing on a repeated basis.
00:04:54.000 You can't possibly tell me that.
00:04:57.000 So the easy question is: is his judgment as commander in chief compromised because of the massive amounts of money that is going to the Biden family?
00:05:08.000 And yes, I would include the big guy in that.
00:05:10.000 So we're actually, we finally have access to these documents.
00:05:14.000 It's a massive amount of documents.
00:05:16.000 We're going through all those right now.
00:05:18.000 And I think we're just scratching the surface. 0.99
00:05:20.000 You put that in conjunction with this IRS whistleblower that just came out and said, listen, this is, they are covering his butt. 0.98
00:05:29.000 They are protecting them. 0.95
00:05:30.000 They are protecting them.
00:05:31.000 This actually is an internal obstruction of justice that needs to be done.
00:05:36.000 And I think we're just getting started.
00:05:37.000 Yeah.
00:05:38.000 And so the question is: is Biden actively sending emissaries, sending a delegation into the Internal Revenue Service, into the Treasury Department?
00:05:45.000 By the way, for those of you that know your Washington, D.C. geography, it is steps in the White House.
00:05:50.000 It's literally the White House and the Treasury right next door.
00:05:53.000 And you could get to the Treasury in 30 seconds if you leave the White House.
00:05:56.000 So it's not exactly a long trip.
00:05:58.000 Is Biden actively sending people into the Treasury Department?
00:06:03.000 Let's play Cut 77.
00:06:04.000 IRS whistleblower saying the federal investigation of Hunter Biden has been marred by special treatment.
00:06:09.000 Not a shock, but we're finally getting evidence of what we already knew to be true.
00:06:11.000 Play Cut 77.
00:06:13.000 Attorney Mark Lytle's client is a supervisory special agent at the IRS who's prepared to tell Congress the investigation he's been working on has been hampered by what he thinks is special treatment.
00:06:25.000 Lytle wouldn't talk in specifics, declining to identify either his client or the target of the investigation his client helped conduct.
00:06:33.000 But CBS News has learned the investigation the whistleblower worked on is about Hunter Biden.
00:06:39.000 Today, Lytle sent this letter to Congress claiming his client could provide information that would contradict sworn testimony by a senior political appointee.
00:06:49.000 CBS News has learned that was Attorney General Merrick Garland.
00:06:54.000 Again, this is all about Merrick Garland.
00:06:58.000 You could only imagine how many interference campaigns are currently being run by the Biden regime, right?
00:07:04.000 How many different layers of interference are they running?
00:07:07.000 It's a very courageous whistleblower here.
00:07:10.000 So is this whistleblower going to get whistleblower protection?
00:07:14.000 Yeah, we're going to do everything we can to protect him because, Charlie, I really want to make this.
00:07:20.000 This is important.
00:07:20.000 This is not Republican Democrat politics.
00:07:23.000 We have a serious problem where, in my view, this is obstruction.
00:07:27.000 They are stopping investigations.
00:07:29.000 They are suppressing information.
00:07:31.000 We already know how they acted during the last presidential campaign, suppressing free speech.
00:07:36.000 We found out in a congressional hearing that Tony Blinken, when he was an advisor to Joe Biden during the campaign, he's the one that went around and got those 51 national security experts to sign this letter about how the Hunter Biden laptop was just Russian disinformation.
00:07:53.000 And that was a flat out lie.
00:07:55.000 Tony Blinken is now Secretary of State, and he's been a disaster.
00:07:59.000 You have this entire apparatus around Joe Biden to protect Joe Biden so that the radical left agenda can move forward without a misstep.
00:08:08.000 And again, if Bill Barr was in Merrick Garland's shoes and he was quote unquote running interference like this, you already know what the big media would be doing.
00:08:18.000 It will be wall-to-wall coverage.
00:08:20.000 It would be nonstop.
00:08:21.000 The fact that the other day, MSNBC and CNN are talking about, and these are tragic, these are tragedies in our country, these shootings that have occurred around the country, but they're covering shootings around the country, A-block, A-block, B-block, C-block, and they're ignoring corruption in the White House, in the Department of Justice, to block these investigations.
00:08:42.000 It really is truly disgusting for you.
00:08:44.000 For years, they accused Donald Trump of obstruction of justice, and he never did any of this.
00:08:48.000 And now we have a smoking gun.
00:08:50.000 I sure hope this individual is given whistleblower protection and that he is able to get the facts out there.
00:08:56.000 So we have other criminal potential activity by Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, Foreign Registration Act.
00:09:02.000 We have Sith Syphius registrations.
00:09:05.000 We have the whole Mike Morrell wrinkling angle.
00:09:07.000 How do you guys even keep this all straight?
00:09:09.000 Better question: how do you prioritize it?
00:09:10.000 Because it's easy to get distracted.
00:09:13.000 Well, for me, and I'm not going to speak for chairmans Jordan and Comer.
00:09:17.000 They're doing fantastic.
00:09:18.000 But for me, it's always about follow the money.
00:09:20.000 You follow the money trail.
00:09:21.000 That'll give you your order of importance.
00:09:23.000 And then everything will flow after that.
00:09:26.000 My personal view, and this goes back to all the wire transfers and all these side business deals that have been made across the globe because Jim Biden and Hunter Biden said they can deliver stuff through Joe Biden, that Joe Biden would execute the strategies while they were getting all this money.
00:09:41.000 That's what I think happened.
00:09:43.000 And what you have here, in my view, is money laundering, tax evasion, and you start there, and then it builds off of that.
00:09:50.000 But the one thing, the one commitment I've always made before when we took the majority is House Republicans are going to follow the information.
00:09:57.000 We're going to follow the facts.
00:09:58.000 We're going to follow the data.
00:10:00.000 We're not just going to throw hyperbole against the wall.
00:10:02.000 But I'm going to tell you, everything I've seen so far, it reeks of money laundering and corruption.
00:10:07.000 It's this web, like I said, it's a web of deception, frankly, around Joe Biden.
00:10:12.000 And it's high time that the American people were made aware that I think their president is compromised.
00:10:21.000 Are you feeling burned out and a little tired?
00:10:23.000 Look, I want to tell you about something that I've become a big believer in.
00:10:25.000 And if you do not know about it, you got to research it.
00:10:28.000 You could fact check me.
00:10:29.000 It's NAD.
00:10:31.000 NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
00:10:38.000 And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to go actually get it to the next level.
00:10:52.000 And so what does NAD stand for?
00:10:54.000 Well, try to take a note here.
00:10:55.000 It is nicotinamide adenonide dinucleotide.
00:11:00.000 I did that pretty well, don't you think?
00:11:02.000 NAD.
00:11:03.000 It's a coenzyme that is central to metabolism.
00:11:06.000 Again, don't take my word for it.
00:11:07.000 Go watch a YouTube video or two or three or four and go fact-check me on it.
00:11:11.000 I've been taking NAD for quite some time.
00:11:13.000 And people say, Charlie, how do you travel 2,700 days in a decade?
00:11:17.000 How do you do the 300 days a year?
00:11:19.000 How do you do that?
00:11:20.000 Look, it's not only because of this.
00:11:21.000 I eat well and do other things as well.
00:11:23.000 But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
00:11:31.000 I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
00:11:34.000 And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
00:11:43.000 When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
00:11:46.000 And that's a must for me.
00:11:47.000 It's not just that.
00:11:48.000 It's for vitality.
00:11:49.000 It helps your immune system.
00:11:51.000 It's all good stuff.
00:11:53.000 So, go to strongcell.com forward slash Charlie today and see for yourself.
00:11:57.000 It's not a stimulant.
00:11:58.000 It doesn't contain any caffeine.
00:12:00.000 I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
00:12:02.000 NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
00:12:13.000 And look, it's not a magic pill.
00:12:14.000 It's like, oh, I'm going to start taking this and I'm going to be super smart.
00:12:16.000 No, no, no, it's an additive, an amplifier on people that want to get better.
00:12:21.000 But I could tell you, it makes a big difference.
00:12:24.000 I've personally seen undeniable benefits from taking Strong Cell and engaging with NAD every day.
00:12:29.000 So I had to partner with them.
00:12:30.000 I vetted them.
00:12:31.000 I checked out their ingredient profile.

00:13:13.000 So, so Byron, tell us about some of the other weaponization of government investigations that are occurring.
00:13:18.000 I know that we have moms and dads being spied on by school boards.
00:13:22.000 We have the whole Fauci thing as well, which I know you guys are pursuing.
00:13:26.000 Give us kind of a global update.
00:13:29.000 Well, actually, you know, bringing up Fauci, there's so many other things that have been popping.
00:13:32.000 You know, so you could forget about him, but we're not going to.
00:13:35.000 That's going to remain.
00:13:38.000 The collusion between elements, what it appears of the DNC and the FBI with respect to Twitter or the social media companies, that's going to continue.
00:13:47.000 Real quick, take a step back.
00:13:48.000 So you got this knucklehead Alvin Bragg with his phony indictment in Manhattan.
00:13:53.000 Consider the fact that you did have people in the FBI who knew the laptop was real.
00:13:59.000 You did have Anthony Blinken, and now we know he was the one circulating this letter to get all these national security experts to say that this is Russian disinformation.
00:14:10.000 You did have them completely interfere with the 2020 election.
00:14:15.000 That is fact.
00:14:16.000 We have actually proven that in oversight committee.
00:14:19.000 The southern border, we've not forgotten about that.
00:14:22.000 That's going to continue to go under investigation.
00:14:24.000 We just had an oversight this week.
00:14:26.000 The inspector general of Afghanistan, the cigar, he testified in open hearing that the State Department and USAID is violating federal law and not complying with the inspector general of Afghanistan, who is trying to complete his reports on debotched withdrawal by the Biden administration.
00:14:49.000 All those things are happening.
00:14:51.000 So not only do you have corruption in terms of DOJ, you know, doing all this other stuff, blocking the Hunter Biden investigations, but you have Tony Blinken, again, front and center and USAID not complying with the Inspector General.
00:15:06.000 The Inspector General testified to that in open hearing.
00:15:08.000 So you have that going on.
00:15:10.000 We talked about the whistleblower.
00:15:12.000 It's like whack-a-mole.
00:15:13.000 Every time you're focused on one thing, another thing pops up that you have to investigate.
00:15:17.000 And look, I think to make it crystal clear, you have an administration that doesn't know what they're doing.
00:15:22.000 They are failing the American people.
00:15:24.000 And when you see the true depths of their failure, it's steeped in corruption and payoffs and these backdoor alliances through the Biden family.
00:15:34.000 And it goes from one to the, I mean, we have a whole thing on the Taibbi saga.
00:15:39.000 So let's talk about this.
00:15:40.000 This is what I just laugh about, right?
00:15:42.000 So the left, they are getting so angry and they're screaming about how Vladimir Putin has imprisoned the Wall Street Journal reporter.
00:15:51.000 It's bad, shouldn't happen.
00:15:52.000 What kind of country imprisons journalists? 1.00
00:15:54.000 Meanwhile, that lunatic in the House of Representatives, I can't remember her name, I think she's from the Virgin Islands. 0.95
00:16:00.000 She's calling for the imprisonment of Matt Taibbi for not sharing the sources.
00:16:06.000 So, who's the ones that want to actually imprison journalists?
00:16:08.000 They raid James O'Keefe, they raid Steve Bannon.
00:16:11.000 So, Byron, I'm going to just House Democrat Stacey Plaskett. 1.00
00:16:15.000 She's the worst.
00:16:15.000 So, how do you respond, Byron?
00:16:17.000 I'm sure you hear this all the time.
00:16:18.000 You know, you're down in Collier County.
00:16:19.000 I'm going to be there next week, and there's a lot of great, great patriots down there.
00:16:23.000 How do you respond to the impatience that a lot of the conservative base has right now, where they're saying, okay, where's the handcuffs?
00:16:30.000 When are people going to jail?
00:16:31.000 And you got to remind people that's not the House's role.
00:16:33.000 They can oversee, they can do things.
00:16:35.000 But how do you respond to that?
00:16:37.000 Our response is real simple.
00:16:39.000 Like, we can't do what the Democrats did in terms of they just started lashing out, you know, left, right, and center because we don't have big media to support our narratives.
00:16:49.000 We have to go through the painstaking process of having the evidence, following up, exposing it, being consistent with it, and then lay essentially all the breadcrumbs, blow the breadcrumbs, excuse me, for law enforcement to do their job.
00:17:03.000 We have to do the hard work of actually communicating to the American people and explaining that the left's way of running government is a complete and utter disaster. 0.97
00:17:12.000 And they are the height of hypocrisy. 0.97
00:17:15.000 They don't care about the standards. 0.99
00:17:17.000 All they care about is their agenda.
00:17:20.000 The last thing, and I would say this to conservatives: you got to just stay in the fight and be in the fight.
00:17:25.000 It's like a football game, Charlie.
00:17:27.000 If you don't strap up because you think that the referees are against you, I can guarantee you, you're going to lose.
00:17:32.000 So you have a choice to make.
00:17:33.000 Do you strap up and you fight and give it everything you have, knowing that the playing field tilted against you and the refs don't like you, or do you just go home?
00:17:42.000 If you go home, it's all over for all of us.
00:17:44.000 And frankly, the political left wants us to go home.
00:17:48.000 That's right.
00:17:48.000 Because again, all they care about is the agenda, first, second, and third, and they will do anything to make sure it's accomplished.
00:17:55.000 But when you talk about whether it's impeachment or anything after that, we have to lay out a credible, detailed argument that even the reporters on CNN, you know, if I go on there and tell them, look, this is why, even they can't really dispute it.
00:18:10.000 All they might say is, oh, but what about the norms?
00:18:12.000 What about the norms?
00:18:13.000 But the left has broken the norms.
00:18:15.000 It is incumbent on conservatives to demonstrate that we are the ones who are truly fighting for the souls of America.
00:18:23.000 We are the one that's fighting for our democracy.
00:18:25.000 We're the ones that want to maintain the greatest republic man's ever known.
00:18:28.000 And we got to be consistent, do the hard work, and then go out and win elections.
00:18:33.000 Byron Donalds, thanks so much.
00:18:35.000 We're going to figure out a way of the 12th Amendment, if we can have two people from Florida. 0.93
00:18:38.000 We'll see what we can do.
00:18:39.000 Oh, my God.

00:19:40.000 Check it out.
00:19:44.000 Joining us now is Congressman Andy Biggs.
00:19:46.000 So many stories to talk about.
00:19:47.000 Let's start with the IRS whistleblower story.
00:19:50.000 We just had Byron Donaldson who spoke about it.
00:19:52.000 Congressman Biggs, what do we know about this whistleblower and will he receive or she receive whistleblower protections?
00:20:00.000 The plan is to give full whistleblower protection to this individual.
00:20:05.000 We know this is an IRS person with senior contacts.
00:20:09.000 And I've been talking to individuals who know a little bit more than about this individual.
00:20:16.000 This is somebody very well situated, very credible, a supervisor in a particular area and knows these issues incredibly well and is credible.
00:20:32.000 And quite frankly, when this happens, Charlie, and we actually break this thing even in an even more public way, if the left-wing media doesn't cover it, then they'll never cover anything because this guy, this individual is implicating somebody, a senior political appointee with basically perjury in Congress,
00:20:59.000 talks about this conflict of interest that was there.
00:21:04.000 And also, and this is what I'm really intrigued about, talks about the politicization and the preferential treatment of this high-profile individual who we are all guessing to be Hunter Biden.
00:21:22.000 And some people have opined and speculated, and I don't want to get too much speculation, but that maybe it's Merrick Garland is the individual who committed perjury before Congress.
00:21:34.000 Whoever it is, we need to get to the bottom of it, and I believe we will.
00:21:38.000 So the question then is, was Merrick Garland acting alone?
00:21:41.000 Of course he wasn't.
00:21:42.000 I mean, who in the Biden administration was communicating with Merrick Garland and how?
00:21:47.000 That really is the question, right?
00:21:48.000 Because Merrick Garland is merely a proxy.
00:21:51.000 And then, so the other question then is: if Merrick Garland is interfering with the IRS investigation, is Merrick Garland interfering with the active criminal investigation of the DOJ of Hunter Biden and the special counsel with Jack Smith?
00:22:05.000 Meaning, if they're interfering with some tax dispute at the IRS, there's much more serious criminal investigations the Bidens are facing.
00:22:13.000 Yeah, no, you're 100% right.
00:22:15.000 And we have to, part of our problem has been this administration has been dragging its feet on every request, every subpoena that we've been trying to get.
00:22:26.000 And so we're relying on whistleblowers, and we keep getting more whistleblowers.
00:22:32.000 And so you've got different whistleblowers that came out this week as well with regard to, say, that 51, the 51 people who signed on to a bogus letter claiming.
00:22:41.000 That's nonsense.
00:22:43.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:22:44.000 So is Merrick Garland?
00:22:47.000 I would suspect he's into it up to his eyeballs.
00:22:50.000 And who in the Biden administration?
00:22:51.000 Well, he's the attorney general.
00:22:53.000 So he is at the very highest level.
00:22:59.000 And I think it's going to be very difficult.
00:23:01.000 And I look back this past weekend while I was flying back and forth into this study of the Watergate.
00:23:08.000 It's really hard for a president to say that they don't know what their attorney general or the director of the CIA is doing.
00:23:14.000 Yes.
00:23:15.000 And so, but here's my fear, though, Andy, is that the media is going to just treat this like Tony Bobulinsky.
00:23:21.000 Is it different because it's an active senior official of the IRS, right?
00:23:25.000 Is this so?
00:23:27.000 Let me ask you just from a PR communication standpoint, how do we ensure that this story doesn't get buried?
00:23:32.000 What can we learn from previous stories where this narrative disappears?
00:23:37.000 What can we do, if anything, if the answer is nothing, but is there anything we can do to force the hand, public hearings, for example, bring that whistleblower out on a daytime television hearing?
00:23:46.000 That would be awfully hard to ignore.
00:23:50.000 Yeah, I think we have got to do it in a dramatic fashion, not unlike our Democrats have taught us.
00:23:59.000 And that is to have this in a full-blown hearing, transparent and open.
00:24:08.000 So you do an afternoon hearing that rolls into the primetime television watching and have all of the conservative media outlets have got to flood the market.
00:24:18.000 But what will happen is it will force the left to not be able to ignore this.
00:24:24.000 So for instance, in the Blinken story on the 51, you saw CBS couldn't ignore it.
00:24:30.000 So they had it there.
00:24:32.000 And that's really the only way we get it out there is to push it openly, notoriously in major hearings in a way that all of the conservative media is talking about it.
00:24:47.000 So it will just, it will leak into the left-wing media.
00:24:52.000 But left-wing media is going to fight on this, as you know.
00:24:55.000 And so, I mean, they did this at the J6 hearings and Michael Cohen, but I think adding to the drama of this, the buildup is really important or else, because here's my fear, Andy, is sometimes, you know, Jim Jordan and all you guys, you're doing a wonderful job, but we're getting a lot of these as letters, right?
00:24:55.000 Yeah.
00:25:10.000 You guys are issuing, no one reads them, right?
00:25:12.000 I mean, we do.
00:25:13.000 You know what I mean?
00:25:13.000 That's right.
00:25:14.000 It's like, oh, wow, look at this new letter of a sworn.
00:25:16.000 Here's the difference, right?
00:25:17.000 Imagine a letter, sworn testimony that Joe Biden embezzled.
00:25:21.000 Great.
00:25:22.000 All of a sudden, somebody on primetime TV, I can say from first-hand knowledge that Joe Biden embezzled.
00:25:27.000 In the era of television, it's completely, it's the same thing.
00:25:27.000 Boom.
00:25:30.000 The essence is the same, but it's totally different.
00:25:33.000 And so I please go ahead.
00:25:36.000 You're right.
00:25:37.000 No, I was going to say, you're right.
00:25:38.000 That's my point is nobody reads our, I mean, we don't get our press releases beyond the conservative.
00:25:45.000 That's right.
00:25:46.000 It's not that nobody reads it, but it doesn't have deep penetration.
00:25:48.000 It doesn't.
00:25:49.000 Exactly.
00:25:50.000 Exactly.
00:25:51.000 So you're going to have to have to set this up where you're bringing in somebody like it would be great to have this whistleblower go forward.
00:26:03.000 It'd be great to bring in somebody like this Mike Morrell character.
00:26:07.000 Have them testify before prime time under oath about basically the Biden and the Biden campaigns of perpetuation of this Russian hoax because they wanted to impact the election because that's what Morell testified to.
00:26:23.000 And then you go on and you say, and then you bring in the whistleblower on this Hunter Biden stuff too, because they're all tension.
00:26:31.000 They're all interlinked, right?
00:26:32.000 So, but if you can get them on primetime TV, somebody's going to watch it.
00:26:39.000 It's going to leak into the left-wing media.
00:26:44.000 And you're right.
00:26:47.000 And that's, and I'm trying to say the same thing.
00:26:49.000 And by the way, I think this is the way you get the media on it is you allow Democrats to ask questions too, because they'll make flesh.
00:26:56.000 Absolutely.
00:26:57.000 You allow, the thing is, Stacey Plaskett or whatever her name is, she'll say something crazy like, we got to imprison you.
00:27:03.000 You know, they're going to say crazy stuff, right?
00:27:05.000 And that's only going to add to, you know, for example, you get your question for five minutes, like, okay, Elon Omar, any questions?
00:27:13.000 What the heck is she going to say?
00:27:14.000 Right.
00:27:15.000 I mean, for her, she's going to try to, they're going to try to question the credibility, which, by the way, is only going to help you guys, I think.
00:27:22.000 So I agree.
00:27:23.000 I'm going to privately message Speaker McCarthy's team and say, hey, you got to do this in the most dramatic way possible, right?
00:27:30.000 It's almost you got to produce a cable TV show.
00:27:32.000 We mocked the Democrats for it for J6.
00:27:35.000 And the reason that it was worthy of mocking, there was no substance.
00:27:38.000 But here you have a senior level official.
00:27:40.000 This is Watergate on steroids, right?
00:27:42.000 I mean, we're talking about This makes Watergate look like child's play, and maybe people don't care and they roll their eyes.
00:27:49.000 I can't tell you how significant this is, everybody, because we've always known, we've known in state, and many people in our audience, they're enlightened, they get it.
00:27:56.000 But, Congressman, we have not seen a smoking gun so clear if this ends up materializing the way it looks like of someone saying, No, no, no, no, our work to investigate the tax of Hunter Biden is being directly interfered with by Merrick Garland and Joe Biden, effectively.
00:28:14.000 Yeah, I mean, just think of that.
00:28:16.000 I mean, you know, Charlie, last weekend when I was flying around, I was actually reviewing a history of Watergate.
00:28:24.000 This makes Watergate pale.
00:28:27.000 People forget, oh, what was Watergate?
00:28:28.000 Oh, somebody broke in and they didn't get anything done.
00:28:31.000 They actually planted a bug where they were hearing something about the private lives of people.
00:28:35.000 What you have here is an obstruction of justice, not just some tangential thing.
00:28:43.000 You actually have a criminal investigation that has been politicized and thwarted.
00:28:51.000 I mean, so this, you, this is a major, major thing going on here.
00:28:56.000 And I personally believe, and I'm with you, I'm always a big believer.
00:29:01.000 Let the Democrats have their five minutes.
00:29:03.000 I mean, we saw it in the criminal justice thing, how they were so condescending to the victims in New York City.
00:29:09.000 How embarrassing was that? 0.96
00:29:11.000 We saw it in our borders bills, border security bills hearing this past week, how they don't even understand and they show themselves to be ignoramuses. 0.95
00:29:22.000 Let them come in and show their inherent authoritarian bias and how wonderful that'll be.
00:29:30.000 Because you know what they'll do?
00:29:31.000 They'll try to turn it back.
00:29:32.000 I guarantee you, they'll try to turn it back and say, oh, but let's compare it to January 6th, Charlie.
00:29:36.000 Let's compare it to the insurrection of January 6th, because they have no defense for a president of the United States who is compromised and his staff is thwarting the criminal investigation of his own son.
00:29:49.000 Yeah, direct interference.
00:29:51.000 And we've known this has been happening for quite some time, but now we very well might have the smoking gun.
00:29:58.000 Very simple vote.
00:29:59.000 Not a single Democrat decided to vote to protect female sports.
00:30:03.000 And for you in the audience out there, if you have a Democrat in your life, if you have a young woman athlete that might think they're a left-winger, just show them this vote.
00:30:09.000 Say that not a single Democrat, the Democrat Party feels women's sports are worthy of protecting.
00:30:14.000 Your thoughts, Andy Biggs.
00:30:15.000 Yeah, easy vote.
00:30:18.000 We had it in the Judiciary Committee before, same result as it was coming through.
00:30:23.000 Every Republican votes for it.
00:30:24.000 Every Democrat votes against it.
00:30:26.000 And if you want to get a picture of this, Charlie, and your audience, of how what the Democrat Party actually thinks about this, look at the comments from minority leader Jakeem Jeffries after this vote.
00:30:39.000 He basically said, oh, it's a non-issue.
00:30:41.000 It's no big deal.
00:30:42.000 And the reality is, having had daughters who competed athletically, it is a big deal.
00:30:49.000 It is a huge deal.
00:30:51.000 And it shows how out of touch the Democrats really are with the American people and the plight and the scenarios.
00:31:00.000 And I'll just say this: this is their intention to basically change our entire culture.
00:31:07.000 And this is one more way that they were trying to do it.
00:31:10.000 And thank goodness, you know, Greg Stewie, Virginia Fox, they were the ones who really pushed this through our Congress this time and good on them. 0.98
00:31:20.000 Women's sports will be a thing of the past in a couple of years and past. 1.00
00:31:24.000 And again, I'm not exactly an activist for female sports. 1.00
00:31:27.000 I just believe that people with mental delusions should not be able to interfere with female activity.
00:31:33.000 All right.
00:31:34.000 So, Congressman, I want to ask you about some other upcoming votes.
00:31:36.000 I mean, we had yesterday, Senator Hawley on the border, 5,000 people a day coming across the southern border.
00:31:42.000 You are, in my opinion, the most articulate and passionate on this topic, being on a border state.
00:31:47.000 Maorkas says that the border is completely and totally secure.
00:31:50.000 He should go to jail. 0.98
00:31:51.000 He's a traitor to the United States. 0.94
00:31:53.000 What are we doing to try to hold Majorkis and these gang of criminals accountable? 0.87
00:31:58.000 I'm begging my colleagues to join my attempt to impeach Maorkis.
00:32:04.000 You know, Charlie, I've got Republicans who won't impeach Majorca. 0.99
00:32:09.000 They say this is Biden's deal.
00:32:10.000 And I tell them, it isn't Biden's deal.
00:32:12.000 Biden's not running the border.
00:32:13.000 Maorcas is running the border.
00:32:14.000 This is his policies, and he needs to be removed.
00:32:17.000 He is creating a danger.
00:32:19.000 And guess what?
00:32:20.000 Title 42 goes away, Charlie, in just about three weeks now.
00:32:24.000 And when that goes away, you're going to see a total rush to the border.
00:32:30.000 There are tens of thousands of people already gathering on the southern side of our border waiting for Title 42 to go away.
00:32:38.000 That's what they want.
00:32:39.000 They're going to come on.
00:32:40.000 That's what they want.
00:32:41.000 And guess what?
00:32:42.000 I've been to multiple sectors and multiple sectors in the last month.
00:32:47.000 There is not a single local law enforcement or border sector chief who says that they're ready for the surge that's about to happen.
00:32:55.000 So if you thought the Haitian bridge crisis of a year or so ago was rough when we had about 25 to 28,000 Haitians come across over three days and they were underneath that bridge.
00:33:07.000 Guess what?
00:33:08.000 You're going to have that in probably six out of the nine southern border sectors and none of them are prepared for it.
00:33:15.000 People are going to be released right on the streets.
00:33:17.000 They're not going to be, they don't vet them now.
00:33:20.000 They can't vet them now, but they won't vet them.
00:33:23.000 And they're going to be in our communities, especially if you're in a border state.
00:33:27.000 That's what's going to happen.
00:33:29.000 It's going to be overwhelming, Charlie.
00:33:31.000 And so, Congressman, in closing here, why do they want so many illegals to come across the country? 1.00
00:33:36.000 What is the motive of this regime?
00:33:40.000 You know who asked me that this week?
00:33:42.000 Jerry Nadler says, why do you guys think we want this?
00:33:44.000 And I said, because I think you want this because you want to do it.
00:33:47.000 But here's the way to think of it.
00:33:48.000 You've got some groups that want to reconquer the Southwest and restore that.
00:33:54.000 It's stated the goal of La Raza.
00:33:57.000 Yes.
00:33:57.000 La Raza and Mecha.
00:33:59.000 So you've got people who say, we want to eliminate the boundaries of the Westphalian state system.
00:34:06.000 So they don't want national borders.
00:34:08.000 You've got people say they want to rebuild the Democrat Party with these individuals.
00:34:12.000 And if you heard some of the Democrats in our hearing the other night, they'll tell you we want them to come here because they pick our food and they do our laundry.
00:34:21.000 I mean, it's that condescending and that crazy, Charlie.
00:34:25.000 They don't love this country, and that's why they want to change it.
00:34:28.000 And they want to change it through not people from just one or two countries, but people from 160 plus countries around the world.
00:34:36.000 You know who's number three on the list right now for this fiscal year coming through the Tucson sector in which you live, Charlie, and I live.
00:34:43.000 South Asian Indians.
00:34:45.000 Yeah, there you go.
00:34:46.000 Almost 11,000 of them in just four and a half months.
00:34:50.000 It is an absolute disgrace.
