00:01:39.000 That's why we are here, brought to you by the loan experts.

00:01:43.000 I trust Andrew And Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at Andrewandtodd.com.

00:01:51.000 It is rare to see politicians act with courage and clarity.

00:01:55.000 Ron De Santis wakes up every single day and he says, what are problems that I can solve?

00:02:00.000 So few politicians do that?

00:02:02.000 He looks, he wakes up, he says, what's a problem, how can I solve it?

00:02:05.000 What's the problem, how can I solve it?

00:02:07.000 From phenomenal congressional district maps to fighting wokeism and crt in the schools, to defending children from being preyed on by grooming teachers, to a 0% income tax, both for corporate and personal, which of course DeSantis didn't do but he's held the line on making sure that continues.

00:02:27.000 DeSantis wakes up every single day, Ron DeSantis, and is unafraid to pick the tough fights, and he's just confrontational enough with the media, where he holds the line, defends his voters, pushes back against their lies, but does so in a very deliberate and calm way.

00:02:47.000 Now the courage that Ron DeSantis is displaying with this new fight is remarkable.

00:02:54.000 The fight he's picking would be the equivalent of someone in Wisconsin trying to pick a fight with the Green BAY Packers, or someone in Texas trying to pick a fight with the oil industry, someone in New York trying to pick a fight with the bankers or someone in San Francisco trying to pick a fight with the tech companies Disney.

00:03:11.000 Disney is the largest employer in Florida.

00:03:15.000 Disney has been responsible for economic growth in a part of the world that was not exactly a go-to destination prior to Disney World being created.

00:03:25.000 Of course, Orlando.

00:03:26.000 I know a lot of great people in Orlando.

00:03:28.000 Orlando being landlocked and having its own, let's say, unique climate wouldn't exactly be, I think, nearly as sprawling or as successful a city if it wasn't for Disney going there.

00:03:40.000 But Disney, of course, has decided now to become a grooming company.

00:03:44.000 To turn their back on family values, Disney has now decided to not just poke the eye of the conservative movement, but also just decent loving Americans in every corner.

00:03:57.000 Disney was once a safe haven for families.

00:04:00.000 Disney made billions, hundreds of billions of dollars over the last couple of decades, being a place where parents trusted them.

00:04:06.000 The reason why parents are so upset at Disney, the reason why Disney is now receiving backlash, is because Disney violated the trust principle.

00:04:14.000 If I trust you with my kids, if I trust you with the content they're going to see, and you violate that trust, I'm going to be harsh in the retaliation you're going to receive.

00:04:26.000 I will be unapologetic about it.

00:04:28.000 So Ron DeSantis has had enough.

00:04:30.000 Disney is running their mouth and talking about how they're going to fight back against the idea that five-year-olds can't be taught about lesbian sex in kindergarten.

00:04:39.000 It really bothers Democrats and Disney people that that's happening.

00:04:43.000 The very weak corporate, spineless CEO, the guy by the name of Bob Chapik, who is now running Disney, continues to run his mouth.

00:04:56.000 So Ron DeSantis has decided to go to war.

00:04:58.000 And when Ron DeSantis picks a fight, he has a tendency to win.

00:05:02.000 Ron DeSantis won on lockdowns.

00:05:03.000 He won on not mandating vaccines.

00:05:07.000 He won on alternative treatments, on monoclonal antibodies.

00:05:10.000 Ron DeSantis has won at every corner.

00:05:12.000 It really makes you wonder: is Ron DeSantis a wonderful governor or are all the other Republican governors awful?

00:05:19.000 I think both might be simultaneously true.

00:05:21.000 There's some other good ones, Governor Stitten, Oklahoma, Governor Gianforte in Montana.

00:05:27.000 But generally, Ron DeSantis has just been leagues above the rest, especially considering how 50-50 Florida is.

00:05:34.000 It's not a conservative state, it's not a liberal state.

00:05:36.000 It's a battleground state by definition.

00:05:38.000 But it's becoming more conservative because Ron DeSantis is doing conservative policies and ideas, articulating them, defending them, and demonstrating the positive impact they have for the people of Florida.

00:05:51.000 So Ron DeSantis, as if he doesn't have enough on his plate, is now announced that the state legislature will consider a proposal to eliminate Disney's special tax and governing jurisdiction in DeSantis' fight against the mega corporation's woke politics.

00:06:05.000 Quote, I'm announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week.

00:06:10.000 And so, yes, they will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968.

00:06:17.000 And that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

00:06:21.000 Now, the Reedy Creek Improvement District is one of Disney's special carve-outs.

00:06:25.000 It's a special governing and special taxing district for the Walt Disney World Resort.

00:06:30.000 In 1967, the Florida legislature approved it to boost economic development and tourism within the district's boundaries.

00:06:36.000 This includes 25,000 acres.

00:06:40.000 Eliminating the special district would serve as a significant economic blow to the Disney Corporation.

00:06:45.000 So they should absolutely do it.

00:06:47.000 If you are going to be financing, supporting the grooming of children, then you as a corporation should not receive special handouts from the state of Florida.

00:06:56.000 If you're going to be against family values and you're going to make Florida a place where you want to push forward this LGBTQ garbage, we're going to raise your taxes.

00:07:06.000 Or at the very least, we're not going to give you special carve outs.

00:07:09.000 You never should have got them in the first place.

00:07:11.000 This is the latest flight, Breitbart.com writes, after Disney announced its opposition to the parental rights and education bill that he signed into law.

00:07:19.000 This is the proclamation.

00:07:22.000 On this first day of the redistricting special session, the governor added this: Should lawmakers and independent special districts established in 1968, he announced it at the villages that has similar self-governing districts, though post-1968.

00:07:37.000 Republicans have considered other measures to fight back against Disney's alphabet mafia agenda, including ending Disney's $600 million tax cheat loophole.

00:07:47.000 Jim Banks from Indiana, who is the Republican Study Committee chairman, has floated to do Revolver.news' idea, which is to end congressional loopholes for the Mickey Mouse copyright.

00:08:00.000 I don't think Disney really thought this one through.

00:08:03.000 I don't think Disney really kind of thought through the different actions and the course of action and the consequences for their actions.

00:08:11.000 So, what exactly is the root of all of this?

00:08:15.000 The root of all of this is an activist that I'm about to play here, Cut 58, where this person says that parents need to stay the F out of classrooms.

00:08:25.000 Ron DeSantis disagrees.

00:08:27.000 Disney does not want parents involved.

00:08:29.000 Disney is okay with 11-year-olds getting puberty blockers.

00:08:32.000 Disney is okay with six-year-olds being taught that gender can be changed anytime.

00:08:36.000 Disney is obsessed with your children.

00:08:39.000 And Disney needs to pay a price, just like Netflix has.

00:08:43.000 It's time to punish them.

00:08:45.000 Play Cut 58.

00:08:46.000 You want to know why personally I don't like this?

00:08:49.000 Because when it's the parents' problem, that's how you get homophobic kids.

00:08:54.000 If my parents had their way, I wouldn't know shit about the gay community or my own legitimate sexual identity.

00:09:02.000 So when you say it's the parents' problem, understand that the parents are not going to make the best decision.

00:09:07.000 They're not going to educate their kids.

00:09:09.000 If it weren't for public school, I wouldn't know shit about the gay community.

00:09:12.000 Unless it's a private school, parents need to stay the f out of classroom.

00:09:16.000 Yeah, stay out of classrooms.

00:09:18.000 Remember, it is the mark of a tyrant.

00:09:20.000 This is Libs of TikTok, by the way.

00:09:22.000 This is exactly why they have come after her so hard.

00:09:28.000 But it is the mark of a tyrant, a totalitarian regime, to break the bond that a parent has with a child.

00:09:35.000 Ron DeSantis knows that in order for a civilization, a state, or a country to exist, honor your mother and father is the only one of the Ten Commandments that comes with a promise and involves your nation.

00:09:45.000 It's the only one of the Ten Commandments.

00:09:47.000 So Ron DeSantis is now doing what Republicans refuse to do, saying, why do you get corporate handouts?

00:09:52.000 Do you know how many Republicans talk a good game on this stuff and they defend crony capitalism?

00:09:57.000 Yeah, Ron DeSantis steps right up to the plate.

00:10:00.000 This is like going after ethanol in Iowa.

00:10:04.000 It's like going after insider trading on Wall Street.

00:10:08.000 It's like going after the tobacco industry in Kentucky.

00:10:11.000 I could go on.

00:10:11.000 It's like going after the auto manufacturers in Detroit.

00:10:13.000 It's like going after Amazon in Seattle.

00:10:16.000 Okay.

00:10:17.000 It's going after the film industry in LA.

00:10:18.000 There's certain local controls that usually politicians don't touch and Ron DeSantis doesn't care.

00:10:25.000 That's exactly right, Connor just wrote.

00:10:26.000 It's like going after casinos in Vegas.

00:10:29.000 Lead, follower, get out of the way.

00:10:31.000 DeSantis is showing, and he's setting the bar for every Republican governor.

00:10:34.000 If they are not as equally courageous and decisive as DeSantis, you as voters should ask why, because you deserve a lot better.

00:10:44.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:45.000 It's time to get serious about long-term emergency food storage.

00:10:48.000 If you don't already have a good stockpile, now is the time to get one.

00:11:39.000 So go to preparewithkirk.com, preparewithkirk.com on a 23 to 16 vote, just pass legislation ending Disney's tax privilege, self-governing power, and special exemption status.

00:11:55.000 This looks like it will make way to Ron DeSantis.

00:11:58.000 This will be a huge financial blow to Disney, and I love it.

00:12:01.000 There needs to be consequences.

00:12:04.000 There needs to be punishment for people that target families, especially mega corporations.

00:12:11.000 Disney could have just handled this, like, okay, we're sorry, we don't like the bill, but they decided to go all in.

00:12:16.000 All right, you want to go all in?

00:12:18.000 You're going to lose Disney.

00:12:20.000 You're not as powerful as you think you are.

00:12:21.000 Your content is kind of awful now.

00:12:23.000 You have special government handouts and protections for tax districts near Orlando, social carveouts and handouts in Washington, D.C. for copyright protections.

00:12:32.000 And guess what?

00:12:33.000 Most Americans agree.

00:12:34.000 Most Americans are now getting away from your type of content.

00:12:38.000 We don't want the incredibly outrageous.

00:12:44.000 And I could use the word radical, but there's got to be a better word than that.

00:12:48.000 Agenda that we see being implemented.

00:12:51.000 Ron DeSantis comments in Cut 34 on how woke math textbooks saying that math is about getting the right answer.

00:12:57.000 We want to teach kids how to think to get the right answer.

00:13:00.000 This is an argument about objective truth and not subjective learning.

00:13:04.000 Ron DeSantis knows the value of education and knows that it means to lead forth towards truth.

00:13:10.000 That's literally what the word education means in Latin.

00:13:12.000 Play Cut 34.

00:13:14.000 You do have things like social and emotional learning and some of the other things that are more political in there.

00:13:19.000 In our view, on something like math, first, it doesn't meet the standards.

00:13:23.000 But second, you know, math is about getting the right answer.

00:13:26.000 And we want kids to learn to think so they get the right answer.

00:13:29.000 We're going to continue to focus the education on the actual strong academic performance of the students.

00:13:36.000 We don't want things like math to have, you know, some of these other concepts introduced.

00:13:41.000 Shouldn't be controversial.

00:13:44.000 Now, at the basis of this, is someone who used to be an MSNBC host.

00:13:47.000 Now, this clip is now getting recirculated.

00:13:49.000 She said this years ago.

00:13:50.000 I think she said this in like 2013 or 14.

00:13:52.000 She's a legitimate communist.

00:13:54.000 She's no longer with MSNBC, but she used to be.

00:13:57.000 But this is a viewpoint that is not popular.

00:14:02.000 It's not a majority viewpoint, but a majority of people in charge do have this viewpoint.

00:14:08.000 So it's not how many people, it's who has it.

00:14:12.000 MSNBC's Melissa Harris Perry, who's a Bolshevik, listen to her talk about education.

00:14:18.000 Listen to her talk about whose children are they?

00:14:21.000 Play Cut 62.

00:14:22.000 We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children.

00:14:29.000 Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility.

00:14:32.000 We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.

00:14:36.000 So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.

00:14:44.000 Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.

00:14:50.000 Yeah, we got to break this idea that it's just the parents' kids.

00:14:54.000 Now, mind you, this was an infomercial.

00:14:56.000 MSNBC used to, I used to watch a lot of MSNBC in 2012 and 13.

00:15:00.000 And they used to kind of run these kind of like, um, like this is sports center type ads, where you remember the, do they still run those this is sports center stuff?

00:15:08.000 I don't watch ESPN anymore.

00:15:09.000 It's Disney, it's awful, it's garbage.

00:15:11.000 Um, Sports Center used to be this great thing, and now it's just unwatchable.

00:15:14.000 But Sports Center used to run these ads where some of the greatest advertisements in history.

00:15:18.000 And I've said for a while, Turning Point should do it, and we're working on a concept of it, which is the cold, dark humor of the This Is Sports Center ads.

00:15:28.000 For example, they'd have one of the organ duck sitting at a kind of an office cubicle and looking outside the window to the pond of other ducks, and he just sighs, like wishing he could be out there.

00:15:42.000 Just as this is Sports Center.

00:15:44.000 So, MSNBC, this is not just like an MSNBC host that went out and just did this on her own.

00:15:49.000 This was like an infomercial they used to run, these 15 to 30-second shorts of MSNBC.

00:15:54.000 It was like progress lives here or whatever it was.

00:15:57.000 And she said very clearly, she said, Listen, we need to break this idea that parents and children are bonded together.

00:16:05.000 We need to have a collective notion.

00:16:07.000 That's where this comes from.

00:16:08.000 So, people like Melissa Harris Perry, who again, she's not really in front and center anymore, but they planted the seeds back in 13, 14, and 15, and Disney was slowly but surely infiltrated.

00:16:19.000 Now, those of us that tried to warn against it were labeled as McCarthyites because we were worried that these organizations were being infiltrated by avowed Marxists.

00:16:28.000 We weren't taking it seriously.

00:16:29.000 People didn't want to really realize it.

00:16:31.000 It's now being taken very seriously.

00:16:35.000 Disney has been completely taken over, and Disney is now going to have to pay a financial price for this.

00:16:40.000 The expression is: you go woke, you go broke.

00:16:42.000 We're not going to subsidize you, though.

00:16:44.000 Do you think there's a market for you to go sell five-year-olds the idea that men can get pregnant?

00:16:48.000 More power to you, Disney.

00:16:52.000 Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?

00:16:56.000 Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?

00:17:02.000 Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.

00:17:07.000 One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.

00:17:12.000 Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.

00:17:23.000 So, PAX Financial is wonderful.

00:17:24.000 They share our values.

00:17:25.000 In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.

00:17:32.000 Stop using the woke money managers.

00:17:35.000 PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.

00:17:38.000 So, if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.

00:17:49.000 That's Charlie at number 74868.

00:17:52.000 That's Charlie to number 74868.

00:17:55.000 So, you just take out your phone, text the number 74868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX Biblical Responsible Investing, biblical responsible investing strategy.

00:18:08.000 Take out your phone, text Charlie to 74868.

00:18:12.000 They're about to manage some money for me.

00:18:14.000 I really think highly of PAX Financial.

00:18:17.000 Text Charlie to number 74868.

00:18:22.000 Okay, let's get to someone who is a fighter for what is good and beautiful in California because there's still a lot of great people in California, and the fight is necessary.

00:18:32.000 It's Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who's also a candidate for California's third congressional district.

00:18:37.000 Kevin, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:18:39.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:18:40.000 It's great to be with you.

00:18:41.000 So, Kevin, let's get into the latest news.

00:18:44.000 I was kind of tracking this through some of our amazing pastors yesterday: Pastor Juergen, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Rob McCoy, James Cadiz.

00:18:53.000 We're kind of all in a text together of people that were tracking the legislative movement behind AB 2223, otherwise known as the infanticide bill.

00:19:02.000 Walk us through what this bill actually contains.

00:19:05.000 No hyperbole or exaggeration, because some people are blowing it out of proportion, not on our side, the other side.

00:19:11.000 What does it actually say and where does it stand in the legislative process?

00:19:16.000 Well, where it stands is it passed its second committee yesterday, which is horrifying.

00:19:16.000 Sure.

00:19:20.000 It's one of the worst bills that's ever been introduced here, which is really saying a lot considering the sort of bills that get introduced and passed in California.

00:19:27.000 And the idea is: you know, Gavin Newsom has proclaimed California an abortion sanctuary state.

00:19:33.000 He wants this to be the state where people from other states can come to to have abortions.

00:19:37.000 And this bill, 2223, purportedly creates a kind of liability shield for acts that would violate the laws of other states and places limits on what sorts of things can be investigated.

00:19:50.000 And so all of that is bad enough in its own right.

00:19:53.000 But there is this term in the bill, paranatal, which by, you know, there was a practicing OBGYN at the hearing yesterday who said that that can encompass up to about a month after birth.

00:20:04.000 And then sort of creates sort of a liability shield for an infant death that is post-birth.

00:20:10.000 And what's more, it actually would give individuals the ability to sue prosecutors who wanted to come in and bring charges in these cases.

00:20:18.000 So it's truly, you know, a horrifying idea.

00:20:21.000 And all of this is in the text of the bill.

00:20:23.000 Yeah.

00:20:24.000 Yeah.

00:20:24.000 So I just, I just want to make sure we're very clear here, right?

00:20:26.000 So in the bill, paranatal.

00:20:29.000 So if this bill were to pass in its current form with no clarification, no markup, none of that, would it be unfair to say that somebody in Napa, California, who has a three-week old who stabs that three-week old to death would no longer be able to be brought under charges of murder?

00:20:51.000 Is that an over-exaggeration or is that a potential reading of this bill?

00:20:56.000 Well, that probably would not be covered by the strict language of the bill.

00:21:00.000 And as much as they have this caveat, which says that it passed, that it's a paranatal death that is from a pregnancy-related cause.

00:21:09.000 And so they would argue that in that circumstance, that would not fall within the language.

00:21:13.000 But the problem is that it places such severe limits on the ability to investigate that, and indeed, as I mentioned, it even provides a cause of action against prosecutors for bringing charges that it would be very difficult to even sort of be able to discern whether that truly was pregnancy related or not.

00:21:33.000 So then what circumstances?

00:21:33.000 Right.

00:21:34.000 I guess it's all up to the interpretation, right?

00:21:38.000 So if it's three days after pregnancy or a week after pregnancy, I suppose the question is, why is this even, why is there not any sort of, even from the radical left-wing abortionists, how are they not even able to see that this could potentially be, you know, incredibly wildly controversial?

00:21:58.000 Well, I think that they can see that, and that's precisely the point, is that California has already sort of gone so far in kind of the pro-abortion direction.

00:22:07.000 It's already done so much that is so radical that to be able to sort of continue to beat the drum on this issue, you have to, you know, reach for these just new levels of perversity, which I think is why you're seeing a bill like this.

00:22:20.000 Now, you know, the bill has still a lot of steps to go.

00:22:23.000 You had thousands of people who came to the Capitol to protest it yesterday.

00:22:27.000 It's now as, you know, it's getting national attention.

00:22:29.000 So I think we certainly have a chance to defeat it or at the very least get it amended to take out this language that could potentially encompass the sort of infanticide type scenarios.

00:22:42.000 But the fact that this has even been introduced, the fact that it's now passed two committees, it sort of tells you everything you need to know about our state government here in California.

00:22:51.000 Yeah, it's just it's so evil.

00:22:53.000 And that's the only word for it.

00:22:54.000 You tweeted out the following, quote, a suspect in Sacramento's mass killing battered another inmate and engaged in criminal activity during his last prison stay.

00:23:03.000 He was released six years early for good conduct.

00:23:06.000 This is a story the media is not covering.

00:23:09.000 Talk about how bail reform and not just bail reform, but early release from prison reform can actually make California a more dangerous place to live.

00:23:19.000 California is a very dangerous place to live, increasingly so every day, it seems like.

00:23:24.000 I mean, in LA, they just told people to stop wearing jewelry in public because it makes them targets.

00:23:30.000 And yeah, here in Sacramento, we've just had these two sort of horrific mass killings in as many months.

00:23:36.000 The one that I mentioned talking about there in the tweet, this is one that left six people dead, 12 wounded, you know, this mass killing right a few blocks from the state capitol here.

00:23:47.000 And of course, Gavin Newsom and all the other politicians, Joe Biden even weighed in saying this is all a matter of guns, used it immediately to start pushing a gun control agenda.

00:23:56.000 But what we found out is that the sort of more proximate cause here is that one of the central shooters in this incident had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for some very serious crimes, domestic abuse.

00:24:10.000 And he was even while he was incarcerated, was committing more crimes, was engaging in criminal behavior there, was assaulting another inmate.

00:24:17.000 And the district attorney vehemently objected to his release.

00:24:20.000 Yet he was released after only four years of his 10-year sentence.

00:24:24.000 And then just a few months later, he was involved in this mass killing in the capital city.

00:24:28.000 So it's just a perfect example of how, you know, liberals like Gavin Newsom and Joe Biden engage in this demagoguery about gun control.

00:24:38.000 And it's sort of this sort of smokescreen for the dangers created by their own failed progressive policies.

00:24:44.000 Yeah, I mean, it's just, you wonder when people are going to realize we've hit rock bottom in California with crime, homelessness, open border, just the educational standards going down, wealth inequality increasing, people leaving California in a record rate.

00:25:02.000 You really do have to wonder about that.

00:25:04.000 So, Kevin, in closing here, tell us about your race.

00:25:07.000 You are a candidate in the third congressional district.

00:25:10.000 Talk about how it works in California.

00:25:12.000 You guys have like this best of too, right?

00:25:15.000 It's a very bizarre way to do it.

00:25:18.000 And tell us about your race and why you're running.

00:25:22.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:25:23.000 So I'm running for the third congressional district.

00:25:25.000 And, you know, it's actually, you were just there, Charlie, at Destiny Church, and we really enjoyed having you.

00:25:30.000 We're just thrilled to have you there.

00:25:32.000 And I've been serving in the legislature in California for the last five years.

00:25:37.000 I've been fighting against the supermajority.

00:25:38.000 I've been fighting against Gavin Newsom and the radicalism that's ruining California, the greatest state in the country, in my opinion.

00:25:46.000 And what I see with the Biden administration is it's like deja vu.

00:25:49.000 In fact, this is explicit.

00:25:51.000 Like Gavin Newsom has said that California is a model for the nation.

00:25:54.000 It's the roadmap to success for Joe Biden.

00:25:57.000 And Biden seems to have believed that.

00:25:59.000 Like all of the failed policies here are metastasizing and are going national.

00:26:04.000 And so I'm running for Congress to try to stop that from happening, to share my experience fighting the battles here in California to make sure that California does not get that our nation does not continue down the same failed path as California.

00:26:17.000 Well, the website is electkevinkiley.com.

00:26:20.000 And best of luck in your race, Kevin.

00:26:22.000 And please do everything you possibly can to fight back against the infanticide bill.

00:26:26.000 I mean, it is just so evil.

00:26:28.000 So please continue to fight against it.

00:27:40.000 Okay, let's get to this sound here.

00:27:43.000 It is about Joe Biden and his pivot on American energy.

00:27:49.000 Now, there's a deeper game at play here because Joe Biden is now going to betray his base.

00:27:58.000 Let's play cut 11.

00:27:59.000 Fox reporter on the White House making a 180 on drilling on federal land.

00:28:02.000 Play cut 11.

00:28:04.000 We are getting a stunning about face from the Biden administration just announcing a short time ago that it's going to resume oil leases for the energy industry on federal land.

00:28:16.000 The White House announcing the lease sales for oil and gas drilling on such land just moments ago said it would sharply reduce the acreage available for these leases, though, and charge significantly higher royalties on oil and gas produced.

00:28:30.000 Nevertheless, this represents a major, major 180 on the part of the White House.

00:28:35.000 That is an example of ideology coming to a breaking point from reality.

00:28:43.000 Joe Biden did not want to have to do that, but it also goes to show that political popularity does eventually worry these people.

00:28:51.000 Joe Biden doesn't want to do that.

00:28:52.000 Of course not.

00:28:53.000 No one in his administration wants to do it.

00:28:54.000 Now, but it will significantly aggravate his base, the keep it in the ground, no more fossil fuel base.

00:29:01.000 But it shows that there still is a political check and balance that could be used against the regime.

00:29:09.000 Remember, he campaigned on ending fossil fuels, and now he's reversing and doing the very same thing that Trump did when it came to energy, even though he said those things were terrible.

00:29:18.000 And a couple of weeks ago, he said there's nothing I could do to lower gas prices.

00:29:21.000 And now he's doing a complete 180.

00:29:23.000 That just gives a little bit of a window of how significant the collapse is for the Biden regime when it comes to this topic.

00:29:36.000 Cut 49, John Kerry says Europe is an energy success.

00:29:41.000 And so if you know anything about European energy, there's a couple things.

00:29:45.000 Number one, they are highly dependent and reliant on fossil fuels from Putin.

00:29:52.000 Do you know Putin and Russia are now exporting more oil than before the war?

00:29:57.000 Really glad those sanctions worked against Russia.

00:29:59.000 The rupee is more valuable and there's more oil being exported than before the war.

00:30:05.000 Also, Europe previously, until the France environmentalists got their way, they're now reversing it.

00:30:10.000 France used to have at least 50% of their energy from nuclear power.

00:30:14.000 I'm a big fan of nuclear power.

00:30:16.000 I can't believe that people oppose it.

00:30:18.000 You have to be living in an alternate reality, quite honestly, to oppose it.

00:30:26.000 And if you subtract Three Mile Island from all of the data from nuclear power, it is incredibly clean.

00:30:34.000 It's self-sufficient.

00:30:35.000 Should be exploring not just hydroelectric power, but thermal power, which basically powers the entire Icelandic government and the entire country of Iceland.

00:30:49.000 LNG prices are spiking right now because we're shipping a lot of it to Europe, which, if we can ship liquid natural gas to Europe, why didn't we make that deal happen in the first place instead of having Nord Stream 2?

00:31:00.000 But John Kerry thinks Europe is a huge success, even though Europe is dependent on energy importation from other parts around the world.

00:31:07.000 Play Cut 49.

00:31:09.000 No government in the world has enough money to be able to effect the transition we need to effect, to move us much more rapidly into sustainable energy postures within our nations.

00:31:23.000 Europe is probably the lead on the planet in terms of the efforts it's making.

00:31:29.000 There's a reason why they put John Kerry in charge of that position.

00:31:32.000 It might seem like an ambassador to Namibia or something.

00:31:35.000 No.

00:31:36.000 Being the climate czar is very important to the Great Reset Goals.

00:31:39.000 That's why they put the failed presidential candidate, former U.S. Secretary of State and former statesman of the Senate, I put in air quotes, at that position.

00:31:47.000 There's a reason because in order to get the Great Reset done, they need someone who's able to pull off the transformation of American energy and obliterate it.
