00:00:56.000The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:37.000We are joined here at the top of the hour, unusually so, by Jack Pasobic, who's going to be helping us make sense of the world after a very eventful weekend.
00:01:50.000We've got a lot to get to here, and I think Blake's title for today's show, What is MAGA, is a, I think it's a really apt way to sort of frame it.
00:01:59.000I was traveling, didn't have a lot of time to keep up with it.
00:02:02.000I turned on the phone and the computer on basically last night because somebody sent me some Oscar clips, and then I started going through everything, and I was like, holy, holy cow.
00:02:16.000The e-drama is through the roof, and we got a very contentious war going on in Iran.
00:02:22.000And I think what the best thing that we can do on this show is how to walk through this very tumultuous moment that we're living in, where I think a lot of us just want to focus on domestic issues.
00:02:34.000We want to focus on nation building at home.
00:02:36.000Unfortunately, that's not exactly the most obvious thing for any of us to do because of so much noise that's going around.
00:02:43.000Blake, I'm going to throw to you first and foremost.
00:02:51.000What is MAGA right now in this moment with Iran, with, like I said, the e-drama and so much else?
00:02:56.000Well, I mean, part of the reason, the reason we titled it that way is we did, of course, we've seen, we saw friction over the weekend.
00:03:06.000We won't get into the full details of it because it's a little silly, but Megan Kelly was in a fight with Mark Levin that's obviously rooted in the Iran stuff and obviously personality friction as well.
00:03:18.000And what happened last night was the president on Truth Social decided to weigh in on it personally and he took the side.
00:03:24.000He didn't name Megan, but he supported Mark Levin.
00:03:28.000And one of the lines he said at the end of his post was basically that people who are bashing Levin, going after him, those people are not MAGA.
00:03:54.000A lot of people have tried to articulate a MAGA agenda in terms of issues, whether that's on immigration, whether that's on interventionism, whether that's on trade and a lot of other stuff.
00:04:05.000And so that's kind of why it's an open question, because I think there is, is there a MAGA that stands separately from the president himself?
00:04:14.000And the president himself, I think, unsurprisingly, given Trump's personality, he does mostly see it in terms of his personal branding.
00:05:03.000Yeah, so there's, you know, these definitional questions come up a lot.
00:05:09.000And at the same time, I would also point out that, you know, MAGA, the coalition, the people who have voted for Trump, that has changed over time as well.
00:05:20.000So the 2024 coalition, the coalition that Charlie worked so hard to put together, that Turning Point Action worked on, that's different than the 2016 coalition and the groups.
00:05:33.000Obviously, it was much more successful in 24.
00:05:36.0002016, you know, you can't take anything away from the historic nature of that.
00:05:40.000It was obviously something that was unprecedented.
00:05:43.000But 2024, just in terms of sheer raw numbers, point on the board victory was bigger.
00:05:49.000And the difference, I guess I would say, is that in 2024, it was this coalition that came together where instead of just, you know, 2016 was sort of like the anti-neocons, the Bernie Bros, and you're sort of like traditional Republicans.
00:06:06.000But in 2024, and of course, the anti-neocons are obviously have a lot of consternation right now.
00:06:12.000And so the 2024 coalition was even broader and bigger than that, because now you got Maha, now you've got the libertarians.
00:06:22.000Now you, of course, you have the anti-neocons.
00:06:24.000And of course, there's a lot of overlap with the libertarian crowd there as well.
00:06:29.000You've got people who were motivated by COVID, you've got lockdowns.
00:06:33.000You've got people who were motivated by DEI, by wokeness.
00:06:38.000I mean, you just got so many people coming in in 2024 that inevitably there was going to be some friction points between the massive, you know, the massive parts of the massive coalition.
00:06:53.000And of course, now you've also in 24 got the Zoomers on board, which is like a whole different, you know, quotient in and of itself.
00:06:59.000And that was the part that Charlie and TPUSA had worked so hard on all through those years.
00:07:06.000Like if you were in high school when Trump first ran, you know, 2024 may have been the first time you voted or, you know, somewhere, you know, voted for president at least.
00:07:16.000And so, you know, just doing the math.
00:07:17.000So this was like the Charlie Kirk coalition in 2024.
00:07:22.000And so the way you work on things like this is very simple.
00:07:25.000Look, Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
00:07:27.000Donald Trump is the founder of the MAGA movement.
00:07:31.000But just like any coalition, there are going to be different elements within that movement.
00:07:37.000And so, you know, you can get caught up in these definitional games, but I do think that ultimately we're better served by people just sort of saying like, this is what I stand for.
00:07:47.000This is what I think the best policy is.
00:07:48.000And just arguing it out in those terms rather than trying to say, you know, one person is this and one person isn't allowed to be that.
00:07:59.000And we all know that victory is through addition.
00:08:01.000Yeah, I mean, I think what you're getting at, this coalitional truth that we need to build a coalition, there is no more contentious issue on the right.
00:08:11.000There's just simply not than foreign policy because the divide between the neocons and the interventionists is not just a divide, it's a chasm.
00:08:19.000And so, in one sense, as soon as the Iran conflict started, there should be no surprise that this has become so contentious.
00:08:28.000He said he'd be willing to move that timeline up or back.
00:08:31.000So we kind of are still in that time of uncertainty.
00:08:35.000We don't know how this is going to play out.
00:08:37.000There's a very positive way this could play out.
00:08:40.000There's a more negative way this could play out, which is why Charlie warned against regime change in Iran, right?
00:08:45.000We don't know all of the ancillary side effects.
00:08:48.000We don't know how this could devolve into some sort of civil war, sectarian strife within Iran.
00:08:54.000The Strait of Hormuz is proving particularly tricky and difficult.
00:08:57.000We're going to get into what the president is trying to do in the Strait of Hormuz, build a coalition of different countries to come in and clear up the Strait of Hormuz.
00:09:07.000We're allowing Indian and Chinese, it sounds like vessels, tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz.
00:09:16.000You know, we spend a lot of time on this show talking about culture, about why strong families matter, why values matter, why faith matters.
00:10:05.000If faith is central to your life, or even if it's something that shaped how you were raised and how you see the world, Upward connects you with people who take that seriously.
00:10:14.000If you're tired of the confusion and you're ready to date with intention, with marriage and family in mind, download Upward and start building on the right foundation because strong relationships don't just happen by accident.
00:10:53.000We look across the conservative landscape and it's a mess out there right now.
00:10:58.000And I think, you know, I'm thinking of the Kipling poem where it's like, you know, if you can keep your head when everybody else is losing theirs.
00:11:05.000But President Trump defines it as, you know, this is, he's the founder of this movement.
00:11:10.000He's been very consistent to his credit about Iran over the years.
00:11:14.000A lot of us harbor skepticisms about regime change in the Middle East.
00:11:18.000So what do you make of this moment as, you know, everything seems to be a mess out there?
00:11:24.000Yeah, everything does seem to be a mess out there.
00:11:26.000And I disagree with Trump that MAGA is Trump.
00:11:30.000I think Trump captured an ethos that was already out there.
00:11:33.000I think he tapped into something that so many Americans were feeling.
00:11:38.000And I think MAGA has more to do with a set of values and perspectives than it does a single man.
00:11:44.000Otherwise, it would not be a movement that would continue.
00:11:46.000And that's a movement that continued throughout Biden's four years.
00:11:50.000And I think it's a movement that will continue after Trump is gone.
00:11:53.000I think MAGA has to do with putting America first, American priorities in terms of the domestic situation, in terms of prosperity and equal access to opportunity in a lot of cases, you know, for Americans, which means that your schools are decent and you can go to them and attend them, which means that you're getting a fair shake in the housing market and it's not all being bought up by corporations, you know, which means that when you go to apply for a job or go to apply to college,
00:12:20.000your merit is what's taken into consideration, not some random identity factors.
00:12:25.000And I think that MAGA has to be a set of values more than it can be possibly just one man.
00:12:30.000Otherwise, you can't stand for anything, right?
00:12:33.000You can't stand on shifting sands of perspectives and ideas.
00:12:37.000You have to stand for something, or else, you know, as they say, you'll fall for anything.
00:12:42.000Jack, I want to get you back in on this because I think, by the way, Libby, you probably articulated Blake's POV pretty well, I would think, but I'll let Blake answer that in just a sec.
00:13:13.000So, you know, this is obviously like I do a lot of geopol analysis and I actually was a Navy intelligence officer, you know, and, you know, so this is something that's always, you know, of a great interest when we have these things come up.
00:13:27.000I'm like, aha, finally, some everyone understands why I post maps about choke points and maritime trade routes so much.
00:13:35.000It seems like totally arcane until everyone finds out how much it really, really matters in the world.
00:13:41.000And, you know, that being said, the questions of what will be successful politically are certainly different from how the world economy operates and how the world economics operate back and forth.
00:13:56.000And so, you know, I've always said that, look, I thought that when I was in the United States Navy and when I was in the intelligence community serving as I did, that I started to get the feeling that perhaps our focus as a country was too abroad.
00:14:10.000Our focus was not enough on our own issues, on things that actually mattered to us, on things that actually affected us in our country, like the southern border, like the cartels, like the issues of problems and crime in our city, the issues of mass migration.
00:14:25.000All of those issues are the issues that built the MAGA movement.
00:14:30.000That's what brought us all on board and brought us all together in 2015 and 2016, with, of course, the leader and singular man of that movement being Donald J. Trump.
00:14:40.000And when he came down the golden escalator, that's exactly what he talked about.
00:14:44.000And so certainly it's been this idea that we are going to shift the focus.
00:14:48.000And you may all, you may kind of say that just analytically, I guess you could say that if there is a split anymore, it's not within MAGA.
00:14:56.000The split is more MAGA and then America first, right?
00:16:15.000And we still want a movement that is not neocon GOP, that is not George Bush GOP, that is not the GOP of old.
00:16:23.000But it is also very much the case that through kind of repeated trials, repeated events, MAGA has ended up being, for lack of a better term, like Trump has oscillated in different directions.
00:16:38.000He's caught us off guard and he's always stuck around.
00:16:41.000And the movement has really become very much, how to put this.
00:16:49.000I will say President Trump has a point if he says like, I am MAGA.
00:16:53.000And to some extent, the movement is basically what I say it is because he's repeatedly defined it that way.
00:16:58.000And he has kind of bashed away and like battered off every single challenger who would suggest it was anything else.
00:17:05.000And so I think Jack has a point that maybe you need to articulate another phrase, like America first or whatever you want to take this package of views so that it's not 100% identical to one person.
00:17:18.000And this is the thing about the right.
00:17:21.000We are more inclined to basically get in line behind our guy if he says this is the right thing to do, if he says this is what we need to be doing.
00:17:31.000And so yeah, I think we, you know, it might be a good idea to have another label for the issues that we care about.
00:17:56.000But, you know, we were warning against the perils of regime change in the Middle East as well before the lead up.
00:18:02.000But Charlie, sort of in this divide that you're mentioning here, Jack, it was his decision was always, listen, I worked my butt off to get President Trump elected.
00:18:14.000Even when I privately have differences of opinion, I'm going to back the guy because there's been no other fighter that we have in the modern era that has so embodied the values that I care most about.
00:18:25.000And so I'm going to get behind him and we're going to hope for the best.
00:19:31.000I do think that it's difficult to look at this entanglement as someone who is pretty much anti-war and come away with, you know, and come away with the perspective that this was the right thing to do at the right time.
00:19:45.000I'm not sure about that, you know, and I think time will tell and certainly history will let us know.
00:19:50.000I'm someone who marched against the Iraq war way back in 2003.
00:19:54.000I'm not prepared to go out and be marching against this war at this point.
00:19:58.000You know, I've definitely looked back at my life and said perhaps shutting down the 59th Street Bridge was not the best idea and maybe I wouldn't do that again.
00:20:06.000But yeah, I think that there's concerns.
00:20:09.000Arguing about whether or not we should back our troops is not something we should argue about.
00:20:14.000Everyone should be backing our troops.
00:20:16.000I also think that what Jack said, that this is giving the Democrats an area where they can really start to make some inroads with the American people is something that we should be watching out for because it's hard to look at the Democrats, you know, and not see all of the things that they are also going to be advocating for.
00:20:35.000Continuing to trans kids, continuing the American genocide of abortion.
00:20:39.000You know, there were like a million, close to a million abortions, I think, in 2024.
00:20:45.000So if conservatives really want to make sure that they have a hold of some of these issues and can save lives in this country, we have some states that are on board with euthanasia.
00:21:00.000I mean, I find the Democrats to be completely unacceptable, but we are giving them an avenue to be the America first in some ways, at least politically from a messaging standpoint.
00:22:14.000And remember, YReFi doesn't care what your credit score is.
00:22:17.000Just go to yrefi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
00:22:24.000This is Charlie talking about this very exact dynamic, CUT 26.
00:22:29.000Let me tell you what President Trump has in front of him.
00:22:32.000And this is the stuff of which statements, statesmans are made.
00:22:36.000A statesman is a man at the highest moment when you have the weight of the shoulders, like Churchill or Lincoln, of the world on your shoulders.
00:22:44.000You act with prudence and not on ideological fervor.
00:22:48.000President Donald Trump is a man made for this moment.
00:22:51.000This is why President Trump was elected president of the United States.
00:22:56.000It's the man in the arena that counts.
00:22:58.000But I encourage you as you view the next couple of days to not view things overly ideological.
00:23:05.000In fact, we should resist ideological fervor.
00:23:09.000Resist ideological fervor, the man in the arena.
00:23:12.000I am still on this point that, yes, I was not pro in regime change in Iran, but I will back President Trump's play here.
00:23:25.000And we have to, must pray for the success of our troops and our country, that this ultimately would work out in a way that would benefit America first as we try to define it.
00:23:35.000But listen, the longer this goes on, there's no doubt that this will become more and more difficult.
00:23:41.000All right, Libby, I'm going to get to your why we actually brought you on to the show today.
00:23:46.000And that is that the Oscars, the Oscars took a swipe at the All-American Halftime Show yesterday.
00:24:55.000Someone didn't tell Conan that Americans are moving away from the box office, you know, like never before.
00:25:01.000I took a look at some of the stats and American Beauty, which won the best picture back in 2000, made about the same as Sinners, which sort of came in second place this year.
00:25:12.000So it's not like things are going better for Hollywood than they were even 26 years ago.
00:25:20.000People don't like watching the Oscars.
00:25:22.000You know, so I think that I think that's something to recognize.
00:25:26.000Timothy Chalamet's recent comments about opera and ballet being dying art forms could just as easily be applied to the cinema.
00:25:35.000These Hollywood people should recognize that.
00:25:37.000And instead, they just lament that more people should go to the box office.
00:25:40.000If you look at some of the Oscar speeches or the SAG speeches, the Golden Globe speeches this year during the whole awards season, you'll see multiple, multiple directors, writers, actors telling people to bring your kids to the movies.
00:25:54.000These are the same kinds of comments that I heard when I was a kid.
00:28:03.000Well, first of all, you know, I got to respond on the halftime show because our ratings clearly, clearly, if you look at what the turning point events team, if you look at what the turning point action team and everyone coming together did to get the ratings for the number one American YouTube live stream in history, 40 million households day of viewing in the first 24 hours.
00:28:26.000And if you computed it the way, as you say, computed it the way Nielsen does household, you'd probably be looking at 50 to 60 million people because they always use the multiplier for the Super Bowl viewership.
00:28:38.000And we know that there were people at at least twos and threes and fours watching our halftime show.
00:28:45.000And Conan, you have not had anything that's rated in 20 plus years.
00:28:50.000You went down to Haiti and we're trying to like talk about how great Haiti is and walking around sipping Mai Tais while you've got cannibals named barbecue running around.
00:28:58.000So no, Conan, Turning Point USA blew, absolutely blew the Oscars out of the water.
00:29:05.000And I can't wait to see their overnights because I know it's lower.
00:29:09.000When you look at the cultural moment, you know, I'm just going to say it.
00:29:12.000I tweeted this morning about the Oscars that the Oscars has now become a contest of who can make the most anti-white movie.
00:29:19.000So you've got Sinners, which is basically from dusk till dawn with BLM killing white people.
00:29:25.000Then you've got the Leo Leonardo DiCaprio movie, and it's an Antifa raid on an ICE facility.
00:29:33.000I mean, it's like the most insane, one fight after another.
00:29:37.000And so it's just the most insane liberal, far-left, anti-white stuff gets the most awards.
00:29:44.000You know, I tweeted out that I didn't even know that it was going on last night because I didn't.
00:29:47.000I was busy hanging out with my kids and I was sent the clip and I just said, I didn't realize it was going on, but it's very clear that we live rent-free in their minds because they all noticed it.
00:29:58.000And I just want to say one last thing.
00:29:59.000While the world is losing its mind, we're going to keep ours.
00:30:02.000And that's why we do things like the halftime show.
00:30:05.000That's why the two largest cultural touch point moments of the last six months were Charlie's memorial and the halftime show.
00:30:12.000We are going to keep building, keep moving forward because the only way through is through.
00:30:21.000Imagine being a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, not knowing where to go or what to do, not even knowing exactly what is going on in your body.
00:30:29.000While the whole world tells her it's just a clump of cells, you and I, we both know the truth.
00:30:37.000And once she has an ultrasound that you provide and she sees the truth of the baby growing inside of her, you help her choose life.
00:30:45.000When you join us in providing ultrasounds with pre-born and she sees her baby and hears her baby's heartbeat, you will double the likelihood that she will choose life.
00:30:55.000And 100% of what you give goes to providing ultrasounds, 100% pre-born separately fundraises for administrative costs.
00:31:06.000$28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.
00:31:09.000And a $15,000 gift, I know there's some of you out there that can afford this.
00:31:13.000$15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.
00:31:21.000Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com today.
00:31:28.000Again, that's 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:31:37.000We have a special treat in store for you.
00:31:39.000I have been very loud about my criticisms of Senator Lindsey Graham, the neocon warmonger from South Carolina, who has just seemed to stay in office for a very long time.
00:35:19.000I live the life that Charlie talked about, the going to church, getting married, having kids.
00:35:25.000I took all three of those very seriously, probably the last one the most.
00:35:28.000But this is about generational change.
00:35:31.000You know, I go around to the TPUSA chapters and there's excitement, whether I'm at the College of Charleston or University of South Carolina, Clemson, Anderson, Coastal Carolina.
00:35:41.000Everyone here, you know, Southern Charleston, Charleston Southern rather, are excited for a candidate who's out there living the life.
00:35:57.000I want to make this a place for our kids so the next generation can have kids and come together and live as God intended in a land of milk and honey here in South Carolina.
00:36:39.000I suppose a thing a lot of people are just going to want to know, and I'm just straightforwardly, is what meaningful change are they going to get by swapping from Graham to you?
00:36:49.000And I think this is your chance to answer specifically, for example, how are you on questions like the filibuster, on the SAVE Act, on the SCAM Act?
00:36:58.000What needs to change within the Senate?
00:37:00.000And I guess another follow-up is, should there be a change of leadership in the Senate on the GOP side?
00:37:51.000That means declaring farmland critical infrastructure.
00:37:55.000Imagine setting up a 100-acre farm, letting this next generation put down roots and raise healthy, local, affordable food right here in South Carolina.
00:38:06.000This is what our ancestors did 100 years ago.
00:38:09.000I'm going to tackle the opioid crisis.
00:38:12.000Here in South Carolina, we have 2,000 people dying each year of opioids.
00:38:17.000And it's the sort of thing where the Sacklers, if you know the Sacklers, they declared war here on our populations.
00:38:29.000Okay, so the Sacklers were one of the groups that helped usher in the opioid crisis.
00:38:34.000There's a great documentary on this, A Crime of the Century.
00:38:37.000But this is a group that really went after white America as a genocide of sorts that were really targeting populations.
00:38:45.000So we're now stepping back from that, saying, how can we fix South Carolina, get money in the pockets of people who can help the victims, but also give them the new life, the promise.
00:44:02.000It's because I couldn't hold my nose and I was not on the radar for President Trump.
00:44:06.000So I jumped in this because I've been the Trump guy from the jump.
00:44:09.000When Lindsey Graham was saying, you know, that he'd be the worst president or a disaster for the Republican Party, went on to pass that dossier over to the FBI.
00:44:18.000I'm a guy who was working for President Trump and in the war room.
00:44:25.000Every day that the Trump administration rolls out Project 2025 proposals that include stuff like putting the servicemen back in who were drilled out because they refused to take the jab or stripping DEI from our military, all these sort of things.
00:44:42.000That's kind of an imprimatur of my work.
00:45:44.000And, you know, this is also the promise in the next generation.
00:45:47.000I should also say for older viewers, look, get your cotton picking hands off Social Security, Lindsey Graham, because he's going to cut those benefits, given a chance to pay for these wars.
00:45:57.000And he's doing the same with vets benefits.
00:45:59.000I'm going to be a guy who works for the constituents.
00:46:02.000And for that matter, for Democrats here in South Carolina, we all sit in traffic.
00:46:06.000We all have the horrific infrastructure.
00:46:09.000We all get the terrible electric bills.
00:46:11.000When I bring healthy food here, that's going to help everyone.
00:46:15.000So that's the promise of this campaign.
00:49:35.000He came to the Alabama theater here in North Myrtle Beach three weeks before he was killed and said, South Carolina, you need a new U.S. Senator.
00:49:44.000He's talking to all of us, not just us here in South Carolina.
00:50:23.000This might seem weird coming from somebody who's a little bit younger, but if you are about to turn 65 or if you're already on Medicare, this message is for you.
00:50:33.000You see, Charlie cared a lot about America's seniors, and he was outraged that so many were paying too much for their Medicare coverage and getting less than they deserved in return.
00:51:03.000They've already helped hundreds of our listeners enroll in better plans, and they can help you too.
00:51:08.000So if you're nearing 65 or even if you're already on Medicare, make the call today.
00:51:13.000Dial pound250 and say Charlie Kirk or go to askchapter.org slash Kirk.
00:51:21.000People are relieved when they speak with Chapter.
00:51:23.000They're honest and they're independent.
00:51:24.000So if you're turning 65 or already on Medicare, call Chapter today.
00:51:28.000Dial pound250 and say Charlie to speak with a trusted Medicare advisor.
00:51:32.000That's pound250 and say Charlie, it could save you thousands.
00:51:37.000Without further ado, I want to welcome our next guest, Mark Lynch, who's running for Senate in the great state of South Carolina to unseat Lindsey Graham.
00:51:46.000Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show, sir.
00:54:17.000I've run my family business, and I've grown it 35 times in 40 years, and we're debt-free.
00:54:23.000I don't think Paul even has a job right now since he was fired from Heritage Organization.
00:54:30.000So South Carolinians are looking for somebody that's worked through normal life stuff.
00:54:36.000I've been married 37 years to the same woman.
00:54:39.000We have two children, four grandchildren.
00:54:41.000We're very successful and run a debt-free business.
00:54:44.000And I've put $5 million of our retirement fund, my wife and I's retirement fund, when we decided to do this, to make people understand we're committed to this race.
00:54:56.000And I came up through this and got asked to run from my work in the national security space, working with John Guandolo, who is one of the heads of the anti-terrorism division of the FBI, working with General Mike Flynn, who's fully endorsed my campaign.
00:55:11.000So we're for real, and we bring that knowledge to this seat that's needed in this United States Senate seat.
00:56:28.000And, you know, we've been working in this area since 2014, training our police and FBI and sled agents and police deputies and sheriff's deputies on dealing with the Islamic infiltration in America and dealing with it at the local level.
00:56:43.000So we've got a real problem here, and we've got a lot of work to do.
00:56:47.000So on the legal immigration front, just to kind of drill in a little there, right now, you know, we issue about 1.2 million green cards a year, essentially.
00:56:59.000Do you have a disagreement with that number?
00:58:50.000I don't get to do that in my business.
00:58:52.000We have to gather up our biggest, best committees on a subject, analyze it, hear all the angles, and make a decision and keep moving forward.
00:59:00.000If I close my business for a month, that would be detrimental to our company's future and to our employees.
00:59:43.000You know, in the Quran, all Muslims are jihadists, and jihad is warring against all non-Muslims.
00:59:50.000And there's two forms of jihad and the surah versus the sword, military action, and then civilization jihad, where they say they will take their enemies down by their own hands.
01:00:02.000And we've experienced that in this country.
01:00:06.000I mean, in South Carolina, they're proposing we're one of two states left in the country that hasn't passed a hate crimes bill.
01:00:15.000And a hate crimes bill is being promoted by CARE, the Council of American Islamic Relations, and they're a Hamas terrorist organization.
01:00:23.000Now, why would CARE be so interested in South Carolina State House passing a hate crimes bill?
01:00:30.000Because that'll do away with our First Amendment freedom of speech rights, and it ushers in Sharia law.
01:00:36.000It's just another form of getting that done.
01:00:39.000And all Muslims are obligated to establish in a caliphate under Sharia law, period.
01:00:45.000And there's no other version of Islam taught anywhere in the world.
01:00:48.000We've got a problem right here at home where Lindsay's focused on everything else and he's left our country.
01:00:56.000And we've got issues right here where we've allowed all these terrorists to pour in here all these years and report to their assigned locations.
01:01:05.000For a lot of Americans, the healthcare system is reactive.
01:01:09.000You get sick first, and then you wait for an appointment.
01:01:12.000Then insurance decides what you're allowed to have, and suddenly the medication you need is delayed or it's not available.
01:01:18.000That is where all-family pharmacy is different.
01:04:28.000He's a great negotiator, like we've all seen.
01:04:31.000And he gives people a chance and he promotes peace.
01:04:36.000And Lindsay, I don't know who he thinks he is back during the Ukraine dilemma this past summer.
01:04:43.000Finally, Trump called him out on it and said, you need to be careful what you're talking about over there to Zelensky.
01:04:48.000He was trying to arbitrate between Putin and Zelensky and promote peace.
01:04:52.000And Lindsay's a warmonger doing everything he can for his two major contributors, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, who both contributed like over $30 and $40 million in his last race in 2020.
01:05:04.000So we know war is big bucks, but it's blood money.
01:05:10.000We can't start wars we don't need to start.
01:05:12.000We need to promote peace in the world and do the right thing and take care of our Americans here at home and run our country and not let other countries run us or some bloodlust war mongerer like Lindsey Graham.
01:05:29.000I want to poke at another issue where I think there could be a difference between you and Mr. Dan's.
01:05:35.000So you mentioned the budget, how we're broke.
01:05:40.000Dan's, when he was on here, he warned that Lindsey Graham wants to reduce Social Security benefits, that he'll go after some of the senior entitlements to pay for the war.
01:06:05.000When we present, we show the hierarchy of the government.
01:06:08.000We show all the unconstitutional agencies.
01:06:11.000And one of them is like the Department of Education.
01:06:14.000We've been corrupting our minds with a core education program that communists and Islamic terrorists wrote to get our children to hate America.
01:06:24.000They get taught they should probably look at transgender surgeries and change their sex if they want to.
01:06:30.000And these departments and unconstitutional agencies in the country, if we could close them all down, the expert economists say that would bring back 80% of our budget.
01:06:42.000And one of them is the Federal Reserve.
01:06:45.000That's a conglomeration of the richest families in the world that went down to Jekyll Island and formed that.
01:07:35.000And we've been spending an average at the beginning of $1.5 billion a day and increasing and adding on to our deficit at $38 trillion and growing.
01:07:46.000We can't pay the interest, and our grandchildren aren't going to have a chance at the country that I grew up in.
01:07:53.000And that's why I'm running to stop this and get it back under control.
01:08:36.000We wear these crosses with the American flag on it because making God first again will be the key to making America great again.
01:08:45.000That'll just be the fruit if we can bring God back into Congress.
01:08:49.000You know, our forefathers knew that God endowed us with certain unalienable rights.
01:08:55.000And my only authority as your United States Senator for South Carolina will be to protect those making decisions based off of God's word and through the Constitution.
