00:00:16.000 It's a really remarkable story.
00:00:17.000 The federal leviathan becomes a get-out-the-vote effort for Democrats.

00:01:44.000 Really glad to have Caroline Glick with us.
00:01:46.000 She's terrific.
00:01:47.000 Caroline, welcome back to the program.
00:01:49.000 Senior Contributing Editor from the Jewish News Syndicate and host of the Caroline Glick Show.
00:01:53.000 Caroline, I assume you and your family were safe this weekend, but walk us through what occurred and praise God that the missile defense system was able to intercept this act of aggression from Iranian soil. 0.97
00:02:04.000 It was historic and not in a good way.
00:02:05.000 Caroline, please explain.
00:02:07.000 So, yes, Saturday, Iran launched the largest combined missile and drone attack in history against Israel.
00:02:16.000 300 missiles, ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones were shot at Israel.
00:02:24.000 Another 300 actually were either DUDS or exploded over Iran.
00:02:30.000 So that would have made it twice the size if those had gone through as well.
00:02:34.000 So that was 300 missiles and drones that were shot at Israel from Iran.
00:02:40.000 And Israel intercepted the vast majority of those missiles and drones.
00:02:46.000 The United States assisted with around a dozen or so that it intercepted with its military forces.
00:02:55.000 Jordan was also providing information, as was Saudi Arabia.
00:03:00.000 The British and the French, I understand, also participated, but it was a defensive operation and it succeeded in intercepting 99% of the incoming projectiles from Iran.
00:03:12.000 This was a massive move by Iran. 0.99
00:03:14.000 It's the first time that it's directly attacked Israel.
00:03:18.000 Israel has been at war against Iran.
00:03:20.000 Iran has been waging war against Israel really since 1979, and in particular in the past two decades.
00:03:28.000 But all of its assaults against Israel have been carried out through terror armies that it's raised throughout the neighboring countries.
00:03:36.000 Lebanon, of course, is controlled by Hezbollah, which is an Iranian unit.
00:03:40.000 And Hamas is an Iranian proxy, as is the Islamic Jihad, which operates under Hamas.
00:03:46.000 Houthis are controlled by Iran.
00:03:49.000 And then you have proxy militias, which are also armies in Iraq and in Syria that Iran controls.
00:03:56.000 So it uses those armies that it's built up around, surrounding Israel, largely to attack Israel. 0.70
00:04:03.000 This is the first time that Iran has done it directly.
00:04:05.000 So this is a major, major move by Iran. 0.95
00:04:08.000 And Israel right now is gearing up to prepare an attack against Iran to counter the move.
00:04:15.000 Yeah, that is some breaking news.
00:04:16.000 We figure that.
00:04:18.000 What do you think we can anticipate from the Israeli government in response?
00:04:23.000 And is there a fear that this will potentially escalate into a wider regional conflict?
00:04:28.000 So this is a regional conflict.
00:04:30.000 I think it's sort of a misnomer to say, oh, this is going to escalate into a regional conflict.
00:04:36.000 Israel has been under attack from seven fronts since October 7, from Hamas, obviously, in Gaza, from the Houthis, from Hezbollah in Lebanon, and from Syria and Iraq and across the Jordan River from Jordan by Iraqi and Syrian militias controlled by Iran and now also by Iran.
00:04:56.000 So that's seven different fronts that Israel's been under attack from.
00:05:00.000 And that is a region.
00:05:01.000 That's the entire region.
00:05:03.000 The Saudis have also been attacked by the Houthis.
00:05:07.000 And Egypt has lost billions of dollars in revenues because of the chokehold that the Houthis have exerted on the Babil Manda that feeds into the Suez Canal and blocks maritime shipping to the Red Sea.
00:05:20.000 So this is very much a regional war.
00:05:22.000 It has been really since Iran ordered its Palestinian proxy to invade Israel on October 7th.
00:05:31.000 So I think that's very important to note.
00:05:34.000 Is it going to get bigger?
00:05:35.000 Is the front in the north going to heat up even more than it already has?
00:05:39.000 We've already absorbed 4,000 missiles and rockets from Lebanon since October 7th, being shot by Hezbollah.
00:05:46.000 We had four men wounded today by an IED that Hezbollah put down.
00:05:51.000 So this is, you know, this is already a regional war.
00:05:54.000 So the response from Israel is imminent. 0.58
00:05:57.000 Is there any attempt to de-escalate or should there be any attempt to de-escalate?
00:06:02.000 Because a launch from Iran on their own soil is a new chapter, right? 0.98
00:06:07.000 It's no longer proxies.
00:06:08.000 They can no longer hide behind their front groups.
00:06:12.000 And so do you think it seems that Biden is trying to de-escalate this, but should that be the approach of the Israeli government?
00:06:19.000 Israel can't stand by and not respond after we've been attacked on our soil bomb from Iran because doing so just invites further attacks. 0.82
00:06:29.000 I mean, this, again, this was an unprecedented move.
00:06:31.000 And if Israel lies down, even though 99% of the missiles were intercepted and did not reach their targets and minimal damage was caused to the targets that were reached, if Israel doesn't, the Iranians are presenting this to their people as a win. 0.94
00:06:48.000 Their media is lying, as it does routinely, and saying that they caused strategic damage to Israel, that it was a massive victory, et cetera.
00:06:57.000 And the only way to install deterrence, we don't have deterrence now.
00:07:03.000 If we did, then they wouldn't have attacked us to begin with, is to hit it where it hurts, is to hit the regime where it hurts.
00:07:11.000 It's to hit key installations belonging to the regime, both the oil and gas installations that are giving them a lifeline to the regime that's hated by 90% of the Iranian people, ensuring that it has the means to continue to oppress and kill them and to wage war against Israel and its other enemies in the region, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE. 0.71
00:07:33.000 And they're even threatening to overthrow the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. 0.61
00:07:39.000 So Carolyn, two things I want to talk to you about.
00:07:42.000 The first of which is the Joe Biden administration enabling the enriching of Iran. 0.87
00:07:48.000 What did the American government do recently that likely gave Iran the resources and the confidence to launch such an unprecedented attack? 0.97
00:07:58.000 Well, since October 7th, the United States has enabled the transfer of $20 billion to Iran.
00:08:05.000 And, you know, Iran has hundreds of billions of dollars now in reserves.
00:08:09.000 It was down to about five or ten, I think, when Biden came into office due to the sanctions that the Trump administration had implemented against Iran and the oil sanctions that it had implemented against Iran's oil exports and its gas exports.
00:08:27.000 So Iran was not able to carry out major wars through its proxies while Trump was in power because Trump impoverished the regime.
00:08:38.000 And Biden immediately stopped enforcing U.S. economic sanctions against Iran when he came into office.
00:08:45.000 He withdrew the sanction of the Houthis, which was designated by the Trump administration as a foreign terrorist organization, allowing them as well to operate in the international markets and to operate with impunity because it was no longer labeled a terrorist organization.
00:09:02.000 So these were among the first things that Biden did upon entering office, and they've had repercussions that we now all see in the form of the regional war that's being waged by Iran and its proxies against Israel.
00:09:15.000 Secondly, there's some people that are wondering in the media, not wondering, but they're saying, what was the reason that Israel bombed the embassy in Syria?
00:09:26.000 I believe it was there was an architect of October 7th there.
00:09:29.000 Caroline, help us understand that.
00:09:32.000 Israel didn't bomb any embassy in Damascus.
00:09:35.000 Israel bombed a building not far from the Iranian embassy that housed senior terrorists from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, including the IRGC general, Mohammad Zahedi, who was responsible for all of Iran's terrorist operations in Syria and Lebanon and was reportedly also the mastermind of the October 7th invasion of Israel.
00:10:00.000 And what's important about that, I think, among many other things, is that it exposes, it's untrue, the administration's contention that Iran didn't have any direct knowledge of Hamas's intent to invade Israel and carry out the atrocities it carried out, including the murder of 1,200 Israelis and the seizing of 246 Israelis as hostages in Gaza.
00:10:24.000 And so Iran obviously was behind the invasion. 0.93
00:10:30.000 It was responsible for the invasion. 1.00
00:10:32.000 It paid for the invasion.
00:10:33.000 It trained the forces, many of them that participated in the invasion of Israel.
00:10:37.000 So that's very important.
00:10:39.000 Israel attacked a military target.
00:10:41.000 Now, it's true that if you have terror forces operating in a diplomatic legation, in an embassy or consulate under the rules of war, that is a legitimate military target.
00:10:54.000 But all that said, Israel did not attack an embassy in Damascus.
00:10:59.000 It attacked a building that was not a diplomatic installation.
00:11:03.000 Well, thank you for clarifying that because Reuters comes out and they say, and I mean, I should have clarified it earlier, says Israel on Friday braced for an attack after the bombing of Iran's embassy in Damascus.
00:11:16.000 So that's the Western media for you.

00:12:13.000 Great guy, great American, really terrific what they're doing.
00:12:16.000 PatriotMobile.com/slash Charlie.
00:12:18.000 That is patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot, patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie.
00:12:26.000 And so, the issue that I think Joe Biden has, Carolyn, is that he's an unreliable ally.
00:12:32.000 He says one thing, does another, releases a lot of money to the Iranian regime.
00:12:38.000 And so, the American people stand with Israel.
00:12:42.000 I certainly do.
00:12:43.000 But Joe Biden is facing a lot of domestic political pressure from Muslim voters, especially in Michigan.
00:12:51.000 Is this factoring into how you guys are analyzing the situation, understanding that Joe Biden has a domestic political problem where he's trying to play cute to both sides?
00:13:01.000 I think that the reasons why Joe Biden is acting the way he is are important in and of themselves, but they're not important for Israel.
00:13:13.000 And we're trying to figure out what to do because I think that the imperative here is to defeat our enemies.
00:13:21.000 We're fighting a war for our survival.
00:13:24.000 On October 7th, we were defeated.
00:13:26.000 I mean, we saw what the end looks like on October 7th.
00:13:29.000 They carried out an attack that we weren't prepared for, that we didn't anticipate, and they just annihilated everyone who came in their way and did it with a sadism that nobody could have imagined.
00:13:46.000 And even when you look at what they did, it's hard to believe that it actually happened because it was so barbaric.
00:13:53.000 And they'll do it again and again.
00:13:54.000 They already promised to.
00:13:56.000 And Iran backs us because this is exactly what Iran wants. 0.92
00:14:00.000 This is what Hezbollah wants. 0.99
00:14:02.000 And so, from the very outset of this war, which began with the greatest defeat Israel suffered in our history, everybody in this country on the right, on the left, in the center, religious, secular, everybody understands that this is a war for our national survival.
00:14:19.000 And Iran's attack against us on Saturday night just makes that all the clearer that how it will look.
00:14:27.000 Iran is on the verge of nuclear capabilities thanks to the Biden administration's non-enforcement of the constraints on Iran, even under the nuclear deal that they so want to join again.
00:14:39.000 And so, we're in a situation where we simply have to win.
00:14:44.000 And that has little to do with Biden's calculations for his personal political interests or for anything else.
00:14:52.000 It means that Israel has to defeat Hamas, completely go through with our plan to take over the city of Rafah and seize the international border between Gaza and Egypt and remain there. 0.65
00:15:03.000 And that we have to take action against Iran in order to make them pay a price that everybody will see and nobody will ever forget for thinking even for a second that it was okay to attack Israel with ballistic and cruise missiles and with killer drones. 0.96
00:15:19.000 That this simply cannot happen again either.
00:15:21.000 So, the fact that it happened again means that what we've done in Gaza is clearly not enough.
00:15:27.000 It's insufficient to build up, restore the deterrence that was completely obliterated on October 7th, or maybe before since they attacked.
00:15:38.000 And that we have to, and to do that, we have to defeat our enemies.
00:15:41.000 I hope that the Biden administration will come around and see that American Jews and Christians also vote, not just Muslims in Michigan.
00:15:50.000 And by the way, United Auto Workers also vote, and they don't like him for a completely different reason.
00:15:56.000 So, you know, I hope that that happens.
00:15:58.000 Yeah, and for the stability of the region and the world and for Israel. 0.73
00:16:02.000 Last question, Carolyn.
00:16:04.000 I was encouraged by seeing Jordan and other partners step up and defend Israel.
00:16:10.000 This was a good sign.
00:16:12.000 It always seemed as if they would lean in that direction.
00:16:14.000 But when the rubber hit the road, there were more people that were willing to stand up to the Iranian regime.
00:16:19.000 Can you comment on that?
00:16:21.000 I think it's very important to understand that the Iranians are threatening the existence of the Hashemite, the Hashemite kingdom in Jordan. 1.00
00:16:29.000 And what Prime Minister Netanyahu said from the outset, and he's repeated since, you know, the future of peace in the region, whether with Israel's partners already or with future partners like Saudi Arabia, it's all contingent on us winning the war.
00:16:43.000 If we don't win the war, all the peace agreements that we have will be destroyed.
00:16:46.000 And if we do, not only will they be secured for the future, but we'll see the normalization of our relations with the remaining Arab states that have been holding out first and foremost against Saudi Arabia. 0.79
00:16:57.000 So, you know, everything is contingent.
00:16:59.000 Regional peace is contingent on Israel's victory here.
00:17:02.000 Carolyn, we stand with Israel.
00:17:04.000 Stay safe and God bless you.
00:17:06.000 Thank you so much.
00:17:07.000 Thank you very much.
00:17:08.000 Thank you.
00:17:12.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:17:16.000 If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:17:25.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:17:30.000 I take it every single day.
00:17:33.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.
00:17:35.000 I did the research.
00:17:35.000 Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen.
00:17:42.000 It's simple.
00:17:43.000 Every area of your body has cells.
00:17:45.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.
00:17:48.000 You don't have to take my word for it.
00:17:49.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.
00:17:51.000 After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:17:58.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:18:01.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:18:04.000 At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:18:09.000 I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:18:17.000 Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:18:20.000 So there it is.
00:18:21.000 You've heard from me directly and some of the users who have seen their lives changed by Strong Cell.
00:18:26.000 I personally recommend taking it every day for at least 30 days.
00:18:29.000 I take it every day before I go on the air, and it's helped me in more ways than I can even name.
00:18:33.000 Each of our bodies is very different.
00:18:35.000 So I would recommend you give the supplement at least two to three months to see the changes in your body.

00:19:07.000 Joining us now, two very, very important guests.
00:19:10.000 We have the Secretary of State of Mississippi, Michael Watson, joining us by phone.
00:19:15.000 And then we have Mac Warner, the Secretary of State of West Virginia.
00:19:19.000 Easiest to call you Mac and Michael.
00:19:21.000 Welcome to the program, both of you.
00:19:23.000 Good to be with you.
00:19:24.000 All right, let's start with you, Michael.
00:19:27.000 Thank you for calling in.
00:19:28.000 I want to walk through the details here.
00:19:29.000 So this is basically, effectively, Zuckerbucks on steroids, how Joe Biden has mobilized the entire force of the federal government as a get-out-the-vote operation.
00:19:41.000 The scale of this is hard to even grasp.
00:19:43.000 I'll start with you, Michael.
00:19:44.000 Please explain.
00:19:46.000 It is, Charlie.
00:19:46.000 And thanks again for having us on.
00:19:48.000 And this started back in March of 21 when the president issued his Executive Order 14019.
00:19:54.000 And basically what it does is it turns every federal agency into voter registration and get out the vote arms of the Democratic Party.
00:20:00.000 So no matter if it's the Railroad Retirement Board or the DOJ or you name it, every federal agency now is equipped and weaponized to register voters.
00:20:10.000 And you've got to understand, if you look at Zuckerbucks 1.0, how they really did this back in 2020, they put the money where they could turn out votes for a certain party.
00:20:19.000 Obviously, the folks that they wanted to go vote.
00:20:21.000 This is exactly what they're going to be doing here because they're hiring third-party groups to go out and do these voter registration drives.
00:20:26.000 And you can only imagine the list of individuals that's been invited to the White House to do these things, Deimos, you name it, NAACP, folks that aren't friends of Republicans and conservatives.
00:20:36.000 Those are the people that are going to be out registering voters and making sure that they go vote.
00:20:39.000 So that's why this is such a big issue and why I appreciate Mac and other secretaries that are really waking up to this to make sure that Americans understand what's going on.
00:20:48.000 Yeah.
00:20:48.000 So Mac, what are your thoughts on this?
00:20:51.000 And then also, can you just talk about how does this manifest in practice?
00:20:54.000 600 federal agencies, it's hard to even wrap our head around that.
00:20:59.000 I always like to start with the Constitution.
00:21:01.000 Article 1, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution says the time, manner, and place of elections shall be left to state legislatures, not to the federal government.
00:21:09.000 There's nothing in the U.S. Constitution that gives the federal government the right to nationalize our elections.
00:21:15.000 And so what has happened with this initial order, we waited for about a year.
00:21:21.000 We pushed back right away and said, what are you doing?
00:21:23.000 What's the basis for this?
00:21:24.000 What's the legal basis?
00:21:25.000 And then what is the implementation or implementation of this going to actually look like in the states?
00:21:30.000 And when they didn't respond for a year, we pushed back with the leather.
00:21:34.000 There were about 15 or 16 secretaries of state who said, whoa, you need to rescind this order because it's unconstitutional.
00:21:40.000 Two more years passed, absolutely nothing.
00:21:43.000 And it wasn't until a week ago that they then came out.
00:21:45.000 Here we are in the middle of the election year.
00:21:47.000 And now they've come out with this program.
00:21:49.000 And we find out that they have been acting behind closed doors, no transparency, working with these third-party liberal, Democrat, progressive NGOs, coming up with this plan.
00:22:01.000 And it's going to, like Michael said, 600 federal agencies are going to become register and get out the vote for the Democrats.
00:22:09.000 And it's just simply unconstitutional.
00:22:11.000 Like you said, it's like Zuckerbucks on steroids using our federal tax dollars and our federal institutions to work for the Democrat Party.
00:22:21.000 Just not, it's election interference at its worst.
00:22:24.000 Mac, I want to just follow up with you.
00:22:25.000 Is somebody suing about this or challenging it?
00:22:28.000 I imagine their response is, oh, no, this is just public welfare, nonpartisan, underrepresented community stuff, but we know exactly what it is.
00:22:35.000 Is somebody currently suing to try to stop this?
00:22:39.000 There is a case coming out of Pennsylvania.
00:22:41.000 We plan to do an amicus that's going to join in on that, but there isn't time for this to work through the courts.
00:22:46.000 The Biden administration is trying to do it right now during the primary season and certainly for the general election in November.
00:22:52.000 You know how slow the courts are.
00:22:54.000 This is a call to action to everybody across the United States to get to your Secretary of State and let them know they need to join in on this pushback, one calling to rescind.
00:23:04.000 Of course, we don't expect the Biden administration to rescind this, although that would be the right thing to do.
00:23:09.000 We simply want to put public pressure on the White House to say enough is enough.
00:23:13.000 Be transparent.
00:23:14.000 Michael himself is asked on the phone call from the White House a week ago and said, who did you coordinate with?
00:23:20.000 They certainly didn't coordinate with the Secretaries of State.
00:23:23.000 And that's what irritated us.
00:23:24.000 We're the chief elections officers for the states and no coordination from the White House.
00:23:29.000 They're hiding from us.
00:23:30.000 They're using these third parties because they aren't, you can't FOIA those.
00:23:35.000 If something happens with the Secretary of State, someone can, a citizen can ask for those communications and they would have, we would have to turn it over.
00:23:42.000 We want to, we want to be transparent, but these NGOs are not transparent.
00:23:46.000 So, so, Michael, I want to go to you.
00:23:47.000 So, let's just use Mississippi as an example, and then I'll go back to Mac.
00:23:51.000 How are you defying this in the state of Mississippi?
00:23:53.000 How can you, as the Secretary of State, say that the Department of Interior, the VA, is not able to do voter registration?
00:24:00.000 How does it look like in practice the defying of this?
00:24:04.000 Two parts there.
00:24:04.000 Number one, you look at the NVRA from 1993, and if states reach out to certain federal agencies, they can partner.
00:24:11.000 The problem is that happens on the state end, not the federal government, and that's where they're overreaching.
00:24:15.000 They have no authority whatsoever to do this.
00:24:17.000 And, Charlie, I think it's really important to point out something that Mac alluded to there.
00:24:21.000 We were on a phone call.
00:24:22.000 I was a week and a half or so ago, and several other secretaries.
00:24:25.000 And so, I asked the White House directly: listen, we understand that you've told these federal agencies to come up with plans.
00:24:30.000 We want to see these plans to make sure we understand what they're doing and how they're acting in our state.
00:24:36.000 I was told, and this is basically a quote: number one, that information is not public.
00:24:42.000 And number two, it never was intended to be public.
00:24:45.000 So, this is a federal agency, the White House, it should be transparent in everything that it does, is telling an elected Secretary of State who's in charge of running elections, number one, you're not getting that information.
00:24:57.000 And number two, we don't intend for it to be public.
00:24:59.000 That should be a wake-up call to every Secretary of State in this country, every American in this country, to make sure we understand what's going on right under our eyes.
00:25:07.000 And if we're paying attention and really watching what's happening, I think we've got the best chance to push back.
00:25:13.000 So, Mac, in West Virginia, the state that you're the secret, you administer elections there.
00:25:21.000 This kind of GOTVA federal money, I mean, what is the EPA going to go be doing voter registration drives now in West Virginia if this isn't thwarted?
00:25:29.000 That's what the Biden administration wants.
00:25:32.000 What I'm doing is I'm working with my county clerks who run elections in the counties and saying, don't accept registrations that come in illegally.
00:25:39.000 It's never been easier to register than it is right now.
00:25:41.000 You can do it on your cell phone.
00:25:43.000 There's so many ways to register.
00:25:45.000 We don't need the federal government overstepping its bounds and becoming voter registration drive, conducting voter registration drives.
00:25:52.000 So, I'm telling my county clerks not to accept registrations that come in illegally.
00:25:58.000 So, to both of you, the call to action is for all of the secretary of states across the country, specifically Republicans, to defy this order.
00:26:07.000 And I mean, this very well could tilt the election in certain states like Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, if this is not thwarted.
00:26:15.000 Michael, your final reaction.
00:26:17.000 Yeah, really quickly, I think it's important.
00:26:18.000 One of the things that we're doing, we're sending letters to every federal agency that has an office in our state, as well as every prison, because under Section 9, it basically tells the U.S. Marshals Service to not only go out and help felons register to vote, but also illegal governments who may be in their custody.
00:26:33.000 That's illegal.
00:26:34.000 So, again, it's making sure we understand who's doing what in our state.
00:26:37.000 And the problem is the White House isn't telling us.
00:26:39.000 So, we're having to track that information down by ourselves.
00:26:42.000 Mac, final thoughts here?
00:26:43.000 Call to action for the national audience here?
00:26:45.000 I think what Michael's doing is exactly what we need to do, and that's contact the federal agencies in our state and say, you know, shouldn't be doing this.
00:26:52.000 We're not going to accept those applications.
00:26:54.000 What we saw with Zuckerberg and the money that was allegedly going out for PPE personal protective equipment actually went to get out the vote drives for the Democrats in key swing counties, swing states.
00:27:06.000 We saw in Wisconsin, I think the margin of victory was about 20,000.
00:27:09.000 It's pretty clear that the Zuckerbucks that were used to get out the vote for the Democrats may have been the difference in that election.
00:27:17.000 We don't want these elections to be swung because of Zuckerbucks or because of the federal government overreaching.
00:27:24.000 We want free, fair, clean elections.
00:27:26.000 Thank you guys so much for your leadership and for shining a light on this.
00:27:28.000 Appreciate it, guys.
00:27:29.000 Thank you so much.
00:27:30.000 Thank you, George.
00:27:31.000 Just everyone understands, the Biden bucks is going to be bigger than Zuckerbucks ever was.
00:27:36.000 I want to read this from the Federalist.
00:27:38.000 Biden bucks stink emanates from leftist groups' voter drive in Milwaukee schools.
00:27:43.000 The Milwaukee Initiative has all the markings of Biden bucks, an executive order that threatens to transform federal agencies into a get-out-the-vote machine for Democrats.
00:27:53.000 Just 16% of Milwaukee public school students can even read or write.
00:27:56.000 Only 12% are proficient in math in the swing state of Wisconsin's largest school district.
00:28:00.000 So, why on earth is the Milwaukee Public School prioritizing with a Democrat-aligned activist organization aimed at turning out the polls of 18-year-old students in Milwaukee public schools?
00:28:09.000 Why is the anti-voter ID vote group vote writers working with MPS faculty designated as voter champions?
00:28:17.000 Naked politics, the Federalist writes, and familiar politics at that, according to Dave Craig, a senior legal fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability.
00:28:25.000 Man, let me just pause.
00:28:26.000 These guys are so serious about winning elections.
00:28:29.000 We are not.
00:28:31.000 They are mobilizing the federal government as a GO TV arm for quote-unquote underrepresented communities.
00:28:37.000 They're indicting Donald Trump.
00:28:40.000 This doesn't even count the billions of dollars that are coming from oligarchs.
00:28:45.000 Billions of dollars.
00:28:47.000 Milwaukee's left-led young voter drive may arguably be more nefarious than the buckets of money Facebook founder and conservative silencer Mark Zuckerberg dumped into the 2020 election administration.
00:28:58.000 So let me just make this straight.
00:28:59.000 Let me get this straight.
00:29:00.000 Why can't the states then say that federal government money cannot be used in the administration of these elections?
00:29:06.000 The same way that they ban Zuckerboxes, why can't they ban Biden boxes? 1.00
00:29:11.000 But the defying thing doesn't quite make sense to me because they're muddling issues.
00:29:16.000 The thing is that they're doing voter registration via government agencies.
00:29:21.000 That's going to be very, very hard to block in courts.
00:29:23.000 Very hard.
00:29:24.000 That'll be very difficult for agency, for us to block in the courts.
00:29:28.000 Very difficult.
00:29:29.000 Like the VA is registering voters, you're like, okay, I don't see a federal judge overturning that.
00:29:35.000 And they're going to say, oh, it's underrepresented communities, which you know, that is code for future Democrat voters.
00:29:42.000 Democrats are playing to win.
00:29:43.000 The Democrats play to win.
00:29:46.000 Elections should be run by states.
00:29:47.000 The federal government should not be there to administer elections and/or help increase the likelihood of Joe Biden winning again.
00:29:54.000 It's going to come down to just a couple votes in a couple states, everybody.
00:30:00.000 Debt.

00:30:55.000 As we're doing this, the Palestinian protesters are blocking the ability to get to O'Hare International Airport.
00:31:02.000 They are blocking Golden Gate Bridge.
00:31:04.000 And the police are just taking their time.
00:31:07.000 Police are just kind of going.
00:31:08.000 They don't know how to deal with these people.
00:31:10.000 Here's a good way to retaliate.
00:31:12.000 In red states, you should pass laws that say if you do this, it's an attack on society and it's going to be 10 years in prison.
00:31:21.000 This is a collective punishment on ordinary people because a group of fringe psychopaths are more worried about a foreign war than disturbing people's lives.
00:31:31.000 What if an ambulance is on that bridge and they're blocking an ambulance?
00:31:35.000 That's an interesting moral question.
00:31:38.000 If an ambulance was carrying somebody, do they have a moral right to run over the protesters that are blocking the bridge after many warnings?
00:31:45.000 That's an interesting question.
00:31:47.000 They are blocking Golden Gate Bridge.
00:31:49.000 I want you to just ask a question.
00:31:51.000 What if there was somebody waiting on Golden Gate Bridge and their wife is in labor?
00:31:56.000 What if there's a fire truck and these lunatics are blocking the entire street?
00:32:00.000 Why? 0.95
00:32:02.000 Because they're financed by some sort of Arab money organization.
00:32:06.000 By the way, Red States, what a great opportunity. 0.98
00:32:08.000 If this happens in a red state, you guys should open a RICO case and find out who's funding all these shutdowns of highways.
00:32:16.000 But these people are just anti-civilization.
00:32:19.000 They like to hurt people and cause mayhem every time, every place.
00:32:25.000 So I want to go back to that question.
00:32:26.000 If you're driving an ambulance and you're right now on the Golden Gate Bridge and it's totally shut down because of these protesters and they refuse to move and they refuse to move and they refuse to move, and you say, move, I have somebody dying in the back of my ambulance.
00:32:40.000 I have somebody die in the back of my ambulance.
00:32:43.000 Do you have the right to just plow through them? 0.76
00:32:50.000 Hopefully yes.
00:32:51.000 I think the answer is yes.
00:32:54.000 I think it is.
00:32:55.000 I have no patience.
00:32:56.000 This is a collective punishment on all of society that we're just going to shut down streets because we want something our way.
00:33:03.000 And by the way, I'm not saying that everyone should run them over.
00:33:05.000 I'm saying if you're driving an ambulance and you have a life-threatening emergency and these people shut it, they just shut it down.
00:33:12.000 If you warn them time and time again and then they are blocking somebody from having life-saving treatment, forget it.
00:33:20.000 Full speed ahead.
00:33:22.000 After multiple warnings, they still are going to shut down a highway.
00:33:27.000 I want you to imagine, I don't like doing this, but it is helpful.
00:33:31.000 What if MAGA started to shut down highways because Donald Trump is in court?
00:33:37.000 What if we started to shut down highways and we just linked arms?
00:33:41.000 A, they would run us over and they would not ever pay a penalty.
00:33:45.000 B, we would go to jail for like 10 years.
00:33:50.000 By the way, what if you miss a flight that costs you $1,000?
00:33:54.000 It's basically somebody robbing you of $1,000.
00:33:56.000 No different from any sort of robbery, which reminds me of my Final Four story that I want to tell you.
00:34:02.000 And I couldn't even win over Ryan on this one.
00:34:05.000 Makes me very suspicious.
00:34:08.000 I paid up for some very, very good Final Four tickets.
00:34:11.000 Love the Final Four.
00:34:13.000 And the way the Final Four works is there's four teams, two games, and then usually a lot of fans leave.
00:34:19.000 So I have these great, these really nice tickets paid up for them.
00:34:22.000 And you kind of, you know, who's sitting around you.
00:34:24.000 Then all of a sudden, these new people arrive.
00:34:27.000 And they stole the seats that they did not pay for.
00:34:31.000 And they were like snickering and taking pictures.
00:34:34.000 Then eventually the people came back.
00:34:35.000 They actually didn't leave.
00:34:36.000 They just went to the concessions.
00:34:38.000 And these are like grown 55-year-old men.
00:34:40.000 And they weren't like sitting a couple rows back.
00:34:42.000 They were in a completely different section.
00:34:44.000 We're talking about thousands of dollars of difference in ticket price.
00:34:49.000 I think that's theft.
00:34:50.000 I think those guys should go to jail.
00:34:52.000 I do.
00:34:53.000 I think that if you go into an event and you steal somebody's ticket and you go seat in somebody's seat, I think they should be criminalized, penalized for that.
00:35:02.000 I'm not even talking like five or six rows.
00:35:04.000 I'm talking about they were in the cheap seats.
00:35:08.000 How is that any different than going into a store and stealing a product? 0.98
00:35:12.000 See, because it makes me feel like a sucker. 0.87
00:35:14.000 I paid for it full price. 0.99
00:35:15.000 I guess I'm a sucker. 0.98
00:35:17.000 Anyway, if you block a highway, you should go to federal prison. 0.98
00:35:20.000 That was like, that was my little final four.
00:35:23.000 Do you guys agree with me on that?
00:35:24.000 I want you guys freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:35:27.000 You think that there should be a penalty for seat stealing at games, especially when the price differential, when it's a huge game like that?
