WARNING: Pelosi's Californication of America's Elections
Charlie tackles the dangerous H.R. 1 which Democrats have named the euphemistic "For the People Act." Breaking down the dangerous House bill point by point, Charlie explains why this Washington, D.C. power grab would result in entrenching the very same electoral policies Democrats used in 2020 in an effort to ensure a Democrat majority in Congress for the foreseeable future and a progressive president permanently in White House.

Hey everybody, HR1 has passed the House and it's looming in front of the Senate, a bill that will change elections forever.
We go through it piece by piece, the most comprehensive review of HR1 of any other program in the country.
Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
If you want to support us, go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
If you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, go to tpusa.com.
Buckle up, everybody here.
We go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
HR1.
House Resolution 1.
So the top priority of Pelosi and the House Democrats is not opening schools, opening businesses.
Instead, it's fundamentally and permanently changing the way we do elections in our country.
HR1, which is called For the People Act, this is a very good summary by Heritage Foundation because it doesn't deal with social media stuff.
It's a very, very good thing because they take money from the tech companies.
HR1 would federalize and micromanage the election process administered by the states, imposing unnecessary, unwise, and unconstitutional mandates on the states and reversing the decentralization of the American election process, which is essential to the protection of our liberty and freedom.
It's very well said here by Heritage.
HR1 would federalize and micromanage the election process.
And so the details here are really well put together.
They did some very good scholarship here.
They really did.
So let's go through it.
What is HR1?
Well, it's called HR1 because it's literally the first House resolution.
That's why.
The top priority.
So basically, according to the United States Constitution, every state is able to independently determine how they do their elections.
This is frustrating.
It's maddening.
It's constitutional.
Laboratory is a democracy.
Competitions between states.
It ensures and allows to widespread voter fraud.
That's why anyone watching here right now would say, I trust the election results out of Florida, but out of Georgia, I don't know.
Because you have Brian Kemp, who's not a good governor.
Then you have Ron DeSantis, who might be America's greatest governor.
And they have different ways that they're able to use their power and their authority to impact and institute change.
HR1 would change all of that.
HR1 would basically bring the California model of doing elections and impose it in South Dakota, impose it in Florida.
It would mandate certain measures that are so scary, so dangerous, it's hard to believe that this passed the House of Representatives.
Now, Pelosi is doing this new thing.
Nancy Pelosi, it's probably her last year as Speaker and probably her last year in the House.
Do you know she's passing these bills without ever passing it through committee?
There's no committee markups.
This is the first time in the history of the House of Representatives that they are passing massive structural bills without ever bringing them through committee.
If Paul Ryan or John Boehner ever thought to do this, they would have been so, they would be front page of the New York Times.
By the way, with everything that's happening in the country, you know what's on the front page of the New York Times?
Wind.
They have a picture of wind farms.
No, this is actually what the New York Times, not Joe Biden, not the scandals happening around that wind.
I kid you not.
Do you hear that noise?
That's New York Times' earnings going down.
They think that yesterday it was Myanmar.
So they got Myanmar for two days and wind.
I kid you not, front page of the New York Times.
Wind rises in coal country.
Despite its deep roots in fossil fuels, Wyoming is slowly becoming a wind powerhouse.
Not everyone is overjoyed about it.
Really?
Slow News Day, the New York Times.
You couldn't find Trump's golf schedule.
Anyway, if Paul Ryan and John Boehner did what Nancy Pelosi is doing, which is passing bills without allowing committee markup, huge, just outrage to depth content.
Because committee markup is where you allow the other party to ask questions.
They even might bring witnesses, hearings, all that stuff.
None of it.
And they're able to vote remotely.
Do you know that?
The House of Representatives is able to vote remotely.
So it totally and completely seized the authority of states.
Forcing to implement automatic voter registration.
Forcing.
And no fault absentee balloting.
Let's go to Cut 58 of Mike Garcia.
He was just on our podcast, and you should check out the podcast.
He won by 333 votes.
Play tape.
What this bill does is effectively upload a lot of the problems that we have with our elections in California to the national level.
It allows states to run elections without requiring voter ID.
It allows states to run elections where ballot harvesting is legal.
And the worst part of this is it allows campaigns and candidates to get federal funding for their own campaigns.
If someone donates less than $200, the federal government will match that times six so that you can stay whole as a candidate.
This is absolutely absurd.
This is not something anyone wants.
This is a problem that we've been seeing in California in many ways getting uploaded again to the national level.
I'm going to get into the public financing of elections.
I actually probably have a different view than most Republicans on it.
I don't have the AOC view, but I'm going to put that issue aside that Mike Garcia said.
But the majority of Mike Garcia's video focusing on the automatic voter registration and all the issues.
So here's the Democrats' strategy: play offense always.
Remember Solinsky's rules for radicals: keep the pressure on.
They also know that the voter integrity issue is getting more attention.
So instead of addressing it or trying to reform our elections, Democrats now want to create a permanent system in place that opens itself to widespread fraud and some would call it shenanigans.
Is that Dan Crenshaw?
Did he talk about it?
Dan's actually been really, really good on this.
Let's play Dan Crenshaw.
And I've always found it interesting that elections are the one thing my colleagues on the other side don't want to strictly regulate.
See, there's this mythology amongst Democrats that common sense rules in an election are synonymous with voter suppression.
They make it sound like you have to go through an obstacle course to go vote.
This isn't true.
It's nonsense, and everybody knows it.
Truth is that four out of five Americans support voter ID laws.
And countless Americans have expressed concern because they receive mail-in ballots for other people addressed to their homes.
They want this fixed, and they don't want the problem to get worse.
But this bill makes elections less trustworthy, not more.
And trust is everything.
Crenshaw is exactly right.
They act as if you have to go through a Navy SEALs training course, something he would know about, to go vote.
In fact, in one of this article here, which I have a lot of problems with the Wall Street Journal's covering of this, and I'll get to that in a second, Terry Sewell from Alabama says the right to vote is under attack.
No, it's not.
This is just not true.
I got an email here, freedom at charliekirk.com, from Mike in Pennsylvania.
Hi, Mike.
Thanks for listening.
Hi, Charlie.
Isn't HR1 unconstitutional?
It probably is.
But the point is they're going to get this refined in some way.
It's worth going through.
HR1 would degrade the accuracy of registration lists by requiring states to automatically register all individuals.
You might say, well, what's the problem with that?
All individuals.
See, this is what happens when you don't allow committee markup.
Individuals, not citizens.
If you exist in the state of California, according to HR1, you'll be registered to vote.
If you're a visitor from Tokyo in New York City spending a couple weeks, you could get registered to vote.
You're an individual.
Citizens is the operative word.
But they're going to take it from state and federal databases.
For my quote, the Department of Motor Vehicles.
This is why when Republicans like Rick Perry and others started to give drivers' licenses to illegal, right?
That's what Rick Perry did.
Started giving drivers' licenses to illegals.
We were warning, hey, they're going to use that database to automatically register voters eventually.
And Rick Perry's a nice guy.
He's a friend of mine, but I totally disagree with the, I think he also gave in-state tuition to illegals, didn't he?
Did all sorts of nonsense.
That was a huge point of concern.
I remember that.
So HR1 would take all of these databases, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Center for Medicare.
Oh, the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
That's nice.
So we're going to have Nicaraguan rapists registered to vote.
That's what HR1 would do.
And if you just look into the numbers, can you guys get the exact number?
There's six figures of illegals in our prisons.
Six figures.
HR1 would constitute a recipe for massive voter registration fraud by hackers and cyber criminals through online voter registration.
It would also require states to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to register.
Yeah, that's really what we're missing.
We're missing what's really wrong with our republic is that we don't have enough high schoolers voting.
That's the problem.
HR1 would require states to count ballots cast by voters outside of their assigned precincts.
Just vote anywhere.
We don't need accuracy.
We need volume.
The numbers are at least 13% of our federal prison population and nearly 30% of those in custody of the U.S. Marshal Service are illegal immigrants.
All told, 60,000 people in the Justice Department custody, that's just the federal system, are suspected to be illegals.
Of those, about 38,000 were held in prison, accounting for about 21% of the overall population.
And if I'm not mistaken, I'm doing the math.
If they're 21% of the entire population, that's much higher than their percentage of the population.
They are punching way above their percentage of population in the country.
Is that right?
There are no way they're 21% of the American population that way.
At most, it would be 10 if there's 30 million illegals.
83,698 illegals are in jail and 71,000 legals, legal immigrants, were incarcerated in 2018.
And that doesn't even count the damage or the crime that accompanies their act.
But according to HR1, we got to go register those guys and gals to vote.
Mandate no-fault absentee ballots.
Again, I'm reading from heritage.org.
They did a nice job here.
Which are the tool choice for vote thieves.
It would ban witness signature or notarization requirements.
So you have no, it would be illegal to have a signature verification of absentee ballots.
Anyone could be filling it up.
It would force states to accept absentee ballots received up to 10 days after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked by Election Day.
By now, you've heard me talk about how my pillow is terrific.
And look, Mike Lindell is under fire right now.
And so maybe you're going for a walk, maybe you're riding your bike, maybe you're shoveling some snow.
You say, Mike Lindell, Mike Lindell is under fire.
And so if you want to support Mike Lindell, who's a courageous American, he's a friend of mine, then there's one way you can do it.
You can buy great pillows that are made here in America.
You can wash and dry them, and you know how great they are.
You see the commercials and all this.
But look, I'm going to tell you something that no one else is going to tell you: is that Mike Lindell loves America and that millions and millions of people want to help Mike Lindell.
I know I get emails from people all the time, thousands of people.
They say, how can we help Mike Lindell?
How can we get behind Mike Lindell?
How can we support Mike Lindell?
So go to mypillow.com and guess what?
You can support two people at once.
So you can support Mike Lindell, the Charlie Kirk show, and get something in return.
You might say, how do I do that?
You go to mypillow.com and click on Radio Listeners, Radio Listener Square, and use the promo code Kirk.
It's that easy.
So mypillow.com.
I know that a lot of you want to get Mike Lindell and you say, how can I help?
Go to mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
You can get a queen-size premium, MyPillow, for $29.98.
Support the fighters, metaphorical, of course.
I know a lot of you want to do that.
Go to mypillow.com, Radio Listener Square, promo code Kirk.
It helps me.
It helps Mike.
And you get a pillow and you sleep well.
God bless America.
Did you know that 250,000 criminal aliens were booked in Texas jails between June 2011 and April 2018?
These individuals were charged with more than 663,000 offenses, 100,000 offenses, including 1,351 homicides, 79,000 assault charges, 18,000 burglaries, 79,000 drug charges, 815 kidnapping, 44,000 thefts, 50,000 obstruction police charges, 4,292 robbery charges, 7,156 sexual assault charges,
and 9,938 weapons charges.
An open porous border comes at a very serious price.
HR1 would also require states, require them, to allow ballot harvesting.
It would require states to allow the mass collection of ballots.
This is something that happens in Oregon.
It happens in Colorado, where the chain of custody of ballots are completely broken.
California has perfected this model in recent years.
It would require that South Dakota and their sovereignty and their 10th Amendment given rights, where the 10th Amendment clearly says that all rights and liberties not articulated in the first nine parts of the Bill of Rights are given to the states and then to the people.
Any third party, including campaign staffers and political consultants, can pick up and deliver absentee ballots.
H.R. 1 will prevent election officials from checking the eligibility and qualifications of voters and removing ineligible voters.
So you no longer can remove dead people, people that have moved out of the country, felons, anyone.
It would make it nearly impossible to verify who's actually on the voter rolls.
Automatic voter registration for every single individual, and then everyone gets a ballot.
And this passed in the House.
This is not some concocted theory that some professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has been floating.
It's not some fringe presidential candidate who suggested this.
It's now passed the House of Representatives.
It would massively violate the First Amendment with respect to a vast range of legal activity.
It would add a provision criminalizing, quote, hindering, interfering, or preventing anyone from registering or voting, which is so unbelievably vague.
Think about how vague and broad that is.
So basically, I'm reading from Heritage's document here, it could prevent or provide information to election officials about the ineligibility of any individual, such as an applicant not being a U.S. citizen.
H.R. 1, which again is their priority number 1, House Resolution 1, it would expand regulation and government censorship of campaigns and political activity in speech, including online and policy-related speech.
It would impose onerous legal and administration state of compliance burdens and costs on candidates.
It would reduce the number of federal election commission members from six to five.
It would prohibit the state election officials from participating in federal elections.
So it will nationalize our entire election system.
And it would require states to restore the abilities of felons to vote.
It would transfer the constitutionally granted right to draw congressional districts.
And they should really rename this bill to the Boston Bomber Bill.
Because this bill would allow the Boston bomber to have a right to vote.
Now, once you've paid your debt to society and you've proven that you are not a clear and present danger and you've served your time, I'm not necessarily morally opposed to restoring the right to vote.
But if you are currently in prison, I am completely opposed to restoring current prisoners' right to vote.
There's some good arguments as to why.
Number one, people say, well, certain rights should never be taken away.
That's the whole point of prison.
Of course, some rights should be taken away.
You think that in prison you have the right to collectively organize your fellow prisoners in a protest against the warden?
You're not allowed to go outside.
You're not allowed to say certain things.
The whole idea of prison is the limitation of rights.
The whole idea of serving your debt to society is restricting your freedoms and your liberties.
But this bill would say that the Boston bomber should be allowed to vote.
This would authorize the Internal Revenue Service to engage in very partisan activities.
HR1 would permit the IRS to investigate and consider the political and policy positions of nonprofit organizations before granting them tax-exempt status, thus enabling IRS officials to target organizations engaging in First Amendment activity with disfavored views.
HR1 would limit access to federal courts for anyone challenging HR1.
Wow.
Just not only are we going to say this is the right thing, but if you dare challenge us, we're going to come after you.
The bill would prohibit the filing of any lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of HR1 anywhere except in the district court for D.C. and would allow the court to order all plaintiffs and interveners, regardless of their number, to, quote, file joint papers or be represented by a single attorney or oral argument.
It would establish a commission, keeps getting better, to protect Democrat institutions, basically creating an entire new judicial system.
It would mandate that all new congressional districts include illegal aliens in the redrawing of congressional districts.
Mandate it.
You would have a federal law that says you must include non-citizens in your tally.
We have some sound here of them commenting on HR1 from MSNBC for the People Act.
Play tape.
We are seeing an avalanche of voter suppression laws coming out of Republican legislatures, not just in purple states, but in red states like Montana and like in Missouri.
They're proposing them in blue states, but obviously they won't advance in blue states.
What HR1 will do is set a minimum standard for everyone to have a right to vote.
It will make sure everyone has a right to cast an absolute ballot.
Everyone has a right to vote early in person.
Everyone has a right to vote on election day.
And everyone has a right to have their ballots counted.
And so it will do tremendous good there while also improving election security.
So I certainly hope Congress passes the law.
All right.
Who is this guy?
And seriously, who is it?
This guy's an absolute fool.
He should never be allowed on television.
He deserves to be on MSNBC.
He says this, and it's this typical trick that they use.
It's sophistry.
If you don't know what a sophist is, it was a, back in Greek times, it was someone who was engaged in the art of oral deception, someone who took an argument and intentionally tried to form using charisma and nice soundbites to try and persuade people.
He's a sophist.
And so he goes through and he says, this will ensure everyone has the right to vote.
This will ensure that everyone has a right to vote early.
And I think to myself, how is that not already the case?
So he's almost convincing you based on what he's saying, as if the given is it's not the case.
That somehow there is a list of people that are not allowed to vote, except it might be felons.
We've already been through that.
And this is what really bothers me.
The way that this HR1 is being framed, Wall Street Journal, I have a lot of respect for the Wall Street Journal.
Do you know how they call it, you know what they call this bill?
The voting rights bill.
That's how they describe it.
Voting rights bill that grants illegals to potentially vote, that would automatically register everyone, that would weaponize the IRS.
We went through the whole list.
Bureau of Prisons, Election Commission, expanded regulatory action.
I'm seeing a lot of disturbing things come out of the Wall Street Journal lately.
I'm reading right next to the article, it says, black and Latinx owned businesses.
Since one is the Wall Street Journal calling people Latinx.
I don't even know where that came from.
Someone said it on campus.
Remember when that guy said it?
It was so strange.
That's how I know the woke invasion is continuing.
Wall Street Journal, voting rights bill gets pushed.
House Democrats were set to pass legislation last Wednesday aimed at widening voter participation and curbing the role of big donors in political contests in an attempt to muscle through expanded federal rules for elections over Republican opposition.
That is not at all what the bill is about.
That is not the essence of the bill.
Thankfully, Kirsten Sinneman and Joe Manchin will probably end the future of this bill.
Thank goodness.
Terry Sewell says: We know that our democracy works best when everyone can participate fully.
We also know that voter suppression is alive and well.
The only voter suppression I know about is that of conservatives.
The only voter suppression I know about is conservative counties not getting Zuckerberg Zuckerbox money.
The only voter suppression I know about is Democrat attempts through social media interference and mass media to interfere with Republicans being able to consume information.
Can anyone show me one example of any human being that had a difficulty voting?
We now have voting month in our country.
And this lunatic on MSNBC says, well, we need to make it that everyone can vote because that's not currently the case.
If you wish to vote, which is a right not to vote in our country, we're not Australia.
We're not going to sanction you.
It is so unbelievably easy to vote.
In fact, people will wait longer in a Dunkin' Donuts line to get an iced coffee than it takes to vote.
They say, well, it requires an ID.
Yes, we'd like to verify it's actually you.
By the way, this would mandate the allowance of ballot harvesting and vote harvesting.
With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models like the Pacifica, X-T5, Fiat, and Kia, it's now impossible to stock all the parts you need for your car in a traditional chain storefront.
Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questions and wait while the counterman orders all the parts on his computer, choosing only the ones that his warehouse happens to carry?
Well, you can have computers with access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that you can then use for other important things like mortgages or food.
Why would you choose to spend 30, 50, or 100% more of the exact same auto parts at a chain store or on a new car dealership?
Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
Rockauto.com's prices are the same for every single person and they're reliably low.
Rockauto.com always offers the lowest price possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will do like airlines.
Rockauto.com is for everybody and does not require membership or an account login.
Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for over 20 years.
Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
The rockauto.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy to navigate.
Quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brands specifically and also for the prices you prefer.
So go to rockauto.com and see all the parts available for your car or truck.
Write Charlie Kirk in there.
How did you hear from us section so they know that we sent you.
Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com.
There's instances where the left's ideology is exposed when it comes in direct contradiction with other positions that they have articulated.
Example of this is that Democrats, Joe Biden, they are huge believers in open borders.
For Joe Biden, he believes that there is no distinction, no separation culturally, linguistically between Mexico and the United States.
Basically, Joe Biden's position is: everyone who lives in Mexico, it's basically a suburb of the United States.
You can walk in and out as you please and come in.
So there's hundreds of thousands of people entering the United States, which many of whom will have children, which will become naturalized citizens.
Birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, shouldn't exist.
Happy to go through that at a different time, but that's a different issue for a different time.
However, the Democrats being completely for open borders and also being virus safetyist alarmists, they're completely at odds.
So it's either this virus is an existential threat to the survival of humanity or it isn't.
And so there's two different articles here where it talks about virus alarmism, New York Times, about how the virus is a huge problem, existential once in a hundred year thing.
The U.S. is edging towards normal, alarming some officials.
And then an article from Daily Wire where it shows that the Biden administration is allowing, they call these people migrants.
They're not migrants.
They're border jumpers.
I'm sick of this sort of labeling and this normalization of this.
Ridiculous.
Have tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus.
And the argument is: well, they're fleeing.
Well, of course they're fleeing.
Every country is a mess right now because of the virus and the handling, the lockdown, and the crime and the cartels.
Is it the United States of America more responsibility to accept people in Central America?
The answer is, of course not.
It's not good for those countries.
It's not good for our country.
However, the Biden administration arguing that the virus is the worst thing that could possibly happen.
I'm not diminishing the virus.
I'm saying the way we've handled it is immature, awful, and has created more problems.
But for certain people, it is an absolutely legitimate threat, and you should handle it as such.
Handle it with wisdom, not with alarmism.
But the Biden administration has released 108 migrants, or they call them migrants, 108 people into the interior of the United States after they tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus.
They test positive for the Chinese coronavirus after being released into the United States by Border Patrol.
They test positive and they say, have a good life.
Go infect the people of Brownsville.
Go infect the people of Tucson.
Go infect the people of San Diego.
So you want to stop the spread, Joe Biden?
How about you stop people coming into our country that have the Chinese coronavirus?
And so this is a moment where the Democrats are advocating for two completely contradictory public policy positions.
We must do everything we possibly can to stop the spread of the Chinese coronavirus, including locking down churches, locking down restaurants, and closing schools.
Joe Biden believes in closed schools and open borders, where our children can't go to school.
But by the way, if you want your child back in school, I have a way that you could do that.
Here's how you can get your child back in school: fly to Monterey, hike with your child for 100 miles, illegally cross into the United States, leave your child unaccompanied, and then that child will be in a detention center, but he'll be back in school or she will be back in school.
Joe Biden stands for closed schools and open borders.
