We're on Monday now, so we have a bunch of breakouts.
And then coming in just about an hour and a half, we have James O'Keefe restarting general session, our Salem Radio Network colleague, Dr. Sebastian Gork.
I heard Dennis Prager give a phenomenal speech yesterday.
I heard that too.
I wasn't able to catch it.
Is right, Connor?
People told me it was unbelievable.
Tucker Carlson and I kicked off the event.
Jesse Waters is today.
We also have an amazing panel that we're going to post on our Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
We have a couple of things where I'm not even involved in directly.
I'm involved, obviously, but we're just going to post, and I'm going to do an intro.
The Election Integrity Panel, I think, is one of them with Biggs, Gosar, and Kyle Becker.
Yeah, and well, there was also the Arizona Election Integrity Panels.
Alex Marlowe, who's going to be joining Charlie for the second half of this hour, was, I mean, you know, he was phenomenal.
Just approached it like a journalist, asked a bunch of questions that we all thought about, right?
So if you guys are curious what happened in Arizona with the audit and where they're going from going from now into the future, you're going to want to check that out as well.
Yeah, and we also had a phenomenal conversation with James Lindsay and Alex Marlowe that we are going to post on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast that you guys can find on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast feed around critical race theory, wokeism, diversity, equity, inclusion.
Pretty amazing.
It was one of the most substantive conversations.
And James Lindsay said, queer theory is the gateway to hell.
I was like, you're the liberal on this panel?
It was pretty amazing.
We also have today.
We should explain what queer theory is, though, just for those listening.
It's sort of like the dissolution of standards and of the essence of what humans actually are.
Right.
So, anyways, it's just, I thought I'd put that disclaimer out there.
Well, yeah, I think that's important.
So, then we also have Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.
We also had a very interesting conversation.
Is it Congressman or Congresswoman?
I like Congresswoman and Congressman.
I think gender rules matter.
Me too.
Congresswoman Kat Kamek.
We also have a very special guest later today, Kyle Rittenhouse, which we're excited about.
Jack Pesobic.
Allegedly.
And then we have Jack Pesobic and then Ted Cruz.
And then tomorrow, it continues at a half day.
Jack Hibbs opening us up.
And we have Jack Hibbs from Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills.
And then, let me see here.
We also have Brandon Tatum, Congressman Madison Cawthorne, and Kaylee McEnany.
So it's been a pretty incredible conference, wouldn't you say, Andrew?
Man, like I said, I started this off saying, I mean, how many have we done together now at these conferences?
I don't even know.
You've been around for about four years, so at least 16 majors.
About four majors a year, right?
We have women's, we have SAS.
Well, there's also Young Latino Leadership Summits.
The high school SAS run, and then the winter.
So at least 15 majors.
I mean, yeah.
When I mean by major, I mean multi-day CNN, New York Times, everyone wants in like huge pressure.
You're up at 5 a.m.
You go to bed at 1 a.m.
Plus all of the on the on the action side, turning point action with the Trump rally in 2020.
The one that's 2020.
2021.
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean, and this, this by far is the most special.
It's been, it's, it's been weirdly smooth.
I think we're finally figuring out how to do this.
Exactly.
Knocking on wood, everybody.
But it's phenomenal.
And by the way, the headlines from some of the coverage that we've been seeing, I think people are taken aback, Charlie, at the focus that people like you and Tucker, but a lot of the other speakers have put on social issues.
Well, yeah, and they call it social issues.
And I think they do that to try, I don't know what their motivation is, social issues.
What really is family-focused issues and parent-focused issues, right?
I mean, this is not a matter of social versus fiscal.
I think it's bad for the family that you have runaway inflation.
I think it's bad for the family that you have borders wide open, right?
I think it's a family-focused agenda and a parent-first agenda.
And I think it's really exciting.
Okay, so we do want to get to some news.
And everyone, you can email us your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
By the way, there's over 10,000 people here, folks.
I mean, it's a massive.
Well, we have 10,000 tickets sold.
We always want to be precise.
The room can fit about 8,000, and every seat is full, and we have overflow.
So the final count was well over 10,000 tickets.
But unbelievable.
That being said, you can still come and people come in and out so that you can find out.
Yeah, there's flow.
I mean, there's some people who left because they only came for a couple of days.
Yeah, so definitely still opportunities, especially if you're local or want to catch a speaker today or tomorrow.
I mean, we're ending the whole thing with Kaylee McEnany.
I mean, like, you know, she's anchoring.
Tomorrow is an epic day.
So we have Jack Hibbs, Brandon Tatum, Madison Cawthorne, Kaylee, and then I'm going to close it out.
So we stacked the half day.
I think it's pretty cool.
And Fox has been amazing, by the way.
Fox Nation has been really, really great, a terrific partner.
Okay, so Andrew, over the weekend, it seems like President Joe Manchin decided to thwart the entire legislative agenda.
I mean, the non-octogenarian.
I don't even actually know what his age is.
I think he's about 79.
I think he's super old, right, Connor?
Joe Manchin is?
Yeah, true.
Now we have to say that.
He's super old.
I mean, I don't want to.
74.
All right.
Well, listen.
Again, that's not super old for all the listeners out there.
Don't get offended.
But Joe Manchin looks about 55.
Yeah, he looks a lot.
He looks like 58, 60.
That's what I'm saying.
He's a lot more spry.
And I think this is a really fascinating story because, you know, I'm just here to watch it.
I'm just here.
I'm here for it.
You know, The drama in the ranks of the Democrat Party took, I mean, went to another level.
I mean, we've been predicting this Democrat Civil War for a long time, and remarkably, they've stayed relatively together, mainly because Pelosi's a tyrant.
We have to remember, though, that Biden got the stimulus package passed early in the spring, which was just kind of like, okay, whatever.
Then the infrastructure, and now you have Build Back Better that got eliminated.
But we have a much more cynical take, which we think Build Back Better was dead on arrival for quite some time.
And all of this melodrama is trying to point towards the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
That's really what they want to get after, right?
Is the John Lewis Voting Rights Act?
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, you covered this extensively, but it's a for people who don't know, it's a backdoor, it's an end-around, basically criminalizing anytime a state wants to enforce election integrity or signature verify.
They're just going to call it racist.
Then the Fed's going to say you can't have that law and they get what they want anyway.
Totally.
And so we're going to go through exactly what this means for the state of affairs in D.C. We're going to play some tape.
We're going to go through all of that.
The Democrat Civil War Is Here 00:04:47
Look, stocks are at all-time high.
People are saying things are going well, but you know, they aren't.
Interest rates are at zero, and the government just printed $5 trillion.
What could possibly go wrong?
Consumer confidence just hit a 10-year low and inflation hit 6.8%, with parts of the United States seeing rates as high as 8%.
Something is not adding up.
Inflation is here, everybody, and you've got to do something about it.
Put some of your assets into precious metals, and it will keep your money away from the volatility markets and inflation to let you sleep at night.

This is Christmas week.
Merry Christmas to everybody.
And I know a lot of people during Christmas are going to be traveling and going to be driving and a lot of people on flights.
And so if you're looking for really exciting content, family-friendly content, the Charlie Kirk show is there.
And there is some that my Andrew, my private conversation with Tucker Carlson.
It's deep waters, is all I can say.
I mean, the thing that you realize when you hang out with Tucker, sort of, you know, when he's not on screen or something like that, is that the man spends hours deeply thinking about what really matters.
I mean, that's literally, he's devoted himself to only basically thinking about his family, his wife, his kids.
You know, he flew here in the morning and then flew back at night just so he could be back with his family.
The man is absolutely devoted to his family and he thinks about what matters, like I said.
And it's really, you just see it with how profound some of his thinking is.
And he always, he sort of says, oh, I don't have a very, you know, I'm not that smart.
And these people are much smarter than me.
And it's like, you know, you hang out with him for a little while and you're like, I don't know why you're saying, maybe that's what smart people say that you're not that smart because he's incredibly profound.
Well, so you'll be able to check out the whole conversation with Tucker Carlson on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
Okay, so over the weekend, let's just kind of get right into it.
Joe Manchin surprisingly went on Fox News.
It was Chris Wallace's old show.
Is that right?
Yep.
Was he still hosting it or not?
He's done.
I think he was done.
I actually, let's let's so busy at our America Fest.
We heard about it.
I heard about it, but do we actually have the clip from Manchin?
Yeah, we should do.
Here it is.
Okay, it's Cut 15.
Yes.
I think it was on Chris Wallace's show with a substitute host, and he didn't tell Joe Biden ahead of time he was doing this, and he announced he will not be voting for Build Back Better, torpedoing the bill.
Biden tried to call Joe Manchin and get him off the on the phone, did so unsuccessfully.
Play cut 15.
I can't vote for it, and I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation.
I just can't.
I've tried everything humanly possible.
I can't get there.
You're done.
This is this is a no.
This is a no.
Brett Bears, and that was Brett Baer, who's a great guy, and he's been a good friend of our show and really factual.
Zeroes in on this: hold on a second.
So you're a no.
He says, I'm a no.
And with that, Biden's legislative agenda, domestic legislative agenda, basically is in total turmoil.
Yeah, it's it's uh the memes are pretty phenomenal to see.
Uh, it seems dead now.
Okay, Politico had an interesting piece on this.
So basically, Politico, uh, the reason I read this is because there's a specific quote in it that I think a lot of our listeners are going to get a lot of enjoyment out of.
It says, a blow to Democrat Party governance.
After this year, Democrats are unlikely to control the White House and all of Congress for a long, long time.
I added that second long, but it's true.
And Politico's whole point was: is it really dead?
So, what's happening now, Schumer is that basically the White House issues this scathing statement against Manchin.
AOC, Ilhan Omar, went on a profanity-lace tirade.
And we're going to play that.
Yeah, we should.
So, AOC went after him on Morning Joe this morning.
Ilhan Omar, profanity-laced tirade.
And then the White House issues the scathing statement against him.
And now, Schumer has the gall to suggest that it's not dead, and we're going to vote on it in January and all this.
It's dead, folks.
It's dead.
And even if they do scale it way back, is it really even build back better?
That's the question.
I mean, if they scale it all the way back, their child tax credits, their climate stuff, all of this, the spending that again was full of gimmicks and accounting tricks.
I mean, this thing is way more expensive than they're letting on.
Destroying Our Values in West Virginia 00:13:34
And Joe Manchin, good for him.
He called their bluff.
The reality is this: the Democrat Civil War is here.
Their numbers are underwater.
And they thought the infrastructure package was going to give them a significant lift.
They thought the infrastructure package was going to get them out of the depths of bad polling and unpopularity.
And the opposite has occurred.
Look, on a daily basis, conservative men are being inundated with garbage.
All these ads about overpriced boxers or these slick ad campaigns, it's nonsense.
I, speaking, like to keep it private, but I'm happy to tell you about a wonderful company.
These people are terrific.
In fact, producer Andrew, big fan of this company, UnderTech, U-N-D-E-R-T-A-C, the only men's basic brand that is unapologetically Christian, pro-American, pro-military, and very proudly Second Amendment.
They put comfort and functionality first by integrating a quick release fly and secret pocket in the extra wide waistband for cash or tactical necessities.
They're also anti-bacterial, anti-pilling, and moisture-wicking fabric is super soft and comfortable.
Under tech is durable, fade-resistant, shrink-resistant, and ultra-lightweight.
And here's the best part: they're 30% less expensive than the competition.

Producer Andrew went to go continue his training for the Iron Man, thanks to ReliefFactor.com.
And so he's gone.
And in fact, for all of you at home, an Iron Man is 120 miles on a bike, 26.2 running, and two and a half miles swimming.
And producer Andrew's able to do that thanks to ReliefFactor.com.
So he's gone.
So with us now is Alex Marlow from Breitbart.com.
Hey, Alex, how you doing?
Charlie, I'm in pretty good shape.
And I think two or three laps in my pool, and that's it.
You're done.
That's a matter of time.
Swimming is really hard.
It's really hard.
It's really hard.
Like it's for a lot of different reasons.
It's the, but I got the, I got my three-year-old.
He's in swimming lessons now.
And so we got, we play Humpty Dumpty.
So, and that's you do Humpty Dumpty sat in a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, falls in, dunks his head.
It's fun, immersion in the water, and you're having a blast and no calorie burn for dad.
So it's really good.
The event's been great, hasn't it?
It's been incredible.
Congratulations to you.
Definitely the best ever.
And I think this is pretty much the premier conservative event now in the country.
So congrats on that.
Thank you for saying that.
Smoothly run.
But it's a, you know, I've been talking a lot about you, Charlie, because everyone is impressed with just the energy that you bring to the movement.
And it's really inspiring because you've taken a lot of crap, shall we say, from people, and you always keep going bigger and better.
So it's a great, it's a great example.
We try to be magnanimous.
And the funny thing is, I really don't think about the nonsense that people throw at me.
I forget.
But that's the message because we now know how it's clearly the haters are doing it just to try to hold people back who don't agree with them ideologically.
That's what it's all about.
Everything is political now with the left.
All the haters are purely rooted in their politics.
And you're only taking flack if you're over the target.
And that's how we felt at Breitbart.
And it's just ignoring them and moving ahead is the way to go.
And then now you guys are the biggest draw in the whole movement.
So congrats.
Thank you.
You could build things or destroy things.
So we're talking about destroying things.
Let's actually play the tape we wanted to play, which is a good form of destruction.
You see, the people that are puritanical market types, they talk about creative destruction.
And you and I love markets, but we think not all destruction is made equal, but the destruction of Build Back Better is a beautiful thing.
Yes, it sure is.
And so let's play the tape of Bernie Sanders, Elon Omar, Ayanna Presley, Corey Bush.
They're all freaking out over Joe Manchin's move.
Swear words are bleeped out for the FCC play cut 10.
But if he doesn't have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of West Virginia and America, let him vote no in front of the whole world.
We all knew that Senator Manchin couldn't be trusted.
You know, the excuses that he just made, I think, are complete.
He has continued to move the goalpost.
He has never negotiated in good faith.
And he is obstructing the president's agenda.
AJ, all I want for Christmas is a senator that has compassion for the American people and not contempt.
I'm going to be looking for the phone number to the ghost of Christmas, past, present, and future, or the email address to see if they can go and see about Scrooge on Christmas Eve.
I'm sorry, not Scrooge, Senator Matt.
I know what you're talking about.
Alex?
It's just, it's so delightful because it's so stupid.
It's such a horrible strategy.
I've met Sander Manchin.
I think he's the only Democrat senator who's ever been on my radio program, which, by the way, is a podcast now.
Breitbart News Daily Podcast Daily.
Thank you for the free plug.
Well, you've let me plug our podcast on you.
Quite a bit, and I will in the future as well.
I think it's a big, growing ecosystem.
We want self-reinforcing growth.
But I've met Senator Manchin.
Senior Manchin is not, this is not going to change his mind.
A bunch of people ranting on left-wing talk radio and the money.
And I think it pardons his position.
Of course it does.
Of course it does.
So I love to see it.
Not only is it great fodder for talk radio, but it's also going to hurt the left-wing agenda.
But it is amazing how Biden's failures are just piling up at such a rapid rate, Charlie.
I know you were no Biden fan coming in, but it is surreal to watch every single thing.
He didn't stop the virus.
He didn't bring the unity to the country.
He bought the Afghanistan pullout, the Bidenflation, the gas prices, the border surge.
I mean, it's a every one of those could bring down a presidency.
Every one of them would be the scandal of the year for a normal president.
So let me ask you, Alex, you're really smart.
Breitbart.com.
Love it.
I read it every day.
Thank you.
Why is Biden not changing his approach or adjusting in real time?
I would say the most likely answer might be incompetence, but there's something scarier that I want to offer up, which is that he doesn't see it as a failure, that the left wing, which is in charge of this administration, is trying to destroy the country and they are trying to destroy our values.
And not to say they want to destroy it, like literally destroy it, destroy it, but erase America's founding, erase America's Judeo-Christian constitutional Declaration of Independence value system, e plurbusonum, in God we trust, liberty, First Amendment, Second Amendment, erase all that stuff and replace it with this sort of woke religion that we have now.
And all of this stuff moves us closer in that direction, the unsustainable debt.
And I'm not a debt hawk.
I'm not a deficit hawk, but it's unsustainable right now.
That we are at 30 trillion and the solution is we're going to spend 4 trillion more.
Of course, it doesn't make sense.
The gas prices are going to destroy the energy sector.
Us losing our standing on the world stage with regards to China and Russia and the oil crisis that we've got going.
All of this moves the country away from the America that you and I believe in and love and towards this sort of command and control plutocracy where an oligarchical class controls us with their woke religion.
And I think that is all happening.
Unfortunately, Biden has been a success in that regard.
Yeah, that's the true division in America is the disagreement on how to process objective reality.
This is the divide.
People say, oh, we're so divided politically.
Well, the way we used to be divided is we would both process reality the same way and have different ways to try to go about solving.
Low taxes, high-tech, whatever, right?
Now it's a wonderful success, Alex.
The border is as great as ever, and it's exactly what we want.
And so it's not a matter of even finding differences of opinion.
It's now complete differences of, well, do you even consider the same goal the same sort of America that you want to live in?
And the real question is, is this all by design?
I say yes, obviously.
We're unafraid to say that.
A lot of moderate kind of people on television say, well, you know, this is, he's so incompetent.
Okay, the people around him aren't, though.
I don't think Ron Klain is incompetent.
No, he's not.
And then Ron Klain's super smart, actually.
He is.
I think Ron Klain looks at this presidency.
I've called it on air, the kamikaze presidency, a means to the end.
It's very Machiavelli.
So you and I are on the same page.
And it is clear that they're not worrying about consistency.
You know, it's interesting, Charlie, that my talk with you yesterday at your conference, I had an example that I wanted to bring up that I did want to bring up because I didn't want to jeopardize your nonprofit status.
You can say whatever you want now.
Now I can't because Ron Regina.
I gave you that shakedown.
Stay within C3 guidelines, USA.
For all of you watching the stupid Treasury Department.
Yeah, I know, and I try to be respectful of it.
But I was thinking about how Joe Biden is now the spokesman against, he's the anti-racist spokesman, a guy who thought that busing would create a racial jungle and opposed it vigorously.
A guy who called black children roaches in 2017.
And this is now the guy who's a good person.
These are the career enders for you and I.
We wouldn't allow it to destroy a career.
Charlie, I couldn't show up at a family dinner if I called black children roaches.
And Joe Biden is president.
He just acts like the media acts like it never happened.
And now he's going to be the spokesperson for race relations.
It's so patently absurd.
It does make you think, wait a minute, they know it's absurd.
It's just they got to him.
They got to him.
I want to play more tape.
So Biden's legislative agenda to continue the deterioration and destruction of the American dollar and to achieve really the goal of Barack Hussein Obama is really kind of being played out this year.
Sure.
Barack, you could say a lot of things about Barack Obama, but I will say that Barack Obama was far more timid than Biden.
I know that sounds strange for people to hear, but Obama could have been far more radical.
Biden's showing us how radical you can actually be and how quick you can act.
Okay.
And so the fundamental transformation of America that Obama promised in 2007 while running for president, right before he, no, 2008, I'm sorry, 2008 before becoming running for president is playing out.
Okay, so let's play some tape here.
Let's play this one.
It is AOC says the idea that Manchin can't sell Build Back Better to West Virginia voters is a total farce.
Play cut eight.
The idea that Joe Manchin says he can't explain this back home to his people is a farce.
I mean, it's a farce in terms of, you know, plain democracy because I represent more or just as many or more people than Joe Manchin does.
Perhaps more.
You hear that?
She's more important than Joe Manchin because she represents a bunch of foreign nationals and super angry single 32-year-old women that went to NYU.
Is that not a perfect illustration of my point?
She doesn't like the Electoral College.
That's the attack on the Electoral College.
That's a tax.
That's to destroy the state sovereignty.
Of course.
She doesn't like state sovereignty.
She doesn't like federalism.
Charlie, of course.
It's all anti-federalism.
The whole agenda is anti-federalism with the mandate, with the energy policy, with all of these things are designed to limit the role of the states in American life.
So Joe Manchin is a Democrat in name only.
I think he's more of like a dino at this point.
And in that point, though, he is a protector of state sovereignty and states' rights.
Sure.
And he does believe in a federal project.
And so this tape right here, cut nine, shows that Joe Manchin is actually listening to his voters.
Play cut nine.
Joe Biden is currently polling at 65% disapproval in West Virginia.
That's the state that Manchin represents.
Three-quarters of people living in that state oppose the Build Back Better bill.
Add it all up.
And Manchin is simply using common sense here.
He's listening to his voters, Alex, and he's just saying, okay, I am a representative, an extension of citizen sovereignty.
And I really don't care what AOC is.
And I think this is exactly what we were talking about with Corey Bush and Ilhan Omar swearing at him.
Of course, it doesn't convince him, but they're fine with that too, because I do think the AOCs and Ilhan Omars and the Corey Bushes are much more comfortable being in the victim role where they're the victim of Joe Manchin.
The white man who likes coal.
Yeah, exactly.
The white coal guy.
Exactly.
The white coal man.
I bet he likes football.
I bet he likes boating.
I mean, there's all these things.
He owns a gun.
Yeah, maybe at least one.
And it's one of those things that they are more comfortable not setting the agenda there because then they actually have to own something.
They don't want to own anything.
They want to be ideological.
They want to be pundits on social media.
That's what they enjoy.
Not actually legislating.
I don't know if AOC's ever been to West Virginia.
Obviously not.
If it was her choice, West Virginia wouldn't be part of the same country she wants to live in, which does beg a bigger and broader question, actually, about are they even representing the same country at some point, right?
Yes.
And I think that is, unfortunately, the thing we have to contemplate is that is West Virginia and the Bronx, at least politically speaking, is it reconcilable at this point?
Because I'll tell you, AOC doesn't think so.
I want it to be reconcilable.
Me too.
I think a schism and a breakup would be tragic.
And I think it would be bad for the country, obviously bad for the world.
But it seems that they're getting closer and closer towards that sort of action.
But the fact that not one of these squad members, none of them will be reasonable, not one of them will come out and say, you know what?
No, they're pathological.
We get it.
We get it.
It's West Virginia.
His voters don't like it.
Political Consequences of a Schism 00:06:33
It's a, you know, we got 30 trillion in debt, and some people don't want to spend $4 trillion more.
Like, it's the, look, that's an issue that we have, and that's why people should vote for Democrats.
And not one of them will say that.
They just complain a random rave.
Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
Well, that's mypillow.com.
And it's promo code Charlie, actually.
It's a great special.

What I want to find out is I want when Republicans take back the House of Representatives, I want every influencer and media member that received money from the CDC to promote the vaccine.
Because we don't even, we're only touching the surface of the billions of dollars that were paid to promote the vaccine.
You know what's interesting, Charlie?
I don't trust the science, but I do trust Stephen Colbert and the CAS of SNL and the cast.
There's no way that wasn't paid of Sesame Street.
I mean, like, that's who I trust for my medical information.
Yeah, that's a, hey, that's a, that's what I look for.
By the way, Charlie, we're at your event here.
James O'Keefe just rolled in like Manny Pacquiao with an entourage of 30 people.
He comes in.
He's going to run for Philippines president.
Yeah, this too.
The Welterweight champion.
Philippines presidents don't have a good track record the last 50 years.
No, not great.
Yeah, at least, you know, from our coverage of Breitbart, it doesn't look like it.
Yeah, especially in the, what was it, the 90s where that guy just vanished with all that, with like $2 trillion worth of assets, basically.
It's a good move.
What was his name?
It was a huge scandal.
It was all the gold from like the ancestral island families.
Wow.
What was that guy's name?
How do you wash that, though?
Like, if you steal all the gold, I mean, that seems hard to launder.
I bet there's some royal family that needs hard assets.
Pretty sure, Andrew, will you look up how to clean trillions of dollars worth of gold, please?
You know what it would be?
It would be like the international version of Ozark.
Yeah.
It'd be like the Philippine version of Ozark.
There's a new episode of Ozark coming out, or new season, I should say.
Okay, email us your thoughts, everybody.

There's so much we want to get to.
But let's close on the build back better thing.
So, Alex, Democrat agendas and turmoil.
Obviously, this has political consequences.
How could Republicans possibly screw this up heading into the midterms?
That's a realistic question.
Yeah, I don't think they will.
What I'm more concerned about is will they disappoint when they get in?
Because I've been asking, I've been interviewing a lot of Congress people since I've been here at AmericaFest.
And a lot of them, everyone's fired up.
Everyone's very excited, but they're divided, I think, on what to do other than investigations.
Well, I think investigations need to be the stubbornness of the beginning and end of this.
I don't think there's anything else that we can get done that's realistic.
Right, because Biden's going to have the veto pen or whoever is president at the time.
They're going to have the veto pen.
So it is about investigations, and you got to start with Fauci, I think.
You got to start with these deep staters who are treating American parents like terrorists.
I think you have, but you got to start letting the agenda be known that there will be a massive house cleaning once the Republican wins in 2024, whoever it is.
And, you know, they're going to be the frontrunner to win.
Cheap by mail and big tack or is going to try to stop that.
But it is, there needs to be a massive house cleaning in this country in Washington.
And by the way, we need to unswampify Washington by moving these bureaucracies out of the beltway.
They have to go.
They have to get out and into America right away also.
I totally agree.
And the question is, what investigations and are they willing to use subpoena power?
So that's the other question.
And they always disappoint in this regard, and they always take forever.
Where's Durham, by the way?
Where's my Durham?
Where's my Durham?
Do you know where he is?
We got some, what was that guy's name that we indicted?
Igor something.
Yeah, that's good.
It gave us some hope, but where is he?
He's been gone for a long time.
One of the great abuses of power that we've ever seen in our country's history.
Yeah, and we got how many years we have to wait for people to get held accountable.
Well, the lag time is intentional, though, because then the jury isn't as animated to try to get to guilty verdicts and people kind of forget it.
You know what I mean?
Meaning, like there's one thing where there's like the George Floyd thing, if they would have waited three years, I'm not as so sure they would be able, not to say the facts and circumstances would change, but it's just they want to try to draw things out.
Yes.
And if necessary, use Biden to pardon these people.
100%.
And the momentum and the emotions that get involved in news cycles really do propel change.
And that is we do have a country that is representative and it is the more the people are fired up, the more things do change.
So it is the left is very good at harnessing their energy.
And that's what I was complimenting you about earlier, too.
We need to harness the energy of the base and they're fired up to investigate people right now.
That's what they want to do.
One of the things we're proud of at Turning Point USA from an educational and cultural side, down a political side, is that we've been able to make the case for nationalism and conservatism and populism, all in a positive way, because those words have negative connotations.
In an aesthetically pleasing, in a magnanimous, and really kind of all-encompassing way, where people then want to be part of that, right?
It's not like the conservative movement that you grew up in with charts and graphs and, you know, talking about why Nixon wasn't.
You know, the thing that even though the backbone of what we do at Breitbart and on the Breitbart News Daily podcast is talk about the news, I'm always most heartened when people tell me they had a good time going to the front page or listening to the show every day because I think that that is what is going to give us longevity.
