=== Taking Back The House (07:46) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, Lauren Bobert.
[00:00:03]  We talk about Colorado.
[00:00:04]  We talk about forest fires.
[00:00:06]  We talk about a lot of different things.

[00:00:33]  Lauren Boebert is here.
[00:00:34]  Buckle up, everybody.
[00:00:35]  Here we go.
[00:00:36]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:38]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:40]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:43]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:46]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:47]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:48]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:00:50]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:00:56]  Turning point USA.
[00:00:57]  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.
[00:01:06]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:08]  Brought to you by my friends, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, 888, 888 1172 or AndrewNTodd.com.
[00:01:18]  Hey, everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:01:20]  With us is an amazing member of Congress from Colorado.
[00:01:23]  Lauren Bobert, how are you?
[00:01:25]  I'm doing great, Charlie.
[00:01:26]  This is spectacular.
[00:01:28]  Thank you.
[00:01:29]  Thank you for all that you do.
[00:01:30]  You know, I hear all the time: what are Republicans doing?
[00:01:34]  We don't have control.
[00:01:36]  Sorry, I don't want to just jump in and take over your narrative.
[00:01:38]  I love it.
[00:01:38]  I love listening.
[00:01:41]  So we don't have the control of the floor schedule.
[00:01:44]  Nancy Pelosi controls that.
[00:01:46]  So we can't pass our legislation.
[00:01:47]  We can only sign on to Democrat bills.
[00:01:50]  So I hear what are Republicans doing to stop all this stuff that's going on.
[00:01:53]  Charlie, you're doing it.
[00:01:55]  This is what we're doing.
[00:01:56]  It we are getting the youth, the younger generations involved and engaged, and so much more.
[00:02:02]  There is so much diversity here right now.
[00:02:05]  10,000 people here to proclaim their love for America and say they will do whatever it takes to defend freedom.
[00:02:12]  Thank you.
[00:02:13]  Thank you.
[00:02:13]  And you're a big part of that.
[00:02:14]  A lot of people are excited to hear from you.
[00:02:17]  We always do these interviews, almost always do the interviews before speakers take the stage.
[00:02:20]  So it's really fun for our audience to know that.
[00:02:22]  And you're a fan favorite.
[00:02:23]  You spoke at our women's summit.
[00:02:24]  Yes.
[00:02:24]  And people were really excited about that.
[00:02:26]  So where do I start?
[00:02:28]  That was a nice Christmas photo your family took.
[00:02:31]  Yes.
[00:02:32]  You know, it's funny.
[00:02:32]  Those are just 22s.
[00:02:34]  And you couldn't, you could barely kill a rabbit with a 22.
[00:02:39]  Maybe I'm misremembering the picture.
[00:02:40]  They looked a little bit AR-15 or something.
[00:02:43]  Yes, an AR-15 style, yes.
[00:02:44]  But no, those are 22s.
[00:02:46]  And it's amazing, but it's just easy for them to handle and to get them shooting accurately.
[00:02:52]  You know, not a lot of kick.
[00:02:53]  And 22 is much more dangerous than the congresswoman has military assault rifles with her children.
[00:03:01]  And so that was kind of off of the Thomas Massey thing.
[00:03:03]  Right.
[00:03:04]  Yes.
[00:03:04]  Actually, he and I were in the cloakroom, you know, going off about, you know, how they were so outraged over his photo.
[00:03:11]  And I said, actually, I have one of those too.
[00:03:13]  I got your six, Massey.
[00:03:14]  That's so funny.
[00:03:16]  So there's so much going on in DC.
[00:03:19]  It must be so frustrating.
[00:03:21]  Did they censure you or did they want to over that whole thing?
[00:03:25]  The Elon Omar thing.
[00:03:26]  I can't keep up with this.
[00:03:27]  That's how little I care.
[00:03:28]  Right.
[00:03:28]  I don't think the Democrats want to spend a week of the House's time talking about Lauren Boebert.
[00:03:35]  And really, because we know we're going to talk about all the things that they've done, all the anti-Semitic rhetoric from Elhan Omar and the squad, the anti-American rhetoric, the police bashing, all of this stuff.
[00:03:48]  And they don't want a week of that.
[00:03:50]  So, no, there was no censure.
[00:03:53]  I still have my committee assignments.
[00:03:54]  I'm hoping to get more committee assignments.
[00:03:57]  And so, you know, things are still rolling along.
[00:04:00]  We did vote on the Islamophobia bill.
[00:04:02]  What was that?
[00:04:04]  So actually, one of the authors of the bill is Ilhan Omar, and she wants to create a new department in the State Department to monitor Islamophobia.
[00:04:16]  And she didn't define what Islamophobia is.
[00:04:17]  Yeah, what is Islamophobia?
[00:04:19]  She didn't define it.
[00:04:20]  And, you know, perhaps I would have been more of a lean yes if she would have like went in to define it.
[00:04:25]  Maybe if we could say Islamophobia is not condemning someone from marrying their brother to commit immigration fraud to come into our country.
[00:04:33]  You know, I could have been a lean yes if we would have had that definition in there, but it wasn't there.
[00:04:36]  So yeah, I mean, I have no tolerance for people that were saved by the generosity of the West and then hate our country.
[00:04:43]  Right.
[00:04:44]  I think Elon Omar is one of the most reprehensible, despicable people ever to serve in the U.S. Congress.
[00:04:49]  That says something.
[00:04:50]  We've had some scumbags in the U.S. Congress over the last couple hundred years.
[00:04:54]  But there's just something so profoundly gross where you weren't born here.
[00:04:59]  You were rescued by the value system of the West.
[00:05:02]  Yes.
[00:05:03]  Right.
[00:05:03]  Mogadishu does not exactly, is not really known for its refugee resettlement programs.
[00:05:09]  It's not exactly a Somali value.
[00:05:10]  I don't know what is.
[00:05:12]  And then she comes here and gets resettled, and now she tells us how racist we are, how awful we are, how bigoted we are, how terrible we are.
[00:05:21]  And yeah, I think Trump was exactly right when he said, go back to where you came from, obviously.
[00:05:26]  But yeah, if you don't love it, leave it.
[00:05:27]  Right, exactly.
[00:05:28]  She is living the American dream and despises every aspect of it, except for where it's benefited herself.
[00:05:33]  And she's nasty in every single way.
[00:05:35]  And so I'm glad you've criticized her in more ways than one.
[00:05:38]  We get criticized when we criticize Elon Omar.
[00:05:40]  But I do say, even with some of the left-wing people in my life, they don't like her very much either.
[00:05:47]  She caters to a very, very radical fringe.
[00:05:49]  Very radical.
[00:05:50]  Yes.
[00:05:50]  Her and Rashida Talib and Corey Bush and all those other.
[00:05:55]  Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
[00:06:03]  Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
[00:06:08]  Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
[00:06:14]  Left-wing corporations are subverting our democracy by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
[00:06:26]  You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.

[00:07:28]  So I talked, we just talked to Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor Green.
[00:07:32]  So I'm going to try to talk to you about something that we haven't, things we haven't talked about.
[00:07:35]  Sure.
[00:07:35]  So the best way that I could figure out is what's on your, what's on your mind?
[00:07:38]  What are you talking about the most?
[00:07:40]  And then we can kind of navigate from there.
[00:07:43]  There's a lot that's going on, but I want to get focused on the future.

=== Fighting California Wildfires (04:16) ===

[00:07:47]  And I want to make sure that we don't just take back the house, but we take back the house with conservatives.
[00:07:53]  What kind of majority are we going to have?
[00:07:55]  And so, you know, bringing up Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor Greene, this is exactly in line with that.
[00:08:00]  What kind of people are we going to elect to Congress?
[00:08:03]  Are we going to elect more people who have their political science degree and are lawyers and career politicians and have waited their turn and have been tapped by the establishment?
[00:08:13]  Are we going to elect the go-getters who say, no, I'm principled.
[00:08:16]  I'm not perfect.
[00:08:16]  I'm principled and I'm here to put people first, put people ahead of me and secure the freedoms that we all love so much.
[00:08:24]  And so, I mean, that's definitely top of the ticket.
[00:08:26]  But then just undoing all of the mess that we've seen from the Biden regime.
[00:08:31]  I mean, there's so much to do there.
[00:08:33]  Yeah.
[00:08:33]  So let's say you take back the House, which I think we will.
[00:08:36]  How's it looking in Colorado?
[00:08:37]  Colorado, you know, we picked up a new seat.
[00:08:40]  And so I do believe that that's going to be a toss-up seat and Republicans have an advantage.
[00:08:44]  It's a D2, but with Democrat policies right now, Republicans have an advantage with that.
[00:08:50]  And also, Congressman Ed Perlmutter's seat is kind of in jeopardy right now.
[00:08:55]  He's a Democrat and a Republican may take that.
[00:08:58]  I'm in a pretty good district.
[00:08:59]  I have some rhinos coming after me.
[00:09:02]  But hey, I'm a professional political rhino hunter, so I'll be fine.
[00:09:06]  See some people primaring you?
[00:09:07]  Yes, I do.
[00:09:08]  Yes.
[00:09:09]  What's the tilt of your district?
[00:09:11]  So we are very conservative, agriculture, farming, energy, and forest management is something that I've been pushing heavily, especially with climate change being at the top of every conversation.
[00:09:23]  And look, Charlie, climate change is absolutely real.
[00:09:26]  It happens four times every year.
[00:09:27]  In Colorado, sometimes four times in one day.
[00:09:29]  I was going to say.
[00:09:30]  He's like, wait a second, in the interview right now.
[00:09:32]  No, I mean, it's true.
[00:09:34]  I've been in Denver where it's been like snowing in the morning and then it's like 71 degrees the next morning.
[00:09:41]  Yes.
[00:09:41]  Yes.
[00:09:42]  Well, if we're going to actually go after that narrative and do something that, you know, they want to push electric vehicles, well, carbon emissions is the top of your list.
[00:09:52]  So let's manage our forests.
[00:09:53]  Let's get rid of the 6 billion standing dead trees in the West and actually manage our forests because the wildfires frivolous lawsuits by extreme radical environmentalists.
[00:10:04]  They want a hands-off approach.
[00:10:05]  They don't want us to touch the forest, dead or alive.
[00:10:08]  Yes.
[00:10:08]  They want overgrowth.
[00:10:09]  They want the dead to stay there.
[00:10:10]  We have the pine beetle epidemic that is destroying our forests.
[00:10:16]  There's just so much there and they just don't want to stop.
[00:10:17]  The controlled burns could have stopped a lot of the California forests.
[00:10:20]  Yes, absolutely.
[00:10:21]  Now, in Colorado, did you guys have an air quality problem because of California forest fires?
[00:10:24]  Absolutely.
[00:10:25]  Absolutely.
[00:10:26]  We all choke on California smoke.
[00:10:28]  Yeah, no, I mean, I say this and people laugh.
[00:10:30]  The next governor of Arizona, because Nevada might not, every day that that happens, they should tax California.
[00:10:36]  Yes, you are exactly right.
[00:10:38]  Well, and actually, even in our coal mines and some of our other energy producing areas, our coal mines, they will have to shut down operations because of air quality.
[00:10:49]  And it's not our air quality.
[00:10:50]  It's smoke from California.
[00:10:52]  And they have to shut down their operations.
[00:10:54]  Well, California is the worst when it comes to forest management, no controlled burns.
[00:10:57]  Right.
[00:10:58]  And in every single way.
[00:11:00]  And people that live on the eastern coast of the United States don't know about this very much.
[00:11:04]  Thankfully, in Arizona, for whatever reason, we don't get as much air quality problems for California.
[00:11:08]  There's not as many forest fires in the southern part of the state as there is in the northern part of the state.
[00:11:12]  Northern part of the state is really where most of the forest fires are.
[00:11:15]  But Montana just gets hit every other summer with huge air quality problems.
[00:11:19]  It's a massive issue.
[00:11:21]  And a lot of, I would say 90% of these fires could be managed if it wasn't for the environmentalists.
[00:11:26]  Absolutely.
[00:11:27]  Well, and even in Colorado, we're seeing more wildfires in our state than ever before.
[00:11:31]  Last year, we had three of the largest wildfires we've ever had.
[00:11:33]  All parts of the state.
[00:11:34]  On the western slope where I represented.
[00:11:36]  Durango area?
[00:11:38]  Yes, Durango, Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, all in my district.
[00:11:44]  Is Steamboat considered the Western Slope?
[00:11:46]  It's on the western part of the state.
[00:11:49]  So I kind of call it the Western Slope because I'm from there, but no, it's north.
[00:11:53]  But it's west of the divide.
[00:11:55]  How about that?
[00:11:55]  Got it.
[00:11:56]  Yes.
[00:11:56]  And one day, if I could have my dreams work out just right, maybe right down that continental divide, we could have a Colorado East and a Colorado West.

=== Colorado Springs Fire Crisis (12:12) ===

[00:12:03]  Oh, yeah.
[00:12:03]  You split it in half.
[00:12:05]  Let them hold on to Denver.
[00:12:07]  That's right.
[00:12:08]  And you get the rest.
[00:12:09]  That's right.
[00:12:09]  Denver and Boulder.
[00:12:10]  Yeah.
[00:12:11]  Yes, take it.
[00:12:11]  Take it.
[00:12:12]  Keep Centennial.
[00:12:13]  You guys can keep Colorado Springs, though.
[00:12:15]  It's actually really nice.
[00:12:16]  Is Colorado Springs still conservative?
[00:12:18]  Yes, it is.
[00:12:19]  Yes.
[00:12:19]  Colorado Springs is changing.
[00:12:21]  So Jeffco is.
[00:12:22]  I mean, Jeffco is kind of leaning.
[00:12:24]  What do you mean Jefferson County?
[00:12:26]  Jefferson County?
[00:12:27]  Jefferson County is leaning a little blue.
[00:12:29]  But we have El Paso County that's solid red.
[00:12:32]  Is Colorado Springs in Jefferson County?
[00:12:34]  El Paso.
[00:12:35]  Oh, okay.
[00:12:35]  Yes.
[00:12:36]  Got it.
[00:12:36]  So, but it's all kind of there, right by Colorado Springs.
[00:12:40]  But that's Congressman Doug Glamborn's district, and he'll be fine.
[00:12:46]  And so a lot happening in Colorado.
[00:12:49]  They're coming after you, right?
[00:12:50]  Both the Democrats and the Routers.
[00:12:51]  Oh, goodness.
[00:12:52]  Yes, they are.
[00:12:53]  Because I'm doing what I said I would do.
[00:12:55]  I'm a mom who's saying, you know, you're not doing this to my children.
[00:12:58]  I'm not sending my children into a socialist nation.
[00:13:00]  I'm going to do something about it.
[00:13:01]  And they've never, it's like they've never encountered someone who is authentically themselves, who is, I am radically me.
[00:13:10]  I am radically Lauren Boeber, and I am not compromising to anyone.
[00:13:14]  And the demands that they give, I'm doing everything that I promised that I would do.
[00:13:18]  And that authenticity is very rare.
[00:13:21]  How's the restaurant been?
[00:13:22]  The restaurant's been good.
[00:13:24]  But, you know, I mean, with that, we get, gosh, dozens of death threats.
[00:13:29]  I just had a bomb threat in my restaurant.
[00:13:31]  Yeah, you know, just another Sunday.
[00:13:33]  I mean, a guy left a briefcase.
[00:13:34]  Very, yes, very suspect, left a briefcase, left some hammer and sickle stickers on his table.
[00:13:42]  And the police said we need to treat this seriously, shut the entire street down to come in and investigate.
[00:13:49]  It was fine.
[00:13:50]  But I mean, there are real psychos out there.
[00:13:52]  And it kind of makes me grateful that the left doesn't like firearms.
[00:13:56]  Yeah, I mean, that's for sure.
[00:13:58]  So let's think more broadly.
[00:14:00]  You think we're going to take back the house?
[00:14:01]  You're comfortable with that?
[00:14:02]  Yes, but we can't just expect it.
[00:14:05]  We can't just expect it to be handed over to us.
[00:14:07]  We have to work and we have to convince the American people that we are actually going to do something with the majority.
[00:14:12]  We can't have a majority like Republicans had in 2016 and 17.
[00:14:16]  That was some of the most frustrating times of my life sitting back watching Republicans fight our president and do nothing.
[00:14:25]  And so we actually have to accomplish something.
[00:14:27]  We have to promise, make promises that we can actually deliver on.
[00:14:30]  Let them know that we're going to have these investigations when we take back the house.
[00:14:33]  We're bringing in Fauci.
[00:14:36]  With NIH and all of this, we're bringing in those in charge of Afghanistan and that horrible withdrawal that we saw.
[00:14:44]  We need to make sure that we will secure the southern border, not just leave it on the shoulders of Texas to do and give education back to the parents.
[00:14:53]  Yes, that's right.
[00:14:54]  Yes, absolutely.
[00:14:55]  We need to take a page out of America's governor Ron DeSantis' book and say no federal dollars will go to any school that's teaching our children to hate our country and hate someone else because of the color of their skin.
[00:15:10]  Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
[00:15:14]  Well, that's mypillow.com.
[00:15:16]  And it's promo code Charlie, actually.
[00:15:18]  It's a great special.
[00:15:19]  And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.

[00:16:16]  Do you think from the investigation side, that's realistic?
[00:16:19]  Absolutely.
[00:16:20]  Yes.
[00:16:21]  I mean, we even see current leadership saying that we will have these investigations and we will put it in the middle.
[00:16:25]  Yeah, Kevin came out with a really good statement.
[00:16:27]  Yes, he did.
[00:16:28]  And so on day one, we'll have these investigations going.
[00:16:31]  And, you know, I hope to be on the oversight committee and I am going full throttle.
[00:16:36]  I gave this idea to Matt Gates.
[00:16:37]  I got an idea for you.
[00:16:38]  You know, you could just show up at these federal buildings, right?
[00:16:40]  Yes.
[00:16:41]  You should show up at the IRS building and demand a meeting.
[00:16:44]  Yes.
[00:16:44]  I could totally MTG that, you know, just Marjorie Taylor Greene show up.
[00:16:47]  The thing is that enough of the committee stuff where you invite them in, you should go to them.
[00:16:52]  Just go to them.
[00:16:53]  Just show up to the IRS building, be like, yeah, I want answers or show up to Department of Energy.
[00:16:58]  So how is it that you guys want to get rid of fossil fuels?
[00:17:00]  Or how about Department of Justice targeting moms and dads, National School Board Association, criminalizing them?
[00:17:07]  And so there's a lot of different things happening in Congress.
[00:17:10]  You haven't been there a year.
[00:17:12]  Right.
[00:17:12]  Are they trying to loop you into this committee that they have right now?
[00:17:16]  In the January 6th committee, gosh, it's such a sham committee.
[00:17:19]  It's just another distraction because they don't have any policies that are good to talk about.
[00:17:24]  So they need a distraction to try to continue to create fear in the American people.
[00:17:28]  And of course, they're going to try to bring me into it.
[00:17:30]  They're going to bring anyone who has taken a stand for freedom, who is close with President Trump.
[00:17:35]  They're bringing us all into it.
[00:17:36]  But no, their committee, Nancy Pelosi, made it very clear that this is a partisan committee when she wouldn't allow Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on this committee and replace them with Adam Kensinger and Liz Cheney.
[00:17:48]  I mean, she politicized it right there and said that this is partisan.
[00:17:52]  Yeah, no doubt.
[00:17:53]  And I mean, the committee is incredibly, it's the questions around them editing the text messages, right?
[00:18:03]  Have you ever seen anything like this before?
[00:18:05]  No.
[00:18:06]  They could do whatever they want and they do it and they do it without shame.
[00:18:11]  And, you know, one thing that is reassuring, when we take back the house, this committee doesn't exist anymore.
[00:18:16]  So this is something that has to be reformed by the majority.
[00:18:20]  Every two years.
[00:18:20]  Yes.
[00:18:21]  So that's one good thing.
[00:18:23]  When we take back the house, this committee's done.
[00:18:25]  So talk about the exact issues you think that are resonating with your voters, the moms and dads type issues.
[00:18:31]  What is really doing well in kind of local politics in Colorado?
[00:18:35]  I think the number one issue that I hear about is the southern border, the invasion that's taking place of our country.
[00:18:40]  And in Colorado, that matters because our governor, yes, Polis, has a dear leader.
[00:18:47]  He has, he's designated us as Sanctuary State.
[00:18:51]  And we even have a Department of New Americans in Colorado.
[00:18:55]  What is that?
[00:18:55]  Yes.
[00:18:55]  So actually, interesting you ask.
[00:18:58]  That DNA.
[00:18:59]  Yeah.
[00:19:00]  Yes, DNA.
[00:19:01]  So, yeah, look at that.
[00:19:02]  Look at that.
[00:19:03]  So at the top of the page on the government website, it says, what is a new American?
[00:19:07]  Well, New Americans of Coloradan, refugee, asylum, DACA recipient, SIV.
[00:19:11]  Are you kidding me?
[00:19:12]  All other forms of immigrants seeking safety, opportunity, and reunification of family, chain migration.
[00:19:19]  The state legislature just this past session enhanced benefits for illegal aliens.
[00:19:24]  Now, listen, I haven't seen any beefed up benefits or opportunities for the Americans who have been punished by this Fauci-funded Chinese virus.
[00:19:32]  The businesses that have been shut down, our kids that have been massed and bound in schools, kept out of schools, the people who are losing their jobs because of an unconstitutional medical mandate.
[00:19:41]  So the border crisis, this invasion absolutely resonates with the people back home.
[00:19:47]  Department of New Americans?
[00:19:49]  Yes.
[00:19:49]  DNA.
[00:19:50]  Yes.
[00:19:50]  So what do they do?
[00:19:52]  They make sure they get the benefits that they need.
[00:19:54]  They get the opportunities that they need.
[00:19:55]  They get the reunification of family.
[00:19:57]  They're the first inverts of Denver.
[00:19:58]  I guess it is, right?
[00:20:00]  You know, there is a class of people who feel like this is their charitable donation, that this is their charitable work because they pay taxes and that's their contribution to society.
[00:20:09]  You know, conservatives, we would rather have more of our own and be charitable where we see fit.
[00:20:15]  We would like to give to our churches.
[00:20:17]  We would like to do more with the school, sponsor a team.
[00:20:19]  But Democrats want, no, you just take care of it.
[00:20:21]  Just create a new department for the T-Balls, for the T-Balls team.
[00:20:24]  And yes.
[00:20:25]  So this really hits home with people.
[00:20:29]  And I think next in line in Colorado, especially is the energy crisis.
[00:20:34]  We were energy independent.
[00:20:36]  Colorado is rich in resources.
[00:20:38]  I said on the Natural Resource Committee because this was a priority for my district.
[00:20:42]  And now we've lost that.
[00:20:44]  We are begging OPEC to produce more oil instead of relying on the American roughneck.
[00:20:49]  Everything that we're doing, we're outsourcing our energy development to our enemies.
[00:20:53]  And we're shutting down our coal-fired energy plants in Colorado while China's building 200 of them.
[00:20:59]  We have 40,000 children mining with their bare hands for cobalt in the Congo while we buy solar panels from China.
[00:21:06]  This is ridiculous.
[00:21:08]  So the energy crisis is definitely number two in Colorado, especially because people can see it coming out of their checkbooks.
[00:21:16]  Yeah.
[00:21:17]  And not to mention the war on fracking, the war on the exploring of oil.
[00:21:21]  Do you think it's intentional?
[00:21:23]  Of course.
[00:21:23]  It's a weaken us.
[00:21:25]  This is a national security threat to have us weak on energy.
[00:21:29]  And it's because the Democrat Party is bought and owned by China.
[00:21:34]  Working with them, I see how envious they are of the Chinese Communist Party.
[00:21:37]  They want to be them so badly.
[00:21:40]  It is amazing the lengths they will go to defend them and their policies and to give them more of what we can be doing.
[00:21:49]  You think Democrats in D.C. want to be the CCP?
[00:21:52]  Of course they do.
[00:21:52]  Look at everything that they're doing.
[00:21:55]  Yes.
[00:21:56]  Emphatically.
[00:21:58]  I agree.
[00:22:00]  It's nice to hear a congressperson say that.
[00:22:02]  By the way, you have to split the tie.
[00:22:03]  Is it Congressman or Congresswoman?
[00:22:05]  Ah, come on now.
[00:22:06]  I don't care.
[00:22:07]  So we are the party of gender.
[00:22:08]  I agree.
[00:22:09]  See, this is it's Congresswoman.
[00:22:10]  I think it's a great idea.
[00:22:11]  So yeah, so we're the party of gender.
[00:22:12]  So Congresswoman, but it's also a misnomer.
[00:22:15]  Like there's no title of Congresswoman.
[00:22:17]  It's Congressman.
[00:22:17]  It's gender neutral.
[00:22:18]  So I don't know.
[00:22:19]  I don't think it's it always feels weird to call a woman a maybe it's gender fluid.
[00:22:24]  I know it's like you have to it's like no congress.
[00:22:26]  I think it's that's fine.
[00:22:27]  I mean, it's I don't like Congress person.
[00:22:29]  I cannot stand.
[00:22:29]  Oh, no, that's terrible.
[00:22:30]  I can't stand it.
[00:22:31]  I don't know who does that.
[00:22:32]  No, no, no.
[00:22:33]  Congresswoman, I think makes a lot of sense.
[00:22:34]  Take it.
[00:22:35]  It's kind of funny because the left used to want to do that.
[00:22:38]  It seems they've gotten away from that.
[00:22:39]  Yes.
[00:22:40]  They want to do, I don't know, Congress being or something like that.
[00:22:44]  You have to go speak shortly.
[00:22:46]  What do you think?
[00:22:46]  On the greatest stage.
[00:22:48]  Oh, Charlie, it's amazing.
[00:22:49]  It's amazing.
[00:22:50]  I did have to go and test your ramp.
[00:22:51]  I was a little scared that I was going to.
[00:22:53]  Yes, I went to the bottom.
[00:22:54]  Wait, are you coming down the ramp side?
[00:22:55]  I'm coming down the ramp.
[00:22:56]  Oh.
[00:22:57]  Yes.
[00:22:57]  Like, well, it's right in the center.
[00:22:58]  Yeah, yeah, okay.
[00:22:59]  We'll see stairs too on the side.
[00:23:00]  Okay.
[00:23:01]  We got all sorts of stuff.
[00:23:02]  Yeah.
[00:23:02]  Gosh, I guess there's more to it than I know.
[00:23:04]  But I thought I was going to be like, Trump, remember how they may find President Trump on the ramp?
[00:23:08]  No, I think you'll be okay.
[00:23:09]  You're wearing heels?
[00:23:10]  I am.
[00:23:11]  Okay, then you got to just walk through it.
[00:23:13]  It is the greatest stage in the history of the conservative movement.
[00:23:16]  Amazing.
[00:23:17]  And the AV and all of that.
[00:23:18]  What are you going to share with our students?
[00:23:19]  You know, I want to encourage them.
[00:23:21]  That's what this is about.
[00:23:23]  This isn't about, hey, everybody, look what I did.
[00:23:25]  Ain't I something?
[00:23:26]  No, this is about you and your family and your children and your children's children, the future of our country.
[00:23:32]  What are you doing with what's in your hand?
[00:23:35]  What are you doing with what you already know, the revelations that you already have, the knowledge that you already have?
[00:23:40]  What are you going to apply that to?
[00:23:42]  And how is that going to benefit our country?
[00:23:44]  So, I want to make sure that I am encouraging everyone in the audience to stay involved and get more involved.
[00:23:51]  Amen.
[00:23:52]  Well, God bless you, Congresswoman, Congresswoman, Gloria, Lauren Boehner.
[00:23:55]  Thanks so much.
