The Ministry of Truth and Woke Banks with Rob Collins
We've known it this whole time, but now the quiet part has been said out loud. The Regime hates parents, and they are aiming to undermine a parent's role in raising children. Charlie gets fired up at the teachers, administrators, and schools who are indoctrinating innocent children every single day and excluding parents from the most formative years in their kids' lives. Next, Charlie compares George Orwell's 1984 to the Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board, which threatens to expel free speech once and for all. This "Ministry of Truth" claims to save Americans from dangerous misinformation, and not-so-coincidentally shows up right around midterms. Finally. Rob Collins, the founder of a new conservative bank, Coign, joins the show to expose where your money is actually going every time you swipe your credit card. In just a few weeks, you can get your hands on a credit card that doesn't support depraved corporations. Learn more at Coign.com.

Revival of the Parents Party00:09:21

We've been talking about this theme for a couple of weeks: that in order for the great reset to occur, for a globalist vision of humanity to set in, the parental-child bond must weaken.
That the bond that children have with their parents is all that ties a society together.
The Bible has told us this time and time again.
The Bible has in the Ten Commandments the only commandment that comes with a promise and involves your nation.
Honor your mother and father, so you might live long in the land of which you are in.
A parental-child bond actually keeps us free, free from government intervention, involvement, and authoritarianism.
There is no example of communism coming into place where strong families persisted.
It does not exist.
The phrase Mother Russia, for example, came forward because they raised young children to believe their true mother was the Russian government.
In Mao Sedong's China, they had the Mao's Red Guard actually incentivizing children to turn their parents in if they were not properly loyal to Mao's government.
In Cuba, children were indoctrinated to believe that their maternal parents were not actually as important as the government body.
I could go example after example in Mugabe's Rhodesia, which became Zimbabwe.
That in order for these totalitarian experiments to be successful, the family is in the way.
This is one of the reasons why we have seen a resurgence and a revival and an unexpected strengthening of the parents' party.
For years, we talked about family values, and people would kind of roll their eyes.
They said, oh, let's just talk about tax cuts.
It is now front and center.
The center-right movement in America cares more about social issues right now than even fiscal issues.
Not to say that fiscal issues aren't important, but the conversation, the chatter amongst people that are new to politics or the base of the political conservative right, cares more about right now, trans issues, cares about education.
Now, I think it's tied with the border and inflation at times, but what really animates the base is things that are kind of defining the entire civilization as we know it.
Now, we've warned for a while that the perspective of the regime and the administration and the Democrat Party and the Democrat machine is that they do not want parents to be in charge of their kids' education.
Terry McAuliffe said this when he was running for governor of Virginia, which resulted in him getting obliterated and making a total fool of himself when he probably gave like a drunken, sloppy concession speech to now Governor Young in Virginia.
The thermonuclear weapon against the left that they never expected is them actually admitting out loud that parents aren't in control of their kids.
Now, this is something we know has existed, but they've usually disguised it.
They've camouflaged it.
They don't admit it.
But now they're leading with it.
Now they are defending this idea that teachers are sovereign.
That parents, you take a back seat, that as soon as you drop your child off at school, the moment that you put them into a public school, you are not in charge.
And it does ask the question, who is sovereign?
Who calls the shots?
Well, in a Western culture, in a biblical culture, in a culture that respects the tradition of the family, the parents call the shots, not the state.
The state, the government, serves at the, they serve because the parents and the adults have given them the power.
But as long as families remain self-sufficient, patriotic, and conservative in nature, then a radical revolution in the country tends to kind of continue to misfire.
Well, Joe Biden is now saying this out loud.
Joe Biden is telling parents, look, they're not your kids.
When they go to a classroom, they're the teacher's kids.
Play cut 76.
You've heard me say it many times about our children, but it's true.
They're all our children.
And the reason you're the teachers of the year is because you recognize that.
They're not somebody else's children.
They're like yours when they're in the classroom.
He's talking to a group of teachers who says, they're now yours.
They're not somebody else's.
They're yours in the classroom.
Karl Marx famously wrote, quote, the education of all children from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care shall be in state institutions at the state expense.
It is impossible to execute all these different sort of political factors, all these sort of political goals, I should say, without the breaking of that bond.
So Biden is now saying this out loud.
It is the position of the Democrat Party.
If you are a parent out there, I hope you know that if you vote for a Democrat and you have a Democrat in office, the President of the United States, who is a Democrat, who said this a couple times, by the way, it's not a gaffe, he repeated this, and he says, look, I say this all the time, with emphasis added, that they are not your kids.
So whose children are they?
And what's the significance?
They think parents are an annoyance to their agenda.
Parents tend to do a couple things they don't like.
They ask questions.
They push back on bad ideas.
Parents tend to not like when all of a sudden there are transgender transition closets in their schools.
Parents tend to get very angry when their children are given puberty blockers without their knowledge, and they should.
The parents are the guardians.
They are tasked, we believe, in a spiritual sense, first and a material sense, second, to be the guardians of those children's innocence, to raise them up in the ways of which you want them to go, to try to teach them what is good, what is beautiful, what is true, what is virtuous.
That is the parents' responsibility, not the state's responsibility.
A free country is a country where parents are engaged and involved and alert, where parents at times have to channel their inner primal tribal instinct and be willing to put themselves and their own reputation above anything else to say, you are not messing with my kid.
Joe Biden doesn't like that.
You see, they're actually realizing the country's far more conservative than they thought.
They thought because they sent ballots in every direction and suburban moms didn't like Trump's tone and personality that somehow they were super popular.
In fact, they're not.
In fact, the Democrat Party is less popular than any time in the last 20 or 30 years.
The Democrat positions are even less popular than that.
And if there is a parent out there, every statistic shows that they're actually trusting Republicans increasingly more with education decisions than Democrats.
And Democrats used to always have the advantage on those issues.
Republicans used to be always good on national security and the economy.
Democrats are good on kind of social issues and good on education.
Now, Republicans are favorable with social issues, the economy, they're favorable on education issues, and they're favorable on national security issues.
And so you must understand the broader agenda here.
And for every parent listening, if you have your kid in school right now, I pray you really know what's going on.
If you're a grandparent and you trust the school that your kid goes to, I'm glad, or your grandchildren goes out, I'm glad you trust it.
I wouldn't.
I don't trust many schools because I know that there is a deliberate attempt from the National Association of Independent Schools to go into private schools first and foremost, because even if you think it's a good private school, you're probably mistaken.
Maybe it's a wonderful private school.
But parents are emailing us in record numbers, freedom at charliekirk.com, and they are surprised and they're blown away.
They said, I never knew it was that bad.
I had no idea.
Because when you drop your kid off to school, they might be encountering a teacher like this who thinks it's their kid.
Play cut 40.
My principal just approved our district's first transition closet.
We'll be working with the organization of the Transition Closet to provide clothes for transgender, non-binary, and gender-exploring youth who maybe don't have the access or the safety to get those clothes in their personal lives.
They'll be able to come to school and change into clothes that make them feel more at home and more like themselves.
And I just think that's lovely.
That's a teacher.
Joe Biden says your kids belong to him.
Joe Biden believes that your kids are his.
Are they?
That is the question.
Whose children are they?
So Elon Musk buys Twitter and changes are underway there.
The New Ministry of Truth00:02:30
And without missing a beat, the federal government of the United States has now launched a new ministry of truth.
Now, if you are a reader and you are familiar with Orwell's 1984, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about when I say Ministry of Truth.
The Ministry of Truth was one of several ministries in the fictitious but albeit rather clairvoyant novel written by George Orwell, one of the five dystopian authors in late 1940s, 1950s that wrote on this topic: Arthur Kessler, C.S. Lewis, Winston Churchill, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell.
All five of them were contemporaries in one way or the other and kind of played around with this idea of dystopian authoritarianism.
So in the book, 1984, there were several ministries.
The Ministry of Peace, which of course was concerned with war.
The Ministry of Love, which concerned itself with torture, the Ministry of Plenty, which concerned itself with starvation, and the Ministry of Truth with, of course, lies.
As Orwell beautifully writes, quote, these contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy.
They are deliberate exercises in double think.
So when we use that term, Orwellian, we mean it.
I've studied 1984.
I try to read it once every couple of years.
I read it last year, last May.
I got through it very quickly.
And boy, did I learn more.
I mean, Orwell's ability to capture the behavioral pattern of a tyrant was extraordinary.
Not just what the society would look like, but actually how the tyrant themselves would operate.
Of course, that is best depicted in the novel with Mr. O'Brien, who worked for the Ministry of Truth.
Ministry of Truth had three slogans, of course.
War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.
Now, they put forward this idea of what a thought crime was.
A thought crime is when you say something that was politically unorthodox, an unspoken belief, or something that would contradict the tenets of INSOC or the government at the time or the dominant ideology of Oceania, which is the fictitious kind of former place where London was, which is where Orwell wrote about this.
DHS Disinformation Governance Board00:02:05
So yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security has announced a new disinformation governance board, the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, no major announcements, of course, with the invasion happening on our southern border.
No major announcements from the Department of Homeland Security as to why so many food processing plants have planes being crashed into them, have been lit on fire, or we have a food shortage.
Is terrorism to blame for that?
I don't know.
I don't necessarily think so, but I want an answer to that.
No answer from the Department of Homeland Security as to whether or not we might have loose immigration policy that could let terrorists into our country.
No, instead, the policy of the Department of Homeland Security is now we are going to put forward a disinformation governance board.
So the head of this disinformation governance board is this charlatan by the name of Nina Jankowitz.
She has now said, I am in charge of the board, which is to help maintain the department's commitment to free speech, privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.
So Orwellian.
It's like the opposite of what it's supposed to be.
So Jankowitz has advised the Ukrainian government on strategic communications.
Of course, she has, obviously, if you're involved at the top levels of government, of course you are involved in Ukraine.
But what's amazing is that she herself spread disinformation back in 2020.
She's a disinformation artist.
She's an expert.
She's a master of disinformation.
So she was the one that was spreading this idea that 50 intel people had said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, even though the idea that 50 Intel people said it was Russian disinformation was disinformation itself.
It was Democrat disinformation.
Now, all of this is just in time for the midterms.
All of this is just in time for the November election.
Investing in Conservative Causes00:15:09
This is happening at a very quick pace, where we now have a new ministry of truth that will use the power of government to say, hey, I don't like Charlie Kirk's tweets.
Is he spreading disinformation?
Is he a Putin puppet?
Is he a Russian agent to use the federal government, the power of the federal government to try to restrict speech to try and prevent political messages they don't like from being spread?
What is considered disinformation one day ends up being consensus the next day?
This is not a mistake.
This is a political agenda by the Biden administration and the Democrat Party to try to intimidate you from spreading the truth online and in other places.
Almost every day we hear about another major corporation that has gone woke.
Disney hates you and everyone should cancel Disney.
They hate families.
Disney made tons of money off of being family friendly and family safe.
Now it's time to divest from Disney.
There's a lot of companies like T-Mobile that's firing all their unvaccinated employees.
They're tormenting their employees with leftist propaganda and funding organizations who seem to hate this country.
And so I was on a mission.
I was seeing how much I was spending on my cell phone bill, how much Turning Point USA was spending on our cell phone bill.
I said, I'm so sick and tired of giving these anti-American cell phone companies my hard-earned money and our amazing donor money at Turning Point USA.
So I told my team, I said, go find the cell phone company that shares our values.
And I remember I met this guy, Glenn.
We'd run into each other a couple of times, and he was super enthusiastic, always wore this red polo, said Patriot Mobile on it.
And I saw him again in an event.
I said, okay, now you really got to sit down.
Like, let's plan some time together and talk about this.
So we had this meal in Dallas.
This was back in November, and he laid it all out.
And I got it.
I was like, wow, okay.
So you're at a conservative Christian cell phone provider and I don't have to pay all these woke companies.
And it just like clicked in a minute.
I said, let's partner together.
Let's have you on the show.
Let's do some things.
And that's how it all started.
So Patriot Mobile, they have plans to fit every budget.
And their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
So make the switch today.
I know the whole management team behind Patriot Mobile, Glenn, all of them, they support Turning Point USA.
They support us beautifully.
So you go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
People ask all the time, Charlie, what do I do?
What do I do?
Well, a good way to start is, you know, make your cell phone bill, whatever.
If you see it on your cell phone statement, you get your cell phone statement.
You might as well just say, oh, that money's going to the DNC or that money's going to Christian conservative organizations or company like Patriot Mobile.
So you get a free activation with the offer code Charlie.
They also have special discounts for veterans and first responder heroes.
It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
Join me on the Charlie Kirk show in our change to Patriot Mobile and forgetting all these woke, awful, terrible cell phone companies.
Portions of this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, are brought to you in part by Patriot Mobile.
We have been talking and complaining about woke banks for quite some time, about how difficult it is to find anyone that shares our values in the financial world.
So I was made aware of this company that was coming on to the scene recently, and I was just so encouraged and excited about what they were trying to do, especially in the credit card space, because some of these credit card companies are just out of control.
And it is a new conservative credit card company.
We wrote about this at CharlieKirk.com.
We're partnering with them on a lot of different things moving forward called COIN, C-O-I-G-N.
And with us right now is the founder of this effort, Rob Collins.
Rob, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Hey, Charlie, glad to be on here.
I want to give a shout out to my nephew, who's a member of one of your Georgia chapters at Turning Point.
I was recently with him, and he had a bunch of stickers on his computer.
And he's loud and proud.
And I love it.
Just glad to be on the show.
It's awesome.
Well, congratulations on the launch.
You guys are now public.
So talk about the need.
And there's a huge market out there to have kind of a non-woke credit card.
Yeah, I think it stems from the fact that, you know, 10 times a week, 40 times a month, 480 times a year per credit card, and the average American has four credit cards.
Your commerce is being used as a weapon against you, and it's not reflecting your values.
And I just think there's an opportunity.
We're the largest, conservatives are the largest ideological block in America, yet we don't work together.
We don't have a place where we can have a voice.
And this is just an opportunity for us all to come together, move our commerce through one vehicle and not only increase our voice, but really, really bundle up millions of dollars, trillions, hopefully trillions, billions of dollars of commerce and invest in conservative charities.
You know, we have a real challenge that people who give aren't listened to by corporate America.
People who use their product aren't listened to by corporate America.
And the idea that we can, you know, have a credit card that is catered for conservatives, but also invest in conservative charity is a huge opportunity and a huge advantage, I believe, in the future to reassert our voice into corporate America.
Yeah, so it's coin.com, C-O-I-G-N.
So let's talk more about just kind of that issue.
Is this the misrepresentation from corporate America?
The website says together we're creating conservative commerce.
And with our combined strength, we'll allow great American conservative charities to grow great American conservative charities.
And the credit card is competitive with all the kind of cash back guarantees of other credit cards.
And so this is really an ideological argument in a good way where people need to ask themselves the question, do you want it every time you swipe to go to some sort of whatever left-wing charity, you know, you could pick the assortment?
Or do you actually want it to go somewhere where it might be actually supporting veterans or freedom of speech or religious liberty?
This is something that conservatives need to think deeply about because they might unintentionally be funding left-wing causes every time they make a purchase.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I mean, you know the causes, you know, and they're not for us.
It doesn't mean they're not allowed to be out there, but why is our commerce being used to fund it is a fundamental question.
You know, conservatives are great.
When we, you know, as active conservatives, we're really busy.
We want to give back.
We want to help out.
But we also, you know, really want something that's seamless.
And a credit card is really simple.
And as you said, it's a 1% cashback credit card backed by Visa.
It's everything you've ever had for your entire life with a credit card.
Just it has one big difference, which is it was built by conservatives and we're going to invest in conservative charities.
And it comes from the company.
So it won't cost our cardholders anything.
They'll still get their 1% cash back.
But every time they swipe, a little piece of that merchant fee, we're going to put into the charity bucket.
And then, you know, we're going to open it up and say to our cardholders, hey, come vote, tell us where your priorities are.
And then we'll be able to fund charities.
And if you think about the active, the size of the conservative movement, if we can get folks organized and together, we could, you know, the hundreds of millions of dollars that we could put into great conservative charities would be tremendous.
Yeah.
And it's not extra money.
That's the thing is that it's money that you're already spending, right?
Taco Bell or, you know, at Home Depot or whatever, is that you're already the velocity of money might as well go towards causes you align with.
And so, yeah, talk, when is the card coming out?
I know there's a waiting list.
Can people get it right now?
Can't get the card right now.
We're building a waiting list.
We wanted to kind of build an audience, build a community.
And, you know, we're weeks away from rolling out the cards.
We, you know, the modern credit card rollouts generally have a waiting list period where you kind of build your audience, get your first set of early adopters, people who are going to join.
And then you start to feed out the cards as they come.
And, you know, we're really excited.
There's going to be conservatives are going to have three options to choose from on the cards.
And, you know, they're going to have be able to tailor it to kind of what they want to see and how they, how what they want it to look like.
And, you know, it's going to be app-driven.
I mean, like I said, everything you expect in a credit card, we're going to provide, except, you know, a coin, we're just going to be supporting conservative causes.
And it seems as if there is this institutional kind of issue where we have to kind of start our own stuff, right?
Where it's not, it's no longer good enough just to kind of fix some of these other companies.
What's the response been in the last couple of days?
Seems very favorable.
I know a lot of people that have signed up on the waiting list, but I'm sure the media has some complaints.
No, the response has been generally great.
People writing in, people calling in saying, hey, I have an idea for a charity or, you know, one person signed up and said, you know, I had this cool Darth Vader card, but it's, you know, I want to switch to yours because even though it looks cool, it doesn't support my values and it doesn't support what I believe in.
And so people have been super generous.
They've gone to sign up.
They've retweeted us.
They've liked us on Facebook.
And the response has been great.
The center right media has really understood this and they really get what we're trying to do here.
And the other mainstream media, they're always looking for a divisiveness and fighting.
And I think what we're just trying to say is, we're greater together and we can build something that's really neat that serves conservatives and serves their wishes.
And if you don't like it, that's fine.
They don't like conservative TV.
They don't like conservative podcasts.
And that's their choice.
But there's a huge audience out there of people who just really want to express their values and their lifestyle and their hopes for the future of this country.
And I think there's been so much entrepreneurialship in the space, which is awesome.
There's options now with technology and food and clothing.
This is just a way to kind of hardwire it into the central piece of your commerce, which is sometimes it's hard when the kids are at the park and they're screaming for this kind of ice cream and you know they don't share your values, but it's right there.
It just allows folks to, you know, in the back of their head, say, you know what, I'm sticking up for what I believe in.
And even if I have to buy this ice cream now or these jeans or this, you know, this equipment or something.
And they just know a piece of that commerce is going to causes that they care about.
Yeah, it can kind of neutralize the Starbucks run, right?
So you got to go to Starbucks, but if you use the coin card, it kind of like is a net net neutral.
Now, I wouldn't recommend going to Disney World, but at least some of the volume will go of the volume of purchasing will go back to things you care about.
Exactly.
Not things you don't care about.
And it's even better if you like donate to Turning Point USA with a coin card.
Everybody.
Exactly.
You can stretch those conservative investments even further if you pay with your coin card.
And you're right.
You nailed it right on the head, which is, you know, disruption is hard.
And the parallel economy is in the beginning stages.
And, you know, you can't seed 50 years of corporate leadership to the left and then knock on the door and say, we'd like it back.
You know, we're going to have to earn it back and we're going to have to earn it back one consumer at a time and show we have a high quality product that's honest, it's authentic, and it's doing everything we said, which is we're going to find high quality charities that our members are going to be proud to support.
And, you know, and they're going to feel good every time they put that card on the table to pay for dinner or to buy a product.
They're going to say, you know what?
I'm not only not giving up any economics.
I'm able to continue to get the same great benefits that those other cards offer.
But you know what?
I'm helping out.
I'm doing my part.
And that's really why we did it.
It's just really a great opportunity to kind of extend your values into your commerce.
And the tech is great.
I walked through it with you previously.
It's first class.
And so let's just, in closing here, Rob, just walk us through the launch.
If I sign up for a card today, I get put on a waiting list, then what?
I know you're working through a lot of that, but it's coin.com, C-O-I-G-N.com.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C-O-I-G-N.com to go there, sign up on the wait list.
You're going to, we're going to continue to talk to you.
We're hoping in a matter of weeks, cards are going to start to roll out.
Little issue with a chip shortage, believe it or not.
You're going to, the first cards have gold chips on them.
We wanted silver, but there were no silver chips to be had.
So a little supply chain issue that America is suffering, not just coin, but we're weeks away.
And like I said, we have the design, we have the technology, we're ready to go, just lining up those final few ships.
And also a wait list allows us to kind of already pre-sort and get people in line.
So kind of like any concert, you buy your ticket and then you get in line and then they kind of segment you and you go to the right door based on where you're sitting.
And that's kind of what we're trying to do.
And I think it's been really effective.
You know, we've been really blessed.
I mean, the amount of people who signed up has blown away our expectations.
The support from the community, people calling to say, you know, hey, I'm a conservative this.
I'm a conservative, you know, organizer.
I'm a conservative businessman.
I'm a conservative, you know, leader in my church.
Tell me more.
What are we doing?
So, you know, people always say, what can I do to help?
Obviously, sign up, but tell your friends.
You know, you know, the forces that are coming against us.
They're not going to help us.
They're going to do everything at first to ignore us, as they always do.
And then when we get big enough, they're going to try and destroy us.
And, and, but as long as everyone in the community just starts to talk about it and say, hey, there's this great thing.
It doesn't fit for everybody.
We understand that.
But there is a fit for folks.
And, you know, your audience will really plug into this.
They'll really understand this.
And we'd love to depart.
And it's like, it's a no-brainer way.
We're making the transition as it comes out.
It's like a no-brainer thing.
Like, why would I have these woke credit cards?
Like, I don't align with them.
So it's just like, we're going to be kind of just moving it over.
And then it's just no thought, right?
Just like every time, you know, I go to buy something, I book an airplane ticket.
It's like that is now going to be part of the broader movement.
So it's just like once you make that switch, then you don't have to actively think about supporting the causes you care about.
It's like just living your life can then be in proper alignment, which is, that's what's so brilliant about it is that, and it's a product you already need.
I mean, meaning 99% of people listening right now, you probably have credit cards, right?
And then therefore you have credit cards that are likely going to causes that aren't aren't great.

Appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Questioning the $33 Billion Cost00:05:01
We've played this tape before.
It's Melissa Harris Perry saying that they're not your children.
It's from a couple years ago, but Joe Biden is saying the exact same thing.
We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children.
Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility.
We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.
So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.
Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.
Yeah, lean forward used to be the saying of MSNBC.
MSNBC used to be actually really interesting back then.
And so it's just interesting because they were progressive, but at least they had some hosts that were somewhat fair, but then they just totally lost their mind.
And so it was a different country back then.
2013, she was fired actually for saying this.
Now the president of the United States, Joe Biden, is saying that exact same thing.
She'd probably be promoted today for saying such a thing.
So how much aid is too much aid to Ukraine?
We've been against obvious intervention there.
We've come under fire for that because we actually want to secure our own border.
Well, now Joe Biden is asking for $33 billion more to Ukraine.
And yes, our southern border is still wide open.
And yes, we have 100,000 plus drug overdoses.
We've said for a while that D.C. has a loyalty and an allegiance to foreign countries more than our own.
When was the last time Biden wanted $33 billion to prevent the invasion from Mexico and Nicaragua?
Let's play tape.
But Joe Biden asking for $33 billion yesterday, cut 91.
So we need to contribute arms, funding, ammunition, and the economic support to make their courage and sacrifice have purpose so they can continue this fight and do what they're doing.
It's critical this funding gets approved and approved as quickly as possible.
As quickly as possible.
I'm curious.

Are you enthusiastic about sending another $33 billion to a foreign country to a murky conflict that is now reaching its 70th or 80th day?
I'm wondering, is that the position of the conservative base?
Do you think there might be other priorities for the American government to be concerned about than another $33 billion?
I mean, what's $33 billion in the era of big government, right?
It's a rounding error, I suppose.
It's not like it matters.
We print money out of thin air.
Tomorrow, we're going to do a whole episode.
I don't want to touch on this, just maybe a little bit, but tomorrow, we're going to go all into the student loan thing, all about the history of it.
We kind of didn't have time to get into that today.
But Joe Biden is thinking about doing something on that, which will be very historic and not in a good way if he does that.
So just kind of hang on there right there.
I want to play this other tape here, though, where Jen Psaki was asked about Joe Biden's business dealings with Hunter Biden, PlayCut 83.
We've heard the president say over and over again that he has never spoken to his son about his business dealings.
Has he ever spoken to his son's business partners about his son's business dealings?
Again, nothing has changed about what I said yesterday.
The president does not get involved in the business dealings of his son, even through his son's business partners.
Nothing has changed since what I said yesterday.
I don't believe you answered that part of my question yesterday.
He's not involved in his son's business dealings.
We know that's a lie.
We have evidence to show that in the emails, that Joe Biden wasn't just a little bit involved.
He was the architect of the business dealings.
But the pressure is coming after Biden.
Unfortunately, we're probably going to be entering a recession sometime soon.
The awful economic news shows that.
Unlike the Democrats, we're not going to celebrate going into a recession, even though that might mean political good news.
I don't like to see Americans suffer.
Democrats do like to see Americans suffer if it meant getting rid of Donald Trump.
They said that repeatedly.
I want to tell you kind of some of the results from our Trump DeSantis poll, freedom at charliekirk.com.
We are still kind of tabulating, but it looks like Donald Trump by five or ten points, I would say.
Just as kind of a quick eye glance, we had so many people email us.
Do you want Trump or DeSantis?
And a lot of people said both.
Some people want to see a union of two of them run together.
A Trump DeSantis ticket seems to be very, very popular.
And so I'd love your thoughts.
Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
That is freedom at charliekirk.com.
Trump or DeSantis?
I'm very curious.
