=== Blaming Ultra MAGA for Inflation (15:19) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:00:02]  Joining us this hour is Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, also host of Breitbart News Daily, a podcast you got to check out.
[00:00:11]  He's a great friend of the show, an incredibly smart newsman.
[00:00:15]  And we are talking inflation.
[00:00:18]  Inflation.
[00:00:18]  Why is it happening?
[00:00:20]  Where is it going?
[00:00:20]  What is Joe Biden saying about it?
[00:00:22]  Why is Ultra MAGA to blame and Putin's price hike?
[00:00:25]  All this.
[00:00:25]  We make sense of it.
[00:00:26]  We also talk about baby formula.
[00:00:29]  Why is there a shortage on baby formula?
[00:00:31]  And why are we not hearing more about it?
[00:00:33]  What can you do to help your own family?
[00:00:35]  Alex has the insights.
[00:00:36]  You don't want to miss.
[00:00:37]  It's a very important episode.
[00:00:39]  Buckle up.
[00:00:40]  Here we go.
[00:00:41]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:43]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:45]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:48]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:52]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:53]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:54]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:00:56]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:01:01]  Turning point USA.
[00:01:02]  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.
[00:01:11]  That's why we are here.

[00:01:26]  Right when we're starting the show today, Biden starts talking about inflation, starts, has this big press conference.
[00:01:32]  He's now saying it's his number one priority, CUP 48.
[00:01:37]  Let's play it.
[00:01:38]  The bottom line is this: my top priority is fighting inflation and lowering prices for families and things they need.
[00:01:45]  Today's announcement is going to give millions of families a little more, a little more breathing room to help them pay their bills.
[00:01:52]  So he says it's his top priority.
[00:01:54]  And that actually wasn't from the press conference today.
[00:01:56]  That was actually from a day or two ago when he announced that it's now his top priority.
[00:01:59]  But this is a change of tone for the Biden regime.
[00:02:03]  What were they saying in July 2020?
[00:02:06]  Let's play Cut 57.
[00:02:09]  I don't know anybody, including Larry Summers, who's a friend of mine, who's worried about inflation.
[00:02:14]  Talk of inflation.
[00:02:16]  The overwhelming consensus is going to pop up a little bit and then go back down.
[00:02:20]  No one's talking about this great, great deal.
[00:02:24]  It's highly unlikely that's going to be long-term inflation that's going to get out of hand.
[00:02:29]  There's nobody suggesting there's unchecked inflation on the way.
[00:02:33]  So there was a former president who once warned about Joe Biden, saying, don't eve estimate his ability to really, let's just say, screw things up.
[00:02:45]  That man was Barack Obama.
[00:02:47]  He warned us about this man.
[00:02:49]  And there was another man named Secretary Gates, Defense Secretary Gates, that said that Joe Biden has been wrong on every single foreign policy issue in the last four decades.
[00:03:00]  So why on earth would we suspect anything different when it came to the economy?
[00:03:04]  Now, he mentioned Larry Summers, who is one of the economists in the Obama years.
[00:03:10]  Now, what I will tell you is that Larry Summers was massively critical about the $1.9 trillion stimulus plan that the Biden regime passed right at the onset.
[00:03:23]  Put up an image here, 59.
[00:03:26]  Go ahead and put that up.
[00:03:27]  And what this graph does is it shows an inflection point.
[00:03:32]  So you've basically got consumer price inflation year over year, percentage change in CPI, consumer price inflation index.
[00:03:40]  And then it's basically around 2%.
[00:03:42]  It almost dips down to 0% right when the pandemic hit and we locked down our economy.
[00:03:47]  Then it starts trickling back up right when Biden takes office in January 2021.
[00:03:54]  Then, and here's the key.
[00:03:57]  Soon as he takes office, the line basically goes straight up and then it hits rock, it gets rocket fuel in March 21, 2021, when the Democrat stimulus bill passes.
[00:04:07]  Now, the CPI has been going up and up and up and up and up ever since.
[00:04:12]  And you'll see that basically it got to 8% all the way before Russia invades Ukraine.
[00:04:19]  And now it's at 8.5%.
[00:04:21]  But most of the inflation that we are seeing is a result of over-stimulating the economy.
[00:04:29]  This is something that Summers himself warned against.
[00:04:33]  So when you hear that Joe Biden say things like the Putin price hike, we know for a fact that that is absolutely asinine.
[00:04:42]  Let's play Cut 52.
[00:04:43]  And I think this clip is really informative as to why you're seeing this change from the Biden administration, this change in tone and messaging.
[00:04:52]  I mean, obviously, they're looking at the polls.
[00:04:54]  The polls are telling them that inflation is number one on the minds of the American electorate heading into the midterm.
[00:05:02]  So they are trying to pivot.
[00:05:04]  This is called a pivot.
[00:05:05]  Why are they pivoting?
[00:05:06]  Cut 52.
[00:05:08]  This morning, economic anxiety growing across the country.
[00:05:11]  Gas prices hit a new nominal record this morning, $4.37 a gallon.
[00:05:17]  This comes as prices for everything from groceries to plane tickets continue to rise.
[00:05:22]  Meantime, stocks, stock market taking a huge hit amidst all the uncertainty.
[00:05:28]  So we got stocks down.
[00:05:30]  They tried to rally today, and then they ended up giving away those gains and falling again.
[00:05:36]  The gas prices have hit a new record high.
[00:05:40]  Again, he calls this the Putin price hike, but we all know that that's not true as well.
[00:05:45]  It's just an awful branding and messaging angle, by the way.
[00:05:49]  The Putin price hike.
[00:05:51]  Especially when his administration has gone on record, when he himself has gone on record saying that he is not going to, he wants to eliminate fossil fuels, that he's going to phase it out.
[00:06:01]  We heard this time and time again when he was on the campaign trail.
[00:06:05]  First, one of the first executive orders that he did was end the Exon pipeline.
[00:06:12]  So here's the truth.
[00:06:16]  So he comes onto stage and he calls this the ultra MAGA.
[00:06:22]  He's blaming ultra MAGA for this inflation.
[00:06:27]  So ultra MAGA, if you must, if you're wondering what ultra MAGA is, it is the, so on Tuesday, Biden will lay out his plan to fight inflation and contrast his approach with congressional Republicans.
[00:06:39]  Obviously, this was written before Biden's speech this morning.
[00:06:42]  Ultra MAGA planned to raise taxes on 75 million American families and threatened to sunset programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, the official said.
[00:06:50]  Last week, Biden took aim at Republican U.S. Senator Rick Scott's economic plan, saying it would raise taxes on 75 million Americans, most of whom make less than $100,000 a year.
[00:06:59]  Scott, who said he planned to cut taxes, is leading the Republican effort to get Republicans elected to the Senate.
[00:07:06]  See, let's go ahead and play Ultra MAGA Cut 60 Joe Biden.
[00:07:09]  So there's a lot.
[00:07:10]  It's really complicated.
[00:07:11]  I'm not suggesting the American people can't understand it.
[00:07:14]  They understand it, but they have, you know, they're working eight, 10 hours a day just to put food on the table.
[00:07:21]  I say this carefully.
[00:07:23]  I never expected the ultra MAGA Republicans who seem to control the Republican Party now to have been able to control the Republican Party.
[00:07:37]  I never anticipated that happening.
[00:07:41]  The ultra MAGA, the ultra MAGA.
[00:07:45]  I think it's a, we need to get t-shirts made, ultra MAGA.
[00:07:48]  That is a that is a badge of honor.
[00:07:51]  So thank you, Joe Biden, for that.
[00:07:55]  Here's what's so infuriating about this.
[00:07:57]  He says that the Republicans don't have a plan.
[00:07:59]  So they leaked transcripts of this speech, or at least outlines of the speech to the press.
[00:08:05]  So we saw that.
[00:08:07]  Joe Biden is saying the Republicans don't have a plan on inflation.
[00:08:09]  I think it's completely, that's an absurd thing to say.
[00:08:14]  The plan is to do the opposite of what the Biden regime is doing.
[00:08:17]  Open up drilling.
[00:08:20]  You have to unleash the energy sector in this country.
[00:08:24]  Cheap, affordable, reliable energy is the bedrock of any healthy economy.
[00:08:31]  You're seeing this in Europe now that they've got the natural gas cutoff from Russia.
[00:08:36]  It's in crisis.
[00:08:37]  You have to stop printing money like it's going out of style.
[00:08:40]  Modern monetary theory will kill any economy.
[00:08:45]  And here's the other thing: you need to stop taxing your producers so much that they don't invest in future capital flows.
[00:08:52]  There's multiple things that we could do, but basically, let's sum it up like this: the opposite of what you're doing, Joe Biden.
[00:08:57]  It's very, very simple.
[00:08:59]  Joe Biden's disastrous presser, where he blamed everybody but himself for all of these terrible, terrible decisions that they've been making.
[00:09:07]  And we showed a graph earlier that clearly pointed out that inflation was triggered right when he took office, right when he took office, and then it shot up like a rocket ship at the $1.9 million trillion dollar stimulus package that he and the Democrats passed.
[00:09:26]  You have to understand their whole perception about the financial markets is rooted in something called modern monetary theory, which basically, to sum it all up, means you can print all the money you want and it doesn't matter.
[00:09:39]  Where the rules are made up and the points don't mean anything, that's the world that the Democrats live in.
[00:09:44]  They are untethered to the pesky shackles of reality, as we often say in this show.
[00:09:49]  Now, here's the problem: he says he's taken unprecedented steps to relieve the price at the pump by releasing oil from the reserves.
[00:10:04]  This is just a drop in the bucket.
[00:10:07]  So he's saying this, which is just shocking that he's this, that he's, I'm trying to, you know, channel my upbringing to respect the highest office holders in the land.
[00:10:19]  It's so dumb.
[00:10:20]  It's just so on the day that the gas prices hit a record high, he's saying he's been taking unprecedented action to stem the problem at the pump, which everybody knows.
[00:10:33]  It's the probably, it's probably the most, it's probably the most, it's the closest to people around the country.
[00:10:42]  When every time they have to fill up their car and they're hitting $100, $120 to fill up that gas tank, that is one of the most constant reminders that inflation is on the rise.
[00:10:54]  And so what does he say?
[00:10:55]  He says he's released oil from the reserves.
[00:10:58]  And guess what?
[00:10:59]  President Trump filled up those reserves when he was in office when oil became very, very cheap.
[00:11:07]  But it's bad policy.
[00:11:08]  Even CNBC admits it.
[00:11:10]  Former Trump Energy Secretary says releasing oil from reserves is bad policy choice.
[00:11:15]  President Joe Biden on Tuesday, this would have been back in 2021, actually, announced that he was releasing 50 million barrels of oil.
[00:11:22]  He would release the country's strategic petroleum reserve.
[00:11:26]  The problem is that it's bad policy.
[00:11:29]  There's no question about that, says Dan Broulette.
[00:11:36]  It's bad policy because it's an emergency supply.
[00:11:42]  And the only emergency that we have here is a political emergency from an administration that won't open up the oil production sector in this economy.
[00:11:52]  So who else does he blame?
[00:11:54]  He blames Putin.
[00:11:56]  He blames Ultra MAGA.
[00:11:57]  He says we have no plan on the conservative side.
[00:12:01]  It's very, very simple.
[00:12:03]  Do the opposite of whatever the Democrats are doing.
[00:12:05]  We have to reign in spending.
[00:12:07]  We have to reign in spending.
[00:12:09]  I think in the next segment with Alex Marlow, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart, we're going to talk about some of the new proposed spending, this time going to Ukraine.
[00:12:17]  Tracking up the credit card.
[00:12:18]  No big deal.
[00:12:20]  Biden asked for $33 billion.
[00:12:23]  The House wants to give him $40.
[00:12:26]  Do the opposite.
[00:12:28]  So here it is from Breitbart News.
[00:12:30]  Joe Biden blames Putin gas tax as gas prices jump to all-time high.
[00:12:36]  He blames ultra MAGA people like Senator Rick Scott from Florida, who we've had on the show a couple of times.
[00:12:44]  And he's got a phenomenal plan that conservatives should follow, mostly to a T. We're very enthusiastic about his plan.
[00:12:52]  But Biden is out there on the defense.
[00:12:54]  And this is from Reuters.
[00:12:56]  Reuters says, Biden to blast Republicans is having no plan on inflation.
[00:13:03]  So he's expecting to sharpen his attacks on Republicans six months before the November 8th congressional elections, where Democrats are hoping to retain control of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
[00:13:14]  So here's what he's saying.
[00:13:15]  He's saying, I don't control all three branches of government.
[00:13:20]  He's saying, yeah, people say that, you know, we're in power, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:13:24]  We're not really in power.
[00:13:24]  Cut 54.
[00:13:27]  Do you believe that you and your administration bear some measure of responsibility for the inflation that we're seeing across the country?
[00:13:33]  First is we're in power.
[00:13:35]  That's the first.
[00:13:37]  And you justifiably write, we control all three branches of the government.
[00:13:42]  Well, we don't really.
[00:13:46]  All three branches.
[00:13:47]  You control the Supreme Court, Biden.
[00:13:50]  That was pretty.
[00:13:51]  This is what we're dealing with here, folks.
[00:13:53]  He doesn't even understand civics.
[00:13:57]  You don't control the Supreme Court, Mr. Biden, but you do control the House and the Senate, and you are the executive.
[00:14:03]  So yeah, you do have power to fix things.
[00:14:05]  You do have power to change the direction of your awful failed policies that are causing inflation to continue to skyrocket.
[00:14:11]  And little spoke of here is that his student loan relief would also increase inflation.
[00:14:20]  Hello, everybody.
[00:14:21]  Charlie Kirk here.
[00:14:22]  Super important announcement.

=== Strict Immigration Rules Needed Now (10:55) ===

[00:15:19]  Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News and the host of Breitbart News Daily.
[00:15:27]  Alex, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:15:29]  Andrew, it's great to be here.
[00:15:30]  I did get a text from vacationing Charlie.
[00:15:32]  Can I read the whole text, you guys?
[00:15:33]  I don't think Charlie will mind.
[00:15:35]  I think he should.
[00:15:36]  Yes.
[00:15:38]  Power debt.
[00:15:40]  He was just trying to be quiet, I think.
[00:15:41]  Yeah, I think he was, you know, he's short and sweet, and that's why we love him on text.
[00:15:46]  I was happy to get the yes.
[00:15:47]  He's a busy guy.
[00:15:48]  You know, I will tell you as somebody who's copied on numerous text chains and the sort with Charlie is that the guy gets just bombarded with messages and he's the quickest replier of two messages that I've ever seen.
[00:16:02]  It's actually a weird like superpower that he has.
[00:16:07]  So we're trying to tell him, you know, decompress, Charlie.
[00:16:10]  Don't be on your phone.
[00:16:12]  Yeah, I have, I cannot relate to that at all.
[00:16:15]  I've been called a hard worker a number of times.
[00:16:18]  I don't refute it.
[00:16:19]  I think it's true.
[00:16:19]  And I cannot be a part of nearly as many text changes as I know Charlie is.
[00:16:24]  And if I am, I'm not replying nearly as quickly.
[00:16:26]  So it's a credit to him.
[00:16:28]  Look, he's great at maintaining relationships.
[00:16:30]  There's no doubt about it.
[00:16:32]  Well, you know, a lot of people, it's funny, you know, I didn't plan on talking about this with you, but, you know, just a little love to Charlie here.
[00:16:38]  A lot of people talk about Charlie as though, you know, I'm talking about his critics on the left mainly here, right?
[00:16:45]  You know, they talk about, you know, everything that he's built and they act like it was some sort of foregone conclusion.
[00:16:52]  Right.
[00:16:53]  And the guy has spent, I mean, countless hours, 20 hour days after 20 hour days building Turning Point USA into the juggernaut that it is, building this show along with yours truly to get it to the point that it is one of the largest shows in the country, where we have great friends like you, Alex, that are truly game changers in the space.
[00:17:14]  Breaking the news, your book we had you on was another game changer.
[00:17:18]  Alex, you're doing tremendous work over Breitbart on your own show, Breitbart News Daily, and obviously as an author.
[00:17:26]  I'm going to Breitbart.
[00:17:28]  I'm going to your homepage right here.
[00:17:30]  Sure.
[00:17:30]  Top of the homepage at Breitbart.com.
[00:17:33]  It prints money.
[00:17:34]  Democrats aim to send 40 billion more to Ukraine, want 20 billion more for COVID funding during 40-year high inflation.
[00:17:44]  Tell us what you know about this.
[00:17:45]  What the heck is going on?
[00:17:47]  Why does Ukraine need $40 billion more?
[00:17:49]  And why do we need 20 billion more for COVID funding?
[00:17:52]  I'm pretty sure the Democrats just like to spend money and then they'll worry about where it's going later.
[00:17:59]  So I just think that whatever is the current thing that's going to get the money.
[00:18:02]  And COVID is here.
[00:18:04]  And anyone who thinks it's not here is purely political.
[00:18:09]  And it's the those of us who have long been skeptical that we'd overreacted to COVID, like, I don't know, from the first week or two, we're all thrilled about it.
[00:18:17]  But if you look at the current rate of people with coronavirus, it's much higher than it was a year ago.
[00:18:21]  The death rate's virtually the same.
[00:18:23]  And I don't think we're getting tested nearly as much because what are you going to do?
[00:18:27]  You're going to opt out of more work?
[00:18:29]  Do we want to shut the economy down more?
[00:18:31]  And every time you get a positive test, I work from home mostly, so it's not a big deal for me, but I know where my wife works at a hospital.
[00:18:37]  You get a positive test.
[00:18:38]  You're on the rack for a week.
[00:18:40]  I mean, it's completely, which is a huge burden on your colleagues.
[00:18:43]  And it's still, we have more cases.
[00:18:45]  So of course, Democrats want to spend more on that.
[00:18:47]  And keep an eye in.
[00:18:49]  I've heard some rumors, the midtermicron variant is coming.
[00:18:52]  This is the special variant that comes right before the midterms in order to make sure the Democrats get to have much more lax voter rules.
[00:19:01]  You may have heard of the 2000 Mules documentary.
[00:19:03]  I think Charlie might.
[00:19:05]  We've heard a thing or two about it.
[00:19:07]  Charlie's in the movie.
[00:19:08]  So yeah, I'm well aware I'm being tongue-in-cheek.
[00:19:12]  But the Ukraine funding is also unbelievable because I tend to try to get a variety of views on war on my show, Breitbart News Daily, which is now a podcast.
[00:19:22]  And at Breitbart, we tend to be pretty much in the MAGA, America First Camp, a very limited military engagement.
[00:19:31]  The surprise bombing of a terrorist here and there is generally pretty effective, but we're pretty limited on this.
[00:19:36]  Even my most hawkish guys I talk to, and there are quite a few, don't think we should be sending this much money to Ukraine anymore.
[00:19:42]  Think it's purely about political stuff and trying to curry favor with the American public, showing that it's the Biden camp that's the most responsible on this issue.
[00:19:51]  But what's striking to me is the media is trying to give Joe Biden credit for being fiscally responsible.
[00:19:57]  The AP had a big article suggesting Biden is restoring fiscal responsibility.
[00:20:02]  Well, how is he doing that?
[00:20:03]  His entire agenda is getting rejected.
[00:20:05]  If Biden did what he wanted, we'd have this record inflation and we could build back better, which is, of course, printing another trillion plus more dollars, which of course would have all gone on the country credit card.
[00:20:16]  We can't afford a penny of it.
[00:20:18]  It's totally insane and financially irresponsible, but yet that's all they have because they have to do something because they can't just sit there and wait for the Republicans to swoop into power in November.
[00:20:28]  You know, I was, I was, I think that's really well said.
[00:20:30]  And I, you know, I think everybody really does need to look at this midterm strategy, right?
[00:20:36]  Because, you know, you've got the Senate Democrats saying that we need more mail-in balloting.
[00:20:41]  This needs to be enshrined in law.
[00:20:42]  They're trying to, they're trying to bake it into some of this current legislation that's passing, right?
[00:20:47]  This COVID $20 billion, I believe it's baked into that, correct?
[00:20:51]  Yeah.
[00:20:51]  So they're trying to basically replay 2020 again and they're tying it to COVID funding Ukrainian funding, which, by the way, the Senate Republicans are going along with the Ukrainian funding.
[00:21:03]  This is the part that's so infuriating.
[00:21:04]  Now, they're trying to sort of broker some sort of deal for Title 42, which I know you are one of the probably the most current on immigration voices in the conservative movement.
[00:21:16]  So I know you know this well.
[00:21:17]  So they're trying to make a trade to say, hey, Biden, you got some centrist Democrats that are starting to push back against Title 42.
[00:21:25]  They let Mr. Kelly in Arizona actually have a vote for once and say, hey, guys, you know, I got this election coming up.
[00:21:32]  Can you let me like talk tough on immigration for like a couple months at least?
[00:21:36]  So you've got these centrist Democrats and these tough races coming up.
[00:21:40]  They do not, at least ostensibly, they don't want to get rid of Title 42.
[00:21:43]  So they're doing this bargaining back and forth.
[00:21:45]  What do you make of it?
[00:21:46]  Is this a good deal or a bad deal for Senate Republicans?
[00:21:49]  Yeah, it's all politics.
[00:21:50]  And I never trust any deal that Senate Republicans are cutting with the Democrats where the Democrats are now because the Democrats have no political capital.
[00:21:58]  And I would just kind of ride it out until November as best I can.
[00:22:01]  So we'll see what the final deal looks like.
[00:22:04]  But Title 42 is the removal of it would be a total disaster for our country.
[00:22:09]  Our border is already overwhelmed.
[00:22:11]  And it looks like Biden is trying to remove it.
[00:22:13]  And if he won't remove it, he'll try to backdoor remove it, meaning kind of remove the enforcement without actually taking the law off the books.
[00:22:20]  Because we have a lunatic who runs our border named Alejandro Mayorkov, the guy who's in charge of putting Nina Jankovitz in the Ministry of Truth.
[00:22:28]  That guy's in charge of our border coverage.
[00:22:31]  And he wants an open border.
[00:22:34]  There's no evidence to me that suggests that he takes border enforcement seriously.
[00:22:37]  And the Title 42 is just one example of this.
[00:22:41]  But in terms of funding, the Republicans are probably playing politics at some level because I do think by and large the public is supportive of Ukraine in their fight against Putin.
[00:22:49]  Putin did invade.
[00:22:50]  I know it's slightly more complicated than that.
[00:22:53]  And I'm sure some people in Charlie's audience want nothing to do with the situation at all.
[00:22:57]  But I think by and large, the public wants to show some support for Ukraine without putting boots on the ground or without spending too much.
[00:23:04]  So the question is, what is that?
[00:23:06]  And probably the answer is we've done what we needed to do.
[00:23:09]  They got like $13 billion in March.
[00:23:12]  That seems like it seems like plenty.
[00:23:14]  We don't need to do 40 more.
[00:23:15]  And if we do 40 more, who's to say there won't be another 80 and another 100?
[00:23:19]  And then before you know it, you guys are working until January the 19th of your year just to pay, just to make enough taxes to pay for Ukraine's border war against Russia, which is insane because we have an open border that we should be protecting here.
[00:23:34]  It's really well said, Alex.
[00:23:35]  And actually, as you just, you were laying all that out.
[00:23:38]  It just got me completely infuriated at another level.
[00:23:41]  I mean, I live in a sense of sort of like subdued and, you know, just anger at our southern border.
[00:23:48]  Charlie knows, you know, basically my red pilling, my red pilling event.
[00:23:52]  Yeah, I was born into a conservative household, but my red pilling event, really, if you really want to know what kind of got me was living in California and watching open border nonsense affect our schools.
[00:24:02]  And it's, you know, it's not about Hispanics.
[00:24:05]  It's not about these people that many of them are great people.
[00:24:08]  Nobody's talking about that.
[00:24:10]  What we're talking about is that it offends a sense of justice.
[00:24:13]  It offends a sense of rule of law.
[00:24:15]  It offends a sense of doing it the right way.
[00:24:18]  And here's, Alex, I'm just going to add to your point about Title 42.
[00:24:23]  Listen, I mean, the Remain in Mexico policy, right?
[00:24:27]  MPP, right?
[00:24:29]  The judge overturns the Biden administration, their order on it.
[00:24:33]  So they have to reinstate it.
[00:24:34]  But guess what?
[00:24:35]  They're not following it.
[00:24:36]  From an executive execution level, they're basically sort of doing it in name only, but they're not really following it.
[00:24:43]  They're not enforcing it like Trump was, where it actually had some teeth on it and it was doing the job that it was designed to do.
[00:24:48]  Now, the same thing's going to happen with Title 42.
[00:24:50]  So a warning to Senate Republicans: if you make a deal with the devil, don't be surprised when you get burned.
[00:24:56]  Don't be surprised when the guy that's pulling the levers of the executive branch is basically saying, hey, you know, turn the other cheek.
[00:25:02]  Let's let we've got it.
[00:25:04]  You know, we've got to play some lip service to this, but let's not really enforce it.
[00:25:08]  We've seen this time and time again, right, Alex?
[00:25:10]  You have covered it for years.
[00:25:11]  Don't make a deal with the devil.
[00:25:13]  No, you nailed it.
[00:25:14]  And my red pilling moment is similar, even though I've always been on the right, an activist, right?
[00:25:19]  And I was the first employee of Breitbart.
[00:25:21]  But I stopped playing patty cakes with the establishment.
[00:25:23]  When we learned after Mitt Romney got his clock cleaned by Barack Obama, who wasn't that popular at the time, and wasted about three, it wasted about $3 billion of donor money, money that could have gone not just other candidates, but could have gone to other conservative infrastructure that we need.
[00:25:39]  And good for you guys, by the way, we could talk about you guys trying to do some of that on your own.
[00:25:43]  I think that's amazing.
[00:25:45]  But it is after that, they put out this autopsy report, the Republicans did, and they determined that Republicans were too tough on immigration, that they needed more open borders, more amnesty, and more pandering to the Latinxes.
[00:25:58]  And as it turns out, Donald Trump and the anti-establishment movement that Breitbart was integral in, we went a total other direction.
[00:26:05]  We need a strict immigration rules.
[00:26:07]  We need a strong border and the voters will come to us.
[00:26:10]  And now we know the answer.
[00:26:11]  The answer is Breitbart and Trump and the America First Crowd was correct.

=== MyPillow Promo Code Kirk (03:16) ===

[00:26:15]  The majority of Americans, including Hispanics, want Title 42 kept on.
[00:26:20]  And 65% of U.S. Hispanics now support closing the border until the immigration crisis is solved.
[00:26:25]  And yet you're not going to see Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan come out and apologize.
[00:26:29]  Well, it's because they are beholden.
[00:26:31]  All that is so well said, Alex.
[00:26:33]  They are beholden to these white, liberal, upper echelon elites that have too much education for their own good.
[00:26:40]  They're educated beyond their intelligence.
[00:26:42]  And they have been indoctrinated into hating common sense, hating practicality.
[00:26:47]  But you're absolutely right.
[00:26:49]  What we are seeing happen in the Latin or the Hispanic community, Latinx, as you said, and we're seeing happen in that community, it's not just white working class people that are abandoning the Democrat Party right now.
[00:27:01]  They think that the Hispanics will stay with them.
[00:27:04]  That's not what's happening.
[00:27:05]  There is a crisis in the Democrat Party.
[00:27:07]  They are panicking behind closed doors because they know that these wokesters, these Ivyschool educated elites, white elites are driving away working class Hispanics and even some blacks.
[00:27:18]  And there's more of that's going to be coming out in the next months and years, really, as this political reestablishment, this realignment is happening.

[00:28:29]  The great Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart.com, Breitbart News, and host of Breitbart News Daily, podcast you all need to check out.
[00:28:38]  So please check that out.
[00:28:39]  And actually, author of Breaking the News, which we covered extensively when you launched that book.
[00:28:45]  It's still very relevant today.
[00:28:46]  You were saying it was still in the news, Alex.
[00:28:48]  Yeah, it's unbelievable.
[00:28:49]  It got a front page right up.
[00:28:51]  I actually lead story right up the New York Post.
[00:28:53]  Daily Mill covered it.
[00:28:54]  A lot of like a dozen places covered it last week because I was the first person probably to put a bit of a stink up about the fact that the deputy White House press secretary, a lady named Corine John Pierre, is married to a Washington anchor and national correspondent at CNN, a lady named Suzanne Malvo.
[00:29:11]  And we know how that goes when CNN is related to the Democrats are supposed to cover.
[00:29:16]  See what happened to Cuomo Brothers doesn't typically go very well.
[00:29:19]  And I pointed this out in my book, which came out almost a year ago.
[00:29:22]  And people are just realizing, hey, that was a pretty good point because now she's going to be the actual press secretary.
[00:29:28]  And then she will literally go home at night and be in bed with the anchor of CNN.

=== Conflicts of Interest Exposed (04:04) ===

[00:29:31]  Pretty outrageous, I would say.
[00:29:34]  You're right.
[00:29:34]  That didn't go so well the first time around, did it?
[00:29:36]  With the family relations, the conflicts of interest.
[00:29:39]  Yeah.
[00:29:42]  That's great reporting, Alex.
[00:29:43]  Wait, what's the host from CNN?
[00:29:46]  Suzanne Malvo.
[00:29:47]  She's the national correspondent.
[00:29:48]  She's based in Washington and she's also an anchor on the network.
[00:29:52]  And, you know, it's just how it goes.
[00:29:54]  And it's just one of many ties of familial, familiar, literally in bed ties of Biden world and the media that's supposed to cover it.
[00:30:04]  Wow.
[00:30:05]  That's just unbelievable.
[00:30:07]  So breaking the news, folks.
[00:30:08]  I mean, and I bet, Alex, to your great credit, because I know it's extensively researched.
[00:30:14]  Go buy the book because there's still, I bet, five or six more of those front page stories in there that people are going to warm up to eventually that you were ahead of the curve on.
[00:30:24]  So let's talk about baby formula, Alex.
[00:30:27]  So we are currently sending 60, we're about to spend 60 billion more dollars, 40 of it sending that to Ukraine, 20 of it on COVID and the emergency, the mid-termicron, I think, variant, as you called it.
[00:30:43]  So we're spending money to defend Ukraine's borders.
[00:30:46]  We are not defending our own.
[00:30:48]  We're actually actively trying to open our borders, it seems, and Title 42, certainly.
[00:30:55]  So we're spending all this money on other people's problems.
[00:30:58]  And yet, we have this problem here at home called a baby formula shortage.
[00:31:03]  What do you know about it?
[00:31:05]  And is the Biden administration even doing anything?
[00:31:07]  Well, I know a lot because I have a three-month-old and her formula is very hard to find.
[00:31:12]  And I have to go and I think I go about five miles to the one place that has it.
[00:31:16]  And I always clean out the shelves.
[00:31:17]  And then there's none for any of the other families.
[00:31:20]  And it's just, this is something that's happening across the board.
[00:31:23]  I think something like 40% of the top brands now are out, like not just understocked or flat out, not available for people at the moment.
[00:31:33]  And this is a combination of there was a recall that was done by Abbott Laboratories, which people are familiar with their coronavirus past.
[00:31:42]  They manufacture a lot of the top formulas and they were called because there were a few instances of sickness for babies who were having the formulas.
[00:31:50]  So that's caused problems.
[00:31:51]  But the vast, vast, vast majority of it is simply supply chain.
[00:31:54]  So remember, Big Joey the Biden promised that not only was he going to unify the country and have America's economy rolling back, he also said he was going to shut down the coronavirus.
[00:32:03]  Well, the coronavirus pandemic is still causing supply chain issues that are rippling.
[00:32:07]  This is not the third world, Andrew.
[00:32:09]  This is the United States of America, major metropolitan areas cannot get basic stuff like baby formula.
[00:32:14]  This is the type of stuff at Breitbart.
[00:32:15]  We've been reporting on for years about baby formula getting smuggled into communist China from parts of the world.
[00:32:20]  Are we going to have to start smuggling in baby formula now from communist China because Joe Biden can't get his act together?
[00:32:25]  It's unbelievable.
[00:32:26]  It's a total disgrace.
[00:32:27]  And I don't mean to only blame Biden because there's other people involved, but I do.
[00:32:30]  He's been the president for a while and this should not be happening in this country.
[00:32:33]  Yeah, things are getting worse.
[00:32:35]  They're not getting better.
[00:32:36]  So I think at this point, you know, you can't just pass the buck.
[00:32:39]  You can't blame Trump.
[00:32:40]  You can't blame Ultra MAGA.
[00:32:42]  You can't blame Putin.
[00:32:43]  You got to, the buck has to stop with you, Joe Biden.
[00:32:46]  Has to stop with you.
[00:32:47]  And by the way, this is what's infuriating.
[00:32:49]  Do you, I mean, I remember when Joe Biden was, you know, talking about how he's going to run the Los Angeles port at 24-7, 365.
[00:32:58]  He's going to double up the cruise.
[00:32:59]  Like, what happened to all this?
[00:33:00]  Like, why?
[00:33:01]  Why are we still having this?
[00:33:02]  Why are we spending more money after fewer goods, driving up inflation?
[00:33:06]  And why are you still not getting the memo, Mr. Biden?
[00:33:10]  It's infuriating.
[00:33:11]  They pushed the ships beyond the horizon so the journalists could stop taking photos.
[00:33:15]  And they realized that the 24-second port being open was not actually the solution.
[00:33:20]  So everyone just dropped it because they had no good narrative.
[00:33:22]  They pivoted.
[00:33:23]  Again, they pivoted.
[00:33:24]  Alex, it's always a pleasure to have you.
[00:33:26]  Thank you for all the work that you do.
[00:33:27]  Thank you for all the research, investigative reporting that you guys are doing at Breitbart, Breitbart News Daily.
