Duration: 37:25


=== The Shadow Government Revealed (11:00) ===

[00:00:00]  Hello, everybody.
[00:00:00]  Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we recap a crazy week.
[00:00:03]  We talk about the administrative state, otherwise known as the shadow government.
[00:00:07]  I think one of the silver linings of the occupation and raid at Mar-a-Lago is people are waking up that there is a shadow government in our country where punishment is arbitrary and we are ruled by a council of experts.
[00:00:20]  What do we do about it?
[00:00:20]  We talk about it, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:00:23]  And then Tyler Boyer joins us from Turning Point Action.
[00:00:25]  We have amazing events coming up in Phoenix, Youngtown, Ohio, and Pittsburgh.
[00:00:29]  If you're listening to this in Arizona and you want to join us on Sunday, go to tpaction.com.
[00:00:34]  We have Blake Masters, Kerry Lake, and Ron DeSantis.
[00:00:38]  Also, I make an error here where I say that voting is on Saturday in Alaska.
[00:00:42]  That is not true.
[00:00:44]  And also, Tyler makes an error where he says that if you vote in ranked choice voting, it doesn't count.
[00:00:53]  It's very confusing, but I just wanted to clarify for all of you.
[00:00:56]  Meaning, if you only vote for one person, it doesn't count all the way through.
[00:00:59]  According to Alaska law, that will count, but you won't be counted in the second or third if your candidate doesn't proceed.
[00:01:05]  If your head is spinning and you're confused, you need to listen to the whole episode because Tyler gives a phenomenally important warning about ranked choice voting and how it could destroy the MAGA movement.

[00:01:42]  Here we go.
[00:01:43]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:01:45]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:01:47]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:50]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:54]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:55]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:56]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:02:04]  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.
[00:02:13]  That's why we are here.
[00:02:16]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:02:24]  What do Anthony Fauci and Merrick Garland have in common?
[00:02:28]  I know they're both craven old men that are using their twilight years to terrorize a majority of the country, and they're both approximately five feet tall with no Napoleon syndrome, by the way, trying to tell us how to live our lives and using their power for evil.
[00:02:49]  But they're also creatures of the administrative state.
[00:02:53]  Now, as we talk about on this program, the Constitution authorizes three types of power.
[00:02:58]  We all learned this in school.
[00:02:59]  It's very basic.
[00:03:01]  The legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch.
[00:03:06]  How does the administrative state, though, fit into that arrangement?
[00:03:09]  And the answer is it doesn't.
[00:03:11]  If you go all the way back to 1887, Congress created the Interstate Commerce Commission.
[00:03:19]  It was expanded decades later, but it was almost this fourth branch of government, the birth of the fourth branch of government.
[00:03:24]  And it was no coincidence that happened in the late 1800s.
[00:03:27]  This was where the focus on scientism was born.
[00:03:31]  Industrial Revolution, people start to think they could perfect man.
[00:03:34]  We need the council of experts, the administrators that know best.
[00:03:38]  We have allowed over the last hundred years the administrative state, also called the deep state or the shadow government, to do whatever they want to do with very little check or balance or transparency being demanded.
[00:03:55]  Now, we beat this drum relentlessly with the serpent, the criminal, Anthony Fauci, with what he did against humanity, unaccountable, unknown, unelected, fourth branch of government bureaucrats.
[00:04:08]  But Merrick Garland is exactly the same.
[00:04:11]  Now, this is a very important point.
[00:04:12]  We're going to play some pieces of tape here from Merrick Garland's press conference yesterday.
[00:04:17]  But don't be too focused on Merrick Garland, the person, because Merrick Garland is an interchangeable part.
[00:04:24]  Merrick Garland is a small widget that could be easily replaced, as easy as going to Home Depot and getting a washer that you might be missing or a nail for your deck.
[00:04:36]  Merrick Garland is not valued by the machine.
[00:04:39]  He's not necessary for the machine.
[00:04:41]  He's a temporary, interchangeable part that thinks he's going to be remembered.
[00:04:45]  In reality, he will be enveloped very soon by the very machine that he has always worshipped his entire life, the state, the Leviathan, the albatross.
[00:04:54]  So as we talk about Merrick Garland, we shouldn't talk about Merrick Garland, the person, or Anthony Fauci, the person.
[00:05:01]  We should talk about the borg.
[00:05:03]  Talk about this machine, this all-encompassing monstrosity that seems overwhelming.
[00:05:12]  It's the monstrosity that invaded Mar-a-Lago.
[00:05:15]  It is the machine that came in, guns drawn, 30 FBI agents for nine and a half hours for 270 man hours.
[00:05:29]  The problem with the administrative state is that it's so arbitrary.
[00:05:33]  They get to choose who they target.
[00:05:35]  The law is not the guide of the shadow government.
[00:05:39]  The bureaucrat is.
[00:05:42]  So when Merrick Garland comes out and he says, well, we don't take these decisions lightly and we take this all into consideration.
[00:05:49]  What he's really saying is, I'm in charge.
[00:05:52]  But he really isn't in charge.
[00:05:53]  His council of experts are in charge, but they all think the same.
[00:05:57]  They all have the same beliefs.
[00:05:58]  They send their kids to the same schools.
[00:06:00]  They vote for the same candidates.
[00:06:02]  They all are deep down, very miserable.
[00:06:04]  What do they worship?
[00:06:06]  What is their metaphysical belief?
[00:06:08]  They don't believe in God the way you and I would.
[00:06:10]  Maybe they might say they do.
[00:06:11]  No, no, they worship at the church of the state.
[00:06:16]  They are statists.
[00:06:18]  I'm a Christian.
[00:06:18]  Some of you are deists.
[00:06:19]  Some of you are Jews.
[00:06:21]  Some of you are people that might be Hindus or Muslims.
[00:06:24]  Fauci and Garland worship the state.
[00:06:28]  You see, the totalitarian machine is historically the norm.
[00:06:34]  The United States has been so incredibly, some would say lucky, some would be thankful, to be immune to this sort of administrative state tyranny.
[00:06:46]  Now, the administrative state, shadow government is what we call it, deep state, has been so, let's just say, unknown to most Americans for many years.
[00:06:56]  Donald Trump revealed a lot of this.
[00:06:58]  But what I think many people underestimated is the shadow government doesn't stop caring about you just because you left office.
[00:07:06]  They must purge the ranks of non-believers.
[00:07:09]  Yesterday, Merrick Garland addressed the country.
[00:07:13]  Let's play Cut 78.
[00:07:14]  Attorney General Merrick Garland says he personally approved the decision for the Justice Department to seek a warrant of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
[00:07:20]  I'm going to tell you why he worded it this way, in my opinion.
[00:07:24]  Play Cut 78.
[00:07:25]  First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter.
[00:07:32]  Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly.
[00:07:36]  Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.
[00:07:47]  When have you ever seen a bureaucrat take personal responsibility?
[00:07:51]  Almost never.
[00:07:53]  So the reason that Merrick Garland did this is two-pronged.
[00:07:56]  Number one, Merrick Garland is seeking revenge and he just doesn't care.
[00:08:00]  Merrick Garland is angry.
[00:08:01]  He's not a Supreme Court justice and Merrick Garland is happy to almost own it.
[00:08:06]  Number two, I don't think Merrick Garland lasts much longer.
[00:08:09]  You see, if Merrick Garland went in front of there and he said, if he instead said this was done through the Department of Justice in unanimous agreement, well, then a resignation of Merrick Garland actually wouldn't solve the problem.
[00:08:21]  You see, the more Merrick Garland takes personal responsibility, the more the situation gets diffused when Merrick Garland resigns and Republicans take over Congress.
[00:08:30]  For example, let's say Merrick Garland resigns by Christmas, of which is my prediction.
[00:08:34]  Merrick Garland probably won't make it to the Republican Congress.
[00:08:37]  I think he gets out ahead of time.
[00:08:38]  We could be wrong, usually on top of the stuff.
[00:08:40]  So if Merrick Garland resigns, what are Republicans then supposed to oversee?
[00:08:44]  His replacement, his predecessor, the replacement would just say, well, that was my predecessor.
[00:08:48]  I didn't approve that raid.
[00:08:50]  And instead, if Merrick Garland said this was the institution, then all of a sudden that oversight, the commission that should be coming, the Church and Pike Committee equivalent, would have something to latch onto.
[00:09:00]  No, no, no.
[00:09:01]  Garland is trying to say it's all me because a scapegoat is necessary for the backlash and how poorly this is being received by the American people.
[00:09:10]  That's what's really going on here.
[00:09:12]  Whether or not Merrick Garland personally approved it or not is irrelevant.
[00:09:15]  There's evidence to show both ways.
[00:09:17]  I do believe, though, that Merrick Garland was informed.
[00:09:20]  I think it's more likely that Joe Biden, well, not Joe Biden, or maybe Kamala Harris or some other deep state thug, shadow government cartel member of our system, approved it.
[00:09:30]  It's much more likely in that regard.
[00:09:33]  But don't be distracted.
[00:09:35]  Don't look at what they want you to look at.
[00:09:37]  Oh, I'm so angry at Merrick Garland.
[00:09:39]  He's an interchangeable part.
[00:09:40]  He'll be gone sometime soon.
[00:09:42]  He's not going to be there forever.
[00:09:43]  They're going to get some younger, more charismatic, more radical attorney general sometime soon.
[00:09:49]  No, Merrick Garland is sticking his neck out for the sole purpose to try to blunt the backlash when Republicans take back Congress, when they do their oversight.
[00:10:01]  The next person who has to get sworn in will say, well, Merrick Garland is no longer Attorney General.
[00:10:06]  What do you guys have for us now?
[00:10:08]  Instead, if Merrick Garland said it's the position of every U.S. attorney, it's the position of my deputies.
[00:10:13]  We all agreed this was the right thing.
[00:10:15]  Well, then you have a scandal.
[00:10:18]  Instead, the media will praise Garland for his courage and his tenacity, despite the overreach, the invasion, the occupation of a political dissident and soon-to-be political opponent.
[00:10:31]  And they're already in full freak out and spin mode.
[00:10:33]  I'm going to tell you what that is.
[00:10:35]  Some could possibly say that the media is going nuclear over all of this.
[00:10:42]  But remember, the administrative state is outside the structure of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay of the Federalist Papers.
[00:10:49]  It's outside the structure and the promise of the United States Constitution.
[00:10:54]  It's outside what the Constitution guaranteed to protect our God-given liberties and freedoms.

=== Republicans Finally Stand Up (06:08) ===

[00:11:00]  The shadow government, the administrative state, has existed for so long.
[00:11:04]  And in constitutional legal circles, we've talked about it before, and we need checks and balances and consent to the governed.
[00:11:10]  What that raid did, if we explain it properly, showed in no uncertain terms who actually currently runs the country, jack-booted thugs that are able to come into Mar-a-Lago and invade a sacred political site for cocktail napkins.
[00:11:31]  Charlie Kirk here, MyPillow is having their biggest sheet sale of the year.

[00:12:28]  One of the things that frustrates me most is when people run as grassroots conservatives and then they legislate and govern as moderates.
[00:12:37]  I have some major philosophical and political differences with Senator Collins from Maine.
[00:12:42]  I will say though, Senator Collins, Senator Susan Collins, she never runs as a grassroots conservative.
[00:12:48]  You know what you're getting when you vote for Senator Collins.
[00:12:51]  It's not my cup of tea.
[00:12:52]  It's not my taste.
[00:12:54]  But one of my concerns, though, and I think a lot of you agree, is that you have Senator Lindsey Graham who pretends he's super conservative and does the opposite.
[00:13:03]  I want more people to just be very clear with their voters about what they believe and why they believe it.
[00:13:12]  And honestly, good for Susan Collins.
[00:13:13]  Susan Collins, who is a moderate, very, very, let's just say, middle-of-the-road Republican.
[00:13:22]  I think she has integrity.
[00:13:24]  Now, some of you say, oh, Charlie, she's a rhino and all of that.
[00:13:27]  Well, think about it, though.
[00:13:28]  She doesn't ever pretend to be one of us.
[00:13:32]  I respect that.
[00:13:33]  Not everyone has to agree with us.
[00:13:35]  You know what?
[00:13:35]  It makes me very angry when people run with us and they want our support.
[00:13:40]  They want to come on our shows.
[00:13:41]  They want your donations.
[00:13:43]  And then they become the opposite, like Tom Tillis from North Carolina.
[00:13:49]  I could go around the horn.
[00:13:51]  So Susan Collins, being an outspoken moderate, says cut 97, Donald Trump's raid, cut 97.
[00:14:00]  It is unprecedented in our history for the FBI to raid the house of a former president.
[00:14:10]  Now, we don't know the details yet.
[00:14:14]  I found it shocking.
[00:14:17]  But again, I think the Justice Department needs to release more information on what the basis was for the FBI raid.
[00:14:28]  If in fact it only had to do with disputes over documents, this seems to me to be an excessive move on the part of the Justice Department.
[00:14:43]  But until I know the facts, it's very hard for me to judge.
[00:14:48]  Now, look, again, she's a moderate.
[00:14:50]  She's not going to use the language that we would like, but it does show that even the Republican establishment is starting to stand up in this particular regard.
[00:14:59]  Going back to yesterday, Merrick Garland continued, where he says, I will not stand by silently when the integrity of the FBI is unfairly attacked.
[00:15:08]  Oh, really?
[00:15:09]  We're supposed to trust the FBI after the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping scandal.
[00:15:13]  Who planted the pipe bombs on January 5th, by the way, at the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee?
[00:15:19]  How about the dirty dossier with Bruce Senellior and Peter Struckstroke Smirk and Lisa Page?
[00:15:25]  Were those people ever held accountable?
[00:15:27]  You're not going to sit, stand silently by Merrick Garland while the FBI raided James O'Keefe's apartment illegally, Rudy Giuliani's apartment and broke lawyer client privilege.
[00:15:40]  How about when the Federal Bureau of Investigation went after John Eastman and took his cell phone, Scott Perry and took his cell phone, Peter Navarro and put him in leg irons, a public humiliation.
[00:15:53]  We're not supposed to talk about any of that.
[00:15:54]  Merrick Garland, Clay Cut 77.
[00:15:57]  I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.
[00:16:03]  The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants.
[00:16:11]  Every day, they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism, and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights.
[00:16:21]  Garland continued by praising the FBI and the rule of law as the bedrock of the justice system and democracy.
[00:16:29]  Play Cut 79.
[00:16:31]  Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy.
[00:16:40]  Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor.
[00:16:47]  Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing.
[00:16:52]  The rule of law is not the bedrock of the Department of Justice.
[00:16:55]  The religion of statism is.
[00:16:58]  They worship at the altar of the Leviathan.
[00:17:02]  They couldn't care less about the rule of law, about justice being an ideal.

=== Rule of Law vs Statism (15:41) ===

[00:17:09]  It is a load of garbage to hear that.
[00:17:12]  They violate the Constitution on a daily, hourly basis.
[00:17:17]  And he did not even begin to explain why 30 FBI agents after prior cooperation was happening needed to go desecrate a sacred political site, one of which millions of Americans consider to be the Southern Winter White House or the Winter White House.
[00:17:37]  Why is all of a sudden that going to happen by the FBI?
[00:17:40]  The administrative state has been revealed for who they are.
[00:17:46]  Look, we talk about current events a lot on this show, but there's other things that are in life that are bigger than current events, bigger things.
[00:17:51]  We try to do some shows every so often on these things.
[00:17:54]  But look, what am I talking about when I say that?
[00:17:57]  How about good and evil?
[00:17:58]  Right and wrong, prayer and the Bible or heaven and hell.
[00:18:01]  So look, the great C.S. Lewis, who's one of the most amazing minds ever to exist, who's a master at addressing these questions.
[00:18:10]  And that is why Hillsdale College, the great college, the only college, in my opinion, wants you to learn more about him and his writings and their newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.
[00:18:22]  And it all starts with taking a short quiz to find out how much you already know about Lewis.
[00:18:27]  He wrote more than the Narnia series, by the way.
[00:18:30]  Look, Hillsdale College is amazing.
[00:18:32]  They defend liberty.
[00:18:33]  They pursue truth.
[00:18:34]  They do a great job.
[00:18:36]  So just write this down.
[00:18:37]  This should be your go-to resource.
[00:18:38]  Remember, I have taken 16 of their online courses, and I have promised Dr. Arne I'm eventually going to finish them all.
[00:18:44]  Go to charlie4hillsdale.com to take this fun, interactive quiz, and then sign up for this free course.
[00:18:50]  The answers may even surprise you, even if you think you know everything about C.S. Lewis.
[00:18:54]  They surprised me, my goodness.
[00:18:56]  The quiz, the course, and everything you learn at Hillsdale College are yours for free, as always.
[00:19:00]  So take the C.S. Lewis quiz, charlie4hillsdale.com.
[00:19:04]  That is charlie4hillsdale.com.
[00:19:06]  Take as many online courses as you can.
[00:19:08]  The Constitution course is amazing, but their C.S. Lewis course is extraordinary.
[00:19:14]  And by the way, Hillsdale College, just phenomenal.

[00:19:22]  Tyler Boyer is here, who runs Turning Point Action.
[00:19:24]  Tyler, welcome back.
[00:19:25]  Hey, Charlie, how you doing?
[00:19:26]  We're doing great and got a big weekend ahead.
[00:19:28]  Oh, huge weekend.
[00:19:30]  Tell us about it.
[00:19:31]  We have Governor Ron DeSantis making his first stop outside of the state of Florida here with us at Turning Point Action in Arizona.
[00:19:38]  And so Ron has been kind enough.
[00:19:41]  We grabbed him backstage.
[00:19:42]  We're like, hey, we need you in Arizona as soon as this primary is over.
[00:19:45]  Yep.
[00:19:45]  He's like, heck yes, you bet I'll come out.
[00:19:47]  And he's coming.
[00:19:49]  And it's going to be one of the largest political events, I think, in Arizona this year.
[00:19:53]  We already have thousands upon thousands of people.
[00:19:56]  We had to move to the largest venue theater venue that we could find.
[00:20:00]  Which is where we hosted Trump last year for our event.
[00:20:02]  Pretty historically.
[00:20:03]  It's huge.
[00:20:04]  It was huge.
[00:20:04]  And that's what really set the tone for the Arizona race last year, anyways.
[00:20:07]  And so we're really excited.
[00:20:09]  Governor DeSantis is going to be with the great Carrie Lake, the inspirational Blake Masters.
[00:20:15]  And then we're going to be focusing on all our big W's, which Arizona had a ton of wins legislatively.
[00:20:22]  And so Warren Peterson, who is in the state Senate, he's awesome.
[00:20:27]  One of the greatest conservatives is going to be shouting out a lot of those wins for us.
[00:20:31]  And so you want to be there.
[00:20:33]  It's historic.
[00:20:34]  You're not going to want to miss this.
[00:20:35]  It really, it's akin to the Trump rally that we hosted in 2015, I think, which is a big turning point in Arizona history where we're actually taking back conservative ground and building the wall, not just along the southern border, but along the California border and saying we're going to stop the insane California policies from coming into Arizona.
[00:20:54]  I love it.
[00:20:54]  tpaction.com slash DeSantis.
[00:20:58]  DeSantis.
[00:20:58]  Yep.
[00:20:59]  And we have to unite and win.
[00:21:00]  That is the whole theme of it.
[00:21:02]  The polls are showing Blake Masters and Carrie Lake have a lot of work to do.
[00:21:05]  Blake in particular, I think that just is primarily because of the divided race that he had.
[00:21:12]  Blake had a ton of opposition.
[00:21:15]  He was only one of six prominent candidates to start.
[00:21:19]  Carrie was on a one-on-one race.
[00:21:20]  And so she actually, a poll just came out that showed her plus 11 with Hispanics, which is really indicative of what's happening across the country.
[00:21:29]  Carrie Lake, plus 11 with Hispanics.
[00:21:31]  Yes.
[00:21:31]  And she'll win the governors, if that's true.
[00:21:33]  If that holds.
[00:21:34]  She wins by 10 points.
[00:21:35]  She's going to win by a lot.
[00:21:36]  So, yeah, you got to feel really bad if you're Katie Hobbes.
[00:21:39]  Well, Katie Hobbes is a racist.
[00:21:41]  What?
[00:21:41]  What poll was that?
[00:21:42]  It was done by an outside group.
[00:21:44]  Oh, wow.
[00:21:44]  It was actually done by a Democratic-leaning firm.
[00:21:46]  So, yeah, they're sweating bullets over there.
[00:21:50]  And Katie Hobbs, you know, was a twice convicted racist and had issues with firing a black employee after complaining that she was being intimidated and kind of pushed out in the workplace.
[00:22:05]  And so, you know, Katie Hobbes isn't doing good with the Hispanic population in Arizona and with the black population.
[00:22:11]  And so, you know, it's looking really, really grim for Democrats in Arizona.
[00:22:15]  We're keeping our eyes on it.
[00:22:16]  So this Sunday, we're doing Phoenix, Arizona.
[00:22:18]  And then also we have two others really quick.
[00:22:20]  Yeah.
[00:22:21]  Youngstown, Ohio.
[00:22:22]  Youngstown, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
[00:22:24]  On the 19th.
[00:22:25]  That's a week from today.
[00:22:26]  A lot of Pittsburgh Penguin fans in that territory.
[00:22:29]  We're really excited to come out.
[00:22:31]  I know JD is excited.
[00:22:32]  JD is going to be there in Youngstown, Ohio, rallying with Governor DeSantis.
[00:22:36]  And then in Pittsburgh, we're going to have the wonderful Douglas Astriano.
[00:22:41]  Oh, man, one of the greatest candidates in the country.
[00:22:43]  If we can get him elected, the country would be a great place to be.
[00:22:45]  Oh, man.
[00:22:45]  Douglas Astriano is so great.
[00:22:47]  He's so the best.
[00:22:48]  So I want to talk to you about Alaska.
[00:22:50]  Alaska does elections on Saturdays, which is kind of interesting.
[00:22:54]  So tomorrow, yeah, I don't quite understand it.
[00:22:57]  They have Senator Murkowski, Total Rhino, who I believe in voted, I think, voted for impeachment, if I'm not mistaken.
[00:23:04]  Murky Murkowski.
[00:23:05]  Yep.
[00:23:06]  Who very suspiciously kind of was able to get elected through a write-in campaign.
[00:23:10]  The whole thing's very bizarre.
[00:23:12]  But I want to focus on something more broadly for the rest of our national audience, which is ranked choice voting.
[00:23:19]  Yes.
[00:23:19]  Alaska has now moved to ranked choice voting.
[00:23:22]  They didn't have it before.
[00:23:22]  Is that right?
[00:23:23]  So here's what you need to know.
[00:23:26]  Every single person within the sound of my voice needs to understand that the future of the Republican Party and the Republic depend on you fighting ranked choice voting.
[00:23:36]  So, what ranked choice voting is, is a system that they've instituted, oddly enough, in states that have very moderate senators.
[00:23:45]  And the reason for that, I think, is because the ranked choice voting system basically enables only moderates to ever get elected.
[00:23:54]  And here's the reason why.
[00:23:55]  Basically, how it works, and proponents of ranked choice voting will lie to you.
[00:23:58]  They will tell you all sorts of different reasons why it's awesome, including saving money and eliminating primaries and eliminating extra runoff elections and all of that.
[00:24:06]  The reality is, is that their goal is they want to eliminate the party primaries and they want to bump out conservatives.
[00:24:14]  And here's the reason why how ranked choice voting works is on a ballot, essentially what happens is you rank each of the candidates one, two, three, four.
[00:24:24]  So let's say there's in like Alaska, you have a conservative, a moderate establishment, rhino Republican, and a Democrat.
[00:24:32]  You have to rank all of them one, two, three, right?
[00:24:34]  So if you're in a state even with a minority Democrats, the Democrats then will always rank the moderate Republican second after their Democrat choice.
[00:24:44]  And the conservatives will rank the moderate Republicans second.
[00:24:48]  And then so if you don't break the 50% threshold, and I'm oversimplifying it, but you don't break the over, then basically your automatic vote goes to that second place person.
[00:24:57]  So almost always the second place person will win and the moderate will win no matter even if you're in a state that's 45% conservative.
[00:25:07]  So the proponents of ranked choice voting will say that it de-radicalizes our politics, that it helps us get more consensus.
[00:25:15]  That's where they're going to trend to.
[00:25:17]  The first place they start is that they're saving money because they're not having to cost the state in runoffs.
[00:25:23]  Even some of the, in a lot of states, so in Utah, they've implemented ranked choice.
[00:25:27]  Utah, be aware, be on high alert and alarm.
[00:25:30]  You should be totally alarmed.
[00:25:31]  They're preparing this for the Mitt Romney election.
[00:25:33]  Just so you know, this is the exact same thing with Murkowski, is that they'll say, let's just implement this just for primaries and it won't affect the general.
[00:25:43]  And then, but all of a sudden, you've let the camel's nose in the tent and all of a sudden you're going to wake up with a camel inside your tent and you're going to have ranked choice voting all the way down.
[00:25:51]  Yeah.
[00:25:51]  And I just want to re-emphasize this.
[00:25:52]  So tomorrow when Alaskans go to the polls, it's not going to be like, well, do you like Murkowski or do you like Tishbaka?
[00:25:58]  They have to put in order which candidate they prefer.
[00:26:01]  They're forced to.
[00:26:02]  And my understanding, and please don't come after me if I'm wrong.
[00:26:07]  I couldn't even get clarity on this because I'm not from Alaska and so really far away, right?
[00:26:10]  I've been there once, but I haven't been there.
[00:26:12]  So don't kill me if I'm wrong here.
[00:26:14]  But my understanding is you have to rank them too.
[00:26:17]  And it's a spoiled ballot if you don't rank one, two, and three.
[00:26:20]  So the big question in a lot of these places, well, well, can I just rank Tishabaka one and then leave everybody else off?
[00:26:27]  Yeah, we just got an email.
[00:26:28]  They said, can you just rank one top choice and then stop?
[00:26:31]  And then in most places in the investigation that I've seen is that the answer to that question is no, which in my opinion is also it's anti-democratic.
[00:26:42]  Of course.
[00:26:44]  You're basically, they're forcing you to vote for this is like single party, crazy systems.
[00:26:49]  Yeah, they force you to give power to people you actually hate.
[00:26:53]  So then they can say, oh, no, this person got elected.
[00:26:56]  I didn't want to vote for it.
[00:26:58]  So in Arizona, if I don't want to vote for somebody, I leave a blank.
[00:27:01]  Yeah, that's exactly.
[00:27:02]  I left it blank for McCain a couple of different times.
[00:27:05]  I didn't want to vote for John McCain.
[00:27:06]  You know, I voted in the primary.
[00:27:08]  And if I didn't want to vote for a Democrat, I didn't want to vote for John McCain.
[00:27:11]  You could leave a blank.
[00:27:13]  These systems that they're trying to institute is they're trying to almost gaslight the American population by saying, no, you elected this person when nobody ever wanted to vote for Murkowski.
[00:27:23]  So Project Veritas Action, led by James O'Keefe, came out with a series of videos that show that Lisa Murkowski was the supporter and the pusher for this because she was worried that in an actual election, she would lose.
[00:27:36]  But in this weird game where you rank them now, this is different than jungle primaries, right?
[00:27:40]  This is different than California.
[00:27:43]  It's different, but it's the same.
[00:27:44]  And here's the reason why it's the same: because jungle primaries are top two primaries, which mean that ultimately you don't have a choice or I say in a party, a party affiliated election.
[00:27:56]  That the same end goal is here with ranked choice voting.
[00:27:59]  Is they essentially the whole goal of this, guys, they want to eliminate party elections.
[00:28:05]  And don't get me wrong, party primaries.
[00:28:06]  Party primaries.
[00:28:07]  Got it.
[00:28:08]  And don't get me wrong, guys.
[00:28:09]  The parties suck.
[00:28:10]  You know, the Republican Party sucks often.
[00:28:12]  The Democrat Party.
[00:28:13]  But it's worse to have a Marxist, single-party communist system, which is what they want.
[00:28:19]  So let's just take an example of Arizona.
[00:28:21]  If Arizona had ranked choice voting, Katie Hobbs would be running in the same race as Kerry Lake.
[00:28:28]  It would be Karen, Kerry, and Katie.
[00:28:31]  Right?
[00:28:31]  Right.
[00:28:31]  So it very well probably would have been Kerry Lake would have received like 35 to 40 percent of the first choice.
[00:28:38]  That's exactly right.
[00:28:39]  But then Karen Taylor Robeson would have gotten a lot of Kerry Lake's second choice.
[00:28:43]  Yes.
[00:28:44]  And a lot of the Katie Hobbs people would have made also Karen Robeson the second choice.
[00:28:49]  So Karen, in that system, you're exactly right.
[00:28:52]  Karen would have won overwhelmingly, even though that was not, even though she was not the choice of the Republican Party.
[00:28:58]  But then they go to the top two go to the general election against each other.
[00:29:02]  Nope.
[00:29:02]  Then it's over.
[00:29:03]  They want to have just one election where it's no, but in Alaska, are they is this the primary?
[00:29:08]  Yeah, so in Alaska with this, this is the primary.
[00:29:12]  So there's different, there's different formulations for this.
[00:29:15]  So again, it's the camel into the tent concept.
[00:29:18]  What they want to get to is where there's only one overall overarching election.
[00:29:23]  So right now they're doing this with the primary, right?
[00:29:27]  Then they move on to the actual election and they say, you know what, we don't need a party primary anymore because we can just do ranked choice voting for one election in the general two.
[00:29:36]  Yeah, that's the understanding.
[00:29:37]  Yeah.
[00:29:37]  But then it will just be whomever the top two people run.
[00:29:41]  It's different every state.
[00:29:42]  So again, I can't speak to Alaska, but what they're doing is they're opening the door in Alaska for this.
[00:29:47]  So they have just one election.
[00:29:49]  So what they're going to say next is we don't even need a new primary.
[00:29:52]  We can save the taxpayers millions of dollars.
[00:29:53]  No primary.
[00:29:54]  No primary.
[00:29:54]  Yeah.
[00:29:55]  Think about that, guys.
[00:29:56]  That means no Ron DeSantis.
[00:29:57]  That'd mean no Kerry Lake.
[00:29:58]  That'd be no Ted Cruz.
[00:30:00]  That'd be no Josh Hawley.
[00:30:01]  Your grassroots conservatives that you love, this is a way to disenfranchise them because the Democrats would be mobilized and all of these Chamber of Commerce Uni Party people would benefit from this.
[00:30:11]  That's exactly right.
[00:30:11]  So the Uniparty guys would benefit from it.
[00:30:14]  The Democrats aren't, I would argue the Democrats aren't more organized than Republicans, but they're more controlling.
[00:30:20]  And so they're a machine.
[00:30:21]  So basically, the best way to undo this is what they could do is like in top two in California, which we've seen them do now.
[00:30:27]  That's why California turned so blue.
[00:30:29]  They can run more Republicans in a district, split the vote for Republicans, and then all of a sudden you get top two Democrats.
[00:30:36]  And that's the same thing with ranked choice voting.
[00:30:39]  They can actually organize this and they're much more organized to say, hey, we're going to keep out all our, we're going to solidify into one candidate and then we can win every single election.
[00:30:49]  And it's scary, guys.
[00:30:50]  I mean, ranked choice voting is going to be the utter destruction of the conservative movement if you do not get out ahead.
[00:30:55]  And just so you understand how they tabulate it.
[00:30:57]  So they do one rank of tabulation and then they have to do another rank of tabulation, which basically, you know, who always wins?
[00:31:05]  The second place person wins.
[00:31:06]  And this is all behind closed doors too on electronics, which is everything we're fighting right now, which is like, hey, there's no paper trail, right?
[00:31:12]  This is just a trust algorithm.
[00:31:14]  Yes.
[00:31:15]  It's an algorithm that gives preference to the second place candidate.
[00:31:18]  I'm telling you guys, this is how you end up with a Venezuela situation.
[00:31:20]  This is how you end up with a Soviet Union situation, single party, you know, behind closed doors.
[00:31:25]  But ranked choice voting is going to come to a state near you to disenfranchise grassroots conservatives and try to destroy the voice of the grassroots.
[00:31:32]  It is a backdoor procedural way.
[00:31:34]  I know some of you are, oh, Charlie, why are you talking about this?
[00:31:37]  The same way that we ignored mail-in ballots, the same way that we ignored all this, we're trying to warn you right now.
[00:31:41]  If you don't block ranked choice voting, then there will be no conservative movement, period.
[00:31:46]  We acknowledge this is weedsy, but a lot of you say, Charlie, you know, how do we stop the bad guys?
[00:31:51]  You see, while we're focused on persuasion and ideas, which is important, they're focused on process.
[00:31:58]  They care about how votes are tabulated and process, process, process, process.
[00:32:03]  Who counts the vote?
[00:32:04]  Who counts the votes, how they're counted, what's the tabulation?
[00:32:07]  So Project Veritas Action by James O'Keefe does an amazing job.
[00:32:11]  Play cut 100 shows that Lisa Murkowski's team is bragging that they were the ones that wanted ranked choice voting because it benefits them.
[00:32:20]  Play cut 100.
[00:32:21]  They say the race is going to come down to Kelly Chewbacca and Senator Murkowski.
[00:32:26]  So anyone who votes for Pat Chesborough first and ranks Senator Murkowski second, that vote is going to become a vote for Senator Murkowski.
[00:32:34]  So ballot measure two is her key to winning.
[00:32:37]  Yeah.
[00:32:38]  While we work on ballot measure two and voting for ballot measure two, we have Senator Murkowski in mind the whole time.
[00:32:44]  Every single Pat Chesborough voter who ranks Senator Murkowski second, you get the votes.

=== Ranked Choice Voting Secrets (04:34) ===

[00:32:51]  So could we get the title of who that was?
[00:32:52]  I think that's a Murkowski staffer, if I'm not mistaken, on Hidden Camera bragging that because of ranked choice voting, the moderate Lisa Murkowski will survive despite Teshbaka getting more votes.
[00:33:05]  Yeah, because they know, again, and again, this is a uniparty Democrat establishment Republican employee who these people hate you.
[00:33:13]  I mean, I just want everyone here to know these people hate you.
[00:33:15]  And here's how I know they hate you, because we actually have a consultant here in Arizona who hates Republicans, who actually had a back memo leaked where they're talking about all the benefits of how to basically destroy conservatives.
[00:33:32]  And process.
[00:33:34]  I saw.
[00:33:34]  I've read it with my own eyes.
[00:33:36]  They made it very transparently clear.
[00:33:37]  They can eliminate party primaries.
[00:33:39]  They can eliminate conservatives.
[00:33:41]  This is all the guys, this is what they want.
[00:33:43]  And Arizona is at the front lines right now of this.
[00:33:46]  The West Coast, Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Arizona.
[00:33:50]  Washington, which they have jungles.
[00:33:52]  Yeah, Washington already had jungle.
[00:33:53]  They got through jungle and they realized jungle's not good enough because Republicans look to make it through.
[00:33:58]  But I just want, I know this is really hard for people to understand.
[00:34:01]  When you do rake choice voting, there's an algorithm then that gets implemented that then gives the preference to the second candidate.
[00:34:08]  And the formula is not really clear what it is.
[00:34:11]  Well, it can be different.
[00:34:12]  They could change it all the time.
[00:34:14]  That's right.
[00:34:14]  I mean, if you leave it clear, because what happens if you have 45% of people want the first one, but then the next tabulation, 41% of people want the second one?
[00:34:24]  How do you possibly tabulate that?
[00:34:26]  So cut 101, again, so the person who was on that clip is Emma Ashlock, Murkowski campaign coordinator.
[00:34:32]  Instead of winning over voters, Lisa Murkowski was worried about taking over the process.
[00:34:38]  Wake up, everybody.
[00:34:39]  Play cut 101.
[00:34:40]  Ballot measure two asks voters to pick second and third choice candidates in addition to their favorite.
[00:34:46]  And those preferences are counted if no one wins a majority.
[00:34:49]  Some people's ballots don't end up counting in the final results.
[00:34:52]  And between you and me, ballot measure two is actually created.
[00:34:55]  I think it was created for two reasons.
[00:34:57]  I remember why it was created because there were people in the state who wanted to see a better system.
[00:35:01]  But they also wanted to wait so they get reelected.
[00:35:04]  Our comms director, his name is Shay.
[00:35:06]  He was the comms director for ballot measure two.
[00:35:08]  That was his job previously.
[00:35:09]  So that's how we know him.
[00:35:11]  They're bragging about how they got this through to help Murkowski.
[00:35:15]  Well, and we're having emails come through right now.
[00:35:17]  People are legitimately confused.
[00:35:19]  You should be confused because the process is confusing.
[00:35:21]  It's intentionally confusing.
[00:35:22]  They're asking questions.
[00:35:23]  They say, couldn't you vote for the same person over three times?
[00:35:27]  No, like they just mentioned on this video, as soon as your candidate doesn't make that first threshold and gets dropped off the bottom, basically your vote no longer counts.
[00:35:35]  And so that's the other threshold in the next round.
[00:35:38]  So that was the conversation we had before.
[00:35:40]  Well, even if they allow you just to vote for one, well, if yours drops off, basically you're not even voting in what would be a runoff or a general election.
[00:35:49]  And so I'm telling you guys, this is one of the most anti-democratic measures ever passed.
[00:35:54]  Now, the way to do it, if you're in Alaska, this is the only way to game the system and you got to get the word out.
[00:36:00]  If the algorithms are trusted, you have to rank Murkowski last.
[00:36:04]  Dead last.
[00:36:05]  Right?
[00:36:05]  Or you don't rank at all.
[00:36:07]  But if you don't rank at all, then you actually might not get to the next round.
[00:36:11]  It's so confusing.
[00:36:12]  They do it in QB.
[00:36:13]  Here's why they do it confusing.
[00:36:14]  They know Murkowski will get like 35 to 36% on the first round, 30% on the first round.
[00:36:20]  But a lot of Republicans will be like, oh, okay.
[00:36:23]  I mean, I like Tushbaka, but I would rather have Murkowski than a Democrat.
[00:36:27]  And then some Democrats will like Murkowski, and that will get them to the 40 to 50%.
[00:36:31]  And Murkowski will be called the winner when in reality, she lost.
[00:36:36]  What do we call second place?
[00:36:37]  First loser.
[00:36:39]  Guys, in Utah, they were trying to take out Mike Lee with this process.
[00:36:43]  They're going to get more aggressive with it so they can get Mitt Romney through next election because they know they're screwed with him in Utah.
[00:36:49]  Guys, wake up.
[00:36:50]  You got to stop ranked choice voting in your state.
[00:36:52]  Do not even allow it the local municipal election.
[00:36:54]  We got to go.
[00:36:54]  tpaction.com slash DeSantis for our amazing rally coming up on Sunday.
[00:37:00]  And we are going to keep on pounding this.
[00:37:02]  Ranked choice voting is a process takeover by the Unit Party very quietly and sneakily to steal your voice.
[00:37:09]  Thank you, Tyler.
