=== RNC Spending Scandal (14:31) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, I go through my take on the RNC spending story.
[00:00:05]  And then Stephen Miller gives us an update from the border and some of his successful legal challenges.
[00:00:10]  Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:00:13]  Support our program at charliekirk.com/slash support and get involved with Turning Point USA today.
[00:00:19]  That's TurningPointUSA at tpusa.com.
[00:00:23]  Buckle up, everybody.
[00:00:24]  Here we go.
[00:00:25]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:27]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:29]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:32]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:36]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:37]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:38]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:00:45]  Turning point USA.
[00:00:46]  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.
[00:00:55]  That's why we are here.
[00:00:58]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
[00:01:07]  There was a powerful article that was published last evening by Jennifer Van Law.
[00:01:11]  We're going to have her on the program in a little bit.
[00:01:13]  Analysis of RNC spending since 2017.
[00:01:18]  Let me first by saying this: begin by saying this: that when we analyze and we judge the Republican National Committee, the GOP, especially the committee itself, it must be held to a higher standard.
[00:01:35]  It must be held to more scrutiny than almost any other organization.
[00:01:41]  And I'll tell you why.
[00:01:43]  First of all, the Republican National Committee is a very regulated organization.
[00:01:48]  The Republican National Committee cannot receive unlimited donations.
[00:01:53]  The top, the most that they can receive from a person or a couple, I believe, is $750,000 per year.
[00:02:01]  Now, you might say, well, Charlie, that's an extraordinary amount of money.
[00:02:03]  It is.
[00:02:04]  But super PACs, as you saw with George Soros putting $120 million in, can raise a lot of money very quickly from small amounts of people.
[00:02:12]  The Republican National Committee can also coordinate with campaigns.
[00:02:17]  So the RNC can work with state committees.
[00:02:19]  It could work with the Arizona Republican Party.
[00:02:22]  It can work with the Georgia Republican Party.
[00:02:24]  The RNC can also pick up the phone and talk to the Herschel Walker campaign.
[00:02:28]  It could talk to Donald Trump's campaign.
[00:02:30]  They could do things called JV JFCs.
[00:02:35]  That's right, JFCs, joint fundraising committees.
[00:02:38]  For example, they did this with Donald Trump and it was called Trump Victory.
[00:02:42]  So used correctly and used properly, the Republican National Committee, the GOP, is able to go places that super PACs legally are not allowed to go.
[00:02:51]  So for example, super PACs that you might see American Crossroads, which was Karl Robes deal, or Priorities USA, which is a left-wing one.
[00:02:59]  They are not allowed to pick up the phone and work with campaigns.
[00:03:03]  They are not allowed to pick up the phone and work with state committees.
[00:03:06]  They have to be separate.
[00:03:07]  They have to be walled off.
[00:03:08]  They're not allowed to coordinate.
[00:03:10]  The Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee, because they are parties, are the only organizations that are allowed to coordinate on messaging, on strategy, on resources, on funding, and especially when it comes to the state committees themselves.
[00:03:29]  Now, the Republican National Committee, because of that, is also able to get signatures for direct mail solicitations, for emails, and for text messages that other super PACs would not be able to get.
[00:03:45]  For example, the Republican National Committee was able to have Donald Trump sign a lot of their fundraising emails.
[00:03:53]  I'm sure many of you, we did a lot of coverage on this, would get relentless amount of emails saying 10 minutes left, five minutes left, triple match.
[00:04:02]  It was just nonstop.
[00:04:04]  And so because of this, the Republican National Committee had an advantage to be able to raise a lot of money using Donald Trump's signature under the pretense that we are the Republican Party.
[00:04:18]  Now, since the Republican Party, the RNC, is not able to raise unlimited amounts of money from top-level donors, every dollar they spend should be under harsher and greater scrutiny.
[00:04:32]  That's not to say that if you run an organization that can take unlimited donations, you should not be under scrutiny.
[00:04:39]  I happen to run one of them.
[00:04:41]  But when you are the party itself that can share data, volunteers, resources, walking lists, polling information with campaigns, every dollar matters.
[00:04:55]  So there is a report that came out by Jennifer Van Law that detailed some of the spending since 2017.
[00:05:01]  Now, many of you watching this program have donated generously to the RNC in years past, knowingly or unknowingly, by the way.
[00:05:11]  The RNC is the hub.
[00:05:14]  So therefore, if your hub starts misallocating money, if your hub does not spend money wisely or prudently or correctly, it could impact all sorts of different campaigns and advocacy that you're involved in.
[00:05:32]  You want to avoid even the appearance of poor spending.
[00:05:36]  So last evening, there was a report that came out that showed the following.
[00:05:41]  Now, some of this, I think, is being misunderstood.
[00:05:45]  Some of this, I think, is not being, not receiving enough criticism.
[00:05:49]  So, for example, some people are attacking the fact that the RNC spent $500,000 on private jets this last year.
[00:05:59]  Now, if you're running a massive organization like the RNC and you have to go to events and you have to raise lots of money and you have to do multiple stops, I could see part of that.
[00:06:11]  I could see that if you have tight windows and you got to go to weird locations, if you're doing a lot of business, let me just, I don't, I could dive into my own personal perspective on that.
[00:06:22]  Let me just put that aside and say I'm not even going to talk about that.
[00:06:25]  However, here's the one that I can't quite understand.
[00:06:28]  There's a couple I can't understand.
[00:06:29]  $321,000 on flowers.
[00:06:34]  Flowers.
[00:06:36]  So here you have a Nevada Senate race that was decided by a couple thousand votes, and the Republican Party, the hub, spent $321,000 on floral arrangements.
[00:06:48]  Are they hosting an Indian wedding every single day?
[00:06:51]  Well, what is the possible justification for spending $321,000 on flowers?
[00:07:00]  And then the kicker of the entire article.
[00:07:03]  And I'm going to read the RNC's response to this because I find it to be very weak.
[00:07:09]  $17 million on donor mementos.
[00:07:17]  Did you guys get any of those that donated to the RNC?
[00:07:20]  $17 million for donor mementos.
[00:07:25]  Let me read this for you.
[00:07:26]  So it is, it's right.
[00:07:31]  Apparently, according to this report, the RNC is quite generous to its donors, spending $17 million on donor mementos, custom pins by legendary DC jeweler Ann Hand, and Christmas ornaments from Shea Mart, the company that makes the White House Christmas ornaments, are listed as donor memento expenses.
[00:07:53]  But the financials also include $65,000 in office supplies from Ann Hand and $28,000 from Shea Mar.
[00:08:03]  So that's $17 million.
[00:08:04]  So the RNC's response was this.
[00:08:07]  The RNC's response was: well, we were basically forced to pay $17 million for this because these were for White House Christmas parties, White House picnics, and they put it on the RNC, of which the RNC should have said, we're not paying for it.
[00:08:24]  This is one of the big concerns that all of us have about the RNC, which is, are you a leader or not?
[00:08:29]  You stand up to the White House and say, no, our money is super valuable.
[00:08:33]  We're not going to spend $17 million on useless ornaments that say make America great again, that go put on a Christmas tree.
[00:08:41]  We got elections to win.
[00:08:43]  We are the hub.
[00:08:44]  Our dollars are precious.
[00:08:46]  Our donors are investing in us.
[00:08:48]  People are giving $50,000, $75 that they do not have in a time of inflation.
[00:08:53]  Why on earth are we spending $17 million on donor mementos?
[00:08:58]  So let me read this.
[00:08:59]  This is what they say in the RNC's response.
[00:09:02]  Just to be perfectly fair, they say donor mementos referenced in the story refer to money spent towards White House events, such as Christmas parties, congressional picnics, and Easter egg rolls.
[00:09:13]  Gifts for donors and guests of the White House were purchased at the discretion of the White House as a standard practice, regardless of which party has the presidency.
[00:09:22]  The respective party committee is responsible for paying for these events and gifts, not the American people, of which they should have said, We're not doing it.
[00:09:31]  Zero.
[00:09:31]  That's how much you get.
[00:09:32]  We're not paying for a gift.
[00:09:33]  And you know what?
[00:09:34]  I know this because I run an organization that raises a serious amount of money.
[00:09:38]  Donors will respect it.
[00:09:40]  Donors will appreciate the fact that you're not spending their money on some sort of trinket or giveaway, the vast majority of which probably do not keep or revere or even remember receiving.
[00:09:51]  $17 million on fine jewelry for donors.
[00:09:57]  That $17 million should have been spent on money to help Carrie Lake.
[00:10:00]  That $17 million should have been helping Adam Laxalt.
[00:10:04]  That $17 million could have helped any one of our candidates that were in these narrow races.
[00:10:11]  And what really bothers me, and again, I want to say this: if you're running an outside super PAC, in some ways, it's buyer beware.
[00:10:20]  Learn your lesson.
[00:10:22]  Is it well spent?
[00:10:23]  We find out.
[00:10:24]  Okay.
[00:10:24]  I mean, I could go into my own opinion and my perspective on that stuff.
[00:10:28]  If you're running the actual apparatus that is the RNC, that is the only organization, that is the only piece of infrastructure that is able to coordinate, share data, that is able to consolidate strategies, you are the hub.
[00:10:44]  By legal definition, the way the federal election code is written, the RNC is different.
[00:10:51]  And $17 million on donor mementos?
[00:10:55]  And the excuse is, well, the American people should have to pay for it.
[00:10:58]  Say no one gets gifts.
[00:10:59]  How about that?
[00:11:00]  No one gets gifts.
[00:11:03]  We're spending our money on data, volunteers, door knocking, and advertisements.
[00:11:10]  Hey, everybody, what if I told you you could save a baby's life for $28?
[00:11:14]  Well, it's true, Pre-Born is a ministry doing just that with the help of people just like you by offering free ultrasound sessions to pregnant women and girls who might otherwise choose to end their pregnancies.
[00:11:25]  We know that pregnant girls and women who can see their babies on ultrasound are far more likely to choose life.
[00:11:32]  Your gift can save a baby's life right now for just $28.
[00:11:36]  You can give a mother who is abortion-minded the chance to see the truth of the baby that is growing inside her.
[00:11:41]  $140 can do this for five girls and women.
[00:11:44]  Erica and I are going to give a gift to pre-born before the end of the year, and you guys can do that as well by going to charliekirk.com and clicking on the pre-born banner.
[00:11:52]  A $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.
[00:11:55]  Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away.
[00:12:00]  There's no better time than now to save a baby's life.
[00:12:02]  And right now, your gift is matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact.
[00:12:05]  833-850-2229 or give online at charliekirk.com.
[00:12:12]  Pre-born is an amazing organization.

[00:12:26]  Look, so Turning Point USA is nowhere near the size of the RNC.
[00:12:29]  We are a fraction.
[00:12:31]  We do raise a serious amount if you count Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action.
[00:12:36]  We have over 165,000 grassroots donors, very blessed.
[00:12:39]  So I know a little bit about this space, about what it's like to allocate expenditures.
[00:12:45]  40% of all the money spent by the Republican National Committee was spent on fundraising.
[00:12:51]  40%.
[00:12:52]  So if you give a dollar to the RNC, if you give a dollar to the GOP, 40 cents on the dollar is going to go spend to, is being spent to raise more money.
[00:13:02]  And so the RNC's response is: well, the RNC has raised record amounts of money.
[00:13:07]  Well, they've raised record amounts of money because they're spending all your money and raising more money.
[00:13:12]  It's that they spend money on new solicitations, buying new lists, and that's part of their response.
[00:13:18]  But if anyone in the audience, please email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:13:24]  What is the argument for spending $700,000 on floral arrangements?
[00:13:31]  Somebody said, well, Charlie, it's for donors that passed away.
[00:13:35]  Okay, that's not the best spent.
[00:13:37]  I'll be honest, that's not the best money spent by the RNC.
[00:13:40]  That $700,000 could be spent on data that could be spent on critical infrastructure in the States.
[00:13:46]  That's not the best money spent.
[00:13:48]  I'm not saying you shouldn't honor a person that passes away, but $700,000 on flowers?
[00:13:53]  Okay, so you might say, well, what do the Democrats spend?
[00:13:58]  The Democrat National Committee only spent $1,000 on flowers.
[00:14:04]  So this is just the election cycle.
[00:14:06]  The RNC spent $321,000 on flowers, and the Democrats spent $1,000 on flowers.
[00:14:15]  The Democrats spent $1.5 million at the Democrat National Committee on donor gifts, $1.5 million on donor gifts.
[00:14:25]  And the Republicans spent $17 million on donor gifts.

=== Hair and Makeup Costs (05:14) ===

[00:14:31]  I'm telling you right now, we would not put up with any of this at Turning Point, not even close.
[00:14:37]  We hawk every single expenditure.
[00:14:39]  40% of all dollars spent on new donors and new fundraising.
[00:14:44]  And then there's all these expenditures on clothes.
[00:14:48]  By the way, I asked our team what our number is.
[00:14:50]  At Turning Point, we spend between 4% to 6% on fundraising, 4% to 6%, which is way below the average.
[00:14:58]  A reasonable average is like 8% to 10%.
[00:15:00]  You get near 12%.
[00:15:01]  You're a little bit shaky.
[00:15:02]  We're near 4% to 6% at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
[00:15:06]  We hawk it.
[00:15:07]  Now, mind you, it's a little different.
[00:15:09]  We're able to accept unlimited gifts, meaning that we can accept donations larger than $750,000.
[00:15:16]  We don't have a lot of donors like that.
[00:15:18]  We have a couple.
[00:15:19]  The RNC is not allowed to, but that's only a more, that's another argument for the RNC to be careful with their money.
[00:15:33]  Don Bulldick spent $4 million in his entire campaign.
[00:15:36]  Imagine if one fourth of that, of he had that $17 million in mementos.
[00:15:42]  So instead of giving money to the RNC, I'm sorry, the RNC giving $17 million in donor gifts.
[00:15:48]  And by the way, I know the donor community pretty well.
[00:15:50]  They don't want these trinkets.
[00:15:52]  They think it's a waste of time.
[00:15:54]  Maybe a thing here or there, a memorable pin.
[00:15:57]  We do that every so often at turning point, but not $17 million worth.
[00:16:01]  You should have told the White House, pay for it yourself or don't give it out.
[00:16:06]  There's more expenditures here.
[00:16:07]  $100,000 on clothes?
[00:16:10]  I don't even know that's how that's legal.
[00:16:12]  I mean, I know this.
[00:16:13]  101, you're not allowed to expense clothes.
[00:16:15]  It doesn't happen.
[00:16:16]  I pay for it myself.
[00:16:17]  Another $100,000 in makeup and hair and makeup services and dry cleaning expenses.
[00:16:23]  And so then the RNC says you're sexist.
[00:16:26]  This is their response.
[00:16:27]  They say you're sexist for saying that you can't say that you shouldn't spend $100,000 on hair and makeup and wardrobe.
[00:16:35]  But here's the thing.
[00:16:35]  Anyone who knows that if you do cable television, which I've done, what, Andrew, probably 600, 700 fox hits in the last decade.
[00:16:43]  I think that's, I think that's fair.
[00:16:45]  Probably six or seven hundred fox.
[00:16:46]  Okay, Andrew, I think it's more.
[00:16:47]  Probably 800 fox hits.
[00:16:49]  90% of the time, the station that you're going on will pay for your hair and makeup.
[00:16:55]  I have never had to pay for my own hair and makeup.
[00:16:58]  And they say, well, it's sexist because they're women and they need it.
[00:17:01]  You know, that's what they say, that Rana needs it and you can't criticize it.
[00:17:06]  I think that's an extraordinary expenditure.
[00:17:08]  I think $100,000 in hair and makeup and dry cleaning is not the best use of your money.
[00:17:14]  And I'm not, the private jet thing, I'm going to say, let's just put that aside.
[00:17:17]  If you're productive and you're doing lots of events, the private jet thing, let's just disqualify that from the conversation.
[00:17:24]  Okay.
[00:17:24]  Now, $1.3 million on limousine and chauffeur services.
[00:17:29]  There is so much misallocation of money here.
[00:17:32]  And guess what?
[00:17:33]  The DNC, the Democrats, they're much more careful with their money.
[00:17:37]  What are your thoughts?
[00:17:38]  Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.

=== Fighting Racial Discrimination (05:13) ===

[00:19:46]  Okay, so we got actually our numbers.
[00:19:47]  I asked our team, I said, what do we spend at Turning Point?
[00:19:50]  You know, and look, we've been very blessed, over 130,000 donors, 145,000 donors.
[00:19:55]  So last year we reported at Turning Point USA, we raised $55.2 million in total revenue, and we spent $3.1 million in fundraising expenses.
[00:20:06]  So that's nonprofit, that's mailings, that's text messages, that's emails, that's donor events.
[00:20:13]  So at Turning Point USA, that's a 6%.
[00:20:17]  So we spent 6% on fundraising expenses.
[00:20:21]  And the RNC spent 40% on fundraising expenses.
[00:20:26]  By the way, if you want to contact your RNC member and ask them why they are wasting your money with $17 million on donor mementos and $700,000 on flowers, you guys can contact your RNC member at hireharmeat.com.
[00:20:42]  That's hire, like you are hiring somebody, H-A-R-M-E-E-T.com.
[00:20:50]  Joining us now is Stephen Miller, a great patriot.
[00:20:53]  There's a new story out in the Washington Post, how a Trump-allied group fighting anti-white bigotry beat Biden in court.
[00:21:00]  Stephen, welcome back to the program.
[00:21:02]  Great to be here.
[00:21:03]  Thank you so much.
[00:21:04]  So Stephen, tell us, how did you, and you're the founder of America First Legal, how did you beat Biden in the court with his blatant and naked anti-white beliefs and views?
[00:21:14]  Well, it's quite simple, really.
[00:21:16]  Federal civil rights law is as unambiguous as it gets.
[00:21:19]  Racial discrimination is patently illegal, particularly, of course, when carried out by the federal government.
[00:21:26]  And that's true in any context, no matter who you're discriminating against.
[00:21:30]  And for years, and this is something we've talked about before, under the guise of equity, the left has been pushing formalized racial discrimination against both white people as well as a few other ethnic groups, Indians, Asians, Jews, et cetera.
[00:21:47]  And all of that is, of course, completely illegal.
[00:21:50]  Whether you're talking about admissions to universities, whether you're talking about eligibility for grant money, whether you're talking about eligibility for federal benefits, all of that in any context is illegal.
[00:22:04]  And so we sued the Biden administration for some of these very bigoted policies.
[00:22:10]  Yes, they are.
[00:22:11]  Yes.
[00:22:12]  And we also have ongoing lawsuits in other contexts over the exact same thing.
[00:22:17]  So we have sued Amazon over racial discrimination, in which if you are a Caucasian Amazon driver, you're not eligible for the same benefits as drivers who have other skin color.
[00:22:30]  We've also sued Texas A ⁇ M University for racial discrimination in the hiring of professors.
[00:22:37]  So this is an area where we are very active and very engaged in order to preserve equal justice for all in America.
[00:22:44]  And I would just say to all of your viewers and all of your listeners that if you see something, say something.
[00:22:51]  Contact us at aflegal.org slash equality, aflegal.org slash equality.
[00:22:59]  That's our portal for any complaints about racial discrimination.
[00:23:03]  And if you have a valid case, if there's something that is legally actionable, then we will be in a position to evaluate that and possibly provide pro bono legal representation.
[00:23:12]  Yeah, I just think you guys are doing such wonderful work.
[00:23:15]  And America First Legal is one of the most important and powerful organizations.
[00:23:20]  You guys are really moving the dial.
[00:23:21]  By the way, you guys can, if you're plaintiffs, you can go to aflegal.org slash hotline and put TPUSA in the subject line.
[00:23:31]  And we're really...
[00:23:33]  Yes, that's another, yes, that's another very important thing.
[00:23:35]  I'm glad you mentioned that.
[00:23:37]  So yes, we are partnering with TPUSA.
[00:23:40]  So do exactly what Charlie just said.
[00:23:42]  Go to aflegal.org slash hotline and put TPUSA in the subject.
[00:23:48]  And then we will be able to flag that as being part of this partnership and be able to get to it right away and be able to look at whatever that legal complaint is.
[00:23:56]  But if you're a college student right now, any internship, any fellowship, any academic program, any corporate program that has any kind of discrimination on the basis of sex, so for example, favoritism to LGBTQI groups, to use their terminology, or favoritism based on race.
[00:24:17]  That's all illegal.
[00:24:18]  Let us know and we can file lawsuits as appropriate.
[00:24:24]  I think that's so incredibly important.
[00:24:25]  And so I just want to talk about the border here, Stephen.
[00:24:28]  I mean, can you just give our audience a little bit of a window into what's happening on the southern border, the rescinding of Title 42, which in your to give you credit, you were kind of one of the architects, is that fair to say, Stephen, of that policy, if I remember correctly?
[00:24:48]  Yeah, I was one of the individuals who both raised the need for this as well as was responsible for implementing it.

=== Title 42 Authority (12:47) ===

[00:24:59]  Yeah, so tell us what it is and how dangerous it is that it's now been rescinded or repealed.
[00:25:04]  Yes, so Title 42 was an authority that was implemented by President Trump on the advice and guidance of the Centers for Disease Control in 2020.
[00:25:16]  And basically, it's a public health authority that gives the executive branch fleet authority to prohibit the entry of any foreign national if there's any concern about the spread of disease or communicable illness in the United States.
[00:25:32]  And again, that's in the sole discretion of the executive branch.
[00:25:36]  So it doesn't say that it has to be a particular threshold of disease or particular kind of disease.
[00:25:42]  It's a very broad authority.
[00:25:43]  And obviously, we've known for many, many years that the southern border is a vector for the spread of illness.
[00:25:49]  You know, we know we've all heard the stories about measles, smallpox, tuberculosis, scabies, not to mention the flu.
[00:25:58]  You know, none of us wants to get the flu.
[00:26:02]  None of us wants our children to get the flu.
[00:26:03]  Nobody likes the flu.
[00:26:04]  There's no reason why to take something that's very elemental that any of us should have more flu because there's an open border.
[00:26:10]  Like the amount of flu we have is all the flu that we need.
[00:26:13]  Nobody needs more flu coming through the southern border with the very unsanitary conditions associated with mass illegal migration.
[00:26:20]  So all of that, all of it qualifies.
[00:26:22]  Now you add on top of that, of course, COVID-19.
[00:26:25]  And you have more than a sufficient legal basis to deny the entry of anybody, which means no asylum, no refugee status, no ability to fight your deportation.
[00:26:36]  So it's a blanket authority that circumvents every other authority to say that you can't come in, period.
[00:26:45]  No exceptions.
[00:26:46]  And so we implemented that in 2020.
[00:26:49]  And the Biden administration, when they came into office, immediately carved out very large populations from Title 42.
[00:26:57]  Basically, all unaccompanied minors, which is the reason why we had record-setting numbers of 17 and younger illegal immigrants traveling alone.
[00:27:09]  They're obviously not smuggled here alone, but they're without an adult companion arriving over the last two years, numbers nobody's ever seen before.
[00:27:16]  And then they carved out almost all illegal immigrant families.
[00:27:19]  Then they started carving out additional nationalities.
[00:27:23]  So pretty much anybody beyond Central America was, in most cases, categorically exempt from Title 42.
[00:27:29]  So for basically most of two years, Title 42 has been used for a very limited subset of people, but still used for that remaining subset of illegal immigrants.
[00:27:40]  The last piece of that is going to fall away in a matter of days because the Biden administration has been trying to end it.
[00:27:47]  And don't be confused.
[00:27:48]  This is not something the court is forcing them to do.
[00:27:50]  They tried to end it before the courts ever got involved.
[00:27:54]  They sent the message, we want this thing gone.
[00:27:56]  We want it out of this.
[00:27:57]  They're not going to the Supreme Court asking for an emergency appeal.
[00:28:01]  This is deliberate.
[00:28:02]  This is planned.
[00:28:03]  The objective has been to find a way to end Title 42, and that's what's happening.
[00:28:08]  And so states have sued to try to keep it online, but it looks like they're going to be unsuccessful.
[00:28:13]  Yeah.
[00:28:13]  And it looks like it's going to go away.
[00:28:15]  I can speak a little bit more candidly than you can, Stephen.
[00:28:18]  This is a loophole, and we should totally support the loophole.
[00:28:22]  I mean, I'll just be very honest, right?
[00:28:24]  I know that you, as a lawyer, have to make the precise arguments, but we are in crisis.
[00:28:29]  We are being invaded by a foreign power.
[00:28:31]  And look, under Title 42, we've expelled successfully 2.5 million people, or at least migrants 2.5 million times, because that actually isn't the same thing, because we repel and expel the same person sometimes, three, four, five, six times.
[00:28:46]  But, you know, the accusation is people say, well, it's a loophole.
[00:28:50]  Of course, it's a loophole.
[00:28:51]  It's a legal one, and it stands up against muster, against criticism.
[00:28:56]  But we do not have many tools at our disposal, right, Stephen, to secure our country.
[00:29:02]  There's several tools, and I should clarify that I manage lawyers for a living, but myself am not a lawyer.
[00:29:09]  Okay, so you can talk as candidly as you want then.
[00:29:13]  But what I can say is that it is a blanket delegation of authority to the executive branch.
[00:29:20]  Just like there's a blanket delegation of authority that authorized the travel ban, which bring up another subject for another day that, of course, Biden rescinded immediately upon entering office.
[00:29:32]  But the point of which is to say that to answer your original question, with this gone, expect total pandemonium.
[00:29:38]  Now, we already have total pandemonium.
[00:29:41]  So basically, imagine total pandemonium and then multiply that by orders of magnitude.
[00:29:47]  It will be, and it will, and it is becoming, scenes from a failed state playing out on our southern border.
[00:29:56]  Masses and masses of people in makeshift camps lining up, waiting for entry and resettlement into the United States.
[00:30:03]  Now, there's three core authorities, all of which we had fully online in 2020, that can keep illegal aliens out of the country and defeat the legal machinery that the activists left and the courts have created over the last few generations.
[00:30:17]  So, in other words, there's all these defenses legal aliens can raise to stay in the country.
[00:30:22]  They're all very preposterous and very ludicrous and very fraudulent that have been created by a combination of the ACLU and similar organizations and then the judges who certify this nonsense and the bureaucracy that has internalized it.
[00:30:36]  And those three big authorities are one, remain in Mexico, which obviously everyone is familiar with.
[00:30:45]  The second is safe third agreements, which basically means that you say to an illegal immigrant, you have two options.
[00:30:52]  You can go home or you can go to an alternate third nation.
[00:30:55]  And then Title 42, which we've discussed, which is blanket removal authority.
[00:31:00]  And so all three of those tools have been revoked and have been rescinded, or in the case of L42, is being terminated by the Biden administration.
[00:31:10]  And so what it will mean is that there will be no way for the Biden administration, even though they wanted to, to remove these evil immigrants, but of course they don't want to because it's why they rescinded the authorities in the first place.
[00:31:19]  So what you're going to be seeing is effectively populations the size of whole countries being continuously resettled in the United States.
[00:31:30]  Do you want to make extra money?
[00:31:32]  Then you need to get an e-store from my friends at Nobilis.

[00:32:32]  So let me play a piece of tape here.
[00:32:33]  Look, what's happening on the border is just so terrible.
[00:32:37]  And by the way, MSNBC is starting to report on it.
[00:32:39]  I'm curious to find out why and get Stephen's take on that.
[00:32:44]  Let's go to Cut 93, please.
[00:32:47]  The horror stories that people face just when they get to Mexico and trying to get to the U.S., they're being kidnapped, starved, raped, extorted.
[00:32:55]  That's just in Mexico.
[00:32:57]  I'm just wondering, where is the urgency here?
[00:32:59]  Where is the outrage that men, women, and children are going through hell?
[00:33:05]  And it seems as though, unless there's some political aspect to this, there's no outrage.
[00:33:11]  There's no focus.
[00:33:13]  No, this is a planned invasion of the country.
[00:33:15]  Stephen, why is MSNBC caring all of a sudden?
[00:33:18]  Well, I think a big factor here is the election is over.
[00:33:21]  And so there was no universe where they were going to give this any kind of attention before the election.
[00:33:26]  And so I think this is a phenomenon we've seen a lot.
[00:33:28]  So I think it probably fits pretty well into that bucket, which is it's the equivalent of making some sort of admission or concession for historical purposes to say, oh, look, we covered it.
[00:33:37]  See, look, we checked this box.
[00:33:39]  But waiting to do that to the point at which it will have the least useful political impact for those who care about border security.
[00:33:46]  And I think that's a lot of what's going on here.
[00:33:48]  And you can expect that coverage to disappear at any point in time when it becomes convenient for it to disappear.
[00:33:54]  I want to pick up on someone that the speaker was talking about, which is that the horrors that you're seeing at the border, the rape, the death, the suffering, the starvation, the beatings, when you suspend law enforcement, the Biden administration has done along a massive stretch of territory.
[00:34:18]  When you push out the rule of law, when you say that this is a land without law, a land without law enforcement, a land without rules, you invite into that space, of course, the reign of criminal organizations and syndicates.
[00:34:32]  You can imagine, if you did this in just a city, for example, if you said, take any city, you know, you said, oh, in the city of St. Louis, hereby effective immediately, police are not allowed to arrest anybody for anything.
[00:34:44]  All police can do is transport criminals to the crime scene.
[00:34:48]  But how long until St. Louis became something out of a horribly dystopian sci-fi novel that seemed too horrible and too frightening to think it'd ever be true.
[00:34:59]  Now multiply that across the entire 2,000-mile border where you have some of the most sophisticated, ruthless, and murderous criminal organizations on planet Earth operating.
[00:35:08]  That's what Biden has done and is doing.
[00:35:10]  It's sinister.
[00:35:12]  It's malicious.
[00:35:13]  It's wicked.
[00:35:14]  And those who are aiding and abetting it in Washington, D.C. are complicit in that evil.
[00:35:20]  And so that really brings us to, I think, a very important conversation, which is what now?
[00:35:24]  We've diagnosed the problem and its causes and explained how planned and deliberate it all is.
[00:35:29]  The most important thing that we can possibly do right now, and I will acknowledge that I stand here today, it is unlikely we will be successful based on what I'm hearing and seeing, but it is to get 41 Republicans to defeat a long-term government funding bill before Christmas.
[00:35:47]  So government funding is going to expire.
[00:35:50]  They're probably going to do a stopgap funding bill.
[00:35:52]  But bottom line is that they're going to try and pass a year-long funding bill, a so-called omnibus, before Christmas in late December.
[00:36:01]  That will eliminate any major leverage point for the new House to force border security for effectively a year from today, basically at the end of next September, the beginning of October.
[00:36:16]  And so that will mean millions and millions and millions more legal immigrants will come through with very limited opportunities for the House to force any kind of action on it.
[00:36:25]  I mean, yes, you can and must obviously impeach my orchest, and you have to hold hearings and you have to hold investigations and you have to make criminal referrals.
[00:36:33]  But the most effective forcing function would be to use the funding bill and attach to it an ironclad prohibition on Biden using any government funds to release any legal immigrants into the United States.
[00:36:47]  And that is the policy solution.
[00:36:50]  It's not some complicated immigration reform that nobody can understand and that the bureaucracy will convert into amnesty and resettlement.
[00:36:59]  It is a very straightforward prohibition that says that none of the funds in this or any other act can be used to release any illegal alien into the United States.
[00:37:10]  And of course, if any government official violates that prohibition, then they're committing a very straightforward criminal violation.
[00:37:17]  Keep up the great work, Stephen.
[00:37:18]  What's happening on the southern border is a crime against humanity.
[00:37:22]  And this is why they had to sabotage Terry Lake.
[00:37:26]  This is why they had to ambush her the way they did.
[00:37:28]  Stephen, thanks so much.
[00:37:29]  Thank you.
[00:37:32]  Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
[00:37:34]  Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
