The Charlie Kirk Show - Ukraine, Neoliberalism, and Gay Robots Aired: 2023-01-25 Duration: 35:30 === Lindsey Graham's War Drums (10:11) === [00:00:00] Hey, everybody, Tana Charlie Kirk Show. [00:00:02] We talk about neoliberalism. [00:00:03] We talk about Ukraine, also the fourth branch of government, Pete Buttigieg, and more. [00:00:07] What is neoliberalism? [00:00:08] It's very important. [00:00:09] We talk a little bit about that. [00:00:11] And we're going to dive into that more in a future episode.

[00:00:30] Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. [00:00:32] Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. [00:00:34] I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. [00:00:37] Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. [00:00:40] I want to thank Charlie. [00:00:41] He's an incredible guy. [00:00:42] 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. [00:00:51] 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. [00:00:59] That's why we are here.

[00:01:08] Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandodd.com. [00:01:15] Joe Biden is reading off a teleprompter regarding further escalating the proxy war in Ukraine. [00:01:20] We are going to cut to that for just a second. [00:01:22] I know that many of you are going to be a little fired up that you're going to have to listen to Joe Biden, but I think there might be some information worth listening to, dissecting, and explaining. [00:01:32] The war in Ukraine, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, is increasingly murky. [00:01:38] It's unclear exactly what does success look like there. [00:01:42] And why is the United States getting more and more involved? [00:01:45] So the Washington, D.C. ruling elite are insistent that Ukraine is close to a massive breakthrough, that Ukraine is taking back land, that they're liberating cities. [00:01:59] Now, that very well might be true. [00:02:00] I've seen conflicting reports on that, but let's pretend that's true. [00:02:03] Let's say Ukraine is marching forward, but then what does absolute success look like? [00:02:09] I don't think we have it in the cut sheet, but if you guys get Lindsey Graham flanked by the two Democrat senators, Lady Graham went to Ukraine just to continue to beat the drums of war. [00:02:20] And you have to wonder why does a foreign nation, again, Ukraine is not America, get so much attention, so much funding, so much energy, so much enthusiasm breaking right now. [00:02:34] Biden will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, which will assuredly escalate this proxy war of Ukraine versus Russia. [00:02:45] Now, some of you in this audience are very pro-war in Ukraine. [00:02:48] I won't say a majority of you. [00:02:49] I actually think a majority of you are right where our opinions are on this program. [00:02:53] You're exhausted. [00:02:53] You want our leaders to actually care about our own country. [00:02:57] It's kind of a crazy concept. [00:02:58] But some of you say, hey, Charlie, it's the most important thing. [00:03:01] We have to try to push back Putin. [00:03:02] Putin is modern-day Hitler. [00:03:04] I don't think that's true. [00:03:05] I do think Putin is a bad guy, but not everybody you don't like who's in charge of a country is Hitler. [00:03:11] It's just not responsible. [00:03:12] It's not fair. [00:03:12] It's not true. [00:03:13] Also, Putin could be a strategic geopolitical ally to go against the Chinese Communist Party. [00:03:20] We've basically obliterated the chances of that in the foreseeable future. [00:03:24] So Lindsey Graham continues and he says: if Putin's successful in Ukraine and isn't prosecuted under international law, everything we've said since World War II becomes a joke. [00:03:35] He will continue beyond Ukraine. [00:03:37] Now, this is a really important point. [00:03:40] Lady Graham is not talking about foreign policy here as much as he is talking about the defense of the modern project of international liberal democracy. [00:03:53] You see, Lindsey Graham is defending what Fukuyama wrote in the book The End of History. [00:04:00] It's a very important book. [00:04:02] It was heralded and accepted by the world ruling class. [00:04:05] And essentially, in the book, End of History, the argument was made: we are never going to discover, we're never going to implement a better form of government than neoliberal, open border, free trade, and internationalist, neoconservative policy of modern post-liberal democracy. [00:04:25] Now, we don't believe that as conservatives. [00:04:28] Some conservatives say they do, but Donald Trump was a reaction to this sort of neoliberal fascination. [00:04:36] Now, you might say, Charlie, what is neoliberalism? [00:04:38] It's three things: invade the world, invite the world, and bring in a lot of cheap products from foreign countries. [00:04:45] You want neoliberalism to be described in a nutshell? [00:04:50] Our homes are twice as big. [00:04:53] We're twice as in debt. [00:04:55] We have twice as much junk in our homes that we do not use, and our families are half the size. [00:05:01] Neoliberalism, in a nutshell, is we have more of everything except happiness, joy, and peace. [00:05:09] That is neoliberalism. [00:05:10] And that is what Lindsey Graham is trying to defend. [00:05:13] He says everything post-World War II would be a mockery. [00:05:16] And in some ways, I say, Yeah, you know, Lindsey Graham, maybe you did go too far. [00:05:21] Maybe the idea of having a United Nations World Economic Forum elite where we're trying to globalize the world through forced assimilation is actually a failed philosophical project. [00:05:33] But no, Lady Graham and Sheldon Whitehouse and Blumenthal, and let me just say this: Lindsey Graham doing this speech flanked by the two most liberal members of the U.S. Senate should just be repulsive to anybody in the audience. [00:05:48] Okay, play cut 70, Lindsey Graham beating the drums of war. [00:05:54] Kevin McCarthy said no blank checks. [00:05:56] That makes sense to me. [00:05:58] We're not asking for a blank check. [00:06:00] I'm not. [00:06:01] I'm asking for military aid to accomplish the purpose of driving Russian invaders out of Ukraine. [00:06:08] If Putin gets away with this, there goes Taiwan. [00:06:13] If Putin's successful in Ukraine is not prosecuted under international law, everything we said since World War II becomes a joke. [00:06:22] He will continue beyond Ukraine. [00:06:26] You see, he understands what's really at stake here. [00:06:29] It's not about Ukraine. [00:06:30] It's not about Zelensky. [00:06:32] It's certainly not about the people of Ukraine who are the true victims here, and our heart goes out to them. [00:06:35] No, no, no. [00:06:36] It's about a defense. [00:06:39] It is about an entrenched position to automatically and impulsively defend neoliberalism. [00:06:51] Donald Trump, because Donald Trump walked job sites and he loved America and he built actual things, we call it common sense, we call it prudence, you can call it whatever you want. [00:07:03] He just never was a believer in neoliberal abstractions. [00:07:08] Ryan, get the clip of him on Oprah Winfrey way back in the 1970s, 1980s, where everyone was heralding in this era of international trade and invade the world, invite the world. [00:07:19] And Donald Trump, to his credit, was like, yeah, this really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. [00:07:23] Why? [00:07:24] Trump didn't spend a lot of time drinking the Kool-Aid or being in the kind of coffee rooms of the professorial or managerial elite for a builder and a pro-American icon like Donald Trump. [00:07:37] He was never really convinced or persuaded that neoliberalism was going to be this amazing answer. [00:07:44] He was against the Iraq war. [00:07:46] He was in favor of tariffs. [00:07:48] He wanted the borders to be closed. [00:07:50] Why? [00:07:50] Because Donald Trump was deeply, he deeply understood all of the philosophical underpinnings, maybe, but more likely, he just wasn't benefiting from what the managerial elite was doing is bringing in neoliberalism, which by the way also brought in so much of the social decay. [00:08:09] He just understanded it doesn't work. [00:08:10] He understood that he said, I couldn't build a building this way. [00:08:13] I couldn't build a golf course this way. [00:08:15] It was so, it was instinct, and his instinct was right. [00:08:19] And when he ran in 2015 and came down the golden escalator, he said out loud what Ross Perot tried to say and was somewhat successful, but was a little clumsy. [00:08:28] What Pat Buchanan tried to say and was a little clumsy, what Barry Goldwater tried to say and was unsuccessful. [00:08:34] And he mixed all of this energy into one box and was like, yeah, I don't understand why we're invading countries that are not going to attack us. [00:08:42] I don't understand why our southern border is completely wide open, why we're not making stuff here. [00:08:47] And that was the main reason. [00:08:50] The consensus of Washington, D.C., when we talk about the Unit Party, we talk about the regime. [00:08:54] And some people say, well, Donald Trump was clumsy too, but he became president and Ross Perot didn't. [00:09:00] And he did everything he could. [00:09:02] And albeit he had fights here and distractions there and he was attacked from every, but Donald Trump was a representation of half the country saying, yeah, we actually don't like this end of history Fukuyama saying that we're going to have neoliberal democracy and you're going to have to take it. [00:09:23] So many Republicans that represent you are not actually conservatives. [00:09:32] They're neoliberals. [00:09:36] And you see that happening in Ukraine. [00:09:38] We're going to dive into some of the details here. [00:09:41] But one of the attributes or characteristics of a neoliberal regime is a permanent administrative state. [00:09:50] And that administrative state is what is now involved with the Pence documents. [00:09:57] There's so much here. [00:09:59] But I'm going to build out Ukraine more in just a second, of which if you support sending tanks to Ukraine, please email me and tell me why. [00:10:07] I don't mean that sarcastically. [00:10:08] I'd love to hear your position as to why you support that. === The Neoliberal Administrative State (08:32) === [00:10:11] Email me freedom at charliekirk.com. [00:10:15] Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this. [00:10:20] It's a new year and you may be trying to make some positive change in your life. [00:10:24] New resolutions, habits, and thought processes. [00:10:27] But let's be honest, these efforts do not always pan out. [00:10:30] Have you ever given up after a few months because you don't see the results you were hoping for? [00:10:34] That's where Strong Cell comes in. [00:10:36] I love it. [00:10:37] In fact, I take it for every show. [00:10:39] I'm a big believer in this because it contains NADH. [00:10:44] I've kind of become a student of NAD. [00:10:46] I'm going to tell you more about that in a second. [00:10:48] Look, Strong Cell is a scientific formula that helps boost your body's natural energy and restoration at the cellular level. [00:10:56] So look, NAD is a crucial coenzyme that is critical for creating energy in your cells. [00:11:03] Now, you might say, Charlie, this sounds too good to be true. [00:11:05] NAD, go look it up online. [00:11:07] Go do five minutes of research on NAD. [00:11:09] It is a miracle coenzyme. [00:11:11] Some people call it the anti-aging enzyme. [00:11:14] It can help with depression. [00:11:15] It can help with anxiety. [00:11:17] It can help with drug detox. [00:11:18] It can help with mental acuity with memory. [00:11:20] And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen. [00:11:26] Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable. [00:11:30] By taking just one small bottle of Strong Cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days. [00:11:39] After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person. [00:11:42] But just don't take my word for it. [00:11:43] Try Strong Cell for yourself and see the difference it can make.

[00:13:05] Donald Trump was ahead of the curve criticizing neoliberalism as it was being heralded and celebrated and did legitimately make a lot of people wealthier. [00:13:16] Play Cut 72. [00:13:18] You took out a full-page ad in major U.S. newspapers last year criticizing U.S. foreign policy. [00:13:23] What would you do differently, Donald? [00:13:25] I'd make our allies, forgetting about the enemies, the enemies you can't talk to so easily, I'd make our allies pay their fair share. [00:13:31] We're a debtor nation. [00:13:32] Something's going to happen over the next number of years with this country because you can't keep going on losing 200 billion and yet we let Japan come in and dump everything right into our markets and everything. [00:13:42] It's not free trade. [00:13:43] If you ever go to Japan right now and try to sell something, forget about it, Albert. [00:13:47] Just forget about it. [00:13:47] It's almost impossible. [00:13:49] And hey, I have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. [00:13:51] I mean, you can respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you, but they are beating the hell out of this country. [00:13:56] 1988. [00:13:58] He understood it in 1988. [00:14:01] The whole idea is that America must shoulder the burden of open borders, invading sovereign countries, which is what we did in Iraq. [00:14:11] And now we are increasing the temperature in Ukraine. [00:14:17] Joe Biden just finished his press conference regarding Ukraine. [00:14:22] He says we are sending 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. [00:14:26] This is looking more and more like a war that we are taking responsibility for. [00:14:33] One of the things that leaders, failed leaders, enjoy doing is drawing your attention internationally away from what might be happening domestically. [00:14:44] 31 Abrams tanks and 5,000 armored vehicles. [00:14:48] Why don't we send that to our own border? [00:14:50] This should drive you nuts that your leaders are scrambling in both parties, scrambling to make sure that some foreign country, not America, gets weapons and assistance. [00:15:06] And let's be very clear: say, well, Charlie, what do you want tanks for? [00:15:09] Well, first and foremost, to go after the cartels, 5,000 armored vehicles. [00:15:12] Yeah, I think that would make a difference against the invasion. [00:15:15] Big time. [00:15:17] We should militarize our southern border, but that's too controversial because they call you a racist. [00:15:22] And remember, neoliberalism means an unlimited supply of people coming into your country. [00:15:29] It brings down wages, increases the consumer base. [00:15:32] It's very good for hypercorporate America. [00:15:34] It's excellent. [00:15:36] And so that you can't possibly challenge that. [00:15:39] Remember, invade the world, invite the world. [00:15:40] So you got to, it's this old expression, which is just so ridiculous. [00:15:45] The neoliberals will say, well, you know, at Creighton Beryl, it says if you break it, you buy it. [00:15:50] First of all, that's not the policy of Creighton Barrel. [00:15:53] They just made it up. [00:15:54] But that's what they say. [00:15:55] It's like, you know, if you invade a country, you're going to have to invite them. [00:15:57] That's what they say with Afghanistan. [00:15:59] That's what they've said with every one of these major invasions. [00:16:01] But it fits perfectly. [00:16:03] It fits into harmony because unlimited mass migration into your home, into your country, works in synchrony with invading the countries. [00:16:16] And we're supposed to be the world's policeman, yet we can't defend Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. [00:16:21] We're supposed to be the world's policemen and make sure Zelensky has the support he has when crime is going up all across the country. [00:16:28] At least crime over the last couple of years. [00:16:30] I don't know how crime is versus last year. [00:16:31] I've seen some statistics that it's down. [00:16:35] Some violent crime is down. [00:16:36] It varies year to year, but I believe it is up versus five years. [00:16:40] Atlanta is burning, but we have to be really concerned about Ukraine. [00:16:45] Okay, yeah, the team says violent crime is way up over five years ago. [00:16:48] I only want to be very specific because I think it went down versus last year in some numbers. [00:16:53] So I want to make sure we're clear. [00:16:56] Someone says here, Charlie, I think we should send tanks to Ukraine. [00:17:01] It's the right thing to do. [00:17:02] We have to defend our allies. [00:17:03] And that's the question. [00:17:04] Is Ukraine really an ally? [00:17:06] And why is it just the United States as well? [00:17:08] Why can't Germany shoulder the burden? [00:17:10] Germany is a very wealthy country. [00:17:12] They're incredibly productive. [00:17:14] They have some of the most valuable companies on the planet. [00:17:18] Apparently, Germany is sending tanks. [00:17:19] Okay, why do we have to send them? [00:17:22] Why is this in the United States' best interest? [00:17:26] Why is stopping Vladimir Putin from taking over Ukraine? [00:17:30] How does that impact us? [00:17:31] No, seriously, without this ridiculous argument that he's going to take over all of Europe. [00:17:35] And then they say, well, you know, he can't border a NATO country. [00:17:38] He already borders a NATO country. [00:17:39] The largest, one of the largest Russian military bases already borders Poland. [00:17:46] It's an island of Russia, and it's surrounded by Lithuania and Poland. [00:17:52] It's called Kalingrad Oblast. [00:17:54] Million people, basically a military installation. [00:17:57] So they're already bordering NATO. [00:17:59] And we're supposed to believe that Putin, who can barely take over Ukraine, is somehow going to march into Warsaw. [00:18:04] It's just preposterous. [00:18:06] No, these are fear-mongering tactics to try to continue to line the pockets of the international military-industrial complex. [00:18:15] Americans are getting poorer. [00:18:17] Americans are killing themselves. [00:18:18] Americans are overdosing with drugs. [00:18:19] Our nation is being invaded. [00:18:22] But the priority for your leaders is to jet off halfway across the world and tell you more of your money needs to go into a murky proxy war against one of the strongest countries in the world. [00:18:34] Doesn't make any sense. [00:18:37] Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. [00:18:39] January is sanctity of human life month, and we're taking a stand and making a difference. === Undermining Congressional Power (15:27) === [00:18:44] What if I told you that you could save a baby's life for just $28? [00:18:47] Well, it's true. [00:18:48] 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 pregnancy. [00:18:57] We know that pregnant girls and women who can see their babies on ultrasound are far more likely to choose life. [00:19:03] Your gift today can save babies' lives. [00:19:05] $140 can save five mothers a free ultrasound and save babies. [00:19:10] $280 can save 10 babies and just $28 a month can save a baby for less than a dollar a day. [00:19:16] And a $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come. [00:19:20] Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away. [00:19:25] There's no better time than the sanctity of human life month to save a baby. [00:19:29] Join us. [00:19:29] Call 833-850BABY or go to preborn.org. [00:19:37] There is this constant controversy about whether or not Eric Swalwell, who almost assuredly slept with a Chinese spy and Adam Schiff, who was just a pathological liar, should be on the House Intel Committee. [00:19:52] Now, Kevin McCarthy, who many of you in this audience, you were rather brutal and dare I say it, cruel towards Kevin McCarthy, made a promise when he wanted to become Speaker of the House that he was not going to put Swalwell or Schiff on the committees. [00:20:07] And he's making good on that promise, and the Democrats are losing their mind. [00:20:11] The Speaker of the House has the ability to block certain members of Congress from going on committees. [00:20:17] Kevin McCarthy is using that power, and he is basically sending a memo and a message to the Democrats. [00:20:23] You guys keep on treating us the way you did with the January 6th committee. [00:20:27] You try to block some of our members from committees. [00:20:29] We're not going to play ball with that. [00:20:31] We're not going to allow Elon Omar and Swalwell and Schiff to be able to sit on these intel committees that require not just access to confidential information, but they leak it regularly. [00:20:45] They abused it. [00:20:46] And by the way, Omar was Foreign Affairs, just to be clear. [00:20:50] Who's to say that Eric Swalwell, who slept with a Chinese spy, would not continue to misuse or abuse classified or confidential information? [00:21:00] Isn't that the whole saga right now is around the mishandling of classified information? [00:21:06] Let's go to Cut 57. [00:21:08] McCarthy speaks about his decision to keep Adam Schiff from sitting on the intelligence committee, play cut 57. [00:21:15] What Adam Schiff did, use his power as a chairman and lie to the American public. [00:21:19] Even the inspector general said it. [00:21:21] When Devin Nunes put out a memo, he said it was false. [00:21:24] When we had a laptop, he used it before an election to be politics and say that it was false and said it was the Russians. [00:21:31] When he knew different. [00:21:32] So no, he does not have a right to sit on that. [00:21:34] So yes, he can serve on a committee, but he will not serve on Intel because it goes to the national security of America. [00:21:41] And I will always put them first. [00:21:43] Just so we're clear, a Republican Speaker of the House, in my memory, has not done this. [00:21:51] I don't even think Newt Gingrich did this. [00:21:54] Obviously, Denny Hassert, who's a freak, didn't do this. [00:21:57] And if you want, we could do a whole segment on Denny Hassert one day, but not a good guy. [00:22:03] He was Speaker of the House under George W. Bush. [00:22:05] John Boehner certainly didn't do this. [00:22:07] Paul Ryan didn't do this. [00:22:10] So Kevin McCarthy is making good on this promise, and the media is going after him. [00:22:14] He says, you know what? [00:22:14] No, you're not going on the Intel Committee. [00:22:18] Welcome to the new Congress. [00:22:20] McCarthy continues, play cut 58. [00:22:24] Swalwell, let's talk about Swalwell because you have not had the briefing that I had. [00:22:28] The FBI never came before this Congress to tell the leadership of this Congress that Eric Swalwell had a problem with a Chinese spy until he served on Intel. [00:22:39] So it wasn't just us who were concerned about. [00:22:42] The FBI was concerned about putting a member of Congress on the Intel Committee that has the rights to see things that others don't because of his knowledge and relationship with the Chinese spy. [00:22:54] I've got that briefing. [00:22:56] So I do not believe he should sit on that committee. [00:22:59] And I believe there's 200 other Democrats that can serve on that committee. [00:23:04] I got a briefing that Eric Swalwell slept with a Chinese spy. [00:23:08] So then Lawrence O'Donnell, the failed West Wing writer who has a show that nobody watches on MSNBC, had the ingrate, had Shifty Schiff, and the lover of Fang Fang on what just ended up being must-see television. [00:23:25] So At 5'8 from the Bay Area, you got the adulterer CCP compromised, Eric Swalell. [00:23:37] At 5'1, you have the ungrateful Somali immigrant who may or may not have had, let's just say, inappropriate romantic affairs with her brother and or committed marriage fraud. [00:23:54] We don't know that, but the evidence is rather interesting, never been investigated. [00:23:59] And at 5'9, you have one of the more startling receding hairlines in American politics of a man who, if he tells the truth, will break into a million pieces, Adam Schiff, who by definition must lie. [00:24:15] It's part of his internal operating system, who is also a failed screenwriter. [00:24:21] You just can't come. [00:24:23] You cannot create a better roster than that. [00:24:29] Play cut 66. [00:24:32] But Lawrence, what we're seeing here is that the new McCarthy looks a lot like the old McCarthy, an individual who would abuse their political power to exact political vengeance. [00:24:43] So he's going to regret the day that he has given me more free time, Lawrence, because I'm not going to be quiet. [00:24:49] I'm not going to back down. [00:24:50] I'm with Mr. Schiff and Ms. Omar in the breach. [00:24:52] I'm going to do everything I can over the next two years to hold Mr. McCarthy and the people he struck this corrupt bargain with accountable. [00:25:00] These people are unbelievable. [00:25:02] Yeah, I have all this free time now to continue to sleep around and have affairs with Chinese spies. [00:25:10] And Lawrence O'Donnell's so unbelievably corrupt. [00:25:12] Now, I didn't see the whole segment. [00:25:13] Maybe he did this. [00:25:14] Has anybody in the regime media just said, hey, Eric Swallow, any comment on the fact that you've had romantic affairs with a Chinese spy that also, if I'm not mistaken, my memory serves correctly, served as an intern in your office? [00:25:28] That's correct, isn't it? [00:25:29] If I remember correctly, Fang Fang also served as an intern in his office. [00:25:35] Either that or was Fang Fang's friend. [00:25:37] It was something like that. [00:25:38] Adam Schiff speaks about McCarthy removing him from the Intel Committee. [00:25:43] I love how they gather all their power together. [00:25:45] All of us have received death threats. [00:25:47] Look, I just got a death threat right here, freedom at charliekirk.com. [00:25:50] That person will not be arrested. [00:25:52] We send them to the police. [00:25:53] Unfortunately, no one gets arrested. [00:25:55] It's part of public life. [00:25:56] I don't like it. [00:25:57] You don't like it. [00:25:57] Stop trying to play the victim, pal. [00:25:59] All right? [00:26:00] Play cut 67. [00:26:02] All three of us, Lawrence, have been the subject of innumerable death threats. [00:26:07] It is a sad reality in the Trump era. [00:26:10] And so, yes, we take security and safety very seriously because we've experienced threats to ourselves and our families. [00:26:18] McCarthy obviously doesn't care about that. [00:26:21] His actions are only going to accentuate the risks. [00:26:24] And particularly, empowering people that encourage violence against others is exactly the wrong message. [00:26:32] I mean, I'm so exhausted with this. [00:26:34] I don't make a habit of this, but look. [00:26:36] Charlie, did you say we should send tanks to the southern border? [00:26:39] You sick effer? [00:26:40] Somebody should just stab you in front and watch you bleed out. [00:26:43] A matter of fact, I might do it myself. [00:26:45] Where are you right now? [00:26:46] You effing sick bastard. [00:26:47] Just got that right here while we're on air. [00:26:49] Get them all the time. [00:26:50] All the time. [00:26:51] Do I make it a big part of my schtick? [00:26:53] No. [00:26:54] If you are in public life, you will repeatedly get messages and emails of people that individually want to murder you. [00:27:00] Send it to police, send it to DHS. [00:27:02] No one gets arrested. [00:27:03] They say there's nothing they can do. [00:27:04] Maybe one day someone will get arrested. [00:27:06] I hope they do their job. [00:27:07] Certainly, I've just become cynical about it. [00:27:09] You hire private security. [00:27:10] You carry a firearm. [00:27:12] If you want to dance, let's dance. [00:27:14] Cut 73, Adam Schiff continues. [00:27:16] But, you know, a big part of what McCarthy's trying to do here, in part, in part, certainly is placating Marjorie Taylor Greene and the crazies in his conference. [00:27:24] It's also an effort to render ineffective Democratic opposition to what they're doing, Democratic oversight to the abuses that are sure to come. [00:27:35] And you're looking at members who all take their oversight responsibility seriously. [00:27:39] He's trying to undermine that. [00:27:41] Trying to undermine that. [00:27:43] Kevin McCarthy deserves credit here, though, that he is digging in against three of the more, let's just say, television, the more popular television personalities of the Democrat Party. [00:27:57] The ingrate, Elon Omar, I got in a debate with somebody the other day. [00:28:01] I was spirited where he, you know, this person said, you know, Charlie, I don't know if it was a debate. [00:28:06] That's not fair to say. [00:28:06] It was a discussion, a really smart guy, and I appreciate him. [00:28:09] He said, you know, the U.S. Constitution can be applied to any culture and any background. [00:28:14] I said, well, Elon Omar is not exactly making a compelling case that the mass infusion of Somali immigrants are able to assimilate successfully into Western constitutional republic tradition in life. [00:28:27] Not exactly. [00:28:27] Elon Omar is the mascot for why we need to have an immigration moratorium in our country. [00:28:34] The ingrate, cut 68. [00:28:37] Trump chose to use my name at every single rally, and that increased the level of death threats that I was getting. [00:28:46] And I know that what they're engaged in now will continue to incite violence against my family and the families of Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff. [00:29:00] Again, no one likes receiving death threats. [00:29:02] It's part of the game. [00:29:03] I'm tired of hearing about it. [00:29:05] Tell me why you should be on the committee, not why some lunatics are emailing you. [00:29:11] I don't like it. [00:29:12] I receive them. [00:29:13] You receive them. [00:29:15] But instead, they use this as kind of a shield against any sort of accusation, against any sort of criticism. [00:29:26] It is deeply unhelpful to discourse, to dialogue, but good for the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, of which I know many of you in this audience have and have had and have problems with, whatever. [00:29:43] But Swawal, Omar, and Schiff, that is not an insignificant fight. [00:29:46] That is using political power to say, we are changing the way we do things. [00:29:53] You guys mess around, you leak information, you sleep with Chinese spies. [00:29:59] Elon Omar, you do what Elon Omar does. [00:30:01] You're not going to be able to sit on committees. [00:30:03] Good for Kevin McCarthy. [00:30:05] He deserves credit for that. [00:30:06] And I hope that most of the audience can agree with that. [00:30:11] And by the way, it's not even all committees. [00:30:12] It's the Intel Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee, of which includes confidential information. [00:30:17] Pete Buttigieg, the automaton, the cyborg that has been programmed for such a time as this. [00:30:24] You know, in Christian circles, people talk quite frequently about Esther, Queen Esther, one of my favorite books of the Bible. [00:30:33] And the quote that is, the Bible verse that is used is, for such a time as this. [00:30:38] And it's a beautiful verse, and it's used often in Christian circles. [00:30:41] And for Pete Buttigieg, he was programmed for such a time as this. [00:30:45] The cyborg was deployed for such a time as this that we now can have a gay robot running the transportation sector. [00:30:57] Because he says, look, whether we realize it or not, every single transportation crisis is actually a climate decision. [00:31:08] Every issue that we encounter needs to be looked at through the lens of environmentalism. [00:31:15] Play cut 40. [00:31:17] We're also looking at what's going to benefit our supply chains, lead to economic strength, support jobs. [00:31:23] We're looking at investments that are fair, that contribute to equitable economic growth. [00:31:27] We're looking at climate impacts because every transportation decision in the 21st century is a climate decision, whether we recognize it or not. [00:31:36] These people are such frauds. [00:31:38] Again, he is a cyborg, okay? [00:31:39] I do what I am told by my masters at Amazon and at Google and at all of the. [00:31:45] So Budajej is nothing more than someone that has been pre-programmed to do the bidding of the world's oligarchy. [00:31:53] That's Pete Budajeg. [00:31:54] He does so willingly and happily. [00:31:56] What I find to be hilarious is that one of his shticks is that bridges are racist while he does the entire television interview in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. [00:32:06] His whole one of his shtick is that bridges are so racist. [00:32:10] Meanwhile, make sure that my television shot is just perfect in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, just beautifully tailored as I'm transportation secretary. [00:32:20] And again, if I were to pick a city that was not exactly a shining example of, let's just say, solving potholes, congestion, traffic, homelessness, vagrancy, functionality, I wouldn't do San Francisco as the shining city on the hill. [00:32:39] Just wouldn't. [00:32:40] Now, in all fairness, Dallas, Texas has a lot of work to do with their infrastructure. [00:32:45] Most auto fatalities per capita is in Dallas, Texas. [00:32:47] I don't think this is necessarily a Republican or Democrat issue as all. [00:32:50] Some of the worst roads in the world are in Republican-run states. [00:32:53] They just are, it's a fact, and that's something that needs to be solved. [00:32:57] But San Francisco, of course, is aesthetically beautiful. [00:32:59] Have you been to San Francisco lately? [00:33:02] Buttigej, I just love it. [00:33:03] He's, of course, Buddha Jej is doing this interview all about how climate change is the biggest threat in front of the racist Golden Gate Bridge. [00:33:10] After that interview, I guarantee you, Buddha Jej at a roundtable, a coffee, or some sort of a session with all of the oligarchy puppet masters that he is pandering to. [00:33:21] All of them. [00:33:21] Because they're all headquartered there in Menlo Park right down the street. [00:33:26] Budajej says that the 21st century transportation decisions must be viewed through a climate lens. [00:33:34] They don't actually believe that, okay? [00:33:36] The fascination, the obsession with climate change, which we call environmental totalitarianism, is a means to the end. [00:33:43] It's a means to be able to get people to give up their control, to give up their liberty, to give up your autonomy, to give up your agency to a collective leviathan, the fourth branch of government, the administrative state, so that they can have more power and you can have less power. [00:33:59] Environmentalism is a means to the end. [00:34:03] This is why, if you are not studied or at least understanding of biblical principles of the very simple question, why is nature there? === Nature Serves the Human Species (01:19) === [00:34:11] Why is nature there? [00:34:12] Is nature there because it's a moral equivalent to us? [00:34:15] Or is nature there to serve us? [00:34:17] Nature is there to serve the human species. [00:34:20] It's very simple. [00:34:21] Says it repeatedly in the scriptures. [00:34:23] Could not be more clear. [00:34:24] And take dominion over the earth. [00:34:28] We are not on equal footing with nature. [00:34:30] Nature is there to serve us. [00:34:31] So that means the aesthetic of nature is there to serve us. [00:34:33] That means that the resource is there to serve us. [00:34:35] That means the wildlife is there to serve us. [00:34:37] That also means that if you believe it's there to serve us, you should conserve it because that is being prudent and rational with handing down this incredible God-made beauty. [00:34:46] However, you do not ever make a decision to protect nature when human beings could otherwise be benefited. [00:34:54] That's what's going on with environmental totalitarianism with natural gas, with the shutting down of fossil fuels. [00:35:00] They are elevating nature above humanity. [00:35:07] It's what happens when you hyper-secularize your society and you get cyborgs like Pete Budigej running your transportation grid. [00:35:16] Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
