My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord.

Good morning. We are joined right off the top here by Representative Eli Crane, a great American, a great patriot. He's fighting hard for us in the House of representatives in D.C. welcome back to the show, Congressman. So much to get to. Honored to have you.
B (1:32)
Hey, thanks for having me on, guys. I really appreciate it.
C (1:35)
Yeah, absolutely. There is so much congressional news, it's tough to know where to start. I'm gonna start with, however, some of the breaking news this morning. There is a kill switch piece of legislation where the government can apparently just turn off your car. Am I understanding this right, Congressman? And yet a number of Republicans voted with Democrats to keep this piece of legislation moving forward. Tell us about it.
B (1:58)
Yeah, obviously we've been trying to get back to regular order here and vote through the appropriations bills, which we're supposed to every year. As you guys know, it usually doesn't happen. We usually fund the government through an omnibus or a cr. So I am glad to see that the House is actually moving in regular order. What I'm not glad to see is the House basically buying Democrat votes and, you know, allowing a lot of these Democrat amendments in. And it's never good to see Republicans voting for stuff like this. I, you know, I think it is exposing the American people. Get to see where individual members of Congress stand on certain issues. And I can't even imagine why any Republican member of the House, you know, would vote to allow kill switches in vehicles so that the Government or you know, some agency can shut off your car if they don't like what you're doing.
