Where is the cat? Today's a good day for the cat. I don't have any update on the cat. We know the cat will break the Internet but I don't have any update on its status.

A (22:14)

Real investigative journalism. And so here's an actual question that's being asked, unlike whether or not there is a cat in the White House. Kid you not that's a legitimate question. Do you think Kayleigh McEnany got a question like that? Do you think Sarah Sanders or Sean Spicer? Basically, the question that was asked out of Kayleigh McEnany every single day is, does Donald Trump enjoy beating you guys in the morning with a rod? Does he enjoy that? That's like the question which, of course, is the old fallacy. There's no way you could possibly answer that question. Cut 26 a reporter asks about the amount of migrants in this country. Again, these are not migrants. These are border jumpers. Cut 26 follow up on that, Jim, thanks.

B (23:01)

There are reports out there that the number of unaccompanied migrants detained at the border has tripled in the last two weeks to 3200 plus. Is that number accurate?

A (23:10)

Ms.

B (23:11)

I'm not going to confirm numbers from here. Obviously, the Department of Homeland Security and others oversee the programs and the engagements that happen at the border. Those numbers are tracked by the Department of Homeland Security. So I'm certainly I'm just suggesting that you talk to them about specifics. I'll talk to them, Jen. They won't confirm the numbers. Ms. Well, I would encourage you to go back to them and ask them again. We're not going to confirm them from the White House. It's not our program.

A (23:31)

Not our program, not our responsibility. It's a different government. That's basically the argument she's making. Department of Homeland Security. It's not like it's a cabinet position or anything. Now, of course, Joe Biden ran on the buck stops here. Elect me, I'm going to solve all your problems. And for people that are now regretting their Biden vote, I know some of these people, they say, well, I didn't vote for this. Wow. Cut 36 Biden administration saying that the crisis the border is not a crisis and that we don't need to put labels on it because we know it. Cut 36 do you believe that right

B (24:07)

now there's a crisis at the border?

D (24:09)

I think that the answer is no at this point. Is this a crisis at the border?

B (24:15)

Look, I don't think we need to sit here and put new labels on. What we have already conveyed is challenging.

A (24:21)

And so a lot of people are asking now, well, what should our border policy be? Well, first of all, we should have a zero tolerance Policy for anyone crossing into our country illegally. And so Joe Biden and the Democrats, they want a suggestion of a southern border, almost a non existent southern border. And why do they want that? They want millions of people to come into the country because eventually they believe they'll vote Democrat. They can use it as a political issue despite the amount of crime that is then being imported into our country. This idea of the peaceful illegal is just not true. And most people are afraid to talk about this because they are afraid they are going to be called the R word. Well, we talk about facts on this program and here they are. In the fiscal year 2019, ICE agents arrested more than 143,000 people in the interior of the United States. The most convictions or criminal charges pending against them were DUI, 74,000 drug offenses, 67,000 and 1900 convicted of homicide. That's right, 1900 murderers that just allowed to come straight into our country. Convictions or criminal charges of the aliens arrested also included 1800 homicide related crimes, 1600 kidnappings, 37,000 assaults and 10,000 sex crimes. Of those 4,276 were known are suspected gang members, 675 of whom are believed to have been gang members. Of the brutal Ms. 1331 were known or suspected terrorists. Of all Those arrested by ICE in fiscal year 2020, 90% had criminal convictions or charged at the time of arrest. The Founding Fathers warned us about something and I mentioned this on Steve Hilton's program on Fox News and it resonated with some people. But I think I could build it out a little bit better here, which is the Founding fathers warned us that if you're ever in a set of circumstances where the rulers, the people that make the laws, the people that administer the rules and laws don't live under the laws that they pass, then you will no longer have a republic. You will have a dictatorship or a tyranny. That is the ultimate description. That is the best way to describe the death of a republic. When you have people that make the rules that don't live under the rules. We went under this, we lived through this. I should say under, we went through this under in the Obamacare debate when Congress was exempting themselves from Obamacare, understand that members of Congress are exempt from the cost and the consequences of illegal immigration. Their neighborhoods, their private schools, their colleges, their corporations, their country clubs will not be impacted by another 5 million Nicaraguans coming into America. Meanwhile, 17 million Americans remain unemployed in the United States all seeking full time work. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 6.9 million people are out of the labor force entirely and 6.1 million people remain underemployed. So therefore, by definition, you bring in another 5 or 6 million people into the country. Well, whose jobs are they going to take? And will it actually result in wages going higher? The answer is of course not. But we have a set of circumstances. We have a group of rulers that are not impacted day to day by the decisions they make against you at all. Instead, they're able to say, we want you to live a certain way because it will benefit our own political future. Republicans want open borders like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney because it benefits their corporate agenda. Jake on our team mentioned something the other day. He went to Bain Capital's website. I encourage you to go to Bain Capital's website, Bain Capital, which is Mitt Romney's former employer. He started Bain Capital, whatever. And it says on there that they are going to dedicate $100 million to Woke Capital investments or black driven enterprise. Right, Something like that. We'll get the exact word. Bain Capital wants open borders. Bain Capital, right here. Our commitment to achieving racial equity and social justice. Provide more than $100 million to our partners over the next 10 years to organizations focused on social justice, civil rights and racial equality. Create economic development initiative. Improve diverse representation. The time for change is now. We must do better. We are committed to. This is all part of a woke supremacist agenda, or what we call the WOKE industrial complex. And basically it benefits everyone except the country and people who love the country. And the open border crisis that we have right now contributes to this directly. Instead of addressing the crisis we have in America of mental health, suicide, opioid addiction, business closures, the death of entrepreneurship, student debt, the erosion of the middle class. Our leaders say, you know the way that we're going to be able to address all of this? Let's open up the floodgates to the third world. With no attempts whatsoever to try to stem or prevent this and remake America quickly in our image. If a country does not have a shared history, language or culture, it is no longer a country. And it comes down to this fundamental question. Is America our home or is it a colony? Or most importantly, is America a country that has an economy in it? Or is America an economy that happens to be within a country? America's our home and it's our country. The economy comes second. So are you making full use of your savings? Think of the times that you've yearned for better returns after real inflation charges and taxes Are you even making a profit? With food, clothing and rents all more doubling over the last 10 years, you need to do something different. Gambling on Robinhood or stocks might lose you everything you have. And like thousands of others, you want to retire stress free. A precious metals IRA with Noble Gold could be the answer you've been looking for. And this month Noble Gold is gifting a genuine rare Carson City minted gold Morgan silver dollar with every qualifying IRA or 401k. These coins were around in a time when an ounce of silver was worth a dollar. For example, in 1893, a mint condition coin is now worth more than $3,250. A staggering 320 500% increase. That's a return of 2,500% a year. It is a hedge against inflation. We know inflation is coming. So if you want something you can touch and something you can feel and something you can trade and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you noblegoldinvestments.com or call 877-646-5347. That's noblegold investments.com It's Wednesday, so that means we go right into the professor watch list. Professor watchlist.org that's professorwatchlist.org you guys can read alongside me a project of Turning Point USA where we profile professors so you understand where your tuition dollars are going and why the country is headed in a very uncertain direction. Today's professor watch list. We are talking about Amber Catherine. She is a professor at Santa Monica College. She's a professor of philosophy. Now before I go any further, philosophy comes from two Greek words, philo, which means love. It's where we get the idea of brotherly love. Not agape love, not storge love or eros love, but phileo love, brotherly love, but a love that is non romantic but still very serious and respected. And wisdom. So the love of wisdom, that's where we get the word philosophy from. As I start to talk more about Amber Catherine, you can see she does not love wisdom. So Catherine, Amber Catherine teaches your children this. She serves as a co organizer of an event facilitating and helping students marry the ocean. That's right. She oversees a pagan ceremony where students are able to participate in a ceremony of giving their vows to nature. She called this the Eco Sextravaganza. The Eco Sextravaganza described as a quote rallying called to incite intergenerational barrier busting planetary dialogue. According to the cosair And I'm reading from professor watchlist.org, remember, these are the people that are teaching your children and grandchildren. Aren't you lucky to spend $70,000 a year? They have these very enlightened people. Teach your children a student newspaper at Santa Monica College covering the event. Students underwent an eco boot camp as part of the Eco Sextravaganza. Organizers included University of California professor Elizabeth Stevens and a pornographic actress, Annie Sprinkle. Organizers IMPACT instructed the students in attendance to, quote, view Earth as a lover rather than as a mother or another being rather than a separate entity. In another interview with Campus Reform, Catherine stated the goals of the event were for students to develop a deeper love and lust for America. So when I say the left is actually engaged in Earth worship, they are participants. Marry the ocean in a ceremony conducted on the beach the following day. Today we stand upon this holy earth and in this sacred space to witness the rite of matrimony between the sea and us all. And students happily participate in this. You see, this is what happens when you have no God, you have no wisdom. Therefore you enter a state of confusion and you don't understand what the purpose of nature is. So because Amber Catherine has no wisdom, she looks around, she says, well, nature must be there for us to have some sort of eco sextravaganza relationship with. And your children learn this. Why do you think that young millennials in Santa Monica who are married don't want to have children? Maybe because they've been learning from Amber Catherine that children pollute the Earth and we work for the Earth and we are nothing but visitors here on this planet. Which of course biblical wisdom will tell you the exact opposite, that the Earth is here for us. I believe in human supremacy over the planet, all human beings. By the way, there's a human hierarchy. The water, the sun, the mountains, the air, the birds and the animals are there for our pleasure, our flourishing, our multiplication replication. We are not here to get in some sort of a strange relationship with the Earth. We should not abuse the Earth, we should respect it, and it's in our self interest to do so. But indulging in this quasi paganistic belief that Amber Catherine advances shows exactly the heart of the American environmentalist movement, and it's headquartered on a college campus near you. I love some of the emails that we get here. Here's one from Tom emailed us freedomarliekirk.com Charlie, thank you so much for mentioning the Federalist article yesterday about the Naperville School District 203 bringing in the Critical race theory program to teachers. My child goes to the Naperville school district and I didn't know about this. This stuff obviously goes on without public knowledge. I'm sick to my stomach. This is patent racism against everyone. Frankly, I read both articles on the Federalist wrote last night. The school district is shameful. From this, I hope more parents will be informed and involved now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So yesterday I spent time with some friends and they listen on AM560 the answer. And they listened to the Charlie Kirk show podcast of which we are very thankful. And I was talking to some guys that were running for school board, really good guys, and they're doing the right thing. And they did not even know about the Illinois State Board of Education new guidelines that were put in. There are people that are in the positions or running to be in the positions that don't even know everything that's happening in these states or these school districts. So that's what we try to do here. We try to have exposure. We are doing what the activist media is supposed to do. In fact, that is the theme of our upcoming episode with Cheryl Atkinson, who's terrific. So make sure to check that out. I've never seen such powerful people complain so much and try to get sympathy from the rest of the population. Have you noticed how the ruling class when anything doesn't go their way or they don't have record sales that they want or desire the new way to give yourself permanency? Well, it's first. The first way is by buying progressive insurance and no, not the company is do the correct woke action items and that will save your career. The second thing though then is to then play the victim like Meghan Markle. Now Piers Morgan. I don't know if Piers Morgan was fired or Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain. Is that the name of the show, Good Morning Britain? I don't know if he resigned or was fired, but it's outrageous. Pierce said nothing wrong. In fact, I went way more direct after Meghan Markle and I can tell you right now, we're not going anywhere. For whatever reason, Meghan Markle is not allowed to be criticized. Very ungrateful, unhappy woman. Meghan Markle and Tucker Carlson played on this perfectly. Tucker, I think, is one of the wisest people on television. He talked about Taylor Lorenz and how on International Women's Day she complained about how hard life is. This is a very important point that I want to build out. But first let's let Tucker begin the argument. Play tape

D (41:09)

the Most powerful people claiming to be powerless. Taylor Lorenz, for example, writes for the New York Times. She's at the very top of journalism's repulsive little food chain. Lorenz is far younger than prominent New York Times reporters used to be. She's also much less talented. You'd think Taylor Lorenz would be grateful for the remarkable good luck that she's had, but no, she's not. Just this morning, she tweeted this quote for International Women's Day. Please consider supporting women enduring online harassment. It's not an exaggeration to say that the harassment and smear campaign I've had to endure over the past year has destroyed my life.

C (41:46)

Hmm.

D (41:47)

Destroyed her life, really. By most people's standards, Taylor Lorenz would seem to have a pretty good life. One of the best lives in the country, in fact. Lots of people are suffering right now, but no one's suffering quite as much as Taylor Lorenz is suffering. People have criticized her opinions on the Internet, and it destroyed her life. Let's pause on this International Women's Day and recognize that you thought female Uyghurs had it bad. You haven't talked to Taylor Lorenz,

A (42:15)

and people online are now saying that Tucker Carlson is trying to target and dox her because he kept on saying her name over and over again. If you're in the public limelight, you're gonna get online harassment. Everyone has different ways of dealing with it. I've chose to deal with it by not having the apps on my phone. And also, I don't care. It's kind of an extra boost. In fact, I like it when they write about things we have to say. I don't actually. This is a very interesting point. The things that bother me the most are the misrepresentations of what I have to say. You see, when the Daily Mail and all these news outlets wrote accurately what I had to say about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, it's like, this is a perfect article. People are texting it to me and they're saying, wow, the Daily Mail has. I'm like, it's perfect. It's exactly what I said. If I would have wanted to correct it, I would have done that. But what I don't like is when people misrepresent what I have to say or they misrepresent who I am. That bothers me. But for Taylor Lorenzo, she brings up a point that is very interesting, which is that the ruling class is so deeply unhappy, and they're unhappy because they don't have wisdom, cheerfulness is a byproduct of wisdom. They're also unhappy because they don't have purpose. And their purpose for the last couple years has been pathologically destroying Donald Trump because they thought of him as a Benito Mussolini figure. So their identity was wrapped up in this moral high ground that every action they took, every flight that they flew on, every meal they ate, every tweet they sent, they felt as if this is our Mussolini moment, we will take him over, and we will be known as the good guys. They realize Trump is gone and their life is devoid of purpose, meaning shallow, empty. So many of these people are now looking for a new enemy. Antagonist is a good word to fill that void. So how do they fill the void? The Oppression Olympics. You see, college campuses are not good at a lot of things, but they produce oppressed Olympians better than I've ever seen. So here's how the Oppression Olympics work. It's a competition of who can get the most virtue signaling points. If you're a black lesbian woman in a wheelchair, you are, by definition, more oppressed in the hierarchy of the left than a white Anglo Saxon Protestant male. And if you dare challenge any of this Oppression Olympic nonsense, we're going to call you the R word. You see, this is where the broader population of our country needs to mock and reject people all up and down the chattering class and the activist media and the Netflix, Hulu Paramount production class. Anytime that they try to say, feel sorry for us, life is so hard, you know who we should feel sorry for? The people that could truly participate in the Victim Olympics. How about the 40,000 families that lost loved ones to opioid addiction last year? I think that those families probably had a more difficult year than Taylor Lorenz, who probably earned six figures a year to go write mountains of drivel for the New York Times. You see, Second Wave feminism, for a brief moment, was about rising above your circumstances, being tougher. What college campuses should do, which they don't do, is teach young people that the world is a dark and uncertain place. We are going to make you tougher and more capable and more able to deal with the inevitable suffering of life and rise above your circumstances. Instead, college does the opposite. Not just college, our whole media. It says, let's teach you how to complain and remove anything in your life around you that you don't like and turn you into an activist. A common point of concern is what's happening on the southern border. And we've built that out in great detail. And one of our listeners here says Charlie, both the right and the left are to blame for what's happening on the southern border. And the answer is absolutely correct. And so the Republicans have decided to do nothing when it comes to the southern border, because the Chamber of Commerce, the national Chamber of Commerce, not your local chamber of commerce, has been demanding cheap labor for decades. And then you have a flow of cheap labor, an unregistered border jumping class, which then becomes illegally domiciled into our country, taking work from Americans. And that's one of the biggest lies that I hear. I heard this from a ruling class member recently at an undisclosed location. He says, charlie, I listened to your program, I listened to your podcast. He was very complimentary, and he does listen. He said, but I have to tell you, all my years of business, all my years of doing merger and acquisitions, building companies, and he has a very, very impressive career. He said, Mexicans, Nicaraguans and El Salvadorians and Hondurans are doing jobs Americans don't want to do. I'm sure you've heard this before from your friends or from popular media. In fact, the liberals will commonly say, the leftists, I should say, and even the chamber of commerce types, they'll say, well, who's going to pick your vegetables? Well, first of all, that's an incredibly racist thing to say. To think that the only thing a border jumper is capable of doing is. Is picking vegetables. You are now implying a racial stereotype that I'm not. So the. The onus of racism is on you. But the question should be, what did we do on our country before we had a porous southern border? How did we get all this stuff done prior to that? Well, H.W. bush, from president from 1988 to 1992, changed immigration law forever. Ronald Reagan's single greatest failure was. I think it was the Simpson Mazzoli. We talked about this a couple weeks ago. There's so many of these commissions. McCain, Feingold, Simpson, Bowles. I think it's Simpson Mazzoli. 1986, 1987. Reagan even said it was his biggest mistake. Ronald Reagan said himself this was his biggest failure as president, where he basically, yeah, it was Simpson, Mazzulli. Aha. Where he basically granted amnesty to millions of people. It was a lot more complicated than that. But I'm paraphrasing the essence of the bill. Then H.W. bush said, you know what the problem with America is? The problem in America is not the declining middle class. It's not reckless, endless wars. Now, remember, H.W. bush was president during a very consequential moment in human history, it was the end of the Soviet Union. So here's a trivia question for you. What did H.W. bush say? What speech did he give when the Berlin Wall fell? And if you're struggling to remember, you're right. He didn't give a speech. In fact, Peggy Noonan, who is a establishment Republican biographer who writes for the Wall Street Journal, very smart, but she was very nasty to Trump in the last couple years and they were feuding back and forth. But she was also a biographer of Ronald Reagan, H.W. bush, very, very, very smart woman. Recently, she allowed Trump to get to her and vice versa. However, she has a great quote and she was a speechwriter for Reagan. She has phenomenal diction. Word selection is just terrific, albeit very, very foolish at times in her approach to Trump. But she said, she says, according to all sources, H.W. bush did not want to give a speech after the Berlin Wall fell because he, quote, did not want to rub it in. What an unbelievable missed opportunity. We beat Soviet communism based on the theological debate, the theological debate of the Soviets. Their position was that Stalinism and Leninism and Mother Russia is the ultimate good and everyone must do what they can to preserve and protect it. Our theological perspective is that we are in a vertical relationship as human beings with God first, then country, family, individual. And there's a very important takeaway here to what H.W. bush did next. And I'm going to debunk this idea of, well, Americans aren't going to do this, these jobs. The opposite is the truth and I can prove it to you. CharlieKirk.com is the place for all the latest news and information. You guys should make. Charliekirk.com your homepage. Strong suggestion, strong recommendation. Charliekirk.com is terrific. I have my latest piece on the 2000/year-old playbook for you to check out. In fact, I can read some pieces here from charliekirk.com do you know that 25% of all the border jumpers that have come into the United States have tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus. Some prosecutors have signaled that they might want charges for Governor Whitmer. And Joe Biden's Department of Justice nominee fell for the Smollett Hate hoax and said police were, quote, demonizing survivors. All of that and more on charliekirk.com it is should be your launching off point for all of our podcasts, latest news information. If you want to support us, you can do that there as well. So check it out. Charliekirk.com okay. We hear from people all the time there are jobs that Americans won't do. We need immigrants because they will fill gaps in the labor market, gaps in the labor force. When a study actually goes to show that many of the jobs that we stereotype immigrants to go into are actually more dominated by Americans than not. Do you know that 73% of all janitors are native born? 65% of all construction workers are native born. 66% of all grounds and maintenance workers are native born. 64% of all butchers and meat processors are native born. And I'm reading here, I believe, from the center for Immigration Studies, I think taxi drivers and chauffeurs, 54% native born. What the real discussion is is not what Americans are willing or unwilling to do. The question is, are they willing to do it at that wage? Are they willing to do that job to be able to support a middle class lifestyle? There are 65 occupations in the United States in which 25% or more of the workers are immigrants, both legal and illegal. I don't consider illegals to be immigrants. In these high immigrant occupations, There are still 16.5 million natives, accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force. If you are over the age of 40, your high school experience was completely and totally different than mine. And especially to what high schoolers are doing right now. If you talk to a group of people between the ages of 45 to 60 and you ask them how many of you had a high school job, Almost every single hand will go up. Both my parents did. I did not. Now, what H.W. bush did in the early 90s, Soviet Union falls. So you see, H.W. bush believed that the two biggest problems that America needed to solve is that we were not currently in enough wars and we did not have enough foreigners. H.W. bush was very worried about that. So he eroded American sovereignty. He did some good things too. He put Clarence Thomas on the U.S. supreme Court, who has been a phenomenal justice. And remember, H.W. bush started the Central Intelligence Agency. He was one of the first people to run it. And what did H.W. bush do before he ran the CIA? Oh, he was in China. Interesting history. So H.W. bush changed our immigration policies forever. So I was born in 1993. H.W. bush. And we'll get the exact number. I think at its height in the early 90s, we were bringing in 1.2 million people legally into America per year, not including illegal crossing into America. And so as a consequence of that, I was born in 93. Twelve years later, in 2005, we kept up those policies, 2005, 2007, my local community, the Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg area, they didn't need high school workers. The local movie theater, the local manufacturing plant, they were able to get by without having 14, 15, 16 and 17 year olds come chip in over the summer. Now there's a positive to part of that, and I'm willing to admit it. I was able to play AAU basketball, I was able to become an Eagle Scout. I was able to do other recreational activities other than working with my hands and working at a movie theater, working at a restaurant, whatever. It might be low wage work, but introductory work that would build character. I could tell you this though, that the vast majority of people in my high school were would have benefited from the experience of a high school job rather than a recreational summer. What I did with my time in high school was a much different allocation of time than most. I didn't sit around and play video games or endlessly ride my bike chasing after whatever. Where most people in my high school did that, they were idle or sedentary. And the people that did end up getting high school jobs, because there were a few, they were the ones that really needed the money. You see, parents used to have their kids work high school jobs not because the family necessarily needed the money, but because they knew it was good for them and the community needed the labor. So we have these unbelievably generous and relaxed immigration policies for 15, 20 years. And we basically created a system where high schoolers did not need to enter the labor force. So some high schoolers like myself and some of the people that work with us at Turning Point usa, that idle time ended up being a phenomenal blessing for us. I'm not saying that high school work would have been awful, but I don't think I would have been able to do football, basketball, marching band, three different instruments, Eagle Scout, and then in my spare time, eventually start the beginning stages of Turning Point usa. Not even close if I had to also do a high school job. So for people like me, it allowed me some extra time to get into what I really enjoyed. And I had a skill towards the vast majority of students I grew up in. Would be better today if they would have been a lifeguard working at a movie theater or a waitress or cleaning dishes instead of playing video games when they were 16 years old. So this idea that Americans won't do the work is not true and I could prove it to you. Over the last year, President Trump signed an immigration moratorium into our country. And I'M glad he did. Because of this, South Dakota was facing a labor shortage. Now, one of the best governors in the country, if not the best governor, Kristi Noem, who's tied, I think, with Ron DeSantis. They're terrific. She realized that she was not going to have seasonal work visas. She realized she was not going to have this influx of cheap labor coming into South Dakota to help in the work for the summer, which is not as much work, but the fall is a lot of work. It's a lot of work in South Dakota. If you do not have the hands to help you in South Dakota in the fall, you could lose your whole savings. The food supply line could fall apart. But according to Governor Kristi Noem, who we sat with on an interview, I believe it was July 2, where she said on the podcast that every single job was filled by older South Dakotans and younger South Dakotans, 16, 17 and 18 year olds, were forced to put the video games on hold and they went into the fields and went to work. And by accident, what was proven is that the labor is there, the skills are even there to do it. Just all of a sudden there was a demand, not the type of demand that you would know or think of traditionally in economics, but there was pressure to put young American students to work. And so this lie that exists that there are jobs American won't do, Americans won't do is only true if you say that Americans don't want to do the job with no increase in wage ever, while also affording themselves to have a permanent middle class lifestyle. And so we have seen the consequence of this, what happens. And these two issues are the two issues that Donald Trump hit perfectly. And I wrote about this in the MAGA doctrine and they are directly tied together. And in the two issues that Republicans were told to never mention. Keep it as is. Everything is wonderful. Sit down and shut up and enjoy your endless piles of plastic from Wuhan. And don't say anything when your cousins are overdosing on meth. And the two issues were immigration and trade. Those are the two issues that we as conservatives were never allowed to talk about. Funded by think tanks, pundits, prognosticators, there was zero intellectual flexibility for us to ever talk about those issues. There is no place for robust debate and dialogue. There is no place for discussion. You want to talk about intolerance? The conservative movement was intolerant towards discussion prior to Trump when it came to immigration and trade. You were mocked, called a Luddite, a Draconian, a protectionist, a Herbert Hoover rights. It was pathological in nature, quite honestly, because it was funded by corporations that were benefiting through big immigration and big internationalist trade. And Donald Trump comes on the stage and unapologetically offers a factual, evidence based and experience based critique against this system. And quite honestly, he liberated my conversation and people. For us to finally realize that the system of international and endless trade and open borders and millions of people coming into the country, it might have some positives, such as we have a bunch of plastic that we're never gonna use and we don't appreciate, so we have to go buy self storage units to just be able to get rid of the amounts of clothes that we don't wear and things we don't actually revere. I guess that's a positive, but the cost might actually have been greater than the positive. And the cost was the complete and total destruction of the middle part of our country. Southeast Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, the entire Appalachia region. And my friend JD Vance wrote about this extensively in the book Hillbilly Elegy. And so now we have the question in our current political system is are we going to now go back to embracing the dogmatic corporate belief that open borders and free trade is always correct? A story that I want to focus on is one of the worst governors in America. So we got our list of bad governors. J.B. pritzker, Andrew Cuomo, and of course, Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom is under the gun. Gavin Newsom is facing a very serious and credible recall threat. Gavin Newsom very well might be recalled for his handling of the Chinese coronavirus. Gavin Newsom very well might lose the recall. Let's go to cut 34, where Gavin Newsom says he made some mistakes. That is putting it lightly. Playtape.

We've made mistakes. I have made mistakes. But we own them, we learn from them and we never stop trying. After all, that's. That's the California spirit. We're bent, but not broken, bloodied, but unbowed. Resolved to make brighter days ahead and not to let the pain of last year deter us from the hopefulness of tomorrow.

Not exactly sure what he thought he would accomplish by rubbing it in the face that Dodger Stadium is completely empty and open. But nevertheless, Gavin Newsom gave those remarks there. Gavin Newsom and cut35 says that he is focusing on staying determined and that the partisan power grabs are trying to destruct from their recovery.

Cut 35, look, the state of our state, it remains determined. I remain determined. And I just want you to know we're not going to change course just because of a few naysayers and doomsdayers. So to the California critics out there who are promoting partisan political power grabs with outdated prejudices and rejecting everything that makes California truly great, we say this. We will not be distracted from getting shots in arms and our economy booming again. This is a fight for California's future.

Gavin Newsom looks very nervous. Gavin Newsom will be recalled. Now, whether or not he wins or loses the recall is a different thing. I'm saying he's going to have to participate in a recall. And over 2 million people currently have signed the recall petition. As we accurately predicted here on the Charlie Kirk show, the Gavin Newsom team is going to spend millions of dollars on a certain and specific activity. Signature verification. You see, the Newsom team is worried that people who aren't who they say they are have been filling in signatures to recall Gavin Newsom. You see, Gavin Newsom is very worried about signature fraud. Gavin Newsom and the California Democrats of Kamala Harris previously and Nancy Pelosi and Eric Fang Fang swa. Well, they are very focused on voter and signature integrity. And the irony of all this is now that we have forced the recall, which is a great lesson for all of you out there. People say, what do we do? And I want to give a thanks and a congratulations and an applause and a reinforcement and an encouragement to the California Republicans out there. God bless you guys. I spent a lot of time in California. We do a lot of things in California. And my relationship with the California Franchise Tax Board proves that. But I have so much respect for the patriots in California. The pastors In California, Rob McCoy, Jack Hibbs, James Cadiz, Jurgen, Greg Denham and I will be in San Marcos, California this weekend at Rise Church. That's what it's called, Rise Church. Greg Denham's church. So check it out. We're doing three services because this recall against Gavin Newsom, whether it succeeds or not, is awesome. Everything about shows that you haven't give up, given up. It shows that you can challenge tyranny. It shows that you can get Gavin Newsom to look a little nervous and push back, make them uncomfortable. And of course, Andrew Colvette, producer Andrew, he actually asked me just to mention him. So congratulations, Andrew. You're doing a wonderful job holding down the fort in the great state of California. The once great state of California. I love this story. It's completely irrelevant of whether or not the recall works or not. It has put Democrats on defense, which is what we should be doing in every state. And if you have not yet helped or participated in this recall, please go do that. It's the moral thing to do. Thanks so much for listening everybody.
