embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries destroyed lives and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country that's why we are here hey everybody this episode is brought to you by my friends at expressvpn expressvpn dot com charlie secure your device anonymize your online activity protect your action online expressvpn dot com charlie help our show out by also helping yourself protect yourself expressvpn dot com charlie hello everyone charlie kirk here welcome we have a lot to get to honored to be with you today make sure you subscribe to the charlie kirk show podcast what is inflation inflation as described by people actually know what they're talking about is when prices go up and productivity stays the same or goes down the simple definition is when there is sustained upward movement in the overall price level of goods and services in the economy holding all else constant this corresponds in the most basic way with a loss of purchasing power for regular and working people now inflation does benefit some people if you have massive debt burdens or you have borrowed a significant amount of money inflation helps you because then all of a sudden there's more dollar bills the debt does not change so if you're one hundred thousand dollars in debt that stays constant but all of a sudden if there's more dollar bills out there then you are able to use those those new dollar bills to pay off an old debt because it was eight percent or ten percent or twelve percent more valuable the prior year before now inflation is a tax on the middle class we on this program did repeated podcasts did repeated broadcasts warning about how washington dc's addiction to multitrillion dollar spending bills while shutting down the entire economy immorally and unconstitutionally will result in unexpected and chaotic price increases we have seen this over the last six months but now all of a sudden we're seeing something even more dramatic we are seeing a slowdown of economic activity people are hitting the brakes and the prices are going up we have made the argument here on this program that many democrats want inflation inflation helps the corporate class and allows them to pay off their debts did you know that us corporations expanded their balance sheets by borrowing six hundred billion dollars in the last year they knew that interest rates will never get this low again and so everyday companies and especially the fortune one hundred companies they went on a borrowing spree they borrowed more money than they have in recent memory because they knew that all of a sudden if inflation is going to kick in if inflation is going to occur you want to have as much debt as you possibly can manage or almost more than you can manage because then the eight percent inflation rate a year or the six percent inflation rate a year will actually minimize the debt burden you have you might as well live it up while you can rich people do very well when inflation comes if you own physical assets land gold silver or you were able to move money quickly especially liquid you'll do fine in the midst of inflation the people that inflation hurts the most are young people students and middle class workers in fact it makes you more dependent on the government inflation is a big government scheme to try and expand the social welfare state now in a unexpected turn of events not unexpected for us because we have also been following this very closely the biden regime's entire legislative agenda in washington dc has been put into turmoil senator joe manchin from west virginia he's actually doing what a united states center should be doing he's representing his state he's not representing chuck schumer he's not representing joe biden and let me be very clear i disagree with joe manchin on plenty i think he can kind of be a swarmy slimy transactional dc politician but i actually think deep down he understands that west virginia has become a deeply conservative state and he knows that if he continues to pass these multitrillion dollar spending bills it's everyday people in west virginia that are going to be crushed west virginia is losing population one of the few states that is west virginia has already been under attack by the federal federal regulatory agencies of the epa and the environmental green groups that have crushed coal development all across west virginia joe manchin knows this and therefore joe manchin is pushing pause he's calling timeout on what the democrats are trying to do which is pass a three point five trillion dollars spending bill alongside a debt limit increase alongside a one point two trillion dollars infrastructure package now joe biden and jen psaki and others have said that this three point five trillion dollars bill costs nothing it adds zero dollars to the national debt that this is a free bill now if that was the case then why is it you have to raise the debt ceiling then if it doesn't cost anything then why do you have to raise the debt ceiling to keep on spending money well joe manchin is now speaking out against the crisis of inflation finally we are seeing somebody in the democrat party start to brush off a simple economic textbook and realize that the addiction to cheap money thanks to the federal reserve and the unconstitutional way that we actually fund our government and the oligarchy of the monetary regime that we have been living under yeah it's actually hurting normal people rich people are going to be just fine corporations will find a way to navigate this but for the carpenter in wheeling west virginia earning fifty one thousand dollars a year with two kids inflation will crush him and democrats know this democrats except joe manchin actually want this because they say that's a perfect opportunity for that once self reliant carpenter who works with his hands to now get an extra government check that makes a perfect potential democrat voter it makes someone who is more subservient more obedient you see self reliance the spirit of producing for oneself is at direct odds with everything the dominant democratic regime wants to see for your family and for the country play cut
C
one hundred the reason i asked for a pause i'm still concerned about inflation i'm still concerned right now the dollar store i don't know if you saw that today breaking news on that the dollar store is not going to be the dollar anymore it's going to be a dollar and a quarter one dollar fifty cents not an awful lot of people in west virginia that shop at the dollar stores that
A
see joe manchin is saying that look my constituents in west virginia are seeing rising prices this is not good and yes that breaking news did come i'm not a big fan of the dollar store because basically it's a chinese communist party dumping operation of cheap products but joe manchin is right that now the dollar store is no longer the dollar store it's one hundred twenty five or one hundred fifty they can't even stay at one dollar and stay profitable they have to increase their prices and despite all of this democrats outside of mansion and cinema seem intent on spending four point seven trillion dollars and raising the debt limit the question is why well their motivations aside their entire legislative agenda everything they want to do is on the verge of collapse and joe biden is less popular than ever before and it's very obvious that the game plan is going to try to remove joe biden sixty two percent of voters in iowa disapprove of joe biden sixty one percent in texas disapprove fifty three percent in michigan disapprove fifty three percent in florida disapprove of joe biden fifty three percent in georgia fifty one percent in virginia and fifty one percent in minnesota disapprove of joe biden but joe manchin is doing what the constitution actually was designed to do which is represent his voters and his constituents this is a moment of truth right now for the democrats and for the kingdom of washington dc and i'm pleased to say that they are in a spiral of chaos right now and they're not sure what to do hey everybody if you're paying attention you know we're going to face some tough times i'm not saying run and hide far from it but i am saying you should prepare for food shortages in the very near future i am a big prepper and you should be too the best way to be able to be prepared for what's happening and there might be some bad things happening very soon is this get a three month emergency food kit from my patriot supply they're the number one emergency food company and they've served millions of american families over the last fourteen years right now you can save one hundred dollars on their three month emergency food kit just in time before the entire system crashes around us since you're saving one hundred dollars per kit get one for each member of your family this kit gives you breakfast lunch dinner drinks and snacks totaling over two thousand calories a day with a wide variety of delicious foods go to preparewithkirk dot com right now and save dollar one hundred per kit you can't beat this price prep yourself prep your family at preparewithkirk dot com act now and your order will ship quickly and arrive discreetly at your door in unmarked boxes that's preparewithkirk dot com preparewithkirk dot com grayson sent us a note charlie please please please joe manchin is going to vote for this three point five trillion dollars he will cave in so will kyrsten sinema they can't help themselves they are democrats you wait i'm not wrong both will cave in and vote for the three point five trillion dollars budget you might be right but i will say they have been kyrsten sinema in particular unusually obtuse about this entire thing i want to read this tweet this exchange from kyrsten sinema yesterday who by the way is more conservative than john mccain drives them crazy when i say that because it's true and so there was this exchange yesterday of kyrsten sinema with a reporter where kyrsten sinema was asked by one of these reporters they say so senator sinema what do you say to progressives who are frustrated that they don't know where you are kyrsten sinema said i'm in the senate he said well there are progressives in the senate that are also frustrated they don't know where you are either she said i'm clearly right in front of the elevator just trolling them right to their face now you might be right maybe we're all being played for a game and mansion and cinema are going to pull it underneath us or maybe just maybe these two democrats either want some sort of political future kyrsten sinema absolutely does or they have just a small an inch a smidgen of concern for their constituents not for the fundamental transformation of the nation now we must understand that the goal of these massive spending packages is to remake man himself woodrow wilson franklin delano roosevelt and lyndon baines johnson they spoke extensively whether it be fdr's second bill of rights speech lyndon baines johnson's great society speech or woodrow wilson's repeated addresses about how man cannot attain their highest level of existence if they still have material wants needs or concerns you see rooted in the progressive belief this came post darwin is that the founding fathers did not fully understand what it meant to be man i mean come on for example the founding fathers didn't have tiktok twitter airplanes or priuses how could the founding fathers possibly understand the full dynamic range or spectrum of what it means to be a human being now we as conservatives we reject this and this really is the debate that's going on right now we as conservatives believe in the laws of nature and nature's god we believe in the natural law we believe that there are things that do not change regardless of having tiktok and twitter and airplanes and priuses we believe that massive deficit spending will lead to a nation gone to chaos we believe the rule of law needs to be a centerpiece for organizing society we believe that telling the truth and a properly good souled individual is the way to live now mansion and cinema they might be game for part of the social redefinition and reconstruction of the new man which of course was a phrase that was used many times in the soviet union we are here to create the new man now this is a nietzschean idea he called this the overman or the das ubermensch now manchin and cinema might be game for part of this but they also have their own self interests that they're looking out for this is the brilliance of checks and balances and separation of powers now mind you there's plenty of problems with the legislative system as we have it now but schumer and pelosi are getting incredibly impatient with these two senators from red states or once red states arizona is i still think a red state and will show itself as such in twenty twenty two west virginia is now one of the most conservative states in the country where donald trump won every single county in the state of west virginia let me say it again he won every single county in the state of west virginia and they're asking themselves are we us senators of chuck schumer are we us senators of nancy pelosi are we us senators of joe biden or are we us senators of the individual states you see until we pass the seventeenth amendment which is one of the most destructive and disastrous amendments ever passed in the history of the country which got rid of the state legislature appointing of senators and we got into the populist movement which i do generally support of direct election of senators senators became more interested in public opinion nationally than what their states actually worried about but what i'm hearing from manchin and by the way i am perfectly prepared to be let down and disappointed i am bracing for impact for the treachery the deceit the backroom deals i'm not trying to get your hopes up what i am saying is that what i'm seeing in front of me is a stalled delayed and almost dead on arrival legislative package that does not seem that it's going to proceed in its current form anytime soon hey everybody i want you to imagine over one hundred thousand americans losing their jobs well you could stop imagining because it's reality everybody since twenty fifteen over one hundred thousand independent farms and ranches in the united states have shut down why because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve china has destroyed the american economy through dumping products and they've also waged war on american ranchers it's time to stick it to china and that's what good ranchers does so well they exist to support local american farms that help you make great american meals together they want to restore the american ranch and your meals to the former glory get the beef chicken and seafood that cannot be imported or matched at good or ranchers dot com did you know that the product of usa tag has been stolen by foreign countries they process their meat here and then label it like it came from america fraudulently because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat over one hundred thousand independent american farms and ranchers have closed since twenty fifteen good ranchers is here to put america first at the dinner table and the ranchers that have worked to raise the meat we eat they send you a box everyone listening to this needs to eat and feed their family and if you want to support our program if you like the charlie kirk show you can kill two birds one stone buy really good meat and get food because you have to eat anyway and support our program at goodranchers dot com charlie right now and save dollar twenty off or better yet subscribe and save the box of mount watering meats i'm telling you they send us these meats and there is a fight over

company use promo code charlie at checkout goodranchers dot com charlie they send you this box of meat that you can feed your family and also support this program as you guys know how hard we are working to save the country goodranchers dot com charlie there is drama and intrigue happening right now on capitol hill where the democrats are planning to spend four point seven trillion dollars quickly you would think when a nation is going through so many separate points of crisis that this would be a good time to slow down a little bit it's kind of like a cooling off period find out what's really going on what are our priorities who's in charge do we really want to be spending this money what are we spending money on do we want to keep the country together the democrats want nothing for that they are more concerned to bulldoze and capture and take advantage of this moment for fundamental transformation of the american country and nation they don't care about public approval ratings they certainly don't care about the constitution separation of powers consent to the governed independent judiciary they will not be stopped as they focus on their socialist locomotive agenda to run you over panama's government has warned that thousands of more illegals are coming to the border estimates are more than sixty thousand people are coming to the us mexico border of course as we well know haitians have been released into the interior of the united states and they will most likely never leave these are just more future voters for the democrats as they look at this borders are completely wide open so you would think that leaders would say hold on a second let's just try to solve the problems in the best interest of the country and here's one of the biggest problems in america right now if you feel like you're losing america here's one of the biggest problems do you know what it is what we as conservatives consider a problem the other side considers a blessing that's a big problem we consider open borders and sixty five thousand panama people panamanians that's probably the rest were panamanians coming into america as a detriment and as a problem an issue it's bad for sovereignty could be bad for wages it could be bad for crime what whatever that that's not a good thing the other side looks at it as a great thing we used to in our country disagree about solutions we used to disagree about the best way to solve problems oh charlie let's not build the wall let's have some sort of reconnaissance thing okay that's silly but whatever now we cannot even agree with the democrat regime on what the actual problem is they think inflation is wonderful they think getting people on government assistance is admirable and good now many of you know that we are no friends of many republican senators now there are some phenomenal ones out there senator ted cruz senator josh hawley senator rand paul just to name a few but i have been i've been pleased to see how senate republicans have been holding the line on this con job that is being cooked up by chuck schumer and nancy pelosi in coat one hundred six senator barrasso from wyoming who i know i wish he would fight harder on certain things but he's been very good on this you know we complain quite often where is the opposition party i will say thankfully not one republican is playing ball with any of this nonsense or this garbage i will say though too many of them are playing ball with the infrastructure package and their reasoning is like well since we agreed with the infrastructure package then it puts pressure on the reconciliation bill i don't buy that for a second but let's put that aside let's talk favorably and positively the entire republican caucus including even mitt romney and susan collins are not playing ball with this it's dead on arrival this is an extraordinary video of senator barrasso holding up the actual legislative text of what the democrats are trying to pass at least a foot and a half or two feet two thousand five hundred pages three point five trillion dollars just to show you the enormity of what they are trying to get past play cut one hundred and six this is
B
their bill two thousand five hundred pages if you take a look at three point five trillion dollars price tag and you do the math that's one billion four hundred million dollars for every page of this bill and they want to pass it this week how many democrats do you think have read this think nancy pelosi's read it think chuck schumer's read it do you think joe biden who is desperately begging democrats to pass it you think he's read it you think he knows what's in it now
A
just so you know the size of that monstrosity that's bigger than some human beings it is at least two to three feet tall now i just want to make sure that we're being very clear about this that the reason why the democrats are trying to spend as much money as they possibly can on every program imaginable is not is not because they actually want to help people they believe that the state can actually be a critical ingredient or instrument in fundamental transformation of the human being itself that human beings can reach a higher plane of existence if they are free for material wants needs and desires john dewey who is the founder of american public education educated at johns hopkins university had a famous quote and i'm paraphrasing where he said that true freedom will be the freedom from necessity that it's not freedom to speak freedom to create freedom to flourish freedom to marry freedom to have children freedom to worship your creator he called those basically i don't want to put words in his mouth but he thought he was indifferent towards that instead the progressive project that started with woodrow wilson was this belief system that freedom meant that you had nothing that you wanted in the physical or material world lyndon baines johnson was the main president who really embraced this specifically when it came to healthcare the democrats believe this they want to try to get us closer what they believe is a utopian technocratic scientifically driven society this should terrify every single person listening to
B
this
A
and joe manchin has basically said this joe manchin has said he'll do a very basic spending bill but he's not going to get into the mass social engineering project of the progressive statist regime play tape did you share that number with the president and has that one point five the last week or
C
so the last week or so senator
A
sinema and did that number go up
C
senator cinnamon knows that no no my top line has not been my top line has been one point five because i believe in my heart that what we can do and what the needs we have right now and what we can afford to do without basically changing our whole society to an entitlement mentality
A
now let me just first say do you notice how intense the reporters are versus joe manchin versus joe biden do you notice how direct the questions are they interrupt him they're on top of him why because they hate him joe biden is useful joe manchin is annoying and he's a threat we're going to keep getting into that but i want to invite you to a very special event for our friends at the christian nonprofit legal defense organization alliance defending freedom just go to charliekirk dot com right now and click on the alliance defending freedom donate now banner at the very top of the page i'm branding today as a big day so i need at least three listeners to try to hop aboard and give some money if you can adf is fighting for free speech your constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and especially battling efforts by some local and state governments to close churches during the pandemic just listen to adf council matt bowman play tape and these are churches that are following mask and cdc guidelines but are just saying it is important for us as a congregation to come together and worship together we've been able to get over a dozen victories on behalf of churches getting laws struck down getting victims so that churches are able to meet together once again we are literally keeping the door open for the gospel in those circumstances adf is fighting for us so let's open our hearts and our wallets and so let's go right now to charliekirk dot com and click on the alliance defending freedom banner or phone your gift to my special hotline eight eight eight six seven zero one five nine nine again that's eight eight eight six seven zero one five and thank you for supporting our friends at alliance defending freedom okay i want to get to another piece of sound here that does tie to this let's go to cut ninety eight which is kind of a montage of exactly what we're living through right now cut ninety eight crisis after crisis the democrats are in
B
disarray without any question whether it's the border whether it's the incredibly messy messy
C
exit from afghanistan which was a debacle
B
by any definition or whether it's what's happening on the floor right now it's
C
this constant sort of crisis but all
B
that our democratic colleagues have to show as a result of their partisan choice is a parade of failures for the american people we need to do better
A
and we can do better the country's in freefall not just because of the democrat regime but it certainly doesn't help and you have to wonder what is what are the what's the backup plan for these democrats what are they going to go to if joe manchin holds the line he says i don't want to see the country become one of a social welfare state joe manchin said out loud he said i have never been a liberal he certainly knows his state west virginia is not a place where the word liberal resonates very much what the future holds for the democrats is very questionable we're gonna we're gonna keep diving into that as america is in freefall inflation crime tyranny mandates the democrats are acting like elections don't exist that's just so interesting to me they're enemies of democracy is what joe manchin and kyrsten sinema are being called now i know i really have respect for both of them joe manchin and kyrsten sinema seem to be making life miserable for congressional democrats for that they should be applauded and they should be thanked joy behar explodes into one of her unhinged rants in between being realized that her co hosts get test positive for the fauci virus despite being fully vaccinated she says you don't understand the enemies of democracy come on what is this not the new jersey housewives show cut one hundred and eight but the demo and the democrats have the numbers to make it happen but manchin and cinema are standing in their way especially cinema they call themselves democrats and they will be the ruination of this nation those two i mean come on i mean they're not democrats it's not like us all right let's go to some good news actually that's good news anytime that joy behar loses her mind so let's go to okay so last night was the congressional baseball game and republicans almost always lose now one of the reasons why republicans always lose is because democrats they tend to be a younger party than republicans and so they just tend to have younger people play baseball now despite the fact that they had like a fourteen year old pitching how old is jon ossif he's like twenty one years old or something he never should have been a us senator yet thirty four he looks like he's nineteen just started shaving and so jon ossoff was one of the pitchers last night despite all of this republicans won and beat the democrats now you might say charlie who cares well when we win the congressional baseball game last time we did was twenty sixteen and we know how that ended by the way john ostaf he stole second base just like he stole georgia play tape arizona the one
B
stanton is hit popped up to third stub he's got it and that's the ball game the republicans win it thirteen to twelve as they storm out of the first base side of the dugout and mob each other around the pitcher's
A
mound now maybe i'm just kind of out of the loop i don't remember the congressional baseball game being on fox sports one in years past is that a new thing connor i saw it on fox sports one last night and part of it was kind of fun to see the people destroying your country you know pitch to each other i don't know i just it made me actually like the democrats less as i watched it i'll get into that a different time it's only two times in the last decade have we won the congressional baseball game one of my favorite parts do we have the tape of nancy pelosi saying yes you understand you have to pass the bill do you have that tape of her just screaming into has anyone got a professional lip reader on this video no sir i've said that in the group chat i said can we just get a lip reader so there's this video of nancy pelosi and she's grasping her phone do you notice how she holds her phone she holds it like she's reporting from some sort of a bunker in world war one like a trench holding it right up here screaming into the phone doesn't look like things are going well for her and there was all this other drama and i just want to say this playing baseball is a very difficult sport i have a lot of respect for people that play baseball greg stubay he had a he hit a legitimate home run in a major league baseball park in the game not in warm up that deserves credit all right here's nancy pelosi just going at it
B
rodney davis at the top of the
A
lineup speaker no doubt happy about that
B
play but she is known as a big sport sports fan and often after dealing with a lot of really difficult reporter questions related to what's going on
A
in now i think again we got to get an expert lip reader because i want to know exactly what's going on there she does not look happy but despite all the things that are happening at least republicans won the congressional baseball game listen joe manchin you better not vote for this or else you're going to end up with a dead horse in your bed you understand i'm nancy pelosi and i'm in charge kirsten cinema who does she think she is thanks so much for listening everybody email us your thoughts freedomarliekirk dot com and if you want to support our program you could do so charliekirk dot com support thank you so much for listening everybody god bless speak to you soon

“The country’s in freefall—not just because of the Democrat regime, but it certainly doesn’t help.”
—Charlie Kirk [31:58]
Charlie Kirk portrays the Manchin vs. Biden divide as a pivotal moment for the future of the American economy, culture, and political system. He casts Manchin and Sinema as rare defenders of federalism, fiscal sanity, and constitutional checks and balances standing against what he labels a radical, technocratic, and progressive reimagining of America. Throughout, Kirk maintains a combative, often irreverent tone—mixing serious critique with moments of levity and pointed political commentary.
