Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd.com. This weekend was a disappointing weekend. We talked about how 9 30 was the day that the republic will be not just decided but whether or not we are going to decide to do something to save the republic. A conservation of the republic. It was a line in the sand. It was an opportunity for us to be able to say, you know what?

No more. We have simultaneous crises happen. We are being invaded on the southern border. We know that we are drowning in debt.

Our interest payments alone are 900 billion dollars. We have Jack Smith going after Donald Trump in unconstitutional ways, going after the entire opposition party. And meanwhile, as we're doing this, we have Letitia James staring down Donald Trump. We have Fannie Willis in Georgia.

This last weekend was an opportunity. So let me just kind of go through all the facts. There were certain there were different camps. I'm going to divide this into three different camps because it's very confusing the way that this is being covered. The first camp were the moderate republicans. They wanted a quote unquote clean CR, otherwise known as a dirty CR.

They just wanted an up or down vote. Get it through Congress, whatever, and move on. That was the first camp.

The second camp was the Chip Roy, Byron Donald's camp. They wanted to try to get some sort of a deal, an eight percent cut in federal spending, get money to secure the border. They were willing to work with some moderate republicans and bring that to the Senate. Put that put the responsibility on the Senate. The third camp, friend of the show and friend of mine, Matt Gates and Lauren Bobert and many others said that's not good enough. That's not good enough.

Said that's not good enough. We need 12 separate appropriation bills and we need to pass them. And if we do not pass them separately, single subject bills, then we are going to shut down the government. So those are the three main camps. Now, the moderate group, and I put that nicely, the Rhinos, Uniparty, they did not want the single subject bills.

That should tell you everything you need to know. Chip Roy and Byron Donald's and that Freedom Caucus group, they wanted their particular bill to try to pass it to the Senate. Now, when we had Matt Gates on the program and we had several other people on the program, my biggest concern was and remains, hey, what is going to happen? What is the plan if the moderate republicans and leadership just do a deal with the Democrats?

And the response was, well, they could always do that. Well, that's exactly what happened this last weekend. Instead of getting a little bit of the deal, instead of getting anything cut in spending, border security, we got nothing. We got hosed this weekend.

We got obliterated. Now, remember, during the debt ceiling fight, one of the things that we were told is, hey, just wait for the appropriation fight. Just wait for the appropriation fight in the fall.

That's where everything is really going to kind of come down. August was in recessed all. I mean, they were in recess all of August.

We were said, no, no, no, don't worry. The fight is coming on September 30th and September 30th comes on that Saturday and a punt, a 45 day, quote unquote, clean car. And you know who celebrates this? Chuck Schumer is celebrating this.

Hakeem Jeffries is celebrating this. Nancy Pelosi is celebrating this. And now there is complete and total bedlam in the House Republican Conference.

There are people that are calling for a motion to vacate for Kevin McCarthy. There are people that are saying that the next one they're going to shut down the government, certainly and definitively. So here's one of the kind of buried leads of this entire thing that I think is very, very important, which is if we are if we are going to be on mid November, right before Thanksgiving, right before Christmas, if you think that these moderate Republicans are going to strengthen their position or their resolve, that they're going to grow a spine in mid November, that's just silly. It's not going to happen.

They're only going to weaken the closer and closer you get to an election. This was the opportunity. So the question is, what went wrong? Because I could go through how just inexcusably awful this is. And it is. We did this whole buildup. We had lawmaker after lawmaker after lawmaker come on the show. And they said, we're asking for this and we're doing that. We're doing this and we're doing that. And if I were to just give some very candid feedback from even the Freedom Caucus yesterday, I spoke to three members of the Freedom Caucus.

They're on different planets, Neptune, Saturn, Mars. No one is agreeing on anything. They're saying we have to, you know, do a motion to vacate or we have to try to get this appropriation bill or we have to try to get into this. And I say, guys, do not meet, do not come together and talk this through.

Evidently not. So even though those that are there to hold the line are doing a good job of holding the line, they're not even in harmony with one another or in lockstep with one another. And so now Matt Gates is calling for a motion to vacate for Kevin McCarthy. Other House Republicans say that's not going to happen.

So this is going to be a very, very eventful Newsweek, to say the least. But I know how you feel because it's how I feel. I'm so sick of losing how many times we have to increase the debt ceiling, how we have to increase the appropriation process. Again, the Democrats hate the country. The Democrats do not want to govern the country.

They're perfectly fine with the border remaining wide open. They're perfectly fine with trillions of dollars being spent. Anything that weakens America, the Democrat Party's in charge of.

So you have to know that out of the outset. The Republican Party is supposed to be the opposition party. So now the next funding deadline is November 17th.

So is anything going to change going before November 17th? And why did we have to do a clean, quote unquote, clean CR? Why could we have not done? Well, OK, we'll fund the military. We'll fund this.

Just go piece by piece, piecemeal it. Because in big CRs, that's where all the graft, the corruption, the insider dealing is hidden. That's where all the nonsense. Ends up being put forward legislatively. And the unit party is thrilled, like we almost had to do some tough votes on cutting spending. They don't want to cut spending. They definitely do not want to try to hold the Department of Justice accountable. They certainly do not want to question the FBI's new headquarters, and they 100 percent do not want to try to question border security. And some people say, well, Charlie, there was no Ukraine funding in this. Yes, but there's another deal that's going to come forward.

You know, don't believe the narrative. There's going to be another deal coming forward with Ukraine funding very, very soon, very soon. There's going to be a Ukraine funding bill coming.

I guarantee it very, very soon. The notable no votes. Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Nancy Mace.

Nancy Mace has been surprisingly outspoken recently. Ana Paulina Luna and Byron Donaldson did not vote. Donaldson is on paternity leave right now, which is why he did not vote. And APL just had a baby, so she couldn't be there.

I bet she would have voted no. But now there's all this aftermath. We might be without a speaker this week. The House of Representatives is going to be in complete and total bedlam.

But the question I'm going to ask is why can we not clearly articulate what success looks like? The House has been read since January. Why can no one go on TV and say, here's our non-negotiables? And in some way, so just so you know, there is a disagreement between the Matt Gaetz wing and the Chip Roy wing. The Chip Roy wing said, hey, let's try to get some piece of legislation to the Senate. Matt Gaetz, his opinion, which, by the way, in principle, I'm 100 percent on Matt Gaetz's team. He says, why don't we just do 12 appropriations bills?

So here is the difference. Chip Roy was trying to get a legislative win using the prior process. Matt Gaetz was trying to change the structure of actually how legislation was passed.

And I'm right there with Matt Gaetz. I want the structure to change. But D.C. said, nope, we're not doing any of that. And instead of getting one percent, five percent, 50 percent of what we want, we got zero percent of what we want. Right now, the invasion continues. There were eight thousand people by estimates over this weekend that went through El Paso that we know of that illegally crossed the border. And Congress says, here's your C.R.

It goes right forward. We this is unsustainable. Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. Aren't you tired of not making a difference? You can. We can make a difference. Standing for life by giving free ultrasounds with our friends at Preborn in a Dobbs world, states decide about abortion. And so many liberal states are taking extreme stands, even allowing abortion up to literally the second before a baby is born.

It's unbelievable, but true. And in California, the demand for abortions has increased 400 percent in part because the state is inviting women and girls to come to California for the sole purpose of aborting their baby. This is abortion trafficking. Take a stand for life by providing an ultrasound for a young woman.

When you do, she is twice as likely to choose life. I'm a donor and you should be two to preborn. Just twenty eight dollars provides that ultrasound and saves one baby.

One hundred forty dollars saves five. A gift of fifteen thousand dollars provides an ultrasound machine that can save thousands of babies for years to come. Call 833-850-2229 or click on the preborn banner at charleykirk.com. That is charleykirk.com and click on the preborn banner. We're getting lots of emails and I want I want them to continue, please. The anger is palpable. Freedom at charleykirk.com.

Email us. This is unsustainable. You cannot have a civilization that is collapsing and have a political party larping live action role-playing as an opposition party.

You can't have that. The people are not going to put up with it. They're not. They're going to have primaries. They're going to stop voting, whatever it is. When you have a civilizational crisis and you have one party that is doing the damage to the country, the Democrat Party, then you need some sort of a counter voice.

That's obvious. So when the counter voice decides to not actually do the counter voice, but instead they get political power from the people just saying they're going to be the counter voice, you have a seriously unsustainable and very, very fragile set of circumstances. So you have the border completely wide open. Our spending discipline is out of control. There is no spending discipline. Trillions of dollars of deficits. We have Jack Smith, DOJ, and I'm just touching the surface of the civilizational issues that we are facing. Life expectancy going down, suicide crisis, and we have stuff all across the board. The economy is garbage and trash right now.

99% of homes are deemed unaffordable to the working class and the ordinary American. So what happens is these Republicans, many of them, they will run for office saying, give me a political office in DC. Give me political power. Give me the title congressman.

Give me an office in Washington, DC. And I'm going to go fight against the country collapsing. It's really kind of that simple now. It's not as much of like conservative versus liberal. It's the people that are doing the destruction of the country, the American Democrat Party, and the Republicans then go to voters and they say, elect us and we're going to stop it. That's basically the way that people think of voting right now. So they show up and they say, OK, Republicans, go and try and stop it. Please slow it down.

Say no. Reform it. And outside of some oversight stuff, which has been fine, I guess outside of some oversight stuff and subpoenas. Have we cut a dollar of spending this year? Have the House Republicans changed anything, anything?

And this pains me to say. I don't like saying this because the Republican Party is the only vessel that we have right now to stop the Democrats. And honestly, the great accomplishment that the Republican Congress will be able to say is not what they got done, but at least we're not getting rid of the Electoral College and D.C. and Puerto Rico are not becoming states and at least we don't have H.R.

one. That's not a small thing, by the way. The other side is so completely unhinged and out of control. There's such a damage and a cancer. There's such a tumor to the republic that saying like, well, at least we still have the Electoral College. OK. Because that's business number one for them.

They want to structurally change the country. But boy, I'll tell you, you know, I turn my phone off from Friday night to Saturday night and I turn my phone back on on Sunday. Boom. I must have had 280 text messages. People that were flipping mad.

Charlie, I thought 930 was the whole it is the whole deal. But they don't feel. The urgency that you feel, it's not the same sort of thing. If a moderate Republican wants to preside over business as usual, then go run as a Democrat. You must think of the Republican Party as the counter revolutionary force because we're living through a revolution, the cultural revolution brought forward by the American Democrat cabal with their Una Party friends.

So you need a counterforce to that. That is what animates the grassroots activity, asking for somebody to say, stop. No, not going to happen.

Not going to happen. The mandate that voters gave. To the House Republicans when they took over the House of Representatives in January was not multi-trillion dollar deficits and the invasion of our country, it was can you please stop it?

Can you do something? Americans shifted the House of Representatives barely, by the way, because of many different issues from Democrat control to Republican control, largely because they didn't want this to continue on checked. They wanted to have the House of Representatives be able to say not going to happen.

There's tons of tape I want to play here, but in the midst of all this, and I'm going to get to the fire alarm thing because it's just too important not to touch on. But I'll be honest, the fire alarm thing is being talked about way too much. I'm going to do it. It's fun. It's hilarious. This guy's a moron. Either he's a moron or he's like a really, really bad person or he's a mixture of both.

But I'm kind of like right wing circles. I'll be honest. The conversation has been mostly about Bowman mistaking a fire alarm for a and a door opener or whatever, a button that opens a door. It's like, hold on a second.

Time out. We're spending trillions of dollars we don't have and we're getting invaded every single day. What? That's a hilarious story and should be talked about, but are we talking about the things that actually matter right now, like the ones that are impacting our entire civilization?

And by the way. As we're diving into this legislative fight right now, the opposition party. Part of the opposition party doesn't seem that fired up that we had to do this C.R.. The old adage, and I've said this before, kicking the can down the road, I don't like that expression because it's just overuse. It's too cliche. But that's the way DC works. It's one rolling punt to the other.

And this is not an exaggeration since I started in this line of work 11 years ago, it has always been. Well, we'll get him in six months and we'll get him in six months and we'll get him in four months and we'll get them in five months and we'll get him in six months. And we'll get him in six months and we'll get him in four months and we'll get him in three months.

And we'll get him in two months. and we'll get them in two months and that's not an exact I've hawked this now for 11 years and When Democrats are in Congress, you have no power, right? No power But the time Republicans have been in Congress and so it's like oh, yeah.

Yeah. No, no, no, we understand It's a problem but next the the the appropriation thing or the debt ceiling thing or the continuing resolution and they use these Terms that I know what they mean, but the everyday working-class person god bless them They're just being lied to by their elected officials. They don't know the difference between a CR an Appropriations bill or a debt ceiling fight or a markup or an appropriate that this is somewhat Technical and They use that sort of murkiness to their advantage that hyper technical language is an advantage I Want to play some pieces of tape here? This is how you know, this is just revolting Chuck you Schumer celebrating play cut six Majority leaders recognized. I have very good news for the country Democrats and Republicans have come to an agreement and the government will remain open We will have avoided a shutdown by partisanship Which has been the trademark of the Senate has prevailed and the American people can breathe a sigh of relief or that this is this is last gasp for public stuff like this is they're sacking Rome and You are getting fat and happy and the visigoths are like 90 miles outside from taking over the entire capital and this is Cheering widely wildly for full funding no border security. Just I mean the country is legitimately just disintegrated Very similar, you know, there's a deeper arguments be made here that you know, we spent our 1970s and 1980s focusing on destroying the Soviet Union and In reality, we became more like the Soviet Union We imprison our political dissidents We spy on the people that don't believe the regime and the Soviet Union remember funded the Afghan war even after the country collapsed like you can't Stop your attachment So now there's this whole fight over motion to vacate like at 17 That's all right. If Republican and Democrats join together to do what is right If somebody wants to make a motion against me bring it There has to be an adult in the room so that's gonna be a mess and Mike my question is You guys sorted out yourself who's gonna cut spending?

That's all I care. Who's gonna cut spending and stop the invasion. I I mean, it's you got Paul Gosar speaker. Who's gonna cut speaker who's gonna cut spending and secure the border? All this is just pageantry to me.

It's all just theatrics. The country is drowning in debt We do not have a stable currency. We're funding this proxy war in Ukraine. We are getting absolutely overrun by foreigners on the southern border and We're yammering about motion to vacate which very well might be important might not be important That's not my concern who's going to lead us to structural reform to save the country Play cut 19, please. Most of it in the press probably thought we would have shut down yesterday, too But no we did were you confident we wouldn't shut down I was confident I could get something on the floor to make sure the option that we would not that our military Well, well, I wasn't sure it was going to pass you want to know why because the Democrats tried to do everything They can not to let it pass Democrats were the ones who voted for this Did you watch number than Republicans to keep the continuing resolution alive?

Did you watch the floor yesterday? Yes Okay, the Republicans voted against it. Okay, and then Matt gates countering play cut 18 Kevin McCarthy's gonna get his wish I don't think the adult in the room would allow America to sit atop a 33 trillion dollar debt facing 2.2 trillion dollar annual deficits I don't think the adult in the room would allow 8 trillion dollars of this debt to come into Refinancing at a higher level without serious spending cuts and I don't think the adult in the room would lie to House conservatives And that is exactly what Kevin McCarthy did.

So we look at this across the board and you got to ask yourself the question What have Republicans done with the mandate? Now trip Roy and Byron Donald's they're pretty fired up right now that whole group Because they had a piece of legislation that could have passed the house 8% cut in spending would have secured the border and would have put it on the Senate. So we got nothing So instead of a negotiation we got hosed we got steamrolled I'm in a different bucket though because some people are telling me well Charlie Had to do this and punt it because it would have been a government shutdown. I don't fear government shut down I don't know why everyone is so afraid of a government shutdown It's a temporary pause and honestly it would have put the pressure on to get a better deal done I think that is a fake and false threat by the bad guys and I would have preferred a government shutdown than a 45-day delay that only makes the moderates weaker right before Christmas right before Thanksgiving Play one more piece of tape here Kind of about all these everything's because the Ukraine is a central part of this So the CR that passed did not have extra Ukraine funding, but they're gonna they're gonna bring it back Joe Biden says that the house has made that commitment to funding Zelensky's proxy war play cut one. I hope my friends the other side keep their word about support for Ukraine They said they're gonna support Ukraine in the separate vote We cannot under any circumstance allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted I fully expect the speaker to keep his commitment to secure the passage and Support needed to help Ukraine as they defend themselves against aggression and brutality And I want to assure our American allies and the American people and the people of Ukraine That you can count on our support.

We will not walk away Now we will not walk away from our proxy war in Ukraine But we're gonna walk away from the invasion happening in El Paso or the southern border. No one cares not it not even a whisper of concern Why are the MAGA voters So upset I was talking to an establishment person this weekend They said, you know Charlie outrage is not a strategy and the people that listen to your show They end up being you know, pretty fired up and I got really I got really upset with him I said, why do you think people are mad? He said oh, you know, they're mad because they're told to be mad because of people like you I said No, they're mad because there's not an opposition voice Because their values are not represented in these legislative fights. That's why people are mad It would be one thing if the whole country was like, California And this is just performative if they had super majorities everywhere. We control one of the chambers We control the purse to this date right now. We may never control it again after nonsense like this We control the purse we control the House of Representatives. We control tons of state legislatures We control tons of AGs We control tons of governors and yet every time it feels as if regardless of how many election mandates We give no matter how many pressure release valves that we pull no matter how many times we tell Republicans Please go fight for me. Please say no, please represent our values We get the same sort of business as usual Like all we're gonna do it in 45 days and then they're just gonna pass another six-month thing or better yet They'll pass like a 13-month thing.

Oh, no we're just gonna you know, go to the next Congress because it's a really important election and we can't do that and the everyday commoner the ordinary citizen it's looking at this and they get demoralized disgruntled angry and So distrustful of all of our Washington DC institutions that they just say I'm done forget What has the Republican Party done to earn the vote of the everyday American? nothing I want to talk about relief factor calm I want you guys to check out relief factor calm hundred percent drug free knee pain back pain joint pain elbow pain Check out relief factor energy help makes your body make nutrients readily available relief factor sleep I know a lot of you are probably having trouble sleeping relief factor sleep could be the best solution for you Everybody goes to bed. Not everybody Sleeps, we're all about helping people live lives that are filled with connection exploration passion and emotion That is what his life is all about.

Make sure you guys are sleeping. Well, it's a major part of life Check it out right now relief factor calm relief factor calm So Jamal Bowman During this entire thing goes and pulls a fire alarm So Bowman is on camera Pulling this fire alarm and it's like oh no. No, I thought I opened the door Well, then the next obvious question the most important question is did you go through the door? Did you go through the door if you thought it was to open the door? Did you end up actually going through the door? And so it set off a huge alarm which then wouldn't you think you would go outside after you pull the fire alarm?

So it's a really simple question. Did Jamal but this is no one's asking this question So if you wanted to open the door and you realize it couldn't could we get a picture of the actual fire alarm? Let's release the tapes So Jamal Bowman goes up and pulls something that says pull in case of fire So it's either one of two things. This guy is a insane liar or he's so stupid he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the United States House of Representatives and He was a school principal Basically, the one environment we're teaching about fire alarms is pretty routine. I Mean did this guy not read or can he not read? I'm just I'm not being dumb. I'm not being silly I'm not being stupid. This is a guy that pushes the fire alarm.

And by the way, I 100% believe That this guy did it intentionally. Why would you say that Charlie the stupid door thing to open the door? It's that is a that is an unbelievable excuse because this is exactly the playbook that they use on college campuses University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee last year Candace Owens and I were getting a speech boom fire alarm goes off University of California Berkeley three years ago.

Boom fire alarm goes off. I Cannot tell you how many times I could list at least 10 off the top my head where we were doing a campus event and some form of an interruption a fire alarm a fake 911 call Breaking of windows bomb threat you name it while we are doing an event for they try to stop our Turning Point USA event or whatever it is. And Why did he postpone the vote? Did he want to shut down was he upset that there was a CR being passed It's very strange. Did other lawmakers know about it was he told to do it by Hakeem Jeffries and His excuse is I mean like we should not lay off of this guy now again I don't think this is the biggest story the biggest story is that we got nothing out of the CR But this is not this is not It's not insignificant. Let me put it that way it has become the biggest story in right-wing circles, which I'm a little bit not thrilled about because the biggest Story is the border still open Jack Smith still funded and we're borrowing trillions of dollars.

We don't have here's Jamal Bowman former high school principal who can't tell the difference between a button to open a door and a fire alarm play cut 24 You know, I don't know why this guy's so much attention. I was literally just in a rush to go vote Are you afraid of any repercussions either from leadership or from legally? I mean listen, I take responsibility for what I did, you know, but like ourselves in the rush to go vote and you know Investigation will sort everything out Wait, so if he was in a rush to go vote, why'd you need to go outside if you're in the Congress if you're in the house? Didn't he interrupt an official government proceeding? Isn't that a threat to our democracy? Haven't people been put into gulags for such behavior for the interruption of the beautiful process within Congress?

Is Jamal Bowman gonna get raided by the FBI and the Department of Justice? but if you were in a office if you were in a rush to go vote, so It's it's one of two things. He either sabotaged a vote which is insurrection or he's extremely dumb and there's many such cases. I Rock, I'm sorry the level of facility when you look at a fire alarm thing and you're like, oh this seems like a good idea What do you think is gonna happen there? And then I just love his kind of like typical left-wing I don't know why this is such a big deal. Like why are you like, come on? I mean pulling fire alarms during continuing resolution votes. Like why are you guys making such a big deal out of it? He's like one step away from calling the questioner racist Well, why can't a black man just pull a fire alarm and get away with it.

What are you like a white supremacist? Like what's a black guy got to do to just pull a fire alarm around here? It's like he's like one inch away Again, we can play the game. What if Matt Gaetz called a fire? I mean Matt Gaetz pull a fire alarm. He would be in the j6.

He would be like with the j6 defendants 100% would be indicted in some sort of show trial and Jamal Bowman's kind of like man, I can't catch a break I was just trying to go vote and pull the fire alarm and everyone's calling me all these names I don't know why this is such a big story. I was in such a rush to go vote You realize to open the door you push the door You push the door.
