Why Everyone Is Fleeing California ft. Lee Zeldin

0:00My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a turning point USA college chapter. Go start a turning point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by preserve gold, the leading gold and silver experts,

1:02and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. All right, without further ado, we have Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He's a great, great senator out of the state of Oklahoma. I just want to give you guys in the red state of Oklahoma, little kudos here at Senator. You guys have the lowest gas prices in the country apparently. A buck 83 a gallon in some counties in the in the great state of Oklahoma. That's like 1999 price. That's like, yeah, what is this? We said we wanted the 90s back and at least in Oklahoma, we have it. This is great. Well, in the 90s, it was like 78 since a gallon. But you know, it was really I was I was filling up my work trucks. However, at least in 97, 98. But it's still yet to be under two dollars. Now it's pretty amazing. This is the difference, right? So Oklahoma has the lowest gas prices in the country because we embrace our fossil fuels. And and drill baby drill in California has the highest gas prices in the country.

2:07And they're shutting down rigs and drilling activity on the daily and shutting down pipelines on the daily. Go figure how those two would run hand in hand, right? Yeah. So you have a you have multiple counties in Oklahoma at buck 83. Average gas price in California right now is $4.21. Honestly, that's lower than I'd have expected. You could have told me it was over five. Well, diesel is 480. I mean, I just think it's amazing. And then you've got California. This is not what we were playing out talking about here, Senator. But you've got California has lost. There was a New York Post article that I was reading this morning. California has lost a trillion dollars of wealth. So Sergey Brin and all these other billionaires are fleeing the state. Peter Teal multiple others opening up satellite offices and Texas and Tennessee and Florida. Because they're they're going to tax or they're proposing to tax the wealth. So and that could be unrealized gains as well on billionaires.

3:08So if you are on paper, a billionaire, they're going to tax 5% of your wealth. Just take it to fund their medical. You're going to they're going to show up the medical books where they're giving free health care to illegals in that state. Or give it to the homeless because that's worked out so well. Right. And let's not forget. Not forget they ran off the wealthiest man in the country or in the world, Elon Musk. That's right. Now is in California too. And so you just you can't make up crazy. New York is going to be the same way. I mean, it's just a matter of time before the New York Stock Exchange moves to Dallas, Texas. And you start looking at cost of building, right? The cost of building in California is somewhere between $450 per square foot. It's half that and in Oklahoma. So you can build a house and actually make it affordable. I mean, they talk about affordable housing in California, but they regulate themselves out of out of existence.

4:10And yet in Oklahoma, that's this called daily life because we have good governance because we have a red state instead of a blue state. Yeah, I think that's a really fascinating dynamic of modern American cultures. This is divergence between red states and blue states. It's getting further and further apart. And it's we're seeing it in the migration patterns. If you look at it's we saw this with Minnesota. People are leaving Minnesota for the first time in ages. They're all moving to Texas, Florida, Oklahoma. The South generally gets a lot of people. And yeah, they just can't get out of California or New York fast enough. I'm glad you mentioned Elon Musk. Have you seen this? All the other billionaires were bailing just before the New Year. Because they have that initiated measure that might be on the ballot to do a retroactive wealth tax. A one-time bill. In California, that's what we're talking about. Yeah, exactly. It didn't realize it was retroactive. Yeah, that's why they're all bailing. It's not just Musk. It's like, you know, the Google guys and all probably a bunch we've not even heard about. I'm not. All bailing. I know. I have a guy a friend of mine and I won't mention his name. But he's he's just a southern Louisiana back roads.

5:14Swamp boy that has done very, very well at business investments. And he doesn't do, you know, tech companies. He does. He does like construction industry companies. He's done very, very well for himself. And he left California and he moved back to Louisiana. And he moved out. And actually he left and I think April or or may of last year because what was happening. And he's and he loves. It's married a girl from California. But he's like, you know, it's you can't afford to live there anymore. No, it's up and down. It's like, yeah, it's registering your car in California. It's like a thousand bucks if you have an SUV. I mean, it's it's up and down. The price of school. There's no school choice. You know, you we moved to Phoenix, you know, after Charlie died. And it's like, there's school tax, you know, choice, right? So you get a voucher if you send your kid to a private Christian school. It's amazing. It's like right off the bat. You're saving yourself $7,500 bucks to school. So my, my totally off subject here, but just California, how they're aggressively going after everybody.

6:16My, my son back in 2020 had a brain injury. We're about to brain injury. We had to go through rehab. And we had the only rehab center that was that was specialized in his cognitive rehabilitation. Was and Baker show California. So we, I literally lived in RV with my son on an offer 18 months. And I was talking about it at a, you know, either on, either on a show like this or TV or something. Anyways, California found out about it. And they tried to charge me taxes. And I had approved to them that I wasn't there consistent the whole time that I was, I was leaving most weekends and going back home. And that we are there for medical reasons had to get the literally doctor notes to keep me from having to pay income tax in California. Geez. Are you kidding me? That's, I'm not joking. Yeah. I'm not joking. That's amazing. That's a really amazing story. And so we're, again, we did not plan on talking about any of this with the senator here. Because there's actual, we got a shutdown fight in Iran. But this is, this is, I thought of this.

7:17This is to meet up. All of our business, by the way. Yeah. Listen, I'm telling you, red states are booming. Reds, the cost of energy across the board and red states is like half, if not less than that of blue states. But it's more than this. Look at what mom Donnie is doing in New York, senator. This is Tamika Mallory. I thought of this as we were talking. I had the team grab it. This is the new crime advisor that mom Donnie has appointed play cut 280. I don't give a damn if they burn down target. Because targets should be on the streets with us calling for the justice that our people deserve. Don't talk to us about looting. Y'all are the looters. America has eluded black people. America looted the Native Americans when they first came here. So looting is what you do. We learned it from you. We learned violence from you.

8:17Wow. That's mom Donnie's new crime advisor. You know, I'm not married. You should not make people police. Why not? Make her chief police. You know, I'm Cherokee. I know I don't look it, but I actually am Cherokee. And I sometimes get people give me crap by it. And I said, I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. You know, control who my ancestors loved. But I am Cherokee. That's why we ended up in Oklahoma. And my, you know, I still carried. I'm actually a card carrying Cherokee. Not like because I have high cheap bones at Elizabeth Warren. Pocahontas. And so, but when she said Native Americans, I tell you what. First of all, very seldom of all this calls Native Americans were Indians. But it's frustrating because there is no ethnic group that serves in the military at greater numbers in Native Americans. And we're not out there riding and causing that stuff like like she's like she said.

9:17And so don't pull us into that picture. We respect the rule of law and we respect law enforcement. We love America. Regardless of what happened to us, we're not out there trying to have, you know, all trying to separate ourselves from someone else. Now, we are proud and proud to be Indian and we're proud of our tribes. But we fly the flag beside, you know, beside maybe our Cherokee flag along the way. But, you know, we're not out there carrying somebody else's flag or some bullying flags or Mexican flags. You know, you're totally right. I mean, Navajo Nation in Arizona, they vote Republican. Yeah. So there you go. We do. Yeah, they do. At a whole conversation that we actually do ballot chasing in Navajo Nation. We have a whole like Cherokee team or a Navajo team. Yeah. I mean, we have 36 tribes in the state of Oklahoma. And I had 19 in the second district. And we're a red state, completely red state, all 77 counties in Oklahoma vote red.

10:20And the only state that may have a higher concentration of Native Americans is in Mexico. But I'm not sure by that. I don't think so. Yeah, I think Oklahoma is the most, you know, and you guys got screwed up Supreme Court. That Supreme Court ruling, you know, that was, that was, that was a real bad one from a, was that corsage? Not the bad. Yeah. Gorsuch is not that weird thing. Yeah. Gorsuch. By the way, Gorsuch is the prime example of why Supreme courts need term limits. I mean, and I, at least and I come from a, from a wrestling world. I come from a fighting world and I come from politics. I know arrogance, but he's the most arrogant man I've ever met in my life. I mean that sincerely. I, I, I, I literally stood up and walked out of his office. And that says a lot because I, I, I, I, I, I may be the second most arrogant, but he's the most arrogant. Well, well, we want some on our side with today's. Yeah, we need him on the tariff ruling.

11:20He has power of us. We love Gorsuch. I, I don't. I don't, I don't, I absolutely do not. And I don't want to replace him with some lib, but I do not. I have zero respect. That guy is flat out lied to me. Uh, he, he told me something that he never, he never fulfilled. He, and he told me, shook my hand on it. I mean, we literally shook hands. And he didn't fulfill what he said he was going to do. And now you want to return my phone calls. And so I have zero, zero, zero respect for him. Hey, everybody.

And the senator warned us about him and now apparently, apparently, just as gorsher sounds sympathetic on the trans

13:23issue. Did you hear that? Making them a protected class. So. Well, you warned us. He warned us. He warned us. Well, there it is. It's, it's, it's, it's actually really tough to make a sender speechless on speechless. Yeah, I don't, you listen. Uh, men or men and boys or boys and. Supreme court cannot. Supreme court is not going to overthink this. Aren't they? They're going to overthink this. Whatever they rule, they cannot overturn reality. A pastor. My friend of mine used to say educated beyond their intelligence. Go ahead, senator. Go. I'm just telling you. Gorsh Gorsuch. When you meet with him, he's the smartest man in the room. And he may be. I mean, obviously he's brilliant. But there's, there's, there's a, there's some very brilliant people out there that doesn't want to show how brilliant they are. Um, but they, they, they, they can actually express it through humility. And that guy doesn't have the ability to do that. Uh, and for you to look at this case with, with transgender athletes

14:28in any other way, especially as a father of three, you know, three daughters who wrestle that means they're in a combative sport. Um, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You just, you know, that is a, that is a lifestyle choice when you decide you're going to transition. Yeah. I mean, absolutely. I'm, we're obviously 100% in agreement with you there, uh, senator. I, I do want to get, we have Iran coming up. There is, there was a bunch of back and forth last night. The Wall Street Journal posted something saying JD Vance is going for diplomacy but Trump wants to strike. You are, people need to understand this about you in this, I mean, this role, I'm going to say it. You don't have to say it, sir, but I hear it from everybody that you are playing this massive go between role between the house and the Senate and then even the, the, both legislative bodies in the White House. Can you shed any light on this Iranian potential strike versus diplomacy? By the way, the vice president's office wrote back and corrected the

15:28piece in the Wall Street Journal saying that Marco and JD are presenting a suite of options for military action to diplomacy. So they did correct the record there, but it was alive from the, from the go. Uh, what are you hearing, sir? Well, first of all, there's several people that play a good role between the White House and in the Senate. I mean, the president has many friends and I'm just lucky enough to be called one of them. So first of all, um, what's Secretary Hickseth has said multiple times mess around and find out. Um, I'm, I'm clear, I'm cleaning that up because my wife you met at me if I said the other thing. So with our, our, our distributors of this program. Yes. So see, I'm being very nice and, and the president has made it very clear that, um, he will be willing to protect the, the people of Iran if the murderous regime there in Iran decide they're, they're going to kill people in mass and what that mass number is. I don't know what the president's tolerance is, but I will tell you,

16:29the president doesn't bluff. Um, and he's proven that he is not afraid of Iran. He's not afraid of going in and we've proven we have the capability to, to destroy their air defense system and to strike anytime and anywhere. And he was made it very clear that he could have taken out the leadership if he wanted to, but he decided not to. And, um, and so I wouldn't be surprised if you see some military action in defense of the Iranian people. And I, I like to say this in 1977 when I was born, Iran was a friend of us. In fact, they were probably more Western advanced in the United States than it was to accepting women and, and workplaces and into government. Um, and, and, and, and actually into, uh, and, and ethnic groups too. Um, this current regime is destroyed all that. And we'd love to have a relationship back with the Iranian people. I think we have a lot in common. There was a lot of business relationships that was between Iran and the United States,

17:31prior to 1979, the overthrow of shawl. And so, um, I believe the president is actively looking at, um, at, um, at his position and what is the best way to support the people wanting to take back their country in Iran. Yeah, I mean, and, and listen, I, uh, I just, you know, we obviously support the people of Iran. We want independence. We want them to thrive. We want them to throw off these brutal dictators want them to do it. Can it on this show? And I can tell you our audience feels the same. I mean, the, you know, military action in another foreign, far away Middle Eastern land. It's not like Venezuela, Western hemisphere, Monroe, Donro doctrine. I think there's a, there's a broad base of support for Venezuela. It's, I think less so for Iran. So I, I hope that we, we, you know, I'm, by the way, I'm all four cutting off the oil flow, you know, the revenue of the CCP to Iran. I think that's absolutely what we should do. Moral support. Maybe there's some stuff that, you know, off the books, maneuvering behind the scenes that needs to happen

18:32with our special ops guys or whatever. I'm open to, I just, you know, I want to be cautious because regime change is, is messy. It's always messy and we, it's proven in the Middle East more so than, than ever. I will say there does seem to be a legitimate organic popular uprising. There is this, the, the son of the former Shah that, that seems like we had a guest on yesterday, Senator, that has a lot of support from the protesters movement. I have no idea if he has a majority of support within the country. But it does seem to indicate there are some elements that are aligning for a real massive change in Iran. Well, regime change. This is much different than the regime change you saw underneath a Secretary Clinton who had the Arab Spring. Which met left the Middle East and complete disarray versus what's happening in Iran. This is an, this is an organic group that is right risen up. And when each time you have these organic groups or someone, be it the, the Shah son or not. You know, there's a difference of opinions if he's popular or not popular. I'd say he's not actually that popular. But anytime you see a movement like this leadership intents, you know, intends to move to the front.

19:38And this is the people, not the United States trying to have regime change. This is the people that's having the regime change. We're there to support the people in the event that they start being slaughtered by their own regime. Now to pivot back to, to, to, to, to advice president J.d. Vance. That I will tell you there is no daylight. There's open discussions, but no daylight when a decision is made between the president and J.d. Vance. They have a great relationship, Marco and our Secretary Rubio and the Vice President have a great relationship, but they also have such a good relationship that they can have an open discussion, but when the decision is made, when the play call is made, they are together. And that's the whole presentation. What the President allows people to do is express his opinion. I visit with a President most time when he's asking me a question, what do you think about this? And he's truly inquisitive, but when he decides to make a decision, actually, here's everybody out, he decides

20:38and he moves. And that's what's so good about this administration is that when they move, they move together. And JD has been very open about his position sometime on the use of military force, but he is probably one of the smartest guys you'll sit down and talk to when he's truly wanting to get to the facts. He's not a guy that makes decisions off of motions. JD makes decisions off of facts. And he can he can change his opinion because of that. That's why I have so much respect for the guy. I totally agree. I mean, there's they're going to try and drum up a lot of drama because 2028's looming. That's all it is. Okay. Yeah. Of course. Let's Senator, thank you for your time. We'll talk about the funding shutdown soon. Okay. Talk to you later. President Trump walked into a catch 22 when taking office. Do nothing in America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future. Instead, he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train and buy some time. But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system and experts predict dramatic price

21:41increases and market uncertainty. Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you. And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver. Preserve gold is our go-to choice here at the Charlie Kirk show. We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver even inside your retirement accounts like an IRA or 401k. Now, hear from Charlie in his own words. Preserve gold is my go-to choice for all my precious metal needs. They are the real deal and I recommend them to my friends, family, and viewers. Get their free wealth protection guide now by texting Charlie to 50505. President Trump is fighting for America's future. Now it's your turn to help protect yours. Honour to have our next guest. That is Lee Zeldin who's running the EPA doing an amazing job. One of the, one of the picks from Trump that I only ever hear positive things about. Uh, Lee Zeldin, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk show. It's good to have you. It's great to be with the guys.

22:43Yeah, absolutely. You got, you're crushing it over there at the EPA. And you know, we used to thought think of the EPA is like this employment killer. You know, it's just like this barrier to getting good things done, being productive as an entrepreneur in the country. You are changing that. And I'm thinking everything's great. Everything's great. And then I, you know, I've trolled around Twitter yesterday and I see that the New York Times is claiming, uh, Lee, that you have, uh, you're, you stopped considering live saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only on the cost of businesses. It's, I love that on Twitter. It's now getting slapped with a community note because it's a complete hogwash, but it's gone viral. Five point, their tweet has 5.1 million views because they are lying to people, correct? This is, this is the news. Yeah, they like to write a headline like this to freak people out to twist what would actually be accurate because they're trying to advance a narrative. And it's amazing how synced up they are

23:44with others in the left wing media, congressional Democrats, all of a sudden at once, they're all advancing a narrative that is 100% untrue. Of course, we are going to be considering to factor in the impact on lives when doing our job. We are a core mission of EPA is protecting human health and the environment, but what we aren't going to do is just play along with whatever the left wing strategy is of the day, uh, to try to advance Trump's arrangement syndrome at its highest level. That, you know, for us, you know, we've rejected the notion that in order to protect the environment, you have to destroy the economy. We inherited a mess and all sorts of different regulations that amount to the trillions. We just saw some footage there of President Trump at a fort factory. Yeah, they're in so many different ways. The Obama and Biden administrations were tailpipe

24:44emissions and electric vehicle mandates working with the blue states like California have reduced consumer choice, have increased vehicle costs. And we inherited this mess and decided with this Trump mandate, President Trump winning all the battleground states, winning the popular vote, we're going to fix all of it at once. And whether it's sending to Congress, the three Biden EPA waivers to California that gave them permission to do their electric vehicle mandate, which Congress then passed the resolutions to reject and President Trump signed. It's the change to cafe standards that you saw Secretary Duffy announced with President Trump at the Oval Office a few weeks. It's the proposed repeal of the 2009 endangerment finding and all of the greenhouse gas emissions of light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles that followed and that start stop that annoying almost universally hated start stop feature on these cars that were getting rid of the off-cycle credits, all on one proposal, which it finalized would be the largest active deregulation in the history

25:49of the United States of America. We are going to push back on the left with their false narratives, their untruth, the mess of regulation that we inherited and our goals to fix everything and to do it truthfully, promoting gold standard science and fulfilling that Trump mandate that the American public voted for. Yeah, well, that's exciting. Go ahead. It just strikes me. The EPA, the right has always had to play in this unfair playing field where if you, the Biden administration or the Obama administration does something not so to pursue a political agenda. And then if you repeal it, you have this panic attack where it's, they're rolling back the environmental. Well, that's exactly, I mean, exactly. That's the headline that we live in the 90s again. Yeah, that's the headline. That's the implication. That's what they want to do. This is probed out. This is fake that they want to imply that you don't care about people's lives. The Trump administration does not care about people's lives when the exact opposite is true. And we're actually creating an opportunity for growth again in this country and getting rid of nonsense regulations. Now, this is what's

26:49funny about having you on today. We had Senator Mark Wayne Molen and he was talking about gas prices at a dollar 83 in some counties in Oklahoma. You clap back at the governor, Governor Gavin Newsom's press office. I loved this one. By the way, this is image 303. So governor, Governor Gavin Newsom press office is bragging about the fact that, you know, in California, gas prices hit lowest levels in years. Here's what drivers will pay. So he's taken credit for what you and the president are doing. Meanwhile, it's, what is it around? I think average price around $4, $420. I just googled it this morning in California and you got a buck 83 in Oklahoma. Why, why is, why, why are you calling? Let's just say garbage on this, this note from Governor Gavin Newsom. Because California can have lower gas prices if the left wing Democrats who are destroying pummeling that state into the ground would be advancing great energy policies like you're seeing in states where energy costs so much less, where it costs less to heat your home to fill up your gas

27:54tank, where people are able to make their dollar stretch further because there are people in government at the state level who are advancing smart energy policies. But in California, you know, Governor Newsom and the Democrats running the legislature have been beholden to the far left many of them are part of the far left pandering the far left and pushing these energy and environmental policies that are driving so many Californians to leave their state permanently for good. President Trump has been able to through his policies reduce gas prices to under $3 in 43 states across the country. California is not one of them and that is because of these people at the state level at the capital of California pushing these bad energy and environment policies so yeah, I think that if those Democrats in California wanted to truly be part of the progress, maybe they would get the heck out of the way going forward rather than doing what they have been to and creating a mess that's been increasing gas prices and it's a reason why that list isn't

28:5944 instead of 43 is because of these people who are bragging now and trying to take credit for the progress that President Trump has been delivering since the moment he came back in office. It's so like brazen that's what I kick it over so they have their average gas prices in California are dollar 40 above the national average said 421 it's a dollar 40 above the national average and you have Gavin Newsom taken about saying look at what I've done in the state of California went everybody with a brain knows this is because President Trump's policies what you guys are doing at the EPA it's just I mean you you almost have to tip your hat at the brazenness of the lie like the fact that he's willing to do this on Twitter when he knows the the administrator the EPA is going to come out and knock him for it's another question we have Lee here is that we we're kind of looking at utility prices as well are we seeing those drop commensurate with the price of energy in other ways like gas prices well there's such a huge difference in red states and blue states

30:02and you know we saw for example President Trump's been pushing this pipeline called Constitution pipeline to deliver a natural gas from Pennsylvania into New England that New Englanders need natural gas it would reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy it would make of energy prices more affordable and it's being blocked by the left wing and you look at you compare policies in red states where it costs so much less to heat your home then when you look at these Democrat run states it's not a coincidence you know it's not like there's nothing else to it no that it actually tells a pretty big story when you compare the price differential between the two states now all across the entire country the numbers were going up big time when President Biden was in office the policies of his administration the all sorts of new regulations and a favoring intermittent sources over base load power President Trump understands the need to ramp up

31:07base load power in his country he understands the need to unleash energy dominance he wants to see more pipelines being built thankfully they now are he wants to see more power plants being built President Trump has saved the clean beautiful coal President Trump has been getting new nuclear sites online I've been at groundbreaking all across this country Idaho Falls Idaho new nuclear facility I was there for the groundbreaking I was in West Memphis Arkansas were a four billion dollar data center was being built so and it was built with a partnership with Arkansas that provides a net benefit to rate payers so this is policies yeah this is my question for you uh mr. administrator is what so you've got all these new data centers going up right they we know that we need it for to fuel the AI revolution we know that we the President Trump in the administration you guys the EPA have made this a core tenant we want to be the AI center crypto center but that takes a ton of energy are we worried that these new demands from these data centers obviously Arkansas

32:13is a good example of it not being a concern but because they're building capacity but are we worried that these data centers are going to drive up prices for consumers at home it's all about how you do it Andrew and and when you reference that West Memphis Arkansas example you have a partnership with the state of Arkansas and energy where the rate payers end up receiving a net benefit not a net cost a net benefit because of that project uh by the way over a billion dollars so you get the jobs for the construction you get the jobs long term because we're talking about a multi-billion dollar project uh in Arkansas and uh what you have in Arkansas that really makes it all possible nuclear energy uh we have retrofits that are going on across the country we have small and large new builds uh President Trump has saved plants uh that we're going to go under uh and at EPA uh we have been pushing forth regulatory proposals uh that would allow more plants to be built

33:16to streamline the the process uh to make sure that it takes less time it costs less money there's more certainty when making this investment see when President Trump talks about trillions of dollars of new investment coming to this country this isn't some hypothetical claim of something that might happen years from now the ground is being broken all across America already uh of these massive new investments that are taking place uh and we're just going to keep keep going we'll end up with more finalized deregulatory actions at one agency at the EPA in one year that entire federal governments have done in the past across all federal agencies across entire presidencies we're finalizing deregulatory actions into the trillions of dollars uh and we're proud of it and we're going to continue to stay focused no matter what you know the New York times of the Washington Post or you know any of these other left wing outlets no matter how much you

34:17might be you know upsetting some of the furthest left wing Democrats in Congress they're not going to bully and intimidate the Trump EPA out of doing the right thing to follow through on this deregulatory pledge to the American public to grow the economy. Great work I want to say again uh of all of the operators and Trump's cabinet you at the EPA I only hear what a great job you're doing so Lee Zeldin Administrator the EPA great work it is no longer an impediment to growth but a boon and uh so we thank you for your work we'll see you again soon thank you Lee.

You had one I could you read it to us or do we need to wait for the clip? This was

36:19the Alito clip where the ACLU was forced to admit and we're talking of course about there's a case before the Supreme Court about trans sports trans athletes this by the way this all right here we got it so this is supposedly I don't have the audio clip but this is we're grabbing watching it. Alito to decide if there is discrimination on the basis of sex under title nine we need to define what sex is right and the ACLU says yes so Alito says what does it mean to be a man or a woman a boy or a girl ACLU says we do not have a definition for the court you know it reminded me because you told me this in the break and I was like that's this is why Charlie was so good he would he just stuck on this question again and again and again because he knew he knew it fried a liberal brain it does it just think it actually short circuits a lot of their well imagine if they just had to go imagine if they tried to run past Alito with though well it's the if you define as a woman then you're a woman yeah well I'm feeling very

37:19negative about the Supreme Court currently because I'm expecting them to come down against Trump's tariffs and then we have Senator Mark Wayne Molen saying some not nice things about Neil Gorsuch justice Gorsuch and then you've got you know Amy Coney Barrett is basically saying similar it's like calling them trans girls there's a boy and there's a girl and there that's what the options are there's this trans girl stuff is it's not a good start it's not a good start that they're actually misrepresenting the sex of the the children it's interesting that uh Kavanaugh does seem the most on our side because Kavanaugh was annoying in that uh I can't remember the name of it but the gay rights case that was during the Trump first ad men uh a version of Obergefell yeah it wasn't that it was well so now that I think about I actually think he ruled our way but he did write it was like an annoying thing where it was when they ruled that like gender identity was a protected class I think oh right well and then in they ruling he says like I ruled against this but I want to applaud you guys because you've made a lot of progress over the last few years I'm just really happy I have a theory on Kavanaugh that he

38:22got he got red pill during the confirmation well people have speculated on that I don't think I truthfully I don't think his record bears that out because he's been live on stuff he's been more good than bad overall but I don't think I don't think he people have reacted to him by going wow he's way more conservative than we anticipated and it must be because the problem with basically gone the problem with the spring court right now is that Trump's first term we have some kind of they're not swings and misses but they're not they're not dominant right they're not an elito they're not a here we go right behind your head right here Clarence Thomas Charlie's favorite that Supreme Court justice it's worth noting yeah like probably you know the best the two best Supreme Court justices we have were picked by two bushes well and they're a little older now that's my that is both of them are old and the trouble is what I've heard I remember speaking with someone who knew the court well and the problem was was like elito and Thomas they both

39:23kind of react to the vibe around them so they get depressed when it's a liberal presidency and you know if they feel or if they feel outnumbered on the court but when they don't feel a number when it's when they're getting good cases they get excited and they enjoy being a justice and then they're less likely to retire and that's a bother because you know it is it has to be said justice Thomas especially is old it would strategically be sound for him to retire now rather than I mean even if he were to wait another year if we've lost the Senate through some fluke or if we'd say one you know one vote margin then they could conceivably still wall yeah he's 77 years old born in 1948 and he's he is an amazing he's an adjustable justice and elito is amazing what's elitos age I don't think he's that much he's certainly not youthful I think he's going to be 77 as well we'll find out I'm I'm looking it up right now 75 years old exactly 150 so they're both let's let's play a clip here from elito questioning this Kathleen Martinetti the the attorney arguing

40:27before this room court case I think on behalf of trans sports rights or whatever 309 well that has a boys let's say track team and a girls track team a student who has the jeans and the reproductive system of a male and had those at birth and has never taken puberty blockers never taken female hormones never had any gender altering or affirming surgery says nevertheless I am a woman that's who I am quit can the school say no you cannot participate on the girls team yes they can but that person is that person not a woman in your understanding the person says I sincerely believe I a woman I am in fact woman I think that person not a woman I would respect

41:29their self identity and addressing the person self identity I would respect their pronouns uh yeah I mean it's yeah it's it the big picture thing is is neither of them they're not imminently at death store no but and we have had justices who made it 290 I believe Stevens did and he only he lived a long time after he retired to well you get the Ruth Bader Ginsburg exactly though so you can have people if you do not choose the time of your retirement God will choose the time of your retirement and it may not be the time that men would prefer and so we have to think about that and we have to think about these supreme court appointments because I don't think the three appointments we made none of them were catastrophic they're not and we had suitor who was picked by republican and became a liberal member of the court but they're also not home runs and we're also seeing how issues have evolved so for decades the top concern of a lot of concerns was oh we need to overturn really wait for example we now have that we need to be thinking about what are the

42:30other issues that we're looking towards and so for example now it's a much bigger deal you have to have justices who are ready to overturn you know the DEI regime the anti anti white anti male discrimination stuff really enforce that stuff and not everyone is great on that and you have to make sure you're getting justices who will be skilled at that and also skilled at the coalition building aspect of it and I talk to people who are clerks lawyers and they have a lot of a lot of interesting takes on this because there are judges who might be really good on the ideology stuff but they alienate people and then there are judges who are good on the ideology stuff but they're also very good at that backroom dealing stuff and it's very interesting to talk to them yeah you have a lot of connections within within this area you're always talking to clerks and you back channel with a lot of these people so I take your word for this I think there I will tell you I not too long ago I was back east and was in DC and I was meeting with some people that this is all they focus on it is picking and sifting through the potential nominees for a next Supreme Court

43:34and there's already names been floated they're being vetted right now I'm telling you so there's work being done and there's a lot of disagreement about who's going to be the best who's going to be the right right pick but it's very possible that Trump will have another pick or potentially two and we might have a majority Trump chosen Supreme Court and it would be a huge miss if that's not an amazing Supreme Court there's a lot of people that don't want it to just go through the federalist society again so that's a okay and a worms for another day for more on many of these stories and news you can trust go to charliekirk.com
