Why Everyone Is Fleeing California ft. Lee Zeldin

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. 00:00:05 Speaker 2: I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You 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 at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start at turning point, you say 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. 00:00:45 Speaker 1: Here I am Lord, Use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 2: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 3: All right, without further ado, we have Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He's a great, great Senator out of the state of Oklahoma, and I just want to give you guys in the red state of Oklahoma little kudos here, Senator, you guys have the lowest gas prices in the country. Apparently a buck eighty three a gallon in some counties in the in the great state of Oklahoma. 00:01:29 Speaker 4: That's that's like nineteen ninety nine PRIs. 00:01:31 Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, what is this. 00:01:33 Speaker 3: We said we wanted the nineties back, and at least in Oklahoma we have it. 00:01:36 Speaker 5: This is great. 00:01:38 Speaker 6: In the nineties it was like seventy eight cents a gallon, but it was really I was I was filling up my work trucks. However, at least in ninety seven, ninety eight, but it's still yet to be under two dollars gallons. 00:01:52 Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. 00:01:53 Speaker 6: This is a difference, right, So Oklahoma has the lowest gas prices in the country because we embrace our fall fuels and drill baby drill in California has the highest gas prices in the country, and they're shutting down rigs and drilling activity on a daily and shutting down pipelines on the daily. Go figure how those two would run hand in hand, right, Yeah. 00:02:17 Speaker 3: So you you have a you have multiple counties in Oklahoma at buck eighty three. Average gas price in California right now is four dollars in twenty one cents. 00:02:28 Speaker 4: Honestly, that's lower than i'd have expected. You could have told me it was over five diesels. 00:02:33 Speaker 3: For eighty six. I mean, I just think it's amazing. And then you've got California. This is not what we were planning on talking about here, Senator, But you've got California has lost There's a New York Post article that I was reading this morning, California has lost a trillion dollars of wealth. So Sergey Brinn and all these other billionaires are fleeing the state. Peter Teel, multiple others opening up satellite offices in 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. So if you are on paper a billionaire, they're going to tax five percent of your wealth, just take it to fund their medical You're gonna they're gonna shore up the medical books where they're giving free healthcare to illegals in that state. 00:03:22 Speaker 6: Or give it to the homeless, because that's worked out so well, right, and let's not forget to not forget they ran off the wealthiest man in the country or in the world, Elon Musk, that 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 starkist change moves. 00:03:44 Speaker 1: To Dallas, Texas. Uh. 00:03:46 Speaker 6: And and you start looking at cost of building, right, the cost of building in California is somewhere between four hundred and four hundred and fifty dollars a square foot, it's half that and in Oklahoma, so you can build a house and actually make it affordable. 00:04:02 Speaker 1: I mean, they. 00:04:04 Speaker 6: Talk about affordable housing in California, but they regularly themselves out of out, out of existence. And yet in Oklahoma that's just called daily life because we have good governance, because we have a red state instead of blue state. 00:04:16 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:04:16 Speaker 3: I think that's a really fascinating dynamic of modern American cultures. This is divergence between red states and blue states. 00:04:22 Speaker 4: It's getting further for the and it's we're seeing it in the migration patterns if you look at it. 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. 00:04:53 Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about. Yeah, exactly. It didn't realize it was retroactive. 00:04:56 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why they're all bailing. And it's not just Musk. It's like a Google guys and all probably a bunch we've not even heard about. I'm at all bailing. 00:05:04 Speaker 5: I left. 00:05:05 Speaker 6: Hey, I have. 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 swamp boy that has done very very well at business investments. And he doesn't do you know, tech companies. 00:05:21 Speaker 1: He does. 00:05:22 Speaker 6: 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. Actually he left in in uh I think April or May of last year because of what was happening. And he's and he loves he's married a girl from California. But he's like, you know, it's it's you can't afford to live there anymore. 00:05:46 Speaker 5: And it's up and down. 00:05:47 Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's a registering your car in California is like a thousand bucks if you have an suv. I mean it's it's it's up and down. The price of school, there's no school choice. You know, 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. 00:06:06 Speaker 5: It's amazing. 00:06:07 Speaker 3: It's like, right off the bat, you're sevent yourself seventy five hundred bucks to school. 00:06:11 Speaker 6: So my totally off subject here, but just California, how they're aggressively going after everybody. My son back in twenty twenty had a brain injury. Were a back to brain injury, and we had to go through rehab and we had the only rehab center that was specialized in his cognitive rehabilitation was in Bakersfield, California. So we I literally lived in an RV with my son on and off for eighteen months. 00:06:36 Speaker 1: And I was talking about it. 00:06:38 Speaker 6: 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 to prove to them that I wasn't there consistently the whole time, that I was leaving most weekends and going back home, and that we were there for medical reasons. Had to get the literally doctor notes to keep me from having to pay income tax in California. 00:07:01 Speaker 5: Geez, are you kidding me? That's not joking. Yeah, that's amazing. That's a really amazing story. Uh. 00:07:08 Speaker 3: So we're again we did not plan on talking about any of this with the senator here because there's actual we got to shut down by zooming and iron. But this is this is I thought of this. This This is Tamika. 00:07:18 Speaker 1: Mallory by the way. 00:07:20 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I'm telling you Red states are booming. The cost of energy across the bord in 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 that Mom Donnie has appointed. 00:07:43 Speaker 5: Play cut two eighty. 00:07:45 Speaker 4: I don't give a damn if they burned down Target, because targets should be on. 00:07:49 Speaker 5: The streets with us calling for the justice. That are what people deserve. Don't talk to us about looting. Y'ah are the loots America has looted. But people. 00:08:07 Speaker 3: America louted the Native Americans when they first came here. 00:08:11 Speaker 5: Co Louting is what you do. We learned it from you. We learned violence from you. Wow, that's Mom Donnie's new crime advisor. 00:08:22 Speaker 4: You know, at least why not make her. 00:08:26 Speaker 5: Chief yet chief? 00:08:27 Speaker 1: You know, I'm Cherokee. 00:08:29 Speaker 6: I'm only I know, I don't look at but I actually am Cherokee, and I sometimes get people give me crap by it. And I said, man, 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 card carrying Cherokee, not like because I have high cheap bones. Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas. 00:08:53 Speaker 1: Uh and so. 00:08:55 Speaker 6: But when she said native Americans, I tell you what. First of all, very seldom of all it's called Native Americans. 00:09:01 Speaker 1: We're Indians. 00:09:03 Speaker 6: But it's frustrating because there is no ethnic group that serves in the military at greater numbers than Native Americans. And we're not out there rioting and causing that stuff like like she's like she said it, So don't pull us into that picture. We respect the rule of law, and we respect law enforcement. Me to 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 our Cherokee flag along the way. But you know, we're not out there carrying somebody else's flag or Samolian flags or Mexican flags. 00:09:50 Speaker 3: You know, you're totally right. I mean Navajo Nation in Arizona, they vote Republican. Yeah, so there you go, do Yeah, they do conversation so that we actually ballot chasing. In Navajo Nation, we have a whole like Cherokee team or at Navajotel. Yeah. 00:10:05 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I when I we have thirty six tribes in the state of Oklahoma, and I had nineteen in the second district. And we're a red state, completely red state. All seventy seven counties and Oklahoma vote read. And the only state that may have a higher concentration of Native Americans is New Mexico. But I'm not sure by that that that I don't think city. 00:10:32 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Oklahoma is the most you know, you guys got Supreme Court. That Supreme Court ruling, you know that was that was that was a real bad one from U. 00:10:42 Speaker 5: Was that gors Yeah. 00:10:46 Speaker 6: By the way, Gorsich is the prime example of why Supreme courts need term limits. I mean, and I listen, 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. 00:11:03 Speaker 1: I mean that sincerely. I I literally stood up and walked out of his office. 00:11:07 Speaker 6: And uh that says a lot, because I I may be the second most arrogant, but he's the most arrogant. 00:11:15 Speaker 4: Well, well, we want him on our side with today's he has power. We love courses. 00:11:22 Speaker 1: I don't. 00:11:24 Speaker 4: I don't. 00:11:24 Speaker 1: I don't. 00:11:25 Speaker 6: I absolutely do not, And I don't want to replace him with some lib but I do not. I have zero respect for that Guy's flat out lied to me. He he told me something that he never he never fulfilled, and he told me shook my hand on 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. 00:11:48 Speaker 3: Him, everybody.

So we are getting live updates from Scotus. 00:13:14 Speaker 4: Yes, and the Senator warned us about him, and now apparently apparently Justice Gorse laughing but sympathetic on the trans isssue. Did you hear that's making them a protected class? So well you are, he warned us. 00:13:34 Speaker 6: Well, and it's pretty it's it's it's it's actually really tough to make a center speechless. 00:13:39 Speaker 1: I'm speechless. 00:13:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't you listen, men or men and boys or boys. 00:13:45 Speaker 4: And Supreme Court cannot. 00:13:48 Speaker 5: Overthink this, aren't they They're going to overthink this. 00:13:50 Speaker 4: Whatever they rule, they cannot overturn me out. 00:13:52 Speaker 3: A pastor a friend of mine used to say, educated beyond their intelligence. 00:13:56 Speaker 6: Go ahead, Center, I'm just telling you a gorse when you meet with him, he's the smartest man in the room. 00:14:02 Speaker 1: And he may be. 00:14:03 Speaker 6: 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, but they they they can actually express it to humility, and that guy doesn't have the ability to do that. 00:14:22 Speaker 7: Uh. 00:14:23 Speaker 1: And for you to look at. 00:14:24 Speaker 6: This case with with transgender athletes in any other way, especially as a father of three you know, three daughters who wrestle. That means they're in a combative sport. I'm sorry, you just you know that is a that is a lifestyle choice when you decide you're going to transition. 00:14:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean absolutely, We're obviously one hundred percent in agreement with you there, Senator, I do want to get we have Iran coming up there. There was a bunch of back and forth last night. The Wall Street Journal post did something saying jd Vance is going for diplomacy, but Trump wants to strike. You are People need to understand this about you and this I mean, this role. 00:15:09 Speaker 5: I'm going to say it. You don't have to say. 00:15:10 Speaker 3: 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 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 piece in the Wall Street Journal saying that Marco and jd are put presenting a suite of options from military action to diplomacy. So they did correct the record there, but it was a lie from the from the go. 00:15:39 Speaker 6: What are you hearing, sir, Well, first of all, there's several people that play a good role between the White House and 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, what's Secretary hick Seth has said multiple times mess around to find out I'm clear. I'm clear that up because my wife's be mad at me if I said the other thing. 00:16:03 Speaker 5: And our distributors of this program continued. 00:16:07 Speaker 1: So see, I'm being very nice. 00:16:08 Speaker 6: And the President has made it very clear that he will be willing to protect the people of Iran if the murderous regime there in Iran decide 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 the President doesn't bluff, 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 destroy their air defense system and to strike any time, 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 so I wouldn't be surprised if you see some military action in defense of the Iranian people. 00:16:57 Speaker 1: And I like to say this. 00:16:59 Speaker 6: In nineteen seventy seven, 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 in workplaces and into government and to and and actually into into ethnic groups too. 00:17:19 Speaker 1: This current regime is. 00:17:21 Speaker 6: Destroyed all that, and we'd love to have a relationship back with their running people. 00:17:25 Speaker 1: I think we have a lot in common. There was a lot of. 00:17:27 Speaker 6: Business relationships that was between Iran and the United States prior to nineteen seventy nine the overthrow Shawl, and so I believe the present is actively. 00:17:38 Speaker 1: Looking at at. 00:17:43 Speaker 6: At his position and what is the best way to support the people wanting to take back their country in Iran. 00:17:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and listen, I 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 Canada on this show, and I can tell you our audience feels the same. I mean, you know, military action in another foreign, far away Middle Eastern land. It's not like Venezuela, Western Hemisphere, Monroe, Donroe doctrine. I think there's A. There's a broad basis support for Venezuela. It's I think less so for Iran. So I hope that we we you know, I'm I by the way, I'm all four cutting off the oil flow, you know, the revenue the CCP to Iran. 00:18:24 Speaker 5: I think that's absolutely what we should do. Moral support. 00:18:26 Speaker 3: Maybe there's some stuff that you know, off the books, maneuvering behind the scenes that needs to happen with our special ops guys or whatever. I'm open to. I just you know, I want to be cautious because regime change is messy. It's always messy, and it's proven in the Middle East more so than than ever. But I will say there does seem to be a legitimate, organic popular uprising. There is this the son of the former Shah, that that it 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. 00:19:05 Speaker 1: Well, a regime change. 00:19:07 Speaker 6: This is much different than the regime change you saw under Secretary Clinton, who had the Air of Spring which met left the Middle East in complete disarray, versus what's happening in Iran. This isn't This is an organic group that has right risen up. And when anytime you have these organic groups or someone be it the Shawl Sun or not, you know, there's 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. And 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 and the event that they start being slaughtered by their own regime. Now to pivot back to pre to to Vice President Jade Vance, I will tell you there is no day There's open discussions, but no daylight when the decision is made between the President and Jadie 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 present team. What the president allows people to do is express his opinion. I visit with the President most time when he's asking me a question, what do you think about this? 00:20:32 Speaker 1: And he's truly inquisitive. 00:20:33 Speaker 6: But when he decides to make a decision, actually hears everybody out. He decides, and he moves. And that's what's so good about this administration is that when they move, they move together. 00:20:44 Speaker 1: And JD has been very. 00:20:46 Speaker 6: Open about his position sometime on the use of military force. But he is probably one of the smartest guys you'll set 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. 00:21:07 Speaker 5: I totally agree. 00:21:08 Speaker 3: I mean, there's they're gonna try and drum up a lot of drama because twenty twenty eight is looming. 00:21:12 Speaker 5: That's all it is. 00:21:13 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, of course. 00:21:15 Speaker 3: Senator, thank you for your time. We'll talk about your funding shutdowns soon. 00:21:19 Speaker 1: Okay, talk to you later. 00:21:22 Speaker 3: President Trump walked into a catch twenty two. 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 us some time. But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system, and experts predict dramatic price increases 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 four O one K now hear from Charlie in his. 00:22:06 Speaker 2: 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. 00:22:13 Speaker 3: Get their free Wealth Protection guide now by texting Charlie to five zero five zero five. President Trump is fighting for America's future. Now, it's your term to help protect yours honor to have our next guest, that is Lee Zelden, who's running the EPA. Is doing an amazing job. One of the one of the picks from Trump that I only ever hear positive things about. Leezelden. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's good to have you. 00:22:42 Speaker 7: It's great to be with the guys. 00:22:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you got You are crushing it over there at the EPA. And you know, we used to think of the EPA as 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. 00:22:56 Speaker 5: You are changing that. 00:22:58 Speaker 3: And I'm thinking everything's great, everything great, And then I, you know, trolled around Twitter yesterday and I see that The New York Times is claiming Lee that you have you stopped considering live saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only on the cost of businesses. And I loved it on Twitter. It's now getting slapped with a community note because it's complete hogwashed, but it's gone viral five point their tweet has five point one million views because they are lying to people. 00:23:27 Speaker 5: Correct, this is this is the news. 00:23:30 Speaker 7: 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 the narrative. It's amazing how synced up they are with others in the left wing media, Congressional Democrats, all of a sudden at once, they're all advancing a narrative that is one hundred untrue. Of course, we are going to be considering to factor in the impact online when doing our job. Our 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 to try to advance Trump arrangement syndrome. 00:24:20 Speaker 1: At its highest level. 00:24:23 Speaker 2: For us. 00:24:24 Speaker 7: 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 into the trillions. We just saw some footage there President Trump at a Ford factory. 00:24:39 Speaker 1: There. In so many. 00:24:40 Speaker 7: Different ways, the Obama and Biden administrations, with tailpipe emissions and electric vehicle mandates, working with 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 the Congress the three Biden EP 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 a Secretary Duffy announced with President Trump at the Oval Office a few weeks It's the proposed repeal of the two thousand and nine Endangerment Finding and all of the greenhouse gas emissions on light, medium and heavy duty vehicles that followed, and that start stop, that annoying, almost universally hated stop feature on these cars, that we're getting rid of, the off cycle credits, all in one proposal, which if finalized, would be the largest active deregulation in the history of the United States of America. We are going to push back on the left with their false narratives, their untruthed 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. 00:26:08 Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's exciting. 00:26:09 Speaker 4: It just strikes me the EPA, the writer has always had to play in this unfair playing field where if you the Biden administration or the bomb administration does something not so to pursue a political agenda, and then if you repeal it, you have this panic attack where it's, ah, they're rolling back the environmental Well that's exactly, I mean exactly, that's not how we live in the nineties. 00:26:30 Speaker 5: Again. 00:26:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the headline, that's the implication. That's what they want to do. This is pravda. This is fake that they want to imply that you don't care about people's lives, that 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 funny about having you on today. We had Senator Mark Wayne Mullin and he was talking about gas prices at a dollar eighty three in some counties in Oklahoma. You clap back at the gun Gavinor Gavin Newsom's press off office. 00:27:02 Speaker 5: I loved this one. By the way, this is image three oh three. 00:27:05 Speaker 3: So Governor Gavin Newsom's 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, what is around I think average price around four dollars for twenty I just googled it this morning in California and you got a buck eighty three in Oklahoma? Why is why are you calling uh, let's just say garbage on this this note from Governor Gavin Newsom. 00:27:37 Speaker 7: Yeah, because California could 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 tank, where people are able to make their dollars stretch further because they're people in government at the state level who are advancing smart energy policies. But in California, Governor k Newso 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 three dollars in forty three states across the country. California is not one of them, and that is because of these people at the state level in the Capitol 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 doing, creating a mess that's been increasing gas prices. And it's the reason why that list isn't for instead of forty three 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 into office. 00:29:10 Speaker 3: It's so like brazen, that's what I can't get over. So they have their average gas prices in California are dollar forty above the national average, except four twenty one, it's a dollar forty above the national average. And you have Gavin Newsome taking a bow saying, look at what I've done in the state of California, when 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 the fact that he's willing to do this on Twitter when he knows the administrator the EPA is gonna come out and knock him for Another question we have lee here is that we 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. 00:29:59 Speaker 7: There's such a huge difference in red states and blue states. And you know, we saw, for example, President Trump's from pushing this pipeline called Constitution Pipeline to deliver a natural gas from Pennsylvania into New England. The New Englanders need natural gas. It would reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy. It would make 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 than when you look at these Democrat run states. It's not a coincidence, you know, It's not like there's nothing. 00:30:40 Speaker 1: Else to it. 00:30:41 Speaker 7: 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 all sorts of new regulation and a favoring intermittent sources over base load power. President Trump understands the need to ramp up baseload power in this 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 a clean, beautiful coal. President Trump has been getting new nuclear sites online. I've been at groundbreakings all across this country. Idaho Falls, Idaho new nuclear facility. I was there for the groundbreaking. I was in West Memphis, Arkansas where a four billion dollar data center was being built, and it was built with a partnership with Arkansas that provides a net benefit to rate payers the red state policies. 00:31:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is my question for you, mister administrator, is what so you've got all these new data centers going up right? They we know that it's we need it for to fuel the AI revolution. We know that the President Trump and the administration. You guys at 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 is 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. 00:32:23 Speaker 7: It's all about how you do it, Andrew. And when you reference that West Memphis, Arkansas example, you have a partnership with the State of Arkansas and energy where the ratepayers end up receiving a net benefit, not a net cost, a net benefit because of that project, 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 in Arkansas, and what do you have in Arkansas that really makes it all possible? 00:32:56 Speaker 1: Nuclear energy. 00:32:57 Speaker 7: We have retrofits that are going on across the country. We have small and large new builds. President Trump has saved plants that we're going to go under. 00:33:08 Speaker 1: At EPA. We have been. 00:33:10 Speaker 7: Pushing forth regulatory proposals that would allow more plants to be built, to streamline the process, 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 of these massive new investments that are taking place, and we're just going to keep it going. We'll end up with more finalized deregulatory actions at one agency at the EPA in one year the entire federal governments have done in the past across all federal agencies, across entire presidencies, were finalizing deregulatory actions into the trillions of dollars, and we're proud of it. And we're going to continue to stay focused no matter what you know The New York Times, the Washington Post, or you know any of these other left wing out outlets, no matter how much you might be, you know, upsetting some of the furthest left wing Democrats in Congress. They are 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. 00:34:35 Speaker 5: Great work. I want to say it again. 00:34:37 Speaker 3: 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's eld administrator of the ep A. Great work is no longer impediment to growth, but a boon, and so we thank you for your work. 00:34:53 Speaker 5: We'll see again soon. Thank you, Lee. 00:34:54 Speaker 1: Thanks guys. 00:34:57 Speaker 8: This is Lane Schomberger, chief investment office and founding partner of y REFI.

You you had one, I could you read it to us or do we need to wait for the clip? 00:36:18 Speaker 5: This was the Alito clip. 00:36:20 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, 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. 00:36:30 Speaker 4: This, by the way, you see all right here we got it. So this is supposedly I don't have the audio clip, but. 00:36:35 Speaker 5: This is we're watching it. 00:36:37 Speaker 4: Uh 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 A c l U says yes. So Alio says, what does it mean to be a man or a woman, a boy or a girl? A CLU says, we do not have a definition for the court. 00:36:55 Speaker 3: 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 he just stuck on this question again and again and again because he knew he knew it fried a liberal. 00:37:06 Speaker 4: It just think it actually short circuits a lot of their imagine if they just had to go Imagine if they tried to run past Alito with a well, it's if you define as a woman, then you're a woman. 00:37:17 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:37:17 Speaker 3: Well, I'm feeling very negative about the Supreme Court currently because I'm expecting them to come down against Trump's tariffs. And then we have Senator Mark Wayne Mullen saying some not nice things about Neil Gorsicch Justice Gorsicch, and then you've got you know, Amy Cony Barrett is basically saying similar is 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 is it's not a good start. It's not a good start that they're actually misrepresenting the sex. 00:37:49 Speaker 5: Of the the the children. 00:37:51 Speaker 4: It's interesting that Kavanaugh does seem the most on our side because Kavanaugh was annoying in that I can't remember the name of it, but the gay rights case that was during the Trump first admins. 00:38:02 Speaker 5: Oh uh, Burgerfel. 00:38:04 Speaker 4: It wasn't that. It was well so now that I think about, I actually think he ruled our way. But he did right. It was like an annoying thing where it was when they ruled that like gender identity was a protected class, I thought, right well, and then in the 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. 00:38:21 Speaker 3: I have a theory on Kavanaugh that he got he got red pilled during the. 00:38:24 Speaker 4: Com People have speculated on that. 00:38:26 Speaker 5: I don't think. 00:38:28 Speaker 4: I truthfully, I don't think his record bears that out because he's been lived on stuff. 00:38:33 Speaker 5: He's been more good than bad overall. 00:38:35 Speaker 4: 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 he's basically gone. 00:38:44 Speaker 5: The problem with the Supreme. 00:38:45 Speaker 3: 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 alito, they're not a here we go right behind your head, right here, Clarence Thomas favorite Supreme fame. 00:39:02 Speaker 4: It's worth noting, Yeah, like, probably you know the best. The two best Supreme Court justices we have were picked by two bushes. 00:39:09 Speaker 5: Well and they're a little older now. 00:39:13 Speaker 4: 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 Alito and Thomas, they both kind 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 at numbered, 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 it's one, you know, one vote margin, then they couldn. 00:39:59 Speaker 3: See seventy seven, Yeah, seventy seven years old, born in nineteen forty eight, and he's he is an amazing He's an incredible Alito is amazing. 00:40:08 Speaker 5: What's Alito's age? 00:40:09 Speaker 4: I don't think he's that muchy He's certainly not youth. 00:40:12 Speaker 3: I think he's as well we'll find out. I'm looking it up right now, seventy five years old. He be born in nineteen fifty, so they're both. Let's let's play a clip here from Alito questioning this. Kathleen Martinetti, the attorney arguing before the Supreme Court case, I think on behalf of trans sports rights or whatever. 00:40:32 Speaker 5: Three zero nine. 00:40:33 Speaker 9: Well, that has a boys, let's say, track team and a girls track team. A student who has the genes and the reproductive system of a male and had those at birth, and he's never taken puberty blockers, never taken a female hormones, never had any gender altering or affirming surgery, says nevertheless, I am a woman. That's who I am. Can the school say no, you cannot participate on the girls team? 00:41:16 Speaker 4: Yes, they can, but. 00:41:17 Speaker 9: That person is that person not a woman in your understanding. If the person says I sincerely believe I a woman, I am in fact woman, I think that person not a woman. 00:41:28 Speaker 2: I would respect their self identity, and addressing the person. 00:41:33 Speaker 3: Self identity, I would respect their pronouns. 00:41:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's the big picture thing is is neither of them They're not imminently at death's door. No, but and we have had justices who made it two ninety I believe Stevens did, and he only he lived a long time after he retired too. 00:41:50 Speaker 5: Well, you got the Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 00:41:52 Speaker 4: 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. 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 We had suitor who was picked by a 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 conservatives was, oh, we need to overturn Roey Wade, for example. We now have that we need to be thinking about what are the other 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 white, anti male discrimination, stuff, really enforced 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 back room dealing stuff, and it's very interesting to. 00:43:10 Speaker 5: Talk to them. Yeah, you have a lot of connections within within this area. 00:43:16 Speaker 3: 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, 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 justice. And there's already names being 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 pick. But it's very possible that Trump will have another pick or potentially two, and. 00:43:48 Speaker 4: We might have a majority Trump chosen Supreme Court, and it would be a huge miss if that's not an amazing Supreme Court. 00:43:54 Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that don't want it to just go through the Federalist Society again. 00:43:58 Speaker 5: So that's a whole can of worms for another day. 00:44:06 Speaker 7: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com.
