Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Okay, everybody, I am back in Phoenix, Arizona, after being on a special commissioned project out east. We'll be going back and forth. We'll be spending a lot more time than I would like in D.C., but duty calls, everybody. It is the price of victory, as they call it. Mitt Romney famously said when he was running for president, when he went back to Michigan, he said, I love Michigan. It feels like home. The trees are the right height. Very similar being here in the studio. The chair is perfect. The audio is tuned correctly.
Great to see the whole tech team here. And the coffee just tastes perfectly. We have AmericaFest coming tomorrow, AmFest.com. We're going to get all into the CR stuff. Don't worry. Continuing resolution, which is just a huge disappointment. But go to AmFest.com. That's A-M-F-E-S-T.com. President Donald Trump is the keynote. Get your tickets right now. Tickets are basically running out. So if you want to attend, look at the speaker lineup that we have for you guys. We got Glenn Beck, Steve Bannon. I can't even see all the faces there. I have to, like, zoom in. The biggest speakers in the entire movement will be there, amfest.com, A-M-F-E-S-T.com. That is amfest.com. America Fest starts at the Phoenix Convention Center tomorrow, amfest.com.
Okay, so what is a continuing resolution? We are now on the 35th CR, or continuing resolution. Let's educate you first, all of us together, on what a CR is. So a CR and the primary purpose of a CR is to try to prevent a government shutdown by keeping the government running at current funding levels until new budget agreements are reached. So here's how it works. It's about a four step process. It's usually a short-term funding measure. A CR provides, typically, funding at same or about levels as the previous fiscal year. This allows government operations to continue without any interruption, even though the formal appropriations process has not been completed. The duration of a CR usually lasts from either a couple days to several months.
depending on how long Congress needs to finalize the appropriations bills or reach a broader budget agreement. Now, let me pause. We have not gone back to regular established budget order in 35 CRs. It has now been 35 CRs over and over and over again. That phrase, kicking the can down the road, is summarized within the idea of ACR. As the name suggests, it's just a resolution to continue business as usual. No changes, no cuts, no appropriations, just keep things going without interruption. Now, there's the lack of a lot of policy changes as well. In general, a CR only addresses funding and does not include any significant policy changes.
