I hope you had a 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.640 nice Memorial Day weekend. We are back. This is the 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.280 Charlie Kirk Show. It is May twenty sixth I had 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.960 a great Memorial Day week and Blake had a great Momoris. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.800 It was awesome. Although if you're watching live, I'm wearing 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.480 a hat because I went to Monument Valley and got 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.080 scorched across the entire top of. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.639 Mine, which is amazing. Actually, Monument Valley is a total 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.679 treasure in this country, up near the Four Corners area, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.480 very remote, but you gotta wear that five hour drive. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.760 We got to get right into it here because it's 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.960 a huge day. The grassroots is rising up, the base 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.640 is rising up in Texas, and it is the last 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.240 day to vote in the runoff between Attorney General Ken 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:05.360 Paxton and incumbent Establishment John Cornyn. And here to help 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.400 us out is Ken Paxson himself, mister Attorney General. Welcome 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.320 back to the show, sir. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.920 Hey, so good to be back on a very important 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.079 day for Texas and I think for the entire nation 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.200 to send the right message for Washington, which is, hey, 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.600 we're done with the establishment. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.040 Telling us that we're gonna keep a guy. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.160 That doesn't do the things that Texans care about and 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.960 does exactly what Washington wants them to do. 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.079 Yeah, exactly, so exactly, sir. So first of all, let's 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.079 get into the mechanics. Okay, today is the last day 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.280 to vote. What are their action steps? You know you 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.680 are turning point action endorsed, your president Trump endorsed. You 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.560 are the movement conservative in the race. You are the 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.280 base and the grassroots conservative. You're the fighter. Where do 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.320 people listening right now in the state of Texas? What 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.600 are their marching orders? 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.560 Very simple? We have till seven o'clock today. I wouldn't 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.280 push it till the end because the line will be longer. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.000 At the end of the day. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.360 It's, you know, just after eleven o'clock in Texas, so 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.280 you have what eight hours to go vote. I would 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.400 really encourage people to get out vote today. Take a friend, 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.320 take a family member, call a couple of friends, because 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.520 voter turnout for a runoff is going to be relatively low. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.000 I think for the primary round ten or twelve percent. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.359 For the runoff, it's probably eighty five or six percent, 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.840 maybe seven. So your vote is leveraged twenty or twenty 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.120 five times. If you're voting and if you're bringing friends, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.200 we're going to win the selection. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.960 That that's a really important point. So turnout is going 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.960 to be on the lower side. That's just what happens here, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.280 which makes you and this audience, especially if you're in 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.680 Texas right now, have an outsized impact. Okay, so you 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.960 need to get up, make a plan, go vote today. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.520 We need to absolutely, once and for all, put an 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:52.560 end to the establishments hostile takeover of the base and 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.480 of Texas. I mean, this is let's just give the 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.840 audience a little bit of an understanding here, mister General, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.480 how much money has been spent against you at this 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.680 point and who's interests are vested in? 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.280 Senator Cornyn, this is almost This is a very high 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.520 percentage of money. It's probably close to one hundred and 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.080 fifty million at this point. We won't really know until 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.840 it sells out, but it was about one hundred million 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.800 during the original primary. In the last three months, they're 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.200 probably in the forty to fifty range. So lots of 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.200 money coming from d C for the most part, and 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.640 the idea that they're used to being successful and if 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.359 you look at the last forty or fifty years. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.239 Other than Bill Cassidy, there's. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.400 Only been two other incumbents that I know that have 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.240 lost from the US Senate during the prime of it 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.599 was Richard Luger in twenty twelve because it was a 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.760 small state and it was self funder who beat in 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.240 Richard Murdoch. And then Mike Lee in a convention state 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.000 U talk where money didn't matter, he was able to win. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.080 So it's been very unusual because there's so much money 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.680 coming in and they try to convince you from DC 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.239 that your guy is just what you want. John Cornyn 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.600 loves Donald Trump. John Corn's for the border wall, John 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:00.760 the guy that he's running it. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:01.440 This is terrible. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:02.719 This is what they do with their one hundred fifty 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.000 million and voters go, well, you know, maybe this is 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.359 all true and that isn't going to. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:07.040 Work this time. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.000 Yeah. Well listen, he's been out all over Fox News 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.920 this morning. I saw you were on Fox as well. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.359 This is not a you know, but candidly, that's one 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.040 of the few places that'll have him right now. And 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.520 by the way, we do Fox and there's nothing there. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.359 I'm just saying, this is one of the few places 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.960 that'll hear him out right now because base conservative movement 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.600 shows like ours, like war Room, It's not gonna happen here. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.120 Check this out. This is him on Fox smearing you 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.200 and saying that he can help the president. This is 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.719 his final message to the voters. It's not twenty three. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.640 I know the president cares a lot about the congressional 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.039 races that are right below the Senate race. And I 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.840 won by ten points in twenty twenty, so I think 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.760 I could be the most help to the President and 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.120 his agenda in the last two years of his term 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.240 of office and all the down ballot races, and Ken 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.560 Paxton will be in albatross, could well lose, but even 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.919 if he doesn't lose, he will win by such a 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.919 razors thin margin that it's likely to have a negative 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.120 drag on the down ballot races in Texas. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.479 So this is his new talking point today, sir, that 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.800 you are in albatross. Your response, do. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:17.960 You know who he said that about? 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.640 He said that about Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, said 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.960 Donald Trump is an albatross around the Republican's deck. So 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.559 this is a talking point that he's been using against 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.120 Donald Trump, and now he's pulled it out for the 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:30.720 race against me. 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.320 And by the way, he didn't tell you that I. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.520 Won my last race by about ten points. And so 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.960 what he's talking about is he's got this narrative going 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.480 because he knows he doesn't have anything good to present 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.560 to the voters. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.200 And so he says, look, I didn't do anything in 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.279 my forty two years in office. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.280 I'm an accomplished one good thing, and no one's ever 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.320 been able to tell me, by the way, in this entire. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.560 Campaign, the one good thing he did. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.680 And I've been asking that question since I got in 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.200 the race fourteen months ago, and now they and I've 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.520 asked it at every meeting, one person thousand what And 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.800 so he doesn't have a good, good talking point, So 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.720 what does he do? He says, Look, I didn't do 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.560 I didn't have to say it this way, but I 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.600 didn't do anything good for the voters. I don't take 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.440 care of him. I vote against him a lot, I 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.880 said with Joe Biden a lot. I'm not for President Trump, 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.480 but I can win the election. Vote for me, even 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.840 though it's not true, it's not any different than me 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.480 running that the numbers don't indicate that he'll do any better. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.600 Matter of fact, some pulls out me doing better than him. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.760 So this is just a made up talking point, and 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.680 that's part of how he's used his money to try 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.000 to convince voters that of something that's not true. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.080 This is a ken. I was looking up here since 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.840 he said he said the same thing in twenty sixteen. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.280 I thought, oh, let's check that if that was a paraphrase. No, literally, verbatim. 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.240 This is CNN. In February twenty sixteen, Majority with John 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.360 Cornyn raised serious concerns about Donald Trump's surging presidential bid. Quote, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.080 we can't have a nominee be in albatross around the 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.520 down ballot races, Cornyn told CNN when asked if he 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.960 had concerns, that is a concern of mine. Unquote. That 0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:58.720 is remarkable. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.680 That is a and totally was he was John. It 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.360 was John Forrren right about that. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.360 I mean, look, he he didn't come back and admit 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.960 that he was completely wrong on Donald Trump. As a 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.280 matter of fact, he doubled down in twenty twenty four 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.400 and said, guess what President Trump's. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.680 Day is over. His day is over, and I'm we. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.360 Need another nominee that can that can leave the party 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:22.680 and do better in the general election. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:23.400 Yeah. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.360 Listen, he didn't he didn't use the Alba Truss word, 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.720 but he said his day is done. And what I'm 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.960 saying today is no, John, President Trump's day is not done. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:33.160 Your day is done. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.120 Yeah, it's it's obscene too. I mean, he's he's been 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.400 weak on immigration, he's been weak on MAGA America. First, 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.320 he's a total established mccrony. One hundred and fifty million 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.680 dollars poured into this race that should have been used 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.080 on other races. Targeting you, smearing you is absolute proof 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.760 in the putting that we need to get these guys 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.040 out of DC once and for all. They are not 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.240 the right fit for Texas. John Corny's got to go. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.680 This is not in the bag though. People need to 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.680 show up today. Go to and you you were tweeting 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.600 this at this link.

The one 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.760 hundred and fifty million dollars they pumped into this race 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.440 that should have been spent in North Carolina, Georgia, should 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.560 have been spent in Michigan. Instead, they're trying to take 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.920 out a good man that the grassroots loves, the base loves. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.400 So go to we gotta have your back, we gotta 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.920 get a let's let's let's go big.

I believe that tech since can do this. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.600 God bless you, sir. We got your back one hundred 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.400 percent to President Trump indoors Turning Point Action endorsed, and 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.520 you know, I think more importantly than anything, Grassroots endorsed. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.720 They got your back. You got to show up at 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.280 the polls. It's a low turnout race. Your vote means 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.120 more now than it ever has in Texas. So if 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.560 you're listening in Texas, get out, make a plan, and 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.520 bring your friends with them. Thank you, sir, We'll talk 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.719 to you soon on the other side of hopefully a 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:32.480 Victoria's day in Texas. How much are life, liberty in 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.880 the pursuit of happiness worth to you? This is the 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.360 question America's founders had to answer. You See, for more 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.440 than one hundred and fifty years, America's thirteen colonies governed 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.800 themselves until Britain declared they had no right to self rule. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.600 So ordinary people had to make extraordinary choices and risk 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.360 their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to fight 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.520 for independence, and against all odds they won, and in 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.400 victory they built one of the most stable and lasting 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.680 republics in human history. Now experience the American solution like 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.880 never before thanks to our friends at Hillsdale College. Revolutionary America, 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.800 a new documentary from Hillsdale Studios and narrated by Tom Selleck, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.520 brings the founding of our nation to life through the 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.600 voices of those who lived, alongside insights from leading scholars 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.360 and commentator.

So it's 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.600 a huge day in many respects. We just spoke with 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.800 Attorney General Kem Pax in the State of Texas, who 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:26.080 is He's taken down a goliath. This is a David 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:31.000 versus Goliad one hundred and fifty million bucks spent on 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.560 that primary, not even to beat a Democrat, to beat 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.200 a Republican, a good Republican who has President Trump's endorsement, 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.079 who has turningboyne actions endorsement. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.720 You just think about the conversations they might have after this, 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.439 because they probably told some people, you know, you're expected 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.080 to pony up for this sure thing one percent, and 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.720 it's going to be a very awkward phone call. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:50.719 Yeah the next day. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.600 I mean, so you set one hundred and fifty million 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.160 on fire for a primary that you lost. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:56.520 Just think about what we could have done with that. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.720 But this is such an important moment in our politics 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.480 because these guys keep trying to claw their way back in. Okay, 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.079 the Neo khn wing of the party is gone and 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.679 needs to be in the dustbin of history. This this 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.439 is a party we are. President Trump was elected on peace. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.160 That's why we got to get peace and Iran. We 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.720 gotta get this war, this conflict settled. He was he 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.560 was elected on the border. John Cornan's week on that 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.000 on that topic extraordinarily, So he's a he's a total softy. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.240 Everything in John Cornan's being has been despite his voters. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.079 He doesn't care about what real Texans want, real base conservatives, 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.600 grassroots conservatives wants, and he's doing the same old tired 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.599 line from the establishment that are always unelectable. He's a 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.520 all albatrosse. No, you know who the albatross is. It's 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.520 John Cornyan. In a mid term election, it's a base 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.320 turnout election. That means, if you get rid of the 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.959 guy that gives the base enthusiasm they actually want to 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.640 get behind, you're gonna be in albatross to the rest 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.000 of the down ballot elections. And that's that's absolutely true. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:05.920 So he's got it completely inverted. Meanwhile, this weekend, President 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:10.320 Trump's skipping Don Junior's wedding, where everybody's going back to DC. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.959 We're all speculating that there's going to be a more 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.600 kinetic warfare in Iran, that the war was going to 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.800 restart in a really aggressive way, more fighting. It was 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.120 terrified of it. Actually, we were debating We're going to 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.320 come in on a Memorial Day weekend because a new 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:30.640 strike had been set up. And no, ultimately that's not 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.440 what happened. We got news instead that there was a 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.800 pending potential peace deal being negotiated and that it was serious. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.680 Now I was able to be a part of a 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.480 on background call with a bunch of different people in 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.040 the media. Wasn't like special or something, but I was 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.520 grateful to be invited to it and it was really telling. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.920 So let me explain what I learned. I learned that 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.000 this expression no dust, no dollars. Okay, what does that mean? 0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.400 It means a step by step process where if iron 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.920 makes good on something, then there will be a carrot 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.160 as opposed to a stick and if they restart. We 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.400 saw this weekend that we did strike some of these 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.560 small boats trying to lay minds in the strait. Now, 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.040 what you need to understand is that we have a 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:21.720 growing appreciation, understanding, confidence in the leadership structure that has 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.000 emerged after our strikes and taking the head of the 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.480 snake operations that happened in Iran. So we know kind 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.800 of more now than we did before about who we're 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.840 dealing with, who the hardliners are, who the moderates are, 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.680 and what we're trying to do is empower the moderates 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.720 over the hard line. That war has not been won internally, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.120 but it does appear that the moderates are ascended. So 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.360 that's one thing you need to keep in mind here. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.280 But something like the straight of Hormon's mind land, that 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.240 could be hardliners that still have power, still have some 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.400 authority over some soldiers, dispatching them and going rogue and 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.120 intentionally trying to blow up a peace deal. We have 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.600 our own hardliners in America that are trying to blow 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.840 up the peace. And that's the key here, Blake. We 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.160 need to empower and celebrate people that are actually trying 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.520 to drive peace. Because listen, if you get the Straight 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.560 open and gas prices go below three, if you can 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.840 get the nuclear dust, then we've accomplished our missions that 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.960 we set up. And again it's a there's no pal 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.320 to cash. They wanted to make that extremely clear. This 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.360 is not Obama two point zero. This is we will 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.640 give you a modicum of sanctions relief if you make 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.720 good on allowing us to destroy the nuclear materials. We 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.320 will give you more if you open the Straight and 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.880 keep it open. And so the more good faith that 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.080 you operate in around, the more relief you will get 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.560 on the sanctions. This would be a slam dunk, not 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.480 only for President Trump, but it would be a slam 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:49.600 dunk for the country and looking towards the midterms, peace 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:50.400 will win. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.600 I think it would. I think we've seen there's been 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.200 a lot of controversy over this. There's been a lot 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.840 of anger over this. I think I go back to 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.560 you know, I go back to what I said when 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.840 this first broke out. I was talking about how Charlie 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.720 felt about these things. And I think the best way 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.160 you can sell this to the public is if this 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.399 is the last war we have to fight in the 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.000 Middle East, if we can say we can come home, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.680 We're like, we don't have this Iran thing hanging over 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.280 our heads forever. We don't need to have tens of 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.600 thousands of US troops hanging around in the Middle East 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.439 all the time, because this could blow up at any point. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.560 If President Trump is able to get a deal where 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.440 he can say this looks like a durable, long term piece. 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.760 You know, we can have a few jets there, but 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.200 we don't need this huge outlays. We don't need to 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.920 be spending billions and billions of dollars every time some 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.720 radical decides to go off and start a fuss there. 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:47.960 I think he can present that as a long term 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.560 win to the American people and then that can even 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.119 hopefully win over the people who feel betrayed by the 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:54.240 war breaking out in the first place. 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:55.800 Yeah, well, and that's the thing. I mean, listen, if 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.639 you can get that nuclear material actually off the table, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.840 you can reopen the straight I mean, those are our 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:07.320 actual core objectives here. We did not set out necessarily 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.480 to get regime change. I think that was a mistake 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.719 by some of the hardliners on our side thinking that 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.919 that was gonna be automatic. Okay, we knew that it 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.720 wasn't going to be automatic. That regime is deeply entrenched. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.960 But if you can empower the moderates, if you can 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.440 get the nuclear material, and this was the big breakthrough. 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.080 This is why this big breakthrough is for the first 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:32.720 time Iranian officials are seriously talking in depth about how 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.119 to get that out of their country. Whether it's China 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.680 that helps, whether it's America, whether it's some third party, 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.920 they're actually understand that they need to give on that 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.240 crucial topic. And that's the breakthrough. If it comes true, 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:49.399 we'll be very happy. If you're about to turn sixty 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:53.040 five and you're already on Medicare, this message is for you. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.320 Charlie cared about America Seniors. He was outraged that so 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.080 many were paying too much for their Medicare coverage and 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.040 getting less than they deserved in return. That's why he 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.840 partnered with Chapter, and we're still partnered with Chapter. Chapters 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.000 licensed advisors search every Medicare plan to find what's actually 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.239 best for you. The call is one hundred percent for you, 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.040 no pressure, just honest help. Seniors save an average of 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.240 eleven hundred dollars a year. With Chapter, they've already helped 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.920 hundreds of our listeners enroll in better plans, and they 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.160 can help you too. So if you're nearing sixty five 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.359 or already on Medicare, make the call today now pound 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.560 two fifty, pound two fifty and say Charlie Kirk to 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.040 make sure you're in the best available plan. That's pound 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.240 two fifty and say Charlie Kirk. Or go to ask 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:45.720 Chapter dot org slash Kirk. All right, without further ado, 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.760 we're gonna bring in the great Senator Bernie Murreno. Uh, senator, 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.679
