1
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts. Now, let's act like an

2
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: opposition party. Yeah, an opposition party. We have no power.

3
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 2: Do you understand that?

4
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: None? None.

5
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: We have no legislative power, with executive power, we.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Have no judicial power.

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 4: So when you're out of power, you.

8
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Are an opposition party.

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: And go and tell all the people that are for

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: sending you and asking you for money, justify what you did,

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: Justify what you did wrong, and.

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Tell us what you're going to do different, because what

13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: you've done a work, all right, get your head around that.

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: In all of the Washington based Democrats, barton around going

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: to wine and cheese parties and talking about how the

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: Shaga mission guys got to get you taught to Washington

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: and go work on a twenty twenty six campaign in

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: Duke Pennant to make up for your god damn power

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: of since Stu Piddick.

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 5: President de Lock Donald Trump has picked former Arkansas Governor

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: Mike Huckaby to be the next US Ambassador to Israel.

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 5: In this statement, Trump said, quote, Mike has been a

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 5: great public servant, governor and leader in faith for many years.

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: He loves Israel and the people of Israel, and likewise

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 5: the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 5: to bring about peace in the Middle East.

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 6: You want to have confidence in the current leadership of

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 6: the Pentagon and the way the defense situation has been

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 6: offering for the last several years. I mean from the

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: Afghanistan pullout, which was an extreme debuckle for which no

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 6: one was held accountable. We've had spy balloons flying over

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 6: the United States.

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: We built a three.

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 6: Hundred million dollars year as a public relations stunt which

35
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 6: wound up killing an American service member.

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: I'd say I've had just about enough of.

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 6: The so called insiders running a defense department.

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: I think you ought to give pH.

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 6: So That the chance, because he's got two daughters. All

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 6: the criticism of him is that he's not the expected

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 6: Washington pick. And I'm just saying that the American people

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 6: just voted against the expected Washington pick. So he's got

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 6: twenty years in service Afghanistan, Iraq, Tubron Star, Princeton, Harvard. Yeah,

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 6: he's on TV, but so are the rest of us.

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 6: By the way, I think you.

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 7: Are listening to a shave that's really interesting because you

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 7: highlighted a bunch of things that the civilian leadership of

48
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 7: the country decided on In the military, their job was

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 7: just to execute.

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: They couted to go. I'm just saying, I'm decided to go.

51
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 7: In terms of the decision making, you're assigning decision making

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 7: responsibility to the military over things that civilians are his

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 7: own time.

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: So you make a good point.

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 6: The civilian leadership made decisions and then the people they

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 6: put in charge of the Pentagon carried it out, and

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 6: it was all pretty much a disaster. So while now

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 6: we have a new president who I think got elected

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 6: in part because of some of those disasters, and he's

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 6: going to put in some of the non insiders in

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 6: charge of not just this agency, but a bunch of them. Now, look,

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 6: you know, he've got to perform. They got up perform.

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 6: I mean, we get fifty three US sentators and the

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 6: Republicans and Pete Hegg said he's an American hero. The

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 6: man won Key bron Stars for his service and he's

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 6: been a champion for veterans.

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 4: I don't.

68
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 6: I mean, he's going to have to go up there,

69
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 6: just like everybody else, improve his knowledge of how to

70
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 6: do this job. He's not immune from that. But we

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: ought to give this man a chance in my opinion.

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 8: And this pick comes, and we should note it comes

73
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 8: just hours after an important reporting from the Wall Street

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 8: Journal that says the Trump transition team is considering a

75
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 8: draft executive order to establish a Warrior Board of their words,

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 8: to have retired senior military personnel with the power to

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 8: review three and four star officers and recommend that they

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 8: be deemed unfit for leadership, mostly over their support for

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 8: DEI in wild calls. Per this reporting, this would allow

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 8: Trump who can fire in when he wants as commander

81
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 8: in chief, but this allows him this advisory board to

82
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 8: give him cover to do so official.

83
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: We make senior levels of the Pentagon.

84
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 8: And Jackie Pete Heeks's deployment would be a part of

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 8: that if he does.

86
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Indeed lead the DoD.

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: You know, the Pentagon is a massive bureaucracy.

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 9: I served four terms of the Armed Services Committee, and

89
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 9: I can tell you that even the most experienced general

90
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 9: Admiral CEO that went into the Pentagon got spun around

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 9: in circles. It's a lot easier to say what you're

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 9: going to do on a podcast than it is when

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 9: you're actually over at the Pentagon. And people that think

94
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 9: that generals and admirals that have given their.

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: Entire life to this country are going to just roll over.

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Is a serious misreading of the Pentagon. But we'll see

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: what happens. Charlie Kirk.

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 6: Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information

99
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 6: coming from every angle.

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: But the will to the sea, I fear not.

101
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 10: He found the place for truth, the voice a generation

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 10: that still has the will to believe in the greatest

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 10: country in the history of the world.

104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot, here

105
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: we go.

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 11: Okay, everybody, radio stations across the country on Real America's Voice.

107
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: Honored to be with you.

108
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 11: As always, we are broadcasting live from.

109
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: Sunny Palm Beach.

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 11: We have breaking news right now, a lot of breaking

111
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 11: news happening on this program. We have a new Senate

112
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 11: majority leader, Senator John Thune from South Dakota. Now, this

113
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 11: audience did not want Senator Thune. We were enthusiastically behind

114
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 11: Senator Rick Scott, and the vote totals went like this.

115
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 11: In the first volley of votes, Senator John Thune did

116
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 11: not get a majority.

117
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: He received a play.

118
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 11: Then after the second round of votes, he is sentate.

119
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 11: Majority of the first round of votes was like this,

120
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 11: twenty three for John Thune, fifteen for mister Cornyn, and

121
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 11: then thirteen for Rick Scott. Twenty seven in order to pass.

122
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 11: A second round of voting occurred, and John Thune is

123
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 11: now Senate majority leader, twenty nine votes to twenty four

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 11: votes down. Mind, that is one of the closer votes

125
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 11: that we have seen in quite some time.

126
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: Now.

127
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 11: Look, I'm not going to spend our time attacking John Thune.

128
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 11: He's in charge. What I will say is this is

129
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 11: John Thune has a short window to show us who

130
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 11: he is, to show us what he's made of. I'm

131
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 11: willing to say, Okay, fine, everyone says that you're a Ryano,

132
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 11: everyone says that you're a gutless wonder. Maybe you are,

133
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 11: maybe you aren't. You have a short window to show

134
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 11: us that you will support President Trump, Phil's cabinet, confirm

135
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 11: his judges, passes agenda dough recess appointments, keep the Senate

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 11: operational for twenty four hours. If Chuck Grassley has to

137
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 11: go take a nap, that's fine. We're not gonna put

138
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 11: up with this. Senate goes into the Senate goes into

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 11: nap time for a couple of days. Look, our movement

140
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 11: is a sendant and they know this. This is a

141
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 11: very very tight Senate majority election, very very tight. Our

142
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 11: movement is growing, it is powerful.

143
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: But allow me to.

144
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 11: Emphasize one of the most disturbing elements of this Senate

145
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 11: leadership election.

146
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: We don't know how people voted.

147
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 11: Of all the votes that they take, this is one

148
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 11: of the most important votes that they take. Since Republicans

149
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 11: vote with the party ninety eight percent of the time,

150
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 11: what matters is who are they actually putting in charge

151
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 11: of the United States Senate and the majority leader decides that.

152
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: But their votes are private.

153
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 11: We don't actually know who voted for John Thun. We

154
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 11: can guess, we can piece it together. We know some

155
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 11: of his allies. I like Mark Wayne Mullen. I think

156
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 11: he's a good man from Oklahoma. We've got to know

157
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 11: each other. Don't agree on a lot of stuff, but

158
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 11: he's willing to dialogue. He's behind John Thune. Okay, I

159
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 11: know some people are behind John Cornyn. But why the

160
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 11: secret ballot? And it's very clear they do a secret

161
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 11: ballot because they're terrified of you. John fun is now

162
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 11: Senate Majority leader. If he does not support President Trump

163
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 11: in these next thirty to forty five days to fill

164
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 11: President Trump's cabinet.

165
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: We will remove him.

166
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 11: If he does support President Trump will support him. But

167
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 11: Thune won in the darkness. Thune did not win when

168
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 11: people had to voice their support for John Thune. The

169
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 11: only way that they are able to keep business as

170
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 11: usual in the Senate is to not have you see

171
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 11: who's actually supporting business as usual in the Senate. And

172
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 11: in some ways that should give you some hope, and

173
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 11: that's some optimism, that should give you some confidence and encouragement.

174
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: In some ways that's actually a very good.

175
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 11: Thing, because they're terrified of you because you care, and

176
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 11: the American people have awoken from their slumber. That's not

177
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 11: the result that any of us wanted, but it was

178
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 11: the high probability result. Some people said, oh, Charlie Rick

179
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 11: Scott's gonna win no matter what I said. I don't

180
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 11: think you realize how much the US Senate is in

181
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 11: contradiction to the needs, wants, and interests of the American people.

182
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 11: But they're increasingly getting nervous that they might face primary challenges.

183
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 11: The Senate is not an insular good old boy club.

184
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 11: It should be a representative of the citizens. However, it

185
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 11: does operate as a country club. Secret ballots, work a

186
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 11: couple hours a day, kind of go work out in

187
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,479
Speaker 11: the gym, feel as if you're very important, lunch with lobbyists,

188
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 11: foreign trips, you feel as if you're the really important person.

189
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 11: And we rose up in record numbers this election to

190
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 11: try to prevent this exact thing. The American people think about.

191
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 11: The American people voted for just a week ago, American

192
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 11: people voted for transparency, accountability, integrity, honesty. The American people

193
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 11: voted against everything that we've just seen through the.

194
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: United States Senate. And I'm not going to make this

195
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: the John Thune bashing hour. I am willing.

196
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 11: I'm very cynical, and I'm very skeptical because if I

197
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 11: was a betting man, I would say, this guy's not

198
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 11: going to deliver.

199
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: But prove me wrong, John Thune, prove me wrong.

200
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 11: I'd be the first one to say on the Charlie

201
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 11: Kirk Show, this guy is the best Senate majority of

202
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 11: leader in a generation. I want you to prove this

203
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 11: entire audience wrong. And I'd be the first one to do.

204
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 11: You know what, You've been terrific. We call balls and

205
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 11: strikes here, we call it as we see it. What

206
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 11: do I think is going to happen. I think that

207
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 11: you are going to continue in the tradition of McConnell.

208
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: But it's a blank slate.

209
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 11: Show us that you are not that, show us that

210
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 11: you are willing to listen to your voters. And yes,

211
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 11: you are up in twenty twenty eight. I sure wish

212
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 11: it was twenty twenty six, but twenty twenty eight will

213
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 11: be here. That cycle will happen very very soon. Blank

214
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 11: is from South Dakota. He could be the chairman of

215
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 11: the South Dakota Pressure Project. And by the way, that

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 11: is one of the reasons why they wanted to get

217
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 11: behind John Thun. They're so smart, they're so clever. That's

218
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 11: not the right word clever. And Aristotle said in one

219
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 11: of his books, The Ethics, that cleverness without ethics is

220
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 11: one of the.

221
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: Most dangerous combinations. And boy is that correct.

222
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 11: When you are clever, you're able to navigate and you're

223
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 11: able to snake.

224
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: Through the institutions.

225
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 11: Is so similar to why they chose mister Langford to

226
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 11: do the border bill because he is far away from

227
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 11: a primary challenge. He is distant from the accountability the

228
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 11: American people, and so for John Fune, they say, Okay,

229
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 11: even if he gets to be really upset, if Charlie

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 11: Kirk and Tucker Carlson and the whole gang want a primary,

231
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 11: mister Thune, he is. He is detached from the accountability.

232
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 11: Do not underestimate that is one of the reasons why

233
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 11: some of these senators got behind mister Thune.

234
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: I've never met John fun I've never talked to him.

235
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 11: He said some very nasty things about President Trump before

236
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 11: saying he should withdrawal from the race, saying you wish

237
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 11: other people, but look, you have to.

238
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: Have short memories in politics.

239
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 4: You have to.

240
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 11: You got to wipe it clean. Okay, new day, new mandate.

241
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 11: So what are you gonna do, mister Thune. And I'm

242
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 11: very curious. I want to see the statement. And by

243
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 11: the way, Senator Fun, you're always welcome on this program

244
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 11: if you want to be in front of a big audience.

245
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 11: This is where the stuff really happens anymore. It's no

246
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 11: longer just on the cable news chatterbox where you go

247
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 11: on and you get a couple of softball question about

248
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 11: ho much money you're sending you. We don't do that

249
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 11: around here. We're gonna get down to the essence of

250
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 11: the matter. And I understand you're not a movement conservative,

251
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 11: but we got some questions. Are you going to recess appointments?

252
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 11: Are you willing to support the president and his agenda?

253
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 11: Can we get a border bill?

254
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Will you.

255
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: Pass a bill to.

256
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 11: Allow for Department hallland Security to do their job? These

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 11: are all very important questions. Are we gonna have real

258
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 11: spending cuts if Elon Musk and the veak Ramaswami. By

259
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 11: the way, who's in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency?

260
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 11: If they highlight hundreds of billions of dollars of wasteful spending, doge,

261
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 11: are you going to have the wherewithal and the fortitude

262
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 11: as Senate majority leader to capitalize on those cuts? And

263
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 11: understand this, for those of you that might be a

264
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 11: little down, don't get down. We had the most triumphant

265
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 11: win last week. I'm not gonna let you get down.

266
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 11: This is just the little annoyance. It's just a little

267
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 11: mosquito bite. That's all that this is. They're not in control.

268
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 11: This fune barely eat this one out. This was a squeaker.

269
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 11: He doesn't have control over the conference. There is going

270
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 11: by the way, our numbers are growing. The thing of

271
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 11: the type of senators that we have there that are

272
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 11: Marco Rubio behind Rick Scott, Ted Cruz got behind Rick Scott,

273
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 11: Marsha Blackburn got behind Rick Scott. We are multiplying. We

274
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 11: have great, great names in the US Senate. Jim Banks,

275
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 11: for example, is going to be a new member, and

276
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 11: he is excellent, maybe one of the best ones we

277
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 11: have out of this entire class. Bernie Moreno is going

278
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 11: to be terrific. I can vouch for that personally. And

279
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 11: it's going to be a process. But right now John

280
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 11: fun is running the US Senate, and if he fails

281
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 11: to deliver, we will replace him, and we'll do it

282
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 11: quicker than Kevin McCarthy because, by the ways, Blake, can

283
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 11: you read Senate rules? I think three senators can force

284
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 11: the leadership vote.

285
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: I think.

286
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 11: The American people are back in charge, and the Senate

287
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 11: doesn't like it.

288
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: They are so terrified of you.

289
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 11: They have to be in their little club without transparent

290
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 11: leadership elections. And I want somebody, anybody, a breathing human being,

291

Speaker 10: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm

310
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 10: Terrence Bates. President Trump is back in the nation's capital

311
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 10: and preparing to retake the White House. He's at sixteen

312
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 10: hundred Pennsylvania Avenue as we speak, meeting with President Biden.

313
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 10: This after touching down at joint Ben's Andrews. Early this morning,

314
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 10: the President elect immediately went to Capitol Hill to meet

315
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 10: with congressional leaders before.

316
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Heading to the White House.

317
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 10: As far as meeting with President Biden, well, it started

318
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 10: on a very cordial note.

319
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 12: Politics is tough, and it's many cases not a very

320
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 12: nice world, but it is a nice world today, and

321
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 12: I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth. It'll

322
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 12: be as smooth as it can get. And I very

323
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 12: much appreciate that.

324
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 11: You.

325
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 10: Forty five and soon to be forty seven's trip to

326
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 10: Washington comes as the US Senate just selected its Senate

327
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 10: majority leader. Senator John throw into South Dakota is the

328
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 10: new leader of the Upper House. He narrowly beat Senator

329
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 10: John Cornyan of Texas by a twenty five to four vote.

330
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 10: Thune will replace longtime GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell.

331
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: You saw the microphone there.

332
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 10: We're expecting Senator Thune to take the microphone and make

333
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 10: an announcement or some sort of statement.

334
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: In short order.

335

Speaker 11: Charlie Kirkshaw. There's so much news here today, but let

355
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 11: me just say, and I'm curious, is it constitutional to

356
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 11: have secret ballots?

357
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: Maybe?

358
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 11: But shouldn't they be subject to freedom of information requests?

359
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 11: Shouldn't they be subject to the America? I mean, I

360
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 11: might be getting cute by half here. Blake says, yes,

361
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 11: it is constitutional. This is a private party action, all right.

362
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 11: The essence of what I'm saying is that it certainly

363
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 11: is not defensible through any sort of standard that we

364
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 11: apply to anything else. You are there as a representative of.

365
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: Voters. Blake says, it's a private party action. Fair enough.

366
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 11: However, I want any senator to come on this program

367
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 11: to tell me why you will not tell your voters

368
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 11: who you voted for. It's because you are terrified of

369
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 11: justifying your vote. If Foon or Cornyn or whoever was

370
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 11: the best option, ever, then you should say that.

371
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: Do you notice one interesting thing.

372
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 11: Almost every single person who voted for Rick Scott told

373
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 11: you they were voting for Rick Scott. We knew that

374
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 11: Rick Scott was coming in with thirteen votes. That was

375
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 11: that interesting.

376
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: We knew who was.

377
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 11: Voting for Rick Scott, but we didn't know who was

378
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 11: voting for Thuon or Cornyn.

379
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: Why.

380
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: Because Rick Scott is a.

381
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 11: Justifiable option in the public eye. Rick Scott is a

382
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 11: defendable position, whereas John Thune, they know people would face

383
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 11: primary challenges.

384
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: State GOP revolts.

385
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 11: No transparency reflects a fear of the people, and it

386
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 11: only furthers this narrative that the American people do not

387
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 11: trust their leaders. Now, in the rules, five senators in

388
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 11: writing can force a party conference, So maybe that's what

389
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 11: can happen here. But again, John Thune's majority leader. We're

390
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 11: gonna have a little bit of a grace period and

391
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 11: then it's game on. If by January thirty first we

392
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 11: do not have a full cabinet, and I know that

393
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 11: is a tall order, then that's gonna be on Thune.

394
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 11: You have to use every you got to go twenty

395
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 11: four hour concurrent nominations. We need to change the Senate

396
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 11: rules and allow you to do more than one nomination

397
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 11: at a time. This archaic way of doing business. Okay,

398
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 11: we're going to do the Attorney General and that's going

399
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 11: to take us a week, week and a half. Then

400
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 11: we're going to do sec def and that's going to

401
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 11: take a week and a half, and then we're going

402
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 11: to do Department of the Interior. You can do concurrent

403
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 11: and rolling nominations because the hearings happen in committee. They

404
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 11: do not happen just with the entire body. This is

405
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 11: why Trump won. What you just saw is the reason

406
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 11: why Donald Trump won. People have lost faith in their government,

407
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 11: and so they said, Donald Trump, you may talk dirty,

408
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 11: but I'm hiring you to go do a dirty job.

409
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 11: Donald Trump, you might talk plainly, but you're a fighter,

410
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 11: and we want trust restored in our government. And I

411
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 11: find it to be reprehensible that these senators ask us

412
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 11: for our vote, and they ask us for our support.

413
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 11: And that's all fine, Okay. I'm sure some of them

414
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 11: are decent people. I know some of them. And yes,

415
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 11: some people were public for John Thun. The point I'm making, though,

416
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 11: is that every person for Rick Scott.

417
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: Was public for Rick Scott.

418
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 11: It is an indefensible position to vote for, vote for

419
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 11: somebody and not tell your voters you're voting for. Can

420
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 11: someone come and tell me the case for John Thune?

421
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 11: I want to hear it. There's the great Jack Pisobic

422
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 11: right there. And some people say, oh, you know, he's

423
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 11: a friend. I went, okay, fine, great, Sure we are

424
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 11: up against a uniparty cartel everybody. And this is why

425
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 11: Trump went. So now pressure is on Fun. Let's see

426
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 11: what you got, man, because if not, you will be

427
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 11: primary and you will be taken out, and it will

428
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 11: be it'll make Eric Canter look like child's play. The

429
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 11: whole new movement is ascendant. We got Elon Musk liberated.

430
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 11: We got Twitter, we got X. Mainstream media is dying.

431
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 11: We got podcasting. We got Megan Kelly, we got Bongino,

432
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 11: we got Shapiro, we got Walsh, we got Candice, we

433
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 11: got Bannon, we got back, we got the whole program

434
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 11: has changed.

435
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: Long done of the.

436
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 11: Days where you can do your little secret ballots, and

437
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 11: so the eyes are on you. And as a certain

438
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 11: newspaper says, democracy dies in darkness, We'll be right back.

439
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 10: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm

440
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 10: Terrence Bates. The US Senate has a brand new leader.

441
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 10: South Dakota Senator John Thune was just voted in as

442
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 10: the Senate majority leader.

443
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: He beat Texas.

444
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 10: Senator John Cornyn by a twenty five to twenty four margin.

445
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 10: There is a podium set up outside the Senate chambers

446
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 10: right now, and we are expecting Fun to make a

447
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 10: statement at any moment.

448
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: This is a live shot.

449
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 10: You can see the reporters huddled around waiting for Senator

450
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 10: thun to make his entrance.

451
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: And then address the media.

452
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 10: Come January, he'll replace outgoing Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

453
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 10: Because Republicans now have the majority in the Senate, Senator

454
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 10: Thune will serve a Senate majority leader in the meantime.

455
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 10: At the moment, the GOP is just two seats shy

456
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 10: of maintaining its majority in the US House. That according

457
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 10: to the Associated Press's latest count, twelve congressional races have

458
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 10: yet to be called. House Republicans have two hundred and

459
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 10: sixteen seats and Democrats have two hundred and seven. Again,

460
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 10: Senator John Thune the new majority leader. We are expecting

461
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 10: that he will make a statement here in short order,

462
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 10: and we'll try to bring you that as soon as

463
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 10: we get it. Meantime, President Trump is back in the

464
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 10: nation's capital and preparing to retake the White House. He's

465
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 10: at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue right now, meeting with President Biden.

466
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 10: As you can see, the President spent time meeting with

467
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 10: congressional leaders earlier this morning before heading to the White House.

468
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 10: His meeting with President Biden well at very least it

469
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 10: started on a very cordial note.

470
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 12: Politics stuff, and it's many cases not a very nice world,

471
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 12: but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate

472
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 12: very much a transition so smooth.

473
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: It'll be as smooth.

474
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 12: As it can get. I very much.

475
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: Appreciate that you.

476
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 10: President Biden's focus for today's meeting is reportedly the ongoing

477
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 10: war between Russia and Ukraine. He'll reportedly lobby President Trump

478
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 10: to continue the current policies relative to the Ukraine and

479
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 10: funding its war effort. New York Judge Van Marsham pushes

480
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 10: back his ruling on President Trump's Manhattan conviction until next week.

481
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 10: Marsham was supposed to hand down his written decision on Tuesday,

482
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 10: but now says he'll make a ruling November nineteenth in

483
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 10: order to allow prosecutors more time to decide how to

484
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 10: proceed in light of President Trump's impending return to the

485
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 10: White House. The prosecutor in the case says his team

486
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 10: needs to consider how to balance the competing interests of

487
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 10: the jury's.

488
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: Vote in the President's that's a good check. If you'll

Speaker 11: thrilled that he is nominated to be ambassador to Israel.

519
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 11: Governor Mike Huckabee, Governor, Congratulations, But first, do you want

520
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 11: to comment on our mutual friend Dennis Prager that we

521
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 11: are in prayer for right now?

522
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 13: Yeah, I certainly do. I heard that he's had a

523
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 13: very serious accident. Dennis Prager is one of the great

524
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 13: minds of our day, un questionably one of the most

525
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 13: important thinkers and articulators of strong conservative movement.

526
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 4: Dennis and I.

527
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 13: Co hosted a trip that took a group of pastors

528
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 13: to Auschwitz and then to London to see the bunkers

529
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 13: of war World War two, and finally to the Reagan

530
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 13: Library because we wanted to help people understand exactly what

531
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 13: happened with particularly John Paul the Second, Margaret Thatcher, and

532
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 13: Ronald Reagan and why that they were so instrumental and

533
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 13: quite frankly, John Paul the Second, maybe more than anyone

534
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 13: in helping to bring about the complete collapse of the

535
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 13: Soviet Union in Eastern Europe communism.

536
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 4: Prager is just brilliant.

537
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 13: He's always on the cutting edge of thinking and speaking.

538
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 13: And so I think I joined with everybody and saying,

539
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 13: let's pray for Dennis Prager because we need him. We

540
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 13: need him as much as we've ever needed him. So

541
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 13: thanks for even bringing that up. And he's a dear

542
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 13: friend of mine. I'm still kind of processing all this.

543
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 13: I've listened to every one of his fireside chats, I've

544
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 13: listened to his two hundred and thirty hour Torah commentary,

545
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 13: verse by verse, and so it's just it's been a

546
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 13: numbing week, Governor, from the historic victory to this, and

547
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 13: it is a segue actually to your announcement. Dennis is

548
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 13: a massive and thoughtful advocate for the State of Israel.

549
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 13: You are now nominated as the US Ambassador to Israel.

550
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 13: And I could tell you right now if Dennis was

551
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 13: on the radio today, he would be cheerleading with pomp

552
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 13: pumps that Governor Mike Kuckabee is the US ambassador to Israel. Governor,

553
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 13: congratulations on that, and tell us the stakes what you

554
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 13: plan to do and fill our audience in Please well, Charlie,

555
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 13: I appreciate it. Let me begin by just saying thank

556
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 13: you to you. I'm convinced without Turning Point USA, I'm

557
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 13: not sure Donald Trump would have won. He certainly would

558
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 13: not have won with the landslide that he did, and

559
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 13: the mandate that he goes in with is without doubt,

560
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 13: largely due to the efforts that Turning Point has done

561
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 13: across the country. So kudos to you, my friend, and

562
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 13: all of the incredible people Turning Point. You guys, on

563
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 13: inauguration Day, January twentieth, you ought to take a deep

564
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 13: ball and just recognize, yes, you did it.

565
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 4: You did it.

566
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 11: Well, it's the lead. I really believe it was the

567
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 11: hand of God. But please continue.

568
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 13: Well it was, but you know, God's hands sometimes need

569
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 13: a little help down here, and he calls on us

570
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 13: to be his hands in his feet, and you guys

571
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 13: have been just that.

572
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this has.

573
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 13: Been a kind of a shocking twenty four hours for me.

574
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 13: And it was almost exactly twenty four hours ago when

575
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 13: President Trump gave me the call, I wasn't expecting it.

576
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 13: It wasn't something I'd been lobbying for. But when he asked,

577
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 13: quite frankly, the one position that the President could have

578
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 13: asked me to do, that I was willing and really

579
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 13: ready to do because of my passion for the state

580
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 13: of Israel, which goes all the way back to nineteen

581
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 13: seventy three. That's when I made my first trip to Israel.

582
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 13: I was still a month shive my eighteenth birthday, and

583
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 13: it was life changing for me. And since that time,

584
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 13: I've been probably one hundred times to Israel. I've taken

585
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 13: tens of thousands of people to visit Israel, gotten to

586
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 13: know most of the government officials there. I've walked from

587
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 13: Dan to Beersheba and have been throughout the country, and

588
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 13: it's a place I just truly love, and I believe

589
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 13: it is a special place because God made it special.

590
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 13: And so, without any apology in saying this, I'm a

591
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 13: simple guy. I believe the scripture Genesis twelve, those who

592
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 13: bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse Israel will

593
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 13: be cursed. I want to be on the blessing side,

594
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 13: not the curse side. And this for me is an

595
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 13: extraordinary honor, but it's also a very weighty responsibility that

596
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 13: the President has asked me to do, and I am

597
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 13: honored to do this for my country and for my president.

598
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 11: Well, Governor, and let's not forget you are going to

599
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 11: be in the ambassador's residence in Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv.

600
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 11: That is incredibly significant. Please explain to our audience.

601
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 13: Well, I was there when the embassy was moved. On

602
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 13: that incredible day. I wept because for years I'd been

603
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 13: praying some president would actually have the courage to do this,

604
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 13: and every president, and it goes back Democrats and Republicans,

605
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 13: Bill Clinton, George Bush, it didn't matter who all said

606
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 13: they were going to move the embassy from Tel Aviv

607
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 13: to Jerusalem.

608
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 4: They never did. They always found an.

609
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 13: Excuse for a reason, Oh, it'll create tension and hardship.

610
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 13: Donald Trump did it, and I'll never forget. My daughter

611
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 13: was Press secretary. I happened to be at the White

612
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 13: House and I had a visit, just one on one

613
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 13: with President Trump in the Oval Office, and we were

614
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 13: chatting and I said, mister President, thank you so much

615
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 13: for moving the embassy. Most people didn't think you'd ever

616
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 13: do it because no one else has done it. And

617
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 13: I know that every bit of pressure was for you

618
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 13: to not do it, from the State Department, from other nations,

619
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 13: and it's leaders everywhere.

620
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 4: People said don't do it.

621
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 13: Even the senators and people in the House who always

622
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 13: voted for it to happen, deep down they were afraid

623
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 13: of it. So I asked him, I said, why did

624
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 13: you do it, Charlie. I'll never forget what he said.

625
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 13: This is classic Trump, and you know him very very well,

626
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 13: so you'll understand how accurate this is. He looked at me,

627
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 13: he said, well, because I said I was going to

628
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 13: do it, and it's the right thing to do, simple

629
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 13: as that. And I thought now that as an executive,

630
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 13: that is a leader, that is a decision maker. And

631
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 13: I just realized what an extraordinary blessing we had is

632
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 13: having Donald Trump at the White House. And I was hurt,

633
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 13: deeply wounded when the twenty twenty election was called the

634
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 13: other way. But I got to tell you, I'm ecstatic

635
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 13: that he goes back in ready to go, picking some

636
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 13: incredible people to be on his team totally and he

637
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 13: will have the most impactful and successful presidency perhaps in

638
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 13: all of American history.

639
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 11: Now, I hope everyone understands. Some ambassadorships are ceremonial. They're

640
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 11: given as friends of the president, people that kind of

641
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 11: want a nice end to their career. You could think

642
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 11: of a Caribbean island to the Turks and cake Ghoast,

643
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 11: Cayman Islands, maybe even Austria ambassad Israel is a completely

644
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 11: different ballgame, everybody. Governor, can you explain you are actively

645
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 11: involved in diplomacy, in high stakes negotiations, in representing American interests,

646
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 11: not just Israel, but you are really at the tip

647
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 11: of the spear for all Western Arab communications because it

648
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 11: has to go through the prism of American Israeli relations.

649
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 11: And so this is not just kind of okay, Governor Huckabee,

650
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 11: you know, get a nice suntan down in Jamaica. You

651
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 11: are going to be on the front lines of some

652
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 11: of the most consequential geopolitical decisions.

653
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: Please, Governor, well, it.

654
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 13: Is a very strategic role because so much of world

655
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 13: peace is made or is broken in that little area

656
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 13: of the Middle East, particularly that sliver of real estate

657
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 13: we called Israel, no bigger than the size of New Jersey.

658
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 13: Israel occupies one six hundred and forty fourth of the

659
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 13: land mass of the countries that are controlled by Muslim leadership.

660
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 4: I mean, that's staggering when you think about it.

661
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 13: So for every inch of Israeli land in real estate,

662
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 13: there are six hundred and forty four pieces of land

663
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 13: controlled by Muslim countries. When people say is Well needs

664
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 13: to give up some land to attain peace, they have

665
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 13: no idea what they're talking about.

666
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: It's a dumb statement.

667
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 13: The role that I will play is to try to

668
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 13: help extend the Abraham Accords, which I don't think President

669
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 13: Trump ever got proper credit for. It was an extraordinary breakthrough,

670
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 13: truly amazing the breakthrough that that presented, and there are

671
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 13: pieces of that that still need to happen, particularly with

672
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 13: Saudi Arabia, with Cutter and with other countries. And so

673
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 13: that'll be part of what I hope to be able

674
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 13: to play a role in. But you know, the job

675
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 13: of the ambassadors, not to represent himself is not too

676
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 13: so much put forth what I think I'll be there

677
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 13: to represent this administration, this president and the policies that

678
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 13: he was elected to carry out. So as I've been asked, well,

679
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 13: what do you think you're going to want to do.

680
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 13: I said, I'm going to want to do what the

681
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 13: President wants me to do, because that's what an ambassador does.

682
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 13: One of the reasons he had some challenges in his

683
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 13: first term there were people he had pointed to office.

684
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 13: I think the first Secretary of State that he had

685
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 13: is a good example who forgot that no one had.

686
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 4: Elected him to anything.

687
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 13: The only person that got elect on November the fifth

688
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 13: with Donald J.

689
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 4: Trump.

690
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 13: So he's the person that the people have said, you're

691
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 13: our leader. Anyone he appoints are employees. It is our

692
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 13: job to carry out the policies that he was elected

693
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 13: by the American people to put forth.

694
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 11: Governor, thank you for your leadership and I've always wanted

695
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,279

696
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 11: in Jerusalem.

697
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,000

751
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 11: Roger Wicker's office before the vote. Before the vote, I

752
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 11: was told they did not know who he was supporting.

753
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 11: After the vote, I was told the asthma returned to

754
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 11: the office. But since it was a secret vote, probably

755
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 11: wouldn't say. This is highly irritating. It welcome to how

756
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 11: business works there. Look at turning point action. We exist

757
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 11: to change this. You guys deserve better. They don't know

758
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 11: who so you know he's supporting. They're dodging their constituents.

759
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 11: What they're doing, that's what they're do. I will say,

00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 10: Okay.

773
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: Conservatives for lower healthcare.

774
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 11: Let me tell you guys right now about what they're doing.

775
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: They're doing a great job.

776
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 11: Election A twenty twenty four is in the rearview mirror,

777
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 11: and conservatives are fired up at President Trump back in

778
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 11: the White House. But our fight isn't over, and I'm

779
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 11: asking for your help. Conservatives for Lower Healthcare Costs are

780
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 11: warning us that big pharma and the far left are

781
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 11: scrambling to fast track a big government scheme to eliminate

782
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 11: a free market forces in healthcare before the Republicans can

783
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 11: take control of.

784
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: The White House. In Congress.

785
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 11: This pharmaback scheme, called delinking would hand a massive thirty

786
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 11: two billion dollars windfall to the biggest drug companies and

787
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 11: guess who would pay. So check it out right now

788
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 11: at Pharma windfall dot com Pharma windfall dot com. Congress

789
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 11: must reject big pharma scheme the boost drug company profits,

790
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 11: keep drug prices high, undermined competition. Healthcare portions of The

791
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk Show are brought to in part by Conservatives

792
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 11: for lower healthcare costs. That is, Conservatives for lower health

793
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 11: care costs? Okay is Thune here? No nothing yet nothing

794
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 11: for mister Thune. Okay, email us is always freedom at

795
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 11: Charliekirk dot com. We're getting lots of emails. Let's go,

796
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 11: Let's go to some cuts here as we wait for

797
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 11: mister Thune. Let's see this one here.

798
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: Well.

799
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 11: So, Elon Musk has now been appointed to the Department

800
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 11: of Government Efficiency DOGE as they call it. Ramami and

801
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 11: Elon Musk are going to run the first ever government

802
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 11: agency with a self destruct button. It exists to eliminate itself.

803
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 11: Elon Muski and Vic Ramaswami will have full audit authority

804
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 11: the federal government to find waste, to find duplication of costs,

805
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 11: to eliminate them, and to expose to American people how

806
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 11: the government has been wasting your money. This is something

807
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 11: I'm so excited about. It takes someone like Elon and

808
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 11: Vivik that have the public's trust, that have this massive

809
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 11: platform to be able to show the waste, publicize the waste,

810
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 11: and then be able.

811
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: To cut it.

812
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 11: Transparency is the agenda that Trump fought for. The Senate

813
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 11: does not believe in transparency. The Senate believes in secret ballots.

814
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 11: The Senate believes in black box budgeting. If anybody is

815
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 11: against the Department of Government Efficiency, like Pocahontas's they are

816
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 11: running a scam. Elizabeth Warren has been very chippy on Twitter, saying, oh,

817
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 11: you know Pete Hegseth can't serve he's a Fox and

818
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 11: Friend's host. Oh really, have you served the military, Elizabeth

819
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 11: Warren has, she Jack I don't think she has, as

820
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 11: elizab Warren served in the military.

821
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: I don't.

822
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: I must have missed that in her biography.

823
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 11: No, that's fine, Elizabeth Warren says. The Office of Government

824
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 11: Efficiency is off to a great start with split leadership.

825
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 11: Two people to do the work of one person. Yes,

826
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 11: this seems really efficient. I mean at some point, Elizabeth Warren,

827
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 11: you should stay out of this one.

828
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of a co chair? At this point?

829
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 11: Why do we have a senator from Massachusetts? We could

830
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 11: have one senator to just do the job, to represent Massachusetts.

831
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 11: This is a ridiculous thing to say. Why don't we

832
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 11: just have that old crow Markey represent Massachusetts. Whatever his

833
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 11: name is, Marquy, I think it is macki Marky, whatever

834
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 11: his name is. The Department of Government Efficiency is one

835
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 11: of the most exciting development developments and promises made promises

836
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 11: kept by President Donald Trump. He said he was going

837
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 11: to empower Elon and in power of a ake. He

838
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 11: said he was going to deploy them to the front lines.

839
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 11: He said he was going to give them the authority

840
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 11: and the capacity to find cost and cut cost. The

841
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 11: creation of DOGE again will be the first federal program

842
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 11: whose goal is to eliminate itself. It exists to shrink government,

843
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 11: not grow it. This is a profound, historic step back

844
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 11: to the founder's vision for America, back to the original

845
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 11: intent and the original structure that Madison, Hamilton and j intended.

846
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 11: And the Senate is not going to like a lot

847
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 11: of this, but too bad. The people are in charge.

848
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 2: Do you see this? We are liberted.

849
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 11: We are liberating the consciousness and the awareness and the

850
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 11: visibility of our government to lead a citizen reclamation of

851
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 11: what was once ours. Donald Trump was the tip of

852
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 11: the spear, and Elon and the Veik are following right after.

853
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: Then we have Governor Nome at.

854
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 11: DHS, We've leased at EPA, got at least the Phonic

855
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 11: at the UN ambassadorship. We got Tom Hollman doing the

856
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 11: borders ar. I mean, this is a team that is

857
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 11: going to swarm d C. And look, you're not gonna

858
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 11: win every battle, some of these guys are gonna have

859
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 11: OPPO dropped on them. And you know, look, you're gonna

860
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 11: have a little war of attrition. You don't storm the

861
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 11: beaches of DC and everyone's gonna last six months.

862
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: Or a year.

863
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 11: You just got to get ready for that and then

864
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 11: it's next man up. But there has never been a

865
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 11: commanding presence of a unified Avenger force to reclaim d

866
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 11: C in American history like this, with a mandate clearly

867
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 11: given from the American people. And you couple that with

868
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 11: Twitter being liberated, things are changing. You guys are witnessing

869
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 11: American history and every day is getting better, one day

870
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 11: after the other. Okay, I think mister Fune is coming

871
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 11: up to the mic.

872
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,840
