Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
The Charlie Kirk Show starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Says will be tied to the health of our nation.
He has the opportunity to address the most pertinent issues
affecting Americans' health. We also need to reform institutions like
FDA and NIH, and those, as already been indicated, are
my priorities as Chairman of the Health Committee. I look
forward to his support and accomplishing this if confirmed.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I look forward to working together with.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Mister Kennedy to achieve President Trump's mission of improving the
health of all Americans.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
And with that I yield.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Just don't know. They don't know what they're ingesting. They're
dying because they've been deceptively sold a counterfeit pill that
they think is a pharmaceutical great oxycodon, for example, and
it turns out that it's a fake build and they
end up dying. First time use educational awareness is working,
but we were just a small organization. We need to
do this nationwide. Mister Steve Hillson says it all the time.

(01:32):
With COVID nineteen, we all knew that we had to
wash our hands and have a mask over our faces.
Why has the why on a national or on a
federal level. Why have we not had a PSA campaign
of sorts of warning all parents and children of the
impending danger of illicit or should I say, recreational drug use.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
I think that's very key because.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Again due to the stike of an addiction in overdose,
most kids and most parents don't understand the problem of
what it is. I also feel that interdiction is helping
a lot as well as the lock zone. So the
three pronged approach education and awareness, interdiction and the lock
zone widely available in the lock zone on college campuses

(02:14):
in high schools, I think is really helping out the
situation a little bit, but we need to do a
lot more.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
I agree the education and awareness piece is huge, but
we face roadblocks all the time with schools that don't
want us to come into their schools because they feel
that we may basically in a sense, give kids the
idea that it's okay to go do these drugs and
it's so ridiculous. We've shown Dead on Arrival. I'm a

(02:41):
former member of Void, so we do that all oftentime.
We also show the Comeback Home film that the Alexander
Neville Foundation produced, which is told from the youth preventative
side of things, and I think when you hear from
the youth directly on this crisis, that is so impact.
We also pride ourselves on going out into the community

(03:04):
doing community events, bringing the community together, doing the locks
own trainings, getting that information out there, really reducing the
stigma of this crisis. Because I say poisoning, while so
many say overdose, you will never hear me say that
my son overdose.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Because my son was poisoned.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
I know that if my son knew that that pill
was going to take his life, he would never have
taken it. Like Senator Klobshire said, all of my hopes
and dreams for him and his future are gone.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
But not only that, his.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Dreams erased in the blink of an eye. So, and
I mirror your sentiment. Our government really needs to step
up and start taking the handle on this because we're
just parents out there. We're spending a lot of money
out of our pockets. Most of us don't qualify for
public grants or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Why don't we have the campaign kids are dying?

Speaker 6 (04:02):
You would think that that would be a priority, and
yet it's us out there.

Speaker 8 (04:06):
Doing the work, and we will do it.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
Because that means potentially a child's life is saved.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Thank you both again for your testimony and to all
the parents who are here representing their children, and I
want to thank you for your advocacy.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Really important for us.

Speaker 9 (04:25):
To see you and to hear you, and thank you
for your testimony.

Speaker 8 (04:29):
Feel back.

Speaker 10 (04:30):
Couldn't agree more. I'd like to enter into the record
a letter of support from nine organizations that represent the
medical community, led by the American Society of Neurosurgeons. Their
letter commends our bipartisan leadership and addressing the fentanyl epidemic
and notes that the temporary schedule classification is not sustainable.

(04:50):
They note that quote continually revisiting its classification creates confusion
about the dangers of these substances.

Speaker 9 (05:02):
Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information
coming from every angle, but the will to the city
fear not. You found the place for truth, the voice
of a generation that still has the will to believe
in the greatest country in the history of the world.
This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot, here we.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Go a lot.

Speaker 11 (05:25):
Okay, everybody, Radio stations across the country honored to be
with you.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
As always.

Speaker 11 (05:29):
You can email me Freedom at Charliekirk dot com and
subscribe to our podcast.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Right out of the gate.

Speaker 11 (05:34):
Here we have a great man, great senator, Coach, Tommy Tuberville. Coach,
great to see you. Thank you for taking the time, Coach.
Breaking news. Senator Cassidy is voting in favor of Bobby Kennedy.
Senator Young is voting in favor of Tulsi Gabbard. Your reaction,
Coach Tuberville.

Speaker 12 (05:52):
That was always going to happen. Sometimes people like to
be relevant up here, Charlie. They see the same information
we see. It's just unfortunate that we hold people's feet
to the fire when we shouldn't, especially a Republican on Republican.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
But it's done, it's going to be over with.

Speaker 12 (06:09):
We'll get them on the floor and hopefully get them
at least fifty one votes and get.

Speaker 11 (06:13):
Them to work so that I don't want to get
too ahead of ourselves here, But it looks as if
we're going to have everyone of Trump's selections put into
the cabinet. Is that fair to say, Coach, that he's
going to run the table?

Speaker 8 (06:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (06:27):
Hangers crossed, and you know again, people want to do
their due diligence up here. But as I've told them,
on every nominee that comes up. Listen, President Trump's vetted
all these people. He's not going to bring somebody in
that he doesn't think he can do the job. Oh
by the way, if they don't do the job, he'll fire.
It's not like that. We're Democrats that we're going to

(06:49):
keep putting up with nonsense and people that are not
relevant can't do the job. So yeah, he's got these
are some great people. Charge they're out of the box.
They're not politicians, they're not people that and you know,
we're just steadfast on doing things the same way. RFK Junior,
for instance, he got President Trump millions of votes from
millennials because he wants to clean up our food supply

(07:12):
and make America healthy again.

Speaker 11 (07:15):
The smart guys in the media I put in air quotes,
we're saying, there's no way these guys get through.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
We got them through.

Speaker 11 (07:23):
There is a pattern here, and it really started with
heg Seth coach. I believe I saw you at Pete's
swearing in ceremony. If I'm not mistaken. It was a
kind of a whirlwind morning. I came over and said Hi.
Everything changed with heg Seth walk us through that in
the significance of getting Pete across the finish line, and
how that set the pattern for Trump running the table.

Speaker 12 (07:45):
Well, first of all, I think at the end of
the day, he was going to be the hardest to
get through because they thought they had all kinds of
dirt on Pete. They said he wasn't he wasn't a general,
he hasn't been in the Pentagon. But guess what, he's
from a different era. He's from the recruiting era. He
can communicate. And that's what I like about Pete. And

(08:07):
I told him that, I said, listen, whether you can
do the job or not, that's going to be up
to you. I like your age. I like you're able
to communicate to the war fighter. You've been in two
wars recently. You haven't been setting in a desk worrying
about who's going to open your door and go get
your lunch for you in the Pentagon. You are perfect
for this job. And you can just see him. He's

(08:27):
got all kinds of energy all over the border. Today's
meeting with some of the combatant commanders here in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 8 (08:34):
He will do a great job. But at the end
of the day, Tom.

Speaker 12 (08:38):
Tillis held out and I was a little bit worried
there at the end, but there's no way that he
could have voted against Pete hexit then sent him you know,
the other way and not confirmed him.

Speaker 8 (08:49):
And so but the end of the day, it all
worked out.

Speaker 11 (08:52):
The President deserves credit here for putting forth change makers
and disruptors and for standing by his nominees. Somebody else
who deserves credit is Vice President JD.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Evans.

Speaker 11 (09:03):
Can you give us a little bit of an idea
of how the Vice President has been working the calls,
working the phones, and doing some meetings to try to
get these cabinets the approval of the US Senate.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (09:16):
Well, first of all, he's been over here in the
Senate buildings walking around some of the nominees, going from
office to office.

Speaker 8 (09:22):
He's been on the phone.

Speaker 12 (09:23):
Talking to people that have doubts and whether they're going
to vote to confirm. So JD's been a great communication.
He's from President Trump all the way over here to
the Senate, and he knows all of us and he's
been with us for almost two years and it's really
worked great. Again, JD's a great communicator. I think everybody's
seen that. But he also has been in the military.

(09:45):
He has done things out of the ordinary. He's kind
of a different type of senator that didn't come from
the political ram. He comes from an area across the
country that was in private business. He was obviously well educated,
but he was also in the military. He just a
perfect scenario to be vice president. And you can tell

(10:07):
the Democrats and the mainstream media hate him because he
can come back right at him with any kind of
response on any kind of item that they try to
pin him up against the wall with.

Speaker 11 (10:18):
So coach in front of us, we have pretty miraculous
Looking back a couple weeks and now we are seeing
the legislative agenda start to get more clarity. What can
we expect out of the US Senate. We know about
this one big bill or two bills, but there has
to be other smaller piece of legislation that you are
working on other topics. Give our audience some idea of

(10:42):
the legislative calendar, because this is precious time right now.
Once you get the cabinet through, we need to start
to deliver for the American people through Article one and
Article two working together.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
Well exactly charting.

Speaker 12 (10:55):
The thing that I'd like to bring up is, as senators,
you know, we've got the floor. We can get things past.
We can get things at least to the floor of
the Senate where they get a vote, where Schumer he'd
never bring anything up. For instance, I got a good
example twice.

Speaker 8 (11:10):
I had a.

Speaker 12 (11:10):
Vote on the Senate floor in the middle of the night,
by the way, at what we call a vote rama
on sports Women and Girls in Sports Act, the Transgenders boys,
biological boys playing against women.

Speaker 8 (11:23):
Tomorrow, President Trump, I'm going to the White House.

Speaker 12 (11:26):
He's having Title nine day and having a sum over
that that have some things to do with Title nine,
and we're celebrating that. But I need to get that
to the floor and need he's got an executive order
blocking men and women's sports, but we have to make
it law because if we don't, the next Democrat president
comes in, they'll just go right back to letting biological
boys play against girls'.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
Sports, and they're going to ruin it at the end
of the day.

Speaker 12 (11:49):
So it's it's small, it's not a small thing, but
it's things like that that we can get to the floor.
The one thing that we have to do, though, is
we have to get this reconciliation going and get these
jobs and.

Speaker 8 (11:59):
Tax cuts permanent.

Speaker 12 (12:01):
We've got to do that because we don't will lose
the House in two years and President Trump's hands will
be tied. So we've got to get the Reconciliation bill
done and done in a hurry.

Speaker 11 (12:12):
There are reports that we know Penhagseth is on the border,
that military aircraft is doing reconnaissance and surveillance flights over
the interior of Mexico. If President Trump were to approve
surgical military strikes against the cartels, what would your reaction
be to that, Coach.

Speaker 8 (12:29):
Oh, I'd be four one hundred percent.

Speaker 12 (12:31):
They have killed thousands and thousands of Americans, the cartel
of pushing drugs, not just fentanyl, but all kinds of
drugs across our border, human trafficking, the rapes that are
going on, the murders even before these young people are
people coming to the border have died because they're because
of the costs that they can't pay when they get

(12:53):
to the border, pay the cartels, and then a lot
of them are sacrificing their families to get here. And
once they get they have to pay the cartels thousands
and thousands of dollars through the mail, and if they don't,
their families lives will be lost by the cartel because
they hold them accountable. There's so many things going on.

(13:13):
They Mexico caane Hamlet. Of course, Mexico is a very
corrupt country. We know that, but I don't know whether
President Trump would do that. I would be all for
our military helping the Mexican military overcome the cartels because
it is a disease that has affected Mexico and the
United States for many, many years.

Speaker 11 (13:33):
Look, I mean, I think it's morally very simple. If
we are willing to provide cluster bombs to the Ukrainian
Army to fight Russia, if we are willing to send
American missiles into the interior of Russia, why would we
not be willing to strike the cartels that have killed
our kids. You gonna have mixed opinions about Russia. We're
no fans of Russia on the show, but they're not
killing kids in suburban Birmingham right now. Russia is not

(13:56):
killing kids in Scottsdale. The cartels are. I think it's
long past time that we wipe them off the face
of the planet. You've been vindicated. Really quickly, Coach, we
have a minute remaining. You've been vindicated as we've now
stopped the practice of subsidizing abortions in the US military.
You took a bunch of incoming coming for fighting for
life by blocking these promotions. Tell us about it, coach. Congratulations,

(14:17):
this is awesome.

Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (14:19):
First of all, thank you Charlie for standing up with
me when many, even the Republicans, came after me.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
We had your kind presenter.

Speaker 12 (14:26):
Yeah, they all came after me. After about nine or
ten months. It's like, what are you doing, Coach. You
can't hold these promotions up. Yes, I can. You can't
break the law like Biden did. And what they did
is they started paying a taxpayer money to military forgetting
abortions for their travels. So at the end of the day,
President Trump stopped that nonsense last week. But again that's
something else that we have to get voted on the

(14:49):
floor to make a law. So the next Democrat president
comes in, he can't change the executive order.

Speaker 11 (14:56):
We are thankful to have you as a senator, Coach,
and we start to see more and more voices like yours.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
We got Bernie moreno Jim. Thanks.

Speaker 11 (15:03):
I'm excited for the future. Coach, Thank you so much,

Speaker 11 (17:31):
Email US Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Eight US Code
one three two four says it is a federal law
to harbor an illegal alien. It is a crime punishable
up to five years in prison. The law defines, quote,
harboring an illegal alien is considered a felony and can

(17:54):
carry serious penalties.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
If convicted, the individual can.

Speaker 11 (17:57):
Face five years for every each instance of harboring, and
ten years if it was done for a financial gain.
Encouraging our assisting illegal immigration. Eight US Code one three
two four sub Dash one A, Part four. It is
also illegal to encourage or assist someone in entering or
remaining in the United States illegally. Penalties for this can

(18:19):
also include significant prison time, depending on the nature and.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
The scope of the offense.

Speaker 11 (18:30):
Yesterday, a clip surfaced of the deeply unpopular governor of
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who is in some sort
of a interview and was bragging. He was bragging that
he is breaking a federal law. Governor Phil Murphy is
breaking eight US Code Section one three two four, so smug,

(18:55):
almost taunting the federal government to come after him.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Let's play cut sixty.

Speaker 13 (19:02):
Nine, talking about I don't want to get into too
much detail, but there's someone in our broader universe whose
immigration status is not yet at the point that they
are trying to get it to and we said, you
know what, let's have her live at our house above
our garage, and good luck to the feds coming in

(19:25):
to try to get her.

Speaker 11 (19:27):
So we don't quite know what that means, an immigration
status not where she wants it to be. Is it
is someone illegal, someone waiting for paperwork. We don't quite know,
but it sure sounds like the way he ended that
statement that he is taumpting federal authorities saying I'm breaking
the law. What are you going to do? I'm the
governor of New Jersey. Well, Tom Holman had some very

(19:51):
sharp words in response to this. Let's play cut sixty three.
Tom Holman orders are responding to Governor Murphy.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Sixty three.

Speaker 14 (20:05):
I think the government's pretty foolish. Same way said, because
I've gotten hold of it, won't let it go. We'll
look into it. And if he's normally normally harboring, concealing
and illego alien, that's a violation on title weight and
I stay its cold thirteen twenty four. I would seek prosecution,
or the secretary will seek prosecution. So maybe he's bluffing.

(20:25):
If he's not, we'll deal with that. And as far
as sanctuary cities, we'll get in line because the Trump
administration is going to do that already. Sanctuary cities are
sanctuary for criminals.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
We have no choice.

Speaker 11 (20:37):
If Governor Murphy is breaking federal law and taunting and provoking,
the feds, just file an indictment. You don't have to
raid the governor's mansion, you don't have to make some
big spectacle.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
But you have no choice.

Speaker 11 (20:48):
You don't get to selectively choose which immigration laws you're
going to live under. And I would, I would do
a wide, sweeping indictment of everybody involved in such circumstances.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Either we're a nation of laws or we are not.

Speaker 11 (21:03):
And if you do not like eight US Code Section
one three two four, then go to the House of
Representatives and have them.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Change the law. Change the law.

Speaker 11 (21:14):
Don't say I'm not going to live under those laws.
Remember they were telling us under President Trump, no one
is above the law. Well, here you have a governor
admitting that he's breaking federal law and in a non
dramatic way, very matter of fact, very business. You don't
need to do a big press conference. Investigate it. If

(21:37):
it is true that the governor of New Jersey is
indeed harboring an illegal alien, file an indictment, make him
stand and say, hey, you can turn yourself in whenever
you want. You can go bring your state troopers, will
come in for processing.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
You have a week to do. So.

Speaker 11 (21:52):
We're not going to go raid the governor's mansion. We're
not going to go make a big spectacle out of it.
We're not going to go do the maral Lago thing.
But we've investigated it. You're breaking the law. You have
one week to turn yourself into the Southern District of New
York or the New York New Jersey U S. Attorney's Office,
and thanks for playing. And then Governor Murphy is gonna

(22:13):
have to He's gonna try to make himself to be
some martyr, a martyr for harboring an illegal alien against
federal law. This is called eighty two elan Omar doing
the same thing. This is not going to be very
helpful for podcasting or radio unless you speak Somali, which
is a very difficult language. Play cut eighty two talking

Speaker 16 (23:23):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice News Break. I'm
Terrence Bates. One of President Trump's more high profile cabinet
picks is moving out of the committee into the full
Senate for confirmation. Just a couple of hours ago, Robert F. Kennedy,
Junior won confirmation before the Senate Finance Committee. As expected,
it came down to a party line vote, with Kennedy
getting fourteen Republicans to side with him and thirteen Democrats

(23:45):
voting against him. President Trump's choice to head up the
Department of Health and Human Human Services can only afford
three goped defections to be confirmed by the full Senate,
though he was able to convince at least one skeptical
Republican during the committee confirmation process. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana,
who also happens to be a medical doctor, says he

(24:05):
had been quote struggling with the nominee's views on vaccines
and how those views could undermine the public's faith in them,
but taking the true social right. Before today's vote, the
Louisiana Republican writing, and I'm quoting here. With the serious
commitments I've received from the administration and the opportunity to
make progress on the issues we agree on, like healthy
foods and pro American agenda, I will vote yes, he writes. Meantime,

(24:30):
President Trump preparing to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahood at the White House today. The two will discuss
the ongoing situation in Gaza and the various threats to Israel,
including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. While he'll address foreign policy today,
his America First policies remain the focus.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
Though.

Speaker 16 (24:48):
Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome ordered the eventual deportation
of three hundred and forty eight thousand, two hundred and
two Venezuelans who are living in the United States under
temporary protective its status. Those protections will expire in April.
A termination notice is scheduled to be published tomorrow, with
the protections dropping off some sixty days later, allowing hundreds

(25:11):
of thousands of Venezuelans to be removed from the United States.
Venezuelans in the country under temporary protected status thanks to
the Biden administration, make up about half of the approximately
six hundred thousand immigrants in this country who fall under
that umbrella. Well, that's going to do it for your headlines.
As always, we appreciate having you along for the ride.

(25:32):
We'll of course have more headlines coming your way here
in just a little bit, including the rest of the
big news of the day. We'll also be following the
situation at the White House as President Trump prepares to
meet with Israeli.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Primariz the artist.

Speaker 9 (25:57):
Working radio show in the business, The Charlie Kirkshow.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Okay, everybody, welcome back. Let's dive right into it.

Speaker 11 (26:03):
The legendary Judge Janine is with us. Judge, great to
have you on the program.

Speaker 17 (26:11):
Ger.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Great to be with you, Charlie.

Speaker 11 (26:12):
Thanks Judge. I love watching you every day on the five.
It is awesome and you bring the heat. What do
you I mean, you've known President Trump for quite some time.
You've known him personally. He's a good person, he's a
dear friend of yours. What is your take on these
last couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
It feels like it's been almost two years.

Speaker 18 (26:36):
Well, you know, I.

Speaker 9 (26:37):
Got to tell you.

Speaker 18 (26:38):
I texted him the other day and I said, if
you keep going at this pace, there'll be nothing left
to do in another couple of months and you'll be
able to just go to the beach by Joe Biden
did every minute. Look, the guy has always been a
hard worker. My then husband was one of his lawyers,
and he used to call it like five in the
morning looking for al I mean, he was a He's

(27:01):
always been a very intense guy, but one of the
nicest guys you'll ever meet. I mean, he would do
things for people that no one would know about it,
and he didn't care that people knew about it. That's
one of the parts of Donald Trump that people don't understand.
If there's a problem or if someone is in trouble,
He's there to help you out, irrespective of whether or

(27:23):
not anyone knows about it. And he doesn't really care.
I mean, sure, he likes to be recognized. He's someone
who's into marketing. He understands the business. He is a celebrity.
I mean, he is someone who gets it. But at
the same time, if there is a problem and you're
in trouble, he's going to be there for you. So
you know, this Donald Trump that we're seeing during the

(27:44):
second term is so focused, so clear, so lucid in
the direction that he's going that it's almost like he's
trying to beat the clock. It's like, you know what,
I've got a certain amount of time, and my job
right now is to get everything done that I promise
the American people.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
And he's going to do it.

Speaker 18 (28:04):
And that's that's a man of his word. And I
find it amazing, Charlie that Donald Trump now when the
Democrats come at him, he's like cool, calm and collected.
I think he realizes now that there's a reason that
he wasn't killed, there's a reason that he turned his head,
and there is a message and something that he has

(28:24):
to deliver for America.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
And he's focused on it.

Speaker 18 (28:27):
He's got a great team behind him. I mean, you know,
I think there's this is a different Donald Trump. He's
he's comfortable, he is with his staff. If you remember
during the first term, I mean everybody within the West
wing was turning on him. He didn't even know who
was there. The deep state was all around.

Speaker 19 (28:46):
Him just looking to deep fix them.

Speaker 18 (28:48):
So I mean, this is a good man at the
end of the discussion here who has done so much
for people that the public will never even know. I'd
walk down the street with him in New York City
and I don't care if it was a hard This
is in the nineties. I don't hear a hard hat
a cop. He take the time to say hellod to
him or her and take the time to be morgil.

(29:12):
He's a good man.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
End of the story.

Speaker 11 (29:15):
So judge the left is predictably losing it. Let's go
to this one right here, Joy Reid from MSNBC, which
I think is the biggest earrings I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Let's play cut seventy second.

Speaker 17 (29:31):
Over the past two weeks, it kind of feels like
it's been two years we have learned just how fragile
our democracy is, and how relatively easy it is for
someone who's determined and really well funded to steal and
corrupt it.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
If you are going to.

Speaker 17 (29:44):
Write a playbook for how to steal a democracy in
less than twenty days, it would sure look a lot
like this.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Steal democracy, Judge Jenne.

Speaker 18 (29:55):
One of the things about Joy Reid is she is
part of the left wing progressive upside down. Doesn't get America,
doesn't understand the Constitution when she says that, you know,
he's trying to steal democracy. First of all, no one's
listening to her. Let's be clear about that. That's number one. Yes,
number two, she doesn't make any sense. A Number three

(30:16):
is the fact that all of a sudden, we have
a man who respects the American worker, who respects the
money that we pay into our government every year through taxes,
who understands that G. We really want safe streets. G.
We really want to make sure the trend a Iragua
and MS third Team that I used to prosecute when

(30:37):
I was a DA is not just free to roam
around this country. And the amazing part of all this
is he's doing it with little, if any effort. He
is determined to get things done, to make this country safer,
to make us respected again on the world stage, and
to cut the unnecessary duplicity and the fraud in government.

(30:58):
Look no way, Charlie, And you know this better than
I do. You have two beautiful babies, Okay, I right
now have a beautiful grandson. He's three years old. I mean,
it's like, it's wonderful. And I look at all the
garbage we give our kids. The only reason that we're
giving our kids garbage is because the United States has
so much corruption in the FDA and the CDC that

(31:22):
what's outlawed in Europe is not outlawed in the United States.
Why is that We're supposed to be the smartest, the
most technologically advanced, the wealthiest nation, the most giving nation,
and we feed our kids' carcinogens. We don't even talk
about what they shouldn't be eating. So now we've got
a president who's focused on stuff and the left can't

(31:44):
handle it. The left can't you know, it's like that movie.
Left can't handle the truth. The truth is, illegals are
not good for this country. If you're unvetted and you're
member of the gang. And the Left has taken away bail.
They literally have allowed anyone who commits a crime in
this country to walk. No one goes into jail. Everyone

(32:04):
is veiled, no cash, nothing, just go out. Why wouldn't
you want to come to America? You can engage in
whatever criminal enterprise you want to and the government will
give you a free lawyer or free translator, a hotel,
food that you find acceptable, education, medication. I mean, how
stupid are we.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
As a country?

Speaker 18 (32:25):
How anti American was Joe Biden that this man allowed
this to happen and made veterans move and senior citizens
who don't have money, who have to put food back
on the shelves from their basket because we're paying billions
for illegals who never asked permission to come here.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Her ilk.

Speaker 11 (32:49):
They're losing, and so just a side note, they are losing.
Why is it that we haven't seen any adjustments from
the Democrats? They seem to be doubling and tripling down
on their most unpopular radical ideas.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
What is that all about?

Speaker 18 (33:05):
They still don't understand what happened to them. I think
that they are now at a point where the election
hit them sideways and upside down. They can't see straight anymore.
They really don't understand why they lost this election, and
they lost it big. They don't understand why Americans are
bright enough to see a president who has cognitively declined,

(33:29):
who is incapable of putting two sentences together. They don't
understand how we're too smart to see that. I mean,
we're supposed to be stupid. They don't understand how we
didn't love Kamala's joy and unity and bullshit that they
kept trying to push on us. And you know, I'm
not interested in my grandson going to school and having

(33:50):
you know, transgender, what is it story time, whatever that
nonsense is. I'm not interested in my grandchildren being a female,
having a male come into sports spiking a ball so
that they lose, they mose, not just physically and emotionally,
they lose their dreams, their ambitions. This left take on

(34:10):
America is so on American.

Speaker 19 (34:13):
It's so unconstitutional.

Speaker 18 (34:15):
They don't want us to have free speech, they don't
want the First Amendment, they don't want us carrying guns.
You know what, They're wrong, They're just wrong. And the
United States stood up like the forgotten man and woman
in twenty sixteen. In twenty twenty four. They said belowey,
you're not going to do this to us. You're not
going to indict, convict and try to kill a man

(34:36):
and bankrupt him because this is what they do in
third world countries. It's just all you have to do
is be normal to know that these people are abnormal.

Speaker 11 (34:47):
What is your reaction now, Judge in closing of the
Governor of New Jersey, I want to play this again,
basically taunting the FEDS to come arrest him. You are
a judge, you are someone understands the law. You prosecuted crimes.
I want your reaction to this. Let's play cut sixty nine,
and then I want you to.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
React talking about it.

Speaker 13 (35:06):
I don't want to get into too much detail, but
there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is
not yet at the point that they are trying to
get it to and we said, you know what, let's
have her live at our house above our garage, and
good luck to the FEDS coming in to try to

(35:27):
get her.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Judge Jenninge, Yeah.

Speaker 18 (35:31):
Well, that is a taunt. That is a public official
who is elected and swore an oath to the constitution
and to the laws of the State of New Jersey,
and of course the federal laws as well through the Constitution.
Who is basically saying, come and get this illegal in
my house, I dare you, except that eight USC. Thirteen

(35:51):
twenty four says you cannot harbor and you cannot prevent
the Feds from doing their job, and you could be
charged with obstruction, with conspirae with any one of a
number of crimes. And let me tell you something, Charlie,
the truth is. The reason you're not hearing the governor
of Massachusetts ranting the way she was only a few

(36:12):
weeks ago is because they now understand we're coming after
them too. They cannot violate the laws of the United
States of America.

Speaker 19 (36:21):
This is this is not a gang.

Speaker 18 (36:24):
America is a nation of laws. And until you change
those laws, you have to follow them. And don't you
dare talk to feds. Don't you dare say I dare
you to come into my home because I'm harboring and illegal. Well,
whether you are, I don't know that he is or
he isn't. He's trying to be a big guy, macho man.
Phil Murphy's on his way out, and you know what

(36:45):
he should be, because his whole message has been below
me from day one, and that's why New Jersey, a
historically democrat state, has gone so close to turning red.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
And it will.

Speaker 18 (36:58):
I guarantee you, the next governor will be a publican.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Thank god, Judge, you are the greatest.

Speaker 11 (37:03):
Please plug your book for our audience and anything else
you want our audience to be aware of.

Speaker 18 (37:09):
Well, thank you. The book is Crimes against America, and
I talk about the takedown of the institutions of government
by the left, by these so called progressives who are
determined to take down this country and make us a
globalist landing spot with no borders, with nothing more than
an invitation to anyone, whether you're a drug dealer, or
whether you're in a cartel, or whether you are interested

(37:32):
in a in promoting a gang to come to this country.
It's over now, and those crimes against America are now
being reversed because Donald Trump is in office.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Thank God, Judge, God bless you. Talk to you soon.

Speaker 11 (37:45):
Thank you so much, Love you, BOBBYE. I want to
tell you guys about conservatives for lower health care costs.
Listen carefully. With President Jonald Trump now back in the
White House, Praise God. We're all excited about the big
changes ahead which will make America great again. But even
with the defeat of their supporters last November, Big Pharma

(38:08):
is still threatening to derail the Trump Agenda. Oppose Bobby
Kennedy's upcoming reforms, and they want a block competition and
keep drug prices too high. Big Pharma sets the price
of drugs, and already this year they've raised the price
on more than five hundred and seventy five of them.
They're anti competitive practices of block competition, block competition so

(38:30):
that they can keep prices high, and they spend billions
of dollars on ads pushing their high priced brand name
drugs on working Americans. But Big Pharma wants more. Now
they're urging Congress to undermine incentives in the private health
care market that help American employers and families secure savings

(38:51):
on prescription drugs. Conservatives for Lower health Care Costs warns
that Big Pharma is no friend to the Trump Agenda
or the pocket books of the American people. They opposed
solutions to lower drug prices in President Trump's first term,
and they're after a huge money grab at the expense
of everyone else now by seeking more government intervention in

(39:14):
the private market. Go to Pharma Windfall dot com now

Nineteen campus stops. We are back at it. You see,
we had a choice to make. We could take it easy.
We won the election. Now, mind you, it's less than
the fall, just you know, it's less or we can
go after gen Z and make this a permanent cultural realignment,

(40:35):
to make this a permanent move to the right, a
permanent it's less than the fall. The fall was like
twenty three and I lost my voice twise. But it's
time for us to go big, push ourselves the left
there in the wilderness.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
What are we gonna do? Let give them a chance
to go regather.

I would give to have them have mandated Hillsdale Online

(43:14):
course sessions. Sit down, put down the phone. You can't
film yourself. You have to learn. You got to learn.
Do you think AOC knows that there are seven articles
to the US Constitution? Can she name them? You know,
I would love to be able to somebody, some intrepid

(43:36):
media figure, some intrepid young fella with a phone in
their right hand pocket. Can you just go up to
AOC and very politely and ask her what is Article three?
What is Article two? What does it say? Who wrote
the US Constitution? Tell us about the Federalist papers? Can
you name a single one? You see, AOC went on

(44:00):
this very interesting tirade against Elon Musk. AOC says to
Elon Musk that you're not very smart. So the world's
wealthiest man that has figured out a way for rockets

(44:21):
to land themselves. She's now going after his intelligence. Now,
mind you, this is not They're not sending their best
to attack Elon. This is AOC who's saying that Elon

(44:43):
is not very smart. Play cut eighty eight.

Speaker 21 (44:47):
This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires.

Speaker 19 (44:52):
I have ever met or seen.

Speaker 21 (44:55):
All of that is to say is that they don't
do their homework. Clearly, like they're putting nineteen year olds
in at the Treasury.

Speaker 19 (45:03):
This dude is not smart, and.

Speaker 8 (45:08):
The danger in not in.

Speaker 21 (45:10):
The lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise. But
the point is is that what that means is that they're.

Speaker 19 (45:17):
Going to hit a button.

Speaker 21 (45:20):
Inevitably, they are going to hit a button and things
can go side.

Speaker 11 (45:28):
She said some really dumb things over the last couple
of years. This might be the dumbest thing she's ever said.
For the record, These nineteen or twenty year olds that
are going into the Treasury, these are MENSA level geniuses.
These are prodigies that are deciphering ancient scrolls. We're going
to do an entire segment on that at some point.

(45:49):
I mean, these are I actually met one of them
in the White House, this incredible young kid Ethan I
think was his name, because they've all been doxed. Ridiculous.
We're going to get to that in the next segment.
He says, Charlie, I'm a huge fan. Really great handshake,
and he says, I was one semester way from graduating
at Harvard, at the top of my class at Harvard,
and I dropped out just to go help Elon at DOJE.

(46:13):
I mean, and you could tell this guy has an
iq well over like one sixty one seventy. Does AOC
have an IQB one hundred?

Speaker 3 (46:22):
We don't know. Actually it's TBD. It's fine.

Speaker 11 (46:25):
I mean, she can serve in Congress and go make
videos like this, but she wants to embark upon the
intelligence debate.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
I would sit that one out.

Speaker 11 (46:36):
Not not exactly a qualified discussion for her, and going
after the world's wealthiest man, the person who created all
this wealth himself. Quite remarkable. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk
dot com. Second hour coming up.

Speaker 16 (47:18):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. Thyroid disease, issues with your pituitary gland, any
sort of hormonal imbalance. While your first call would likely
be to an endocrinologist, Well, there may be another alternative
you want to consider.

Speaker 22 (47:34):
Also, I had my thyroid removed from cancer in two
thousand and nine. My pituitary gland is very compromised. I
don't have a thyroid, and my under chronologist told me
that he thinks that my hypotholamus was also compromised. I
think this is a miracle that I'm having results.

Speaker 16 (47:53):
The results she's talking about are thanks to John Jubilee
and his Energized Health Plan. John is here with us
again this week to kick things off, so talk about
how this plan works and how it literally can address
pretty much every sort of health issue that may be
out there.

Speaker 23 (48:07):
It seems, well, you know, Terrence, a lot of a
lot of people that you know have a thyroid issue,
or a pituitary issue, or hypothalamus.

Speaker 24 (48:19):
You know, a lot of people might not even know
what those are, Terrence. But but it's kind of like
if you went out to start your car and your
engine is perfect, your transmission is perfect, your tires are perfect.
But if your starter is broken, you're not going anywhere.
You're just that car is stuck in the driveway just
because of one one small part of that entire car.

(48:40):
Just the starter doesn't work, you're not going anywhere. And
that's kind of how it is with a lot of
people with.

Speaker 19 (48:46):
Their health goals.

Speaker 24 (48:47):
If their pituitaries off, if they're thyroid's off, if their
hypothalamus is off, you know, and you know, you don't
have to be an endocrinologist to understand that those those
that triangulation terance of those three organs in the human
body are what helps the body to metabolize fat.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
It tells the body what to.

Speaker 24 (49:10):
Do with the food that's coming into it, so it
tells it to either use it as energy. But if
they're not functioning the way they should, it says, you
know what, I'm broken, We're just going to store that
as fat. So a lot of times people that have
tried every kind of diet out there, they don't even
realize the root cause of the reason they keep gaining weight.

(49:31):
No matter what they do, how much they exercise, how
much they diet, none of those things are going to
work for them, terrence, until they address the root.

Speaker 23 (49:39):
Cause, which is one of.

Speaker 24 (49:41):
Those three items see either the pituitary, the thyroid, or
the hypothalamus. And the great news is we go to
the root cause it energize health. When you're doing our
scientific protocol, it's a patent pending science. You're optimizing each
one of those. And I love this client's testimony because
you notice she actually had her thyroid removed, Terrence, so

(50:04):
she don't even have a thyroid, and she still was
able to lose that to get healthy at the cellular level,
because the other two will actually subsidize what's missing. Even
if you're missing a thyroid or pituitary, you can still
get healthy at the cellular level.

Speaker 16 (50:22):
You know, you said the word root cause, and when
you think of the body, the root in the body
would be at the cellular level.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
And so it really does make sense.

Speaker 24 (50:32):
No, it really is, Terence. But again, imagine the frustration
of somebody that they're eating the right diet, they're doing
the right exercise, and they can't understand, well, how do
I keep gaining fat? You know, when you know I'm
eating a perfect diet, I'm eating all organic and I'm
drinking my water, I'm doing my exercise. But if you

(50:52):
don't go to the root cause to actually optimize those
organs so that they tell the body what to actually do,
it's sort of like, you know, my grape and raisin analogy.
I like to get people word pictures and just imagine
if your purtuitary or your thyroid is shriveled up like
a raisin, it's a raisin instead of a healthy grape.

(51:13):
It just can't function and do what it's designed to do,
which is to secrete the hormones that cause your body
to metabolize fat.

Speaker 16 (51:23):
All right, For people who are interested, Energized health dot
com is where they should go, and it's a fairly
easy process.

Speaker 24 (51:30):
Now, look, it's super simple, guys.

Speaker 8 (51:32):
Listen.

What really works is simple. There's a term in science
called elegance. You know, there's a simple elegance to doing
things the right way, A simple way, simple, scientific and sustainable.

Speaker 16 (51:45):
Energized health dot com go there, be elegant and get
the information you need.

Okay, everybody, welcome back.

Speaker 11 (52:24):
Email us as always Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. USAID
is the ATM machine of the Central Intelligence Agency. It
is the funding mechanism of the deep state. Do you
know that we spent one point five million dollars to
promote Dei in Serbia? Seventy thousand dollars for a Dei

(52:47):
musical production in Ireland. We spend forty seven thousand dollars
on a transgender opera in Colombia, thirty two thousand dollars
on a transgender comic in Peru, twenty million dollars to
produce Sesame Street in Iraq, to promote a LGBT gay agenda.

(53:07):
Two million dollars for sex reassignment surgery in Guatemala, twenty
seven million dollars for gift bags for deporties in Central America.
Hundreds of millions of dollars for irrigreat irrigation and agricultural
in Afghanistan that were ultimately used to increase opium supply.
One point one billion dollars to build a port and

(53:27):
a power plant in Haiti after the twenty ten or earthquake,
a project promoted by Bill Clinton, but nothing was actually built.
Seventy four million dollars e oporated in two thousand and
six under the title of Promoting Democracy in Cuba, and
that is just the tip of the iceberg. Joining us
now is Jonathan Kieperman, founder of Passage Press, also known

(53:50):
as Lomez.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
Great to see you again.

Speaker 11 (53:53):
What is your take on USAID and should it continue
to exist, Charlie.

Speaker 25 (53:58):
The easy answer there is no, at least not in
its current form.

Speaker 19 (54:02):
It's great to be here.

Speaker 20 (54:03):
By the way, but this question of USAID and what
we've seen over the last week since Marco Rubio at
the State Department has taken control and tried to.

Speaker 19 (54:15):
Make transparent some of the funding.

Speaker 25 (54:17):
Schemes going on there, has really got me and I
think a lot of people really heated, because it's very
clear that what USAID is doing is the exact opposite
of what is in the interests of United States and
the American people. And USAID really is a kind of
perfect microcosm of both the stupidity and the malice of

(54:40):
the unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who run our State Department
and use our tax dollars, the money that we make
and that should be helping our people and supporting our
interests instead goes to spreading this international ideology, what we
might just call international wokeism, for the benefit of their

(55:05):
own pockets and of their own interests, which again are
entirely divorced from the interests of the American people. So,
you know, I'm really glad that this is now out there,
that this is a discussion we're having, and what was
previously so opaque about some of this funding and this
waste is now open for everyone to see. I want

(55:28):
to thank by the way, data Republican, a great account
on Twitter. Yep also put together a tool at datarepublican dot.

Speaker 19 (55:35):
Com where you can go and search this stuff for yourself.

Speaker 25 (55:38):
So I encourage you to go to data republican dot com,
type in USAID to the grant search tool and see
what comes up. I just did this, okay, and here's
just one small sample of something I found. Thirty million
dollars going to an organization called Creative Associates International.

Speaker 19 (55:56):
What does Creative Associates International do?

Speaker 25 (56:00):
They fund women in the Guatemalan Highland to stitch their
own ponchos. They also fund vague community organizing efforts in
Burkina Fasso. I dare anyone listening this to explain to
me why that money being spent on ponchos in the

(56:20):
Guatemalan Highland is more appropriate than spending that money to
fix up let's say, the floods in North Carolina or
the fires that just devastated our people in California.

Speaker 11 (56:31):
And there's also some nefarious activity here as well, in
addition to the extraordinary talk about how this money is
also used in parallel with some of the nefarious goals
of our intelligencies.

Speaker 25 (56:48):
Yeah, so this is right, and I think you know,
this requires a kind of deep dive into the history
of the State Department.

Speaker 19 (56:54):
And some of our globalist policies.

Speaker 25 (56:56):
What some people like our friend Darren Beattie who's now
at the Department of State, has called the global American Empire,
which is really an offshoot of the neocons going back
to the Iraq War, in this idea that we could
spread democracy across the world and we would do that
by force. Initially, it turns out that you can't just
march an army into a place like Iraq or Afghanistan

(57:20):
and turn it into a liberal democracy.

Speaker 26 (57:22):
So over the.

Speaker 25 (57:23):
Last decade that strategy has transmographied. Now and we use
a kind of soft power, and we use this kind
of ideologic ideology of wokeness to impose the interests of
this global American empire on the rest of the world.

Speaker 19 (57:39):
A lot of this is represented in things.

Speaker 25 (57:42):
Like LGBTQI plus initiatives, things like environmental justice. You see
words like Latink's politics popping up all over the place
when you search for this stuff. Our friend Josh Howardzon,
he's a great account on Twitter. He mentioned, for example,
he found that a lot of Christian organizations and religious
organizations around the world, this money is dangled over their

(58:06):
head and there only they only get access to it so.

Speaker 19 (58:09):
Long as they allow for and accept the leftist activist.

Speaker 25 (58:15):
Views on things like LGTB issues and trans issues. Otherwise
this money disappears. So it's a way to sort of
force this ideology onto the rest of the world. A
quick history lesson here, Okay. I'm reminded of Tacitus, who,
writing about the Roman Empire and quoting a leader of

(58:37):
the Britons describing the wrath and devastation of the Roman
imperial army, had the quote, they make a desert and
they call it peace. And you might say something like
this about the global American Empire, which is we raise
a pride flag and we call it peace.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Otherwise one is the gay the.

Speaker 19 (59:00):
That's right, Gae, the global empire.

Speaker 11 (59:03):
Just by coincidence. But you make a really astute point,
which is that when we were told, for example, at
USAID by their defenders, well, we're sending American values abroad.
So we think we're sending like pocket constitutions to Aboriginal
tribes in Australia. Like wow, Like you're trying to tell

(59:27):
me that the poor people of Sudan are going to
learn about Thomas Jefferson.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
No.

Speaker 11 (59:31):
No, when they say we're sending American values, we are
sending gender transition clinics to Sri Lanka like we are.
We're sending the worst, lower, the lowest aspects of the
radical transagenda. We're sending gay pride flags to Thailand. We
are We're trying to convert the part of the world

(59:55):
that might not believe that there are two hundred and
forty two genders. And part of this is the evangelistic
component of the Great American modern Empire. The religion, the
state run religion is LGBTQ. Diversity is our strength LOMZ.

Speaker 19 (01:00:12):
So the divide here is very simple.

Speaker 25 (01:00:15):
There is the ideology of the global American empire. This
is what we call globalists broadly speaking. And then the
other foreign policy option that we have is a nationalist
American first foreign policy. USAID has been operating on the
globalist foreign policy ideology for the last several decades. Donald Trump,

(01:00:42):
Marco Rubio, our patriots now in charge of our government
are reasserting a foreign policy that.

Speaker 19 (01:00:51):
Prefers and supports.

Speaker 25 (01:00:54):
The interests of the American people over the rest of
the world. And part of this now is going to
be revising how we spend our money and returning that
money to the American people.

Speaker 11 (01:01:08):
That is so well said. I want to keep you
for another segment here, Lomez. I want to talk about
this ugly crusade that they're on right now to try
and docks and try and destroy and even murder, their
death threats towards these young engineers that Elon Musk has
brought in, these young prodigies that Elon has brought into
our government. How many times do you here, well, why

(01:01:30):
don't the best people want to go go into government?
We have the smartest whiz kids on the planet that
are right now working to make your government more efficient,
and left wingers are basically saying they want to murder
them online. That no exaggeration. We'll dive into those details
in just the second. Reliefactor dot com one hundred percent

We're interrupting this program for a special live report. This
has been a live special report.

Speaker 16 (01:02:20):
We know we are interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to
go to Washington, d C. The White House. Steve Whitcop
is speaking there. He of course, is the Middle East Envoy.
This speech coming, this media availability coming in advance of
net and Yahoo speaking there with President Trump later today.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
So this is can you come to the Night Space.

Speaker 26 (01:02:48):
I'm sorry, we're in phase two now, so we're in a.

Speaker 19 (01:02:51):
Seven year face too.

Speaker 27 (01:02:53):
I'm sharing ampervisor and mad with Prime Instctor last night,
guidelines and panders pursuing which we're knowing to be policy talks.

Speaker 5 (01:03:08):
Prime Minister.

Speaker 26 (01:03:13):
Thursday in Florida, going over all these days as.

Speaker 8 (01:03:19):
Well, So we are we dug in.

Speaker 28 (01:03:25):
Does that mean that he said you will end the
war and.

Speaker 26 (01:03:30):
That's part Well, phase two is Phase two has its
post as that's what we're observing, and that's how.

Speaker 15 (01:03:52):
Which is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
Does that mean that he said you will end the
war and withdraw from Gaza?

Speaker 26 (01:04:01):
That well, Phase two is, Phase two has its own
protocol attached to it, and that's what we're observing, and
that's how I would answer.

Speaker 29 (01:04:10):
That he will, he will work on all of the
hostages will be released in a time.

Speaker 26 (01:04:30):
Well, first of all, we're focused, uh, we're focused on
making sure that Phase one completes exactly as it should complete,
that all the hostages who are a part of that
deal come home, including bodies, because there are plenty of
families here who don't get their loved ones back, but
they just want to be able to bury them and
have certainty and have an anniversary date that they where

(01:04:53):
they can say a prayer for their for their children who.

Speaker 28 (01:04:55):
They've Palidian say that they want to go home to Gaza.
Mister President Trump has spoken about cleaning out Gaza, So
what does that look like? Would there be a situation
where you could forcibly remove people from Gaza?

Speaker 30 (01:05:14):
Well, I would push back on the characterization of cleaning
out Gaza. I think President Trump is looking at this
from a humanitarian standpoint. You have these people that are
sitting with literally thousands of unexploded ordnance in piles of rubble.
You know, at some point we have to look realistically,
how do you rebuild Gaza?

Speaker 7 (01:05:36):
What does that look like?

Speaker 30 (01:05:38):
What's the timeline? I think we a lot of people
were looking at very unrealistic timelines. We're talking ten to
fifteen years, not the five years, and so that is
what That's what we have to work through.

Speaker 7 (01:05:50):
That's part of what we'll work through with Prime Minister
in net Yahoo. So let me let me so let
me so let me so let me let me just.

Speaker 26 (01:05:59):
Let me just exp and on what the National Security
Advisor said, because we talk about this all the time
in any city in the United States of America, if
you had damage that was one hundredth of what I
saw in Gaza, and I went there at the direction
of the President and the National Security Advisor, so we
would know right up pant right, very specifically what was

(01:06:21):
going on. Nobody would be allowed to go back to
their homes. That's how dangerous it is. The thirty thousand
unexploded munitions. It is the buildings that could tip over
at any moment. There's no utilities there whatsoever, no working water,
electric gas, nothing. God knows what kind of disease might

(01:06:41):
be festering there. So when the President talks about cleaning
it out, he talks about making it habitable. And this
is a long range plan. They've dug tunnels underneath there
that have basically degraded the stone that you make that
would form foundations. We have to examine that with with borings.
You do it with UH subterranean UH surveys, and.

Speaker 7 (01:07:06):
This, guys, it's it's years on top of years.

Speaker 26 (01:07:09):
The disposal effort on on in Gaza is we estimate
three to five years just to dispose of all the
things before you can look down but believe beneath the
surface of the soil, and then before you get a
master plan done, and the President is intent on getting
it all done correctly. So to me, it is unfair

(01:07:30):
to have explained to Palestinians that they might be back
in five years.

Speaker 7 (01:07:34):
That's just preposterous, and he's just taking a common sense
Let's act like adults here offering their time to answer
your questions.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
You don't need to scream at them like a bunch
of school children.

Speaker 7 (01:07:55):
We just go ahead, Thank you very much, Steve.

Speaker 31 (01:07:58):
Just to follow up on ma, can you explain where
they are supposed to go, considering Jordan and Egypt have
been so adamant about the fact that they will not
take these Palestinians who do not want to be And secondly,
can you get some realistic expectations for a permanent ceasefire
and this Phase two deal when might.

Speaker 18 (01:08:19):
Start to work toward that.

Speaker 26 (01:08:21):
So as to where people will go, that's a big
issue and we have to solve that, and that's what
we're here to do, and that's what the President has
tasked us with.

Speaker 30 (01:08:30):
And we're looking and we're looking to a number of
our allies, partners in the region. We have to collectively
solve this problem. Everyone's heartbreaks for this war that Hamas
started and what has happened to these people that Hamas
was willing to sacrifice to turn global opinion against Israel.
But now we have to collectively come up with some problems,

(01:08:52):
and I think the President has taken a very common
sense approach.

Speaker 29 (01:08:57):
Next question, we'll go to sea.

Speaker 26 (01:09:00):
Having discussions with Jordan.

Speaker 32 (01:09:01):
You can have the completely ruled it out.

Speaker 26 (01:09:03):
It is still a matter of negotiating.

Speaker 30 (01:09:05):
King Abdullah is coming, is coming to visit the President
next week. We just had a call with President CC.
The President Trump is absolutely engaged on the issue, and
I think with his leadership, we'll be able to pull
some solutions together.

Speaker 7 (01:09:18):
And of course we have the Prime minister solutions.

Speaker 32 (01:09:30):
There's so much I'd like to ask prim Andy start
and now is coming here today? After the meeting you
had with him last night, we already saw with results.
Right after your meeting with him, he said he will
send his delegation to Daha for the negotiations.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
He didn't do that before the meeting. With wondering what's
going to happen.

Speaker 32 (01:09:57):
If you will tell President Trump, I don't I want
to end the war, and then you know the result
is not getting all the hostages.

Speaker 26 (01:10:05):
Well, First of all, I met with Prime Minister net
Yahoo with Mike, our National Security Advisor, and we had
a long session and it was a good session. And
so you saw his statement that he's sending a team there.
That's a team that's going there to negotiate, to discuss
all of these issues that we're talking about. Part of

(01:10:25):
the problem is that it wasn't such a wonderful agreement
that was first signed, that was not dictated by the
Trump administration.

Speaker 7 (01:10:32):
We had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 26 (01:10:34):
So now we're working within that rubric and we're figuring
things out. We were able to get to the right
place on phase one, we're hopeful we'll get to the
right place on phase two. And what me and the
National Security Advisor are identifying, which by the way President
Trump identified, is that phase three, the reconstruction can't is

(01:10:55):
not going to go the way that agreement talks about,
which is a five year program. It's physically imposed. And
so what we're trying to do is be transparent to
these people. If you go to Gaza today, I was there,
I witnessed it. You see people going there picking up
a tent and literally in some circumstances turning right around
again because there is nothing left there.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Do you believe me?

Speaker 31 (01:11:17):
Do you think a new deal now, maybe some other arrangements,
some other phases right now then was what discussed before?

Speaker 26 (01:11:27):
You know what, it's a this is a complicated deal,
and there's there's there's a lot to be considered here.
And if you talk to a person like Mike Waltz
or a person like Donald Trump, what they're going to
tell you is we need to level set the facts,
really unders understand the conditions right now in Gaza.

Speaker 7 (01:11:46):
And I'm giving you.

Speaker 26 (01:11:48):
A really granular view of the reality that exists there today.

Speaker 7 (01:11:52):
And can we just and can I just add to that?
Can I just add to that?

Speaker 30 (01:11:55):
There's rightly that our discussions will be focused on the
future of Gaza, the destruction of Hamas, and of course
getting our folks out. But there's so many opportunities now
in the region, largely thanks to Prime Minister net Yahoo
and Israeli leadership. With Hesba Llah destroyed, we have President

(01:12:15):
aun and that many people thought was an impossibility now
in charge in Lebanon, you have the dictator Assad gone
and in hiding in Russia. You have Iran really in
many ways on its back foot. We need to handle
and deal with the issues of the Huthis literally attacking

(01:12:36):
international shipping. That should be an international response, not all
of the burden on the United States. So we're asking
the Europeans to step up and help us with that issue.
So there's a lot of opportunity in the region and
mostly there is real optimism. And Steve saw this in
Tel Aviv. In Jerusalem, there are massive murals of President

(01:12:57):
Trump with families being reunited with their loved ones, thanking him.

Speaker 7 (01:13:01):
For his leadership.

Speaker 30 (01:13:02):
And I think we're on the prespass. We talked about
the next round of the Abraham Accords.

Speaker 7 (01:13:07):
That's the goal.

Speaker 30 (01:13:08):
If we're talking in UH in President Trump's term about
rail projects, UH, fiber optics, data centers, energy and getting
back to the piece that he had in his first term,
then that is a transformative success that only president.

Speaker 7 (01:13:30):
Here from the President directly later this afternoon, so we'll.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
See you there.

Speaker 16 (01:13:40):
So that was Steve Whitcoff, the Middle East Envoy for
President Trump, speaking there in advance of Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netah who's speaking at the White House with President Trump.
We're back in a moment. Welcome back to this Real

(01:14:04):
America's Voice news Break. I'm Terrence Bates. We appreciate you
being here with us. One of President Trump's more high
profile cabinet picks is moving out of committee into the
full Senate for confirmation.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
Robert F.

Speaker 16 (01:14:15):
Kennedy, Junior one confirmation before the Senate Finance Committee earlier
this morning. As expected, it came down to a party
line vote, with Kennedy getting fourteen Republicans to side with
him in thirteen Democrats voting against him. President Trump's choice
to head up the Department of Health and Human Services
can only afford three goped afections to be confirmed by

(01:14:36):
the full Senate. He was able to convince at least
one skeptical Republican during the committee confirmation process. Senator Bill
Cassidy of Louisiana, who also happens to be a medical doctor,
says that he had been quote struggling with the nominee's
views on vaccines and how those views could undermine the
public's faith in them, but taking to true social right

(01:14:58):
before today's vote. Thesian and a Republican, writing, with the
serious commitments I've received from the administration and the opportunity
to make progress on the issues we agree on, like
healthy foods in pro American agenda, I will vote yes. Meantime,
the art of the deal remains alive and well with
President Trump, as both Mexico and Canada are ready to

(01:15:18):
discuss terms following President Trump's threat of a twenty five
percent tariff that was initially set to go into effect today. Instead,
he is pressing pause for one month in order to
broker a better trade deal with both of those nations.
In the meantime, he says, Mexico's president has agreed to
send ten thousand Mexican troops to the US Mexico border,
specifically to stop the floor of fentanyl and iw legal

(01:15:40):
migrants into the country.

Speaker 8 (01:15:42):
Canada is justin.

Speaker 16 (01:15:43):
Trudeau reportedly are agreeing to additional cooperation when it comes
to securing the northern border as well. That's a quick
check off your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
One percent American maid darn proud of it. The Charlie
Kirk Show.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Okay, everybody, welcome back.

Speaker 11 (01:16:16):
Email US is always freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com.
That is freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Let me see
here we have the job Creators Network. I want to
tell you, guys about this great opportunity.

Speaker 8 (01:16:29):
Job.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Creators Network does amazing work.

Speaker 11 (01:16:33):
There's a lot of excitement in DC as we start
out this year, but I wanted to talk to you
about something just as exciting happening outside the DC Beltway.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
A revolution in the States. It's the freedom education movement.
It's real.

Speaker 11 (01:16:43):
It's growing and growing because some states, as they should,
are putting parents in charge of the education of their kids.
Everyone knows education has the power to change a kid's life,
and anyone who's raised a child knows each has different needs,
learning styles, and God given talents. The fact is parents
know know their own children best. They know it's best

(01:17:05):
for their development in future. Education freedom legislation puts parents,
not zip codes and politicians in charge of these important
family decisions. That's why I strongly support making universal education
freedom a reality for every.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Parent in every state.

Speaker 11 (01:17:19):
To find out where your state legislature stands, and to
make sure your voice is heard, go to Educationfreedom dot com.
Now that is educationfreedom dot com. Education Freedom USA dot com.
I'm sorry, Education Freedom USA dot com. That is education
Freedom USA dot com. Education freedom legislation puts parents, not

(01:17:39):
zip codes in charge of these important decisions, education, freedom
USA dot com. Do you guys remember that bizarre moment
that was almost like the cultural bottom. It was like
the cultural canon, the bottom of the bottom, where we
hit the valley when Matt Freak Dylan mulvaney was paid

(01:18:05):
to promote bud Light. Seems as if that was the
low point of the kind of cultural four years well.
Joining us now is Anson Fredericks or Freris, author of
Last Call for bud Light. Anson, welcome to the program.
Thank you for being here. You are a former president

(01:18:26):
of Anheuser Busch, so I know you have a lot
to share. How on earth did that all happen? And
take us back in time? Floor is yours?

Speaker 33 (01:18:35):
Yeah, no, Charlie, thank you so much for having me today.
And you're absolutely right. I mean, this really was sort
of the tipping point. And when bud Light did the
sponsor with Dylan mulvaney, and I think that was a
red pill moment for most of America when they said
we've just had enough of corporations getting involved.

Speaker 8 (01:18:48):
In political issues.

Speaker 33 (01:18:50):
We saw when the NFL got involved with having half
their players neil and accepted it. We saw companies like
Disney who all of a sudden were promoting all of
a sudden rights.

Speaker 19 (01:19:00):
And Florida issues that were going on.

Speaker 33 (01:19:02):
And then when bud Light, i mean, the most American
of brands, the most American of beers, all of a
sudden starts doing this controversial partnership with Dyll Molvani, this
is really when people had enough. And this is when
you actually saw customers left and droves. They've lost millions
of customers, the company lost billions of dollars of shareholder value,
their profits plunged by two billion dollars as well. And
this is when, all of a sudden, you actually saw

(01:19:23):
more companies take a step back and look at some
of them really controversial, divisive DEI and ESG policies that
have been implemented across corporate America by sort of the
Biden administration, by asset managers like black Rocks, State Street, Vanguard,
by a bunch of consultants like McKinsey. And this is
when all of a sudden, corporations actually took a step
back and said, you know, maybe we don't need all this,

(01:19:44):
Maybe this isn't good for business. Maybe we need to
sort of reevaluate where we are as a company. And
all the pendulum is starting to swing back. This is
still very relevant. You've seen certain companies like McDonald's, like Walmart,
and like Tractor Supply Company kind of step back, but
other companies really leaning in this. Just this week you
have Costco, JP Morgan have doubled down on their DEI policies.

(01:20:04):
And then now there's been a lawsuit that's been filed
by a lot of DEI officers at companies that are
trying to undo some of Trump's recent legislative agenda. So
this is very much still a topic that is alive,
and I think we're going to not be seeing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
The end of the DII movement anytime soon. So it's
just amazing to me.

Speaker 11 (01:20:22):
So I want to get into the details here of
your book and your experience. But in April of twenty
twenty three, if my timeline is correct, they decided to
make Dylan mulvaney one of the faces of bud Light
and kind of do this whole thing. And the stock
price was at sixty five dollars and fifty two share
cents a share. Now it's at forty eight dollars and

(01:20:45):
seventy five cents a share. You're a former president of
Anheuser Busch. Do you believe that this decision and the
backlot lash has contributed in this nearly twenty percent decline
in their stock over the last year and a half.

Speaker 19 (01:21:00):
Absolutely it has, Charlie.

Speaker 33 (01:21:02):
I mean, you've just seen that bud Light, which was
the biggest beer brand in America, had lost thirty percent
of their sales, thirty percent of their customers. Other brands
that they have, Budweiser, plunged as deeply, and then even
to growth brands they have michelob Ultraum and bush Light,
all a sudden those started plunging also, So it's had
a huge effect on.

Speaker 19 (01:21:19):
The stock prist.

Speaker 33 (01:21:19):
At the same time, the broader stock market has been
up almost forty percent. So bud Light brown twenty thirty percent,
broader stock market up forty percent.

Speaker 19 (01:21:27):
So it's had a massive effect.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
And it's not just a bud Light.

Speaker 33 (01:21:30):
Companies like Target very similar when Target two years ago
got involved in Pride Month and they were having the
tuck friendly bathing suits, as you might recall, their stock
is down double digits over that time period, where their
biggest competitor, Walmart, who Walmart has taken a big step
back Walmart ditched their device of DEI policies, they were
more folks on the customer. Walmart stock has doubled over
that same time period, so I think it's very clear

(01:21:52):
that you're starting to see this really diversion happen. Companies
that are leading into controversial deiesg agendas, they continued to
shed customers, whereas ones that are kind of sticking to
the up for their customers, just focused on providing great
products and services, sticking to their mission. Those businesses are
going to thrive, especially, I think in the coming years,
and I think those businesses are going to add a ton.

Speaker 19 (01:22:13):
Of value to their share price.

Speaker 33 (01:22:15):
And then also I think they're going to add a
lot value to just our broader sort of American environment.
You know, the private sector and companies used to be
an area where people could come together, whether you were black, white, gay, straight, democrat,
publican who cares and just work on the mission of
a company, be united around that. And then all of
a sudden, the workplace became a very fragment environment over
the last couple of years, with companies taking very controversial

(01:22:37):
stands on defund the police initiatives, on overturning election integrity
laws Roe v. Wade and there was no reason for this.
I think that you're further inflamed a lot of the
division in this country. Some companies have learned their lesson,
I think other companies have not, and that that sort
of messages I think still being written, will continue to
be written over the next couple of years, and we'll
see really some companies separate themselves and others continue to

(01:22:59):
fall by behind based off who's going to get involved
in political issues moving forward.

Speaker 11 (01:23:03):
So Anson, help me understand. Tell us the internal story.
How did this come to pass? How did we go
from Clyesdale's to trainees with beer. Yeah, there's a short
story in the long story.

Speaker 20 (01:23:18):
So the.

Speaker 33 (01:23:20):
Short story is is that the company really they adopted
really divisive ESG and DEI policies.

Speaker 19 (01:23:27):
Now, a lot of corporate America was doing this at
the exact same.

Speaker 33 (01:23:30):
Time they adopted these policies because a lot of people
that own Annheuser Busch tend to be these large asset
managers like Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard that get a lot
of their money from progressive institutions like the State of California,
State of New York, European sovereign wealth funds, and there
was a big push by these organizations, especially when Trump
was first elected and pulled out of global organizations like

(01:23:52):
the Paris Climate Accord, You and Human Rights Coalition, World
Health Organization, that all of these large progressive institutions said,
if now Trump and government is not going to solve
these so called existential crises of climate change, of systemic racism,
of police brutality, then all of a sudden, we need
corporations to do this. And for large, mostly New York

(01:24:13):
and East Coast based institutions like Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard
that managed twenty trillion dollars worth of capital, those were
the ones that all of a sudden were the single
largest shareholders in companies like Annhezer Busch, Target, Disney, and
they started telling these companies that we need you to
start solving all these problems, and the companies really, unfortunately
didn't have much of an opportunity to push back because

(01:24:36):
these companies they vote for shareholder proposals every single year.
At companies, they put companies in ESG index funds, which
is our funds that you invest money into hoping that
the companies are going to return return capital and they
were threatened to be not putting these funds or to
not have the support of these large asset managers that
were using other people's money to foice these policies on them,

(01:24:57):
and so, unfortunately an hazer Bush was uniquely succeptible. The
company was bought by a European company called Indev about
ten years ago. This European company allowed them to unfortunately
switch the ideology away from sort of American values and
just focus on the bottom line, focusing on shareholders more
towards this European model of being being beholden to your stakeholders,

(01:25:18):
being involved in programs like ESG and DEI.

Speaker 19 (01:25:21):
So the company all of a sudden.

Speaker 33 (01:25:22):
Switched their focus from Clydesdale's winning the Super Bowl Admeter
award every single year.

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
Here totally the greatest ads there were, yes.

Speaker 19 (01:25:30):
Greatest, greatest.

Speaker 8 (01:25:31):
This was by far the company that.

Speaker 33 (01:25:32):
Was the best in terms of winning Super Bowl ad
They won more of them than any other company, but
happened won one since twenty eleven.

Speaker 11 (01:25:39):
And that was one of the reasons why That was
one of the reasons why everyone got so upset is
that this wasn't Patagonia, which was well known as like
a left wing environmental company. This is Heartland, Saint Louis
as good as it gets right, beer drinking, just great
American And all of a sudden, they too were kind
of bending the knees. So were they just like trying

(01:26:02):
to be trend followers? Did people inside the company warn them?
What was the process that this actually went about? These
guys were trend followers. They were not leaders.

Speaker 33 (01:26:11):
This used to be a company that was leaders in America,
leaders in terms of setting culture, leaders about humor, and
to your point, they had a clear mission historically. But
Light was supposed to be easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
It was the most popular beer in America because I
was enjoyed by people across the political spectrum.

Speaker 19 (01:26:27):
Everybody loved Bud Likes is about.

Speaker 33 (01:26:28):
Humor, It was about football, It was about bringing people together.

Speaker 19 (01:26:30):
It was authentic. It was not Ben and Jerry's.

Speaker 33 (01:26:32):
Ben and Jerry is a brand that tells you that
we use advance as socially progressive mission. So great, if
you're eating Ben and Jerry's, it's free market, you know,
go eat it. You know that you're going to be
supporting defund the police causes and giving land back to
Native Americans and all kinds of things Ben and Jerry's does.
But if you drink but Light, you were just about
I mean, this is using the VP of but Light.
At the marketing, it was kind of a fraddy beer,

(01:26:54):
that's what it was. And it was a fun beer.
It was kind of the life of the party. And
that's what they really lost when they started to when
they tried to switch the company more from just one
folks that's mission easy drink, easy joy, to one that
was about a more socially progressive beer. And that's where
they really got caught, Charlie, when all of a sudden
they do this partnership with Dylan Mlvani, it blows up
in their face. You have kid Rock that's using AR

(01:27:15):
fifteen to be able to take out a bunch of
bud like cases. And now the company all of a sudden,
because they had adopted an ESG DEI policy, they couldn't
apologize to their loyal customer base. But they couldn't also
go and say that we're kind of more about the
Ben and Jerry so brand because they're going to lose
even more.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Sales really quick.

Speaker 11 (01:27:33):
Thirty second, I want you to plug your book and
answer this question in one minute, we type stop, do
you think they've learned their lesson?

Speaker 33 (01:27:40):
So in the book Last Call for bud Light, I
don't think they've learned their lesson because here's the deal.
This company's ever going to be redeemed in their customers.
Really the path to redemption it goes through forgiveness. But
to be forgiven, you have to admit that there was
a mistake. So I think this book it talks about
not only the mistake of broader corporate America getting involved
ESGDI programs that didn't live over an a shareholder value

(01:28:04):
and more divisive, but it really uses the story of
bud Light and uses the story of this company to
tell that story to really make it make it easy
to understand for folks because bud Light was the biggest brand.
So would love you to read Last Call for bud
Light learn more about what went wrong in corporate America,
Thank you Anson, and to learn what blud Light needs
to do to move forward get its customer base back.

Speaker 11 (01:28:23):

To watch this program live on the man in including
Jack's program every day.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Okay, everybody, welcome back.

Speaker 11 (01:31:40):
I'm going to thank my great friend Jack Pasovic for
stepping in for me for our third hour. He's a
great addition to the Salem Radio Network.

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
And Jack is here. Jack, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 8 (01:31:51):
Charlie.

Speaker 34 (01:31:52):
I just want to say thanks so much by the
way Salem Network, incredible network that they've done. I was
a longtime listener to Bill Bennett in the mornings, so
it's incredible to be there at nine to ninety am
in Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
So Jack Talk about it.

Speaker 11 (01:32:08):
You're going to be doing your show would also be
simulcasted on Salem Radio Network.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Tell us about it.

Speaker 8 (01:32:15):
Well, that's right.

Speaker 34 (01:32:15):
So's it's really just kind of a happy accident in
many ways. Or perhaps you know, you could say we
planned it that way, given that it was a Charlie
Kirk idea, it was probably planned.

Speaker 5 (01:32:23):
Out in advanced that way.

Speaker 34 (01:32:24):
But so it's you know, you had the twelve to three,
but then my show was always sort of two to three,
and so the idea being that we were up on
Real America's Boys at that time, but then you were
covering down two to three on both and so we
were sort of simultaneously overlapping each other. So it turned
out to be that when we were looking at this

(01:32:46):
third hour, said okay, what could we do with it?
That hey, I was already doing a show in that
hour to begin with, and so it just sort of
made sense to say, well, why don't we just put
that show out?

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
And being able to have a few conversations with the
Salem tea and having them.

Speaker 34 (01:33:01):
Understand that I'm not only all about what their values are,
but in many ways I was able to learn the
values of the conservative movement and actually learn what it
means to be in a conservative in America by just
listening to Salem and in fact, for people who for
people to even know the deeper backstory, Human events dot
Com was actually under Salem at one point and.

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
It later went independent.

Speaker 34 (01:33:26):
But now I kind of feel like it's almost like
Human Events and Salem are rekindling that great partnership, and
so it's an incredible place to be with everything that's
going on in our country.

Speaker 11 (01:33:36):
So Jack, this is a total Blitzkreg right now that
we're seeing from President Trump talk about the media strategy
of flooding the zone and overwhelming the system.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
Do you think it's working, well.

Speaker 34 (01:33:47):
Charlie, it's absolutely working. Look, I talked to journalists a
lot frequently, a lot more frequently than in the past.
You know, we used to have this more antagonistic relationship,
but suddenly they realized that, oh, if they want to
actually know what's going on, we might have to talk
to people like Jack Posovic or a Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 5 (01:34:01):
And they're all telling me, we can't keep up.

Speaker 34 (01:34:04):
What you guys are doing is so fast, and they
don't realize how many years people in this movement have
spent studying these issues and understanding these notes.

Speaker 5 (01:34:14):
So you've got Mike Benz on USID. That's just one spot.

Speaker 34 (01:34:18):
If you think that was big way to see what
comes next when it comes to Tulsa, Gabrin, the Intelligence
Community RFK, with the MAHA movement, with the FDA and
the FTC even a little bit, and a number of
these places. And so they didn't realize that President Trump
had this ability with this all star team to put together,
to go through and be firing down on multiple avenues,

(01:34:40):
multiple verticals at the same time in a place where
they don't even know where.

Speaker 5 (01:34:45):
To put their resources because look at the corporate media.

Speaker 34 (01:34:48):
They've actually been downsizing over the past couple of years.
Why because people are checking out of corporate media. And
then Elon comes in with X, and what does X do?
X democratizes information.

Speaker 8 (01:34:59):
You can go right on there.

Speaker 5 (01:35:00):
You can post anything boom.

Speaker 34 (01:35:01):
You can see what's going on in any one of
these verticals, and there's no censorships. You don't have anyone
telling you what you need to think. You can actually
go You could watch this program, you could watch a hearing.
You can see what's happening.

Speaker 8 (01:35:12):
You can look up.

Speaker 5 (01:35:13):
Research, you've got Grock, You've got all these different features.
It is fantastic.

Speaker 34 (01:35:17):
And so what President Trump has done is utilize this
in his team, the comms team with Stephen Chung, with
Caroline Levitt as the Press Secretary.

Speaker 5 (01:35:26):
They've understood that.

Speaker 34 (01:35:28):
The way to get ahead of the media is to
literally drive faster. Caroline Levitt just a couple of minutes
ago announced that these illegal alien flaves are already beginning
down to Guantanamo.

Speaker 13 (01:35:40):
Baby.

Speaker 5 (01:35:40):
Media hasn't even been able to pick up on any
of this yet.

Speaker 34 (01:35:43):
Because it's all moving way faster than and I'm sorry, guys,
you're going to have to start working or you're going
to be left in our dust.

Speaker 11 (01:35:51):
That is right, Jack, in the one minute remaining, what
is on the horizon that you're looking at right now,
big fights where the MAGA faith will need to be
aware and manning the ramparts.

Speaker 34 (01:36:02):
Well, look, we know Tulsey Gabbart, that's going to come
out in a couple of minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:36:05):
I feel good about this vote right here.

Speaker 34 (01:36:07):
Of course, all of this goes down to the floor though,
So you got Bobby Kennedy, Cash Pttel, Tulsi Gabbert. It
still has to go down to a floor vote. A
lot of people think the committee vote is the floor vote.

Speaker 13 (01:36:16):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
It's wonky. It's the system. We have to work with
what we have.

Speaker 34 (01:36:19):
But understand, none of these people have been confirmed until
they're confirmed by the United States Senate. And there's some
senators out there, Charlie who I think might need a
little bit of our attention, maybe just to hold their
hand as we walk them down the aisle so that
they can go and make sure to confirm the president's cabinet.

Speaker 11 (01:36:37):
Very good, Jack, good luck. You have a program in
about twenty seconds, so get ready for that. Jack, thanks
so much.

Speaker 8 (01:36:45):
We'll be all right, Charlie. Thanks man.

Speaker 11 (01:36:47):
