Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
The Charlie Kirk Show starts.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
My mother was an activist for reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights,
and she took me to Pride parades back when, well,
they weren't really parades, they were protests.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
So I have to laugh.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
When I hear the right wing carry on about the
dangers of exposing kids to trans people or same sex couples,
because I'm living proof that introducing your kids to the
gay agenda might result in them growing up to be governor.

Speaker 6 (00:54):
This morning, early this morning, one of the top leaders
of MS thirteen was apprehended. He was the leader for
the East Coast, one of the top three in the
entire country. He is an illegal alien from El Salvador,
and he will not be living in our country much longer.

Speaker 7 (01:12):
Let's talk about the newsroom.

Speaker 8 (01:13):
You have eighty seven registered Democrats, not a single Republican
in your editor boards. I mean, how does that work
to give us the perception that you're doing your job
of actually delivering unbiased information.

Speaker 9 (01:26):
Well, I would agree with you that that number is
a concern if it is accurate. I do believe that
we need to have journalists who represent the full breadth
of the American society so that we can report well
for all Americans.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
No matter how many surgeries you have or chemicals you inject,
if you're born with male DNA in every cell, if
your body, you can never become a woman.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
You're not going to be a woman.

Speaker 10 (01:47):
Let me ask you, why did you call President Trump
a fascists and a deranged racist sociopath in twenty.

Speaker 9 (01:53):
Twenty, Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I
regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today.
They represented a time where I was reflecting on something
that I believe that the President had said, rather than
who he is.

Speaker 11 (02:06):
I don't presume that anyone is a racist.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Which you don't believe anyone is a racist.

Speaker 11 (02:11):
I don't start by presuming anyone as a racist.

Speaker 12 (02:13):
Well, Caylen, send you on Nally. Do I want to
talk about the VA I have a question as via secretary,
and I would like to know why CNN is hostile
to veterans, especially one in Florida where you just had
a five million dollar defamation suit taking a fence at
a veteran who is trying to help people.

Speaker 13 (02:28):
Ultimately, the buck stops with the President of the United
States of America, which is why I made clear to
President Trump yesterday and my correspondence that the Secretary of
Defense should be fired immediately if he's not man enough
to own up to his mistakes and resign and disgrace.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Nobody's texting war plans.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Well, I noticed this morning.

Speaker 14 (02:50):
Out came something that doesn't look like war plans.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
And as a matter of fact, they even changed the title.

Speaker 14 (02:56):
To attack plans because they know it's not war plans.
There's no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths,
no sources, no methods, no classified information.

Speaker 15 (03:12):
So billions have gone into both of your coffers over
the last several decades. And I understand why Democrats on
this committee are going to viciously and vehemently defend you
all because you become a propaganda wing.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 15 (03:26):
Sixty seven percent of your viewers and listeners identify as Democrat,
with only twelve percent conservative, and you've become a sandbox
for leftist propagandists to frolic on taxpayer dime and no more.
And when you said in the beginning, you're going to
promote a symphony of ideological viewpoints, yeah, you do if
you are left leaning left, far left or remarkable marks
and steal back.

Speaker 16 (03:47):
I heard Seacat today and visiting this facility, and first
of all, I want to thank El Salvador and their
president for their partnership with the United States of America
to bring our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and
have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated in
our communities. I also want everybody to know if you
come to our country illegally, this is one of the
consequences you could face. First of all, do not come

(04:09):
to our country illegally. You will be removed and you
will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one
of the tools in our toolkit that we will use
if you commit crimes against the American people.

Speaker 17 (04:20):
This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,
and we're going to continue to let good cops be
cops across this country. This is the mandate we have.
But thanks to the brave leadership of this administration and
the folks that you see here, we are returning our
communities to safety.

Speaker 18 (04:35):
Let me just say, as a Minnesota Pete Haigseth is
the worst export from Minnesota that we've ever seen, right,
and let me be honest about something.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
His actions is very.

Speaker 19 (04:48):
Undisciplined way of communicating put Americans lives at risk, right,
and he needs to either resign or be fired.

Speaker 18 (05:01):
Every day is a battle for your mind, raging information
coming from every angle.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
But the will to the sieve, fear not.

Speaker 18 (05:09):
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.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot here
we go.

Speaker 19 (05:23):
Wow, Okay, everybody, radio stations across the country. I interview
with you as always, Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.
We have a very important show here today. The signal
situation is continuing, and I would love to no longer
talk about this. It is my preference to go talk
about other issues that are occurring right now. There's a
lot of good things happening. Our southern border is secure.
Governor Christy numb is going and she's visiting El Salvadorian prisons.

(05:46):
But this is a very very important story, and let
me tell you why, because it is revealing a fault
line of actually what divides the Republican Party. The Republican
Party is not divided based on domestic policy. We're actually
largely in agreement. We want low taxes, we want economic freedom,
even deportations. You're not going to find a lot of
fight amongst rank and file Republican senators about this. Instead,

(06:08):
the fault line, the dividing line in the Republican Party
is foreign policy.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
It is foreign policy.

Speaker 19 (06:14):
It's whether or not you want to continue the Great
American Empire, if you want to invade more sovereign countries,
if you believe the Iraq War in the Afghanistan War
were a success or a mistake. The jd vance America
First force that President Trump has been pushing forward to
the President trump jadvance force, i should say, is one
of America First, not America only, but America First, where

(06:38):
the other side of the Republican Party is America everywhere,
all the time, regardless of the costs, the consequences, or
the issues that we might intentionally or unintentionally may happen.
The fallout from the signal chat is revealing this fault line.
It is revealing the fault line because on one side
you have the neo conservatives.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
On the other side. You have the realists.

Speaker 19 (07:01):
You have the America First patriots, and they are trying
to use this as an opportunity the neo conservatives on
Capitol Hill, the neo conservatives within our deep state of
government to remove the good guys in our administration. So
you have two teams here. I'm going to break it through.
No one else is making this analysis right now, because
I happen to be in the weeds on this. I'm
telling you exactly what's occurring. Number one, there is a

(07:24):
coordinated hit. There is a concerted attack. There is a
collaborative strike against Pete Hegseth. Front page the Wall Street Journal.
Hegseth faces rising scrutiny over security breach on chat.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Front page of the New York Times.

Speaker 19 (07:43):
Right here leaked signal chat excerpts on the signal chat
published Wednesday. It's all about Pete Hegseth. Now understand, whose
job is it to make sure that established order is
followed in military communications? First and foremost, it's actually the
National Security Advisor's job.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
It is Mike.

Speaker 19 (08:03):
Waltz and his team to even say, hey, Pete, we
should not be having this conversation here.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Who set up the chat? Did Pete Hegseth set up
the group chat.

Speaker 19 (08:12):
No no, no, Mike Waltz and Alex Wong set up
the group chat. Not Pete heg Seth. Pete Hegseth merely
participated in it.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Should he have done that?

Speaker 19 (08:22):
Maybe maybe not signals an approved device said it wasn't
classwid information. But what you're seeing all of a sudden
as a response is someone who is not responsible for
this under any fair analysis, is getting all of the
media's scrutiny. It's a coordinated attack on our friend of

(08:45):
this program, Pete Hegseth, and we are not going to
put up with this. They are trying to they being
the neo conservative on Capitol Hill. I'm going to tell
you who they are named by name to now go
remove Pete Hegseth. And remember how hard we had to
fight to get Pete Hegseeth across the finish line.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
We had the whole joney earned situation.

Speaker 19 (09:01):
Mitch McConnell voted against him, We had to go to
fifty votes and Jade Vance had to break the tie.
And they are now trying to remove Pete hegg Seth
because Pete Hegseth.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Is not a warmonger.

Speaker 19 (09:11):
What bothered them the most about the signal chat is
not the fact that they were using signal to discuss.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Quote unquote tech plans or war plans.

Speaker 19 (09:19):
What bothered them is Pete Hegseth and Jade Vance are
simpatico in a prudent use of American force and a
cautious foreign policy perspective, not a belligerent one, not a
aggressive one, not a George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John
Bolton view of American foreign policy that gave us the

(09:42):
failures over the last twenty thirty years. What bothered the
people on Capitol Hill is the fact that Jade Vance
and Pete Hegseth have a much more nuanced worldview to
put America and Americans first. So the hit is underway
against Pete Hegseth, but it's not just Pete Hegseth. Also,
there was an article this morning and The Jewish Insider

(10:03):
citing seven US Senators attacking jdie Vance for what he
was saying in the group chat this morning, and those
seven US Senators were all anonymous.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
The seven US.

Speaker 19 (10:16):
Senators refused to even go on the record. This is
revealing the fault line of the actual divide in the
Republican Party, and it is foreign policy. You know who
else shares Cheney and George W. Bush views.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
It's Jeffrey Goldberg.

Speaker 19 (10:34):
He was a fake news hack used to stoke the
Iraq War coincidence. Maybe, So what's really going on here
is a fight for the soul of our Republican Party.
It's not about signal group chats. It's not about security,
it's not about any of that.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Hocus pocus stuff.

Speaker 19 (10:53):
It's not about Roger Wicker, who's sending this ridiculous letter
from Mississippi saying, but we need to have a Department
of Defense ig investigation. Do you notice that none of
them on Capitol Hill, from Tom Cotton to Roger Wicker,
are drawing any fire on the person that actually created
this group chat or his lieutenant, Alex Wang. Do you

(11:16):
notice that they're not criticizing Mike Waltz at all, that
they're not going after Alex Wong, his deputy, who's the
one that was responsible for putting this all together. No, Instead,
out of nowhere, it's Pete Hegseth's fault. What is that
all about. It's because they want to remove Pete hegg
Seth regardless of this entire situation. Oh, and it gets

(11:39):
even richer than this. So Alex Wong is the Deputy
National Security Advisor under Mike Waltz. Alex Wang discovered by
Laura Lumer. His wife, Candace chu Wong, worked under the
Obama administration and the Biden administration as an assistant US
attorney in the USA Attorney's Office. Oh, she was involved

(12:02):
in the prosecution of many January six ers. This guy
is married to someone that was locking up our patriots,
Mike Waltz.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
According to reporting that I've heard.

Speaker 19 (12:13):
Mike Waltz still has a ton of Biden holdovers in
the Trump National Security Office, a ton people that have
donated to Kamala Harris. They're still working in the National
Security Agency right now in the Trump White House.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Mike Waltz has defended them.

Speaker 19 (12:29):
So why is it that Pete Hegseth gets all the criticism,
But Mike Waltz and Alex Wong are just kind of
skating by. They're not on the front page of the
New York Times, They're not on the front page the
Wall Street Journal. It's a little bizarre, isn't it. It's
because Waltz can be replaced easy, easily. It's barely a win.
And also Mike Waltz is friends with all of these
neo conservatives. Let me show it to you out of nowhere.

(12:53):
Tom Cotton, the chief warmonger on Capitol Hill, the head
of the Senate Intel Community Committee, tweets out this morning
a defense of Alex Wong. Remember Tom Cotton has been
behind trying to stop Elbridge Colby. Tom Cotton was the
one that was pushing against Tulsi Gabbard. And they're back

(13:14):
for revenge. The military industrial complex VIO, the neo conservatives
on the Senate Hill are back for revenge against our
America First movement, and they are all after Pete Hegseth.
This simultaneous strike against Pete Hegseth is not a mistake.
It is a coordinated plan. It is a unified, synchronized attack.

(13:35):
It is orchestrated. So Tom Cotton tweets out this morning,
and no one asked Tom Cotton is opinion them this
Alex Wong and his wife Candace are completing total patriots.
Oh so Tom Cotton thinks Candas is a total patriot,
even though she was the one that was locking up
January sixth, protesters. Really, Tom Cotton one hundred percent MAGA
warriors who always put America first.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
That's quite a statement.

Speaker 19 (13:59):
For three years, Alex worked hard for me until President
Trump smartly hired him away. Oh, he worked for you
to go try to have war plans against every sovereign
country that we shouldn't invade. Interesting, Remember Tom Cotton is
like the chief cheerleader to send more money to Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Number one.

Speaker 19 (14:19):
America is safer and better off with Alex in the
White House. Thank you for your service, Alex. What a
weird flex, Tom Cotton. We didn't ask you for your
opinions on Alex Wong. And do you think this actually
helps the case? The facts you're defending Alex Wong makes
us a very suspicious because you are chief warmonger USA.
You are number one. You are the new Dick Cheney
of the Republican Party. It's obvious, we see it, we

(14:41):
know it. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. And
let me tell you right now our movement will awaken
from its slumber if you dare lay a hand on
Pete Hegseth or the America First patriots that are in
this cabinet. Try to defend Alex Wong and the warmonger
cabal that you guys want to keep keep on having
in this administration. We would have been happy to move

(15:03):
on from this story. I didn't want to talk about
the signal story. I'm sick of it. It's over whatever.
You made a mistake. But all of a sudden, I
wake up to both the Wall Street Journal and the
New York Times and we have Pete Hegseth receiving all
this fire, and we got Roger Wicker sending, oh, we
need a DoD independent investigator investigation, and I know we
see what's happening here. This is an op. This is
an OP where you are trying to take out a big,

(15:26):
big scalp, someone that you never wanted to be a
DoD secretary. And guess who wanted to be DoD secretary himself.
Tom Cotton wanted to be head of the DoD and
he didn't get it, and he's bitter and spiteful.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
That's really what's going on. We'll be right back.

Speaker 18 (15:50):
From the campus to the car, the bullhorn to the microphone.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
It's the Charlie Kirk Show.

Speaker 19 (15:56):
Welcome back, everybody, Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

That is why refi dot com, Why r e f

(17:03):
y dot com? Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 19 (17:26):
We have to see the fourth from the trees on
all this, we have to take a step back and realize,
Wait a second, why is it that Hakeem Jeffries and
Pete Buddha Jedge like who asked him? And the DNC
chair and Jason Crow and the National Review. That's right,
the National Review are all saying that Pete Hegseth should

(17:46):
be fired or resigned. So let's put this one up.
Let's start with the National Review because they pretend to
be on the right, so they put this up the
National Review, Trump should fire Pete Hegseth.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
It's weird.

Speaker 19 (18:01):
Did you say we should fire Mike Waltz or Alex Wong,
the person who brought Jeffrey Goldberg into the chat, the
person who created this?

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Oh but no, Pete Hegseth? Really?

Speaker 19 (18:18):
Oh you mean you wanted to get rid of Pete anyway,
even though Pete had nothing to do with this controversy.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Nothing.

Speaker 19 (18:28):
And then Senator Mark Kelly's coming out, and then the
Wall Street Journal in the New York Times, they're beating
this drum all about heg Seth. And this should be
a little disorienting to you because it has nothing to
do with Pete Hegseth. There were seventeen or eighteen people
on this chat. John Radcliffe was on the chat, Stephen

(18:51):
Miller was on the chat. Tulca Gabbard was on the chat.
Maybe there's something else going on here. Maybe the Roger
Wickers and the Cotton's don't care for Pete very much?
Are they defending him? Has anybody in the media that
is not on the right called for the resignation of
Mike Waltz. If not, that's awfully strange. I'm not even

(19:12):
calling for the resignation of Mike Walls. I'm not saying that,
But I'm saying, if all of a sudden, you're gonna
bizarrely pick one out of the eighteen Pete Hegseth, explain
yourself exactly why is it that you're picking Pete Because
you don't want Pete to be in charge of the
US military, because he's doing stuff you don't like. He's
dewokeifying it, he's challenging government contracts. He's pushing back against

(19:36):
the hyper aggressive posture in Russia and Ukraine. If anyone
should resign, maybe it's the people that created the group
chat and invited Jeffrey Goldberg. Pete haik Seth did not
Invitejeffrey Goldberg. At the most, you could say Pete hegg
Seth should not have been participating in the group Chat.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Fine, he's new on the job.

Speaker 19 (19:57):
It's a government approved device, it's a proved messaging platform.
That is a completely different threshold of the person who
invited the editor and the chief of the Atlantic and
are any of them being going to be held accountable
all of a sudden, we have to now be hypnotized
to believe that Pete Hegseth is the problem. Now, look,
let me tell you this, President Trump is awesome. The
chances of anything happened to be hegset.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Is very little.

Speaker 19 (20:17):
That's not the point. The point is who's calling for it.
Roger Wicker, this morning, we should put this up. Roger
Wicker sent out a letter trying to now tie up
Pete Hegseth. Why do we need Democrats if we have
Republicans like this? This morning, Roger Wicker sent a letter

(20:39):
to the Department of Defense Inspector General demanding the IG
to now go investigate Pete Hegseth.

Speaker 20 (20:47):
Hm.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
That's interesting. So they write a letter.

Speaker 19 (20:56):
To the Department of Defense saying the IG should now
tie at Pete hegg set At the time looking into
this text message, Has anybody on Capitol Hill called for
an investigation to Mike Waltz?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Why not?

Speaker 19 (21:09):
Has Hakeem jeffries Arner? These Democrats called for Mike Waltz
to resign. Here's just one of many two sixty four.

Speaker 13 (21:20):
That's what the President of the United States of America,
which is why I made clear to President Trump yesterday
and my correspondence that the Secretary of Defense should be
fired immediately if he's not man enough to own up
to his mistakes and resign and disgrace.

Speaker 19 (21:36):
That's strange, Hakim, did you not call for the resignation
of Mike Waltz?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Why not?

Speaker 19 (21:41):
Because he's not a threat to you guys, Because he
might be leaking to the Atlantic. We don't know. Maybe
Mike Waltz is back channeling to all you guys. I
don't know. But Pete hegg Seth certainly isn't Republicans got
strong armed into approving the nomination of Pete hegg Seth.
They would love to undo that vote however they can,

(22:04):
but they were too cowardly to do it in public
because they knew in this audience, you guys would not
put up with it. These are cowards, the same people
that did this Jewish Insider piece this morning where they say, well,
all seven of us disapprove of Jade Vance's approach in.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
The private group chat.

Speaker 19 (22:21):
None of them are willing to go on the record,
So now they're anonymously trying to go after jd Vance,
but not any one of them are going after Ratcliffe
or Mike Waltz. What is going on here. We know
exactly what's going on here. This is a fault line
of a worldview in the Republican Party, that's all This is.

(22:41):
What you are seeing is the bubbling up of something
that's been below the surface for quite a while, and
we hoped that it wouldn't have to come to this,
But the neo conservatives are forcing the hand of the
actual base of the Republican Party and it's a red line.
It is a hard right redline that you're not gonna

(23:02):
get after Pete. And by the way, if we're going
after anybody, then we deserve answers from Alex Wong and
Michael Waltz. How did Jeffrey Goldberg end up in this
group chat? You want an investigation, I don't think you're
gonna like that investigation.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
We'll be right back. Welcome back to this Real America's
Voice newsbreak. I'm Terrence Bates. New Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has talked a lot about
getting rid of dangerous food dies that have become commonplace

(23:35):
in American foods. Well, there's morning. Dozens of states are
taking action on their own, saying the federal government has
been waiting too long. West Virginia became the first to
sign a sweeping state wide ban on seven food dies
this week. The state traditionally ranks at the bottom in
the United States when it comes to health metrics. More
than twenty other states are reportedly making bipartisan pushes to

(23:56):
restrict dies as well. The food additives have been tied
to new behavioral problems in some children. The specific guys
being targeted are used to make brightly colored cereals along
with drinks and candies. The search for four missing American
soldiers continues in Lithuania. Those troops were involved in a
training exercise when their armored vehicle went underwater, and they

(24:18):
are now still being searched for. That's a quick check
of your headlines. The IRS is the largest collection agency
in the world, and with April fifteenth fast approaching, it's
more aggressive than ever In twenty twenty five. Enforcement is
ramped up, and if you happen to owe back taxes

(24:39):
or if you've got unfouled returns, waiting just isn't an option.
The longer you wait, the worse it gets. And ignoring
your tax troubles, well, that's probably one of the worst
things you can do. April fifteenth marks another tax year
that's passed you. By getting ahead of it now is
the best thing that you can do. But never ever
ever contact the IRS alone. Instead, let the experts at

(25:02):
Tax Network USA handle it for you. Why you ask, Well,
it's because not all tax resolution companies are the same.
Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS,
meaning they know exactly which agents to deal with and
which ones to avoid. With proven strategies to settle tax
problems in your favor whether you owe ten thousand dollars
or ten million dollars. Tax Network ussa's attorneys and negotiators

(25:25):
are the ones you want to turn to because they've
resolved over a billion dollars in tax debt. Talk with
one of their strategists today for free. Stop the threatening letters,
stop looking over your shoulder, and protect yourself with property
seizures or from property seizures and bank levies. Don't let
the IRS control your future. Instead call eight hundred nine
oh five eight thousand, or visit TANUSA dot com slash raf. Remember,

(25:51):
April fifteenth is right around the corner, So act now
before the IRS acts.

Speaker 18 (25:56):
First to the future of America, and the future is right.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Dear Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 19 (26:02):
Okay, everybody, welcome back. I want to tell you about
the Herzog Foundation. They are wonderful supporters of our program.
We work closely with them. At Turning Point Academy, are
you rethinking your kid's educational path, wondering if their current
school truly supports your family's values. You're not alone, and
the Herzog Foundation is here to help. With the Trump
administration working to abolish the federal Department of Education and

(26:23):
returned control to the States. There's never been a better
time to explore Christian education. For too long, federal overreach
has dictated how children learn. But now parents have a
greater say in their kids' futures. This shift could make
Christian education more attainable than ever. The Herzog Foundation is
your trusted guide to navigating these changes. Where their families
are considering a Christian school, a hybrid model, or home schooling.

(26:47):
They provide the resources family needs to make families need
to make informed decisions and to see updated on the
latest developments from the Trump administration and how they impact education,

patriot and friend of the program and someone who went
very viral on election evening and he's wearing the obligatory
forty seven hat, Cliff Maloney. Now we're going to go
through some not great news here in this segment. But
that's why I love that you're wearing the hat, Cliff.
Even though it might not be great news, we still

(27:30):
won the White House. Cliff, how you doing. Great to
see you.

Speaker 21 (27:33):
It's great to be here, Charlie Love How fired you
hope you were for that first half. Man, we've got
a lot going on. I feel like every hour we've
got something new. But we've got our country bag, which
is great.

Speaker 11 (27:41):
Well.

Speaker 19 (27:42):
Look, as you know, I have a special disdain for
neo conservatives who pretend to be America first to their voters.
If you want to go be a neo conservative, happy,
go lucky, invade Iran, colonized Venezuela, and go bomb every
country that you can't pronounce, at least tell you voters
that's who you are. Don't go send mailers and say

(28:03):
I'm America first. By the way, let's go to war
against the run. It's repulsive, it's dishonest, it's deceitful. Cliff,
tell us what happened last evening, I believe, or at
least a couple days ago, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Speaker 21 (28:15):
Yeah, so in Pennsylvania we had two special elections. The
first was a state House special out in the Pittsburgh area.
This is a Democrat seat, seventy five to twenty five.
No way to win that seat. And so obviously the
Democrats kept that, which kept the majority in the House.
But the major chakra, Charlie was there was a special
Senate election. This is Senate District thirty six. This is Lancaster, PA.

(28:39):
This is a district and Trump won by fifteen percentage points.
It's actually a R plus twenty three. When you look
at Democrat to Republican registrations, Republicans are up by twenty
three percent. If you look on the screen here, you
can see this was a shock result. Democrats ran up
the score. You see, they're the mail in voting eight

(28:59):
thousand male and votes to Republicans three thousand, and we
ended up losing the race by about five hundred votes.
And Charlie, the most frustrating thing for me is we
offered to run our pachase program and we were told
by the consultant.

Speaker 20 (29:12):
Class, Hey, don't worry, it's a waste of money. We
got it. We're going to get the mail ballots in.

Speaker 21 (29:18):
And now we're finding out they didn't chase one mail
in ballot with no paid ballot chasers. There was no
program whatsoever, and so it's just frustrating for us to
lose a seat like this in a time where we're
supposed to be mobilizing in the off year. I thought
that twenty twenty four was going to be the time
when groups like Turning Point, groups like Citizens Alliance, we

(29:39):
went out and proved to folks, listen, all you have
to do is take these Trump supporters and make them
Trump voters. That's a great line of years, that's true.
But the consultant class has yet to figure it out. Charling,
I'll take the blame for this. You know, I believe
them that it was going to be a cakewalk, that
it was going to be some sort of just easy win,

(29:59):
and bec because we rested on our laurels, the Democrats
have now shifted a Senate seat, and we cannot let
that happen again. So I'm committing on your show that
no more will I listen to the consultant class and
these corrupt folks in Harrisburg. We're just going to go
do our program, and we cannot listen to these people
who don't understand the power of chasing ballots.

Speaker 19 (30:20):
So I just I'm going to ask a provocative question.
Do they really care that much about winning or is
it more just about the graph than making money? And
if they happen to win, then it's a nice little bonus.

Speaker 20 (30:34):
Well, look, I actually think it's a little worse than that.

Speaker 21 (30:36):
I think we were pushed out because you know, people
want to be able to take full credit. The nice
thing about twenty twenty four is we all work together, right,
we all say, look, we don't care who gets credit.

Speaker 20 (30:45):
We just want to win.

Speaker 21 (30:47):
And so we took the different tactics, we took the
different assignments for certain states and certain ways that we
were going to reach voters, and we all just owned it.
And so what I find is, yet, cha are they
I'm looking at the reports here, these folks are lining
their pockets. They're not understanding how to communicate with voters.
And it's every single excuse that we hear from the
Ron McDaniel types, from the previous GOP leaders. It's candidate quality,

(31:12):
it's too extreme of a message, they're too maga, they're
too America first. This is all the Monday morning quarterback,
and you're hearing now because the consultants just don't get it.
So yes, they're lining their pockets, but I also think
they just don't understand we're not the party of Carl
Rove anymore.

Speaker 20 (31:28):
The rules don't allow.

Speaker 21 (31:29):
Us to just spend millions on TV ads and then
wonder why we didn't win.

Speaker 20 (31:34):
It's an election month, it is.

Speaker 21 (31:37):
Not an election week, it is not an election day
in Pennsylvania, and it's time we actually adapt. I think
the silver lining here, Charlie is that these consultants have
been so embarrassed that even the most you know I
would call them establishment type voters are like, how in
the world did you lose a Trump plus fifteen c
Maybe this chasing of ballots is what we should focus on.

(31:59):
So I'm hoping this is the wake up call for
all of the patriots across PA to say, we cannot
miss an election. We have to chase ballots in every
election in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 19 (32:10):
So, Cliff, here's the good news. The good news is
that we know it can work in a general election.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
You've did it.

Speaker 19 (32:17):
We helped a little bit, but you were the pioneer.
You were the vanguard, especially to get Dave McCormick to
be a US Senator. We have a special election problem
right now. Randy Fine is in a big fight right
now in the Florida sixth congressional district. There's a new
story breaking today that a Lease Stephanic might not end
up resigning to become you an ambassador because it might

(32:40):
put the margins a little bit in jeopardy. Now, I
think that if Josh Parker became the nominee, it wouldn't
be a problem. But that's a separate issue for another time.
What do we need to do to change the mindset
of our base our funders that these special elections matter?

Speaker 20 (33:00):
Yeah, well, I'm with you. I think if it gets
to be pretty close, you know, we like Elise.

Speaker 21 (33:04):
But I think the power of having the majority is
extremely important.

Speaker 20 (33:07):
So I would double down on that.

Speaker 21 (33:09):
But I think, Charlie, it's what we've preached for the
last year and a half, which is, look in a
lot of these areas. Look at Randy Fines district, you know,
look at Jimmy Petronas in this district, Florida one.

Speaker 20 (33:19):
They have the voters.

Speaker 21 (33:21):
Okay, we're not talking about swing districts where hey, you know,
maybe we have to work on registration, or maybe we
have to do persuasion or maybe we have to message correctly.

Speaker 20 (33:30):
No, we just have to do the ground team to
turn out our voters. So yes, do they need to run.

Speaker 21 (33:34):
Traditional advertising shore, But I think the shift in mindset,
the shift in the culture within Republican strategic circles has
to be taking the model from twenty twenty four and
making it permanent infrastructure.

Speaker 20 (33:48):
Right. I mean, that's what.

Speaker 21 (33:49):
We're doing in PA. We're doing five hundred thousand dollors
every year. And I think the folks in Florida and
the folks in New York, if it does come up
for an election, we have to understand if if you
have the voters and you said this are the first
person I heard ever say this, take Trump supporters and
make them Trump voters, Meaning we have the people, we
have the energy, but we need to double down on

(34:11):
the ground game the same way the Democrats do.

Speaker 20 (34:14):
And by the way, this race and.

Speaker 21 (34:15):
PA, Joshapiro hat one hundred and five full time people
on the ground.

Speaker 20 (34:19):
He gets it.

Speaker 21 (34:21):
They might be in disarray nationally, they might not have
a leader, but politics is business to them and they
take it seriously. We as Republicans have to start understanding
and taking it serious that we are going to double down,
work the doors, chase the ballots, and exploit the rules
legally the way the Democrats do.

Speaker 19 (34:41):
It's a major mentality issue. And also comment on Wisconsin.
Right now, we have this Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. We're
working our tailoff, We're driving turnout in the Wow counties.
The problem is that the Democrats they have more full
time bodies. If it wasn't for Turning point Action, it
would be a little of a nightmare on the ground there.
We're doing everything we can to squeeze out. But every day,

(35:05):
let me tell you, we are knocking on doors in
Wisconsin and the team's doing a great job. Tyler and Brett.
They're working their tail off at turning point Action. But
every day we're knocking on doors and someone will say,
what election are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (35:17):
We just elected Trump? What do you mean? This is
a problem, Cliff.

Speaker 19 (35:22):
We have to change the entire philosophy of a Republican
base voter when it comes to these special and one
off elections.

Speaker 21 (35:32):
Yeah, and I think the message you know at the door,
I'm sure you know you guys are getting the same
feedback that we get in pa is. We have to
figure out a way to tie this to something that
is if you want to continue the Trump agenda, and Charlie,
the best part is, I mean, look at the approval ratings, right,
If we can tie these candidates to Trump, that's a
huge net positive.

Speaker 20 (35:48):
Despite with the row and the Romney.

Speaker 21 (35:51):
Type, folks are going to tell you people want the message,
they want Magga, they want America first, they want the
Golden Age. And I think you're right, it's an institutional
it's a cultural shift. But I think the nice thing
is we still have Trump to at least to try
to attach on to. And obviously he's not in the ballot,
which makes it difficult. But with Elon in the White

(36:11):
House doing what he's doing, with Trump continuing hour by
hour to create massive reform to save this republic, that's
the challenge for us is how do we connect whatever
election it is, if it's Brad for Supreme Court in Wisconsin,
if it's the Specials in Florida, connecting that our candidate
must win. It is vital that you vote because it's

(36:32):
going to continue these Trump reforms that are saving the country.
It's not an easy task, right, It's a challenge because
people aren't as motivated without Trump on the ballot. But
I think that's our excuse, that's our hurdle to have
to get over, and I think we're doing the legwork
to hopefully deliver some strong results.

Speaker 19 (36:50):
What is on the docket of other races that we
should be aware of beyond Wisconsin and this year? And look, everybody,
we're going to be in a midterm cycle. By Chris,
by Christmas, we are in a mid term election. We're
just months away from being well within a midterm cycle.

Speaker 21 (37:06):
Cliff tell us, Yeah, well, I think you've got, you know,
big races. Obviously, New Hampshire in terms of the Senate
seat I think is going to be huge. That's a
state that we play in, hoping you guys go out
there and help us out.

Speaker 20 (37:17):
We've got some big talks there with Tyler.

Speaker 21 (37:19):
But look, let me come back to Pa, which is
my bread and butter, because we do have some crucial races.
If we're talking twenty twenty six, we've got three congressional
swing districts. We won all three of those in twenty
twenty four. We don't win those. We don't have the
majority right now, so there are going to be three defenses.
Now that we're going to have to win. We're going
to have to do the typical Chase program. But Charlie,

(37:40):
let's just look at twenty twenty five. Right, Obviously, Wisconsin
and these Florida races are going to be huge. Greatly
appreciate what you guys are doing. In Wisconsin. It wasn't
for you guys, we'd have no shot to win that race.
Twenty twenty five. In Pennsylvania, there's something very interesting. The
people that control the elections in terms of the election
day decisions called Judge of Elections in Pennsylvania, we are

(38:02):
actually trying to go out and elect one thousand of
those And that's why we're doubling down this Phchase program.
And here's why it's important. If you want Jade vance
in twenty twenty eight, if you want fair elections in
twenty twenty six, the people who get elected for Judge
of Elections in Pennsylvania, the largest swing state in twenty
twenty five, they control the election day decisions for twenty

(38:24):
twenty six through twenty twenty nine. And so my push
to you what we're doing is we want to make
sure that we have this entire grassroots army to get
to make those decisions. And Charlie you reported on all
the crazy Waxes stuff. It comes out a lot of
these counties with just the possible thing. But yeah, really
really focused on judge of elections.

Speaker 19 (38:44):

I want to tell you about America's greatest college, Hillsdale College.
They have phenomenal free online courses that you could take

maybe it's time for an enjoyable refresher. Hillsdale College is

(41:47):
offering more than forty free online courses, including their newest
course on totalitarian Novels. In this free eight lecture course,
you'll learn from Hillsdale College President Larry R. As he
goes in depth on four novels nineteen eighty four, Brave
New World, Darkness at Noon, and That Hideous Strength. Even

(42:09):
though these novels were written in the nineteen thirties and forties,
they are highly relevant today as they show what a
tyrannical government does to human nature. More important, they can
show us with fate, family and friends are worth fighting for.
You can take their Aristotle course, their Churchill course, their
Roman history course, their Constitution one on one course. Maybe
you've read these books a long time ago, maybe you've

(42:29):
heard about others talk about them. Well, right now go
to Charlie for Hillsdale dot com to enroll free of charge.
There is no cost. That is cha ar Lie for
Hillsdale dot com. Charlie for Hillsdale dot com. So take
a look at it right now, Charlie four Hillsdale dot com.
Right now, we are living under an attempted judicial coup,

(42:52):
attempted judicial supremacy.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
As we've said many times on this.

Speaker 19 (42:56):
Program, the last one hundred years, the power in America
has largely constant traded, an unelected bureaucracy and an unelected judiciary.
When you can look to other countries to see where
this goes. Right now, in the country of Brazil, there
is a shocking and a horrifying development happening. Remember back

(43:18):
in twenty twenty two, Bolsonnaro lost by a razor thin margin.
As you might remember, he won every part of the
country except the poorest, the most crime ridden, and the
most corrupt corner of the country, the northeast, where left
wing candidate Lula da Silva won. There was a ton
of agitation. They had their own January sixth like moment

(43:41):
where they rallied and support of Bolsonnaro, and it went
way too far. And ever since then there's been a
gigantic Joe Biden's style law fair crackdown. Judges in Brazil
have exerted far more power than even in the United States.
Judges and counties attorneys general equivalent have imposed sweeping speech

(44:03):
controls on x and other speech platforms. Now Bosgnaro is
going to be put on trial for supposedly plotting a coup.
President Lula said today that it's Bolsignaro's duty to quote
prove his innocence. It's not innocent until proven guilty. It's
guilty until proven innocent. This is in a country of

(44:26):
Brazil that we allegedly call an ally. If Russia were
to do this, we would sanction them. If Brazil does it,
why are we putting up with it? And the answer
is we shouldn't. Is the US State Department Mark Rubio
and President Trump should issue tariffs and if necessary, sanctions
on Brazil for this kind of reckless, immoral behavior. But

(44:50):
even more than that, this is a warning sign. This
is what judicial despotism looks like. This is the type
of behavior that should have no play in the western
modern world. They are going to try to put Bolsonaro
in prison, to have him die in jail as a martyr.
The left believes in democracy, allegedly, but do you know

(45:13):
what they mean by democracy. They think democracy is judges
making themselves dictators. The judge is an avatar of democracy.
They don't believe in voting, they don't believe in the
will of the people. They don't believe in the sovereign.
Democracy for a left winger isn't elections or rights or constitutions.

(45:35):
It's just being a liberal. It is a judicial oligarchy.
These are all warnings to us. As we now have
judge after judge stopping President Trump from doing what he
wants to do.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
We can look to.

Speaker 19 (45:50):
Brazil and Israel to a lesser extent to see how
the will of the sovereign is undermined on a daily basis,
and praise the Lord, because when we dodge that bullet
as a civilization on July thirteenth. This is where we
were headed under a Kamala Harris presidency. This is where
we are headed under a Joe Biden regime. If Donald

(46:10):
Trump would have been shot and killed there, there is
no guarantee that we would have won a presidential election
in November, no guarantee if the country would still exist.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
They would have locked all of us in jail. They
would have raided our homes.

Speaker 19 (46:22):
And what they are doing to Bolsonnio is exactly what
they would have liked to do to President Donald Trump.
And Brazil is a canary in the coal mine, a
harbinger of things to come, a warning that if we
do not stay vigilant, that if we do not take
the mid term seriously and chase ballots and register voters,
that we can lose all the gains that we have,

(46:44):
because it is in a remarkably fragile state that right
now a good man and a once duly elected president
of Brazil, Bolsonniaro, has to prove his innocence and is
destined to die in jail.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Second hour coming up.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news Break. I'm
Terrence Bates. In twenty twenty one, a record high eighty
percent of adults in the United States reported taking some
sort of dietary supplement. Commonly used supplements include vitamin D, magnesium,
fish oil, and even multi vitamin Well. This morning, we're
introducing you to Pure Health Research. It's one of the

(47:37):
many supplement companies on the market looking to distinguish itself.
Naturopathic doctor Holly's Holly Lucille joins me now to share
her expertise. Always good to see you, doc.

Speaker 22 (47:48):
Hey Terrence, it is so good to see you.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
So tell me what makes Pure Health products different than
the other products out there on the market.

Speaker 23 (47:56):
Yeah, you know, I've been in the industry for quite
some time and I love partnering with Pure Health Research,
mostly because of their quality. I mean, I think when
it comes to dietary supplements, it's super important to have
a commitment to quality and transparency.

Speaker 7 (48:09):
And they do.

Speaker 23 (48:10):
They only use premium natural ingredients in all of their
nutritional formulas, and if you go to their website, Pure
health research dot com, you can see that each formula,
the ingredients, they all have a clinical study behind them,
so you're getting something that actually works as advertised. Right,
So it's been through the rigor of science and it's natural,
so no GMOs. They don't use any artificial chemicals, fillers

(48:34):
or preservatives, and they also manufacture right here in the
United States.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Give us an example of some of the various types
of products that Pure Health offers.

Speaker 23 (48:44):
Yeah, they have forty five at this point in time,
so I know, but I know, we've talked about the
Liver Health Formula on the show before and it's still
probably the top seller. Liver health is so important. I mean,
I think it's getting a lot of attention these days,
and it does over five hundred different functions in our bodies.
So the Liver Health Formula well over two million bottles sold.

(49:05):
As the name implies, it's this formula combination synergistic ingredients, natural, safe,
but effective to support a thriving liver. Also can help
those fat deposits. Fatty livers super common. Unfortunately, over one
hundred thousand Americans have it, do not know it, including
younger people, right, So this is very important. It nice

(49:28):
metallism to trim the belly fat. And we also have
limb system support, so anyone who is struggling with any
fluidory tension in their extremities like legs, ankles, feet, super
awesome for that, and then we found out during the
pandemic that only twelve percent of the United States is
metabolically sound. What does that mean, well, appropriate blood sugar

(49:49):
right and good cardiovascular function and so there Another amazing
bestseller is their blood sugar formula really help support healthy
blood sugar levels. It can also reduce those appetite and
sugar cravings, which I think people fight all of the time,
and it makes it easier to stay away from those
tempting suites and again, drop some pounds, right, I mean,

(50:09):
people feel so much better when they're at an ideal
weight and also better energy.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
I think it's probably also important to point out to
people that supplements are just that they are supplemental to
the lifestyle that you should be living.

Speaker 23 (50:23):
Yeah, if you look at supplements in the dictionary, it
means adding to or enhancing something that's already there. So
lifestyle dietary modifications, those things are super important and we
never want to forget them. You can't out supplement a
bad diet, you know, It's like you can't out exercise
a bad diet. All of those things have to be
in place for people. So, but this company is certainly
there to help and for people who might.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Be interested in taking up a supplement or incorporating a
supplement into their life. I would imagine that you would
tell them to talk to their doctor first, or should they?
I guess the question is should they consult a doctor first?

Speaker 23 (50:56):
You know, that's a great question, and I would say absolutely,
maybe not, And I'll tell you why. So, Katy, I
graduated from a credit to naturepathic medical school, so and
the amount of nutrition science that I had in my
curriculum far supersedes any that is in allopathic Western medicine,
and so.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I think that there.

Speaker 23 (51:20):
I think there's value in all systems of medicine. But
when you look at standard of care allopathic Western conventional medicine,
I would say there's not a lot of knowledge.

Speaker 7 (51:29):
So when there's not a lot of knowledge with.

Speaker 23 (51:30):
Somebody, they usually just say no, just to be on
the same side. So I think an appropriate practitioner, maybe
a naturepathic doctor like myself, or you know, a good
nutritionist or help the people that understand nutrition understand dietary supplements,
would be a better pick for me.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
All right. For more information, folks go to Purehealthresearch dot com.

Speaker 19 (54:43):
Movement of their editorial board is made up of Democrats,
zero Republicans, and I think it was actually very smart
to have them in front of Congress yesterday. At first
I said, what is this kind of show trial? You
know it's typical. So now, actually it's very smart. If
you're going to cut the funding, you had an opportunity
to show. Oh, you had a hearing about it. It's very smart.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
I liked it. Here's one piece of tape. This is beautiful.

Speaker 19 (55:07):
Here is Gills, who's the NPR CEO, saying, do you
think white people should pay reparations? This is wonderful play
cut two fifty three.

Speaker 7 (55:20):
Do you think the white people should pay reparations?

Speaker 11 (55:22):
I have never said that, sir.

Speaker 7 (55:24):
Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.

Speaker 24 (55:27):
You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America, yes,
our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
on this day.

Speaker 11 (55:36):
I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations.

Speaker 7 (55:39):
Sir, what kind of reparations was it a reference to.

Speaker 9 (55:41):
I think it was just a reference to the idea
that we all owe much to the people who came
before us.

Speaker 24 (55:46):
That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted.

Speaker 19 (55:53):
Brandon is great, by the way, he's becoming a rock star.
He's married to the nest to Suz's daughter. We supported
him in the primary. Bizarre way to frame what she
tweeted is a good way to.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
Put it.

Speaker 19 (56:07):
Let's go to two fifty nine, the old tweets of
calling Donald Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath.
Finance with your taxpayer dollars, pay cut two fifty nine.

Speaker 10 (56:18):
Let me ask you, why did you call President Trump
a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in twenty twenty.

Speaker 9 (56:24):
Oh congressman, and I appreciate the opportunity to address this.
I regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today.
They represented at time where I was reflecting on something
that I believe that the President had said, rather than
who he is. I don't presume that anyone is a racist.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Would you don't believe anyone is a racist?

Speaker 11 (56:41):
I don't start by presuming anyone as a racist.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
She's she's a dark person. I know her type.

Speaker 19 (56:49):
She is very similar to Gavin News And she could
just lie with ease. She could pass a lie detectra test.
You could just tell. She's so slippery. And that's really
dark stuff. The way she's like, there's no remorse, like well,
I regret tweeting it, and I don't like woof, it's
so rehearsed. Watch out she is. You know what she's like.
She's like, gone girl. That's what she's like. You know

(57:10):
that whole movie Gone Girl. That's the type of woman
that she is. There's something else going on there. You
gotta be real careful, can I can't get enough of this.
Let's go to cut to fifty seven.

Speaker 15 (57:24):
So billions have gone into both of your coffers over
the last several decades, and I understand why Democrats on
this committee are going to viciously and vehemently defend you
all because you become a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.
Sixty seven percent of your viewers and listeners identify as Democrat,
with only twelve percent conservative, and you become a sandbox

(57:46):
for leftist propagandists to frolic on taxpayer dime and no more.
And when you said in the beginning you're going to
promote a symphony of ideological viewpoints, yeah, you do.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
If you were left leaning.

Speaker 15 (57:56):
Left, far left, or remarkably marksist that you'll back.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
How about PBS, let's go to cut two fifty four.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Would it trouble you to hear that? For six months?

Speaker 15 (58:08):
There was an analysis done on PBS's News Hour from
June to November of twenty twenty three where they found
that far right was that term was used one hundred
and sixty two times and far left was only used
six times. Do you find that troubling?

Speaker 25 (58:23):
I don't know the study that you're referring to, and
I'd love I'd be very interested in seeing it and
understanding how they came up with those number.

Speaker 15 (58:30):
Maybia Research Center did a six month analysis and it's
not how you find it. You say far right, it's
term cut.

Speaker 19 (58:38):
Every single penny from PBS and NPR, these white lib
women go. You better get in the fundraising business. We
have Turning Point USA. We have to raise one hundred
and thirty hundred and forty million bucks a year. It's
a big number. We have a whole team that does it.
We have four hundred and twenty thousand donors. We received
zero money of taxpayer dollars. You megalibs, go raise your money,

(59:01):
go out to your top rich donors, go travel, and
you guys need to go in the fundraising business, not
the US taxpayer funding business. Just looking at those two
white lib women, that's really what we're up against right there,

(59:24):
right there. It is civilization versus whatever that is. Email

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Tarrence Bates here with your Real America's Voice news break.
Thanks so much for being along for the ride. Global
reaction to President Trump's most recent announcement of twenty five
percent tariffs on cars and car parts continue coming. In.
Germany's Economy minister in the country's car industry say the
move sends a quote fatal signal to free and rules
based trade. The European Commission's president adds the tariffs are

(01:00:09):
bad for business and worse for consumers, while Canada's new
Prime Minister is chiming in, saying that the upcoming tariffs
are a direct at tackle on Canadian workers and retaliatory
measures are being considered. The new duties on cars built
outside of the United States and car parks from abroad
are set to take effect March third, which is just
one day after President Trump's reciprocal tariffs are set to

(01:00:31):
be implemented. Last year, the US imported four hundred and
seventy four billion dollars worth of automotive products, including two
hundred and twenty billion in passenger vehicles. The United Autoworkers
Union is praising the move, saying it is a major
step in the right direction for autoworkers in this country,
as well as blue collar communities across the United States.

(01:00:51):
Making America healthy again apparently costs. In this case, it's
costing about ten thousand people their jobs, as the Department
of Health and Human Services is poised a layoff a
quarter of its workforce. After taking into account early retirements,
people who took the DOGE payouts, and workers being let go,
the DHHS will have a workforce of about sixty two

(01:01:13):
thousand people, which is down from eighty two thousand. An
official statement from the Robert F. Kennedy junior run Department
of Health and Human Services claims the downsizing will save
an estimated one point eight billion dollars annually. That only
amounts to about a tenth of a percent of the
agency's annual one point eight trillion dollar budget. Though, and

(01:01:34):
new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
has talked a lot about getting dies out of the
country's food sources.

Speaker 20 (01:01:42):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
This morning, dozens of states are taking action on the issue,
saying that the federal government is taking too long to act.
West Virginia, for instance, became the first to sign a
sweeping statewide ban on seven food dies this week. The
state traditionally ranks at the bottom of the US when
it comes to health metrics. More than twenty others are
reportedly making bipartisan pushes to restrict diyes and food as well.

That's a quick check if your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates.

Foundation is a wonderful partner of ours. Are you rethinking
your child's educational path, wondering if their current school supports
your family's values? You're not alone, and the Herzog Foundation
is here to help. With the Trump administration working to

(01:02:53):
abolish the Federal Department Education and return control to the States,
There's never been a better time to explore Christian education.
For too long, federal overreach has dictated how children learn,
But now parents have a greater say in their kids' futures.
This shift could make Christian education more attainable than ever.

A terrible incident occurred the other day at University of
Texas Dallas. As you know, the left is becoming incredibly violent.
They're going after Tesla dealerships. We receive death threats nearly
every single day. And they're going after our Turning Point
USA leaders on the ground. So joining us is one
of the students that was violently attacked. Paige Newman, TPUSA

(01:04:02):
Chapter president at the University of Texas at Dallas, assaulted
by a trans student. Paige, welcome to the program. Please
tell our audience what happened to you. Welcome, Great to
see you.

Speaker 25 (01:04:14):
Nice to see you too, Thanks for having me. Yeah,
we were tabling as we usually do. We table every
Monday through Wednesday on campus. We have an event coming
up on campus and we're excited for that we're tabling
for it is a beautiful day out. We had a
lot of people stopping by and this crazed lunatic came
on his bike.

Speaker 22 (01:04:34):
He pulled over next to me.

Speaker 25 (01:04:36):
I said keep moving because I knew he was going
to cause some damage, and he caused damage to My
phone was destroyed, our whiteboard that we used for tabling
was destroyed.

Speaker 22 (01:04:45):
In my head was hit severely.

Speaker 25 (01:04:48):
So this crazy lunatic just borned to cause damage and
he definitely did.

Speaker 22 (01:04:53):
And now he's in jail.

Speaker 19 (01:04:54):
So this is not the first time that we've had
Turning Point leaders be assaulted, concussed, firebombed, bear sprayed. It
is a very common tactic that they use. First, I
have to ask, are you okay after this madman assaulted
you in the head with a bike lock.

Speaker 25 (01:05:14):
Yeah, I'm actually doing pretty well. Surprisingly no concussion signs.
I'm gonna go get X rays later today just to
be sure, But yeah, I feel great. If anything, I'm
more empowered. I want to keep fighting for what I
believe in, and that's you know. Tpusa's values are so
important to me, especially as president. I'm going to keep
fighting on for what I believe in.

Speaker 19 (01:05:35):
This person is the named Liam Tom Tom Newan, a
male Vietnamese name. Put this up on screen. This is
the individual that did this, who is trans. Of course,
the media will completely ignore this. Could you imagine the opposite?
Can you imagine if a conservative went and assaulted a
trans group on campus? It would be international news. And so, Paige,

(01:05:59):
talk about how your chapter is responding to this. Do
you guys feel more committed to continue to be out
and tabling and recruiting. How are you processing all of this?

Speaker 22 (01:06:11):
Yeah? For sure.

Speaker 25 (01:06:12):
Even yesterday after the attack happened, we continued to table
on and we kept fighting for what we believe in,
and we had a lot of support actually for people
on campus. They saw what happened and were shocked we
were still out there after it happened. So yeah, we're
gonna keep fighting on. We're gonna have our events on
April first. We're gonna keep pushing on and spread the message,

(01:06:35):
hopefully get some new members out of this.

Speaker 19 (01:06:36):
Honestly, talk about what you are seeing on campus. And
also did the police take it seriously and how did
the administration respond?

Speaker 22 (01:06:45):
Yeah, the police were actually very very helpful.

Speaker 25 (01:06:49):
They were they acted swiftly and immediately they caught him
the same day. Luckily we did have the video footage
and they used their cameras as well, but they caught
him the same day actually on campus in a building nearby.
And yeah, the campus as a whole, they have, you know, definitely.

Speaker 22 (01:07:08):
Received this as mixed.

Speaker 25 (01:07:09):
There was a Reddit post going around and people said,
I deserve to get hip because I'm a TPUSA freak.

Speaker 22 (01:07:15):
So there's definitely still some hate out there.

Speaker 25 (01:07:17):
People still want to cause injury and they still hate TPUSA,
But we've also had people on their side say, you
know what, I'm proud of you guys for being out here.
They're proud of us for fighting on and to say,
you know what, We're not scared. I mean, obviously I
took a hit to the head and I got back
up and I'm still out there at tabling, So we're
not scared.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
You are a hero.

Speaker 19 (01:07:37):
And I hope everyone in the audience who might be
in their forties, fifties, or sixties listening or watching this,
if you guys are not constantly under attack for your values,
then I'm worried about you that you're not fighting hard enough.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Every day our turning point.

Speaker 19 (01:07:50):
Students are sticking out their neck to fight for our
country that we love, and you guys are heroes for
that the tip of the spear. Have any liberal proffessors
condemned this. Have they spoken out against this, Not that.

Speaker 25 (01:08:04):
I know of, and I honestly don't think they will.
I don't think they're going to say anything. It's just
gonna be in our day in the books for them.
I mean, they don't really care what happens, just because again,
we are TPUSA, so this campus they don't want to
see us here, but we're making our presence stronger than ever.

Speaker 19 (01:08:23):
So Paige, talk more broadly about what you are seeing.
Polls are showing that young people are going to the right.
In fact, I want to play a piece of tape here.
We've played part of this conversation throughout the week, which
I think is very important, So the New York Times
as recline conversation. I want to play cut seventy five,
and I want to ask you if you're seeing similar

(01:08:43):
trends on the ground with the advocacy that you're doing,
play cut seventy five.

Speaker 11 (01:08:47):
Please.

Speaker 26 (01:08:49):
One of the things you can see here is if
you just look at eighteen year olds, eighteen year old
women of color are the only of the four that
actually you know, voted to Harris one Trump narrowly one
you know, non white men.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
So I do find this part of this chart shocking.

Speaker 27 (01:09:06):
I sometimes talk about narrative violations, and I think if
we knew anything about Donald Trump eight years ago, it's
at young people did not like him. But if you
look at this chart, among white men who were seventy
five years old supported Kamala Harris at a significantly higher
rate than white men who are twenty years.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
Old, that's exactly right. That's a real shift. It is
a real shift. This is the thing.

Speaker 26 (01:09:31):
I am the most shocked by I think in the
last four years is that young people have gone from
being the most progressive generation since the Baby Boomers, and
maybe in some ways more so, to becoming potentially the
most conservative.

Speaker 19 (01:09:47):
Are you seeing similar trends on the ground, especially with
younger men.

Speaker 22 (01:09:53):
Yeah, actually, you know, I do.

Speaker 25 (01:09:55):
Table I ask like, have you heard of TPUSA before,
and all the times the answer is yes, They'll say, yes,
I want to join, but I'm scared, and I'm I'm
confused by that. I'm like, why are you scared? If
you believe in something, join it, Join the movement. And
I encourage everyone to at least attend one of our meetings.
I've seen a lot of women, especially yesterday, I spoke

(01:10:15):
to a lady who wanted to come to our alex
Stein event on campus, but she knew it was with TPUSA,
and she was scared to attend because she thought she
would not get a job if she was seen attending.

Speaker 22 (01:10:26):
And that's very sad to me.

Speaker 25 (01:10:28):
I encourage everyone to just attend one meeting. We're friendly,
we're out there, we give away you know, free stuff,
free advice. We just want to help everyone join the movement.
And yeah, I've definitely seen a big shift.

Speaker 19 (01:10:41):
Well, and hold on, this is in Texas, everybody. This
is not Massachusetts. So this is someone who's afraid to
go to a conservative event in Dallas, Texas, in a
red state. So that's remarkable. Talk more broadly about your school,
the classes that you have to take.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Our professors.

Speaker 19 (01:11:02):
Are they treating you fairly because you're part of Turning
Point USA? Do you feel you're graded differently? How do
your fellow members feel?

Speaker 22 (01:11:09):
I mean, this campus as a whole is very liberal.

Speaker 25 (01:11:12):
I am not from Texas originally, so I didn't know
how I thought it would be, you know, a red state,
as you said, but this campus is the opposite. People
here are very very left leaning, and obviously, as you
can tell, I was hit in the head. They will
cause hate, they'll spew misinformation online. We've had an Instagram

(01:11:33):
account that's against TPUSA at ut Dallas, a whole Instagram
based on it. They hate us, and so in class
I have felt the need sometimes to act like I
am leftist, you know, but I'm the kind of person
where I don't mind sharing my values out loud.

Speaker 22 (01:11:49):
I've been in classes before that.

Speaker 25 (01:11:51):
It's all liberals, and I'm the one conservative and I
state my mind. You know, I'm not afraid to say
how I feel. I might get backlash, I might get
hit in the head for it, but I will continue
to say how I feel.

Speaker 19 (01:12:03):
Yeah, what is your advice to other Turning Point chapter
leaders or other young Conservatives across the country that feel scared,
that feel afraid, that are not sure if they want
to speak out because they might get hit in the
head with a bike lock.

Speaker 25 (01:12:20):
I would just say, you know, keep in mind what
tpusay stands for. You know, our mission is strong, our
presence is strong, and keep fighting on. If you believe
in it, fight for it. You might get backlash, you
might try to get attacked, but obviously if they're trying
to attack you, it means that your your mission is

(01:12:41):
the right one.

Speaker 22 (01:12:42):
Because they don't want to see you win. But we're
going to keep winning.

Speaker 19 (01:12:46):
Well, I hope you're coming to our Young Women's Leadership Summit.
If not, I will be We have to fix that.
How did you first come aware of Turning Point USA.

Speaker 22 (01:12:55):
Yeah, so they.

Speaker 25 (01:12:57):
Were tabling one day and they had their out of
Yaines event, and I love Riley Yaines a lot, and I.

Speaker 22 (01:13:03):
Was like, oh, you're going to have that.

Speaker 25 (01:13:04):
Yeah, I'll come. And I had a friend already in
the club. He was an officer. He brought me on.

Speaker 22 (01:13:09):
I went to a meeting.

Speaker 25 (01:13:10):
I felt like an outsider, honestly because it was all
men and there was no women there at all. And
I said, you know what, I can change this group around.

Speaker 22 (01:13:19):
And I did.

Speaker 25 (01:13:20):
I was secretary and I worked on the Instagram. Our
instagram is now one of the best of the nation,
I will say. And I brought on some more females
as well. And now I'm the president and I love it.

Speaker 19 (01:13:33):
We have to have more women involved in the conservative movement.
It can't just be all men.

Speaker 11 (01:13:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
So Paige, God bless you. Thank you.

Speaker 19 (01:13:40):
We look forward to seeing you at the Young Women's
Leadership Summit. And I want everyone to internalize this. You
guys are looking for hope on the horizon. Some of
you guys are retired. This next generation, they are taking
bike locks on the head, they're scoring condemnation, isolation. They
are out there fighting for your country every single day.
And by the way, can we just defund University Texas Dallas.

(01:14:03):
Why is it that these schools are still receiving any money.
That's a separate issue page.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):

want to get more involved with Turning Point USA, that
was just an amazing conversation with Page, who literally had
a bike lock slammed at her because she was out
there advocating registering voters, starting high school chapters. You should
go to TPUSA dot com. Turning Point USA is the

(01:16:42):
most important organization in America. I know I'm biased, I
know I started it. Whatever, it's just the way it is.
What we have been able to build here is profound.
It is larger than life. It is a movement that
involves churches, Turning Point Academy, TPUSA Faith. Our digital operation
is second to none. It is the premiere digital operation.
We have a White House correspondent, we have front lines,

(01:17:04):
we have Blexit, we have what we're doing at the
high schools is breathtaking, and we have a resolve and
a grittiness to the Turning Point student. The media can't
even wrap their head around all the different projects that
we're doing at Turning Point because we are a less
restless army, a restless band of patriots. It is an
all out attack to retake the culture. It's Turning Point USA,

(01:17:27):
Turning Point Action, the most important movement in America. So
check it out TPUSA dot com. Okay, everybody, so I

(01:17:52):
had an article sent to me yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:17:54):
It's one of those articles where I just chuckled.

Speaker 19 (01:17:57):
I said, oh, really interesting, you're telling me for the
first time. I wrote a book a couple summers ago
called The College Scam. It's one of the books I'm
most proud of. It was a clear indictment of the
college cabal. It did not win me a lot of friends.
I remember I would get in debates with very wealthy

(01:18:19):
people in Jackson Hole. Oh, I remember a spicy conversation
in Jackson Hole, a debate in Palm Beach of older
boomer Americans. College is wonderful and everyone should go to it.
All that matters is the cost of college. We just
have to bring down the cost because the most important
thing is to get a four year degree. And I

(01:18:43):
wrote in The College Scam that, no, this is one
of the greatest scams happening in America. I see it firsthand,
and I will be proven right. Fortune Magazine publishes yesterday.
This is the first of thousands of these articles. And
this is a major I told you so. Over four
million gen zers are jobless, and experts blame colleges for

(01:19:06):
worthless degrees and a system of broken promises for the
rise of neats. Neats are neither employed or getting technical training. So,
according to Fortune magazine, one in every five adult members
of gen Z are neither employed, educated.

Speaker 4 (01:19:27):
Or training.

Speaker 19 (01:19:29):
People are not in the job market, and they are
not getting their not going to school. They just do nothing.
They live with their parents, they draw welfare, they play
video games.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
They exist. It's not fun.

Speaker 19 (01:19:41):
In fact, it's a miserable existence, living without direction and
just waiting for death. Now, why are so many of
them doing nothing? Because for decades we drove them to
take out debt for useless degrees in irrelevant fields. We
shut down schools during COVID, we gutted standards and created
an elaborate racial spoil system. Ninety percent. I've said this

(01:20:08):
for a while, I'll say it again. Nine zero percent
of kids that go to college should not go to college.

Speaker 4 (01:20:13):
Ninety percent.

Speaker 19 (01:20:16):
By the way, almost none of these kids are being
prepared for the fact they're going to lose their jobs
in about a decade to artificial intelligence. There will be
a major job job displacement problem. And yet these kids
are going hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan
debt for what exactly what are they studying for? And
it turns out employers don't want to hire them. They

(01:20:38):
have useless degrees, they have no skills, and they don't
use the degree that they went to college even in
the workforce. Fortune Magazine continues to say this my favorite part.
I wonder who's been saying this. In many cases, young
people have been sent off to universities for worthless degrees

(01:21:01):
which have produced nothing at all. Peter Hitchens said, political commentator, journalist,
and author. Quote, Now, listen carefully, and they would be
much better off if they apprenticed to become plumbers or electricians.
They would be able to look forward to a much
more abundant and satisfying life. But the reason that they

(01:21:24):
don't want to become plumbers or electricians is that most
parents would be ashamed to tell their neighbors that their
kid has become a plumber. Most suburban moms would be
horrified to have to tell their girl gang their book club,
oh yeah, Johnny is a plumber. No no, no, It's much

(01:21:45):
easier to say that Johnny is trying to find himself.

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
It's much easier to say to your girl.

Speaker 19 (01:21:52):
Gang of moms in your walking group, oh no, no,
Johnny is not an electrician. Johnny is. He's doing his
crypto thing. Oh, I totally understand Johnny has mental health problems.
I totally get it. There's really only five acceptable careers
for upper middle class white society. Doctor, lawyer, computer engineer, banker, teacher.

(01:22:13):
Those are about the five things that are allowed in
upper middle class white society. But if you dare say
my son is an electrician, people say he has to
work with his hands, you're a failure as a parent.
And I've tested this many times when I was an Aspen.
Once giving a speech, I said I'm going to test.

(01:22:36):
I said, how many of you guys would be happy
if your son became an electrician? They laughed audibly. I said,
you guys are the problem. I have no problems standing
up to the elites.

Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
It's no problem.

Speaker 19 (01:22:48):
I said, you guys are all the problem. And they
kind of chuckled and they looked down. I said, you
guys would rather have your kid be a wanderer from
Portland to Seattle finding himself working for some sort of
micro brewery trading crypto than having to tell your friends
that he's an electrician, because that's unseemly for upper middle

(01:23:12):
class white society. The insecurity of parents has driven an
entire generation to despair and a directionless life. See you
guys tomorrow.
