00:03:04.000Wanted to share some incredible news with you before we get into the New York Stock Exchange news, which was just amazing to witness for so many different reasons.
00:03:16.000AmericaFest starts a week from tonight.
00:03:18.000And look who is going to be our keynote at AmericaFest.
00:03:21.000President Donald J. Trump giving a special tribute to Arizona.
00:03:26.000Had the opportunity to speak to the president on the phone yesterday, and he said, Charlie, I want to honor the great people of Arizona as a tribute to them.
00:03:34.000He knows that Arizona was the best-performing swing state.
00:03:37.000He says the people of Arizona have always been with him, have been so loyal and so good to him.
00:03:43.000This is a tribute to State 48. Of course, people from all across the country, you're welcome to attend.
00:04:00.000Again, so President Trump is the keynote.
00:04:02.000Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Steve Bannon, Patrick Bet-David, Ben Shapiro, Mike Johnson, Donald Trump Jr., Matt Walsh, Tim Poole, Ben Carson, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Michael Moles, Ted Cruz, Rob Schneider, Byron Donalds, Anna Paulina Luna, Matt Gaetz, Danica Patrick, Brett Cooper, and more.
00:04:20.000That is AmFest.com with the president.
00:06:20.000President Trump is going to liberate the capital flows of this country, which is, of course, controlled largely by the big banks and the big corporations, while also rebuilding the middle class.
00:06:30.000Everybody is going to be a winner under President Trump's economy.
00:06:33.000He's going to use tariffs to hold our enemies accountable and our adversaries and people that have been Destroying us on trade, challenging the free trade orthodoxy, saying that deindustrialization has been good for the country.
00:06:44.000President Trump will rebuild the American middle class.
00:06:49.000You're going to see the stock prices go up.
00:06:50.000You are going to see the unleashing of free markets while also making sure that our trade policies are in alignment with those of Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln.
00:07:01.000The idea that we've gotten away from tariffs has been a bad idea over the last 50 years.
00:07:05.000You can have tariffs and also low taxes domestically.
00:07:08.000In fact, that's what President Trump supports.
00:07:10.000It is a new corporatist idea to have no tariffs whatsoever.
00:07:14.000And when you are the incumbent economic power, when you are the global reserve currency status, you're able to do whatever you want with tariffs because everyone wants to come into this country.
00:07:23.000What President Trump wants is saying, wait a second, why can you just do business for free here?
00:07:27.000You want to do business in America so badly?
00:07:30.000And by the way, before I play Cut85, everyone screams about tariffs and all this.
00:07:34.000I sat down the other day with a very dear friend and billionaire, donor to Turning Point USA, who has a lot of investments, but one of which is involved in textiles.
00:07:43.000And he said, well, what do you think is going to happen?
00:07:45.000I said, well, President Trump has publicly said it's going to be about, you know, maybe 10% on textiles.
00:07:56.000Do you know that 10% on imports of China could raise hundreds of billions of dollars and also result in the redomiciling of capital and an economic explosion waiting to happen for this country?
00:09:15.000We'll do numbers that nobody will really see before.
00:09:19.000And when that happens, prices are going to start coming down because people can't afford their groceries and they're going to be affording their groceries very soon.
00:09:44.000You do tariffs by employing Americans.
00:09:46.000You avoid tariffs that President Trump will use generously by hiring American workers and putting your bets in the interior of the United States of America.
00:10:21.000Wall Street can win and Main Street can win.
00:10:23.000This is the operating truth of free market economics.
00:10:28.000Now, mind you, we're not going to be a zealot with free markets.
00:10:31.000If we need to upuse some tariffs, if we need to have some smart regulation, but generally markets, when they are liberated, lift people out of poverty and increase the standard of living for all people.
00:10:59.000We've just been living under this malaise, and President Trump is going to unshackle the American economy and unleash American energy, entrepreneurs, artificial intelligence, the likes of which we have not seen in American history.
00:11:11.000And him coming to go ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, he is going to awaken the sleeping giant.
00:11:16.000And I'm just going to say this on the record.
00:11:18.000Don't be shocked if we have 5% growth sometime next year.
00:11:42.000From shopping for gifts, hosting family, and attending endless parties, the pressure can really start to rise.

00:14:03.000I think Fox Business is great on market stuff.
00:14:06.000But they'll usually just be numbers and numbers and numbers and analytics, when in reality, when you're looking, for example, to allocate $35 million with $35 million of equity and $100 million of debt to go build an apartment building in Charleston, South Carolina, it's more than just numbers.
00:14:24.000You have to try to feel what is the energy flow going to be of investors and money velocity and And the spending of capital in the next three to four years.
00:14:34.000And President Trump has given a psychological boost that will result in economic prosperity.
00:14:41.000America has a lot of problems, but Trump is actually committing to unleash America's best traits instead of killing them.
00:14:48.000Honestly, one of the greatest things that President Trump is going to do, which was just slow motion civilizational suicide that Joe Biden did, if all President Trump does are these two things, he will go down as a great president.
00:15:00.000Unleash American energy and secure the border.
00:15:44.000India, President Trump could handle India as part of BRICS in one phone call.
00:15:48.000China, President Trump is so smart he invites Xi Jinping to his inauguration.
00:15:51.000Which, by the way, we should be trying to calm down some of the China war hawks.
00:15:56.000I'm very clear about the present danger of the Chinese Communist Party, but getting us closer to another thermonuclear war, they might take Taiwan, but we have the Russia-Ukrainian conflict.
00:17:12.000But President Trump is going to have this combination effect.
00:17:15.000I think there is a pent-up psychology of this country that is just willing to invest, that is willing to deploy capital, That is willing to take risks.
00:17:36.000You can have a command and control country like China or Russia, which is a very unpleasant place to live.
00:17:40.000He wants to go to our most successful sectors and say, do your thing.
00:17:45.000The left's plan was to view anything that grows or succeeds as suspicious.
00:17:49.000President Trump's His gut and initial reaction, his base case, he starts from the premise that if you are wealthy or rich, you must have had a good idea.
00:18:49.000You know, I was just looking the other day, Charlie, and talking with some other senators.
00:18:52.000You know, in the last 30-plus years, I think it's 35 years, only two times has a president's nominees for his own cabinet not gotten the full support of his own party.
00:19:03.000That's 35 years with nominees from both parties.
00:19:12.000The Constitution entrusts the cabinet to the president.
00:19:14.000These people serve at the pleasure of the president.
00:19:17.000And my view is my role in this is to help President Trump get the strongest possible cabinet who will serve him well and who will implement the agenda that he ran and won on.
00:19:27.000I've had the opportunity now to sit down with a bunch of folks.
00:19:30.000I just came from a meeting with Elise Stefanik.
00:19:50.000What do you have to say about Tulsi Gabbard's nomination chances, what your colleagues are saying, and your opinions on Tulsi Gabbard?
00:19:59.000Well, I think she's making the rounds and sitting down with people face to face.
00:20:03.000And I always think that once you do that, once senators actually meet these folks, whether it's Tulsi or Pete Hegseth or others, once they get to sit down with them and talk to them face to face, it becomes a lot harder To take pot shots and to say, oh, well, I have these generalized concerns.
00:20:18.000I mean, my message to my colleagues is ask to sit down with them.
00:20:28.000Number two, I think as Republican senators, every single Republican senator ought to be able to say easily, 100%, no thought involved, every one of these people should go to a confirmation hearing.
00:20:38.000And any senator who has concerns should at the very least, minimum, Wait until the confirmation hearing has happened where they can hear these people under oath answering questions.
00:22:20.000What really strikes me about all of those folks you just named, Charlie, is that they ran right in tandem with Donald Trump.
00:22:26.000I mean, you've got new senators coming now to the body who agree fully with the Trump agenda that, as you just pointed out, was endorsed by the American people, has been overwhelmingly endorsed by Republican voters, of course, for the decade now, but was endorsed in November by a majority of the American people.
00:22:43.000And I think that is the key thing here.
00:22:45.000For a long time, you look at Capitol Hill, and just to be honest, I mean, everybody knows it, The Republicans on Capitol Hill have been out of step with the rest of the party.
00:22:53.000And what I love about these new senators, each of them brings different strengths.
00:22:57.000By the way, each of them has their own areas of expertise, which are super impressive.
00:23:00.000But as a whole, they are right in line with what our voters are saying, with what Donald Trump ran on.
00:23:06.000I think they're going to be fierce, fierce advocates for the America First agenda.
00:23:10.000And that's something to really celebrate.
00:23:12.000Without a doubt, I think that the party is changing for the better.
00:23:15.000Senator, I do want to get your comments here on something I mentioned in the previous segment, Syria.
00:23:20.000Some of your colleagues are yammering about how we need to get involved and U.S. troops, and not U.S. troops, but they're getting close to saying that.
00:23:45.000And we might want to ask ourselves, do we really need to have a thousand U.S. troops on the ground in Syria?
00:23:51.000I think that what we ought to be doing, number one, is we look at that region, we look at our key ally in the region, that's the state of Israel, and I think we should ask ourselves, how can we further empower our ally, Israel?
00:24:01.000To protect their security and also to look to our shared common interests in the region.
00:24:05.000What we do not want is more American troops, a greater American presence on the ground.
00:24:43.000If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

00:25:48.000I think we are recklessly under these last 40 days of Joe Biden handling this entire situation.
00:25:55.000What is your advice, your counsel to the president-elect when it comes to the Russian-Ukrainian matters, as you have had an opinion that is shared by the American people, however not shared by most of the U.S. Senate?
00:26:07.000I've been rebuffed by my colleagues constantly on this because I haven't been in favor of the hundreds of billions of dollars we spent on Ukraine.
00:26:13.000I tell you what I have been in favor of, Charlie, is tracking every single penny that we've sent to Ukraine.
00:26:19.000And I would just urge the president, the incoming president, to start right there.
00:26:22.000We need to get an assessment of every dime we have spent in Ukraine.
00:26:30.000We deserve to know where every dollar has gone, number one.
00:26:34.000Number two, we should say to the Ukrainians, we're not going to spend any more money, and We're not going to spend any more money in Ukraine right now.
00:26:54.000I am not ashamed to say that I believe in putting America's security interests First, I'm often asked, well, do you want Russia to win or do you want Ukraine to win?
00:27:03.000Well, first of all, nobody wants Russia to win, but who I want to win most of all is the United States.
00:27:07.000We should seek an outcome there that will protect our interests, that will make sure that America is safe.
00:27:13.000And Charlie, the last thing I'll say is...
00:27:15.000I'm excited for Donald Trump to actually tell our allies in Europe that it is time for them to pony up in their own defense.
00:27:23.000They have been free riding on America for decades now.
00:27:39.000And Donald Trump, I think, will deliver that message.
00:27:41.000The Trump cabinet has been assembled and the other tiers are being filled out.
00:27:48.000Legislatively, Senator, there was an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that essentially argued that it's time for a couple reconciliation bills to then lead us towards a border bill out of the gate.
00:28:00.000Do you support that of what Senator Thune is pushing?
00:28:04.000The president has endorsed this idea, from what I can understand, to make sure that we can prioritize border and then taxes in the new year.
00:28:20.000He just ran on and won a platform that every Republican should endorse.
00:28:25.000And I think that Congress ought to be looking to him to say, what do you want to prioritize?
00:28:29.000And I would say if we don't use the reconciliation process to try and get real wins on immigration and energy, for example, in addition to taxes, then we're being really foolish.
00:28:38.000And reconciliation is that congressional talk for that's just using the budget process to be able to get something through the Senate with only 51 votes.
00:28:59.000We've got to get the border closed down.
00:29:01.000And of course, we ought to use it to cut the taxes of working people across this country.
00:29:05.000Senator, I love it, and I agree completely.
00:29:08.000And there are many of these fights that are looming legislatively, including a debt ceiling fight.
00:29:15.000Who knows what Doge is going to be able to do to find and identify the waste, hopefully to be able to cut hundreds of billions of dollars of unnecessary and wasteful spending.
00:29:25.000Really quick, Senator, I do want to get you on the record here.
00:29:29.000Bipartisan lawmakers seek to break up giant healthcare conglomerates.
00:29:34.000One minute, Senator, please walk us through this striking news.
00:29:37.000Right now, we have got these giant insurance companies, Charlie, that are buying up everything.
00:29:43.000Healthcare insurance companies, they're buying up doctor's practices, they're buying up pharmacies, they're buying up hospitals.
00:29:48.000Every American's experienced this because all of your listeners, their bills, their insurance premiums are going up, their access to healthcare is going down.
00:29:56.000A big reason for that is monopolistic behavior by these insurance companies that, frankly, Charlie, was prompted by Obamacare.
00:30:02.000We can get into that later, but this is really what has driven mass consolidation in the healthcare market.
00:30:36.000This is the power of this audience here.
00:30:38.000This is Mark Halpern having a dialogue with former press secretary Sean Spicer and Goodman about how we applied pressure on the senators that were afraid to confirm Pete Hegseth.
00:30:49.000This shows the power of grassroots media, the power of podcasting, the power of what the Charlie Kirk Show and all of you in this audience that support us and that are members of what we are doing has become.
00:31:03.000I have no idea how big of a role of pulling Pete Hegseth Across the finish line from where it seemed as if it was a little in political oblivion.
00:31:12.000Again, we're not taking credit for anything.
00:31:22.000Listen carefully to the team that we have assembled.
00:31:24.000Playcut 83. So, Charlie Kirk tweeted, Senator Rounds, who didn't like what Senator Rounds said about, I think about the FBI director, maybe.
00:31:35.000You're up for re-election in 2026. If you're against any of Trump's nominees, the primary challenge wouldn't be hard.
00:31:41.000Is that something they're fine letting Charlie Kirk and others bandy about, or is this something the Trump political operation might actually do?
00:31:48.000And I thought about this after I saw the Charlie Kirk tweet is if you look, we've talked about how unconventional some of the tactics have been, you know, with Pete in particular.
00:31:59.000Think about what the Heritage Foundation is doing with the ads, what Charlie Kirk and Turning Point are doing, keeping Republicans in line.
00:32:06.000We gave a lot of credit in the last couple of days to quote Pete's team.
00:32:11.000I think a lot of the credit has to go to the outside groups, though.
00:33:06.000We were laughing our butts off at Donald Trump for suspending his door knocking campaign and letting Charlie Kirk and Elon do a bunch of stuff online.
