00:00:26.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:12.000 We have amazing news, everybody.
00:01:13.000 We won.
00:01:14.000 We won the White House.
00:01:16.000 And it still has not totally set in.
00:01:19.000 Blake is with us.
00:01:20.000 Blake, how we doing?
00:01:22.000 Has it set in for you yet?
00:01:23.000 I mean, has it really, really set in?
00:01:25.000 It really hasn't, Charlie.
00:01:27.000 Like, I was just thinking, first of all, it feels remarkable that it's already Friday.
00:01:32.000 Like, we've been on air constantly, yet it also just feels like things have been happening so rapidly.
00:01:39.000 It's like time has slowed down dramatically.
00:01:42.000 And...
00:01:43.000 No, it hasn't sunk in.
00:01:45.000 I'm not sure it will sink in until...
00:01:47.000 Maybe until it's all over.
00:01:49.000 Even during the first term, I would always catch myself thinking, Donald Trump...
00:01:54.000 That Donald Trump, he ran for president, he winged it most of the time, he beat the biggest machine ever, and he won, and he is currently president of the United States.
00:02:04.000 And we're kind of replaying that, but now it's even more astonishing.
00:02:08.000 It's like, okay, they indicted him, they shot him, they tried to take away his businesses, they banned him from everything, and he ran again.
00:02:19.000 And again, he was mostly making it up as he went along.
00:02:23.000 And he beat the machine again.
00:02:25.000 It's remarkable.
00:02:27.000 It really is.
00:02:28.000 And it's a nationwide mandate, everybody.
00:02:31.000 The likes of which we couldn't have dreamt.
00:02:34.000 And Blake, we were always resistant of that word, landslide.
00:02:39.000 But it objectively is.
00:02:41.000 And it was an electoral landslide.
00:02:44.000 And again, I just got to keep on bragging on my people.
00:02:48.000 Donald Trump is up six points in Arizona, which is 2.5 points better than his 2016 performance in Arizona.
00:02:58.000 So Donald Trump is, we have now posted, and it's growing by the way, Donald Trump's best ever performance in the state of Arizona.
00:03:09.000 I just awfully invested in this beautiful state.
00:03:12.000 And for all of you guys that knocked on doors and worked, we are turning this into the Florida of the West, everybody.
00:03:18.000 This is going to become a beacon of freedom and liberty.
00:03:21.000 If you live in the West and you are tired of tyranny in Colorado or California, consider moving to Arizona.
00:03:27.000 Donald Trump wins by six points, everybody, and growing.
00:03:30.000 This is a place to move with your family.
00:03:32.000 We'd love to have you.
00:03:34.000 And let's keep on turning this place.
00:03:37.000 into a beacon of freedom.
00:03:39.000 Harry Enten, who is Blake Neff's former classmate, goes through the mandate of support play cut 325.
00:03:48.000 Holy Toledo.
00:03:49.000 All right.
00:03:50.000 Trump gained ground in 49 states and the District of Columbia compared to 2020.
00:03:55.000 I went back through the record books.
00:03:56.000 When was the last time a party gained in so many different places?
00:04:00.000 You have to go all the way back to 1992 when Bill Clinton improved upon Michael Dukakis' performance in 49 states plus the District of Columbia.
00:04:10.000 The bottom line is no matter where you looked on the map, Kate Baldwin, no matter where you looked, Donald Trump was improving on where he did four years ago, except for Washington State.
00:04:21.000 I checked, by the way, Charlie.
00:04:22.000 Except for Washington State.
00:04:23.000 And he says, holy Toledo.
00:04:25.000 And Trump did four and a half points better in Toledo, Ohio, than he did in 2020.
00:04:32.000 Let me just be clear, though.
00:04:34.000 Why is Washington not doing as well?
00:04:36.000 Because they're all moving to Arizona.
00:04:37.000 All right, let's play cut 326.
00:04:40.000 It's just like, oh my goodness gracious.
00:04:42.000 These are the types of groups that you would never have thought that Donald Trump would have gained so much support among eight years ago when he first won against Hillary Clinton.
00:04:49.000 Trump's was the best GOP showing among 18 to 29 year olds in 20 years.
00:04:54.000 You have to go all the way back to 2004.
00:04:56.000 How about among black voters?
00:04:57.000 It was the best performance for a Republican candidate for president in 48 years since Gerald Ford back in 1976.
00:05:04.000 And among Hispanic voters?
00:05:05.000 The exit polls only go back since 1972, but Donald Trump's performance on Tuesday was the best for a Republican presidential candidate in exit poll history.
00:05:16.000 I'll be honest, realignment doesn't really capture this.
00:05:19.000 Blake, I've been told my entire life, you're older than I am, but not a lot.
00:05:24.000 Were you alive in 1988?
00:05:26.000 I was born in 1990.
00:05:27.000 Okay, got it.
00:05:28.000 So you're only three years older than I am, and I won't forget that.
00:05:31.000 So the point is that in 1988, you and I... Actually, no, 1988 would have been...
00:05:37.000 Bush!
00:05:37.000 No, I'm talking about 1984.
00:05:39.000 Bush-Dukakis.
00:05:40.000 Yeah, and that wasn't as triumphant as 84.
00:05:43.000 We have...
00:05:44.000 And again, this is the modern-day 1984.
00:05:46.000 And I don't mean it in Orwellian terms.
00:05:48.000 But can you build that out, Blake?
00:05:50.000 Meaning, long gone are the days where you, like, flip New Jersey.
00:05:53.000 But getting within four points in New Jersey, that is the modern-day 1984.
00:05:56.000 Yeah.
00:05:57.000 Do you agree, Blake?
00:05:59.000 Exactly, Charlie.
00:06:00.000 The truth is, there are fewer swing voters overall.
00:06:04.000 America is more polarized.
00:06:06.000 There's kind of a cap to how strong or how weak you can be.
00:06:11.000 I feel like probably Obama in 2008 was maybe the last time some of the states you saw him get will ever be up for grabs because 2010, the country diverged.
00:06:21.000 So What the equivalent of a 1984 or even a 1988 where Bush did win pretty handily is you just get every state that is reasonably up for grabs and you make the opponent states way closer than they should be.
00:06:35.000 So there were seven swing states going into this race.
00:06:38.000 Donald Trump swept all of them and they were able to call all of them on election night.
00:06:43.000 And then as a bonus, he's doing...
00:06:46.000 You know, eight, nine points better than expected in New Jersey.
00:06:49.000 He's making states that were supposedly edge cases for him, like Florida, into laughably one-sided races.
00:06:57.000 They look as red as California looks blue.
00:07:00.000 And you just have this sea of red all over the place.
00:07:03.000 We love posting that arrow map.
00:07:04.000 And we'll be posting it more once Arizona finally gets its results done and California finally gets their results done.
00:07:10.000 And it will be great.
00:07:12.000 Yes, that's right.
00:07:12.000 I want to just reiterate another element of this, though.
00:07:15.000 That Obama, when Obama won in 2008, that you do remember, Blake.
00:07:19.000 There was this feeling amongst the conservative movement in 08 and 12 that the country has permanently profoundly shift to the left and that there's almost no changing it.
00:07:30.000 And now we are 16 years later than 2008.
00:07:34.000 And this is the most conservative the country has been in my lifetime.
00:07:37.000 I want you guys to understand that.
00:07:38.000 This is the most conservative America has been in our lifetime.
00:07:41.000 And for all the doomers and all the gloomers, it can get better.
00:07:45.000 And can I say something?
00:07:47.000 Just get this off my chest, Blake.
00:07:49.000 I saved in my inbox 3,000 emails.
00:07:53.000 Of people that said, Charlie, Trump will never win.
00:07:56.000 They'll never let him win.
00:07:57.000 You guys were wrong.
00:07:58.000 I'm sorry.
00:07:58.000 That kind of dooming mentality, I hope you guys repent and you check that out the door because that was not helpful to anybody.
00:08:05.000 That kind of cynicism, that kind of it's never going to happen.
00:08:09.000 The can-do spirit of America triumphed.
00:08:12.000 And no matter what in life, you should never get into doomerism.
00:08:15.000 And there was a lot of it.
00:08:16.000 Charlie, you're wasting your time.
00:08:18.000 They're just going to steal it again.
00:08:19.000 And actually, no, it turns out we can win and we did win.
00:08:22.000 It turns out that the American people spoke and the American people shed the woke mind virus in record triumphant numbers.
00:08:31.000 Blake, one minute remaining.
00:08:32.000 Can you speak to how the country was in 2008?
00:08:36.000 And 16 years later, it's a remarkable element of the story because you felt in 2008 like this country was becoming profoundly left-wing.
00:08:44.000 They hyped it up.
00:08:45.000 I remember the headlines, Time Magazine, I think the New York Times talked about it.
00:08:49.000 They would talk about Obama, and this all went in with the cult around Obama, that he was the smartest, most brilliant orator, political leader in our lifetimes.
00:08:59.000 It was truly remarkable to see.
00:09:00.000 And the hype was he could be the new FDR.
00:09:04.000 He could do a new New Deal.
00:09:05.000 He could implicitly build a dominant political coalition that would win for decades on end and not really be challenged.
00:09:14.000 And part of this was there was this weird racialized triumphalism where they would say these – they didn't have the term yet, but they were saying these deplorables are going away.
00:09:24.000 There's a new multiracial coalition.
00:09:26.000 It will be democratic forever.
00:09:28.000 And Donald Trump came along and smashed that to bits.
00:09:31.000 In Texas, he won whites.
00:09:33.000 He won Hispanics.
00:09:35.000 He won Asians.
00:09:36.000 He won American Indians nationally.
00:09:40.000 It's a great thing for the country because it means our politics are not racialized in the way the left wants them to be.
00:09:46.000 you Hey, this is Charlie Kirk from my friends at besthotgrill.com.

00:10:50.000 What a beautiful email.
00:10:52.000 Charlie, you're right.
00:10:53.000 I'm a pessimist by nature and I was the one who emailed you saying the fix is in.
00:10:56.000 That's why I thought Kamala didn't need a campaign much.
00:10:58.000 I humbly apologize.
00:10:58.000 I mean that.
00:10:59.000 Thanks for all I do.
00:11:00.000 Amy, no worries.
00:11:01.000 Thank you.
00:11:01.000 I just want to say it's less about what we...
00:11:03.000 I get the attitude.
00:11:04.000 It's just about you should never allow that to rub off on other people because if everybody believed that, then we would have lost.
00:11:12.000 And it made our job hard enough that we had to defeat the left.
00:11:15.000 And I do appreciate that email.
00:11:16.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com and subscribe to our podcast.
00:11:20.000 Let me read this tweet here, word for word.
00:11:23.000 And while we do that, can we get my favorite red map up?
00:11:26.000 Blake, this is my new favorite map, by the way, Blake.
00:11:28.000 I'm going to make a shirt of this.
00:11:30.000 My new favorite map.
00:11:31.000 We need to take a moment to appreciate just how dominant Trump's win really was.
00:11:35.000 Democrats have no hopeful trends to look to.
00:11:37.000 In 2016, Trump won, but he did worse than Mitt Romney in a lot of the country.
00:11:42.000 He bled support in suburbs and urban areas, and he made red areas redder, but also blue areas bluer.
00:11:47.000 In 2024, everything changed.
00:11:49.000 Donald Trump made red America redder than ever before, but he also made blue America redder than it has been in a generation.
00:11:56.000 Miami-Dade County is 22 points more Republican than it was eight years ago.
00:12:00.000 It's more Republican than any year since the Reagan 1984 landslide.
00:12:04.000 America's most Hispanic mayor city is also, major city is also the most Republican.
00:12:09.000 Cook County, by the way, this is what's so amazing.
00:12:11.000 My hometown of Cook County, which is incredibly left-wing and as crooked as a $3 bill, we're also live on AM560 Answered.
00:12:20.000 Listen, Cook County is 11 more points Republican than it was four years ago.
00:12:24.000 Trump is the first Republican to break 30 point percent there since 1988.
00:12:29.000 My Chicagoans rose up.
00:12:30.000 I love you guys.
00:12:31.000 And mind you, Blake, can we just take a second here?
00:12:36.000 Blake, they did their convention in Chicago.
00:12:39.000 It was amazing.
00:12:39.000 They did their convention in Chicago, right?
00:12:42.000 They did their convention in Chicago and they do 11 points worse.
00:12:46.000 They literally had all the attention on their agenda in the city of Chicago and they do 11 points worse.
00:12:52.000 Trump made Boston, Detroit, New York City, Fairfax County, Memphis, and Philadelphia all at least five points more Republican.
00:12:59.000 I got to give credit to Tony Fabrizio and the Trump team.
00:13:02.000 They were telling me this, right, Blake?
00:13:03.000 I was telling you this.
00:13:04.000 I was like, man, the Trump team, they trust their data.
00:13:07.000 They said this thing's going to be a wave across the country.
00:13:09.000 And I was not skeptical, but I was like, is it going to be that big, guys?
00:13:13.000 And they were right.
00:13:15.000 Starr County in Texas is 98% Hispanic.
00:13:20.000 The most Hispanic county in America and has literally never voted for a Republican in its history until Tuesday.
00:13:27.000 Donald Trump got 57% of the vote this year, beating Mitt Romney's figure there by 43 points.
00:13:34.000 Anson County, North Carolina, is 45% black and has only voted Republican once in 1972.
00:13:40.000 But Donald Trump just flipped it red with room to spare.
00:13:43.000 He won it by three points, the same amount he won all of North Carolina by.
00:13:47.000 Exit polls in Texas show that Trump didn't just win the white vote.
00:13:50.000 He won outright majorities of both Hispanic and Asians.
00:13:53.000 Exit polls show that Donald Trump won American Indians nationwide.
00:13:57.000 God bless them.
00:13:57.000 The entire country has revolted against the Democrat Party and their vision for America.
00:14:02.000 The media mocked us this entire time.
00:14:05.000 They were setting Charlie Kirk, Turning Point Action, and Elon Musk up for failure.
00:14:10.000 But we trusted our data and we trusted our work.
00:14:14.000 We were registering voters, we were chasing ballots, and Van Jones realizes it.
00:14:19.000 Play cut 329.
00:14:21.000 And here's how we got beat.
00:14:22.000 We got beat because the Republicans and the Conservatives built a different media system that had to do with online, had to do with podcasts, had to do with streaming platforms, and they were spending their money there.
00:14:34.000 We were laughing at them.
00:14:36.000 And knocking on doors in Philadelphia and Detroit was like, there's no Trump people.
00:14:39.000 They're not dropping literature.
00:14:40.000 They're not knocking on doors.
00:14:42.000 Well, in fact, it was laughing like, oh, Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk, their PACs don't know what they're doing.
00:14:47.000 We were making fun of Donald Trump for having thrown away his ground game and doing some weird stuff online.
00:14:54.000 We thought that they were idiots.
00:14:56.000 It turned out we were the idiots.
00:14:57.000 We woke up in a body bag because while we were knocking on doors, they were making these phones into...
00:15:04.000 24-hour-a-day political weapons for themselves.
00:15:06.000 And so we got outflanked, outplayed, outbeat by people who told us the whole time that they knew what they were doing.
00:15:12.000 You're right, Van Jones.
00:15:14.000 The Kamala campaign was too busy mocking us and not doing the work.
00:15:17.000 And we were doing the work.
00:15:18.000 You know why?
00:15:19.000 We had a thousand full-time people on the ground chasing low-propensity ballots.
00:15:23.000 And you guys were mocking us the entire time.
00:15:25.000 Oh, Charlie just does memes.
00:15:27.000 Charlie just, you know, posts images.
00:15:29.000 They just do graphics at Turning Point.
00:15:31.000 Don't take them seriously.
00:15:33.000 All these people are like, oh, we're going to see the ground game materialize, LOL, because Charlie Kirk is running it.
00:15:38.000 Well, it actually turns out, again, I wasn't the only one running the ground game.
00:15:42.000 But that's the way the media narrative was framed, because they were setting us up for failure.
00:15:46.000 Turns out, we won.
00:15:48.000 We won.

00:17:14.000 We have the legendary Glenn Beck, who was super kind to have me on his show today and has had a profound impact on my life.
00:17:20.000 Glenn, welcome to the program.
00:17:22.000 We did it, Glenn, and you played a huge role as we persevered.
00:17:26.000 I want to play a piece of tape, though, Glenn, that I think you will appreciate, which is of our mutual now-passed-away friend, Rush Limbaugh.
00:17:35.000 And this was one of the last things he ever said.
00:17:37.000 Let's play cut 328.
00:17:39.000 We are not sunk yet.
00:17:41.000 We will never surrender.
00:17:43.000 We will never give up.
00:17:44.000 Never, never, never.
00:17:46.000 It's not who we are.
00:17:47.000 It's not what we do.
00:17:49.000 We never give up.
00:17:51.000 Now, let's remember, everybody, that was right before Rush passed away.
00:17:54.000 I do too.
00:17:55.000 But remember how dark things seemed then.
00:17:58.000 Joe Biden and the Democrats controlled everything.
00:18:00.000 And now let's just enjoy how we feel today.
00:18:03.000 Glenn, welcome to the program.
00:18:05.000 What are your thoughts?
00:18:06.000 Thank you.
00:18:07.000 I feel, you know, Charlie, you've watched me and listened to me long enough to know and we know each other.
00:18:12.000 I'm not usually a ray of sunshine.
00:18:17.000 And I think I was on your show last time I was on your show.
00:18:19.000 I said, I can think of a million ways this goes wrong, but I can only think of one way that we survive this, that we come out and we're together, and that's God.
00:18:30.000 We need a miracle.
00:18:31.000 And I And that miracle came in many forms.
00:18:37.000 First of all, the saving of Donald Trump.
00:18:40.000 But also, I think that was like a purifying moment for him.
00:18:45.000 I think he had gone through so much fire.
00:18:48.000 But I think it all just distilled at that moment.
00:18:51.000 And the way he came together, he was the perfect candidate.
00:18:57.000 I think he was as good, if not better, than Ronald Reagan.
00:19:02.000 He was on target all the time.
00:19:07.000 He was a happy warrior.
00:19:10.000 He pulled things off that nobody else could have pulled off.
00:19:14.000 He was very, very focused on what he needed to do.
00:19:18.000 He put a fantastic team, including you and your team, around him.
00:19:25.000 Lara Trump was a miracle.
00:19:27.000 The first time I've ever felt good about the GOP. Was this time.
00:19:32.000 They can't get themselves out of a wet paper bag.
00:19:35.000 And this time, I mean, I had full confidence in them.
00:19:40.000 You know, on election day, you know, we had heard about cheating going on here or here or suspected cheating.
00:19:46.000 And, you know, I called right away and Laura would be like, we're on it.
00:19:51.000 We got it.
00:19:51.000 We got it.
00:19:52.000 Every time.
00:19:53.000 So when election day came, for the first time in my life, I could say with confidence to my audience, just call your local GOP. They're probably already in court with this, but just let them know in case they don't know.
00:20:09.000 I mean, it was just a series of...
00:20:14.000 Perfect timing and perfect execution.
00:20:18.000 It was amazing.
00:20:20.000 Amazing.
00:20:21.000 And we just must appreciate how the American people made the right decision.
00:20:25.000 Glenn, when you were on the program last, we said this would be a question on can the American people resist Ferocious, nonstop propaganda in a 90-day period.
00:20:34.000 Yeah.
00:20:34.000 And we passed the test.
00:20:35.000 Yeah.
00:20:36.000 Was COVID a metaphorical Pearl Harbor moment where people will then look at the world differently after that, in the sense where they're not going to take propaganda at the same weight.
00:20:47.000 It's going to change their viewpoint completely.
00:20:50.000 There is no going back to how things were.
00:20:53.000 Do we have a population that is more skeptical of corporate power?
00:20:57.000 That is more...
00:20:57.000 Yeah, please, your thoughts.
00:20:59.000 Yes.
00:21:00.000 Okay, so here's the thing, Charlie.
00:21:02.000 First of all, I wouldn't put it in the category of Pearl Harbor or 9-11 because that was one event that happened one day and it changed everything.
00:21:10.000 This was a slow drip.
00:21:14.000 So maybe a 9-11 or Pearl Harbor in slow motion.
00:21:18.000 It started out slow, but it woke enough people up, not the entire nation, but it woke enough people up that Look at the Weinsteins and people like that,
00:21:34.000 Lindsey, people that were really icons on the other side that started to go, wait a minute, I don't think I'm with them, but I'm not with the Democrats.
00:21:49.000 This is lie.
00:21:50.000 This is not freedom.
00:21:52.000 And that's what I think was the beginning of breaking The average person saying, this is wrong.
00:22:03.000 I can't live this way.
00:22:05.000 And that just slowly spreading.
00:22:07.000 And then when you look at this now a few years later, and you see everything that we said, Everything that we said was right.
00:22:17.000 It did start in a lab in Wuhan.
00:22:20.000 We were involved.
00:22:21.000 Fauci was making money.
00:22:24.000 They were in bed with the pharmaceutical companies.
00:22:27.000 They were working with social media to silence people.
00:22:31.000 All of that came undone.
00:22:35.000 And that's the Pearl Harbor moment.
00:22:37.000 If you could put it all together, that's the Pearl Harbor moment.
00:22:40.000 And then on top of it, it started to trickle It had enough time to check on all of the stories and see, wait a minute, you told us that that happened, and we were conspiracy theories because we said it was the other way, and that was wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong, and people just started to realize they're lying to us all the time.
00:23:05.000 Now, again, not the entire—I feel bad for the people that really, truly believe that That Donald Trump is a Nazi, that women are gonna be, you know, their heads are gonna be on a pike or whatever they're saying today.
00:23:19.000 I feel sorry for those people who have been so grossly misled.
00:23:23.000 When they wake up, they're going to be very pissed at the media and the left.
00:23:29.000 But the best thing that came out of this, and about a week before he was on Joe Rogan, maybe a couple of weeks, because he hadn't agreed yet.
00:23:37.000 And they were saying that maybe he's gonna be on Joe Rogan.
00:23:40.000 And I said...
00:23:42.000 I don't know why that happened, because that will be the end of the mainstream media.
00:23:47.000 Because he'll go on Joe Rogan, and he'll get, you know, 100 million people to watch.
00:23:53.000 And it will affect the election, because he'll perform well.
00:23:57.000 And every politician will say after this, Why would I go do a debate on ABC or CBS that gets maybe 15, 20 million people and it's all set up?
00:24:12.000 It's not real.
00:24:13.000 When I could go on Joe Rogan and spend three hours, he'll ask me honest questions.
00:24:20.000 I can be myself and let the people judge for themselves who I am.
00:24:25.000 It's over.
00:24:25.000 The mainstream media is over.
00:24:28.000 This is exactly right.
00:24:30.000 I want to play Joy Reid, who identifies the Joe Rogan experience element here.
00:24:36.000 Let's play cut 330.
00:24:38.000 Did exist was a massive media ecosystem pumping into the heart of MAGA, run by the internet bros Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, which this year handled much of the get-out-the-vote operations for Trump's campaign.
00:24:53.000 Only for Trump to close it out with celebrity podcast host Joe Rogan in what would become Rogan's most watched episodes in more than a decade.
00:25:02.000 But behind the curtain is disinformation king Elon Musk, who helped to elect Trump and enrich himself by using ex-Twitter to push out his preferred candidate, frequently with misinformation.
00:25:19.000 Glad I want to let you loose on this.
00:25:21.000 Comment deeper, though.
00:25:23.000 Lies do not stand in long-form podcasting because they get cross-examined.
00:25:28.000 It gets flushed out.
00:25:30.000 When we're in the pursuit of truth, that format benefits us.
00:25:35.000 Glenn Beck.
00:25:36.000 So it not only benefits us, it is the only way.
00:25:41.000 It's why they want to stop us from talking to each other.
00:25:44.000 It's why they've encouraged us to stop talking to our family.
00:25:48.000 It's why they've done their best to silence people on the other side.
00:25:52.000 It's so funny because...
00:25:54.000 I was in the mainstream media and hated every second of it.
00:25:58.000 And they said, you know, you just got to go online or something because you have no place here in the mainstream media.
00:26:05.000 And I'm like, okay, that's fine.
00:26:07.000 So I started The Blaze, did my own thing.
00:26:09.000 the first guy to come out and try to move a massive audience over.
00:26:15.000 And when we did it and it was successful, then they realized, oh, crap.
00:26:21.000 And then everybody else started doing it.
00:26:23.000 I mean, look at the power of the podcast.
00:26:27.000 It was coming anyway.
00:26:29.000 And they just thought we'll put all of these crazy people online because they thought they could control it at the time.
00:26:38.000 But as we're seeing in almost everything, we don't necessarily do these things because we're busy doing our life.
00:26:47.000 We're not, you know, look at you.
00:26:49.000 Who has ever on our side done a get out the vote campaign like you have done?
00:26:56.000 Only the Democrats.
00:26:57.000 But when they force us to do these things, we get better than they are quickly.
00:27:03.000 And then they then they're like, oh, wait, wait, that's a problem.
00:27:07.000 And then they have to shut you down.
00:27:09.000 You know?
00:27:10.000 It's just the same old record over and over again.
00:27:15.000 What they don't understand is everything is about to change.
00:27:20.000 And that's not just because of Donald Trump.
00:27:22.000 That's because of AI, quantum computing, everything.
00:27:29.000 The life as we know it We have a chance of withstanding the AI that is coming.
00:27:50.000 And take those big corporations and bring them to heel on doing things like Google did on the day of the election.
00:28:02.000 This influencing people without knowing that they're being influenced.
00:28:09.000 One thing I haven't heard from Donald Trump yet, and I really am anxious to ask him, is will you repeal The executive order that Barack Obama put in that allows our spy agencies to use propaganda on our own people and our own citizens here in America.
00:28:31.000 That got no press when Barack Obama did it.
00:28:34.000 It's got to stop.
00:28:39.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:28:40.000 A large retail store just canceled a huge order, leaving MyPillow with a ton of extra pillows.
00:28:44.000 But you know what?

00:29:41.000 We got five minutes.
00:29:42.000 You can do it uninterrupted.
00:29:43.000 Ideas, personnel, creative things.
00:29:45.000 The floor is yours.
00:29:47.000 Okay, just off the top of my head here, I wasn't really prepared for this.
00:29:51.000 Do not put Jamie Dimon in as the Treasury Secretary or the head of the Fed.
00:29:58.000 You know, fight the Fed.
00:30:00.000 Close the Fed would be even better, but fight the Fed on things.
00:30:05.000 Put Vivek Ramaswamy as maybe the Treasury Secretary.
00:30:09.000 He's not part of that system.
00:30:12.000 I'm afraid of another Jamie Dimon getting in there who would be...
00:30:16.000 You know, he's not a friend.
00:30:20.000 We need to clean out the top level of the Pentagon.
00:30:23.000 All of those generals up at the top, they all came through the ranks because they're political players.
00:30:30.000 put somebody like Tulsi Gabbard in charge of cleaning house there.
00:30:35.000 She doesn't have to be the secretary of defense, although she wouldn't necessarily make a bad one, but somebody that can come at it and is not a big conservative and everything else.
00:30:47.000 This one is easy.
00:30:48.000 All you have to do is look for the people who want to fight to win and those who want to play politics.
00:30:54.000 Anybody play politics?
00:30:56.000 Get them out.
00:30:58.000 Elon should be on the cuts right now.
00:31:01.000 He should have a copy of the budget right now, and he should be looking at that.
00:31:06.000 And Musk should also play some role with the With the deep cuts in regulations as well.
00:31:14.000 I hope Donald Trump just takes, like he did last time, I'd like to see it double.
00:31:19.000 Just cut the regulations.
00:31:22.000 Remember, we have an election in 2026.
00:31:25.000 It's going to favor the Democrats, no matter what we do.
00:31:28.000 And it's going to be hard to keep the Senate and everything else.
00:31:31.000 So he really has two solid years.
00:31:34.000 But remember, Ronald Reagan, when he started this, it wasn't really until 83, 84, where everything really started to show up and be good.
00:31:43.000 So he may not have, you know, the best story to tell in two years unless he gets everything done in his first hundred The way to juice the economy is to cut regulation, cut all of this crap that everybody has to go through.
00:32:02.000 He should fire all those 80,000 IRS agents.
00:32:07.000 Absolutely.
00:32:08.000 I am actually willing to listen and probably could support if he could make the numbers work on going back to the way we were, abolishing the 16th Amendment, getting rid of income tax.
00:32:23.000 If he can't get rid of the income tax, then he should make it so low.
00:32:27.000 Remember, Coolidge cut our income tax by 50 percent and cut the regulation and all of the spending by 50 percent in the first year.
00:32:38.000 The second year, he came in and did it again, cut it by another 50 percent, and that gave us the roaring 20s.
00:32:45.000 He should be looking at the Coolidge kind of cuts in both taxes and in spending and regulation like Coolidge did.
00:32:54.000 Just take a hatchet to it because that will bring the economy roaring back.
00:33:00.000 We don't need a 25 or a 21 percent income tax rate.
00:33:07.000 We need, at the most, a 15 percent I, again, am for abolishing it, but if the numbers would work.
00:33:17.000 Let's see.
00:33:18.000 We talked about this earlier today.
00:33:21.000 I'm for the Mike Lee plan of J.D. Vance being the head of the Senate.
00:33:26.000 Thune couldn't be, you know, if he won't go with Tim Scott, then it should be J.D. Vance, because those other two would be an absolute nightmare.
00:33:36.000 I really took him at his word when he said, we'll shut down the Department of Ed.
00:33:42.000 I'd like to see that in a few others.
00:33:45.000 RFK being in charge of making America healthy again.
00:33:50.000 I think this is brilliant.
00:33:52.000 I wouldn't put him in charge.
00:33:55.000 I would have him have a real effect on suggestions.
00:34:00.000 The only reason why I'd say don't put him in charge is I'm not sure...
00:34:05.000 He's right on everything.
00:34:07.000 But when it comes to big pharma, when it comes to all of that, when it comes to the FDA, he's 100% right.
00:34:14.000 FDA is worthless, as is most of the...
00:34:20.000 The other stuff.
00:34:20.000 But just really quick, Carrie Lake just won 58% of the latest vote drop in Maricopa.
00:34:25.000 That was 23,000 votes, which is six points better than what she needs to close the gap.
00:34:30.000 That is a big, big drop right there.
00:34:32.000 So she is very much in the game right now.
00:34:35.000 There's a lot of points on the board here.
00:34:39.000 Yeah.
00:34:40.000 Lee said she's the one he wants the most because she'll die fighting on the hill.
00:34:45.000 Glenn, God bless you, my friend.
00:34:47.000 You're an American patriot and a mentor.
00:34:49.000 Thank you.
00:34:49.000 God bless you.
00:34:50.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
