00:02:50.000We have a great guest right out of the gate that will be able to cover what has happened in the U.S. Senate and many other important topics.
00:02:57.000Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida.
00:02:59.000Senator, thank you for taking the time here.
00:03:02.000Yesterday, you met with Bobby Kennedy.
00:03:04.000We are big Bobby Kennedy fans here on this program.
00:04:10.000That's what I mean, as an American, that's what you want.
00:04:12.000Senator, the impression that people have of Bobby Kennedy is one of the most sinister and yet successful propaganda exercises the media has done the last couple of years.
00:04:24.000We've had Bobby on the show multiple times.
00:04:26.000However, I'm sure you found him very rational, very thoughtful, because the impression that you get on the pharmaceutical funded propaganda networks is that this guy is going to start raiding doctor's offices and take away the polio vaccine.
00:04:52.000He supports vaccines, but he wants you, the American public, to be more informed so you can make an informed decision whether you should get a vaccine or whether your child should get a vaccine.
00:05:04.000And somebody should be held accountable to We're good to go.
00:05:28.000I always tell everybody, I love my mom.
00:06:53.000So, Senator, just last top of part on this topic, which is on Bobby Kennedy, which is if 20 years ago or 30 years ago, you would have just told somebody a Kennedy was going to be a nominee for a cabinet official, you would assume every single Democrat would vote for whomever that is.
00:07:11.000Do you think a single Democrat will vote for Bobby Kennedy?
00:07:15.000Well, I've not heard of any Democrats going to vote for him.
00:07:45.000So this is exactly the type of person you want to serve in the federal government.
00:07:50.000And I'm glad that Donald Trump, what he supported Donald Trump in the election, and number two, that Donald Trump supports him and nominated him for HHS secretary.
00:08:21.000But you won't see Bobby Kennedy doing that.
00:08:24.000So, Senator, let's now talk about Pete Hegseth.
00:08:27.000Pete Hegseth has been the center of a lot of media attention in the last couple of weeks, where he really changed his chances from seeming as if it was unlikely to proceed to now heavily favored.
00:08:38.000What is the status of Pete Hegseth's nomination?
00:08:40.000You being a Navy guy, if I remember correctly, and understanding our military very, very well, Your opinion on, or at least the status report, on Pete Hegseth.
00:08:53.000I believe every Republican is going to vote for Pete.
00:09:22.000You want somebody to run a department of defense that says, oh, he doesn't just willy-nilly want to send troops all over the world, put our men and women in harm's way.
00:09:29.000He knows they need to have the right resources to protect themselves.
00:09:34.000He knows the importance of meritocracy versus wokeness because he lived it.
00:09:39.000That's exactly the person that you want to run in the Department of Defense.
00:09:42.000So I'm glad that he was nominated by Donald Trump.
00:09:45.000I think he's clearly going to be confirmed, and he's going to do a fabulous job.
00:09:49.000And so that's a very serious prediction, Senator.
00:09:54.000You think all 53 that Pete Hegseth is poised to run the table.
00:09:59.000What do you attribute his change in odds over the last couple weeks?
00:10:04.000Why is all of a sudden he is looking as if he's going to run the table?
00:11:05.000Election Day 2024 is in our rearview mirror and conservatives are fired up that President Trump heading back to the White House in January.
00:11:11.000But our fight isn't over and I'm asking you for your help.
00:11:14.000Conservatives for lower health care costs are warning us that Big Pharma and the far left are scrambling to fast track a big government scheme to eliminate free market forces.
00:11:23.000And healthcare before the GOP can take control of the White House and Congress.
00:11:27.000This pharma-backed scheme, called de-linking, would hand a massive $32 billion windfall to the biggest drug companies.
00:11:36.000Hardworking American customers, consumers, seniors, and taxpayers.
00:11:40.000You can help stop Big Pharma's money grab from American seniors and taxpayers by going to pharmawindfall.com right now.
00:11:47.000Congress must reject Big Pharma's scheme to boost drug companies' profits, keep drug prices high, undermine competition in healthcare, and hike healthcare costs for American people.
00:11:57.000Please go now to pharmawindfall.com to join this urgent fight.
00:12:01.000Portions of Charlie Kirkshire are brought to you in part by Conservatives for Lower Healthcare Costs.
00:12:08.000This is an extraordinary piece of tape.
00:12:14.000It's hard to even describe what we're about to watch here.
00:12:18.000This is Rachel Maddow with the head of the ACLU. And this is beyond typical tactics of what the American Civil Liberties Union traditionally would advocate for.
00:12:28.000Usually they say, okay, we'll do some lawsuits to make sure that you don't deport some people.
00:12:35.000Anthony Romero in this clip with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC is talking about how they're going to work with city and local governments to sever their relationships with the federal government.
00:12:50.000Anthony Romero is talking about widespread secession from the United States to protect the foreign invaders who have come into the United States and then pardon millions of illegals.
00:13:05.000This would be the greatest schism, severance, since the American Civil War.
00:13:19.000Anthony Romero is talking about building micro-confederacies across the country.
00:13:25.000If you think I am exaggerating, listen carefully.
00:13:29.000Take out your notebook and take notes.
00:13:33.000This is Anthony Romero, otherwise known as Jefferson Davis, play cut 32. The local governments, you know, the state attorneys general, the governors, the mayors, we have this whole plan around a firewall for freedom, we call it.
00:13:47.000When they're going to try to detain and deport all these hundreds of thousands, up to a million people, that's an operation that they have the legal power to do, to do the raids, but the logistics.
00:13:59.000And they're going to need mayors and governors or city councils to either give them access to police officers or not, jails.
00:14:09.000We're going to house all these folks, right?
00:14:11.000And so part of what we're doing is we're preparing executive orders and we're organizing our folks to put pressures on elected officials so they don't roll over.
00:14:20.000They should sever these relationships they have with the federal government on immigration enforcement.
00:14:24.000They should make sure that our prisons and our jails are off limits.
00:14:28.000They should begin to think about what actions they could take to pardon immigrants who have a criminal record because they drove on a suspended license.
00:14:37.000Well, let's take them out of harm's way.
00:15:23.000If Democrat leaders try to make jail off limits for illegals facing deportation, we should make it so that the jails aren't off limits for the leaders themselves.
00:15:33.000If states and cities revolt against immigration enforcement, it needs to be a complete cutoff of federal funds.
00:15:42.000There was an event in the 1800s called the Nullification Crisis.
00:15:45.000South Carolina thought they could just end and ignore a federal law.
00:16:03.000They've been screaming years about an insurrection because of a couple senior citizens with pocket constitutions once go pray in the Capitol Rotunda.
00:16:11.000Meanwhile, they're openly planning a revolt against federal law, saying we have to sever ourselves away from the federal government.
00:17:35.000If 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.

00:18:33.000Joining us now is Corey Lewandowski, who's doing great work for the Republic right now.
00:18:38.000Corey, great to see you, Senior Advisor to President Trump, amongst many other things.
00:18:43.000Corey, your thoughts on that tape that I played in the last segment of Anthony Romero talking about how cities are disconnecting from the federal government.
00:18:55.000Hey Charlie, let me just be crystal clear.
00:18:57.000Tom Holman has a job to do, and he has been empowered by the President of the United States to go in and find the Fallons who are in these cities, in these municipalities, and if these cities think that they're going to have the opportunity to just say, we're not going to participate, or you're not welcome here, they do not understand the resolve of President Trump or Tom Holman To rid these criminals from our communities.
00:19:20.000It is going to be done with or without the support of the local individuals or those elected officials because the American people have been very clear about this.
00:19:29.000Get rid of the felons, get rid of the illegals in this country, and do it quickly.
00:19:34.000So it's just the idea that they're going to sever ties.
00:19:38.000Can you speak, Corey, about how in the first Trump administration, a lot of the difficult legal legwork was done?
00:19:46.000Remain in Mexico, Title 42, meaning that there was years and years of getting this stuff to the courts.
00:19:54.000In some ways, the table is really set for a mass deportation force.
00:19:59.000And walk us through what Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, soon-to-be DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, will be able to do to help fulfill this mass deportation effort.
00:20:11.000Well, first and foremost, Charlie, look, the most powerful tool we have in our toolbox is Donald John Trump.
00:20:16.000And his truth message that says we're going to close the border clearly had an impact because Justin Trudeau made a pilgrimage down to Mar-a-Lago to talk to him.
00:20:25.000We know that he had a conversation with the president of Mexico and she said, we will help close that border because the first thing to do is to close our border.
00:20:33.000The next thing we're going to do, and people don't remember this, But part of the first Trump 1.0 success was the appointing of federal judges who understand the Constitution.
00:20:44.000Those judges are going to be challenged by the left and the ACLU saying, you cannot deport these people because some of them are American citizens.
00:20:53.000Here's what the president has said, and he was very clear about this on Meet the Press.
00:20:57.000He said, if you are part of a family, or an extended family, and you want to stay with that family, and part of your family members are felons, they are going to be leaving this country, and you can choose to leave with them, or you can choose to stay, but that'll be a decision you make.
00:21:11.000But we are not going to be held hostage because children are going to be separated from felons who are in this country illegally, so Closing the border, the deportation is going to occur.
00:21:21.000We've got over a million people in this country who have final deportation orders, meaning they have nowhere else to go.
00:21:29.000They say you have to leave this country.
00:21:30.000We're going to go find those people and we're going to remove them immediately.
00:21:34.000That's the first step after we get the felons, the rapists, the murderers out of this country.
00:21:38.000So Charlie, that alone is almost two million people who are running around our communities doing no good that we're going to find and we're going to deport very quickly.
00:21:47.000And Corey, can you speak to this a couple of concerns?
00:21:51.000That it does us no good to return someone to Venezuela if they're going to come back in six months.
00:21:56.000That it's necessary to then, of course, have a secure militarized border in addition to the deportation force.
00:22:03.000Will both of those things be working in tandem?
00:22:38.000Just like every other industrialized country in the world has a process to come to this country legally, you follow that process and we want you.
00:22:45.000You try to come illegally, we will stop you.
00:23:48.000You know, Charlie, over the last four or five weeks since President Trump has won, I've had the opportunity to talk to a number of people who have the opportunity to retire from federal service, who say, you know what, because Donald Trump is coming in, we'd like the privilege to stay.
00:24:01.000This is what our mission has always been.
00:24:03.000We got into the law enforcement community to go out and get bad guys, to protect our communities and our neighbors and our friends.
00:24:09.000And by unhandcuffing us, by giving us the opportunity to get away from our desk jobs and going back into the field, we want to do that.
00:24:17.000The other thing we've seen, Charlie, is a massive outpouring of recently retired officers who said, I've done 10, 20, 25 years.
00:24:25.000Let me come back into government service so that we can be in assistance immediately.
00:24:30.000There's a very small amount of training that they have to go back through.
00:24:33.000And we're also seeing massive increases in our recruiting efforts.
00:24:37.000So those individuals who go to the FLEXI, the Federal Law Enforcement Trading Academy, are saying, let us come to Border Patrol now that we know that we'll be able to do our jobs because for the last four years, we've been desk jockeys.
00:24:50.000We're going to put more officers on the street.
00:24:52.000We're going to make sure that our borders are safe.
00:24:54.000Those ICE agents are going to go out and find the bad guys and our communities are going to be better for it.
00:24:59.000So, Corey, now let's talk more broadly about threats against the homeland that we are seeing.
00:25:06.000It's not just the quantity of people, but there are some potential very, very dangerous people as far as Chinese agents or Iranians that might have slipped through.
00:25:17.000What department is responsible for identifying these people?
00:25:20.000And do you think our government currently even knows the bad hombres that are currently domiciling themselves in the interior of the United States?
00:25:33.000You know, I hate to give any credit to 60 Minutes because they're a terrible organization, but they catalog the whole thing of these, you know, these Chinese individuals coming in, these military-age males coming in.
00:25:43.000They're calling an Uber and saying, come pick me up.
00:25:45.000Of course the government knows what's going on.
00:25:47.000They've chosen to do nothing about it.
00:25:48.000As it relates to Iran and our enemies, we know what's going on.
00:25:52.000But these law enforcement officials have been handcuffed.
00:25:56.000They've been stymied from going out and stopping it.
00:25:59.000Those days are coming to an end in five weeks when Donald Trump puts his hand on that Bible.
00:26:03.000And then what's going to happen is we will use every resource available to us.
00:26:06.000We will identify those foreign nationals, those people who are here as allegedly foreign students who are supposed to be doing, you know, college work, who are basically problems coming into this country, and anybody else who's in this country illegally.
00:26:19.000The U.S. Customs and Immigration Services has a record of all of these people.
00:26:23.000The people who have overstayed their visas who shouldn't be here.
00:26:28.000They're going to be out of this country very quickly and our communities are going to be safer.
00:26:32.000So, Corey, can you just talk more broadly about the team that President Trump is assembling?
00:26:38.000How bold, how dynamic, and how issue-ready it is?
00:26:43.000Both of us have the opportunity to kind of be around some of the energy of the transition.
00:26:49.000Can you speak to how this is a day one, minute one, second one prepared operation?
00:26:56.000You know, Charlie, I've had the opportunity to talk to, if not all of, most of the members of the president's incoming cabinet.
00:27:02.000And one thing they have in common is they have a backbone of titanium.
00:27:06.000They are ready for this war that we have been preparing for.
00:27:09.000And I call it a war, Charlie, because when it looks to the mainstream media or the left, they're going to come after us with every single thing possible.
00:27:16.000And the difference in this term from what it was eight years ago when Donald Trump took over was the people are ready.
00:27:24.000He is surrounding himself with fighters.
00:27:27.000And I mean that in a very positive way.
00:27:28.000People who have the same vision as Donald Trump.
00:27:31.000I spoke to one of our nominees yesterday who said he's already met with 11 U.S. senators.
00:27:36.000He's back on the Hill this week and he's got about 40 people already for his particular agency ready to go on day one, January 20th to walk in the door and tell the bureaucrats there is a new sheriff in town.
00:27:51.000Joe Biden signed an executive order that gave federal government employees, I think, five years to continue to work from home.
00:27:58.000I hope and I'm very hopeful that the president rescinds that on day one and says, listen, if you want to continue to get paid by our tax paying dollars, then you better get your butt into the office every single day like everybody in the private sector does.
00:28:10.000That is the mindset of all of his cabinet nominees, of all of his executive team.
00:28:16.000Look, when Kash Patel comes into the FBI, they know that real fundamental and wholesale change is coming to that organization, and it's long overdue.
00:28:25.000Corey, how can people support you and get behind what you are doing?
00:28:29.000And do you plan to go into the administration, Corey?
00:28:31.000I don't even know the answer to this question.
00:28:33.000You know, Charlie, I think I'm probably best on the outside.
00:28:36.000I'm not really much of a rule follower, as you know.
00:28:38.000There's a lot of rules in the federal government.
00:28:39.000And so I've had a great privilege to be outside and help the president.
00:28:44.000He's got a lot of priorities that I want to help him achieve.
00:28:47.000And I'm always best to do that, I think, from the outside.
00:28:49.000So listen, you can find me on True Social.
00:28:51.000You can find me on X. It's just C, Lewandowski underscore, is the best place.
00:28:56.000But guys, we've got a huge opportunity in front of us.
00:28:58.000All that you're doing, Charlie, all that the MAGA movement is doing, We have to hold these U.S. senators accountable.
00:29:05.000We must force them to get our nominees through very quickly, because if we don't, the Biden administration stays on board past January 20th if our nominees are not confirmed.
00:29:40.000These haven't been on sale for over a year and are regularly priced at $198.98, but for a limited time, they're now for $59.98.
00:29:49.000And their six-piece towel sets are back in stock with extremely limited quantities, but only $29.98.
00:29:56.000With hundreds of MyPillow products, there's something for everyone on your Christmas list, from bathrobes, duvets, quilts, down comforters, and so much more.
00:30:04.000Call 800-875-0425 or go to MyPillow.com, promo code Kirk, and save on all MyPillow products.
00:30:40.000I went from Palm Beach to Phoenix to Colorado, Phoenix, LA, then back to Palm Beach.
00:30:45.000Lots going on, obviously back to Phoenix after we're done with this program here.
00:30:49.000And I saw our great friend, Dennis Prager.
00:30:53.000Dennis Prager, of course, from the Salem Radio Network, and more importantly, a mentor and author of the Rational Bible and Happiness is a serious problem, and think a second time, and still the best hope.
00:31:06.000One of the most prolific minds and defenders of the good and of Western civilization.
00:31:12.000I cannot go into any detail exactly what medically Dennis is dealing with, but it's very serious.
00:31:20.000He is making progress, and we were able to communicate with Dennis when I was there, and he was able to say, Something that was so unbelievably powerful.
00:31:35.000And it takes a while for Dennis to communicate for multiple reasons, but piecing it together.
00:31:40.000And I heard Dennis say this for years past, but he updated it.
00:31:44.000So for the last couple of years, the last five years, to be specific, whenever Dennis was asked the question, how are you doing?
00:31:54.000Dennis would answer the question and say, I'm doing better than my country.
00:31:59.000That is how Dennis Prager would answer that question.
