Let me ask you something, folks. Did you know that the seven banks have failed in the last
00:00:04.520
two years? Your money now has 20% less purchasing power than it did just four
00:00:09.900
years ago when Joe Biden took office. Well, the Human Events audience knows to expect the
00:00:15.300
unexpected, especially when it comes to the economy. That's exactly why we've partnered
00:00:20.300
with today's episode sponsor, Allegiance Gold. Gold has been the one commodity that stood strong
00:00:25.680
for thousands of years. Through wars, recessions, and financial collapses, gold has stood the test
00:00:31.620
of time because gold doesn't depend on Wall Street, doesn't depend on politicians or the
00:00:36.120
value of paper money. It's real, it's tangible, and it holds its value when everything else falls
00:00:41.580
apart. I partnered with Allegiance Gold because they can show you how to diversify your savings
00:00:47.440
with gold and silver and protect you with what you've worked so hard for. Go to

All right, everybody. Welcome to Thought Crime Tuesday. It's not a Thursday this time. I am
00:01:35.920
Andrew Colvett, producer Andrew. I am joined by Blake Neff and Tyler Boyer tonight. My earpiece
00:01:41.840
keeps falling out. Charlie will be joining us momentarily, as will Jack Posobiec. We're getting
00:01:46.560
the stream going, letting the juices flow here from Phoenix, Arizona, in preparation of President
00:01:52.960
Trump's address to a joint session of Congress. He's dubbing this evening as the renewal of the
00:01:59.540
American dream, which I think is apt. And since it's not a state of the union, it's actually
00:02:04.640
something sort of different. He was invited by Speaker Mike Johnson to do this. Normally
00:02:08.860
we would have a state of the union. Next year we'll have a state of the union. So renewal
00:02:13.760
of the American dream, that's the theme. It looks like we've got senators coming into the
00:02:17.840
main hall. Let's make sure we get that picture in picture there, guys, so people can sort of
00:02:22.440
follow along visually. J.D. Vance has been spotted. Tom Homan. Borders are. We're looking
00:02:29.320
at different images. I mean, there's a lot of people filtering into this room. President Trump's
00:02:34.280
supposed to start in about 15, 14 minutes. It's still a little ways out, but it takes
00:02:39.400
a little while to get all those people, wrangle all those cats. So what are we expecting to
00:02:43.340
hear tonight? Obviously, Blake Tyler, the tariff issue is prime tonight. We just levied
00:02:49.460
an additional 10% tariff against China. We did 25% against Mexico and Canada. Now we're hearing
00:02:56.540
that he might be willing to walk that back. There's a lot of negotiations going behind the
00:03:00.740
scenes. Set the stage here. Blake, Tyler, either of you can take this. What do you expect to hear
00:03:07.380
Yeah, it's very interesting because usually with the state of the union, it's, you know,
00:03:11.400
the president sets his agenda for maybe the whole year or he's bragging about what he's
00:03:15.440
already done, which Trump can definitely do that. He came out with a bang. But you don't
00:03:19.260
usually associate these speeches with like breaking policy news where a lot's up in the air.
00:03:25.460
But a lot has been up in the air just the past five days. We had the blow up with Zelensky
00:03:30.680
where, you know, mineral deal was dead. Zelensky left. He was pausing military aid to Ukraine.
00:03:37.020
Now there's reports just a few hours ago that Zelensky is open to, you know, renegotiating the
00:03:42.320
peace process, opening that up. Then with tariffs, we have Trump come out and say, we're imposing
00:03:47.520
20% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. We're doing new tariffs on China. Canada comes out and is retaliating,
00:03:54.420
saying they're going to impose similarly large tariffs on the U.S. But then Trump, then Trump
00:03:59.160
says, yeah, like that we might have, I don't know if Trump announced it. Yeah, he's ready. He says
00:04:05.800
he's ready to escalate. He truth that he's ready to escalate again. But then I believe Secretary of
00:04:10.740
Commerce came out and said, I think it was kind of Nick. Yeah. Yeah. And he came out and said, well,
00:04:15.200
we might actually have a deal to pause it by tomorrow. Yeah. So we may literally have a case where
00:04:21.000
we could get breaking news on either of those topics tonight or even maybe the Gaza piece
00:04:27.080
process that's been going on in the background as well. Well, I'll add to the tariffs. He also
00:04:31.280
talked about the farm tariffs for the exports outside the country, which that's also freaking
00:04:37.860
out Mexico and so many others because they're so dependent on a lot of what we produce within the
00:04:44.740
country too. So yeah, there's a lot to talk about to your point. And it's really exciting. And I hope,
00:04:50.360
I was saying in the chat with the team, I hope he says stuff that his team doesn't even know he's
00:04:54.780
going to say. I hope Trump goes off script. He doesn't even know he's going to say it. He's going
00:04:59.040
to get in the moment. He's going to be like, you know, I'm just going to say it. And I hope he comes
00:05:02.400
out with it. And just like, because this is, I think this is the pacing that's making us successful
00:05:07.800
is Trump is staying so far ahead of the media that it's making. I totally agree. Your life a little
00:05:14.580
bit crazy. No, yeah, totally. But I mean, Charlie's like a little crazy, but your life a little crazy,
00:05:19.000
but it's, it's so good. Here's the way, here's the way this works though. All right. So normally
00:05:24.200
in politics, somebody comes out with one big, big thing, right? It's Obamacare. Yeah. And the next
00:05:30.780
six months politically is spent arguing about the merits or drawbacks of Obamacare and how is the
00:05:36.960
website working? And in that six months, you have all this time to come up with thought pieces and
00:05:41.820
there's position papers. And then the economists weigh in about the pros and cons and the pluses
00:05:46.560
and minuses. Trump is doing the equivalent of a political Obamacare unilaterally via the
00:05:53.320
executive branch, which he has the authority to do. Obviously people feel differently. They're
00:05:58.120
challenging that in the courts. He's doing this on a daily basis, just about. And so the thought
00:06:03.320
pieces and the think pieces and the think tanks and the economists, they can't keep up with the
00:06:07.560
outrage. I just want to note, we have, we have breaking imagery. I think they just had
00:06:11.800
it up on stage. Now they cut away, but Elon Musk put on a suit. Oh, wow. He's in, he's in the
00:06:18.680
chamber. I believe JD and Speaker Johnson are in position. I've seen JD already. Yeah. JD and
00:06:25.120
Speaker Johnson just for everybody. There's Don Jr. Don's in the back of the room. Yep. And I just
00:06:30.120
want a preview for him and hello. We're on YouTube as well, as well as Rumble. I just wanted to say
00:06:34.840
Charlie will be joining us. He's not with us yet. We'll be watching the speech when it begins
00:06:39.040
and we'll be reacting afterwards. He was busy showering after a long day. It's amongst
00:06:45.920
Democrats. I can't blame him. Yeah. For those of you who didn't see the tweet heard around
00:06:49.960
that thing's got like 3 million engagements already. Charlie was contaminated. Charlie and
00:06:54.400
I was in the room. Blake was in the room. We, we lived to live to tell a, tell the tale
00:06:58.960
here. Uh, but yeah, Charlie was on Gavin Newsom's podcast. And from what we can tell, there was
00:07:04.240
one warmup episode and then Charlie, and I don't think with, they didn't tell me who, but
00:07:08.840
it didn't sound like it was as, it was as a big of a person. And they basically said,
00:07:13.380
this is kind of, you know, he had to, he had to get one under his belt. And I think that's
00:07:16.940
important. Fair enough. I saw who it was. Who was it? I don't know. I don't even know if
00:07:20.260
they've announced it or not, but Charlie's like six five. He's a very big. Well, and
00:07:24.800
then, so Charlie's going to sort of like, you know, and by the way, I'd love to know
00:07:27.640
your thoughts out of the gate here in the comment section. Charlie Kirk does Gavin Newsom's
00:07:32.300
podcast. It was, I don't want to give it too much away. It's going to be exciting. It's
00:07:36.080
going to be exciting. It was, it will be one of the most enjoyable, entertaining, you
00:07:41.880
know, and even talk about this politics and culture and entertainment sort of overlap in
00:07:46.080
these ways, like it or not. This was politics meets entertainment. It's actually
00:07:49.980
just remarkable to think about. We got one of the most notable liberal governors versus
00:07:54.900
one of the most notable conservative of any kind. By the way, the biggest economy in the
00:08:00.500
country, the fifth largest economy in the world, if you took it by itself, to sit down
00:08:04.520
and to their credit, they invited Charlie and it was great. So anyways, I'd love to know
00:08:08.800
your thoughts in the chat. Do you think we're giving Gavin Newsom opportunity to pivot?
00:08:14.740
Because he's obviously going to be thinking about running for president a few years. Or do you
00:08:18.020
think this is exactly what we should be doing as Americans? I've seen both sides on social
00:08:24.380
Here's what I'll say for people, our conservatives that are concerned. There's no reason to be
00:08:28.820
concerned. The last time that Charlie went on podcasts with a Democrat that was thinking
00:08:33.720
about running for president, he promptly quit the Democrat Party and endorsed President Trump.
00:08:41.300
So listen, you have to, you have to give it your all. Like if you're worried about Charlie
00:08:47.740
Kirk moving position wise, I just, you haven't known Charlie. Mike Lee was like, he didn't
00:08:53.220
turn you. Did you? Did he? Charlie replied back with a, with a smiley face, like a laughing
00:08:58.720
face. Um, you know, anyways, I, I just think, I think it's a, Oh, I heard Charlie.
00:09:04.420
No, I think Speaker Mike Johnson's announcing the president right now. I could be wrong.
00:09:08.500
I think I heard Charlie. So no, that was, that was, uh, that was Ryan. He's just letting
00:09:12.300
us know Speaker Johnson speaking. Do we want to go there? I think, I think Speaker Johnson
00:09:16.160
is just announcing the entry of the president. I could be wrong. All right, here goes JD.
00:09:21.580
Appoints the following senators as members of the committee on the part of the Senate to
00:09:26.480
escort the president of the United States into the house chamber. The Senator from South
00:09:31.560
Dakota, Mr. Thune, the Senator from Wyoming, Mr. Barrasso, the Senator from Arkansas, Mr.
00:09:37.840
Cotton, the Senator from Oklahoma, Mr. Lankford, the Senator from West Virginia, Mrs. Capito,
00:09:44.940
the Senator from South Carolina, Mr. Scott, the Senator from New York, Mr. Schumer, the Senator
00:09:51.200
from Illinois, Mr. Durbin, the Senator from Minnesota, Ms. Klobuchar, the Senator from New
00:09:57.400
New Jersey, Mr. Booker, the Senator from Wisconsin, Ms. Baldwin. The members of the Escort Committee
00:10:21.680
Parliamentary procedure, so they have to send them out. So now they're out in the lobby.
00:10:26.300
They meet the president, they all shake his hand, and then they come in and remember, so
00:10:30.880
this is actually kind of a cool story. Speaker Johnson was nice enough, Andrew and I, the day
00:10:35.100
before inauguration, Andrew and I actually went down to the Capitol to see the Rotunda,
00:10:43.680
It was cool. We hung out with some of our really close friends that are influential in
00:10:49.860
the space, too. And while we were there, we met the Sergeant at Arms, who's the guy that's
00:10:56.760
going to come out and he's going to announce the president. That's his job. So I think they
00:11:00.260
do that for State of the Unions. I'm pretty sure he'll do the same thing for the joint,
00:11:05.900
What does he do when he's not announcing the president?
00:11:10.180
Yeah, he runs the keep it running a tight ship. So he showed us everywhere where there's bullet
00:11:15.180
holes in the chamber and everything else. But he's a bit of a maitre d' as well as the
00:11:21.100
He was very cool, very kind. So you're going to see him. So he's kind of the famous, infamous
00:11:27.940
guy who will come out. And this room that they're in is very small.
00:11:34.040
It looks huge on TV. And when you actually get in there, it is really small.
00:11:41.120
The chairs, the sitting places are tiny. It's really... Right, Andrew? It's probably
00:11:47.660
It's deceptively... I mean, the TV just makes it look like this grand hall. Are we going
00:11:54.800
No, they're all standing and talking still. You can...
00:11:59.540
There's probably a couple of different groups that will come in first. Like, this is...
00:12:04.440
As long as people are waving and giving thumbs up, we're probably not at a full presidential
00:12:09.400
arrival. We have Nancy Mace blowing kisses to somebody, giving thumbs up.
00:12:19.180
So some of the interesting points that are going to happen here is, again, you have a
00:12:22.820
full room. So if you didn't see the news, the president has invited... It was about a
00:12:27.280
dozen what they call everyday Americans. So people that have a really normal...
00:12:34.920
Honorable story that he's going to cover. So a big chunk of his speech, 12 people is
00:12:41.860
a lot of people. So covering each of their stories and what they went through, just as
00:12:46.840
your money whole point to them, they're probably going to be sitting near the family that's
00:12:50.620
up in the top. So where Trump is speaking stage right, so to his left, or stage left, I should
00:12:58.560
say, to his right on TV. So that's what you're going to see a lot of. So you're going to hear
00:13:05.420
these stories in between some of the policy things and how they support his policy positions
00:13:11.360
A lot of people in the comments are asking if Charlie is there live. No, Charlie will be
00:13:15.060
joining us on this stream after the speech is over. He's just... He's occupied right now.
00:13:20.540
He's had a long day. He's had a very long day. He's had a long day. He's decontaminating
00:13:24.060
from the Gavin Newsom. And the speech will be at nine, so it's just a matter of minutes.
00:13:27.740
In a science laboratory situation, you got to make sure you're completely free of all
00:13:33.840
Yeah, no. Charlie will be joining. He's going to be watching and chiming in. I would love
00:13:39.100
to know your guys' thoughts, though. In the chat, do you think it was the right move for
00:13:42.020
Charlie to go on the podcast? Is it a wait and see with Gavin Newsom? Or do you think
00:13:47.860
it's totally the right thing to do? I happen to be of the opinion that it was the right
00:13:51.140
thing to do, but I also saw how it went. And Charlie...
00:13:53.800
Question from the chat. How long is the speech? Nobody knows. I think it's slated for about
00:14:01.340
Nobody knows with Trump, because he might just pause, kind of work the room. He might
00:14:05.600
ad-lib, do his... What do they call it? The Trump tangents? The weave.
00:14:10.860
I think he goes... I think he should just go for four hours. Just don't stop. Just keep going.
00:14:15.020
I think that would be a mistake. In theory, if he just kept going, what would happen?
00:14:19.580
Yeah, just never stop. And then meanwhile, come right off, and then sign 10 more executive
00:14:26.880
It's like three years later, and he's still just like, and they were very unfair to me
00:14:30.860
with how they reported the size of the crowds at my inauguration.
00:14:34.380
This was a record inauguration. Chicken son, I guess, starts in three minutes. Yeah, well,
00:14:39.560
it starts in two minutes now, but it's President Trump. He might be a little bit late.
00:14:45.760
One other thing... Seems like they're running on time.
00:14:48.000
One other thing for the chat. So guys, when we get back and we come out of this
00:14:51.480
stream, when the President gets done speaking, think of some good questions
00:14:55.900
here. We're going to go to the chat and talk about, debate some of the items
00:15:00.000
here. So, you know, what you love, what you wish you heard more of, what you can't
00:15:06.040
wait to hear more about. We want to have some debate, some talk about that. I know
00:15:11.320
Charlie will be up for it, even though he's had a heck of a day here.
00:15:15.120
Yeah, it's Logan, log 23, which his name is Logan, says, Charlie will destroy Gavin
00:15:20.260
Newsom. As somebody who was there, Logan, I can assure you that it was a gentlemanly
00:15:26.720
chat. It was combative at times. Like, it went in and out of being combative, but I
00:15:32.940
definitely think Charlie got more than a fair share of his points in. I have to say,
00:15:38.900
I was very, very pleased with that win. He should have ghosted Newsom and not done
00:15:45.240
the thing. Gavin has a state to fix and run. Well, I mean, here's the thing. Gavin
00:15:49.640
is a, he's a lame duck governor at this point. He, his term is up in 2026. And
00:15:57.940
then thoughts are that he's going to pivot. So that was the argument against doing
00:16:01.580
it. Do you help him sort of present more moderate to the world? Here's the, at the
00:16:05.980
end of the day, I think, you know, he's got a challenge because California is kind
00:16:09.880
of broken. He doesn't have a whole lot to show for himself. So I think Charlie was
00:16:16.720
Um, how are we doing on, on, uh, where are we at in the proceeding here? It looks like,
00:16:22.100
it looks like they're pretty ready for president Trump. It's full. They're just waiting for him
00:16:25.260
to show up and chatting away. Uh, all right. Uh, let's go ahead and, uh, let's get a little
00:16:31.600
sound here so we can listen in. Keep our mics open here. It's just white noise. Once they announced
00:16:40.660
the president, we can pretty much cut through. So as soon as they announced the president guys,
00:16:45.620
we'll, we'll probably cut out and we'll be back again. Uh, just as soon as we're, as we're done,
00:16:51.820
as the president wraps up and we'll go right into commentary with Charlie.
00:16:55.900
Yeah. It's, it's funny too, because, you know, we have a wall here with all of the
00:17:00.120
different like broadcasts and, uh, you know, it, it's, it's funny because they're all obviously
00:17:06.780
arguing about, uh, the tariffs and they're trying to make a high drama out of that. And it is high
00:17:12.100
drama in this in one sense, but, um, it's just, our perspective on the show is probably so much
00:17:19.260
different than what they have to like say on the, you know, on the news media or that I happen to
00:17:24.360
feel that Trump is playing very hard. He's willing to go hard, but as soon as somebody concedes to him
00:17:30.240
and does what he wants, it's going to be over. Um, I don't think we have to overly be concerned
00:17:34.580
about it. That's my personal take on tariffs. I, Blake, maybe you have a different take on it,
00:17:38.180
but I can sort of tell that that's all the, the intrigue, like what's Trump going to say about
00:17:43.000
this? And I mean, look, this is probably one of, you know, anytime you have a state of the union or
00:17:47.480
joint session or a joint address, you have a moment where you probably get hundreds of millions of
00:17:56.020
dollars worth of, of media outcome. He gets to strike all of the successes here worldwide. So,
00:18:01.980
so this is the moment to scare the living daylights out of every country. They're scared. This is,
00:18:07.800
I mean, they already are, but it's like, it's one thing to have like a press conference where you say
00:18:11.800
something and gets picked up and it's worth millions of dollars worth of earned media. This
00:18:15.640
is tens of millions of dollars, maybe a hundred plus million dollars worth. So he's, he's got pomp and
00:18:20.900
circumstance of the joint session. I mean, you gotta hit it hard. This is such a, a flex internationally.
00:18:27.000
I mean, as much as every, like our institutions have been sort of, I don't know, it's like the, we've,
00:18:33.160
we've seen the veil's been torn. We've seen behind the sausage making, like our institutions are not
00:18:37.920
what they want, what they once were. This still feels big and powerful. And especially, can you
00:18:43.520
imagine watching halfway around the world, seeing the joint session, seeing Trump, he's gonna, he's
00:18:49.000
talking about, we know from the, from the title of it, it's the return of the American dream. He's going to
00:18:54.060
strike a triumphant tone. He's going to go through all of the, his accomplishments, which
00:18:57.360
are myriad. There are so many to recount. We can't probably, I can't even remember all the
00:19:01.940
things he's done. Um, and so he's probably going to list it out and he's going to, he's
00:19:05.720
going to basically, I think he's going to say that, listen, the world's going to bow
00:19:09.940
to these things, whether it be tariffs or peace in, in Ukraine. We also got a signal today
00:19:15.660
from, from Vladimir Zelensky that he wants to work this out. He wants peace. Um, and we're
00:19:21.300
hearing that Canada wants, you know, free trade. Oh, we've got some clapping going on. So Trump
00:19:26.280
is, I think, I think he has a lot of momentum behind him, a lot of, a lot of reason to be
00:19:30.320
confident. I think this is where the family's entering. So if I'm not mistaken, I already saw
00:19:35.080
Ivanka. It looks like, it looks like right now, Milani is entering. So that means that she left the
00:19:39.200
president's side. So the president's going to be up next. As soon as she sits, you should expect
00:19:43.780
there's Milani. And she's got, she's got Lakin. I think. Well, yeah. Yep. And then we've got
00:19:49.600
Lakin Riley's mother, I believe. Okay. I am here guys. Oh, we have Charlie. Charlie's hopping on
00:19:54.300
Charlie. We're just about to have the president come out. Milani Trump just sat down. Charlie
00:19:57.940
Kirk. Great. Wonderful. Hey guys. Great to see you. Sorry. It's been quite an eventful day. I will
00:20:03.800
one day tell you the tale of what happened today. Uh, that is a private tale. Uh, I might come back
00:20:09.280
down to the studio, but we'll see. And, uh, I know we're going to enjoy an amazing, uh,
00:20:14.040
state. Well, it's like a state of the country, uh, American dream address.
00:20:22.420
Welcome to the president's cabinet. Catch it afterwards.
00:20:31.600
What a cabinet too. Charlie Kirk, you should take some pride in that, my friend.
00:20:35.840
The cabinet, a great group of people, wouldn't you say?
00:20:40.520
Yeah. I mean, and the, the, by the way, I think they accomplished and you got to give
00:20:44.400
credit to Thune as well, but I'm especially JD Vance, in my opinion, for working behind
00:20:48.720
the scenes, but the amount of approvals and appointees that have been confirmed.
00:20:52.720
I mean, um, is really, is really something. So it's truly a project 20, 29 cabinet.
00:20:59.120
That's what I tell. Wow. Oh gosh. Here we go. Did she just take project 20, 25 and raise
00:21:05.840
this 20, 29, just project 20, 29 cabinet. Oh, it's a lot of preparation. You got to think ahead.
00:21:15.440
Well, cool. So now we've got, so the first lady sitting, uh, getting seated right now,
00:21:20.240
Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio, really hitting me that we have a member of the, like the most famous
00:21:24.960
member of the Kennedy family is walking in, shaking hands as a member of a Republican president.
00:21:32.560
Oh my gosh. Uh, and there, yeah. RFK is shaking, uh, Lauren Boebert's taking a selfie with Lauren
00:21:38.560
Boebert. Yeah. The HUD secretary, uh, there is, that's HUD. That's, uh, there's Duffy.
00:21:46.880
It's a good bunch. It's a, I mean, honestly. Oh, there's Andy Biggs. There's our man,
00:21:55.600
Eli Crane and Andy Biggs. Andy Biggs right next to APL. APL. These are our guys. These
00:22:01.360
are the turning point crew right here. We've got, uh, we've got APL. Oh, look. Governor,
00:22:08.240
Senator Scott. Mike Lee has just shook Marco Rubio's hand and Eric Schmidt from Missouri. Oh,
00:22:13.760
and there's Joni Ernst. Joni Ernst, uh, voted for Hegseth. We can, uh, appreciate that.
00:22:21.200
She's really trying to come back. Oh, there's Hegseth. I didn't actually see. Hegseth's right
00:22:24.640
there, standing very close to Joni. With his American flag, uh, lapel. Eric Schmidt is tall.
00:22:30.640
Eric Schmidt is really tall. I did not know that he comes on our show all the time. And, uh, but you
00:22:34.800
know, you're on a, you're on a zoom. Charlie, any thoughts before we welcome the president in? Yes,
00:22:43.360
sir. I, I am processing. This is a momentous moment. I actually might come down and join you
00:22:47.920
guys. I just sorted out what I needed to sort out, but, uh, it's pretty amazing to see all of our
00:22:52.080
hard work combined to this crescendo and, uh, praise the Lord. Just enjoy it is my advice,
00:22:57.600
everybody at home. Don't overanalyze it. Just sit back and say, what a change. What a moment.
00:23:03.040
Praise the Lord. So let's enjoy everybody. And, uh, I'm probably gonna come down and see you guys in a
00:23:06.880
moment. Love it. Looking forward to it. And think about too, like just Charlie said, enjoy it.
00:23:12.160
Think about too, what could have been, think about the disaster we could be watching right now.
00:23:18.320
If everybody that's listening to our voices right now, didn't get out and work,
00:23:23.520
do the ballot chasing, uh, support, getting the word out, knowing what's going on. I mean,
00:23:30.480
people were really, uh, I think frightened after we lost rush and because they didn't know what was
00:23:37.040
going on. And there was a moment there that it felt like it. And to like the, the listening base
00:23:43.440
here, that's, that's that are avid, uh, Charlie Kirk show listeners, uh, have come right on. They,
00:23:49.920
they're part of this and they're part of this in even a deeper way. You know, love, we love rush.
00:23:55.040
He was incredible. He was so brilliant. And he kept everybody informed what was happening down
00:23:59.360
in the swamp. But you know, we, we also have all of the flex muscle that's happening in the
00:24:05.760
grassroots. And that's different that that's changed from, you know, the Obama era where
00:24:11.840
it was just like, we had rush and talk radio. And by the way, not only that, but all of these, uh,
00:24:18.160
voices online that, that helped amplify and spread the message. I mean, everybody deserves so much credit
00:24:24.080
for what our country has accomplished in just, you know, since November 5th and the election
00:24:30.880
that changed the, the future of, of this country and changed history, uh, a truly momentous moment.
00:24:37.200
And everything that's happened since, since January, uh, 20th and onward is really been tremendous.
00:24:43.840
And, uh, to Charlie's point, it's, there's so much to appreciate here. Take a second,
00:24:48.320
take, take a step back and appreciate all that's happened and everything that we have to be thankful
00:24:54.240
for. Uh, there's a lot of battles ahead. There's a lot of fights, but, uh, there's a lot to be grateful
00:24:58.560
for. I totally agree. And, uh, as somebody who felt like they hadn't really rested since January 6th,
00:25:04.880
2021, uh, I'm going to take a moment here and really absorb this and, uh, appreciate everything
00:25:10.560
that's been accomplished in the interim. Let's see. Do we have any comments from our viewers before
00:25:20.560
the president comes out? Uh, we've got dream team cabinet, uh, people like your take on rush Tyler.
00:25:30.720
And remember, it wasn't that long ago in a state of the union that we had,
00:25:33.920
that rush was being recognized for his, uh, his life achievements by the president. Again,
00:25:42.240
no other president ever did that. No one else gave rush that love. You've got a cabinet that's full of,
00:25:49.360
you know, as Charlie puts them as wingers, as strong conservatives, that support what we do.
00:25:55.440
Look at all the hot pink they've got in the, uh, Democrat half. It looks like they must be celebrating,
00:26:00.080
uh, they must be celebrating, uh, Fat Tuesday. Why do they always do that? I can't stand that
00:26:04.720
about the left. I'm going to be really honest. I find it very cringe. Uh, when they all wore white
00:26:09.360
that one year and we would do that if we were in the, you know, I think both sides do their stunts.
00:26:15.280
No, no, we don't. No, we don't. We just like not in unison, not like this, you know, this whole,
00:26:19.600
this whole thing where things like you lie, exactly. But like, that's like one off and it's not
00:26:24.880
like coordinated, but this whole, you know, this whole video where there's 22 senators saying
00:26:28.800
that's that, that S word is a lie or some, whatever the thing was, that was so freaking
00:26:35.200
uncomfortable for me to like watch unfold. And I just felt like they made them all look like such
00:26:40.480
fools. And this is basically like, you know, we're all going to wear the same color to protest.
00:26:45.040
What? Well, you know, it's a, it's a gimmick to get on CNN or MSNBC to explain their outfit choice
00:26:50.480
and what it meant. And I can't stand it. And I just find it completely the the theater of it,
00:26:56.560
the theatrical nature of it. I just find it really sort of disgusting. There's Scott Besson and
00:27:02.960
Tulsi, Mark Wayne Mullen, Russ Vogt, Sean Duffy. That was a little power click right there.
00:27:09.760
Yeah. Mark Wayne Mullen is giving Sean Duffy the bro hug. And there's Mike Waltz,
00:27:14.640
National Security Advisor there. I think they probably entered earlier.
00:27:17.040
Yeah. John Roberts, Kavanaugh, Amy. Are they all there? Or just the kind of sympathetic ones?
00:27:22.320
ACB. I see Kav. I see Roberts. I see ACB. Is that Kagan? I think Kagan's there. I think she's between
00:27:30.880
Roberts and I think is that Kavanaugh or Alito? That's Kavanaugh. I don't see Alito. I think that's
00:27:38.560
I think that's Kagan between them. That's Kagan. I don't see Kagan. I don't see KGB. I don't see KGB.
00:27:48.240
The one at the end is Roberts, isn't it? No. Oh, the other end? Yeah. Is that?
00:27:53.600
Is that? It's like the Supreme Court justice nobody talks about.
00:28:00.000
Is that Alito? No, it's not Alito. I'm getting bad at this. I'm getting bad at my Supreme Court jujitsu.
00:28:08.560
Uh, hold on. I got you. It is. I don't even know who that is. It's not Gorsuch. It's not Kavanaugh.
00:28:16.880
Yeah, it's not Gorsuch. Now I'm really confused. Uh-oh. Who was that? Was it like a federal judge?
00:28:20.720
Is there someone who's just, is it like an emeritus judge? Like, did they bring in Kennedy as an emeritus?
00:28:26.240
Oh, that's probably what it was. Can he come in? Yeah, it probably was that.
00:28:28.880
Is it something? Because I was going to say, it looked like, yeah, it looks like, yeah.
00:28:32.400
I think you're right. It's still alive. Yeah. Maybe it is. Now I've got to go venture down.
00:28:38.240
No, because I've got them all here. I don't see Ketanji.
00:28:43.360
Oh, is it Breyer? Would it be Breyer? No, that's Kennedy. No, he retired.
00:28:49.840
Yeah, I thought it was Kennedy, but I didn't want to say that because I was like, not on the court anymore.
00:28:52.640
But yeah, that's totally him. I guess they can just come out of retirement to hang out at-
00:29:00.560
Okay. Four sitting members. Yes. Yep. All right. Four sitting members are there. Roberts, Kagan, Kavanaugh, ACB, and then Kennedy is also present.
00:29:09.360
I'm surprised Thomas and Alito aren't there, but-
00:29:14.400
I guess Alito soured on it after Obama went and like crapped on him during one of his speeches. Remember that? I think it was over-
00:29:23.600
Was that Obamacare? No, it was over Citizens United, I think. Yeah, Citizens United, I think that's right. He just, uh, he convinced about it. Oh, here we go. All right, they're gabbling it in.
00:29:36.400
Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States!
00:29:40.400
Here's to see all of you when the speech is over. Yep. Enjoy.
00:29:44.400
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States!
01:24:09.220
To criminalize the publication of such images online is a terrible, terrible thing.
01:24:15.900
And once it passes the House, I look forward to signing that bill into law.
01:24:22.760
And I'm going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don't mind, because nobody gets
01:24:34.740
But if we truly care about protecting Americans' children, no step is more crucial than securing
01:24:43.280
Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States.
01:24:47.560
Many of them were murderers, human traffickers, gang members and other criminals from the
01:24:53.360
streets of dangerous cities all throughout the world.
01:24:58.140
Because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous open border policies, they are now strongly
01:25:06.740
But we are getting them out and getting them out fast.
01:25:11.300
And I want to thank Tom Holman and Christy, I want to thank you, and Paul of Border Patrol.
01:25:32.620
Border Patrol, ICE, law enforcement in general is incredible.
01:25:38.860
Last year, a brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named Lakin Riley, the best in her class,
01:25:59.300
admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia.
01:26:05.860
That morning, Lakin was viciously attacked, assaulted, beaten, brutalized and horrifically
01:26:13.580
Lakin was stolen from us by a savage, illegal alien gang member who was arrested while trespassing
01:26:21.140
across Biden's open southern border and then set loose into the United States under the
01:26:27.700
heartless policies of that failed administration.
01:26:34.280
He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat-run sanctuary city, a disaster, before
01:26:46.320
With us this evening are Lakin's beloved mother, Allison, and her sister, Lauren.
01:27:07.740
Last year, I told Lakin's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter would
01:27:24.400
That's why the very first bill I signed into law, as your 47th president mandates the detention
01:27:32.680
of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
01:27:56.300
So Allison and Lauren, America will never, ever forget our beautiful Lakin Hope Riley.
01:28:24.400
Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration
01:28:33.120
And we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers ever recorded.
01:28:54.740
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation.
01:29:05.960
But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
01:29:34.680
Joe Biden didn't just open our borders, he flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our
01:29:41.020
schools, hospitals, and communities throughout the country.
01:29:44.780
Entire towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation
01:29:57.680
Now, just as I promised in my inaugural address, we are achieving the great liberation of America.
01:30:20.360
Here tonight is a woman I have gotten to know, Alexis Nungary from Houston, wonderful woman.
01:30:28.800
Last June, Alexis' 12-year-old daughter, her precious Jocelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store.
01:30:36.940
She was kidnapped, tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge and horrifically murdered.
01:30:44.360
Arrested and charged with this heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela,
01:30:49.640
released into America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
01:30:56.300
The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched
01:31:04.640
Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter.
01:31:10.940
And earlier tonight, I signed an order, keeping my word to you.
01:31:17.800
One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so much, she loved nature.
01:31:23.560
Across Galveston Bay from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you will find a magnificent national
01:31:30.100
wildlife refuge, a pristine, peaceful 34,000-acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures on the
01:31:44.100
Alexis, moments ago, I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful daughter,
01:31:53.640
So, Mr. Vice President, if you would, may I have the order?
01:32:29.980
All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Laken's murders were members of the Venezuelan prison
01:32:40.480
gang — the toughest gang, they say, in the world — known as Tren de Aragua.
01:32:46.800
Two weeks ago, I officially designated this gang, along with MS-13 and the bloodthirsty Mexican
01:32:52.500
drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
01:33:13.880
They are now officially in the same category as ISIS, and that's not good for them.
01:33:20.980
Countless thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the U.S. by the Biden administration.
01:33:27.760
But now, every last one will be rounded up and forcibly removed from our country, or, if
01:33:33.760
they're too dangerous, put in jails, standing trial in this country, because we don't want
01:33:42.280
With us this evening is a warrior on the front lines of that battle, Border Patrol Agent Roberto
01:34:16.160
In January, Roberto and another agent were patrolling by the Rio Grande, near an area
01:34:22.960
known as Cartel Island — doesn't sound too nice to me — when heavily armed gunmen
01:34:32.400
Roberto saw that his partner was totally exposed at great danger, and he leapt into action,
01:34:37.440
returning fire, and providing crucial seconds for his fellow agent to seek safety just — and
01:34:47.120
I have some of the prints of that event, and it was not good.
01:34:52.980
Agent Ortiz, we salute you for your great courage and for your line of fire that you took, and
01:35:25.360
And I actually got to know him on my many calls to the border.
01:35:32.800
The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal
01:35:38.000
cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control — they have total control over
01:35:45.180
a whole nation — posing a grave threat to our national security.
01:35:50.340
The cartels are waging war on America, and it's time for America to wage war on the cartels,
01:35:59.140
Five nights ago, Mexican authorities, because of our tariff policies being imposed on them — think
01:36:17.340
of this — handed over to us 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country.
01:36:30.140
But we need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done, and they have to stop
01:36:44.940
I have sent Congress a detailed funding request, laying out exactly how we will eliminate these
01:36:50.860
threats to protect our homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history,
01:36:57.420
larger even than current record holder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a moderate man,
01:37:03.500
but someone who believed very strongly in borders.
01:37:07.420
Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can sign it into law.
01:37:13.340
And also, Mr. Speaker, John Thune, both of you, I hope you're going to be able to do that,
01:37:25.580
I'll sign it so fast, you won't even believe it.
01:37:28.140
And as we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law and order to our cities
01:37:57.900
In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by radical left lunatics.
01:38:07.980
Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders,
01:38:14.860
while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me.
01:38:20.460
My administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair, equal and impartial justice under
01:38:28.300
the constitutional rule of law, starting at the FBI and the DOJ.
01:39:09.260
We're also, once again, giving our police officers the support, protection, and respect
01:39:18.060
They have such a hard, dangerous job, but we're going to make it less dangerous.
01:39:22.780
The problem is the bad guys don't respect the law, but they're starting to respect it,
01:39:29.180
This also includes our great fire departments throughout the country.
01:39:32.860
Our firemen and women are unbelievable people, and I will never forget them.
01:39:38.220
And besides that, they voted for me in record numbers, so I have no choice.
01:39:41.820
One year ago this month, 31-year-old New York police officer Jonathan Diller,
01:39:58.220
unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer, was gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island.
01:40:09.660
The vicious criminal charged with his murder had 21 prior arrests, and they were rough arrests.
01:40:18.460
The thug in the seat next to him had 14 prior arrests and went by the name of killer.
01:40:25.500
He killed other people, they say, a lot of them.
01:40:27.580
And I attended Officer Diller's service, and when I met his wife and one-year-old son, Ryan,
01:40:39.820
His widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight.
01:40:46.060
Stephanie, we're going to make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero, New York's finest.
01:41:11.020
And we're going to get these cold-blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets,
01:41:24.620
They hit people over the head, back of the head with baseball bats.
01:41:31.100
I have already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a
01:41:36.860
police officer, and tonight I'm asking Congress to pass that policy into permanent law.
01:41:55.580
I'm also asking for a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for
01:42:03.420
America's police officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed.
01:42:18.860
Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police.
01:42:26.060
He is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
01:43:02.940
But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.
01:43:15.700
The doctors gave him five months, at most, to live.
01:43:44.800
Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.
01:43:50.860
And DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times.
01:43:58.860
The police love him, the police departments love him.
01:44:02.260
And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
01:44:06.860
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent
01:44:50.960
DJ's doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was younger.
01:45:00.960
Since 1975, rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40 percent.
01:45:07.960
Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new Presidential Commission to Make America Healthy Again,
01:45:13.960
chaired by our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
01:45:32.960
With the name Kennedy, you would have thought everybody over here would have been cheering.
01:46:02.960
Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply, and keep our
01:46:11.960
As an example, not long ago, and you can't even believe these numbers, one in 10,000 children
01:46:21.960
had autism, one in 10,000, and now it's one in 36.
01:46:30.960
So we're going to find out what it is, and there's nobody better than Bobby
01:46:34.960
and all of the people that are working with you.
01:46:36.960
You have the best to figure out what is going on.
01:46:58.960
My administration is also working to protect our children from toxic ideologies in our schools.
01:47:04.960
A few years ago, January, little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's
01:47:10.960
school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl.
01:47:16.960
Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her
01:47:22.960
daughter to use a new name and pronouns — they, them pronoun, actually — all without telling
01:47:30.960
January, who is here tonight and is now a courageous advocate against this form of child abuse.
01:47:57.960
Stories like this are why, shortly after taking office, I signed an executive order banning
01:48:02.960
public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.
01:48:17.960
I also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the
01:48:34.960
And now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children
01:48:41.960
and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.
01:48:47.960
And our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made
01:49:02.960
Because we're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of our military, and it's
01:49:39.960
Our service members won't be activists and ideologues.
01:50:04.960
And he's not big into the woke movement, I can tell you.
01:50:09.960
I am pleased to report that in January the U.S. Army had its single best recruiting month
01:50:14.960
in 15 years and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever
01:50:28.960
And you know it was just a few months ago where the results were exactly the opposite.
01:50:42.960
Now we're having the best results just about that we've ever had.
01:50:55.960
They love our country and they love being in our military again.
01:51:02.960
We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call of duty.
01:51:17.960
Jason's father, grandfather and great grandfather all wore the uniform.
01:51:23.960
Jason tragically lost his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy when he was just a boy.
01:51:31.960
And now he wants to carry on the family legacy of service.
01:51:35.960
Jason is a senior in high school, a six letter varsity athlete, a really good athlete.
01:51:40.960
They say a brilliant student with a four point four six.
01:51:47.960
And his greatest dream is to attend the U.S. military academy at West Point.
01:51:53.960
And Jason, that's a very big deal getting and that's a hard one to get into.
01:52:22.960
But I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted.
01:52:53.960
Jason, you're going to be on the long gray line, Jason.
01:53:05.960
As commander in chief, my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future.
01:53:11.960
As a first step, I'm asking Congress to fund a state of the art Golden Dome missile defense shield to protect our homeland.
01:54:01.960
And we're going to protect our citizens like never before.
01:54:04.960
To boost our defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the American shipbuilding industry,
01:54:12.960
including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding.
01:54:17.960
And for that purpose, I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of shipbuilding in the White House
01:54:29.960
and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America where it belongs.
01:54:39.960
But we're going to make them very fast, very soon.
01:54:44.960
To further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.
01:54:59.960
Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal
01:55:09.960
and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other canals.
01:55:14.960
The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others.
01:55:23.960
But it was built at tremendous cost of American blood and treasure.
01:55:38.960
They paid them very highly to go there, knowing there was a 25 percent chance that they would die.
01:55:44.960
The most expensive project, also, that was ever built in our country's history,
01:55:52.960
It was given away by the Carter administration for one dollar.
01:55:57.960
But that agreement has been violated very severely.
01:56:02.960
We gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back.
01:56:22.960
Now, we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.
01:56:26.960
Marco's been amazing, and he's going to do a great job.
01:56:33.960
You know, he was approved with actually 99, but the 100th was this gentleman.
01:56:45.960
And I'm either very, very happy about that or I'm very concerned about it.
01:57:08.960
And I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland.
01:57:15.960
We strongly support your right to determine your own future.
01:57:22.960
And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America.
01:57:26.960
We need Greenland for national security and even international security.
01:57:31.960
And we're working with everybody involved to try and get it.
01:57:34.960
But we need it really for international world security.
01:57:49.960
We will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before.
01:57:53.960
It's a very small population, but very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security.
01:58:02.960
America is once again standing strong against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism.
01:58:08.960
Three and a half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless others in the Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
01:58:26.960
Perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
01:58:30.960
Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity.
01:58:39.960
And he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice.
01:58:45.960
And I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
01:59:13.960
This was a very momentous day for those 13 families who I actually got to know very well.
01:59:20.960
Most of them whose children were murdered and the many people that were so badly over 42 people so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan.
01:59:32.960
And what a horrible day such incompetence was shown that when Putin saw what happened.
01:59:48.960
I spoke to many of the parents and loved ones and they're all in our hearts tonight.
02:00:00.960
Every one of them called and everybody was on the line and they did nothing but cry with happiness.
02:00:07.960
They were very happy as happy as you can be under those circumstances.
02:00:12.960
Their child, brother, sister, son, daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever.
02:00:22.960
In the Middle East, we're bringing back our hostages from Gaza.
02:00:27.960
In my first term, we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in generations, the Abraham Accords.
02:00:53.960
And now we're going to build on that foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future for the entire region.
02:01:00.960
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
02:01:02.960
People have been talking about that so much lately with everything going on with Ukraine and Russia.
02:01:08.960
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
02:01:13.960
I'm also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
02:01:18.960
Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict.
02:01:25.960
With no end in sight, the United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense.
02:01:52.960
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
02:02:10.960
Two thousand people are being killed every single week.
02:02:23.960
Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine.
02:02:33.960
They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending.
02:02:38.960
And we've spent perhaps three hundred and fifty billion dollars, like taking candy from a baby.
02:02:51.960
And we have an ocean separating us and they don't.
02:02:56.960
But we're getting along very well with them and lots of good things are happening.
02:03:01.960
Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent by billions and billions of dollars.
02:03:10.960
It's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it and said at some point, come on, let's equalize.
02:03:18.960
Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine.
02:03:23.960
The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
02:03:32.960
Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said.
02:03:35.960
My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
02:03:44.960
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.
02:03:51.960
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you.
02:04:00.960
I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago.
02:04:05.960
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace.
02:04:16.960
It's time to stop this madness, it's time to halt the killing, it's time to end the senseless war.
02:04:43.960
If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
02:04:47.960
Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions, a history teacher named Mark Fogel was detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony.
02:05:00.960
The previous administration barely lifted a finger to help him.
02:05:05.960
They knew he was innocent, but they had no idea where to begin.
02:05:09.960
But last summer, I promised his 95-year-old mother, Malphine, that we would bring her boy safely back home.
02:05:29.960
As long and as far as she's able to see some of those efforts in everyone here today, they are completely destroyed.
02:05:34.960
I don't know when you'd pass up, I thought what stood up either way.
02:05:40.960
It's like that we had a good видел in September 23rd.
02:05:43.960
It was great today in ĐĄ cachetus, so we did a good time.
02:05:49.960
That's where we came back from our Можно we could just hit someone here.
02:05:53.960
I thought you were in trouble unless I arrived at.
02:05:54.960
We tried to become a little bit of reservations now that hasn't happened.
02:05:56.960
To Mark and his great mom, we are delighted to have you safe and sound and with us.
02:06:14.040
As fate would have it, Mark Fogel was born in a small rural town in Butler, Pennsylvania.
02:06:22.120
Have you heard of it? Where his mother has lived for the past 78 years.
02:06:28.720
I just happened to go there last July 13th for a rally.
02:06:37.700
And that is where I met his beautiful mom right before I walked onto that stage.
02:06:45.600
And I told her I would not forget what she said about her son.
02:06:53.620
Less than 10 minutes later, at that same rally, gunfire rang out and a sick and deranged assassin
02:07:02.780
unloaded eight bullets from his sniper's perch into a crowd of many thousands of people.
02:07:16.580
Corey Comparator was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian, a husband, a devoted father.
02:07:27.400
When the sound of gunshots pierced, the air was a horrible sound.
02:07:32.640
Corey knew instantly what it was and what to do.
02:07:37.040
He threw himself on top of his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets with his
02:07:54.560
Two others, very fine people, were also seriously hit.
02:07:59.440
But thankfully, with the help of two great country doctors, we thought they were gone and they
02:08:10.100
We're joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who was his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved
02:08:50.140
To Helen, Allison and Kaylee, Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now.
02:09:07.920
Corey was taken from us much too soon, but his destiny was to leave us all with a shining
02:09:13.620
example of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot.
02:09:19.520
It was love like Corey's that built our country, and it's love like Corey's that is going to
02:09:23.960
make our country more majestic than ever before.
02:09:28.760
I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason.
02:09:34.820
I was saved by God to make America great again.
02:09:49.760
From the patriots of Lexington and Concord to the heroes of Gettysburg and Normandy, from
02:10:08.000
the warriors who crossed the Delaware to the trailblazers who climbed the Rockies, and from
02:10:13.860
the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts who touched the moon, Americans have
02:10:21.500
always been the people who defied all arts, transcended all dangers, made the most extraordinary
02:10:28.440
sacrifices, and did whatever it took to defend our children, our country, and our freedom.
02:10:35.000
And as we have seen in this chamber tonight, that same strength, faith, love, and spirit
02:10:41.380
is still alive and thriving in the hearts of the American people.
02:10:46.640
Despite the best efforts of those who would try to censor us, silence us, break us, destroy
02:10:51.860
us, Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign, and independent nation that will always be free,
02:11:05.200
We will never let anything happen to our beloved country.
02:11:10.240
Because we are a country of doers, dreamers, fighters, and survivors.
02:11:14.560
Our ancestors crossed a vast ocean, strode into the unknown wilderness, and carved their fortunes
02:11:20.860
from the rock and soil of a perilous and very dangerous frontier.
02:11:27.660
They chased our destiny across a boundless continent.
02:11:32.120
They built the railroads, laid the highways, and graced the world with American marvels like
02:11:37.560
the Empire State Building, the mighty Hoover Dam, and the towering Golden Gate Bridge.
02:11:45.500
They lit the world with electricity, broke free of the force of gravity, fired up the
02:11:51.600
engines of American industry, vanquished the communists, fascists, and Marxists all over
02:11:59.140
the world, and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured out of iron glass and steel.
02:12:06.260
We stand on the shoulders of these pioneers who won and built the modern age.
02:12:11.940
These workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities.
02:12:16.720
These warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle and gave everything they had for
02:12:25.760
Now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American liberty.
02:12:29.820
And it is our turn to take America's destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling
02:12:43.340
With God's help over the next four years, we are going to lead this nation even higher.
02:12:49.580
And we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most dominant civilization
02:13:01.200
We are going to create the highest quality of life, build the safest and wealthiest and
02:13:06.980
healthiest and most vital communities anywhere in the world.
02:13:12.380
We are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to lead humanity
02:13:18.360
into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond.
02:13:24.380
And through it all, we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the American spirit.
02:13:50.700
And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream.
02:13:55.580
Every single day, we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens
02:14:01.180
believe in and for the country our people deserve.
02:14:20.700
Box-tv, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical,
02:14:27.260
tried, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, lical, parp.
02:14:29.020
My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of
02:14:38.440
It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.
02:14:43.380
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
02:15:44.860
I hustled back down to the studio after a rather eventful evening.
02:15:48.240
We are going to have all the exclusive analysis here on our respective channels.
02:15:53.880
And it was quite a barn-burning speech in many different ways, President Trump listing off
02:15:59.200
his accomplishments, his vision, his agenda for the country, and of course, all of the
02:16:06.200
impediments that the Democrats are going to throw up.
02:16:08.600
Now, we see this a lot, where Democrats refuse to stand, Democrats refuse to applaud, but
02:16:16.680
And literally, there was one moment where Donald Trump called out a young man with brain cancer
02:16:21.160
becoming an Asian of the Secret Service, and Democrats still did not stand up and applaud.
02:16:25.660
If you will not stand up and applaud for a young boy who becomes a member of the Secret Service
02:16:30.760
in an honorary way, there's something really sick and messed up about you.
02:16:43.020
Now, these speeches, they tend to not matter a lot.
02:16:47.520
However, I will say, I think we first need to appreciate the macro, how awesome it is to
02:16:53.780
kind of see our year of work crescendo in this.
02:16:58.540
I mean, it's like all of our friends are involved, from Kash Patel to Bobby Kennedy.
02:17:10.520
Every, you know, they were wondering would any of those guys get through, and they basically
02:17:15.400
all got through, and I think you deserve a huge amount of credit for that.
02:17:18.540
Charlie, you deserve a huge amount of credit for that.
02:17:22.500
For one or two of those, I will receive some praise.
02:17:25.460
Listen, there was some Pete Hegseth in particular.
02:17:29.680
You drew the battle line, and, you know, you deserve a ton of credit for that.
02:17:46.900
Yeah, instant analysis, Jack, as Ms. Daisy is doing all of the aesthetic adjustments here.
02:17:54.900
Jack, your reaction to this historic address tonight from President Trump?
02:17:59.020
Yeah, so first of all, Charlie, I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of the macro.
02:18:04.680
Not only is this a cap on a remarkable year in 2024, but also it's a cap on a remarkable four-year period, an interregnum.
02:18:15.820
Remember the last time President Trump was giving a speech in this same chamber?
02:18:19.440
Nancy Pelosi was tearing it apart and throwing it on the floor, and now Nancy Pelosi is sitting up in the cheap seats crying.
02:18:27.980
This is a man who the entire world had written off.
02:18:32.700
This is a man who the entire D.C. power structure, the power structure that you say there assembled, one of the only times all year that you'll see this.
02:18:41.680
By the way, the three branches represented in one room there in the Capitol, they said this man was done, that Trumpism was a fluke, that MAGA was done, that it would never return.
02:18:51.700
And yet, in really not that long at all, it's right back, but back in full dominating command.
02:19:00.400
And this was a command performance from President Trump.
02:19:04.380
Even the Democrats were stuck simply reacting to him.
02:19:08.040
And I think one of the key things that a lot of people are leaving out, and I know folks will, and it's already trending, of course, all over Twitter, that people are talking about how they're all, it's the stunts.
02:19:19.560
The Democrats are performing stunt after stunt, and trying to be disruptive, and holding up placards, and all of this.
02:19:25.520
But what it really comes down to it is, Charlie, the Democrats have no message.
02:19:33.080
The things that President Trump are doing are popular.
02:19:39.140
The American people widely support what he is doing.
02:19:43.800
This election wouldn't have come down the way that it did, winning the popular vote, going 7 for 7 in the swing states,
02:19:49.040
if they didn't actually want the things that he is currently doing.
02:19:53.160
And that's why the Democrats are sitting there flailing about, because they are in absolute panic mode.
02:20:03.240
And all they can do is basically sit there and jeer, because they have no actual response to the work of the American people
02:20:10.800
that's being done by President Trump, J.D. Vance, and yes, even Speaker Johnson.
02:20:15.360
So I want to just make sure this is framed correctly for everybody, that this was not a technical State of the Union address.
02:20:23.160
This was the kind of setup of the administration.
02:20:26.740
And, I mean, first the news-gathering item of Al Green trying to interrupt and interject.
02:20:32.140
But the Democrats just looked like angry hall monitors.
02:20:37.900
Small, sore losers, not applauding kids with brain cancer.
02:20:45.540
They looked forward, we looked forward thinking.
02:20:48.520
Andrew, have we ever seen, I mean, we've been working together almost 7 or 8 years.
02:20:53.940
Have we ever seen, let's just say since Obama, the Democrat Party this week?
02:20:59.800
This disunified, demoralized, just they are a bitter shell for themselves.
02:21:06.140
Almost as if they're a permanent minoritarian faction.
02:21:15.620
Well, they've found themselves, because of their TDS, and I know it's cliche at this point, but it's really true,
02:21:21.820
on the losing side of just about every 70-30 issue, sometimes 80-20 issue, and they've dug their heels in,
02:21:28.060
they're doubling down on stupid, and they just keep going for it.
02:21:30.960
I mean, you know, proof, you know, positive is the fact that you were just invited on the Gavin Newsom podcast
02:21:37.780
to explain why they're losing so bad, and why you're drawing crowds of 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 students on these blue campuses.
02:21:45.540
Because they have zero energy, they have zero activist energy, specifically.
02:21:49.540
There's nothing bottom-up in the Democrat movement right now.
02:21:54.200
They're trying to get people rallied at these, you know, pro-Ukraine things.
02:21:59.400
They're trying to get people rallied against Doge.
02:22:02.960
They're trying to do these really cringe videos of all the senators, you know, doing the same video over and over and over again,
02:22:12.760
Everything that they are throwing at this president, he is literally Teflon Don.
02:22:18.340
It's not just, you know, trying to bankrupt his businesses.
02:22:23.200
Everything that they are throwing at him is not sticking.
02:22:25.220
And here is the real rub, if you're a Democrat tonight.
02:22:31.280
The Zelensky letter that says, I'm ready to sign the middle of the rights deal at your convenience, Mr. President.
02:22:39.220
Let's get to some of the tape here, just to kind of, you know, if people are just tuning in, they had stuff to do,
02:22:45.100
Or let's just kind of go through some of the tape here that I want to go around the horn.
02:23:04.080
Followed by one of the more viral moments where President Trump went through just some of the waste of doge.
02:23:11.480
$40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.
02:23:29.260
In the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.
02:23:33.280
$60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.
02:23:45.240
Sir, we have the ambassador and president from Lesotho on the line.
02:24:01.720
It is the country that is completely surrounded by South Africa.
02:24:05.200
Yeah, it's the one totally surrounded by South Africa.
02:24:14.380
There's a lot of ones that start with M that are like all Samish in Africa.
02:24:17.700
But I love President Trump running through the LGBT.
02:24:25.440
In my defense, Mbabane is the capital of East Watani, which is the other country surrounded by
02:24:51.080
I just want to run through this just to kind of reestablish the vibe.
02:24:54.120
President Donald Trump continued by talking about how he declared an emergency on the southern
02:24:59.480
border, something that the Democrats do not like and they don't support.
02:25:06.400
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern
02:25:12.580
And I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country.
02:25:22.440
As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded.
02:25:42.580
They heard my words and they chose not to come.
02:25:51.000
In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of
02:26:02.180
And virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members and people from mental
02:26:07.960
institutions and insane asylums were released into our country.
02:26:17.840
But just more broadly, you know, we're talking about Doge.
02:26:21.100
What do you think of the vibe, the tone that President Trump struck here?
02:26:23.760
It feels as if he's resolutely on offense and not letting up.
02:26:28.600
Considering he's been in office a month and a half, then it almost sounded like a State
02:26:33.640
He'd give a year in totally able to say, like, bam, we're on aggression on the border.
02:26:41.020
You know, we're going to be wrapping up the Ukraine war.
02:26:45.300
He even kind of lays out the approach on Greenland, where he's saying we support Greenlandic
02:26:50.720
self-determination, because that's how it would happen.
02:26:54.900
What it would be is we would want the people of Greenland to agitate for independence and
02:27:00.000
then say, you know, we'll accept you if you were to obtain independence.
02:27:03.160
He lays it out that way, obviously on the border, on Doge, on combating the cartels.
02:27:10.180
It sounds like an administration that's a lot older than six weeks.
02:27:18.280
And if you guys want to check out this gear, the Doge gear, by the way, or the 47 hat,
02:27:29.040
And if you want to become a member, we love it when you're member members dot Charlie Kirk
02:27:33.780
The the other element that I just I just the visual of seeing Trump's cabinet was just
02:27:39.260
Oh, look, they have at least slot can for the response.
02:27:52.860
I was going to task that one has Tyler just kind of from the Internet vibe here.
02:28:01.880
But was there anything the Democrats did to win over leaners independence?
02:28:06.600
In fact, I think President Trump did a lot to probably bring anybody that might have been
02:28:11.320
like, oh, I'm not sure about this Doge thing further into our camp.
02:28:16.320
I thought that the way he went about it was a master class.
02:28:19.300
And I'm not just saying that because he's a friend and we support him.
02:28:21.820
I thought he a lot of center right people in my life were texting me very favorably throughout
02:28:28.900
I think this was the best speech he's ever given by a lot.
02:28:32.340
And we've been very critical and watched every single one.
02:28:35.940
How they handled the people who are out of line.
02:28:45.740
The forcefulness with which he said, you know, and you could actually there was a moment,
02:28:49.720
by the way, I hope we can we get this in the clip where the anger flashed on Speaker
02:28:54.600
It was actually something like you could see it.
02:29:05.860
Yeah, I'm a little surprised because I'm a little surprised once that started happening
02:29:11.320
that Democrats didn't, you know, plunge in on it and say, OK, fine.
02:29:17.060
If they'd done that, they got a half hour to walk every single one.
02:29:19.800
They got the vibe that it was not going well for them.
02:29:25.960
And Mike Johnson, he's a little guy and he's nice and he's like your next door neighbor.
02:29:34.020
Mike Johnson is the guy that shows up early at church and he helps you park cars.
02:29:46.940
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted description of proper decorum.
02:30:10.040
JD with the thumb is just like, by his name, surprising memetic capacity.
02:30:21.100
Yeah, Jack, break down the meme ability of JD Vance.
02:30:29.220
He's, uh, he's already been the hottest meme of the last 24 hours.
02:30:35.280
In JD Vance edits are currently the hottest meme.
02:30:39.360
If you are, uh, buying, if you're in the meme economy right now, you want to invest heavily in JD Vance edits right now.
02:30:57.580
Uh, and I just want to make sure we welcome Rav.
02:31:14.680
Hello, San Diego and other towns watching as well.
02:31:17.600
Uh, this is a Tuesday edition of Thought Crime, and we are honored to be on Real America's Voice and streaming on other channels.
02:31:23.560
We have Tyler, we have Blake, we have Andrew, and of course, Real America's Voice own Jack Posobiec as he lures over, looms over all of us here.
02:31:34.120
Uh, we were just kind of marveling at Speaker Mike Johnson with his little deportation effort with the gavel.
02:31:44.500
Just a reminder, all of you guys watching on Real America's Voice, download the Real America's Voice app.
02:31:49.140
You can watch my show every single day at 12 p.m. Eastern and also Jack Posobiec right afterwards.
02:31:54.820
We also have Turning Point Tonight every evening, which I actually think would be on, I think this is almost approximately when the re-air of the Charlie Kirk show would be on on Rav.
02:32:04.580
Let's go to some more tape here of, um, Speaker Mike Johnson getting a little bit fired up.
02:32:12.880
Oh, this is when, oh, I'm sorry, this is Al Green, uh, who is going, going when he went after the reporters.
02:32:30.760
He is a person who has consistently been in, used incivility against civility.
02:32:40.700
Well, look, I, I, I'm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me.
02:32:48.040
I've said I'll accept the punishment, but it's worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
02:32:58.980
Before you say, I just, okay, that's the best they got.
02:33:03.780
I think he thought he's going to have some sort of show of force.
02:33:06.000
That was, that was the Jerry Maguire of the joint session.
02:33:10.860
It's like, it's like, it's a, you know, like a Napoleon move and he charges out.
02:33:19.320
No, no, the, uh, the Sergeant R's came down to him and whispered to him.
02:33:22.520
That's what he was saying to him was, Hey, nobody's with you.
02:33:28.980
I, I, I, I think they're all legends of their own minds.
02:33:31.920
They actually thought that like all the Democrats would like come with him as if the, you know, Moses parting the Red Sea and like everyone just marches out.
02:33:41.400
And then they realized it was just Al Green, but not like, not like the good Al Green.
02:33:46.660
I just, I just want to know why it is that snuff, Mr. Snuffleupagus was escorted out.
02:33:55.400
Let's, uh, this, this was one of my favorite moments.
02:33:58.020
This was president Donald Trump saying, so how did all that work out for you?
02:34:01.800
Just a beautiful taunt to these savages that wanted to put Donald Trump in Rikers Island, a taunt to all of them and making them eat it.
02:34:14.020
He deserves all this, by the way, president Trump should have gone.
02:34:16.540
He was by Trump terms, very restrained and presidential because he could have gone a lot harder on them on this stuff.
02:34:24.120
A lot harder considering a lot of the architects of the Trump lawfare were in the audience.
02:34:32.960
A lot of these people that have been trying to put Donald Trump behind bars were right there.
02:34:38.520
And we've ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.
02:34:55.900
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.
02:35:15.660
And two days ago, I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America.
02:36:07.400
The point being that it's now not just unethical so that it's wrong, but what Trump might have done is that it actually could create a political force that could displace you, meaning that it's now politically dangerous to do this.
02:36:20.820
I think, given how aggressive the left got, kind of the best way to check it is a sense of mutually assured destruction.
02:36:28.140
And if there is a fear that if you go way beyond the bounds of what can remotely be justified, that you'll get vaporized by the DOJ in some way, that will encourage polite behavior.
02:36:40.760
And an armed society is a polite society, as a lot of gun rights activists like to say.
02:36:45.820
And we can have that same principle apply to lawfare.
02:36:51.140
The best guarantee against lawfare is that both sides can do it to each other.
02:37:01.360
Well, I mean, I would say that my read on it is their overreaction to Trump, even as he's been president, and they're saying he's weaponizing the DOJ, Kash Patel, whatever.
02:37:11.840
It's simply a projection of their own guilt onto themselves because they know that they acted out of line.
02:37:17.160
They know that they have it coming, and they know that he has every right to seek a little bit of retribution after what happened to him.
02:37:26.560
I love the side-by-side clip of Kash Patel before he was even nominated to be a FBI director saying, you know, Schiff is a criminal.
02:37:37.860
And then you've got Schiff protesting Kash Patel becoming the next FBI director.
02:37:42.800
There's a reason these people are running in panic.
02:37:46.940
I mean, the only way that you can defeat a bully is by standing up to a bully, and you've got to, like, punch back.
02:37:58.340
It's just, it's really a dozen really bad people that are directing hundreds of sheep.
02:38:07.180
But, like, we have hundreds of thousands, millions of people who are willing to step up now.
02:38:17.020
When I think of joy in the morning, I think of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
02:38:24.260
There's no other joys we can think of on MSNBC anymore.
02:38:38.740
For the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far survived pediatric cancer.
02:38:51.000
As if the president had something to do with that.
02:38:56.880
Doge cuts, among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer.
02:39:03.040
Do you notice she kind of does that thing where she just kind of, like, smugly ends every sentence?
02:39:21.900
It's, like, configured into the DNA of how she speaks.
02:39:31.960
It's, it's, it is a way that Democrats and people in Washington, D.C. and anyone who's been, you guys have all spent time at D.C. recently.
02:39:39.180
It's a way of indicating that you're on the same team as someone when you match this weird, like, D.C.
02:39:48.000
But specifically one that travels between, like, the D.C.-Georgetown area where you are putting pronunciation on strange words.
02:39:58.960
And sometimes, and then if you're Chris Hayes, what you will do is at the end of every sentence, you will then go up.
02:40:09.440
It's like you're, like, you're getting scared as you're saying the word or something.
02:40:14.820
The opposite of which, of course, is Tulsi Gabbard, who always goes down at the end of her sentences.
02:40:34.800
Have you ever heard, like, Karens, like, talking about how much they hate Trump in, like, a coffee shop?
02:40:48.720
Let's go to Cut 122, one of my favorite remarks.
02:40:53.860
Just calling out the Democrats for who they are, what they believe, and their nonsense.
02:41:00.580
And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.
02:41:13.720
I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded.
02:41:31.220
And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.
02:41:51.680
I also want to say thank you, Shonek and Shadow, for your support.
02:41:59.020
Poor Pocahontas couldn't even look up from her phone.
02:42:01.440
Also getting lots of questions asking about our hat.
02:42:10.380
If you guys want to wear this 47 hat or this Doge shirt, we'll get them off for you guys.
02:42:24.180
Not to toot our own hair, but it's, what do you call it, plush or whatever?
02:42:29.580
I think it was Justin that the day after the election, he's like, what do you think about this design?
02:42:37.180
And it's understated, so you don't get, well, maybe some people want that.
02:42:43.960
And people look at it like, imagine if you're totally non-political and you're just like, what the hell is that?
02:42:52.160
Is that a football player or is that like a basketball player?
02:43:01.340
By the way, you guys can purchase them and also become a member if you'd like.
02:43:10.820
Okay, so, by the way, there's a lot more tape here.
02:43:12.680
Nicole Wallace has just attacked this guy with brain cancer as well, saying, quote,
02:43:16.680
I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters.
02:43:24.440
These people are, I mean, these are demented people.
02:43:37.740
You know the best moment because the Democrats have to go all in on it, where President Trump
02:43:41.920
appoints 13-year-old DJ Daniel, who has brain cancer and only months to live, as an honorary
02:43:49.640
And the MSNBC decides to go all in attacking this kid.
02:43:56.820
I mean, no, I'm saying I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against
02:44:04.660
And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.
02:44:14.700
You should be yanked off of TV because the FCC.
02:44:18.140
Again, I'm not big on cancel culture, but that's, I mean.
02:44:26.580
And then can we tweet it and really do our thing there?
02:44:35.960
The doctors gave him five months at most to live.
02:44:43.280
Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.
02:44:49.620
And DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer, actually a number of times.
02:45:00.840
And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
02:45:05.420
I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.
02:45:46.640
And that's Mark Curran, the same guy that was next to Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
02:45:50.560
So here is now, with that framing, breaking news, Nicole Wallace.
02:45:56.440
Again, it takes a lot for me to kind of get outraged about cable news chattering.
02:46:03.880
I talk about maybe less than half of 1% of incendiary stuff makes it onto the Charlie Kirk show.
02:46:11.180
But I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel.
02:46:21.560
And I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years.
02:46:32.500
And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you.
02:46:36.260
And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer.
02:46:39.840
But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters.
02:46:44.580
And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.
02:46:49.140
And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people.
02:47:03.160
Did you hear the sound of silence from our panel for, like, two seconds?
02:47:12.440
So what it is is, again, the NPC mind only runs on what its last programming is.
02:47:21.660
So the MSNBC news talker, who doesn't come up with their own minds themselves, who doesn't write their own scripts, she's scrambling because she doesn't have her producers in her ear telling her what to say.
02:47:34.080
And so she's thinking, oh, well, the last time I've said anything positive about police officers, it was directly to January 6th.
02:47:41.980
So she's just going right back to whatever the current standard programming model is for police officers.
02:47:50.800
You can't say police officer, oh, they target black people because obviously it doesn't work here.
02:47:58.480
And then, but then the problem is she takes it, she just goes way too far down the line because she runs the entire program.
02:48:05.040
What you're actually seeing here, this is very instructive into understanding the NPC model.
02:48:09.440
The way the NPC works, the non-player character, is they're just running programs.
02:48:16.620
And I honestly guarantee you she doesn't even realize what she said.
02:48:20.300
I wish I could read the chat right now, Charlie, but I can't.
02:48:31.060
Hey, Charlie, I don't know if you'll see this, but you inspired me to join the Navy.
02:48:34.480
You never talk about military service, really, which is true.
02:48:37.060
I don't, but the belief of willing to fight for my fellow man started with you.
02:48:42.100
I'd love to send you a signed hat or book and meet you one day.
02:48:48.180
You are in much better hands now serving under President Trump and Pete Hegseth and the entire team there.
02:48:56.040
Charlie, can you please wish my mom a happy birthday?
02:49:04.660
And today is the 4th of March, so God bless you.
02:49:16.200
It's supposed to post Thursday morning on his channels, right?
02:49:29.040
It was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had being in the room with you while you did an interview.
02:49:40.500
Because Andrew has spent a lot of hours watching the interviews.

02:49:57.660
Yeah, for the full hour of the first hour on the Charlie Kirk Show.
02:50:05.460
We're going to be breaking down the Charlie Kirk interview with Gavin Newsom.
02:50:11.920
We're not going to tease any of the content that comes earlier.
02:50:29.760
As a reminder, also download the Real America's Voice app to watch all these programs on demand
02:50:46.180
Probably Susie or Taylor or the great team over there.
02:50:48.480
to kind of do the Oprah Winfrey thing and just kind of like, and you get a car and you get
02:50:54.840
And you go to West Point and I'm pardoning you.
02:51:02.000
I mean, it was, again, it was, it was a reality show.
02:51:04.240
This wasn't, it was like, what news, what is he going to do next?
02:51:06.600
By the way, did I not predict the West Point thing?
02:51:08.300
I was like, he's going to, he's going to offer.
02:51:14.780
By the way, Charlie can't even talk about half the stuff he, you know, so whatever.
02:51:20.440
We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call
02:51:27.920
Jason's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all wore the uniform.
02:51:33.480
Jason tragically lost his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy when he
02:51:40.280
was just a boy, and now he wants to carry on the family legacy of service.
02:51:44.720
Jason is a senior in high school, a six-letter varsity athlete, a really good athlete, they
02:51:51.040
say, a brilliant student with a 4.46, that's good, GPA.
02:51:57.180
And his greatest dream is to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
02:52:03.320
I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted.
02:52:19.020
If you're a Democrat and you didn't get up, I mean, I didn't see the crowd shot in that
02:52:23.320
moment, but if you're a Democrat and you didn't get up, I mean, how do you not celebrate that?
02:52:27.280
It's America's preeminent military academy, and this young man just had his dreams come
02:52:35.200
And you can tell he was legitimately surprised.
02:52:38.560
The best part about that interaction, he did not see that coming at all, and he was like,
02:52:44.380
oh my gosh, because he's young, kids can't fake it most of the time.
02:52:49.460
And by the way, you saw that with the young cancer survivor, DJ.
02:52:52.540
When they told him he got to be an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service, and he gets
02:52:56.420
a hug from the Secret Service director, and his dad's lifting him up.
02:53:02.720
Just to be clear, Trump never actually said the word honorary.
02:53:12.360
Well, it's an upgrade from what we've had in your life.
02:53:15.940
I was crying for, I mean, I'm telling you, Charlie knows this.
02:53:23.040
My family was impacted by illegal immigration at one point.
02:53:27.760
And I was in absolute tears over the 12-year-old girl who got murdered.
02:53:46.480
But the mom keeping it composed through that, I was choked up.
02:53:54.200
And it was like back to back to back with all this stuff that made it so special.
02:54:01.020
Like Charlie said, it wasn't just that you get a car, you get a thing named after you.
02:54:06.800
But there was the emotional side that was attached to each of these people.
02:54:10.240
Someone says, Charlie, for someone like myself that's dealt with severe brain injury when
02:54:14.780
I was younger, I know how it feels to be attacked like that.
02:54:22.300
Charlie, I stood up for my insanely liberal professors today.
02:54:25.220
Stood up to my insanely liberal professors today.
02:54:28.360
You helped me gain confidence in standing up for what I believe.
02:54:34.100

One of the more memorable moments and funny moments is 125.
02:55:46.980
Over 130,000 people, according to the social security databases, are age over 160 years old.
02:56:03.320
We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby.
02:56:14.600
In Bobby's face after that, when he went to him, he was like, oh, the cameras are on me.
02:56:24.480
Bobby's got this, almost like an aura about, what's up, Jack?
02:56:29.940
Do you guys see the Chinese government just now?
02:56:42.200
This is a bit more, I wouldn't derail it, but no, it's, I think we have to, I think we have
02:56:46.600
to call it out when there's responses like this, because the, the, what is it?
02:56:49.920
People's, people's work with China is usually a bit more, uh, restrained in their responses.
02:56:55.380
The Chinese embassy in the U S tweeted out just as the speech was ending, if war is what
02:57:01.960
the U S wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any type of war, we're ready to fight
02:57:09.040
Um, that's the Chinese embassy in the United States on X with, with their great checkup.
02:57:16.360
That's a great way to get more tariffs with Trump.
02:57:23.340
So let's go here to, let's go to Derek, 10 bucks, Charlie, for somebody like myself that
02:57:28.620
has dealt with, I'm sorry, we already did that one.
02:57:33.140
Let's go, um, to some reaction actually, uh, from the opposition.
02:57:37.760
Here is comrade Sanders responding to president Trump play cut one 46, nobody, nobody who was
02:57:47.080
150 years old or 200 years old or 300 years old is receiving social security checks.
02:57:56.960
No, I was going to, first of all, why, why does it look like he's in a PBS studio?
02:58:03.780
For a second, I thought that was like one of our guys doing Bernie Sanders.
02:58:10.300
I will say Bernie has, Bernie has impressive stamina.
02:58:16.540
I mean, like the octogenarian thing is really kind of hurting our politics.
02:58:20.280
Like, come on guys, you got to just go be with your grandkids.
02:58:31.480
I mean, I mean, he's still, he's looking good for 83 or 84, but still, I mean, I completely
02:58:44.540
Octogenarians are going to lose a lot of people very quickly here.
02:58:47.980
Walt Bud says, I've been a member of Charlie Kirk members.
02:59:05.840
By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we can find, we will defeat inflation, bring
02:59:11.580
down mortgage rates, lower car payments, and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and put
02:59:16.980
more money in the pockets of American families.
02:59:20.300
And in the near future, I want to do what has not been done in 24 years.
02:59:30.700
I just love that we're talking about balancing the budget again.
02:59:38.480
As a goal, you might think it's improbable, Blake, but I will always say, it's a good aspiration.
02:59:43.280
I will always say what is, what is spoken will then be more likely to be done.
02:59:59.480
Like, we're going to, we're going to, if we do it, I will be the first one to line
03:00:04.060
up and be like, man, that guy, that guy did the impossible.
03:00:12.960
If Donald Trump successfully balances the budget.
03:00:18.720
If Donald Trump successfully balances the budget, I will wear a Minnesota Vikings jersey
03:00:35.720
I will wear a Chicago Bears jersey of your choice at this desk, and I will say that Mike
03:00:47.540
I think you need to, like, write an op-ed that's titled, I was wrong about Trump.
03:00:54.940
I think Charlie would get more out of the first one.
03:00:59.720
I think that Blake going into the camera with a Bears jersey.
03:01:12.820
During NFL season, I should just wear it one day on the show, right?
03:01:17.820
But the Bears are so bad, it's like a humiliation ritual that, like, it's like, I should own
03:01:23.640
The Bears should have been good in, like, 20 years.
03:01:25.720
Blake should have to wear a really thick Mike Ditka mustache for a full week.
03:01:41.380
By the way, I want you guys to email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
03:01:43.780
Also, your reaction in addition, just to everything else, subscribing to our podcast.
03:01:53.880
More grateful to God for his answer to prayer on November 5th.
03:01:57.060
I'm also so grateful to God he saved me and kept me from becoming a hateful socialist.
03:02:04.860
And the truth was beyond anything we could have imagined.
03:02:09.620
I mean, people are just effusively grateful in the emails that we are receiving right now.
03:02:16.180
And I do have to wonder that when the Democrats won back at this time equivalent in 2021,
03:02:21.780
do you think their emails were full of, like, thank yous to God?
03:02:28.800
It was probably like, I wonder what that Trump man is doing right now.
03:02:34.800
The image that will always stick with me is Steven Pinker, the Harvard professor, doing
03:02:38.040
the extremely cringe dance on Twitter with his wife.
03:02:44.580
There was, like, a bunch of those during the campaign where they would get together and
03:02:51.100
Brandon says, because he gave five bucks, Bernie says, no one is 100 years old.
03:02:56.900
Me, Bernie, your yearbook is signed by Adam and Eve.
03:03:10.100
I just walked out of Trump's address, joint address to Congress.
03:03:18.960
I went there because I was insistent that I wanted to hear directly from him what he
03:03:24.120
But after hearing him spew lie after lie after lie, racism and xenophobia at the center of
03:03:32.900
And I'm going to insist that we stand up for our constituents, for the American people across
03:03:37.780
this country, and fight back so that we can make sure we're delivering for working people
03:03:49.160
She is the, isn't she the, like, leader of the progressive caucus within the Democrats?
03:03:54.640
We've got Rachel Maddow, Big Mad, Plague Cut 144.
03:03:59.220
For the record, the economy that he was left by President Biden was not a catastrophe.
03:04:04.840
It was literally the best economy in the world.
03:04:09.000
It was described by The Economist magazine as the envy of the world.
03:04:12.960
That was the economy that was left to Donald Trump by Joe Biden.
03:04:17.880
It says the multimillionaire who gets $20 million a year to work one day a week.
03:04:26.020
You know, this is one of the most telling moments, Charlie, when you're on campus, by
03:04:29.800
the way, there will always be one smug little, you know, econ student that goes, ah, the economy
03:04:38.560
And then you look at the audience and you go, how many of you are struggling to afford
03:04:47.320
Every single time that you appeal to the audience, everybody's like, yeah, I'm not doing that
03:04:53.040
So the best economy, the envy of the world was terrible for everybody else.
03:05:17.780
This man who pardoned January 6th insurrectionists, who desecrated the very chamber that we are
03:05:27.580
This man who has no respect for Congress, does not respect us as a co-equal branch of government,
03:05:36.320
This man with his hateful rhetoric and his even more harmful policies.
03:05:40.600
I went because I wanted to honor my state of the union or my joint address of Congress
03:05:45.400
guest, Claire from Everett, a probationary federal worker who was damn good at her job
03:05:50.760
at housing and urban development, enforcing fair housing laws.
03:06:04.260
There are people that will be unhoused because that work is unfinished.
03:06:08.120
There is housing that will not get built because that work is unfinished and her life has been
03:06:16.460
And because Claire is also a manual wheelchair user and navigated a lot of ableist spaces to
03:06:23.560
come here today, I wanted to take a seat and take up space and honor her.
03:06:27.720
But there is no way that I could stay there for this address.
03:06:33.040
It is insult to injury, the lies, and the propaganda.
03:06:36.700
Did she just say something about ableist spaces there?
03:06:47.180
We continue as our march through the cut sheet.
03:06:52.940
President Trump going after Elizabeth Warren, who, by the way, has become a huge neocon.
03:06:57.780
Can we just appreciate how Elizabeth Warren has become just a shrill neocon?
03:07:03.180
Like full Liz Cheney, just like full war machine.
03:07:18.340
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
03:08:02.380
I mean, so who wants to take this just from a more philosophical and less lighthearted,
03:08:08.380
but just briefly, what is driving someone like Elizabeth Warren, who obviously had or
03:08:14.060
might still have some presidential ambitions, who never used to be a neocon, to just go all
03:08:22.340
I'll just say from a political, sociological standpoint, I dwell on this every day.
03:08:28.200
And actually, just this weekend, I had somebody that's related to me reach out to me and some
03:08:34.680
drunken stupor messaged me and say something about Trump, and relevant to the anti-war sentiment
03:08:42.660
of what happened in the White House this last week.
03:08:44.460
And I said, I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm very proud to be anti-war.
03:08:48.040
And I think it's bizarre that every single Democrat who attacked feverishly for basically 15 years
03:08:56.680
the Republican Party for being so pro-war are now in full alignment.
03:09:01.560
And Charlie, I cannot understand it for the life of me that the most progressive, lunatic
03:09:13.160
They have spent the last essentially eight years turning Putin into, you know, the devil
03:09:21.900
And so this being tied to Putin, they have made this boogeyman, and I'm not saying Putin
03:09:28.380
isn't a bad dude, like, okay, ad nauseum, I get it.
03:09:32.200
Terrible guy, invaded, he takes blame for that.
03:09:34.640
But like, they have turned him in to something larger and bigger because it's useful to their
03:09:41.140
So they think anybody that doesn't just blindly stand with, like, the oligarch, you know, the
03:09:47.400
Ukrainian oligarch is somehow, you know, perpetrating a mass injustice on the world.
03:09:52.700
And it's because they have created this dichotomy, this black hat, white hat thing in their head
03:10:05.860
Well, remember when Hillary Clinton went with the reset button or whatever?
03:10:10.680
George W. Bush would hang out on his ranch with Putin.
03:10:17.460
No, George W. Bush brought Putin to the elementary school in his hometown in Crawford.
03:10:26.680
So this is what's so mind-blowing, which I cannot understand.
03:10:40.440
Well, remember, he sat with Clinton, too, and said, hey, Clinton, I want to join NATO.
03:10:44.540
And Clinton was like, yeah, we can probably do that.
03:10:48.260
The same people who were in that policy camp of being best buddies with Putin, which was the Dick Cheney-era foreign policy experts here, are the same people who have done exactly what you said, which is villainize Putin and blame Trump for it.
03:11:04.460
When they were the ones who were closer than anyone ever was.
03:11:10.280
Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton made, like, what Bill Clinton...
03:11:14.500
It's like a $500,000 payment for speaking in Russia.
03:11:18.940
I'm telling you, George W. Bush and his relationship.
03:11:21.440
The Clinton Foundation got money for Uranium One, et cetera, et cetera.
03:11:25.960
You know, Tyler, I was going to say, though, but this actually is typical of the neocon, because the neocons all supported Saddam Hussein.
03:11:34.460
It was the neocons that totally supported the Mujahideen against the Soviet Union and completely funded and founded what later became the Taliban, as well as the early elements of al-Qaeda, the same elements of al-Qaeda that the neocons and neolibs also, to this day, are supporting in Syria.
03:11:56.240
So, if you look at it from a different perspective, it also goes to show you that they will use and drop foreign actors at a whim.
03:12:07.440
And that's because of this post-1990s mentality that it's the end of history.
03:12:16.020
We don't need to actually uphold any relationships, which is funny because those are all the things that they blame Trump for because he'll, like, make an offhanded comment or something or have us or J.D. Vance will make a comment about the British and will say that he's destroyed relations.
03:12:28.800
When, no, it's actually been their failed leadership over the past 40 years that has put us in this position to begin with and their insanity of, as you say, either you're working with someone one day and then you're vilifying them the next.
03:12:43.500
And then we expect them to think that we are rational actors when we seem the ones who are kind of like the drunken sailors, which I can say because I'm a sailor, although I don't drink.
03:12:54.380
Like, when we're the ones who are acting completely belligerently and we are the ones who are acting irrationally all the time.
03:13:02.900
I mean, I actually, just one note, I have a slightly different theory.
03:13:06.260
Democrats and progressives, what do they lift up more than anything else?
03:13:10.100
Well, there's institutions, but the institutions that were formed out of the civil rights era.
03:13:14.620
So they look at their ultimate heroes as the people that marched, the people that sat on the bus, you know, all of these things, the peaceful protests.
03:13:22.820
And they were going against something that they believe was objectively evil and bad and everything, right?
03:13:30.640
So what they are doing, progressives of the modern era, they have a sense that they have to find a boogeyman, even where one doesn't exist.
03:13:40.100
So their highest and best use of their time, they think, is like finding an oppressor to march against.
03:13:46.560
And so they will, they, Putin is the oppressor.
03:13:49.000
Trump is the oppressor, even though these are poorly directed energies for them, but they have to find something to march against because they have, they want to live up to their civil rights, like predecessors that they find to be the great heroes of American lore and history.
03:14:05.400
It's always, even though there's no, there's no boogeyman anymore.
03:14:08.420
There's no, the racism that they think they're fighting, they've come to embody.
03:14:12.280
So my whole theory with them is that they need a boogeyman, like every institution, they need a scapegoat in order to make themselves feel good.
03:14:19.660
I think with Putin, what happened was when he was hanging out in the truck in Crawford, Texas, Bush was like, what's like on your agenda?
03:14:29.280
He's like, I'd like to, you know, at least have some, some Crimea.
03:14:35.260
And so Bush went to McCain and was like, hey, I found out what they want.
03:14:46.780
And this is, that's the entire American history and a lot of foreign policy in Eastern Europe in the last 15 years.
03:14:56.040
Another, another one you'll want to read, Charlie, here.
03:15:03.220
Jeremy says, you inspired me to join the Border Patrol.
03:15:08.140
I'm 23 and you're motivated my generation to go from the silent majority to be very loud about our family and Christian values.
03:15:21.500
If not on the same moral footing as the U.S. military, might I add.
03:15:26.800
When we say serving your country, Border Patrol almost should be a portion of the U.S. military.
03:15:32.840
They have this elite unit that's almost like the special forces of Border Patrol.
03:15:47.600
By the way, every single one of them voted for Trump.
03:16:07.160
I only wish we had a strong, capable leader to do the same.
03:16:10.840
Despite the stuff, we want the best for Canada.
03:16:18.320
I think we should have another branch of the military.
03:16:22.440
I think you should roll Border Patrol into DOD.
03:16:42.520
I don't want to take the floor away from you, but it's this clip of Brit Hume.
03:16:47.660
And the reason I think this is interesting is that Brit Hume has literally come after people,
03:16:57.340
This is him basically singing the praises of Donald J. Trump, and I believe it is 148.
03:17:05.040
This was the most boisterous, the longest, the most partisan speech I've ever heard a president
03:17:13.120
give in this kind of setting, and I go back about maybe 50 years on this.
03:17:17.540
I also think it may have been the most effective.
03:17:19.380
I mean, if you ever doubted that Donald Trump is the colossus, the political colossus of
03:17:24.600
our time and our nation, this night and this speech should have put that to rest.
03:17:29.800
The Democrats seem to be falling into trap after trap after trap as he recognized these
03:17:36.100
people and celebrated the people he pointed to in the gallery and their stories, while
03:17:42.500
the Democrats sat glumly on their hands through all of that.
03:17:46.740
Al Green's attempt to disrupt the speech was a bad look for the Democrats.
03:17:51.600
This was, I think, politically speaking, this was pretty powerful.
03:17:57.340
All the moderate Democrats would be so mad at Al Green, and he couldn't be more right.
03:18:02.260
It's like an episode of Looney Tunes right now.
03:18:04.380
And it's just, it's like literally Coyote and Roadrunner stuff.
03:18:09.820
And the president is always the brilliant Roadrunner.
03:18:30.480
I just think he's going to end up on the winning side of both of these issues.
03:18:35.320
It doesn't mean it's not going to be ugly in the short term, but I think he's going
03:18:38.940
to come out on top, and America's going to come out on top as a result.
03:18:42.640
I just, the colossus of our time is a line that really sticks out.
03:19:04.620
Never heard a president attack the opposition in a speech like this in such a pointed way,
03:19:10.320
even going after to use a rather derisive nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren.
03:19:21.000
Mr. Fake Tapper, who was part of the cover-up of his senility, and then he comes out and
03:19:27.800
says, inside the cover-up of Joe Biden's senility.
03:19:31.600
Like, the guy is, talk about just absolute brazen, like, BS, I mean, from a political
03:19:44.880
And to know that that tape exists of you and to still have the gall to go out and write
03:19:52.620
Someone says, Charlie, what do you think of Netanyahu?
03:19:58.440
I'm not a member of the Israeli nation, so I don't have that strong of opinions of it.
03:20:06.400
So by the way, I can answer the question however I want.
03:20:32.760
I'm so proud to be the first one in our family to have not ruined my record by ever being a
03:20:40.700
Isn't it crazy that it just really feels like there's one party that's proud to be American,
03:20:44.980
that loves the flag, loves the nation, defends our military, supports our troops, border
03:20:51.960
And there's a whole other part of the country that apparently thinks these things are passive.
03:20:54.960
Chris says, posse comitatus, if they roll border patrol in the DoD, they cannot, under posse
03:21:02.480
comitatus, enforce civil law, but they can repel invasions.
03:21:06.540
So you declare an invasion, the DoD can fire on demand, do whatever you want.
03:21:11.540
But the entire point of a national army is defending the nation.
03:21:19.900
So this, these simple, like it's, you get these weird, like quasi libertarian, I call
03:21:25.980
them conservatarian arguments from phrases that used to get said on talk radio in like
03:21:38.260
Actual active duty army and Marines were used in LA riots in 1992.
03:21:44.480
I mean, we've used the military for things all the time.
03:21:51.120
It's, it's, it's, it's just not historically correct.
03:21:54.560
Let's go here to David Axelrod, who's probably trying to speak truth into the Democrat party.
03:22:03.040
So there's, it's one thing to mine our differences.
03:22:06.320
It's another thing to try and heal our differences.
03:22:08.880
And that is, you know, that, that's the difference between real leadership and political expedience.
03:22:16.180
Would it have been healing to stand for Mark Fogle?
03:22:24.360
I will say, I thought Democrat, I thought that was just, I think there were times when
03:22:37.900
And at some point you can, you got to stop blaming Joe Biden and you're going to be accountable.
03:22:42.800
And, uh, you know, he must've met Biden a dozen times in this speech.
03:22:50.400
You guys were blaming George W. Bush in year eight.
03:22:54.060
But, you know, something, Scott, we learned something from that.
03:23:01.380
These social issues, you know why he talks about them?
03:23:11.800
And nobody, oh, he's not talking about the right things.
03:23:23.580
The line of the night was they kept saying we need new legislation to secure the border.
03:23:28.180
But it turns out all we really needed was a new president.
03:23:32.720
I just have to say, I feel like he's got to stay put.
03:23:44.340
I'll show you again, that says travel to Wisconsin and chase 100 ballots.
03:23:50.160
Charlie, the Turning Point Action team is on the ground.
03:23:53.040
We have dozens and dozens and dozens of full-time staff that we've kept there.
03:23:57.680
We have the largest field presence, the permanent field presence.
03:24:00.580
We have an office in Waukesha, which is the epicenter for the Supreme Court races coming up.
03:24:07.560
Supreme Court, what does that matter to a president from Tennessee?
03:24:11.640
The Supreme Court hangs in the balance of Wisconsin.
03:24:13.500
And if the Democrats take control of it, it's a partisan election.
03:24:23.680
They can also make it impossible to win Wisconsin or really, really difficult to win Wisconsin if they get control of this.
03:24:33.560
We've got hotel rooms that are available by the great gift from our donors.
03:24:46.120
I think a lot more than that when you consider all the full-time staff millions.
03:24:57.240
Right now we are at just broke 1,000 people coming in.
03:25:15.880
You can go to tpaction.com slash 100 to sign up.
03:25:19.780
That's our Commit 100 program, which is just committing to chase just 100 votes.
03:25:24.180
So that means we give you a list of 100 people to chase.
03:25:27.360
And then we just need you to go talk to them, remind them to vote, and then help them walk
03:25:32.860
their ballot to their mailbox in some cases, or go vote early.
03:25:37.100
Let's also check that out at tpaction.com slash 100.
03:25:41.220
The line of the night, which I thought was beautifully crafted and wonderfully delivered.
03:25:51.320
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation.
03:26:00.460
But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
03:26:11.220
And I think that's so important because people like James Lankford and people like, you know,
03:26:25.300
And all these Democrats that were like, you need this ridiculous.
03:26:28.700
Now, I want you to think about if we would have lived in James Lankford's world.
03:26:35.980
Do you know that Trump would not be able to close the border right now?
03:26:43.000
It would have robbed Trump's term of the ability to close the border.
03:26:47.340
That was James Lankford's bipartisan border bill.
03:26:50.320
But if we pass that, Charlie, the Democrats would not call us racist ever again.
03:26:54.700
And I just hope all of you guys in Oklahoma know, James Lankford, you're done.
03:26:58.360
We're not going to let you run for dog catcher, for water reclamation district,
03:27:01.920
for mosquito abatement director, U.S. senator or governor.
03:27:13.780
You know half the state of Oklahoma is a Native American reservation.
03:27:24.480
But the reason being is because he went out there and brokered this deal, and he completely
03:27:30.260
gave the Democrats this talking point, saying, we have to do this bipartisan border deal.
03:27:36.960
And I think we would have won by even more if it wasn't for Lankford.
03:27:40.260
Like, that actually persuaded some people in the middle, gave them a chance of a talking point,
03:27:45.120
The Democrats just kept saying it over and over again.
03:27:48.220
And on campus, I would get that question a lot.
03:27:50.420
And I was like, okay, Lankford, I remember you.
03:27:56.900
And I don't—Blake, I want you to just riff on this for a second.
03:28:01.600
But how profoundly our border is closed is pretty amazing right now.
03:28:06.980
It really is that all you had to do was make it so if you show up at the border, you will not get in.
03:28:14.700
If you show up and won't get in, they'll stop coming.
03:28:17.880
Like, people are just—they're so rock stupid.
03:28:20.540
They're just like, they'll show up and then they'll all die.
03:28:29.260
Like, all those boats in the Caribbean—or not the Caribbean, in the Mediterranean,
03:28:32.240
they would stop if all you did was stop the boat, drop them off back in Libya where they started.
03:28:36.800
If you did that every time, no more boats in the Mediterranean.
03:28:44.480
But just remember all the nonsense in that James Langford bill.
03:28:54.180
No, but remember, the bill said, we can actually just turn it off when it gets over 5,000.
03:29:01.360
It locked in, like, the record high before Biden as, like, the normal amount of people that just led into America.
03:29:12.380
You are a worthless, gutless wonder, James Langford.
03:29:14.800
This is why we got such bad deals, because our leaders took absolute garbage deals and said,
03:29:23.760
And Trump, to his great credit, is now demonstrating you didn't need any of that stuff.
03:29:28.780
And not only is it one of his greatest accomplishments, and again, Dems on campus,
03:29:33.120
they go stone-cold silent when I say that the border's completely sealed,
03:29:39.440
At its peak, we almost had 400,000 people come in a month.
03:29:44.960
Last month, we had just about 8,000, which was 277 per day.
03:29:50.900
We went from 15,000 a day at one point with Biden, and it fluctuated.
03:29:54.720
But let's say 15,000 at its peak to 277 a day, and none of them got in.
03:30:01.980
And I just want to reiterate, like, the Democrats wanted the open border.
03:30:13.720
It was architected by the Democrats in order to change the political makeup of this country,
03:30:21.060
the demographic makeup of this country, the cultural makeup of this country.
03:30:24.940
It was an absolute designed disaster and a humanitarian catastrophe that could have been avoided.
03:30:34.260
Just a reminder, guys, if you want any of the stuff we're wearing, dough shirt or hat,
03:30:43.240
Secondly, if you guys want to get in the sweepstakes to win this stuff,
03:30:46.940
you could subscribe to our podcast and send us a proof of subscription.
03:30:56.600
I'm going to say this is I was so pleased not to have to look at Nancy Pelosi's face behind Donald Trump that entire time.
03:31:04.840
Look, and I was thinking about this, Charlie, and you probably agree.
03:31:06.900
This is something that you think about is think about how many more votes and more favorability we get by not having Nancy Pelosi behind him.
03:31:15.960
I just like people like people just respond more positively by not watching that, not giving them an upstaging moment, not having to like look at that.
03:31:24.920
I was distracted the whole time looking at her nasty face the entire time last time.
03:31:30.380
Don't look at the pictures when she was doing the walk in Italy, okay?
03:31:33.860
And again, you've got like neighborhood Ned Flanders, you know, speaker Ned Flanders.
03:31:38.880
You've got J.D. Vance, the millennial child boy wonder up there.
03:31:51.020
Imagine if we had Tim Walls in Kamala's seat there, like looking all bug-eyed.
03:32:00.820
We just went from that to that so abruptly, and you couldn't have a greater comparison tool that exists in American politics, maybe in history.
03:32:17.060
Yeah, look, I really want to come back to the way the Democrats acted tonight because I talk about this a lot.
03:32:23.180
I talk about how the importance of to the meta-normie narrative out there because people for a long time on the conservative right, these sort of old cons, would think that it's about beating the Democrats in there, winning the argument, winning the debate or something like that, when it's really about winning over normies, winning over normies to your side.
03:32:42.780
And the person who wins over the normies wins the election.
03:32:44.860
President Trump showed how to do that resoundingly in 2023 with him at the helm of this incredible coalition that he put together.
03:32:50.780
And what the problem is with that is the normies are only paying attention at certain times.
03:32:59.360
That's why Joe Biden was yanked after his first debate and someone tried to kill President Trump on national television.
03:33:05.720
It's also why Kamala Harris couldn't really survive her debate.
03:33:09.160
Tim Walz flamed out in debates, whereas J.D. Vance became a national figure in his debate, even though he was a national figure in his own right.
03:33:15.600
The State of the Union addresses, and this was a State of the Union address, again, to the normie audience.
03:33:21.000
In that context, this was a State of the Union address.
03:33:25.940
It had that sort of head of state appeal to it, sort of the dual-headed role of the presidency being head of state and head of government.
03:33:34.180
And so the way the Democrats acted, completely breaching decorum, completely laughing, completely, and by the way, not standing up and applauding for a child with brain cancer, I mean, these are politically devastating decisions.
03:33:50.360
And make no mistake, they are decisions, and you know that whatever the cooler heads that there are in the Democrat establishment, Charlie, you may have spoken to one of them earlier today.
03:34:07.980
Yeah, well, you'll know that they've got to be cringing because they realize just how badly received this is going to be by the American people.
03:34:15.320
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to speak for, you know, Gavin or any of these guys, but if any of them want to try to win an election in the future, what the Democrats did tonight was so self-defeating.
03:34:27.540
It's so just, you know, doubling and tripling down on, like, minoritarian nonsense.
03:34:40.240
President Trump's speech was the longest ever first addressed to Congress by, like, a lot.
03:34:48.480
And this reminded me of something Blake said at the beginning, so hat tip Blake, that he's only been in office for about 40 days, and yet the mountain of accomplishments is so large and so sweeping and so dramatic.
03:35:01.980
And the creativity and the upheaval, and so much has changed so quickly that he filled an hour and 40 minutes of content, and I didn't even realize it was that long.
03:35:19.580
It didn't feel like any of that because there is so much to talk about.
03:35:23.260
And I think we can definitively say that there has never been a more productive or effective or important and impactful first 40 days of a presidency in all of history.
03:35:37.260
Now, you could look at maybe Truman wrapping up World War II or something, but outside of wartime, there is nothing that I think compares in American history.
03:35:45.880
And, Blake, maybe you'll disagree with me, but this is so sweeping and radical in so many good ways that it's an hour and 40 minutes, and he deserved every ounce of that time.
03:36:00.460
He'll have to deliver his first real State of the Union in a year.
03:36:04.460
And if things work out, think about what he'll be able to talk about in a year.
03:36:08.960
If he's able to say, we've had a year of secured border now.
03:36:12.840
If we now have the peace deal in Ukraine, peace deal in the Middle East, we'll see on the economy.
03:36:19.740
We'll have D-reg, and we know we have AI something, and we have energy.
03:36:25.300
He has a potential to have a monumental first State of the Union.
03:36:28.820
Yeah, the only reason, the question mark in the economy, we don't know how bad it was what we've inherited.
03:36:35.180
Yeah, that there's going to be some—again, we could get bailed out by certain stuff.
03:36:40.380

03:37:35.600
Now, Blake, a year ago, if I told you Ben Shapiro was going to be on my show advocating for the pardon of Derek Chauvin.
03:37:46.620
You would say, what brand of mushrooms and how often are you taking them?
03:37:58.720
To my everlasting shame, I wasn't convinced that this was a good idea.
03:38:02.280
Charlie and Blake were like, we need to pardon Derek Chauvin.
03:38:14.960
But Ben, to his credit, is coming out hard from a, and he's a lawyer, and he's very smart,
03:38:32.360
The reason, you know, it probably wasn't more is because I was the, like, wet blanket in the
03:38:36.140
room going, like, I don't know if we're there yet, but my bad.
03:38:48.780
