They also discuss why the Trump movement is such a powerful force in American politics, and what it means for the future of the Democratic Party and the country, and how it can change the trajectory of American politics and the nation's economic and political future.

Charlie Kirk's bio? "Charlie Kirk"
00:00:35.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:42.000What you saw was an amazing coming together of two different realities.
00:01:47.000One was that the Democrats, both on performance and on policy and values, had failed, and the country knew it.
00:01:56.000On the other side, you had a candidate who had spent nine years, had endured being shot, had endured being assaulted in every way you could by the left, and endured being lied by the media.
00:02:11.000And so the country said, you know, in a dangerous world, who do I want to have as commander-in-chief?
00:02:17.000And partly Kamala Harris sort of disadvantaged herself because she was so shallow and so incompetent and so incapable of explaining anything.
00:02:29.000On the other hand, I think people gradually came to conclude that Trump had been a pretty darn good president.
00:02:38.000They could afford more gasoline, more groceries.
00:02:42.000They didn't have neighborhoods that were dominated by Venezuelan street gangs.
00:02:46.000And so there was a gradual shift all through October towards Trump, which frankly a number of us expected.
00:02:53.000I remember at the convention back in Milwaukee, Talking with Chris Lasavita, and we were just comparing notes about campaigns we've been in, and we both thought, you know, we're going to win this thing because both on performance and on values, the country's going to ultimately repudiate.
00:03:13.000Now, the big break, which you were a part of, I mean, let's be clear, the work you did, and I remember actually being with you at the convention and being on your program, the work you did at the grassroots, the people you turned out, the young people you engaged with debates, that was a big piece of this.
00:03:29.000The really big deal here, not only did Trump win, but he carried a majority of the American people.
00:03:37.000The reason that matters is you get a moral authority.
00:03:40.000The American people will say, okay, he really is the president of the American people.
00:03:47.000And if you'll notice, the left has been much less strident since Election Day, much more confused because I think it didn't just win, you know, a plurality of the vote in the Electoral College.
00:04:19.000Speaker, as we analyze this phenomenon, the Trump movement, better with Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, young Americans, sweeping the Rust Belt, almost every county going substantially to the right, President Trump defied some entrenched GOP orthodoxy on major issues, specifically immigration and also trade.
00:04:44.000Can you talk about the realignment that we've occurred?
00:04:47.000Donald Trump won the most Hispanic county in America, Starr County, 98% Hispanic county.
00:04:55.000Well, when you think about all these Harvard and Yale elitists, what in a brilliant analysis Scott Rasmussen called the 1%, the elite 1%, and their vision of the world, What you're seeing, and this is why you get the Never Trumpers, what you're seeing is a profound breakup of the old Republican Party.
00:05:19.000The people who were really establishment, but also Republican, are totally repudiated by the rise of a genuinely populist, conservative Republican Party.
00:05:31.000And that's why you see some of the bitter anger, you know, the Liz Cheney types, because their world is going, it's dying.
00:05:39.000You have the really hard left in the Democratic Party, and you have a new emerging populist party.
00:05:48.000Now, this really goes all the way back to Goldwater, goes back to Reagan's amazing speech in 1968, the time for choosing, or 64 rather, which you can get on YouTube, but if you've never seen it, it's worth it.
00:06:02.000Then the rise of Reagan, then we came along with the contract, then the Tea Party movement picked it up, and Trump came to Again, this is a billionaire.
00:06:13.000This is not some local guy in a blue collar outfit.
00:06:19.000This is a genuine billionaire, but whose instinct is to take on the establishment.
00:06:26.000And as a result, everyday working Americans rallied to him because candidly, they'd all been ripped off by the establishment.
00:06:34.000The establishment sold them out to build factories in China and Mexico.
00:06:39.000The establishment sold them out with radical values.
00:06:43.000The establishment sold them out by allowing the border to be open and Venezuelan and El Salvador gangs to be committing crimes, some of which are horrible.
00:06:53.000A five-year-old raped in Long Island, for example.
00:07:37.000So if it's a candidate, you might go, gee, I'm not sure.
00:07:41.000But if it's your champion, you are sure.
00:07:43.000And that's why every time the left cheated, every time, from Russia, Russia, to the FBI, to the investigations, to the two phony impeachments, to the phony lawfare, to being shot.
00:08:09.000Speaker, can you talk about how Donald Trump gave people something to vote for?
00:08:14.000It wasn't just that he was running against, but it was something to vote for.
00:08:19.000Well, first of all, he did 47 videos outlining a series of specific policies.
00:08:26.000Second, he put together a very clean, almost like contract with America, a platform of 20 big ideas.
00:08:33.000Third, in every rally, he talked about principled ideas, stopping inflation, creating economic growth, controlling the border, etc.
00:08:42.000So if you look at who talked policy, It was Donald J. Trump.
00:08:47.000And the result was people said, you know, and you got this all over and over again from focus groups, people who'd say, she's just babbling.
00:08:54.000She won't tell you what she really believes.
00:09:21.000Speaker, at the RNC convention, I remember we turned to each other and we almost got teary eyes because that was three days after President Trump got shot.
00:09:29.000And I just, I can't help but say that it was the hand of God on this movement.
00:09:33.000Can you comment on that very quickly in one minute, Mr.
00:09:38.000I was there that Saturday and went over and did Fox and I was on with Sean.
00:09:43.000And I said, you know, I think this is providential.
00:09:46.000I mean, if he had not moved his head, turning away from looking at that board back, if he had not moved his head at exactly that second, the bullet would have entered his brain and killed him.
00:10:00.000And I think he feels that way, much like Reagan.
00:10:03.000Remember, both Reagan and Pope John Paul II had been shot.
00:10:07.000And when they got together for the first time, they compared their thoughts about being shot and God sparing them.
00:10:14.000And they decided that God had spared them to defeat the Soviet Empire.
00:10:17.000I think that Trump was deeply affected by being shot.
00:10:21.000I think he believes that God gave him a purpose, which was to save America.
00:10:25.000And I think he's a better man for how he has responded to that experience.
00:10:32.000If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.
00:11:11.000Right now, their three-week quick start is just $19.95.

00:11:24.000So don't mask your pain, fight it naturally with Relief Factor, relieffactor.com.
00:11:50.000Terminally is a long time, but they're certainly going to be wedded to them for the next 10 or 15 years.
00:11:55.000And they're going to focus on the idea that it was all Biden's fault and Kamala's fault, but that the basic ideas are right.
00:12:02.000I mean, you already have people like, you know, The leading socialist in the Senate, Bernie Sanders, saying, you know, the Democrats abandoned the working class and therefore the working class abandoned them.
00:12:18.000So he would argue socialism now would be the right battle cry.
00:12:46.000Which, frankly, from our standpoint as conservatives is good because it means that the vacuum will grow and that people will increasingly leave the Democratic Party.
00:12:57.000Yeah, and it's just, so if you were to say, how do we expand and build on this for the new, the 3.0 contract with America, legislatively, if you were to give advice to Speaker Johnson, if I may, I'm actually going to tell you what I told Speaker Johnson this morning, and I'd love your comments, Mr.
00:13:15.000I'm talking to, you know, the greatest speaker of a generation here.
00:13:18.000I said, start with a very clean and simple border bill, H.R.1, something that can get everyone to agree on it and get it signed in the first 30 days.
00:13:36.000And I would say you want to build a very strong communications component because what we found, we run a project called the America's New Majority Project, which people can see at americasnewmajorityproject.com.
00:13:51.000And starting in 2018, we have been doing polls and focus groups looking for 60% and 70% and 80% issues.
00:13:58.000I knew two years ago that we had an opening with the Latino community That none of the traditional Republican professionals understood.
00:14:06.000I knew that those had a big opportunity with Asian Americans, which began to pay off in this election.
00:14:12.000And we were constantly looking for issues where we thought that people would simply be repulsed by the Democrats.
00:14:19.000For example, Over 80% of the country believes that parents have the right to know what's happening to their children in school.
00:14:26.000Well, of course, the teachers union hates that.
00:14:31.000And, you know, when you get into that kind of a fight, lots of young people actually agree that parents ought to know what's going on in the classroom.
00:14:39.000So it didn't shock me that Trump began to really build momentum with Latinos, with African American males, with Asian Americans, and I don't think I
00:15:13.000Speaker, very quickly, what lessons can we learn from unified government in 2017 when we had Paul Ryan, McConnell, Trump, and it didn't necessarily go great those first six months?
00:15:26.000And you mentioned some of that, but please.
00:15:28.000No, I'm going to tell you bluntly because I was there.
00:15:31.000I went to see Trump early and I said, having been Speaker of the House and having balanced the budget for four straight years and having gotten re-elected for the first time since 1928, I said, open with an infrastructure bill because you will have half the Democrats support you.
00:16:38.000For over 23 years, Selective Search has been America's leading matchmaking authority, especially for conservatives and people of faith.
00:16:46.000They know the challenges you face trying to find someone who respects your traditional family values and is on the same page politically.
00:16:52.000So if you are a 35 to 45 year old man who loves God, loves his country and wants a family, Selective Search has female clients looking to meet you.
00:17:43.000Okay, joining us now is who I am pushing very hard to become a leader, Senate Majority Leader, and is the great Senator from Florida.
00:17:51.000First of all, Senator, congratulations on your triumphant victory, despite them spending a lot of money against you, and congratulations to America.
00:17:58.000Senator Rick Scott welcomes the program.
00:18:00.000Well, first, Charlie, thank you for all your help in the race.
00:18:03.000I mean, you had a wonderful individual down here doing voter registration and voter turnout, and we had a massive win, almost 6 million votes, We got the vote out, and you guys are a big part of it.
00:18:18.000We beat our opponent by 1.4 million votes.
00:18:20.000We won Miami-Dade, which no one ever thought Republicans could do.
00:18:24.000We won Osceola County, which is primarily Puerto Rican.
00:18:26.000We won the county with Tampa's end, the county that St.
00:18:31.000Petersburg is in, the county that Jacksonville is in.
00:18:34.000I mean, this was a massive win because it was a complete rejection of all the things the Democrats have been pushing.
00:18:41.000But thank you, thank you, thank you for your team down here that did a great job.
00:19:28.000And is that one of the reasons why you're running for leader to prioritize races that can win, even if they aren't necessarily in McConnell's back pocket?
00:22:05.000He didn't go make this money by building a company and says, now I get to spend my money.
00:22:09.000No, he's raising donor money that's supposed to elect Republicans And say, oh, I'm only going to elect Republicans that are going to vote for me or my hand-picked candidate to be the majority leader.
00:25:23.000If Trump doesn't get a majority leader in the Senate that is supportive of his agenda, Then some of the things that he's proposed, if we're not, they're not going to happen.
00:25:35.000I mean, there's nominees that Trump will want because it happened when McConnell was the president, our majority leader of the Senate, his first two years of Trump.
00:25:48.000It never got through because he didn't like them.
00:25:51.000Judy Shilton, who would have held the Federal Reserve accountable.
00:25:55.000He made sure that there were two people out.
00:25:59.000Chuck Grassley and I were out because of COVID. We had COVID. So he organized his vote that week so she lost by one.
00:26:07.000He could have brought the vote up again.
00:26:12.000So what Trump needs is somebody that's going to help him get his agenda done.
00:26:17.000Well, I tell everybody, if you like the Trump agenda and you want it to get accomplished, you need to call.
00:26:23.000If you have a Republican senator in your state, You need to call every Republican senator that you know and say, look, Rick Scott's got to be the majority leader or somebody, I mean, there's nobody else, I'm the only one running that has this relationship with Trump, but somebody that's going to get Trump's agenda done.
00:26:39.000Otherwise, what do we just, we went out and busted our butt wanting to elect Trump and get a majority in the Senate and a majority in the House.
00:28:04.000But I think what you have to have is you've got to have somebody that has a relationship with Trump, has been supportive of his agenda, is a business guy to get something done.
00:28:14.000And if we want the Trump agenda done, that's what's got to happen.
00:28:18.000And the other thing that we've got to make sure this stuff gets out of the house, The Freedom Caucus is an important part of the House.
00:28:27.000We're going to need their votes to get it done.
00:28:28.000The way you do that is you talk to them.
00:28:31.000I meet with the Freedom Caucus from the House every Wednesday night.
00:28:33.000We're up in D.C. to say, guys, we have got to be for something.
00:28:40.000We've got to be for something that moves the ball.
00:28:45.000And then we got to fight like hell if they have bad stuff.
00:28:48.000My advice to Speaker Johnson is we went in the wrong direction back in 2017, and I wanted the repeal of Obamacare, but it wasn't done right.
00:28:56.000We need a crisp, short, precise border bill.
00:29:00.000That gives more funding to Border Patrol.
00:29:02.000That gives us the ability to secure our border, including wall funding.
00:31:01.000Yeah, so can you share one or two, not the spicier ones, but some of the more interesting ones, of just general ideas of what you think President Trump should do as soon as he becomes president?
00:31:12.000Yeah, one of the interesting ones I heard that I hadn't considered myself, you know, we've talked about make America healthy again as an idea, but what would that manifestly mean?
00:31:22.000And one of the cool ideas I heard was they talked about making federal science great again.
00:31:29.000So, we have evidence, for example, that government funded research on some of the trans stuff, for example.
00:31:36.000That they did research in puberty blockers, and it sounds like that research hasn't been published because they were saying it could be misinterpreted or exploited.
00:31:45.000Basically, that it was not good outcomes.
00:31:48.000So, you could easily say, if you're getting federal money for research, your results have to be published.
00:31:55.000Another thing I'd never heard about, but it's very interesting, is someone told me that we have existing laws regarding pharmaceutical research that have just gotten ignored.
00:32:05.000That the FDA is owed billions, actually tens of billions of dollars in late fees for drug trials where companies just didn't report them.
00:32:16.000And that's a very interesting thing I hadn't considered and could be a very good step towards what we've talked about, which is a kind of government transparency project.
00:32:26.000You have transparency of research, transparency of funding.
00:32:30.000You have transparency of government communications with companies.
00:32:35.000So you do a Twitter files for everything.
00:32:39.000Any of their communications with tech companies, not just Twitter, but Facebook.
00:32:43.000Really show everything that they did in 2020 in terms of fighting disinformation for COVID or for the Hunter Biden stuff.
00:32:52.000There's so many things that we could do on that front.
00:32:55.000And what's great about all of those is those can just be done by the executive branch.
00:32:59.000You don't need a single act of Congress to do it.
00:33:35.000Classify cartels as terrorist organizations.
00:33:38.000Criminally investigate every politician that has supported open borders or signed off on NGO for connections to cartels or foreign influence.
00:33:48.000Severely tax remittances and use tariffs.
00:33:52.000And foreign governments that don't comply with repatriation.
00:33:55.000All of that can be done on the first day.
00:33:57.000And my advice to the transition thing is going to be President Trump, like Joe Biden, should say, so help me God on the King James Bible at high noon on January the 20th.
00:34:06.000Walk into the outer room of the U.S. Capitol, right there on the Capitol.
00:34:11.000Sign the nonviolent pardons for January 6th.
00:34:14.000Sign these eight or nine executive orders on the border.
