Speaker Newt Gingrich and Sen. Rick Scott join Charlie Kirk to discuss the historic victory for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, and why it was such a special moment in American history. Charlie and Rick discuss the impact of Turning Point USA and its impact on the 2020 campaign, and the impact it had on the outcome of the election. 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.

00:01:20.000 I'm going to read you a text message here of our next guest I sent on Monday.

00:01:25.000 Do you think we are going to win?

00:01:28.000 Newt Gingrich replies, yes.

00:01:30.000 Joining us now is Speaker Gingrich.

00:01:32.000 Mr.

00:01:33.000 Speaker, what a time to be alive.

00:01:34.000 You saw this thing coming.

00:01:36.000 Can you please frame this in historical proportions for our audience?

00:01:41.000 Sure.

00:01:42.000 What you saw was an amazing coming together of two different realities.

00:01:47.000 One was that the Democrats, both on performance and on policy and values, had failed, and the country knew it.

00:01:56.000 On 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.

00:02:09.000 And was still standing.

00:02:11.000 And so the country said, you know, in a dangerous world, who do I want to have as commander-in-chief?

00:02:17.000 And partly Kamala Harris sort of disadvantaged herself because she was so shallow and so incompetent and so incapable of explaining anything. 1.00

00:02:29.000 On the other hand, I think people gradually came to conclude that Trump had been a pretty darn good president.

00:02:36.000 Things had been a lot better.

00:02:38.000 They could afford more gasoline, more groceries.

00:02:42.000 They didn't have neighborhoods that were dominated by Venezuelan street gangs.

00:02:46.000 And so there was a gradual shift all through October towards Trump, which frankly a number of us expected.

00:02:53.000 I 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.

00:03:13.000 Now, 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.

00:03:29.000 The really big deal here, not only did Trump win, but he carried a majority of the American people.

00:03:37.000 The reason that matters is you get a moral authority.

00:03:40.000 The American people will say, okay, he really is the president of the American people.

00:03:47.000 And 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.

00:04:00.000 He won the whole thing.

00:04:02.000 Dare I say it was a clean victory.

00:04:06.000 We got it on election night, Mr.

00:04:08.000 Speaker.

00:04:08.000 I mean, on election night, we knew our winner.

00:04:11.000 I mean, not even in 2020, it took us four or five days.

00:04:17.000 And so let me ask you, Mr.

00:04:19.000 Speaker, 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.

00:04:44.000 Can you talk about the realignment that we've occurred?

00:04:47.000 Donald Trump won the most Hispanic county in America, Starr County, 98% Hispanic county.

00:04:55.000 Well, 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.

00:05:19.000 The people who were really establishment, but also Republican, are totally repudiated by the rise of a genuinely populist, conservative Republican Party.

00:05:31.000 And that's why you see some of the bitter anger, you know, the Liz Cheney types, because their world is going, it's dying.

00:05:39.000 You have the really hard left in the Democratic Party, and you have a new emerging populist party.

00:05:48.000 Now, 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.

00:06:02.000 Then 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.

00:06:13.000 This is not some local guy in a blue collar outfit.

00:06:19.000 This is a genuine billionaire, but whose instinct is to take on the establishment.

00:06:26.000 And as a result, everyday working Americans rallied to him because candidly, they'd all been ripped off by the establishment.

00:06:34.000 The establishment sold them out to build factories in China and Mexico.

00:06:39.000 The establishment sold them out with radical values.

00:06:43.000 The 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.

00:06:53.000 A five-year-old raped in Long Island, for example.

00:06:56.000 I mean, these things aren't made up.

00:06:57.000 These aren't scare stories.

00:06:59.000 These are news.

00:07:00.000 These are real things.

00:07:00.000 That's right.

00:07:01.000 So what happened is people of common sense looked around and said, that ain't working.

00:07:07.000 That's not a future I want for my family.

00:07:09.000 And Donald Trump was there.

00:07:11.000 And then I think in a way that nobody on the left could understand.

00:07:16.000 I kept saying this for three years.

00:07:19.000 When you have the champion of a movement, they're not a candidate.

00:07:24.000 Candidates are different animals.

00:07:26.000 Kamala was a candidate.

00:07:27.000 She had no movement.

00:07:28.000 Donald Trump, when your champion is attacked, You move towards them.

00:07:34.000 You want to protect them.

00:07:35.000 You want to prop them up.

00:07:37.000 So if it's a candidate, you might go, gee, I'm not sure.

00:07:41.000 But if it's your champion, you are sure.

00:07:43.000 And 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.

00:07:57.000 I mean, every time...

00:08:00.000 His support grew as people said, wait a second, if they fear him that much, maybe he's my guy.

00:08:08.000 Mr.

00:08:09.000 Speaker, can you talk about how Donald Trump gave people something to vote for?

00:08:14.000 It wasn't just that he was running against, but it was something to vote for.

00:08:19.000 Well, first of all, he did 47 videos outlining a series of specific policies.

00:08:26.000 Second, he put together a very clean, almost like contract with America, a platform of 20 big ideas.

00:08:33.000 Third, in every rally, he talked about principled ideas, stopping inflation, creating economic growth, controlling the border, etc.

00:08:42.000 So if you look at who talked policy, It was Donald J. Trump.

00:08:47.000 And 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.

00:08:54.000 She won't tell you what she really believes.

00:08:56.000 You can't trust her.

00:08:58.000 And then they would say about Trump, I don't always like what he does, but I love what he stands for.

00:09:03.000 I love his policies and I'm with him.

00:09:06.000 And that got bigger and bigger in October.

00:09:08.000 You could really feel the momentum as people thought about it.

00:09:11.000 And they moved to him.

00:09:13.000 It's just the historic proportion here is just remarkable.

00:09:17.000 Blacks, Hispanics, young voters across the board.

00:09:20.000 And Mr.

00:09:21.000 Speaker, 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.

00:09:29.000 And I just, I can't help but say that it was the hand of God on this movement.

00:09:33.000 Can you comment on that very quickly in one minute, Mr.

00:09:35.000 Speaker?

00:09:36.000 Look, I felt very strongly.

00:09:38.000 I was there that Saturday and went over and did Fox and I was on with Sean.

00:09:43.000 And I said, you know, I think this is providential.

00:09:46.000 I 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.

00:09:58.000 Now, that's providential.

00:10:00.000 And I think he feels that way, much like Reagan.

00:10:03.000 Remember, both Reagan and Pope John Paul II had been shot.

00:10:07.000 And when they got together for the first time, they compared their thoughts about being shot and God sparing them.

00:10:14.000 And they decided that God had spared them to defeat the Soviet Empire.

00:10:17.000 I think that Trump was deeply affected by being shot.

00:10:21.000 I think he believes that God gave him a purpose, which was to save America.

00:10:25.000 And I think he's a better man for how he has responded to that experience.

00:10:32.000 If 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.

00:10:41.000 It's time to try Relief Factor.

00:10:43.000 And the good news is Relief Factor makes it quite easy.

00:11:30.000 So, Mr.

00:11:31.000 Speaker, if you were to estimate...

00:11:34.000 What is the path forward for the Democrat Party?

00:11:37.000 Not what they should do, but what do you think they will do?

00:11:40.000 Will they really exercise the demons of their woke past?

00:11:45.000 Or are they married to these radical elements permanently?

00:11:49.000 Well...

00:11:50.000 Terminally is a long time, but they're certainly going to be wedded to them for the next 10 or 15 years.

00:11:55.000 And 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.

00:12:02.000 I 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.

00:12:18.000 So he would argue socialism now would be the right battle cry.

00:12:22.000 I'm sure AOC feels the same way.

00:12:25.000 And I think that there's no...

00:12:28.000 Because Kamala was such a total vacuum of ideas and was so clearly incompetent. 1.00

00:12:34.000 And because Biden had become cognitively impossible to defend, they can keep it all up at a personality level.

00:12:41.000 What they'll say is, oh, our ideas weren't defeated.

00:12:44.000 We just had really bad candidates.

00:12:46.000 Which, 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.

00:12:57.000 Yeah, 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.

00:13:13.000 Speaker.

00:13:14.000 Again, who am I to give advice?

00:13:15.000 I'm talking to, you know, the greatest speaker of a generation here.

00:13:18.000 I 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.

00:13:27.000 Nothing too big.

00:13:28.000 Do you agree with that, Mr.

00:13:29.000 Speaker, getting a win, getting a victory on the low-hanging fruit, especially with a slim majority?

00:13:35.000 No, I think that's exactly right.

00:13:36.000 And 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.

00:13:51.000 And starting in 2018, we have been doing polls and focus groups looking for 60% and 70% and 80% issues.

00:13:58.000 I knew two years ago that we had an opening with the Latino community That none of the traditional Republican professionals understood.

00:14:06.000 I knew that those had a big opportunity with Asian Americans, which began to pay off in this election.

00:14:12.000 And we were constantly looking for issues where we thought that people would simply be repulsed by the Democrats.

00:14:19.000 For example, Over 80% of the country believes that parents have the right to know what's happening to their children in school.

00:14:26.000 Well, of course, the teachers union hates that.

00:14:29.000 The hard left hates that.

00:14:31.000 And, 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.

00:14:39.000 So 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

00:15:10.000 can afford to be a Democrat.

00:15:12.000 Mr.

00:15:13.000 Speaker, 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?

00:15:23.000 What lessons can we learn from that?

00:15:26.000 And you mentioned some of that, but please.

00:15:28.000 No, I'm going to tell you bluntly because I was there.

00:15:31.000 I 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.

00:15:49.000 I totally agree.

00:15:50.000 Very bipartisan.

00:15:51.000 And McConnell and Ryan, who did not have a clue, went in and said, oh no, let's open by repealing Obamacare.

00:15:59.000 Well, first of all, in the end, they didn't have the votes.

00:16:01.000 And second, it guaranteed total partisanship.

00:16:06.000 And I don't blame Trump.

00:16:07.000 I mean, Trump was a brand new president.

00:16:09.000 He'd never been in charge before.

00:16:11.000 You have the majority leader in the Senate.

00:16:13.000 You have the Speaker of the House.

00:16:14.000 What are you going to do?

00:16:15.000 But it was totally wrong.

00:16:17.000 And I blame McConnell and Ryan for it.

00:16:19.000 And I think it was a huge mistake.

00:16:21.000 Great analysis, Mr.

00:16:23.000 Speaker.

00:16:23.000 I completely agree.

00:16:24.000 And let's not repeat those mistakes.

00:16:26.000 And I think God gave us a four-year intermission to be able to reload, reconsider, and fix and save the country.

00:16:33.000 Mr.

00:16:33.000 Speaker, thank you so much.

00:18:57.000 This thing's going to be a knife fight. 0.90

00:18:58.000 It is not over yet.

00:18:59.000 She just won 58% of the latest drop.

00:19:02.000 So, Senator, my goal is to get you a reinforcement there from Arizona.

00:19:05.000 I have no guarantees.

00:19:06.000 And I do want to ask you about that.

00:19:08.000 I do have to ask, and this is just me kind of being...

00:19:12.000 Candid.

00:19:12.000 Senator, if you were in charge, I imagine you would have spent some money here in Arizona.

00:19:16.000 And instead, the current Senate leadership apparatus, of which you are challenging, did not spend a cent or a dime to help Cary Lake.

00:19:26.000 Can you add context to that?

00:19:28.000 And 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?

00:19:36.000 Well, first of all, think about it.

00:19:38.000 Let's make it real simple.

00:19:39.000 There were only two senators that had competitive races, Ted Cruz and me, that were incumbents.

00:19:45.000 McConnell didn't help either one of us.

00:19:47.000 Then, let's look at Carrie Lake. 1.00

00:19:49.000 Now, what's the common ingredient?

00:19:51.000 Oh, we're conservatives.

00:19:53.000 We actually believe and follow the Constitution.

00:19:56.000 We don't want to have massive spending bills, right?

00:19:59.000 We want to actually help President Trump implement his agenda.

00:20:03.000 And so, McConnell attacked me He attacked Trump during the campaign.

00:20:12.000 We're campaigning to win our elections, and he's out attacking us.

00:20:16.000 So, yeah, I don't get it.

00:20:19.000 McConnell wouldn't spend money out last cycle either out in Arizona, but he spends money where we had way less of a shot.

00:20:30.000 I mean, look, Larry Hogan's great.

00:20:32.000 I love Larry Hogan.

00:20:35.000 To be in the Senate.

00:20:36.000 I don't agree with everything he does, but it would be good to have another Republican.

00:20:40.000 But you're going to spend money, and McConnell spent money there, a lot of money there, and not in a place.

00:20:45.000 How much money did he spend there, Senator?

00:20:47.000 I'm trying to interrupt.

00:20:47.000 I haven't been able to find a number.

00:20:49.000 Can you give an estimate, please?

00:20:50.000 I am curious.

00:20:51.000 Somebody told him.

00:20:52.000 I mean, I haven't seen the final number, but somebody said it was like $17 million.

00:20:56.000 I don't know if that's accurate.

00:20:57.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:20:59.000 I mean, I don't know if that's the right number, but think about it.

00:21:02.000 If Kerry had that money...

00:21:04.000 She'd be up by three points.

00:21:06.000 And on top of it, go support.

00:21:10.000 Even if McConnell, whoever the leader is, spends half a million dollars that says, we care, Kerry can do it.

00:21:19.000 But when they say, no, we're not going to spend a dime, or what they did the last cycle, we don't have very good candidates.

00:21:27.000 That's what McConnell said last cycle.

00:21:29.000 How is that going to help us get a majority?

00:21:31.000 What's the most important thing?

00:21:33.000 Get a majority so we can govern.

00:21:36.000 You don't get a majority and say, I only want a majority if they agree with everything I do and let me run everything by myself.

00:21:43.000 That was McConnell's approach.

00:21:44.000 McConnell's approach is it's a dictatorship.

00:21:46.000 He wanted a McConnell majority, not a Republican majority.

00:21:51.000 Can you add that distinction, a McConnell majority versus a Republican one?

00:21:55.000 Yeah, all he wanted was people that agreed with him.

00:21:58.000 So if you agree with him, that's what he does.

00:22:01.000 He lords over donor money.

00:22:03.000 It is not his money.

00:22:05.000 He didn't go make this money by building a company and says, now I get to spend my money.

00:22:09.000 No, 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.

00:22:22.000 That's it.

00:22:23.000 Nobody else.

00:22:24.000 Everybody else, if you lose, I don't really care because I'd rather be in a minority.

00:22:30.000 I mean, this is crazy.

00:22:32.000 I'm running because guess what?

00:22:34.000 I want a majority.

00:22:35.000 I want to implement Republican ideas.

00:22:37.000 I want to implement Donald Trump's ideas.

00:22:40.000 I want to make sure everybody feels like, hey, you're a part of it.

00:22:44.000 You won your Senate race.

00:22:45.000 You get a vote up here.

00:22:47.000 Not under McConnell.

00:22:48.000 McConnell comes in.

00:22:50.000 He says, this is what we're doing.

00:22:52.000 And if you disagree with me, guess what?

00:22:54.000 You probably won't get any campaign money next time.

00:22:59.000 So, I mean, it's not good for us.

00:23:03.000 It's not good for the country.

00:23:04.000 Let's get somebody that actually knows, say, I want a majority.

00:23:08.000 I want to be able to govern.

00:23:10.000 You don't get to govern if you're not a majority.

00:23:11.000 All you do is get to stop things, unless you vote with the Democrats, which is what he's done a lot, too.

00:23:18.000 You look at the omnibus bills he passed under Biden.

00:23:21.000 You look at the CHIPS Act, which he passed under Biden.

00:23:24.000 You look at You know, all these bills that he passed under Biden, it was all the Democrats in the Senate and 11 to 17 Republicans.

00:23:33.000 So we will hit $36 trillion in debt, I think, this month.

00:23:36.000 I think when McConnell got up here, it was five.

00:23:39.000 So you think inflation is going away when we keep spending 40% more than we take in?

00:23:43.000 Unlikely.

00:23:44.000 So, Senator, let's continue.

00:23:47.000 What is necessary for you to become leader?

00:23:50.000 When is the vote?

00:23:51.000 What does it take to get it done?

00:23:54.000 Give us a little inside baseball.

00:23:55.000 Is it anonymous vote?

00:23:57.000 Are you guys all meeting in a room?

00:23:59.000 Bring us into the room.

00:24:00.000 So, here's the deal.

00:24:02.000 Under our bylaws, the election is supposed to be in January.

00:24:06.000 But since McConnell came into power, he rushes the vote to right after the election.

00:24:13.000 So the vote's going to be next Wednesday.

00:24:15.000 So why does he do that?

00:24:17.000 Well, so the new guys don't really know much, and he can go to them and say, you know what?

00:24:24.000 I put a lot of money in your state, and you're going to vote against what I believe.

00:24:28.000 Just think next time you run, buddy, what's going to happen to you.

00:24:31.000 So that's what he does.

00:24:32.000 So the election is going to be next Wednesday.

00:24:35.000 So I'm running.

00:24:37.000 John Thune's running.

00:24:38.000 John Cornyn's running.

00:24:40.000 I believe I'm going to win because when I talk to my colleagues, they want change.

00:24:46.000 They want to be treated as equals.

00:24:49.000 A majority of them, not all of them, a majority of them support the Trump agenda.

00:24:54.000 They want to help him.

00:24:55.000 They know I've got a great working relationship with him.

00:24:57.000 I've got a working relationship with the Freedom Caucus in the House and with Speaker Johnson.

00:25:03.000 They know, as a business guy, I can get things done.

00:25:06.000 What do business guys do?

00:25:07.000 Well, we say, this is what we're going to do.

00:25:09.000 This is our vision.

00:25:11.000 Let's build a team.

00:25:12.000 Let's have a plan to execute it.

00:25:14.000 And let's measure the living daylights out of things.

00:25:17.000 Successful people do that.

00:25:18.000 That's what business guys do.

00:25:20.000 So what they know is that's what I'm going to do.

00:25:22.000 That's what Trump's going to do.

00:25:23.000 If 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.

00:25:35.000 I 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.

00:25:48.000 It never got through because he didn't like them.

00:25:51.000 Judy Shilton, who would have held the Federal Reserve accountable.

00:25:55.000 He made sure that there were two people out.

00:25:59.000 Chuck Grassley and I were out because of COVID. We had COVID. So he organized his vote that week so she lost by one.

00:26:07.000 He could have brought the vote up again.

00:26:09.000 Ah, did he know?

00:26:12.000 So what Trump needs is somebody that's going to help him get his agenda done.

00:26:17.000 Well, I tell everybody, if you like the Trump agenda and you want it to get accomplished, you need to call.

00:26:23.000 If 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.

00:26:39.000 Otherwise, 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.

00:26:47.000 And what are we going to do with it?

00:26:48.000 We're going to squander it like what happened, what happened under Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, Trump's first two years.

00:26:55.000 I mean, they think he didn't get his nominees done.

00:26:57.000 He didn't get the legislation.

00:26:59.000 So, when McConnell was the head, when Trump was president, and Ryan was the Speaker of the House, he wanted to do an infrastructure bill.

00:27:07.000 Did they get it done?

00:27:09.000 No.

00:27:09.000 But did they help Biden get it done?

00:27:12.000 Yeah.

00:27:13.000 Absolutely they helped Biden get it done.

00:27:15.000 They got the 11 or so Republicans to help Biden, so he could go brag that he got some infrastructure.

00:27:23.000 Was it a good deal?

00:27:24.000 No, it was a horrible deal.

00:27:26.000 It was the Green New Deal stuff. 0.94

00:27:27.000 They're paying for charging stations all over the country.

00:27:30.000 I mean, is somebody paying for your gas?

00:27:33.000 No, they're not.

00:27:34.000 But you're paying for their charging station.

00:27:36.000 Senator, the vote is coming up next week.

00:27:39.000 Can you just remind the audience who is your opposition?

00:27:41.000 And the grassroots are behind you 100%.

00:27:43.000 Well, my opposition is John Thune.

00:27:50.000 He's a senator from South Dakota.

00:27:52.000 He's been there, I think, since the late 90s.

00:27:55.000 And then John Cornyn from Texas.

00:27:57.000 He's been there since 2002.

00:28:00.000 You'd love to have dinner with them.

00:28:04.000 But 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.

00:28:14.000 And if we want the Trump agenda done, that's what's got to happen.

00:28:18.000 And 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.

00:28:27.000 We're going to need their votes to get it done.

00:28:28.000 The way you do that is you talk to them.

00:28:31.000 I meet with the Freedom Caucus from the House every Wednesday night.

00:28:33.000 We're up in D.C. to say, guys, we have got to be for something.

00:28:38.000 Now, we've got to stop the bad stuff.

00:28:40.000 We've got to be for something that moves the ball.

00:28:45.000 And then we got to fight like hell if they have bad stuff.

00:28:48.000 My 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.

00:28:56.000 We need a crisp, short, precise border bill.

00:29:00.000 That gives more funding to Border Patrol.

00:29:02.000 That gives us the ability to secure our border, including wall funding.

00:29:05.000 Get it to the House, Senate.

00:29:07.000 You do not need a filibuster on that, right?

00:29:09.000 It should pass the threshold because it should be just its own supplemental.

00:29:13.000 You could prove...

00:29:14.000 Am I correct on that, Senator?

00:29:15.000 Does it pass the filibuster threshold?

00:29:17.000 That's my understanding.

00:29:18.000 I agree with you.

00:29:19.000 Yep.

00:29:20.000 It's a budget bill.

00:29:21.000 Straight to the president's desk.

00:29:22.000 Sign it in the first month.

00:29:23.000 It doesn't need.

00:29:24.000 Yep.

00:29:26.000 Right.

00:29:26.000 Let's do something.

00:29:27.000 You do it in the first 30 days.

00:29:29.000 Yes.

00:29:30.000 Yes.

00:29:30.000 Get it done.

00:29:31.000 Get it right out of the gate.

00:29:32.000 Show the American people you're fulfilling the mandate on the border.

00:29:34.000 First 30 days.

00:29:36.000 Senator, we're behind you 100%.

00:29:37.000 Let us know how we can help.

00:29:38.000 Thank you.

00:29:39.000 All right.

00:29:40.000 Thanks for your support.

00:29:40.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:29:41.000 And thanks for your help win the election.

00:29:46.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:47.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:29:49.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.

00:29:53.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:29:56.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:30:01.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

00:30:05.000 And we're not going to do nothing.

00:30:07.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:30:13.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:30:15.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:30:18.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:30:24.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:30:28.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:30:31.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:30:33.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:30:36.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:30:39.000 Also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:30:42.000 I'm a donor of this organization.

00:30:43.000 They're terrific.

00:30:44.000 Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.

00:30:48.000 Blake, there's so much going on right now, and you must be having fun.

00:30:53.000 I'm soliciting ideas, Blake, on things that this new government can do.

00:30:57.000 I am soliciting all of them.

00:30:58.000 Do you want to share some of them?

00:30:59.000 Big intake.

00:31:01.000 Yeah, 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? 0.67

00:31:12.000 Yeah, 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?

00:31:22.000 And one of the cool ideas I heard was they talked about making federal science great again.

00:31:29.000 So, we have evidence, for example, that government funded research on some of the trans stuff, for example.

00:31:36.000 That 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.

00:31:45.000 Basically, that it was not good outcomes.

00:31:47.000 And we haven't seen that research.

00:31:48.000 So, you could easily say, if you're getting federal money for research, your results have to be published.

00:31:55.000 Another 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.

00:32:05.000 That the FDA is owed billions, actually tens of billions of dollars in late fees for drug trials where companies just didn't report them.

00:32:15.000 And we should be collecting those.

00:32:16.000 And 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.

00:32:26.000 You have transparency of research, transparency of funding.

00:32:30.000 You have transparency of government communications with companies.

00:32:35.000 So you do a Twitter files for everything.

00:32:39.000 Any of their communications with tech companies, not just Twitter, but Facebook.

00:32:43.000 Really show everything that they did in 2020 in terms of fighting disinformation for COVID or for the Hunter Biden stuff.

00:32:52.000 There's so many things that we could do on that front.

00:32:55.000 And what's great about all of those is those can just be done by the executive branch.

00:32:59.000 You don't need a single act of Congress to do it.

00:33:02.000 I love all those ideas.

00:33:03.000 And, I mean, the amount of power that President Trump has to be able to shape the federal bureaucracy in our direction is amazing.

00:33:13.000 And we must, again, fulfill the mandate.

00:33:16.000 Fulfill the mandate.

00:33:17.000 Just some of these right here.

00:33:18.000 By the way, this is Ben Berkwam, who I love on Real America's Voice.

00:33:22.000 Seven steps to securing the border.

00:33:24.000 End CPB1 and begin deportations on anyone that was given paroled release.

00:33:29.000 Re-implement Remain in Mexico.

00:33:30.000 Exit the global compact on migration.

00:33:33.000 Defund NGOs in all sanctuary cities.

00:33:35.000 Classify cartels as terrorist organizations.

00:33:38.000 Criminally investigate every politician that has supported open borders or signed off on NGO for connections to cartels or foreign influence.

00:33:46.000 Implement E-Verify.

00:33:48.000 Severely tax remittances and use tariffs.

00:33:52.000 And foreign governments that don't comply with repatriation.

00:33:55.000 All of that can be done on the first day.

00:33:57.000 And 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.

00:34:06.000 Walk into the outer room of the U.S. Capitol, right there on the Capitol.

00:34:11.000 Sign the nonviolent pardons for January 6th.

00:34:14.000 Sign these eight or nine executive orders on the border.

00:34:17.000 Get it done.

00:34:18.000 Do not even wait 10 seconds on it.

00:34:20.000 Get it done.

00:34:21.000 And, you know, fulfill the mandate.

00:34:23.000 In addition, we got to get this Russian war fixed. 0.83

00:34:26.000 We got to get it over with.

00:34:28.000 Breaking news.

00:34:29.000 Trump and Zelensky had a phone call on Wednesday.

00:34:31.000 Elon Musk was a special guest, which is good.
