00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:17.000 All right.
00:01:17.000 Welcome, everybody.
00:01:18.000 It's Tuesday, November 10th, 2026.
00:01:21.000 We're live from Phoenix, Arizona at the YRefi Studios here.
00:01:25.000 And precisely one week after a bad day.
00:01:29.000 Not done.
00:01:29.000 Not done.
00:01:29.000 To a historic day in many bad respects.
00:01:33.000 So we're one week removed.
00:01:35.000 How are we doing, Blake?
00:01:36.000 Oh, you know.
00:01:36.000 We're feeling better.
00:01:37.000 We always got a soldier on.
00:01:38.000 Yeah, we're happy warriors around here.
00:01:40.000 Certainly, Charlie was like that.
00:01:42.000 We need to remind everybody that that is the way forward.
00:01:45.000 Happy warriors.
00:01:46.000 There is much to do and much to cover today.
00:01:49.000 By the way, we have an amazing show.
00:01:50.000 We've got Glenn Beck coming on.
00:01:52.000 We're going to talk about that Van Jones clip where the psyop that was run on the American people to, I don't know, convince them over social media that Democrats had any answers on affordability.
00:02:04.000 They don't.
00:02:05.000 Democrats always make everything.
00:02:07.000 So we got.
00:02:07.000 Less affordable.
00:02:08.000 See every blue state.
00:02:09.000 Yeah.
00:02:10.000 Glenn Beck is going to join us for that.
00:02:12.000 Then we've got the comedian Rob Schneider.
00:02:15.000 This Dave Chappelle thing just has so many legs and so many tentacles, too.
00:02:19.000 So we're going to dive into that with Rob Schneider.
00:02:20.000 Then we have Senator Rick Scott joining the show.
00:02:23.000 And we're going to talk about what's going on in the Senate.
00:02:26.000 A lot of Thune drama, Tim Burchett drama, who's going to be running that caucus drama.
00:02:31.000 I mean, there's a lot going on.
00:02:32.000 And we have eight weeks to put our pedal to the metal and make sure things get done and the president's agenda gets passed.
00:02:39.000 And really.
00:02:40.000 The basis agenda, namely no amnesty.
00:02:43.000 Got a lot of judges that need to get approved as well.
00:02:45.000 So lots to get to.
00:02:46.000 But this morning, what is really popping off is the impeachment effort that is being mounted against Pete Hegsett, the Secretary of War.
00:02:55.000 Now, we talked about this briefly last week.
00:02:57.000 Heads need to roll.
00:02:58.000 We understand that.
00:02:59.000 A lot of you felt that nobody's head should roll.
00:03:02.000 But that day, the day we had that show, within, I think, a couple hours, Susie Wiles was out as Chief of Staff.
00:03:07.000 So, you know, I understand there's a lot of people in this audience that didn't want to see that.
00:03:12.000 They felt it was a Show of weakness to the Democrats.
00:03:17.000 I think people were fine seeing Susie Wiles go when they saw Stephen Miller replace Stephen Miller.
00:03:21.000 Yeah, I think people were very distressed.
00:03:22.000 I think it was less of an anti Susie thing and more of a pro Stephen thing.
00:03:26.000 Yeah, but exactly.
00:03:27.000 So I think as long as they're scared, what people are really saying when they say don't fire anyone is they're scared of amnesty.
00:03:36.000 They're scared of the administration giving into the left, accommodating the left.
00:03:40.000 And as long as that is not happening, I think they're okay with personnel changes as long as they feel that the administration is not diverting from its purpose.
00:03:48.000 Right.
00:03:49.000 And I think there's, listen, President Trump floats this potential deal on immigration.
00:03:55.000 There was a big clip, Ross Douthit, 60 Minutes, formerly of the New York Times, talking about maybe we can make a deal on immigration.
00:04:02.000 That happened in the morning.
00:04:04.000 Then later that day, so it was pre recorded, later that day, he appoints Stephen Miller as chief of staff.
00:04:09.000 And I think the base has a lot of faith in Stephen Miller.
00:04:13.000 So that's one side of the aisle.
00:04:15.000 The two names we floated were Susie and Pete Hegseth.
00:04:19.000 And we understood this because a lot of people are talking about Pete Hegseth.
00:04:22.000 Then Thomas Massey goes to the House yesterday and files formally, I believe, eight articles of impeachment.
00:04:29.000 And this has become a whole thing.
00:04:32.000 And I think what you're seeing, I think it's safe to say, is a rallying around the flag effect, especially with conservatives, and a rallying around Pete Hegseth.
00:04:41.000 Okay?
00:04:42.000 Let's get right here. 0.62
00:04:44.000 We'll get some clips on this to get you all up to speed.
00:04:47.000 Sade.
00:04:47.000 What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it's not accountability.
00:04:55.000 It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego.
00:05:00.000 And resentment.
00:05:01.000 Time for one man's final days in Congress to try to do damage to this president, this country, and most irresponsibly, the warriors who defend it.
00:05:13.000 It's a farce and it's a stunt, and everybody knows it.
00:05:18.000 He goes on to say that who you're really hurting is the warriors, and to say that if you execute on the president's orders, you are going to then be punished and impeached.
00:05:27.000 And I think that's probably a valid critique here.
00:05:30.000 President Trump is standing by Secretary Hegsteth Satnay.
00:05:34.000 Yeah, I'll stand by him.
00:05:35.000 So even if he's impeached, you're going to keep the president.
00:05:37.000 You're a defense secretary.
00:05:38.000 We won two wars.
00:05:40.000 He was in charge.
00:05:41.000 We all won.
00:05:42.000 I had great people.
00:05:43.000 You what?
00:05:44.000 Massey says that he's carried out the war. 1.00
00:05:45.000 Massey's a loser. 1.00
00:05:47.000 Just like you're a loser at CNN. 1.00
00:05:50.000 Just like your ratings are a loser. 1.00
00:05:53.000 Massey is a loser. 1.00
00:05:54.000 Stone cold loser. 0.99
00:05:56.000 So, so there, I mean, listen, you know, I understand that there's a lot of love for Thomas Massey in certain quarters of the base. 0.97
00:06:03.000 And there's a lot of anger, too.
00:06:05.000 This is not to me.
00:06:07.000 Even about that, the president is saying, I'm going to stand by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
00:06:13.000 JD Vance has just given his point of view on it.
00:06:17.000 I believe we have that image somewhere, but he's standing by the president or by the Secretary of War.
00:06:22.000 And guess who else is?
00:06:24.000 Interestingly enough, Marco Rubio.
00:06:27.000 Marco Rubio says that Pete Hegseth has been fantastic.
00:06:32.000 I don't know how anyone could argue that drug dealers trying to import poison into our country is not an imminent threat, it's a real and imminent. threat, and it's been addressed.
00:06:32.000 Sot 10.
00:06:40.000 We've discussed Iran extensively and the threat they've posed to the United States, not in the last year, since 1979, a threat that's grown. 0.84
00:06:47.000 In the case of Nicolas Maduro, that was, in many cases, a law enforcement operation because he was a fugitive of American justice who was captured and brought to justice, and, by the way, had the ancillary impact of also opening and paving the path for Venezuela to have a better future.
00:07:02.000 So, as I said, on all those things, not only that he'd execute on a direct order from the commander-in-chief in our Constitution, Is empowered and trusted with the job of keeping Americans safe, but they did it quite effectively on all those fronts.
00:07:18.000 And then we do have Vance's tweet.
00:07:20.000 This came up about 30 minutes ago.
00:07:22.000 He says, Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes?
00:07:25.000 The answer is absurd, and the answer, the question is absurd, and the answer is obviously not.
00:07:30.000 Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking.
00:07:37.000 Congress has so many tools for registering policy disagreements.
00:07:41.000 Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach.
00:07:43.000 Pete Hegsef, they did the same to Donald Trump.
00:07:46.000 Legislation is hard, impeachments are easy, but ultimately inconsequential.
00:07:51.000 And the irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he is most correct repositioning our forces away from Europe and Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
00:08:01.000 This isn't about Iran.
00:08:02.000 This is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.
00:08:06.000 I might disagree with JD Vance there.
00:08:08.000 I think certainly in the case of Massey, he's probably heavily motivated by Iran and I think a lot of others. 0.99
00:08:13.000 But even then, it's important.
00:08:15.000 Even if you disagree with the Iran conflict, which you and I both think it was a mistake to go in, but what they're ultimately, if you lay out the charges here, like they have eight.
00:08:24.000 Charges and some of them are just the fact that he did strikes on Iran at all.
00:08:28.000 They're saying that is now basically a crime for you to have obeyed the president to do strikes on Iran, which the president absolutely has the power to do.
00:08:36.000 They're trying to get him on stuff that's very dangerous.
00:08:39.000 One of the impeachment charges is basically that he hasn't minimized civilian casualties in the exact correct way.
00:08:46.000 And okay, we are a humane country, we should minimize civilian casualties.
00:08:50.000 But once you go down that route, basically America cannot be a military power if any action you take is going to be second guessed.
00:08:57.000 By someone coming in and deciding you didn't dot every I and cross every T correctly, for us to say, like, you waged war in the absolute correct way.
00:09:06.000 You should punish atrocities, but they're doing it in the sense, like, oh, he didn't have the right amount of intel, and so they were reckless and they bombed the wrong thing.
00:09:14.000 Once you do that, we can't have a military.
00:09:16.000 We can't do strikes.
00:09:16.000 Jonathan Turley is reviewing these, a law professor.
00:09:19.000 He says, I'm reviewing the eight articles on the impeachment of Secretary Hegseth.
00:09:23.000 In my view, six of the eight articles should be non starters, including Iranian articles.
00:09:26.000 Presidents, including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, have asserted the authority to commence such operations.
00:09:32.000 So we're waiting on his assessment of the other two, but six of the eight seem like non starters.
00:09:37.000 So it's not just Pete Hegseth that is staring down the lawfare.
00:09:43.000 It's basically everybody.
00:09:45.000 All right.
00:09:47.000 This is this guy, Robert Garcia.
00:09:49.000 He's a congressman.
00:09:52.000 And man, he's just showing all of the worst aspects of the Democrat Party, the far left, really.
00:10:02.000 And they're emboldened. 1.00
00:10:04.000 So, prepare to hear more of this kind of crap. 0.98
00:10:06.000 Here he is telling Dan Abash about his tweet, Lawyer Up, right after Tuesday night, SOP 16. 0.97
00:10:15.000 Why are you going to investigate him?
00:10:17.000 Do you think that he committed a crime?
00:10:18.000 Well, what we think is that Stephen Miller is the architect of this horrific, unjust policy happening across the country in the way that we are treating folks.
00:10:27.000 Look, Stephen Miller called Alex Purdy, as we know, an assassin.
00:10:31.000 The way that he is going around creating immigration policy that separates families.
00:10:35.000 That is causing people harm, that's creating a detention process where a few large companies are profiting.
00:10:41.000 The unconstitutional detention of people, the way that folks are losing their due process rights, that has to be investigated.
00:10:47.000 And so it does deserve oversight and investigation.
00:10:50.000 Oversight and investigation.
00:10:52.000 Do you think anything that he did was criminal?
00:10:55.000 That is, look, what's important is we believe that he's been at the center of actions that are unconstitutional, unjust, and possibly illegal.
00:11:02.000 So we're, of course, going to investigate that.
00:11:04.000 Do you see that?
00:11:07.000 Unjust, he doesn't like it, da all this stuff.
00:11:10.000 And he goes, impossibly illegal, which means he has no idea what the hell he's talking about.
00:11:15.000 Show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
00:11:17.000 This is a fishing expedition that they're about to embark on for all members of the Trump administration because they don't like certain things.
00:11:23.000 They don't like policies.
00:11:24.000 And then they go right at the end, impossibly illegal.
00:11:26.000 Which I will say, I'm getting, maybe this is a silly reason to be optimistic, but I think if we're worried about Democrats, this is half baked.
00:11:33.000 One of the best, it's half baked, and also just if you want them to waste their time, and this is why we didn't necessarily like.
00:11:39.000 Efforts to impeach Biden, for example, is if you're just going to go and be holding votes, and are they going to remove them from office?
00:11:46.000 No, but they'll waste a lot of time on it.
00:11:48.000 They'll grandstand in hearings.
00:11:49.000 And what are they not doing if they're doing impeachments?
00:11:51.000 They're not passing immigration crackdowns.
00:11:54.000 Yeah, or not passing, yeah, amnesties.
00:11:56.000 Save America Act.
00:11:57.000 Yeah.
00:11:58.000 So here, I just want you to get a better feel for this Robert Garcia guy.
00:12:02.000 I mean, just how awful these people are.
00:12:05.000 Stop 14.
00:12:06.000 We can't forget about these folks that are causing harm. 0.68
00:12:09.000 Like, you know, I think it's like, I mean, maybe it's because I'm gay, but like, you know, like pettiness is a thing. 0.68
00:12:18.000 Like, I'm mad.
00:12:24.000 He said it, not me. 1.00
00:12:26.000 So he is justifying his own pettiness because he's a gay man. 0.99
00:12:29.000 Yeah. 0.92
00:12:30.000 And pettiness does appeal to people in politics.
00:12:33.000 There's a lot of things the right has wanted that you could say have been a little petty.
00:12:33.000 I mean, let's be frank.
00:12:36.000 A little petty.
00:12:37.000 I will be frank.
00:12:38.000 I think stuff that hurt us in these midterms was downstream of that.
00:12:43.000 Yeah.
00:12:43.000 I agree.
00:12:43.000 If you just kept eye on the ball on those big issues that won you in 2024, we'd be in a better position.
00:12:50.000 And listen, I understand everybody wants to talk about 2028, everybody wants the horse race.
00:12:50.000 Yeah.
00:12:56.000 The Palace intrigue, JD, Marco, DeSantis, Youngkin, Ted Cruz, I guess, is thrown in that mix as well.
00:13:05.000 I will just have to say that one of the things that I'm contemplating, one of the things that I'm mulling over in my thought process as we move into 2028 is that there has to be certain changes.
00:13:18.000 There has to be, I think, a change of aesthetics in some ways, the way that this pettiness angle, when you see it on somebody like Congressman Garcia, And I use Congressman very lightly there.
00:13:29.000 It's doing a whole lot of heavy work.
00:13:30.000 With a great deal of pain, like passing a kidney stone.
00:13:34.000 When you see that pettiness, it doesn't come off well at all.
00:13:38.000 I don't like that man.
00:13:40.000 Yeah, he gets cheers from this very insular, far left.
00:13:45.000 By the way, Jennifer Welch spoke at that same event.
00:13:49.000 So, yeah, there's a certain contingent for that, sure, that shares that.
00:13:53.000 But I don't think the American people do.
00:13:55.000 I don't think independents do.
00:13:56.000 I don't think moderates on either side see that and go, I like that.
00:14:00.000 The state of my politics in America.
00:14:03.000 And we have to also internalize that message.
00:14:07.000 And the reason I bring out the horse race is because I have to give high marks.
00:14:11.000 I know I don't want to get like a billion emails on this, but something that DeSantis said that I think is actually resonating is when he talked about getting back to statesmanship, getting back to this being above reproach.
00:14:28.000 And, you know, you see all these stories about corruption and.
00:14:32.000 Insider dealing and it grosses people out.
00:14:36.000 And whatever this movement becomes next, and I think our ideas are very good, our ideas are still winning ideas, and we need to make sure that we don't jettison them for amnesty.
00:14:49.000 But whatever it becomes from a messaging standpoint, from an aesthetic standpoint, has to embrace the fact that our side genuinely are the good guys, and we need to live like that.
00:15:01.000 We need to choose people that.
00:15:04.000 Are actually, you know, they have integrity and they don't insider deal and they don't take advantage of this petty politics.
00:15:12.000 We have to rise above.
00:15:14.000 And I think there is a deep appetite.
00:15:16.000 One of the things that I've realized from this election is the depth of that appetite for true statesmanship.
00:15:23.000 We want to be the city on a hill, the shining city on a hill.
00:15:26.000 We want to believe that America has integrity and goodness and that our people are good.
00:15:32.000 And the only way to do that is to be good.
00:15:35.000 To pick people that are good and to rise above some of this crap because Rep Garcia represents the absolute worst of our politics. 0.82
00:15:43.000 He doesn't even know if anything's illegal, he just wants to be petty. 0.88
00:15:47.000 And I think that's a huge turnoff.
00:15:48.000 And if that's what the Democrats have, good luck.
00:15:52.000 These next two years are not going to impress anybody.
00:15:54.000 And they don't have ideas.
00:15:57.000 If politics in the US just becomes four year cycles of getting revenge for the previous four years, there are countries that get stuck in cycles like that.
00:16:05.000 Like we looked at Brazil, Brazil's become a lot like that just very nasty.
00:16:11.000 We get a turn, you get a turn.
00:16:13.000 And it makes the elections, it encourages all those things we're worried about, like election fraud.
00:16:17.000 So, was there suspicious stuff in Brazil?
00:16:19.000 Well, they had every incentive to do it because everyone believes I'm going to prison for life if I lose this contest.
00:16:25.000 It's a breakdown of what makes our system work.
00:16:28.000 Now, that doesn't mean I don't want to see Anthony Fauci held accountable.
00:16:31.000 That doesn't mean that there aren't certain things where, yeah, we really do need to hold people accountable so they don't do it again.
00:16:38.000 I mean, it's as simple as that.
00:16:40.000 But this pettiness is gross and it's a massive turnoff.
00:16:45.000 I think it's a massive turnoff for independence.
00:16:47.000 So, please keep.
00:16:48.000 Yammering about, Representative Garcia. 1.00
00:16:51.000 Keep talking crap. 1.00
00:16:53.000 Keep embracing people like Jennifer Welch who glorify political assassination. 1.00
00:16:59.000 I don't believe that the American people are with you.
00:17:02.000 I don't believe that's where we are as a nation.
00:17:04.000 I believe there's a certain contingent.
00:17:06.000 Yeah.
00:17:06.000 And it's a big contingent.
00:17:08.000 And it terrifies me, actually, that the contingent is that big.
00:17:11.000 But I don't think it's enough to win elections.
00:17:13.000 I don't think it's enough to win the White House in 2028.
00:17:19.000 Above that, we have to present something different to the American people.
00:17:23.000 I'm telling you, my appetite is like 10 out of 10 for silent operators that are competent, that have integrity, and that manage things well and that have the right ideas because our ideas are still the right ideas.

00:18:37.000 A couple days ago, CNN's Van Jones basically said the quiet part out loud.
00:18:47.000 Because it was something I was thinking about the whole time.
00:18:49.000 I was like, gas prices are high, but Joe Biden had even higher gas prices.
00:18:55.000 But Obama had even higher gas prices.
00:18:59.000 And there was a huge, huge push on the affordability message.
00:19:04.000 It just, there's something that wasn't right about it.
00:19:06.000 And we could all figure it out because it doesn't make any sense.
00:19:09.000 But it's vibes.
00:19:10.000 It's vibes, right?
00:19:12.000 Oh, it's Republicans' fault for affordability.
00:19:15.000 And candidly, they had a good hook, Iran, that was like something you could point to directly contributing to gas prices.
00:19:24.000 And they, boy, oh boy, they worked it.
00:19:27.000 Here's Van Jones telling you about the American Accountability Network and taking the veil away, pulling the curtain back on what they were really up to.
00:19:36.000 Sop for.
00:19:37.000 How did we win the narrative on affordability? 0.93
00:19:40.000 With just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going to. 0.84
00:19:44.000 No.
00:19:45.000 The Republicans never figured out what we were doing.
00:19:47.000 There's something called the American Accountability Network.
00:19:50.000 Tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online.
00:19:59.000 32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day.
00:20:05.000 88.8 million hit on Twitter every single day.
00:20:12.000 And 185 million Facebook.
00:20:15.000 Hits every single day.
00:20:16.000 They were saying you need to elect Democrats to deal with this.
00:20:19.000 Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative.
00:20:26.000 They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around all that.
00:20:33.000 Joining us now is the great Glenn Beck.
00:20:36.000 He's the founder of the Blaze Torch.
00:20:38.000 He's a great philanthropist.
00:20:40.000 People don't really realize how great of a philanthropist you are, Glenn Beck.
00:20:44.000 Digital disruptor, truth teller, narrator of meaning.
00:20:48.000 It's good to see my friend.
00:20:50.000 I saw you reacting to this.
00:20:52.000 I saw you reacting to this Van Jones clip.
00:20:55.000 Break it down for us.
00:20:57.000 Well, first of all, let's just say this he's on CNN as a commentator.
00:21:00.000 So now he is put into question everything he's ever said as a commentator.
00:21:09.000 Were you commentating on this?
00:21:11.000 Because you had information about affordability.
00:21:15.000 Did you ever bring to the table affordability?
00:21:18.000 Because if you did, that's now we know all propaganda.
00:21:22.000 Because you and the Democrats were working hard to convince people that their reality was not reality, that what's really happening in the economy.
00:21:36.000 Listen to this Friday, National Alliance to End Homelessness estimated America's homeless population fell 6.7%, second straight year of decline.
00:21:46.000 New York Times reported that.
00:21:48.000 Same morning, Jobs report 165,000 new jobs, more than doubled what economists expected.
00:21:54.000 Unemployment down to 4.1 in September.
00:21:57.000 Census Bureau put the official poverty rate at 10.2%, lowest since they started counting in 1959.
00:22:05.000 Wow. 0.67
00:22:06.000 Medium household income, record high.
00:22:09.000 Gas has been falling for two weeks now.
00:22:11.000 Day after the election, oil dropped nearly 9% in a single day.
00:22:15.000 So that's the truth.
00:22:18.000 Those are the stats.
00:22:20.000 That's the truth.
00:22:21.000 And I know people's perception is the reality, but how much of that?
00:22:25.000 Perception was now, do we now know, was coordinated as a lie?
00:22:33.000 So people were making decisions on I want my life to get better.
00:22:37.000 I want the economy to get better.
00:22:39.000 I want my pay to get better.
00:22:40.000 I want my job to get better.
00:22:42.000 I want all these things to get better.
00:22:43.000 And nothing's happening.
00:22:46.000 Well, yes, it was.
00:22:48.000 All kinds of things were happening, all good things, record level good things.
00:22:53.000 And Van Jones just announces that we conned the American people.
00:23:01.000 Wow. 0.86
00:23:02.000 I mean, that to me, that is that's disgusting. 0.86
00:23:06.000 It's disgusting.
00:23:07.000 I don't mind winning or losing on facts. 0.62
00:23:09.000 I don't mind having the argument.
00:23:11.000 You could have the argument of, you know, you know, and we did, we had the argument on the air.
00:23:17.000 Accountability is something people are feeling mainly at the gas pump, but it's not as bad as everybody says it is.
00:23:24.000 Well, no, no, no.
00:23:26.000 It is if it's constantly being reinforced through propaganda.
00:23:32.000 And lies.
00:23:33.000 I mean, it's practically at this point mind control.
00:23:38.000 These are the people that gave us nudge.
00:23:43.000 This is the worst kind of propaganda that is taking real people who want their lives to get better and filling their head with lies, lies to get them to vote against their own interests.
00:23:59.000 Yes.
00:24:00.000 Well, you know who's been speaking out about this as well is Victor Davis Hansen.
00:24:04.000 He's talking about how good the economy actually is and is going to get supercharged probably in the next two years if Democrats don't succeed in.
00:24:13.000 Screwing it up, frankly, and our own side.
00:24:16.000 We could screw it up too.
00:24:17.000 But right now, the table is set, Glenn, for this incredible economic boon over the next two years.
00:24:23.000 I know.
00:24:23.000 What's fascinating to me, though, and this is an open question, were the oil markets getting manipulated?
00:24:31.000 I think this is something we should ask because.
00:24:33.000 No.
00:24:34.000 Go ahead.
00:24:37.000 I was going to build up both sides of that, but yes, absolutely.
00:24:40.000 Go ahead.
00:24:40.000 No, go ahead.
00:24:41.000 Go ahead.
00:24:41.000 Go build up both sides.
00:24:42.000 I mean, listen, on some level, it makes sense, right?
00:24:44.000 The Republicans lose.
00:24:46.000 The feeling is that the Iran war has lost popular support, so they assume that Iran's going to come to an end.
00:24:52.000 So the markets drop. 0.98
00:24:54.000 That makes sense to me.
00:24:56.000 But we kept hearing that the shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz were coming, right?
00:25:00.000 They just had to make their way around the world, dock at the port, get shipped to a refinery.
00:25:05.000 That was going to take some time to start seeing that downward pressure on gas prices.
00:25:10.000 So I was waiting for the price to drop, and the day after the election, they dropped.
00:25:15.000 I mean, I see it all over Phoenix right now.
00:25:18.000 I will tell you the day after the election, oil dropped 9%, but the gas price has dropped for the last 10 days.
00:25:28.000 So that's it's only been seven days since the election.
00:25:31.000 So it was already dropping.
00:25:32.000 And this is exactly what Donald Trump said would happen.
00:25:36.000 And it comes from several different things.
00:25:39.000 And it's not because of the Democratic election.
00:25:42.000 It's not. 0.99
00:25:43.000 I mean, look at what Iran did. 0.98
00:25:46.000 You want to say, oh, well, things are more secure. 0.99
00:25:48.000 Did you hear what France came out and said today about the freezers?
00:25:53.000 No.
00:25:54.000 So there was somebody that hacked in, and it was like a billion and a half dollars worth of meat and food had to be destroyed because somebody hacked into the freezers in all of the supermarkets and put them in defrost as soon as the store closed.
00:26:11.000 So they woke up.
00:26:12.000 Some of these refrigerators and freezers were at 170 degrees.
00:26:17.000 And so it was all spoiled.
00:26:19.000 All that food was spoiled.
00:26:21.000 A billion and a half dollars overnight had to be thrown out.
00:26:26.000 France just came out today and said that was a hack by Iran.
00:26:32.000 Now, wait a minute. 1.00
00:26:35.000 So, wait, things are getting better with Iran? 1.00
00:26:37.000 They're now hacking food in Europe. 0.97
00:26:42.000 They're now trying to expand the war.
00:26:47.000 Well, where was.
00:26:49.000 And where was France when we said, hey, this could happen to you?
00:26:49.000 Right.
00:26:54.000 This could be really bad. 0.99
00:26:55.000 I mean, France was.
00:26:57.000 France did everything they could to say we're not on America's side.
00:27:00.000 And look at what they're still paying the price.
00:27:02.000 From the start, that's been, I think, the strongest argument in favor of pursuing this war Iran has had a school shooter level approach to this conflict in terms of we struck them, and so they lobbed missiles at the UAE, at Saudi Arabia, at countries not even having U.S. forces in them, like Jordan. 0.75
00:27:20.000 And then now they're roping in France. 0.83
00:27:20.000 Correct. 0.83
00:27:22.000 They will suck everyone in.
00:27:24.000 And that's kind of the strongest argument that this is not.
00:27:28.000 A nation we can reasonably negotiate with.
00:27:30.000 No, it's not.
00:27:31.000 It's not.
00:27:32.000 And the gas prices were going to come down.
00:27:35.000 I mean, this summer I was over in Europe and the Middle East, and I met with three different prime ministers.
00:27:43.000 And all of them talked about the war, talked about the price of oil, what Trump was building.
00:27:53.000 You know, not all of them were happy about how he was basically saying that the Western hemisphere is going to be the center of the world, but they understood what he was doing.
00:28:03.000 And when we talked about the war, all of them said, It's about to end because he's crushing them.
00:28:09.000 And if he sticks to the economic sanctions, he's crushing them.
00:28:15.000 And you will see that fall apart, but it won't be until after the election.
00:28:19.000 So everybody knew what was going on.
00:28:22.000 Everybody was new.
00:28:23.000 But again, it was a coordinated effort to convince people that that's not true because they're so craven for power.
00:28:32.000 Yeah, I think that where we started this, Glenn, is this propaganda network that Van Jones just admitted to.
00:28:40.000 And they can't help themselves.
00:28:41.000 They want the glory.
00:28:43.000 They want the.
00:28:44.000 He said it with glee.
00:28:46.000 Yeah.
00:28:47.000 He wants to be patted on the back for the fact that he has been a propagandist on that network, lying to people for months and completely complicit, engaged, involved, behind the scenes. 0.98
00:29:02.000 Big psycho. 0.99
00:29:04.000 Big psycho. 0.98
00:29:05.000 I have to tell you, if I were somebody who voted either for a Republican or Democrat, but this time I voted for them because of the affordability, And I found that out, I would be pissed off. 0.99
00:29:17.000 You lied to me.
00:29:19.000 You manipulated me.
00:29:21.000 They're in on it.
00:29:22.000 They just want power.
00:29:23.000 Yeah, I know they are.
00:29:23.000 They hate Trump that much.
00:29:25.000 Glenn, I got to go through something with you.
00:29:27.000 I know you've seen this Jennifer Welch saga.
00:29:31.000 She's trying to blame me and Turning Point for this advertiser boycott or whatever. 1.00
00:29:37.000 She's lost like 25 sponsors because she was very venomous and very ghoulish. 1.00
00:29:41.000 And I think people had just had enough.
00:29:44.000 And so, I could let you respond to that, but it's happening.
00:29:49.000 I did not coordinate it, I did not organize it.
00:29:51.000 I just posted about when companies were leaving, but she's coming after us. 0.66
00:29:55.000 Anyway, so she's now trying to get people to donate to her, buy her book.
00:30:01.000 And this is a funny one, but birds of a feather, and I'll explain what I mean. 0.95
00:30:06.000 Sod 11. 0.95
00:30:07.000 And there's one thing I want to pull up regarding our mass cancellation from Turning Point.
00:30:12.000 Yes, the mass cancellation.
00:30:14.000 They've harassed our advertisers.
00:30:17.000 Yes.
00:30:18.000 And sadly, some of the advertisers have caved, but we still have other advertisers and we're still stand ins.
00:30:26.000 So the Minokwa Brewing Company tagged us on a post on Instagram and Facebook and they said, Hey, I've had it podcast.
00:30:35.000 These are their words.
00:30:36.000 Charlie Kirk was an awful human being.
00:30:38.000 And everybody who's not in a cult or a paid influencer on the right realizes that. 1.00
00:30:42.000 We're sorry you've lost a few sponsors because you laughed at a joke about the racist jerk. 0.96
00:30:46.000 We probably don't have as much money as the sponsors you lost, but we would love to step in. 0.95
00:30:51.000 And partner with you if you'll have us.
00:30:54.000 How sweet is that?
00:30:55.000 This is not sweet.
00:30:58.000 Well, Glenn, 146, throw this up.
00:31:01.000 Minokwa, you might have somewhere in the back of your mind, but I've heard of this company before.
00:31:07.000 Turns out this is the same brewing company, Minokwa Brewing Company, that hands out free beer should, God forbid, President Trump be assassinated.
00:31:17.000 Said, well, we almost got free beer day.
00:31:19.000 And I think this was after the White House correspondence dinner.
00:31:25.000 Either a brother or sister in the resistance needs to work on their marksmanship, or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle.
00:31:32.000 We'll never know.
00:31:33.000 Regardless, we stand ready at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.
00:31:37.000 Glenn, the moral decay is almost too much to make sense of.
00:31:42.000 It's like we don't recognize the country we live in.
00:31:44.000 What's your reaction when you see this whole story unfolding?
00:31:47.000 Well, first of all, let me bring it back to Van Jones.
00:31:49.000 You know who led?
00:31:50.000 I had five boycotts led by the White House under Obama, one of them led by Color of Change and Van Jones himself to boycott me.
00:32:03.000 And It never affected us.
00:32:05.000 It never affected us.
00:32:06.000 It was hard to get through, but it didn't change our course one iota.
00:32:11.000 These guys and their free beer sponsor for, you know, ghouls, you know, God bless them.
00:32:16.000 But don't lecture me about how hard it is to stand up against a boycott.
00:32:22.000 Those were organized.
00:32:24.000 And if you don't know about them, read Cheryl Atkinson's book.
00:32:28.000 She outlined the whole thing that she says in the first chapter started with me, they perfected it on me.
00:32:35.000 And then it's just spread all through the right.
00:32:38.000 And they've been boycotting us and trying to intimidate people forever.
00:32:41.000 That's what they do.
00:32:43.000 There's a difference between an organized boycott and somebody saying, I think this is reprehensible.
00:32:49.000 I won't do business with that company.
00:32:51.000 And then everybody making their own choice.
00:32:53.000 That's called freedom in America.
00:32:56.000 There are consequences to things like this.
00:32:59.000 But I think, honestly, that the ghoulishness is, you know, Charlemagne the God, who I don't agree with on anything, just came out, I think, yesterday.
00:33:10.000 And said about Dave Chappelle that Dave crossed a line.
00:33:20.000 That's a big deal.
00:33:21.000 That's a big deal.
00:33:23.000 You don't have to lead a boycott against these people who are saying horrendous things.
00:33:30.000 What?
00:33:31.000 It happened all on its own.
00:33:32.000 I didn't know.
00:33:33.000 I wasn't even my idea.
00:33:34.000 It just started happening because so many people were so relieved.
00:33:38.000 But you know why they're doing that to you?
00:33:41.000 Because they're using you, Charlie Kirk, and TPSA to raise money.
00:33:47.000 That's all that this thing is.
00:33:48.000 It is, it is, it's only to raise money.
00:33:53.000 That's what they do on the left.
00:33:55.000 There's no, there's nothing real there.
00:33:57.000 No, you know, Daily Mail came out with an article reporting that they have lost $8 million in sponsorship after laughing at the joke, which was not funny at all, of exhuming Charlie's body and doing it again.
00:34:12.000 And they laughed for like, Half a minute.
00:34:14.000 It's just straight up.
00:34:16.000 They are happy Charlie got murdered.
00:34:18.000 They love the idea that someone would do it and that someone might get away with doing that.
00:34:22.000 They are the sort of people who would cackle with laughter if Tyler Robinson got acquitted for what he did.
00:34:26.000 Yeah.
00:34:27.000 And of course they're celebrating.
00:34:29.000 Minokwa, I mean, yeah, okay.
00:34:31.000 They were celebrating.
00:34:32.000 They were going to give out free beers if Donald Trump had been shot.
00:34:35.000 They also celebrated Charlie being shot.
00:34:37.000 And they took the opportunity not merely to do it after he died, but one year later to come out and say, by the way, we stand by everything we said.
00:34:45.000 Charlie was terrible and got what was coming to him.
00:34:47.000 So.
00:34:48.000 Of course, we'll get that company as a sponsor.
00:34:50.000 This is not just about Charlie, though.
00:34:52.000 This is a culture of death.
00:34:53.000 These are the same people who said, Shout your abortion, celebrate the death of a child.
00:35:01.000 These are the same people who have been saying this kind of stuff and celebrating death every step of the way.
00:35:09.000 It's the same mentality that leads Canada to have the fifth largest killer be doctors in Canada.
00:35:17.000 And we choose life.
00:35:19.000 And the good news is, I think, on this is.
00:35:23.000 I think it's coming undone.
00:35:24.000 They're going to become more and more vicious.
00:35:26.000 They are, because that's who they are.
00:35:30.000 You know, I said back in 2009 or 10, I said, these guys cannot wait to tell you who they are.
00:35:36.000 They're all wearing a mask, but they're Marxist, Leninist, death cultists.
00:35:41.000 And that's who they really are.
00:35:44.000 And they can't wait to tell you.
00:35:46.000 And someday they're going to pull the mask off.
00:35:49.000 Well, they've pulled the mask off.
00:35:51.000 And America is not scared yet.
00:35:53.000 It's crazy, but America is not afraid of them yet.
00:35:57.000 You know, may I quote Yoda?
00:35:59.000 You will be.
00:36:01.000 You will be.
00:36:03.000 Because that's who they really are.
00:36:05.000 And we just can't become them.
00:36:07.000 We can't become them.
00:36:08.000 We have to rise.
00:36:09.000 We have to find our own civic virtue again, candidly.
00:36:12.000 I think there's a hunger for it.
00:36:15.000 And we need to be better. 0.73
00:36:17.000 But whatever this is, whatever they're selling, should terrify the crap out of Americans.
00:36:21.000 And I think you're right.
00:36:23.000 They will be.
00:36:24.000 Glenn Beck, thank you, my friend.
00:36:25.000 Great to see you.
00:36:26.000 Thank you.
00:36:26.000 Thanks, guys.
00:36:27.000 Good to talk to you.
00:36:28.000 Bye.
00:36:30.000 An important message from Noble Gold Investments.
00:36:33.000 November 3rd, control of Congress is on the line.
00:36:36.000 And whatever happens, your savings are going to feel it.
00:36:39.000 If Democrats take power, we could be looking at years of gridlock, followed by the same policies that fueled inflation before more spending, bigger deficits, and a weaker dollar.
00:36:47.000 We lived through this already.
00:36:49.000 In June 2022, inflation was out of control and unchecked.
00:36:52.000 Now, the national debt is over $40 trillion and Washington isn't slowing down.
00:36:57.000 What has gold done since 2022?
00:37:00.000 Doubled.
00:37:01.000 Up over one hundred percent.
00:37:03.000 That's right.
00:37:03.000 You can't control what happens on election day.
00:37:05.000 You can control how prepared you are.
00:37:07.000 That's why so many Americans are turning to physical gold and silver.

00:37:30.000 We are joined by a comedic great.
00:37:34.000 And a friend of the show, friend of Charlie's, and that's Rob Schneider.
00:37:38.000 Rob, welcome back to the show.
00:37:40.000 I addressed this whole Dave Chappelle thing yesterday, but my whole timeline is still filled with people's reactions to this, including yours.
00:37:49.000 You wrote a letter to Dave Chappelle, essentially on X. You said, Dear Dave Chappelle, you are not the same human being you once were.
00:37:58.000 And you were very respectful, but you had some pointed things to say.
00:38:03.000 And I couldn't think of anybody better than yourself.
00:38:05.000 To chime in on this and get your reaction.
00:38:09.000 The state of comedy, Rob, where's it at?
00:38:12.000 Well, the thing about it, there wasn't a joke there.
00:38:15.000 I mean, this also, you know, people were comparing because he said the same thing that Tony Hinchcliffe said at a roast.
00:38:23.000 I think a roast is, you know, a little bit different.
00:38:27.000 I mean, I don't see, like, you know, the commentator, what's his face, thy god or that guy.
00:38:36.000 Charlemagne the god.
00:38:36.000 You know, yeah.
00:38:37.000 Charlemagne, it's just the.
00:38:40.000 I think I just agree.
00:38:41.000 I mean, there's, it's an ugliness to it.
00:38:43.000 There was no joke.
00:38:44.000 The idea of being happy that anyone has, you know, has been violently murdered, you know, on live, on TV, it's just, you know, on the net, on social media, it's despicable.
00:38:58.000 And I, you know, so I just don't think, you know, for people like who knew him, you know, we knew him.
00:39:07.000 And if you had spent time watching his, You know, his brilliance.
00:39:10.000 I mean, all you have to do is go online and you'll see it.
00:39:13.000 Go on Instagram, it'll come up.
00:39:15.000 Charlie was a man of words.
00:39:18.000 He was a man of kindness.
00:39:19.000 Is a man of deeds trying to bring people, literally souls, to Christ and trying to protect, like what he knew was a unique form of leadership, unique to the world.
00:39:30.000 And that it was that this American country has a history that is worth praising.
00:39:37.000 And it is a system of government that, unlike any before it, this was one that said that human beings had inalienable rights.
00:39:46.000 In other words, our rights weren't given by the state or by some powerful men or a king.
00:39:52.000 They're given by God, and that is an unquestionable right.
00:39:56.000 And so I think for a lot of people who didn't, I mean, who just don't know him, can think whatever they want.
00:40:02.000 But like, I guarantee you, you know, that Chappelle has never seen any of the videos, has never heard of anything.
00:40:10.000 I thought the same.
00:40:11.000 Yeah.
00:40:12.000 You know, because he wouldn't have been so crass.
00:40:17.000 And it's just like, you know, to me, is there nothing sacred anymore?
00:40:20.000 I mean, we have like, you know, literally 10% of a certain generation.
00:40:24.000 Of women that are on OnlyFans. 0.89
00:40:26.000 I mean, is everything for sale?
00:40:28.000 Is there nothing that we can't?
00:40:28.000 Is nothing?
00:40:30.000 And I'm up for jokes about anything.
00:40:32.000 And interesting, Andrew, when you called me yesterday, you said something which is very thoughtful and caring.
00:40:38.000 And that's something people, us conservatives, think about.
00:40:42.000 We don't want to squelch anybody's free speech.
00:40:45.000 And that's the first thing you said yesterday to me.
00:40:47.000 And let's talk about that.
00:40:49.000 I mean, I think there's a difference between free speech and violent rhetoric.
00:40:53.000 And I think celebrating somebody's death, I mean, unfortunately, Just like Charlie's murderer, Tyler Robinson, he was, you know, motivated to do something, and I don't think he ever saw his stuff either.
00:41:08.000 If he did, it was certainly taken out of context, and it riled up to the point where somebody would commit this murder.
00:41:14.000 And I just think, like, to me, it's, you know, Charlie was a special dude.
00:41:21.000 I mean, he really helped, you know, save this country, I mean, and turn the country around from an open borders craziness where, you know, society was, you know, You can't go against godlessness without God.
00:41:36.000 We're going to have to have somebody in our corner and to do something higher than ourselves.
00:41:41.000 And Charlie stood for that and he understood that.
00:41:43.000 And he had a grace about him and he really was filled with the Spirit of Christ.
00:41:48.000 And that was palpable.
00:41:50.000 And I think why he was so hated was because, from people who don't know him, was because of that spirit that he had and the power that he, when he spoke, he spoke with.
00:42:00.000 Yes?
00:42:01.000 Well, as you said, you don't.
00:42:01.000 Yeah.
00:42:03.000 You know, you said Dave used to not be like this.
00:42:05.000 You said you don't think he watched those videos.
00:42:08.000 But also, there's not really, as you said, there's not really a joke in what he was saying.
00:42:13.000 And so it doesn't seem like this was a miscalculated bid to get laughs.
00:42:18.000 It just seems like an expression of his feelings.
00:42:22.000 And where do you think that was coming from?
00:42:24.000 And I noticed it was tentative, you know, Andrew, there was a tentative reaction.
00:42:28.000 It wasn't like, you know, they cheered right away.
00:42:31.000 It was like even they, even the liberals in that audience were all, you know, Slow to kind of respond because it wasn't ugliness.
00:42:39.000 I felt it.
00:42:40.000 As someone who performs all the time, you can feel when an audience just isn't into it, whether they, then the few ghouls who go along with it.
00:42:49.000 I think like Dr. Martin Luther King died for sanitation workers.
00:42:54.000 I mean, he died so that they could have a decent living wage in Memphis.
00:42:58.000 He was there to talk to the mayor to see if they can get a decent living wage, a living wage.
00:43:05.000 So that they could take care of their families because they were below a poverty line where they couldn't.
00:43:12.000 And this is something a union, and he was there to fight for that and did, and gave his life for that.
00:43:18.000 Charlie gave his life for this country so that we could have conversations, so that our children could be, you know, in university, could have some critical thinking and fight back against what really is a liberal crap storm of a war on reality and a war on this culture.
00:43:36.000 And I mean, the idea that, you know, we have our freedoms, but these freedoms that we have can be democratically undermined by people who don't come in here with a good spirit. 0.71
00:43:46.000 And that's what he was worried about with Islam.
00:43:49.000 That's what he's worried about with the combination. 0.85
00:43:52.000 Of Islam and the left was that, you know, because as John Adams said very famously, you know, this, our form of government is made for a virtuous and religious people and is wholly inadequate for that of any other. 0.96
00:44:04.000 So that's the reality. 0.84
00:44:08.000 So, I mean, I think that Dave is, you know, I just think he has a blind spot in this particular place.
00:44:18.000 And I don't know how baked he was on stage or what.
00:44:21.000 I'm sure he was.
00:44:24.000 I'm sure he was baked.
00:44:25.000 You know what's interesting?
00:44:27.000 I went back and looked, Rob, because the question is we don't want to react to this in the wrong way. 0.60
00:44:33.000 I think the left has done themselves a massive disservice for the last decade plus of just being hall monitors, being Karens, speech police.
00:44:40.000 And we actually benefited by being like, hey, you can go say whatever you want.
00:44:43.000 Go talk about trans.
00:44:44.000 Go talk about whatever the issue is. 0.55
00:44:46.000 That's why, as Bridget was saying yesterday, that we got all of those horror podcast people on our side for at least one cycle.
00:44:54.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:44:55.000 I mean, the interesting thing is, I look back, though, Rob, and I. Went back to 1981 to see what the reaction was after Reagan was the attempted assassination against Reagan.
00:45:05.000 I tried to find out was there any ghoulish joking?
00:45:07.000 Was there any gratuitous joking about that?
00:45:10.000 And I found one. 0.93
00:45:12.000 And a comic named Elaine Boozler. 0.99
00:45:15.000 She told a joke that a predominantly black jury would let Hinckley go and tell him to get it right next time. 0.53
00:45:22.000 The piece notes. 1.00
00:45:23.000 Wow.
00:45:24.000 There was one, though.
00:45:24.000 The piece notes.
00:45:25.000 That was it.
00:45:26.000 And the piece note that the joke bombed.
00:45:29.000 Nobody laughed.
00:45:30.000 And this was at an improv in Los Angeles.
00:45:33.000 So, the question, I mean, every stand up routine is an exercise in cancellation.
00:45:40.000 If you tell bad jokes, they will boo you, they will hiss, they will throw tomatoes at you, and if it's good, they will laugh.
00:45:47.000 And ultimately, that has to be the line.
00:45:49.000 Like, I want to live in a culture that doesn't laugh at that.
00:45:53.000 And I want to live in a culture that thinks it's so awful that the comedians stop telling those types of jokes because they know it's going to be.
00:46:00.000 I will tell you that go back and listen to that reaction from the Madison Square Garden.
00:46:07.000 Gave New York City, gave to that statement that I feel better.
00:46:12.000 I will play it on the other side of the band.
00:46:12.000 Yeah, interesting.
00:46:14.000 And I will tell you, it was not a roar of approval.
00:46:17.000 It was the ghouls.
00:46:19.000 And I will tell you that it was an ugly statement that I think was beneath him.
00:46:24.000 And we're all able to, we all can make mistakes and we all can do things.
00:46:27.000 It just seems to me like Charlie was, I mean, the violent murder of someone who was a son, a husband, a father, and a young man, there's no, in any way or shape or form.
00:46:40.000 I mean, remember how.
00:46:42.000 You know, for George Floyd.
00:46:43.000 You know, yeah.
00:46:44.000 Yeah, George Floyd, he was, you know, rightfully, you know, upset.
00:46:49.000 I don't think this is another, you know, violent death that was unnecessary.
00:46:53.000 And how come we can't, we have to have some sacredness to it?
00:46:57.000 There's got to be something sacred anymore.
00:46:59.000 I think it was one of the most powerful things you've said, Rob.
00:47:01.000 There's nothing sacred anymore.
00:47:03.000 Rob, here's the clip that we're talking about.
00:47:06.000 And we're going to listen for the cheer.
00:47:09.000 23.
00:47:10.000 And I mean, look, ever since that guy.
00:47:14.000 Charlie Kirk got murdered.
00:47:18.000 And I shouldn't say this publicly, but I feel better.
00:47:29.000 I know I shouldn't say that, but it's just a feeling.
00:47:33.000 You heard that, right?
00:47:34.000 Yeah, I heard it.
00:47:36.000 The reaction was muted and kind of a shock.
00:47:40.000 And I don't think it got the response, it wasn't a roar of approval.
00:47:45.000 I do think the first people that yelled out, I think.
00:47:48.000 I think for that audience, it's beyond the pale.
00:47:50.000 Otherwise, you didn't hear a roar of approval like you would have had some anti Trump joke back in 2016, which was every comedian's easiest place to go.
00:48:03.000 I mean, to talk about having no courage, go after Trump in 2016, 17, and 18.
00:48:07.000 You just needed to say his name, and then the liberal audience would lose their minds.
00:48:12.000 How did you feel about that?
00:48:14.000 It actually, on second listening, it was more subtle, it was more muted.
00:48:14.000 I agree with you.
00:48:19.000 I think those are fair words.
00:48:21.000 A woman was saying something.
00:48:22.000 I couldn't tell what she was quite saying.
00:48:24.000 It's like, that's a human being or something?
00:48:25.000 Yeah, actually.
00:48:27.000 But she kind of giggled, too, right?
00:48:29.000 It's hard to dig.
00:48:30.000 There's another line here, though, that we found out, too.
00:48:33.000 And this is the Tony Hinchcliffe thing.
00:48:34.000 And Rob, you could fill us in on kind of like the protocols within stand up circles.
00:48:40.000 I'm told it's like, you know, really against the rules to steal somebody's line.
00:48:44.000 I don't know that that's the main point here.
00:48:46.000 No, but let's listen to it real quick, Rob, and then we'll get your reaction on the other side.
00:49:00.000 Sot 25.
00:49:00.000 Did you hear that groan?
00:49:02.000 Yeah.
00:49:03.000 They just weren't into it.
00:49:04.000 And I think that, like, what that is in reference to was during one of the roasts.
00:49:11.000 I think the Kevin Hart roasts, which are brutality.
00:49:15.000 You know, it's being as brutal as you can be.
00:49:18.000 And, you know, and you try to be as inappropriate as you can be to try to outgross the other people.
00:49:23.000 It's a different game.
00:49:24.000 That's performing in Madison Square Garden.
00:49:27.000 It's a different kind of performance.
00:49:31.000 It is a see if you can outrage your previous performer.
00:49:36.000 And that's what Tony Hinchcliffe was doing.
00:49:38.000 So the reference that of Charlie Kirk is looking up at us, I think, is a smiling.
00:49:47.000 It's directly, you know, it's not a lift, as you would say.
00:49:52.000 It was his way of countering.
00:49:55.000 What the Tony Hinchcliffe.
00:49:56.000 Yeah, I even remember us discussing.
00:49:59.000 But, yeah, but like, you know, like, there's no comparing George Floyd to Charlie Kirk.
00:50:07.000 I mean, as you rightly said, Charlie was a light.
00:50:09.000 He was a beautiful soul.
00:50:11.000 He was an amazing man.
00:50:13.000 And George Floyd, I don't think he should have died or been killed.
00:50:16.000 That breaks my heart for anybody.
00:50:19.000 But obviously, the guy had problems, you know?
00:50:22.000 Well, I think, I mean, that gets back to the original thing.
00:50:24.000 I remember the day it happened, people were saying, like, Because the left was making fun of it the moment it happened.
00:50:31.000 And someone pointed out, it's like, you know, if you guys want to understand how this feels to us, imagine how you would feel when you saw someone you sympathized with, like a drug addict or a criminal.
00:50:41.000 And well, you know, what happens is, I think, look, if I can jump in, what you have is you have a, there is no sympathy and no empathy for anybody outside your, your tribe, your political tribe and your group.
00:50:55.000 And everyone, no matter how, and it's the extremes of the, of the, You know, on the fringe of it, I would think, I'm going to hope.
00:51:05.000 But you can have no empathy and you can have abject cruelty as long as it's towards the right group.
00:51:11.000 Whereas somebody in the in group, then you have all the empathy and sympathy that you want.
00:51:16.000 And I think it's what you're seeing.
00:51:17.000 You're seeing a dehumanization.
00:51:19.000 Conservatives grouped together, just another way to hate Trump and to hate conservatives and anyone associated with him.
00:51:26.000 And truthfully, not even understanding, like, I mean, what a beautiful human being Charlie was.
00:51:31.000 I mean, it's like, I mean, literally, I mean, I think one of the most consequential.
00:51:38.000 You know, people of the century, for sure.
00:51:41.000 And the thing about Charlie was there was no agenda there except how much he loved the country.
00:51:47.000 And that irritated the left so much because he was a man of God bringing souls to Christ and trying to preserve what this country was a nation under God, a Christian God.
00:51:59.000 And he wanted to make sure that as many people who had forgotten about it and the young people who were not taught that, that they knew that.
00:52:06.000 Those are all beautiful things.
00:52:08.000 Rob, the first thing, you know, when I saw this clip and I posted it, It was John 15, 18 through 25, where he says, If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
00:52:19.000 If you belong to the world, it would love you as its own.
00:52:22.000 As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
00:52:26.000 This is why the world hates you.
00:52:27.000 Remember what I told you.
00:52:30.000 And so that was the first thing that I thought of.
00:52:32.000 And I think you're absolutely right.
00:52:34.000 Well, the thing about it is, if you take a look at what is the Bible verse now?
00:52:39.000 But it is, whether it's Leviticus or Exodus, it's, you know, What do they call Satan? 0.78
00:52:46.000 He's a murderer, and then he's a slanderer. 1.00
00:52:50.000 He's a murderer, a liar, a slanderer. 1.00
00:52:53.000 An accused person. 1.00
00:52:55.000 Yes.
00:52:55.000 And so you're seeing all those lists come out.
00:52:59.000 And for the people who are like, you know, the most effective are the ones that will be targeted.
00:53:05.000 And I will say that, you know, I'm buoyed by the lack of response from that audience.
00:53:12.000 And also, I mean, well, like, you know, Andrew, and like the first thing you said to me, Which I really, really respect and appreciate was like, we don't want to squelch, you know, Dave Chappelle's free speech.
00:53:21.000 He has the free speech.
00:53:22.000 And the audience, I thought, reacted well to that, you know, as best as they could in their humanity.
00:53:27.000 And that's a very liberal crowd in New York City.
00:53:29.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:53:30.000 As far as the witches of democracy, those two ladies, look at the $8 million that they lost. 1.00
00:53:38.000 And, you know, there's a price to be paid. 1.00
00:53:40.000 And they have, they are absolutely unrepentant.
00:53:44.000 And that's the right word, unrepentant.
00:53:46.000 Absolutely.
00:53:47.000 Rob Schneider.
00:53:48.000 Thank you, my friend.
00:53:49.000 Thank you for always honoring Charlie so well.
00:53:51.000 Thank you, brother.
00:53:55.000 $28 may not sound like much, but to a scared mother considering abortion, it can help provide something incredibly important a real opportunity to pause and see her baby for the first time.
00:54:06.000 Today, a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy can reach for her phone, search for abortion pills, and have the pills delivered directly to her home.
00:54:13.000 She can move from fear toward abortion incredibly quickly, but your gift can help create another opportunity.
00:54:20.000 For just $28, you can help provide a free ultrasound through Preborn Network Clinic.
00:54:25.000 There, a woman can see her baby, receive compassionate support from people who will listen, and consider another choice before abortion becomes her answer.
00:54:34.000 And when women see their babies on ultrasound, 80% choose life.
00:54:38.000 Let me repeat when women see their babies on an ultrasound, 80% will choose life.
00:54:44.000 $28 can help provide one ultrasound, $280 can help provide 10.
00:54:48.000 And right now, thanks to a dollar for dollar match, your gift is doubled.
00:54:52.000 Call 833 850 2229.
00:54:56.000 That's 833 850 2229, or 833 85 BABY, or click on the preborn banner at charleykirk.com.
00:55:05.000 One more time, guys, it's so important.
00:55:07.000 833 850 BABY, or click on the preborn banner at charleykirk.com.
00:55:12.000 All gifts are tax deductible, and preborn is a five star rated charity.
00:55:16.000 Preborn was so special to Charlie, and it's so important to me as well.
00:55:21.000 Right now, you can help make motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with preborn.
00:55:25.000 I'd be so honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us.
00:55:30.000 There's so much going on right now.
00:55:32.000 So there is a lot happening behind the scenes right now, especially with Senate leadership, okay?
00:55:40.000 This was the rumor this morning.
00:55:41.000 I'm going to play a clip from Lawrence Jones.
00:55:44.000 It's, you know, this behind the scenes maneuvering I don't think is going to fly right now.
00:55:49.000 The candidate forum is this morning, and the results with a secret ballot will be this afternoon unless they listen to these few senators and say we're going to postpone.
00:55:49.000 Sot 17.
00:55:59.000 Yeah, it looks like he's still running.
00:56:00.000 I just don't understand why they would, after what happened on Tuesday, think that what they're doing currently is acceptable to the voters.
00:56:09.000 I mean, you got to have some self assessment and figure out what went wrong.
00:56:16.000 And if the voters feel like you didn't deliver on the agenda and many of it died in the Senate, and you're going to take that same leadership path, I think that's suicide right there.
00:56:28.000 Well, I think Lawrence Jones is on to something.
00:56:31.000 So that was rumors of a closed door meeting.
00:56:34.000 To elect, basically, rubber stamp John Thune.
00:56:37.000 Now, it's no secret.
00:56:38.000 I've been very public about this.
00:56:40.000 I called for the replacement of John Thune months ago.
00:56:44.000 I'd seen enough.
00:56:45.000 The man is not cut out for the job of herding these cats in the Senate.
00:56:51.000 Now, we have about less than eight weeks to get so much accomplished right now.
00:56:55.000 Now, these are the senators, 145, that have come out and said they will not rubber stamp this closed door.
00:57:04.000 John Thune over again, this redux.
00:57:08.000 That's Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
00:57:10.000 He said he'd just march right out.
00:57:11.000 If they tried to do a leadership election, he'd just march right out.
00:57:14.000 Mike Lee from Utah, Rick Scott from Florida, John Kennedy from Louisiana, Dave McCorvick from Pennsylvania, Jim Banks from Indiana, and Ted Budd from North Carolina.
00:57:23.000 I think all of those gentlemen have been on this show multiple times except for Ted Budd.
00:57:29.000 So they're putting together a pretty good coalition of the willing right there to.
00:57:36.000 Push back any of this, say delay the leadership vote, which I think is the right move.
00:57:40.000 See if you can get some of President Trump's agenda passed.
00:57:43.000 What is the agenda?
00:57:44.000 Well, I think they should try for the Save America Act, but it starts with 150.
00:57:50.000 Very important for the U.S. Senate to confirm all of our pending 161 nominations, including 25 federal judges.
00:57:56.000 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:57:58.000 This has been your big push all along.
00:58:01.000 Yeah, that's what you got to focus on.
00:58:03.000 I think the Save America Act, I would have loved to have passed it.
00:58:06.000 I think it's too late now in the sense that.
00:58:10.000 There is going to be cost to being the party that nukes the filibuster.
00:58:13.000 The Democrats say they really want to do it.
00:58:15.000 You might as well make them take that, considering at this point it's like trying to close the barn door after a long time.
00:58:23.000 Yeah, they won't nuke it while Trump is in the White House.
00:58:25.000 It's just not worth doing it.
00:58:26.000 They won't because he'll veto.
00:58:27.000 Veto, veto, veto.
00:58:29.000 I'm not going to do it right now.
00:58:30.000 You can nuke the filibuster without.
00:58:32.000 Trump can't veto that.
00:58:33.000 The thing you have to prioritize, though, as we were agreeing, is you need to be focused on getting all of the confirmations through.
00:58:33.000 We won't get into that.
00:58:40.000 And there's a lot of them.
00:58:41.000 There are.
00:58:42.000 Let me see.
00:58:43.000 25 federal judges who are open.
00:58:45.000 And honestly, I should check.
00:58:47.000 I don't even know if that's every vacancy.
00:58:49.000 If there are any vacancies out there, get a nominee out right now.
00:58:51.000 That should be the priority.
00:58:52.000 161 other nominations.
00:58:54.000 Some of those are just galling.
00:58:55.000 There's a lot that were made last March, even earlier.
00:58:59.000 Ambassadorships, positions in the State Department, a lot of stuff that we're supposed to have people.
00:59:04.000 They could have confirmed them in August.
00:59:06.000 They went on vacation.
00:59:07.000 They could have confirmed them in September.
00:59:08.000 They went on vacation.
00:59:10.000 And they wasted their time, didn't confirm.
00:59:12.000 Now's the time to do it.
00:59:13.000 If you don't do it now, well, you're as worthless as all of our emails seem to think you are. 0.85
00:59:17.000 Throw up 138, though.
00:59:18.000 I love this fighting spirit from Ron John.
00:59:21.000 This is exactly what we need.
00:59:22.000 138.
00:59:23.000 So he's replying to David Sivak, who's a reporter.
00:59:26.000 He says, News, Ron Johnson plans to walk out of the room if leadership elections move forward on Tuesday.
00:59:32.000 If you hold the election, I'll leave the room.
00:59:35.000 Ron Johnson says, I simply won't participate in business as usual.
00:59:40.000 An election defeat of this magnitude demands change.
00:59:43.000 Totally agree.
00:59:45.000 All the arrows are coming for Trump right now, all the arrows are coming for people like Turning Point that got out the vote.
00:59:51.000 Okay.
00:59:52.000 I've said it before.
00:59:53.000 I'll say it again.
00:59:54.000 We felt we could get three to five points.
00:59:56.000 In these close races.
00:59:57.000 By the way, we're seeing that.
00:59:59.000 You know, Eli Crane just yesterday was announced as the winner of his race.
01:00:03.000 It was a narrow win.
01:00:04.000 He's in an R7 district.
01:00:06.000 It shifted six points to the Dems.
01:00:09.000 All right.
01:00:10.000 It's enough to save him. 0.98
01:00:11.000 Jay Feely was in like an R1 district.
01:00:13.000 It moved seven points.
01:00:14.000 Both those districts probably would have moved the national average, which is almost 13 points had we not done our effort.
01:00:20.000 But all these slings and arrows are coming for people doing good work and they're coming for President Trump.
01:00:25.000 But half the blame needs to go on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue.
01:00:29.000 Half the blame needs to go to the do nothing Senate.
01:00:32.000 And I think Senator Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and these types, they understand that we had a mandate to get things done, real change accomplished, like the Save America Act, and that was left unfinished.
01:00:42.000 And we are paying the political price for it now.
01:00:45.000 What's the point of electing Republicans if you can't get anything done?
01:00:48.000 And I understand we had a lot of dead weight Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, McConnell.
01:00:54.000 Rand Paul was hard to wrangle oftentimes, but I think you absolutely can work with Rand Paul.
01:01:00.000 This is.
01:01:01.000 The issue that they had, but that's your job, Leader Thune, to deal with these people that don't want to play ball.
01:01:07.000 Cassidy, Tillis, I understand it was a raucous caucus, but you got to deal with these people.
01:01:12.000 Or even if you can't get them to vote for it, like what you could actually do the votes.
01:01:17.000 You have so many endless opportunities.
01:01:19.000 The biggest problem I have with the Senate is they just don't vote on things.
01:01:22.000 Even if you can't get, even if you can't nuke the filibuster, make everyone go on the record for who's going to presume the filibuster.
01:01:27.000 Or do freaking votes to have Democrats block stuff that could be popular.
01:01:34.000 Make Democrats stand up there. 1.00
01:01:35.000 Doesn't even need to be do immigration reform stuff. 0.99
01:01:37.000 Say, oh, we're not going to let you bring in child brides anymore. 1.00
01:01:40.000 We're not going to do let you, we're going to cap the H 1B stuff. 0.98
01:01:44.000 You could do stuff like that and make Democrats get in the breach and vote on it so you can hurt them.
01:01:49.000 And instead, what people saw, what they saw was Senator Thune and others coming out and saying, yeah, we really want to do the Save Act.
01:01:55.000 We're hopeful we can get it through.
01:01:57.000 You know, we're working really hard at this.
01:01:58.000 And everyone felt like they were being lied to.
01:02:00.000 And then nothing happened.
01:02:01.000 And they went and said, we got lied to.
01:02:03.000 We got cheated. 0.94
01:02:04.000 These guys are a bunch of shams. 0.99
01:02:06.000 Well, and this is the culture that needs to be broken in Washington. 0.97
01:02:09.000 When you have deadweight senators, you need to not protect them.
01:02:15.000 You need to force them to out themselves.
01:02:18.000 And I think what happens in the Senate, and it's supposed to be this very collegiate body where everybody's very respectful of one another, and I actually think some of that's good.
01:02:26.000 Don't get me wrong.
01:02:28.000 But you should not be playing cover for people that all they do is block the agenda of the American people.
01:02:35.000 Ultimately, they need to own the way that they want to vote.
01:02:39.000 Okay?
01:02:40.000 Ultimately, they need to own it.
01:02:43.000 And by Thune refusing to do the votes, there are bad senators that will make it through a primary future because they haven't been called to account.
01:02:53.000 That's the problem.
01:02:54.000 You have to bring these people to the floor.
01:02:56.000 And to Blake's point, you could have given them layups that even the bad senators would have been like, well, I'm not voting against that.
01:03:03.000 Child brides? 1.00
01:03:05.000 Let the Democrats own that. 1.00
01:03:07.000 Let their insanity be shown before the world so everybody knows where they stand.
01:03:12.000 Now, the other thing that we need to get accomplished.
01:03:14.000 In this lame duck session, we need to get another reconciliation bill across the line.
01:03:20.000 We had two, maybe three bites of the apple that were possible.
01:03:22.000 We got one based on Senate rules.
01:03:26.000 So you have eight weeks left.
01:03:28.000 You better be working 24 7.
01:03:31.000 Literally, no breaks.
01:03:33.000 No breaks, Mr. Thune.
01:03:36.000 Make them work.
01:03:37.000 Make the Democrats work. 0.99
01:03:40.000 Pedal to the metal, reconciliation bill. 0.86
01:03:43.000 Get our agenda passed before they take over, before the lunatics are running the asylum, because that's what it is.
01:03:48.000 Have you seen a picture of these people?
01:03:50.000 It's like Talrico, El Sayed, Papas.
01:03:50.000 Yeah.
01:03:54.000 Like, it's literally like a trans loving, a gay man, and a Muslim walking to a bar.
01:03:59.000 It's just frustrating because what we all, I think, what you and I both know, Andrew, deep down, is we need a more revolutionary cast of mind within our senators.
01:04:09.000 And that's not saying we don't want the Democrat version of blow everything up, blow up the Supreme Court, basically nuke our Constitution.
01:04:17.000 We want, you just have to think, is the Senate real?
01:04:20.000 And that was the argument for abolishing the filibuster.
01:04:22.000 That for 20 years at this point, basically, the Senate has been fake because no one ever has 60 votes.
01:04:28.000 They can never pass anything real.
01:04:30.000 And so it's just nothing but a block and burden on our process.
01:04:35.000 Yep.
01:04:35.000 And like, you just need to be daring.
01:04:40.000 You have to imagine a Senate that can pass things and that if you deliver on things, we'll actually win elections.
01:04:40.000 You have to dare.
01:04:46.000 We would win so many more elections if we had a Senate that was out there banning congressional stock trading, actively draining the swamp.
01:04:46.000 Yeah.
01:04:53.000 Imagine if we went out to the voters and said, Oh, you're worried about corruption?
01:04:56.000 We made it so people who are enriching themselves in D.C. can't do it anymore.
01:05:00.000 So many layups, so many missed opportunities.
01:05:01.000 I think that's where the anger is so potent right now, is because we squandered a massive opportunity.
01:05:07.000 It wasn't that the base wasn't calling for it, it wasn't that the show wasn't calling for it.
01:05:11.000 Screamed our lungs out.
01:05:11.000 We did.
01:05:13.000 The Senate just didn't do any of it.
01:05:16.000 So, an interesting little piece of drama is unfolding when we're talking about the Senate, and that's Tim Burchett.
01:05:23.000 So, Marsha Blackburn was elected governor of Tennessee.
01:05:28.000 She was obviously a senator. 0.85
01:05:29.000 She's still a senator, technically, until the new term takes over. 1.00
01:05:33.000 And she's going to be in charge of naming her replacement.
01:05:36.000 So Tim Burchett is making his case to replace Marsha Blackburn, SOT 27.
01:05:43.000 I would relish the opportunity, ma'am.
01:05:45.000 I think I'm very well prepared to do that job.
01:05:47.000 I think I know the program.
01:05:48.000 I think I would be the one that would step up and stop if our leadership was pushing Democrat socialist ideas.
01:05:55.000 And I believe I could, I know the process to stop the funding of those bills and stop them in their tracks.
01:06:01.000 Somebody's got to be able to do that.
01:06:03.000 The education system is very steep in this body, in both bodies.
01:06:06.000 And I believe I'd be the one that could deliver that.
01:06:08.000 I'd also be a conduit for good bills.
01:06:11.000 I would love to know what you guys think.
01:06:12.000 Send us an email right now.
01:06:13.000 What do you think about Tim Burchett in the U.S. Senate?
01:06:16.000 He's been on this show before.
01:06:17.000 He's a straight speaking Southerner who kind of tells it like it is.
01:06:22.000 He does these selfie videos, kind of, I think.
01:06:26.000 Reflecting the mood of the base really well.
01:06:28.000 And remember, grassroots, grassroots, grassroots.
01:06:30.000 This has to be a bottom up movement.
01:06:32.000 It has to be.
01:06:34.000 That's what Turning Point exists to do.
01:06:35.000 That's what Charlie believed in.
01:06:36.000 Grassroots, grassroots, grassroots.
01:06:38.000 It's what we are.
01:06:39.000 We hear from you.
01:06:40.000 We try and communicate it.
01:06:42.000 We try and get that into the zeitgeist.
01:06:44.000 But there's a, I guess, a substack is the right way to, from a guy named Scott Greer.
01:06:50.000 We've talked about it a lot.
01:06:51.000 I'm going to read more.
01:06:52.000 Yeah.
01:06:53.000 As we're talking about, because, you know, there's that Bible verse where it says, Behold, I'm doing a new thing.
01:06:53.000 He's been on here before.
01:07:00.000 Okay.
01:07:01.000 I feel in my spirit, and maybe you guys do as well, send us an email, freedom at charliekirk.com, that something new is emerging.
01:07:09.000 It always happens after a big loss or a big tectonic political shakeup.
01:07:13.000 And that's what we just lived through.
01:07:16.000 It doesn't mean, however, that our ideas are bad.
01:07:19.000 It doesn't.
01:07:20.000 But it does mean that we need to be reflective of it.
01:07:23.000 And he wrote something in his new Substack that really resonated with me.
01:07:26.000 I'm going to read it to you and see what you all think.
01:07:28.000 The title of this, by the way, was called Plan Trusting is Over.
01:07:32.000 That was the name of the piece.
01:07:33.000 So Greer says The GOP and the broader conservative movement is in a more difficult situation.
01:07:39.000 The right just can't declare MAGA over and move on.
01:07:42.000 It's stuck with Trump's movement.
01:07:44.000 The only viable path is to keep the good things about MAGA, immigration, hawkish, hawkery, the political incorrectness, and the backbone, and ditch the bad, corruption, clownishness, and reckless foreign adventures, etc.
01:07:57.000 Most importantly, it has to get out from under Trump's shadow and present itself as something different from the current administration.
01:08:04.000 If the GOP promises four more years of Trump without Trump, Republicans will get murdered in 2028.
01:08:10.000 Realism, not plan trusting, is the only way forward.
01:08:15.000 The part about this that I think it resonates.
01:08:17.000 And again, I want to hear your guys' thoughts.
01:08:20.000 Corruption, clownishness, reckless foreign adventures.
01:08:23.000 I think there's an element. 0.72
01:08:24.000 Donald Trump is such an exceptional figure.
01:08:27.000 Like, he's just, there's been nobody like him.
01:08:30.000 Only Trump can be Trump.
01:08:31.000 Only Trump can be Trump.
01:08:32.000 Charlie would say that sometimes because a lot of people don't try and outdo Trump.
01:08:34.000 Don't try to outdo Trump.
01:08:35.000 Don't try to really imitate Trump too much, except on the stuff that is imitatable, which some things are.
01:08:40.000 Are you serious?
01:08:41.000 Yeah.
01:08:41.000 The policies.
01:08:42.000 And also just some of that, like, being tough, you know, being based, as it were, like, Don't get bossed around by people.
01:08:42.000 The policies.
01:08:49.000 But there's an element.
01:08:50.000 Trump has that.
01:08:50.000 He has that very combative persona.
01:08:53.000 He does stuff.
01:08:54.000 Remember the Collins clip? 0.97
01:08:56.000 Or like even the Rob Reiner thing that Rob Reiner gets murdered by his mentally ill son along with his wife. 0.93
01:09:01.000 And Trump comes out and kind of makes this pretty ugly tweet saying, you know, he got killed by Trump derangement syndrome. 0.62
01:09:08.000 And everyone, we didn't like it, but everyone also kind of forgot about it and moved on.
01:09:13.000 I don't think other people could get away with that kind of behavior bluntly.
01:09:16.000 And I think that's just a single example of.
01:09:19.000 How Trump is just an exceptional figure.
01:09:21.000 I remember that day.
01:09:22.000 And yeah, and we talked about it on the show.
01:09:24.000 I tweeted as soon as I heard about it, and, you know, Rob Reiner was a very political, like far left political activist.
01:09:31.000 There's no doubt.
01:09:32.000 He hated Trump.
01:09:33.000 He was a part of trying to get Trump thrown in prison.
01:09:36.000 I understand why the president didn't like it, to be perfectly fair.
01:09:39.000 But I didn't think about any of that.
01:09:41.000 I heard the news.
01:09:42.000 Just setting that aside.
01:09:43.000 I said nice things.
01:09:44.000 Setting that aside, setting that aside, it just speaks to Trump as a highly unusual figure.
01:09:47.000 And I think that's what Greer is getting at when he says, if we just promise four years of Trumpism without Trump. 0.97
01:09:54.000 Will get murdered.
01:09:55.000 And that's true because I think there is a reality that only Trump can sort of get away with his particular combination of policy and sort of big man personality.
01:10:08.000 And so you do, we're probably going to need a way of selling this is something that is different from what the last four years were.
01:10:15.000 Chew the meat, spit out the bones from whatever this past thing was, which was necessary, by the way.
01:10:20.000 The backbone that Greer talks about in this, I think, is really huge.
01:10:23.000 Yeah.
01:10:23.000 And it's interesting because, for example, if you looked at Ron DeSantis' campaign in 24, I think there was a real attempt to brand that as like this is Trump's policies without any of the stuff about Trump that sort of makes people uncomfortable from time to time.
01:10:37.000 And it didn't work.
01:10:38.000 It didn't quite appeal to people.
01:10:40.000 People weren't ready for it yet.
01:10:41.000 The question is, are they ready for it now?
01:10:43.000 That's why I'm so curious about the emails if they come in.
01:10:47.000 I know we're going to get a bunch, but the question is, what are you guys hungry for?
01:10:52.000 What do you want to see changed?
01:10:53.000 What do you think needs to change?
01:10:55.000 What doesn't need to change? 1.00
01:10:56.000 I'll tell you one thing I don't want to see change, and that is immigration. 0.97
01:11:02.000 I want to be hardcore about that.
01:11:03.000 If you want to know how the left still plans to transform this country, and they've already made a ton of inroads on this, they want to replace the body politic.
01:11:12.000 They want to bring in the third world and have them voting Democrat for the rest of their lives and for generations. 0.83
01:11:18.000 They will do that. 1.00
01:11:20.000 If you let them, they will do that.
01:11:21.000 And we were just getting walked over before because we didn't want to come off as racist.
01:11:26.000 Well, I think we've learned our lesson there.
01:11:29.000 Those ideas need to stay put.
01:11:31.000 The border needs to stay put.
01:11:33.000 The skepticism about international interventions, foreign wars, and far-fungal issues.
01:11:39.000 We got our first email, and it's Penny and says, No one can Trump Trump.
01:11:42.000 Well, that's exactly what we were saying.
01:11:44.000 No one.
01:11:45.000 It's not even that no one can copy Trump.
01:11:48.000 It's nobody can.
01:11:52.000 I don't even think anyone can make the particular combination of political ideology and public behavior and speech giving.
01:12:01.000 It's an aesthetic thing.
01:12:02.000 It's the thing.
01:12:03.000 He had a special hold on the American right and really on the American public because even the way he sets off people on the left is different from anyone who's come before and anyone who will come after, I believe.
01:12:15.000 I do.
01:12:16.000 Even though we've talked about, oh, they called Trump. 0.94
01:12:17.000 Mitt Romney a fascist. 0.75
01:12:19.000 They called George Bush a fascist going back forever. 0.97
01:12:21.000 And yet, I don't think anyone who comes after Trump will be able to match that level of insanity. 0.70
01:12:26.000 No, no.
01:12:27.000 I do think that they've learned that they can propagandize the American people to believe just about anything.
01:12:33.000 And that is the fear.
01:12:35.000 The right has to get unified.
01:12:37.000 And this is the time to have these fights, by the way.
01:12:40.000 That's what's going to be great.
01:12:40.000 We said that Amfest is going to have more debates.
01:12:43.000 We should keep advertising that.
01:12:44.000 You can still get tickets to Amfest, correct?
01:12:46.000 Absolutely.
01:12:47.000 So we encourage you to come here.
01:12:48.000 If you want to be debating, What direction should MAGA, what direction should conservatism, what direction should the Republican Party take in 2027 and 2028 and beyond?
01:13:00.000 You should attend AmFest.
01:13:02.000 Yeah.
01:13:02.000 Four days of it.
01:13:03.000 We're going to have, by the way, we're going to have iPads and you can vote on straw polls and let your voice be heard that way too, which is definitely going to make a lot of news.
01:13:11.000 It usually does at AmFest.
