00:00:38.000 Here we go.
00:00:39.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:41.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:43.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:46.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:50.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:51.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:52.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:54.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:59.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:00.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:09.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:12.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:21.000 One part of our conversation with RFK Jr. was when we talked about the Colorado Supreme Court, and he shares a traditional liberal view on it.
00:01:31.000 He thinks it's insane that Donald Trump is being kicked off the ballot.
00:01:33.000 And I said something and he agreed with it.
00:01:35.000 And I said, well, this is not a way to try and heal the country.
00:01:40.000 This is certainly going to create more radicalism.
00:01:43.000 Now, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I think it's intentionally, this is an important thing that we need to focus on.
00:01:50.000 If you were actually trying to heal the country, if you were actually trying to bring people together, why would you act like this?
00:01:59.000 This is one of the most important takeaways from the last couple of years.
00:02:04.000 From Joe Biden's inaugural address to Joe Biden being president, to his declaration of war against you, flanked by two Marines, red all over the place, the bad guys have never been interested in healing the land.
00:02:20.000 That's important because Joe Biden ran, if he ran at all, from his basement on at least one promise.
00:02:26.000 We're going to bring down the temperature.
00:02:28.000 We're going to bring people together.
00:02:30.000 We're going to get by all these nasty politics.
00:02:33.000 And people bought into this nonsense.
00:02:36.000 And instead, the regime has been participating in a relentless campaign to not just destroy you, but also provoke you.
00:02:48.000 And it's happening at almost every possible level.
00:02:51.000 And what drives me nuts is some people on the right say, oh, don't follow for the provocations.
00:02:56.000 You know, be better than that.
00:02:58.000 I mean, look, at some point, your humanity pops out.
00:03:03.000 At some point, you can only disenfranchise voters so much where you don't have options on the ballot that you want.
00:03:11.000 And the regime says, yeah, you know, that's the way it's going to be.
00:03:15.000 You can't vote for the candidate of your choosing because we're in charge and you aren't.
00:03:20.000 Did Donald Trump murder somebody?
00:03:24.000 Did Donald Trump leave the southern border wide open so millions of people could waltz in and destroy our country?
00:03:29.000 No, Donald Trump was an effective president.
00:03:31.000 Think about this.
00:03:32.000 This is a former president.
00:03:33.000 They're treating him as if he was Adolf Hitler because they believe he is, or at least they've convinced themselves of that.
00:03:42.000 Play cut 23.
00:03:43.000 Bring us on this.
00:03:44.000 Hours, Douglas, after making these remarks, the former president doubled down and wrote a post saying this: Illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation.
00:03:55.000 As I mentioned, President Biden and the White House are comparing this to the words of Adolf Hitler and specifically the words that were written in Mein Kampf.
00:04:04.000 I heard a former president who is jiving on fascism.
00:04:09.000 There's no question about that being a line from Mein Kamp.
00:04:12.000 He knows it.
00:04:13.000 He's been dabbling in Adolf Hitler his whole life, keeps Hitler's speeches at a bedside.
00:04:20.000 Mein Kampf seems to be the book that's inspired Trump the most.
00:04:24.000 So it's heinous.
00:04:25.000 Wait, I've heard a lot of things.
00:04:28.000 He keeps Hitler's speeches at his bedside.
00:04:31.000 I've heard a lot of things.
00:04:32.000 I've never heard that.
00:04:33.000 That's new.
00:04:34.000 They need to convince themselves that Donald Trump is Hitler to justify what they're going to do in 2024.
00:04:43.000 It is necessary, necessary to have these smart people, high IQ people, allegedly, that go to the good schools and they say, yeah, you know, Donald Trump is basically the worst person ever to live in the history of the world.
00:04:56.000 He's literally Hitler.
00:04:58.000 And the media says, oh, yeah, you know, that's totally understandable.
00:05:01.000 And of course, we said this yesterday.
00:05:03.000 They're laying the groundwork for an assassination of Donald Trump.
00:05:06.000 We're going to keep on saying that because it's so clear what they're doing.
00:05:10.000 It's obvious.
00:05:10.000 They are broadcasting their play.
00:05:13.000 They're going to run out of options.
00:05:16.000 They're not going to be able to keep him from the ballot.
00:05:18.000 Trump's movement is stronger than ever.
00:05:20.000 He is winning over working class voters, winning over Hispanics, winning over blacks, winning over young people.
00:05:27.000 To what degree, we don't know.
00:05:29.000 But eventually, what is going to prevent them from doing that?
00:05:32.000 I hope that's not the case.
00:05:34.000 I pray that's not the case.
00:05:36.000 But we are so far removed and detached from presidents and presidential candidates being shot at, we think is that it's this unknown concept.
00:05:44.000 Gerald Ford was shot at in downtown San Francisco.
00:05:48.000 Ronald Reagan was shot as president of the United States.
00:05:51.000 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed.
00:05:53.000 JFK was shot and killed.
00:05:55.000 Malcolm X was shot and killed.
00:05:57.000 MLK Jr. was shot and killed.
00:05:59.000 Like post-1990, we haven't had that happen in our country.
00:06:03.000 And so we're so far removed that they make you seem as if you're a crazy person when you say this.
00:06:09.000 But in reality, you look at American history, it is filled with presidents, presidential candidates, political leaders that have been taken out.
00:06:20.000 And yet, as soon as the violence against Trump happens, they will justify it.
00:06:25.000 Of course they will.
00:06:26.000 If Donald Trump was taken out, God forbid, MSNBC would say, well, you know, you act like Hitler.
00:06:36.000 Don't be surprised to somebody.
00:06:37.000 That's what they would do, 100%.
00:06:40.000 And they're going to not, if they can't get to Trump, if the Secret Service continues to do their job, which I pray they do, they're just going to go after the next level down.
00:06:48.000 They're going to go after some of the rank and file.
00:06:51.000 The man who sowed hate reaped what he deserved.
00:06:54.000 That's what they're going to say.
00:06:55.000 Oh, you know, he created this movement and F around and find out is what they're going to say.
00:07:03.000 No, the level of rhetoric and narrative, it's reaching a boiling point because they're running out of options.
00:07:08.000 They thought this is where Trump is so different.
00:07:11.000 They thought post-January 6th, they thought that Donald Trump went to ALBA.
00:07:15.000 He's gone.
00:07:16.000 He's in exile.
00:07:17.000 His political future is over.
00:07:19.000 In February of 2021 and March of 2021, right after January 6th, they thought the whole ballgame was over.
00:07:25.000 They said, okay, he's done, signed, sealed, and delivered.
00:07:29.000 We can now totally change things.
00:07:31.000 But it turns out Trump's movement was way stronger than they ever wanted to recognize or realize.
00:07:36.000 And Trump has only grown in popularity since then.
00:07:41.000 And so they've tried everything and they held back some of these indictments, January 6th indictments, document case indictments.
00:07:47.000 They raided Mar-a-Laga.
00:07:48.000 They've gone after every single person in Trump's orbit.
00:07:51.000 But Trump is wired so differently is that he doubles down and he triples down and he quadruples down.
00:07:58.000 There's never been a political figure like this in the last hundred years, ever.
00:08:03.000 Anybody else would just say, I'm done, forget it, whatever.
00:08:06.000 And it's almost like Trump gets purpose out of it, just messing with these people and fighting and fighting and fighting.
00:08:14.000 And so at some point, they threaten him with 700 years in prison.
00:08:17.000 They take the business empire from him.
00:08:19.000 They threaten his kids with prison.
00:08:21.000 What else is there to do?
00:08:23.000 Well, they are trying to not just provoke you, they're also trying to provoke criminality amongst their rank and file.
00:08:33.000 They're trying to wind up the neurotic left-wing base to have violence against Trump supporters, violence against Trump himself, and to try to provoke you.
00:08:44.000 There is no other explanation because the Colorado Supreme Court, for no other, forget the legal, by the way, their legal opinion is so sloppy.
00:08:55.000 It's so ridiculous that no honest person could look at that legal opinion and say, yeah, you know, I just think that's rock solid.
00:09:06.000 But even if their legal opinion was perfect, the Colorado Supreme Court should have said, are we really doing this?
00:09:14.000 I mean, are we really, as a state Supreme Court, for the first time since post-Civil War, the first time a court has ever done this, going to tell our voters of Colorado, the patriots of this state, the patriots in Colorado Springs, that you're not allowed when you get a ballot to vote for a former president?
00:09:34.000 What I'm getting at is that these Colorado Supreme Court justices, forget the legal sloppiness, because that's the easy argument, is that they betrayed their oath.
00:09:48.000 They betrayed their duty as a guardian of society.
00:09:54.000 A judge should know better than this.
00:09:56.000 A judge knows what do they think was going to happen here?
00:09:59.000 That all the reaction was just going to be kind of normal.
00:10:03.000 I am honestly shocked at how tranquil the MAGA base is taking all this.
00:10:11.000 Shocked.
00:10:12.000 I'm pleased, honestly, for the record, because they are provoking you.
00:10:16.000 They're taunting you.
00:10:17.000 Don't take the bait.

00:11:23.000 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.
00:11:27.000 They're trying to provoke you.
00:11:29.000 Not just trying, they are provoking you, actually.
00:11:33.000 This is not just a strategy of, oh, you know, we hate Trump and we're trying to prevent Trump.
00:11:40.000 They want a bigger, more public style Fed inspired January 6th event.
00:11:50.000 That's where they get their power from.
00:11:52.000 They're able to kick Trump off the ballot in Colorado because of the chatter and the discussion and the lack thereof post-January 6th.
00:11:52.000 Look at this.
00:12:04.000 Let's play cut 24.
00:12:06.000 Kind of language meant to belittle people, dehumanize them.
00:12:10.000 And when we're not making an anti-Trump comment when we're saying he is a fascist, guys, that really we're dealing with a fight in our country between democracy and fascism.
00:12:22.000 And Trump's telling you that.
00:12:24.000 He's not, he doesn't really mind the Hitler comparison because at heart, he admires Hitler.
00:12:30.000 He should not be able to use language like that to poison our democratic bloodstream.
00:12:36.000 Okay, so let's just be as honest as possible.
00:12:38.000 And we don't have time to waste here.
00:12:40.000 How many times have you heard somebody in a thought experiment or somebody in school when the Holocaust or the Nazis came up?
00:12:52.000 Did somebody say, well, why didn't someone try to kill Hitler?
00:12:54.000 The answer is someone did many times.
00:12:57.000 Like a lot of times.
00:12:59.000 There were several assassination attempts of Hitler, Valkyrie being the most famous one, acted by Tom Cruise.
00:13:09.000 Bonhoeffer, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is another one.
00:13:12.000 So if you actually were in Nazi Germany, which again, we are so remotely, just it's like the opposite, okay, of where we are right now.
00:13:23.000 They're basically arguing without saying it on MSNBC, you have a moral right to try to take this guy out.
00:13:29.000 You have a moral right.
00:13:30.000 We're trying everything.
00:13:32.000 He's a threat to our democracy.
00:13:34.000 He's a threat to our democracy.
00:13:37.000 By the way, it's such an insult to the people who suffered under Hitler.
00:13:41.000 Like, where's the Holocaust Museum coming out and saying, this is reprehensible?
00:13:46.000 Stop it.
00:13:48.000 You are cheapening the evil.
00:13:50.000 You are diluting the suffering of nearly 10 million Jews that were murdered in the Holocaust.
00:14:00.000 Instead, some people say, oh, yeah, you know, totally, I see the similarities.
00:14:03.000 Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.
00:14:06.000 They claim to be worrying about democracy, yet they're stoking conflict endlessly.
00:14:12.000 They do not want healing in the land.
00:14:16.000 I mean, this is what's so extraordinary is this moron, Douglas Brinkley, while he's on TV, says, well, you know, we're not just making Trump comments when it says to Hitler, but the Hitler comparison, because at heart he admires Hitler and he's really kind of Hitler.
00:14:36.000 And by the way, this is Hillary Clinton has said something recently.
00:14:39.000 The memo has been sent out.
00:14:41.000 Is no more playing around, no more eluding.
00:14:45.000 You have to.
00:14:46.000 What else are they going to run on?
00:14:48.000 Are they going to run on the border on the economy, on foreign policy success?
00:14:53.000 No, they are running a psyop.
00:14:55.000 And this is why the Christian nationalist thing is popping up with Russell Moore and Rob Reiner and Tillman Alberta because they try To make all these sloppy comparisons between Nazi Germany and Christian nationalism, the American church, and they're looping Eric Metaxas in it, this whole thing.
00:15:12.000 And this is why they're trying to lie about our turning point USA crowd yelling at Nikki Haley.
00:15:18.000 For example, I'll tell you about the story, Rolling Stone, a bunch of degenerates.
00:15:21.000 They come out and they say, oh, at the Turning Point USA event, when Nikki Haley's came up, they were saying, F her, F her.
00:15:27.000 No, no, no.
00:15:27.000 The crowd was yelling, Tucker, Tucker, because the vice president topic came up.
00:15:33.000 They're trying to create and paint this narrative that Trump supporters are this out of control, right-wing mob that is ready to explode, a volcano at any time.
00:15:42.000 When in reality, I am impressed and I want it to continue this way, that our side is staying peaceful, stay that way, disciplined, stay that way, action-oriented.
00:15:56.000 This is exactly why Amfest was such a threat to the bad guys, where they could mock it, but even if they mocked Amfest, they had to acknowledge the size, the scope.
00:16:06.000 And so it was actually rather underreported, Amfest.
00:16:09.000 If you look at the media, we had a lot of media there, but I don't see a lot of stories out of a lot of the people that came.
00:16:14.000 Maybe they're coming later, or they may be like, oh, yeah, you know, Ted Cruz said this weird thing.
00:16:18.000 Actually, Ted Cruz is awesome.
00:16:19.000 He was great.
00:16:20.000 Because Amfest and what we just accomplished at Turning Point USA really bothers them.
00:16:29.000 Constant calls to action, a reminder to stay peaceful, a reminder not to take the bait, a reminder that we're in a spiritual war.
00:16:39.000 They didn't want that.
00:16:40.000 They wanted a call to arms.
00:16:42.000 That's not what happened, actually, because they're trying to provoke you to that, to get a Reichstag-style fire so that they can end the conservative movement.
00:16:54.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk.
00:16:55.000 You're exciting news to share about saving babies by providing ultrasounds.
00:16:58.000 Right now, there is a dollar-for-dollar match, doubling the number of babies you'll save with pre-born.
00:17:02.000 There are babies alive today about to celebrate their first Christmas because of what we did together a year ago at this time providing ultrasounds.
00:17:09.000 And right now, you can save twice as many babies.
00:17:12.000 Maybe you're already wondering about end of the year giving and want to give every dollar, get the most results.
00:17:16.000 Or maybe you just want to know that a girl making this decision deserves the truth.
00:17:20.000 So that next year at this time, she's picking out a Christmas stocking for her baby's first Christmas.
00:17:24.000 It's beautiful to think about.
00:17:25.000 Your gift of $15,000, somebody out there can do it.
00:17:28.000 I'm sure we'll provide not one, but two ultrasound machines.
00:17:31.000 $280 saves 10 babies.
00:17:33.000 $28 a month saves a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
00:17:36.000 And right now, any gift saves twice as many babies with pre-born.
00:17:39.000 I'm a donor to this organization.
00:17:41.000 We love this organization with the Kirk family.
00:17:43.000 Clay 33-850-2229.
00:17:46.000 Full endorsement.
00:17:47.000 Amazing people.
00:17:48.000 Click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:17:50.000 Go to charliekirk.com right now and click on the pre-born banner.
00:17:56.000 Okay, let's dive deeper into this.
00:17:58.000 They're obviously trying to provoke you, but it's multi-dimensional.
00:18:01.000 We mentioned this story yesterday.
00:18:03.000 Play 41B role here.
00:18:05.000 So in addition to trying to kick Trump off the ballot, they're also taking down civil war monuments and they're erecting monuments to Satan in state capitals.
00:18:17.000 Their playbook is they're trying to get the patriots of the country to do something violent.
00:18:26.000 They're begging for you to do something violent.
00:18:30.000 In fact, absent that, they know that their entire operation is going to fall apart.
00:18:37.000 And mind you, anytime the bad guys do things violent or uncharacteristic, it just kind of gets glossed over.
00:18:43.000 No one cares.
00:18:44.000 They want to try to implode the conservative movement.
00:18:48.000 And this is, again, why America Fest was such and is such a threat to them.
00:18:53.000 You have 13,000 people from all 50 states, all different walks of life.
00:18:58.000 They're happy, they're joyful, they're organizing, they're not mean and nasty.
00:19:05.000 And that's why the media kind of just, oh, yeah, a bunch of extremists gathered in Phoenix.
00:19:09.000 They didn't listen to any speeches.
00:19:10.000 By the way, Rolling Stone, who lied about us with anti-Semitism, Rolling Stone, who lied about us when it came to this ridiculous Nikki Haley Tucker Steve Bannon moment.
00:19:24.000 They wouldn't say for a second that we are building a mass movement that is against all of the consensus beliefs that are being pushed by the activist mainstream media.
00:19:36.000 MSNBC is celebrating this.
00:19:39.000 We played this clip yesterday, but it's worth repeating and it's worth really thinking about.
00:19:43.000 Mara Gay.
00:19:44.000 So you have Mara Gay.
00:19:46.000 You have these guys at MSNBC.
00:19:47.000 Trump is Hitler.
00:19:48.000 Trump is Jefferson Davis.
00:19:50.000 How would you treat the Confederacy?
00:19:51.000 How would you treat rebels to the country?
00:19:53.000 You are in the midst of a cold civil war.
00:19:55.000 They're playing to win.
00:19:56.000 I don't know if our side is playing to win, but you better wake up.
00:19:59.000 Play Cut 30.
00:20:00.000 It's a longer tape.
00:20:02.000 To the Republican candidates' argument that this should be, the voters should have the say and not the courts.
00:20:09.000 Why are you standing with Confederates who betrayed this country?
00:20:17.000 And this is what they're standing with is the spirit of those Confederates rather than the Americans who came together after a long and brutal civil war that was fought to keep the Union together and saw,
00:20:35.000 clearly saw a threat in ex-Confederates running for office, so much so that they amended the Constitution to prevent those traitors from running for office.
00:20:51.000 That should send a message that our election system, our electoral system, can be used for nefarious purposes against the democracy itself.
00:21:03.000 Well, she's really an affirmative action pick.
00:21:07.000 She's not a smart person.
00:21:08.000 So she had to really be careful the way she said this, and she didn't say it very well.
00:21:13.000 She said, well, that is just evidence that the voting system can be used for nefarious purposes against democracy.
00:21:22.000 Oh, you mean giving people the right to vote on the candidate of their choosing?
00:21:28.000 And this is another thing.
00:21:29.000 I know this might sound simple, but it's so true.
00:21:34.000 If Donald Trump was easy to beat at the ballot box, if Donald Trump was so obviously beatable, if there was not a 10 to 15% chance that Trump could win, none of this stuff would be necessary.
00:21:51.000 None of it.
00:21:53.000 Everything you're seeing is an extension that victory is possible.
00:21:59.000 If their victory was inevitable, their propaganda and their lawfare would not be necessary.
00:22:06.000 If their victory was going to happen no matter what, then they wouldn't need to be doing this.
00:22:12.000 They would say, oh, we'll just beat them at the ballot box.
00:22:14.000 We're going to beat them again.
00:22:14.000 Whatever.
00:22:16.000 No, they're afraid of the ballot box.
00:22:17.000 The Democrats, and one of the reasons is that they have a trauma event.
00:22:21.000 You could tell a lot from people who have a trauma event.
00:22:23.000 A lot of trans people have a trauma event and it kind of dictates a lot of the rest of their life.
00:22:28.000 And I mean, trauma events are real things.
00:22:29.000 The trauma event is when Donald J. Trump was announced winner of the presidential election in 2016.
00:22:36.000 For them, that was their Pearl Harbor.
00:22:40.000 For them, that was worse than COVID, worse than anything else.
00:22:44.000 When all of a sudden, they realized that the thing they care about the most, political power, was put in jeopardy for the next four years from a guy that they mocked and made fun of and didn't take seriously enough.
00:22:56.000 And so now they're saying we will never do that again.
00:22:59.000 Not only are we not going to take it, we're going to take it so over the top seriously that we'll be accused of overreacting.
00:23:05.000 And this is kind of the core ethos of MSNBC and the billionaire donor class.
00:23:09.000 And they're just starting.
00:23:11.000 I hope you realize and recognize this is verse one, chapter one, verse one, book one, of what they're willing to do in 2024.
00:23:22.000 Jonathan Turley said it perfectly.
00:23:24.000 This country is a powder keg, and this court is just throwing matches on it.
00:23:28.000 Play cut 39.
00:23:29.000 Well, this court just handed partisans on both sides the ultimate tool to try to shortcut elections.
00:23:37.000 And it's very, very dangerous.
00:23:39.000 I mean, this country is a powder keg, and this court is just throwing matches at it.
00:23:44.000 And I think that it's a real mistake, but I think that they're wrong on the law.
00:23:49.000 They want an explosion.
00:23:51.000 That's the point of this hour.
00:23:53.000 The elites want a volcano.
00:23:57.000 Think about how demented you must be, how sick, how twisted, how evil you must be.
00:24:04.000 That if you're in charge of a society and you want discord and chaos, this is why I say these people are demonic, because they are.
00:24:12.000 How could you possibly be in charge of something tasked with preservation?
00:24:18.000 And your primary focus is let's make the other side act unruly and revolution.
00:24:28.000 We as conservatives could be accused of a lot of things, being dumb.
00:24:32.000 Many people in our party are corrupt.
00:24:34.000 They have really bad ideas.
00:24:37.000 In the modern era, I can't think of an opportunity or a moment where conservatives, actual conservatives, said, you know what?
00:24:43.000 Let's do everything we possibly can to try to create riots in the streets.
00:24:47.000 Because that's where this is headed.
00:24:49.000 I sure hope it doesn't.
00:24:50.000 And everyone knows this.
00:24:51.000 Jonathan Turley is saying this.
00:24:54.000 This increases radicalism.
00:24:56.000 Now, how should we respond to this?
00:24:58.000 Vivek Ramaswamy has the right message.
00:25:00.000 We don't put up with it.
00:25:02.000 This is an insult to all people running for office.
00:25:05.000 This is an insult to your voters, the million-plus people of Colorado, where the Colorado Supreme Court says, yeah, we hate you.
00:25:12.000 We hate you.
00:25:13.000 Play cut 55.
00:25:14.000 I will withdraw.
00:25:16.000 I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot unless and until Trump's name is restored.
00:25:24.000 And I demand that Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie and Nikki Haley do the same thing, or else these Republicans are simply complicit in this unconstitutional attack on the way we conduct our constitutional republic.
00:25:38.000 Ron DeSantis says he'll not follow Vivek Ramaswamy's lead.
00:25:42.000 Maybe Ron DeSantis thinks he has a better chance of being the nominee if Donald Trump is kicked off the ballot in California and Colorado.
00:25:49.000 So Ron DeSantis says, no, I don't know if I'm going to follow that lead.
00:25:52.000 That's strange.
00:25:52.000 Play Cut 56.
00:25:54.000 Fellow GOP 2024 presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, saying he will remove himself from the Colorado ballot unless Trump's eligibility is restored.
00:26:03.000 Would you do the same?
00:26:07.000 No, I think that's just playing into the left.
00:26:09.000 I think the case will get overturned by the Supreme Court, but I've qualified for all the ballots.
00:26:14.000 I'm competing in all the states, and I'm going to accumulate the delegates necessary.
00:26:18.000 That's the whole name of the game in this situation.
00:26:20.000 Man, I'm trying to help you out, Governor DeSantis.
00:26:22.000 That is a terrible answer.
00:26:24.000 I have so much respect for you.
00:26:25.000 What are you doing, man?
00:26:26.000 You are ruining your political career.
00:26:28.000 I've tried to warn you.
00:26:29.000 You know what really bothers me about the DeSantis thing?
00:26:31.000 And I had this meeting with a lot of people the other day.
00:26:33.000 We were just kind of hanging out after Amfest.
00:26:35.000 What bothers me the most about the DeSantis thing is not that he's not a good presidential candidate.
00:26:38.000 That's fine.
00:26:38.000 It's hard to be presidential candidate.
00:26:40.000 It's not that he's running a poor campaign.
00:26:41.000 There's been a lot of bad campaigns.
00:26:42.000 Rudy Giuliani ran a bad campaign when he ran for president.
00:26:45.000 No, it's the fact that you're telling us it's a great campaign.
00:26:48.000 That's the problem.
00:26:50.000 Uncoachable, won't take advice.
00:26:53.000 This is the easiest political answer ever, Ron DeSantis.
00:26:56.000 You go on Newsmax and say, you know what?
00:26:57.000 Yeah, until this is what he has to say.
00:26:59.000 Until it gets remedied, I'm not going to participate.
00:27:02.000 Instead, he gives a two-part answer.
00:27:05.000 Oh, you know, no, I qualified for the ballot, but I think the Supreme Court's going to overturn it.
00:27:10.000 How would it be playing into the left's hands exactly?
00:27:13.000 How would it be playing into the left's hands?
00:27:16.000 And by the way, forget the real, it's so politically stupid.
00:27:23.000 Christmas and big family feasts are upon us, but in Washington, there's no bigger turkey than Senate Bill 1339.
00:27:29.000 1339 is Bernie's latest attempt to sneak in a backdoor takeover of more of our health care.
00:27:34.000 It'll handcuff the pharmacy benefit managers who are currently saving millions of Americans an average of $1,040 a year.
00:27:40.000 Bernie is hoping that thousands of your fellow Americans are already going to lowermydrugprices.com to stand up against S-1339, that you'll be too busy making holiday plans or getting ready for a year-end vacation.
00:27:51.000 Don't let this happen.
00:27:52.000 I'm urging you to keep up the pressure against the passage of S-1339 by going to lowermydrugprices.com.
00:27:58.000 The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste says if you don't want a socialized system that takes away your personal health care choices, increases costs, and makes you wait longer to see the doctor that is chosen by the government go today right now to lowermydrugprices.com to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders bill.
00:28:12.000 Remember, we have the momentum, but we need your help today.
00:28:15.000 Portions of this program of the Charlie Kirk Show are brought to you in part by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.
00:28:22.000 Let's go to Cut 53.
00:28:23.000 Joe Scarborough is saying 54% of Americans approve of the Colorado Supreme Court decision, going on to say the poll showed only 24% of Republicans approved of the ruling, Play Cut 53.
00:28:33.000 54% of Americans.
00:28:35.000 Mike, hold on one second.
00:28:36.000 54% of Americans.
00:28:38.000 54% of Americans approve of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to kick Donald Trump off the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot.
00:28:49.000 54% of Americans approve of it.
00:28:53.000 Only 35% of Americans disapprove of it.
00:28:57.000 The survey conducted by YouGov America found that 84% of Democrats, 48% of independents, 48% of independents, and 24% of Republicans approved of the ruling.
00:29:08.000 Hold on.
00:29:08.000 So first, it's probably a fake poll.
00:29:10.000 However, let's pretend it's true for a second.
00:29:12.000 This is why we're not a democracy.
00:29:14.000 This is why the difference between a democracy and a republic is so important.
00:29:18.000 Just because 54% of people don't want Trump on the ballot, that's not the way we do things in this country.
00:29:23.000 Thankfully, we don't strictly and simply do majority opinion.
00:29:27.000 We have laws.
00:29:28.000 We have procedures.
00:29:31.000 And by the way, barely majority opinion, 54%.
00:29:34.000 And why I think that poll might be true is that, yeah, Donald Trump is probably going to lose the national popular vote.
00:29:39.000 The Electoral College is a totally different deal.
00:29:41.000 Now, if you polled that state by state, what would Arizona say?
00:29:43.000 Wisconsin say, Georgia say, be a completely different ballgame.
00:29:46.000 And mind you, they don't.
00:29:48.000 And how do they word the question?
00:29:50.000 Did they know all the facts surrounding it?
00:29:52.000 So I think it's probably a fake poll.
00:29:54.000 It's inflated a little bit.
00:29:55.000 But what's the takeaway, Joe?
00:29:57.000 That it must be true.
00:29:59.000 It must be true because 54% of Americans don't want Donald Trump on the ballot.
00:30:04.000 No, a republic has certain eternal principles that don't change just because 54% of Americans say, I want this.
00:30:13.000 I want that.
00:30:14.000 By the way, what percent of Americans don't want Biden on the ballot?
00:30:18.000 That's an important question.
00:30:20.000 Let's play another piece of tape here.
00:30:22.000 California is going to follow the lead.
00:30:25.000 This is why the Supreme Court needs to step in, play cut 57.
00:30:28.000 When the Supreme Court of Colorado determines in an examination of the facts that Donald Trump is an insurrectionist and therefore is disqualified from being on the ballot, certainly here in California, we have to look at that information and make the same determination here.
00:30:45.000 Okay, so let me show you how this works.
00:30:48.000 You're living through a simulation, not an Elon Musk-style simulation, a political simulation.
00:30:54.000 Part A, a fake January 6th committee puts forward a report where they don't even allow cross-examination of witnesses and they do it in a Soviet show trial way.
00:31:03.000 They issue a report.
00:31:04.000 Part B, billionaire-funded CRU, Citizens for Reform and Ethics in Washington, Norm Eisen.
00:31:13.000 Does that name sound familiar?
00:31:14.000 Norm Eisen, who's one of the founders of Crew, aggressively puts forward these 14th Amendment challenges using the fake January 6th report.
00:31:25.000 Then the Colorado Supreme Court looks at the complaint referencing the January 6th report, where there is no due process, there's no trial, there's no jury to then kick the opposition leader, former president who's super popular, off the ballot, all in the name of democracy.
00:31:43.000 If you feel like you're living in something closer to a third world oligarchy, you are.
00:31:49.000 This is not a way a functioning country operates.
00:31:51.000 A functioning country would laugh, would scoff.
00:31:55.000 These lawyers should be disbarred for putting forward this complaint.
00:32:00.000 These judges should be disbarred.
00:32:02.000 Instead, Kerry Lake's lawyers in Arizona are facing disciplinary action for filing baseless lawsuits.
00:32:10.000 These people should face legal disciplinary action, but they won't because the legal community, like the medical community, like the law enforcement community, like the financial services community, like the tech community, the corporate community, all of them together work in harmony to prioritize power over truth.
00:32:33.000 Truth and justice are the nation's immune response to the bacteria and the virus of lies and corruption.
00:32:45.000 When truth and justice are suppressed, it's like your immune system is suppressed.
00:32:51.000 You are immune compromised.
00:32:53.000 Our country is currently immunocompromised right now because truth and justice fall down and justice follows truth.
00:33:00.000 You can't have justice without truth because then justice just becomes a power grab.
00:33:05.000 The restoration of truth will lead to justice.
00:33:10.000 And you're living through a synthetic simulation of literally involves like 12 people, seven justices, four of who voted against, a couple people at crew, a couple funders, and people on the January 6th committee who want to tell you that you're not allowed to vote for the leading candidate and former president.
