The left is waking up. Since the inauguration, even since Election Day, where is the resistance? Where is it? It's not in the streets, it's not on the streets. It's on college campuses. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are starting to wake up. Is it time to wake them up?
00:00:33.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:12.000Go to noblegoldinvestments.com It is a great day in America as we are here live from the imperial capital, Washington, D.C., and it just feels amazing to be driving through this town knowing that President Trump is in the White House.
00:02:37.000Of course there is half the country that opposes what we're doing.
00:02:41.000Of course there is a significant portion of America.
00:02:45.000That wants to see the federal government keep on sending out erroneous checks.
00:02:50.000The left has been poking around and looking for a spark.
00:02:54.000This last weekend, Elizabeth Warren drew 2,000 to 3,000 people in Texas.
00:02:58.000I mean, that's not a game-changer crowd, but it's something.
00:03:03.000Bernie Sanders drew a similar crowd in Wisconsin.
00:03:05.000Speaking of which, Donald Trump Jr. and I will be in Oconomowoc, say that three times fast, on Monday, which is a suburb of Milwaukee, will be having a great town hall.
00:03:18.000These are just some data points that I want you to process.
00:03:21.000It's very tempting to believe that just because the left has been asleep the last couple of months since we knocked them out in November, that they are going to stay asleep.
00:03:34.000Bernie Sanders is probably taking the most potent line of criticism.
00:03:39.000Saying that we must fight the oligarchy.
00:03:41.000Now, of course, the oligarchy that is actually running the country is an unelected deep state bureaucracy sympathetic to the aims, wants, and ambitions of growing the size and scope of government, not the idea of people like Elon Musk.
00:03:56.000But for someone that doesn't quite understand what is happening in D.C. right now, the bipartisan bureaucratic regime that has existed for the last 100 years called the administrative state.
00:05:32.000But the base of the Democrat Party, and the Democrats are trying to build a base-first strategy, as you would expect them.
00:05:39.000The base of the Democrat Party is getting animated and fired up.
00:05:44.000Yesterday, there was a phenomenal announcement from President Trump and Marco Rubio.
00:05:49.000Now, President Trump and Marco Rubio's strategy is they want to first find a singular person to deport and make the case around this person.
00:06:03.000That is on a student visa, supported Hamas, and should be deported back to their country of origin.
00:06:11.000So you're going to now know the name Mahmoud Khalil.
00:06:15.000The left is trying to wake up their rank-and-file troops around this individual.
00:06:21.000The Trump administration has been trying to deport him.
00:06:27.000Again, the idea of these judges coming in and blocking the action of the executive branch, it is an intentional run-out-the-clock strategy.
00:06:39.000The Democrats are trying to use district court and circuit court judges to block President Trump's administration to run out the clock.
00:06:49.000So major protests are now breaking out all over New York City in support.
00:06:55.000They're trying to turn him into a martyr.
00:06:58.000Well, President Trump ran on a promise to fight against the pro-terrorist, anti-Jewish radicalism that has been flourishing on college campuses.
00:07:07.000One of the ways he vowed to do that is by kicking out agitators coming here from abroad to study on our campuses.
00:07:16.000American citizens have strong freedom of speech.
00:07:19.000But there is zero reason that America should be welcoming foreigners from abroad whose chief occupation will be agitating on behalf of American enemies who murder women and children as their primary strategy.
00:07:32.000And that is exactly what Mahmoud Khalil did.
00:07:42.000A former Columbia University graduate student.
00:07:45.000In the words of the New York Times, Khalil was, quote, the public face of protest against Israel.
00:07:51.000He wasn't just some guy that showed up at a rally.
00:07:54.000He was the public front-facing face of what happened at Columbia University.
00:07:59.000What Khalil did went far beyond attending marches or writing op-eds.
00:08:05.000Just this past January, Khalil was in a group that disrupted a Columbia class on Israeli history to attack the country and a professor for, quote, normalizing genocide.
00:08:17.000Khalil collaborated with students who started a tent city on Columbia's campus who illegally took over a campus building, though he didn't participate directly in these events, perhaps to avoid deportation.
00:09:02.000It should only come down to this fundamental question.
00:09:05.000Would you, would we have let this man into our country in the first place, knowing he was a public Hamas propagandist who participates in illegal protests?
00:09:18.000If the answer to that question is no, then that's also a perfectly good justification for revoking his green card.
00:10:00.000You must earn your right into the United States of America.
00:10:04.000And if you were out there at Columbia University fomenting anti-Jewish hatred, fomenting anti-American hatred, you are kicked out of the party.
00:11:35.000My opinion to the administration, my advice, because I will be going to the White House later today and seeing some folks, my advice both publicly and privately is very simple.
00:11:50.000Don't make Mahmoud Khalil the singular martyr here.
00:11:54.000Start rounding up dozens of these people.
00:12:46.000Our enemy is going to come back twice as hard, and we better be prepared.
00:12:50.000They're not just going to roll over and say, here are the keys to the entire country.
00:12:54.000Here's Rashida Tlaib, a very suspicious individual, who says this is a big deal about Mahmoud.
00:13:01.000There is a pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party.
00:13:05.000In fact, I think it might be the entire Democrat Party.
00:13:08.000Now, I don't know if the pro-Hamas strategy is smart for the Democrats long term, but I do think it will absolutely wake up their rank-and-file.
00:13:18.000I think their rank-and-file, the college-educated, white, young liberals of New York, LA, Boston, Portland, and Seattle, they're the same people that would...
00:14:31.000If you believe in constitutional rights, you understand that they're targeting this person, and everyone knows he has been very vocal against the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
00:14:41.000And they're targeting him and refusing him constitutional rights.
00:14:52.000Hilarious to hear Rashida Tlaib all upset about constitutional rights after peaceful January 6th protesters were hunted down by the FBI for the last couple of years, and Siakam Asakwai, who did not go foment rage in favor of Hamas, but instead took a step into the Capitol and step out, had his pregnant wife hunted down by FBI agents at Van Nuys Airport in, or Santa, whichever one it was.
00:16:02.000Thomas Jefferson fought the Barbary Coast Wars, our third American president, and spoke extensively about the medieval savagery of Late 1700s and early 1800s, Islam.
00:16:36.000But the Founding Fathers that would say, you know, let's just go allow the importation of people who hate you.
00:16:44.000What Islam has shown to be in Europe, what Mohammedism has shown to be in Europe, is the rusty sword that is slowly slitting the throat of the West.
00:18:23.000And side note, everybody, Charlie, you and Turning Point done tremendous work.
00:18:27.000Thank you for everything you've done, not just for the country, for President Trump, but really for young people in our country.
00:18:33.000I think it's going to be a bright future ahead for America.
00:18:36.000So, Byron, tell us your agenda of why you are running for governor of Florida, what you hope to accomplish, and your vision for the great state of Florida.
00:18:44.000Well, first, we have a wonderful state, best state in the country by basically every metric that's available.
00:18:51.000So the first thing you want to do is take a great state and make sure it stays that way.
00:18:55.000We have to continue to be number one in the nation and lead the Florida forward and make sure that the United States and everybody else understands that we're the best state governed, period, full stop.
00:19:05.000And the agenda is going to be about making Florida the financial capital of the world, having digital assets be the center point of that, and then build.
00:19:14.000Building around that with some of the financial moves already starting from Chicago and from New York.
00:19:20.000And then also, if you look towards the Space Coast, where we are already seeing major investments into the Space Coast, allowing that to become a tech hub where you continue to build our state.
00:19:31.000It makes our economy far more diverse than what it's been in the past because Florida is no longer a destination state.
00:19:38.000Florida is really an everything state.
00:19:54.000We have to find a way to stabilize costs.
00:19:56.000It's going to mean reexamining some of our reinsurance capital requirements, reexamining cap requirements on insurance carriers, a lot of other things that we're going to have to get into and really figure out how to...
00:20:07.000Synthesize the Florida insurance market so it can become a little bit more affordable for the people of Florida.
00:20:14.000Number three, last but not least, is building off of the stuff that's already been done.
00:20:20.000In our educational system, we are the number one state in the country.
00:20:23.000We're number one when it comes to school choice.
00:20:25.000It's taking those legacies, those victories, and building upon that.
00:20:29.000And one of the things that I want to do is actually create an incubator for AI technologies that can help a student achieve proficiency in math and reading in our state.
00:20:42.000When you look at state test scores, everything is based around being at grade.
00:20:47.000What I want to do is help as many students as possible achieve proficiency and mastery of math and reading and of writing skills because those are going to be the baseload skills every child is going to need in order to be successful in the future of Florida's economy and in the future of the world's economy.
00:21:07.000So let's talk more about just the growth of Florida and the need to have leadership that We'll make Florida probably the center of the planet.
00:21:19.000I mean, there is an opportunity here, Byron, with New York collapsing, with L.A. becoming a massive slum, that Florida could, no exaggeration, Miami and South Florida especially, it could be what John Lennon would say, the center of the world, as New York wants.
00:21:35.000Now, I know you don't want all the same liberal nonsense, but talk about how you think you could get...
00:21:41.000The crypto energy, the finance capital, all to migrate to Miami and to make that the new center of the planet.
00:21:51.000First and foremost, a lot of this movement has already begun.
00:21:55.000And a large part of that is because of how Governor DeSantis managed COVID-19.
00:21:59.000You had people who had the ability to move and say, why would I continue to live in a state like New York, where they take away your liberties, they don't allow you to do business, the regulations are out of control, and they look to Florida, they chose Florida.
00:22:13.000We were open and we were able and we were managing the state through COVID-19.
00:22:16.000And so they've already started that migration, I think.
00:22:19.000As we deal with some of the digital asset stuff here on DC, on Capitol Hill, because digital assets has kind of become a hub in Miami already, what you can do is really focus the...
00:22:33.000I would like to see a crypto exchange in Florida.
00:22:36.000So that way you have a center hub of that.
00:22:39.000Because Miami is already an international hub for Central and South America, it allows more capital to flow to our state.
00:22:47.000And the last piece of that is, and as Donald Trump is successful with his economic agenda, you're going to see more onshoring and nearshoring of manufacturing.
00:22:56.000When I say nearshoring, you're talking about Central America, you're talking about South America.
00:23:03.000For all of those things, I'd say the last piece of that is intentionality.
00:23:07.000I think if you have an intentional focus to make it the financial hub of the world, now you start looking at Chicago and New York and you're saying, why would you live under that tax regime, that regulatory regime, states that are not safe, when you can be in Florida where we're going to keep you safe,
00:23:43.000I would liken it a lot more to what California used to be.
00:23:50.000California used to be the golden state.
00:23:52.000It used to be the benchmark of the country.
00:23:56.000Florida's the benchmark, and if we focus our energies on bringing finance and the tech space to Florida, we will only continue to grow while maintaining the conservative principles that got us there.
00:24:08.000So I want to ask you something, Byron, that you mentioned during our dinner on Sunday that should have received more news.
00:24:16.000You went to Selma, and you were the only...
00:24:19.000I believe Republican kind of part of that delegation.
00:24:22.000Bring our audience into the room of what you learned there, why you visited, and the importance of your visit.
00:24:29.000It was the 60th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
00:24:36.000For people who don't know a lot of civil rights history, there was a march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
00:24:43.00060 years ago that was led by former Congressman John Lewis when he was a civil rights activist.
00:24:48.000I think he was 25 years old when he organized that march.
00:24:52.000And when they were crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge to go to Montgomery, Alabama, which is the capital.
00:24:59.000They were met by state troopers, and essentially they were beat up by state troopers, and that's why it's called Bloody Sunday, because they bled on the bridge.
00:25:09.000And so I went there really to pay homage to the activists that were fighting for the right to vote for Black Americans in Alabama, and frankly, all through the segregated South.
00:25:22.000Being there, I felt, was important because a lot of times what's happening today is the assumption is that civil rights history does not include Republicans.
00:25:30.000That could be the furthest thing from the truth.
00:25:32.000The federal judge in Montgomery, Alabama, Judge Johnson, he was the judge who was a Republican, appointed by Republicans, that actually started to undo the state laws around Banning Black people from being able to sit anywhere on the bus, banning white-only countertops, banning white-only water fountains.
00:25:53.000So I felt it is important that not just myself, but any Republican, it's important to be a part of these trips because the history of civil rights in America is a history of where Republicans were the ones who were fighting for civil rights in each one of the Civil Rights Acts that were passed, in the Voting Rights Act that was passed, predominantly Republicans.
00:26:15.000And then also, activists on the ground, many Republicans were on the ground fighting for civil rights.
00:26:21.000It was really an honor to be there and commemorate something that is a part of American history.
00:26:27.000So, Byron, I know you've got to dash in a second.
00:26:29.000Tell us about the CR, how you are thinking about it.
00:26:33.000Are you going to vote in favor or not?
00:26:35.000And make the case to our audience, because I will be honest, I know you feel this, Byron, because you're in the grassroots right now running for governor of Florida.
00:27:10.000The real game up here is budget reconciliation.
00:27:13.000If we can get the budget reconciliation bill done, that's the president's agenda mirrored with...
00:27:19.000Spending cuts that are going to be important to get our debt and deficits to begin to get them under control.
00:27:25.000I mean, we're not even fully getting them under control, but that's the starting place.
00:27:28.000That's going to be the best that we can achieve out of the current environment.
00:27:33.000I think as frustrated as people are, understand Democrats in the Senate, we need six or seven of them to vote.
00:27:39.000For anything when it comes to spending, they want to be able to still carve out a lot of these spending monstrosities, which is why I think the leadership couldn't negotiate the appropriations bill.
00:28:35.000If pain is affecting your life, make 2025 the year of feeling good again, the year of moving better, sleeping better, feeling more alive, and do it with Relief Factor.
00:28:46.000Relief Factor is a daily supplement that fights pain naturally.
00:28:49.000It doesn't just mask pain temporarily.
00:29:19.000That is 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF. Okay, there is this show that is called Love is Blind.
00:29:28.000I don't quite understand the premise of it, why they're having their wedding be filmed, what kind of crazy people would do this, and then she walks away at the altar.
00:29:37.000Anyway, so apparently the whole shtick of this...
00:29:40.000This TV show, which people voluntarily spend their time to watch, which is if you're watching shows like this, you need to make major life adjustments.
00:29:49.000So apparently, the way it works is that these people don't see each other in person for the first while, and you propose without seeing the other.
00:29:59.000That doesn't make any sense to me, to be perfectly honest.
00:30:57.000Anyway, all that being said, there's a very viral clip that is awfully instructive of a crazy white liberal woman, which, by the way, men, let me just give you some dating advice and life advice.
00:33:52.000Issues that came up was the issue of gay marriage and there was a particular time in your time together where you said you couldn't remember your church's stance on gay marriage.
00:34:02.000You simply couldn't remember or was it maybe that you just didn't want to acknowledge the reality of your church's stance on gay marriage?
00:34:09.000Yeah, it was honestly that I didn't remember because I didn't ever need to know because there wasn't really anyone in my life that it really pertained to and it wasn't something on my head and I'm not proud of it.
00:34:22.000It's something that I was, you know, as I grow older, I knew I needed to grow into.
00:34:26.000And so that's probably why I try to go to church every weekend.
00:34:31.000So, you know, the sermon that Sarah watched, I don't remember because maybe I wasn't there or maybe it just didn't, you know, hit home to me because it wasn't something that was in my life at the time or whatever it may be.
00:35:09.000By the way, do you know the hilarity of this is that if he would have taken a stand for traditional marriage and Christianity, he would have like 55,000 dating inquiries right now from wonderfully pious, single Christian women that are far more pleasant than the blonde Rachel Maddow that he was going to go marry.
00:36:19.000Is that they're both what's wrong with America.
00:36:22.000Not just the woman, but the man even more so.
00:36:27.000Because her views very well could change if she had a man to lead her.
00:36:33.000The reason why she believes all that stuff is she's never encountered a strong man.
00:36:37.000She's never encountered a strong man to course correct her.
00:36:41.000It's the problem with left-wing feminism is it's all just a bunch of women sitting in a circle talking about their feelings and not a man with masculine energy course correcting the error to introduce truth.
00:36:52.000And finally, to the audience watching this show, if you watch reality TV, you need to repent and you need to stop doing that.
00:38:10.000And if his pastor was actually good, it would have rubbed off on him to then become a leader in the community, which then would have stood up for truth in this ridiculous game show.
00:38:23.000And finally, you go to church all the time and you're on this reality TV show.
