00:01:36.000 Last evening was election day, election night, and we saw the results.
00:01:40.000 We won both of the special elections in Florida, which was terrific, and we fell over 10 points short in the state of Wisconsin.
00:01:47.000 Our Turning Point Action team worked very, very hard.
00:01:50.000 We were outspent, outgunned, outmanned, but they did their very best, but we still fell dramatically short.
00:01:56.000 We are a low prop party.
00:01:59.000 We are the party of welders, electricians.
00:02:02.000 We're a party that is younger.
00:02:04.000 And the older you go up the ladder, the more and more they're moving in the Democrat direction.
00:02:10.000 The older you are, the more likely you are to vote.
00:02:13.000 The wealthier you are, the more likely you are to vote.
00:02:16.000 And both those things now are more likely to go in the Democrat direction.
00:02:20.000 Yesterday, Crawford defeated Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court off-year special election.
00:02:27.000 That means Democrats now control the Wisconsin Supreme Court with a 4-3 majority.
00:02:32.000 They're going to now get rid of two congressional seats in Wisconsin, which means that we'll have a much harder time winning the House of Representatives in 2026.
00:02:43.000 They will also work very hard to repeal voter ID laws, even though there was a passage of a voter ID measure last evening, a little bit of a silver lining. 0.95
00:02:54.000 The voter integrity laws are going to get heavily eroded by this Wisconsin Supreme Court.
00:02:59.000 Also, issues such as men in female locker rooms. 0.99
00:03:03.000 We covered in great detail a 16 year old 200 pound man who is in a female locker room and these young girls are forced to undress next to him while he is rubbing his genitals and they get punished and they get kicked out of class because they are not sensitive enough or accepting enough to be around a naked 200 pound woman. 0.54
00:03:28.000 Boy, who very well might be masturbating next to them.
00:03:32.000 It's a true story happening right there in southern Wisconsin.
00:03:34.000 The Wisconsin Supreme Court very well might come in and rule.
00:03:37.000 The girls must be subject to that humiliation ritual. 1.00
00:03:41.000 So these elections matter.
00:03:43.000 But even though these elections matter, turnout was not nearly high enough amongst Republicans and Trump supporters.
00:03:50.000 Lower propensity voters, the people that showed up in massive numbers for President Trump, many of whom decided to embrace the couch instead of the ballot.
00:03:59.000 Even though voting takes five to ten minutes and you can fill out a ballot or go to a voting station or a voting center near you, many of whom decided to stay at home.
00:04:08.000 Now, I'm not even here to criticize the people who did not show up to vote.
00:04:12.000 I think you made a big mistake.
00:04:14.000 But honestly, the fact you went and voted for Donald Trump back in November shows that you can vote, shows that you can get off the couch.
00:04:20.000 Instead, I want to examine what we need to do as a party in a movement To motivate people.
00:04:27.000 You see, President Trump was able to motivate people.
00:04:30.000 Your local congressman is not able to motivate people.
00:04:33.000 A Supreme Court seat?
00:04:35.000 Your average welder says, why do I care about the Supreme Court seat?
00:04:39.000 It's too abstract.
00:04:41.000 It's too wonky.
00:04:42.000 It's too distant.
00:04:43.000 Where a hyper-college educated, NPR listening, New York Times subscribing voter understands with great detail how this all plays together in a broader chess game to turn the country to the left, to make the country more progressive.
00:05:01.000 Politics is an afterthought for many of our Trump supporters.
00:05:05.000 They have common sense and American values, but they are voters who must be chased.
00:05:09.000 And President Trump did so much of that work for us.
00:05:12.000 And of course, we accompanied that work at Turning Point Action.
00:05:16.000 Democrats have become the college indoctrinated, Institutionalized and government-dependent, high-prop party.
00:05:22.000 They live for politics.
00:05:23.000 Politics is their religion.
00:05:26.000 You may hate President Trump, but he resurrected a dead GOP back to life.
00:05:32.000 Voters who weren't on anyone's data rolls came out of the woodwork to vote for President Trump.
00:05:37.000 Our ideas are better, and they're actually very popular, but we need to match like for like.
00:05:44.000 We need to out-organize Democrats, and we need to match their fundraising advantage.
00:05:48.000 That's a huge problem.
00:05:49.000 And I certainly hope Kash Patel and Dan Bongino do the work to look into the suspicious activity associated to ActBlue.
00:05:56.000 Andy Biggs, a congressman from Arizona who's also running for governor of Arizona, wrote the ActBlue letter to Kash Patel asking for a criminal investigation into ActBlue.
00:06:08.000 I certainly hope that happens.
00:06:10.000 But looking even more broadly and taking a step back, Most voters need to see more action from Congress.
00:06:17.000 Now, I get it.
00:06:18.000 There's a filibuster.
00:06:19.000 I totally understand it.
00:06:21.000 I understand that it's hard to pass bills.
00:06:23.000 But Congress needs to get into gear.
00:06:25.000 Congress needs to show real results to the conservative base.
00:06:30.000 Not just performative congressional hearings.
00:06:34.000 We need to get down into the basics and the details.
00:06:38.000 And we need to start passing bills that will improve the livelihood of the American people.
00:06:43.000 President Trump can only do so much.
00:06:46.000 And we are seeing the southern border completely secured.
00:06:48.000 The greatest success story so far of President Trump's second term is undoubtedly the southern border.
00:06:56.000 It is crickets on the southern border.
00:06:57.000 The invasion is over.
00:06:59.000 People don't even think about it anymore because it is done.
00:07:01.000 Mass deportations are going very well. 1.00
00:07:04.000 We need to get those numbers up even more.
00:07:06.000 The economy?
00:07:07.000 We're not really sure where it's going yet.
00:07:09.000 We got the tariff news and we're keeping our eyes on that.
00:07:11.000 That is Liberation Day.
00:07:13.000 But I have all the confidence that President Trump will be able to drill baby drill and be able to liberate the economy from the prior hostage taking.
00:07:23.000 But we need to prove that when people go out of their way to vote for Republicans, we deliver.
00:07:28.000 When they vote for Republicans, we need to prove that Republicans deliver.
00:07:33.000 Trump is delivering, but voters tell us every single day when we knock on their door in Wisconsin, they say, well, Trump is fighting for me, but Congress is not.
00:07:43.000 So Congress needs to get off their tail right now and start to prove to the American people that they are fighting for us.
00:07:50.000 It is now April 2nd.
00:07:51.000 We are nearing the 100th day of President Trump's second term.
00:07:55.000 Other than the Lake and Riley Act and a debt ceiling hike, what has Congress done so far?
00:08:02.000 Now, unfortunately, the House is out of session right now.
00:08:06.000 I think that's crazy.
00:08:09.000 I understand the argument where, hey, we had to go fill those two Florida House seats to be able to pass these, this big, massive, 100-day reconciliation bill.
00:08:20.000 The Senate only gets two reconciliation bills this year.
00:08:23.000 We get two bites at the apple.
00:08:26.000 The last Congress was basically the least productive ever.
00:08:30.000 But this might break the record, and I'm telling you right now, Mike Johnson, and John Thune, and anybody in Congress, the midterms will go the way of Wisconsin in the entire country if you don't start passing meaningful legislation.
00:08:47.000 In the past, Congress has been unable to pass anything besides spending bills, and we might fall short of that.
00:08:55.000 This is Speaker Johnson, Talking about how a handful of Republicans just joined every House Democrat to take down a rule.
00:09:02.000 Now, I don't want to get too big into- too deep into this.
00:09:04.000 This is about remote proxy voting.
00:09:07.000 I don't even know all the details surrounding it.
00:09:10.000 I'm very much against remote voting.
00:09:12.000 If you can't go be in person to do the job, then don't be a member of Congress.
00:09:17.000 I know the counter argument is, look, Ana Paulina, who obviously is amazing, and Kat Kamek are having children, And don't you want to accommodate their ability to vote and also be with their kids?
00:09:30.000 Of course I do.
00:09:31.000 But you gotta make a choice.
00:09:33.000 You have to go be with your kids, or you have to go serve in Congress.
00:09:36.000 If Congress can vote by proxy, we might as well abolish Congress.
00:09:42.000 Give them offices in their district, and they'll never meet together.
00:09:45.000 There are constitutional questions around it.
00:09:48.000 And because of this situation that unfolded this week, Congress is adjourned.
00:09:54.000 And we're not going to see any results this week because of it.
00:09:57.000 Play cut 209.
00:09:58.000 Well, it's a very disappointing result on the floor there.
00:10:01.000 A handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down a rule.
00:10:06.000 That's rarely done.
00:10:07.000 It's very unfortunate in this case.
00:10:10.000 96% of House Republicans voted against proxy voting because they believe it's unconstitutional and they agreed that it would open a Pandora's box.
00:10:18.000 And so that's what we just saw.
00:10:19.000 Let me just make this clear.
00:10:20.000 That rule being brought down means that we can't have any further action on the floor this week.
00:10:25.000 That means we will not be voting on the SAVE Act for election integrity.
00:10:28.000 We will not be voting on the rogue judges who are attacking President Trump's agenda.
00:10:38.000 All that was just wiped off the table.
00:10:40.000 It's very unfortunate.
00:10:41.000 We'll regroup and come back and we'll have to do this again.
00:10:44.000 So Congress is now out of session because of a dispute about remote voting.
00:10:50.000 Look, of course, we support moms and we support people to raise their kids, but you got to choose either raise your children or serve your constituency in Congress.
00:10:59.000 Maybe try to do both.
00:11:00.000 Maybe bring your kids to Congress.
00:11:02.000 But this proxy voting is a terrible idea.
00:11:06.000 If pain is affecting your life, make 2025 the year of feeling good again.
00:11:11.000 The year of moving better, sleeping better, feeling more alive, and do it with Relief Factor.
00:11:17.000 Relief Factor is a daily supplement that fights pain naturally.
00:11:21.000 It doesn't just mask pain temporarily.
00:11:23.000 Helps reduce or even eliminate it.
00:11:25.000 Over a million people have turned to Relief Factor.
00:11:27.000 Feel the difference it can make in your life.
00:11:30.000 Give their three-week quick start a try.
00:11:33.000 It's only $19.95, less than a dollar a day, and just takes a phone call.
00:11:36.000 Call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:11:38.000 That is 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:11:39.000 Remember, every day you feel better is a day you live better.
00:11:42.000 So wherever you're hurting, back, neck, joints, or muscles, make 2025 the year of feeling good again.
00:11:48.000 Try Relief Factor right now.
00:11:50.000 That is 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:11:51.000 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:11:54.000 So right now, Congress is not in session.
00:11:57.000 Think of all the things Congress should be doing right now.
00:12:00.000 Abolish the Department of Education, ratify Trump's personnel cuts, make more spending cuts to the waste, fraud, and abuse that DOJ has found, and that's just spending.
00:12:10.000 Extend Trump's tax cuts, create no tax on tips, and that's on revenue.
00:12:15.000 And within the legislation, as long as it's primarily spending, you could potentially include small pieces of additional lawmaking.
00:12:22.000 What if Congress gave more money to Border Patrol?
00:12:25.000 Affirm that Trump's interpretation of immigration laws is correct?
00:12:29.000 Or to cut off some of the lawsuits against the administration's deportations?
00:12:34.000 I forget sometimes, do we control Congress right now?
00:12:37.000 Or does Hakeem Jeffries control Congress?
00:12:40.000 Do we control the United States Senate?
00:12:42.000 Now, John Thune deserves some credit.
00:12:44.000 The personnel selection and confirmation in front of the Senate has been going well.
00:12:49.000 John Thune, you've been proving some people wrong and I'm happy to acknowledge it.
00:12:53.000 You've whipped your votes.
00:12:54.000 We got Tulsi.
00:12:55.000 We got Bobby.
00:12:56.000 Good on you, John Thune.
00:12:58.000 Mike Johnson, I gotta tell you, I'm in full agreement with you on the Ana Paulina Luna thing.
00:13:02.000 Ana Paulina's a great friend of mine.
00:13:04.000 She's a Turning Point alumni.
00:13:06.000 I think she's totally off base here.
00:13:08.000 We're gonna just get proxy voting.
00:13:10.000 You might as well just eliminate Congress.
00:13:11.000 And it now has triggered a closure of Congress for this week.
00:13:15.000 But we can have disagreements.
00:13:16.000 It's all spirited.
00:13:17.000 It's good.
00:13:19.000 And by the way, since we're not Congress is doing nothing else.
00:13:22.000 Just the Senate should become an assembly line for every Trump nominee.
00:13:27.000 Fill every judicial slot and fill every appointed position by July 4th.
00:13:32.000 Just get it done.
00:13:33.000 Stay in session on a Saturday to get more appointees in.
00:13:36.000 Do you know?
00:13:37.000 I don't know if you guys knew this.
00:13:40.000 But in the Constitution, it doesn't say you're not allowed to work on a weekend.
00:13:45.000 I know.
00:13:46.000 I know it's like a shocking revelation because Congress Almost never works on a weekend.
00:13:52.000 You know how many of you in this audience have had to work in weekends?
00:13:55.000 I know so many of you right now that are watching and listening.
00:13:58.000 I'm positive many of you have had to work weekends to feed your family, pull a double-double, a double shift of an overnight, a graveyard shift to be able to pay your kids tuition, and yet Congress adjourns because they have a little disagreement.
00:14:12.000 Do you know that Congress skips most Fridays just to fly home?
00:14:17.000 Just to be able to go home and raise more money and do absolutely nothing.
00:14:21.000 It is time for Congress to lean in.
00:14:24.000 One of the major reasons that we lost in Wisconsin is that there is a disconnect for the Trump voter between what Trump is doing and what the Republican Party is doing.
00:14:35.000 And we have to close that disconnect.
00:14:39.000 Congress, you guys have got to get off your tail and start passing bills.
00:14:42.000 You have two reconciliation packages you can pass this year.
00:14:46.000 And allow me to just tell you more ideas of what you should do.
00:14:51.000 Heavily fund Border Patrol.
00:14:53.000 Give ICE what they need.
00:14:55.000 Fortify the wall.
00:14:57.000 Cut all the waste that DOJ has found.
00:15:00.000 Extend the Trump tax cuts past the largest working class tax cut in history.
00:15:06.000 We want a party that is as conservative as its voters.
00:15:12.000 Voters are not going to keep on rewarding Republicans with more House and Senate majorities if they are not going to fight and if they're not going to keep Congress open and if they're not going to pass bills that are in alignment with what the American people voted for and what they want.
00:15:33.000 And we still have a lot of opportunity.
00:15:35.000 There is time left on the clock.
00:15:37.000 These two reconciliation bills could turbocharge the economy, could bring inflation down, which it's already starting to go down.
00:15:45.000 The price of eggs is going down.
00:15:47.000 And we could see the new golden era, the new golden age.
00:15:50.000 President Trump has signed executive order after executive order after executive order.
00:15:55.000 He needs some reinforcements from Congress.
00:15:58.000 And we need to use our new coalition to reach out to the Low-propensity voter.
00:16:06.000 The MAHA voter.
00:16:08.000 Let's play Cut 204.
00:16:09.000 And for the Republicans, you know, it's a party of low-propensity voters now.
00:16:13.000 And so, did any of them actually show up in any of these races in Florida or Wisconsin, or was it largely they just kept doing what they've been doing, which is showing up for Donald Trump and nothing else?
00:16:22.000 In Florida, Democrats burned about $20 million on two congressional campaigns, where both Republicans look like they're gonna get around 57% of the vote.
00:16:32.000 Wisconsin? The voter ID initiative that Donald Trump was heavily involved in, last I saw it was passing at about a rate of 60-40 and voter ID is still a popular thing.
00:16:41.000 There's a bunch of people that voted for a liberal Supreme Court justice and turned around and voted voter ID tonight in Wisconsin.
00:16:46.000 Are conservative values win when they're on the ballot?
00:16:49.000 Affirmative action loses when it's on the ballot in California.
00:16:53.000 DEI loses when it's on the ballot.
00:16:55.000 Voter ID wins when it's on the ballot.
00:16:58.000 Our ideas overwhelmingly win outside of marijuana and abortion.
00:17:02.000 But gun rights win when it's on the ballot. 0.88
00:17:04.000 School choice wins when it's on the ballot.
00:17:06.000 Right to work wins when it's on the ballot.
00:17:08.000 Border security wins when it's on the ballot.
00:17:11.000 Our ideas are very popular.
00:17:13.000 But the Republicans in Congress, you guys better get your act together.
00:17:18.000 Enough chatter.
00:17:19.000 Enough interviews.
00:17:20.000 I told Andrew, no more people in Congress on the show.
00:17:24.000 Go do your job.
00:17:27.000 Hey, Charlie Kirk here.

00:18:29.000 I promise I'm not contradicting myself.
00:18:32.000 I will make an exception to what I said before we signed off.
00:18:35.000 I said no more members of Congress on the show till they do their job.
00:18:37.000 But we're going to have a great man who's a senator who's doing a great job on the show.
00:18:41.000 Joining us now is the great senator from Oklahoma, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.
00:18:45.000 And by the way, I meant the House.
00:18:46.000 We'll still have Senators on.
00:18:48.000 Senator, great to see you.
00:18:49.000 It was great to meet your kids yesterday at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, which really is the wrestling capital of the world.
00:18:58.000 I want to talk a non-political thing for a second here, Senator, and I'm trying to have Ryan pull the tape.
00:19:04.000 Can you, for our audience, inform them how remarkable of a victory it was for Wyatt at the NCAA Championship?
00:19:12.000 I mean, you're a wrestler yourself.
00:19:13.000 I mean, it was one of the most amazing upsets in wrestling history.
00:19:18.000 Just kind of your thoughts here, Senator.
00:19:20.000 Yeah, so I have to, I mean, I know you're not that familiar with wrestling, but Dan Gable, 1970 upset, the famed coach from Iowa was probably the biggest upset.
00:19:32.000 He was undefeated, lost his very last match, undefeated ever, never lost a match in his life.
00:19:37.000 He lost the finals in 1970.
00:19:40.000 That's probably, for most true wrestling fans, that's probably the biggest upset.
00:19:44.000 But Wyatt Henderson, He was, that was the largest upset in our lifetime.
00:19:50.000 I mean, Gable Stevenson was just presumable to, it was presumed to win.
00:19:54.000 I mean, Olympic champion, undefeated NCAA wrestler.
00:19:59.000 Two-time national champion, got drafted into the NFL, went and left college to go to WWE, just a heck of an athlete.
00:20:08.000 And to see, if you understood the backstory of Wyatt, keep in mind, the academies, they don't have a fifth-year senior.
00:20:16.000 So the idea that he was able to wrestle his fifth year was remarkable to begin with.
00:20:23.000 And I'll tell you, we had to work with the Secretary of Air Force closely to do that.
00:20:26.000 I got to meet Wyatt two years earlier, and the President met him two years earlier in Tulsa when he was at the NCAA tournament with us.
00:20:32.000 And I told him then, I said, "Wyatt can And then to see the President of the United States there with him.
00:20:53.000 Now, my two boys that you met yesterday, they're 125-pounder and 133-pounder for Oklahoma State, so they wrestle with Wyatt.
00:21:00.000 Wyatt lived with them during the summer, but to see him win with the President of the United States there, as Wyatt says, my boss is boss's boss, and then to win in that fashion and stand up and salute the President of the United States, that was epic.
00:21:15.000 Remarkable. That's why the dude is called Captain America, and you met him.
00:21:18.000 He's a freak of a human being.
00:21:21.000 He truly is, and just One more point on this.
00:21:25.000 Understand who he defeated.
00:21:27.000 He defeated, I can't remember his name, from Minnesota, who won two national championships before, has not even been taken down since 2019, tried to go to the NFL, tried to go to the WWE, and came back, and then Wyatt upset him.
00:21:42.000 It's one of the more amazing things I've ever seen.
00:21:44.000 He was an Olympic champion.
00:21:45.000 He won the Olympics.
00:21:46.000 He won the gold medal.
00:21:48.000 Yeah, minor detail.
00:21:49.000 He is the Olympic champion, the gold medal recipient.
00:21:53.000 Just remarkable.
00:21:54.000 So, speaking of wrestling tough things down, what is the plan right now in Congress to get the reconciliation bill passed?
00:22:01.000 How do you like that for a segue, Senator?
00:22:03.000 Yeah, so we have to get budget done, and people are going to freak out about the budget, but the budget is just the vehicle to move on to reconciliation.
00:22:11.000 People want to know how we're going to get all the doge cuts.
00:22:13.000 You can't get doge cuts through the budget.
00:22:15.000 The reconciliation is where the doge cuts come in.
00:22:17.000 So we got to get the budget passed first.
00:22:20.000 And the budgets are going to be different between the House and between the Senate.
00:22:24.000 Because of this ridiculous thing called the Byrd Rule that we have to fit things into, the House, they don't have to deal with it.
00:22:30.000 So they, as an example, they can walk through an open garage We have to close the garage door and break the glass out the top of the garage door and crawl through the window because of the crazy bird rule we have to deal with through reconciliation.
00:22:43.000 So we're going to do the Voteroma Friday or Saturday, Friday night or Saturday, start at Saturday, which is just where the Democrats put all these ridiculous amendments on there.
00:22:52.000 People are concerned about the cuts.
00:22:54.000 Mind you, the big differences you're going to have between the House budget and the Senate budget is taxes.
00:23:02.000 The tax plan underneath the House one is they're going over current law, tax law, meaning current law, meaning that all the taxes are going to expire.
00:23:12.000 All the TCGA, what is it, TCGA, whatever, President Trump's tax package from 2017, TCGA, I think is what it's called.
00:23:25.000 Yeah, the Tax Cutting Jobs Act.
00:23:26.000 JA. Yes.
00:23:27.000 That was, what they're wanting to do is they're going to say that, hey, the tax law is going to expire.
00:23:33.000 We're going to add it back on and then we're going to extend it for eight years.
00:23:36.000 What we're saying is that no, we're not going to say it's going to expire.
00:23:39.000 We're going to have current tax policy.
00:23:41.000 We're going to keep the current tax level in place, and then we're going to make it permanent so it never expires.
00:23:48.000 Then they have $1.5 trillion in cuts over 10 years.
00:23:53.000 Our target is $2 trillion in cuts.
00:23:56.000 Now, if you read the budget, which we will be releasing probably tomorrow, It will talk about billions, but billions is on top of making the tax cuts permanent.
00:24:05.000 But because we have to go through the Byrd rule, we have, and I know this is getting wonky, we have to put instructions to the committees on what they're supposed to do.
00:24:15.000 Once we get those instructions, then we set the target date, but we can't do that until after we get the budget passed through reconciliation.
00:24:22.000 Then we do the, then we actually do the target of what we expect each committee to actual cut.
00:24:28.000 Our target is $2 trillion.
00:24:30.000 What Rick Scott is wanting to do is up to $10 trillion, which probably isn't feasible for us to do, but we'll land somewhere in between there.
00:24:37.000 So by the time we're done with reconciliation, we'll cut more than the House budget is.
00:24:42.000 But you just have to be patient with us and make sure that we can get the budget passed, because without the budget passed, we can never get to reconciliation to begin with.
00:24:51.000 So I now want to talk about tariffs.
00:24:54.000 Yesterday I got a lot of questions about tariffs from the Oklahoma faithful saying it's going to hurt farmers and ranchers and the ag business.
00:25:03.000 What is your take on Tariffs Liberation Day and how it affects the great people in the Great Plains in the Midwest of this country?
00:25:10.000 Well, first of all, people support President Trump and understand President Trump is not looking at this like a politician.
00:25:16.000 The reason why we've allowed these countries to take advantage of us is because no one had the stones to stand up to these other countries and quit letting them take advantage of us.
00:25:25.000 We understand that President Trump is looking at this as long term, not just to the next election, but long term.
00:25:30.000 So that's our future economy.
00:25:32.000 We're talking about a generational change in our economy.
00:25:35.000 For the last 40 years, we've allowed, actually the last six years, We've allowed countries to take advantage of our true economy, which is the strongest and the best economy in the world.
00:25:48.000 And what we've done is made these other countries rich.
00:25:51.000 China wouldn't exist if they didn't have access to us. 1.00
00:25:54.000 The president is saying it's time to right the wrong.
00:25:56.000 So yes, there's going to be a little short-term gain or short-term pain, but it's going to be a long-term gain for us in our economy because the president understands the economy better than any other president out there.
00:26:09.000 So let's talk about what's going to happen.
00:26:11.000 When we start talking about reciprocal tariffs, not just tariffs that are one for one.
00:26:16.000 For instance, I use Japan has zero tariffs on American-manufactured vehicles going into Japan.
00:26:25.000 However, you cannot actually buy an American-made vehicle in Japan because of their rules.
00:26:31.000 So even though they have zero tariffs, you cannot find a single dealership in Japan that sells Fords and Chevys.
00:26:38.000 But we have Japan vehicles driving all over our country.
00:26:42.000 So what the president is saying, reciprocal, means not only do you have the same tariff level, but we have the same access to your economy.
00:26:49.000 If you want access to us, we're going to have access to you.
00:26:52.000 If you want free trade with us and free access to our economy, we want free trade with you and access to your economy too, because we know that America can compete and actually beat any other country out there on manufacturing goods.
00:27:06.000 So we're, and for farmers and ranchers, Charlie, I'm a rancher, generational rancher.
00:27:12.000 We've been in our land raising cattle since 1840s.
00:27:17.000 Is the market great?
00:27:19.000 No. Is it wonderful right now?
00:27:21.000 No, but you can talk to any farmer and any rancher out there right now.
00:27:25.000 They're tired of countries like Brazil and like Canada and even Mexico that are subsidizing their farmers and giving them access to our market, which is driving down our prices.
00:27:35.000 So, the liberation day will ensue, and I agree with everything you just said.
00:27:41.000 Final question here, Senator, and I want to make sure we dive into this.
00:27:47.000 The part of the reconciliation package is going to be a domestic tax cut that will make it extremely attractive for foreign investment to come to this country.
00:27:58.000 Talk about how those two things work in harmony together.
00:28:02.000 Well, you got to have regulation reform because regulation can be a tax on the consumer too and tax on a manufacturer.
00:28:08.000 So if we have zero taxes on manufacturers and we have high regulations, it doesn't make any difference.
00:28:13.000 But the world, the developed world average for taxes on corporations, 15%, we're sitting at 21%.
00:28:20.000 Yet people still want to do business with us because they want to have access to our economy.
00:28:24.000 So we have to, we got to hold the taxes for corporations At where they're at.
00:28:28.000 We can't increase.
00:28:29.000 Like Chip Roy wants to increase corporate tax rates.
00:28:31.000 We can't do that because we still got to be competitive.
00:28:34.000 At the same time, we've got to have labor tax rates that are actually favorable too.
00:28:39.000 The Democrats are out there saying that we're going to cut taxes for billionaires and millionaires, all of Donald Trump's buddies, which is false because we're saying we're going to hold tax policy where it currently is.
00:28:53.000 But we're going to deregulate these industries that have been stifled and which has caused them to move out of our country and go into a more favorable regulatory environment and then sell the product back to us.
00:29:07.000 So the president is looking at twofold.
00:29:08.000 One, make taxes permanent.
00:29:10.000 So they're not just simply planning on a four year or eight year term.
00:29:14.000 They actually have a long term term.
00:29:16.000 So we're going to make taxes permanent.
00:29:18.000 We're going to have actually friendly environmental regulations.
00:29:22.000 We're going to We're going to have an environmental or regulatory environment that's going to be conducive to stability in the market without hurting our economy and without hurting our environment.
00:29:31.000 And we're going to streamline it so you know that you can get it built without having to worry about it.
00:29:35.000 That's because we have a president in the office that understands business, and he understands what it takes to bring manufacturing back.
00:29:44.000 So that's why you're already seeing all these Hey, we're investing in you.
00:29:49.000 I had a country the other day call me that they're wanting a very wealthy Middle East country that I've actually became very good friends with with the president there that has said that they're willing to put 1.4 trillion dollars into the U.S. economy.
00:30:05.000 We're going to see an infusion of money the likes of which we've never seen.
00:30:10.000 Senator, thank you.
00:30:11.000 We got to run.
00:30:12.000 Great to see you, Senator.
00:30:13.000 Thanks so much.
00:30:13.000 And I'm sorry to keep you late for for your next meeting.

00:31:29.000 If you want to have a picture in a window And a reminder of what we are up against, and what your kids are learning in public schools and when you send them to college, I'm gonna play you a piece of tape.
00:31:41.000 This guy's the name is, his name is Ellie Mestal.
00:31:44.000 Uh, Ellie Mestal.
00:31:46.000 Kinda looks like Eddie Murphy from that one movie.
00:31:48.000 I'm trying to remember which one it is.
00:31:49.000 Anyway. He's a clown of a philosopher.
00:31:55.000 Nevertheless, if you send your child to college, they are learning this worldview.
00:32:00.000 When you go to college, this is the worldview.
00:32:03.000 That you have to go into debt to learn.
00:32:06.000 This is the predominant viewpoint amongst many Democrat circles.
00:32:12.000 And he's taken very seriously on the view.
00:32:14.000 Listen, oh yeah, he's a very serious person.
00:32:17.000 And it's outright race hatred.
00:32:20.000 Play cut to 17. One of the laws you write about is playing out right now, the Immigration and Nationality Act.
00:32:25.000 What do you make of the administration's use of the act?
00:32:28.000 And more broadly, is Trump really setting up a First Amendment showdown, which is what Whoopi's been talking about?
00:32:34.000 Every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional, right?
00:32:40.000 Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country.
00:32:45.000 Not everybody who lived here could vote here.
00:32:47.000 So why should I give a...
00:32:48.000 About some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s.
00:32:52.000 Look, plain and simple, he hates the country.
00:32:55.000 It's easy to say, oh, you know, white men abolish slavery.
00:32:58.000 Hilariously, though, for Ellie Mistal, you gotta wonder, hey, pal, would you also get rid of the 5th, 6th, and 7th Amendment?
00:33:05.000 But it's much deeper than that.
00:33:07.000 He has disgust and disdain for this nation.
00:33:10.000 He and his Democrat friends want to get rid of it and build a replacement on the ashes.
00:33:16.000 And that replacement will be far worse.
00:33:19.000 A huge amount of the left is just pure, unadulterated resentment.
00:33:26.000 What he can't deny is that America has been insanely successful from the very beginning.
00:33:31.000 Hugely accomplished.
00:33:32.000 The greatest nation in the history of the world.
00:33:35.000 Elie Mistal could never accomplish the things that the greatest Americans did.
00:33:40.000 Having to read about it traumatizes him.
00:33:43.000 He's a loser.
00:33:45.000 A J.B. Pritzker type.
00:33:46.000 Whose entire career is being a race grifter.
00:33:50.000 He probably makes plenty of money, but it's humiliating.
00:33:53.000 And the dark truth is there's a lot of people like Mistal.
00:33:57.000 A lot of people who immigrate to this country while holding nothing but resentment in their hearts.
00:34:03.000 In March 2022, he actually said the United States Constitution is trash.
00:34:09.000 He said, quote, we act like this thing that was enacted in stone by the finger of God.
00:34:14.000 When actually it was hotly contested and debated.
00:34:17.000 Scrawled out over a couple weeks in the summer of Philadelphia in 1787.
00:34:21.000 With a bunch of rich white politicians making deals with each other.
00:34:25.000 Why is it that they hate Elon so much?
00:34:28.000 And they hate President Trump so much?
00:34:31.000 Well it's because they are wealthy white men.
00:34:35.000 It's because they are the archetype of everything that they are told to hate.
00:34:42.000 What's hilarious about his critique is that the Constitution was actually scrawled out over a summer, and despite that, it's vastly better than anything Mistal could ever write.
00:34:52.000 And the Constitution was not written for the times, it was written to stand the test of time.
00:34:57.000 The Constitution has always been the envy of the world.
00:35:00.000 It is a massive human advancement.
00:35:03.000 The hashed-out compromises of Madison and Hamilton live eternally, because they understood human nature.
00:35:10.000 They understood natural law.
00:35:11.000 They knew that our rights come from God, not from government.
00:35:14.000 They were a gift of providence, secured by the blood of the revolutionary generation.
00:35:23.000 It's important to play tapes and clips like this, to remind you what we defeated in November, and what we are up against, because the enemy is coming back to the gates.
00:35:32.000 And Elie Mestal, he can't run very fast, but he can certainly talk very loud.
00:35:37.000 People like him, They want to get your children and to groom them.
00:35:43.000 They want to turn this country and eliminate it and burn it to the ground and we will not let them. 0.99
