00:01:51.000 And right out of the gate, we have a special treat for you.
00:01:53.000 Somebody in very, very high demand.
00:01:55.000 Somebody that I went to the mat for.
00:01:57.000 We definitely had a very eventful week together.
00:02:00.000 But you don't always get what you want.
00:02:01.000 And he is a great American patriot and someone I'm excited to talk to today.
00:02:07.000 Matt, welcome to the program.
00:02:08.000 Matt, I know this last week was a roller coaster for you.
00:02:11.000 How are you holding up, Matt?
00:02:12.000 I'm great.
00:02:13.000 I am so excited about where this transition stands.
00:02:16.000 And I know there are people disappointed that I won't be the next Attorney General.
00:02:19.000 But you have to understand, this is the political process.
00:02:22.000 And sometimes the path you're on Is one that takes you to a different place and it could be a glorious place.
00:02:29.000 My good friend Pam Bondi is going to be a phenomenal Attorney General for Donald Trump.
00:02:34.000 She has the legal acumen.
00:02:36.000 She hates criminals. 1.00
00:02:37.000 She is a bright legal mind and a fellow Floridian.
00:02:42.000 I think that even though the path will take me to a different station in life and a different place to fight for our agenda and President Trump, we've got a great person in place and I enjoyed the time on the Hill, frankly, talking with senators and we had great momentum.
00:02:58.000 When people got to hear my vision for the Department of Justice, taking out the weaponization, implementing the President's immigration agenda, changing the Office of Civil Rights to actually fight for the free speech on college campuses that so many of your viewers and listeners care about, attacking the precursors to fentanyl and dismantling the censorship industrial complex, that's exactly the work that Pam Bondi is highly qualified to do.
00:03:23.000 And again, while our discussions were going well, I found myself having to do two jobs at one time, Charlie, and you got a front row seat to this.
00:03:31.000 I had a full-time job explaining to senators that maybe a tweet I sent about them was rash and not reflective of how I would serve as Attorney General.
00:03:41.000 And at the same time, I was having to build out the Department of Justice with the right human talent, the right policy infrastructure.
00:03:49.000 And Pam Bondi's confirmation won't have some of the sharp edges that mine would have.
00:03:55.000 It won't take the same long process.
00:03:58.000 So A.G. Bondi will be able to start implementing those Trump policies right away.
00:04:03.000 So we're ready on day one.
00:04:06.000 We remember that it was the Department of Justice with Sally Yates on day one of the last Trump administration where a lot of our agenda was scuttled, where they started the whole Russia hoax nonsense, where they limited the president's ability to do what was necessary on some immigration fronts.
00:04:22.000 And so with Pam Bondi ready on day one, we're going to be so much more successful.
00:04:26.000 And now you and me and the rest of the America First Army, we're going to get right back to work Scouring for talent.
00:04:35.000 And you and I have been very involved at Mar-a-Lago at finding patriotic Americans who want to do incredible service, not for themselves, for the country, and putting them in a position to succeed.
00:04:46.000 So I might not lead the league in scoring in the upcoming few months, but I want to lead the league in assists.
00:04:52.000 I want to help you find those great folks, get them in great position, and see that President Trump is a historically successful president.
00:04:59.000 So, Matt, I want to build that out and continue to go into that.
00:05:03.000 But first, I just want to address some of the speculation.
00:05:05.000 Some people say it was, you know, the House ethics report.
00:05:08.000 Some people say that there were five immovable senators.
00:05:11.000 I just want to briefly touch on this, Matt, because there was so much media nonsense around it and lies about you and your character.
00:05:19.000 And I was out there defending every single day.
00:05:21.000 I just want you to have an opportunity to address that.
00:05:24.000 Once and for all, we can kind of put this to rest.
00:05:27.000 Matt, what happened here?
00:05:29.000 Yeah, there is a play that is run in Washington when they're trying to smear somebody.
00:05:34.000 And they go and dredge up false, years-old allegations of the most salacious and clickbait-y flavor possible.
00:05:46.000 And in this case, those allegations were coming from sources that Merrick Garland's DOJ had already deemed not credible.
00:05:56.000 Like, if the things that the House ethics report were true, I would be under indictment and probably in a prison cell.
00:06:02.000 But of course, they're false.
00:06:04.000 Because when you test them against other records, when you test them against other testimony, it all falls apart very quickly.
00:06:12.000 But I was dealing with a politically motivated body They didn't like me because of what I did to Kevin McCarthy.
00:06:18.000 All of them were handpicked by Kevin McCarthy.
00:06:20.000 They had an axe of crime.
00:06:21.000 So that was going to serve as at least enough of a basis to delay my confirmation as Attorney General.
00:06:29.000 And I could have answered all those questions.
00:06:31.000 I could have engaged in a months-long fact battle, but we don't have months to go through that.
00:06:36.000 We've got to have an AG ready to go day one to implement the immigration agenda and work on the other key policy deregulatory objectives of the president.
00:06:46.000 Then as it relates to where the Senate was, Charlie...
00:06:50.000 Look, there were senators that had not gotten to yes.
00:06:52.000 And what I can tell you is the movement was unidirectional.
00:06:55.000 The more I got to talk to senators, the more they started to understand that these priorities of mine would bring the country together.
00:07:03.000 They would get the Justice Department back on track.
00:07:06.000 And frankly, they're going to be the priorities of the Trump administration.
00:07:09.000 Under a fantastic Attorney General, Pam Bondi.
00:07:12.000 I know what an immigration hardliner Pam Bondi is. 1.00
00:07:15.000 I know that she's got no tolerance for the censorship.
00:07:18.000 I know that she actually was part of the election integrity infrastructure in Florida that became the model for the country, and she can deliver that election integrity through our civil rights division.
00:07:29.000 So it was more a matter of pace than anything, and the pace was just going to be too long for me.
00:07:36.000 And with someone like Pam that we can put right there in that spot, we're going to be far more successful as an administration.
00:07:43.000 So Matt, I now have to ask about just what your plans are.
00:07:46.000 And it's okay if you have to punt on it because you might not know.
00:07:51.000 It's important to know you resigned from this Congress, not the next Congress.
00:07:56.000 Our audience is 100% behind Matt Gaetz, by the way.
00:07:58.000 They are very, very upset that you are not able to get all the way to Attorney General.
00:08:04.000 I have to ask, what is next for Matt Gaetz?
00:08:07.000 I'm still going to be in the fight, but it's going to be from a new perch.
00:08:11.000 I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.
00:08:14.000 There are a number of fantastic Floridians who've stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service.
00:08:23.000 And I'm actually excited to see Northwest Florida go to new heights and have great representation.
00:08:30.000 Charles, I've been in an elected office for 14 years.
00:08:32.000 I first got elected to the State House when I was 26 years old, and I'm 42 now.
00:08:37.000 And I've got some other goals in life that I'm eager to pursue with my wife and my family.
00:08:42.000 And so I'm going to be fighting for President Trump.
00:08:46.000 I'm going to be doing whatever he asks of me, as I always have.
00:08:49.000 But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress.
00:08:55.000 You know, in Florida, our voters got to vote on term limits for state government.
00:08:59.000 And the campaign was eight is enough.
00:09:02.000 And so you can only do eight years in the Florida House of Representatives.
00:09:06.000 And so it seems like a pretty poetic time to allow that great new blood to come in, to allow my district to have high quality representation.
00:09:17.000 And don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
00:09:19.000 I'm not taking off for like, you know, a tropical excursion for the rest of my life.
00:09:24.000 I am here to help save this country.
00:09:26.000 And one thing you know, the great patriots at Turning Point know, we need people at every level.
00:09:31.000 We need brilliant lawyers on the outside.
00:09:34.000 We need tough congressmen and congresswomen on the inside. 1.00
00:09:37.000 We need a leadership structure under President Trump that's going to allow for durability of our movement and the ability to continue to This great realignment of our politics.
00:09:48.000 And so I'll play a part in that.
00:09:50.000 I plan to be a big voice, but maybe not as an elected member of the government.
00:09:54.000 Matt, you say here in your tweet, I look forward to continuing to fight to save our country, just maybe from a different post, American flag.
00:10:01.000 So I guess we'll just wait and see.
00:10:03.000 Is that fair to say, Matt?
00:10:04.000 Yeah, I think that we've got a lot of work to do within the Trump administration to find other great folks for great things.
00:10:12.000 I'm going to play a key role in that.
00:10:13.000 And you know what?
00:10:14.000 I'm going to have a lot more to say about this in Arizona at AmericaFest.
00:10:18.000 I'm going to be speaking there.
00:10:19.000 That's what I'm talking about.
00:10:20.000 It's time I can give a speech without the constraints of public service on me, so you won't want to miss it.
00:10:28.000 The last couple of years have been very tough on people economically.
00:10:32.000 A lot of good folks have gotten into horrible debt just to survive.
00:10:34.000 Some of you are paying 20-30% on your credit card debt and drowning in those monthly bills.
00:10:40.000 If you own your own home, did you know that refinancing that home can help get you help right now?
00:10:45.000 I can hear it now, but Charlie, I have a 3.5% rate and I can't refi.
00:10:50.000 Don't be a slave to the rate.
00:10:51.000 Talk to my good friends Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian.
00:10:54.000 Let them crunch the numbers for you and show you.
00:10:56.000 I've used them.
00:10:57.000 They're amazing.
00:10:57.000 I can't say enough good stuff about them.
00:10:59.000 You can consolidate and pay off all your debt, lower your payments, save thousands in interest, and possibly even pay your home off sooner.

00:11:20.000 Matt, I want to get your thoughts on this.
00:11:22.000 There's a lot of rumors swirling about who might run the FBI next.
00:11:26.000 One of the names that is being discussed is Mike Rogers, who was unsuccessful in his Senate bid in the state of Michigan.
00:11:34.000 Last night, Andy McCabe, who we all know is the worst of the worst, endorsed Mike Rogers to become FBI director.
00:11:43.000 Andy McCabe went on Andy McCabe has endorsed Mike Rogers.
00:11:56.000 How should we think about this, Matt Gaetz?
00:11:58.000 Well, I thought I had the worst day for prospects of serving in the Department of Justice, but if Andy McCabe endorsed Mike Rogers and that information gets to President Trump, and I suspect it will, I don't think it will do very well for Mike Rogers' case.
00:12:12.000 I was for Mike for Senate.
00:12:14.000 It's unfortunate that he ran a few points behind the president and didn't prevail there, but I think that Mike Rogers will be asked really tough questions from some of the civil libertarians in the Republican conference about just how robust the surveillance state should be.
00:12:29.000 We've seen the surveillance state weaponized against Republicans and Democrats alike.
00:12:33.000 We've seen the Constitution torn asunder in the desire to allow the FBI to be very snoopy.
00:12:40.000 And Mike Rogers has been a champion for the most aggressive actions in that respect.
00:12:46.000 And I think that President Trump wants to see more reform there probably than Mike Rogers does.
00:12:51.000 Let's play cut 82. Yeah, this is Mike Rogers, some of his thoughts on President Trump.
00:12:57.000 Play cut 82. I don't believe today as I'm sitting here that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. Don't believe it.
00:13:05.000 I don't think it's helpful for the President of the United States to attack the media.
00:13:08.000 It's petty, and it's certainly below the stature of the office of the President of the United States.
00:13:12.000 It's beneath the office in and of itself.
00:13:15.000 Actions and activities unbecoming of the office of the President of the United States.
00:13:19.000 I don't want to spend too much time on your valuable time, Matt, on this, but it seems as if he's not exactly a fan of President Trump and him becoming FBI director.
00:13:29.000 I think his odds are decreasing in real time.
00:13:31.000 In closing here, Matt, we have a mandate.
00:13:34.000 We have a mandate to fix the DOJ and fix the FBI. You mentioned some of this previously, but what are some of the other things that you had to really think about this last week, Matt?
00:13:44.000 You had to really go into planning mode because you were the Attorney General-designate.
00:13:50.000 What specific items did you come up with in the last week as you went through these briefings and these transition meetings that you want to share with our audience of action items for Pam Bondi, Todd Blanch, and the incoming Department of Justice team?
00:14:04.000 There's going to be a lot of self-deporting at the Department of Justice.
00:14:07.000 That was happening when I was the Attorney General-designate.
00:14:10.000 I'm sure it will continue with Pam Bondi because people know that reform is coming.
00:14:14.000 We're not going to be doing things the same way we used to do them.
00:14:17.000 And so you're going to have a lot of positions to And one of the most important things for us to do is get really bright lawyers, not from just inside the beltway of Washington, but from the great DA offices around the country, from state attorneys general, who have people who feel that call to come and help us reclaim the Department of Justice as a valued institution constrained by the Constitution, not as the enforcement wing of the political left in the country.
00:14:44.000 And we've seen that under both President Trump and President Biden, it must change.
00:14:48.000 The other thing is a bit granular, but I think people will understand it.
00:14:51.000 When you have the recalcitrants who dig in and want to do things like change FISA applications illegally and fraudulently to ensnare President Trump or other Republicans, you have to put those people on the line.
00:15:04.000 You have to take those people out of their big cushy offices in the Kennedy building or in the Hoover building, and you've got to send them out into the field prosecuting crimes in Indian country or working in litigating sections of the department.
00:15:17.000 And if you do that, I think some of the folks who prefer to play politics than follow the facts in the law will indeed leave the Department of Justice, creating more opportunity for those patriotic Americans that we've discussed.
00:15:31.000 Also, there has to be a real effort from the Office of Personal Management from the very, very beginning to figure out who was breaking the law with FISA and then fire those people.
00:15:41.000 When Inspector General Horowitz, who was appointed by Obama, reviewed their conduct, they were breaking the law 38 times an hour.
00:15:48.000 They were spying on their ex-lovers, their neighbors, their spouse's co-workers, and the people that did that, if they are fired for cause, then it will have a very cleansing and therapeutic effect throughout the department.
00:16:01.000 Very quickly, what is your advice to Tulsi Bobby that you learned this last week that they should know to get across the finish line?
00:16:08.000 Spend as much time with senators as possible.
00:16:10.000 My best moments were with some of my harshest critics because when you lay out your plans and your agenda, how that's all going to fit together in great ways with the administration, senators will move.
00:16:21.000 So don't give up on them.
00:16:23.000 Work them hard and really have detailed plans.
00:16:27.000 I didn't have senators asking me about anything other than the vision of the department and everyone should follow that advice.
00:16:33.000 Matt Gaetz, big things are coming for you.
00:16:35.000 I know it.
00:16:36.000 Thanks so much.
00:16:39.000 As always, you can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:16:41.000 I want to dive deeper into President Trump's policy agenda, and joining us now is a great friend and warrior for liberty, Brooke Rollins, founder and CEO of America First Policy Institute.
00:16:52.000 Brooke, great to see you.
00:16:53.000 Oh my goodness, Charlie Kirk.
00:16:55.000 How have we not ever done this before?
00:16:57.000 I mean, you've been like my buddy for a decade, and I'm not taking it personally, but I'm really glad I'm on with you this morning.
00:17:03.000 Well, we're going to make up for a lost time, Brooke, and you've been so good to me and to Turning Point.
00:17:08.000 So let's start with the breaking news.
00:17:09.000 Pam Bondi has been very involved with AFPI the last couple of years.
00:17:13.000 Tell us about this excellent selection of Pam Bondi as Attorney General.
00:17:18.000 Well, listen, Pam Bondi, I just, in fact, just got off the phone with her to get onto your show.
00:17:24.000 She helped us.
00:17:25.000 In the very dark days, Charlie, there weren't a lot of us that were still in the MAGA, America First, Donald Trump, you know, keep marching forward world, early 2021. A lot of people thought the movement was dead.
00:17:37.000 We, of course, knew better.
00:17:38.000 But Pam Bondi, from the moment we even discussed putting together a massive new effort that is founded on the first term of President Trump's policy wins, for the next 100 years, Pam was there.
00:17:51.000 She is a warrior. 0.90
00:17:53.000 She built our litigation team.
00:17:54.000 Of course, her time in Florida as Attorney General, she was tough. 0.99
00:17:58.000 She was smart.
00:17:59.000 But she was beloved.
00:18:01.000 I mean, she is the epitome of the America First movement, and she's going to crush it as AG. Yeah, and the liberals, the left, they're losing their mind. 0.95
00:18:10.000 I want to play this from MSNBC yesterday and get your reaction, Brooke.
00:18:15.000 Just this outrageous reaction from, I think it's Ari Melber and, you know, they're not having a good couple of weeks and it's not going to get better.
00:18:23.000 Play cut 80. Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear because she's competent. 1.00
00:18:30.000 We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job. 0.71
00:18:34.000 So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that'll give us some time.
00:18:41.000 No, Pam Bondi knows what she's doing.
00:18:43.000 She knows what she's doing about immigration.
00:18:45.000 Remember, Florida is one of those states that's been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and everything else like that.
00:18:51.000 Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money.
00:19:01.000 She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that's, frankly, worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz, even with the deplorable moral background that he has.
00:19:10.000 Yeah, and I want to discuss that with a little more depth with both of you, including her record on civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and other issues that are front and center at the DOJ, in which we know were also big campaign issues this cycle.
00:19:23.000 Brooke, I mean, I can't think of a better endorsement, Brooke Rollins.
00:19:27.000 I can't believe for the first time in the history of all time, I actually agree with someone on MSNBC. Like, this is a banner day for a lot of different reasons.
00:19:38.000 But listen, they're right.
00:19:39.000 They're completely right.
00:19:40.000 She is competent.
00:19:41.000 She knows what she's doing.
00:19:42.000 She was one of the most, if not the most successful state attorney general.
00:19:46.000 And Charlie, you and I have long so believed that the states really are the guardians at the gate.
00:19:51.000 And that, you know, coming up through the state process and building a book of business and policy wins in the states is really perhaps the best way to prepare for a big job like Attorney General.
00:20:05.000 I think this is maybe his most important pick.
00:20:08.000 Others may disagree with that, but I think, you know, Treasury, commerce, education, those are all extremely important, game-changing positions.
00:20:16.000 But this position, Attorney General, I believe could be the most important, and I think he's got an absolute winner in Pam Bondi.
00:20:25.000 What happens when the power's out, your phone says no service, and the grid is down?

00:21:13.000 Let's go through just quickly some of the policy.
00:21:15.000 What would you like to see the Department of Justice do from a policy perspective?
00:21:21.000 We're obviously going after child sex trafficking, cracking down on illegal immigration.
00:21:26.000 What policies would you like to see the Department of Justice focus on?
00:21:31.000 Listen, the two you just mentioned are top of the list, but for me, we have a once in a lifetime, perhaps once in a country's history time, an opportunity to de-weaponize government.
00:21:46.000 We all know this, right?
00:21:47.000 We turn into a banana republic. 0.97
00:21:49.000 President Trump was facing almost a thousand years in prison for some documents.
00:21:54.000 I mean, this was insanity.
00:21:55.000 They tried to put him in jail.
00:21:57.000 They tried to impeach him. 0.99
00:21:58.000 They tried to kill him.
00:21:59.000 And so the DOJ and what Pam will eventually lead, pending Senate confirmation, which I see no problem there, is the absolute...
00:22:09.000 Most important thing, I think, that the Department of Justice and one of the most important things I think that this next administration must tackle and win, and that is taking the government out and getting the weaponization out of our government.
00:22:22.000 And that's what I think Pam will lead, and I think she'll be very successful.
00:22:25.000 So I want to kind of go around the horn here, but I want to play one more piece of tape here of Pam Bondi's record when it comes to illegal immigration, which again, the Department of Justice has been like a sister agency for the open borders agenda. 0.79
00:22:41.000 If she was Attorney General of Florida, she would go after illegal migrants that were coming into Florida, and the Department of Justice plays a very important role there.
00:22:51.000 I don't think we have that tape, but let's just broaden it more, Brooke.
00:22:54.000 Brooke, what would you say of the other personnel and policy positions that President Trump has selected?
00:23:01.000 Let's go around the horn. 0.95
00:23:02.000 From Bobby Kennedy to Linda McMahon to Tulsi Gabbard, what is your analysis of the team that President Trump is assembling?
00:23:10.000 Well, first, and into the original thought, the mass deportation, the securing our borders, I mean, to keep America, that is absolutely top of the list. 0.90
00:23:22.000 I think that Tom Homan with Kristi Noem and others are going to do a great job.
00:23:25.000 But to your point, Charlie, you're always right, that that partnership with the DOJ is going to be absolutely paramount to being able to Going around the horn, you know, I've been talking a lot about the election of 1800 when there was a massive inflection point, right?
00:23:42.000 George Washington said, I'm going to step away.
00:23:44.000 No one could believe it.
00:23:45.000 No one had ever walked away from power before.
00:23:47.000 Thomas Jefferson won that race.
00:23:49.000 You then fast forward to the 1860-64 with Abraham Lincoln and his team of rivals, another inflection point in American history.
00:23:57.000 Then you move into the 1920s, FDR, 1930s, another inflection point Well, Charlie, in 500 years, they're going to talk about 2024 as the fourth inflection point in American history and perhaps the point that saved America and our founding father's vision of the Constitution and freedom and liberty.
00:24:17.000 And so the team that he has assembled, from the incredible Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, I know, Charlie, you've been such a big part of that, the Doge effort, too, the Tulsi Gabbard, the John Ratcliffe, the Bobby Kennedy.
00:24:30.000 I mean, whoever...
00:24:31.000 Charlie, when you and I started working together a decade ago, I'm not sure that we certainly would have dreamt of a moment like this, but I'm not sure that either one of us could have ever hoped for this sort of team of rivals, of game changers, of transformational figures all coming together to meet the moment, to live in this miracle that we find ourselves in, the big win from two weeks ago, but now the most important part, the opportunity to really govern and take our country back.
00:25:00.000 It's remarkable.
00:25:01.000 We're living in the middle of history.
00:25:02.000 We truly are.
00:25:04.000 I want to dive even deeper into this because the policy side of this is incredibly important.
00:25:09.000 I know you focus this primarily at AFPI. What can be done day one from fulfilling some of these campaign mandates?
00:25:18.000 I know you've done a lot of this work from day one executive orders and personnel as policy.
00:25:23.000 Educate our audience on what we can do day one to hit the ground running.
00:25:27.000 Well, in answering that, let me take us back in just a little bit of a historical walk.
00:25:34.000 You know, Charlie, the fourth year.
00:25:35.000 I was with the president for three years in the last White House.
00:25:38.000 I managed a lot of big projects, but the last year I was his domestic policy chief and really spent a good part of that year mapping out his second term.
00:25:46.000 So I knew that November 3rd was the election, fully expected the win, November 4th, Term 2 would begin, and we were going to be, for the first time, incredibly organized and intentional and strategic.
00:25:57.000 More tax cuts, a more secure border, you know, all the things that we had finally begun to figure out in that first term.
00:26:03.000 Well, as we know, that contiguous second term did not happen.
00:26:07.000 So as we were dealing with what was a taken election from President Trump in 2020 to January 6th, which a lot of darkness had descended into Washington and onto the America First movement, In my heart, I knew that if we could keep the momentum, if we could build an organization, if we could have a 100-year plan that was based on the winning of the policy in that first term, no more Republican establishment, Republican business as usual.
00:26:37.000 This was the new way forward.
00:26:39.000 And in so doing, we would build a massive tent of new people that Charlie, youth, you know, Black, Hispanic, etc.
00:26:47.000 So we built an entire effort around that first term.
00:26:50.000 But what I was really working to do is, no matter who the next America First president was, in that January of 2021, we would begin building in preparation for that day.
00:27:00.000 Hopefully in four years from 21, but if it was eight years or 12 years, we would be ready.
00:27:06.000 The Democrats are always ready.
00:27:07.000 And our side kind of shows up and we're like, oh, we're governing now.
00:27:10.000 What do we do now?
00:27:12.000 That that would never happen again.
00:27:14.000 So for almost three-plus years, very quietly under the radar, we never talked to press about it, we had almost 950 former Trump administration officials quietly writing the agency plans, preparing the 300 executive orders, making sure that we had the rules and regulations organized and ready.
00:27:34.000 And so obviously tracking with the president.
00:27:38.000 Every time at a rally, he'd say, on day one, This is what we're going to do.
00:27:42.000 We would write it down and begin mapping out how to actually achieve that in every single lane of policy.
00:27:48.000 So what a joy now to see that hopefully a lot of that work is used, maybe most of it, but I think that we're going to be ready in a way, and the president is going to have one of the most remarkable, if not the most remarkable, four years in American history.
00:28:04.000 I love it.
00:28:05.000 Brooke, thank you so much for all of that.
00:28:07.000 And the personnel is policy.
00:28:09.000 As we build the personnel team, policy will be implemented.
00:28:13.000 Please share the website one last time, Brooke, for our audience.
00:28:16.000 AmericaFirstPolicy.com and RC4, America First Works, which is taking the policy alongside Turning Point Action into every corner of the country as we keep building the winning machine for the future.
00:28:28.000 Brooke, love working with you.
00:28:29.000 Thank you so much.
00:28:30.000 See you soon.

00:30:07.000 I want to just go into one of these stories here as we wrap up this hour.
00:30:11.000 It is going to be very interesting to see what is the direction of the Democrat Party from this point forward.
00:30:18.000 This is, I believe her name is, I can't remember her name.
00:30:21.000 I don't want to, Miss Crockett, if I'm not mistaken.
00:30:24.000 Yes, Miss Crockett.
00:30:26.000 Who kind of gives you a little bit of a foreshadowing of where the Democrat Party is going to go.
00:30:34.000 If you think they're going to moderate themselves, they are going to double and triple down on race politics because race politics is the life force of the Democrat Party.
00:30:45.000 And as American politics becomes less and less racialized, And merit and class become more emphasized and race and gender become less emphasized.
00:30:58.000 Where are the Democrats going to go?
00:31:00.000 Play cut 85. It's because you can then misuse words like oppression.
00:31:05.000 There has been no oppression for the white man in this country.
00:31:10.000 You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes.
00:31:14.000 You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are going to go at work. 1.00
00:31:22.000 We are going to steal your wives. 1.00
00:31:24.000 We are going to rape your wives. 1.00
00:31:26.000 That didn't happen. 1.00
00:31:27.000 That is oppression.
00:31:29.000 We didn't ask to be here.
00:31:30.000 We're not the same migrants that y'all constantly come up against.
00:31:35.000 We didn't run away from home.
00:31:37.000 We were stolen.
00:31:39.000 So yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you want to sit here and act like, and don't let it escape you.
00:31:47.000 That it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed.
00:31:57.000 That y'all are the ones that are being harmed.
00:32:00.000 So I suppose that is supposed to be some sort of rallying cry for the Democrat Party, where she's trying to say that the color of your skin should determine and dictate whether or not you have a right to be able to talk about oppression. 0.65
00:32:16.000 It's very interesting.
00:32:17.000 I would love her thoughts on Daniel Penny right now.
00:32:20.000 Love her thoughts.
00:32:22.000 What does she think of what's happening to Daniel Penny in New York right now?
00:32:25.000 Do you think that Daniel Penny would be on this Moscow-style show trial in the city of New York if he was anything but a Marine veteran, white, straight, Christian man?
00:32:38.000 By the way, I'm curious what she thinks about affirmative action.
00:32:41.000 Affirmative action is hostile, anti-white acceptance policies in higher education and hiring practices in the federal government.
00:32:50.000 The Democrat Party is going to go further and further in this direction.
00:32:53.000 They think they did not play race politics enough.
00:32:56.000 They think they underplayed their hand of the radical elements of their party.
00:33:02.000 If you think the Democrat Party is going to come together and kind of become a more moderate version of their former selves and embrace free speech and embrace openness and dialogue, you are mistaken.
00:33:14.000 In the DNA, in the fiber, in the modus operandi, in the standard operating procedure of the Democrat Party is race Marxism.
00:33:25.000 Is this belief that the structures around us are configured in a way that if you are a quote-unquote person of color, that you must tear down the systems around you and continue the revolution against the white man.
00:33:41.000 There's a civil war right now, and the moderates are getting a few shots in, but they're being told to shut up.
00:33:46.000 And the Bolsheviks and the race Marxist revolutionaries, they will be successful, and the Democrat Party will become even more radical. 0.93
