00:00:47.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:50.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:53.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:54.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:04.000 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.

00:01:13.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:21.000 Go to andrewandodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:28.000 Joining us now is someone who I believe is a leader.

00:01:30.000 He's led companies, led the state of Florida, one of the best states in the country.

00:01:34.000 And he has been calling out Senate Republican leadership for not leading in a rather eloquent op-ed.

00:01:40.000 Senator Rick Scott from Florida joins us.

00:01:42.000 Senator, welcome back to the program.

00:01:44.000 Thank you for joining us.

00:01:45.000 I'm going to play a piece of tape here that quite honestly infuriated me.

00:01:49.000 And I think it really upset you as well.

00:01:50.000 And I'll let you react.

00:01:51.000 Play Cut 44, Mitch McConnell.

00:01:54.000 There's probably a greater likelihood the House slips than the Senate.

00:01:59.000 Senate races are just different.

00:02:01.000 They're statewide.

00:02:05.000 Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.

00:02:08.000 Senator Scott, why is the leader of the Republican Senate saying that we might not win the Senate?

00:02:13.000 What the heck is going on here?

00:02:15.000 Well, first off, you know, a lot of the Washington crowd, a lot of the Washington crowd, what they want to do is they want to pick the candidates.

00:02:22.000 The voters pick the candidates.

00:02:24.000 And actually, if you look at it, we got great candidates.

00:02:26.000 I'm the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

00:02:29.000 We've got great candidates around the country.

00:02:31.000 Look at JD Vance.

00:02:33.000 Here's a guy that did a movie about his life, and he understands the problems of addiction.

00:02:39.000 You got Mehmet Oz, a world-renowned surgeon and best talk show host in healthcare in the world.

00:02:46.000 You've got Herschel Walker, one trophy, successful business guy.

00:02:50.000 We got a lot of good people.

00:02:52.000 So we got to support him.

00:02:53.000 Yeah, I mean, that's actually a really good point.

00:02:55.000 So you got someone who won the Heisman Trophy, someone with a successful television program.

00:02:59.000 You got a really young, charismatic, articulate entrepreneur in Arizona, Blake Masters.

00:03:04.000 You got JD Vance, who's a best-selling author, has a lot of, and is phenomenal on the issues.

00:03:08.000 But then what's going on here?

00:03:09.000 Why is the leader saying it's about bad candidates and all of this?

00:03:11.000 Is it that he doesn't have candidates that can lose?

00:03:14.000 I mean, again, I'm not here to go after Mitch McConnell.

00:03:17.000 I think he's done some things right.

00:03:18.000 I think he's done some things absolutely terribly.

00:03:20.000 But why is he forecasting a loss?

00:03:24.000 I mean, if you're a head football coach before the game, you say, yeah, you know, I don't think we're going to win a game this year.

00:03:29.000 I mean, you'd be fired.

00:03:30.000 This is so deflating to our base, Senator.

00:03:32.000 What's going on?

00:03:34.000 I don't know why.

00:03:35.000 You know, he said what he said.

00:03:36.000 I know what I'm doing.

00:03:38.000 I'm going to support our candidates.

00:03:39.000 I'm going to be a cheerleader for our candidates.

00:03:41.000 I'm going to help our candidates raise money. 0.63

00:03:42.000 Look, the Democrats have outraced this year.

00:03:45.000 No question about it.

00:03:47.000 So we've got to raise our money.

00:03:48.000 But we're out.

00:03:50.000 We're doing everything we can to help our candidates.

00:03:52.000 I believe we're going to get a majority.

00:03:54.000 Look at the quality of our candidates.

00:03:55.000 Look at how bad Biden is, how bad the Democrats are.

00:03:59.000 So if we continue to raise our money, and I tell everybody, if you want to win, text win to 55404.

00:04:04.000 We will spend your money to get these people elected.

00:04:06.000 But we have every reason to believe we can win in Georgia, in Arizona, in Nevada, New Hampshire, all over the country.

00:04:13.000 And some sleepers, too.

00:04:14.000 We were talking about Colorado and Washington possibly as well.

00:04:17.000 So Senator, I want to focus on something you just mentioned that's really interesting to me, which is we're being significantly outraised.

00:04:24.000 I remember 10 or 12 years ago, New York Times op-ed after New York Times op-ed about how Republicans are benefiting from dark money.

00:04:31.000 Jane Mayer wrote an entire book on it called Dark Money, and they accused the Koch brothers of injecting all this cash.

00:04:38.000 And Republicans were always traditionally outspending Democrats.

00:04:41.000 It's now completely flipped.

00:04:43.000 Why is that the case?

00:04:44.000 Why is it that in a wave year with a very unpopular president where we have an unbelievable motivation?

00:04:52.000 Why is it that we are being outraised and outspent?

00:04:56.000 Well, what the Democrats did right years ago, 15, 17 years ago, they started a platform called Act Blue.

00:05:03.000 And so what they did is they shared their donor base and they've gotten a whole bunch of groups on there, not only just candidates.

00:05:10.000 And actually, they've done a really good job.

00:05:13.000 I think stuff like last quarter, just on Act Blue, they raised $500 million.

00:05:17.000 What?

00:05:18.000 So, yeah, it's hard to believe.

00:05:20.000 So what we've done, WinRed is a Republican platform.

00:05:24.000 Started, I think, right about three years ago.

00:05:26.000 We put significant dollars into getting new donors.

00:05:30.000 We've done really well with it.

00:05:31.000 But look, the Democrats, the Democrats have done it longer.

00:05:34.000 So they have more online donors than we have.

00:05:37.000 But these are individuals giving you $2 and $5 and $10.

00:05:42.000 The average donation is like $30.

00:05:44.000 So we've got to continue to invest.

00:05:46.000 We have to do it, the committees.

00:05:49.000 On the Republican side, we've raised the most money that way this cycle because we put a lot of effort into it.

00:05:56.000 Our candidates, you guys like Ron Johnson is doing really well.

00:05:59.000 Tim Scott has done well.

00:06:00.000 Marker Ruby has done well.

00:06:01.000 John Keene has done well.

00:06:02.000 But all over Canada, you got to invest in this to raise your money.

00:06:06.000 But we've got to do everything well.

00:06:11.000 But we can do it.

00:06:12.000 I'm optimistic that if we have enough money and we spend our money well, our candidates are running very good races.

00:06:19.000 We're going to get a majority.

00:06:21.000 And I'm very optimistic about it.

00:06:24.000 So another part of this, though, that I think is important, in your op-ed, you have Washington versus Republican voters.

00:06:30.000 Democrats also seem to just become the crony capitalist party.

00:06:34.000 They're willing to get all the Silicon Valley money, all the Wall Street money, and it kind of has dried up some of the traditional funding bases for some Republicans to be able to easily be able to raise money.

00:06:46.000 Is there some truth to that?

00:06:47.000 It seems like Schumer just has to push forward a crony Inflation Reduction Act bill, and he's able to raise, you know, I mean, hundreds of millions of dollars for his select committees.

00:06:58.000 Can you help navigate that for a little bit?

00:07:00.000 I'll give you an example.

00:07:02.000 Yeah.

00:07:02.000 So this now a month or maybe two months ago now, they passed the CHIPS Act, Democrat bill that basically is, here's how it's going to work.

00:07:11.000 It's 200, I think as a tool of like $280 billion.

00:07:15.000 The semiconductor industry, which makes a lot of money already, they're going to get a bunch of this money.

00:07:19.000 So as an example, Intel Corporation, which made $20 billion last year, their CEO made $180 million.

00:07:25.000 I have no problem people making money, but they're going to get $4 billion to build a chip plant.

00:07:30.000 Not exactly what we need right now.

00:07:32.000 We have an oversupply of chips in the world, and they're going to have a $4 billion tax write-off, and they're going to get a billion dollar tax credit, right?

00:07:39.000 So this is, it's just crony capitalism.

00:07:42.000 And I'm sure, I'm sure that people in the semiconductor industry are ecstatic with Democrats that are going to give them all this money.

00:07:49.000 They just want to bail out.

00:07:51.000 I mean, look at the student bailout.

00:07:52.000 This is just, it's just a giveaway.

00:07:54.000 So if you're a hard worker, decide, like if you're a plumber, electrician, you didn't go to college and run up all that debt, you're going to pay off the debt for lawyers and doctors that ran up a whole bunch of debt.

00:08:04.000 I mean, this is the most unfair thing, but they're going to go after these people to get this free student loan money and ask them for donations, I'm sure.

00:08:13.000 Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know, tyrants are able to keep power by free stuff and fear.

00:08:19.000 And it seems as if we're just vacillating between the two back and forth.

00:08:22.000 And that CHIPS Act is such a good example because that bill just kind of slipped through.

00:08:26.000 I don't know how many Republicans voted for it.

00:08:29.000 I think some did.

00:08:30.000 Is that right, Senator?

00:08:31.000 I think some Republicans voted for it.

00:08:33.000 Yeah, a few did.

00:08:34.000 But we have $30 trillion of the debt.

00:08:38.000 $30 trillion of debt.

00:08:39.000 We've got the highest inflation in 40 years, right?

00:08:42.000 Interest rates are going up.

00:08:43.000 It's making it harder to buy a home.

00:08:45.000 Who's getting hurt?

00:08:46.000 Poor families that are seeing their wages not stay up with inflation.

00:08:50.000 People on fixed income that can't afford their lives to have to go back to work.

00:08:54.000 That's who we're hurting with this excess government spending.

00:08:58.000 Excess, excess.

00:08:59.000 I mean, it's just think of it in the last in the last less than two years, 1.9 in the Build Back Better.

00:09:05.000 So it was 1.2, I think, for the infrastructure, which had very little to do with roads, bridges, airports, and seaports.

00:09:11.000 The $280 billion for CHIPS bill, the latest inflation, supposedly reduction act, which will increase inflation, which is a $700-plus billion dollar tax increase.

00:09:19.000 We take money out of people's pocket and we go have more government spending.

00:09:23.000 This makes no sense.

00:09:25.000 We're hurting all families, but especially I grew up, the poor.

00:09:28.000 I grew up in a poor family.

00:09:30.000 I lived in public housing.

00:09:31.000 The inflation is hurting them horribly right now, all across my state and across this country.

00:09:36.000 Yes.

00:09:37.000 So let me ask you, some people in our base and in our audience have some understandable concerns with some of the candidates that are put forward, differently than what Mitch would be saying.

00:09:45.000 But my message is this, is look, we're now in a moment, we're 63 days out from the midterms.

00:09:50.000 And that if you live in a blue state like Colorado, that you might not agree with, you know, O'Day on every single issue, especially abortion.

00:09:58.000 But look at Michael Bennett and you look at the opposition.

00:10:01.000 Can you talk a little bit about how we need a coalescing?

00:10:04.000 If every single person, again, this won't happen, but if every single person who voted for Trump in 2020 showed up to the midterms, we win majorities like we've never seen before.

00:10:12.000 If the base shows up, talk about that.

00:10:15.000 Charlie, here's as simple as this.

00:10:17.000 In the Senate, whoever has a majority decides what we vote on.

00:10:22.000 We don't get, like, I can have the greatest bill in the world.

00:10:24.000 Chuck Schumer doesn't like it.

00:10:25.000 There's no vote.

00:10:27.000 I get votes on no bills that I care about.

00:10:29.000 So it's as simple as that.

00:10:30.000 We have got to get a majority.

00:10:32.000 And so Joe O'Day is a construction entrepreneur.

00:10:36.000 He's a hard worker.

00:10:37.000 He's lived the American dream.

00:10:39.000 Right.

00:10:40.000 And so would you like that?

00:10:41.000 Or would you like Bennett, who has voted with Chuck Schumer 100% of the time?

00:10:45.000 I mean, it's a pretty simple thing.

00:10:46.000 Yeah, and I get that.

00:10:48.000 I sympathize with the base to do the purity stuff.

00:10:51.000 That's really what primaries are for.

00:10:53.000 And we're involved in primaries.

00:10:54.000 But, you know, there's someone that emailed us.

00:10:56.000 They said, hey, look, Joe O'Day, at least he says he doesn't want public funding of abortions.

00:11:01.000 He does want some limitations.

00:11:03.000 And so, look, I'm 100% pro-life all the way through.

00:11:05.000 And you have that in one of your points as well of the new Republican Party.

00:11:09.000 But can you talk more about the technical side of this, the procedural?

00:11:12.000 If we're the minority, we're just screaming at the sky, right, Senator?

00:11:15.000 I mean, it's we all work for Schumer.

00:11:18.000 On the floor, we get no votes.

00:11:20.000 In the committees, we're not the chair.

00:11:23.000 The chair of the committee decides what we vote on in every committee.

00:11:26.000 So we have no power to force a vote on anything.

00:11:30.000 No bill that we like, unless it's a bill that Democrats like, do we get a vote on it?

00:11:36.000 So we have no power.

00:11:38.000 And they can cram through bad nominations, right?

00:11:43.000 They can cram through some bad judges.

00:11:46.000 And so we have to get a majority.

00:11:48.000 It's as simple as that.

00:11:49.000 But let's go back to Joe Day for a second.

00:11:52.000 You know where the Democrats are on abortion?

00:11:54.000 Abortion up until the moment of birth.

00:11:56.000 You don't have to keep a baby, a live baby alive.

00:12:00.000 The government will, your tax dollars will pay for abortions here and around the world, right? 0.98

00:12:04.000 And if you're a pro-life healthcare worker, you're forced to do abortions.

00:12:08.000 That's where the Democrats, they've all voted that way.

00:12:11.000 So we've got to rally behind our Republican nominees, get them the resources, and get them the votes.

00:12:18.000 This is about getting all of us out to vote.

00:12:21.000 We can all do something.

00:12:23.000 We can go campaign, we can vote, we can volunteer, make phone calls, knock on doors.

00:12:28.000 There's something every one of us can do to win in November.

00:12:31.000 We have to win in November, both the House and the Senate.

00:12:34.000 At this moment in time, and we can all wish it was different.

00:12:38.000 People say, oh, Charlie, I wish I can wish ourselves into oblivion.

00:12:41.000 I wish Donald Trump won in 2020.

00:12:43.000 I wish we didn't borrow $30 trillion in debt.

00:12:45.000 But here's what I know.

00:12:46.000 If we don't have one more Senate vote than they do, then committees overseeing the IRS, which I'm going to ask you about, committees overseeing Fauci, committees overseeing the FBI, it's all going to be Schumer's agenda.

00:12:58.000 And so just 30 seconds on just oversight, your thoughts.

00:13:02.000 So we will have no, whatever you believe in oversight, whether it's the homeland security, the fact that we don't have a secure border, whether it's what the IRS is going to do with 187,000 or 87,000 more IRS agents, whatever it is, we'll have no oversight of any committee that doesn't.

00:13:02.000 Right.

00:13:20.000 Yeah, none.

00:13:21.000 I mean, we're not getting them now, right?

00:13:23.000 Gary Peters will not do any investigation in the Biden administration, period.

00:13:26.000 He's the Democrat in charge of the committee.

00:13:29.000 So there's none.

00:13:31.000 Yeah, Gary Peters from Michigan.

00:13:33.000 He's one of the more forgettable senators out there, but he does everything he's told, right?

00:13:36.000 He just says, do this, block this, yes, sir, and he goes home.

00:13:39.000 That's right.

00:13:40.000 I am agreeing with what you're saying.

00:13:42.000 And I understand the differences of opinion on so many of these candidates.

00:13:46.000 But the moment in time, the question in front of us, the prudent operative question, is do we save the country with political power or do we save the country without political power?

00:13:56.000 That's the question in front of us the next 63 days.

00:13:59.000 We could talk about the future of the Republican Party and votes I agree with and votes we disagree with every other day.

00:14:04.000 But now Labor Day to Election Day, we are in a window of prudence.

00:14:08.000 Senator, I want to just expand on something with you.

00:14:11.000 If the majority goes Republican, can you give some guarantees of the type of oversight that we will see?

00:14:17.000 Because I think that is a way that some Republican-based voters will say, okay, now I can see why we want to have a 51-49 majority.

00:14:23.000 Can you talk about the priorities of things that will be investigated, people that will be subpoenaed, please?

00:14:29.000 You know, first off, Charlie, let me make sure on the quality of our candidates, guess what?

00:14:33.000 Every Republican Senate candidate believes in a secure border.

00:14:36.000 They believe in the funding of the police.

00:14:38.000 They don't believe in IRS agents.

00:14:39.000 They don't believe in more IRS agents or critical race theory, a bigger government.

00:14:43.000 So think about that.

00:14:44.000 There's the contrast.

00:14:46.000 That's why we have to do it.

00:14:47.000 So when we get the majority, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin should be the chair of the subcommittee that will be doing the investigations.

00:14:57.000 I intend to be on that committee.

00:14:59.000 Ron Johnson will be hell-bent on doing proper investigations.

00:15:03.000 Yeah, so let's just pause there.

00:15:05.000 So if you live in a state where you have a candidate that you're like, I don't know, you could nationalize it.

00:15:11.000 You could say, do I want a bulldog like Ron Johnson to be able to investigate people like Fauci, the CDC, and all these different things?

00:15:19.000 What are the other investigations?

00:15:21.000 Are you going to investigate Garland or Maorkis?

00:15:23.000 What are the other things that the Senate Republicans pledge to investigate?

00:15:26.000 Just take the Mara-Lago rating.

00:15:28.000 We have to require, and we will be able to do it if we have a majority.

00:15:31.000 We have to require complete transparency by Christopher Ray and Merrick Garland.

00:15:35.000 We've got to understand exactly all the background of all the, you know, exactly what Hunter Biden's been doing.

00:15:41.000 We need to understand exactly what Fauci and the NIH has been doing.

00:15:45.000 So we need to go piece by piece into real oversight.

00:15:48.000 But our job is to our job is to do oversight.

00:15:52.000 It's not like it's mean-spirited, intentional.

00:15:55.000 Our job is to do oversight.

00:15:56.000 That's why the committee was set up.

00:15:58.000 That's why Congress is there.

00:15:59.000 We review the executive branch.

00:16:01.000 There's nothing, like, there's no political agenda here.

00:16:04.000 Give Americans the facts and let Americans make the best choices.

00:16:08.000 Yeah, and it's just there's like no oversight happening.

00:16:11.000 We get oversight in five-minute increments, right?

00:16:13.000 We get five minutes to ask questions and then no one, they don't take you seriously.

00:16:16.000 They don't write your, they don't respond to letters, right?

00:16:18.000 Senator?

00:16:19.000 I mean, they don't care.

00:16:21.000 Charlie, Maorca says, oh, the border's secure.

00:16:24.000 Yeah.

00:16:25.000 And so we have, we have five minutes.

00:16:27.000 They can just go up there.

00:16:28.000 He tells complete lies, okay, about the border.

00:16:32.000 It's a complete lie what he says about the border.

00:16:34.000 There's nothing I can do about it.

00:16:35.000 They don't have to respond to what I ask them in writing.

00:16:38.000 I mean, if we don't have majority, we don't have any subpoena power, which we have no, there's no subpoenas of the Biden administration been done since Biden got elected because we, because Gary Peters, the Democrat chair of the committee, won't do any.

00:16:50.000 When we get a majority, our job is to oversee the executive branch of government.

00:16:56.000 That's our job.

00:16:57.000 It's not like it's a mean-spirited job.

00:16:59.000 It's just our job.

00:17:00.000 We need to go do our job and hold these government agencies accountable.

00:17:04.000 87,000 new IRS agents.

00:17:06.000 Currently, if there is no political power that is retaken in Washington, D.C., no one will oversee them.

00:17:12.000 No one will know who's hiring them.

00:17:13.000 And by the way, we should try to reverse it.

00:17:15.000 We should try to reverse the 87,000.

00:17:16.000 I mean, can you talk about that, Senator?

00:17:18.000 Well, first off, I'm going to try this month.

00:17:20.000 We need to have a vote this month if we can to get rid of the 87,000 new IRS agents and also stop this bailout of the student loan bailout.

00:17:28.000 That's so unfair.

00:17:29.000 It's illegal.

00:17:31.000 First off, it's unfair.

00:17:32.000 Second, it's illegal.

00:17:33.000 They didn't have any power to do this.

00:17:35.000 Now, ultimately, what we end up having to do is go through the court process and see what the courts decide because that's how our government is set up.

00:17:42.000 So we need to be doing that.

00:17:43.000 We've got to figure out how to do it where somebody has the legal standing to file the suit to make sure we can go and stop this.

00:17:51.000 But what we ought to do is this should be a vote by Congress.

00:17:53.000 This shouldn't be a decision by the Biden by himself, making just deciding, oh, I'm going to go spend $500 billion here and have these people pay for these people's college education.

00:18:03.000 That's completely unfair and, as you said, illegal.

00:18:06.000 And just by a stroke of a pen.

00:18:07.000 Senator Rick Scott, we are 63 days out from the midterms.

00:18:10.000 Thank you.

00:18:10.000 Keep supporting the good guys like Vance and Masters.

00:18:13.000 We're going to keep on making sure the Republican base, conservative base, knows the stakes.

00:18:18.000 I understand they've been very burned by establishment Republicans, but nothing good will happen if we are in the minority post-November.

00:18:25.000 Period.

00:18:25.000 We've got to get the majority.

00:18:26.000 That's right.

00:18:27.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:18:27.000 Have a great day.

00:18:28.000 Thanks, Senator.

00:18:29.000 Appreciate it.

00:18:29.000 Bye-bye.

00:18:31.000 The ability to hold the Democrats accountable to stop this Marxist insurrection that's happening, which is happening all across the country.

00:18:37.000 The only way to do that is with political power.

00:18:42.000 What good have we done from the Senate minority the last year and a half?

00:18:47.000 We have a lot of press releases.

00:18:49.000 And trust me, I've done show after show about the weakness and the fecklessness of the Republican Party.

00:18:53.000 How do you fix that?

00:18:54.000 You get the majority back with a Vance and a Masters and a Lee and a Cruz.

00:19:00.000 And all of a sudden, you change the Republican Party.

00:19:02.000 You change it for the better.

00:19:04.000 And by the way, we have communication channels.

00:19:06.000 We have grassroots activism.

00:19:07.000 We have War Room.

00:19:08.000 We have this program that did not exist in prior Republican Congress.

00:19:13.000 The agenda will be a MAGA America First agenda if we win.

00:19:20.000 I recently got a question from a listener who wanted to know if it was possible to avoid digestion problems by eating only healthy organic food.

00:19:27.000 It's a nice thought, but unfortunately, that's just not possible.

00:19:31.000 You see, your natural ability to digest food declines naturally with age.

00:19:35.000 This is because your body produces fewer enzymes, which are the proteins responsible for digesting food.

00:19:42.000 Fewer enzymes mean more difficulty digesting food.

00:19:45.000 Even organic foods won't provide enough enzymes to properly digest them.

00:19:49.000 This is especially true if you cook your food because cooking kills enzymes.

00:19:54.000 This is why you might have digestion problems even after eating a super healthy meal.

00:19:59.000 Your body just can't produce enough enzymes to get the job done.

00:20:02.000 This is where a supplementing with a high-quality digestive enzyme, I do it, supplement could be a huge help.

00:20:08.000 I personally recommend Mass Symes by Buy Optimizers.

00:20:11.000 I could tell you makes a big difference.

00:20:12.000 It's a best-in-class supplement loaded with full-spectrum enzymes for digesting proteins, starches, sugars, fibers, and fats.

00:20:19.000 Taking Mass Symes daily helps top off your enzymes levels and replace the enzymes your body is no longer producing, which means you'll be able to eat all sorts of delicious foods and digest them quickly and effortlessly.

00:20:31.000 Listen, life is too short to suffer from digestion problems.

00:20:34.000 If you want freedom from food, try Mass Symes, risk-free, and experience for yourself the magic of high-quality enzymes.

00:21:06.000 Okay, we're going to really shift gears here because we've got Mike Davis, who's been amazing.

00:21:11.000 Over the last couple of hours, there's been news about a special master that has now been appointed in the Trump Mar-a-Lago raid court case.

00:21:22.000 Here to help us unpack this is Mike Davis from the Article 3 Project.

00:21:26.000 Mike, you've been terrific on all of your commentary on this.

00:21:29.000 Welcome to the program.

00:21:31.000 Mike, what is a special master and what is the significance of this?

00:21:35.000 So a special master is someone who is appointed by a judge to assist the judge usually with the discovery matter.

00:21:44.000 And Judge Cannon, Eileen Cannon, from the Southern District of Florida, a federal judge down there, has said that she wants to appoint a special master to do the review of President Trump's raided records.

00:21:57.000 The Biden Justice Department had this unprecedented, unnecessary, unlawful home raid of a former president who happens to be the current president's chief political enemy.

00:22:07.000 They took 11,000 documents from this home raid, and they went to a biased magistrate judge, Bruce Reinhart, who just recused from President Trump's civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton on June 22nd and got him to authorize this home raid.

00:22:24.000 Somehow his bias, his clear judicial bias under 28 USC 455A and Canon 2 and Canon 2, we have the judicial cannons magically disappeared over that six-week period where his clear bias went away.

00:22:37.000 He had a 2017 Facebook post bashing Trump.

00:22:40.000 So the Biden Justice Department went down, they judge shopped for this judge, got this unprecedented home raid warrant.

00:22:47.000 And now Judge Cannon, I think, is on to them because if you look at her order where she ordered this, she said that she's going to appoint a special master, she talks about, quote, the swirling allegations of bias and media leaks in this case.

00:23:01.000 She talks about how the structure and operation of this raid was improper.

00:23:06.000 The same prosecutors who ran the Russian collusion raid are now doing this home raid of President Trump to get back these Russian collusion documents.

00:23:16.000 There's not a wall.

00:23:17.000 There's not a good wall between the prosecutors and the people who are reviewing the documents.

00:23:22.000 Two documents, two privileged documents, at least two privileged documents got through this privilege review to the prosecutors and they didn't wall off the prosecutors from this investigation.

00:23:32.000 The judge talks about the politicized circumstances of the raid.

00:23:36.000 She talks about how this was extraordinary, exceptional, and how Trump has been cooperating with the Biden Justice Department, how Biden was the one who authorized this home raid, and that this home raid raises serious legal issues, including the fact what we've been talking about, Charlie, from day one.

00:23:58.000 The president has the absolute constitutional power to declassify anything he wants.

00:24:03.000 He has the sole statutory power to take personal records with him to Bar-a-Lago.

00:24:08.000 So, let me ask you, Mike, is it fair to say the special master is a metaphorical babysitter for the Department of Justice, that it's a check and balance almost, that there is an erosion of trust, Department of Justice is out of control, and the special master, of whom, unless I've missed the report, we don't know who the identity of the special master is.

00:24:26.000 They're almost going to be kind of looking over the shoulder of the DOJ throughout this process.

00:24:30.000 Is that a fair way to describe it?

00:24:32.000 Yeah, I mean, they're just going to be, they're going to be working.

00:24:35.000 This special master will report to Judge Cannon, and this special master will make sure that the Biden Justice Department is doing the review properly.

00:24:45.000 This special master will check the Biden Justice Department's homework.

00:24:50.000 And if the Biden Justice Department has nothing to hide here, there shouldn't be a problem.

00:24:55.000 If they're not cheating or lying like they've been doing throughout this investigation, where they lied that Merrick Garland did not personally approve this raid, he did.

00:25:04.000 They lied that President Trump had nuclear documents to try to justify this raid.

00:25:08.000 He didn't.

00:25:09.000 They lied that President Biden, the Biden White House, was not involved with this raid.

00:25:13.000 That's a lie.

00:25:14.000 President Biden had to waive Trump's claim of executive privilege, and he did it through Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Sue.

00:25:20.000 There have been constant leaks and lies, including from a grand jury, which is illegal.

00:25:24.000 This special master is Judge Cannon's way of trying to get this investigation under control.

00:25:30.000 Yeah, no, and it's not just super quick, I want to play a piece of tate here from the snake, Andrew Weissman, but this is not normal.

00:25:38.000 Special masters are very rare.

00:25:39.000 Is that correct?

00:25:41.000 They are rare.

00:25:42.000 No, I will say that a judge just appointed a special master in the project.

00:25:47.000 That was going to be my other point, is that we now have two babysitters for the DOJ because of two political investigations.

00:25:53.000 That really is interesting, isn't it?

00:25:54.000 That should tell you everything you need to know.

00:25:56.000 Go ahead.

00:25:58.000 Attorney General Merrick Garland has completely politicized and weaponized the Department of Justice.

00:26:04.000 What he's doing is unprecedented.

00:26:06.000 When Republicans take over the House in January, they need to impeach him.

00:26:10.000 I totally agree with that.

00:26:12.000 I don't think he's going to make it to January.

00:26:14.000 I think he's going to resign ahead of the tsunami of oversight.

00:26:17.000 I could be wrong.

00:26:18.000 I don't think he has it in him to just kind of come to committee after committee after committee after committee.

00:26:22.000 Let's play Cut 38.

00:26:23.000 The left is losing their mind over the fact that the Department of Justice now has a babysitter because we can't trust our own government.

00:26:30.000 Play Cut 38.

00:26:31.000 That special master will do their own independent review.

00:26:35.000 This really could open the door to months of litigation.

00:26:41.000 And the precedent, as I said, is horrendous.

00:26:45.000 They're losing their mind really quick here, one minute, Mike.

00:26:48.000 What is it about a special master?

00:26:50.000 They're saying it's going to delay things.

00:26:52.000 It's about speed.

00:26:53.000 When I've read their commentary, I say, wait a second, why the rush all of a sudden?

00:26:57.000 Are you trying to prevent a political outcome here?

00:26:59.000 Every piece of commentary is about the expediency, which I think reveals something deeper.

00:27:06.000 Your thoughts, Mike.

00:27:07.000 This is totally politicized.

00:27:09.000 The Biden administration waited 18 months to go get these records.

00:27:13.000 Attorney General Merrick Garland deliberated for weeks before he judged up with this biased judge to order this unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful home raid.

00:27:22.000 Even when the biased judge authorized the home raid, they waited three days to execute.

00:27:27.000 There is no issue.

00:27:28.000 There was no issue for them waiting for 18 months.

00:27:30.000 Now, all of a sudden, they're concerned about timing on this case.

00:27:34.000 What they're really concerned about is this special master is going to blow apart their hoax here.

00:27:39.000 And their hoax is that they authorized this rate to go get President Trump's declassified personal copy of the Russian collusion crossfire hurricane records that are so damaging for Obama, Biden, Hillary, James Clapper, Susan Rice, Brennan, the FBI, the Intel community.

00:27:56.000 That's what this is all about.

00:27:58.000 It's the desecration of our institutions.

00:28:00.000 It really is.

00:28:01.000 So, look, there's two aspects to this.

00:28:04.000 Just kind of we talk about the midterms here, and we'll get back to Mike Davis in a second, which is if you live in a blue state and you have a candidate that can win, is it worth taking a risk to potentially win that race to be able to help the broader cause?

00:28:20.000 Now, I say this from Illinois, having been burned by Republican candidates all the time.

00:28:27.000 However, sometimes candidates can surprise you.

00:28:30.000 Sometimes candidates can end up being more conservative.

00:28:32.000 Ron Johnson surprised all of us.

00:28:35.000 He's been an unbelievable senator.

00:28:36.000 He is worthy of all of our support.

00:28:38.000 Now, if you live in a red state, your calculus, I think, is completely and totally different, to be honest with you.

00:28:43.000 I think your calculus is totally different.

00:28:45.000 That's where primaries matter.

00:28:47.000 That's where you have to draft better candidates.

00:28:50.000 There's a lot of races out here that are sleepers that if we show up and if we rise up, we could win.

00:28:58.000 Now, someone here, Joe, emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:29:00.000 Charlie, if I had a GOP representative running that was pro-choice, I would not vote for them.

00:29:05.000 And I respect that.

00:29:06.000 I really do.

00:29:08.000 But there is a counterargument to that.

00:29:10.000 I see it both ways.

00:29:11.000 Trust me, I wouldn't be enthusiastic about voting for a pro-abortion candidate.

00:29:15.000 But I'm going to give you the other side of the coin because I'm torn on it: is that a pro-choice senator, Susan Collins, gave us Brett Kavanaugh, who then ended up voting for, who ended up voting for the repealing of Roe versus Wade.

00:29:29.000 So in a very bizarre calculus, pro-choice senators actually gave us pro-choice justices that gave us pro-life victory.

00:29:38.000 Now, I know that doesn't satisfy the purity test, of which I hold myself to as well.

00:29:46.000 I mean, I would have a very difficult time.

00:29:48.000 If I lived in Colorado, it would be very difficult for me to be a campaign to vote for a candidate like Joe O'Day.

00:29:54.000 But I'm not saying don't vote for him.

00:29:55.000 I'm saying that there's a moral argument on both sides.

00:29:58.000 Okay, back to Mike Davis here.

00:30:00.000 Mike, welcome back.

00:30:01.000 So I want to ask a question.

00:30:03.000 You've been going after Hillary Clinton here, and because out of nowhere, Hillary Clinton, it reminds me of the Shakespearean drama, Doth Lady Protest Too Much, Methinks, something in Old English, where she's all of a sudden defending herself against classified information.

00:30:16.000 Oh, yeah, the lady doth protest too much, methinks.

00:30:19.000 What is she talking about here, Mike? 1.00

00:30:21.000 She says she had no classified information.

00:30:22.000 Like, okay, no one's talking about you, Hillary.

00:30:24.000 Aren't you going for a hike in the woods or something?

00:30:27.000 Your thoughts on Hillary Clinton all of a sudden defending herself.

00:30:31.000 So President Trump had the absolute constitutional and statutory power to take these records to Mar-a-Lago.

00:30:37.000 That's very, very clear.

00:30:38.000 And I don't even think the Biden Justice Department and the Democrats are even disputing that anymore after we've been pounding that message for the last five weeks.

00:30:46.000 Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, had an illegal home server as Secretary of State with our nation's most classified materials, including, I think it was seven email threads that the FBI found with top secret secure access program TSSAP classifications, which is above top secret.

00:31:08.000 Those are the most classified Department of Defense classifications you could have. 0.87

00:31:12.000 She had an illegal home server as Secretary of State.

00:31:16.000 It was hacked by our enemies. 1.00

00:31:18.000 When she got caught, she bleach-bitted the server and took a hammer to the phone.

00:31:23.000 So you have an espionage act violation.

00:31:26.000 You have theft, misuse, destruction of government property.

00:31:29.000 You have obstruction of justice. 0.89

00:31:31.000 The three crimes that they are improperly using to go after Trump on this home rate, Hillary Clinton actually did. 1.00

00:31:38.000 She was not the president of the United States. 1.00

00:31:41.000 She'll never be the president of the United States.

00:31:43.000 The president has different laws that apply to him.

00:31:46.000 The president, the former president, have different laws that apply to him than any other person on the planet.

00:31:51.000 So I don't know where Hillary's coming up with this tweet, but this is the same Clinton administration that they stole $190,000 worth of furniture and rugs and flatware out of the White House when they left.

00:32:05.000 the White House to go back to their trailer in Arkansas. 0.81

00:32:08.000 So I don't think that she should be popping her head up right now.

00:32:11.000 It's probably good that she just goes for a hike in the woods, like you said, Charlie.

00:32:15.000 Yeah, so she out of nowhere starts defending herself.

00:32:19.000 I put that in quotes.

00:32:20.000 The whole thing is kind of a joke.

00:32:22.000 And you got to wonder if there's more examination under her and all this.

00:32:26.000 So let me just kind of broaden this for a second here.

00:32:27.000 We've got a minute and a half remaining here.

00:32:28.000 Mike Davis from the Article 3 Project.

00:32:30.000 Is it fair to say that this is them sending the metaphorical librarian after Donald Trump for an overdue library book, raiding his home for that, and being willing to try to take a political candidate off of the field for paperwork disputes?

00:32:49.000 Is that an oversimplification?

00:32:51.000 One minute, Mike.

00:32:52.000 No, it's actually, yes, it's the librarians calling the police for the overdue library book that's not overdue, and the book doesn't belong to the library.

00:33:02.000 The law is very clear on this.

00:33:05.000 It's very clear on this.

00:33:07.000 And this is a political raid on Biden's chief political rival for two purposes.

00:33:13.000 One is to eliminate him, eliminate Trump as a presidential contender against Biden or whoever they prop up when Biden can't make it.

00:33:21.000 And it's also to get back these declassified crossfire hurricane records that Trump has that are so damning for the Obama, Biden, Hillary regimes.

00:33:31.000 It's well said.
