00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000 I'm excited about our next guest.
00:01:11.000 He has gone massively viral.
00:01:13.000 He was also a frequent guest of the show and spoke with Charlie many, many times about COVID and the vaccines and some of the trials around there.
00:01:22.000 He's now going viral again in a massive, massive story.
00:01:26.000 That's Alex Berenson.
00:01:27.000 He's an independent journalist, unreported truth substack.
00:01:31.000 So check him out there or on exit, Alex Berenson.
00:01:34.000 Alex, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:36.000 It's good to see you.
00:01:37.000 It's a little emotional for me, honestly, because I, you know, the last time I was on, I was obviously with Charlie.
00:01:43.000 And I'm really sorry, guys.
00:01:47.000 Yeah.
00:01:47.000 I'm looking forward to seeing you both later this month, but I'm really sorry.
00:01:52.000 Yeah, well, people should know that I reached out to Alex.
00:01:57.000 He's going to be at Amfest, which is coming up December 18th through the 21st in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:02:03.000 It's going to be a massive, massive event.
00:02:05.000 And Alex, you're going to be sort of, we're going to be debating on the merits or lack thereof of marijuana.
00:02:14.000 And Charlie loved talking to you about that.
00:02:16.000 And so when we knew, when we knew we were going to be doing a debate about marijuana, you were the first person I reached out to.
00:02:23.000 And I was like, Alex, you know, Charlie would want you there.
00:02:27.000 And you were like, well, how do I say no to that?
00:02:28.000 And Alex was such a prophet.
00:02:32.000 He was shilling against marijuana at the peak.
00:02:34.000 Oh, it's no big deal.
00:02:36.000 Legalize it everywhere frenzy.
00:02:37.000 And now opinions are turning back against it.
00:02:41.000 And you really helped pave the way for that, Alex.
00:02:44.000 It's going to be an interesting debate.
00:02:46.000 But yeah, I am glad to see that.
00:02:48.000 And I mean, it's funny with Charlie.
00:02:50.000 You know, maybe it's because I was, you know, I was going to text Andrew and say, you know, maybe it's because he didn't go to college.
00:02:56.000 Like his instincts were so good on so many things.
00:03:00.000 And they were good on COVID and they were good on the, you know, the mRNAs and they were good on pot.
00:03:05.000 Like he, he just got it.
00:03:07.000 And so, yeah, I'm, I'm happy to be there.
00:03:10.000 And yeah, as you know, I couldn't say no.
00:03:14.000 I was, I was proud you guys invited me.
00:03:16.000 Well, we're grateful to have you and I'm looking forward to seeing you, Alex.
00:03:19.000 And you've got this huge story out.
00:03:21.000 It's a huge bombshell allegation.
00:03:24.000 And you can fill us in on the details, but your sub stack, urgent, a young child died of cardiac arrest after being jabbed during Moderna's key COVID vaccine trial.
00:03:35.000 What's going on here, Alex?
00:03:37.000 That's really interesting because, you know, I've been writing about the mRNAs for like five years.
00:03:41.000 And that story is actually, believe it or not, I wrote it in January.
00:03:45.000 Okay.
00:03:46.000 And this is one of these things like I wrote it.
00:03:48.000 I thought it was super important.
00:03:50.000 And, you know, the Biden administration was still in office.
00:03:53.000 And, you know, they didn't care.
00:03:56.000 Moderna declined to comment.
00:03:58.000 And this got some attention a little bit then, but it mainly just sat there.
00:04:02.000 But what happened is last Friday, the new FDA, the FDA under RFK Jr. and Trump, there's a guy named Vinay Prasad, who's the head, really the head vaccine regulator.
00:04:14.000 And he wrote a memo to his staff saying, we've reviewed a number of cases where vaccines were linked to deaths of people, of children and teenagers, aged seven to 16.
00:04:27.000 He said, we've looked at 96 cases and we found at least 10 where there's a real connection in the you know in the view of our reviewers.
00:04:35.000 Okay.
00:04:35.000 And we think there's a lot more than that.
00:04:37.000 And there probably, I mean, there probably are a lot more, but we're being very conservative.
00:04:42.000 We're saying there are these 10 deaths.
00:04:44.000 And, you know, and I, and so I, so I went back and I said, look, guys, you know, yes, there are a lot of deaths, but guess what?
00:04:51.000 There was even a death of a child in Moderna's own trial.
00:04:56.000 And they basically hid that for almost three years.
00:05:00.000 They disclosed it in one place that I happen to know has like really comprehensive data, which is not the FDA.
00:05:07.000 It's actually the European drug regulator.
00:05:10.000 And they put it up there, basically knowing that nobody was ever going to look at it.
00:05:15.000 And I, and I, you know, because this is what I do, I spend my days reading databases, you know, that nobody else is looking at.
00:05:26.000 I found this.
00:05:27.000 And so there was this debt.
00:05:28.000 And what's even worse, and they released sort of no specific information except saying that this was a preschool-aged child, a two to five-year-old age child who suffered cardiorespiratory arrest and died.
00:05:41.000 All right.
00:05:42.000 So they, you know, they, these vaccines were approved for children, you know, both from Pfizer and Moderna in late 2021 and 2022.
00:05:53.000 And there was a big, giant push, you know, with ag campaigns and every, you know, bit of legacy media and every public health person saying, go get your kids vaccinated.
00:06:04.000 The data from these trials show that the vaccines did almost nothing to stop infections in kids.
00:06:13.000 Okay, that's A. B, kids are at tiny risk of serious injury or death from COVID.
00:06:21.000 And three, when you actually look at the clinical trial data from the trials themselves, okay, you see that the kids who got vaccinated, who got the shots, had many more side effects.
00:06:31.000 They had high fevers, they had infections, they had pain.
00:06:36.000 And in some cases, one weird thing is for some reason, there seem to be diabetic complications sometimes from vaccines in kids, meaning you can actually see cases of type 1 diabetes, which is basically supposed to be genetic disease, developing after vaccination in some kids from the mRNAs.
00:06:57.000 And all this stuff was out there.
00:06:58.000 And the FDA, the Biden administration, they did nothing about it.
00:07:01.000 Places like the New England Journal of Medicine, they did nothing about this.
00:07:05.000 It's so, it makes me so angry.
00:07:07.000 No kids should have been vaccinated with this.
00:07:10.000 And European countries, by about, but really by 2022, they were much stricter about what they were doing for kids and young adults.
00:07:18.000 But the vaccine fanatics in this country wouldn't let this go.
00:07:22.000 And they have done so much damage because, look, I am in favor.
00:07:26.000 And, you know, maybe some people who are watching this are not, but I'm basically in favor of stuff like the measles vaccine.
00:07:31.000 I think that's an important vaccine.
00:07:32.000 And yes, there may occasionally be side effects, but it's much lower.
00:07:36.000 We know how that works.
00:07:38.000 And I understand there may be some parents who don't want to get their kids vaccinated against measles.
00:07:45.000 But what we've done is frighten parents about all vaccines, frighten parents into not getting their kids routinely vaccinated, even for stuff that might be more dangerous with vaccines that worked a lot better.
00:07:58.000 And it's just disgusting to me.
00:08:00.000 Yeah, well, it's interesting.
00:08:01.000 So you were, I saw you responding to somebody on Twitter.
00:08:04.000 This is a Jonathan Laxton, MD, said the death occurred in a child with chronic respiratory failure, 144 days post-dose and was reported with the first results March 2025.
00:08:15.000 It's not a vaccine death.
00:08:18.000 I won't request an apology.
00:08:19.000 And you said, nope, that's not the case.
00:08:22.000 Could you reply to this guy?
00:08:23.000 Absolutely.
00:08:24.000 So, so, so, this death happened in like 2020, late 2022, 2023.
00:08:29.000 And what you need to know is that the only people who have the real information about what happened are inside the company, okay?
00:08:35.000 And quote unquote, independent investigator.
00:08:39.000 But the way it works is the company takes the first pass and they say, you know what?
00:08:44.000 We think that this child might have been sick before.
00:08:47.000 And so we will think the vaccine caused this.
00:08:49.000 Guess what?
00:08:50.000 This stuff that that guy's talking about, that's like booth.
00:08:53.000 Okay.
00:08:53.000 That's four years before.
00:08:55.000 This child was healthy.
00:08:57.000 And how do I know the child is healthy?
00:08:59.000 Because the title of the trial is a vaccine trial in healthy children.
00:09:04.000 They didn't want sick kids in this because they didn't want kids to get, you know, vaccine injuries.
00:09:09.000 And so, and, you know, they wanted sort of the healthiest popular pop, the healthy, I'm sorry, the healthiest possible population.
00:09:17.000 And that's what they got.
00:09:18.000 And so, so then what happens is when people get injured by the vaccine or by any drug in a clinical trial, the company running the trial is going to go out of its way to try to find other excuses for this.
00:09:30.000 And by the way, this is not just a problem with Moderna.
00:09:32.000 This is not just a problem with vaccines.
00:09:34.000 This is a problem with the drug industry in the U.S.
00:09:37.000 And so that's what happened in this case.
00:09:40.000 Do I know that the vaccine caused this child's injury?
00:09:43.000 I do not.
00:09:44.000 Does this guy know the vaccine didn't cause this child's injury?
00:09:47.000 No, he does not.
00:09:48.000 Neither of us know because the company isn't really disclosing enough information for somebody outside to know.
00:09:55.000 And so that's, I mean, that's one of the many problems.
00:09:57.000 And that's one of the many reasons people in the United States are so suspicious of vaccines and of big pharma.
00:10:04.000 And they should be.
00:10:05.000 They're not getting the full story here.
00:10:07.000 Well, and you, you make the point, Alex, that if these companies are good at one thing, it's about designing trials that give them the result that they want.
00:10:15.000 And so the fact that this went so poorly and you mentioned, yeah, a kid probably died from it.
00:10:21.000 That's what your findings seem to suggest, but there was tons of other side effects and abnormalities that were also detected.
00:10:31.000 This Christmas, give the gift of food security with an amazing deal from our friends at MyPatriot Supply.
00:10:37.000 It's called the Buy One Gift Two Christmas Special.
00:10:40.000 And you guys have got to check it out all month long.
00:10:43.000 When you buy an emergency food kit, you'll get two more food kits free to give us gifts.
00:10:48.000 That's right.
00:10:48.000 Get a four-week emergency food supply for yourself and they'll throw in two one-week food kits absolutely free.
00:10:55.000 The one-week kits make perfect gifts for anyone on your list who's into preparedness or anyone who needs a little nudge in that direction.
00:11:01.000 These days, it just makes sense to have some food stored away for emergencies.
00:11:05.000 And with this buy one, gift two Christmas deal, you're not only getting yourself prepared, you're also getting unique and meaningful Christmas gifts for your friends and family, and they're free.
00:11:14.000 Just go to mypatriotsupply.com slash K I R K and join millions of Americans who are preparing today at mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.
00:11:22.000 That is mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.
00:11:27.000 Alex, so you are basically alleging here that there were so many issues with this trial, especially with kids.
00:11:38.000 Would you say that this should not have been approved by the FDA regardless of whether or not this child died, tragically?
00:11:48.000 Do you think there's still a case that this should not have been approved, regardless of that fact?
00:11:52.000 Well, the girl did die.
00:11:55.000 I mean, whether or not the vaccine killed her, we don't know.
00:11:57.000 We do know the vaccine caused lots of other side effects in children, okay?
00:12:03.000 And we know that the vaccine didn't work very well in children, and we know that children were at very low risk.
00:12:09.000 I mean, essentially no risk if they were at all healthy from death or serious injury from COVID.
00:12:15.000 I mean, it did happen occasionally, but it was very rare.
00:12:20.000 So, on balance, the FDA shouldn't have approved these for kids.
00:12:25.000 And I don't know if you recall, but in 2021, there was a move in certain blue states to even try to force, mandate these vaccines for kids going to public school.
00:12:36.000 Fortunately, it didn't go anywhere.
00:12:38.000 Governor Newsom tried to make that happen.
00:12:40.000 There were other governors who tried to make that happen.
00:12:42.000 And I think, fortunately, they realized that the parental pushback would be so severe, even in blue states, that they didn't do it.
00:12:49.000 But the fact that they even considered it tells you how in the tank they were for the vaccine companies and how sort of how they lost their minds about the risks and benefits of this vaccine.
00:13:01.000 No, this vaccine should not have been approved for children.
00:13:04.000 The mRNAs should not have been approved for children.
00:13:08.000 Again, European countries didn't go this route.
00:13:11.000 And I think the FDA, under Bobby Kennedy, under the new FDA commissioner, Marty Macri, and under Vinay Prasad, who actually runs the vaccine division, I hope those guys are going to push to essentially pull approval.
00:13:26.000 On some level, it doesn't matter at this point because parents have seen this for themselves and they've profoundly rejected the mRNA vaccines for kids.
00:13:35.000 Something like 3% of kids got boosters last year, and this year it's going to be fewer.
00:13:40.000 So people know, they know that they got their kids vaccinated for this.
00:13:44.000 You know, unfortunately, a lot of them were foolish enough to do that.
00:13:47.000 Or, you know, foolish is the wrong word.
00:13:48.000 They were sort of suckered into doing it in 2022.
00:13:52.000 And they saw their kids had, you know, many cases, bad fever, severe side effects.
00:13:56.000 And then guess what?
00:13:57.000 The kids who weren't vaccinated and got COVID had like a day of a cold.
00:14:02.000 So they know it was a really bad bet.
00:14:05.000 And I think we're in a place where, you know, we're going forward.
00:14:10.000 There's going to be a lot more skepticism.
00:14:11.000 One question people have said to me is, is there going to be accountability here?
00:14:16.000 Is somebody going to actually crack the hammer on Moderna or on Pfizer?
00:14:21.000 And I don't know the answer to that.
00:14:22.000 It sort of depends on what the companies actually hid, what their behavior was.
00:14:27.000 They have very strong legal protections.
00:14:31.000 But, you know, if their conduct was really bad, there might be a way to pierce those.
00:14:36.000 But I don't want to promise that because it's pretty unlikely.
00:14:39.000 Yeah, I mean, that was going to be my next question: what does accountability look like?
00:14:42.000 Can these families sue? 0.58
00:14:45.000 Can, you know, I know we have the vaccine immunity with these vaccine makers.
00:14:51.000 And so the question is then, what are the lessons learned and what can the new regime at the FDA do to protect parents and kids?
00:14:59.000 Regime is going to be a lot more skeptical about vaccines.
00:15:02.000 That is the key.
00:15:03.000 And they may be more skeptical in general about drug companies going forward as they should be, but they're going to be very skeptical about vaccines.
00:15:12.000 You know, the word vaccine to people on the left and in the public health community, it's almost like this religious word to them.
00:15:19.000 It's like if you have to bow to the great God vaccine and you can't raise questions and you can't say, hey, maybe a vaccine that makes sense for a 75-year-old doesn't make sense for a two-year-old.
00:15:31.000 And maybe, you know, if your child is at zero risk from hepatitis B, forcing them to get a hepatitis B shot when they're at birth doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:15:41.000 So there's been this, again, this love, this strange fixation in the public health community with being unwilling to question vaccines.
00:15:51.000 And it's very clear that Vinay and Marty and RFK are going to be more skeptical.
00:15:58.000 And, you know, are they going to do everything the way I would do it?
00:16:02.000 Not necessarily, but they're going to follow the science, I think.
00:16:06.000 They're going to try to make good decisions.
00:16:08.000 And I hope that's going to lead to a smarter vaccine schedule.
00:16:11.000 And ideally, what it will lead to is more parental confidence, not less.
00:16:16.000 But getting these mRNA COVID shots off the market for kids is the first step in that.
00:16:21.000 Yeah, well said.
00:16:23.000 I actually agree with you that it's going to lead to more parental trust.
00:16:26.000 If we're willing to say no to certain vaccines and yes to others, I think it's going to inspire a lot more trust with parents out there.
00:16:32.000 Alex, we got to wrap up here.

00:18:09.000 Thank you, Andrew.
00:18:10.000 Thanks for having me on, brother.
00:18:11.000 Yeah, well, listen, I had to have you back on because you are in the know on this one.
00:18:18.000 You're part of the committee here, Senator Armed Services Committee.
00:18:22.000 Now, with Senator Wicker, news broke that he and the senator from Delaware, right?
00:18:30.000 Rhode Island.
00:18:31.000 White House?
00:18:32.000 Jack Wayne.
00:18:33.000 Yeah, Jack Wayne.
00:18:34.000 That's the one.
00:18:35.000 Thank you.
00:18:36.000 They have launched what they're calling and framing is a bipartisan inquiry into the strike on the narco-terrorist boat that has caused all the kerfuffle, which the New York Times now has rebutted the Washington Post's original reporting that Secretary Hegset somehow called for the second strike.
00:18:55.000 That's not what happened.
00:18:58.000 I needed to bring you on to help make sense of this.
00:19:00.000 How did we get to this point where we're playing footsie with the Democrats to investigate Trump's cabinet?
00:19:05.000 Well, what happened is it wasn't an inquiry.
00:19:09.000 It was actually an oversight.
00:19:11.000 So Senator Wicker, I actually had a conversation with him today and said, so what are we doing here?
00:19:18.000 I mean, are we playing games?
00:19:19.000 Do we think that Jack Reed is going to move into a bipartisan manner because he has not been bipartisan at all?
00:19:26.000 I hate to say it because I'm not trying to give the guy any credit at all because he is on my, I'm using a Christmas term here.
00:19:32.000 He is on my naughty list.
00:19:33.000 That would be Mark Kelly.
00:19:36.000 He and Mark Kelly has been more bipartisan on the Senate Armed Services Committee than Jack Reed has.
00:19:44.000 And what Wicker said is, no, this has got blown out of proportion.
00:19:48.000 This was simply an oversight.
00:19:49.000 Like today, we had an oversight on a lot of accidents, an oversight hearing, a lot of accidents that's been happening on aircraft carriers on certain platforms.
00:19:57.000 And he says that's all this is intended.
00:19:59.000 This isn't to drag Secretary Heckseth up here. 1.00
00:20:03.000 It's not to, we've already been briefed on the operation.
00:20:06.000 This is just to make sure that Congress is basically still informed.
00:20:10.000 Now, those were his words.
00:20:11.000 This thing could morph Andrew into anything.
00:20:15.000 I think it's a very slippery slope.
00:20:17.000 And when we start down this road, if we start bringing in individuals because we know that they are well within their authority, they meaning the Secretary of War and President Trump is well within their authority to prevent terrorist activities coming to our shores and by hitting them in international water or hitting them in U.S. water, whatever takes place, they're within their authority to do that because they have been deemed a terrorist organization.
00:20:43.000 And thank God someone's finally being proactive and killed them.
00:20:46.000 By the way, a recent poll just came out that was by a, I would say, a bipartisan, if not left-leaning, pollster company that said that 71% of America actually supports President Trump hitting these narco boats in international water. 0.95
00:21:06.000 I just want to flag this because this is an email we got from one of our listeners at Freeman at Charlie Kirk and send us more.
00:21:11.000 How do you feel about this?
00:21:12.000 And he just said he contacted Congressman Mike Turner's office because Mike Turner was questioning this, saying it could be in the House side on the House side.
00:21:21.000 And he's saying, I don't know a single Republican who doesn't fully support Hegseth and the Pentagon on this.
00:21:28.000 He says Republican voters are furious if that Republican leadership would work with Democrats to hamstring or damage Hegseth over this.
00:21:36.000 So I think we need some perspective here.
00:21:38.000 Our base definitely likes blowing up drug smugglers.
00:21:40.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:21:42.000 It's going after the bad guys, right?
00:21:44.000 I mean, it's simple.
00:21:45.000 Go after the bad guys.
00:21:46.000 Why would we allow them to get on our shores and distribute their park product when if you look at the numbers in 2024, we lost more Americans on our streets to drug overdoses than we did in the entire Vietnam War. 0.97
00:22:03.000 So this is not just a pandemic.
00:22:07.000 This is a war that we're having.
00:22:10.000 These narco boats and terrorist organizations, they don't care about the lives of our brothers and sisters and loved ones and friends. 1.00
00:22:20.000 So why the heck are we playing this game?
00:22:22.000 Does the Democrats think that these aren't drug boats?
00:22:26.000 Do they think these aren't drug dealers?
00:22:29.000 Do they think these drugs aren't coming to our shores?
00:22:31.000 Do they think that the cartels aren't terrorist organizations?
00:22:34.000 Or is it just the anti-Trump syndrome and the derange Trump syndrome that's taking over the fact that anything President Trump does, they're going to object to.
00:22:45.000 And what we got to be careful is some Republicans that we don't join their rhetoric.
00:22:51.000 And I just, I want to remind people, what did so much damage to the first Trump administration?
00:22:57.000 It was the Russiagate hoax.
00:22:59.000 They come out with this.
00:23:00.000 They make it sound extremely serious and super, super duper real.
00:23:04.000 And we had a trifecta just like this time where we had Republican Senate, Republican House, and they allowed themselves to be dragged into this morass of investigation.
00:23:15.000 Oh, we have to look at it.
00:23:16.000 We have to make sure everything is fair.
00:23:18.000 And that blew out the entire two-year period.
00:23:21.000 We had that trifecta for basically nothing.
00:23:24.000 It was essentially we self-sabotaged ourselves, and Democrats would love nothing more than to let us sabotage ourselves again on important policies on the border, on migration, on internal security.
00:23:35.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:23:36.000 Well, and I just want to, this is a direct note to Senator Wicker and Congressman Turner.
00:23:43.000 You are playing with fire here by playing footsie with the Democrats on this stuff.
00:23:47.000 I hope that this is simply you guys checking a box and moving on and there's nothing to see here.
00:23:56.000 But if this turns into what Blake just described is Trump 1.0 all over again, same playbook, your base is going to be livid.
00:24:05.000 There will be political consequences for both of these gentlemen.
00:24:07.000 And I just want to, these are the people that they're playing footsie with here, Senator.
00:24:13.000 And I know you have to be collegial.
00:24:14.000 This is the Senate.
00:24:16.000 You guys are a big fraternity over there.
00:24:18.000 And I actually respect that.
00:24:19.000 I respect fraternities, brother.
00:24:22.000 Never putting up a plan.
00:24:23.000 No, I just respect that.
00:24:24.000 You got to do it a different way.
00:24:25.000 I can be a little bit more forceful.
00:24:27.000 But these are the people you're playing footsie with here.
00:24:29.000 199.
00:24:30.000 This is U.S. Senator Chris Murphy talking about Pete Hegseth.
00:24:34.000 Pete Hegseth needs to resign.
00:24:36.000 And if he doesn't resign, Donald Trump needs to fire him.
00:24:38.000 He is a walking, talking national security embarrassment.
00:24:43.000 He seems more interested in winning video pull-up contests than he does in protecting this nation.
00:24:51.000 He's obsessed with the weight of his soldiers, the facial hair of his soldiers, not concerned with actually keeping the country safe.
00:25:00.000 But wait, there's more.
00:25:01.000 Here's Senator Mark Kelly.
00:25:03.000 And I want to get into this because this feels like a coordinated op.
00:25:06.000 First, they give these six lawmakers come out with this video, seeding the ground.
00:25:11.000 It comes out of nowhere.
00:25:12.000 And then you get this WAPO story alleging a war crime against Secretary Hegseth.
00:25:18.000 And, oh, oh, that just was a convenient timed story from Washington Post, even though the New York Times now rebutted it.
00:25:24.000 It all feels way too convenient.
00:25:26.000 And Mark Kelly's just going out on the media circuit here, Senator.
00:25:29.000 Keeps hitting the story again and again and again.
00:25:31.000 Here he is, 200.
00:25:33.000 He's putting out on the internet turtles with rocket-propelled grenades.
00:25:40.000 I mean, have you seen this?
00:25:42.000 This is the Secretary of Defense.
00:25:44.000 This is not a serious person.
00:25:46.000 He should have been fired after Signalgate.
00:25:49.000 All I'm going to remind everyone is we had Disney cartoons in World War II where Donald Duck fights Hitler.
00:25:55.000 Well, there you go.
00:25:56.000 So it's fun.
00:25:56.000 Yeah, and we also had Disney cartoons in the Korean War.
00:25:59.000 We also had them in the Vietnam War.
00:26:02.000 By the way, we also had them in Deader Storm.
00:26:05.000 It's just stupid.
00:26:06.000 It's just, you know, you got Murphy and you got Kelly that are jockeying for leadership inside the Democrat Party because there is no leadership.
00:26:13.000 Hakeem Jeffrey is a joke.
00:26:15.000 You got obviously Chuck Schumer, who, you know, is a joke.
00:26:19.000 And so people are just moving around and it's ridiculous.
00:26:23.000 But we do, Andrew, we do have to be very careful on the way we move forward with this, which is why I wanted to talk to Senator Wicker this morning.
00:26:34.000 And by the way, the White House is being very, very, very transparent.
00:26:38.000 They've already briefed the committee on the ongoing narco boats that were blowing up.
00:26:49.000 Plus, they now offer to bring in legal papers, to which I think I'm getting a brief on in about an hour from now, that the White House is literally walking over the papers.
00:26:58.000 Well, they're probably driving it and getting out and walking.
00:27:00.000 They're delivering it in a sealed bag.
00:27:01.000 I've got to go down into a skiff, and they're going to read me in on everything that took place.
00:27:09.000 And 27 members of Congress have already got read in, 27 senators.
00:27:13.000 And I forget how many members in the House have got right into it.
00:27:17.000 So it's not like the White House isn't being transparent here.
00:27:21.000 They are being extremely transparent.
00:27:23.000 And I can tell you what I have been briefed on on this specific strike that the Democrats are losing their beloving mind on, plus on the ongoing operations.
00:27:34.000 We are well within our authority.
00:27:36.000 In fact, the American people and the Democrats should be proud because it's not just the narco boats that they're taking out. 1.00
00:27:42.000 They got a coordinated effort going on with DHS, with Secretary Christy Noam, that are disrupting their drug rings and routes and distribution lines and money laundering inside the United States.
00:27:55.000 So people want to look at just what ICE is doing, but while they're in these cities, these are heavily drug-trafficked areas too.
00:28:01.000 They're disrupting all of their infrastructure.
00:28:05.000 So you have President Trump that has finally taken a full press approach to drugs, which the last president do that, by the way, was Ronald Reagan.
00:28:13.000 But Ronald Reagan really focused more on the, you know, on Columbia, Central, and South America.
00:28:19.000 President Trump is going to the countries, going to the cartels, designating them as a terrorist organization using our military and international waters, using our Coast Guard and U.S. waters, and then using law enforcement and disrupting them on both ends of the chain, from the distribution side to the delivery side, and then to where the finances come from.
00:28:40.000 I mean, it's it this should be every American should be saying good on you because there's not one of us, not one of your people listening to the show, none of the people that are that are helping produce the show or you guys that doesn't know somebody that's been affected by this pandemic of drugs in our in our country right now.
00:29:00.000 Well, you're absolutely right.
00:29:02.000 I mean, we all probably have personal anecdotes that we could relate.
00:29:05.000 And I just want to leave us with this final thought that they sow doubt in the military saying you can disobey direct orders.
00:29:14.000 And then they have this follow-up story suggesting war crimes at the highest level to say, look, see, we told you you need to start disobeying the commander in chief.
00:29:24.000 It's very, very serious, Senator.
00:29:26.000 So I just want to make sure that we're all seeing it for what it is.
00:29:29.000 This is a coordinated operation to, you know, Eric Schmidt, one of your colleagues is saying color revolution.
00:29:35.000 You know, this has a lot of the hallmarks of that.
00:29:38.000 So thank you for joining us.
00:29:39.000 I look forward to hearing more on what you hear and what they brief you with, Senator.
00:29:43.000 Thank you again.
00:29:44.000 Thanks, guys.
00:29:44.000 Thanks for having me on.
00:29:45.000 We'll see you soon.
00:29:48.000 This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner of YReFi.
00:29:53.000 It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.
00:29:58.000 His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.
00:30:04.000 Now, here Charlie, in his own words, tell you about YReFi.
00:30:08.000 I'm going to tell you guys about whyRefi.com.
00:30:10.000 That is why FY.com.
00:30:12.000 WhyReFi is incredible.
00:30:13.000 Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion.
00:30:17.000 WhyReFi is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans.
00:30:21.000 You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget.
00:30:25.000 Go to whyrefi.com.
00:30:26.000 That is whyrefi.com.
00:30:28.000 If you have a co-borrower, why ReFi can get them released from the loan.
00:30:32.000 You're going to skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty.
00:30:34.000 It may not be available in all 50 states.
00:30:36.000 Go to whyrefi.com.
00:30:38.000 That is why.com.
00:30:40.000 Let's face it, if you have distress or defaulted student loans, it can be overwhelming.
00:30:44.000 Because of private student loan debt, so many people feel stuck.
00:30:47.000 Go to yrefi.com.
00:30:49.000 That is why.com.
00:30:52.000 Private student loan debt relief, yrefi.com.
00:30:57.000 Blake, let's get to some emails here.
00:30:59.000 Yeah, we got quite a few.
00:31:00.000 We had an interesting one from someone who asked their name be withheld, but they said that their younger brother got, they believe, type 1 diabetes after getting the chickenpox vaccine when he was seven.
00:31:14.000 And they say in their church of about 400 people, 7 to 12 kids in the same age range all have type 1 diabetes, and they believe it could be related to that.
00:31:23.000 I don't know of any alleged connection between those because I do suspect.
00:31:28.000 Suggested some.
00:31:29.000 Maybe.
00:31:29.000 It's possible.
00:31:30.000 But again, there are a lot of illnesses that just manifest when you're a young child.
00:31:35.000 And then you also happen to get vaccinated when you're a young child.
00:31:39.000 But interesting, though, it is genetic, apparently.
00:31:43.000 Scott says it's called sowing dissent in regards to General Kelly.
00:31:47.000 It's not General Kelly.
00:31:48.000 It's Captain Kelly, Senator Kelly.
00:31:50.000 No ranking here.
00:31:53.000 I agree.
00:31:54.000 Sowing dissent.
00:31:54.000 That's exactly what they're doing it on purpose to sow distrust, dissent in the ranks.
00:31:59.000 And then they come out with a story that says, hey, look, we told you that there could be illegal orders, this double tap kill.
00:32:06.000 Kyrie says, I believe the strikes against drug boats fall under the category of self-defense.
00:32:11.000 I mourn the death of any human being, but they are entering at their own risk, and their blood is on their own heads.
00:32:18.000 I support Secretary Hegseth.
00:32:21.000 I didn't see anyone who was really skeptical of vaporizing bad people.
00:32:25.000 People are like it.
00:32:27.000 This is a positive policy.
00:32:28.000 This is a very popular policy.
00:32:30.000 Kevin says most Republicans are too concerned with being liked by people that will never give them that satisfaction.
00:32:36.000 Praise God, Senator Mark Moyne Molin is not in that boat.
00:32:41.000 He also said he sent two emails, and he also said it's time to end the filibuster because he says Murkowski and Collins are working to get rid of Hegseth, he believes.
00:32:49.000 Now, that does show the flip side, which is it's possible he's correct on those two.
00:32:54.000 But if there's even one or two more, that's the hazard with the filibuster is do you have the majority to pass the things that you need to get?
00:33:02.000 You've got McConnell still there.
00:33:03.000 He's not going to pay.
00:33:04.000 And who knows who secretly is not, maybe secretly doesn't love the agenda on immigration.
00:33:09.000 You got Wicker who's even launching oversight.
00:33:13.000 Nothing would be worse than blowing up the filibuster and achieving nothing with it.
00:33:18.000 And then Democrats have absolute moral, they feel they have absolute moral leeway to pass everything they want.
00:33:25.000 If you want to get rid of the filibuster, make sure you have a plan and that you have the votes to enact that plan.
00:33:30.000 And it's good.
00:33:30.000 You know what that makes me think of is like Hav D, some of those real tight Senate races that we just didn't quite get over the finish line.
00:33:39.000 One or two more votes would have made this much more of a viable plan.
00:33:43.000 Exactly, exactly.
00:33:44.000 Yeah.
00:33:44.000 Or to have like a Nate Morris in Kentucky as opposed to McConnell.
00:33:51.000 So some of those things, maybe reinforcements are coming down the pike, but we don't have them right now.
00:33:55.000 We don't have enough.
00:33:56.000 I remember throughout the 2010s, you had these winnable races that you lost for one reason or another in Delaware.
00:34:05.000 We could have flipped a Delaware Senate seat.
00:34:06.000 I don't remember.
00:34:07.000 It was Mike Castle, and he was their representative.
00:34:09.000 He was really popular.
00:34:11.000 And he lost in the primary to Christine O'Donnell, who was, let's just be frank, she was out of what was winnable in Delaware.
00:34:19.000 And so we just lost a race that we could have had an upset.
00:34:21.000 We could have had a kind of Susan Collins type person where, yeah, are they a moderate?
00:34:25.000 Sure.
00:34:25.000 But you want a moderate Republican over a Democrat in a deep blue state.
00:34:29.000 And there were several races like that.
00:34:32.000 And it's that game of inches, which is why, if you are in Tennessee, if you live in Nashville or west of Nashville, look up.
00:34:38.000 Make sure if you are supposed to vote to go vote.
00:34:41.000 Go vote.
00:34:42.000 I don't care if we're favored to win.
00:34:44.000 Blow them out.
00:34:45.000 Narratives matter too.
00:34:46.000 Yeah, we have to win that seat.
00:34:48.000 It is a very winnable seat, but we got to show up for it and win it, win it, win it.
00:34:53.000 And vote, vote, vote.
00:34:55.000 Fight, fight, fight.
00:34:56.000 Win it for Charlie.
00:34:57.000 Come on, Tennessee 7.
