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 will 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.
00:00:38.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life, 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 All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:11.000 We are on February 4th already.
00:01:13.000 My goodness, where is the time going?
00:01:16.000 We've got a lot to get to today.
00:01:17.000 This is a jam packed show.
00:01:19.000 We're going to get right into it.
00:01:20.000 Yesterday, there was a preliminary hearing with Tyler Robinson, the accused killer.
00:01:25.000 I certainly believe he's guilty of sin.
00:01:28.000 And then we're going to have Senator Coach Tuberville, who's going to be joining us talking about the SAVE Act.
00:01:35.000 So, lots to get to.
00:01:36.000 Without further ado, I'm going to throw it over to Blake because Blake, Had the job of going over that through the all four hours of the hearing yesterday.
00:01:43.000 Alrighty.
00:01:44.000 So, this is not the trial itself.
00:01:47.000 We'll obviously be covering the trial every day once it happens.
00:01:50.000 This is yet another preliminary hearing.
00:01:52.000 There's been a lot of these.
00:01:53.000 You've heard about them where they've been trying to keep cameras out of the courtroom.
00:01:57.000 They've been litigating how exactly Robinson will be dressed when he's in the courtroom and so on.
00:02:02.000 And what the claim yesterday was is they're making a bid, they being the defense team, to disqualify the entire county attorney's office from prosecuting this case.
00:02:12.000 So, these are the County Attorney's Office for Utah County, where the shooting took place.
00:02:17.000 Can I stop us right there?
00:02:18.000 Because there's, if you go on the internet, it's like the FBI, the FBI, the FBI.
00:02:23.000 This is not a federal case.
00:02:25.000 This is being tried at the local level.
00:02:26.000 Yes.
00:02:27.000 The FBI assisted in the initial investigation.
00:02:30.000 Conceivably, there could be federal charges someday.
00:02:33.000 You never know.
00:02:33.000 Like, for example, if something went awry with this, but right now, this is a state case in Utah.
00:02:37.000 Utah County, that's where Provo is, I believe.
00:02:41.000 Sure.
00:02:42.000 And one of the largest counties, but it's not Salt Lake.
00:02:45.000 And so they've been handling this case.
00:02:47.000 And what has emerged is that the daughter of one of the prosecutors on the team was present.
00:02:54.000 At the shooting.
00:02:55.000 And so the defense team is arguing that based on this fact alone, that she was one of 3,000 people there approximately, that it should, it creates a conflict of interest and it should disqualify the entire county attorney's office.
00:03:09.000 Which, if they succeed, it would mean it would have to be taken over by either another county attorney's office or by the state police.
00:03:14.000 Huge delay.
00:03:15.000 Huge delay, messes everything up, just drags the case out more, creates more uncertainty.
00:03:22.000 That's entirely what their plan is.
00:03:24.000 Now, thankfully, Legal experts who've commented on this say this is a pretty big long shot.
00:03:29.000 It'd be one thing if she was one of the one or two witnesses to the event.
00:03:34.000 Right.
00:03:35.000 Of course.
00:03:35.000 This is 3,000 people, and plus everyone saw it very quickly online.
00:03:39.000 And so the claim that there's some sort of special aspect to that is a long shot.
00:03:43.000 But they were asking them about it in court yesterday.
00:03:46.000 And what's interesting about it is it gives us an insight as to what evidence they've collected so far, what they're planning to bring, and also what the defense against it might be.
00:03:56.000 So, for example, They had Agent David Hull, one of the investigators, they had him on the stage and they were just cross examining him.
00:04:04.000 The state itself was actually cross examining him about all the evidence they'd found because they're pointing out, did any of this have anything to do with the daughter at all?
00:04:10.000 And he's saying no over and over again.
00:04:13.000 By the way, this was a surprise to some of us because we've been told that the preliminary hearing where the evidence will be first presented is not going to be until May.
00:04:23.000 We got to see this little small glimpse into some of the way the defense is thinking, some of the way the prosecution is thinking early.
00:04:31.000 For example, they're going back and forth.
00:04:33.000 On the evidence they have, like the fact that they found what they, for example, were able to find in Tyler Robinson's apartment.
00:04:41.000 Let's play the show.
00:04:41.000 Let's show 388.
00:04:42.000 Was a search warrant on the defendant's house executed in this case?
00:04:47.000 It was, yes, down in St. George.
00:04:49.000 And was evidence obtained from his house?
00:04:51.000 It was, yes.
00:04:52.000 What kind of evidence?
00:04:56.000 Kind of putting me on the spot, but if I recall, there were some bullet casings that had some inscriptions on.
00:05:02.000 There were some tools that were believed to have been used to make those inscriptions.
00:05:07.000 There were targets, I believe, that had been used and also targets that had been purchased recently or just prior to the event.
00:05:17.000 There was ring doorbell camera footage obtained from other residences down there.
00:05:23.000 And then a number of electrical items, laptops and such that were.
00:05:28.000 Collected as part of the warrant.
00:05:30.000 So we have that, for example.
00:05:32.000 We also have, they just talk about finding DNA at the scene, for example, 385.
00:05:38.000 Is DNA consistent with the defendant's DNA found on the firearm that was found at the scene?
00:05:43.000 Yes, the DNA on the firearm was consistent with that of Mr. Robinson.
00:05:47.000 And then, interestingly, they follow up on that, where then the defense team shows up and they try to do some back and forth on this.
00:05:54.000 Let's do 387.
00:05:56.000 Are you aware that the DNA evidence that was seized from the scene consisted of a mixture of at least five different individuals?
00:06:03.000 I'm not a DNA expert, so.
00:06:06.000 So you know enough to say what helps him, but you're not going to answer whether or not there were five individuals mixed into that DNA?
00:06:12.000 I'm not aware of that, no.
00:06:13.000 Okay.
00:06:14.000 And you're certainly not qualified to interpret complex DNA mixtures, are you?
00:06:18.000 No, I'm not.
00:06:19.000 Okay.
00:06:19.000 It's a little bizarre that they're going that intently at it in what is, again, a preliminary hearing, yet I guess that's a sign of what we might have to expect when this finally goes to full trial.
00:06:30.000 They're going to try to muddle the waters on DNA evidence. 0.98
00:06:33.000 There's a ton of reasons why you would find multiple.
00:06:35.000 DNA, multiple people's DNA on anything, actually.
00:06:39.000 Because people shed DNA, but to see one with a pattern that's connected to multiple different scenes, multiple different places, plus all the other evidence that there is, including video evidence.
00:06:50.000 By the way, there's a clip on video evidence that we have, right?
00:06:53.000 I'm trying to get the exact number because I don't see it in our sheet, but they had a back and forth where they just asked him because the reason they're asking this is they're diving into, they're kind of unpacking, you didn't catch this person because of a video taken by the daughter in question.
00:07:08.000 In fact, you didn't have a video of the shooting itself.
00:07:11.000 So I think it's 390, actually.
00:07:13.000 So this is Agent Hull responds to video on the rooftop.
00:07:15.000 It explains two different recordings, 390.
00:07:18.000 That roof that was recorded in that video, first, is there other surveillance of that person, a person in that location at that time running to that spot?
00:07:29.000 There is additional footage, yes.
00:07:30.000 Where does that come from?
00:07:32.000 That came from the Utah Valley University security cameras.
00:07:36.000 All right.
00:07:37.000 Is there another individual that also recorded a person running after the shooting?
00:07:43.000 from the roof.
00:07:46.000 Not to my recollection, no.
00:07:48.000 Any video from someone, do you recall a video from someone in the Hall of Flags who may have reported someone running after the shooting?
00:07:54.000 Yes, there was an individual who recorded from the Hall of Flags.
00:07:58.000 It's an interior video looking through the windows, but I believe an individual is visible on the rooftop also in that video.
00:08:07.000 There was another, though, where they just asked him, Do you have other stuff?
00:08:10.000 And he says, Actually, we have a ton of surveillance footage from the university of someone kind of tracing the suspect off campus.
00:08:16.000 And then he says they have ring doorbell footage from Orem, not just we knew about from St. George's, where, you know, around that area, but they also apparently have some from the vicinity of the shooting, tracing the suspect into the woods where they later found the firearm.
00:08:31.000 They have, they say they have security footage at businesses on the road back from Orem to St. George, where, so you get this sense, we don't know at all for sure, that they have a very strong documentary record of basically everywhere Tyler Robinson was.
00:08:49.000 We haven't seen all of those videos.
00:08:50.000 We'll presumably see them when the actual trial.
00:08:53.000 But it felt like the big headline from this is it really came into focus that they are trying to get the entire prosecution dismissed because one team member, and this was a hand picked crew of prosecutors, one of these prosecutors happened to have an 18 year old daughter on the scene that day.
00:09:12.000 So we're going to keep going through some of these clips because we've got a lot of clips here.
00:09:15.000 Yeah, so we've got, again, part of their argument they're claiming is this is literally the argument defense is making.
00:09:23.000 That they wouldn't be pursuing the death penalty in this case if not for the personal dimension that one of the attorney's daughters was there.
00:09:30.000 We have a clip of this.
00:09:31.000 And so they asked him about this.
00:09:32.000 This is now the county attorney, Jeffrey Gray, who was among other things, they point out he ran on a campaign promise to pursue the death penalty in appropriate cases.
00:09:43.000 Because they're elected.
00:09:43.000 And won.
00:09:44.000 And he ran on that.
00:09:45.000 And so they asked him about this.
00:09:47.000 389.
00:09:48.000 I'm going to refer to the prosecutor in your office whose child was present at the shooting as Prosecutor A. Do you know who I'm talking about?
00:09:56.000 Yes.
00:09:57.000 Have you ever met Prosecutor A's child that was present at that shooting?
00:10:01.000 Not that I could remember.
00:10:03.000 I could have in passing, but not that I can remember.
00:10:09.000 Did the presence of Prosecutor A's child have any effect on the decisions you've made in this case?
00:10:14.000 Zero.
00:10:16.000 Did that child's presence have any effect on your decision to seek the death penalty?
00:10:22.000 Zero.
00:10:22.000 Why did you choose to seek the death penalty in this case?
00:10:25.000 Because the evidence that had been gathered supports the aggravated murder charge, and I believe that the death penalty is entirely appropriate in this particular case. 0.69
00:10:37.000 That's a good answer. 0.55
00:10:38.000 Yeah, it's a good answer.
00:10:39.000 I'd say throughout this, I feel a lot of confidence.
00:10:42.000 I mean, let's just compare with, for example, the big Fannie Willis, the proceedings in that related to the prosecution of Trump.
00:10:48.000 A complete farce.
00:10:49.000 You have They're bringing, she's bringing in her boyfriend for support on this case and just funneling money. 0.99
00:10:56.000 Watching the, yeah, everyone's, it's just a giant feeding frenzy of incompetence and corruption.
00:10:56.000 Getting them paid.
00:11:01.000 I feel very much here, watching this hearing.
00:11:04.000 Everyone seems very professional.
00:11:06.000 They seem very sober.
00:11:07.000 This is the team you would want handling this.
00:11:10.000 Everything feels measured.
00:11:12.000 Yes.
00:11:12.000 Nobody's being over their skis.
00:11:15.000 Nobody's getting over the top.
00:11:16.000 It's just very by the book professional.
00:11:19.000 You can tell everybody's, and by the way, there's a whole game that goes on behind the scenes.
00:11:23.000 Where the defense is trying to get the prosecution to trip up so that they can reverse the guilty verdict that we're presuming is going to come on appeal, that they can get them on a technicality.
00:11:33.000 So everybody's trying to do everything by the book.
00:11:35.000 This is frustrating for us because we want to see justice done immediately.
00:11:40.000 As a matter of fact, Erica Kirk has put in a statement saying, they have victim rights in the state of Utah.
00:11:47.000 So she's able to assert her victim rights saying, I want a speedy trial, speedy justice.
00:11:51.000 But they have to keep that in balance to make sure they don't.
00:11:55.000 Overdo it and rush too fast so that to give the defense an excuse to again reverse it on appeal.
00:12:00.000 I have a couple more clips we want to hit.
00:12:02.000 So I want to mention this in the last one, but I wanted to get to it.
00:12:05.000 This is Agent Hull again talking about the ring doorbell footage they were able to get 426.
00:12:11.000 You said you collected surveillance evidence from Utah Valley University.
00:12:15.000 Is that right?
00:12:16.000 That's correct.
00:12:17.000 Did that give you some additional information on identifying the shooter?
00:12:21.000 It did, yes.
00:12:23.000 How about doorbell cameras for the areas around Utah Valley University?
00:12:28.000 Yes, we collected a large number of doorbell camera footage from multiple residences in the area, not just in Orem, but also in St. George.
00:12:42.000 And we also recovered video footage from multiple businesses in the area of the university campus in Orem, and also from businesses between Orem and St. George.
00:12:52.000 So there's a large amount of video footage obtained.
00:12:56.000 And did those help you identify the shooter?
00:12:58.000 They did, yes.
00:13:00.000 So we know, obviously, they have some of this.
00:13:02.000 Some of this has actually already come out.
00:13:03.000 But some of it we haven't seen.
00:13:05.000 Some of it is not in public.
00:13:07.000 Including some of the surveillance footage from campus.
00:13:10.000 And then, by the way, there's a clip here talking about all of the social media and text messages that they've collected 392.
00:13:20.000 Text messages.
00:13:22.000 Did you collect text messages from associates of Tyler Robinson?
00:13:27.000 We did, yes.
00:13:31.000 And did those have any evidentiary value?
00:13:34.000 They did, yes.
00:13:36.000 How so?
00:13:38.000 Some of the communications between Mr. Robinson and people that he knew indicated that he had been involved in the incident at Utah Valley University.
00:13:46.000 Okay, and you say that indicated he had been involved.
00:13:49.000 What do you mean by that?
00:13:50.000 There was, I don't recall specifically with text messages, but some of the social media chats, there were admissions that he had been involved in the incident as the shooter.
00:14:01.000 So, all of this, some of it is insight into what will go into the trial, but we shouldn't forget what actually brought this, which the defense team openly admits, is the point of this is to drag things out, throw in uncertainty, delay the trial, delay justice.
00:14:15.000 And what seems, I think you and I both agree, it looks like a pretty open and shut case overall.
00:14:22.000 But the goal is delay.
00:14:23.000 And in fact, they admit that themselves.
00:14:25.000 Let's play 394.
00:14:27.000 We understand that there is pressure on the judicial system.
00:14:32.000 To move this case expeditiously, there is also a countervailing, and we believe, stronger need to make sure that there's a heightened standard of reliability, that there is no conflict, and that there is no appearance of conflict.
00:14:52.000 And if that takes a little bit of time for another prosecution office to get up to speed, the investigation's gonna continue, the discovery production's gonna continue.
00:15:05.000 The lab work's going to continue.
00:15:06.000 None of that is going to change.
00:15:09.000 Just give us a little bit of time.
00:15:11.000 To get a whole new prosecution team.
00:15:14.000 That's an obscene request, in my opinion.
00:15:17.000 And then there's this whole other storyline, by the way, where they don't want still images of Mr. Robinson in the media.
00:15:24.000 They have grave concerns, they say, of huge photographic lenses focused on the client, which will interfere with his right to a fair trial.
00:15:31.000 These are the central dynamics that we're just getting the first insight of now.
00:15:36.000 Very telling about how they're going to proceed.
00:15:39.000 Yep.
00:15:39.000 Now, in their defense, the judge says he's going to rule on this specific request in about three weeks.
00:15:44.000 I think on the 24th, he'll issue a written ruling.
00:15:46.000 We'll also get a ruling on the filming of the proceedings and so forth around then.
00:15:52.000 But we're going to remain on this.
00:15:54.000 We are asking for cameras in that courtroom 100%.
00:16:01.000 For a lot of Americans, the healthcare system is reactive.
00:16:04.000 You get sick first and then you wait for an appointment.
00:16:07.000 Then insurance decides what you're allowed to have, and suddenly the medication you need is delayed or it's not available.
00:16:13.000 That is where all family pharmacy is different.
00:16:16.000 This is not a typical pharmacy, it's family owned.

00:16:33.000 You do not need insurance.
00:16:34.000 You don't need to beg a doctor.
00:16:36.000 Just simple, fast, honest care.
00:16:38.000 This is what healthcare should look like in America with you in control.

00:17:29.000 Sad to lose him in the Senate, but he's running for governor of that great state.
00:17:34.000 Coach, welcome back to the show.
00:17:36.000 Thanks.
00:17:36.000 Glad to be here.
00:17:37.000 I hope everything's going good with y'all.
00:17:40.000 We finally got a little ice moved out here around our building so we can move around so we can communicate up here in a clown show.
00:17:49.000 Are you in the clown show or are you backing out south right now?
00:17:51.000 I'm assuming you're in D.C.? 0.95
00:17:53.000 No, I'm in D.C.
00:17:55.000 It's.
00:17:57.000 It's one thing or another up here, but we're making progress.
00:17:59.000 We've funded the government.
00:18:01.000 How about that?
00:18:01.000 Well, that's not a small miracle this day and age.
00:18:06.000 Coach, everybody wants to know about the Save Act.
00:18:09.000 Is it going to be brought for a vote?
00:18:11.000 Is it going to be pushed forward?
00:18:12.000 Is Thune going to get behind it?
00:18:14.000 Please just lay it out for our audience because this is one of the most massively popular agenda items, according to Americans, if you poll it.
00:18:22.000 And yet, D.C. just can't seem to get out of their own way.
00:18:25.000 No, no.
00:18:26.000 And we're scared to death of the Democrats because they pretty much control.
00:18:30.000 You know, what we do and don't do in the Senate because we got to have a few of them vote with us.
00:18:34.000 And nobody wants to put a vote on the floor that's not going to pass.
00:18:38.000 Of course, Chuck Schumer spoiled the party when he says, you're not going to get one Democrat vote.
00:18:42.000 And so it's not going to work.
00:18:44.000 You know, it's not rocket science, it's common sense.
00:18:47.000 There's two things that the American people want, especially in my state of Alabama they want to close the borders and they want to have fair voting.
00:18:57.000 And President Trump has done a miraculous job of closing the border.
00:19:01.000 Nobody knew who's in.
00:19:02.000 Of course, he's trying to kick people out, which he should continue to do.
00:19:06.000 That's the way I look at it.
00:19:07.000 But the other one is we got to help the president out on this because we've got people up here in the House and the Senate that shouldn't be here because there's blue states that have rigged the elections.
00:19:18.000 There's no doubt now.
00:19:19.000 We've seen the evidence voting machines, harvest balloting, vote 10 or 15 times, illegals voting. 0.85
00:19:28.000 We have got to do something about these blue states. 0.72
00:19:31.000 And we all want to say, let's let their states control their own voting.
00:19:37.000 If we do that, We will lose a majority.
00:19:40.000 A minority will lose in the House, the Senate, and I don't know whether we can win another presidency if we don't get the SAVE Act through Congress and signed by President Trump.
00:19:51.000 Yeah, no, I completely agree.
00:19:53.000 The SAVE Act, it's one of these frustrations that the base, everybody should have with D.C.
00:19:59.000 Now, I know you've got to be collegial.
00:20:03.000 I know you have to, these are your colleagues in the Senate, and the Senate has a certain decorum, which I can appreciate.
00:20:10.000 But help me understand where Leader Thune is at on this issue.
00:20:15.000 Are we going to see a vote?
00:20:17.000 Are we going to get rid of the zombie filibuster to have this vote?
00:20:21.000 Do you feel the courage welling up inside the man's chest?
00:20:25.000 Or, you know, help us understand where we're at.
00:20:28.000 Well, Thune's in a tough spot because the president wants this voted on, but he knows it won't pass because we got to have 60 votes.
00:20:35.000 The only way to pass this is to bust the filibuster.
00:20:38.000 And we've got 10 or 15 people up here, maybe even more than that on the Republican side that basically said, we're not going to bust the filibuster.
00:20:45.000 And so if we don't do that, that means we won't get anything else done in the Senate or the House or the White House for President Trump unless an executive order.
00:20:55.000 We're done.
00:20:56.000 Now they say we have one more reconciliation.
00:20:58.000 That's 51 votes.
00:21:00.000 But I see very little work done on that.
00:21:03.000 But, you know, I was not for busting the filibuster.
00:21:07.000 But after listening to these crazies on the left, it's not the Democrats anymore.
00:21:11.000 It's the Uh, the Democrat Socialist Party of America on the left, and even the Democrats have moved that way.
00:21:19.000 I know they don't believe in all of it, but to get reelected, and that's what this business is in DC it's hey, we want to get reelected where we have more power, it's not about doing what's right for the American people.
00:21:30.000 So, uh, we have if we're going to help President Trump, we've got to have enough people to step up and say, okay, you know, let's get this done 51 votes.
00:21:39.000 Because if we don't, the very first thing that the uh, the Democrats will do when they take power, and that they'll bust the filibuster.
00:21:48.000 And I don't know whether we'll ever gain any power back because after that, they'll change everything they possibly can with 51 votes in the Senate.
00:21:57.000 Yeah.
00:21:57.000 So, you know, we had Senator Mark Wayne Molin on talking about potentially including this in a reconciliation bill, but you're saying you haven't seen much work done on that.
00:22:08.000 That's discouraging.
00:22:12.000 If we could get to 50 plus one, the House has already passed this.
00:22:18.000 I just, I mean, I hate it.
00:22:19.000 It's very frustrating.
00:22:20.000 It's very frustrating.
00:22:21.000 It's frustrating to hear we can't pass controversial stuff because there will be backlash and we'll lose the election.
00:22:26.000 But now we're at the point where we can't pass overwhelmingly popular stuff because there'll be backlash and something bad. 0.60
00:22:34.000 Well, and this is what's wild, too, Senator, is that we have, you know, you got 76% of black voters support voter ID.
00:22:42.000 You've got, you know, well over 80% of all American voters that support voter ID.
00:22:47.000 And yet the Democrats are obstructing it.
00:22:49.000 And you have to just sort of scratch your head and ask why.
00:22:52.000 Because.
00:22:53.000 What do they know that their own voters don't know?
00:22:56.000 And the only answer to that question is not a good answer.
00:23:00.000 It's not a happy answer for this country.
00:23:02.000 It does not bode well for our future.
00:23:05.000 And I would simply submit to your colleagues in the Senate that are blocking this that there's a very good chance that you don't win re election if you don't have free and fair elections, if you don't insist upon seeing and proving somebody's identity and that they're a citizen.
00:23:19.000 Would you agree?
00:23:21.000 Oh, 100%.
00:23:23.000 If we don't pass the SAVE Act, I think it's over.
00:23:26.000 I just don't see us having fair elections in enough states to where we can maintain the seats we have, much less take any.
00:23:35.000 There's no way in the state of Georgia we should have two senators that are Democrats.
00:23:39.000 No way.
00:23:40.000 There is no way in the state of Arizona we should have two Democrats.
00:23:44.000 There's no way.
00:23:45.000 Same way with Nevada.
00:23:47.000 If you look at some of these other states, it is, and we are losing.
00:23:52.000 Now, I don't know what Mark Wayne Mullen was saying, but in a reconciliation bill, you can't put something like the Save Act in there.
00:23:59.000 It has to be about budget, it has to be about money.
00:24:02.000 And this is not about money.
00:24:03.000 Well, in his defense, his point was that there would be cost in sort of federalizing certain aspects of the election at the state level.
00:24:11.000 So you could, I guess.
00:24:12.000 I would love to do that.
00:24:14.000 Yeah.
00:24:15.000 Yeah.
00:24:16.000 The question then becomes can you get it done before September time period?
00:24:20.000 And is that enough time to, you know, Put it into action in the states.
00:24:24.000 There'd be lawsuits.
00:24:26.000 Who knows?
00:24:26.000 Who knows?
00:24:27.000 But if we get it done now, I completely agree with you.
00:24:30.000 This is existential for the country.
00:24:33.000 And we've got all these blue states that are losing voters.
00:24:36.000 They're moving to red states.
00:24:38.000 If we had a proper census in 2020, we'd already be there where the blue wall would be out of play.
00:24:43.000 Wouldn't even matter.
00:24:44.000 If you just hold the sun belt, you win the national election.
00:24:47.000 And so they're moving out.
00:24:49.000 We're winning voter reg battles all across the country.
00:24:52.000 And yet somehow, You know, we've got this party that's importing voters.
00:24:56.000 They're mostly being protected in blue jurisdictions and sanctuary jurisdictions.
00:25:01.000 And you just have to start wondering, you know, it's all rigged.
00:25:05.000 We can see that it's rigged.
00:25:06.000 You don't even have to get into tabulators.
00:25:08.000 You don't have to get into vote switching.
00:25:10.000 You don't have to get into any of the controversial, the really controversial stuff, which I believe there's a lot there.
00:25:15.000 You could just simply look at the policies of the left and Democrat Party protecting. 0.99
00:25:19.000 And by the way, coach, they're literally going with married women and black people are too dumb to get voter ID. 1.00
00:25:27.000 To get an ID. 0.99
00:25:28.000 That's their whole pitch on Jim Crow 2.0. 0.99
00:25:31.000 It's just so cynical and dumb at this point. 0.99
00:25:35.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:25:37.000 You got to look at it.
00:25:38.000 Okay.
00:25:39.000 The Democratic Socialist Party now has transitioned.
00:25:43.000 They're losing minority votes.
00:25:46.000 President Trump got more black votes in the history of a presidential election, right? 0.60
00:25:52.000 They're losing middle class votes.
00:25:53.000 Democrats used to be for the working man, that's come over to the Republican side. 0.74
00:25:58.000 So the new girlfriend for the Democrat Socialist Party is illegal aliens. 0.50
00:26:03.000 They got to have them because they're losing a lot of votes out of those other two groups. 0.98
00:26:08.000 Coming Republican, going back to actually voting for American, the way of life. 0.97
00:26:14.000 So the Democrats have to have their new girlfriend, the illegal aliens. 1.00
00:26:21.000 And so that's what you're seeing happen in Minneapolis. 0.84
00:26:23.000 You're seeing the same thing happen in California, in New York.
00:26:27.000 And that's the reason they have to keep the Save Act from going across the finish line.
00:26:33.000 Because if that happens, their new girlfriend is going to find a new boyfriend. 0.99
00:26:37.000 It's going to be out of this country, it's going to be Republicans.
00:26:40.000 So, President Trump has been calling for the, and I love the way you said that, by the way, the new girlfriend.
00:26:45.000 We're going to steal that with attribution when I remember, Coach.
00:26:49.000 But President Trump is calling for the federalization of elections.
00:26:54.000 You know, you could do that through an EO, but it would be much better to have it, you know, done through Congress.
00:27:00.000 I think that is probably a far cry as well if we can't even get the SAVE Act done.
00:27:04.000 What do you support that, and what would that even look like if instituted?
00:27:09.000 Well, you're talking about federalized elections?
00:27:12.000 Yes, that's what they say.
00:27:13.000 Yeah, because President Trump was saying that they are agents of the federal government when they're conducting federal elections.
00:27:18.000 So the federal government has a role to play in overseeing local elections because they're not doing it right in places like Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta.
00:27:27.000 There are so many issues of states and municipalities proving that they cannot competently run an election that includes federal offices.
00:27:36.000 Yeah, well, you're not going to have a fair election as long as you don't have ID for voting.
00:27:42.000 You're not going to have a fair election if you have harvest balloting.
00:27:45.000 That's not going to happen.
00:27:46.000 You're not going to have a fair election if you have these machines.
00:27:49.000 We've got to do away with them.
00:27:51.000 I know this is the 21st century, but folks, we're smart enough to have a ballot, paper ballot.
00:27:57.000 You go market, you turn it in, and you go home.
00:28:00.000 And you also do it in a one day period, not this week or two weeks.
00:28:05.000 It's nonsense to do what we're doing in these blue states.
00:28:09.000 And, you know, again, they are rigged.
00:28:12.000 These things are rigged.
00:28:14.000 We can't win.
00:28:15.000 And again, I'm just sick to death about what happened in Georgia.
00:28:18.000 You know, when I won in 2020, President Trump called me at nine o'clock after I'd won.
00:28:23.000 And congratulations, coach.
00:28:24.000 I said, How's it going?
00:28:25.000 I said, I'm doing great in all the swing states.
00:28:27.000 I'm 300,000 up here, 400,000, 500,000 up in Georgia.
00:28:31.000 And he loses all of them.
00:28:32.000 And how does that happen?
00:28:34.000 They cheated him.
00:28:35.000 We all know that.
00:28:37.000 And the mainstream media just, Just hit the ceiling if you say something like that.
00:28:42.000 But, folks, facts is facts.
00:28:44.000 You know, all you got to do now is look at the videos, all the information coming out.
00:28:49.000 You know, there were Republicans that were sued and went to jail for this nonsense.
00:28:54.000 And again, we got to take our country back.
00:28:57.000 We got to quit playing soft.
00:28:58.000 And that's the reason we don't bust this filibuster.
00:29:01.000 We're just handing on a silver platter to the Democrats, the United States of America, to turn socialist and communist.
00:29:09.000 And I'm telling you, it's coming in.
00:29:12.000 Exactly.
00:29:13.000 And I'm sick of all that.
00:29:14.000 I mean, this is a country that was built by our forefathers, and we're not going to give it up. 0.98
00:29:19.000 Christianity built this country. 1.00
00:29:21.000 We're not going to give it to a group of people, like you just said, these Islamic terrorists who are coming here to not assimilate, but to tear it down. 1.00
00:29:29.000 And just look in Texas. 1.00
00:29:31.000 My God, they have taken over cities in Texas, the deep south.
00:29:36.000 It just makes me sick at my stomach, but we're going to keep fighting. 0.97
00:29:39.000 Yeah, Senator, I wanted to talk more about Sharia law.
00:29:42.000 But I'm running out of time.
00:29:44.000 But God bless you.
00:29:44.000 Keep fighting.
00:29:45.000 Pass the SAVE Act.
00:29:46.000 Find a way.
00:29:47.000 Do what you got to do, Senator.
00:29:48.000 Thank you.
00:29:50.000 Yeah, we got to get it across the goal line.
00:29:52.000 Thank you.
00:29:52.000 God bless you.
00:29:56.000 Hi, folks.
00:29:56.000 Andrew Colvett here.
00:29:58.000 I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y Refi.
00:30:00.000 You've probably been hearing me talk about Y Refi for some time now.
00:30:04.000 We are all in with these guys.
00:30:06.000 If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call.
00:30:12.000 Maybe you're behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default.
00:30:16.000 You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore.
00:30:19.000 Y Refi will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay.
00:30:23.000 They tailor each loan individually, they can save you thousands of dollars, and you can get your life back.
00:30:30.000 We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.
00:30:36.000 Many of them don't even know how much they owe.
00:30:38.000 Why Refi can help.
00:30:39.000 Just go to whyrefi.com.
00:30:42.000 That's the letter Y, then refi.com.
00:30:45.000 And remember, whyrefi doesn't care what your credit score is.
00:30:48.000 Just go to whyrefi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
00:30:54.000 Let's get into Tom Holman held a press conference in Minneapolis this morning.
00:30:58.000 He obviously was deployed by the president to kind of.
00:31:01.000 Tighten the ship.
00:31:02.000 Yep.
00:31:03.000 So we had the clashes between ICE and all of the agitators, the comms, insurrectionists, the comms, insurgents in Minneapolis. 0.97
00:31:14.000 And the goal is to have fewer controversies and still make sure that people who don't belong in this country are getting out of this country. 0.73
00:31:23.000 Now, part of what people have seen, and we should lead with this, is he has announced they surged 7,000 people into the Minneapolis. 0.97
00:31:30.000 3,000, was it?
00:31:31.000 Or 3,000.
00:31:31.000 Maybe it's 3,000.
00:31:32.000 But he's announced that they're dialing back that.
00:31:35.000 Amount of surge.
00:31:36.000 And so, this is the big headline 417.
00:31:38.000 I have announced effective immediately.
00:31:40.000 We will draw down 700 people effective today.
00:31:47.000 700 law enforcement personnel.
00:31:49.000 Okay, now the why is coming up.
00:31:52.000 And also, just keep in mind that this has to happen at some point.
00:31:55.000 We're not going to perpetually keep 15, 20% of ICE in Minneapolis, as satisfying as that might be sometimes.
00:32:02.000 But he explains that the reason they're able to pull these out is that they're getting.
00:32:08.000 New cooperation from the state of Minnesota, the city of Minneapolis, that they previously were not able to get.
00:32:14.000 So, this is 418.
00:32:16.000 We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before they hit the streets.
00:32:26.000 Unprecedented cooperation.
00:32:31.000 And I'll say it again, this is efficient, requires only one or two officers to assume custody of a criminal alien target rather than eight or 10 officers going into the community and arresting that public safety threat.
00:32:46.000 This frees up more officers to arrest or remove criminal aliens.
00:32:51.000 More officers taking custody of criminal aliens directly from the jails means less officers on the street doing criminal operations.
00:33:00.000 This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement.
00:33:05.000 And it's worth saying, Tom Homan is, gosh, I just think he's so disciplined.
00:33:12.000 In his role, that is what's.
00:33:13.000 So, Tom Homan is a field general.
00:33:16.000 We love Tom.
00:33:17.000 He's been on the show multiple times.
00:33:19.000 He loved Charlie.
00:33:20.000 Charlie loved Tom.
00:33:21.000 And we continue that relationship with Tom.
00:33:23.000 So, he's great.
00:33:24.000 But he's a field general.
00:33:25.000 But more importantly for this role right now, he's a great, disciplined messenger.
00:33:30.000 And so, of course, all of us in the base are going, hey, hey, hey, you're drawn back.
00:33:36.000 Was it not, you know, is it only the worst first?
00:33:38.000 Because I'm an all of them guy.
00:33:40.000 I'll just be really clear.
00:33:41.000 You break our laws, you invade our country, you participate in the erasure of the American culture that we love and we want to defend for our next generation, our kids and our grandkids.
00:33:51.000 You come into this country like that, heck no, you're out.
00:33:54.000 There's no negotiation, there's no sob story that's going to move me off that point, okay?
00:34:00.000 You do not bend the knee to these terrorists.
00:34:02.000 So, Tom, being the great messenger that he is, made sure he addressed exactly that concern, 409.
00:34:09.000 For those who are not a national security threat or public safety risk, you are not exempt from immigration enforcement actions.
00:34:19.000 If you're in the country illegally, you are not off the table.
00:34:22.000 And let me be clear President Trump fully intends to achieve mass deportations during this administration, and immigration enforcement actions will continue every day throughout this country.
00:34:33.000 So let me explain why this is important, what's happening here, and why the base needs to get behind what Tom's doing with the drawdown.
00:34:39.000 Now, it was BBC, it was NBC, it was Washington Post.
00:34:43.000 All of them led with the drawdown.
00:34:45.000 So, why is that important?
00:34:47.000 Because, and Breitbart had a great piece on this it's that the poll shows the majority of voters back President Trump's immigration policy.
00:34:56.000 Even despite all this media magnified, Democrat claims that the enforcement is hurting his poll numbers.
00:35:01.000 What they don't like is they don't like seeing the stuff in the streets, okay?
00:35:05.000 There's normies.
00:35:07.000 I personally have no problem with it.
00:35:08.000 Let me just be very clear.
00:35:10.000 I have zero problem with it.
00:35:12.000 But there's normies, there's independents.
00:35:14.000 All of them support mass deportations.
00:35:16.000 They want to get illegals out, but they don't want to see the images.
00:35:19.000 And the Democrats know that.
00:35:20.000 So they want to weaponize the images.
00:35:22.000 So we got to make it so that they can't do that, all right?
00:35:24.000 You got to be thinking strategically and the chess moves ahead of time.
00:35:28.000 There's stuff to flag here, which so.
00:35:30.000 Again, you need fewer agents.
00:35:32.000 It's vastly less disruptive and vastly more focused on the worst actors when you're letting them in jails, letting them into prisons, letting them actually take these malefactors right when they're most easily available and they get them out of the country.
00:35:46.000 And it has to be emphasized over and over again that the left does not want this.
00:35:52.000 The left wants criminals in America.
00:35:54.000 They want them robbing Americans. 1.00
00:35:56.000 They want them raping Americans. 1.00
00:35:57.000 They want them killing Americans. 1.00
00:35:58.000 And you can prove this. 0.99
00:35:59.000 You can go to the Washington Post.
00:36:00.000 This morning, this is a headline today, Washington Post.
00:36:03.000 Several states move to ban local cooperation in immigration arrests.
00:36:07.000 So, Maryland is going to basically ban any of their local law enforcement agencies anywhere in the state from working with ICE by, for example, letting them into jails.
00:36:16.000 They're trying to do this in New Mexico, in New York, in Hawaii, in Virginia. 0.99
00:36:20.000 The only reason to do this is that you want foreign criminals in America. 0.97
00:36:25.000 And you want it for the census and the electoral college, congressional seats, and voters. 0.99
00:36:31.000 But it would be so easy for them to say, okay, Just take these criminals and they'll try to divert it that way.
00:36:36.000 And oh, and then they can complain if they go after someone who hasn't committed any crime besides breaking into this country illegally.
00:36:42.000 They could do that.
00:36:43.000 But instead, they are so fanatical, they want the worst criminals here.
00:36:47.000 They would pay money to fly them into the country.
00:36:49.000 They want Maryland to be.
00:36:50.000 Because they did.
00:36:50.000 Yeah, they want Maryland dad to be sipping margaritas in Maryland.
00:36:54.000 So, but that's not going to happen.
00:36:55.000 We're going to get our mass deportations.
00:36:57.000 You either cooperate, do it the easy way, or you do it the hard way.
00:37:02.000 We'd much rather have it the easy way.
