00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000 This is Andrew Colvett filling in for the one and only Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I am joined by the one and only Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial.
00:00:09.000 We talk about how Vivek straight triggered the mainstream news media by calling out the Democrats wanting to replace Europeans in America.
00:00:19.000 It's just facts.
00:00:20.000 And if you don't believe me yet, wait till you hear the clips that we play in this interview with Libby and the ensuing meltdown from the left.
00:00:27.000 And then I'm also joined by J.R. Majewski, who's running for 9th District of Congress in Ohio.
00:00:34.000 And we break some exclusive tape on this show, exposing his opponent in that race as a total rhino, anti-Trump rhino, i.e., the same kind of guys you send to DC and then you go, why are they betraying us? 0.74
00:00:47.000 Well, we have tape that will prove why that's so common.
00:00:52.000 And JR responds in real time.
00:00:54.000 You're not going to want to miss it.
00:00:55.000 Buckle up.
00:00:56.000 Here we go.
00:00:57.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:58.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:01.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:04.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:07.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:08.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:09.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:16.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:18.000 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.
00:01:26.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:30.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:39.000 Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief, the Postmillennial and Human Events.
00:01:43.000 Thank you for joining, Libby.
00:01:44.000 How have you been?
00:01:45.000 I'm good, Andrew.
00:01:46.000 How are you doing?
00:01:47.000 I'm excited about Amfest.
00:01:49.000 I'm so excited about Amfest.
00:01:50.000 I think you're going to be on a panel talking about censorship, I believe.
00:01:54.000 Very excited about that.
00:01:55.000 Alex Marlow from Breitbart will also be participating in that.
00:02:00.000 I think Josh Phillip from the Epic Times.
00:02:02.000 So it's going to be amazing.
00:02:04.000 We've got all the people, all the people.
00:02:06.000 So if you have not got your tickets yet and you want to meet Libby Emmons, then you have a chance.
00:02:11.000 Amfest.com, get your tickets.
00:02:13.000 All right.
00:02:14.000 All right.
00:02:14.000 So you wrote this piece.
00:02:16.000 So this is fantastic.
00:02:18.000 Throw that graphic up if you can.
00:02:20.000 Leftists are glad the white American population is declining, but get mad when Vivek Ramaswamy points that out.
00:02:27.000 You've got to appreciate the irony here, Libby, that it takes a brown person, Vivek, who has been on the show multiple times. 0.56
00:02:35.000 He's a friend.
00:02:35.000 He's actually going to be at Amfest as well.
00:02:38.000 A brown person has the gumption to just go hard at it, right? 1.00
00:02:44.000 So let's go ahead and start by playing that clip.
00:02:47.000 I read this whole piece.
00:02:48.000 It's fantastic, Libby.
00:02:49.000 You did a great job.
00:02:50.000 Play Cut 115.
00:02:52.000 Why am I the only person on the stage, at least, who can say that the great replacement theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party's platform?
00:03:04.000 Tell us what the controversy is, what he said, and why it has inflamed such a reaction.
00:03:08.000 Yeah, so Vivek Ramaswamy, who is an undaunted proponent of America, American values, American history, was out on the debate stage on Wednesday night with the remaining candidates vying for the GOP nomination, which is going to go to Donald Trump anyway.
00:03:26.000 And he brought up something that has been on a lot of people's minds as we've seen millions and millions of people cross through the U.S.-Mexico border since Joe Biden took office.
00:03:38.000 And what he said was that it was the intention of the Democratic Party and the deep state to replace Americans who already live here with new people coming in from other parts of the world.
00:03:52.000 And what happened after he said that, and he did use the term great replacement theory and said that this was not a conspiracy, but a fact.
00:04:00.000 What he said was that this is something that Democrats want to do.
00:04:04.000 They are excited about doing it.
00:04:06.000 And then what happens is everybody freaks out as soon as he says it.
00:04:10.000 The only problem with everybody freaking out as soon as he said it is that, yes, they have been saying this for years.
00:04:17.000 You had Van Jones go on CNN and complain that Vivek Ramaswamy, the son of Indian immigrants, is akin to a Nazi.
00:04:26.000 Meanwhile, it was only in 2021 after some census data came out showing that, yes, the white population in America is declining, that Van Jones was talking about how that is a good thing. 0.97
00:04:39.000 And he was talking about how it's difficult to ask the majority population to be happy with declining numbers in their country, but that it is in fact necessary and good.
00:04:51.000 Not just Van Jones, but President Joe Biden, who was speaking at a counterterrorism conference in 2015 when he was vice president.
00:05:01.000 And this was something that was on Charlie Kirk's show yesterday.
00:05:04.000 And I hadn't remembered it until I saw that clip.
00:05:07.000 And the social media team at Postmillennial and I went back digging into that counterterrorism conference to find out what it was that Biden was saying.
00:05:16.000 And what he was saying is that the white population in the United States is in decline, and that's a good thing. 1.00
00:05:23.000 He said that there would be, you know, far less than 50% white Americans by 2017.
00:05:29.000 The Brookings Institute at the time had actually said 2042.
00:05:33.000 At any rate, everyone gets mad at Vivek.
00:05:37.000 Meanwhile, he's saying something that not only do they advocate for, but celebrate.
00:05:43.000 Let's play 111.
00:05:44.000 This is Van Jones' reaction.
00:05:47.000 And the smug, condescending way that he just spews this poison out is very, very dangerous because he won't stop Trump, but he's going to outlive Trump by about 50 years. 0.94
00:05:59.000 And you're watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person. 0.88
00:06:05.000 And literally, I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don't know that is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth.
00:06:15.000 So this is my question, Libby.
00:06:15.000 All right.
00:06:16.000 Why do they call it Nazi propaganda?
00:06:18.000 Why do they call it great replacement?
00:06:19.000 I've even heard that this is anti-Semitic to bring this up.
00:06:23.000 What's the answer there?
00:06:24.000 What's behind the scenes?
00:06:26.000 Yeah, so this is an old theory, this idea that Europe, and it came from, I think, was it 2011?
00:06:33.000 I think it was first really brought up.
00:06:35.000 But there was this idea that the European nation's populations would be replaced by immigrants from other parts of the world.
00:06:44.000 And the theory, the conspiracy theory is that this has been coordinated by that group that everyone loves to blame for everything when anything goes wrong in the world, the Jewish people. 0.99
00:06:56.000 So when you use the term great replacement theory, people only look at the conspiracy angle that this is all coordinated by Jews. 0.87
00:07:05.000 Vivek Ramaswamy was not talking about Jews at all.
00:07:08.000 In fact, he said exactly who he believes is coordinating this attempt to eradicate essentially Americans.
00:07:16.000 And I do not think that it's just white Americans.
00:07:19.000 I think that it's any natural born Americans who love this country, respect its history, and uphold its values.
00:07:25.000 And he said exactly who he was talking about, which is the deep state.
00:07:28.000 We see that.
00:07:29.000 In fact, in 2015, when Joe Biden was discussing how great it would be to reduce the population of white Americans in the United States, he was flanked by Alejandro Mayorkas, who is his DHS secretary right now.
00:07:43.000 This is the man who, in what was it, April 2021 made a statement from the White House briefing room saying, We're not saying don't come, we're saying don't come now.
00:07:53.000 This is the man who has been consistently saying that they're trying to do something at the border while you know advocating for Texas to be forced to remove the barriers that they put up to stop the flow of illegal immigration into Texas, which is, as we know, destroying Texas and causing real problems there.
00:08:12.000 So, the basis for it being an anti-Semitic theory is the background of the theory.
00:08:18.000 It's not actually about who came up with this Jewish connection, you know.
00:08:26.000 And I agree with you.
00:08:27.000 I'm sure there were some Jewish far-left groups, just like all far-left groups, want this unrelenting stream of immigration. 0.98
00:08:37.000 In 30 seconds, Libby, what I mean, what's where's the Jewish connection?
00:08:41.000 Is this actually based in some truth or a rumor?
00:08:44.000 I think this is based in a rumor.
00:08:45.000 I think this is based in large part on people liking to blame Jews for everything.
00:08:50.000 I mean, going back, you know, millennia on that one.
00:08:53.000 That's everybody's favorite scapegoat in the world.
00:08:56.000 But I think also what you see is for sure there are Jews in powerful positions across the world.
00:09:02.000 Why not?
00:09:03.000 I don't think that that is indicative of there being any kind of at all.
00:09:08.000 No, I totally agree. 0.97
00:09:09.000 I think blaming Jews for this is despicable. 0.82
00:09:11.000 I think blaming far leftists or Democrats in general, which most Jews are on the left, I think is just logic. 1.00
00:09:19.000 It's called common sense, connecting one-on-one.

00:10:21.000 I'm going to play Libby this cut from his, I think you said it was about eight years ago, of Joe Biden flanked by Majorkis.
00:10:30.000 This cut, we played it on the show yesterday, but it bears repeating.
00:10:33.000 This is really something.
00:10:35.000 I mean, it's not a conspiracy there.
00:10:37.000 It's just simply not.
00:10:38.000 And I think when we talk about it being a conspiracy, they put all the Jewish stuff aside. 0.66
00:10:44.000 I don't think any of us are thinking that.
00:10:46.000 I was born in an America where there was more than 80% white population in America.
00:10:51.000 Now it's somewhere around like 57 to 61%.
00:10:54.000 I mean, that's a dramatic metamorphosis, transformation of any country to go through in that short amount of time.
00:11:01.000 I'm not that old.
00:11:02.000 So to have the population shift that much in such a short amount of time is pretty striking, I think, for anybody.
00:11:07.000 We can see it with our own eyes.
00:11:09.000 And I think what the Democrats are doing is they're just playing a numbers game.
00:11:11.000 They're saying brown people, black people, they vote for us.
00:11:15.000 So here's a way to get power.
00:11:16.000 We're just going to kind of like on the sly, like bring in a bunch of people. 0.96
00:11:19.000 White people are too stuck in their ways. 0.99
00:11:22.000 They're too capitalist. 0.99
00:11:23.000 They're too structured in their thing.
00:11:24.000 Whatever they're doing. 0.99
00:11:26.000 The Democrats are racist. 1.00
00:11:28.000 They totally minimize the brown people. 1.00
00:11:31.000 They say brown people are going to vote for us forever. 1.00
00:11:34.000 And white liberals are just on board with this. 0.65
00:11:36.000 And they're like, oh, we hate ourselves so much that we need to be in decline and let the people who have no idea about this country, don't want to assimilate, don't even want to be American, take charge. 0.97
00:11:46.000 No, 100%.
00:11:47.000 I think what's actually, when you go one step deeper, what's fascinating about this whole kerfuffle, the fact that Van Jones would be so like he's shaking.
00:11:55.000 It's like, what's actually crazy about that is how controlled the masses are by this censorship, by this political correctness, that that would be shock.
00:12:05.000 I mean, this is all very obvious to people that are paying attention.
00:12:08.000 And the fact that you're not allowed to say it, the fact that you are called a conspiracy theorist or an anti-semi or a Nazi, if you're a brown Indian, first-generation American like Vivek, let's play COP 117. 0.84
00:12:22.000 It bears repeating, 117.
00:12:24.000 An unrelenting stream of immigration. 1.00
00:12:27.000 Non-stop, non-stop.
00:12:30.000 Not only are Muslim communities, but African communities, Asian communities, Hispanic communities.
00:12:36.000 And the wave still continues.
00:12:39.000 It's not going to stop, nor should we want it to stop.
00:12:44.000 As a matter of fact, it's one of the things I think we can be most proud of.
00:12:50.000 We shouldn't want it to stop.
00:12:52.000 Everybody knows it.
00:12:53.000 Libby, is it not about turning first Arizona and Texas as blue as California?
00:12:58.000 Isn't that kind of the first goal here?
00:13:01.000 Yeah, I think that is, I think that's a huge goal.
00:13:03.000 They want to transform these states.
00:13:06.000 They want to transform the electorate.
00:13:08.000 And I'm not convinced that if Joe Biden or whoever they replace him with, potentially, if the Democrats get another term in office, do we have any doubt that there's going to be some sort of amnesty proposed and it's going to be proposed because the court system is backed up and all these people just need an opportunity to work and do whatever else?
00:13:28.000 So, you know, I'm concerned about that as well.
00:13:30.000 It's like millions of people that would suddenly potentially get amnesty without having any connection to the United States and without having any care or concern for our values or our history.
00:13:42.000 And to me, that's the real issue.
00:13:44.000 When my ancestors came to the United States from Italy and from Norway and further back, you know, from England and France, they wanted to be American.
00:13:55.000 You know, they created America, some of them.
00:13:57.000 And the other ones, they wanted to be American.
00:13:59.000 They wanted to teach their children to be American.
00:14:01.000 They didn't teach them their native languages.
00:14:04.000 Instead, they said, we're an American now.
00:14:06.000 We love this country.
00:14:07.000 My Norwegian grandmother refused to hear a word of negativity about the United States.
00:14:14.000 To her, this was it was a dream to be here.
00:14:16.000 And how do our immigrants feel about it now? 0.90
00:14:20.000 We have people in Chicago saying, oh, it sucks here. 0.83
00:14:23.000 I'm going back to Venezuela, which, you know, go ahead, like, that's fine.
00:14:27.000 You've people in New York City who have arrived who went out to Floyd Bennett Field, where Eric Adams had set up a sort of, you know, temporary shelter type system.
00:14:37.000 And the New York Post interviewed a woman who said, there's nothing out there.
00:14:41.000 There's not even a TV, not even a TV.
00:14:44.000 You know, there weren't TVs here in the 1920s either, but people who came here wanted to be American.
00:14:51.000 I mean, it's very clear, I think, to anybody who's got eyes and a brain and isn't totally cowed by this internal sense of white guilt that this is just economic migration.
00:15:01.000 These people just want to work.
00:15:02.000 They look at America as a piggy bank.
00:15:04.000 I think many of them would love to become Americans.
00:15:06.000 I'm not discounting that.
00:15:07.000 I think, though, that the vast majority are coming because they've been told they can get in.
00:15:11.000 They want to send money back to their families.
00:15:14.000 Whatever their scenario is, this is not what the system was set up to do.
00:15:18.000 All right, really quick, Libby.
00:15:20.000 Owen Schroer is out.
00:15:22.000 This is a political prisoner that just got released.
00:15:22.000 First reactions.
00:15:25.000 Yeah, totally a political prisoner. 0.76
00:15:27.000 It was totally ridiculous and a violation of First Amendment rights to lock up a journalist for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. 0.83
00:15:34.000 He didn't even go into the building.
00:15:35.000 He stood outside, he said his piece, and when they were prosecuting, Libby, thank you so much.
00:15:44.000 We'll talk to you soon.
00:15:45.000 See you at MFEST.
00:15:48.000 For years, we've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues.
00:15:54.000 They teach things that directly contradict the values of millions of Americans.
00:15:58.000 That's especially true if you are a Christian family.

00:17:10.000 Without further ado, I want to bring on the guest for this segment, J.R. Majewski, running for Ohio's 9th District Congress out of the great state of Ohio.
00:17:20.000 JR, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:17:22.000 Thank you, sir.
00:17:23.000 Thank you for having me.
00:17:24.000 It's a pleasure.
00:17:25.000 Yeah, fantastic to have you.
00:17:26.000 We were actually going to bring Tyler Boyer in because I know you know Tyler.
00:17:30.000 Tyler got caught up in some of the same stuff Charlie's doing right now.
00:17:33.000 And so we weren't able to have him.
00:17:35.000 The only reason I'm not there is so I could be right here.
00:17:38.000 But listen, JR, we actually met.
00:17:41.000 We met briefly at an Ohio event with JD Vance, I believe, yeah, during the last cycle.
00:17:47.000 Anyways, great to have you here.
00:17:49.000 So, JR, why we wanted to have you is that we have been given a leaked piece of audio.
00:17:58.000 Nobody's heard this audio except myself and our producers until this moment.
00:18:03.000 And it involves your candidate or your competition for Ohio's ninth, Craig Rydell.
00:18:11.000 Am I saying that right, Craig Rydell?
00:18:13.000 Whatever it is.
00:18:13.000 Yeah.
00:18:15.000 So this is a guy that is going around Ohio claiming that he is like the rock-ribbed conservative guy.
00:18:22.000 I mean, he's the we're going to go through the endorsement list, but I here on this show have a audio leak of him speaking with a prominent conservative donor named Alan Jacoby.
00:18:37.000 And I have permission to say his name.
00:18:39.000 Alan Jacoby, he's talking to him.
00:18:42.000 I would assume soliciting funds for his campaign.
00:18:46.000 And you will not believe what this guy who says he's a rock Republican, basically making common cause with MAGA like you, JR.
00:18:54.000 You are the guy that Turning Point Action is getting behind.
00:18:58.000 Craig Rydell, without further ado, let's play cut 128.
00:19:02.000 Listen for yourself.
00:19:03.000 You're not looking for a Trump endorsement, are you?
00:19:07.000 I am not.
00:19:08.000 We are not.
00:19:09.000 Nope.
00:19:10.000 And you're making it a point that you do not want Trump's endorsement.
00:19:13.000 Yep.
00:19:13.000 Yep.
00:19:14.000 When the time comes publicly, and if it does come that you're put on the spot about your support for Trump, what are you going to tell people?
00:19:21.000 Like, just straight dope.
00:19:23.000 What are you going to do?
00:19:25.000 And I get asked this often, and my answer is the same every time.
00:19:28.000 And I hit on it already that, look, Donald Trump, he's a different person than me.
00:19:35.000 I don't like the way he communicates. 0.99
00:19:38.000 I think he is arrogant.
00:19:40.000 I don't like the way he calls people names.
00:19:42.000 I just don't think that's very becoming of a president.
00:19:47.000 So it's safe to say that you're not looking to support the guy's primary run.
00:19:50.000 I'm with you.
00:19:52.000 We need to go a different direction.
00:19:54.000 We need people like people like Craig Riedel.
00:19:58.000 People like Craig Riedel.
00:19:59.000 What do you think of Ron DeSantis?
00:20:01.000 I like Ron.
00:20:02.000 I like Ron.
00:20:04.000 I like his.
00:20:04.000 He seems, you know, I can't understand why he's not gaining more traction.
00:20:08.000 Taking a beating, man. 0.95
00:20:09.000 Taking a beating. 0.89
00:20:11.000 Something else there.
00:20:12.000 JR, your response.
00:20:15.000 I mean, I kind of feel like President Trump on the tarmac when he found out that Ginsburg passed away.
00:20:22.000 You know, it's, wow.
00:20:25.000 I'm not surprised.
00:20:27.000 You know, unfortunately, Craig Riedel is the type of politician that will do and say anything that he feels he needs to do or say to attract donors.
00:20:37.000 He's one of those type of Republicans, unfortunately.
00:20:42.000 I'm not surprised, but I honestly, I don't know what to say.
00:20:48.000 This is pretty good news for me, knowing that I'm the obvious Trump supporter.
00:20:54.000 I've always been loyal to the president.
00:20:57.000 Wow.
00:20:58.000 No, I just want the audience to know we did not play you this clip before you came on.
00:21:03.000 We have a relationship with you via Turning Point Action and Tyler.
00:21:06.000 That's why we wanted him to be a part of this.
00:21:08.000 But this is, I mean, we sort of told you that we had some leaked video here, but, or leaked audio here.
00:21:15.000 But, you know, you are known as a grassroots MAGA warrior, and you are in a race against this Craig Rydell guy.
00:21:26.000 And I just want to, I want to give you a chance to look at some of these endorsements.
00:21:29.000 Go ahead and throw up 138, the image.
00:21:32.000 Just throw it up on screen so JR can see it.
00:21:35.000 So we've got there, this is Craig with Steve Scalise.
00:21:39.000 Also, the endorsement of obviously a great American Jim Jordan.
00:21:43.000 He's saying he's a rock-solid conservative who understands that parents, not the government, know what's best for their children.
00:21:49.000 Let's go ahead and play, show another image, 139.
00:21:52.000 These are some of his endorsements.
00:21:54.000 House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, House Rep Conference Chair, Elise Stefanik.
00:22:02.000 So, JR, when you look at this endorsement list, I mean, these are people that even not so much Tom Emmer, but okay, Steve Scalise, we have some suspicions of as well.
00:22:12.000 But, you know, generally speaking, he's a hero, patriot, got shot.
00:22:15.000 I mean, here's the thing: what do you want to tell these folks that have endorsed the other guy in the race now that you hear this leaked footage distancing himself from Trump, calling him arrogant, doesn't want to be associated with him?
00:22:30.000 Well, number one, this is one of the seats that we need to flip this cycle.
00:22:34.000 Marcy Captor cannot get re-elected. 0.99
00:22:36.000 She cheated in her election last cycle to defeat me by lying about my military career.
00:22:41.000 Fortunately, I've worked with some good members of Congress like Matt Gates, Corey Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, and quite a few others.
00:22:49.000 And they've uncovered and exposed what the Democratic Party has done to me.
00:22:53.000 And I'd like to believe that members of leadership endorsed this guy on false pretenses.
00:22:58.000 I mean, I've known Craig Riedel here in the district.
00:23:01.000 He is one of the kind of guys that will do and say anything that they need to do and say to get elected.
00:23:08.000 But at the end of the day, this is what President Trump has exposed and what he's called out.
00:23:13.000 This is the epitome of the swamp, to take and sell yourself to a donor and call out President Trump when he is leading in the polls by such an extremely wide margin.
00:23:28.000 I mean, to me, that's just counterintuitive.
00:23:31.000 But I'd like to think that leadership will recognize this and understand that they've endorsed the wrong guy.
00:23:37.000 I mean, you know, Elise Stefanik and Jim Jordan, I mean, come on, they're as America first as anybody in the country.
00:23:44.000 Yeah, I think you make a great point.
00:23:45.000 I mean, Elise Stefanik and Jim Jordan are two of Trump's most staunchest allies, most staunch allies.
00:23:52.000 And I would also say that we love Jim Jordan on this show.
00:23:56.000 Elise Stefanik has done some great things, which she did with the MIT, Penn, Harvard testimony was fantastic, has some good moments.
00:24:07.000 Here's what I will say, Jared.
00:24:09.000 This is why the base gets so dejected because we send people like Craig Rydell to Congress, expecting him to stand up for our values, expecting him to stand up and impeach my orchestra, whatever it is.
00:24:24.000 And then we get these holdouts that won't let us get the job done.
00:24:27.000 This is why time and time again we are betrayed as a base.
00:24:30.000 It's guys like this will say one thing to get your vote, to get your endorsement. 1.00
00:24:35.000 And then we have to get a leaked piece of audio to reveal this guy to be the scumbag he is. 0.99
00:24:41.000 The floor is yours. 0.99
00:24:42.000 You say anything.
00:24:43.000 Tell us about your district.
00:24:44.000 What is it?
00:24:44.000 It's like an R3, R5.
00:24:46.000 What is it?
00:24:47.000 What's the makeup?
00:24:48.000 Is this like a MAGA district?
00:24:50.000 Is this grassroots?
00:24:51.000 Yeah, this is.
00:24:52.000 Yeah, that's what's crazy about this.
00:24:53.000 I mean, this is the number one district in the state of Ohio to be flipped.
00:24:58.000 And, you know, by an extremely wide margin, you need Trump on the ballot to win in this district.
00:25:05.000 Marcy Kaptor overperforms cycle after cycle.
00:25:08.000 And, you know, Marcy Kaptur was, I was on the path to defeat her last cycle.
00:25:12.000 And like I said, they illegally accessed my records.
00:25:16.000 They had my social security number.
00:25:18.000 They signed for me as a veteran and they used my records to create false accusations about me.
00:25:25.000 And they essentially stole the election. 0.96
00:25:27.000 And for Craig to come out and say that, you know, he doesn't support President Trump, it just, it's ridiculous. 0.83
00:25:35.000 I mean, but it is telling. 0.59
00:25:36.000 I mean, he does seem like that kind of guy.
00:25:39.000 He has been, I mean, he is working with Nikki Haley's group.
00:25:43.000 And so I'm not surprised.
00:25:47.000 I guess I'm thankful.
00:25:49.000 And, but, you know, this is why we have to be very, very vigilant.
00:25:52.000 And I think the grassroots here in Ohio, I'm their guy.
00:25:56.000 There's no doubt about it.
00:25:57.000 But, you know, Craig has been the establishment's guy.
00:26:00.000 They've helped this guy raise nearly three quarters of a million dollars.
00:26:03.000 So, you know, all bets were on for him.
00:26:05.000 And I think they're going to have to second guess now.
00:26:09.000 I mean, this is pretty damning.
00:26:12.000 Yeah.
00:26:12.000 I mean, thank goodness we have this piece of leaked audio.
00:26:17.000 Wait till President Trump hears this.
00:26:18.000 I think it's going to be a whole other story because you're right.
00:26:23.000 You need Trump is without the RNC doing its job.
00:26:26.000 You need Trump to be your get out the vote engine.
00:26:30.000 And if you're going to distance yourself from him, I mean, Trump has proven this time and again.
00:26:34.000 The experts do not know how to get the votes out.
00:26:37.000 Trump gets the votes out.
00:26:38.000 So if you're going to distance yourself from him, I think you're right.
00:26:41.000 You risk this same candidate overperforming and beating some of the polling, some of the other races that you might see.
00:26:50.000 JR, I want to spend this entire segment giving you an opportunity to explain why you are different, why you're the guy.
00:26:57.000 But first, let's play that clip one more time just so we can fully absorb it.
00:27:02.000 128.
00:27:03.000 You're not looking for a Trump endorsement, are you?
00:27:07.000 I am not.
00:27:08.000 We are not.
00:27:09.000 Nope.
00:27:10.000 And you're making it a point that you do not want Trump's endorsement.
00:27:13.000 Yep.
00:27:14.000 Yep.
00:27:14.000 When the time comes publicly, and if it does come, that you're put on the spot about your support for Trump, what are you going to tell people?
00:27:21.000 Like, just straight dope, what are you going to do?
00:27:25.000 And I get asked this often, and my answer is the same every time.
00:27:29.000 And I have hit on it already that, look, Donald Trump, he's a different person than me.
00:27:35.000 I don't like the way he communicates. 0.99
00:27:38.000 I think he is arrogant.
00:27:40.000 I don't like the way he calls people names.
00:27:43.000 I just don't think that's very becoming of a president.
00:27:47.000 So it's safe to say that you're not looking to support the guy's primary run.
00:27:50.000 I'm with you.
00:27:52.000 We need to go a different direction.
00:27:55.000 We need people like Craig Riedel, people like Craig Riedel.
00:27:59.000 What do you think of Ron DeSantis?
00:28:01.000 I like Ron.
00:28:02.000 I like Ron.
00:28:04.000 I like his.
00:28:04.000 He seems, you know, I can't understand why he's not gaining more traction.
00:28:08.000 Taking a beating, man. 0.95
00:28:09.000 Taking a beating.
00:28:11.000 Craig Riedel, also known as the used car salesman, it just oozes that energy.
00:28:18.000 JR, the floor is yours.
00:28:20.000 Tell us why you're the guy for the job.
00:28:22.000 Well, obviously, it's because I'm a better candidate than Craig DeSantis.
00:28:25.000 But really, I mean, what it boils down to is I was the 2022 Republican nominee running against a 40-year Democratic incumbent.
00:28:32.000 They spent millions of dollars lying about me.
00:28:36.000 You know, I am by a far margin the American first candidate in this race.
00:28:40.000 You know, Donald Trump is coming back to the Oval Office in a time where the country is in crisis.
00:28:47.000 The polls show that the American people are demanding Trump return. 0.98
00:28:51.000 And for a guy like this to put on a charade and pretend as if Trump is arrogant, not considering the trials and tribulations that the deep state has put him through over the past six years, I mean, come on, that's just ridiculous.
00:29:04.000 But the reality of it is, is, you know, I'm a 20-year nuclear power veteran, spent a lot of time working with spent nuclear fuel with projects.
00:29:12.000 I'm born and raised here in the 9th District of Ohio.
00:29:15.000 Come from a working-class blue-collar family, have a master's degree.
00:29:19.000 I've worked really, really hard my entire life.
00:29:21.000 And, you know, I know what it means to live in this district, to struggle in this district, and then to thrive in this district.
00:29:29.000 And it's all part of taking advantage of the American dream that doesn't exist anymore, not only here, not here in the 9th District, but across the United States.
00:29:38.000 And people like myself that believe in America, believe in the American dream, and have lived the life that our founding fathers expected and demanded of people that would represent them in office need to get elected, not only for the betterment of the country, but for the movement.
00:29:57.000 We're trying to take our country back, and we cannot afford another Congress that is going to stifle the Trump agenda.
00:30:05.000 Trump is one of the most effective presidents, despite all of the hardships that he had to go through.
00:30:11.000 We need to rally the troops.
00:30:13.000 We need to set the tone and get ready for him because the only way we're going to remain the beautiful and great country we are is with leadership.
00:30:22.000 And Donald Trump is that guy.
00:30:24.000 The American people know it.
00:30:26.000 Well, and JR, you made a great point because, you know, you talk about how effective Trump was in his first term.
00:30:32.000 That was despite not having real fighters in Congress.
00:30:36.000 Now, a lot of that churn is happening.
00:30:38.000 We're getting rid of some of the old guard and we're getting new fighters.
00:30:41.000 Like you mentioned, Corey Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, Matt Gates.
00:30:45.000 Those are the types of people that we need backing President Trump, not Craig Riedel or whatever his name is.
00:30:52.000 I'll never get his last name right.
00:30:53.000 I don't even care.
00:30:54.000 I'll just, I'll never actually get this.
00:30:56.000 I think it's Craig DeSantis from here on out.
00:30:59.000 Yeah, it's easier to remember that.
00:31:01.000 So certainly, I mean, but that is a key here.
00:31:03.000 When you look, JR, and when you look at what's the dysfunction in Congress and just how we can't get anybody on the same page for even getting Majorca impeached for the love, what are you, what kind of energy are you going to bring to Congress to get those jobs over the finish line?
00:31:21.000 Well, I've developed a professional career of a guy that knows how to get things done and knows how to rally the troops and work towards a common goal.
00:31:30.000 At some point, the Republican Party has to come together.
00:31:32.000 Right now, the American people understand the hardships.
00:31:35.000 They understand that getting things through the House is tough, then going through the Senate is tough, but getting it through the Biden administration is impossible.
00:31:43.000 But they just want us to try.
00:31:46.000 And people like Matt Gates, who's a friend of mine and has endorsed me, Byron Donald's, another great guy.
00:31:52.000 They want to try.
00:31:54.000 What is the website where people can support you?
00:31:56.000 JRFOROHIO.com.
00:31:59.000 Awesome.
