00:01:25.000 Joining us is one of Florida's own right out of the gate.

00:01:29.000 Ana Paulina Luna, congresswoman from Florida.

00:01:33.000 Ana, great to have you on the program.

00:01:35.000 There is a big feud happening right now with the intel agencies.

00:01:39.000 What is going on here?

00:01:41.000 Walk our audience through it.

00:01:42.000 Charlie, this has been wild to see unfold in real time.

00:01:46.000 So I was actually responding to a tweet that you'd posted, but to have CNN reporting that there are actual agents at the CIA that would even consider...

00:01:55.000 Selling our classified information because they don't like President Trump, they don't like Republicans in the White House to our foreign adversaries.

00:02:03.000 I genuinely believe this, that that is treason, that they will be held accountable.

00:02:07.000 So my message to them is if you do that, you will have the full might and force of the law against you and you will be held accountable, whether that's going to prison or I would argue even harsher penalties, Charlie.

00:02:21.000 But also to remember, less than a week ago or about a week ago, A week ago, I was announced as taking over the task force to be the action arm for President Trump and aid in the declassification efforts of the JFK, Martin Luther King, and RFK files, and then also pushing for declassification on other things covering Epstein to 9-11 to COVID-19, etc.

00:02:44.000 What I will tell you, Charlie, is...

00:02:47.000 After that task force was announced, it seemed like there was a mass effort to really push back against the task force even though we don't hold declassification authority to try to undermine our efforts in executing President Trump's agenda.

00:03:01.000 And then we find out 24 hours after the task force is announced that the FBI finds thousands of pages of documents related to that declassification executive order.

00:03:11.000 And then we find out last night that an FBI whistleblower, Garrett O'Boyle, comes forward and says that he has knowledge that there are people at the FBI who, prior to Kash Patel's nomination and confirmation, that they were deleting and destroying evidence related to the documents that we were requesting.

00:03:30.000 So there's absolutely an intelligence war happening.

00:03:33.000 And what I can tell you, Charlie, is had President Trump not gotten elected, I do believe that we would have lost this country.

00:03:39.000 I think that is exactly right.

00:03:41.000 And so supposedly our intel agencies are very, very concerned with leaks, information security, and so on.

00:03:48.000 But in reality, of course, they love leaks.

00:03:50.000 And so yesterday, CNN had a very long article claiming that if Trump cuts the budget of the CIA, it would expose the nation's secrets because the CIA employees will go rogue and sell our secrets to foreign powers.

00:04:02.000 In other words, our intel community, our hostage takers, give us money we want or else.

00:04:08.000 These are not patriots, Anna Paulina.

00:04:10.000 No, they're definitely not.

00:04:11.000 And I can tell you, Charlie, that when I saw that as a veteran, as someone that was subject to the UCM day where treason is death.

00:04:18.000 I take that very seriously, and I actually have my team filing, as we speak, legislation to increase the mandatory minimum for leaking secrets to foreign adversaries from the intelligence agency as a death penalty.

00:04:29.000 These are times that we cannot afford operatives like this being selfish and taking their own political agenda at the expense of the American people.

00:04:40.000 When you leak classified information like that, you can potentially cause wars.

00:04:44.000 There's big implications to that.

00:04:45.000 This is not just...

00:04:46.000 You know, I don't like the president.

00:04:47.000 I'm going to potentially set him up or leak information.

00:04:50.000 That can be deadly.

00:04:52.000 It can be lethal.

00:04:53.000 And what I can also tell you, Charlie, is when I first got to Washington, I was actually told by other well-known, respected conservative members that, you know, outlets like The Washington Post, CNN, Politico, that they were mouthpieces for the intelligence agencies.

00:05:06.000 Now we find that USAID was funding some of these outlets.

00:05:10.000 That was also taxpayer funds that were largely unvetted, unchecked.

00:05:14.000 And now we're also finding that they are basically preparing people potentially for these leaks.

00:05:18.000 And so I have faith in the new directors of these intelligence agencies, but it doesn't mean that within their own agencies they're not facing deep, deep resistance from people that are simply un-American.

00:05:28.000 And so this does need to be held, taken seriously, and also these people do need to be held accountable.

00:05:33.000 I have faith that Cash and also our new secretary will be flushing this out.

00:05:37.000 But remember, if you're interfering also with a congressional investigation, which is what they're actively doing, Those are contempt of Congress proceedings.

00:05:46.000 And so I actually also spoke with the Oversight Task Force, and they are talking to Chairman Comer about marking up contempt of Congress charges once we figure out who these individuals are.

00:05:55.000 So whether it's from us, the Department of Justice, or from within the agencies, they are definitely in for a world of pain.

00:06:01.000 So people want to know about the Epstein client list.

00:06:05.000 Do you think we're going to get the goods and information of who visited Epstein's Island and who was on the plane?

00:06:10.000 I initially thought we would because I had faith that Cash would give us whatever documents that he had.

00:06:16.000 Now we're finding out for that whistleblower, and I'm actually talking to the whistleblower in about 10 minutes here directly to figure out if we can get leads on who those names are.

00:06:25.000 Now we're finding out that potentially there was destruction of evidence, but as you saw over the weekend...

00:06:30.000 Pam Bondi, our attorney general, she actually said that she was reviewing documents and that they were on her desk.

00:06:36.000 And so we've been largely pushing for the declassification of these documents.

00:06:40.000 We haven't even seen them, Charlie.

00:06:41.000 But that information, as well as the other information like JFK, RFK, that belongs to the American people.

00:06:48.000 That should not be siloed any longer.

00:06:49.000 It's been years.

00:06:50.000 And specifically with Jeffrey Epstein, I mean...

00:06:53.000 Look, this goes back into the whole conversation of, do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself?

00:06:58.000 I don't think he did.

00:06:59.000 That's pretty wild.

00:07:00.000 If you look at the people that he was involved with and the prison that he was in, that that could have happened.

00:07:07.000 And so, you know, I think that there's a lot of powers at play here.

00:07:10.000 Obviously, we did not anticipate that these people would be doing it so out in the open, but apparently they're destroying evidence.

00:07:18.000 And so this is a big this is a big deal.

00:07:21.000 I think that the American people need to understand the gravity of what this means and also understand that within our own agencies, our trusted agencies that are supposed to be there to defend and protect us, that they're actively fighting against what President Trump wants for this country and transparency for the American people.

00:07:37.000 So take note of who is trying to undermine.

00:07:40.000 I hope everyone understands there is a rogue government right now that's operating.

00:07:44.000 That there is a shadow government that has defined the will of the people and they are operating in direct defiance.

00:07:51.000 It is a shadow government.

00:07:52.000 We're going to talk about this throughout the hour.

00:07:54.000 But there is a rogue, out of control federal bureaucracy that thinks that they get to trouble in the media.

00:07:59.000 We have to start perp walking and arresting them. 0.99

00:08:01.000 And I have every faith and confidence in Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

00:08:05.000 We need federal workers arrested if they're destroying evidence.

00:08:08.000 We need federal workers arrested if they're leaking information.

00:08:11.000 Anna Paulina.

00:08:12.000 If they're leaking information, if they are undermining investigations, they are not friends of the American people, in my opinion.

00:08:18.000 If you are selling information to a foreign adversary, you are an enemy of the state.

00:08:22.000 And so we need to keep the pressure on.

00:08:23.000 When we find these instances, when we see them, these federal workers need to go to jail for the rest of their life.

00:08:30.000 If it is true, and these federal workers are destroying evidence regarding pending investigations and things that we, the American people, have a right to see, Who do they actually think they work for?

00:08:43.000 They think they're in charge.

00:08:45.000 They're in the technocratic class, in the permanent oligarchy of the federal bureaucracy.

00:08:49.000 Final thoughts, Congresswoman Ana Polina Luna.

00:08:51.000 Look, we have a big task cut out for us.

00:08:54.000 This task force, we were, again, set up to be an action arm of the president to apply pressure and make sure that these documents were released to the American people.

00:09:02.000 It's now looking like this is also turning into a criminal investigation because we're finding out that potentially our evidence has been destroyed.

00:09:08.000 And so we need the American people to, A, make sure that they are sharing the correct information, but also keep the pressure on, okay?

00:09:15.000 OK, because we can only do so much here in Washington, but we are we are a minority compared to what we are up against, especially within the intelligence communities.

00:09:23.000 We need your help.

00:09:24.000 Keep the pressure on.

00:09:25.000 And honestly, pray for us, because this is this is a hard job.

00:09:29.000 But with, you know, God, God's good grace, we can get through it.

00:09:32.000 But it's definitely been interesting to see the night fight take place in real time.

00:09:37.000 Keep up the great fight, Ana, and we have your back.

00:09:40.000 Thank you.

00:09:41.000 There is an out-of-control rogue federal bureaucracy that is...

00:09:46.000 Defying the will of the people.

00:09:47.000 It's defying you, the voters.

00:09:49.000 It is an existential threat to the United States constitutional order.

00:09:56.000 We must bring them to a heel.

00:09:58.000 And that means we need thousands of federal workers in handcuffs if that's what they are doing. 1.00

00:10:04.000 Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are going to spend time rooting out what's happening within our government.

00:10:08.000 If there are thousands of people that are leaking information, we need a few examples.

00:10:13.000 Big ones.

00:10:15.000 And by the way, this looks as if this is a widespread cancer within our government.

00:11:27.000 The midterms could be about this.

00:11:28.000 We're so far out from the midterms, I don't even want to hypothesize this yet.

00:11:32.000 But it could be where we're going.

00:11:34.000 It could be we the people versus the shadow government.

00:11:38.000 We have been warning that we are in the middle of a cold civil war.

00:11:42.000 And that cold civil war almost went hot on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:11:46.000 God forbid that would happen.

00:11:47.000 A color revolution.

00:11:49.000 And finally, we are at the gates to reassert control.

00:11:53.000 To reassume control.

00:11:54.000 To bring us back to our birth certificate.

00:11:58.000 We are going back to first principles.

00:12:00.000 How many branches?

00:12:01.000 There are three.

00:12:02.000 Who is in charge of Article 2?

00:12:03.000 The President of the United States.

00:12:05.000 Elon Musk sent out that email last weekend.

00:12:08.000 And this is a perfect example of what we're dealing with.

00:12:12.000 This is a young lady who could best be described as a brat. 1.00

00:12:16.000 She's a spoiled brat who complains that she was intimidated by Elon Musk for asking the question, what did you do and what did you get done this week?

00:12:27.000 Five things that you got done.

00:12:29.000 She has no time to answer the email, but plenty of time to go on CNN. These people feel entitled to your taxpayer money. 0.89

00:12:37.000 You're about to go pay taxes on April 15th.

00:12:40.000 Many of you might have to sell stock.

00:12:42.000 Some of you guys are going to have to do tax deferrals to get all squared up with the Internal Revenue Service.

00:12:48.000 And when you write that check to the IRS, which might mean less family vacations, Might mean you can't go out to eat as much.

00:12:56.000 When you write that check and you work your tail off, you are sending that money to people like her.

00:13:02.000 This entitled federal worker who goes on television saying that she is so intimidated that someone would ask her what she does.

00:13:13.000 This is a perfect example of what college campuses create.

00:13:17.000 The type of soft, lazy mentality.

00:13:21.000 That has infected our institutions and the nerve that this young woman has. 1.00

00:13:26.000 I guarantee you she's a Harry Potter fan.

00:13:28.000 I could just see it from a mile away.

00:13:31.000 I'm 10 out of 10 in predicting this, by the way.

00:13:34.000 Here is Cut98, the blogger on Pottermore.

00:13:38.000 Play Cut98.

00:13:39.000 First, just tell us about this email and what it was like receiving it and what you all have talked about after getting it.

00:13:49.000 Sure.

00:13:50.000 I got this email Saturday afternoon about 3 p.m., and I felt absolutely infuriated getting this email with a demand within 48 hours to provide a response on what I did within the last week or face termination.

00:14:09.000 This is clearly an attempt from Elon Musk to harass and bully and intimidate the federal workforce.

00:14:17.000 Which is part of his broader plan to gut the federal workforce and privatize public sector services to ensure that corporations like his own can get more profit.

00:14:29.000 And that makes me really angry.

00:14:31.000 My co-workers as well.

00:14:33.000 All right, Hermoine, calm down.

00:14:35.000 That is a perfect example of a coddled, pampered, and indulged federal worker. 1.00

00:14:45.000 Do your job.

00:14:47.000 Or better yet, you're fired.

00:14:50.000 Why do you exist?

00:14:51.000 What do you do?

00:14:51.000 You're angry?

00:14:53.000 I'm sorry, you don't get to call the shots here.

00:14:55.000 We don't have the divine right of spoiled federal workers. 0.98

00:15:00.000 I must have missed that in the U.S. Constitution.

00:15:02.000 The sovereign is in the people.

00:15:04.000 We are in charge.

00:15:05.000 And we give our sovereignty through elections to a president.

00:15:11.000 The vesting cause says that all the power will be vested in a president.

00:15:15.000 And now you have PTSD because you got an email?

00:15:18.000 These people would not last 45 seconds in a private sector job or a service job.

00:15:25.000 They might last at Salesforce, because the Salesforce and these big companies acted the government.

00:15:30.000 But do you know where that attitude wouldn't be tolerated?

00:15:33.000 With the muscular class.

00:15:34.000 And that is why there has been an uprising of the muscular class against people like Hermione Granger here. 0.75

00:15:40.000 The people that...

00:15:41.000 Deliver your meals, the people that drive your trucks, the people that fix the plumbing in your home, the people that work as carpenters, that shower before work and after work.

00:15:52.000 And she's so smug.

00:15:54.000 You know, if you go ask a carpenter, what'd you do this week?

00:15:56.000 He'd be like, I fixed this, and I did that, and I did this, and I did that.

00:16:00.000 And she is a perfect example of the millions of people that, as I said yesterday, and it went viral, have become parasites on the American taxpayer.

00:16:08.000 When you guys work your tail off to write those checks to the IRS, money that they are not entitled to most of the time, you go send that money to these people that then have time to go on CNN and say, well, I was outraged.

00:16:21.000 No, no, the American people are outraged, and we're not going to subsidize anymore.

00:16:24.000 We need mass firings.

00:16:26.000 We need hundreds of thousands of these people to be terminated.

00:17:41.000 Citizen Kane from citizenfreepress.com.

00:17:45.000 Now, Mr. Kane, I don't know if you know this or not, but you were highlighted in a segment that John Heilman did on his podcast, and he said this guy Kane was on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:17:58.000 So I don't know if you know that or not, but I got to send you a link to that.

00:18:01.000 But welcome, my friend.

00:18:02.000 Yeah, no, I did not know that.

00:18:05.000 Heilman.

00:18:06.000 I wonder why Heilman caught a glimpse.

00:18:09.000 Hey! 0.99

00:18:10.000 You know, so I want to see Blake's scores on those Hillsdale tests, by the way.

00:18:15.000 They're all 100. It's crazy, Kane.

00:18:18.000 So most Fridays we'll do this, where we do Ask Me Anything, and during the breaks we keep streaming, and it's not on radio, but it's on podcasting, and I ask Blake these questions.

00:18:28.000 And it's really next-level stuff.

00:18:30.000 I'm talking about highly specified Roman history.

00:18:37.000 I think, yeah, I'd never even heard of him until I listened to your intro.

00:18:44.000 And somehow I'm not surprised that Blake has that, you know, that knowledge sitting there deep in the cerebellum.

00:18:51.000 You know, Charlie, as I was waiting to come on, I was writing my five bullet points to Doge.

00:18:58.000 I figure, what the heck?

00:18:59.000 I'm a federal worker.

00:19:01.000 What did you do this last week?

00:19:02.000 Well, number one was I'm helping to destroy the global Marxist alliance.

00:19:08.000 Number two, I cured 115 people of the woke mind virus.

00:19:13.000 Number three, I made fun of Adam Schiff.

00:19:17.000 And that's as far as I got.

00:19:19.000 But I'm loving all the hysteria over this list.

00:19:23.000 It's insane.

00:19:24.000 I put up a clip from Scott Jennings last night as he was making fun of Abby.

00:19:31.000 I love it.

00:19:43.000 Cain, how do you think Doge is resonating with the grassroots?

00:19:47.000 How is it working with everyday people?

00:19:49.000 Walk us through it.

00:19:50.000 This is the most exciting, momentous reclamation of our government.

00:20:00.000 Yeah, Charlie, I've been, as I sort of touched on at the end of the last interview, I didn't get interested in politics until I was 21 working at CNN when the overnight editor started talking to me about the national debt, right?

00:20:14.000 So from that point, I've been, that's what brought me to politics.

00:20:17.000 I was a sports guy.

00:20:20.000 That's what brought me to politics.

00:20:21.000 And I actually thought I was going to do CNN sports.

00:20:24.000 But that's a completely different story.

00:20:26.000 So the national debt and this whole idea of waste and fraud and bloated government spending, that means I've been waiting for this stuff for 35 years.

00:20:36.000 I've been waiting for actual spending cuts.

00:20:38.000 I remember stuff that, you know, there was something called the Penny Kasich bill.

00:20:43.000 Penny was a congressman from Minnesota, John Kasich, the congressman from Ohio, and was an attempt at actually shrinking.

00:20:52.000 The size of government by 1% a year until we reached a balanced budget.

00:20:57.000 And Andrew can busily sort of, you know, do a Wikipedia on the Penny Kasich amendment.

00:21:04.000 And it came within one vote of passing, Charlie.

00:21:06.000 And I remember watching it live on CNN, excuse me, on C-SPAN. It was probably 93, 94-ish.

00:21:14.000 And it was really, had we gotten...

00:21:16.000 So anyway, my point is, I've had my hopes raised and shattered.

00:21:20.000 For 35 years, Charlie.

00:21:23.000 You know, Simpson Bowles, just in 2015, the Obama attempt.

00:21:28.000 Yeah, you know, look, for someone like me, I honestly don't care where the spending cuts come from.

00:21:34.000 Just cut.

00:21:35.000 There's no way, you know, I have the Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful attitude is...

00:21:39.000 Cut more than you think because there's always more fat on the chicken.

00:21:43.000 Cut more if you have to.

00:21:45.000 Later, you bring these people back.

00:21:46.000 That's a little side little tangent.

00:21:48.000 I'm sure you've noticed how on Drudge and leftist media, they're like, oh, no, look, they fired these people and had to bring a few of them back.

00:21:54.000 Well, that's how it's supposed to be.

00:21:56.000 Get rid of them at first.

00:21:58.000 Then if you see that you really need them, bring them back.

00:22:00.000 So, you know, kind of trying to wrap this up, the answer.

00:22:03.000 I'm so excited, Charlie.

00:22:04.000 I've never seen anything like these cuts.

00:22:06.000 I'm covering it nonstop.

00:22:09.000 And I want more.

00:22:10.000 And we haven't even got started.

00:22:12.000 You know, Social Security, Defense, Medicare, Medicaid, those are going to be really, really big for cuts.

00:22:19.000 And Cain, the left is resisting at maximum pressure.

00:22:25.000 It doesn't seem to be working.

00:22:26.000 But this is coming forward to a referendum in so many ways that it's going to be the shadow government, which is only a couple million people, against the American people.

00:22:36.000 Correct.

00:22:37.000 And I realized that I forgot to answer that part of your original question, which is, how is this playing with the base?

00:22:42.000 What do people really feel?

00:22:43.000 Well, obviously, the monster poll from Harvard-Harris that Warren Bannon talked about it a bunch this morning, and it was asked at the Macron-Trump press conference.

00:22:55.000 There were two or three questions about Doge, but they all got over 70% approval.

00:23:01.000 As many Democrats, I try to watch alternative media as much as I can.

00:23:05.000 You know, you can't fight this stuff.

00:23:07.000 The politicians are trying, but they're not getting any support.

00:23:10.000 We had that press conference, I don't remember, last week.

00:23:13.000 The full photo showed that there were just the five senators there and there were no people around them and they were screaming about what was going on at Doge.

00:23:20.000 So there is no grassroots support not to cut the government.

00:23:25.000 Like, this is turning on everyone.

00:23:28.000 I've seen Jon Stewart say positive things.

00:23:30.000 We've seen the Obama bros who do that podcast.

00:23:34.000 You know, that they've commented positively.

00:23:37.000 It's a public relations winner.

00:23:38.000 I think, look, we're all in it sort of minute to minute.

00:23:43.000 So we see the negative stories that are written about Doge and we see what Drudge is sort of pushing and we see what's on CNN. But it's honestly, these polls show that that's not making any impact.

00:23:55.000 That, what, 80, 90% of independents and 100% of Republicans love these cuts.

00:24:00.000 And so it's hard.

00:24:01.000 How do you fight against?

00:24:03.000 You know, how do you win a battle against removing government waste?

00:24:06.000 You can't win.

00:24:07.000 So I say we just, you know, ignore the naysayers and continue on.

00:24:11.000 Well, and Democrats are at an all-time low of just 32% approval.

00:24:17.000 Kane, we dug the Republican Party out from our dark night of the soul post-January 6th, and we have become the popular party, and they have become a minoritarian, nasty, elitist oligarchy.

00:24:31.000 Kane, it's a remarkable reversible.

00:24:33.000 I mean, it's just, it's almost, it makes you speechless, and I'm a talk show host.

00:24:40.000 I agree 100%, man.

00:24:41.000 It's only 18 months, too, because we know those Gallup polls.

00:24:45.000 I posted Gallup, I think they were at 35%.

00:24:48.000 The lowest in history.

00:24:49.000 And for all of this to have happened in 18 months, this sort of populist reversal, it dovetails with the expansion of the Republican MAGA working class, right?

00:24:59.000 From white working class to black to Hispanic to Asian. 0.53

00:25:02.000 This sort of populism is really, really working.

00:25:06.000 And I think when you add the Trump transparency and the Elon transparency on top of it, that's part of why it's winning independence and gaining more popularity is because he's holding these press conferences.

00:25:18.000 And he's acting like a boss, but he's answering the questions.

00:25:21.000 And it's just something we've never seen.

00:25:23.000 And I think that that has to be the explanation for what you said.

00:25:27.000 How does the Democrat Party go from 50% approval to 32% approval in 18 months?

00:25:35.000 It's cultural, it's media, and honestly, I never would have expected it would be this good.

00:25:42.000 And it shows that there was a pent-up desire.

00:25:45.000 An unspoken, unpoled desire to reclaim the country.

00:25:49.000 And they were looking for a vessel to hang on to.

00:25:51.000 And that vessel very well happened to be Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

00:25:55.000 And I think it was this great convergence where on one side you had the MAGA movement that was on fire.

00:26:01.000 On the other side you had this silent majority of Americans that were sick of the inflation, the open borders, the woke stuff.

00:26:06.000 And they weren't necessarily Trump's biggest fan, but they said, oh.

00:26:10.000 Finally a movement that I can attach myself to, and boom, it's set on like fire, and the Democrats underestimated at every turn.

00:26:18.000 Cain, final thoughts?

00:26:19.000 Yeah, I mean, I would have said that I underestimated it.

00:26:22.000 I didn't think it could all come together this smoothly, but I really feel like the special sauce for this, after having gathered this coalition, the special sauce is what's happening now, is these executive orders in the Oval Office, is this extreme transparency.

00:26:39.000 That's what's really turning on people.

00:26:40.000 There's a clip at the top of the stack.

00:26:42.000 I'll say really quick.

00:26:43.000 Right now, it's Jesse Waters sent his guy to Delaware.

00:26:46.000 And it was Delaware Street interviews on Joe Biden.

00:26:49.000 And what was really interesting is how all these people knew about the doge cuts.

00:26:53.000 They knew about the crazy things that USAID was spending money on.

00:26:57.000 And just based on appearance, these aren't people you expected to know this.

00:27:00.000 So it's all coming together.

00:27:02.000 And I feel, you know...

00:27:04.000 I'm overjoyed, Charlie.

00:27:05.000 I really didn't think that I could be this happy in late February.

00:27:09.000 We must keep the pressure on.

00:27:11.000 Must keep the pressure on.

00:27:13.000 That's right.

00:27:14.000 Cain, you're the best.

00:28:42.000 Today is a very heavy day on The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:28:48.000 We have lost one of our great content creators where so much of our content, our ability to be able to fill Segments is gone.

00:29:01.000 And it's a very joyless day.

00:29:03.000 Playcut 76. Shout out to our amazing readers, our audience.

00:29:07.000 I just love running into y'all in the airport, on these streets, and on social media.

00:29:11.000 I could not love or appreciate you more.

00:29:13.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you for holding us down.

00:29:16.000 Almost five years, we are a toddler, and we out in these streets, in this world, and we are not going to stop.

00:29:21.000 I mean, that's just a perfect segment for why she got canceled. 0.92

00:29:24.000 All of a sudden she's talking in jive now, talking about being on the streets now that she's gotten canceled on her network show.

00:29:30.000 Like, okay, got it.

00:29:31.000 Where's that been the last five years?

00:29:33.000 Yeah, we out on these streets.

00:29:35.000 Okay, yeah, great.

00:29:37.000 Now all of a sudden she's like a person that got canceled because everyone's a racist.

00:29:42.000 Yeah, she's going to have to file unemployment. 1.00

00:29:44.000 I don't think that those unemployment claims are going to cover your salary.

00:29:48.000 In the wake of Joy Reid being canceled.

00:29:52.000 Chris Hayes or Rachel Maddow, I get them confused.

00:29:56.000 I'm telling you, they could switch and no one would notice.

00:29:58.000 Has this to say, Playcut 78. I will tell you, it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two, count them, two non-white hosts in primetime, both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the weekend.

00:30:16.000 And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them.

00:30:20.000 That feels...

00:30:21.000 Indefensible.

00:30:22.000 And I do not defend it.

00:30:24.000 Well, then why don't you give up your show, Rachel? 0.98

00:30:26.000 Come on.

00:30:27.000 Be a partner in reparations and distribution and equity.

00:30:30.000 Why don't you say, I'm giving up my nearly, what does she make, $20 to $30 million a year?

00:30:37.000 Why doesn't Rachel Maddow give her salary to Joy Reid? 1.00

00:30:42.000 Because that's equity.

00:30:44.000 White lesbian Rachel Maddow gets to keep on having a show, but... 1.00

00:30:49.000 Joy Reid does not.

00:30:50.000 That's not fair.

00:30:52.000 Rachel Maddow calling MSNBC racist for canning the most vile racist to ever have a primetime TV show is really rich.

00:31:00.000 Let's just kind of go through some of the greatest hits of Joy Reid.

00:31:06.000 Playcut 94. Only the white Christian men may have the things. 0.80

00:31:09.000 So you own everything that happens to your mixed status families. 0.96

00:31:13.000 And to your wives, sisters, and abuelas.

00:31:15.000 Joy.

00:31:16.000 If you are black plus anything else, you are black. 0.96

00:31:18.000 Violent white nationalism that today threatens our national security.

00:31:22.000 Do you notice there was no jive in that?

00:31:25.000 You know, when she's reading the teleprompter, she talks straight, as you would say, but oh, when she gets canceled, we out here in the streets.

00:31:33.000 Play cut 95. We do have a fascist groundswell in parts of this country, mainly among white men, let's be clear.

00:31:41.000 I mean, you're also a white guy.

00:31:42.000 Are you saying the we is white folks need more kids?

00:31:46.000 Like Trump, Hitler was also viewed as a clown, a goon, who could be kept in line after a four-year break to, you know, learn to accurately quote Adolf Hitler. 0.51

00:31:56.000 Oh, it gets better.

00:31:58.000 Let's play cut 103. There's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears, particularly male white tears. 0.55

00:32:10.000 Really white tears in general, because that's what carrots are, right?

00:32:13.000 They carrot out, and then as soon as they get caught, bring waterworks.

00:32:19.000 White men can get away with that, too. 0.96

00:32:20.000 And it has the same effect.

00:32:22.000 Oh, we're talking about crying?

00:32:25.000 Cry more, race lady. 1.00

00:32:28.000 Playcut 75. My show had value.

00:32:31.000 And that...

00:32:33.000 I'm sorry.

00:32:35.000 That what I've been doing have value.

00:32:41.000 Have value.

00:32:42.000 And in the end, I try not to cry on TV.

00:32:45.000 And at the end, it's kind of like you on TV, so I apologize.

00:32:47.000 Sorry, I haven't seen all these clips.

00:32:51.000 I'm sorry.

00:32:54.000 That one's good.

00:32:56.000 That's a good one.

00:32:58.000 Trump fumbling over trying to play the Titanic theme.

00:33:03.000 In all seriousness, we're actually going to miss her.

00:33:04.000 Who is going to foment the black nationalist rage on MSNBC? I don't know if Jen Psaki could carry that torch. 1.00

00:33:12.000 Al Sharpton?

00:33:14.000 So Joy, MSNBC is now joyless.

00:33:18.000 What she's going to do, I don't know.

00:33:19.000 She will go into oblivion. 0.75

00:33:20.000 It's a mystery why her show was canceled. 0.95

00:33:23.000 But Trump really is making America great again.

00:33:26.000 We have a border.

00:33:27.000 We're ending wars.

00:33:29.000 And Joy Reid is out!

00:33:36.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:33:38.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:33:40.000 Thanks so much for listening.
