00:01:11.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:18.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:27.000Well, I think, first of all, and this is a tough thing to say, but I think the Republican policies, or I should say, the principles that the campaign consultants use are just wrong.
00:02:40.000A number of our candidates came out of the primaries virtually broke, and for two or three months, they weren't spending any money.
00:02:47.000Meanwhile, the Democrats were identifying and defining our candidates, and the number of them never quite recovered.
00:02:54.000In some cases, and here I think Mitch McConnell was a major problem.
00:02:59.000He had a huge super PAC, but it believed in spending money late.
00:03:03.000Well, the problem with that is in a lot of states now, people vote so early that if you aren't shaping the election in August and September, you're really missing the whole first wave of voting.
00:03:48.000In the Senate, however, you have a Senate leader who explicitly does not believe you should have an agenda, wants to run essentially negative campaigns.
00:03:57.000And in the long run, I think there were a lot of people who said, okay, I'm not happy with the Democrats, but I want to know what the Republicans are going to do for me.
00:04:06.000And unfortunately, what we found was that we couldn't get them to say in a positive way exactly what they do.
00:04:13.000So those are the biggest factors, I think.
00:04:16.000I should point out, by the way, Charlie, almost all the early analysis was wrong.
00:04:21.000We actually got, I think, 5.3 million more votes than the Democrats for the House.
00:04:28.000We actually did dramatically better with women than we did in 2018.
00:04:33.000So all the analysis about abortion has to be looked at again.
00:04:37.000We significantly increased our vote with black males, and we significantly increased our vote with Latinos.
00:04:44.000And we did amazingly well with Asian Americans who are really, really worried about crime.
00:04:50.000So I think there's a lot of the early analysis and the sort of glib commentating that just isn't accurate.
00:04:59.000We are set up for, I think, a very wild period in the House.
00:05:04.000Kevin McCarthy, who I believe in as Speaker, is going to have a small group on the right that are going to be raising cane all the time.
00:05:12.000And it's going to be challenging for him.
00:05:14.000In the Senate, I'm very supportive of Herschel Walker.
00:05:18.000The difference between winning the 50th Senate seat and being at 49 is enormous.
00:05:34.000And I'll be honest, Newt, a lot of people on the right, myself included, we're still kind of digging ourselves out of the midterm hole, but we have this very important runoff in Georgia.
00:05:43.000Can you elaborate on that a little bit?
00:05:45.000Because I think that needs to be communicated to our audience because people say, oh, well, we're not going to control the Senate.
00:05:54.000If you are at 50-50, then the Republicans have equal strength in all the committees.
00:06:00.000You can block an amazing number of things.
00:06:03.000You can stop the Democrats from passing a variety of things because while Kamala Harris, the vice president, gives them the 51st vote, it doesn't really let them maneuver in ways they'd like to.
00:06:15.000If you're at 49, then the Democrats openly control all the committees.
00:06:22.000They decide who is going to be brought up for a vote, for example, among Biden's various nominees for executive branch office or for judges.
00:06:32.000So there's a very, very big difference.
00:06:34.000And I think the other thing I would just say personally, because I know Herschel and I really admire him, I think that Herschel Walker has the courage, the integrity to be a really remarkable U.S. Senator.
00:06:46.000And I think having an African-American with his background, somebody who's good at business, somebody who's given over 400 speeches on military bases to help young people dealing with PTSD because of his own experience with having had concussions playing football and in mixed martial arts.
00:07:06.000I think Herschel would be such a dramatic improvement over Senator Warnock, who is a hardline left-wing politician, that I really do think that it's worth a lot of effort to make sure Herschel wins.
00:07:20.000And I'm delighted that Governor Kemp is going out and his team is going out and they're doing all they can to help elect Herschel.
00:07:28.000Yeah, and I hope that there is more of a team mentality versus the runoffs that happened two years ago.
00:07:33.000Two years ago just felt so fractured and just kind of like a side issue.
00:07:37.000So, but Mr. Speaker, I want to ask you, you know, going into the midterm elections, you know, I was talking about a realignment election.
00:07:50.000Yeah, but I just, I'm trying to figure out how, what did we miss in the sense of the independence, right?
00:07:56.000Because I think that's the one demographic that just didn't quite get there.
00:08:00.000Is it mostly the McConnell thing, or was there something else hidden?
00:08:04.000Well, I think there were two other things, one of which I would never quite have imagined.
00:08:10.000I think there's a one was that they managed to define Republicans, partly based on Trump, partly based just on the sheer rhetoric of that we're the extremist, et cetera.
00:08:21.000So I think for a lot of people, they created a barrier to voting for us.
00:08:25.000Although, as I pointed out, we did in fact get far more total votes than the Democrats did.
00:08:32.000The second thing I think was people, people, and this really surprised me, Charlie, people saw Biden as so weak and so cognitively challenged that they didn't quite blame him.
00:08:51.000But you didn't have the kind of blame you would have had if he'd been a younger, stronger person.
00:08:56.000And so, in a funny kind of way, it was kind of like, you know, as somebody once said, the uncle in the closet or the uncle hidden in the attic.
00:09:06.000They were willing to give him the benefit of a doubt.
00:09:09.000And frankly, I think that turned out to be the case with Fetterman.
00:09:12.000I think there was a significant group of people in Pennsylvania who felt sorry for him.
00:09:18.000And rather than seeing his stroke as having made it impossible for him to serve as a senator, they kind of felt like they didn't want to pile on and make his life even worse.
00:09:29.000Yeah, in a very strange way, there was definitely a sympathy of vote.
00:09:32.000But because, I mean, you look at Fetterman, you look at Biden, they're so incapable of talking.
00:09:37.000It's as if people, swing voters, were not able to hold them accountable or put any responsibility on them of anything that they might do.
00:09:47.000I just, Mr. Speaker, I got to be honest, we'll talk about this after the break.
00:09:49.000It's so hard for me to believe that John Fetterman won by the margin he won in Pennsylvania.
00:09:55.000I'm not saying that, you know, it's just so hard for me to understand that.
00:10:00.000And the thing I want to talk, Mr. Speaker, about, you know, after the break is how elections have changed into almost who has the better machine.
00:10:10.000And this really was the Obama vision because it just looks as if now it's about early voting and ballot harvesting and this Act Blue juggernaut they have of raising.
00:10:21.000I mean, Democrats raised $800 million more dollars just on Act Blue versus Win Red.
00:10:30.000And that doesn't count all their dark money.
00:10:32.000That doesn't count all their left-wing super PACs or any of that.
00:10:36.000Mr. Speaker, can you speak a little bit to the fact that it seems as if Democrats were less worried about engaging in debates like Katie Hobbes or Fetterman, but they're more interested in chasing ballots than actually convincing voters?
00:10:50.000Is it time for us to change the way we think about elections as well?
00:10:54.000Yeah, look, I think the Republican doctrine for elections is just wrong.
00:11:02.000Let me start with something you said just before the break, by the way, and that is that the win-red numbers are much smaller than the Democratic system.
00:11:15.000Part of that is because as much as it's five or six years behind in development, but part of it is that Google in particular refuses to deliver.
00:11:25.000And I talked with Ronald McDaniel about this, the Republican National Committee chair before the election.
00:11:31.000Routinely, the last four days of the month, Google manages to not deliver Republican emails.
00:11:39.000And so from a fundraising perspective, the largest single delivery system in the country was methodically biased against the win-red and in favor of Act Blue.
00:11:53.000The other big difference you put your finger on exactly, and I'm trying to put together now sort of a list of things that we need to learn if we're not going to repeat this in 2024.
00:12:06.000Democrats focus on winning the election.
00:12:12.000Part of that, I think, is the way the consulting system works.
00:12:16.000Republican consultants make a lot of money out of placing TV ads.
00:12:20.000They have a big bias in favor of media, whether it's effective or not.
00:12:25.000Democrats start out with the idea that I don't care how the campaign goes.
00:12:29.000I want to know when it's over, did I win the election?
00:12:32.000And so, if you watch them, they're much more ruthlessly centered.
00:12:37.000They start collecting votes much earlier, which means they can tell you who on their base has already voted and who they need to focus on.
00:12:46.000And we've now been through two cycles where it's very clear that their model is just better than ours.
00:12:52.000And yet, you have a pretty large political consultant industry, if you will, that has a great deal of commitment to the old order and doesn't want to change.
00:13:02.000And that's one of the things I would say to everybody who's a donor is that they should really ask carefully whether or not the candidates and the campaigns they're going to support are going to be rethought based on what we've learned.
00:13:14.000I mean, I think this was a very frustrating election.
00:13:18.000I certainly was wrong about the outcome.
00:13:21.000I still look at the data and can't figure it out.
00:13:24.000And it troubles me a great deal that we did not have a more effective impact given the potential of the repudiation of Biden's policies.
00:13:34.000Yeah, I mean, you look in Arizona where I live, and we're so focused on Arizona here, where the congressional candidates did very well.
00:13:42.000Arizona, for the first time in a couple of years, is going to be sending more Republicans to the House of Representatives than Democrats.
00:14:25.000I mean, many of the pollsters that I trust most were just wrong.
00:14:29.000And I think they're still scratching their heads trying to figure out what went wrong.
00:14:33.000And of course, you also had in Mariposa County, which is 60% of the vote in Arizona, you had this weird moment.
00:14:39.000Imagine that you had been in a county that was overwhelmingly black and they had 20% of the machines didn't work, leading to very, very long lines, to people going home in frustration.
00:14:54.000You know, it would have become a major national civil rights scandal.
00:15:39.000Our great country was founded on the principle that all men are created equal.
00:15:43.000But far too many of our nation's colleges and universities, including those Ivy League schools, continue to insist on using race as a factor of admission.
00:15:52.000The Supreme Court is deciding a case on this right now.
00:15:54.000But there's a unique American college that does not discriminate based on race.
00:16:00.000Hillsdale was founded in 1844 to educate all people, irrespective of nationality, color, or sex.
00:16:06.000It continues the policy today, admitting students on their strength of their character, ability, and intentions, not their heritage or background.
00:16:13.000My friend Larry Yarn, the president of Hillsdale College, recently published an article explaining Hillsdale's colorblind policies and its related refusal of government funding, even indirectly inform a federal student aid.
00:16:25.000Read it for yourself at charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:16:28.000After you read it, you may want to support Hillsdale with a year-end gift.
00:16:30.000So go please read Dr. Larry Arn's article at charlie4hillsdale.com, charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:16:40.000A lot of people are asking questions about the Maricopa election results.
00:16:47.000We're going to need to see some lawsuits very soon.
00:16:49.000Unfortunately, we're up against some pretty significant deadlines when it comes to certification.
00:16:55.000So I really hope a courageous judge will do the right thing.
00:17:00.000This woman that emailed us this morning, she said, I wanted to vote for the first time since 1981 that she was not able to vote because of the incompetence of Mara Copa County.
00:17:20.000What does it mean that there is a special counsel investigating Trump?
00:17:23.000It means there is an explosion of the politicization of the FBI and DOJ.
00:17:27.000And just look at this statistic coming from me, a former federal prosecutor.
00:17:31.000The only two federal prosecutors in DOJ history who were crushed and reversed nine to zero by the Supreme Court for criminal convictions that were vacated because they were unlawful were Andrew Weissman.
00:17:44.000And you guessed it, the special counsel Merrick Garland just appointed in Jack Smith when he brought the Bob McDonald prosecutions.
00:17:52.000This is the type of people we have that they say are apolitical figures leading our law enforcement agencies.
00:17:58.000And if that weren't enough, this guy was the head of public integrity at DOJ when the Lois Lerner scandal broke out of the IRS to target conservative institutions.
00:18:06.000Yeah, so what are they investigating exactly?
00:18:09.000I mean, I don't mean that like sarcastically.
00:18:19.000And, you know, whatever we see in the public is whatever I'm able to talk about.
00:18:22.000But the DOJ is supposed to be able to prosecute cases across the board.
00:18:28.000A special counsel only comes in when there's a conflict of interest.
00:18:32.000They had the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C. and Maine Justice and the behead that the FBI investigating Trump for however long, and they realized, oh, the midterm elections are over.
00:18:44.000That means Congress and the Judiciary Committee specifically, hopefully led by Jim Jordan, is going to come in and say, what are you guys doing about Hunter Biden?
00:18:53.000Why are you still going after President Trump?
00:18:56.000And I think Merrick Garland did this to politically protect himself to say, uh-oh, special counsel, if you quote, recall Mueller during Russia Gate, they gave a hard roadblock shutdown once the special counsel was appointed to Congress and said, We can't give you any documents.
00:19:22.000No, they do at some point have to get budgeting for it.
00:19:25.000But an attorney general can, there's a regulation in the code of federal procedure that basically says an attorney general has the authority to appoint a special counsel when there's a conflict of interest, or quote, there is a significant public interest in doing so, which is just a meaningless verbiage for political government gangsters to fulfill the political needs of the DOJ and FBI, which you would think there used to be none.
00:19:49.000That's why that language was written like that.
00:19:51.000But that's why I have called for repeatedly a constant, a total overhaul of how special counsels are appointed and who they report to.
00:19:58.000They only report to the attorney general.
00:20:14.000The special counsel is still a branch and falls under the Department of Justice.
00:20:18.000Now, whether we play the hardball that the Democrats did with the unselect committee and issue subpoenas on a daily basis for documents and force people to comply and show up and testify, i.e., Garland, Ray, and all of their goons, that remains to be seen.
00:20:34.000I think we will see some of that, but it's going to take some serious gumption from our leadership in Congress when we take the gavels at the House come January in order for that to happen.
00:20:43.000Then I just remind them: look at the rules they treated us by.
00:21:09.000You've worked, you were chief of staff at DOD, all sorts of different things.
00:21:12.000So, my question is: how should this Congress operate, okay, in its ideal sense, okay, in its ideal way to be able to actually get this fourth branch of government to come to heal?
00:21:28.000Cash, we have Christopher Wray who thinks so low of Republican senators that he cancels a hearing and goes to the FBI taxpayer-funded Gulf Stream and flies to the Adirondacks.
00:21:56.000It's the only thing that these people ever respond to.
00:21:59.000And remember, the budgeting process starts and ends in the House of Representatives.
00:22:03.000Yes, the Senate has to approve it, but it starts and ends in the House.
00:22:06.000And what the committees have the power to do, what we did one time, because Paul Ryan wouldn't let me do it again during Russia Gate when we issued 17 subpoenas and Rod Rosenstein and Chris Ray failed to comply.
00:22:17.000It's called this maneuver called fencing the money.
00:22:20.000When you fence the money, you literally put up an imaginary fence around pots of money that these agencies and departments use to operate.
00:22:28.000The next morning, after fencing the money, I got thousands of pages of documents produced to us with the media see, including the Bruce North 302s, the FISA warrants, the FBI corruption, and everything we now know about.
00:22:40.000I think Jim Jordan has this exact same maneuverability.
00:22:43.000He's just going to need top cover from Republican leadership, such as Kevin McCarthy, if he's a speaker.
00:23:09.000Why is it some sort of trick we have to pull out, I guess?
00:23:13.000I think, I guess, going back to when there was bipartisan legislatures, which that's totally gone, and you had respect between Congress and the executive branch, subpoenas weren't ignored.
00:24:04.000Again, he's going to need either, this gets a little complicated.
00:24:07.000You either need the speaker of the house to approve it, or you need the speaker of the house to delegate it to the chairman and women of the respective committees so that they don't have to go to him, which is why we had to go to Paul Ryan and he only let me do it one time.
00:25:07.000So I'm not for, and I've never said we should take all of their money.
00:25:10.000What fencing does, instead of getting involved in the budgeting process, which is the most arcane thing you can think of, it literally just says, oh, you got 5 million bucks for your government jet that you're using to take on vacation.
00:26:12.000And so, I mean, what would the example then be for DHS?
00:26:15.000Whatever kind of above-life, you know, above-luxury thing that Maorkis is enjoying, right?
00:26:21.000Some sort of, you know, excess of the ruling class.
00:26:24.000I mean, you just, what you're saying is that this Republican Congress, instead of just going after all their funding, which makes it look like you're then trying to make it so they can't do their job, you hold hostage their hot tubs, their jacuzzis, their private jets, their champagne dinners.
00:26:40.000I mean, basically, you look, you know, the difference between Republicans and conservatives and liberals is that they want to grow government.
00:26:45.000So when you go to DHS, you go to Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Affairs Committee has jurisdiction over DHS and you say, hey, Majorkis, I know you want to hire a thousand more DHS personnel.
00:26:55.000Well, that pot of money is now fenced and you can't do it.
00:28:13.000Stock your stuffings with Russia Gate for kids and young adults.
00:28:16.000And then Plot Against the King, 2,000 Mules are sequel in collaboration with Tadesh D'Souza.
00:28:21.000Election integrity is front and center more than anything.
00:28:23.000We had a great time, and President Trump launched these both books to number one on Truth Social and Beyond.
00:28:28.000So go to plotagainstheking.com and get your families these books, this package today.
00:28:37.000Rents are soaring at unprecedented highs.
00:28:39.000If you're renting or have a friend or family member, that is, now is a great time to make the move to homeownership.
00:28:46.000Look, you got to own renting, that's great reset stuff.
00:28:49.000Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed.
00:29:01.000I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website.
00:29:05.000They're great guys, they're Christians, they're conservatives, they love the Lord.
00:30:28.000Well, what if there's a toner issue with the tabulators?
00:30:32.000What if there's lines so long as far as the eye can see?
00:30:36.000And then all of a sudden, things start to add up.
00:30:38.000And Anthem has two and a half hour waits, and Wickenburg has an hour wait, and Scottsdale has an hour wait.
00:30:43.000I do want to play a piece of tape here from a Salem Radio Network event that we did when we were talking about maybe people should vote early.
00:30:51.000I wish I would have said this more often.
00:31:15.000I'm telling you right now, we are going to see three, four, five, six-hour waiting lines in Maricopa County, and Mesa, in Goodyear, in Sun City.
00:31:24.000And unless you're ready to wait six hours to go vote, then we got to figure this out.
00:31:29.000I'm not a fan of mail-in voting at all, but in-person early voting should not be discounted unless you want to wait three or four hours in line.
00:31:37.000I think we are going to see a traffic jam designed by Steven Richard, designed previously by Fontes, that criminal that used to be in there.
00:31:45.000Yeah, that was in front of about 600 grassroots voters.
00:31:52.000And that was, yeah, it turned out to be right.
00:31:59.000Cash, there's a lot of people that are asking about, you know, Donald Trump running in 2024.
00:32:06.000I mean, some people are saying the special prosecutor, special counsel is only going to, it's going to take a couple years to unfold.
00:32:13.000What is the timeline or the horizon on some of these things?
00:32:16.000So by definition, there is no timeline.
00:32:19.000There's a mandate that Merrick Garland hopefully will put out, which is a piece of paper that says, you, Mr. Special Counsel, this is your left.
00:32:37.000And a special counsel has to come back to DOJ and eventually Congress for a budget.
00:32:42.000So knowing the way these government gangsters operate, Chris Ray and Merrick Garland Company and Lisa Monico and John Carlin, guys I used to literally work for, they've at least probably set him up with a budget that he can go on for at least a year.
00:32:55.000But beyond that, it's probably going to take a little more.
00:32:57.000But look, you remember Mueller, it takes three more, three, four months to set this thing up.
00:33:01.000He's still in Holland or wherever he is in The Hague doing whatever.
00:33:05.000He's not even going to be here for a couple of months.
00:33:08.000So this thing really won't even get going until maybe early next year.
00:33:58.000I mean, if do you think that this could eventually be timed up right when Donald Trump is a general election nominee two years from now?
00:34:07.000I mean, that would violate literally the only thing that DOJ keeps saying they'll never violate.
00:34:11.000But I know you're laughing and I am too.
00:34:13.000But if they would bring an indictment in and around an election cycle, I mean, that's literally written in DOJ, like the, you know, there's no Bible over there, but the equivalent of it that says you don't do that.
00:34:23.000But we've seen these guys just create their own rules and maybe they will.
00:34:26.000Maybe their plan, though, is just to keep Donald Trump on the defensive with such an onslaught of leaks of information.
00:34:35.000And instead of indicting him, they'll just have basically a media headline indictment every week, which they might think is good enough to wound him.
00:34:48.000It's more critical ever than now, especially in Nevada and Arizona, where we learned the hard way how elections were basically taken away from us.
