00:01:09.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:12.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:16.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:17.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:26.000 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.

00:01:35.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:50.000 Last night was a shot heard around the world.

00:01:54.000 Something that I was personally very involved in.

00:01:56.000 I remember last spring driving in the car.

00:02:00.000 I think Andrew was with us and Jake was with us.

00:02:02.000 We were going up to CPAC and I had my first political phone call.

00:02:06.000 I knew JD before with JD Vance.

00:02:09.000 And JD said, look, I'm thinking about potentially running for office.

00:02:12.000 He was very careful, right, with how he talked about it, obviously, because of all the kind of laws around it.

00:02:18.000 He said, I'm thinking possibly, I said, you got to get in the race.

00:02:21.000 I said, someone like you that understands really what's going on here could be part of the new right.

00:02:26.000 I remember I used that term.

00:02:27.000 And he said, okay, I'll think about it.

00:02:29.000 You know, any advice you have for me.

00:02:31.000 And I gave him a couple pointers and a couple introductions.

00:02:33.000 And we had JD come out and speak at one of our Turning Point Action events a couple weeks later.

00:02:39.000 And as soon as JD Vance announced for office, we endorsed him.

00:02:42.000 Turning point action did enough.

00:02:43.000 I could show you on air, but I won't because it would be humiliating and embarrassing for these people.

00:02:47.000 And I don't want to do that.

00:02:49.000 All of the quote-unquote smart people that tried to mentor me about how dumb I was to endorse JD Vance.

00:02:56.000 Oh, Charlie, he's never going to win.

00:02:58.000 Or my favorite text that I have, someone has to come and forth. 0.99

00:03:02.000 People saying that JD stands no chance whatsoever that you're going to make a fool.

00:03:07.000 Charlie, your endorsement means more than this.

00:03:10.000 Don't try to dilute it with fringe candidates is what I was told.

00:03:16.000 Fringe candidates on the outliers.

00:03:19.000 And so I waited patiently and let the race kind of develop and let it grow and started to see how things were moving. 0.97

00:03:30.000 And as months progressed, JD started to surge in the polls.

00:03:34.000 And a couple weeks ago, obviously, JD Vance received the Donald Trump endorsement, the endorsement from President Trump, which was well earned and well-deserved.

00:03:44.000 And last night, JD Vance, in the primary campaign heard around the world, in the primary campaign heard around the world, we were able to shock everybody.

00:03:58.000 And this is how MSNBC responded.

00:04:01.000 Play cut 42.

00:04:02.000 And even at the end, three or four who could conceivably have won last night.

00:04:06.000 And it wasn't even close last night.

00:04:08.000 This is a, you know, this is a, he puts, he's got almost a 10-point victory here over Josh Mandel, who was like easily the frontrunner in this field until the day that Donald Trump endorsed JD Vance.

00:04:20.000 So, you know, Donald Trump actually, I mean, as painful as it is for you to say, Elise, that you're on Ted Cruz's side about anything, I feel the bitter bile rising in my throat when I say Donald Trump will brag about this today.

00:04:33.000 And in the limited sense that, you know, in the limited sense that he demonstrated that he still has an enormous power over his own party and their primary electorate, he'll be right.

00:04:42.000 He has bragging rights on this today.

00:04:45.000 This is the rise of the new right.

00:04:47.000 Now, mind you, I know a lot of people, good people, that are supportive of Turning Point USA that were on the other side of this primary.

00:04:54.000 And I totally, you know, have respect for them and we want the direction of the country to go in a center-right direction.

00:05:00.000 Obviously, obviously, I want it to go in a firm conservative direction.

00:05:03.000 I know a lot of people that pump millions of dollars into this race against JD Vance, and they're good people.

00:05:09.000 I know some other people that are not so good people that pump millions of dollars into this race for different reasons.

00:05:14.000 JD Vance received criticism from every single institutional enemy, from the pharmaceutical companies, from the military-industrial complex, from the open border lobby.

00:05:26.000 And what we saw last night with JD Vance's shocking, nearly double-digit victory in the state of Ohio is the creation of something that you deserve, that you as a voter deserve.

00:05:39.000 We're going to call it the new right, but what is the new right?

00:05:41.000 Well, this is the most important thing, and the media will not describe this correctly.

00:05:48.000 Here's the right way to look at it: the voters have not changed.

00:05:51.000 You have not changed.

00:05:52.000 Your beliefs have remained the same.

00:05:54.000 Instead, the new right is finally getting leaders that are in alignment with your values.

00:06:01.000 That's what's changed.

00:06:03.000 What's changed is not the fact that all of a sudden voters are changing their minds on issues like trade and immigration and the corporate oligarchy.

00:06:10.000 No, finally, you get leaders that agree with you.

00:06:13.000 Finally, you're not getting leaders that say one thing and do the other.

00:06:18.000 You see, the new right, which you're starting to see pop up in congressional districts and this incredible, shocking victory in Ohio yesterday, is a new generation of leaders who will address the issues that this bipartisan oligarchy created.

00:06:33.000 Look, the D.C. establishment hates J.D. the same way that they hated Donald Trump.

00:06:38.000 It's unbelievable.

00:06:40.000 In fact, that was Axios' lead this morning.

00:06:43.000 I'm going to read it word for word.

00:06:46.000 Axios, quote, the Republican establishment privately regards JD Vance, who won last night's Ohio Republican Senate primary, with the same disgust many felt towards Donald Trump when he entered the White House.

00:06:58.000 For every grassroots conservative, that should make you thrilled, that somebody won in the Ohio primary that the Washington, D.C. cartel, the kingdom of Washington, D.C., hates so much that they poured almost $20 million in opposition.

00:07:16.000 You see, the new right, as we describe it, is a response to voters.

00:07:21.000 You see, the new right listens to their voters, looks to their concerns, and is willing to do something about it.

00:07:28.000 You see, the old right, they had five or six or seven beliefs that they wouldn't change no matter what.

00:07:35.000 And let's just take one in particular.

00:07:36.000 And I traveled the last couple of days in Ohio with JD Vance, and the one issue where I got the most nods of agreement and the most applause was the issue of manufacturing.

00:07:46.000 When I said that, look, Ohio got a raw deal, that your leader shut down your manufacturing base and in return, you got piles of cheap plastic from China and opioids, everyone nodded their head.

00:07:56.000 They saw that happen in Ohio, where the working class of Ohio had to be humiliated to train their replacements.

00:08:04.000 Now, mind you, when you look at what happened across the heartland of Ohio, Republican leaders always say, we need more international trade to fix this.

00:08:15.000 Never actually having to say, wait a second, we love trade.

00:08:17.000 Trade obviously can make a country richer, of course.

00:08:21.000 But are there certain sectors that maybe you should take more seriously than others, like making steel?

00:08:27.000 Is every sector the same?

00:08:29.000 Is a managerial job and an information technology job, or even just the information economy, or some sort of consultant, is that as valuable to a country as someone who works with their hands and makes physical stuff?

00:08:41.000 We learned during the Chinese Fauci coronavirus that if you don't make your own stuff, you're going to be reliant on foreign countries. 0.94

00:08:47.000 That's just a very basic thing a country has to think about.

00:08:50.000 That's not political, by the way.

00:08:52.000 That's not ideological.

00:08:53.000 It's just kind of being like, wow, that wasn't smart.

00:08:56.000 And yet Republicans, Republican establishment operatives and Republican candidates get as emotional about the issue of tariffs on China as we do about the transgender issue.

00:09:08.000 Like when we hear about the transgender thing, we get like really passionate about it.

00:09:11.000 They start screaming if you talk about tariffs.

00:09:14.000 Why?

00:09:14.000 Well, because it goes against the bottom line of the managerial class that shut down factories in Hubbard, Ohio, in Centerville, Ohio, and Middleton, Ohio.

00:09:22.000 When I went to some of these manufacturing plants in Ohio and I met the leaders from these manufacturing plants, they said, Charlie, I pay a higher effective corporate tax rate than Jeff Bezos.

00:09:32.000 That's not right.

00:09:32.000 There's something wrong about that.

00:09:34.000 The guy that has 150 employees that is actually making physical product that has to source his product, we should say as a country, that matters.

00:09:44.000 Now, mind you, some Republicans say, well, that's picking winners and losers.

00:09:47.000 They pick winners and losers all the time in Washington, D.C. Just as they just happen to want the loser to be the American worker.

00:09:53.000 They want the managerial class to benefit.

00:09:55.000 They get winners and losers.

00:09:56.000 How about the bank bailouts for Goldman Sachs?

00:09:58.000 That wasn't picking winners and losers for Citibank or for Wells Fargo or JP Morgan.

00:10:05.000 They pick winners and losers all the time.

00:10:06.000 Pfizer, that wasn't picking winners and losers for a vaccine mandate funded by taxpayers.

00:10:10.000 No.

00:10:10.000 What they're really saying is that we don't want those people in the heartland of the country to ever get their power back.

00:10:17.000 That's what they're really saying.

00:10:20.000 I'm going to save these emails.

00:10:21.000 Someone says, Charlie, I love Trump and y'all, but he supported a rhino named JD Vance.

00:10:25.000 Okay, we'll see.

00:10:26.000 Two years from now, I think you'll have a different opinion.

00:10:28.000 When JD Vance is on the committees investigating Fauci and Facebook and Google and putting the pressure on, I want everyone to have an opportunity to reconsider.

00:10:40.000 It's okay.

00:10:40.000 I understand after primaries, people can have strong opinions.

00:10:44.000 I totally understand that.

00:10:45.000 Okay.

00:10:46.000 But I want to kind of build this out, which is you deserve better as a voter.

00:10:51.000 You deserve better.

00:10:52.000 And one of the people that was actually stumping with us in Ohio is Josh Hawley.

00:10:57.000 And Josh Hawley is somebody who has just blown away expectations, by the way.

00:11:02.000 You look at how he's investigated tech.

00:11:04.000 Now, let me tell you the power of what one senator can have.

00:11:07.000 And mind you, Josh Hawley is considered probably the most conservative senator in Congress.

00:11:12.000 He's up there, right?

00:11:14.000 What kind of impact can one senator have?

00:11:17.000 Well, Josh Hawley was the only one that was willing to actually expose Katanji Brown Jackson's child pornography cases.

00:11:23.000 You know that no one was talking about that before Josh Hawley?

00:11:26.000 No one.

00:11:27.000 And in fact, Josh Hawley has now, I believe, permanently mired and good for good reason the reputation of Katanji Brown Jackson and her child pornography defense.

00:11:38.000 That's what one senator can do.

00:11:39.000 Senator Josh Hawley has exposed more corruption within Facebook than any other senator.

00:11:43.000 Now, why am I saying this?

00:11:44.000 Is that it just takes a group of people eventually to build consensus in the Senate?

00:11:48.000 It's one of the reasons why they're so worried.

00:11:50.000 In fact, some of the internal DC chatter that got leaked is quote, oh no, I hope it's not another Josh Hawley with JD Vance.

00:11:58.000 Josh Hawley has been one of the most socially conservative senators, by the way, on every single potential issue.

00:12:05.000 But Josh Hawley represents the new right, but Josh Hawley sneaked through.

00:12:08.000 You must understand, Josh Hawley ran a very boring Senate campaign, very buttoned up, very, you didn't quite know where he stood on things.

00:12:16.000 Josh, I went to a fundraiser once.

00:12:18.000 I was invited to it.

00:12:20.000 And things were different back then in 2018 at a billionaire's home in Dallas.

00:12:27.000 And it was hosted by George W. Bush for Josh Hawley.

00:12:31.000 And I attended just to kind of see.

00:12:33.000 And, you know, George Bush, I've met him a couple times.

00:12:35.000 He's actually a very nice person.

00:12:36.000 And he was having a good time.

00:12:39.000 And so there's Bush literally raising money for Josh Hawley.

00:12:42.000 I don't think he's going to do that anymore.

00:12:44.000 One of the reasons why Josh Hawley, I think he worked in the Bush White House, I could be mistaken, but I know he clerked for John Roberts.

00:12:51.000 That's where he met his wife.

00:12:52.000 And Senator Hawley's been incredibly impressive.

00:12:54.000 But Hawley kind of snuck through in the 2018 wave.

00:12:57.000 You see, they want someone who runs as a conservative, but actually votes in the Senate like a moderate establishment type.

00:13:05.000 Hawley did the opposite.

00:13:07.000 Hawley really confused a lot of people in Washington, D.C.

00:13:10.000 He ran as a super boring candidate, and he's been an unbelievably aggressive U.S. Senator in a good way.

00:13:17.000 How so?

00:13:19.000 Senator Josh Hawley, if you go to his website, I saw this the other day, I couldn't believe it.

00:13:23.000 If you go to his website, he has on there a trust-busting agenda for the 21st century.

00:13:31.000 That's like the lead on Josh Hawley's website right here: a trust-busting agenda for the 21st century.

00:13:38.000 Josh Hawley is willing to say, wait a second, why are we as conservatives okay with the corporate oligarchy created by Google and Amazon and Disney and Netflix?

00:13:48.000 He argues that their monopoly powers control our speech, our economy, and our country.

00:13:52.000 He's arguing for a natural rights perspective.

00:13:54.000 Now, what's the point here?

00:13:55.000 Josh Hawley was kind of the accidental start of the new right, but J.D. didn't hide his beliefs.

00:14:01.000 JD said very clearly: look, I'm going to be more of a Josh Hawley-type senator.

00:14:06.000 And President Trump, to his great credit, endorsed him.

00:14:09.000 President Trump could have done the safe pick.

00:14:11.000 This was a risky endorsement for President Trump.

00:14:13.000 There is no doubt.

00:14:14.000 JD Vance was near the top of the pack, but he certainly wasn't totally there.

00:14:19.000 And after President Trump endorsed JD Vance in Ohio, he was met with more attack ads, not less.

00:14:26.000 He was met with more attacks, almost a 10-to-1 spending disadvantage.

00:14:32.000 People are now saying on Twitter, they're saying JD Vance is worse than Ted Cruz, is what they're saying.

00:14:38.000 By worse, we mean better.

00:14:39.000 We think of it as better.

00:14:41.000 But there's something very profound here, which is, I want fighters to go to Washington, D.C.

00:14:47.000 And look, there's no way I can prove it to you, you know, until you see it for yourself.

00:14:53.000 I just know J.D., I know what he believes.

00:14:56.000 And you'll see it when he goes there.

00:14:58.000 But I don't want more of the same.

00:15:00.000 I don't want more of candidates who kind of argue for no-fly zones or for open borders.

00:15:05.000 I don't want that.

00:15:06.000 Nor should you, by the way.

00:15:09.000 We want someone with courage and with clarity.

00:15:11.000 And last night, in my opinion, and obviously we could disagree, but there'll be no disagreement kind of once we see the proof.

00:15:19.000 There's no disagreement, Josh Hawley's a great senator.

00:15:22.000 Give it a year.

00:15:23.000 A year from today, mark it down.

00:15:25.000 May 2023, if JD Vance becomes a U.S. Senator, which it looks like he will, let's see how he does.

00:15:33.000 Hey, everybody, we know that there are worldwide food shortages, and it will be a real threat sometime soon.

00:16:26.000 Check it out right now, preparewithkirk.com.

00:16:32.000 All right, so look, here's the thing.

00:16:34.000 If you feel as if Congress is disconnected from your values and how hard you want to see them fight, you're right.

00:16:41.000 And one of the reasons is why these Republican, it's because these Republican primaries are so incredibly expensive, and it's hard for the conservative, for the national conservative candidate to escape all of the ads that the establishment moderate candidate is able to benefit from.

00:17:00.000 And this is one of the things that I think people have to recognize and realize, which is voters are so misrepresented in Washington, D.C., not because you don't show up, but it's because of the system itself that's so difficult to be able to put the best people in office.

00:17:15.000 I guarantee you, whether you're in Idaho or South Carolina or Illinois or Michigan, you have a super good conservative candidate that you know would be a rock star.

00:17:24.000 It's just they're up against huge money.

00:17:27.000 They're up against massive odds.

00:17:29.000 And JD Vance was able to break through a lot of that, largely in part thanks to President Trump's endorsement.

00:17:34.000 But when you start all of a sudden talking about that we're going to put tariffs on Chinese imports, people start to get very nervous.

00:17:43.000 Talking about how Ohio has been so significantly deindustrialized over the last couple of years, people start to get very nervous because there's a lot of profits made by the New York managerial class that came in from companies like McKinsey.

00:18:02.000 And they came in and they shut down these factories, gave pink slips to everyone. 0.96

00:18:06.000 They said, hey, don't worry, you're going to have a job for the next six weeks training your replacements in Bangalore, India, or in Wuhan, China.

00:18:14.000 How humiliating is that?

00:18:16.000 And that has created a fair amount of, I think, deserved resentment.

00:18:22.000 I don't love the politics of resentment.

00:18:24.000 I don't think you like that either.

00:18:26.000 But there is a legitimate claim to ask yourself the question: was the deindustrialization of our country, was that a just and right thing to do?

00:18:36.000 Did it make America a richer country?

00:18:39.000 Made the coasts a lot richer, and it made the heartlands scrambling for a livelihood.

00:18:45.000 Let's go to Cut 50, JD Vance calling out the establishment and both parties over their handling of the drug crisis.

00:18:52.000 Play Cut 50.

00:18:54.000 Think about the drug crisis, an establishment Republican party that refused to do anything against the Sackler family, which poisoned this state with drugs, and an establishment Democrat party that is actively encouraging the Mexican drug cartels to flood us with even worse drugs, the fentanyl that's made in communist China. 0.83

00:19:14.000 How about we put them both in jail, ladies and gentlemen?

00:19:16.000 Why don't we do that?

00:19:21.000 What he just did there is talking about the Sackler family, Sackler family, which of course ran Purdue Pharmaceutical.

00:19:28.000 The Sackler family in a book that was exposed.

00:19:31.000 Boy, I want to find, there's this journalist.

00:19:32.000 I'll think of it.

00:19:33.000 It was a phenomenal book.

00:19:34.000 It was written by a liberal journalist and exposed the entire corruption of the Sackler family.

00:19:38.000 He went on Tucker Carlson like a year ago.

00:19:40.000 It's one of the best interviews Tucker's done.

00:19:42.000 Very, very talented journalist went into how the Sackler family, basically through corruption and FDA swindling, was able to get highly addictive chemical compounded opioids that never should have been on the streets into communities.

00:19:59.000 Now, you might say, well, Charlie, why is it that Ohio had a disproportionate amount of drug addiction versus, say, Massachusetts for this sort of, I think it's empire of pain.

00:20:12.000 I think that's exactly right.

00:20:13.000 Yeah.

00:20:14.000 I think so.

00:20:15.000 Anyway, so the why is it that Ohio or Pennsylvania has this problem not as much as, I don't know, again, Massachusetts or a place that has a highly dependence on the managerial economy.

00:20:28.000 Well, it's really simple.

00:20:30.000 It's because in Ohio, that's where the muscular class lives.

00:20:34.000 So you're working at a manufacturing plant or you're working at a truck depot and you're picking up boxes and you might get hurt at work.

00:20:41.000 And since you're in the muscular class, you go to your doctor and because of the heavy pill pushing done by Purdue Pharmaceutical, a lot of these people were given these drugs, not even understanding what they were.

00:20:51.000 Highly addictive painkillers.

00:20:54.000 Highly addictive.

00:20:55.000 And it had a disproportionate impact on the muscular class.

00:21:02.000 Not to say that opioids haven't hurt other communities.

00:21:05.000 They've hurt everybody.

00:21:06.000 But you look at what communities have had more damage done to them.

00:21:10.000 It's the ones that actually work at their hands because they're more likely to be hurt at work.

00:21:14.000 They're walking around with back pain.

00:21:15.000 They're walking around with all sorts of different types of pain.

00:21:18.000 And all of a sudden, they fall victim to this sort of empire, the Sackler family empire.

00:21:24.000 Why are Republicans not talking about the Sackler family a lot?

00:21:27.000 Wonder why that is.

00:21:29.000 Well, Joe Biden is now coming out and he is coming straight against the entire MAGA movement.

00:21:36.000 In fact, he's saying that this is the most radical political movement in American history.

00:21:42.000 Joe Biden has come out and he has said that this is the MAGA movement is the most radical political movement we've ever seen.

00:21:50.000 More radical than the KKK, more radical than Southern Democrats, more radical than the Confederacy, play Cut 49.

00:21:59.000 What happens if you have a state changes the law saying that children who are LGBTQ can't be in classrooms with other children?

00:22:10.000 Is that legit under the way the decisions are written?

00:22:14.000 What are the next things that are going to be attacked?

00:22:17.000 Because this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history.

00:22:25.000 I wouldn't have had on my bingo card to have Joe Biden say the term MAGA anytime soon.

00:22:31.000 It's kind of just hearing him say MAGA is kind of, it's kind of validation, though, isn't it?

00:22:36.000 It's kind of like, first, oh, they don't exist.

00:22:39.000 They're just a couple people.

00:22:40.000 And now he says the MAGA crowd.

00:22:42.000 Yeah, more extreme than the pro-slavery Southern Democrats.

00:22:47.000 Like more extreme than John C. Calhoun?

00:22:49.000 Like, really?

00:22:50.000 Yeah, that's what he believes, actually.

00:22:52.000 And the reason is they have to justify their national security apparatus to come after people like us.

00:22:58.000 This is exactly why they got to keep this narrative alive because that's how they justify spying on moms and dads that show up to school boards across the country.

00:23:08.000 Now, what are his fears?

00:23:09.000 I mean, he says that somehow that kids are not going to be able to go to class together.

00:23:14.000 Now, mind you, he's not even talking about abortion.

00:23:16.000 He's moved on.

00:23:18.000 He's moved on to say, well, what's next?

00:23:20.000 So maybe reversing Roe versus Wade isn't that radical.

00:23:22.000 Oh, wait, Joe Biden actually voted to reverse Roe versus Wade in 1974.

00:23:27.000 He voted, actually, Roe versus Wade was federal overreach.

00:23:30.000 In fact, in 2012, Joe Biden said that life begins at conception, but he doesn't believe any of those things anymore, obviously.

00:23:37.000 Joe Biden is really afraid that the MAGA movement, which I just love the fact that he says MAGA, it's hilarious, is going to result in more parents taking over school boards, result in stronger borders.

00:23:50.000 The new right, which he just calls the MAGA movement, after six years, he finally calls it that, is an existential threat to the great reset.

00:23:58.000 Understand this: the great reset, which we've talked about at great length here on this program and with the wonderful Jack Hibbs at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, the Great Reset will happen with establishment Republicans.

00:24:09.000 The Great Reset gets puts in jeopardy with more people like Josh Hawley, more people like JD Vance.

00:24:15.000 The Great Reset needs compliant Republicans.

00:24:20.000 So, what does the New Right believe?

00:24:22.000 The New Right believes that there are two genders, that America is a wonderful country, that you actually don't have to overthink some of these issues, that the quote-unquote Washington, D.C. think tanks have actually overly complicated these issues, that a strong manufacturing base is important, no foreign adventurism, our borders matter more than foreign borders, that we actually want to win.

00:24:44.000 And here's the thing: winning is the best conversion.

00:24:47.000 Nothing turns people's minds like winning.

00:24:50.000 Nothing.

00:24:51.000 I have people calling me now that hated JD Vance weeks ago, and they're like, man, I'm all on that JD Vance train now.

00:24:57.000 I said, I wonder why.

00:25:00.000 It's funny.

00:25:00.000 Once you get more votes than somebody else, everyone's like, I'm a big fan of his.

00:25:04.000 He's terrific.

00:25:06.000 He's wonderful.

00:25:08.000 You want to convert people?

00:25:09.000 Get more votes than the other guy.

00:25:11.000 A new generation of leaders across all sorts of demographics.

00:25:17.000 Now rising up.

00:25:19.000 And I think it's an extension and a continuation of the Tea Party movement.

00:25:22.000 I'm going to connect that, though.

00:25:23.000 I'm going to connect the Tea Party movement with the New Right and the MAGA movement.

00:25:29.000 It's very similar.

00:25:30.000 It's not as based on the same things.

00:25:32.000 And I'm going to talk about in the final segment here.

00:25:34.000 I lived to the Tea Party movement.

00:25:35.000 I got my start in the Tea Party movement.

00:25:36.000 How the Tea Party movement got corrupted, not by the leaders of the Tea Party movement, but by the establishment Republicans that saw an opening and opportunity to really have their own interest actually be accomplished via some of the Tea Party messaging.

00:25:57.000 Look, over the years, you've probably tried difficult investments in stocks and mutual funds.

00:26:01.000 So you know they could be volatile and unpredictable.

00:26:04.000 But with inflation running at the highest rate of 40 years, do you want volatility and uncertainty?

00:26:08.000 Being able to sleep at night, knowing where your money actually is, it's worth its weight in gold.

00:26:13.000 And speaking of gold, if you've been jumping from one investment to the other, a gold IRA from Noble Gold might be perfect for you.

00:26:20.000 A reliable hedge against inflation just fell into our laps.

00:26:24.000 With gold, you shield yourself from gains and taxes.

00:26:27.000 You keep the real value of your wealth.

00:26:29.000 You'll own a global asset.

00:26:30.000 It's something tangible and protect your wealth against an economic crash.

00:26:34.000 I own gold and you should as well.

00:26:36.000 So what's not to like?

00:26:37.000 And this month, for every gold IRA above $20,000, you'll get an incredible three-ounce silver American virtue coin completely free as a thank you.

00:26:45.000 Call 877-646-5347 now to find out more at noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:26:51.000 That's noblegoldinvestments.com, noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:26:57.000 All right, so I want to tell you a little bit about Tea Party and the MAGA movement and the new right.

00:27:05.000 And so that's actually a good book to write, The New Right.

00:27:08.000 That'd actually be a great book.

00:27:10.000 I should probably say I'm writing a book on it just to get the claim to it, right?

00:27:13.000 It could come out in like February or March.

00:27:16.000 Should have sent out a tweet.

00:27:18.000 I'm writing a book called The New Right, just to kind of make sure it's reserved.

00:27:22.000 It's actually a good idea.

00:27:24.000 So, all right, I got my start in the Tea Party movement.

00:27:27.000 The Tea Party movement was awesome, and I believe everything I still believed back then.

00:27:30.000 The Tea Party movement was a reaction, though, to Barack Obama's massive federal overspending.

00:27:35.000 Now, mind you, at the time, Democrats understood the country was largely socially conservative.

00:27:39.000 At the time, Barack Obama believed marriage was one man, one woman.

00:27:42.000 At the time, Democrats were even afraid to be full-throated, full abortion advocates.

00:27:46.000 At the time, transgenderism was not a term people knew.

00:27:49.000 At the time, schools were not completely and totally corrupted.

00:27:52.000 There were little things there.

00:27:54.000 I was at a public school at the time.

00:27:56.000 It just wasn't political.

00:27:57.000 And so at the time, the disdain, the backlash was around massive federal overspending, tax too much, tax enough already, T, which was the kind of acronym, and was this kind of idea of too much debt, deficits, all that, right?

00:28:15.000 And so we're at this moment where in the Tea Party movement, where 2010, we take back the House of Representatives in an enormous fashion.

00:28:26.000 But the problem was John Boehner and many of the other establishment Republicans, they hijacked the energy of the MAGA movement, not the MAGA, the Tea Party movement.

00:28:36.000 Sorry, I'll get to MAGA in a second.

00:28:39.000 And they didn't really deliver a lot of their promises.

00:28:41.000 Some of the things we wanted was a balanced budget amendment.

00:28:43.000 My goodness, would that have been awesome?

00:28:46.000 We wanted fiscal sanity.

00:28:49.000 We were warning about how debts and deficits were going to drown our generation.

00:28:52.000 I got my start talking about this, actually.

00:28:54.000 That's where Turning Point USA got its start.

00:28:56.000 I still believe all those things.

00:28:57.000 But the war broadened, if you will.

00:28:59.000 The landscape expanded, where it wasn't just about debts and deficits.

00:29:04.000 And that's really where Donald Trump came.

00:29:06.000 The Tea Party movement started to lose steam in 2013, 14, and 15 a little bit, but immediately was brought back to life through Donald Trump.

00:29:14.000 All of the organizing of the Tea Party movement was brought back to life where Donald Trump wasn't just criticizing the overspending, which he did.

00:29:23.000 And honestly, he wasn't a totally fiscally balanced president.

00:29:28.000 He wasn't.

00:29:29.000 Fiscally, it was a little bit more deficit than I would personally like at all.

00:29:33.000 But he used a lot of that energy of the disgust of Washington, D.C. That's what I'm trying to say.

00:29:38.000 He properly tapped into the energy of the Tea Party.

00:29:41.000 So the Tea Party went into the MAGA movement.

00:29:44.000 Now, people say, Charlie, what about before the Tea Party movement?

00:29:47.000 I don't think there was a grassroots movement post-Reagan.

00:29:50.000 I think the grassroots movement, the only would be Ross Perot.

00:29:53.000 I think it was Reagan, Perot, and then we just kind of went into hiding.

00:29:56.000 Why?

00:29:56.000 Well, it's because things were actually really good in the late 90s and early 2000s.

00:29:59.000 It's like we didn't have a lot to protest.

00:30:01.000 The stock market was increasing.

00:30:04.000 Wages were going up.

00:30:05.000 We balanced our budget in the 90s.

00:30:07.000 Now, by good, I mean it was a sugar-high good.

00:30:10.000 It was an artificial good.

00:30:12.000 It was communism fell in the early 90s.

00:30:14.000 It wasn't built on substantial foundational growth.

00:30:18.000 It was the ego, the embedded growth obligation.

00:30:22.000 Every day is just going to be better than yesterday.

00:30:24.000 Every year will be better than last year.

00:30:25.000 Every decade will be better than last decade.

00:30:28.000 And so there really wasn't a need for a grassroots movement.

00:30:30.000 Grassroots movements come when things start to fall apart.

00:30:33.000 So Iraq happens in 2003, 2004, and there was a movement against that.

00:30:38.000 There was a movement against Bush, but it was very focused on Bush, focused on adventurous internationalist wars.

00:30:44.000 And finally, in 08, financial crisis happens.

00:30:47.000 You had a little bit of the Occupy Wall Street, and then obviously the Tea Party movement, but just general fiscal disdain.

00:30:51.000 But now we see the MAGA movement, and this is a great thing for Donald Trump.

00:30:55.000 And I told him this yesterday when I saw him.

00:30:57.000 I'm going to see him again tonight at Mar-a-Lago.

00:30:59.000 His movement will now live beyond him for a very long time.

00:31:03.000 And every political leader deep down wants that, right?

00:31:06.000 Every political leader wants it not to stop with them.

00:31:09.000 I mean, the Bushes, it stopped with them.

00:31:11.000 That's it.

00:31:11.000 They're done.

00:31:11.000 They don't have a legacy.

00:31:13.000 Reagan, he had coattails for a long time.

00:31:16.000 But Donald Trump has now successfully been able to anoint other people to say that this is the new right.

00:31:24.000 This is the new Republican Party.
