We also talk about CNN laying off hundreds of employees as their ratings continue to tank, and why this is a good thing.

00:01:23.000 Welcome back.

00:01:24.000 I'm Blake.

00:01:25.000 Charlie just had to step aside for one second.

00:01:27.000 In just a moment we'll be talking to Scott.

00:01:29.000 Is it Besant?

00:01:30.000 Besant?

00:01:30.000 He might be our next Treasury Secretary.

00:01:33.000 There's a lot of talk about that.

00:01:34.000 I don't believe it's confirmed yet.

00:01:36.000 And as Charlie said yesterday, nothing is confirmed until Donald Trump logs into his truth account and truths it to the masses.

00:01:45.000 So don't believe every rumor you hear.

00:01:47.000 Don't believe every wild claim you see on Twitter.

00:01:51.000 But we've had him on this program.

00:01:53.000 If he is the choice, I believe we believe there's a lot to like about that.

00:01:58.000 While we wait, we have some other very positive news.

00:02:02.000 According to the Daily Mail, CNN, quote, will axe top stars in layoffs that will see hundreds fired as ratings continue to tank.

00:02:13.000 Now, not everyone knows this, but my personal license plate here in the state of Arizona is CNN Sucks.

00:02:20.000 I've had that since 2019, so nobody will be more excited than me for that to come to pass.

00:02:26.000 And I don't think it's terribly surprising.

00:02:29.000 CNN used to be the...

00:02:32.000 They had this position maybe 20 years ago as they were the centrist American media outlet.

00:02:36.000 So if you weren't...

00:02:37.000 Republicans would watch Fox News.

00:02:40.000 MSNBC wasn't super liberal yet, but by the Obama years they were going that way.

00:02:44.000 And then CNN was left leaning a bit but in the middle.

00:02:47.000 But even more so than MSNBC, they really went Trump deranged.

00:02:52.000 I used to work at Fox.

00:02:54.000 We would have CNN on because we would have the other networks on.

00:02:57.000 And they always had the most deranged, the most demented chyrons, those text displays at the bottom. 0.61

00:03:04.000 It would just be like, Trump refuses to admit lies, and wild things like that.

00:03:10.000 They went all in on being the resistance channel, the anti-Trump channel.

00:03:14.000 They weren't frenzied about it, and they've been that way for a decade.

00:03:17.000 And what do you have at this point?

00:03:19.000 They're kind of totally reliant on Trump, yet also Trump is winning.

00:03:23.000 They have no distinct brand other than that.

00:03:26.000 And you just see a lot of people stepping away from them and stepping away from the media generally.

00:03:31.000 Another story that we commented on the other day that went viral, Chris Wallace, formerly of Fox, now it's CNN.

00:03:38.000 He is reportedly stepping away to try to, at 77, start some sort of new independent media outlet.

00:03:45.000 Everyone is stepping away from the legacy news media.

00:03:49.000 They're creating substacks.

00:03:50.000 They're creating podcasts.

00:03:52.000 They're creating...

00:03:53.000 Other independent media ventures.

00:03:56.000 And increasingly, people don't need the media to be mediated through media mediated through the like a handful of TV networks that have this huge power to censor and dictate what they see.

00:04:09.000 We can see that with Tucker Carlson, of course.

00:04:11.000 He lost his show, stepped away, created his own thing.

00:04:14.000 He's certainly as popular as ever.

00:04:16.000 He's making as much money as ever and remains to be seen.

00:04:19.000 But he may be able to have just as much impact.

00:04:22.000 As ever.

00:04:22.000 And that's going to be, I think, the biggest story of the 2024 election.

00:04:27.000 And that's clearly what even the mainstream media is taking away from it.

00:04:31.000 They're seeing it as this is the election where the alternative media stopped being alternative.

00:04:37.000 That Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk, Daily Wire, Substack.

00:04:43.000 These sorts of outlets are strong enough and can reach enough people to reshape the zeitgeist to shape who actually wins a presidential election.

00:04:53.000 You don't need to pander to a host who's on the evening news, who's on CNN, or even who's on Fox News in order to reach the audience you need to win a presidential election.

00:05:06.000 and one of the few things they had holding in reserve was they could at least maybe limit the financial success of these a little bit because they haven't had the same access to mainstream advertising dollars and what I think will be very interesting is if we can see the shift towards you know a capitulation on this front if we see these advertising blockades and advertising boycotts go away if you start seeing Toyota or Ford or you know Budweiser,

00:05:35.000 for that matter, start advertising on Joe Rogan, on the Daily Wire, on mainstream but alternative media outlets like this.

00:05:44.000 It's all over for the legacy media.

00:05:46.000 They lose their last asset.

00:05:48.000 Alright, the team is telling me to play 361, so let's play that right now.

00:05:55.000 I think there are a lot of families out there who don't believe boys should play girls sports.

00:06:01.000 They're not boys.

00:06:02.000 I'm not going to listen to transphobia at this table.

00:06:04.000 I am not going to listen to you call a trans girl a boy.

00:06:08.000 Are you going to allow me to finish my explanation?

00:06:10.000 When you use a word that's a slur, I'm going to interrupt.

00:06:12.000 That's not how it is.

00:06:14.000 They're not boys.

00:06:15.000 They're not boys.

00:06:16.000 They're not playing girls softball.

00:06:17.000 I'm not going to sit there and listen to that.

00:06:20.000 Let's try to talk about this in a way that is respectful.

00:06:24.000 Okay, so let me rephrase this since I'm being targeted here.

00:06:27.000 Regular people interpret it.

00:06:29.000 That's not regular people.

00:06:30.000 That's not regular people.

00:06:31.000 There's no consensus that these are actually boys.

00:06:34.000 This whole thing about trans girls is a canard. 1.00

00:06:37.000 We're talking about a tiny, tiny sliver of the population.

00:06:40.000 That may be the case, but my point in terms of health care from thousands of people...

00:06:46.000 It's pretty funny stuff.

00:06:47.000 It really captures several different things about why the media has gone into decline.

00:06:52.000 First of all, it's this gigantic panel.

00:06:55.000 You get these bigger and bigger panels on the major cable channels.

00:06:59.000 So if you want to have any sort of in-depth discussion on anything, you increasingly need to go to an alternative outlet.

00:07:05.000 One of the things that stands out about Rogan, Rogan doesn't need an eight person panel to talk about things.

00:07:10.000 He'll have on RFK or he'll have on Donald Trump.

00:07:13.000 He'll have on Donald Trump and talk to him for three hours.

00:07:17.000 Who else is able to do that?

00:07:18.000 That's the strength of the new media.

00:07:19.000 Welcome back, Charlie.

00:07:20.000 Yeah, sorry.

00:07:21.000 Had some technical snafu here.

00:07:23.000 I think we have a really good, important guest here.

00:07:25.000 Scott, sorry to keep you waiting.

00:07:27.000 Technical challenges and stuff we had to handle here.

00:07:29.000 Scott Bessent, who I'm told very well might be the new Treasury Secretary, but we'll see about that.

00:07:36.000 Scott, welcome to the program.

00:07:37.000 What are we seeing so far in the markets?

00:07:40.000 It looks as if this major psychological boost since Donald Trump won the election a week ago.

00:07:45.000 Is this foreshadowing an economic renaissance that is around the corner?

00:07:50.000 Charlie, I think good to see him.

00:07:52.000 It was good to see you out in Milwaukee.

00:07:56.000 I think we've had a rally for most of the year because the markets were sensing that Donald Trump was going to win.

00:08:03.000 And then last week, when he won, the market was up 4.7%, the S&P, for the week.

00:08:11.000 The small cap index, Russell, the ETF, had the biggest inflows in 17 years.

00:08:19.000 The bank stocks are doing well.

00:08:21.000 And it's a I've called it, we have the potential for the golden age here, because if we unleash U.S. energy independence, energy dominance, I think we have the potential here to do a massive amount of deregulation, which really didn't get enough airplay.

00:08:45.000 This administrative state is just, has been holding down U.S. business.

00:08:50.000 And then I think, Charlie, what Fascinating and very hopeful for me is in Trump 1.0, everyone did well.

00:09:00.000 Working people did well, the stock market did well, big companies did well, small companies did well.

00:09:06.000 Under Harris-Biden, it was a bifurcated economy and only the rich and big did well.

00:09:13.000 So, you know, we had this MAG7, you know, the seven big tech stocks in the stock market, and then the top 10 or 20% of Americans have never done so well.

00:09:22.000 And the bottom 50%, they got killed economically and they came out and Revolted. 0.76

00:09:29.000 And now I think we could see real wage gains.

00:09:33.000 We could see the end of this affordability crisis.

00:09:36.000 And I'm anticipating either this month or next month, just like we did in 2016 when Donald Trump won, I think we're going to see Main Street make a comeback.

00:09:46.000 And I think we are going to see a big boost in small business competence.

00:09:52.000 I totally agree.

00:09:53.000 And Scott, you know, we're only about a minute in this segment here, but what does Congress need to do to make sure that this Trump economic boom materializes?

00:10:03.000 Yeah, we got to come out of the blocks, big ball, first hundred days, say that we're going to get the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act either extended or made permanent.

00:10:15.000 And we got to start cutting deregulations in finance, Today I want to talk to you about a very important issue.

00:10:32.000 If you've recently engaged any sort of restricted diet or have taken medications to lose weight for the summer, be careful.

00:10:38.000 There's a big chance that you create a nutrient deficiency that not only can harm your overall health, as it could jeopardize your weight loss goals.

00:10:46.000 You know, 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium.

00:10:49.000 Magnesium is a crucial mineral that is involved in over 600 biological reactions and offers amazing benefits for sleep, stress management, and hormone balance, all key supporters for keeping your weight on healthy levels.

00:11:00.000 And if you're still taking medications, you may be dealing with uncomfortable side effects like lack of sleep, digestive issues, or irritability that can also compromise your willingness to a long-term commitment to your goals.

00:11:11.000 With or without medications, it is critical to set healthy habits to help you maintain your weight over time, making sure you have all the magnesium you need to optimally function is one of them.

00:11:59.000 So, Scott, a looming issue that I think we have to figure out, we have to, is our exploding national debt and our deficit.

00:12:08.000 Unfortunately, D.C. tends not to care very much about the spending practices.

00:12:12.000 What can be done and should be done and how great of a threat is this to our future economic prosperity?

00:12:17.000 Look, Charlie, it's one of the reasons, you know, other than the inspiration of President Trump and my admiration for him, the other reason that I've become so involved here is that I think that this was for all the marbles. 0.55

00:12:35.000 2024 was our last chance to begin implementing growth positive policies, get the spin We're going to become a European-style social democracy where basically you just live to service the debt.

00:12:51.000 There's no growth.

00:12:53.000 We're seeing that in Europe right now.

00:12:58.000 Charlie, I am quite optimistic on two fronts.

00:13:02.000 One, that Donald Trump, with the must cost-cutting commission, if you think about a very simple formula, G equals S minus T. So, government equals spending minus taxes.

00:13:19.000 Everyone always solves the government problem by more taxes, and Donald Trump wants to change the spending problem.

00:13:28.000 Because I tell you, this Biden administration, they have just spent, spent, spent.

00:13:33.000 They have blown out the spending, and we better get it under control.

00:13:38.000 And more importantly, Like in the UK, they call it value for money.

00:13:42.000 I think the American people should not come to expect that the government's mediocre.

00:13:47.000 I think the government can be at the forefront of things.

00:13:53.000 So that expectation.

00:13:56.000 And then the thing that will solve the deficit problems, debt and deficit problems more than anything else, is unshackling the US economy and changing the growth trajectory.

00:14:10.000 If we can get real growth, with low real inflationary growth over 3%, that will stabilize the debt and we will begin paying it down in a few years.

00:14:23.000 Now, what was very...

00:14:25.000 I was still kind of buzzing.

00:14:29.000 For a day or two afterwards, on Sunday, I had conversations with two of the greatest venture capitalist household names in America, and they are so constructive that the U.S. could enter this new golden age, you know, powered by—they basically said,

00:14:46.000 Scott, if Team Trump can get the economic framework and the regulatory framework right, That the technological innovation that we are about to see accelerate through AI and other industries could lead to a new golden age in the US. And they said, look, you and Larry Kudlow are the highest that we could have 3% growth.

00:15:10.000 We think it could be 5% growth.

00:15:13.000 That is extraordinary.

00:15:15.000 And in some ways, Scott, that unintentionally addresses the debt issue, right?

00:15:20.000 I mean, meaning if you are outpacing the rate of which you are borrowing and inflation, it calms things down a little bit, right?

00:15:28.000 So if you have really high growth, not to make an excuse for inflation, but if you have a 2.5% inflation rate and a 5% growth rate, that can buy you a lot of economic leeway.

00:15:41.000 Is that correct?

00:15:42.000 Yeah, that's 100%.

00:15:43.000 You know, the Biden administration did the opposite.

00:15:46.000 They had 2% growth and then 9% inflation.

00:15:50.000 So that gives you a lot of runway. 0.77

00:15:53.000 And so we stabilize the debt.

00:15:55.000 We...

00:15:57.000 Let's grow our way out of this, because I will tell you, my biggest worry last week, I had been predicting that we'd have this big Trump stock market rally, but I was worried that the long end of the bond market, which is where everything is financed from Factories to housing would blow out, and it went up a lot on Wednesday.

00:16:22.000 And by the end of the week, because of the talk of cost cutting and fiscal prudence, The 10-year bond rate was lower on Friday than where it was on Monday, and it's even lower today.

00:16:40.000 So that tells me the bond market is sniffing out the idea that we can have low inflationary growth and get ourselves out of this mess.

00:16:51.000 Now, it's not going to be easy, but I am very optimistic after what happened on Tuesday night.

00:16:59.000 Scott, I'm going to be advocating in any way I possibly can.

00:17:02.000 I don't know what the plans are over at Mar-a-Lago, but I think you'd be a great Treasury Secretary.

00:17:07.000 So keep up the great work and thank you for your contribution to this nation.

00:17:10.000 Good.

00:17:10.000 And Charlie, thanks for all you and your team did during the election.

00:17:15.000 It was President Trump in the center and then groups of patriots around him like you getting the job done.

00:17:22.000 It caused a red wave.

00:17:24.000 It means a lot.

00:17:25.000 Thank you, Scott.

00:17:27.000 Let me ask a question.

00:17:29.000 Do you think our country is going in the right direction?

00:17:30.000 Or does it feel like everything is falling apart?

00:17:33.000 If you're feeling alarmed, you're not alone.

00:17:35.000 In fact, Americans from all walks of life have taken action to prepare for whatever is coming next.

00:17:40.000 And that starts with an emergency food supply.

00:17:42.000 Restoring food in your home is the right thing to do because we're living in wild times, which explains why so many people are preparing.

00:17:49.000 Right now, you can get ready to with a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriotSupply.

00:17:55.000 It comes with delicious foods like creamy storgonoff, honey wheat bread, and mushroom rice pilaf.

00:18:02.000 This entire kit offers over 2,000 calories every day.

00:18:06.000 This kit lasts up to 25 years.

00:18:08.000 Who knows what our country will look like then?

00:18:10.000 But when the day comes, you'll be ready.

00:18:12.000 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:18:13.000 That is MyPatriotSupply.com to order your three-month emergency food kit.

00:18:18.000 You are nine meals away from anarchy.

00:18:20.000 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:18:25.000 We now have joining us Coach Tommy Tuberville, United States Senator from the great state of Alabama.

00:18:30.000 Coach, welcome to the program.

00:18:32.000 All eyes have been on the Senate this weekend, Coach.

00:18:34.000 As you probably know, there's a lot happening there.

00:18:38.000 You have a new op-ed.

00:18:39.000 America needs an America first Republican majority leader.

00:18:45.000 Coach, walk us through it.

00:18:47.000 Well, first of all, Charlie, let me thank you for having me on, and also what you did for President Trump in our country during the election.

00:18:54.000 Your forums that you did on campuses, I watched most of them, were absolutely amazing, and you turned a lot of people's heads, so thank you for what you did there.

00:19:04.000 It is...

00:19:04.000 Thank you.

00:19:07.000 You know, President Trump, he had a mandate from this country to turn this place around.

00:19:14.000 I mean, Charlie, you know as well as anybody, we're looking down the barrel of a gun here four more years of this nonsense.

00:19:21.000 We're going to have huge problems.

00:19:22.000 We already have problems, and we've got to dig out of this hole that the Democrats have gotten us in.

00:19:27.000 But we can't do it with people that are half on the boat and half not on the boat. 0.99

00:19:32.000 And so...

00:19:34.000 We're pushing hard to get the right person in place here in the Senate that's going to lead our Senate, that's going to get us going in the right direction, that can communicate with President Trump.

00:19:44.000 Now, I will say this.

00:19:45.000 We have a new demographic in our conference now.

00:19:49.000 If you go back and look at the election, President Trump got three-fourths of the Native American vote.

00:19:55.000 He got 55% of the males, 45% of females.

00:20:00.000 Almost 60% of the Asians, 45% of the Hispanics.

00:20:04.000 We have so many more new people that voted for President Trump and our party that we've got to make sure that they stay on board with us, not just for a month, but for years and years to come.

00:20:17.000 So we've got to have somebody in Senate leadership that understands all that, that can get us all on the same wavelength, that helped President Trump save this country.

00:20:26.000 Yeah, so let's just ask the question here.

00:20:29.000 What is the hang-up, Coach?

00:20:31.000 Why is it that your colleagues are ignoring the mandate of the voters?

00:20:35.000 Look, you've got to get along with all 53 of your friends.

00:20:38.000 But why is it that there seems to be this obstinance, this reluctance to listen to the mandate that the voters just loudly sent to all of you?

00:20:51.000 Well, one of the things I'll tell you is tradition, a tradition of possibly somebody that's been second in charge, that takes the job when somebody steps down.

00:21:01.000 I was a football coach for a long time.

00:21:03.000 When I went into a new job, I didn't keep anybody because I wanted people around me that's going to be on the same team as me.

00:21:11.000 President Trump just took a new job.

00:21:13.000 He had it for four years and was off for four years.

00:21:16.000 Now he's taking it again.

00:21:17.000 He needs people on his side.

00:21:20.000 Up here, and again, I don't know who's going to win this vote.

00:21:24.000 It's going to be about this time tomorrow.

00:21:26.000 But it's going to be close.

00:21:27.000 And I put my voice in for Rick Scott.

00:21:32.000 He runs hand in hand with President Trump.

00:21:35.000 He's a good communicator.

00:21:37.000 But the big thing is, he's not a career politician.

00:21:39.000 He's been in politics for a little while because of being governor in Florida.

00:21:43.000 He was a businessman.

00:21:45.000 He understands the business world.

00:21:47.000 And that's what our country is.

00:21:48.000 It is a business.

00:21:49.000 We don't need to treat it like a political adversary.

00:21:53.000 So it's tough to break old habits.

00:21:58.000 We're all friends up here.

00:22:00.000 Fifty-three of us, we work together, we laugh together, we've cried together for the last four years.

00:22:05.000 And it's hard to overcome sometimes friendships, but friendship can't be in play here.

00:22:10.000 This has got to be the best person that can get our team together to play the best during the week against the Democrats because they're going to come on strong.

00:22:18.000 They're not going to give up.

00:22:20.000 It is going to be very hard, but also work hand in hand with President Trump and somebody that has supported him from day one.

00:22:27.000 Yeah.

00:22:27.000 So why is the vote secret, Senator?

00:22:29.000 What's that?

00:22:30.000 Coach, what is this all about?

00:22:32.000 Well, that comes from leadership.

00:22:34.000 You know, whoever, and I've talked to all three of them, whoever is leader this time, the next time we have a vote is not going to be secret ballot.

00:22:41.000 People need to know where their senators stand. 1.00

00:22:44.000 There's no doubt about that.

00:22:45.000 And I think it's easier probably to vote for somebody when it's a secret ballot and try to hide it.

00:22:51.000 I don't think there's going to be any hiding this time, even though it is a secret ballot.

00:22:54.000 I think people are going to have to come out and say, Who they voted for and why.

00:22:59.000 Because the American people, again, a mandate last week was that, hey, we have got to turn our country around and we don't need any of the same rhetoric, not just from the White House, but also from Congress and the Senate.

00:23:10.000 We can't do that.

00:23:11.000 And so I totally agree with you.

00:23:14.000 It shouldn't be that situation.

00:23:16.000 But again, this comes from the leadership room and it's been done that way for the last few times.

00:23:22.000 Hopefully we'll get that changed.

00:23:23.000 But you'll know who people vote for.

00:23:25.000 I really hope so.

00:23:26.000 I mean, just when you guys were selecting team captains at your championship football programs, did you guys do secret ballot?

00:23:33.000 No, no.

00:23:34.000 We wanted everybody to know who, you know, to man up, you know, to vote their opinion, to vote their voice.

00:23:42.000 Up here, you know, every vote we have on the floor, everybody knows how you vote for any kind of bill or any kind of confirmation.

00:23:50.000 Should be the same thing when we vote for leaders in our conference.

00:23:53.000 It's just, it is breathtaking to me.

00:23:56.000 And so let's walk through then, what does this look like tomorrow?

00:23:59.000 President Trump is coming to town tomorrow.

00:24:02.000 It's also your Senate election, right?

00:24:05.000 So will that have, will President Trump, and President Trump is being very smart.

00:24:09.000 He's staying out, but he's demanding his terms on recess appointments because he's got to work with whoever gets it.

00:24:14.000 He has to.

00:24:15.000 He can't alienate, and the Senate is a difficult thicket to get through.

00:24:19.000 But will his presence in D.C. tomorrow potentially change the outcome?

00:24:24.000 I think the president's more of J.D. Vance will have that.

00:24:27.000 President Trump's kind of hands-off.

00:24:29.000 And he probably should be.

00:24:31.000 People ask me, why did President Trump step in on this?

00:24:33.000 Well, you know, we're a different entity.

00:24:35.000 And we need people to understand, you know, President Trump, you know, was blamed.

00:24:40.000 Now, we'll go back to this.

00:24:41.000 He was blamed for...

00:24:44.000 The border bill that did not pass when the Democrats put it on the floor about a year ago.

00:24:49.000 President Trump never called me, never called anybody, never said anything about the bill.

00:24:53.000 But of course, the Democrats are going to blame anybody they possibly can when something doesn't work.

00:24:58.000 I think J.D. Vance, obviously, is going to be the president of the Senate.

00:25:02.000 He's going to have a huge hand in the leadership of what we do with the leader along to President Trump.

00:25:08.000 So I feel a lot better.

00:25:10.000 You know, J.D. will be here.

00:25:11.000 He will vote.

00:25:12.000 On this, on the leader, because he's still a senator until January the 20th of next year.

00:25:19.000 And so he'll have some observations.

00:25:22.000 And I hope he gets up tonight.

00:25:24.000 Now, we have a meeting tonight at 6 o'clock with all three.

00:25:27.000 Of the candidates, along with every senator, and I would hope JD would get up and give his opinion about what we're looking for, how he thinks we need to go, because he's been a great spokesman for the Senate, even though he never wasn't a senator, but for two years, he had a great influence on all of us.

00:25:47.000 So, Coach, let's talk about then recess appointments and getting this done.

00:25:52.000 What can we do to make sure that President Trump does not have a repeat of his first administration where it took two to three years to get his cabinet filled?

00:26:00.000 Yeah, we've got to work longer.

00:26:02.000 We can't go home every weekend.

00:26:04.000 We've got to work more than three days a week.

00:26:06.000 I love that answer.

00:26:08.000 And we've got to spend time.

00:26:11.000 You know, this has got to be a job where most people come on Mondays and go home on Thursdays.

00:26:16.000 We're not going to have that luxury.

00:26:18.000 President Trump's going to have about two years to really get things going the way he needs to get going.

00:26:23.000 Again, this is our last chance.

00:26:25.000 And if we blow this chance, I don't see the American people coming back and voting for somebody that blew that chance.

00:26:33.000 And so, you know, the recess appointments, there's a lot to that.

00:26:38.000 As I had, being a coach, Charlie, I had to be...

00:26:44.000 We're brought to speed on this.

00:26:46.000 Recess appointment is going to be hard to do, and I'll tell you why.

00:26:49.000 You have to be in recess more than 10 days before you can do that.

00:26:53.000 Hope to God we're not in a recess more than 10 days up here for the next four years, because if we are, we're not doing our job.

00:27:01.000 So I think now that we've got 53 votes, it only takes 51 votes to confirm.

00:27:08.000 I think we can knock them out We just have to work.

00:27:10.000 We have to put the time in.

00:27:13.000 It's just that simple.

00:27:14.000 I know President Trump is going to work 18, 20 hours a day.

00:27:19.000 He doesn't sleep.

00:27:19.000 He used to call me in the morning, two or three in the morning.

00:27:21.000 Coach, what are you doing?

00:27:22.000 I said, well, I'm sleeping.

00:27:23.000 And he'd still be up working.

00:27:26.000 And so we're going to get every ounce of work we possibly can get out of President Trump.

00:27:31.000 We need to do the same thing in the Senate and the House.

00:27:35.000 And the issue at hand for a lot of our audience is we can't allow this historic mandate to just to fall.

00:27:45.000 I mean, to use an analogy you love, be fumbled on the one yard line.

00:27:48.000 I mean, the American people.

00:27:50.000 Did you guys ever have that, by the way, in practice or a game where someone had a clear shot touchdown and they dropped the ball before they went in the end zone?

00:27:56.000 It happens more often.

00:27:57.000 Did you ever see that happen as a coach?

00:27:59.000 I'm sure you're familiar with the play.

00:28:02.000 You're talking about intentionally dropping it and celebrating?

00:28:05.000 No, they think that, yes, exactly, exactly.

00:28:08.000 You know, I'd have probably got fired that night if one of my players had done that, you know, without protecting the ball so they clearly threw the end zone.

00:28:17.000 But I've seen it.

00:28:18.000 And, you know, these kids are, again, you're talking about 18, 19, 20-year-old kids that do some crazy things sometimes.

00:28:26.000 But it never happened to me, but I have seen it quite often.

00:28:29.000 Coach, thank you for your time.

00:28:30.000 We appreciate your patriotism and commitment to this nation.

00:28:35.000 And I just want to say good luck tomorrow.

00:28:38.000 And I have a feeling that if Mr.

00:28:42.000 Foon doesn't get the necessary majority, there might be a deal to get cut between Mr.

00:28:47.000 Scott and some of the other stragglers.

00:28:49.000 So get creative.

00:28:51.000 Thank you, Coach.

00:28:52.000 Thank you.

00:28:52.000 Thank you for what you do, Charlie.

00:28:53.000 God bless you.

00:29:59.000 We're getting a lot of emails worrying about picks and choices.

00:30:04.000 There's going to be some...

00:30:05.000 Look, you win some and you lose some in transition, okay?

00:30:07.000 That's the way this works.

00:30:09.000 However, the direction of where we're headed is extraordinary.

00:30:13.000 Okay, so Andrew is telling me the CNN story is juicy.

00:30:16.000 This is very important.

00:30:17.000 Got it.

00:30:18.000 CNN will axe top stars in layoffs that'll see hundreds fired as ratings continue to tank, Daily Mail says.

00:30:25.000 The question is, will Dylan Mulvaney be fired?

00:30:28.000 That is an open question.

00:30:30.000 It's going to be a toughie.

00:30:32.000 Anderson Cooper.

00:30:33.000 By the way, that's why Chris Wallace left.

00:30:34.000 Chris Wallace didn't leave to go start a streaming service.

00:30:36.000 Chris Wallace got a call saying, you're fired.

00:30:40.000 And now he's going to go do a...

00:30:42.000 He's going to go start Netflix.

00:30:43.000 Chris Wallace, Netflix.

00:30:45.000 That's going to work great.

00:30:46.000 But let me tell you what the opposite is happening here on the Charlie Kirk Show and Real America's Voice.

00:30:49.000 We are hiring.

00:30:51.000 We're doing better than ever.

00:30:52.000 Praise God.

00:30:53.000 And I hope that continues.

00:30:55.000 CNN, no one wants to watch that.

00:30:57.000 Look at this.

00:30:57.000 This is one of the most extraordinary pieces of tape.

00:30:59.000 You want to know why CNN is collapsing?

00:31:02.000 Here is Shermichael Singleton, great man, great American patriot, and some rabbi.

00:31:08.000 Just an extraordinary, extraordinary piece of tape.

00:31:12.000 This is the thought police, speech police embodied. 0.88

00:31:17.000 They're a bunch of scolds.

00:31:19.000 This is CNN at its best. 0.77

00:31:20.000 Play cut 362.

00:31:21.000 My point in terms of its effectiveness.

00:31:24.000 Regular people with children look at these things and they say, you know what?

00:31:28.000 This is a bit too far.

00:31:29.000 I do not agree with this.

00:31:30.000 I don't like this.

00:31:31.000 I think Democrats are going way too much to the left on social issues.

00:31:35.000 They're uncomfortable with it.

00:31:36.000 A lot of people believe that.

00:31:38.000 A lot of families believe that.

00:31:39.000 You may disagree with that reality, but that's why Republicans kept running those ads over and over and over again because they saw the metrics suggested that they were working.

00:31:47.000 And lying in those ads over and over again and using rhetoric like you just used, saying this is boys playing girls sports.

00:31:53.000 First of all, we're talking about five people in the entire country.

00:31:56.000 We're talking about trans girls playing, being allowed to play with the people who are in their gender.

00:32:02.000 And if you don't believe the truth, you don't have to listen to me.

00:32:04.000 Listen to the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association.

00:32:09.000 That is why CNN is collapsing.

00:32:11.000 And who is that guy, by the way? 0.99

00:32:14.000 This lunatic. 0.93

00:32:16.000 It's a typical CNN guest where he's not even allowed to make a point. 0.97

00:32:20.000 Yes, let's be very clear.

00:32:21.000 It is men and female sports, okay?

00:32:23.000 There is no such thing as a trans man or a trans woman.

00:32:25.000 It doesn't exist, okay?

00:32:27.000 You are as you are born, period.

00:32:28.000 What is on your birth certificate?

00:32:30.000 It doesn't matter how many drugs you have.

00:32:31.000 It doesn't matter what you think you are.

00:32:32.000 If you play dress-up, if you put on a bunch of makeup, camouflage, it doesn't make you that.

00:32:36.000 Play cut 361.

00:32:38.000 I think there are a lot of families out there who don't believe boys should play girls sports.

00:32:44.000 They're not boys.

00:32:45.000 I'm not going to listen to transphobia at this table.

00:32:47.000 I am not going to listen to you call a trans girl a boy.

00:32:51.000 Are you going to allow me to finish my explanation?

00:32:52.000 When you use a word that's a slur, I'm going to interrupt.

00:32:55.000 That's not how it is.

00:32:56.000 They're not boys.

00:32:58.000 They're not boys.

00:32:59.000 They're not playing girls softball.

00:33:00.000 I'm not going to sit there and listen to that.

00:33:03.000 Let's try to talk about this in a way that is respectful.

00:33:06.000 Okay, so let me rephrase this since I'm being targeted here.

00:33:10.000 Regular people interpret it.

00:33:11.000 That's not regular people.

00:33:13.000 That's not regular people.

00:33:14.000 There's no consensus that these are actually boys.

00:33:17.000 This whole thing about trans girls is a canard. 1.00

00:33:20.000 We're talking about a tiny, tiny sliver of the population.

00:33:22.000 That may be the case, but my point in terms of health care for thousands of people.

00:33:27.000 It's not happening, and it's good that it is.

00:33:30.000 The Michael Anton Celebration Parallax.

00:33:33.000 It's not happening that boys are in girls' sports, but it's good that it is, actually.

00:33:37.000 Left-wing streamers are experiencing an algorithmic desubscription spiral, and I'm here for it.
