00:01:33.000 Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:38.000 Feels good to win one.
00:01:40.000 Look, it's not the championship, but it's also not a preseason game.
00:01:43.000 Let's be honest.
00:01:44.000 This was a regular season game.
00:01:45.000 This was like winning on Monday night football.
00:01:47.000 Big game, lots of eyeballs.
00:01:50.000 And, you know, I wanted to send out a pretty declarative victory tweet last night.
00:01:54.000 Andrew is right.
00:01:56.000 He said, look, it's a primary, but I don't think it's the equivalent of a preseason game where the games mean nothing.
00:02:02.000 It's a regular season prime time game.
00:02:04.000 It was a big deal what happened last night.
00:02:06.000 Thank you guys that were watching.
00:02:06.000 We were covering it.
00:02:08.000 Thank you to Real America's Voice for taking our stream.
00:02:10.000 We did seven hours yesterday, seven hours of broadcasting, and we have another three coming up.
00:02:16.000 We're going to be doing basically event.
00:02:17.000 It's going to be 10 hours of broadcasting in 24 hours.
00:02:21.000 And I got more energy today than I've had in quite some time because it feels good to be back in the game.
00:02:26.000 No more speculation, no more guessing.
00:02:29.000 And that is always been the argument by the DeSantis people.
00:02:32.000 And I really like DeSantis.
00:02:34.000 He's done a great job in Florida.
00:02:35.000 He's America's greatest governor.
00:02:36.000 And right on queue, I'm about to get 100 angry emails.
00:02:39.000 You ready, Blake, Ryan?
00:02:41.000 Right now, as soon as I compliment DeSantis, people get very, very angry.
00:02:44.000 But it's true.
00:02:45.000 He's been a terrible candidate.
00:02:46.000 He should have dropped out.
00:02:48.000 He shouldn't have spent that $125 million.
00:02:50.000 We're going to go through all of that.
00:02:51.000 But the DeSantis people always told us: hey, these polls mean nothing.
00:02:55.000 Just wait till the Iowa results.
00:02:58.000 Wait for the Iowa results.
00:02:59.000 It's all in on Iowa.
00:03:01.000 In fact, Eric Erickson, who allegedly hosts the radio program, says, Oh, take it to the bank in early December.
00:03:07.000 Ron DeSantis is going to win Iowa.
00:03:09.000 All these tweets that they were sending.
00:03:11.000 And, you know, we kind of kept our cool.
00:03:13.000 We said, yeah, we think Trump's going to win Iowa, but you never know.
00:03:15.000 Iowa's tricky.
00:03:16.000 And we were pretty, we were pretty even here on this program.
00:03:21.000 We didn't overpredict.
00:03:22.000 We said, hey, if Trump wins by 10, it will still be a win.
00:03:25.000 Donald Trump won by 30 points last night.
00:03:30.000 He eclipsed the 50% mark.
00:03:34.000 And in a caucus that is extraordinary, everybody, Iowa is notorious for close races and for it hard to poll in frigid temperatures.
00:03:45.000 This is a massive and triumphant victory for the movement that refuses to die.
00:03:53.000 It is the movement that has had multiple assassination attempts against us.
00:03:59.000 There have been multiple attempts to take us out.
00:04:03.000 Whether it be the reaction of January 6th, taking us out on social media, think about how low we were.
00:04:12.000 I want to go back.
00:04:14.000 Today is January 16th, 2024.
00:04:18.000 I want you to think about what was happening on January 16th, 2021.
00:04:26.000 January 16, 2021, the FBI had announced a massive dragnet operation to go after everybody remotely connected to January 6th.
00:04:37.000 The second impeachment of Donald Trump had already passed the House and it was sending it to the Senate.
00:04:44.000 Donald Trump's approval ratings were collapsing.
00:04:46.000 Voter registration numbers for Republicans were going south.
00:04:50.000 Donald Trump was kicked off of Twitter.
00:04:53.000 Parlor was eliminated.
00:04:55.000 We had almost no place to communicate on social media.
00:04:58.000 We were still doing our show, our broadcaster.
00:05:02.000 And we were seeing all of a sudden, we weren't getting YouTube numbers.
00:05:06.000 We weren't getting Facebook numbers.
00:05:07.000 It was the great suppression.
00:05:10.000 In fact, John Brennan and many others were saying that we have to expand our security state against conservatives, libertarians, patriots.
00:05:20.000 It was a call to action to finish them.
00:05:24.000 Joe Biden becomes president on the 20th of January, 2021.
00:05:30.000 And instead of trying to unify the country, it was a declaration of war.
00:05:34.000 And boy, did they get to work.
00:05:36.000 They called moms and dads domestic terrorists and put them on special watch lists.
00:05:41.000 They infiltrated political groups.
00:05:43.000 They used and abused the FISA surveillance.
00:05:46.000 Donald Trump was put on the equivalent of ALBA, exile like Napoleon to an island, to Mar-a-Lago.
00:05:56.000 Politicians didn't go to go visit Donald Trump very much in January, February, or March of 2021.
00:06:03.000 He was quote unquote toxic.
00:06:05.000 Now, I did.
00:06:06.000 I can actually go dig up the picture.
00:06:08.000 I went and hung out with him in February 2000.
00:06:10.000 I didn't care.
00:06:11.000 I was like, whatever.
00:06:12.000 February of 2021, I went down to Mar-a-Lago.
00:06:13.000 We had a great time.
00:06:15.000 But he was considered to be damaged goods.
00:06:19.000 Post-January 6th, no one wanted to get near Donald Trump, that he was going to bring down all the Republicans, that he was just going to be a terrible weight.
00:06:30.000 He's just unspeakably heavy.
00:06:32.000 I want you to think about how much despair there was in the movement.
00:06:39.000 But credit to all of you.
00:06:40.000 And honestly, credit to this program, credit to Turning Point Action, credit to Turning Point USA, because we just showed up and we went to work every single day.
00:06:48.000 Went to work every single day.
00:06:49.000 And we did the tough stuff.
00:06:51.000 And I am far from celebrating the ultimate victory because we want to win the Super Bowl, right?
00:06:55.000 This is a regular season Monday night football win.
00:06:58.000 That's what I'm going to say.
00:06:59.000 It was hyped up.
00:07:00.000 That's all it is.
00:07:00.000 This was a regular season win.
00:07:02.000 Wasn't preseason, wasn't even a playoff win.
00:07:04.000 This is a regular season win.
00:07:06.000 But it feels good to be back in the game.
00:07:07.000 And the movement they tried to extinguish sent a message yesterday that not only are we alive, but we are commanding the Republican Party.
00:07:17.000 Despite all of your attempts to use, manipulate, smear, and slander, that the core ethos of the movement remains alive and well.
00:07:30.000 We do not want mass immigration from the third world. 1.00
00:07:33.000 We want a border.
00:07:35.000 We want a language that can unify us together.
00:07:38.000 We do not want out-of-control tech companies calling shots.
00:07:42.000 We do not want Davos in the World Economic Forum reigning supreme over our sovereignty.
00:07:47.000 We don't want our kids to be groomed.
00:07:50.000 We want Congress to balance a budget.
00:07:54.000 We do not want to have $2 trillion deficits.
00:07:56.000 We do not want to have China and the Chinese Communist Party to continue to expand.
00:08:00.000 We do not want to have hundreds of billions of dollars funding a proxy war of Ukraine v. Russia.
00:08:07.000 The core ethos, the message that is animating the MAGA movement is dominant, is dominant.
00:08:16.000 And the energy and the spirit was on full display yesterday in Iowa.
00:08:22.000 And what I love is finally after three years, we don't have to guess.
00:08:27.000 The guesswork is over.
00:08:29.000 It is real results, real data.
00:08:33.000 Steve Hilton, who I really respect on Fox News, and I was watching it passively before I left the office, and he said something I really liked.
00:08:41.000 He said, in his opinion, Donald Trump's triumphant victory here in Iowa is a bigger deal to him than even his shock victory in 2016.
00:08:52.000 Now, I'm not sure if I agree with that.
00:08:53.000 Winning the presidency against Hillary Clinton was pretty unbelievable, but his point was really smart.
00:08:58.000 And I thought about it all night.
00:09:00.000 They raided Mar-a-Lago.
00:09:01.000 They've indicted him in four separate jurisdictions on hundreds of things.
00:09:05.000 He's facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:09:07.000 They're trying to take his business empire from him.
00:09:10.000 They kicked him off the social media.
00:09:11.000 They made him start his own social media app.
00:09:14.000 This is the closest that any modern American political figure, especially former president, has reached to exile and pseudo-metaphorical political assassination.
00:09:25.000 But they made Trump into a martyr.
00:09:27.000 And understand, the rules of Trump do not apply to anybody else.
00:09:29.000 This guy is unique.
00:09:30.000 He is a force of nature.
00:09:33.000 And the movement yesterday said, yeah, I don't care what the New York Times says.
00:09:35.000 I don't care what MSNBC says.
00:09:37.000 I don't care what the Washington Post says.
00:09:38.000 I don't care what Jack Smith does.
00:09:40.000 I'm going to make my own decision.
00:09:42.000 And that sort of decentralized, populist, people-powered movement is terrifying the bad guys.
00:09:52.000 And it wasn't as if Trump had a cakewalk.
00:09:55.000 We're going to get into the numbers.
00:09:56.000 They're extraordinary.
00:09:58.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars spent against Donald Trump.
00:10:02.000 The Koch brothers pumping in money for Nikki Haley.
00:10:06.000 Ron DeSantis doing a full Grassley.
00:10:10.000 99 counties.
00:10:11.000 And you still lose by 30.
00:10:13.000 This is a big win, everybody.
00:10:15.000 And the media is going to try to say, oh, it's just a primary.
00:10:17.000 No, no, no, this is a real win.
00:10:18.000 This is a real thing.
00:10:20.000 Onward to New Hampshire.
00:10:21.000 We're going to talk about New Hampshire, but the primary is effectively over.
00:10:24.000 And those of you that showed up, that worked, that didn't give up from across the country.
00:10:28.000 This is not the ultimate celebration, but honestly, you guys deserve at least a day where you could feel good about yourself.
00:10:35.000 And you should enjoy that.
00:10:37.000 You should, because you've earned it.
00:10:41.000 Dark clouds are gathering as markets shutter.
00:10:44.000 Stocks are sinking and currency stubbling.
00:10:47.000 Fear and uncertainty reign.
00:10:48.000 The Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan, the debt, it is endless.
00:10:51.000 Yet one asset historically stands firm.
00:10:54.000 In crisis after crisis, gold is there in the background.
00:10:54.000 It is gold.
00:10:57.000 Its enduring value guards against loss, like a missile shield against incoming.
00:11:02.000 If paper wealth burns, gold has shown the strength to persist.
00:11:06.000 Noble Gold says to shield your savings against looming threats, war, recession, contagion, and avoid the frenzied panic of the unprepared.
00:11:14.000 Noble Gold says take control in the chaos.
00:11:16.000 Brave warriors say that fortune favors decisive action.
00:11:20.000 Noble warns to get a hold of gold now before the price could be out of reach.

00:11:54.000 Colin does an amazing job at noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:12:00.000 So the final results are remarkable.
00:12:02.000 It is by far the greatest success of any Republican candidate running in the history of the Iowa caucus that had any competitor.
00:12:11.000 Obviously, when Trump ran unopposed, he won everything.
00:12:14.000 Now, he won every single county except one, Johnson County, where Nikki Haley beat him by one vote, allegedly.
00:12:22.000 And that's where the University of Iowa is, Iowa City, so they can have it.
00:12:25.000 So he won 98 out of 99 counties.
00:12:30.000 I have a lot of respect for Ron DeSantis, what he's done in Florida.
00:12:32.000 He has run a terrible campaign.
00:12:34.000 He has not listened to a piece of advice that we've given both privately and publicly because we wanted to see everybody do their best.
00:12:43.000 We did everything we could to try to get Ron DeSantis to attend our turning point action conference in his home state of Florida over the summer.
00:12:52.000 We did our best to try to get Ron DeSantis to come to AmericaFest because he wants to be the nominee.
00:12:57.000 So face your voters, man.
00:12:59.000 It's in the home state of Florida.
00:13:01.000 And we, and by the way, Ron DeSantis, we did this huge tour with Ron DeSantis in the fall of 2022.
00:13:06.000 We took him on tour and it was really great.
00:13:09.000 And I guess he was afraid to face the Trump voters.
00:13:12.000 And this is one of the reasons why he did so poorly.
00:13:14.000 He can't face voters.
00:13:16.000 He's afraid he's going to get booed. 0.99
00:13:17.000 And then this is just a ridiculous speech. 0.87
00:13:19.000 And I say this with a great amount of respect, but I'm very honest with you guys. 0.80
00:13:22.000 And by the way, the emails are flooding and people are so angry I'm saying good things about DeSantis.
00:13:26.000 It's true.
00:13:26.000 I don't care.
00:13:26.000 He's a great governor.
00:13:27.000 We need more governors like DeSantis.
00:13:29.000 He should have a political future, but he has had a very, very bad year.
00:13:34.000 However, this speech drives me nuts.
00:13:36.000 You got to be honest, man.
00:13:38.000 Don't lie to people.
00:13:40.000 In fact, one of the lines that DeSantis once used, he said, don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
00:13:48.000 Ron, you had a bad night, man.
00:13:50.000 You went all in.
00:13:51.000 You had $125 million super PAC.
00:13:53.000 You visited every single county.
00:13:54.000 You got the endorsement from the governor, the endorsement from all the evangelical leaders, and you lose by 30.
00:14:00.000 It's not going to get better from here.
00:14:02.000 It's not.
00:14:03.000 And instead, you should use whatever precious resources are left in your pack, bow out before it's too late.
00:14:08.000 If it's 20 million, 30 million, 40 million.
00:14:10.000 Can we find out, Blake, how much money he has left in his pack?
00:14:12.000 And go hire ballot chasers, early state infrastructure, and get us prepared to win, to defeat the Democrat Party in November, whoever they nominate, whether it be Biden, Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom.
00:14:23.000 Every day is precious.
00:14:25.000 From this point forward, every single day that Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley remain in this race is a gift to Joe Biden.
00:14:34.000 Let me say that again.
00:14:36.000 Every single day that Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley remain in the presidential race is an in-kind multi-million dollar contribution to the Democrat Party.
00:14:48.000 You guys had your opportunity.
00:14:49.000 We gave you Iowa.
00:14:50.000 We said, let's see.
00:14:51.000 And we saw.
00:14:52.000 And this was going to be the closest of all of them.
00:14:54.000 Now, we'll get to New Hampshire. 1.00
00:14:55.000 New Hampshire is going to be a sneaky Democrat operation where Nikki Haley is going to try to do some stuff. 1.00
00:15:00.000 We'll get to that.
00:15:01.000 But I'm going to focus on Ron DeSantis here.
00:15:03.000 How tone deaf?
00:15:05.000 What planet is this?
00:15:07.000 Is that Ron DeSantis is acting as if this is a five-point race?
00:15:11.000 Play cut 48.
00:15:20.000 We love you two. 0.95
00:15:21.000 They threw everything but the kitchen sink at us.
00:15:25.000 The media was against us.
00:15:27.000 They were writing our obituary months ago.
00:15:32.000 They even called the election before people even got a chance to vote.
00:15:40.000 I got to be honest, Ron DeSantis.
00:15:42.000 What are you doing, man?
00:15:43.000 Anyway, they're blaming the media on this.
00:15:45.000 Let me tell you what happened with the media thing.
00:15:47.000 There's a little bit of truth to it, but it's not what they're talking about.
00:15:49.000 Okay.
00:15:50.000 Here's what happened.
00:15:51.000 The Iowa caucus was supposed to start at, I think, 7 p.m.
00:15:55.000 Some were delayed by 10 or 15 minutes.
00:15:58.000 We were sitting here on air and right around 35 minutes, 40 minutes past the hour, the media called it for Trump.
00:16:05.000 And it turns out they were right.
00:16:06.000 They were using projection modeling data.
00:16:09.000 And DeSantis is really mad because some caucuses were still underway and people were getting push notifications and they were getting alerts on their phone that Trump has won.
00:16:17.000 And it turns out they were right.
00:16:19.000 You're trying to tell me that's a 30-point swing?
00:16:21.000 Not even close.
00:16:22.000 And so now they're focusing on how the media is in cahoots.
00:16:26.000 I'll be honest, DeSantis team, you guys are losing a lot of the trust and the credibility that you've built up with how good of a governor you were that you are acting like out of control of social justice warrior purple-haired jihadis.
00:16:38.000 Enough with this.
00:16:40.000 That somehow Donald Trump is in collusion with the mainstream media.
00:16:45.000 I have so much respect for you guys.
00:16:47.000 Stop ruining your credibility.
00:16:49.000 How about you just suck it up and be like, you know what?
00:16:50.000 You know what I would like to do?
00:16:51.000 DeSantis team said instead of whining, they were whining.
00:16:55.000 You know what they should have said?
00:16:57.000 They should have said, man, Trump is a once in a hundred year political force.
00:17:02.000 We gave it our all.
00:17:03.000 This is not what we wanted.
00:17:04.000 Back to you soon.
00:17:05.000 Fine.
00:17:05.000 I would have been fine with that.
00:17:06.000 So they're complaining about the media colluding and that you gave it our all and that we had a great night.
00:17:11.000 You guys lost by 30.
00:17:13.000 It would be like the Philadelphia Eagles doing a press conference after getting your clock cleaned by the Bucks and be like, what a great victory.
00:17:19.000 Yet you're not moving on to the divisional round.
00:17:21.000 You're done.
00:17:25.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:38.000 Why target you and not millionaires?
00:17:40.000 Because millionaires have lawyers and you don't. 1.00

00:18:27.000 Joining us now is Kash Patel.
00:18:28.000 Cash, your reaction to the triumph last evening in Iowa.
00:18:32.000 Your thoughts.
00:18:33.000 Hey, Charlie, it was in all-out something.
00:18:37.000 I mean, it doesn't matter how much the mainstream media moves the goalpost last night to today, 49, 51.
00:18:44.000 Oh, Haley did better than DeSantis or vice versa.
00:18:47.000 The reality is caucus goers in Iowa came out in droves for Donald Trump for one reason.
00:18:53.000 They are receptive of Donald Trump's policies.
00:18:55.000 Donald Trump has put the national security agenda first and foremost, along with the economy on the campaign trail.
00:19:02.000 And Americans have received that in stark contrast to whatever Joe Biden's putting out there.
00:19:07.000 But it's not like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have a better strategy.
00:19:10.000 Otherwise, they would have voted for it.
00:19:12.000 So what is your reaction to Ron DeSantis being completely defiant and trying to spin this into a victory and saying we now have to go on to New Hampshire?
00:19:23.000 Look, he's a politician, and Nikki Haley's doing the same thing.
00:19:26.000 I mean, they're essentially lying through their teeth.
00:19:28.000 They don't have a basis to stand on, but what they do have is, what, $75 more million dollars from the Rhino establishment class and the Iconoclass to go out there on the campaign trail and get funded by the defense industrial complex and the lobbyists in Washington, D.C. that want to see Donald Trump fail.
00:19:45.000 So they're going to be well-funded.
00:19:46.000 They were in Iowa, and they're going to put out headlines that don't jive with the factual ground game, but they're going to say because the mainstream media is going to print it because it's all in one effort to eliminate Donald Trump from the ballot.
00:20:02.000 And whether it's a Republican or Democrat, at the end of the day, the mainstream media almost doesn't care.
00:20:06.000 So they'll print their headlines, but America knows, and I think it's just a lie.
00:20:12.000 All right.
00:20:12.000 So I have a funny question for you, Cash.
00:20:14.000 You're going to have to just hear me out.
00:20:16.000 All right. 1.00
00:20:16.000 So we have Joy Reed, who's claiming Nikki Haley is losing the GOP nomination because she's Indian. 1.00
00:20:22.000 So you got Vivek, we got Nimerata, we got Kash Patel.
00:20:26.000 You're uniquely positioned, Cash, to answer this question as the most, either the number one or the second most based Indian in the conservative movement.
00:20:34.000 It's up there.
00:20:35.000 Okay.
00:20:35.000 And by the way, you're an American.
00:20:36.000 I'm just being honest.
00:20:37.000 Play Cup 37, please.
00:20:38.000 New Hampshire.
00:20:39.000 And I think to the point that you made, Steph, I mean, it's the elephant in the room.
00:20:43.000 She's still a brown lady that's got to try to win in a party that is deeply anti-immigrant and which accepts the notion that you can say immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. 0.99
00:20:55.000 She's getting, you know, birthered by Donald Trump. 1.00
00:20:59.000 And I don't care how much the Dona Crot likes her, which will ramp up a lot, the better she does in New Hampshire. 0.95
00:21:04.000 So it's still a challenge. 0.97
00:21:05.000 I don't see how she becomes the nominee of that party with Donald Trump still around.
00:21:11.000 I can't picture it happening.
00:21:12.000 Maybe it could happen.
00:21:14.000 All right, Cash.
00:21:15.000 First of all, of all the objections I have of Nimerata Haley, not even one that would cross my mind is the Indian heritage.
00:21:25.000 I mean that. 0.97
00:21:26.000 I just, these people, the race lady, Joy Reed, she is such a shallow, singular thinking dolt. 1.00
00:21:34.000 She's not a smart person that she assumes that we sit in these rooms, Cash, and we want to, you know, wonder whether or not that, you know, who is the anti-immigrant? 0.62
00:21:44.000 Just riff on this a little bit, Kash Patel, because I mean, you're warmly welcomed in the MAGA movement.
00:21:50.000 What's going on here?
00:21:51.000 You know, as a son of lawful immigrants, as a first-generation kid who rose to the ranks of senior government, and Joy Reed, by the way, here's a fact for you.
00:22:00.000 When I was chief of staff at the Department of Defense, when I was deputy director of national intelligence, I was the first minority in U.S. history to serve in those two roles.
00:22:11.000 And President Donald J. Trump put me there.
00:22:13.000 Not Obama, not Biden, not Bush, DJT. 1.00
00:22:17.000 And this idiocy that they're rolling out about, you know, being brown and she can't win. 1.00
00:22:23.000 It's the same lunacy that Fanny's running around with Love Bird 2.0 operation down in Georgia. 1.00
00:22:29.000 Oh, she's a black woman, so she can commit illegalities and they'll cover for her. 1.00
00:22:34.000 It makes no sense. 0.98
00:22:35.000 They are running out of roadway.
00:22:37.000 They are running out of policy.
00:22:39.000 They are running out of anything to actually run on.
00:22:42.000 So they do what Al Sharpton has always done: pull the race card in line.
00:22:46.000 And some portion of their base will respond to it.
00:22:49.000 But the singular fact is Donald Trump has done more for immigrants, for minorities, has promoted them throughout his government and his administration.
00:22:57.000 And I think we'll continue to do so.
00:22:58.000 And look, the Black and Latino movement going to Donald Trump in droves is just another example.
00:23:04.000 It doesn't matter what Joy Reed says on MSNBC.
00:23:08.000 So look, I also just want to reiterate this for everyone keeping score at home, which is there is not a single person that I've ever encountered in the MAGA movement that doesn't like Nikki Haley, that could care less about her heritage or her race.
00:23:26.000 And by the way, I call her Nimerata because that's her name.
00:23:28.000 I just think it's funny because it drives her nuts when you say that. 0.89
00:23:31.000 But like, I, you know, like some of these low IQ people say, oh, Charlie, you're being racist.
00:23:35.000 What do you mean?
00:23:36.000 I call Vivek Vivek.
00:23:37.000 Okay.
00:23:37.000 I don't call him Vince.
00:23:39.000 Okay.
00:23:39.000 It's not like it's not like Vivek.
00:23:41.000 By the way, I have such credit for Vivek.
00:23:43.000 He owned it.
00:23:44.000 Okay.
00:23:45.000 It's not like Vivek started the run for the caucus and he said, call me Vince.
00:23:48.000 Okay, he owned it.
00:23:49.000 God bless him.
00:23:50.000 All right.
00:23:51.000 Her name's Nima Rada and she changed it to be Nikki and I don't like it.
00:23:55.000 Okay.
00:23:55.000 But the point is this, is that they are so one-dimensional over on those cable networks.
00:24:00.000 They act as if that we have this like pent up bigotry or hatred.
00:24:05.000 And it's actually the opposite, is that if you bring cash or you bring Vivek to some of the whitest counties in Iowa, you'll get standing ovations at those Lincoln GOP dinners.
00:24:17.000 Write cash.
00:24:17.000 I'm sure if you look through who buys the books of Kash Patel, it is the whitest Christian counties across the country because despite the cattle from these people on these cable networks, the MAGA movement is multiracial, it's multi-ethnic, and also it's not race obsessed.
00:24:35.000 It's not.
00:24:36.000 It's actually the priority is merit.
00:24:38.000 The priority is nation.
00:24:40.000 The priority is if you're a conservative, you have great values.
00:24:43.000 Cash your thoughts.
00:24:44.000 Look, I think you're absolutely right.
00:24:46.000 Donald Trump has always done one thing, put the best man or woman forward for the job.
00:24:49.000 And that's how you defend this country.
00:24:51.000 And when it comes to the race card, you're right.
00:24:53.000 I do engagements across the country.
00:24:55.000 I speak in rooms that I'm blessed to be in and have the support of so many great Americans.
00:25:01.000 You want to know the irony of ironies?
00:25:03.000 I've tried to get out there in the Indian American community and speak at Indian American engagements across this country.
00:25:09.000 But because of people like Joey Reed, they've been so weaponized against people like me because of the lies they have told them.
00:25:15.000 I have done one Indian American community engagement in the last three years.
00:25:20.000 That should tell you everything you need to know about the status of the American people and how biased they are when it comes to putting forth American leaders and listening about national security, defense, and intelligence, because they'd rather listen to Joy Reed and say Donald Trump's a racist and anyone affiliated with him can't come and speak to our audience.
00:25:37.000 It is shameful that the Indian American community in this country hasn't grasped onto some of the things we've done and succeeded in in the Trump administration.
00:25:46.000 And I, as an Indian American, will call them out for it and I'll call out Joy Reed, but she's the problem, not the Indian American community. 1.00
00:25:55.000 So I want to riff on this a little bit more.
00:25:57.000 I kind of go in another direction here.
00:25:59.000 And one of the talking points that they're pushing, and you got to take these seriously because unfortunately the media still has some power, especially in some of these states.
00:26:09.000 And, you know, I was dealing with, I was up way too late last night.
00:26:12.000 I was talking to a really good friend.
00:26:13.000 He's very, very accomplished and he's a medical doctor and he hates Biden. 0.99
00:26:17.000 And he says, look, I'll probably suck up. 0.99
00:26:18.000 This is his quote. 1.00
00:26:19.000 He says, I'll suck it up.
00:26:20.000 I'll probably vote for Trump.
00:26:21.000 I didn't like that he won the primary in Iowa.
00:26:24.000 He said, but I just don't like all this authoritarian stuff.
00:26:26.000 I said, well, what do you mean?
00:26:27.000 And I was on.
00:26:28.000 He said, you know, I just keep on hearing on the news network that Trump is acting like a dictator.
00:26:32.000 And for me, that was a little red flag because I said, boy, some of this stuff does penetrate, you know, mainstream opinion of the people we need to win.
00:26:40.000 So we have to be very careful because, you know, we live in our own little world here and we reach millions of people.
00:26:45.000 But for mainstream people, they're working hard.
00:26:47.000 They might hear a five-minute segment on NPR and it impacts them.
00:26:50.000 And it's not their fault, right?
00:26:51.000 They're being manipulated by the intel agencies.
00:26:53.000 I want to play this piece of tape here, 47.
00:26:56.000 I want you to respond to this idea that Donald Trump is Benito Mussolini.
00:27:00.000 Play Cut 47.
00:27:01.000 If we are worried about the rise of authoritarianism in this country, we are worried about potential rise of fascism in this country.
00:27:07.000 We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government.
00:27:14.000 The leader who is trying to do that is part of that equation.
00:27:17.000 But people wanting that is a much bigger part of that equation.
00:27:21.000 But once you have radicalized one major party so that those are the preferences of the people who adhere to your party, the leaders interchangeable.
00:27:29.000 And yes, Trumpism is sometimes what we call it.
00:27:31.000 MAGA movement is probably a better way to do it. 0.57
00:27:34.000 But there is an authoritarian movement inside Republican politics that isn't being bamboozled by Trump.
00:27:40.000 They are pushing Trump to get more and more extreme because the more extreme things he says, the more they adhere to it.
00:27:48.000 Cash, you served with Donald Trump.
00:27:50.000 What is your firsthand response to this nonsense that they're peddling?
00:27:54.000 Look, it's their next iteration of the disinformation campaign.
00:27:57.000 It started with Russia Gate, went to January 6th, onto the insurrection.
00:28:00.000 They failed across all boards because we exposed the truth that Donald Trump was innocent and totally exonerated him.
00:28:06.000 So now they're on to the dictator campaign.
00:28:09.000 Now they're on to saying that Donald Trump, and you're right, Charlie, that there's people out there who get snippets of information and hear that.
00:28:15.000 And they're like, oh my God, CNN and MSNBGC just said Donald Trump might be a dictator.
00:28:19.000 But look at the facts.
00:28:20.000 Donald Trump wasn't the one who was a dictator ever in his presidency.
00:28:24.000 On and before January 6th, he authorized the National Guard to secure the Capitol.
00:28:28.000 Pelosi and Bowser shut it down.
00:28:30.000 They were the insurrectionists.
00:28:32.000 They were advancing the disinformation campaign.
00:28:34.000 And they're using it today to stitch it to the end of the election cycle because that's their only way to kneecap Donald Trump.
00:28:40.000 They know he never seized the military, never did anything close to it.
00:28:44.000 And they don't want to talk about Joe Biden.
00:28:46.000 So they'll come up with their disinformation campaign.
00:28:48.000 And we just got that.
00:28:49.000 One of the criticisms of Trump is that he didn't use executive power enough.
00:28:53.000 I know that sounds wild, but there were opportunities where he could have even constitutionally embraced more executive power when it came even to the border or mass deportations.
00:29:03.000 And he actually allowed the system of checks and balances and separation of powers to play it out.
00:29:09.000 He was remarkably patient when it came to the constitutional structure.
00:29:14.000 And I just, in fact, I would have liked to see him embrace more of that energetic executive at times.
00:29:21.000 And so it's the exact opposite.
00:29:22.000 Cash, great work.
00:29:23.000 How do people get your book, Cash?
00:29:24.000 Thanks so much.
00:29:25.000 GovernmentGangsters.com, Amazon.
00:29:27.000 It's a bestseller.
00:29:28.000 We appreciate your support.
00:29:29.000 It is the roadmap to destroying the deep state.
00:29:31.000 Get a copy right now and let's join the movement and help Donald Trump get elected.
00:29:35.000 Thanks so much, Cash.
00:29:36.000 Appreciate it.
00:29:37.000 Thanks.
00:29:37.000 Thank you.
00:29:40.000 Hey, this is Charlie Kirk.
00:29:41.000 And I know a lot of you have been suffering under the Biden economy.
00:29:44.000 Recently, school loan payments have been reinstated.
00:29:47.000 And for many, it's adding thousands to their monthly expenses.
00:29:50.000 My friends, Andrew Delray and Todd of Akiyam, they're amazing.
00:29:52.000 They really helped me through a tough, tough situation recently.
00:29:55.000 They've been excellent.
00:29:57.000 They're ethical.
00:29:58.000 They're just really great people.
00:30:00.000 They're followers of Jesus Christ.
00:30:01.000 And our worldviews are the same.
00:30:03.000 I love them.
00:30:04.000 And so please go to andrewandodd.com.
00:30:06.000 Interest rates are coming down and they may be able to lower your overall payment.
00:30:08.000 In fact, one of our team members said, Charlie, is it time to me to own a home?
00:30:12.000 I went through the numbers.
00:30:12.000 I sat down.
00:30:13.000 I said, get in the owner game.
00:30:14.000 Honestly, enough renting.
00:30:15.000 You are burning your money renting.
00:30:16.000 It might be a little bit more to own, but you're building equity.
00:30:19.000 That's money you'll have for the rest of your life.
00:30:21.000 Perhaps a reverse mortgage is a perfect solution.
00:30:24.000 It's about expertise you could trust in times like this.
00:30:26.000 I can't tell you how helpful they've been for me personally.
00:30:28.000 They've just been excellent.
00:30:29.000 Andrew and Todd, I'm honored to call them friends.
00:30:31.000 We hang out when I go to Orange County together.
00:30:33.000 They're really great.
00:30:34.000 So say, hey, Charlie sent me 888-888-1172.
00:30:37.000 That's 888, 888, 1172.
00:30:39.000 They helped me through a mortgage situation recently that was super complex and moving pieces.
00:30:44.000 And it was really, really tough.
00:30:46.000 And other banks, by the way, wanted nothing to do with it.
00:30:48.000 And they crushed it for me.
00:30:49.000 10 out of 10.
00:30:50.000 Really loved working with Todd.
00:30:52.000 He was just a delight.
00:30:53.000 Andrew and Todd together, Todd, especially, though.
00:30:55.000 Andrew and Todd.com.
00:30:56.000 So check it out right now, AndrewandTodd.com.
00:31:01.000 He's coming on the show tomorrow.
00:31:03.000 And I was just half joking around my other favorite Indian. 0.88
00:31:06.000 And I have a lot of respect for Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:31:08.000 You know, people said, oh, you know, he underperformed all this.
00:31:10.000 No, no, no.
00:31:11.000 I judged the success of Vivek Ramaswamy's candidacy completely different.
00:31:17.000 Number one, he moved the Overton window to build consensus and open eyes to try to get Rana McRomney out as RNC chair.
00:31:26.000 He did that.
00:31:27.000 He went on an RNC debate stage and he had the courage and the spine and the stones to do that.
00:31:34.000 Nobody else did.
00:31:35.000 He deserves a ton of credit for that.
00:31:38.000 Number two, I have never seen a candidate since Rand Paul running in 2015.
00:31:45.000 It's been eight years since I've seen a presidential candidate be able to red pill Normie's young millennials, high IQ, high functioning, high income, highly educated people like Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:31:58.000 I'm not as interested in the poll numbers.
00:32:00.000 You know what I'm interested in?
00:32:01.000 The fact that Vivek Ramaswamy was able to command and keep the attention of Elon Musk talking about immigration, national sovereignty, national unity, talking about anti-war agenda, rebuilding the middle class.
00:32:14.000 Vivek Ramaswamy did that, not Ron DeSantis.
00:32:16.000 Ron DeSantis had the worst Twitter space with Elon I've ever seen.
00:32:21.000 Vivek on a weekend.
00:32:23.000 By the way, Elon's got a lot going on.
00:32:25.000 He's got SpaceX.
00:32:27.000 He's got Tesla.
00:32:28.000 He's got SolarCity.
00:32:29.000 He's got X. He's got all investigated by the government.
00:32:32.000 And Elon, his time is the most precious commodity for Elon.
00:32:34.000 That's his own description of his life.
00:32:37.000 And Elon spends hours with Vivek Ramaswamy, learning from him, asking questions, saying that Vivek is the most interesting person running.
00:32:44.000 David Sachs, who runs the All-In Podcast, who's great, has, at least from a tonal standpoint and a public appearance standpoint, seemed to go more center right since he's engaged with Vivek.
00:32:56.000 Vivek Ramaswamy has done a phenomenal job of being an elite red pill dispenser.
00:33:03.000 And I know that might not resonate with some of you.
00:33:05.000 I can't tell you how significant that is because we need it bottom up, top down.
00:33:10.000 We need Donald Trump to win over the masses, but we need to try to peel off some of the people that we call the ruling class on the elites, people that run the institutions, people that run the companies, and Vivek Ramaswamy, because of his incredible talent for communication, his lexicon, his vocabulary, his diction, his syntax, his capacity to make hard arguments and to do it in a seamless way, very high IQ,
00:33:38.000 very highbrow, was able to get people that otherwise would not have been interested in this primary.
00:33:42.000 Ron DeSantis wasn't speaking to them.
00:33:44.000 Nikki wasn't speaking to them.
00:33:46.000 And Vivek Ramaswamy also did last night.
00:33:49.000 It was a test for him.
00:33:50.000 He showed us what he's made of.
00:33:52.000 He didn't get the result he wanted electorally.
00:33:54.000 By the way, I called Vivek last night, very late, and I encouraged him.
00:33:57.000 I said, keep your head up.
00:33:58.000 You have a bright future.
00:33:59.000 I want to do more with you.
00:34:00.000 I really tried to build him up because I think he's did a great job.
00:34:03.000 I really did.
00:34:04.000 And by the way, I was a skeptic of him running from the beginning.
00:34:07.000 And the skepticism was just the electoral part.
00:34:09.000 And it turns out my skepticism was proven to be correct.
00:34:12.000 But I totally missed the narrative shift.
00:34:14.000 I did.
00:34:15.000 I'll fully acknowledge.
00:34:16.000 I totally missed how Vivek, without a doubt, moved the Overton window more than any other candidate, Trump even included, over the last nine months.
00:34:25.000 Vivek Ramaswamy went up on stage and he all of a sudden made it acceptable to talk about the great replacement.
00:34:29.000 It's everywhere.
00:34:30.000 It's done.
00:34:30.000 The media can no longer destroy us on that.
00:34:34.000 Vivek did that.
00:34:34.000 Talks about getting rid of the RNC chair.
00:34:37.000 He talks about all these different things in a articulate, charismatic, courageous, and forceful way.
00:34:43.000 Let's play Cut 42, please.
00:34:45.000 As I've said since the beginning, there are two America First candidates in this race.
00:34:50.000 And earlier tonight, I called Donald Trump to tell him that I congratulate him on his victory.
00:34:56.000 And now going forward, he will have my full endorsement for the presidency.
00:35:01.000 And I think we're going to do the right thing for this country.
00:35:04.000 I love it.
00:35:04.000 Why didn't Ron DeSantis do that?
00:35:06.000 Ron DeSantis is going to go get his clock cleaned again in New Hampshire, go spend more money so that it makes it harder for us to beat the Democrats.
00:35:11.000 Nikki Haley, forget it.
00:35:12.000 Waste of time.
00:35:14.000 I have a lot of respect for that.
00:35:15.000 That's not easy to do.
00:35:16.000 Vivek thought he was going to do great in Iowa.
00:35:19.000 It's not a good.
00:35:19.000 He wasn't happy.
00:35:20.000 Sucked it up. 0.99
00:35:21.000 That's called leadership. 0.98
00:35:22.000 I have a lot of respect for that.
00:35:24.000 You don't get what you want.
00:35:25.000 You put the country above.
00:35:27.000 By the way, if Ron DeSantis would have went up on stage and endorsed Trump, I would have a completely different tone.
00:35:32.000 And there's still money left in that bank account.
00:35:34.000 Every day, Ron DeSantis is losing the respect of people like me.
00:35:38.000 And I have so much respect.
00:35:39.000 He has a great moral bank account, and he is spending down that balance.
00:35:43.000 He is spending down the moral bank account.
00:35:46.000 And it really is maddening because I'm a cheerleader for the guy.
00:35:50.000 I love going to Florida.
00:35:51.000 What he's done there is amazing.
00:35:52.000 But as every day goes on, I want to repeat what I said earlier.
00:35:55.000 Every day that Nimarada and Ron DeSantis remain in this race is an in-kind, multi-million dollar contribution to Biden and the Democrat Party.
00:36:04.000 Every single day, every day they remain in.
00:36:06.000 The Democrats hope they could stretch this out.
00:36:07.000 They want to maybe make it to South Carolina, maybe make it to Super Tuesday.
00:36:11.000 Every day, we need to have Donald Trump the nominee, raise the capital, ballot chasers, election integrity, grassroots warriors, and end this primary once and for all.
00:36:19.000 God bless you, Vivek.
00:36:20.000 You made a huge difference, and I think your future is just getting started.
