After last week's historic election, we are now firmly into the transition process, and we need to do everything we can to get this country moving in the right direction as quickly as possible. We need to make sure we have military leadership that isn t just looking for a board seat at Raytheon, while spending trillions of dollars on endless and oftentimes pointless wars, and that we have a government that isn't looking for endless and pointless wars. Today, we re joined by Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA to talk about the latest disaster recovery headlines, including a new report from the Daily Wire alleging that FEMA workers were ordered to avoid all mention of Donald Trump in disaster relief efforts in order to avoid getting accused of working for a political agenda. This is pure and simple conspiracies, and it s time to call out the people responsible for taking care of the left-wing bureaucracy responsible for all of these things. Thank you for being a part of the American First Movement, and remember, you re not the only ones who should be fighting for our country. We re all in this fight together! Thank you to our veterans and family for all the support you ve shown, and thank you to all the people who have served and given us the chance to serve our country and keep our country safe and our veterans safe and secure.

RATE/SUBSCRIPS, RATE, REVIEW, SHOUTOUT, and SHOUT OUTS, and for supporting us out there! .
00:05:27.000After last week's historic election, we are now firmly into the transition process and we're doing everything we can to get this country moving in the right direction as quickly as possible.
00:05:41.000We have to end all of this nonsense and get everything back on track.
00:05:48.000To all the veterans watching, I want to sincerely wish you a very, very happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service.
00:05:56.000Veterans are such a huge part of the American First Movement and are at the center of my father's most profound promises.
00:06:04.000We're going to finish the job in the second term.
00:06:07.000We're going to fix everything Biden broke at the VA and we're going to forge a path of peace and prosperity.
00:06:14.000And we're going to make sure we have military leadership that isn't just looking for a board seat at Raytheon while spending trillions of dollars in endless and oftentimes pointless wars.
00:06:27.000So those are all going to be important themes of this show moving forward.
00:06:32.000Like I said, if your friends and family aren't watching us yet, now is a great time to start.
00:06:39.000I've been blessed to have a seat at the table, whatever I can share.
00:08:01.000Do you remember just a couple months ago when we were told it's a conspiracy theory that FEMA wasn't helping out Trump supporters based on politics?
00:08:11.000I remember it because I made a pretty big deal about it.
00:08:14.000Well, The Atlantic wrote a whole article mocking people online for alleging That FEMA was abandoning Trump voters.
00:08:24.000You notice how all those red areas in North Carolina seemed like they were totally neglected?
00:08:29.000Remember when I went up into Batcave and Pensacola Township, separate trips with the great people from Samaritan's Purse, and I'm asking the fire chief and I'm asking the police chief, where's FEMA? We don't know.
00:08:44.000It was all done by the people at Samaritan's Purse.
00:08:46.000Those were the people who were actually taking action.
00:08:49.000Remember, that was a conspiracy theory that they were missing.
00:08:52.000As a quick reminder, here's CNN saying that it was misinformation, their favorite word of the election cycle, folks, that this wasn't happening.
00:09:09.000Look, FEMA officials will tell me they have literally never dealt with this level of misinformation.
00:09:15.000And these rumors, these lies, many of them have been pushed by former President Trump.
00:09:21.000Claims that FEMA is spending all of its relief money on undocumented immigrants or that they're not helping people in Republican areas.
00:09:29.000But of course, Just like I've told you, the only difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is just a few months.
00:09:36.000Because on Friday, the Daily Wire published an explosive report revealing that FEMA workers were ordered to, quote, avoid Holmes advertising Trump.
00:09:47.000Like, so if you had a Trump sign in your yard and you lost everything, yeah, you weren't going to get any attention from FEMA. During the hurricane response efforts here in Florida, that's where that happened.
00:09:59.000I'm sure it probably happened elsewhere.
00:10:02.000Government workers said that they skipped at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags and that these homes weren't given the opportunity to get FEMA assistance.
00:10:13.000Well, guys, FEMA confirmed this message is real and claims that they fired the employee that sent it.
00:10:24.000If that actually happened in a time of crisis by people responsible for actually taking care of these people, people should be going to jail.
00:10:50.000Because it's also becoming clear in the past few days that the left-wing bureaucracy will do its best to resist the second Trump administration and try to undermine America First policies.
00:11:01.000CNN is already reporting that Pentagon officials are discussing how to disobey orders like using the military to deport illegal immigrants.
00:11:10.000They want to make sure that the unelected bureaucracy, the people that no one ever voted for, that were placed there by partisan hacks, that don't have any real mandate whatsoever.
00:11:23.000They want to make sure that those clowns are still in charge.
00:11:27.000And what we saw last Tuesday was that that is not what the American people want.
00:11:31.000not going to stop the Pentagon, folks.
00:11:35.000Some Pentagon officials say they're worried about what orders Donald Trump might issue when he's commander in chief again.
00:11:41.000Of particular concern is the threat to deploy active duty troops domestically, which he said he'd be open to doing.
00:11:47.000They also fear the possibility of mass firings of Department of Defense staff.
00:11:52.000The same CNN that tells you the corrupt administrative state doesn't exist We'll literally report on how the deep state plans to undermine the incoming president.
00:12:06.000It's not just limited to the Pentagon.
00:12:08.000The Washington Post covered an EPA employee who said she and her coworkers are focused on how to make sure the new administration does not walk back environmental regulations achieved under Joe Biden.
00:12:21.000In other words, they want to subvert the will of the people.
00:13:28.000So I love that you asked this question because, you know, there is a push, I think just a societal norm, that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled to your time.
00:13:39.000And I think the answer is absolutely not.
00:13:42.000So if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, like what you said, against your livelihood, And it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why.
00:14:02.000MSNBC seems happy to destroy families for ratings.
00:14:19.000But again, it's why more and more Americans are either tuning them out or simply just mocking them into extinction.
00:14:28.000And by the way, guys, remember in the days leading up to the election when the fake news endlessly told you that because of a bad joke at Madison Square Garden, we would literally lose the election?
00:14:41.000Well, they claim that because of a joke from literally an insult comic, great guy, my friend Tony Hinchcliffe, they claim that Puerto Rican voters will rise up as one to elect Kamala Harris.
00:14:57.000Well, it turns out it was just white liberals who thought that.
00:15:05.000Puerto Ricans also want to make America great again.
00:15:10.000For example, the data shows that the most Puerto Rican areas of Philadelphia swung the most towards Trump.
00:15:18.000Yet again, reality was the opposite of what the media told you.
00:15:23.000I think we actually won the governor's mansion and flipped that to red in Puerto Rico itself.
00:15:28.000And some of the biggest gains we saw this cycle included districts with strong Puerto Rican populations.
00:15:35.000Even AOC's own district shifted 24 points towards my father.
00:15:44.000So for anyone still asking whether or not this political realignment is actually happening, It's real and it's spectacular.
00:15:53.000And the good news in all of this, we won't be bogged down or handicapped by the fake news lies any longer.
00:16:01.000This isn't going to be 2017 all over again with hoaxes because the American people are no longer letting themselves be fooled and duped by the lies, the distortions, and the distractions.
00:16:15.000Make no mistake, The media, the deep state, they'll create them.
00:16:20.000But the American public saw everything they've thrown at my father, all of the lawfare, all of the cases, all of the thing.
00:16:27.000And the second we put out the facts, and frankly, the second Elon Musk took over X and people were able to see the other side, they were actually able to see it, as opposed to the one-sided argument that was made on leftist Twitter for years.
00:16:41.000They voted for my father, resoundingly, anyway.
00:16:46.000And that includes the baseless rogue prosecutions.
00:16:50.000We've seen that, like all of these things.
00:16:52.000The House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan on Friday, sent a stern warning to Special Counsel Jack Smith, demanding that he preserve all records related to his prosecutions.
00:17:14.000We have to look into the weaponization of the Department of Justice, the FBI, the most powerful organizations in our country.
00:17:21.000If they've been used as a cruddle, as a weapon against their political enemies, against the citizens they're supposed to be protecting, we have to have an understanding of who allowed that, how it could possibly happen, and we have to put an end to it once and for all.
00:17:37.000This has been one of the major concerns with Jack Smith closing down his witch hunts before the new Trump DOJ gets into office These files need to be reviewed.
00:17:47.000There needs to be transparency so we can all see how corrupt it all really was As Congressman Jordan wrote, Of course they're going to do that, folks.
00:18:10.000But we're going to track it down And we're going to make sure that people understand Exactly what happened in America And Texas AG Ken Paxton also filed a Freedom of Information Act request With the U.S. Department of Justice requesting records From special counsel Jack Smith investigations We don't want Jack Smith getting away with any dirty tricks on the way out And we don't want it to ever be able to happen again
00:18:38.000And by the way, relating to the FOIA request, there are a pile of FOIA requests across the Biden administration that have not been adequately responded to.
00:18:48.000We need to ensure that we shed sunlight on all of this and do so in a short amount of time come January 20th.
00:18:57.000Just look at what we found on FEMA. Just imagine what other stories are out there that are out there that have been out there for the last four years.
00:19:05.000I mean, the same DOJ and FBI that called concerned parents at PTA meetings domestic terrorists or people who bought Bibles literally domestic terrorists, the greatest threat to America.
00:19:17.000You don't think there's more out there?
00:19:19.000You don't think there's more that they did?
00:19:21.000How about the IRS going after They're political enemies or conservatives or conservative groups or people that donated to Trump that magically got audited after never having been looked at before in years.
00:19:33.000All happened at the same time, about a couple weeks after they wrote a check for the Trump campaign.
00:20:02.000If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple, just like dominoes, one by one.
00:20:12.000That's why today I'm announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime.
00:20:18.000And to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.
00:20:23.000And reclaim is a very important word in this case, because they've taken it away.
00:20:28.000In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American people.
00:20:46.000They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.
00:20:53.000The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed and it must happen immediately.
00:21:02.000First, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens.
00:21:21.000I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis or disinformation.
00:21:30.000And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship, directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health, Human Services, the FBI, The DOJ, no matter who they are.
00:21:50.000And relating to censorship and hidden information, remember a few weeks ago when we laid out evidence of a massive money laundering via ActBlue?
00:21:59.000Well, now we're learning that an elaborate money laundering operation built around identity theft schemes could be responsible for more than a million dollars in donations that benefited defeated Senator Bob Casey and other Pennsylvania Democratic candidates and causes now we're learning that an elaborate money laundering operation built around identity theft schemes could be And that's just in one state.
00:22:24.000Imagine what's been going on across the entire country.
00:22:28.000You always wonder how they can raise that much more money than us, how they can outspend us 10 to 1 in some of these races.
00:22:38.000It's why the deep state and the Democrat machine is in a panic and pointing fingers, because this alleged fraud is going to be investigated and it's going to be exposed.
00:22:49.000My father is already making major progress.
00:22:51.000He held a call with Zelensky, reportedly making it clear that the future must be peace.
00:22:57.000He's preparing action to secure the border.
00:23:01.000American companies are on notice that they need to decouple from China.
00:23:04.000A major middle-class tax relief package is on the way, and so much more.
00:23:10.000And like I said, this is a MAGA mandate.
00:23:32.000And most importantly, we have the support of you, the American people, the people who made this all happen.
00:23:40.000And Charlie Kirk, guys, he's coming up in just a few minutes, so we'll have some fun with that.
00:23:44.000But first, check out the Birch Gold Group and diversify your saving.
00:23:49.000Look, with my father back in office, you're going to have more money in your paycheck than ever before.
00:23:54.000And that means you'll have opportunities to plan for the future.
00:23:56.000One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.
00:24:00.000For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.
00:24:09.000To learn more, text Don Jr., D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898 and claim your free, no-obligation info kit on gold.
00:24:39.000Did you miss the deadline to file for an extension?
00:24:42.000In their last weeks in office, Harris-Biden may have the IRS ramp up their heavy-handed enforcement madness that we've been watching for quite some time.
00:24:51.000As you could face wage garnishments, frozen bank accounts, or even property seizures if you haven't taken action yet.
00:24:57.000So as I always say, I just want you to be prepared.
00:25:00.000Tax Network USA has helped taxpayers save over a billion dollars in tax debt and has filed over 10,000 returns.
00:25:07.000They specialize in helping people like you reduce their tax burdens and they can help you too.
00:25:52.000And being near you and around the team in 2016, this one feels better, different.
00:25:58.000That one was just a shock to the world.
00:26:01.000But this one, after all that your family's been through, after all that we've all been through, to kind of make a conscious decision that we won't surrender and won't give up and then achieve victory, It's one of the most amazing things I've ever had an honor to be part of.
00:26:17.000Yeah, for the guys that don't know, when I met Charlie in like 2015, I was almost a baby.
00:26:27.000And I think, you know, we worked so hard doing so many things.
00:26:30.000He was on the road with me for six months straight.
00:26:33.000But like, We just couldn't even fathom that you could maybe take on, you know, the Clinton machine.
00:26:39.000So it was like, hey, you know, like election is like, I think we'll overperform.
00:26:43.000We'll do better than other people were thinking, but there's no way we can actually win.
00:26:46.000And then it was like, oh boy, what happened?
00:26:49.000I think we've learned so much, but you're right.
00:26:51.000With all of the insanity, with all of the persecutions, with all of the lawfare, the weaponization of government, the attacks on, you know, not just my father, but myself and you too, Charlie, the way they go after you.
00:27:03.000I mean, You know, I think we're now battle tested, but it is so much sweeter, you know, when they see you coming, they're planning for it.
00:27:13.000They, you know, I think the Clintons were like, ah, well, we don't have to, like, where's Michigan?
00:28:59.000I'm not saying everything was, you know, it wasn't ideal, obviously, but like it was turned into this insane thing, you know, the first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world.
00:29:11.000And so it was so obvious what was going on.
00:29:13.000If you had, you know, double digit IQ, you could understand exactly what was happening.
00:29:18.000But the people who abandoned us then, and for months thereafter, and the people who, you know, were good with the lawfare, and the ongoing Russia, Russia, Russia, even after it had been totally disproven, like, just because you were there on day one doesn't mean you get any credit for that if you were basically subverting us, you know, all of that time.
00:29:35.000So yeah, January 7th is the new start date, 2021, for where I kind of, you know, judge those people who are actually going to be with us.
00:29:44.000Yeah, and it's important because the regime wanted to destroy the movement after that, all of this progress that we've made.
00:29:53.000And what we need to look back at and then understand is that our movement transcends just Republican and Democrat.
00:30:01.000It's about representation of the people that have felt as if their government has ignored them.
00:30:06.000And so, yeah, it's just and throughout this campaign, I mean, your father faced First ever, four separate criminal trials.
00:30:16.000He faced getting shot, as we well know, and almost getting shot again.
00:30:21.000He had his business empire put in jeopardy, as again, you well know.
00:30:38.000And it's just, it really is one of the most amazing, I think the most amazing political comeback in American history.
00:30:46.000And I challenge anyone to give me something comparable, where it was the closest that we've ever seen to an American president put in exile by the regime, like actually like try to be like, okay, You're done.
00:31:01.000You're not allowed back into our club.
00:31:04.000And the president clawed his way back.
00:31:08.000And also credit to the people in this audience that didn't stop supporting after all of that.
00:31:16.000That's an important point because it's like the American people voted knowing all of that was out there.
00:31:23.000But, like, it was so ridiculous, so oversold.
00:31:26.000I always said, like, you know, and I think I've said it to you in, like, if they went after, like, one thing, like, and truly tried to push that, rather than just, like, sort of, let's just throw everything at a wall and hope something sticks, maybe they'd be able to sell it better.
00:31:39.000But, like, think of all the stuff that they've thrown out there.
00:31:42.000The American public, like, yeah, we know about all of it.
00:31:49.000And it also shows the intellectual and political maturity of the population.
00:31:54.000I mean, if you were to watch any of the advertisements that the Democrats were pouring billions of dollars behind, you would think that the only issues were abortion, And the only issues were like the negative stuff about Donald Trump.
00:32:07.000And it turns out that the price of groceries, having a border, having a strong military, supersedes all of that.
00:32:14.000And so, you know, we look back at this campaign.
00:32:16.000We also have to remember and recognize that there were people within the establishment of the Republican Party that were trying to undermine all of us, undermine you, undermine me, undermine Turning Point.
00:32:34.000For the campaign, and Susie Wiles deserves such credit, and James Blair deserves such credit, because they defied traditional Republican orthodoxy in a lot of different ways, and they trusted their gut.
00:32:45.000And I do want to shout out Susie, because remember back in 2020, without saying any names, it's not worth it, but the fact is that the campaign ran out of money effectively in September of 2020.
00:33:34.000And the way they talk to you and they talk down to you, you're right.
00:33:38.000And I've said this since day one, when we first started hanging out, when you start talking to real Americans in real America, you realize they're actually much more politically sophisticated than than most would realize.
00:33:53.000They just, their priorities are not aligned with a billionaire lunatic from Hollywood because the billionaire lunatic from Hollywood doesn't have to worry about the things that average Americans have to worry about.
00:34:02.000And they can't fathom, you know, that grocery prices could be a real problem, that the people getting randomly murdered, you know, when they have their security details, you know, that that may actually bother people because of the open border or the people that are touched with and killed by fentanyl.
00:34:16.000Like, It's amazing to me that the priorities, there's one or two people that are being intellectually honest on the left, and the rest are just like, no, no, no, we're still all in on crazy, which is special.
00:34:41.000Again, one of my favorite parts of this election, which was the coolest election ever, was me getting down to the floor of the DNC, which just kind of, I think, embodies the whole kind of, like, Trump, you know, like, attitude.
00:34:54.000And so I went down to the floor of the DNC, and I did a show with Cenk from the Young Turks, and he was very worried that Kamala was not doing what's necessary because he said, this is an elitist, plutocrat-run campaign.
00:35:07.000Like, this is not representing voters.
00:35:10.000In fact, it's a very interesting thing.
00:35:13.000There was a chairman of a Democrat party yesterday from Texas, of all places, who just suggested that the trans thing went a little too far.
00:35:23.000Like, hey, guys, you know, in Texas, we just lost by 14 points.
00:35:27.000And basically, his attitude was like, hey, if you're an adult, want to wear a dress, like, no big deal.
00:35:32.000But like, maybe we as Democrats should be a little bit more reasonable on like, nine year olds taking puberty blockers.
00:35:38.000And he got run out of the party within 12 hours.
00:35:40.000Like, I mean, so they have not learned their lesson.
00:36:00.000But, you know, with them, you need to...
00:36:03.000Prescribe 100% to literally every talking point, no matter how radical, no matter how, or you're out.
00:36:09.000Like, I saw that clip, and the guy's like, listen, you know, it's fine, but, like, there's a lot of people in, like, middle America that, like, don't want their daughters playing against a guy, and they may not buy into that, like, you know, trans women are women.
00:36:20.000Like, they're like, you know, they can Pretend they're women.
00:36:22.000They can be, you know, they can say whatever they want.
00:36:36.000And the Democrat Party is so ideologically driven.
00:36:39.000And the way that the president positioned the Republican Party is outside of abstractions and college, you know, academic ideology and said, no, I mean, it is the phrase common sense.
00:36:51.000It's almost like cringe at this point, but it's true, which is that Does it actually materially improve the life of the citizens of the country?
00:37:01.000And let's appreciate also, as we kind of reflect on this campaign, how the president was able to build a once-in-a-generation all-star team and a roster.
00:37:10.000Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy.
00:37:14.000I mean, I don't know what's public and private for some of those names because, I mean, you went to bat and went to war to help build that Avengers team.
00:37:22.000And the table was really set because, you know, you deserve a lot of credit because you saw this realigned.
00:37:28.000Parties are actually changing and we have a chance to kind of pick off some of their all-stars and their celebrities and bring them in because they feel as if there's no place for them.
00:37:36.000And just think a year ago, one year ago, Bobby Kennedy was running for president as a Democrat.
00:38:00.000And this is, you know, we're doing a long-form podcast here, that the new standard is that if you as a candidate cannot sit down and do a three-hour unscripted podcast, you will not ever win another presidential election.
00:38:14.000And I think that, I believe, I would love your thoughts, we do not win the popular vote without Joe Rogan.
00:38:21.000Well, I think, honestly, without Joe Rogan, without Bobby Kennedy, the people, you know, some of those, you know, The suburban moms that care more about health than they do about trans issues.
00:38:30.000Listen, I think, to me, that could have been the biggest one of them all.
00:38:35.000I think Rogan probably seconded on some of those things with independent voters.
00:38:39.000And honestly, what you've done with the youth vote is amazing.
00:38:43.000I mean, when we're winning the youth vote, 18 to 29 in some of these areas, I mean, you know, that's strange that that timeline goes like basically right up to when you basically found a turning point.
00:38:52.000And we've seen that, you know, the climate on college campuses has clearly shifted.
00:38:57.000You know, you mentioned Arizona State.
00:38:59.000It wasn't exactly that hard to get me to do my seventh event that night when it was like, hey, it's a frat party.
00:39:04.000You know, I'm not quite as evangelical as Charlie.
00:39:08.000So it was like when there's 12 young college co-eds being like, "Don, can you take a selfie with me?" I'm like, yes, I can.
00:39:29.000Plain Jane, you know, when we asked like, hey, if your teachers knew that you'd be here, raise your hand if you'd be penalized academically, every hand went up.
00:39:36.000But now I see a massive swarm of people just wanting to get their hands on a MAGA hat.
00:39:43.000You know, they're shouting all the slogans.
00:39:46.000And, you know, it delivered big in Pennsylvania, specifically in, you know, in Center County, the home of State College in Penn State.
00:39:53.000That would have never happened before.
00:39:54.000And, you know, I have to attribute that to you because, I mean, listen, you know, the RNC has shifted a lot.
00:39:59.000They did a great job on certain things, but there's certain things that are just going to, you know, the traditional RNC and even the reformed RNC just wouldn't be able to do.
00:40:32.000And it's as hot as a pistol on YouTube and TikTok and really made a big difference on trying to change how young people viewed politics and view President Trump and viewed that, you know, their whole worldview.
00:40:45.000Secondly, which I think is really important, though, is the ground game, is that we had over 1,000 full-time people in Arizona and Wisconsin registering voters and chasing ballots.
00:40:55.000And you saw some of those events in Arizona, Don.
00:40:58.000And if I may, I will just say with Arizona, you know, I was so bothered.
00:41:03.000It was the running joke on some of our group chats.
00:42:19.000And I mean, we got some resistance when I started pushing it, you know, and I get it like, hey, in an ideal world, I'd love to have same day voting with paper ballots and ID and, you know, all the common sense measures that you see all over the world.
00:42:30.000I'd love to be able to see our states like actually count.
00:42:33.000You know, like Florida, I can count 25 million people, but, you know, but Arizona takes five days.
00:42:58.000And we were able to, what was great about those early numbers, especially Arizona, like some of the earliest voters were like our lowest propensity voters, you know, the one of four on it, you know, four being the guy that's going to You know, crawl through broken glass.
00:43:11.000But, you know, I was like, oh, man, did we just bank all our votes, all our high propensity guys?
00:43:15.000And then, you know, we did that one event.
00:43:16.000There's a thousand people in the room a couple of days into early voting and like no one had actually voted yet.
00:43:20.000Those were the highest propensity voters.
00:43:22.000But we were getting guys who would not normally even vote out there and voting early.
00:43:27.000I mean, you know, with that major success, you know, how do we address that on a state level to make sure these things keep happening or at a federal level to make sure that, you know, we have that chance to compete on the same playing field?
00:43:38.000Because the Democrats have set the field in a lot of these states where we don't control the legislatures, where we don't control these things.
00:43:52.000When we did early voting, it gave us an opportunity day by day to bring lower props into the universe that require three or four contact points.
00:44:01.000So a low prop is a low prop for a reason.
00:44:03.000Maybe because they're not into voting as much, they have questions about voting, or they're just busy, right?
00:44:09.000There's so many working men and women in this country that are busy.
00:44:12.000So our 550 people, if we only had one day to get them to vote, they'd have a very low effective rate.
00:44:19.000Efficacy, because it's like, hey, that carpenter is actually out on a job site until 7 p.m.
00:44:24.000Okay, well, we're not going to get it.
00:44:26.00030 days, though, gives us a chance to contact them three or four times, and eventually, over that 30-day period, have a higher probability of getting their vote into the system.
00:44:35.000So it was a very smart adjustment, and it took one of the Democrats' advantages completely off the table.
00:44:44.000How we get it moving forward really quick.
00:44:46.000We need to celebrate this and then institutionalize it into the zeitgeist and the memory of the Republican Party that we took our country back in 2024, partially because of our embrace of early voting.
00:45:01.000And if we learn that lesson, then we're going to clobber the Democrats on this in election cycles, because if you take early voting away, all of a sudden, A lot of their advantages disappear and evaporate.
00:45:23.000You know, we understand where things are going, but how does Florida, a state of literally almost four or five times the population, you know, they can count all the votes in two and a half hours.
00:45:34.000What's happening in some of these states?
00:45:37.000You know, obviously, you know, the justifiably cynical component of me is like, Hey, the longer they have to count the votes, the longer they have to find a truckload of ballots that magically show up with only the races that are kind of in question filled in perfectly.
00:45:51.000That's the only one they had time to vote for this time around.
00:46:31.000If you have to pre-canvas, whatever it takes, you got to do it.
00:46:36.000The problem, Don, is that there's been this movement out west to embrace universal mail-in voting.
00:46:42.000We're not going to get rid of that immediately, but when you have universal mail-in voting, and this is not to, like, make an argument for them, but they're just so incompetent they can't figure it out, is that the question is, how do you then account for ballots that arrive on Election Day, right?
00:46:58.000Because you have to then open the envelopes and then put them through.
00:47:02.000I think you need to have a force Of hundreds of people dedicated that work 24 hours a day to count those late arrival ballots, and you'll get them all counted in a day.
00:47:14.000Because, look, it is bad for the country and bad for our confidence in elections, and therefore our confidence in our leaders, when it takes five or six days to count votes.
00:47:24.000Because, yes, in Central American countries that are third world dictatorships, This is what they do, is that it takes them four days, and Maduro discovers 95,000 votes, and ta-da!
00:47:39.000So, Charlie, what do you make of this?
00:47:40.000You know, because I think we need Washington Republicans lined up behind my father's agenda.
00:47:47.000But you see the stuff, you know, the Pentagon is figuring out how an elected bureaucrat can thwart what literally is probably the greatest mandate in modern time in terms of, you know, getting things done.
00:47:56.000You see what's happening in the Middle East already.
00:47:59.000Hamas says 12 hours later, like, okay, like, daddy's home, like, we'll come to the table, we want peace.
00:48:06.000And yet, They seem to be trying to thwart him there.
00:48:09.000They're trying to thwart him at the EPA. You know, how do you get Republicans lined up behind the agenda?
00:48:14.000You know, you see the Senate stuff, what's going on with leadership there, and that's all secret ballots.
00:48:18.000So everybody can be like, I'm with you, but no one's going to see who I'm voting for.
00:48:22.000So we'll put like a Mitch McConnell clone, you know, into that spot who will also be, you know, as bad, if not worse than perhaps a Democrat.
00:48:29.000What's your confidence in In that you can assess where we stand in the House, in the Senate.
00:48:38.000Is there a way to get around that, make these things public so that the American people understand who actually is helping, who's on board, and who isn't?
00:48:46.000Yeah, so the House one, the Speaker vote is public.
00:48:50.000The other leadership elections are private.
00:48:52.000I'm less worried about the House because I think they have PTSD from not fulfilling the mandate back in last cycle.
00:48:58.000And I'll cut Speaker Johnson some slack.
00:49:01.000We'll probably have a two or three seat majority.
00:49:03.000And unfortunately, Don, there's going to be some members that are going to jump ship and then go join the administration.
00:49:08.000Which again, guys, if you leave this house and go join the administration, it would be so frustrating.
00:49:48.000So if you have to choose somebody, you want to choose somebody who's currently in an election cycle because then you could threaten a primary in a deep red state like Texas and keep him accountable because John Cornyn would not survive a primary if the, let's say, MAGA faithful were to speak out, right?
00:50:05.000And this is the way that I think we need to start analytically going through this.
00:50:11.000Is that it will take two years to get President Trump's appointments confirmed.
00:50:19.000Whoever it is needs to immediately declare their support that we will have recess appointments.
00:50:26.000And recess appointments means we can fill the entire cabinet overnight or else we'll be waiting years and this election will be for nothing.
00:50:34.000Yeah, and the Democrats, you know, the one thing they're good at is getting 100% in line.
00:50:37.000Every one of them is going to vote that way.
00:50:39.000You don't have, you know, the Romney fallouts and these kinds of people like we do in the Senate.
00:50:43.000You know, so that's a really big deal.
00:50:57.000Unfortunately, we're losing J.D. in the Senate, but I'd love for him because he could actually do that, I guess, as VP. He could still be a leader in the Senate, which would be kind of nice.
00:51:06.000I think he should be Senate Majority Leader.
00:51:21.000Yeah, and the problem is, and I see people blowing me up a lot, they're like, it should be this guy who, you know, who may be great, but it's like, yeah, but he's going to get three votes in a secret ballot, and he's not going to get it.
00:51:29.000And so the real problem with it is, you know, then you go all in for someone, you endorse someone, you don't know what's actually happening, the rhinos take over, and all of a sudden you have a loss on like day seven, You know, and, you know, you lose some of your political capital.
00:51:44.000That's the problem with the whole thing because you have no control over the process.
00:51:47.000I'd love to see all of these guys do these things publicly.
00:51:51.000I'd love to see someone in cycle because, you know, we know plenty of people, myself included, who probably happily moved to Texas just to be like, hey, We got to get this done.
00:51:59.000We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make this happen, to make real changes.
00:52:04.000You have the team that's surrounding my father.
00:52:13.000Yeah, and look, I mean, if John Cornyn becomes leader, I mean, Ronnie Jackson would be someone that would be great to primary him, and he's from the reddest part of the state.
00:52:21.000And again, I'm not beholden to anybody, so I can speak openly about this, which is like, okay, if you are in cycle as a Senate majority leader, then you better do what the president wants.
00:52:31.000Or else that deep red state of Texas won't like you in a primary.
00:52:35.000And we have a lot of good congressmen, you know, Chip Roy, Ronnie Jackson, and Wesley Hunt in the state of Texas that would love the opportunity, right, to become a U.S. Senator from Texas.
00:52:47.000And Texas only becoming red or not bluer.
00:52:49.000Now, and I just want to reiterate this point, which I think is very important, which is that we will not get our core group confirmed.
00:52:58.000If we do not, and I'm talking about like basic stuff, Attorney General, FBI, Senate, CIA, Department of Defense, if we do not act quickly with the US Senate or else, we're going to be in like July and we'll have like five cabinet cabinet positions.
00:53:14.000And that's going to be the Democrats' goal also, to slow roll it, to make it, you know, take off as much time on the clock as possible, to prevent as much of a reset as possible.
00:53:23.000And yeah, we have to be all in on this.
00:53:25.000But Charlie, it's 12.01 Eastern Time on Inauguration Day, January 20th.
00:53:31.000Highlight some of the day one, second one, minute one, whatever it may be, actions that are on top of your ideal to-do list.
00:53:39.000I imagine we're pretty aligned on this one.
00:53:41.000Yeah, again, I'll speak openly not to get you in trouble here.
00:53:44.000I promise, I don't prescribe to any of these things.
00:53:58.000It's a promise that the president made publicly that needs to be done.
00:54:01.000On minute one, day one, I know of tons of libertarians in my social media feed, hundreds of thousands, in fact, that say they voted for the president because of the Ross Ulbricht promise that young man needs to get out of prison.
00:54:14.000Pardon every non-violent January 6th offender and do it in the outer room of the Capitol.
00:54:21.000So Joe Biden went into the outer room of the Capitol and signed all of his executive orders getting rid of the 1776 Commission.
00:54:26.000Do it right there and then that will help heal the country.
00:54:29.000Number three, there needs to be volleys of remain in Mexico, reinstated, allow the Border Patrol their job, re-approve ANWR and all of the oil leases, re-approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
00:54:43.000Remember, Biden got rid of the Keystone XL pipeline Day one, we need to reinstitute it immediately.
00:54:52.000In addition, I think the president needs to make sure he has acting directors lined up at all these agencies.
00:55:00.000Remember last time, Sally Yates, that hangover from the Obama administration, she took over the AG's office temporarily while it was technically our We're good to
00:55:31.000And then the big fight is that I think the president needs to fire a certain subset of federal workers and say that for cause, for example, there's 87,000 IRS agents, maybe fire a couple hundred of them and then force a legal challenge to make sure that it's clear that the president can fire civil service employees.
00:55:51.000That's just off the top of my head, Don.
00:55:52.000There's a lot of other ideas that I know that are cooking.
00:56:18.000I know that he wants to do it day one, including, and then also full pardons for Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro for what they went through, which is just completely outrageous.
00:56:28.000And yeah, I just think that's minute one, day one.
00:56:31.000That would be what I would like to see happen.
00:57:21.000You have to build up to your big legislative achievement.
00:57:23.000I think H.R. 1 needs to be a border supplemental bill that allows more Border Patrol agents, power for deportation, gives money for the judges on the border, and get it done in the first, like, three weeks.
00:58:35.000But the problem is that it's like the overt police enforcement that we've seen with that.
00:58:41.000And then I'd love to see a bill of the kind of no tax trio, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, and have the Democrats vote against that.
00:59:08.000And then also, I just think we need to deregulate all the Biden regulations and get back to the Trump economy and the Trump economic spirit.
00:59:20.000I'm not exactly sure on the legislative side of this.
00:59:24.000But whatever it takes for the president to use our liquid gold and bring down the price of oil is one of the most important things to stem inflation and restore confidence in the American economy.
00:59:36.000And by the way, ending the Russian-Ukrainian war and the Israeli situation in the Middle East will bring oil down significantly.
00:59:43.000As those tensions are high, The oil markets go up because they're worried about embargoes.
00:59:50.000So peace, the Middle East will bring down the price of oil significantly.
00:59:55.000So that's the first 100 days from my estimation.
00:59:58.000And then there's a ton of other stuff that the president has pledged to do that he could do by executive order, saying that we will not give federal funding if you teach critical race theory in schools.
01:00:08.000Diversity, equity, inclusion in schools will put up with that.
01:00:11.000Or in the military, or in the VA system, or any of these governmental agencies.
01:00:15.000Yeah, he never pledged to do this, but he danced around with it.
01:00:18.000But I think Daywani has to fire every general involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal.
01:00:23.000As long as it doesn't jeopardize national security and you have replacements, which I'm sure it will.
01:00:27.000The problem is they'll always say that it will, but it won't.
01:00:31.000The three and four star generals, they're political figures at this point.
01:00:35.000The guys that are the war fighters, it ends at about two star.
01:00:38.000And everyone else at that point is like an Obama political appointee.
01:00:41.000So it's not going to jeopardize anything.
01:00:43.000If anything, if you get rid of those clowns and let the war fighters actually make the decision, we're going to be much, much safer and much better off.
01:00:49.000Yeah, and then we have to reclassify the Mexican drug cartels as a terrorist organization.
01:00:54.000We need to throw RICO cases at any nonprofit or charity that is assisted in the smuggling or sex trafficking of children on the southern border.
01:01:02.000Some of the NGO stuff funded by the government de facto allowing this to happen.
01:01:05.000Those people should go to jail for what they've been doing.
01:01:08.000So whomever is the new Attorney General and his or her office, whoever it is, needs to go in and make that a top priority in the first 100 days.
01:01:18.000And then we need to have a little Peace and Reconciliation Commission.
01:01:21.000We need to have the JFK files released, hopefully.
01:01:24.000That is another pledge that was made during the campaign.
01:01:28.000And then we need to find out exactly to the extent that the Biden regime was targeting us.
01:02:36.000And look, the president has a mandate and the American people gave him this mandate.
01:02:41.000And legislatively, it's going to be the toughest fight because the Senate is just awful and they just don't listen to their voters.
01:02:48.000That's why I think you have to start with border and get a significant border victory.
01:02:53.000And then I think you have to, from the White House communication standpoint, Every hour on the hour, and this is something that you and I know really well as media, whoever ends up getting those jobs, I'm going to be heavily pressuring them.
01:03:05.000Like, hey guys, you need to play offense every day.
01:03:37.000And then that will build consensus and momentum to allow us to continue to fulfill the mandate for the federal government in a very special and powerful way.
01:03:48.000And you go back, this is what's really important, is that the president's promises were unchanged from the primary to the general.
01:03:56.000Any Republican consultant would say you can't run on mass deportations.
01:04:00.000Well, he did, and he won the most Hispanic county in America.
01:05:14.000What does personnel look like to you this time around, especially in the intel community and on the border?
01:05:20.000What are your thoughts on, you know, no Pompeo, no Haley?
01:05:23.000You know, whether it be, again, in an acting capacity or a Senate confirmed position, I think we really have a great roster to choose from.
01:05:30.000I think the first time around we had loyal and you had competent and you have a couple people that are both, but we didn't know which was which.
01:05:35.000So you could get loyal but not competent and that doesn't help.
01:05:38.000Competent but not loyal also doesn't help.
01:06:07.000So we're just doing what the American people gave us permission to do.
01:06:10.000Kamala Harris lost on a warmongering Liz Cheney agenda, okay, with having CIA chiefs at her convention.
01:06:17.000So, look, as far as personnel, there's a great roster, and we all know the names, Tulsi, Bobby Kennedy, Vivek, and there's a willingness to serve.
01:06:26.000And I don't want to share too much private details, Don, but you know this, the sophistication And the depth of this transition versus 2016, it is, I mean, it's not even the same galaxy.
01:08:16.000Go to 5gfree.com slash triggered, like the name of the show, 5gfree.com slash triggered or use promo code triggered at checkout and save 15% off your first order.
01:08:29.000Okay, so, Don, what can you tell us about the transition?
01:08:47.000I just want to make sure the people who I know were either subversive at the time, We're too heavily tied to the deep state or to the rhinos that they don't have an opportunity to stymie the agenda.
01:08:58.000We're going to make sure those guys don't have a seat at the table.
01:09:00.000And so, you know, some of that may or may not have come up in a meeting the other day.
01:09:04.000It's pretty incredible sitting in there with the transition team and Elon and DJT. I mean, it's, you know, and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi has been in some of these meetings.
01:09:11.000I mean, you know, the Avenger thing is really happening.
01:09:55.000It's a really organized structure right now.
01:09:58.000Howard Lutnick's done an incredible job with that.
01:10:00.000I mean, he's running it like Like a business and like, you know, he's hired thousands of people in Wall Street and traders like he just knows how to do it showing presentations for my father.
01:10:07.000And then the guys that, you know, were in there at the time who've been kind of the day one loyalists and also loyal on like January 7th, 2021.
01:10:15.000The people who are both the guys that know, you know, they're in there.
01:10:19.000Nope, that guy was bad for X, Y, Z reason.
01:10:21.000That person was great for this Y reason.
01:10:49.000When the illegal migrant caravans are literally turning around and self-deporting before they even get here, it just makes our job so much easier.
01:11:42.000I guess they don't have to worry about the crime and the this that's been coming in because they're probably wealthy enough to be protected from that, so they don't care.
01:11:49.000They'd rather, you know, preach about it.
01:11:51.000But, yeah, there's not been a lot of energy, you know, in the protest movement.
01:13:28.000So I have a feeling, I think I tweeted it, the only person happier on Wednesday morning when they woke up after Election Day, after me, was probably Joe Biden.
