Speaker 1 Breaking news. There's so much breaking news.
Tulsi Gabbard confirmed his DNI director.

Speaker 1 We got Scott Besant going to Ukraine, who might join the program in the second hour plan to, but that might change. But major, massive breaking news.

Speaker 1 Some of the best news that I personally have seen since President Donald Trump got sworn in three weeks ago.

Speaker 1 President Donald Trump just posted on Truth Social, and we're going to go word for word for this because it's so important that he just had a highly productive phone call with Vladimir Putin from Russia.

Speaker 1 What we're about to read here

Speaker 1 is profound, substantive, and one of the most promising geopolitical developments since the Iraq war.

Speaker 1 It is one of the most promising things that I have seen and that we are experiencing in the pursuit of peace, American dominance, in the pursuit of fiscal sanity, in the pursuit of lives no longer being needlessly and senselessly slaughtered.

Speaker 1 So we're going to break this down, word for word. This is breaking news in just the last 10 minutes here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
Quote, this is President Trump writing about his phone call.

Speaker 1 I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Now, let me pause.
Joe Biden would not be dialoguing directly with Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 1 He would go through back channels, if even that.

Speaker 1 According to Tucker Carlson and according to many other people who have visited Russia, the Russian government would claim, and they're known to lie quite a lot, that they did not have a good way to contact the American government.

Speaker 1 We were not even talking to one another.

Speaker 1 Let me continue. President Trump writes, We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, artificial intelligence, the power of the dollar.
Let me pause.

Speaker 1 President Donald Trump is bragging and forcefully putting forth an American dominance narrative right in Vladimir Putin's face.

Speaker 1 You see, a lot of people are going to say, oh, Donald Trump bent the knee. No, no, no, no.
He's saying, oh, we have the power of the dollar. Why don't you use the dollar?

Speaker 1 This Bricks thing, we're going to break it apart. Donald Trump is showing American dominance right to Vladimir Putin's face.
Let me continue. And various other subjects.

Speaker 1 This is one of my favorite parts.

Speaker 1 We both reflected on the great history of our nations and the fact we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we likewise lost so many.

Speaker 1 The Intel community and the consensus in Washington, D.C. is that you shall never say a good word about Russian history or culture.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's just a gas station with nuclear weapons. No, Russian culture and history is very deep, very complex, somewhat beautiful, somewhat dark.
Some of the greatest authors have come from Russia.

Speaker 1 Some of the greatest composers, some of the greatest achievements of humanity have come from Russia. That's not a society that I would live in.

Speaker 1 They don't respect freedom of speech or liberty the way we do. But they're the first man in space.
From Dostoevsky

Speaker 1 to the great composers to Trotsky and so many others.

Speaker 1 This is not a culture that we should scoff at. This is not just a gas station with nuclear weapons.
They were once a world superpower, and they still have a sense of pride.

Speaker 1 And yes, they stepped up and helped us defeat the Nazis.

Speaker 1 Continues here. We each talked about the strength of our respective nations and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together.

Speaker 1 This is President Trump trying to offer, hey, why do we hate each other? And by the way, you're welcome to email me, freedom at charliekirk.com. Why do we hate Russia?

Speaker 1 Why is Russia an enemy of the United States? The cartels aren't an enemy of the United States. They're killing my neighbors in Scottsdale.

Speaker 1 The cartels are killing our fellow countrymen in Colorado, Ohio, every single day. I'm not saying we have to be best friends with Russia, but why do we hate Russia? Why do we hate them?

Speaker 1 Oh, they said angry things. They said mean things.

Speaker 1 What fundamental interest of ours is endangered by Russia? You can email me, freedom at charliekirk.com, and don't use abstractions. Don't say Putin's a bad man.

Speaker 1 What danger does Russia pose to us, except that we are close to a nuclear war because the former State Department was insistent on fighting them?

Speaker 1 A lot of countries do bad things. We do bad things.
Our government has done bad things. Why do we hate Russia? No, seriously, make that argument.

Speaker 1 Come to our campus tour and tell me why we should be at war against Russia because we basically are. We are at war with Russia via proxy.
We have been in a hot kinetic war against Russia.

Speaker 1 And only thanks largely to Vladimir Putin's restraint do we not have missiles flying into America because American missiles are flying into Russia.

Speaker 1 The whole Russian-Ukrainian project is largely built on, oh, Vladimir Putin wouldn't do that. Well, I thought he's a madman that's going to march through Europe.
So which one is it?

Speaker 1 Is that Vladimir Putin is going to march all through Europe tomorrow, like Adolf Hitler?

Speaker 1 Or is it that, oh, don't worry, we can launch missiles into his hometown and do drone strikes in Moscow, but Vladimir Putin won't do that because he's smarter than that. So, which one is it exactly?

Speaker 1 It's the Russian paradox. But first,

Speaker 1 as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war in Russia-Ukraine.

Speaker 1 Now, I don't know if it's been millions of deaths, but if you count famine, starvation, people that have been displaced, millions of lives have been irreversibly damaged, casualties, at least a million.

Speaker 1 So that's spot on. President Putin even used my very strong campaign motto of common sense.
And let me tell you how the media is going to do this. I'm going to do the rush limbo right now.

Speaker 1 The media is going to attack Donald Trump, saying that Vladimir Putin flattered Trump and tried to play to his ego by using campaign motto, and then Trump gave him the whole farm.

Speaker 1 That's a bunch of nonsense.

Speaker 1 Don't fall for that. Instead, you have a dialogue happening one-on-one, not intelligency to intel agency, not bureaucrat to bureaucrat, not administrative state to administrative state.

Speaker 1 You have principal to principle. You have leader to leader.
And by the way, if Vladimir Putin is using common sense, he's right.

Speaker 1 There is no common sense for us to continue to supply American weaponry in Ukraine towards what aim and objective.

Speaker 1 We both believe very strongly in it. We agreed to work together very closely.
Oh, and here's the big news, everybody.

Speaker 1 It's the big one. You ready? It's going to shake the very body politic of D.C.
You can feel the trembling, the screaming, the rancor,

Speaker 1 the, I can't believe they're going to do it. Oh, and I love this.
This is my favorite part. We both agreed to visit each other's nations.
That's right. President Donald Trump is going to go to Russia.

Speaker 1 You know who else went to Russia? Ronald Reagan went to Russia. So before you allow the media to propagandize you, Ronald Reagan visited Russia.
That's right. Did you know that?

Speaker 1 During all the Cold War antagonism, Ronald Reagan stepped up like a baller and visited Russia.

Speaker 1 And yeah, Vladimir Putin should visit America. I don't know if he'll get a warm welcome or not a warm welcome, but I want to hear him out.

Speaker 1 I think Vladimir Putin should sit down for a long interview on the Charlie Kirk show. I think Vladimir Putin should down with a long interview with Joe Rogan.

Speaker 1 I think Vladimir Putin should go to Austin, Texas, and sit down with Joe Rogan and let's hear his side out.

Speaker 1 I don't think he'll be into the marijuana stuff, but you never know.

Speaker 1 Have a little back and forth. Go on the Joe Rogan experience.
Come to our country. We will treat Vladimir Putin respectfully.
Now, I'm not his biggest fan.

Speaker 1 By the way, there's Ronald Reagan going to Russia.

Speaker 1 So, before all these apparatchiks on TV start screaming and cattleing about, oh, Trump's going to go to Russia, that's Ronald Reagan in the midst of the height of nuclear proliferation

Speaker 1 visiting Russia.

Speaker 1 During all the cattle that we're going to go towards a nuclear apocalypse, that's Ronald Reagan visiting Russia.

Speaker 1 And I think Putin should come here. And

Speaker 1 he will be met with respect and honor and dignity.

Speaker 1 Your allegiance should always be to your homeland, to your country. But just because the CIA tells you to hate Russia doesn't mean you need to hate Russia.

Speaker 1 President Trump is thinking outside the box for you, the American citizen, to avoid a senseless nuclear war.

Speaker 4 While we may have won this election, the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning. Now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge.

Speaker 4 As America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, Patriot Mobile offers a way to vote with your wallet without compromising on quality or convenience.

Speaker 1 This is Trump at his best. It is 10 out of 10 Trump.

Speaker 1 This is why we work so hard to get him in office. It's why you work so hard to get him in office.
That's why all of you guys knocked on doors and chased ballots and came to our Commit 100 program.

Speaker 1 Because we saw what Joe Biden and not Joe Biden,

Speaker 1 the senior staff of Washington, D.C. were doing with this Russia conflict.

Speaker 1 They were barreling us blindly towards maybe a nuclear conflict, but definitely a hot war, which we were already funding, financing, and heavily involved in.

Speaker 1 And Trump is a true believer in making a deal. Go to Russia.
Why not? Why can't I do that? Reagan did that. Why can't I go to Russia? Oh, no, you can't do it.
Same reason he went to North Korea.

Speaker 1 Go sit down with Vladimir Putin. Strike a deal.
End the killing. You see, but D.C.
is full of

Speaker 1 below-average operator bureaucrats that are infected with the same disease.

Speaker 1 It's not about peace, it's about war. It's not about prosperity, it's about a quagmire.

Speaker 1 President Trump continues: We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we'll begin by calling Zelensky of Ukraine to inform him of the conversation.

Speaker 1 Something I'll be doing right now.

Speaker 1 By the way, I think this is all incredibly interesting timing.

Speaker 1 JD is at the Munich Security Conference this weekend. Woof.

Speaker 1 Oh, the shadow government and the deep state, they are not happy. They want more people dead.
The shadow government's fine, a million people dead. Let me be as morally clear as I possibly can.

Speaker 1 Joe Biden rejecting peace deals that, by the way, would have been even better for Ukraine in 2022 than they are today in 2025,

Speaker 1 which got over a million people killed. Joe Biden will be responsible for one of the greatest crimes against humanity of this generation.
Probably up there with George W. Bush.
Completely senseless.

Speaker 1 And Joe Biden and Tony Blinken and Kamala Harris and that entire cabal of criminals. They said, oh, no, we can't broker peace.

Speaker 1 But now the peace deal that is on the table is far better for Russia than the one if they would have accepted that. And we told them in Istanbul, you got to take this deal.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, no, no, can't do that because we can't bend an eat to Russia. And these people are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of women and children.

Speaker 1 I've asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who's doing a great job, by the way. Great job.
Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe, Michael Walls, and more to lead negotiations, Steve Witkoff.

Speaker 1 I feel strongly will be successful. Millions of people have died in a war that never would have happened if I was president, but it did happen, so it must end.
So no more lives should be lost.

Speaker 1 I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call and for the release yesterday of Mark Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House.

Speaker 1 By the way, here's the front page of the Wall Street Journal, Mark Fogel. Joe Biden didn't get him home.
Right there, kissing the ground when he comes into America.

Speaker 1 And by the way, Zelensky says today that he hopes to finalize agreements with the United States at the Munich Security Conference that would ensure continued U.S.

Speaker 1 support for Ukraine as it fights Russia invasion. I'm totally against no more money for Ukraine.
That's my stated position. You're on your own, buddy.
End the war.

Speaker 1 We're not going to have another Afghanistan here. You're not coming into NATO.
By the way, Pete Hagseth came out today. He said, no, NATO.
But no guaranteed assurances for Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 1 This guy is laundering money in every possible direction. He's running guns, probably back to the Mexican drug cartels.
There's some evidence to suggest that

Speaker 1 he's an Intel opera. He's an Intel op.
He wants war.

Speaker 1 I believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion and hopefully soon.

Speaker 1 This all comes down to a fundamental question: What do we want with Ukraine and Russia? When war broke out, we were so clear on this program. We were so clear

Speaker 1 that this is not going to end well.

Speaker 1 We asked the right questions, and unfortunately, a million people had to die to get us to the place here.

Speaker 1 Our long-term interest is clearly that we should be allies with Russia. Clearly.
For our first 150 years, we were. And again, I want somebody to tell me, anyone in the Intel operation, come up to me.

Speaker 1 Please tell me, lawmaker, whatever, why do we hate Russia? Don't tell me because the CIA put you in some skiff and scared you with a bunch of woo-woo voodoo.

Speaker 1 Russia was an ally in the revolution. It was an ally in the Civil War.

Speaker 1 And yes, of course, they had the 1917 revolution both in February and October of that year that Vladimir Lenin led and changed that country profoundly.

Speaker 1 But when chips were down, we decided to ally with Russia against

Speaker 1 the Axis. We went into a Cold War, and then we won the Cold War, and we even

Speaker 1 said in a gesture we want them in NATO. And then our intel agency said no, they wanted to be involved in NATO.

Speaker 1 This is President Trump at his best. The peace president.

Speaker 1 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. Brand new year, brand new opportunities to change the world for the better.
It's easier than you might think.

Speaker 1 You can save babies by providing ultrasounds with pre-born.

Speaker 1 Together with the sanctity of human life month, we're going to save 35,000 babies to show the world that not only do we believe life is precious, but we're going to do something about it.

Speaker 1 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice. What better way to start this new year than to join us to save babies?

Speaker 1 And $28 a month will save a baby a month all year long. A $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

Speaker 1 It will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret. I am a donor to this organization, and you should be too.
Start this new year by being a hero for life.

Speaker 1 Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com. That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.
I'm a donor. You should be too.
CharlieKirk.com, pre-born banner.

Speaker 1 Joining us now is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from the great state of Oklahoma. Senator, great to see you.
Congratulations, your friend Tulsi Gabbard is now the director of national intelligence.

Speaker 1 How did that happen? Big, big win.

Speaker 5 It was a huge win, huge win.

Speaker 5 In fact, she just texted me right now with a heart and so we're uh we're we're super excited for her i i will tell you tulsi came up here and fought for every single yes vote uh it's it's shameful that the democrat party to which she was part of for so long that's all about inclusion and diversity right uh didn't care what she had to say and then they came out and slam her if uh you know when she was running for this because you and i both know that if she was nominated by biden she would have been she would have sell through and the democrats would have loved her but that's not what it's about up here tulsi is going to be excellent.

Speaker 5 You know, a lot of people, they, and Gerald, I know you know the history of it. And I, you know, your lot of your listeners know the history of it, but DNI doesn't gather any intelligence.

Speaker 5 You know, they were, they were created after 9-11 to make sure that there was all the other 18 agencies that we gather intelligence from was actually sharing the information and we could present it the best information to the president of the United States.

Speaker 5 And Tulsi will be able to do that in an unredacted form because underneath Director Hines, who is the director underneath the Biden administration, she just redacted everything and Congress never got the information.

Speaker 5 And who knows who was getting it in the White House?

Speaker 5 I'm completely excited and ecstatic about what Tulsi is going to do with the intelligent agencies. It's so overdue.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And so then today's also Bobby.
Is that right? I mean, you've been doing these great social media videos that have kind of keeping me on pace. So is Bobby coming up today or tomorrow?

Speaker 5 Yeah. So we already invoked closure on Bobby.
We think we can possibly strike a deal to have Bobby confirmed late tonight.

Speaker 5 Even though

Speaker 5 we voted on Tulsi at 11 o'clock today

Speaker 5 Eastern time, the issue that we had was they didn't want to come in at 1230 because the clock on her actually ran out at 1233. So at 1 a.m.,

Speaker 5 we started the

Speaker 5 30-hour count on Bobby. So that 30 hours at that point will run out at

Speaker 5 7 a.m.

Speaker 5 tomorrow morning we're going to vote on him at 7 a.m or they're going to let us vote on it on him this evening so we can start the clock immediately then on on um i i believe the next one will be up will be uh um

Speaker 5 either i think kelly will be the next one up uh and and then that that 30 hours will start what we're really discussing here jarled though just kind of give you some inside baseball is there's 12 democrats that are wanting to leave to go to munich thursday night because they're wanting to go to that climate ordeal or whatever it is that's going on over there.

Speaker 1 Swanky thing in Munich. That's right.

Speaker 5 Yeah, a swanky thing that I'm not going to. Good for you.

Speaker 5 There's a real discussion that we've been having with Thune

Speaker 5 about saying that we've got to clear

Speaker 5 all these nons. We have five up today.
We have Howard, or this week, we have Howard, Brooke, and Kelly left. And to clear all them before they leave on Thursday,

Speaker 5 I think we should do it. I think we should hold that trip hostage for Democrats without saying go,

Speaker 5 but we have to get sign-off on to do that too. We've got to talk the OBM,

Speaker 5 the

Speaker 5 director of office management and budget

Speaker 5 has to sign off on it too.

Speaker 5 And so

Speaker 5 we have to work with the White House to make sure we can get that done.

Speaker 5 But Thune's all for it. If it's possible to do it, Thune's all for it saying, if you want to go,

Speaker 5 release Howard, Kelly, and Brooke, and we'll move forward with it.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't think this is a close call, Senator. I mean, you and I agree.
I mean, they want to go wine and dine with the European elites and oligarchs on taxpayer money.

Speaker 1 We're not going to put up with these kind of holds. We're not going to do this.
I know that the Senate is a very, you know,

Speaker 1 collegial. We're going to look out for you, but come on.
This is, we're, we're, I think that's a little outrageous. You want to go party in Munich, give us our nominees.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and see, but like I said, it takes,

Speaker 5 Lethune can't do it on him on his own. It has to take, it takes a little bit of collaboration from the White House too to do this.

Speaker 5 And so it really depends on if they want to fight on this that much, because at the end of the day,

Speaker 5 the president can

Speaker 5 ground the planes. He did this to Plosi.
Remember

Speaker 5 when we were in a shutdown and President Trump's first term, Plosi was leaving on this huge Codell. And on their way to Andrews Air Force Base, the president canceled their trip and said you can't go.

Speaker 5 So the president ultimately is the one that has to close it. So

Speaker 5 the really thing is, does he want to fight on this one and cause that kind of problem moving forward? There's a lot of politics behind it, but I'm saying yes. I say yes, pull it.
Let's do it.

Speaker 5 Let's get all of them done.

Speaker 1 I totally agree. And by the way, they're going to say, oh, it's national security.
Look, it's not national security. Okay.
We got the vice president in Munich. We got Bescent in Ukraine.

Speaker 1 We got all of our best guys all over Europe negotiating. We don't need another 12 Democrat senators.

Speaker 1 I think that's a bunch of.

Speaker 5 A bunch of senators flying in isn't going to change one thing, Charlie. No, it's one thing.

Speaker 1 No, it's actually refreshing to hear a senator say that. So

Speaker 1 let me now ask about the federal judges.

Speaker 1 These judges are completely out of control. There was some breaking news.

Speaker 1 A federal judge has ruled, thankfully, actually, one of the good decisions finally, that President Trump does, in fact, have constitutional authority to freeze or limit certain funding.

Speaker 1 This means the Trump White House can now withhold funding without the district

Speaker 1 court's prior approval. But there are other injunctions that are happening in the most radical senses, especially out of New York and those districts, that are so outrageous.
Senator, I know this is a

Speaker 1 serious question, and so I don't mean to put you on the spot, but is there a threshold where impeachment of federal judges would be considered?

Speaker 5 The threshold's real high on that. And then I don't really know how much room we have in the Senate to do this.

Speaker 5 What I would like to see, and I propose this, and actually when I was in the House, is to have a board set up, either a board that goes, that is made up of just our Supreme Court justice, that

Speaker 5 when a district judge um in this case is getting overruled on constitutional authority then at so many times they get removed or get put on probation and then eventually get removed because we see this all the time that judges are making decisions based on 100 political feelings and that was where the that's that's why our judges were supposed to be appointed so they'd be above politics but it's it you know we find

Speaker 5 republicans and democrats we judge shop all the time to try to find a judge that's going to be favorable to us if it would just be simply based on constitutional authority, period, and not your opinion or your political opinion, then we'd be fine with that.

Speaker 5 But there's got to be some accountability that's brought to these judges that are appointed to a lifetime bench, because otherwise we're going to continue and it's going to just get worse.

Speaker 5 So Congress is going to have to take a hard look at this. The White House is going to take a hard look at this.
This should be honestly bipartisan.

Speaker 5 If we try to do it on a partisan basis, we'll be opening a whole can of worms.

Speaker 5 If we do this on a bipartisan basis and actually build a hold accountable, hold these judges accountable, much like our constituents are supposed to hold us accountable, then I think you'll see a lot more clarity happen in the courts.

Speaker 5 The DOJ, Department of Justice, is supposed to be really for the people. I mean, the House is for the people.

Speaker 5 Congress is for the people, but

Speaker 5 the courts are what holds the executive branch and the legislative branch accountable for the people because it's supposed to interpret 100% our bill of rights and our Constitution.

Speaker 5 And unfortunately, you're seeing political rulings come off the bench more often than you actually see constitutional rulings.

Speaker 1 Well, and to reiterate that point, we saw this in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Israel, where a weaponized judiciary basically runs the entire country.

Speaker 1 And the sovereign aren't there, and you kind of have a philosopher-king ruling class, a legal oligarchy that starts to set in. And Brazil is the best example, Israel to a lesser extent.

Speaker 1 And so, can you explain more what your idea is just so I understand it of how we could prevent that?

Speaker 5 Well, what our deal is, is so you use this judge that just got overruled

Speaker 5 and you say, okay, well, this is strike one. You just got overruled, constitutionally speaking, so you didn't interpret it correctly.
Give us your findings. What made you decide to do this?

Speaker 5 Have a higher court actually go over his findings and say, this is how I made the decision. This was the opinions I came up with.

Speaker 5 And this is the opinions I've based it on, either previous case law or constitutional purposes.

Speaker 5 And if he can't explain that, why he, how he came up with that, and it actually made sense, then he gets brought up to a higher court to say, do you get put on probation?

Speaker 5 Strike one, strike two, or strike three before you get on probation.

Speaker 5 If you continue down that road, then you're going to be put, and what I mean by probation, at that point, you'll have another court overlooking your decisions, and you're going to have to explain those decisions prior to them being made.

Speaker 5 That's what probation would look like. If you continue down that road, once you get on probation, then you'll be removed from the bench.

Speaker 5 So it's the same thing as impeaching them, but it's not, the impeachment has been used for political power now. This would be the courts holding the courts accountable.

Speaker 5 So judges holding judges accountable, much like lawyers with the bar association holds lawyers accountable.

Speaker 1 Well, and just to reiterate the point, we have more than 200

Speaker 1 district court judges. It is not sustainable to our republic for every random district judge to think their gavel gives them the power to veto over a presidency.

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's right. The president of the United States, the bill to override the president of the United States, a district judge can uphold that hearing.

Speaker 5 That should be stopped itself. So what level

Speaker 5 does that need to be heard at? Is it Supreme Court that needs to be taking up these decisions?

Speaker 5 The problem with you having a Supreme Court decision, then

Speaker 5 there's no court to go over them. So there is a balance that has to be made.
And Charlie, honestly, I haven't even put a lot of thought in that one.

Speaker 1 So President Trump's team is moving at a rapid pace. As I mentioned, the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besant, is in Ukraine.

Speaker 1 President Trump had a favorable and promising phone call with Putin this morning. But a minute and a half, Senator, your

Speaker 1 thoughts on the developing diplomacy happening between Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Gaza. I mean, we got a lot going on here.
Help me understand it.

Speaker 5 You know, the greatest president we had seen in our lifetime, Charlie, well, I put myself in your category. I really don't know how old you are, but was Ron Reagan.

Speaker 5 And he believed in peace through strength. And

Speaker 5 he was able to bring down the USSR by being friends with Gorbachev and brought down the wall, right? And what you see with

Speaker 5 President Trump Trump is he is, he's not necessarily being friends with Putin, but he's keeping a relationship and a dialogue with him, and he believes in peace through strength.

Speaker 5 And he's willing to use strength if peace doesn't work. Biden was never in this position to be able to do it because there was no respect for Biden.

Speaker 5 There was no respect for him because he was trying to use appeasement through strength and appeasement through diplomacy. It doesn't work that way.
And so President

Speaker 5 Trump, by being able to talk directly to Putin, will be able to bring an end to the war because he'll also be able to say, listen, Zelensky, you're going to have to compromise somewhere in this.

Speaker 5 The war is not going great for you. We're not going to continue to fund this.
There's been a lot of questions about it. You know, maybe Crimea isn't going to be part of

Speaker 5 Ukraine much any longer. I'm not saying that's part of it, but I believe there's a compromise and a negotiation to end the killing over there.

Speaker 5 And that's what President Trump wants to do is end the killing. And Putin isn't in a good position because he knows he has a new sheriff in the White House, and it's called President Trump.

Speaker 1 Senator, keep up the great work. Thank you, as always, and do what you can to make sure that a vacation in Munich doesn't get in the way of our cabinet.
Thank you, Senator.

Speaker 5 Absolutely. Thanks, Charlie.

Speaker 1 I want to take a step back. I just want you to see what's happening.
You have four, maybe five people, all of which

Speaker 1 immediately would be a far better president than anything Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is. And this kind of team of all-stars does not come come together very often.

Speaker 1 What President Trump has selected and assembled is remarkable. You got J.D.
Vance giving a 10 out of 10 speech at the AI Summit in Paris, France. 10 out of 10 J.D.
Vance speech in Paris, France.

Speaker 1 And then he's going to the Munich Security Conference. You got Scott Bessant, who is going to Ukraine to help negotiate an end to all the killing.

Speaker 1 And then you have...

Speaker 1 Marco Rubio, front lines negotiating the release of hostages, as we have here on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 1 Also, Marco Rubio solving all this Guatemalan, El Salvadorian, Honduran nonsense,

Speaker 1 getting all those countries in order and in place, like Colombia and many others. And then, on top of that, you got Christy Noam laying down the hammer with Tom Holman against the illegal invasion.

Speaker 1 Do you know what's not getting a lot of headlines? And do you know this is the brilliance of Elon Musk

Speaker 1 and President Trump? Do you notice they're attacking Elon more than President Trump?

Speaker 1 It's almost like a media diversionary tactic.

Speaker 1 And just so we're clear, there is plenty of precedent for what Elon Musk is doing as well.

Speaker 1 From Harry Hopkins to Bernard Baruch, who basically was an outside Elon Musk industrialist who came and ran the industrial capacity during World War II.

Speaker 1 But you have this entire team of rock stars.

Speaker 1 Elon, Besant, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Christy Noam, and then on top of it, Pete Hagseth.
Pete Hagseth. Do you know what Pete Hegseth was doing yesterday morning?

Speaker 1 Pete Hegseth woke up at the crack of dawn, 0500, as they say in the military world, and did PT

Speaker 1 with our nation's most chiseled

Speaker 1 warriors.

Speaker 1 That's right, Pete Hagseth was up at 0,500

Speaker 1 doing weights in a parking lot,

Speaker 1 running PT.

Speaker 1 By the way, this leadership team is all people that I don't care what's said about them. Can we get the compare and contrast of Pete Hagseth and Lloyd Austin?

Speaker 1 Do we have the video, by the way, of him doing the workout?

Speaker 1 Of Pete Hagseth doing a workout alongside our troops? You have Lloyd Austin, who could not even walk up the stairs without losing his breath.

Speaker 1 You got Mark Milley, who is at least 100 pounds overweight. And then you got Pete Hegseth winning the morale of the troops.
Imagine if you are an enlisted Marine in Germany.

Speaker 1 Imagine if you are a Marine in Germany, and all of a sudden the Secretary of Defense shows up

Speaker 1 to start lifting weights with you. And it wasn't just weights.
He did the whole regiment routine. That's your Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 1 And meanwhile, you had Lloyd Austin, who's a joke and an insult to all of our senses,

Speaker 1 who had to be hospitalized secretly and privately.

Speaker 1 You got Hegseth running miles in the morning. Meanwhile, you got Marko Rubio saying, nope, no more invasion from Nicaragua.
This is a team of rock stars, the Avengers squad.

Speaker 1 And then you got Tulsi Gabber to DNI.

Speaker 1 If they just, if they can't even focus their fire on one of these people. And there it is, Pete Hegseth right there.
He did the full workout with our best and brightest.

Speaker 1 You think Lloyd Austin could do that? I don't think Lloyd Austin could shake that many hands without having to cap size over. That guy needed a wheelchair for half of his tenure.
And look at these.

Speaker 1 Pete Hexeth lifting the weights,

Speaker 1 doing the work of the media. Couldn't even find a way to mock this.
Go to the next image. Hegseth running right there in the morning.
That guy's

Speaker 1 like a Hulk.

Speaker 1 He did the whole program, and he'll continue to do that.

Speaker 1 That's how you win over the rank and file. And now this is becoming like legend amongst the military.
The guys in the military can't stop talking about this. They are just blowing me up.

Speaker 1 They're blowing people up. Guys, I know this is the coolest thing ever.
We have the most insane person in the military. This is 113, your new director of national intelligence.

Speaker 1 And by the way, enlistment is going off the charts.

Speaker 1 Lloyd Austin couldn't do that. Mark Milley couldn't do that.
It's such a morale reset.

Speaker 1 You can rest easy that we have this incredible team of qualified, ambitious patriots that are saving Western civilization. And it's not just Trump.
Trump has empowered this energized force.

Speaker 1 And we're only three weeks in. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
