	Thank you.
	What a week it has been.
	After 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.
	We have to end all of this nonsense and get everything back on track.
	To all the veterans watching, I want to sincerely wish you a very, very happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service.
	Veterans are such a huge part of the American First Movement and are at the center of my father's most profound promises.
	We're going to finish the job in the second term.
	We're going to fix everything Biden broke at the VA and we're going to forge a path of peace and prosperity.
	And 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.
	So those are all going to be important themes of this show moving forward.
	Like I said, if your friends and family aren't watching us yet, now is a great time to start.
	I've been blessed to have a seat at the table, whatever I can share.
	Within reason, I'll do that.
	It's been pretty awesome so far, you know, sitting in these meetings, whether it's with RFK Jr.
	or whether it's with Elon in the room.
	I mean, it's truly awesome to see it's actually happening, guys.
	So let's keep getting that message out.

	For all of the top headlines that we'll spotlight here on the show, go over, check out my news app, MXM News, like minute by minute.
	MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
	We'll also be joined today by Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA. Let's get
	into some of those top headlines.
	Do 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?
	Remember that one?
	I remember it because I made a pretty big deal about it.
	Well, The Atlantic wrote a whole article mocking people online for alleging That FEMA was abandoning Trump voters.
	You notice how all those red areas in North Carolina seemed like they were totally neglected?
	Remember 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.
	We haven't really seen them.
	It was all done by the people at Samaritan's Purse.
	Those were the people who were actually taking action.
	Remember, that was a conspiracy theory that they were missing.
	As a quick reminder, here's CNN saying that it was misinformation, their favorite word of the election cycle, folks, that this wasn't happening.
	This definitely wasn't happening.
	That was misinformation.
	...relief efforts in North Carolina, including lies being told by Trump.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Look, FEMA officials will tell me they have literally never dealt with this level of misinformation.
	And these rumors, these lies, many of them have been pushed by former President Trump.
	Claims that FEMA is spending all of its relief money on undocumented immigrants or that they're not helping people in Republican areas.
	But of course, Just like I've told you, the only difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is just a few months.
	Because on Friday, the Daily Wire published an explosive report revealing that FEMA workers were ordered to, quote, avoid Holmes advertising Trump.
	Like, 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.
	I'm sure it probably happened elsewhere.
	Government 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.
	Well, guys, FEMA confirmed this message is real and claims that they fired the employee that sent it.
	That's not enough.
	A full investigation is in order.
	If that actually happened in a time of crisis by people responsible for actually taking care of these people, people should be going to jail.
	This is evil and should be criminal.
	Partisan politics obviously have no place in disaster recovery.
	We need to know how many more orders like this have been sent under Joe Biden.
	I'm guessing it's a lot.
	And I doubt it's just in Florida.
	Because 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.
	CNN is already reporting that Pentagon officials are discussing how to disobey orders like using the military to deport illegal immigrants.
	They 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.
	In fact, it's just the opposite.
	They want to make sure that those clowns are still in charge.
	And what we saw last Tuesday was that that is not what the American people want.
	not going to stop the Pentagon, folks.
	Some Pentagon officials say they're worried about what orders Donald Trump might issue when he's commander in chief again.
	Of particular concern is the threat to deploy active duty troops domestically, which he said he'd be open to doing.
	They also fear the possibility of mass firings of Department of Defense staff.
	The 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.
	It's not just limited to the Pentagon.
	The 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.
	In other words, they want to subvert the will of the people.
	See the pattern, guys?
	You see what's happening here?
	This is what an attack on democracy actually looks like.
	That's what it is.
	The voters made their choice and bureaucrats don't get to undermine it.
	None of these elected bureaucrats should have any say or any power in all of this.
	And as I told you on Thursday, the regime media is having a rough time dealing with Tuesday's victory.
	No one seems to be handling it worse than Joy Reid.
	It's amazing how...
	The two biggest haters in the world are both named Joy.
	Apparently, the Joy is gone.
	Joy Reid, Joy Behar, well, Sonny Hostin, probably not so Sonny either, the ladies in The View.
	But on Friday, Joy Reid had a segment where a guest encouraged viewers to skip Thanksgiving this year.
	When you know someone voted that way, do you recommend, just from a psychological standpoint, being around them?
	We got the holidays coming up.
	So 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.
	And I think the answer is absolutely not.
	So 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.
	MSNBC seems happy to destroy families for ratings.
	These people are insane.
	If you have a liberal that you're going to their Thanksgiving, just go.
	Put a smile on your face.
	The media, they've learned nothing from Tuesday's loss.
	They just don't get it.
	But again, it's why more and more Americans are either tuning them out or simply just mocking them into extinction.
	And 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?
	Remember that one?
	I do.
	Well, 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.
	Well, it turns out it was just white liberals who thought that.
	Shockingly, I'm shocked.
	Puerto Ricans also want to make America great again.
	For example, the data shows that the most Puerto Rican areas of Philadelphia swung the most towards Trump.
	Yet again, reality was the opposite of what the media told you.
	I think we actually won the governor's mansion and flipped that to red in Puerto Rico itself.
	And some of the biggest gains we saw this cycle included districts with strong Puerto Rican populations.
	Even AOC's own district shifted 24 points towards my father.
	So for anyone still asking whether or not this political realignment is actually happening, It's real and it's spectacular.
	And the good news in all of this, we won't be bogged down or handicapped by the fake news lies any longer.
	This 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.
	Make no mistake, The media, the deep state, they'll create them.
	But the American public saw everything they've thrown at my father, all of the lawfare, all of the cases, all of the thing.
	And 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.
	They voted for my father, resoundingly, anyway.
	And that includes the baseless rogue prosecutions.
	We've seen that, like all of these things.
	The 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.
	Or, as I'd call them, persecutions.
	We're not just going to let them...
	Say, ah, we're not going to look at this anymore.
	We have to look into the lawfare.
	We have to look into the weaponization of the Department of Justice, the FBI, the most powerful organizations in our country.
	If 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.
	This 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.
	There 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.
	I imagine they probably already have.
	But 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
	And 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.
	We need to ensure that we shed sunlight on all of this and do so in a short amount of time come January 20th.
	Just 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.
	What other agencies were doing that?
	I 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.
	You don't think there's more out there?
	You don't think there's more that they did?
	How 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.
	All happened at the same time, about a couple weeks after they wrote a check for the Trump campaign.
	You think that's a coincidence?
	My father hasn't even taken office yet, but he's already announcing a plan to shatter the left-wing censorship machine.
	Check this one out.
	This is world-class stuff and so fundamentally important to the future of our country.
	If we don't have free speech, then we just don't have a free country.
	It's as simple as that.
	If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple, just like dominoes, one by one.
	They'll go down.
	That's why today I'm announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime.
	And to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.
	And reclaim is a very important word in this case, because they've taken it away.
	In 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.
	They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.
	The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed and it must happen immediately.
	And here is my plan.
	First, 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.
	I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis or disinformation.
	And 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.
	And relating to censorship and hidden information, remember a few weeks ago when we laid out evidence of a massive money laundering via ActBlue?
	Well, 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.
	Imagine what's been going on across the entire country.
	You 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.
	Huh.
	I think we may be on to something.
	It'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.
	My father is already making major progress.
	He held a call with Zelensky, reportedly making it clear that the future must be peace.
	He's preparing action to secure the border.
	American companies are on notice that they need to decouple from China.
	A major middle-class tax relief package is on the way, and so much more.
	And like I said, this is a MAGA mandate.
	America first.
	And we need Congress and the party to understand and fully support this agenda.
	We are going to improve the lives of the American people like never before.
	We've got the plans.
	We've got your favorite president working harder than ever.
	We're building the personnel.
	And most importantly, we have the support of you, the American people, the people who made this all happen.
	And Charlie Kirk, guys, he's coming up in just a few minutes, so we'll have some fun with that.
	But first, check out the Birch Gold Group and diversify your saving.
	Look, with my father back in office, you're going to have more money in your paycheck than ever before.
	And that means you'll have opportunities to plan for the future.
	One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.
	For 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.

	I think you'll love it.
	Well, guys, joining me now, Turning Point USA founder, author of The Right Wing Revolution, Charlie Kerr.
	Charlie, what's happening, man?
	How you doing?
	Oh man, I haven't slept much this week.
	I know you know what that's all like.
	But man, I can't believe we did it.
	And being near you and around the team in 2016, this one feels better, different.
	That one was just a shock to the world.
	But 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.
	Yeah, for the guys that don't know, when I met Charlie in like 2015, I was almost a baby.
	Charlie was basically still a baby.
	We had no idea what was going on.
	And I think, you know, we worked so hard doing so many things.
	He was on the road with me for six months straight.
	But like, We just couldn't even fathom that you could maybe take on, you know, the Clinton machine.
	So it was like, hey, you know, like election is like, I think we'll overperform.
	We'll do better than other people were thinking, but there's no way we can actually win.
	And then it was like, oh boy, what happened?
	I think we've learned so much, but you're right.
	With 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.
	I 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.
	They, you know, I think the Clintons were like, ah, well, we don't have to, like, where's Michigan?
	Who knows?
	Like, who cares?
	Like, we're going to win Michigan.
	We always have.
	You know, this time they saw us coming and we won anyway.
	You know, it made it that much more special.
	Yeah, and also a testament to you, Don.
	I mean, you made a huge difference this cycle.
	I just want to tell a quick story.
	You came out and helped us in Arizona on the first day of early voting.
	And I warned you.
	I was like, Don, we're going to work you.
	And you did seven events all across Arizona.
	But the cool part of the story is I was exhausted.
	And we had this college campus bring your ballot party at Arizona State University.
	I was like, Don, you don't have to do this.
	I need to get some rest.
	I've got to be up early.
	And Don was there for like two hours taking selfies, you know, signing hats.
	And, you know, we had over a thousand ballots submitted for Donald Trump there just that evening in remarkable fashion.
	And so, Don, you had amazing grassroots humility, I could call it, just like being there, being with the grassroots.
	And look, what I also love about this, You and I have a joke, which is there's a new day one, which is January 7th, 2021.
	I was just at Mar-a-Lago and it's like impossible to get in.
	And I was laughing because back on January 28th, 2021, I went and saw the president and it was pretty easy to get a meeting.
	It was like the easiest ever, meaning a lot of people disappeared, right?
	Yeah, you don't get credit for being there in 15 and 16 if you abandon us on January 7th, 2021.
	People want that reset because obviously that was clearly...
	You know, just blown up and this.
	I'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.
	And so it was so obvious what was going on.
	If you had, you know, double digit IQ, you could understand exactly what was happening.
	But 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.
	So 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.
	Yeah, and it's important because the regime wanted to destroy the movement after that, all of this progress that we've made.
	And what we need to look back at and then understand is that our movement transcends just Republican and Democrat.
	It's about representation of the people that have felt as if their government has ignored them.
	And so, yeah, it's just and throughout this campaign, I mean, your father faced First ever, four separate criminal trials.
	He faced getting shot, as we well know, and almost getting shot again.
	He had his business empire put in jeopardy, as again, you well know.
	All this happening simultaneously.
	And then all the other nonsense of the civil lawsuits.
	He had to sit in a courtroom nonstop for like a month and a half.
	And he overcame all of that.
	And it's just, it really is one of the most amazing, I think the most amazing political comeback in American history.
	And 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.
	You're not allowed back into our club.
	And the president clawed his way back.
	And also credit to the people in this audience that didn't stop supporting after all of that.
	That's an important point because it's like the American people voted knowing all of that was out there.
	That's right.
	But, like, it was so ridiculous, so oversold.
	I 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.
	But, like, think of all the stuff that they've thrown out there.
	The American public, like, yeah, we know about all of it.
	Like, we don't care.
	We're not buying it.
	Like, I mean, that's pretty incredible.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And it also shows the intellectual and political maturity of the population.
	I 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.
	And it turns out that the price of groceries, having a border, having a strong military, supersedes all of that.
	And so, you know, we look back at this campaign.
	We 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.
	And there was a really big risk.
	For 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.
	And 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.
	It's just a fact, right?
	It's well reported.
	This time, we were outspending Kamala on TV ads with hard campaign money the last week of the election, and she went bankrupt.
	She still spent three times probably what we've spent.
	That's right.
	They have that machine, but you're right.
	When I'm watching some of the liberal tears flowing this week, it's like...
	Who cares that you have to pay more for groceries?
	Three-year-olds need to be able to change their gender and mutilate their bodies without parental consent.
	That is the issue of our time.
	And I'm like, I love it.
	I'm like, oh my God, they didn't learn anything.
	They haven't learned anything.
	And the way they talk to you and they talk down to you, you're right.
	And 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.
	Like, these are not stupid people.
	They get it.
	They 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.
	And 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.
	Like, 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.
	Yeah, it's funny.
	One of them who's actually being intellectually honest, and I'm not a fan of theirs, is the whole Young Turk crew.
	They've been very outstanding.
	It's very interesting.
	And I saw them at the DNC in Chicago.
	Again, 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.
	Like, no, we're going to go straight.
	And 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.
	Like, this is not representing voters.
	This is niche issues.
	In fact, it's a very interesting thing.
	There 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.
	Like, hey, guys, you know, in Texas, we just lost by 14 points.
	And basically, his attitude was like, hey, if you're an adult, want to wear a dress, like, no big deal.
	But like, maybe we as Democrats should be a little bit more reasonable on like, nine year olds taking puberty blockers.
	And he got run out of the party within 12 hours.
	Like, I mean, so they have not learned their lesson.
	At all, which I guess for us is good.
	But I mean, honestly, I want the party.
	I want the country to come together.
	So I want the Democrats.
	I'd actually love to see two sane parties.
	And you know what I mean?
	You know, I mean, I get everything I want, but like I'm a business guy.
	Like you never get everything that you want.
	And that's sort of the reality.
	But, you know, with them, you need to...
	Prescribe 100% to literally every talking point, no matter how radical, no matter how, or you're out.
	Like, 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.
	Like, they're like, you know, they can Pretend they're women.
	They can be, you know, they can say whatever they want.
	No one's stopping them.
	But, like, they may not want them playing against their daughters in sports.
	And it's just, you know, an unfair advantage.
	I mean, it's lunacy.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And the Democrat Party is so ideologically driven.
	And 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.
	And I know it sounds so cliche.
	It'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?
	Are you protecting children?
	And 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.
	Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy.
	And Don, you deserve a lot of credit.
	I 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.
	And the table was really set because, you know, you deserve a lot of credit because you saw this realigned.
	Parties 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.
	And just think a year ago, one year ago, Bobby Kennedy was running for president as a Democrat.
	He was a year ago.
	I mean, people forget, like, he was running for president in the Democrat Party a year ago, not independent, as a Democrat.
	And he obviously was a game changer, enthusiastic supporter of our movement.
	And so I believe also...
	And 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.
	And I think that, I believe, I would love your thoughts, we do not win the popular vote without Joe Rogan.
	I just don't think it's possible.
	Well, 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.
	Listen, I think, to me, that could have been the biggest one of them all.
	I think Rogan probably seconded on some of those things with independent voters.
	And honestly, what you've done with the youth vote is amazing.
	I 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.
	And we've seen that, you know, the climate on college campuses has clearly shifted.
	You know, you mentioned Arizona State.
	It 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.
	You know, I'm not quite as evangelical as Charlie.
	So 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.
	So that was a little different.
	But I saw you out at Penn State.
	We did Penn State together back in 16.
	But this time it was different.
	Then it was like they showed up.
	Plain 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.
	But now I see a massive swarm of people just wanting to get their hands on a MAGA hat.
	They wore them proudly.
	You know, they're shouting all the slogans.
	And, you know, it delivered big in Pennsylvania, specifically in, you know, in Center County, the home of State College in Penn State.
	That would have never happened before.
	And, you know, I have to attribute that to you because, I mean, listen, you know, the RNC has shifted a lot.
	They 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.
	I think that's all turning point.
	Well, thank you.
	Yeah.
	And Michael Watley and Laura deserve a lot of credit.
	And the campaign also was like, hey, Charlie, you want the youth vote?
	Thank you, because that's not our thing.
	And, you know, it was obviously our expertise for 12 years.
	And I visited, we did 25 campus stops I did this semester.
	And we did, as you see in the videos, Don, where I debate these kids.
	Like over 2 billion views.
	And 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.
	Secondly, 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.
	And you saw some of those events in Arizona, Don.
	And if I may, I will just say with Arizona, you know, I was so bothered.
	It was the running joke on some of our group chats.
	Charlie, you better not lose Arizona.
	By the way, we were throwing you under the bus if we lost Arizona.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I'm well aware.
	You were definitely taking the bullet on that one, buddy.
	Hey, you win by six and a half points.
	Now you've got a full vindication.
	Not only that, it was the best performing polling to result swing state.
	And also from 2020, from where 2020 was to where it ended up.
	Yet the president will end up around seven points victory, which actually is double as 2016.
	Which is amazing.
	So it's actually one of the only states that got redder, except Nevada, since 2016.
	And yeah, it's because we had, in Arizona, we had 550 full-time ballot chasers.
	And, you know, to the...
	Chagrin of some people, but we persevered.
	We embraced early voting.
	And voting early ended up being a major element of our victory.
	And it wasn't just, okay, taking Sally Sue Marie, who usually votes on Election Day, and banking her vote.
	It gave us more days to get the Trump supporter and turn him into a Trump voter.
	Yeah.
	The guy that will give you a thumbs up at the airport, but then you talk to him, he's not even registered to vote.
	You know what I mean?
	And so that was so critical.
	And 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.
	I'd love to be able to see our states like actually count.
	You know, like Florida, I can count 25 million people, but, you know, but Arizona takes five days.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	But until we do that, we have to play the game.
	They can't have a two-month-long election day, and we have a one day, and just we hope for good weather.
	And so, you know, there was a lot of resistance I think this proves the thesis that it does make sense.
	It has to work.
	And 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.
	But, you know, I was like, oh, man, did we just bank all our votes, all our high propensity guys?
	And then, you know, we did that one event.
	There's a thousand people in the room a couple of days into early voting and like no one had actually voted yet.
	Those were the highest propensity voters.
	They waited.
	But we were getting guys who would not normally even vote out there and voting early.
	I 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?
	Because 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.
	We have to play by their rules.
	But, you know, if we're going to play, we got to play the same game.
	Yeah, so two thoughts on this.
	Number one, you're so right.
	When 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.
	So a low prop is a low prop for a reason.
	Maybe because they're not into voting as much, they have questions about voting, or they're just busy, right?
	There's so many working men and women in this country that are busy.
	So our 550 people, if we only had one day to get them to vote, they'd have a very low effective rate.
	Efficacy, because it's like, hey, that carpenter is actually out on a job site until 7 p.m.
	Okay, well, we're not going to get it.
	30 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.
	So it was a very smart adjustment, and it took one of the Democrats' advantages completely off the table.
	Now, as far as...
	How we get it moving forward really quick.
	We 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.
	In my opinion, that is completely...
	And 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.
	It's a big deal.
	So how do we deal with the vote count issues?
	I mean, Arizona's still counting votes.
	It's almost a week.
	You 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.
	What's happening in some of these states?
	How do we fix that?
	You 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.
	That's the only one they had time to vote for this time around.
	We saw that a little bit in 2020.
	What's going on?
	Why does it take so long?
	What's happening?
	Arizona is so dysfunctional.
	The good news, though, here's the good news, is that the Maricopa County Recorder, which all the problems in Maricopa, right?
	That's the beast.
	We defeated him in both the primary and now a general election.
	We have a new Maricopa County Recorder coming in, so we're going to fix the way we do elections.
	There's also just a red wave happening in Arizona.
	Expand our House and Senate majority.
	We're going to have a whole new bill that's going to require hopefully the flortification of Arizona election results.
	You have to have your results by 9 p.m.
	Figure it out.
	If you have to pre-canvas, whatever it takes, you got to do it.
	The problem, Don, is that there's been this movement out west to embrace universal mail-in voting.
	We'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?
	Because you have to then open the envelopes and then put them through.
	I think that's a silly argument.
	I 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.
	So, I figured it out.
	It's done, okay?
	Because, 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.
	Because, 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!
	He stays in power.
	So, Charlie, what do you make of this?
	You know, because I think we need Washington Republicans lined up behind my father's agenda.
	But 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.
	You see what's happening in the Middle East already.
	Hamas says 12 hours later, like, okay, like, daddy's home, like, we'll come to the table, we want peace.
	You see all that going on.
	And yet, They seem to be trying to thwart him there.
	They're trying to thwart him at the EPA. You know, how do you get Republicans lined up behind the agenda?
	You know, you see the Senate stuff, what's going on with leadership there, and that's all secret ballots.
	So everybody can be like, I'm with you, but no one's going to see who I'm voting for.
	So 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.
	What's your confidence in In that you can assess where we stand in the House, in the Senate.
	How do we hold these people to task?
	Is 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?
	Yeah, so the House one, the Speaker vote is public.
	The other leadership elections are private.
	I'm less worried about the House because I think they have PTSD from not fulfilling the mandate back in last cycle.
	And I'll cut Speaker Johnson some slack.
	We'll probably have a two or three seat majority.
	And unfortunately, Don, there's going to be some members that are going to jump ship and then go join the administration.
	Which again, guys, if you leave this house and go join the administration, it would be so frustrating.
	However, we should be thankful, Don.
	The fact we have the house at all is a surprise.
	We were anticipating a Hakeem Jeffries house with even President Trump.
	So that's amazing.
	And we should be thankful for that.
	The Senate is a disaster.
	So the Senate elections are this week.
	It's clear the voters want change, which would be Rick Scott.
	According to senators I've talked to, it's a low probability that Rick Scott is able to get the votes.
	Then you have Cornyn and Thune, both of which is more of the same.
	Thune, probably worse.
	Cornyn, however, is in cycle.
	So 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?
	And this is the way that I think we need to start analytically going through this.
	But here's the biggest problem.
	Is that it will take two years to get President Trump's appointments confirmed.
	Whoever it is needs to immediately declare their support that we will have recess appointments.
	And recess appointments means we can fill the entire cabinet overnight or else we'll be waiting years and this election will be for nothing.
	Yeah, and the Democrats, you know, the one thing they're good at is getting 100% in line.
	Every one of them is going to vote that way.
	You don't have, you know, the Romney fallouts and these kinds of people like we do in the Senate.
	You know, so that's a really big deal.
	Yeah, no, that's an important one.
	And again, that secret ballot, all this stuff, like, I mean...
	The Senate just doesn't care.
	We're slowly shifting it.
	We're getting good guys in there.
	Unfortunately, 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.
	I think he should be Senate Majority Leader.
	I've tweeted that out.
	It's rather ballsy, but he can do it, and it's constitutional.
	So I think J.D. Vance should run for Senate Majority Leader.
	I'm in that camp.
	Yeah, 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.
	And 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.
	That's the problem with the whole thing because you have no control over the process.
	I'd love to see all of these guys do these things publicly.
	You're right.
	I'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.
	We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make this happen, to make real changes.
	You have the team that's surrounding my father.
	This is generational stuff.
	We cannot squander that and go back to bureaucracy.
	Like, that doesn't work.
	Yeah, 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.
	And 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.
	Or else that deep red state of Texas won't like you in a primary.
	And 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.
	And Texas only becoming red or not bluer.
	Now, 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.
	If 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.
	And 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.
	And yeah, we have to be all in on this.
	But Charlie, it's 12.01 Eastern Time on Inauguration Day, January 20th.
	Highlight some of the day one, second one, minute one, whatever it may be, actions that are on top of your ideal to-do list.
	I imagine we're pretty aligned on this one.
	Yeah, again, I'll speak openly not to get you in trouble here.
	I promise, I don't prescribe to any of these things.
	Yes, of course.
	I would never.
	I'm very milquetoast and moderate in my views.
	Yes.
	Get Ross Ulbricht out of prison.
	It's a promise that the president made publicly that needs to be done.
	On 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.
	Number two...
	Pardon every non-violent January 6th offender and do it in the outer room of the Capitol.
	So Joe Biden went into the outer room of the Capitol and signed all of his executive orders getting rid of the 1776 Commission.
	Do it right there and then that will help heal the country.
	Number 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.
	Remember, Biden got rid of the Keystone XL pipeline Day one, we need to reinstitute it immediately.
	In addition, I think the president needs to make sure he has acting directors lined up at all these agencies.
	Remember 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
	go.
	And 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.
	That's just off the top of my head, Don.
	There's a lot of other ideas that I know that are cooking.
	But the big one is this.
	And I'm sure he'll do this through diplomacy as president-elect.
	End the wars.
	We are a war-weary country.
	We need to end the Russian-Ukrainian war.
	It's an outrage.
	We need to bring peace to the Middle East.
	The president can do that.
	And then the border.
	I know he's going to sign a ton of stuff.
	He's got Tom Homan and other people counseling him, which I think is awesome.
	And then kind of some of these other points that he said.
	He was going to do.
	I 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.
	And yeah, I just think that's minute one, day one.
	That would be what I would like to see happen.
	Can't let any time go to waste.
	So what does the first hundred days look like?
	The first day is pretty solid.
	By the way, I agree with everything.
	I mean, my whole thing is, like I said, you can already see some of the, you can't let RFK Jr.
	anywhere near here.
	I'm like, what are you talking about?
	He helped!
	Those wins so much more than, you know, you Rhinos ever could have imagined.
	But you see that game already happening.
	But, you know, so I agree with all of those things, you know, getting those guys, letting Elon loose.
	But that's more of a hundred day thing.
	What would your hundred day forecast look like?
	Yeah, well, number one, I think that there needs to be a legislative win, but we made a mistake back in 17.
	We went way too big and way too bold on Obamacare.
	You might think, oh, you got to go big and bold.
	Not if you're dealing with really weak.
	You actually need to build momentum.
	You have to build up to your big legislative achievement.
	I 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.
	We need a border supplemental.
	Number two is that we need to confirm all the U.S. attorneys on the southern border.
	There are seven U.S. attorneys that can then go after the cartels, go after the sex traffickers, go after the people on parole.
	If we don't have those U.S. attorney positions filled, it doesn't matter how many judges that you have.
	And then beyond that, we need to have, well, we need to pass a new budget.
	That's number two.
	We need to actually get a budget done.
	And then I think we need to have a question about reorganizing the federal government Are there duplicative agencies?
	Are there federal workers that are unnecessary?
	And then we go back to the core promises.
	President Trump, he doesn't need to do this by legislation.
	Day one, he could say to the IRS director, stop enforcing the over-criminalization of taxing on tips.
	He could do that day one.
	And so without going to Congress, you can say to the IRS, like, hey, you guys are hunting down these waiters and waitresses.
	Stop it.
	And then eventually we can go back to Congress and say, okay, there will be no tax on tips.
	But the problem is that it's like the overt police enforcement that we've seen with that.
	And 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.
	Which I just think would be awesome.
	But I think a lot of them would get on board with that.
	And then...
	The Social Security one, especially, it's like, I mean, like, you've been paying in, like, they're paying you back your money.
	Like, I don't even get it.
	Like, it's nuts.
	It's completely insane.
	And 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.
	I'm not exactly sure on the legislative side of this.
	But 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.
	And by the way, ending the Russian-Ukrainian war and the Israeli situation in the Middle East will bring oil down significantly.
	As those tensions are high, The oil markets go up because they're worried about embargoes.
	They're worried about being closed.
	So peace, the Middle East will bring down the price of oil significantly.
	So that's the first 100 days from my estimation.
	And 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.
	Diversity, equity, inclusion in schools will put up with that.
	Or in the military, or in the VA system, or any of these governmental agencies.
	Yeah, he never pledged to do this, but he danced around with it.
	But I think Daywani has to fire every general involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal.
	As long as it doesn't jeopardize national security and you have replacements, which I'm sure it will.
	The problem is they'll always say that it will, but it won't.
	The three and four star generals, they're political figures at this point.
	The guys that are the war fighters, it ends at about two star.
	And everyone else at that point is like an Obama political appointee.
	So it's not going to jeopardize anything.
	If 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.
	Yeah, and then we have to reclassify the Mexican drug cartels as a terrorist organization.
	We 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.
	Some of the NGO stuff funded by the government de facto allowing this to happen.
	Those people should go to jail for what they've been doing.
	So 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.
	And then we need to have a little Peace and Reconciliation Commission.
	We need to have the JFK files released, hopefully.
	That is another pledge that was made during the campaign.
	And then we need to find out exactly to the extent that the Biden regime was targeting us.
	Like, where are the documents?
	Did they destroy them?
	You know, they were infiltrating Latin masses.
	They were going after moms and dads at school board meetings.
	We need to kind of figure out all that out and then publicize it in real time.
	And so, look, there's a ton of work to do.
	I want to label who could, you know, who labeled Christians domestic terrorists?
	Who labeled moms at PTA meetings that just wanted to end the indoctrination of their children into woke nonsense?
	Like, who labeled them domestic terrorists?
	Because those people, they should be made very, very public.
	Yes, and a lot of this, what I'm talking about, as I'm remembering it, could still be like day one or day two.
	These are all simple.
	What I want is just total clarity.
	I want the Twitter files, but for government.
	Just let everyone see everything.
	Because we preach from a high horse all these things, and we're doing all these nefarious things behind the scenes.
	I'm like, that's got to stop.
	I don't mind if we preach from a high horse if we're actually acting that way, but we're not, and we all know that.
	No, no, that's exactly right.
	And look, the president has a mandate and the American people gave him this mandate.
	And legislatively, it's going to be the toughest fight because the Senate is just awful and they just don't listen to their voters.
	That's why I think you have to start with border and get a significant border victory.
	And 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.
	Like, hey guys, you need to play offense every day.
	You deported 8,000 criminals today.
	Boom!
	A crisp little tweet like that, right?
	Today, 6,000 rapists were identified and sent back to their country of origin.
	Boom!
	Right?
	Give people the daily momentum.
	So like, wow, my government's actually working for me, right?
	Today, we had the lowest border crossings in four years.
	It doesn't need to be this long paragraph, right?
	Simple, to the point.
	And by the way, President Trump, you know this, he loves this, right?
	Like one or two sentences, done, right?
	Just clean.
	And 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.
	And you go back, this is what's really important, is that the president's promises were unchanged from the primary to the general.
	Any Republican consultant would say you can't run on mass deportations.
	Well, he did, and he won the most Hispanic county in America.
	98%.
	Everyone commit this to memory for your friends and family.
	Star County, Texas is the most Hispanic county in America.
	98% Hispanic.
	98%.
	And it voted for Donald Trump for the first time of Republicans since 1896.
	They want mass deportations.
	And again, we're going to kind of lean on some of our friends that understand the immigration nuances even better than we do.
	However, we must give public support that we are going to remove the people that came during Biden and others in this country.
	And there's wide public support for that.
	And the media is going to try to misrepresent it.
	And they're going to try to fear.
	And that's another thing your audience has to be ready for.
	The media is going to try to make it this whole thing.
	The voters voted for it, okay?
	And we have to fulfill that mandate.
	And so, look, I'm super excited for the first 100 days.
	Don, I know you're working really hard on transition.
	We're trying to do everything we can because the prep work is going to lead us to success.
	100%.
	So, Charlie, as we wrap here, you know, my father said no Nikki Haley, no Mike Pompeo.
	He put that over the weekend.
	I may not have had anything to do with that, you know, the other day.
	Doesn't matter.
	He said it.
	What does personnel look like to you this time around, especially in the intel community and on the border?
	What are your thoughts on, you know, no Pompeo, no Haley?
	You 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.
	I 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.
	So you could get loyal but not competent and that doesn't help.
	Competent but not loyal also doesn't help.
	You need that perfect combination.
	Look, number one, if President Trump does nothing else for the next four years, he did a great job because of that Truth Social post.
	That's enough.
	The Dave Smiths of the world, who are not Trumpers, but a really funny comic, goes on Rogan a lot, is like he couldn't be happier.
	He's like, oh my goodness, it's actually happened.
	And by the way, we did not get elected on a warmonger agenda.
	We got elected on a peace agenda.
	So we're just doing what the American people gave us permission to do.
	Kamala Harris lost on a warmongering Liz Cheney agenda, okay, with having CIA chiefs at her convention.
	So, 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.
	And 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.
	It is completely different.
	And every conversation is going back to, nope, what did the voters do to give us?
	Nope, we're not doing that.
	And I love hearing that and seeing that.
	And as far as personnel, I think people are going to be thrilled.
	I agree with you.
	Charlie, thanks for everything you do.
	It's been absolutely awesome, guys.
	Make sure you're following Charlie on social.
	Check out everything he's doing.
	Check out Turning Point.
	Make sure, like, if you have young kids in high schools and college all over, you know, put them in a Turning Point chapter.
	I mean, you hang around with some of the...
	You know, I see these...
	They're all, like, just...
	It's just different.
	These kids are great.
	They've got their stuff together.
	It's a great early start.
	Make sure you check them out.
	Charlie, keep doing what you're doing, and I know we'll be talking a lot in the coming months.
	Absolutely, Don.
	Thanks for all you did for the country, and congrats.
	Thanks so much.
	Thanks a lot, bud.

	Okay, so, Don, what can you tell us about the transition?
	Great to see your father.
	Confirm no Pompeo or Haley.
	Yeah, it's been really interesting.
	I mean, I've been able to sit in on a lot of the meetings, making sure we get the right people on the list.
	You know, again, my job, I've always said, I don't want to be the guy placing anyone.
	I don't care.
	I 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.
	We're going to make sure those guys don't have a seat at the table.
	And so, you know, some of that may or may not have come up in a meeting the other day.
	It'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.
	I mean, you know, the Avenger thing is really happening.
	It's really happening.
	I've seen it with my own eyes.
	It's not like pretend.
	They're sitting at the table and we're having these conversations.
	So it's absolutely awesome to see.
	I'm glad to see some of the people.
	I noticed it literally the other day.
	I guess it was on Monday on the show where literally on 10,000 comments, every other comment was no Pompeo.
	So I was like, by the way, I always agree.
	I just wasn't going to say it publicly at that time.
	I was like that.
	So yeah.
	That's it.
	Done.
	Now, we have hundreds of more like that.
	We also have to do the same too.
	So it's not over.
	And I, you know, I promise you I'm going to be on it as best as I possibly can.
	But it's going well.
	It's a really organized structure right now.
	Howard Lutnick's done an incredible job with that.
	I 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.
	He can see that.
	And 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.
	The people who are both the guys that know, you know, they're in there.
	Nope, that guy was bad for X, Y, Z reason.
	That person was great for this Y reason.
	This is why it's been great.
	Okay, let's see.
	Did you see the report about the migrants self-deporting?
	It's amazing what a change in leadership can do for this country.
	Yeah, I did.
	I tweeted about it on X. It was sort of incredible.
	There was a caravan coming up.
	They saw that Trump won.
	They literally turned back around.
	They're pre-self-deporting.
	They didn't even get here.
	They were just like, eh, not worth it.
	We are so back, folks.
	We are so back.
	When the illegal migrant caravans are literally turning around and self-deporting before they even get here, it just makes our job so much easier.
	So I saw that.
	It was awesome.
	You can see I've been tweeting about this stuff or truthing about this stuff pretty heavily.
	So you can check it out there.
	But yeah, that was pretty amazing.
	Let's see, I saw a so-called resistance protest in Portland had no one show up.
	It seems like they don't have enough energy.
	Deep down, they know life will be better under Trump.
	I know, that's the problem.
	I think so many of these people, you know, the suburban housewives and the this, the most radical, like, it's just virtue signaling.
	I think they understand that it'd be better under Trump.
	They even know that, but they have so much social credit, I think, for, you know, in their crazy little worlds doing this that...
	Yeah, they don't have the time to actually do this.
	It's amazing.
	I 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.
	They'd rather, you know, preach about it.
	But, yeah, there's not been a lot of energy, you know, in the protest movement.
	You'll see some of it, of course.
	You know, they'll all be in the same two, three counties across America.
	But if you look at that map, that big, red, beautiful map, you realize there are no red...
	There are no blue states, really.
	There's only blue cities, blue areas.
	It's so overwhelming.
	It's sort of amazing.
	And, you know, we're going to be the president.
	My father's going to be the president for all Americans.
	But, yeah, it's nice to see that that energy is sort of dwindled.
	It only took a couple of days.
	What do you think your father and Joe Biden will say to each other when they meet this week?
	That's an interesting one.
	I got to be a little careful.
	I got to be a little bit more magnanimous now.
	It's interesting even seeing my father when he's like, hey, Don, you're too aggressive about this.
	I'm like, wait a minute.
	He understands the importance of that role.
	I imagine it'll be cordial.
	It was cordial with Obama last time, and then Obama tried shanking him every which way imaginable.
	The good stuff is, I guess, we've seen what Obama's really about.
	We saw I think we all understand that Obama now is not this great, nice guy.
	He's a bad guy.
	Always has been.
	But now that's at least been exposed to hopefully everyone else gets it.
	But no, listen, I don't know.
	I guess it depends on the state of Joe Biden.
	Hopefully he's clear.
	It's funny, though.
	You saw him talk a couple times in the last week.
	He's got a big old smile on his face.
	He was actually fairly lucid.
	So 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.
	So I don't know.
	It could be really interesting.
	I look forward to getting the readout from my father.
	I'll be curious to see what he says.
	You know, maybe I'll let you know how that goes on Thursday.
