Charlie explains the uniparty agenda behind the push to topple Trump's defense secretary. Then, he covers the Biden-style lawfare assault on Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

It is my preference to go talk about other issues that are occurring right now. There's a lot of good things happening. Our southern border is secure. Governor Kristi Noem is going and she's visiting El Salvadorian prisons. But this is a very, very important story. And let me tell you why. Because it is revealing a fault line of actually what divides the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is not divided based on domestic policy. We're actually largely in agreement. We want low taxes. We want economic freedom, even deportations. You're not going to find a lot of fight amongst rank and file Republican senators about this. Instead, the fault line, the dividing line in the Republican Party is foreign policy. It is foreign policy.

Chapter 2: What is the signal chat controversy about?
If we can tie these candidates to Trump, that's a huge net positive, despite what the Rove and the Romney type folks are going to tell you. People want the message. They want MAGA. They want America first. They want the golden age. And I think you're right. It's an institutional, it's a cultural shift. But I think the nice thing is we still have Trump to at least to try to attach on to.
And obviously he's not on the ballot, which makes it difficult. But with Elon in the White House doing what he's doing, with Trump continuing hour by hour to create massive reform to save this republic, that's the challenge for us is how do we connect whatever election it is, if it's Brad for Supreme Court in Wisconsin, if it's these specials in Florida, connecting that our candidate must win.
It is vital that you vote because it's going to continue these Trump reforms that are saving the country. It's not an easy task, right? It's a challenge because people aren't as motivated without Trump on the ballot. But I think that's our excuse. That's our hurdle to have to get over. And I think we're doing the legwork to hopefully deliver some strong results.
What is on the docket of other races that we should be aware of beyond Wisconsin in this year? And look, everybody, we're going to be in a midterm cycle by Christmas. By Christmas, we are in a midterm election. We're just months away from being well within a midterm cycle. Cliff, tell us.
Yeah, well, I think you've got big races. Obviously, New Hampshire, in terms of the Senate seat, I think is going to be huge. That's a state that we play in. Hoping you guys go out there and help us out. We've got some big talks there with Tyler. But look, let me come back to PA, which is my bread and butter, because we do have some crucial races.
If we're talking 2026, we've got three congressional swing districts. We won all three of those in 2024. We don't win those. We don't have the majority right now. So there are going to be three defenses now that we're going to have to win. We're going to have to do the typical chase program. But Charlie, let's just look at 2025, right?
Obviously, Wisconsin and these Florida races are going to be huge. Greatly appreciate what you guys are doing in Wisconsin. If it wasn't for you guys, we'd have no shot to win that race. 2025 in Pennsylvania, there's something very interesting. The people that control the elections in terms of the election day decisions, these are called judge of elections in Pennsylvania.
We are actually trying to go out and elect 1,000 of those, and that's why we're doubling down this PHA's program. And here's why it's important. If you want J.D. Vance in 2028, if you want fair elections in 2026, the people who get elected for judge of elections in Pennsylvania, the largest swing state, in 2025, they control the election day decisions for 2026 through 2029.
And so my push to you and what we're doing is we want to make sure that we have this entire grassroots army to get to make those decisions. And Charlie, you reported on all the crazy, wacky stuff that comes out a lot of these counties with just the possible thing. But yeah, really, really focused on judge of elections.
