00:00Hi, everyone. Welcome to One Nation. Hope you're having a fantastic weekend. It's going to end up
00:08great because we're responsible for it. Coming up on this show, Elise Stefanik's going to be
00:13with us. Is she going to run for governor of New York? Would she win? We're going to look at the
00:16polls and find out what she's up to. Jack Cittarelli wants to be the next governor of New
00:20Jersey. How close is he to making this upset happen? And Andrew Colvin, when you talk about
00:24turning point and the future, he represents it in so many ways. But first, the most impactful
00:30monologue in America. First off, it's so clear to me how successful President Trump's week-long trip
00:36on the Far East was, from Malaysia to Japan and South Korea, capped it off with a high-stakes
00:41two-hour session with the president of China. I'm also amazed how many don't see it that way.
00:46So let's review for them. Great enthusiasm in Malaysia.
00:54And it wasn't just dancing. They also had a rare earth deal that they signed. And it's
01:02going to really help within the next three months. You saw genuine affection when it comes
01:06to the new leader of Japan. Mr. President succeeded in securing a ceasefire deal between Thailand
01:14and Cambodia and contributed to ensuring peace in Asia. Also, the deal you have recently achieved
01:22in the Middle East. On behalf of our country, I want to just let you know, anytime you have any
01:28question, any doubt, anything you want, any favors you need, anything I can do to help Japan, we will
01:35be there. We are an ally at the strongest level. And it was great to see that instant synergy between
01:41the two leaders. I don't know if you caught the military where she came down and addressed the
01:45military with the president of the United States. Japan, by the way, inked their trade deal and
01:49detailed a half trillion investment into America. And the tension between Trump and South Korea's
01:55president that was so present in the first term was converted to respect with this leader and a
02:00finalized trade deal in this term. And also a pledge to spend on their own defense, which is a relief.
02:06And, by the way, they also gave him a crown. I mean it, a crown.
02:13The Cheong Ha-chung-gul crown symbolizes the divine connection between the authority of the heavens
02:18and sovereignty on earth. That symbolizes the spirit of Shiloh, which brought peace to the Korean
02:23peninsula for the first time and the opening of the golden age of the Korean-U.S. alliance.
02:28That'll go good in that library that George Stephanopoulos paid a lot for. Meanwhile, Trump made
02:33legitimate tangible gains. The main event was always going to be with China. You had both sides. They
02:39seemed anxious to bring down the tension, bring down the tariffs, and amp up the trade.
02:44Mr. President, you care a lot about world peace. And you're very enthusiastic about settling various
02:52regional hotspot issues. It was amazing how cordial it was. And, by the way, deals were made.
02:57The Chinese have agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of soybeans during this season. And then for
03:05the next three years, they're going to be buying a minimum of 25 million metric tons per annum.
03:14Overall, I guess on the scale of from zero to 10, with 10 being the best, I would say the meeting
03:19was at 12. So why were there such gains, in my view? Simple. Weeks of meetings leading up to the trip.
03:25It made Trump become the closer instead of the guy who had to set the table,
03:29write the deal, and finish the deal. But yet Democrats are just incapable of acknowledging
03:34any success. At this point, it's almost a medical condition.
03:38It appears to most reasonable observers that Donald Trump was punked on the world stage
03:43by the Chinese Communist Party. But so far, his trip has been a total dud.
03:47Now they have this meeting of equals. Trump said she is a great leader. China is a powerful
03:52country. That's exactly what Xi wants and China wants. And so that headline is basically giving
03:59the message to the Chinese people, the United States and China are equal powers negotiating
04:04the world. And so that hurts us a little bit.
04:07All Trump is talking about is the economy, not his, our economy. He's not doing this for him. He doesn't
04:15need another hotel or a golf club. This isn't ceremony to build up his ego. He builds on his
04:21relationships. He cuts deals, deal after deal with nation after nation. Remember his first overseas
04:27sojourn in the Middle East? Yesterday, the Saudis pulled out all the stops and welcoming President
04:32Trump, who emerged with what he says is about 600 billion dollars, maybe even a trillion in Saudi
04:38investments. So he's addressing our vulnerabilities such as rare earth metals. We need them by using
04:44our assets, like stuff we have, like AI. We're great. Military hardware, we're the best. And he's
04:50making relations pay off. Give you an example. So when the Gulf states were, when the Gulf states came
04:56together with the United States to bring a ceasefire to Gaza, I mean, what a mess here. We had to end
05:00the fighting. Well, everybody combined. It shocked the world. The hostages were free. The ceasefire
05:05took place. Why? There was a mutual trust between the Gulf states and Trump. Mr. President, today,
05:13we welcome you here to thank you for your pivotal leadership in putting forward a proposal that got
05:20the backing of almost the entire world. Trump is the greatest friend that the state of Israel has ever
05:28had in the White House. Just take note. He could be the best friend to Israel and be respected in the
05:36Arab world where he does multiple deals. Trump's doing these deals for the country. He's addressing
05:41our weaknesses. He's cleaning up the drug trade in our hemisphere. He's rattling our enemies in the
05:45region like Venezuela and Colombia. Not for him, but for us. But focusing on deals overseas, by doing
05:52that, he's addressing our economic needs at home. Even if the Democrats choose not to see it,
05:56perhaps they're just afraid to acknowledge it with an off-year election days away.
06:01Joining us now to break it down, Fox News contributor, a man that knows a lot about
06:05foreign trips and when people try to minimize it, he's the former Jeopardy chief of staff for George
06:09W. Bush, Fox News contributor, Wall Street Journal columnist, Karl Rove. Karl, were you surprised at
06:15how angry the Democrats seemed to be while the president was overseas?
06:18Not really, but they were very angry. Look, they've been perpetually angry since November of last year.
06:28And they are angry at Trump, but they really ought to be as angry about themselves because they are so focused
06:34on being against him that they can't figure out what they're for. And as a result, the Democratic Party is now
06:41held in lower esteem than it has in, you know, some 40 some odd years. And it's going to be hard for them
06:47to get out of it if they keep up this mindset.
06:49Yeah, I mean, just some of the things that were pulled off. It wasn't a perfect trip. He didn't get
06:53everything he wanted. Would I have loved to him to push to level off the oils that he's buying from
06:58Russia? Absolutely. Well, you know, would I love for them to tamp down what they're doing in Taiwan and
07:03rattling the neighbors? Absolutely. But this is what he did get. U.S. cuts in fentanyl. They said
07:09they'll pursue a cut in fentanyl. They could do that now. So he said he cuts them on the tariffs,
07:15total tariffs on most goods now at 47 percent. China agrees to cooperate when it comes to fentanyl.
07:21China pauses rare earth controls for at least a year. We agree to purchase soybeans, as you heard,
07:26reciprocal suspension of shipping levies. U.S. postpones a rule to prohibit blacklisting
07:32additional Chinese subsidiaries. Listen, China is strong, but they are vulnerable. And we are
07:39vulnerable when it comes to rare earth. We got to find a way in a Manhattan Project warp speed way
07:44to fill that gap or we're always going to be over a barrel with them.
07:49Yeah. And look, let's let's remember that specific provision with China is for one year. And that's why
07:57the agreement with the Australians on rare earth. That's why greenlighting the development
08:02of we call them rare earths, but they're pretty common. And we have lots of them in the United
08:06States. Ukraine has a lot of them. There are a lot in, for example, in the Nordic countries.
08:11But we've got to we've got to develop our own resources. And the difficult thing there is the
08:16cost and the expense of building the facilities to refine those those those substances into usable
08:23items. And but we got one year. Look, I think you need to look at this maybe a little from a
08:28different perspective. China is here. The rest of the deals are here. The rest of the deals
08:33are likely to be fulfilled and are are based around the principle of reciprocity. I take three
08:40lessons away from that. One is the president has an excellent team in the secretary of the treasury,
08:44the secretary of commerce, the trade representative. And in some instances, it's necessary to bring
08:49in the secretary of state. And all four of those people have done an extraordinary job
08:53in executing the president's plan. Second of all, reciprocity. The president is putting an emphasis
08:59on you treat us nice and we'll treat you nice. You lower your tariffs and your barriers will lower
09:06ours. And I think that's moving to our mutual advantage. And third of all, he is treating these
09:11people and their countries as true partners and equals, which means there are benefits. As he said
09:17to the Japanese prime minister, let me know what you need. But he's also saying you've got to do your
09:21part. The South Koreans of the three countries we talked about, Japan's doing what it needs to do
09:26on defense. Malaysia is not as important as a national security partner. But South Korea has
09:33not been doing its job and muscling up its defenses. And the president got them to agree to do that.
09:40I thought that was an extraordinary achievement. I want to get to this other point, too, and that is
09:43looking back at the four years of Joe Biden. People say, why are you looking back? Well, they keep
09:46writing books and then people keep getting revelations about what we were talking about.
09:50And that is Joe Biden seemingly failing on the world stage and invisible when it comes to
09:55governing. Ian Samms, who would scream to the heavens every time he came out as President Biden's
10:02spokesperson, how on top of it he is, how well, how with it and how sharp Joe Biden is behind closed
10:08doors. He had a different story. Listen to this. That's the President Biden that so many of us
10:14experience every single day. Someone who's asking the tough questions so that we as staff can be sharp
10:19to do our job best for the American people. I think I met with the president a handful of times
10:26during my tenure in White House. And one of those times was by Zoom when he was at Camp David.
10:32Carl, this is a big story nobody wanted to cover and wants to cover. Your thoughts?
10:40We knew that they weren't telling us the truth. Who are we going to believe, them or our lion eyes? And we
10:45believed what we saw. And the American people had these grave doubts. And it now turns out that he
10:50was surrounded not only by a group of people who were hiding the truth from us, but he was also
10:54surrounded by people who lied to us. And you've just heard from one of them.
10:59Right. We had this with Woodrow Wilson for 17 months. He had a stroke. No one saw him, heard from
11:04him. And his wife was running the country. We swore that would never happen again. It happened, but maybe
11:09for four years. This story is just beginning. We're not going to stop. Carl, thanks so much.
11:15You bet. I do not agree with many of his views, but running a state government or a city government
11:20is very different. It's about making sure that the garbage gets picked up, the streets are safe.
11:27Really? A lot of mayors say it's a little bit more complicated than that. New York Governor Kathy
11:33Hochul making a political calculation, supporting the frontrunner to be the next mayor of New York City.
11:37Zoram Amdani. Keep in mind, he failed to return the favor, offering no endorsement of her.
11:43Her support means this. She endorses, I guess, higher taxes. She endorses doubling the minimum
11:48wage, $30. She wants to freeze the rent. Sorry, landlords. And will spend about $600 billion
11:54making buses fast and free. But the high-profile Hochul endorsement coming with no shortage of
11:59embarrassments.
12:07Here's what we need. Oh, you're fired up. You're fired up.
12:12I thought they were saying, let's go, Bills.
12:14Your friend and mine in attendance, Governor Kathy Hochul. Governor, thank you so much for being here.
12:19And thank you to your team, too, for getting us ready.
12:24The Governor of State New York, Kathy Hochul.
12:32Governor Hochul. To the teams of New York.
12:37To the teams of the New York State Party.
12:38They were just saying, go, Bills, that whole time at the Ryder Cup.
12:41Other top Democrats waiting until the last minute to endorse Mandami or just not endorse
12:46at all. Clearly, they decided, and they can't decide if he is the future of the Democratic
12:50Party or not. Some pray he is not. Joining us now, New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik,
12:55who also is considering, more than considering, a run for governor herself.
12:59Your thoughts about Governor Hochul's calculated decision to endorse Mandami, who says, I don't
13:05like capitalism. I'm a socialist.
13:06Well, Kathy Hochul made that calculated decision because she has no support, even within her
13:12own party. Because of her abysmal polling, she has bent the knee to this pro-Hamas, jihadist,
13:17anti-capitalist, defund-the-policed candidate who is likely on the precipice of potentially
13:22winning the mayoral seat of the most important city, not just in the country, Brian, but in
13:27the world. The world is watching this. And Kathy Hochul put her own political future,
13:31which is being resuscitated, and yet they are never going to allow her. They chanted
13:36and heckled her, saying, tax the rich, tax the rich. So she will be forced to bend the
13:40knee. She owns all of these horrific positions that are out of touch with hardworking New
13:44Yorkers.
13:45So you're considering running. You'll make a decision right after the off-year elections
13:48coming up next week. But look at the polls early. I'll give you the Manhattan Institute
13:52poll. You're winning by one. I mean, this is a red, nobody thinks this is a red state.
13:58You're winning in two or three polls. You're up by one or down by one, and you haven't even
14:02started campaigning. What does that tell you?
14:04That tells you that people in New York, no matter if you're a Republican, independent,
14:08or Democrat, enough is enough. We are the most unaffordable state in the nation because of
14:13single-party Democrat rule led by Kathy Hochul. We have a Democrat party that has bowed the knee
14:19to the defund the police movement, which is what Kathy Hochul did. There's not a single issue that
14:23she said she specifically disagrees with with Mom Domi because they have taken over the Democrat
14:27party. Kathy Hochul is known as the worst governor in America. She is wildly unpopular,
14:32whether it's upstate the city or on Long Island. You're seeing those boos. And everybody knows
14:36they're not saying go, Bills. They are heckling Hochul because she has a failed record. And the
14:41reality, Brian, is she's an accidental governor.
14:43Because she was lieutenant governor when the scandal-ridden Governor Cuomo was told to hit the,
14:48you know, hit the door. And now he's trying to be mayor. And people look at him as the last great
14:53hope, which is a scary statement. Why do you think you could do the job?
14:57Well, I have a record of delivering results to my district. I flipped a district from Democrat to
15:01Republican. We win not just Republicans, but we win independents and a fair percentage of Democrats
15:06because I always put New Yorkers first. I also have a strong record when it comes to cutting taxes.
15:12I helped lead the negotiation to deliver the largest tax cut specifically for New Yorkers,
15:16raising the salt cap in this one big, beautiful bill. I also have supported pro-energy. This is a
15:22governor who has banned fracking, causing energy prices to skyrocket. I have a pristine record when
15:27it comes to standing up for the police. And that is in stark contrast to Kathy Hochul, who brought
15:32us failed bail reform, putting criminals first. If Zoran wins, does that make your job harder to win
15:37or easier? Well, the reality is whether Momdami wins or not, Kathy Hochul has made her bed. She has
15:44bent the knee to this socialist who's a full-blown communist. And New Yorkers are never going to
15:49forgive her. He supports raising taxes on top of the already highest taxes we have.
15:54He supports defunding the police, abolishing private property, does not believe Israel has
15:58a right to exist as a Jewish state, is a raging anti-Semite. You would think this guy's in single
16:02digits, but he's actually leading by double digits. So I personally believe, and many people do too,
16:08that the fact that we're looking at college reform across the country, especially in higher
16:12institutions, because of you, you took on the anti-Semitic behavior on campuses and realized the
16:17problem was so much worse. Now the president's now telling all colleges to sign on to this reform,
16:23admissions reform, stop to considering race and gender, providing admissions data. We want to know
16:28who's coming in and are you trying to be politically correct. Campus free speech and protests. You
16:33better get it under control, make sure it's not violent, make sure it's not threatening,
16:36but allow conservatives to speak up, I guess, for example. And gender definitions. How about men and
16:41women? Tuition and finances. Some of these colleges are unaffordable. Maybe they should start
16:46justifying their payments. How do you feel about this reform? Well, it's certainly one of the most
16:51important things that we're doing. And I've been proud to lead the effort holding higher education
16:55institutions accountable for their failure to combat anti-Semitism. You had riots, you had violence
17:01against Jewish students, and you've had universities that have focused on indoctrination and not education.
17:06We need to return to exceptional education. And I have a book coming out called Poisoned Ivies that
17:12will come out next April. So I thought it was really interesting that it came out this week. And we heard,
17:16about international groups financing some of the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas protests against
17:21Israel and against Jewish students. But some college president says Iran's behind it. Listen to this.
17:27Things happened that I really believe were encouraged from Iran.
17:33It did not have the involvement of very many, if any, of our own students.
17:38Not a large group, maybe 30-plus students or something. But they were looking, they were using
17:42the playbook that they had seen at Columbia and other places. And we're putting into the same
17:46messaging. So it's more than social contagion, I think. I think they're organized networks as well.
17:53Are they right?
17:54They are absolutely right. You're seeing a flow of foreign dollars into our higher education system.
17:59We are working very hard in Congress to make sure that we're pushing back, that these are America
18:03first universities. And the way we do that is these are U.S. taxpayer funded.
18:07We should not be propping up anti-American ideals. That was Syracuse, Brian. In upstate New York,
18:12to have Iranian funding flowing in to foment this anti-Semitism on campus, it should never be
18:17accepted. And I think you can draw a direct line from what's happening at the college campuses to
18:21Zora Mamdami's rise.
18:23Because that's pretty much the mindset that we saw going crazy on college campuses. And what about
18:28the hostages when they got out? They said Hamas knew exactly what was happening at Columbia
18:32while in the tunnels of Gaza. Think about that. I know you have. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik,
18:38best of luck with your big decision announcement next week. We hope to have you back a lot.
18:41Thank you, Brian.
18:42All right. Off to a great start. Meanwhile, still ahead, Democrats in New Jersey
18:45are breaking ranks to support Jack Cittarelli for governor. Can he actually flip that blue state?
18:51Cittarelli joins us next with his closing argument. And by the way, be sure to catch me on stage.
18:55I know it seems like a far away, but it really is. In February 14th, Fort Myers, Florida,
18:59History of Livery and Laughs, streamed on Fox Nation. Don't move.
19:07Welcome back. The New Jersey gubernatorial race has emerged as one of the hottest contests
19:11to watch this election cycle in this so-called off-year election. Early voting shows record
19:16turnout in the battle between Republican Jack Cittarelli and his Democratic opponent, Congresswoman
19:21Mikey Sherrill. Now, in 2021, Cittarelli came in within three points of becoming the next governor
19:27of the Garden State, shocked everybody. They had to wait a while to get the final tally.
19:32And now the deeply blue state, which is becoming less blue, could be on the verge of turning red.
19:38In a sign of what may be to come, over a dozen elected Democrats have thrown their support
19:42behind Cittarelli, including four Democratic mayors. Polls show this red-hot race could be a
19:48squeaker that could all come down to voter turnout. With two days to go into the election,
19:52Jack Cittarelli has taken some time out for us. And let's welcome him now. Jack, great to see you.
19:58The real clear average, if you average all the polls, has Sherrill 48.7, you 44, 45.3. Do you
20:06think that's accurate? No, we think it's actually closer than that, Brian. And the one thing to keep
20:12in mind is, historically speaking, Republicans under poll in New Jersey. And the other thing that you
20:18mention is when prominent Democrats are endorsing the Republican nominee, I think that's a very,
20:22very strong sign of what's going to end up happening Tuesday night. We're going to win this
20:25thing. You know, it's interesting, too, you talk about turnout. We got some numbers, and of course,
20:29they're constantly updated. Early on, Republicans are up 11 in terms of turnout, Democrats down two,
20:36unaffiliated down two. What are you looking for when you meet with your staff and the doors
20:41closed and the shades are down? What do you look, what numbers are you looking at?
20:46We wanted to look first and foremost at the return for Republicans through the mail.
20:51Those ballots got mailed out the third week of September, and we've seen a greatest number ever
20:55of Republicans returning their vote-by-mail ballots. And now what we want to do here in the nine days of
21:00early voting, and we've got two days to go, is that we're matching them man for man, woman for woman.
21:05Because if that's the case, when we go into Election Day, we're going to be in really great shape,
21:08because we kill it on Election Day. So I like the position that we're in. We'll finish strong here
21:13over the last four days, and again, deliver a win for New Jersey. So I thought this was
21:17interesting. I was watching The Daily Show at the end of the night, and Zoran Mamdani, who you know
21:20is a favorite to now, it looks like according to the polls, if they're right, to be the next mayor of
21:24New York, he pointed to New Jersey as a model when it comes to taxes. Listen.
21:30What we found is talking about raising taxes on people who make a million dollars, increasing it by just
21:36two percent, increasing the state's corporate tax rate to match that of the socialist utopia
21:41of New Jersey. These are things that are not just broadly popular. They also have precedence.
21:50And most importantly, though, you're not looking to do them in and of themselves.
21:53You're looking to do them to fund an affordability agenda that would transform quality of life
21:57for every New Yorker. So he wants to mirror the taxes that you want to decrease or at very least
22:05freeze. Hey, man, I'm hoping this guy doesn't win. But if he does, we're going to roll out the
22:11welcome mat in New Jersey, not only for individuals, but businesses, too, because here's what I plan on
22:16doing. We need to reduce the size and cost of a bloated, inefficient state government that's up
22:21sixty four percent during the current governor's term, all of which supported by my opponent.
22:27When we reduce the size and cost of state government, I'm reducing taxes for individuals
22:31and businesses. So New Jersey is going to be more attractive than ever to New Yorker, New
22:36York individuals and businesses that want to flee. Is it right to call you a moderate?
22:43Hey, you know, I'm moderate on some issues. I'm liberal maybe on others. I'm conservative on others.
22:48I'm all about New Jersey. So I just want to make this place more affordable, make it a place where
22:53retirees feel comfortable. They can retire here. Young people feel they can get a start here.
22:57I've never worried much about labels. I'm a Jersey guy. Right. So one of the hit pieces I wanted to
23:02bring back to Mikey Sherrill is running on you to give you a chance to respond. I can't and I
23:06shouldn't run the whole thing. But here's a little of it. At the grocery store or maybe at the gas
23:14station, locals call it the Jack tax, a terrifying 10 percent tax on everything you buy.
23:21So she thinks you're going to jack up taxes, Jack.
23:26It's a bold lie, as is the entire campaign. It's been based on a stack of lies about me,
23:32her disdain for the president. She can fly a helicopter, none of which is going to fix New
23:37Jersey. I'm not raising any taxes. We've made that clear. And I've put forth very specific policy
23:42proposals to lower the income tax for individuals and businesses and also lower the property tax
23:48here in New Jersey. I know you want to win. Do you think you're going to win?
23:54I really do, Brian. I got to tell you, in 21, I thought I was going to win. You know how close
23:58that was. But this time feels very, very different. As I say, no matter where I go around the state,
24:04the energy is electric, the reception in minority communities. I didn't have a single endorsement
24:08of any Democrat, let alone prominent Democrats back in 21. This one is very, very different.
24:14We're in position. I'll tell you what. If I didn't know how busy you were campaigning,
24:19I would think you took it easy. You look as fresh. You could go another six months campaigning.
24:23Jack Cittarelli, finish strong. Best of luck.
24:28Thank you, Brian. You got it. Keep it right here on Fox. By the way, this Tuesday will be a full day.
24:34We're going to have election coverage. You're going to be glued to the TV. And I want it to be our TV.
24:38You're not going to get better coverage anywhere else. Meanwhile, on this show coming up,
24:42the impact of Charlie Kirk's tragic death on Turning Point USA and how the organization will
24:47affect future elections. That'll be all coming your way next with Andrew Colvin. Played a big
24:52role in that organization. Still does today. Welcome to Fox News Live. I'm Ashley Strohmeyer
25:00in New York. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says flight delays at airports are expected to get worse.
25:05This as the government shutdown stretches into its second month. Passengers in Los Angeles,
25:10Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and New Jersey's Newark International Airport are
25:15experiencing two to three hour delays. And that is due to some air traffic controllers calling out
25:21sick because they haven't been getting paid. The delays come weeks ahead of the busy Thanksgiving
25:26travel season. Israel has received the bodies of what Hamas claims are three more deceased Israeli
25:33hostages. The handoff took place hours after Israel launched an airstrike in Gaza City.
25:39Israel claims Hamas is still operating pockets in areas under Israeli troop control.
25:44Hamas has released 20 Israeli hostage bodies since October 10th. Eight are still missing.
25:49I'm Ashley Strohmeyer. Back to One Nation.
25:59A conservative awakening is taking hold of America's college campuses. I never actually
26:03thought I would say that, but it's inexplicable and it's really fantastic to see. Since September
26:0910th, 2025, the movement Charlie Kirk founded has seen a surge unlike anything in its history.
26:14Turning Point USA now boasts over 3,000 new high schools and college chapters. More than 113,000
26:21students officially joined in. Another 130,000 expressing interest in becoming a part of the
26:27cause. A movement that continues to grow and inspire like at Ole Miss where the meetings,
26:32the sessions, the events hit over 10,000 people over capacity. Now Kirk launched Turning Point in 2012
26:382012 and his vision lives on. I would say that no one can disagree. Despite all that, some schools
26:44are pushing back. You got Loyola University in New Orleans. You got high schools like Royal Oak
26:49High in Michigan and Fort Lewis College in Colorado. Supporters say the resistance only fuels their resolve.
26:56So what does this momentum mean for the midterms, America's campuses, and the next wave of voters
27:01ready to make their mark? Are they poised? Yes. Joining us now is Turning Point USA spokesperson,
27:06executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, which he's hosting, Andrew Colvitt. Welcome back,
27:11Andrew. Your thoughts about what has happened since we last spoke, and that was the day of the memorial
27:17service. Yeah, I mean, the momentum has just continued to carry on, Brian. It's been amazing. I was
27:25actually at Ole Miss, and if you take that chapter as just one of many that are experiencing similar
27:32growth and an explosion of new members, that has 2,000 members at that Turning Point chapter,
27:38Brian, 2,000. And so, you know, you kind of mentioned the midterms. You mentioned about
27:43what kind of impact that can have on new voters. Well, when you have 2,000 members of a college
27:49campus chapter, that's going to have serious implications of local races and statewide races
27:55and the tone and tenor of the way that the politics in that state go. And yeah, you might say that's
28:00Mississippi, but we're seeing this in blue states. We're seeing this in swing states.
28:03It is an amazing phenomenon. And yeah, right now, every day, we add 50 new chapters, whether that's
28:11college or high school chapters. It's about 50 new chapters a day. And most of those chapters have
28:15dozens of students that are starting them, whereas, you know, before 9-10, it might be like a core group
28:21of four or five, maybe 10 or 12. But now we're having dozens and dozens for each chapter.
28:26Andrew, what do you do when people try to open up a chapter, like what happened at Royal High School,
28:30Royal Hill High School, or what happened at Loyola? And this college or high school says no.
28:35How do you help those people, or can you do anything to help them?
28:41Yeah, no, we absolutely take a very active role in helping them. And I will tell you, Brian,
28:45there's been a lot of law firms that have come to our support to just give us pro bono aid and
28:51support for these brave students that do run into these roadblocks. And I will tell you right now,
28:57you know, there's a couple in progress, but we have not had one of these instances, Brian,
29:01where we didn't come out on top at the end and the school ends up finding a way forward for these
29:05students to start the chapter on campus. And yeah, there's a couple instances where we're still in
29:10process, but I have high hopes that we're going to get all of those students across the finish line.
29:15And they should just know that that's what it's going to be like. When you go on campuses,
29:18you're going to hit resistance. They're just getting it to get on campus. Meanwhile,
29:22the investigation into the assassination of Charlie continues. And this story emerged this
29:27week of FBI Director Cash Patel pushing back at Joe Kent, who's the United States National
29:31Counterterrorism Director, because he wanted to find out how the investigation was going.
29:36Number one, did you hear about that? Number two is, how is the investigation going?
29:40Have they been kept keeping you abreast?
29:42Yeah, I mean, first, I got to say, you know, it's an ongoing investigation. There's only
29:48so much I can say, right? And I'm not next of kin. But I will tell you that there is an amazing team
29:54that has been assembled that are working directly with Erica. And the team is amazing. And they are
30:01working directly with federal, state and local law enforcement. And they feel very, very good about
30:06the case. I can just tell you the confidence is brimming. I think they think it's watertight,
30:11rock solid. So I'm personally heartened by that. It doesn't mean that we don't want to keep making
30:16sure that we leave no stone unturned, right? Who else knew about this? Who else was involved?
30:22Were organizations involved that radicalized him? Or did people know in advance and they failed to
30:27inform law enforcement? And yeah, I saw this story. And you know, I checked into it. I'm told it's
30:33completely false that there is an ongoing investigation. Nothing's been closed or turned
30:37off. I'm also told that nothing has been, you know, highlighted that would indicate there's foreign
30:42involvement at this point. But everybody's, and I can just say this from top to bottom, everybody is
30:48completely devoted to getting justice for Charlie and for Erica and the family. And so I take a lot
30:54of, I'm very heartened by that, I will tell you. Got about a minute left, but I can't go anywhere
30:59without someone telling me some type of theory, conspiracy theory. You must get it constantly.
31:04What do you say? These are some people that are friends of yours with conspiracy theories. What
31:09do you say to those people? Yeah, I mean, listen, Brian, I take it, it can be frustrating. There's
31:16no doubt in the short term, but in a larger sense, I understand that there, there's a lot of trust
31:22issues when it comes to authorities. And I think that everybody grieves differently, right? And these are
31:27some of these people really love Charlie. Some of these people really just want to get to the truth.
31:31I would just say, you know, my one pushback is just know that some of this does hurt the people
31:37closest to Charlie. And we want to protect them and their families too, because sometimes when you put
31:42that stuff out on the internet, it can come back in a really not so good way. But we want justice more
31:46than anybody, I can tell you. And I will say, I trust the very few people on the planet, I trust more
31:51than Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. Lastly, is it true that Turning Point is considering an alternate
31:56halftime show instead of Bad Bunny? Are you considering doing this? Is this true?
32:02Yeah, no, we're doing it, Brian. This is 100% happening. We're talking with major, major venues
32:08right now. And a day doesn't go by where I don't see somebody saying, oh, here's the list of
32:13performers, or it's not happening because we couldn't get performers. Both of those stories are
32:17untrue. We are in talks with a lot of amazing acts right now. So it is happening. Stay tuned.
32:22I know Charlie just put you in that seat to help him out. But you're doing a great job hosting his
32:28podcast. I salute all the affiliates that are holding on to the Charlie Kirk Show. And you follow
32:32me in a lot of markets. And it's great. Andrew, great to see you. Doing a fantastic job. Thanks,
32:37Brian. Very difficult time. Got it. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Meanwhile, next,
32:41only on One Nation, comedian Joe Mackey is here with the media moments that matter to him.
32:45We planned well for retirement.
32:53No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no.
33:01You don't forget it. We're lost. We're lost. We're lost. We're lost.
33:09What's the way you are, my life? That's what you are, my life. But don't forget it.
33:15Пока небо сохранит от мали в ней. Пока в небо еще сил набрать.
33:20All right. It's time now for North America's favorite segment. So this week I gave my only VCR,
33:49my only TV guy to have a subscription, but it's only get one a week. Two, comedian Joe Mackey. And
33:54I asked you, Joe, to find the three or maybe four best media moments. Sometimes I give the
33:59assignment and people don't do it. Did you do this assignment? I did this assignment and I used your
34:03VCR to watch Smokey and the Bandit. Which is fantastic. There's so many sequels. It's hard to
34:07know which one is best. And I do miss Jackie Gleason. Me too. Right. But I digress. What is the first
34:13thing you came up with? Oh, did you see JB Pritzker on Nicole Wallace's show? I missed it.
34:19I don't really watch the network. What's it called now? Is it MS now? I don't. That doesn't
34:23sound good. Can we hear? So why should I watch this? They made a shocking claim that no Democrat
34:31has called Trump Hitler. I mean, you've seen them call Trump Hitler many times. Of course.
34:36Can I see them claim this? There is. I think we have a clip of them. Hit play on your VCR. Play.
34:41I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler. I wouldn't say that. I don't think any Democrat
34:49has. Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler. I don't even know what to call him. I've called
34:53him so many things. But there's a wannabe Hitler for sure. Trump actually reenacting the Madison
35:02Square Garden rally in 1939. That neo-Nazis, fascists in America. We have a Timur Hitler in the White
35:11House right now. The tactics of Donald Trump to Mussolini and Hitler. He is paving the way
35:19to become a Vladimir Putin or to become an Adolf Hitler. Besides that, are there any other examples?
35:26Are you crazy? I thought the whole network was basically just called Trump Hitler. It's
35:33so stunning to make a lie that you know you're going to get caught at. It's like when Greg
35:37says he's 5'7", and you meet him in person, he's maybe 5'4".
35:415'4", yeah. And by the way, are you the one writing that bad stuff about me on the show?
35:45I never write a bad... I write jokes about how I wish I were Brian Kilmeier. He's such a handsome...
35:50They always get cut from the show.
35:51They always get cut. Greg always, you know, snip, snip, cutting from the floor.
35:55Now, I gave you the assignment to get three. Did you at least get to two?
35:58We got to two. We got to two here. I don't know if you saw this, but Jonathan Karl's...
36:02He's got a book out, of course. Everyone's got a book. And Jonathan Karl, he regals us
36:06with a story of how he called Trump after he won the election.
36:10Now, keep in mind, Jonathan Karl's a huge critic of Trump. He wrote a hit book on Trump.
36:13Let's say he tends to... He's interesting. He's talented. But what is that like? Can we hear?
36:18Yeah, we got a clip of that, too.
36:20It's a hit play.
36:21I do something kind of silly. I call Donald Trump. I mean,
36:25he's just one... There's no way he's going to pick up.
36:28And he picks up. And his voice... I mean, he sounded... I mean, he hadn't slept at all.
36:33I hadn't slept. I mean, we... But he... Hello, oh, Jonathan.
36:38And he... And I said, Mr. President-elect, I just want to say congratulations.
36:45And he... I said, on what, Jonathan? On what? On the greatest comeback victory in the history of American politics.
36:56But he wanted to hear me say the words.
36:59Wow.
37:00First of all, it's very strange. I've covered a lot of presidential campaigns.
37:04I've covered... I've covered several presidents.
37:06There's none other that I've ever, like, been able to call up on the phone.
37:10I mean, it's just like... I mean, you always go through... They've got people. They get a hold... I mean, it's like all of that.
37:13Yeah.
37:13It was easier to get Donald Trump on the phone than to get the deputy press secretary for the Kamala Harris campaign on.
37:20What do you would take away from that?
37:22I don't know what to be more angry about. One, that I don't have Trump's phone number.
37:25Or two, that Jonathan Karl does.
37:27I know. It's incredible.
37:28It's also... It's like... Trump's phone rings. Is it a world leader? Is it a family member?
37:32No, it's Jonathan Karl. Send that to text.
37:35Right. Hey, I'm... You would think... I would say also, too, Jonathan Karl uses it for his book to sell stuff.
37:40And I didn't read this book. I'm sure it'll be successful.
37:43But the other one just painted him as really horrible, unworthy of the presidency.
37:47And the president still says, I will talk to you.
37:50Yeah. He kind of gave a dig to Kamala.
37:52It's easier to get his press secretary... Hard to get her press secretary on the phone than it was to get Trump on the phone.
37:59Number three. What should we do?
38:00Number three. It's the pantsless cop Zoom call.
38:03What do you mean?
38:03You see that one?
38:04You mean the judge and a cop on Zoom.
38:07On Zoom. They're having some sort of hearing.
38:09And he forgot pants. Let's roll the tape.
38:13Yes.
38:14Put your hand down. Officer Jackson, good morning to you.
38:18Can you put your appearance on the record, please?
38:21Yes, Officer Jackson.
38:23Bass number 3919.
38:25Out of 12th precinct.
38:27All right.
38:29Officer Jackson.
38:30You got an awesome timer, Jess.
38:32You got some pants on, officer?
38:35Officer, in the...
38:37No, sir.
38:40Officer Jackson, I'm...
38:42Okay.
38:45Ms. Lee,
38:46this author is a...
38:49As charged as a disorderly person, correct?
38:53What is he thinking?
38:54Why are you still doing Zoom calls on these court hearings?
38:57Pandemic's over.
38:58I know.
38:59You used to think that people in positions of authority were competent, but not anymore.
39:03I wear pants to bed.
39:05And this guy doesn't even put pants on for a Zoom call.
39:08And I'm much more likely to trust and believe a policeman that wears pants.
39:12That's why I always thought in chips, Eric Estrada was the bad guy.
39:15Absolutely.
39:16And by the way, Joe, you do go on Zoom for a lot of the writing, for the monologue.
39:20I just hope you're wearing pants.
39:22All the time.
39:23I do.
39:24I'm standing up.
39:25All right.
39:25Joe, you play a valuable role with Gutfeld, despite what he tells about you.
39:28And remember, next time an anti-kill me joke pops up, you say, if you put this on the
39:32show, I quit.
39:33I walk.
39:34That's it.
39:34That's it.
39:35If you don't mind.
39:36Joe, thank you very much.
39:36Thanks for having me.
39:37All right.
39:37Thanks for not touching the table, too.
39:39It's only for me.
39:40Up next, the sneak peek of the week.
39:42And don't forget to follow me on social media.
39:44I'm on Rumble, Instagram, X, and Facebook.
39:46Yes, I'm bragging.
39:47Also, I have a private club.
39:48It's called the Culper Club.
39:49You can find it on Locals.
39:50Follow me there.
39:51I put great pictures up.
39:54I'm blind and blind with Hollywood hates me.
