00:00Welcome to a special edition of Jesse Waters' Primetime. I'm your humble host, Charlie Hurt.
00:10For the Fox News alert, kaboom, kaboom. Another boat off of the coast of Venezuela
00:18just got blown to smithereens. And these weren't fishermen on a shipwrecked crew.
00:24They were bad hombres, narco-terrorists. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the lethal
00:30kinetic strike earlier today as part of Operation Southern Spear. Two narco-terrorists are reportedly
00:37dead. This comes just after Trump gave Maduro a late Christmas gift, a missile to Venezuela's
00:44drug-loading docks. There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with
00:50drugs. They load the boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats and now we hit the area. It's the
00:57implementation area. That's where they implement. And that is no longer around.
01:05Maduro thought Trump was bluffing when he threw around the idea of land strikes.
01:09Guess not. The docks are about as close to home as it gets. Guess the dictator should have listened
01:15to all of the warning shots. You have to understand what he's done. They've
01:20sent billions of dollars of drugs in. But maybe just as bad, they've sent hundreds of thousands
01:27of people in from jails, from prisons, from mental institutions and insane asylums,
01:33the drug lords, the drug dealers. Every boat that we take out, we save 25,000 lives of Americans.
01:41Oh, Maduro, you've been a naughty fellow. And your country now isn't so mellow. Because strikes are
01:50falling on land, you, my good sir, are outmanned. It's not just Christmas for old dictator Nick.
01:57There are a few others on the naughty list who deserve a big old kick. We're not just talking
02:03about you, Ilhan. Our eyes are on the state of Iran. I hope they're not trying to build up again,
02:09because if they are, we're going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup. So I
02:16hope Iran is not trying to build up. I hope they're not doing it because we don't want to waste the
02:21fuel on a B2. It's a 37-hour trip both ways. I don't want to waste a lot of fuel.
02:27When Trump says don't, he means it. If Hamas doesn't stop the shenanigans,
02:34they're getting wiped out too. If they don't disarm as they agreed to do,
02:40they agreed to it, and then they'll be held to pay for them.
02:45Trump's calling the shots around the world right from his Mar-a-Lago escape.
02:49Not only did Trump throw his swanky Christmas party, but he had lots of visitors too.
02:55Today, Bibi came and gave his favorite president the grandest of gifts.
03:01We decided to break a convention too, or create a new one. And that is to award
03:05the Israel Prize, which in almost our 80 years, we've never awarded it to a non-Israeli.
03:13And we're going to award it this year to President Trump. This was announced formally
03:18over lunch by our Minister of Education, who's responsible for the Israel Prize. It's going
03:27to be awarded to President Donald J. Trump for his tremendous contributions to Israel and
03:33the Jewish people.
03:34And Trump is reminding the world who got the job done.
03:38Put it this way, every hostage just about that's been released was released because of me, Steve
03:47Whitcoff, Jared Kushner, my whole team, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, they were all released because
03:53of us. None were released in the Biden administration. None.
03:57That is true. Families are together for the first time in three years, just in time for
04:05the holidays. And all Trump wanted for Christmas was peace. Zelensky came by for Christmas dinner
04:12and even wore his best suit. Trump thought he was in such a great mood that he even threw
04:20some food at the press.
04:21...outside and have some food. Would you like to have some food or do you consider that a
04:27bribe and therefore you cannot write honestly or therefore you have to write a bad story?
04:34Okay, because if you'd like, would you like something to eat at this time? Yes or no? You can speak.
04:39Yes, sir.
04:40Yes? Okay. Margo, take him outside. Tell the chef.
04:44And they were so thankful he offered them lunch.
04:50Again, today.
04:52You'd like you can come up and have lunch like you did yesterday. Would you like that or not?
04:56Do you want that? Because some of them think it's terrible. It's a bribe.
05:00But, you know, a bribe for $25. I don't know. If you'd like, you can go. And if you don't,
05:06you can stand in a driveway and melt.
05:10Zee loved Palm Beach, too. So much, he's starting to ask, D.C. who?
05:16He walked in. He said, this place is gorgeous. I don't think he wants to go to the White House.
05:20I don't think he wants to go to the White House anymore. That's the problem.
05:22I'm ready to go to the White House.
05:23I know.
05:25It is. The White House is a very special place. And so is this. I hope you enjoyed it.
05:30Trump loves being the gracious host, especially when he had a peace deal ready for dessert.
05:39Sources say a deal between Russia and Ukraine is closer than ever. If Trump has to go to Kiev to get the deal through, he will.
05:47I've offered to go and speak to their parliament. And, you know, if that would help. I don't know if that would help. I think it would probably help. But I don't even know if that's.
05:57You're welcome.
05:57Yeah. No, I know.
05:59Always.
05:59So I'm not sure that it would be really necessary. But if it would help save 25,000 lives a month or whatever it may be, I would certainly be willing to do that.
06:11And Putin might be ready to salsa dance, too.
06:14I saw a very interesting President Putin today. I mean, he he wants to see it happen. He wants to see it. He told me very strongly. I believe him. Don't forget, we went through the Russia, Russia, Russia hooks together.
06:30I think we're going to get there. I know. I know him very well. I was on the phone with him for almost, I guess, two and a half hours. They're just telling me now. It's a long time. We discussed a lot of things. We didn't talk about the weather.
06:41Although Zelensky isn't so sure.
06:46Is there any indication that you see that Vladimir Putin wants peace by what he's doing or saying?
06:54Me not be honest. And I don't see it because, first of all, I don't hear it publicly. His messages, they go. I mean, he doesn't speak about peace.
07:08Now he doesn't speak. He says that he can go further. It's not the signals of peace.
07:16Trump knows the war is a lose-lose for both sides. And the longer it goes, the worse it gets.
07:22What happens in a few weeks if things sputter? What are you prepared to do?
07:27They keep fighting. And they keep dying. No good. But if things don't happen, they keep fighting. And they keep dying. And we don't want that to happen. He doesn't want it to happen. President Putin doesn't want it to happen either.
07:41The president's ready to get this war over with so he can shift his full attention back to where it matters, our own backyard. And he has his A-team handling it. Even MSNBC knows it.
07:55I think the establishment in Washington is something to learn from Trump's unconventional diplomacy. Totally breaking diplomatic precedent. Look at his diplomats. I call them cowboy diplomats. Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff. They have no experience. And yet, sometimes they get stuff done.
08:12The Biden doctrine who? There's a new sheriff in town. And everyone knows his motto. Mess around and find out. Medal of Honor recipient David Bellavia joins me now. David, thank you for joining us. Great to see you this evening. So this is what America First peace through strength looks like, I guess.
08:36This is what it looks like. And, you know, you almost need, like, that lamb before, the mint before you eat the lamb. You need that cleansing for years to truly appreciate what American power looks like. I mean, we've got on Capitol Hill, we've got Democrats talking about this 20-point peace plan with Ukraine and Russia. And they're still bringing up Crimea. I mean, you want to talk about shelf life. You've got a better chance of changing the ending to Rocky IV than you do of negotiating Crimea.
09:06Crimea at this point. And remember, when the Belarusians and the Russians came over the borders of Ukraine, the Javelin missiles that the Ukrainians were using, that was a gift from Trump first administration. Obama was giving away the blankets and the MREs. Biden was playing Hamlet.
09:27But the absurdity of what we're even dealing with, with foreign policy, with our border, with all the issues that we're seeing domestically, with this economy, with energy exploration.
09:39I mean, this all has to do with national security, from the top all the way down to the bottom. And we're getting a lesson right now in real time.
09:46So give people an idea about what this means for people like yourself who served and who are currently serving.
09:57And I often think about the Gold Star Moms who who grieve over the loss of their sons and daughters in in the United States military.
10:07What is this kind of renewed, focused foreign policy mean for them?
10:14Well, there's not a piece of dirt outside of the United States of America that's worth your son or daughter.
10:20There's there's there's no geographical terrain feature that's worth going to Arlington Cemetery and bowing your head in prayer, saying goodbye to someone.
10:29There has to be something more that you're asking of the men and women who serve this country, the Constitution, the way of life, our families.
10:37We fall in love with our hometowns before we love fall in love with our country.
10:41And that's what we're fighting for each and every day.
10:44And so when you have a president that is telling you that I'm not going to send 50,000 hundred first airborne soldiers into into Venezuela,
10:52if we can do it smart, if we can do it the right way, if we can punch back, if we can tell the Iranians, hey, hey, listen, your adventurism is over.
11:04No one's playing games anymore.
11:05The Iranians have thousands of American soldiers blood on their hands, what they did in Iraq, what they did in Afghanistan.
11:13How does Trump handle these situations?
11:16This president talked when he ran for president about not starting new wars.
11:20That's exactly what this foreign policy is demonstrating right now.
11:24You don't have to put men and women in harm's way to send a message that the American people will not be intimidated and we won't back down.
11:33And the other side of that is that actually prevents more hostilities.
11:38Showing what you're capable of.
11:41Sending a message, you know, stops adventurism like we saw in the Bush administration, quite frankly.
11:47Yeah, well, a realm where red lines actually mean something.
11:53You know, I was struck by the images today of Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago with the president.
11:58And it was such a striking difference from 10 months ago when Zelensky was at the White House and got a full dressing down.
12:08What do you make of that transformation in that relationship?
12:11Oh, it is. Well, first of all, his his English has gotten a lot better, too.
12:16I don't know if you noticed that.
12:17But there's something to be said that that February 25 meeting was a disaster.
12:21And and clearly that message resonated in Ukraine.
12:25But look, Zelensky alleges that we're two points, two issues away from having a deal.
12:31We've got 91 drones over the weekend, over the last 24 hours that allegedly went towards Putin that came from him.
12:39He wished Putin's death over Christmas.
12:42We get it. This is a war. Right.
12:44And the Russians are going to throw as they have for 200 years.
12:48Their military machine is a machine of attrition.
12:51They will they will hemorrhage young lives just to take, you know, two two kilometers.
12:57Zelensky has got to make a decision.
12:58And this decision has to be end this war right now.
13:01And the terrain argument is nonsense.
13:03Right. Right.
13:06Well, it's going to be a a crucial couple of weeks for sure.
13:10And I just am always reminded I'm so grateful it's Trump and not somebody else handling David Bellavia.
13:17Thank you so much for joining us.
13:21Now, let's bring in Outkick dot com founder Clay Travis.
13:25Great to see you this evening, Clay.
13:27You know, it's really interesting to look at these images today out of Mar-a-Lago and think about the previous administration.
13:33You had Joe Biden, who is probably the most experienced and qualified foreign policy expert diplomat that has ever been invented by Washington, D.C.
13:46And he managed to screw up everything he touched in the world, including allowing two new wars to start and handing massive swaths of countryside where we lost our own blood and treasure for 10 years over 20 years over the Taliban.
14:05What is it about President Trump that allows him to be so much so brilliant at this game where the greatest expert was such a monstrous failure?
14:16Because ultimately, Trump understands that getting peace is about making deals and building coalitions.
14:25And I was struck when you showed the clip earlier, Charlie, on the on the show where Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were even praised a bit by MSNBC.
14:37It's because Trump not only is a builder and a dealmaker, he's enabling builders and dealmakers to get deals done.
14:45And that's why. Happy New Year. Merry Christmas to everybody out there.
14:49I really legitimately feel like, Charlie, we are seeing the greatest first year presidency in any of our lives.
14:57I mean, when you consider the number of peace deals that Trump has brought around the world, we're getting closer and closer in Ukraine.
15:04The president of Netanyahu just came and gave Trump the first award in 80 years to a non-Israeli.
15:13You remember, for 10 years, we've heard Trump was Hitler.
15:16If you look at the growth rate, 4.3 percent, if you look at inflation, 2.7 percent, all time record highs in the stock market.
15:26Nobody's even talking about this. Murders are going to decline 20 percent this year.
15:32Trump has saved thousands of lives of Americans and the economy.
15:38The border is completely shut down.
15:40I just don't think we're getting enough recognition for what has been accomplished.
15:44And when I saw both of these with Netanyahu and with Zelensky, it just further epitomizes Trump's incredible first year, 2.0.
15:54And, you know, Clay, I think you put your finger on the most important thing, and that is that he's a builder.
15:59And the thing about builders, and you know builders, I know builders, we've worked with them, we've worked for them in our lives, you can't put, like, a brick on thin air.
16:08You actually have to put a brick on another brick, and you've got to get them to hold—you have to deal with reality.
16:13And this is, you know, everything about Trump is dealing with reality and building something out of it that can withstand, you know, the realities of physics and science.
16:29But it does kind of make me wonder whether or not in time we won't see more people like the guy on MSNBC starting to recognize—you know, will history give Trump the credit that he deserves?
16:43Yes, 100 percent. I wish we could read the history books from 100 years from now.
16:49They'll be writing about the 2024 election. The fight, fight, fight response of Trump will become iconic after everybody watching this right now is dead.
16:58I think it will take generations for Trump to get credit for what he has accomplished, and that's because so many people have Trump derangement syndrome, and their brains are broken.
17:07And they refuse to acknowledge all of the positivity that's going on, Charlie.
17:11So, yeah, look, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. I can't imagine things going much better. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for 26.
17:18Yeah, and I think you're right. It'll take the passing of every single TDS journalist to go by the wayside before history starts to recognize Trump for who he is.
17:29Clay Travis, great to see you tonight, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
17:33Thank you. Thanks, everybody.
17:38All right, primetime goes inside Minnesota daycares.
17:48Arrgh! Move over, pirates. Nick Shirley is the captain now. He's investigating Minneapolis, and it's not pretty.
17:56This building alone, Quality Learning Center, is a daycare, yet they spelled learning wrong, and they said leering.
18:05This daycare alone in 2025 has received $1.9 million from the government.
18:12And the strange things about these child care centers is there's no one here right now.
18:17It's midday on a weekday, and if you were to try to go inside, it's completely closed, and the windows are all blacked out.
18:26That learning center racked up 95 violations, yet somehow walked away with millions in your taxpayer money.
18:38Shirley infiltrated more daycares, but nobody wanted to talk.
18:43I would like to check a child in the daycare.
18:46Why?
18:46I would like to see if I could bring little Joey, my son little Joey here.
18:50Is there paperwork? Can I check out the daycare?
18:51And you got $2.66 million this year in funding, and $2.5 million last year.
18:59We're just wondering where the kids are.
19:01Hello, we'd like to ask where the money's going.
19:07This guy's been investigating fraud for years.
19:10He's been to 50 daycares, every one a ghost town.
19:14No kids aboard, just pirates.
19:18And treasures missing.
19:20The ones that I've gotten data on, they average about $2.5 million a year,
19:27and a lot of them will say they have anywhere from 80 to 120 children.
19:32I've been to literally 40 or 50 of these child care,
19:36and there never has been a single child at any one of them, ever.
19:40Morning, afternoon, evening.
19:41Prime Time decided to give one of the daycares a call.
19:47Instead of a front desk, we got Tim Waltz's office.
19:51That's strange.
19:52The fraud is no surprise.
19:54A year ago, Waltz bragged about how easy he made it to open a daycare.
20:01As far as child care on this, we have to make it easier for folks
20:05to be able to get into that business,
20:07and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that.
20:09We were able to do it in Minnesota, and I'm still telling you this.
20:14Boy, did he make it easy.
20:17So easy, any pirate with paperwork is allowed to cash in.
20:21No children necessary.
20:24Timmy doesn't seem too concerned, though.
20:26His ship's taking on water.
20:29But hey, it's Catterday!
20:32In Tim's world, he's not the pirate.
20:36He's the hero.
20:38Quote,
20:39The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud
20:43and asked the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action.
20:48He has strengthened oversight, including launching investigations,
20:51into these specific facilities,
20:53one of which was already closed.
20:56Pirates always need a fall guy.
20:59And MSNBC's eager to provide one.
21:03And this is what happens when you weaponize and politicize federal agencies
21:07that are not meant to be, you know, politicized.
21:11But of course, the other factor here is that
21:13because it looks like the Somali population in Minnesota,
21:18the Somali immigrant population may have been involved in some way,
21:23those people are being scapegoated.
21:27So why did it take years for the fraud to surface?
21:31Captain Shirley says they're afraid of being called the R-word.
21:36Racist.
21:38Because it's Somalians that are committing this fraud,
21:40people are scared to be calling Islamophobic, racist,
21:43and which has nothing to do with what's going on,
21:46because fraud is fraud.
21:48But 47 isn't afraid.
21:50He says it's all hands on deck.
21:52But Gnome's already got boots on the ground,
21:55and they're going door to door.
21:57Americans are on board.
21:59They see fraud in their state, and they want it gone.
22:03Ohio's already calling for the captain.
22:06Nick Shirley, I hope you see this video.
22:09Please come to Columbus, Ohio.
22:12The reporting you did in Minnesota was amazing.
22:17Thank you for that.
22:18And if you come to Columbus, Ohio, you will find the exact same fraud.
22:24You will see the exact same things.
22:26Daycares everywhere.
22:27The home health care.
22:30Senator Ron Johnson joins me now.
22:32Great to see you, Senator.
22:33Thank you for joining us.
22:34So what does it say, what does it tell you that Tim Walz claims that he has spent years cracking down on fraud in his state,
22:43and then we're looking at this rampant fraud in his state?
22:50Well, you obviously can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
22:54That's the first thing you have to recognize.
22:55But, Charlie, the other thing you have to understand is what we're seeing in Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg.
23:01I've said it before.
23:02The Somalis, they're new to this country.
23:04They're amateurs when it comes to welfare fraud.
23:07We've got organizations who've been at this fraudulent game for decades, and we pretty well legalize fraud.
23:13I mean, just take Obamacare, a couple examples.
23:16The Obamacare expansion to Medicaid, you know, Medicaid expansion.
23:21Because for every dollar the state spends on an able-bodied single adult, childless adult,
23:30the federal government matches it nine bucks versus a disabled child for every dollar, we match it $1.33.
23:35That's provided provider taxes, provider fees, massive fraud, tens of billions of dollars.
23:43You take a look at the enhanced subsidies, the temporary COVID-era subsidies, that's resulting in no premium policies,
23:54somewhere 20 to 30, maybe higher, $30 billion worth of fraud per year,
23:59and yet you have Democrats who just want to extend it, no reforms whatsoever, just clean extension.
24:05They're happy to perpetuate that fraud, and you have to understand these programs were set up to make fraud easy.
24:12They don't check eligibility. It ends up being a ticket to voter registration.
24:16So they want to sign up as many people as possible, make them independent on the state, program after program after program,
24:21and they're fleecing the American taxpayer, they're fleecing the government to the tunes of literally hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
24:28And I don't think you can separate it from the Democrat Party's Joe Biden, Tim Walz, Kamala Harris,
24:36the Democrat Party's open policy of open borders either.
24:40And when you have a country like Somalia, which I think has a GDP of about $14 billion for the entire country,
24:48and then you have $9 billion in fraud just in Minnesota alone,
24:53it's really not all that surprising that you're drawing all of these illegals or legals across our open borders into the country
25:03to commit fraud because it's more profitable than staying in Somalia.
25:09That was the game plan. Open up the borders. Flood blue states with more people who would be counted in the census.
25:16That gives them more members of Congress. Make them more dependent on the government.
25:19That grows government. That gives them greater power.
25:22Again, that is what the Democrat Party is all about. Power.
25:25Again, the shutdown wasn't about literally the enhanced subsidy.
25:29It was about making sure that President Trump has no success.
25:32They want, they're happy to take anybody hostage, whatever collateral damage, bad economy,
25:39so that they can win in November and retain power.
25:44Well, Senator Johnson, we look forward to having you back on many times as Congress digs into this
25:50and gets to the bottom of all of it and holds everyone accountable.
25:54And hopefully we see a lot of people rot in jail over this.
25:58Senator Ron Johnson, thank you for joining us.
26:02Breaking news on Tyler Robinson. Be right back.
26:09Fox News alert.
26:11A judge just ruled a secret hearing in the Charlie Kirk murder case will be unsealed.
26:18Matt Finn has more.
26:20Charlie, the now unsealed transcript from that private October 24th hearing is not earth shattering,
26:26but there are a few interesting moments and portions that were redacted.
26:30At one point in the hearing, there is a line redacted right before one of Tyler Robinson's attorneys
26:36talks about Robinson's right to confidentiality about his medical records.
26:40The transcript reads, when Mr. Robinson was first arrested, and then the rest of that line is redacted.
26:46It continues, and I think it's interesting that the Sheriff's Department hasn't provided the court with any information as to why that is,
26:53that he has convinced the Sheriff's Department that that's not necessary.
26:56So it's not clear what may have happened or what was said that was redacted shortly after Robinson was first arrested.
27:03Perhaps it had something to do with any medications he was taking or something related to his health that he revealed to law enforcement.
27:09Now, in another portion of the transcript, Robinson's defense discusses why it wants the Utah County's attorney's office removed from the case,
27:18arguing in part that one of the attorneys had a family member present at Charlie Kirk's assassination.
27:23The transcript reads, the Utah County attorneys have advised us that a family member of one of the attorneys was present at the incident at which Mr. Kirk was shot and killed.
27:32This child was present, observed it, was within 85 feet of Mr. Kirk.
27:38When he was killed, he had to flee.
27:40Now, most of the hearing also had to do with whether Robinson can wear civilian clothing
27:44and any security concerns around Robinson having one hand unshackled to take notes during the trial.
27:52Also, the Utah County Sheriff's Office pointed out on the record that it was not the agency that first released Robinson's booking photo
27:58and that it was concerned when that photo got out.
28:02Thanks, Charlie.
28:05Thank you, Matt.
28:06Sure.

28:14And he joins us now.
28:15Professor Turley, thank you so much for joining us.
28:18Thank you, Charlie.
28:19I'm struck by the fact that this assassination was, I think, probably the most public, graphic, and gruesome assassination that I can think of in history.
28:30Why would there be redactions of anything in a case like this?
28:37You know, there's an interesting dynamic to a case like this, Charlie.
28:40I'm speaking as a criminal defense attorney that this is one of the most complete cases for prosecution I've ever seen.
28:48I've said before that the prosecutors could lose 90 percent of the evidence in this case and likely still secure an easy conviction.
28:56So it actually puts more pressure on the judge because the best avenues for the defense is to see errors occur at the trial, to create appealable issues.
29:08Because right now, they don't have a lot to play with.
29:12So this judge is being very deliberative.
29:14He's trying to be very cautious.
29:16Now, in some of these early motions, they've got to make decisions as to what evidence can come into the trial.
29:22And that means a lot of raw stuff is discussed in these hearings.
29:27And until the judge makes a final decision on what that evidence will be, he's going to be very cautious in not having some of this get out.
29:36Now, when it comes to the medications of Robinson, it's coming in.
29:40I mean, there's not going to be a really strong basis to say that the jury or the public should not know what medications he was taking.
29:50That's relevant to the crime and to the underlying facts.
29:57Do you think that, you know, I'm always hesitant to endorse television cameras in courtrooms, although I'm a, you know, I like to open the books on everything.
30:09But I think sometimes cameras have a negative effect on certain ceremonies such as trials.
30:17But in a case like this where you have you already have a lot of conspiracy theories and a lot of questions that are swirling, I do think openness is the only way you deal with that kind of thing.
30:29And openness in a trial like setting is the best way to answer most of those questions for the public, not just to guarantee a fair trial.
30:38Now, I think you're absolutely right, Charlie.
30:41What this the Kirk family is dealing with, what people at this organization have been dealing with has been horrific.
30:49These these these conspiracy theories are really grotesque.
30:54And they're re-victimizing many of the people involved in this crime.
30:59But also, I've been an advocate for for cameras in courtrooms for many years.
31:04The framers not only believed in public trials that's embodied in our Constitution, there were great believers in technology.
31:11And I think that they would love cameras in the courtroom.
31:15It makes no sense that a couple dozen people can wait in line all day and they get to go in when the rest of the public could view what is a political assassination trial that impacts us all.
31:27Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am partly biased by having seen what cameras in Congress did to Congress.
31:36And I'm highly skeptical.
31:39But I love your approach to openness.
31:42And I think that it is desperately needed.
31:45Professor Turley, thank you so much for joining us.
31:48Thanks, Charlie.
31:52Nancy Pelosi breaks your silence.
31:54That's next.
31:57So can you guess this person?
32:00He's illegal, a gangster and a daddy.
32:05No, it's not Brian Kilmeade.
32:06It's Kilmar.
32:08He's on TikTok now.
32:10The Maryland dad's home for the holidays.
32:12But someone might want to tell him Homan's boys are hitting their new quotas.
32:18Border Patrol applications are up 70 percent from one year ago.
32:21Even the Washington Post admits ICE is bagging bad hombres at a record rate.
32:29And Latinos are loving it, too.
32:31They're not protesting.
32:33They're applying.
32:34And now CNN is getting rare access inside the process of training Border Patrol agents.
32:41Many of them are Latino.
32:42So this is a morning inspection.
32:45And there's about 1,100 recruits.
32:47You all are a tremendous part of national security.
32:50And we sincerely appreciate that you've taken the first step and that you've signed up.
32:55Latinos joining the force sounds like progress, unless you're crying Karen Bass.
33:04Well, in a way, I think it's sad.
33:06I think that those Border Patrol agents are going to have a difficult time when they're out in the field and they see what actually happens in real life, separate from their training.
33:16But I do understand that their primary incentive is financial.
33:21I think it just speaks to the financial situation that millions of Americans find themselves in.
33:28And I definitely am concerned about that report.
33:31Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, now, Democrats are missing out on the golden age.
33:38Americans are starting to reap the rewards.
33:40And they're opening their wallets.
33:43The amount spent through the Thanksgiving weekend on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, through all the months of November and the first part of December, it's up 4.25%, 4.5% versus last year.
33:58And this is just the appetizer.
34:00MAGA is already preheating the oven.
34:03As I've described it, 2025 was setting the table.
34:08And especially on the economy, I think the feast and the banquet is going to be in 2026.
34:13We're going to have a gigantic refund year in the first quarter because no one changed their working Americans did not change their withholding.
34:22So I think households could see, depending on the number of workers, $1,000, $2,000 refunds.
34:29While the White House fights for your future, Democrats are stuck in the past.
34:38Nancy Pelosi is reliving her greatest hits.
34:40People like the tearing up of the speech.
34:44I didn't intend to go to speech to tear it up.
34:46But I just, the first part of it, I tore a page because he was lying.
34:52And then the next page, and then the next page.
34:54And I thought it was a manifesto of lies all throughout.
34:58So I better just tear up the whole speech.
35:01Now, the speeches are on strong paper.
35:06So you have to do it a few times to get it done.
35:10But I had no intention.
35:12I thought my staff was going to die.
35:15So is Nancy going to risk it all?
35:17One person who was responsible for the impeachments of Donald Trump is Donald Trump.
35:25It's not something you decide to do.
35:27It's what violation of the Constitution he engages in.
35:32So that's not something you say, oh, we're going to impeach him.
35:34But you can have the power of subpoena to get information from these agencies of government who are not supplying any information.
35:45Ooh, he still needs to warm up to the idea.
35:51But Swalwell's eyes are lighting up like he just saw a fang-fang for the first time.
35:57Congressman, it sounds like you're saying that inherent contempt, holding these officials in inherent contempt,
36:01or even the possible vote on impeachment of someone like Pam Boddy.
36:05Or restricting funding.
36:07Yeah, or restricting funding.
36:08I mean, it sounds like, though, that may not happen until or if Democrats actually win the House in 2026.
36:16Is that right?
36:17Yes.
36:17And so we have to telegraph that that's what we are willing to do if we are given the majority.
36:24Andrew Colvitt, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, joins us now.
36:28Great to see you, Andrew.
36:29Andrew, you know, I'm still sort of amazed at the whole concept that there's nothing more racist than the idea that Democrats and Democrats alone espouse.
36:42Which is that if you're a legal Hispanic voter in America, you love open borders, even though that brings all of the problems mostly to your neighborhood.
36:56I can't think of anything more racist than that.
37:00Yeah, thanks for having me, Charlie.
37:02And I totally agree with you.
37:03The Hispanic community wants law and order.
37:06They want a strong border.
37:09They want to keep out the problems and the crime that they fled from.
37:12I mean, it's 101.
37:13It's basic.
37:14And it's the soft bigotry of low expectations.
37:17And they do this with voter ID and the black community and so many other things.
37:21It just makes a lot of sense.
37:24They know it.
37:24And they trust Donald Trump.
37:26We saw that in the election results in 2024.
37:28They love what they're seeing on the border and they're flocking to apply for border patrol jobs because, of course, they want to protect their families and their communities as much or more than we do.
37:37You know, and I remember one of the last conversations I had with Charlie.
37:44We talked about that very issue and he talked about how important the fairness issue of enforcing immigration laws, how important that was, in particular to young people who feel like the system is kind of rigged against them.
37:59And then this is the most glaring, you know, the open borders policies was the most glaring unfairness that they saw.
38:07Yeah, 100 percent.
38:08Yeah.
38:09Yeah.
38:10100 percent.
38:11I talk with Charlie a lot about that same thing, Charlie.
38:12And, you know, what what we always saw and we saw this on college campuses is young people felt betrayed by their own country.
38:19They felt like they are American officials were making way and making subsidies, whether that be through NGOs or taxpayer funded debit cards or whatever for illegals and for people that weren't born here, that we don't have a obligation to take care of.
38:35And meanwhile, native born American sons and daughters are getting left by the wayside.
38:39And this was a huge animating issue in 2024.
38:43It remains a huge animating issue.
38:44They want a country that is committed to them and their well-being and they don't want to feel like an afterthought.
38:50They don't want to feel toxically masculine.
38:52They want to feel believed in.
38:53They want to feel spoken for.
38:55And President Trump and this administration is doing that.
38:58And they're delivering win after win after win.
39:00And I agree with Scott Besson that we're going to see the feast and the banquet in 2026 because we are in a race against the clock and we need to get this done for Gen Z and the next generation.
39:08Well, Andrew Colvitt, thank you for all you all do to get that word out.
39:15And thank you for joining us tonight.
39:16Great to see you.
39:18All right.
39:19More primetime.
39:20Straight ahead.
