Thank you. Thank you.
Well, first of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to come on and speak with you today, Charlie. It's really a pleasure. I've known Tulsi a really long time. I was even trying to remember how long, I think it's like eight years at this point. And we became friends through Van Jones of all people who said that we were a lot alike and he wanted us to become friends. And

We just had this lunch one day in New York after she came on The View and we like closed the restaurant down and we're like crying over like bonding over different things. And we've just maintained a really close friendship for years now. She's the godmother to my eldest daughter and she is one of the greatest patriots, humans. She's the bravest, most talented woman I've ever met.

It's a privilege to be her friend. I don't talk to her that way that we're like normal friends. I don't. tell her this all the time, but she really loves America and she loves God. And the national security of this country is something she takes to heart with her every single night. It's like a burden she takes with her.

And I just think we are so lucky as Americans to have her put in this position. And quite frankly, I'm horrified that she's having any trouble at all. I'm horrified that there are senators like Young and Lankford that are hesitating in any way. I think it's despicable. She's a combat veteran. She's more accomplished, in my opinion, than anyone who's being put up.

In this segment of cabinet members, I'm a fan of RFKs and I like Kash Patel as well. This is not to denigrate them, but she is highly qualified and it is imperative to this country and to the administration that she gets over the line.

Look, I'm not traditionally MAGA, as you know, even though I'm really happy with this moment. I was telling your producer, it's like a time of new hope for, I think, all Republicans. And I'm really, quite frankly, enjoying the cultural shift towards the right. I don't understand because I know that Senator Lankford and Senator Young come from states that are basically 100% MAGA.

I think all counties in Oklahoma went for Trump. I didn't understand their line of questioning other than I think there's been a lot of really disgusting and abhorrent propaganda against, again, a current member of the military has put her life on the line multiple times for our freedom.

I think there's been a lot of slander, sadly, from people like Hillary Clinton and Barry Weiss on Joe Rogan that took on a life of its own and, quite frankly, wasn't squandered enough. I know her so well. And again, I'm someone like my dad couldn't legally travel to Russia because we were sanctioned. Do you think I would be friends with someone who was compromised by Russia? It's absurdity.

And I just find it disgusting left wing propaganda that for some reason there are some Republicans that have bought into. But I would I just want to tell you, Mr. Kirk, today, if anyone votes against her, I promise you I will do anything in my power to make sure there are consequences for this or RFK for that matter, because this is more it's about more than just Tulsi and RFK.

This is about the new coalition in the Republican Party and particularly women and moms voting. who came out in droves, a lot of first-time Trump voters who came out and voted because they wanted this squad of people. They wanted the dream team, which includes RFK and Tulsi Gabbard. And they deserve to have their choices in the cabinet. It is not up to just these people.
