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.

44.852 - 66.653 Charlie Kirk

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.

94.922 - 119.122 Charlie Kirk

This is your go-to news source for all confirmation process as the administration starts to take form. But there is some major breaking news. President Trump sent his envoy, Steve Witkoff, on the other side of the planet saying, get the hostages home. Get the hostages home before the first day of my administration. The world knows that President Trump is coming.

119.462 - 142.457 Charlie Kirk

President Trump said if the hostages are not released, all hell will break loose. And Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on a ceasefire deal to end their 15-month war in Gaza. Now, this is phenomenal news. Whether it's going to last or not remains to be seen. Under the deal, a ceasefire will last for at least six weeks. Hamas will release dozens of hostages.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the Gaza peace deal?

2247.712 - 2269.213 Charlie Kirk

We have live coverage. It's almost like a March Madness game where you got, you know, three or four games coming up at once. Senator Ted Cruz, I believe, is chairing the Transportation Committee. I don't know the exact name. I think it's Transportation and Security. Let's listen in on Senator Cruz. and his new chairmanship, and Mr. Duffy, who is going to replace Pete Buttigieg.

2269.613 - 2281.024 Charlie Kirk

By the way, this doesn't get enough coverage. The transportation department is very important. Looks like Senator Schmidt, who's now going to be asking a question of Mr. Duffy. Let's throw it there.

...of kids with special needs. My Stephen's 20 now, but it's the reason I do this, and the perspective... as you know, that you gain is life-changing and I'm very grateful. So thanks for sharing that. Even though I didn't get to hear that public portion, we talked about it in my office. I want to just start by saying, I extend my congratulations to you and your family.

2306.851 - 2323.699 Unknown Speaker

You're going to do a great job. I thought our conversation in my office was great. We talked about a bunch of different things. And I think the American people deserve new leadership in this position and be focused on the right thing. So I just want to rifle through a couple of questions.

0

2323.759 - 2342.613 Unknown Speaker

One of the things I think in refocusing the attention of the office and one of the real challenges I think we've dealt with the last four years is is this obsession that the Biden administration has had with DEI. And... Pete Buttigieg, for example, implemented this and was focused on this.

2342.653 - 2363.767 Unknown Speaker

And a month before the first national ground stop of our national airspace since 9-11, he was busy renaming the air notice system to be more inclusive. I just think it's such a priority problem that we've had the last four years. I really welcome your leadership. And so how do you intend to tackle that to sort of like refocus the

2364.568 - 2370.21 Unknown Speaker

the department on building big, beautiful roads, as President Trump says, right?

2370.43 - 2392.994 Unknown Speaker

I appreciate the question. When we talk about safety, we're talking about getting on airplanes and flying through the airspace. So air traffic controllers and pilots and the mechanics and the machinists that build the planes, we want the hiring decisions to be based on merit. We want excellence. We want the best people in these jobs.

2393.074 - 2415.471 Unknown Speaker

Now, we can have a conversation and should have a conversation about what communities are we drawing from? Are we accessing the right communities saying, hey, there's great opportunities at Boeing or one of the airlines or at air traffic control? Accessing a lot of communities with the information about opportunities in these fields is something that I would commit to doing.
