What is the significance of Matt Gaetz's nomination?
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
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.

Okay, we are very thankful to have tonight someone who is pinch-hitting for Scott Besson because Scott had a lot going on, but we'll take Matt Gaetz as a replacement, won't we, everybody?
Give it up, everybody, for Matt Gaetz. So, Matt, welcome to Turning Point.
I didn't know there were this many conservatives in California. You got all of them, Charlie. I do the Matt Gaetz Show on One America News, and my producer called me and said, Matt, if you show up at the Dell Coronado tonight, you can be on the best podcast around. And I just assumed it would be with Gavin Newsom. And it's the Charlie Kirk Show.
That is true. So, Matt, what's been keeping you busy?
I tell you, mostly cheering on what I believe to be the greatest progress that we have seen in the White House in my lifetime. And I know in moments like this, there's always a sense to say, well, how come we haven't strung Anthony Fauci up yet by his entrails and imprisoned Liz Cheney and expelled Adam Schiff from planet Earth on an Elon Musk rocket yet? And I pause for what we are enjoying and what we have achieved, and it is remarkable, and it must be nurtured. I heard in hour after hour of congressional testimony from Biden administration officials, Mayorkas, that the border was just an unsolvable problem, that it was like a Rubik's cube, that we just couldn't figure it out under any circumstance.
And now we see with vision and resolve and with a few high profile deportations to some very unpleasant places, not only is our government deporting people, people are deporting themselves. Thank you. And when we think about the core covenant President Trump has to rescue this economy from the wilderness that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sent us out to, I am proud that we have someone who is willing to do what is necessary to reset what was a deeply unfair international economic order. And I learned in Congress in some pretty tense moments that leverage is really only about two things. how much pain you're willing to endure, and how much you're willing to dish out. And I think the old Republican Party just wanted to endure pain, and I think the MAGA movement actually wants to dish a little bit out every once in a while.
And so, Matt, what would you say are some of the victories that are so noticeably, not just different, but better than Trump won?
The change in culture. We saw, and Trump won. Okay, we spent every day waking up with everyone trying to tell us we were a bunch of Russian agents. I was Putin's lawyer. Trump was Putin's puppet. We won the election because Vladimir Putin told everybody to not vote for Hillary Clinton. And we couldn't collude with Vladimir Putin. We could barely collude with ourselves to put on the next Trump rally during that just electric and exciting campaign that we were a part of. And so there was an effort to delegitimize. And I think that was upsetting and frustrating. And also in Congress, you had people like Paul Ryan actively working to derail the Trump administration. And those people had power. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan would have been just fine. if we'd have found out that Trump did something illegal and we'd have ended up with President Mike Pence. But now, now you have a cabinet that is actually for the president, and that's something. That's pretty exciting. We were dealing with Jeff Sessions, who was off making excuses for Hillary Clinton.
