[00:00] we absolutely need Tulsi gabard and

[00:02] Bobby Kennedy it is Mission critical top

[00:04] priority of this program top priority of

[00:06] Turning Point action Tulsi is one of the

[00:08] greatest people I've ever had a chance

[00:10] to know and joining us now is a dear

[00:12] friend of Tulsi gabard uh Megan McCain

[00:14] Megan great to see you Megan you and I

[00:16] have been on different sides of certain

[00:18] issues during the Trump era uh but we're

[00:21] on 100% agreement on tulsey gabard and

[00:23] Bobby Kennedy so great to have you here

[00:25] and I've really enjoyed your commentary

[00:28] in support of both please walk us

[00:30] through your friendship with Tulsi

[00:31] gabard and why you believe Tulsi should

[00:33] be confirmed as dni director well first

[00:36] of all thank you for giving me the

[00:37] opportunity to come on and speak with

[00:39] you today uh Charlie it's really a

[00:41] pleasure um I've known Telsa a really

[00:43] long time I was even trying to remember

[00:44] how long I think it's like eight years

[00:45] at this point and um we became friends

[00:48] through van Jones of all people who said

[00:50] that we were a lot alike and he wanted

[00:51] us to become friends and we just had

[00:54] this lunch one day in New York after she

[00:56] came on The View and we like closed the

[00:58] restaurant down and we're like crying

[01:00] over like bonding over different things

[01:02] and we've just maintained a really close

[01:04] friendship for years now she's the

[01:05] Godmother to my eldest daughter and

[01:07] she's one of the greatest Patriots um

[01:11] humans she's the bravest most talented

[01:14] woman I've ever met it's a privilege to

[01:16] be her friend um I don't talk to her

[01:18] that way that we're like normal friends

[01:19] I don't like tell her this all the time

[01:21] but um she really loves America and she

[01:24] loves God and the National Security of

[01:26] this country is something she takes to

[01:28] heart with her every single night it's

[01:30] like a burden she takes with her and I

[01:32] just think we are so lucky as Americans

[01:34] to have her put in this position and

[01:37] quite frankly I'm horrified that she's

[01:39] having any trouble at all I'm horrified

[01:41] that there are Senators like young and

[01:42] lenford that are hesitating in any way I

[01:45] think it's despicable she's a combat

[01:46] veteran she's more accomplished in my

[01:48] opinion than anyone who's being put up

[01:50] uh in this segment of cabinet members

[01:52] I'm I'm a fan of rfks and I like cash

[01:54] Patel as well this is not to denigrate

[01:55] them but she is highly qualified and it

[01:58] is imperative to this country and to the

[02:01] administration that she gets over the

[02:03] line I I totally agree with you and so

[02:06] just the objections that some of these

[02:08] senators are raising are so weak and

[02:11] I've I spent a lot of time over the

[02:12] weekend trying to contact some of their

[02:14] senators or friends of them so okay well

[02:16] what is the what is the issue here and

[02:18] you're you're not allowed to use Russian

[02:19] agent because that's BS it's completely

[02:21] nonsensical and it's as if they it's

[02:25] just like weaponized semantics I mean

[02:27] what is it because she has a totally

[02:29] clean FBI background check like Sterling

[02:31] she currently has a security clearance

[02:33] she served her country and continues to

[02:35] serve her country all of these kind of

[02:38] talking points against her are just

[02:40] nonsensical what what is their

[02:42] contention and your message to those

[02:45] Republican Senators that seem to be

[02:48] putting up an unnecessary fight look I'm

[02:52] not traditionally mag as you know even

[02:54] though I'm really happy with this moment

[02:55] I was telling a producer it's like a

[02:57] time of New Hope for I think all

[02:58] Republicans and I'm really quite frankly

[03:00] enjoying the cultural shift towards the

[03:02] right um I don't understand because I

[03:05] know that Senator Langford and senat

[03:07] Senator young come from states that are

[03:09] basically 100% Maga I think all counties

[03:11] in Oklahoma went for Trump um I didn't

[03:14] understand their line of questioning

[03:16] other than I think there's been a lot of

[03:17] really disgusting and abhorent

[03:19] propaganda against again a current

[03:22] member of the military has put her life

[03:24] on the line multiple times for our

[03:25] freedom um I think there's been a lot of

[03:27] slander sadly from people like Hillary

[03:29] Clinton and bar Weiss on Joe Rogan that

[03:31] took on a life of its own and quite

[03:33] frankly wasn't squandered enough I know

[03:35] her so well and again I'm I'm someone

[03:38] like my dad couldn't legally travel to

[03:40] Russia because we were sanctioned do you

[03:41] think I would be friends with someone

[03:42] who was compromised by Russia it's

[03:44] absurdity and I just find it disgusting

[03:47] leftwing propaganda that for some reason

[03:49] there are some Republicans that have

[03:50] bought into but I would I just want to

[03:53] tell you Mr Kirk today if anyone votes

[03:56] against her I promise you I will do

[03:58] anything in my power to make sure there

[04:00] are consequences for this or RFK for

[04:02] that matter because this is more it's

[04:04] about more than just Tulsi and RFK this

[04:06] is about the new Coalition in the

[04:08] Republican party and particularly women

[04:10] and moms who came out in droves a lot of

[04:13] firsttime trump voters who came out and

[04:15] voted because they wanted this you know

[04:17] Squad of people they wanted the dream

[04:19] team which includes RFK and tulsy gabard

[04:21] and they deserve to have their choices

[04:23] in the cabinet it is not up to just

[04:26] these people and you can't give me a

[04:27] real reason you don't like uh you know

[04:29] tulsy other than you know you've you've

[04:32] listened to some propaganda on the

[04:33] internet and I just I'm heartbroken by

[04:35] it but I do think we're going to get her

[04:36] over the line and if for some reason we

[04:38] don't I promise you I there will be hell

[04:41] to pay and I hope that you will join me

[04:42] in

[04:43] getting it I I I will join you in

[04:46] launching primaries against these people

[04:48] it's so inexcusable there there there is

[04:50] there is no argument there I want you to

[04:52] dive deeper into this Megan because I

[04:53] was really taken by something you said

[04:55] on the mark Halprin show that I totally

[04:57] agree that there are Millions we don't

[05:00] know the number but a significant

[05:01] portion of moms and women that are now

[05:05] Republican and voting Republican because

[05:07] of the Bobby Kennedy Tulsi gabard Unity

[05:10] party when I speak to DC insiders they

[05:12] think that's overrated obviously because

[05:15] they're high on their own Supply I don't

[05:17] I know it's not overrated I think it's

[05:18] actually one of the decisive ingredients

[05:21] to this new Republican governing

[05:23] majority please speak more about this a

[05:26] lot of moms and this is obviously

[05:28] anecdotal in my life but every single

[05:30] woman in my life except for like two

[05:32] voted for Trump and some of them were

[05:34] not traditional Trump supporters and it

[05:36] was in no small part because of how

[05:38] radicalized they became during covid

[05:39] with the lockdowns and the vaccines and

[05:41] all the things we already know and RFK

[05:43] and Tulsi gave them a new hope for the

[05:46] future in lots of different ways and

[05:47] also you know trans people in sports

[05:49] like all the culture War things and I

[05:52] think that they gave a safe space to

[05:55] vote for Trump for people that were

[05:56] maybe on the edge or independent or had

[05:58] been Democrats in the past and I think

[06:00] when you look at people like Jessica

[06:01] Krauss who runs the incredible house

[06:02] inhabit Instagram account there is a

[06:05] momentous wave of women in this country

[06:07] who are supporting RFK and Tulsi Gabbert

[06:09] and Trump as a result and I don't want

[06:12] to lose these people I don't want to

[06:13] lose the future we have to start also

[06:15] looking at you know elections four years

[06:17] from now eight years from now I I love

[06:19] this cultural moment right now I've

[06:21] never felt more validated I spent so

[06:23] many years of my life getting my you

[06:24] know what kicked because I was

[06:26] Republican and to see everything I said

[06:28] come true I love this moment I don't

[06:30] want to lose it and RFK and tulsy gabard

[06:32] are integral to making sure we don't

[06:34] lose these people yeah and and I again

[06:36] like again they don't have a senate

[06:37] majority because of James lford okay

[06:39] like let's be honest like millions of

[06:41] moms did not show up to go vote it was

[06:43] because of President Trump's

[06:46] understanding and ability and honestly

[06:47] he deserve a lot of credit for like

[06:48] giving them the highest possible

[06:50] promotions of Tulsi and Bobby Kennedy

[06:52] let's talk about the Bobby Kennedy

[06:53] wrinkle uh for a second because we have

[06:56] touched on tulsey gabard he especially

[06:59] has

[07:00] put a health emphasis and a health focus

[07:02] on the Republican party that moms are

[07:04] very conscientious of that otherwise was

[07:06] not an element you you remember Megan

[07:08] like 10 or 15 years ago that was a

[07:10] primarily Democrat kind of Coalition

[07:13] eating healthy you know having you know

[07:15] having more uh questions about the

[07:18] Health Care system now it seems it has

[07:19] come to the conservative and the

[07:21] Republican party it's not just

[07:23] politically advantageous but it's also

[07:24] the morally right thing to do with our

[07:26] kids being so sick and so inexcusably

[07:28] drowning and chronic illness Bobby

[07:31] Kennedy represents a a 10 to 15% boost I

[07:34] think for the Republican party please

[07:36] speak about

[07:37] that look I was just watching a video

[07:40] right before I came on here about this

[07:41] organic eggs that I personally buy that

[07:43] apparently is really bad for you and if

[07:45] you look at the like subtext of the

[07:46] ingredients it's it's not they're not

[07:48] actually that organic I I think I became

[07:51] much more acutely aware of all of this

[07:53] during Co like everybody else because

[07:55] you know I I I have not given my

[07:57] children the covid vaccine they are

[07:59] vacinated and then by with other

[08:00] vaccines but I'm I'm very fearful of of

[08:03] the covid vaccine and I started reading

[08:05] the way everybody else did about you

[08:07] know different things and uh and it just

[08:09] I think started opening up a lot of

[08:11] people's minds about how much the

[08:12] government lies to us and to me it was

[08:14] like there's a group of people who will

[08:15] lie forever who will lock down our

[08:17] children to make sure that their mental

[08:19] health deteriorates to holy hell they do

[08:21] not care about moms they do not care

[08:23] about kids they do not care about their

[08:25] health I mean why do we have so many

[08:27] foods in this country that are legal

[08:29] Skittles are banned in Europe why why am

[08:32] I allowed to have Skittles here and not

[08:33] in Europe there's a coffee creamer that

[08:35] I use that's banned everywhere else but

[08:37] here I found that out why isn't that

[08:38] here why do I have to be doing this much

[08:40] homework and I think he's just showing a

[08:42] sign of New Hope for those of us like

[08:43] I'm genuinely worried about my children

[08:45] being poisoned by the food we're eating

[08:46] and I am far from the minority and again

[08:49] I one thing that I really took away

[08:50] because I sat with tulsy at her hearing

[08:52] last week or this week excuse me was

[08:54] that the Senators really don't

[08:56] understand this movement that was my big

[08:57] takeaway particularly from Senator young

[08:59] and senator lford and then obviously the

[09:00] Democrats it's like they obviously don't

[09:02] know any Maha moms they don't know this

[09:05] Coalition of people which is really

[09:06] quite frankly pathetic because it's such

[09:08] a huge you know swath of the American

[09:10] public but they need to understand if

[09:14] they blow this somehow there will be

[09:17] consequences to high hell I think moms

[09:19] of America never underestimate what they

[09:21] can do when they are angry and pissed

[09:22] off I mean my Governor here in Virginia

[09:25] got elected because moms were told that

[09:27] they didn't have a right to send their

[09:28] kids to whatever school that they wanted

[09:30] I I just they need to understand I don't

[09:32] know how to get people like Senator

[09:34] Langford and senat young Senator young

[09:35] to understand but this isn't just about

[09:37] them it's about a mandate from the

[09:38] American people that President Trump is

[09:40] helping

[09:41] execute well said Megan thank you for

[09:43] your time I want everyone to check out

[09:45] the citizen McCain podcast I believe

[09:47] that is the name and uh I I I could not

[09:50] be in more agreement that we need tulsy

[09:52] and Bobby Kennedy for this big party

[09:54] governing Coalition Megan thank you so

[09:56] much thank you for your time
