Charlie Kirk Defends Matt Gaetz as Attorney General Pick Against Washington Establishment Opposition

[00:00] there was news heard around the world

[00:01] yesterday if you thought P heg was

[00:03] controversial if you thought Tulsi

[00:04] gabard at dni was controversial oh no

[00:07] you've seen nothing yet the Attorney

[00:09] General pick before I go any further

[00:12] president Trump has earned the right to

[00:14] do whatever he wants with the Department

[00:16] of Justice whatever he

[00:18] was they tried to lock him in prison for

[00:22] 700 years on fake andonian political

[00:26] charges they tormented him and tried to

[00:28] stop a political movement of the people

[00:31] on unelected bureaucrats of Jack Smith

[00:33] and Merck Garland remember the same

[00:35] Department of Justice that gave him Bob

[00:36] Muller the Department of Justice has

[00:38] been used as a Soviet style attack

[00:41] Vector against the citizen-led populist

[00:44] movement there was a referendum on this

[00:46] topic do you want major governmental

[00:49] reform do you want massive changes to

[00:51] the federal bureaucracy or do you want

[00:54] business as usual there was a referendum

[00:56] an up or down vote and the people

[00:58] overwhelmingly voted yes and not just

[01:00] people the Battleground States but in

[01:01] the popular vote as well that is how

[01:03] elections work and Donald Trump has

[01:06] earned the right to do whatever he wants

[01:08] with the Department of Justice whatever

[01:10] he wants if he wants to troll him he can

[01:13] troll him but this is not a troll this

[01:15] is very very

[01:17] serious Donald Trump did not want to

[01:19] just have the same type of person like

[01:21] Bill

[01:23] bar like other Attorneys General before

[01:27] no no he wanted something different he

[01:29] wanted a Game Changer and he rolled a

[01:32] metaphorical Congressional

[01:35] grenade into the Department of Justice

[01:38] yesterday a man who himself was

[01:41] thoroughly investigated and try to have

[01:43] his life ruined by the Department of

[01:45] Justice Matt Gates Matt Gates was guilty

[01:49] until proven innocent here's how it

[01:51] worked Matt Gates a story came out in

[01:54] the New York Times back in the spring of

[01:55] 2021 saying that Matt Gates was involved

[01:57] in underage sex trafficking like the

[02:01] worst thing you could accuse somebody of

[02:04] and then his father was blackmailed

[02:06] illegally and the people that were doing

[02:08] that ended up going to prison and Matt

[02:10] Gates was guilty until proven innocent

[02:12] and he fought and he fought these were

[02:14] Anonymous sources and there were no

[02:15] charges and this is what the Department

[02:17] of Justice made Matt Gates and his

[02:19] family go through look Matt Gates would

[02:21] be the first one to tell you he's lived

[02:22] a full life found the love of his life

[02:25] and married Ginger Gates Matt Gates is a

[02:27] great friend of mine a friend of the

[02:28] program but he has a victim of lawfare

[02:31] and he knows personally and intimately

[02:35] how vicious and

[02:37] unfounded these accusations can be they

[02:39] can ruin your life just with a subpoena

[02:42] and a leak to the New York Times They

[02:44] can ruin your

[02:46] reputation and by the time you finally

[02:49] realize

[02:51] that that the public realizes that it's

[02:53] fake you are still damaged goods and

[02:55] let's not forget the atrocity of the

[02:56] Russian collusion scam and so Donald

[02:59] Trump

[03:00] has earned a right and he deserves he

[03:03] deserves an attorney general that will

[03:06] fulfill that

[03:08] mandate he deserves a attorney general

[03:12] that will let him fulfill the Mandate of

[03:15] the American people he does not deserve

[03:17] some sort of paper sh paper shuffling

[03:19] attorney general he doesn't deserve some

[03:21] sort of business as usual a change agent

[03:26] but my oh my all the right people are

[03:28] upset and you know what you could not

[03:30] think of a more metaphorical middle

[03:33] finger to this law fair system than Matt

[03:35] Gates I get it cry

[03:37] more but Matt Gates should never have

[03:41] gone through what he went through with

[03:42] the Department of Justice ever and

[03:44] Donald Trump is doing what he said he

[03:46] was going to do if you wanted milk toast

[03:48] that's not what you voted for you wanted

[03:49] massive government

[03:52] reform they spied on Trump so now they

[03:55] get Tulsi gabard they triy to lock up

[03:57] Trump so now they get Matt Gates they

[03:59] kept the Border open so now they get Tom

[04:00] Homan they tried to ruin the country and

[04:02] they are getting what they

[04:06] deserve Matt Gates is a change agent

[04:10] he's not going to keep the 70,000 people

[04:12] with guns and badges at the Department

[04:13] of Justice going after moms and dads at

[04:16] school boards going after

[04:20] Catholic

[04:22] Layman at Latin Mass he's not going to

[04:25] have the Department of Justice raid

[04:27] political opponents like banon and Peter

[04:30] Navaro he is going to fix the Department

[04:32] of Justice and this is going to be a big

[04:35] confirmation fight this is going to be

[04:37] one of the biggest ever it is not going

[04:39] to be easy Matt Gates does not have a

[04:41] lot of congressional allies it's kind of

[04:43] why we love

[04:44] them however some people say oh there's

[04:47] no way he can get confirmed don't don't

[04:49] don't dismiss the power that an incoming

[04:51] president has with a mandate especially

[04:55] Donald trumpin the Republican Party do

[04:57] not discount that and you know it's

[04:59] really funny axio says oh 10 senators

[05:01] are already against Matt Gates oh really

[05:03] what are their names oh Anonymous that's

[05:04] why everyone's a tough guy until it

[05:06] becomes a floor vote and you have to

[05:08] face the music and I asked this out of a

[05:11] senator this morning who shall remain

[05:12] nameless he said oh uh Gates can't get

[05:16] confirmed I said oh

[05:18] really how is it that merri Garland got

[05:21] out of committee let me read what he

[05:22] wrote and he says no clue I'm not in

[05:25] judiciary but as you know there are a

[05:27] couple me Members challenge uh

[05:28] challenging members on it whoa whoa whoa

[05:30] hold on so Merrick Garland can you guys

[05:32] get me the the whip sheet of all the

[05:33] people that voted for Merrick Garland

[05:35] Merrick Garland received votes from lots

[05:36] of Republicans Ron Johnson voted for

[05:39] Merrick Garland and we love Ron

[05:41] Johnson John Corin voted for Merrick

[05:43] Garland Merrick Garland the craving

[05:46] lunatic that went after Donald Trump

[05:47] that we see that bitter angry small man

[05:50] running doj so if Republicans are

[05:52] willing to vote for Mara Garland why

[05:55] would you not vote for Matt

[05:58] Gates so let let's just go through the

[06:03] list former Republican senator blunt

[06:06] from Missouri voted for Merrick Garland

[06:10] Burr former uh senator from North

[06:12] Carolina voted for Merrick Garland

[06:15] Shelly Mor Capo who is in leadership

[06:18] from West Virginia voted for merik

[06:20] Garland Cassidy from Louisiana voted for

[06:23] Merrick Garland Susan Collins from Maine

[06:26] voted for Merrick Garland John Corin

[06:28] from Texas voted for

[06:30] Garland Mitt Romney obviously voted for

[06:33] M Merck Garland rounds from South Dakota

[06:35] Blake's Hometown voted for mer

[06:38] Garland we're almost to the list

[06:43] here John th your new Senate Majority

[06:46] Leader voted for meric Garland Tom

[06:48] Tillis from North Carolina voted for

[06:50] meric

[06:51] Garland and to close it all

[06:54] off that's it so all of those

[06:57] Republicans voted for mer garland that

[06:59] just

[07:00] mentioned if you're going to vote

[07:02] against Gates and you also voted against

[07:04] merri Garland then maybe you're

[07:05] consistent there is not a universe where

[07:07] we will accept on this program or at

[07:09] Turning Point action where you will vote

[07:11] for Merrick Garland and you will vote no

[07:13] for Matt Gates that will trigger an

[07:15] immediate primary challenge immediate

[07:19] that will not be tolerated that if you

[07:21] will vote for Merrick Garland but not

[07:23] for president Trump's pick for attorney

[07:28] general so so I I I hope uh I hope the

[07:31] Senators go through advise and consent

[07:33] ask Matt the tough questions and we can

[07:36] proceed from there because Mar Garland

[07:38] was the most destructive disastrous

[07:40] attorney general in American history

[07:41] that had a lot of Republican support and

[07:43] they didn't vote for Merrick Garland in

[07:44] this Essence that you might think

[07:45] they'll say oh a president deserves to

[07:47] have his cabinet fine then why should

[07:49] Trump not get his

[07:50] cabinet if the rules that you allow Joe

[07:53] Biden to get his attorney general why is

[07:56] it that you will not allow Donald Trump

[07:57] to get his attorney general that will

[08:00] not go over with voters that will be met

[08:02] with ferocity and opposition I I want to

[08:06] I want to go deeper in this if you if

[08:09] you give Joe Biden his people why would

[08:11] you not give Donald Trump his people and

[08:15] look there's a psychological operation

[08:17] that is being run in the media right now

[08:18] trying to make it seem as if Matt Gates

[08:19] is not qualified okay he is a lawyer

[08:22] that's important to note he was targeted

[08:24] by doj he was also one of the most

[08:26] outspoken oversight individuals in

[08:32] Congress and he deserves advise and

[08:36] consent he deserves the opportunity to

[08:39] be able to go through this process

[08:41] president Trump earned

[08:44] this Gates also worked as a lawyer for

[08:46] many

[08:51] years look here's here's the here's the

[08:53] the fundamental issue in front of

[08:56] us did the American people vote for more

[08:59] of the same or did they vote for

[09:02] fundamental

[09:04] change given that our past qualified

[09:07] nominees did things like unleash

[09:09] unprecedented political Warfare maybe

[09:11] our qualifications aren't a good measure

[09:15] maybe all the people we told are

[09:17] qualified end up being incredibly

[09:20] dangerous and treacherous against the

[09:22] American people maybe we need a big

[09:25] shakeup and by the way Donald Trump was

[09:27] elected as a change agent and he is

[09:29] fulfilling that he has a mandate to

[09:32] Shake The Matrix to its

[09:34] core this is Democrat Congressman Jared

[09:38] moscovitz telling CNN he'll be fiercely

[09:41] competent do not underestimate Matt

[09:43] Gates if we can get him through

[09:45] committee if we can get him through the

[09:48] proper channels he will be a phenomenal

[09:51] attorney general he is wicked smart he

[09:54] has a Skyhigh IQ he has energy capacity

[09:57] love of country knows the problem and

[09:59] I'll say this right now he's smarter

[10:01] than Merck

[10:04] Garland let's play Cut

[10:08] 405 I mean look this is what the

[10:10] American people voted for right I mean

[10:12] you know Trump was not he was not shy

[10:14] about what he wanted to do in this

[10:16] country and you know in Matt Gates he's

[10:19] not only going to get someone who's

[10:20] fiercely loyal but fiercely competent

[10:22] Matt Gates knows exactly what to do with

[10:24] the Attorney General's office he will he

[10:26] will turn that into be most powerful

[10:28] Attorney General in American history

[10:31] I this is correct JFK made his

[10:36] 35-year-old brother Bobby Kennedy

[10:38] attorney general Matt Gates is far more

[10:41] qualified than he was and the Democrats

[10:43] keep Kennedy in folklore they love Bobby

[10:46] Kennedy they love JFK they don't love

[10:48] this new Bobby Kennedy we love him so

[10:50] why was it okay to do that which was

[10:54] definitely a stretch for JFK and Donald

[10:56] Trump doesn't get his cabinet of his

[10:57] choosing

[11:00] and

[11:00] before before anybody gets too ahead of

[11:04] themselves oh he can't get confirmed he

[11:05] can't can confirmed back up back up back

[11:07] up what are the names show me the names

[11:09] of the people I don't want some

[11:10] Anonymous leak and axios I don't want

[11:12] the New York Times no no no I want names

[11:14] and if they're not names they're

[11:15] terrified of President Trump and they

[11:17] should be he is the most popular

[11:21] Republican politician leader

[11:24] ever and John Corin is in cycle Tom

[11:27] Tillis is in cycle

[11:30] and president Trump this is one he

[11:31] deeply and personally cares about I bet

[11:35] president Trump is going to work the

[11:36] phones on this one I bet president Trump

[11:38] is going to call up some of these guys

[11:39] no no no no why are you against my guy

[11:42] why are you against my Matt as he calls

[11:45] him president Trump has earned the right

[11:47] to be able to not be worried that the

[11:49] Department of Justice is bugging the

[11:51] White

[11:52] House Donald Trump has earned the right

[11:54] that Air Force One is not going to be

[11:56] filled with double agents Donald Trump

[11:59] has earned the right to know that he's

[12:01] safe and protected and there will not be

[12:03] another operation Crossfire hurricane

[12:05] Donald Trump has earned the right to be

[12:07] able to know that his people are not

[12:10] going to be

[12:15] indicted Mark Halprin is very smart this

[12:18] is this is so beautifully put and I I

[12:21] had this thought earlier and he

[12:22] distilled it better than I could have

[12:23] put into words here is one factor that

[12:26] those who say Matt Gates is dead and not

[12:28] considering every Republican senator has

[12:30] donors friends staffers constituents and

[12:34] in some cases Ken who want something

[12:36] from the incoming Trump Administration

[12:38] especially jobs you think that the Trump

[12:40] White House is going to help out any

[12:41] senator who comes out against Gates this

[12:43] is not even politics 101 it's politics

[12:45] one you better believe it good luck

[12:47] getting on the committee of religious

[12:48] freedom you want to be ambassador to

[12:50] Sweden how about

[12:57] France how about the Central African

[13:00] Republic or how about La we're not we're

[13:03] not we're not going to play that

[13:05] game it's time for Hardball
