CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): I don't like this ad, apparently it's effective. It's Donald Trump attacking Ron DeSantis, I don't like it. It's kind of a disgusting ad, almost makes me want to hurl. This is where we're headed.

...

KIRK: I mean, I'm going to be very honest. I don't love the fearmongering in Republican primaries around Social Security or Medicare. Current beneficiaries, I don't think anything should be touched, but yes, there need to be some adjustments for future retirees. And if you even say that, it's like the third rail. Especially amongst Republican voters.
