CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): Why is it that Republican senators are so excited and move fast to give Joe Biden his nominees, but Republican senators don't wanna give Donald Trump his nominees? What is going on here? Well, we're gonna keep on naming the names and tell you more about the folklore of Joni Ernst and Roger Wicker and Deb Fischer. And I have — this is the red line. This is not this is not a joke, everybody. The funding is already being put together. Donors are calling like crazy. Primaries are going to be launched. Th old RNC, the old way of doing things is dead. OK? You think that we at Turning Point Action, Turning Point PAC are just gonna kinda rest on our laurels? No. No. No. No.
Again, if you support the president's agenda, you're good. You're marked safe from a primary. You go up against Pete Hegseth, the president repeatedly, then don't be surprised Joni Ernst if all of a sudden you get a primary challenge in Iowa. Don't be surprised, Mike Rounds, when you get a primary challenge. And guess what? We might be successful in doing so. We don't get a mandate like this from the American people just to have it forwarded by a bunch of dorks that we've never heard of from the US Senate twiddling their thumbs and protecting the war machine. Done. And if we have to fire you through a primary, that is what we will have to do.
