SPEAKER_07

02:59 - 03:18

A good man is running for Senate leader, hopefully Senate majority leader, and I support him on a percent, and I am endorsing him for Senate majority leader. It is Senator Rick Scott from Florida. He is terrific Senator. Welcome to program. Tell us about your announcement running for Senate leader.

SPEAKER_05

03:18 - 04:16

But Charlie, first of all, thank you for your support. Thank you for endorsement. I hope you're getting some sleep, but with your second child. That's a lot. It's not easier being grandparent. So look, we gotta have big change. Let's just look, we've got a fixed wrapper for our country right now. We've got almost 35 trade dollars a debt. We've got an open border. We've got a horrible form policy. We've got a federal government that's completely out of control. We need to have a sea change. I'm a turnaround guy. That's what I did in business, I bought failing businesses. I fixed them up. I became governor back in January 2011 and Florida. Florida was in financial distress at the time. I turned the state around with a lot of other help. Not just me, but we did it together. We need to do the same thing at the federal level. President Trump's going to win. He needs to partner in the Senate that says we need a sea change. We need to have conservative policies. They're actually going to get implemented rather than blocked by people that don't want to do it.

SPEAKER_07

04:16 - 04:38

Yeah, and this is the sort of business as usual is destroying the country. And so what in particular will you do as Senate leader not necessarily from a policy perspective because your ideas are terrific, but from a business standpoint, will you do these omnibus things if you are Senate majority leader? How will you change the actual business of the Senate?

SPEAKER_05

04:40 - 06:10

What Charlie, I was very specific in the letter I sent to all my colleagues and you can get it online. So here's one first up, I think we've got to have term limits for the leader. So nobody should have power that long. That's number one. Number two is we've got to make sure that we don't have that we don't have a continuum resolutions or omnibuses. Now the only way that's going to happen is that we actually have an appropriations process and we are we force, you know, are to go through that. We've got to do that because what happens right now is is the McConnell Schumer, you know, guys, they just what they do is they say, oh, we work really hard. We couldn't get it done. So let's do a continuous solution. Then we'll do this on any bus right before Christmas. When you don't want to shut down government right before Christmas, right? So that's going to stop. We're going to have a real appropriations process go through the budget. We can balance this budget. And we're going to give people back to work to do it, but we can't do it. Number three is I want bills, not to be decided by Schumer McConnell, but be decided by committees and with a robust amendment. Because what Schumer McConnell been doing up here is they will, they will, they'll decide the bill, and then they'll put it on the center floor, and we don't get them in my vote. So all you get to do is a yes or no. Well, I, then why am I here? I get no vote and as you know, take 60 votes up here, what's been happening is all the Democrats vote together and then nine to the 15 Republicans vote with them to all of mine's bad policies are getting implemented. That's got to stop.

SPEAKER_07

06:10 - 06:31

Yes, it has to stop. Absolutely. Can you talk about how you would run the Senate from a committee chair process, not one that is rooted in revenge, but one that is anchored in expertise. You have an amazing story about this, how you lost some committee positions because you dared to challenge McConnell.

SPEAKER_05

06:31 - 08:11

Now, Joe, put this perspective. I probably, anybody has ever been in the U.S. under their random biggest companies I ran. I ran a company with 285,000 employees. I think it was a seventh year of support at the time. And so I ran against McConnell at the end of the 22 cycle. Unfortunately, we didn't win. So Mike Lee, who is the one that sponsored me and nominated me, he and I got kicked off commerce even though We, even though we had done probably 80% of the amendment votes on the Republican side for the power of four years. So what we ought to be doing on committees is saying, okay, so if you're going to be, whatever the committee, do what you're expertise and what you're interest. Now, even though, that's what we are doing on the committee, but even though even after that, you need to have a robust amendment process, so every U.S. Center has the opportunity to say, you know what, I disagree with that for my state. Now, I've got a bit, I'm going to have to talk to the majority of you into my way of thinking, but give me a shot. at that. So now I think what we got to do is we we got a lot of talented people in up here. Let's use their talent to get the best policy. But let's let's let's let's remember we have a fixture up. We've got to start paying down our debt. We've got to balance our budget. Our military is not hidden recruited numbers and it's not hidden readiness numbers. That is scary for all of us. We've got to so we got the DOJ, we got FBI, we got to Iris that have been weaponized. That has got to change. We're supposed to be the oversight of the executive branch. We need to be the oversight of the executive branch.

SPEAKER_07

08:11 - 08:43

That's exactly right. And under the current regime, A center of McConnell seems to allocate money more towards races where he thinks he can get votes rather than majorities. If you were to become Senate majority leader with that comes the control or the passive control of a super PAC and the ability to raise a ton of money what you're doing, how would you engage in these sort of races? Because it seems that McConnell is more interested in protecting his allies and friends than actually building a sustainable Senate majority.

SPEAKER_05

08:44 - 09:41

Well, you know, if you the Republican leader or Democrat leader, you're able to raise more money. So that gives the opportunity because of those titles that you can raise money to help and make sure Republicans win. What I personally believe is we all let Republican primaries happen. So Washington DC is not picking our candidates because historically what they've wanted, they've wanted the candidates that will just go along with leadership. I don't think that's the right thing to do. And then what we, as the money were raised, we should be helping our Republican whip. So we shouldn't say, well, this one is going to vote for me. This was going to be easier to work with. We should say, we want to win the maximum number of Republican votes. So we can control the destiny of this country. In the case of what's going to happen over the next few years, Donald Trump is going to leave the prison. He's going to need a partner as leader in the Senate to say his policies are going to get implemented.

SPEAKER_07

09:42 - 10:18

That's, that's right. Let's talk about that in closing your Senator. What policies in particular would you lead? And I know you have a platform and a plan that you put together, which is really great. What policies should the Senate now start to own? and brings the American people, because we have races we can win in Arizona, carry Lake and win in Arizona, we can win in Nevada, hopefully we flip Montana, hopefully we flip Ohio with Bernie Moreno, and we're gonna flip West Virginia, we might even be able to flip Maryland, what agenda items do you think Canada's need to bring to the American people to show the argument to make the Senate go red?

SPEAKER_05

10:18 - 11:08

So number one, we've got to start fighting for something, right? So what do people want right now? They want to secure border. All right, because they don't want another 76,000 people dying to fit in on next year. They don't want more criminals and only more terrorists. So number one is secure the board. Number two is they know we have to balance a budget so we can get inflation under control because it's devastating families. With the grocery prices up in car prices and home prices, everything is growing. Number three, we've got to work, we've got to do everything we can to make sure the world is safe, and our freedoms are protected. That means we have to have a military. There is a scared to death, though. That does mean you have to spend a fortune with that means you have to have the strongest military, you can, and most lethal, and no one, and put yourself in position one, no one wants to question our authority.

SPEAKER_07

11:09 - 11:19

Senator, we are behind you 100% also check out Rick Scott.com. You're currently in cycle and Florida. I think you're going to be all right, but help out Senator Scott that's Rick Scott.com. Thank you so much, Senator.

SPEAKER_00

12:41 - 13:02

Now, it's the moment for Britain to choose its future. To decide whether we want to build on the progress we have made, we'll risk going back to square one with no plan and no certainty. Earlier today, I spoke with his Majesty the King to request the decision of Holland. The King has granted this request and we will have a general election on the 4th of July.

SPEAKER_07

13:04 - 14:00

Now, the Fourth of July, that's quite an interesting date. They don't honor the Fourth of July in, you know, it kingdom, obviously. So he's allegedly the conservative leader. Now, the conservatives in the UK are not actually conservatives. They're more like Hillary Clinton Democrats. Labor, which are actually more like Bernie Sanders, socialist, Jeremy Corbyn types, they are poised to have a major victim And this is basically, basically, Rishi saying, I'm done. Crying Uncle, what is the lesson here? The lesson is that if you do not stand and fight for conservative values that your vote when your voters give you political power, you're going to be displaced from power. There are huge parts of London that resemble a foreign country. The city council member from Leeds, chanting Al-Doo Akbar, play cut 68.

SPEAKER_02

14:03 - 14:21

When I think of someone from Britain, I think of a guy screaming in the sky saying, I'll do Akbar.

SPEAKER_07

14:21 - 19:01

Boris Johnson was one of the worst COVID leaders, huge lockdowns, but even he himself did not obey them. The worst combination of tyranny and hypocrisy. Let this be a warning to the American Republican Party. If we do not stand and fight, if we do not fulfill the mandate of our voters, we can be displaced from power. If we don't fight on the issues that might be somewhat controversial, if we govern as Democrat lights, then voters will have no reason to vote for us and will instead give political power back to Democrats or in this case in labor. What have conservatives actually conserved in the United Kingdom? British conservatives didn't defend free speech. They didn't defend English identity and English liberties. They didn't slow down immigration and didn't even bring prosperity. And sadly, they did not even fulfill the gift given to them by Nigel Farage, which was Brexit in 2019. They turned their back on Brexit. They slowed it down. They did everything they could to eliminate it. And now, UK conservatives, are going to pay a very heavy price. What does that mean for our conservative movement and our Republican Party? It's a warning sign. Our Republican Party is growing. Winning elections is not the hardest part. governing can be even harder than winning elections. We control a lot in this country. We control a lot of governor's mansions, a lot of AG's offices. We control a lot of state legislature. But if you do not use the political power that your voters give you, then you will be displaced and you'll get something hyper radical in its place. This is why Rick Scott running for Senate Majority Leader is so critical and so important, not just governing as Democrat lights. but putting forward a different agenda saying that we want people to own homes have children get married. In the United Kingdom, they've had mass migration. They don't even try to count them and they certainly do not try to deport them. A new economic study in the United Kingdom found that migrants aren't growing the British economy. They're just driving up housing prices. This is one of the reasons why Mike Johnson has been such a disappointment. Mike Johnson, as Speaker of the House, As a much closer to a UK conservative like Rishi Sunak, then an actual conservative for our country. It is hard to be a conservative because you are up against relentless parasites that want to take over the body politic and consume the government. It is difficult to be the guy that says, no, no, we are going to cut spending. It's easy to be a progressive. You come up with a wacky idea that you can't pay for steal from your children, finance it, and call that progress. That's easy. It takes courage, a backbone, a spine, fortitude. It takes a resolute spirit to be a conservative. And the UK Conservatives have governed for 14 years and now they're going to get the power back to labor. And if you think that Britain is a household now and is descending, wait till labor takes over. But honestly, the conservatives did it to themselves because they were not conservative at all. They were just labor light. debt, it keeps you tossing and turning at night. You can't get away from it. But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.

Tell us about your book that is coming out. I also want to talk about the movie as well. So tell us all about it.

SPEAKER_01

19:02 - 19:36

Thanks, Charlie, it's nice to see you again. Yeah, the book is called Justify This. It's not as political as some of my movies have some of my documentaries, but it's more or less a movie about my career and how I got started, how I became an actor, a little boy in North Carolina didn't know anybody who had ever been an actor. And it's sort of about that. And there's a lot of things along the way. And there's a story of our adopting our son out of foster care, which is a very interesting part of the book and it's more or less a book about my life.

SPEAKER_07

19:36 - 19:46

Well that's terrific and so tell us about your life. I mean you've lived a full life and you've played some amazing characters throughout the years and you're very much in Hollywood. Tell us all about it.

SPEAKER_01

19:46 - 20:47

Well, the joke always still is that, you know, I started out. My big break was Fried Green Tomatoes where I played like the wife beating husband and Clansman. I was the terrible. I was the guy that got hooked and eaten. So that's kind of got my career started, but you know, after that there was an awful lot of wife beaters and clansmen and so I've played a lot of serial pillars and clansmen and wife beaters and sexual harassers and rapists. I mean, let's face it. I've played a lot of Democrats. So that's that's how I've made my living, but I've also been able to, you know, have some fun along the way, play some good guys here and there. And I've just been very fortunate, Charlie. That's really what I hope I can bay that in the book. I have really lived a very blessed life. And God has led me to do some things that I didn't know I was going to do. And it's I feel must feel very fortunate.

SPEAKER_07

20:47 - 20:57

The book is justified this, a career without compromise. I also want to talk about the movie that is coming out here. The war on truth, let's play count 126.

SPEAKER_04

20:57 - 21:04

Let me do I got a night.

SPEAKER_09

21:04 - 21:11

We have not to date seeing any evidence of anarchist filing extremists or people subscribing through antifa.

SPEAKER_03

21:12 - 21:15

This guy is not just an undercover, okay?

SPEAKER_02

21:15 - 21:23

He is committing violence. Everybody that was born the ground on Jesus. Police officers and demonstrators alike were all set up.

SPEAKER_07

21:23 - 21:28

They have this mystery and story that was some kind of domestic terrorist group.

SPEAKER_01

21:28 - 21:29

Why are you going to prison for his mom?

SPEAKER_03

21:29 - 21:34

For my documentation of Jesus. They're being punished. It's criminals.

SPEAKER_02

21:34 - 21:39

When the United States government comes out, you would everything they have. It can be very intimidating.

SPEAKER_04

21:39 - 21:46

The trainer is still fear. This is intimidation. It's like the Gestapo.

SPEAKER_00

21:46 - 21:52

This was not a no-knock warrant. I could kill somebody because they did not identify himself.

SPEAKER_04

21:52 - 21:59

On May 17th, the truth fights back.

SPEAKER_07

21:59 - 22:01

So Nick, tell us all about this film.

SPEAKER_01

22:01 - 23:18

Well, this film is continues to story of the lies about January 6th. I made a film in 2021 called Capital Punishment. And this film continues that story. And the most striking thing about this film and the thing that I'm proud of is that we show you who these people are, who these people actually are, that Joe Biden and the media and the Democrat complex has been vilifying and demonizing for the past three years, calling them white supremacists and domestic terrorists. These are the most decent people you can find in your neighborhood. The people they are going after are people who believe in the Constitution, people who believe in God, people with whom you would trust your pets or your children if you were out of town. And they are trying to destroy these people simply because they protest at the election. And they don't believe that Joe Biden is a legitimate president. So I think it's a movie that everyone, everyone should see, no matter what side of the issue you're on, no matter how you feel about Donald Trump. I don't think anybody can look at this movie fairly and think that these people, what's happening to these people, is justice. It's a political persecution.

SPEAKER_07

23:18 - 23:43

So let me ask you, there's been some debate and we had an FBI, a former FBI agent on our program yesterday and he says that the FBI is full of mostly good people. In that trailer, he says they're comparing them to the Gestapo. Can you help make that argument in that case? I agree with that. What evidence can you support through this film that shows that the FBI is operating close to Stalin's private garden?

SPEAKER_01

23:43 - 24:55

Well, we have interviews in the film with Steve Friend and Carl Seraphin, both in film former FBI agents. Steve, Steve Friend, was taken off his job on a task force investigating child trafficking and moved to investigating Grandmother's who stuck their heads in the capital building on January 6th. And what's happening to the FBI is that they are being incentivized to go after these people in January 6. The funding is increased. They have like a, it's almost like a domestic terrorism quota. And if they fill that quota, then you're going to get more funding for your office. So they are actually going out and trying to find these people just like Stalin's KGB was like given a, you know, go out and find a certain number. of dissidents and punished them. And that's what's going on in this country too. The FBI may be filled with some good people, but a lot of them are just obeying orders because they're being told what to do. They're being told, there's the enemy. That grandmother there who walked into the Capitol in January six, you need to treat her like a terrorist, and that's what they're doing.

SPEAKER_07

24:55 - 25:15

So yeah, I want to dive into that. I'd so glad you said that just obeying orders from doing this film in your research. Do you think that's an okay excuse? Is that an acceptable excuse from someone who's sworn oath to the US Constitution? Where they say, I'm just obeying orders, I want to make sure I keep my pension in my salary. Do you believe that we should accept that as an excuse?

SPEAKER_01

25:16 - 25:58

Absolutely not. And Garrett O'Neill, another FBI agent in our film, he's paid a price for standing up for what he believes. Steve Friend has paid a price, CalSurf and his paid a price. That's not an excuse. That's the same thing that I encounter in Hollywood when I, you know, a lot of actor friends in mind, people that you would know by face, not by name. They come up to me and say, I agree with a lot of what you're doing, but I would never say that out loud because I know it would hurt my career. Well, good is it to save your career if you lose your country? You've got to stand up at some point. You're going to have to stand up sooner or later. You might as well do it now.

SPEAKER_07

25:58 - 26:18

No, I completely agree with that. And I guess pensions matter more than your country, I suppose. Because when you are told, can you just kind of go through some of the more egregious examples? I mean, the FBI comes in full force with 20 teams for nonviolent offenders that set up prayer in the capital, is that right?

SPEAKER_01

26:19 - 27:43

Right, one of the most egregious examples in our movie is a net Chris and a net keen Chris keen was was the the guy who gave the orders at at Reagan's funeral at Ronald Reagan's funeral the 21 gun salute. He was the one that gave the fire order. He's an American hero. He was there on January 6th They break down his door, six a freezing cold Kansas City, and the terror of that day causes wife to have a miscarriage. They had the red dots of the rifles that they were on their little boy. I mean, this is terrorization. This is not necessary. Chris is the kind of person that if you really had some problem with him or something that he had done wrong on that day. Some trespassing charges, what he was charged with, you would call him on the phone and say we'd like to talk to you. But instead, they send these terrorizing raids into their neighborhood, make them a pariah in the neighborhood. Everybody their whole, all their neighbors think those must be horrible people. Look at how the police are treating them. This is all done deliberately. It's all done to scare and intimidate and to send a message to everyone else, not just the people that they're persecuting, but send a message to everyone else. This is what will happen to you if you resist us.

SPEAKER_07

27:43 - 27:46

So what are you hearing is coming next? Are they still coming after more January 6th?

SPEAKER_01

27:47 - 28:34

Absolutely, Matthew Graves the DOA, the district attorney in the district of Columbia. He says we're going to arrest a thousand more people this year. He says in our movie, we have footage of it. We're going to start going after people who never win in the building. because even just standing around the Capitol building, they were in a restricted area. As you'll see in our movie, all the signs that said it was a restricted area were taken down by operatives before the crowd moved from Trump's speech to the Capitol building. So no one knew they were in a restricted area. This is all entrapment. It's all a setup and they are not stopping. They are doubling down on the lives and they are going to arrest more people. They've arrested more people already this year for January 6th. than they arrested last year.

SPEAKER_07

28:34 - 29:57

And meanwhile our borders completely wide open and our law enforcement is being inverted against the citizenry. But I'm told they're all they're all great people. You might have heard Mike Lindell and my pillow no longer have the support of their box stores or shopping channels the way they used to.

SPEAKER_01

The thing that I took away from this was that meeting these people where some of the strongest people I've ever met, some of the most faithful people, who live their faith. And in many cases, I mean, JD Rivera as a man who's propiled in this movie. He was sent to prison for eight months for trespassing. He filmed every move that he made inside the Capitol, never touched anything. All he did was film. He was acting as a journalist that day. went to prison for eight months, had to say goodbye to his family. And when I talked to him about it, when your prison, he said, I'm not looking at this as punishment. I'm looking at this as a mission trip. I'm going there because God wants me to be there to spread the message to whoever needs to hear it. And when he says goodbye to his little girl and ask her, why am I going to prison? She looks at him and says, you're going to prison to tell people about God. and that broke my heart and I think it'll break the hearts of everybody who sees this movie.

You were at January 6. Did you see violence? What did you see when you were there?

SPEAKER_01

31:02 - 32:01

I saw people praying. I saw people singing hymns. I saw people saying the pledge of allegiance. And mostly what I saw was happy people. I was on the side of the Capitol building between the Capitol and the Supreme Court. I wasn't on the side where the Capitol police were firing musician. music, munitions into the middle of the crowd. So I didn't see any of the violence and that's pretty much why I made these movies. I got home that night from January 6 and what I saw on television matched nothing of what I saw with my own eyes. And so that's when I began to get curious, especially when I saw how the people were being treated and the lives that were being told about these people, FBI breaking these people's doors down, That's when I just said, okay, they are lying about January 6. Let's find out what the truth is, number one, and number two, why they are lying? And that's how these movies came about.

Your book is just to find this a career without compromise. What is your advice for not compromising your career for our audience that at times they feel they have to compromise to pay bills, to pay the mortgage? Our audience is filled up silent patriots that I wish were silent no longer because they're afraid of the backlash or the condemnation. What advice can you share with Tony?

SPEAKER_01

32:25 - 33:52

Well, I certainly sympathize with people who don't want to reveal their political leanings because of the price they might pay. I think in my case, by the time I figured out that I needed to hide my political beliefs, it was too late and everybody already knew. So I just kept going. But I hope that as an example, I have been able to continue to work. I have a Netflix series coming out this year that did with Nicole Kidman shot it all last year. I have continued to be employed in Hollywood and I I think that the fear of backlash is something that we have to stand up for. We have to stand up to that because if you let the bully's silence you, they win. I mean, they accomplish their goal one of two ways. Either they run you out of the business so you can't say anything or they just make you afraid to say anything. So I say to people, you know, I have a lot of friends who are actors say to me all the time, I agree with you, but I'm not sure I can take the stands you take because I would pay a price for it. And I go, yeah, you might pay a price in the short term, but in the end, if you lose your country and save your career, what have you saved? You're not going to have a career anyway because you're not going to have a country to practice it in. So I encourage everybody, don't let the bully silence you, stop being afraid of them, make them deal with you on your terms.
