Mark, great to see you. Thank you for taking the time. Mark, I want to begin by asking you about this Texas redistricting fight. Do you think this will trigger more gerrymandering fights from Democrat states and further disfiguring our already unrecognizable congressional districts in many states across the country? I mean they'll talk about it in about five or six states but the laws are all different, right? And I'm not sure they'll be able to both get it executed and actually take advantage of it because as is true in Texas when you start playing the maps, you risk endangering seats you hold currently

by trying to move around Republican support. So I'd be surprised if more than one or two Democratic states actually tried this for real, and I'm not sure they'd execute it. So there's a lot of talk about it, and it's an interesting tit for tat story, but if you go state by state and look at the laws, it's not clear to me where

Democrats would pick up the seats offset with Texas is almost certainly going to do. But a lot of this hinges on the Republicans believing Hispanics will continue to go right wing. If that doesn't happen, then this redraw ends up becoming maybe even a Democrat positive. Talk about how the Hispanic move in Texas makes this a Republican move. 10 years ago, this wouldn't have actually been that way. And how much of the Texas gambit is really reliant

on the continuing changing of the Republican party's core demographics? Well, you know, it's a big factor, right? And you know, for 15, 20 years, the big line from Democrats and some Republicans was demography is destiny, Hispanics vote overwhelmingly Democrat, Texas will become a purple state and then a solidly blue state. And what disrupted that was not just Donald Trump, but the party's identity overall and some other Republican candidates developing the capacity to appeal

to Hispanic voters, working class voters, religious voters, conservatives, people who want to be tough on the border, people who think the U.S. should not be funding NATO. Hispanic voters have some differences, but a lot of them are like the rest of the electorate. They're ready to vote with the candidate or the party that appeals to them. So it's clear that it's up for grabs, but it's also clear that the inexorable move of Texas to purple and then blue

has been disrupted by several factors. Most of all, the ability to compete for Hispanic voters are growing share of the electorate in Texas. Let's play cut 300. This is Governor Hockel threatening to redraw the maps. Play cut 300. Well, Donald Trump and his co-conspirator, Greg Abbott, erode our democracy and drag us toward authoritarianism.

Now, what Texas and Republican states are doing at the direction of Donald Trump, I say is nothing short of a legal insurrection against our Capitol. If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice. We must do the same. There's a phrase, you have to fight fire with fire. That is a true statement of how we're feeling right now. And as I've said, another overused but applicable phrase, all's fair and love and war. That's why I'm exploring with our leaders every option to redraw our state congressional

lines as soon as possible. Well, first of all, she says we're at war. That's quite, that's quite sweet. New York drew, redrew their maps though, to eliminate three Republican seats in 2023. This is, is this some, this is not a new concept for major states to try and, uh, the 2022, to try and change lines to benefit one political party? Well, it's as old as the republic practically, and I find it somewhat hilarious to hear these democrats on their high horse about how horrible it is to redistrict for political

advantage because both parties have done it, particularly ironic that the some of the Texas Democratic legislators took refuge in Illinois, a state that has one of the most aggressive Democratic redistricting. And Democrats basically have the attitude, and I wouldn't say Republicans differ, we're for redistricting in blue states that benefit us, but red states, they shouldn't do it. And Republicans say the opposite.

So if Kathy Hochul thinks she can ring more Democratic states out of the map, and if the legislature will go along with her and they can execute, maybe she cannot, say, the Ains Democrats and Republicans expect in Texas. We went through a period where good government types prevailed in a lot of states to say redistricting should be nonpartisan. There shouldn't be anything close to this, that the line should be drawn to keep communities together, not so-called gerrymandered, where you're drawing them with sophisticated technology

specifically to try to maximize the partisan edge of one side. And of course, statistically, you can see where it's effective and where those who believe it shouldn't be done are losing out, because you know how many people vote in the state for Democrats and Republicans. That should represent the rough balance of what makes up the congressional delegation. But we see in state after state that's not the case, even though some states have adopted nonpartisan commissions and other efforts to keep this from being political. But Texas wants to make it political. It's not surprising these democratic states want to. I'm just not sure they'll be able to execute on it.

One of the reasons we love having you on the program, Mark, is you are an honest reporter. You got the Biden story right and correct well before anybody else. And you talk to people on the left quite frequently. I want to play this piece of tape and get your take on whether or not this is accurate of the type of Democrat mentality you're seeing and sensing. Let's play cut 256. I have I have long operated in a disumption is going to take us about 40 years to get this whole I'm sorry I believe in 40 years.

I believe in cyclical history. 1820s, 1860s, 1920s, 1960s, we're in the 2020s. We're not getting out this to the 2060s. It's going to take a long time to fix these. I mean, it might not take 40 years, Mark, but are Democrats really that demoralized? Some of them are because Donald Trump's victory, as you well know, Charlie, because you've stated it, it's not just he won the popular vote. It's the move of these demographic groups towards him, the moves of many counties towards him, and the lack of ideas. Right now, why are Democrats all jazzed up about this redistricting thing? Because they can fight Donald Trump in a dramatic way. They'll get a lot of news coverage for it.

But there are no ideas behind this. It's a process fight. Donald Trump fights on process, but that's not why he was one, two out of three elections. He talks about ideas that real Americans think about will impact their real lives in a positive way. And so Democrats who think they're going to be in the wilderness for a while, see a lack of leadership, see a lack of fundraising, see a lack of democratic shows like yours. But I think most of what they see is just a lack of ideas, a lack of capacity to save the

American people. We can make your life better. Again, I'm not this show is not a show where we're always like, oh, the red wave is coming and Democrats always going to be wiped out. But Mark, at this point of time, I would have expected a lot more small dollar Democrat fundraising, a lot more candidate recruitment. Can you at least give us a little bit of an idea? What is going on in the kind of mechanics, the grading of the Democrat Party? Are we seeing 2017 type energy? What is this a parallel to?

One minute remaining. Okay. Well, make no mistake. They won all those Senate races in the contested states that Donald Trump won. They may well take control of the House. So it's not like they're going down to a 14% party. What's happening is the DNC is not sophisticated. They're behind by more than they realize on technology

used for voter registration, voter turnout, and small dollar fundraising is going to be depressed if you don't have charismatic leaders who are doing stuff that people are excited about. Quite the contrary, they're depressed about having much money they gave Kamala Harris only to see her lose. So they need to get that virtuous cycle going. They need some victories. That's part of what this is about, this redistricting thing. They're trying to get in the news to say to their tribe, give us money. We know what we're doing. We're going to fight

Donald Trump. We're going to fight the Republicans. But they're not there. And part of it, again, is the lack of ideas, but also a lot on the mechanic side where they're, as I said, they're further behind, I think, than they realize.

Okay, Mark Halpern, you're going to have to explain this to me. New York times, right? Rates of peace. What to do when the president acts like a five year old. I really don't like the term Trump derangement syndrome, but it's just accurate. I haven't found a better one to fill it. TDS.

The, the TDS and mainstream media has reached a new fever pitch. What is driving it? What is behind it? What is behind it? And is there any hope to cure this disease? Well, I mean, we did keep you largely cured measles and the mumps. So maybe, you know, Trump derangement syndrome is coming back. I'm kidding. Exactly.

It's the natural resting state of the state of what I call the dominant media. They want to be in opposition to Donald Trump. And after 2016, and he won, there was like a five-minute thing where the New York Times said, we really need to understand America. And then it was basically four years of Trump derangement syndrome, and then four more years. And then after he won in 2024 and got off to such a fast start in the transition, I think it was at its low point within the media, which

is they respected his victory. They were embarrassed privately about Joe Biden and their role in covering up his loss of mental acuity. And if you look at the coverage in the transition and through the first few months, it wasn't laudatory, but it wasn't as reflective of Trump derangement syndrome. In the last few weeks, it's all come back. And so, back to their natural state, the information on the economy is mixed, but now it's all being reported as negative. Even some Republicans

will say they're not crazy about the president's firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But now that's being turned into a metaphor for what a horrible guy Donald Trump is. Donald Trump, you know, says some inaccurate things quite regularly. And so now they're attributing that to both him being a huge liar and loss of mental acuity on his part, covering it way more than Joe Biden was ever covered. So I don't believe there's a cure for this Trump derangement syndrome. And I believe most of all that Donald Trump benefits so much from Trump derangement syndrome, so much. And that's the ultimate irony of the media is Trump derangement syndrome.

They're helping the very person they're trying to destroy. Yeah. And so the, the Democrat party, I'm endlessly interested, I know you've mentioned this before, but where is the political entrepreneurs of the Democrat Party? I mean, there's plenty of opportunities. We saw this actually in 2017, 2018, everyone would be starting new groups, new protest movements. I'm not saying that there's no energy, but I suppose Mom Donnie is a little bit of a

manifestation of this, but there's so obvious shortfalls. I mean, for example, they've tried a couple very just like low energy, just lackluster attempts to try to win over younger people that come after Turning Point USA. I suppose when you're talking to Democrat operatives, how are they assessing their lack of bottom up political entrepreneurs? Yeah, it's three things. One is, I don't know if you call it luck, bad luck, whatever, but they just don't have the kind of people like you and others who are both talented content creators and also people who believe in the cause. You've got the guys in Crooked Media,

they're just as likely to take a dump on a presidential candidate of their own party than they are to look for the good. So that's number one is they just don't have the horses. Number two, again, they're so spoiled by having the dominant media on their side. You all rose up in reaction to an absence in the market of voices to be counterposed, even though the dominant media is nowhere near as powerful as

it used to be, even though Biden and Harris have caused a bit of a fissure. It's still every game is a home game for them. And so they just don't have the same incentive. So good. The fierce necessity to rise up because every day they can turn on NBC and open the New York Times website and see their side. And then lastly, it's again back to the absence of ideas. You can build voices and grassroots around tactics and strategy and famous people and creative ideas like your group does. But in the

end, people want to know what's going to make their life better. And so your events are fun and interesting and filled with energy. But there's lots of conversation about policy ideas at the state, local and national level that people can be excited about. They just haven't generated those ideas in such a long time. It's such a great point. And Mark, in person, I'd love to explore this topic deeper. Again, this is not just trying to celebrate everything down at Turning Point USA, which I do believe is worthy of appreciation, but it's perplexion, right? Because you look at that Voters of Tomorrow Summit that Nancy Pelosi spoke at, I mean, that was pathetic. I mean, it was maybe

200 people and that is the former Speaker of the House and they'd come all here. So it wasn't as if they weren't able to get the big guns but there's something missing there I'm not there to help them I'm help them at all but there's definitely a major disconnect in the landscape everyone check out two-way tv and Mark Halperin's wonderful program I think you guys next up I think you'll really enjoy it Mark thank you so much we much. We'll see you soon. Thank you, sir. Good to see you. Take care. You too. I'm excited to share something that's especially close to my heart, the people of Israel. The Bible teaches us that in a world of broken promises, one covenant remains unshakable, God's eternal promise, His unwavering commitment to Israel, His beloved people. And now more than ever, God is calling Christians everywhere to support Israel, to be a living

testimony that his promises endure forever. I've chosen to partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews as one way to align myself with God's eternal plan. For over 40 years, this wonderful ministry has faithfully provided nutritious food, care, and life-saving aid to Israel's most vulnerable, the poor, and the elderly, many of whom are Holocaust survivors. And when crises strike, like rocket attacks or urgent humanitarian needs, IFCJ is already on the ground responding with compassion and support.

Senator Scott, thank you so much for joining the program and congratulations on the one-year wedding anniversary. Senator, great to see you. Thank you, Charlie, very much for having me on the program. Certainly one year, I'm always excited about how God fulfills your prayers. It took me 50 plus years to get here, but I'm thankful to be

here now. So it's a good day. Hey, you're finishing strong with all that matters, my friend. So, Senator, I love, and I have to be honest, I love how you are always mentioning your faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. You're unafraid to do that, and I wish more lawmakers were also unafraid. Can you just introduce, I mean, people know your story roughly, but I want to get to your book, but why is it that you have such boldness and conviction to proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Christ as our King? Because in politics, it feels so materialistic and power hungry. So please elaborate on that, sir.

Yeah. Well, Charlie, for me, it comes right down to one thing as a kid growing up in poverty, single parent household. You know, one of the most devastating realities of our country is too many kids grow up in fatherless homes. And as one of those kids, I got to tell you, you either turn to drugs, you turn to gangs, you turn to team sports, you turn to something to help you understand who you are. And I was blessed by a praying grandmother and a praying mother

who taught me that my identity isn't in gangs or drugs, or even in sports, even though I love them. My identity would only be found in Christ. And so long story short, even though I love them. My identity would only be found in Christ. And so, long story short, Charlie, I had a great friend who taught me that he was happy because Jesus Christ was the Lord of his life. And this is a white guy. He was living in a single wide trailer.

His family, they were poor, almost as poor as we were. But he had this energy, this enthusiasm about life, and he said it came from the source called Jesus. And I literally asked the question, what else? Because there must be something else besides Jesus. And I learned as a freshman in college that when you give your life to Jesus, nothing is the same, and you find the Father you're looking for. nothing is the same. And you find the Father you're looking for. Ephesians 2 writes the story of our lives, giving us the identity that we need in Christ Jesus. And Galatians 3 28 tells me I was

adopted into the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords family. And so I could always be confident and strong in who I am in Christ. I might not be strong in who I am without Christ, but in Him I can celebrate. And so I always make sure that I never forget where I come from and now whose I am. And that's always a time to celebrate. And frankly, Charlie, I'm either one of the preacher, so I'm trying to be short, because once I start winding up on Christ, sometimes I go a little long. But let me just simply say this.

Oh, I love it. Well, you got the preach. Love it. No, please finish. Yeah, the foundations of this country are a Judeo-Christian foundation. Anyone who suggests otherwise, they are just lying to you or completely misled. Number two, our future will be defined by our adherence to that Judeo-Christian ethos

that has been the foundation of the greatest story on earth, and it's called America. Oh, I love it. Now, Senator, I was gonna make a joke. I said you got the preacher energy and the Senate floor speaking energy kind of together and so you could just keep going. I love it. Charlie, that's the nicest way anyone has ever said. Charlie, that's the nicest way anyone has ever said. You're long-winded. I appreciate that. That was funny. I was trying to tell a joke there. Well thank you. So I want trying to tell a joke there.

Thank you. So I want to get to your book here. It's One Nation Always Under God. We're showing it up on screen. I want everyone to check it out. Profiles in Christian Courage. And I just want to continue to encourage you to speak about your faith at all times because I notice it and I see it and so many others do. Tell us about some of these stories here, like abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. I knew nothing about him before beginning to read your book. Tell us about it, Senator. One of the things I wanted to do, one of the most controversial things I've ever said,

I think as a public official, is that America is not a racist country. And I was attacked vehemently in response to President Biden's comments and Kamala Harris's comments and the whole world went crazy. So when I wrote this book, I had that in the back of my mind. See, America, we certainly have an original sin.

We all do. We were born into sin and conceived in wickedness in a way. The truth of the matter, though, is that we've always fought for our identity through the Declaration of Independence, that God gave us these inalienable rights that come from God, not from man. So I wanted to tell the story of a little-known guy named William Lloyd Garrison who fought tooth and nail for the freedom he believed only comes from God. And as a result, he was a journalist. I thank God for Holy Ghost Field journalists.

Back in those days, we could use them now. I wanted to tell the story about... We need more of those. We really do. We really do. But here's a guy willing to lose his fortune, lose his fame, and frankly lose his life just so that he could do what God had called him to do. And it's a fantastic story by the book, One Nation Always Under God, and hear how he overcame the challenges, how he escaped a mob because he felt like he had to go into the fire to come out looking like gold. And that's what God does with ordinary people time and time again. Hey, listen, I've watched your YouTubes, Charlie.

And the one thing I can tell you about your YouTubes, you're on fire when you were challenging the most liberal orthodoxy on college campuses and around this country, because you believe that there's this core to your soul that is anchored in Christ, and you have an obligation, a responsibility, and frankly, the good fortune to educate the misinformed, to educate the miseducated, and to educate the indoctrinated. We need to have more stories like yours and William Lloyd Garrison to remind people of our future. Well, thank you for saying that, and that means a lot, Senator. And the book, One Nation Always Under God, includes a man that I actually had a chance to shake his hand.

There is a restaurant in the service of Chicago called Lovell's. I had a chance to meet Jim Lovell once, actually, Apollo 13 astronaut whose faith sustained him 200,000 miles from Earth. Tell us about Jim Lovell and his faith. Well, Charlie, here's another great story. You are a blessed man to have shaken his hand. What an amazing life he lived.

But perhaps the most important part of his life is how he connected his faith and how he overcame the crisis at the time. Here's a guy 200,000 miles away from home. He had been prepared to be an astronaut. He had dreamt about it. He was living his dream. And then everything that could go wrong, including running out of oxygen, hundreds of thousands of miles, not just from home, but from earth. What did he do? He prayed. He thought. One of the scriptures I love in the Bible

is Matthew 22, 37, that says, we should love the Lord our God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Well, how do we love the Lord our God with all of our minds? I think we have to develop our minds. God gave us tremendous capacity. And what you'll read in Jim Lovell's story is how he developed his mind about the things of being an astronaut. And as a result, under pressure, your mind instinctively goes to where it has spent a lot of time.

And fortunately for the other astronauts out in space with him, his mind went to problem solving. He figured out how to calm his nerves. 1 Peter 5, 7 reminds us that we can cast all of our cares upon the Lord for he cares for us. In that state he found peace that allowed him to put together how to conserve the oxygen, get back to earth, and save the lives of his fellow astronauts, all while praising the Lord. I believe that we are not always going to have great times.

Sometimes we run into something that seems insurmountable. What do you do then? You do what Jim Lovell did. You have great faith, whether it works or whether it doesn't. You're always better off leaning into your faith during times of crisis. Jim Lovell's story in One Nation Always Under God is a great place to understand what to do when you find yourself in an extraordinary circumstance that requires an extraordinary God. So it's so beautifully said. We only have a couple minutes remaining here, Senator.

Again, the book is One Nation Always Under God, Profiles in Christian Courage. What would you say is the through line between William Lloyd Garrison, Jim Lovell, Dorothea Dix, Norman Borlaug that you talk about in this book? When you were putting this book together, when you were composing it, they all had Christian courage, but is there a biblical character consistency between all of these people that you try to then apply to your entire life? Was there a spiritual discipline? Was there a practice? Was there a humility?

Was there a piety? Tell us what you learned as far as similarities between all of these people in different walks of life, in different times, in different centuries, the commonalities and the similarities that some of them had. You know, Genesis 12, 1 and 2 reminds us, 2 and 3 actually, tells us that the good Lord will make your name great here upon the earth as you adhere to the gospel message, so to speak. In the Old Testament, of course, they didn't call it the gospel message, but in the New

Testament we refer to it. One of the things you'll find through all the stories in the book is the faith of Abraham. Abraham is the father of the faithful. But before he was Abraham, he was just Abram. Abram was a guy that had some doubts, some inconsistencies, and some insecurities. And as a result, he tried to do things his own way. Kind of like me, probably not like you. But I've tried to do things my own way, Charlie, and it always leads to the wrong direction. But when I become Abraham, when I see the Lord in the things that I'm doing,

I find the through line in my book is the Abrahamic spirit that faith adhere to and applied where I have an expertise always produces the best results for me and more importantly, for the nation or for the world where I'm called to serve. And whether it's Norman Burlog, whether it's Dorothea Dix fighting for those who are mentally challenged, all what we see through all of their lives

is the dependence on God under pressure and how their faith is bolstered, not by the results but by the peace that comes in the midst of a crisis. You can have that and if you read the book One Nation Always Under God you'll find how to have peace in the midst of challenges and how to believe that America's best days are ahead of us. And thank God they are. Amen. Praise the Lord. Senator, thank you so much and we'll be praying for you and thank you for being an example of a

godly Christian leader in the US Senate. One Nation Always Under God by Senator Tim Scott. Thank you so much. Thank you Charlie. God bless you. I hope to see you sometime on the show again. Yes sir.

So the left is going on and on about how Sydney Sweeney and her new ad for American Eagle is Nazi propaganda and right-wing fascism, but somebody decided to go look up her voter registration and it turns out that Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican. That's right.

Sydney Sweeney is a right-winger. Now this has people very confused and surprised and you haven't been paying attention about how young people have been moving to the right, but they're, of course, they're very easy to explanation. right-winger. Now this has people very confused and surprised and you haven't been paying attention about how young people have been moving to the right, but they're of course the very easy explanation. Sydney Sweeney, she knows her audience. Her audience is a bunch of young Gen Z men that have been moving dramatically to the right. And of course after this Sydney Sweeney has not responded to this at all. You got to imagine this is only further radicalizing her to the right.

She's an all-American girl. She grew up in near Spokane, right near the Idaho border. We don't know how conservative she is to be clear, but she doesn't have to default to being a lib just to survive as a celebrity. You had to do that for a long time and she has not put out some sort of, oh, well actually I hate XYZ.

And now this is American Eagle Scott stock put 313 up on screen. Boom. Look at the stock of American Eagle skyrocketing. That is American Eagle that is up 33% in the last month just since the Sydney Sweeney ad. All of a sudden, people are talking about buying American Eagle just to show solidarity. And of course, Plica 312.

Sydney Sweeney, she's a very hot actress right now. She's a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad. Is that right? Is Sydney Sweeney? You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that.

If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic. 284, President Donald Trump puts up on Truth Social, Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the hottest ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the genes are flying off the shelves. Go get them, Sidney. And the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, seriously woke advertisement, the total disaster. It goes on.

President Donald Trump is a cultural phenomenon and a cultural force. And he has helped lead this entire right-wing revolution. This is the Democrats are now. Look, if you really want to lose men for a generation, if you want to lose men permanently, keep on doing what you're doing. I don't think there's an easier way to lose young men. The best equivalent I could give for an older audience, could you imagine if the Democrat Party would have attacked and fair a faucet for being a fascist or would attacked Kathy Ireland or Brooke

Shields or Pamela Anderson or Carmen Electra in generations prior. Every time they call Sydney Sweeney a fascist, a young man registers as a Republican, a floundering, aimless, desperate political movement. And now there's new footage that shows that Sydney Sweeney is, ooh, she shoots guns. And they say this was a fascist right-wing advertisement. Ooh, she shoots guns and they say this was a fascist right-wing advertisement. Well, now I guess she's a terrible person because she knows how to fire a gun rather well, I might say. I think I know the exact shooting range she was at there, by the way. That's where I saw Joe Rogan. I think I know exactly. It's right near Camarillo, I think. I know exactly where that is.

Where a lot of celebrities go to shoot. It's where I ran into Rogan once. The situation in front of the Democrats right now is rather perplexing. But honestly, the more that they're just going to attack a non-controversial kind of just nothing, not nothing ad, but the more young men continue to move to the right. Their cultural dominance is just dead. They used to have complete monopoly over the culture and this shows that they have no such control, no such dominance. The country is moving further and further to the right. Woke as a zombie and the future is American, dare I say American Eagle. Thanks so much for listening everybody.
