Summary
As breaking news comes out about Trump’s pending indictment, Charlie relays the news, then dissects a recommendation from Congressman Matt Gaetz: Should Gov. Ron DeSantis openly defy New York's indictment, and intervene to protect Trump from being the first former president to ever be arrested? What would the ramifications of that be, for Trump, for DeSantis, and for the entire country going forward?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody today in the Charlie Kirk show, should Ron DeSantis draw a line in the sand and say you cannot extradite Trump? |
| 0:06.0 | It's a radical proposal. And then I ask a very simple question, what is racism? |
| 0:10.3 | Email is freedom at Charlie Kirk.com. Get involved with TurningPoint USA.com. Start a high school or college chapter with Turning Point USA at TPUSA.com. That's tpUSA.com.

| 0:56.4 | Brought to you by my friends, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, AAA, AAA-1-172, or Andrew |
| 1:03.0 | and Todd.com. |
| 1:07.3 | Ron DeSantis has been in the headlines the last couple of days. |
| 1:11.6 | I think some of the coverage of him has been unfair. |
| 1:14.5 | Some of it, I think, has been pretty good feedback. |
| 1:18.5 | I think people have been really fired up at Governor DeSantis because they feel as if in that press conference, |
| 1:23.1 | he kind of took a little bit of a low jab against Trump. |
| 1:25.1 | He didn't quite understand how angry people were about this ridiculous overreach abuse of indictment authority and prosecutorial abuse |
| 1:35.0 | done by potentially done by Alvin Bragg in Manhattan because it seemed as if they were going |
| 1:39.1 | to indict Donald Trump. And now that's a little bit more in question, largely because of |
| 1:43.2 | the media and the |
| 1:44.7 | PR backlash. But Ron DeSantis the other day said this, and let's just play it again. Again, |
| 1:51.1 | and I think that some of the representations of this press conference have been overblown. At the |
| 1:58.1 | same time, I'll be honest, he missed an opportunity. He should have |
| 2:01.4 | been very forceful. He should have leaned in. And there's one element here that I think he missed. |
| 2:06.8 | Matt Gates also identified this as well, but let's replay it. Cut 12. This was Ron DeSantis |
| 2:12.9 | speaking on the Trump case. Won some sneering and snarking from the audience, play Cut 12. |
| 2:20.7 | You're talking about this situation with, and look, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star, |
| 2:27.6 | to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just, I can't speak to that. |
