Games, and we're totally fine with that. We are very fine with that. I cannot wait for the all American halftime show. That'll be at approximately 8pm Eastern right here on Real America's Voice. Robin Parker, Sig. Huge shout out to you, gentlemen. You have believed in us and in this vision from the very get go. Real America's Voice is going to be playing that live. And I think they've got some plans like before and after. Maybe I'll. I'll give them a call and see how I can help. It was briefly mentioned to me, so it's going to be huge. I've seen the rehearsal. I have actually seen some of it, and it's awesome. It's. It's like amazing, actually. I don't want to oversell it because, you know, then there's nowhere to go but down. But it's really good. Really, really good. And it's beautiful, too. It's the. The team has just done a tremendous job. Another piece of news here. Erica Kirk was up with governor Greg Gianforte in the great state of Montana yesterday, celebrating a new state partnership with that state to get a club America chapter in every chapter, every high school, rather, across that state. So add that to the list of Texas Add that to the list of Tennessee, Florida, Indiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma. So we're making huge, huge moves there. So thank you to the governor, Greg Gianforte, who's known Charlie since he was 18. So that's a long time relationship there. Very proud, honored to be doing that. We've got thousands and thousands of high school chapters. That's the way you think about the Ice Walkouts. You think about the indoctrination of the Grammys and Hollywood and all that stuff. And meanwhile, turning Point. We've got all American halftime show celebrating faith, family, freedom. Amazing content that a made for TV concert experience that's good for the whole family celebrating faith, family, freedom. And then we've got high school chapters rolling out all across the country. So I like to think that Charlie would be smiling down on us and I believe he is. We want to get into some rather less positive news, unfortunately, for a few reasons. I actually think it has national importance and that is the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mom. So Savannah Guthrie is the host of the Today Show. She's been hosting that show since 2011. She was a co host of the Third Hour Chief Legal correspondent, later becoming a main co anchor in 2012. She previously served as a White House correspondent for NBC News from 2008 to 2011. And what's kind of tragic about this is it ties into another current event in that she was supposed to be hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Italy. So obviously that's not going to be happening because her mother, Nancy, who lived in Tucson or lives in Tucson, where she grew up. Where she grew up. So just down the road from us here, really, really close to the border, she was abducted from her house. It looks like sometime on Sunday she failed to show up at church as she always did. And that was so striking to those who are used to seeing her that they immediately reported her as missing. They went to check on her missing. So when I heard this story, Blake, and it's going to sound weird, but you were the first person I thought of. And the reason I say that is because when Charlie was here and we were living through Biden's border invasion, we kept warning, you kept warning specifically about the rise of kidnappings in South America and how we were basically opening our doors to the same culture here, it's.
Blake (5:22)
A long term thing, is that as the border between the US and Latin America would break down, I feared. And we don't know, just to clarify, we don't know all the facts here. So this is still Speculative on our part, but they do think a kidnapping here is very plausible. They seem to have a ransom note of some kind. They think it might be real. I believe her pacemaker has stopped updating with her Apple watch, and so it seems like she's out of range of it. So various reasons they think it's real. And a thing that this got us thinking of is in Latin America, a very common crime relative to the United States is kidnapping specifically for ransom. In Venezuela, for example, we have an image of this. We do throw that up in Venezuela under the Chavez government, they had a breakdown, law and order. And so they started having thousands of kidnappings per year. That would be like having thousands in a nation the size of California increased.
Blake (6:25)
And that's like going into 2011. I don't know what the rate was over the past 15 years, but I think it remained high. And it's not just Venezuela, Mexico. I think in 2022 or 23, they had 100,000 missing people in a year. That's like a one in a thousand chance of going missing each year in Mexico. I think a lot of that gets resolved eventually. But that's just the thing. It's such a regular industry in the U.S. missing people are usually like, it could be a custody dispute or it could be someone kind of ran away and they're just genuinely disappeared. Or like, tragically, you have, you know, kidnappings that unfortunately end in murders, but you don't see too much kidnapping for ransom as a business model.
Charlie Kirk (7:04)
And I need, just need to be clear for accuracy sake. We don't know who took her. They don't have any leads. They have no suspects. I mean, this is. They are trying to get as much help from the community, ring, cameras, all of those things. The FBI has been called in. Cash Patel is in. President Trump has spoken with Savannah Guthrie saying that, you know, the full force of the federal government, law enforcement is going to be there helping. There's also been a rant. Yeah, there it is. There's the truth. Social saying that the President spoke with Savannah Guthrie. I think that that's really touching. I'm sure Savannah Guthrie is a liberal person, probably not a supporter, but here in her time of need. And, you know, they've even gotten a ransom note that now they can't say that it's 100%, with 100% certainty that it is accurate, that it is authentic. But there are some reasons to believe that it probably is. Let's go ahead and play this from a local affiliate in Tucson, Kold 13 News. They are the ones that received the alleged ransom note tied to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. And the station's anchor Mary Coleman here tells CNN why she believes this might not be a hoax.
Charlie Kirk (8:43)
It also included a dollar amount, a deadline and again, other specifics that only Guthrie's abductor might know. So that definitely raised some red flags. So just to repeat, it says the alleged ransom note included a dollar amount, a deadline and again, other specifics that only Guthrie's abductor might know. And there is we have an image. This is a blood splatter down I believe on the front porch of the home, which I've been told is sort of like low velocity blood splatter. So something like maybe from a bloody nose and so as opposed to a gunshot or something like that where it would be more high velocity splatter. So the hope is that she's still alive and that she is being held somewhere, hopefully held for ransom. So let's go through this timeline. So Saturday night, January 31, 2026, at about 9:30, Nancy Guthrie, 84, arrives at her home in the Catalina foothills area of Tucson, Arizona. So it's kind of outside of town, a little bit remote. She had spent the evening having dinner with family, including her daughter Annie, who drove her home. It is believed Annie is the last person to have seen seen her mother. Sunday, February 1st. So that was late at night. 2:00am in the morning, Guthrie's pacemaker syncs with her Apple devices at home for the last time. Investigators believe she is taken out of range around this time. 11:00am Nancy fails to arrive at regular church service, a member of which calls her family. 11:10 Family members arrive at her home to find it empty. 12:15 Pima County Sheriff Department receives a missing person call. Deputies respond and find Nancy's car phone and wallet still inside the home. Blood drops are found leading outside toward the driveway. The doorbell camera had been removed. So I think that's a really important detail there that the doorbell camera had been removed. By Monday, Sheriff Chris Nano says he Believes Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will approximately between 9:30pm Saturday and 11am Sunday. So it's a pretty big window. Although that pacemaker syncing with the Apple devices at 2am for the last time would probably indicate that it happened after 2am so the home is treated as a potential crime scene and homicide detectives are involved. And now you've got all of federal law enforcement. Kristi Noem was doing some border wall visits down in the Tucson sector, so she's now been dispatched to help. Another key that I think is, you know, a lot of people I haven't heard people bring up, but is that customs and border patrol are involved, which again, it could just be all hands on deck.
Blake (11:40)
But we speculate on this for a reason because it is just to cite other examples, is here in Phoenix we've also seen a surge in sort of, we saw, especially during the Biden years, we saw the surge in international burglary rings. We saw, we saw international fencing rings, as it were. People would steal cars up in Scottsdale and they would be in Mexico in six hours and you're never going to see them again after that. There is a real, there's an internationalization of crime in the United States that is entirely downstream of the fact that we have had a totally open border for so long. And we hope this isn't a manifestation of that. But at least in my opinion, it's hard for me to not immediately think of those kidnappings for ransom that have happened so often in Latin America. If you follow pro sports, a real thing is pro athletes who came from Venezuela or from the Dominican Republic, places like that, they have to worry about their family members getting kidnapped because they know they have a rich relative in the United States.
Charlie Kirk (12:40)
Yeah, it's a real problem. And you think about Savannah Guthrie, obviously on the Today show, huge, huge celebrity. And she just has this 80 octogenarian mother out kind of in the outskirts of Tucson sitting or living seemingly alone. You know, it was interesting. My mother's reaction to this was that, you know, I'm not sure I would want my 80 plus year old mom to be living out alone. And I was like, well, but she's, that's just, she's independent. She should have every right to do that.
Charlie Kirk (15:49)
And hope she's found soon and that she's found safely and that we can get to the bottom of what really happened. And it looks like the search for Nancy has picked up backup at Guthrie's house. So I don't know if they're sweeping for more details here or more clues.464 the sheriff's department announced yesterday that they had cleared the crime scene at Nancy Guthrie's home and handed it back to the Guthrie family. Well, just a short time ago a whole bunch of sheriff's deputies showed up there along with border patrol agents with dogs and members of the FBI and they put the tape back around that house, sealing it off. We believe that there is a search ongoing in part of the area around the back of that property. Right now, we don't know exactly what they're all looking for, but certainly there is suddenly very intense activity back at Nancy Guthrie's house. So that's an interesting thing where they clear the house, they give it back to the family, and then they move back in and tape it all off. So interesting. I want to show this image, though, kind of back to your earlier point four nine two. This is a pic of a map of Tucson's proximity to the border and corresponding border wall. So if you look at this map, the red portions of it are finished wall, new border wall from President Trump. Orange are older border wall, yellow is like vehicle fence, green is damaged border wall. So it's a pretty, I mean, stretches into New Mexico. A lot of that land where there isn't border wall is either very second priority, border wall area very remote, or it's mountainous. But I do believe the plan is to complete it all the way through. So just something to keep in mind as we talk about that story.
Blake (17:47)

Charlie Kirk (18:49)
All right, Senator Rick Scott, I gotta start with a question here that I did not prep you for, but we were just covering the Savannah Guthrie. Her mom, Nancy, has been abducted in Tucson, Arizona, and it Reminded me of a lot of conversations Blake here had with Charlie. Charlie mentioned on the show a couple times that when you have an open border, you're gonna have a rise in these abductions because it's very South American, it's very Mexican. Like, it's a cultural phenomenon in south of the border. Now you are a senator and formerly the governor of the state of Florida, where you have a lot of Latin Americans, a lot of Venezuelans, Cubans. Is this something that you see now, to be fair, we don't know who did this, but is this something that you guys have to wrestle with in Florida, just with the types of populations that have moved in?
Senator Rick Scott (19:40)
Well, I mean, we're always cautious, but we have great sheriff's departments, great police departments. We don't have sanctuary cities in Florida, and we've got tough enforcement laws. So if you're convicted in Florida, you serve 80, you have to serve 85% of your sentence. And so there was. I saw something on, what, CNN a couple years ago, and they said, oh, yeah, we don't commit a crime in Florida because they put you in jail. We just go down there to party. And I think. I think what's happened around our country is people know where to commit the crimes. You know, they know where to go. So. But no, we. We don't have. You know, first off, you're right. You know, a lot of the kidnappings, it's sort of common in Latin America. And, you know, the nice thing is to come to our state, you know, we don't have it. You know, we got a lot of water between us and that. So we haven't had the same issues that they've had in some other places. And I think the other thing. We're not a sanctuary city, and we have tough enforcement laws.
Charlie Kirk (20:39)
Yeah. Well, our hearts and prayers are with the Guthrie family. It's really just a terrible story. And it's their video they released is just heartbreaking. And so we are praying for Nancy Guthrie, that she would be reunited with her family. Hopefully, she's safe and well. I want to turn our attention, Senator, to the SAVE Act. Now, there was a clip yesterday. I believe our team is pulling it. I'm not sure if we have it yet. We do. So this is Leader Thune, and he's talking about the pushback that he's getting from Democrats on the SAVE act in the Senate. 495.
Senator Rick Scott (21:14)
Their political basis is demanding they fight with anything that President Trump wants. It is Trump derangement syndrome. It is on steroids around here. These days, and even logical, commonsensical things like ensuring that if you're going to vote in an American election, you ought to be an American citizen, they're going to just instinctively oppose. So that's what we're up against.
Senator Rick Scott (21:55)
Well, we're going to get it passed. I don't know how we're going to get it done, but Senator Mike Lee and I are focused on this every day. A lot of our friends in the House are focused on this. You have to have an ID to get on an airplane. You ought to have an ID to vote. You know, I'd have to. You shouldn't be able to register to vote if you're, you know, you can't prove your citizenship, can't vote. I mean, I can't vote. I wouldn't vote for Macron in France or Starmer in the uk But I don't get to vote for them. So you get to vote illegal. We have to use the, the talking filibuster. It's, it's not changing the rules, it's enforcing the rules. It's just saying if you want to, if you want to stop, if you want to slow down the process, you can go talk. But this idea that you don't have to talk and we have to wait for 60 votes to show up is, is wrong. So we're going to, you know, we're going to keep talking about it. You saw the President posted about it last night that if you, if the Democrats, you know, want to slow something down, you, you're going to have to talk on the floor. But we have got to get things passed that are good for this country. We've got to, you know, we've got to secure a border, we've got to get Homeland Security funded, we got to get ICE funded, We've got to pass the Save America Act. There's a lot of things like that. And we, if we, you know, if the Democrats are not going to work with us, then we have to use the talking filibuster to get it done.
Charlie Kirk (23:16)
Yeah, but, but, but take a Step back. We think of 60 votes to break cloture is. It's kind of like we just assume you need 60 votes to do anything. In the Senate, that's not really true. Obviously, we have reconciliation. But when you actually look the history, it started in, like, 1917 when they really kind of started using this, but it was used very sparingly. But in our modern era, we just think 60 votes. You gotta have 60 votes. And basically, in our divided world, we can't get 60 votes on anything. Explain to the audience what it's like in the Senate. What's the workaround? How do you get this done? Is there support to get rid of this zombie filibuster? The floor is yours, sir.
Senator Rick Scott (24:02)
Well, number one, if this is important to you, you need to call your senator and let them know that the Save America act or any other bill you think is important has to get passed. And you've got to use the talking filibuster to get it done. So all we're going to do is are the Democrats to do what they should do. The filibuster was simply a decision by the Senate to say, okay, at some period of time, we're going to stop talking and we're going to vote. Right. I think Clarence Thomas got two votes. All right, so, but they didn't use the, they didn't use the filibuster process to prevent him from ever having a vote. So the bottom line is, is that we've got it. We've got to, you know, do what, do our job. If we want to talk, if you want to go talk, have at it. But when you're done talking, we are going to vote, and it's going to take 50 votes plus the vice president to pass legislation or pass knobs. That's what we have to do. Now, the noms, we've already changed because the Democrats wouldn't block everything. So, and this is just, they don't want Trump to get anything done. They want, you know, right now where they want to shut down the government. They don't want, they don't want a good economy. So we have got, we have to do this. And by the way, if we want to save this country, we've got to make sure people feel comfortable that our elections are fair. I mean, if, I mean, just the concept that you don't have to show your ID to vote is foreign. Americans believe it. Republicans, Democrats, we all believe you have to do this. And so that's what we're, it's, it's, we're Going to get this done. I'm going to keep fighting. I know Senator Lee's going to keep fighting to get this done. The president is on board. Right. He knows we have to use the talking filibuster to get his agenda done.
Senator Rick Scott (25:49)
Well, we haven't done it yet. So I tell everybody the way I think DC works is until it happened, be hopeful but take action. So what I would do is I would call everybody, every senator and say, look, you have got to get the Save America passed. If you can't get Democrats, which they're not going to help us, then you've got to do it through the talking. Filibuster. And we can. Is it a pain? It's a pain in the rear. Right. But so what, you know, this is a full time job that we ought to be busting about every day for the American people. This is a very important piece of legislation that's going to save this country.
Charlie Kirk (28:19)
No. And, Senator, I mean, listen, again, I just wanna reiterate out of abundance of caution, we do not know who abducted Nancy Guthrie. We don't. But if we find out that it was cartel related or if it was people that shouldn't be in this country, it's gonna add a really important wrinkle to this. Really quick question for you, Senator, on the DHS funding. Where do we. Where do we stand?
Senator Rick Scott (28:43)
Nowhere. I mean, they're not getting funded. I mean, you know, this is. I mean, the Democrats, they want to shut down this stuff. They want to destroy the Trump presidency. They don't. They don't care about all the crime that come in this country. They don't care. I mean, they are in for. The Democrats are in for open borders with criminals and gangs. They're all okay with that. Look, there's some wonderful people want to come in this country, come in legally, as we have a process for that and we can improve that. But no, the Democrats will not fund ice. Their proposals make no sense. So they don't ask local law enforcement to do these things. Why are they asking ICE to do it?
Charlie Kirk (29:24)
Senator, you know, listen, we've got Leader Thune. He's the leader of the majority in the Senate. We backed you to be leader. And so I'm just going to hang our hat on your assurance that you're going to get this done, because I believe it is existential to getting the SAVE act passed for the future of this country. You know, we had Coach Tuberville on saying that, you know, the Republic as we know it could be over if we don't get election integrity. Basic measures like an id. Thank you for fighting. We're gonna take your word to the bank and we believe you can do it. Get the SAVE act passed.
Charlie Kirk (31:46)
But. Well, I will tell you, the one bit of soccer that I enjoy watching is the World Cup. I can't help it. Don't do this because I'm like, Charlie, I want America to win. Vice President Vance has been arriving. He's in Milan to greet the Team usa. You also got the whole Vance family is arriving in Italy. They posed for a photo with Team usa. By the way, I saw the clips of JD with the Olympians and legitimately, he seems the most excited I've seen him in a long time. Excuse me, like legitimately geeking out on being with them and the way he was talking about him. So. But of course, there you know is some controversy. Apparently it was called the Ice House.
Charlie Kirk (36:12)
Your hearts are with them. Okay, so the Sweden video was the dumbest thing I'd seen in a long time. That actually might be dumber. So in the words of the great Laura Ingraham, shut up and dribble. Okay, I will root for you. I will root for you, Team usa. But now I'm going to do it through grit teeth. I'm going to do it through begrudgingly because I just. Now I know how dumb some of you are. Just shut up and dribble. Shut up and skate. Nobody stole the word ice from you. They're saving American lives. You should say thank you. God bless our law enforcement officers and, you know, thanks for your service. That's what you say. And you don't, you don't do that. Whatever that was. Amber Glenn, dear Lord.
