Crane emphasized the significance of Trump’s leadership choices, particularly those who have faced challenges from the federal government, and highlighted the powerful backing Trump enjoys from influential figures like Elon Musk.

Crane expressed admiration for Trump’s bold cabinet selections, including Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and Matt Gaetz, all of whom have been vocal about issues such as government overreach and reform.

“I love his cabinet nominations,” Crane said. “I love that he’s picking people who have been the victims of a weaponized, out-of-control federal government that has gone after him, like Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz. I think those are amazing choices.”

Crane also directed a pointed message to Republican senators who might attempt to stall Trump’s agenda. “My message to you senators out there that think you’re going to get in the way of President Trump: the game has changed. The landscape has changed,” he said.

“The American people gave the president a massive mandate, and now we have folks like Elon Musk, who have massive platforms and very deep pocketbooks, who have said if you get in the way of President Trump’s agenda, he will be coming and playing in primary. So you know, game on.”

Charlie Kirk, host of the show and founder of Turning Point USA, echoed Crane’s sentiments, underscoring the strong support Trump received from voters in the recent election.

Kirk also called out senators in red states who might consider opposing Trump’s plans. “Eli Crane, you’re a great American,” Kirk said. “Let me just repeat that, if you happen to be an old bull senator in Idaho, South Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma—which only Markwayne [Mullin] has been great, but Lankford, we’re talking to you—or Mississippi, yes.”

Crane’s comments reflect growing confidence among Trump allies that the incoming administration has the political capital and grassroots support to push through its agenda, even in the face of potential resistance from within the GOP.

His warning to senators signals a broader strategy to ensure the implementation of Trump’s policies by leveraging public support and high-profile allies like Elon Musk.

As Trump announces his cabinet appointments and policy initiatives, Crane’s endorsement signals strong alignment within Trump’s circle and a readiness to confront pushback from Democrats and even some Republicans.

With a renewed mandate from voters, the stage is set for an assertive push to enact Trump’s vision for the next four years.
