Praising God After Losing $5 Million

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start at turning point, you say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. 00:00:46 Speaker 2: Lord, Use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 3: All Right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's March eleventh, twenty twenty six. Honored to be with you all. Welcome Blake. 00:01:16 Speaker 4: Howdy Well, we got a lot. 00:01:18 Speaker 3: To get to today, massive busy show. Blake and I have been here since the wee hours of the dawn, so excited to finally get into it. Got to hit this big story. As many of you know, my personal most important issue is deportations. 00:01:35 Speaker 4: Immigration in general. 00:01:37 Speaker 3: We call it the one switch you can flip that will fix all that ails you. Many of the nation's problems. Maybe not all, but many of the nation's problems originate from a failed immigration system flooding the country with people that don't share our values that you end up becoming public charges that fill our streets, our DMVs, our hospitals, our schools, and what the central planks of President Trump's reelection bid was mass deportations. 00:02:04 Speaker 5: At it was at the RNC they had the signs I think mass deportations. 00:02:08 Speaker 3: And you could always get the sense that there was a little bit of a messaging bifurcation inside the administration. There was the get the worst first guys. There was they all need to go guys. I am an ally, they all need to go guy. I believe Blake would be in all the Charlie very much. I mean, he would talk about the ten ten million people. And it's remarkable that in the early days of the administration they would pull different things. You know, the press was trying to undermine the president, and they were trying to pull mass deportations, but consistently mass deportations would pull very favorably. However, fast forward to right now you have Alex pretty Renee Good were two American citizens that were killed in their altercations with ICE agents that ended up dragging down some of the pollings. Certainly, it got spun in the news media very successfully by the left. So there's no doubt that there has been consternation in. 00:03:04 Speaker 5: Com I think that's predictable. It's large scale deportations are just one of those things that inevitably creates its own opposition. You get the photos of crying kids. Well, this kid's crying, So I guess we can't have borders or laws anymore. And so what's happening today that we wanted to highlight. This came out just at the end of the show yesterday. Axio's had one of their exclusives and it's that reportedly White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair has been urging House Republicans to basically stop saying the phrase mass deportations, pivot the messaging too. We're getting rid of violent criminals, We're getting rid of the worst of the worst. And they also cite there's a Politico poll that says about half the country thinks mass deportations is too aggressive. That includes about twenty percent of Trump twenty twenty four voters. And we wanted to highlight that because I think you and I and Charlie would have the same person sective, which is above all, we just we care about success. We don't necessarily care about messaging. So we think if it makes sense for the administration to pivot to oh, we're getting rid of the worst of the worst, go ahead and do it. What matters is reality, and so we I guess our caution to the administration would be, don't let a pivot on messaging turn into a pivot away from policy. Securing the border, deportations, immigration security generally, because a lot of it has been a huge success. You can go through the numbers, like we've doubled the number of ICE arrests overall. There's the new fee on H one p's there's the what thirty three percent drop roughly in foreign students and visus. They've greatly enhanced putting Americans first. There's been not having US endlessly be the dumping ground of the third world. 00:04:49 Speaker 3: There's been a full on ban of some visus being issued to certain Muslim countries and other countries that fail to vet their their population properly. And let's just go into the numbers on the polls here. According to the latest poll on deportation, sixty four percent of MAGA says that Trump's deportation approach is just right. Forty seven percent on non of non MAGA. Republicans think the same, with twenty one percent of MAGA and seventeen percent of non MAGA say that it is too aggressive or it is not aggressive enough. 00:05:18 Speaker 4: Apologies. So so here's here's the caution. And I agree with Blake. 00:05:22 Speaker 3: You want commas not drama, right, you want millions of people removed from this country. You want it to be done quietly, you want it to be done efficiently, you want it to be done with no drama. 00:05:34 Speaker 4: This was the problem with Minneapolis. 00:05:36 Speaker 3: And I will I will say you saw this from certain commentators like Joe Rogan, who ended up endorsing President Trump, saying that the immigration approach he thought was cruel, He thought it was cold. He thought some of the memes from DHS were too aggressive, they were too performative. All of those things could be true, but again, keep the drama behind the scenes, get the job done with technical precision, with professionalism, do it without headlines. And that is the key, because we always knew. I want you to take your mind back to Trump one point zero with AOC at the border crying in her all white outfit about kids in cages. Well, the kids in cages were started under Obama as soon as Biden took over, and there was you know, three hundred, three hundred and fifty thousand migrant kids missing in the interior. There was zero tiers for MAOC. We know this is performative. We know that they do this to gin up sobs stories and to turn the population against the president's agenda. My warning is this, there is no single tactic, no single policy plank of the Trump administration that is as popular as deportations as immigration itself. 00:06:46 Speaker 4: The issue is. 00:06:47 Speaker 3: The border got cleared up really quickly, right and we even saw from the fabriziopolling that people don't it doesn't move the needle to talk about a secured border, but it's incredibly important. In the second that border stops being secure, sure it will become a massive issue again. 00:07:02 Speaker 5: And that's more to the point. Is Okay, whether it's popular or not, actually executing on mass deportations, it above all, It matters because it is of existential importance to the countries if you want to see your future. Just yesterday, the United Kingdom has moved to take famous Brits off the money. They're gonna take Winston Churchill off the money, Jane Austin off the money and replace them with nature scenes. And a clear reason they're doing this is they've brought in so much replacement level immigration they basically have to abolish their own history. 00:07:34 Speaker 3: Too. 00:07:35 Speaker 5: Many great Brits are white Christians and that's you know, they're offensive to Muslims who've come to the country to you know, oh, they helped colonize India. They have a lot of Indians in the country. Like it's basically they have to destroy their own legacy. They have to wage war on themselves. And the mass replacement level immigration into America was the less way of waging war on this country. They're bringing in people hostile to American history, American value, American religion, and also people who are going to be a drag on the American state. They're bringing in dependence, they're bringing in, frankly, some of them are essentially parasites on America. And that's all deliberate on their part. They want to bring in people who will immediately go on the dole, who will immediately cause problems, and you need to undo that or it will destroy America. So if you need to say, we're focusing on the worst of the worst, but we're still sending the letters to the businesses that say you're employing people illegally under the table, go for it. They're doing that right now, keep doing it. 00:08:34 Speaker 3: There are ways in which you can message effectively that you can actually prosecute the case effectively. That will be more in terms of total numbers of deportations than doing raids out on the street, right, because what we've learned the learnings are that that becomes a caused azure for the left. The left wing media will spin it up and make it a huge drama, and you'll get karens from all over the country driving to Minneapolis to put themselves in the front lines of a war they know nothing about and don't understand. Go after the businesses, go after the visas, go after the overstays, go after the prisons at the local level, with the blue cities, the Blue states, and you will get commas, not drama. And that is the key. I think Mark Wayne Mullin can achieve that goal. I think you follow the model that Homan has put forward in Minneapolis, where he's getting participation from local jails and prisons, and that is the key. But do not get soft, do not go squish on immigration. It is the one unifying policy of the entirety. 00:09:37 Speaker 4: Of the coalition. 00:09:40 Speaker 3: Before he ever stepped behind a microphone, Charlie understood something important. Leadership begins with learning. He didn't chase a diploma or a title. He chased truth. Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, he studied the great works of the Classics, the principles of the American Founding, and the life changing truths of the Bible. Those ideas didn't just inform him, they shaped his character, strengthened his convictions, and prepared him for the challenges ahead. Of One of the courses he took was The Genesis Story, taught by Hillsdale professor doctor Justin Jackson. This free online course explores the relationship between God and man, what happens when that relationship is broken, and the path toward reconciliation. It's a real college course, rigorous, thoughtful, and accessible to anyone willing to learn. You can take the very same course completely free.

Rarely everybody do you get the trifecta an issue that is popular, an issue that is mandatory to save civilization, and an issue that is necessary to happen urgently. 00:11:05 Speaker 5: And this qualifies all three. 00:11:07 Speaker 6: We'll be right back. 00:11:08 Speaker 5: Mandatory to save civilization. That's in the end why you can't back off. Massage it however, you need to message it however you need to. I think we agree. There was a little bit of it was. There was a lot of triumphalism early and Trump two points. Understandably he won, really he won strongly. You want to be assertive, and I think sometimes that just it rubbed some of those independent voters the wrong way. But in the end, it is mandatory to save America that we not keep these ten million people that Biden let in. 00:11:36 Speaker 3: You cannot break into the country and get off scott free. That's not an option. Sovereignty has to matter. We no exception. They all have to go. How we get there, the message we get there that well, I guess you could say that you could massage that. I think that's a fair word. All right, So why this is important? Okay, So we go to war, We have an excursion, there's a conflict, strikes against ron whatever word you want to use for it. 00:12:03 Speaker 4: And guess what happens. 00:12:04 Speaker 3: We get an Austin nightclub shooting from a Muslim radical Islamist. We get IEDs thrown at anti Muslim protesters in New York City. But everybody, you know, Abbi Phillips, thinks that it was against against Mayor Mom. Donnie, You've got a consulate that gets shot up in Toronto. You so we've now imported a bunch of people that hate us, that don't share our values, and that if they get offended, they're going to turn their weapons on us. That is failed immigration. That is absolutely the reason why we should not be importing people that hate us. Now, you turn our attention to Abbie Phillip and CNN. I watched this actually live. I don't know why I did. It was like the remote got changed and all of a sudden it was on CNN, and I couldn't believe the way they were talking about immigration and Muslim immigration. The starting point for their conversation was you're a bigot if you think there's a problem with Islam. Well, listen, Charlie was very clear about this. We'll maintain it. There's a difference between macro and micro. Yes, there are micro independent instances where you meet very kind Muslims that are very nice and they're very respectful that they're proud to be American. I'm not saying that doesn't exist. But on the macro, when you import millions of Muslims, don't be surprised when a few of them try and kill you. That is the lesson of Western civilization and Muslim immigration. 00:13:33 Speaker 4: And you look at the UK. 00:13:36 Speaker 3: You have people from the United Arab Emirates refusing to fund students abroad to the UK because they might get radicalized and come back to the uae as radical jihadist. That's the problem. And you see this in Melbourne. Melbourne, Australia is now a hotbed of Muslim radicalization. New York City. These kids in at Gracie Mansion were from Pennsylvania living in a two million mansion. It didn't matter. They got radicalized because they were offended. So now, I mean, if you contrast this blake with what happened in World War Two, did we have a bunch of Muslims screaming in the streets upset at our foreign policy? 00:14:13 Speaker 5: Well no, we didn't even really have that many, like yeah, no, just no, it was ninety percent support. 00:14:18 Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's very interesting. 00:14:19 Speaker 3: So now we have to play the clip because there's everybody's talking about it, and she sense apologized for it. This is CNN's Abby Phillip claiming that the attempt at New York City bombing was actually an attack against Mayor Mom Donnie thirteen. 00:14:33 Speaker 7: Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack against New York's Mayor zoron Maum Donnie and the House speaker Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments. 00:14:45 Speaker 3: She repeated this apparently two or three times during the broadcast, and then this morning she was finally forced to correct the record Show one eight. This is her apology. I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd. There's yeah that grammatically it's a poor tweet. Was thrown into a crowd of anti medicine protests. 00:15:07 Speaker 5: Thrown I hate it when bombs just get thrown. 00:15:10 Speaker 3: And not specifically targeted at mayor Mom Donnie. That wording was inaccurate. I didn't catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the air. So the question now has become was she intentionally lying to her audience or was this a I. 00:15:21 Speaker 5: Think someone was. I don't know that. I think people they fixate on the talking head, and really the process is at CNN or CNN is laundering what occurred, which is that, Okay, there was an anti Islamic march and then while people were protesting it and trying to say love is love, let everyone in here. They got the uh, they got a very rude encounter with what the religion of peace often actually is, which is you had people whose parents were welcomed into this country, who clearly had tremendous opportunities because they're able to live in a two million dollar house. This country treated them incredibly well, and their children got radicalized and tried to murder people. 00:16:00 Speaker 3: I tend to think because you worked on Tucker Carlson Show at Fox, so you understood the process from producer getting that transmitting that information to the host Tucker in that case, So the same thing is happening here. But what I actually believe here is this is this is confirmation bias run amuck. So if you show these images, I've got them in the chat here. Look at Axios when they first described this event over the weekend, explosive device thrown outside New York City Mayor Mom Donnie's residence. 00:16:29 Speaker 4: You could see ABC. 00:16:30 Speaker 3: ABC made a bigger deal about Jake Lang, who was the anti Muslim protester in front of the mansion, then they did about the bombs going being thrown. So what happened here was you had a bunch of confirmation bias with the producers that are twenty somethings that didn't check their work. They believed the first story out of the legacy media. Because the legacy media media is loath to point out the obvious that Islamic Americans, in this case Muslims have a terror problem, they didn't want to bring that up, and so she saw the initial reporting, ran with it. Didn't think there was any problem with it. I think it's confirmation bias run them up. And we see this, by the way, with the assassination of Charlie, legacy news media like Jimmy Kimmel went out and said it was Maga who did it? 00:17:15 Speaker 4: Do you know that there's. 00:17:16 Speaker 3: Still only like thirty or forty percent of the American population that understands that it was a left winger who killed Charlie. 00:17:23 Speaker 5: You know, I wish I could entirely blame the left for that one. Well, I wish I could too, But there is an apparatus. There's a machine of media that whitewashes over the sins of the left because they don't want to admit the truth that, yes, you have a political violence problem on the left. Yes, Muslims commit terror and we should be honest about this instead of that. You see this in Canada. 00:17:45 Speaker 3: You have a trans shooter and they call it a what do they call it? 00:17:49 Speaker 4: A person? Like a mashed person, a shooting person? I forget. But the point is they didn't want to admit they were trans. 00:17:57 Speaker 3: Okay, this is a prime problem with the legacy news media is they don't want to admit that their narratives have completely fallen apart. 00:18:05 Speaker 4: And that's what I think happened here. 00:18:07 Speaker 3: I think, Abby Phillips, why blame cunning when incompetence will do. Imagine being a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, not knowing where to go or what to do, not even knowing exactly what is going on in your body, while the whole world tells her it's just a clump of cells. You and I we both know the truth. We know it is a baby. And once she has an ultrasound that you provide and she sees the truth of the baby growing inside of her, you help her choose life when you join us in providing ultrasounds with preborn and she sees her baby, and here's her baby's heartbeat. You will double the likelihood that she will choose life. And one hundred percent of what you give goes to providing ultrasounds one hundred percent preborn. Separately fund raises for administrative costs. Two hundred and eighty dollars can save ten babies, twenty eight dollars a month can save a baby a month all year long. 00:19:01 Speaker 4: And a fifteen thousand dollars gift. 00:19:02 Speaker 3: I know there's some of you out there that can afford this fifteen thousand dollars gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

One of our favorites is Caine over at Citizen Free Press. Kane, welcome back, my friend. We want to thank you. Yeah, we wanted to get your By the way, we have a fancy new phone graphic for you there that we put together. 00:19:44 Speaker 2: How about that? 00:19:45 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well we got a little color there for you. So Caine, I wanted to get your vibe check on the Citizen Free Press, on the CFP nation there about what they're feeling about this around strike. How's it going, how much patience do they have? Are are people freaking out yet? 00:20:07 Speaker 4: Or are we good? 00:20:08 Speaker 2: Yeah? 00:20:08 Speaker 8: Well, you saw probably in the stock yesterday the Quinnipiac poll that showed that eighty five percent of Republicans are supporting President Trump in the military operation. And you probably also saw last week the poll from CBS that I put a couple of headlines up about that showed that this was kind of you know, the approval was sort of a time based approval that if that if the the operation lasted less than plural months, so we can assume that they were you know, most readers were thinking eight weeks. If it lasts less than eight weeks, it was it had a plus fifty two rating was seventy six to twenty four. And then if it lasted longer than eight weeks, in other words, if it became months, it dropped to a minus eight approval. So, uh, now getting to the base at least as it's represented by by you know, my audience at Citizen Free Press. 00:21:02 Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent approval. Man. 00:21:03 Speaker 8: People you know looks as you well know, it's a super involved kind of news junkie website. So the people who were in my open thread, the thousands of people who read it every day, they know everything that's going on. If the President had a quote in the last hour, it's likely in the stack and they know about it. So these people are fully aware that Trump wants to end this war quickly. And you and I were texting last night and then you know, I wake up today and there's that quote from Trump saying, I could you know, most of the targets are gone. 00:21:34 Speaker 2: I can end the war anytime I want. 00:21:36 Speaker 8: So Trump is obviously very very let's just say, he's very aware of how the base feels about forever wars and. 00:21:45 Speaker 2: He wants to end it quickly. 00:21:46 Speaker 8: So so he's got no you know, it's it's completely different. For example, when I link to a tweet or something an ex post and I happen to go over there and I read the replies, like there's a lot of you know, there's a lot of negativity, uh, towards towards the military operation there, and you just don't see it on my site. And again, I think it's because my readers are a bit more mature. They understand that Trump does this, that that he likes to handle his business and finish and uh and and they're giving the president, you know, they trust him, basically, they're giving him the benefit of the doubt. 00:22:19 Speaker 3: So is there any concern though, if President Trump just declares victory when you don't have a regime toppled. Right, we're seeing that. I told his son, who we haven't seen yet because apparently he's been injured in some attack. At least that's the assumption, is there. I mean, could you declare victory without replacing the regime? I mean this for all intents and processes. His wife was killed, his dad was killed, his daughter was killed. I mean, this guy's not going to be friendly to us. 00:22:51 Speaker 2: No, he's not. 00:22:52 Speaker 3: No. 00:22:52 Speaker 8: And I have the same thought regarding all of his family members that it perished. You know, this guy is probably on to a certain extent on a suit side mission. Just to take the job is probably a suicide mission. I mean, Israel hinted pretty aggressively yesterday that they're going to go after him, you know that. 00:23:09 Speaker 2: But to your point about can Trump declare victory. 00:23:12 Speaker 8: When he doesn't have regime change, when he doesn't have complete and you know, and well, look, I don't think it'll stop him. So there's the first thing. I think Trump will still declare victory. Will the people accept that declaration? For the most part, I think they will. I think people understand that regime change is really really sticky and difficult, and that's how you end up in a six month war or a one year or in the case of Iraq, a multi year war. 00:23:38 Speaker 2: Right really get it. 00:23:40 Speaker 8: So a slight little tangent I put in the stack yesterday that Israel was Netanya Who's direct message to the Iranian people talking about how there will be actions coming in the next few days slash weeks that will really set them, will set the people up to take over the. 00:23:57 Speaker 2: You know, to do it themselves. 00:23:59 Speaker 8: So, you know, the long winded answer to your question about whether he can declare victory without regime change, I think the people will forget him. I think, you know, just getting rid of the Ayatola is enough of a headline that I really think that that will give him a positive You know, we'll give Trump some benefit and but yeah, I mean if you ask Democrats, yeah, they're going to point out, you know, if regime change isn't successful, They're going to point that out at every opportunity. So it's not going to be a clear cut argument. But I think that if you ask me whether it's a successful, Look if we destroy how many thousand ballistic missiles and all of their launchers and destroy their manufacturing capabilities for these advanced weapons, I think all of that makes the operation a success. If he wanted to end it today, I would consider it a success. 00:24:49 Speaker 5: Well, the obvious thing that comes to mind is what if Iran says, actually, we're just not We're not freeing up the straight of horror moves until maybe we get concessions from you. A thing I worry about is a lot of people are saying he should declare victory and go home. It is easier to start a conflict than to end one, and you do need to something exit. You need Aron's agreement. They've been shooting missiles at the Gulf States, they're shooting missiles at Israel, They've been shooting missiles at our bases. What if President, what if the president declares victory and they say we're going to keep shooting missiles. 00:25:21 Speaker 8: Then Trump probably says, pulls it. Well, we're not quite done yet. I mean, I would imagine that Israel. Let's talk about Israel first. They've got to have a list of targets that's six weeks long, eight week long, eight weeks long. At least we probably have the same list. I imagine Trump could say, I mean, look the guy, the guy, you know, he jucks and jives, he can he can move. If if if Iran continued to target ships in the strait of our moves, I imagine Trump would would double back down and say, we're going back in for you know, for three days worth of strikes. I don't you know, I don't fully understand the geography there, but I would imagine we started blowing up the ships, right Trump claimed we up ten ships that lay minds yesterday. So what would I would imagine that Trump would just sort of restart it. But it's complicated, Blake, You're absolutely correct. It is not easy to end these things, and so we're all sort of speculating how it's going to go. But I'm just sort of saying that I think Trump has enough positive things in. 00:26:19 Speaker 2: His favor that you know that he could get away. 00:26:22 Speaker 8: With it on a an approval basis if it ended tomorrow or Friday, let's say, and they ask people, I think he'd probably get a sixty forty approval on my operation, maybe sixty five thirty five, and that would include Democrats. 00:26:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're I think you're right. You know, we had Robert Barnes on the show. A lot of people got up in arms about that, but I mean his point was pretty clean cut. He said, you know, the longer this war draws out, the more risk politically that President Trump is going to endure and absorb. 00:26:55 Speaker 4: And I think that that point is fair, right. 00:26:58 Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen that the straying of the coalition is coming mostly with people that we brought into the coalition in twenty twenty four, So new entrance into the coalition. That would be Hispanic voters, that would be African American men, that would be young voters. Those are the those are the parts of the coalition that is fraying the quickest. And so to get in and get out quickly, I think there is political upside there, and you know, and I would just underscore the point with this that President Trump is the best salesman we've seen politically in a generation. I mean, he can sell this to the public, I have no doubt. But yeah, they'll be they'll be a lot of I would say, sniping from the left. But remember this that President Trump. We were critics of the way this effort was sold at the beginning. I think they've done a much better job highlighting the ballistic missile capabilities, highlighting the launchers the Navy, and they can, I think definitively and honestly say, we've had success on those fronts. Let's pack it in. We're gonna if they if they cooperate now, we're gonna go home. 00:27:58 Speaker 4: If they don't, will hit them again. 00:28:00 Speaker 2: I think that's fair. 00:28:01 Speaker 8: I think that's a fair assumption, and I think that's likely to be the outcome, you know, whether it is this week or next week, I think that's essentially the case that we'll make. And look, the first day, the first one was a twelve day war, right, and it surprised everyone when Trump he made that visit over the Kanesse and you know, we brought our bombers in and we bombed, and then and then Trump declared the war was over. I sort of have felt from the beginning that this is a twenty one day war. So twenty one days puts it out a week from this coming Saturday. That gives him ten to eleven more days of twenty four hour sorties to hit as many targets as they can. And then and then, you know, regarding Blake's point, which is likely, I mean, that's really the most likely negative scenario that could occur if we declare, if we declare an end early, which would be they would continue to attack in the straight of our moves, and and so we would have to have a backup plan in place. 00:28:58 Speaker 2: But I really think it's going to ender. 00:29:00 Speaker 8: And you know, and and the other thing is with all of their missile defense degraded, that Israel and and with our having done the heavy work with the with the bunker busters, you know, Israel could probably operate it on their own after twenty one days. 00:29:13 Speaker 2: They could probably decide what targets they want to hit. 00:29:17 Speaker 8: And you know, a slight little aside I would if someone's going to go after the new Supreme Leader, which Israel has claimed they will, you know, I want it to be Israel. I'm fine with the fact that the CIA provided intelligence that that located uh, you know, and for that initial strike ten days ago that located the IATOLA. But I'm and I'm happy for our intelligence to be involved in this next one. 00:29:42 Speaker 2: But I would I would be more comfortable if it were Israel. 00:29:45 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:29:45 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people feel there is a there's it's kind of a distinctual difference. 00:29:49 Speaker 4: But I think you're right. I think a lot of people would agree with you. Kane. 00:29:51 Speaker 3: There's a troubling, potentially article out of Axios that suggests that the White House is going to pivot on messaging. No more to port them all, no more mass deportation talk, We're just getting criminal illegals out. 00:30:06 Speaker 2: Your take, My take is it's all about semantics. 00:30:09 Speaker 1: Right. 00:30:09 Speaker 8: You saw me in the stack a couple of weeks ago when I laid out the numbers of you have to start with how many illegal aliens are actually here? And I'll try to do this quickly in twenty. 00:30:19 Speaker 2: Seconds or so. 00:30:20 Speaker 8: And Colter wrote a piece back ten fifteen years ago where she utilized an analysis that was done by bear Stearns. Bear Stearns is one of the investment banks that failed during the bail of fact. They were the first one and they were taken over by JP Mory. But anyway, bear Stearns did this analysis in two thousand and five where they said and they analyzed state tax receipts and they went through all fifty states and they came up with a number that was close to twenty million. So twenty million illegals in two thousand and five. We know that Biden the official numbers are what seven and a half million came in in his last four years, and then there were godaways. 00:30:54 Speaker 2: So let's just let's be. 00:30:55 Speaker 8: Kind and add call it ten million to the twenty million. So we have at least thirty million illegal aliens in this country, even with self deportation, which DHS said was two point two million last year, in addition to what six hundred they said they physically deported over slightly over six hundred thousand, so the combined number was three million. So let's say that we had that same success for these next three years, where we got three million each year, two point two from self deportation and close to eight hundred thousand from physical deportations. The point is that would only add up to twelve million. There are thirty million here. So I've always objected to this language of deport them all. I don't think it's possible to deport them all, and it kind of frightens people. I think what that Axios article. Now, first thing, I had some doubts about that article because it quoted one guy, right, it was one it was I forget him all of a sudden, But it quoted one source who, having met with the private retreat of House Republicans, told them to change their messaging. 00:32:00 Speaker 2: That's why I said semantics. 00:32:01 Speaker 8: I really think that they're just saying that the phrase mass deportations. 00:32:06 Speaker 2: Isn't uppolling very well anymore. 00:32:08 Speaker 8: It's not a positive phrase that independents are reacting to, right, They're looking forward to the midterms. This is all about how the independents are going to vote in the midterms. 00:32:19 Speaker 2: So it's a phrasing thing. 00:32:20 Speaker 8: I don't think it means that anything has to change about the underlying way that we go about it. And the last point, I'll try to do this in twenty seconds too before I throw it back. It's a complicated thing. We do not see these really ugly scenes in red states. Why because the red state jails and sheriffs are cooperating with us. It's these blue states, these sanctuary states, where we get no cooperation. We don't know when these people are getting out of jail, so we sort of have to go grab them on the streets. So that's sort of why Minnesota happens. So I say, continue to port as many as you possibly clan criminal or quote quote non criminal, even though it's a criminal violation to come into this country illegally. To port as many as you can. Let's try to do three million a year, and I'll be happy. I'll be thrilled if we got rid of ten million illegal aliens at the end of four years. 00:33:14 Speaker 2: Thrilled. 00:33:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, we made this point earlier, Kine. I think there's a couple of things we could do that will actually increase numbers and get more actual deportations with less drama. Number One, Mark Wayne Moullin has proven that he can work across the aisle. He can quell some of the just the knee jerk resistance from Democrats sanctuary cities. 00:33:36 Speaker 4: Get them to cooperate. 00:33:37 Speaker 3: Follow the Tom Homan model in Minneapolis, where you get state and local counties prisons, to cooperate in jails. Yeah, to cooperate when they pull these people over for a traffic stop, whatever, there's a detainer request, get them out. That's how Obama achieved the numbers that he did with you know, not nearly half as much energy devoted to deportations. All right, So that's one, go after the employ lawyers. Then three, you increase the incentive for self deportations. All right, up the number. This is a simple market analysis. When you put a price on something, you'll get this many customers. If you drop the price or you make it more attractive, you'll get more customers. So let's see how we can do this to actually save money. You know, we got all this money that funded the one big beautiful bill funded ice ice addition, ice agents, judges, that sort of thing. Let's see how much we can get just from self deportations. I think that is a truly truly untapped resource yet. I think we've seen some, but there's much more to go. So I'm all for creativity. I think you can actually apply additional pressure pressures. I've heard ideas like going after the international airports. I mean, listen, LA New York. They get a ton of business through international airports. Well, if you're not going to be enforcing immigration law in your local municipalities, your local cities, well then maybe we shouldn't be supporting your international tourists either. You know, I'm just maybe that seems harsh to some people, But there are other levers to pool here to bring these sanctuary cities to heal people. And this is my final warning. I'm monologuing a bit, but this is my final warning. If you do not give the base something to vote for in the mid terms, they will not show up. And midterm elections are base elections. Those are turnout elections. You need your most reliable people generating enthusiasm, generating activity and energy so that people show up to the polls. Final two minutes here, Blake, I don't know if you have a thought on that, but I just think. 00:35:34 Speaker 5: It's so essential for the country to deliver on this. 00:35:38 Speaker 4: Yeah, you make that point again and again, and it's important. 00:35:41 Speaker 5: Like the politics, it's almost like to zoom out. It's you look at the politics and say, make it work. You've got to make it work politically because the thing itself is essential. I mean, it's just like we should view it at least as important as whatever is going on with Iran. You know, you would say, does the base or not so sweet? Does the public really want to bomb Ran? Well, the Poles say pretty ambivalent about it. But if they were close to getting a nuclear bomb, if the threat was of a serious nature, the president just has to do it. He has to do it, and then you sell it because you had to do it. Same thing with deportations. This is an existential threat to the country. You've got to make the people who are here illegally go home, and you sell it however you can. You have to approach it with that attitude. 00:36:29 Speaker 4: Amen. Yeah, final minute to you. 00:36:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, expediency. I like the point. 00:36:34 Speaker 8: You know, you mentioned something about obama deportation numbers, so that triggered something in my head. That's the big mystery, right, we've seen it. How did Obama deport so many? How did Biden deport so many? It turns out there's a fudging of the numbers there, of course, And you can look this up, and I want the audience, if they aren't aware of it, to look it up. What it was is the boredom was wide open with Obama and Biden. Correct, So they had a huge number, a huge pool millions in this case, of fresh people at the border every year that they were able to, many of which whose asylum claims were denied or whatever. They were able to quickly deport those, So that's how their numbers got stacked. That's how Obama was able to deport three, you know, three and a half million. Trump doesn't have the benefit of any of that because the border is effectively shut and any you know, any traveling migrant from Central or South America knows that the border is shut, so they're not showing up, so we. 00:37:30 Speaker 2: Don't have those easy deportations. 00:37:32 Speaker 8: So that's I just thought's a good point that number of pounded me, Like, how. 00:37:36 Speaker 3: The heck deeper in the numbers, Caine. A lot of those were just prison transfers, jail transfers too, So yeah, citizen and morass check it out today, Caine, you're the man. We'll talk to you guys. 00:37:48 Speaker 4: Thanks. Brother. 00:37:51 Speaker 5: The online world moves fast, and it's moving even faster these days. That's why TikTok approaches teen safety with families in mind from the start, because to discovery and creativity are both wonderful things, but it's important to make sure that safety comes first as well. On TikTok, teenagers have over fifty built in protections right from. 00:38:10 Speaker 4: When they join. 00:38:11 Speaker 5: Accounts routines all start private by default, They're not open to the entire world, and for those under sixteen, direct messages are turned off. Only their friends can comment on their videos. And that kind of approach matters because feeling confident and comfortable about these platforms your teenagers are on shouldn't mean digging through a bunch of menus and trying to set everything up yourself and worrying that you got it wrong. TikTok is taking a proactive approach. Their protections are built in from the moment those teenagers join, so that safety and peace of mind for parents is there right from the start. All of this is to say when safety comes first, discovery and creativity can follow without fear. Learn more by going to TikTok dot com slash guardians Guide.

Now, if you don't know who mister Beast is. Then we've got a whole other don't. 00:39:12 Speaker 5: Have any kids under the age of fifteen. 00:39:15 Speaker 3: Mister Beast is wildly popular with young young people on social media YouTube and he now he hosts a game called Beast Games on Amazon Prime Video. 00:39:24 Speaker 5: And we have yes, the Holy whoa. He has four hundred and seventy million YouTube subscribers. 00:39:29 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is big. 00:39:31 Speaker 5: That would be the second largest country or third largest country in the world. 00:39:34 Speaker 4: Yes. 00:39:34 Speaker 3: Or he's very popular, very popular, and one of the contestants on season two. The runner up, in fact, is a gentleman named Corey Simms, and we have him on the show. Now, Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. 00:39:45 Speaker 9: Corey, Thank you so much. It's truly an honor and I'm blessing to be on your show. I truly am so grateful. 00:39:51 Speaker 4: Thank you awesome. 00:39:52 Speaker 3: Well, you can already the audience could probably already hear why you've been invited on the show just by your tone and you so, you are a Navy veteran and you you competed for forty two days in this high stakes reality competition hosted by mister Beast. You really caught people's attention not only because you were the runner up. Apparently it was. I didn't see the finale, but apparently it was. Could have gone either way for five million dollars. But you caught people's attention because you the way you conducted yourself on the show. You were respectful, you prayed, you you didn't backstab. Apparently, explain the show for the audience and how you conducted yourself. 00:40:33 Speaker 4: Why you chose to conduct yourself that way? 00:40:36 Speaker 9: Absolutely, So that's a great question. So these games is a really interesting social experiment, so to speak. It's kind of put you up against people. You're obviously competing to win, you know, five million dollars. So you either get the option and the choice to be a hero and do the right thing, or most likely, which most people end up doing is unfortunately the money gets in their face and they turned the villain. Unfortunately me, I played the game exactly how I live my life, you know, with integrity, with honesty, and most important, just always knowing that God is watching me and everything that I do, so I always, I always try to do the right thing, no matter what. 00:41:15 Speaker 3: Well, I think you're a guy that that Charlie would have really appreciated, and I know, yeah, I know that that you might you probably have some thoughts about Charlie at his legacy, But but talk about this point about five million dollars and what that did to people. We live in a time of social media influencers that are chasing clicks. Seems like, you know, principles and values, their faith seems to go out the window the second there is money to be had. You were looking at five million dollars, you got to the final two. Explain what that dynamic is like, right of being, you know, in front of five million dollars, having a chance to get it, having the temptation to be conniving backstaff, what is the point like, explain the game a little bit and then that temptation of the money. 00:42:05 Speaker 9: Absolutely. First, I just want to say I was heartbroken what happened to Charlie. Truly truly tears in my eyes set and that was just a horrible thing to happen. And Beast games back to your question about Beast games, it was more like it's just one of moost competitions where you know, people get the option to either lie to each other be honest with each other. And me, I just played the game with all the integrity. I could just trying to be doing the right things, saying the right things, so to speak. And by the grace of God, and only by the grace of God, I made it all the way to the end. The final challenge, it was me against Tyler, and it was just one of those weird challenges where it was based on chance. Unfortunately, if it would have been more physical or mental, it might have been a little bit something different. But it was based on you know, chance and kind of like bluffing, lying and stuff like that, which obviously I'm not good at. That's why I just kind of started spinning the suitcases around is I don't want to see if I was lying or not, obviously, So it was one of those. 00:43:03 Speaker 4: Things interesting, all right. 00:43:05 Speaker 3: So we have a clip from you after after you lost, came came second best. Uh, but again it was a game of chance. Here's at seventeen. 00:43:16 Speaker 6: It still was one of the best experiences ever. Man. Awesome, I think. 00:43:24 Speaker 7: I appreciate it. 00:43:26 Speaker 2: And when I met your wife and your boys. 00:43:29 Speaker 6: Come on, man, that was awesome. 00:43:32 Speaker 9: No, no, you're gonna make it so proud. 00:43:38 Speaker 5: I've got so much. 00:43:46 Speaker 9: I'm really happy for Tyler. If somebody could have wanted other than me. I'm happy that every sin and I'm gonna love the Lord in the good times and the bad times. 00:43:56 Speaker 1: Corey, I've officially been eliminated, and it hurts. 00:44:08 Speaker 4: Very dramatic. 00:44:08 Speaker 5: I mean, how long was that drop? 00:44:10 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's probably probably twenty feet maybe not too far. 00:44:15 Speaker 4: Wow. 00:44:15 Speaker 3: I mean so again for those in the audience that maybe weren't aware of the show or it didn't follow it, this is a. 00:44:22 Speaker 4: Really big deal. 00:44:23 Speaker 3: You have now come out with a book, and I love the title What five million Can't Buy's image one eight four? You came out with that. How has your life changed? What did you learn? What I mean, I'm assuming you've got a whole big new social media following, and what are your plans and what do you want to do with that? 00:44:41 Speaker 9: Absolutely so, first and foremost, I always want to shine God's amazing light on everybody. That's my mission of life. And I wrote the book. It was completely inspired by God. One morning I woke up after I came back from Beast Games, and I was laying in bed and he put it in my spirit. He said to write a book. So of course I want to be obedient. I'm gonna listen to whatever he tells me to do. So I just started writing, and honestly, the whole writing process, you know, reflecting on everything that happened, the emotions and everything, it really helped me even draw closer to God. Do that entire thing. It was just amazing. It was truly remarkable, and now I just I want to go out. My whole platform is just to shine his amazing light and help people, inspire people, inspire people with their faith, their their character, their integrity, and just help people as much as I can. 00:45:28 Speaker 5: I guess probably feel that questions like this, but obviously a lot of people who are on these videos this platform like they become fan favorites, they become notable in their own right, and they're often requested to come back and follow up videos. Is there any chance of that sort of thing happening. 00:45:46 Speaker 9: A lot of people have been messaging with me saying, I'm sure mister b So bringing you back to one his challenges and stuff, And I guess we'll have to wait and see whatever Everything's according to God's plan. So whatever he has planned for me, I'm more than happy to do it. 00:45:59 Speaker 4: Well. 00:46:00 Speaker 3: I know that mister Beace has a huge fole with young people, and you now have a platform in some ways not too dissimilar from Charlie, you know, to reach the next generation. Final minute here, Corey, your what's your message to them? What resonates with them? What are they asking you? 00:46:20 Speaker 4: One minute? 00:46:21 Speaker 9: Absolutely, So my main thing is just to inspire hope with people. And the most important thing I could tell anybody, especially kids, a young young gen z always trusting God. Always have faith in God, always trust his timing, and always know that He is working behind the scenes, always for your good. 00:46:42 Speaker 3: Amen, Corey, congratulations on winning seventeen thousand dollars. 00:46:48 Speaker 5: Thank you A bit of a gap, yeah, very harsh like that. 00:46:52 Speaker 4: Seventeen thousand small gap. Small gap. But you know, God, God will is faithful. 00:46:59 Speaker 3: You're right, and we've certainly seen that in our own ways, despite you know, things not working out the way we wanted them to either. So God bless you, and I will pray for you that you your fruit would be great, and that your mission would or your ministry would be great, and that God's name would be made great to you. 00:47:16 Speaker 4: God bless you, man We'll see you around. 00:47:18 Speaker 9: How bless you guys, Thank you so much, Thanks, thank. 00:47:20 Speaker 4: You that's a fun one. 00:47:23 Speaker 5: It's I just love how like he has his fifty three thousand followers on Instagram. I know it's some of that is for those who do not follow the Beast. It's like anyone who's just on his videos. Can people become famous because they're any one random video? 00:47:39 Speaker 4: If he has that kind of power, Yeah, it's right, Hi, folks. 00:47:44 Speaker 3: Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you about my friends over at why Refi.

Just go to yrefi dot com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. All right, So the news this morning just broke that Howard Schultz, the former CEO and founder of Starbucks, announce it he and his wife Sherry are relocating from Seattle, Washington, Commie Washington, where they've lived for forty four years, and they're moving to where. 00:49:00 Speaker 5: Make a guess, Yeah, they all moved to Florida. 00:49:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, they enter their retirement phase. 00:49:05 Speaker 5: Okay, So I mean, so it's just very funny here. Like the timing is almost perfect because Washington, despite being a blue state, it was one of the handful of states with no state income tax, very very notoriously. I believe people in South Washington, they would live in Washington, pay no income tax, and they would drive and do their shopping in Oregon, which has no yeah, no sales tax. And there it's a blue state. You kind of just have to pass an income tax or you're not properly progressive anymore. Yeah, you and so get kicked out of the club if you do. 00:49:39 Speaker 4: So. 00:49:39 Speaker 5: Washington is just is now enacting a state income tax. One of their lawmakers was assuring people that, you know, rich people are not going to leave. It's not that's not going to happen. And lo and behold today Howard Schultz announces he is relocating to Florida almost certainly to escape the burden of that it. 00:49:59 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's nine point nine percent tax on income over a million dollars, so it's ten percent tax is a legit. 00:50:05 Speaker 4: That's a big tax to put on. 00:50:07 Speaker 3: So he has this statement here he says, you know, he talks about how nineteen seventy nine they drove across the country. Now they're retriever. Yeah, start a new job place called Starbucks. Back then the Pike placed Starbucks only sold what hole being coffee. Today it's the most visited Starbucks in the world. So they talk about growing it and the Schultz Family Foundation critical work to help others in the community. But the reaction online has been nothing. 00:50:37 Speaker 4: Let's just say subtle. 00:50:39 Speaker 3: You've got Mike Cernovich saying this he's scum that he has been got. He went all in on the woke in the riots, and that this guy's gonna go to Florida and that all these rhinos are gonna cozy up to him because he's got money and we need to stop bowing before bail. Pretty intense commentary for him. What does Rufo say? 00:50:56 Speaker 5: Well, I think Chris Rufo has a very adroit take, because it's one over and over. Howard Schultz spent decades virtue signaling for every new demand of progressivism, and now he's leaving the rest of us. Chris Ruffo lives in Washington. Of course he's leaving the rest of us to deal with the consequences. A truly dishonorable end to his tenure as a Washingtonian. And that really is worth emphasizing that Seattle was one of the nicest cities in America. It was an iconic city in America. Got it was kind of the city of the nineties. We got all that grunge music out of Seattle. And now I feel like Seattle's probably most notorious for being the city that had chopped and the city that has a ton of homeless people and basically became ungovernable. 00:51:42 Speaker 3: It well, and they're just getting more and more radical. They have essentially a communist mayor, I call communists, she says, she's a socialist. They've got fraud out the huge. 00:51:51 Speaker 5: Amounts of fraud they were. I mean they were a tech hub of the United States. They still have it. I mean Microsoft is up there, Amazon, but are Boeing the Yeah, yeah, they're the state of the of Boeing Boweing went downhill. They're the state of Amazon. They're the state of Microsoft. But you don't hear about new tech stuff coming out of Seattle nearly as much. It's not the city it once was. And that's substantially because progressivism has a way of ruining the things that are driving prosperity in America. 00:52:18 Speaker 3: The prosperity comes, they get progressive, they kill future prosperity. 00:52:22 Speaker 4: It's a pretty common so. 00:52:24 Speaker 3: And by the way, if you are a major tech company like Microsoft, you can afford the regulatory burdens, the tax burdens. But if you're a startup, they kill you in the crib. You can't get off the ground anymore. So well done Howard Schultz for helping contribute to create the problem that has mired Seattle in a malaise of its own making, and then fleeing for the sun of your shores and you're forty four million dollar penthouse that you have just purchased in Miaena. 00:52:53 Speaker 5: And a bonus warning, which is in addition Starbucks, is they're not moving their HQ, They're just building a bonus HQ of so in Nashville. So we've got the billionaire moving to Florida. We have the major corporation massively expanding in a red state. We've seen that happen over and over because the red states are more business friendly, the red states have lower taxes. We have to make sure we do not fall for this. Do not allow Starbucks to lobby for a bunch of blue nonsense in Tennessee. Do not allow your new billionaire arrival to abruptly campaign for all the things that ruined the state he just abandoned, because they will do both of those things exactly well. 00:53:30 Speaker 4: And by the way, this is what bothers me. 00:53:32 Speaker 3: When you see like Hewlett Packard moving to Dallas or whatever, Texas, maybe it was Austin. They're going to bring all their woke ideologies. You have to I mean, I'm crazy on this. I would completely say, hey, if you want to relocate to a new state, you don't get to vote for five years, maybe ten. 00:53:48 Speaker 4: I think those ideas. 00:53:49 Speaker 5: It is of existential importance, arguably for the entire planet, that we not allow the Red States of America to be ruined, because they're basically the only engines of continue innovation and prosperity. Arguably in the Western world. Europe is stagnant. Red state Handada's committing suicide. 00:54:06 Speaker 3: Literally, Red states are literally the last firewall for freedom in the West. 00:54:10 Speaker 5: I have a friend in Austin and he says, the most important thing is that Texas remained Republican. Now Texas stops being Republican, it's over. 00:54:16 Speaker 3: We have one little quick story from another Red state, Erica. Kirk is in Arkansas. We are announced a new partnership with the state of Arkansas for Club America chapters to be working like we've done with some of the other states. And she actually spoke at a high school here, another red state down. 00:54:31 Speaker 4: Only a few more to go. 00:54:35 Speaker 3: For a lot of Americans, the healthcare system is reactive. You get sick first, and then you wait for an appointment, Then insurance decides what you're allowed to have, and suddenly the medication you need is delayed or it's not available.

You're already prepared. 00:55:07 Speaker 1: You do not need insurance, you don't need to beg a doctor, just simple, fast, honest care.

I mean, it seems like the war is being executed extraordinarily efficiently and well. 00:56:14 Speaker 4: Progress is obviously there. 00:56:15 Speaker 3: We've destabilized that the military apparatus, their naval fleet, everything is destroyed in that sense. Still some more work to do, but the politics of it is still in question. Place Hot nineteen and. 00:56:27 Speaker 10: Now I took a look at all the polling average it all together, and we have now reached the year mark. We have now reached the year mark in which he has a negative net approval rating. So we have been talking about this for a long period of time. According to Maya average of polls, what we've been looking at is every day since March twelfth, twenty twenty five, President Trump has been underwater, and we've been counting up the days. We've shown this slide a number of times, and we have now reached the point in which Trump has been swimming with the fishes for a year. 00:56:58 Speaker 4: He's underwater. 00:56:59 Speaker 3: There is a little bit of bleed on some of the coalition with the Iran strikes. 00:57:04 Speaker 4: What do you make of it? 00:57:05 Speaker 11: Yeah, first of all, gentlemen, always nice to see you. I always miss it when I'm away. It has been too long. But when we were on together right after the initial raid on Iran, Rich was on with us, and he was saying, the flat out, this is going to be unpopular, and I don't think anyone was going to deny that. It's because even if Trump draws it inside straight and does a great job dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities, it's just there's not that many constituents that wanted to see. 00:57:27 Speaker 6: A warplay out. 00:57:28 Speaker 11: And it does create a lot of complications economically when people want us to focus at home and on things like affordability, and it's going to drive prices up, It's going to drive gas prices up, and it brings up other issues like we haven't fully restocked our strategic oil reserves, which bidened rain for his political purposes. And so there's a lot of complicated downstream effects. And I do think one thing the administration could do a little better is to point out the nuclear threat of Iran, and I think we just kind of acted like that was over. And I think that was a big mistake, is that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon. They were the most likely to get it of anyone in the world who wants it. And if they did get it, they've been calling us the Great Satan forever. If they did that, then of course they would want to use it. But also creates all these complications, like all these other countries who don't have nuclear weapons would say, well, if Ron's got one, we got to go get one, and it could really put us on the brink of armageddon. And this never came up. I don't know why this never came up, that we didn't point out that this was a real threat. Of all the fake threats we hear about, we never heard about this real one. And so it just puts the president politically behind the eight ball. But he assumes in a couple months time he'll have won, He'll declared victory. Remember they've got a cardboard cutout leading their country right now, which is sort of hilarious. He's like the YETI or the Chupacabra. We've never seen him before. No one knows where he is. He doesn't give speeches, he doesn't give interviews. And so if Trump can declare victory and then come home quickly, he could still net out in the end. 00:58:50 Speaker 6: But it's a tough political proposition. It just is. 00:58:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, And apparently we haven't seen him because he was injured in an Israeli bomb strike missile strike. We're not exactly sure where this guy is or in what condition he's in. But you know, I heard somebody referred to him as the Hunter Biden of Iran. 00:59:09 Speaker 4: Which I thought was funny. I mean, so, yeah, and here's here's my take on it. 00:59:13 Speaker 3: It's no secret we have been a little bit reticent about going to war. Charlie was reticent about regime change. We share those concerns. But once the president hits go, we've got his back. We're gonna get We're gonna trust him to make these tough decisions. And I do agree with you, Alex, there is a story to tell Blake. Blake has framed it this way that it could be the last Middle East conflict that we have to wage right if it's conducted the right way. And I think that geopolitically, you see how this could really put the screws to China and the CCP. You could see how this could help us from a geopolitical strategic standpoint. You could see how what we did in Venezuela, taking ahead of the snake there, could end up bringing Cuba back into the into good stead. 00:59:55 Speaker 4: With the United States. 00:59:56 Speaker 3: All of these things could be really powerful and could pay dividends for generations. The concern, though, is short term, right, and so I want to bring up this this graphic. 01:00:05 Speaker 4: Here we do it. 01:00:07 Speaker 3: We do have a picture of the cardboard cutout, but I don't know what what status are our computer is in right now. 01:00:13 Speaker 4: We had a little bit of oh there it is. 01:00:14 Speaker 6: This is my blowing. 01:00:15 Speaker 11: I mean, how can this be real? Is that what they're praying to? They're praying to a false idol. 01:00:19 Speaker 3: Now it's very very weird. 01:00:22 Speaker 5: On golden calf was made of gold. 01:00:26 Speaker 3: He doesn't want to poke his head out of hiding because it does seem. 01:00:29 Speaker 6: Like kissing it. 01:00:32 Speaker 11: They kiss the cardboard cutout of a guy. No one knows this guy is. He's a ghost, he doesn't exist, And say that James Carville's out there saying oh, he's a big threat, he's even more radical. It's like, we don't know anything about that. He doesn't do interviews. Carvil's not up on his podcast. This I told is that, you know, he's not out there creating content for people. 01:00:50 Speaker 6: He's just behind the scenes if he even exists at all. 01:00:52 Speaker 4: Totally. 01:00:53 Speaker 3: I think it's the whole thing's bizarre. But what else is new from the Irani regime. Let's go ahead and show image one eighty seven. All right, so this is a pulled survey data strengthened numbers Veresyite polls, and they've conducted it from May of twenty twenty five through February of twenty twenty six. And this is a graph of among Trump supporters. Okay, so every bar you're seeing here is a Trump supporter, like a cohort with over sixty five family income, over one hundred thousand, white, college, white non college And if you look down at the bottom, the groups that he's losing support most with are going to be AAPI so Pacific Islanders, yeah, and Asians. Hispanics eighteen to twenty nine year olds make under fifty thousand dollars, thirty to forty four year olds and blacks. These are Trump voters that he's bleeding support with. It does seem like these would be the people that we brought into the coalition most recently. 01:01:52 Speaker 5: It's the marginal members of the coalition. 01:01:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, they were in wet cement. 01:01:56 Speaker 3: So let's play this out the next coming weeks months ahead. What do we do to shore up the base, get enthusiasm back up, and bring these people back into the fold. 01:02:08 Speaker 6: Okay, first of all, this is a great question. 01:02:10 Speaker 11: First of all, you've got to do what I've said, which is we've got to go back and make the. 01:02:13 Speaker 6: Case we really were there was a. 01:02:15 Speaker 11: Legitimate nuclear threat that Iran posed and they were relentless. Trump should also remind people that one year ago he wrote iron a letter that said no more nuclear development, no more funding of terrorist proxies in the region, no more pursuitabilistic missiles and around it, all three of those things, and our presence word has to mean something. The next thing is that we need to after we've made that case that there was legitimate pretext for it, then we need to declare victory and go home, put the mission accomplished, banner up and come back and say we did it. 01:02:44 Speaker 6: We flipped it. 01:02:45 Speaker 11: We're not sticking around with regime change, ground troops and whatever is going to be there is going to do better. And then we need to start working on affordability. We need to make sure the straight of war moves is open. They're stopping all these tankers that could be getting the oil to the West now, but who's still gives their oil? Russia and China, they're still getting their oil. That's of course in bad luck. Trump's aware of this. I guarantee you he's thinking about it right now as we're having this conversation. That's got to stop and it's got to never return. And then he needs to go out and make the case we did make peace in the midd Least. It's over. This was a war we didn't start. It was starting against us O almost half a century ago. It's the last Middleast war. I loved that framing from Blake. And now it's over and then hopefully the prosperity starts happening. 01:03:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm reminded back to the campaign days when you would see you know, I remember there was a local news reporter here in Phoenix, but I think it ended up going national and it was, you know, a Hispanic voter, and their case for voting for Trump was very simple. Under Trump, there was more money in my wallet. There was just more prosperity. It is almost as simple as that. And I don't know that economically we've gotten to that point yet. I don't know that we've made the case yet. Trump is out in Kentucky. I think he's gonna be campaigning against Thomas Massey, but he's also gonna be talking about Trump RX. I mean, you gotta let Trump be Trump. That's that's my thing. You gotta let Trump be Trump. But listen, Trump our X, these populist conservative wins, banning stock trading, getting the Save America Act pass these we need to get some wins on the board. And that's the warning to Congress right now. Thune I don't even know what to do with. Thune I got so frustrated. Thune I literally tweeted a video of him with just gobblygook letters because it was like, we don't have the votes. Be a leader, go get the votes. You know, this is your job to go figure out and find a way. Zero urgency, zero respect for what the base is asking for. And if you do that over and over and over again. You're gonna bleed support. You're gonna bleed enthusiasm from your most your your your most enthusiastic supporters. 01:04:44 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. 01:04:45 Speaker 11: So we gotta keep the enthusiastic people high energy and the new members of the coalition that they really liked that Trump was making things, they were thinking about their bottom line and not getting us into wars. 01:04:55 Speaker 6: So can we undo this soon? I think so. 01:04:57 Speaker 11: I think Trump's keenly aware of this. We know gash prices always go up in the summer. Anyway, we're waiting for a lot of those big beata for bill tax cut, the what's the season that we're talking about, whe everyone's can get their tax rebates back all that. We got to let that happen. We got to let it play out. 01:05:13 Speaker 6: But there is some urgency here. We do have an element of a ticking clock. 01:05:16 Speaker 3: We yes, I mean, and Charlie would say this all the time. We have two roads ahead of us. We've got mom Donniism or we've got MAGA and voters are gonna be making up their mind in the next couple of if they haven't already made up their mind. It's got to get them back. I want to get your thoughts here, Alex. The CNN debacle, Abby Philip saying that you know they were actually just attacking mayor Mom Donnie's house. They wanted to attack the first Muslim mayor. 01:05:45 Speaker 4: Which makes absolutely zero sense. 01:05:47 Speaker 3: She repeated it multiple times, then corrected it. Was this an innocent mistake or was this gas lighting and lying from the legacy media. 01:05:56 Speaker 6: I mean, it's hard to know. 01:05:58 Speaker 11: I mean, I just can't believe there always giving ISIS the benefit of the doubt. 01:06:01 Speaker 6: There was this meme that a lot of people are going to remember. 01:06:04 Speaker 11: That I think may have originated with my writer John Nolty, but a lot of people have echoed it, which is that CNN is ISIS and it was always sort of a troll, but now they're defending ISIS and they're saying ISIS is coming after the mayor of New York and they're not. They're coming after guys who are against radical Islam, which is you're allowed to protest off in this country and not of CNN just continue to lie about you. But they can't stop doing it is non stop. They were defending him, and then Abby Phillip goes right out on her show and says that it was actually attack on Mom Donnie and that tweet that they deleted where they act as though these guys were coincidentally in New York and spontaneously decided they'd put out a nail bomb and try to incinerate civilians. It's just crazy stuff that this is allowed. And I can't help but think Netflix almost bought them. And the only reason why Netflix wasn't able to take them over is because they refuse to drop Susan Rice from their board, who is only there for purely political per says, to get Obamaism into our entertainment. So our media continues to be a huge disgrace and thankfully the people mostly see through it. 01:07:07 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:07:08 Speaker 3: Well, and then a news story out of CBS confirms what Nick Shirley already told us. 01:07:13 Speaker 5: It's Nick Shirley and also the Trump administration. Doctor Oz went he did a video in Los Angeles and he says, you know, I'm here in LA there's a bunch of hospices. I think he went to Van Nuys in the valley and he basically, I don't know if I said that right, but you said it. And then he's like, there's five hundred hospices and you know, four block radius or something, and a bunch of them are fraudulent. Governor Gavin Newsom said he was being racist and filed a civil rights complaint, said we needed to investigate doctor Oz for this. CBS News goes and they go to the exact same location and they say, oh, there's ninety hospices in one building. Seventy of them have multiple red flags for fraud. Overall, I think about more than half of the hospices in Sopal had red flags for food. It's all real. Same thing we heard the autism centers that was a big part of the Minnesota fraud. Wall Street Journal just went and looked at a bunch of medicaid data that was published and they said they found one in Indiana. It was a piece by piece. Autism Centers collected twenty nine million dollars in medicaid billing for eighty four patients in one year. That is three hundred and forty thousand dollars per child in one year. 01:08:22 Speaker 4: Think about how many taxpayers that is just for one. 01:08:25 Speaker 5: That's basically your entire lifetime of taxes if you're an average American, was spent to provide one year of autism care to one kid from the center. 01:08:33 Speaker 4: In Indiana, and so just so people understand how it works. 01:08:36 Speaker 3: Medicare is, of course federally administered, but hospices must be licensed by the state, So it's up to the state of California in this instance to issue the licenses. You know something about California fraud there, Alex, you went to Berkeley, You started with Breitbart out of Los Angeles. So the point is you now have CBS covering this. Are we seeing a changing of the guard or is this you know, we just got lucky ones. 01:09:04 Speaker 6: It's hard to know. 01:09:05 Speaker 11: I think the stuff has been going on at CBS has clearly been a slight improvement over what was there previously. But I've got a lot of nuances that I'm seeing that are not encouraging me completely that we're going to ever see a complete balance over there. But I'm rooting for it, obviously, because I'd like an informed public. But the thing that's so noteworthy about this particular case, as well as what Nick Shirley found in Minneapolis, is a lot of these blue areas, of which one of which I live in, in California, there's actually a disincentive to solve problems, because to solve a problem, like a lot of taxpayer money is getting funded to fake hospices or fake leering centers, or there's actually a way to fix the airport, or fix the traffic, or fix the homelessness, or fix the fire prevention. All of that actually is kind of a dunk on your predecessors who are in your same party, and so there actually is disincentive to try to solve problems in deep blue areas because all that does is show that the people who are in charge before four, who probably endorse you and are probably your friends, it will probably help you get donors that they all failed in their tasks. So the Democrats have proven they're willing to elect people with no records or horrible records, so they're basically content to go along and just have this manage the climb where blue areas in this country just get more crime written, more expensive, less pleasant to live in, but the people in power get to keep their jobs and they get you know, podcasts invites from left wing influencers, and they're very happy with this. We can't relate to this. It's very strange to us, but it is very real in the state. 01:10:31 Speaker 3: Well, and you see this in Minneapolis as well, where you import a whole group of voters and you're gonna let them get away with the fraud because guess what, they'll vote and block for your party. And this is what they're in California as well. In order to dig out from any of this stuff, you have to offend huge voter blocks because you have to call spade a spade. Listen, we have a bunch of immigrant crime. They come and they do organized crime, and they run the system and they fleece. 01:10:55 Speaker 5: And I'll tell you, is there a bunch of immigrant crime. You have to confront the reality, which is it's a lot easier to organize a big fraud ring if you have ethnic affinities with people. A lot of fraud is ethnic affinity fraud, period. It is just everyone who's observed it and investigated it knows this, and you have to be able to say it and prosecute it. And they're terrified of doing this, and I think it's a huge opportunity for the administration. He again gave the role to Vice President Advance at the State of the Union. I think if they were to find the right way to highlight these fraud rings, dramatically, break them up, dramatically indict people, get some deportations, maybe even denaturalize and deport some people who are involved in this. That is a win that the administration can tout. And it's mostly beating up on Blue states because they enable it the most. 01:11:43 Speaker 11: We need a Doge like initiative where we go around and we please them this fraud. It's very easy, and we've seen it from both political parties. Democrats are more efficient at this. But how it works is that you get all this government money allocated towards businesses that are sort of private businesses, but they're not. They're just purely fund governments. There's sort of NGOs or ngo lights, and that's where all the fraud takes place. And that's how these people get loaded up with millions of dollars. It all becomes revolving door and you see, you know, Gavin Newsom's wife is going around, she's bagging all this cash. He's paying herself millions of dollars out of a charity that's basically about transing the kids. It should be a front page scandal for everyone, but it's a We're so used to it now We're getting numb to the scandals. We're getting numb to all the scandals, and that's very dangerous because then people are just gonna tune out. 01:12:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a really fair point. It's a fair warning. Actually. I mean, when you think about what happened with Nick Shirley with the Minneapolis fraud ring the leering centers, that was a huge, huge story. It broke containment, it became a national news story, and then it got bogged down with Renee Good and Alex pretty when we send in the surge into Minneapolis. That was a winning issue though, And if jd Vance wants to contribute in which I know he does, to winning the midterms and winning in twenty eight, then hitting this hard and really putting some wins on the board will go a long way for that domestic policy agenda that we want to see more of. Alex Marlowe check him out, that editor in chief of Breitbart, host the Alex marlow Show. 01:13:10 Speaker 4: Thank you, my friends, good to see you again. 01:13:12 Speaker 6: Thanks guys, you soon man. 01:13:13 Speaker 5: Would I would just love it if hire one thousand new federal prosecutors, go find right wingers out of law school and just launch them like nukes just destroy fraud. If you blow up one twenty million dollar fraud, you've paid for that lawyer's entire career. 01:13:25 Speaker 11: Amen For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com
