Mayor Brandon Johnson is fighting Trump's deportation efforts. Will he get caught up in the crosshairs of the federal government? Will he be targeted by Tom Homan and the ICE agents tasked with deporting illegal immigrants? Or will he be protected by his own police department?
00:00:36.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:43.000Chicago is facing nearly a billion-dollar shortfall.
00:01:45.000They've spent nearly half a billion on illegals.
00:01:48.000And Chicago Marxist Mayor Brandon Johnson is digging in his heels to fight Trump's deportation efforts.
00:01:55.000Now, obviously, clowns like Mayor Johnson just faced a major legal setback after the Ninth Circuit rules that the feds can overrule local officials and deport illegals.
00:02:04.000But Brandon Johnson has other more glaring issues and crises.
00:02:08.000What have you uncovered, William J. Kelly?
00:02:26.000But it breaks my heart to see what's happening in Chicago, and that's why I have been investigating these incompetent and corrupt politicians.
00:02:35.000They're destroying Chicago, and they have been for years.
00:02:42.000But this migrant crisis has really been the straw that has broken, I believe, Chicago's back and budget, by the way.
00:02:51.000And the people of Chicago have woken up to this.
00:02:57.000I hear it all the time from people who say that they don't want Brandon Johnson raising their taxes, by the way, to pay for his Permanent migrant resettlement.
00:03:10.000This is his priority for his administration, Charlie.
00:03:14.000And I believe that Chicago should be made the example of the Trump and the Tom Homan border security deportation plan.
00:03:29.000As you correctly mentioned, even the mayor of New York is saying that he has finally come to realize that these illegal migrants, call them what you want, are not only bankrupting cities, but terrorizing the citizens.
00:03:47.000And our mayor, Bernie Johnson, says, and by the way, our governor, J.B. Pritzker, who has presidential ambitions to run for president of the United States four years from now, say that they are going to stand in the way of Trump and Holman, Charlie. say that they are going to stand in the way It's just remarkable to me.
00:04:43.000200 sworn Chicago police officers protecting him and his wife, Stacey, by the way, who just remodeled an office for herself at the Chicago Cultural Center.
00:04:58.000They don't know what she's doing there, but they're spending taxpayer money hand over fist.
00:05:04.000I called out his $300 million property tax increase as a migrant tax.
00:05:11.000Because that's to the penny what he wants, what he has already spent on migrants.
00:05:16.000And it really was a catalyst for Chicagoans to go to City Hall to protest this.
00:05:25.000And he was forced to back off his property tax.
00:05:28.000But now, get this, Charlie, he wants to raise liquor tax, which is really just a tax on the working man to pay for his migrant camp, his migrant dreams, his migrant ambitions.
00:05:38.000He thinks that he's going to be a hero.
00:05:41.000And by the way, so does J.B. Pritzker, who somehow...
00:05:44.000Keeps getting forgotten in this conversation.
00:05:47.000I think that this recent Supreme Court decision has now made it pretty clear that the feds can come to sanctuary cities like Chicago and sanctuary states like Illinois, by the way.
00:06:01.000And that's a very important caveat that we can discuss.
00:06:06.000Today or tomorrow or another time if you want.
00:06:08.000But the fact of the matter is it's a federal crime.
00:06:11.000And I think that Tom Holman should definitely kick in some doors and take out some violent repeat offenders.
00:06:29.000They're in a neighborhood called Gage Park in Section 8 housing, and they shot the place up.
00:06:37.000It was alleged that they were using it as a house of prostitution, people coming in and out all hours of the night, blaring music.
00:06:44.000And sure enough, surprise, they shot the place up.
00:06:49.000Eight people shot, three fatalities as of now.
00:06:52.000And, you know, we need Trump and Holman to make an example of Chicago.
00:06:57.000I believe that they could very easily kick in the door, take out some very violent repeat offenders.
00:07:03.000But, Charlie, if you can help, if you can do this, I don't know who can do this.
00:07:08.000If you can help us get Congress in the new administration to do a federal herring into the spending, I believe that the feds might kick in a few doors of some very corrupt politicians.
00:07:28.000You also have some reporting on a sex scandal and the subsequent cover-up.
00:07:33.000Well, you know, as we've learned from journalism class over and over and over again, sometimes the cover-up is worse than the crime, right?
00:07:41.000I've been treated to listening to Mayor Johnson call President Trump a racist, a sexist.
00:07:55.000He said that this deportation reminds him of gas chambers and, you know, just the plan to deport.
00:08:03.000Violent repeat offenders, not to mention, you know, and yet his Best friend, his press secretary, a guy named Ronnie Reese, was fired for...
00:08:21.000Allegations, again, of racism, anti-Semitism, and of sexual misconduct.
00:08:31.000There were numerous sexual misconduct claims against him, and he was fired.
00:08:36.000So I asked the mayor, I've attempted to ask him this and many other things, and if you look at At William J. Kelly on X, you'll see the often humorous attempts that I've made that I've asked him, what did you know?
00:08:56.000And he claims that he didn't know anything about it.
00:08:59.000Well, you know, my question to him is, As early as recently as yesterday, is if it turns out that you lied to the people of Chicago, and you did know about this, these real, you know, allegations, disturbing allegations against your best friend, Ronnie Reese, who was fired, okay?
00:10:46.000What does the future hold for business?
00:10:47.000Ask nine experts, you'll get all sorts of different answers.
00:10:50.000In fact, you might get ten answers if you ask nine experts.
00:10:52.000They'll say a bull market, a bear market, rates will rise or fall, inflation up or down.
00:10:57.000Can someone please invent a crystal ball?

00:11:54.000Yeah, reporterwilliamjkelly.com is the website.
00:11:59.000There is a GoFundMe there for a legal defense fund because just like with Lightfoot revoking my media credential, Mayor Johnson is definitely looking for any excuse to get me out of City Hall.
00:12:12.000Any money that is raised that doesn't go to legal defense will go to Audit the Mayor because we have a massive investigation that I believe needs I'm hoping that Senator Ted Cruz or someone's going to give us a call.
00:12:28.000We have unbelievable information, not only about the use of potential COVID funds at the airport for migrants, but other unfathomable, either incompetent and or corrupt misuse of money that could result in not only Tom Holman kicking down the doors of violent,
00:12:48.000repeat, illegal William Kelly, thank you so much.
00:13:08.000We have a new speaker drop for America Fest.

00:14:18.000This event is going to have incredible energy and spirit.
00:14:22.000There is a major Supreme Court hearing happening right now where they are going to decide, hopefully, the legal future of the medical mutilation of children.
00:14:34.000Is it okay to be able, is it constitutional to be able to chop off the breasts of an eight-year-old?
00:14:41.000Now, I don't know all the legal technicalities and details, to be perfectly honest with you.
00:14:47.000But that is the essence of what is happening here.
00:14:51.000Blake is putting something in our chat of exactly all of it.
00:15:00.000So, can you ban the mutilation of children?
00:15:04.000This should be a win, but I could see Gorsuch screwing us on this, I'll be honest.
00:15:08.000I could see Gorsuch coming up with some weird, goofy thing.
00:15:10.000I like Gorsuch a lot, but he just has a tendency to find on issues like this, he really messed up a prior trans ruling, if I'm not mistaken.
00:16:27.000What they're saying is, is it okay to protect children from chemical castration?
00:16:33.000The Supreme Court's case centers on Tennessee's ban on puberty blockers and hormone treatments, which trans patients call life-saving and the state made illegal.
00:16:46.000Election Day 2024 is in our rearview mirror and conservatives are fired up that President Trump heading back to the White House in January.
00:16:52.000But our fight isn't over and I'm asking you for your help.
00:16:55.000Conservatives for lower health care costs are warning us that Big Pharma and the far left are scrambling to fast track a big government scheme to eliminate free market forces in health care before the GOP can take control of the White House and Congress.
00:17:08.000This pharma backed scheme called de-linking would hand a massive $32 billion windfall to the biggest drug companies.
00:17:16.000Hardworking American customers, consumers, seniors and taxpayers.
00:17:21.000You can help stop Big Pharma's money grab from American seniors and taxpayers by going to pharmawindfall.com right now.
00:17:28.000Congress must reject Big Pharma's scheme to boost drug companies' profits, keep drug prices high, undermine competition in healthcare, and hike healthcare costs for American people.
00:17:38.000Please go now to pharmawindfall.com to join this urgent fight.
00:17:42.000Portions of the Charlie Kirkshire are brought to you in part by conservatives for lower healthcare costs.
00:17:49.000Joining us now is the Attorney General of South Carolina, Alan Wilson.
00:17:53.000Alan, what is your take legally on the prohibition of the castration of children, this case that is currently being heard in front of the U.S. Supreme Court?
00:18:03.000Well, first, Charlie, thank you for having me on your show.
00:18:05.000It was great to see you a few weeks ago down at Mar-a-Lago, and we appreciate all the work that you're doing.
00:18:10.000First off, I'm involved in this because I'm one of 25 states that has passed a law similar to that of Tennessee.
00:18:16.000So what happens in the Supreme Court on this decision impacts South Carolina.
00:18:19.000As you know, Charlie, states have a general police power.
00:18:23.000Inherent in that police power is the ability to regulate various professions, in this case, The medical profession.
00:18:28.000We have police powers to pass laws that protect generally the welfare and health care of children.
00:18:35.000States have passed laws that restrict when a child can purchase alcohol or purchase tobacco.
00:18:42.000States have passed laws on the ages that children can sit in the front seat of a car or children can buy pornographic materials.
00:18:48.000I mean, there's all kinds of restrictions that are placed on children that the states have deemed are important for society of that state.
00:18:55.000And in this particular case, Various states, 25 states in this case, including Tennessee, have passed laws that put restrictions on basically what you called, and I agree with you, gender mutilation and chemical castration of children as minors.
00:19:11.000We basically determined that it is not a good thing for children as young as 6, 10, 12 years old to make life decisions that they may come to regret where they chemically castrate or mutilate their genitalia.
00:19:27.000There are obviously the plaintiffs have sued to basically ask the Supreme Court to raise the level of scrutiny so high that states would not be able to pass these types of laws because they allege that it violates equal protection clause.
00:19:41.000Of the 14th Amendment, which we vehemently disagree with.
00:19:44.000But again, if states can pass a law that would restrict what age a child can buy cigarettes or alcohol, but we can't restrict when a child can perform an irreversible surgery or a procedure, then the states have had their police powers completely gutted because of a radical leftist woke agenda.
00:20:02.000Yeah, and so let's just strongman or steelman the other side.
00:20:06.000So if I had somebody on this show that is arguing against you, what is their argument?
00:20:33.000You have to play devil's advocate and argue against yourself at times.
00:20:36.000What they would say and what they argue today in the Supreme Court and what they argue in their briefings is that you're treating the sexes differently.
00:20:42.000In this particular case, they would say if a biological boy wants to transition to being a girl and that boy wants to take estrogen to help them become a girl, And then there's another girl who wants to take estrogen.
00:20:58.000You would prohibit the boy from getting estrogen, but you wouldn't prohibit the girl from getting estrogen if she wanted estrogen because she were not feminine enough, or vice versa.
00:21:07.000If there was a girl who wanted to take testosterone because she wanted to transition, you'd be treating her differently than a boy who wanted to take testosterone because maybe he was going into some, but he was lagging in puberty or because his voice wasn't deep enough.
00:21:22.000So basically they're saying you're treating people differently based on their sex.
00:21:27.000But the argument that the Solicitor General Tennessee made I thought was excellent.
00:21:31.000I mean, he was basically saying we use morphine to limit people's pain.
00:21:36.000We also use morphine for assisted suicide.
00:21:40.000You know, giving a drug to someone in the context of that drug could have a negative impact on them.
00:21:46.000Giving a boy who wants to work, has an issue with, for instance, he's developing breast or something, and he doesn't want to have that.
00:21:54.000Giving him a testosterone for the medical purpose of helping him...
00:21:59.000You know, not have breasts is one thing.
00:22:02.000Giving it to a girl that could have irreversible harmful effects to her in the long term is a completely different thing.
00:22:08.000It'd be like giving morphine to an assisted suicide cases.
00:22:11.000So that's the equal protection argument that they are making, that you're treating the sexes differently.
00:22:16.000Frankly, in my opinion, you're treating the sexes the same.
00:22:19.000You're basically prohibiting both sexes from potentially engaging in harmful behaviors or harmful surgeries That they can certainly elect to do when they turn 18 years of age, but you're prohibiting both sexes from engaging those type of behaviors.
00:22:32.000Another thing, Charlie, I think is important is that the science of gender transition are all over the map.
00:22:46.000You have 25 states that have restricted this because The science says one thing.
00:22:51.000You have other countries and other states who argue that it helps prevent suicidal ideation in teenagers.
00:22:56.000The problem is suicidal ideation, if you do longitudinal studies, goes on for years and possibly decades after the transition surgeries.
00:23:04.000We just don't have enough information to say that these gender-affirming care that they're receiving are actually going to do what people purport that they will do.
00:23:16.000Banning trans surgeries for minors is like banning interracial marriage?
00:23:19.000Play cut 88. You know, as I read the statute here, excuse me, the case here, you know, the court starts off by saying that Virginia is now one of 16 states which prohibit and punish marriages on the basis Of racial classifications.
00:23:33.000And when you look at the structure of that law, it looks in terms of, you know, you can't do something that is inconsistent with your own characteristics.
00:23:43.000So it's interesting to me that we now have this different argument, and I wonder whether Virginia could have gotten away with what they did here by just making a classification argument the way that Tennessee is in this case.
00:23:56.000This is an outrageous argument, in my opinion, from a Supreme Court justice.
00:24:01.000I know you have to be careful because you have cases in front of the Supreme Court.
00:24:28.000This is a case in which the local governments, the state governments, are intending to protect children from possible irreversible Irreversible and harmful effects.
00:24:36.000So these are completely two different things, two different points of view.
00:24:40.000It was a conflation that I could barely follow.
00:24:49.000What other cases have you been working on, Alan, and what are you most excited about to kind of see the Trump administration do from a reformation of lawfare and legal standpoint?
00:24:58.000Well, first off, my very dear friend, who I absolutely adore, Pam Bondi, being selected as the new United States Attorney General, at least nominated.
00:25:47.000I mean, we have a case right now that we're in Amica State on in which school districts around the country are trying to prohibit a kid from wearing a t-shirt saying there are only two genders, yet they're allowed, other people with opposing viewpoints are allowed to wear their garments in school.
00:26:02.000You've got school districts that are passing rules that say if you misgender someone, even if it's on a Saturday and you're at the local mall and you're not on school grounds, you can be punished when you return to school.
00:26:13.000I mean, those types of things are going on, things that infringe on parental rights, the right of parents to know what's going on in their child's education.
00:26:20.000So we're very dialed in on those types of issues.
00:26:22.000Obviously, I'm incredibly focused on what's going on at the southern border.
00:26:26.000I visited the southern border back in August.
00:26:29.000The fentanyl trafficking, as you've covered in the past, there are currently 300,000 minor, unaccompanied minors that cross the border.
00:26:38.000We seized at the beginning of January of last year enough fentanyl to kill 500,000 people in South Carolina.
00:26:43.000It all came from Mexico in coordination with the Mexican drug cartels, the gangs, and the Chinese government that were manufacturing it and sending it over to the Mexico-Texas border.
00:26:53.000It's finding its way into states like South Carolina.
00:26:57.000So these are issues that I'm very focused on.
00:27:11.000In closing here, Attorney General Wilson, you've been working on a lot of these cases.
00:27:16.000Just so our audience understands, if you have pending litigation with the federal government and a new administration comes in, how does that work?
00:27:25.000How does that work if there's a new administration and you have pending cases against a prior one?
00:27:30.000Well, obviously, the Department of Justice doesn't have to defend the case that a previous administration is either defending or attacking.
00:27:36.000They can withdraw, they can rescind, they can consent.
00:27:39.000And so that is one thing that might be good.
00:27:42.000Sometimes, though, when you feel like you have a good case, right now there's a case before the Supreme Court that challenges the jurisprudence of US v.
00:28:14.000Texas case, we're an amicus state on that.
00:28:16.000I think states should be able to pass complementary laws, immigration laws, that allow states to enforce immigration, which they have a right to do under the Constitution.
00:28:26.000But what the federal government has done under Obama and Biden is they've said, hey, only we can enforce immigration laws.
00:28:32.000And by the way, we're not going to enforce them.
00:28:36.000And so if a future administration comes in and refuses to enforce immigration laws, I think the state should have the ability to pass a state law.
00:28:43.000Charlie, it's illegal at the federal level to traffic drugs in South Carolina.
00:28:47.000It is also illegal under South Carolina state law to traffic drugs.
00:28:51.000If the feds don't enforce drug trafficking laws in my state, I can under state law.
00:28:56.000I think I should be able to do the same thing with illegal immigrants, prosecuting them and returning them.
00:29:01.000So these are things that we would like to continue to fight for.
00:29:04.000I would like to give the Supreme Court to roll back that last case.
00:29:07.000But again, the Justice Department could choose to consent and kick it.
00:29:11.000Thank you so much, Attorney General Wilson.
00:29:19.000If you ever had a doubt that there's a war on the unborn, you now know beyond a doubt that is the case.
00:29:23.000It'd be easy to give up, but you know I'll never give up on giving the truth to girls and women who the other side want to choose death for their baby.
00:29:30.000I'm standing for life no matter what the other side says, and we're going to save more babies than ever before to show them that truth will win out.
00:29:36.000It can only be shared with girls and women who will make the right choice.
00:29:39.000Preborn provides free ultrasounds to girls and women.
00:29:41.000It's the truth that they deserve, and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.
00:29:46.000$140 gives 5 mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
00:29:51.000$280 can save 10 babies and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than $1 a day.
00:29:56.000Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, join me in saving babies right now.
00:30:01.000Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:30:07.000We'll provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.
00:30:10.000Go to Preborn banner at charliekirk.com.
00:30:13.000I'm a donor and you should be a donor as well.
00:30:15.000Go to charliekirk.com and click on the preborn banner.
00:30:21.000I can't share anything private, but I could share you a general vibe and takeaway that the determination and the focus of the Trump team and the president to fulfill promises, especially when it comes to immigration, is remarkable.
00:30:34.000Stephen Miller, who is the deputy chief of staff of policy, is doing a phenomenal job.
00:30:39.000And he understands this to the micro detail better than anybody else from the agencies.
00:30:44.000And again, I'm just like a fly on the wall learning so much.
00:30:48.000Guys, there is so much legal complexity unnecessarily around immigration.
00:32:47.000Now, mind you, the table is beautifully set Did you guys know that we spent precious years in 2017, 2018, 2019, getting case law finally set so then we could then do mass deportations?
00:33:02.000So the injunction strategy is probably not going to work by the left this time.
00:33:06.000Because we have Title 42. We have remain in Mexico.
00:33:11.000We have so much case law that has been set that we can now do the job.
00:33:24.000I've said it many times over the past two weeks.
00:33:27.000Title 8, United States Code 1324, Section 3, Triple I. It is a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from immigration authorities.
00:33:37.000It's a felony to appeal to a law enforcement officer in the performance of their duties.
00:33:41.000Don't cross that line because there will be consequences, and thank God we've got a strong attorney general coming in, Pam Bondi, and I will push those prosecutions.
00:33:49.000So you cannot help watch us, which I can't believe a mayor or a governor doesn't want to take public safety threats out of the community.
00:33:57.000You can sit there and watch us do it, but do not cross that line.
00:34:12.000Play cut 70. Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people have been a harm to our country.
00:34:22.000I want to sit down and hear the plan on how we're going to address them.
00:34:26.000Those are the people I am talking about, and I would love to sit down with the board of czar and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens.
00:34:36.000In the era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.
00:34:47.000Because I'm going to protect the people of this city.
00:34:49.000And if you come into this country, in this city, and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.

00:35:32.000They should want what is, they want it because it's right.
00:35:36.000I can tell you from firsthand experience, I could not be more encouraged by the Trump team's commitment to secure the country for mass deportations.
00:35:45.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
