00:00:56.000The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:02:08.000Before we do that, I do want to show, again, because the team has done such a great job with this, getting the OG, the original Charlie merch line back up.
00:04:01.000We live in a country with elections, where political issues matter, where the way something looks matters.
00:04:08.000And we've talked about that a bit on this show with this ICE showdown that I hope in the White House, inside ICE, they are having discussions.
00:04:17.000How are we going to handle possible confrontations and showdowns that can happen?
00:04:22.000So we said, for example, if they're trying to use police, if they follow through on threats to have police directly block ICE or try to arrest ICE officers, don't wing your response to that.
00:04:33.000They need to say, what should we be, what are we telling ICE agents to do if a local police officer tries to detain them for arresting an illegal?
00:04:41.000What should they do if these local police officers are getting in the way?
00:04:58.000We're going after malefactors who are recklessly breaking the law.
00:05:02.000And so, frankly, I know our guests were just arguing in favor of it.
00:05:07.000I personally feel if it's 200 people around one federal building, I'm not sure I'm sold on Insurrection Act yet.
00:05:13.000That might be send more federal agents and make sure these people are getting arrested before I would go full bore and say we need to call out the military for a few hours.
00:05:23.000I was thinking about it in the break, and I'm very pro-Insurrection Act, first of all, because I think you deal with this issue quickly, then it goes away quickly, right?
00:05:32.000And then we get to focus on fraud in Somalia.
00:05:35.000And again, remember, people have very short-term memories.
00:05:38.000And when you draw these things out too long, it sinks deeper into the subconscious.
00:05:43.000It's when you get Joe Rogan and other people that are like, listen, I think Joe Rogan is the GOAT of podcasters.
00:05:54.000It's because he's not like a policy wonk.
00:05:56.000He's not thinking through all of this.
00:05:57.000And secondly, he doesn't understand or is not connected to the fact that these issues that we know, and Blake and I fully understand this because we've looked at the fertility rates.
00:06:07.000We've looked at the long-term implications.
00:06:08.000We are in the process of losing our country.
00:06:11.000The erasure of American culture is happening now unless we stop it.
00:06:16.000And I don't want that country for my kids.
00:06:18.000I don't want third worldism in my country.
00:06:21.000I don't want a country rock by fraud and corruption and Somali pirates.
00:06:52.000But I do think you need to kind of counterbalance it a little bit, especially going into the midterms, because we should be and could be seeing Trump out there campaigning right now and doing massive rallies and, you know, when there's crazy news.
00:07:05.000But then to Andrew's point, the more you talk about it, the more it's an obsession, the more it has this like microscope on it.
00:07:11.000And any small mistake, people just like hyper-fixate to.
00:07:17.000But this is why they fund the protests, too.
00:07:19.000This is why Soros seed monies some of these far-left groups, because you can get 200 people and you could shave off five points of popularity for Trump.
00:07:27.000But if everybody's focusing right now on everything that ICE is doing, why don't we use the opportunity to put Fauci in prison and do some other crazy stuff to make some news, you know?
00:08:06.000But when you start getting into these militarized street altercations, you just have to understand that the vast majority of the country is not thinking down the road like we are.
00:08:14.000They're thinking about their video games.
00:08:17.000They're not thinking about the demographic replacement that's happening in the country and want real results now.
00:08:23.000And so you just have to understand that and play that out politically.
00:08:25.000Plus, we live in the era of social media where every freaking video, you know, if you think about Insurrection Act has been called, what, 17 times in U.S. history?
00:09:25.000What it is is a dynasty is losing the mandate of heaven, and the evidence is that there are signs of heaven's displeasure.
00:09:30.000And that is, it would be like natural disasters would be signs of this, but also rebellions and chaos breaking out.
00:09:37.000And the reason I mentioned that is I think there's an element of that in how the American people will react to something like this.
00:09:43.000So your best argument for the Insurrection Act is if they can shut this down immediately, but the biggest worry would be what if they try to shut it down and instead you get similar outbreaks in cities across the United States.
00:09:55.000And the reason they'll be upset, it's not even how they feel about immigration policy one way or the other.
00:10:00.000They'll just think like, oh, there's chaos.
00:13:33.000We'll ask you what you want us to cover.
00:13:34.000So if we're missing stories that you think are important, if you want to have us book certain guests, whatever, like we'll just do all of that.
00:13:42.000You guys can kind of become into the producer world with us.
00:13:46.000And so it's really looking forward to that.
00:13:48.000So we're going to be rolling that out soon.
00:13:51.000Yeah, so I had a couple, but my main one is I just don't understand with all these people that are shouting free Palestine earlier the last couple years.
00:14:00.000Why are they not saying the same thing about Iran?
00:14:16.000There's people that are Christian over there and they're hiding underground and they're converting to Christianity en masse and being killed.
00:14:22.000And it's just crazy to me that this isn't like national news.
00:14:58.000And the answer, honestly, one of the biggest reasons for why they don't care is it gets at the heart of why so many people dislike Israel in the first place.
00:15:05.000And it's because, frankly, for a lot of them, they dislike it.
00:15:09.000Some of them dislike it because it's Jewish.
00:15:11.000But a lot of them dislike it because it's culturally European, because they're culturally considered white, essentially, because they're considered an outpost of colonialism.
00:15:22.000They basically, they like to hate on that.
00:15:24.000They hate on them for the same reason they hate ordinary middle Americans or the reason they hate natives of Britain or natives of Germany or native Swedes.
00:15:32.000And so that is their safe way for them to really amp themselves up in enjoying that hatred.
00:15:37.000That's why you saw BLM Chicago celebrate 10-7 because they would like to do 10-7 in your neighborhood too.
00:15:45.000And indulging that for Iran, where they're actually trying to overthrow a tyrannical regime that doesn't code as any of those things, doesn't give them that release they want.
00:15:53.000That's what's at the heart of it, in my opinion.
00:15:55.000Yeah, I think I agree with a lot of that.
00:15:57.000And I just want to underscore what you said.
00:16:34.000And people's hearts are changing in Iran.
00:16:37.000And I think that a lot of people, you know, we had Elika LeBon on earlier this week, and she was explaining the religious dynamics of Iran are not exactly what you think.
00:16:45.000I think there's a lot of devout Muslims.
00:16:47.000I sort of have somewhat of a disagreement, but there is a lot more variety and mixed.
00:16:52.000I mean, she was right about there historically been a Zoroastrianism or whatever.
00:17:11.000And there's a lot of dynamics that we're not really aware of as Westerners.
00:17:15.000But here's ultimately, to Blake's point, it is to go after the Iranian regime would be to admit that there is oppression, real oppression, political, spiritual, economic, that doesn't come from the white man.
00:18:40.000I mean, when we send aid and money and resources to the oppressor, then it's easier for Americans to want to team up with the oppressed because part of their taxpaying are going to killing the oppressed.
00:19:33.000But I do think that there is another piece of it where it just simply cuts against this intersectional coalition that the Red-Green Alliance, right?
00:19:41.000Because in order to come out in favor of one side or the other in Iran, you essentially have to come out against part of your red-green alliance.
00:19:49.000You have to come out against Muslims, which are which are part of this communist, Islamist coalition, Momdani, all of these things.
00:20:35.000They hate European culture, which they believe is the main driver of capitalism around the world.
00:20:42.000And therefore, they want to dismantle white culture, European heritage, Western world.
00:20:48.000They hate Christendom because it's the backrop and the bedrock of the backbone and the bedrock of the structures that enliven it and that allow it to continue existing.
00:21:10.000They can feel that their power is expanding.
00:21:13.000And that's why what was so powerful, what Trump did actually in 2024, was because we had a multi-ethnic coalition of people that were wanting the actual American dream.
00:21:22.000They just wanted more money in their pockets.
00:26:30.000So we have to be frank about this failure.
00:26:32.000All five members of the Wyoming Supreme Court were chosen by a Republican governor.
00:26:37.000They have to pick from a list of nominees that are submitted by a judicial nominating commission in the state.
00:26:45.000I don't know how the staff of that is chosen.
00:26:47.000But you see, basically, this is how you can get a lot of this stuff is this indirect nomination.
00:26:52.000Instead of the governor just picking whoever he wants, they instead have this nominating commission.
00:26:58.000The judge then picks the governor then picks from the three nominees they put forward.
00:27:02.000And then there is a retention election on the statewide ballot.
00:27:06.000And because I'm approaching this quite recently, I don't know the exact way these specific justices were chosen, but there's a rationale between the judges right now.
00:27:17.000So the rationale on the decision, by the way, is so, first of all, they decide abortion just automatically counts as health care.
00:27:24.000But an interesting part of it, their justification for this, which was also reached by lower courts in the state of Wyoming, when Obamacare was passed back in 2010, the state reacted by passing its own constitutional amendment that basically says Wyomings have a right to make decisions about health care in the state.
00:27:45.000And the intent of this was to push back on any drive towards centralization.
00:27:50.000It was against Obamacare, the fear that Obamacare was going to dictate their medical decisions.
00:27:54.000Oh, you can only get this thing or you're only allowed to have this type of insurance.
00:28:07.000You have to watch who's getting on your Supreme Court.
00:28:10.000First of all, you have to make sure that the people who are getting, who are making the choice of who even can be nominated for the Supreme Court are aligned.
00:28:19.000The Wyoming Judicial Nomination Commission includes the Chief Justice, then three lawyers elected by the Wyoming State Bar.
00:28:26.000So there's a state bar question there.
00:28:28.000And that is currently Devin O'Connell, Mandy Goode, Clint Langer, and then three non-lawyers appointed by the governor.
00:28:34.000So at least the government is a good person.
00:28:35.000So that's a majority in Rocco O'Neill.
00:28:38.000This is so similar to what we actually had in, remember when we talked about this in Israel where they were trying to reform the court?
00:28:44.000So the Chief Justice and then three people on the state bar are a majority there.
00:28:49.000There are three people appointed by someone else, non-lawyers, but they can have a majority of people that is basically self-perpetuating of the state's legal elites and the current Supreme Court justice who's already picked by this mechanism.
00:29:01.000So frankly, I would say, first of all, you should probably look into replacing that mechanism.
00:29:06.000And you might need to amend your Constitution to do that.
00:29:08.000I don't know the way that's done in Wyoming.
00:29:11.000And I also want to make sure we address the how do you change people's minds.
00:29:14.000One of the things that's not as well known about these Republican states out west, they are less church.
00:29:19.000They are less religious than other ones.
00:29:21.000So if you go to Oklahoma, if you go to Tennessee, there is a high religious affiliation of conservatives.
00:29:29.000Western states, once you get west of kind of the Great Plains line, basically when you cross the Missouri River and the line going down from it, you still have a lot of conservatives, but they are more libertarian.
00:29:40.000They're less likely to be members of a church, even if they vote our way.
00:29:43.000And so they're less aligned on these issues.
00:29:45.000So we actually have to continue the work of trying to spiritually witness to these people.
00:29:49.000You're not just trying to block the decline of religiosity.
00:29:52.000These are probably the states where you have the most people who are maybe open to it.
00:30:05.000But it's also, they just didn't grow up.
00:30:07.000These places have never had as many churches.
00:30:09.000And in the South, it's that you're in a church culture because there's been churches there for 200 years and your parent, your grandparent, maybe your great-grandfather built the church and your grandparents remembers, your parents remembers.
00:30:22.000You are in a society where membership of a church is almost taken for granted.
00:30:25.000It's much easier to get into that world.
00:30:28.000Out west, it's much more do-it-yourself.
00:30:30.000So we get some great Christians out there because it's such a do-it-yourself thing.
00:30:58.000My instant analysis when I was hearing your question was that you have to pass a state law that redefines abortion as not health care.
00:31:07.000And that's what stinks is I think that would have been really easy if they'd written their law like that in 2012 and they'd say, by the way, abortion isn't health care.
00:33:10.000So we didn't get the clip I wanted, but that's fine.
00:33:11.000This is them announcing this new partnership with the CCP, 517.
00:33:16.000I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.
00:33:28.000He couldn't have said that more ominously.
00:33:29.000Yeah, that was him intentionally signaling to D.C. and Donald Trump that he has his own agency and they're going to push back and become a proud little puppet state, vassal state of the CCP.
00:33:50.000One of the things you said in the public remarks was this partnership, Canada and China, this new partnership, sets us up well for the new world order.
00:34:14.000So the question is, what gets built in that place?
00:34:17.000But the evolution of the global financial system, the role of the Reminb over time, the evolution of cross-border payments.
00:34:25.000And look, the expectation is that rather than these being developed necessarily through the IMF, WTO, and other multilateral organizations, it is going to be coalitions that develop them, not for the world, but for subsectors of the world.
00:34:46.000First of all, Mike, do your impression of Carney.
00:34:53.000There's a lot that's interesting there, though.
00:34:56.000And so first of all, the announcement today that's kind of a money, you know, the follow-up to this is they announced today Canada is, they had been aligned with us on a lot of very aggressive anti-China tariffs, huge tariffs on cars, some other exports.
00:35:09.000And they announced today they are cutting their tariffs on Chinese automobiles.
00:35:14.000So these electric cars that they're all over the world.
00:35:17.000You never see them in America because we tariff them so hard, but we might see Canadians driving them.
00:35:22.000And in return, China is cutting tariffs they had imposed on Canadian exports, like I think canola oil is something that they were exporting, stuff like that.
00:35:31.000But it's really interesting what he's saying because what he's saying is basically an earthquake.
00:35:35.000Canada has always been in the United States orbit.
00:35:38.000Let's be frank, it's always been a major ally of ours, even when we had differing governments.
00:35:44.000So if we're taking Greenland because China and Russia have an influence on that territory, and that is our reasoning to do so, does that mean we also need to take Canada because they're being influenced by China and Russia?
00:36:02.000This happened because I think we recklessly bullied Canada just after, you know, kind of during that transitional period to the new administration.
00:36:11.000President Trump was going on about the 51st state thing.
00:36:14.000First of all, like Charlie, I don't want Canada as a 51st state.
00:36:18.000They're very liberal on certainly like abortion.
00:36:46.000And unfortunately, Canada's national identity, a lot of it is bound up with being not America or being like America, but way more left-wing.
00:36:55.000And I think that really exacerbated that element of Canadian national pride.
00:37:00.000And it made them go for this Carney guy who's this globalist lizard.
00:37:05.000And what he's saying there when he says, oh, we're going to see sub-sectors of the world instead of multilateral organizations.
00:37:11.000What he's saying is the IMF, the WTO, institutions that America built are going to be replaced by ones China might build with Canada.
00:37:23.000Every single dollar you spend is either supporting your values or working against them.
00:37:28.000In today's economy, where you spend your money, it really matters.
00:37:32.000And that's how we take back our country.
00:37:34.000Patriot Mobile is leading the way as America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:37:40.000And you can switch today without sacrificing quality or service.
00:37:44.000You'll get exceptional nationwide coverage because unlike most budget wireless providers, Patriot Mobile has access to all three major networks.
00:37:52.000Or you can do what I do, and you can add two numbers on two different networks on one phone.
00:41:30.000I would be remiss if I didn't flog my personal hobby horse, which is I think the best way for President Trump to indulge his desire to make America bigger and grander and to do really big projects no one else does without possibly alienating useful allies, he should annex Antarctica.
00:42:32.000And so if we annexed the whole thing, we would be bigger than Russia.
00:42:35.000I would need to see if you could actually extract resources from almost certainly not in any sort of short time frame, but in a century timeframe.
00:42:43.000We have one more question we do want to get to.
00:42:55.000So by the way, Carney, yeah, I hate to say he probably is beta, but Tommies can definitely be alphas, like you said.
00:43:02.000So yeah, my question kind of to preface it would be that, you know, for a long time, it's been frustrating to see all these people out there being portrayed as these really angry citizens standing for these things when a lot of times they're just being paid.
00:43:17.000Because I've, you know, I've seen the ads before myself, you know, looking for people out there in Phoenix, you know, to do stuff.
00:43:22.000So the, so my question is, you know, what do you think about Congress passing a law that would require, just like we have in commercials, you know, paid protesters to wear something like an armband or something that shows that they're being paid a wage to be there and requiring that, but that they also can register, you know, the company has to register somewhere federally and there needs to be some sort of signpost and somebody feed of anything that states clearly who's paying them.
00:43:48.000Because that would, you know, it wouldn't go against free speech laws because we already have laws requiring that for stuff on TV and radio, truth and advertising and so forth.
00:43:55.000And it would also make it a more clear employee-employer relationship so that, you know, they can be sued.
00:44:02.000I was going to say, this actually gives you a mechanism for enforcing like a crackdown if you know that they are paid protesters and they don't properly.
00:44:37.000I don't know that I've ever seen a paid protester ad that I, I'll be frank, that I think was real.
00:44:42.000I think people post them and I think they're fake.
00:44:45.000There was a, there was actually, back when I was on Tucker's show in 2017, there was a completely fake paid protester bit and we had the fake paid protester guy on the show.
00:44:59.000I just, I don't know that I've ever seen evidence that an Antifa that like a person who is just a 100% disinterested mercenary figure showed up at something like an anti-ICE protest or an anti-administration protest because they were just being paid a wage to be there.
00:45:16.000I think it's a confluence of like, you have true believers that, you know, will then kind of come up through the ranks, activist groups.
00:45:33.000I tend to agree with you, actually, though, that more of it is organic than the left or than the right wants to admit.
00:45:39.000A lot of this is just people that, you know, listen, people have a hole in their soul and they're looking for purpose.
00:45:44.000They're looking for something to make themselves useful with.
00:45:48.000And instead of raising their family, instead of teaching them how to obey police officers, they end up getting themselves, you know, enmeshed in these really radical ideologies that fill this gaping hole and gets them.
00:45:59.000And like Renee Good puts, it ends up with her being cannon fodder in the streets confronting ICE where she should not have been.
00:46:37.000So in terms of like these natural groups coming out, it takes a few people to start something.
00:46:42.000And if there are 10 people that are getting paid and 10 people that are organizing something, they could get 250, 300 people out there to protest something because those 10 people started it.
00:47:08.000So the thing is, that's not proof that she's being paid to protest.
00:47:12.000What it really gets at, I suspect, and I don't know this for sure, but I suspect there are a huge number of organizations that the left controls where you can get, where you have unlimited opportunity to go protest whenever you want.
00:47:25.000So, for example, the St. Paul Teachers Union is calling for all their teachers to go on basically strike.
00:47:31.000And then all the schools doing walkouts and they're at the capital causing chaos.
00:47:34.000If you can walk out on your job as a teacher and no one will fire you, you can easily boast, I'm getting paid right now.
00:47:43.000And they have infinity things like that.
00:47:45.000Anyone who's working at these left-wing universities, anyone who works at left-wing NGOs, anyone who works at, you know, as a public school teacher where they indulge these things, the left has tons of institutions where they can park a full-time political activist with very little real work demanded of them, and their job is be a left-winger.
00:48:04.000That's very different from I'm a mercenary who's paid to protest.
