In this final episode, Producer Andrew Colvett fills in for Charlie as he finishes up his fellowship at the Claremont Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada. But in the meantime, we ve got a lot to cover, including census data that shows that America is becoming less white. Is the left celebrating the demise of white America too soon? Perhaps. And by the way, it s not all good news for the Democrats. Also, Afghanistan is falling. Biden s Saigon. What happened? What went wrong? And what can be done to stop it?

00:02:49.000Hey, everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:02:51.000This is producer Andrew Colvett filling in for the one and only Charlie Kirk, who is finishing up a he's finished up the Lincoln Fellowship as part of the Claremont Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:03:29.000The entire nation of Afghanistan under siege as the Taliban now have crushed under their control city after city.
00:03:39.000And now rapidly closing in on the capital, Kabul, where our U.S. embassy is, the Pentagon deploying thousands of troops, and even more on standby in the Middle East.
00:04:07.000This is for those of you who are listening that are probably less than a certain age.
00:04:13.000To our boomer friends, you know exactly what this is and what this means.
00:04:18.000To millennials, Gen Z, they probably don't know what this means.
00:04:21.000But Saigon was obviously a horrendous moment in our foreign policy in Vietnam when we had to evacuate Americans by helicopter out of Vietnam.
00:04:37.000And it was sort of, it became this image of a failed mission in Vietnam and something that we never wanted to see happen again.
00:04:48.000Now, we had 2,500 troops for since roughly the beginning of 2020 inside of Afghanistan.
00:04:59.000Joe Biden just put 3,000 more troops to ensure the safety of the embassy, the personnel that were inside the embassy, in an evacuation mission.
00:05:14.000We just increased, we sent more troops than we even had there to begin with just to ensure that American citizens would make it out alive.
00:05:25.000So, let's go ahead and hear what Secretary, former Secretary Mike Pompeo, had to say that he's ripping President Biden over this panicked tactic in Afghanistan.
00:05:39.000I want to hear straight from Mike Pompeo himself.
00:05:42.000This was poor planning, poor leadership, and that the model of deterrence that the Trump administration had in place as we prepared to bring the soldiers, sailors, Marines, everybody who's on the ground there home.
00:05:54.000Looks like they've not been able to execute this.
00:05:56.000Martha, you know, this big strategy depends on planning and execution.
00:06:06.000I hope that we can protect Americans in the way that the Trump administration had every intention of doing as we drew down our forces there.
00:06:14.000So remember, Biden took office in January with only 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
00:06:21.000So he has just increased the troop levels in Afghanistan of American troops.
00:06:26.000But this is what's really interesting.
00:06:28.000So when you sort of dig into the way that Pompeo and President Trump dealt with the Taliban, you got to remember this.
00:06:35.000This is straight from Pompeo, and I'm taking this from the New York Post.
00:06:38.000Pompeo said, Trump made clear to Taliban leaders that any harm to Americans would come at a steep cost, even warning a lead negotiator of consequences, quote, to your village.
00:06:51.000So we've become so accustomed to this very soft language out of Washington, to this very sort of, we are citizens of the world, and we're going to be nice to everybody.
00:07:05.000And if you're going to be coming through our southern border, that's okay.
00:07:08.000We're, you know, we're going to be humane.
00:07:10.000Only months ago, you've got to remember that Pompeo and Trump were having negotiations with Taliban leaders saying, if you touch a hair on the head of an American in Afghanistan, we will drop holy hell on you and your village.
00:07:27.000You know, they say that our civilization is protected by strong men that are willing to do strong things.
00:07:36.000We are watching the destabilization of a region that we spent trillions of dollars trying to maintain.
00:07:48.000And to watch it just fall off in the matter of weeks, to watch it crumble into disarray in a matter of weeks is an absolute national disgrace.
00:07:57.000And I've been communicating offline with some experts on this topic, and we're hearing already that the number of foreign fighters inside the country is already high.
00:08:10.000We're hearing that Ambassador Khalazad did not hold the Taliban to any conditions for peace.
00:08:19.000And we're hearing that there's already Taliban sleeper cells inside of Kabul.
00:08:25.000So it's only a matter of time that Kabul falls.
00:08:32.000Now, already, when we look at the breakdown of how the country is already controlled, certain Afghan districts, the Taliban already controls 60% of the country.
00:08:42.000There's about 25% that's contested, and only 16% is in control by the Afghan government that we've spent years and years trying to prop up.
00:08:54.000But Joe Biden said that this wasn't going to happen.
00:08:57.000Biden told us that the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.
00:09:05.000Let's play cut 85 of Biden assuring us that this very thing was not going to happen.
00:09:11.000Mr. President, how serious was the corruption among the Afghanistan government to this mission failing there?
00:09:19.000Well, first of all, the mission hasn't failed yet.
00:09:23.000So the question now is, where do they go from here?
00:09:27.000That the jury is still out, but the likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.
00:09:38.000It's just incredible that this man who his own, who Obama's Secretary of Defense Gates said got every single thing wrong when it came to foreign policy, that the American voters, quote unquote, trusted him with our national defense.
00:11:31.000The truth is, yeah, and this is from Fox News.
00:11:34.000The truth is the Afghan war was lost 19 years ago when we switched from our original mission of destroying al-Qaeda to a new mission, nation-building a modern Afghanistan.
00:11:45.000And I completely agree with this next line.
00:11:48.000Our leaders wanted to turn one of the most backward, corrupt, illiterate, desolate, tribal countries in the world into a democracy that would rebuff al-Qaeda.
00:11:59.000Our military efforts were doomed from the start when we tried to create a sophisticated Afghan military that relied on American forces, air support, and intelligence.
00:12:09.000And then she goes on very, I think, aptly to say that our original mission, this is a point we've made on this show multiple times.
00:12:16.000Our original mission was really smart, really limited, and incredibly successful.
00:12:24.000We sent special ops into that country, and within three months, working alongside the tribal leaders, we destroyed most of al-Qaeda.
00:12:34.000There's a few hundred remaining fighters surrounded, including Osama bin Laden, and they're huddled in caves and the mountains.
00:12:43.000But instead of finishing him off, we let them get away.
00:13:14.000I was rereading your memoir before we sat down to talk.
00:13:18.000And you said in your memoir, I think he's been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.
00:13:27.000Would he be an effective commander-in-chief?
00:13:42.000And right in that moment, you can almost see a thousand different lines of calculus playing out Secretary Gates' mind, saying, Do I still want to be able to be welcomed in polite society in Washington?
00:14:00.000He took the coward's way out, frankly, but his instincts were right.
00:14:04.000You could see from his body language, he wanted to quickly say no.
00:14:08.000But at least he did say this: I stand by those statements that he's been wrong about nearly every single foreign policy decision in his life.
00:14:18.000Now, I want you to contrast that with what we had only a few months ago from President Trump, Cut 87.
00:15:23.000It's absolutely for them to do, but they won't because it's a tribal, illiterate, backwards place that we should have never been trying to nation build.
00:15:30.000So here's how we, this is how we sum it up, okay, folks.
00:15:34.000There was a plan in place, an orderly plan that did not result, did not rely on trust with the Taliban.
00:15:42.000It said it was fear, it was deterrence.
00:15:45.000It said, if you touch a hair on one of these Americans' heads, we're going to wipe you off the face of the earth.
00:16:11.000We already know that foreign actors are taking advantage.
00:16:16.000Hey, everybody, for the last year, a slew of bad policies have weakened America to the point where now even our food supply is in danger.
00:16:25.000That's why I urge you to get yourself some emergency food from MyPatriot Supply.
00:16:30.000My Patriot Supply is America's original Patriot preparedness company with millions of American families served.
00:16:37.000Their food is grown here in America and stays fresh for up to 25 years in proper storage.
00:16:43.000I'm a big time, some people call it a prepper.
00:16:46.000I call it smart person who's trying to make sure whatever's going to happen, we're going to be ready for it.
00:16:54.000My Patriot Supply is a company you can trust because I trust them.
00:16:58.000And now you can save 25% off their four-week food kit that contains breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.
00:17:05.000If the Chinese hack our cyber grid, everybody, and all of a sudden there's no electric power, are you able to feed your family for more than a day, two days?
00:17:12.000Do you know that they say after five days, there'll be total chaos and bedlam in the streets.
00:19:08.000We are broadcasting out of California.
00:19:11.000This state is going to hell in a handbasket.
00:19:14.000If we can have 18 months of respite, because it's essentially how long Larry Elder would be in office if he got the governorship before having to run again for reelection, it would be like Christmas morning for all of the conservatives here.
00:20:15.000I think what needs to happen is they need to consolidate support around one guy.
00:20:19.000You got 18 months to end the lockdowns and the mandates and the craziness, address the homeless population that is out of control in the state of California.
00:20:28.000So this is just to be clear, this is not anti-Kevin Kylie.
00:20:34.000And our friend Larry Elder, who is part of the Salem Radio Network, is a great friend.
00:20:41.000And we are hopeful that he has what it takes to get over the finish line.
00:20:44.000And just so you're aware, the emergence of tweets from Joe Biden that just happened signaling their support, you know, sending their support to Gavin Newsome.
00:20:54.000And then, as I said, Speaker Pelosi also coming out in support of Gavin Newsom shows that they are nervous.
00:21:02.000That shows that they've looked at the numbers themselves and that there's a real chance that this could happen.
00:21:07.000Okay, I want to get on to something that has caught my attention and we've been talking a lot about behind the scenes, but that is basically about the demographic change that's happening.
00:21:20.000So the census data has come out and it shows that, yes, indeed, America is less white.
00:21:30.000New U.S. Census data released on Thursday show the white population declined for the first time in history last decade with significant increases among people who identify as multiracial, Hispanic, and Asian driving much of the population growth between 2010 and 2020.
00:21:50.000Non-Hispanic whites in America have shrunk by 8.6% over the last decade alone and now account for only 57.8% of the U.S. population, the lowest share ever.
00:22:01.000Now, this is where it starts kind of getting infuriating.
00:22:06.000This is Jennifer Rubin from the Washington Post.
00:22:39.000But we have to avoid minority white rule.
00:22:43.000Now, I want to take you back down the memory hole here a little bit.
00:22:46.000In July 30th, 2019, Max Boot, another Washington Post idiot, decades from now, when the country is majority minority, the Trump era will be seen as a last gasp of white resistance, a reprehensible episode that will be recounted alongside the McCarthy era and the internment of Japanese Americans in the Palmer Raids.
00:23:04.000Good Lord, have you ever heard of hyperbole, Max Boot?
00:23:08.000And then again, Jennifer Rubin exclaims, Yes, if only we could keep hardworking Latin American newcomers and deport the contemptible Republican cowards, that would truly enhance America's greatness.
00:23:23.000Now, we have talked about, and I've personally talked about it when I've been filling in for Charlie on this show, that there is a temptation among Democrats.
00:23:35.000It's not even a temptation, it's a total tactic.
00:23:37.000And they basically say, you guys are for replacement theory.
00:23:45.000And then when you actually call it out and you say, well, no, I mean, you guys are absolutely for ethnic replacement of whites.
00:23:52.000Now, see, here's the thing: I just did a whole segment last week on how the Hispanic vote is going to save our bacon in California because they've turned on the Democrats and Gavin Newsom.
00:24:03.000The only demographic as a race that is for the removal of Gavin Newsom and guess what?
00:24:13.000Hispanics outnumber whites according to the last census in California.
00:24:18.000It's the first state where that is true.
00:24:20.000It's almost true in Texas, by the way.
00:24:22.000So you've got over like 39% of the state of California.
00:24:44.000The point that we're making here, though, is that Hispanics might come back to bite Democrats in the you know what, because they are more conservative than the Democrats understand.
00:24:56.000Yes, when they first get here, they may or may not be liberal.
00:25:00.000They probably are 80-20 liberal, to be honest.
00:25:02.000But after a generation or two, we're seeing this trend throughout Florida and Texas.
00:25:07.000And now we're finally starting to see that trend in California take place in the recall of Gavin Newsome.
00:25:12.000So I don't even care about the stock, you come from European stock or whatever.
00:25:18.000And I'm going to use, I'm using that word on purpose because Joe Biden used it in 2017.
00:25:23.000And without further ado, let's play Cut 75.
00:25:26.000This is Joe Biden in 2017 talking about, yeah, you know what?
00:25:30.000Those of us of European stock will be an absolute minority in the United States of America.
00:26:17.000So his numbers were off a little bit because America is still basically 58% white, and it's 2021.
00:26:24.000So like all good things, Joe Biden was wrong on that as well.
00:26:28.000So I think he actually said this in 2015.
00:26:30.000And ironically, he's sitting next to somebody who is in the news, and that's Mayorkis before he was Secretary of Mayorkis.
00:26:38.000But he's in the news and it's connected to this story.
00:26:44.000So, but before I get to this, there's some leaked audio of Maorcus that I'm going to play in just a second, basically admitting that we almost lost the southern border of the United States, which is just striking.
00:27:21.000So we've got this invasion of our southern border because Biden and the Democrats have intentionally signaled to all of those countries south of our border and around the world, by the way.
00:27:32.000There's hundreds of countries represented in these apprehensions at the border.
00:27:36.000That, listen, we're open for business.
00:27:59.000I've been out front saying that on this show many times.
00:28:02.000I think we should be, you know, basically, we've taken in so many millions of people over the last couple of decades, last 40 years, that I think America needs time to digest a very large meal.
00:28:13.000We need a chance for this, for our culture to sort of assimilate everybody properly and to gain unity that has so obviously been lost in the last number of decades.
00:28:25.000That's my biggest issue: I don't like crowding.
00:28:28.000And I don't like when our culture is getting attacked from within by people that don't understand our culture, but yet have legal claim to be here.
00:28:36.000I don't think that's a good situation for us.
00:28:40.000Now, the demographic shift, this is what they're hailing now.
00:28:44.000A lot of people are saying that these numbers show that there's an uptick in the cities.
00:28:50.000Now, they're saying that all this population growth, they're saying it's the lowest since the 1930s in the Depression.
00:28:59.000We're now at 333 million people, 333 million people in America.
00:29:04.000You go back to like 1960, it was only 186 million, but the delta was 23 million changed between then and 1970, 20 million changed between 1970 and 1980, 22.6 million, so basically 23 million between 1980 and 1990.
00:29:22.000And then, you know, so what they're talking here is they're saying, oh, it's the slowest rate of growth.
00:29:46.000And the other thing that they're saying is that all these people have gone into the cities.
00:29:51.000Well, that trend was probably true for most of the last decade, but COVID and BLM has turned that whole trend around, folks.
00:30:00.000People have been moving out of the cities into the suburbs, which, by the way, is a good trend for conservatives.
00:30:07.000So while maybe the entire trend of the last decade was towards the cities, we saw that turnaround on a dime starting in May of 2020 with George Floyd and the riots.
00:30:20.000A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history?
00:32:21.000They have a whole course on theology 101.
00:32:24.000How about on the Greek wars, Athens and Sparta, Winston Churchill, and statesmanship?
00:32:29.000These are free of charge, amazingly rigorous courses that will get you to appreciate the country, what it means to be a human being, where our rights come from at charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:33:08.000These courses can be downloaded, they could be podcasts, and there's little tests after them to make sure that you are comprehending what you are learning.
00:33:16.000And about after 10 courses, you get your certificate.
00:33:19.000It's one of the coolest feelings in the world.
00:33:20.000You feel like you are retaining that knowledge and you have a better understanding of what's happening in America.
00:33:42.000Here's the total numbers of the this is from the new census data.
00:33:47.000The report marks the first time the absolute number of white people who identify as white alone has shrunk since a census started being taken in 1790.
00:33:56.000The number of people identifying as non-Hispanic white and no other race dropped by 5.1 million people to 191.7 million, a decrease of 2.6%.
00:34:11.000Now, I find this a little misleading, and I'll tell you why.
00:34:15.000I think there is one piece of this that people are overlooking.
00:34:20.000There was a significant increase, this is from Politico, in the number of Americans who identified as multiracial.
00:34:26.00033.8 million Americans, up from 9 million in 2010, with at least some of the change attributed to how the Census Bureau asked questions on race.
00:34:36.000Now, I can tell you, living in California, there's a lot of people walking around that you might just assume would be white.
00:34:42.000And then you ask them, and it's like, oh, well, no, you're part Persian or you're part Hispanic.
00:34:49.000See, it's funny because that to me becomes a distinction, a difference without a distinction, basically, or a distinction without a difference.
00:34:57.000But so that's one sort of area that I would just say, hey, you know, take a look there.
00:35:03.000The other thing that I want to highlight is this idea of the fact that, according to the census, the city is becoming more diverse, more city-centered, and slightly older, although not too much.
00:35:20.000So this is what they're basically saying: is that this demographic change bodes well for the Democrats.
00:35:28.000However, and even the Democrats are saying this, they are noting caution, and they should.
00:35:32.000And here's why, because conservatives still control the redistricting process in key battleground states.
00:35:41.000And so actually what's happening is this increase of the Latin population, Hispanic population, is actually going to give greater numbers to conservative-controlled states in the Sunbelt.
00:35:52.000Now, that might be a temporary hold on power if those voting trends don't come back to the Conservative Party.
00:35:58.000But this is what I'm trying to say: is that we are watching in real time Hispanics flocking the conservative movement, which is the other piece of this story, leaked audio.
00:36:45.000I know very well by hearing from Team Hastings, G4Ts, and others, how close we came to breaking, how close you came to breaking here in this sector.
00:36:55.000And it's our responsibility to make sure that never happens again.
00:37:03.000So all of these stories are connected.
00:37:05.000You have a Democrat and the left celebrating this more diverse, more Democratic-looking electorate, that finally the end of white majority in America is coming to an end soon.
00:37:18.000You have clips from 2015, then Vice President Biden celebrating this fact, although he was wrong on the timing because he's wrong on everything.
00:37:27.000And then you have a southern border led by Secretary Majorkis, DHS Secretary, admitting that the border almost broke in that sector.
00:37:50.000We are watching the stunning destruction of myriad policies in America in real time, overnight, so quickly under the Biden administration, from the border to inflation.
00:38:05.000We just had consumer sentiment hit a 10-year low, according to Breitbart.
