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 to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:02:29.000But, you know, we just have to celebrate it.
00:02:30.000I mean, listen, I said in honor of Charlie, he was a big Cubs fan, that if the Cubs were, if the Cubs had advanced to the NLCS, I would have pulled for the Cubbies.
00:05:15.000I understand if you'd resent the Dodgers because they do have more.
00:05:19.000I mean, listen, they revenued over a billion dollars this year.
00:05:22.000So, like, you know, and Charlie was a big fan of the salary cap.
00:05:26.000Listen, if that happens, obviously it's going to change the calculus of how the Dodgers do things.
00:05:30.000But, I mean, they've got like a top-rated farm system still.
00:05:33.000Even after trading away a lot of their best people, you know, to acquire some of the top-end talent, they still have the best farm system, and they still have the best international development system, the scouting system.
00:05:43.000So it's like, listen, you know, it's the Matthew principle.
00:06:58.000These activist judges unlawfully gerrymanded your congressional maps, which led to my corrupt impeachments and locked you up during COVID by closing your small businesses, schools, and churches.
00:07:07.000They let sex offenders out of prison and ruled for sleepy Joe Biden over and over and interfered in the 2020 election.
00:07:35.000So just to put the context on all of this, these are not supposed to be competitive races.
00:07:40.000The off-year gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the same year after one party wins, the White House, the Senate, and the Congress are supposed to always go to the other party.
00:07:52.000These are not supposed to be competitive elections.
00:07:54.000These are supposed to be, so if a Republican wins the White House, it's supposed to be a shoe-in for the Democrats in the next year because this is a bellwether.
00:08:02.000It's usually seen as the first check against an admin in power.
00:08:05.000By the way, after Obama, this is how we got Christie in New Jersey back in 2009.
00:08:49.000They slammed and barnstormed what you're looking at right now.
00:08:53.000And for folks who are listening, there is a drone shot.
00:08:56.000You need a drone shot to be able to cover the lines in Lakewood, New Jersey, because so many people were out there voting.
00:09:04.000And then because it was on the same day, they were leaving Lakewood at the polls and then coming over to the Turning Point Action rally where we had food and we had, and yes, I did.
00:10:46.000And so I'm here to tell you about NetSuite by Oracle.

00:12:00.000It's going to be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there.
00:12:12.000So I don't know that he's one, and I'm not a fan of Cuomo one way or the other.
00:12:16.000But if it's going to be between a bad Democrat and a communist, I'm going to pick the bad Democrat all the time, to be honest with you.
00:12:25.000So, Jack, there's been a debate about what to do for Sliwa voters in New York City.
00:12:30.000Cernovich, who's a friend of ours, is very, very adamant that it should not be Sliwa's job to drop out of the race on Cuomo's behalf or for the, you know, for Team Sanity's behalf.
00:12:51.000Bloomberg came in initially as a Republican, then as an Independent, and then de Blasio comes in, and you've had this slew of Democrats and then Adams, and now we'll see what we get, probably a communist coming up here tomorrow.
00:13:02.000So the fact that why should Republicans get the blame for Democrats running America's greatest city into the ground?
00:13:10.000From a political standpoint, though, I can also see the other side of the argument saying that, look, the entire city has been terraformed by demographics.
00:13:19.000And for all the people who say, oh, 9-11, never, you know, never forget what happened to Never Forget.
00:13:24.000The people that are voting for Zorhan Mamdani either, number one, weren't Americans on 9-11.
00:13:30.000Zorhan Mamdani wasn't even an American citizen when Donald Trump was first elected to office.
00:13:35.000They don't have anything to remember in the first place.
00:15:42.000And what's frustrating is that we've seen in the polling where if Cuomo and Sleewa would have consolidated their support, they would have beat him.
00:15:50.000And then it looked like Mamdani was just so far ahead, they couldn't even beat him.
00:15:53.000Well, this one shows that Cuomo is at 34%.
00:15:57.000He's only seven points behind Mamdani already.
00:16:39.000That is AMAC.us forward slash Charlie today.
00:16:47.000All right, so I want to get to this Trump 60 Minutes interview.
00:16:50.000I personally feel like it's not getting enough play online, and there was some really important pieces of information that were shared on this interview with Nora O'Donnell, a really interesting gal.
00:18:50.000I don't think so, but they've been treating us very badly, not only on drugs.
00:18:54.000They've dumped hundreds of thousands of people into our country that we didn't want.
00:18:58.000People from prisons, they emptied their prisons into our country.
00:19:02.000They also, if you take a look, they emptied their mental institutions and their insane asylum into the United States of America because Joe Biden was the worst president in the history of our country.
00:19:14.000All right, so Jack, this is a big issue that you've been focusing on.
00:19:18.000So why does it feel like he's kind of saying both things here?
00:19:23.000Well, so, I mean, look, when you look at the naval force that we've assembled in the Caribbean, this is quite substantial.
00:19:30.000There was basically this operational area declared around Puerto Rico.
00:19:36.000So, military exclusion zone for military operations that was declared, saying that, hey, there's a potentiality for operations here that could be coming up.
00:19:44.000And you've got an entire, again, this naval flotilla that's there, multiple destroyers.
00:19:49.000You've got an amphibious assault craft.
00:19:52.000So, you've got, which has an entire Marine Expeditionary unit on it, not big enough to launch an invasion or something like that, but a sizable complement of Marines as well as drones as fighters and the potential for U.S. special forces.
00:20:08.000There's been this story running around that the U.S. has signed off on covert operations within Venezuela.
00:20:14.000Hopefully, those are targeting the cartel leaders, which we love.
00:20:16.000I'd love to see those in Mexico as well, by the way.
00:20:19.000And Coast Guard fast attack ships all throughout the area.
00:20:23.000So, does this mean then that there's going to be, you know, people are saying that, look, we've seen a lot of, and you get a lot of this in Florida, right?
00:20:32.000There's a lot of people who have come from Venezuela, come from Cuba, they've gone to Florida.
00:20:40.000So, for the rest of the country, you're thinking, like, why is all of a sudden this pops up?
00:20:44.000But you go down to these pockets of Florida and they will, and hundreds of thousands of people, by the way, and they really, really want to get rid of Maduro, really want to, really want to get rid of the regime in Havana.
00:20:54.000And so, that is something that, you know, obviously it comes up a lot during election time.
00:20:58.000It comes up a lot during these election years where they say, hey, we've got when Castro was around, right?
00:21:03.000You know, we got to get rid of Castro, et cetera, et cetera.
00:21:05.000And then the U.S. tried with obviously no negative effect, shall we say.
00:21:10.000Here's an interesting piece of this, though.
00:21:12.000So, Maduro and Sagar and Jetty has come out and he and Charlie were good friends.
00:21:18.000And he's been doing a lot of reporting on this.
00:21:20.000And a piece that came out on his Twitter that he put up, and because Trump had said something about, oh, well, you know, Venezuela is invading the United States.
00:21:28.000And they certainly were during under the Obama administration.
00:21:32.000And that's absolutely something that was going on.
00:21:35.000However, here's what Sagar pointed out.
00:21:37.000A side story that I found in my reporting.
00:21:38.000Maduro has been irked to interlocutors of these diplomats to the claim that he invaded the United States, telling America you funded your own invasion.
00:21:48.000And he points out that it turns out that the U.S. government actually did fund a large ad campaign for Venezuelan migrants in 2023 to a large Colombian newspaper.
00:21:57.000Well, and people have to appreciate there is, you know, the diaspora of Venezuelans in the last couple of decades.
00:22:22.000And we kept asking, where's the money for all this coming from?
00:22:25.000Well, it turns out it was coming from the U.S. taxpayers that U.S. AID had a contract beginning in September 2023 and ending in July 2024 with Colombian newspaper El Pais, whose purpose was to, quote, disseminate a new narrative about the Venezuelan migrant population.
00:22:41.000The grant required the paper to document and make visible success stories of migrants accessing the formal market using formats and media regularly consulted by business groups.
00:22:50.000So basically, we paid for advertising.
00:22:54.000We, when I say we, I mean the Biden administration and Mayorkis, by the way, who, and Blake had that great tweet about him.
00:22:59.000He said, this guy, you know, I'm not sure if we can bring him up on criminal charges, but he's a traitor.
00:23:28.000By the way, just to put a pin on, like a wrap a bow around what you're saying, I mean, Mayorkis, 100% a traitor.
00:23:35.000The fact that there's not a law that we can lock him up on or may not be a law, we'll see.
00:23:40.000I think it's worth exploring the extent to which the law is capable of putting him in prison.
00:23:49.000The fact that there's not, though, is really highly concerning, and there should be one because the guy facilitated, probably on behest of the Biden administration.
00:23:56.000Who knows if it was even Joe Biden, by the way.
00:23:58.000It was probably just some of the woke staffers that he surrounded himself with.
00:24:01.000But yeah, he facilitated the large-scale invasion of the United States.
00:24:05.000Now, there's a lot of really good Venezuelan people, and there's a lot of thugs.
00:24:08.000I mean, there's a ton, a ton of gang activity.
00:24:12.000When a country falls into disrepair like Venezuela has fallen, the whole country becomes corrupt and dangerous and violent, and it ends up being run by essentially warlords.
00:24:22.000And this is where Trende Aragua came from.
00:24:25.000But what's interesting is that Trump also says he thinks his days are number, Maduro's.
00:24:31.000And so the question you might then have is: well, if we're not going to invade, how do you get rid of Maduro?
00:24:37.000Well, there's a lot of reporting that would suggest that Maduro is willing to take any sort of deal to sort of flee into exile, if you will.
00:24:48.000I mean, if you ratchet up the pressure and you put this whole flotilla off his coast and you start tightening the screws, you can get a guy like Maduro out if you want.
00:24:58.000I'm not saying we should, but I'm just saying it's very interesting that President Trump is saying, I don't think we're going to be invading.
00:25:04.000Well, let me play devil's advocate then because we've seen situations like this as well where we played the regime change game.
00:25:10.000And if you talk about Iraq, you talk about even Vietnam in the past where we tried to do this.
00:25:44.000And I mean, listen, you know, you and I talked about this last week, but Rich Barris had that polling that came out that the American people are basically fed up talking about foreign things.
00:26:44.000Well, Chuck Schumer is kind of like he's become a clown, really, of modern politics because he's so feckless and he's so controlled by the left-wing flank of his party, the EOC.
00:30:56.000This is Elon Musk chiming in why Democrats do not want to end the shutdown and why, actually, why they are digging their heels in about making sure that illegal immigrants that are under temporary protected status or whatever classification that Joe Biden just was giving out like candy at Halloween when he was president is really the deep motivator here for the Democrat Party.
00:31:19.000The reason you have this standoff is because if the hundreds of billions of dollars to create a financial incentive to have this giant magnet to attract illegals from every part of Earth to these states, if that is turned off, the illegals will leave because they're no longer being paid to come to the United States and stay here.
00:32:06.000If you've been living on this side of the aisle and doing what we do for as long as we have, that's just obvious math.
00:32:12.000That's just connecting two dots that are that are so obvious.
00:32:15.000But then you realize when Elon goes into a setting like that and Joe Rogan's mind is blown, you're like, oh, so much of the country still doesn't get the obvious truth right in front of their eyes.
00:32:25.000And if anything, if there's a silver lining at all to New York City falling to this foreign-born communist, don't do the George Will thing.
00:32:35.000No, it's not, but it's just when you see a guy who's just obviously anti-white, obviously is going to create a, he's campaigning on a two-tiered system of justice, whereby if you are affluent, if you're seen as someone who is successful, if you're upper middle class, if you're a white Christian or a male, right?
00:33:22.000We did not build this country, but we're going to move here.
00:33:24.000And then we're going to use the left-wing strategy of grievance politics to make you the villain in this whole story, even though you did nothing wrong.
00:33:32.000You were just born here working your job, raising your children.
00:33:53.000Well, you know, it reminds me of something Elon Musk said, I think on his last Joe Rogan interview, where he basically said why he bought Twitter.
00:33:59.000And there's, you know, he probably bought it for multiple reasons, but he realized that there was an ideology that normally would have stayed totally cordoned off in San Francisco that was getting piped to the rest of the world through X and Twitter.
