00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord Museman.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 The 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.
00:01:09.000 I want to get to Senator Eric Schmidt because he's been, he made some time for us this morning and want to honor that.
00:01:17.000 Welcome to the show, Senator Schmidt.
00:01:19.000 Thank you so much for making the time.
00:01:21.000 I know you're kind of juggling all kinds of obligations over there.
00:01:25.000 So you tweeted something yesterday, and I just think it's absolutely fundamentally important to the Republic.
00:01:32.000 It's called the Scam Act, especially after the events that unfolded yesterday.
00:01:37.000 Please tell our audience about it and why they should support it because I'm all in.
00:01:41.000 Yeah, look, we've effectively closed the border.
00:01:44.000 That's great success.
00:01:45.000 I think the mass migration needs to be met with mass deportations.
00:01:49.000 So there's 15 million people here that came here illegally when the Joe Biden era, and those deportations will continue.
00:01:56.000 But we also, I think, need to do something beyond that, which is begin to expand the category of people that can be denaturalized and sent back home.
00:02:06.000 Look, if you come to this country, you commit fraud, you commit a violent act, an act of terrorism.
00:02:10.000 We should have the ability in my bill, the Scam Act, with a 10-year look back to denaturalize you and get you the hell out of here. 0.99
00:02:18.000 That's how I feel about it.
00:02:19.000 And you can tell with the incidents in Austin, Old Dominion, the New York team guys who were throwing bombs.
00:02:28.000 The Michigan synagogue yesterday, the guy was naturalized.
00:02:31.000 He was from Lebanon.
00:02:33.000 So there ought to be a process because right now, a lot of people don't know.
00:02:36.000 It's just very difficult.
00:02:37.000 You almost have to commit fraud in the inducement, fraud at the moment that you are applying to become a citizen.
00:02:44.000 And of course, with that process, you sort of pledge allegiance to the country.
00:02:50.000 There's sort of a loyalty test there that's very important.
00:02:53.000 But when people come here and they abuse the system like that, we ought to be able to denaturalize them.
00:02:58.000 I filed this originally, Andrew, in the wake of the Minneapolis Somali fraud scam, right? 0.82
00:03:05.000 Because people had come here, they fleeced Americans, and they were recently naturalized citizens. 1.00
00:03:11.000 And we ought to be able to denaturalize them in that incident.
00:03:13.000 And then, of course, with terrorism, too.
00:03:15.000 Well, you know, that's exactly what I thought about.
00:03:18.000 You know, we have a problem now that is not going.
00:03:21.000 I don't think you can address it, actually, because a lot of these are sons, I guess, daughters, but mostly sons that are doing the terrorism of immigrants. 1.00
00:03:30.000 So, for example, those two young men at Gracie Mansion in New York City, those are, you know, kids that have grown up here that have gotten radicalized from, you know, online, but it's there.
00:03:41.000 We naturalize their parents. 0.96
00:03:42.000 Radicalized by their mother fellows. 0.99
00:03:44.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:03:45.000 And by the way, wasn't it actually interesting that image?
00:03:49.000 You've got some white liberal out there with a megaphone, you know, protesting, saying everybody is welcome, kind of whatever the woke slogan he was chanting.
00:04:00.000 And then two guys, two, you know, terrorists essentially leap over him to throw bombs.
00:04:06.000 I mean, it is kind of actually indicative of the problem, this sort of toxic or suicidal empathy that the left has.
00:04:13.000 They're willing to destroy our country to kind of fill some hole in their own heart.
00:04:19.000 I don't, it's dangerous for our country, and that's my concern.
00:04:23.000 I totally agree.
00:04:23.000 I want to play this clip here.
00:04:24.000 This is from November 2025.
00:04:27.000 Nick Shirley was talking to some of these young men that have been radicalized right here at home, right here in Dearborn and other places.
00:04:35.000 Cut one.
00:04:36.000 Now you have all these Islam men yelling all Akbar. 1.00
00:04:40.000 I have a question for you guys.
00:04:41.000 If America were to get into war with someone with a country like Iraq, who would you guys defend? 0.84
00:04:45.000 America or Iraq? 0.89
00:04:48.000 We won't get to war.
00:04:49.000 That's not permissible for us.
00:04:50.000 But at the same time, who would you defend first?
00:04:54.000 We would support our brothers in Iraq.
00:04:56.000 That's the only way.
00:04:57.000 So you want to defend America.
00:04:58.000 We would not defend America.
00:04:59.000 But you're American.
00:05:00.000 But at the same time, listen, at the same time, stop!
00:05:03.000 America is our country because we were born here.
00:05:05.000 But in our Islamic book, we're not allowed to fight with people that are against our religion.
00:05:10.000 So we just take up the jail time.
00:05:13.000 So you would not go to jail instead of fighting for America.
00:05:13.000 That's what we do.
00:05:18.000 So I guess that's the solution.
00:05:20.000 I mean, this is what we've imported.
00:05:22.000 Those are your neighbors.
00:05:23.000 Those are your fellow citizens. 1.00
00:05:25.000 I don't even know what to make of it because our immigration system has been so stupid for so long that this is the fruit. 1.00
00:05:34.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:05:35.000 We don't have just a, I think I've been saying, you guys have been saying it.
00:05:39.000 I know Charlie would say it.
00:05:41.000 We don't have just an illegal immigration problem.
00:05:43.000 We have a legal immigration problem.
00:05:45.000 And I'll give you two examples.
00:05:47.000 The H-1B program, which has been used by corporate interest essentially to displace American workers.
00:05:55.000 The biggest lie that was ever told was that we didn't have American workers who could do these jobs.
00:05:58.000 By the way, these are like computer tech jobs, right?
00:06:01.000 And so what they'll do is, and Microsoft did it just a few months ago, they'll literally lay off thousands of American workers, not because they don't have workers to do the jobs.
00:06:11.000 Those are the ones they're firing, to import foreign labor that's cheaper and more compliant because in order to be here, the company has to attest for their temporary visa.
00:06:20.000 Meanwhile, the American workers have to suffer the humiliation of training their foreign replacements whose only skill they have that they don't have is that they're willing to take less money. 0.86
00:06:29.000 The other one is the OPT program, which has become like a visa mill for universities, guys, where they bring in foreign students, displacing American students, and the universities go along with it because they get full freight.
00:06:42.000 They pay full tuition and more as opposed to an in-state tuition for an American kid.
00:06:46.000 And then companies that hire them for a year or two get the benefit of not paying taxes on that worker.
00:06:52.000 So we have a legal immigration problem in the sense that we're encouraging and creating incentives for American workers and students to be displaced, and we have to change that.
00:07:00.000 I want to play a couple clips from Charlie himself talking about this about fixing legal immigration.
00:07:08.000 Play SAT 10.
00:07:10.000 We must be unafraid to tell the truth about legal immigration.
00:07:14.000 Stop it.
00:07:14.000 Net zero immigration moratorium.
00:07:17.000 And be unafraid of the words that they will call us because our greatest cities are being conquered.
00:07:22.000 SAT 11.
00:07:24.000 The fight, the future, the energy is going to be on who do we legally let into America. 0.91
00:07:32.000 That is the question.
00:07:34.000 CK was all over this.
00:07:36.000 Yep.
00:07:36.000 Yeah, look, we saw, we had a hearing on birthright citizenship this week, too.
00:07:41.000 There's basically this birth tourism where Chinese will pay, Chinese individuals will pay to have their, have a woman come here for a week, give birth, fly back. 0.83
00:07:50.000 There's a million and a half quote unquote American citizens that are being educated by the CCP in China that can come back to the United States.
00:07:56.000 This thing's broken.
00:07:57.000 Charlie's right.
00:07:59.000 This is the fight, and we have to be unafraid of what people are going to call us.
00:08:02.000 Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:08:03.000 He did an ex-poll, by the way, 225.
00:08:05.000 Throw this up.
00:08:06.000 This was about 90% in favor of it.
00:08:10.000 225, if you've got that image.
00:08:13.000 About 90% in favor of this.
00:08:14.000 Check this out, though, Senator Schmidt.
00:08:17.000 We did the poll at Amfest in December.
00:08:20.000 So basically less than three months ago, 226, it came out the exact same, 89.5% in favor of an immigration moratorium.
00:08:29.000 Yeah, the polling I've seen also on deportations, right?
00:08:32.000 The American people don't just support deporting, you know, criminal aliens who are here. 0.99
00:08:37.000 They also just believe in we saw 15 million people come here illegally, and we ought to deport those too.
00:08:43.000 And I think what you're what you really, if you want to peel the veil back on what this whole DHS funding and ICE thing is with the Democrats if they've shut down Homeland Security, they lost at the polls in 2024.
00:08:54.000 They brought in 15 million people.
00:08:56.000 They thought that this was the reality everybody was going to have to live with.
00:09:00.000 President Trump ran on a central plank was addressing that issue and mass deportations.
00:09:07.000 They lost there.
00:09:08.000 And so now what they want to do is that basically have mass amnesty by kneecapping ICE so they can't continue their mission for deportations that President Trump won on.
00:09:18.000 So I think the 15 million people here illegally was the Democrats wanted to create a problem so big that the only solution that people could wrap their head around was mass amnesty.
00:09:29.000 And now that the American people rejected that, their only solution is to defund an agency whose job is to enforce our federal immigration law.
00:09:36.000 So it's a sick ideology.
00:09:39.000 The Democrats have totally lost their way.
00:09:41.000 I mean, if you listen to a speech from Bill Clinton not that long ago, he sounds like a Republican on this point.
00:09:45.000 Now they've been totally radicalized with this open borders and this toxic empathy.
00:09:50.000 And I think at the end of the day, guys, they know they've lost the case of the American people.
00:09:55.000 And their only way that they can hold on to power or gain power is by having a new group of people here that they can make them beholden to.
00:10:04.000 So it's crazy.
00:10:06.000 Yeah, I mean, reiterate for the audience, Senator, the Scam Act, because I think you made this point.
00:10:12.000 I think you said it well.
00:10:13.000 You said, first the Save Act, Save America Act, then the Scam Act.
00:10:18.000 So what would the Scam Act actually do?
00:10:20.000 And how do we support you in this effort?
00:10:23.000 So deport, or I'm sorry, denaturalization is hard to do right now.
00:10:28.000 It's pretty rare.
00:10:29.000 This would expand the category by which you can denaturalize somebody.
00:10:33.000 If they commit welfare fraud, if they're, you know, have an aggravated felony, if they're a violent criminal, if they, if they're, you know, convicted of espionage, if they join a cartel, a form of a foreign terrorist organization or engage in terrorism, you have a 10-year look back from when they were naturalized, and you can denaturalize them and send them home.
00:10:54.000 Right now, you can't do that.
00:10:55.000 Once somebody becomes a citizen, it's very hard to ever do that.
00:10:59.000 You have to prove some sort of fraud in the inducement of fraud, how they became a citizen in the first place.
00:11:04.000 Now, there are court rulings on this, and it's importantly, we've drafted the statute that would comply with the court's ruling that you tie this back to their initiative, their original fraud of saying, I'm going to be loyal to the United States and all that sort of thing.
00:11:16.000 So the Scam Act is very important. 0.75
00:11:18.000 If we're serious about this, if we're serious about taking on abuses with legal immigration, not just H-1B, not just OPT, but when people do things like they did in Minneapolis or you see what happened at Old Dominion, there's a mechanism by which not just that we can prosecute them, but that we can ultimately denaturalize them and get them out of here. 0.90
00:11:37.000 So I have a question.
00:11:38.000 Maybe Blake has Blake's my, he's not a lawyer, but he's paid to be one on TV.
00:11:44.000 You are a lawyer.
00:11:45.000 You are a great lawyer in Missouri.
00:11:47.000 This is why I love this question for you because you're crafting this in such a way that it will hold legal muster.
00:11:53.000 But I'll just be honest, emotionally, I'm watching what happened at OD.
00:11:57.000 I'm watching what happened in Michigan.
00:12:01.000 I don't care if it's 10 years or 15 years or 100 years.
00:12:04.000 Get that guy out of here. 0.96
00:12:06.000 Lock him up, throw away the key. 0.97
00:12:07.000 Like, if you're sympathizing with ISIS, I don't care if it's 10 years or 50. 0.98
00:12:12.000 You don't belong here.
00:12:13.000 So that's my final question to you there, sir.
00:12:16.000 Yeah, look, we're trying to get.
00:12:18.000 Look, I'm not big on a lot of people just file things to have like be able to message it and say, hey, look at this.
00:12:24.000 I filed this bill even though they know it's not going to go anywhere.
00:12:26.000 That's not me.
00:12:27.000 That's not why I get into this.
00:12:29.000 You know, when I was AG, we fought back and we won a lot of those big cases.
00:12:29.000 I got into this.
00:12:33.000 And that's why I ran for the Senate.
00:12:34.000 So this would hold up.
00:12:36.000 Would I like for it to be longer, of course?
00:12:38.000 But we want this thing to actually have some teeth to be upheld by the court.
00:12:42.000 And right now, we don't have really a way to denaturalize.
00:12:44.000 This would give us a route to get rid of these bad folks.
00:12:46.000 To me, it just seems so straightforward.
00:12:48.000 I always find it aggravating that we would bring these giant bills and they get held up and everything.
00:12:52.000 Because to me, it should be such a straightforward political win to have the Senate be voting on a bill and it says, if you commit terrorism, you can have your citizenship revoked and force Democrats to filibuster it, force them to vote no on it, and then run on that.
00:13:05.000 I want every single one to say this guy voted in favor of keeping citizenship for ISIS supporters. 0.96
00:13:05.000 Yeah. 0.96
00:13:05.000 Run. 0.96
00:13:11.000 It should be really straightforward.
00:13:13.000 I'm always so confused.
00:13:14.000 100%.
00:13:15.000 And that's what, I mean, Save America Act, right?
00:13:18.000 We want to get that done and make the Democrats make an argument against it, right?
00:13:23.000 Who doesn't think you should have to prove you're a U.S. citizen to vote?
00:13:26.000 Who doesn't think you shouldn't have to show an ID like you do when you check into a hotel room to vote?
00:13:32.000 These are big issues.
00:13:33.000 And by the way, they'll matter in important states like Georgia, where John Osoff parades around like a moderate.
00:13:39.000 It's hard to act.
00:13:40.000 It's hard to actually portray yourself as a moderate when you voted against all these 80-20 issues.
00:13:44.000 I agree with you.
00:13:45.000 I think we need to be aggressive and we need to play offense.
00:13:48.000 Well, you know, Senator Schmidt, you might need a new job than Senate leader, but that's just.
00:13:55.000 You don't want it.
00:13:56.000 No thanks.
00:13:56.000 Never mind.
00:13:57.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:13:58.000 Senator Eric Schmidt, Scam Act.
00:14:00.000 We all need to get behind it.
00:14:01.000 It's huge.
00:14:02.000 It's so important.
00:14:03.000 And while we're at it, let's get a net zero moratorium on the books, but we can wish.
00:14:09.000 Thank you, sir.
00:14:10.000 Thank you for making the times more flexible with that.
00:14:11.000 Thank you, guys.
00:14:12.000 Thank you.
00:14:13.000 Your reaction to it, I think he makes a good point.
00:14:17.000 It has to stand up to legal muster.
00:14:18.000 But emotionally, we don't ever want cartoon bills.
00:14:21.000 You don't want something that's going to get blown up by a Supreme Court.
00:14:24.000 That is whatever frustrations we have basically on our side.
00:14:28.000 But we should be very eager and ready to propose restrained bills that clearly make the situation better and that it's indefensible for Democrats to vote against.
00:14:39.000 I've told this story a few times, but U.S. federal law still lets you bring in child brides to get a green card for marriage.
00:14:46.000 And I would love to have our government voting on that.
00:14:49.000 I think that could be a one-page bill where you amend it and you say, actually, there's an age floor for that sort of thing.
00:14:56.000 And so similar to this, it's just, I feel, I love his bill and the different parts of it.
00:15:01.000 I'd practically wonder if you could break that into pieces.
00:15:03.000 You could have a one-page bill that says, like, okay, you can get denaturalized for terrorism offense.
00:15:08.000 Yeah.
00:15:08.000 And why is our Senate not pulling that immediately to the floor?
00:15:11.000 And like, there's all this committee nonsense that goes on in the Senate.
00:15:14.000 Streamline that.
00:15:14.000 Change the rules so that on something like that, you can bring it up to you don't need to waste a month on something when it is a straightforward change to the law.
00:15:23.000 That's my point of view.
00:15:26.000 You know, we spend a lot of time on this show talking about culture, about why strong families matter, why values matter, why faith matters.
00:15:37.000 But here's something practical.
00:15:39.000 If you actually want to build a strong family someday, you have to start by meeting someone who shares those same convictions.
00:15:46.000 And in today's dating culture, that's not always easy.
00:15:49.000 A lot of apps are built around casual connections, instant gratification, no long-term vision.
00:15:54.000 And that's just not what many of you are looking for.
00:15:57.000 Let's be honest.
00:15:58.000 That's why I like what Upward is doing.
00:16:01.000 It's a dating app designed around faith and shared values.
00:16:04.000 People who care about commitment, integrity, marriage, and family.
00:16:08.000 You're starting from common ground instead of trying to negotiate your core beliefs three months into a relationship.
00:16:14.000 That kind of clarity matters.
00:16:16.000 If faith is central to your life, or even if it's something that shaped how you were raised and how you see the world, Upward connects you with people who take that seriously.
00:16:25.000 If you're tired of the confusion and you're ready to date with intention, with marriage and family in mind, download Upward and start building on the right foundation because strong relationships don't just happen by accident.
00:16:38.000 They start with shared values.
00:16:40.000 Upward.
00:16:44.000 I'm going to play a cut here because it's just, we've got Ayal Jacobi coming on in just a second.
00:16:53.000 I think he's almost ready.
00:16:54.000 But here, you got to see this.
00:16:55.000 With the left over the shootings yesterday and the attacks, it's just amazing what they're saying.
00:17:01.000 Play Sot 3.
00:17:02.000 This is a national sickness.
00:17:04.000 We live in a country where people care more about guns than they care about six-year-old children.
00:17:10.000 They care more about guns than they care about synagogue worshipers. 0.98
00:17:13.000 And they care more about guns than they do about college students.
00:17:17.000 And until there is the political will to break the spell of the cult of gun absolutism, you will see more incidents like this.
00:17:26.000 If you're looking for somebody to blame, don't look at anybody up here.
00:17:30.000 Look at our lawmakers who don't have the courage to implement sensible gun control measures.
00:17:36.000 Ayal Yacobi joins us now.
00:17:39.000 Ayal, I hope you heard that clip.
00:17:40.000 That's the Soros-backed Virginia attorney, Rahman Fatahi.
00:17:46.000 And he's blaming guns for what happened yesterday.
00:17:50.000 Your reaction.
00:17:51.000 I just find it confusing that he's blaming guns when there was an explosive-filled vehicle that was rammed into the synagogue yesterday.
00:17:57.000 And so I think, you know, they love to blame guns, but in this situation, it was actually an explosive-filled vehicle that did the damage.
00:18:04.000 Well, I think to be specific, I think he was speaking about the old Dominion attack in that, I think.
00:18:12.000 But either way, we have more clips of this.
00:18:16.000 This is Jake Tapper, who's Jewish, by the way.
00:18:22.000 He said, we don't know the this was the synagogue shooting or attack.
00:18:27.000 Yeah, go ahead.
00:18:28.000 You just picture these like some clueless FBI agent and they're like, why did you do it?
00:18:33.000 It was because of Islam, sir.
00:18:35.000 And he's like, stop speaking in riddles.
00:18:38.000 Exactly.
00:18:38.000 We had no, instantly, we reacted.
00:18:40.000 We were like, we knew the motivation.
00:18:42.000 Soph four.
00:18:43.000 To be crystal clear, we do not know the motivations of the attacker, this would-be mass murderer of Jews.
00:18:49.000 We don't know their political views, but the Overton window, the measure of acceptable discourse, has opened to some of the most hateful anti-Semitic voices out there on the left and the right.
00:19:02.000 We don't know the motive.
00:19:02.000 I mean, it might have been animal rights.
00:19:04.000 Yeah, it might have been, you know, it might have been protesting a parking ticket.
00:19:07.000 Ayal, we've got just a short little bit in this segment left, but 10 seconds to you.
00:19:13.000 Did you instantly know the motive or did you, were you guessing?
00:19:16.000 I think after the Austin shooting, the IED attack in New York City, the Dominion shooting, and then another car ramming, I think it becomes obvious what the ramming is when it's four different incidents in a single week alone.
00:19:27.000 It's a mystery.
00:19:30.000 The world may never know.
00:19:32.000 I know.
00:19:32.000 This is why we can't have nice things is because, you know, we're just completely hampered by part of the country that's brain dead.
00:19:39.000 Ayal Yacobi, he's a political commentator.
00:19:42.000 You can find him on X. He's got a great, he's a great follow at EY or E Yacobi.
00:19:48.000 So, Ayal, tell us about yourself.
00:19:51.000 You know, we're still getting to know each other, but you are a great follow.
00:19:56.000 You are very plugged in.
00:19:58.000 Tell our audience about yourself.
00:20:00.000 Yeah, first of all, thank you for having me on the show.
00:20:02.000 Andrew, great to speak to you again.
00:20:03.000 Blake, great to meet you.
00:20:05.000 I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania two years ago during my senior year.
00:20:10.000 I was on campus for the pro-Hamas anti-ICE protests.
00:20:15.000 And throughout college, I knew that there was this communist dogma that was being superimposed onto students.
00:20:21.000 And it really came to light, in my opinion, my senior year.
00:20:24.000 I testified before Congress twice.
00:20:27.000 I've spoken with President Trump about the rising radicalism on college campuses.
00:20:32.000 I've worked closely with the administration, with congressional committees.
00:20:36.000 And my focus has really been to restore academic excellence to the United States rather than DEI communism and Islamism. 0.98
00:20:44.000 Well, you're doing a lot of work there, man.
00:20:47.000 I see you all over my feed.
00:20:49.000 So, you know, good on you there.
00:20:51.000 I wanted to have you on because of this clip, though.
00:20:54.000 And it ties into what we were talking about with Senator Schmidt.
00:20:57.000 And he's working on a bill called the Scam Act to deport, denaturalize even citizens and have a 10-year look back.
00:21:04.000 So if you're, you know, getting buddy-buddy with ISIS, then get the hell out.
00:21:08.000 And I'm all about it.
00:21:09.000 So, but this, this is a Dearborn Henry Ford Community College professor, Ali Akbar Shteed.
00:21:17.000 And he is.
00:21:18.000 I remember that name in the Declaration.
00:21:20.000 Right, exactly.
00:21:21.000 Sounds like a founding father.
00:21:22.000 Although, Ayal is that's I'm still struggling to say it.
00:21:25.000 I apologize, my friend.
00:21:27.000 But we're going to play this clip and get your reaction on the other side because I just found it just horrendous that these people are, they live among us.
00:21:35.000 Sat too.
00:21:36.000 Trump did a huge mistake by killing our beloved leader, Sayyid Ali Khamina.
00:21:43.000 He thought that by killing him, he's going to make the believers submit and make them hopeless.
00:21:49.000 However, we're going to continue on the path of Sayyid Ali Khaminai. 0.99
00:21:54.000 We're going to hold his blood his ideology.
00:21:57.000 We're going to learn it and teach it to our children and grandchildren.
00:22:02.000 We're going to hold his blood and his ideology and teach it to our children and grandchildren.
00:22:08.000 And of course, he's talking about how President Trump, you know, killed the supreme leader of Iran.
00:22:15.000 What do you make of this?
00:22:16.000 I make number one that if he's so obsessed with the supreme leader of Iran, he should fly there and live there under the Iranian regime. 0.94
00:22:24.000 There is absolutely zero reason that he's currently residing in the United States of America.
00:22:29.000 There's literally none. 0.88
00:22:30.000 And I think it's the same sort of ridiculousness that a lot of people have where they have this fetish for these terrorists, literal, you know, fundamentalist terrorists, but they seem to never want to live in any of these countries. 0.65
00:22:44.000 You know, you have, for instance, the queers for Palestine who are obsessed with supporting Hamas Hezbollah and the Ayatollah, and yet none of them seem to want to take vacation in any of these countries, which is just, to me, it's bizarre that if you're so obsessed with something, go live there. 0.99
00:22:58.000 There's no reason for you to be in the United States.
00:23:00.000 There is actually a great reason for them to live in the United States.
00:23:03.000 They want to conquer it.
00:23:04.000 They want to take it over.
00:23:05.000 Look at New York.
00:23:07.000 Mamdani's the mayor's mansion there is now it's a you know people are eating with their hands again in the mayor's mansion and they're sitting on rugs celebrating Ramadan there's a lot of churches around the world that have become mosques why not turn you know a mayor's mansion into one it's disgusting so I mean yeah okay So there is a reason that they're doing this, Ayal. 1.00
00:23:32.000 So, but I think you know that as well.
00:23:35.000 Let's talk about the Temple Israel attack specifically.
00:23:41.000 This was, and I'm going to play this, this cut and get your reaction to it.
00:23:45.000 This was on MS Now.
00:23:46.000 I found it pretty horrific.
00:23:49.000 They're blaming Trump because the Trump administration has not sufficiently prepared us for national security here.
00:23:57.000 Cut five.
00:23:59.000 There has been questions, real significant, meaningful questions about whether this administration has its eyes on keeping the American public safe.
00:24:09.000 It's very clear that the focus at the Department of Homeland Security and the focus from the top of many parts of this administration, including the FBI, has been on immigration enforcement, specifically immigration enforcement that leads to the maximum number of deportations.
00:24:23.000 And I don't think you could say that it has been focused on violent extremism or the possibility of terrorism.
00:24:30.000 Okay.
00:24:30.000 Listen, they're.
00:24:31.000 So these are, so they don't even point the finger at the Biden administration who let all these crazy people in, unvetted, millions.
00:24:39.000 Oh, it's Trump's fault.
00:24:41.000 When you look at what happened at Temple Israel, make it make sense for us. 0.98
00:24:46.000 I think some of these people wake up and if they like stub their toe, they're like, damn it, Trump did it to me. 0.99
00:24:51.000 It's just so ridiculous, the obsession that they have over blaming everything on Trump. 0.98
00:24:55.000 This guy who rammed his car into the synagogue came here under the Obama administration in 2011 and was naturalized again under the Obama administration.
00:25:04.000 The lack of vetting, the lack of secure borders, the lack of even basic diligence on what people are doing once they're actually in the United States.
00:25:11.000 You played that clip before of someone praising the Ayatollah.
00:25:14.000 For what reason is Dearborn, Michigan not being monitored for extremism?
00:25:18.000 These aren't talks to one or two people.
00:25:20.000 These are hundreds of people in a room that are constantly hearing over and over again that they're Hezbollah's children, that they're martyrs, that they're the next army of Khomeini.
00:25:29.000 And there was another clip I posted yesterday, actually, of a Christian resident of Dearborn going to a town council meeting and saying that he opposes that a street name in Dearborn is being named after Hezbollah.
00:25:41.000 Hezbollah, mind you, murdered 241 Marines in a Marine barracks bombing in Beirut.
00:25:46.000 And the mayor told him to get out and then he's being Islamophobic.
00:25:50.000 The stuff that's happening, we've become so desensitized to it because it's so frequent that I don't think we understand just how crazy some of this is at this point.
00:26:00.000 You have the Austin shooting, the IED attack, you have the shooting of the ROTC in Virginia.
00:26:06.000 You have the Temple Beth.
00:26:07.000 I mean, it's just, at what point do we say enough is enough and look at Europe and say, I don't actually want this to happen in the United States.
00:26:13.000 We need to take action now before it just gets untenable.
00:26:16.000 Ayal, Yacobi.
00:26:18.000 Keep it up, man.
00:26:20.000 Grateful for you making the time today.
00:26:22.000 We're going to have you on again soon.
00:26:23.000 God bless you, my friend.
00:26:24.000 Thank you guys for having me.
00:26:28.000 Hi, folks.
00:26:29.000 Andrew Colvett here.
00:26:30.000 I'd like to tell you about my friends over at YReFi.

00:27:35.000 And you come on the show and you ask us questions.
00:27:38.000 And we are welcoming Danny.
00:27:40.000 Good to be back.
00:27:40.000 Yeah.
00:27:40.000 Producer Danny's here as he was last.
00:27:44.000 You were here last week.
00:27:45.000 Yeah, I think I was.
00:27:46.000 Yeah, the days bleed together sometimes.
00:27:49.000 Really quick, before we get started, I want to throw up 229.
00:27:53.000 This is Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shaw.
00:27:56.000 He was a victim of yesterday's terrorist attack.
00:27:59.000 And, you know, he was the leader of the university's ROTC at Old Dominion.
00:28:04.000 And I just want to take a second to honor him because he was killed.
00:28:07.000 He was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Atlantic Resolve.
00:28:13.000 And as Bill Malujan said, it just makes you sick to realize that he survived those conflicts abroad and he comes home and gets killed by a terrorist here on home soil.
00:28:24.000 Somebody that never should have been walking the streets that was convicted of being an ISIS sympathizer, of terrorist sympathizer.
00:28:33.000 And for some reason, he was out on the streets.
00:28:36.000 And so our hearts go out to him and his family.
00:28:40.000 And, you know, it's just an awful sound.
00:28:44.000 Another person who had a great life and was a great American hero.
00:28:48.000 And it was cut short because we have politicians who hate America and hate America's people and endlessly put them last.
00:28:57.000 Yep.
00:28:58.000 Absolutely.
00:29:00.000 So let's get to our first question on that note.
00:29:03.000 Let's go to Anthony.
00:29:05.000 Welcome back, Anthony.
00:29:06.000 Happy Friday.
00:29:07.000 Happy Friday, guys.
00:29:09.000 How are you all doing?
00:29:10.000 We're doing all right.
00:29:11.000 Yesterday was pretty awful, but with all those attacks, but here we are.
00:29:15.000 Yeah, I would agree with you.
00:29:17.000 So this is an odd question, and I don't know if you guys can point me in the right direction.
00:29:23.000 Back last week, my local planning board, one of the groups looking to propose a cell phone tower, brought up Maha when saying, you know, about health and everything, that the tower doesn't really give off radiation, and the Maha movement doesn't know what they're talking about.
00:29:43.000 And I know people are concerned about this.
00:29:46.000 So my question now is to you guys, how can I get some information or does like Maha have an email I can send something to maybe get some information from them about this?
00:29:58.000 Because this major company said that that group doesn't know anything.
00:30:03.000 So I'm not an expert on cell phone towers.
00:30:06.000 I can tell you that they look hideous, even the ones that are dressed up like trees and things like that.
00:30:12.000 So I'm a bit of a NIMBY when it comes to cell phone towers.
00:30:16.000 I'm not a good guy to ask about Maha.
00:30:18.000 Blake thinks everything is an expert.
00:30:20.000 I'm a big Blake thinks everything is like woo-woo.
00:30:24.000 He's a woo-woo guy. 0.99
00:30:25.000 And Blake will eat seed oils till the cows come home.
00:30:30.000 You know, they say, so I'm just looking it up here, though.
00:30:32.000 Cell phone towers emit radio frequency RF radiation, a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation used for wireless communication.
00:30:42.000 The companies involved in this say that it's safe.
00:30:45.000 All I know is I've had a lot of people tell me, don't put your phone up to your ear.
00:30:50.000 Well, use speakerphone or whatever.
00:30:53.000 It's funny because if you go to different communities, like I don't know if it's as common anymore, but for a long time it was common for Asian communities to believe that power lines were really dangerous.
00:31:03.000 So you could get a cheaper house.
00:31:05.000 I've heard that one.
00:31:08.000 Korea, there used to be a big urban legend that if you were in a room with a fan, it could cause you to die.
00:31:14.000 So you shouldn't be in an enclosed room with a fan.
00:31:17.000 It would kill you overnight.
00:31:19.000 And they would even have automatic shutoffs.
00:31:21.000 Blake is, yeah.
00:31:22.000 Well, okay, it sounds silly to us, but then you probably, I wouldn't be surprised if in China they share funny stories where like Americans think the cell phone tower will be used to mind control them or something. 0.62
00:31:32.000 So it says, this is a study I'm looking at.
00:31:35.000 It says, overall, while regulatory bodies maintain that cell tower radiation is not harmful at typical distances, for example, a few hundred meters away, where exposure drops sharply, ongoing research and some evidence point to potential risks that warrant further investigations, particularly for long-term continuous exposure.
00:31:54.000 But here's what I'm going to do, Anthony.
00:31:56.000 I am going to contact Alex Clark on your question about this and see if she has any good resources.
00:32:04.000 And we'll email you back.
00:32:05.000 And if it's newsworthy enough, we'll talk about it on the show.
00:32:08.000 I've been planning on getting Alex on with us.
00:32:10.000 So maybe we can do it then as well.
00:32:12.000 You can also let her know this.
00:32:14.000 They're putting it actually right next to one of our massive apple farms.
00:32:18.000 Oh, interesting.
00:32:19.000 So is there an agricultural impact?
00:32:21.000 Yeah.
00:32:22.000 That's what some people are trying to wonder.
00:32:24.000 And there's red, it's on the corner of like the northwest corner of my county, like right before the next county.
00:32:30.000 There's a massive apple farm there that's on both sides.
00:32:34.000 And there's normal houses because it rides right on Lake Ontario.
00:32:38.000 And I'll tell you the company.
00:32:39.000 It's Verizon.
00:32:40.000 I mean, lawyer for Verizon specifically mentioned Maha.
00:32:43.000 I feel like I'd be blunt.
00:32:44.000 If they're worried about cell towers, I feel like it probably makes more sense to have it near apples than people if they're worried about that sort of thing.
00:32:50.000 Yeah, it does.
00:32:51.000 But there's still houses.
00:32:52.000 There's still houses.
00:32:54.000 But in the end, I guess I, as the skeptic, I like to emphasize there's a lot of people, and we can see the terminal stage of this in Europe where people will use health justifications, environmental justifications to basically push left-wing agendas that are essentially anti-civilization.
00:33:14.000 In Europe, at this point, their economy is tanking because they've essentially made electricity illegal, building new power plants illegal.
00:33:22.000 In Germany, Volkswagen is laying off thousands of workers because it's just too expensive to get the electricity to build cars.
00:33:29.000 And if you're the left, that's a smashing success.
00:33:32.000 You're getting rid of civilization.
00:33:34.000 And it's gotten to the point where China's aware of this.
00:33:37.000 We have ample evidence of Chinese agents funding environmental activism in the United States to sabotage building microchip plants, to sabotage building other infrastructure because they know it makes America weaker. 0.83
00:33:51.000 So that's my skeptical take.
00:33:54.000 I know a lot of people are much more supportive of Maha stuff.
00:33:57.000 You should talk to Alex Clark.
00:33:58.000 Yeah, you know what this reminds me of, though, is the San Francisco 49ers, how they're close to that electrical substation.
00:34:04.000 And all the players are getting injured.
00:34:06.000 And then players are like, that's why we get hurt.
00:34:08.000 Yeah.
00:34:08.000 So I mean, their entire team every year does that.
00:34:12.000 All I'm going to say is I bet the Green Bay Packers are less of that.
00:34:15.000 Yeah, they get hurt all the time.
00:34:16.000 What was that?
00:34:17.000 What was it, Anthony?
00:34:18.000 I'm a Niners fan, so yeah, I have to agree with the players on this one.
00:34:22.000 I'm just going to say the Packers are in a small city.
00:34:25.000 They still get injured all of the time.
00:34:27.000 I mean, it's football.
00:34:28.000 But the Niners.
00:34:29.000 It's football.
00:34:30.000 Well, it's the Niners.
00:34:31.000 It's their best football.
00:34:32.000 I'm going to blame cell phone towers for us losing to the Bears and the quarterback.
00:34:37.000 It's always the whiteouts. 0.91
00:34:38.000 It's always the quarterback and the whiteouts. 0.56
00:34:41.000 Anthony, good to have you back on.
00:34:43.000 Hopefully, we hear from you again soon.
00:34:47.000 I wasn't expecting this, I have to say.
00:34:49.000 But death of recess, it stopped me in my tracks.
00:34:53.000 This isn't about dodgeballs and jungle gyms.
00:34:56.000 It's about control.
00:34:57.000 The modern American classroom didn't just happen.
00:35:00.000 It was intentionally designed.
00:35:01.000 It was standardized and centralized.
00:35:03.000 And once you see who built it and who protects it, everything clicks.
00:35:07.000 Billions of dollars are flowing through education bureaucracies every year.
00:35:12.000 Test scores collapse.
00:35:13.000 And somehow the answer is always more money and less parental authority.
00:35:17.000 The documentary breaks down how organizations like the NEA amassed enormous influence, how radical gender ideology entered classrooms and why something as basic as recess, movement, freedom, childhood, you know, had to go.
00:35:31.000 That's not random.
00:35:33.000 That's systemic.
00:35:34.000 Institutions protect themselves.
00:35:35.000 They do not protect your kids.
00:35:37.000 And that's why this documentary exists on Angel Studio streaming platform, Angel Guild.
00:35:42.000 Angel Guild is willing to distribute films that challenge powerful systems when legacy media won't touch them.
00:35:49.000 So right now, go to angel.com/slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess right now.
00:35:55.000 If you're a parent or plan to be, you need to see this.
00:35:58.000 That's angel.com slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess.
00:36:04.000 All right, next question.
00:36:06.000 We've got Mick.
00:36:08.000 All righty.
00:36:09.000 So with these Islam attacks, sorry, I'm out of breath. 1.00
00:36:13.000 I was walking around.
00:36:14.000 With these Islam attacks that have happened lately, obviously Islam is not compatible with Western society, as Charlie talks about repeatedly. 1.00
00:36:24.000 And so we do need to denaturalize people who believe fully in the Quran that believes that we should kill non-Muslims. 0.96
00:36:35.000 But the problem with that is that as Islam is classified as a religion, there's a First Amendment protection.
00:36:42.000 And so how do we effectively denaturalize those citizens that do believe that we should, you know, kill the intifada, if you will, while not violating the First Amendment?
00:36:56.000 This will be litigated before the Supreme Court.
00:36:59.000 Absolutely.
00:37:00.000 And I mean, it's tough.
00:37:01.000 I know you run, sometimes you'll see the take that Islam is not really a religion.
00:37:06.000 It's a political ideology.
00:37:07.000 I see where it comes from, but I will be blunt.
00:37:10.000 It is a religious system by any reasonable standard.
00:37:15.000 And America, as you're correct, America has freedom of religion.
00:37:19.000 America has free exercise of religion.
00:37:21.000 It's not a good thing if we suddenly are trying to carve out an exception where we just say this one, actually, we can ban this one because who knows what that could be used against next, certainly by our enemies.
00:37:33.000 But that is not necessarily incompatible with us recognizing big picture, it's not good if America becomes more Islamic. 0.97
00:37:41.000 That we could say Muslims in America have the right to free exercise, but we've seen in the UK, in France, in Germany, that increasing the Islamic percentage of a country is bad for its long-term prospects, bad for its social harmony, bad for Western civilization. 1.00
00:37:58.000 And we should avoid continuing to engineer that.
00:38:01.000 And so, as you say, first of all, we don't need to pass a lot denaturalizing all Muslims.
00:38:07.000 The guy we just had on in the first hour, the senator, his bill is to denaturalize people who support terrorism, who get involved in terrorism and welfare fraud and all of that.
00:38:17.000 And certainly with support for terrorism, that's going to be targeting the people who are most likely to embrace Islamic radicalism.
00:38:27.000 And as we've seen with some of the groups that are involved in a lot of welfare fraud, that's also some of the groups driving the Islamization of America. 0.99
00:38:33.000 So go after the crimes.
00:38:34.000 And if that has a collateral effect, that doesn't mean the law itself is unconstitutional.
00:38:40.000 But also we can just say, okay, we're going to adjust our immigration policies either by cutting immigration overall or changing which countries we accept it from to avoid increasing the Muslim percentage of the United States. 0.99
00:38:51.000 We can do all of these things without violating the Constitution, without getting rid of freedom of religion.
00:38:58.000 We are, in fact, allowed to say and prioritize that, okay, even if we have freedom of religion, we should keep America more Christian in its identity.
00:39:06.000 We should not have America become an Islamic country. 1.00
00:39:10.000 All of those things are compatible with the First Amendment.
00:39:12.000 And we should, as a result, because it's possible to do that, we should avoid passing maybe bills that feel emotionally satisfying but are unconstitutional.
00:39:22.000 You don't want someone to come out and just say, oh, we're going to ban all mosques or we're going to ban Islamic practice because then, yeah, you are just asking to get smacked down by the court.
00:39:32.000 Do the things that we very easily can do without violating the Constitution that will produce a lot of good long-term benefits.
00:39:38.000 Yeah, I agree.
00:39:39.000 Ask follow-up.
00:39:40.000 Yeah, please do.
00:39:42.000 So I guess my follow-up is, you know, how do we build a coalition around that?
00:39:46.000 We can say, we can say these things that, oh, we just want to get the terrorists out. 0.98
00:39:50.000 But I think the left will be, well, try and, you know, call our bluff and say, no, you just want to get rid of all Muslims. 0.97
00:39:56.000 I think a lot of you have to be fearless. 0.97
00:39:59.000 The answer is you have to be fearless.
00:40:00.000 We're seeing this in Europe where for a long time they lived in fear, but way more people are actually just having the courage to step up and say, look in the UK, for example.
00:40:09.000 They say, well, we can look at London.
00:40:10.000 We can look at Birmingham.
00:40:11.000 We can look at Manchester. 1.00
00:40:13.000 These cities have Islamically motivated rape gangs. 1.00
00:40:16.000 They're having Sharia start creeping into their schools. 1.00
00:40:19.000 They're changing school policy where you can't offend Muslims, even though they're still a small minority of the overall country.
00:40:25.000 And people are just standing up and saying, we don't have to support this.
00:40:29.000 We can oppose this.
00:40:30.000 You can call us racist or bigots.
00:40:32.000 And actually, we don't care because there is nothing wrong with what we are advocating.
00:40:37.000 Well, and by the way, Nigel Farage and Evans UK, they are going to win a majority if the election was held today, they would win.
00:40:46.000 And so that fearlessness is working in Europe.
00:40:49.000 And we just need to have that same fearlessness in the U.S.
00:40:51.000 The willingness to speak up, as Charlie did, as others are doing, has that ability to engineer its own coalition.
00:40:58.000 A lot of the reason these coalitions don't exist is because people were afraid to create it, in my opinion.
00:41:02.000 Yeah, go ahead, Danny.
00:41:03.000 Well, we saw this with like the transgender debate and how that came around with Matt Walsh and all that.
00:41:08.000 We see it.
00:41:09.000 It's a great point.
00:41:10.000 Yeah, the illegal immigration now, how that's fully won Trump the election.
00:41:14.000 So these issues, you can grow a coalition by speaking up and actually bringing it to the floor.
00:41:19.000 Transgenderism is so great.
00:41:20.000 Yeah, everyone was terrified to say it.
00:41:22.000 And we needed a little bit of a push.
00:41:23.000 We needed more free speech platforms.
00:41:25.000 So we owe Elon Musk a lot on that front.
00:41:28.000 But once it became possible for people to speak up honestly, it was really difficult to contain an idea that a lot of people were very ready to agree with.
00:41:36.000 There's a thing called a preference cascade.
00:41:38.000 Sometimes everyone is against something until finally one person steps up and says the other thing.
00:41:44.000 And that gives the next person the courage to say, oh, I actually agree with Trump on one issue.
00:41:49.000 Yeah.
00:41:49.000 And once there's two people who do it, now there's 10 people.
00:41:51.000 And once there's 10, you get the next 15.
00:41:53.000 And that continues until you actually have a majority of the country behind something.
00:41:57.000 Yeah, I agree with Blake.
00:41:58.000 You have to do it respecting the Constitution.
00:42:01.000 But guess what?
00:42:02.000 We don't want any more Muslim immigration. 1.00
00:42:05.000 I'm saying it. 0.98
00:42:05.000 So let's stop the bleeding, first of all. 0.98
00:42:07.000 The second thing I would say is go into every mosque that's radicalizing young men. 1.00
00:42:11.000 Go into every website that's radicalizing young men to commit acts of terror into ISIS sympathizing websites.
00:42:17.000 Block them all.
00:42:18.000 Block them. 0.92
00:42:19.000 I don't care what you got to do.
00:42:21.000 You prosecute where you can.
00:42:23.000 Absolutely.
00:42:26.000 Hi, folks.
00:42:27.000 Andrew Colvett here.
00:42:29.000 I'd like to tell you about my friends over at YReFi.
00:42:31.000 You've probably been hearing me talk about YReFi for some time now.
00:42:35.000 We are all in with these guys.
00:42:37.000 If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call.
00:42:43.000 Maybe you're behind on your payments.
00:42:45.000 Maybe you're even in default.
00:42:47.000 You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore.
00:42:49.000 WhyReFi will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay.
00:42:54.000 They tailor each loan individually.
00:42:56.000 They can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.
00:43:01.000 We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.
00:43:07.000 Many of them don't even know how much they owe.
00:43:09.000 WhyReFi can help.
00:43:10.000 Just go to yrefi.com.
00:43:12.000 That's the letter why then refi.com.
00:43:16.000 And remember, whyReFi doesn't care what your credit score is.
00:43:19.000 Just go to yrefi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
00:43:25.000 All right.
00:43:26.000 I'm going to read some of your emails here real quick.
00:43:28.000 Aaron says I'm against cell phone towers around houses and farmlands.
00:43:31.000 Don't hurt the people and the food.
00:43:32.000 There is hazardous effects.
00:43:35.000 Vernon says he's a 5G, is modifying the way people act.
00:43:38.000 We can ignore it now and suffer the consequences.
00:43:41.000 I agree with that.
00:43:42.000 5G is modifying how people act because they're on their cell phones all the time and on social media all the time.
00:43:47.000 That's why he means something different.
00:43:48.000 Tammy says, yes, cell towers are very damaging to humans.
00:43:51.000 RFK has all kinds of documents and studies on the damage.
00:43:55.000 So Blake needs to do some deep research on Yandex or Free Spoke, not G.
00:44:01.000 So there's your instructions.
00:44:03.000 Mary says, Republican senators have now pledged to use a standing talking filibuster to force a vote on the Save America Act, but these 25 GOP senators still have not.
00:44:12.000 Call them out.
00:44:12.000 Yes, leave a message.
00:44:14.000 You should call them out.
00:44:16.000 Barroso, Bozeman, Shelley Moore Capito, Tom Cotton, Susan Collins, Kevin Kramer, Mike Crapo, John Curtis, Steve Daines, Deb Fisher, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley, John Hoven, John Kennedy, who we just had on this week.
00:44:30.000 John Kennedy, by the way, said he's in favor of putting it in the reconciliation bill.
00:44:34.000 So there's maybe that's what some of these guys are doing.
00:44:36.000 Lankford, get him out of Congress.
00:44:37.000 For all I care, Mitch McConnell, he's on his way out.
00:44:40.000 Jerry Morin, Lisa Murkowski, Pete Ricketts, Tim Scott, John Thune, Tom Tellis, Roger Wicker, Todd Young.
00:44:46.000 If your senator is on that list, please call them ASAP.
00:44:50.000 David says we should not allow dual citizens. 1.00
00:44:52.000 I actually agree.
00:44:53.000 Totally agree.
00:44:55.000 Go all in for America or don't go in at all.
00:44:58.000 Just leave.
00:44:58.000 Go to the other one.
00:45:00.000 What else do we got here?
00:45:03.000 So basically, Jax has a point.
00:45:06.000 He says any religion that justifies murder is a cult.
00:45:10.000 So he doesn't think it should qualify.
00:45:11.000 I think that would be legally dubious to try and classify Islam as a cult.
00:45:18.000 I don't know.
00:45:18.000 I don't think that necessarily has clear legal distinctions.
00:45:23.000 I mean, you can't just do illegal things just because your religion calls you to do it.
00:45:28.000 You aren't allowed to do murder.
00:45:29.000 You aren't allowed to do robbery.
00:45:30.000 You aren't allowed to do a bunch of things.
00:45:32.000 Yeah.
00:45:32.000 Just because you say your religion ordains it.
00:45:35.000 But as long as you're not doing those things, even if your religion is associated with that, we have a pretty broad freedom of religion in the United States, just like we have by far the broadest freedom of speech laws in the world.
00:45:47.000 We should protect those things.
00:45:49.000 We want to protect those things.
00:45:50.000 And one reason we should resist letting in too much Islamic immigration is because it will imperil that tradition of ours. 1.00
00:45:59.000 Because if we start having a non-stop problem of radical Islam and radical Islamic attacks, that is how you're going to end up losing freedom of religion in this country. 0.69
00:46:07.000 Your friend says, you know, he says he wants a response.
00:46:11.000 Issue is sedition and treason.
00:46:13.000 Prosecute and firing squads or work camps.
00:46:15.000 It's pretty.
00:46:16.000 Well, that's one approach.
00:46:17.000 That's one approach.
00:46:18.000 Again, we have to do what's actually doable.
00:46:20.000 Yeah.
00:46:20.000 Let's get to our next guy in the queue.
00:46:22.000 I think we have Jonathan next.
00:46:26.000 So I have two questions.
00:46:27.000 Hey, Blake, how it goes?
00:46:28.000 Howdy.
00:46:29.000 I don't know if you remember me or not.
00:46:33.000 Did we meet at America Fest or in an email?
00:46:36.000 All right.
00:46:37.000 Yes, we did.
00:46:38.000 So, yeah, my dad had a heart attack.
00:46:40.000 And actually, Charlie Kirk is the reason he's doing so well because we were so much closer to a good art hospital down in Arizona when I took him on vacation.
00:46:48.000 Where do you live?
00:46:49.000 I'm wondering, did you ever get a chance to read that email I sent you on my opposing abortion lesson and what your thoughts were on it?
00:46:55.000 I think I did.
00:46:56.000 Although, just I'll be truthful.
00:46:58.000 We do get a large number of you all.
00:47:00.000 Do you want to remind me what the key points of it were?
00:47:02.000 The key points were: basically, we need to protect innocent lives from the moment of conception.
00:47:10.000 Everyone is designed by God to have a relationship with him, and it is actually really helpful for America in terms of how we repent and how we actually bring people back to God is how we protect the unborn and restore marriage.
00:47:25.000 And that's the basic idea.
00:47:26.000 Well, I mean, obviously, I think all of us agree with that.
00:47:30.000 I think Charlie agrees with that, or Charlie obviously would agree with that.
00:47:34.000 We do need to fight for the unborn from the moment of conception because that is a human life from the beginning.
00:47:41.000 Now, we would discuss this with Charlie.
00:47:45.000 What is the best way to go about that?
00:47:47.000 Because a thing I once told Charlie that I, you know, impressed had a big effect on him is I talked about how in Canada, we've talked a lot about Canada, in Canada, the pro-life movement basically doesn't exist.
00:47:59.000 Yeah, they have a conservative party, but there's not really any party that offers a real constituency for pro-life voices.
00:48:06.000 Abortion is effectively totally unregulated in Canada.
00:48:09.000 You just, an unborn child does not exist until they come out of the mother. 0.98
00:48:15.000 And before that, you can do anything you want. 0.57
00:48:17.000 You can basically kill them up to the moment of birth. 0.98
00:48:19.000 No crime is committed. 0.99
00:48:21.000 No regulations exist.
00:48:23.000 And I've always made the point to Charlie, we have to be careful with our approach to abortion laws because we should pass the strongest laws that are capable of holding up. 0.73
00:48:35.000 If we are aggressive to the point where we just lose elections, here's what you get.
00:48:39.000 You get Democrats passing Canada-style laws, and you get squishes in the Republican Party who say, we lost because we were too anti-abortion.
00:48:47.000 We need to get these people out of the coalition.
00:48:50.000 There were people absolutely ready to do that in 2024.
00:48:53.000 If Trump had lost, they would have said, we lost because of this pro-life people.
00:48:56.000 Get them out of the coalition.
00:48:57.000 Thankfully, it didn't happen.
00:48:59.000 Thankfully, we were able to win.
00:49:00.000 We have more pro-life policies as a result.
00:49:02.000 Thankfully, we've even had in Florida and South Dakota, we had pro-abortion measures fail at the ballot box.
00:49:10.000 But I would say, and Charlie would say, I think that you do have to view this as a long war, that you have to keep doing the effort to win over other Christians, to win over non-believers on this issue, you change hearts and minds bit by bit so if you're a conservative yeah I want to be able to give a lesson on it, and I want you to review it and let me know what you think.
00:49:32.000 Okay, well, feel free to send it again, Freedom at Charlie Kirk.
00:49:35.000 We can take a look at it again.
00:49:36.000 Yeah.
00:49:38.000 I do want to flag something here just because we got a lot of emails about the cell phone towers.
00:49:43.000 Oh, man.
00:49:43.000 Yeah.
00:49:44.000 So William says, I retired as an RF engineer approving locations of cell towers.
00:49:49.000 And I said, are they safe?
00:49:51.000 He wrote back, basically, cell towers are safe because the FCC has defined safe distances for nearfield and farfield at microwave frequency distances less than three meters, nearfield, farfield, which are dependent on operating frequencies.
00:50:05.000 We found that the majority of objections to cell towers are aesthetic, not radiation.
00:50:09.000 The exposure from your kitchen microwave is more.
00:50:13.000 So that's from William, who was a guy that worked approving locations for cell towers.
00:50:19.000 That's an interesting, an interesting perspective.
00:50:23.000 I just wanted to work it in.
00:50:24.000 Who's next?
00:50:25.000 Rain.
00:50:26.000 Rain.
00:50:26.000 Rain, welcome to the show.
00:50:28.000 Please unmute yourself.
00:50:29.000 Hello.
00:50:30.000 Hi.
00:50:30.000 Welcome.
00:50:31.000 Hey, guys.
00:50:32.000 Thank you for calling on me, first of all.
00:50:35.000 Absolutely.
00:50:37.000 I called y'all before.
00:50:38.000 It was pretty shortly after Charlie's brutal assassination.
00:50:44.000 And you, I don't know if you remember, I told you about the bracelet that I was still wearing.
00:50:51.000 Yeah.
00:50:52.000 Yes, I remember you.
00:50:53.000 Yes.
00:50:53.000 Yeah.
00:50:55.000 So anyway, I want you guys to know I pray for y'all every day.
00:50:59.000 Thank you.
00:51:02.000 God, I pray for y'all.
00:51:04.000 Anyway, I just try, and I know I shared the story about my daughter, about how she was, I don't know if I can say this on air, how she was raped by the New Orleans police officer and the five long, dragged out years that it took for us to get justice and just how much I plugged into Charlie every day.
00:51:25.000 And that was definitely part of my therapy, you know, that got me through those years.
00:51:32.000 And anyway, okay, moving along.
00:51:35.000 So my question, or, you know, there's a multi-level question.
00:51:39.000 So the midterms.
00:51:41.000 Trump's win was undoubtedly due to Charlie's influence and everything that y'all did, you know, to put people, you know, if they flew in, because I had signed up.
00:51:53.000 I wanted to come to Arizona and help y'all.
00:51:56.000 And I couldn't because of my dog at the time.
00:51:59.000 I didn't have anybody to watch him.
00:52:01.000 But y'all were everywhere.
00:52:02.000 Wisconsin, Arizona.
00:52:04.000 I forget the other states.
00:52:06.000 But are you asking, are we going to do that in the future?
00:52:10.000 Yeah.
00:52:10.000 Are y'all planning to do something with the midterms?
00:52:15.000 Yeah, so I'll give you the rundown here.
00:52:18.000 So at Turning Point Action, we're already staffing up for the midterms, like all over the country.
00:52:24.000 But we're going to be focused on three main states.
00:52:26.000 And the reason, I'll explain the reason for that.
00:52:28.000 And this was Charlie's plan, by the way.
00:52:30.000 We're calling it the red wall because the way the census has shifted population to the Sun Belt, you can actually, if you bring in New Hampshire, which a lot of people don't understand has more conservatives, more registered Republicans than Democrats.
00:52:44.000 If you take New Hampshire, which, by the way, also at the state level, Blake has a lot more Republicans elected than Democrats.
00:52:53.000 You bring in Nevada, you hold Nevada, you hold Arizona.
00:52:56.000 That creates the red wall.
00:52:58.000 So not only is it going to have huge impacts in the midterms, but it's going to help us keep winning on the national level in 2028.
00:53:09.000 So we are transitioning from winter to spring.
00:53:12.000 If you are anything like me, all of a sudden you're out with your family, you're out and about.
00:53:16.000 And candidly, it's been a moment for me to reflect on what matters the most.
00:53:20.000 I realize that I have this precious gift and it's my family.
00:53:23.000 It's my kids.
00:53:24.000 I want to take care of them.
00:53:26.000 Just getting out and about has helped me realize this in a whole new way.

00:55:28.000 Who are we doing?
00:55:29.000 Do I want to do Ian?
00:55:31.000 Ian.
00:55:31.000 Ian.
00:55:32.000 Ian, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show.
00:55:33.000 Unmute yourself, please.
00:55:35.000 Hey, guys.
00:55:35.000 How you doing?
00:55:36.000 Can you hear me?
00:55:36.000 Great.
00:55:37.000 Awesome.
00:55:38.000 Well, it's been a long week, but I was just curious how I've been doing a lot of discipleship classes.
00:55:44.000 And, you know, Hillsdale's will, too, has been great.
00:55:46.000 I was just curious, how can we all be better disciples and kind of tie things back to Jesus?
00:55:52.000 Because I feel like a lot of times I'll get in a discussion with someone and I'll make my point.
00:55:56.000 I'm like, man, I could have tied that back to Jesus afterwards.
00:55:59.000 So I'm just wondering how we can all do better about that because Charlie was magnificent about that to the point where people had to ask him, without the Bible, can you defend abortion or can you defend this?
00:56:09.000 So how can we all do better like that?
00:56:12.000 Yeah, I would just say that Charlie was pretty adamant about being able to defend his positions from both a secular perspective using logic and the Socratic method.
00:56:24.000 And he was also able to do that from a biblical perspective.
00:56:27.000 So I would just say that, you know, trust the spirit, listen to the spirit.
00:56:31.000 When you feel the Holy Spirit nudging you to bring up the Lord in a specific conversation, do so.
00:56:37.000 But don't always necessarily, you don't always have to feel like you have to.
00:56:41.000 You know, I would say wait for that moment and pray about it.
00:56:45.000 Be listening.
00:56:46.000 You know, sometimes Christians can be guilty of forcing it in where it doesn't naturally fit or if it's not the right time.
00:56:53.000 And that could be, I don't know, sometimes it could be a turnoff.
00:56:57.000 But listen, I think when you're talking, Charlie did a lot of extemporaneous speaking, a lot of public addresses where he would then, it was very appropriate for him to bring it in and to weave in his faith into his speaking because that's what he was doing.
00:57:10.000 But in those interactions between folks, I would say, I don't know, Danny, what like 80% of the time he wouldn't bring it up.
00:57:17.000 You know, so it just kind of depended on the nature of that exchange if he was going to weave that weave in his faith.
00:57:24.000 It was by each person was different.
00:57:26.000 So you put based off how to go about it.
00:57:29.000 But also just you have to memorize scripture.
00:57:31.000 That was a big thing that obviously we see in all the videos that Charlie was so good at that.
00:57:35.000 But just reading the Bible and focusing on trying to memorize certain scripture or just themes in scripture will help you a lot when tying stuff back.
00:57:43.000 Yep.
00:57:43.000 Yeah.
00:57:43.000 I mean, big picture, I think about it.
00:57:46.000 Charlie was big about building habits.
00:57:48.000 And the way you get better at it is you steadily build the habit.
00:57:51.000 The same way you go to the gym more often if you make a big point of go every single day for, or, you know, go three times a week for a month straight, two months straight.
00:58:01.000 You now have that habit.
00:58:03.000 Once you start the habit, you'll stick to it.
00:58:05.000 So if you make a point where anytime you're in, you know, maybe have like a clicker in your head, something to remind you, some sort of thing to remind you, where anytime I'm in a discussion about a moral issue or a political issue, find a way to bring it back to Christ, back to the gospel.
00:58:20.000 After a while, you'll be doing it automatically.
00:58:22.000 And I would say, again, use the Socratic method. 0.92
00:58:24.000 Charlie was expert at this, where you just, you ask questions and you drill down to the core fundamental objection that somebody has or disagreement or where you feel like they're getting something wrong.
00:58:35.000 And once you get to that core motivator, that core driver, I find that more often than not, then you're getting to a moral question, right?
00:58:44.000 So you stop arguing about maybe some specific or small little minutiae.
00:58:50.000 You're getting to a core fundamental value proposition.
00:58:53.000 And then when you drill down that deep, do you find out what's really getting at them?
00:58:58.000 Then I think it becomes more fundamental.
00:59:01.000 It becomes more important to bring up where your moral drivers are, where your value foundations are coming from.
00:59:07.000 And then you bring up scripture.
00:59:08.000 You bring up the Lord.
00:59:09.000 So hopefully that helps.
00:59:11.000 Ian, thanks for your question.
00:59:13.000 We're going to go to Brandon.
00:59:14.000 Brandon, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:59:16.000 Good morning, guys.
00:59:17.000 Morning.
00:59:19.000 So my question is, it's something I wanted to ask Charlie, but I never got around to it.
00:59:24.000 And it's what are your guys' thoughts or takes on the sociological debate regarding nature versus nurture?
00:59:35.000 I have a lot.
00:59:37.000 I have quite a sum it up that people genuinely, they really, really want to believe it's almost all nurture.
00:59:46.000 I would say if you look at studies say, but if you look at a lot of the evidence that's emerged over the last few decades, it's generally been tilting more and more towards nature for a lot of things, which is actually good news.
00:59:57.000 Like I think a lot of, for example, I think a reason a lot of people don't have as many kids in the U.S. is they get obsessed with the idea that they have to do everything perfectly or it's all over for their kids.
01:00:07.000 They'll fail out of school.
01:00:08.000 They'll become drug addicts.
01:00:09.000 And actually, if you're a pretty good, responsible parent and you're married to another good responsible person, chances are the child you have will be good and responsible without you needing to kill yourselves to bring it about.
01:00:22.000 And that's generally good news.
01:00:24.000 That's a reason to have more kids. 0.97
01:00:25.000 That's a reason to be more relaxed about a lot of things.
01:00:31.000 And it also means on the end, we don't necessarily need to move heaven and earth.
01:00:34.000 Like we've got infinity programs where they say, okay, well, if we spend another $300,000, we can rehabilitate this criminal because the real problem is he was just raised in a bad home.
01:00:44.000 Nope.
01:00:44.000 Some people are just rotten.
01:00:46.000 And the best thing to do is just remove them from society. 0.98
01:00:48.000 That stinks, but that's how it is.
01:00:51.000 Yeah, I mean, I've been contemplating this question a lot.
01:00:55.000 Blake and I have had discussions offline about it.
01:00:57.000 You know, this is one of the reasons why we love and want to protect Western civilization.
01:01:01.000 We believe it's the product of thousands of years.
01:01:04.000 And it doesn't mean white people or anything.
01:01:06.000 I'm talking about the cultural upbringing of people in Western civilization.
01:01:11.000 And the fact that, you know, we had centuries with really, really strict laws, right?
01:01:16.000 Where people would, you know, they were basically killing a lot of people that stole.
01:01:23.000 If you stole a horse, if you stole, like they would literally just, we've been essentially purging the society for years of criminal elements.
01:01:33.000 And now we're getting soft on it.
01:01:34.000 And you're seeing a lot of people that basically are still on the streets that shouldn't be.
01:01:38.000 And we're seeing this with repeat offenders that shouldn't be.
01:01:42.000 I do think that, you know, as a result, like there are cultures that just succeed much better.
01:01:48.000 You see this Asian cultures are massively efficient.
01:01:51.000 And I think that you have to reject Tabula Rasa in a general sense.
01:01:58.000 And then you have to balance that with your Christian ethics.
01:02:00.000 We are all children of God and we are all made in the image and likeness of God.
01:02:04.000 So it's a bit of a balance and there's a bit of both and, but I think, Blake, I tend to agree with Blake's take.
01:02:09.000 Does that answer your question?
01:02:11.000 Yes, it does.
01:02:13.000 I know it's a sociological question and sociology gets a lot of hate, but I think that question and the, is human nature good or bad are two fundamental questions to the way of life.
01:02:27.000 Sociology could be a real field if it just had serious people do it.
01:02:31.000 It could be, there's so many interesting things in sociology.
01:02:33.000 That question, though, are people fundamentally good or bad?
01:02:36.000 A lot of people get this wrong because they, especially Christians, because they say, well, we're sinners, so we're bad.
01:02:41.000 Well, the Pope even said at one point that we're all born as good, and he, yeah, somehow The point is, God made us good, and then there was a fall.
01:02:51.000 Yep.
01:02:51.000 We were made good, then there was a fall, and that's why we have laws and locked doors.
