In this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie Kirk is joined by his good friend Miranda Devine to discuss the latest in the Eric Adams case, and to talk about the massive voter registration drive at Arizona State University and the incredible efforts of Turning Point USA to register first-time or new voters for the 2020 election. They also discuss the recent news of Eric Adams being charged with conspiracy to commit perjury, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and conspiracy against the President, Donald Trump, and other charges related to his alleged involvement in a cover-up that has been going on since before he was elected President in 2016. Charlie also talks about the incredible turnout at Turning Point Action's outdoor voter registration event on campus at ASU, and why it is so important that college students are out in the streets in 107 degree heat to register to vote in this election. Charlie finishes the show with a call to action for college students across the country to join the fight for freedom on campuses across the U.S. and take their voices into the streets to vote for Trump on November 6, 2020.

00:01:16.000We have lots to cover today, including Eric Adams being indicted.
00:01:19.000But first, I want to share some phenomenal news with you.
00:01:23.000Yesterday, we went to Arizona State University, ASU, and did a massive voter registration drive.
00:01:30.000This was brought to you by Turning Point Action and also some of the local fraternities there on campus.
00:01:37.000We were met by a crowd of thousands of students, hundreds of which wanted to register to vote for the first time for this presidential election for Donald Trump.
00:01:47.000The vibe and the energy and the spirit is off the charts, greater than anything I've ever experienced in my 12 years of doing this.
00:02:16.000Almost all just charitable, non-profit, high school, college work.
00:02:21.000But secondly, remember, it was during COVID in 2020.
00:02:24.000During this time in 2020, they wouldn't have allowed even this kind of gathering unless, of course, we were protesting, you know, anti-racism or some nonsense.
00:02:32.000No way would we be allowed to do an outdoor voter registration event four years ago.
00:02:38.000So you can kind of chalk this up to another thing that did not happen and was not happening in 2020 that is now unfolding in real time.
00:02:47.000I want to play more tape here, not just that one.
00:02:50.000The 141 is pretty amazing and we were just kind of showing that.
00:03:23.000So when I challenge you, the audience, to go register voters, that's what it is.
00:03:27.000It's going out into the streets, having face-to-face conversations, sometimes wearing your MAGA hat, and registering first-time or new voters onto the voter rolls.
00:03:37.000This is the energy that we need, and this is how we are going to win.
00:03:40.000The final tally I'm still getting from Turning Point Action, they were out there for hours in 107 degree heat.
00:03:47.000There is no excuse to sit on the sidelines anymore, anybody.
00:03:50.000Our students are out there in 107 degree heat, trying to save the country for themselves.
00:03:55.000Because they're being handed down a battered, brittle, abused, and broken nation.
00:04:01.000And these students, they want a country.
00:04:04.000They want a country where they'll be raised in.
00:04:05.000So I went into the audience and started to ask people questions.
00:04:48.000They know that they might be drafted into the military for World War III.
00:04:52.000They know they're not going to be able to own homes under Kamala Harris, which is true.
00:04:55.000They know that they can't even afford groceries.
00:04:58.000And they're wondering why is it that my parents were able to have a normal, simple American life and I'm gonna have to be a renter for the rest of my life.
00:05:09.000I'm not able to do the basic things that my parents were able to do.
00:05:14.000The reason why Donald Trump is ascendant amongst Gen Z voters and is seeing massive momentum on the ground of which we are exhibiting to you right now Is this the first time the next generation is worse off since George Washington?
00:05:28.000I want to play another piece of tape here.
00:13:54.000It does look like they did—it was not just they got whoever.
00:13:57.000Like, they say they weighted the results to reflect the demographics of the student body to the best of their ability.
00:14:03.000So they, you know, they tried some scientific methods, but it's not as randomized as, like, a Gallup poll would be.
00:14:09.000Anyway, what it found was Trump beating Harris 48% to 46%, and that's notable because, yeah, Notre Dame's a Catholic university—Catholic.
00:14:20.000But in 2020, they did a mock election.
00:14:22.000The student government did a mock election.
00:15:12.000I don't know exactly what the plans are there.
00:15:14.000I guess the student body's won when they did them, and the last time was right before the election, so they might do it when November arrives.
00:15:38.000And you can't... It's not just the fact that you're getting their votes specifically, but what this does to a lot of Democrat stuff downstream.
00:15:49.000Democrats have always been able to count on having a huge number of volunteer bodies to do a lot of their electioneering work when it approaches.
00:15:56.000They just have these young people who have tons of free time are willing to go do this.
00:16:00.000If that number has gone down, That messes with their turnout stuff.
00:16:04.000Also, Democrat get-out-the-vote has always benefited from there being so many places where if you up the turnout, it's 90% Democrat.
00:16:11.000So, you know, they've always benefited from, oh, if we just get out the vote in like this black neighborhood in a city, we don't really need to aim for Democrats because almost everyone will be a Democrat.
00:17:12.000Don't miss Dinesh D'Souza's unqualified defense of Trump based on his book, Vindicating Trump, in theaters nationwide starting Friday, September 27th.
00:17:30.000Joining us now is Miranda Devine, author of the—congratulations on the new book, Miranda, The Big Guy, How a President and His Son Sold Out America.
00:17:39.000But we're here to talk about a different potential criminal, and that is Eric Adams, the mayor of New York.
00:17:46.000So walk us through just some of the facts associated here, Miranda, and then I have a very specific follow-up question.
00:17:51.000There's a lot to do with upgrading first-class flights of Turkish Airlines.
00:18:00.000Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on charges that he allegedly took $10 million in illegal campaign contributions and bribes.
00:18:10.000And as you said, that includes, you know, free flights and various other perks from foreign nationals.
00:18:16.000And, you know, it's interesting that he's Claiming that he's been targeted by the Biden administration because he complained about, you know, the city's just really awful illegal migrant crisis.
00:18:30.000It's cost the city more than five billion dollars so far.
00:18:33.000But, you know, when you look at the indictment, these are pretty serious charges.
00:18:37.000So I guess you could say both are true.
00:18:40.000Maybe the feds would not have investigated him.
00:18:45.000If he hadn't displeased the Biden administration with his outspoken complaints, but they certainly did find something.
00:18:53.000Yeah, I guess that was going to be my question.
00:18:55.000Is that is he actually a criminal or is it because he was he spoke out a little bit too much against the regime?
00:19:03.000And look, he did speak out, but that's kind of all he did.
00:19:07.000What he was really saying was, oh, we need more money from the Biden administration to be able to accommodate all these migrants and we are a sanctuary city, etc.
00:19:18.000And I think he's tried to be, he certainly was better than Bill de Blasio, who totally destroyed the city in his two terms.
00:19:27.000But He has sort of managed to get on top of crime and homelessness slightly, but the illegal migrant crisis came on his watch and he really while he sort of thundered a little bit, he really didn't do much that was concrete apart from accommodate them and put
00:19:45.000of New York into more and more debt. And he also is a bit of a man about town. You know, he's always
00:19:51.000at Zero Bond, which is this nightclub downtown scene, comes very late. He's a real night owl and
00:19:58.000is seen with the, you know, the rich and famous. And he seems to love that, dresses beautifully.
00:20:07.000And so it's not all that surprising if these charges have any merit to see that he was, you know, allegedly taking bribes.
00:20:17.000Yeah, it definitely fits a pattern of someone who enjoys, let's just say, the high life of New York City.
00:20:23.000He's commonly known, as you say, going to bars and clubs and hanging around.
00:20:28.000And so, just how chaotic has his administration been?
00:20:33.000Has he run this like a Tammany Hall, well-known, you know, Iron Fist mayor?
00:20:40.000Or is it kind of more of a guy that enjoys the trappings of being mayor and his office is kind of a mess?
00:20:45.000It's really Eric Adams and his entourage.
00:20:48.000He just has these pals that sort of look relatively shady and they travel around with him and they go to these restaurants and, you know, dress slick like he does.
00:21:00.000And it doesn't seem to be Tammany Hall organised, I'll say that.
00:21:05.000And you can see how his Associates have just been falling like kingpins lately.
00:21:10.000There have been, I think, six resignations, as I said.
00:21:16.000The police commissioner and then even the interim police commissioner just got raided last weekend.
00:21:26.000So there seems to be a lot of rot in his administration and certainly there's ample evidence for the Feds to go after whether or not, I mean they're all innocent until proven guilty, but and whether or not they amount to anything.
00:21:41.000I don't think that Eric Adams can get away with just saying, oh, I'm being targeted because, you know, I spoke up for the city of New York.
00:21:49.000You know, there's a hell of a lot of smoke here.
00:23:03.000That seemed like it was a deliberate way of stopping him from coming to Washington and being a trouble to Biden.
00:23:14.000I have no proof of this, but what it seems to me, just the pattern, the way that the FBI has been weaponized by the Biden administration to go after Joe Biden's political enemies, that it looks as if Eric Adams was deemed a political threat.
00:23:40.000They started searching and then they found a whole lot of dirt and the Southern District has come in and prosecutors probably acting completely honestly and above board as they would with any person Who's discovered with all this wrongdoing alleged attached to them.
00:23:59.000So Eric Adams is at fault for having dirt that could be found.
00:24:04.000But by the same token, there are a lot of Democrats doing a lot of dirty things.
00:24:08.000You look at Joe Biden, you look at his family.
00:24:10.000All the influence peddling that they were up to.
00:24:12.000You look at Nancy Pelosi and others, including Republicans in Washington who are making a fortune out of the stock market.
00:24:20.000There's a lot of shady dealings going on in politics that would not be tolerated in the private sector. I was talking to a banker last night
00:24:30.000and he was saying, you know, if he if he takes a meal or takes anything over $50 from a
00:24:36.000foreign national, he has to declare it.
00:24:39.000And that should be the way for politicians. It should be even more stringent considering the
00:24:46.000And so therefore they get sloppy and you have these situations where when the hammer comes down, occasionally, very occasionally, there's a whole lot of dirt to be found.
00:25:00.000And by the way, Miranda, I was joking around with Blake, who's here with me.
00:25:04.000When he was on that flight from New York to DC, he was at Turkish Airlines.
00:25:08.000Probably not, but we shouldn't be surprised.
00:25:10.000What's so funny in it is you find these instances, like he's going to France for something, but because he wants to fly on Turkish Airlines, he flies all the way to Istanbul, which, you know, adds another 2,000 miles to the flight, and then he has to double back to France and he has this long layover in Istanbul and they have these text messages someone sends him it's like what where are aren't you in France he's like oh no I got to do the layover in Istanbul first we talked about this and there's so much funny stuff and he did this because he would be quote-unquote automatically upgraded on Turkish Airlines yeah basically it seems like there was this arrangement where he would buy a coach ticket and Turkish Airlines would come and they would you know just
00:25:49.000You know, happily for free, I'd give him this $15,000 upgrade, and they would do this on every flight.
00:25:54.000And there's another case where a friend or domestic partner of Adam's wanted to fly to... they wanted to visit Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean.
00:26:03.000That's where those, like, weird Easter Island heads are.
00:26:14.000So, Miranda, I guess the thought process here is that, and by the way, just for the record, Turkish Airlines is an objectively great airline, I'm just gonna say.
00:26:21.000Almost all, like, those foreign flagship airlines are amazing, and then you fly on an American airline, and you're like, ugh.
00:26:36.000The indictment is deeper than just flying first class.
00:26:40.000Yeah, free hotels, you know, discounted luxury hotels, meals, entertainment.
00:26:48.000You know, he wanted to live like a billionaire and it's this very similar pattern with Joe Biden.
00:26:56.000He wants to live a lifestyle that he can't personally afford and that his salary doesn't give him and so he's just very susceptible to being bribed and duchessed by people who want favours and The problem is once you go down that track, you really become beholden to your benefactors and they ratchet up the pressure and they want more and more.
00:27:37.000You'd think that you'd maybe want to get more money than that.
00:27:41.000And then, of course, his campaign getting, you know, cash funds, which are sort of falsely put through the books, laundered in a different way.
00:28:02.000If we ever got the opportunity to do it, of course, it's much nicer than coach.
00:28:06.000But honestly, I think it would be much better for him and for everybody else if he just remained humble.
00:28:14.000And I think he's going to have the book thrown at him.
00:28:17.000Well, speaking of the book, everyone should get a different book thrown at them.
00:28:20.000It's called The Big Guy by Miranda Devine, How a President and His Son Sold Out America.
00:28:25.000Miranda, I would like to have you back on sometime soon to discuss that book.
00:28:28.000And the other question I was going to ask, but we're out of time, is, isn't it interesting, Eric Adams gets indicted for first-class flights, but, you know, we don't yet have that big Biden indictment for selling out the country for cash.
00:28:42.000And I'll just say one more thing, which is that John Katzmatidis, who is the New York billionaire and owner of Gristidis and owner of WOBC Radio, a great guy, you know, he He should be interim mayor.
00:28:57.000I don't think that there's so many problems besetting New York at the moment.
00:29:24.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:29:28.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:29:30.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:29:35.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:29:41.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:31:46.000But as somebody who supports free markets, who's a capitalist, how do you go after price gouging without implementing price controls?
00:31:55.000Because once we get in this zone, people start to get worried and they say, I don't know what she stands for.
00:32:00.000So just to be very frank, I am never going to apologize for going after Companies and corporations that take advantage of the desperation of the American people.
00:32:18.000And that is part of a much more comprehensive plan on what we can do to bring down the cost of living, including housing, including the everyday needs of the American people.
00:32:29.000That's not an answer to the question, really.
00:32:31.000She just pivots to, like, I'm never going to apologize for doing the things we need to do to do the good things.
00:33:54.000Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars.
00:34:03.000And looking holistically at the connection between that and housing.
00:34:08.000And looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people.
00:34:21.000Madam Vice President, what does holistic mean?
00:34:24.000Exactly. You use that word three times. What is holistic?
00:34:28.000You know, the left can't define basic terms. I think you were onto something, Blake, where
00:34:33.000someone in one of these interviews say, OK, so you say you're a prosecutor. Here's three
00:34:36.000random questions. What is the Fifth Amendment?
00:34:40.000Kamala, what is the Fifth Amendment? Can you tell me what it is? What was Marbury versus
00:34:48.000Madison? Very simple, like, you know, establish judicial review. And I don't know. What was
