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.
00:03:45.000The best part was, is she uploaded a video to announce that's her just sitting there impassively while they play clips of Donald Trump saying she's really stupid?
00:03:55.000And well, this is what happens, right?
00:03:57.000I mean, if you go after somebody, it actually raises their profile, right?
00:04:03.000The Streisand effect is where, you know, I guess it goes back to where Streisand wanted to keep her privacy intact, and then she ended up fighting back against somebody taking, you know, exposing her home address.
00:05:18.000There was this charismatic, funny, intelligent, and exciting young candidate with a funny name who just got into the U.S. Senate and was running for president.
00:05:30.000Many doubted if this country was ready, while others, well, we got to work and kept hope alive.
00:06:08.000This is when she was saying she's open to ending taxes on black because she's in favor of reparations, but she admits that many are not already paying taxes.
00:06:18.000One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes.
00:06:21.000And I was like, I don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea.
00:06:24.000Then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that.
00:06:27.000And that's one of the reasons that, you know, we argue the reparations make sense because so many black folk, not only do you owe for the labor that was stolen and killed and all the other things, right?
00:06:40.000But the fact is, like, we end up being so far behind, right?
00:06:43.000And so it's like, how do you bring forth people?
00:06:47.000And so it's like, if you do the no tax thing for people that are already, say, struggling and aren't really paying taxes in the first place, it doesn't really exactly.
00:06:58.000They may want those checks like they got exerted.
00:07:44.000So this is a good reason to be optimistic because Jasmine Kroc, one of her opponents has already basically dropped out in response to this, decided, let's pack up and go home.
00:07:54.000But Older people will remember a candidate.
00:07:58.000I say older people like it's ages ago, but it was only about a decade ago.
00:08:04.000Democrats are really addicted to the idea of flipping Texas.
00:08:08.000It's kind of similar to how we'll often be contacted by conservatives in California.
00:08:13.000They often dream of flipping California red, the whole state, not just house districts.
00:08:18.000And we often have to say, we support you.
00:08:20.000We should work as hard as we can, but it's not the immediate priority now because it's difficult and expensive, and we're not close to doing it.
00:08:28.000Democrats do this a lot with the state of Texas, where they get hyped up that they're going to flip the state in a big statewide race, Blue, and they spend tons of money on it.
00:10:41.000Senior Trump advisors are telling GOP donors that a pair of upcoming Supreme Court decisions are likely to bolster Republicans in the 2026 midterms and transform the party's power to win elections for years.
00:10:53.000So this is coming straight from Chris Lasavita, Tony Fabrizio, which are top Trump lieutenants.
00:11:00.000And they are talking about this case, Louisiana versus, I think it's pronounced Calais.
00:11:23.000So what this is, is it's about a very, I would say, kind of long-standing precedent now.
00:11:31.000It goes back to the Voting Rights Act of Section 2, the Voting Rights Act, which came in 1965.
00:11:37.000And what that section does is it prohibits the dilution of minority voting power in congressional redistricting plans.
00:11:44.000So what this does in practice is it will take a district that is, or it will create a district that is a majority minority district.
00:11:53.000So if you have a predominant black community in Louisiana, for example, and this is where this case goes down to, they will design a district to give a black community a representative for the black community.
00:12:06.000In the case of Louisiana, they have two predominantly black congressional districts.
00:12:17.000It's very mutant-looking, but what it's supposed to be doing is at least in theory, they will argue that this is what allows them to have equal representation.
00:12:29.000So that black voters in the South specifically will have black representatives, right?
00:12:38.000Now, why this is key is because Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the core provision that protects against racially discriminatory voting maps, that's how they would put it, the left, if struck down, it would be the most significant rollback of this Voting Rights Act since what they say, Shelby County versus Holder in 2013.
00:13:02.000But here's what else, this is what's crazy, is that this could at least, it could flip 19 seats.
00:13:18.000They're writing white papers on this, publishing these things.
00:13:21.000And they are saying that if you add that to some of these congressional redistricting fights that we're having in Indiana and we're having in Missouri and Florida and Ohio, that could total up to 27 seats going in our direction.
00:13:36.000And that's not even counting, I believe, Texas, which has already now done it.
00:13:45.00019 seats, especially in the South, are connected to this 1965 Voting Rights Act, Section 2, which is making gerrymandered seats for majority-minority districts.
00:13:58.000Now, you have to be careful because I always have to have the caveat here, which is there are a lot of seats in blue states that exist this way as well, where because of Section 2, they say, okay, here in Chicago, for example, you need to make this giant, like there's actually infamous districts in Chicago where they have this all-black district and then they have the Hispanic district that surrounds it kind of like a pair of earmuffs, is famously what it looks like.
00:14:23.000And so Democrat states do create this as well.
00:14:28.000The big picture thing is we've had this very artificial approach to our house maps that was imposed a half century ago for an understandable purpose, which is that we had the Jim Crow system that really did deny black Americans the right to vote.
00:14:45.000And you could argue you needed some sort of harsh measure to break that.
00:14:50.000That's why we abolished some of the literacy tests that they used and were famously rigged against black Americans.
00:14:57.000But a half century on, black Americans have the same voting rights, voting rights and voting rates as white Americans.
00:15:04.000They are not being denied the right to vote.
00:15:07.000Instead, this is always a cudgel that is just used to deliver the left political wins.
00:15:12.000Oh, we can't have basic voter ID because actually that's a way to bring back Jim Crow.
00:15:17.000And similar here, you can't have a house map decided democratically at your state level because we've had a court order how you're going to draw it.
00:15:26.000And it never applies to Democrats, of course.
00:15:28.000Democrats are actually totally allowed to gerrymander however they want because they're doing it for political reasons, racist reasons.
00:16:39.000She prays for warmth, food, and someone to help her.
00:16:42.000This winter, as the snow falls and the nights grow longer, her hope fades with each passing day.
00:16:47.000She feels forgotten and needs our help.
00:16:49.000That's why I'm so grateful for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:16:53.000For over 40 years, the fellowship and their supporters have delivered boxes stuffed with nutritious food, cooking supplies, and other essentials to suffering and impoverished people like Maria.

00:18:54.000And how are the students doing, though?
00:18:56.000I mean, some of you guys, I mean, you were the last students to get pictures with Charlie.
00:19:03.000I mean, just, I mean, it was incredibly traumatic.
00:19:06.000It's still traumatic for so many of us.
00:19:08.000And, you know, I just, I have worried about some of you guys at the campus level there because it was, I mean, an unthinkable thing happened right in front of you.
00:19:18.000Yeah, thankfully, yeah, the students have been doing really well.
00:19:21.000The UVU did offer free mental health services and other facilities to kind of help us out dealing with the process what we all witnessed.
00:21:40.000And Charlie gave his life for free speech, for this country.
00:21:45.000I just, I can't think of anything more insulting than taking Charlie's name off of a memorial and putting in its place some left-wing, deranged unity project or whatever that is.
00:21:58.000So, Caleb, are you telling us that this is not gaining any real traction?
00:22:02.000Have you talked to the administration?
00:22:04.000Have you talked to anybody at the school that has any authority over this?
00:22:08.000Yeah, I've talked to a couple of the people on the memorial committee.
00:22:13.000Thankfully, it's very reassuring that about 90% of them have come to me and told me they are huge Charlie Kirk fans.
00:22:50.000Do you just worry that pushing it back, the goal is to just, you know, the process is the punishment, delay it out, keep it from happening?
00:22:59.000Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about.
00:23:01.000If you can push that long, the people who are directly affected have graduated.
00:23:05.000Yeah, the further away from the event that you get, the more leverage they're going to have if there is some sort of slow walk attempt going here.
00:23:13.000And that is one of my biggest concerns is that with how long this process is taking, that the people who are fired up who want to honor Charlie the right way because of how long this is taking, their voices are going to die down.
00:23:26.000And this loud minority, they're just going to keep on getting louder.
00:23:30.000And I fear that that's going to influence the committee.
00:23:34.000So what I've been trying to do is kind of be a, I guess, whispering in their ears just to make sure they're still in the right direction and that they're not going to honor Charlie's name in a very underwhelming way.
00:23:46.000Yeah, and I'm glad you're doing that, Caleb.
00:23:48.000And you got to let us know if we need to do anything to help spread the word there because if they do this, it will be one of the, if they attempt it in any serious form, it is going to be an outrage of epic proportions,
00:24:01.000and we will absolutely get loud because I would say the least that this campus could do or should do for the biggest, highest profile political assassination since the 1960s in this country is to at least memorialize it properly with the actual person whose life was lost and taken.
00:24:23.000Can you describe, do you know, assuming they don't sabotage it, is there a concrete vision for what it might look like that we can anticipate?
00:27:21.000You want that to happen there and possibly on other campuses.
00:27:24.000Yeah, and Caleb, if there's a good email, you can get that to us and we can actually tell the audience and put it up on if there's just sort of a people, a place where people can send in their thoughts and concerns or their desire for this memorial to happen, please find that for us and we'll blast it out.
00:28:16.000Finding a woman who shares your values, faith, family, and patriotism feels nearly impossible, but it doesn't have to be.
00:28:23.000Selective Search, America's leading matchmaking firm, is changing the game.
00:28:28.000They connect strong, successful men like you, men who love God, love this country, and want a family, with incredible women who share your values.
00:28:36.000These are intelligent, faith-driven women who put family first and still believe in traditional values.
00:29:45.000He was probably, I don't know where he was when everything happened, but you know, this is a truly remarkable man for having this happen on his campus, overcoming it, and you see that spark in him.
00:30:01.000And he realizes that he's a torchbearer of Charlie's message and his legacy.
00:30:05.000From all the way, all the way from the Antipodes in Australia, no less.
00:30:09.000Yeah, well, it really shows the globalization of Charlie's message that we saw so much in this past year.
00:30:14.000There was actually a Sky News reporter out of Australia that always covered Charlie.
00:30:19.000And Charlie would always send me the links, go, she's good.
00:32:03.000Yeah, it's what we were complaining about with Charlie, actually, just going into this fall, that there's so many nominees to important positions.
00:32:11.000There's so many appointees in general in the federal government.
00:32:14.000I think there's several thousand people at this point who are supposed to be directly appointed by the president.
00:32:20.000Start with the secretary, as the undersecretary, as the assistant undersecretary.
00:32:34.000I think in a lot of those cases, I think Congress specifically dislikes some of the picks, and so they wish Trump would pick somebody else.
00:32:41.000So, yes, all of these are Senate confirmed.
00:32:43.000The House doesn't vote on these things.
00:32:45.000The Senate wants somebody else, so they're pouting and sitting on them.
00:32:49.000I think there's a lot of that going on, and it's causing problems because there's a limit to how long a person can serve temporarily.
00:32:55.000The Trump administration has, they've tried to come up with some legal maneuvers around this, and courts have generally been striking that down.
00:33:04.000But bigger picture, when this clip came out, you and I were talking, there's so many positions that have gone unfilled where they've started to accelerate them, where they started to do those block votes on nominees this fall, yet there's still hundreds of people.
00:33:20.000And so the example you and I were talking about was Jeremy Carl, author of The Unprotected Class.
00:33:54.000There is no excuse for us to have a Republican Senate with a Republican president with a time limit of four total years where you're guaranteed to have power, two total years where you're guaranteed to have a Senate that can confirm people and to just be sitting on nominations.
00:35:05.000He said, we cannot keep electing politicians that are promising policies on immigration, for example, and then saying that the judges are just going to overturn this.
00:35:15.000You cannot do that over and over again without the people eventually becoming quite radicalized.
00:35:23.000When the people elect people like President Trump and JD Vance to fix our border issues, to fix our immigration issues, or whatever, law and order.
00:35:32.000And then constantly this is getting sidetracked because we can't get appointees through or whatever because of a blue slip, antiquated process, which is supposed to be gentlemanly and collegial within the U.S. Senate when they are weaponizing old traditions where there's no rule, there's no constitutional order, there's no mandate, there's no policies.
00:35:58.000And we just talked with the chapter president of UVU, and I'm thinking about Charlie right now.
00:36:03.000Charlie left it all out on the field, literally and physically and in every conceivable way, to get President Trump elected, to get majorities in the House and in the Senate.
00:36:19.000And for that to get then sidetracked and postponed, delayed, or completely blocked because we run out of time is an insult to everything that we did the lead up to 2024.
00:36:34.000If we lose next year, one of the biggest factors will be didn't confirm enough people, didn't get enough things done, didn't fulfill enough of the promises.
00:36:41.000Absolutely unacceptable that this is still getting in the way.
