On this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie Kirk is joined by Producer Blake Neff and Executive Producer Andrew Colvet to discuss the recent protests in the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, and the impact that Islam has had on America.
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.
00:01:11.000I'm Andrew Colvet, executive producer of this fine show, and I am joined by Blake Neff, the producer here, our not-so-secret weapon.
00:01:20.000We actually, before this, had an interview with Megan Kelly.
00:01:23.000I encourage you guys to check that out.
00:02:02.000So, so today's opening story is going to be Islam versus America.
00:02:09.000There's a lot of these stories that are kind of coming together all at one time, coalescing.
00:02:16.000And I thought it was really apropos because, Blake, you know, there's a lot of talk right now online about the fracturing of the right or that, you know, different groups are chipping at each other.
00:02:27.000And there's people, we like to argue always, frankly, and but just especially, we'll be, we'll admit it.
00:02:35.000The elections in Virginia, New Jersey were challenging.
00:02:39.000They weren't results we were hoping for.
00:02:41.000And always after that, that ends up with some sniping, some blaming.
00:02:46.000And then there's other stuff that's been going on.
00:02:47.000You know, we don't even want to name names and like dive into it.
00:02:50.000It's a lot of stuff Charlie fought so hard against.
00:03:00.000And we were talking just before this show, what would Charlie be wanting to do right now?
00:03:04.000And he wouldn't be wallowing in disagreements.
00:03:07.000He would be thinking, what can unite us?
00:03:09.000And one of those things he cared so much about uniting us on before his death was, hey, guys, one of the problems facing America is this rising tide of Islam.
00:03:19.000And so what we saw, and I think it's a really important, I think, event, cultural event, but I think it's a precursor of things that we are probably going to see more of, unfortunately.
00:03:32.000And that was in Dearborn, Michigan, where you had, let's say, hundreds.
00:03:41.000But protesters that came out, they announced that they were going to do this protest on November 10th.
00:03:47.000And then they said we're going to do it on November 18th.
00:03:49.000So they only had like eight days or so between the announcement and the protests.
00:03:54.000Went to Dearborn and there were clashes in the streets yesterday.
00:03:59.000Apparently, there was a J6 prisoner, Jake Lang, who was involved in kind of, I think it got more heated as soon as he got involved, but they were just trying to say, hey, listen, this is America.
00:04:09.000Dearborn is kind of ground zero for, it's probably a terrible expression to use when we're talking about the Islamification of America, but it's ground zero for this mass migration that's happening within the West, largely, especially in the UK.
00:04:24.000You and Charlie visited the UK, and that was one of your largest observations.
00:04:34.000And then yesterday, Blake, Governor Greg Abbott went on X, went on Twitter and said, Today I designate the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on America Islamic Relations, CARE, as foreign terrorists and transnational criminal organizations.
00:04:48.000This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.
00:04:57.000And, you know, CARE, it gets brought up, so it is an Islamic advocacy arm in the United States, but it's long had friction where it gets, you inevitably get involved with some shady stuff.
00:05:08.000And so something that actually was just reported yesterday in the New York Post, the California chapter of CARE, they were cutting $1,000 checks through something called the Champions of Justice Fund.
00:05:20.000And what those $1,000 checks were going to, among others, were agitators on U.S. college campuses, the ones who were shutting down entire campuses, harassing other students, taking over buildings as part of their anti-Israel protests, which in early 24, which we'll be frank, frequently spiraled into just outright violent, anti-Semitic, disruptive behavior.
00:05:47.000And that gets at the heart of what we've talked about also with Antifa, which is there are these left-wing nonprofit arms whose purpose is to provide ideological cover and financial support for barely legal or just aggressively illegal behavior by their more rank-and-file individuals.
00:06:07.000And you have to break these networks up.
00:06:09.000You can't just have financial subsidies endlessly going to people who are terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, rioters, disruptors, the people who actually aren't winning at the ballot box.
00:06:21.000And so they impose what they want through the streets and through the courts rather than ever winning an election.
00:06:28.000Yeah, well, I mean, CARE for, you know, what it's worth.
00:06:31.000They call themselves a social justice or civil rights.
00:06:37.000Which is, by the way, it's just par for the course.
00:06:40.000They're going to launder radical Islamic values, ideas, and frankly, people, because they're very in favor of mass migration from Islamic countries to the West.
00:06:50.000They're going to launder those ideas in left-coded language, right?
00:06:54.000So they're going to wrap themselves in the ideas and language of the left in order to destabilize the countries.
00:07:01.000But CARE has alleged ties to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, including funding terror-designated groups.
00:07:08.000They oppose President Trump's travel restrictions and travel bans in Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0, calling it religious-based discrimination.
00:07:19.000They had the CARES executive director, Nihad Awad, in 2023 express joy over the October 7th Hamas attacks in Israel.
00:07:28.000I was happy to see Palestinians break the siege, was what he said.
00:07:32.000They promote Sharia-aligned policies and public institutions.
00:07:36.000So, for example, because we're talking about Texas, look what CARE has done in Texas.
00:07:39.000CARE has advocated for accommodations like halal meals in schools.
00:07:45.000They've advocated to adjust exam schedules for Islamic holidays, allowing imams to perform marriages.
00:07:51.000They do that in, I think they already do that in New York.
00:08:08.000But what he has done in Texas, it should be codified by the state legislature.
00:08:13.000This should be as strong of a political foot forward as you could make, right?
00:08:19.000Because, you know, governors, executive orders from the president, they're all less firm than when you pass them through legislation, right?
00:09:11.000The spiritual battle is coming to the West.
00:09:14.000And the enemies are wokeism or Marxism combining with Islamism to go after what we call the American way of life.
00:09:21.000And the American way of life is very simple.
00:09:24.000I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids, allow them to ride their bike till the sun goes down, send them to a good school, have a low-crime neighborhood, not to have my kid be taught the lesbian, gay, transgender garbage in their school.
00:10:05.000But the Muslim call to prayer, once you start hearing it, it's at 4 a.m.
00:10:10.000And they play it very loudly because they view that as an assertive, aggressive, an assertive play to show we are taking over this place.
00:10:19.000We are terraforming America to resemble the Middle East.
00:10:23.000There's a lot of videos of them, you know, telegraphing their next moves.
00:10:29.000Are you ready to drop up to 20 pounds or more by the new year?

00:11:49.000And mention code New Year or visit their website at myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:56.000All right, so we've mentioned this Dearborn thing.
00:11:58.000I want to play a couple of these scenes really quick because this was a collision of Christians, right?
00:12:03.000You can debate whether they were being good Christians or bad, but they socially identified and represent themselves as Christians versus Muslims in the streets.
00:12:12.000And it was a collision, there's no doubt.
00:12:15.000And here's one that was really disturbing to me, obviously, given our this is the Charlie Kirk show.
00:12:19.000This is a Muslim calls for Christians protesting that they're going to get Charlie Kirked.
00:14:10.000So while all eyes were on Mamdani in New York, the Muslims were able to sweep such victories for the first time in American history across at least nine states occupying positions.
00:14:24.000And last clip I'm going to play in this segment, but this is an Islamic Imam explaining how they plan to take over America, and it ties into that last clip: Play Cut 222.
00:15:06.000The thing about Islam is, in contrast to Christianity, if you read the Gospels, if you read the early Christians, there can be places that are very Christian, but Jesus doesn't actually talk a lot about how you're supposed to organize a state, how you're supposed to organize a government.
00:15:21.000It is mostly about individuals or faith communities.
00:16:38.000And so there's this vast history for Muslims to view.
00:16:42.000Oh, I am part of, and also it was a conquest thing from the beginning that the faith was created and rapidly conquered the area around it to spread Islam.
00:16:49.000So they have an entire history of we can expand, we can take over an area, and then we can impose Islamic law, Islamic norms on that place.
00:17:01.000In the past, they did it with actual warfare.
00:17:03.000We are now in the 21st century, and they are very aware it can be done demographically.
00:17:07.000You'll have Islamic thinkers in their own private sermons and podcasts.
00:17:13.000They will say, we are going to conquer the West with our wombs.
00:17:36.000You know, I've been thinking about how much culture is shaped by what we choose to watch, because whether we realize it or not, the stories we invite into our homes shape the way we see the world.
00:17:46.000That's why what Angel Studios is doing matters.
00:17:49.000And right now they're having their biggest sale of the year.
00:17:51.000For a limited time, you can get an Angel Guild membership for as low as $6.99 a month for 12 months plus two free tickets to see David in theaters.
00:18:00.000Angel Studios is leading a quiet revolution in entertainment.
00:18:04.000They're telling stories that elevate truth, celebrate family, and remind us what courage really looks like.
00:18:17.000And you help decide what the next generation of stories will look like.
00:18:20.000Take advantage of the lowest price of the year, become a member of the Angel Guild and get your two free tickets to see David in theaters this Christmas.
00:18:58.000You are a contrarian thinker on a lot of topics, I think, and you always make it interesting, whether that's daylight savings time or in this case, property taxes.
00:19:07.000And you and Blake, I think, are of the same mind here.
00:19:09.000What is your take on this push in Florida to eliminate property taxes?
00:19:14.000Yeah, first of all, just thank you guys for having me.
00:19:16.000My first time joining the program since Charlie's passing.
00:19:18.000I just want to commend you both for the job that you guys are doing.
00:19:21.000And I'm very, very sorry that Charlie and I never got to have the fight about daylight savings time that we were once promised.
00:19:26.000So R.I.P. Charlie, we will one day be able to have that.
00:19:30.000But on property tax in general, there's been a new push by Governor DeSantis.
00:19:34.000This is picking up on quite a few red states, Governor Abbott and others in Texas, pushing explicitly to either abolish property tax, and in a more objectionable case, in my opinion, specifically carve out property tax exemptions for older homeowners.
00:19:47.000And something that I'm really passionate about is defending the very idea of property tax very specifically while also being able to critique individual school districts because I believe that it's very important to preserve the local connection of the taxpayer to the community.
00:20:02.000And one of my more recent objections right now, specifically, is that it actually centralizes control of education, of police, public services, and others at the state and the federal level.
00:20:13.000And if you really think back to the founding of our republic, property tax is in many ways the most American tax that exists.
00:20:19.00014 out of the 15 colonies had property taxes by 1796.
00:20:23.000Thomas Jefferson actually believed that property tax was the most righteous tax that could exist here in the United States.
00:20:28.000And so I'm concerned more specifically at a very high level that this is largely a giveaway to the wealthy landowner class, which, yes, also disproportionately happens to be much older, and that it is not one that prioritizes younger families, turnover, and other healthy elements of a housing market, which remains, as you guys know, as Charlie knew as well, one of the central pain points for the burgeoning American family.
00:20:53.000And if we care about families, caring about housing, housing policy, school district funding is something that we all really need to think very deeply about.
00:21:00.000And I just think this goes in the wrong direction.
00:21:04.000So I just want to say we always invite response from our listeners, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:21:10.000And I will say the discussions we have had on this topic have been volcanic.
00:21:15.000We've gotten a ton of emails about it.
00:21:17.000And I'll be frank, they are mostly hostile to you and me, Sager.
00:21:22.000That a lot of people, you know, we got a lot of very authentic stories, people talking about how they had to work and save their entire lives to be able to their homes, or how they are, you know, there are seniors who are economically struggling right now and they feel singled out and it's really bad.
00:21:38.000And I don't want to downplay any of those things.
00:21:41.000And I want to emphasize we are not engaging in generational warfare on the old.
00:21:46.000I am not advocating dispossess the old.
00:21:49.000We are not saying the old are villains.
00:21:52.000But what we have to recognize is if we're going to change our tax system to make American life more affordable, that's the goal of this.
00:21:59.000The goal is fighting for affordability.
00:22:02.000We have to think who benefits most and also who is actually hurting the most in America.
00:22:07.000And what you know, Sager, is Charlie talked about this all the time.
00:22:11.000The people who are in the most dire situation in America are the young.
00:22:15.000They feel like they have no path forward to what their parents and grandparents had access to.
00:22:21.000And as a result, they're becoming very radical on the left and on the right in many cases.
00:22:26.000And so I think it would be disastrous for us to pursue a tax policy of abolishing of just abolishing property tax when it is almost certain that this will mean raising the tax burden that is paid by young working families.
00:22:41.000Because the offset to this is almost inevitably going to be higher income taxes or higher sales taxes.
00:22:57.000Let's talk about Florida specifically, right?
00:22:59.000So the Florida Policy Institute estimates there's some 1.5 million Floridians who live in school districts where actually 50% of their funding, over 50% of that funding, comes specifically from the homestead property tax.
00:23:10.000That's about 5% of the Floridian population, but you have some $18.5 billion in shortfall that an exemption of homestead property tax would happen.
00:23:18.000Now, as Blake said, inevitably, especially in a state like Florida, where you have no income tax, the money is going to have to be made up from somewhere else.
00:23:25.000So that could impose like a tourist tax.
00:23:27.000If you guys have ever stayed in Florida, you know, different rates for hotel rooms, if you're a Florida resident, if you're not, and of course, you know, it's not like the Disney vacation for a family member is already not exorbitantly expensive.
00:23:39.000But secondary to that is it will almost certainly have to be made up in some other form.
00:23:43.000Sales tax is usually the way that this goes about.
00:23:45.000And, you know, one of the reasons I'm really passionate about this is I grew up in the home state of Texas.
00:23:49.000And I think it's really important to say that one of the things I'm proud of is that so many Americans who live in unaffordable hellholes like where I am here in the DMV, where child care is $150,000 a year on average, actually literally where I live, where the median home values are well over $1 million.
00:24:29.000The silent generation paid property taxes for boomers whenever their children were going to school.
00:24:34.000And now by abdicating that responsibility and explicitly trying to take school taxes out of seniors, and I understand, you know, about the cost of living increase, et cetera, for Social Security not necessarily keeping up, but it is important to note that this idea about so-called fixed income is one that actually does apply across the entire income spectrum.
00:24:55.000Blake, I thought you made a really excellent point on the show earlier where when a young person who lives anywhere and sees a 30 to 40 percent increase in their rental income, you know, the median conservative argument to that is, well, I'm sorry, you know, the free market has consequences and you're simply going to have to move.
00:25:12.000And, you know, the point about the societal compact is when we also start to talk about Medicare and Social Security and the entitlement funding, which currently is being outflowed, being paid for by the younger generation, I just think it's important for that compact that we all explicitly pay into and support the system.
00:25:29.000And I don't think there's anything more important than supporting younger families right now who, as Blake said, ultimately tax policy is a zero-sum game.
00:25:37.000Like the funding does actually do need that does need to come from somewhere.
00:25:41.000And largely, the vast majority of Americans live in states right now where they have older, you know, they have exemptions for older homeowners and increasingly pass the buck to the younger homeowner, the younger family who is having a lot of difficulty making ends meet right now.
00:25:56.000And that is my singular mission, if there is one, is to try and make it to advocate for policy, which will actually make it easier for them.
00:26:03.000Yeah, I mean, I think this is, you know, I think everybody's heart is in the right place.
00:26:07.000We want more families, we want more marriages.
00:26:09.000We want to restore the social compact for Gen Z. My one pushback here is, and I want to, I was not aware that Thomas Jefferson said it was the most righteous of all the taxes.
00:26:29.000Yeah, at the time of the colonies, it's very important to remember, and you guys discussed this as well, the idea of a general income tax or a capital gains tax or any of these other taxes was anathema.
00:26:39.000Really, a lot of it was alcohol taxes, like a Paguvian syntax.
00:26:42.000It was tariffs and it was property tax.
00:26:44.000Property owners were the only ones who could vote at that time.
00:26:47.000But very importantly, it was seen as a way as the property owner themselves is benefiting from the social benefit of what it would pay for.
00:26:56.000Let's say from the mail system to eventually evolved into cops, into schools.
00:27:00.000And that's why 14 out of the 15 colonies by 1796 had a property tax on the books.
00:27:05.000In fact, there used to be something called a general property tax, which we don't even have anymore.
00:27:10.000And so I really do understand how difficult it can be.
00:27:13.000You know, when you look at your mortgage and especially with the so-called reassessments of home outviews, and more importantly, people saying, I don't feel like I'm getting enough for my property tax.
00:27:22.000But my real message to you is you have the ability to change that on a level more than any other.
00:27:27.000I mean, if you live in the state of Florida, there's what, millions of people who live in the state of Florida, the realistically, your ability to campaign and to change policy at the state level is very low.
00:27:35.000And, you know, issues that you guys have talked about here on the show, one reason why parents felt so much courage to come and speak up, let's say, against critical race theory or transgender or something, was because, you know, as taxpayers, we pay into this.
00:27:47.000We're directly funding it and we have that access.
00:27:50.000And by removing that, you actually really do remove the social compact between the parent and the locality and the ability to influence turnover and ultimately to govern our own destiny, which is what local government really is all about from our police force, you know, from electing sheriff.
00:28:05.000Like so much of this is actually baked deeply into the American spirit.
00:28:09.000And so, long way to answer your question, is it was about localism and it was fundamentally about community.
00:28:14.000And it was seen as both a way to raise revenue, but also to turn people into good citizens and to recognize the ability for us to influence where those policies could and which direction they could go.
00:28:24.000Well, I should, I want to flag this only because we did get an email recently pointing this out from Heather in Florida who says there are proposals where it would eliminate the advalorum property tax except for school funding, which might be I think it'd probably be a superior way other than the fact that obviously our public school funding is one of the most wasteful things we have.
00:28:48.000But I have another historical question for you, Sager.
00:28:51.000I'm curious because, you know, we're talking about the landed gentry were the only ones that could vote back at America's Founding.
00:28:59.000Was it just a property tax on like working farms and productive pieces of land that made a revenue?
00:29:04.000Or was it actually a property tax on, you know, if you owned a home in a township somewhere?
00:29:09.000So it was Colony by Colony and it was also what Blake is saying is about the general property tax.
00:29:13.000So it wasn't just necessarily on that.
00:29:15.000It was also on the amount of stuff that you actually owned and its overall assessed value.
00:29:19.000But it was variable and different a little bit and from some of the reading that I have done.
00:29:23.000I do think it's important though to address that point and to where we're talking about, you know, today, which is one of the reasons why I think this is really important is because the homeownership class largely is on the older side of the spectrum.
00:29:35.000And one of the things that I think all of us on this show are trying to get into is how can we make it so that younger families can afford homes.
00:29:42.000And so ultimately, when we have so many policy proposals, which largely are going to benefit some of the older Americans, which are, you know, rapidly appreciated their own housing stock, which, you know, if you look at their stock portfolios or overall wealth generation, we should also be looking perhaps at inverse proposals that say, oh, well, if we're going to, let's say, give exemptions or others, then we need to look at where does it encourage, let's say, a first-time homebuyer and others.
00:30:05.000And I think, unfortunately, like I said in my home state of Texas, we're going in the opposite direction.
00:30:11.000This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner of WhyReFi.
00:30:16.000It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.
00:30:21.000His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.
00:30:28.000Now, here Charlie, in his own words, tell you about YReFi.
00:30:31.000I'm going to tell you guys about whyRefi.com.
00:31:22.000You go, property tax is the only issue aside from weed that I have received as much hate for.
00:31:26.000This is absolute confirmation I am over the target.
00:31:31.000I think that's been your experience too, Blake.
00:31:33.000I mean, I want to be as charitable as possible because I know we have 350 million people in this country.
00:31:39.000Plenty of people have a lot of challenges, and we should always avoid any, you know, hateful warfare that stereotypes everyone as all the same.
00:31:48.000And so it's easy to say, like, oh, rich boomers living it up and wanting to go on cruises.
00:31:53.000I know a lot of people are not doing that.
00:31:55.000We're getting emails from them where they talk about how hard it is, but we have to avoid generational warfare the other way.
00:32:02.000And I always want to emphasize: if you're going to just abolish or radically cut property taxes or make special carve-outs, if you're not actually attacking government spending directly, that bill is going to be paid another way, and someone's going to pay that price.
00:32:17.000And that's attacking them just as much.
00:32:19.000Yeah, well, and Sager, I'm going to give you an opportunity to respond to that because I'm actually in favor of maybe some ideas where when somebody retires and maybe it's means tested, maybe we freeze it at a certain rate or something like that.
00:32:33.000I want to throw a graphic up here just to kind of underscore the point that you guys are making.
00:32:37.000And this is from Fortune magazine: 159.
00:32:40.000It's the age distribution of home buyers and sellers by generation.
00:32:44.000So you see that weighted really high up at the old boomer, young boomer, and old Xer.
00:33:31.000If you retire at 65 and you're on fixed income, and it's maybe based on your ability, your income level or whatever, your wealth level, you could freeze it at a certain level because we are seeing dramatic spikes, maybe not currently this year, but especially after COVID, we saw property values shoot up.
00:33:49.000We saw reassessments shoot up the amount of property tax elderly on fixed income had to pay.
00:33:54.000Why can't we find some middle ground there?
00:33:57.000It's just a little tough, Andrew, because the presumption behind that is that the younger family can also simply just absorb that in there.
00:34:04.000Where, you know, if when we're talking about who actually does get automatic and inflation-adjusted income, unfortunately, you know, if just to speak quite frankly, it's people who are on Social Security.
00:34:14.000People on Social Security get the automatic cost of living adjustment, including, by the way, they just got from the one big beautiful bill.
00:34:20.00088% of Social Security recipients will now also get it tax-free.
00:34:23.000So in terms of the amount of money, specifically state-directed money, what you're getting at is that those people actually have much better ability because of their automatic inflation-adjusted tax-free income to absorb some of the shock that comes while a younger family, you know, technically can go out there and Make more money, but of course, it's very, very difficult in today's job market as well, especially if we look at the wages that track overall inflation, even including CPI inflation.
00:34:47.000In general, I'm not really for some stuff like that because we've seen the way that it's played out, let's say, in the state of California, one of the most unaffordable housing markets on the planet, which of course has those frozen property tax rates from the time that people buy, which leads to highly variable problems in the amount that people are paying different neighborhoods depending on when you bought, and has explicitly been proven statistically to actually lock a lot of people in housing stock.
00:35:10.000And I know that that can sound a little bit dystopian, but the thing is, is what Blake and I are trying to say is: look, nobody is advocating for anybody being kicked out of a house, but we are accepting market realities where, yes, you know, with large assessment has also, frankly, quite largely increased your own personal wealth.
00:35:26.000And if we look at the history of the United States of America and really at the family unit all across the world, you know, downsizing is just simply one of the facts of life in many societies across the world.
00:35:39.000It actually would be viewed at extremely strange.
00:35:42.000This idea of living in large, not palatial home, but even a three or a four-bedroom, multi-generational housing is viewed much more, you know, as practical and a solution for avoiding having to put people in elderly homes.
00:35:53.000And that's simply, you know, part of an American characteristic.
00:35:56.000But more importantly, what I am trying to do beyond even the specifics that you're trying to lay out is let's not go far in the point of the way that we did with entitlements, which has led to a lot of the way that we are right here.
00:36:09.000If we abolish property tax, well, we're not going to get rid of schools, we're not going to get rid of police.
00:36:14.000There has to be other funding vehicles, and especially in states like Florida and Texas, which pride themselves as pro-family states, that's going to have to probably come in the form of a highly regressive sales tax or some other tax, which is almost certain to hit the worker and the younger family member, as well as not increasing the amount of housing stock.
00:36:34.000And so we have to accept certain market realities and others that currently exist in the way that our housing market works and the way that all of these things are funded.
00:36:43.000And we have to design it so that all of us together can prosper.
00:36:47.000And you're right, you know, Zorhan Mamdani, rent control in a lot of ways is the inverse of your rent control and rent price fixing specifically is the inverse of property tax abolishment.
00:37:00.000Something I'm going to borrow there from Blake.
00:37:02.000And I think people who are conservative can rightfully ridicule that while not recognizing their own impetus to want that same thing when it benefits themselves.
