00:00:31.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:37.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:02.000We're going to finally, hopefully, get some specifics of the indictment.
00:01:06.000Donald Trump will be surrendering in front of the Manhattan courthouse.
00:01:10.000And I just want you to take a pause here, and I don't think anyone's making this argument.
00:01:14.000I want you to imagine Donald Trump's mindset as he landed yesterday on Trump Force One.
00:01:21.000Landed, I think he landed at LaGuardia or JFK.
00:01:24.000It's irrelevant where he landed, but as he had a motorcade coming into New York City, you could imagine the emotion that Donald Trump was feeling as he was looking at a skyline that he largely developed.
00:01:33.000He was looking at a city that he largely built.
00:01:55.000Looking at the Plaza Hotel that he was an owner of.
00:01:58.000Looking at the real estate portfolio that he built, but not just his own personal portfolio, the streets that he helped cleaned up, the charities he supported.
00:02:04.000So the same city that he was heavily involved in, he was considered to be Mr. New York.
00:02:10.000In fact, when I was growing up and I first visited New York City, if you would have said, hey, who is the first billionaire that comes to mind here?
00:02:46.000The fact that they go to New York first at the first venue is intentional.
00:02:50.000They know that New York is close to his heart.
00:02:52.000Donald Trump was the one walking the World Trade Center carnage, donating millions of dollars of time, money, and resources.
00:02:59.000Donald Trump was famously on the phone saying, it smells like death, but we're going to lean in and we're going to make New York City great again.
00:03:06.000You see, Donald Trump wanted to make America great again, but his first ambition was to make New York City great again.
00:03:13.000They're very mad for multiple reasons.
00:03:15.000They're angry that Donald Trump robbed them of a seamless handing off of the regime from Hussein Obama to Hillary Rodham.
00:03:25.000They're angry and they're spiteful of what happened at the Javit Center.
00:03:30.000When they were supposed to have a celebration, they thought they were going to a wedding and a coronation.
00:03:35.000And instead, they were going to a funeral.
00:03:38.000There's several layers here, and I do not think we can overlook the petty, the pathological, and the personal elements of these people that thought at the Javit Center Hillary Clinton was going to break the glass ceiling.
00:04:06.000But the reason that New York City is worth focusing on is that Donald Trump is Mr. New York.
00:04:12.000And isn't it like these political cockroaches and these serpents to try to humiliate him in the very venue that is so close to his heart to say, hey, you might have built something.
00:04:27.000You might have made billions of dollars.
00:04:29.000But now we're going to show you that the very same arena, the place where the American dream was best articulated in the art of the deal, where if you put your mind to something, anything is possible, where Donald Trump was Mr. New York overlooking Central Park, doing the apprentice, do the apprentice, one of the most popular TV shows ever.
00:04:48.000Now they know what they're doing here, and they want to try to put it on full spectacle display.
00:04:54.000And the sick part of this is, is they're enjoying every part of it.
00:06:05.000If this indictment stands, then no one who has their fixer pay six figures in hush money to their porn star lover, then reimburses that fixer out of business accounts, then falsifies it as legal fees and conspires with the publisher of the National Inquirer to catch and kill stories about his other extramarital affairs as part of another illegal violation of campaign finance laws will be safe.
00:06:27.000Folks, you know the old saying, first they came for the former president and I said nothing because he is so guilty.
00:06:40.000Even if you hate Donald Trump in this audience, even if you think Donald Trump is the worst president ever and he's a narcissist and he's off, this is a bad day for the nation.
00:07:40.000The escalation is exactly how they think they're going to remain powerful.
00:07:44.000Remember, this is how the Roman Republic ended.
00:07:46.000Julius Caesar's enemies were planning to arrest and probably execute him the moment he stepped down from the political office and gave up his army.
00:08:11.000Trump is just a single player in now this massive game that your grandkids are now going to have to live through.
00:08:18.000I'm hearing from people they say, oh, Charlie, this is actually a good thing.
00:08:22.000We are going to try to build out some of the positives throughout the hour and try to find them and seek them, but we're not going to do the hopium thing.
00:10:29.000Now, maybe you're looking for a first-time home buyer.
00:10:31.000Here's the thing: every single person in the Charlie Kirk show audience that uses banks, stop using the big banks and start using Andrew and Todd.
00:10:38.000Give them a call at 888-888-1172, 888, 888, 1172, or online at andrewandodd.com.
00:10:53.000If you have mortgage needs, if you have any banking needs when it comes to homes, reverse mortgage, refinancing, whatever, go to andrewandtodd.com.
00:11:44.000I actually think every acronym in the entire country is here today, from the FBI to the CIA to the CNN to the SBLC to the NBC, all of them.
00:11:54.000I actually saw sweaty Ben Collins walking around a little bit earlier.
00:12:36.000And what Donald Trump has become, he's become a symbol of the regular American fighting for their rights against a regime that tries to crush the constitutional order and our small R Republican style of government.
00:12:49.000Jack, give me some idea of the vibe on the ground.
00:13:10.000But then there's also several hundred Antifa left-wing protesters.
00:13:14.000They're split on the other side of the park.
00:13:17.000The police is doing a pretty good job of keeping them and keeping everyone apart.
00:13:21.000There's also cars and trucks that are actually driving around.
00:13:25.000We're in the secure area here, but there's cars, there's trucks, there's pickup trucks, freight trucks driving around with flags, some supporting Trump, some anti-Trump.
00:13:36.000But it's interesting that you don't see anybody supporting Joe Biden.
00:13:39.000You don't see anybody supporting Alvin Bragg.
00:13:51.000And I'm not saying that in an MSNBC kind of way.
00:13:54.000I mean, it's actually been quite peaceful.
00:13:56.000People have come up and yelled at me and yelled this and that as I've been walking around here and there from the other side, but nobody's tried to, you know, take a swing or knock me over or attack with anything like that.
00:14:06.000When Marjorie Taylor Green came in here, the press nearly completely just bowled her over.
00:14:12.000You saw her security had to push back like linebackers.
00:14:26.000I was standing next to her, so I had to kind of push people out of the way just to be able to get there to speak from that bullhorn for the American people and for the fact that this isn't about left versus right right now.
00:14:41.000We understand what the establishment is trying to do.
00:14:44.000And these left-wing protesters that are here today that are going along with it, what I would say to them is: what's going to happen when that same government tyranny is turned on you and your leaders?
00:14:54.000Do you really want to go down this road or do you want to stick with the republic that we once had?
00:15:00.000But, Charlie, I said yesterday, I said in my speech today, watching that aerial view of the procession out of Mar-a-Lago, another procession, the motorcade, which is going to take place from Trump Tower down Fifth Avenue, right here to the courthouse very soon.
00:15:14.000You can hear the helicopters flying overhead, the sirens going on.
00:15:18.000This is, we are witnessing, Charlie, a funeral procession for our republic.
00:15:54.000They're doing it for absolutely immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional reasons.
00:16:00.000So, you must have to go through the process of mourning, and then you must remember the pit in your stomach of seeing Donald Trump, a duly elected president, perp walk for the first time in American history by these political cockroaches.
00:16:15.000I want to talk about relieffactor.com.
00:16:17.000I want you guys to check out relieffactor.com, 100% drug-free, knee pain, back pain, joint pain, elbow pain.
00:16:22.000Check out Relief Factor Energy, help makes your body make nutrients readily available.
00:17:43.000And Vivek wants to be the Republican nominee, but he is speaking out of what's happened to President Trump, unlike the other people running for president who are gutless wonders.
00:18:34.000And I say this as somebody who's running against Trump.
00:18:36.000That's why I've been so outspoken about this: is that those of us running against Trump have special credibility from Joe Biden to any other Republican in this primary to actually make that case.
00:18:47.000Now, I actually care about the law and legal details.
00:18:53.000The heart of this case is Alvin Bragg is actually bringing effectively a federal crime in state courts.
00:18:59.000The state crime he's alleging, the alleged business record falsification, is itself expired under the statute of limitations and is at most a misdemeanor.
00:19:10.000So he's tying this to a federal campaign finance violation.
00:19:13.000This is what I talked to about the former FEC chairman earlier today.
00:19:19.000One is actually he's got the law wrong.
00:19:21.000Because if somebody was going to use their own money to be able to say buy a suit or buy clothing using campaign funds, we say that's not allowed.
00:19:32.000President Trump or any other business leader who pays hush money for sexual claims like this, it would be wrong to use campaign funds actually to settle that.
00:19:40.000Yet Alvin Bragg is saying that the crime that was committed here is that he did not use campaign funds, that he used personal corporate funds to do it.
00:19:48.000But here's another dimension that nobody's looked at, Charlie, and I'm looking at this deeply because I am running for U.S. president.
00:19:54.000I've already pledged to say that one of the things I'm going to do in this country as president is fix the politicization of the justice system by pardoning anybody who was convicted as part of a politicized prosecution.
00:20:07.000That includes the likes of Douglas Mackey, who's now facing 10 years for making memes, making fun of Hillary Clinton supporters when people on the other side did the exact same thing, yet went unprosecuted.
00:20:18.000That includes certain January 6th defendants who were peaceful, not violent, and were denied due process.
00:20:24.000Those are controversial things as to say as a candidate, but I've pledged to say that if I'm president, I'm going to pardon those victims of political prosecution.
00:20:32.000President Trump's case fits that bill.
00:20:35.000Conventional wisdom will tell you, legal wisdom says that this is a state crime, not a federal crime, so U.S. president can't pardon them.
00:20:43.000That's wrong in this case because Bragg is actually charging this based on a federal offense.
00:20:49.000And if that federal offense were pardoned, be it by President Joe Biden or be it by President Vivek Ramaswamy, that state crime could not stand.
00:20:57.000And so I'm actually pledging to pardon not only the other victims of politicized federal prosecutions, but President Trump as well, not even because it's about President Trump, but because it's about this country.
00:21:08.000If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to you.
00:21:13.000That is actually the point and the principle we ought to defend.
00:21:16.000And it takes a leader who understands this stuff in depth and has the conviction, the spine, likely as an outsider instead of a professional politician, to actually do it, tells you why I'm in this race.
00:21:30.000So the way I look at this is there's two courses of action.
00:21:35.000The first course of action is we can continue to write strongly worded op-eds and tweets and hope the bad guys stop stabbing us, beating us up, pummeling us, suffocating our republic, and torturing and humiliating us and just hope it stops because we have strongly worded op-eds.
00:21:54.000Or we could say, man, what a tragic and awful day for America and internalize the absolute nastiness of this and then say, we unfortunately now have to embrace a lawfare strategy of deterrence to go indict BLM, to go investigate Soros, to go look into Antifa, to empower state AGs, NDAs, not celebrate the moment, but understand it necessitates that action.
00:23:21.000Talk about Anthony Fauci, Merrick Garland, James Comey, people who have reached beyond their own constitutional ordained authority, even Albin Bragg for prosecutorial mis for prosecutorial discretion.
00:23:31.000If there are violations of law there, we need to apply the law even-handedly.
00:23:36.000That is what it's going to take in this country, not as you put it, just strongly worded op-eds.
00:23:41.000I'm looking in the mirror here, right?
00:23:43.000I've written many of those strongly worded op-eds.
00:23:46.000I've started businesses to take these things, take this battle on through the market itself.
00:23:51.000But if we're really going to take this to the next level, we're going to have to take that America First agenda further than anybody, even Trump in his first term, was able to do and do it without apology because we're not doing it just with vengeance and grievance.
00:24:06.000We're doing it because that's what first principles demand.
00:24:09.000Do it with the moral authority that says that, yes, we are on the morally solid footing that allows us to go the distance further than we ever have or ever would have if we weren't doing it with that moral authority.
00:24:22.000Whether it's shutting down the politicized FBI, whether it is actually prosecuting all crimes even-handedly in this country, and then also stopping the federal government from protecting the select few in Congress, Jeffrey Epstein, client list, whatever it is.
00:24:54.000If we're just calling the spade a spade, we're using the Republican Party as a vehicle to advance our agenda.
00:24:59.000It has nothing to do with the essence of the Republican Party as it's existed.
00:25:04.000It's just a blank slate, a hollowed out husk.
00:25:06.000We're using it as a vehicle to achieve an America First agenda.
00:25:10.000But if we acknowledge that, I think a lot of independents, a lot of people who are even outside of politics, see the corrupt police state and come along with us.
00:25:17.000Look, we need purpox, we need handcuffs, we need indictments.
00:25:20.000For example, New York Post story, yeah, New York Post story shows, and just one of many.
00:25:24.000These Democrats, they commit crimes all over the place because they don't think the law applauds to them.
00:25:29.000Jimmy Biden, which is Joe Biden's brother, he allegedly defrauded healthcare companies in Florida and Tennessee.
00:25:38.000Where's the indictment or investigation against him?
00:25:40.000Oh, you're trying to tell me there's no spine?
00:26:24.000What's one step further than you mentioned, Charlie, is actually many of these crimes that Trump has alleged of, they're not even actual crimes.
00:26:30.000Whereas the things you're talking about, even you're talking about Anthony Fauci.
00:26:33.000You want to talk about what's going on with Hunter Biden.
00:26:35.000There are actual crimes hiding in plain sight that we're not going after.
00:26:39.000So it's not that, oh, you went for these small crimes.
00:26:42.000They're going after non-crimes and yet using police power to protect the select few from even going after them.
00:26:48.000So I think you have to win on both counts is depoliticize the system from going after made-up crimes, actually go after the real crimes that they're hiding and protecting people from.
00:26:58.000That's what it's going to take more than just rhetoric.
00:27:00.000It's going to take executive action from the top, setting that tone for our police administrative state to do the right thing.
00:27:08.000We have a buffet line of options of potential indictments against these criminals.
00:27:13.000We got the Clinton Foundation, we got BLM, Open Society Foundation, we got Antifa, we got Zuckerbox's Center for Technology and Civic Life.
00:27:21.000What we need is a Republican AG, which is not attorneys general.
00:27:24.000It is aspiring governor because all they want to do is move up the ladder and say, hey, pal, actually, you're not going to win a primary.
00:27:31.000You're not going to come to a Lincoln Reagan Day dinner.
00:27:33.000You're not going to come to a little coffee until we start to see Purple Ox handcuffs and subpoenas and indictments.
00:29:35.000So just to get a little idea of who's supporting this indictment, this is a public nudist on the street of New York who, just a little bit of a picture of the spiritual darkness, the motivating, let's just say, actions of these people.
00:29:52.000This goes to show who exactly is supporting Donald Trump, the indictment of Donald Trump.
00:30:35.000Now, that's a real person outside the courthouse.
00:30:37.000You know, wouldn't bother be wearing clothes saying I'm black, I like violence.
00:30:40.000I'm a black animal saying that on the streets.
00:30:43.000Now, obviously, there's some mental problems there, but obviously, you know, if you have mental problems, you get to compete in female sports.
00:30:50.000So it's not as if mental problems, you know, prevents you from being taken seriously.
00:30:55.000I mean, our president has dementia, for God's sakes.
00:30:58.000I mean, John Fetterman can't speak in sentences, so it's not exactly a disqualifying factor anymore.
00:31:03.000It's actually, it seems to be a, it seems to be a characteristic that gets you higher in life, tragically.
00:31:09.000Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com right there.
00:31:17.000Let's go to Morning Joe has some comments here.
00:31:21.000They say, don't show Donald Trump on TV.
00:31:23.000You see, the people that are the defenders of democracy, the people that want a free and open press, they say, we shouldn't even televise Donald Trump in New York.
00:31:35.000But doing three hours of hero shots, and if he walks down to the courthouse, seriously, anybody that takes that live is just, You need to report in-kind contributions to the Donald Trump campaign against Ron DeSantis.
00:31:49.000It doesn't have to be the OJ Bronco chase.
00:32:13.000So their plan right now, this is a couple-step plan.
00:32:18.000They want to try to get Donald Trump in what he perceives to be a corner.
00:32:22.000They think this is what they learned from January 6th.
00:32:26.000They think this is what they learned from that Cassidy liar, that Donald Trump will act erratically and will then try to get his supporters to do something uncharacteristic.
00:32:39.000They're trying to create the preconditions and the pretext for January 6th, 2.0, a Fed surrection, where people are going to act in a way that will then validate the national security state.
00:32:52.000We very well might be on the verge of a bank collapse, a currency collapse.
00:32:57.000They're going to try to capitalize and seize on your heightened tensions.
00:33:03.000And then the symbol of the MAGA movement being indicted unjustly, how are you going to act?
00:33:09.000Not only is this a Soviet show trial to try to put it on full display to try to demoralize you, they simultaneously want to try to, they want to try to input the proper ingredients and the recipe that could make another January 6th filled with federal agents, filled with false narratives, that then all of a sudden they can then use the national security state in an unprecedented way.
00:33:32.000There's information optics involved in all of this.
00:33:34.000It's very important that they're trying to use you as pawns in their game.
