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.
00:01:09.000Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show, January 29, 2026, here at the Bitcoin.com studios.
00:01:14.000To our Real America's Voice audience, we are going to cut away just briefly from the president's cabinet meeting, and we will get back to that in just a sec, but we want to talk with FBI Director Kash Patel, who is making time to join us here.
00:01:40.000There was an FBI warrant that was executed at the main election warehouse operations center in Fulton County, Georgia, relating to the 2020 election.
00:02:03.000President Trump, under his leadership and under the Department of Justice and the Attorney General, have made it a priority to reduce crime and safeguard American citizenry.
00:02:12.000That's why this FBI, along with our partners, were able to produce a reduction in the murder rate by 20 percentage points from coast to coast.
00:02:20.000That is an all time record for the modern era.
00:02:22.000This FBI has arrested 67,000 people in the last year.
00:02:25.000That's a 210% increase from the year before, and we're seizing fentanyl at record levels, enough to kill 150 million Americans, 35% more espionage arrests.
00:02:36.000The reason I go through these statistics is because within these statistics are lives saved and communities safeguarded by President Trump's brilliant leadership and our great partners at the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pambondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch.
00:02:49.000And the reason I bring these things out, and we captured six top 10 of the FBI's most wanted in one year, including Ryan Wedding and another individual in Mexico just last week where I was.
00:02:59.000And the reason I go through this is because we, thanks to President Trump, are a law enforcement police force for the United States government.
00:03:17.000It was a DOJ and FBI effort to present after an extended period of time of investigations, because as you know, any of these cases, the ones I just talked about in general or this one specifically, take time to develop.
00:03:31.000We have to go out and conduct investigations, interrogations, interviews, collect information, data, and synthesize them with our brilliant partners at DOJ to present.
00:03:41.000The FBI and DOJ presented this information to a judge in Georgia, where they determined the judge that there was a finding for probable cause, following the constitutional precepts that are necessary to safeguard an investigation, just like any other we do.
00:03:56.000And what we did yesterday was we presented our facts and the findings of the investigation, and the judge determined there was probable cause.
00:04:16.000And it's not one of those matters where I'm saying, trust us.
00:04:19.000I'm saying, look at the last year under President Trump's leadership, what this DOJ and FBI has done.
00:04:25.000Record levels of safety across America.
00:04:28.000And we are going after the worst of the worst, including child predators.
00:04:31.000And our arrests on child predators and disrupting child predator networks are up anywhere from 50 to 500 percent, depending on the category.
00:04:38.000So we're taking the same mindset to every kind of investigation.
00:04:42.000And that's what you saw unfold yesterday the leadership of the DOJ and FBI on the ground going and presenting facts to a neutral and detached arbiter of justice, the judge, who authorized a search warrant, and we collected more information.
00:04:55.000So, Director Patel, there were multiple truckloads of materials, including boxes of ballots, physical ballots from 2020, ballot images, 2020 voter rolls, tabulators potentially, tapes.
00:05:28.000And then what we do is we speak through our public papers in court.
00:05:31.000And what we will do next over the course of time with the Department of Justice is move to have the search warrant unsealed so that the American public can read whatever material that we put in there.
00:05:43.000Right now, that of course remains under seal, so I can't discuss it.
00:05:47.000And also, I want to highlight that we don't want to jeopardize any piece of this investigation by releasing information, not just prematurely, but we as officers of the court.
00:05:56.000Our U.S. attorneys and our FBI agents are responsible and committed under the law to abide by the parameters of the search warrant.
00:06:03.000And that's the rubric we're operating under right now.
00:06:05.000So I think you'll see, again, given the last year that we've had under President Trump, that we divulge information.
00:06:12.000We produce information to Congress and the public at record levels.
00:06:16.000And we're going to continue to do that, but we're not going to jeopardize the investigation.
00:06:19.000Yesterday was a big public facing step.
00:06:21.000And you're right, you saw trucks, you saw material being removed.
00:06:24.000And what the FBI will do is now analyze that information, and we will take the next investigatory steps with our Department of Justice partners.
00:06:31.000The FBI and DOJ will run this investigation as we have every other investigation that has resulted in these record achievements for the president and under the president's leadership for America.
00:06:41.000What can you tell us about the timeline that we obviously understand?
00:07:38.000Once we go through that and we discuss the matter with Department of Justice and FBI personnel, then we'll make any next public facing steps for permitted without.
00:07:59.000And that's what the president wants us to do follow the facts and the law.
00:08:03.000And that's all we're doing here at DOJ and FBI.
00:08:05.000And we're just thankful that we have a great attorney general and deputy attorney general and great FBI personnel who dedicated themselves, not just to this mission, but to the entire mission of keeping America safe.
00:08:21.000The results speak for themselves, and the results, after one year, will hopefully give the American public confidence that we will handle this investigation no differently than any other.
00:08:31.000Director Patel, the Fulton County chairman has been complaining that he says the ballots are no longer safe and secure because the FBI has them, that they've lost.
00:09:42.000You know, the calculus in terms of the statute is always for our brilliant attorneys at DOJ who we work in conjunction with, and we always abide by.
00:09:52.000The statute of limitations and any constitutional parameters that we have, but we were able to effectuate the search warrant in a timely fashion legally and had a judge make a finding of probable cause.
00:10:42.000We will wait on bated breath for updates on this case, as I know you know, Director Patel, just how much this means to the base and President Trump supporters.
00:12:30.000As a guy who comes from rancher stock in Nevada, I can appreciate it.
00:12:34.000So we've got, I'm looking at ABC right now, one of the monitors here, and it's saying that the Senate funding bill has run into a roadblock here.
00:12:44.000We've got Schumer making demands about DHS and ICE.
00:13:50.000Do it's this is what's ridiculous is the CR actually spends more money when DHS we were actually cutting, um, DHS by a pretty significant amount because the one big beautiful bill put so much money in DHS's account that they're able to move stuff around.
00:14:07.000So, even if this goes into a shutdown, even if they even if they did shut down and we don't get a CR on DHS, it does nothing to keep IH, uh, ICE or DHS funded.
00:14:18.000It does nothing because they have enough money in their accounts from the one big beautiful bill.
00:14:24.000To actually still pay the officers for almost four years.
00:14:27.000But what it does shut down is TSA agents, FEMA, it shuts down the Secret Service, and it shuts down the Coast Guard.
00:14:36.000So, the thing that they've literally planted their flag on does nothing.
00:14:40.000And even Patty Murray, who's part of Democrat leadership, came out and said the same thing.
00:14:46.000So, this is completely performative from the Democrats.
00:15:54.000Well, we would love for you to do that, but that's not what we're talking about.
00:15:58.000When we have ICE agents and Border Patrol, DHS that are under siege, that are getting attacked, we expect you to protect them because they're American citizens.
00:16:23.000We're not, we're not, yeah, but go ahead.
00:16:25.000Well, Mayor Fry came out and said that he's not there to enforce immigration laws, federal immigration laws, which is absurd because if you start thinking about that, he doesn't get to pick and choose that.
00:17:29.000I thought he did a really, really good job.
00:17:31.000Well, and here's the point nobody wants people dying, although we've seen now clips of this Alex Pretty guy who's kicking taillights, spitting on ICE officers, and saying, Come on, MFers, assault me.
00:18:26.000Listen, we did it right here in Washington, D.C., where over 90% of the population in Washington, D.C. voted Democrat.
00:18:33.000You couldn't get a more liberal city than Washington, D.C.
00:18:36.000And even the mayor of Washington, D.C. came in and thanked President Trump for putting ice on the street and putting the National Guard on the streets.
00:18:47.000And then, when you start seeing what happened in Memphis, which seems in New Orleans, which you've seen in St. Louis, which even in Chicago, you didn't see this kind of rhetoric take place.
00:18:56.000This is happening because Minneapolis leadership is refusing to cooperate and actually working against DHS.
00:19:04.000If they were doing their job, listen, ICE wouldn't even be on the streets.
00:19:08.000ICE would simply be showing up at the detention centers, which Tom was talking about, and picking up the criminals that they were getting off their streets.
00:19:15.000So, if they want ICE off the street, then say you're going to enforce federal law.
00:19:19.000If you're saying you're not going to enforce federal law, Then the federal government is obligated to do so.
00:19:25.000Yeah, and I think they're hiding behind some pretty well established sanctuary city precedent here and what they consider established legal precedent.
00:21:30.000Over the finish line, Andrew, is if it would probably have to do in the fact that we've got rid of the filibuster in some form.
00:21:41.000I don't think we could ever get 60 votes on this.
00:21:44.000Now, you could see where the political wind may change, but the Democrats are, you know, they don't want anybody to have to have any ID to vote.
00:21:52.000They want anybody to show up and not even have to prove that they're even live in the district or in the precinct or they're a U.S. citizen.
00:22:01.000They just want everybody to be able to.
00:22:04.000What would what so if we're gonna because I've seen it floated that they're you know the nuking the filibuster for appropriations or funding bills.
00:22:12.000Is there something you could do in a limited window that maybe Thune would find palatable?
00:22:17.000You know, maybe it's about immigration or voting integrity.
00:22:20.000Is there some category that you could exempt?
00:22:23.000I think it's more likely to be on funding.
00:22:25.000Remember, we did this with judges, uh, so this isn't new.
00:22:28.000We in 2017, um, they we with Mitch McConnell, we did it for the judges.
00:22:41.000If we were to do it, it would have to go through funding because there would be funding that would have to be made available for it because we'd have to work with the states to get the proper ID for them to do it, or it'd have to be a real ID.
00:22:54.000My argument is I don't think it would cost us $1 because the real ID is already considered a federal ID.
00:23:02.000So as long as you had a photo ID that was a real ID, that was a driver's license, or an ID that you get, I think it works, but more than likely, this would be part of a funding bill, which could take place possibly when we start doing FY27, which is because FY26 is almost over.
00:23:22.000We've got all the appropriation bills.
00:23:23.000I mean, the House has already done all 12 of them, which is amazing for them to do.
00:23:26.000We're about ready to do 11, have only one holdover.
00:23:29.000FY27, if we were to find ourselves leading into a shutdown before the primary, this could absolutely be part of the discussion.
00:23:50.000Because technically, yes, because the FY26 funding runs out September 30th.
00:23:55.000So, we start the new physical year October 1st.
00:23:59.000So, if we did it in September 30th, that is more than enough time for the November election to have availability to do it.
00:24:08.000Now, there's a lot of what ifs in this, Andrew, because It would have to be that the Democrats are moving us to a shutdown.
00:24:16.000So, if they were moving us to a shutdown to avoid a shutdown, timing is the most important thing we could ever have because moving to a shutdown would be devastating for us in the midterm.
00:24:26.000So, there would be a lot of people that want to avoid that.
00:24:28.000So, that's when the filibuster narrowly changing for appropriations only could work.
00:26:16.000I think you could tighten the language up enough that you could move it forward prior to that happening.
00:26:22.000There's a lot to this, Andrew, because we, for instance, mail out ballots need to go out 45 days before the election for deployed troops.
00:26:32.000And so, but they obviously have the right to vote.
00:26:36.000So the thing you could do it on is in person voting or when you walk in to hand the ballot, some of the stuff would be litigated through that and be a mess.
00:26:57.000Turning Point has, for our staff at Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action is going to be contributing $1,000 to all newborn kids from our staff.
00:27:05.000By the way, we've got a bunch of pregnant ladies running around here.
00:27:09.000So, like, this is going to be an expensive promise.
00:27:26.000This could change the game and make people capitalists at age seven.
00:27:31.000I could imagine a bunch of nine and 10 year olds being like, hey, our stock is up today.
00:27:35.000By the way, if you win a spelling bee, they could be like, hey, I'm going to put 25 bucks into your Invest America account.
00:27:41.000If you win a sports championship, it's a way where moms, dads, grandfathers, companies, employers, you can tokenize this where kids can actually then.
00:27:50.000Save their entire childhood and have something to point forward to and be co owners in America, not just renters.
00:28:12.000But then over the holidays, they said they had an unexpected pregnancy, right?
00:28:17.000And most kids, when they get younger or when they get married younger, I say kids, my kids are younger, but they don't have money to put in a savings account.
00:28:25.000And if you can imagine, you put $1,000 in, and if you don't put another penny in, And you keep that set there invested until you're able to draw Social Security.
00:28:35.000You'll have over $2 million in it, and your payment will be more than Social Security.
00:28:40.000So, not only is the president saying, hey, Social Security isn't actually the best idea for just retirement, but let's go ahead and set them up for success.
00:28:50.000But God forbid something happens when you're 18, 19, 20, or 25, or 30 and you have to grab it because of some unexpected ordeal.
00:28:58.000It gives you the ability to have something to fall back on when most.
00:29:02.000People, especially young people, they don't have a nest egg to fall back on.
00:29:06.000This allows you to make choices for your future and teaches you how to be responsible.
00:29:20.000But we started investing in an account for them.
00:29:22.000My 22 year old son today called me about buying additional stock to invest in his account that he already has because he doesn't want to touch it because he sees it growing.
00:29:36.000There's a lot of ownership inside this.
00:29:37.000And of course, leave it up to President Trump, who's a business guy, Charlie Kirk, who's a business guy that can see the future in this when Democrats can't argue against it, but I bet you they would if they could.
00:30:02.000So if you fully fund one of these accounts, so you get $1,000 seed money.
00:30:05.000And then you fund it with parents, grandparents, spelling beast championship, philanthropists, which is $5,000 a year.
00:30:12.000By the time they're 21, according to SP trends over the years, it could be worth between $400,000 and $500,000 for a 21 year old.
00:30:19.000And get this if you hold the principal till 28, because of compound interest, because then you're really gaining momentum, it could be worth $1.9 million.
00:30:30.000They have it at 1.09, but I looked it up.
00:30:55.000Blake, here's the thing on that is when the first time most people go bust, they go bankrupt, they learn from it.
00:31:02.000And so when they waste money like that, the next time they start a Accumulating it because if you've done it once, sometimes you feel like you can do it again.
00:31:09.000There's motivation to do it again because you know it's possible.
00:31:11.000When you don't know it's possible, you don't know what starts to reach towards.
00:31:15.000And so, even those that fail because they go blow it on something stupid, that'll be a life lesson at 28 rather than at 58.
00:31:26.000Center, last topic, and then we got two minutes here, so I got to go quick.
00:31:30.000461, Bruce Springsteen comes out with a new song, and I just, I'm so infuriated by it.
00:31:54.000All right, so he says they've been roaming and killing, and they're going to remember the names of Renee Good and Alex Preddy, the people who died.
00:32:02.000And it just occurs to me: where's the song for Jocelyn Nungary?
