00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, a tender offer from Elon Musk when it comes to Twitter, and also an experience I had at a bar in Wheeling, Illinois, and a little bit of an overview of Candace Owens and I visit to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

00:00:47.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:48.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:51.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:54.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:57.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:58.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:59.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:08.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:17.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:19.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:22.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.

00:01:25.000 Go to AndrewandTodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandodd.com.

00:01:31.000 So, yesterday we had an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the phenomenal Candace Owens, standing room only. 0.91

00:01:38.000 We could have packed it out even more, but it was on campus, which was really great.

00:01:42.000 Thank you to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for allowing us to host it.

00:01:45.000 So, we've been doing this for a couple of years.

00:01:47.000 I personally, and also Candace and I, and we at Turning Point USA have been doing this for 10 years now.

00:01:53.000 We've seen a lot, and we've seen protests, we've seen attempts at disruption and interruption, we've seen people throw stuff at us, trying to play music to drown us out.

00:02:03.000 Candace and I have been driven out of restaurants, had water thrown at us, like harassment, death threats, the whole gamut, right?

00:02:10.000 We've really experienced that all.

00:02:12.000 One thing that I've heard, though, in the past, and I always kind of had it in the back of my mind, was a tactic that is used primarily, by the way, in Northeast schools, Ivy League schools, and Canadian schools as well, is a rather brutal and dare, and dare I say, it is an illegal tactic.

00:02:29.000 It is against the law to do, which is to pull a fire alarm in the midst of the event.

00:02:33.000 And so, Candace and I get our event started, and we're having a nice time.

00:02:37.000 And, you know, everyone's really excited and really energized.

00:02:40.000 And there you go, three to five minutes into the event, you know, the fire alarm is going off.

00:02:45.000 And people are getting a little nervous.

00:02:46.000 And I knew exactly what was happening.

00:02:48.000 And we'll get the clip out.

00:02:49.000 It's actually a kind of a fun clip.

00:02:51.000 Okay, Andrew's getting the audio.

00:02:52.000 We could do it today or tomorrow, whenever.

00:02:53.000 We'll put it on social media.

00:02:55.000 And as soon as it hits, you know, everyone's kind of looking around.

00:02:57.000 What do we do?

00:02:58.000 I say, everyone, don't go anywhere.

00:02:59.000 I said, we are not leaving.

00:03:01.000 The chances that there is a fire is like nothing.

00:03:04.000 This is a tactic to try to get this event canceled.

00:03:08.000 And imagine if we would have actually fallen for the fire alarm.

00:03:11.000 We all would have had to leave the building in the cold, super rainy, kind of sleety, 35 degrees Milwaukee evening, come back in.

00:03:19.000 It would have disrupted the event totally.

00:03:21.000 That's their intent.

00:03:22.000 And so then the intercom comes from above and they say, the fire alarm has been activated.

00:03:27.000 Please leave the building.

00:03:29.000 And I said, yeah, we're going to leave the building if you can prove there's a fire.

00:03:32.000 And the audience enjoyed that.

00:03:34.000 So we didn't leave.

00:03:34.000 We kind of stayed put.

00:03:36.000 And then after a couple of minutes, our wonderful security team, of course, they knew what it was all about.

00:03:40.000 They went right to it and they got the alarm all sorted out.

00:03:42.000 Now, this was a masked, hooded, still anonymous individual who broke the law.

00:03:48.000 You are not allowed to erroneously pull fire alarms with the intent of trying to disrupt an event.

00:03:54.000 I don't think it's a felony, but it's definitely against the law.

00:03:58.000 And I want you to think about this, though.

00:04:00.000 This is something I was reflecting on last evening, which is how far has this country fallen where when I'm on stage, my first instinct and reaction as soon as I hear a fire alarm is not that something is wrong, but someone wants me to leave the building.

00:04:18.000 And that's not a healthy situation to be in.

00:04:20.000 If your first instinct is that this is the boy who cried wolf to try to get me off stage, I don't want to live in that country.

00:04:29.000 We need to change that, is what I'm saying.

00:04:31.000 Is that it should be where it would be so unthinkable to pull a fire alarm.

00:04:35.000 I should want to take that seriously.

00:04:38.000 Instead, I knew immediately what it was.

00:04:40.000 I said, this is what they do all the time.

00:04:42.000 Coincidence.

00:04:42.000 Yeah.

00:04:42.000 Fire alarm.

00:04:44.000 As soon as we hit the stage.

00:04:46.000 We did not find the guy.

00:04:47.000 They did not get him arrested yet or her.

00:04:51.000 Totally anonymous because of the masks and the hood.

00:04:56.000 So the event went on without a glitch from that point forward.

00:04:59.000 Candace was terrific and we fielded questions and a lot of the clips are going to go viral.

00:05:03.000 I'm confident of that.

00:05:05.000 And so then afterwards, it was really late at night.

00:05:08.000 I had plans to go to a certain restaurant.

00:05:10.000 Didn't go to that restaurant.

00:05:11.000 And then I went to kind of a local bar, if you will, where I drank club soda while everyone else was having a good time.

00:05:19.000 And it's kind of like a local cheers bar, if you will, kind of the local neighborhood area for the Wheeling area, kind of where I grew up.

00:05:26.000 And first, it's kind of a hangout of the muscular class, right?

00:05:29.000 Police officers, firefighters, plumbers.

00:05:32.000 Some people recognized us, but it was so interesting.

00:05:34.000 There is a stirring happening in our country right now, like a legitimate stirring.

00:05:39.000 People are angry.

00:05:41.000 And then a couple of people came into the bar that I knew growing up.

00:05:44.000 And it was like, it's been 10 years since I've seen them.

00:05:47.000 And people that I remembered as Democrats, like legit Obama Democrats.

00:05:52.000 And you would have thought that I was talking to like Tucker Carlson.

00:05:57.000 I mean, they are, they're upset, they're motivated.

00:06:00.000 And it was only said about five or six times.

00:06:02.000 I can't wait for November.

00:06:04.000 I can't wait for November.

00:06:05.000 Like, I'm not even saying this.

00:06:07.000 I'm just, I'm just trying to watch the basketball game the Bulls were on, which despite my protest against the National Basketball Association, I'm still pulling for the Bulls.

00:06:16.000 And people kept coming up and they said, Charlie, we got to take back the house.

00:06:20.000 I'm like, I know.

00:06:21.000 I'm just, I'm trying to have a meal here.

00:06:22.000 Like, totally.

00:06:23.000 And I wasn't like annoyed.

00:06:24.000 I was just blown away that there is this pressure cooker that has been activated in America.

00:06:31.000 There is a stirring from the bottom up.

00:06:33.000 And it was, and then three cops came over, muscular class guys, and they all recognized what we were doing and were super nice.

00:06:41.000 And they said they were Democrats their entire life.

00:06:43.000 They're now all Republicans.

00:06:45.000 And I'm thinking to myself, like, this is not normal.

00:06:49.000 Like, we have not seen this kind of spark of enthusiasm.

00:06:54.000 And if all of a sudden the local neighborhood bar, which is supposed to be kind of like a neutral territory, you know, you kind of hang out, you see some people and you watch some sports is all of a sudden turned into kind of like the local Republican precinct headquarters where they're talking about like, what candidates running for this?

00:07:11.000 Like, can we get rid of Pritzker?

00:07:13.000 And like, we got to take, you know, we got to try to take back the house and we got to impeach Joe Biden.

00:07:18.000 I'm like, what is going on here?

00:07:20.000 This is the suburbs of Chicago.

00:07:21.000 Like, this is supposed to be, if anything, they might like disagree with Biden, but they kind of take a step back.

00:07:27.000 And so one other thing I was really struck by is these people that used to be Democrats, a lot of them, who obviously hate the regime are going to vote against it, is the insistence on Ron DeSantis.

00:07:41.000 So I just asked him, I said, who do you guys like?

00:07:42.000 And like, unanimous, like eight of them, DeSantis, DeSantis, DeSantis, DeSantis.

00:07:46.000 I'm like, whoa.

00:07:48.000 And I said, why?

00:07:48.000 They said, he's a leader.

00:07:49.000 He's fighting.

00:07:51.000 He's unafraid to stand up against the media.

00:07:53.000 And they even said, many of them, we don't agree with everything he's done, but we think he's doing what he's doing for the right reasons.

00:08:00.000 He's defending his voters, and he's all of what we want with courage and charisma.

00:08:07.000 Wow, that's so interesting.

00:08:10.000 And this is a microcosm, obviously, but the national polling is showing that this is happening as well.

00:08:21.000 That this is not just an isolated incident.

00:08:25.000 And so one other kind of person came up and all they wanted to talk about was like, why is it that local schools are now talking about transgender stuff to kids?

00:08:35.000 It's like, yeah, I don't know.

00:08:37.000 And again, I have no expectation coming to this like local bar, only place serving food at like 10.30 at night after our event with Candace Owens.

00:08:44.000 And I got to thinking about like this cut.

00:08:46.000 Let's go to Cut 72, Jen Psaki, saying that it should be normal for teachers to talk with kindergartners about if they're a girl or a boy.

00:08:53.000 Now, mind you, at this bar, we're like bikers and truckers, welders and plumbers, mechanics, police officers.

00:08:58.000 It's who we call the muscular class.

00:09:00.000 You want to know why the muscular class have become like rabid right-wingers?

00:09:05.000 This is why.

00:09:05.000 Play Cut 72.

00:09:07.000 And so what do you do if a parent or a kid, should I say, a kid in one of these elementary schools says, what about Sally?

00:09:16.000 Sally has two moms. 0.67

00:09:17.000 Or I'm not sure if I'm a girl or a boy.

00:09:20.000 I mean, these are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in their lives.

00:09:27.000 Yeah.

00:09:27.000 You want to know why all of a sudden the local neighborhood bar has been activated into now kind of mobilizing for local Republican action?

00:09:36.000 It's because you have the top levels of our government not concerned about inflation or gas prices, not concerned about the deterioration of kind of national morale, not about drug overdoses, but they're worried about whether kindergarten teachers are able to talk about some of the most controversial and radical subjects and topics.

00:09:55.000 We're seeing a realignment happening.

00:09:57.000 I'm telling you, there's something special. 0.98

00:09:59.000 Hispanics are going to the Republican direction in massive numbers.

00:10:04.000 We're starting to see moms rise up. 1.00

00:10:06.000 The Parents Party is just strengthening. 0.50

00:10:09.000 And meanwhile, we have the pervert party, the Democrats, that are super focused on trying to teach your kids about hyper sensitive sexual matters. 0.73

00:10:22.000 What's so great about this moment, and I really hope this can be, I hope this can be scaled for years and decades to come because I'm seeing a winning coalition start to come together.

00:10:33.000 I'm seeing a winning coalition of people of different backgrounds and religious affiliations and all kind of have agreement on liberty, on free expression, separation of powers, on borders.

00:10:45.000 And so we're seeing this happen in a lot of different ways.

00:10:47.000 We're going to get into some of the news, by the way, of Elon Musk, who looks like he is going to do a tender offer, $40 billion plus dollar tender offer of Twitter, which is incredibly exciting.

00:11:00.000 Musk secures $46.5 billion in funding to buy Twitter, says he's ready for tender offer, which technically means that then the people that own shares, of which I will be one very soon, I'm going to go buy some shares of Twitter just so that I will be able to vote on it.

00:11:20.000 And I will come back to Twitter if Musk succeeds.

00:11:23.000 I will.

00:11:23.000 If Musk ends up being the owner of Twitter, I will happily become a participant in that.

00:11:32.000 However, right now, not going to happen.

00:11:35.000 Disney is down major.

00:11:37.000 Disney is down 20% year to date.

00:11:42.000 Netflix lost 38% of its market value yesterday, 38%.

00:11:48.000 So we're seeing the forces of kind of gravity.

00:11:52.000 Remember, team reality, that's what we're on.

00:11:54.000 We don't try to overthink it.

00:11:55.000 We have the humility, hopefully, I pray, every day to know that we are tied to the pesky shackles of reality, that you just don't get to create your own existence out of your wishes and your feelings out of the abstract.

00:12:09.000 Like, actually, no, we are going to have to live by the laws of nature and nature is God.

00:12:15.000 And one of the experiments in pushing how far reality can go is a $1 billion project that has now been completely and totally scrapped.

00:12:28.000 CNN Plus, the $1 billion project from Warner Brothers, is now canceled.

00:12:38.000 CNN Plus, the cable's network subscription service, is folding after just four weeks after its launch in late March.

00:12:46.000 According to the New York Times, CNN Plus will cease operations on Saturday, April 30th.

00:12:52.000 CNN launched on March 29th and was offered either a $6 a month or $60 a year.

00:12:58.000 In addition to its on-demand library of services and films, CNN Plus featured live online programming hosted by CNN staples and anchors who were poached from other networks like Chris Wallace and NBC News Cassie Hunt.

00:13:10.000 After just a couple weeks, it was such a failure that they had to scrap it all together.

00:13:16.000 They were planning to spend a billion dollars on it.

00:13:18.000 Chris Wallace, okay.

00:13:21.000 Chris Wallace left Fox News and came to CNN and has been a total failure.

00:13:30.000 CNN Plus is just another example of the forces of market gravity working against the woke.

00:13:41.000 So you have Twitter that is now being taken over by Elon Musk.

00:13:45.000 You have Netflix that is cratering.

00:13:46.000 You have Disney that is cratering.

00:13:49.000 And now CNN Plus is not just doing poorly, it's done.

00:13:52.000 It's over.

00:13:54.000 In nine days, CNN Plus will be completely scrapped.

00:13:59.000 What is winning is what is organic.

00:14:01.000 We could not find a space big enough in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to fit all the people that wanted to come here from Candace Owens and I.

00:14:09.000 We couldn't find.

00:14:10.000 And by the way, not only do we do that, we did that the same night at the same time the defending NBA champions, Milwaukee Bucks, were playing Chicago in Milwaukee.

00:14:20.000 And we still filled it up.

00:14:22.000 And we could have had probably five or ten times as many people.

00:14:25.000 I think we could have had 3,000, 4,000 people if we really would have promoted it and we would have got a bigger arena.

00:14:30.000 People are hungry right now.

00:14:32.000 And what's amazing is when people come up and ask questions, there's some people that are like, you know, love you guys.

00:14:36.000 Some people are just like, hey, I'm agreeing with a lot of what you're saying.

00:14:39.000 How about this?

00:14:40.000 Can you clarify that?

00:14:42.000 The curiosity of, hey, why is this country all of a sudden falling apart?

00:14:46.000 I don't understand.

00:14:50.000 So what are Western values?

00:14:52.000 Western values, of course, freedom of speech, discourse, dialogue, separation of powers, checks and balances, consent of the governed.

00:14:59.000 Now, we are in a situation where the oligarchs, the people in charge of our society, we call them the elites, the ruling class, they're doing everything they possibly can to make sure that speech is not able to happen online.

00:15:10.000 Well, Elon Musk is now trying to do something about it.

00:15:14.000 Elon Musk is coming in with $40 plus billion dollars to do a tender offer of Twitter.

00:15:20.000 Breaking news this morning, it looks like it's going to be that offer is going to happen.

00:15:25.000 Funding secured and one of the largest asset transfers in the history of business, Cut 68.

00:15:31.000 Elon Musk, play Cut 68.

00:15:34.000 Take a look at Twitter, please.

00:15:36.000 Elon Musk says, and this is important.

00:15:38.000 Musk says he has secured $46.5 billion in commitments to help finance a potential Twitter deal.

00:15:45.000 Sounds like he's got the money to me, and the stock is up 1%.

00:15:49.000 How about Tesla?

00:15:51.000 Is having a stellar day after a blowout earnings report.

00:15:54.000 Stellar indeed, it's up nearly 9%, 1,064 bucks per share.

00:15:59.000 So, Tesla, which has a philosophy from its CEO, which is not woke, is ascending and is growing.

00:16:09.000 CNN Plus has shuttered after a couple weeks.

00:16:12.000 And Twitter is now going to receive a tender offer.

00:16:15.000 A tender offer means that the board of directors will not be the only ones that vote on this.

00:16:21.000 A tender offer means every shareholder will have an opportunity whether or not to accept or deny the bid from Elon Musk.

00:16:28.000 So, I'm going to tell the guy that manages my stocks for me, hey, go buy a couple shares of Twitter.

00:16:33.000 I'm going to go vote on it.

00:16:35.000 So, I'm going to go buy what are Twitter shares are probably up today on the news, if I'm not mistaken.

00:16:39.000 Yeah, they're up a little bit, and actually, not that bad.

00:16:40.000 It's 46 bucks.

00:16:42.000 It is the least I can do.

00:16:44.000 So, I'm going to send a text in the break.

00:16:45.000 So, hey, go buy a couple shares of Twitter.

00:16:48.000 And by the way, if the tender offer goes through, the stock price is going to go up.

00:16:51.000 And this is all public information.

00:16:54.000 And so, I'm going to do that.

00:16:55.000 You should as well, if you want to vote on whether or not Elon Musk should be able to take it off.

00:17:01.000 You want to talk about democracy dying in darkness?

00:17:03.000 Well, let's turn Twitter into a democracy, at least for right now.

00:17:07.000 Let's all go buy shares and we can vote on them.

00:17:09.000 Producer Andrew is going to buy some.

00:17:11.000 I'm sure producer Connor will.

00:17:13.000 And we're just going to get, I'm going to not for anything else, then I want to be able to vote on Elon Musk doing a tender offer to take over Twitter, which I believe is fundamental for online discourse and for a free society.

00:17:25.000 And if Twitter creators, I'm not going to go buy a bunch of Twitter stock.

00:17:28.000 I'm going to buy a couple of shares.

00:17:29.000 It's like whatever.

00:17:30.000 It's like, it's like going out to lunch now, $46, unfortunately.

00:17:33.000 Going out to lunch is a lot cheaper than that.

00:17:35.000 So I encourage, if you're interested in actually saying, what can I do?

00:17:38.000 You go buy a share or two or Twitter, a tender offer, you'll get something in the mail.

00:17:42.000 Oh, you'll get notified with an opportunity to vote on whether or not this deal goes through.

00:17:48.000 I'm maxing out my knowledge on merger and acquisition law.

00:17:52.000 But from every expert I've talked to, and I've talked to a couple billionaires in this business, just kind of texting back and forth, that all seems to check out and seems to be correct as Elon Musk now comes with the funding to do that.

00:18:05.000 Okay, let's get to some sound here.

00:18:07.000 Cut 71, short montage of mainstream media going after Musk for wanting to buy Twitter, calling the move dangerous.

00:18:14.000 Play cut 71.

00:18:16.000 Elon Musk wants to change the way we tweet, but could his obsession with free speech on the platform take us down a dangerous path?

00:18:22.000 Elon Musk's hostile takeover bid for Twitter.

00:18:26.000 Right-wing media is celebrating Musk's bid, saying he's going to rescue free speech.

00:18:30.000 You know, it's kind of funny how Elon Musk wants to buy it, but there are massive life and globe altering consequences for just letting people run wild on the thing.

00:18:41.000 The media is collectively losing its mind.

00:18:43.000 They're doing everything they possibly can to try and stop it.

00:18:47.000 I mean, even calling Saudi princes to come in, like, yeah, let's go trust the Saudi princes on free speech.

00:18:53.000 Like, you should probably sit this one out.

00:18:56.000 Not exactly a pinnacle of Saudi society is freedom of speech.

00:19:00.000 I encourage all of you to listen to Elon Musk's entire TED talk.

00:19:04.000 And look, I've said this all on, and I think this is, you need to have fair views of things.

00:19:09.000 Elon on the Neuralink thing, I don't like it.

00:19:12.000 I don't like it at all.

00:19:13.000 And I would love some opportunity eventually to talk to Elon Musk and have a conversation with him about this, either on air or off-air, and really kind of dive into.

00:19:23.000 I mean, he obviously would make some brilliant points, I'm sure, but messing with the human mind, not something I'm okay with, not even a little bit.

00:19:31.000 But the boring company to SpaceX, it's amazing.

00:19:34.000 Now, Elon Musk looks like this is a tweet he put out.

00:19:38.000 A social media platform's policies are good if the most extreme 10% of the left and right are equally unhappy.

00:19:46.000 Dave Rubin says the problem is that the right generally wants the left to be on platforms so they can expose the lunacy.

00:19:53.000 The left generally wants people banned, fired, and erased.

00:19:57.000 It's very true.

00:19:59.000 And look, I'll say this.

00:20:01.000 I don't know what you consider to be the quote-unquote far right or what that even means. 0.93

00:20:08.000 I have no problem, and I haven't had any problem with all of these maniacs on the left to be able to tweet out all of their nonsense. 0.56

00:20:18.000 Just let us do that.

00:20:19.000 As I continually am suspended from Twitter and I refuse to delete the tweet.

00:20:25.000 I just have to say, again, I am not taking credit for this.

00:20:27.000 I can't stand when people do it.

00:20:28.000 But just the fact that, and I will acknowledge this, the fact that our tweet about that guy that thinks he's a woman that runs the health, whatever, I can never remember what title.

00:20:40.000 It's like Health Czar, like Rear Admiral or something.

00:20:43.000 I think that's right.

00:20:44.000 Like a Rear Admiral of Health.

00:20:47.000 The fact that we've even played a part in the chapter of exposing Twitter and the straw that breaks the camel's back of Elon Musk taking over Twitter has been one of just one of the most great moments of my life.

00:21:02.000 Being an entrepreneur and running a business is not for the faint of heart.

00:21:05.000 I have two jobs.

00:21:06.000 I do the Charlie Kirk show till noon, then Turning Point USA till I go to sleep and all the problems in between.

00:21:11.000 A lot of stress.

00:21:12.000 330 days on the road I spent last year.

00:21:14.000 But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable.

00:21:23.000 That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily.

00:21:26.000 About 75% of people are magnesium deficient.

00:21:29.000 That number might be higher among business owners and C-level professionals.

00:21:33.000 That's because stress depletes magnesium levels.

00:21:35.000 This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency.

00:21:40.000 This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy.

00:21:45.000 It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep.

00:21:48.000 Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things?

00:21:50.000 Well, the answer is yes.

00:21:52.000 In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body.

00:21:56.000 So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient.

00:21:59.000 The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines.

00:22:11.000 But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium.

00:22:14.000 Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms.

00:22:19.000 They're not full spectrum.

00:22:20.000 There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium.

00:22:22.000 You must get all of them if you want to experience its calming, stress-relieving effects.

00:22:26.000 That's why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough from Buy Optimizers.

00:22:30.000 It's the only full organic, full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium for stress relief, better sleep all in one bottle.

00:22:38.000 Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels.

00:22:43.000 And how much rest did you feel when you wake up?

00:22:45.000 How much more rested do you feel when you wake up?

00:23:05.000 Nigel Farage is amazing, and I want to just touch a little bit on this story because it just shows how dishonest the media is.

00:23:13.000 Regardless of your opinions of Trump, this was a drive-by shooting.

00:23:18.000 It was a hatchet job.

00:23:19.000 So if you were kind of going through news yesterday, you probably would have fallen victim to believing that Donald Trump stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan and Piers Morgan was just calm, cool, and collected.

00:23:33.000 So Piers Morgan sat down with Donald Trump and totally misrepresented what actually happened.

00:23:40.000 The real audio has now been released and shows that Piers Morgan is a liar.

00:23:45.000 And one man tried to warn Donald Trump about this.

00:23:49.000 And that is the great Nigel Farage. 0.97

00:23:51.000 And Nigel actually gave Trump a dossier of all the garbage Pierce has said about Trump.

00:23:56.000 And he's with us right now to help build this out. 0.89

00:23:58.000 The great Nigel Farage is with us.

00:24:00.000 Nigel, welcome back to the program.

00:24:02.000 Charlie, thank you very much indeed.

00:24:03.000 Yes, I was at Mar-a-Lago two weeks ago on more of a social visit than a business visit, but always good to meet the president and exchange ideas and see what's going on.

00:24:13.000 And as ever, offer my encouragement because, you know, he's a man not just of vision, but of great courage too, which is what I admire so much about him.

00:24:22.000 Now, I knew that Piers Morgan was about to start a new show for Rupert Murdoch in London and also to do some work on Fox Nation in the USA too.

00:24:33.000 And Morgan has for years boasted that he's got great access to Donald Trump, that Trump's a great friend, and that he's the man on the British side of the pond.

00:24:44.000 He's the man, you know, who can access Trump like no other.

00:24:48.000 And I just pointed out Donald Trump.

00:24:51.000 I said, Piers will come knocking on your door for an interview.

00:24:55.000 Let me just show you the things that he said about you in the last two years.

00:24:59.000 And he's called Trump unhinged.

00:25:01.000 He's called him a mafia boss. 0.96

00:25:03.000 He's used endless narcissists, endless terms of abuse.

00:25:08.000 I said, please do not think this man is your friend.

00:25:12.000 And I did, not because I wanted to stitch him up, because I'm sick, Charlie, of people getting close to Trump and then riding off the back of him, using and abusing him for their own advantage and to his discredit.

00:25:25.000 You've seen it, I'm sure, as well.

00:25:27.000 I'm sick of that dishonesty.

00:25:29.000 So the interview did happen.

00:25:32.000 Clearly, Trump read my dossier and was very unhappy.

00:25:35.000 But then at the end, what Morgan did is the lowest thing I think anybody in journalism could do.

00:25:42.000 The interview was over and we have the audio of it.

00:25:46.000 And they have deliberately, willfully misedited it, used it in a promo for the show, put it on the front page of the Sun newspaper, the biggest selling newspaper in the UK.

00:25:57.000 And the whole world last night believed that Trump had stormed off an interview when, in fact, the interview was over.

00:26:04.000 Trump got up.

00:26:05.000 And by the time he said, turn the cameras off, they'd already said their goodbyes. 0.99

00:26:09.000 It is dishonest, disgusting, deceitful. 0.93

00:26:12.000 It's just the worst kind of journalism. 0.96

00:26:15.000 And somehow, because it's Donald Trump, the rest of the media don't cry foul.

00:26:21.000 Well, I know the Charlie Kirk show is, and I hope many others do too.

00:26:25.000 It's just wrong.

00:26:27.000 Yeah, it's totally wrong.

00:26:28.000 And you listen to the audio.

00:26:30.000 They talked for over an hour and everything seemed rather pleasant and fine.

00:26:34.000 And they turn it into this overly dramatic and theatrical trailer that makes Donald Trump look really negative.

00:26:42.000 And I don't want to dwell too much on Piers Morgan because he really is just kind of, he's a narcissist. 0.55

00:26:48.000 He is.

00:26:48.000 He's really into himself.

00:26:50.000 But let's just touch on this a little bit, which you mentioned people taking advantage of Trump.

00:26:56.000 And so you provided that document.

00:26:58.000 Trump decided to still do the interview.

00:27:00.000 And this kind of just, you know, unfolded from there.

00:27:03.000 In the future, I would imagine that there needs to be a different policy of just kind of who you conduct interviews with, right?

00:27:09.000 Like who around there allowed this interview to actually occur and happen?

00:27:15.000 Well, I think the reason it happened, if I'm being honest with you, is because, of course, Rupert Murder also owns Fox News.

00:27:21.000 And that is still a very big, powerful medium in America.

00:27:26.000 I'm guessing that's why he did it.

00:27:28.000 But look, I think, I mean, of one thing I'm certain, he will never trust Piers Morgan again.

00:27:34.000 It's a shame that he decided to continue with this one.

00:27:38.000 I hope next time I warn him, he does actually act for what I suggest.

00:27:43.000 But I mean, it raises bigger questions.

00:27:46.000 I mean, you know, you would have thought that of all the media organizations, it was the ones owned by Rupert Murdoch, who might actually be friendlier towards, you know, Donald Trump.

00:27:57.000 And already, Caitlin Jenner has announced that Caitlin has withdrawn from an appearance due to make on Wednesday.

00:28:05.000 And I bet you there are a lot of executives at Fox today absolutely fuming at what Morgan has done, thinking, well, hey, maybe he's damaged Trump's relationship with the Murdoch Empire.

00:28:18.000 And I think, to be honest with you, you know, we're all due an apology of some kind.

00:28:23.000 And yet all Morgan does now, and I know we don't want to dwell on him, but all Morgan does is just go on the attack.

00:28:29.000 It is just very low grade.

00:28:31.000 And you're right.

00:28:32.000 I think what Trump needs, I think Trump needs some gatekeepers around him to really protect him from, and this is frankly just abuse, isn't it?

00:28:42.000 It's horrible, horrible abuse.

00:28:44.000 He needs more protection.

00:28:45.000 So in closing here, Nigel, I want to be really respectful of your time.

00:28:48.000 There seems to be a movement that is worldwide.

00:28:52.000 We're seeing this unfold in France.

00:28:55.000 And that is just kind of a citizen-led movement to reclaim what nations are supposed to be.

00:29:00.000 You're a proud nationalist and you're one of the most articulate defenders in the West of that sort of governing philosophy.

00:29:06.000 Touch on a little bit of what we're seeing in France.

00:29:08.000 Are you seeing it in the United Kingdom?

00:29:10.000 Because we're certainly seeing it here in America.

00:29:13.000 Well, we saw it in the United Kingdom.

00:29:15.000 I mean, I think that Brexit was the early outpouring.

00:29:17.000 I think for once we were kind of first with the trend.

00:29:20.000 Normally we follow everything America does, but I think in this case, we kind of led the way a bit with Brexit.

00:29:26.000 And, you know, we have got our independence back.

00:29:28.000 We have got our sovereignty back.

00:29:29.000 And now we've got to make decisions about how we use it.

00:29:32.000 And I think the Trump phenomenon was part of Banana.

00:29:35.000 I, quite honestly, if the media and social media had played fair, if there wasn't the mass mail out of tens of billions of ballots, you know, I don't think for one moment we'd be in a position, frankly, where Joe Biden is there in the White House.

00:29:51.000 In France, well, the election for president takes place this Sunday.

00:29:55.000 It is probable that the incumbent and the globalist Macron will win, but he's not going to win by very much.

00:30:04.000 And it's really interesting to think of just how much of an outsider Maureen Le Pen is.

00:30:10.000 The fact that somebody who is completely loathed by the entirety of the establishment is kind of within, not quite, but almost within the margin of error of winning the French presidency shows you that actually the movement that I've been a part of for all these long years, the movement that you're very prominent in, actually it's a very healthy, democratic movement.

00:30:33.000 And I really believe across the Western world, we are gaining traction across a broader range of countries.

00:30:41.000 And it doesn't feel like it every day, but actually, Charlie, I think we're winning.

00:30:47.000 I totally agree.

00:30:49.000 So, Nigel, I know you're tight on time.

00:30:51.000 Thank you so much for coming on the program.

00:30:53.000 And thank you for what you're fighting for and for defending Western values.

00:30:56.000 God bless you, Nigel.

00:30:57.000 I hope to see you soon.
