00:01:33.000 One of the many numerous positives of President Trump Assuming office is now we have control again of the FCC.

00:01:42.000 And the new chairman of the FCC is a friend of ours, Brendan Carr.

00:01:46.000 Brendan, welcome to the program.

00:01:47.000 Brendan, let's set the table.

00:01:49.000 Reintroduce the audience to what the FCC is and does.

00:01:53.000 Yeah, thanks so much.

00:01:54.000 Great to be with you again, Charlie.

00:01:55.000 So the FCC, probably the easiest way to think about it is we're sort of a mini Congress almost for tech and telecom issues.

00:02:01.000 So Section 230, which has been abused by big tech companies to censor is in the Communications Act.

00:02:06.000 So we have a role there.

00:02:07.000 We regulate media broadcasters.

00:02:09.000 So all those local broadcasters are licensed by the FCC to operate in the public interest.

00:02:14.000 But for the last decade or so, the FCC has walked away from enforcing that public interest standard.

00:02:20.000 We have a role to play on national security as well.

00:02:23.000 And also the airwaves.

00:02:24.000 So, you know, when you turn your smartphone on and you want it to work, you want it to be fast, well, that requires airwaves.

00:02:29.000 And we free up those airwaves and get it into consumers' hands.

00:02:32.000 And so there's a whole bunch of different roles that the FCC plays.

00:02:36.000 And we're moving on Trump time.

00:02:37.000 You know, President Trump came in and fundamentally reshaped the direction of D.C. I haven't seen it in a long time.

00:02:42.000 I've been here for many, many years.

00:02:45.000 People are energized.

00:02:46.000 They're excited.

00:02:46.000 And we're following Trump's lead here at the FCC.

00:02:48.000 That's wonderful.

00:02:49.000 So let's talk about your investigation into ABC and Disney.

00:02:54.000 Tell us about it.

00:02:55.000 Yeah. One of the very first things that President Trump did was he came in and said we are ending the federal government's promotion of DEI.

00:03:01.000 He also issued an executive order calling for agencies to look at private sector DEI practices that violate Federal law.

00:03:10.000 We've been doing both of those at the FCC.

00:03:11.000 Day one at the FCC, I issued an order that ended the FCC's own promotion of DEI.

00:03:18.000 We were spending at the FCC alone millions and millions of dollars promoting DEI.

00:03:23.000 We had DEI listed as our second highest strategic priority, promoting DEI ahead of Empowering consumers, ahead of global competitiveness, ahead of sort of operational excellence at the FCC.

00:03:36.000 No, promoting DEI was the FCC's second highest priority.

00:03:40.000 We've shut all that down.

00:03:42.000 One thing I'm doing now is I'm going through all these companies that the FCC regulates.

00:03:46.000 Disney owns ABC, which is a licensed broadcaster by the FCC.

00:03:50.000 And I got to tell you, what we're seeing there, Charlie, is unbelievable.

00:03:54.000 The initial indications are, and this comes from some reporting from Chris Rufo, from Robbie Starbuck, other reports, information from Disney itself, that literally they were dividing employees along race and gender lines, segregating them out, giving potentially different opportunities in the employment workspace.

00:04:12.000 You know, that's a violation of the FCC's own equal employment opportunity rules if the evidence end up supporting those original allegations.

00:04:21.000 And I can't think of a more serious potential violation of a broadcaster than engaging in, you know, race and gender based discrimination.

00:04:30.000 We'll see where it goes.

00:04:31.000 We're open minded.

00:04:32.000 But those early signs are are.

00:04:34.000 So tell us, Brendan, there's also evidence to show that YouTube is discriminating on religious channels as well.

00:04:43.000 This is totally unacceptable.

00:04:45.000 What's going on here?

00:04:47.000 Yeah, you know, when you step back, a lot of these technology companies have sort of understood what happened in November.

00:04:53.000 They've understood the new direction of the country under President Trump.

00:04:56.000 X obviously always stood in the breach for free speech.

00:05:00.000 Facebook Meta has come to the table recently.

00:05:02.000 You know, welcome.

00:05:03.000 You know, we hope that it sort of sticks long term.

00:05:06.000 But Google and YouTube in particular have a lot of work to do.

00:05:09.000 And one of the things that's concerning to me is there was A number of reports, the FCC got that YouTube TV, which is effectively a cable channel, though it's virtual, it's a cable channel, cable company, has not been carrying, and apparently potentially has this, you know, unspoken policy of not carrying, you know, religious oriented programming.

00:05:30.000 There was one particular channel in particular that we wrote them about.

00:05:33.000 We're going to see what their full response on that is, but that's very concerning if that ends up being the case.

00:05:38.000 Hopefully this dispute gets resolved favorably.

00:05:41.000 So, also there's a looming question the audience has about NPR and PBS and the ongoing doging and their dodging of certain information.

00:05:55.000 What should we know about these taxpayer-funded monstrosities of NPR and PBS?

00:06:03.000 Yeah, so NPR and PBS, their member stations are stations, radio and TV, again, that are licensed by the FCC.

00:06:10.000 So not only are they unique as compared to other speakers because they have this right to use the airwaves they're licensed for, but they're doubly benefited because they're considered non-commercial stations.

00:06:21.000 I mean, they can't run commercials and because of that, they get extra benefits again.

00:06:26.000 I've opened an investigation into NPR and PBS and their member stations to see whether, in fact, they've been running commercials or some suggestion that maybe they have been.

00:06:35.000 And so we're going to look at enforcement action there.

00:06:37.000 But more broadly, this ties into a bigger concern, which is why has Congress been forcing Americans across the country and going into their pocketbooks and making them subsidize NPR and PBS?

00:06:49.000 I don't think there's any good reason for members of Congress to compel people to do that.

00:06:55.000 If NPR and PBS have a particular bias or slant, great, have at it, but why don't you support yourself the way every other outlet that has a viewpoint does?

00:07:03.000 It wasn't that long ago, if you did a cross-section of NPR and PBS listeners, that you sort of got a cross-section of the American electorate.

00:07:10.000 And I think to some extent that makes sense if you're forcing everybody to support it.

00:07:13.000 But over the last couple of years, you know, the listenership, the viewership is just clustering, you know, along the northern sector of the Acela Corridor.

00:07:20.000 And yet everyone else around the country is having to pay for it.

00:07:22.000 So I don't think that's a great thing.

00:07:24.000 And there was just a hearing, obviously, in Congress a week or so ago where the CEOs testified.

00:07:29.000 And ultimately, I don't think they advanced their cause very well before Congress.

00:07:33.000 There was this piece of tape this morning, and I'm trying to find it, of a professor from University of San Diego or somewhere nearby.

00:07:40.000 And they asked her, they said, hey, how do we make our politics more progressive?

00:07:46.000 And she said, the number one thing we need to do is regulate social media.

00:07:51.000 The number one thing they want to do is prevent different voices from having a speech on social media.

00:07:57.000 Brendan, we see that in Germany.

00:07:59.000 They are raiding homes over what people are putting on social media in the United Kingdom as well.

00:08:04.000 What is your commitment to freedom of speech at the FCC to stand against these calls to prevent conservatives like myself and this audience to speak on social media?

00:08:16.000 Committed to making sure that we smash the censorship cartel.

00:08:19.000 In fact, I'm doing an event just tomorrow over at the Department of Justice with the new antitrust enforcer, Gail Slater, with the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson, and three of us are working together to make sure that we never go through what Americans live through, particularly the last four or five years, when this wave of censorship came across the country.

00:08:39.000 You had social media companies themselves, Facebook, censoring lawful political speech of Americans.

00:08:44.000 You had the Biden administration, of course, We've got to end that and make sure that we can never, ever go back to it.

00:08:56.000 The truth is, if you look at trust in national media right now, it's at an all-time low.

00:09:01.000 I mean, look, literally people have more faith in gas station sushi than they do the mainstream media, including ABC, CBS, and NBC.

00:09:09.000 That's why social media is so important.

00:09:11.000 That's why social media and Speech on the internet and podcasts are under attack because it lets people go around that traditional establishment media.

00:09:20.000 And everyone has realized, you know, the emperor has no clothes.

00:09:22.000 They've so consistently gotten so many important stories wrong and people only know about it because of free speech on the internet.

00:09:30.000 And so it's a threat to their business model.

00:09:31.000 It's a threat to their power.

00:09:33.000 And that's why we need to make sure that everyday people from the podcast to internet speech, to YouTube TV, have the ability to get a wide variety of viewpoints out there.

00:09:40.000 And look, it wasn't that long ago that this was happening.

00:09:43.000 There's like a progressive value, diversity of opinion.

00:09:45.000 I think, you know, you and I have talked about this.

00:09:47.000 I think we're, you know, the modern day op-ed actually launched on the pages of the New York Times of all places in 1970, because there was an editor there, a guy, progressive editor by the name of John Oakes.

00:09:56.000 He said back then, Diversity of opinion is the lifeblood of democracy.

00:10:01.000 The moment we insist everyone think the same way we do, our democratic way of life is in jeopardy.

00:10:05.000 Progressive New York Times editor in the lead up to that 1970 launch of the op-ed, and look where we are now.

00:10:11.000 We need to sort of re-embrace as a culture this idea of free speech, this idea of diversity of opinion, but there's a role for us at the FCC and across the government, and we're going to get it done.

00:10:23.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:24.000 When faced with a threat, you might think of lethal force, but consider a less lethal option like Burna to avoid legal issues tied to firearms.

00:10:32.000 As a strong advocate for the right to bear arms, I value diverse defensive options, and Burna offers an effective alternative.

00:10:40.000 Proudly assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Burna's less lethal pistol launchers loaded with tear gas and kinetic ammunition can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, allowing you to safely escape or call for help while reducing We're good.

00:11:14.000 back.

00:11:25.000 Well, it would help if we could regulate social media because one of the biggest offenders is DC and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations in social media.

00:11:41.000 It's not going to get any better with Elon Musk in the administration.

00:11:45.000 Brendan, there is a big push to try and regulate the speech on social media.

00:11:50.000 The European Union right now has some of the most restrictive speech policies.

00:11:55.000 What are you doing at the FCC to allow free and open dialogue to continue and to resist these pushes?

00:12:03.000 Yeah, it's pretty wild to see the radical left complain that there wasn't enough censorship on social media.

00:12:09.000 You know, you got Hunter Biden laptop store, you got all sorts of COVID discussions that were completely shut down.

00:12:16.000 Again, I think with President Trump and the White House, we were exiting this era of massive censorship across the U.S. There's still work to do.

00:12:23.000 Us at the FCC, DOJ, across government, we're going to do it.

00:12:26.000 But your point, you know, there's a big concern globally as well.

00:12:29.000 We saw this with Brazil.

00:12:31.000 Last year, they effectively shut down They have this new law they passed called the DSA, the Digital Services Act, which effectively requires, and I would argue targets, U.S. technology companies and encourages them to engage in censorship conduct.

00:12:55.000 Vice President Vance went to Europe and was spot on.

00:12:57.000 He gave a speech saying, look, we're going to develop AI.

00:13:00.000 America is going to lead the world with gold standard AI.

00:13:02.000 AI. You can join us if you want.

00:13:04.000 You can benefit from it as well.

00:13:05.000 But you can't be imposing these ideological biases into AI through this DSA, through this regulation of technology companies, because there's a real fork in the road on AI.

00:13:15.000 You've got China, which is heading down their path. 1.00

00:13:17.000 They've got DeepSeek.

00:13:18.000 If you ask DeepSeek what happened at Tiananmen Square, they say nothing.

00:13:21.000 It was a great day.

00:13:22.000 If you ask them how the Uyghurs are doing, they'd say perfectly fine. 1.00

00:13:25.000 They're getting a great education in a camp-like environment.

00:13:28.000 So the world is going to split.

00:13:30.000 When it comes to AI, there's going to be the authoritarian, censored version that China's going to push.

00:13:34.000 There's going to be the gold standard that we lead the world on, and Europe is sort of at the crossroads.

00:13:38.000 They can join us, but no censorship.

00:13:41.000 But again, this idea that technology companies haven't been censoring over the last couple of years, that's not the reality I think anybody's been living in.

00:13:49.000 Well, and now they want to censor because the speech that is popular and that is viral is conservative in nature.

00:13:57.000 Now they want to censor what's on social media.

00:13:59.000 And remember, they were the ones that kicked President Trump off social media after January 6th.

00:14:05.000 After they kicked him off.

00:14:06.000 Spotify, please continue.

00:14:08.000 Yeah, I mean, just again, just look at Brazil.

00:14:10.000 Justice De Moraes issued this decision to shut down X last year.

00:14:14.000 He said expressly in his decision that he was acting to prevent what he described as anti-democratic acts.

00:14:21.000 And then they went on to define what is an anti-democratic act.

00:14:24.000 It was essentially going into a voting booth with information in your brain not approved by the incumbent political party.

00:14:31.000 That's an anti-democratic act.

00:14:33.000 And that's what we're seeing across the board is, to your point, people having new access to information to vote.

00:14:37.000 They're getting around old gatekeepers, and we're seeing a real effort to clamp down on availability of wide open political debate, political discourse, but we need it, right?

00:14:48.000 You know, free speech is democracy's check on authoritarianism, and we've got to continue to stand at the rampart to defend it.

00:14:55.000 So, Brendan, in closing, what are some of the other priorities that you guys are looking at the FCC?

00:15:00.000 Big fights.

00:15:01.000 AI is a big one.

00:15:03.000 Also, the idea of internet access, I would love to see a proliferation of the use of Starlink and to get away from old antiquated ways of broadband delivery of internet.

00:15:15.000 What else are you guys thinking about as top priorities of the FCC?

00:15:19.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:15:19.000 You know, one thing is we're moving away from weaponization.

00:15:22.000 The Biden years, … really weaponized all of our country's communications laws.

00:15:26.000 If your last name was Soros, well, you got a sweetheart deal on a streamlined basis.

00:15:31.000 If your last name was Musk, well, Starlink lost millions and millions of dollars' worth of contracts.

00:15:35.000 What we've committed to now is everyone's getting a fair shake from this FCC.

00:15:40.000 Now, Democrats don't like that.

00:15:41.000 They claim that I'm discriminating against their sacred cows, but I would simply say this.

00:15:46.000 The entities that benefited from the two-tier system of justice that prevailed during the Biden years are now getting even-handed treatment from me, and that feels like discrimination to them because they were used to benefiting from weaponization, but we're running a very You know, aggressive agenda.

00:16:00.000 We're following President Trump's lead.

00:16:01.000 To your point, we're going to be boosting Starlink.

00:16:04.000 We're going to be boosting competitors even to Starlink to get more connectivity out there.

00:16:08.000 We're trying to push more airwaves out there.

00:16:10.000 You know, frankly, the Biden administration kind of walked us into a cul-de-sac where China now has a massive lead on us on spectrum, which is needed for next generation connectivity.

00:16:20.000 We've got to close that gap on them.

00:16:22.000 But we're running an aggressive agenda.

00:16:23.000 We're bringing people back into the building at the FCC.

00:16:26.000 I think just yesterday I pulled the numbers and we We're at four times the number of people are in the building now than we were on the average day last year.

00:16:33.000 So we're doing a lot right now and having fun too, which is important.

00:16:36.000 Brendan, we support you 100%.

00:16:38.000 There's a lot to go after.

00:16:39.000 In fact, we've talked about on the show how there's this boycott network that is going after shows like this, this Rico type of activity that are trying to restrict over-the-top providers.

00:16:51.000 And I know you guys at the FCC have eyes on all that to restore fairness and free speech.

00:16:55.000 Thank you.

00:16:58.000 History, economics, the great works of literature.

00:17:01.000 Did you study these things in school?

00:17:03.000 Probably not.

00:17:04.000 Or even if you did, maybe it's time for an enjoyable refresher.

00:17:07.000 Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses, including their newest course on totalitarian novels.

00:17:14.000 In this free eight-lecture course, you'll learn from Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn as he goes in-depth on four novels, 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, and That Hideous Strength.

00:17:25.000 I love all four.

00:17:26.000 Even though these novels were written in the 1930s and 40s, they're highly relevant today as they show what a tyrannical government does to human nature.

00:17:33.000 More importantly, they can show us that faith, family, and friends are worth fighting for.

00:17:38.000 Maybe you read these books a long time ago in school.

00:17:40.000 Maybe you've heard others talk about them, and they seem a little intimidating.

00:17:43.000 Let Hillsdale College, America's greatest college, help you make the most of them.

00:17:48.000 Go right now to charlieforhillsdale.com to enroll.

00:18:00.000 Very smart man joins us next and I thoroughly enjoyed the research that he did regarding this lie that the media is peddling.

00:18:10.000 It's Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project.

00:18:15.000 Will, great to see you.

00:18:16.000 Will, if you were just to watch the mainstream media, let me read the headline from The Atlantic.

00:18:21.000 Quote, But claims that courts are powerless to order his return.

00:18:36.000 On campus yesterday, a young man shows up to the microphone screaming, saying, Charlie, they deported a U.S. citizen.

00:18:44.000 I said, no, they did not.

00:18:46.000 Will, what are the facts here?

00:18:48.000 You did all the research.

00:18:49.000 You looked through court documents.

00:18:52.000 What is the truth?

00:18:53.000 Right. Well, the there is administrative error, but they deported an El Salvadorian citizen back to El Salvador.

00:19:00.000 Who crossed illegally in 2012, was detained in 2019, and then tried to claim asylum.

00:19:06.000 He never had asylum, so his protected status, quote unquote, was not that he couldn't be removed from the country.

00:19:13.000 He could.

00:19:14.000 He was a removable alien.

00:19:15.000 The only protection he had was being removed to El Salvador in particular.

00:19:20.000 So, there was this underlying flaw, but, you know, I mean, even so, the idea that there's some profound injustice here, that's just wrong.

00:19:28.000 So help me understand, though, the way that the media is framing it.

00:19:33.000 Here's this poor father, you know, he never should have brought up.

00:19:37.000 What does administrative error mean?

00:19:39.000 There is also evidence that he was part of MS-13.

00:19:42.000 According to Stephen Miller, there was some MS-13 ties.

00:19:46.000 So just, you know, look, when you're running a big operation, errors happen.

00:19:50.000 Let's just be honest.

00:19:51.000 What does administrative error mean?

00:19:53.000 Well, it just means that they should have gone through a process to try and get His, this withholding of removal revoked, you know, the, the reason this withholding of removal was granted is because he came up with this sob story in 2019, where he said, if you send me back to El Salvador, I am likely to be persecuted, maybe even murdered by the 18th street gang, which is with MS-13, one of the, or was rather one of the big gangs in El Salvador.

00:20:22.000 But in the interim, Nayib Bukele has become the president of El Salvador and has effectively punished and has effectively done something to actually, you know, deal with these gangs.

00:20:32.000 And as a result, El Salvador is a safe country now.

00:20:35.000 And the underlying reason why he couldn't be deported there is gone.

00:20:39.000 So the Trump administration could have simply gone to court, got his withholding of removal revoked, and had him sent back.

00:20:45.000 So even though they didn't do that, and therefore there's this administrative error, they should have waited to remove him.

00:20:51.000 The end result would have ultimately been the same.

00:20:53.000 He'd have ended up back in El Salvador.

00:20:56.000 That's right.

00:20:57.000 And so thank you for that explanation.

00:20:58.000 Let's go to Stephen Miller also talking about this.

00:21:01.000 And it's very important.

00:21:03.000 And look, you've got to be so meticulous here.

00:21:04.000 The Trump administration understands that.

00:21:06.000 But it's not as if they scooped up an American citizen or a green card holder.

00:21:10.000 The media keeps on calling him a Maryland dad.

00:21:14.000 According to the court documents, he has MS-13 ties and he Applied for asylum, testifying that he fears returning to El Salvador because the 18th Street gang was targeting him and threatening him with death because of his family's business.

00:21:32.000 And also has ties to human trafficking.

00:21:36.000 Let's play Cut 212.

00:21:37.000 Jesse, you and I have never received in our lives as much positive press as this MS-13 gang member has received.

00:21:44.000 We couldn't get headlines like that if our lives depended on it.

00:21:47.000 Fact one, what you do with illegal aliens, you deport them. 1.00

00:21:50.000 Fact two, he's an MS-13.

00:21:52.000 What do you do with illegal aliens who are also in a transnational terrorist organization? 0.78

00:21:57.000 You deport them more quickly.

00:21:59.000 Oh, and on top of that, he's implicated in human trafficking.

00:22:02.000 Deport, deport, deport. 0.75

00:22:04.000 This is who they're going to bat for.

00:22:05.000 What are we supposed to do?

00:22:07.000 Buy the guy a house?

00:22:08.000 Get him some free health care?

00:22:09.000 Maybe let him run for Congress?

00:22:12.000 So, Will, all kidding aside here, the mass deportation plan is lawful.

00:22:18.000 It might not be something that the media likes.

00:22:21.000 What is your take on the deportations and the media's coverage of it and the essence?

00:22:27.000 And of course, I think the Trump administration gets a little bit of a cautionary hay.

00:22:33.000 You have to make sure every administrative detail is followed because, let's just be honest, if they actually would have put an American citizen in an El Salvadorian jail, Then we're in a different circumstance.

00:22:46.000 That is not even remotely close to what's going on here.

00:22:49.000 Will. The reason we have mass deportations is because we had a mass invasion facilitated by Joe Biden.

00:22:55.000 They didn't vet every one of these migrants individually to ensure they could get into the country.

00:22:59.000 On the contrary, they let them in en masse and they did so intentionally.

00:23:04.000 You have to give the Trump administration a little grace in order to solve this problem.

00:23:08.000 There are probably going to be moments where they are over-inclusive.

00:23:11.000 And I think it's important for us as a conservative movement to not just, you know, go hit the fainting couch the moment there's a report in The Atlantic that something went wrong.

00:23:19.000 I mean, here, you know, the Trump administration confessed error in court.

00:23:22.000 Like the ICE filings clearly, the filings in court clearly say, yeah, this guy did have a withholding of removal to El Salvador.

00:23:28.000 He shouldn't have been removed or mistake.

00:23:31.000 But it's important.

00:23:32.000 They classified it as an administrative error rather than some profound injustice, and they're right, because if they had gone through the normal process, this guy was going to get removed back to El Salvador. 0.62

00:23:43.000 Okay, so more broadly, if you were to now give political advice, or just to say broad strategic advice, because you think about these things rather deeply, Will, of where the Trump administration is proceeding and how they are executing on mass deportations and the border, what would you say?

00:24:00.000 And also, talk about how we actually have a border again.

00:24:04.000 Well, I mean, first off, the Trump administration deserves enormous credit for reducing illegal crossings by 95% year over year.

00:24:12.000 I mean, we take it for granted.

00:24:14.000 It's an enormous accomplishment.

00:24:15.000 They did it in two months.

00:24:17.000 Credit to them.

00:24:18.000 You know, so we'll start there.

00:24:19.000 In terms of executing on this deportation, I mean, I think it's a good check to remember that they do need to cross every T and dot every I. Um, and that the media is going to come after them hard.

00:24:30.000 And so they need to make, especially make sure that no American citizens get caught up in this.

00:24:35.000 But failing that, I think they do need to keep going forward.

00:24:39.000 I think there's a really profound impact here of, you know, deportations in a wide variety of places, because what you'll start to see is self-deportation.

00:24:46.000 You know, think about there was that student, I think at Cornell, Um, who was one of the people who was spouting all this anti-semitic stuff and involved in all these encampments and he posted on Twitter that he was self-deporting because he was afraid he was going to be detained and removed.

00:24:59.000 Perfect. Great.

00:25:00.000 Go on.

00:25:00.000 And I just have to laugh because that's like the one thing Mitt Romney was right about that he was scolded terribly for.

00:25:06.000 Do you remember when he was running for president in 2011, 2012 and Mitt Romney in his typical goofy technocratic way?

00:25:13.000 Well, if we secure the border, then people will self-deport and he was Ridiculed!

00:25:18.000 People would say, people would never voluntarily leave the country.

00:25:22.000 No, self-deportation actually is part of the strategy.

00:25:25.000 And by the way, just so we are clear, the Cornell Fordham student who sued the Trump administration, just self-deported.

00:25:32.000 Mamumodo Pal.

00:25:33.000 Just turned himself in and just, he's gone.

00:25:36.000 His name's literally Mamumodo.

00:25:38.000 And he's gone.

00:25:40.000 And so, self-deportation is a primary and important ingredient.

00:25:45.000 Towards the securing of our nation.

00:25:47.000 And I want to reinforce something you said, Will, which I hope our audience internalizes.

00:25:52.000 The closure of the southern border is one of the quickest public policy accomplishments and achievements of the last era since World War II.

00:26:02.000 We have not seen a public crisis go from the Richter scale of 10 out of 10 to basically a non-issue.

00:26:10.000 In a hundred days or less in my lifetime.

00:26:12.000 Think about all the problems that we've dealt with that were crises.

00:26:16.000 COVID, lockdowns, financial crisis, Iraq war, terrorism, 9-11.

00:26:22.000 We have never seen a crisis since I have been born go from crisis to non-issue so quickly.

00:26:29.000 Am I right in saying that Will?

00:26:30.000 You're absolutely right.

00:26:31.000 And you know, sometimes this is, I would say this to, there are probably people in your audience who are like, well, why isn't the administration doing this?

00:26:37.000 Or feeling like, oh, you know, they could be doing more, they could be more conservative.

00:26:41.000 I mean, trust me, as somebody who's been around Republican politics, I'm 39 now, I've never seen anything like this.

00:26:47.000 And don't take it for granted, because the next time, next Republican president, or, you know, in 10 or 15 years, you might be complaining that they're not doing anything at all.

00:26:55.000 It's a remarkable accomplishment.

00:26:57.000 And it comes from the fact that they realize that You know, think about where they were sending migrants back on military planes.

00:27:02.000 Think about the video hits they're doing where they have Kirstie Noem going down to El Salvador.

00:27:07.000 These things are a deterrent.

00:27:08.000 They are a demonstration that if you come here illegally and you don't leave on your own accord, we aren't going to be nice about it. 0.99

00:27:15.000 And that's what people need.

00:27:17.000 That leads people to think, well, you know, maybe I should just go home on my own and just get on a plane like a normal human being rather than be deported in handcuffs on a military plane.

00:27:26.000 That's right.

00:27:27.000 And Also, just so we are clear, I want every administrative detail to be followed, but what a signal that sends to gang members right now, and they're saying, oh my goodness, if I even might be remotely associated with MS-13 and I step foot in the United States, I might end up in an El Salvadorian prison.

00:27:44.000 How's that for the neoconservative's favorite word, deterrence, Will?

00:27:48.000 Yeah, that's exactly what we need.

00:27:50.000 I mean, really, the Neoconservatives were always so reluctant to apply that logic at home.

00:27:56.000 We need to actually deter it.

00:28:01.000 Mitt Romney had this soft talk about self-deportation, but Trump is actually demonstrating how you get it done.

00:28:07.000 You make clear that the border is secure, that you're going to get deported, and that if you get deported by ICE, it won't be fun.

00:28:14.000 There's evidence that now the cartels are sending their fentanyl to Europe because business is so bad right now in the interior of the United States.

00:28:21.000 Trump's war on fentanyl is off to a strong start.

00:28:24.000 I hope everyone understands.

00:28:26.000 Look at the results here, not the noise.

00:28:28.000 What President Trump is doing is the hard but necessary work to secure a nation.

00:29:34.000 Two announcements.

00:29:35.000 I encourage you guys to take out your phone right now and subscribe to The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:29:39.000 We have some phenomenal podcast-only conversations that are going to be posted very soon.

00:29:47.000 So I encourage you guys to do that.

00:29:48.000 As we are speaking right now, according to the Apple News Charts, we are the number one conservative podcast out there.

00:29:55.000 So thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:29:57.000 for helping make that happen and helping support us.

00:30:00.000 Still number one in Apple News in the conservative category.

00:30:04.000 Number two, we're not going to have time to cover this in the next segment because I really want Will to do a job on the adolescents.

00:30:10.000 But breaking news, praise God!

00:30:13.000 Our advocacy, amazing!

00:30:15.000 This is why we worked so hard to get Trump in the White House.

00:30:17.000 President Trump to freeze all funding to Planned Parenthood.

00:30:21.000 That's right.

00:30:21.000 All funding to Planned Parenthood is now frozen.

00:30:25.000 That is a report by the Office of Management of Budget.

00:30:28.000 The abortionists are going to sue in court. 0.81

00:30:30.000 This is going to get all tied up.

00:30:32.000 But President Trump is acting with clarity and boldness and he deserves our credit and our appreciation and our praise and our gratitude that we are going to cut and freeze Planned Parenthood funding.

00:30:47.000 Okay, we're going to try to do this as quickly as possible.

00:30:49.000 Will, I'm going to play this trailer here.

00:30:51.000 Here's what I know.

00:30:52.000 This is a UK Not documentary, but a UK film.

00:30:57.000 It's going viral and being used by even the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, saying this should be shown in every school.

00:31:04.000 It's called Adolescence.

00:31:06.000 Let's play Cut 273, which is the trailer of this new phenomenon.

00:31:11.000 Play Cut 273.

00:31:13.000 Police! Get down on the floor! 0.95

00:31:15.000 What's going on?

00:31:17.000 I've got children!

00:31:19.000 I haven't done anything!

00:31:21.000 I haven't done anything!

00:31:23.000 You've got the wrong house, I'm telling you!

00:31:25.000 You're making a big mistake!

00:31:27.000 What are you doing?

00:31:28.000 What are you looking for?

00:31:31.000 Police! That's my phone!

00:31:33.000 Show me your hands!

00:31:33.000 Get your hands in there!

00:31:36.000 Hey! Amy's daughter's in here! 1.00

00:31:40.000 What are you doing?

00:31:41.000 My name is D.I. Baskin.

00:31:42.000 I have a warrant to search your premises, sir.

00:31:44.000 Where's your son?

00:31:45.000 Where's your son?

00:31:45.000 He's in his bedroom!

00:31:46.000 What do you need me for?

00:31:47.000 Where is he?

00:31:48.000 Mum! Hey, he's only a kid, bitch! 1.00

00:31:51.000 He's the back of our house. 1.00

00:31:52.000 OK. Hey!

00:31:54.000 Jamie Miller.

00:31:54.000 What's going on?

00:31:55.000 The time is 6.15am, and I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.

00:32:00.000 What do you mean murder?

00:32:01.000 You don't have to say anything.

00:32:03.000 Mr. Miller!

00:32:04.000 Mr. Miller!

00:32:05.000 I will arrest you for obstruction.

00:32:07.000 Please stop.

00:32:08.000 Please. What do you need me for?

00:32:10.000 I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.

00:32:12.000 Okay, so I'm very confused watching that.

00:32:15.000 Will, we only have three minutes.

00:32:16.000 Explain what is going on.

00:32:17.000 My understanding is that they've created a fictional series where, you know, it's a young white boy who at the age 13 has somehow fallen into, in seldom, a bizarre theory given that, you know, I don't think we'd ever call a 13-year-old involuntarily celibate. That's a bizarre claim to make about him.

00:32:36.000 but also that he's responsible for killing a young black boy And that somehow this is now a model for what British schools should be teaching their children, that they should be making young white males in particular feel guilt implicitly on, you know, and that they, you know, are secretly monsters that could potentially go out and murder their classmates of a different race or something.

00:33:03.000 It's a bizarre show.

00:33:05.000 And honestly, like, There's evidence that this is just a straight-up inversion of some of the very serious crimes that have been committed in Britain.

00:33:14.000 Notably, there's this kid Axel Rudakubana who murdered a slew of people in Southport.

00:33:21.000 And there's other instances like this where you actually do have a serious spree of knife crime committed by sometimes young black males. 0.52

00:33:30.000 So the idea that you would suddenly turn this around and make it about white males is just...

00:33:36.000 I mean, I don't have a better phrase for it than blood libel.

00:33:38.000 It is pure propaganda.

00:33:39.000 It is blood libel.

00:33:40.000 So the idea is that a white kid gets consumed by far-right content online, like the Charlie Kirk show, so he stabbed a girl to death.

00:33:48.000 And this shows the crisis of radical content online that Britain must stop. 0.53

00:33:53.000 It proves that we need more censorship, when in reality knife crime in Britain is almost entirely by non-white, mostly Muslim immigrant populations. 0.99

00:34:03.000 Just the truth.

00:34:04.000 It's not white native Britain 13-year-olds that are going and stabbing up people in their local school.

00:34:12.000 And by the way, the actual headlines when this happened was the reality were immigrants that were doing this.

00:34:19.000 And now the idea of adolescence is how the manosphere is propagandizing young men to become murderous to their classmates.

00:34:29.000 This is pure anti-male propaganda.

00:34:33.000 20 seconds, Will.

00:34:34.000 Yeah, they've turned a fantasy into something they believe their young white males need to be lectured about.

00:34:41.000 It's offensive, and I think it'll ultimately be counterproductive because I think that it will breed a lot of resentment towards the establishment from young white males and turn them to the right.

00:34:51.000 Will, thank you so much.

00:34:52.000 Counselor for the Article 3 Project.

00:34:54.000 Counsel, thank you very much.
