00:00:03.000We take a moment right before President Trump leaves office to remember all the accomplishments, the highlights here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:12.000Things are about to change, and unfortunately, not for the better, but it's time to remember how good things have been made thanks to President Trump on trade, immigration, foreign policy, and so much more.
00:00:22.000If you want to support us, go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:53.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:53.000Which is to appreciate and celebrate the last four years.
00:01:56.000There's such an important legacy that I think it's important we remember, especially after the events of the last few weeks and the narrative from the media and the left.
00:02:04.000We can't forget about what was accomplished over the last year.
00:02:07.000One thing I wish the president would have done the last couple months, at least post-election, even in the midst of all of this, you know, these struggles that he was in to try and figure out what happened in the election, is I wish he would have done a victory tour.
00:02:20.000A victory tour, not as like, oh, I won the election, but look how much we've accomplished as a country or a celebration tour, whatever it might be called.
00:02:27.000This is common for presidents to do that.
00:02:29.000Obama did this back at the end of his term.
00:02:31.000He did a big event in Chicago because there's a lot to celebrate.
00:02:35.000And there are some amazing accomplishments in every single arena imaginable.
00:02:41.000And he has changed international policy, trade policy, immigration policy, the courts.
00:02:48.000And we want to make sure that we reinforce that legacy in the last full day of the Trump presidency.
00:02:54.000And really, the face of politics in America and around the world has forever changed now, thanks to this president.
00:03:00.000I think we're seeing a resurgence of the idea of our founding as a nation that this government was meant to serve the people and not the other way around.
00:03:08.000We have a big old stack of papers for you guys of accomplishments from the president during his term in office.
00:03:14.000And we're really excited to unpack what that legacy looks like for you.
00:03:17.000All right, so let's start at the beginning.
00:03:18.000Isabelle, where were you when he came down the golden escalator?
00:03:21.000Oh my gosh, when he came down the golden escalator, I was in college.
00:03:27.000And at the time, I was so confused about what this guy stood for, who he was.
00:03:32.000He was making a really big splash in conservative politics, but I was really excited to just see his momentum grow throughout the primaries and then obviously against Hillary Clinton in the general election, too.
00:05:11.000And really what he struck at a moment in American politics where it looked as if you'd have one dynasty up another, against another, right?
00:05:20.000You would have one Clinton dynasty up against the Bush dynasty.
00:05:24.000And it was just going to be a matter of they're going to agree on immigration.
00:05:35.000There's a couple other things, I'm sure, you know, maybe school choice policy and stuff.
00:05:38.000But basically, it was, do you want the Bush or the Clinton way to rule the country, right?
00:05:45.000Trump came in and said from his opening speech, which our team is pulling, because there are some, we're going to start at the very beginning when he said, everything that you've been told is a lie.
00:05:57.000And basically, he said, we're getting ripped off.
00:05:59.000And I'm going to run a campaign on three things that you're not supposed to talk about.
00:06:04.000Trade, immigration, and these stupid wars that we're in.
00:06:08.000Those three things are the three things that actually Clinton and Bush agreed on.
00:06:41.000And here comes this millionaire from New York City that all of a sudden connected so intimately with people who had felt disenfranchised for so many decades in the American electorate, not just conservatives, but all across the political spectrum.
00:06:54.000And so then President Trump all of a sudden got mocked and he got taken a little bit more seriously coming into the fall of 2015 when he started to lead in some of these polls.
00:07:04.000And all of a sudden these debates were coming up and the very famous debate with Megan Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell.
00:07:36.000The nicknames on the debate stage for all of the primary debates, this guy who was really not polished when it came to how to deliver his policy ideas, but said it like it was and said what everyone was thinking, but nobody was willing to say, shocked the American political system.
00:07:52.000And so then all of a sudden Iowa came around and he didn't win Iowa, but he did well, got second, and then he won New Hampshire, won South Carolina, won Nevada.
00:08:02.000And I'll never forget Newt Gingrich was on TV and he said, Republicans are now going to have to accept the fact that Donald Trump's about to be your nominee.
00:08:11.000And you just heard screaming and yelling all over the place.
00:08:13.000He became the nominee and polls were coming out that he was down 58 points, that he was down.
00:08:20.000He was going to destroy the Republican Party.
00:09:04.000And this was less about what actually the ramifications of this statement would be, because I know a lot of people are disappointed this actually never came to fruition.
00:09:15.000But it was more of, oh, he just said that, and he's not going to be restrained.
00:12:13.000He didn't get distracted by the name calling or the debates.
00:12:17.000He had one clear plan, and that was to serve the American people, to build back the things that we had lost throughout our lifetime as big government expanded to realms never before seen in American history.
00:12:29.000And the idea of an individual American being squashed by politics.
00:12:33.000Yeah, it's just, and you hear when he's talking about we're going to bring jobs back, we're going to do all of this.
00:12:38.000That has been a laser focus of his throughout all of these years.
00:12:42.000And so then he became president, and then the empire struck back.
00:12:47.000Yeah, that's a good way to put it, Charlie.
00:12:49.000And I think they have not stopped this entire four years.
00:12:54.000There have been promises to impeach this president since before his inauguration four years ago.
00:12:59.000People on the left, just like his laser focus with serving the American people, have been laser focused on trying to take down this president at every turn, just throwing anything at the wall to see if it will stick.
00:13:11.000And they've honestly gotten more outlandish as time has gone on.
00:13:55.000And I don't think a Biden Justice Department is going to be quick to indict Peter Strzzok or Lisa Page or Brennan or Clapper or any of those folks.
00:14:04.000And so none of that will probably ever be brought to justice.
00:14:08.000And so, but from the minute he became president-elect, they all of a sudden, they immediately started to launch everything they possibly could to undercut him.
00:14:18.000And that was their game plan from day one, present this unified front from the Democrat Party and from the political left to take him down at every possible second.
00:14:26.000And despite that, President Trump remained focused, focused all throughout his transition, remained focused all throughout the early days of his presidency and even through the toughest parts of his presidency.
00:14:43.000And also the special counsel with Bob Mueller.
00:14:46.000And with all of that in front of him and all of the difficulty and all of the headwinds, President Trump still had an unprecedented amount of accomplishments.
00:14:55.000And we're going to go through that list and we're going to go through the sound and also just some of the fun moments.
00:15:10.000And amongst many other moments that I don't think we will ever forget, Chuck and Nancy with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, so many moments.
00:15:19.000And the underlying theme is a president that did things differently to accomplish things for you and for our country because he said he would.
00:15:27.000Okay, we were remembering when he won, and it's worth going back because it still will go down as one of the most significant moments in American political history.
00:15:37.000Let's play a little montage from that.
00:16:56.000Shock and awe, President Trump became President Trump.
00:17:00.000And so then from that moment, they declared a revenge campaign, retaliation at all costs.
00:17:08.000And the president had incredible perseverance.
00:17:11.000You know, Isabel, the amount they threw at him, the amount that they tried to obstruct and thwart him was absolutely historic.
00:17:21.000It took having a fighter in the White House to withstand that.
00:17:25.000And, you know, we've talked a lot about this in the past, Charlie, but I think for most of our lifetime, conservatives were expected to be very polite and quiet and just respond to things in a very correct manner, pre-scripted, sound very presidential.
00:17:37.000But this president reinforced to the American people that it's okay to fight back.
00:17:41.000It's okay to stand up for yourself and what you believe in.
00:17:44.000And most importantly, go on offense for conservative ideas.
00:17:48.000And they launched the Mueller investigation just a couple months after President Trump was sworn in, which occupied a huge part of the news coverage in the early days of the Trump presidency.
00:18:02.000The fight around the wall and shutting down the government was a big moment.
00:18:06.000Remember this when Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer in the White House, and Donald Trump decided to bring Socratic debate into the Oval Office.
00:18:30.000If we don't get what we want one way or the other, whether it's through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government.
00:18:39.000And I am proud, and I'll tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country.
00:20:15.000They have plans for day one, and it's certainly the first 100 days after tomorrow as well.
00:20:21.000Trying to confiscate weapons and do all sorts of different things there.
00:20:25.000President Donald Trump also changed the geopolitical landscape internationally.
00:20:31.000He brought peace to the Korean peninsula.
00:20:33.000President Obama said that North Korea was the biggest problem facing us.
00:20:38.000Now, President Donald Trump was condemned for this, but he crossed into the DMZ and he was the first president of our lifetime, Isabel, not to start a new war.
00:20:50.000Joe Biden will declare a new war because there's nothing like getting America distracted, like getting us involved in another foreign entanglement like Bush and Clinton did.
00:21:39.000I still get chills watching that video just to understand the level of leadership we saw from our president to take on what we assumed to be our worst enemy possible and try to negotiate peace.
00:21:51.000That takes so much more strength than just declaring another war.
00:21:59.000Look, cancel culture is a very big problem.
00:22:02.000And the fact is, the internet never forgets.
00:22:05.000There has never been a more important time to protect your internet activity, which is why I urge you to get ExpressVPN.
00:22:10.000Everything you search for, watch or click online can be tracked by big tech companies.
00:22:15.000They then match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.
00:22:21.000When I switch on ExpressVPN with my computer or phone, my IP address is masked by a secure VPN server, which makes it harder for websites to identify me.
00:22:30.000The ExpressVPN app also encrypts my network data to protect my sensitive information from being compromised.
00:22:37.000Plus, you can use ExpressVPN on up to five devices simultaneously so multiple users on your network can stay safe with a single subscription.
00:22:45.000What I like the best is how easy it is to use.
00:22:48.000It just takes one click to protect all your devices.
00:22:50.000That's why they're rated the number one VPN by CNET and Wired.
00:22:54.000So stop handing over your data to big tech companies.
00:23:04.000Go to expressvpn.com slash Charlie to get three months free on a one-year package.

00:23:22.000Peace through strength and the strength that President Donald Trump showed internationally and with foreign leaders was something that allowed him to not have us get into another foreign war where Biden will almost assuredly get us into another foreign entanglement, unfortunately.
00:24:29.000I'm sorry, Kanye West talking to Trump.
00:24:32.000It's more important than any specific deal, anything that we bring jobs into America and that we provide a transition with mental health and the American education curriculum.
00:24:47.000And I encourage you to watch it in full because they agreed on a lot.
00:24:52.000I don't know how well he did, but that was definitely an amazing moment.
00:24:56.000And President Donald Trump deserved credit for just the willingness to take a risk.
00:25:01.000Take a risk and connect with the American people in a language they understand.
00:25:04.000We like to refer to this president as the pop culture president because he understood what makes our country tick, what we love, what we're passionate about, and he engaged in that too.
00:25:13.000President Donald Trump was the most pro-life president in American history.
00:25:16.000Let's go to cut 38 of President Trump at the March for Life.
00:26:06.000And the most pro-life president in American history, also the most ridiculed president, obviously, in modern American history, large in part because of that.
00:26:14.000Then, of course, the China plague came, the China coronavirus came, and President Donald Trump was quick to blame China for it.
00:26:21.000We have had four years of putting China on defense, which might have bought us some time.
00:26:25.000Unfortunately, that's going to come to an end.
00:27:34.000And the United States has been taking advantage of on trade and on military and on everything else for many years.
00:27:44.000And I'm here and I've been scraping it out.
00:27:47.000Sound familiar to his announcement for the presidency?
00:27:49.000Where most politicians like Biden and other establishment politicians, they'll say one thing just to get in power and then they kind of lose it.
00:27:57.000They're like, I said that thing, whatever.
00:28:48.000That's usually what kids say at high school graduations because we have been so blessed by this, not just the president himself, but his whole team, everything that has been done through all the hard work.
00:28:59.000And you know so many of those people that worked in the White House, they get in at like 6.30 in the morning and they leave at 9 o'clock at night and they've been working so hard.
00:29:06.000And we want to appreciate those people because they really went through a lot and it was a harder presidency than ever to serve because of all the pressure.
00:29:25.000Thank you for your question, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:29:28.000I think the National Guard is there as a reaction to what happened two weeks ago, but also to give that I don't think that the Democrats want the aesthetic of a vibrant, open Washington, D.C.
00:29:41.000I think they want the aesthetic of, look how awful everything is.
00:29:54.000And the reality is right now, everything in like a 30-block radius is completely shut down.
00:29:59.000You have to provide your address, your utility statements to prove that you're going home if you live downtown, your tax payments to prove that you're going to work if you work downtown.
00:30:08.000So it seems like the presence of tens of thousands of troops, more so than Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq combined in Washington, D.C. today, is a little bit unnecessary.
00:30:23.000We have a giant stack of papers for you guys full of all of the accomplishments from this president.
00:30:28.000And the sad reality is the media isn't going to cover most of these things simply because they're not flashy news topics of the day and they don't make the coolest headlines, even though the work that was completed by this administration directly benefited the lives of millions of Americans every single day.
00:30:44.000Obviously, we know the economy is probably the largest stronghold from this administration and will hopefully end up helping us out for years to come, assuming that the Biden administration doesn't undo everything on day one, which obviously we're expecting a little bit of.
00:30:57.000We saw record job growth over the last four years, record low unemployment.
00:31:01.000At one point, there were even more jobs available than people that could fill them, Charlie.
00:31:06.000We had the greatest economy in American history.
00:31:08.000And then, of course, we locked down because of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:31:13.000Historically, the bottom income earners were Most positively affected.
00:31:19.000Not to mention the largest middle-class tax cut in American history.
00:31:23.000The jobless claims hit a 50-year low, as you mentioned.
00:31:26.000Poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics reached record lows.
00:31:29.000Income inequality fell for two straight years and by the largest amounts in over a decade.
00:31:33.000And here's a statistic you probably won't hear in the media, but the bottom 50% of American households saw a 40% increase in net worth.
00:31:42.000That is amazing of an accomplishment from the Trump administration.
00:31:45.000And just to know that this administration was fighting so hard for the groups of people that the media said they couldn't care less about is so important to remember.
00:31:53.000Created 1.2 million manufacturing construction jobs, brought supply chains back to the United States, tax relief for the middle class, peace in the Middle East between Israel, UAE, Bahrain, fair and reciprocal trade, redoing NAFTA to the USMCA that put our country first, which was a promise made and a promise kept.
00:32:12.000We're finally energy independent, something that Biden plans to change, unleashing America's oil and natural gas potential.
00:32:21.000Not to mention replenished the national strategic stockpile, ensured American leadership and technology and innovation, advanced women's economic empowerment, investing in America's workers and families.
00:32:34.000Joe Biden plans to cancel Keystone XL Pipeline on day one and the Dakona Dakota access pipeline, which would be a gift to Russia and China, which is the point, of course.
00:32:42.000Of course, that is what their aim and what their objective is.
00:32:46.000And we're going to keep on going through this list, and it's pretty incredible.
00:32:49.000Canceling the Iran deal, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights, redoing NAFTA, no new wars, which is something I wish they would have talked about more in the campaign.
00:32:58.000Finally, taking illegal immigration seriously, hundreds of miles of the border wall built, 200 circuit court judges and growing, Gorsuch Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, all of that.
00:33:07.000But, Mr. President, for all of us that have supported, we want to say thank you for everything that you have done these last couple of years.
00:33:23.000But I could tell you this right now: in six months and nine months, you're going to wish President Trump was still president.
00:33:31.000In a year from now, you're going to wish that President Trump was still president.
00:33:34.000His longest-lasting legacy of challenging China, reinvigorating the American worker, changing the Republican Party for better, giving a voice to people that have never been involved in the process before, making the Republican Party one that has the MAGA doctrine.
00:33:49.000And I think all of us need to say thank you for President Trump for what he has done these last four years for our country.
00:33:55.000I think we took for granted how much of a fighter we've had in the Oval Office for the last few years.
00:34:00.000Someone who's willing to go to bat for the American people, not just play political games in Washington.
00:34:05.000I'm so, so grateful for that as someone who probably would have been invisible to the political establishment, and I'm definitely going to miss that.
00:34:12.000So we wanted to make sure we saw his last day off properly.
00:34:16.000We're going to do that as well as we continue to build this out.
00:34:19.000But Mr. President, thank you for enduring, persevering, for having the back of American students signing the free speech executive order and for never giving up.
00:35:35.000Let's get to some more sound here and let's just get to kind of some of the more news of the day.
00:35:43.000But we are kind of just looking back on the last four years positively on the impact that it had made on our country and just the amazing amount of accomplishments and success in more ways than one.
00:35:56.000Let's go to Cut 46 when President Trump at the UN General Assembly called Kim Jong-un Rocketman.
00:36:04.000The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.
00:36:18.000Rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.
00:36:24.000And I think that was back when Rex Tillerson was still.
00:36:27.000Yeah, you saw the clip there of him as Secretary of State with Nikki Haley.
00:36:31.000But let's not forget it was this nickname that led to him visiting the DMZ to begin with in Korea.
00:37:33.000What I want for my people, I just want patience and pass that we can get to the U.S. because they're having a new president, where it's Biden.
00:37:42.000He's given us 100 days to get to the U.S. There you go.
00:37:47.000100 days to get to the U.S. and then mass amnesty comes after that.
00:37:51.000I won't be surprised if and when that happens, but as we can expect from the immigration policies of the left, you better not challenge them or you'll be called the worst names in the book.
00:38:01.000Let's, so there's some other clips here that I do want to get to.
00:38:05.000But before I do, I want to just say that there is going to be a mad dash to try to eliminate and abolish the Trump legacy, try and redefine it for something that it quite honestly isn't.
00:38:18.000And Isabel, you worked in the White House.
00:38:20.000You know how hard so many people in the White House worked in more ways than one to try to accomplish these policy objectives, whether it be foreign policy, domestic policy.
00:38:30.000And it really is an amazing thing how much was done.
00:38:33.000And it was more than just a president.
00:38:38.000And it even went beyond the White House.
00:38:40.000But during my time as an intern there, I was very fortunate to work in the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
00:38:45.000And I love to tell this story because it tells the significance of the character of this president and the White House.
00:38:50.000We hosted many events called State Day conferences, where I would call hundreds upon hundreds of people in a day and invite state legislators, mayors, county commissioners, local government officials to come to the White House to hear about all of the resources that were available to them from the federal government down to the local and state government levels and to meet people like the vice president, Kellyanne Conway, and cabinet secretaries.
00:39:12.000For most of the people that I called, that was the first phone call ever that they had received from the White House, let alone an invitation to come check it out.
00:39:19.000And to see such bipartisan support for this movement from within this White House, once those individuals made it to Washington, D.C., was so inspiring.
00:39:27.000This is an administration that's focused on serving the people and the state and local governments from the federal level, not the other way around.
00:39:48.000And they got a lot done, renegotiated our major trade deals, negotiated peace in the Middle East, and just changed the way American politics were done in general.
00:39:57.000All the while in the midst of a global pandemic, the shutdowns that came alongside of it, the Chinese coronavirus and all of it.
00:40:03.000They put up with so much over the last four years.
00:40:06.000And we just want to say thank you to all of the staffers who worked in this administration.
00:40:10.000It's been so inspiring to see all of your work ethic and the commitment that you have to this country and to the American people.
00:40:34.000We've got the best growth rate in a decade, well over 3% now.
00:40:39.000And the result is the Trump stock market rally.
00:40:42.000As you said, 81 record highs for the Dow Industrials since the election of Donald Trump and over $6 trillion added to the value of all stocks being traded today.
00:40:54.000And Cut 22 is a Michigan man who says that President Trump's tax cuts helped him upgrade his equipment, his manufacturing equipment.
00:41:02.000This is the first time we're moving forward to a future, putting, you know, upgrading our equipment.
00:41:08.000And you talked about your shops bought four to four or six new trucks for last year with the tax cuts from President Trump, four brand new 2018 mixers.
00:41:18.000We were driving 1999s before that and older.
00:41:21.000And this year, we were able to purchase two more brand new cement mixers.
00:41:26.000And then Cut 21, when even ABC admitted that President Donald Trump's tax cuts, they lowered taxes not just for high-income earners, but for people in the middle income ladder and the lower income ladder.
00:42:47.000He shifted, got a negotiation with the president of Mexico right before he leaves office, put Canada in a bind that they had to come to an agreement.
00:42:57.000And now he just got the Speaker of the House.
00:42:59.000Do you think he loves to impeach him to agree to this?
00:43:02.000And that's just one of the amazing portfolio accomplishments.
00:43:24.000What he'll do, foreign policy, I think will be some of his, you know, the biggest damage that he'll do, especially when it comes to Iran and renegotiating that.
00:43:32.000When it comes to the southern border, he's probably almost assuredly going to keep the southern border wide open with zero to any sort of barriers whatsoever, which is just going to be a tragedy for the country.
00:43:43.000We have to do everything we possibly can to try and pressure senators and congresspeople in the White House to demand border security for our country, especially senators like Mark Kelly, who ran on, oh, I'm not against border security.
00:43:55.000You know, okay, well, let's put the pressure then on Senator Mark Kelly to see if he actually believes that.
00:44:01.000And this policy portfolio, I'm telling you right now, Obama did not have a policy portfolio in eight years like President Trump had in four years.
00:44:08.000And with a Congress for two of those years that was diametrically opposed to him, with a Congress that was against him at every single turn.
00:44:17.000And even in the first couple of years, a lot of the Republicans that weren't totally on board for his complete and his total agenda.
00:44:22.000Senator Mitch McConnell has come out and said that President Donald Trump provoked the mob that came to the Capitol building.
00:44:34.000The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals who tried to stop Congress from doing our duty.
00:44:47.000They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.
00:44:52.000And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government, which they did not like.
00:45:01.000And so Senator Mitch McConnell is blaming President Trump, it looks like solely for what happened at the Capitol.
00:45:08.000And you can say that you think that President Trump could have chose his words differently and all of that.
00:45:13.000However, that is not the complete picture of everything we have seen as far as there were people and instigators that were there ahead of time.
00:45:21.000In fact, just today, there is an instigator that was arrested who seemed to have been planning this starting on January 1st.
00:45:31.000He was just arrested today, part of a group called Oath Keepers.
00:45:36.000And he said with conspiracy, not just unlawful entry.
00:45:40.000I believe that is the first arrest of its kind.
00:45:44.000And it says that he has been planning this for quite some time to come to the Capitol and try to disrupt, maybe disrupt or whatever.
00:45:53.000So that would go against this idea that it was just the people that were at the ellipse that marched over to the United States Capitol building.
00:46:03.000Let's go to this story right here, which I think is really important, which this is going to be the fight that we're going to have to kind of go up against in Congress almost immediately.
00:46:13.000Joe Biden is set to propose an eight-year citizenship path for illegals in our country.
00:46:18.000Quote, President-elect Joe Biden plans to unveil a sweeping immigration bill on day one of his administration, hoping to provide an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the United States.
00:46:29.000It's probably even more than that, by the way, according to a Harvard University study.
00:46:33.000The story goes on to say, under the legislation, those living in the United States as of January 1st, 2021, without legal status, would have a five-year path to temporary legal status or a green card if they pass background checks, pay taxes, or fulfill other basic requirements.
00:46:49.000From there, it's a three-year path to naturalization if they decide to pursue citizenship.
00:46:55.000It says here the bill is not as comprehensive as the last major immigration overhaul when Biden was vice president, but it does appear that some of the roots of the migration from Central America to the United States provides grants for workforce development and English language learning.
00:47:09.000It goes on to say that Biden and his allies, even some Republicans, have identified immigration as a major issue where the new administration could find common ground.
00:47:17.000Yeah, common ground to give massive amnesty.
00:47:22.000The Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and enough other Republican senators to avoid the stalemate that has vexed administrations for both parties for decades.
00:47:29.000Okay, so both parties want immigration reform for different reasons.
00:47:33.000The Democrats want it because it's a potential political constituency for them and it gives new voters into the country.
00:47:40.000Republicans want it because it's cheap labor and more people in the country that might be able to purchase goods and services.
00:47:49.000So both of them want it for different reasons.
00:47:51.000And you kind of have the Chamber of Commerce wing and the Radical Democrat wing that are able to agree on mass amnesty for the country.
00:47:58.000And this has to be one of the top sticking points for those of us that care about what really happens in our country moving this point forward, which is that we are not going to allow a mass amnesty bill to go through the United States Congress.
00:48:09.000We need as many senators as possible to stand up preemptively against this.
00:48:14.000And you're already starting to see Joe Biden is looking at this as a point of agreement with a lot of Republicans.
00:48:19.000Importantly, too, Charlie, this bill that will be introduced tomorrow does not include at all any element of border security, which we were touching on earlier, which we've known over the last four years has been a very major point for the Trump administration because of human trafficking, drug trafficking, illegal firearms trafficking, among other problems across our southern border.
00:48:38.000To completely eliminate any conversation about border security is a direct attempt to overthrow what just happened in the last four years.
00:48:45.000Yeah, and not all Hispanics, by the way, are necessarily Democrats.
00:48:48.000Republicans are doing better and better with Hispanic voters.
00:49:04.000It also improves the working conditions of the American workers here.
00:49:08.000This used to be something that Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders used to talk about, which is strict immigration, that it's the massive corporations that want unlimited flows of people into America.
00:49:21.000They have now said that wide open borders is the best possible thing for them in every way, shape, or form, which that kind of kind of policy pivot is something I'd be super interested in kind of analyzing further on another episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:49:38.000Every new year, all you hear is people say, new year, new me.
00:49:42.000That usually means they'll be picking up better habits or trying new things.
00:49:46.000And if you do take up a new hobby, it's even better that you have amazing audio that will make the experience even better.
00:49:51.000That's why I recommend wireless earbuds from Raycon.
00:49:54.000Whether it's following along to directions in the kitchen, binging an audio book while learning to knit, or powering through a new workout while I pumped up playlist in your ear, a pair of Raycons can make any activity easier and a better time.
00:50:06.000Raycon makes great sound accessible to everyone.
00:50:09.000Their wireless earbuds start at half the price of other premium audio brands.
00:50:55.000Well, I gave an entire speech on that this last weekend, so I encourage you to check out the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
00:51:01.000But look, first you have to just take kind of a damage report of everything, reassess and understand the Democrats will, in miraculous fashion, screw all of this up, and that people are going to want to come back and have conservatives in charge again.
00:51:23.000And the good news is there's a lot of people that we know personally, as well as ourselves, that are going to continue fighting for conservative ideas in this country and attack this more from a cultural perspective rather than political.
00:51:34.000So starting in the next couple of days, Joe Biden will get sworn in.
00:51:39.000He will give his speech to the nation all about unity.
00:51:43.000It was more of kind of a Soviet version of unity, though, which is the absence of opposition.
00:51:48.000Right, rooted in totalitarianism, not a free society whatsoever.
00:51:53.000And so the Biden agenda is widely unpopular with the American people.
00:52:00.000And just let's go into some of the problems that Joe Biden's going to be dealing with.
00:52:05.000Joe Biden's proposing a $2 trillion package, kind of a Chinese coronavirus relief package.
00:52:35.000Therefore, Joe Biden is going to be faced with some form of monetary and currency inflation, stagnant economic growth, people displaced from the labor pool, and he's going to have to own the entire thing.
00:52:48.000So they're going to do this $2 trillion relief bill, which will not be stimulative.
00:52:52.000We've talked about this many times on our program.
00:52:55.000The best way to stimulate the economy is just open up the country completely and fully.
00:53:00.000And Joe Biden is going to have a difficult time navigating this.
00:53:04.000The Federal Reserve is going to come to him and suggest raising rates, not immediately, but soon, because the money supply has gotten out of control of how many dollars we have created and pushed into the economy.
00:53:15.000And so his idea of trying to get the economy up and running will be to actually destroy the American economy as we know it.
00:53:25.000We'll try to just reshape it altogether.
00:53:27.000Now, that's not going to be widely popular.
00:53:32.000That's not going to be popular amongst mainstream Americans that don't want a fundamental redefinition of the American economy where, for example, Joe Biden is already just saying, I'm going to abolish student loan debt.
00:53:46.000This is something I have a lot of problems with.
00:53:49.000First of all, what about people that didn't go to college at all?
00:54:13.000And so what it does is it actually incentivizes and rewards bad behavior.
00:54:18.000So Joe Biden says, I want to forgive up to $10,000 or $20,000 in student loan debt.
00:54:24.000This is not stimulative in any way whatsoever.
00:54:26.000The money will actually just go to colleges or note holders or the federal government.
00:54:32.000It's in no way will this create more economic growth in any way, shape, or form.
00:54:38.000And so Joe Biden's going to have a serious amount of problems because he's going to have a set of realistic challenges and a very corrupt Democrat Party that's going to be demanding certain policy objectives to be put forward that are directly at odds with actually of what actually is going to be good for our country.
00:55:01.000And so that's going to be one of the major challenges for Joe Biden is will I be able to make the country a better place or at least solve some of these problems while also keeping all these promises I made to all of these special interests, the teacher unions, the pharmaceutical companies, the tech companies.
00:55:22.000It's going to be a very, very difficult task for him.
00:55:24.000And so tomorrow he's promising at a State of the Union address that he's going to promise unity.
00:55:29.000Their definition of unity, again, is the absence of opposition.
00:55:50.000And second, we have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers to reach these huge audiences.
00:55:56.000There are people on YouTube, for example, that have a larger audience than daytime CNN.
00:56:02.000And they are extremely radical and pushing extremely radical views.
00:56:06.000And so it's up to the Facebooks and YouTubes in particular to think about whether or not they want to be effectively cable networks for disinformation.
00:56:13.000And then we're going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem.
00:56:16.000You know, these companies have freedom of speech, but I'm not sure we need Verizon, AT ⁇ T, Comcast, and such to be bringing them into tens of millions of homes.
00:56:26.000As we said before, nothing good happens after you say but.
00:56:48.000So he's teaching the next young minds of tech elites at Stanford.
00:56:52.000It's time to really take disinformation seriously.
00:56:55.000Now, mind you, the disinformation they want to take seriously is far-right-wing disinformation, which they loop in with mainstream conservatism.
00:57:02.000However, what about this kind of disinformation?
00:57:05.000Why is this person allowed on social media?
00:57:07.000Let's go to what Hillary Clinton said.
00:57:09.000Hillary Clinton, this stunning podcast, said that she would love to see President Trump's phone records because she suspects that President Trump was calling his buddy Putin, updating him during the tragic Capitol riot, Cut 26.
00:57:23.000With a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas.
00:57:31.000What they all are, I don't think we yet know.
00:57:33.000I hope historically we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings.
00:57:40.000I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our capital.
00:57:48.000But we now know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members have the same disregard for democracy.
00:57:59.000Do you think we need a 9-11 type commission to investigate and report everything that they can pull together and explain what happened?
00:58:09.000And she asked the question in Cut 27 is Nancy Pelosi's answer, where she says, yes, we need an investigative body like the 9-11 Commission.
00:58:18.000I can say President Donald Trump has officially broke Hillary Clinton's brain.
00:58:22.000She never used to be this foolish, but it has been done, quite possibly added to the list of accomplishments of the last four years.
00:58:32.000Let me, again, to your point of who is he beholden to, as I've said over and over, as I said to him in that picture with my blue suit as I was leaving.
00:58:41.000What I was saying to him as I was pointing rudely at him.
00:58:46.000With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.
00:58:49.000I don't know what Putin has on him politically, financially, or personally.
00:58:54.000But what happened last week was a gift to Putin because Putin wants to undermine democracy in our country and throughout the world.
00:59:02.000And these people, unbeknownst to them, maybe, are Putin puppets.
00:59:06.000They were doing Putin's business when they did that at the incitement of an insurrection by the President of the United States.
00:59:14.000So yes, we should have a 9-11 commission, and there is strong support in the Congress to do that.
00:59:20.0009-11 style commission to investigate Trump's ties to Putin.
00:59:25.000I thought that's why we had the Mueller report.
00:59:27.000Now, this goes to show that they are never going to let go.
00:59:31.000They will never let go of President Trump intentionally.
00:59:35.000The reason they will never let go is because their policies are unpopular.
00:59:56.000You control the House, the Senate, the companies, the universities, our channels of communication, our courts, our civil service, the presidency, the military, the intelligence community.
01:00:08.000And that guy on the back nine who's just trying to get some son after working his tail off for four years, he's the problem.
01:00:15.000And it's not lost on me that we were saying that Obama left us with a lot of problems.
01:00:46.000And one thing that really bothers me when it comes to people that are taking credit for the vaccine, President Trump did everything he possibly could to get that into development and implement it out as quickly as possible.
01:01:11.000Investigate videos like this as well, alongside of it, where people were strangely changing, taking their black stuff off and their red, white, and blue stuff on.
01:01:39.000They sure are and sort of hiding in a tree to make sure that people can't see.
01:01:43.000This great soul comes up and gets their faces and their identities, I think.
01:01:49.000But that does not look like a traditional move that if you were all of a sudden quote unquote incited at a cap, you know, at the ellipse, you run over, go to the bushes, take off the black and put on MAGA stuff.
01:02:03.000And notably, put down the American flag that you're holding in the dirt on the ground, walking all over it while you're changing.
01:03:15.000And I could tell you right now that the God who has created us and made us in his image has always promised us that things are not always necessarily going to be easy, but they will always be worth it.
01:03:29.000And so, Amy, my message to you is to first find someone you can talk to about this verbally, keeping things inside around these sorts of thoughts never is a good thing.
01:03:48.000The second thing is understand that it is not a release, it's not something that will make anyone's life happy or easier.
01:03:57.000Instead, you will hurt other people by hurting yourself.
01:04:03.000And I could say that from personal experience of people that have decided to do that.
01:04:10.000And one of the promises that we are given in the Bible is when you trust in God and follow his commandments, you will experience persecution, but the battle's already won.
01:04:22.000And so it might feel as if there's no hope and everything's falling around you, but there is.
01:04:55.000Yeah, Amy, I would just like to echo the fact that there are so many people out there who love you unconditionally.
01:05:01.000I've lost people in my life to suicide, and it's one of the hardest things in the world to grapple with the fact that so often people are struggling so much and you have no idea that they're there.
01:05:11.000So just remember that you're not alone.
01:05:13.000There's always people that you can reach out to.
01:05:15.000And the fact that you reached out to someone today just goes to prove your strength and your ability to weather the storm.
01:05:58.000Here is a question here where a lot of students are at, let's say, Wheaton College, which is too bad, pushing back up against Trump.
01:06:09.000And I'll get into this actually in a podcast.
01:06:12.000So you guys can always email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
01:06:16.000I know Wheaton College very, very well, but basically, it wants even further pushing back against anyone that has any association with Trump at this particular Christian college and this Christian school.
01:06:57.000We need a massive reprogramming campaign of those Trump supporters in every single way.
01:07:03.000And so we're not going to let that happen.
01:07:09.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
01:07:10.000Email us your questions, freedom, at charliekirk.com.
01:07:13.000If you want to support us, go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
