The Charlie Kirk Show - THOUGHTCRIME: Renewal of the American Dream Speech Special

00:00:00.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:01.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:03.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:07.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:10.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:11.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:12.000 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. 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.

00:00:29.000 That's why we are here.

00:00:57.000 Hello, everybody.

00:00:59.000 That was quite the speech.

00:01:00.000 I hustled back down to the studio after a rather eventful evening.

00:01:03.000 We are going to have all the exclusive analysis here on our respective channels.

00:01:09.000 And it was quite a barn-burning speech in many different ways.

00:01:13.000 President Trump listing off his accomplishments, his vision, his agenda for the country.

00:01:18.000 And, of course...

00:01:20.000 All of the impediments that the Democrats are going to throw up.

00:01:24.000 Now we see this a lot, where Democrats refuse to stand, Democrats refuse to applaud, but it's worse than ever.

00:01:32.000 And literally there was one moment where Donald Trump called out a young man with brain cancer becoming an agent of the Secret Service, and Democrats still did not stand up and applaud.

00:01:41.000 If you will not stand up and applaud for a young boy who becomes a member of the Secret Service in an honorary way...

00:01:47.000 There's something really sick and messed up about you.

00:01:51.000 Okay, we have Blake.

00:01:51.000 Blake, how we doing?

00:01:52.000 Howdy.

00:01:53.000 And I think we also have Jack Remote as well.

00:01:56.000 Producer Andrew is coming in here.

00:01:58.000 Now, these speeches, they tend to not matter a lot.

00:02:02.000 However, I will say, I think we first need to appreciate the macro.

00:02:07.000 How awesome it is to kind of see our year of work crescendo in this.

00:02:13.000 I mean, it's like all of our friends are involved from Kash Patel.

00:02:17.000 To Bobby Kennedy, come on in, Tyler.

00:02:20.000 And the whole team.

00:02:22.000 Pretty remarkable stuff.

00:02:23.000 Pete Hegseth.

00:02:24.000 It was like a...

00:02:27.000 They were wondering, would any of those guys get through?

00:02:29.000 And they basically all got through.

00:02:31.000 And I think you deserve a huge amount of credit for that.

00:02:33.000 Charlie, you deserve a huge amount of credit for that.

00:02:35.000 The team deserves credit.

00:02:37.000 For one or two of those, I will receive some praise.

00:02:41.000 Pete Hegseth in particular, that was the red line.

00:02:44.000 You drew the battle line.

00:02:46.000 And you deserve a ton of credit for that.

00:02:49.000 It was like America Fest there on the floor.

00:02:51.000 No, that's exactly right.

00:02:52.000 It's like our speaker list for that.

00:02:55.000 Okay, Jack is with us.

00:02:57.000 Remote Jack, can you hear me?

00:02:59.000 Jack, your thoughts?

00:03:01.000 Instant analysis, Jack, as Miss Daisy is doing all of the aesthetic adjustments here. 0.98

00:03:09.000 Jack, your reaction to this historic address tonight from President Trump?

00:03:13.000 Yeah, so first of all, Charlie, I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of the macro.

00:03:19.000 Not only is this a cap on a remarkable year in 2024, but also it's a cap on a remarkable four-year period, an interregnum.

00:03:30.000 Remember the last time President Trump was giving a speech in this same chamber, Nancy Pelosi was... 0.98

00:03:35.000 Tearing it apart and throwing it on the floor.

00:03:38.000 And now Nancy Pelosi is sitting up in the cheap seats crying.

00:03:42.000 This is a man who the entire world had written off.

00:03:47.000 This is a man who the entire DC power structure, the power structure that you say there assembled, one of the only times all year that you'll see this, by the way, the three branches represented in one room there in the Capitol.

00:04:01.000 They said this man was done, that Trumpism was a fluke, that MAGA was done, that it would never return.

00:04:06.000 And yet, in really not that long at all, it's right back, but back in full dominating command.

00:04:14.000 And this was a command performance from President Trump.

00:04:19.000 Even the Democrats were stuck simply reacting to him.

00:04:21.000 And I think one of the key things that a lot of people are leaving out, and I know folks will, and it's already trending, of course, all over Twitter, that people are talking about how they're all, it's the stunt, The Democrats are performing stunt after stunt and trying to be disruptive and holding up placards and all this.

00:04:39.000 this.

00:04:40.000 But what it really comes down to it is, Charlie, the Democrats have no message.

00:04:43.000 That's why they're resorting to stunts. 0.90

00:04:45.000 That's why they're trying to delay.

00:04:46.000 They have no message.

00:04:47.000 The things that President Trump are doing are popular.

00:04:51.000 Their own polls indicate this, that the American people widely support what he is doing.

00:04:57.000 This election wouldn't have come down the way that he did, winning the popular vote, going seven for seven in the swing states, if they didn't actually want the things that he is currently doing.

00:05:07.000 And that's why the Democrats are sitting there flailing about because they are in absolute panic mode.

00:05:14.000 They're demoralized.

00:05:16.000 They're completely demoralized.

00:05:17.000 And all they can do is basically sit there and jeer because they have no actual response to the work of the American people that's being done by President Trump, J.D. Vance, and yes, even Speaker Johnson.

00:05:30.000 So I want to just make sure this is framed correctly for that this was not a technical State of the Union address.

00:05:37.000 This was the kind of setup of the administration.

00:05:41.000 I mean, first the news-gathering item of Al Green trying to interrupt and interject, but the Democrats just looked like angry hall monitors.

00:05:49.000 Petulant.

00:05:50.000 Petulant.

00:05:51.000 Sore losers.

00:05:52.000 Small, sore losers, not applauding kids with brain cancer.

00:05:56.000 I mean, and the Republicans looked lively.

00:05:59.000 We looked forward thinking.

00:06:02.000 Andrew, have we ever seen...

00:06:04.000 I mean, we've been working together almost seven or eight years.

00:06:06.000 I've been doing this for 13 years.

00:06:07.000 Have we ever seen, let's just say, since Obama, the Democrat Party this week, this disunified, demoralized, just they are a bitter shell for themselves.

00:06:20.000 Almost as if they're a permanent minoritarian faction.

00:06:25.000 That was one of my biggest takeaways.

00:06:27.000 Just how nasty and how small they've become.

00:06:29.000 Well, they've found themselves...

00:06:31.000 Because of their TDS, and I know it's cliche at this point, but it's really true, on the losing side of just about every 70-30 issue, sometimes 80-20 issue, and they've dug their heels in, they're doubling down on stupid, and they just keep going for it.

00:06:45.000 I mean, you know, proof positive is the fact that you were just invited on the Gavin Newsom podcast to explain why they're losing so bad.

00:06:54.000 And why you're drawing crowds of 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 students on these blue campuses.

00:06:59.000 Because they have zero energy.

00:07:01.000 They have zero activist energy, specifically.

00:07:03.000 There's nothing bottom-up in the Democrat movement right now.

00:07:06.000 It's just the sparks aren't there.

00:07:08.000 They're trying to get people rallied at these pro-Ukraine things.

00:07:12.000 It's not working.

00:07:13.000 They're trying to get people rallied against Doge.

00:07:15.000 It's not working.

00:07:16.000 It's not sticking.

00:07:17.000 They're trying to do these really cringe videos of all the senators.

00:07:20.000 You know, doing the same video over and over and over again, and it gets mocked mercilessly online.

00:07:26.000 Everything that they are throwing at this president, he is literally Teflon Don.

00:07:30.000 It's not just lawfare anymore.

00:07:32.000 It's not just, you know, trying to bankrupt his businesses.

00:07:35.000 It's not just trying to get him impeached.

00:07:37.000 Everything that they are throwing at him is not sticking.

00:07:39.000 And here is the real rub if you're a Democrat tonight.

00:07:42.000 He read the Zelensky letter.

00:07:45.000 The Zelensky letter that says, I'm ready to sign the middle of the rights deal at your convenience, Mr. President.

00:07:50.000 Thank you for your leadership.

00:07:51.000 Let's get peace in Ukraine.

00:07:53.000 Let's get to some of the tape here, just to kind of, you know, if people are just tuning in, they had stuff to do, they were at practice or whatever.

00:07:59.000 Let's just kind of go through some of the tape here.

00:08:01.000 I want to go around the horn.

00:08:01.000 Let's start with Cot 118.

00:08:03.000 And to my fellow citizens, America is back.

00:08:09.000 Followed by one of the more viral moments where President Trump went through just some of the waste of doge plaza.

00:08:22.000 Playcut 119. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.

00:08:29.000 Nobody knows what that is.

00:08:33.000 $8 million to promote LGBTQI+. In the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.

00:08:45.000 $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.

00:08:53.000 $60 million.

00:08:56.000 Sir, we have the ambassador and president from Lesotho on the line.

00:09:01.000 Who the hell is from Lesotho, Blake?

00:09:03.000 What is the capital of Lesotho?

00:09:05.000 Oh, what's the capital of Lesotho?

00:09:07.000 Oh, crap.

00:09:08.000 It might be Mbobane.

00:09:10.000 I have to go check that out.

00:09:11.000 Study harder, Blake.

00:09:12.000 Mbobane.

00:09:12.000 It is the country that is completely surrounded by South Africa.

00:09:15.000 Yeah, it's South Africa.

00:09:16.000 Yeah, it's the one totally surrounded by South Africa.

00:09:18.000 Let me check what the...

00:09:19.000 I'm going to look it up.

00:09:20.000 I think you're right.

00:09:20.000 I just looked it up, and it's...

00:09:22.000 I think it's Masaru.

00:09:24.000 Oh, it's Masaru.

00:09:24.000 Masaru.

00:09:25.000 There's a lot of ones that start with M that are, like, all Samish and African.

00:09:28.000 But I love President Trump running through the LGBT. He's like, L-G-P-T-U-I-P-L-S. In my defense, Mbobane is the capital of... 1.00

00:09:38.000 Iswatani, which is the other country surrounding it.

00:09:41.000 Blake, you're not allowed to be wrong.

00:09:42.000 This is an image of the Lesotho.

00:09:45.000 I always thought it was called Lesotho.

00:09:47.000 I looked up the pronunciation.

00:09:50.000 Here's the beautiful Masero.

00:09:52.000 Masero.

00:09:53.000 Masero?

00:09:54.000 I don't know.

00:09:54.000 Masero.

00:09:55.000 There it is.

00:09:56.000 Nobody's ever heard of it.

00:09:58.000 I've heard it.

00:09:59.000 President Trump continued by...

00:10:02.000 I just want to run through this just to kind of reestablish the vibe.

00:10:05.000 President Donald Trump continued by talking about how he declared an emergency on the southern border, something that the Democrats do not like and they don't support.

00:10:15.000 Play cut 120. Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country.

00:10:30.000 And what a job they've done.

00:10:32.000 As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded.

00:10:40.000 ever.

00:10:41.000 They heard my words and they chose not to come.

00:10:59.000 Much easier that way.

00:11:01.000 In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month, and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from mental institutions and insane asylums, were released into our country.

00:11:25.000 Blake, so we can go into more detail here, but just more broadly, we're talking about Doge, America's back.

00:11:31.000 What do you think of the vibe, the tone that President Trump struck here?

00:11:34.000 It feels as if he's resolutely on offense and not letting up.

00:11:37.000 Yeah, it really is.

00:11:39.000 Considering he's been in office a month and a half, it almost sounded like a State of the Union he'd give a year in.

00:11:45.000 Totally.

00:11:46.000 Bam! 0.98

00:11:47.000 We're on aggression on the border.

00:11:49.000 We're doing all of this in foreign policy.

00:11:51.000 We're going to be wrapping up the Ukraine war.

00:11:53.000 We're going to be trying to get Greenland.

00:11:55.000 He even kind of lays out...

00:11:57.000 The approach on Greenland where he's saying we support Greenlandic self-determination because that's how it would happen.

00:12:03.000 We're unlikely to just invade it.

00:12:05.000 What it would be is we would want the people of Greenland to agitate for independence and then say, you know, we'll accept you if you were to obtain independence.

00:12:13.000 He lays it out that way.

00:12:15.000 Obviously on the border, on Doge.

00:12:18.000 On combating the cartels, it really does.

00:12:20.000 It sounds like an administration that's a lot older than six weeks.

00:12:24.000 And I want to marvel again.

00:12:26.000 I know we said this at the beginning.

00:12:27.000 Hello, everybody that's just tuning in right now.

00:12:28.000 And if you guys want to check out this gear, the Doge gear, by the way.

00:12:44.000 The other element that I just, the visual of seeing Trump's cabinet was just remarkable.

00:12:49.000 Oh, look, they have at least Slotkin for the response.

00:12:52.000 We definitely will not air that.

00:12:54.000 That is a cursed and a wretched, let's just say.

00:13:00.000 Duty?

00:13:01.000 Yeah, task.

00:13:02.000 I was going to task that one has.

00:13:05.000 Tyler, just kind of from the internet vibe here, most of America doesn't watch this speech.

00:13:10.000 Everyone kind of goes to their teams.

00:13:12.000 But was there anything the Democrats did to win over leaners, independents?

00:13:17.000 In fact, I think President Trump did a lot to probably bring anybody that might have been like, oh, I'm not sure about this Doge thing. 1.00

00:13:23.000 Further into our camp, I thought he delivered it very effective.

00:13:26.000 I thought that the way he went about it was a master class.

00:13:29.000 And I'm not just saying that because he's a friend and we support him.

00:13:32.000 I thought a lot of center-right people in my life were texting me very favorably throughout the speech, Tyler.

00:13:38.000 Yeah, no, I totally agree.

00:13:39.000 I think this was the best speech he's ever given.

00:13:41.000 By a lot.

00:13:42.000 And we've been very critical and watched every single one.

00:13:44.000 I thought he was excellent.

00:13:45.000 He was excellent.

00:13:46.000 How they handled the people who were out of line.

00:13:49.000 He was great.

00:13:49.000 He was magnanimous.

00:13:50.000 And Speaker Johnson did it perfectly.

00:13:52.000 That was one of the most surprising moments.

00:13:55.000 Do we have a tape from that?

00:13:55.000 The forcefulness with which he said...

00:13:58.000 And you could actually...

00:13:59.000 There was a moment, by the way.

00:14:00.000 I hope we get this in the clip, where the anger flashed on Speaker Johnson's face.

00:14:04.000 It was actually something.

00:14:06.000 You could see it.

00:14:08.000 Righteous indignation.

00:14:09.000 He kind of like...

00:14:11.000 Mike Johnson glared at Al Green, you could tell, and then he kind of composed himself.

00:14:15.000 Gosh darn it, stop it. 0.71

00:14:16.000 I'm a little surprised.

00:14:17.000 I'll be honest.

00:14:19.000 I'm a little surprised once that started happening that Democrats didn't plunge in on it and say, okay, fine, escort all of us out.

00:14:26.000 Imagine if they'd done that.

00:14:28.000 Take a half hour to walk every single one out.

00:14:30.000 They got the vibe that it was not going well for them.

00:14:34.000 You could see it through the screen.

00:14:36.000 And Mike Johnson, he's a little guy.

00:14:39.000 And he's nice, and he's like your next-door neighbor.

00:14:41.000 He's the guy that you see at PTA meetings.

00:14:43.000 Let's analyze it.

00:14:43.000 That's right.

00:14:44.000 Mike Johnson is the guy that shows up early at church, and he helps you park cars.

00:14:48.000 Exactly.

00:14:49.000 Welcome to our congress.

00:14:50.000 Exactly.

00:14:51.000 Yes.

00:14:51.000 Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted.

00:14:59.000 This is based for Mike Johnson.

00:15:00.000 The chair now directs the sergeant.

00:15:02.000 Mike Johnson unleashed.

00:15:04.000 Remove this gentleman from the chamber.

00:15:08.000 I love this.

00:15:10.000 Look at Ted Luda.

00:15:12.000 Remove this gentleman from JD. JD with the thumb.

00:15:16.000 Yeah, by the way, that meme's going huge.

00:15:19.000 JD has surprising memetic capacity.

00:15:23.000 Rumble has a, like, Rumble Plus has a JD stare.

00:15:26.000 Because JD understands memes.

00:15:28.000 Yes, Jack.

00:15:29.000 Yeah, Jack, break down the meme ability of JD Vance.

00:15:34.000 Memetic warfare.

00:15:35.000 Right.

00:15:36.000 Right, so JD understands memetic warfare.

00:15:39.000 He's already been the hottest meme of the last 24 hours.

00:15:45.000 JD Vance edits are currently the hottest meme.

00:15:49.000 If you're in the meme economy right now, you want to invest heavily in JD Vance edits right now.

00:15:57.000 They're going to the moon.

00:15:58.000 Are you long on JD memes?

00:16:00.000 They're currently moving.

00:16:02.000 And it's just incredible.

00:16:04.000 So much to cover, guys.

00:16:05.000 Let's go to some more tape here of Speaker Mike Johnson getting a little bit fired up.

00:16:11.000 This is 134. Oh, this is when, I'm sorry, this is Al Green, who is going when he went after the reporters.

00:16:20.000 Al Green, you know what Al Green was shouting?

00:16:23.000 I voted for trans mice. 1.00

00:16:25.000 That's what he was.

00:16:27.000 I watched.

00:16:28.000 This is amazing.

00:16:30.000 Play cut 134. He is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility.

00:16:40.000 Well, look, I'm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me.

00:16:45.000 I didn't say to anyone, don't punish me.

00:16:48.000 I've said I'll accept the punishment.

00:16:49.000 But it's worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

00:17:01.000 Okay, that's the best they got.

00:17:02.000 By the way, he's all alone.

00:17:03.000 I think he thought he was going to have some sort of show of force.

00:17:05.000 That was the Jerry Maguire of the joint session.

00:17:08.000 Who's coming with me?

00:17:10.000 It's like a Napoleon move, and he charges out.

00:17:13.000 It's like, men, follow me! 0.96

00:17:15.000 And he runs up, turns around.

00:17:16.000 No one followed him, gets blown away.

00:17:18.000 No, the Sergeant of Arms came down to him and whispered to him.

00:17:21.000 That's what he was saying to him.

00:17:22.000 Hey, nobody's with you.

00:17:24.000 Nobody's with you.

00:17:26.000 You're not cool.

00:17:27.000 You're not cool.

00:17:29.000 They're all legends of their own minds.

00:17:31.000 They actually thought that all the Democrats would come with him as if Moses parting the Red Sea and everyone just marches out.

00:17:41.000 And then they realized it was just Al Green, but not like the good Al Green.

00:17:46.000 I just want to know why it is that Mr. Snuffleupagus was escorted out.

00:17:55.000 This was one of my favorite moments.

00:17:57.000 This was President Donald Trump saying, so how did all that work out for you?

00:18:01.000 Just a beautiful taunt to these savages that wanted to put Donald Trump in Rikers Island. 1.00

00:18:07.000 A taunt to all of them and making them eat it in front of their face, in front of the media.

00:18:13.000 He deserves all this, by the way.

00:18:14.000 President Trump should have gone.

00:18:15.000 He was, by Trump terms, very restrained and presidential because he could have gone a lot harder on them on this stuff.

00:18:23.000 A lot harder.

00:18:24.000 Considering a lot of the architects of the Trump lawfare were in the audience.

00:18:29.000 Schiff was there.

00:18:30.000 Adam Schiff was in the audience.

00:18:32.000 A lot of these people that have been trying to put Donald Trump behind bars were right there.

00:18:36.000 Let's play Cut 121. We've ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.

00:18:49.000 How did that work out?

00:18:52.000 Not too good.

00:18:53.000 Not too good.

00:18:55.000 And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.

00:19:13.000 It's back.

00:19:14.000 And two days ago, I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America.

00:19:30.000 Also, a shout out to Tai Gant.

00:19:38.000 20 bucks.

00:19:39.000 Thank you, guys.

00:19:39.000 He says his message was, thank you, Charlie.

00:19:41.000 Hello, Tygon.

00:19:42.000 His name is Charlie.

00:19:44.000 Oh, Charlie.

00:19:45.000 Very good.

00:19:45.000 So, Lawfare.

00:19:47.000 I think it's French.

00:19:48.000 Charlay.

00:19:49.000 Charlay.

00:19:50.000 I got a lot of friends in France.

00:19:51.000 Charlay Cook.

00:19:51.000 You do.

00:19:52.000 The French love you.

00:19:53.000 Who wants to take this?

00:19:54.000 Whoever can chime in.

00:19:55.000 Charlay Vu Francais.

00:19:56.000 Is this the end of the modern Lawfare state? 0.78

00:20:01.000 Who wants to take it?

00:20:02.000 That's a big question.

00:20:03.000 Have we seen an end?

00:20:04.000 The point being that it's now not just unethical so that it's wrong, but what Trump might have done is that it actually could create a political force that could displace you, meaning that it's now politically dangerous to do this.

00:20:18.000 I think, given how aggressive the left got, kind of the best way to check it is a sense of mutually assured destruction.

00:20:26.000 And if there is a fear that if you go...

00:20:29.000 Way beyond the bounds of what can remotely be justified, that you'll get vaporized by the DOJ in some way, that will encourage polite behavior.

00:20:38.000 An armed society is a polite society, as a lot of gun rights activists like to say, and we can have...

00:20:45.000 That same principle apply to lawfare.

00:20:48.000 The best guarantee against lawfare is that both sides can do it to each other.

00:20:53.000 Thank you, Max Q, for a $5 donation.

00:20:56.000 Thank you very much.

00:20:57.000 Mutually assured destruction.

00:20:58.000 Yeah.

00:20:59.000 Well, I mean, I would say that my read on it is their overreaction to Trump, even as he's been president, they're saying he's weaponizing the DOJ, Kash Patel, whatever.

00:21:09.000 It's simply a projection of their own guilt onto themselves.

00:21:12.000 Because they know that they acted out of line.

00:21:14.000 They know that they have it coming.

00:21:16.000 And they know that he has every right to seek a little bit of retribution after what happened to him.

00:21:19.000 And so all of this is projection.

00:21:21.000 All of this is them being fearful.

00:21:24.000 I love the side-by-side clip of Kash Patel before he was even nominated to be a director saying, Schiff is a criminal.

00:21:33.000 He's the number one criminal in Congress.

00:21:35.000 And then you've got Schiff protesting.

00:21:37.000 Cash Patel becoming the next FBI director.

00:21:40.000 There's a reason these people are running in panic.

00:21:43.000 Well, and that's with bullies. 0.98

00:21:44.000 I mean, the only way that you can defeat a bully is by standing up to a bully.

00:21:48.000 And you've got to, like, punch back.

00:21:49.000 And sometimes it takes the whole school.

00:21:51.000 Sometimes it takes the group.

00:21:52.000 And these people are individual bullies.

00:21:55.000 There's not that many of them.

00:21:56.000 It's just, it's really a dozen really bad people that are directing.

00:22:01.000 Hundreds of sheep.

00:22:02.000 But they're enabled by the sheep.

00:22:04.000 Well, for sure.

00:22:05.000 But we have hundreds of thousands, millions of people who are willing to step up now.

00:22:09.000 All right.

00:22:10.000 Here is the overly happy and joyous...

00:22:14.000 When I think of joy in the morning, I think of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. There's no other joys we can think of on MSNBC anymore.

00:22:24.000 Because they're joyless.

00:22:25.000 Don't say it!

00:22:26.000 I'm just so...

00:22:29.000 We lost Jack.

00:22:31.000 This is Rachel the Great.

00:22:34.000 Play cut 140. For the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle.

00:22:42.000 Out of praising a young man who thus far survived pediatric cancer, as if the president had something to do with that.

00:22:51.000 This was in the midst of him praising Doge.

00:22:54.000 Doge cuts, among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer.

00:23:01.000 Do you notice she kind of does that thing where she just kind of like smugly ends every sentence? 0.99

00:23:06.000 Pediatric cancer.

00:23:08.000 Pediatric cancer.

00:23:09.000 Yes, and I hate it.

00:23:10.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:23:11.000 I totally agree.

00:23:12.000 I want to say dialectically.

00:23:14.000 I guess that is the right word, right?

00:23:16.000 It's an intonation down.

00:23:17.000 Exactly.

00:23:18.000 It's configured into the DNA of how she speaks.

00:23:22.000 It's like the attitude has a parallel.

00:23:24.000 It's when you listen.

00:23:25.000 Dude, I could...

00:23:27.000 I could talk about this for hours.

00:23:28.000 It is a way that Democrats and people in Washington, D.C., and anyone who's been...

00:23:33.000 You guys have all spent time in D.C. recently.

00:23:35.000 It's a way of indicating that you're on the same team as someone when you match this weird D.C. bi-coastal inflection, but specifically one that travels between the D.C. Georgetown...

00:23:49.000 Area where you are putting pronunciation on strange words.

00:23:55.000 And then if you're Chris Hayes, what you will do is at the end of every sentence, you will then go up and you will say Elon Musk.

00:24:06.000 It's like you're getting scared as you're saying the word or something.

00:24:09.000 It's completely ridiculous.

00:24:11.000 The opposite of which, of course, is Tulsi Gabbard who always goes down at the end of her sentences. 1.00

00:24:15.000 No, that is true.

00:24:15.000 She does go down.

00:24:16.000 I think I stay pretty...

00:24:18.000 Pretty even.

00:24:18.000 You have your moments, Charlie.

00:24:22.000 When I go up or I go down?

00:24:24.000 That's the question.

00:24:25.000 We'll see.

00:24:25.000 It's a very coffee shop, Karen.

00:24:28.000 Totally.

00:24:29.000 If you overhear...

00:24:30.000 If you've ever heard Karen's talking about how much they hate Trump in a coffee shop...

00:24:35.000 Yeah, but it has to be in a big city blue big city.

00:24:37.000 It's the eternal Obama inflection, kind of.

00:24:41.000 That's what it always makes me think.

00:24:42.000 It's definitely a female Karen-y thing. 0.97

00:24:45.000 Let's go to Cut122, one of my favorite remarks.

00:24:50.000 Just calling out the Democrats for who they are, what they believe, and their nonsense.

00:24:54.000 Play Cut122.

00:24:56.000 And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.

00:25:08.000 Nothing I can do.

00:25:10.000 I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history.

00:25:23.000 Or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded.

00:25:27.000 And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.

00:25:37.000 They won't do it, no matter what.

00:25:38.000 Five times I've been up here.

00:25:41.000 It's very sad.

00:25:43.000 And it just shouldn't be this way.

00:25:46.000 All right.

00:25:47.000 I also want to say thank you, Shonek and Shadow, for your support.

00:25:51.000 They said, quote, thank.

00:25:52.000 They couldn't stand for the victims.

00:25:53.000 May God help them.

00:25:54.000 Poor Pocahontas couldn't even look up from her phone. 1.00

00:25:57.000 Also getting lots of questions asking about...

00:25:59.000 Our hat, that is charliekirkstore.com.

00:26:02.000 Ryan will put it in the chat.

00:26:04.000 That is charliekirkstore.com.

00:26:06.000 If you guys want to wear this 47 hat or this Doge shirt, we'll get them off for you guys. 0.98

00:26:12.000 I see the 47 hat everywhere.

00:26:14.000 It's amazing.

00:26:15.000 Everywhere.

00:26:16.000 It has blanketed the value.

00:26:17.000 It's actually really good quality, not to toot our own hair, but it's, what do you call it, plush or whatever?

00:26:23.000 It stands out.

00:26:25.000 I think it was Justin that the day after the election...

00:26:28.000 What do you think about this design?

00:26:29.000 I'm like, that's amazing.

00:26:31.000 It's unique, by the way.

00:26:32.000 It's great, and it's understated, so you don't get...

00:26:35.000 Well, maybe some people want that.

00:26:36.000 But it's kind of a code, right?

00:26:38.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:26:39.000 And people look at it like...

00:26:40.000 It's got the little turning point.

00:26:42.000 Imagine if you're totally non-political, and you're just like, what the hell is that?

00:26:46.000 What is 47?

00:26:47.000 Is that a football player, or is that a basketball player?

00:26:51.000 Something the kids are doing?

00:26:52.000 Yeah, seriously.

00:26:53.000 I think it's a sports.

00:26:54.000 Yay, sports.

00:26:55.000 So, okay, let's go to another...

00:26:56.000 By the way, you guys can...

00:26:58.000 Purchase them and also become a member if you'd like.

00:27:01.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com Let's go here to this one.

00:27:05.000 One of my favorite...

00:27:06.000 Okay, so by the way, there's a lot more tape here.

00:27:08.000 Nicole Wallace has just attacked this guy with brain cancer as well. 1.00

00:27:11.000 Saying, quote, I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters.

00:27:17.000 Yikes, that's dark.

00:27:18.000 We're about to have it.

00:27:20.000 These people are...

00:27:21.000 These are demented people.

00:27:22.000 That's really sick.

00:27:24.000 That's like sick, sick stuff, man.

00:27:26.000 Nasty folks.

00:27:27.000 Here is the beautiful moment.

00:27:28.000 Let's watch it.

00:27:29.000 Let's keep our mics live here. 1.00

00:27:31.000 This is the one that, it was so powerful.

00:27:33.000 You know the best moment because the Democrats have to go all in on it, where President Trump appoints 13-year-old DJ Daniel, who has brain cancer and only months to live, as an honorary Secret Service agent.

00:27:45.000 And the MSNBC decides to go all in attacking this kid.

00:27:50.000 Well, attacking Trump for celebrating.

00:27:52.000 No, I'm saying I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Trump supporters.

00:27:58.000 No, they are attacking him.

00:27:59.000 This is the real sick line.

00:28:00.000 And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.

00:28:04.000 She straight up says that. 0.95

00:28:05.000 That's crazy.

00:28:07.000 I mean, these people are...

00:28:10.000 You should be yanked off of TV because the FCC... Again, I'm not big on cancel culture, but that's...

00:28:16.000 I mean, all right, let's watch this.

00:28:18.000 Mike's on.

00:28:19.000 And can we please get Nicole Wallace? 0.99

00:28:21.000 And then can we tweet it and really do our thing there?

00:28:24.000 1.30, please.

00:28:26.000 In 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.

00:28:30.000 The doctors gave him five months at most to live.

00:28:35.000 That was more than six years ago.

00:28:38.000 Since that time, D.J. and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and D.J. has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times.

00:28:52.000 The police love him.

00:28:54.000 The police departments love him.

00:28:55.000 And tonight, D.J., we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.

00:29:00.000 I am asking our new Secret Service Director.

00:29:04.000 Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.

00:29:10.000 So beautiful.

00:29:11.000 That's so proud.

00:29:15.000 Not a single Democrat.

00:29:32.000 Beautiful video.

00:29:34.000 Oh, that was a touching moment.

00:29:41.000 And that's Mark Coran, the same guy that was next to Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:29:45.000 So here is now, with that framing, breaking news, Nicole Wallace.

00:29:51.000 Again, it takes a lot for me to kind of get outraged about cable news chattering.

00:29:55.000 Like, it's just kind of talking at each other.

00:29:57.000 They have to come up with something.

00:29:58.000 I talk about maybe less than half of 1% of incendiary stuff makes it onto the Charlie Kirk show.

00:30:03.000 Usually they come on, like, whatever.

00:30:05.000 Play cut 143. I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel, and I let myself feel joy about DJ, and I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years, right?

00:30:22.000 And I hope he lives.

00:30:24.000 And the life he wants to live.

00:30:25.000 He wants to be a cop.

00:30:26.000 He knows what he wants to do.

00:30:27.000 And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you.

00:30:31.000 And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer.

00:30:34.000 But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters.

00:30:39.000 And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.

00:30:44.000 And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people.

00:30:54.000 How do you make that mental jump?

00:30:57.000 Did you hear the sound of silence from our panel for like two seconds?

00:31:01.000 Like the pain.

00:31:04.000 Jack, what's your take there?

00:31:06.000 So what it is is, again, the NPC mind only runs on what its last programming is.

00:31:15.000 So the MSNBC news talker...

00:31:20.000 Who doesn't come up with their own minds themselves, who doesn't write their own scripts.

00:31:23.000 She's scrambling because she doesn't have her producers in her ear telling her what to say. 0.98

00:31:27.000 And so she's thinking, oh, well, the last time I've said anything positive about police officers.

00:31:34.000 It was directly to January 6th.

00:31:36.000 So she's just going right back to whatever the current standard programming model is for police officers. 0.95

00:31:42.000 So you can't say police officer racist.

00:31:44.000 You can't say police officer, oh, they target black people because obviously it doesn't work here.

00:31:48.000 So she's got to say police officer good.

00:31:50.000 And that means, oh, January 6th.

00:31:52.000 But then the problem is she takes it.

00:31:55.000 She just goes way too far down the line because she runs the entire program. 1.00

00:31:59.000 What you're actually seeing here, this is very instructive into understanding the NPC model.

00:32:03.000 The way the NPC works, the non-player character, is they're just running programs.

00:32:07.000 And so she just runs the J6 program over.

00:32:10.000 And I honestly guarantee you she doesn't even realize what she said.

00:32:16.000 Private student loan debt in the United States totals about $300 billion.

00:32:22.000 About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.

00:32:25.000 Why refinances distressed or defaulted private student loan debt?

00:32:29.000 That others will not touch.

00:32:30.000 They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay.

00:32:34.000 That is YREFI.com.

00:32:36.000 That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

00:32:37.000 If you are a private student loan borrower, this could be a great solution for you.

00:32:42.000 Many clients are not even able to make the minimum monthly payment on their private student loans when they first contact YREFI. YREFI is also the sponsor of our campus tour.

00:32:52.000 They have helped sponsor AmericaFest and more.

00:32:55.000 So go to YReFi.com.

00:32:57.000 Do you have a co-borrower?

00:32:59.000 YReFi can get them released from the loan.

00:33:27.000 I wish I could read the chat right now, Charlie, but I can't.

00:33:30.000 It's too many beeps.

00:33:31.000 I want to read a couple of these.

00:33:33.000 This is FB for $10.

00:33:36.000 Thank you.

00:33:36.000 This is amazing.

00:33:38.000 Hey, Charlie, I don't know if you'll see this, but you inspired me to join the Navy.

00:33:41.000 You never talk about military service, really, which is true.

00:33:44.000 I don't.

00:33:44.000 But the belief of willing to fight for my fellow man started with you.

00:33:47.000 That's really amazing.

00:33:48.000 That's amazing.

00:33:49.000 I'd love to send you a signed hat or book and meet you one day.

00:33:52.000 And God bless you.

00:33:53.000 Thank you for wanting to serve our country.

00:33:55.000 You are in much better hands now serving under President Trump and Pete Hegseth and the entire team there.

00:34:00.000 And recruitment is going through the roof.

00:34:02.000 It's going through the roof.

00:34:03.000 Charlie, can you please wish my mom a happy birthday?

00:34:05.000 Her name is Valerie.

00:34:06.000 She's watching now.

00:34:07.000 Scooty.

00:34:08.000 Happy birthday, Valerie.

00:34:10.000 God bless you.

00:34:11.000 And today is the 4th of March, so God bless you.

00:34:15.000 This is Ann Coleman.

00:34:17.000 Ooh, this is a good one.

00:34:18.000 Thank you, Charlie and team.

00:34:20.000 When can we see the podcast with Newscom?

00:34:23.000 It's supposed to post Thursday morning on his channels, right?

00:34:26.000 Yep.

00:34:27.000 Now, did I do good or not so good, Andrew?

00:34:30.000 Ten out of ten.

00:34:30.000 I think that's great.

00:34:31.000 I think people are going to enjoy it.

00:34:32.000 All right.

00:34:33.000 That's it?

00:34:34.000 So good?

00:34:35.000 So everyone should watch it.

00:34:36.000 It was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had being in the room with you while you did an interview.

00:34:42.000 It was completely electric.

00:34:45.000 That's saying a lot because Andrew has spent a lot of hours watching the interview.

00:34:50.000 That's it.

00:34:51.000 People got to watch it.

00:34:52.000 No more spoilers.

00:34:54.000 Subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast to hear instant analysis.

00:34:57.000 Little preview.

00:34:58.000 On Thursday morning on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:35:00.000 Don't say any content though.

00:35:02.000 We're going to review for the full hour of the first hour on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:35:07.000 So 12 Eastern.

00:35:09.000 12 Eastern, so 9 a.m.

00:35:11.000 Pacific.

00:35:12.000 We're going to be breaking down the Charlie Kirk interview with Gavin Newsom.

00:35:16.000 Exclusively on our program, so it'll be done simultaneously.

00:35:18.000 We're not going to tease any of the content that comes earlier, and it's going to be really interesting.

00:35:25.000 I want to say a must-watch.

00:35:28.000 Mike says, just order the hat and shirt.

00:35:30.000 Keep it up, guys.

00:35:31.000 You are making America great again.

00:35:32.000 President Trump is doing that, and we are helping.

00:35:34.000 You guys can check it out.

00:35:35.000 Charlie Kirk's door.

00:35:36.000 As a reminder, also, download the Real America's Voice app to watch all these programs on demand in real time.

00:35:42.000 Let's watch some more.

00:35:43.000 Let's recap more of this here together.

00:35:45.000 I love this right here.

00:35:47.000 President Trump informs Jason Hartley.

00:35:49.000 Whoever gave the president this advice, I think I know who it was.

00:35:53.000 Probably Susie or Taylor or the great team over there.

00:35:55.000 To kind of do the Oprah Winfrey thing.

00:35:58.000 And you get a car.

00:36:00.000 Very smart, right?

00:36:01.000 And you go to West Point.

00:36:03.000 And I'm pardoning you when you're doing this.

00:36:05.000 Boom.

00:36:06.000 Very smart.

00:36:06.000 And the executive order.

00:36:07.000 Oh, it was amazing.

00:36:09.000 Again, it was a reality show.

00:36:11.000 It was like, what news?

00:36:12.000 What is he going to do next?

00:36:13.000 By the way, did I not predict the West Point thing?

00:36:16.000 Yeah, but I don't know.

00:36:17.000 You might have got some early advance notice.

00:36:20.000 I have no sources.

00:36:21.000 By the way, Charlie can't even talk about half the stuff.

00:36:24.000 So whatever.

00:36:25.000 133. We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call of duty.

00:36:34.000 Jason's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all wore the uniform.

00:36:39.000 Jason tragically lost his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy when he was just a boy, and now he wants to carry on the family legacy of service.

00:36:51.000 Jason is a senior in high school.

00:36:54.000 A six-letter varsity athlete, a really good athlete, they say.

00:36:57.000 A brilliant student with a 4.46, that's good, GPA. And his greatest dream is to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

00:37:09.000 I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted.

00:37:14.000 You will soon be joining the court.

00:37:20.000 Don't you love that?

00:37:22.000 It's just great.

00:37:23.000 I don't know how you can hate on that.

00:37:25.000 If you're a Democrat and you didn't get up, I mean, I didn't see the crowd shot in that moment, but if you're a Democrat and you didn't get up, I mean, how do you not celebrate that?

00:37:33.000 It's America's preeminent military academy, and this young man just had his dreams come true.

00:37:39.000 What are you going to hate on?

00:37:40.000 Because he's white? 0.64

00:37:41.000 And you can tell he was legitimately surprised.

00:37:44.000 The best part about that interaction, he did not see that coming at all, and he was like, oh my gosh, because he's young.

00:37:52.000 Kids can't fake it most of the time.

00:37:54.000 He was totally shocked.

00:37:55.000 And by the way, you saw that with the young cancer survivor, DJ. When they told him he got to be an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service, and he gets a hug from the Secret Service director, and his dad's lifting him up.

00:38:06.000 I mean, truly, truly touching stuff.

00:38:09.000 Excuse me, just to be clear, Trump never actually said the word honorary.

00:38:15.000 So, I mean, I think DJ's on the job.

00:38:18.000 That's an upgrade from what we've had.

00:38:21.000 That's commitment.

00:38:22.000 I was crying for...

00:38:24.000 I mean, I'm telling you, Charlie knows this.

00:38:28.000 I think you guys might know this.

00:38:29.000 My family was impacted by illegal immigration at one point.

00:38:31.000 Big time.

00:38:33.000 Violent crime.

00:38:34.000 I was in absolute tears.

00:38:37.000 Over the 12-year-old girl who got murdered.

00:38:40.000 I don't want to mess up her name.

00:38:43.000 Jocelyn Nungary.

00:38:45.000 Terrible.

00:38:46.000 Nungary Nungary. 0.57

00:38:48.000 You saw the mom holding it together.

00:38:51.000 I don't know if we have this clip, but the mom keeping it composed through that.

00:38:56.000 I was choked up.

00:38:58.000 I was tearing up.

00:39:00.000 It was back to back to back with all this stuff that made it so special.

00:39:07.000 Like Charlie said, it wasn't just that you get a car, you get a thing named after you, but there was the emotional side that was attached to each of these people, and it was incredible.

00:39:18.000 Someone says, Charlie, for someone like myself that's dealt with severe brain injury when I was younger, I know how it feels to be attacked like that, but in this case, cancer, but I do forgive them.

00:39:25.000 That's $10 from Derek.

00:39:26.000 Got it.

00:39:27.000 Let's see.

00:39:27.000 $50 one.

00:39:28.000 Charlie, I stood up for my insanely liberal professors today.

00:39:31.000 I stood up to my insanely liberal professors today.

00:39:34.000 You helped me gain confidence in standing up for what I believe.

00:39:37.000 Thank you so much.

00:39:38.000 Let's go MAGA. That is Rebecca. 1.00

00:39:40.000 Give Rebecca a free membership to the Charlie Kirk Show and get her a hat. 1.00

00:39:45.000 And that is members.charliekirk.com.

00:39:48.000 Members.charliekirk.com.

00:39:51.000 Make sure that she gets taken.

00:39:54.000 We've got another one here.

00:39:54.000 Hold on.

00:39:55.000 Rebecca, email freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:39:59.000 Yeah.

00:40:00.000 Daisy will get you sorted. 0.68

00:40:01.000 And we've got Braxton Jackson gave $10.

00:40:04.000 Let's keep giving thanks to God during this space of grace.

00:40:07.000 God will continue to lift up America if we stay humble.

00:40:11.000 I want to play one of the funnier lines, but we're also doing a giveaway.

00:40:14.000 Don't worry, Daisy.

00:40:16.000 He's just easing coming up.

00:40:17.000 I'm going to give away 10 of these hats.

00:40:19.000 Just 10. But what you guys have to do is just subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.

00:40:24.000 By the way, you should do it anyway because the exclusive Gavin Newsom debate discussion analysis will be there and all of our episodes are.

00:40:31.000 So subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast and email us proof of subscription, freedom at charliekirk.com and 10 of you will be chosen for free hats.

00:40:42.000 So subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast and then email us proof of subscription, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:40:49.000 One of the more memorable moments and funny moments is 125. Over 130,000 people, according to the social security databases, are age over 160 years old.

00:41:08.000 We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby.

00:41:15.000 I think that was off the cuff, right?

00:41:17.000 Probably, yeah.

00:41:18.000 That sounds like an original.

00:41:19.000 In Bobby's face after that, when he went to him, he was like, oh, the cameras are on me.

00:41:25.000 By the way, I love Bobby.

00:41:28.000 No one can make me hate Bobby.

00:41:30.000 Bobby's got this almost like an aura about...

00:41:33.000 What's up, Jack?

00:41:35.000 Do you guys see the Chinese government just now?

00:41:40.000 What did they do?

00:41:41.000 Yeah, they talk.

00:41:45.000 I wouldn't derail this too much.

00:41:48.000 This is a bit more...

00:41:49.000 I wouldn't derail it, but no, I think we have to call it out when there's responses like this.

00:41:54.000 What is it?

00:41:56.000 People's Republic of China is usually a bit more restrained in their responses.

00:42:01.000 The Chinese embassy in the U.S. tweeted out just as the speech was ending.

00:42:06.000 If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any type of war, we're ready to fight till the end.

00:42:15.000 That's the Chinese embassy in the United States on X with their great jackup. 1.00

00:42:21.000 Wow.

00:42:22.000 That's a great way to get more tariffs with Trump.

00:42:25.000 Good luck.

00:42:26.000 We hold the cards.

00:42:28.000 Okay, so let's go here to...

00:42:30.000 Let's go to Derek.

00:42:31.000 Ten bucks.

00:42:32.000 Charlie, for somebody like myself that has dealt with...

00:42:34.000 I'm sorry, we already did that one.

00:42:35.000 Let's go to another piece of tape here.

00:42:38.000 Let's go to some reaction, actually, from the opposition.

00:42:43.000 Here is Comrade Sanders responding to President Trump.

00:42:48.000 Playcut 146. Nobody, nobody who was 150 years old or 200 years old or 300 years old is receiving...

00:42:58.000 Social Security Chuck.

00:43:00.000 Is that an SNL? First of all, why does it look like he's in a PBS studio?

00:43:06.000 Why does it look like he's 130 years old?

00:43:08.000 I know, exactly.

00:43:08.000 For a second, I thought that was one of our guys doing Bernie Sanders.

00:43:11.000 I thought it was a chick. 0.97

00:43:13.000 No, that's Bernie.

00:43:15.000 I will say Bernie has impressive stamina, I have to say.

00:43:19.000 How old is he now?

00:43:20.000 Like 84, 85?

00:43:21.000 I mean, the octogenarian thing is really kind of hurting our politics.

00:43:25.000 Come on, guys.

00:43:25.000 You've got to just go be with your grandkids.

00:43:27.000 Be a normal person.

00:43:28.000 83. Is he really?

00:43:30.000 1941. He's so old.

00:43:32.000 So he turns 84 in September.

00:43:35.000 He looks older than that, too.

00:43:36.000 I mean, he's looking good for 83 or 84, but still.

00:43:41.000 I mean, I completely agree.

00:43:43.000 Joe Biden's 82. He's one year behind him.

00:43:45.000 Nancy Pelosi's 84. A lot of old octogenarians.

00:43:50.000 They're going to lose a lot of people very quickly here.

00:43:52.000 Walt Budd says, I've been a member of Charlie Kirk members.

00:43:56.000 I love it.

00:43:56.000 More.

00:43:57.000 More people should get it.

00:43:59.000 That's right.

00:43:59.000 So members.charliekirk.com.

00:44:01.000 That is members.charliekirk.com.

00:44:03.000 More clips.

00:44:04.000 Okay, we're going to get talking about it.

00:44:06.000 Let's do some more clips.

00:44:06.000 All right, we'll do more clips here.

00:44:08.000 Let's go to Cut 127. By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we can find, we will defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates, lower car payments, and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and put more money in the pockets of American families.

00:44:24.000 And in the...

00:44:25.000 Near future, I want to do what has not been done in 24 years.

00:44:31.000 Balance the federal budget.

00:44:32.000 We're going to balance that.

00:44:33.000 I just love that we're talking about balancing the budget again.

00:44:42.000 As a goal, you might think it's improbable, Blake.

00:44:45.000 It's a good aspiration.

00:44:46.000 I will always say what is spoken will then be more likely to be done.

00:44:50.000 Why can't they do it, Blake?

00:44:53.000 Come on.

00:44:54.000 There's a lot of reasons.

00:44:55.000 Blake, they can do it.

00:44:56.000 Blake, believe.

00:44:58.000 Believe, Blake.

00:44:59.000 Don't let your memes be dreams, I guess.

00:45:02.000 Believe, Blake.

00:45:04.000 If we do it, I will be the first one to line up and be like, man, that guy did the impossible.

00:45:13.000 What will you do?

00:45:14.000 You should do something.

00:45:16.000 If Donald Trump successfully balances the budget, let's not get too dramatic here.

00:45:22.000 If Donald Trump successfully balances the budget, I will wear a Minnesota Vikings jersey.

00:45:29.000 On this show, and I will pledge my fealty.

00:45:32.000 That doesn't mean anything for me.

00:45:33.000 This has got to be more real.

00:45:35.000 Fine, I'll wear a Chicago Bears jersey.

00:45:37.000 Alright, now we're getting closer.

00:45:38.000 I will wear a Chicago Bears jersey of your choice at this desk, and I will say that Mike Ditka is my daddy.

00:45:47.000 If we balance the budget, I'll do that.

00:45:50.000 I think you need to write an op-ed that's titled, I was wrong about Trump.

00:45:58.000 I think Charlie would get more out of the first one.

00:46:03.000 I think that Blake...

00:46:04.000 Blake going into the camera with a Bears jersey.

00:46:06.000 No, it's got to be the Bears sweater.

00:46:09.000 I've got it.

00:46:10.000 Is that not the greatest memorabilia ever?

00:46:13.000 I have it.

00:46:13.000 It's in my closet.

00:46:14.000 I don't have one.

00:46:14.000 I lost mine.

00:46:16.000 During NFL season, I should just wear it one day on the show, right?

00:46:19.000 Yeah, you need to get it.

00:46:20.000 We'll get it for you as a present.

00:46:21.000 But the Bears are so bad, it's like a humiliation ritual.

00:46:25.000 Oh, I know.

00:46:27.000 Bears haven't been good in like 20 years.

00:46:29.000 Blake should have to wear a really thick Mike Dickham mustache for a full week.

00:46:33.000 For a full week.

00:46:34.000 No, no, no.

00:46:35.000 A fake one.

00:46:36.000 He's never going to grow it.

00:46:38.000 I could grow a mustache.

00:46:39.000 No, we need a full...

00:46:41.000 Broom sweet, like a full walk of shame.

00:46:44.000 I just love this email.

00:46:45.000 By the way, I want you guys to email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:46:47.000 Also, your reaction in addition, just to everything else, subscribing to our podcast.

00:46:51.000 I love this email.

00:46:52.000 Charlie, in three weeks I'll be 70 years old, so preemptive happy birthday.

00:46:55.000 I've never been prouder to be an American, more grateful to God for his answer to prayer on November 5th.

00:47:00.000 I'm also so grateful to God he saved me and kept me from becoming a hateful socialist.

00:47:05.000 Thank you and your entire staff, Charlie, your devotion to God, and the truth was beyond anything we could have.

00:47:10.000 I've imagined.

00:47:11.000 God is good all the time.

00:47:12.000 What a beautiful email.

00:47:13.000 I mean, people are just effusively grateful in the emails that we are receiving right now.

00:47:20.000 And I do have to wonder that when the Democrats won back at this time equivalent in 2021, do you think their emails were full of like thank yous to God?

00:47:30.000 I don't think so, right?

00:47:31.000 Probably not to God.

00:47:32.000 It was probably like, I wonder what that Trump man is doing right now.

00:47:35.000 I'm so grateful to the crystals in my...

00:47:38.000 The image that will always stick with me is Steven Pinker, the Harvard professor, doing the extremely cringe dance on Twitter with his wife.

00:47:46.000 That's the one I'll always remember.

00:47:48.000 There was a bunch of those during the campaign where they would get together and try and be the party of joy, but it was so forced.

00:47:56.000 Brandon says, because he gave five bucks, Bernie says no one is 100 years old.

00:48:00.000 Me, Bernie, your yearbook is signed by Adam and Eve.

00:48:04.000 Okay.

00:48:05.000 And we got Val1224, Charlie.

00:48:08.000 Trump's body language tonight was outstanding.

00:48:14.000 145. I just walked out of Trump's joint address to Congress.

00:48:21.000 I went there because I was insistent that I wanted to hear directly from him what he had to say.

00:48:26.000 But after hearing him spew lie after lie after lie, racism and xenophobia at the center of everything, I walked out.

00:48:34.000 And I'm going to insist that we stand up for our constituents, for the American people across this country, and fight back so that we can make sure we're delivering for working people everywhere.

00:48:46.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:48:47.000 I've been corrected.

00:48:48.000 It's Jayapal.

00:48:49.000 Yes.

00:48:50.000 Yes.

00:48:52.000 Isn't she the leader of the progressive caucus within the Democrats?

00:48:56.000 Something like that.

00:48:57.000 Rachel Maddow, Big Mad, Plague Cut 144. For the record, the economy that he was left by President Biden was not a catastrophe.

00:49:06.000 It was literally the best economy in the world and was described by The Economist magazine as the envy of the world.

00:49:14.000 That was the economy that was left to Donald Trump by Joe Biden.

00:49:19.000 It says the multimillionaire who gets $20 million a year to work one day a week.

00:49:24.000 Spare me, Rachel Maddow.

00:49:25.000 Everything's just fine for you.

00:49:27.000 You know, this is one of the most telling moments, Charlie, when you're on campus, by the way.

00:49:32.000 There will always be one smug little, you know, econ student that goes, ah, the economy is the best of the G7, blah, blah, blah.

00:49:40.000 And then you look at the audience and you go, how many of you are struggling to afford your bills?

00:49:44.000 How many of you had more money four years ago?

00:49:46.000 And it's like every single hand goes up.

00:49:48.000 Every single time that you appeal to the audience, everybody's like, yeah, I'm not doing that well.

00:49:54.000 So the best economy, the envy of the world, was terrible for everybody else.

00:49:59.000 Okay, Rachel Maddow?

00:50:01.000 So enjoy that.

00:50:03.000 Here we have...

00:50:05.000 I think I've hit my quota of sharp comments.

00:50:08.000 Playcut 147. All right, y'all, I don't have a lot of time.

00:50:14.000 I just came off the House floor.

00:50:15.000 I could not stand one more second, tolerate one more second.

00:50:19.000 This man who pardoned January 6th insurrectionists, who desecrated the very chamber that we are sitting in in this moment, this man who has no respect for Congress, does not respect us as a co-equal branch of government, who is...

00:50:35.000 Put us into a constitutional crisis.

00:50:38.000 This man, with his hateful rhetoric and his even more harmful policies, I went because I wanted to honor my State of the Union or my Joint Address of Congress guest, Claire from Everett, a probationary federal worker who was damn good at her job at housing and urban development, enforcing fair housing laws.

00:50:57.000 She was fired.

00:50:59.000 She didn't deserve that.

00:51:02.000 The work that she did remains unfinished.

00:51:05.000 There are people that will be unhoused because that work is unfinished.

00:51:10.000 There's housing that will not get built because that work is unfinished and her life has been completely upended and disrupted.

00:51:17.000 And because Claire is also a manual wheelchair user and navigated a lot of ableist spaces to come here today, I wanted to take a seat and take up space and honor her.

00:51:29.000 But there is no way that I could stay there.

00:51:32.000 For this address, it is insult to injury, the lies, and the propaganda.

00:51:39.000 Did she just say something about ableist spaces there?

00:51:42.000 I heard some sort of high-frequency noise.

00:51:45.000 It was shrill indeed.

00:51:48.000 We continue as our march through the cut sheet.

00:51:51.000 This is making all the news.

00:51:53.000 The media is very mad about it.

00:51:54.000 President Trump going after Elizabeth Warren, who, by the way, has become a huge neocon.

00:51:59.000 Can we just appreciate how Elizabeth Warren... 0.75

00:52:01.000 Has become just a shrill neocon.

00:52:03.000 She's full Liz Cheney now.

00:52:05.000 Like full Liz Cheney. 0.96

00:52:06.000 Just like full war machine.

00:52:08.000 She's wearing the Ukrainian pen. 0.95

00:52:10.000 Oh, we got more 47 hats.

00:52:11.000 She's doing the war dance.

00:52:12.000 We're going to put them on.

00:52:13.000 But she's doing the war dance. 1.00

00:52:17.000 She's doing the war dance.

00:52:18.000 Let's play cut 135 of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security.

00:52:27.000 Do you want to keep it going for another five years?

00:52:46.000 Yeah, you would say Pocahontas says yes.

00:52:49.000 That felt really up.

00:52:51.000 That was great.

00:52:54.000 But you didn't mean to.

00:52:55.000 You just had to.

00:52:57.000 And it goes to her and she's just like...

00:53:03.000 I mean, so who wants to take this, just from a more philosophical and less lighthearted, but...

00:53:10.000 Just briefly, what is driving someone like Elizabeth Warren, who obviously had or might still have some presidential ambitions, who never used to be a neocon, to just go all in? 0.98

00:53:21.000 How do you explain this?

00:53:23.000 Tyler, politically.

00:53:24.000 I'll just say from a political, sociological standpoint, I dwell on this every day.

00:53:30.000 And actually, just this weekend, I had somebody that's related to me reach out to me and...

00:53:35.000 You know, and some drunken stupor messaged me and say something about Trump and relevant to the anti-war sentiment of what happened in the White House this last week.

00:53:46.000 And I said, I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm very proud to be anti-war.

00:53:50.000 And I think it's bizarre that every single Democrat who attacked feverishly for basically 15 years the Republican Party for being so pro-war.

00:54:01.000 Are now in full alignment.

00:54:03.000 And Charlie, I cannot understand it for the life of me that the most progressive, lunatic Democrats are basically Liz Cheney now.

00:54:14.000 But think about this.

00:54:15.000 They have spent the last essentially eight years turning Putin into the devil incarnate.

00:54:22.000 And so this being tied to Putin, they have made this...

00:54:27.000 This boogeyman, and I'm not saying Putin isn't a bad dude. 0.96

00:54:31.000 Like, okay, ad nauseum, I get it.

00:54:33.000 Terrible guy, invaded, he takes blame for that.

00:54:36.000 But, like, they have turned him in to something larger and bigger because it's useful to their narrative.

00:54:42.000 So they think anybody that doesn't just blindly stand with, like, the oligarch, you know, the Ukrainian oligarch, is somehow...

00:54:51.000 You know, perpetrating a mass injustice on the world.

00:54:54.000 It's because they have created this dichotomy, this black hat, white hat thing in their head, just to get back at Trump, though.

00:55:00.000 But here's the crazy part, Andrew.

00:55:03.000 George W. Bush was best buddies with Putin.

00:55:07.000 Totally.

00:55:07.000 Remember when Hillary Clinton went with the reset button?

00:55:11.000 No, it's not even that.

00:55:12.000 George W. Bush would hang out on his ranch with Putin.

00:55:16.000 George W. Bush would go over.

00:55:18.000 They brought...

00:55:19.000 No, George W. Bush brought Putin to the elementary school in his hometown in Crawford.

00:55:24.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:55:25.000 And they did a whole, welcome Putin.

00:55:28.000 Yeah.

00:55:28.000 So this is what's so mind-blowing, which I cannot understand.

00:55:31.000 Tyler, you had the pickup truck.

00:55:32.000 Remember the pickup truck?

00:55:33.000 Yes!

00:55:33.000 And Putin was just sitting there next to him.

00:55:36.000 He was driving around.

00:55:38.000 It was a buddy comedy.

00:55:40.000 I want to go get a corn dog or something.

00:55:41.000 Remember, he sat with Clinton, too, and said, hey, Clinton, I want to join NATO. And Clinton was like, yeah, we can probably do that.

00:55:48.000 Here's the mind-blowing part, though.

00:55:49.000 The same people who were in that policy camp of being best buddies with Putin...

00:55:55.000 Which was the Dick Cheney-era foreign policy experts here, are the same people who have done exactly what you said, which is villainized Putin and blamed Trump for it, when they were the ones who were closer than anyone ever was.

00:56:10.000 And I studied.

00:56:10.000 This is what I studied.

00:56:11.000 Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton made what Bill Clinton...

00:56:15.000 Jack, you probably remember this.

00:56:16.000 It's like a $500,000...

00:56:17.000 Payment for speaking in Russia?

00:56:19.000 Nothing's closer to, I'm telling you, George W. Bush.

00:56:22.000 Look at the payments.

00:56:23.000 The Clinton Foundation got money for doing one, et cetera, et cetera.

00:56:27.000 You know, Tyler, I was going to say, though, but this actually is typical of the neocon because the neocons all supported Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran.

00:56:39.000 It was the neocons that totally supported the Mujahideen against the Soviet Union and completely funded.

00:56:47.000 And founded what later became the Taliban, as well as the early elements of Al Qaeda, the same elements of Al Qaeda that the neocons and neolibs also to this day are supporting in Syria.

00:56:58.000 So if you look at it from a different perspective, it also goes to show you that they will use and drop foreign actors at a whim.

00:57:09.000 And that's because of this post-1990s mentality that it's the end of history, the United States is the global hegemon.

00:57:16.000 We can do whatever we want.

00:57:18.000 We don't need to actually uphold any relationships, which is funny because those are all the things that they blame Trump for because he'll make an offhanded comment or something or JD Vance will make a comment about the British and will say that he's destroyed relations.

00:57:30.000 When no, it's actually been their failed leadership over the past 40 years that has put us in this position to begin with.

00:57:38.000 And their insanity of, as you say, either you're working with someone one day and then you're vilifying them the next.

00:57:45.000 And then we expect them to think that we are rational actors when we seem the ones who are kind of like the drunken sailors, which I can say because I'm a sailor.

00:57:53.000 Although I don't drink.

00:57:56.000 Like when we're the ones who are acting completely belligerently and we are the ones who are acting irrationally all the time.

00:58:04.000 Yeah, I mean, I actually, just one note, I have a slightly different theory.

00:58:07.000 Democrats and progressives, what do they lift up more than anything else?

00:58:11.000 Institutions.

00:58:12.000 Well, there's institutions, but the institutions that were formed out of the civil rights era.

00:58:16.000 So they look at their ultimate heroes as the people that marched, the people that sat on the bus, you know, all of these things, the peaceful protests, and they were going against something that they believe was objectively evil and bad and everything, right?

00:58:30.000 And in many ways, that's accurate.

00:58:32.000 So what they are doing, progressives of the modern era, they have a sense that they have to find a boogeyman even where one doesn't exist.

00:58:41.000 So their highest and best use of their time, they think, is finding an oppressor to march against.

00:58:49.000 Putin is the oppressor.

00:58:50.000 Trump is the oppressor.

00:58:52.000 These are poorly directed energies for them, but they have to find something to march against because they want to live up to their civil rights predecessors that they find to be the great heroes of American lore and history.

00:59:05.000 It's always 1968. Even though there's no boogeyman anymore.

00:59:10.000 The racism that they think they're fighting, they've come to embody.

00:59:14.000 So my whole theory with them is that they need a boogeyman.

00:59:16.000 They've been in power, like every institution.

00:59:18.000 They need a scapegoat.

00:59:19.000 In order to make themselves feel good.

00:59:21.000 I think with Putin, what happened was when he was hanging out in the truck in Crawford, Texas, Bush was like, what's on your agenda?

00:59:30.000 He's like, I'd like to at least have some Crimea. 0.88

00:59:35.000 And then they were like, great.

00:59:36.000 And so Bush went to McCain and was like, hey, I found out what they want.

00:59:41.000 And then they were like...

00:59:42.000 Let's do this.

00:59:43.000 Let's start a whole color revolution, and then we can get both sides of it.

00:59:47.000 What do you say, guys?

00:59:48.000 And that's the entire American history and foreign policy in Eastern Europe in the last 15 years.

00:59:54.000 That's one take.

00:59:55.000 Certainly one take.

00:59:56.000 Oh, we got another comment here.

00:59:56.000 We got a great one.

00:59:57.000 Another one you'll want to read, Charlie, here?

01:00:00.000 Let me see here.

01:00:01.000 This is...

01:00:02.000 Wow.

01:00:04.000 Jeremy says, you inspired me to join the Border Patrol.

01:00:07.000 I'm prior service military.

01:00:09.000 Thank you.

01:00:09.000 I'm 23, and you're motivated my generation to go from the silent majority to be very loud about our family and Christian values.

01:00:16.000 Thank you, Charlie.

01:00:17.000 That is Jeremy.

01:00:18.000 Jeremy would love to send you a signed hat.

01:00:19.000 We need more patriots in the Border Patrol.

01:00:21.000 That is admirable service, if not on the same moral footing as the U.S. military.

01:00:26.000 Might I add.

01:00:27.000 Border Patrol is right there.

01:00:28.000 When we say serving your country, Border Patrol almost should be a portion of the U.S. military.

01:00:33.000 By the way, I didn't realize this.

01:00:34.000 They have this elite unit that's almost like the special forces of Border Patrol.

01:00:38.000 I forget what it's called, Jack.

01:00:40.000 Maybe you know.

01:00:40.000 Or Jack.

01:00:41.000 What is it called?

01:00:43.000 Bortak.

01:00:44.000 Bortak.

01:00:44.000 Yeah, it's amazing, by the way.

01:00:46.000 They're super legit.

01:00:47.000 Those guys are hardcore.

01:00:49.000 By the way, every single one of them voted for Trump.

01:00:51.000 I don't think a single one.

01:00:53.000 And they all live in Arizona.

01:00:55.000 This one here.

01:00:56.000 Yeah, I love this one.

01:00:57.000 It's like $2.37.

01:01:00.000 Jordan Benoit.

01:01:01.000 I think I know him, actually.

01:01:03.000 Maybe I don't.

01:01:04.000 As a proud Canadian, I can't even be mad.

01:01:06.000 Our government is a disgrace.

01:01:07.000 Trump is looking after his country.

01:01:08.000 I only wish we had a strong, capable leader to do the same.

01:01:11.000 Fair enough.

01:01:14.000 Despite the stuff, we want the best for Canada.

01:01:17.000 No, of course we do.

01:01:18.000 I think you just had a great idea.

01:01:20.000 I think we should have another branch of the military.

01:01:22.000 It should be Border Patrol.

01:01:23.000 I think you should roll Border Patrol into DOD. It would fix a lot of problems.

01:01:27.000 Oh, yeah.

01:01:28.000 It would be run differently, better funding.

01:01:31.000 By the way, it would end all the funding.

01:01:33.000 Could you just do that unilaterally?

01:01:34.000 Yeah, he should.

01:01:35.000 He did Space Force.

01:01:37.000 Space Force took Congress.

01:01:39.000 Oh, did it?

01:01:39.000 Yeah.

01:01:40.000 He announced it and then Congress agreed.

01:01:41.000 Can we play a clip here, Charlie?

01:01:44.000 I don't want to take the floor away from you, but it's this clip of Brit Hume.

01:01:49.000 And the reason I think this is interesting is that Brit Hume has literally come after people, I won't say who, on this show.

01:01:57.000 He's kind of a hit-and-miss kind of guy.

01:01:59.000 This is him basically singing the praises of Donald J. Trump, and I believe it is 148. This was the most boisterous, the longest, the most partisan speech I've ever heard a president give in this kind of setting, and I go back about maybe 50 years on this.

01:02:18.000 I also think it may have been the most effective.

01:02:20.000 I mean, if you ever doubted that Donald Trump is the colossus, the political colossus of our time and our nation, this night and this speech should have put that to rest.

01:02:30.000 The Democrats seem to be falling into trap after trap after trap as he recognized these people and celebrated the people he pointed to in the gallery and their stories while the Democrats sat glumly on their hands through all of that.

01:02:46.000 It was a terrible look.

01:02:47.000 Al Green's attempt to disrupt the speech was a bad look for the Democrats.

01:02:51.000 This was, I think, politically speaking, this was pretty powerful.

01:02:58.000 All the moderate Democrats would be so mad at Al Green.

01:03:01.000 He couldn't be more right.

01:03:03.000 It's like an episode of Looney Tunes right now.

01:03:05.000 And it's just, it's like literally Coyote and Roadrunner stuff.

01:03:10.000 Yeah.

01:03:10.000 And the president is always the brilliant Roadrunner.

01:03:16.000 Yeah, well, I just love that line, though.

01:03:18.000 The colossus of our time.

01:03:20.000 I mean, he really is.

01:03:22.000 I mean, and I go back to the tariffs.

01:03:26.000 We've debated tariffs.

01:03:27.000 We've debated the Ukraine strategy.

01:03:32.000 I just think he's going to end up on the winning side of both of these issues.

01:03:36.000 It doesn't mean it's not going to be ugly in the short term, but I think he's going to come out on top, and America's going to come out on top as a result.

01:03:43.000 The colossus of our time is a line that really sticks out.

01:03:49.000 Okay, let's go to another piece of tape here.

01:03:52.000 Let's get to more Democrat reaction.

01:03:55.000 We had Ayanna Pressley.

01:03:57.000 We had Bernie Sanders.

01:03:58.000 We had Rachel Maddow.

01:04:00.000 Let's go to Jake Tapper, Playcut 139. Never heard a president attack the opposition in a speech like this in such a pointed way, even going after to use a rather derisive nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren.

01:04:16.000 A derisive.

01:04:18.000 Such a derisive, Mr. Fake Tapper, who was part of the cover-up of his senility, and then he comes out and says, Inside the cover-up of Joe Biden's senility.

01:04:31.000 Talk about just absolute brazen BS from a political commentator.

01:04:38.000 And he is a political commentator.

01:04:40.000 He's not a journalist.

01:04:41.000 This guy's a partisan political commentator.

01:04:43.000 And to know that that tape exists of you and to still have the...

01:04:47.000 The gall to go out and write that book?

01:04:50.000 Anyways.

01:04:50.000 $100.

01:04:51.000 Someone says, Charlie, what do you think of Netanyahu?

01:04:55.000 I like some of the stuff he does.

01:04:55.000 I don't like other stuff.

01:04:57.000 I'm not a member of the Israeli nation, so I don't have that strong of opinions of it.

01:05:01.000 I actually got to know his son.

01:05:02.000 His son's pretty cool.

01:05:03.000 So I'm guessing he means Yair Netanyahu.

01:05:05.000 So by the way, I can answer the question however I want.

01:05:07.000 What do I think of Yair Netanyahu?

01:05:09.000 Awesome guy.

01:05:10.000 Because it doesn't say BB. He's a colorful guy.

01:05:12.000 So therefore, I answer the question, right?

01:05:15.000 We're not apologists here.

01:05:17.000 No, I'm just saying.

01:05:18.000 He said, Charlie, what do you think of Yair?

01:05:20.000 Yair's great.

01:05:21.000 I text with Yair all the time.

01:05:23.000 He's been to our headquarters.

01:05:24.000 Be more specific if you want BB or Yair.

01:05:27.000 He's got a pretty strong meme.

01:05:28.000 This one says, God bless the USA. Thank you for opening our eyes, Charlie.

01:05:31.000 I'm so proud to be the first one in our family to have not ruined my record by ever being a registered Democrat.

01:05:37.000 God bless America.

01:05:38.000 God bless the USA. Isn't it crazy that it just really feels like there's one party that's proud to be American, that loves the flag, loves the nation, defends our military, supports our troops, border patrol, you know, our sovereignty, and there's a whole other part of the country that apparently thinks these things are passive.

01:05:54.000 So Chris says, posse comitatus, if they roll border patrol in the DOD, they cannot, under posse comitatus, enforce civil law, but they can repel invasions.

01:06:05.000 So...

01:06:06.000 You declare an invasion, the DOD can fire on demand, do whatever you want.

01:06:10.000 The entire point of a national army is defending the nation.

01:06:15.000 Unless you're actually being invaded.

01:06:17.000 It's really simple.

01:06:19.000 You get these weird quasi-libertarian, I call them conservatarian arguments, from phrases that used to get said on talk radio in the 2010s or even earlier than that.

01:06:34.000 And it's like, guys, that's just not...

01:06:35.000 True.

01:06:37.000 Actual active duty army and marines were used in L.A. riots in 1992. I mean, we've used the military for things all the time.

01:06:47.000 So this idea that, oh, you can't do it, you can't do it, it's just not historically correct at all.

01:06:53.000 Let's go here to David Axelrod, who's probably trying to speak truth into the Democrat Party.

01:06:59.000 He'll be ignored.

01:07:00.000 Let's play to 150. So it's one thing to mine our differences.

01:07:05.000 It's another thing to try and heal our differences.

01:07:07.000 And that is, you know, that's the difference between real leadership and political expedience.

01:07:14.000 Would it have been healing to stand for Mark Fogle?

01:07:17.000 Might have been.

01:07:17.000 No, I agree.

01:07:18.000 You know, you are absolutely right.

01:07:21.000 I will do what you will not.

01:07:22.000 I will say, I thought Democrats, I thought that was just, I think there were times when they should have risen.

01:07:27.000 I think what Al Green did was despicable.

01:07:31.000 Despicable.

01:07:32.000 Despicable.

01:07:33.000 150, 151, this dialogue continues.

01:07:36.000 And at some point, you've got to stop blaming Joe Biden, and you're going to be accountable.

01:07:40.000 And, you know, he must have met Biden a dozen times in his speech.

01:07:46.000 I mean, the ex.

01:07:47.000 I love you.

01:07:48.000 You guys were blaming George W. Bush in year eight.

01:07:52.000 You know, Scott, we learned something from that.

01:07:54.000 We learned something from that.

01:07:56.000 He's been in office for 40-something days.

01:07:57.000 I am hearing a lot of COPE. These social issues, you know why he talks about them?

01:08:01.000 He's good.

01:08:02.000 Because they work.

01:08:03.000 They're like 80-20 issues, and he's on the right side of them, and Democrats are on the wrong side of them.

01:08:08.000 It worked in the campaign, and nobody, oh, he's not talking about the right things.

01:08:12.000 It worked in the inaugural.

01:08:13.000 It's working in the executive orders.

01:08:15.000 It's why he put it in the speech tonight.

01:08:16.000 And on immigration, you're exactly right.

01:08:18.000 It's his number one achievement so far.

01:08:20.000 The border's effectively closed.

01:08:21.000 The line of the night was they kept saying we need new legislation to secure the border, but it turns out all we really needed was a new president, without question, in my mind, top-scoring model.

01:08:32.000 He's got to stay put.

01:08:33.000 We are here at midnight 7 Eastern, so we're getting a little bit late.

01:08:38.000 Tyler, you have 30 seconds.

01:08:40.000 What is this poster behind me?

01:08:42.000 Show it again.

01:08:43.000 That says, travel to Wisconsin and chase 100 ballots.

01:08:47.000 What is that?

01:08:48.000 Charlie, the Turning Point Action team is on the ground.

01:08:51.000 We have dozens and dozens and dozens of full-time staff that we've kept there.

01:08:55.000 We have the largest field presidents, the permanent field presidents.

01:08:58.000 We have an office in Waukesha, which is the epicenter for the Supreme Court races coming up.

01:09:04.000 Why does that matter?

01:09:05.000 What does that matter to a person from Tennessee?

01:09:09.000 Tell us why.

01:09:09.000 The Supreme Court hangs in the balance of Wisconsin, and if the Democrats take control of it, it's a partisan election.

01:09:16.000 Democrats take control.

01:09:17.000 They can do one major thing.

01:09:19.000 They can redistrict and cost us the House.

01:09:21.000 They can also make it impossible to win Wisconsin or really, really difficult to win Wisconsin if they get control of this.

01:09:30.000 So we need everybody to come out.

01:09:31.000 We've got hotel rooms that are available by the great gift from our donors.

01:09:38.000 Yep, a turning point action.

01:09:39.000 We're stepping up.

01:09:40.000 We're investing almost a million bucks, right?

01:09:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:09:44.000 I think a lot more than that when you consider all the full-time staff millions.

01:09:47.000 That's right.

01:09:48.000 Probably, yeah, a couple million bucks.

01:09:49.000 Which we don't have to do, by the way.

01:09:51.000 And we're bringing people in.

01:09:53.000 And so we need thousands of people.

01:09:55.000 Right now we are at, just broke, a thousand people coming in.

01:09:59.000 We need more than that.

01:10:00.000 The left is paying people to vote.

01:10:02.000 They're paying people to get out the vote.

01:10:04.000 So they're giving people $250 a pop.

01:10:07.000 We are providing hotel rooms.

01:10:08.000 Come.

01:10:09.000 If you're in the Chicagoland area, drive up.

01:10:11.000 It's a quick drive.

01:10:12.000 Come help out for a day.

01:10:14.000 You can go to tpaction.com slash 100 to sign up.

01:10:17.000 That's our Commit 100 program, which is just committing to chase just 100 votes.

01:10:22.000 So that means we give you a list of 100 people to chase, and then we just need you to go talk to them, remind them to vote, and then help them walk their ballot to their mailbox in some cases, or go vote early.

01:10:34.000 Love it.

01:10:35.000 Let's also check that out at tpaction.com slash 100. Let's go to a couple.

01:10:39.000 The line of the night, which I thought was beautifully crafted and wonderfully delivered.

01:10:45.000 Playcut 154. The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation.

01:10:54.000 We must have legislation to secure the border.

01:10:57.000 But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.

01:11:03.000 Good pass.

01:11:05.000 And I think that's so important because people like James Lankford and people like...

01:11:18.000 I'm not going to let him go for this one.

01:11:20.000 No, I'm telling you, he's done.

01:11:22.000 He is gone.

01:11:22.000 And all these Democrats that were like, you need this ridiculous...

01:11:26.000 Now, I want you to think about if we would have lived in James Lankford's world.

01:11:30.000 Because people might say I'm being unfair.

01:11:32.000 Let's see if he got his way.

01:11:33.000 Do you know that Trump would not be able to close the border right now?

01:11:36.000 1.8 million.

01:11:37.000 It would have handcuffed Trump's ability.

01:11:40.000 It would have robbed Trump's term of the ability to close the border.

01:11:44.000 That was James Lankford's bipartisan border.

01:11:48.000 But if we pass that, Charlie, the Democrats would not call us racist ever again.

01:11:51.000 No, exactly.

01:11:52.000 I just hope all of you guys in Oklahoma know, James Lankford, you're done.

01:11:55.000 We're not going to let you run for dog catcher, for water reclamation district, for mosquito abatement director, U.S. senator or governor.

01:12:02.000 Is that an office?

01:12:03.000 Oh, I'm sure there is.

01:12:05.000 Hey, it's Oklahoma, okay?

01:12:07.000 You got 50-50 Native American reservations.

01:12:09.000 I got all sorts of different jobs there.

01:12:11.000 You know half the state of Oklahoma is a Native American reservation?

01:12:13.000 Governor Stitt should become a senator.

01:12:14.000 He's phenomenal.

01:12:15.000 Governor Stitt should be the next senator.

01:12:16.000 He's great.

01:12:17.000 No, Lankford's done, and he's not up until 2028, but, well, I got my eyes right on you.

01:12:20.000 You're at the top of the list.

01:12:23.000 But the reason being is because he went out there and brokered this deal, and he gave the Democrats this talking point, saying, we have to do this bipartisan border deal.

01:12:32.000 And, by the way, it was never necessary, and I think we would have won by even more if it wasn't for Lankford.

01:12:37.000 That actually persuaded some people in the middle, gave them a chance of a talking point, gave them some over-the-top stuff.

01:12:42.000 The Democrats just kept saying it over and over again.

01:12:46.000 On campus, I would get that question a lot, and I was like, okay, Lankford, I remember you.

01:12:49.000 And none of it was necessary.

01:12:51.000 We didn't need a bipartisan border bill.

01:12:53.000 You needed a president.

01:12:55.000 Blake, I want you to just riff on this for a second.

01:12:57.000 We're running a little out of time here.

01:12:59.000 But how profoundly our border is closed is pretty amazing right now.

01:13:02.000 I mean, it's effectively sealed.

01:13:04.000 It really is that all you had to do was make it so if you show up at the border, you will not get in.

01:13:11.000 Magical solution.

01:13:12.000 If you show up and won't get in, they'll stop coming.

01:13:14.000 You don't need an app for that?

01:13:15.000 Like, people are just, they're so rock stupid.

01:13:18.000 They're just like, they'll show up and then they'll all die.

01:13:21.000 No, they won't show up if they won't get in.

01:13:23.000 That's how it works.

01:13:25.000 And that would apply to everything.

01:13:26.000 All those boats in the Mediterranean, they would stop if all you did was stop the boat, drop them off back in Libya where they started. 0.79

01:13:34.000 If you did that every time, no more boats in the Mediterranean.

01:13:37.000 You don't need an app?

01:13:38.000 You don't need an app.

01:13:39.000 You don't need a million programs.

01:13:42.000 Just remember all the nonsense in that James Langford bill.

01:13:46.000 It said that 4,999 people could cross a day.

01:13:50.000 That was literally in the bill.

01:13:51.000 Remember, the bill said...

01:13:53.000 We can actually just turn it off when it gets over 5,000.

01:13:55.000 That's right.

01:13:56.000 So we admit that we can just turn it off.

01:13:58.000 So 4,999.

01:13:59.000 It locked in the record high before Biden as the normal amount of people that just led into America.

01:14:05.000 The baseline was 4,999.

01:14:07.000 We negotiated.

01:14:08.000 We were doing some hard negotiations.

01:14:10.000 You are a worthless, gutless wonder.

01:14:12.000 This is why we got such bad deals, because our leaders took absolute garbage deals and said, This is somehow good.

01:14:20.000 We've done our job.

01:14:21.000 And Trump, to his great credit, is now demonstrating you didn't need any of that stuff.

01:14:24.000 The border's completely secure.

01:14:26.000 And not only is it one of his greatest accomplishments, and again, Dems on campus, they go stone-cold silent when I say that the border's completely sealed because they can't even process it.

01:14:35.000 Well, here's the numbers.

01:14:36.000 At its peak, we almost had 400,000 people come in a month.

01:14:42.000 Last month, we had just about 8,000, which was 277 per day.

01:14:48.000 We went from 15,000 a day at one point with Biden, and it fluctuated.

01:14:52.000 But let's say 15,000 at its peak to 277 a day, and none of them got in.

01:14:59.000 And I just want to reiterate, the Democrats wanted the open border.

01:15:07.000 You can't do that without...

01:15:09.000 It was an intentional invasion.

01:15:11.000 It was architected by the Democrats in order to change the political makeup of this country, the demographic makeup of this country, the cultural makeup of this country.

01:15:22.000 It was an absolute...

01:15:25.000 Designed disaster and a humanitarian catastrophe that could have been avoided.

01:15:29.000 Any other Super Chats we have to get to?

01:15:30.000 Not right now.

01:15:48.000 Ten winners are chosen.

01:15:50.000 And let's go around the horn one more time.

01:15:52.000 Final thoughts, Tyler.

01:15:53.000 Yeah, I'm going to say this.

01:15:55.000 I was so pleased not to have to look at Nancy Pelosi's face behind Donald Trump that entire time. 0.96

01:16:01.000 Was that not the greatest thing?

01:16:02.000 Look, and I was thinking about this, Charlie, and you probably agree.

01:16:04.000 This is something that you think about.

01:16:07.000 Think about how many more votes and more favorability we get by not having Nancy Pelosi behind him.

01:16:14.000 People just respond more positively by not watching that, not giving them an upstaging moment, not having to look at that.

01:16:22.000 I was distracted the whole time looking at her nasty face. 1.00

01:16:26.000 I think that's bad.

01:16:28.000 Don't look at the pictures when she was doing the walk in Italy.

01:16:31.000 And again, you've got neighborhood Ned Flanders, speaker Ned Flanders.

01:16:36.000 You've got J.D. Vance, the millennial child boy wonder up there.

01:16:41.000 It's such a beautiful thing.

01:16:44.000 Imagine if we had Tim Walls behind.

01:16:46.000 There's the contrast.

01:16:47.000 We've come a long way, folks.

01:16:48.000 Imagine if we had Tim Walls in Kamala's seat there, looking all bug-eyed.

01:16:54.000 Dude, America having gone through...

01:16:57.000 America passed right over Gen X. We just went from that to that so abruptly, and you couldn't have a greater comparison tool that exists in American politics, maybe in history. 0.89

01:17:11.000 I agree.

01:17:12.000 Jack, final thoughts?

01:17:14.000 Yeah, look, I really want to come back to the way the Democrats acted tonight because I talk about this a lot.

01:17:20.000 I talk about how the importance of...

01:17:22.000 To the meta-normie narrative out there, because people for a long time on the conservative right, these sort of old cons, would think that it's about beating the Democrats in there, winning the argument, winning the debate or something like that, when it's really about winning over normies, winning over normies to your side.

01:17:39.000 And the person who wins over the Normies wins the election.

01:17:42.000 President Trump showed how to do that resoundingly in 2023 with him at the helm of this incredible coalition that he put together.

01:17:48.000 And what the problem is with that is the Normies are only paying attention at certain times.

01:17:53.000 They pay attention.

01:17:54.000 To the debates, that's why they're so important.

01:17:56.000 That's why Joe Biden was yanked after his first debate and someone tried to kill President Trump on national television.

01:18:02.000 It's also why Kamala Harris couldn't really survive her debate. 1.00

01:18:06.000 Tim Walz flamed out in debates, whereas J.D. Vance became a national figure in his debate, even though he was a national figure in his own right.

01:18:13.000 The State of the Union addresses, and this was a State of the Union address, again, to the Normie audience.

01:18:17.000 In that context, this was a State of the Union address.

01:18:21.000 It had theatrics.

01:18:21.000 It had the pomp and circumstance.

01:18:23.000 It had that sort of Head of state appealed to it, sort of in the dual-hatted role of the presidency being head of state and head of government.

01:18:31.000 And so the way the Democrats acted, completely breaching decorum, completely laughing, completely, and by the way, not standing up and applauding for a child with brain cancer.

01:18:43.000 I mean, these are politically devastating decisions.

01:18:47.000 And make no mistake, they are decisions.

01:18:49.000 And you know that whatever the...

01:18:52.000 The cooler heads that there are in the Democrat establishment.

01:18:57.000 Charlie, you may have spoken to one of them earlier today.

01:19:00.000 We'll find out on that later.

01:19:02.000 You'll let me know how I did.

01:19:05.000 You'll know that they've got to be cringing because they realize just how badly received this is going to be by the American people.

01:19:12.000 I don't want to speak for Gavin or any of these guys, but if any of them want to try to win an election in the future...

01:19:20.000 What the Democrats did tonight was so self-defeating.

01:19:23.000 It's so just doubling and tripling down on minoritarian nonsense.

01:19:30.000 Just petty.

01:19:31.000 Andrew, final thoughts.

01:19:33.000 Throw up 155. This is my final thought.

01:19:35.000 Look at this bar graph.

01:19:36.000 President Trump's speech was the longest ever first addressed to Congress by like a lot.

01:19:44.000 And this reminded me of something Blake said at the beginning, so hat tip Blake, that he's only been in office for about 40 days, and yet the...

01:19:52.000 Mountain of accomplishments is so large and so sweeping and so dramatic and the creativity and the upheaval and so much has changed so quickly that he filled an hour and 40 minutes of content and I didn't even realize it was that long.

01:20:11.000 I was sitting there.

01:20:11.000 We were looking and analyzing in real time.

01:20:14.000 It did not feel like it dragged on.

01:20:15.000 It didn't feel like any of that because there is so much to talk about.

01:20:19.000 And I think we can definitively say that there has never been a more productive or effective or important and impactful first 40 days of a presidency in all of history.

01:20:30.000 I think that is...

01:20:32.000 Safe to say.

01:20:33.000 Now, you could look at maybe Truman wrapping up World War II or something, but outside of wartime, there is nothing that I think compares in American history, and Blake, maybe you'll disagree with me, but this is so sweeping and radical in so many good ways that it's an hour and 40 minutes, and he deserved every ounce of that time.

01:20:52.000 Blake, final thoughts?

01:20:54.000 I would say we should look ahead.

01:20:56.000 He'll have to deliver his first real State of the Union in a year.

01:21:00.000 And if things work out, think about what he'll be able to talk about in a year.

01:21:05.000 If he's able to say, we've had a year of secured border now.

01:21:08.000 Peace.

01:21:09.000 If we now have the peace deal in Ukraine.

01:21:11.000 The economy is going to be the question.

01:21:12.000 Peace deal in the Middle East. 0.72

01:21:13.000 We'll see on the economy.

01:21:14.000 We will have tax cuts.

01:21:16.000 We'll have D-reg. 1.00

01:21:17.000 And we know we have AI something.

01:21:18.000 And we have energy.

01:21:20.000 So the economy...

01:21:21.000 He has a potential to have a monumental...

01:21:23.000 First state of the union.

01:21:25.000 Yeah, the only reason, the question mark in the economy, we don't know how bad it was what we've inherited.

01:21:29.000 We've heard some things.

01:21:31.000 Yeah, that there's going to be some.

01:21:32.000 Again, we could get bailed out by certain stuff.

01:21:35.000 And by growth.

01:21:36.000 Yes.

01:21:37.000 Okay, again, it's charliekirkstore.com to get what we are wearing.

01:21:57.000 Also, huge thanks to the Charlie Kirk Show for allowing us to be the sort of perennial guest host in Hour 3 on the radio side for the Salem Radio Network.

01:22:08.000 We've all been enjoying that very much.

01:22:10.000 We're having a great time over there.

01:22:12.000 And huge, huge show coming up tomorrow.

01:22:16.000 Amen.

01:22:16.000 Very good, guys.

01:22:18.000 Appreciate it very much.

01:22:20.000 And we will be back tomorrow at 12 Eastern.

01:22:23.000 We have Ben Shapiro on the program tomorrow.

01:22:26.000 For a full hour.

01:22:26.000 How about why we should pardon Derek Chauvin?

01:22:29.000 Now, Blake, a year ago, if I told you Ben Shapiro was going to be on my show advocating for the pardon of Derek Chauvin.

01:22:37.000 Yeah.

01:22:39.000 We've come a long way.

01:22:40.000 You would say, what brand of mushrooms and how often are you taking?

01:22:44.000 And it's not a knock against Ben.

01:22:47.000 Just to give a little insight, break the fourth wall here.

01:22:52.000 To my everlasting shame, I wasn't convinced that this was a good idea.

01:22:56.000 Charlie and Blake were like, we need to pardon Derek Chauvin.

01:22:59.000 You've been doing it for a year.

01:23:00.000 How forceful have I been on the pardon thing?

01:23:02.000 No, you've been huge.

01:23:02.000 No, you should blame me.

01:23:07.000 It's my fault.

01:23:08.000 I own this one.

01:23:08.000 But Ben, to his credit, is coming out hard, and he's a lawyer, and he's very smart, and he's very analytical.

01:23:14.000 But you've wanted to do this for a year.

01:23:17.000 Of course, because it was a Moscow show trial.

01:23:19.000 The whole thing's insane.

01:23:20.000 No, he got railroaded.

01:23:21.000 It's terrible.

01:23:21.000 But, you know, Blake, you pushed it hard.

01:23:24.000 Charlie, you push.

01:23:25.000 I just want the world to know.

01:23:26.000 The reason it probably wasn't more is because I was the wet blanket in the room going like, I don't know if we're there yet, but my bad.

01:23:33.000 We should give credit real quick.

01:23:34.000 Liz Collin did her work with Alpha News.

01:23:37.000 We've been covering it.

01:23:38.000 We've been getting closer and closer.

01:23:39.000 Which I fully supported.

01:23:41.000 It was great to get her reporting on it.

01:23:42.000 I mean, there's a lot there to unpack, so don't miss that.

01:23:45.000 Hour two tomorrow of the show is going to be phenomenal.

01:23:48.000 We've got Jim Banks as well.

01:23:50.000 Senator Jim Banks on in hour one.

01:23:52.000 So it's going to be a great show.

01:24:19.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
