Speaker 1 (00:17):
The Charlie Kirk Show starts.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Now, why do you think other countries aren't judge revenue
strict immigration policy?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I was born as a man and now I'm a woman.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
What do you think the biggest threat is to the
United States currently? There's a reason that a lot of
the black community doesn't have a father, and it's because
of systemic racism.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
America is the only country where even those who hate
it refused to leave. That's how you know you live
in a great country. It's time that we start talking
to the next generation, not talking down to the next generation.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
And that's what we're doing. Mister Kirk.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
You know I'm not in political views up, but I
see you all the time, and man, that brain of
year is just the way you talk and the way
you speak, the things you say, it's it's impressive.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
I wish I could talk like that.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
And I'm going to raise to chase the bad guys.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
And catch them.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
And you're going to raise to to really tell people
off and let them.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
Know what the true story is, how we all appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
So one day, if I could shake your hand, I'd
love to.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
But for now, if you try to do it up
for you and the rest of the country, the half
of Charlie Kirk and our entire little America is well,
see you, thank you, thank you for doing what you do.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
You do what you do.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
We're all part of the body. You do what you do,
so we could do what we do. We'll keep fighting
for you.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
We won't give up like I was selling your Cortner here.

Speaker 8 (01:35):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
The one thing that these law.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Enforcement officers have agents at is hope. And no matter who,
what or where it's sitting in a seat, will never
give that hope.

Speaker 9 (01:45):
Not house people for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
But yeah, I'm so glad I can send you a message.

Speaker 8 (01:50):
It's pretty all. It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Just one last thing.

Speaker 10 (01:53):
I know you talked to him the last four years
compared to the last month.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
What the operational change?

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, man, So we're partners Serves Trime and Rescue Team.

Speaker 8 (02:03):
I so up.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
I'm gonna I'm gonna give you something that I worked.
The way I want to say it is that we're
part of tax for medicine, so we learned how to
treat you know, bleedings and all that anything that comes
our way, your candidate, the.

Speaker 9 (02:13):
Way you stop the bleeding is.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
And plug it and where I'm gonna get at as
a bleeding didn't.

Speaker 8 (02:17):
Stop for four years.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now, it's a plug.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
In certain areas, certain spots, and we've been able to
regroup a lot of agents have been able to take
a breather, and we'll.

Speaker 11 (02:29):
Get back to the grind like the Fabreac.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
But when I tell you the bleeding is plugged, it's plugged.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Mister President, you won the White House in part because
of high inflation.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
If your tariffs make prices go.

Speaker 8 (02:40):
Up, are really ask you to speak again?

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Please?

Speaker 12 (02:47):
You recommended I was listening to your podcast last week
and you recommended Democrats should put up more of a
fight and go down to these federal agencies, bang on
the doors, demand access. Well they maybe they were listening.
They did that, They've gone usaid, the Department of Education
hasn't had much of an impact, So what now?

Speaker 13 (03:10):
Yeah, then I was wrong because it looked more like
a senior's home when it counseled yellow Knife. It just
wasn't optically a good moment for us in terms.

Speaker 8 (03:19):
Of what we should do.

Speaker 13 (03:21):
Is be more optimistic and be more optimistic in future.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Again, Seventy five thousand people accepted the buyout program that's
going to save.

Speaker 12 (03:31):
Millions of dollars for the American Talks players, and that's
exactly what we wanted.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
So we want to do a number of.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Things, but.

Speaker 10 (04:09):
We're fun.

Speaker 14 (04:11):
It is going to take a consecutive series of brave
people to keep this administration from going off the rails
from some of the decisions to keep Elon.

Speaker 15 (04:20):
Us because apparently somehow convinced the United States government, specifically
the United States Department of State, that the taxpayers of
the United States of America should spend four hundred million
dollars buying quote armored Tesla production units.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Isn't it great?

Speaker 15 (04:40):
And definitely not at all illegal or profoundly corrupt, definitely
not ripping.

Speaker 8 (04:45):
Us all off to pay themselves.

Speaker 16 (04:47):
Right, Donald Trump didn't give that contract.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
To Elon Musk.

Speaker 8 (04:51):
Joe Biden gave it to him.

Speaker 16 (05:01):
Every day is a battle for your mind, raging information
coming from every angle, but the will to deceive, fear not.
You found the place for truth, the voice from a
generation that still has the will to believe in the
greatest country in the history of the world.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot, here
we go.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, everybody, Radio stations across the country.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Honored to be with you. As always, you can.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Email us your thoughts freedom at Charliekirk dot com and
Happy Friday. As we are here live on the program,
our Vice president and friend of the program and friend
of mine, Jade Vance, just gave a historic and landmark
speech in Munich, one of the most important speeches that
a sitting Vice president has given in quite some time now.

(05:49):
By background, the Munich Security Conference is the ruling class
gathering of the Prime Minister's national security elite of both
America and NATO. The Munix Security Conference was established in
nineteen sixty three by Ivad van Kist, a journalist and
publisher trying to foster dialogue during the Cold War.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now, the whole idea of the Unix.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Security Conference, and the whole premise is that Western liberal
democracies were trying to build a strengthened alliance against the
Soviet Union. That's always been the guiding premise of the
Munix Security Conference. Now, in the last twenty years it
has actually become a largely sleepy gathering. Europe has been
somewhat stable, but over the last fifteen years, people like

(06:38):
Lindsay Graham and ab clomachar would go to the Munich
Security Conference and would be so obsessed with Russia. Russia
is growing and Russia is strengthened. We must expand NATO.
A lot of the expansionist, imperialistic aims and ambitions of
NATO were launched, theorized, and put to paper at the

(07:00):
Munich Security Conference.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Now, the main Security Conference.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Is such a hot tick in town that many US
senators like to go on what's called a codell, which
is a special congressional delegation. They get on a military
airplane and fly straight to Munich to represent the United
States abroad.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
It is a neo con convention.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
If you enjoy invading other people's countries, breaking them, invading
the world, and inviting the world with no restraints on
mass immigration, the Munich Security Conference is for you.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Remember they sent and dispatched Kamala Harris to the Munich
Security Conference and said verbatim right before Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
It was the final provocation. Kamala Harris went to the
Munich Security Conference back in twenty twenty two and basically
said that Ukraine is going to be part of NATO,

(07:53):
which was the final point of provocation for Vladimir.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Putin to invade Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now, the corrolary to that would be if Mexico was
going to join a military alliance with China or Russia,
we wouldn't put up with that. We'd say, no way
are we going to allow having Russian missiles right on
our border. So jade Evan's traveling to the Menix Security
Conference served as America's representative, and it shows President Trump's

(08:20):
trust in Vice President jade Vance. It shows his commitment
to having him oversee real issues with high high stakes.
For eighty years, America has been the hegemon over Europe
for decades. That made us the defenders of liberty and
of democratic government. For over the last thirty years, our

(08:43):
role became something very very different. The elites at our
State Department saw their priorities as promoting a globalist agenda
rather than protecting Western civilization. That meant prioritizing mass migration,
mass free trade over everything else. Remember, the neoliberal consensus
is built on three.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Pinnacle issues.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Invade the world, invite the world, and import the stuff
that the world makes. Invade, invite import, that is neoliberalism,
Invade it, Invite them into your country and then de
industrialize your homeland and import a bunch of plastic that
you actually don't need.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
We gutted free.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Speech in the West under the guise of democracy. Meanwhile,
the elites in our defense establishment, people like Senator Roger Wicker,
people like Lindsey Graham and many others, they have not
outgrown the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
They crave war.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
They have a lust for conflict, specifically war with Russia. Now,
mind you, I had an open email these last couple
of days, and I've read hundreds of them. I said,
please tell me the material reason why we should hate Russia,
not that we should like Russia. I don't like Russia.
I would never live there. They're not a free society.
They don't have the values that we have. But why
should we hate them? Why are they an enemy of

(10:10):
the United States? What has Russia done in your life
to make you hate them? And understand what the national
security establishment did back in twenty sixteen seventeen eighteen was
so smart. They wanted the war with Russia because they
saw the Middle least falling out of favor with the
American people, and they ran out of demons to go
chase in the Middle East, despite trillions of dollars spent.
So they got so smart they said, we're gonna blame Trump.

(10:33):
We're gonna blame Russia for Trump. So we're gonna get
all the country to say that Trump is president because
of Russia, creating anti Russian sentiment amongst the body politic
and the American elite that will lead us towards a
war with Russia. Completely unnecessary. So today we exist in
a rather ridiculous reality. We got to speak the truth here.

(10:56):
This is blunt and you will not hear this on
most programs. Europe is a failed project. Is it is
going over the abyss. It has become a sham, a
failed society ruined by a sinister mixture of mass migration

(11:19):
and left wing economics. They can't generate electricity, their economies
are moribund. They won't pay themselves and instead count on
America to do it. You know, we spent over one
hundred billion dollars in specific targeted aid to Europe.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's right, one hundred.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Billion dollars to a wealthy Western democracy. We're just writing
one hundred billion dollars in checks, and that doesn't count
the hundreds of billions of dollars in soft military support
we have because a military base is in Germany, military
bases in Poland. So we are spending hundreds of billions

(12:00):
dollars a year to wealthy European countries.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
For what reason. What do we get in return?

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well, they won't pay to defend themselves and instead count
on America to do it. Europe has basically become a
giant museum. It's a husk of its former self. The
continent that gave us Charlemagne, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein
has become a welfare program to support Arabs, Afghans and Africans.

(12:33):
Their slogan might as well be Europeans Last. And today
our Vice President Jade Vance rolled in and called them
out and it is becoming international news.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
It is shaking the core of.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
The failed project of Europe because you're not allowed to
go into polite society Munich. And understand Europeans are. They're
not temperamentally different than Americans. If they hate you, they
won't tell you. It's going to be very polite. However,
behind the scenes they'll try to conspire. They don't go
out in the public and bang the table the way
that Americans do. They're far more secretive and clandestine and

(13:11):
how they actually operate here. But Jade Vance went in
and dropped the hammer. Jd Vance said, this is a
failed project. You guys are hypocrites when it comes to democracy,
and we're not going to put up with it as America.
This is a perfect example. We're going to go through
the elements of Jade Vance's historic laying it down speech

(13:31):
in Munich, America. First, right on the world stage of
the neo conservative elite. This is Jadvance saying that, wait,
so you guys are all for democracy, but you straight
up canceled an election in Romania. It's true, they just
came in and canceled an election in Romania.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Why oh, because of Russia. Play cut two sixteen.

Speaker 10 (13:52):
Now we're at the point, of course that the situation
has gotten so bad that this December Romania straight up canceled.
There was vaults of a presidential election based on the
flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from
its continental neighbors. Now, as I understand it, the argument

(14:12):
was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. But
I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
You can believe it's wrong for Russia.

Speaker 10 (14:24):
To buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
We certainly do.

Speaker 10 (14:29):
You can condemn it on the world stage even but
if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred
thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then
it wasn't very strong to begin with.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Maybe it wasn't a democracy, maybe it was an oligarchy
posing as a democracy.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
This is such a breadth of fresh air.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Going into the museum that calls itself Europe that has
been plagued with limitless amounts of Arabs Africans coming in
and polluting Europe. Jadvan says, no more. The technocratic class
is not happy.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Z factor.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
We all know how challenging it can be to get
the quality sleep we need, whether it's falling asleep or

I say that the mass migration is impacting Europe, understand
what I'm saying when I say, the pollution of the
culture bringing jihad and non democratic principles and they're not

(17:54):
assimilating their ideology is the core problem. And if anyone
has a problem with that, proved me wrong. Were the
number one name of new babies being born in London
or at least in surrounding areas is Muhammad, You guys
could fact check me on this.

Speaker 17 (18:15):
And.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Oh is in Glasgow, thank you.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
There weren't any rape gangs in Europe fifty years ago,
and now they're in England fifty years ago and now
they're all over the place. And so Europe has become
a husk of its former self. The you could use
any one of these words.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
You look at.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
The culture of Europe, which was Christian in nature, judaeo
Christian nature, believe in a free society, was a little
more socialistic than for our liking. How's that been going?

Speaker 9 (18:53):
Well?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
When you import a new culture, when you import foreigners
into your nation, don't be surprised when it starts to
look like the country you're importing them from. And my
friend who is running for Congress, who I endorsed, who

(19:15):
is a Muslim doctor Zudi Jasser, great man who's also
my doctor, he totally agrees. He says, this is an
unsustainable importation of jihad. Not to mention, if you import
the third world, you're going to get the third world.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
And so yeah, that is a cultural pollution. Jd Vance is.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Unafraid to address this head on, unafraid to go into it.
And by the way, and then you have to support
them financially, so that the nanny state supports the importation
of the Third World with no assimilation. It's elon Omar
on steroids. The number one name of new kids in
Glasgow is Mohammed. Now, some of you guys think that's

(19:55):
perfectly fine. I think there's something fundamentally wrong with it.
Jdvance talks about the death of free speech. How free
speech is not a value in European countries. In addition,
this is Jdvans going after immigration. It goes to the

(20:15):
core on the immigration problem to twenty five.

Speaker 10 (20:19):
And of all the pressings challenges that the nation's represented
here face, I believe there is nothing more urgent than
mass migration.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Today, almost one.

Speaker 10 (20:31):
In five people living in this country moved here from abroad.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
That is, of course an all time high.

Speaker 10 (20:36):
Is a similar number, by the way, in the United States,
also an all time high.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
The number of immigrants who.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
Entered the EU from non EU countries doubled between twenty
twenty one and twenty twenty two alone, and of course
it's gotten much higher since.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
And it's not stopping. It is a NonStop flow of
mass migration. They are addicted to it. That is part
of the state run religion of neoliberalism. Katie Vance continued,
let's play cut two twenty.

Speaker 10 (21:12):
Nine, and unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's
sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the
Cold Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where EU Commission
commissars warren citizens that they intend to shut down social
media during times of civil unrest the moment.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
They spot what they've judged.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
To be quote, hateful content.

Speaker 10 (21:39):
Or to this very country where police have carried out
raids against citizens suspected of posting anti feminist comments online
as part of quote combating misogyny on the Internet a
day of action.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
I looked to Sweden, or two weeks.

Speaker 10 (21:54):
Ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in
Kuran Bernie.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh, he's going after every single one of them to
their face. Jade Vancy's calling them out, you don't believe
in it, and Zas Jimmens it's very mad. Boris pistoris
not a very German name, ike benheind very very angry
at JD. I don't think I have time to play
this in this segment. Oof, that's too bad. I really

(22:23):
would love to do this. Can we go through the break,
maybe and I could just do this really quick on
exclusively streaming podcasting and you guys lo have to listen
to it. I gotta land this plane because we got
the Great Ed Dowd coming up. This is too important
because Dus Jimmins the very mad, very upset. You know,
maybe you guys start paying for your own defense. You
guys are a welfare queen receiving money from the American people.

(22:48):
You guys are become a welfare project. Germany is the
really the only robust economy in Europe, and it's time
for you guys to step up. No more are we
going to subsidize the demise of the home of our forefathers.
I'll explain more during the break. Okay, I just got

(23:29):
I gotta finish this argument here. So this is that's
very mad. Boris pistoris going through the entire program here.
Don't worry, Daisy, You're on camera the whole time. Let's
go cut to thirty to thirty.

Speaker 18 (23:51):
This is why I cannot just ignore what we've heard before.
I cannot not comment on the speech we heard about
it this Vice president that we fight for your right
to be against us. That is the motto, one of
the mottos of the bundesphere, and it stands for our democracy,

(24:14):
this democracy that was just called into question by the
Hughes vice President, and not just the German democracy, but
Europe as a whole. He spoke of the enum of democracy,
and if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition
of Europe with the condition that prevails in some orto

(24:35):
authoritarian regimes.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Oh, it's not acceptable. What are you going to do
about it? Germany?

Speaker 3 (24:43):
What are you going to do about it?

Speaker 2 (24:45):
You guys have become a fake, mutilated country, a suicidal
partner in the death of Europe. You have been the
leading architect of the mass migration of Europe. You are
a shadow of really what Europe could be. And it's

(25:07):
too bad.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Look.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Of course Germany did unspeakably evil things in the nineteen
forties and fifties. Is the response to then become this fake,
non stop apologizing in nineteen forties, nineteen thirties and forties.
I should say this non stop apologizing, weak, pathetic version

(25:30):
of your former self.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
This is not acceptable.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeh, shut up?

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Play cut two thirty one.

Speaker 18 (25:40):
I would like to explicitly contradict and oppose the impression
that Vice President Vans suggested that our democracies oppressed and
silence minorities. We not only know against whom we defend
our countries, but also what we defend it. Fourth, it's

(26:00):
for democracy, for freedom of opinion, for the rule of law,
and the dignity of each and everyone makes suggestion.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
No, no, what he's saying is though, it's for oligarchy.
It's for the same ten families to keep on running Europe.
It's for five families in France that determine who's going
to be president. Whoever owns the media companies are not
from Louisvaton, the same six you know it, Sarkozzi, the
same six people in Germany. This is not democracy. He's
not a will of the people. It's a rule of

(26:30):
the few. And then if you dare have a contrarian,
heterodox opinion, let me ask this question.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
If I go to the.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Streets of Berlin and I say that transurgeries hurt kids,
or if I say that there are only two sexes,
or if I say that life begins at conception, if
I say that immigrants are hurting Germany, currently, will I
be arrested? How will I be treated? If I say
that they are literally outlawing a political party in Germany.

(27:00):
They have a firewall to block the AfD in Germany.
They're trying to block the AfD. The anti immigrant and
far right Alternative for Germany party has established itself as
a significant political force, and they have laws outlawing political parties.
And we have to be lectured by this buffoon, Boris Pistoris.

(27:22):
If you say foreigners out in Germany, you can get fired.
And they're saying, oh, well, this is our democracy. What
their mean is their sanitized oligarchy that is doing managed
to climb of a once great continent. And that's fine.
If Europe wants to go commit slow motion suicide and
slit their own throat at the sword of Arabian Jahadis
that are coming in mass migration, millions and millions of people,

(27:45):
that's their own directive.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
We won't subsidize it.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
We're not going to subsidize the slow mocean slitting of
the throat of Europe because you got a much of
Mohammedans coming in from the Middle East with US taxpayer dollars.
That dog doesn't hunt that's not gonna happen, and then
we're gonna get lectured by Boris Pistoris this buffoon telling
us this is not acceptable. No, no, we call the shots.

(28:09):
By what army are you going to invade us? Mister Boris?
You only you exist at the pleasure of the United
States of America. And by the way we subsidize the
censorship via the US taxpayer dollar. Unacceptable. Your oligarchy is unacceptable.
How about you allow AfD to be a political party
in Germany. This is one of the most significant geopolitical

(28:33):
promising developments of the modern era. Email US Freedom at
Charliekirk dot com. Ed Dowd joins us in a second

(28:56):
Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Show Where Truth Lives.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
All right, everybody, welcome back.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Email US as always Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Boy,
if you guys aren't on the podcast, you missed quite
the rant there. I'll tell you what I've got to
tell you. It's worth subscribing to. What do we have here?
Conservatives of lower healthcare costs? That is, conservatives for lower
health care costs. Check it out right now. It's amazing.
With President Trump making massive strides in his first month

(29:20):
in office alone to deliver on his campaign promises to
make America great again. It's clear as administration is committed
to driving down costs and unleashing prosperity across our country,
but Big Pharma is standing in the way. They've raised
prices in over five hundred and seventy five brand name
drugs and January loan block competitions, spent millions pushing overpriced
meds on hard working Americans. Now they're pressuring Congress implemant

(29:41):
mandates they'll undermine the one reel check against drug companies
and ban the very market based incentives that help employers
and families save on prescriptions and health care costs. Even worse,
Big Pharma wants to strip American employers of the freedom
to choose health benefits that work for their team. Their
proposals could hand a big farm thirty two billion dollar

(30:01):
money grab at the expense of American employers and families.
Conservatis all our healthcare cost warrens. Big Pharma isn't on
their side.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Big Farmer is no friend in American people. Go to farmer
windfall dot com. Congress can put us out for this.
You can make a difference. Let's fight back. Visit farmer
windfall dot com today. That is farmer windfall dot com today.
Portions of our program are brought to you in part
by conservatives lower healthcare costs. I'm told that the great
patriots in Colorada Springs, the hockey team from Air Force
are watching on raps. So hello to you guys in
Colorado Springs. Would love to visit and thank you for

(30:31):
your service. They have the Charlie Kirks show up right
now at the Air Force Academy. That's a lot different
now that we have new leadership. All right, Ed, doubt
is with us. Ed, sorry to keep you waiting. Lots
to cover here. Do you have any comments on the
open that we had. If not, that's fine. I'm just
kind of the challenging of US subsidizing the welfare and
anti state of Europe.

Speaker 14 (30:51):
Oh, I'm with you one hundred percent. This has been
going on for far too long. This has been a
boondoggle for these for these countries to not have to
invest in their own defense, and it's time that that ends.
And you're right that Germany is the only real economy
in ur and they have a societal issues with the
immigration and political issues, and the Germany is a mess economically.

(31:16):
Their stock market doesn't reflect that, but they've been in
a recession for about a year, and.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
It's just it's similar to the US.

Speaker 14 (31:26):
The middle class there is struggling, and that's why the
AfD is taking off.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
That's why populism is taking.

Speaker 14 (31:32):
Off across the globe is because governments since the Great
Financial Crisis have gotten bigger and bigger and more bureaucratic.
And you know, the beast of government is fucking you know,
is treading upon the private sector and.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
Swallowing it whole.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
So so I want to now talk about dose with you.
I'm trying to find a corollary and we really don't
have one in the last couple decades of such a significant,
unexpected development to try and seize back control back to
the founder's intent.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I'm even quite taken back.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
By how successful the rapidity and the urgency that the
Doge team is operating. You are a very accomplished business mind.
What is your take so far on dos Well?

Speaker 8 (32:23):
My initial thoughts was I liked the idea.

Speaker 14 (32:26):
I was mildly optimistic, but I thought originally that it
was going to, you know, face headwinds from Congress, and
it wasn't it wasn't a known.

Speaker 8 (32:35):
Established government program.

Speaker 14 (32:38):
But the brilliant here is they took over Obama's twenty
fourteen US Digital Services Department and basically plug and play
and it's an IT oversight bureaucracy to the gain immediate
access and there's nothing that the deep state can do.
And it's already fully funded. And this is brilliant. And

(33:01):
I'm just shocked at how quickly they're getting in there,
what they're finding, and what they're dropping on that this
is amazing.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
This is a game changer.

Speaker 14 (33:09):
And it's also you know, told us what we've all thought,
that a lot of the world we live in is
completely fake and orchestrated through our taxpayer dollars to fool us.
And I think one of the biggest scandals that's yet
to come is when when DOGE figures out how much
has been spent over the last four years on illegal immigrants.

(33:30):
And I think the numbers are going to be shocking,
absolutely shocking, and it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna be
one of the greatest scandals ever.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Now I want to reiterate this, and so what Obama
did during Obamacare is he created the United States Digital
Service in twenty fourteen. It was meant as a bureaucratic
patch job to fix the Obamacare website meltdown. Remember the
Kathleen Sibilius running AHHS and so fast forward to twenty

(34:00):
twenty five. Trump rebrands it to the United States DOGE Service,
keeps the acronym, keeps the funding, but gives it a
whole new mission to find the receipts. It's legally untouchable
because it was already fully funded and operational.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Trump invokes five USC.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Thirty one sixty one, which allows him to create temporary
hiring authorities. The Dog Team gets embedded inside every federal agency.
Each team consists of a lawyer, hr rep, a zoomer NERD,
and an investigator. They report to DOJE, not the agency
they're embedded in. But there's more. He also invoked forty
four USC. Chapter thirty five, which governs federal IT and

(34:34):
cybersecurity oversight. Since USDs was originally an IT oversight body,
so now DOGE has full access to all the federal
data systems ED somebody thought this through. This is from
Kinoka the Great on X.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
This is very deep.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (34:52):
The point, the big point here is I'm very impressed
with the foresight and the planning before they even hit
the ground on January twentieth.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
This is a totally different Trump administration. Yes, they went
in a little naive last time.

Speaker 14 (35:05):
I don't think they understood what, you know, how how
the beast operated. And this is basically a blitzkrieg around
the deep state. This is you know, they they they
you know, the Magineo Line was built after World War
One in France and the guns only pointed one way.
The Germans went around the guns super fast. And this
is what the Trump administration has done. They've blitz creak

(35:25):
the deep state. They're in there and they're finding things
that you know, even I'm shocked. I mean, I'm I'm
a cynic, and I even I'm pleasantly surprised by how
well I'm not pleasant even shocked by how deep this
this rock runs.

Speaker 8 (35:40):
It's it's it's even bigger than I thought.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
So I think people underestimate Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
If you I've had a chance to get to know
him over the last couple of months, have a chance
to communicate with him, I'm so impressed. He's a phenomenal person,
incredibly talented, obviously all the stuff that people know.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
But what I can say is that getting to know
him and then.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Also shoh, kind of thinking back to the Walter Isaacson
biography by Elon, I don't know if you had a
chance to read it or not, ed, there is one
component in this book that Walter isaac Sin focuses on,
which is that when Elon Musk really commits to something,
it's all in. He famously will sleep on the floor
of the Tesla gigafactory until they hit the amount of

(36:22):
car threshold. He will live in Bocachica until the SpaceX
rockets are completed. He does lots of different projects, but
he only does one thing really at a time. Reporting
is showing that Elon Musk is living in the White House,
in the Eisenhower Executive Office building on the floor, getting
a couple hours of sleep a day to then get

(36:44):
right up and go straight back to work, literally sleeping
on the floor.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Ed.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Have we ever seen this kind of a life force
against cutting government waste in American history or at least
in our lifetimes?

Speaker 8 (36:58):
No, we haven't.

Speaker 14 (36:58):
And to your point about the battle, and I've watched
Elon for years.

Speaker 8 (37:02):
He does many things, but he doesn't multitasking.

Speaker 14 (37:05):
Yes, that's right, people that that he hands off things too,
but when something comes to his attention that he needs
to focus on, he's all in. He's fanatically focused on
that one thing. And I saw it reported that he's
going to be embedded basically sleeping on the floor for
the next four months.

Speaker 8 (37:20):
At least, and he's committed to this.

Speaker 14 (37:23):
This is this is something we haven't seen in the
history of the US. And uh, you know, I applauded
as long as as there's transparency in.

Speaker 8 (37:31):
DOGE, as long as they only have.

Speaker 14 (37:33):
Read access to the databases so that people don't think
they're stealing the data, which they're not. I think this
is going to be a phenomenal turning point in history.
And the biggest challenge for us that know what's going
on is to get this message out to the rest
of America.

Speaker 8 (37:48):
And we're fighting the mainstream media that's you know, reporting this.

Speaker 14 (37:51):
As stealing of data and don't look over here at
the fraud, but look at look at Elon. He's evil, YadA, YadA, YadA.
So this is another battle for the marginal mode. But
it seems to me that a lot of people are
waking up fast. And for those of us that are
have already suspected the level of corruption, it's even more.
It's even shocking to us. So this is a phenomenal

(38:11):
time in American history.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
In my own I love it. I have two points
I want to get through here. We only about three
minutes remaining. The first of which, what do you think
this will mean for markets and for investors that are
a little jittery about the explosion of fiscal spending over
the last decade. Does this restore some psychological confidence to
investors in markets believing that the government is somewhat serious

(38:35):
about restraining government overspending.

Speaker 14 (38:39):
Well, this is this is this is the conundrum. Long term,
it's sobulus. Short term, there's going to be a little
value in the economy because the last two years the
economy was floated by Christis level deficit spending the government.
We call it physical dominance. Government jobs were added at
at record pace, not really productive jobs. I Legal immigration

(39:02):
is the elephant in the room, and you know, I
just want to throw this number out there between the NGOs,
the facilitation the money is directed to the illegals directly
and the accommodation they got.

Speaker 8 (39:17):
You could you could easily see one hundred.

Speaker 14 (39:19):
Thousand dollars through the daisy chain of getting someone over
the border in here costing and there's ten million legals
that came through ten million border crossings.

Speaker 8 (39:28):
That's a trillion dollars that was spent by the treasury
and borrowed using the deficit spending. So this economy is
going to and the.

Speaker 14 (39:38):
Middle class has already been a recession, so that that's
that they already feel it. We're going to have a
value then a recovery. So I suspect long term this
is great. But as we restructure the economy and we
get rid of this fake economy, we'll take a hit,
but it'll be fine and we'll come.

Speaker 8 (39:54):
Out the other side. That's why. That's that's our analysis.

Speaker 14 (39:57):
We put out a US Economy Report twenty twenty five,
Dangers of the People World, our concession.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
The Trump administration needs to frame this correctly. They should.

Speaker 14 (40:08):
They should say, hey, reception is proof of restructuring the
economy for the middle class that they need to frame this.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
I agree, and my bullish take.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
If I were to be on the more bullish side
of things, we might be underestimating the psychological stimulus of
what a new regime means for investors. We don't quite
know where that's going to be, where that's going to land.
It could end up being an extra point or two
of growth. Is that correct? Potentially yet?

Speaker 14 (40:32):
So I think we take the hit, but the animal
spirits will, uh will definitely as.

Speaker 8 (40:37):
People see changes, the animal spirits will get us out
of the valley quicker than if if we have the
old regime, the Kamala Harris regime.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
One minute remaining here ed your friend who wrote the
forward to your book, Causes Unknown, which is one of
the cause Cause Unknown, which is phenomenal, all about how
the vaccine has hurt so many lives, the COVID shot
has now helped in human service. As secretary, what is
the significance of this?

Speaker 14 (41:04):
That's another historic event, and I'm very optimistic that over
time it's going to you know, we can't rush to
judgment if we don't see changes immediately.

Speaker 8 (41:13):
He's going to get in there, he's going.

Speaker 14 (41:15):
To basically dice that what's going on, and he'll figure
out where the bodies are buried, and we'll we'll find
we'll find out other horrors I.

Speaker 8 (41:24):
Suspect and they'll be changed. So this is this is
a great Yeah.

Speaker 14 (41:28):
I'm very optimistic, but I'm also very cautious at the
same time.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
The American Comeback Tour. Our campus tour is next week.
Let's go back, full court offense, full pressure, maximum pressure
campaign to win the culture and keep the culture. Let's
play cut sixty two. Do you think we should get
rid of the law that says you can't come into
a country illegally? Should we just get rid of.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
That lawest opinion?

Speaker 19 (43:21):
Yeah, I would say no.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
No, no, no, we shouldn't get rid of it. No, okay,
I agree. So then when should we enforce it? What
when should we enforce it? I don't know, okay, And
you know the reason. And I respect the intellectual honesty
because if you said we shouldn't force it, all the time.
Then you know it would apply to your mom. But

(43:47):
but look, you're a winner of all this. You get

the world.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Rights.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
I love being American, Yes, and so great. Okay, And
we have birthright citizenship. You have a US passport, I
assume right. You cannot have a sustain dole country if
you do not have control who comes into your country
with no sort of standards, no sort of process. It's
a big mystery. I'll tell you a story about that,
but rid of time. Welcome back, everybody. Email us as

(44:29):
always Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. So in Wooster, Massachusetts, now,
I gotta tell you that is one of the hard
things to pronounce correctly, because if you didn't know any better,
you'd think it would be Worcester or Worcester. You know,
it's Wooster, Massachusetts. They have not exactly received the memo

(44:55):
on the dewokeification of the country. We think a lot
about sanctuary cities for illegals, and there's a whole new
sanctuary city that is being workshopped in Wooster, Massachusetts. They

(45:16):
have recently voted to become a sanctuary city for trans
and gender diverse people. You see the people of Wooster,
Massachusetts very similar.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Jade Vance mentioned this.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
It's like the Japanese soldiers who hid in the Jungles
for thirty years and then they're found in like the
nineteen seventies, and they think the war's still going on.
This is Wooster, Massachusetts. Now. I am positive because we
have a national audience and very honored with that. I

(45:51):
bet we have some fans in Wooster, Massachusetts. I bet
there's somebody watching right now from Wooster who knows someone
from Wooster. But that place to the left of Stalingrad.
And if they'll approve it, I might, I might. I
might be doing a big speech in Boston. You know,
it's one of the few major cities I've never given

(46:13):
a speech in. I've been to Massachusetts many times. I've
never given a speech in Boston. I've given a speech
in Providence, I've given a speech in Hotfoot, I've given
a speech in New York. And then the real question
is how do you pronounce Wor's the shirre sauce.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
That's how you do it. It's Worcester chair. For the record,
Wor's the chair.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
I love Worcester sauce.

Speaker 8 (46:39):
It's so good.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Here it is in Wooston, Massachusetts. Play cut ninety two.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
I need the city to protect me because the federal
government won't. And if you think you're afraid of Trump,
you should see how afraid of Trump I am.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Can you wrap up? Please? Yes I can.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
If you say, then you're afraid of Trump. And that's
why you don't want city to be the city to
be a space, save space for trans people. You better
prepare for trans people to make this a very unsaved space.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Obviously, that is that is a direct threat. Now I
know what you're all thinking. That is going to be
the twenty twenty eight Democrat nominee. Whomever that person is,
who is that? Who is that rock star? Gotta get
a name, you know. First, it's the victim, straight to
the threat. And look, we can make fun of this

(47:40):
all day long, and we should. But in Wooster, Massachusetts,
woo they are they are deciding to go all in.
I'm gonna read from NBC Boston Wooster leaders vote to
become a sanctuary city for the trans community. Hey, Andrew,
can you resend that Bill illusion story? Please?

Speaker 3 (47:59):
I want to tie these two things together.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
After a debate Tuesday, the Wooster City Council voted in
favor of a resolution to protect transgender and gender diverse people.
There's a new safe haven in the Bay State after
Wooster officially becomes a sanctuary city for that community during
a lengthy city council meeting. This meeting lasts about five

(48:23):
hours and there were two hundred people show up to
voice their support. So it's a sanctuary city for trans people.
But Bill Malusian comes up with this horrifying story in Massachusetts. Quote,
Massachusetts is the only state that frequently releases illegal aliens
charge with aggravated child I don't even know if I'm

(48:45):
allowed to say that word, I will say child rape,
and refuses to cooperate with ICE on detainer requests for them.
So even in other sanctuary states and cities, he almost
never sees a lack of cooperation for child rape. Listen
to this case quote in Massachusetts, a Guatemalan was charged
with three times forcible child rape, three times aggravated child

(49:08):
rape and was released on bail by Exis County, Massachusetts,
with ICE Boston saying their detainer request was ignored and
they were not notified of his release. Even Gavin Newsom
just promised to veto a bill from Democrats barring ICE
from access state prisons. But Massachusets gets even worse. During
one of his end beds with Ice Boston last year,

(49:30):
they arrested four illegals raping kids, which happens a lot.
A lot of illegals rape kids. All of them had
been released by local jurisdictions, with ICE detainers ignored. When
Bill mallusion asked how is this possible? How is this possible?
He received this answer from local police. Welcome to the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Second hour coming up. Email me Freedom

(49:56):
at Charliekirk dot com. I'll take your questions.

Speaker 20 (50:17):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. Vice President J. D. Vance, making his first
appearance on the world stage. Is President Trump's second in charge.
In advance of meeting with Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelinsky on
the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in Germany to
begin peace talks with Russia and Ukraine, the Vice President
also reminding our NATO allies of what's at stake this weekend.

Speaker 10 (50:41):
But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European
security and believes that we can come to a reasonable
settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that
it's important in the coming years for Europe to step
up in a big way to provide for its own defense.
That I worry the most about Visa v Europe is

(51:03):
not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other external actor.
And what I worry about is the threat from within,
the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values,
values shared with the United States of America.

Speaker 20 (51:20):
Meantime, as the Vice President begins working on a peace
deale to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian
President Voldimir Zelenski saying that he'll only agree to meet
with Russian President Vladimir Putin face to face after a
common plane is negotiated with or through President Trump. He
also says he believes President Trump is the key to
ending the war. It is a new day and a

(51:43):
new executive order for President Trump. He's set to sign
his latest measure around one o'clock this afternoon, but this morning,
there is still lots of buzz about the President following
through on his promise of reciprocal tariffs with the country's
trade partners. After signing an EO on reciprocal tariffs on Thursday,
the Commander in Chief immediately trotting out the new policy

(52:03):
before India's Prime Minister doing talks at the White House.

Speaker 8 (52:07):
It's been.

Speaker 21 (52:09):
Just about the highest eras nation anywhere in the world
have been Versamanaris, and I don't blame them necessarily, but
it's a different way of doing business. It's very hard
to sell into India because they have the trade bears,
very slow terrorists. We are right now in reciprocal nation.
We are going to if it's India or if it's

(52:30):
somebody else with low terrors, we're gonna have the same.
Whatever India charges, we're charging them.

Speaker 8 (52:36):
Whatever another country charges, we're charging them.

Speaker 21 (52:38):
So it's called reciprocal, which I think is a very
fair way.

Speaker 20 (52:43):
Vice President Advance will likely have some conversations about the
new trade policy while meeting with other world leaders in
Munich this weekend. Hamas is out with the names of
the three hostages said to be released tomorrow under the
terms of the current cease fire deal with Israel. The
group inc American Israeli Sagui Da kel Chen. Interestingly, the

(53:05):
three people schedule to be released are all dual citizens,
but chen is the only one that ties to the
United States. If the trio isn't released on Saturday, Israel
says it will resume its attacks on Gaza and Hamas.
The warning coming after Hamas said that it was postponing
the release of the hostages amid accusations that Israel had
violated the ceasefire agreement. President Trump then stepping in with

(53:29):
the warning to Ama, saying the ceasefire should end if
the hostages aren't brought home. Under the deal, thirty three
hostages should be released during the first six weeks. In return,
Israel will allow nineteen hundred Palestinian detainees to go free
in Israel. Well, this Friday morning is off to a
pretty rocky start for nearly thirteen hundred federal employees. That

(53:53):
is how many are reportedly being laid off at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as part of the
Trump administration's effort to trim the size of government leadership.
At the CDC, which is based in Atlanta, was notified today.
The job cuts make up about a tenth of the
agency's workforce. Affected employees will reportedly received four weeks of

(54:13):
paid administrative leave, but there's no word yet when those
layoffs will go into effect. The cuts are one way
of lowering the agency's nine point two billion dollar budget
to a President Trump's most controversial cabinet nominees are confirmed,
sworn in and on the job this morning. A third
FBI director pick, Cash Bettel, could win confirmation as soon

(54:35):
as today, but very likely next week. The Senate Judiciary
Committee advanced his bid to lead the bureau on Thursday
with the twelve to ten vote. In the meantime, the
country's new Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
was sworn in on Thursday. During a brief ceremony in
the Oval Office, he doubled down on his promise to
improve the country's food standards in the very same office

(54:58):
his uncle once occupied. Presidents, that's a quick check off
your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates.

(55:44):
thank you for being a member.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
What is on your mind?

Speaker 22 (55:48):
Thanks, Charlie. Yes, so my question is when talking to
people about conservative politics, the issue of abortion often comes up.
Some are you that Trump isn't pro life enough, even
though there were many things trumped in his first term
to support pro life. They say, in his first term,
money was still being sent to planned parenthood, so therefore

(56:09):
he isn't pro life, so would be a good response
to this.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
So that's a fair point. First of all, yes, some
money was still being spent to planned parenthood, but that
was congressionally appropriated. He was trying his best to defund
planned parenthood. Number two is he rescinded the Mexico City Policy,
as he did also in this term, which prohibits international
funding of abortions. Not to mention his pardons of the

(56:34):
pro life warriors and protesters, I am of the strong
opinion that we should not be funding abortions with tax
pair dollars in this country. It's to the tune of
seven hundred million dollars. Even if you're in this audience,
and you might be more pro choice or at least
neutral on the issue. We should all be able to
agree that we should not fund Planned parentod to the

(56:56):
tune of seven hundred million dollars. In fact, I and
actually I have a tweet drafted you. Thank you for
reminding me. I want to try to get DOGE to
go after Planned Parented, and I think that would to
pry the DOGE team and to say seven hundred million
dollars you can fund yourself. By the way, it's technically

(57:16):
against federal law. There is something called the Hide Amendment
where technically you are not allowed to fund abortion with
taxpayer dollars. Now they get around it because they say, oh,
this is funding all of our overhead and all of
our clinics and all of our healthcare. You and I
both know that is completely RUSS rubbish. So hey, Planned Parented,
go fund yourself. That is my best message for them. Elliott,

(57:40):
Where are you from? I'm from Iowa. Good good good place,
good spot. Thanks for being a member, and good pro
life folks there as well. Thanks so much.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Yeah, thank you, Kate, Kate, thank you.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
For being a member. What is on your mind? Where
are you from?

Speaker 8 (57:57):
Hi?

Speaker 23 (57:57):
Charlie, I'm so grateful to be a new member. I'm
in South Carolina and so I'm going to read my
questions so I stay on track. I owe you a
great deal. As about a year ago, I was still
very much a Democrat. I even had Stage five trumped arrangement.
But I'm proof that one can be cured of TDS.
I was surrounded by my ultraliberal family. But as the

(58:18):
left lean more into transgenderism and woke politics, especially open borders,
transgender surgeries, and children and men and women's sports, that
snapped me out of it. I was and am horrified
that this is now what the Democrats stand for. It's pathetic.
Your podcast literally helped me out of my liberal echo chamber.
And thank god because I voted Republican for the first
time this past selection and for President Trump. I couldn't

(58:42):
be happier to not be a Democrat anymore. And I'm
so in awe of what Donald Trump is doing as president.
I'm proud to be a Trump supporter, something I never
thought I would ever say. So thank you, thank you, Charlie.
My question is I used to work in the ground
zero of the woke movement in theater and the Arts.
I even worked for the director of a major American

(59:02):
museum in New York City. I'm so happy that Trump
is going to be setting Doge after the National Endowment
for the Arts in the Kennedy Center. But this is
a much bigger problem. At the museum, they actively bashed
Trump in his first administration and prided themselves on being
woke and organizing woke anti white exhibits. I worked at
a theater where I live now in South Carolina that

(59:23):
coddled and encouraged the non binary thing in children. We
were going to be forced to use pronouns in our signatures.
Theater communities were and actively are not hiring white people,
including a very talented white friend of mine, for long
stretches of time, and I consider that racist. And my
poor liberal friend was like, oh, but it's the minority's
time to shine. I'll just wait patiently in the corner

(59:44):
with my white guilt. No, it's not right. And Broadway
has become so woke it's horrible. My family walked out
of a show recently that showed a non binary man
character kissing another man for a minute. Straight non binary characters,
transgender characters, obese character shows bashing straight white male characters.

Speaker 9 (01:00:02):
It's awful.

Speaker 23 (01:00:04):
Theater and the arts are ground zero for wocism and
gender ideology, and I really believe it starts with theater
kids in schools. I know Trump has created a task
force for wocism in Hollywood. Can Trump put together a
similar arts task force for America to root this out?
Because truly, the arts in theater in particular seem to
be ground zero for this mess. And I would be

(01:00:25):
happy to help with whatever solutions there may be.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
First of all, Kate, that is a wonderful call. It
is so touching. I'm going to send you a couple
signed books, Daisy. Make sure we do that, and that
is you are why we do what we do, which
is to try to get people to reconsider their worldview
and to come towards i'd say more common sense, a
conservative perspective. Daisy is going to email you, so keep

(01:00:50):
a look out for that. You know. I have a
theory on this, Kate, and I'd love to get your
thoughts on it. So those people that go into theater
have a heavy empathy on self expression and very much
on this idea that you can chart your own path

(01:01:10):
based on how you feel very emotion based right, very
much focused on that, not within the rigidity of the
configurations of a society, but you can kind of throw
out the pesky shackles of reality and you can be

(01:01:33):
whatever you want to be whenever you want to because
literally you are acting or play acting, and so all
those elements don't necessarily lead you towards leftism, but it
is primary ingredients towards that view. And I would also say, Kate,
and I love your thoughts that there are people who

(01:01:53):
get into theater that tend to be in a more
marginalized community not community, but they're just maybe they're more
bullied or they have a harder time fitting in, and
so they're more vulnerable getting sucked into that kind of ideology.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Would you agree with that prognosis, Kate, I would.

Speaker 23 (01:02:11):
Agree with it. And I actually I saw that when
I worked at when I was a theater kid myself,
and it was a lot of the kind of marginalized kids.
I wasn't bullied per se, but you do see marginalized
kids who have been bullied that wander into that community.
But then once they wander into that community, to your point,
you can have this incredible self expression and we want

(01:02:32):
that in America. We want freedom of expression and speech.
But I also worry, you know, as I listened to
I don't know if you've listened to Charlie the Witch
Trials of JK Rowling. Oh yeah, on the whole transgender issue.
They dove into this whole kind of dark space of Reddit,
and I know you've done a lot of segments ondit
Reddit and spaces like that where these sorts of kids

(01:02:53):
who might be like the bullied, the marginalized, the theater kids,
the artsy kids go down not only the theater a hole,
but the Reddit rabbit hole where they feel like today,
I'm going to identify as a zebra. Today, I'm going
to identify as air and that's going to lead kids
towards you know what. I'm going to change my gender
because I want to be part of this new movement.

(01:03:13):
I want to feel like I'm I'm special because I'm
going to identify as a woman today. And I think
it's I think it's really dangerous and there's got to
be something we can do. Because the Broadway shows too,
which all of these young kids are going to see
with their parents. And I grew up outside of New
York City and Broadway was a huge part of my
life growing up. At almost every Broadway show I've seen

(01:03:36):
that comes travels through South Carolina recently has had some
sort of gay, transgender, woke ideology, storyline or character, and
they're anti white and they're anti male, and it's very
kind of it's depressing that these young kids aren't seeing these,
you know, inspiring shows that we used to have, and

(01:03:57):
it's all about the wokeism now. So I would agree
with you that it's a dangerous slope.

Speaker 6 (01:04:01):
Or you're in this.

Speaker 23 (01:04:02):
You want self expression, you want freedom of speech, but
how do you how do you guide that in a
better direction?

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
I just I love that, And so here is my
simple prescription. And first of all, what a wonderful call, Kate.
This might be the best members call we've ever had.
I love it.

Speaker 23 (01:04:19):
Oh my gosh, Charlie, I'm such a huge fan. I
really appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
I know it's it's very deep and it's not just
the flattery, of which I appreciate. But we go back
to really what helped build the English language, which is Shakespeare.
I mean, how many theater kids are proficient and understanding
and perform a Shakespeare play probably very few, and we

(01:04:43):
shaped all of our literature, our theater, and culture for centuries.
So my opinion, by the way they've gotten rid of
Shakespeare in a lot of college apartments because it's a
white man. My opinion is to use to use the
energy force that is within theater world or arts world
and say, hey, we're going to go read and perform
and study old stuff, old stuff, stuff plays, works of

(01:05:07):
art that have lasted a long time. Because we're going
to cherish what has lasted. We're not going to worship
the modern. And I don't necessarily think that's going to
solve everything, but it will be a step in the
right direction. Kate, you're great, call anytime. We're going to
send you some books and thank you so much, thank you,
thank you, Charlie.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Now that is how a member call should be.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Everybody dialogue back and forth, take notes. Everyone that is
as good as it gets. Relief factor. When you hear
the term living better, what do you think about more money,
a bigger house, maybe a yacht. What about how you
feel physically, how you wake up every day, how you sleep,
what activities you can do and cannot do when you
feel good? Life is good. So if pain is affecting
your life, see how relief factor can help. In fact,
the longer you take it, the more effective it is.

(01:05:50):
Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps fit pain naturally.
Go to reliefactor dot com. That is relieffactor dot com
called one eight hundred four relief. That is one eight
hundred four relief. We'll be right back. What a great
call that was.

Speaker 16 (01:06:04):
So they get to the future of America, and the
future is bright.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Here is Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Okay, everybody, let's play here our upcoming campus tour. We're
excited about that tour promo we've done. How about this one.
Let's go to cut sixty four. Would you support white
only dormitories? Everybody has a choice, So I think white

(01:06:31):
only and black only anything is evil and wrong. That's
why I hate critical theory and critical race theory because
when it's put in practice, when it's put in practice,
you start to discriminate people based on race. So we're
now south of the Mason Dixon line in North Carolina.
We did a lot of work to get rid of
segregation in this country. Why are you trying to bring
it back? What work the Civil Rights Act of nineteen

(01:06:54):
sixty four in this state. Yeah, actually in this state.
Are there black only bathrooms out there? Am unaware of?
Or white only bathrooms?

Speaker 6 (01:07:01):
Nah?

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Right, A lot of work was done in the state.
You your face is small, Well, thanks for being here.
They always go to insults when they lose the argument.
God bless you, my friend. Coming up next week University
South Florida. It's gonna be a lot of fun. So
check that out on American Comeback Tour dot com. Get

(01:07:23):
your tickets, Come on by, ask me anything. It's gonna
be great. Members continues in a.

Speaker 7 (01:07:27):
Second, Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. It's a great song.
I don't know the name of it, but it's a
great song. Members dot Charliekirk dot com if you want
to ask us a question. Micah the prophet Micah. Micah
is our next question. I do want to say the
book in the Book of Micah is actually one of
my favorite Bible verses. I have to say this before
I call on Micah. Micah six eight. He has told you,

(01:08:04):
oh man, what is good and what does the Lord
require of you? But to do justice, to love kindly
and to walk humbly with your God, Daisy. We should
get that up in the studio, Micah six eight. With that,
Micah is our next question, Micah, what's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (01:08:21):
Charlie.

Speaker 24 (01:08:21):
So, I'm a seventeen year old Christian here in Oregon.
I want to grow up to be become a doctor,
more specifically a surgeon. I'm just curious on your thoughts
on what college you would recommend.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Well, first of all, God bless you for wanting to
become a surgeon. That is going to be quite a journey.
What kind of surgeon do you want to be? And
then more importantly, why do you want to become a surgeon?

Speaker 10 (01:08:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:08:45):
So I want to become a classic reconstructive going through
the reconstructive pathway there.

Speaker 8 (01:08:51):
So there's just so.

Speaker 25 (01:08:53):
Much the.

Speaker 24 (01:08:57):
So much illness, and these people that cancer will destroy
their face, and what I really want to do is
just help them with their life and you know, just
become well again.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
So well, so that is going to be that is
going to be quite a journey.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Look, as you know, I'm very much against college, but
we do need qualified, good people at the top. I mean,
surgeon is definitely a good reason to go to college,
whereas to you know, go study Eastern Australian dance routines
is not exactly a good reason to go. Here's what
I'd say, find the best school you can get into
that is the least woke, try to graduate in the

(01:09:35):
least time possible. And becoming a surgeon is very very important.
I mean, we literally put our lives in the hands
of surgeons. And it's easy to scoff at plastic surgeons
saying that they're only there for cosmetic reasons.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
I take issue with that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Yes, of course the money is very good in plastic surgery,
but there's a lot of a lot of burn victims
get their lives back thanks to plastic surgeons. A lot
of cancer patients get their lives back because the place surgeons.
So it might you might only think, oh, that's you know,
for cosmetic breast augmentation surgery.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Not so fast, my friends.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
You know how many people get in near fatal car
accidents that are unrecognizable and go to plastic surgeons and
they're able to get some form.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
Of aesthetic back.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
So I think that it's very easy to dismiss plastic
surgery as only being for the Kardashians, which is obviously
a component of it, but there's a lot of people
that have had their lives improved and bettered and honestly
their health and also understand plastic surgery can also be
sewing up as a sarian section, a sea section that is
technically a form of cosmetic plastic surgery. So not to

(01:10:41):
be scoffed at, love the question. I don't have any
specific recommendations except stay away from the woke schools if possible.
Thanks man Baylor, he said, no, Baylor or yeah, Baylor is.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
Not as woke as others.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
But they got they got some they got some problems
that they got to figure out. But wouldn't be the
first one and work hard and stud your tailoff. We need,
we need the best people in medicine that we can get.
So thank you, thank you so much, Elizabeth. What is
on your mind?

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
Elizabeth? What's going on? Thanks for being a member?

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Oh hi, Charlie, are you able to hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
How are you?

Speaker 17 (01:11:18):
And well, thank you so much for everything that you do.
The reason that I was calling, there's been so much
good news lately, it's actually really difficult to keep up. Yes,
but I did see an article that I would think
would have gotten more attention about John Eastman's trial in Arizona,
and that the judge actually.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Went and.

Speaker 17 (01:11:43):
Issued the judgment against Chris Mays and that they were
covered under freedom of speech and she violated the Slap Act,
which is basically political persecution, which I.

Speaker 9 (01:11:55):
Thought was huge.

Speaker 17 (01:11:56):
And I know that one of our beloved Turning Point
us A team members who does so much for everybody
here is possibly Tyler's involved in that somewhat, and I'm hoping, A,
is this good news for him? And then b can
Cash tell start going after these political persecutions from these
attorney generals in the.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
States, great great questions.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
So, yes, this is looking more and more like the defendants,
Tyler Boyer being one of them, and John Eastman are
being targeted obviously for political reasons. You and I both
know that, Elizabeth. I mean, it's just so outrageous. Oh yeah,
the development. So this is a very favorable ruling. Some
legal experts think that this case could be dismissed altogether. Yes,

(01:12:38):
Cash Ptel could potentially go after it. Probably not a
lot of meat on that bone from the surface. The
better way to go after this is two ways I
think that a civil lawsuit by the Department of Justice
for increased law fare, and the same lawsuits that we're
seeing in New York against Chris Mays saying that you've
ignored illegal migrants and you prioritize political prosecutions, that could

(01:12:59):
be one. And then finally, Elizabeth, we need to find
a really good Attorney general candidate and just retire Chris Mays.
She only has like a year and a half left
of her term, and the Department of Justice should be
demanding every email in existence from these people. Sunlight destroys
these cockroaches. God bless you, Elizabeth, Thank you for being
a member. We'll be right back.

Speaker 20 (01:13:28):
Terrence Bates here with your real America's Voice news break.
Thanks so much for being here with us. Hamas is
out with the names of the three hostages said to
be released tomorrow under the terms of the current cease
fire deal with Israel. The group includes American Israeli Sgui
Da Kel Chen. Interestingly, the three people scheduled to be
released are all dual citizens, but Chen is the only

(01:13:50):
one that ties to the United States. If the trio
isn't released Saturday, Israel says it will resume its attacks
on Gazen Hamas. The warning coming after Hamas said that
it was poning the release of the hostages amid accusations
that Israel had violated the ceasefire agreement. President Trump then
stepped in, though with the warning too Hama, saying the
ceasefire should end if the hostages aren't brought home Saturday.

(01:14:14):
Under the deal, thirty three hostages should be released during
the first six weeks of the ceasefire. In return, Israel
will allow nineteen hundred Palestinian prisoners and detainees that were
held in Israel to go. Two of the President Trump's
most controversial cabinet nominees are confirmed, sworn in and on
the job this morning. A third FBI director pick, Cash Mattel,

(01:14:37):
could win confirmation before the full Senate as soon as today,
but it likely will happen sometime next week. The Senate
Judiciary advanced his bid to lead the bureau on Thursday
with the twelve to ten vote. In the meantime, the
country's new Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
was sworn in Thursday during a brief ceremony in the
Oval Office. He doubled down on his promise to improve

(01:14:59):
the country's food standards in the office that his uncle
once occupied as president. By the way, President Trump's Education
Secretary nominee Linda McMahon also sat for a confirmation hearing
on Thursday. Her job may be short lived, though, if
President Trump has his way, as he is looking to
do away with the Department of Education. Well, folks said

(01:15:19):
as a new day and a new executive order for
President Trump. In fact, as we speak, he is scheduled
to be signing one of those new eos this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Though.

Speaker 20 (01:15:28):
A lot of buzz about the President following through on
his promise of reciprocal tariffs with the country's trade partners.
After signing an EO on reciprocal tariffs Thursday, the Commander
in Chief immediately trotted out the new policy before India's
Prime Minister during talks in the White House, and Vice
President J. D. Vance likely will have to answer some
questions and have some conversations about the new trade policy

(01:15:50):
as well while meeting with other world leaders in Munich
this weekend.

Speaker 8 (01:15:54):
That's a great checking out.

Speaker 16 (01:16:07):
From the campus to the car, the bullhorn to the microphone.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
It's the Charlie Kirk Show.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
I think someone's trying to troll me. They got Lord
of the Rings on in one of my screens. Was
that planted intentionally? I got eyeballs on the whole thing.
There's a little Easter Egg on Friday. I was like,
is this a commercial? Or what the heck is going
on here? I think is number two Lord of the

(01:16:37):
Rings the two Towers. I knew that they were doing
something here. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Let's
see what we have here now. I want to watch
it now. I'm going to be looking at the screen
and Lord of the Rings the whole time. Hillsdale College

(01:18:04):
What's on your mind?

Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
Hey, Charlie, can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
What is on your mind?

Speaker 9 (01:18:10):
Awesome?

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:18:11):
So cabinet cabinet confirmations are coming to a close. That's
been awesome, and we should start to see more mid
level politicals being slaughtered into place. What's the chance of
people with active licenses and certifications being slaughtered into those
management rules? Because for reference, I've been a truck driver
for six years, and as far as I know.

Speaker 9 (01:18:32):
There is no work.

Speaker 11 (01:18:34):
There's no one at the FMCSA, which is the federal
organization that.

Speaker 9 (01:18:40):
Regulated truck driving.

Speaker 11 (01:18:41):
No one there has an active cdo they're trying to
regulate stuff they've never done.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Okay, so let me just make sure I just send
this correctly. So with the cabinet confirmations that are closing,
when when are we going to start seeing more people
slotted in those mid level management It's a good question,
do you know if that's a pull that's a Senate
confirmation political appointment, or is that is that someone that
is a what they call a pass someone that's a
presidential appointed. Do you know that it would requires Senate

(01:19:09):
confirmation or that.

Speaker 11 (01:19:11):
As far as I know, most of them don't. Yep,
So it should just be a presidential appointment. From what
I understood reading reading through the material prior to the election,
most of those things don't require a presidential appointment.

Speaker 9 (01:19:25):
Most of those things don't require us Senate confirmation.

Speaker 11 (01:19:28):
It's just infuriating being being a member of the trades
and half the stuff they're coming down. You know, the
ATA doesn't have it's a bunch of truck company owners
trying to tell drivers, hey, this is what we think
would be best for us, and most of us like
a lot of the rules I work under, I'm working

(01:19:51):
there are less of that. They don't do as much
to help me as they do. I have to work
around them, if that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
It does make sense. So well, first of all, if
you have if you have a recommendation, I'm always happy
to pass something along. But the current director seems to
be someone by the name of Sue Lawless. I'm guessing
that is a carryover. Yeah, in August of twenty twenty three.
So let me just tell you from my short experience
just looking at how this personnel stuff and the personnel

(01:20:18):
team's doing a great job. Sergio is doing amazing. As
a friend of mine, he's doing an amazing job. There
are so many boards and commissions, Michael, beyond anything that
we could imagine. I mean, there are thousands of these
boards and commissions. I'll be honest, I've never heard of
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. So can you just
educate the audience what does this board do? What is

(01:20:39):
the significance of this board in your life?

Speaker 11 (01:20:42):
All the eighteen wheelers you see on the road hauling
all your goods across the country.

Speaker 9 (01:20:47):
That is our governing body.

Speaker 11 (01:20:49):
They fall directly under the Department of Transportation, and they
govern everything from how I get my CEO, what I
had to go through to get my has MATT certification,
and who's allowed to have a cdo to begin with,
all of the weight and height restrictions, uh, the hours
of service I have to work under.

Speaker 9 (01:21:10):
They govern all of that.

Speaker 11 (01:21:12):
Everything that has to do if it touches the truck,
they govern it. And everything that has to do with
getting your goods from point A to point B, whether
it be daycab, your fuel, all of it go.

Speaker 9 (01:21:25):
Through those guys.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
And so I'm just I'm just curious to deal with
and I want you to I hope, I hope the
audience understands there's thousand of these boards that touch every
single form of American life. What could be done better
with this agency? Just to educate our audience, I'm curious.
I've never even heard of this agency.

Speaker 11 (01:21:41):
We need people that have driven trucks to be in
these agencies because as far as I know right now,
the FMCSA has no one there. They're all career bureaucrats.
That have never actually been in the field. I mean,
go go back to like Don Junior. I I remember
reading his book. He's he can he can parallel park

(01:22:03):
a dozer?

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Yes, he can.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Okay, yep.

Speaker 11 (01:22:06):
When you have that level of of boots on the
ground experience, even yourself, you still go out and do
debates with college students.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 9 (01:22:15):
When you have that level of boots on the ground,
you make different decisions.

Speaker 11 (01:22:17):
When you're in the upper level, im because you know
exactly what it's like to be on the ground. We
don't have that at the FMCSAY and quite frankly, most
of the governing bodies in the government don't have that
at all because people who are too busy doing the
job don't have time to make it to these meetings
or do anything else like that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
I think there is such wisdom of what you're saying
that we are being governed by the suits and they
forget what actually it takes for the boots to do
their job. And I mean, put Sue Lawless up on.
I have no idea if she's driven a truck before
could put two forty nine up I'm guessing she hasn't.
Just kind of a.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
Guess I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:22:55):
Maybe as far as I know, she hasn't. Yeah, like
I don't know management experience, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Yeah, so she has twenty years experience in the private
and federal motor carrity safety industry, but that doesn't mean
anything to me, Like, for example, the new head of
the FAA should be a previous pilot, should be some
of them understands what it means to flying airplane, flying
aircraft and so exactly great question. If you want to
email me a follow up, I think it would be,
you know, happy to learn more about it. But there

(01:23:21):
are thousands of these boards, and I think actually having
people that have done the job in intimately is incredibly important.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
Thanks man, really appreciate it. Thanks for bring the mems right.
That's right. Freedom At charliekirk dot com. I read every single.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
Of the emails.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
I don't respond to them all, but I read them all.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
So thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:23:37):
Awesome, we'll do. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
What great questions we have today. You gotta love this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
Guys that drive trucks that are members of the Charlie
Kirks Show. I mean, that's what makes America a great country.
I meant to ask him I'm very worried about mass
automation of trucks, not because of efficiency.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
What's going to happen to all these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
I think it's a it's a serious problem of economic
and labor displacement. This is a looming it's a looming
labor crisis, and I don't know a good solution.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Blake probably has one. He has a thought on everything.

Speaker 7 (01:24:06):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
It is gonna be one of the greatest economic disruptions,
and it's it's been kind of teased for a couple
of years now. But based on where Uber is going,
because they have Uber Freight, based on where Tesla is going,
we're going to see mass proliferation of automated semi trucks.

(01:24:27):
I do think though, that President Trump is going to
slow that down. I'm worried about that. Yeah, not everything's
all about automation. You got to have an allegiance to
your workers. Yet you can't. You can't automate too quickly
because you know why. This is where Teddy Roosevelt was brilliant.

(01:24:47):
Teddy Roosevelt, unlike the Russians, he managed the transition from
the farms to the factories. Teddy Roosevelt manage that transition
the rush, primarily Czar Nicholas of the Romanov family. They
did not manage that transition. If you don't manage major

(01:25:10):
economic transitions.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
So we go from the farms to their factories, to
our laptops to AI. That is the four to automation.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
So farms, factories, laptops, automation, that's the four steps of
human economy, economic development. It's a four step move farms, factories, laptops, automation,
and all of a sudden, we're gonna start to automate
these trucks. I'm worried about it. I think we're gonna
have the people that make America work. And by the way,
they're the ones that worked all through COVID. These truck drivers,

(01:25:38):
they worked their tailoff make sure that we had groceries
and we had Amazon delivery while the whole country was
locked down. I'm very worried about it. And the ones
that revolted against Trudeau, they're very maga and we're just
gonna say, oh, hey, here's your new robot. Now. I
understand the argument for safety. People do die every year

(01:26:01):
because of well, actually forty two fifty thousand people die
because of truck car accidents at least a couple thousand
do because of of semi wheel for eighteen wheelers. So
we've got to figure this out. But you got to
have a loyalty to your workers. Okay, Lizzie, thank you
for being a member members dot Charliekirk dot com. Hey Charlie,

(01:26:25):
how are you doing today?

Speaker 8 (01:26:27):
I am great?

Speaker 25 (01:26:28):
Thanks?

Speaker 8 (01:26:29):
Question for you?

Speaker 25 (01:26:31):
What is Trump's intention for the White House Faith Office?
I know so many of us pray for our nation,
for all of our leaders, and a prayer I pray
is actually the salvation of President Trump. Only God knows
his heart, but it seems like having a female joel
ostein providing him non scriptural garbage is not only damaging,

(01:26:53):
but it's a perfect example to me as false teaching.
It seems like Trump's in you know, he seems to
have the right intentions, but needs a little bit of
a godly course correction as it proclaimed Christian yourself, do
you feel the personal responsibility and really obligation to expose
and call out this what seems like wolf's in sheep's clothing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
So I know, Paula, so I'm a little bit conflicted
on that. She certainly does not have the same theological
view that I have, and I think that's good. I
think that's healthy. I should say that we have disagreements
on that, but for the record, I do not necessarily
share a lot of her theological views. I will say
though I've known Paula for a while, she's always been
very good to me, very sweet. I know that President

(01:27:37):
Trump and her have a great relationship. Here's where I'm
going to try to influence is the other pastors and
the other platform of people that are going to be
coming into the White House. I want to make sure
that some of America's best pastors are given a very
big platform, people like Jack Hibbs, people like John MacArthur,
and so, look, the President made a decision, it's his

(01:27:58):
prorogative to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
He's known Paula for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
And again I have theological differences with Paula, but we
get along, and I got to get along with everybody.
But I think it's very important that also people like
Jensen Franklin, who's terrific, are given the same sort of
wise counsel and platform that are able to be in
the White House. But very important question I could tell

(01:28:21):
you I get I'm getting a lot of emails and
a lot of text messages about the White House Office
of Faith right now.

Speaker 8 (01:28:28):
A lot.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
There's a lot of interest in that. But pray for me.
That's the best answer I could give to that. Also
is pray for me that I might have wisdom to
navigate all this. I think it's.

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
Important, So thank you, absolutely appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
Todd, thanks for ring. Remember what's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (01:30:14):
Charley?

Speaker 26 (01:30:14):
Hey, I understand that you think that. Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
What's on your mind?

Speaker 26 (01:30:24):
The abortion issue has been around. I've been there since
the beginning. I'm seventy one years old, and we have
we got a victory with the reversal of Rob Wade.
But why don't we use the way they began this
mess in the same way to get a better result.

(01:30:45):
We have all we have the court. It is a
national issue because I don't think murder is legal anywhere,
so it's not a state's issue. And we don't even
have to call it abortion. We just have to define murder.
And if we could get a person with the resources,
I think we'd have to get somebody like Rowe that

(01:31:08):
was used to.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
Get the decision.

Speaker 26 (01:31:12):
We have to find somebody with standing with the pockets
to go and use all of the evidence for life
to get it defined. It's not really abortion, it's a murder.
So if we define it as that, we can end it.
We can end it in the courts because we have
the court to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:33):
So I mean, look, I agree with that totally. The
issue is that not even most Republicans would sign on
to that. So it's going to take a lot of
cultural and religious and spiritual change in that regard. And
so I mean, I agree, but getting people to it.

Speaker 26 (01:31:49):
May I offer one thing. We've been doing that for
fifty odd years. What we need now is to find
a single person and say a father of why wants
an abortion. It is like they found a single person
with standing and go through all the events they it's
illegal to disturb a turtle's nest. Why because it's a
potential turtle.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Oh, I understand what you're saying. Yeah, but the courts
won't go along with it. The courts won't recognize human life,
they haven't. They'll dismiss the case. That So you got
to win over the culture. That's the that's the issue.
So but you should try the idea. You should try
that idea in a single state and see if it
will work, if you can get a sympathetic judge, maybe
in Texas or Iowa.

Speaker 26 (01:32:27):
Well, we don't have.

Speaker 8 (01:32:28):
To win the locals.

Speaker 26 (01:32:29):
We only have to win the Supreme Court.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
So the Supreme Court would rule, would rule like seven
to two against you on this unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
So yeah, really even with this court.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
Oh yeah, without a doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
Yeah, all right, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
I'm most surprised. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
You bet. Who's next?

Speaker 9 (01:32:44):
Scott?

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Thanks for being a member. What's up? Thanks for being
a member.

Speaker 19 (01:32:49):
Yes, Charlie, thanks for taking my question today. Just a
couple of comments before attended my first America Fest this
year with my twenty year old son, got five kids,
twenty six years of marriage, had a great time. Just
what an experience. And then two congratulations of media Eagle Scout.
I'm also an Eagle Scout. Keep it on the top
of my resume. So it's just awesome. So congratulations on that. Charlie,

(01:33:10):
I'm a physician. The American Medical Association has not always
been favorable to conservative causes. Do you believe that as
mandatory reporters, medical providers from nurses to physicians to myself
the staff members should be one of the next group
of individuals like sanctuary cities, law enforcement school what one second?

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
Okay, please repeat yourself. We had a radio issue here.
Can you continue, I'm sorry, repeat the last part of
the question. I'm sorry.

Speaker 19 (01:33:47):
Yeah, so again, Charlie, I'm a physician. AMA hasn't been
always favored to conservative causes. Do you believe as mandatory
reporters that the next group of individuals Ice and Tom
Holan should focus on to really be partner in finding
the three hundred thousand missing children across the United States.
They should be partners with the ICE because they're the
individuals that are seeking healthcare.

Speaker 8 (01:34:09):
These children are seeking healthcare for legal migrant criminals.

Speaker 19 (01:34:12):
What are your thoughts should ICE be involved in time
utilizing the mandatory reporter law for many of these providers.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
Oh yeah, I mean absolutely. I mean, if there's a
provider that is seeing a eight year old and it's
obvious that they're missing then or that they're with someone
that's not their parents, then they should absolutely report that.
You know. It's really interesting to me. There's this contradiction
where there are parents literally that get thrown into jail

(01:34:43):
for child abandonment because they let their kids play at
a local playground. So that culture is super worried about
a kid that might be unsupervised at a playground, which
is really bad by the way, for both the kid
and the parent. Free play is incredibly important for child development.
So that's the that culture simultaneously is putting up a
three hundred thousand missing kids.

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
Something doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
It's like this incredible, ever present contradiction here. So yes,
I think doctor should be involved. AM is awful, and
I think we got to find these three hundred thousand
missing kids. Thank you, Paul, Paul, Paul, thanks for being
a member. What's on your mind?

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
Oh Charlie, God bless you, Thank you, God bless you.

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
My question. Yes, I have okay, I've been listening to
your show.

Speaker 27 (01:35:29):
I love the bagpipes starting up and I looked it
up at Scotland the Brave Yes, Sir, I just kind
of wondered why you play this awesome song and I
wonder if it has anything to do with that famous
war c freedom.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
Oh it does.

Speaker 8 (01:35:43):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
I'm very Scottish.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
Church means Kirk means church in Scottish, in Scotland, and
the Charlie actually means strong, so strong church you can
put it together. We come from the Maxwell clan us Kirks,
and as you could tell, my name is very white
Anglo Saxon Protestant. I'm a wasp oooh scary Charles James Kirk.

(01:36:07):
That is the waspiest name that you'll come across. And yeah, look,
I think there's a lot to be learned from William
Wallace and the Scottish clans. That is obviously well portrayed
in the in the movie Brave Heart, acted by Mel Gibson,
which is a small ragtag army that I believe really

(01:36:29):
led to the birth of Western civilization. There's a phenomenal
book that everyone should read called How the Scots Built
the Modern World, and it shows that the small ragtag
army my people, despite being rather poor and geographically isolated,
was responsible for some of the great philosophical breakthroughs, some

(01:36:50):
of the Great Enlightenment breakthroughs, from David Hume to Adam
Smith to this idea of self governance. So much of
the Filmhilosophical Foundation of the West was born out of
Scottish Presbyterianism. Specifically, it was Covenanters basically, and so you

(01:37:11):
prior to the Fifth prior towards the King James Bible,
the Scots did not have mass literacy. As the King
James Bible was printed. I think in like fifteen thirteen
or fifteen seventeen, you guys can fact check me on this,
we saw literacy rates go up and the potential of

(01:37:34):
the Scots skyrocket, and this kind of fine fighting force
has has blossomed and flourished into a group of people
that have far punched beyond their weight. I mean, jd.
Vance is Scott's Irish. I'm Scott's Irish, so very very
powerful group.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
And I love.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
I love when people are proud of their ancestry and
the history they come from. And us Scotts, we love
a rebellion against a corrupt institution. I'll tell you there's
something about how we Scotts fight and we fight hard
and we love a good fight. It's in our blood,
it's who we are, and that's why we play Scotland

(01:38:19):
the Brave at the top so cool every show.

Speaker 27 (01:38:23):
I wonder, I wonder if during the Revolutionary War was
that song around, because I understand that the Scotts proudly
played their bagpipes.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
In probably own country's history too.

Speaker 2 (01:38:32):
It probably is, and it's a It's a beautiful part
of American history and how we transplanted a lot of
those ideas into America. And you can make an argument
the book does the Scots that built the modern world,
how the Scots built the modern world that without Scots
we would not have America in its current form.

Speaker 3 (01:38:52):
Thank you appreciate it.
