Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: August 14, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | August 14, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:02.459
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:13.803
- Yesterday we were in washington, dc.
- 00:00:14.604 --> 00:00:16.206
- I was able to stop by the white house
- 00:00:16.206 --> 00:00:17.807
- And see the president, which was amazing.
- 00:00:17.807 --> 00:00:20.276
- He's at the kennedy center right now
- 00:00:20.276 --> 00:00:22.145
- In phenomenal spirits, and he was just in a great spot.
- 00:00:22.145 --> 00:00:24.647
- He's like, you know, we're building the ballroom.
- 00:00:24.647 --> 00:00:26.583
- They're redoing the rose garden.
- 00:00:26.583 --> 00:00:27.884
- He is in his element and then
- 00:00:27.884 --> 00:00:30.653
- Just shuffled on up to new york city.
- 00:00:31.454 --> 00:00:34.157
- Got a couple hours of sleep and i was up early
- 00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:37.060
- At i think like 515.
- 00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:40.096
- And to go join squawk box.
- 00:00:40.096 --> 00:00:42.065
- I've known about the show for a while.
- 00:00:42.065 --> 00:00:43.533
- It just, you understand.
- 00:00:43.533 --> 00:00:45.502
- Squawk box might not be
- 00:00:45.502 --> 00:00:48.771
- A program that a lot of you in this audience watch,
- 00:00:48.771 --> 00:00:51.674
- But it is.
- 00:00:51.674 --> 00:00:53.710
- And this was confirmed based on a lot of messages i got.
- 00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:56.112
- It certainly is a drumbeat of a lot of the c-suite.
- 00:00:56.112 --> 00:01:00.316
- You could call it the ruling class.
- 00:01:00.316 --> 00:01:01.751
- I'm not even i don't even mean that pejoratively.
- 00:01:01.751 --> 00:01:03.786
- It certainly sets the tone for the markets
- 00:01:03.786 --> 00:01:06.022
- And the economic mood of the day.
- 00:01:06.022 --> 00:01:08.791
- It is a mood setter for markets,
- 00:01:08.791 --> 00:01:10.927
- And it was with one of the guys, andrew sorkin, who
- 00:01:10.927 --> 00:01:15.098
- I actually had a chance to meet a couple months ago.
- 00:01:16.132 --> 00:01:18.801
- We're on different planets
- 00:01:18.801 --> 00:01:19.836
- On certain issues, but he's fun and
- 00:01:19.836 --> 00:01:23.006
- I think
- 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.440
- Was actually a really good host,
- 00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:25.608
- And he asked challenging questions.
- 00:01:25.608 --> 00:01:27.010
- I actually love the challenging questions
- 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:28.845
- Because it
- 00:01:28.845 --> 00:01:30.079
- Provokes you and challenges you toward a better conclusion.
- 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.082
- And what was really important about this is that
- 00:01:33.082 --> 00:01:35.618
- Cnbc is certainly,
- 00:01:35.618 --> 00:01:38.154
- I might say, cnbc, but
- 00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:40.256
- Part of the opinions that are expressed on that
- 00:01:40.256 --> 00:01:42.125
- Program, again, great experience is more in
- 00:01:42.125 --> 00:01:44.928
- That ruling class, technocratic elite.
- 00:01:44.928 --> 00:01:48.765
- We come from the workers class, populist class.
- 00:01:48.765 --> 00:01:51.701
- I didn't go to college.
- 00:01:51.701 --> 00:01:52.702
- We represent the muscular class.
- 00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:54.771
- What i love,
- 00:01:54.771 --> 00:01:55.939
- I mean, this was probably one of the most poetic moments
- 00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:59.576
- There at cnbc.
- 00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:01.211
- You know, shake the hand. and joe kernan was a total stud.
- 00:02:01.211 --> 00:02:03.746
- He was awesome to work with and he's just great.
- 00:02:03.746 --> 00:02:06.916
- And you know who
- 00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:08.384
- Wants the selfies, the all the camera operators.
- 00:02:08.384 --> 00:02:11.087
- It was it was it was just like this amazing contrast.
- 00:02:11.087 --> 00:02:14.157
- It was the guys behind the scenes that make
- 00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:16.626
- It all happen
- 00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:17.827
- And understand the people that watch this program.
- 00:02:17.827 --> 00:02:19.362
- It's just it's
- 00:02:19.362 --> 00:02:20.463
- Ceos, analysts that control trillions of dollars.
- 00:02:20.463 --> 00:02:23.533
- So kind of going into that
- 00:02:23.533 --> 00:02:25.902
- Boxing, ufc, octagon
- 00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:28.571
- And holding down the populist nationalist
- 00:02:28.571 --> 00:02:32.442
- Vibe is not something they're used to
- 00:02:32.442 --> 00:02:35.979
- Like. 365
- 00:02:36.279 --> 00:02:38.648
- To the extent that you're like a, a mind
- 00:02:38.648 --> 00:02:41.451
- Reader of the president minds,
- 00:02:41.451 --> 00:02:42.986
- You know what, what people like to the business community.
- 00:02:42.986 --> 00:02:45.588
- How should the business community
- 00:02:45.588 --> 00:02:46.923
- Think about what he says versus what he's going to do?
- 00:02:46.923 --> 00:02:49.826
- This is not complicated.
- 00:02:49.826 --> 00:02:50.627
- He wants what's best for america.
- 00:02:50.627 --> 00:02:52.128
- It's not ideological.
- 00:02:52.128 --> 00:02:53.563
- And he wants what's best both for capital and labor.
- 00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:56.199
- And he wants the market to succeed.
- 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.167
- He wants wages to go up.
- 00:02:58.167 --> 00:02:59.402
- Tariffs have largely been used as two things
- 00:02:59.402 --> 00:03:01.471
- National security components or as revenue generators.
- 00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:04.641
- He has now created a third category,
- 00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:06.409
- Which is we're going to use it as a negotiation tactic.
- 00:03:06.409 --> 00:03:08.811
- And he has the whole world spinning.
- 00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:10.413
- And they're coming to the oval office
- 00:03:10.413 --> 00:03:12.448
- Wanting to get a deal done.
- 00:03:12.448 --> 00:03:13.850
- Wanted to come in to the us markets.
- 00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:15.485
- Remember in april when trump first announced liberation day,
- 00:03:15.485 --> 00:03:18.121
- Mark zandi, the chief economist at moody's analytics,
- 00:03:18.121 --> 00:03:21.457
- Predicted we would have an immediate
- 00:03:21.457 --> 00:03:22.859
- Recession is extending into 2026.
- 00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:25.361
- Donald donald miller, chief economist at strategist, said
- 00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:29.032
- That there was a 45% chance of recession by year end.
- 00:03:29.032 --> 00:03:31.768
- So how did turn out?
- 00:03:31.768 --> 00:03:32.902
- It turns out that once again, as we've seen many times
- 00:03:32.902 --> 00:03:35.438
- Of president trump, there was a lot of panic
- 00:03:35.438 --> 00:03:37.340
- Followed by nothing.
- 00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:38.908
- By may, the market was back
- 00:03:38.908 --> 00:03:40.376
- Where it was before the tariff panic
- 00:03:40.376 --> 00:03:42.178
- And now the s&p is at record highs.
- 00:03:42.178 --> 00:03:45.782
- And understand this,
- 00:03:46.249 --> 00:03:47.750
- That president donald trump has used tariffs
- 00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:50.186
- As a negotiating tool,
- 00:03:50.186 --> 00:03:52.055
- A negotiating tactic to bring people in
- 00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:54.957
- And to broker better deals for the united states of america
- 00:03:54.957 --> 00:03:57.527
- As leverage
- 00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:59.796
- And all of the experts, they seem to be so lost on this,
- 00:03:59.796 --> 00:04:03.399
- They lose the forest from the trees
- 00:04:03.399 --> 00:04:05.635
- And they focus on the minute details.
- 00:04:05.635 --> 00:04:07.503
- And that is why i said we need to rework the ruling class.
- 00:04:07.503 --> 00:04:12.241
- If you want to understand president trump,
- 00:04:12.241 --> 00:04:13.843
- You have to update your mental model.
- 00:04:13.843 --> 00:04:18.748
- On trump for 2025.
- 00:04:19.182 --> 00:04:20.817
- This is not 2018 anymore.
- 00:04:20.817 --> 00:04:22.218
- No. these excuses oh i don't know what trump's doing.
- 00:04:22.218 --> 00:04:24.354
- You know exactly what he's doing.
- 00:04:24.354 --> 00:04:26.122
- Donald trump is primarily doing one thing.
- 00:04:26.122 --> 00:04:28.624
- He is restoring the united states of america
- 00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:31.627
- For hemispheric hegemony,
- 00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:34.263
- Making us the geopolitical center of the planet.
- 00:04:34.263 --> 00:04:36.766
- He wants capital to flow in.
- 00:04:36.766 --> 00:04:38.401
- He wants goods that we make to go out.
- 00:04:38.401 --> 00:04:40.603
- He wants the border secure, and he wants a strong nation.
- 00:04:40.603 --> 00:04:43.773
- He can hand down.
- 00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:44.707
- The one thing the expert class has proven
- 00:04:45.608 --> 00:04:47.844
- They're experts on is being wrong about donald trump.
- 00:04:47.844 --> 00:04:51.848
- Pick up 366
- 00:04:52.181 --> 00:04:54.984
- Look, the question
- 00:04:54.984 --> 00:04:56.152
- From an economic perspective on tariffs
- 00:04:56.152 --> 00:04:58.154
- Is you may get collect the tariff on one end.
- 00:04:58.154 --> 00:05:00.656
- And the question is what happens
- 00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:01.624
- To the real economy on the other end.
- 00:05:01.624 --> 00:05:03.292
- And so far we have not seen and so far
- 00:05:03.292 --> 00:05:05.294
- We haven't seen it was a major like catastrophic prediction.
- 00:05:05.294 --> 00:05:09.165
- Right.
- 00:05:09.165 --> 00:05:10.266
- The panic in the whole world is going to fall apart.
- 00:05:10.266 --> 00:05:11.934
- And we just haven't seen that.
- 00:05:11.934 --> 00:05:13.336
- And i think there does need to be
- 00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:15.037
- A little contrition by the economic ruling class.
- 00:05:15.037 --> 00:05:17.740
- Like, hey, back when when we were saying
- 00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:20.410
- This was going to be the worst thing
- 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:21.677
- For the global markets ever,
- 00:05:21.677 --> 00:05:23.312
- It turns out what it has done is it recentered america
- 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:25.648
- As the as the center point of the world economy.
- 00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:28.518
- Did we ever get an apology?
- 00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:30.253
- And why are those people
- 00:05:30.253 --> 00:05:31.254
- Still being taken seriously on television?
- 00:05:31.254 --> 00:05:34.457
- Why are we still taking seriously
- 00:05:34.457 --> 00:05:36.092
- All the prognostications, the predictions,
- 00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:37.894
- And the calculations of the very same economic elite
- 00:05:37.894 --> 00:05:41.731
- That got all of this wrong,
- 00:05:41.731 --> 00:05:43.833
- Similar to covid, similar to ukraine.
- 00:05:43.833 --> 00:05:45.601
- In fact, i mentioned covid later.
- 00:05:45.601 --> 00:05:47.403
- That was probably my favorite moment
- 00:05:47.403 --> 00:05:49.639
- Where i go boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.274
- Of all the things that this technocratic class
- 00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:55.077
- Has gotten wrong.
- 00:05:55.511 --> 00:05:59.315
- It's right over israel's border.
- 00:06:00.016 --> 00:06:02.218
- There are thousands of christians and druze
- 00:06:02.218 --> 00:06:04.620
- Who are being targeted and killed.
- 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:06.522
- I'm going to close the door.
- 00:06:06.522 --> 00:06:08.191
- Your vision.
- 00:06:08.191 --> 00:06:10.293
- But for us, the fellowship cannot stand by and watch.
- 00:06:10.293 --> 00:06:14.430
- We are sending aid in.
- 00:06:14.897 --> 00:06:17.266
- Most of the world is oblivious to what's happened
- 00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:20.102
- To thousands of people who have lost their lives.
- 00:06:20.102 --> 00:06:23.739
- No food, no medicine.
- 00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:28.044
- We're standing in the middle of america
- 00:06:28.845 --> 00:06:31.714
- Who will be in the hands of jews and christians alike.
- 00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:36.419
- I'm proud of the international fellowship of christians
- 00:06:36.419 --> 00:06:39.422
- And jews to reach inside these most hostile territories
- 00:06:39.422 --> 00:06:43.059
- And save human lives, wherever it's needed.
- 00:06:43.059 --> 00:06:47.230
- We will continue to save lives of our brothers and sisters.
- 00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:50.867
- We will continue to give hope.
- 00:06:50.867 --> 00:06:54.103
- To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
- 00:06:54.103 --> 00:06:59.009
- To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
- 00:06:59.009 --> 00:07:05.382
- Look you got two options.
- 00:07:05.949 --> 00:07:06.884
- You can go maga or mangione ism.
- 00:07:06.884 --> 00:07:08.886
- You go maga or you can go mamdani ism.
- 00:07:08.886 --> 00:07:11.421
- You can go maga, or you can go muhammad ism.
- 00:07:11.421 --> 00:07:13.257
- It's very funny
- 00:07:13.257 --> 00:07:14.391
- How all the m's maga is the only option on the right.
- 00:07:14.391 --> 00:07:17.961
- Neoconservatives are not coming back.
- 00:07:17.961 --> 00:07:19.763
- The corporate oligarchs, we're not gonna let him.
- 00:07:19.763 --> 00:07:21.365
- So maga has cemented the world view of the american right.
- 00:07:21.365 --> 00:07:24.601
- But the left, we don't know.
- 00:07:25.202 --> 00:07:26.537
- It could go mad.
- 00:07:26.537 --> 00:07:27.337
- Gionee, which is the most extreme.
- 00:07:27.337 --> 00:07:30.474
- You could go mamdani, which is very, very extreme.
- 00:07:30.474 --> 00:07:33.210
- Or you got muhammad muhammad ism,
- 00:07:33.210 --> 00:07:35.112
- Which is just mutton, you know, muslim, islamic takeover.
- 00:07:35.112 --> 00:07:39.316
- Mom. dominique.
- 00:07:39.683 --> 00:07:40.918
- Mom. dominic's jack posobiec sent that doesn't i don't know.
- 00:07:40.918 --> 00:07:43.587
- I don't know how you pronounce that.
- 00:07:43.587 --> 00:07:44.655
- He sent that to me like, three times. mom. donnie,
- 00:07:44.655 --> 00:07:47.958
- It doesn't really roll off the tongue.
- 00:07:48.792 --> 00:07:50.227
- I don't know, jack.
- 00:07:50.227 --> 00:07:51.395
- I'm gonna have to talk about that one on thought crime.
- 00:07:51.395 --> 00:07:53.196
- Mom, mom. donnie nomics.
- 00:07:53.196 --> 00:07:56.366
- Mom. donnie nomics i don't know,
- 00:07:56.366 --> 00:07:57.734
- He's gonna have to win me over on that one,
- 00:07:57.734 --> 00:08:00.103
- Jack says, shaking my head.
- 00:08:00.103 --> 00:08:01.572
- You're the greatest, jack the sobek mom.
- 00:08:01.572 --> 00:08:03.607
- Donnie nomics
- 00:08:03.607 --> 00:08:05.909
- How's that?
- 00:08:05.909 --> 00:08:08.478
- You get reform or you get revolution.
- 00:08:08.478 --> 00:08:10.614
- We at maga want to reform stuff
- 00:08:10.614 --> 00:08:13.317
- Again.
- 00:08:13.317 --> 00:08:14.117
- This is my one piece of feedback
- 00:08:14.117 --> 00:08:15.953
- For conservatives, guys.
- 00:08:15.953 --> 00:08:16.987
- We have to be less ideological on economic stuff.
- 00:08:16.987 --> 00:08:19.122
- That means we have to raise
- 00:08:19.122 --> 00:08:20.090
- Taxes on the rich at some point.
- 00:08:20.090 --> 00:08:21.658
- Then that means we might have to do that.
- 00:08:21.658 --> 00:08:23.827
- All of those are going to be moderate, prudent
- 00:08:23.827 --> 00:08:25.996
- And very slight changes versus
- 00:08:25.996 --> 00:08:29.466
- A radical restructuring that we do not want.
- 00:08:29.466 --> 00:08:32.736
- You do not want that pick up. 388.
- 00:08:32.736 --> 00:08:36.607
- My worry about populism
- 00:08:37.107 --> 00:08:38.842
- Is and this is true on both sides of the populist
- 00:08:38.842 --> 00:08:42.145
- Situation, that effectively voters get lied to,
- 00:08:42.145 --> 00:08:45.148
- They get lied to about
- 00:08:45.148 --> 00:08:46.316
- What the politicians can actually do for them.
- 00:08:46.316 --> 00:08:48.986
- That's what populism actually is.
- 00:08:48.986 --> 00:08:50.721
- But the technocrats have been lying to us.
- 00:08:50.721 --> 00:08:52.356
- It's not like
- 00:08:52.356 --> 00:08:53.323
- This idea that populist like president trump's
- 00:08:53.323 --> 00:08:55.659
- The one that's actually kept his promises.
- 00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:57.327
- He said he's going to secure the border. and he did.
- 00:08:57.327 --> 00:08:59.329
- He said he was going
- 00:08:59.329 --> 00:09:00.297
- To appoint the people to the supreme court.
- 00:09:00.297 --> 00:09:01.865
- But i would just say beyond maddening is the thing
- 00:09:01.865 --> 00:09:04.468
- I want to caution your audience is
- 00:09:04.468 --> 00:09:06.003
- You're going to get mad joni ism.
- 00:09:06.003 --> 00:09:08.138
- You're going to get one off
- 00:09:08.138 --> 00:09:10.107
- Violent targeting of people with money.
- 00:09:10.107 --> 00:09:13.110
- If we do not rebuild the american middle class.
- 00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:14.778
- I think president trump is doing that.
- 00:09:14.778 --> 00:09:16.013
- The numbers show that.
- 00:09:16.013 --> 00:09:17.781
- Oh, you got a lot of you got a let it flow like we
- 00:09:17.781 --> 00:09:20.217
- Cut it off.
- 00:09:20.217 --> 00:09:21.018
- Let me tell you why that's important.
- 00:09:21.752 --> 00:09:24.154
- You know who was watching that?
- 00:09:24.154 --> 00:09:25.822
- Ceos of all the biggest companies around the country.
- 00:09:25.822 --> 00:09:29.826
- And they know about the mangione thing
- 00:09:30.661 --> 00:09:33.563
- In the back of their head.
- 00:09:33.563 --> 00:09:35.298
- They're like, boy, am i next?
- 00:09:35.298 --> 00:09:37.200
- And it's a dark, dark thing.
- 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.403
- Everybody. i don't want to let that
- 00:09:39.403 --> 00:09:40.303
- Country you don't let that come.
- 00:09:40.303 --> 00:09:42.472
- Political undercurrent underneath mad gionee
- 00:09:42.472 --> 00:09:46.109
- That cannot be ignored, that should not be dismissed.
- 00:09:46.109 --> 00:09:50.080
- And that political reality is that is on the american left.
- 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.417
- Here we are.
- 00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:54.651
- And we're talking about
- 00:09:54.651 --> 00:09:55.752
- Change in trade policy, maybe some tax adjustments.
- 00:09:55.752 --> 00:09:59.056
- We need to put labor back into the equation.
- 00:09:59.056 --> 00:10:02.192
- And again,
- 00:10:02.192 --> 00:10:03.393
- We're not we're not saying that labor should be the only
- 00:10:03.393 --> 00:10:05.629
- Factor.
- 00:10:05.862 --> 00:10:06.797
- But the balance between capital and labor
- 00:10:06.797 --> 00:10:08.932
- Is what teddy roosevelt was able to do
- 00:10:08.932 --> 00:10:10.467
- To transition us from the farms to the factories.
- 00:10:10.467 --> 00:10:12.736
- The balance between capital and labor
- 00:10:12.736 --> 00:10:15.138
- Is what dwight eisenhower did post-world war two.
- 00:10:15.138 --> 00:10:17.708
- With higher tax rates.
- 00:10:17.708 --> 00:10:19.042
- You cannot be ideological about this, because that's
- 00:10:19.042 --> 00:10:21.778
- Why i started donald trump wants america to win.
- 00:10:21.778 --> 00:10:25.615
- That is our guiding principle.
- 00:10:25.615 --> 00:10:27.551
- We want wages to go up.
- 00:10:27.551 --> 00:10:28.719
- We want home purchases go up.
- 00:10:28.719 --> 00:10:30.053
- We want church attendance to go up.
- 00:10:30.053 --> 00:10:32.155
- We want fertility rates to go up.
- 00:10:32.155 --> 00:10:33.523
- We want border crossings to go to zero.
- 00:10:33.523 --> 00:10:35.292
- We want deportations go up.
- 00:10:35.292 --> 00:10:36.493
- We want more people to treat their fellow
- 00:10:36.493 --> 00:10:38.195
- Countrymen as neighbors and not strangers.
- 00:10:38.195 --> 00:10:40.163
- We don't want men and female sports.
- 00:10:40.964 --> 00:10:42.265
- This is not ideological stuff.
- 00:10:42.265 --> 00:10:44.334
- And it gets portrayed
- 00:10:44.334 --> 00:10:45.435
- By some people in the media as being ideological.
- 00:10:45.435 --> 00:10:47.471
- If your primary guiding
- 00:10:47.471 --> 00:10:49.940
- Principle is american victory,
- 00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:52.809
- American victory overall,
- 00:10:52.809 --> 00:10:55.746
- Then all of a sudden you can proceed
- 00:10:55.746 --> 00:10:59.382
- And you can navigate from there.
- 00:10:59.382 --> 00:11:02.319
- You can then move forward. okay.
- 00:11:02.319 --> 00:11:04.254
- Then that's how we're going to treat things economically.
- 00:11:04.254 --> 00:11:06.890
- Let me play another piece of tape for my appearance on
- 00:11:06.890 --> 00:11:09.893
- Squawk box.
- 00:11:09.893 --> 00:11:12.796
- Pick up 387.
- 00:11:12.796 --> 00:11:15.432
- I have seen it.
- 00:11:15.432 --> 00:11:16.266
- See, he's 31,
- 00:11:16.266 --> 00:11:17.434
- So he hasn't been around to see a lot of these things.
- 00:11:17.434 --> 00:11:19.903
- I can show you five former republican presidents,
- 00:11:19.903 --> 00:11:24.207
- Each one in the media has the little hitler stash.
- 00:11:24.207 --> 00:11:29.012
- I can show you it on the current guy.
- 00:11:29.012 --> 00:11:31.348
- I can show it to you on w.
- 00:11:31.348 --> 00:11:33.483
- I can show it to you on reagan.
- 00:11:33.483 --> 00:11:35.685
- This has been the way it's been for years.
- 00:11:35.685 --> 00:11:37.988
- You know. you know this. you realize.
- 00:11:37.988 --> 00:11:39.823
- I mean, look,
- 00:11:39.823 --> 00:11:40.323
- I grew up,
- 00:11:40.323 --> 00:11:41.558
- I was like ten years old during the worst of the bush stuff.
- 00:11:41.558 --> 00:11:43.960
- But yes, i mean, i think it's i think you would agree
- 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.196
- It's gone to a fever pitch that we have not seen trump.
- 00:11:46.196 --> 00:11:48.865
- But people that are your age think,
- 00:11:48.865 --> 00:11:50.333
- Oh my god, this guy's the worst ever.
- 00:11:50.333 --> 00:11:52.269
- And and finally but i saw the same stuff with w
- 00:11:52.269 --> 00:11:56.473
- And with rick.
- 00:11:56.807 --> 00:11:57.607
- Let me ask you different question.
- 00:11:57.607 --> 00:11:58.542
- And with the wind.
- 00:11:58.542 --> 00:11:59.810
- In washington dc that cheap the police
- 00:11:59.810 --> 00:12:03.246
- Chief is a black woman by the name of pamela smith.
- 00:12:03.246 --> 00:12:05.515
- She joined the metropolitan police department on the dc
- 00:12:05.515 --> 00:12:09.386
- In may of 2022 as the chief equity officer.
- 00:12:09.386 --> 00:12:12.122
- During all the decreases,
- 00:12:12.122 --> 00:12:14.391
- She was assigned to the executive office
- 00:12:14.391 --> 00:12:16.560
- Of chief of police and she led the department
- 00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:18.495
- Effort on diversity, equity, inclusion.
- 00:12:18.495 --> 00:12:19.963
- She literally was the dti chief.
- 00:12:19.963 --> 00:12:22.165
- She developed an organization channel for department wide
- 00:12:22.165 --> 00:12:25.468
- Accountability by providing strategic advice for the mpd.
- 00:12:25.468 --> 00:12:28.538
- She is the dei chief to the police chief.
- 00:12:28.538 --> 00:12:32.075
- And oh, you wait here she is on camera.
- 00:12:32.876 --> 00:12:35.478
- Play cut. 358.
- 00:12:35.478 --> 00:12:38.281
- What?
- 00:12:38.281 --> 00:12:38.949
- The chain of command is now.
- 00:12:38.949 --> 00:12:40.684
- What does that mean?
- 00:12:40.684 --> 00:12:41.685
- Is it pam bondi speaking to the mayor?
- 00:12:41.685 --> 00:12:43.987
- Or how does this work?
- 00:12:43.987 --> 00:12:44.855
- So the executive order is clear.
- 00:12:44.855 --> 00:12:48.258
- The president has requested mpd services and her home
- 00:12:48.258 --> 00:12:52.596
- Rule charter, outlines the process.
- 00:12:52.596 --> 00:12:56.766
- Did you see that she had.
- 00:12:57.334 --> 00:12:59.202
- What does that mean?
- 00:12:59.202 --> 00:13:01.404
- She is the chief of police,
- 00:13:01.404 --> 00:13:03.206
- The number one cop in washington, dc.
- 00:13:03.206 --> 00:13:06.209
- And i know people are going to
- 00:13:06.209 --> 00:13:07.611
- Attack me relentlessly, but it needs to be said
- 00:13:07.611 --> 00:13:10.680
- This is die on display, this woman is a moron.
- 00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:14.484
- And people are dying in washington, dc,
- 00:13:14.484 --> 00:13:17.053
- And she does not know what a chain of command is.
- 00:13:17.053 --> 00:13:18.889
- But let's kind of go through the greatest hits.
- 00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:21.258
- You have a supreme court justice is a dti pick
- 00:13:22.225 --> 00:13:24.494
- A black woman who doesn't know what a woman is.
- 00:13:24.494 --> 00:13:27.797
- She says, i don't know what a woman is.
- 00:13:27.797 --> 00:13:30.000
- You have a police chief in washington, dc
- 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.902
- Who's a black woman
- 00:13:31.902 --> 00:13:32.903
- Who doesn't know what a chain of command is.
- 00:13:32.903 --> 00:13:35.572
- You have a fire chief in austin, texas, who is a dti
- 00:13:35.572 --> 00:13:38.308
- Pick who's only there because of an
- 00:13:38.308 --> 00:13:39.809
- Obama investigation through the doj,
- 00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:41.845
- Who doesn't know what a reimbursement is.
- 00:13:41.845 --> 00:13:44.981
- Do you see a little bit of a pattern here
- 00:13:44.981 --> 00:13:47.183
- That when you put people in positions, again,
- 00:13:47.183 --> 00:13:49.052
- This is not like an anti-black thing.
- 00:13:49.052 --> 00:13:50.487
- Everyone writes it up.
- 00:13:50.487 --> 00:13:51.121
- Charlie goes on racist enough.
- 00:13:51.121 --> 00:13:53.690
- This is a the death of meritocracy on full display.
- 00:13:53.690 --> 00:13:57.627
- You want. and to put this even further,
- 00:13:57.627 --> 00:14:01.131
- This is
- 00:14:01.364 --> 00:14:02.365
- Why black death is increasing in washington dc.
- 00:14:02.365 --> 00:14:05.368
- You don't know what a chain of command is.
- 00:14:05.368 --> 00:14:06.569
- What do you know what a dead black kid is?
- 00:14:06.569 --> 00:14:08.805
- Do you know what that is
- 00:14:08.805 --> 00:14:10.907
- Like? dead pandas?
- 00:14:10.907 --> 00:14:12.142
- What's the chain of command?
- 00:14:12.142 --> 00:14:13.176
- And then her answer, i want to play this again.
- 00:14:13.176 --> 00:14:14.778
- It's kind of that, like, what do you mean,
- 00:14:14.778 --> 00:14:17.180
- Kind of like that attitude.
- 00:14:17.180 --> 00:14:18.381
- Like, i'm smarter than you or what do you mean, racist?
- 00:14:18.381 --> 00:14:22.319
- Listen carefully in slow motion.
- 00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:24.754
- Let's watch the replay here.
- 00:14:24.754 --> 00:14:27.223
- Play cut 358.
- 00:14:27.223 --> 00:14:29.059
- This is the number one cop in washington, dc.
- 00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:32.462
- It's a legitimate question.
- 00:14:32.462 --> 00:14:34.965
- Just so we are clear, di incompetence
- 00:14:34.965 --> 00:14:37.867
- Led to dead black kids.
- 00:14:38.368 --> 00:14:41.237
- This is more than a legitimate question.
- 00:14:42.072 --> 00:14:43.840
- What not what is that?
- 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.309
- Die? let me be clear.
- 00:14:46.810 --> 00:14:48.311
- Some media matters can write this crisply.
- 00:14:48.311 --> 00:14:50.280
- So the other stenographers of the show
- 00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:52.716
- That work for the independent and work for all of those rags
- 00:14:52.716 --> 00:14:55.719
- That nobody reads, can get my words perfectly.
- 00:14:55.719 --> 00:14:58.054
- The charlie kirk show stenographers need to get this
- 00:14:58.054 --> 00:15:01.491
- Die is contributing to black death in
- 00:15:01.491 --> 00:15:05.595
- Washington, dc and major cities across the country.
- 00:15:05.595 --> 00:15:09.332
- It's not the only reason, but die is
- 00:15:09.332 --> 00:15:12.002
- Indisputably making it worse.
- 00:15:12.002 --> 00:15:15.038
- Watch again of the head cop in washington dc not know
- 00:15:15.038 --> 00:15:19.776
- What a chain of command is like at 358,
- 00:15:19.776 --> 00:15:23.313
- What the chain of command is.
- 00:15:23.947 --> 00:15:25.248
- Now, what does that mean? what is it?
- 00:15:25.248 --> 00:15:27.584
- Pam bondi speaking to the mayor or or how does this work?
- 00:15:27.584 --> 00:15:30.520
- So the executive order is clear.
- 00:15:30.520 --> 00:15:33.890
- The president has requested mpd services and our home
- 00:15:33.890 --> 00:15:38.261
- Rule charter, outlines the process.
- 00:15:38.261 --> 00:15:42.132
- And muriel bowser to the rescue.
- 00:15:42.132 --> 00:15:43.800
- She has to go
- 00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:44.901
- Get her out of the way.
- 00:15:45.402 --> 00:15:46.403
- When you hire people based on diversity quotas
- 00:15:46.403 --> 00:15:49.406
- And explicit or implicit
- 00:15:49.406 --> 00:15:52.275
- Dei, you get incompetence, corruption,
- 00:15:52.275 --> 00:15:54.411
- And lower standards.
- 00:15:54.411 --> 00:15:55.845
- So you got you got ketanji brown jackson,
- 00:15:55.845 --> 00:15:58.014
- Who is in arguably
- 00:15:58.014 --> 00:16:00.183
- Like the worst
- 00:16:00.183 --> 00:16:01.251
- Of the nine of the people on the supreme court.
- 00:16:01.251 --> 00:16:02.719
- People are laughing at her. they look at her legal briefs.
- 00:16:02.719 --> 00:16:04.954
- They're like, this stuff is a joke.
- 00:16:04.954 --> 00:16:08.024
- Michelle obama only got into princeton
- 00:16:08.024 --> 00:16:09.826
- Because of affirmative action in dc.
- 00:16:09.826 --> 00:16:11.895
- Christopher hitchens famously said that her senior thesis
- 00:16:11.895 --> 00:16:15.532
- Or equivalent at princeton university was like, barely.
- 00:16:15.532 --> 00:16:18.868
- Like, you can't even understand it.
- 00:16:18.868 --> 00:16:21.304
- So all that to say, again,
- 00:16:21.304 --> 00:16:24.507
- People died in texas because of dr..
- 00:16:24.507 --> 00:16:27.243
- He didn't understand her and and reimbursements.
- 00:16:27.243 --> 00:16:30.080
- And here she is again like a 391
- 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.683
- I'm just a,
- 00:16:34.017 --> 00:16:35.552
- Branch off of an old tree.
- 00:16:35.552 --> 00:16:38.254
- And i'm just that branch that's still standing.
- 00:16:38.254 --> 00:16:40.457
- And as the leaves fall off,
- 00:16:40.457 --> 00:16:43.193
- That's all i am.
- 00:16:43.193 --> 00:16:43.893
- Just. i'm just a tree.
- 00:16:43.893 --> 00:16:45.595
- And you know what i like about being a tree?
- 00:16:45.595 --> 00:16:47.330
- I'm glad god has chosen to use this tree.
- 00:16:47.330 --> 00:16:50.700
- I don't even know what that means.
- 00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:52.635
- Is that the full kamala coconut tree.
- 00:16:52.635 --> 00:16:54.337
- She's like the embodiment of the kamala coconut tree.
- 00:16:54.337 --> 00:16:57.540
- We can make fun of it.
- 00:16:58.007 --> 00:16:59.075
- The reason i'm being righteously indignant, though,
- 00:16:59.075 --> 00:17:02.011
- Is that our nation's capital is dirty.
- 00:17:02.011 --> 00:17:05.148
- It is dangerous, and it is murderous.
- 00:17:05.148 --> 00:17:07.517
- And the number one cop does not
- 00:17:07.517 --> 00:17:09.452
- Know what chain of command is.
- 00:17:09.452 --> 00:17:11.087
- That's like asking a surgeon what a scalpel is.
- 00:17:11.087 --> 00:17:13.523
- She's in the chain of command business.
- 00:17:13.523 --> 00:17:15.592
- Dea kills
- 00:17:15.592 --> 00:17:19.762
- I'm proud to partner with amac,
- 00:17:20.396 --> 00:17:21.931

- And believe in the core values of faith, family, and freedom.
- 00:17:27.537 --> 00:17:30.874
- While other senior organizations push a woke left
- 00:17:30.874 --> 00:17:33.343
- Wing agenda,
- 00:17:33.343 --> 00:17:34.577
- Amac is doing the real work holding washington accountable.

- Protect social security, defend election integrity,

- And push back against the radical policies
- 00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:45.288
- Tearing our country apart. and the best part?
- 00:17:45.288 --> 00:17:47.390

- Do it today.
- 00:18:20.004 --> 00:18:26.930
- Every
- 00:18:27.163 --> 00:18:28.198
- Generation has a choice to stand by or stand up.
- 00:18:28.198 --> 00:18:30.233
- Nearly 250 years ago, a 15 year old boy made that choice
- 00:18:30.233 --> 00:18:33.770
- On a battlefield.
- 00:18:33.770 --> 00:18:34.837
- Now, as america approaches a milestone anniversary,
- 00:18:34.837 --> 00:18:37.807
- Our friends at amac are calling on us to remember
- 00:18:37.807 --> 00:18:40.443
- What he fought for and to carry that torch forward.
- 00:18:40.443 --> 00:18:43.179
- Here's jonathan griffin with a special story.
- 00:18:43.179 --> 00:18:46.316
- Thanks, charlie.
- 00:18:46.716 --> 00:18:48.117
- Let me tell you a story.
- 00:18:48.117 --> 00:18:49.786
- It was 1776.
- 00:18:49.786 --> 00:18:51.921
- The revolutionary war was raging.
- 00:18:51.921 --> 00:18:54.524
- A young man named joseph plumb martin,
- 00:18:54.524 --> 00:18:56.993
- Just 15 years old, volunteered to fight.
- 00:18:56.993 --> 00:19:00.496
- In his memoir, titled memoir of a revolutionary war soldier.
- 00:19:00.496 --> 00:19:04.767
- He tells us that his choice to fight
- 00:19:04.767 --> 00:19:07.036
- Was not because he was promised money,
- 00:19:07.036 --> 00:19:09.205
- Not because there was fame or glory,
- 00:19:09.205 --> 00:19:12.041
- But because he believed in something.
- 00:19:12.041 --> 00:19:14.177
- He believed that liberty, real liberty, was worth everything.
- 00:19:14.177 --> 00:19:19.048
- As a result,
- 00:19:19.382 --> 00:19:20.483
- Joseph endured starvation, freezing winters disease.
- 00:19:20.483 --> 00:19:25.488
- He saw friends die next to him.
- 00:19:25.488 --> 00:19:28.191
- He once stood guard at valley forge
- 00:19:28.191 --> 00:19:30.293
- With nothing but rags on his feet. why?
- 00:19:30.293 --> 00:19:33.796
- Because he had tasted tyranny
- 00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:36.933
- And he had refused to pass it on to the next generation.
- 00:19:36.933 --> 00:19:40.503
- 250 years later,
- 00:19:40.503 --> 00:19:42.739
- We are the inheritors of that sacrifice.
- 00:19:42.739 --> 00:19:46.109
- We are the children of a revolution
- 00:19:46.109 --> 00:19:48.678
- That changed the world.
- 00:19:48.678 --> 00:19:50.947
- And what have we done with that inheritance?
- 00:19:50.947 --> 00:19:53.616
- We became the most powerful, most generous,
- 00:19:53.616 --> 00:19:56.719
- Most courageous nation in human history.
- 00:19:56.719 --> 00:19:59.989
- We built roads that spanned oceans.
- 00:19:59.989 --> 00:20:02.558
- We cure diseases.
- 00:20:02.558 --> 00:20:03.960
- We put men on the moon.
- 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:05.561
- We defeated fascism in europe
- 00:20:05.561 --> 00:20:07.697
- And communist ism across the globe.
- 00:20:07.697 --> 00:20:10.633
- We fed the hungry.
- 00:20:10.633 --> 00:20:11.934
- We freed the oppressed.
- 00:20:11.934 --> 00:20:13.703
- We welcomed immigrants.
- 00:20:13.703 --> 00:20:15.238
- Not with a handout, but with opportunity.
- 00:20:15.238 --> 00:20:17.940
- Yes, we've had our faults.
- 00:20:18.508 --> 00:20:20.410
- We're broken people. sinners.
- 00:20:20.410 --> 00:20:22.845
- Every one of us.
- 00:20:22.845 --> 00:20:24.247
- That's no surprise.
- 00:20:24.247 --> 00:20:26.349
- But even with all our scars, america has still been the
- 00:20:26.349 --> 00:20:30.119
- Single greatest force for good this planet has ever known.
- 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:35.224
- Today, the same forces of tyranny
- 00:20:35.925 --> 00:20:38.828
- That joseph martin fought against are rising again.
- 00:20:38.828 --> 00:20:42.932
- Only this time they're not across the ocean.
- 00:20:42.932 --> 00:20:45.968
- They're in our universities, our media,
- 00:20:45.968 --> 00:20:48.838
- Our own halls of government.
- 00:20:48.838 --> 00:20:51.407
- They want to erase our history, defame our founders,
- 00:20:51.407 --> 00:20:55.545
- And replace truth with ideology.
- 00:20:55.545 --> 00:20:58.681
- That's why amoc exists.
- 00:20:58.681 --> 00:21:01.284
- As we approach our 250th birthday as a nation, amoc.
- 00:21:01.284 --> 00:21:05.688
- The association of mature american citizens
- 00:21:05.688 --> 00:21:08.691
- Is proud to stand in the gap, to defend the constitution,
- 00:21:08.691 --> 00:21:12.795
- To hold washington accountable, to protect all americans
- 00:21:12.795 --> 00:21:16.632
- From being steamrolled by the woke machine.
- 00:21:16.632 --> 00:21:20.203
- We are not ashamed of this country.
- 00:21:20.203 --> 00:21:22.305
- We are proud of it, and we intend to fight for it.
- 00:21:22.305 --> 00:21:26.075
- As our
- 00:21:26.275 --> 00:21:27.076
- Nation marks 250 years of freedom,
- 00:21:27.076 --> 00:21:29.412
- Amoc is stepping forward with a powerful offer
- 00:21:29.412 --> 00:21:32.982
- Our lifetime membership.
- 00:21:32.982 --> 00:21:34.450
- Normally $500 is now just $250.
- 00:21:34.450 --> 00:21:38.554
- 250 years ago, patriots stepped forward.
- 00:21:38.554 --> 00:21:42.558
- Today it's our turn.
- 00:21:42.558 --> 00:21:44.694
- So join us.
- 00:21:44.694 --> 00:21:46.362
- Because as president ronald reagan warned,
- 00:21:46.362 --> 00:21:48.731
- Freedom is never more than one
- 00:21:48.731 --> 00:21:50.733
- Generation away from extinction.
- 00:21:50.733 --> 00:21:53.469
- It is not ours by inheritance.
- 00:21:53.469 --> 00:21:55.805
- It must be fought for
- 00:21:55.805 --> 00:21:57.173
- And defended constantly by each generation.
- 00:21:57.173 --> 00:22:00.510
- At amac, we're doing just that.
- 00:22:01.144 --> 00:22:03.746
- Now it's your turn.
- 00:22:03.746 --> 00:22:05.481
- Visit us and join us today.
- 00:22:05.481 --> 00:22:09.051
- And now back to charlie kirk.
- 00:22:09.685 --> 00:22:12.155
- America's right.
- 00:22:12.155 --> 00:22:13.055
- Our freedoms were earned by sacrifice,
- 00:22:13.055 --> 00:22:14.991
- And they must be defended the same way.
- 00:22:14.991 --> 00:22:17.160
- America is stepping up
- 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:18.327
- With bold leadership and a bold offer, a lifetime
- 00:22:18.327 --> 00:22:20.997
- Membership for just $250 to mark 250 years of liberty.
- 00:22:20.997 --> 00:22:25.101
- Visit america's to stand with those who still believe
- 00:22:25.101 --> 00:22:27.837
- America is worth fighting for.
- 00:22:27.837 --> 00:22:29.439
- That's a mcu's.
- 00:22:29.439 --> 00:22:33.176
- Every day brings a new
- 00:22:33.643 --> 00:22:35.278
- Headline questioning israel's right to defend herself.
- 00:22:35.278 --> 00:22:38.214
- But behind the politics is simple truth.
- 00:22:38.214 --> 00:22:40.149
- Israel security
- 00:22:40.149 --> 00:22:41.350
- Is possibly the most complex anywhere in the world.
- 00:22:41.350 --> 00:22:43.886
- On october 7th, we saw just how much depends
- 00:22:43.886 --> 00:22:46.422
- On the brave men
- 00:22:46.422 --> 00:22:47.590
- And women who are ready to act when every second counts.
- 00:22:47.590 --> 00:22:50.193
- Israel's first responders are the heroes
- 00:22:50.193 --> 00:22:52.495
- Who run towards danger, not away from it.
- 00:22:52.495 --> 00:22:54.897
- And even now, nearly two years later,
- 00:22:54.897 --> 00:22:56.699
- Israel is still under fire daily
- 00:22:56.699 --> 00:22:58.434
- With rocket attacks, border threats and acts of terror.
- 00:22:58.434 --> 00:23:00.970
- These frontline defenders
- 00:23:00.970 --> 00:23:02.071
- Need our help through
- 00:23:02.071 --> 00:23:03.206
- The international fellowship for christians and jews.
- 00:23:03.206 --> 00:23:05.741
- You can provide lifesaving emergency gear
- 00:23:05.741 --> 00:23:07.677
- That helps you keep them ready and protected.
- 00:23:07.677 --> 00:23:10.012
- Armored security vehicles, trauma kits.
- 00:23:10.012 --> 00:23:12.048
- Mobile bomb shelters. flak jackets.
- 00:23:12.048 --> 00:23:13.883
- Your support delivers
- 00:23:13.883 --> 00:23:14.784
- To help directly where it's needed most.
- 00:23:14.784 --> 00:23:16.452
- I fully support the fellowship.
- 00:23:16.452 --> 00:23:17.954
- It's one of a kind ministry that has my full support.
- 00:23:17.954 --> 00:23:20.389
- Go to ifk jorg right now and stand with israel's heroes
- 00:23:20.389 --> 00:23:23.926
- While they stand in the line of fire.
- 00:23:23.926 --> 00:23:23.926
