Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: August 20, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | August 20, 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 --> 00:00:15.071
Yesterday
00:00:15.371 --> 00:00:16.473
There was a lot that happened at the white house.
00:00:16.473 --> 00:00:18.174
President trump deserves
00:00:18.174 --> 00:00:19.476
Enormous and repeated and public credit.
00:00:19.476 --> 00:00:23.379
He does not have to be doing this.
00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:25.248
He's spending so much of his time
00:00:25.248 --> 00:00:26.783
And his political capital to now end his seventh war.
00:00:26.783 --> 00:00:30.920
By the way, if he did nothing, if you just did two things
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.323
And just went golfing the last four years,
00:00:33.323 --> 00:00:35.024
If he just ends wars and deports illegal criminal
00:00:35.024 --> 00:00:38.628
Invaders,
00:00:38.628 --> 00:00:40.730
That's legendary stuff.
00:00:40.730 --> 00:00:42.232
That's it.
00:00:42.232 --> 00:00:43.133
But he's doing so much more.
00:00:43.133 --> 00:00:44.100
He's getting woke out of the military die.
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.236
He is reinvigorating american economy.
00:00:46.236 --> 00:00:48.338
No tax on chips, no tax on overtime.
00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:50.874
And almost none of this gets into the mainstream dialog.
00:00:50.874 --> 00:00:55.512
Almost none of it.
00:00:55.512 --> 00:00:57.380
Seven wars.
00:00:57.380 --> 00:00:58.348
Could you even name this?
00:00:58.348 --> 00:00:59.349
India? pakistan? congo? rwanda?
00:00:59.349 --> 00:01:01.284
I think he ended one in southeast asia the other day.
00:01:01.284 --> 00:01:03.586
And how
00:01:03.586 --> 00:01:04.787
Is he able to end these wars with the threat of tariffs?
00:01:04.787 --> 00:01:06.189
And this is why liberation day was so important
00:01:06.189 --> 00:01:08.291
And the media misses it. honestly,
00:01:08.291 --> 00:01:09.893
Some people in the conservative movement missed it.
00:01:09.893 --> 00:01:12.195
Remember during liberation day,
00:01:12.195 --> 00:01:13.496
We told everyone, hey everyone, buy the dip.
00:01:13.496 --> 00:01:15.798
It's going to be okay. it's going to be a little shaky.
00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:18.101
Do you remember liberation day?
00:01:18.101 --> 00:01:19.202
President trump comes out with this big chart
00:01:19.202 --> 00:01:21.538
And people said he's a madman.
00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:23.239
What is he doing?
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.140
What president donald trump was doing was
00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:25.909
He was setting the world stage up for an expectation
00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:29.479
That he was willing
00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:30.513
To use the threat and the power of a tariff.
00:01:30.513 --> 00:01:33.583
And it was not just bluster.
00:01:33.583 --> 00:01:37.053
You see, that's why the tariffs had to be implemented.
00:01:37.053 --> 00:01:39.656
That is why that tumbling of the stock market, 1000,
00:01:39.656 --> 00:01:42.325
2003 thousand points was necessary.
00:01:42.325 --> 00:01:45.528
He needed to show that this was not just a bluff.
00:01:45.528 --> 00:01:49.199
So president donald trump, on liberation day,
00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:51.935
It was a shot heard literally around the world.
00:01:51.935 --> 00:01:53.670
There it is right there. thank you guys. great work.
00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:55.805
And everyone was freaking out and panicking
00:01:55.805 --> 00:01:58.474
And running around in circles.
00:01:58.474 --> 00:01:59.909
And they were losing their mind.
00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:01.644
And speaker mike johnson, who i really like, you know,
00:02:01.644 --> 00:02:05.615
Called them up and said, sir, people are panicking.
00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:09.786
And president trump says, i like that panicking.
00:02:09.786 --> 00:02:12.822
And the word panicking was born
00:02:12.822 --> 00:02:15.124
And people were running all over the place.
00:02:15.124 --> 00:02:17.193
And understandably.
00:02:17.193 --> 00:02:18.328
And it's not a criticism toward
00:02:18.328 --> 00:02:19.329
Speaker johnson because he was getting calls
00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:20.997
And calls and calls from business leaders.
00:02:20.997 --> 00:02:23.032
People were losing it.
00:02:23.032 --> 00:02:24.367
But why does it matter now?
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:25.735
Looking back in august, the market is up.
00:02:25.735 --> 00:02:28.171
We've rebuilt all those gains.
00:02:28.171 --> 00:02:29.672
If you would have just bought the dip or held,
00:02:29.672 --> 00:02:31.374
Your stocks are doing even better than before.
00:02:31.374 --> 00:02:33.509
All of our advice was correct.
00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:35.211
However, this is why it mattered.
00:02:35.211 --> 00:02:37.614
President donald trump set a groundwork for a new
00:02:37.614 --> 00:02:41.017
Mental model for a new working relationship with the planet.
00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:45.255
You see, the prior working relationship is america
00:02:45.255 --> 00:02:48.057
Had only certain tools at our disposal to be able
00:02:48.057 --> 00:02:50.760
To effectuate change and to be able to broker peace.
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:53.663
The tools at our disposal were diplomatic.
00:02:53.663 --> 00:02:56.132
They were angrily worded letters.
00:02:56.132 --> 00:02:58.101
That's what biden would love to do.
00:02:58.101 --> 00:02:59.502
Let me send you a worded letter,
00:02:59.502 --> 00:03:01.070
Because your gay pride
00:03:01.070 --> 00:03:02.205
Flag is not high enough in downtown seoul, south korea.
00:03:02.205 --> 00:03:05.141
How dare you not do gender affirming care in tokyo?
00:03:05.141 --> 00:03:09.646
I'm going to go send rahm emanuel, my u.s.
00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:11.581
Ambassador to japan, to go scold you japanese over time.
00:03:11.581 --> 00:03:16.619
The strongly worded letters in the diplomatic stuff.
00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:19.422
Now, there's other stuff that you could, you know,
00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:21.024
Remove passports and visas, but no, no, no.
00:03:21.024 --> 00:03:23.359
If you want to get down to the heart of it,
00:03:23.359 --> 00:03:25.361
The fact that the united states
00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:26.796
Is still the world reserve currency status,
00:03:26.796 --> 00:03:29.832
The fact that we are now reemerging as a superpower,
00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:32.635
The hegemonic western hemispheric dominance.
00:03:32.635 --> 00:03:35.171
President donald trump, then he said to the entire world,
00:03:35.171 --> 00:03:38.975
Even though the market went down,
00:03:38.975 --> 00:03:40.777
I'm willing to basically ruin
00:03:40.777 --> 00:03:43.313
Your entire economy if you don't play ball.
00:03:43.313 --> 00:03:46.582
Donald trump changed the incentives of war.
00:03:46.582 --> 00:03:49.285
Donald trump changed the incentives
00:03:49.285 --> 00:03:50.987
Of not playing along.
00:03:50.987 --> 00:03:52.655
And it is creative.
00:03:52.655 --> 00:03:54.023
It's bold. it's ambitious.
00:03:54.023 --> 00:03:56.059
And people thought he was just being a madman.
00:03:56.059 --> 00:03:57.760
Instead, it was the master at work.
00:03:57.760 --> 00:03:59.462
And that sets the table.
00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:00.763
Then for the russia ukrainian discussion.
00:04:00.763 --> 00:04:03.566
It sets the table for why europe comes in
00:04:03.566 --> 00:04:06.369
Very respectfully.
00:04:06.369 --> 00:04:07.403
Oh, yes, we love mr. trump.
00:04:07.403 --> 00:04:09.272
He's wonderful. he's so good.
00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:11.507
Please don't tell me, mr. trump. hey.
00:04:11.507 --> 00:04:13.910
Hey there smiley. i mean, you have macron.
00:04:13.910 --> 00:04:16.379
Idiots. is mr.
00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:17.447
Trump the very evil? he's a wonderful person.
00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:19.782
You know, you got the europeans.
00:04:19.782 --> 00:04:21.417
I mean, whatever president trump does, he points.
00:04:21.417 --> 00:04:23.853
They go a completely different working relationship
00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:26.789
Than trump. 1.0 not out.
00:04:26.789 --> 00:04:29.359
There's a lot of parts to it, but largely
00:04:30.226 --> 00:04:32.261
Because they've resigned to kind of his
00:04:32.261 --> 00:04:34.163
Alpha dominance of the west.
00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:35.832
But one of the
00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:37.033
Most important components that is lost on people is that.
00:04:37.033 --> 00:04:40.136
And look at this.
00:04:40.136 --> 00:04:41.037
He's just that classes in session, boys.
00:04:41.037 --> 00:04:42.872
You got italy, you got germany, you got finland.
00:04:42.872 --> 00:04:44.974
Boom boom boom.
00:04:44.974 --> 00:04:46.409
You got the uk classes in session.
00:04:46.409 --> 00:04:48.745
The teacher is is teaching take notes.
00:04:48.745 --> 00:04:52.982
That's nato.
00:04:53.316 --> 00:04:54.450
He's he's just commanding presence over all of nato.
00:04:54.450 --> 00:04:57.019
That right there that that the picture
00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.788
You showed previously that should be framed.
00:04:58.788 --> 00:05:00.890
And what is the profundity of that?
00:05:00.890 --> 00:05:03.092
One of the reasons why they are allowing trump to lead
00:05:03.092 --> 00:05:06.763
Is they are so afraid that president
00:05:06.763 --> 00:05:09.565
Donald trump could just drop the sword of damocles.
00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:12.068
Oh, nice auto industry you got there, germany.
00:05:12.068 --> 00:05:14.470
Be a shame if something happened to it.
00:05:14.470 --> 00:05:16.038
Follow my lead.
00:05:16.038 --> 00:05:17.039
Oh, french wine, mr.
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:19.008
Macron, do you want to keep on importing it to america?
00:05:19.008 --> 00:05:22.044
Then do it, then do my bidding.
00:05:22.044 --> 00:05:23.613
And they're all looking at the ukrainian war maps.
00:05:23.613 --> 00:05:25.381
So the context of how
00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:27.250
President trump is able to get these european elitists,
00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:30.787
The chaperons of zelensky, even into the table and willing
00:05:30.787 --> 00:05:34.090
To negotiate the context, all started on liberation.
00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:37.460
The mental model,
00:05:37.894 --> 00:05:38.861
The working relationship
00:05:38.861 --> 00:05:40.263
All started when president trump tanked the markets.
00:05:40.263 --> 00:05:42.498
Even though they're back to higher levels.
00:05:42.498 --> 00:05:43.766
I will now explain why that matters in the next segment.
00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:46.769
As we are now in the relentless pursuit of peace
00:05:46.769 --> 00:05:49.872
Thanks to president trump
00:05:49.872 --> 00:05:50.973
Setting the table earlier this spring.
00:05:50.973 --> 00:05:52.875
Despite all the criticism, we'll be right back.
00:05:52.875 --> 00:05:57.613
It's right over israel's border.
00:05:58.314 --> 00:06:00.516
There are thousands of christians and druze
00:06:00.516 --> 00:06:02.919
Who are being targeted and killed.
00:06:02.919 --> 00:06:04.821
I'm going to close the door.
00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:06.489
Your vision.
00:06:06.489 --> 00:06:08.591
But for us, the fellowship cannot stand by and watch.
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:12.728
We are sending aid in.
00:06:13.196 --> 00:06:15.565
Most of the world is oblivious to what's happened
00:06:15.565 --> 00:06:18.401
To thousands of people who have lost their lives.
00:06:18.401 --> 00:06:22.038
No food, no medicine.
00:06:22.038 --> 00:06:26.342
We're standing in the middle of america
00:06:27.143 --> 00:06:30.012
Who will be in the hands of jews and christians alike.
00:06:30.012 --> 00:06:34.717
I'm proud of the international fellowship of christians
00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:37.720
And jews to reach inside these most hostile territories
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.357
And save human lives, wherever it's needed.
00:06:41.357 --> 00:06:45.528
We will continue to save lives of our brothers and sisters.
00:06:45.528 --> 00:06:49.165
We will continue to give hope.
00:06:49.165 --> 00:06:52.401
To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
00:06:52.401 --> 00:06:57.507
I'm terry hinshaw with 180 disaster relief
00:06:58.407 --> 00:07:01.544
Since 2013 and the moore tornado.
00:07:01.544 --> 00:07:04.847
We've been helping families in crisis.
00:07:04.847 --> 00:07:07.350
People who go through floods, fires,
00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:09.852
Hurricanes and all kinds of disasters
00:07:09.852 --> 00:07:13.022
With plans to lift the fallen
00:07:13.022 --> 00:07:15.591
In a world that's for the poor.
00:07:15.591 --> 00:07:18.394
Since the day after hurricane helene,
00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:20.329
We've had boots on the ground.
00:07:20.329 --> 00:07:21.898
It is so important
00:07:21.898 --> 00:07:22.832
Because there's
00:07:22.832 --> 00:07:23.666
So many families waiting right now
00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:25.501
That still don't even have power.
00:07:25.501 --> 00:07:27.270
They've lost all their furniture
00:07:27.270 --> 00:07:29.071
And they don't have the resources to rebuild
00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:31.741
Families finding shelter where there once was only pain.
00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:36.546
Our focus is to help people understand
00:07:36.546 --> 00:07:39.181
How much god loves and cares for them.
00:07:39.181 --> 00:07:41.784
That they would know that they're not alone.
00:07:41.784 --> 00:07:44.253
Go to the website at the bottom of your screen to give now.
00:07:44.253 --> 00:07:47.390
Every dollar makes a difference.
00:07:47.390 --> 00:07:49.759
Bringing hope in jesus name.
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.595
Together we can turn devastation into restoration.
00:07:52.595 --> 00:07:56.399
One family at a time.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.004
One family at a time.
00:07:58.004 --> 00:08:06.444
Okay.
00:08:06.678 --> 00:08:07.245
So that table is set.
00:08:07.245 --> 00:08:08.379
So president donald trump is leading the europeans.
00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:10.582
And by the way europe has been
00:08:10.582 --> 00:08:11.783
Searching for this leader for the last couple of years,
00:08:11.783 --> 00:08:14.519
And they deep down want the united states
00:08:15.353 --> 00:08:17.722
To be the superpower
00:08:17.722 --> 00:08:19.023
Because they have far more
00:08:19.023 --> 00:08:20.391
In alignment of values and worldview
00:08:20.391 --> 00:08:22.493
Than the chinese communist party.
00:08:22.493 --> 00:08:24.095
Now we risk playing our hand too heavy.
00:08:24.095 --> 00:08:26.130
That's part of it.
00:08:26.130 --> 00:08:27.165
If you antagonize the european leaders too much.
00:08:27.165 --> 00:08:29.033
But i think president donald trump has done the harsh
00:08:29.033 --> 00:08:32.003
Tariff lesson with a little bit of a charm offensive as well.
00:08:32.003 --> 00:08:35.139
You got moroni there.
00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:36.908
You got macron.
00:08:36.908 --> 00:08:38.209
Great working relationship with president trump.
00:08:38.209 --> 00:08:40.945
So all of that is the table set.
00:08:40.945 --> 00:08:43.548
Meanwhile, president trump just had a very important
00:08:43.548 --> 00:08:47.018
And warm meeting as well
00:08:47.018 --> 00:08:49.921
With vladimir putin.
00:08:50.388 --> 00:08:52.457
So the meeting goes yesterday and
00:08:52.457 --> 00:08:54.325
Mr. zelensky came far more
00:08:54.892 --> 00:08:56.427
Prepared for the meeting than he did previously.
00:08:56.427 --> 00:08:59.330
He said the right things.
00:08:59.330 --> 00:09:00.398
He was polite, he was cordial.
00:09:00.398 --> 00:09:03.601
He was respectful, full.
00:09:03.601 --> 00:09:05.036
He was very grateful.
00:09:05.036 --> 00:09:07.105
He dressed nicer.
00:09:07.105 --> 00:09:10.742
This was this was happening during our show yesterday.
00:09:10.742 --> 00:09:13.645
And we're going to go through some tape here.
00:09:13.645 --> 00:09:14.846
But now, you know, the table is set.
00:09:14.846 --> 00:09:17.281
Let's go to 350.
00:09:17.281 --> 00:09:19.417
Will zelensky continue to send troops to their death
00:09:19.417 --> 00:09:22.387
Or is he ready to end it?
00:09:22.387 --> 00:09:23.554
Like cut 350.
00:09:23.554 --> 00:09:25.123
President zelensky, are you prepared
00:09:25.123 --> 00:09:27.325
To keep sending ukrainian troops
00:09:27.325 --> 00:09:29.160
To their deaths for another couple of years?
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:31.129
Or are you going to agree to redraw maps?
00:09:31.129 --> 00:09:35.266
Thank you for your question.
00:09:35.867 --> 00:09:37.035
So first of all, you know, we live under each day attacks.
00:09:37.035 --> 00:09:41.272
You know, that today have been at a lot of attacks
00:09:41.272 --> 00:09:43.307
And a lot of wounded people and a child was that
00:09:43.307 --> 00:09:47.345
Small bomb one one year and a half.
00:09:47.345 --> 00:09:51.282
So we we need to stop this war to stop russia.
00:09:51.282 --> 00:09:54.352
And we need to support american and european partners
00:09:54.352 --> 00:09:57.989
And look at the balancing act
00:09:57.989 --> 00:09:59.323
That president trump has had to do here.
00:09:59.323 --> 00:10:00.758
So the liberation day set the table
00:10:00.758 --> 00:10:04.295
For why europe has come to the table.
00:10:04.295 --> 00:10:07.899
Now, what set the table for why vladimir putin flew
00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:11.169
Across asia
00:10:11.169 --> 00:10:13.504
To alaska?
00:10:13.805 --> 00:10:15.940
Well, that can be best explained
00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:17.842
In the hills of iran.
00:10:17.842 --> 00:10:20.778
The fact that president donald trump was able
00:10:20.778 --> 00:10:22.647
To show the american air force might fly all the way out
00:10:22.647 --> 00:10:26.651
And take out the iranian nuclear facilities
00:10:26.651 --> 00:10:28.920
That he was able to thread that needle.
00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:31.255
He was able to put on a masterclass.
00:10:31.255 --> 00:10:34.292
You see, vladimir putin said, oh,
00:10:34.292 --> 00:10:37.361
Got it.
00:10:37.595 --> 00:10:39.097
See, all they understand is force.
00:10:39.097 --> 00:10:40.765
And then president trump starts
00:10:40.765 --> 00:10:41.866
To feed more armaments to ukraine,
00:10:41.866 --> 00:10:43.835
Which again, we were not big fans of.
00:10:43.835 --> 00:10:45.436
But i always put the asterisk, if president trump
00:10:45.436 --> 00:10:47.505
Is going to send more arms to ukraine
00:10:47.505 --> 00:10:49.507
To get a peace deal, then i'm all for it.
00:10:49.507 --> 00:10:51.676
And we're going to have the confidence in president trump
00:10:51.676 --> 00:10:54.011
To be able to do that,
00:10:54.011 --> 00:10:54.979
Because he has more than earned our confidence.
00:10:54.979 --> 00:10:57.281
And nato bought the arms.
00:10:57.281 --> 00:10:58.750
And so it was a little bit different than joe biden just
00:10:58.750 --> 00:11:01.619
Asking the money
00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:03.488
Right into the ukrainian pension fund.
00:11:03.488 --> 00:11:06.290
But it's all about leverage.
00:11:06.290 --> 00:11:07.759
So president trump, if you look back like, wow,
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.495
If he's able to get this done,
00:11:11.095 --> 00:11:12.663
It did not just happen in an isolated moment.
00:11:12.663 --> 00:11:15.299
It happened from flying b-2 bombers
00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:17.635
All the way across the planet to iran.
00:11:17.635 --> 00:11:20.204
And also the tariff setup happened on liberation day.
00:11:20.204 --> 00:11:24.642
Let's go.
00:11:24.642 --> 00:11:25.476
This here this is president trump.
00:11:25.476 --> 00:11:27.712
This is ursula von der leyen.
00:11:27.712 --> 00:11:30.148
That's quite a european name.
00:11:30.148 --> 00:11:32.283
Ursula play cut 377 of ursula von der leyen.
00:11:32.283 --> 00:11:33.484
That's the two largest and biggest economies in the world.
00:11:33.484 --> 00:11:36.287
We had the largest trade deal ever.
00:11:36.287 --> 00:11:39.056
Agreed.
00:11:39.290 --> 00:11:40.158
And now we are here, to work together
00:11:40.158 --> 00:11:43.294
With you on the just and lasting peace for ukraine.
00:11:43.294 --> 00:11:46.264
Stop the killing.
00:11:46.264 --> 00:11:47.398
This is really our common interest.
00:11:47.398 --> 00:11:49.834
Stop the killing.
00:11:49.834 --> 00:11:50.868
And indeed, it's very good to hear
00:11:50.868 --> 00:11:52.303
That we're working on the security guarantees.
00:11:52.303 --> 00:11:54.505
Article five. like security guarantees.
00:11:54.505 --> 00:11:57.141
So important.
00:11:57.141 --> 00:11:58.442
But i want to thank you also that you mentioned that
00:11:58.442 --> 00:12:00.978
Thousands of ukrainian children that have been abducted.
00:12:00.978 --> 00:12:05.383
And as a mother and grandmother,
00:12:05.383 --> 00:12:07.485
Every single child has to go back to its family.
00:12:07.485 --> 00:12:11.389
This should be one of our main priorities.
00:12:11.389 --> 00:12:14.158
Also in these negotiations, to make sure that the children
00:12:14.158 --> 00:12:17.228
Come back to ukraine, to their families.
00:12:17.228 --> 00:12:19.564
Honestly, the most impressive part
00:12:19.564 --> 00:12:20.998
About ursula is just looking at this up. she has seven kids.
00:12:20.998 --> 00:12:24.936
Good for you, ursula.
00:12:25.436 --> 00:12:27.805
Not only are you the head of the european commission,
00:12:27.805 --> 00:12:29.674
But you have seven children.
00:12:29.674 --> 00:12:31.242
That is quite rare in europe.
00:12:31.242 --> 00:12:33.344
To have anybody with seven kids that doesn't
00:12:33.344 --> 00:12:36.914
Have the last name khan or the first name mohammed.
00:12:36.914 --> 00:12:38.983
So good for you, ursula.
00:12:38.983 --> 00:12:40.618
The ursula's of europe need to have seven kids
00:12:40.618 --> 00:12:43.955
Now. what was she saying there that is so important?
00:12:44.989 --> 00:12:47.091
She was basically saying, we need to stop the killing.
00:12:47.091 --> 00:12:50.494
And that is the main priority here.
00:12:50.494 --> 00:12:53.764
And then it sets the table for yet another meeting.
00:12:53.764 --> 00:12:56.567
You cannot
00:12:56.567 --> 00:12:57.735
Get to the third meeting if you didn't meet with putin
00:12:57.735 --> 00:13:00.037
And then you did meet with zelensky.
00:13:00.037 --> 00:13:01.272
7000 people dying a week.
00:13:01.272 --> 00:13:04.141
And if you want to have some hope,
00:13:04.141 --> 00:13:06.477
It's that both sides are saying they want to start to
00:13:06.477 --> 00:13:09.013
Stop the killing.
00:13:09.013 --> 00:13:09.847
So eventually they're going to break
00:13:09.847 --> 00:13:11.382
And hopefully come to some negotiated settlement.
00:13:11.382 --> 00:13:13.885
We hope.
00:13:13.885 --> 00:13:15.586
Let's play this one here.
00:13:16.153 --> 00:13:17.521
Let's play cut.
00:13:17.521 --> 00:13:18.890
374 it's president trump's closing remarks again.
00:13:18.890 --> 00:13:22.426
He is the ceo.
00:13:22.426 --> 00:13:23.761
He is the managing director of this entire thing.
00:13:23.761 --> 00:13:26.831
Only the united states of america could end this.
00:13:26.831 --> 00:13:29.333
Only.
00:13:29.333 --> 00:13:31.035
And he deserves enormous moral credit
00:13:31.035 --> 00:13:34.238
For inserting himself.
00:13:34.705 --> 00:13:37.008
7000 people dying a week for what?
00:13:37.008 --> 00:13:40.444
What what is the objective?
00:13:41.045 --> 00:13:43.414
He is acting as the chief executive officer
00:13:43.414 --> 00:13:47.084
Of the western world.
00:13:47.084 --> 00:13:49.654
Play 374.
00:13:49.654 --> 00:13:51.889
We're going to solve this.
00:13:51.889 --> 00:13:52.924
Or is this horrible fighting going to continue?
00:13:52.924 --> 00:13:55.826
We'll do the best to get it ended.
00:13:55.826 --> 00:13:58.696
And, i believe you have two willing parties,
00:13:58.696 --> 00:14:01.599
And usually that's good news.
00:14:01.599 --> 00:14:02.867
But two willing parties that want to make a deal,
00:14:02.867 --> 00:14:05.469
And we'll journey together and we'll go over
00:14:05.469 --> 00:14:08.239
And we'll see if it can be done.
00:14:08.239 --> 00:14:10.775
And it's possible it might not be able to be done.
00:14:10.775 --> 00:14:14.011
On the other hand, it's possible it will, it
00:14:14.011 --> 00:14:15.913
Going to save thousands and thousands of lives a week.
00:14:15.913 --> 00:14:19.283
And so is something we really have to do.
00:14:19.283 --> 00:14:22.086
And or at least we have to give it our best
00:14:22.086 --> 00:14:24.355
To all you can do.
00:14:24.355 --> 00:14:25.156
You can give it your best,
00:14:25.156 --> 00:14:26.357
But i think we may have a very good outcome.
00:14:26.357 --> 00:14:28.359
By the way, people always say all the time, always.
00:14:28.359 --> 00:14:30.428
President trump isn't presidential.
00:14:30.428 --> 00:14:32.096
That right there that 40s what could be more
00:14:32.096 --> 00:14:34.765
Presidential than that?
00:14:34.765 --> 00:14:36.667
What could be more
00:14:37.101 --> 00:14:38.035
Presidential than weighing the human cost?
00:14:38.035 --> 00:14:40.404
Establishing your perspective
00:14:40.404 --> 00:14:43.441
And the balance because you can't
00:14:43.441 --> 00:14:44.942
Overly antagonize vladimir putin.
00:14:44.942 --> 00:14:46.877
You see,
00:14:46.877 --> 00:14:47.945
You can't overly antagonize the russian federation
00:14:47.945 --> 00:14:50.548
Because russia gets a vote here as well.
00:14:50.548 --> 00:14:53.684
This is now we have this year,
00:14:53.684 --> 00:14:56.654
Hopefully that will allow us to get to a trilateral meeting.
00:14:56.654 --> 00:15:00.524
Here is susan rice,
00:15:00.992 --> 00:15:03.661
Who was obama's national security advisor,
00:15:03.661 --> 00:15:07.298
Reacting to president trump's masterclass
00:15:07.298 --> 00:15:11.068
Of bringing both parties to the table,
00:15:11.068 --> 00:15:13.971
Being able to satisfy the europeans very positively,
00:15:13.971 --> 00:15:17.174
Keeping putin and his entire camp warm
00:15:17.174 --> 00:15:19.643
Enough to bring him to a third meeting here.
00:15:19.643 --> 00:15:22.546
Susan rice play cut 362.
00:15:22.546 --> 00:15:25.116
Total fraud.
00:15:25.116 --> 00:15:26.350
Instead of doing the things that would strengthen
00:15:26.350 --> 00:15:29.754
The ukrainian, western, nato, u.s,
00:15:29.754 --> 00:15:33.624
Partnership,
00:15:33.958 --> 00:15:35.326
On their side of the table against putin.
00:15:35.326 --> 00:15:38.029
He is rolling out the red carpet doing military
00:15:38.029 --> 00:15:41.665
Flyovers, giving him a ride in the presidential limousine,
00:15:41.665 --> 00:15:45.102
And, and getting none of what
00:15:45.102 --> 00:15:47.505
He went to alaska to get no cease fire,
00:15:47.505 --> 00:15:50.408
No imposition of tough consequences and sanctions.
00:15:50.408 --> 00:15:54.111
It was, as i said earlier, was just melting.
00:15:54.111 --> 00:15:56.814
Susan rice, please come on our show.
00:15:56.814 --> 00:15:59.016
You're welcome. you have an open invite.
00:15:59.016 --> 00:16:00.418
Any time, miss rice,
00:16:00.418 --> 00:16:02.319
We will allow you to answer uninterrupted.
00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:04.488
But we will ask you questions.
00:16:04.488 --> 00:16:05.656
I don't think anyone's ever asked you,
00:16:05.656 --> 00:16:07.058
Because we're going to have to reprogram
00:16:07.058 --> 00:16:08.659
Some of that muscle memory there.
00:16:08.659 --> 00:16:10.261
Rice participated in russiagate on december 9th, 2016.
00:16:10.261 --> 00:16:14.632
She was in the famous meeting.
00:16:14.632 --> 00:16:17.568
How much blame does susan rice
00:16:18.169 --> 00:16:19.570
Deserve for all those dead ukrainians?
00:16:19.570 --> 00:16:21.338
She has blood on her hands and president trump
00:16:21.338 --> 00:16:23.974
Is trying to clean up and stop the bleeding.
00:16:23.974 --> 00:16:28.245
She helped mismanaged the russia relationships
00:16:29.213 --> 00:16:31.816
That led us to this pile
00:16:31.816 --> 00:16:34.552
Of unnecessary carnage.
00:16:34.552 --> 00:16:39.757
Over the years, i've been clear about this.
00:16:40.658 --> 00:16:42.493
I'm not just pro birth.
00:16:42.493 --> 00:16:43.561
I'm pro-life.
00:16:43.561 --> 00:16:44.595
And being pro-life means standing with mothers
00:16:44.595 --> 00:16:46.497
Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
00:16:46.497 --> 00:16:49.333
That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
00:16:49.333 --> 00:16:51.802
Preborn doesn't just save babies,
00:16:51.802 --> 00:16:53.437
They make motherhood abundantly possible.
00:16:53.437 --> 00:16:55.339
They provide free ultrasounds and share
00:16:55.339 --> 00:16:57.141
The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
00:16:57.141 --> 00:16:59.710
And then they stay with real practical help,
00:16:59.710 --> 00:17:02.346
Including financial support for up to two years after
00:17:02.346 --> 00:17:04.882
The baby is born.
00:17:04.882 --> 00:17:06.050
This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
00:17:06.050 --> 00:17:09.086
Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
00:17:09.086 --> 00:17:11.322
And here's where you can make a difference.
00:17:11.322 --> 00:17:13.257
Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
00:17:13.257 --> 00:17:16.494
One chance for a mother to see her baby
00:17:16.494 --> 00:17:18.229
When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
00:17:18.229 --> 00:17:20.965
So don't just say you're pro-life.
00:17:20.965 --> 00:17:22.566
Live it. help save babies and support mothers today.

Or call (855)█601-2229 preborn.com/charlie.
00:17:40.007 --> 00:17:45.726
You've heard me talk about, and probably seen
00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:48.795
In the news stories
00:17:48.795 --> 00:17:49.930
Of the silent and devastating crime of title fraud.
00:17:49.930 --> 00:17:53.333
The fbi calls it house stealing.
00:17:53.333 --> 00:17:55.602
It's one.
00:17:55.602 --> 00:17:56.703
Criminals forge your signature file, fake documents,
00:17:56.703 --> 00:17:58.405
And literally transfer the ownership of your home
00:17:58.405 --> 00:18:00.440
Right out from under you.
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:01.875
We've had former fbi special agent on this program explain
00:18:01.875 --> 00:18:04.511
Exactly how it happens. but today is different.
00:18:04.511 --> 00:18:06.914
For the first time,
00:18:06.914 --> 00:18:07.714
They'll hear directly from a victim
00:18:07.714 --> 00:18:09.183
Whose family's home and hard earned equity were threatened
00:18:09.183 --> 00:18:11.985
By a fraudulent title theft,
00:18:11.985 --> 00:18:13.820
And how her nightmare finally had a happy ending.
00:18:13.820 --> 00:18:16.223
We'll also learn what you, as a homeowner
00:18:16.223 --> 00:18:18.559
And property owner, can do to protect yourself
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.661
From ever becoming a victim.
00:18:20.661 --> 00:18:22.129
Joining us now is title fraud awareness specialist
00:18:22.129 --> 00:18:24.898
Natalie dominguez. natalie.
00:18:24.898 --> 00:18:27.634
Hi, charlie,
00:18:27.634 --> 00:18:28.802
Thanks so much for having me here with you guys today.
00:18:28.802 --> 00:18:30.571
You know, we're here to talk about this
00:18:30.571 --> 00:18:32.039
Silent epidemic called title fraud,
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.941
Or as the fbi calls it, how stealing
00:18:33.941 --> 00:18:36.076
Title fraud is a crime under the real estate umbrella,
00:18:36.076 --> 00:18:38.845
Where criminals can take one document,
00:18:38.845 --> 00:18:41.682
Forged a signature, stamp it with a fake
00:18:41.682 --> 00:18:43.550
Notary stamp, pay a small fee at your county,
00:18:43.550 --> 00:18:45.686
And suddenly your home is no longer in your name.
00:18:45.686 --> 00:18:48.622
What that means is they can then leverage your home
00:18:48.622 --> 00:18:51.091
Ownership on record and extract your equity,
00:18:51.091 --> 00:18:53.894
Or even sell your home.
00:18:53.894 --> 00:18:55.329
The reason that this is a silent epidemic
00:18:55.329 --> 00:18:57.364
Is because it's happening right under people's noses,
00:18:57.364 --> 00:19:00.701
And most of them don't even find out about it
00:19:00.701 --> 00:19:03.136
Until it's too late, or they're getting a collection
00:19:03.136 --> 00:19:05.405
Or a foreclosure notice in the mail.
00:19:05.405 --> 00:19:07.174
If you are not watchful, you are the biggest target
00:19:07.174 --> 00:19:10.978
In 2024.
00:19:10.978 --> 00:19:12.079
The assistant director of the fbi
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:13.513
In the new york field office said that vacant property fraud
00:19:13.513 --> 00:19:16.250
Had gone up 500% in four years post-covid.
00:19:16.250 --> 00:19:19.753
And unfortunately, criminals
00:19:19.753 --> 00:19:21.188
And scammers are taking advantage
00:19:21.188 --> 00:19:22.956
Of everything being so easily accessible online nowadays
00:19:22.956 --> 00:19:27.160
And they are trying to take your equity from you.
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.130
And whether this is the
00:19:30.130 --> 00:19:31.398
Family home that you grew up in, or an investment property
00:19:31.398 --> 00:19:35.168
That has a bunch of apartments
00:19:35.168 --> 00:19:36.536
That you were the owner of, or if it's just
00:19:36.536 --> 00:19:38.672
A piece of vacant land that's been sitting there
00:19:38.672 --> 00:19:40.741
For ten years, it is a possible target of fraud.
00:19:40.741 --> 00:19:44.811
As a homeowner in america, most likely
00:19:44.811 --> 00:19:47.547
About 90% of your net worth is in your home.
00:19:47.547 --> 00:19:50.484
And the last thing that you want is a scammer coming in
00:19:50.484 --> 00:19:54.187
To ruin your entire financial future.
00:19:54.187 --> 00:19:56.857
Title fraud is very real.
00:19:56.857 --> 00:19:58.659
It's very scary. it's growing.
00:19:58.659 --> 00:20:00.927
But there's one way that i know how to stop it.
00:20:00.927 --> 00:20:03.096
With home title lock
00:20:03.096 --> 00:20:04.231
And their million dollar triple lock protection.
00:20:04.231 --> 00:20:06.700
Listen to jennifer washington story.
00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:08.335
She had an unfortunate incident where a member of her own
00:20:08.335 --> 00:20:10.504
Family tried to steal all of the equity in their home
00:20:10.504 --> 00:20:14.007
After a family member had passed away.
00:20:14.007 --> 00:20:16.209
She actually went into his filing cabinet,
00:20:16.209 --> 00:20:19.513
Took his deed, and she forged the paperwork
00:20:19.513 --> 00:20:23.283
To have his home deeded into her name.
00:20:23.283 --> 00:20:27.220
Home title lock has restored the home into my father's name,
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:31.024
And i haven't had to pay any legal fees for anyone.
00:20:31.024 --> 00:20:35.696
If you have a home, you need to get home title lock.
00:20:35.696 --> 00:20:40.100
And that's why we do what we do at home.
00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.568
Title lock. we are there for you.
00:20:41.568 --> 00:20:44.538
Our million dollar triple
00:20:44.538 --> 00:20:45.839
Lock protection does three key things.
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.608
First, we monitor your property 24/7.
00:20:48.608 --> 00:20:51.378
We are not monitoring your social security number
00:20:51.378 --> 00:20:53.947
Or your name or whatever it is.
00:20:53.947 --> 00:20:55.716
We monitor the property, which means that any changes
00:20:55.716 --> 00:20:59.086
Made, you are alerted.
00:20:59.086 --> 00:21:00.721
And that's number two.
00:21:00.721 --> 00:21:01.955
Urgent alerts.
00:21:01.955 --> 00:21:03.023
You get alerted to know when things are happening
00:21:03.023 --> 00:21:06.893
With your property.
00:21:06.893 --> 00:21:08.295
And three, our million dollar triple lock protection
00:21:08.295 --> 00:21:10.964
Restoration, which to me is the most important part.
00:21:10.964 --> 00:21:13.800
We have a team of legal experts around the united states
00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:16.503
To make sure that wherever you are,
00:21:16.503 --> 00:21:18.338
If you are a victim, not only are you covered at
00:21:18.338 --> 00:21:20.874
No extra out-of-pocket cost to you.
00:21:20.874 --> 00:21:23.443
We take care of every step along the way to make sure
00:21:23.443 --> 00:21:26.780
That the fraud is fixed and your title is restored.
00:21:26.780 --> 00:21:29.816
Sadly, because this is a silent epidemic, we're not seeing it
00:21:29.816 --> 00:21:32.619
On the front page of the news
00:21:32.619 --> 00:21:33.754
Every day, but we see it every day.
00:21:33.754 --> 00:21:36.490
We see news articles.
00:21:36.490 --> 00:21:37.691
We see articles
00:21:37.691 --> 00:21:39.092
From the department of justice talking about all these
00:21:39.092 --> 00:21:40.994
Criminal syndicates that are being found,
00:21:40.994 --> 00:21:42.729
People that are working in government.
00:21:42.729 --> 00:21:44.297
There is a community organizer out of detroit, michigan,
00:21:44.297 --> 00:21:47.634
That last year had a complete network of people she worked
00:21:47.634 --> 00:21:51.204
With to scam people out of their properties
00:21:51.204 --> 00:21:54.274
And extract their equities and commit
00:21:54.274 --> 00:21:56.643
Not only title fraud, but
00:21:56.643 --> 00:21:58.178
What she actually got arrested for was wire fraud.
00:21:58.178 --> 00:22:00.947
This person got found out last year
00:22:00.947 --> 00:22:02.416
After stealing more than 30 homes from people
00:22:02.416 --> 00:22:05.118
That were supposed to trust her,
00:22:05.118 --> 00:22:06.453
And what she did was she took the information
00:22:06.453 --> 00:22:08.722
That she was getting from these people,
00:22:08.722 --> 00:22:10.624
And she was creating falsified documents.
00:22:10.624 --> 00:22:12.659
And then she was selling these homes behind their back.
00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:15.028
Money was wired.
00:22:15.028 --> 00:22:16.096
This nonprofit organizer
00:22:16.096 --> 00:22:17.431
Got thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
00:22:17.431 --> 00:22:20.233
And what could have prevented this in the first place?
00:22:20.233 --> 00:22:22.569
Having something like home tied a lock
00:22:22.569 --> 00:22:24.037
So that you don't have to go through
00:22:24.037 --> 00:22:26.406
All the crazy aftermath,
00:22:26.406 --> 00:22:28.008
The financial and legal nightmare,
00:22:28.008 --> 00:22:29.576
The lawyer fees and the emotional heartache
00:22:29.576 --> 00:22:33.447
And the trying to fix things that weren't
00:22:33.447 --> 00:22:36.216
Even your fault in the first place.
00:22:36.216 --> 00:22:38.084
You know, the reason that we talk about these things
00:22:38.084 --> 00:22:39.853
Is because a lot of people tend to think
00:22:39.853 --> 00:22:41.455
Of protecting your home in a very singular way.
00:22:41.455 --> 00:22:43.957
Doorbell camera, a security system, credit monitoring,
00:22:43.957 --> 00:22:47.861
Things like that.
00:22:47.861 --> 00:22:48.962
But what we want to do is make sure you guys are aware
00:22:48.962 --> 00:22:51.331
Of this growing silent epidemic and how to protect yourself.
00:22:51.331 --> 00:22:55.502
Thanks, charlie, so much for having me on.
00:22:55.502 --> 00:22:57.304

And equity being saved by home title lock.

Protection.
00:23:29.269 --> 00:23:32.606
Friends just across israel's border inside syria.
00:23:32.606 --> 00:23:35.742
Entire christian and druze families have been slaughtered
00:23:35.742 --> 00:23:39.312
By islamic terrorists. it's shocking.
00:23:39.312 --> 00:23:41.481
It's heartbreaking.
00:23:41.481 --> 00:23:42.516
And the international fellowship of christians
00:23:42.516 --> 00:23:44.184
And jews
00:23:44.184 --> 00:23:44.885
Is there on the ground,
00:23:44.885 --> 00:23:46.052
Working hand in hand with israel and the idf to respond.
00:23:46.052 --> 00:23:49.222
The fellowship has rushed in over 1500 emergency food boxes.
00:23:49.222 --> 00:23:53.260
They've opened
00:23:53.260 --> 00:23:54.427
A brand new medical clinic in a village that had none.
00:23:54.427 --> 00:23:56.563
Truckloads of medical equipment
00:23:56.563 --> 00:23:58.031
And supplies went straight to hospitals
00:23:58.031 --> 00:23:59.766
Because the need is so desperate.
00:23:59.766 --> 00:24:01.234
This is our faith in action.
00:24:01.234 --> 00:24:02.569
Israel is stopping the terrorists.
00:24:02.569 --> 00:24:04.271
Now it's on us christians and jews to care
00:24:04.271 --> 00:24:06.139
For the survivors,
00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:07.073
To pray for the persecuted,
00:24:07.073 --> 00:24:08.475
And to stand with them against evil.
00:24:08.475 --> 00:24:10.243
I'm asking you to join me in
00:24:10.243 --> 00:24:11.444

00:24:19.719 --> 00:24:21.655
