Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: August 7. 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | August 7, 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 --> 00:00:14.771
There's so much news happening.
00:00:15.405 --> 00:00:16.573
We have lieutenant general michael
00:00:16.573 --> 00:00:18.141
Flynn joining us in cuffs in just a couple of moments
00:00:18.141 --> 00:00:21.177
About russiagate, about obama gate
00:00:21.177 --> 00:00:24.247
And the path forward
00:00:24.714 --> 00:00:27.383
On whether we're going to indict john brennan,
00:00:27.383 --> 00:00:30.553
James comey or barack obama.
00:00:30.553 --> 00:00:33.289
What is the game plan?
00:00:33.289 --> 00:00:34.457
What does he know? we're going to dive into that.
00:00:34.457 --> 00:00:36.192
But first, amazingly, crime
00:00:36.192 --> 00:00:38.928
Is actually going down across the country.
00:00:38.928 --> 00:00:42.265
The donald trump effect is real.
00:00:42.265 --> 00:00:43.867
The more
00:00:43.867 --> 00:00:45.101
That we do mass deportations, the more that criminals know
00:00:45.101 --> 00:00:47.804
That they might end up getting a prison sentence.
00:00:47.804 --> 00:00:51.040
The more that we're seeing the rate
00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:52.642
Of violent crime decreased. but that is not stopping.
00:00:52.642 --> 00:00:55.078
Of course, all violent crime, washington, d.c.
00:00:55.078 --> 00:00:58.581
Is no different.
00:00:58.581 --> 00:01:00.216
Washington, d.c.
00:01:00.617 --> 00:01:01.618
We saw a massive increase in carjackings
00:01:01.618 --> 00:01:04.454
When we just decided to stop policing.
00:01:04.454 --> 00:01:06.723
Now let's just take a step back.
00:01:06.723 --> 00:01:08.324
I was recently asked to give advice
00:01:08.324 --> 00:01:09.959
To a group of republican lawmakers and donors.
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.529
They said, charlie, what is the issue
00:01:12.529 --> 00:01:14.164
That you think
00:01:14.164 --> 00:01:15.165
Republicans should own and should be known for?
00:01:15.165 --> 00:01:18.134
I said, honestly, we should be much tougher on crime.
00:01:18.134 --> 00:01:20.937
We need more people in jail.
00:01:20.937 --> 00:01:22.605
We need more arrests.
00:01:22.605 --> 00:01:24.073
We need no.
00:01:24.073 --> 00:01:27.510
Let's just say ease.
00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:30.213
We need no accommodation to criminals.
00:01:30.213 --> 00:01:32.415
People do not like criminals.
00:01:32.415 --> 00:01:33.983
Make liberals defend them and celebrate them.
00:01:33.983 --> 00:01:36.853
We need more police officers.
00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:38.621
We need higher standards. we need more rigidity.
00:01:38.621 --> 00:01:40.957
We do not have enough people in jail in this country.
00:01:40.957 --> 00:01:45.094
And that is shocking.
00:01:45.595 --> 00:01:46.429
When people hear that, they say, oh,
00:01:46.429 --> 00:01:47.530
We have a prison industrial complex.
00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:49.432
We're just a more violent country than other countries.
00:01:49.432 --> 00:01:52.635
We also, the average rapist
00:01:52.635 --> 00:01:54.103
Only spends about 5 to 6 years in prison,
00:01:54.103 --> 00:01:57.040
Where all the suburban women that talk about how terrible
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.243
Rape is, as they should, and yet
00:02:00.243 --> 00:02:01.811
They're not marching in the streets demanding
00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:04.581
That rapists spend more time in jail,
00:02:04.581 --> 00:02:07.417
More people in jail, longer sentences
00:02:07.417 --> 00:02:10.420
And more cops on the street, more enforcement.
00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:12.555
One of my hopes is to turn the republican party
00:02:12.555 --> 00:02:17.260
Into a resolute, stronger party on crime.
00:02:17.260 --> 00:02:21.130
The democrats, they can't do this
00:02:21.130 --> 00:02:22.432
Because they think it's a racist.
00:02:22.432 --> 00:02:24.133
They have to pander to a criminal base of their party,
00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:27.604
And they think everything is through
00:02:27.604 --> 00:02:28.938
Racial and systemic terms.
00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:30.607
We are not harsh enough on crime in this country.
00:02:30.607 --> 00:02:33.876
We put up with it too much.
00:02:33.876 --> 00:02:35.011
We try to accommodate the criminal.
00:02:35.011 --> 00:02:36.779
And this is not just about stopping criminals.
00:02:36.779 --> 00:02:39.048
If you enforce the law,
00:02:39.048 --> 00:02:40.717
Housing will be cheaper
00:02:40.717 --> 00:02:42.118
Because more of the country will be livable.
00:02:42.118 --> 00:02:44.287
When you think about it,
00:02:44.287 --> 00:02:45.188
Why is that housing prices go up so much?
00:02:45.188 --> 00:02:47.123
Because you have a small group of law abiding
00:02:47.123 --> 00:02:50.893
Young people that want to live in certain zip codes.
00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:54.130
Why don't you open up more zip codes
00:02:54.130 --> 00:02:57.233
If you enforce the law?
00:02:57.734 --> 00:02:58.935
We'll have more manufacturing here in america.
00:02:58.935 --> 00:03:01.004
If you enforce the law, the economy will grow faster.
00:03:01.004 --> 00:03:04.007
And the economic loss from crime
00:03:04.007 --> 00:03:06.309
Is in trillions of dollars.
00:03:06.309 --> 00:03:09.212
The republican party needs to become
00:03:09.212 --> 00:03:11.281
Harsher and harder on crime.
00:03:11.281 --> 00:03:13.950
President donald trump agrees.
00:03:13.950 --> 00:03:15.285
If i had to rank president
00:03:15.285 --> 00:03:16.519
Donald trump as being ten
00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:17.654
Out of ten on certain issues, he is ten out of ten.
00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:21.424
And at his best, he is in the flow state, as we call it.
00:03:21.424 --> 00:03:26.095
When it comes to border and crime.
00:03:26.095 --> 00:03:28.264
President donald
00:03:28.264 --> 00:03:29.399
Trump is in that kind of michael jordan fourth quarter.
00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:32.602
Watch him do his best work when it comes to crime
00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:36.239
And what comes to the border.
00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:37.874
Unquestionably the best american president
00:03:37.874 --> 00:03:40.710
On immigration and on crime in the zone.
00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:44.414
When america has less crime, everything is better.
00:03:44.414 --> 00:03:46.949
That's why the left loves crime so much and makes
00:03:46.949 --> 00:03:49.719
Everything worse.
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.587
And just a couple days ago,
00:03:52.188 --> 00:03:54.824
Something happened in washington, d.c.
00:03:54.824 --> 00:03:56.559
That caught the president's attention.
00:03:56.559 --> 00:03:58.027
By the way,
00:03:58.027 --> 00:03:59.228
We're still waiting for hate crime arrests in cincinnati
00:03:59.228 --> 00:04:01.297
Of the young woman that was nearly beat
00:04:01.297 --> 00:04:03.266
To death, hospitalized,
00:04:03.266 --> 00:04:04.467
Had to take an uber home while the police watched her.
00:04:04.467 --> 00:04:07.570
Holly in cincinnati.
00:04:07.570 --> 00:04:10.206
We're still waiting for
00:04:10.206 --> 00:04:11.007
Hate crime arrest
00:04:11.007 --> 00:04:11.808
Because she was obviously targeted
00:04:11.808 --> 00:04:13.042
Because of the color of her skin.
00:04:13.042 --> 00:04:14.277
It was a black on white hate crime, not an arrest yet.
00:04:14.277 --> 00:04:17.280
We're expecting arrests from this department of justice.
00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:20.016
We are eagerly, eagerly anticipating it.
00:04:20.016 --> 00:04:22.151
We are ready to receive those arrest warrants.
00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:25.455
And the mayor never even called her.
00:04:25.455 --> 00:04:27.256
But a unfortunately,
00:04:27.256 --> 00:04:28.591
Another situation happened in washington, d.c.
00:04:28.591 --> 00:04:30.960
Involving someone that has been boy, he's had a year.
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:35.665
I actually had a chance
00:04:36.165 --> 00:04:37.266
To meet this young man and text with this young man.
00:04:37.266 --> 00:04:39.702
He is known as big balls.
00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:43.473
Two teenagers were arrested in connection to the attempted
00:04:43.473 --> 00:04:45.742
Carjacking of a former department
00:04:45.742 --> 00:04:47.677
Of government efficiency staffer known as big balls.
00:04:47.677 --> 00:04:50.747
Authorities said the 15 year old suspects,
00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:53.549
Who were charged with the unarmed carjacking,
00:04:53.549 --> 00:04:55.685
Were among several
00:04:55.685 --> 00:04:56.886
Teens who allegedly approached the victim, edward costa nini,
00:04:56.886 --> 00:05:00.089
And a woman police identified around 3 a.m.
00:05:00.089 --> 00:05:02.592
Sunday in the washington's local logan circle
00:05:02.592 --> 00:05:05.428
Neighborhood.
00:05:05.428 --> 00:05:06.629
This group allegedly made comments about taking the car
00:05:06.629 --> 00:05:09.932
Before course.
00:05:09.932 --> 00:05:10.633
The nini pushed his significant
00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:12.101
Other into the vehicle for safety and prepared
00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:15.004
To confront the group, law enforcement officials said.
00:05:15.004 --> 00:05:18.040
Course, the nini turned to face the teenagers
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.543
And several of them
00:05:20.543 --> 00:05:21.744
Attacked him until police patrolling the area intervened.
00:05:21.744 --> 00:05:25.214
The group fled on foot
00:05:25.214 --> 00:05:26.315
When the police approached, authorities said.
00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:29.352
And so this is heroic behavior.
00:05:29.986 --> 00:05:32.488
This is like trump and butler.
00:05:32.488 --> 00:05:34.157
This is daniel penny. ask.
00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:36.426
This young man should be on
00:05:37.026 --> 00:05:38.327
The front page of every single newspaper.
00:05:38.327 --> 00:05:41.063
This is the type of son that i want.
00:05:41.063 --> 00:05:44.333
My this is the type of man i want.
00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:45.868
My son to grow up to be,
00:05:45.868 --> 00:05:48.037
To defend women against a mob.
00:05:48.037 --> 00:05:50.973
And i think we know what kind of mob it actually is.
00:05:50.973 --> 00:05:53.876
I don't see it on the front page
00:05:53.876 --> 00:05:54.977
Of the wall street journal.
00:05:54.977 --> 00:05:56.179
I don't see it on the front page of the new york times.
00:05:56.179 --> 00:05:58.881
Mike lee wants to give him the presidential medal of freedom.
00:05:58.881 --> 00:06:02.385
Now, if he had shot and killed one of these attackers,
00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:05.154
They would try to indict him for murder.
00:06:05.154 --> 00:06:06.923
That is the left.
00:06:06.923 --> 00:06:09.659
But here is a young white man who's working
00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:12.028
In the federal government as a doge staffer,
00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:15.331
Very similar to kyle rittenhouse.
00:06:15.331 --> 00:06:18.100
And we are only saying, well,
00:06:18.734 --> 00:06:19.969
These were just a bunch of youths and teenagers.
00:06:19.969 --> 00:06:23.072
Oh, a bunch of teenagers going carjacking at 3 a.m..
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:25.975
We should no longer put up with this.
00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:28.344
We should treat juvenile
00:06:28.344 --> 00:06:31.380
Individuals
00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:33.983
At the adult threshold.
00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:36.385
We should have the juvenile threshold at the adult.
00:06:36.385 --> 00:06:39.989
And this young man could have been killed.
00:06:40.857 --> 00:06:42.959
President trump is calling for 14 years and older.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.294
And he is right.
00:06:45.294 --> 00:06:46.395
And i believe it's time
00:06:46.395 --> 00:06:47.497
To exercise the federalization of washington, d.c..
00:06:47.497 --> 00:06:51.601
Bring in the troops, cut out the crime, federalize.
00:06:51.601 --> 00:06:55.204
Washington, d.c.
00:06:55.204 --> 00:06:56.405
President trump has the power to do it.
00:06:56.405 --> 00:06:58.508
He has exercise in home rule over the nation's capital.
00:06:58.508 --> 00:07:02.411
Make d.c. the safest city in america.
00:07:02.411 --> 00:07:04.914
Bring in the marines.
00:07:04.914 --> 00:07:06.482
Call in the insurrection act.
00:07:06.482 --> 00:07:07.850
Make the crime go to zero.
00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:09.218
Use it as an example.
00:07:09.218 --> 00:07:11.487
Make d.c. as safe as tokyo.
00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:14.156
Make d.c. as safe as singapore.
00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:16.792
Make d.c.
00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:17.593
As safe as seoul, south korea.
00:07:17.593 --> 00:07:19.795
We can do it, but we choose not to
00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:21.964
Because we don't want it to a full.
00:07:21.964 --> 00:07:23.266
We don't want to offend the teenagers.
00:07:23.266 --> 00:07:26.636
You see,
00:07:26.636 --> 00:07:27.937
I know so many of you when you're out at night,
00:07:27.937 --> 00:07:29.305
You're worried about teenager crime.
00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:31.507
How can we call ourselves a superpower
00:07:32.275 --> 00:07:34.777
When our great capitol is a dangerous dump?
00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:37.246
Beijing isn't like this.
00:07:37.246 --> 00:07:38.814
Tokyo is not like this.
00:07:38.814 --> 00:07:40.650
But d.c. is.
00:07:40.650 --> 00:07:41.584
And it's because we're choosing.
00:07:41.584 --> 00:07:43.085
It's time to federalize d.c., roll in the tanks, bring in the
00:07:43.085 --> 00:07:46.556
Military, federalize the town, and bring teenage crime
00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:50.359
To zero.
00:07:50.626 --> 00:07:54.597
It's right over israel's border.
00:07:55.298 --> 00:07:57.500
There are thousands of christians and druze
00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.902
Who are being targeted and killed.
00:07:59.902 --> 00:08:01.804
I'm going to close the door.
00:08:01.804 --> 00:08:03.472
Your vision.
00:08:03.472 --> 00:08:05.575
But for us, the fellowship cannot stand by and watch.
00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:09.712
We are sending aid in.
00:08:10.179 --> 00:08:12.548
Most of the world is oblivious to what's happened
00:08:12.548 --> 00:08:15.384
To thousands of people who have lost their lives.
00:08:15.384 --> 00:08:19.021
No food, no medicine.
00:08:19.021 --> 00:08:23.326
We're standing in the middle of america
00:08:24.126 --> 00:08:26.996
Who will be in the hands of jews and christians alike.
00:08:26.996 --> 00:08:31.701
I'm proud of the international fellowship of christians
00:08:31.701 --> 00:08:34.704
And jews to reach inside these most hostile territories
00:08:34.704 --> 00:08:38.341
And save human lives, wherever it's needed.
00:08:38.341 --> 00:08:42.511
We will continue to save lives of our brothers and sisters.
00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:46.148
We will continue to give hope.
00:08:46.148 --> 00:08:49.385
To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
00:08:49.385 --> 00:08:55.002
To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
00:08:55.002 --> 00:09:00.831
Joining us now
00:09:01.164 --> 00:09:02.099
Is lieutenant general michael flynn sir.
00:09:02.099 --> 00:09:04.735
Great to see you.
00:09:04.735 --> 00:09:05.636
Thank you so much for taking the time.
00:09:05.636 --> 00:09:07.537
I want to take a step back
00:09:07.537 --> 00:09:08.772
Before we get into the details of obama gate and russiagate.
00:09:08.772 --> 00:09:11.708
I want you to remind everyone what happened to you
00:09:11.708 --> 00:09:14.244
And what the fbi did to.
00:09:14.244 --> 00:09:15.412
We have a lot of younger listeners in our audience
00:09:15.412 --> 00:09:17.681
That are not as familiar or have memory of it.
00:09:17.681 --> 00:09:20.450
They didn't live through it.
00:09:20.450 --> 00:09:21.985
The fbi sent people to entrap you
00:09:21.985 --> 00:09:24.788
In the guise of offering you help
00:09:24.788 --> 00:09:26.857
In the first days of the administration.
00:09:26.857 --> 00:09:28.859
You are patient zero, sir.
00:09:28.859 --> 00:09:30.727
Please walk us through it and remind us.
00:09:30.727 --> 00:09:33.130
Yeah.
00:09:33.130 --> 00:09:34.197
So for your audience, charlie, when president obama
00:09:34.197 --> 00:09:38.201
First met with president elect trump
00:09:38.201 --> 00:09:41.605
Right after the 2016 presidential election,
00:09:41.605 --> 00:09:45.242
He had a very short conversation with him.
00:09:45.242 --> 00:09:47.144
And president obama at that time told
00:09:47.144 --> 00:09:49.913
President trump that he should not hire me.
00:09:49.913 --> 00:09:52.816
And it was very odd.
00:09:52.816 --> 00:09:53.984
And trump
00:09:53.984 --> 00:09:55.185
And i spoke about that after his meeting was with obama.
00:09:55.185 --> 00:09:58.288
It was just odd that
00:09:58.288 --> 00:09:59.222
Why would the president united states, in
00:09:59.222 --> 00:10:00.557
Transitioning the entirety of the government,
00:10:00.557 --> 00:10:02.826
Point out one person, in this case me, to not hire?
00:10:02.826 --> 00:10:06.863
And of course, you know what
00:10:06.863 --> 00:10:08.298
What trump did was he then hired me
00:10:08.298 --> 00:10:10.133
As the national security advisor.
00:10:10.133 --> 00:10:12.069
And we now know charlie when that.
00:10:12.069 --> 00:10:13.737
So if you go back and you look at the dates and the timeline,
00:10:13.737 --> 00:10:16.873
Now we know about this 8th december 2016 meeting.
00:10:16.873 --> 00:10:20.277
We we know about the 5th january
00:10:20.277 --> 00:10:22.913
2017 meeting where there was collusion
00:10:22.913 --> 00:10:26.149
Inside the oval office led by barack obama.
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:29.720
And it's very clear now the evidence is really clear.
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.055
I we were able to, in my case, sort of jump forward
00:10:32.055 --> 00:10:35.559
To fast forward the the jim comey,
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.096
The director of the fbi, sent in two agents to my office.
00:10:39.096 --> 00:10:42.566
They interviewed me. no problem.
00:10:42.566 --> 00:10:44.835
You know, i don't have any issues with that.
00:10:44.835 --> 00:10:45.969
I'd been working with the fbi
00:10:45.969 --> 00:10:47.037
For the better part of 15 years prior to that,
00:10:47.037 --> 00:10:49.573
And i didn't lie to them then.
00:10:49.573 --> 00:10:51.775
And they they actually said that they wrote it down.
00:10:51.775 --> 00:10:54.644
We found that out in evidence later on.
00:10:54.644 --> 00:10:56.947
They
00:10:56.947 --> 00:10:57.614
Then came after me very hard
00:10:57.614 --> 00:10:59.649
When the mueller investigation hit.
00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:01.618
They, they when they came after me,
00:11:01.618 --> 00:11:04.087
This is where they brought my family in. right.
00:11:04.087 --> 00:11:06.256
And they threatened me and they threatened my son,
00:11:06.256 --> 00:11:09.426
My youngest son, who was who was about to have a child
00:11:09.426 --> 00:11:12.429
With basically all kinds of felony counts.
00:11:12.429 --> 00:11:15.098
And, and we're going to
00:11:15.098 --> 00:11:16.233
Throw you in prison, you know, for four years that all.
00:11:16.233 --> 00:11:19.402
And so that was all true. that's all come out.
00:11:19.402 --> 00:11:21.938
And they went after me because you know why?
00:11:21.938 --> 00:11:24.541
Why did obama say that to trump?
00:11:24.541 --> 00:11:25.976
Why did obama go after me so hard early on?
00:11:25.976 --> 00:11:28.578
Because, charlie, there's no there's been, you know, about
00:11:28.578 --> 00:11:31.948
Pat myself on the back here.
00:11:31.948 --> 00:11:33.150
There's not been a national security advisor
00:11:33.150 --> 00:11:35.352
To the united states of america with my background.
00:11:35.352 --> 00:11:38.155
Not one. no.
00:11:38.155 --> 00:11:39.055
I mean, going back to henry kissinger,
00:11:39.055 --> 00:11:40.791
Who i who i met 3 or 3 times.
00:11:40.791 --> 00:11:43.326
Well, to do sort of a hand or let me interject,
00:11:43.326 --> 00:11:45.695
You were also very, cautious on russia.
00:11:45.695 --> 00:11:49.132
You see, they needed to take you.
00:11:49.132 --> 00:11:50.534
They needed to take you out
00:11:50.534 --> 00:11:52.202
Because they wanted to get to a kinetic war against russia.
00:11:52.202 --> 00:11:55.472
And you had a much
00:11:55.472 --> 00:11:56.673
More cautious, realistic and restrained approach to russia.
00:11:56.673 --> 00:12:00.243
So you were critical not only to manufacture
00:12:00.243 --> 00:12:03.580
The russian narrative because they tried to,
00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:05.482
You know, gin up something
00:12:05.482 --> 00:12:06.850
Because of some trip that you took or whatever.
00:12:06.850 --> 00:12:08.985
But to use you as a centerpiece, you were a
00:12:08.985 --> 00:12:11.688
You were a stumbling block because you did not believe
00:12:11.688 --> 00:12:16.159
In to end the dc empire's view that russia
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.130
Was our greatest enemy, you were necessary for removal.
00:12:20.130 --> 00:12:23.366
I would argue that if you sustained
00:12:23.366 --> 00:12:25.302
Through the first trump
00:12:25.302 --> 00:12:26.269
Administration that we might never have got,
00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:28.505
We might never have had russiagate.
00:12:28.505 --> 00:12:30.073
Please continue.
00:12:30.073 --> 00:12:31.174
Yeah.
00:12:31.174 --> 00:12:31.708
No, i yeah, i agree,
00:12:31.708 --> 00:12:32.709
You know, one of the things that i talked,
00:12:32.709 --> 00:12:34.444
I talked to trump about during the 2016 campaign
00:12:34.444 --> 00:12:37.447
And certainly
00:12:37.447 --> 00:12:38.648
Going into the administration after he won was i wanted
00:12:38.648 --> 00:12:41.351
And i still am i still believe this.
00:12:41.351 --> 00:12:42.953
We must pull russia out of the of the influence
00:12:42.953 --> 00:12:47.090
Of the the sphere of influence that china has.
00:12:47.090 --> 00:12:50.160
Right?
00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:51.428
China is really the sort of the wolf at the at the door here.
00:12:51.428 --> 00:12:54.297
So we have to pull russia
00:12:54.297 --> 00:12:56.299
And we
00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:57.167
And that's what i was talking about,
00:12:57.167 --> 00:12:58.235
That we've got to figure out ways to pull them out.
00:12:58.235 --> 00:12:59.903
We've never been to war.
00:12:59.903 --> 00:13:01.004
We never been at war with russia.
00:13:01.004 --> 00:13:02.539
Russia supported us during world war two.
00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:04.307
Russia supported us in the middle east.
00:13:04.307 --> 00:13:06.176
I mean, most people,
00:13:06.176 --> 00:13:07.277
Maybe a lot of your audience don't realize.
00:13:07.277 --> 00:13:08.879
But we were working with the russian navy.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:10.347
We were working with russian military
00:13:10.347 --> 00:13:11.915
In places like syria, going against al qaeda and isis.
00:13:11.915 --> 00:13:15.118
So we had a great relationship after the end of the cold war.
00:13:15.118 --> 00:13:18.388
I actually worked and trained with russian forces in,
00:13:18.388 --> 00:13:21.124
In, in different training, exercises and scenarios
00:13:21.124 --> 00:13:24.561
That we had in the 90s and into the early 2000s.
00:13:24.561 --> 00:13:27.430
And, of course, until 911.
00:13:27.430 --> 00:13:29.299
So, so russia actually and, and i wrote something
00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:33.103
In the last four days here, charlie,
00:13:33.103 --> 00:13:34.671
About sort of rules for diplomacy that i would,
00:13:34.671 --> 00:13:36.840
You know,
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:37.574
Now, bring your audience
00:13:37.574 --> 00:13:38.608
To the attention of that, but there's 80% in a,
00:13:38.608 --> 00:13:41.978
In a recent in a good poll, 80% of the russian people
00:13:41.978 --> 00:13:45.949
In russia today, mostly young people, charlie, want a
00:13:45.949 --> 00:13:49.519
More positive relationship with the united states of america
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.956
Because they feel aligned with us.
00:13:52.956 --> 00:13:54.624
So back then, in the 2016 2017 time frame, where, you know,
00:13:54.624 --> 00:13:59.062
The obama administration did some really terrible things.
00:13:59.062 --> 00:14:01.932
They they expelled a bunch of russians.
00:14:01.932 --> 00:14:04.000
They put sanctions on all these on the russians
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.603
For no other reason
00:14:06.603 --> 00:14:07.704
Than to upset the incoming trump administration.
00:14:07.704 --> 00:14:10.607
And one of the actions
00:14:10.607 --> 00:14:11.675
That i took among many talking to foreign leaders,
00:14:11.675 --> 00:14:14.311
Which is which was i was,
00:14:14.311 --> 00:14:15.545
You know, authorized to do it
00:14:15.545 --> 00:14:17.280
And fully by rights to do i spoke with the russians
00:14:17.280 --> 00:14:20.317
Multiple times to let them know.
00:14:20.317 --> 00:14:21.785
Look, let's let cool heads prevail.
00:14:21.785 --> 00:14:24.421
President trump has a different view on foreign policy.
00:14:24.421 --> 00:14:27.424
Let's let us get into the office of the presidency
00:14:27.424 --> 00:14:30.860
So we can start a different tack going down the road.
00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:34.564
When it came to russia,
00:14:34.564 --> 00:14:35.865
The obama administration wasn't having anything of it.
00:14:35.865 --> 00:14:38.301
And frankly, the intelligence community
00:14:38.301 --> 00:14:40.437
And many, many on both sides of the
00:14:40.437 --> 00:14:43.173
Of the political aisle that likes the likes
00:14:43.173 --> 00:14:45.608
To have a war, you know, a boogeyman
00:14:45.608 --> 00:14:48.244
In the name of russia, russia, russia.
00:14:48.244 --> 00:14:50.046
Because, charlie, and this is for your audience,
00:14:50.046 --> 00:14:52.515
There are billions
00:14:52.515 --> 00:14:54.017
And billions of dollars that flow into the coffers.
00:14:54.017 --> 00:14:57.988
As long as we have that boogeyman called russia
00:14:57.988 --> 00:15:01.124
And the american taxpayers,
00:15:01.124 --> 00:15:02.859
Charlie, we can't afford it anymore.
00:15:02.859 --> 00:15:04.995
We can't afford to have these these wars going on.
00:15:04.995 --> 00:15:07.564
And and for everybody that's also done,
00:15:07.564 --> 00:15:10.266
Even if we could afford it,
00:15:10.266 --> 00:15:11.434
We should not be at war against russia,
00:15:11.434 --> 00:15:13.636
Even if we were endlessly rich
00:15:13.636 --> 00:15:15.739
And we had a sovereign wealth fund.
00:15:15.739 --> 00:15:17.440
It is not in our geopolitical interests.
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.076
I don't like putin. you don't like putin.
00:15:20.076 --> 00:15:21.911
I don't like the way they've been acting.
00:15:21.911 --> 00:15:23.413
I don't like the fact they bombed churches on palm sunday.
00:15:23.413 --> 00:15:26.649
That really bothered me when they did that.
00:15:26.649 --> 00:15:28.618
But but the real enemy is all to the east.
00:15:28.618 --> 00:15:31.054
It's the chinese communist party.
00:15:31.054 --> 00:15:32.422
Can we build a hegemonic coalition against the rise
00:15:32.422 --> 00:15:36.226
Of the chinese communist party?
00:15:36.226 --> 00:15:37.660
It's all about china.
00:15:37.660 --> 00:15:38.728
And so much of this is about trying to distract
00:15:38.728 --> 00:15:41.531
And divide, separate
00:15:41.531 --> 00:15:44.034
What should be a coalition against the
00:15:44.034 --> 00:15:47.437
Chinese communist party.
00:15:47.437 --> 00:15:48.605
So now let's talk about john brennan.
00:15:48.605 --> 00:15:51.274
I'm of the opinion and i want your opinion,
00:15:51.274 --> 00:15:53.476
Lieutenant general michael flynn,
00:15:53.476 --> 00:15:55.145
That we need to be very cautious and very careful
00:15:55.145 --> 00:15:58.548
Going about possibly indicting barack obama himself.
00:15:58.548 --> 00:16:02.952
I think we should start with john brennan.
00:16:02.952 --> 00:16:05.021
I think john brennan is the central nervous system.
00:16:05.021 --> 00:16:07.524
He's the offensive coordinator.
00:16:07.524 --> 00:16:09.125
He was calling the plays.
00:16:09.125 --> 00:16:10.727
He was the maestro of the orchestra.
00:16:10.727 --> 00:16:13.096
I think that is the lowest hanging fruit.
00:16:13.096 --> 00:16:15.131
And he does not have presidential immunity.
00:16:15.131 --> 00:16:17.934
Do you agree?
00:16:17.934 --> 00:16:18.935
And if so, what could he be charged for?
00:16:18.935 --> 00:16:21.237
Realistically,
00:16:21.237 --> 00:16:22.772
Yeah, i do agree that he is
00:16:23.373 --> 00:16:25.075
The sort of the linchpin here, charlie.
00:16:25.075 --> 00:16:26.810
And i do think that there are people.
00:16:26.810 --> 00:16:28.244
In fact, i know
00:16:28.244 --> 00:16:29.512
Because partly tulsi has said it, but i also am aware
00:16:29.512 --> 00:16:33.083
That there are whistleblowers that have come forward
00:16:33.083 --> 00:16:35.151
With some very, very egregious information
00:16:35.151 --> 00:16:38.021
As it relates to that man that you're showing right now.
00:16:38.021 --> 00:16:40.824
There are going to be other leaders
00:16:40.824 --> 00:16:43.393
That were in the rooms, with barack obama,
00:16:43.393 --> 00:16:47.130
With those two, with obama and brennan,
00:16:47.130 --> 00:16:49.532
That are also going to, you know, they're going to
00:16:49.532 --> 00:16:52.535
They're going to talk
00:16:52.535 --> 00:16:53.570
Because they don't want to get into trouble here.
00:16:53.570 --> 00:16:56.272
And there is a
00:16:56.272 --> 00:16:57.540
There is a conspiracy, and it is still an ongoing conspiracy.
00:16:57.540 --> 00:17:00.577
And so all this talk about statutes of limitations,
00:17:00.577 --> 00:17:04.013
You know,
00:17:04.013 --> 00:17:05.148
I'll leave it to the, to the constitutional lawyers
00:17:05.148 --> 00:17:07.984
Who have studied this thing and looked at the problems
00:17:07.984 --> 00:17:11.020
That this guy is involved in, that brennan is involved in.
00:17:11.020 --> 00:17:13.723
But he's got he's got a lot he's he's at risk right now
00:17:13.723 --> 00:17:17.327
In a big, big way.
00:17:17.327 --> 00:17:18.828
And i have a funny feeling that once you start to
00:17:18.828 --> 00:17:22.132
Bring these people in, and i've been very public
00:17:22.132 --> 00:17:23.900
About guys like jim clapper, because jim clapper,
00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:26.503
I believe you bring jim clapper and jim clapper will spill
00:17:26.503 --> 00:17:29.305
The beans.
00:17:29.305 --> 00:17:30.173
Jim clapper has already said publicly
00:17:30.173 --> 00:17:31.541
On, on a,
00:17:31.541 --> 00:17:32.542
On a cable news network
00:17:32.542 --> 00:17:34.144
That they were ordered by obama to do it.
00:17:34.144 --> 00:17:36.479
We now see the evidence.
00:17:36.479 --> 00:17:37.947
So he said it and that's fine.
00:17:37.947 --> 00:17:40.183
But now we have the evidence coming out of the director
00:17:40.183 --> 00:17:43.086
Of national intelligence is mouse and and documented.
00:17:43.086 --> 00:17:46.890
That shows that, in fact, these things happened.
00:17:46.890 --> 00:17:49.459
Thank you so much for your time.
00:17:49.459 --> 00:17:51.494
Excellent. as always.
00:17:51.494 --> 00:17:52.629
You were patient zero. you've been through so much.
00:17:52.629 --> 00:17:54.664
You're a patriot. come back soon. thank you.
00:17:54.664 --> 00:17:57.467
Cholesterol.
00:17:57.800 --> 00:17:58.434
Thank you.
00:17:58.434 --> 00:18:00.904
I'm proud to partner with amac,
00:18:00.904 --> 00:18:02.438

00:18:02.438 --> 00:18:03.439
Of mature american citizens, because they are
00:18:03.439 --> 00:18:05.308
The voice of mature americans who love this country
00:18:05.308 --> 00:18:08.044
And believe in the core values of faith, family, and freedom.
00:18:08.044 --> 00:18:11.381
While other senior organizations push a woke left
00:18:11.381 --> 00:18:13.850
Wing agenda,
00:18:13.850 --> 00:18:15.084
Amac is doing the real work holding washington accountable.
00:18:15.084 --> 00:18:18.188
They're fighting to make the trump tax cuts permanent,
00:18:18.188 --> 00:18:20.490
Protect social security, defend election integrity,
00:18:20.490 --> 00:18:23.526
And push back against the radical policies
00:18:23.526 --> 00:18:25.795
Tearing our country apart. and the best part?
00:18:25.795 --> 00:18:27.897
A mac delivers real value for their members.
00:18:27.897 --> 00:18:30.934
You get exclusive discounts on travel insurance, health
00:18:30.934 --> 00:18:33.369
Care, and more.

Not to mention the award winning a mac magazine
00:18:34.370 --> 00:18:36.706
Filled with truth and conservative insight.
00:18:36.706 --> 00:18:38.942
Membership starts at just $16 a year

Or save more with multi year options.

00:18:44.013 --> 00:18:46.516
So if you love america, want to stand up for our values?
00:18:46.516 --> 00:18:49.152
Join me in a mac at a mac us kirk that is a mac's us.
00:18:49.152 --> 00:18:53.523
Do it today.
00:18:53.856 --> 00:19:00.010
Do it today.
00:19:00.010 --> 00:19:06.071
There was a time when basic truth wasn't up for debate.
00:19:07.205 --> 00:19:10.075
But today, even something as fundamental
00:19:10.075 --> 00:19:12.177
As the difference between
00:19:12.177 --> 00:19:13.144
Men and women has become controversial.
00:19:13.144 --> 00:19:15.580
Here's a special segment from our friends at amec
00:19:15.580 --> 00:19:18.116
That have a message
00:19:18.116 --> 00:19:19.284
For every basic american who still believes in basic
00:19:19.284 --> 00:19:22.287
Biology 101.
00:19:22.287 --> 00:19:23.555
It's about fairness and common sense,
00:19:23.555 --> 00:19:25.323
And amac isn't holding back.
00:19:25.323 --> 00:19:26.891
Here's jonathan griffin with more.
00:19:26.891 --> 00:19:29.127
Thanks, charlie.
00:19:29.127 --> 00:19:30.328
Let's talk about reality across this country.
00:19:30.328 --> 00:19:33.498
A cultural delusion has taken root.
00:19:33.498 --> 00:19:36.268
A lie so absurd that it shouldn't need refuting.
00:19:36.268 --> 00:19:39.104
But here we are.
00:19:39.504 --> 00:19:40.905
Grown men are putting on lipstick and leggings,
00:19:40.905 --> 00:19:43.642
Stepping onto the field
00:19:43.642 --> 00:19:44.976
And stealing victories and scholarships
00:19:44.976 --> 00:19:47.412
And dignity
00:19:47.412 --> 00:19:48.613
From women and girls who've trained their entire lives.
00:19:48.613 --> 00:19:51.449
And the left applauds.
00:19:51.916 --> 00:19:53.818
They call this inclusion.
00:19:53.818 --> 00:19:56.087
They call it progress.
00:19:56.087 --> 00:19:58.123
But you and i both know exactly what it is.
00:19:58.123 --> 00:20:01.159
It's the erasure.
00:20:01.159 --> 00:20:02.661
Erasure of women.
00:20:02.661 --> 00:20:04.195
Erasure of fairness, erasure of truth itself.
00:20:04.195 --> 00:20:08.199
Thankfully,
00:20:08.533 --> 00:20:09.668
32 states have now passed legislation affirming what
00:20:09.668 --> 00:20:13.605
Basic biology and common sense already told us.
00:20:13.605 --> 00:20:17.676
Men do not belong in women's sports.
00:20:17.676 --> 00:20:20.578
Not because we hate anyone.
00:20:21.179 --> 00:20:23.148
Not because we're afraid, but because truth matters.
00:20:23.148 --> 00:20:27.352
And if we let the most basic truths about male
00:20:27.352 --> 00:20:30.288
And female become optional, subjective or irrelevant,
00:20:30.288 --> 00:20:34.626
Then nothing is off the table.
00:20:34.626 --> 00:20:37.128
Let's be clear this isn't about competition.
00:20:37.128 --> 00:20:40.265
It's about ideology.
00:20:40.265 --> 00:20:42.267
It's about control.
00:20:42.267 --> 00:20:44.069
If the activists and bureaucrats
00:20:44.069 --> 00:20:45.837
Can force you to lie about what a woman is,
00:20:45.837 --> 00:20:48.540
They can force you to lie about anything.
00:20:48.540 --> 00:20:51.109
That's the goal.
00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:52.877
But the tide is turning.
00:20:52.877 --> 00:20:54.379
Americans are waking up.
00:20:54.379 --> 00:20:56.081
Parents are pushing back.
00:20:56.081 --> 00:20:58.149
Legislators in dozens of states are saying enough.
00:20:58.149 --> 00:21:02.087
They're standing with girls who want to compete
00:21:02.087 --> 00:21:04.255
On a level playing field, not against six foot
00:21:04.255 --> 00:21:07.092
Three males with beards and biceps.
00:21:07.092 --> 00:21:10.328
Still, the fight is far from over.
00:21:10.328 --> 00:21:13.498
The federal government is threatening
00:21:13.498 --> 00:21:15.367
To punish schools that uphold these laws.
00:21:15.367 --> 00:21:18.636
The media continues to gaslight the public.
00:21:18.636 --> 00:21:21.272
And radical activists are coming for your daughters
00:21:21.272 --> 00:21:24.275
Locker rooms, bathrooms and teams with the full force
00:21:24.275 --> 00:21:28.613
Of their political machine behind them.
00:21:28.613 --> 00:21:30.982
That's why amoc matters.
00:21:30.982 --> 00:21:32.984
The association of mature american citizens.
00:21:32.984 --> 00:21:36.254
We're not here to play nice with those
00:21:36.254 --> 00:21:37.956
Who want to rewrite biology and dismantle truth.
00:21:37.956 --> 00:21:41.226
We're here to defend it.
00:21:41.226 --> 00:21:42.894
To fight for it.
00:21:42.894 --> 00:21:44.295
And to equip you the mature, principled,
00:21:44.295 --> 00:21:46.998
Patriotic american, to push back.
00:21:46.998 --> 00:21:49.768
Because if you can't
00:21:50.235 --> 00:21:51.302
Tell the truth about something as basic as gender,
00:21:51.302 --> 00:21:53.938
We'll lose the ability to tell truth about anything else.
00:21:53.938 --> 00:21:58.109
So if you're tired of the lies, tired of the bullying,
00:21:58.109 --> 00:22:01.846
Tired of watching everything you love about this
00:22:01.846 --> 00:22:04.215
Country be torn down by ideologues
00:22:04.215 --> 00:22:06.785
With no regard for reason or reality.
00:22:06.785 --> 00:22:09.521
Join us.
00:22:09.521 --> 00:22:10.889
Go to america. us.
00:22:10.889 --> 00:22:12.957
Stand up. speak truth.
00:22:12.957 --> 00:22:15.560
Fight back.
00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:17.095
Before it's too late.
00:22:17.095 --> 00:22:18.897
And now back to charlie kirk.
00:22:18.897 --> 00:22:21.633
Jonathan is right.
00:22:22.066 --> 00:22:23.134
This isn't just about sports. it's about truth.
00:22:23.134 --> 00:22:25.170
And if we lose the ability
00:22:25.170 --> 00:22:26.404
To speak truth about something that's basic, what's next?
00:22:26.404 --> 00:22:29.507
America's standing up for women,
00:22:29.507 --> 00:22:31.276
For fairness and for reality itself.
00:22:31.276 --> 00:22:33.411
Join the fight at amoco u.s.
00:22:33.411 --> 00:22:35.613
That is amoco u.s..
00:22:35.613 --> 00:22:38.416
The bible isn't just up to date, it's ahead of its time.
00:22:39.551 --> 00:22:42.387
Israel's role in the world today was clearly foretold
00:22:42.387 --> 00:22:45.523
In the bible thousands of years ago,
00:22:45.523 --> 00:22:47.592
And the rebirth of the jewish state in 1948
00:22:47.592 --> 00:22:50.495
Is a powerful, direct fulfillment
00:22:50.495 --> 00:22:52.597
Of god's prophetic plan.
00:22:52.597 --> 00:22:54.499
As christians were called to not just study prophecy,
00:22:54.499 --> 00:22:57.268
But to respond to it
00:22:57.268 --> 00:22:58.603
In genesis 12 verse three, god makes a promise for now.
00:22:58.603 --> 00:23:02.540
In the future
00:23:02.540 --> 00:23:03.708
I will bless those who bless the descendants of israel.
00:23:03.708 --> 00:23:05.944
I'm grateful to be able
00:23:05.944 --> 00:23:07.011
To help bless israel through life changing ministry
00:23:07.011 --> 00:23:09.681
Of the international fellowship of christians and jews.
00:23:09.681 --> 00:23:12.150
For 40 years, they've been building
00:23:12.150 --> 00:23:13.751
Bridges between christians and jews,
00:23:13.751 --> 00:23:15.553
While giving believers a tangible way to help fulfill
00:23:15.553 --> 00:23:18.356
God's prophetic word.
00:23:18.356 --> 00:23:19.491
Go to ifg.org right now to learn more about how you can
00:23:19.491 --> 00:23:22.293
Bring blessing into your life by blessing israel today.
00:23:22.293 --> 00:23:22.293
