Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: July 21, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | July 21, 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 --> 00:00:14.737
President donald trump
00:00:15.205 --> 00:00:16.639
Announced a bombshell development
00:00:16.639 --> 00:00:20.009
Massive, where president donald trump announced
00:00:20.009 --> 00:00:22.946
That he is authorizing pam bondi to move to unseal
00:00:22.946 --> 00:00:27.617
The grand jury testimony in the glenn maxwell case.
00:00:27.617 --> 00:00:31.554
We discussed this a couple times throughout the week.
00:00:31.554 --> 00:00:34.457
This is a massive development.
00:00:34.457 --> 00:00:36.159
This is something that needs to be focused on for
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.828
If for any of you that care about the epstein story,
00:00:38.828 --> 00:00:41.531
What's likely to be in the transcripts?
00:00:41.531 --> 00:00:43.032
Well, testimony of epstein and maxwell, victims and witnesses
00:00:43.032 --> 00:00:47.070
In particular, their actions there, associations, locations
00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:50.039
And timelines,
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:51.174
Discussions of physical and documentary evidence
00:00:51.174 --> 00:00:53.743
Is likely to be in there.
00:00:53.743 --> 00:00:55.011
Maxwell's phone, wiretap records, logbooks,
00:00:55.011 --> 00:00:58.081
Private island and photographic evidence.
00:00:58.081 --> 00:00:59.916
We don't know for sure if that's going to be in there,
00:00:59.916 --> 00:01:01.784
But any references to any of that stuff
00:01:01.784 --> 00:01:04.254
Very well might be in the grand jury documents.
00:01:04.254 --> 00:01:06.890
However, certain experts note
00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:08.291
That these transcripts may be limited in scope.
00:01:08.291 --> 00:01:11.327
They will focus on epstein and maxwell, not on the broader
00:01:11.327 --> 00:01:14.998
Allegations, among other high profile individuals, but still,
00:01:14.998 --> 00:01:18.034
This is a phenomenal development.
00:01:18.034 --> 00:01:19.636
And thank you, president trump,
00:01:19.636 --> 00:01:21.104
And thank you to this trump administration.
00:01:21.104 --> 00:01:23.273
So the team decided to play.
00:01:23.273 --> 00:01:24.707
You know, i get along with
00:01:24.707 --> 00:01:25.542
The help of my friends is a little bit
00:01:25.542 --> 00:01:27.277
Kind of a as a lighthearted joke
00:01:27.277 --> 00:01:29.179
And a little bit of a wink and a nod.
00:01:29.179 --> 00:01:31.214
You see, i went viral, this week because i said,
00:01:31.214 --> 00:01:34.918
Look, a lot of people that i know
00:01:34.918 --> 00:01:36.352
In the administration, my friends
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.720
In the white house staff and throughout the government,
00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:39.889
They were working on this, that your voices were heard
00:01:39.889 --> 00:01:43.026
Over the weekend at the student action summit,
00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:45.195
And people were mocking me.
00:01:45.195 --> 00:01:46.396
They said, oh, charlie, do you trust the government?
00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:48.231
I said, look, okay,
00:01:48.231 --> 00:01:49.465
Because i, i'm not saying i trust the government.
00:01:49.465 --> 00:01:51.701
I say, my friends are working on this.
00:01:51.701 --> 00:01:53.203
Well, it turns out it's well, it looks like they were.
00:01:53.203 --> 00:01:56.239
And they deserve great credit for it.
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.840
For all the white house staff, for everyone
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.542
That was involved in this,
00:01:59.542 --> 00:02:00.643
And especially, of course, the president.
00:02:00.643 --> 00:02:02.979
This is a massive move
00:02:02.979 --> 00:02:04.480
And one that is met with celebration
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.516
And one that is met with gratitude,
00:02:06.516 --> 00:02:08.418
And one that honestly shows that president trump
00:02:08.418 --> 00:02:10.587
Is moving in a transparent way that joe biden never moved.
00:02:10.587 --> 00:02:14.023
Joe biden very well could have moved to, unseal
00:02:14.023 --> 00:02:17.627
The grand jury documents.
00:02:17.627 --> 00:02:19.262
Many of these things have been in the works,
00:02:19.262 --> 00:02:21.898
And i didn't know how long
00:02:21.898 --> 00:02:23.333
Any of this was going to take, obviously.
00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:25.501
And look, this this show is full of, at times,
00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:28.071
Little easter eggs and tidbits.
00:02:28.071 --> 00:02:29.872
And instead of assuming the worst,
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:31.808
Perhaps i want everyone to see things more clearly.
00:02:31.808 --> 00:02:34.877
And again,
00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:35.979
Has president trump not earned our trust at this time?
00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.681
That's what i was trying to say back on monday.
00:02:38.681 --> 00:02:40.516
And maybe i said it a little imprecisely,
00:02:40.516 --> 00:02:42.285
After a sleepless weekend and a high adrenaline event,
00:02:42.285 --> 00:02:45.989
What i was trying to get
00:02:45.989 --> 00:02:46.956
At is after the tariffs, after the iran,
00:02:46.956 --> 00:02:49.759
After the iran situation, after all the successes,
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.929
President donald trump is worthy of our confidence.
00:02:52.929 --> 00:02:56.366
We should have a full confidence
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:57.900
Vote in president donald trump.
00:02:57.900 --> 00:02:59.936
And throughout the entire week, i know that there
00:02:59.936 --> 00:03:03.039
Was a lot of question of, hey, what's going on here?
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.508
What's going on here?
00:03:05.508 --> 00:03:06.676
And now? here we are on friday.
00:03:06.676 --> 00:03:08.578
Number one, he gets attacked just relentlessly
00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:11.314
By the wall street journal and such an uncalled for way.
00:03:11.314 --> 00:03:13.850
And we have his back
00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:14.884
100% against the smearing and the slandering.
00:03:14.884 --> 00:03:18.488
And then, number two,
00:03:18.488 --> 00:03:19.489
President donald trump has authorized pam bondi
00:03:19.489 --> 00:03:22.358
In a in a historic way to show a commitment
00:03:22.358 --> 00:03:25.428
To transparency and what he has said this entire week.
00:03:25.428 --> 00:03:29.999
And he has always had an ace in the hole to play.
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.003
Boom.
00:03:34.003 --> 00:03:35.238
Last night, president donald trump drops this massive news
00:03:35.238 --> 00:03:38.574
And president donald trump has been alluding
00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:40.443
To that all week.
00:03:40.443 --> 00:03:41.411
I want the credible information out.
00:03:41.411 --> 00:03:43.246
You know, if it's credible, we should get out in the grand
00:03:43.246 --> 00:03:45.081
Jury documentation
00:03:45.081 --> 00:03:46.215
Largely is credible and should be received as such.
00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:49.385
And also, let's just be honest, everybody,
00:03:49.385 --> 00:03:51.421
We do not want what has happened
00:03:51.421 --> 00:03:53.222
This last week to slow down the momentum
00:03:53.222 --> 00:03:55.358
Of this great administration.
00:03:55.358 --> 00:03:56.392
We're not going to let that happen on this program
00:03:56.392 --> 00:03:58.294
That is why we're going to cover this in just one segment.
00:03:58.294 --> 00:04:00.830
We have mike rowe later this week or later this hour.
00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:03.900
And then i'm going to talk about amnesty,
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:04.967
The next segment.
00:04:04.967 --> 00:04:05.802
This is very important.
00:04:05.802 --> 00:04:07.070
And the president deserves thanks.
00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:09.339
So for any of you in the audience
00:04:09.339 --> 00:04:10.907
That were a little uneasy, that a little anxious,
00:04:10.907 --> 00:04:13.876
I think it's morally incumbent on you to say
00:04:13.876 --> 00:04:16.212
Thank you, president trump.
00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:17.613
Thank you for stepping up and for doing this.
00:04:17.613 --> 00:04:20.350
Thank you, president trump, for fulfilling
00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:22.819
What you said you were going to do,
00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:24.253
Because he does deserve credit.
00:04:24.253 --> 00:04:25.421
And the entire white house administration deserves credit
00:04:25.421 --> 00:04:29.158
Because they've been dealing with 900 different things.
00:04:29.158 --> 00:04:32.095
And i know that patience in the time of social media
00:04:32.095 --> 00:04:35.298
Is a virtue that is lost.
00:04:35.298 --> 00:04:37.367
It's very difficult for a lot of us.
00:04:37.367 --> 00:04:38.568
I'm one of the most impatient people imaginable.
00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:40.370
My entire team will tell you, it's like, where's it going?
00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:42.205
What's happening in real time?
00:04:42.205 --> 00:04:43.606
Mike, you will attest to this.
00:04:43.606 --> 00:04:44.674
I'm the most
00:04:44.674 --> 00:04:45.708
One of the most impatient people ever created on
00:04:45.708 --> 00:04:48.044
God's green earth.
00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.245
But president donald trump, we should take a step back.
00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:51.080
He's doing a phenomenal job.
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:52.181
The border secure, the economy's doing much better.
00:04:52.181 --> 00:04:54.450
He's end wars all over the world
00:04:54.450 --> 00:04:56.352
That he has earned.
00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:58.855
One of my favorite words in the english language.
00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:01.424
He has earned our confidence.
00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:04.627
He has earned it.
00:05:04.627 --> 00:05:08.264
And i think we should say
00:05:08.831 --> 00:05:10.733
At this particular time, this is a massive move.
00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:14.904
It is a major move
00:05:14.904 --> 00:05:16.572
That is deserving of gratitude and of thanks
00:05:16.572 --> 00:05:19.475
With all the other stuff that he's working on.
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:23.179
But also, it was very fun to see nothing
00:05:23.179 --> 00:05:25.982
Unites maga like fake news, and it was also so interesting
00:05:25.982 --> 00:05:31.120
Because the doj news became second.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.823
It was very telling
00:05:33.823 --> 00:05:36.626
When to see
00:05:36.626 --> 00:05:38.995
Who actually came to the president's defense.
00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:42.131
When this wall street journal piece was dropped.
00:05:42.131 --> 00:05:44.200
It was very telling.
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:45.435
A lot of people are coming to
00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:46.502
The president's defense after the pam bondi news,
00:05:46.502 --> 00:05:49.572
But it was very telling
00:05:50.072 --> 00:05:52.308
That a lot of people did not defend the president there.
00:05:52.308 --> 00:05:56.279
I mean, this is so ridiculous. someone said what?
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.247
This is like the picture of donald trump,
00:05:58.247 --> 00:05:59.982
The donald trump did this.
00:05:59.982 --> 00:06:01.150
It's such a joke
00:06:01.150 --> 00:06:02.718
That, you know, he's like some sort of doodler.
00:06:02.718 --> 00:06:04.520
And now he's, you know, he's
00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:07.089
He's robert frost or something.
00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:08.758
As a poet. it doesn't read like him.
00:06:08.758 --> 00:06:10.960
It doesn't sound like him.
00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:11.794
I don't believe it.
00:06:11.794 --> 00:06:14.831
I will say, though,
00:06:14.831 --> 00:06:16.165
The wall street journal story does not pass the smell test.
00:06:16.165 --> 00:06:19.335
Why didn't democrats use this story years ago?
00:06:19.335 --> 00:06:21.804
It's a good question.
00:06:21.804 --> 00:06:22.872
Nothing unites maga quite like fake news.
00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:25.608
Last night was a big night.
00:06:25.608 --> 00:06:26.742
We say thank you, president trump,
00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:28.511
And now it's in the hands of the courts.
00:06:28.511 --> 00:06:30.279
It's in the hands of the department of justice.
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.381
And we'll see what happens next segment.
00:06:32.381 --> 00:06:34.350
We're going to cover some amnesty
00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:39.522
Lives are shattered in the holy land.
00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:43.759
In an instant, these families lost everything.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.797
The international fellowship
00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:49.832
Of christians and jews is on the ground to provide
00:06:49.832 --> 00:06:53.202
Food and shelter and emergency supplies and emergency.
00:06:53.202 --> 00:06:57.773
The gift of $45 will help thousands
00:06:57.773 --> 00:07:00.810
Of elderly and families with desperately needed food.
00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:04.146
Call it or go online now.
00:07:04.146 --> 00:07:06.215
Her whole body is bruised and wounded,
00:07:06.215 --> 00:07:09.986
And it's very clear
00:07:09.986 --> 00:07:11.187
That zelda is in no condition to find ways to get food.
00:07:11.187 --> 00:07:15.525
Food is critical and so is shelter from attack.
00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:18.694
The israeli government has asked the fellowship
00:07:18.694 --> 00:07:21.264
To urgently place 1000 mobile bomb shelters.
00:07:21.264 --> 00:07:24.834
You can place a mobile bomb shelter in israel.
00:07:24.834 --> 00:07:28.137
Right now, all we need
00:07:28.137 --> 00:07:29.572
Is for you to enable us to buy the shelters.
00:07:29.572 --> 00:07:33.175
My friends, the destruction is unprecedented.
00:07:33.175 --> 00:07:36.546
Please act now.
00:07:36.913 --> 00:07:39.382
I'm proud to partner with amac,
00:07:40.016 --> 00:07:41.551
The association
00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:42.552
Of mature american citizens, because they are
00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:44.420
The voice of mature americans
00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:46.022
Who love this country and believe
00:07:46.022 --> 00:07:47.690
In the core values of faith, family, and freedom.
00:07:47.690 --> 00:07:50.493
While other senior organizations
00:07:50.493 --> 00:07:51.894
Push a woke left wing agenda,
00:07:51.894 --> 00:07:53.729
Amac is doing the real work holding washington accountable.
00:07:53.729 --> 00:07:57.300
They're fighting to make the trump tax cuts permanent,
00:07:57.300 --> 00:07:59.602
Protect social security, defend election integrity,
00:07:59.602 --> 00:08:02.638
And push back against the radical policies
00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:04.907
Tearing our country apart. and the best part?
00:08:04.907 --> 00:08:07.009
A mac delivers real value for their members.

Not to mention the award winning a mac magazine
00:08:13.482 --> 00:08:15.818

Join me in a mac at a mac us kirk that is a mac's us.
00:08:28.264 --> 00:08:32.635
Do it today.
00:08:32.969 --> 00:08:36.003
Do it today.
00:08:36.003 --> 00:08:41.512
So i saw this clip and i know her.
00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:45.717
I know maria elvira salazar.
00:08:46.317 --> 00:08:49.187
I actually campaigned for her once.
00:08:49.187 --> 00:08:50.855
She's in a very cuban district, which is unusual.
00:08:50.855 --> 00:08:54.158
Why she's so pro amnesty,
00:08:54.158 --> 00:08:56.728
Being from a cuban venezuelan district,
00:08:56.728 --> 00:08:59.697
Because there's not a lot of illegals in her
00:08:59.697 --> 00:09:02.634
In the cuban demographic.
00:09:02.634 --> 00:09:03.835
Many of them have come here
00:09:03.835 --> 00:09:04.669
Legally or they came under
00:09:04.669 --> 00:09:06.037
Legitimate asylum or refugee status.
00:09:06.037 --> 00:09:08.072
So it doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:09:08.072 --> 00:09:10.041
It makes a lot more sense.
00:09:10.041 --> 00:09:11.376
If she was a representative from a border town in texas.
00:09:11.376 --> 00:09:16.514
But remember, we warned about this a couple weeks ago.
00:09:16.514 --> 00:09:19.517
I heard whispers of this yesterday.
00:09:19.517 --> 00:09:21.419
A u.s.
00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:22.320
Senator who i really respect texted me,
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.621
Charlie, real chance for amnesty on the hill.
00:09:23.621 --> 00:09:25.923
In fact, let me read you the text from this us senator.
00:09:25.923 --> 00:09:30.495
Let me see here, senator.
00:09:31.062 --> 00:09:32.597
Here it is.
00:09:32.597 --> 00:09:33.231
He said
00:09:33.231 --> 00:09:34.932
I she said we got to kill this amnesty push right now.
00:09:34.932 --> 00:09:37.435
I'm so grateful for your post on this.
00:09:37.435 --> 00:09:39.704
We really need to go hard on this.
00:09:39.704 --> 00:09:41.172
I said, is there really a big amnesty
00:09:41.172 --> 00:09:42.640
Push a question, he said, there is, yes.
00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:44.409
Unless we kill this quickly.
00:09:44.409 --> 00:09:45.576
So what's happened on congress?
00:09:45.576 --> 00:09:47.378
So the president doesn't want amnesty,
00:09:47.378 --> 00:09:48.980
But congress is going to try to frame this
00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:50.615
In a manipulative and deceitful way.
00:09:50.615 --> 00:09:52.316
Again, president donald trump
00:09:52.316 --> 00:09:53.418
Has been resolute and stalwart in this.
00:09:53.418 --> 00:09:55.453
So let's play this.
00:09:55.453 --> 00:09:56.654
This is maria elvira salazar, chief amnesty czar of the,
00:09:56.654 --> 00:10:00.825
U.s. congress, the dignity act.
00:10:00.825 --> 00:10:03.261
What is the one that i want to play, though?
00:10:03.261 --> 00:10:04.729
Oh, yeah.
00:10:04.729 --> 00:10:05.129
Play cut. 402.
00:10:05.129 --> 00:10:06.431
This is miss amnesty.
00:10:06.431 --> 00:10:08.066
Oh, no, no, no, it's not amnesty, but it's amnesty.
00:10:08.066 --> 00:10:10.401
If you ever say it's not amnesty, but it's 100% amnesty.
00:10:10.401 --> 00:10:14.605
This is low calorie amnesty.
00:10:15.206 --> 00:10:17.275
I'm sorry. it's still amnesty.
00:10:17.275 --> 00:10:18.943
Play cut. 402.
00:10:18.943 --> 00:10:20.578
They did break the law.
00:10:20.578 --> 00:10:21.879
They are illegals, are undocumented,
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.015
But they have been here
00:10:24.015 --> 00:10:25.149
For more than five years contributing to the economy.
00:10:25.149 --> 00:10:27.919
Those people, someone gave them a job
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.687
And they are needed because we need
00:10:29.687 --> 00:10:31.589
Hands in order to continue
00:10:31.589 --> 00:10:32.957
To be the number one economy in the world.
00:10:32.957 --> 00:10:35.193
So why don't we do something solomonic and let's break
00:10:35.193 --> 00:10:38.863
The baby into two.
00:10:38.863 --> 00:10:40.198
No path to citizenship in my law.
00:10:40.198 --> 00:10:42.567
No amnesty, no path ever.
00:10:42.567 --> 00:10:45.169
Just bring them out of the shadows.
00:10:45.169 --> 00:10:46.804
Make them pay a fine for seven years.
00:10:46.804 --> 00:10:49.140
That is billions of dollars to the treasury.
00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:51.576
Make them give us 1% of their salary over seven years.
00:10:51.576 --> 00:10:55.813
No federal programs, no health insurance.
00:10:55.813 --> 00:10:59.217
And then they can go back home for christmas.
00:10:59.217 --> 00:11:02.520
They can come back, continue working, buying homes, paying
00:11:02.520 --> 00:11:05.823
Taxes, and contributing to the economy first of all,
00:11:05.823 --> 00:11:09.627
She says, why don't we split the stomach
00:11:09.627 --> 00:11:11.262
Solomonic and split the baby into.
00:11:11.262 --> 00:11:13.231
I don't know if she was being metaphorical
00:11:13.231 --> 00:11:14.999
In first kings three.
00:11:14.999 --> 00:11:16.868
You guys can read it.
00:11:16.868 --> 00:11:17.802
That's not actually what happened anyway.
00:11:17.802 --> 00:11:19.504
That's a whole separate, whole separate biblical issue.
00:11:19.504 --> 00:11:21.572
First of all, maria elvira salazar,
00:11:21.572 --> 00:11:23.474
Let me tell you exactly how this is going to work.
00:11:23.474 --> 00:11:25.643
If you pass this ridiculous dignity act,
00:11:25.643 --> 00:11:28.980
This is what will happen.
00:11:29.547 --> 00:11:30.615
Every illegal will claim that they have been here
00:11:30.615 --> 00:11:32.650
For more than five years,
00:11:32.650 --> 00:11:33.885
Thus ending all deportation in real time.
00:11:33.885 --> 00:11:36.354
You see, maria, she's lying to you.
00:11:36.354 --> 00:11:38.322
Maria is deceived.
00:11:38.322 --> 00:11:39.524
You, congresswoman elvira salazar, is a snake
00:11:39.524 --> 00:11:43.461
On this topic.
00:11:43.461 --> 00:11:44.629
I just got to be honest
00:11:44.629 --> 00:11:45.663
Because she's like, oh, you know,
00:11:45.663 --> 00:11:46.464
We're going to have some dignity.
00:11:46.464 --> 00:11:47.598
No, no, no, this is not the dignity act.
00:11:47.598 --> 00:11:49.066
This is the stop deportation act of 2025.
00:11:49.066 --> 00:11:52.403
So imagine if you've been here for three years
00:11:52.403 --> 00:11:55.373
To say you've been here for five years.
00:11:55.373 --> 00:11:56.841
That's an easy fib.
00:11:56.841 --> 00:11:58.342
That is an easy lie.
00:11:58.342 --> 00:12:00.144
Maria elvira salazar.
00:12:00.144 --> 00:12:01.445
She's only in the house majority
00:12:01.445 --> 00:12:03.881
Because we voted for mass deportations.
00:12:03.881 --> 00:12:06.017
She says, well, no pathway to citizenship.
00:12:06.017 --> 00:12:08.085
So it's not amnesty.
00:12:08.085 --> 00:12:09.053
Yes. again, it's worse than amnesty.
00:12:09.053 --> 00:12:11.022
It grinds all the mass deportations that you voted for
00:12:11.022 --> 00:12:13.991
And remain massively popular to a halt.
00:12:13.991 --> 00:12:16.861
But of course, that is the whole point.
00:12:16.861 --> 00:12:18.296
And that is the kicker. everybody don't
00:12:18.296 --> 00:12:20.431
Look at the thing they're presenting to.
00:12:20.431 --> 00:12:22.233
You look at the actual thing that is being presented.
00:12:22.233 --> 00:12:25.336
It is a head fake.
00:12:25.336 --> 00:12:26.103
It is a smokescreen operation,
00:12:26.103 --> 00:12:27.572
And she's trying to prey on the best intentions of maga
00:12:27.572 --> 00:12:30.775
Because a lot of maga says,
00:12:30.775 --> 00:12:31.776
Yeah, i guess if you've been here
00:12:31.776 --> 00:12:32.944
For seven years,
00:12:32.944 --> 00:12:33.911
It's not about the seven years or eight years,
00:12:33.911 --> 00:12:36.147
Even though that's wrong and they should all go.
00:12:36.147 --> 00:12:37.782
It's about what it will do practically.
00:12:37.782 --> 00:12:40.985
It's about what it will do.
00:12:41.586 --> 00:12:43.087
So let me get this straight.
00:12:43.087 --> 00:12:44.288
Maria elvira salazar, we passed this standing amazing
00:12:44.288 --> 00:12:49.327
Allocation of $100 billion for ice.
00:12:50.094 --> 00:12:53.531
And we have all these ice
00:12:53.531 --> 00:12:54.599
Agents who effectively will now be able to deport
00:12:54.599 --> 00:12:57.435
Like a couple thousand people a year
00:12:57.435 --> 00:12:59.237
Because all that they have to do and get how stupid this is,
00:12:59.237 --> 00:13:02.607
All someone has to do now is wait for their five year mark.
00:13:02.607 --> 00:13:05.509
They just have to avoid law enforcement till five years.
00:13:05.509 --> 00:13:08.412
So they just have to bounce around the country,
00:13:08.412 --> 00:13:10.448
To sanctuary city, to sanctuary city
00:13:10.448 --> 00:13:12.350
Until they hit five years and then they're fine.
00:13:12.350 --> 00:13:15.086
This is madness.
00:13:15.086 --> 00:13:16.654
This is a congressionally created corporate driven
00:13:16.654 --> 00:13:19.657
Loophole.
00:13:19.657 --> 00:13:20.691
So i'm going to split the baby.
00:13:20.691 --> 00:13:22.693
Sit down.
00:13:22.693 --> 00:13:23.594
Maria elvira, we didn't vote for this.
00:13:23.594 --> 00:13:25.596
I don't know who you are or what you think you're doing.
00:13:25.596 --> 00:13:27.832
I campaigned for you once.
00:13:27.832 --> 00:13:29.700
This is a joke. this is a fraud.
00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:31.936
And if you want to go run with the democrats
00:13:31.936 --> 00:13:33.537
To go push amnesty, it's 100% amnesty.
00:13:33.537 --> 00:13:35.740
Because what it would do.
00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.674
Oh, it will not give them citizenship.
00:13:36.674 --> 00:13:38.242
It will end all of what we voted for.
00:13:38.242 --> 00:13:41.879
We did not have the rallies.
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.214
And millions of people vote in first time numbers.
00:13:43.214 --> 00:13:45.883
So we could have the ice agents who are getting docs
00:13:45.883 --> 00:13:49.120
And having their lives put in danger,
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.055
Not being able to do their job.
00:13:51.055 --> 00:13:52.790
I want to just play one more piece of tape here
00:13:52.790 --> 00:13:55.760
From maria elvira salazar.
00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:59.497
Let's go. oh, it's not in english.
00:13:59.497 --> 00:14:01.632
A fitting play cut for 28
00:14:01.632 --> 00:14:04.302
Silent
00:14:04.502 --> 00:14:05.703
L meanwhile, the oscar salazar
00:14:05.703 --> 00:14:08.139
De la muerte in pennsylvania, new york.
00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:11.976
The title of know why lincoln contra de todo
00:14:11.976 --> 00:14:15.179
El mismo diosdado por pedro so i can.
00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:17.615
We don't need you on this list.
00:14:17.615 --> 00:14:19.083
And rolando reporting need to know what amnesia
00:14:19.083 --> 00:14:22.420
Senate president jose state puede hacer para immigration
00:14:22.420 --> 00:14:25.923
Lo q lincoln para two de reagan para el como animal.
00:14:25.923 --> 00:14:29.794
She said b for b for dignity, the same way that lincoln
00:14:29.794 --> 00:14:33.097
Was against slavery and reagan was against communism.
00:14:33.097 --> 00:14:35.933
Measures gross. i'm sorry.
00:14:35.933 --> 00:14:37.468
That is disgusting.
00:14:37.468 --> 00:14:38.703
That is repulsive to kind of like, morally blackmailed maga.
00:14:38.703 --> 00:14:42.106
As if this is like the new fight
00:14:42.106 --> 00:14:43.841
For the abolition of slavery. how about this, maria?
00:14:43.841 --> 00:14:46.477
Go home.
00:14:46.477 --> 00:14:47.745
Not you, but to the people that you're trying to protect.
00:14:47.745 --> 00:14:50.348
Go home. stop trying to guilt trip us.
00:14:50.348 --> 00:14:52.516
Stop the moral blackmail.
00:14:52.516 --> 00:14:54.385
We have no record keeping of any of the stuff
00:14:54.385 --> 00:14:56.253
You broke into america.
00:14:56.253 --> 00:14:57.521
You get to viacom deals, go with god
00:14:57.521 --> 00:15:03.594
If you're a homeowner, you
00:15:04.161 --> 00:15:05.329
Need to listen to this in today's ai and cyber world.
00:15:05.329 --> 00:15:08.232
Scammers are stealing home
00:15:08.232 --> 00:15:09.934
Titles and your equity is the target.
00:15:09.934 --> 00:15:12.236
Here's how it works.
00:15:12.236 --> 00:15:13.237
Criminals forge your signature on one document.
00:15:13.237 --> 00:15:15.606
Use a fake notary stamp.
00:15:15.606 --> 00:15:17.308
Pay a small fee with your county.
00:15:17.308 --> 00:15:19.510
And just like that, your home title
00:15:19.510 --> 00:15:21.345
Has been transferred out of your name.
00:15:21.345 --> 00:15:23.114
Then they take out
00:15:23.114 --> 00:15:24.215
Loans using your equity or even sell your property,
00:15:24.215 --> 00:15:27.084
And you won't even know it's happened
00:15:27.084 --> 00:15:28.719

Joining us now is the legendary mike ro.
00:16:14.566 --> 00:16:17.335
Mike, thank you so much for taking the time.
00:16:17.335 --> 00:16:19.337
I want to start with cut four for four and we'll
00:16:19.337 --> 00:16:21.373
We'll take it from there.
00:16:21.373 --> 00:16:22.107
Play cut for four for
00:16:22.107 --> 00:16:24.176
We've been telling kids for 15 years to code learn to code.
00:16:24.176 --> 00:16:28.547
We said yeah, well ai's coming for the coders.
00:16:28.547 --> 00:16:32.317
They're not coming for the welders.
00:16:32.317 --> 00:16:34.386
They're not coming for the plumbers.
00:16:34.386 --> 00:16:36.421
They're not coming
00:16:36.421 --> 00:16:37.556
For the steam fitters or the pipefitters or the hvac.
00:16:37.556 --> 00:16:40.692
They're not coming for the electricians.
00:16:40.692 --> 00:16:43.195
You know that, ideas festival.
00:16:43.195 --> 00:16:45.330
I was telling you about an aspen.
00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:46.965
I sat there and listened to larry fink say,
00:16:46.965 --> 00:16:50.402
We need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years.
00:16:50.402 --> 00:16:55.340
Not hyperbole.
00:16:55.674 --> 00:16:57.309
It's this is me being the alarmist again.
00:16:57.309 --> 00:17:00.579
Mike, that clip went so viral.
00:17:00.579 --> 00:17:02.747
Thank you for saying that.
00:17:02.747 --> 00:17:04.516
Tell us
00:17:04.516 --> 00:17:05.650
More about where you said it and the significance of,
00:17:05.650 --> 00:17:08.954
Your push to rebuild blue collar america.
00:17:08.954 --> 00:17:12.023
Mike rowe thanks, charlie.
00:17:12.023 --> 00:17:14.059
Yeah.
00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:15.794
What?
00:17:15.794 --> 00:17:16.828
One of the craziest events i've ever attended,
00:17:16.828 --> 00:17:19.998
Simply because of its import.
00:17:19.998 --> 00:17:22.934
And i think the lack of coverage that
00:17:22.934 --> 00:17:25.704
It's gotten, this was the energy and i
00:17:25.704 --> 00:17:28.840
Summit convened in pittsburgh a couple days ago
00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:32.944
By both sitting senators of that state.
00:17:32.944 --> 00:17:36.348
This was primarily, david mccormick's event.
00:17:36.348 --> 00:17:40.418
He's the republican,
00:17:40.418 --> 00:17:41.453
But john fetterman was there, the democrat,
00:17:41.453 --> 00:17:44.656
Along with hundreds of people and 30 or 40 of the ceos
00:17:44.656 --> 00:17:50.195
Of the biggest companies in the country.
00:17:50.195 --> 00:17:52.797
And the president was there.
00:17:52.797 --> 00:17:54.799
I was on the stage with the president and 30 ceos, and,
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:59.671
I mean, everybody was there, and i think i got invited,
00:17:59.671 --> 00:18:04.442
To sort of remind the crowd
00:18:04.442 --> 00:18:08.013
That creating jobs is different
00:18:08.013 --> 00:18:11.349
Than creating enthusiasm for jobs.
00:18:11.349 --> 00:18:15.053
And, you know, i'm kind of a debbie downer
00:18:15.053 --> 00:18:18.290
In a situation like that because i think a lot of people
00:18:18.290 --> 00:18:21.793
Still cling to this idea that the way to get people back
00:18:21.793 --> 00:18:25.230
To work is to create jobs or create more opportunity, but
00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:29.467
That kind of collapses under its own weight.
00:18:29.467 --> 00:18:32.337
When you look at 7.6 million open jobs at the moment,
00:18:32.337 --> 00:18:36.241
Including 500,000 open jobs in manufacturing.
00:18:36.241 --> 00:18:39.578
So in general, charlie, my my message was, look,
00:18:39.578 --> 00:18:44.082
I was rooting for obama in 2009 when he promised
00:18:44.082 --> 00:18:47.819
3 million shovel
00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:48.853
Ready jobs in his highway infrastructure act.
00:18:48.853 --> 00:18:51.723
But i said at the time, very publicly,
00:18:51.723 --> 00:18:55.193
You're going to have a tough time
00:18:55.193 --> 00:18:56.394
Selling 3 million shovel ready jobs to a country
00:18:56.394 --> 00:18:58.930
That is not all that enthused about picking up a shovel.
00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:01.933
And i, i worry to today with this president
00:19:01.933 --> 00:19:05.570
If he succeeds and i'm rooting for him too.
00:19:05.570 --> 00:19:08.440
I want to see reshoring.
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.941
I want to see this re industrialization
00:19:09.941 --> 00:19:12.210
In this country, this manufacturing renaissance.
00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:15.113
But he's going to create a couple million jobs
00:19:15.113 --> 00:19:18.016
If he pulls this off.
00:19:18.016 --> 00:19:19.484
And we're living in a world and in a moment where we got
00:19:19.484 --> 00:19:22.921
500,000 jobs in manufacturing right now that we can't fill.
00:19:22.921 --> 00:19:27.058
It's it's it's not one person doing a really foolish thing.
00:19:27.058 --> 00:19:31.162
It's a lot of people standing by watching a lot of dumb
00:19:31.162 --> 00:19:35.333
Things happen, including and perhaps especially
00:19:35.333 --> 00:19:38.903
The removal of shop class from high school
00:19:38.903 --> 00:19:41.673
That really taught us that put us on a road,
00:19:41.673 --> 00:19:44.809
Charlie, a bad road.
00:19:44.809 --> 00:19:46.511
So that's kind of why i was there.
00:19:46.511 --> 00:19:48.747
And the only suit and tie that i actually own, testified
00:19:48.747 --> 00:19:52.384
So so yes i love that.
00:19:52.384 --> 00:19:54.586
So i want to i want to zero in on that
00:19:54.586 --> 00:19:55.887
Because that's so important.
00:19:55.887 --> 00:19:57.455
So so number one i can speak from personal experience.
00:19:57.455 --> 00:20:00.425
I've never really big into been into crafts or shop,
00:20:00.425 --> 00:20:03.728
Just not my my focus or emphasis.
00:20:03.728 --> 00:20:05.530
But i went to school at wheeling high school
00:20:05.530 --> 00:20:06.965
In the suburbs of chicago,
00:20:06.965 --> 00:20:08.266
And we had a huge automotives and shop class.
00:20:08.266 --> 00:20:10.702
However, it was always treated as if those were kind of
00:20:10.702 --> 00:20:14.506
Like the the secondary kids.
00:20:14.506 --> 00:20:17.342
Like, those are the kids that were not
00:20:17.342 --> 00:20:19.210
They're not in the ap classes, and they're not
00:20:19.210 --> 00:20:21.579
The ones that are going to be getting the good jobs.
00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:23.715
And it was kind of looked down upon.
00:20:23.715 --> 00:20:25.083
Again, it wasn't
00:20:25.083 --> 00:20:26.117
Said, you know, as audibly, but it was a vibe.
00:20:26.117 --> 00:20:28.720
It was definitely the perspective
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.823
That we were given that, come on, you're going to,
00:20:31.823 --> 00:20:34.659
You know, you're going to shop class.
00:20:34.659 --> 00:20:36.628
What are you you're kind of like beneath the surface
00:20:36.628 --> 00:20:39.097
So that we need to change that.
00:20:39.097 --> 00:20:41.299
But i want to just in the 3.5 minutes
00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:42.901
We have in this segment, because it's
00:20:42.901 --> 00:20:43.735
The most important thing.
00:20:43.735 --> 00:20:45.003
We could talk about the vibes and the cultural stuff forever.
00:20:45.003 --> 00:20:47.305
Can you go through the numbers?
00:20:47.305 --> 00:20:48.640
Mike rowe
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.841
How many of these muscular jobs are going to be necessary?
00:20:49.841 --> 00:20:53.144
How many ai jobs are going to be lost,
00:20:53.144 --> 00:20:55.613
And how many job openings
00:20:55.613 --> 00:20:57.048
Are there right now in america that pay a decent wage,
00:20:57.048 --> 00:21:00.418
That require a little bit of skill,
00:21:00.418 --> 00:21:02.420
A little bit of training, and a lot of hard work?
00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:05.056
What is the current economic numbers showing us?
00:21:05.056 --> 00:21:08.126
I can tell you what i know.
00:21:08.727 --> 00:21:10.462
I don't have
00:21:10.462 --> 00:21:11.629
A crystal ball, obviously, so i'm not sure exactly how
00:21:11.629 --> 00:21:13.865
This is going to play out.
00:21:13.865 --> 00:21:15.066
But in real time right now we have 7.6 million open jobs,
00:21:15.066 --> 00:21:19.571
The vast majority of which do not require a four year degree.
00:21:19.571 --> 00:21:23.775
They require training.
00:21:23.775 --> 00:21:26.411
Within that cohort, we've got another 482,000 jobs
00:21:26.411 --> 00:21:30.048
That are open in manufacturing right now.
00:21:30.048 --> 00:21:33.885
I can't tell you a definitively what they pay
00:21:33.885 --> 00:21:38.656
And what kind of path you're going to get on
00:21:38.656 --> 00:21:41.259
If you jump into that end of the pool.
00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:43.962
Because state by state, it varies that
00:21:43.962 --> 00:21:47.165
This is the thing, charlie. it's a trap.
00:21:47.165 --> 00:21:49.701
You know, we
00:21:49.701 --> 00:21:50.869
We want to be able to say this is what a welder makes.
00:21:50.869 --> 00:21:54.706
Well, you know, i've trained 2500 welders.
00:21:54.706 --> 00:21:58.543
Many of them are making well into the six figures.
00:21:58.543 --> 00:22:02.380
I just talked to a guy
00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:03.415
The other day who came back from the gulf of oman.
00:22:03.415 --> 00:22:06.551
Underwater welding 300 grand a year, tax free.
00:22:06.551 --> 00:22:09.821
Okay, now,
00:22:09.821 --> 00:22:11.089
There are also welders in this country
00:22:11.089 --> 00:22:12.690
Making 55, $60,000 in louisiana and ohio.
00:22:12.690 --> 00:22:17.128
So it's difficult, right?
00:22:17.128 --> 00:22:19.330
But here's what gets lost.
00:22:19.330 --> 00:22:21.366
And here's what i'll leave you with,
00:22:21.366 --> 00:22:22.700
Because i know you got to go to a break.
00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:24.903
People talk about welders and electricians
00:22:24.903 --> 00:22:27.405
And steam fitters and pipefitters as workers.
00:22:27.405 --> 00:22:30.642
Period.
00:22:30.642 --> 00:22:31.910
The vast majority of small businesses
00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:35.380
We have in this country
00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:36.881
Were formed by men and women, but mostly men
00:22:36.881 --> 00:22:40.218
Who mastered a skill that was in demand
00:22:40.218 --> 00:22:43.621
And then went on to buy
00:22:43.621 --> 00:22:44.923
A couple of vans and hire their buddy, maybe a plumber,
00:22:44.923 --> 00:22:47.759
Maybe a couple of hvac guys, maybe some electricians.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.862
And now they have a mechanical
00:22:50.862 --> 00:22:52.163
Contracting company
00:22:52.163 --> 00:22:53.331
And they're doing a few million bucks a year.
00:22:53.331 --> 00:22:55.500
Those stories need to be told as well,
00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:58.970
Because even though that event i was just at, that was all
00:22:58.970 --> 00:23:02.607
About the macro economy.
00:23:02.607 --> 00:23:04.509
That was macro works on micro works.
00:23:04.509 --> 00:23:07.445
Right.
00:23:07.645 --> 00:23:08.780
And i, i don't want to lose sight of the individual.
00:23:08.780 --> 00:23:11.049
I don't want to
00:23:11.049 --> 00:23:12.116
Lose sight of the the fact that mastering a skill
00:23:12.116 --> 00:23:15.520
That's in demand can still take the right person
00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:19.257
With a modicum of entrepreneurial spirit
00:23:19.257 --> 00:23:22.126
And a little bit of ambition.
00:23:22.126 --> 00:23:24.128
It'll put that person on a road.
00:23:24.128 --> 00:23:26.531
And that road leads to some some place that looks an awful
00:23:26.531 --> 00:23:29.868
Lot like prosperity.
00:23:29.868 --> 00:23:31.569
Mike rowe works.
00:23:31.569 --> 00:23:32.971
Might come back any time.
00:23:32.971 --> 00:23:34.272
You are doing phenomenal work.
00:23:34.272 --> 00:23:36.407
And charlie, you.
00:23:36.407 --> 00:23:37.408
I think i'll get over seeing you in a suit.
00:23:37.408 --> 00:23:38.977
I think i'll get over it, but, we'll see what happens.
00:23:38.977 --> 00:23:43.848
As a christian, have you always considered
00:23:44.716 --> 00:23:46.484
Yourself pro-israel but not sure where you stand today?
00:23:46.484 --> 00:23:49.354
Let me help you make it simple.
00:23:49.354 --> 00:23:50.889
Israel protects christian holy sites, defends religious
00:23:50.889 --> 00:23:53.758
Freedom, and stands as the only democracy
00:23:53.758 --> 00:23:55.927
In a region dominated by extremism.
00:23:55.927 --> 00:23:58.129
Israel is both a strategic and moral ally
00:23:58.129 --> 00:24:00.999
Who's facing the same enemies
00:24:00.999 --> 00:24:02.500
And threats that we do right here in america.
