Charlie Kirk Today | Citizen Kane: January 23, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 23, 2026

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:14.904
The whole country.
00:00:15.338 --> 00:00:16.406
You should get a studio, get some weather models
00:00:16.406 --> 00:00:18.475
Of like this plunging cold that's going down.
00:00:18.475 --> 00:00:21.211
I mean, they're going to get snow all over texas.
00:00:21.211 --> 00:00:23.413
It's it's basically like arizona, southern california
00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:26.616
And florida are going to be a little bit immune.
00:00:26.616 --> 00:00:29.052
But even here it's going to be a little colder.
00:00:29.052 --> 00:00:30.920
But we're going to
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:31.955
This is this is a good time to be in arizona.
00:00:31.955 --> 00:00:33.356
So, maybe you guys should, consider a plane ticket.
00:00:33.356 --> 00:00:36.926
Get yourself over here.
00:00:36.926 --> 00:00:38.228
Before. before it's too late.
00:00:38.228 --> 00:00:40.964
But this morning we were hit by two main news stories.
00:00:40.964 --> 00:00:45.135
It actually, i could say three.
00:00:45.135 --> 00:00:47.837
There is arrests
00:00:47.837 --> 00:00:50.473
Happening in minneapolis.
00:00:50.473 --> 00:00:53.042
They obviously they stormed a church on sunday.
00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:57.714
Don lemon, don lemon was there as a part of this.
00:00:57.714 --> 00:01:00.650
A lot of uproar. i was pretty upset about it.
00:01:00.650 --> 00:01:02.819
We were pretty worked up about it.
00:01:02.819 --> 00:01:04.420
Pretty disgusting stuff.
00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:05.822
Honestly.
00:01:05.822 --> 00:01:06.890
And now there are arrests happening.
00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:09.125
We have nick levy, armstrong,
00:01:09.125 --> 00:01:12.662
Who is now been arrested.
00:01:13.229 --> 00:01:15.465
She was the instigator of this protest,
00:01:15.465 --> 00:01:18.968
If you want to call it a protest.
00:01:18.968 --> 00:01:20.370
Pretty disgusting.
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.204
Face act violations. incoming.
00:01:21.204 --> 00:01:23.072
They're also charging her, which is an ironic
00:01:23.072 --> 00:01:25.175
If you look at that image
00:01:25.175 --> 00:01:26.309
Like they're charging her on the kkk act, potentially.
00:01:26.309 --> 00:01:30.013
And so that i'll just let
00:01:30.013 --> 00:01:32.315
The irony speak for itself here in that image.
00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:35.618
And then there was a second arrest
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.687
That's been announced already, saint paul school board member
00:01:37.687 --> 00:01:40.690
Sean till allen, and she's in federal custody.
00:01:40.690 --> 00:01:44.827
I'm told more, more arrests are incoming.
00:01:44.827 --> 00:01:48.932
I we heard,
00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:50.767
By the way, that pam bondi was going to be in minneapolis.
00:01:50.767 --> 00:01:53.703
Then there was a day of silence.
00:01:53.703 --> 00:01:55.038
We didn't hear anything.
00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:56.105
Then boom, this morning we get to arrest.
00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:59.309
I think this is important because accountability matters.
00:01:59.309 --> 00:02:02.212
There are arrests happening all over with protesters
00:02:02.212 --> 00:02:05.014
That are not nationally known figures.
00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:06.583
The stories didn't go nationally viral.
00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:08.151
There's dozens and dozens of arrests happening every day.
00:02:08.151 --> 00:02:11.254
I want to be clear about that.
00:02:11.254 --> 00:02:12.789
But when you have something this high profile, this viral,
00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:17.060
You know, occur in minneapolis, it involves christians.
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:19.562
It involves a church, you see crying
00:02:19.562 --> 00:02:20.897
Kids, total bad optics for the for the dems, for the libs.
00:02:20.897 --> 00:02:24.767
It's important that there is an accountability measure.
00:02:24.767 --> 00:02:27.537
There's a full circle moment that and i'll be frank,
00:02:27.537 --> 00:02:29.839
I'm glad i was a little worried that the first person
00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:33.109
They would try to arrest would be don lemon.
00:02:33.109 --> 00:02:35.578
Don lemon, because it's the most high profile one
00:02:35.578 --> 00:02:39.115
Who got the most attention on what's a question on tv.
00:02:39.115 --> 00:02:42.085
Do you think he should be arrested?
00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:43.219
Honestly, i would, i think his behavior was very bad, but
00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:47.523
He and he does definitely support the protest.
00:02:48.424 --> 00:02:51.060
But he's also he's not the one.
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.495
He's not screaming in there.
00:02:52.495 --> 00:02:53.997
He is just sort of following in the background.
00:02:53.997 --> 00:02:56.399
And i think you'd have to want to be clear.
00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:58.501
Did someone tell him to leave?
00:02:58.501 --> 00:02:59.702
Did someone make it clear he also wasn't welcome there?
00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:02.972
I'd love to know more facts about it specifically.
00:03:02.972 --> 00:03:05.475
But you want to be careful that you aren't just grabbing
00:03:05.475 --> 00:03:08.144
The most famous thing. the most emotional thing.
00:03:08.144 --> 00:03:09.779
I'm glad that they bothered to arrest
00:03:09.779 --> 00:03:12.682
The actual ringleaders for.
00:03:12.682 --> 00:03:13.983
Oh, you're right, it's the baltimore sound.
00:03:13.983 --> 00:03:15.618
Go for
00:03:15.618 --> 00:03:16.719
The more legally sound stuff, because it's so easy
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.821
To seize on what is emotionally cathartic.
00:03:18.821 --> 00:03:22.592
But what you want is the end result
00:03:22.592 --> 00:03:24.527
That's really strong, and we want to have a case that
00:03:24.527 --> 00:03:26.929
You can get a conviction on,
00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:28.131
Or at least a very credible case that can show
00:03:28.131 --> 00:03:31.734
That there is a cost to doing this,
00:03:31.734 --> 00:03:34.437
And you want that degree of, well,
00:03:34.437 --> 00:03:36.806
I actually i actually agree with this.
00:03:36.806 --> 00:03:38.474
And some of you
00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:39.475
In the audience, i'd love to hear your thoughts
00:03:39.475 --> 00:03:40.443
Because i have a feeling
00:03:40.443 --> 00:03:41.377
You're going to disagree with me on this.
00:03:41.377 --> 00:03:42.512
And i'm sort of i'm sympathetic to what blake is saying,
00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:45.315
Because what you don't want to do
00:03:45.315 --> 00:03:46.616
Is you don't want to create martyr.
00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:48.017
So email is freedom at charlie kirk.com.
00:03:48.017 --> 00:03:50.887
It kind of reminds me of the senator kelly thing.
00:03:50.887 --> 00:03:53.823
You got to understand.
00:03:53.823 --> 00:03:54.857
So senator kelly did an obscene thing.
00:03:54.857 --> 00:03:57.026
He told troops to basically disobey orders.
00:03:57.026 --> 00:03:59.195
Now he called them unlawful orders.
00:03:59.195 --> 00:04:00.897
But who the heck is to define what an unlawful order is?
00:04:00.897 --> 00:04:03.333
He knew darn well that he was saying, disobey direct orders.
00:04:03.333 --> 00:04:07.737
He's getting an administrative punishment,
00:04:07.737 --> 00:04:10.106
So he's going to get probably demoted.
00:04:10.106 --> 00:04:11.908
His pay is going to be docked.
00:04:11.908 --> 00:04:13.109
It's dishonorable.
00:04:13.109 --> 00:04:13.910
If you are in the military,
00:04:13.910 --> 00:04:15.278
You know that that's a dishonorable thing to happen.
00:04:15.278 --> 00:04:17.146
That's a very insulting, embarrassing thing to happen.
00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:20.316
But when you're a sitting senator,
00:04:20.316 --> 00:04:21.584
You got to also consider
00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:23.353
That senator kelly is probably he
00:04:23.353 --> 00:04:25.855
He says he has not ruled out running for president,
00:04:25.855 --> 00:04:28.424
Which means he's strongly considering it.
00:04:28.424 --> 00:04:30.760
And so if you come after him with the full weight and force
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:33.730
Of the federal government, guess what's
00:04:33.730 --> 00:04:34.864
What's going to happen?
00:04:34.864 --> 00:04:36.065
He's become a folk hero. he's going to become a martyr.
00:04:36.065 --> 00:04:37.867
He's going to use that in every single
00:04:37.867 --> 00:04:39.836
Ad running for president.
00:04:39.836 --> 00:04:41.170
And he's an awful senator. he's a terrible guy.
00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:43.239
There's an apple file a mile long about this guy
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.441
In the state of arizona.
00:04:45.441 --> 00:04:46.776
So, okay, now here's what i will say.
00:04:46.776 --> 00:04:50.146
Don lemon probably deserves to get prosecuted.
00:04:50.146 --> 00:04:53.282
He was seen kissing this woman that was just arrested
00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:56.452
Before they protested the church.
00:04:57.153 --> 00:04:58.821
And then he's the legal
00:04:58.821 --> 00:04:59.722
Because he said then now he's claiming
00:04:59.722 --> 00:05:01.891
He was an independent investigator,
00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:03.192
Which are a journalist.
00:05:03.192 --> 00:05:04.394
That's garbage.
00:05:04.394 --> 00:05:05.928
He's kissing her.
00:05:05.928 --> 00:05:06.996
Then he says on video, we have this
00:05:06.996 --> 00:05:10.533
Thank you for your service.
00:05:10.533 --> 00:05:12.168
And it is no mystery that he was very in favor
00:05:12.168 --> 00:05:15.905
Of what was going on with this moment at the church,
00:05:15.905 --> 00:05:19.075
She said, you got to make you got to traumatize people.
00:05:19.075 --> 00:05:20.943
Sometimes you got to make them uncomfortable.
00:05:20.943 --> 00:05:22.345
That's protesting it.
00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:23.546
And then he goes in with,
00:05:23.546 --> 00:05:25.281
Attorney general keith ellison and he says, you know,
00:05:25.281 --> 00:05:28.050
That's the essence of the first amendment.
00:05:28.050 --> 00:05:29.485
No, don lemon, you're an idiot.
00:05:29.485 --> 00:05:31.754
You're not a smart person.
00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:32.989
You're a washed up has been who's fighting for relevancy.
00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:35.725
We know exactly what your game is.
00:05:35.725 --> 00:05:37.627
You got ran out of cnn, you backstab,
00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:40.930
Stabbed your friend chris cuomo, by the way,
00:05:40.930 --> 00:05:42.799
Which is a real peach of a move.
00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:44.734
And then you're out there acting like an idiot.
00:05:44.734 --> 00:05:46.469
And you probably do deserve to get punished legally.
00:05:46.469 --> 00:05:50.072
You were.
00:05:50.072 --> 00:05:50.406
You chased
00:05:50.406 --> 00:05:51.040
A guy around the property
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.008
Trying to press him with fake questions.
00:05:52.008 --> 00:05:53.843
You knew it was an operation.
00:05:53.843 --> 00:05:55.545
And you know, the point is, though, listen, i'm.
00:05:55.545 --> 00:05:58.414
I'm in favor. maybe give him a slap on the wrist.
00:05:58.414 --> 00:06:00.850
But if he doesn't sound.
00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:02.351
The craziest part is don lemon kissing a woman.
00:06:02.351 --> 00:06:05.254
No, i mean, listen, that's how you know,
00:06:06.122 --> 00:06:08.424
He was really passionate about it.
00:06:08.424 --> 00:06:10.193
You know, and everybody wants me
00:06:10.193 --> 00:06:11.761
To break up the fact he's married to a white guy.
00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:13.463
I got it, okay? what?
00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:14.764
Who cares?
00:06:14.764 --> 00:06:16.199
Well, i mean, he's not married because you can't get.
00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:18.201
You can't. well, but it's not real.
00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:20.269
It's not real. but anyway.
00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:21.537
But we digress. we digress.
00:06:21.537 --> 00:06:23.973
But the point is, i actually think.
00:06:23.973 --> 00:06:26.609
Don't make don lemon a martyr.
00:06:26.609 --> 00:06:28.177
He's not worth it.
00:06:28.177 --> 00:06:29.345
He's not worth our time. okay?
00:06:29.345 --> 00:06:31.147
If he does it again,
00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:32.114
If he keeps doing this stuff, sure, fine.
00:06:32.114 --> 00:06:34.183
Throw the book at him. but right now, let's move on.
00:06:34.183 --> 00:06:36.018
We got bigger fish to fry here, folks.
00:06:36.018 --> 00:06:38.187
Then the other story that's happening right now
00:06:38.187 --> 00:06:41.324
Is we've got jack smith testifying before congress.
00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:46.262
Jim jordan, by the way.
00:06:46.262 --> 00:06:47.597
I know there's some people that feel this way or that about,
00:06:47.597 --> 00:06:50.299
Congressman jim jordan.
00:06:50.299 --> 00:06:51.567
I think he's great.
00:06:51.567 --> 00:06:52.768
You know, there's. yeah, fine.
00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:55.638
Send us your emails. freedom at charlie kirk.com.
00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.940
He gave an amazing
00:06:57.940 --> 00:07:00.643
Five minute cross-examination of jack smith on the failed,
00:07:00.643 --> 00:07:05.248
Cassidy hutchinson, the disgraced,
00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:08.417
The discredited testimony
00:07:08.417 --> 00:07:10.086
That she gave that president trump was lunging across,
00:07:10.086 --> 00:07:12.989
You know, in the beast in the back of the beast,
00:07:12.989 --> 00:07:15.024
Where it was a cartoon image.
00:07:15.024 --> 00:07:16.726
It was really like it's something
00:07:16.726 --> 00:07:18.394
That a person on blue sky like, wants to believe happen.
00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:21.764
They want a cartoon.
00:07:21.764 --> 00:07:22.532
It's a liberal.
00:07:22.532 --> 00:07:23.432
For anyone who has watched president trump
00:07:23.432 --> 00:07:25.201
Do anything that was, he would never.
00:07:25.201 --> 00:07:26.903
He doesn't like that man
00:07:26.903 --> 00:07:28.070
Ever lunged in his like deliberate his movements.
00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:30.940
And this is what was great.
00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:32.675
Despite this being discredited, the unselect j six committee
00:07:32.675 --> 00:07:36.879
Mentioned cassidy hutchinson testimony over 120 times
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.850
Because they're a bunch of frauds. we'll be right back.
00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:46.022
The wounds from
00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:47.390
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:47.390 --> 00:07:50.526
Behind me rises
00:07:50.893 --> 00:07:52.094
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:52.094 --> 00:07:55.765
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:55.765 --> 00:07:59.502
Entire communities shattered.
00:08:00.136 --> 00:08:02.238
Families displaced.
00:08:02.238 --> 00:08:03.973
And each day,
00:08:03.973 --> 00:08:05.074
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:08:05.074 --> 00:08:09.045
But the bible says it clearly.
00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:11.314
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:08:11.314 --> 00:08:15.484
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:08:15.484 --> 00:08:17.253
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:08:17.253 --> 00:08:19.789
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:08:19.789 --> 00:08:22.358
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:08:22.358 --> 00:08:24.193
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:08:24.193 --> 00:08:26.395
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:08:26.395 --> 00:08:28.831
And the traumatized.
00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:30.399
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.402
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:36.606
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:36.606 --> 00:08:39.642
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:39.642 --> 00:08:42.612
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:42.612 --> 00:08:47.002
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:47.002 --> 00:08:52.554
Now we got to get we got to do.
00:08:53.188 --> 00:08:54.356
This is like housekeeping.
00:08:54.356 --> 00:08:55.890
It's like family business.
00:08:55.890 --> 00:08:57.158
We just got to
00:08:57.158 --> 00:08:58.259
Get through this morass of, like, crazy libs slop
00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:01.296
That they're just making stuff
00:09:01.296 --> 00:09:02.464
Up, and i'm getting sick of it, to be honest,
00:09:02.464 --> 00:09:04.032
Because the lies are so blatant and brazen.
00:09:04.032 --> 00:09:06.668
You just have to sort of work through them.
00:09:06.668 --> 00:09:07.902
And yes, welcome back
00:09:07.902 --> 00:09:09.104
To the bitcoin.com studio, our friends over bitcoin.com.
00:09:09.104 --> 00:09:12.040
You're your place to buy, sell, trade bitcoin.
00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:14.576
You can do all your research right there. bitcoin.com.
00:09:14.576 --> 00:09:17.178
Glad to have them back on and excited about that.
00:09:17.178 --> 00:09:20.515
And so but here's what we got to do.
00:09:20.515 --> 00:09:22.117
We got to get to this five year old, you know, the democrats
00:09:22.117 --> 00:09:26.054
Literally the democrats,
00:09:26.054 --> 00:09:27.555
Their handle on x is tweeting out in minnesota.
00:09:27.555 --> 00:09:30.291
Minneapolis ice arrested a five year
00:09:30.291 --> 00:09:32.527
Old coming home from preschool
00:09:32.527 --> 00:09:34.095
And tried to use him as human bait.
00:09:34.095 --> 00:09:36.765
His teacher describes him as a bright young student.
00:09:36.765 --> 00:09:39.501
These monsters are sick.
00:09:39.501 --> 00:09:42.270
Okay, we'll throw up the image of
00:09:42.270 --> 00:09:43.505
And this is this is this is literally their tweet.
00:09:43.505 --> 00:09:45.540
I don't know, do you guys have to have the image?
00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:47.175
It's too good.
00:09:47.175 --> 00:09:48.343
We have to i mean, this is you know, you got to sort of
00:09:48.343 --> 00:09:50.512
Give them credit for just being shameless liars.
00:09:50.512 --> 00:09:53.615
So this is the this is the image
00:09:53.615 --> 00:09:55.850
And they've got.
00:09:56.251 --> 00:09:56.818
Yeah.
00:09:56.818 --> 00:09:57.318
I used to detains
00:09:57.318 --> 00:09:58.553
Five year old boy, three other students in columbia heights.
00:09:58.553 --> 00:10:00.822
It's not true.
00:10:01.156 --> 00:10:02.824
It's not what happened.
00:10:02.824 --> 00:10:04.459
Do you see?
00:10:04.459 --> 00:10:05.160
So we should lay out like what?
00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:06.661
I'm going to read the statement.
00:10:06.661 --> 00:10:07.829
We're going to read the statement.
00:10:07.829 --> 00:10:08.830
So i literally called dhs this morning because
00:10:08.830 --> 00:10:12.434
It turns out everybody's freaking out about this.
00:10:12.434 --> 00:10:14.436
This is all lib twitter is talking about.
00:10:14.436 --> 00:10:17.505
This is all what blue skies talking about.
00:10:17.505 --> 00:10:19.040
This is a huge story, right?
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:20.175
Like this is like
00:10:20.175 --> 00:10:22.210
This is this is their thing.
00:10:22.210 --> 00:10:23.745
This is their father's day. sure.
00:10:23.745 --> 00:10:26.114
All right.
00:10:26.114 --> 00:10:26.715
Well, please lay it out.
00:10:26.715 --> 00:10:27.549
Well, so so they're flipping out.
00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:29.584
This is all so partly we should mention this is all happening
00:10:29.584 --> 00:10:32.954
Because ice everything they do, they're relentlessly
00:10:32.954 --> 00:10:35.056
Being stalked and followed and scrutinized.
00:10:35.056 --> 00:10:39.427
And so they're immediately spinning up these claims.
00:10:39.427 --> 00:10:42.731
And so their claim is that the the child they,
00:10:42.731 --> 00:10:46.568
They arrested, they made an arrest
00:10:46.568 --> 00:10:48.403
When a person drove into their driveway.
00:10:48.403 --> 00:10:52.173
And you can see
00:10:52.173 --> 00:10:53.441
The little joints where they're being a little bit dishonest.
00:10:53.441 --> 00:10:55.910
So for example,
00:10:55.910 --> 00:10:57.245
So they did
00:10:57.245 --> 00:10:57.946
Apparently what happened
00:10:57.946 --> 00:10:58.847
Is they tried to arrest the father of this
00:10:58.847 --> 00:11:01.015
Five year old who then fled the scene.
00:11:01.015 --> 00:11:02.917
And then they'll describe in even in the left's own telling,
00:11:02.917 --> 00:11:06.287
Another adult begged to take custody of the child.
00:11:06.287 --> 00:11:10.024
But ice refused. okay.
00:11:10.024 --> 00:11:12.393
Another adult, is it the child's parent?
00:11:12.393 --> 00:11:14.963
Would we know if it's the child's parent?
00:11:14.963 --> 00:11:16.931
Like all these things
00:11:16.931 --> 00:11:18.166
That are obvious questions you're supposed to ask
00:11:18.166 --> 00:11:20.168
If you're in law enforcement agent.
00:11:20.168 --> 00:11:21.770
But they're mad that ice is not omniscient
00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:24.873
And omnipotent in their powers, and so they have to follow
00:11:24.873 --> 00:11:27.642
Police procedures.
00:11:27.642 --> 00:11:28.576
Oh, there was a child in the vehicle.
00:11:28.576 --> 00:11:30.411
And so we naturally immediately have ice
00:11:30.411 --> 00:11:33.181
Put out the statement, which is the child was abandoned,
00:11:33.181 --> 00:11:36.284
We tried to make an arrest and then the dad fled.
00:11:36.284 --> 00:11:39.554
So they left one agent with the child
00:11:39.554 --> 00:11:42.123
To make sure that this child was not alone.
00:11:42.123 --> 00:11:44.359
And then they turned this into the this child was bait.
00:11:44.359 --> 00:11:47.529
Well, it wasn't a bait for the arrest
00:11:47.529 --> 00:11:48.763
Because the arrest they were making was a person
00:11:48.763 --> 00:11:50.498
In the car who then fled.
00:11:50.498 --> 00:11:52.433
And those are the only two people have been detained.
00:11:52.433 --> 00:11:54.302
So i guess it wasn't bait.
00:11:54.302 --> 00:11:55.436
Well, i have a legal question for you, blake.
00:11:55.436 --> 00:11:57.472
I know you're not a lawyer, but you play one on tv.
00:11:57.472 --> 00:11:59.607
The question if,
00:11:59.607 --> 00:12:02.477
If a dad say it's a single dad, he has a dui and the cops
00:12:02.477 --> 00:12:07.048
Pull him over, does that father get separated from the child?
00:12:07.048 --> 00:12:10.251
You know, it actually does happen, doesn't it?
00:12:11.219 --> 00:12:13.421
Or or doesn't even need to be a dui
00:12:13.421 --> 00:12:15.423
If they want you for a murder,
00:12:15.423 --> 00:12:17.192
If they want you for a robbery,
00:12:17.192 --> 00:12:18.793
They want you for tax evasion.
00:12:18.793 --> 00:12:19.994
Larceny, whatever.
00:12:19.994 --> 00:12:21.729
But this is a sad truth.
00:12:21.729 --> 00:12:24.065
If you break the law,
00:12:24.065 --> 00:12:25.233
You are putting your children in danger,
00:12:25.233 --> 00:12:27.335
And you should stop breaking the law.
00:12:27.335 --> 00:12:29.304
It's pretty obvious in today's day and age that
00:12:29.304 --> 00:12:32.073
If you are here in the country
00:12:32.073 --> 00:12:33.208
Illegally,
00:12:33.208 --> 00:12:34.275
You're breaking the law and there will be consequences
00:12:34.275 --> 00:12:36.778
For it.
00:12:36.778 --> 00:12:37.846
Did you know that you could receive a free flight?
00:12:37.846 --> 00:12:41.382
No, a free flight in $2,600
00:12:41.382 --> 00:12:44.819
With the cbp one, home app.
00:12:44.819 --> 00:12:47.689
If you just use the cbp home app,
00:12:47.689 --> 00:12:49.991
He wouldn't have been arrested.
00:12:49.991 --> 00:12:51.526
His poor five year old kid.
00:12:51.526 --> 00:12:53.561
He wouldn't have abandoned him.
00:12:53.561 --> 00:12:55.496
By the way, that's the biggie on the eye chart here.
00:12:55.496 --> 00:12:58.032
This peach of a father is the best father i've seen
00:12:58.032 --> 00:13:01.035
Since you know maryland dad.
00:13:01.035 --> 00:13:03.872
Like this.
00:13:04.172 --> 00:13:05.273
This is not the type of if you have an illegal alien
00:13:05.273 --> 00:13:07.775
That is going is willing to abandon his son
00:13:07.775 --> 00:13:11.045
When federal law enforcement approaches him.
00:13:11.045 --> 00:13:13.681
First of all, he's a terrible dad.
00:13:13.681 --> 00:13:15.717
Let's just get the the biggie on the eye chart
00:13:16.618 --> 00:13:19.020
Out of the way.
00:13:19.020 --> 00:13:19.954
Terrible. dad, you don't abandon your kid.
00:13:19.954 --> 00:13:22.223
Second of all, you're not going to want
00:13:22.223 --> 00:13:24.192
That quality of human being in this country.
00:13:24.192 --> 00:13:26.561
As a second thought,
00:13:26.561 --> 00:13:27.495
If that's what he's teaching his kid, that
00:13:27.495 --> 00:13:28.930
You just abandon people, you run away from your family.
00:13:28.930 --> 00:13:31.666
And third of all,
00:13:31.666 --> 00:13:32.800
If you're in the country illegally, i'm sorry you're
00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:35.203
Putting your whole family in jeopardy.
00:13:35.203 --> 00:13:37.572
So, what they're really communicating here.
00:13:37.572 --> 00:13:39.641
And i want you to see the sleight of hand,
00:13:39.641 --> 00:13:41.576
Is that there's basically saying
00:13:41.576 --> 00:13:43.344
That this guy was illegal, but he's not a criminal.
00:13:43.344 --> 00:13:45.813
No, you're guilty of being a criminal if you.
00:13:45.813 --> 00:13:48.983
It's called breaking and entering.
00:13:48.983 --> 00:13:50.151
You broken,
00:13:50.151 --> 00:13:51.319
Entered into our country and you're not welcome. okay.
00:13:51.319 --> 00:13:53.388
So we have to keep the main thing.
00:13:53.388 --> 00:13:55.290
The main thing there is a baseline.
00:13:55.290 --> 00:13:57.258
You're a criminal if you enter this country illegally.
00:13:57.258 --> 00:13:59.527
Okay.
00:13:59.527 --> 00:14:00.662
But even in exodus 1249, this is all biblical, folks.
00:14:00.662 --> 00:14:03.197
It says a sojourner.
00:14:03.665 --> 00:14:05.566
So a foreigner is to abide the law of the land.
00:14:05.566 --> 00:14:08.770
The same law applies to both the native born
00:14:08.770 --> 00:14:10.772
And the foreigner residing among you.
00:14:10.772 --> 00:14:12.807
There's biblical precedents for this.
00:14:12.807 --> 00:14:14.842
They are required to abide by the law of the land.
00:14:14.842 --> 00:14:18.413
And so we just need to get back to basics.
00:14:18.413 --> 00:14:20.515
I'm sorry.
00:14:20.515 --> 00:14:21.316
This five year old got banded by
00:14:21.316 --> 00:14:22.617
His father, blamed the father for that, not ice.
00:14:22.617 --> 00:14:25.119
We'll be right back.
00:14:25.119 --> 00:14:31.459
Where are
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.027
The tears from the pain.
00:14:33.027 --> 00:14:35.363
The life that she lived.
00:14:35.363 --> 00:14:37.498
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:14:37.498 --> 00:14:40.935
The years that they would just beat her ears.
00:14:40.935 --> 00:14:43.705
That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:14:43.705 --> 00:14:47.008
And our answer is love.
00:14:47.508 --> 00:14:50.745
Before, with a gift of only $25.
00:14:50.745 --> 00:14:53.948
You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
00:14:53.948 --> 00:14:57.118
Of an elderly jew in need.
00:14:57.118 --> 00:14:59.854
I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
00:14:59.854 --> 00:15:02.857
There are good people today.
00:15:02.857 --> 00:15:04.659
Call, scan or go online now.
00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:07.428
And the international
00:15:07.428 --> 00:15:08.563
Fellowship of christians
00:15:08.563 --> 00:15:09.831
And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.
00:15:09.831 --> 00:15:13.701
This is a holy moment.
00:15:13.701 --> 00:15:15.470
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:18.873
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:15:18.873 --> 00:15:22.710
And being part of their redemption and our own.
00:15:22.710 --> 00:15:26.214
Please call, scan or go online now.
00:15:26.214 --> 00:15:30.999
Please call, scan or go online now.
00:15:30.999 --> 00:15:37.023
Okay.
00:15:37.256 --> 00:15:37.823
And citizen free press.
00:15:37.823 --> 00:15:39.425
Welcome back to the show, my friend.
00:15:39.425 --> 00:15:41.527
It, this will be your second time
00:15:41.527 --> 00:15:44.363
We've had you in recent, recent times, but
00:15:44.363 --> 00:15:47.500
I didn't even tell the studio to play your song.
00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:51.137
Yeah, i always get a little bit more fired up when i.
00:15:51.137 --> 00:15:54.140
When i hear that coming in.
00:15:54.140 --> 00:15:55.975
It's funny the origin of that.
00:15:55.975 --> 00:15:57.543
They started playing that, as
00:15:57.543 --> 00:15:59.011
You know, during a cougars commercial for the nfl.
00:15:59.011 --> 00:16:02.748
And you noticed that charlie noticed it, and i noticed it
00:16:02.748 --> 00:16:06.485
All, just like i was like, that sounds like cain.
00:16:06.485 --> 00:16:09.622
Like it does. no,
00:16:09.622 --> 00:16:12.158
But it's it's king.
00:16:12.158 --> 00:16:13.893
It's definitely cain. that's close enough for radio.
00:16:13.893 --> 00:16:15.995
Yeah, it's close enough for, horseshoes and hand grenades.
00:16:15.995 --> 00:16:18.831
Right. and, and, government work.
00:16:18.831 --> 00:16:21.367
I think that's the other thing they say.
00:16:21.367 --> 00:16:22.768
So, cain. welcome back, my friend.
00:16:22.768 --> 00:16:25.237
You know, we like to talk to you because,
00:16:25.237 --> 00:16:29.141
You know, if you're not checking out
00:16:29.141 --> 00:16:30.576
Citizen free press.com, you're missing out.
00:16:30.576 --> 00:16:33.012
Throw out the graphic there, guys.
00:16:33.012 --> 00:16:34.814
I mean, this is the current stack.
00:16:34.814 --> 00:16:37.116
We sent it in. it's it
00:16:37.116 --> 00:16:40.052
This is what cain lives and breathes.
00:16:40.052 --> 00:16:42.922
24 seven. the guy doesn't sleep.
00:16:42.922 --> 00:16:45.791
Indiana is sort of
00:16:45.791 --> 00:16:46.926
On my on my list right now because and then frankly,
00:16:46.926 --> 00:16:49.562
They're on turning point actions.
00:16:49.562 --> 00:16:50.763
We're going to be preparing all these fools
00:16:50.763 --> 00:16:52.898
Because they apparently rumor has it
00:16:52.898 --> 00:16:54.934
It i'm not sure
00:16:54.934 --> 00:16:55.768
If it's been completely confirmed,
00:16:55.768 --> 00:16:57.236
But that they made a handshake deal with maryland
00:16:57.236 --> 00:17:00.039
To not redistrict.
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:01.006
Maryland, of course, did an about face.
00:17:01.006 --> 00:17:03.075
Now they're redistricting.
00:17:03.075 --> 00:17:04.243
Virginia's got complete marxist, their redistricting.
00:17:04.243 --> 00:17:07.947
So it looks like once again, cane republicans
00:17:07.947 --> 00:17:11.083
Are the only ones trying to play by gentleman's rules.
00:17:11.083 --> 00:17:13.786
And we're getting steamrolled.
00:17:13.786 --> 00:17:15.521
And, you know, there was this whole redistricting debate
00:17:15.521 --> 00:17:17.890
Going on.
00:17:17.890 --> 00:17:19.024
Everybody's all trump is trying to do district midterm.
00:17:19.024 --> 00:17:20.860
Well, turns out
00:17:20.860 --> 00:17:22.061
The democrats are the only ones with enough political will
00:17:22.061 --> 00:17:24.330
And ruthlessness to actually move forward with it.
00:17:24.330 --> 00:17:27.800
What's your take? yeah.
00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:29.635
Well, yeah, i was going to before
00:17:29.635 --> 00:17:31.270
You said it,
00:17:31.270 --> 00:17:32.238
I was going to mention the maryland thing
00:17:32.238 --> 00:17:33.506
Because i just put it in the stack like 30 minutes ago.
00:17:33.506 --> 00:17:36.041
West.
00:17:36.041 --> 00:17:37.109
More of the governor's trying to get rid of the only,
00:17:37.109 --> 00:17:39.411
Republican seat that,
00:17:39.912 --> 00:17:42.715
In the in the maryland congressional delegation.
00:17:42.715 --> 00:17:45.751
I'm trying to i think maryland usually is about 60,
00:17:45.751 --> 00:17:48.954
40 in governors races.
00:17:48.954 --> 00:17:52.424
So, i mean,
00:17:52.424 --> 00:17:53.359
If you're getting 40% republican votes,
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.060
It would be nice to have at least, one republican seat.
00:17:55.060 --> 00:17:58.831
You know, one last thing.
00:17:58.831 --> 00:17:59.832
I'll throw on the redistricting.
00:17:59.832 --> 00:18:01.267
I put a story up
00:18:01.267 --> 00:18:02.401
Maybe a month ago that talked about
00:18:02.401 --> 00:18:04.436
How the five seats in texas may not even end up
00:18:04.436 --> 00:18:07.139
Being five seats, that it might be four seats
00:18:07.139 --> 00:18:10.075
Because we're getting slightly lower numbers with hispanics.
00:18:10.075 --> 00:18:13.846
So, yeah.
00:18:13.846 --> 00:18:14.713
So democrats, there's a track, i guess.
00:18:14.713 --> 00:18:18.017
One last thing.
00:18:18.017 --> 00:18:19.051
There's a tracker that i keep, i bring to the top
00:18:19.051 --> 00:18:20.920
Near the stack
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.121
That sort of shows what's going on in every single state.
00:18:22.121 --> 00:18:25.324
And they still say that we may gain three,
00:18:25.324 --> 00:18:28.260
If everything plays out correctly,
00:18:28.994 --> 00:18:30.963
But you guys are probably on top of it.
00:18:30.963 --> 00:18:33.832
Yeah, i hey, look.
00:18:33.832 --> 00:18:35.134
Know, if we had a real census in this country
00:18:35.134 --> 00:18:37.369
That didn't count, right?
00:18:37.369 --> 00:18:38.671
Foreign illegals,
00:18:38.671 --> 00:18:40.105
Which trump tried to get done, he lost that battle.
00:18:40.105 --> 00:18:42.575
I think we win that battle. if we pick it today,
00:18:42.575 --> 00:18:44.944
We should be redoing the 2020 census.
00:18:44.944 --> 00:18:47.146
It was a botched census.
00:18:47.146 --> 00:18:48.314
It was done properly, incorrectly.
00:18:48.314 --> 00:18:50.449
Covid completely ruined it.
00:18:50.449 --> 00:18:51.717
They used all these like privacy,
00:18:51.717 --> 00:18:53.919
You know, protocols to shield illegals
00:18:53.919 --> 00:18:57.122
And so they would be counted
00:18:57.122 --> 00:18:58.891
And it screwed up the whole algorithm.
00:18:58.891 --> 00:19:00.526
Okay, so if we redid the census,
00:19:00.526 --> 00:19:03.128
You would see 10 to 15 seats, move to the sunbelt, moved
00:19:03.128 --> 00:19:06.732
To where people are moving. okay.
00:19:06.732 --> 00:19:08.400
So there's a lot wrong with this.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.369
I do not believe that we have been getting a fair shake
00:19:10.369 --> 00:19:13.739
In national elections when with congress, we just haven't.
00:19:13.739 --> 00:19:17.309
You know,
00:19:17.309 --> 00:19:18.410
President trump had a basically a landslide victory,
00:19:18.410 --> 00:19:20.546
Won the popular vote, ran the table on the swing states,
00:19:20.546 --> 00:19:23.749
And we eke out this
00:19:23.749 --> 00:19:25.050
Tiny little majority in congress in the house,
00:19:25.050 --> 00:19:27.820
Something ain't right.
00:19:28.287 --> 00:19:29.488
And so we've got
00:19:29.488 --> 00:19:30.589
We've got a fight on this front
00:19:30.589 --> 00:19:31.857
And we got to get the save act done.
00:19:31.857 --> 00:19:33.626
But i'm i'm being told there's 15
00:19:33.626 --> 00:19:36.629
Senators, republican senators.
00:19:36.629 --> 00:19:39.498
We're not even talking about democrats right now, ken.
00:19:39.498 --> 00:19:41.033
Right now, ken,
00:19:41.033 --> 00:19:41.934
There's 15 republican senators that won't
00:19:41.934 --> 00:19:44.570
Get the hell out of the way.
00:19:44.570 --> 00:19:45.738
And this is a big problem.
00:19:45.738 --> 00:19:47.039
Ken, tell us what you know about this.
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.708
Okay.
00:19:49.708 --> 00:19:50.109
Well, well,
00:19:50.109 --> 00:19:51.377
We'll talk about the save act that relates to the filibuster.
00:19:51.377 --> 00:19:53.812
The other thing, you know, yes,
00:19:53.812 --> 00:19:56.015
I, i want to reiterate or i want to, you know,
00:19:56.015 --> 00:19:58.317
Confirm what you were saying.
00:19:58.317 --> 00:19:59.551
10 to 15 seats.
00:19:59.551 --> 00:20:01.120
If we can stop counting illegals
00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:03.622
In in all states,
00:20:03.622 --> 00:20:05.190
The numbers, you know, that gives us
00:20:05.190 --> 00:20:06.659
A much bigger majority right there.
00:20:06.659 --> 00:20:08.027
And then also remember that i don't think it's happening
00:20:08.027 --> 00:20:10.896
Until maybe it's happening this summer.
00:20:10.896 --> 00:20:13.866
But the voting rights act, right.
00:20:13.866 --> 00:20:15.501
That's going to be the other component of redistricting.
00:20:15.501 --> 00:20:17.903
A lot of these, congressional districts,
00:20:17.903 --> 00:20:20.939
Most well,
00:20:20.939 --> 00:20:21.674
Not just in red and blue states,
00:20:21.674 --> 00:20:23.142
But in in all states, a lot of them are
00:20:23.142 --> 00:20:25.411
Going to be thrown out.
00:20:25.411 --> 00:20:26.245
So they say that may be a plus.
00:20:26.245 --> 00:20:27.579
19 number, but it's not going to affect the 2026 midterms.
00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:31.750
Now onto the save act.
00:20:31.750 --> 00:20:33.385
As you know, to get something like the save act passed,
00:20:33.385 --> 00:20:36.088
You have to get it through the senate.
00:20:36.088 --> 00:20:37.289
You've got the filibuster problem in 60 votes, right.
00:20:37.289 --> 00:20:39.725
So that was the whole debate during the government shutdown,
00:20:39.725 --> 00:20:43.262
Whether we should finally
00:20:43.262 --> 00:20:44.430
Throw out the filibuster, knowing that democrats went
00:20:44.430 --> 00:20:46.999
The next time that they do take the senate,
00:20:46.999 --> 00:20:49.168
That they're going to do this without whatever manchin
00:20:49.168 --> 00:20:52.538
And kirsten cinema, they can get that vote through.
00:20:52.538 --> 00:20:55.341
So i would everybody was sort of anticipating
00:20:55.341 --> 00:20:58.110
That the january shutdown would be our opportunity
00:20:58.110 --> 00:21:01.847
To get rid of the filibuster.
00:21:01.847 --> 00:21:03.916
And what happened this week or last week was they oh,
00:21:03.916 --> 00:21:07.386
It was early this week.
00:21:07.386 --> 00:21:08.454
They reached a deal on the shutdown.
00:21:08.454 --> 00:21:10.189
So there's not going to be a shutdown,
00:21:10.189 --> 00:21:11.724
Which means
00:21:11.724 --> 00:21:12.958
There will not be a movement to get rid of the filibuster,
00:21:12.958 --> 00:21:15.928
Which means this i don't know how you get to say back past
00:21:15.928 --> 00:21:18.897
You tell me, you know, over 60 votes.
00:21:18.897 --> 00:21:21.600
Well, it doesn't seem like it doesn't say, i'm getting.
00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:24.503
By the way, i'm
00:21:24.503 --> 00:21:25.170
Just getting breaking news here
00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:26.772
That don lemon has been charged.
00:21:26.772 --> 00:21:28.907
I'm looking into it.
00:21:28.907 --> 00:21:30.642
But he was not the first.
00:21:30.642 --> 00:21:31.910
He was not the first. i think.
00:21:31.910 --> 00:21:33.746
I think they'll probably have a good case on him.
00:21:33.746 --> 00:21:35.881
I mean,
00:21:35.881 --> 00:21:37.049
He was in it.
00:21:37.416 --> 00:21:38.384
He was he was in he was cheering it on.
00:21:38.384 --> 00:21:40.352
And he tried to hide behind his journalistic okay.
00:21:40.352 --> 00:21:42.921
Breaking trump justice department
00:21:42.921 --> 00:21:44.256
Charges journalist don lemon,
00:21:44.256 --> 00:21:45.624
Along with seven others over church protests aimed at ice.
00:21:45.624 --> 00:21:48.794
Let's see here.
00:21:49.161 --> 00:21:50.129
Ice state ice agent. yeah. wow.
00:21:50.129 --> 00:21:53.098
There it is.
00:21:53.098 --> 00:21:53.932
Even if he's not convicted, guys,
00:21:53.932 --> 00:21:55.534
Even if he's not convicted, the process is the punishment,
00:21:55.534 --> 00:21:59.071
The legal fees, the worrying at night about,
00:21:59.071 --> 00:22:02.408
You know, about the charges
00:22:02.408 --> 00:22:03.809
That you're facing in the potential jail terms.
00:22:03.809 --> 00:22:05.611
So even if lemon doesn't get,
00:22:05.611 --> 00:22:08.614
Doesn't get convicted,
00:22:08.614 --> 00:22:10.349
They whatever i it's it's sort of looking at it's
00:22:10.349 --> 00:22:14.086
Like the same thing with james comey and letitia james.
00:22:14.086 --> 00:22:16.889
Sure.
00:22:17.122 --> 00:22:18.023
Those those indictments were thrown out.
00:22:18.023 --> 00:22:20.092
But hey, at least we put them through some sort of process.
00:22:20.092 --> 00:22:23.796
Punishment.
00:22:23.796 --> 00:22:24.963
Citizen kane, citizen free press, check out the stack.
00:22:24.963 --> 00:22:28.233
I go there multiple times every day. you should to.
00:22:28.233 --> 00:22:30.402
God bless you, sir. well, we'll we'll talk to you soon.
00:22:30.402 --> 00:22:36.141
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:36.775 --> 00:22:38.243
I'd like to express my
00:22:38.243 --> 00:22:39.611
