Main Theme & Episode Overview

This episode centers on three major threads:

1. International Crisis – The fragile US-Iran ceasefire, upcoming Islamabad peace talks, internal White House divisions, and media portrayals.
2. Domestic Policy Battles – Immigration and amnesty, specifically surrounding the divisive Dignidad Act; the tension between populist MAGA sentiment and GOP donor interests; criminal justice reform woes.
3. Cultural/Political Developments – Trends in left-progressive governance in the US and Canada, equity policy, and political polling manipulation.

Through interviews, news updates, and roundtable discussions, Charlie and his guests unpack high-stakes foreign policy, legislative intrigue, and the culture war, all with their signature populist, combative tone.

1. Iran Crisis & International Affairs

Fragile Ceasefire and Islamabad Peace Talks

• Charlie Kirk: Opens with concerns about the frailty of the US-Iran ceasefire. Notes that Vice President J.D. Vance, previously a strong opponent of war with Iran, will play a key role in Islamabad negotiations.

  "Vice President Vance was very against going into war. He was very vocal about it. Internally...he's now going to be having a very prominent position in the negotiations in Islamabad this Friday, Saturday, over the weekend." (11:49)

• J.D. Vance (13:02, 14:20): Breaks down confusion around the ceasefire and the oft-cited "10 point plan":

  "I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn't. We never made that promise...the ceasefire would be focused on Iran and America's allies."

  "There are three different 10 point proposals at least that I've seen floating around...The first...probably written by ChatGPT...a second 10 point proposal was much more reasonable...and then frankly, I've seen a third that's even more maximalist."

• Critique of Media:
  Vance slams the NYT and CNN for misrepresenting Iran peace terms.

  "It's the equivalent of a Democratic councilman in Boise, Idaho saying something crazy...and the New York Times running that as the position of the President." (15:08)

• US Strategic Posture:
  Trump administration maintains military pressure.

  "All US ships, aircraft and military personnel...will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement...is fully complied with. If for any reason it is not...then the shooting starts." (17:29)

Key Segments

• Iran Negotiations & Straight of Hormuz: 11:15-17:22, 34:21-35:45
• Trump’s Stance and Military Readiness: 17:22-18:45, 35:11

2. Immigration, Criminal Justice, & The Dignidad Act

Carlos Brown Jr. Case: Systemic Failures

• Charlie Kirk: Spotlights the viral case of Carlos Brown Jr.—a repeat violent offender not deemed competent for trial, expressing deep outrage over the justice system's incompetence and abuse by defense attorneys.

  "What it is about these defense attorneys, but they tend to ask for six month delays in trials...Justice delayed is justice denied." (27:32)

  "This is a toolkit to keep these people from being accountable..." (27:50, Blake)

Sanctuary Policies and Immigration

• Discussion of new Haitian immigrant case in Florida: Released under Temporary Protected Status, brutal crime, shielded from deportation by federal policy.

  "Same thing...a tool, because there are people who want everyone in the world to be able to come to America and they want to make it so even murderers like this guy are able to stay here." (29:56, Blake)

The Dignidad Act: GOP Infighting over Amnesty

• Brandon Gill, Congressman, TX:
  Firmly rejects the Dignidad Act, arguing it is “plain and simple” amnesty—12 million illegals get legal status, previously deported individuals could return, and deportations would essentially stop. He frames this as an existential betrayal of the GOP’s base and electoral mandate.

  "If that's not amnesty, I don't know what is...It would constitute the biggest political betrayal of the American people in history." (38:56)

• Why does amnesty keep pushing forward?

  “Big Ag, hospitality, usual players...They want cheap labor, they want amnesty, they want illegal aliens in the country because for them, that's bigger profit margins...” (40:57)

• Quotes key critique:

  "There's nothing compassionate about open borders and there's nothing dignified about giving illegal aliens amnesty. The people whose dignity we should be concerned about are the American citizens whose jobs are being taken, whose wages are being suppressed..." (47:34)

Internal Polling & Donor Manipulation

• Rich Barris, Pollster: Pulls back the curtain on donor-driven polling and messaging meant to push amnesty and “dignity” narratives onto GOP/MAGA voters. Reveals efforts to “engineer answers,” manipulate language, and sideline honest poll results.

  "Amnesty is never dead. Amnesty is always right around the corner...a lot of Republican donors want amnesty." (66:17)

  "You want to get hired again. So there are very few people who are like me who will spend Christmas Eve screaming about how the product looks. Very, very, very few pollsters will push back." (79:27)

Key Segments

• Carlos Brown Jr. & criminal justice failures: 23:03–29:08
• The Dignidad Act & Congressional infighting: 38:22–48:55
• Polling manipulation and donor influence: 65:26–83:23

3. US & Canadian Culture Wars, Equity, & Political Trends

Canadian Progressive Acronym (MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+)

• Charlie, Blake, and Rich Barris dissect an extraordinary Canadian budget speech highlighting the acronym for missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+, ridiculing its length and intersectional melding.

  "Apparently murdered is now a queer identity..." (55:41, Charlie)

  "[Canada has] maximum assisted suicide, state mandated discrimination in criminal punishments...The 2020 vibe—the Obama vibe—like maximally live on everything." (57:17, Blake)

Declining Asylum Grants

• Charlie highlights declining asylum grant data:

  “It is, the graphic is about asylum claims. So this was a breaking news story that happened. Asylum grants, grant rates have plummeted. Average monthly rate...is down to 7%.”

Leftward Trends: Virginia & NYC Politics

• Libby Emmons:
  • On Virginia Governor Spanberger: Approval sinking due to leftward drift, broken promises on redistricting, and public outrage over illegal immigrant crime.

    “We elected this woman who said she was going to be a moderate, and instead she is a far left crazy progressive...” (91:10)

  • On NYC Mayor Mamdani:

    “The far leftism has been really pretty rampant. And also he's been breaking some campaign promises. He's already walking back the free buses...proposing equity audits and blaming income disparity on racism alone...” (93:28)

    “The idea was, go look for racism. And if you're going to put on glasses that are covered with racism, that's all you're going to find.” (95:16)

---

4. Religion, The Pope, & American Power

• Discussion of Pentagon and Vatican Tensions:
  • Free Press (Barry Weiss) reports that US-Pentagon pressured Pope Leo (the first American pope) to be more supportive—a report the Pentagon denies.
  • Libby Emmons: Defends the Pope’s anti-war and pro-migrant stance as consistent with the role of spiritual leadership, notes moral tension between Catholic teaching and national interest.

    “There is a separation...between faith in Jesus Christ and what you think is best for your nation. They're not always going to necessarily be the same thing.” (102:12)

---

Key Quotes & Memorable Moments

• J.D. Vance on the 10-Point Plans:

  “The first 10 point proposal was something that was submitted and we think frankly was probably written by chat GPT...” (05:51, 14:20)

• Rich Barris on Polling:

  “There are very few people who are like me who will spend Christmas Eve screaming about how the product looks...” (79:27)

• Brandon Gill on Dignidad:

  “It's not only is it not compassionate, it's cruelty to Americans.” (48:23)

• Libby Emmons on NYC equity policy:

  “Go look for racism. And if you're going to put on glasses that are covered with racism, that's all you're going to find.” (95:16)

• Charlie Kirk on Canada’s policies:

  “They are suiciding themselves on purpose and they have government funds for that.” (56:31)

• Blake on Canadian identity:

  “This is a made up thing from about 1990, 91...But it's actually...missing and murdered indigenous women and girls...” (54:09)

in this world, stop with Mint. You can get premium wireless for just $15 a month. Of course, if you enjoy overpaying, no judgments.

[Rich Barris]

But that's weird.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay, one judgment.

[Blake]

Anyway, give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront

[Martha Stewart]

the next chemo round. So it's important that work was part

[Charlie Kirk]

of that to keep my mind busy

[Martha Stewart]

for eight, nine hours and then I had to go back and face the reality. I had a goal and the goal is to survive.

[Public Investing Announcer]

The Charlie Kirk show starts now.

[Blake]

There was a poll up that had

[Rich Barris]

your numbers a little unfavorable on your numbers. What do you attribute that to? I would say if everybody hated me, why is everybody putting my face on their mailers for the referendum would be Question number one.

[Charlie Kirk]

Democrats must proceed with the filing of the impeachment articles. We need to work as hard as

[Terrence Bates]

we can to put the Republican Party,

[Charlie Kirk]

which is morally bankrupt, which is spineless, which wants to be in a witness protection program even as moral atrocities are being planned in their name.

[Public Investing Announcer]

We must proceed towards the goal of

[Charlie Kirk]

removing Donald Trump from office and we must do this now. And that has to be the Democratic agenda.

[J.D. Vance]

I've seen various organs, the New York Times, CNN, others pick up and run the original 10 point proposal based on little more than a random yahoo in Iran, submitting it to public access television in the country of Iran, and then them saying that somehow represents the negotiating position of the government. It's the equivalent of somebody in, let's say a Democratic councilman in Boise, Idaho saying something crazy, the local public access TV picking up that crazy statement, and then the New York Times running that as the position of the President of the United States. It doesn't make an ounce of sense.

[Rich Barris]

If we've learned anything from Operation Epic Fury, it's that the Trump administration is preparing and has contingency plans in place for a variety of options. So while the Iranians are talking, the Americans are preparing. And again, this speaks to the advantage that the United States has not just at the negotiating table, but also on the battlefield. The Iranian military was decimated over the past 40 days. The United States and Israel took out the production lines that make the drones and missiles that the Iranians are using and used over the past 40 days against regional countries and US forces. They have hammered the leadership of the regime, taking out dozens of officials. And again, this is part of the reason that the Iranians are trying to publicly leverage the Americans because they're out of options. They have no leverage left at the negotiating table or on the battlefield. And that's why you're hearing these remarks from top Iranian officials.

[J.D. Vance]

There are three different 10 point proposals, at least that I've seen floating around. The first 10 point proposal was something that was submitted and we think frankly was probably written by chat GPT that was submitted to Steve Woff and Jared Kushner that immediately went in the garbage and was rejected. There was a second 10 point proposal that was much more reasonable that was based on some back and forth between us, between the Pakistanis. That is the 10 point proposal that the President was referencing in his truth yesterday. And then frankly, I've seen a third 10 point proposal that's even more maximalist than the first 10 point proposal that's been floating around various social media channels,

[Charlie Kirk]

Pakistan in person, peace talks. And this is what the table is

[Brandon Gill]

going to look like for what could be J.D.

[Charlie Kirk]

vance's biggest assignment yet as Vice President. He will be there. Steve Witkoff, the special envoy, will be there. Jared Kushner, another special envoy, will be there on the US side. On the Iran side, you've got the Parliament speaker who has been talking to President Trump, Mohammed Bagar Galloba and then Abbas Aragachi, the Foreign Minister.

[J.D. Vance]

I think the Iranians thought that the cease fire included Lebanon and it just didn't. We never made that promise. We never indicated that was going to be the case. What we said is that the cease fire would be focused on Iran and the cease fire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the gulf of states.

[Rich Barris]

U.S. ships, aircraft and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement reached is fully complied with. The President went on to say, which is, if for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the shooting starts. When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous services Canada and Crown Indigenous relations. They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIW G2SLGBTQIA plus this is abhorrent. This is callous. This is callous because the very liberal government that has stripped organizations of life sustaining funding has now promised committed $13 billion $13 billion on military spending. Who is paying for it?

[Public Investing Announcer]

Buckle up.

[Charlie Kirk]

Here we go. All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk show here at the Y Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Welcome, Blake. Howdy. So there's lots going on this morning. We're gonna hit the decarlos Brown story, the Aruna Zarutska killer in just a second. But we want to give you a quick update on the status of the fragile ceasefire. We knew it was fragile.

[Blake]

Has anything updated since yesterday?

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, Vice President Vance is out front and he, I mean, you rarely see him this frustrated. Now we know why I think this is interesting is because Vice President Vance, we know from that blockbuster expose by Swan and Maggie Haberman that Vice President Vance was very against going into war. He was very vocal about it. Internally. We've known this from reporting that he was against going into Iran. I think he's now going to be having a very prominent position in the negotiations in Islamabad this Friday, Saturday, over the weekend. So he's being asked about different aspects of this. And the clips are, I think, very telling, very important to give us framework through which to process everything that's going on. And one of the main keys is what's happening in Lebanon, what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz. Those seem to actually be the two keys. I'll say let's go ahead and start Sat one.

[J.D. Vance]

I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn't. We never made that promise. We never indicated that was going to be the case. What we said is that the cease fire would be focused on Iran and the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.

[Blake]

This gets us something unusual, which is a lot of ceasefires really traditionally would be written and, you know, it would have a clear provisions on what it covers. It seems this one was more ad hoc, maybe more of a 90, 90 minutes before, 90 minutes before, verbal deal, handshake deal, what have you. That is a way President Trump often likes to do things. But you do see where there can be issues there because you come out of the deal and then everyone is immediately arguing about what deal was actually made.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, and to be fair, I mean Hezbollah is supposed to be a separate entity, but this sort of exposes that they are a proxy for the Iranian regime. Okay, so then the issue of the ten point plan. So getting more and more clarity, we saw this from Caroline Levitt yesterday during the press conference that this was the previously reported on ten point plan is not the one that they're talking about. I'm hearing people call BS on this a little bit that this is a matter of semantics, but other people are pushing back in the admin saying that the 10 point plan that was agreed to as a basis upon which to start negotiations was significantly different than the 10 point plan previously reported on. Vice President Vance goes pretty hardcore on this point as well. SOT2 There are three different 10 point

[J.D. Vance]

proposals at least that I've seen floating around. The first 10 point proposal was something that was submitted and we think frankly was probably written by chat GPT that was submitted to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that immediately went in the garbage and was rejected. There was a second 10 point proposal that was much more reasonable that was based on some back and forth between us between the Pakistanis and that is the 10 point proposal that the President was referencing in his truth yesterday. And then frankly I've seen a third 10 point proposal that's even more maximum symbolist in the first 10 point proposal that's been floating around various social media channels.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yep. And there seems to be a particular ire that the White House is pointing and directing to CNN. New York Times JD Vance continues on this theme. SOT 7 is that I've seen various

[J.D. Vance]

organs, the New York Times, CNN, others pick up and run the original 10 point proposal based on little more than a random yahoo in Iran submitting it to public access television in the country of Iran and then them saying that somehow represents the negotiating position of the government. It's the equivalent of somebody in, let's say a Democratic councilman in Boise, Idaho saying something crazy, the local public access TV picking up that crazy statement and then the New York Times running that as the position of the President of

[Charlie Kirk]

the United States States.

[J.D. Vance]

It doesn't make an ounce of sense.

[Charlie Kirk]

So where does that leave us? I think it leaves us in a position where the strait is currently not operating. Still. The Strait of Hormuz is not closed. And as we remember, as you might recall, it is closed.

[Blake]

It is closed.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, it is closed. As you might Recall, we have President Trump's expletive laced Truth Social saying, open the.

[Blake]

It wasn't really laced, it was just one.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, well, fair enough.

[Blake]

Open the effing straight.

[Charlie Kirk]

Open the straight. And so that. That is not open yet. And that was a key, I guess, pillar of establishing this two week ceasefire. So it's unclear what's going to happen. It seems that momentum is racing towards Islamabad on Sunday, Friday and Saturday this weekend. President Trump has indicated that J.D. vance, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner are going to be leading those negotiations. And it seems to be that the calculation is. Even though the strait has not been opened back up, you see a little bit of saber rattling on Truth Social from the President saying, we're armed and ready, everybody's getting ready to go if we have to, but they want to see if this peace proposal can play itself out and actually net some good results for the country. So it looks like we're sort of ignoring the straight for the time being, at least for the next two days, it appears, until a peace negotiation is able to play itself out. So we're going to see what happens. But fragile peace, to say the least. And it does not seem that the Iranian regime is buckling necessarily. They're defiant.

[Blake]

A reason we got here is we attempted to do regime change and it didn't succeed. Let's be frank.

[Charlie Kirk]

We turned over the top of the Iranian regime. But yeah, the irgc, the regime is still in power, still entrenched in that country, still running things. It's very clear. So we're going to see how this plays out. This is the Trump truth, says all US ships, aircraft and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry and anything else that is appropriate, necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement, all caps noted reached is fully complied with. If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the shooting starts bigger and better and stronger than

[Blake]

the last time he said the shooting starts was Florida Palooza. Remember, he said the looting starts, the shooting starts.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, is that right?

[Blake]

Yes, he did.

[Charlie Kirk]

That's a good.

[Blake]

It's a phrase of his.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's a good recall. It was agreed a long time ago. And despite all the fake rhetoric to the contrary, no nuclear weapons in the Strait of Hormuz will be open and safe. In the meantime, our great military is loading up and resting, looking forward, actually, to its next conquest. Conquest is quite the word there. I'm not sure if. What. What if he's referencing Cuba or some other situation or around itself. So lots of moving pieces, as they say. It's a complex situation. Here's where I'm at. I agree actually in letting the peace talks go forward. I think we need to declare victory, get out. If, even if it's a fragile peace, that's fine. In the first moments of this ceasefire, it's always a fragile piece. So let's move forward, put our good faith effort forward and see if we can get in and get out and let's focus on nation building back here at home. So even if it's not perfect, as long as you get the nukes, you can declare victory. You can say, hey, we came, we saw, we took care of their military industrial base, took care of their missiles, took care of all that and we got the nukes. Yeah, it's not perfect. Yeah, there's, there's some questions about the straight. But America, I'm telling you, the, the, we need to focus back on domestics if we're going to have any hope in the midterms and in 2028, which we do, we do have hope. So we got to focus on the positive there. All right. Strong sell. Blake's hair's growing back little by little. It's gonna be a beautiful thing. Strong cell. What is it? It's a cellular function booster. Every cell in your body is powered by nadh. Nadh. So the problem a lot of you guys have, if you've tried to get this supplement in the past, you're using capsule form, you're getting nad not good for absorption. What is good for absorption is a liquid formula and nadh gets it straight to the cells in your body. The mitochondria are powered. So if you are struggling with brain fog, fatigue, chronic illness, any of these things, try strong sell for four to six weeks. That's about as long as you need to get those real positive results, get the full effect. And guess what? If it doesn't work for you for whatever reason, I don't think that's going to be the case. But if it doesn't, 90 day risk free money back guarantee. That's one of Charlie's favorite supplements. So go to strongcell.com use promo code Charlie for 20 off and that 90 day risk free money back guarantee. Strong cell. We'll be right back.

All right, we have to get to this story because it's going massively viral, first of all. But it's infuriating and that's why it's going viral. And that, of course, is the story of the Carlos Brown Jr. Who is the crazed madman who butchered Arena Zarutska last summer on a train. And of course, everybody's seen the videos. Irina Zarutska was a Ukrainian refugee from the war who moved to North Carolina. She's on her way, I think to her job or coming home from her job at a pizza parlor. And decarlos Brown gets up out of his seat, takes out a knife and butchers her. And it's just the most heart wrenching video you have ever seen. I think it shocked the nation, it shocked our conscience just to see this brutal slaying in public for no reason at all other than the fact that this man had been left out onto the streets after multiple, Multiple violent criminal.

[Blake]

14. 14 prior crimes.

[Charlie Kirk]

Prior crimes.

[Blake]

So, yeah, and then what the specific update going on here is this broke yesterday. It's been unfolding for a little while, it looks like. The New York Post reports that they had that while this Guy's in the hospital, they did it, a competency assessment. And apparently the hospital officials there, the doctors, found that he is not competent to stand trial. Now, we should clarify that's not the same thing as an insanity plea. This is that if you're going to be placed on a criminal trial, you do have to be aware of what is going on. You can't put someone, for example, who's in a coma on trial. You can't put someone who, for example, if you have a bad Alzheimer's, you can't really go on trial if you have too much dementia to go. So that's what they're apparently finding here. This guy is not aware enough, not competent enough to go on trial. Now, there has not been a judicial ruling on this yet. And this is actually where we're getting helped out because of the 2024 election because of who we have in office right now. The federal government did also federally charge decarlos with murder. And they've already put out a statement pointing out they are not subject to whatever North Carolina is doing here and they're ready to proceed with their case. So so far there has not been a judicial ruling that he's incompetent because he's actually not in state custody. So small mercies.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, Brown's lawyers are now asking the court to push back a scheduled April 30 hearing for another six months. A significant delay. I don't know what it is about these defense attorneys, but they tend to ask for six month delays in trials. We're seeing that in the Charlie, we're

[Blake]

seeing this all over. And Robinson, it's a thing that does genuinely cry out for reform because this is what frustrates America so much. There is that line, justice delayed is justice denied. And it gets at a truth, which is when people can't see the process playing out in a brisk way before them, they lose trust in the system and it increases the amount of ways that bad stuff can come in. So with these competency hearings, for example, I had Danny check the number of competency assessments that are conducted by courts has basically doubled since the early 90s. There are about 120,000 per year now. And it's not that we specifically want to put people who have dementia or whatever on trial. It's that this has become just a toolkit, a tool in the big toolkit to keep these people from being accountable. So when you have these guys who are extremely unwell and just constantly attacking people, well, this time, oh, he's not competent to Stand trial. We had to drop the charges and, you know, don't have that many seats in these mental asylums. So let him go again. Or we let them do insanity, please. And then we say they've been rehabilitated enough and they're let go again. We see that happen. Just endless excuses, endless means for people who fundamentally, they just hate civilization. They like criminals, and they want criminals back on the street.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, well. And if you're noticing a theme, there's another story that is grabbing headlines and that's out of Fort Myers, Florida. There was a bludgeoning murder that was caught on surveillance footage. And it is excruciating to watch. I believe we have a censored version of this video, but it was a Haitian illegal who was caught and released at the border by the Biden admin in 2020. An immigration judge ordered Robert Joachim deported from the US later that same year. But DHS, under the leadership of Alejandro Mayorkas and Joe Biden, has shielded him from deportation by granting him temporary protected status, which expired in 2024.

[Blake]

Same thing. There's actually a perfect overlap here with what we said. These competency hearings are a way for criminals to escape justice. Temporary protected status created by Congress in its wisdom, decades ago for situations like, oh, well, you don't deport someone if they're flying into the middle of a hurricane or something. And now it's. Haiti's had temporary protected status for the people who come here legally from there for literally over a decade at this point. I think they brought it when they had that earthquake in 2010. It's not temporary. It's just a tool because there are people who want everyone in the world to be able to come to America and they want to make it so even murderers like this guy are able to stay here. They are fundamentally. That's the footage of what happened there. Just an animal. This person should be put down. But we're going to end up spending tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars so this guy can get a free criminal justice defense. He might not even get life in prison and he might not even get deported if they fail to give him life in prison and then they let him out afterwards.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah. And, you know, it's just an absolutely brutal killing. If you could play that again and again. It's censored. Please forgive us. But he walks right up to this.

[Blake]

He was. I don't think we.

[Charlie Kirk]

Gas station clerk or whatever.

[Blake]

He was smashing up a car.

[Charlie Kirk]

And she comes out, she comes up and confront him. He walks right at her and with full strength he bludgeons her in the head with the hammer. She falls down obviously unconscious and then he strikes her six more times, six more times to the head. He's now in local custody and ISIS placed a detainer on him. They have issued a statement said this illegal alien barbarically hit this woman in the head multiple times with a hammer. This heinous murder was really murderer was released into the country by the Biden Administrative Administration.

[Blake]

This is a choice. This is a choice within living memory. This country was capable of having that person executed within two months. This is a choice to not have that happen.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's also a reminder that as frustrated as you might be, we can't let what happened those last four years happen again. We'll be back with Brandon Gill.

Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm Terrence Bates. President Trump is sending Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan for talks with Iran as the fragile two week ceasefire between the US And Iran appears to be on a bit of shaky ground. Meantime, the Commander in Chief met with NATO's Secretary General behind closed doors Wednesday. Publicly, however, he criticized the military alliance with the European allies, writing on Truth Social quote, NATO wasn't there when we needed them and they won't be there when we need them again. He of course, is referring to NATO member countries who ignored his call to help as Iran shut down the Gulf of Hormuz. That disputed waterway remains one of the main bones of contention as the US Delegation led by Vice President Vance prepares for negotiations with Iran tomorrow.

[J.D. Vance]

We actually think that we are seeing signs that the straits are starting to reopen. I think you guys are probably seen oil prices have come down. So I think the oil markets, the gas markets are seeing the same thing. But the president's very, very clear. The deal is a cease fire, a negotiation. That's what we give. And what they give is the straits are going to be reopened. We don't want Iran to have the capacity to build a nuclear weapon. The president's also said that we don't want Iran enriching towards a nuclear weapon and we want Iran to give up the nuclear fuel. Those are going to be our demands during the negotiation. And again, we're going to to see what the Iranians are willing to give up.

[Terrence Bates]

As for the U.S. relationship with NATO, during our White House press briefing on Wednesday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt indicating that President Trump would likely discuss the possibility of the United States leaving NATO. There's still no word this afternoon, though, if that conversation happened or if there are any moves to make that a reality. And in news closer to home, recently fired U.S. attorney General Pam Bondi will not testify before the House Oversight Committee next week. All of this would have been part of the committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation. That's the word this morning from the Justice Department as James Comer and his committee want answers about the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein case. Bondi was subpoenaed last month, but in a letter to the House oversight committee, the DOJ writing, because Ms. Bondi no longer can testify in her official capacity as Attorney General, the department's position is that the subpoena no longer operates. Obligates her. That's a quick check of your headlines.

And they use the money that you give them for their wireless, for your wireless. By the way. They have access to all three major wireless companies. They take that money and they reinvest it in the movement. They're huge in Texas, by the way, fighting the Islamification of Texas, which is relevant with Brandon Gill coming up. They've done this for 12 years. Amazing. Amazing. 100% customer service based in the United States. So this is a defining year. We need you guys to get on board with this stuff.

That's patriot mobile.com Charlie. Do it today. Don't wait any longer. All right. Congressman Brandon Gill from the great state of Texas joins us now. Welcome back, Congressman, and thanks for having me.

[Brandon Gill]

It's always good to be here.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, it's great to have you. You have been out front. You have been sparring with Congresswoman Salazar out of Miami about the Dignidad Act.

[Blake]

Gotta say it right every time. Run this dignity act. Scan us.

[Charlie Kirk]

You should. Brandon, I am told that you need to read the bill before you open your mouth, before you call it amnesty. I saw a tweet of something to that effect. Is this an amnesty bill or is it not? Are you being hyperbolic?

[Brandon Gill]

No, this is an amnesty Bill, plain and simple. Just ask yourself, what does the bill do the day this bill, if this bill is enacted, the day it's enacted, what happens? 12 million, roughly 12 million illegal aliens who are in the country are given legal status. If that's not amnesty, I don't know what is. And you can use whatever kind of, you know, vague generalizations or semantic obfuscation you want. That's. But that's amnesty. And that's exactly what the American people do not want. That's why they gave Republicans a trifecta. It's why President Trump got the popular vote last election for. So for us to do this, which we're not, by the way, I'm going to make sure that we don't. But for. If we went down this road, it would constitute the biggest political betrayal of the American people in history. I think it would rip apart the Republican Party, and candidly, that we would deserve to see our party ripped apart if we went forward with this bill.

[Charlie Kirk]

You know what's so frustrating as well, Brandon, is it's like, okay, we've got this, you know, conflict in Iran that's happening. Our eyes are directed over there as we're trying to get a ceasefire. I think everybody wants us to focus back domestically. We take our eye off the ball for one second, One second. Instead of passing the Save America act, instead of getting any of these reforms done domestically, a bunch of RINOs go and link arms with a bunch of Democrats and try and shove amnesty down our throats. And I'm gonna have a guest next hour that's gonna talk about some of this, what's going on behind the scenes, who's pushing this? But there's big ag. There's big hospitality. It's like all the usual players trying to push this through. And you gotta ask yourself, like, why don't we get what we want? Instead, they're trying to give us stuff we didn't want, we didn't ask for, we didn't vote for. Why is it so powerful? Why are these lob. So powerful to push this unpopular garbage down our throats while we're. We're thinking about Iran?

[Brandon Gill]

Well, that's the question. And you know, what's really insane about this, I think, is, you know, if you go back to 2015, President Trump comes on the scene. You know, he starts talking about we ought to build a wall. And so many people in the political establishment, all on the left and some on the right, said that he was a racist, said, that's not. That's not the America I love and completely denounced him. But the American people heard that message and it, it entirely resonated with them. They said you know what? I actually do want politicians in Washington who are going to stand up for us, who are going to secure the border and deport illegal aliens so that I can have my country back. And now we, you know that was over 10 years ago. We ought to listen to that. Whenever, whenever voters give us a mandate we ought to actually follow through and do what we said we were going to do on the campaign trail trail. But of course these, these big agribusiness or other lobbyists don't like that. And it's really simple. They obviously they want cheap labor, they want amnesty, they want illegal aliens in the country because for them that's, that's bigger profit margins. Whenever you suppress American wages or whenever you're able to replace more expensive American workers with cheaper illegal aliens or other foreigners that increases their profit margin. I mean it's really, really simple for them. But you know, going back to the Dignity act here, you know, it's not just that the 12 million illegal aliens who are given amnesty immediately. This act would allow illegal aliens who have previously been deported to be brought back into the country and be given legal status. It on top of that it effectively stops the President from deporting anybody out of the country. Because whenever an illegal alien is apprehended all they do have to have to do is say I've been in the US for longer than five years, boom. They can't be deported for at least two years. I mean this is, this is a mass migration bill. It is exactly what the American people rejected.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, bingo. I think that's, I mean this is the same point Charlie made when we caught wind of this last year. Is that you basically, I mean the record keeping garbage. Right on. When some of these people came over all they have to do is say I actually came, you know, before a certain date and we can't prove it. And then they get it rubber stamped amnesty. And so I think it's garbage. I want to play a clip for you and get your reaction. This was actually last night. Laura Ingraham I think did a phenomenal job cross examining Mike Lawler from New York. He's a Republican. You know they are friends. Laura Ingraham and Mike Lawlor are friends. I think that's noteworthy because she didn't hold back even though they're friends. Okay, let's play SAAT 13.

[Rich Barris]

I don't know what shadows you're looking at but they're not in the shadows. They're working in restaurants. Some are. Others are, of course, many, many of them fraud in California. But this idea. And that's why this bill given amnesty, they're not already given amnesty. Why do you come on television and say that criminal aliens 100% should be

[Charlie Kirk]

removed from this country, period. And the bill provides for that.

[Brandon Gill]

I don't want anyone getting a waiver. I don't want anyone getting a free pass.

[Charlie Kirk]

If you have committed,

[Rich Barris]

please tell my audience. How does an immigration officer determine continuous

[Charlie Kirk]

presence if they cannot prove continuous presence? They wouldn't qualify for this.

[Rich Barris]

I can't imagine Democrat immigration officers under a Democrat president in the future was going to hold this strict, you know,

[Charlie Kirk]

we're not going to let any criminals in, man. She, she, she went for it.

[Blake]

But even with the continuous presence, I, I believe there's parts of this bill that literally will allow people who were previously deported to return. Correct.

[Charlie Kirk]

That's what he said. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Your reaction to that clip?

[Rich Barris]

Yeah.

[Brandon Gill]

You know that Mike, Mike Lawler is a friend of mine. So is Maria Salazar, by the way. Their friends and their colleagues, they're just wrong on this and they're, you know, and I'm glad to see that the reality of this bill is being made more and more clear to the American people because you hear language, hear people saying things like the current state of affairs is amnesty because these people are living in the shadows and nothing is happening. That is just blatantly not true. The current state of affairs is that if you're an illegal alien in the United States, you are subject to deportation, and if you're caught, you're going to be deported out of the country. What this bill does is stops those deportations from happening. So this is by any standard in amnesty bill, and we have to be straightforward about this, have to be straightforward about the fact that this bill does not have any serious vetting requirements. This bill does not ensure that criminal, illegal aliens are taken out of the country or that we can actually ensure the people who are given amnesty should be in our country. There's no practical way to vet 12 million people in a short period of time. So none of that stuff is true. And, but we know that on the surface that anything that is amnesty, we ought to stay away from. You know, at the end of the day, it's really that simple.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, I want to give you an example of why some of this. Anytime we give an inch, they're going to take a mile and it's going to screw us up. And so Here's a Salvadorian MS.13 terrorist and he's an international fugitive. This is according to US Customs, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Danny Granados Garcia. He's wanted in his home country for murdering a pastor. Allegedly. This guy is an example of. We wouldn't deport him cuz he doesn't have a rap sheet in this country. We don't know when he necessarily got here. But he's wanted for murder in his home country. Right. So this is, this is the semantics. Anytime you give these little carve outs that what are we supposed to do with this? No, you got to give, give ICE and Customs and border patrol full leeway to get them all out. You're all on the board. If you are an illegal here, we're going to get you out. This guy's a murderer in his home country, but he hasn't committed a crime here. And these are the types of people that they want us to just ignore out of some misplaced sense of compassion. Meanwhile, you know, excuse me, Meanwhile we're seeing Haitians in Florida, you know, just bludgeoning gas station clerks. This is, none of this should be happening if we had the will to do it. And Brandon, Congressman, I think you are one of the few that has just the sane, consistent drumbeat voice on this stuff. And it's so important that you're out front doing this. So final 45 seconds to you on this issue.

[Brandon Gill]

I appreciate that. There's nothing compassionate about open borders and there's nothing dignified about giving illegal aliens amnesty. The people whose dignity we should be concerned about are the American citizens whose jobs are being taken, whose wages are being suppressed, whose communities are being transformed, whose children's schools are now flooded with fentanyl, who are trying to take their kids to soccer practice and are seeing illegal aliens driving 18 wheelers on their streets that are now more dangerous. Those are the people that we should be looking out for. Those are people, by the way, that we as a of people elected representatives whose interests we actually represent. Not illegal aliens. There's nothing compassionate about open borders. There's nothing compassionate about amnesty. And we ought to return to first principles about who we represent. And that's the American citizen.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, it's not. It's not only is it not compassionate, it's cruelty to Americans. Yep. Congressman, well done on this. Keep charging. You know, I don't want to cause you any problems, but I could see a Senate run in your future one day. I don't want to cause any. I know it gets very territorial down there. I'm just saying, you know, I would be enthusiastic.

[Brandon Gill]

Well, let's kill this amnesty bill before we think about anything else, all right?

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't cause you problems, brother. All right, Brandon Gill from Texas's 26th congressional district. Thank you, sir. Keep up the good work.

[Brandon Gill]

[Charlie Kirk]

Right, but here's what it actually means.

[Blake]

No, no, but I want. I know what it means so I can recite it. That's. I need to, like, prove myself here.

[Charlie Kirk]

All right, so he has not Looked this up.

[Blake]

He's going to just going off memory. So it starts with mm I W G. So that all what's weird is it's the. It's the gay acronym. But it's actually like how to put this? It's not actually gay stuff. It's missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yep.

[Blake]

And so this is a whole thing in Canada where they've made a big cause that First Nations, First Nations, Inuit, Native Americans basically. But in Canada they're more likely to be missing and they're more likely to be murdered. The reason for this is they are in relationships with first nations and Inuit men and there's. They commit more domestic violence per capita, more murders per capita. They unfortunately it's a community with a lot of problems similar to what you'd see in the United States. And so that's why. But in Canada you're required by law to also punish people less for crimes if they're first nations or black, for example. So they're literally more likely to be victimized because of the laws Canada has. Like that is what is going on here. So they go from there. Then they have 2s. That means two spirit. This is a made up thing from about 1990, 91 where they just made it up. Or it's basically you're an Indian, a First nations person and also gay. That is what it is. They just made up a new category for being gay.

[Charlie Kirk]

But then if you're in that group

[Blake]

then you should know lgbt, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, then qq. That is queer and questioning. So queer is sort of gay. But catch all. Lots of different things. Questioning. You're not sure. Do they have I in there? Yes, that's intersex.

[Charlie Kirk]

And then A.

[Blake]

And then A is allies. And then you still got have plus because this is not all consuming, we might add new letters to it later. So that is the full explanation of that acronym. I spent time in a university where I had to learn all of those.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's amazing. So apparently murdered is now a queer identity, which is, you know, why not? I mean we should just throw in every other intersectional group that we can in this. Can we play the clip one more time? I just want to hear her that smooth.

[Blake]

Just cut it off. Cut it off after that.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, play the. Play the side again.

[Rich Barris]

When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous services Canada and Crown Indigenous relations. They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQIA. Plus this is abhorrent. This is callous.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's incredible. I mean that's commitment ruthless.

[Blake]

Just crushes it.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay.

[Blake]

So proud of her.

[Charlie Kirk]

So not only can Canada not beat us in hockey, the one sport they're supposed to, and they by the way, they also lost the World Series to the Dodgers, which I'm still, still happy about.

[Blake]

Very happy about it.

[Charlie Kirk]

They are suiciding themselves on purpose and they have government funds for that. But now they are upset that MMIW G2 he's not doing that. GBTQ IA plus funding has been cut by Carney.

[Blake]

MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA plus I think I got an extra Q in there, unfortunately.

[Charlie Kirk]

QQ what are your thoughts? Send us your thoughts about Canada. Are you glad?

[Blake]

Especially if you're 50%. What's it like? Because yeah, it's easy to joke about this, but you know, to be serious for a moment, Canada is this road not taken where they've kind of kept down the call it the 2020 vibe, the Obama vibe, like maximally live on everything. So stuff that is at least contested here in the US full bore in Canada. So they have maximum assisted suicide, they have state mandated discrimination in criminal punishments. They allow you to discriminate based on race and sex for a job. I saw that at one of their universities. They're hiring for a forestry professor. But the person being hired has to be disabled. You must be a disabled person or identify as a disabled person.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, well that's what I was gonna say. I actually was talking to a gentleman. So it's like 2024 never happened in Canada. But the I was talking to a gentleman that was, you know, we're talking about all the fracturing that's going on and the movement and the coalition. He just was like, you know what? These are the golden years. I'm telling you. This is the golden age. I was like, why is that? He said, well, listen, my company, I almost got delisted from one of the stock exchanges because I didn't have a gay man or a woman on my board. And he said that this gentleman on his board was like, listen, if I need to identify as a gay, black 80 year old man, I'm gonna do that. But none of that that exists anymore. This was years ago now and we've overcome a lot of the woke garbage and companies are actually able to just be a company that's focused on making money. They don't have to have disabled, queer, black, lesbians or whatever on their board just to like satisfy some quota requirement. This is absolutely forward progress. And I want to show you guys one other thing that because, you know, I think we don't pay attention enough to all the wins. If you're frustrated with some of the president's decisions, whether that's Iran or something else, just remember how much worse this actually could be. Right now we have this graphic. It is, the graphic is about asylum claims. So this was a breaking news story that happened. Asylum grants, grant rates have plummeted. Average monthly rate for decided asylum cases is down to 7%. Now, if you compare and contrast that to those spikes during Biden and Obama now, we have made massive problems or progress. You know why? Because the asylum system is rife with fraud. People claim anything they want. If you can claim the Democrat logic, if you can claim that you are a queer. Mm. LGBTQIA plus, whatever, without anybody questioning it or being allowed to question it, well, you can, you can claim asylum and nobody's allowed to question it. Those days are over. It's down to 7% and we should celebrate that. Hallelujah. Rich Barish joins us at the top of hour one. Hour two. We'll be right back.

[Terrence Bates]

Terrance Bates here with your Real America's Voice news break. Appreciate you being here with US President Trump already having a full day of meetings, starting with an intelligence brief briefing this morning. He's also set to participate in policy meetings this afternoon. All of this, of course, happening under the cloud of the current two week cease fire with Iran and that J.D. vance led a U.S. delegation that's set to negotiate with Iran tomorrow. RAF Chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn at the White House this morning with the very latest. Brian, good afternoon to you. Quick question. Is there optimism there at the White House about the outcome of the upcoming negotiation or is this simply a last ditch effort?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, you've got J.D. vance going into those negotiations this weekend in Pakistan. He'll also be joined by Jared Kushner and Steve Wytkoff on these negotiations. Now, some of the things that Iran wants is very different than what is needed in these negotiations. Iran wants to have complete control of their uranium used for peaceful measures. And of course, the US Is opting for a little bit more control and having those Iranian extracted from those countries, plus all conversations about the Strait of Hormuz as well as it remains closed. And we brought this up earlier. How do you enforce a closed Strait of Hormuz when the Iranian military is essentially neutered in that? Now, in regards to what's going on at the White House today, Several closed door meetings, policy meetings are taking place just in the last, I would say 10 minutes. We've seen a lot of activity in between the West Wing and the Executive Eisenhower building. Their Secret Service getting in place for several people to arrive. I have no confirmation who those individuals might be, but they've got a lot of stuff going on here today. And Terrence, at 4 o' clock you have a MAHA roundtable where RFK Jr will be in attendance. I do have confirmation on that as of what they'll be talking about, Terrence. It is absolutely radio silent. I have no details on that roundtable.

[Terrence Bates]

Okay. You know those policy meetings you mentioned, Brian? I was looking at the President's schedule and I counted four separate policy meetings which of course raised my curiosity about what specific policies are going to be addressed. The first thing that comes to mind would be a Iran. But there of course was an intelligence briefing during which I would imagine the President was briefed on various intelligence issues related to Iran. Are these policy meetings, Iran related? What's going on? I realize they're probably keeping a lot of things close to their vest, but the question remains.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, yeah, that's a great question. And once again there's very little details on that, which is kind of a little different than here at the White House. Typically we do get some information that the President will be meeting with, you know, so and so to discuss so and so. We have not seen that today. So those closed door policy meetings might in fact remain closed. Now we are the secondary poll for today's coverage at the White House which means if these meetings do open, that real America's voice will be inside and be to able to give you all the details on what's going on at. There is also at 4 o' clock today, the First Lady Melania Trump is holding a brief press conference in fraud inside of the front portico at the White House. We'll get a little bit details on that. I know we will have. I'll be personally in there covering that as well. So you got the first lady at the front steps of the White House. You have all the activity in the Oval Office and what a busy day here at the White House. But all eyes are on this weekend's negotiations there in Pakistan where you have Vice President J.D. vance leading those negotiations.

[Terrence Bates]

Brian, before I let you go, gotta ask about President Trump's meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rute yesterday. It was behind closed doors. We didn't really get much of an indication from the White House or otherwise what those talks entailed. Or how they went. The President Trump, though, taking the true social basis, basically saying that NATO wasn't there when we needed them. That was a, quote. Any indication yet? We're 24 hours in. Is the White House talking

[Charlie Kirk]

really?

[Brian Glenn]

Not a whole lot of readout from that as well, other than that true social post and some articles around that meeting that suggests President Trump has said, look, NATO doesn't understand situations until pressure is applied on them, has been very critical of NATO nations not allowing US Air forces to land and refuel in those countries as they were engaged in the war and with Iran. But we'll keep an eye on everything here at the White House. Terrence.

[Terrence Bates]

Brian, interesting times afoot there at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Brian Glenn reporting for us on the.

[Charlie Kirk]

All right, welcome back. Hour two of the Charlie Kirk show is underway and we have Rich Barris on the line. Rich, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's good to see you, my friend.

[Rich Barris]

You as well, guys. Thanks for having me. It's great to be here.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, man. Listen, I am told, I'm credibly told, Rich, that we're not allowed to say mass deportations anymore. It's out. It's, it's what's in. Mass deportations is out. Digni Dodd is in. Amnesty is in.

[Blake]

Worst of the worst.

[Charlie Kirk]

Worst of the worst. You know. So. Okay, what am I missing here? I'll give the audience a little, little precursor. We, we've been texting and you told me there's quite the quite the little backstory here. So the floor is yours, Rich, Tell us what you know.

[Blake]

Indeed.

[Rich Barris]

So there isn't this isn't new, right? Amnesty is never dead. And I think the right knows that. The Republican base voters know that amnesty is never dead. Amnesty is always right around the corner and you always have to guard against it because a lot of Republican donors want amnesty, right? And I argued when we saw these protests going on against ice. You're not going to see any investigations into who organizes these protests because I think you'd be a little bit surprised by some of the people that are okay with them. And this is a backstory. All right. So I just wanted to say that as a preface, Andrew. But look, last year, right, just to dive right into this, last year, I, along with some other pollsters that are considered, you know, credible by maga, were asked to collaborate on a project that was sold initially as a way that if there could be a grand bargain, what are the deal breakers with MAGA voters and what would you have to do in this Included everything you just said and went over. You can't use words like that with maga.

[Brian Glenn]

Right?

[Rich Barris]

You know that. So how could it be sold, Etcetera, etcetera. I didn't even want to sign on to it, Andrew, unless I was given an explicit. An explicit promise, whatever you want to call it, that this will not be misrepresented to the president with that without. Without my presence. Right. And that's what I was concerned would happen to the product. We did not a huge national study. We did. I want to say it had to be at least a dozen states, at least. I actually think it was more like

[Charlie Kirk]

16 to me originally.

[Rich Barris]

Yeah, it may have been. I'm not sure how many. Some of the others had. It was. It is at least 16, just judging from what I know people did. And then focus groups, of course. And we did this in not just battleground states. It had to be more. You're right, it was battleground adjacent. One of them was in Maine, for crying out loud.

[Brandon Gill]

Right.

[Rich Barris]

Because why we were concerned about the second Congressional District. Donald Trump performs there in a way that other Republicans do not. Because of Donald Trump's base, his coalition, which is not the Republican coalition. They're two totally different things. And unfortunately, this is what people should know. I mean, unfortunately, that's what the donors who paid, you know, the who paid donor who paid for the project really wanted, which is why I didn't want to sign on to it without getting that guarantee. I got that guarantee. I warned the vice President that they would probably try to go behind my back and sell it to him without completely misinterpreting what it said, completely misreading the data, or honestly, let's be real, intentionally obfuscating what it said. And the report that we gave was filled with caveats, filled with nuances. And to make a very long story short, that's exactly what they did. So they wanted the names, they wanted the credibility, and they wanted the stamps of all the guys like me who polled well in the Trump era and know the MAGA coalition. But they did not want guys like me, and not just me, but others, you know, who are more reliable to tell the truth, to convey to the President what it actually meant. So they waltzed in there and tried to sell it to him. And this is where we are.

[Charlie Kirk]

Now, to sum it up, you're saying that there was a moneyed individual that basically wanted a result, and when you didn't deliver the results, because actually mass deportations are more popular than, I guess this individual wanted them to Be, or at least there was nuance in the way the polling was. Actually the results you got, you then got cut out of the process is essentially 100%. So what did you find? Despite having a guarantee, this is why you need to be very suspicious about polling friends out in the audience. So, okay, you sent me a list of three things that you thought that the polling actually revealed. And one of them has to do with masks, one of them's with the FBI and what constitutes crimes that'll get you punished if you get in the way of ICE officers. Okay, so why don't you walk us through your three points. Points.

[Rich Barris]

So we, and it's important to know how early this was we identified before it became, you know, social media sensation, before big media started to run with this. Yeah, you had left wing media talking about ICE and using. They at that time had the ICE narrative basically all to themselves. We were wrapped up and very busy with other things like Operation Midnight Hammer. I mean, that's how long ago this was when they started this. Yeah. And we basically warned them that, look, ICE is, is, is having an image issue. So there are a couple of things you have to do to address it because you can't cave on mass deportations. If you do, your base is going to be pissed. And by the way, there's no reason to because the public still supports it. One of them, and you know, Blake and I have talked about this before on the show, masks, it was a big deal. They were toxic at that point. And when you look at, you know, how people were getting doxed in the first place, it really wasn't required to keep these masks on. Either way, it didn't matter. We lost the public debate so badly. There was no coming back from it. We had to get rid of the masks. Second is that they did not view ICE as professional, as like the FBI, even the DEA for that matter. And they wanted the FBI to come in and have control over the resting environment. This way we didn't have these incidents that we kept having which ultimately blew up into shootings. Right later.

[Charlie Kirk]

Minneapolis. Exactly.

[Rich Barris]

Yeah, that's right. And the third thing was a confusion over what constitutes these crimes because we were talking to, and this wasn't quite core based maga, but you know, Trump coalition voters saying, you know, we're not sure what constitutes a crime that will end you up on this list. And while we do support mass deportations, we would rather see the really bad people go. And they weren't even saying that the Trump administration wasn't doing it. What they were saying was that there was just no information available. You have MSNBC constantly running stories about how this one didn't pay a parking ticket, so they ripped the baby out of her hand and threw her into a cage and sent her on her way. They wanted this laid out like, no, this is what we do. This is what you know, this is the priority list of crimes. Those three things simply alone, Andrew, would have gone a very long way way in avoiding what essentially was a political catastrophe. And it ended up that way because by the time we were done, this was a long term project. By the time we were done, ICE was less popular than the FBI. There were more people who wanted to abolish ICE than who wanted to abolish the FBI. And it was stunning to me. Nobody listened, nobody wanted to hear it. Because it dawned on me, the donors don't care. The donors want amnesty, so they don't care if ICE gets defunded. That's the truth. Truth. And that is the hard, terrible truth. And meanwhile, we have an FBI who waged two coups, Andrew, against the sitting president. And they were more popular than ice.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah. And so go through your points again. What you found when you actually pulled this issue was got to get rid of the masks, the mask optically toxic. Listen, we all want our ICE agents to be safe. We don't want them to be targeted, but they optically toxic. Okay. It was second point was use the FBI on the arresting and enforcement aspect of these rates. So if you get in the way. Yes. And impede ICE agents doing their job, the FBI would come in and be the enforcement mechanism. And then three clearly define what constitutes crimes that would land you in jail and prison. Okay, I think that's really, really clear. I'm going to keep you for another segment, Rich, if you can. And because there's more to go through, especially this donor element, I want to get into that and really flesh that out. Okay, I want to tell you guys right now about Hillsdale College. This was Charlie's favorite college, the beacon of the North. If everybody learned from Hillsdale College, we would have a better country. We really, really would. People would understand and love their constitution, understand the values that undergird this amazing country of ours. And we would be able to preserve it for more and more generations ahead. But here's the good news. You can go check out Hillsdale College. You can learn like Charlie [e-mail] They offer over 40 free online courses that are extremely well produced, extremely thorough and thoughtful, taught by professors at Hillsdale These are the best leading academics in our country, in my opinion. So please check out charlieforhillsdale.com charlieforhillsdale.Com learn like Charlie did. Learn first, then lead boldly and clearly with conviction and passion. Charlie for hillsdale.com we'll be right back. All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. More with our friend Rich Barris, the people's pundit, founder and CEO of Big Data Poll. Rich, I want to zero in on something here because I think it's really important. And that is the donor element that we know that Big ag, we know that big hospitality we know these are the industries that tend to often donate to Republican causes campaigns and they're the most hungry for cheap labor. It's very frustrating. And then I noticed something when I was looking at this Dignidad act, the production value of it. I'm going to play this clip and we're going to tie these two pieces together.

[Rich Barris]

Sat 16 what does the word dignity mean to you? To me, it means not having to live in the shadows. It means being proud to contribute to the economy and be respected for it. That's what 10 million illegal immigrants deserve. Let them work legally and generate over $100 billion in revenue for our treasury. No path to citizenship, no right to vote in our elections and no access to federal programs. It's called the Dignity Act. Where they can work and live without fear is the right thing to do, is the Christian thing to do, is the American thing to do. So let's do it. The Christian thing to do.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah.

[Blake]

You, you love the Bible, don't you?

[Public Investing Announcer]

You have to get rid of your country.

[Charlie Kirk]

The Bible says that. I got super triggered when I watched that the first time with that line too. It's the Christian thing to do. It's the American thing to do. So let's. No. Okay. Enforcing your laws and looking out for the people of this country is actually our Christian duty to our fellow citizens. That's the first responsibility of this country. But you notice the production value there, the music and the multi angles and the sharp lighting. There's money behind this stuff. And it's crazy that we take our eye off the ball for one second and we're focused on a ceasefire in Iran or whatever. Instantly they've got these things in the hopper and you're getting pushed out when you're doing polling, Rich, to reveal that, hey, actually mass deportations is still popular. We just have to change some messaging things. We lost on the mass things. We gotta, like change the way we enforce it. Add Some clarity. And meanwhile, so I, we, we gotta, I know that you can't tell us, but I have some guesses of who you might have been working with. And again, I go back to big ag. And I go back to big hospitality. Yeah, you got it. Yeah. Okay, so I figured as much. So I know you can't tell us because of your non disclosures and all this stuff, Rich, but like what the vibe in that room. So you're in a room with a big money guy that's wanting to get an answer, wants to engineer an answer from your polling. What, tell us, like give us the reality of this donor class and how hungry they are for this cheap labor.

[Rich Barris]

It was a constant fight. You know, if you go to a doctor, I don't care how much money you have, if you go to a doctor and there's something seriously wrong with you, I mean it's, it's a serious issue. Are you going to second guess everything the doctor tells you? Are you going to let the doctor do his job and be professional and get the best outcome or the right outcome for you? That's not how it works in my industry. It's constant fighting with the wording of the question, which you know as upholstered with integrity is a leading question. It's constantly, how are the graphics going to be presented to the President? Can we possibly. Let me give you an example, Andrew. If you say, do you support this? And the Trump base says no, and then you give them a bunch of riders in a series of questions to try to get them to sign on. Well, what about if it doesn't include anybody who came over during the Biden era, which is a deal breaker breaker by the way, and then you get a few more people on board. It's constantly, well, can't we just combine those two together and say that that's the total to give to the President? Well, no, we can't because that, that total includes specific riders that were also polled because initially they told you no. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Right. So it's the President's very visual when you give him something, a product like that, he wants to see the numbers. He wants to see the red.

[Charlie Kirk]

Right.

[Rich Barris]

Because Republicans are ready to see which one's what and that's it. He doesn't want to dive down and look and see that it takes three, four, five specific proposals, different language assigned to it and how you sell it. They don't want to deliver that to him. They want to mash it all together and Present to the President, as you know what, this only leaves like 10% of your base and that's nothing. Well, first of all, 10% is the end of you as a coalition. It's not nothing. Secondly, you can't do that. It's dishonest. But is a lot of money behind it, Andrew, and you want to get hired again. So there are very few people who are like me who will spend Christmas Eve screaming about how the product looks, you know, or by the way, which carried all through the new year celebrations. This was a long term thing. Very, very, very few pollsters will push back. They'll just say, let's get him what he wants. I understand. There's the wink, there's the nod. I want the money.

[Charlie Kirk]

That's so infuriating. And it's why it's on our side. Yeah, exactly. And the grift is real. And so I just want everybody to be very cautious when you see polls that seem too good to be true because they probably are false. Okay. You know, so this reminds ME of the 100% of MAGA supports this. Like, I mean, I'm speaking to another

[Blake]

friend of mine who works adjacent to Poland and he talked about the fact just sort of the way you can use, use polls to set things up. And he told me, we commission polls and I know not what 90% of them are going to say before the results even come out, but it's that you just, you create these polls so that you can convince people to do what they already want to do or convince them to do what you know you want them to do. You can just set everything up so it's, there are some polls that provide information, but there's arguably a lot more polls that are just used to manipulate people.

[Charlie Kirk]

And you know, President, if he was given the right, right information, we would get better policies. And that's why it's so critical that we and you, Rich, expose how this grift game works. All right, I want to pivot just really quick. If you have a final thought on that, that's fine.

[Rich Barris]

I just was going to say, you know what drives me nuts about this was this idea like, oh, let's not burden the President with the minutia, the specifics, the caveat, the nuances. Are you saying the President's a stupid man? He's a smart guy. Give me 10 minutes to explain this to him correctly. It was so it's, it's insulting and

[Charlie Kirk]

we all know what it is. We're going to keep, we're going to keep saying mass deportations, because guess what, that's what the people want. This is America. What the people want, the people get. Just sell it differently. You got to have a messaging, you know, strategy that helps move it along. I mean, this is what Bovino was saying. He's saying, look at what we did in Louisiana, in New Orleans, look at what we did even in la. Look what we did in all these places is where we had the messaging out front. We had a strategy, they executed the strategy. Everything went to crap in Minneapolis. We get it. I mean, that was, that was a tidal wave and a political disaster. But it doesn't mean that we don't want mass deportation still. You just have to do it in a way that, you know, we want commas, not drama. We don't want the drama. Keep the ICE Asians off the headlines, but we want mastery. Deportations. Go ahead, Blake.

[Blake]

I wonder, 30 seconds. But would it be a workable approach if you said, if you went around saying, oh, we're getting the worst of the worst, and then you just started targeting business after business that's employing people illegally? Because I think there's a lot of more sympathy when you go after all this business was employing all illegal workers and you smear the business owner instead of 20 seconds.

[Rich Barris]

But I just want to say I can't believe in 20 seconds left. And we got to that because that was another big sticking point. They had no sympathies for big business yet guess who were the big dumb owners. So of course, we couldn't bring that up either. That's another. I'm so glad you said that, Blake, because that was a fight that me and one other pollster had with everybody else. Like this is the obvious path to take.

[Brandon Gill]

Hello.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, Rich bears, thanks for ticking us off here before we leave here. Libby Emmons joins us next.

[Terrence Bates]

Welcome back to this Real America's. This IS voice News break. I'm Terrence Bates. The historic Artemis 2 mission is entering its final stretch. The four astronauts are headed back to Earth after a record breaking journey around the moon. The crew aboard the NASA's Orion spacecraft has completed a lunar flyby traveling farther from Earth than any human since the Apollo era. And they say they're returning with many more pictures and many more more stories to share. Mission pilot Victor Glover in fact saying the team is eager to reveal what they've seen, including never before seen views of the moon's far side, which is a region no human has ever laid eyes on until now.

[Charlie Kirk]

We have to get back. There's so much data that you've seen already. But all the good stuff is coming back with us. There's so many more pictures, so many more stories and gosh, I haven't even begun to process what we've been through. We've still got two more days. And riding a fireball through the atmosphere is profound as well.

[Terrence Bates]

Back here on Earth, President Trump sending Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan for talks with Iran as the fragile two week cease fire between the United States and Iran appears to be on shaky ground. Meantime, the commander in Chief may with NATO Secretary General behind closed doors at the White House on Wednesday. Publicly, however, he criticized the military alliance with our European allies, writing on truth social quote, NATO wasn't there when we needed them and they won't be there when we need them again. President Trump referring to NATO member countries who ignored his call to help as Iran shut down the Gulf of Hormuz. That disputed waterway remains, remains one of the main bones of contention as the United States delegation led by Vice President Vance prepares for negotiations with Iran tomorrow. As for NATO, during the White House press briefing yesterday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt indicating, excuse me, that President Trump would likely discuss the possibility of the United States leaving NATO. There's still no word though, if that conversation happened or if there are any moves to make that a reality. We'll keep you updated. That's a quick check of your headlines.

We've got lots to go over with Libby. Thank you for joining us, Libby. I hope you're doing well.

[Martha Stewart]

Yeah, you too. Nice to see you guys.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's great to see you. So I, I saw this clip out of Virginia. So Abigail Spanberger, we, she's been governor of Virginia for about 12 weeks now and apparently her poll numbers are slumping. And she got asked about this and it was just too delicious. We had to play it SOT6 there

[Blake]

was a poll up that had your

[Rich Barris]

numbers a little unfavorable on your numbers. What do you attribute that to? I would say if everybody hated me, why is everybody putting my face on their mailers for the referendum? Would be question number one.

[Charlie Kirk]

Smirk awkward. Smile uncomfortable. Go ahead.

[Blake]

She's just, she's a very, she's like a skinwalker or something. You get this thing. She's not, there's not.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, don't ever go small Virginia so creeps me out. Here's the details on the poll. We have another shot here for you, Libby. So we, to be fair, she's about 50. 50. All right. But when you compare it to past governors of Virginia at this state, she's not doing so good. Okay. Soft 15. Glenn Youngkin had great approval ratings, but look at her. She's three months in and her approval

[Rich Barris]

rating is almost what it is for disapproval.

[Charlie Kirk]

About 50% like her and 50% don't like her.

[Rich Barris]

But if you compare that to approval ratings for past governors, nobody else was where she was at this point in

[Martha Stewart]

their candidacy or in their governorship. And so she was asked about this

[Rich Barris]

yesterday and she defended it.

[Charlie Kirk]

So she's, she's not doing well because she ran as a moderate and she's gone full commie over in Virginia. Your take, Libby Evans.

[Martha Stewart]

Yeah, she sure has. This is something I've talked to Some of our staffers at the Post Millennial who live in Virginia about this, and they say that they are so sick of all of this gerrymandering stuff that she had previously said that she would not back gerrymandering in the state of Virginia, and now she's going full force on that. They're also telling me that there have been a number of illegal immigrant murders in the state just since she's taken office. We saw an absolutely brutal murder in Fairfax, Virginia, of a mom who was just at a bus stop and this psychopathic illegal immigrant came off the bus and stabbed her to death. Absolutely horrifying. And these are people who have no business in the country and in many cases are people who have a criminal record in the state and should not be in the state. They should not be in the country, and they certainly shouldn't be going around stabbing women. There's also. She's also reversed course on the cooperation of Virginia police with ice. So that's an issue as well, especially when you consider these illegal immigrant murders. So I think people are looking around and they're saying, well, you know, we elected this woman who said she was going to be a moderate, and instead she is a far left crazy progressive, and we're looking at a 50 50. So while Democrats for the most part continue to support her, she's not making any inroads with Republicans in the state, and that's going to be a problem.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, and by the way, the mailers that her face is being plastered on, a lot of those are against the redistricting effort that they're leading.

[Blake]

So we have to hit that. We're hitting this really hard because if you're in Virginia, the final vote is next week. Next week, Tuesday, I believe. We get the results of Virginia's redistricting. They're trying to take it from a pretty even House split. 6, 5, 10, 1. They're trying to make it 10 Democrats, one Republican. This very easily could decide the House next fall. Either way, five seats is a ton. This matters a lot. And I know we lost that. Virginia's race wasn't super close last fall, but the polling shows this is very close. There have only been three polls on it. One is yes, up by eight, one is no up by eight. One is yes, up by five. So right there, not only that, if you get into the cross tabs, the highest propensity voters are actually the most skeptical about it. The ones who have already voted are the most likely to say, no, I don't support this. And we are seeing evidence of higher turnout in the Republican parts of the state. So this is a dead heat, as we like to say. If you haven't voted yet, go vote right now. I don't know why you didn't listen the last two times we told you to do that, but do it now. And I think the last day is probably this Saturday. If you don't do it by then, make sure you vote Tuesday. It matters.

[Charlie Kirk]

Exactly. And this is a state that Kamala took by six points. So this is a pretty close state. Right. And so they had six, five maps. They're going to try and go to 101 maps. A total, total disaster, by the way. And it does have national implications. And what's also infuriating about this, you said this, Libby, that she ran against doing this. Now she's all in favor. Cuz they lie. And secondly, before this, they had A plus maps. They were rated A plus for being fair. Okay. To the voting electorate. So I mean, it's a bastardization of the sort of special election process which I think is getting litigated. But nevertheless, the vote is going forward. So vote, vote, vote, vote, vote. Libby, you also used to live in the city of New York. You have a special place in your heart for the city of New York, I think it's safe to say. And Mom, Donnie is getting a dismal report card. New report out from the New York Post. Mom, Donnie gets dismal report card from New Yorkers after less than 100 days in office. What are you hearing?

[Martha Stewart]

Yeah, so I was looking at this poll as well. He's got a 48% approval rating, which is substantially lower than Eric Adams, previous mayor's 61% at this point in his term. It's more on par with Bill de Blasio's approval rating. And he was one of the worst mayors the city has ever seen ever in the history of the city. And that's really saying something. He's got a 33, 30% disapproval rating. Mom, Donnie has. And as he's had his 100 days in office, it's been pretty. The far leftism has been really pretty rampant. And also he's been breaking some campaign promises. He's already walking back the free buses things because it turns out, golly gee, it's not that affordable. Who would have known that? I don't know. Perhaps the entire city knew that and they elected him for it anyway, they got on board. So he's trying to walk that back. He's also proposing some plans based on some equity reporting that went into. That was conducted after George Floyd. This was put into place 2022 by city council. Hey, let's get on board with some of this BLM equity stuff. And he's noticed that there are racial disparities in terms of income and various other things, housing in the city. And he's decided that this is all based on prejudice and racism, not choices that people make. So that's something that people are looking at now. He's complaining that white households earn something like 200,000. Average black households around 20,000. And he's claiming that this is all racism. And this is a study where everybody, all 45 agencies of the city had to look at practices and policies through the lens of critical race theory. The idea was, go look for racism. And if you're going to put on glasses that are covered with racism, that's all you're going to find.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, and if you think that the wealth disparity in New York City is caused by racism, I don't know what to do for you. I don't know how to help you.

[Blake]

The entire basic purpose of New York City at this point might as well be to reallocate money in order to solve disparities.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, well, and remember, his campaign promise was to tax white neighborhoods to, you know, essentially loot the wealth of white New Yorkers, give it to black and brown New Yorkers. Here's the clip. Sat 17. The inequities in this city, the racial inequities, are stark.

[Terrence Bates]

The wealth of a median white household

[Blake]

in the city is more than $200,000,

[Charlie Kirk]

while that of a Black household is less than $20,000. We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act

[Terrence Bates]

upon a framework that puts equity right

[Blake]

at the center of it. Standing right beside, right behind the mayor in that clip, by the way, is City Councilman Yusef Salaam. He is one of the Central Park Five. He participated in a gang rape of the Central park jogger. And that was a giant crusade to let him off, basically. Allegedly. Okay, I'm saying he 100% did it.

[Charlie Kirk]

Allegedly. So, yeah, allegedly, allegedly.

[Martha Stewart]

And then media gets on board and paints all these beautiful paintings of him. And now there he is in city council. Yeah, I looked at this, and as you know, a white person who lived in New York City who definitely did not make the kind of income that he's looking for, but would have probably been taxed at a higher rate anyway, you know, just because of where I lived or whatever, it's really surprising to see how many people are actually on board with this? Where you also have black New Yorkers who are homeowners, who are railing against this, saying, you know, we don't need to be taxed more just because we have the good fortune to own a home. We're trying to do this crazy thing called building generational wealth for our families, for our children, for our communities. That's important. And you have mom Donnie continuing to try to extort Albany for more tax revenue and more of all this stuff because he wants to implement more and more crazy programs that are based on equity, not opportunity. And one of the greatest things about New York City is just the amount of opportunity that is available. There are, there are a lot of really good public schools, you know, and if you work really hard, if you tell your kids to work really hard, they can get into those schools and they can make a great name for themselves. They can make a future. There's Nobel Prize winners that come out of these New York City schools. And so when you look at the way that Mamdani is treating the city, he wants to slash everybody off at the knees who's doing well and give those, you know, give those legs to somebody else so that they can climb higher. But these are people who, living in one of the cities that has greatest opportunity in the world, have been unable to build on those opportunities. And that's really just a shame. And I think it's going to be a shame for the children of that city.

[Charlie Kirk]

Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk show final segment of the day. We are with Libby Emmons from the post Millennial and Human Events want you guys to check out both of those. They do great work. And obviously, Jack Posobic show that is on right after ours. Human Events Daily with Jack Posobic. All right, Blake, you got a story on the Pope that Everybody's talking about.

[J.D. Vance]

J.D.

[Charlie Kirk]

vance is getting asked about it.

[Blake]

Yeah, it's. It's just interesting. I'm not entirely sure how to react to it. This is a reporting from the Free Press. That's Barry Weiss's outfit that supposedly the Pentagon, supposedly the Pentagon of one of our officials there, Elbridge Colby, summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who's the Vatican's ambassador to the United States, for a meeting in January. And this is in the wording of the Free Press that he told the. That he told this cardinal that the United States has the military power to do, quote, whatever it wants, and that the Pope, the American Pope Leo, had, quote, better take its side. And supposedly in this confrontation, the US Went so far as to invoke the Avignon papacy. And that raises my eyebrow. That sounds a little unlikely to me, to be Frank, for the 99% of you who have no idea what that's in reference to. In the 1300s, the king of France forcibly relocated the Pope to a town in France called Avignon. And that's where the Pope was instead of Rome for a little under a hundred years. And for a period, there were even two popes. There was a pope in Avignon and a Pope in Rome. Very complicated business. It was very important 700 years ago. It all sounds very unlikely to me.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, so, yes. So a spokesman for the Department of Defense told Newsweek that the Free Press's characterization of the meeting was highly exaggerated and distorted. Distorted. The meeting between Pentagon and Vatican officials was a respectful and reasonable discussion. The spokesman said, we have nothing but the highest regard and welcome continued dialogue with the Holy See.

[Blake]

Yeah. Now we should be frank. There has been a lot of friction between the new papacy and the admin. I'll be frank. I think the Pope has been a little annoying with his rhetoric on migration, on immigration, stuff like that. It bothers me because I just. I don't think it really is in line with traditional Christian views on things like that. And it's annoying. You used to have. The Pope would say things that are annoying. You go, oh, well, he said it in Italian and it's getting translated. Weird. Now we have this Pope from Chicago and he just says stuff and it sounds like a lib commentator on msnow. And you're just. It's frustrating and annoying. That said, I also don't think you want to be picking fights with, with the Vatican. They are an institution with a long legacy, a lot of moral legitimacy. We don't need to spar with them either. We can respectfully disagree with them. That's what I hope, anyway.

[Charlie Kirk]

Libby?

[Martha Stewart]

Yeah, I mean, I think that it's. I think it's been interesting to see the Pope. This is the first American Pope. I'm Catholic, so full disclosure there. Fun fact about the Avignon papacy. I believe that that's where we got the wine, the Chateauneuf department. Pop. That came from the Avignon pamphasy. But, yeah, I've been following Leo on X, coming out all of the time, speaking against war, speaking in favor of being nice to migrants and into a certain regard. I really respect what he's doing. He's saying no war. That's really a pretty Catholic perspective at this point. No war, be nice to migrants. That's, you know, of course we should be kind to these people. And this is, of course, not the first time that a religious leader like the Pope, a religious Catholic leader, has come into conflict with the big military powers of the world. It kind of speaks to a certain sense of balance, and it makes sense. I mean, the papacy is not here to back the American government. That's not what it's for. It's supposed to guide Catholics in their view. So that's, I think that's what matters here, is the speaking to Catholics about how they should behave. Should Catholics be in favor of war? Probably not. But that doesn't mean that you don't back your United States compeller high water, no matter what. And I'm frankly very comfortable with that, you know, potential contradiction. And the same thing is true with the migration. I think that it makes a lot of sense to be kind to migrants, to be kind to people who are intent on leaving their own nations. But that doesn't mean they have to come to the United States. There is a separation there, certainly, between faith in Jesus Christ and what you think is best for your nation. They're not always going to necessarily be the same thing. Right? I mean, I don't think that we should let our nation be overrun because that would certainly get in the way of faith and expressing faith and all of that stuff, too. So there has to be a balance. But I think Leo is doing what he thinks is the right thing to do. I think America is doing what America thinks is the right thing thing to do. And it's okay if those two things are not always aligned.

[Blake]

I'm perfectly comfortable with that there's been a similar story that was unfolding in the past week. There's this push that's been made to frame the Pentagon under Pete Hegseth, who is a Protestant, as actively anti Catholic in some capacity. There was a story that they had a Good Friday service on Good Friday and that they sent out a notice where it said protestant service, no Catholic Mass. And this was hyped up by a lot of people as them actively. Do not have a Mass on Good Friday.

[Martha Stewart]

We just don't do that.

[Blake]

Yeah, it's the only day of the year I actually went to a service on Good Friday. You still have the Eucharist because they'll prepare it in advance, but they just distribute it. They don't do the whole.

[Charlie Kirk]

Wait, you just said they don't. They don't have a service, but you went to one.

[Blake]

Well, so we have a service.

[Martha Stewart]

We don't have like a specific Good Friday Mass. I mean, there's Mass every day. If you show up at your church at like 8 in the morning, it's important.

[Blake]

Sacraments.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, yeah, got it. Listen, I'm a cradle Catholic, but I'm obviously a little rusty on some of the particulars. But I can guarantee you that Pete Hegseth has nothing but love for the Catholic Church and Catholics serving in the military. But it's something we actually talked about with Michael Knowles. It does feel like there is some sort of effort to drive a wedge between Catholics and Protestants, evangelicals specifically, in this country. I don't know where that's coming from exactly, but I don't feel it innately myself. It just feels like there's forces that are trying to drive a wedge between Catholics and Protestants. And I genuinely. I don't resonate with it at all, actually.

[Blake]

What I would say is Catholics and evangelicals and different brands of Protestant, they have different beliefs about Christianity and we shouldn't ignore those things. I think if you go too far on ecumenism, you miss that. You kind of end up imagining that doctrine isn't important and that, oh, it's just we all kind of, some of us just like ceremony a bit more than others. And it is more than that that's going on. Getting back to the big picture, I think it's pretty. It seems pretty obvious there's going to be friction between this admin and the Pope. The Pope might bash the President a bit, I would say, in contrast to most world leaders, The President probably shouldn't bash the Pope back.

[Charlie Kirk]

He's just.

[Blake]

It's not a fight that's worth picking. There's a good exchange. I remember, I think there was a tech leader who was making fun of the Pope and a guy just said, don't mock the Pope. Don't mock the Pope. And if they did say something about we have military power, I find it unlikely that this administration did that. But I do remember the supposed line by Joseph Stalin, how many divisions does the Pope have? And then the church played a big role in bringing down communism in Eastern Europe. You just.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, but my point is I'm not saying the doctrinal issues don't matter. They certainly can and do sometimes. But in general, we have way more in common than we do. That separates us. Namely, Jesus Christ.

[Blake]

Yes.

[Charlie Kirk]

Is our Lord and Savior. So. Amen. Libby Evans, thank you for joining us. The post Millennial and human events. Thanks for making the time, Libby. We'll see you again soon.

[Martha Stewart]

Thanks so much, guys.

[Charlie Kirk]

All right, we'll be back tomorrow. Until then,
