The Charlie Kirk show starts now Minnesota, it's apparently a business. Whistleblowers are coming forward. And if they are real, Mike, and if what they're saying can be documented, and what they're saying is they told Tim Walls, they told Keith Ellison about the fraud when it was happening and they not only didn't do anything, they retaliated against them, Mike. If that's true, if that can be documented, these guys need to be prosecuted, held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. What needs to stop is a demonization of one community involved in this. What needs to stop is an absolutely unproven storyline that continues to resurface on the House floor. That this money went to terrorists and it's targeted at one group of our citizens here, of Minnesotans. We'll own that this thing needs to be fixed. We'll own that there were problems in this. We will own that there are fixes. And we think we propose the right amount, but we're open to that to try and close this. But again, I am not going to allow folks to use this as a hammer against a group of people. So this is Quality Leering Center. I meant to say Quality Learning Center. Don't open up. They said they spelled learning wrong. Don't open up. We've arrived to ABC Learning Center. All the windows are blacked out. I would like to check a child in the daycare. I would like to see if I could bring little Joey, my son, little Joey here. Is there a paperwork? Can I check out the daycare? No. The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me and I appreciate it. We have to be honest at times with the problems that we're having in our community. And we need our community to help us fix those problems together because it's real and it's serious. At the same time. If people have taken anything that I have said out of context in a way that's caused harm, I apologize and I'm sorry for that because that's not my intention at all. I want to be clear, clear that the legislative Auditory report gave us a clear path. It told us that we could do better. And just like Min Lars, I now own that and I own the fix for that. This is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you. This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit. This is what happens when they scapegoat and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy. When you hear the Vice President, United States talk about now, white people won't have to apologize for being white. That's never happened once in my whole damn life. And I think everybody in this room knows what they're doing. So we're here today to say enough of this. We're here today to stand that Minnesota will protect their neighbors. Governor Tim Walz is saying that you and others that are out there trying to expose this, you know, you're doing it because you're white supremacists. What is your response to him? Yeah, Tim wants votes. There are entire apartment complexes where white people have been pushed out of these apartment complexes because Somalians have taken over in their inside of these towns like Minneapolis where they can go and go get votes from these people. And if you have 100,000 people that will vote for you because you're going to enable and let this stuff happen and because you're going to call white person racist for calling out facts, this is what's going to happen to a state like Minnesota. Minnesotans, they say Minnesota, nice. But they are very upset. And I fully understand why they're upset because they don't have a governor who's actually working for them, that he's actually working against them. In 2020, one of them received 1.3 million. In 2021 they got 987,000. In 2022, they got 714,000. That's the last I have for that one. And then the other one, 1.604 million. In fiscal year 2025, fiscal year 2024, they got about 800,000. And in fiscal year 2023, they got $904,059. This place right here, it's from the state of Minnesota website. It says you have 102 children here in your child care. Minnesota child care. Right here. It's from the state of Minnesota's website. We're just wondering where the children are. Yeah, where are the children? It says you have 102 children here and you got $2.66 million this year in funding. We'd like to ask where's the money going? Look at that. Shut us down. Where are the children at? No children inside of this daycare center. And look at this daycare center right here. No children inside of this daycare center. But between those buildings, over $2.6 million. It's the most wonderful time of the year and Valpak is here to make it even better. This month, as you sip through holiday mail, don't miss, miss the blue Valpak envelope.

The voice of a generation that still has the will to believe in the greatest country in the history of the world. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Talk a lot. Here we go. All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm Andrew Colvett, executive producer of this show, joined by Blake Neff, who is. He is in an undisclosed location in South Dakota. Hold on, hold on. I've disclosed this location. All right, come at me, bro. Come at me, bro. Just because my back, my background is like a featureless wall in my bedroom. You look like you're in a hostage situation, Blake. Blink twice. Maybe I am. Yeah. Blink twice. It's called family vacations, Family holidays. Ex. So we're going to get right off started here because hour two is going to be a year in retrospective. We're going to play a bunch of Charlie clips. It's going to be fun. I'm really looking forward to it. And just kind of tracing his steps as in a remarkable year and a tragic year. But we want to remember all of the things that Charlie left us with and so many of his amazing. So many of the amazing memories that we have with him and of him. Hour one, we're going to load up with this Minnesota story. It's just. It's so big, it's so important because I think it's going to unlock a lot of other storylines that we're going to see play out in 2026. Here to get us started is the great Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Department of Homeland Security. She is calling in Tricia. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. Tric. If Trish is there. Immi Studio, I've got her. I can hear her. Can you hear him? Can you hear me, Trisha? Oh, we're updating our routing, Blake. All right, well, while we get Andrew sorted out, Trisha, thank you for joining us. We were discussing it really all month, this story out of Minnesota with the Somalis. It started with talking about it was coverage of the autism centers, talking about Medicaid fraud, talking about all sorts of stuff. But now it's really gone ultraviral. And we'll have them on later in the show. Nick Shirley knocking on the doors of some daycares. People becoming really aware of that. There's dozens, hundreds of these daycares with supposedly hundreds of children at them, getting millions of taxpayer dollars. Some of them may not exist at all. Some of them may be massively exaggerating how many services they provide. This has really become. It's gone insanely viral. I think Nick Shirley's video is around 100, 120 million views at this point. It's gotten, it's become this symbol, I think, for a lot of the right and really the wider America of the downsides of immigration. And it's been getting a lot of attention now from the Trump administration, from DOJ and your own dhs. So how about you tell our listeners what's been going on as a result of that? Absolutely, and thank you for having me. So right now on the ground in Minneapolis, Homeland Security investigators are going door to door to these suspected fraud sites, whether it be daycare centers or health care centers and businesses around them as well, to get more information and to make sure we're following the money here, and we bring arrests and prosecutions and ultimately removals. But if you, you rewind a couple of months. While this is HSI, which is part of ICE on the ground, we've also had an ongoing ICE operation for the past two months, Operation Twin Shields. We've arrested about 500 illegal aliens, many of which are from the Somalian population. But as well, there's been an ongoing USCIS immigration fraud investigation. We've had about 1,000 cases there so far, and about half of which we've found fraud. Yeah, there's this word that has been making the rounds on X and other venues, and that word is denaturalization. And for those who don't know, that would refer to basically removing citizenship from somebody who had gained citizenship before. And America does that very, very rarely. But it's getting brought up, especially in relation to these fraud cases, because if someone was engaging in widespread fraud from when they arrived, that would seem like a valid grounds to say giving you citizenship was a mistake and you should be removed. Has there been any progress on that front? Do you have anything you can tell us there? Yeah. So President Trump, really, since the start of his administration, but then really became a focus following the terrorist attack against the two National Guardsmen. Out of Washington right ahead of Thanksgiving, there was really a focus on auditing. Those who have come into our country, whether they have had become citizens, come in through visas or green cards, particularly for these 19 countries of concern. So that's something that President Trump has made a major focus is these people sure. Did they come in a legal way? We're looking at it. We're looking at do they come under fraudulent circumstances, exploiting the system? Did they lie on their applications? Those are all things that would be grounds for denaturalization. So as far as on this specific Somalian front, I don't have a specific update there. But across the board, this is something that we're really auditing and recognizing the massive amount of fraud and abuse that's happened in our legal immigration system. Trisha, I can hear her now, so I'm good. We've got our routing issues done. Good job, studio. Trisha, thank you for coming on. First of all, there's a, we are seeing this surge of hsi, all the videos coming out, you mentioned it, but there's other states that are now being highlighted as well. Ohio has a huge Somali population. Columbus, I believe, is the second largest population, Washington State. There is, you know, a lot of allegations that California has a lot of rampant fraud as well. Meanwhile, they're trying to raise a billionaire tax, 5% of, you know, the wealth of billionaires to pay for health care. Meanwhile, all this fraud is happening. Can you hint at some of the plans that are going to be outside of the state of Minnesota as well? Is this going to be nationwide? What can you tell us? Yeah, I think you're going to see that Minnesota as a blueprint for what's going to happen nationwide. I'm actually in Columbus, Ohio, as we speak. This is where I'm from. And we see a lot of these similar, a lot of it's copy paste or similar networks as far as the potential and suspected crime and fraud that we are seeing. But I think what you're also going to see, and we've started to see this with the FBI and Homeland Security investigations, but you're going to see a lot more action from the Treasury Department and other facets of the US Government that a lot of people, you know, maybe aren't as familiar with as far as tracking this kind of crime and fraud and abuse, we're going to be seeing more and more of that across not just Minnesota, not just Ohio, but across the country. Great. And one other question here. So go ahead and put up this political article. Trump Admin can share immigrants Medicaid data with ice. A judge has ruled. Tricia, how big of a ruling is this? And what kind of, you know, what are you going to, what do you expect to find here? And why did 21 blue states sue the Trump administration to block them getting this, this information? I was credibly informed that immigrants, illegals do not get, do not get Medicaid. How many times were we told that over and over and over again. I think that this is a very first of all, it's a good sign because we also have similar case with the irs, the Trump administration. I think I was in the first administration and this administration far More that under Trump 45, we are doing much better at sharing information across agencies and that it makes us a lot more efficient so that we can root out this fraud and also identify those who are on the books who are getting Medicaid or other public benefits. And if they're in the country illegally, it helps us to really target these people and remove them from the country. So we also are working on sharing IRS data. But of course, we're told time and time again that this is something that's not happening, this fraud and exploitation isn't occurring. But it is. And I think part of the reason that these states and these politicians are so afraid is it's going to show that they were culpable, that they knew that this fraud was occurring and not only let it occur, but enabled it. Wow, that's, that's a big, a big storyline. We actually had Harmeet Dhillon on yesterday talking about what it would look like to indict a sitting governor, say, Tim Waltz. But I have a feeling that if as we go down this rabbit hole, we're going to find a lot of elected officials, we're culpable and complicit. Trisha McLaughlin, thank you for joining us. I know you've been traveling, so thanks for making the time. We appreciate it. All right, we'll be right back at the Charlie Kirk.

May not be available in all 50 states. All right, Blake, we are going to keep going on this story when we rejoin radio. I think this Medicaid story sharing ice, sharing data with ICE is a huge story. You've got to ask yourself, why did 21 states block sue to block this? Seems like common sense. Seems like a lot of states, probably to Trisha's point, were complicit in this. So I want to explore that. And also Politico is also making some news here with their legal affairs analyst saying that people like Nick Shirley should be met with a stand your ground law in Minnesota, these people visiting daycare. So we'll discuss that and more. And then Nick Shirley is going to be joining the show in the second half of this hour. So you're not going to want to miss that. He's on the ground doing more, more good work. So we are going to get the update from him. We'll be right back. All right. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Blake. A gentleman named Josh Gerstein is making the rounds this morning. Go up and go ahead and throw up.168 so he's the legal affairs reporter or analyst or whatever for Politico. He says at some point the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand your ground laws. And the good folks on X there. Yes. No. Yeah, go ahead and read it. Stand your ground laws remove the duty to retreat from a threat when a person is in a place they have a legal right to be. Knocking on the door of a supposedly public business does not constitute a threat. So stand your ground could not be invoked as a defense. Now, now I have a few thoughts on that and it's pretty remarkable. First of all, it's amazing to see. I've been around for a while. I'm a bit older than a lot of our turning point base. So I of course remember the infamous Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman case. And I think that legitimately drove the left insane on this topic where it's like the joke. They just refused to understand the core concept because they were so angry that George Zimmerman was able to defend himself from a guy bashing his head into the pavement. And now they think stand your ground is a magical thing that lets you just shoot anyone for any reason. And no, it's never worked that way. It's definitely. And I think that Zimmerman case didn't even apply to it as a stand your ground one was normal self defense. So it shows their continuing thing. But the darker thing here that I think is worth highlighting is because what this clearly gets at, and I don't know and Gerstein seems to be manifesting it, but definitely other people are is like the left really does have this dark desire. Whatever the law is, they really want somebody to get shot in the face while doing this. They badly want it to take place. And that's how you end up posting stuff like this. Yeah, I mean think about what this sort of Nick Shirley helps expose. I mean he sort of popularized what was had already been exposed, which is an important piece of any puzzle. So you have to understand that. So I mean, I used to talk about this with Charlie all the time. You know, our job was to sort of popularize things that were important for people to know. There's people doing good reporting out there. It needs to get out there. And sometimes that's the job of shows like this. And that's why we try and highlight good reporting. So good reporting happens. Nick Shirley helps blow the lid on this massive fraud scandal that's plaguing our nation to the tune of billions and billions of dollars in Medicare and Medicaid fraud. And instead of supporting the exposing this, a reporter who is. Let me get this title exactly right, the senior legal affairs reporter for Politico Prior, ABC White House and China correspondent, cnn. So instead of supporting this, he says, oh, when you expose fraud, you should kill these people. You should shoot them. This is insane. This is why the mainstream news media has lost so much standing in the minds of the American population. Absolutely incredible thing to conclude that you're in the business of exposing corruption. If you are a reporter, that is essentially your core job and function. So Nick Shirley exposes corruption and fraud, and this guy suggests that he should be shot in a stand your ground law, which doesn't. And by the way, and you even get it wrong, you're a legal affairs reporter and you get the law wrong. I mean, the whole thing is just absolutely asinine and it's absolutely. It's hard to believe that this is like the state of American journalism. But it's funny, too, because, like, they're speculating this about public businesses and Washington Post reporters will just show up and knock on the door of your house to harass you. A fact I know because Eric Wemple of the Washington Post did that to my house once in 2020. Like, disgusting people. Yeah, it's a pretty remarkable thing to watch happen. But this is why you have to understand how much pushback that President Trump is getting, how much pushback the Trump administration is getting. The fact that Eric Swalwell and Nancy Pelosi are already talking about what they're gonna do to President Trump and his Cabinet if they get power back in the house in 2026, they're already going to impeach him. They're going to investigate, they're going to try and impeach Cabinet members. All this to gum up the works. They know they're not going to be able to remove these people, but they're going to try and make their lives miserable. And that's the whole point. They're going to try and grab headlines. This is why Trump is, you know, the bases. You know, they want results now. They want. They want more indictments, they want more prosecutions. I fully understand that. I sympathize with that. I'm told much more is under underway and in the works. But you have to look at what they are doing, when good people do good work and good journalism, when the administration moves the country in the right direction, when the ship is getting righted as it is right now. Rome wasn't built in a day, but this, this is why they fight him. It's a testament to the Trump administration of just how effective they are. If you just look at how terrible they've been treated, how they are still, how Trump and the administration are still viewed as existential threats to the Democratic Party. More when we get back with Nick Shirley. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and Valpak is here to make it even better.

I'm Bo Davidson in the Real America's Voice newsroom. Here are today's headlines. Russia has accused Ukraine of launching a massive drone strike on President Vladimir Putin's residence, claiming nearly 100 long range drones were intercepted. It Moscow calls the incident state terrorism and says it could harden its position in peace talks, but Ukraine has fiercely denied the claim, with officials calling it false and saying no such attack took place. Ukraine says Russia is using the accusation to justify further military action and undermine diplomatic efforts. There are no independent verifications of the alleged drone attack and no damage or casualties have been reported. Meanwhile, a Utah judge has ordered the release of a redacted transcript and audio from a previously closed October hearing in the high profile case of Tyler Robinson, who was accused of killing Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. The hearing addressed courtroom security, including whether Robinson should be shackled or allowed to wear civilian clothing during proceedings and whether cameras should be permitted inside the courtroom. Judge Tony Graf ruled that Robinson may wear regular clothes but must remain restrained and barred media from broadcasting images of his restraints to avoid prejudicing potential jurors. Robinson, who is facing multiple counts including aggravated murder, and faces the death penalty, attended Monday's hearing by audiolink. A future hearing will address a defense motion to ban cameras in court. Meanwhile, President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida yesterday to discuss the next steps for the ceasefire with Gaza, among other issues. Here was the president speaking at a press conference yesterday urging Hamas to disarm. We talked about Hamas and we talked about disarmament, and they're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm, and we'll see how that works out. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side. But if they don't disarm as, as they agreed to do, they agreed to it, then they'll be held to pay for them. Now, the two leaders attempted to extend a ceasefire that has largely held since last October, while also attempting to have all hostages return. Those are your headlines. We now return to the Charlie Crow. This movement will not be silenced. You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show. All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. We are very fortunate to have the man behind the biggest story in the country for the last couple of days. That is Nick Shirley, independent journalist. He's doing amazing work. Nick, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. And I have to tell you that you and I want our audience to know you were the last live guest on the Charlie Kirk show before the news happened on 9, 10. And so sort of a tragic reminder. But I'm just so pleased to see how well you're, you're doing. And it brings, brings us all joy to see, to see the good work that you're doing in Minneapolis and beyond. Thank you. It's been a crazy past few days as we've been uncovering what could potentially be one of the largest fraud scandals in American history out here in Minnesota. Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, you call it chasing pirates. You, you know, I have to ask you, how did you get turned onto this story in the first place? Nick? Well, I've known about the fraud taking place for a very long time, ever since last June I made my first visit to Minnesota, kind of documenting how what's been happening inside of the state. And then a lot of the locals were telling me about the fraud that was taking place within the daycares. They also have their houses where they're running home health care businesses out of. But I could never, I couldn't dedicate the time to be able to get all the information with everything else I have to do with my YouTube channel. And so I was very fortunate when this man by the name of David reached out to me and me and him were able to collaborate and he was able to go out and get the numbers as he's been looking into this fraud for years now. So it was a joint effort and I'm super happy to be able to amplify his voice and his work that he's been able to do and with my work as well. Yeah. Tell us more about David. Who is he? And, you know, how do people follow him, follow his work as well? I was trying to look around, I didn't see much on him. He's just a local legend, just plain and simple. He's a lifelong local legend in Minnesota and we have to keep him pretty non, you know, I can't say too much about him because people are even recognizing him out in places and I don't want anything to happen to David. So he's just a local legend that cares a lot about his city, wants the best for his city, and is sick of seeing American pirates steal money from hardworking, taxpaying citizens here. Yeah. That's amazing. So, Nick, first question, second question, rather is what has it been like to see the Attorney General of the United States tagging you in posts? The FBI is responding. Did you have any inkling when you were doing this investigation that it had this potential? I knew it had a lot of potential and I'm super happy to see how people are reacting to it now. And it's also very sad to see how people are trying to like, justify the fraud. It's pretty hilarious, actually. But it's actually amazing how the Trump administration, because this is a great opportunity for them to go in and really show people, okay, we're paying attention, like, what do you, what do you make? And it did more than all other mainstream networks in one day. What do you make of this Washington Post reporter? I'm sure you saw this where he, he suggested that you deserve to have someone pull a stand your ground on you because you show up at these businesses. Well, I never tried to go inside of any of the business as I never forced my way into any of the businesses. I simply just asked if I could enroll a child just like a typical operation, like just a typical operation that a parent would go to one of these daycare centers. So I wasn't putting in force or anything. I simply just asking, can I put my son Joey into daycare and they can answer that question. Well, yeah, I think that's. People are noticing the quality leering thing. But I think that is actually probably the best, the best part of the montage for me is when you just ask, ask, can I enroll a child here? And the person immediately responds, why? Yeah. Yeah. So, Nick. Yeah, it's, like, so obvious. And the whole thing with the Quality Learning center, too, it's hilarious because while Somalis were busing in children, the. The commissioner of. I think chat. One of the. The Department of Children or something, she was on a live stream at the same time talking about how they closed the daycare a week ago. So they had the Somalis busing in children trying to cover up. Meanwhile, the lady who's in charge is saying they closed the daycare a week ago. Meanwhile, the video had been filmed more than a week ago. So. And I posted the original video of me outside of the daycare about a week ago, and then I was able to produce the entire documentary when I was at home for Christmas. Nick, you've been pretty loud on your social media about the fact that you think Tim Walsh else needs to be held accountable for this. What in your reporting has led you to believe that the complicity here or culpability goes all the way up to the top in the state of Minnesota? I think $9 billion is a lot of money. And so if the governor is knowing that all this money is going out, I think the governor should know about $9 billion being sent to these welfare programs and these other businesses fraudulently. And then there's nobody at the businesses. Yeah. In these neighborhoods. Nick, you made some comment. I think it was on Fox News where you were saying that this whole racket is kept alive by the fact that these politicians need the Somalian votes at this point. They've become a huge voting block within the state of Minnesota. When you're walking through these neighborhoods on the ground, what percentage of the population does it feel like is Somalian? Are these neighborhoods almost entirely Somalian now? They've kind of moved in. Or is it 50? 50? What's it feel like? Like 95% in certain neighborhoods throughout Minneapolis. Wow. Especially in, like, areas like Cedar Riverside. I mean, a lot of these apartment complexes. I said on Fox, but a lot of these apartment complexes, white people. White people. And anybody who's not Somalian have been pushed out of these apartment complexes because they claim that people are Islamophobic or racist. And they're able to get the landlords to then kick them out because of those claims. And so you have entire apartment complexes that are full of Somali people. They're not even making money. 81% of the population, the Somali population here in Minnesota lives off of welfare. These people have four wives, and they run these daycare companies. I doubt they're paying the wives. And so Then those wives are able to also claim welfare while they're receiving millions of dollars from the government. The huge. It's like a. Like the roots are deep in this fraud. Yeah, I'm gonna play a clip from Tim Waltz here, Nick, and have you respond to it where he's accusing the Trump admin of white supremacy. 120. This is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you. This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit. This is what happens when they scapegoat. And this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy. When you hear the Vice President of the United States talk about now white people won't have to apologize for being white. That's never happened once in my whole damn life. And I think everybody in this room knows what they're doing. So we're here today to say enough of this. We're here today to stand that Minnesota will protect their neighbors. Nick, what do you make of his? Yeah, go ahead. He's in total panic right now. He doesn't know what to do because he knows the fraud's catching up. He's trying to run for reelection. Meanwhile, he's probably trying to decide whether or not he should resign to try not take accountability for what's happening. And then he's going to blame the white man. Like, what's he thinking? It really. Tim Walls always strikes me as he's like a time warp from 2015 or 2017. There's just this type of person and he's that type of person where anything he doesn't like he's just going to instantly shut it down by pointing and screaming racist. And the sad thing is it's Minnesota so it might work. Have you heard anything, have you heard anything from locals in Minnesota who've reached out to you or sent you any interesting stories for follow ups or just interesting anecdotes you think might be good to share? Oh, I've received thousands of messages from people in Minnesota. Everyone's thankful that this fraud is being exposed. Nobody wants their money going to fraudulent businesses like daycares or even having the potential of it to be wired off to Somalia. Our money should stay here inside the United States, especially if it's tax dollars. Yep. Yep. Nick, what are you planning on doing next? Nick, can you give us a hint of what you're doing, what you're currently working on? Are you going to stay on the fraud beat? There's a lot of fraud happening here in Minnesota, so I have a part two coming out Very soon of the fraud because there's a whole nother layer of that that we weren't even able to put into this first video. And so we're working on that as well. Wow. Nick, I hope you're staying safe. We have the URL down there. Black Line Guardian, obviously here on this show, the Charlie Kirk show, we, we take that very seriously. And I, I, please, if you're watching this and you want to support Nick's work, help him with his security, it's really, really important. Blackline guardian fund.com. please, please, please consider giving Nick some backing. He's got to stay safe out there. And now his profile is larger than ever. So Nick, if you want to just mention that and has, has your ability to do your work on the ground, has it changed given just how much your profile has increased? Yeah, it's changed exponentially. So what's that? Black Line Guardian. It's actually really cool because it's just a, essentially a non profit that Officer Tatum set up a while back. And all the funds go directly to me. So like right now I have security with me. And it's because of that and it's essential because people are, I mean, people are doxing. Like me. They're doxing like members of my family. Yep. And so it's like actually very worrisome. Like, like some Indian, Indian newspaper did a whole entire article doxing my family yesterday. I was like, what the heck? Yeah. And I don't put in my family or anything really like that. It's like sad. It's like, are you serious? Well, and I never wanted to have. To have. Yeah, no, as Nick, I can say as somebody who's lived through doxing in the recent months, it's pretty terrible experience. And when the family gets involved, when they, we start targeting family members, it's. It's awful. So again, please stay safe. Nick. We can't wait for part two. I know you gotta run because you're, you're chasing pirates right now. You're on the road. So, you know, God bless you, Stay safe and thanks for making the time coming on the show. Of course. Thank you, guys. Yeah. And you know, thanks for being the last live guest on the show on 9 10, which is, it's pretty creepy, but in some ways fitting seeing the great things that you're doing now. So, you know, the baton is passed to a lot of people and you're one of them, Nick. So Godspeed, my friend. Thank you. We need to carry on the legacy. Yeah, man. God bless you guys. Bye. Bye. See ya, Nick. Shirley. He's out literally right now. We were gonna do video and he calls me and he goes, hey, I can't do it because I'm out not chasing pirates. Can I do a call? You know, we have 25 seconds here and I just want to throw out this point that I think is very important, which it's good for us to expose the fraud that's going on with these daycare and Medicaid things. But also, we just shouldn't do this in the first place with people that we're bringing from the other side of the world. If they need Infinite welfare for Medicaid, for daycare, for everything, they probably just shouldn't be here in the first place. Just deported. Deport will be back. Deport.

Speaking the truth, no one else has the guts to say the Charlie Kirk show all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Blake, we're getting lots of positive emails about Nick Shirley. Yes, I think this guy, a lot of people really like him. We've got, you know what a hero keep on this story we have. Thank you for inviting Nick. This kid in quotes is an American hero, I guess. You know, he probably isn't a kid, Kyrie says. Hey guys, thanks for having Nick Shirley on the show and sharing the way we can help him stay safe. In addition to prayers, of course. So glad he has security. My family has been concerned. We just got a bunch of those. I think we got about 8 to 10 just in the span of that segment. So. So if you guys like a segment, definitely let us know at Freedom and we'll be doing a year in review just up ahead. So if you have thoughts about Charlie and your favorite moments of the past year, of course, before the tragedy, be sure to send those in and we'll give a look at those. Yeah freedom charliekirk.com I want to as we're playing back the year in retrospective, I want to be reading a lot of your emails. So please freedom charliekirk.com freedom charliekirk.com we will be reading those as we go through just a bunch of what we're going to do. So we're going to do a bunch of Charlie's selfie videos. That's basically what we're going to go through the year in. Review from Charlie's pov. So I'm excited to do it. This is going to be our last live show of 2025, and what a year it's been. It's been a terrible year. It's been a tragic year. We've seen miracles. We've seen God's provision in the midst of a terrible, terrible storm. And so. And you guys in the audience have been a huge part of that. Your support. I mean, when we went to Amfest, Blake, I actually didn't get to confer with you on this, but at Amfest, it was. I think I was honest with the audience. I said I wasn't really looking forward to it this year. I was kind of dreading it because it was the first one without Charlie. And then I went in kind of, because I had to, honestly. And you guys gave me so much love and support and encouragement. And I'm sure, Blake, you experienced that too. That proved me wrong. Was huge. And the members podcast room was huge. And those episodes are dropping. So it's been amazing for your support. So please, we want to make you a part of this next hour. One more segment. Hour one. Welcome back. National radio in just a few seconds. All right, welcome back, everybody. Everyone has a perspective, shaped by what they've lived, what they've learned, and what they believe. Charlie always appreciated TikTok because it shares our values of connecting and building community. On TikTok, you can find a teacher discussing math in a way that finally makes it click for a student or a dad sharing a lifetime of knowledge of how to raise kids or do things around the house with his viewers. Gardener. Showing how patience and care can turn a patch of dirt into something alive and extraordinary. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things and showing others how it's done. TikTok is a space where voices can find each other and no voice is too small. And that's the beauty of TikTok. Quiet voices can hold great wisdom. Unexpected voices can make a huge difference. Finding voices and sharing your own, that's what builds community. Because when everyone has a voice, we can all learn something. And when we are all learning, we can all move forward together. On TikTok, you can find voices worth hearing and stories worth sharing. All right, so Blake, I did sort of broach it. I was reflecting on amfest and all the love we got. Did you get, did you get some attention there, Blake? This is new for you a little bit. I would always stop and take photos with people. I think that's, that's a good rule Charlie gave me. If someone wants to take a photo with you, always say yes. I think that's a good principle to follow. I had to wear my, my blue blazer three days in a row, which might have stank a bit by the end, but I only have one. I only have one notable blazer. I'm not going to wear some normal suit. That'd be lame. You know, Blake, I missed a good Christmas present for you. I should have got you a gift card to Macy's so you could go. No, no, you can't have. You can't just buy a copy of the Blazer. That's not gonna get you. That don't work that way. Don't get the same one. I'm just, I'm, you know, I'm suggesting maybe branch out a little bit. We're gonna get your, your glow up going on here soon, Blake. There's a clip here though I want to play. And of course I misplaced it. 134 Tim Wall saying there's organized crime in Minnesota. What did he do about it? Nothing. You got organized crime. What do you. What are you doing? This is the Minnesota law which mandates that anyone who knows of fraud and is a state employee must report that fraud. It's Minnesota Statute 3.971, Subdivision 9. Not only that, but Walz is also guilty of misconduct of a public employee. All right, Blake, you're the contrarian. We had Harmeet Dhillon on yesterday. Everybody is calling for Tim Waltz to either resign or they want an indictment. This stuff takes time. There's no doubt. You gotta build a case that is actually will hold up in court. What as a contrarian. As a little bit of a, you know, pump the brakes on the legal side. What do you think the odds are that we get some actual accountability at the top levels of the Minnesota government? It. Oh, low. Probably they might try it. But I think the one trouble is, I'll be honest is when people just bellow that they want someone arrested sometimes. Let's be, let's be real. Our side sometimes goes off a little half cocked. I think the most important thing is actually getting the fraud itself, which is all these daycares, which is all these facilities. If you were going to get someone at the top, I think the best shot would be Keith Ellison. Keith Ellison is Clearly this sinister figure, he's very clearly a radical. He is dishonest. I mean, he did that whole posing with the Antifa Handbook in 2020. He's a lunatic, I think. And also I just don't think he's that smart. Overall, I think he's probably your best shot if you were going to bring down a major person. But it's going to be tough because in the end a lot of this comes down to a traditional norm. We have have prosecutorial discretion. They knew this was going on and they just chose not to stop it. And the sad thing is there's not that much you can do if someone, if they're not directly benefiting from the crime, they just don't care that it's happening because they like the people committing it. It's just like the police forces who let the rioter, you know, they abandoned a Minneapolis police precinct and let it get burned down. They let rioters just terrorize people. That stuff is morally abhorrent, is completely evil, but it traditionally at least is not something we normally prosecute as a crime, perhaps because it's basically unthinkable. And I guess I would just warn people the best way to make them accountable for this is to make sure we have a good campaign for governor in Minnesota and try to unseat him. And failing that, probably the best thing you can do if you're a Minnesota resident is get out. I know that's a frustrating piece of advice, but it's. If you look at the numbers, Minnesota is a state that it's absolutely bleeding. Anyone who's a taxpayer, anyone who's a functional member of society, the left in Minnesota is going all in on. We should import as many refugees as possible, we should admit as many parasites as possible, and we should wage war on anyone who's functional, who is law abiding, who is a person you would want in your state. And we're seeing the outcomes of that. Yeah, I didn't realize they were having a net outflow of productive citizens. One of the worst. They're like, they're like New York or California in terms of driving out people. No kidding. And that's really sad. Minnesota's historically been a pretty functioning state despite being a left wing state. Yes, it used to be one of the best. We have to admit it. And now they're not.

Are they going to be the answers to your health in 2026? Well, energized health has some scientific solutions, and they may be different and healthier than what you might imagine. Imagine. Let's take a quick look at this video. I am tickled to death. I feel better than I have in years. I went from being on Ozempic for 13 years and having lost all my body strength, my digestive system's working properly again. Things are back to normal. And I can't believe I'm getting my life back. That was my biggest goal when I did the 555. We had a long conversation. You told me that you could help me, and you have. Thank God, brother, that we got connected, because now you're going to live a long, powerful life. I'm finally off of it, and that's what I wanted to do. With me now is the founder of Energized Health, John Jubilee. John, it's always great to be with you. You know, 2025 is coming to an end, and a lot of people are jumping back on extreme diets or even medications like Ozempic to try to lose some weight. Why do so many of these options offer only just temporary results? Well, we have a saying @ energized health, Bo. Look, everything works for a minute. Everything works for a minute. But life is a lot longer than a minute, guys. And you know, all these fad diets and you know ozempic, all the GLP1s, all that stuff is going to work for a minute if all you're looking to do is lose some weight. But weight loss is not even necessarily a healthy thing because, Bo, what most people don't realize, the first 10 pounds they lose is only water. They're losing water. And then when they're on ozempic, the next 10 pounds they lose is all their lean, healthy muscle. So, guys, let's do something different. Let's do something that's actually healthy and sustainable for our whole life, which is let's gain our lean muscle, let's reset our metabolism in a healthy way. You know, strength is your number one factor to longevity and quality of life. And so that's why at energized health, when you're gaining that intercellular hydration, you're gaining your lean muscle, you're having a healthy metabolism. That is a sustainable long term solution to really be healthy, Bo, not just lose weight. Yeah, and you make a great point about what Ozempic does. I mean, it may look good, you may say, oh gosh, all this weight's coming, coming off of me. But practically speaking and physiologically speaking, it sounds like it's not a great solution because you've seen people reverse years of chronic issues and get back their energy, their mobility, their confidence. And that's not from some crash diet or fad drug. But that's science. So why is right now the best time to try this? Because people are obviously in the mindset for 2026 and what they've got to do, health wise. Yeah, it is. Hey, look, we all set New Year's resolutions, so absolutely. Guys, how would you like to do your last? Let this be your last New Year's resolution. Say this year I'm setting a resolution. I am going to get healthy, I'm going to lose my fat, I'm going to gain my muscle and I'm going to do it a scientific way that tens of thousands of people have proven, Bo, this is sustainable. So whether you're in your 30s or you're in your 90s, you know, we have tens of thousands of people that have gained their lean muscle, regenerated their cells, reverse aged guys, this is the way to do it healthy. So if you're going to do something a New Year's resolution, come join us on a five, five five challenge. Because look, just within the first five days, you're going to lose one of these giant fat blobs out of your body. So just imagine how much better you'll feel in a week. Guys, in five days, when that first five pounds is gone, that helps you recalibrate your brain and say, wait a minute, if I could lose five pounds of fat in five days, oh, wait a minute, I could do that every single week. And you're losing fat. You're not losing one drop of water, you're not losing any of your lean muscle, you're gaining your lean muscle. That's why, Bo, this is the time for people to do the right thing and let this be the last program they ever have to do. And January 5th, John, you're going to. That's the big number. Five. January 5th, you're inviting everyone to experience for themselves. Not in 88 days. So what is the 555 challenge? Real quickly. And how can they get started in about 15 seconds? Yeah. So guys, real quickly, just go log on there to my55challenge.com get yourself in the VIP group so that we can FedEx you a scale so you'll know what your hydration is.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. More technical developments over here, hour two. I'm really looking forward to this, Blake. We have a lot to get to because this is Charlie in his own words. And actually, Blake, it was. It was sort of your idea to do this. I think he's you and some of the team, so why don't you set the table for us? Yeah, well, I think it's pretty clear what this year means for all of us. What I guess I, I would just remind people that despite what happened in September, this was a tremendous year. One of the biggest tragedies about losing Charlie when we did is that we lost him at his absolute peak. He really was at the height of his accomplishment, the height of his influence, the height of his impact on the world. And if there's anything positive that came out of of the horrendous thing, the horrendous events of September, it's that that really ensured that his message will be immortal. He will always be as we saw him in 2025. We'll never have to see him get old. We'll never have to see him lose his fastball. We'll never have to see Charlie mess up. Really. He. He's just, he's always going to be Charlie in 2025. And I think the best way to remember him is to look back on those events of 2025 and we just have a whole roster of videos and we encourage everyone to email us Freedom at Charlie Kirk with some of their favorite memories and we'll, we'll try to get to them. But with that in mind, should we just, should we just start rolling through it? Andrew? Yeah, I, I, I love that the first one, first one on our clip sheet here is Greenland. And I will never forget when Charlie was like, hey, I need you to host the show. I was like, okay, sure. What's up? And he's like, I gotta go to Greenland. And I was like, of course, of course you do. And now you gotta put your, Everyone. None of us had any idea it was so secret. It was super secret. And you know, I think Mikey got to go with him. But the, you know. Cause you gotta go with somebody. But the funny thing is Trump's saying hey, we want to buy Greenland or we want to bring Greenland in. And I think they still harbor those desires. But they sent an envoy with it was Sergio Gore. Charlie Kirk, Don Jr and Charlie in true Charlie fashion recorded the memory 157 quite a day here in Greenland. Sergio here at Trump Force One. Don is over here. Friendliest people. They love America and we'll see what happens. Make Greenland great again. And the sun is setting. It's only 2:30 in the afternoon. The sun is setting. It's just one of those things. And it's very, very cold here. And as we kind of reflect on a great time here in Greenland. Greenland more soon. He really liked, he really liked Greenland. He was talking, he would talk about how beautiful it was that you'd find. Yeah. In the fields and when the snow. I think he just liked that raw open space beauty. You know, Charlie and I would disagree about this. He, he really loves, he, he hates high rises. He hated urban masses. So I think he really liked the idea of this place that was the size of, you know, the continent essentially and had 50000 people on it. And I think he, he really liked the limitless possibilities that, that, that implied with it. And you know, he, he remained very attached to that Greenland idea all the way. Loved, he loved the locals there. He actually did. And he, he talked about it. 158 we're here in Greenland with Don Jr. Everyone wants to be on Tick Tock. What do you guys think of America? Great, great. Love America. And you love Trump? Yes, of course. The, the youth of Greenland. A lot of it. Guys. We're hearing a lot of it. And you guys all watch Tick Tock. Right? Right. Thank you. Live From Greenland. This is funny. I actually, you know, we had Don on the podcast and at amfest, so he came and did a private podcast with us, which was phenomenal. But when he was walking out, we talked about the Greenland trip, and it's. Don said it was something he thought he thinks about, you know, pretty often. And there's a. By the way, there's a bunch of that footage that nobody has ever seen before that's going to be coming out, which will be pretty cool. I can't say more than that, but there was a camera crew that captured a lot of footage that has not been released. So then in January, we also had the inauguration Blake. And this was Charlie and Erica at the inauguration ball, hours before Trump would take the oath of office. 159 away from President Donald Trump taking the oath of office. Say hi, Don. What's going on? Got Judge Shanine, Alina, Mr. Sergio, Erica. And as we are here, we're waiting for some people to take the stage. Charlie? Well, the Village People. No idea. I don't know. Let's see what happens. Are they in the village or are they on their way? I gotta go figure out what's going on. Let me go check. That was. That was so funny, man. I remember that. That was all highly memorable. But. But I think for Charlie, his favorite moment. He enjoyed the ball, he enjoyed the festivities, but he did speak repeatedly that it was very meaningful to him. Remember, it was the inauguration. A lot of people were planning to go. It was going to be a big outside event. And then it was a deep freeze. It was five degrees or something like that. It was very bitterly cold. So they moved it indoors into the rotunda. They didn't want anyone having their nose freeze off while waiting to see the President. I think that was probably the right move. And it really speaks to the esteem the President had for Charlie and what he did to help bring about his victory. That with so many congressmen, such a limited number of people able to fit into that rotunda, it's not that big of a room that they did give a seat to Charlie and Erica. And so we have a clip of that. Let's play 160. I remember that well because there was a big brouhaha afterwards from some of the Democrat congressmen that were upset that Charlie got a closer seat to the president than they did. And I think there was. I think there was some upset from Republican Congress. No, I remember it. Yes, it was hilarious. And it was like, who was it? It was Senator. Oh, gosh, I'm Blanking on it. Senators swooped in to defend Charlie, put it that way, and they basically said, well, when you do as much to elect a president as Charlie Kirk, then maybe you can get a better seat. It was like. Exactly. But, you know, just the inauguration, too. I want to pause there. That ball that we had, that Turning Point hosted, it was absolutely swamped with people. I was told it was the hottest ticket in town. Everybody wanted to get to that. That ball. It was one of the hottest rooms in town when you have that many people. I sweated a bit. Yeah, it was. It was something we've never done. We. We ended up having a total meltdown in the coat room. I'll never forget at the end of the night when everybody was. Was trying to finally go home, I ended up running into the coat room trying to find coats, and all our staff went in because the hotel staff got completely swamped and whatever their filing system, it was terrible. So we were actually, like, escorting guests back into the room, saying, what does your coat look like? It was a total nightmare. But the fact that Turning Point got to host a ball and the vice president came, which is, by the way, why Charlie was checking on the Village People, because we had to hold the Village People off so long because Vice President Vance, you know, on those nights, gets delayed because he's got to do a few different stops. So he was delayed getting to the ball, so we delayed the Village People going up. And that was a whole thing behind the scenes as well. I mean, it's all the memories, Blake. It's. It's hard to. It's hard to fully appreciate it. But here we mentioned JD Van. So let's play a TikTok of JD and Charlie flying on Air Force Two. That would be 161. Just got a ride from our amazing vice president. Say hi, J.D. hey, guys. When you get elected vice president, they give you this sweet jacket, so it was all worth it. But we're having fun in D.C. stay safe out there. And this plane. Thanks, man. Thanks, everyone. That is a sweet jacket. I should become vice president. That's next step for you like that. We. We'll get to work that in 2026. And I will say Charlie was actually J.D. vance's first guest on Air Force Two, which was pretty special. We'll be right back.

I can't say enough good things. Blake, you have an email about Charlie's beloved bears. Yeah, yeah. Before we continued, I just thought. Michael sent us an email and he said he watches the show every day. He misses Charlie like a lost friend and he wanted to mention something that we don't touch on. And there's a reason I Don't touch on this. He says Chicago. Charlie was a big Chicago Bears Bears fan. And he notes, I remember just before Charlie's murder, Charlie was on air lamenting his beloved Bears performance. And that's right, the Bears, they had a bad start to this season. Charlie was optimistic with their new coach. He thought they'd be better. But they looked, they looked like the same old Bears. And Michael is right. The Bears have since then gone on quite the streak. They have won the NFC North. They beat during AM fest. I avoided events to go watch the packers play the Bears and they choked in catastrophic fashion. All right, so Bears are going to the playoffs. They are. They are back on radio. We're back with radio. Miss a little, little handoff there, but that's fine. National radio. We are. We are bragging on the Bears. Blake is bragging on the Bears. He loves the Bears. He's not a Packers fan. It's fine. Yes. Yes. So Charlie loved his Bears. They usually disappointed him. So he didn't talk about it that much. He was kind of a what have you done for me lately guy in terms of praising them on air. But yeah, the Bears have got some big wins. I agree. The Bears are doing great. Charlie did not like. Charlie's dunking on me from heaven. Yes. Joke now. And his, his Ducks are doing well too. So we're going to keep an eye on that. We'll keep mentioning minute. Let's get some more clips here. This was. Charlie was a huge fan of Elon Musk. He just genuinely was. He loved Elon Musk as an entrepreneur that he built physical things. He was very excited that Elon was in the administration and help working on Doge. So much so that he had us make Doge shirts at the Charlie Kirk show. And the much talked about Doge at Turning Point which people have taken to mean so many crazy things. Things. But it was just. Charlie just loved Elon Musk and he respected him. And they talked for hours. They had dinners together after the election, after Trump won. Got to know him personally and that was a great, a great joy for him. 164 he shows off the MAGA red Tesla at the White House.164 the President has a new car. Look at that beautiful red MAGA Tesla. It's beautiful. Everybody support Elon Musk. We won't put up with the domestic terrorism. That's the President's new car. What do you guys think? Drop a comment of the red mega Tesla. And Blake, we've told. We said it before on the show. But when Musk and President Trump had that falling out Charlie made, he called his shot and he said, by the by Christmas, they will be having dinner. And it was actually ahead of he did. And there were a lot of people, there was a lot of temptation to really. Some people were really beating up on Musk when that was reaching its peak. And Charlie was emphatic. He said, one, I'm not going. He first he said, I'm just not going to do it because I am grateful to Elon for what he did. He said, this is right after I started working with you guys. He said Musk bought X or bought Twitter. And he said, this is the most important purchase by a private person in American history. He just said it. And I thought that sounds wacky, but. But he was correct. It was hugely important. Not just the election, but for American society, for free speech worldwide. It really set the tone that the era of cancel culture, the era of censorship is not going to win out. And he was very grateful for that. And he was. I know he was privately messaging Elon about that, just saying, you know, whatever goes on, I'm grateful for that. And he was very optimistic that the President and Elon would reconcile and continue to work together. And we've seen evidence that that's the case. Just in the past week, Elon has really been pushing this Somali fraud story. And I think Charlie's willingness to repair that relationship played a big role in that. Well, and I will say that at the memorial, I posted a picture that kind of went viral of Elon and Trump up in the press box watching the memorial play out. And I said, I hope they're saying to one another for Charlie. And about an hour later, Elon posted that same image, basically one that was a little more flattering of him, which is fair, that. And he said for Charlie. And it was so. It was a. It was a really beautiful moment. I want to play this next clip. This is 166Ck at BLM Plaza. It's being torn apart in D.C. this was a very full circle moment for the show. For Charlie, we. The Charlie Kirk show really blew up up in size and audience numbers during blm. And Charlie just went off on it. I remember he called me and he said, I'm going to go hard. I feel like I need to go hard. This. This needs to stop. And I said, I'm 100% behind you. Whatever happens, happens. Like, this needs to stop. Let's do it. And you fast forward to March of 2025, and BLM Plaza is getting dismantled in Washington D.C. with a new president and new leadership ship. And Charlie was right there to watch it. 166 hey everybody. Live from Black Lives Matter Plaza. Well, it's not called that anymore. As you can see the working crews are out and it is the end of this mass race hysteria happening in our country. This right here, by the way, that was the church they tried to burn down. You remember the cruiser out here removing this two block long mural of Black Lives Matter Plaza out here in the streets of Washington D.C. it is quite the effort. They have to actually get down to the street itself to get rid of all of the nonsense here. Make America great again. Getting rid of BLM Plaza. I love that he said ending race hysteria because Charlie unfairly gets labeled as a racist as we sort of all do. But really what he was raging against and this was one of his central themes was this, this weaponization of racial grievances that was tearing the country apart. Still is in some ways, but certainly made huge strides. And the election of Donald Trump was a, it was a full circle moment that I will never forget. And Charlie recognized it for what it was and he celebrated it it because Charlie was not a doomer. He was optimistic about the future of this country. More memorable moments in Charlie's own words coming up next. It's the most wonderful time of the year and Valpak is here to make it even better.

News Headlines Two more performers are canceling upcoming appearances at the Kennedy Center. A jazz band called the Cookers were slated to perform tomorrow night night but cancelled their appearance. The band did not specifically say why, but their statement hinted at politics being the reason. Also, Christy Lee cancelled her performance scheduled for January 14th and said losing integrity would cost more than losing a paycheck. This comes after Chuck Red cancelled his Christmas Eve concert at the Kennedy Center. Meanwhile, Minnesota governor Tim Walz is facing growing pressure as he pushes back against a wave of fraud allegations. Allegations that exploded after a mega viral video appeared to expose empty or shuttered daycare and learning centers receiving millions in taxpayer funds. The 43 minute video, posted by independent journalist Nick Shirley, has now surpassed 100 million views. Shirley documented multiple facilities around Minneapolis that appeared vacant or unwilling to engage, including one center with a misspelled sign reading Quality Luring center, allegedly listed as serving nearly 100 children while receiving around $4 million in state funding. In response, Walz's office says the governor has been working for years to crack down on fraud, but the numbers simply don't add up. And in other news, a new report by the Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed billions of dollars in taxpayer funds that went to questionable rental assistance recipients under the Biden administration. The New York Post obtained records from HUD's Agency Financial Report that detailed 30,000 recipients that were deceased and thousands of potential non citizens, largely in New York, California and Washington, D.C. hUD Secretary Scott Turner commented that a massive abuse of taxpayer dollars not only occurred under President President Biden's watch, but was effectively incentivized by his administration's failure to implement strong financial controls, resulting in billions worth of potential improper payments. Meanwhile, President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida yesterday to discuss the next steps for the ceasefire with Gaza. Among other issues, the President spoke at a press conference yesterday urging Hamas to disarm. Those are your headlines. We now return to the chart. The next great awakening is here. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. All right. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I want to tell you about Hillsdale. Hillsdale College, great place. I'm just finding the, the right copy here. History, economics, the great works of literature. Did you study these things in school? Probably not. Or even if, even if you did, maybe it's time for an enjoyable refresher. Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses, including their newest course on totalitarian novels. By the way, Blake, we need to get Dr. Azrad back on the show. He had this great 100%. We just had a Hillsdale guy. We were meeting with him the other day and we're definitely. Yeah, Peter. No, Azrad's great. He had this great question. He had this great write up about the JQ, which is for those unaffiliated is the Jewish question. Dr. Azrad is Jewish. So he goes into all the, all the conspiratorial thing. It's very fascinating read. I wanna get him on for a long form on that but in other news, newest course from Hillsdale called All out totalitarian novels. It's a free eight lecture course course topped by President Dr. Larry Arne as he goes in depth on four novels. 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon and that Hideous Strength. Yours is the one you haven't read, right, Blake? Is that Hideous Strength? Yeah, I started reading it actually about 80 pages in. Oh, wow. There you go. Even though these novels written in the 1930s and 40s, they are highly relevant today because they show us what a tyrannical government does to human nature and they show us that faith, family, friends and this country are worth fighting for for. Maybe you read these books long ago in school. Maybe you've heard others talk about them and they seem a little intimidating. Let Hillsdale College help you make the most of them. Go right now to charlie for hillsdale.com to enroll. That's charlie for hillsdale.comto enroll. No cost, easy to get started. Charlie for hillsdale.com to register. C-H-A-R L I E for hillsdale.com all right, the next piece we, we were talking about Bill Maher. So let's skip ahead a little bit. April CK shocks Bill Maher when he says he doesn't drink alcohol. Bill maher was shocked. 174. Drink? No, I'm good, thank you. You don't drink? No. Or smoke pot? No. And you're married and super Christian. We're going to go on great. This is going to just be perfect. And they did get on great. They did get on great. I thought. Yeah, I got a great note from Bill Worth saying after Charlie was assassinated, just saying how much he genuinely enjoyed his time with Charlie and their conversation and how horrible he thought it was. And you know, I thought that was a pretty nice thing for him to reach out. So, you know. But it was a memorable visit. It was a memorable visit driving into LA with Charlie, him getting hot boxed, him being so paranoid thinking he did a terrible job. And then for that episode to be one of I think it was was if not the top most watched episodes very well. It did very well. Top three all time of Bill Maher's club random podcast. So good for good for Charlie there we. We gotta play this one here. This is from March. So back one it was Ashton hall viral morning routine. You guys did this on thought crime. I was not there because I probably would have asked this and I would have ruined a really memorable moment with Charlie. So I'm glad I wasn't there. There 173. He's defiant. You'll never be a top influencer now. You will never. You will never make it now. Is this really what he did? What is. What is the health property of this? It's really funny, this guy. One more time. I mean, it has to be like ice bath type thing, right? Is that supposed to, like, tight? You know, Charlie was a good sport. Yeah, it was a good sport. He. I'm surprised he was so skeptical of it. I feel like Charlie could have totally gotten into rubbing banana on your face. He'd be like, blake, I have to rub a banana on my face every morning. It gives me so much vitality, gives me glow. Yeah, he had his own. His own health stuff. The woo Woo, as I would call it. You were always so hard on him about the woo woo. The Charlie woo Woo stuff. Charlie loved Maha. He was all into it. And Blake was just like, wasn't there that. There was an Atlantic article that called it the woo Woo. And you were like, it's right. It's right. It is woo. Charlie was like, oh, Blake, good times. I miss. I miss the you, you. And Charlie's back and forth. So let's go to. Back to April when the Bill Maher podcast happened. This is one of the more memorable tour stops at A and M. The night crowd. He loved. Loved his visit to a M.170. I love the way that video finishes off. He throws the hats and. And he does the. He does the. What is he like this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does. There's. Whatever. The A and M has a lot of traditions. What I loved about that, it was so last minute that they even did that. I think he only said, make sure you play their fight song. I think literally in. Just as we arrived at the building, just before he went out, someone told him he should do that. He would like the reaction. And boy, boy, did that ever get the right reaction. Yep. Well, and here's an April at a. Prove me wrong. What is a woman? This. These. These. Charlie. Charlie spun them up with a mental conundrum, a mental cul de sac that they couldn't get out of. And he loved this. Question 175. Can you tell me what a woman is? Are you a woman? You want to answer question? Yes, I am a woman. Okay. Why are you Great. What is a woman? What is a woman? Yes. A person who was born with X chromosome. I agree. Hey. I agree. We have won the culture war. We have done it. Or this is not the way you think. You gotta train them Better. A woman is a person with XX chromosomes. I declare a victory in the culture. Can I please explain what I'm trying to say? Thank you. Oh, there's more. Can I please explain? Oh, you can explain. I think, I think your statement is rather self evident. Listen, that is not to exclude trans women. Oh, got it. It. Charlie loved the prove me wrongs man. He just loved them. And he loved, he loved the viral moments. He loved getting out and mixing up with students and he learned a ton interacting with them and it was really a secret sauce. And you know, Blake, you know as, as well as anybody how excited Charlie was to get back out on tour. And it's terrible that it ended the way it did. But, but you know, we've said it before. He died with his boots on. And he loved being out with the students and that, that I think that clip really demonstrates just, just how much, how much he did. Go ahead, Blake. Yeah, well, I just. Yeah, he, he died with his boots on. He died doing exactly what he loved doing. He looked forward to them all the time. I don't think he, I don't think he really would have wanted to go any other way if, you know, as, as Erica said at the memorial, it's like he just, he was doing what he loved and then he blinked and he was in paradise. That is. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, exactly. Here's another tough video for me to watch. This is in May. CK and Erica's anniversary advice after four years of marriage. 163. Hello. Tick tock. Today's a very special day. It is our four year anniversary. Four years married to my best friend. What's, what's your piece of advice after four years for all the Tick Tock people? Oh my goodness. Love your husband. Well. And get married. Yes. Just get off your couch, stop watching all that terrible stuff and go get married. Yes, that's right. And go on that adventure. It's the best thing ever. And go get married. It's amazing. To the right person. Happier than ever. God bless you guys. Man, they, they really did have a, an amazing love story. And it's very evident when you watch the clips. It's very evident when you watch them. And we, we just can't say enough good things about Erica as well. She's, she's obviously had, had a terrible go of it and a terrible year and she's been so courageous and she's been leaning into the Lord and leaning into her faith and a total. A model, an exemplary model for, for women all across the country in May. Blake, you're a Catholic. We found out that there was a new Pope from Chicago. That was a big. A big plot twist, I will say. Yeah, we remember. I remember doing the. When the. When the white smoke came out, we. We had to switch the whole show and we started calling all our friends who were at the Vatican and in Italy and we had a fun show, trying to assess what it all meant and who it was. And then we found out it was an American 169. Hey, everybody. There is a new Pope and the Pope is from Chicago. What do we actually know about this new Pope? Well, the Pope is from Chicago. I am as well. You served in Peru, by the way. I'm not Catholic, by the way. I'm evangelical. But it still matters. Who the Pope is. Is. He is a registered Republican and voted in Republican primaries and ran a pro life group at Villanova University. So that's a good sign. There's a lot yet to learn about this Pope, but I hope that he will be a strong advocate for strong borders and for sovereignty. The first ever American Pope. You gotta wonder why is it that they picked an American Pope? Could be coincidence. Could be nothing. Or is it they want a voice that is also for the opening of American borders While we have President Trump? Who knows? Who knows? Yeah, Maybe he. Maybe he's lucky he wasn't. He hasn't seen the latest stuff from the Pope. He said some frustrating things. It would have been a combative relationship, to say the least. The ice ball. The ice ball is really still the peak of weirdness from the Pope. Not even close. The absolute peak. Weirdness has to be Pachamama. Although I guess that was a different Pope, but. Well, no, this is. Yeah, I'm talking about this current Pope. Let's play a longer clip while we still have the time. 177. This is @ Cambridge. But America. First. Haven't you and your ilk sold America out? Second, someone actually tells you what you're doing. Would you just read? Can you calm down a little bit? Like a little bit pound in the table. You're all over the place. No. You want me to go piece by piece or would you like me to talk slower? Donald Trump is convening a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Joe Biden gave them. Well, isn't it. Can. Can. Well, can you not interrupt me? I allowed you to talk uninterrupted. He is convening a peace deal between Russia, Ukraine. I believe we will see an end to that War. Number two. He's actually talking to Iran and discouraging Israel to strike the interior of Iran and has stopped many other international countries to do the same. And it's a lot better than when your prime minister, Boris Johnson went alongside our Secretary of State Tony Blinken to Istanbul and unnecessarily blew up a potential Russian peace deal. Deal which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians. One of the great unnecessary wars of the modern era. Donald Trump believes in conversation and police through strength. He has been president for well over 120 to 130 days, and he has already ended a war between two nuclear conflicts of India, Pakistan. He has secured our own U.S. southern border while we were being invaded by foreign powers. And thirdly, he is brokering a potential settlement with Iran that will prevent a major escalation in the Middle East. East. And finally, it is very difficult, but I believe they'll get it done, that we'll finally see an end to the Russian Ukrainian war. We are still hoping for that end to that Russian Ukrainian war, but more progress is made. Zelensky was just at Mar a Lago. We'll be right back. All right. Welcome back. Guess we are. We've got all these. We got a bunch of fun clips in June. He just was all over the place. A lot of these are short, pretty funny emails. Blake, any emails? Oh, we've got a good number. We have several good emails. I just. Let's see. I'd like to flag this one. Tim and Judy, they sent us a message and they said, Charlie, he was an amazing young man. And we are all Charlie Kirk. They say they lost their son this year. They will be happy for 2025 to be in the rearview mirror. But the number of people Charlie touched is unbelievable. It was refreshing to hear and see how clear a vision he had for this country. Turning Point must continue to be an active force with our young people. President Reagan said we were a generation away from losing our republic, but I think in 2024, we were much closer than that. Charlie is looking down from heaven and watching what is taking place in our country. God bless this great human being. Thank you very much for that one. You kind of do. You know, I said it at the memorial. I've said it again, and I'll say it again and again, that we don't grieve the way the world grieves. We. We are obviously devastated at losing our personal friend and brother in arms and a leader of the movement, an icon of our country. All of that will never go away. But you do sort of look at his life. And it has this poetic nature to it that it does. He set about to save a generation from an ideology that would wreck them and ruin the country. And he lived to see it. He lived to see the youth vote come the way of Donald Trump put him in the White House. He lived to see young people flocking back to church and to mass. And he got to play such a huge part in that struggle and then he was taken from us. But it's almost like you could look at it a certain way, like his mission was accomplished. He accomplished what God put him on this planet to do. And he did it so fast and with such gusto and with such charisma. Charisma. And yeah, we got another one here, Kim. Charlie was so right on. And he shared on. He was so right on all that he shared. And he will never be forgotten. I am so thankful for all he did for us. Thank you, Kim. Thank you. Just a lot. A lot of emails from people. Thank you very much. We love, we love seeing those messages of support. I. We love seeing all the people that Charlie touched that he impacted and especially getting them in these months after what happened. To see the continuing impact of his life on people. It's, it's a great testament and legacy of his. This is a funny video, Blake. The, the statue in New York. Remember this 150. Streets will make you feel brand new. So that's all because there's that statue of an, say, an angry, A large. An angry black woman there. And so the reason we had the smoke detector. Chirps. We have. We don't need to go. We have the receipts. We shouldn't all. We don't need to go into it. This is 155 CK at Rockefeller during the Pride Week week. 155. You are a conquered country. That is Rockefeller center, not American flags. Someone's doing the conquering. He was very happy about getting. That was one of the subtle things. The State Department had that order right up when the Trump admin came in. No more Pride flags. No more trans flags. This is. The American flag is actually what we fly from our embassies. Not conquering foreign power. It's an important. It's not even a foreign power. It's an insidious domestic one and foreign. But we're going to welcome back radio. Stay right there. More Charlie Kirk in his own words. All right, welcome back. We're still in June. Let's go ahead and play a cut of Charlie on Juneteenth. One of his favorite topics to rail against Juneteenth. 165. Okay, everybody. A lot of people are gonna be saying, happy Juneteenth. It should not be a federal holiday. And I'm on my way to work. Have a good day. Charlie hated Juneteenth. Thought it was an intentional distraction from July 4th. He didn't want competing. Competing Independence Days. It was a Texas holiday that we turn into a national thing. Yeah, they called it Juneteenth National Independence Day. They wanted to replace the fourth of July. That's the only reason they would call it something like that here is Charlie finds out he's at the same restaurant as Doug Emhoff. What a beta. 172. What a beta. Yeah, that was Kamala's. Kamala's bow Or. Or something. We have a few. Let's. Let's skip ahead here because we're running out of time. And I want to really. Because this was such a peak to Charlie. He was so excited for this. All of us were so excited to see it. In August, when we learned he was going to be on the latest episode of south park, we. We had all of the. We had our own fan art ready to go. We had the memes ready to go. And we had to explain to Charlie whether it was still a good and honorable thing to be on South Park. And he had a great reaction to it. Let's play 152. Okay, everybody, the south park episode just dropped. And honestly, it is hilarious. I mean, part of it is kind of like whatever, typical humor, but it was hilarious. Just watch this little snippet of our prove me wrongs, our viral cultural domination on prime time on Comedy Central. So important, so impactful that south park is highlighting. Watch it. I'm sick of people stealing my stick. Dick. If anyone around here is gonna be a master debater, it's me. So let's go. Who wants to debate the master debater? Let's go. You right there. That's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen you around. Living Kids317 says it's now be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings. So you can shut up, baby. You just hate American. You love abortions. Not only that, but Jeremiah 1:5, I made you in the womb. South park gets this right. In fact, I think they've been watching a lot of Charlie Kirk videos. Watch. Oh, my God. What makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body? Let me ask you something. If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies too, why is the killer charged with a double homicide. Because people have different beliefs. It's not about belief, it's about truth. Science confirms life begins at conception. So, yes, Jeremiah 1:5 says, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. But it's just morality that demands we protect the most vulnerable. And we got our own award show as part the of of South Park. I was told going in, Charlie, if they say your name, that's a big win. Well, apparently there's the Charlie Kirk Awards. Hello, and welcome to the third annual Charlie Kirk Award for young master debaters. More and more young people today are learning to fight for America through master debation. We're here to honor the recent efforts of a brave young man who has been furiously mastur debating for the past several days. Now, there's gonna be a lot said about this, but we need to have a good spirit about being made fun of. This is all a success. This is all a win. We, as conservatives, we have thick skin, not thin skin. And you can make fun of us. It doesn't matter. And until next time, I hope all of you also become master debaters for truth. It was a good video. It was. It was so much fun. And by the way, I'm so glad we got that. By the way. We. We at amfest, we had Charlie Kirk courage awards awarded to students. So it was kind of a weird, weird full circle moment there. Blake, we got to get to this one. You were with them in Asia. 178. Okay, everybody, I'm here in Seoul, South Korea. As you can see, everyone, they have these, like, inflatable, cushy chairs. Everyone is reading. This would last about 35 seconds in most American cities. You can have nights. You can have nice stuff. Crime is a choice. We shouldn't put up with it. South Korea doesn't. We shouldn't either. And Blake, we have to end with this. This one's going to be hard, but we got to do it. This is the last tick tock he ever did tick tock@UVU. 152 million views on this. 162. That's a lot of people. You. Going to be here for a couple hours. Get comfortable. Bring the best libs that Utah has to offer. He was a great man. Glad we did this. We miss him. We do. Till next year. Year. God bless you all. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
