This terrorist regime began 47 years ago by literally taking us hostages. And then here they are 47 years later, slaughtering their own people in the streets and then holding the entire world hostage economically by threatening to close the strait. And of course, President Trump has made it very clear the consequences if they try to do that. And there's a lot of options. That is what the President is going to highlight. For example, all egg prices over the past 12 months down 42%, butter prices down. Also men's suits prices coming down. But all meats on the other side of this up 8.6% year over year. Coffee prices are up about 18% in that time. Women dresses are also up. Now this report, a very good one. The Federal Reserve, however, puts more weight in the PC Inflation Report, which shows inflation closer to 3%. So last month the St. Louis Federal Reserve president defended their favored measure for me, and I mean is inflation increasing or decreasing, which is. So our target is based on PC inflation. The government shutdown led to some estimates to CPI that may have biased CPI downward and that bias may be with us all the way until April, just how things are calculated. So I'm focused on what we target, which is PC. So inflation. All linked to oil prices for the Trump administration now. Tanker shipments through the Strait of Hormuz almost zero now in response today, the International Energy Agency will make the largest emergency release of oil oil in history from 32 countries. Reserves 400 million barrels just announced about 10 minutes ago. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says Iran targeting oil refineries in neighboring countries to push up prices shows desperation. Well, certainly these are the kinds of moments that these reserves are used for because what we have here is not a shortage of energy in the world. We've got a transit problem which is temporary. And when you have a temporary transit problem that we're resolving, building militarily and diplomatically, which we can resolve and will resolve, this is the perfect time to think about releasing some of those to take some pressure off of the global price. But again, as you've seen, President Trump's leadership itself is helping to keep prices down all over the world right now.

Charlie Kirk
Expected expected year over year.
- [04:43]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
A gain of 2.4%. That's the annual rate again year over year as expected. That's also the previous number we got for January. CPI Core 2.10 of a percent to the upside, as expected. 2 1/2%.

Charlie Kirk
Year over year as expected.

Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Energy prices coming in. A component of this up 0.6%. 6, 10 of a percent. That was month to month food prices 4. 10 of a percent. The energy index again, gasoline only going up 8. 10 of a percent. New vehicles was flat.

We saw the same story in January. Remember these are backward looking numbers before

Year over year numbers and zero progress but not losing any ground. It remains a 2.4 on year over year headline 2.44 really is to find a lower number, you're going back to April of last year at 2.3. To find a higher number here at December of last year, 2.7. Just to give you some context there. Now, in my opinion, the most important number year over year core remains at 2.5%.
- [05:56]
Blake
You guys are responsible for the fact that his gas is over $7 a gallon. What do you say to him? Well, wow, that is something coming from California. Because of course, under Gavin Newsom, the California used to have 40 refineries, now they have eight. Two more are closing. They're going to be down to six with Chevron and Valero closing. California is the most energy dependent state in America. 63% of their oil gets imported. Now they're going to be importing refined product into San Francisco Bay and into Long beach every day just to keep their fleet. They have the largest number of internal coal combustion cars in America in California, and more than any other state even has vehicles. And of course, they've been trying to eliminate those and doing that, which then puts us dependent on China. I mean, their, their, their energy policies are as crazy as Europe. And part of the reason why their prices are so high is they've restricted supply and killed their own economy.

Well, we got a lot to get to today. Massive busy show. Blake and I Have been here since the wee hours of the dawn. So excited to finally get into it. Gotta hit this big story. As many of you know, my personal, most important issue is deportations, immigration in general. We call it the one switch you can flip that will fix all that ails you. Many of the nation's problems, maybe not all, but many of the nation's problems originate from a failed immigration system flooding the country with people that don't share our values, that, you know, end up becoming public charges that fill our streets, our DMVs, our hospitals, our schools. And one of the central planks of President Trump's reelection bid was mass deportations.
- [09:17]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
It was at the rnc they had the signs, I think mass deportations, mass deportations.
- [09:20]
Charlie Kirk
And you could always get the sense that there was a little bit of a messaging bifurcation inside the administration. There was the get the worst first guys. There was, they all need to go guys. I am in all they all need to go guy. I believe Blake would be all they
- [09:36]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
got 100%, Charlie very much. I mean, he would talk about the 10, 10 million people.
- [09:41]
Charlie Kirk
And it's remarkable. In the early days of the administration, they would poll different things. You know, the press was trying to undermine the president and they were trying to poll mass deportations. But consistently, mass deportations would poll very favorably. However, fast forward to right now. You have Alex Preddy, Renee Goode, were two American citizens that were killed in their altercations with ICE agents that ended up dragging down some of the polling. Certainly it got spun in the news media very successfully by the left. So there's no doubt that there has been consternation and conflict.
- [10:17]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
I think that's predictable. It's large scale deportations are just one of those things that inevitably creates its own opposition. You get the photos of crying kids, this kid's crying. So I guess we can't have borders or laws anymore. And so what's happening today that we wanted to highlight? This came out just at the end of the show yesterday. Axios had one of their exclusives and it's that reportedly White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair has been urging House Republicans to basically stop saying the phrase mass deportations. Pivot the messaging to we're getting rid of violent criminals, we're getting rid of the worst of the worst. And they also cite there's a Politico poll that says about half the country thinks mass deportations is too aggressive. That includes about 20% of Trump 20, 24 voters. And we wanted to highlight that because I think you and I and Charlie would have the same perspective, which is above all, we just, we care about success. We don't necessarily care about messaging. So we think if it makes sense for the administration to pivot to, oh, we're getting rid of the worst of the worst, go ahead and do it. What matters is reality. And so we, I guess our caution to the administration would be don't let a pivot on messaging turn into a pivot away from policy. Securing the border, deportations, immigration security generally, because a lot of it has been a huge success. You can go through the numbers like we've doubled the number of ICE arrests overall. There's the new fee on H1BS. There is the what, 33% drop roughly in foreign students visas. They've greatly enhanced putting Americans first. There's been a not having us endlessly be the dumping ground of the third world.
- [12:01]
Charlie Kirk
There's been a full on ban of some visas being issued to certain Muslim countries and other countries that fail to vet their population properly. And let's just go into the numbers on the polls though here. According to the latest poll on deportation, 64% of Maga says that Trump's deportation approach is just right. 47% of non MAGA. Republicans think the same with 21% of MAGA and 17% of non MAGA say that it is too aggressive or is not aggressive enough. Apologies. So, so here's, here's the caution and I agree with Blake. You want commas, not drama, right? You want millions of people removed from this country. You want it to be done quietly, you want it to be done efficiently. You want it to be done with no drama. This was the problem with Minneapolis. And I will, I will say you saw this from certain commentators like Joe Rogan, who ended up endorsing President Trump, saying that the immigration approach he thought was cruel, he thought it was cold, he thought some of the memes from DHS were too aggress, they were too performative. All of those things could be true. But again, keep the drama behind the scenes. Get the job done with technical precision, with professionalism. Do it without headlines. And that is the key because we always knew. I want you to take your mind back to Trump 1.0 with AOC at the border crying in her all white outfit about kids in cages. Well, the kids in cages were started under Obama as soon as Biden took over and there was, you know, 300, 350,000 migrant kids missing in the interior, there was zero tears from aoc. We know this is performative. We know that they do this to gin up sob stories and to turn the population against the president's agenda. My warning is this. There is no single tactic, no single policy plank of the Trump administration that is as popular as deportations as immigration itself. The issue is the border got cleared up really quickly. Right. And we even saw from the Fabrizio polling that people don't. It doesn't move the needle to talk about a secured border, but it's incredibly important in the second that border stops being secure, it will become a massive issue again.
- [14:14]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
And that's more to the point is okay whether it's popular or not, actually executing on mass deportations, it above all, it matters because it is of existential importance to the correct if you want to see your future. Just yesterday, the United Kingdom has moved to take famous Brits off the money. They're going to take Winston Churchill off the money, Jane Austen off the money, and replace them with nature scenes. And a clear reason they're doing this is they've brought in so much replacement level immigration, they basically have to abolish their own history. They, too many great Brits are white Christians and that's, you know, they're offensive to Muslims who've come to the country to, you know, oh, they, they helped colonize India. They have a lot of Indians in the country. Like, it's basically, they have to destroy their own legacy. They have to wage war on themselves. And the mass replacement level immigration into America was the left's way of waging war on this country. They're bringing in people hostile to American history, American values, American religion, and also people who are going to be a drag on the American state. They're bringing in dependents. They're bringing in, frankly, some of them are essentially parasites on America. And that's all deliberate on their part. They want to bring in people who will immediately go on the dole, who will immediately cause problems. And you need to undo that or it will destroy America. So if you need to say we're focusing on the worst of the worst, but we're still sending letters to the businesses that say you're employing people illegally under the table, this is a great go for it. They're doing that right now.
- [15:45]
Charlie Kirk
Keep doing it. There are ways in which you can message effectively that you can actually prosecute the case effectively, that will be more in terms of total numbers of deportations than doing raids out on the street. Right. Because what we've learned, the learnings are that that becomes a cause du jour for the left. The left wing media will Spin it up and make it a huge drama. And you'll get Karens from all over the country driving to Minneapolis to go put themselves on the front lines of a war they know nothing about and don't understand. Go after the businesses, go after the visas, go after the overstays, go after the prisons at the local level with the blue cities, the blue states, and you will get commas, not drama. And that is the key. I think Mark Wayne Mullen can achieve that goal. I think you follow the model that Homan has put forward in Minneapolis where he's getting participation from local jails and prisons. And that is the key. But do not get soft. Do not go squish on immigration. It is the one unifying policy of the entirety of the coalition. All right, here we go. Strong sell. It's that time again, Blake. If you've seen us on social media, Blake's hair has been growing back.
- [16:57]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
You know, I had to shave it again because.
- [17:00]
Charlie Kirk
Because it just. It's growing too quickly.
- [17:01]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Well, and it's just you can't suddenly add hair where there wasn't.
- [17:05]
Charlie Kirk
It's very disruptive to the show. This little bottle has an amazing thing in it called nadh. You used to have to go to the clinic, get it in an iv. Painful, expensive, costly.

We'll be right back. Strike zone issue for us. Rarely, everybody do you get the trifecta.
- [17:59]
Blake
An issue that is popular, an issue that is mandatory to save civilization, and an issue that is necessary to happen urgently. And this qualifies all three.
- [18:13]
Charlie Kirk
We'll be right back.
- [18:15]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Mandatory to save civilization. That that's in the end, why you can't back off. Massage it however you need to, message it however you need to. I think we agree there was a little bit of. It was. There was a lot of triumphalism early in Trump 2.2. Understandably. He won. Really, he won strongly. You want to be assertive and I think sometimes that just rubbed some of those independent voters the wrong way. But in the end, it is mandatory to save America that we not keep these 10 million people that Biden let in.
- [18:43]
Charlie Kirk
You cannot break into the country and get off scot free. There's. That's not an option. Sovereignty has to matter. We, no exception. They all have to go. How we get there, the messaging. We get there, that will. I guess you could say that. You could massage that. I think that's a fair word. All right, so why this is important. Okay, so we go to war, we have an excursion. There's a conflict, strikes against Iran, whatever word you want to use for it. And guess what happens. We get an Austin nightclub shooting from a Muslim radical Islamist. We get IEDs thrown at anti Muslim protesters in New York City. But everybody, you know, Abby Phillips thinks that it was against. Against Mayor Mamdani. You've got a consulate that gets shot up in Toronto. So you. So we've now imported a bunch of people that hate us, that don't share our values, and that if they get offended, they're going to turn their weapons on us. That is failed immigration. That is absolutely the reason why we should not be importing people that hate us. Now you turn our attention to Abby Philippe and cnn. I watched this actually live. I don't know why I did. It was like the remote got changed and all of a sudden it was on cnn. And I couldn't believe the way they were talking about immigration and Muslim immigration. The starting point for their conversation was, you're a bigot if you think there's a problem with Islam. Well, listen, Charlie was very clear about this. We'll maintain it. There's a difference between macro and micro. There. Yes, there are micro independent instances where you meet very kind Muslims that are very nice and they're very respectful. They're proud to be American. I'm not saying that doesn't exist. But on the macro, when you import millions of Muslims, don't be surprised when a few of them try and kill you. That is the lesson of Western civilization and Muslim immigration. And you look at the uk you have people from the United Arab Emirates refusing to fund students abroad to the UK because they might get radicalized and come back to the UAE as radical jihadists. That's the problem. And you see this in Melbourne. Melbourne, Australia, is now a hotbed of Muslim radicalization. New York City. These kids at Gracie Mansion were from Pennsylvania living in a $2 million mansion. It didn't matter. They got radicalized because they were offended. So now, I mean, if you contrast this, Blake, with what happened in World War II. Did we have a bunch of Muslims screaming in the streets, upset at our foreign policy?
- [21:20]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Well, no, we didn't even really have that many, like. Yeah, no, just. No, it was 97% support.
- [21:25]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. Well that's very interesting. So now we have to play the clip because as everybody's talking about it and she sense apologized for it. This is CNN's Abby Phillip claiming that the attempted New York City bombing was actually an attack against Mayor Mamdani. 13 Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here.
- [21:43]
After an attempted terror attack against New
- [21:45]
York's Mayor Zoran Mamdani.
- [21:48]
And the House Speaker Mike Johnson says
- [21:50]
nothing really to condemn those comments. She repeated this apparently two or three times during the broadcast. And then this morning she was finally forced to correct the record show 188. This is her apology. I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd. Yeah, grammatically it's a poor tweet. Was thrown into a crowd of anti Muslim protesters.
- [22:16]
Bombs.
- [22:16]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
I hate it when bombs just get
- [22:17]
Charlie Kirk
thrown and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. That wording was inaccurate. I didn't catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error. So the question now has become was she intentionally lying to her audience or was this a. I think someone was,
- [22:30]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
I don't know that. I think people, they fixate on the talking head and really the process is at CNN or CNN is laundering what occurred, which is that, okay, there was an anti Islamic march and then while people were protesting and trying to say love is love, let everyone in here, they, they got the, they got a very rude encounter with what the religion of peace often actually is, which is you had people whose parents were welcomed into this country who clearly had tremendous opportunities because they're able to live in a $2 million house. This country treated them incredibly well and their children got radicalized and tried to murder people.
- [23:08]
Charlie Kirk
I tend to think because you, you worked on Tucker Carlson show at Fox. So you understood the process from producer getting that, transmitting that information to the host, Tucker, in that case. So the same thing is happening here. But what I actually believe here is this is confirmation bias run amok. So if you show these images, I've got them in the chat here. Look at Axios when they first described this event over the weekend. Explosive device thrown outside New York City Mayor Mohammedani's residence. You can see abc, ABC made a bigger deal about Jake Lang who was the, you know, anti Muslim protester in front of the mansion than they did about the bombs going, being thrown. So what happened here was you had a bunch of confirmation bias with the producers that are 20 somethings that didn't check their work, they believed the first story out of the legacy media because the legacy media media is loathe to point out the obvious that Islamic, Islamic Americans, in this case Muslims have a terror problem. They didn't want to bring that up. And so she saw the initial reporting, ran with it, didn't think there was any problem with it. I think it's confirmation bias. Run amoka. We see this, by the way, with the assassination of Charlie. Legacy news media like Jimmy Kimmel went out and said it was MAGA who did it. Do you know that there's still only like 30 or 40% of the American population that understands that it was a left winger who killed Charlie?
- [24:31]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
You know, I wish I could entirely blame the left for that one.
- [24:35]
Charlie Kirk
Well, I wish I could too. But there is an apparatus, there's a machine of media that whitewashes over the sins of the left because they don't want to admit the truth that yes, you have a political violence problem on the left. Yes, Muslims commit terror and we should be honest about this instead of, you see this? In Canada you have a trans shooter and they call it, what do they call it? A person, like a mass person, a shooting person. I forget. But the point is they didn't want to admit they were trans. Okay. This is a problem with the legacy news media is they don't want to admit that their narratives have completely fallen apart. And that's what I think happened here. I think Abby Phillips why? Why blame cunning when incompetence will do want to tell you guys about why Refi? Our friends over at why Refi are the best. We're all in with them. Private student loan debt in the United states totals about $300 billion. And a whopping almost 50 billion of that is labeled as distressed. So if that is you, you got to check out our friends at Yrefi Y R e f y com or give them a call. 888 y refi 34. They wake up every morning wanting to help you. You students out there, parents of students that are have too much student loan debt, private student loan debt and it's blocking your future. They will work with you.

Welcoming back to the show, one of the fan favorites, one of our favorites is Kane over at Citizen Free Press. Kane, welcome back, my friend. We wanted to thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we wanted to get your. By the way, we have a fancy new phone graphic for you there that we put together.
- [28:05]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
How about that?
- [28:06]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.

Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Smoking cigarette in the bad days.
- [28:08]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, we got a little color there for you. So, Kane, I wanted to get your vibe check on the Citizen Free Press on the CFP Nation there about what they're feeling about this Iran strike. How's it going? How much patience do they have? Are people freaking out yet or are we good?
- [28:31]
Yeah.
- [28:31]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Well, you saw probably in the stack yesterday the Quinnipiac poll that showed that 85% of Republicans are supporting President Trump in the military operation. And you probably also saw last week the poll from CBS that I put a couple of headlines up about that showed that this was kind of, you know, the approval was sort of a time based approval that if, that, if the, the operation lasted less than plural months. So we can assume that they Were, you know, most readers were thinking eight weeks. If it lasts less than eight weeks, it was. It had a plus 52 rating, was 76 to 24. And then if it lasted longer than eight weeks, in other words, if it became months, it dropped to a minus 8 approval. So now getting to the base, at least as it's represented by, you know, my audience at Citizen free press, it's 100% approval, man. People, you know, look as. As you well know, it's a super involved kind of news junkie website. So the people who were in my open thread, the thousands of people who read it every day, they know everything that's going on. If the President had a quote in the last hour, it's likely in the stack and they know about it. So these people are fully aware that Trump wants to end this war quickly. And you and I were texting last night, and then, you know, I wake up today and there's that quote from Trump saying, you know, most of the targets are gone. I can end the war anytime I want. So Trump is obviously very, very. Let's just say he's very aware of how the base feels about forever wars, and he wants to end it quickly. So he's got no, you know, it's completely different. For example, when I link to a tweet, something an ex post, and I happen to go over there and I read the replies, like, there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of negativity towards, towards the military operation there, and you just don't see it on my site. And again, I think it's because my readers are a bit more mature. They understand that Trump does this, that, that he likes to handle his business and finish. And, and, and they're giving the president, you know, they trust him, basically. They're giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Charlie Kirk
So is there any concern, though, if President Trump just declares victory when you don't have a regime toppled? Right. We're seeing that the ayatollah's son, who we haven't seen yet, because apparently he's been injured in some attack, at least that's the assumption. Is there? I mean, could you declare victory without replacing the regime? I mean, this, for all intents and purposes, his wife was killed, his dad was killed, his daughter was killed. I mean, this guy's not gonna be friendly to us.
- [31:15]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
No, he's not. No. And I had the same thought regarding all of this. Family members that have perished. You know, this guy is probably on a certain, to a certain extent, on a Suicide mission just to take the job is probably a suicide mission. I mean, Israel hinted pretty aggressively yesterday that they're gonna go after him. You know that. But to your point about can Trump declare victory when he doesn't have regime change, when he doesn't have complete and you know, well, look, I don't think it'll stop him. So there's the first thing, I think Trump will still declare victory. Will the people accept that declaration? For the most part, I think they will. I think people understand that regime change is really, really sticky and difficult and that's how you end up in a six month war or a one year or in the case of Iraq, a multi year war. Right. Really get it. So a slight little tangent I put in the stack yesterday that Israel, it was Netanyahu's direct message to the Iranian people talking about how there will be actions coming in the next few days, weeks that will really set them, will set the people up to take over the, you know, to do it themselves. So, you know, the long winded answer to your question about whether he can declare victory without regime change, I think the people will forget him. I think, you know, just getting rid of the Ayatollah is enough of a headline that I, that I really think that that will give him a positive, you know, will give Trump some benefit. And, but yeah, I mean, if you ask Democrats, yeah, they're going to point out, you know, if regime change isn't successful, they're going to point that out at every opportunity. So it's not going to be a clear cut argument. But I think that if you ask me whether it's a successful. Look, if we destroy how many thousand ballistic missiles in all of their launchers and destroy their manufacturing capabilities for these advanced weapons, I think all of that makes the operation a success. If he wanted to end it today, I would consider it a success.
- [33:14]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Well, the obvious thing that comes to mind is what if Iran says, actually we're just not, we're not freeing up the Strait of Hormuz until maybe we get concessions from you. A thing I worry about is a lot of people are saying he should declare victory and go home. It is easier to start a conflict than to end one. And you do need, to some extent, you need Iran's agreement. They've been shooting missiles at the Gulf states, they're shooting missiles at Israel. They've been shooting missiles at our bases. What if President, what if the president declares victory and they say we're going to keep shooting missiles?
- [33:47]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Then Trump probably says pulls it. Well, we're not quite done yet. I mean, I would imagine that Israel. Let's talk about Israel first. They've got to have a list of targets that's six weeks long. Eight week long. Eight weeks long. least we probably have the same list. I imagine Trump could say, I mean, look, the guy. The guy, you know, he jumps and jives. He can. He can move. If. If Iran continued to target ships in the Strait of Hormuz, I imagine Trump would. Would double back down and say, we're going back in for, you know, for three days worth of strikes. I don't, you know, I don't fully understand the geography there, but I would imagine we started blowing up the ships, right. Trump claimed we blew up 10 ships that lay mines yesterday. So I would imagine that Trump would just sort of restart it. But it's complicated. Blake, you're absolutely correct. It is not easy to end these things. And so we're all sort of speculating how it's gonna go. But I'm just sort of saying that I think Trump has enough positive things in his favor that, you know, that he could get away with it on an approval basis if it ended tomorrow or Friday, let's say. And they asked people, I think he'd probably get a 60, 40 approval on the operation. Maybe 65, 35. And that would include Democrats.
- [35:00]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, I think you're guessing. I think you're right. You know, we had Robert Barnes on the show. A lot of people got up in arms about that, but, I mean, his point was pretty clean cut. He said, you know, the longer this war draws out, the more risk politically that President Trump is going to endure and absorb. And I think that that point is. Is fair. Right. I mean, we've seen that the fraying of the coalition is coming mostly with people that we brought into the coalition in 2024. So new entrants into the coalition, that would be Hispanic voters, that would be African American men, that would be young voters. Those are the. Those are the parts of the coalition that is fraying the quickest. And so to get in and get out quickly. I think there is political upside there. And. And, you know, and I would just underscore the point with this, that President Trump is the best salesman we've seen politically in a generation. I mean, he can sell this to the public, I have no doubt. But, yeah, there'll be. There'll be a lot of, I would say, sniping from the left. But remember this, that President Trump, we were critics of the way this. This effort was sold at the beginning, I think they've done a much better job highlighting the ballistic missile capabilities, highlighting the launchers, the Navy highlighting. And they can, I think definitively and honestly say we've had success on those fronts. Let's pack it in. We're going to, if they, if they cooperate now, we're going to go home. If they don't, we'll hit them again.
- [36:26]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Yeah, I think that's fair. I think that's a fair assumption. And I think that's likely to be the outcome, you know, whether it is this week or next week. I think that's essentially the case that we'll make. And look, the first day, the first one was a 12 day war, right. And it surprised everyone when Trump, he made that visit over the Knesset and you know, we brought our bombers in and we bombed and then, and then Trump declared the war was over. I sort of have felt from the beginning that this is a 21 day war. So 21 days puts it at a week from this coming Saturday. That gives them 10 to 11 more days of 24 hour sorties to hit it, to hit as many targets as they can. And then, and then, you know, regarding Blake's point, which is likely, I mean, that's really the most likely negative scenario that could occur if we declare, if we declare an end early, which would be they would continue to attack in the Strait of Hormuz. And so we would have to have a backup plan in place. But I really think it's going to end. You know, and the other thing is, with all of their missile defense degraded the Israel and with our having done the heavy work with the, with the bunker busters, you know, Israel could probably operate it on their own. After 21 days, they could probably decide what targets they want to hit. And you know, a slight little aside, I would. If someone's going to go after the new supreme leader, which Israel has claimed they will, you know, I want it to be Israel. I'm fine with the fact that the CIA provided intelligence that located, you know, for that initial strike 10 days ago that located the Ayatollah. But, and I'm, and I'm happy for our intelligence to be involved in this next one, but I would, I would be more comfortable if it were Israel.
- [38:12]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, I think a lot of people feel there is a, there's, it's kind of a distinction difference, but I think you're right, I think a lot of people would agree with you. Kane, stay right there. We're going to talk immigration next segment with Kane from Citizen Free Press Check it out. I go there every day, multiple times. I want to tell you about All Family Pharmacy.

We are with Citizen Kane, Citizen Free Press. Got to check it out. CFP Nation living large. All right, Kane, there's a troubling potentially article out of Axios that suggests that the White House is going to pivot on messaging. No more deport them all, no more mass deportation talk. We're just getting criminal illegals out. Your take.
- [39:40]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Yeah, my take is it's all about semantics. Right? You saw me in the stack a couple weeks ago when I laid out the numbers of. You have to start with how many illegal aliens are actually here. And I'll try to do this quickly in 20 seconds or so. Ann Coulter wrote a piece back 10, 15 years ago where she utilized an analysis that was done by Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns is one of the investment banks that failed during the bailout. In fact they were the first one and they were taken over by JP Morgan. But anyway, Bear Stearns did this analysis in 2005 where they said, and they analyzed state tax receipts and they went through all 50 states and they came up with a number that was close to 20 million. So 20 million illegals in 2005. We know that Biden, the official numbers are what, seven and a half million came in in his last four years. And then there were gotaways. So let's just, let's be kind and add, call it 10 million to the 20 million. So we have at least 30 million illegal aliens in this country even with self deportation, which DHS said was 2.2 million last year in addition to what 600. They said they, they physically deported over slightly over 600,000. So the combined number was 3 million. So let's say that we had that, that same success for these next three years where we got 3 million each year, 2.2 from, from self deportation and close to 800,000 from physical deportations. The point is that would only add up to 12 million. There are 30 million here. So I have always objected to this language of map of deport them all. I don't think it's possible to deport them all. And, and it kind of frightens people, I think. What that Axios article. Now first thing, I had some doubts about that article because it quoted one guy, right? It was one, it was James, I forget him all of a sudden. But it quoted one source who having met with the private retreat of House Republicans, told them to change their messaging. So that's why I said semantics. I really think that they're just saying that the phrase mass deportations isn't polling very well anymore. It's not a positive phrase that people that independents are reacting to. Right. They're looking forward to the midterms. This is all about how the, how the independents are going to vote in the midterms. So it's a phrase thing. I don't think it means that anything has to change about the underlying way that we go about it. And the last point, I'll try to do this in 20 seconds too before I throw it back. It's a complicated thing. We do not see these really ugly scenes in red states. Why? Because the red state jails and sheriffs are cooperating with us. It's these blue states, these sanctuary states where we get no cooperation. We don't know when these people are getting out of jail. So we sort of have to go grab them on the streets. So that, that's sort of why Minnesota happened. So I say continue to port as many as you possibly can, criminal or quote unquote non criminal, even though it's a criminal violation to come into this country illegally. Deport as many as you can. Let's try to do 3 million a year. And I'll be happy, I'll be thrilled if we got rid of 10 million illegal aliens at the end of four years. Thrilled.
- [42:49]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. I think, you know, we made this point earlier, Kane. I think there's a couple things we could do that will actually increase numbers and get more actual deportations with less drama. Number one, Mark Wayne Mullen has proven that he can work across the aisle. He can quell some of the just the knee jerk resistance from Democrats. Sanctuary cities. Get them to cooperate. Follow the Tom Homan model in Minneapolis where You get state and local counties, prisons to cooperate, jails to cooperate. When they pull these people over for a traffic stop, whatever, there's a detainer request, get them out. That's how Obama achieved the numbers that he did with, you know, not nearly half as much energy devoted to deportations. Alright, so that's one, go after the employers. Then three, you increase the incentive for self deportations, up the number. This is a simple market analysis. When you put a price on something, you'll get this many customers. If you drop the price or you make it more attractive, you'll get more customers. So let's see how we can do this to actually save money. We got all this money that funded the one big beautiful bill, funded ice, ICE edition, ICE agents, judges, that sort of thing. Let's see how much we can get just from self deportations. I think that is a truly, truly untapped resource yet I think we've seen some, but there's much more to go. So I'm all for creativity. I think you can actually apply additional pressures. I've heard ideas like going after the international airports. I mean, listen, L.A. new York, they get a ton of business through international airports. Well, if you're not going to be enforcing immigration law in your local municipalities, your local cities, well then maybe we shouldn't be supporting your international tourists either. You know, I'm just. Maybe that seems harsh to some people, but there are other levers to pull here to bring these sanctuary cities to heel people. And this is my final warning. I'm monologuing a bit, but this is my final warning. If you do not give the base something to vote for in the midterms, they will not show up. And midterm elections are base elections. Those are turnout elections. You need your most reliable people generating enthusiasm, generating activity and energy so that people show up to the polls. Final two minutes here. Blake. I don't know if you have a thought on that, but I just think
- [45:09]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
it's so essential for the country to deliver on this.
- [45:12]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, you make that point again and
- [45:14]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
again and it's important, like the politics. It's almost like to zoom out, it's you, you look at the politics and say, make it work. You've got to make it work politically because the thing itself is essential. I mean, it's just like we should view it at least as important as whatever is going on with Iran. You know, you would say, does the base or not so much, does the public really want to bomb Iran? Well, the polls say pretty ambivalent about It. But if they were close to getting a nuclear bomb and if the threat was of a serious nature, the president just has to do it. He has to do it. And then you sell it because you had to do it. Same thing with deportations. This is an existential threat to the country. You've got to make the people who are here illegally go home. And you sell it however you can. You have to approach it with that attitude.
- [46:03]
Charlie Kirk
Amen.
- [46:04]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Yeah.
- [46:04]
Charlie Kirk
Final minute to you.
- [46:07]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Yeah. Expediency. I like the point. You know, you mentioned something about Obama deportation numbers, so that triggered something in my head. That's the big mystery, right? We've seen it. How did Obama deport so many? How did Biden deport so many? It turns out there's a fudging of the numbers there. And you can look this up, and I want the audience, if they aren't aware of it, to look it up. What it was is the border was wide open with Obama and Biden. Correct. So they had a huge number, a huge pool, millions, in this case, of fresh people at the border every year that they were able to, many of which whose asylum claims were denied or whatever, they were able to quickly deport those. So that's how their numbers got stacked. That's how Obama was able to deport three and a half million. Trump doesn't have the benefit of any of that because the border is effectively shut. And any traveling migrant from Central or South America knows that the border is shut. So they're not showing up. So we don't have those easy deportations. So that's. I, I just thought that number astounded me, like, how the heck.
- [47:12]
Charlie Kirk
Deeper in the numbers. Kane, A lot of those were just prison transfers, jail transfers, too. So, yeah, Citizen press, check it out today. Kane, you're the man. We'll talk to you soon. Thanks, brother. We'll be back.
- [47:35]
Terrence Bates
We're back with this real America's Voice news break. We appreciate you being here with us. It is the heart of tax season. In fact, the deadline to file, or at least request an extension is about a month away. Now, putting off your tax issues won't make them go away, though. But that's where the folks over at Tax Network USA can help. Cameron Kinsey from TN USA joins me now to explain. Hey, Cameron, good morning.
- [47:59]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Good morning, Terrence. Thanks for having me.
- [48:01]
Terrence Bates
Absolutely. So what sorts of issues or concerns are you seeing as April quickly approaches?
- [48:07]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Well, I mean, as we get closer to this deadline, we're seeing two different groups of people right now. First, we're seeing the people who filed and are absolutely shocked by how much they owe. And second, the people who haven't filed because they're too afraid to act and they're too afraid of what that number or outcome is going to be. Terrence. So the worst thing people can do right now is panic, like you mentioned, and let this become a bigger problem than it needs to be. But second, worst thing that somebody can do is ignore it completely. The earlier that you face this, the more options that you're going to have and the more control that you'll have over this entire situation.
- [48:40]
Terrence Bates
All right, so let's focus on the first group that you described, people who fired and owe more than they expected. Is there anything they can do on the back end? What options are there?
- [48:50]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Yeah, I mean, first file on time, no matter what. Filing protects you from the much larger failure to file penalty. After that, don't just set up the first payment plan that the IRS offers you without fully understanding it. There are structured resolution options available. But you want to approach this strategically, Terence, before those penalties and those interests start compounding. So acting quickly really just gives you that peace of mind and that leverage that keeps the balance from spiraling.
- [49:19]
Terrence Bates
And how does Tax Network USA kind of stand in the gap for those people who may not necessarily know how to deal directly with the irs?
- [49:27]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Exactly. That's exactly what we do, Terrence. We act as a liaison between you and the irs, so you're not taking on the burden, talking them directly every single day, waiting on the phone, on hold. It's very quick and easy to get started with us. You just fill out a quick form online. You can call us as well. You can talk to an agent completely free. We have CPAs, licensed attorneys, even former IRS agents that know the tax code inside and out. We don't expect the average person to know the tax code like we do and know your options that are available. But we really just try to help everybody, no matter the situation. We've probably seen it before.
- [50:02]
Terrence Bates
The reality is many people who are coming to you are already in a financial bind, and so they're hoping that you can help them get out of it, but there is a cost associated. How does that typically work?
- [50:14]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Yeah, so we do have payment options available. We don't want to become a bigger burden to you. Right. We already know that this is a stressful situation. People are putting it off for a reason, and they're stuffing those letters in a drawer. If they're getting them from the irs, they don't even really know where to start. A lot of people who are approaching us, it's the same situation. They're too afraid to act. They don't know what their options are. So that's really where we come in. There's installment agreements available, offers in compromise. We'll try to get the best resolution for you, but for us, we don't try to be a bigger burden financially. So there are payment options available depending on your case.
- [50:49]
Terrence Bates
And so much of the talk is obviously individual taxes. But businesses are also dealing with the burden of having to deal with the irs, which for a business owner could be even more stressful because there are so many people dependent on that business.
- [51:03]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Yes, exactly. And penalties and interest just add up. We've just been seeing this across the board. Penalties start after the deadline. Interest starts compounding daily, like I mentioned. So, you know what is worse is that people don't realize how fast that number can snowball. I mean, a balance that feels manageable in April to an individual or a business can look very different in just a few months if it's left untouched. I mean, especially when those notices and fees start stacking up on top of that. So it's really just good, Terrence, to have professionals in your corner like Tax Network usa so they can completely look over all of your financial and filing information. Once you get started, will weigh your options, whether it's offers and compromise, innocent spouse relief, installment agreements, like I mentioned, other options that are best suitable for that particular person's situation. But again, I want to emphasize Terrence, because our professionals have been seeing this a lot recently. Don't put off this and wait. It's better to get ahead of it. If you need help and you know the professionals to call really quickly.
- [52:01]
Terrence Bates
How can folks reach you?
- [52:03]
Cheryl (CPI Reporter)
Yes, it's. You can call us, 1-800-905-8000. You can talk to one of our team members directly. It's completely free. Or you can fill out a form online. Tnusa.com rav say that you heard from us, from here, me and Terrence, and we'll take care of you.
- [52:20]
Terrence Bates
Thanks so much. Appreciate you.
- [52:40]
Charlie Kirk
All right, welcome back. I wanted to highlight a story that maybe you've heard of, maybe you haven't, but there's a massive show on Amazon prime that's hosted by Mr. Beast. Now, if you don't know who MrBeast is, then we've got a whole other.
- [52:53]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Don't have any kids under the age of 15, probably.
- [52:55]
Charlie Kirk
Mr. Beast is wildly popular with young, young people on social media, YouTube and he now he hosts a game called Beast Games on Amazon Prime Video. And we have the holy.
- [53:06]
Terrence Bates
Whoa.
- [53:06]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
He has 470 million YouTube subscribers.
- [53:10]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, it's big.
- [53:11]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
That would be the second largest country or third largest country in the world.
- [53:15]
Charlie Kirk
Yes, he's very popular. Very popular. And one of the contestants, season two, the runner up, in fact, is a gentleman named Corey Simms. And we have him on the show now. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
- [53:26]
Corey Simms
Corey, thank you so much. It's truly an honor and a blessing to be on your show. I truly am so grateful. Thank you.
- [53:33]
Charlie Kirk
Awesome. Well, you can already, the audience can probably already hear why you've been invited on the show just by your tone. And you. So you are a Navy veteran and you competed for 42 days in this high stakes reality competition hosted by Mr. Beast East. You really caught people's attention, not only because you were the runner up. Apparently it was, I didn't see the finale, but apparently it was. Could have gone either way for $5 million. But you caught people's attention because you, the way you conducted yourself on the show, you were respectful, you prayed, you didn't backstab, apparently. Explain the show for the audience and how you conducted yourself, why you chose to conduct yourself that way.
- [54:18]
Corey Simms
Absolutely. So that's a great question. So these games is a really interesting social experiment, so to speak. It's kind of put you up against people. You're obviously competing to win, you know, $5 million. So you either get the option and the choice to be a hero and do the right thing, or most likely, which most people end up doing, is unfortunately the money gets into their face and they turn into the villain. Unfortunately, me, I played the game exactly how I live my life, you know, with integrity, with honesty, and most important, just always knowing that God is watching me in everything that I do. So I always, I always try to do the right thing, no matter what.
- [54:59]
Charlie Kirk
Well, I think you're a guy that, that Charlie would have really appreciated. And I know, yeah, I know that, that you might, you probably have some thoughts about Charlie and his legacy. But the, but talk about this point about $5 million and what that did to people. We live in a time of social media influencers that are chasing clicks. Seems like, you know, principles and values. Their faith seems to go out the window the second there is money to be had. You were looking at $5 million. You got to the final two. Explain what that dynamic is like, right, of being, you know, in front of $5 million, having a chance to get it, having the temptation to be conniving. Backstabbing. What is the point? Like, explain the game a little bit and then that temptation of the money.
- [55:49]
Corey Simms
Absolutely. First, I just want to say I was heartbroken what happened to Charlie. Truly, truly tears in my eyes, Sad. And that was just a horrible thing to happen. And Beast Games. Back to your question about Beast Games. It was more like, this is one of those competitions where people get the option to either lie to each other, be honest with each other. And me, I just played the game with all the integrity I could. Just trying to be doing the right thing, saying the right things, so to speak. And by the grace of God, and only by the grace of God, I made it all the way to the end. The final challenge, it was me against Tyler, and it was just one of those weird challenges where it was based on chance. Unfortunately, if it would have been more physical or mental, it might have been a little bit something different, but it was based on, you know, chance and kind of like bluffing, lying, and stuff like that, which obviously I'm not good at. That's why I just kind of started spinning the suitcases around because I didn't want him to see if I was lying or not, obviously. So it's one of those things.
- [56:48]
Charlie Kirk
Interesting. All right, so we have a clip from you after. After you lost came. Came second best. But again, it was a game of chance. Here's SOT 17.
- [57:00]
Corey Simms
It still was one of the best experiences ever.
- [57:06]
Charlie Kirk
It's been awesome watching, man.
- [57:11]
When I met your wife and your boys.
- [57:13]
Blake
Come on, man.
- [57:14]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
That was awesome.
- [57:18]
Charlie Kirk
No, not at all. You're gonna make him so proud. I love you guys so much. Love you, darling.
- [57:30]
I'm really happy for Tyler.
- [57:32]
Corey Simms
If somebody could have won other than me, I'm happy that it was him. And I'm gonna love the Lord in the good times and the bad times.
- [57:40]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Corey has officially been eliminated, and this hurts.
- [57:54]
Charlie Kirk
Very dramatic. I mean, how long was that drop?
- [57:56]
Corey Simms
Yeah, it's probably.
- [57:58]
Terrence Bates
About.
- [57:59]
Corey Simms
Probably 20ft, maybe not too far.
- [58:01]
Charlie Kirk
Wow. I mean, so again, for those in the audience that maybe weren't aware of this show or didn't follow it, this is a really big deal. You have now come out with a book, and I love the title. What 5 million can't buy is image 184. You came out with it. How has your life changed? What did you learn? I mean, I'm assuming you've got a whole big new social media following and what are your plans and what do you want to do with that?
- [58:28]
Corey Simms
Absolutely. So first and foremost, I just always want to shine God's amazing light on everybody. That's my mission in life. And I wrote the book. It was completely inspired by God. One morning I woke up after I came back from Beast Games and I was laying in bed and he put it in my spirit. He said, write a book. So of course I'm going to be obedient. I'm going to listen to whatever he tells me to do. So I just started writing. And honestly, the whole writing process, reflecting on everything that happened, the emotions and everything, it, it really helped me even draw closer to God through that entire thing. It was just amazing. It was truly remarkable. And now I just, I want to go out. My whole platform is just to, to shine his amazing light and help people, inspire people, inspire people with their faith, their, their character, their integrity and just help people as much as I can.

Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
I guess you probably feel that questions like this, but obviously a lot of people who are on these videos, this platform, like they become fan favorites, they become notable in their own right and they're often requested to come back in follow up videos. Is there any chance of that sort of thing happening?
- [59:35]
Corey Simms
A lot of people have been messaging me saying I'm sure Mr. Beast will bring you back to one of his challenges and stuff and I guess we'll have to wait and see. Whatever, everything's according to God's plan. So whatever he has planned for me, I'm more than happy to do it.
- [59:48]
Charlie Kirk
Well, I know that Mr. Beast has a huge following with young people and you now have a platform in some ways not too dissimilar from Charlie, you know, to reach the next generation. Final minute here. Corey, what's your, what's your message to them? What resonates with them? What are they asking you? One minute.
- [60:11]
Corey Simms
Absolutely. So my main thing is just to inspire hope with people. And the most important thing I could tell anybody, especially kids, the young Gen Z, always trust in God, Always have faith in God, always trust his timing and always know that he is working behind the scenes always for your good.
- [60:33]
Charlie Kirk
Amen. Corey, Congratulations on winning $17,000.

Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Mid of a gap. He's very harsh like that.
- [60:43]
Charlie Kirk
5 million. 17,000.
- [60:45]
Corey Simms
Small gap.
- [60:46]
Charlie Kirk
Small gap. But you know, God, God will is faithful. You're right. And we've certainly seen that in, in our own ways, despite, you know, things not working out the way we wanted them to either. So God bless you and I will pray for you that you, your fruit would be great and that your mission would or your ministry would be great and that God's name would Be made great through you. God bless you, man.
- [61:08]
Corey Simms
Thank you.

We'll see you around.

I just love how, like, he has his 53,000 followers on Instagram. I know it's some of that is for those who do not follow the beast. It's like anyone who's just on his videos, can people become famous because they're in one random video?

Got a fun, two really fun stories to hit in this segment before bringing on Alex Marlowe from Breitbart at the half hour. So private student loan debt. I've said this in hour one. It's worth repeating. It's huge in this country. 300 billion with a B. Billion dollars. 45 billion of that is labeled as distress. That's a ton of people that are struggling.
- [62:49]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
It's a lot of distress.
- [62:50]
Charlie Kirk
It's a lot of distressed private student loan debt. And this goes back to some of Charlie's main points, that the college cabal is bloated. It charges way too much money for a piece of paper. That means less and less. Now, there are some degrees that may be helpful and you may need to go to college, university to get in the profession you want. A lot of times people just don't even graduate and they rack up all this debt and then you're stuck with amount of student loans that are delaying family formation, home buying, all of the things, the conservatizing life events, the three M's, marriage, mortgage, and mating. So we want more people to get married, more people to get their first home, start having kids. It's better for the country. But guess what? This private student loan debt is getting in the way.

All right, so the news this morning just broke that Howard Schultz, the former CEO and founder of Starbucks, announced that he and his wife Sherry are relocating from Seattle, Washington. Commie Commie Washington, where they've lived for 44 years. And they're moving to where? Miami, Florida.
- [64:29]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
They all moved to Florida.
- [64:31]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. As they enter their retirement phase.
- [64:33]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Okay, so, I mean, so it's just very funny here. Like, the timing is almost perfect because Washington, despite being a blue state, it was one of the handful of states with no state income tax. Very, very notoriously, I believe people in South Washington, they would live in Washington, pay no income tax, and they would drive and do their shopping in Oregon, which has no. Yeah. No sales tax. And there it's a blue state. You kind of just have to pass an income tax or you're not properly progressive anymore.
- [65:04]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, you get kicked out of the club if you don't.
- [65:07]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
So Washington is just a. Is now enacting a state income tax. One of their lawmakers was assuring people that, you know, rich people are not going to leave. It's not. That's not going to happen. And lo and behold, today Howard Schultz announces he is relocating to Florida, almost certainly to escape the burden of that.
- [65:27]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, so it's 9.9% tax on income over $1 million. So it's 10% tax is a legit. That's a big tax to put on. So he, he has this statement here. He says, you know, he talks about how 1979, they drove across the country.
- [65:43]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Now they're driving.
- [65:44]
Charlie Kirk
Retriever. Yeah. Start a new job. Place called Starbucks. Back then, the Pike Place Starbucks only sold, what, Whole bean coffee. Today, it's the most visited Starbucks in the world. So they, they talk about growing it and The Schultz family Foundation. Critical work to help others in the community. But the reaction online has been nothing, let's just say subtle. You've got Mike Cernovich saying this. He's scum that he has been. He went all in on the woke and the riots and that this guy's going to go to Florida and that all these rhinos are going to cozy up to him because he's got money and we need to stop bowing before bail. Pretty intense commentary from him. What does Rufo say?
- [66:23]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Well, I think Chris Rufo has a very adroit take because it's one we've seen over and over. Howard Schultz spent decades virtue signaling for every new demand of progressivism, and now he's leaving the rest of us. Chris Rufo lives in Washington. Of course he's leaving the rest of us to deal with the consequences. A truly dishonorable end to his tenure as a Washingtonian. And that really is worth emphasizing that Seattle was one of the nicest cities in America. It was an iconic city in America. You got. It was kind of the city of the 90s. We got all of that grunge music out of. Out of Seattle. And now I feel like Seattle's probably most notorious for being the city that had chop and the city that has a ton of homeless people and it basically became ungovernable.
- [67:10]
Charlie Kirk
Well, and they're just getting more and more radical. They have essentially a communist mayor. I call communist. She says she's a socialist. They've got fraud out the huge amounts of fraud.
- [67:20]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
They were. I mean, they were a tech hub of the United States. They still have it. I mean, Microsoft is up there.
- [67:24]
Charlie Kirk
Amazon or Boeing.
- [67:26]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Yeah, yeah. They're the state of. They're the state of Boeing, Boeing went downhill. They're the state of Amazon, they're the state of Microsoft. But you don't hear about new tech stuff coming out of Seattle nearly as much. It's not the city it once was. And that's substantially because progressivism has a way of ruining the things that are driving prosperity in America.
- [67:46]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, the prosperity comes, they get progressive, they kill future prosperity. It's a pretty common so. And by the way, if you are a major tech company like Microsoft, you can afford the regulatory burdens, the tax burdens, but if you're a startup, they kill you in the crib. You can't get off the ground anymore. So well done, Howard Schultz for helping contribute to create the problem that has mired Seattle in a malaise of its own making. And then fleeing for the sunnier shores and your 44 million dollar penthouse that you have just purchased in Miami.
- [68:21]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
And a bonus warning which is in addition, Starbucks is, they're not moving their hq, they're just building a bonus HQ of sorts in Nashville. So we've got the billionaire moving to Florida. We have the major corporation massively expanding in a red state. We've seen that happen over and over. Because the red states are more business friendly, the red states have lower taxes. We have to make sure we do not fall for this. Do not allow Starbucks to lobby for a bunch of blue nonsense in Tennessee. Do not allow your new billionaire arrival to abruptly campaign for all the things that ruined the state he just abandoned. Because they will do both of those things.
- [68:57]
Charlie Kirk
Exactly. Well. And by the way, this is what bothers me when you see like Hewlett Packard moving to Dallas or whatever, or Texas, maybe it was Austin. They're gonna bring all their woke ideologies. You have to, I mean, I'm crazy on this. I would completely say, hey, if you want to relocate to a new state, you don't get to vote for five years, maybe 10. I think those ideas, it is of
- [69:17]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
existential importance, arguably for the entire planet that we not allow the red states of America to be ruined. Because literally the red, they're basically the only engines of continued innovation and prosperity, arguably in the Western world. Europe is stagnant red states, Canada is committing suicide, literally.
- [69:34]
Charlie Kirk
Red states are literally the last firewall for freedom in the West. Yeah.
- [69:38]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
I have a friend in Austin and he says the most important thing is that Texas remain Republican. If Texas stops being Republican, it's over.
- [69:44]
Charlie Kirk
We have one little quick story from another red state. Erica Kirk is in Arkansas. We're announcing a new partnership with the state of Arkansas for Club America chapters to be working like we've done with some of the other states. And she actually spoke at a high school here. Check out this entrance for Erica Kirk, SOT20. So that is the. She was given Sarah Huckabee Sanders a hug. The governor of Arkansas. And we're announcing the big partnership with the state of Arkansas, Club America. Another red state down. Only a few more to go. All right, Alex Marlow joins us next. We'll be right back.
- [71:00]
Terrence Bates
Terrance Bates here with your real America's Voice news break. We appreciate you being here with us. President Trump is headed to Kentucky and Ohio as we speak. He'll be in the Cincinnati area, which is right across the river from Kentucky. The White House says the commander in chief will meet with business owners in both states to discuss the economy. But in Kentucky specifically, he'll also campaign for Navy SEAL Captain Ed Galerian, who is looking to primary incumbent Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, who has been a thorn in President Trump's side, taking to Truth Social 47 writing the incredible people of Kentucky's 4th congressional district who want desperately to get rid of Thomas Massie, the worst Republican congressman that we have had in many years gave us a mandate to make America great again. The person that will help do this job and do it right is Navy seal, Army Ranger, fifth generation Kentucky farmer and American hero, Captain Ed Galerian. He's a true patreon. We'll of course have live coverage of the president's visit throughout the day right here on Real America's Voice. Stay tuned. Meantime, in other headlines, the cost of the war in Iran is mounting. As the Pentagon says about 140American troops have been wounded in the operation so far. Eight are severely injured on top of the seven, excuse me, who have been killed. Meantime, the US military reportedly fired $5.6 billion worth of munitions at Iran just in the first 48 hours of the strikes.
- [72:33]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Our military is the best, it's the most powerful in the world.
- [72:37]
Charlie Kirk
And they're hitting them very hard.
- [72:40]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
This is 47 years of abuse and killing lots of people, killing and maiming lots of people. What is it, Peter?
- [72:49]
Charlie Kirk
What more do you need to do
- [72:50]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
militarily for this operation to end the
- [72:53]
Charlie Kirk
more of this same and we'll see
- [72:55]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
how that all comes out.
- [72:57]
Charlie Kirk
Right now, they are, they've lost their
- [73:00]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
Navy, they've lost their air force. They have no anti aircraft apparatus at all.
- [73:06]
Charlie Kirk
They have no radar. Their leaders are gone. And we could do a lot worse than one another. We're leaving certain things that if we take them out or we could take them out by this afternoon, in fact, within an hour, they literally would never be able to build that country back. All right, we're gonna welcome in Alex Marlowe in just a second. But first, I want to tell you about Hillsdale College. We had an amazing professor on Yesterday, war historian Dr. Ray, Professor Ray from Hillsdale. If you haven't heard it, go back, listen to the podcast from yesterday. He gives an amazing rundown on the history of Iran vs Turkey vs Egypt vs some of the other Arab nations. Very, very fascinating. Will give you tremendous insight into that region. But listen, Charlie understood that leadership began with learning. He took learning very, very seriously. And he was always asking Blake which books he needed to read and things like that. One of the courses he took at Hillsdale, their online free courses was the Genesis story taught by Hillsdale Professor Dr. Justin Jackson. This free online course explores the relationship between God and man. What happens when that relationship is broken in the path to reconciliation. It's a actual college course. It's rigorous, it's challenging, it's thoughtful and it's accessible to anybody who is willing to learn. You can take the very same course completely free. Go to CharlieForHillsdale.com that's CharlieForHillsdale.com Learn deeply. Lead boldly. Carry it forward. Learn like Charlie did. We love the folks over at Hillsdale and these courses are amazing. The quality's through the roof. Alex Marlowe, editor in chief of Breitbart. He's also got his own show, the Alex Marlowe Show. Alex, welcome back. Lots to get to today. I want to start, I wanna talk politics because that's the question of the day. I mean, it seems like the war is being executed extraordinarily efficiently and well, progress is obviously there. We've destabilized that. The military apparatus, their naval fleet, everything is destroyed in that sense. Still some more work to do, but the politics of it is still in question. Playsot19 Now, I took a look at
- [75:32]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
all the polling average it all together
- [75:34]
Charlie Kirk
and we have now reached the year mark we have now reached the year mark in which he has a negative net approval rating. So we have been talking about this for a long period of time according
- [75:45]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
to my average of polls.
- [75:46]
Charlie Kirk
What we've been looking at is every day since March 12, 2025. You know, I took a look at
- [75:52]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
all the polling average it all together
- [75:54]
Charlie Kirk
and we have now reached the year mark, we have now reached the year mark in which he has a negative net approval rating.
- [76:02]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
So we have been talking about this
- [76:03]
Charlie Kirk
for a long period of time according
- [76:04]
Kane (Citizen Free Press)
to my average of polls.
- [76:06]
Charlie Kirk
What we've been looking at is Every day since March 12, 2025, President Trump has been underwater and we've been counting up the days. We've shown this slide a number of times and we have now reached the point in which Trump has been swimming with the fishes for a year. All right, sorry about the replay there. Apparently we had a tech issue, so it kind of played twice. That's all right. You get the idea, Alex. He's underwater. There is a little bit of bleed on some of the coalition with the Iran strikes. What do you make of it?
- [76:37]
Yeah, first of all, Jemin, always nice to see you. I always miss it when I'm away. It hasn't been too long. But when we were on together right after the initial raid on Iran, Rich was on with us and he was saying that flat out this is going to be unpopular. And I don't think anyone was going to deny that, because even if Trump draws an inside straight and does a great job dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities, it's just there's not that many constituents that wanted to see a war play out. And it does create a lot of complications economically when people want us to focus at home and on things like affordability. And it's going to drive prices up, it's going to drive gas prices up, and it brings up other issues like we haven't fully restocked our strategic oil reserves, which Biden drained for his political purposes. And so there's a lot of complicated downstream effects. And I do think one thing the administration could do a little better is to point out the nuclear threat of Iran. And I think we just kind of acted like that was over. And I think that was a big mistake, is that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon. They were the most likely to get it of anyone in the world who wants it. And if they did get it, they've been calling us the Great Satan forever. If they did that, then of course they would want to use it. But also creates all these complications like all these other countries who don't have nuclear weapons who say, well, if Iran's got one, we got to go get one. And it could really put us on the brink of Armageddon. And this never came up. I don't know why this never came up, that we didn't point out that this was a real threat. Of all the fake threats we hear about, we never heard about this real one. And so it just puts the President politically behind the eight ball, but he assumes in a couple months time he'll have won, he'll declared victory. Remember, they've got a cardboard cutout leading their country right now, which is sort of hilarious. He's like the Yeti or the Chupacabra. We've never seen him before, no one knows where he is. He doesn't give speeches, he doesn't give interviews. And so if Trump can declare victory and then come home quickly, he could still net out in the end. But it's a tough political proposition, it just is.
- [78:25]
Yeah, and apparently we haven't seen him, cuz he was injured in an Israeli bomb strike, so a missile strike. So we're not exactly sure where this guy is or in what condition he's in. But you know, I heard somebody refer to him as the Hunter Biden of Iran, but which I thought was funny. I mean, so, yeah, and here's my take on it. It's no secret we have been a little bit reticent about going to war. Charlie was reticent about regime change. We share those concerns. But once the president hits go, we've got his back. We're going to get. We're going to trust him to make these tough decisions. And I do agree with you, Alex. There is a story to tell. Blake. Blake has framed it this way, that it could be the last Middle east conflict that we have to wage. Right. If it's conducted the right way. And I think that geopolitically, you see how this could really put the screws to China and the ccp. You could see how this could help us from a geopolitical, strategic standpoint. You could see how what we did in Venezuela, taking the head of the snake there, could end up bringing Cuba back into good stead with the United States. All of these things could be really powerful and could pay dividends for generations. The concern, though, is short term. Right. And so I want to bring up this graphic here. Oh, yeah, we do have a picture of the cardboard cutout, but I don't know what status our computer is in right now. We had a little bit of, oh, there it is. There's a cardboard cutting.
- [79:48]
I mean, how could this be real? Is that what they're praying to? They're praying to a false eye title now.
- [79:53]
It's very, very weird.
- [79:56]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Golden Calf was made of gold.
- [79:58]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. He doesn't want to poke his head out of hiding because it does seem like Israel has intentions to take him.
- [80:04]
Kissing it. They kiss the cardboard cutout of a guy no one knows. This guy is. He's a ghost. He doesn't exist. And people say that James Carville's out there saying, oh, he's a big threat. He's even more radical. We don't know anything about. He doesn't do interviews. Carville's not up on his podcast. This ayatollah is not, you know, he's not out there creating content for people. He's just behind scenes. If he even exists at all.
- [80:25]
Totally. I think the whole thing's bizarre. But what else is new from the Iranian regime? Let's go ahead and show image 187. All right, so this is a pooled survey data, strengthened numbers, Verisite polls, and they've conducted it from May of 2025 through February of 2026. And this is a graph of among Trump supporters. Okay. So every bar you're seeing here is a Trump supporter, like a cohort with over 65, family income, over 100,000. White, college, white, non college. And if you look down at the bottom, the groups that he's losing support most with are gonna be AAPI. So Pacific Islanders. Yeah. And Asians, Hispanics, 18 to 29 year olds make under $50,000. 30 to 44 year olds and blacks. These are Trump voters that he's bleeding support with. It does seem like these would be the people that we brought into the coalition most recently.
- [81:24]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Yeah, it's the marginal members of the coalition.
- [81:27]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, they were in wet cement. So let's play this out the next coming weeks, months ahead, what do we do to shore up the base, get enthusiasm back up and bring these people back into the fold?
- [81:42]
Okay, first of all, this is a great question. First of all, you've got to do what I've said, which is we've got to go back and make the case that we really were. There was a legitimate nuclear threat that Iran posed and they were relentless. Trump should also remind people that one year ago he wrote Iran a letter that said no more nuclear development, no more funding of terrorist proxies in the region, no more pursuit of ballistic missiles. And Iran did all three of those things. And our President's word has to mean something. The next thing is that we need to, after we've made that case that there was legitimate pretext for it, then we need to declare victory and go home, put the mission accomplished banner up and come back and say, we did it, we flipped it, we're not sticking around with regime change, ground troops and whatever is gonna be there is going to do better. And then we need to start working on affordability. We need to make sure the Strait of Hormuz is open. They're stopping all these tankers that could be getting the oil to the west now. But who's still getting their oil? Russia and China. They're still getting their oil. That's of course a bad look. Trump's aware of this. I guarantee you he's thinking about it right now as we're having this conversation. That's gotta stop and it's gotta never return. And then he needs to go out and make the case that we did make peace in the Middle East. Middle east, it's over. This was a war we didn't start. It was start against us almost half a century ago. It's the last Middle east war. I love that framing from Blake. And now it's over. And then hopefully the prosperity starts happening.
- [82:59]
Yeah. I'm reminded back to the campaign days when you would see, you know, I remember there was a local news reporter here in Phoenix, but I think it ended up going national. And it was, you know, a Hispanic voter. And their case for voting for Trump was very simple. Under Trump, there was more money in my wallet. There was just more prosperity. It is almost as simple as that. And I don't know that economically we've gotten to that point yet. I don't know that we've made the case yet. Trump is out in Kentucky. I think he's gonna be campaigning against Thomas Massie, but he's also gonna be talking about Trump Rx today. I mean, you gotta let Trump be Trump. That's my thing. You gotta let Trump be Trump. But listen, Trump rx, these populist conservative wins, banning stock trading, getting the Save America act passed. These. We need to get some wins on the board. And that's the warning to Congress right now. Thune. I don't even know what to do with Thune. I got so frustrated. Thune. I literally tweeted a video of him with just gobbledygook letters because it was like, we don't have the votes. Be a leader. Go get the votes. You know, this is your job to go figure out and find a way. Zero urgency, zero respect for what the base is asking for. And if you do that over and over and over again, you're going to bleed support, you're going to bleed enthusiasm from your most. Your most enthusiastic supporters.
- [84:19]
Yeah, exactly. So we got to keep the enthusiastic people high energy. And the new members of the coalition that they really liked, that Trump was making things. They were thinking about their bottom line and not getting us into wars. So can we undo this soon? I think so. I think Trump's keenly aware of this. We know gas prices always go up in the summer anyway. We're waiting for a lot of those big, beautiful bills. Tax cut, the. What's the season that we're talking about with everyone's going to get their tax rebates back. All that. We got to let that happen. We got to let it play out. But there is some urgency here. We do have an element of a ticking clock.
- [84:52]
We. We. Yes. I mean, and Charlie would say this all the time. We have two roads ahead of us. We've got Mamdaniism or we've got maga. And voters are going to be making up their mind in the next couple of. Well, if they haven't already made up their mind, it's got to get them back. All right, I want to tell you guys about strong cell. Stay right there, Alex. I want to tell you guys about strong sell. If you have been a faithful podcast listener for any amount of time, you will have heard us talk about strong cell. You would have heard Charlie talk about strong cell. Amazing, amazing patriots down in Texas, they have come up with a way, a proprietary delivery mechanism of nadh. What is nadh? It powers your cell cells at the mitochondria in your cells. So if you have chronic fatigue, chronic illness, if you have brain fog issues, word recall issues, this very well could be the key to unlocking a better situation for yourself.

Corey Simms
All right.

Charlie Kirk
Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. So we have one of the great media minds in the country, Alex Marlow, on and there's a couple important media stories to tackle here. First, we covered this in hour one, but I want to get your thoughts here, Alex. The CNN debacle, Abby Phillip saying that, you know, they were actually just attacking Mayor Mamdani's house. They wanted to attack the first Muslim mayor, which makes absolutely zero sense. She repeated it multiple times, then corrected it. Was this an innocent mistake or was this gaslighting and lying from the legacy media?

I mean, it's hard to know. I mean, I just can't believe they're always giving ISIS the benefit of the doubt. There is this meme that a lot of people are going to remember that I think may have originated with my writer John Nolte. But a lot of people have echoed it, which is that CNN is isis and it was always sort of a troll. But now they're defending ISIS and they're saying ISIS is coming after the mayor of New York. And they're not. They're coming after guys who are against radical Islam, which is you're allowed to protest off in this country and not have CNN just continue to lie about you. But they can't stop doing it. It's non stop. They were defending him. And then Abby Phillip goes right out on her show and says that it was actually attack on Mamdani. And they were that tweet that they deleted where they act as though these guys were coincidentally in New York and spontaneously decided they'd put out a nail bomb and try to incinerate civilians. It's just crazy stuff that this is allowed. And I can't help but think Netflix almost bought them. And the only reason why Netflix wasn't able to take them over is because they refused to drop Susan Rice from their board, who is only there for purely political purposes to get Obama ism into our entertainment. So our media continues to be a huge disgrace and thankfully the people mostly see through it.

Yeah, well, and then a news story out of CBS confirms what Nick Shirley already told us.

It's Nick Shirley. Also the Trump administration. Dr. Oz went, he did a video in Los Angeles and he says, you know, I'm here in la. There's a bunch of hospices. I think he went to Van Nuys in the Valley. And he basically. I don't know if I said that right, but you said it. He's like, there's 500 hospices in, you know, a four block radius or something, and a bunch of them are fraudulent. Governor Gavin Newsom said he was being racist and filed a civil rights complaint, said we needed to investigate Dr. Oz for this. CBS News goes, and they go to the exact same location and they say, oh, there's 90 hospices in one building. 70 of them have multiple red flags for fraud. Overall, I think about more than half of the hospices in SoCal had red flags for flood. It's all real. Same thing we heard about the autism centers. That was a big part of the Minnesota fraud. Wall Street Journal just went and looked at a bunch of Medicaid data that was published and they said they found one in Indiana. It was a piece by piece. Autism centers collected $29 million in Medicaid billing for 84 patients in one year. That is $340,000 per child in one year.

Think about how many taxpayers that is just for one.
- [89:30]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
That's basically your entire lifetime of taxes, if you're an average American, was spent to provide one year of autism care to one kid from this center in Indiana.

And so people, just so people understand how it works. Medicare is, of course, federally administered, but hospices must be licensed by the state. So it's up to the state of California in this instance to issue the licenses. You, you know something about California fraud there, Alex. You went to Berkeley. You started with Breitbart out of Los Angeles. So the point is you now have CBS covering this. Are we seeing a changing of the guard or is this, you know, we just got lucky once?
- [90:09]
It's hard to know. I think the stuff that's going on at CBS has clearly been a slight improvement over what was there previously. But I've got a lot of nuances that I'm seeing that are not encouraging me completely that we're going to ever see a complete balance over there. But I'm rooting for it, obviously, because I'd like an informed public. But the thing that's so noteworthy about this particular case, as well as what Nick Shirley found in Minneapolis, is a lot of these blue areas, of which one of which I live in in California, there's actually a disincentive to solve problems. Because to solve a problem like a lot of taxpayer money is getting funded to fake hospices or fake leering centers, or there's actually a way to fix the airport or fix the traffic or fix the homelessness or fix the fire prevention, all of that actually is kind of a dunk on your predecessors who are in your same party. And so there actually is disincentive to try to solve problems in deep blue areas because all that does is show that the people who are in charge before, who probably endorse you and are probably your friends, it'll probably help you get donors that they all failed in their tasks. So the Democrats have proven they're willing to elect people with no records or horrible records. So they're basically content to go along and just have this manage decline where blue areas in this country just get more crime ridden, more expensive, less pleasant to live in. But the people in power get to keep their jobs and they get, you know, podcast invites from left wing influencers and they're very happy with this. We can't relate to this is very strange to us, but it is very real in the state.
- [91:36]
Well, and you see this in Minneapolis as well, where you import a whole group of voters and you're going to let them get away with the fraud because guess what? They'll vote in block for your party. And this is what California as well. In order to dig out from any of this stuff, you have to offend huge voter blocs because you have to call a spade a spade. Listen, we have a bunch of immigrant crime. They come and they do organized crime and they rent the system and they flee.
- [92:00]
Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
And not only is there a bunch of immigrant crime, you have to confront the reality, which is it's a lot Easier to organize a big fraud ring if you have ethnic affinities with people. A lot of fraud is ethnic affinity fraud, period. It's just everyone who's observed it and investigated it knows this and you have to be able to say it and prosecute it. And they're terrified of doing this. And, and it. I think it's a huge opportunity for the administration. You know, he again gave the role to Vice President Vance at the State of the Union. I think if they were to find the right way to highlight these fraud rings, dramatically break them up, dramatically indict people, get some deportations, maybe even denaturalize and deport some people who are involved in this, that is a win that the administration can tout. And it's mostly beating up on blue states because they enable it the most.

We need a Doge like initiative where we go around and we police some of this fraud. It's very easy and we've seen it from both political parties. Democrats are more efficient at this. But how it works is that you get all this government money allocated towards businesses that are sort of private businesses, but they're not. They're just purely funded by governments. They're sort of NGOs or NGO life. And that's where all the fraud takes place. And that's how these people get loaded up with millions of dollars. It all becomes revolving door. And you see, you know, Gavin Newsom's wife is going around, she's bagging all this cash. She's paying herself millions of dollars out of a charity that's basically about transing the kids. It should be a front page scandal for everyone. But it's a. We're so used to it now. We're getting numb to the scandals. We're getting numb to all the scandals. And that's very dangerous because then people are just going to tune out.
- [93:33]
Yeah, I think. I think that's a really fair point. It's a fair warning, actually. I mean, when you think about what happened with Nick Shirley with the Minneapolis fraud ring, the leering centers, that was a huge, huge story. It broke containment. It became a national news story. And then it got bogged down with Renee Goode and Alex Preddy when we sent in the surge into Minneapolis. That was a winning issue, though. And if J.D. vance wants to contribute, which I know he does, to winning the midterms and winning in 28, then hitting this hard and really putting some wins on the board will go a long way for that domestic policy agenda that we want to see more of. Alex Marlowe check him out. Editor in Chief of Breitbart, Host the Alex Marlow Show. Thank you, my friends. Good to see you again.
- [94:18]
Thanks, guys. See you soon.

Guest Analyst (possibly Blake or another commentator)
Man, I would. I would just love it if hire a thousand new federal prosecutors. Go find right wingers out of law school and just launch them like nukes. Just destroy fraud. If you blow up one 20 million dollar fraud, you've paid for that lawyer's entire career.

Charlie Kirk
Amen. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
