Charlie Kirk
The Charlie Kirk show starts now. Yes, there are a lot of Iranian people who despise the regime and hated Khamenei and are glad that he's dead.
- [01:45]
Donald Trump
But also the regime and the theocracy
- [01:48]
Charlie Kirk
have a lot of people who supported them. It's a country of over 92 million
- [01:52]
Donald Trump
people and so they have their equivalent
- [01:55]
Charlie Kirk
in the rural areas, conservative areas, and so the MAGA equivalent in Iran. Iran targeted these Arab countries. They didn't plead for pe, they didn't ask Donald Trump to stop.
- [02:04]
Sean Davis
They asked Donald Trump for targeting information
- [02:07]
Charlie Kirk
so they could join in the strikes. And Iran, that's what a real coalition looks like. We're all now fighting together to try to finally eliminate the threat that a revolutionary Iran poses to the United States, to our Arab friends, and to Israel.
- [02:22]
Donald Trump
In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly with, you know, no shame, that they control 460kg grams of 60%. And they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs. And that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. So that's, that's, they were, they were proud of it. They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.
- [02:54]
Marco Rubio
United States conducted this operation with a very clear goal in mind. I haven't got a chance to see a lot of reporting. I don't understand what the confusion is. Let me explain it to you and I'll do it once again as clearly as possible. Perh. Perhaps you'll report it that way. The United States is conducting an operation to eliminate the threat of Iran's short range ballistic missiles and the threat posed by their navy, particularly to naval assets. That is what it is focused on doing right now and it's doing quite successfully. I'll leave it to the Pentagon and the Department of War to discuss the tactics behind that and the progress that's being made. That is the clear objective of this mission. The second question that been asked is why now? Well, there's two reasons why now. The first is it was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States. The orders had been delegated down to the field commanders. It was automatic and in fact it appeared to be true. Because in fact, within an hour of the initial attack on the leadership compound, the missile forces in the south and in the north for that matter, had already been activated to launch. In fact, those had already been pre positioned. The third is the assessment that was made that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties. And so the President made the very wise decision. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed. And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and did it. Going back to the purpose, the purpose of this is to destroy that missile capability. Why does Iran want that ballistic missile capability? What they are trying to do and have been trying to do for a very long time is build a conventional weapons capability as a shield where they can hide behind. Meaning there would come a point where they have so many conventional missiles, so many drones, and it can inflict so much damage that no one can do anything about their nuclear program. That is what they were trying to do is put themselves in a place of immunity where the damage they can inflict on the region would be so high that no one can do anything about their nuclear program or their nuclear ambitions. They are producing by some estimates over 100 of these missiles and month. Compare that to the six or seven interceptors that can be built a month. They can build 100 of these a month. Not to mention the thousands of one way attack drones that they also have. They've been doing this for a very long time. And by the way, they've been doing it under sanction. You see the attacks they're conducting right now, they're attacking airports, they're attacking hotels. They're hitting not just military bases, they're attacking our embassies directly. They're attacking facilities that have nothing to do with war or with military. And that's a weekend Iran. That's in Iran. Despite years of sanctions. Imagine a year from now or a year and a half from now, the capabilities they would have to inflict damage on us. It's an unacceptable risk, especially in the hands of a regime that's run by radical clerics. The ayatollah is a radical. Was a radical cleric. That entire regime is led by radical clerics who don't make geopolitical decisions. They make decisions on the basis of theology. Their view of theology, which is an apocalyptic one that has to be taken very seriously as well. So that was the purpose for what this operation is all about.

Every day is a battle for your mind.

Charlie Kirk
Raging information coming from every angle with the will to deceive. Fear not. You found the place for truth. 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. Buckle up. Here we go. All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. It is March 3rd right here at the Bitcoin.com studio in Phoenix, Arizona. Welcome, Blake.
- [07:41]
Donald Trump
Howdy.
- [07:42]
Charlie Kirk
So I have been publicly calling for the administration to sell this war more fully, to give us a more comprehensive explanation of why. Why did we strike? Why did we strike now against Iran? Blake, you had been doing the same. You had been noting the same. I got a bunch of calls from reporters yesterday asking, you know, do I feel like the admin's done a sufficient job? Well, guess What? You do not have to be necessarily in favor of what's going on in Iran to admit that yesterday they added a lot more detail to the sales pitch, and I think that's good. They should be forced to explain kinetic use of US Military forces in the Middle East. Absolutely. And to explain the why. We deserve that. So we're gonna go through this and I will. We're gonna have Shaun Davis on from the Federalists, specifically on the quote from Rubio that seemed to really cause a bunch of headlines yesterday explaining he kind of had a three part answer. And in one of those, it seemed to suggest that we got involved because Israel was gonna act, and if Israel act, they were gonna shoot us anyway, so we might as well preemptively attack Iran. So we'll get into that. But there's more layers than just that clip. Now, by the way, Trump has just responded. He's doing a bilat with the Chancellor of Germany currently. And we're gonna also, later in the hour, break down the difference between France, Germany, Spain and the uk. Uk.
- [09:17]
Tyler Boyer
The uk.
- [09:17]
Charlie Kirk
The uk. So, anyways, here we go. Let's start with Steve Witkoff. Remember now, Steve Witkoff was negotiating alongside Jared Kushner as we were hoping for a diplomatic solution to this Iranian issue. And Steve Wyckoff dropped an absolute bombshell last night on Sean Hannity Show395.
- [09:39]
Donald Trump
In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly with, you know, no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60%. And they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs. And that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. So that's, that's. They were, they were proud of it. They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.
- [10:12]
Charlie Kirk
All right, so 11 nuclear bombs. Instantly, Blake, your mind went to weapons of mass destroy.
- [10:18]
Blake
Exactly. Now, that's a strong claim. If it's true. That's a very strong point in favor of the administration's position, which is they're just clearly endlessly going to pursue this very dangerous thing. But we have been around this sort of thing before.
- [10:34]
Charlie Kirk
We've seen this movie before. Yes.
- [10:37]
Blake
And it will be desirable, it will be good, if we can find a bunch of enriched uranium in the rubble of these facilities. Eventually, of course, we also don't want ground troops to go looking for it.
- [10:48]
Charlie Kirk
Yep.
- [10:48]
Blake
So.
- [10:49]
Charlie Kirk
Well, listen, I'll explain why I think this is different. And that is because this was direct witness eyewitness. This wasn't relying on intelligence or, you know, some ideologue that's trying to find intelligence where none exists in field. This is apparently Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner sitting across the table from negotiators, and they bragged about it. That's a little bit different. Now, if that's proven to be false and that they were just lying to maybe strengthen their negotiating position, that's also telling. But it doesn't mean that he's lying. Right. It doesn't mean that Steve Witkoff is lying here. And it's an important data point. So I, you know, listen, I've seen Matt Walsh's arguments that, hey, if the Fordo strikes were so successful, why did we need to go in again? And I disagree with only that point. I agree with a lot of what Walsh was saying in that tweet. But here's the deal. A dog backed in the corner is more likely to bite. They realized that their time was ticking. Right. That President Trump had this line saying this was the last best chance to do this. Okay. And that seems to basically be in sync with what Marco Rubio then said. Right? So Marco Rubio comes to the podium and says, I don't know why there's all this confusion about this. I think we've made the case. Well, I didn't think they'd made the case, but I like that he was addressing it. So kudos to him. Let's start with reason number one for 20.
- [12:15]
Marco Rubio
The United States is conducting an operation to eliminate the threat of Iran's short range ballistic missiles and the threat posed by their navy, particularly to naval assets. That is what it is focused on doing right now, and it's doing quite successfully. I'll leave it to the Pentagon and the Department of War to discuss the tactics behind that and the progress that's being made. That is the clear objective of this mission.
- [12:37]
Charlie Kirk
All right? So he says the objective is to take out the ballistic missiles and the naval threat. Okay. When we talk about the Strait of Hormuz, this all becomes very clear. About 20% of the world's energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. About 14 to 15% of all trade goes through the Strait of Hormuz. So he continues, reason number two, 421.
- [13:00]
Marco Rubio
It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States. The orders had been delegated down to the field commanders. It was automatic. And in fact, it bear to be true because in fact, the within an hour of the initial attack on the, on the leadership compound, the missile forces in the south and in the north for that matter, had already been activated to launch. In fact those already been pre positioned.
- [13:29]
Charlie Kirk
Okay, so he makes the point that we were going to get attacked no matter what happened automatically that that had already been communicated down to the field commanders. Okay, he continues Reason number three, 424.
- [13:40]
Marco Rubio
The assessment that was made that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties. And so the President made the very wise decision. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even hire those killed. And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn't act.
- [14:10]
Charlie Kirk
All right, so I know this is a little bit clip heavy but this was a literally a four part answer that he gave. This is reason number four, I guess you would say. It's really three reasons. He said three, but it's really fourth reason. And he talks about now this conventional weapon shield that would make them immune from any threats in the future that have become too dangerous to attack them. 432.
- [14:35]
Marco Rubio
Why does Iran want that ballistic missile capability? What they are trying to do and have been trying to do for a very long time is build a conventional weapons capability as a shield where they can hide behind it. Meaning there would come a point where they have so many conventional missiles, so many drones and it can inflict so much damage that no one can do anything about their nuclear program. That is what they were trying to do is put themselves in a place of immunity where the damage they can inflict on the region would be so high that no one can do anything about their nuclear program or their nuclear ambitions. They are producing by some estimates over 100 of these missiles a month. Compare that to the six or seven interceptors that can be built a month. They can build 100 of these a month. Not to mention the thousands of one way attack drones that they also have. They've been doing this for a very long time and by the way, they've been doing it under sanction.
- [15:25]
Blake
Well, we got a lot of clips there. And so we've heard that they had a giant pile of uranium and they were going to go for a bomb. We've heard all these ballistic missiles and we heard Israel was going to attack anyway, so we felt we had to join or there would be more casualties. There's going to be a lot of discussion about that one for sure. We want to hear from all of you. Do you think the arguments have been strong or not? We want to hear from the base about this.

- [18:58]
Donald Trump
They've been very, Spain has been very, very uncooperative and so has uk. Now the second one is shout out. Shocking. But this is not the age of Churchill. I will say the UK has been very, very uncooperative with that stupid island that they have that they gave away and took a hundred year lease having to do with perhaps indigenous people claiming the island that never even saw the island before. What's that all about? And they, they ruin relationships. It's a shame. It's. And, and that country UK and I love that country. I love it. My mother was born there. I love it. My mother was born there. My father was born. Right. He knows all about my father. My father was born there. So you know very places that you sort of automatically very, very feel warmly about. But the uk, what they're doing with energy and what they're doing with immigration is horrible. You have the North Sea. Somebody said yesterday, what would you do if you were the uk? Open up the North Sea. They got windmills all over the place that are ruining the country, ruining the landscapes, ruining the beautiful fields. Open up the North Sea. It's one of the greatest. Think of it, they buy their energy from Norway which gets the energy, the oil from the North Sea. So Norway drills in the North Sea and sells it to UK and UK has a better part of the North Sea.
- [20:41]
Tyler Boyer
Open up that.
- [20:42]
Donald Trump
And number two, illegal immigration. They got to solve that problem. And I must say that not only uk, that, that's other parts of the European Union, they have the same problem. Immigration and Energy. The energy is through the roof, the highest in the world. And the immigration, I mean, you know, look, you have, you have places where in the uk you have a terrible mayor of London. Terrible. He's an incompetent guy. But you have Sharia courts. You don't have Sharia courts. You don't want Sharia courts, you have Sharia courts adjudicating law. So it's very simple. Immigration, very importantly, immigration and energy. And you bring it back, otherwise you're not going to bring it back. Okay, one more, One more.
- [21:31]
Tyler Boyer
Go ahead.
- [21:31]
Anna Paulina Luna
I have a question for the Chancellor.
- [21:32]
Donald Trump
Anderson.
- [21:33]
Charlie Kirk
Yes, please.
- [21:36]
Anna Paulina Luna
You've called for unity and joint force in this moment against Iran. What does that look like to you? And then, Mr. President, we're in getting a deal with Russia and Ukraine on your priority list right now.
- [21:48]
Donald Trump
So we, as I said in Germany the last two days, we are supporting the United States and Israel to get
- [21:58]
Charlie Kirk
rid of this terrible terrorist regime. And we are looking forward to a day after.
- [22:04]
Donald Trump
And we have to talk about the strategy, what is, what is following after this regime is away and we have to strategize on this entire region.
- [22:17]
Charlie Kirk
And we are having a high interest
- [22:19]
Donald Trump
in common approach and common work and what we can do.
- [22:23]
Charlie Kirk
And this is important not just for
- [22:25]
Donald Trump
the Americans, this is extremely important for Europe and extremely important for Israel and their security. So we are really looking forward to
- [22:34]
Charlie Kirk
find ways how to deal about the day after.
- [22:38]
Donald Trump
And as far as Russia, Ukraine, where is it on my priority list? Very high. We thought that. I thought it was going to be one of the easier ones. I've settled eight wars and actually maybe one more than that, but minimum, eight wars. Big ones, potential. India, Pakistan. Big, big wars. Very important, big ones. I thought this was going to be much easier than it is. There's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky. Tremendous hatred. I've seen a lot of hatred in my life, but I think this is about top scale. I believe it's going to happen. Sometimes I blame one, sometimes I blame the other. It's going to happen, but it's high on my list. Not in that it affects the United States so much because it's very far away. But last week, I just see last week and for the last four weeks, actually 32,000 soldiers died. 32,000. And it's been averaging 25 to 30,000 soldiers a month have been dying in that stupid war. And I'd love to see it end. It's the worst that there has been since World War II.
- [23:51]
Charlie Kirk
If you can't get a deal, what will that mean?
- [23:56]
Donald Trump
All you can do is do your best. You know, it takes two to tango and they have to get along. They have to be able to talk to each other. They hate each other a lot. That has an impact. You know, it really has an impact. It's bad for both. The sadness is that if the election weren't rigged, my election, that war would have never taken place. And you know what else wouldn't have taken place? Allowing 25 million people to pour through an open border, that wouldn't have taken place. A lot of things would have been different. But we're doing very well. And I think a big, big factor in this world and future factor is what we're doing right now with Iran. If we don't stop them or if we didn't stop them or if we didn't start, they've been decimated. But if we didn't do what we're doing right now, you would have had a nuclear war and they would have taken out many countries because you know what? They're sick people. They're mentally ill, sick people. They're angry, they're crazy, they're sick. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
- [25:04]
Charlie Kirk
So President Trump not pulling any punches there at the, at the end, they referring to the Iranian regime is angry people, sick people, crazy people that would have started a nuclear war had the US not done when it did. We are going to get into it in the next segment with Sean Davis, the CEO and co founder of the Federalist. Great website. We're going to ask the question, did we get dog walked into this conflict because of Israel? Now Trump just on the record during this bilateral press conference with Chancellor of Germany said if anything, I might have pressured Israel to get into it. So what to make of it? Quite the conundrum. But he did address it and we're going to discuss that with Shaun Davis. We'll be right back. More to come

You and I were talking last night because you had this tweet. I thought it was very, very smartly worded. And you quoted kind of a famous quote that, you know, says there's always two reasons that a man does something. One, the reason he states out loud and then the real reason. And you were referring to Rubio's statement about why we went into war. And he made this comment, we already played it earlier. He said that, you know, we knew Israel was going to strike and so we knew that America was going to hit when they did. America was going to get hit when they did that. So we decided to preemptively attack. Did Israel sort of, to use the parlance, dog walk us into this war, or is there more to the story?
- [31:39]
Sean Davis
Yeah, well, it's interesting. There seems to have been a bit of a walk back from what Rubio said, from what Johnson said after him. I think from what Cotton said this morning, what we've read in some news reports, Trump in the Oval Office today said, no, no, no, if anyone got anyone into this war, it was us getting Israel into the war. I wouldn't, I don't know if I would personally say dog walk. I get why some people might. I think it is a complicated situation. We have intertwining interests with Israel. They're an ally and they're a friend. We also at times have some contradictory interests. There may be things they want to do that aren't great for us and vice versa. But I actually think it's great for it to be out there that, hey, we're not out there acting on our own. This was not all us, nor is Israel out there all acting on their own. They had interests. We had interests. We were working together to do this.
- [32:32]
Terrence Bates
This.
- [32:32]
Sean Davis
It's been odd to me to see so many people recoil that. That reality being laid out like that didn't happen or. Oh, you're not allowed to say that. Well, multiple people said that. I think we should have an open conversation about how we're doing things in the Middle east and in whose interests they are.
- [32:51]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, well, and by the way, you mentioned this clip. It just happened with the Chancellor of Germany, so let's go ahead and play it. 4:37.
- [33:00]
Anna Paulina Luna
Israel forced your hand to launch these strikes against Iran. Did that not pull the United States into this war?
- [33:06]
Donald Trump
No, I might have forced their hand. You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first. They were going to attack. If we didn't do it, they were going to attack first. I felt strongly about that. And we have great negotiators, great people, people that do this very successfully and have done it all their lives, very successful. And based on the way the negotiation was going, I think they were going to attack first, and I didn't want that to happen. So, if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand, but Israel was ready and we were ready, and we've had a very, very powerful impact.
- [33:49]
Charlie Kirk
All right, so I'm going to throw it to Blake now, because I just put you on the spot. Sean. Blake. Mike, what do you make of this? Is it just a complex situation where both. Both things can sort of be true at the same time?
- [34:00]
Blake
Well, I don't know. I think, truthfully, what I lean towards with what the President said is the President very much never wants to suggest he was influenced. He's always the driver of events, he's always the pilot of actions, and in a lot of ways, he is. He's such a active force throughout everything. But at the same time, I, I do feel like, you know, Rubio didn't say that for no reason, but it comes within layers here because it could be that the President got on board with a. This, some sort of war with Iran months ago. I mean, we were obviously building up towards it for ages, and then there was disagreement on specific timing, specific actions. And, you know, I don't. I don't really Want to hard commit on a specific answer? Because I suspect a lot of stuff will come out in the days and weeks, months, years to come. This will be dissected over and over again. And if you looked at, like the Iraq war when it happened, there was a lot of false stuff about the Iraq war when it unfolded, and we only really came to understand it years later.
- [35:03]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. And I would say this. Just because something is in that something is good for Israel doesn't mean that's the reason why we did it. So America could make a decision that is that our leaders determine is in our national security interest and it might be good for Israel, but that might not be the driving force. Right. So both things could, in theory, be true at the same time. I wanted to play this clip really quick, Sean, just because this is a offensive action taken by Israel where they were meeting, gathering the religious leaders to pick a new ayatollah, a new supreme leader, and they apparently have not figured out Zoom yet. So 394.
- [35:45]
Marco Rubio
I'm told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis just struck the Supreme Council gathering where the Iranians were meeting
- [35:54]
Sean Davis
to choose a new supreme leader.
- [35:57]
Marco Rubio
This is a significant development. And again, speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war. They just targeted the meeting in Tehran, Iran, where what's left of the leadership was gathering to choose a new supreme leader.
- [36:12]
Blake
I feel like they could have. You know, we're usually against mail voting. I think I would have, if I were Iranian, I would have approved an absentee postal voting.
- [36:20]
Charlie Kirk
An absentee one.
- [36:22]
Sean Davis
I mean, should have been an email.
- [36:24]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, exactly. I mean, but it goes to show the, the lengths at which Mossad has infiltrated the Iranian infrastructure inside the country. They seem to know where these guys are at at all time. There's that famous clip, I don't know if you've seen it, Sean, where Ahmadinejad is talking about they, you know, they developed this, this task force to go after Mossad and root out Mossad within the Iranian ranks, only to find out that the head of that task force was a Mossad agent. So, I mean, whoops. Yeah. I mean, listen, you don't have to love this conflict. You don't have to be in support of it. But, you know, hat tip where it's due, credit where it's due, the talents are on full display here. You have, you just have to sort of acknowledge that much.
- [37:08]
Sean Davis
The one thing I actually love about the. The Israelis in the Brits is unlike us, they kind of never abandon actual human intelligence. We seem overly reliant on technology and surveillance. And they've just decided, you know, both the Brits and the Israelis, no, we're going to go in and have people as deep cover assets for decades. There's something we could learn from that.
- [37:29]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, I totally agree. You made another really good point here, though, Sean. You talked about when we built the Iraqi Embassy, which has come under fire now. It was back in 2004, 2005, spent all this money building up an embassy there, and now it's. And we've done this throughout the region, and now it's a sitting duck that we have to defend. What's your thinking here? Why was that strategically, a mistake? How should we position ourselves in the Middle East?
- [37:57]
Sean Davis
Yeah. So a lot of our conversation about what's going on in Iran has been in the vacuum of what's happening there right now. And obviously there are reasons for that. You can't go back in time and reverse things you've already done. But the question I ask is, why? How are we so vulnerable to Iranian attack over there? It's because we have bases in installations everywhere. And as I wrote in that tweet, when I worked for Tom Coburn in 2005, one of the first amendments he made me do as a staffer was one defunding the Iraqi Embassy, US Embassy in Iraq, which hadn't been built yet, something like a billion or a billion and a half dollars. And he said, look, as soon as you do that, you are permanently in that country for 50 or 100 years. You're guaranteeing that you're going to be vulnerable, that you're going to have bases, that we're going to be surrounded by people who hate us. It's a similar issue in Libya, by the way, which I think is a good cautionary example. Gaddafi disarmed in good faith under Bush, and then along in the next term comes Obama, and Hillary decides to depose him. They have him thrown out and murdered. And then what happens a couple years later? We end up because of a secret CIA outpost in there which was helping to traffic arms. They claim it was to take them off the streets, but helping to traffic arms. And then we end up seeing our ambassador, two Navy SEALs, and an intel expert from State getting killed. It is a logical result when you are so far flung, you have so many people and installations and places surrounded by people that hate us, that you're going to be at risk. And maybe we should be taking a look going forward rather than having to respond and go to war anytime someone over there threatens us. Maybe we just shouldn't be in a position in a lot of these places where we're so easily threatened.
- [39:34]
Charlie Kirk
Final question, Sean. There's been much made about our munitions stockpiles. Are you hearing anything? President Trump said we could? You know, we have basically unlimited. Is that what you're hearing, or is there a certain type of missile that we're more concerned about?
- [39:49]
Sean Davis
Well, yeah, this is actually one of the major reasons so many of us were opposed to what we were doing in Ukraine. Just giving all of our stockpiles to them without thinking, hey, what's going to happen to us if we actually need those for our national interests, not just Ukraine's. I think we're starting to see some of that now. I do worry about a lot of interceptor missiles, what I call defensive missiles, thaads that are used to intercept and stop incoming Iranian missiles. I worry that our allies over there, uae, Qatar, Bahrain, the Saudis, the Israelis, I worry about us running low on those a lot more than I worry about us running low on offensive munitions.
- [40:30]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, and I actually asked, you know, how many of these missiles we can produce a month. I was like, we need to ramp it up. And apparently we've signed a contract with Boeing recently to double the output. But our current output is 2 to 4. No, our current output is like 60amonth. I mean, that's max, max, max. Like 60, 70amonth. So. And they're flying, you know, $20,000 drones at us that we're taking out with a 2 million dollar missile. And you know, the maths. The maths don't math. Sean Davis, excellent analysis as always, Sean. I must follow at the Federalist as well as on X. You're always throwing a wrench into the gears and I love it because the contrary thinking is super, super important right now. Sean Davis, excellent work. Thank you. We'll see you soon.
- [41:18]
Sean Davis
Thank you, sir.

- [42:18]
Blake
Let's get a few of them. Christopher said, hello, Charlie. Kirk show. The argument has not been made strongly, but Islamist Iran is the mortal enemy of the U.S. yes, it's too bad Reagan didn't destroy the Ayatollah's regime in the 1980s. Now Trump has to clean up Jimmy Carter's giant mess. How about Lindsey says, I appreciate Marco's response and explanation. That was enough for me. I trust President Trump. Mark says, Charlie would not have questioned Trump. You guys are off the rails. I assure you we are doing our best to communicate how we think Charlie would have felt through all this. We, of course, can't know he's not with us.
- [43:00]
Charlie Kirk
Well, and listen, I walked with Charlie alongside, so did you, Blake, about the way Charlie handled Operation Midnight Hammer, the lead up to that, privately, he obviously expressed his reticence, but he said honestly, he said privately and publicly to me, he said, listen, if Trump decides to go, we're gonna have his back. Okay? I mean, that Charlie worked his butt off, probably harder than anybody else in this country besides Trump himself, to get Trump elected. And listen, I think that we are not questioning Trump's leadership here, his instincts. But listen, anytime you go into a regime change situation, there are going to be unintended consequences. And to act like there's not gonna be unintended consequences, I think is foolish. But we have his back. And now that we're going, we're praying for success. We're praying for the security and safety of our troops. I woke up this morning at 2:30 because my daughter woke me up. And I just literally started praying for our troops because I'm, you know, I was feeling anxiety about it, and I want them to be safe. You know, there's six dead servicemen. So listen, we're trying to be. We're trying to honor the spirit of Charlie, but obviously we don't know how he would have reacted. Anybody tells you he would have, you know, he's not here right now.
- [44:15]
Blake
Yeah, we have some more. Kathleen says, I strongly support President Trump's operation in Iran. The ICBMs the Iranian regime was working on were intended for the US And President Trump is good at multitasking and working hard to help the American people. He has already done a number of things to help the economy. And she also apparently sent an email about possibly moving to South Dakota. I'm gonna have to read that one. I'll get back to you on that one. Kathleen. I am of course a big fan of that. So several others. I think the most common one is
- [44:49]
Charlie Kirk
a lot of support.
- [44:50]
Blake
A lot of we trust President Trump, which is what we said is generally what Charlie's point of view would be. We think, which is he would have argued against this going up to it. But if the president heard him and the president would listen to him, if the president listened to him and did it anyway, Charlie would give him the grace and trust to say he knows things I don't. He has a good record on these. I think that's his posture would be
- [45:12]
Charlie Kirk
President Trump has had a good record on not getting us embroiled in forever wars. Okay. Gotta give him a little leash, little room to maneuver here. He's proven himself to be a very adept operator on the world stage. So here's what I wanna get into now. There's a couple different storylines. There's the oil. How much China is relying on the oil. Maybe we'll get to that in an hour or two if we have a segment. But let's just go around the horn and get the European reaction to the Iranian strikes because they are varied and it's kind of surprising, honestly.
- [45:44]
Blake
I want to start with the honorary Europeans of Canada because that is the one I find the funniest. We've had a lot of friction with.
- [45:51]
Charlie Kirk
They're all last year.
- [45:52]
Blake
Carney has definitely tried to turn himself into basically the foil. Yeah, a foil of Trump, the avatar of being his critic. Like he's talking about, oh, we've realigned. Like we can't rely on these old alliances. He's shifting towards China. And then as soon as this broke out, he puts out a statement that's basically, we support America's operation.
- [46:11]
Charlie Kirk
Well, let's start with another one then. To German chancellor was just in the White house of President Trump. 438 we are on the same page
- [46:19]
Donald Trump
in terms of getting this terrible regime in Tehran away. And we will talk about the day after what will happen then if they are out.
- [46:33]
Charlie Kirk
Macron had some strong words. 439 Our deterrent is both robust and efficient.
- [46:42]
Donald Trump
All those who would be bold enough to strike at France must be aware of the unbearable cost that it would take on them.
- [46:57]
Charlie Kirk
So he's talking tough. Macron, the French, they always like to talk tough. And then we'll see how it really plays out. But hey, broadly supportive. Keir Starmer is on the list for Trump right Now, here it is. 444.
- [47:13]
Donald Trump
Mr. Speaker, we all remember the mistakes of Iraq and we have learned those lessons. Any UK actions must always have a lawful basis and a viable thought through plan.
- [47:35]
Charlie Kirk
I say again, we were not involved
- [47:37]
Donald Trump
in the initial strikes on Iran and we will not join offensive action now.
- [47:43]
Charlie Kirk
And by the way, so Keir Starmer was not giving access to American base or UK bases for American strikes. They have since reversed that decision, but it was with a lot of hemming and hawing and hand wringing and President Trump is not too happy about it. For 40.
- [48:02]
Donald Trump
By the way, I'm not happy with the UK either. That island that you read about, the lease, okay, he made it, for whatever reason, he made a lease of the island. Somebody came and took it away from him and, and it's taken three, four days for us to work out where we can land there. It would have been much more convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours. So we are very surprised. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.
- [48:33]
Charlie Kirk
He went on to repeat that, by the way. But perhaps the most, I don't know, annoying NATO partner would be Spain. Spain denies this. 443. Spain denies US military use of its bases for Iran attack. The leftist government in Madrid said the war against Iran violated both international law and the agreement between Spain and the United States for use of air bases. Now we actually have like I think two or three in Spain. I know Roda's one. These are really complex installations there in Spain. So this is a big deal. President Trump is now threatening to embargo all business that the US does with. He's very angry, he's very upset.
- [49:15]
Blake
I will say I had this thought at first. He's known to Admire President William McKinley who for those of you who don't remember high school U.S. history, fought the Spanish American war to get Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines and Cuba.
- [49:31]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, well, and so what's interesting here is that Spain just, this is the same leftist government that just, just, I guess legalized essentially a million. They said it was gonna be 500,000 immigrants. It's gonna be more like a million. So welcome to the new Spain. This leftist, you know, elections matter, they have consequences. Spain's about to find out. So all of this is very, very interesting to see the varied responses. I'm grateful, oddly enough to the Chancellor of Germany for being very clear minded, very, very firm on this. And actually also the mark. What's it, Ruta? The of NATO has been very, very supportive. So lots of good alliances forming, but a few that are more suspect. We're gonna keep our eyes on our alliances. We turn our attention to Texas at the top of the next hour. Ken Paxus, Ken Paxton joins us then.
- [50:31]
Donald Trump
Foreign.
- [50:37]
Terrence Bates
Welcome back to this REAL America's Voice news break. I'm Terrence Bates. President Trump is hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House right now. The two answered questions from the media in the oval office about 30 minutes ago or so. During that sit down, the duo addressed everything from energy policy to the ongoing crisis in Iran to the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, it was Iran and the German cooperation with the United States in this campaign that dominated the conversation.
- [51:05]
Donald Trump
We'll obviously be talking a little bit about Iran today and he's been helping us out. We've been very nice actually, and that is coming along as you see very well. They have no navy, it's been knocked out. They have no air force, that's been knocked out. They have no air detection as well been knocked out. Their radar has been knocked out and just about everything's been knocked out. So we'll see how we do. But we're doing, we're doing very well. We have a great military and they're doing a fantastic job.
- [51:39]
Terrence Bates
Meantime, it has been a busy day of dueling attacks between the U.S. israeli forces and Iran. Early today, Iran hit the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia's capital with a drone after allied airstrikes pounded Iran's capital overnight. Plus, the war is quickly growing into a regional conflict as Israel just launched a ground offensive into southern Lebanon to deal with Iran backed Hezbollah forces. Meantime, in retaliation for the US Airstrikes, Iran continues to target neighboring countries where US Troops are stationed. The Islamic regime also targeting infrastructure critical to the world's oil and natural gas production. From President Trump on down to Secretary of War Pete Hagseth and the secretary of State, everyone is clear eyed about the mission.
- [52:25]
Donald Trump
Right from the beginning. We projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that. We'll do it. Whatever somebody said today, they said, oh well, if the president wants to do it really quickly after that he'll get bored. I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this.
- [52:44]
Marco Rubio
Right now we're not postured for ground forces, but obviously the president has those options. He's never going to rule out anything. But right now our focus is on the destruction of their ballistic missile launchers, their ballistic missile stockpiles and their ballistic missile manufacturing capability, as well as their one way attract drones and their navy because of the threat it poses to global shipping.
- [53:03]
Terrence Bates
And it's a slightly different tone on Capitol Hill after lawmakers were briefed on the war, from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on down to CIA Director John Radcliffe and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We're also hearing that another briefing is in place for later today for one House Speaker Mike Johnson, emphasizing that this weekend's attack was a defensive operation. Those are his words.
- [53:26]
Charlie Kirk
Israel was determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support. Why? Because Israel faced what they deemed to be an existential threat. Iran was building missiles at a radical in a rapid clip to the point where our allies in the region could not keep up. As you know, Iran has long vowed to take out Israel, wipe it off the map, and they have long seen
- [53:55]
Ken Paxton
that as a critical threat to their very existence.
- [53:59]
Terrence Bates
Speaker Johnson says intelligence determined in Israeli strike would have caused threats against U.S. personnel and assets in the region. As a result, the US Joined the Israelis in order to try and limit the potential impact on Americans in the Middle East. Back home, voters in several states are headed to the polls right now for primaries. While Texas Senate primary is arguably the race that's being most closely watched nationally, voters in North Carolina and Arkansas are also at the polls deciding who will represent Democrats and Republicans in general elections for the U.S. senate this coming November. In Texas, incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn facing a challenge from former state Attorney General Ken Paxton and current Congressman Wesley Hunt. On the Democrat side, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett looking to beat out State Representative James Talarico for the right to run in November. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is also facing a primary challenge as he looks to keep his job. However, he is expected to easily win today's primary. We, of course, will have the results as soon as they come in here on Real America's Voice. Make sure that you stay tuned throughout the day, particularly this evening as those results come in. Real America's Voice, again, your primary day source for information and for results. That's going to do it for us here on Real America's Voice. We appreciate you being here with us. We're going to take a quick break and then get you back to your regularly scheduled programming.
- [55:41]
Charlie Kirk
All right. Hour two of the Charlie Kirk show is underway. We are joined on set by Tyler Boyer, COO of Turning Point Action. We're going to be going in depth into Texas because tonight is the night, the big primary and we have the man himself, Attorney General Ken Paxton, running for U.S. senate in the great state of Texas. Welcome back to the show, Mr. Attorney General. It's a big day for you. What are we seeing? What are we thinking?
- [56:06]
Ken Paxton
You know, so good to be back. I can remember talking to Charlie about this over a year ago, and it's hard to believe that this day is actually here. I think it's going to be a good day. I think people have grown weary of a senator who is been claiming to be Republican but hasn't accomplished anything for our state. I've literally traveled the state since April 8. I've asked every single person, whether it was one person or 3,000 people. Can you name one great accomplishment of John Cornyn? And even his supporters can't come up with an answer. It means it's time for a change. I think the voters are going to do it today.
- [56:39]
Tyler Boyer
Well, Ken. Mr. Attorney General, this has been a David versus Goliath fight. This is the most expensive race in. In Texas history, I think, primary race. The primary race that's ever been spent,
- [56:53]
Ken Paxton
I think, U.S. history for a primary.
- [56:56]
Tyler Boyer
Yeah, it's. It's totally insane, the amount of money that's been spent by the establishment to, to target you. And yet every poll is showing you, every single poll showing you, you know, not just a little bit ahead, not just competitive, but pretty significantly ahead. You know, what. What does this say? I mean, just speak a little bit to this about this fight, because nobody really understands, I think, on the outside and across the country that, you know, when you actually tabulate all the money that the campaign that Cornyn spent, all the outside group money, it's probably close to $100 million that's been spent against you. And yet the people of Texas are still coming out, you know, big behind Paxton. So what has that fight been like and where do you go from here to help kind of unify the entire state of Texas and the rest of the country so that kind of thing never happens again.
- [57:49]
Ken Paxton
Yeah, it's pretty shocking. I think he has bet close to 100 million. We've spent around 3 million. That's quite a disparity. Even if you're bad at math, that's a big number. I think part of it is one of the things I looked at when I got in the race was Texas is not like a lot of. It's just so big. And so getting name ID is not easy. Even if you.
- [58:11]
Sean Davis
You're.
- [58:11]
Ken Paxton
You've done really good things. If you're a congressman in Texas, just one of 38. If you're a state senator, you're just one of 31. If you're a House member, just one of 150. So it's really difficult to take that next step against somebody that's been in public office for over 40 years. So I looked at that when I tested it. My name ID back in February last year was 90%. John's was in the 70s. So I knew even if he outspent me now, did I think he would outspend me 33 to 1?
- [58:38]
Charlie Kirk
No.
- [58:38]
Ken Paxton
But I felt like somebody with name ID had to run. And it wasn't going to be somebody from Congress, it wasn't going to be somebody from the Texas legislature because they just don't have a name id. It's literally that simple. You have to have the name id. And because I'm in office and I can keep working and keep talking about it, it's allowed me to stay fresh in the minds of voters despite the tremendous number of negative ads and the number of false ads that he's written about himself claiming to maga conservative, pro border, all that, you know, pro border, all of it was false.
- [59:11]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. Ken, I remember talking with you and when this whole kind of race was gathering steam, you said to me, you said, watch, he's gonna vote lockstep with the President. All of a sudden he's gonna be Mr. Maga General. I mean, it was soon as you announced, you knew this was gonna be kind of the pattern he was gonna walk. But here's what else is interesting, is that you are getting outspent 31. You have ads on TV every day, right? I mean, this is pretty clear. I mean, it's multiple, multiple times a day. Just a deluge of anti Paxton media. Right now I've seen.
- [59:49]
Ken Paxton
I was watching Fox News on Sunday because of the efforts of the war, and I saw three ads in a row that were, John Cornyn, one positive, two different negative ads on me. And that was happening all day long. So, you know, what's that like? It's like. I mean, I think it almost wears people out. It's too much. I mean, he's doing more than getting a message out. It's overkill. And I think people have grown weary of it. It's, it's, it's obviously it, it's helped close something because originally I was at 25 points ahead and because I didn't have the money to compete. It's, it's closed some of the gap, but I don't think it's closed the gap to the degree that they expected it to because there's, there's too many Educated voters. The people he called radicals two days ago, he called them radicals that are voting in the Republican primary. Those are the people that actually know what's going on, and they know what he's done.
- [60:45]
Charlie Kirk
Well, I have. Go ahead, Tyler.
- [60:48]
Tyler Boyer
I was just gonna say, I mean, this. This has the. All of the elements that we're walking into to be one of the greatest upsets in establishment history. And again, no one is more deserving of it than you that's actually fought on the side of conservatives. There's no question when people that know you and have done any investigative work know that you would be a far superior vote in the U.S. senate than John Cornyn. But, you know, we look at this and the lessons that come out of this, because everybody that I've seen talk about this goes, oh, well, you know, you know, we might have to spend money to help Paxton win in a general. And, you know, that is such a silly argument because you look at this hundred million dollars, a fraction of that $100 million is what it takes to win. Win in general.
- [61:37]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. How much. How much money was poured in from outside pacs and the NRSC here.

Tyler Boyer
And so, and so this looks at this tells you everything. This race is going to probably be the heart and soul. Your race is the heart and soul of the future of the conservative movement. I think this is probably next to Donald Trump shocking the world in 2016. This is probably the second biggest shock maybe in the history of modern American politics.
- [62:04]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. And here I have two questions off the back of this point that Tyler's making for the Attorney general here. Can you win without a runoff? And question two, if you have to go to a runoff, does polling show how much of a. Of Wesley Hunt's vote you would accumulate?
- [62:22]
Ken Paxton
So, first of all, let me just say this. Winning, being a sitting of a center, if you'll go back, because of the way the campaign finance laws are set up, and I was limited to 7,000 a person, only half could be used in the primary, 3,500. Think about how much, how many people I had to get to just to do one ad in Texas, which is, you know, three, four, five million dollars.
- [62:42]
Charlie Kirk
And yet.
- [62:42]
Ken Paxton
And you look at incumbency, senatorial incumbency. You go back 40, 50 years, how many senators have lost? You got Richard Lugar in 2012 in a smaller state who was completely, you know, had gone left. And then second, you had Mike Lee winning in a convention state where you don't have to spend much money. So you're right. It does not Happen very much. As far as winning in a. Not having a runoff, I've looked at the numbers. It's not impossible. It's hard because what people don't realize, there's eight people in my race, so everybody. So I have to. I tell people it's seven on one basketball and I gotta outscore everybody. And they're all trying to score and they're all playing defense, too. So it's, it's not just that. It's, you know, two other people. There's. There's seven other people that I have to outscore all of them. But I've looked at the numbers and I've seen polls after early voting that suggests that I'm in the 40s, that Cohen's in the low 30s, that Wesley's in the teens with about 13% undecided. So if the right number of undecided break my way, and if the right. If that trend continues through election day and the right number of people from Wesley, because he's lost a few points over the last couple days, has corn and pounded him, and it's not impossible, it's just challenging to get to 50% plus one with eight people.
- [63:59]
Donald Trump
Right.
- [64:00]
Charlie Kirk
And do we have any idea. Well, how about we put it this way?
- [64:04]
Donald Trump
Way.
- [64:05]
Charlie Kirk
Where do people go? What's the action item? We can get into the Democrat side when you leave. But what's the action item, Ken? What do they need to do right now?
- [64:15]
Ken Paxton
Right now, I'm just telling, if you haven't voted, go vote. We still have till 7, 7pm Central Time. If family members haven't voted, go vote. And then encourage all your friends to go. But it sounds like a small job. I mean, I mean, it still may be a lot of hassle for you, but reality is it literally could make the difference between having to go into a runoff and not having to go into a runoff. I always tell people from the beginning of time, you know, in order to change power, people used to have to fight with their hands and they had to throw rocks and then arrows and then guns, bombs. Today, all we have to do is show up to vote and get our friends to go vote. It's a lot more. It's a lot easier than it's been ever. And so we just need to go do it.
- [64:53]
Charlie Kirk
Well, don't believe the negative attacks. Ken Paxton can win the general and win it handily and easily. That's basically the attack against you, Ken. It's pretty funny. I've absorbed a lot of them. We've got your back. You're going to be a great next US Senator from the state of Texas. And so go with God today. Win big and hopefully avoid the runoff. But if not, we got your back there too.
- [65:15]
Tyler Boyer
God bless you, Ken.
- [65:17]
Charlie Kirk
We'll be right back. All right, welcome back. We are going to go around the horn in Texas. All of our endorsements. We are also going to be doing a stream tonight about Texas. The it's going to be the big one. All eyes are on Texas. First, I want to tell you about why refi private student loan debt in the United states totals about $300 billion and 45 billion of that is labeled as distress. Why refi refinances distressed or default to private student loans that nobody else is going to touch. They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay. They will work with each individual borrower borrower to come up with a specific solution for you. You will not be calling a faceless call center. They can reduce your monthly payment by thousands of dollars over time at least and guarantees interest rates under 6%. So check them out. They are amazing, amazing people. Why refi Y R E F Y or call them at 888-yrefi34. We're all in with those guys. Amazing supporters of the movement of you, of students, all the things. Okay, so Tyler, let's go around the horn in Texas. What are we watching?
- [66:30]
Tyler Boyer
Let's lay out the following of Kim Paxton. How this matters. Texas is at a crossroads that some states have entered into which is are you going more maga, Are you going more conservative long term or are you going to go establishment? It and the Ken Paxton race is really important because if Paxton is successful, which it looks like he should be, and they make him a US Senator, Texas is going to the. The underlying Bush control, you know.
- [66:58]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.
- [66:58]
Tyler Boyer
Control arm is basically annihilated.
- [67:01]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.
- [67:01]
Tyler Boyer
And this is very similar to Arizona with McCain. Arizona had to fight this big war basically and. And the McCain influence dissipated. This, the Paxton race is really important because if Paxton loses, it gives a revitalization to the Bush wing. This sets up all the rest of the races because there's so many other races that are happening in Texas today that are super, super critical. Probably the second most important next to the Paxton race is Dan Crenshaw's district. So the redistricting happened, districts didn't change too much. In this district that was mostly a majority. All the same for Dan Crenshaw. But a gentleman named Steve Toth who's in the state legislature right now, who's really well liked, has been a leader on that, on that front, decided, hey, I'm gonna run against Dan Crenshaw. Even though this, you know, seems like a near impossible task. He's really well liked, really well supported by the donor community that has, like, had some real questions for Dan Crenshaw on the positions he's taken. And polling is showing Steve Toth within the realm of possibility of being able to defeat Dan Crenshaw.
- [68:10]
Blake
So if you're in, we're gonna, we're gonna call you out because some people don't know their district. If you're north of Houston, if you're in the Woodlands, if you're in spring
- [68:17]
Tyler Boyer
in Texas, it's centered around the Woodlands. So if you're anywhere near the Woodlands, in, in north Houston, your primary matter, your primary matters, always matters.
- [68:26]
Blake
Wherever you are in Texas, you have
- [68:28]
Tyler Boyer
an opportunity to replace Dan Crenshaw with Steve Toth, who will be a Freedom Caucus level, likely, likely congressman, which is a big, huge deal.
- [68:40]
Charlie Kirk
That's a huge change.
- [68:41]
Tyler Boyer
So between Paxton and Toth, those are the two races to keep an eye on in Texas today, if those both go positively. For both those gentlemen today, Texas has turned a corner that's heading a lot more conservatively in the Republican Party.
- [68:55]
Charlie Kirk
Texas went for Trump jump, I think 13 or 14 points. So it was a, it was a, a big win in Texas. A lot of people were predicting like four points, five point, six points, and it ends up going, you know, 14, almost 15 points.
- [69:08]
Tyler Boyer
Well, it's, it's funny you bring up this number. So the number to look for tonight for everyone. And when we're on the broadcast tonight, I'll be dipping out early, but we'll have some Texas people that are on the broadcast night because we're live streaming tonight on the Charlie Kirk channels about, you know, evaluating the returns if Paxton wins by five or more points against Cornyn, but still has to go to our runoff. But if it's five or more points, that's. That spells doomsday for corn and they should stop spending all the money. They've already spent a hundred million dollars on this man and they haven't been able to get him within five points. That's it. That's it. Now, if it's less than five points for Paxton, that's a problem because they're going to keep spending.
- [69:47]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, and that's, that's a huge, huge pivot point. Right. So are the outside groups the nrsc, because if you watch Fox News or anything, by the way, all the senators get on and they say we need, we need Cornyn. Right. And that makes sense. It's their colleague and that sort of thing. But it's also NRSC money that's coming in which could be spent on other races at slf.
- [70:07]
Tyler Boyer
Yeah, the Senate Leadership Fund. And so yeah, there's a couple of other important races that are happening. John Bonk, who's running, also a good conservative, 221 like likely he's going to be a really good representative in Texas. Obviously you have Congressman Brandon, he's a Brandon Gill type. So Brandon Gill has endorsed him. So if you like Congressman Brandon Gill again, he's probably one of the most in your face Freedom caucusesque. Congressman John Bonk is one of those guys. Another, another good guy that's running is Jace Yarbrough. Jace is in a really tough primary again because Texas has this runoff role. This is Congressional District 32. Another similar young guy, great family, who's going to be an incredible representation of that. Couple other statewides that are, that are really important. A couple other statewides that are really important. You have, have Don Huffines that's running for comptroller. Don Huffines, if you remember, ran against Abbott a few years ago. He's been a great supporter of turning points for a long, long time. He got pummeled by Abbott and had actually had resources and money. Got pummeled by Abbott, but stuck in there. He was one of the best liberty minded members of the legislature for many, many years. He was kind of the face of the opposition to the establishment for a.
- [71:38]
Charlie Kirk
He was big on abolishing property tax. If I remember.
- [71:42]
Tyler Boyer
Don has been the face of anti establishment activity in Texas for the last 15, 20 years minimum. His whole family has. They've put all, all of their resources against the establishment at great cost to them. And he's still in this, he's in this thing. He could win comptroller over with over 50%.
- [72:02]
Blake
I have bad news for you, Tyler. Today's a great day for you to learn. It's usually just pronounced controller. Even though they throw that P in there for no reason.
- [72:09]
Tyler Boyer
Oh, it's controller.
- [72:10]
Charlie Kirk
Okay.
- [72:10]
Blake
I don't know why.
- [72:12]
Charlie Kirk
What about the Chip Roy race?
- [72:13]
Tyler Boyer
I'll take it. I'll take that.
- [72:15]
Charlie Kirk
What about Chip Roy?
- [72:16]
Tyler Boyer
You have Chip Roy. Chip Roy is in. So you have this race right now and everybody's talking about the Attorney General's race. There are three major players that you see in this, in this race. You have Chip Roy and then you have the gentleman that was endorsed by Ken Paxton. And then you have his name's Aaron Reets. And then you have another guy named Mays Middleton. Mays has been described, he's going out and saying a lot of pro Trump things, but he's been described as being friendly with the Trump associate. I'm sorry, not Trump with the Bush, the bad Bush side of the state of Texas. And Chip has been on the Freedom Caucus supported by the Freedom Fund, all of that. And then you have again, Aaron, who's been endorsed by Ken. All the polling is showing that this race is coming down to between Mays and Chip Roy.
- [73:16]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, it's going to be a nail biter.
- [73:18]
Tyler Boyer
So, you know, now the likelihood is it's still going to go runoff. But the fact is is that it's likely that Chip, Chip is your greatest competition to Maze. We like Chip a lot more because of his background with the Freedom Caucus. He's been the champion for the SAVE act and that's really important.
- [73:37]
Charlie Kirk
Yep. And good on the border as well. We have Annapolina Luna joining us next. Don't go anywhere.
- [73:58]
Terrence Bates
Terrance Bates here with your Real America's Voice news break. We appreciate you being here with us. Voters in several states are headed to the polls right now for primaries. While Texas's Senate primary is arguably the race that's being watched most closely around the country, voters in North Carolina and Arkansas are also at the polls deciding who will represent Democrats and Republicans in general elections for the U.S. senate. There in Texas, incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn facing a challenge from former state Attorney General Ken Paxton as well as current Congressman Wesley Hunt. On the Democrat side, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is looking to beat out State Representative James Talarico for the right to run in November. Texas Governor Greg Abbott also facing a primary challenge as he looks to keep his job. However, he's expected to easily win today's primary. The video recordings of former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary's depositions before the House Oversight Committee are finally out. If you haven't watched them yet, here's just a snippet of the 42nd President's six hour long testimony.
- [75:02]
Anna Paulina Luna
The witnesses who testified in the Epstein cases that Epstein said you quote, like them young. Why would Epstein say that about you? Are you asking his opinion, asking him
- [75:13]
Sean Davis
to think about why Mr. Epstein would say something?
- [75:16]
Anna Paulina Luna
Why would Epstein say that at all? She's asking you to try to be in Mr. Epstein's mind and guess at
- [75:21]
Charlie Kirk
what Mr. Epstein would have thought about.
- [75:23]
Anna Paulina Luna
Flynn likes them young. Referring to girls.
- [75:29]
Donald Trump
First of all, that's not true.
- [75:35]
Anna Paulina Luna
What's not true?
- [75:37]
Donald Trump
That I have any interest in underage.
- [75:44]
Anna Paulina Luna
I didn't say underage. I said, I said young.
- [75:46]
Donald Trump
But it's still not true.
- [75:48]
Terrence Bates
That was South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace grilling the former president. We'll have much more video from the deposition throughout the day here on Real America's Voice. President Trump hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House right now. The two answered questions from the media in the Oval Office office about an hour and a half ago. During the sit down, the duo addressed everything from energy policy to the ongoing crisis in Iran. That's a quick check of your headlines.

Charlie Kirk

- [77:45]
Tyler Boyer
She's coming.
- [77:45]
Charlie Kirk
But we could, we have. Oh, we, we do have her. All right. Anna Paulina Luna joins us now. Congresswoman, welcome back. Welcome back to the show. You had a very interesting, let's just say time with the Clintons. You were up in New York and you got to be in on that meeting. We now have video clips from that. Why don't you just take us inside the room and give us a sense of what it was like? I mean, that's quite the pair you were discussing.
- [78:16]
Anna Paulina Luna
Yeah. It's not every day that you get to depose A former secretary and president. But ultimately our sole objective for this is, is getting justice for the victims. And I think a lot of people, to include ourselves, have been rightfully frustrated because at a certain point we were promised names. We never received those names. And then also there's this aspect of what we found out. What I really helped to uncover is that a lot of the co conspirators that were given these plea deals were actually some of the women. So these women engaged in what I would say is human rights abuses. They were responsible for trafficking. And then also too, you have a lot of the doctors and physicians that were essentially let off that kind of knew about what was happening. So there's clearly more to be investigated in this. But then also the aspect of, okay, well, how much did Epstein circle of influence know about what was happening? We saw that the Clintons specifically with the secretary, you know, had a lot of connections there via the Clinton Foundation. Although according to her deposition and according to a lot of the statements made by President Clinton, she was somewhat insulated in, I guess, her direct contact. But the president, President Bill Clinton specifically, did seem to acknowledge and admit that it was his relationship with Jeffrey to include glean. That actually kind of is a reason why he should be brought in to testify. And so it was very evident that Secretary Clinton did not want to be there. She, as you saw in some of that footage, lost her temper a few times and was not so. Not so, I don't want to say nice, but just not as cooperative. And they were very difficult to get in. And then you saw kind of when President Clinton came in the next day, it was definitely kind of a shift. He was a lot more, I guess, you know, a lot more forward in his answering. And it did not appear that he was trying to hide the ball. But as you also saw, there was a lot of questioning that, you know, even with. With the secretary, when we were posing questions, a lot of their communication between husband and wife is considered protected communication privilege. So there's a lot there that we could not have answered as well.
- [80:27]
Charlie Kirk
Well, and you know, it was just. I had. I have to say it was just a bit. I thought it was really interesting. I think a lot of people had this experience watching these clips because you see President Clinton kind of still jovial. You could still see all the elements that made him a really talented politician. But he's getting asked about the most salacious details about, you know, it felt very 90s.
- [80:51]
Blake
And as the joke was made, like, of course, we're bombing a country in The Middle east right now of Bill Clinton is testifying.
- [80:57]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. Meanwhile, Hillary's, like, slamming tables like it's Benghazi all over again. I mean, it was very interesting. Okay, I have to play this one because I just found it funny. And I want to get your reaction for being in the room. This had to make you at least somewhat uncomfortable. Apl384.
- [81:15]
Donald Trump
I never saw anybody do anything wrong. I thought they were flight attendants.
- [81:22]
Anna Paulina Luna
Do flight attendants typically wear tank tops and jeans?
- [81:29]
Donald Trump
They don't all wear uniforms on private planes.
- [81:34]
Charlie Kirk
Okay, so there was a lot of this, like, who are you getting? Why were you getting massages from young women? Did you find that strange? And he's cut, you know, and then at one point, somebody shows him a picture of him with some young woman. And. And the lawyer tries to take it out of his hands, and he grabs it back, and he's got this smirk on his face. And I'm going, dude, you're getting deposed by Congress right now. You know, I don't know. I just. I have to wonder, what was that like to see a former sitting US President being asked these types of questions? Did it make you uncomfortable?
- [82:08]
Anna Paulina Luna
I mean, look, I straight up asked him about his trip to Africa, where we know that there was one of the victims on that flight. And I should have asked him about Virginia Giuffre's commentary about him going to the island and when you're sitting there, and obviously no one is above the law, but also, too, part of what I have, and it's become very evident and apparent, and I even confronted both Secretary Clinton and President Clinton with the facts that Jeffrey Epstein was an intel asset. I asked specifically with Secretary Clinton, which he said it's quite possible he was running a honeypaw operation, with which I think is very, very evident at this point. But then, you know, kind of referencing, well, which countries would have a specific interest in, you know, figuring out what President Clinton was doing. Right. And I think just kind of the whole aspect of, you know, he. Once I presented him with the alias and the. And the other identity that Epstein had, you know, he kind of saw that, and you could tell that he was shocked. But then also, too, it goes into kind of like an even more. More weirder space, I guess, because at one point, President Clinton was asked about, did he think that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? And he was like, well, I think he finally got caught. I really don't know. He was uncomfortable. The attorneys didn't really want him to answer. And then on the flip side, Secretary Clinton when she was confronted with a similar question, she had said something along the lines of Jeffrey Epstein died in mysterious circumstances or mysteriously had died. So I think the fact is that they see the writing on the wall. He was obviously a very bad guy. They also know that there's this aspect of intel operation happening. They would be prime targets. You know, Bill Clinton, you can't tell me that, you know, he probably didn't fully know what was going on in the sense that, you know, those were kind of some younger girls, etc, but also too, I mean, at a certain point, did he. Do we have any evidence right now that he did anything illegal? And the answer is no, according to the deposition and according to, you know, at least the evidence that we have, that's not there. But what was interesting is that the entire time that we were in that room, the Democrats were trying to, you know, basically come up with reasonings to bring in and depose President Trump. And at a certain point, President Clinton actually did exonerate President Trump, which they did not like and they freaked out about. And then shortly thereafter, I actually also had asked President Trump about a woman who had made a false claim that he had had sex tapes out there with some of the victims. And I asked him, in so many words, would you want oversight to call in a victim like that or an alleged victim that had been proven to be lying? And he said, no, you shouldn't be doing that. And the reason I asked that specifically is because there has also been this attempt with the files to call in President Trump using false claims from people that were not credible witnesses or credible victims. And so I think, you know, it was good that he came in. Do I think that we're ever going to be able to get names directly from the Clintons or were we able to get names directly from the Clintons regarding people that were potentially involved in the trafficking?
- [85:22]
Blake
No.
- [85:23]
Anna Paulina Luna
However, when I showed the secretary emails that were some of the most egregious emails that you guys probably all saw and read on the Internet, and she read them. And then I said, do you think that this person should be called? And she said, yes, well, that, that individual who was writing those emails, that was a woman. And so I am going to be pushing and I've already talked to Chairman Comer and I think there is support for bringing in the co conspirators that were given lesser plea deals because they should have to answer for that, in addition to some of the other individuals that knew and potentially were even treating these victims because they did not report the Trafficking.
- [85:56]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, that falls in line with a lot of Blake's thinking, actually. Women were accomplices in this. And that's a big part of how Jeffrey Epstein got these young women to be surrounding him and these other rich guys is they used Virginia Gifrey as an example of that. She lured in underage women, told them to wear makeup and act and lie about their age. Totally nasty stuff.
- [86:22]
Anna Paulina Luna
But I think that there's also a big difference though between someone that's, you know, coaxed into doing something as a minor versus someone that continues to do it for years as an adult and is getting paid to do it. And they are no longer a coax cons or, you know, victims. They would then become co conspirators and traffickers. And so I think that that's a big difference. And you know, a lot of people for a long time, I think don't really realize that we were promised names. They said we, when we interviewed some of the victims, they said, we will give you names. And we have not yet received those names. And so that's why, I guess it's kind of frustrating. And I understand that people have been failed by the justice system previously, but we are still trying to at least ensure that people, if they were trafficking, let's bring them in and we want to at least expose this and then it's up to the Department of Justice on whether or not they're going to prosecute. But the fact is, is that there's. This has become so politicized with the attempts to try to basically make it look like President Trump was trafficking people, which we know he's been exonerated by the victims by multiple AGs, by literally President Bill Clinton. And so it seems like some of it's being lost in translation. But yeah, it was definitely, definitely quite the experience. I did not expect Hillary Clinton to lose her cool like that. And I was shocked. There was a couple times that she was kind of, you know, getting irritated being there. Total 180 out from President Bill Clinton.
- [87:39]
Charlie Kirk
Well, we only have 20 seconds here now. APL, we've got alliance of Sovereign nations coming up. Can you just quick elevator pitch on what it is? Turning Points working with you on it. Tell us about it.
- [87:51]
Anna Paulina Luna
Yes, Turning Point Action has worked with us to stand up a first ever of its kind event focusing on, I don't want to say nation building, but really ensuring that countries, specifically European nations that have been so long told that we need censorship and you need open borders and you need to focus on green energy, really removing the backbone of these countries. This is going to completely flip that on its head. It's a more populous movement focusing on fundamental things like free speech, energy independence, that is nuclear energy and strong immigration policy. And so we have 75 countries from around the world that are in attendance and we're very happy for it.
- [88:29]
Charlie Kirk
It, it's become all the rage. All of our, all of our inquiries right now.
- [88:35]
Tyler Boyer
It's everywhere.
- [88:36]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. There's so many press want to be inside this room and we're being, we're being very much sticklers on who we let in because we want them to do rail what is sure to be a really important event. So congrats on putting that together. It's becoming a really big deal. Thank you. And we'll have more to report on that soon. Tyler's been helping you with that and a few others. So Annapolina Luna, thank you for giving us the update on the Clinton deposition. Got much, much more to uncover there. I'm sure you're going to keep on it. Thanks for joining us today.
- [89:09]
Anna Paulina Luna
Thanks, guys.
- [89:10]

You hadn't even seen this clip. This is Bill Clinton essentially from his perspective at least exonerating President Trump.
- [90:40]
Donald Trump
385 the President never, this is 20 something years ago, never said anything to me to make me think he was involved in anything improper with regard to Epstein either. He, he just didn't. That's the truth. You know, as I said earlier, the only conversation I have with President Trump about the this was in the early 2000s, and I have no information that he did anything wrong.

No information that President Trump did anything wrong. I mean, by the way, the timing of that I think is telling. Early 2000s, this is when they were still friends. President Trump or President Clinton was much younger then, much sooner, just leaving office. And President Trump was not president yet. He was considered a Democrat donor. Was, you know, I think at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Right. Anyway, so they had interactions. So I think that's very telling. This was the clip that I took note of and I thought it was pretty comical and maybe I'm wrong for thinking that. I don't know. But it was. A lot of people online certainly noticed it 457.
- [92:02]
Ken Paxton
That.
- [92:14]
Donald Trump
Okay, Mr. President, we have.
- [92:22]
Charlie Kirk
So I, I thought there would be more audio cues there.
- [92:24]
Tyler Boyer
A lot of people are literally laughing.
- [92:25]
Blake
That's laughing. But we don't really know what precisely he's laughing.
- [92:29]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, it was, I don't know, flipping through old Epstein photos of him, him smiling and nodding with. I mean, I find it, I find
- [92:37]
Blake
it unlikely that what was going on there is he was suddenly tipping his hand like. Oh, yeah, I remember abusing that person.
- [92:43]
Charlie Kirk
No, I think he's, he's sort of laughing at the spectacle of the entire ordeal. But a lot of people found it humorous online because those were apparently pictures.
- [92:53]
Tyler Boyer
I mean, many people think that he's laughing because, you know, what. What is out there? What what is. What he's looking at is. Is far less egregious than what.
- [93:04]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.
- [93:05]
Tyler Boyer
Is not out there.
- [93:06]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.
- [93:06]
Blake
It could be like a very real possibility to me is what we've seen over and over is there's a lot of salacious allegations that have come from. They'll release a photo next to someone who's has their face blurred out and they're implying that this was someone they abused, that someone who was underage. And they're neither of those things.
- [93:24]
Charlie Kirk
Of course. Yeah.
- [93:24]
Blake
And so, so he might look at this photo and be like, oh, that's a 28 year old person that I interacted with or something like that.
- [93:32]
Charlie Kirk
Sure. Yeah. I mean, interact.
- [93:34]
Tyler Boyer
It's putting it very.
- [93:36]
Blake
It might literally just be that these are just the. All of these are just photos that people took. Like, they're not secret photos, they're not blackmail photos as far as we know. They just seem to be any photo you might take, like with your phone today if you're at a party.
- [93:54]
Tyler Boyer
I mean, sir, certainly, Blake, a sitting president that leaves office and immediately is flying down with imagery that is being produced and put in front of him. That's. That's. That is not exact. Especially when we rewind back to the 90s. Like, I get today, like, 90s thing.
- [94:16]
Blake
To me, I was only 10 when the 90s.
- [94:17]
Charlie Kirk
Well, you know what?
- [94:18]
Blake
Okay.
- [94:18]
Charlie Kirk
I don't think we know.
- [94:19]
Tyler Boyer
Like, no one, not even no one was okay with any of this. Like, nobody has ever. Like the fact that, like, society has. Has been degraded into something where it's like, oh, this isn't that big of a deal. And I get it. Totally jaded. Everyone's jaded now. Whatever.
- [94:36]
Charlie Kirk
Okay?
- [94:37]
Tyler Boyer
At the time. At the time period, if those images would have come out, it would have been. It would have been. It would have been the most important thing on the news for three years.
- [94:47]
Charlie Kirk
Well, kind of like when. When Clinton had his intern run in with Monica Lewinsky. So this is funny. I don't have the clip here, and I just remembered it, so I didn't call for it. But they were asking about, why do you hang out with all these young women? He's like, well, that's wrong. I don't hang out with. I don't typically hang out with younger women and all this stuff. And they go, would you consider an intern young? And he goes, you can see his whole face is like, well, you got me there. Never gonna live that long. He goes, yes, interns are young. Let me just play one from Hillary because. Because she's just got a vibe here. 386.

Anna Paulina Luna
When you saw photos of your husband
- [95:21]
Donald Trump
in a hot tub, laying on a
- [95:22]
Anna Paulina Luna
beach and getting massaged by other women, and you knew that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in some of these trips and these things, did it concern you at all? I'm here not to offer my opinions. I'm here to answer specific questions to
- [95:33]
Charlie Kirk
the best of my ability.
- [95:34]
Anna Paulina Luna
When you saw your husband in these
- [95:35]
Sean Davis
photos of the young woman being massaged,
- [95:36]
Anna Paulina Luna
what went through your mind?
- [95:38]
Charlie Kirk
I am not going to speculate.
- [95:42]
Tyler Boyer
I don't think that's speculation. I think it's just a direct question of how did you feel about that?
- [95:47]
Charlie Kirk
I mean, legally, she's a smart gal. She did the right thing. Right? Because they're trying to get salacious details and et cetera, et cetera. But anyways, yeah, she ended up. There was a whole photo leak situation with, I believe, Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert out of Colorado leaked a picture. They found out that she leaked it during the hearing. She slammed her fists on the table and it was quite the moment. I believe we Just about have it loaded up here. But it literally all of us turned and looked at each other and were like, that was Benghazi. That was a total Benghazi moment. Hillary Clinton has not changed. You can take the woman out of Washington, but you can't take the Washington out of the woman. New York, wherever. Something like that. Something like that. Do we have the clip? Can we get it?
- [96:36]
Tyler Boyer
It's a scary cross between Washington and Arkansas is what it is.
- [96:40]
Charlie Kirk
It's. It's steeped in power for years.
- [96:42]
Tyler Boyer
Scary crap.
- [96:43]
Charlie Kirk
All right. 458.
- [96:45]
Anna Paulina Luna
Can I interrupt?
- [96:47]
Donald Trump
I have another.
- [96:47]
Anna Paulina Luna
Photos that are being released of the secretary as she is testifying from inside this room. Can you please advise me as to whether or not that's permissible and consistent with the rules, particularly given that we
- [97:00]
Charlie Kirk
have asked for a public hearing.
- [97:01]
Anna Paulina Luna
If there are photos that are being released of the secretary. She is speaking, testifying. Can you please explain how that.
- [97:06]
Sean Davis
I'm done with this.
- [97:07]
Charlie Kirk
If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.
- [97:13]
Anna Paulina Luna
We will go off.
- [97:15]
Terrence Bates
Oh, for heaven.
- [97:16]
Sean Davis
So I would like to understand how that's permissible.
- [97:21]
Charlie Kirk
It doesn't matter.
- [97:22]
Sean Davis
We all are abiding by the same rules.
- [97:24]
Anna Paulina Luna
I. I will take that down. Yeah, I would like to take a
- [97:27]
Charlie Kirk
break at this moment.
- [97:28]
Anna Paulina Luna
I'd like to have.
- [97:29]
Sean Davis
For now.
- [97:30]
Charlie Kirk
And on that note, we are done. We'll see you tomorrow, Hillary Clinton.
- [97:36]
Blake
I don't want to feel bad for Hillary Clinton.
- [97:39]
Charlie Kirk
We'll see you tomorrow.
