If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord.

noblegoldinvestments.com all right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's May 28, 2026. We're here in Phoenix, Arizona at the Y Refi Studios. How we doing, Blake?
- [01:25]
Blake
We're doing lovely.

Andrew
Yep. We got news this morning that broke from Axios and it's a potentially massive, massive deal. And that is the US and Iran reach deal for a 60 day peace ceasefire, but need Trump's final approval, officials say. So the way this has gone down is that you gotta understand dealing with Iran is very, very difficult right now. They got carrier pigeons going to their supreme Leader. It's tough to get word back and forth. So if you're, if you're quibbling over a dot on an I or how a T is crossed, it takes roughly about three days to get that back and forth. Okay, so they say that Iran, Iran has not officially confirmed this, but US officials are saying that Iranian senior leadership have said that they have approval to sign this deal. So what's in the deal? The deal says that the strait will be opened. Okay. The blockade will be lifted. Iran will not harass the shipping lane and the US will end its blockade. So this will happen in proportion to the restoration of commercial shipping. A U.S. official said the MOU will include an Iranian commitment not to pursue a nuclear weapon. The official said it will also state that the first issue to be negotiated in this 60 day window will be how to dispose of Iran's highly enriched uranium and how to address Iranian enrichment. Okay, so let's just set out the stakes here for you. So got to get that shipping lane open, right? We've got midterms, we got high energy prices. There is pressure politically, domestically, to get that gas price under $3 nationally. Okay. This would put us on the road to do that. Okay. Yeah, we are net exporting. We have all this energy in the United States. These are all good things. China's coming to us, lots of others are coming to us. Venezuela, sending us 10 million barrels of oil, all those things are good developments. But internationally, you have to understand there's still a pressure on that gas price, on the energy prices, and that has a political consequence. You better believe it, that the president is keenly aware of this. Yes, he's willing to endure some pain here, but he's also a pragmatist. Okay, President Trump wants a few days to think about this, but that blockade would be lifted. Iran would agree to allow the strait to be open. This would help them economically. There's no question. Estimates have it at about $500 million a day that Iranians are losing by not being able to access the strait for shipping of energy internationally. Also, they have a lot of worry about their wells backing up. Once that happens, some of those oil wells cannot be reopened. You do permanent damage to those wells, and the first item up for bids during the 60 day Peace Fire will be how to deal with and dispose of the dust, the nuclear dust that's there now that is open for interpretation. There's a lot of different parties involved, a lot of different ideas of how to best do it. Some say China, some say Russia. President Trump says that's off the table. I think President Trump wants a few days to think about this because he wants the US to directly oversee the disposal of said nuclear waste.
- [04:37]
Blake
It's not a perfect deal.
- [04:38]
Andrew
It's not perfect. I wanna say that the whole war is.
- [04:40]
Blake
The whole thing is not perfect. In truth, a lot of this is. It would be getting us back to the situation before the war, which is straight, open, free trade. And we're agreeing to negotiate on the nuclear issue, which we were negotiating when the strikes started.
- [04:54]
Andrew
So just to be clear, though, what is different is that they have apparently, and this is part of the background that I have been exposed to on some of these calls, the difference right now is that they have finally conceded that they will not have a nuclear program and that they're willing to dispose of said nuclear weapons.
- [05:14]
Blake
Well, Iran has always said they're not planning to build a nuclear Weapon. We don't believe them, of course, so.
- [05:19]
Andrew
Well, there is some interesting insight on that. One school of thought. One theory of the case is that the old Supreme Leader was never going to do it. He just wanted to posture. He just wanted to. When we got rid of him, the new leadership for a while was actually willing to do it. So actually things got more risky in the immediate aftermath. Right now it appears that the moderates are ascending. So let me explain the breakdown here. You get rid of the leadership structure and it creates a vacuum. You've got moderates, you've got hardliners. There has been dust ups in the last couple of days. There was some. Last night we shot down some drones. We shot down a drone.
- [05:56]
Blake
Is it just still the case where they have straight. It's decentralized. I know that was exactly.
- [06:01]
Andrew
So here's the deal. So when you have a power vacuum and when you have the Supreme Leader, who is essentially the leader, but he's new, first of all, he's injured and he's in hiding, the communication channels are dispersed and there are factions fighting within the emergent Iranian leadership structure that want to dominate. The hardliners want to dominate and they want to sabotage this deal. There was a piece that came out, I believe in the Financial Times yesterday that explained how the hardliners are already trying to sabotage this deal. Do you want to know how we know this is a good deal for the United States? Because the hardliners in Iran want to sabotage it. They understand that this emboldens empowers, enables the moderates to take the reins of power and to put Iran on a better course economically, where they're not going to get overthrown by their people in about six months. But maybe that still happens. Okay? Because there's been a ton of damage inflicted upon the Iranian people. And if they want to do that, if they want to seize their own destiny and their own futures, they should do that. They should feel empowered to do that. I would be pro the Iranian people overthrowing this tyrannical regime. They're evil. Should that be the United States job? That's an open question. I don't believe it should be our job. We have a country to run right here at home. But President Trump was very clear. He said no nuclear weapon. This deal takes that off the board. Why? Because for the first time the moderates have been empowered to take control of the regime. They have been empowered and are advancing this notion that finally they are conceding that they cannot have a nuclear weapon. This is a good, good Development. This is a slam dunk development.
- [07:40]
Blake
You get the sense of, again, how complicated it is because have you ever heard of any of these people before any of this happened? I've got the Financial Times piece open. Influential members of the ultra conservative Pedari faction who occupy seats in parliament and prominent positions at the state broadcasters and have insisted Iran retain control over the Strait and refused to make concessions over its nuclear program, describing these as red lines. We've heard that word before. They have criticized Parliamentary Speaker Mohammed Bagar Gallabaaf, a longtime political rival who has been leading the negotiations, claiming he has acted beyond the mandate given by unseen new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Motaba Khamenei. So you really sense how incredibly complicated it is where each different factions in one country that we're in conflict with are claiming they have the true mandate of a leader. No one can see, no one's heard from. Very dramatic.
- [08:32]
Andrew
To underscore this point, to underscore this point, they have this guy in hiding, like, incredibly hidden within this country to the point that they will not establish a digital connection in any way, shape or form around this guy. So. So when I say carrier pigeon, I'm joking, but I'm kind of not joking. That's what it takes to communicate with this guy. And we have to assume since he hasn't been taken out, that he's probably hidden successfully. Right. So when you have a situation like that where you can't get on a broadcast and dictate the terms or send out messaging in some other way to his lieutenants, then there's going to be this vacuum, this void created. What the US has challenged right now is to say our red line is nuclear. Our red line is the strait. Okay? If you concede on those two points, we will let you open up and give you some financial results from energy and from sanctions.
- [09:26]
Blake
It is very helpful when you have the Iranians themselves saying anything short of exclusive Iranian control of the strait is Iran is a total loser and the US A total winner.
- [09:35]
Andrew
So here's the deal. We've got hardliners on our side as well here at home, so. And Blake, I know you're very cognizant of this. We both are. We're watching. There's certain people, I'm not going to name all of them, but some of them are my friends and some of them are not my friends, but let's just use Lindsey Graham as a stand in for all of them.
- [09:56]
Blake
Lady Graham.
- [09:57]
Andrew
Lady Graham. So these people will not be happy until we just all we do is drop bombs all over foreign countries and, you know, perpetually send American troops abroad.
- [10:10]
Blake
They saw this escalation as their big chance to divert President Trump into a full regime change, war, whatever. They told him, oh, they'll cave. They'll get rid of their nuclear program immediately. They believe this would be their chance to get their hook in and get President Trump to just do a full Iraq overthrow the government. And they still do this. They say 10,000 troops, it's going to be super easy.
- [10:33]
Andrew
In and out, in and out. President Trump, let's just be very clear about something for those of you in the audience that maybe do feel a bit that way. Where you want to see the regime topple, I'm the same. I want to see the regime topple, but I'm not willing to send American boots on the ground to get that done. And that's essentially the only thing that will get this done. You could arm the citizenry of Iran, but potentially that would be effective and maybe they should pursue that. That usually ends terribly as well. Let's just be honest, we don't have a great track record there. But unless you are willing to commit 100,000 boots on the ground to go commandeer and wrench control of that country from the regime, then this is not going to happen. And I will tell you right now, if President Trump did that, it would be politically disastrous. Every toss up race, we would lose every single one of them. Come the midterms, he would be impeached. The entire last two years of his presidency would be completely and utterly distracted and every wrench would be thrown into every gear you can imagine. Okay, so that's just like, let's just be very clear about the stakes here. And so in lieu of getting full regime change and getting everything that you want, getting them to give up their nuclear, getting them to commit to disposing of the dust, getting them to allow American officials forces oversee the disposal of said nuclear material, and getting them to open the straits up and destroying their entire missile arsenal, sinking their navy to the bottom of the sea. This is the deal that is possible. So let's deal in the realm of real.
- [12:10]
Blake
It's just a simple fact. Would it be good for Iran to have a different type of government? Yes. But is that what President Trump ran on in 2024? No. Is it what the people who voted for him want?
- [12:21]
Andrew
It doesn't seem so, no.
- [12:23]
Blake
And is it overall, is it good for America to a country that has fewer resources than it did 20 years ago for this sort of Thing, is this a good way for us to be investing America's focus and assets? I don't believe it is. You don't believe it is? I don't think most people believe it is. What we want is we want a revived middle class, we want a revived industrial base, we want strength abroad, family
- [12:47]
Andrew
formation, affordability, home ownership. These are the things that people voted for President Trump on. Do you want to know ultimately why people voted for President Trump? Yes, it was immigration certainly that motivated me, but really it was that they felt the economy was better under Trump than it was under Biden. That's it. I hate to be that guy, the economy, stupid, but it's kind of that. Okay? And right now this is a drag on fulfilling that promise. They looked at President Trump and you could look at a thousand different videos online. Probably half of them are from Charlie, the peace president, the no new wars president. That's what they want. They want domestic focus.
- [13:25]
Blake
Ultimately, it was just they thought, it seemed like things were better under Trump because Biden took over. And you could just see the decay everywhere because he let crime go haywire, he let the border go haywire, he let prices go haywire. And that was a big post Covid effect. And we're seeing a similar drag here where the long term effect of that Strait of Hormuz, it's not just on gas prices, it's that a bunch of factories in Vietnam and Thailand and India and China, those all slow down their operations. So you get those shortages that we had during COVID and then that drives inflation in prices of other things. It's a whole slow motion effect, knock on effect. And you don't undo that until you restore that Middle east choke point back to what it was.
- [14:05]
Andrew
But lest you be concerned that Trump is gonna sign some bad deal, he's not. This is a state step by step process that's being negotiated here. Okay, you make good on the first promise, then we give a little bit. You make good on another promise, we give a little bit. But if you don't, President Trump still holds the trump card of that. We're going to keep our military assets deployed out there until we have exactly what we need and what we want. Sat 27 well, I think we're doing very well.
- [14:33]
Pete Hegse
They are starting to give us the things that they have to give us. And if they do, that's great. And if they, then the man on my left is going to finish him off.
- [14:42]
Andrew
And the man on his left is Secretary of War Pete Hegse. All right, so he's not changing his posture. He's saying, listen, carrot and a stick. Here's the carrot if you do what we want, and here's the stick if you don't do what we want. All right, so we still hold the leverage in that sense. All right? So he's also being very clear that the strait is going to be open. It's going to be accessible to everybody. Sat 21 now, the Strait is going
- [15:04]
Pete Hegse
to be open to everybody.
- [15:05]
Andrew
And who would control it?
- [15:06]
Pete Hegse
It's international waters. Nobody is going to control it. We're going to watch over it, we'll watch over it, but nobody is going to control it. That's part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it. Nobody is going to control it. It's international waters. And Oman will behave just like everybody else and we'll have to blow them up. They understand that. They'll be fine.
- [15:26]
Andrew
So listen, I hope the stakes are very clear for you, because it's very clear to me that you are not going to get the full regime change unless you commit boots on the ground, and that ain't happening. What you can get is you can exert leverage with the blockade, which we've been doing, and leverage with our aerial offensive, which we've been doing, and you can get them to give up the nuclear and you can get them to open the strait. If you can do those things, you take that deal every day of the week, you get out, you declare victory, you just avoided nuclear fallout in the Middle east and Europe and elsewhere. Okay, It's a good deal. Trust the president in this. He's not going to take a bad deal. But this is the right deal to take and we should get out. Charlie used to talk a lot about Angel Studios and what they were building. And as you know, I've been a longtime fan of it for the same reason. So I wanted to share some of my favorite films and shows on angel, and I put them all into one easy to use watch list. This is content that's actually worth your time. Not just noise or recycled talking points, but stories and that go a level deeper and ask better questions. That's what stands out about angel to me. They're willing to put out films and documentaries that don't just follow the usual script, especially when it comes to politics, culture, and the bigger conversations you and I should be having. So on my watch list, you'll find picks that lean into those topics, but there are also solid options for family or just something meaningful to watch at the end of a stressful Day. If you want to check it out, go to angel.com charlie and. And take a look at the watch list I put together. All right. I wanna bring in Senator Eric Schmidt, who's one of the good guys fighting for us in the Senate. And I gotta just kinda start there. We gotta get to Iran, and it's important, but I mean, the Senate had a big week this week, and it feels like, listen, I know these are your colleagues, so you gotta be diplomatic. You feel free to be diplomatic. I'm gonna read the subtext. Just kidding. But we're seeing new fighters emerge, and we're totally behind Ken Paxton. But what do you make of the big takeaways there in Texas, sir, that you saw the base kind of rise up, you saw this endorsement from President Trump, and it ended up being a blowout?
- [17:41]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Yeah, I think that. Look, I've known this for a very, very long time when I went through and ran for the Senate in 2022. You know, people want fighters right now. They want to know that people are committed to President Trump's agenda. And. And that's. That's what I focus on every single day. I know that's what the people in Missouri expect me to do, and that's where my heart is. And I think we've got so many opportunities still in front of us, even with the time in these, you know, before the midterms, to continue to push an agenda forward. There's a lot of things we've done, but there's still more to do. And I think it's also guys the voters want to know, and I saw this as Attorney General in Missouri before I came to the Senate, that you understand what time it is. You know, like, this is not your grandfather's Democrat Party of Harry Truman or Ted Kennedy reaching across the aisle to Bob Dole. These guys are obsessed with power and control. They've been captured by the radical left. If they had their way, they'll open up the borders all over again. They'll censor us all over again. They'll pack the Supreme Court, they'll add states to the Union. They'll federalize elections. All of it. They will do all of it. And so I think you got to understand the stakes and you got to be willing to fight back. And then I just can tell you my experience here in Missouri. I'm home this week talking to voters around the state. That's what they want us to do. They love this country. These are common sense people. They just want us to fight for them.
- [18:59]
Andrew
Amen. All right. So one of the big developments here is this Iranian peace deal. We just got news that we're at the finish line. Basically, both sides, the negotiating table have agreed to it. President Trump's gonna take a couple days to think about it. What do you hope happens here, Senator Schmidt?
- [19:16]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Well, look, we've accomplished what President Trump set out to do, what he said he wanted to do, which was to knock back their nuclear ambitions, to knock back their military. He's done that, and it's created a space now for diplomacy. And I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that President Trump can strike a deal. I know he's not gonna strike a bad deal. This is not Barack Obama at the negotiating table. This is. This is the ultimate dealmaker who understands the stakes. He's been clear that he doesn't want them to have a nuclear weapon. And so I have full confidence that President Trump is going to, you know, do what's right for the American people. But I think his North Star here has always been to give an opportunity for these negotiations to play out, to have a resolution, and. And that's what I'm hoping for here.
- [19:59]
Andrew
I mean, I think this is a legacy moment for the president. If you could stop their nuclear program and get that straight back. Open prices come down, gas prices below $3 average nationally. I mean, California will still be like 6 bucks, but, you know, whatever. That's their own problem. I think this is a huge legacy moment, and the president's right to pursue peace. He is the peace through strength president, and I'm praying for peace. I'll be honest with you. I think it's a huge, huge impediment to the midterms. We get this done, we got Big Mo behind us. You got, Look, Indiana, you got Paxton, you got. You got a bunch. You get the VRA section 2 being gutted. This is something I want to talk about with you. You have raised an interesting issue with California, if you want to talk about California. So they redistrict their maps. They get about five seats for the Democrats. You have raised that there might be some problems based on the Supreme Court ruling. Senator, what's your perspective there?
- [20:54]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Yeah, I think this is an underreported story just how significant this case was at the Supreme Court about a month ago. Effectively, what they said is the Democrats can't rely on this astroturf, you know, number of seats they have by way of racist maps. You can't racially gerrymander maps. And the Democrats have been doing this for a very, very long time. And so I've encouraged the Department of Justice to go after states like California, Illinois that have been very explicit as to their rationale for why they have the maps that they have. California has this commission that they created, which, by the way, was set up under the guise of nonpartisanship to make it more Democratic maps. Now, that's not radical enough for them. They want to toss that and get to another system. But be that as it may, their chief map maker has been clear that they created districts based on race. And so Herme Dhillon, the Department of justice, we've issued a letter to them, encouraged them to sue the state of California and upend a racist map. And they ought to do it in Illinois, too. Illinois sets up in their statute criteria that's based explicitly on race. The Supreme Court's been clear you can't do that. And I think what we're about to see that if you zoom out here, Andrew, if we are successful in that effort, the Democrats have relied on illegal immigrants padding their numbers, were successful with deportations. You do that. And then also just the natural redistricting that's going to happen. 2020 was a bogus census. The 2030 census will be more accurate. And, and also the people leaving California, Illinois, New York for red states, you're going to see a fundamental shift, I think, structurally, where we're going to have advantages in states in a, in a big way in the next five years. But we ought to be aggressive here. We ought to do pedal to the metal and upend these racist maps. That's what the Supreme Court ruling is all about. And now they should play offense.
- [22:41]
Andrew
I love this. I mean, so have you gotten any word back from the DOJ that they're actually going to pursue this? And I want to, I want to remind the audience here, you are the former attorney General of the state of Missouri. You are the guy that led the fight against Google and censorship. We have so many scalps thanks to your leadership. And so you know this. Well, I mean, you are a legal beagle in the truest sense. You happen to be in the Senate now and you're fighting the fight for us. But like, I just want the audience to understand when you bring up these legal issues, you're not talking into a vacuum. You're not talking unaware about the legal precedents that have been set. Have you gotten confirmation that they're looking into it, that this is, that they agree with your prescription here?
- [23:23]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Well, I posted about it when we, when we issued the letter to the Department of Justice, posted about it. On X and Herme, Dylan's response was on it. So I think that's a good sign.
- [23:31]
Andrew
Okay, well, yeah, good. I didn't see that. That is a good sign.
- [23:34]
Senator Eric Schmidt
So I think that's a good sign. And I think she's done a great job in that position in the Civil Rights division, which, by the way, was a cessful. Cesspool for radical leftists for years. And so a lot of those lawyers have left. She's rebuilding the ranks with people who actually believe in the rule of law. And this is a great example, I think, of. Of not just accepting the Supreme Court. I mean, the Supreme Court decision was very positive, but now playing offense with that. And I think that's what separates us from the Democrats. We have to play to win here, and we'd be doing it for all the right reasons. It's been pretty clear by the Supreme Court, you cannot have racist maps. The Democrats have relied on racist maps for a long time. And by the way, in the broader sense, in these redistricting fights, outside of the racist maps in states like Missouri and Texas, where you've seen it, we should continue to play offense there, too, because you can have political determinations on how you draw maps. The Supreme Court was very explicit about that, too, because if you look at a map of New England there, even though 40% of that region is Republican, there's not a single Republican representative.
- [24:37]
Andrew
We should be taking the fight to them everywhere, Senator.
- [24:40]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Absolutely. So you take. You take those. Think of the Southeast Conference, right? Southeast Conference. Think of those states. Be aggressive. We can add seats there, take on the Voting Rights act there, continue the deportations there, have the census and people voting with their feet over the last decade. I think we're gonna come out on top here, but we have to be smart and aggressive.
- [25:02]
Andrew
Well, and the census, you're right, is really gonna help. There's no doubt about it. Okay, so two other things I wanna get to. And I know you've gotta run here, but. But Save America act. Ending the filibuster, talking filibuster. Are you seeing any momentum there? I mean, I thought Paxton was very smart, the way he threw that to corn and said, hey, I'll drop out of the race if you get behind this. I mean, I want to call on the same thing for Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, you know, but again, I can do that. I understand you've got colleagues in the
- [25:31]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Senate, but I've been very clear about this. So in talking to President Trump, just to kind of step back, Mike Lee had The Senate version, version with the. You have to approve citizenship and you have to show photo id. I worked closely with the president and talking with him about adding those three other features to save America, which is, you know, making sure you get rid of mail in voting fraud that's been out there, and making sure men can't compete with women in sports and getting rid of the, you know, the transgender mutilation of our kids. So that substitute amendment that lays there, that's mine. So there's nobody more committed to this than me. I think the answer, Andrew, is that we have to dedicate the time on the talking filibuster, and then that we're gonna see let the chips fall where they may. We're never gonna know unless we try. And that just takes a commitment of time. Honestly, make the Democrats hold the floor. Now, look, they're gonna ask for quorum calls, and we have to have 51 people go out there. But that's a good way to determine who's really committed to this thing. Right. And so that. That's where I'm at on it.
- [26:34]
Andrew
I wish we would spend.
- [26:35]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Yeah, I wish. We just need to spend the time on it, and we're running out of that time, so we need to be dedicated to it when we get back in June.
- [26:43]
Andrew
You know, I found myself wondering this morning, and again, I know you can't say as much as I can, so you can be quiet here if you need to, Senator, but I found myself wondering this morning what the world would look like if Senator Scott was the leader of the Senate and not Thune, but here we are. All right, so one last minute here, sir. There was a. I just saw this. It was an AP story that a federal judge has declined to halt President Trump's executive order creating a federal voter list and limiting mail voting. So it's still being challenged in other states, but just as a legal mind, I'm sure you remember this story. He signed an executive order saying that the U.S. postal Service will have a list of actual approved voters in a federal election. Do you think this will stand up to legal muster? It's being challenged everywhere.
- [27:30]
Senator Eric Schmidt
I think so. I mean, there's nothing preventing us having accurate voter information. I mean, that. Again, that's how crazy this debate has gotten. That. And I guess, actually, I'll pull back a little bit. Twenty years ago, there was something called the Carter Baker Commission, which was a bipartisan commission of Jimmy Carter and James Baker. And they came together and said, what are the 10 things we can do to ensure election integrity in this country.
- [27:56]
Andrew
Right? Yes.
- [27:57]
Senator Eric Schmidt
Remember this. But limiting mail in voting to prevent fraud and making sure people really need to. If they can't be there because of a disability, that's fine. But you got to limit it. That's a big piece of it. So didn't used to be controversial. It is now. We got to move forward on this stuff.
- [28:08]
Andrew
Senator Eric Schmidt, one of the good guys fighting for you in the US Senate. God bless you, sir. We'll talk to you soon.
- [28:13]
Senator Eric Schmidt
All right, guys.
- [28:16]
Andrew
All right, Blake, Another day. And the hits keep coming from Tofu Tower.
- [28:21]
Blake
Talarico.
- [28:22]
Andrew
Terrible.
- [28:22]
Blake
Talarico.
- [28:23]
Andrew
Talarico. So I love the Internet for this reason. So. So, okay, now we have the matchup. It's Paxton v. Talarico. And people are starting to dig through the old interviews that he's done. These clips from south by Southwest of him saying crazy stuff. Now they're going back through the Joe Rogan interview. They're finding even more stuff. And it's just too good because he's just so bad. And it's. We. So we owe it to you. We have a moral obligation to expose just how crazy this is. Blake, you made the point. He's like a bad AI.
- [28:54]
Blake
Yeah, like an AI generation. Like create a Democrat circa 2021 who's going to do all of the AI beats. So he's gonna. You'll ask him a question. What do you care about most?
- [29:07]
Andrew
Trans kids. Yes, trans kids, exactly. So he's like Pete Buttigieg meets Beto o', Rourke, but just more effeminate. Okay, so here I gotta play this clip. Cause it's just so stupid. SOT 19.
- [29:20]
James Talarico
Part of this Christian nationalist movement, isn't it is trying to pass these things called private school vouchers. So it's taking dollars out of the classroom and giving it to unaccountable private schools, usually Christian private schools. Again, part of this effort to blur the lines between church and state.
- [29:38]
Andrew
Okay, so there's so much here that is worth unpacking first. Let me just say school choice is undeniably one of the very best things the state can do for its students, especially poor families. Okay. A lot of students are trapped in underperforming schools, failing schools, public schools that are indoctrinating their kids to become like James Talarico. You don't want that, obviously. So it's a no brainer. We do it here in Arizona and it's amazing. All the families love it. So basically you get a $7,500 tax credit voucher to use at a Private school. And a lot of people do it. So if you're stuck at a crappy public school, guess what you got. Private options. And it's like this boon. It's this whole entrepreneurial industry has emerged with new schools popping up in their classical education, classic Christian education. I mean, they're amazing. And usually they cost about the same amount a year to send your student there. So like 7,500 bucks, maybe 8,500 bucks. So you pay an extra thousand bucks. But your students are getting an education that suits your values. And it's amazing. People love it here. Okay, guess who doesn't love it? The teachers unions. So why does James Talrico really want to demonize school vouchers as Christian nationalism? It breaks the stranglehold of the teachers unions. And guess what? The teachers unions are a super PAC for Democrats. They are get out the vote machine. They're door knockers. They're sending millions and millions of dollars to their preferred Democrat candidates. They don't like that.
- [31:07]
Blake
It's the most sinister thing. It's the total capture of every institution in American life to just be funnel money to a Democrat cartel. And it's actually a reversion to a very old way of doing things. Because what was life like if you lived in a decrepit feudal system like France before the revolution? Everyone's. You have different nobles, and they all have their different noble privileges because their grandpa fought at the battle of something or other 500 years ago. They have the right to collect this tax fee in their local area. It's exactly like this. Oh, we're a public school teacher. We have the right to get all of these tax revenues that go to us. Do we need to make sure we actually teach kids?
- [31:48]
Andrew
No.
- [31:48]
Blake
Do we even need to have school in person? No. We get to, you know, demand shutdowns whenever we want. Is there any accountability for us not letting your kids get molested? No. And are you allowed to leave?
- [31:58]
Andrew
No.
- [31:58]
Blake
That's why they hate the vouchers. And of course, his biggest donors are going to be people who send their kids to private schools in the Bay Area, in la, in New York. They're not people who go to public schools.
- [32:08]
Andrew
His donors are all going private school. Okay. Secondly, he says it's Christian nationalism. Okay, well, what does he want at a public school? He wants your kids trapped in an indoctrination center.
- [32:20]
Blake
Transnationalism.
- [32:21]
Andrew
Yeah, transnational. The secular cult of wokeness. He wants your kids being indoctrinated from a very young age to be just like him. Woke Mind virus, the whole kit and caboodle, trans, LGBTQ celebrating, trans day and Flag Day, all that kind of crap, that's what he wants. Instead of going to a Christian school where they learn to worship Jesus, that's coming from a Christian supposed, a heretical Christian. And by the way, this is the last thing I want to point out of that clip. Unaccountable. Did you see? All these schools are unaccountable. Well, that's not true. First of all, they have certain benchmarks they need to meet, they need to get accredited. All that stuff remains true. But what that is, that's code for they're uncontrollable. Because you got to remember the secular left believes that your kids belong to them, your kids belong to the state. That's why you get laws in California where they can basically kidnap your kids. If you don't agree with the trans cult, if you have not bent the knee to the trans God, the golden calf of trans, then they get to take your kid away from you. They get to kidnap your kid because they believe that the kid belongs to them, not to the parents. So unaccountable, that's code for you can't control it. And that's bad to a leftist, to a patriot, to an American, to a constitutionalist. You realize that's in God's design because God set up the nuclear family. It is the building block of civilization and they can't touch it. If they can touch it, they can destroy civilization. They can destroy the Founders vision for this country, they can destroy traditional America. If we can preserve it, then we can preserve the country. And they hate that. Tao Rico is not just weird, he's not just dangerous. He's a con man. He's a snake oil salesman posing in a Christian skin suit and it needs to be called out. And by the way, we got another clip here. We went a little longer than I was expecting to. How long is this clip? We got enough time. Here you go. This is him telling you that it's not a Christian nation. Actually sat 36.
- [34:23]
James Talarico
But I think it's really important to clarify that we were not founded as a Christian nation. We were founded as a nation where you are free to be a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim or a Sikh or a Buddhist or an atheist. I mean, that is the. That's the promise of America, is that we are this multicultural melting pot where no, no one is told how to pray and no religion is elevated over the others.
- [34:47]
Andrew
Blake, do you think the founders were really worried about Sikhs and Muslims I,
- [34:51]
Blake
you know what's funny is I wonder if they even knew what a Sikh was at that time and certainly Islam. I mean, they thought it was an exotic. They'd heard of it, they'd heard it was an exotic religion from abroad, but I don't think, I think they would have all admitted America would have been an incredibly different nation if we were filled with Islamic jihadists.
- [35:10]
Andrew
I want to talk to you about an issue so many Americans face, and that's health insurance. There's an organization I really, really appreciate called Christian Healthcare Ministries. CHM is a faith based alternative to health insurance. And this is real stuff. Folks like you gotta listen in. With chm, you're not paying into a company's profit margin. You're investing in a community with less overhead than the competition. You get reliable support through the giving and prayer of fellow members. Members contribute every month to help pay for each other's medical bills, allowing believers to afford the care they need because they're not insurance. You get access to your preferred doctor or hospital without network restrictions. You heard that right. If you want to see massive savings in your healthcare budget. CHM has four low cost programs for every stage of life, starting at just $115 a month. Plus you can enroll or switch your program at any time. See why so many believers are taking a leap of faith? Start today by visiting chministries.orgcharlie and use promo code Charlie for a 50% credit towards your first month. That's chministries.orgcharlie and use promo code Charlie. I'm very excited about our next guest, and that is Peter Schweitzer. He's a longtime friend and guest of the show and he's the author of an incredible book called the Invisible Coup. And he's making headlines because he's ruffling all the right feathers. Peter, welcome back to the show. It's good to have you.
- [36:41]
Peter Schweitzer
Good to be back with you. Thanks for having me.
- [36:44]
Andrew
Well, so you have really gotten under the skin of some of our friends down south, our Mexican neighbors. Claudia Sheinbaum's really upset about you. So you've been basically saying that these Mexican consulates in the United States, there's 53 of them, by the way. 50. Why do we need 53 Mexican consulates in the United States? It's probably because we have too much illegal immigration. But I digress. There's 53 of them here and you have alleged that they've been up to some no good things, some things that are against our interests as Americans, which doesn't Shock me. Now, Mexico is denying this. Of course. They're calling you a big fat liar. Peter, tell us what the allegations are that you've put forth and some of the evidence you have for this.
- [37:28]
Sean Hudson
That.
- [37:29]
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, I mean, you're Quite right. There's 53 Mexican consulates in the United States. Just to put that into perspective, there are four alone in the state of Arizona. Great Britain has six in the United States. China has seven. So this is a massive number. And what I lay out in the book is really quoting Mexican officials in describing what they're doing. And those consulates are meddling in American politics. They are organizing anti Trump protest rallies. They are organizing anti ICE rallies. I highlight In May of 2024, a presidential election year, of course, there was a meeting at the Oklahoma City consulate that Mexico has. There were officials that flew in from Mexico City, consular officials from Los Angeles to Orlando, and the consulates in between all gathered there. And what do they do? They met with Democratic Party political organizers, and the conversation was about how they could turn states from red to blue. And they bragged about how they had turned California from red to blue, Arizona from red to blue, and they wanted to do more of that. All of this, by the way, comes from a transcript of that meeting that we obtained from the Mexican media. So this is not me alleging this. This is what they are doing. And the bottom line is, I don't think anybody would defend the fact that foreign diplomats are meddling in American politics. You also have a Mexican official that lives in the United States named Alejandro Robles. He serves in the Mexican Parliament. He bragged that in 2025, he was crossing the United States, organizing the militancy against Donald Trump, in his words. So, again, why we're allowing foreign government officials to do this is beyond me.
- [39:18]
Andrew
Yeah, I mean, listen, I've long been on this. I have a lot of conversations behind the scenes about how the Mexican government is incentivized to help illegals get into the United States, what to do when they get here. And by the way, Peter, send remittances back to Mexico. Mexico wants that money, too. And guess how they get it? They get it by sending their people to go get work here and then go into Western Union or Moneygram or one of these remittance companies that sends it back to their home country. And that's a really big deal, a really big part of the Mexican economy. And they're very aware of that. So what do they do? They send out pamphlets. They have a gia del migrante mexicano. So they give this to people that are attempting to cross. Obviously, the border is way more secure now, but it wasn't just a little while ago and there was millions of them coming over. And they're incentivized. So the whole thing. And your point is so well made. 53. There's no excuse for having 53 Mexican consulates in the United States. This is a foreign invasion of another kind. And they're incentivized to turn red states blue because that will give more immigrants opportunity to cross because they know the Democrats are pro open borders, so they're going to bring them in. Then you get blue states, you get less pushback against this, you get more remittances.
- [40:38]
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, no, you're exactly right. It's a cycle that Mexico's elite benefits from. And it's not just a question of, you know, the money or we're going to meddle in politics. Mexico actually has ambitions in the United States. There's this concept reconquista. I always thought it was like a kind of a ridiculous conspiracy theory, except for the fact that Mexico's leaders talk about it all the time. And what they mean is re exerting sovereignty over parts of America that they lost in the 19th century as a result of the U. S. Mexican war when they sold territories to us. They actually talk about this openly. And these aren't kooks. These are the most powerful senators in Mexico. These are top aides to president Sheinbaum. This is former president Amlodipine. And they talk about exerting Mexico's sovereignty into the United States. So how do they do that? Well, one of the things they've done is they have elected Mexican officials, senators and members of parliament who live full time in the United States. And their job is to represent Mexicans living in the United States before the Mexican government. That is a massive erosion of our sovereignty. Imagine if we did that to Canada. Imagine if we said we're going to have a congressman representing Americans living in Alberta. The Canadians would never go for that and for rightful reason. But that's precisely what Mexico is doing. So this is an effort to immigrate, to use immigration as a weapon, to weaponize immigration. And I think we need to recognize that, yes, it creates unsafe streets, mass immigration, suppresses wages, all the issues that we have talked about for years, but there's also a weaponization that is designed to undermine the United States states. And they are open about it in their discussions among themselves, and I quote them extensively in the book. So when Shinebaum attacks me you notice she doesn't deal with any of the evidence. She doesn't deal with the fact that I quote one of her top aides in a December 2024 report saying, through mass migration, we are retaking portions of the United States. She doesn't deal with that. She simply says this is a conspiracy theory and wants it to go away.
- [42:50]
Blake
It's really infuriating. And it gets at the power of media narratives to gu things because we hear endlessly, we hear a lot about China, justifiably, we hear endlessly about Israel allegedly controlling the United States or influencing this in the United States. And then it's just right in front of us that a country next door to us that has by far the most immigration into the United States will openly talk about this, openly gloat about the effect it has. The effect is so clearly negative overall on the United States. It's a country that has a long history of bad blood with us. And at the same time, it's like the major media and even, frankly, a lot of the right wing media, they just almost conspire to just have it not be talked about. And I think that's a bigger picture thing, because you think of, does anyone really know Mexico's history in the US Very few people do, despite the fact that it's right next door to us and people vacation there and so many of them move here. People don't know a lot about Mexico. They don't talk a lot about Mexico. They don't think about the effect Mexico has on the United States. You hear more about Canada.
- [43:49]
Peter Schweitzer
No, I think that's a really important point. And also, frankly, the people that don't take Mexico's ambition seriously are kind of stereotyping them. I mean, they'll say, like, come on, it's Mexico. They're corrupt, they're kind of hapless. No, I mean, I think that does not give the Mexican political elite a lot of credit. And I will give credit to the Trump administration. When the book came out, I actually met in the Oval Office with the president, with the Treasury Secretary Bessen, and with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, laid out what Mexico was doing, what China was doing. They've taken a lot of action on the issue of birth tourism that I raised with them. But they also announced several weeks ago that they are reviewing the political activities of the 53 consulates that Mexico has in the United States. So again, in keeping with form, the Trump administration is not concerned about taking bold action when they think it's necessary. And I don't think any other modern president would have undertaken this review with regards to Mexico. So I think it's very encouraging.
- [44:53]
Andrew
Peter, you came on the show when your book launched, and I thought it was so important. You exposed a pretty devastating fact about birth tourism. And we call it birth tourism, but really that's. It's not an aggressive enough term, actually, because it's an invasion takeover tourism. And I mean, when we talk about the numbers of Chinese alone, and then we put that in context of the Supreme Court and that decision on birthright citizenship, I'm not hearing good reports that we're going to get this, the ruling the way that we should. I'm holding out hope, but just set the stakes for the audience. How big, big of an issue is this, actually? And maybe, Blake, look at some of the states and the margins of victory versus how many Chinese immigrants there are. The floor is yours, Peter.
- [45:47]
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, I mean, it's a huge problem when you look at the 14th amendment, this sort of radical interpretation that basically the left has proposed, which is anybody who gets their toe across the border and gives birth, that child is granted citizenship. Even if the child is raised overseas. When they turn 18, they're going to be able to vote, they're going to be able to get government jobs, they can sponsor their parents as permanent residents. It's a huge vulnerability. And what China has done is exploited this on an industrial scale as only China can do. So what we found was that there are more than 500 China business, sorry, birth tourism companies operating in the United States and in China. They advertise openly in China. The Chinese Communist Party newspaper, the People's Daily has run stories encouraging members of the Chinese elite to do this. And what they essentially do is they send their girlfriends, their wives to the United States, they pay this firm, they get them into the country, they give birth to a baby, they get that all important birth certificate that says born in the United States. They fly home, they raise that child in China. And these are children of the elites. These are military officers, intelligence officers, CCP officials, people with a propaganda ministry. And that child will be raised in China. And then when you look at the scale of it, nobody knows in the United States how many are doing this. Because when you get a birth certificate issued in our country, we don't know who the nationality of the birth parents are. But the Chinese have looked at this, and the Chinese government and Chinese research firms say that on average, since 2013, every single year, roughly 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States. That includes that includes California, that includes Hawaii, that includes territories like Saipan, which the same rule applies. They get U.S. citizenship. So what that means is right now there are, according to the Chinese, more than 1 million U.S. citizens. I'll put that in air quotes being raised in China right now, and they're going to be able to start voting around 2030. And again, I shared this with President Trump in the Oval Office with Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Besant, The White House counsel was there. The president turned to the White House counsel and says, we need to get this to the Solicitor General. And this was, in fact, part of the debate when this was argued before the Supreme Court. I agree with you. I don't think it looks good for the Supreme Court on the issue of birthright citizenship. But I do hold out a sliver of hope. I think the court may, may come back and say that Trump can't do this through executive order, but that Congress should have the ability to limit the scope of birthright citizenship. In other words, say if you're here illegally, if you're here on birth tourism, this does not apply. And the reason I say that is Brett Kavanaugh was asking the ACLU attorney who was arguing the other side on this issue, and she said, no, you shouldn't be able to limit it at all. And Kavanaugh, who I think is kind of one of these guys in the bubble, was kind of incredulous, saying, you're kidding me, right? You're saying you can't put any. So I'm hoping the court will at least come back and say Congress can, in fact, put constraints on this. And then it's a question of getting that body in Washington, D.C. to actually do something about it.
- [49:17]
Andrew
You know, I was speaking with somebody who knows the court very well, and they were saying that John Roberts in particular has this great nation theory. Really, it's sort of unideological, but it's his lens through which he filters his decisions, which is, would a great nation allow XYZ to happen? And the question really is, would a great nation allow a foreign power, its chief adversary on the international stage, the ccp, to game our immigration system to potentially deliver a decisive electoral blow to us because they can influence states? The margin of victory in some of these states is 10,000, 20,000, 30,000. We're talking over a million million point five Chinese nationals that would be allowed to vote in our elections, to do whatever, to influence directly via our representative democracy, to change the outcome of elections. Would a great nation do that? Of course, the answer is no, it's
- [50:19]
Blake
such a facile way to view it because of course, you know, they'll bring this up and then I'll say, well, would a great nation take away citizenship from these vulnerable children? That's how, that's how he's gonna end up framing it. And that's why we're not optimistic about this case when as you say, it's extremely obvious. How about when America was a great nation, what did it do? And America as a great nation clearly did not prioritize allowing people to sail entirely around the world and just take over this country. When America was a great nation, it didn't have unlimited welfare programs that a person could walk off a boat and loot at will because we don't enforce them and have no standards. And yet that's also what they're doing.
- [50:55]
Andrew
Yeah, I mean it's a ludicrous operation. We are a great nation, but we should not be allowed to be made suckers of by foreign nationals that especially want the worst for America. Make no buts about it. And Peter, you should end on this note. What does the CCP really want for America? Do they want our good or do they want our ill?
- [51:15]
Peter Schweitzer
Well, you know, I quote him in the book and you can find it online if you, if you go and look at some of even the Chinese CCP English language sources. They say that they view this as a civilizational struggle. This is not just about military conflict and trade and spheres of influence. It is a civilizational war between, in their words, the Judeo Christian west and the ccp. And they intend to win it. And what I would add to what you said I think very well about Justice Roberts view is it's been said numerous times by Justices that are more liberal and those that are more conservative, the US Constitution is not a suicide pact. And given how easy it is for these million foreign nationals who are now US citizens who have no connection to our country to establish citizenship in so many states. You can literally show up in some states a week before an election and this has happened where 25 foreign nationals will rent an apartment, claim citizenship and vote in that election. That is the kind of manipulation you are setting yourself up for. So hopefully the Court comes to its senses and makes the right choice. But we've got to keep fighting on this issue because it represents the future challenge for a country. This invasion or what I call this invisible coup.
- [52:36]
Andrew
Invisible coup. Get your copy today. Peter, great work as always. And you know, just a note, the 14th Amendment does not grant birthright citizenship to Illegals. As a matter of fact, that's not what it was intended for. So let's just start there. Supreme Court. It's not that hard. So obvious. Peter Schweitzer. Thank you, my friend. We'll talk to you soon.
- [52:53]
Peter Schweitzer
Oh, it's great to be with you. Thanks,
- [52:57]

Haven't had him on the show in way too long, by the way. Alex. And it occurred to me that that was the truth, that I was like, alex, you got to come on. So how you doing, my friend? How are things?
- [54:36]
Alex Stein
I'm doing good. Things are good. You know, we have broke this huge story. Trevor Williams was being discriminated by the director of community relations for the Washington Nationals. And actually have some breaking news that I'm going to break on your show right here. Fantastic for mine. So I am good friends with Derek Holland. He played in the majors for 13 seasons and he played on the Pirates with Trevor Williams. And so he called Trevor Williams last night and Trevor Williams is pissed. And the only reason that he hasn't been more outspoken and really address this is because Trevor Williams is such a team player. He doesn't want to rock the boat. He doesn't want to mess up the season. He's on the iron. But I just have inside information straight from Trevor Williams. He's really upset. But it is frustrating because we need Trevor Williams to speak out. Because sadly, if this was a Muslim player, a Jewish player, a black player, a Chinese player, it would be the biggest mainstream story, you know, of all of sports and just, you know, the political world. But because it's a Christian, and traditionally Christians are oftentimes discriminated against, Christians don't fight back enough. You know, they are, you know, easily bullied. And so that's why we need Trevor Williams to come out and say something. But I do actually appreciate that he's putting the team first.
- [55:41]
Andrew
I love that. Well, that's great news, and I'm glad to hear that he's upset. He should be. So let's give the audience a little primer here. And just in case you're not aware of this. So Alex Stein has teamed up with James o', Keefe, and they did another sting operation. We love James here. They did a sting operation on the Washington Nationals director of community relations. And the guy just was, like, vicious to Trevor Williams, basically, if you've ever been to a baseball game. And one of the reasons I want to do this story, Alex, I'm a huge baseball fan. Love it. I don't miss a game at night, if I can. I'm a Dodgers fan. Deal with it. And so, like, I try and catch all the games, but they do these little things where they, like, in between the. The innings, you know, while they're warming up and the offense is going to defense and they're switching over, they'll do, like, fun things, like, is a hot dog a sandwich game? Right? And then the fans have to ask the question, and they get the players involved, and it's goofy, it's fun. It's kind of entertainment. In between innings, this guy dogs on him just like, he's too Christian. Whatever. Here you go. Clip 31.
- [56:43]
Sean Hudson
One of our pitchers to Trevor Williams. He is very cappy. The Dodgers had a group out to the stadium who were drag queens lose sometimes dressed up as nuts. He went on, like, a social media, like, this is wrong. This is my religion. You all are mocking it because of that. We don't use him on social. Like, when they're like, is a hot dog a sandwich? And, like, the players come up, you know what I mean? Like, we don't ask him if you ever come to a Nats game. There is someone on our team who is responsible for figuring out everything about you. We're getting your a plethora of your Google history. One of our pitchers to Trevor Williams.
- [57:22]
Andrew
Okay, the religious discrimination is bad enough here, Alex, but that last part that he admitted to that like they're basically tracking everybody that comes into this into the stadium, like that's terrifying.
- [57:36]
Alex Stein
Well Andrew, that's what I thought too. But if you actually ask people because we've done some man on the street videos talking about this specific story and everybody is kind of just understands when you sign the terms of service, we don't even have privacy anymore. So I would have thought more people would be outraged on the fact that when you go to a baseball game, they're getting all of their Google data. But really and truly, people don't even care about that. And I was actually really shocked. I was really, really surprised that people were not more upset about the Google data leak because I was very upset when he said that.
- [58:04]
Andrew
Well so. And I want to remind people of this, this 2023 story with the Dodgers because again, I'm a Dodger fan and it pissed me right off, I'll tell you that much. The Dodgers made the decision to honor this queer and trans activist performance group that dresses in satirical nun habits. It's called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. And it was a complete disgrace. And it was. I mean, you're a Catholic here. I mean I don't want to steal the thunder from you, but they dressed. There's such a great queer trannies dressed up like Catholic nuns and it was
- [58:42]
Blake
just a complete mockery. You could not get away with it with any non Muslims.
- [58:46]
Andrew
Try doing that to Muslims.

Like if we the sisters of Durka Durka Jihad and they like fake blow themselves up. Do you think Dodgers would do that display at a game? I would go to that game, but
- [58:56]
Andrew
I don't think they would though, to answer your question. Yeah, and they got the community hero award. They got the community hero award. And now I was paying very close attention to the story. Guys like Blake Trinen, guys like Clayton Kershaw at the time. I mean Clayton went straight to the Dodgers management and said this is offensive. You need to bring back where we the day where we get to share our faith. So the Dodgers for years had done a share their faith day. So you could come to the stadium early and the Dodgers, like Christian Dodgers would actually preach the gospel and ask people to accept Christ. At Dodger Stadium. They this for years for I think after Covid they stopped. During COVID they stopped and they didn't bring it back. So Clayton Kershaw demanded they bring it back, and now they have it back every year. So they do a whole gospel presentation because of this. Thanks to Clayton Kershaw.

Alex Stein
Well, two little factoids. I want to say that I actually was Little League teammates with Clayton Kershaw at Highland Park. No kidding. I played football. Yes. And I've. Matthew Stafford is my quarterback. I actually just recently tweeted a picture of when we were on our Little League.
- [59:59]
Andrew
They're great guys.
- [60:00]
Alex Stein
Clayton Kershaw, awesome. But Clayton Kershaw got more canceled for putting a Bible verse on his hat than, you know, actually having a striptease outside of the stadium. Which, let's be real, we're adults, we like sports, but it's really for kids. I mean, it's bringing your family to the game and having this cool experience.
- [60:15]
Andrew
My kids are begging me to take them to a Dodger game right now. I'm genuine.
- [60:19]
Blake
Show hasn't a slump.
- [60:20]
Alex Stein
Why have a strip show? It makes no sense, though, Andrew. They're having a drag queen strip show outside of a baseball game. You know, I, I, I, maybe I understand. In West Hollywood, at a pride parade, which I don't, you know, I don't like that. I don't want that. But I mean, there is a time and place for everything. And I don't think that there is a worse place to try to indoctrinate kids into this weird transgender ideology other than a baseball game. And so this is a targeted attack on the youth. And with Trevor Williams, the other thing I wanted to say, one of the reasons that people haven't talked about is the reason why he was targeted was not just for speaking out against the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the transgenders. At the beginning baseball game, he actually, every single team that he's been on, he leads a Bible study with all the players. Derek Holland was part of that Bible study. So he's not just like a milquetoast Christian. He's a all in Catholic guy that wants to spread the gospel to everybody that he can. So that's why he was targeted. And this, like I said, this is a big story, but it should be much bigger.
- [61:16]
Andrew
And just to put a finer point on it, they're basically relegating this guy to obscurity because he's a Catholic. They won't put him on any of the social media. They won't put him on any of the fan videos. They won't put him on anything. They're like, you know, to quote a, to quote a Great woman, actually. You know, they're just. It's the shut up and dribble. But it's not because he's backing somebody in China and the CCP and billions of dollars. It's because he's backing. Jesus Christ. That's how obscene this is. You got to call Sean Hudson, director of community relations for the Washington Nationals, who's now on leave, thank goodness, thanks to you guys. You got to call him and confront him. I thought this was a fascinating video. I don't understand how you made this happen. So I want the backstory after the video. Stop 45.
- [61:59]
Alex Stein
Hey, Sean. This is Alex Stein. How are you doing, my friend?
- [62:02]
Andrew
I'm well. How are you?
- [62:03]
Alex Stein
Well, you know, the Nationals are doing okay this year, but I had a question. Do you know when Trevor Williams is going to be back on the field?
- [62:11]
Andrew
Great question. He is rehabbing right now, throwing bullpen sessions, which is really exciting.
- [62:17]
Alex Stein
Do you think it'd be realistic when he's back and he's playing, would you be willing to share him on the social media in the future? Because we know that there's a team directive right now where you said that he's not allowed to be shared because he's a Christian.
- [62:28]
Andrew
Is that correct?
- [62:29]
Alex Stein
You said that you can't share him because he was against a transgender nun group for the Dodgers or something.
- [62:35]
Andrew
That doesn't sound like something. I would say that the players each are kind of up to their own discretion on how widely they want to be shared on social.
- [62:45]
Alex Stein
Oh, so the players choose to be shared on social. You don't choose that?
- [62:48]
Andrew
Well, it's kind of like some guys are more engaging than the other ones. It's kind of like. And it goes on. And in the edit, because we had to kind of fast forward it. But, like, in the edit, you. You go back to the video we played before, where he's doing exactly what you're calling him out on. So for two questions, what has happened to him since he is on leave, but tell that story? And two, how the heck did you get him on the phone and get him. So, like, trying to engage you like he was talking to somebody that was going to be friendly to him?
- [63:17]
Alex Stein
Well, you know, I kind of tried to be good cop on the phone. I think that's why he was engaging with me at first. And he is on administrative leave, which is good. But this is a big lesson that everybody needs to learn. If you look like uncle fester and you're £300 and you're a short, bald guy, and you're on a date with a 10, you probably shouldn't go and spill your guts. I think that was his first mistake, trying to impress a hot girl. And I know the undercover journalist, I'm not going to exposure, but she is very attractive, way out of his league. So that is a lesson that everybody needs to learn. If you're on a date and she's out of your league, you do not give her any inside information. And, you know, this is the other thing that is frustrating about this, Andrew. Of course we got to call this out. But, you know, I don't like life ruination. You know, I don't like the fact that this guy's life is ruined, but I don't like that he's targeting, you know, Trevor Williams for being Christian. So it's just like, like, like I said, like, I don't feel bad at all. I think it's very important that we expose this. But I just hate that this is the world that we live in. I hate that you guys get attacked. I don't like, you know, I love. I want to be copacetic. I want to sing Kumbaya and hold hands and have fun. Maybe I'm a Woodstock hippie. So it does kind of stink that this guy's career is over. He's never going to work in the majors probably ever again. But that's just the cold, hard reality. When you discriminate against a player for his Christianity or his race or anything for that matter, you shouldn't be working in a professional sports organization. So it's a very bad day for Sean Hudson. I don't know how he recovers. And one of the most egregious things that he said, he said he'd rather work for the Boston Red Sox because they're more liberal. And in my mind, I thought traditionally, Boston is known as kind of a, you know, working class. Well, that's what I'm saying. I just, I didn't think that they were that woke. I know the city of Boston is,
- [64:46]
Andrew
but I thought this was a lot more heartbreaking. Yeah, he wants to be a communist in Boston. Alex Stein. You have a show here on the Real America's Voice network. Tell us about it.

Alex Stein
30 seconds after hours with Alex Stein. Monday through Friday, 11:00pm Eastern. We got some great guests tonight. We have a crazy guest on I'm sure you guys saw. Her name is Shelby Campbell and she is the Democrat running in Michigan against Theory Kadumda. I don't know is how to say his last name.
- [65:12]
Andrew
The guy that Abdul El Said Beagles.
- [65:14]
Alex Stein
Yeah, yeah. No, not Abdul said. The guy that his first name is T H R I. My point is she was well known for twerking, so we're about to call her out on that. But sadly, I'd rather have the twerking congresswoman than the freaking dog abuser.
- [65:28]
Andrew

As you guys know, if you've been watching for a little while, near and dear to my heart and to Blake's heart, both of our hearts, is the issue of immigration. We have to stay on it like white on rice. It is the total transformation of our country and it's happening right under our noses. Often it's happening legally, which is very upsetting. This is one of the reasons I've become a supporter of blowing up the filibuster, nuking it and getting stuff done. If we can, if we can, which is unclear. This is why we need to reform the US Senate little by little, piece by piece. We need Paxtons, not Cornyns. We need Lynch's, not Grahams. It's happening slowly but surely. The US Senate is getting reformed. So keep the faith, stay the course. We're making progress. But one of the senators that we lost, it was a good guy that was a friend of the show is Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen from the state of Oklahoma. He's now the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Now, there's been a little consternation within the base that he was not going to be tough enough that he was going to fold, that he was going to be giving goodies to illegals to try and make deals with Democrats. Okay, now listen, I do think that there needed to be some recalibration. Dhs, right. We lost the PR war and we need to come to grips with that, with what happened in Minnesota. You know, the Alex Preddy, the Renee, good stuff. They won that. They won that fight. We saw polling just swing wildly against us. Then you saw Homan go in there, he kind of settled things, settled the ship. And that's good. That's good. Because what we want, and I'll repeat this commas, not drama. You want lots of illegals getting out and you want low drama. You want to stay off the front page. Okay, but now Secretary Mullen is making some news and some headlines, and I think for a beautiful reason. It was an idea I floated on this show and it looks like it's found some fertile soil at DHS Place at 25.
- [68:28]
Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen
Then we have to decide where we're going to prioritize our federal employees. So we're not going to halt the flights. What we're saying is we just won't be able to process, process them because we don't have officers there. We're having to pull out our custom and border patrol officers that process these flights and put them in these facilities to help protect our employees coming out of work, by the way. And that's not their job. Their job is to do just what they said, custom and border protection. However, since local law enforcement isn't able to do their job because they said, quote, they don't have the resources, well, we have to prioritize, prioritize our resources as well.
- [69:04]
Andrew
So just to make sure you picked up what he's saying. He's saying that international flights to say, I don't know, Newark, New Jersey, where there's a bunch of ICE protests going on right now, well, if you are going to be a sanctuary city and you're not going to enforce immigration law, well, then why should we have to handle your customs and border protection at the airports for international flights? You know what? As a matter of fact, maybe there's a red state, maybe Florida, maybe Texas, that could take those flights and do a better job managing deportations and illegal visa overstays and the like. This is a massive, massive vulnerability for blue states that want the international travel, they want the tourist money. So all of a sudden you're going to make it really hard for tourists to get to New York City. Because they're not going to enforce immigration laws or Newark, New Jersey. This is a great idea. It's thinking outside of the box and I totally support it. Here's what I'll just say about Secretary, have a little faith. I'm hearing things behind the scenes that we're getting commas, not dramas, okay? That's what we want. We want commas, not dramas. There's a way to work and cooperate and keep things off the front page that is good for the country. And we'll get more of these illegals out of it. Okay? But there's another story going on, Blake, about a hunger strike.
- [70:19]
Blake
Hunger strikes.
- [70:20]
Andrew
Yes, hunger strikes. So.
- [70:22]
Blake
So people are so upset at the prospect of being sent out of our country, which we're told is irredeemably sexist and racist and oppressive and genocidal and really the worst country to ever exist in human history if you're not white. And they're so upset at the prospect of being sent away from it that they are refusing to eat. And they're also mad because they're not getting enough ethnic food, which we are told is the main reason we need immigration is we won't have nice enough restaurants otherwise.
- [70:48]
Andrew
Remember when Piers Morgan said, you know, he would trade bunch of immigrants as long as he could get his chicken curry, his chicken tikka masala, whatever it was.
- [70:56]
Blake
It's almost perfect poetry that people will say that because you could just imagine a children's story where someone loses their house because they're offered.
- [71:04]
Andrew
It's literally the story of Esau giving up his birthright for a freaking bowl of porridge. But in this case it's chicken tikka masala.
- [71:11]
Blake
In CS Lewis, they feed him Turkish delight to convince him to do evil,
- [71:15]
Andrew
which is nasty place. Out 30.
- [71:18]
Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen
It shows that this radical left Democrats priorities when they decide to go out and protest a detention center where we're housing rapists, child predators, murderers. They say that they're. That it's because they're on a hunger strike when there was only a handful of individuals that was refusing to eat because they want their ethnic group or their ethnic right food. Well, they can go back to the country and get whatever food they want. The fact is we're giving them the calories say they want. This isn't Holiday Inn.
- [71:45]
Andrew
It's not a Holiday Inn. Here's my word to you. If you are going to get detained by ICE and then be defiant and want to protest that with a hunger strike, be my guest. Hunger strike away. And the words of Secretary Mullen are spot on. If you want your ethnic food, you can get the hell out, deport, go home, you'll get all the ethnic food you want. And that's the way it should be. We are not going to kowtow to these foreigners who want our culture to reflect theirs. This is our home, this is our country. And if you want your ethnic food, by all means we will even help you self deport. We'll give you a one way ticket back to whatever third world country you came from and you can enjoy your ethnic food there. That is obscene to me. And the fact that this kind of crap would have worked one administration ago shows you how far gone the Democrats have really become. Because, and I have to say this to all the black pillars and the accelerationists who say vote Democrat because we're not getting what we want. Goodness gracious, could you imagine the Biden administration response to this? First of all, they wouldn't be in detention. And second of all, they'd be giving them debit cards full of cash and a plane ticket to their favorite US City with free housing at the expense of veterans that can't find homes. And they would say, I'm so sorry we're so racist. Please welcome in and take everything. And here's a vote. By the way, you can also vote. So when you are tempted to black pill, when you're tempted to give in to despair into nihilism, just remember how much better things actually are under this administration. Do you get everything you want all the time? No. But at least you have a secretary of Department of Homeland Security saying take a hike. This isn't the holiday end. Get real. And in the meantime, hopefully we can get peace in Iran and that we can start focusing domestically. There's a lot of good things, a lot of good things happening and it's up to us to stay focused and positive, stay focused on winning, not giving in to despair. Blake, final word to you.
- [73:44]
Blake
You know, you get a country and we're very lucky to have a very good one. And it would be a very big shame if we threw it all away in order to keep our ethnic restaurants or to keep from offending people. And there's example after example throughout history. We can, I actually think of that standardized test story we did yesterday where we can have unlimited nice things in America. We can have incredible schools, we can have the best education system in the world. We just have the courage to have, to have the courage to come out and say some people are smarter than other people and we have ways of finding that out. And it's the same thing with immigration. We can have an amazing country that brings in only the absolute best people. We just have willing to admit some people are worth having and some people aren't. That's all you have to do. You have to admit that. And you can have the best country in the world for centuries to come. You just have to go through the awkward thing of saying some people are better.
