- [00:15]

Go to noblegold investments.com okay, everybody, welcome. We are here live in beautiful San Diego. We have a live audience here and we also have producer Andrew as well here on this beautiful Friday. And it is a great day to be alive. Lots of news to cover, so let's dive into it. There's a lot of news over the weekend, including a jobs report. What was the jobs report this morning, Andrew?
- [01:20]
Andrew
Well, the jobs report beat expectations. I think Stephen Moore put it really well where this is over 400,000 actual new jobs that, that, that the people being employed over 400,000 jobs report will say 177,000. That beat Wall street expectations was had it around 130,000 but nonfarm payroll went through the roof. We're seeing a lot of manufacturing get reshored. So the, the changes that President Trump is making in the economy, namely through tariffs, tax incentives, regulatory incentives, they're already showing signs that those are working. Stock market took off like a rocket this morning. And, and actually what's interesting, two weeks ago, Charlie, everybody was saying the sky is falling, the sky is falling. We got a recession is imminent. And here we are about two weeks later, the stock market's up 2,800 points and counting. And you have a lot of these changes that are being implemented in the economy already taking effect.
- [02:16]
Charlie Kirk
So do we have the clip of Steve Moore talking about this? Let's go here. I think I have it. 486, let's play cut. 486. 436,000 increase in the number of people who are employed. So this is an amazing report. The, the, the Number of people, the labor force participation rate rose. So this is a really strong number. I want to mention one other quick thing. You know, about two weeks ago, every headline, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, every was, oh, the stock market is crashing. And since then the market has been up, what, like 2,800 points?
- [02:53]
Andrew
I don't see headlines about that.
- [02:57]
Charlie Kirk
Well, it's important to note too that the stock market is not the economy. The stock market can react to jitters and news. The economy is growing incredibly strong and is only going to grow stronger with the tax cut that we see coming and deregulation. Let's go to CNBC. Let's play cut 483, the job job.
- [03:14]
Andrew
Jobs report for April hitting the wires, non farm payrolls, a greater 177,000. We're expecting, as Joe pointed out, 133,000 177,000 would be the second best of the year. Outside of what's in the rearview mirror.
- [03:31]
Charlie Kirk
Now, you have to wonder, are the Democrats happy about this? I mean, they're the ones saying that the recession is, are they thrilled that the American economy is doing better and, and it's actually only going to further improve. You see, the prediction was that by now we would have major job losses. We have the tariffs. They said by the summer we're going to see major drop offs. But this jobs report has exceeded expectations.
- [03:49]
Andrew
Well, yeah, this just reminds me of just about every other job chapter of President Trump's political career where the elites and the experts tell us he's doing it wrong, only to find out in the end that he's doing it right, that his instincts have been right all along. Now he's not right about everything. Listen, we're free to disagree with President Trump, but time and time again, whether it's foreign policy, energy policy, tariffs, President Trump has, has an instinct for these things. He's a businessman. He's seen it up close and personal. I've always been a fan of tariffs. We have internal disagreements on our team about tariffs. I get it that it causes jitters in the short term, but we're already seeing, especially with auto manufacturing where they're starting to replace, you know, producers and their supply chains. They're reassuring those supply chains. They're already working on it. Ford has come out, said they're building two new plants, Hyundai, Toyota, all of them are making moves to reassure supply chains which is going to increase American.
- [04:46]
Charlie Kirk
And also remember, remember they told us that if the border was closed, it would crater America without cheap illegal labor. This is a Very important point. The border is completely secure, 99% border crossing. Incredible. And then we have deportations happening. So it turns out actually when you close the border, more Americans get hired. That actually on the books. Like what a concept. Well, it's a direct correlation with you close the southern border and American jobs actually increase.
- [05:11]
Andrew
There's actually a clip from Bernie Sanders in 2015 talking about how he is not for open borders. Why? Because that depresses American wages. This is a very, very clear line. And you've made this point on the show a bunch of times. And it's a point that it's worth reiterating is that we are looking down the barrel of an AI revolution, of a robotic revolution. So if you're going to keep flooding your country with cheap third world labor, it's unnecessary. You're also going to be causing a problem down the road where those jobs no longer exist. And that timeframe is way closer than most people realize.
- [05:43]
Charlie Kirk
Here's Scott Besant, cut 145 talking about how the doomsdayer said it was going to be the worst stock market ever. Again, the stock market is not the economy. The stock market can react to economic news, but we're seeing the stock market catch up remarkably, I think was at 41. The Dow is at 41,000 this morning. Again, invest for the long term, Everybody play cut 145. There was a story 10 days ago that said this is the worst April for the stock market since the Great Depression. Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up on the month of April. And I haven't seen a story that says, oh, stock market has biggest bounce back ever. So I, well, it certainly certainly has gone back and forth. I think a lot of this is media driven, of course, and this is the most important clip of them all, which is this is Joel scheilman, who's a CEO of a company called E Shares. Even these CEOs believe the propaganda. They think like, well, the economy must be bad because everyone says the economy is bad. So he is on the front lines of hiring and investing and he's even surprised at how good the numbers are. Let's play cut for 89. What's interesting, the numbers, by the way, were very I was a little surprised to see how strong they were. But this is very encouraging because we're already seeing many of the companies dependent upon foreign suppliers already reassuring some of their jobs. In fact, I've talked, I talked just recently to a couple of entrepreneurs who are getting off their China dependency. They are going to other Southeast Asia companies for their supplies. And they're starting to look at domestic manufacturers. So they're putting orders in already for the third and fourth quarter for this. So, and you combine all this together, President Trump, this economy will only get better. And it's very important, everybody, because the media's almost been calling and cheering for an economic collapse. I mean, can you think of anything more sinister and more wicked than a group of people that want Americans to suffer? They actually, if they got their way, the market would go down to, you know, 25,000 and people would be out of work. They say, see, I told you Trump is this terrible and awful person.
- [07:42]
Andrew
Well, it's an existential dilemma for them, though, Charlie, because if Trump succeeds, that means their entire worldview is cast into doubt.
- [07:48]
Charlie Kirk
These are bad people. I hate to say it that way. They're not patriots. If you are cheering for the downfall of America and you're cheering for, if you want bad economic news, then you care much more about political power than any sort of patriotic allegiance to the United States. You wanted to play a piece of tape here?
- [08:03]
Andrew
Yeah, I want to play Charles Payne. 484. One more piece of econ here. And this is talking about manufacturing directly. 484 As I look at this initially.
- [08:10]
Charlie Kirk
The one thing that really jumps out.
- [08:12]
Andrew
To me that I love transportation and warehousing. 29,000, the price, some of this manufacturing.
- [08:19]
Charlie Kirk
Some of these deals that the White.
- [08:20]
Andrew
House has announced, maybe we're starting to.
- [08:22]
Charlie Kirk
See that already play out. What talk about.
- [08:25]
Andrew
Yeah, I mean, so. So the White House has said that it's over 500 or $5 trillion in foreign investment in manufacturing. And by the way, speaking to our earlier point about technology and robotics and AI, these are investments in warehousing, data warehousing, energy capacity. These are high tech investments in the future from Apple, Nvidia and others. SoftBank. This is not like, you know, those images in your head of the steel welders, although we love the steel. Steel mills. Don't get me wrong, this is the jobs of the future.
- [08:59]
Charlie Kirk
Advanced manufacturing.
- [09:00]
Andrew
Exactly.
- [09:00]
Charlie Kirk
This is a very breaking news day. Late last night, we're going to cover this next. President Trump signed an executive order defunding NPR and pbs. Do we like that? Everybody? Do we like that? See, we have a live audience here in San Diego.
- [09:13]
Andrew
Interaction.
- [09:14]
Charlie Kirk
They love it. And I didn't have to tell them, I didn't have to ask them to clap like Jeb Bush. They loved it. And we're also going to go deeper into some of the other really Good news of the day, including what I thought was a phenomenal segment that Jesse Waters did with Doge. I don't know if you guys caught it or not. It was a really, really good picture of these super geniuses that are going through the spending practices of our federal government. And just look. We'll talk about the psychology of Elon Musk and how he has all the money in the world and he's going in to try to make our government more efficient. And that makes you a villain in modern America. Ask 10 people to define the word capitalism. How many different responses do you think you'll get? This is a word that comes up all the time, but does anyone know what it really means? Do you? Hillsdale College offers more than 40 free online courses. That's right. Free online courses on subjects like the book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the history of the ancient Christian church. It's hard for me to even say which is my personal favorite. You guys have got to take these online courses. They've recently launched a new course, understanding Capitalism, that I've been watching. In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a part in our economic system, why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom, and why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it. Right now, go to charlieforhillsdale.com to enroll. There's no cost and it's easy to get started. That's charlieforhillsdale.com the Register C H A R L I E for hillsdale.com late last night, President Donald Trump signed a, I would say a pretty ambitious executive order, one that I truly appreciate, which is he defunded npr. I got to do that in your NPR voice.
- [11:01]
Andrew
It's amazing how you don't even have to call. There's no applause. Sign here.
- [11:04]
Charlie Kirk
I'm gonna do that in my NPR voice.
- [11:07]
Andrew
It's very exciting.
- [11:08]
Charlie Kirk
You see, I always say that it is. NPR is left wing radicalism said very smoothly.
- [11:16]
Andrew
It's like, it's like laundered in.
- [11:18]
Charlie Kirk
I know.
- [11:18]
Andrew
They launder in the radical.
- [11:20]
Charlie Kirk
Welcome, everybody, to the NPR broadcast.
- [11:22]
Andrew
Wouldn't it be nice if capitalism was no more?
- [11:25]
Charlie Kirk
Could you. Did you know you're a racist? Yeah. Buy a tote bag.
- [11:29]
Andrew
Did you hear that? White people are awful.
- [11:32]
Charlie Kirk
Exactly. Let's go. Do we have a cut? Cut. Let's go. Cut 507. President Trump defunding NPR and PBS.
- [11:40]
Andrew
President Trump is looking to slash funding for NPR and PBS alleging bias in their news reporting. The president signing an executive order on.
- [11:49]
Charlie Kirk
Thursday directing several agencies to stop federal funding for the public broadcasters.
- [11:55]
Andrew
That order also calls for the Corpor.
- [11:57]
Charlie Kirk
For Public Broadcasting to root out indirect sources of public financing for PBS and npr. Both get about half a billion dollars in public funds now. Not Time out now. Defunding is also one way to put it. But here's my challenge to npr. Go raise your own money. Like Turning Point USA has to raise money. You see, you gotta go. You gotta go meet your own donors. You gotta go talk to people. Just don't go to the US Taxpayer and have us subsidize your radicalism. And so think about that. That's half a billion dollars.
- [12:28]
Andrew
I mean, I think NPR and PBS are completely redundant anyways. You already have New York Times, right? I mean, what do we need? What do we need NPR and PBS for?
- [12:37]
Charlie Kirk
The problem with pbs.
- [12:38]
Andrew
PBS used to have some good stuff.
- [12:39]
Charlie Kirk
Is that PBS is able to get into child environments because it's PBS with incredibly sexually explicit content that is now laced in this trans insanity, this radicalism and the critical theory. But look, npr, NPR especially, has become. It's too bad, because I actually remember a different NPR growing up. I mean, they were still liberal, but it was at least, like, entertaining. I mean, you guys remember Garrison Keiller was like Little House on the. Not Little House on the Prairie. Was that what it was called? It was. Was that what it was? Little House on the Prairie, Right. No, it was what? Prairie Home Companion. That was close. He was from Mankato, Minnesota, if I remember correctly. Right. And that was somewhat listenable. And then. Wait, wait, don't tell me. Was a pretty good show, if you guys remember, on npr. And then they had the. The car show every Saturday morning, which. Right. You know, I'm talking about, like. And now you listen to npr, and they might still have these shows, but this is what's important. NPR was really smart. They took the taxpayer money and they diversified into podcasting. And NPR podcasts are very popular because they have $500 million to produce it. And they are, like, unspeakably radical.
- [13:49]
Andrew
That sounds like they should be making money then, Charlie.
- [13:51]
Charlie Kirk
Well, that's right. But here's the thing. So the third biggest podcast out there is npr. We right now are on the. On the charts. We're number nine, which is great in Apple news. And just so we're clear, I go through NPR's list, like, the list of their episodes. Continued Crackdown on Immigration, Trump Defies the Law. I mean, it's so outrageous. And so if you want to go do that npr, you've got to sell a lot more tote bags if you want to finance yourself. And that's fine. This is my position with Harvard. No one's saying you can't exist. Go raise your own money, go to donors like we do on the conservative side and go convince people to voluntarily give you money.
- [14:26]
Andrew
You know what would happen if PBS and NPR had to start, you know, doing, making money and justifying their own existence? You'd get classics like Ken Burns Baseball. Come on. That was actually fantastic. If you have a. If, do we have any baseball fans out here in the audience? Come on now, give me some. All right, thank you. So Ken Burns and baseball, they replay this stuff still because it's still their most popular content as opposed to their more radical stuff.
- [14:50]
Charlie Kirk
But yeah, and like the New York Times is not publicly financed and they do fine. They have a subscription based model and I do not. Here's the theory. They know this NPR is so redundant. What niche are they really feeling other than they're just more left wing noise? And I will say this. If the Republicans in Congress fail to defund NPR and PBS because Trump can only do so much by an executive order, that will be one of the easiest failures that we have seen from a Republican Congress. Could you imagine if $500 million of taxpayer money was going to Breitbart Turning Point USA or the Charlie Kirk? So they would never, the Democrats would never put up with it. But that is an equivalent. And another funny thing is they often say it almost gets no money. So this is pointless. Okay, so what's the holdup? If they say, like, well, we don't get that much Money, I'm sorry, $500 million is a lot of money when you're running a media operation. Every single year, every single year, every year you get $500 million. Not to mention during all the Florida palooza stuff post 2020, their articles about the looting and the rioting was so outrageous, was so out of, out of the norm. And so I got to be honest, I love this. It might not be a ton of money in the grand scheme of things, but beyond that, the rebalancing of the American narrative war that this would do the media landscape is remarkable. Think about how, how conservative this country could become if we weren't subsidizing the Democrat Party with our own taxpayer funding to have them have a bigger microphone than they actually should have. What does a mechanic and auto shop owner in Georgia, a taco restaurant operator in Arizona and a life saving medical innovator in Tennessee have in common. They're all small business owners and they're all thriving on TikTok. Across the US over 7.5 million businesses from family owned shops to entrepreneurs are using TikTok to compete and grow. We use TikTok all the time on the Charlie Kirk show. In fact, 74% of businesses on TikTok say TikTok has allowed them to scale their operations, increasing sales and expanding to new locations. And that growth means jobs. Today there's over 7.5 million US businesses on TikTok employing more than 28 million people. And that number keeps growing. Small businesses thrive on TikTok. Learn more about TikTok's contribution to the US economy at TikTok economic impact.com okay, let's, let's close the thought on NPR here. Yeah, and let me just, I made a point in the break that I think is important. When you do not have to raise your own money, you don't have to earn it and therefore you don't have to, you don't have to actually have the best possible product which allows you to become super radical. And so if NPR actually had to go to donors, donors would ask the question, well, what do you do? Why do you exist? What is your impact? Instead they just go to Congress, specifically Democrat members of Congress, and they say, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna do air cover for you and for your agenda.
- [17:39]
Andrew
You have a, they feel entitled to. Yeah, this is great. So throw 5:13 on the screen, please. So this is an article from npr and here's the headline. Trump says he's ending federal funding for NPR and pbs. They say he can't.
- [17:56]
Charlie Kirk
This is NPR reporting on itself in the third person.
- [17:59]
Andrew
In the third person. It's like they say they is you. Why don't you just say we think this is bad.
- [18:06]
Charlie Kirk
You know, this is them trying to be like, no, we're objective journalists. So I'm going to say that the third person, they, this is, this is.
- [18:13]
Andrew
The height of absurdity. But here it gets even more absurd because Kathryn Marr is the head of npr and this is a clip from her and she's, she's a radical who is trying to kind of whitewash some of her past. But you can't, you can't hide the eclipse. The Internet is forever. 5:15.
- [18:32]
Charlie Kirk
The number one challenge here that we, we see and is of course the.
- [18:35]
Andrew
First Amendment in the United States is.
- [18:38]
Charlie Kirk
A fairly robust protection of rights.
- [18:42]
Andrew
And, and that is a protection of.
- [18:44]
Charlie Kirk
Rights, both for platforms, which I actually think is very important that platforms have those rights to be able to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites.
- [18:51]
Andrew
But it also means that it is.
- [18:52]
Charlie Kirk
A little bit tricky to really address.
- [18:55]
Andrew
Some of the real challenges of where.
- [18:58]
Charlie Kirk
Does bad information come from and sort of the influence peddlers who have made a real market economy around it.
- [19:04]
Andrew
So this is the head of NPR saying that the First Amendment is a real problem for publishers. So she's anti American, she's anti free speech, and this is subsidized by taxpayers. And here's the last point I'm going to make, Charlie. The Democrats say this is an earmark of dictatorship that you're trying to play, you know, winners and losers in the media space. No, the earmark of a dictatorship and of authoritarian regime is that you have state sponsored media that says what you.
- [19:34]
Charlie Kirk
Want it to say, and that's what they have. Let's just be clear. Why is it that Canada has struggled to have an equivalent right wing movement? Because they have cbc, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which is all publicly financed and it is so, so left wing, and also the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, same sort of thing. So when you have these instruments, these organs that are funded by taxpayers. Now, thankfully in America, we are still a semblance of a free society. That and the First Amendment is our birthright. The reason we're able to push back on this nonsense is we're able to speak freely without threat of imprisonment. But in these other countries, they are the predominant. They are the predominant news organization. It's very similar to Pravda in the Soviet Union. Pravda literally meant truth in Russian, where you weren't able to question it. And npr, thankfully, has been flailing. But don't underestimate their influence. What they've been able to do on podcasting is legitimate because they poured so much money into it and there's no reason why taxpayers should subsidize it. Do you have that other clip of the congressional testimony? If not, we can move on to Doge.
- [20:33]
Andrew
Yeah, we probably do. I'm not sure what it is, but there is another element to this. I don't know if you guys saw this, but Germany just today, I have it. The news, Yeah, I mean, is that they have now that the intelligence community in Germany has now labeled AFD Alternative for Deutschland, Germany as a radical entity. So this allows them now to harass afd, to censor them, to basically surveil them and essentially criminalize their activities. Correct. And so AFD is now the most popular party in Germany. It is. It's essentially the closest equivalent that we have to maga, if you will. It's a nationalist party. But in Germany, they have all the, you know, the vestiges of World War II hanging over them. They are. They've lost their confidence in that. So they instantly say, oh, we got a Nazi, a fascist party. That's not what this is. This is like strong borders, anti, you know, open borders party. It's very MAGA in spirit and in tone. And now it's probably criminalized.
- [21:36]
Charlie Kirk
This is, by the way, why are we still subsidizing Germany if they're locking up and potentially criminalizing opposition political parties? They say that America is a threat to democracy. Europe is no longer the democratic beacon on the hill that they say they are, and they haven't been for quite some time. Let's play cut 494 you a little.
- [21:52]
Andrew
Bit of breaking news coming into us from Germany.
- [21:55]
Charlie Kirk
The Reuters news agency is reporting that.
- [21:58]
Andrew
The country's domestic intelligence agency has classified.
- [22:02]
Charlie Kirk
The alternative for Germany party as an.
- [22:05]
Andrew
Extremist entity that threatens democracy. A move that enables it to better monitor the party which came second, of course, in February's federal election.
- [22:17]
Charlie Kirk
And I want to just. This is what would have happened if Kamala Harris would have become president. Everybody, if Kamala Harris was in the White House right now, Turning Point USA would be recognized as an official extremist organization. They were already spying on groups like ours. They're already trying to infiltrate us. And it's Amazing how on July 13, not only did Donald Trump dodge a bullet, but America dodged a bullet too, preventing Kamala Harris from becoming president. United States, because we look at what's happening in Canada, these other countries are not becoming freer societies because America's course correcting, they're doubling down on becoming unfree, totalitarian countries. And it's chilling. In Germany. If you say something that's considered racist online, they will raid your home, they will take your devices, and you will file. You will face prison time. What is considered to be racist? If you question mass migration, if you say that immigrants are making Germany not as nice of a place, they could raid your home.
- [23:10]
Andrew
If you question Muslim immigrants.
- [23:11]
Charlie Kirk
No, that's right. If you say that Muslim immigration might be. Which of course it is. Everybody, we know that it's a problem in Germany. If you say that, they will come and knock. Can we get that piece of tape? Actually, I think it's really important.
- [23:21]
Andrew
60 minutes.
- [23:21]
Charlie Kirk
But every day I wake up and I just say thank you, God, that Donald Trump is president. Because I look at these other Western countries and they are becoming more and more radical. They're becoming more and more extreme. In the United Kingdom, where I'm actually going to go debate at Oxford soon, they're putting people in prison and in jail for making documentaries, for challenging the status quo. And I hope Americans, especially American conservatives, can understand that the trajectory is away from speech and away from quote, unquote, liberal democracy. And think about how insane that clip is you just watched. Well, we're going to punish the most popular political party because it's a threat to democracy. Oh, really? So the what the people want is a threat to democracy? Every time you hear the word democracy, you must replace it with oligarchy. Now, let me restate that statement. We must now lock up and penalize the top political party because it's a threat to our oligarchy. Now it starts to make sense. When they say democracy, they really mean oligarchy.
- [24:23]
Andrew
Well, and they view the election of Donald Trump as a cautionary tale because America was unsuccessful in clamping down on the speech.
- [24:31]
Charlie Kirk
We are the one that got away. Every other Western government right now has become less free. From France, from Germany, uk, uk. I mean, from Brazil. Brazil is an unfree. You're following what's happening in Brazil. They're going to. They're basically killing Bolsonaro right now in medically controlled hospital. I encourage you guys to, you know, listen to our program because we cover this stuff because the mainstream media here in America doesn't really cover what's happening in these other countries. And it is. It is an exceptional moment that we live in the United States of America. Do we have the clip here? Is it loaded up?
- [25:03]
Andrew
One second. Yeah.
- [25:05]
Charlie Kirk
Okay, so I want to just preface this. This is just one of hundreds of clips we could Play. This is 60 Minutes that went to Germany. This is the Stasi, the secret police Germany doing midnight raids on young people, taking their devices and then putting them potentially in jail because they said stuff on the Internet.
- [25:21]
Andrew
Wrong.
- [25:21]
Charlie Kirk
Think that was wrong. This is where. This is where Western democracies are going. What is it?
- [25:27]
Andrew
5:18.
- [25:28]
Charlie Kirk
Play 518. Play it.
- [25:31]
Andrew
It's 6:01 on a Tuesday morning, and.
- [25:34]
Charlie Kirk
We were with state police as they raided this apartment in Northwest Germany. Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime. The crime? Posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time across German, more than 50 similar raids played out part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany. Guys, this is Germany. This is not Ghana. This is a country we subsidized with our taxpayer dollars, by the way.
- [26:19]
Andrew
And military.
- [26:20]

Our military. And they did 56am raids against people that posted racist cartoons for breaking the law. This is what Kamala Harris wanted to bring to the United States of America.

And by the way, who knows if it's really racist?
- [26:33]
Charlie Kirk
No, by the way, I mean, just their definition of what is racist is. And by the way, being racist is not a crime. Let's just keep on repeating that, okay? You're allowed to be unseemly. You're allowed to push boundaries. You're allowed to say things that might be improper. That is what free speech is all about. But free speech is not a German value, and free speech is not a European value. And so just to reiterate that, you have to wonder, you might as well put the Berlin Wall back up at this point. He's like, the Berlin Wall fell and who actually won? Did liberty win or did communism win? Because that's not what the promise of the fall of the Berlin Wall was. But what, what we are getting at, which is very important, the fundamental point is that we in America are actually trending in the right direction. These other countries are going in the wrong direction. And we have this island now, this island of liberty surrounded by totalitarianism. Canada is just as bad. Why refi? Check it out.

Well, let's set the stage here. So Jesse Waters got exclusive invite to go sit in on a Doge meeting. Now, they don't do these meetings at normal business hours because they never stop working. This team is a bunch of geniuses. That's that all they do all Night and all day is work on fixing really rudimentary problems like, oh, do the databases talk to each other? Is there a tech issue that's, you know, that's allowing waste, fraud and abuse. This was at 10pm they did a roundtable. All these super geniuses that have built their own businesses or, or dropped out of Harvard or whatever, and he's brought them together to solve some of the most confounding problems in our.

And I just want to reiterate, you know, how thankful we should be that we have the smartest young people on the planet that want to go into our government, make it more efficient. Do you know how they've been treated by the media? It should be applauded, right? How they've been treated? Their public information's been made. Their private information was made public. They've been doxxed. So many death threats, they've been hunted and followed in the streets. The media relentlessly is going after the personal information of these young people. I mean, these are wicked and wicked operators in the media. So how about this one? Let's play cut 496. When I say they're super geniuses, I mean these, I've met these young. This, these young kids. Remarkable. Play cut 496. Just a few hours after we got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years. So you'd have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do that? The Doge team, fortunately was able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace. And I think the most troubling thing was they received $55 million a year from Congress. And any money that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account which had no congressional oversight. And that's what they would use to fund things like events at their headquarters and the private jets. Sounds illegal, doesn't it?
- [29:47]
Andrew
Private, private jets.
- [29:48]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, it sounds illegal.

Other things that that came out of this discussion is our founders established essentially four agencies of the federal government. Today we have 400. 400. So you were hearing him talk about the. Was it the Institute of Peace, which is another sort of smaller agency? And it's just the amount of bloat is tremendous.

I want to get to this one. This is 480. Elon Musk reveals department Education. We're using taxpayer dollars to rent out stadiums. Play cut 480 Department of Education. And there was no receipts required so people could Just draw down on it. And when people looked into it, this wasn't us, this was before us. They found that money was being used to rent out Caesar's palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera. And so the one change that Doge.
- [30:33]
Andrew
Made with Department of Education is we.
- [30:35]
Charlie Kirk
Had the simple requirement that if you draw down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was the only change that was made. You must upload your receipt. And upon doing so, nobody drew down any money anymore.
- [30:47]
Andrew
But as soon as we asked for.
- [30:48]
Charlie Kirk
Anything at all, that suddenly the requests.
- [30:51]
Andrew
Were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. Huh, that's interesting.
- [30:55]
Charlie Kirk
No one's ever asked them questions. I want to play this one. This is one of the super geniuses who dropped out of Harvard. Play cut 493.
- [31:01]
Andrew
I dropped out of Harvard and came.

Here to serve my country. And it's been unfortunate to see, you know, lost friendships.

Most of campus hates me now.

But I think fundamentally, I hope people realize through conversations like this that reform is genuinely needed and we're running out of time. But I do want. This is just a montage of Democrats going after, trying to make the government more efficient. Think about that. Play cut for 82.

Unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. This smash and grab by Elon Musk.
- [31:35]
Charlie Kirk
Is going to stop. This is the most corrupt bargain we've ever seen in American history. Honestly, I just want to reiterate it. We are so lucky, we are so blessed that not only Trump won, but he empowered Elon Musk. And every day, every day when you guys are worrying about the country, you have the brightest minds imaginable that are literally working 24 7. These guys do not sleep. They do not sleep. They sleep like two or three hours a night. They have these like sleep pods that Elon brought into the White House. I don't know if you guys heard this. They do 90 minutes of sleep at a time at three times a day. That's it. And these guys are all up and their only focus is to make sure that your taxpayer money is better spent. And I just can't say how thankful we are. No other country has this going on right now. And it is a phenomenal development for the well being of our republic. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us. As always, freedomarliekirk.com thanks so much for listening and God bless.
