Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. News Recap: Ilhan Omar Attack Incident

• [02:00–07:27]
  • Discussion about Rep. Ilhan Omar being sprayed with an unknown substance during a speech; skepticism online about whether the attack was staged.
  • Charlie condemns the act but also keeps the door open for evidence of potential staging, referencing past hoaxes like Jussie Smollett’s.
  • Quote—Charlie Kirk:

    “Elected leaders should be able to deliver remarks in public without fearing for their lives, without fearing for their safety. … If it comes out that it is fake, that it is staged, then I will be the first to jump on that bandwagon and condemn it.” ([03:11])

  • Ilhan Omar’s response shows resilience, referencing her experiences in war zones.
    • Ilhan Omar (Clip):

      "I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way." ([05:09])

2. Messaging Missteps: The Alex Preddy Shooting & Communications

• [07:40–09:34]
  • The team critiques recent claims that key advisers like Stephen Miller are being sidelined after the administration's messaging missteps following the Alex Preddy shooting.
  • They discuss the evolution of conservative movement responses from “automatic apology” to “defend and concede nothing,” with acknowledgment that this hardline response wasn't the right one in this particular case.
  • Emphasis on learning and adapting—“building up antibodies” to past mistakes.

3. The New England Patriots Analogy: Teamwork & Comebacks

• [10:04–15:44]
  • Extended metaphor comparing the Trump administration to the Patriots football team, emphasizing the importance of every team member, whether high-profile or working “in the trenches.”
  • Stephen Miller described as the “offensive lineman”—crucial but not flashy.
  • Lesson: When a team member makes a mistake (false start, penalty), you don’t abandon the team; instead, you regroup and press on.
  • Quote—Charlie Kirk:

    “When a player commits a false start in football, you're set back five yards—you don’t quit, you don’t forfeit.” ([11:02])

  • The show recalls the Patriots’ legendary comeback in Super Bowl 51, linking it as inspiration for conservatives facing setbacks.
    • “This remains the biggest comeback ever in Super Bowl history. … Nobody thought that they could pull this off. … Before you snipe at Stephen Miller or Greg Bevino or Kristi Noem or President Trump, … we are in this together and we are putting up wins.” ([15:15])

4. Major Update: Fraud & Reform in the SBA 8A Program

• [18:16–25:38] | Guest: Kelly Loeffler
  • Breaking news: SBA has suspended 1,091 firms from the 8A Business Development Program for failing to provide basic financial documentation—$5 billion in contracts suspected fraudulent.
  • Under Biden, the program allegedly discriminated against white small business owners and was rife with DEI-linked fraud.
  • Kelly Loeffler:

    “Essentially, they expanded [the 8A program] by 2,000 participants during four years. … What we saw going on in that program was discriminating against white small business owners. So what we did was we called for an audit.” ([18:31])
    “If you were a white business owner, you probably didn’t even qualify to come into the program. That process is unconstitutional.… we are not doing this on race.” ([20:54])

  • She details how audits are ongoing; DOJ is already prosecuting cases of fraud, and other federal agencies are coordinating audits.
  • Blake, co-host, underscores the scale: “$5 billion is the average lifetime tax payments of 10,000 people … poured into this sort of nonsense.” ([22:15])

5. California Wildfire Recovery & Federal Intervention

• [25:38–27:50]
  • Loeffler details the Trump administration’s efforts to override state/local obstacles and accelerate rebuilding in fire-ravaged California, especially the wealthy Palisades area.
  • She claims state officials have obstructed progress, and the federal administration is now fast-tracking recovery.

6. Escalating Rhetoric: Targeting Trump Officials

• [30:05–36:48]
  • Discussion on public figures (Rick Wilson, Kara Swisher) making extreme statements about prosecuting or targeting Trump officials like Stephen Miller.
    • Rick Wilson (Clip):

      “I want Stephen Miller to be the number one in the Nuremberg trials … I want Stephen Miller to be the first one who is tried and convicted and dangles.” ([31:06])

    • Kara Swisher (Clip):

      “People like Stephen Miller will go down in history as evil, have blood on his hands and should be jailed at the very end of this.” ([31:49])

  • Discussion turns to university/medical workers making online threats against ICE agents, resulting in at least one firing.
  • Co-hosts call for zero-tolerance: “If you are in the medical field and you and you talk about doing this, bam—lose your license, can never get it back, period. Ever again. And frankly you should possibly go to jail too.” ([37:28])

7. Team Mentality & Takeaway for Listeners

• Throughout, Charlie and the team urge listeners to focus on unity, perseverance, and gratitude for tangible policy wins rather than getting distracted or demoralized by setbacks or internal squabbles.
  • Quote—Charlie Kirk:

    “Let’s be a part of that team. Let’s be positive… This team is scoring… let’s not forget all we’ve accomplished.” ([15:44])

Transcript

[A]

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. 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. Use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers.

[B]

All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. It is January 28, 2026. Blake, how you doing? How we doing this morning? For those who don't personally know Blake.

[C]

That'S usually my answer to that question.

[B]

Basically, Blake will absolutely rip your heart out. In the morning when you come in, you'll be like, hey, Blake, good morning. How you doing? He's like, how you doing? You want to feel good? President Trump's talking about the Trump accounts, which is a big thing. Charlie loved those. And we've got some announcements even on the Turning point side coming soon on those. Those are a great way to make sure young people have skin in the game. You got Michael dell donating over $6 billion. Every child in America gets $250 in their Trump account. So if you have family members, make sure they're taking advantage of that, invest in it, pour into it. By the time a young person is 18, 21, they could have hundreds of thousands of dollars in that account. Yeah, huge. Huge. And having skin in the game, a stake in the economy, is a huge way to make sure the next generation doesn't become radicalized. And so I want to give a shout out to the president there and the team. It's great piece that was inside the one big beautiful bill. I want to get to a couple things here. Right off the top, we've got a jam packed show, so you're gonna wanna stay tuned for the entire thing. Lots of amazing guests. Kelly Lefler's coming in with 8A, but first up, Ilhan Omar was sprayed last Night she was attacked or at least approached. And the Internet's losing its mind. And I just wanna say a couple things. I know we have the video here. Go ahead and play that in the background if you want. So she's giving a speech in Minneapolis. She makes a comment that Kristi Noem should be. Should resign or face impeachment. This gentleman comes up with a support syringe, sprays her with an unknown substance, is tackled by security and subdued. Ilhan Omar would go on to continue and complete her remarks. Now, everybody on the Internet thinks this is fake and staged. Here's what I would say. And there's, you know, they're digging into his children. He has a left wing child. His neighbors say he's conservative. Everybody says it's fake and staged. I just want to be really clear that if this is true, which I have no reason to believe it's not, other than Jussie Smollett, we've been through this before. I understand people's hesitancy to believe it, but if it's true, this is not the way. It's not okay. People should be able to deliver remarks. Elected a leader should be able to deliver remarks in public without fearing for their lives, without fearing for their safety. So I just think we need to say that now. If it comes out that it is fake, that it is staged, then I will be the first to jump on that bandwagon and condemn it.

[C]

Really funny. If it was staged, it was like Jussie Smollett was very funny. But it's also very evil because as, as Charlie once said, like when you do kind of a fake hate crime, as it were, that that's like the actual real hate crime when you're doing something just to stoke animosity and hatred against a group. If you do something like this to make conservatives look bad, to make white men look bad as a provocation, that's an incredibly evil thing. And it frankly should be punished far more severely.

[B]

I totally agree with that. Jussie Smollett should have been.

[C]

The New York Post, for example, is not a liberal publication. They've investigated this and they at least found a neighbor who said, this guy didn't talk a lot, but he did seem to share. He seemed to be a President Trump supporter, shared anti Omar stuff, didn't like her, and they got it. Other stuff, he apparently had medical issues, so that could have been affecting his mental state.

[B]

Yeah, so, yeah. And so let's play the clip right after this happened. She's asked if she's okay 369.

[D]

Representative Omar, are you okay?

[E]

You know, I'm going to go figure if I am, but I feel okay. I feel that it is important for people, whether they are in elected office or not, to allow these people to intimidate us, to make us not fight for our constituents and for the country we love. And as I said, you know, I've survived war, and I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.

[F]

Thank you.

[B]

And I just would say, again, I condemn it in the strongest possible terms if this is proven to be authentic, which, again, I have no reason to believe it's not, other than we've been through this with Jussie Smollett. But, my goodness. And I have my issues with Ilhan Omar. She is the least sympathetic political figure, probably at least in the top five in the United States. And I couldn't help but remember what she said about Charlie. So I'm going to play that clip. I just feel like we should. 390.

[E]

What I find jarring is that there are so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they're willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress honoring his life and legacy. It is one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustpin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spews every single day.

[C]

It is reprehensible. She's lived here since 1995.

[B]

Dustpin of history. Dustpin, yeah. And so, like, you know, don't attack people. Don't rush them on stage. In general, you make everybody look bad when you do that. But my basic feeling on this is she's okay. I don't know what the substance was. They haven't released it. So, you know, that's a question. Why haven't they released it? They sent a forensic analyst to forensic scientists to analyze the substance, and we don't know. So that's. That's where I'm at. All right, don't do that.

[D]

Please do that.

[C]

Don't do that. But don't fall for any dumb psyops about this stuff. Like, there are loons in politics. They do things you don't, you're not gonna overact to a guy who throws something on a politician at an event.

[B]

Fair enough. Yeah. So in other news, I want to pivot here really quick. So the Daily Beast has got a piece up here. Stephen Miller is being sidelined after he was reportedly shut out of a closed door White House meeting following the killing of Alex Preddy. I have checked in on this. This is completely and utterly untrue. Okay, so the speculation is basically that Christy Noemi, Stephen Miller, Greg Pavino, that they are all being sidelined because of a messaging blunder following the shooting death of Alex Preddy, where they said that he was going to do maximal damage, that he was going to massacre people. We don't have reason to believe that that's necessarily true, nor do I think the video substantiates that interpretation of events. We don't know that it's untrue, but I do believe that the messaging was a, was a, was unhelpful in the immediate aftermath. A more cautious approach, a more, hey, we're going to investigate the shooting. And the details would have probably been more appropriate in that moment. You would agree with that.

[C]

It's just their impulse. It shows how we've improved on a lot of our messaging because there was so often this bizarre, automatic conservative impulse to disavow and freak out and have a panic attack. And now, much more often, the first impulse is defend and concede nothing. That's often a lesson people would take from President Trump's success because he's very much a kind of never, never really apologize guy. Never, never give an inch. But on this one, it does seem to have not been the right approach. But.

[B]

Okay, yeah, exactly. That's my take. We've. I say it again, I'll say it again. We're building up antibodies to some of these mistakes that have been made in the past. Now, all right, when you don't have all the facts, just take up a little bit more of a neutral tone. That's the correction. Okay, let's be honest here.

[C]

So they did wrong messaging on a controversial story over the weekend. We have people in Washington who screwed up and invaded Iraq, who overthrew a government in Libya, who've done regime change wars that have killed tens of thousands of people and have been a complete mistake and have faced zero consequences for it. You think that the people who are at the FBI have never screwed anything up and then just continue to rise up? People at the CIA have never screwed up and just had their careers completely untouched? Washington is full of people who face zero accountability for the biggest screw ups ever.

[B]

All right, so I want to go through, we're going to go through a football analogy. This is an ode to Charlie, but it's also a good reminder for so many of you out there, because I'm looking along, I'm looking around on social media and there's black pilling happening all over the place. But Minneapolis, the doj, not enough indictments. They're mad about Bovino, they're mad about Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, whatever. And I just want to remind everybody that we are part of a team. It's a larger team, right? Stephen Miller is a critical component of that team. When someone messes up, when somebody falls short, you're part of a team. You don't abandon your team. When somebody gets a errant flag in a football game that drives you back 15 yards, roughing the passer penalty, whatever, maybe your quarterback throws a interception now, they may get benched, they may get sidelined for a short period of time, and then they earn their way back. When a player commits a false start in football, you're set back five yards, you don't quit, you don't quit the drive, you don't forfeit.

[C]

I like the false start analogy in particular because I think let's really dig into this football analogy. So most of you are probably familiar with it. You know, there's a lot of positions, let's imagine that the Trump administration football team, it's pretty obvious who the quarterback is. And then you have positions on a football team that are more high profile, that are a little more flashy. You have wide receivers, you have running backs, they, you know, make these big plays, they give a lot of interviews, they get a lot of magazine covers. But football experts will tell you they're often like the most important players on a team. After the quarterback, are the lines, just the offensive linemen?

[B]

Totally.

[C]

And anyone who's a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals or some other perennial teams will tell you your quarterback falls apart if your line is bad. And linemen, they aren't famous. They don't get a lot of attention. They're much more just in the trenches every day. And as you know, sometimes they screw up, they get false starts, they get chop block penalties, stuff like that. But you need them absolutely out there every day grinding it out. And Stephen Miller, especially within the Trump administration, is one of those grind it out guys. He's been around with the campaign from the start, basically, I think. Did he, was he on them from 2015 onwards.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And so he's been there that whole time. He's never been a big TV guy. He's on there occasionally, but that's never been his main flashy attention getting. He's never been this attention getter. He's always just been this guy who's in the administration grinding it out to get the results of what the President ran on. He is a result scatter.

[B]

To your point though, the Trump administration is one giant team. They're striving for a common goal, just like a football team. They're all doing their job. They're blocking, they're tackling, they're running the ball. We got a quarterback in President Trump's. Sometimes we might not get a first down, sometimes we might have to punt. But this administration has been scoring all year long. He's been scoring touchdowns. And I want to, I want to remind you of the most famous of all comebacks, because it's important. We got to rally the truth. The most famous example of a sports athlete coming back from behind is Super Bowl 51 and Tom Brady. The New England Patriots trailed the Atlanta Falcons 28 to 3 late in the third quarter and then 28 to 9 entering the fourth quarter. Brady had a rough start overall in the first half and into the third. He threw an interception, returned for a touchdown. The offense stalled repeatedly and the Patriots looked completely outmatched. Fans and analysts, they thought the game was over. Deficit being the largest in super bowl history at that point. It was the largest super bowl.

[C]

Dude, you're going to lose this to Georgia the way you're really laying it up here.

[B]

Brady engineered an epic comeback. He led the Patriots on multiple scoring drives in the fourth quarter, including a game tying drive capped by a miraculous Julian Edelman catch. The game went into overtime and the Patriots ended up winning Super Bowl 51, 34 to 28. Brady, who had the most terrible first half you can imagine, ended up with 466 passing yards and two touchdowns and he was named Super Bowl MVP.

[C]

You know, one of the other great parts about this was this happened right after the 2016 election and the left, for whatever reason, decided to go in on this as some sort of proxy for politics because the Patriots owner was pro Trump. Bill Belichick was pro Trump.

[B]

He actually wrote, Tom Brady was proud.

[C]

He wrote a letter. Bill Belichick, this is a true story. He wrote a letter endorsing Trump. And then they asked, oh, this is great. Can we like release this publicly? And he goes, oh, you want it to go public? Here, let me Rewrite the letter to be more positive. Speaking of which, he was. They kept him out of the hall of Fame on the first ballot yesterday.

[B]

So that was egregious. Now they're wondering if Tom Brady's gonna be kept out in the first battle, which would be obscene.

[C]

Obscene. Disgusting, anyway. But yeah, so they made this. All the left chose to do this. And then they were like, well, Atlanta is the city that was very anti Trump. And so this is the chance to get a psychological win. And then the Patriots went and did this.

[B]

Well, and here's the thing, the Patriots, this remains the biggest comeback ever in super bowl history. And you can see Tom Brady there, emotional, because nobody thought that they could pull this off. And I want everybody out there to remember that you are part of a team. So before you snipe at Stephen Miller or Greg Bevino or Kristi Noem or President Trump, listen, some of them might get sidelined, some of them might get replaced. We might have to go to the free agency and pick up some new, tear.

[C]

Their political acl.

[B]

Yes, their political acl. Some might have false starts, some might get flags thrown on them. But we are in this together and we are putting up wins. And, and in my lifetime, I have never seen a team pulling in the same direction, this capable, this competent, this energetic. Don't forget all the things that we've accomplished. We've got Pete Hegseth as our Secretary of War. We've got Lee Zeldin at the epa, we've got Scott Besant at Treasury, We've got a lot of all star players, Marco Rubio at state, J.D. vance as the Vice President. We are crushing it in so many ways. And yes, there have been false starts. Yes, some of the communications on Predi were not helpful, let's be honest. But we are deporting people. We have the lowest level of immigration we've had in decades. And we're getting the criminals out. Crime is at an all time low. There's a lot to be grateful for. The team is scoring. Let's be a part of that team. Let's be positive. Candles were lit on Bondi beach by families, by children, by people of faith to celebrate a festival of light. A festival from Bible times, one that Jesus himself celebrated. People gathered with hope, seeking unity and comfort in tradition. But instead of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing itself at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing. Times like this remind us that in even with the ceasefire in Israel, Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith. And times like this remind us why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists to stand in the gap, providing safety and security to God's people. The fellowship brings together Christians and Jews to be a light to suffering Jews in Israel, the former Soviet Union, or wherever the needs are greatest. Together we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need hope the most. Your gift today will help provide the security that God's people so desperately need.

And I'm so excited. Welcome back. You have been been making waves because something we talked about when you joined us here in Studio is this 8A program. You have updates. It's a huge, huge story. Please tell us about it.

[F]

Yeah, you got it. Look, first of all, it's such an honor to join y' all in person. I'm excited to say that we're breaking this news here on your show today. The eight Government Program for Federal Contracting is a government wide, socially and economically disadvantaged federal program that expanded massively under the Biden administration to support their favored minority groups. Essentially, they expanded it by 2,000 participants during four years. What we saw going on in that program was discriminating against white small business owners. So what we did was we called for an audit. Last year we started conducting that audit and we saw lots of waste, fraud and abuse. And so by the end of the year, we had demanded three months of financial documents. What came back out of the 4300 firms that the Biden administration had expanded to was 1091 firms did not submit records. Those firms were qualified and received $5 billion under the Biden administration in contracts. I mean, this is Somalia level fraud. And so we're investigating that further and we still have our 15 year look back audit going on. Meanwhile, we've made very clear we are not going to discriminate based on race in this program. And so we ended that, though, on day one last year.

[B]

Wow. So just to reiterate, the SBA has announced the suspension of 1,091 firms from the 8A Business Development Program that Joe Biden, the Biden administration had ramped up, which was basically discrimination against white firms. This was special groups were getting special consideration and there was a lot of fraud in this. And so you asked them in December to send documentation to prove the most basic audit possible, and they failed. So you ordered all 4,300 firms to submit basic documentation to prove their legitimacy as part of Trump's SBA's longstanding effort to root out small business and contracting abuse by pass through and shell companies. Can you hone in on that particular piece, the pass through and shell company aspect of this? This is a big, big story.

[F]

Yeah. So 50 years ago, this program came into being in law under the Carter administration. And since then, there has never been an audit of what is a program that is designed to let economically and socially disadvantages compete on a level playing field for federal contracts. I grew up in a farm, a farm community, a small town. There are folks that are outside the D.C. beltway, the. The beltway bandits who are using a DEI situation to hide behind them. Millionaires who are then saying that they're small businesses and they're taking multimillion dollar contracts away from deserving small businesses. And particularly under the Biden administration, if you were a white business owner, you probably didn't even qualify to come into the program. That process is unconstitutional. In fact, the tracking metrics for who came into 8A did not even include a classification for white. That's why when I came in on day one, we restored the 5% statutory requirement from 15 that Biden had arbitrarily expanded it to. That's why the program grew to 40 billion last year under Biden. So we're resetting the table to say we are not doing this on race. You can't get in because of race, and you're not going to be barred from it because. Because of race.

[B]

Yeah. This is such a prime example of how much bloat and fraud and just garbage gets stuffed in when you have a six, six and a half trillion dollar federal budget and you just found a $40 billion line item, or the 5 billion.

[C]

I went and I looked it up. How many people? $5 billion. That is the average lifetime tax payments of 10,000 people. So 10,000 people. You just strike that. You know, 5 billion almost sounds like a tiny amount of money because of how big. Everything's gone. Yet thousands of people were having their entire life's work poured into this sort of nonsense.

[B]

One year of fraud.

[F]

Yeah, you're exactly right. And that's how I think about it, Blake, because I'm on Main street every week across this. I've already been in 10 states this year. When I meet face to face with a small business owner, I see that the risk they're taking to build their business. The sacrifice they're making their families to create jobs, to invest in Main Streets, and to know that their hard earned tax dollars are being shuffled off to DEI programs is absolutely infuriating. So that's why we came in though. The Trump administration from day one has been cracking down on this program, reorganizing around audits that we're doing and what we're finding and making sure that Main Street America has access to programs not supporting dei, but, but supporting deserving small business owners.

[C]

So a natural follow up question to that. You found a thousand firms that are not filing the right paperwork. They seem to have been improperly certified. Do we have evidence of further criminal behavior and is their progress towards that going to DOJ or whoever would be needed to investigate, potentially prosecute that?

[F]

Excellent question. So there's two parts of the audit underway. We are first doing a thing 15 year look back again. The program in its 50 year history has never been audited. We are auditing everything in the program from federal contracting employees to the contracts itself. DOJ is already prosecuting hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud and bribery in the program. So we're looking at it at that level. But then the 4300 firms that we requested financial statements from, we're going through those to make sure that they're not going to shell and pass through companies where, where you have a DEI front standing in front of a multimillion dollar business that's taking away a contract from a deserving small business. So, yeah, so there could be further criminal investigations. Right now. These individuals, these firms are not eligible to participate in small business contracting. And it's important because the SBA sets the standard across the federal government. The Department of War, Department of Treasury, GSA has joined us in our audit because this goes on across the federal government. And we know that we need to set a standard that bars any discrimination, particularly of white owned firms, because it was going on under the Biden administration.

So Administrator Lefler, in the previous segment, we used a sports analogy. We said we're all part of a team. And listen, sometimes your team members get called for a foul, sometimes they, you know, false start, whatever. You get 15 yard penalty, 5 yard penalty. But we're all, we're marching down the field in the same direction. We're doing it together. And I just think this is great because sometimes we get distracted by, oh, we're upset about something that happened in Minneapolis, or sometimes we don't think there's enough prosecutions. But this is a prime Example of somebody, you at the SBA that's putting up billion dollar wins on behalf of the American people and getting rid of some of this entrenched stuff that's just been there for years or that was exacerbated under the Biden administration and that we're setting right in front of your eyes. This is amazing, amazing progress that will not get front page headlines necessarily, but it's a huge win for the American people. You're also gonna make some other news here, I believe this morning, President Trump was talking about Trump accounts. He ends up referring to Lee Zeldin at the epa, and he basically says everything that's been happening in California is terrible. These homes were burned down in the Palisades, some of the richest homes, most beautiful homes in the country. And so President Trump says EPA chief Lee Zeldin will be in charge of federal permitting to override local California wildfires. The rebuild there. And you guys have a role to play here at the sba. Tell us about it.

[F]

Yeah, this is critically important. Look, Gavin Newsom created a disaster in California, a twin disaster. Not just the disaster of the fires where the president came to the rescue and getting water to the fires his first week in office, but the lies that this administration under Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have perpetuated about rebuilding in California. Look, there's no rebuilding going on. They may have issued thousands of permits, but one house might need a dozen, two dozen permits. So there's been about a dozen houses built. What the SBA has done is put out $3.2 billion, over 50% of the entire disaster recovery effort in the entire country, and very little, 25% has been pulled down. So we're going to be partnering with Administrator Zeldin. Lee and I will be back out in California making sure residents know that we are fast tracking now the ability to rebuild finally, because, look, 75% of those folks are in temporary housing. 50% have severe economic harm caused to them as a result of this. And the California state and local officials have done nothing but obstruct the ability to rebuild. And President Trump is creating that on ramp to get those houses back up, get families back in their homes. Small businesses stood back up because local officials aren't fighting for their own people.

[B]

Well, and by the way, California officials were trying to zone some of that burn area for, you know, I think it was like low income housing. And if you know anything about the Palisades, this is one of the best, most beautiful, historically neighborhoods in all of Southern California. And so you're just going to go plop some low income housing in the middle of that? No, thank you. So Trump is going to override that as well. And I can just tell you this is huge. As somebody who's lived in Southern California and has dealt with the permitting process in Southern California, it's abysmal. It is absolutely frightening. And the fact that these people didn't just get fast tracked right away from the state of California is travesty. So thank you, Administrator Lefler, for stepping up here and helping them. They don't vote for Trump down there. They're probably still gonna vote Democrats. But he's the president of all Americans and I think it's a wonderful thing what you guys are doing. So God bless you. Thank you for the updates and for making some news right here on the Charlie Kirk show. God bless you.

[F]

Thanks, Andrew. Thanks, Blake.

We have to hit this story because we mentioned Stephen Miller before and these, these unhinged clips. So Rick Wilson is a complete lunatic. Lincoln project, all of this stuff, former Republican, whatever he's calling for the execution of Stephen Miller. They're trying to get Stephen Miller killed. That's what they're trying to do. And now, by the way, they're going to justify it emotionally because of Renee Goode and because of Preddy in Minneapolis. Even though these people should have never been anywhere near these law enforcement operations. That doesn't matter to them. And that's by the way. That's why we. It's hard to get outraged when they die. I think it's a tragedy. I don't want anybody to die. But you should not be obstructing and harassing law enforcement officials. So when bad things happen. Listen, what are we to do?

[D]

365 I almost tweeted this today and I know I'll get canceled for saying this. I know I'm going to get in trouble. I want Stephen Miller to be the number one in the Nuremberg trials. When this is done. When this is done, I want Stephen Miller to be the first one who is tried and convicted and dangles.

[B]

He wants Stephen Miller to dangle. He wants him to be hungry. But it doesn't stop there. That's not the only unhinged lunatic that's going on social media. Oh and by the way they're bragging. I know I'm gonna get canceled. No. You know nothing's gonna happen because they.

[C]

Didn'T even get cancelled running the Lincoln Project which was basically like a giant criminal grift.

[B]

And by the way there's a bunch of them that had.

[C]

Oh and weird sexual deviance. Every weirdo in like the Never Trump movement joined the Lincoln Project.

[B]

Journalist Kara Swisher. Call her a journalist. I don't. I'm not going to call her journalist. That's how it's labeled on the clip. Sheep. She's not a journalist. She's an activist. She says the same thing.

[G]

366 and I would last like to call out Stephen Miller who is in the center of this. We always focus on Trump as we often focus on the top people. But Stephen Miller, like a man named Ben Datson, he was the one who created the internment cancer Japanese Heinrich Himmler in the Nazi regime. This is what he is. And of course Trump gets most of the blame being at the top. But people like Stephen Miller will go down in history as evil had blood on his hands and should be jailed at the very end of this. And you're absolutely right.

[B]

Do you see what they're doing? So set it all up very gradually. They want to prosecute Stephen Miller after President Trump is out of office. They do. This is one of the reasons why it's so critically important that we win the midterms. Cuz they're gonna bog down everything with these investigations. And by the way there was an update yesterday out of Virginia that apparently the old maps are gonna hold for the 2026.

[C]

That's good.

[B]

It's a first court ruling. I think it goes up to the Supreme Court now. But they are basically. It was. The process through which they went was not timed right. Was not according to.

[C]

From what I've seen really is legally indefensible to rule any other way. Because there's like. For what they were doing you need three months of notice. And they had four days of notice.

[B]

Correct.

[C]

And that's just. But who knows? It's a lived state. You can live in constitutions.

[B]

Nevertheless they are going to try and imprison. They might try and imprison us. They might come after Turning Point again. They spied on us.

[C]

They'd have a lot of time to get some reading done.

[B]

Charlie was obviously dragged before the J6 committee. The amount of legal bills alone is insane. Governor Gavin Newsom got in on the act. Stephen Miller is directly responsible, he said in a tweet, for the deaths, violence and chaos from Trump administration's lawless, violent rampage across America. He must be fired and held accountable. With this code Red. We've got the image here. Code Red in the United States of America with Stephen Miller's face in this blood red.

[C]

You know, it's easy to hit the big names. But the scariest one for me that we've seen I think three or four cases of this by now is the rank and file people who clearly fantasize or maybe not maybe actually do actual. They want to do harm to other people possibly in secret. So we've had this staffer at Virginia Commonwealth University.

[B]

367 right.

[H]

Let's play that sabotage tactic or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers grab some syringes with needles on the end, have them full of saline or succinylcholine. You know, whatever, whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.

[B]

She didn't stop there by the way. So she encourages women to go on dates with agents and drug their food.

[H]

368 the single ladies where these ice guys are going have a chance to do something. You know, not without risk but could help the cause for sure. Get on Tinder. Get on Hinge. Find these guys.

[F]

They're around.

[H]

They're an ICE agent. Bring some Ex Lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. Easily deniable. You know, you could get sick too. I'm just saying.

[B]

So this is a clearly unhinged, unwell, mentally ill person who was a nurse. But this story has a happy ending. I am exceedingly joyful to say throw up. 373 VCU and anti ice nurse fired after referencing paralytic drug in video instructing sabotage of ICE agents and the university put out a statement. We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system. The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity and values of our health system. And so she's been fired.

[C]

So it's very ominous because you know there are dumb people who will do this for attention but there are people who are out there who will be smart enough to not make a TikTok video about it, to not post it on Instagram, to not brag about these things publicly but may still feel the same way. And you really have to come down hard on this because this is a lot. It's sort of like the same reason you should punish political assassination so harshly. This is not merely an attack on an individual. It is an attack on the ability of society to function. If you because you hold a political view or because you hold a job with the government you basically can't trust the medical system because medical employees may attempt to murder you.

[B]

We have other examples of this throw up before we said before this is. And libs of TikTok want to shout out to Hal over there. She's been doing a phenomenal job. Haya Did I say what did I say? Michael Moncure I think the one who put Alex in harm's way were ice. All those agents better pray they never end up in a hospital. The nurses won't be kind. And by the way this is what we saw with Charlie. It was university professors and public school teachers and nurses. Yes. And like doctors they were the ones that were celebrating the most. I do not know what drives these people into these professions but it seems to be a self selecting thing and you get a lot of radicals that end up in these professions and you.

[C]

Just actually have to have a zero tolerance policy for this. If you are in the medical field and you and you talk about doing this bam. Lose your license, can never get it back period. Ever again. And frankly you should possibly go to jail too. Yeah, just zero tolerance. You can't allow this sort of thing to happen.

[B]

Now I don't believe this individual has been fired yet. We do not know but his name appears to be Michael Moncure. Carolina's Rehabilitation Atrium Health we hope he loses his job immediately.
