J.D. Vance (9:32)

Now, we're at the point, of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up canceled the results of a presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors. Now, as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective. You can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do. You can condemn it on the world stage, even. But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to begin with.

Charlie Kirk (10:22)

Maybe it wasn't a democracy. Maybe it was an oligarchy posing as a democracy. This is such a breath of fresh air going into the museum that calls itself Europe, that has been plagued with limitless amounts of Arabs, Africans coming in and polluting Europe. JD Vance says no more. The technocratic class is not happy. Want to know why your New Year's weight loss resolutions keep failing? Here's the shocking truth. It might be your sleep.

And look, when I say that the mass migration is impacting Europe, understand what I'm saying? When I say the pollution of the culture bringing jihad and non democratic principles and they're not assimilating their ideology is the core problem. And if anyone has a problem with that, prove me wrong. Where the number one name of new babies being born in London or at least in surrounding areas is Mohammed. You guys could fact check me on this. And oh is in Glasgow. Thank you. There weren't any rape gangs in Europe 50 years ago and now they're. I mean in England 50 years ago and now they're all over the place. And so Europe has become a husk of its former self. The. You could use any one of these words. You look at the culture of Europe which was Christian in nature, Judeo, Christian in nature, believed in a free society, was a little more socialistic than for our liking. How's that been going? Well when you import a new culture, when you import foreigners into your nation, don't be surprised when it starts to look like the country you're importing them from. And my friend who is running for congress, who I endorsed, who is a Muslim, Dr. Zudi Jasser, great man, who's also my doctor, he totally agrees. He says this is an unsustainable importation of jihad. Not to mention if you import the third world, you're gonna get the third world. And so yeah, that is a cultural pollution 100%. J.D. vance is unafraid to address this head on, unafraid to go into it. And by the way, then you have to support them financially. So then the nanny state supports the importation of the third world with no assimilation. It's Ilhan Omar on steroids. The number one name of new kids in Glasgow is Muhammad. Now some of you guys think that's perfectly fine. I think there's something fundamentally wrong with it. JD Vance talks about the death of free speech, how free speech is not a value in European countries. In addition, this is JD Vance going after immigration. He goes to the core on the immigration problem.

J.D. Vance (14:29)

225 and of all the pressing challenges that the nations represented here face, I believe there is nothing More urgent than mass migration. Today, almost one in five people living in this country moved here from abroad. That is of course an all time high. It's a similar number by the way, in the United States, also an all time high. The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non EU countries doubled between 2021 and 2022 alone. And of course it's gotten much higher since.

Charlie Kirk (15:01)

And it's not stopping. It is a non stop flow of mass migration. They are addicted to it. That is part of the state run religion of neoliberalism. JD Vance continued. Let's play cut 229.

J.D. Vance (15:16)

And unfortunately when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the Cold War's winners. I look to Brussels where EU Commission commissars warn citizens that they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged to be quote, hateful content. Or to this very country where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part of quote, combating misogyny on the Internet. A day of action. I look to Sweden where two weeks ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Koran burnings.

Charlie Kirk (16:02)

Oh, he's going after every single one of them to their face. J.D. vance, he's calling them out. You don't believe in it. And Zaszemans is very mad Boris Pistoris, not a very German name. Ekben Hein, Very, very angry at jd. This is too important because das Germans are very mad, very upset. You know, maybe you guys start paying for your own defense. You guys are a welfare queen receiving money from the American people. You guys are become a welfare project. Germany is really the only robust economy in Europe and it's time for you guys to step up. No more are we gonna subsidize the demise of the home of our forefathers. So this is das very mad Boris Pistoris going through the entire program here. Go cut 230.

Boris Pistorius (16:58)

This is why I cannot just ignore what we heard before. I cannot not comment on the speech we heard by the US Vice President. We fight for your right to be against us. That is the motto, one of the mottos of the Bundeswehr and it stands for our democracy, this democracy that was just called into question by the US Vice President. And not just the German democracy, but Europe as a whole. He spoke of the annulment of democracy. And if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition of Europe with the condition that prevails in some authoritarian regimes. Ladies and gentlemen. This is not acceptable.

Charlie Kirk (17:47)

Oh, it's not acceptable? What are you gonna do about it, Germany? What are you gonna do about it? You guys have become a fake mutilated country, A suicidal partner in the death of Europe. You have been the leading architect of the mass migration of Europe. You are a shadow of really what Europe could be. And it's too bad. Look, of course Germany did unspeakably evil things in the 1940s and 50s. Is the response to then become this fake, Nonstop apologizing. Yeah, 1940s, 1930s and 40s, I should say. This nonstop apologizing, weak, pathetic version of your former self. This is not acceptable. Yeah, shut up. Play cut 231.

Boris Pistorius (18:39)

I would like to explicitly contradict and oppose the impression that Vice President Bance suggested here that our democracies oppress and silence minorities. We not only know against whom we defend our countries, but also what we defend it for. It's for democracy, for freedom of opinion, for the rule of law and the dignity of each and every one, ladies and gentlemen.

Charlie Kirk (19:07)

No, no. What he's saying is no. It's for oligarchy. It's for the same 10 families to keep on running Europe. It's for five families in France to determine who's going to be president. Whoever owns the media companies. Arnault from Louis Vuitton, the same six, you know, Sarkozy. The same six people in Germany. This is not democracy. It's not a will of the people, it's a rule of the few. And then if you dare have a contrarian, heterodox opinion, let me ask this question. If I go to the streets of Berlin and I say that trans surgeries hurt kids, or if I say that there are only two sexes, or if I say that life begins at conception, if I say that immigrants are hurting Germany currently, will I be arrested? How will I be treated? If I say that they are literally outlawing a political party in Germany, they have a firewall to block the AfD in Germany. They are trying to block the AfD. The anti immigrant and far right Alternative for Germany party has established itself as a significant political force and they have laws outlawing political parties. And we have to be lectured by this buffoon Boris Pistoris. If you say foreigners out in Germany, you can get fired. And they're saying, oh well, this is our democracy. What they mean is their sanitized oligarchy that is doing managed decline of a once great continent. And that's fine. If Europe wants to go Commit slow motion suicide and slit their own throat at the sword of Arabian jihadists that are coming in mass migration, millions and millions of people. That's their own directive. We won't subsidize it. We're not gonna subsidize the slow motion slitting of the throat of Europe because you got a bunch of Mohammedans coming in from the Middle east with US Taxpayer dollars. That dog doesn't hunt. That's not gonna happen. And then we're gonna get lectured by Boris Pistoris. This buffoon telling us like this is not acceptable. No, no, we call the shots. By what army are you gonna invade us? Mr. Boris, you exist at the pleasure of the United States of America. And by the way, we subsidize the censorship via the US Taxpayer dollar. Unacceptable. Your oligarchy is unacceptable. How about you allow AFD to to be a political party in Germany. This is one of the most significant geopolitical promising developments of the modern era.

If not, that's fine. On just kind of the challenging of us subsidizing the welfare nanny state of Europe.

Ed Doud (22:45)

Oh, I'm with you 100%. This has been going on for far too long. This has been a boondoggle for these countries to not have to invest in their own defense. And it's time that that ends. And you're right, Germany is the only real economy in Europe and they have societal issues with the immigration and political issues. And Germany is a mess economically. Their stock market doesn't reflect that. But they've been in a recession for about a year. And the it's just, it's similar to the US the middle class there is struggling and that's why the AFD is taking off. That's why populism is taking off across the globe is because governments since the great financial crisis have gotten bigger and bigger, more bureaucratic and you know, the beast of government is, you know, is treading upon the private sector and swallowing it whole.

Charlie Kirk (23:41)

So Ed, I want to now talk about Doge with you. I'm trying to find a cult corollary and we really don't have one in the last couple decades of such a significant, unexpected development to try and seize back control back to the founders intent. I'm even quite taken back by how successful the rapidity and the urgency that the Doge team is operating. You are a very accomplished business mind. What is your take so far on Doge?

Ed Doud (24:14)

Well, my initial thoughts was I like the idea. I was mildly optimistic, but I thought originally that it was going to face headwinds from Congress and it wasn't a known established government program. But the brilliance here is they took over Obama's 2014 US Digital Services Department and basically plug and play and it's an IT oversight bureaucracy, so they gain immediate access and there's nothing that the deep state can do. And it's already fully funded. And this is brilliant. And I'm just shocked at how quickly they're getting in there, what they're finding and what they're dropping on X. This is amazing. This is a game changer. And it's also told us what we've all thought, that a lot of the world we live in is completely fake and orchestrated through our taxpayer dollars to fool us. And I think one of the biggest scandals that's yet to come is when Doge figures out how much has been spent over the last four years on illegal immigrants. And I think the numbers are going to be shocking, absolutely shocking. And it's going to be one of the greatest scandals ever.

Charlie Kirk (25:28)

I want to reiterate this. And so what Obama did during Obamacare is he created the United States Digital service in 2014. It was meant as a bureaucratic patch job to fix the Obamacare website meltdown. Remember the Kathleen Sebelius running HHS. And so fast forward to 2025 Trump rebrands it to the United States. Doge service keeps the acronym, keeps the funding, but gives it a whole new mission to find the receipts. It's legally untouchable because it was already fully funded and operational. Trump invokes 5 USC 3161, which allows him to create temporary hiring authorities. The DOGE team gets embedded inside every federal agency. Each team consists of a lawyer, HR Rep, a zoomer, nerd, and an investigator. They report to doge, not the agency they're embedded in. But there's more. He also invoked 44 USC Chapter 35, which governs federal IT and cybersecurity oversight, since USDS was originally an IT oversight body. So now Doge has full access to all the federal data systems. Ed, somebody thought this through. This is from Kanoka, the Great on X. This is very deep.

Ed Doud (26:40)

Yeah. The point, the big point here is I'm very impressed with the foresight and the planning before they even hit the ground on January 20th. This is a totally different Trump administration. They went in a little naive last time. I don't think they understood what, you know, how the beast operated. And this is basically a blitzkrieg around the deep state. This is, you know, they, they, you know, the Maginot Line was built after World War I in France, and the guns only pointed one way. The Germans went around the guns super fast. And this is what the Trump administration has done. They've blitzkrieg the deep state. They're in there and they're finding things that even I'm shocked. I mean, I'm a cynic, and even I'm pleasantly surprised by how. Well, I'm not pleasantly even shocked by how deep this rot runs. It's even bigger than I thought.

Charlie Kirk (27:32)

So I think people underestimate Elon Musk. I've had a chance to get to know him over the last couple of months, have a chance to communicate with him. I'm so impressed. He's a phenomenal person, incredibly talented, obviously, all the stuff that people know. But what I can say is that getting to know him and then also kind of thinking back to the Walter Isaacson biography by Elon, I don't know if you had a chance to read it or not. Ed, there is one component in this book that Walter Isaacson focuses on, which is that when Elon Musk really commits to something, it's all in. He famously will sleep on the floor of the Tesla Gigafactory until they hit the amount of car threshold. He will live in Boca chica until the SpaceX rockets are completed he does lots of different projects, but he only does one thing really at a time. Reporting is showing that Elon Musk is living in the White House in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, on the floor, getting a couple hours of sleep a day to then get right up and go straight back to work, literally sleeping on the floor. Edition. Have we ever seen this kind of a life force against cutting government waste in American history or at least in our lifetimes?

Ed Doud (28:46)

No, we haven't. And to your point about the biography, and I've watched Elon for years, he does many things, but he doesn't multitask. He has great people that he hands off things to, but when something comes to his attention that he needs to focus on, he's all in. He's maniacally focused on that one thing and I saw it reported that he's going to be embedded basically sleeping on the floor for the next four months at least. And he's committed to this. This is something we haven't seen in the history of the US and you know, I applaud it. As long as there's transparency in doge, as long as they only have read access to the databases so that people don't think they're stealing the data, which they're not. I think this is going to be a phenomenal turning point in history. And the biggest challenge for us that know what's going on is to get this message out to the rest of America. And we're fighting the mainstream media that's reporting this as stealing of data. And don't look over here at the fraud, but look at Elon. He's evil. Yada, yada, yada. So this is another battle for the marginal mind. But it seems to me that a lot of people are waking up fast. And for those of us that have already suspected the level of corruption, it's even shocking to us. So this is a phenomenal time in American history, in my opinion.

Charlie Kirk (30:02)

I have two points I want to get with through here. First of which, what do you think this will mean for markets and for investors that are a little jittery about the explosion of fiscal spending over the last decade? Does this restore some psychological confidence to investors in markets believing that the government is somewhat serious about restraining government overspending?

Ed Doud (30:26)

So this is the conundrum. Long term it's fabulous. Short term, there's going to be a little valley in the economy because the last two years the economy was floated by crisis level deficit spending. The government, we call it fiscal dominance. Government jobs were added at record pace. Not really productive jobs. Illegal immigration is the elephant in the room. I just want to throw this number out there. Between the NGOs, the facilitation, the money's directed to the illegals directly and the accommodation they got, you could, you could easily see $100,000 to the Daisy chain of getting someone over the border in here costing. And there's 10 million illegals that came through 10 million border crossings. That's $1 trillion that was spent by the treasury and borrowed using the deficit spending. So this economy is going to. And the middle class has already been in recession, so that's that. They already feel it. We're going to have a valley, then a recovery. So I suspect long term this is great. But as we restructure the economy and we get rid of this fake economy, we'll take a hit, but it'll be fine and we'll come out the other side. That's our analysis. We put out a US economy report, 2025, I think you're right. Looking for dangers of. Dangers of a deep worldwide recession. The Trump administration needs to frame this correctly. They should say, hey, recession is proof we're restructuring the economy for the middle class, that they need to frame this.

Charlie Kirk (32:00)

I agree. And my bullish take. If I were to be on the more bullish side of things, we might be underestimating the psychological stimulus of what a new regime means for investors. We don't quite know where that's going to be, where that's going to land. It could end up being an extra point or two of growth. Is that correct? Potentially, Ed.

Ed Doud (32:18)

So I think we take the hit. But the animal spirits will definitely. As people see changes, the animal spirits will get us out of the valley quicker than if we had the old regime, the Kamala Harris regime.

Charlie Kirk (32:31)

Your friend who wrote the forward to your book, Causes unknown, which is one cause unknown, which is phenomenal. All about how the vaccine has hurt so many lives. The COVID shot his now Health and Human Services Secretary. What is the significance of this?

Ed Doud (32:46)

That's another historic event and I'm very optimistic that over time it's gonna, you know, we can't rush to judgment if we don't see changes immediately. He's going to get in there, he's going to basically dissect what's going on and he'll figure out where the bodies are buried and we'll find out other horrors, I suspect, and there'll be change. So this is a great. I'm very optimistic, but I'm also very cautious. At the same Time.

Charlie Kirk (33:14)

Ed, thank you so much. Excellent analysis as always. Thank you so much.

Ed Doud (33:17)

Thank you, Charlie.

Charlie Kirk (33:21)

I am a donor to this organization, and you should be too. Start this new year by being a hero for life. Clade 338-502229 or click on the preborn banner@charliekirk.com that is charliekirk.com and click on the pre born banner. I'm a donor. You should be too. Charliekirk.com Preborn Banner so in Worcester, Massachusetts. Now, I gotta tell you, that is one of the harder things to pronounce correctly because if you didn't know any better, you'd think it would be Worchester or Worcester. No, no, it's Worcester, Massachusetts. They have not exactly received the memoir on the dewokification of the country. So we think a lot about sanctuary cities for illegals. There's a whole new sanctuary city that is being workshopped in Worcester, Massachusetts. They have recently voted to become a sanctuary city for trans and gender diverse people. You see the people of Worcester, Massachusetts, very similar. J.D. vance mentioned this. It's like the Japanese soldiers who hid in the jungles for 30 years and they're found in like the 1970s and they think the war is still going on. This is Worcester, Massachusetts. Now, I am positive because we have a national audience and very honored with that. I bet we have some fans in Wooster, Massachusetts. I bet there's somebody watching right now from Wooster who knows someone from Wooster. But that place is to the left of Stalingrad. And if they'll approve it, I might. I might. I might be doing a big speech in Boston. You know, it's one of the few major cities I've never given a speech in. I've been to Massachusetts many times. I've never given a speech in Boston. I've given a speech in Providence. I've given a speech in Hartford. I've given a speech in New York. And then the real question is, how do you pronounce Worcestershire sauce? That's how you do it. It's Worcestershire, for the record. Worcestershire. I love Worcestershire sauce. Oh, it's so good. Here it is in Worcester, Massachusetts. Play cut 92.

Unnamed Activist (36:27)

I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't. And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am.

Charlie Kirk (36:37)

Can you wrap up, please?

Unnamed Activist (36:39)

Yes, I can. If you say that you're afraid of Trump and that's why you don't want city to be the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.

Charlie Kirk (36:53)

Obviously, that is a direct threat. Now, I know what you're all thinking. That is going to be the 2028 Democrat nominee. Whomever that person is, who is that rock star? Got to get a name, you know, first. It's the victim. Straight to the threat. And look, we can make fun of this all day long, and we should, but in Worcester, Massachusetts. Whoo. They are. They are deciding to go all in. I'm going to read from NBC Boston. Wooster leaders vote to become a sanctuary city for the trans community. After a debate Tuesday, the Worcester City Council voted in favor of a resolution to protect transgender and gender diverse people. There's a new safe haven in the Bay State after Worcester officially becomes a sanctuary city for that community during a lengthy city council meeting. This meeting lasts about five hours and there were 200 people showed up to voice their support. So there's a. It's a sanctuary city for trans people. But Bill Millusion comes up with this horrifying story in Massachusetts. Quote, Massachusetts is the only state that frequently releases illegal aliens charged with aggravated child. I don't even know if I'm allowed to say that word. I would say child rape. And refuses to cooperate with ICE on detainer requests for them. So even in other sanctuary states and cities, he almost never sees a lack of cooperation for child rape. Listen to this case. Quote, In Massachusetts, a Guatemalan was charged with three times forcible child rape, three times aggravated child rape and is released on bail by Exis County, Massachusetts with ICE Boston saying their detainer request was ignored and they were not notified of his release. Even Gavin Newsom just promised to veto a Bill from Democrats barring ICE from access state prisons. But Massachusetts gets even worse. During one of his embeds with ICE Boston last year, they arrested four illegals raping kids, which happens. A lot of illegals rape K. All of them had been released by local jurisdictions with ICE detainers ignored. When Bill Melusion asked how is this possible? How is this possible? He received this answer from local police. Welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Thanks so much for listening everybody. Email us. As always, freedomarliekirk.com thanks so much for listening and God Bless.
