The Charlie Kirk Show

Episode: President Trump's Epstein Vindication
Date: February 10, 2026
Host: Charlie Kirk

Episode Overview

In this episode, Charlie Kirk and co-host Blake discuss major current events focusing on the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents that vindicate former President Donald Trump. The conversation delves into the details of Trump’s involvement in the 2006 Epstein investigation, Ghislaine Maxwell’s congressional testimony, the media and political reactions, and broader implications for justice and culture. Later, the show pivots to data and reactions from the Super Bowl halftime controversy and features an interview with Frankie Bianco, general manager of Zoo Sports Club, who handled a viral Super Bowl incident. The tone remains unapologetically conservative, critical of mainstream narratives, and supportive of grassroots activism.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Epstein Documents: Trump’s Early Warning (01:18-09:58)

• Context:
  Newly unsealed court documents reportedly show Donald Trump called Palm Beach police as early as 2006 regarding Jeffrey Epstein, prior to Epstein’s arrest.

• Discussion:

  • Blake recounts that the documents derive from a 2019 FBI interview with then-Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Ryder, who stated Trump warned police about Epstein’s behavior.
  • Blake (02:59): “Trump calls Palm Beach police and he basically tells them, yeah, you guys should investigate this guy.”
  • Trump allegedly called Ghislaine Maxwell "evil," urging law enforcement to focus on her, with rumors about their activities being widely known in Palm Beach and New York circles.
  • Charlie (03:25): “Trump was one of the very first people to call… President Trump is quoted as saying he threw Epstein out of his club, called the police, and people in New York knew Epstein was ‘disgusting’.”

• Quote:
  Blake (03:17):

  “Trump also reportedly stated Maxwell was Epstein's operative and quote-unquote evil, advising to focus on her.”

Perspective on Political Impact

• The hosts argue that this evidence undermines conspiratorial narratives against Trump, emphasizing he is not implicated, and was actively warning authorities.
• Charlie (09:27): “They dig in… and, oh, it’s this previously unreported report of President Trump calling the police in 2006. Like, he truly is like the cleanest man ever when you think of the amount of effort to bring him down and what they ultimately find…”

2. Ghislaine Maxwell Testimony & Legal Maneuvering (05:21-07:12)

• Maxwell’s Fifth Amendment Plea:
  Video and coverage of Maxwell repeatedly invoking her Fifth Amendment rights in testimony, refusing to answer questions before Congress (notably Rep. Comer and Andy Biggs).
  • Maxwell (05:23):

    "I would like to answer your question, but on the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer this question and any related questions."

• Lawyer’s Negotiations:
  Maxwell’s lawyer indicated willingness to answer more questions if granted clemency.
  • Charlie (06:17):

    “Comer said that Maxwell’s attorney said she would, quote, answer questions if she were granted clemency by the President. So horse trading going on behind the scenes…”

• Rep. Andy Biggs Statement:
  Maxwell’s lawyer reportedly stated that neither Trump nor Clinton is culpable of wrongdoing.
• Implications:
  The hosts are skeptical that granting her clemency would provide trustworthy testimony, given potential for political spin.

3. Media Reactions & Narrative Spin (09:58-13:14)

• Mainstream Discomfort:
  Emphasizing perceived left-wing frustration with Trump’s vindication via the new documents.
  • Charlie (09:58):

    “The left is losing their mind about this revelation. They hate this. So it’s a good day.”

• Skepticism of Document Revelations:
  Both hosts caution against conspiracy inflation; most names in the files (other than Trump) are more suggestive of embarrassing associations (e.g., Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Noam Chomsky) than criminality.
  • Blake (13:14):

    “You might see one person covering it and making a huge deal about it. And then you’ll go and look deeper and you’ll realize that it’s been debunked or it’s some, like, Rando emailing Jeffrey Epstein about a dead body buried in the desert.”

4. Tech, Social Media, and Protecting Children (11:21-17:31)

• Discussion of Harmful Online Content:

  • Hosts highlight congressional hearings on social media and child exploitation, calling out Meta and Google.
  • Concerns are raised about child pornography and sexualization of minors on platforms like Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and X (formerly Twitter).

• Elon Musk’s Involvement:

  • Noted embarrassment for Musk over being named in Epstein files, though hosts clarify most elite connections appear salacious but not criminal.
  • Blake (15:51):

    “There is a porn problem and a child porn problem on X. I think what would be a great outcome from all of this is that you would clean up, just ban porn and everything gets about a hundred times better on that site… and I think X should get cleaned up.”

• European Regulation:

  • Discuss recent European efforts to regulate or ban X under the guise of child protection, while the hosts assert free speech is the real political target.

5. Super Bowl Halftime Show Controversy and Interview with Frankie Bianco (19:00-28:36)

Viral Sports Bar Incident

• Interviewee: Frankie Bianco, GM, Zoo Sports Club, Tampa
• Incident:
  Frankie went viral after a customer demanded the Bad Bunny Spanish-language halftime show be played. Instead, the club opted for the "All American Halftime Show" due to overwhelming demand.
• Frankie’s Explanation (20:22):

  “…There were no rules to who can come in. There were only rules on how to act once you’re there… My personal beliefs and political side of the aisle I sit on had nothing to do with any of the decisions I make at work… It was money. And I had about 250 people in the club and around 240 some odd wanted the all American halftime show. So that's what I put on.”

• Positive Reception:
  • Frankie received overwhelming (98%) local support for his decision.
  • Frankie (24:51):

    “Our core group of customers have been screaming support. My staff… they have my back. I have their back.”

• Charlie’s Response:
  • Applauds Frankie for standing strong and prioritizing his customers, framing the backlash as fleeting “five minutes outrage.”
  • Charlie (27:41):

    “These are all miserable people. These are people that their whole existence online is to just throw wrenches into the gears of other people that are doing real things. And that's what it sounds like you guys are doing at the club.”

6. Halftime Viewership Data & Alternative Shows (30:29-38:19)

• Contested Ratings:
  Contradictory reports about the viewership of the official halftime show versus the All American Halftime Show.

  • Samba TV found a 39% decline in halftime viewers compared to the prior year (26.5 million households for Bad Bunny vs. 39% higher last year).
  • Nielsen’s numbers are higher due to method differences (households vs. viewers).

• Charlie (32:40):

  “Samba might be, in theory, better data… At the very least, Samba is using apples to apples data… their data says there was a massive 22 million household drop off for the halftime show.”

• Alternative Halftime Success:

  • The All American Halftime Show, produced by Turning Point USA and partners, reportedly reached possible historic levels:
  • Charlie (36:53):

    “What we can tell you is that this was probably the second largest live stream in YouTube history. And that’s just Turning Point’s channel… It very well could have been the number one live stream event in YouTube history.”

  • The hosts suggest this signals a tectonic shift, with mainstream entertainment potentially losing cultural monopoly.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Blake (02:59):
  “Trump calls Palm Beach police and he basically tells them, yeah, you guys should investigate this guy… He’s a creep.”

• Charlie (09:27):
  “Like, he truly is like the cleanest man ever when you think of the amount of effort to bring him down and what they ultimately find…”

• Frankie Bianco (20:22):
  “There were no rules to who can come in. There were only rules on how to act once you’re there… It wasn’t left or right, it wasn’t red or blue, it was green. It was money.”

• Charlie (27:41):
  “These are all miserable people. These are people that their whole existence online is to just throw wrenches into the gears of other people that are doing real things.”

• Charlie (36:53):
  “What we can tell you is that this was probably the second largest live stream in YouTube history. And that’s just Turning Point’s channel…”
