1. The Amnesty Revelation
Timestamp: [00:00 – 05:00]
Charlie Kirk opens the discussion with a significant update on the topic of amnesty. He announces that official amnesty is not forthcoming, a development he welcomes as a positive outcome. However, Kirk warns of attempts to circumvent this decision by introducing similar policies under different nomenclature. He emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant against such strategies to ensure that the core objectives of preventing amnesty are maintained.

2. Conversation with Senator Eric Schmidt
Timestamp: [01:42 – 22:38]
Senator Eric Schmidt joins the program to reinforce the stance against amnesty. He praises Kirk's efforts, stating, "Charlie, you've done an incredible job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA" ([01:42]). The Senator shares insights from recent discussions within the Senate, expressing skepticism about any forthcoming amnesty proposals despite rumors of their existence.
Schmidt highlights the unanimous commitment among top lawmakers to continue mass deportations, emphasizing that Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has publicly confirmed the absence of amnesty ([09:00]). He outlines potential loopholes that opponents might exploit to undermine deportation efforts, such as allowing undocumented immigrants to claim long-term residency without citizenship, thereby delaying or halting deportations.

"There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way." – Senator Eric Schmidt [16:56]
3. Recent Attacks on ICE and Border Patrol Agents
Timestamp: [19:11 – 23:29]
The discussion shifts to recent violent attacks targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents. Kirk references a news clip (Cut 308) reporting on ten suspects charged with attempted murder following attacks on federal agents. Senator Schmidt attributes these attacks to radical elements within the Democratic Party, accusing them of inciting violence against law enforcement through obstructionist rhetoric.
Schmidt underscores that such violence is a "natural progression" from intensified political and legal battles over immigration, asserting that Democrat-fueled resistance is escalating to dangerous levels ([20:32]). He argues that these actions stem from a broader ideological conflict, where some Democrats prioritize globalist agendas over national sovereignty and security.
Key Quote:
"These ICE agents are just doing their jobs. And you've got this report in Axios that some Democrat sources now are saying their base wants to confront this with more vigor." – Senator Eric Schmidt [20:32]
4. Public Opinion on Deportations
Timestamp: [23:29 – 26:06]
Charlie Kirk presents compelling polling data indicating overwhelming public support for the deportation of illegal immigrants. Citing four different reputable news sources, Kirk notes that between 55% to 64% of Americans favor deporting all individuals residing in the country illegally ([25:00]). This consensus reflects widespread concern over the economic and social impacts of illegal immigration, particularly on the middle class, who bear the brunt of strained public services and job competition.
Key Quote:
"There is a very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact, when they're asked this blunt question, want to deport all immigrants who are here illegally." – Charlie Kirk [23:34]
5. Chinese Communist Party's Involvement in U.S. Farmland
Timestamp: [26:06 – 28:31]
The conversation transitions to national security concerns regarding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) purchasing farmland in the United States. Senator Schmidt articulates the strategic threat posed by CCP investments, asserting that such acquisitions could undermine American sovereignty and economic stability. He warns that CCP oligarchs are targeting valuable agricultural assets to gain covert influence over critical food supply chains and infrastructure.
Schmidt emphasizes the necessity of restricting CCP ownership of American land to safeguard national interests and prevent foreign control over essential resources.
Key Quote:
"We have to change the way we view communist China. This isn't some trading partner that we want to have, you know, get cheap goods from. This is the 21st century, Charlie, will be defined by who wins this great powers competition." – Senator Eric Schmidt [26:34]
6. U.S. Foreign Policy: Ukraine and Putin’s Strategy
Timestamp: [28:31 – End]
In the latter part of the episode, Kirk discusses President Donald Trump's recent decision to supply more arms to Ukraine. While personally conflicted about the escalation, Kirk defends Trump’s approach as a means to regain leverage against Vladimir Putin. He explores Putin's tactics in prolonging the war in Ukraine, noting Putin's strategy of conscripting soldiers from economically disadvantaged regions to maintain domestic support while depleting Ukraine's defenses.
Kirk shares an insightful analysis based on a conversation with a State Department official, revealing how Putin avoids drafting individuals from Moscow and St. Petersburg to prevent domestic political backlash. This strategy allows Russia to sustain its military efforts without undermining the economic backbone of its major cities.
Key Quote:
"Putin has divided Russia into effectively two countries. There is Moscow and St. Petersburg... and then there's the rest of Russia, basically all rural Russia, which is very, very poor." – Charlie Kirk [27:06]
