The Charlie Kirk Show: The Kilmar Abrego Garcia Truth
Episode Title: The Kilmar Abrego Garcia Truth
Host: Charlie Kirk
Release Date: April 18, 2025
1. Introduction: Exposing Kilmar Abrego Garcia
In this episode, Charlie Kirk delves into the controversial case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a figure the Democratic Party fervently supports. Kirk begins by highlighting Garcia's alleged affiliations with the MS-13 gang, using visible evidence from his tattoos to question Garcia's suitability to remain in the United States.
Charlie Kirk [00:00]: “Mr. Garcia, who the Democrats fight so hard for, has Ms. 13 tattoos. That's right. He's part of Ms. 13. And the Democrats will fly all the way to El Salvador to try to bring him back.”
Kirk argues that the Democrats are prioritizing Garcia’s return despite his alleged criminal background, framing it as part of a larger pattern of the party supporting individuals with questionable histories.
2. Legal Insights with Stephen Miller
Charlie introduces Stephen Miller, a former White House advisor, to provide a legal perspective on Garcia's case. Miller explains the implications of Garcia’s MS-13 affiliation under federal law.
Stephen Miller [10:47]: “Two immigration courts found that he was a member of Ms. 13. When President Trump declared Ms. 13 to be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant that he was no longer eligible under federal law, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States.”
Miller further clarifies that despite the Supreme Court's unanimous reversal of the deportation order, the administration faces significant challenges in returning Garcia to the U.S.
Stephen Miller [10:47]: “The Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 90 unanimously stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the president could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador.”
3. Media Representation and Paula Reid’s Commentary
Paula Reid joins the discussion, critiquing how the media portrays the Supreme Court's decision regarding Garcia.
Paula Reid [11:48]: “President Trump and President Bukele made it clear that Abrego Garcia will not be returned to the United States despite this US Supreme Court ruling saying that Trump had to facilitate his return.”
Reid emphasizes the technicalities of the Supreme Court's decision, suggesting that the administration is operating within the ambiguous legal framework provided by the ruling.
Paula Reid [12:10]: “Look, they're working within the ambiguity that the Supreme Court justices gave them. They did not order the administration to return him to the United States. They said that they need to facilitate this return.”
4. Personal Impact: Interview with Garcia’s Wife
Michael Strahan conducts an emotional interview with Garcia’s wife, who had previously taken out a temporary restraining order against him.
Michael Strahan [13:15]: “You did take out a temporary order of protection against your husband in 2021. Were you in fear of your husband?”
Kirk uses this segment to highlight Garcia's violent behavior, reinforcing the narrative of him being a dangerous individual.
Charlie Kirk [13:35]: “Just think about it. If you're here in this country illegally, you do not have a right to belong. Period. The MS-13 wife beating elements of this make it even easier for us to make our argument.”
5. Democratic Party’s Agenda and Hypocrisy
Kirk critiques the Democratic Party’s stance, suggesting a double standard in their immigration policies and support for individuals like Garcia.
Charlie Kirk [02:00]: “The Democrat party is applauding this. In fact, they think he is more of an American than the welder in Columbus, Ohio. They think he is more of an American than the pipe fitter in Allenton, Pennsylvania.”
He draws parallels between Garcia's case and other Democratic-supported individuals with troubling backgrounds, arguing that the party’s priorities are misaligned.
6. Guest Segment: Maxime Bernier on Canadian Immigration
The episode features Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, discussing the issue of mass immigration in Canada and drawing parallels to U.S. policies.
Maxime Bernier [16:26]: “We are the only political party at the national level that is ready to have a moratorium on immigration to preserve our country.”
Bernier criticizes the Liberal and Conservative parties in Canada for their stance on immigration, highlighting the rapid population growth driven primarily by immigration and expressing concerns over cultural and economic impacts.
Maxime Bernier [17:30]: “97% of the growth of our population is coming from immigration. So that is the replacement theory in action. If you have that for a couple of years, that will be the end of our country.”
Kirk and Bernier discuss the broader implications of unchecked immigration, emphasizing the need for policy reforms to protect national interests and cultural integrity.
7. Criticism of Canadian Political Figures
Bernier further criticizes Canadian political leaders, particularly Pierre Poilievre and Justin Trudeau, for their policies on immigration and climate change.
Maxime Bernier [22:49]: “Pierre Poilievre wants to be the Prime Minister of Canada, and he tries to please everybody and is pandering to the left... on climate change, they are okay with large deficits.”
He contrasts Bernier’s platform with that of mainstream parties, advocating for fiscal responsibility and stricter immigration controls as essential for Canada’s future.
8. Higher Education and Federal Funding
Kirk shifts focus to higher education, particularly targeting institutions like Harvard University, criticizing their reliance on federal funding and alleged perpetuation of extremist ideologies.
Charlie Kirk [28:57]: “Harvard is in contempt of Congress. And all the attention is just about the anti-Semitism. They have ignored a Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. That is their weak spot.”
He argues that elite universities are complicit in promoting a left-wing, postmodernist worldview, urging for the defunding of such institutions to undermine their influence.
Charlie Kirk [32:00]: “Why can't they finance it themselves? Why can't they go raise the money from donors? They're sitting on a $50 billion cash pile. Play cut 187.”
Kirk emphasizes the vast financial resources of these universities and calls for a systematic withdrawal of federal support to diminish their power and impact on American society.
9. Conclusion: Upholding American Values
In wrapping up, Charlie Kirk reinforces the themes discussed throughout the episode, reiterating the importance of stringent immigration policies and accountability of influential institutions.
Charlie Kirk [32:42]: “That really is unearned credibility that goes at the core of some of the biggest problems that we have here in the West. They hate the promise of the Constitution. They don't talk about our founding documents.”
He calls for a united front to defend American values against what he perceives as internal and external threats, urging listeners to stay informed and engaged in the political discourse.
Charlie Kirk [32:42]: “Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us. As always, freedom.CharliKirk.com thanks so much for listening and God bless.”
