Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
The Charlie Kirk Show starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Angela's Fire Department is launching its first ever Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion Bureau.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
It is dedicated to ensuring a fair and equal workplace environment.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Every day, the LAFD is called upon to respond to crises,
and today it is taking a step to resolve one
of its own. The Department's first ever Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion Bureau will launch in January, one year since its
first ever female fire Chief, Kristan Crowley.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
What's appointed So by creating this new bureau, our Diversity
Equity Inclusion Bureau, now we actually have the staff to
do the work.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
When it comes to doing a deep dive in regard
to how we.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Do business, how we take care of one another in
the fire stations and in our work environment.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
The plan is to do so by adding training and
enforcing accountability.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
My heart goes out obviously that the people at their
homes and I'm watching the small businesses around us go
up in plains. There's just people's widely roods, so it's devastating.
But what is most concerning to me is our first responders,
in our firefighters, who are trying to battle this there's

(01:24):
no water the palifit, there's no water coming out of
the fire highter.

Speaker 7 (01:29):
This is an.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
Absolute mismanagement by the city, not the firefighter's fault. It's
at the city. And I'm going to be very honest.
We've got a mayor that's out of the country and
we've got a city that's burning, and there's no resources
to put out fires. So if you look at your pictures,
you don't see the firefighters there because there's nothing they
can do. And it looks like we're in a third

(01:52):
world country here.

Speaker 8 (01:54):
We have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of migrants here
illegally that have convicted of crimes, and I don't know
why who wants to defend to allow them to remain
in our nation for that? And now if you're here
illegally and you're committing crimes and those things, I don't
know why anybody thinks that it's controversial that they all

(02:17):
need to go.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Do you think that this was one of, if not
the biggest issue.

Speaker 8 (02:21):
For this election, Well, I think if we can't you know,
there's forty seven of us in the Senate, and if
we can't pull up with with seven votes, and if
we can't get at least seven out of forty seven.
And if we can't, then that's the reason why we lost.
That's one of them. That's one of why we lost.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
Apartments or construing military force to acquire agreement, Are you
also considering a military force to.

Speaker 10 (02:50):
Acquire an economic force?

Speaker 11 (02:53):
Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.

Speaker 12 (02:58):
You get rid of that artificial drawn line and you
take a look at what that looks like, and it
would also be much better for national security.

Speaker 13 (03:06):
You don't forget we basically protect Canada.

Speaker 11 (03:08):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a
beautiful ring that covers a lot of charactery.

Speaker 10 (03:20):
The Gulf of America.

Speaker 11 (03:21):
What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate, it's appropriate.

Speaker 10 (03:26):
All hell must be paid, and they don't release mess,
don't you well do.

Speaker 13 (03:30):
I have to define it for you. All hell will break.

Speaker 12 (03:32):
Out if those hostages aren't back.

Speaker 7 (03:35):
I don't want to hurt your negotiation.

Speaker 12 (03:37):
If they're not back by the time I get into office,
all hell will break out in the Middle East and
it will not be good for Hamas and it will
not be good frankly, for anyone, all hell will break out.

Speaker 11 (03:49):
I don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is.
Your references to Greenland and i'ma can out.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
So can you assure the world as you try to
get con full of these areas, you are not going
to use.

Speaker 10 (04:04):
Military or economic portionion?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
No, can you tell us a little bit about what
your plan is. Are you going to negotiate a new treaty?

Speaker 10 (04:13):
Are you going to ask the Canadians to hold the boat?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
What is the strategy?

Speaker 7 (04:18):
I can't assure you.

Speaker 11 (04:19):
You're talking about Panama and Greenland. No, I can't assure
you on either of those two.

Speaker 10 (04:24):
But I can say this, we.

Speaker 11 (04:26):
Need them for economic security. The Panama Canal was built
for a military I'm not going to commit to that now.
It might be that you'll have to do something. Look,
the Panama Canal.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
Is vital to our country.

Speaker 10 (04:42):
It's being operated by China.

Speaker 12 (04:45):
China, and we gave the Panama Canal to Panama.

Speaker 11 (04:48):
We didn't give it to China, and they've abused it.

Speaker 13 (04:51):
They've abused that gift.

Speaker 14 (05:02):
Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information
coming from every angle, but the will to the sea,
fear not you found the place for truth, the voice
of a generation that still has the will to believe
in the greatest country in the history of the world.
This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a life. Here

(05:23):
we go.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Okay, everybody, radio stations across the country. I am back
behind the microphone, back from Greenland. Lots to share about that.
I first want to say, we are going to cover
the terrible strategy that's happening with the California fires later
this program. Three friends of mine have already lost their homes.
It's a terrible situation. We are going to cover it extensively.

(05:46):
But first I want to give you in this audience
an exclusive update of what I was up to this
last twenty four hours. Donald Trump Junior, a very good
friend of mine, gave me a cause, said, hey, do
you want to come to Greenland?

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, that sounds great.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
So we boarded Trump Force one at two am on
January the seventh. I even hid this from most of
my staff. Almost no one had any idea this was
not to be leaked, not to be publicized. At two am,
we got on Trump Force one and flew from Palm

(06:23):
Beach to Nook to Nook Greenland. Six hour flight, three
hour time change. Let's get all the videos, guys up
there and all the pictures please. Landed around eleven am
local time as the sun was rising. The sun rise
in Greenland this time of year is at eleven am.

(06:48):
Get off the plane and by the way, we are
greeted by hundreds of people, hundreds of people that are
just curious. We then go to the top of a
very sacred site in Greenland, the place where the first
missionary actually ever came to Greenland from Europe of in
seventeen forty five. Yeah, that's it right there, that's right

(07:11):
as the sun is rising, and all of a sudden,
we started to run into people with maga hats all
throughout Nook, Greenland. Now mind you, the population of Greenland
is fifty thousand people. In Nook, it's something like thirty
thousand people maybe, And all of a sudden, people are
lining the streets asking Donald Trump Junior for pictures, and

(07:34):
they have maga hats, and there's people by the way,
there's a greeting group at the airport of hundreds of people.
What was striking is how many people in Nook, Greenland
watched the Charlie Kirk Show followed us on TikTok. They said, oh,
I follow you on TikTok, oh, I follow you on
social media. There's one of the people right there with

(07:54):
the maga hat who was working at the airport and
greeted us with a maga hate and right as the
Trump Forst one was coming in one of the ushers
at the airport. We then went to a restaurant and
we were literally so we were so consumed by people,
so overwhelmed, we had to go get a private room
and then we brought some of the local folks in.

(08:17):
There's Donald Trump Junior just with some of the workers there,
signing maga hats, taking questions, talking to people, and we
were there for three hours on the ground and we
learned a lot. We learned a lot. Number one, it
is so hard to do it justice. It's very, very
hard to articulate. It's hard to show the pictures of

(08:41):
just how beautiful Greenland is. I've been to Alaska, I've
been to all parts of Canada. It is objectively one
of the most pristine, overwhelming physical environments that I've ever seen.
It's untouched, it's as raw nature as you can ever

(09:03):
find that you can ever come in contact with. It's
like you are here and there is the wild. There's
polar bears that walk around Nook. Polar bears very spiritual
in any ways, incredibly so that's number one. Number two
talking to the locals and getting to know them. They

(09:23):
can't stand their current Danish masters. They believe that Denmark,
who is currently controlling of Greenland and of Nook, which
is the largest city in Greenland, they are being mistreated.
They do not like the status quo and they want
a change. They say that when they go to Copenhagen,

(09:48):
which of course is the capital of Denmark, they are
told by local Danes go back to your home of Nook,
You're not welcome here. They want to be part of
a country that respects them, that gives them human rights.
Right now, they said, quote, when we feel like prisoners
in our own land, that we are being controlled by

(10:09):
these Danish masters who treat us terribly. And number three,
which was the other take, where the people of Greenland
or some of the sweetest They are some of the
kindest and warmest people. Incredibly authentic. Now you might be asking,

(10:30):
but what is the reason that everyone is talking about
Greenland Greenland is not just a fun issue to debate.
There are very serious geopolitical reasons as to why the
United States of America should assume control, or purchase, or
whatever process the president ends up doing back.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Control of Greenland. Number one.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Greenland is the northernmost land in the Western Hemisphere and
has critical military importance. The shortest route from America to
Russia is actually across the North Pole. That's why we
have actually a military base in northern Greenland fool Space
Force Space, whose purpose is to monitor potential and possible

(11:18):
missile launches. Greenland is the world's largest island. There are
tons of resources buried under its ice cap. We actually
don't even know how wealthy this country is. As a
side note, a young boy comes up. He says, Charlie, Charlie.
I said, oh, hey, how are you. I follow you
on TikTok. I need to show you something. He shows
me his phone. He says, in my village three hours

(11:41):
from here, when we just kind of go out into
the countryside, we find rubies the size of baseballs. I said,
what he said, We have rubies the size of baseballs
in my village. Now, mind you, they're not as valuable
as you might think, because they need to be they
need to be.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Cut a certain way. They lose value, but they're very valuable.
He says.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
The Danes don't let us mine our rubies, our gold,
our lithium or our gas. He said, it's time for
a rebellion against the Danes. The younger people of Nook,
the younger people of Greenland, they want to be rich.
And oh my goodness, do they have wealth in Greenland.
Incomprehensible amounts of wealth. We are talking that Greenland could

(12:26):
be the new Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia, Permian Basin, Marcellus
shale and the Balkan all mixed into one. America should
want those resources for our country, and Greenland should want
them for their country. We be far more willing and

(12:49):
able to develop them than Denmark and the socialist Greta
Thunberg environmentalists from Copenhagen. In the long run, they will
be developed by someone. There are three options of who
will control Greenland, America, Russia or China. America, Russia or China.

(13:10):
Trying to tell me that Danish military is going to
be able to fend off the Chinese Communist Party, Greenland
is so strategic This is the third and final point
that during World War Two the United States occupied it
just to keep Germans from seizing it. After the war
we briefly proposed buying it back, when instead we gave

(13:32):
it back. We never should have given it back. We
should have insisted on a sale and assumed control of it.
Acquiring Greenland would give America a sense of growing vitality.
There would be a new American territory for ambitious Americans
to go and develop. And I could tell you in
my short time there, but it was very thorough. There

(13:53):
is so much opportunity. You are talking about places where
resorts can be developed, entrepreneurs can deepen their roots, the fishing,
the wildlife, the hunting, the natural experience. It is a
perfect fit to the United States. And people say, oh,
you know, Charlie, we should you know, America shouldn't expand. Well,

(14:15):
Alaska's part of the United States. We purchased Alaska, and
that was a good purchase for America. Greenland for the
twenty first century would not just be good, it is essential.
It is integral strategic location, defense against threats, access to
key resources, preventing China's expansion, and economic and military advantage.

(14:42):
It was an honor to be able to see Greenland
first hand and right up close. I never thought I
would do it, and I think the table is set
for President Trump to make the art of the deal happen,
the art of the possible, and we might welcome Greenland

(15:02):
as part of our American family.

Speaker 15 (16:00):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. At the moment, President Trump's New York sentencing,
which is scheduled for Friday, is still on. However, just
this morning, his attorney's petitioned the US Supreme Court to
intercede and stop the sentencing. The move comes after an
appeals Court judge denied the President elect's request for an

(16:20):
emergency order halting the hearing. In arguments on Tuesday, President
Trump's attorney made the assertion that President Trump is protected
by presidential immunity as the president elect, therefore he shouldn't
have to go through any legal process. It wasn't enough
to persuade the judge, though, to put Friday's hearing on ice.
That means the soon to be forty seventh president will

(16:42):
answer to his thirty four count conviction on felony counts
of falsifying business records on Friday, unless the Supreme Court
steps in. Judge Wan Merschan, who will oversee Friday sentencing
has indicated there will be no jail time and just
into our newsroom. The US Justice Department says it will
release part of Special Counsel Jacksmith's findings on President Trump's

(17:04):
alleged efforts to undo the results of the twenty twenty
presidential election.

Speaker 10 (17:08):
However, the full.

Speaker 15 (17:09):
Investigative report on the president led to hoarding of classified
documents will remain under wraps.

Speaker 10 (17:15):
That's a quick check of your.

Speaker 16 (17:16):
Okay, everybody, welcome back.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Email us Freedom at charliekirk dot com and subscribe to
our podcast.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Charlie Kirkshow podcast is doing very well.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
The people of Greenland are being terrorized by the Danish government,
and some people are saying, oh, you know, why do
we want to expand the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Lookly, we don't have a choice.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
China is expanding and it's not a matter of even expansionism.
If you are against the acquisition of Greenland, then you
should say let's give Alaska back to Russia.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
You must consistent.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
You should say, hey, we should just give the Louisiana
purchase back to the French. Greenland is a small population
of people that want to be great, that want their
country back that wants to come to greatness. And they
were so complementary of America. They said Americans. Americans are

(18:26):
the nicest, they are the kindest. This is what the
Greenlandic government said in twenty twenty one when it scuttled
the search for oil. There quote, the future does not
lie in oil. The future belongs to renewable energy. The
government said it wants to take coresponsibility for combating the
global climate crisis.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
So what they're.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Saying is they want the people of Nook to remain
poor because of climate change no growth. Really, how are
you going to power all of your AI data centers.
So basically, let's keep Greenland in the third world while
they are sitting on liquid gold, and a lot of
liquid gold. By the way, you could structure a deal

(19:10):
very similar to Alaska, where there is a trust basically
a universal basic income, where the people of Greenland could
all get royalties off of the extracted oil, natural gas,
and minerals. It works in Alaska and it could work
in Greenland. They have fifty thousand people in Greenland and
they could all be partners in this deal. And how

(19:33):
about lithium or nickel, the key ingredients of technology, of
the technology of the future. This stuff does not just
come ex Nihilo and fall from the skies in the hebs.
What do you think your semiconductors are made of? What
do you think your phones are made of? These environmentalists
they never want us to dig or search or exploit.
At the same time they want to have an AI
data center. So you could go make an image of

(19:55):
a cat dancing to ymca. Well, what do you think
actually powers the ability for you to be able to
do that. Rare earth, by the way, is a huge component.
Do you know that the Chinese Communist Party controls eighty
percent of all of the planet's rare earth minerals. So
here you have greenland with wonderful people, strategically located liquid gold, nickel, lithium,

(20:21):
rare earth minerals. It has fifty six thousand people, So
you're not talking about potentially assuming fifty six million people.
Fifty six thousand people. And by the way, if the
Democrats all of a sudden say, oh, I don't know,
you guys, let ten thousand people a day into this
country illegally, I think fifty six thousand people in a

(20:42):
separate territory is perfectly legitimate if we're going to get
liquid gold, natural resources, strategic placement against Russia and China.
I mean, it's nothing but benefits. But there is this
other component mix a Mameria could dream again that we're not
just this sad low testosterone beta male slouching in our

(21:07):
chair allowing the world to run over us. It is
the resurrection of masculine American energy. It is the return
of manifest destiny. Gulf of America. We're taking back the
Panama Canal and we're going to do whatever it takes
to have Greenland be part of the United States of America.

(21:29):
And look, you could let the locals make decisions about
their sovereignty, do a referendum. If there is a referendum,
the Danes will lose. I guarantee them. If there is
a referendum, the Danes will lose. The Greenlandic people love America.
They're wearing Maga hats on the side of the street, cheering.
How hard is it to get a magahat in Greenland?
It's pretty remarkable. This is about strengthening and solidifying the

(21:58):
United States of America. We've tried many times to try
to purchase Greenland. It's not a new idea. But also
the Danes should set this one out. How many hundreds
of billions of dollars have we spent on European security
and defense over the years on NATO, on our military basis,
we pay for all of their national defense. And Denmark

(22:23):
is a small country, small, nice, fine whatever. I think
they're technically a Scandinavian country. I think they are Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark.
I think they are tind nothing against Denmark. But the
Danes are not going to stand up to the Chinese
Communist Party.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
That's a joke. Not going to stand up to this
behemoth in the east.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
For the well being of the people of Greenland, come
under the United States of America. You'll be wealthier, you'll
be happier, you'll be protected, you'll be safer. You are
living through history, everybody, and we will chair your homeland
and protect it from all the enemies around the world,
and we will make Greenland great again. We'll be right back, everybody.

Speaker 15 (23:16):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. President like Donald Trump, beginning to meet with
Senate and House Republicans today to ensure that everyone is
on the same page. When it comes to President Trump's
agenda once he takes office January twentieth, much of the
conversation is expected to center around spending on border security,
as well as tax cuts.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
And spending cuts.

Speaker 15 (23:38):
While mister Trump is calling for what he describes as
one big, beautiful bill, other lawmakers want to break the
funding priorities into separate bills. Missouri Congressman Eric Burlson what
say ye yeah.

Speaker 17 (23:50):
I am going to be meeting with the President this
Friday and along with a group of members, and I
want to convey to him that we want to liver
on your campaign pledges and your vision for America. We
have one last opportunity. I think this is one of
the last, if not the last, opportunity. We have to

(24:12):
turn this ship around and save this country. And we
cannot be soft on these measures. So we I think
we need to go big. We need to have radical
spending cuts in order to save and pull this ship up.

Speaker 15 (24:28):
Meantime, on the other end of the country, tens of
thousands of people in the Los Angeles area are out
of their homes right now as a handful of wildfires
eating through real estate in that area. Thirty thousand people
have been told to evacuate, many more leaving willingly.

Speaker 10 (24:42):
Santa Ana.

Speaker 15 (24:43):
Winds blowing at speeds of about sixty miles an hour
are fueling the various wildfires and keeping firefighters busy around
the clock.

Speaker 18 (24:51):
At the bottom of the canyon, there was cars piled
on top of each other. There was boulders and agreed
that fell off the off the canyon that was on fire.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
That was in the middle of the road where people
have to abandon their cars.

Speaker 18 (25:05):
I know people that live in that data community right
there on Sunset and Palisa Circle that was on fire.
The hillside was on fire, and it's actually the hillside,
the hillside behind my house.

Speaker 15 (25:19):
At last check, the wildfires were zero percent contained. We're
also just learning that at least two people are dead
as a result of these blazes. It's such a dire
situation that the Los Angeles Fire Department is asking off
duty firefighters to come in and help out. President Biden
has also been forced to cancel a plan trip to
Riverside County, California as a result of the fires. That's

(25:41):
a great check off your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
From the Chavs.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
The Bullhorn to the microphone. It's the Charliekirkshow okay, everybody,
welcome back. Email Less is always freedom. At Charliekirk dot com.
I want to tell you about my Patriots Supply. I mean,
I know three friends that just lost their homes in
the California fires. You never know when disaster is going
to strike, and it could be an EMP attack, which

(26:19):
our next guest has actually been speaking about.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
For quite some time. Senator Ron Johnson.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
For all these reasons, I have an emergency food supply
from my Patriots Supply right now. They're offering one hundred
dollars off their three month emergency food kits.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's got two thousand.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Calories per day for three home months, plenty to get
you through even a prolonged emergency. All their food kits
last up to twenty five years in storage. Plus they
come in rugged, rugged weatherproof buckets. So go to my
Patriots Supply dot com for this special offer. That is
my Patriotsupply dot Com. My Patriotsupply dot Com is now

(27:00):
is Senator Ron Johnson from the great state of Wisconsin.
Senator thank you so much for joining the program. Lots
to cover here, Senator, First, I want to talk about
some news within the United States Senate. Are you in
the opinion that we should have one major omnimbus bill
or two separate spending bills?

Speaker 10 (27:19):
Oh, listen, I'll go with whatever works.

Speaker 19 (27:21):
I personally think it'd be easier to quick get the
border funding passed because I think the tax bill settling on.
I think the major seeking point is going to be
what spending level are we going to agree to within
the conference. We've got big Spanish in our conference as well.
I don't think anybody voted for President Trump to maintain
Biden's spending levels, and I want to talk a little

(27:43):
bit about that. But I think the easiest thing to
do would be two packages, quite honestly, so we can
get that border funding right away before the news media
starts talking about what it looks like to deport. Somebody
could have a few individuals waiver on the support for that.
So I'd rather get the border funding done and then

(28:03):
take our.

Speaker 13 (28:04):
Time part of the taxing.

Speaker 19 (28:05):
I'd really like to simplify rationalized or tax code primary
goals prevent a massive automatic tax increase from occurring in
twenty twenty six. I mean that ought to be incentive
enough But as long as we're doing that, if we
can simply rationalized tax code, that'd be a good thing.
But we must agree on dramatically lower spending levels. And
what we're spending right now, this is absurd that we

(28:26):
haven't returned to some pre pandemic baseline. We've in twenty nineteen, Charlie,
we spent four point four trillion dollars. Then we have
a spending spree during twenty twenty six point six trillion.
Last five years we've avered six point five trillion dollars.
We've never returned to pre pandemic level baseline, which is absurd,

(28:47):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 13 (28:47):
It's just not justifying.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Yeah, so what is the appetite right now in the
US Senate to cut spending? Is there anybody in the
Democrat Party that's interested in this because we're borrowing a
trillion dollars every hundred days.

Speaker 13 (29:01):
No, and my concern is we're not going to have
enough for rebub visit. Are willing to do it either?

Speaker 19 (29:06):
Again, it's so easy to just say, oh, well, this
is what we spent last year, and boy, if we
don't spend at least at them out, we're going to
be accused of striving women and children. So I'm trying
to make the case. I'm trying to actually tell the American.

Speaker 13 (29:19):
Public these are the numbers, because.

Speaker 19 (29:21):
I think we have a general sense that we're federal
government is totally out of control, but nobody knows specifically.

Speaker 13 (29:27):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 19 (29:28):
Four point four trillion in twenty nineteen, last five years
now six point five trillion, Charlie, that's absurdity. It's like
a family who makes one hundred thousand bucks, right, or
spends one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 13 (29:40):
They have an illness all of a sudden.

Speaker 19 (29:42):
They have fifty thousand dollars worth of medical bills, so
they spend one point.

Speaker 13 (29:45):
Fifty That individual gets cured, but they keep.

Speaker 19 (29:48):
Going, continue to spend one hundred fifty thousand bucks and
borrow the money to do it. I mean, nobody would
do that. That's exactly what the federal government's doing. So
I think we explain this. I've come up with a
couple of different options. If, for example, if you go
back to nineteen ninety eight, that's the last year we
had the first year we had a surplus in.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
Nineteen sixty nine.

Speaker 19 (30:07):
This was Bill Clinton's spending, and you take Social Security
and Medicare off table, you just plug those in at
Biden's twenty twenty five numbers and interest, but inflate all
of Bill Clinton's spending to account for population growth and inflation,
we'd be spending five point five trillion dollars and we.

Speaker 13 (30:26):
Have a balanced budget.

Speaker 19 (30:27):
So does Enbidy argue that Bill Clinton didn't spend enough
money on all this other crap? If you go back
to Obama's twenty fourteen do the same thing, That'd be
six point two trillion dollars, even if he was twenty nineteen,
and inflate it again based on population and inflation, you'd
be in about six point five which is eight hundred billion
dollars less from what Biden says he's going to spend

(30:49):
right now. So why would we lock into Biden numbers
and be arguing over saving one hundred billion or so?

Speaker 13 (30:55):
I mean, it's so inadequate.

Speaker 19 (30:57):
We need to dramatically lower the baselines an level back
to what it was prior.

Speaker 13 (31:01):
To the pandemic.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
I totally and completely agree. If you were to say
to some of the and I know you've detailed some
of this, but where can we find some agreement in
the Republican Conference of where to cut. Is there any
appetite to cut some of the Pentagon budget?

Speaker 19 (31:18):
Certainly is on my part. I think we need to
really look at where do we spend their money. I mean,
we've got these massive, you know, platforms that can be
taken out with asymmetric warfare. We got these Abram tanks.
They have to kind of run out of their hole
in Ukraine, fire a couple of shots and run right
back because they're vulnerable to the drones, you know, to
drones across thousands of dollars, not millions. So again again

(31:42):
the Pentagon that they're not they're not keeping up with
warfare right now, that they're they're coddling to the military
destrict complex.

Speaker 13 (31:49):
One d millimeters shells, this is a prime example.

Speaker 19 (31:53):
Russia produces those things about four and a half million
of them at about six hundred dollars a pot. The
West can only produce about two million shells. We get
charged six thousand dollars eight thousand euros in Europe. That's
how we're getting hosed I use that word by the
military industrial complex. So yeah, no, we've got to take
a real series look at that.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
So, Senator, let's let's now dive into the very curious
developments of John Fetterman. John Fetterman, who seems to be
very hard to pinpoint here. Here he is in this
interview admonishing his fellow Democrats for opposing the Lake and
Riley Act. Let's play cut sixty four.

Speaker 8 (32:38):
We have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of migrants here
illegally that have convicted of crimes, and I don't know
why who wants to defend to allow them to remain
in our nation. There that and now if you're here
illegally and you're committing crimes and those things, I don't
know why anybody thinks that it it's controversial that they

(33:01):
all need to go.

Speaker 7 (33:02):
Do you think that this was one of, if not
the biggest issue for this election.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
Well, I think if we can't, you know, there's forty
seven of us in the Senate, and if we can't
pull up with seven votes, if we can't get at
least seven out of forty seven, and if we can't,
then that's the reason why we lost.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
That's one of them. That's one of why we lost.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
In part, Senator, what is going on with mister Fetterman.

Speaker 19 (33:30):
Well, first of all, he comes from a swing state
like I do, and he realizes that obviously they lost
the Senate seat in Pennsylvania, he'll be up for reelection eventually.
I think again, he's smart enough to realize that that
was a big issue in this election. And by the way,
who could oppose literally what rational individual can impose deporting criminals?

Speaker 13 (33:53):
Well, Democrat Party in.

Speaker 19 (33:55):
Total, they did oppose that because they wanted an open border.
They elect George Soros prosecutors, but a lot of those
prosecutors lost as well. So you know, Federman in a
swing state sees when the tide turns, and he's a
smart enough politician to at least not buck these major trends.

Speaker 13 (34:12):
Where again, you can't defend opposing a bill that's going
to deport criminals.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
So it's hard to tell whether or not it's authentic.
Do you think that there will be more Democrats that
potentially might signal similarly and John Ossif or others you
are your thoughts on.

Speaker 19 (34:30):
This, well, listen, I think vulnerable Democrats those are up
for re election in twenty twenty six, they may vote.

Speaker 13 (34:37):
I'll be surprised if.

Speaker 19 (34:39):
We get more than six because if we get seven
the bill passes, I'm not sure the Democrat Party is
going to let it pass.

Speaker 13 (34:46):
I mean again, I can't explain that.

Speaker 10 (34:47):
I mean, I can't explain liberalism.

Speaker 19 (34:50):
I can't explain the way the Democrat Party is taking
such a strong, you know, turn to the left here.

Speaker 13 (34:55):
But that's that's who they are right now.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
The let's play cut ninety five.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Senator Fetterman of whether or not he might support some
of Trump's nominees, play cut ninety five.

Speaker 8 (35:08):
But I want to sit down and have a conversation,
and I'm really glad that I've done that. And some
of these nominees I'm going to vote for already. In fact,
you know, whether it's my our colleague Rubio, Representative Stephan Nick,
or even Sean Duffy, you know, I expect to vote
for him as well too, and brook Rollins for agriculture again.

(35:29):
So there's a lot of them. I can say right
now here on Fox I'm going to vote for them.
But then there's others, you know, but that We're going
to go through the process. But I'm open to hear
from everyone, and I don't know why that's controversial.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
I mean, I wish that was the way that this
would this would proceed, that we would have more discussions
and dialogues like this and be open minded. I mean, Senator,
you voted for some nominees of other parties before.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Can you speak to that.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
I'm not putting you on the spot for that, but
I'm saying that there should be some yielding to an
incoming administration.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Correct.

Speaker 19 (36:09):
Well, that pretty much used to be the tradition of
the Senate is okay, elections matter. A president should decide
who wants to serve in their cabinet, and as long
as there's nothing disqualifying, you know, you go ahead and
confirm that that nominee. For one thing, you want to
work with those department heads, so you don't want to
start off a relationship and say I'm going to vote
against you. So again, the bias always was, if it's

(36:30):
a qualified individual, elections matter, you'd go ahead, vote for
a confirmation and try and work with that department head
for the benefit of our.

Speaker 13 (36:38):
Constitutions and for the benefit of America.

Speaker 19 (36:40):
I stopped doing that with the bid administration because the
nominees were just wacko radical leftists, and in the end,
you stay I can't support that at all. So it's changed,
It's become very parson and that is unfortunate. But what
Federman's talking about right now is pretty.

Speaker 13 (36:58):
Much the way that the senators are now.

Speaker 19 (37:00):
He's traditionally looked at confirmations and there's been a lot
of by party support for cabinet heads.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
In closing here, Senator, is there any red flags that
you are seeing? From Pete to Tulsi to Bobby Kennedy Cash.
Some senators are saying that all of Trump's nominees seem
poised to be confirmed.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Would you agree with that assessment?

Speaker 19 (37:22):
I think so because the default position, particularly on the
Publican side, is the elections do matter. Trump had a
convincing victory, and it's up to Trump inside who he
wants serving his cabinets. You know, I mean, whether you
like that individual or not, you're not the president he is,
and so our duties pretty much get in line and
go ahead and confirm his nominees, barring some really disqualifying factors.

(37:45):
So I think that's the attitude of most from Publican senators,
and I do expect them to get confirmed.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
I got forty seconds on the clock. What is the
importance of the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Speaker 19 (37:56):
Senator, it's vital anybody who wants to run for president
Republican in twenty twenty eight better help support to our
candidate for the Supreme Court if you want to maintain
a majority in the House. If that court remains liberal,
they will redistrict the federal and will probably lose a

(38:17):
couple of House seats and we may never get the
ten of octor of votes for wisconse again. So it's
absolutely crucial America has to focus on this. Democrats will,
Democrats will send tens of millions of dollars as they
haven't passed in the same support from conservatives and from Republicans.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Senator Johnson, thank you so much, excellent work as always,

What a week of news. So much happening.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
The second hour of this broadcast, we are going to
cover the California fires. I feel as if it's almost
my backyard. I know these homes. I have so much
to share about what's happening in California. But first I
do want to get to.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Some of this other news.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
I didn't get a chance to comment on this yesterday.
We have a whole thing on California next hour, which
is the Meta News with Mark Zuckerberg. The Mark Zuckerberg
news is very big, and I'm not going to chance
to comment on it. For those of you that missed
the program yesterday or do not quite know the news,
Mark Zuckerberg announced sweeping policy changes, saying they're getting rid

(42:18):
of their fact checking department, that this election was about
more speech, not less speech, that they're changing their content
moderation team to go from California to Texas. These are
dramatic changes. And before I get into the details here,
and I've had a chance to sit down with Mark Zuckerberg,
I'm getting to know Mark Zuckerberg. People say, do you
trust them or not. I said, I'm getting to know him.

(42:38):
I found them be very sincere when I sat down
with him, But it's going to be a growing relationship
over these years.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
That I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Basically, Mark and the Facebook team, Joel Kaplan and everybody
who Joel I do know very well to stand up
to the government, to stand up to these regimes and
say no, we are going to protect freedom of speech.
We're going to protect freedom of discourse. Let's play some
pieces of tape here. This is cut fifty one.

Speaker 20 (43:09):
Hey, everyone, I want to talk about something important today
because it's time to get back to our roots around
free expression. On Facebook and Instagram, there's been widespread debate
about potential harms from online content. Governments and legacy media
have pushed to censor more and more. A lot of
this is clearly political, but there's also a lot of
legitimately bad stuff out there. Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation. These

(43:33):
are things that we take very seriously and I want
to make sure that we handle responsibly. So we built
a lot of complex systems to moderate content. But the
problem with complex systems is they make mistakes. And we've
reached a point board to just too many mistakes and
too much censorship. So we're going to get back to
our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies,

(43:55):
and restoring free expression on our platforms.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
We got to give Elon so much credit.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
He took the risk and stood up for freedom of speech,
and this is a movement. Now three years later, we
are going to have the most open Internet that we've
had in a decade. And the trend was a more controlled,
a censored and censored internet. We were going towards totalitarianism online.
And Elon Musk bought Twitter, and because of his purchase

(44:23):
of Twitter, President Trump was then able to win a
triumphant landslide victory. And here we are fast forward three
years later, where you have Facebook sounding like Elon Musk,
and in fact, Mark Zuckerberg went as far to say
in his comments X has it right. We want to
follow more of the model of X and Meta has

(44:45):
made a lot of mistakes, and there has to be
a lot of proof.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
That they are.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Ready to show that this is not just talk, but
this is action. Real follow through accounts restored, no more
fact checking, no more suppression of political posts. You must trust,
but verify and I could tell you this last year.
I mean I said this to the Facebook team. I
said this to Mark. TikTok was way more viral for
us than Instagram this last year. It wasn't even close.

(45:16):
Daisy and the team did a great job running Instagram,
but TikTok was as hot as a pistol. I mean,
TikTok was billions and billions and billions of views. And
one of the reasons why is Facebook made a decision
that they were going to dampen down all political content
this year, that it wasn't it wasn't going to be
as easy for political content to go viral on Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg made his announcement, so sorry, never mind, we're

(45:38):
going to go back. And that's a good thing that
you're going back. They should not be political actors. And
there does need to be some proof that the atonement
for the four hundred million dollars given a Joe Biden
get him elected in twenty twenty that you gotta get
over that. But I can say this is phenomenal development.
Phenomenal Mark Zuckerberg is reading the room, and the trend

(46:02):
is our friend. We should welcome that. By the way,
some people are saying, oh, you know, I don't trust him.
I'm not asking you to trust him. You should welcome
when people come in your direction.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
That is key.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
You should not be bitter or walled off where you say, oh,
you weren't with me, when it's a different thing of
having people in your inner circle, versus saying he's in
control of the biggest platform on the planet. He's saying
something we agree with. He's doing things allegedly that we
agree with. He wants to fight regime censorship around the
world that I applaud And as somebody who has four

(46:37):
million followers on Instagram and a couple million followers on Facebook,
I can tell you that a free and open Facebook
and Meta is very, very good for the cause of
America first and liberty and the cause that we care
about on this program, Email me your thoughts freedom at
Charlie Kirk dot com. The horrific, tragic California fire story
coming up in the second hour.

Speaker 15 (47:17):
Welcome back to this Real Americ His Voice news break
on Terrence Bates. At the moment, President Trump's New York
sentencing scheduled for Friday is still on.

Speaker 10 (47:26):
However, just this morning, his.

Speaker 15 (47:28):
Attorney's petitioned the US Supreme Court to intercede and stop
that sentencing. The move comes after an appeals Court judge
denied the president elect request for an emergency order halting
the hearing. In arguments on Tuesday, President Trump's attorney made
the assertion that President Trump is protected by presidential immunity
as president elect, therefore he shouldn't have to go through

(47:49):
any legal process. Well, it wasn't enough to persuade the
judge to put off Friday's hearing, meaning the soon to
be forty seventh president will answer to his conviction on
thirty four felon accounts of false find business records unless
the Supreme Court steps in over the next twenty four
hours or so. Judge Van Marshan, who will oversee friday sentencing,
has indicated that there will be no jail time. Also,

(48:12):
just into our newsroom, the US Justice Department says it
will release part of Special Counsel Jacksmith's findings on President
Trump's alleged efforts to undo the results of the twenty
twenty presidential election. However, the full investigative report on President
elects hoarding of classified documents at mar A Lago will
remain under wraps for the time being. The Justice Department's
announcement came to light in a filing with a federal

(48:34):
appeals court, which is considering a request from President elect
Donald Trump to block the release of the two volume
report related to him. While charges against the soon to
be forty seventh president have been dropped, the indictment against
two other people charged in the case remain in place. Tuesday,
federal Judge A Lean Cannon temporarily block the release of
the Special Council's report on those classified documents.

Speaker 7 (48:57):
While the Justice Department.

Speaker 15 (48:58):
Says it won't release that report publicly, it will send
a copy to the chairman and ranking members of the
House and Senate Judiciary committees. President and aleg Donald Trump
beginning to meet with Senate and House Republicans today to
ensure that everyone is on the same page when it
comes to President Trump's agenda once he takes office January twentieth.
Much of the conversation is expected to center around spending

(49:21):
on border security or taxes.

Speaker 7 (49:24):
And spending cuts.

Speaker 15 (49:25):
While mister Trump is calling for what he describes as
one big, beautiful bill, other lawmakers want to break the
funding priorities into separate bills. Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison, what SAYE.

Speaker 17 (49:36):
Yeah, I'm going to be meeting with the President this
Friday and along with a group of members, and I
want to convey to him that we want to deliver
on your campaign pledges and your vision for America.

Speaker 10 (49:52):
We have one last opportunity.

Speaker 17 (49:54):
I think this is one of the last, if not
the last, opportunity. We have to turn this ship around
and save this country. And we cannot be soft on
these measures. So I think we need to go big.
We need to have radical spending cuts in order to
save and pull this ship up and back.

Speaker 15 (50:15):
At the US Capital, President Jimmy Carter's casket is in
the rotunda of the Capitol right now as he lies
in state in advance of tomorrow's funeral at Washington National Cathedral. Tuesday,
members of Congress, the Supreme Court, and other dignitaries paid
respects to the country's thirty ninth president. Both House Speaker
Mike Johnson and new Senate Majority Leader John Thune. We're

Everyone I know right.

because he was helping carry all of our things to
our car last night. We got our little kids out.
And here's the sad thing. Is that the kind of
local hardware store which like a famous, many year run
family business, Altina Hardware. We found out this morning that

(55:25):
that burned to the ground. And both of my sons
have worked there, and my son was working there last
night selling you know, emergency supplies to people. And now
that that's gone, so this is just traumatic. I just
walked up two blocks. You can see behind me this
whole neighborhood here above New York Avenue, which is like
a main east west thoroughfare, dividing Alta, Dina and Passina
is completely engulfed.

Speaker 5 (55:46):
I was standing in front.

Speaker 21 (55:47):
Of homes that were just burnt just to the ground,
to the foundation, and it's just absolutely apocalyptic.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
Is the right word?

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Uh, Peachy, I don't want to overly politicize this, but honestly,
we have to go this one party rule. This state
government is controlled by Democrats, the county government is controlled
by Democrats, the city government is controlled by Democrats. That
they are unprepared, they didn't listen to our warnings for years.
We've been telling these people, you guys are there's going
to be a major fire breakout, and the environmentalists are
preventing brush cleanup, and that they're spending money on sending

(56:18):
you know, let's just say, charter flights to Ghana, which
is literally I just got right here. I think the
mayor just took a charter flight to Ghana. The mayor
of Los Angeles is in Ghana right now, not an exaggeration,
and took a charter flight to Ghana.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
They spent they.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Sent there their extra firefighting supplies to Ukraine. Peachy explained
to us the political dynamics here.

Speaker 21 (56:47):
Yeah, apparently Mayor Karen bass Uh defunded the fire, the
LAFD by like something.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
Like twenty million dollars or something.

Speaker 21 (56:56):
You know, we can't even get the homeless junkies which
are literally in passage and now we can't get.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
Them to clumb clean up the tents to get these
people out of there.

Speaker 21 (57:04):
And every year it's always the homeless camps in these
mountains behind me and in the Santa Monica Mountains, they're
the ones who starts the fire.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
I don't know if you remember three or four years.

Speaker 21 (57:12):
Ago bell Air burned down where the four or five
comes through by the Getty Center that almost burned down
because of a homeless encampment right there in that in
that valley. And so it's just these stupid policies. They
don't clear the brush, they're no having no water in
the Pacific in Pacific Palisades, which is one of the
most expensive ZIP codes in the world, is actually like,

(57:36):
that's that's criminal.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
That's attempted murder to be frank, I mean, I mean this,
this is Is it true that they were trying to
get water out of the fire hydrants and there is
no water?

Speaker 1 (57:48):
How does that even happen?

Speaker 21 (57:50):
Yeah, that's what Rick Caruso said he lives in Brentwood,
which I think his daughter in the Palisades lost her home.
And he's the one who ran for mayor in LA
and he was ahead on election. I know, if you
recalled a couple of years ago and then miraculously lo
and behold at one in the morning, Karen Bass squeaked
in a victory ahead of him.

Speaker 5 (58:08):
Oh, I wonder how that happened.

Speaker 21 (58:10):
And so he's really the only guy talking sense here. Yeah,
And he said last night that there was no water in.

Speaker 5 (58:15):
The fire hydrants.

Speaker 21 (58:17):
So the Palsades, you know, entry level starting home, the
palsads by, you know, three four million dollars. So you know,
you expect, like, what do we pay our property taxes
to what?

Speaker 5 (58:25):
We can't go to the schools here? The fire departments.

Speaker 21 (58:27):
Don't have water, Like what exactly, what exactly are we
paying for? It's really hard to justify even paying one
more dollar a property tax.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
I just let's play cut sixty five place. This is
Ri Crusoe, who should have been mayor of La that
did everything to prevent him from becoming.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Play us sixty five.

Speaker 6 (58:48):
My hearts are out obviously to the people with their
homes and I'm watching the small businesses around us go
up and plans. You know, this is people's libraryhoods. So
it's devastating. But what is most concerning to me is
our first responders, in our firefighters who are trying to
battle this. There's no water in the Palatate. There's no

(59:11):
water coming out of the fire hydrants. This is an
absolute mismanagement by the city. Not the firefighter's fault, but
it's by the city. And I'm going to be very honest.
We've got a mayor that's out of the country, and
we've got a city that's burning, and there's no resources
to put out fires. So if you look at your pictures,
you don't see the firefighters there because there's nothing they

(59:33):
can do. And it looks like we're in a third
world country here.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Third world country.

Speaker 21 (59:45):
I mean, you know, usually the fires are like an
encampment under the freeway, and so it's actually hard to
know is something that's burnt out in La actually you
know a fire, or is it just like another junkie,
you know, light his crack pipe or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:00:01):
It's just it's just a travesty.

Speaker 21 (01:00:04):
And I can I keep thinking every year I've lived
for my whole life. One day people are going to
stop voting for these people. One day, you know, they're
going to recall Gavenusom he beat his recall, he got reelected.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
Like, it's just what will it take to wake up
people in Los Angeles? Maybe this is it? Maybe this
is finally it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
I just look at this. This has been for years coming.
We had the Thousand Oaks fires back in twenty twenty,
we had the similar fires in twenty eighteen. This is
not the first time we have seen this sort of fire.
But can you speak really quickly for a minute for
the national audience that doesn't understand the technical nature of
how preventable this could be if they just cleaned up

(01:00:46):
the brush.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Why don't they do that?

Speaker 21 (01:00:50):
Yeah, apparently there's the environmental lobby is so strong and
they don't want you to like hurt you know.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Some chaparral bush.

Speaker 21 (01:00:56):
That's it, you know, endangered or like some endangered lizard.

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
Not allowed to do anything.

Speaker 21 (01:01:01):
You can endanger millions of people's lives and their children
and their businesses, but you can't hurt the like nesting
bround spirrel or whatever it is. But the other thing
is we get these torrential downstorm of rainforest.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
We get these horrible storms once a year.

Speaker 21 (01:01:15):
Of course, we haven't had one yet, not one drop
of rain. Yet we have so much water comes down
into the city, so much water, billions of tons of water,
and it all goes right into the ocean.

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):
It just goes right into the ocean.

Speaker 21 (01:01:27):
And everyone's always wondering, like, why don't they just like build,
you know, big reservoirs. Why can't you capture this water,
have all this water. You could have locally stored water taps.
You could have neighbors fighting their own fires in the
Palisades in Malibu. Malibu's burned down like ten times in
my lifetime, and they've never once organized this. We have
the water, you.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
Know, we live next to an ocean.

Speaker 21 (01:01:48):
But somehow the water that God gives us in.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Rain never quite makes it to the fires.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Trump recommended this year's ago peach. If we can have

need to make sure the Delta smelt is prioritized while

Speaker 15 (01:03:09):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. President elect Donald Trump beginning to meet with
Senate and House Republican leaders today to ensure that everyone
is on the same page when it comes to President
Trump's agenda once he takes office January twentieth. Much of
the conversation is expected to center around spending on border security,
as well as tax and spending cuts. While mister Trump

(01:03:31):
is calling for what he describes as one big, beautiful bill,
other lawmakers want to break the funding priorities into separate bills.

Speaker 13 (01:03:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:03:40):
I'm going to be meeting with the President this Friday
and along with a group of members, and I want
to convey to him that we want to deliver on
your campaign pledges and your vision for America.

Speaker 10 (01:03:56):
We have one last opportunity.

Speaker 17 (01:03:58):
I think this is one of the last, if not
the last opportunity we have to turn this ship around
and save this country. And we cannot be soft on
these measures. So we I think we need to go big.
We need to We need to have radical spending cuts
in order to save and pull this ship up.

Speaker 15 (01:04:18):
That was a Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison, you just heard
from there. That's a quick check of your headlines. I'm
Terrence Bates.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Hey, everybody, welcome back. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.
Another person just texted me, well, I'm gonna put this
image up on screen.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
They're home, just gone. Look.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
I have a lot of friends in the Palisades. We
do a lot of events there. We do a lot
of support. Let's just put that up there, just gone
eliminated and obliterated. Peachy is with us, peache. What can
the federal government do? President Trump in twelve days to intervene?

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Here?

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Has FEMA been called? Why has the National Garden not
been called? I don't know how good they would be,
maybe necessarily at fighting fires, but at least with logistical support.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
What am I missing here?

Speaker 21 (01:05:26):
I mean, maybe FEMA would help this area because these
are Biden voters.

Speaker 5 (01:05:29):
We know they don't.

Speaker 21 (01:05:30):
FEMA doesn't want to help you. If you're a Trump voter,
They're not going to help my house. I mean, I
guess they just have to work on whoever manages these
these these mountains. I mean, these mountains keep burning and
displacing all these people.

Speaker 5 (01:05:41):
But I just want to show you where I am.
I walked up a little bit.

Speaker 21 (01:05:44):
I met Lake Avenue, the main north south thoroughfare of
Pasadena and Atchison, and you can see it's been like
totally blocked off. And behind me is this beautiful church
West Nuster Presbyterian and bind Me is completely blocked black smoke.
All these homes here in Alta Dina along Lake Avenue,
all the businesses are just are just going and.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Honestly, it's like really heartbreaking for me. I've you know,
I have a fam, I know a family.

Speaker 21 (01:06:13):
My friend has ten children, her husband recently died of cancer,
and they live up that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
Street in the beautiful old home and.

Speaker 21 (01:06:19):
That's the only memory all her children have of their
father in that home. And I really have no idea
what's what the fate of her home is. I know
that the family is safe, but so many friends in
this neighborhood don't do not know.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
What's happened to their house.

Speaker 21 (01:06:34):
Another family at our school, their house was spared, but
the neighbor's next door up.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
Here, their their home is gone.

Speaker 21 (01:06:40):
And I'm just seeing fire trucks from all over the
state coming down here.

Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
Thank goodness.

Speaker 21 (01:06:47):
I just I mean up there, just a block ahead
of me, Woodbury, New York is just you know, so
many cops, black smoke billowing.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
From these beautiful old homes and black eyes.

Speaker 21 (01:07:00):
These are not you know, billionaires, these are not celebrities.
These homes are you know, one hundred and twenty year
old craftsman homes. They're so beautiful and families have been
in here for decades and it's just.

Speaker 5 (01:07:12):
A real nightmare.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
There's a lot of chatter, and I'm not sure the
truth of this, the veracity of it that there were
a lot of fire insurance cancelation letters and notices sent recently.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Is that correct?

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
I have no insight into that.

Speaker 21 (01:07:26):
I know that California makes it very difficult to get
homeowner's insurance. You have to if you want earthquake insurance.
It's like so exorbitant that most people don't even bother
with earthquake insurance. And homeowner's insurance is so expensive. I mean,
the cost of living here, as you.

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
Know, is already so high.

Speaker 21 (01:07:46):
I don't know anything about people's policies being canceled. If
that's the case, that feels like the lawsuit ready to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
I've heard. I mean, I've heard that. So I guess
the final take away here just I have to ask,
Actually i'm looking at this, is that church going to
be consumed by the fire?

Speaker 21 (01:08:06):
The neighborhood behind it I think might be in danger
the smoke. This is a couple of blocks north of
it is on fire. I think this church is stone.
This church has been here since you know, nineteen ten probably,
and you know, I think it'll be okay, but up
up the street the dry cleaner that we go to

(01:08:28):
is gone. Luckily none of my husband's shirts were in
the dry cleaner. The hardware, the local hardware store, all
these family businesses that I've been here for decades like
cornerstones of this community.

Speaker 5 (01:08:38):
And it really is a community.

Speaker 21 (01:08:40):
I me, it's a lot of levels, but you know,
these are good people, and it's just I'm just.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Total in total shock.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
Peachey.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
I will be praying for you and thanks you to know
how terrible this is right now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Thank you so.

Speaker 5 (01:08:53):
Much, Thanks Charlie.

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
California has been more focused on under reassignment, surgery for minors,
cash for illegals, high rises for homeless, and fish, then
capturing water to be able to fight fires for their citizens.
What you are seeing on the ground right now in
California is a perfect example as to why President Trump

(01:09:20):
won sending extra fire equipment to Ukraine, chartering flights to Ghana,
and not caring about the well being of your own
people or citizens. It is constantly worried about abstractions abroad
and ignoring the immediate concerns that are facing the American people.

(01:09:44):
Our next guest is doctor Gad sad. Coming up in
the next segment, we're going to be talking about suicidal empathy.
It ties into all of this. This is a major
public policy disaster. And for people in California that have
been voting for Democrats, this is what you get. You
get mismanaged government, you get woke fire departments. I mean,

(01:10:08):
right now, one of our team members just texted me saying,
I don't even know what to do. Their entire house
SISCNS is gone. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com
will be right back.

Speaker 15 (01:10:29):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice News breakout. Terrence Bates.
Tens of thousands of people in the Los Angeles area
are out of their homes right now as a handful
of wildfires are eating through real estate in that area.
Thirty thousand people have been told to evacuate, many more
leaving willingly. Santa Ana winds blowing at speeds at about

(01:10:49):
sixty miles an hour right now, and they're fueling the
various fires and keeping firefighters busy around the clock.

Speaker 18 (01:10:56):
At the bottom of the canyon, there was cars piled
on top of each other.

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
There was boulders at a debris that fell.

Speaker 18 (01:11:04):
Off off the Canyon that was on fire, that was
in the middle of the road where people had to
abandon their cars. I know people that live in that
Gata community right there on Sunset and Palisa Circle that
was on fire. The hillside was on fire, and it's
actually the hillside, the hillside behind my house.

Speaker 15 (01:11:25):
The fires are burning in exclusive areas around LA, like Malibu,
as well as the Pacific Palisades. It's such a dire
situation that the Los Angeles Fire Department is asking off
duty firefighters to help out. In fact, the LAPD and
fire officials there in Los Angeles saying this fire is
zero percent contained at the moment. Also, we are just
learning that at least two people are dead as a result.

(01:11:48):
President Biden has also been forced to cancel a trip
to Riverside County there in California, where he was set
to announce the establishment of two new national monuments.

Speaker 7 (01:11:57):
They're in the Golden State.

Speaker 10 (01:12:00):
Just into our newsroom.

Speaker 15 (01:12:01):
The US Justice Department says it will release part of
Special Counsel Jacksmith's findings on President Trump's alleged efforts to
undo the results of the twenty twenty presidential election.

Speaker 10 (01:12:11):
However, the full.

Speaker 15 (01:12:12):
Investigative report on the president elect hoarding of classified documents
of mar A Lago will remain under wraps for the
time being. The Justice Department's announcement came to light in
a filing with the Federal Appeals Court, which is considering
a request from the President elect to block the release
of the two volume report related to him. While charges

(01:12:33):
against the soon to be forty seventh president will soon
or have been dropped, the indictment itself against two other
people charging the case remains in place. Tuesday, Federal Judge
Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the release of the Special Council's
report on the classified documents case. While the Justice Department
says it won't release that report publicly, it will send
a copy to the chairman and ranking members of the

(01:12:54):
House and Senate Judiciary committees.

Speaker 7 (01:12:57):
That's a quick check of your heads.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):

(01:14:39):
gonna say this just off the coff before I introduce
our guest. Can we please just go away with half
the screen during these emergency briefings to the sign language interpreters.
I have nothing against obviously people that cannot hear, but
there's close captioning. I mean, this is just over the top.
We can't do this. We've got to get back to

(01:15:01):
how it used to be. It's just, oh, it's just
too much. It's a distractions.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
What it is?

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
The reason is they do these emergency briefings for fires
or terrorist attacks and you're looking at this and you're
not listening.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
I don't like it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
So we got we just got a close captionings perfectly fine.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
I think I think we have to. We got to
get back to basics.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
Here join us now now is doctor Gad Sad. We're
here to talk about suicidal empathy. Doctor Sad?

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
What is that? And welcome to the program.

Speaker 7 (01:15:29):
Oh great to be with you. Have you recovered from
seeing me in the red velvet suit at mar Lago?

Speaker 19 (01:15:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
I have it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:36):
It traumatized me for a day, but I have sufficiently recovered.

Speaker 7 (01:15:40):
All right, So suicidal empathy is the following charty. Empathy
is a great thing, but like most things in life,
it has to be deployed to the right targets and
the right amount at the right place right. Aristotle already
knew this many thousands of years ago. So to be
empathetic is certainly a virtue that you know, we should applaud.

(01:16:03):
But to be orgiastically empathetic. So, for example, American vets
are less worthy of our empathy than illegal immigrants who
are MS thirteen gang members, transgender folks who want to
play in women's sports who are biological males. Empathizing with

(01:16:25):
them is more important than the hundreds of women who
will lose a spot on the podium. So suicidal empathy
is the misfiring of an otherwise adaptive emotion.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
So how does that apply in our politics? Give us
more and more examples of how that manifests in our politics.

Speaker 7 (01:16:46):
Orgiastic open borders is due to suicidal empathy. Choosing to
never criticize Islam because it might marginalize the noble, peaceful
Muslims that live next to me is a case of
soil empathy. Arguing that all immigrants are equal and hence
I mean yes, they're equal in the sense that they're

(01:17:07):
equal under the law, but they're not equally likely to
assimilate and internalize Western values. There's nothing racist or bigoted
about that, right. My housecat is a feeline. So is
the wild lion in the savannah jungle. They're both feeline.
One of them wants me to pet it, the other
one wants to eat me for lunch. And so I'm

(01:17:28):
not bigoted against cats because I recognize that a lion
is not the same thing as fid oh my cat.
And so criminality, how we navigate through the penal system,
is a case of suicidal empathy. Why don't we give
the noble criminal an eighty seventh chance. He's already been

(01:17:49):
criminalized by white patriarchy. If we now put him in prison,
we're double whammying him. And so every lunatic public policy
that you could think that is truly insane ultimately is
rooted in the reflex of suicidal and misguided empathy.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
So how then do we fight back against suicidal empathy?
And it seems more applicable. The West decided to not
commit suicide politically this last November, and we've actually decided
to choose life.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
Your thoughts professor.

Speaker 7 (01:18:27):
Yeah, so I look, I'm as you are. Of course
I am elated that Donald Trump one, but I keep
warning people, please don't be complacent. The fact that he
won doesn't mean that all of the parasitic ideas, all
of the suicidal empathy magically is eradicated. Right. It took
fifty to one hundred years for each of these disastrous

(01:18:49):
ideas and these misguided emotional responses to proliferate through every
nuken cranny of society. So it's going to take more
than us the four years of Donald Trump for us
to win the battle. So yes, let's rejoice that he won,
and the opposite would have been the alternative would have

(01:19:10):
been a disaster. But it doesn't end here. A lot
more work needs to be done.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
Yeah, and so how then do we fighting? I mean,
I know you have an upcoming book around these kind
of themes. What are the one, two, three bullet points?
Because if there was a through line as to why
the West is collapsing, suicidal empathy could be one of
the main reasons.

Speaker 7 (01:19:30):
Why. Yeah, Well, it's to remind people that orgiastic, unadulterated
empathy is not a virtue, right, like most things in life,
we've evolved the capacity to discriminate between people. I'm more
likely to jump in front of a moving bus to

(01:19:53):
save my biological children than i am to save a
random child in Namibia. That's not because callous, that's not
because I'm sinister. It's because I've evolved the emotional system
that allows me to met out my investments in a
way that makes evolutionary sense. And so we need to
remind people that it is perfectly reasonable to care more

(01:20:17):
about your country than to care about a country that's
two thousand miles away, to care more about your children
than about some poorly mistreated child in Waziristan. Again, that
doesn't mean that we should never met out empathy and
kindness to strangers, but it means that it has to
be better regulated. And so the quicker we can remind

(01:20:40):
people that it is perfectly reasonable, for example, to be
patriotic to love your family first, the quicker we can
eradicate this reflex of suicidal empathy.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Do you have any idea of an author or a
thinker as to where this came from? If there was
a culprit where the first or second initiation points for
where this originated.

Speaker 7 (01:21:05):
So I think it originally started with the parasitic ideas. Right,
so you know, all cultures are equal, who are you
to judge other cultures? But of course our own culture
is not equal in that it's inferior, right, the West
is inferior to the noble afghanis right. And what that does,
then is it creates a sense of what I argue

(01:21:27):
in the book in the forthcoming book, a sense of
survivor guilt. So let me let me expand on this idea.
If you're in a plane crash, God forbid, and in
your role, everybody dies except you. At first you're elated,
thank God I survived, But then you might go through
a ruminative period where there is a constant intrusive thought

(01:21:48):
in your mind, why did I deserve to live while
all those perfectly lovely people survive. Well, I argue that
the West suffers from this kind of survivor guild. But
at the collective level, why was I born in the
West and therefore I've got all these privileges, whereas these
poor people in Waziristan don't have my ability to thrive

(01:22:10):
and flourish. And so there is several roots of the
genesis for where that comes from, but it all originates
from those parasitic ideas. That's why my first book, Parasitic Mind,
was about what happens to our cognitive system when it
is zombified, and then the next book is what happens
to our emotional system when it becomes zomba fied. If

(01:22:32):
our cognitive system is zombified and then our emotional system
is zombi fid. Here we go to the abyss of
infinite lunacy.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
So let's let's try to contemporize this. We're seeing right now,
what's happening with the United Kingdom grooming gangs. You're not
allowed to speak out against Islamic rape gangs in the
United Kingdom because you might offend the Mohammedans, that the
Mohammedans might sue you in court, and the Mohammedans might

(01:23:03):
come after you. Is this an example of suicidal empathy.

Speaker 7 (01:23:07):
It's a prime example. It is front end central in
my next book, and so in my books socato empathy. Right,
So think, let me draw an analogy for your chartie
from evolutionary psychology. The number one predictor of child abuse
in a home. I don't know if you've ever heard
me mention this. If you haven't, can I ask you
to guess without putting you on the spot. Can you

(01:23:28):
guess what is the number one predictor of child abuse
in a home?

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
Religion?

Speaker 7 (01:23:36):
No, no, not part. If there is a step parent
in the house, there is a hundred fold.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
Meaning what religion they have. But yes, so go ahead,
But just to be clear, I got.

Speaker 7 (01:23:46):
You, yeh, yeah, you know, I got it. So if
there is a step parent in the house, there's one
hundredfold increase of there being a child abuse in that home. Now,
me saying that, which is an absolute, incontrovertible fact, doesn't
take away from the fact that most step parents are

(01:24:06):
perfectly lovely and are not abusers. Right, Both those statements
hold true. What happens in the British grooming gangs is
the minute that you say that there is an epidemiological
reality whereby Pakistani Muslims are the primary perpetrators of those crimes.
Then someone comes along and says, yes, but my uncle
Ahmad is a lovely guy and he would never rape

(01:24:29):
a child.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:24:30):
That is that suicidal empathy reflex, which is upon hearing
something that might marginalize the noble Muslims please shut that
information down. So, yes, that is a perfect example of suicidal.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
Empathy, Doctor Sad.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
I want to also just speak more broadly about how
the West is starting the pushback against it. Are you
seeing more and more of a movement for people to be.

Speaker 1 (01:24:58):
Let's just say.

Speaker 3 (01:25:01):
Oppositional to this, I suppose that actually is a better question.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
What is the opposite of suicidal empathy.

Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
Well regulated empathy? Right, so let me give you another
example that I think we'll drive that point home. OCD,
obsessive compulsive disorder, is a psychiatric dysfunction. Right, I will
spend eight hours washing my hands and scolding hot water
until my skin falls off, and then I don't get

(01:25:30):
to work, and then I get fired. It's a dysfunction.
But the root of OCD is rooted in an actually adaptive, evolutionary,
sensible mechanism, which is, it makes evolutionary sense for us
to scan the environment for potential threats. So if you
and I meet Charlie, and I noticed that a second
ago you sneezed into your hand, and then you put

(01:25:53):
out your hand to shake mine, I might WinCE at
the possibility of shaking your hand, precisely because I might
get your cold or your bronchitis or whatever it is right,
and therefore it makes evolutionary sense for me to be
scanning the world for environmental threads. The problem becomes when
that warning flag misfires. It becomes hyperactive. So I checked

(01:26:16):
that the back door is closed, but then I'm stuck
there for the next four hours checking that the door
is closed. While this is the same idea with empathy, Yes,
be empathetic, but not orgiastically so right like life is
about regulation, it's about having the right amount in the
right place to the right people. So yes, empathy is

(01:26:38):
good within normal ranges.

(01:28:42):
to tell you about Z factor. I don't need to
tell you how important a good night's sleep is for
your body, your mind, or your whole outlook on life.
I was up for thirty five hours straight when I
went to Greenland.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
It was tough. I can tell you though.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
If you're like most people, sometimes you just can't follow
a sleep or you wake up during the night. That's
why I want to tell you about Z Factor Z

Continue with us, as doctor Gad said, Doctor said, I
would imagine you're a professor that most professors are proponents
of suicidal empathy.

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:29:57):
Of course, big time. I mean, and all of them
were in mourning when the ultra empathetic Justin Trudeau resigned recently. Right,
all of them were big champions of his because he
was so kind, he was so warm, he was about
land acknowledgments, he was about diversity, inclusion and equity. He's

(01:30:18):
about indigenous knowledge instead of you know, the white supremacy
scientific methods. So of course they are, you know, stricken
with suicidal empathy. Now I should say to your earlier
point that there is a bit of a pushback. I'm
happy to report to your audience, Charlie, that I'm now
receiving a growing number of emails from academics who are saying,

(01:30:42):
wink wink, I'm on your side much more than I
have in the past. So maybe they're waking up, so
we can be at least a bit optimistic.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
I would hope.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
So, so you're at Northwood University now in Michigan, in
this country, I really believe that we're entering a new
era of American dominance and strength prosperity.

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Do you agree with that, doctor said.

Speaker 7 (01:31:08):
I do. I do. Look, life, as you know, is
full of cycles, down cycles, up cycles. I'd like to
think that what we're seeing now, this kind of new renaissance,
this new optimism, is not just a little bleap of
a Donald Trump positive outlier, but rather he started the
train onto a new renaissance period. So I'd like to

(01:31:31):
think that you're absolutely right. We went through a very
difficult period. And I say we, I don't mean just
the United States, I mean Canada, I mean the West.
But hopefully things are definitely turning around for the better.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
Today, doctor said, please plug your books or the way
that our audience can support you.

Speaker 7 (01:31:47):
The parasitic mind, the sad truth about happiness. And I
am feverishly working on suicidal empathy every day, every minute,
every hour. Hopefully it should be out in the next
few months.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Thank you, Thank you, doctor Sad really appreciate it.

Speaker 13 (01:32:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:32:03):
Jures, take carebout life.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):

I just get in text messages of the fires that
are ongoing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
By the way, the way that they.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
Actually construct houses in southern California. They have to use
noncombustible materials to the best of their ability. I know
it's not totally possible, but this has to set all
new building standards.

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
It's bad for everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
And when they have these billions of tons of rain water,
why can't they capture them, as Peachey said, and put
them in a reservoir. Florida is a perfect example by
the way of adjusting and adapting to one's environment. They
build for hurricanes. Why does California not do the same?
That is a question that does not have a good answer.

(01:32:42):
Why does California do x It's a very very difficult
question to answer. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com

Breaking news right now while we're live on air.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
Biden has now announced five hundred million dollars to be
sent to Ukraine for military aid. Five hundred million dollars.
You know who'd use five hundred million dollars. The people
of southern California could use five hundred million dollars. But
Joe Biden hates the citizen of this country. He always has,
and it's going to change. In eleven days and twenty
two hours and eleven days and twenty two hours, a

(01:33:25):
new movement will take control of the United States government.
By by the way, where is FEMA. I'm sure there's
some federal government response here. But Joe Biden didn't care
about western North Carolina, he didn't care about the people
of Georgia, he didn't care about flooding. It's all just
a very big annoyance to him. When eleven days it changes,
We're going to take back this country and we are

(01:33:46):
going to hit the ground running executive orders, pardons, clemency,
ending wars, prosperity, drill baby drill, getting rid of inflation.
We're going to do it all. We just got to
hang on for the next eleven days and twenty two hours.
