Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
The Charlie kirkshow starts.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Now, we're getting word that Israel's launching preemptive airstrikes against Iran.
Explosions were reported in Tehran, the capitol, which would be
a big escalation in the war in the Middle East.
Axios is reporting that Israel is also bracing for a
retaliatory strike, Israel's declaring a special state of emergency across
the country. Axios had also reported that Trump had refused

(00:43):
US participation.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
We were conducting a press conference to update everyone on
the enforcement actions that are ongoing to bring peace in
the city of Los Angeles, and this man burst into
the room, started launching towards the podium, interrupting me and
elevating his voice, and did not identify himself and was
removed from the room. So as soon as he identified himself,

(01:06):
you know, appropriate actions were taken.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
The courts have ruled on the Guard. They will be
back under my command, and he'll be relieved Donald Trump.
We're believed of his command at noon tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Right now, everything remains as is. The National Guard can't
stay there at least through the next hearing on the case,
which is Tuesday. So right now there's been a temporary pause.

Speaker 6 (01:30):
So the judges like, I need more information that he
has not said, you're right, you're wrong, right, And.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
The appeals court says, hold on, let the National Guard
proceed for now. We've got more legal back and forth
to take there.

Speaker 7 (01:41):
But I'm always looking for sort of kernels of information
about how the judicial branch is thinking.

Speaker 8 (01:45):
Looking to the upcoming festival parade, we're preparing for an
enormous turnout, hundreds of thousands of attendees. Is our duty
to ensure the safety and security of every participant. We
are deploying thousands of agents, officers, and specialists from across
the country, backed by the robust network of veederal, state,
and local partners. Our mission is not just to secure

(02:07):
an event, but to ensure public confidence and safety.

Speaker 9 (02:10):
For those people that want to protest, They're going to
be met with a very big force, and I haven't
even heard about a protest.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
They took out most of Iran's air defense systems, so
it is much easier for Israel to strike than it was, say.

Speaker 10 (02:22):
Six months ago.

Speaker 9 (02:23):
So what is the concern if say they get ninety
percent of the targets eliminated and then the Iranians just
ramp up the nuclear program as fast as possible in order.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
To acquire a nuclear weapon to have at that point,
How long do we think it would take for Iran
to do that well.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
The assessment by Israel and others within the national security
establishment here in the United States is that Iran had
enough officile material to be days away from creating a
simple bomb, if you will, Maybe not a sophisticated weapon,
but they certainly have enough and they can cross that

(03:04):
threshold very quickly and very easily.

Speaker 11 (03:06):
As we speak.

Speaker 12 (03:07):
A significant development and an indication that the Israelis are
planning to continuously strike Iranian nuclear facilities to the best
of their ability stop the Iranian nuclear program that has
been expanding.

Speaker 13 (03:22):
Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, targeted military operations
to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival.
This operation would continue for as many days as it
takes to remove this threat. Kuran has produced enough highly
enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months,

(03:46):
Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before,
steps to weaponize this enriched you in. If not stopped,
Huron could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.
It could be a year, it could be within a
few months less than as.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
At Turning Point USA.

Speaker 14 (04:03):
What we are doing every single day, we are dedicating
ourselves at our staff and our students and our activist
for a full revival of America.

Speaker 15 (04:12):

the largest student event in the nation, SAS is back
joined thousands of fellow students ready to pioneer a Bodo
era for America at our Student Action Sunder and we're
bringing in the biggest voices in the movement, featuring Charlie Kirk,

Speaker 16 (05:02):
Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information
coming from every angle.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Put the will to the seef fear not.

Speaker 16 (05:10):
You found the place for truth, the voice of a
generation that still has the will to believe in the
greatest country.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
In the history of the world.

Speaker 16 (05:18):
This is the Charlie Kirk Show.

Speaker 14 (05:21):
Fuck a lot, here we go a lot, Okay, everybody
radio stations across the country. Here at the Bitcoin dot
Com studio here in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. Tonight our Young
Women's Leadership Summit begins and we are very excited to
be hosting young women from all across America. You could

(05:41):
still attend. It's why to w Les twenty twenty five
dot com. That's why to Less twenty twenty five dot com.
We saw this happening in real time yesterday. The news
heard around the world. We were live streaming last night.
And it's important in times like this, in situations that
involve war and kinetic conflict, to report the facts and

(06:03):
to stay calm, collected, with a lot of precision, not
to get too excited, not to get involved in hyperbole,
or measure be very measured in your reporting. In fact,
I believe you the audience, that's why you keep on
tuning in.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Right now.

Speaker 14 (06:17):
We are the number one conservative podcast in Apple News
because we did a late night stream all about the
Israeli strikes on Iran, and you can count that this
program will have a pro civilization, pro American view on
all these things, and we're going to tell it like
it is.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
We're going to report all the facts that exactly what
has happened.

Speaker 14 (06:36):
So what occurred, Well, so Israel hit over one hundred
targets against Iran, and as I am talking right now,
it's continuing.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
The bombing campaign is continuing.

Speaker 14 (06:46):
Here's what is still remarkable is that Israel was involved
in a little bit of a deception campaign. Totally legitimate.
There's not often wrong with deceiving your enemy. Israel said, oh,
nowo's going to go to a wedding and we're going
to try to you know, try to slow walk, and
we might go to DC and you know, have some

(07:06):
talks and some diplomacy. And amazingly Iran let its guard down.
Israel was able to infiltrate the inner circle of the
Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They were able to infiltrate the top
levels of the IRGC. And we're gonna learn a lot

(07:28):
more of what happened in the days and weeks of
exactly what has happened. But this was not merely just
a bombing attack against Iran's nuclear facilities. It was a
decapitation strike against the entire Iranian military. They took out
Mohmmad Bagari, the chief of the Iranian Chief of Staff
General Staff, the head of their military. That is like

(07:51):
the equivalent of taking out Jade Vance and Susie Wiles.
They took out Hassain Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran's
Revolutionary Guard. They also hit the following targets. The capitol
in Tehran, knots where Iran in rinches, uranium, Tabrice where
explosions have been reported, near a nuclear research center, and

(08:13):
two military basis Kurmasha. I'm butchering these pronunciations, but whatever
west of Tehran where an underground facility storing ballistic missiles
was hit near the Iraqi border, plus other major cities
like Isafahan and Iraq. A rock Aarak, well, not a
rock yet the country. Iran's air defenses appear to have

(08:36):
been totally compromised, offering no resistance at all to Israeli
air strikes and to the knowledge that we have right now,
and again this could change at any moment. It looks
as if not a single Israeli aircraft has been shot down. Again,
it's the fog of war, so we do not know yet,
but we don't have any reports of any Israeli aircraft

(08:59):
that has yet been taken down. Israel was apparently able
to execute execute some stunning infiltrations, such as smuggling explosive
explosives directly into Iran in advance of the strike. Regardless
of your opinion of Israel, even if you hate Israel

(09:20):
to your core, you have to have remarkable respect for
Masad and their military for what they were able to
pull off. Here understand that Iran knew this was coming,
and with not getting into too many details, we knew
this was coming. In fact, I was talking to Blake
and Andrew and I'm like, guys, unless my sources are

(09:42):
totally wrong, in about two hours, Iran is about to
get lit up like a Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
So I knew it was coming.

Speaker 14 (09:51):
A lot of other reporters I was talking to knew
it was coming, and Iran still was infiltrated. Because it
seems as if that Israel was able to infiltrate at
such the highest levels of the Iranian government, they use
the looming attack as a way to gather all of
these senior Iranian officials together to then strike them. Remember,

(10:15):
we moved out all diplomatic and non essential staff. This
was somewhat of a deception surprise attack, but this was
the longest wind up here. It comes here, it comes here,
it comes, and it does beg the question is Iran
a paper tiger? And we'll explore that later, which is wait,

(10:35):
we're I understand that the intel shows that they were
close to a nuclear weapon, but there's a little bit
of a contradiction here of if they really don't have
any air defense systems and they're this foolish and kind
of a third world country, it really makes you wonder,
like how sophisticated a threat this actually is. However, it's happening,

(10:56):
and Israel is a sovereign country and they made and
you have to just say this, they made an incredibly
ballsy move with a lot of hutzpa. Took a lot
of hutzpa for them to do this, and we're going
to find out in the next couple days and weeks
and months the ramifications of that, especially from a pro
American standpoint, which I want to get into. But they
also killed some of the nuclear scientists. That's five point

(11:18):
sixty four.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
You know.

Speaker 14 (11:20):
By the way, if you want to just have entertainment,
watch this show of me trying to pronounce these ridiculous
Persian names.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Fara dune a Bassi.

Speaker 14 (11:28):
I think I got that one, Mohammad Meddi Tarajanani, the
physicist and president of the Islamic Azad University in Tehran.
The Israeli operation was not just airstrikes. The Israeli Masad
intelligence service has operatives on the ground conducting covert sabotage
operations on missile and air defense sites and it's ongoing.

(11:49):
Israel right now has complete command over the heir of
a run. No one really could have anticipated that. No
one could have predicted it. This is why no planes
have been shot down and bibing at Yahoo and the
Israeli government, they're basically having and all you can eat
buffet in Iran and these They've had these targets basically

(12:10):
in their tickler file for quite some time. They've had
these targets like, hey, here they are all over Iran
for quite some time, and they're like, why are we
going to stop now?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
We're just gonna keep on going.

Speaker 14 (12:20):
They have all they This is a dream for Israel
in the sense where they for quite some time would
would love to have been able just to fly over
Irani in airspace with no opposition whatsoever five point sixty two,
which I think is a very important picture. Yes, some
residential buildings were struck, but that's some pretty remarkable precision.

(12:41):
This visual is something. And on podcasting in radio you
just have to take pause and be like, that's as
good and as sophisticated as a military that I think
you'll ever see. So here you have for those that
you can't see. And on podcasting in radio, a high
rise residential building in Tehran where the neighbors above and
the neighbors below literally they are able to either through

(13:01):
a drone or through a fighter jet, have a precision
missile go to what is that, like the eighth floor,
but not the ninth floor and not the seventh floor.
And they decided not to take down the entire building.
And I do think that as a necessary picture where
the stereotype and the prejudice against Israel is that, oh,
they take down residential buildings just for fun and to

(13:22):
go after civilians. I think that picture is a very
important picture that I hope is included in the national
and international narrative that Israel actually decided not to take
down that entire residential building because that would have been
a narrative collapse alongside an apartment collapse, because if they
would have taken down the entire building, first of all,

(13:42):
innocent people would have unnecessarily died, and I'm sure some
people did.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I mean, you can't.

Speaker 14 (13:47):
Maybe the missile would have continued into another apartment building. However,
it looks as if the apartments above and below are
largely still intact. We don't know all the details associated
to it, but Israel very well could have collapsed the
entire building and they could have said, hey, you know,
these are command and control centers, what's the big deal.
That's another picture that shows that the apartments kind of
above and below are.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Kind of untouched.

Speaker 14 (14:09):
And part of this also is that Israel strategy here
is they know that many of the everyday rank and
file Persians hate the Iranian regime. They hate the Iranian regime,
and they don't want to try to turn the Iranian
people against Israel unnecessarily. They're trying to fight a war
of liberation, a very risky war, and I want to
just make sure that's very clear. And this fog awards

(14:31):
easy to get caught up in the over emphasis on
the military action.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I do want.

Speaker 14 (14:37):
We're going to talk about this from an American standpoint,
from where does the base stand on this? Israel has
a right to do what they want to do. There's
a risk reward calculus. We'll talk about that in just
a second. Good Ranchers dot Com. By the time the
show ends, American family farms will be shut down, not
because they stopped working hard, but because most grocery store
meat doesn't come from anymore. Over eighty five percent of

(15:00):
grass fed beef sold in the US stores is imported,
and most people have no idea. That's why I get
all my meat from Good Ranchers dot com. Good Ranchers
doesn't just sell me, they guide you back to the source.
All Good Ranchers products are one hundred percent born, raised,
and harvested in America from local family farms. I love
Good Ranchers. They're terrific people. The spells who run Good

Whyrefi dot com be right back? Okay, everybody, welcome back.

(17:26):
Email us is always freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com.
So that's a little bit of the analysis of the
what has happened, and we're here at the Bitcoin dot
Com studio. Now I want to spend a little bit
of time from an American standpoint and also from a
conservative movement standpoint and kind of where the base stands.
But here is where we stand right now. Right now,
Iran is getting blown up, and currently America has faced

(17:48):
zero blowback or any consequences, and Israel's operation against Iran
has been far more successful as of right now than
anyone could have dreamed. No one could have dreamed that
they're taking the entire core of the Iranian military, not
to mention, bombing after bombing of nuclear reactors and airports

(18:10):
and military sites, and in some ways, for many people
in this audience and also for those of us that
want to see civilization succeed, this is very satisfying to watch.
But we must also caution you, and the Iraq War
and the Afghanistan war show us that it might not
necessarily continue that way. The first weeks of the afghan

(18:32):
and the Iraq war looked incredibly easy. Remember shakan Aw
Shakanaw was, you know, looked like Wow, there is no
situation that we can't handle. Iraq will bend to our will.
And for those of us that are America first but
also are very sympathetic to Israel, this has always been
our cautionary tale, which is that war is far more complicated.

(18:54):
Military strikes are usually much murkier and complicate that it
might seem on TV. Our generation especially and the base
of the Republican Party.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
We have never seen a triumphant.

Speaker 14 (19:09):
Declarative military victory, and I hope everybody in the audience
understands that everybody in MAGA that says, you know, keep
the strikes going, and I totally get it. I see
it from that perspective, but also understand that the base
of MAGA has never seen the declarative victory. And I
can tell you right now our magabase does not want
a war at all whatsoever. They do not want us involvement.

(19:34):
They do not want the United States to be engaged
in this. And let's just go five sixty nine. This
is a picture of the Iraq Shakanaw bombing. You might
remember it felt as if we were going to steamroll
a rack, and this would be like a two month
operation similar to the Persian Gulf War back in nineteen
ninety one. But the Middle East has a tendency to

(19:54):
draw you in. It is the land of sand and death.
As President Trump would say, the last major war that
America clearly and definitively won is the Gulf War, and
even that led to the Second Iraq War. Before that,
it was World War Two, and the Korean War, you
could argue, had some real good upside with the creation
of South Korea. Wars are not profitable endeavors. And even

(20:18):
from a pro Israel standpoint, Israel does not benefit from
long conflicts or long wars. The short of the conflict
the better it has always been for Israel. That's why
they prefer deceptive, immediate and violent action. We as conservatives
must be very morally clear as to what side we

(20:40):
are on, but we must resist the siren song of
displacing dictators and lands we do not understand, and we
have no business running. And I just want to have
a cautionary tale because it can feel very good and
seem very good, and an objectively can be good. When
I see a picture of that apartment building, kind of
just have awe and I'm like, man, I struggle to

(21:05):
like install my TV. I need someone to help me
set up the WiFi, Like Mikey, get in here, set
up the Wi Fi. I mean, what they do in
the tech room is like the most impressive thing. They
got guests, and they got Zoom, and they got different televisions,
and they got audio stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
And look at this.

Speaker 14 (21:23):
They're sending missiles to the eighth floor, but not the
ninth floor or the seventh floor. I mean, I marvel
at that, and you should too. However, Iran does have
a conventional military. They are a proud and they are
a big country. Persia was once a great power. They
have a memory, a very serious memory, of being respected,

(21:47):
and this was a humiliation. This was an absolute humiliation
of the Iranian regime in Molas, and it is continuing.
Iran could say that they're going to just go march
nine hundred thousand troops into Iraq. The Iranian play is there.
The worst possible case scenario is Iran says, Okay, you

(22:07):
humiliated us, you killed all of our leaders. We're going
to go make this a regional mess and try to
get as many people involved as possible. They're going to
go after Americans, They're going to go after Saudies, They're
going to go after everybody imaginable, just to create a
big mess and to try to draw the world into it.
Because understand, the Iranian people are widely respected and not

(22:29):
necessarily are always in sync with leadership. But if and
when the people of Iran feel like Persia is being
defaced and humiliated and disrespected, we don't know where that
is going to go. And that's my final reason why
I am always skeptical of military intervention. And when a
lot of the sometimes warmongering wing gets too excited.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
You don't know.

Speaker 14 (22:52):
Actually, you need to have a lot of humility. You
do not know how things are going to work out.
It is impossible. You could try to predict it, you
could pray, you can hope. But when you start saying
things will guarantee happen like in Libya, oh overthrowing the
regime will be easy, and then everything after was a disaster.
Some humility is necessary in these moments.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 11 (23:22):
I'm Bo Davidson with your Real America's Voice. News headlines.
Israel and Iran both launched strikes at each other. Israel
launched strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile factories, and military commanders,
and even nuclear scientists. Iranian state media claims that the
leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed in
the strikes. Shortly thereafter, Iran launched retaliatory strikes against Israel,

(23:45):
which Israel has been intercepting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
made a statement saying tonight Israel took unilateral action against Iran.
We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our
top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel
advised US that they believe this action was necessary for
its self defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken

(24:06):
all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in
close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear,
Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Meanwhile, California
Senator Alex Padilla was removed from a press conference held
by DHS Secretary Christy Noam. Let's take a look.

Speaker 10 (24:24):
I'm not Senator Alex.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
I have questions for the secretary because the fact of
the matter.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
Is half a dozen selling criminals that you're on your
on your.

Speaker 14 (24:38):
Course now many of our I says, have been docked.

Speaker 11 (24:41):
For being their beauty. Probably and shortly thereafter, this is
what happened outside the room.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Take a look.

Speaker 17 (24:49):
Hands on your back, Hands on your back good, I'm
behind my back all right?

Speaker 18 (24:54):
Cool in hand la Lee flatt lee flat other answer,
other hand.

Speaker 19 (25:06):
There was no recording loud out here.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
I did not loud here right.

Speaker 11 (25:13):
In a related story, overnight, an appeals judge ruled the
Trump administration can keep the National Guard troops and Marines
in Los Angeles deployed for now. This was after an
initial ruling, saying Trump could not do this. Meanwhile, prior
to Israel strike on Iran, the State Department ordered the
departure of non essential personnel from its embassy in Baghdad
due to increased security risks. The State Department said President

(25:36):
Trump is committed to keeping Americans safe both at home
and abroad, and keeping with that commitment, we are constantly
assessing the appropriate personnel posture at all our embassies. Based
on our latest analysis, we decided to reduce our mission
in Iraq. Those are your headlines. Let's head back now
to the Charlie Kirk Show.

Speaker 14 (25:56):
Large History Happened, Make some Charlie Kirkshow Welcome back, everybody.
I want to tell you guys about we have a
video that just went super viral on TikTok last night,
all around Israel strikes against Iran. We're very popular and
very viral on TikTok's one of the reasons why we're
able to reach the next generation and American small businesses
rely on TikTok to succeed, helping them attract more customers

(26:19):
and drive more growth from small backedsellers to fast growing brands.
Seventy four percent of businesses on TikTok say it's helped
them scale by hiring more employees, boosting sales, and expanding
new locations, like Arizona Taco King, who grew from a
mom and pop taco kart to two thriving restaurants. With TikTok,
small businesses are thriving, finding their customers and expanding. Learn

(26:40):
more about TikTok's economic contribution at TikTok economic impact dot com.
That's TikTok Economic impact dot com. Portions of our program
are brought to you in part by TikTok economic impact
dot Com. In a second, I want to bring Josh Hammer,
who's actually here live from Israel, and I hope he
is near a bunker, and I hope he is near
a shelter. And I don't say that lightly because Israel

(27:00):
is going to likely respond. Israel's going to receive a
huge response from Ron.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I just want to finish one final thought though.

Speaker 14 (27:08):
The Iranian people are the opportunity, not the enemy here.
But I can say concretely, here's where I stand and
where the Magabase stands. We do not want US boots
on the ground, We do not want American kinetic involvement
this is Israel's war, this is Israel's self determination in play.
And with that we welcome Josh Hammer from Newsweek. Great

(27:30):
man and very clear thinker, host of The Josh Hammer
Show and author of Israel and Civilization. So, Josh, I
mean I have to ask the kind of elephant in
the room. How many paces? How many steps are you
from a bomb shelter? God forbid you have to go there.

Speaker 20 (27:45):
Yeah, I'm laughing, but I probably shouldn't be laughing.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Charlie.

Speaker 20 (27:48):
You know, we woke up at three am local time
here the whole country had sirens nationally, and you know,
we have our six month old baby. Here is as
your first time flying with our baby, so.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
It's no joke.

Speaker 20 (27:58):
So we immediately went down to the bombshelter the house
where we are saying. We soon learned within minutes that
these sirens were not due to incoming rocket fire. Instead,
the IDEF Home Command did sirens nationwide to essentially alert
the people that, you know, major stuff was going down
inside a rod and there was the potential of imminent
retaliation there. That I think was what the IDEA was

(28:18):
most concerned about. Whether they're concerned about imminent immediate retaliation.
There's now been over twelve hours, actually far more than
that since that, and I think that the threat level
has decreased. But to your very first question, Charlie, there's
a bomb shelter probably thirty or forty steps over there,
So God forbid, I could make a dashboard and I
think I'll be okay.

Speaker 14 (28:36):
Well, yeah, and I hope everyone in the audience understands
that that's now become normal life in Israel. And so
you are outside right now, and which is great, praise God.
You can see the sun. But I just like, so,
I have so many questions here and I'm just going
to kind of go to stuff I can get from
you that I can't get from the cable networks. What
is the vibe? You're there with your kid, you are
there with you know, so many people you care about.

(28:58):
What is the what is the morale like on the
ground is do the Israeli support this.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well?

Speaker 20 (29:05):
This whole trip And Charlie, like you have in ismal
number of times, this whole trip thus far has been
not exactly what we signed up for us. My wife
and I were getting dinner the other night in the
Tel Aviv area on the ocean. There was a massive sir,
when we ran to a bomb shelter. It turns out
that there was a hooty ballistic missile in coming from
Yemen that was just two or three nights ago. And
now this is the mission of all missions. What Israel's

(29:28):
old is calling Operation Rising Lion, the Operation Inside Ron Charlie.
I'm here in the broader Tel Aviv area. As you
can see in the background here the sun is solely
starting to set the Jewish Sabbats. She bought us coming in,
so I guess we're spending the Sabbath here. We were
planning to be in Jerusalem, but we didn't want to
get in the car and drive an hour and a
half races. God forbid getting stuck in traffic with a

(29:48):
lot of missiles. Again, we have a six month old,
so we're being smart state parents here there. So we're
locking down.

Speaker 21 (29:53):
Now.

Speaker 20 (29:54):
What I can tell you is that the locals here,
the roads are empty. The roads are basically like a
ghost town. The supermarkets, it's like a hurricane. I've bune
through hurricanes living in Florida back home. I've lived in Houston, Texas, Miami,
Florida during hurricanes. Anyone who has been to a supermarket
during a hurricane, knows that the shelves are just totally
you know, you can't get any food. I'ms there is
a line around the door, curling around the supermarket. Same

(30:15):
thing here. It feels like a hurricane like condition right now. Again,
I guess we're going to see what actual hurricane in
the form of an Iranian retaliation actually comes here. But
the thing about the Israeli people, Charlie and holding us
hot the Arabs relies is a little more complicated. But
the thing about Jewish Israelis, which are still the vast
majorority of Israeli people, there is full consensus as to
the Iranian issue. There are a number of very very

(30:37):
divisive issues here in Israel bb net Ta Yahu, the
two state solution versus one state solution with the palaestate, Arabs,
the issue of the Haredi ultra Orthodox draft into the idea.
There are a lot of very contentious issues here in
the Israeli domestic political spectrum. But there's one very important
point I think for your audience to know is that
the Iran issue is not a contentious issue. I remember
speaking back in twenty sixteen during the twenty sixteen presidential cycle,

(30:58):
I spoke with a far left, a Jewish member of
the Kanesse at their legislature here. Charlie Dude was so
far left he was an actual Bernie Sander supporter.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
I kid you not.

Speaker 20 (31:07):
And even this guy, even this guy who was a
total peace nick on the Palaest Indians, a total liberal
on all domestic issues, you name it there, even he
was very sober and hawkish minded on Iran, because there
was an understanding here that Iran actually genuinely is the
existential issue, and that if the IDFs mantra that never
again means never again, if it means anything whatsoever, then

(31:27):
Iran has to be dealt with at some point. It
turns out that they dealt with it, or at least
sarted deal with it while I happened to be visiting
the country here.

Speaker 14 (31:33):
I'm now going to refer to you as our Israeli
war correspondent. We're going to have you on as much
as you'll have us. I have so many questions here, Josh,
just the more technical one. While I have it on
top of my head, I'm guessing that this will be
a Shabbat that is largely not honored by the military
and in the best possible way, right.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
I mean, it's not like.

Speaker 14 (31:50):
The whole country's just going to go to sleep while
Iran could launch a bunch of missiles.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Am I correct in that regard.

Speaker 20 (31:57):
Look, everyone has to do what they can here, so
you know, not to get too deep in the weeds
of Jewish law, but there is a well known Jewish
principle known as pookuluk nephesch, which basically means that there's
an overwhelming imperative to save a human life at all costs,
and when human life has to be saved at the
expense of desecrating the Jewish Sabbath or any other of
the violation of Jewish law, it has to be done there. So,

(32:19):
for example, Charlie, back home in Florida, where I pray,
I pray to a local senate God near the beach,
there's a guy who has a walkie talkie there because
he's actually an emergency driver for Hatsala. The emergency service
is there, so he's allowed to do that for reasons
of pookuok netfeesh. So similarly, here in Israel, when there
was an active threat of the world's leading state sponsor
of Jiha potentially launching God knows what kind of missiles,
drones or whatever we'll have here over the next forty

(32:41):
eight seventy two hours. Who the heck knows. Yes, I
think people are going to interpret the nephech and take
it into their own hands.

Speaker 14 (32:48):
It's just so I want to I have so many questions,
but I hope people understand that even in the midst
of all the terror, still the Shabbat will be honored
and the condition will be said.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
It's just pretty amazing. Now I'm turning off my on Charlie.

Speaker 14 (33:00):
Well, it's just it's remarkable. So Josh, let me ask you.
So now let's get more to like the technical side.
Are you surprised and what is your reaction, I should say,
to the fact that Iran has not really responded yet,
that we're coming on almost a twenty four hour marker
and there have not been missiles that are cascading down
on Israel.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Why is that?

Speaker 14 (33:20):
And is it because that Israel is just having a
feeding frenzy in the interior of Iran right now?

Speaker 20 (33:26):
So it's such a real time, minute by minute situation
that's a little hard to keep up with everything I
did hear maybe about thirty four or five minutes ago
that there were rocket sirens in northern Israeli. I assume
that is from Hezbolla and Lebanon, or at least the
remnants of Hesballa and Lebanon, because Heswall has been dealt
such a crippling blow over the past year or so
by by Israel but Iran, Charlie. And this is why

(33:47):
Israel apparently felt that this was the time to actually
launch this operation that was literally decades in the making,
was that they had done such such an amazing job
at crippling Iran's various proxies hesball in particular in Lebanon
with the massive one hundred thousand plus precision god in
missile Arsenal. That was always the Iranian regimes kind of
sort of damocles hanging over the Israeli people here. It's

(34:09):
right on the Israeli border up north there, and Israel
knew that if they were to ever launch a serious
operation against Iran, then Hesbald would just rained down lots
and lots of missiles on Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or all
the population four doors there. But the law has not
been literally eliminated, but I mean, you know, eighty ninety percent.
I mean they are on really, really really weak knees
right near now, so the path was really really clear.

(34:30):
And then inside of Iran itself you look at just
the sheer number of the top ranking IRGC Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corp, the general staffers that apparently have been killed
over the past twelve to eighteen hours.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
There.

Speaker 20 (34:40):
I mean, Charlie, I think we're literally talking about a
situation where the actual physical men who would literally call
the shots are perhaps no longer with us. It's a
pretty astounding thing to say there, but I think that's
the reality inside a run RightNow.

Speaker 14 (34:52):
And so let me ask you the So then it
looks as if Israel is continuing a bombing campaign against Iran.
I mean, how else can iron respond if their missile
capacity is largely disabled.

Speaker 20 (35:11):
Well, look, they have the potential to try to launch
extra territorial assassinations. Charlie, I'll be honest with you, in
a weird way, I actually almost feel safer here in
Israel than if I were back home in the United States.
I live in Florida, so Florida's county exception to the
rule of Florida is an incredibly safe place to be
jew To, an incredibly safe place frankly to be anyone.
But I do think in a time like this about

(35:33):
more exposed Jewish communities Israeli expatriate communities in blue jurisdictions.
I think a lot about New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago,
places like that at this time there, because those are
the places where the local government is not necessarily going
to be up to speed at protecting vulnerable soft targets. Synagogues,
kosher restaurants, things like that at this time here, living
here or not, I don't live here, but being here

(35:55):
in Israel at this time here and having the idea
of protect us, I feel pretty good for the most
part there. But they do have the capacity. Iran Ron
has a lot of sleeper cells. They have a lot
of sleeper cells, a lot of lone wolf agents, a
lot of people all throughout the West, a lot of
these crazy radicals, the machmu khalils on the university campuses,
a lot of folks who are pledging and vowing to

(36:15):
take up not necessarily full on jihad in an Ici
style caliphate here in the Middle East, but just engaging
in lone wolf style attacks very similar to what the
Marxist did in slaughtering, brutally assassaining this to Israeli diplomats
in Washington tweeks ago. So that's the kind of soft
lone wolf target that I'm actually most scared of at
a time like this, I'm less scared about whatever is
coming from Iran in kind of a paradoxical way, even

(36:37):
though I'm right here kind of in the crosshairs of fire.

Speaker 14 (36:39):
Yeah, I mean I literally put up on Twitter, I'll
read it to the audience, which is, keep your head
on a swivel, Biden, let millions of people into America.
Iran might activate some sleeper cells against Americans, stay armed,
And I mean that goes for all people, right, is
the Iranian sleeper cells into the interior of the United States?
Ken Israel win this without the United States troops.

Speaker 20 (37:02):
So it to atally depends how you define when Charlie,
it seems to me that Israel is not, at least
at this moment, seeking to decapitate the head of the snake. Again,
We'll see it's a very very fast time situation there.
It seems to me like if they were going to
take their shots at the ayatol At community. It probably
would have happened in the wee hours.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Of the morning.

Speaker 20 (37:20):
Again, what do I know, I'm just kind of playing
speculation game here. But the goal of this operations, as
far as I understand it is simply to neutralize the
nuclear threat. And if that is the goal, If that
is the goal, then I think that Israel has already
shown that it is fully capable of doing that. Just
to take one example, I mean, they hit a large,
large number of Iran's NUTHER facilities. It is just to

(37:40):
take one example, not Tons, which is maybe the most
infamous of all of the Iranian uranium and Richmond facilities,
and Tons has been kind of front and center of
all these ken Israel strike Iran debates for the past
fifteen to twenty years now. These debates have gone back
a long time. Israel has as by all accounts, according
to the IAEA, the UN International Nuclear watchdof they call
it NATONS, has been completely obliterated. There is no more

(38:02):
Naton's nuclear facility. I mean, that is an astonishing, astonishing
thing right there. So again, if the goal of the
Israeli Operation Rising Line, I think is the name that
the idea of is giving it. If the goal is
to neutralize the Iranian nuclear threats, then I think they
are fully capable of doing this on the run. There's
not going to be a ground in bage or anything
like that there.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
It's not going to happen.

Speaker 20 (38:23):
I mean, the logistics that are just impossible to even constantly.
I don't know, I don't even know what.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
That looks like.

Speaker 20 (38:27):
I mean, the tanks start rolling over a rock, I mean,
I mean, it's.

Speaker 13 (38:30):
Not going to happen.

Speaker 20 (38:31):
So the goal of this is tactical aerial strikes to
neutralize a harrowing threat to the world's number one state
sponsor of JIHA, these fanatical islmus who genuinely believe in
seventy two versions and have and all that there. The
goal is to decapitate their capacity to launch a nuclear
strike on Israel, Europe anywhere else if they were to
ever acquire, God forbid, intercontinentibilistic missile technology. And so far

(38:53):
they've been very successful, and I think God William that
they will continue to be very Sorry.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Josh, stay right there.

Speaker 14 (38:57):
I want to tell everyone about the great work to
go the Josh ham podcast. You heard me talk about
Patriot Mobile for a while now. You probably know that
for years they've stood in the gap for Americans who
believe that faith, family, and freedom are worth fighting for.
But did you know they have cutting edge technology as well?

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Get this.

Speaker 14 (39:12):
Patriot Mobile is one of the few carriers with access
to all three major US networks.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
You can't get this from the big guys. So what

this up here. We did this on X last night.
I asked our audience. Three hundred and twenty three thousand
people voted, should the US get involved in Israel's war
against run?

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Eighty eight percent said no.

Speaker 14 (42:09):
I can't imagine you're surprised by that, though, Josh, so
as someone who's in Israel and cares about Israel, but
as also an American, walk me through your reaction to
that and how you think this plays out politically.

Speaker 20 (42:21):
Yeah, Charlie, I don't think the US really has to
get involved. I have never once, actually, in my entire
commentary career, calls for the US to direct to get
involved in military or kinetic action against Brawn, because, frankly,
it's not my stance. I thought that the first Trump
era maximum pressures economic campaign was very successful there, and
then beyond economic pressure and placing crippling sanctions on the

(42:42):
oil and natural gas exports to the Chinese Communist Party
above all there, I've always thought that at Israel could
take the military end of the bargain, and da needs
to be done. All that essentially is needed from the
United States is to cast the various vetos at the
UN National Security Council and things like that there. But
Charlie I wud suggest that another way to view it

(43:02):
actually is this way. Iran obviously is an existential threat
to Israel. It is a major threat to other countries,
but it is a larger threat to Israel, and I
think it would be sloppy analysis to try to needlessly
conflate the degree of the threat to Israel to others.
There is a threat to United States, but not the
exact same threat. Having said that it is a threat,
Auran definitely does have American blood on its hands for

(43:24):
forty six years, going back to the hostage crisis that
launched the regime and end of the Jimmy Carter presidency,
going back to the two hundred forty one US marine
slaughter at the Marine barracks in Beirut Lebanon from Hezbla,
the top Iranian proxy, the five to six hundred American
soldiers killed by cossing Sulamani supplied ideds on the roadside
of all En Barn Fallujah during the Petraeus counter and
certainty during the Bush administration, and on and on and

(43:45):
on we go there. So I think another way of
viewing this is as follows, which is that Israel is
acting as is a good ally should act in securing
not just its own national interest it happens to be
an existential interest in this case there, but also the
ultimately conducing to the enhanced and greater safety and security
of the United States of a European allies, and so

(44:06):
forth and so forth. There, the United States Charlie today
and for the foreseable future is a safer and more
secure place because of what Israel is doing inside of Ron.
This is a very very key point there. Again, this
is needed for Israel. Israel's acting as any sovereign nation
state would do in its own national interest here. But
the key thing, and I make this point a great
length of my book Israel and Civilization. But the key

(44:26):
thing here is that when it comes to the Middle East,
and this is kind of what you expect of an
ally from a national as reel as foreign policy paradigm,
the key thing is that Israel's national interest in this
region is overwhelmingly. Then diagram overlapped with the American region.
The degrees may actually vary, for sure, I will happily
and readily conceive that there. But again, America is a
safer and more secure place today from Israel. Simply doing this,

(44:48):
in fact, America in many ways is benefiting, frankly on
the cheap because we're not actually sending in any kind
of troops and no one is calling for that, by
the way, no one is, seriously, literally I haven't found
a single person who's actually calling for that there. So
as long as remains on the chief, I think America
looks quite good.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Actually, Josh, please stay safe.

Speaker 14 (45:04):
I know that you are in a calamitous situation right now,
and we'll be praying for you and praying for your
family and praying for the peace in Jerusalem.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Thank you so much, God bless you, Charlie, thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 14 (45:15):
I want to just go a little bit deeper into
the politics here, and we talked about the cautionary tale.
These military operations are almost oversimplified in the media, and
they kind of have an immediate crescendo and then some
complication as one proceeds. I could tell you though that
young Maga. Especially the more online you get, the more
skepticism there is about America getting involved in this in

(45:39):
the quagmire, in the NonStop flow of military intervention in
the Middle East, and the base will diverge from some
orthodox opinions on Israel that you might hear on cable
news or in the mainstream media, where the base might
have diplomatic and sentimental support towards Israel, which of course

(46:02):
I've demonstrated over a very long period of time, which
the question is though, how much money, how much funding
are we getting involved and to what extent does that
lead towards because I can tell you right now a
primary concern from the magabase it is a phrase I hear.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
All the time, Charlie.

Speaker 14 (46:20):
This is just to get the war contractors wealthier, Charlie.
This is just to get people that are in the
permanent war machine more money. They want more war and
not peace. I hear this all the time from those
of you in the base, and with that I want
to hear from you right now. I want to be
flooded with emails freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Should we
send more aid to Israel? Should we send military support?

(46:43):
Should we not send any support at all. Email me
Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. That is Freedom at Charliekirk
dot com. Second Hour coming up, which is our members call.
It's going to be a lot of fun. It's my
favorite hour of the week, members dot Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Second Hour coming up.

Speaker 11 (47:17):
I'm Bo Davidson in the Real America's Voice newsroom. We
have some breaking news from Tapachula, Mexico, near the border
with Guatemala, where Oscar l Blue Ramirez is. I want
to play a quick clip of Oscar's recent interview in Mexico.

Speaker 22 (47:29):
It happened that in four days they gave us eight thousand,
eight hundred multiple immigration forms, and that people arrived almost
immediately in the United States and specifically in New York.

Speaker 23 (47:41):
Potentially eight thousand and a fraction of people were from
the trend the Aragua. I almost consider it that way.

Speaker 22 (47:47):
Now after some time, I can tell you that I
was used. I was used by these movements.

Speaker 11 (47:55):
So Oscar, this is some shocking stuff. This caravan leader
is saying that train Theregua infiltrated about fifteen caravans in Tapachula,
and the federal government immediately sent eighty eight hundred immigration
forms and they were sent then to New York. Is
that correct?

Speaker 23 (48:10):
Well, the immigration forms in the multiple migration form, it
is the number one permit which the government of Mexico
was lacking to give the immigrants to walk to the
north and to basically walk freely in the whole country.
So that was a caravan that it was, you know,
basically what he's saying that it was between the control
by the cartel of the trend that I WA in

(48:32):
also the government. And the curious thing about it is
that he's talking about that massive quantity eighty eight hundred
people that they were directed is specifically to New York.
That is aggravating because not only that quantity, but other
fifteen caravans that later on, every single one of them
had a specific mechanism, which trend that AWA used to control.

(48:54):
And also on that interview he talks about the trend
that I was in charge in the south of the
border of equal of the trafficking of Chinese nationals, Ukrainians
and Russians into the United States of America.

Speaker 11 (49:07):
BO So a lot of terrible actors. It sounds like
eighty eight hundred probably plus trafficked into the United States,
specifically into New York.

Speaker 23 (49:16):
Yes, thousands. This is the number one reason why I
have said multiple times before the Trump administration it is
going to have an enormous challenge to find these individuals,
these individuals of trend that are they're not your typical
average you know, gang member as per se. For a
lot of them, they're former military, they're trained by the
military of Venezuela, and a lot of them they have

(49:38):
been in this criminal activity for years. So it's going
to be extremely difficult. Now the other side is the
concerning side bow what kind of individuals you have inside
of the United States of America that they haven't been arrested,
they haven't been detained, and that they haven't been deported.

Speaker 11 (49:53):
Talk about what the leader said about the use of
social media to do this and whether it's still being
used now.

Speaker 23 (50:00):
Yes, you know, it's one of the mechanisms that he
says that they actually have completely taken over. They use Facebook,
they use Instagram, they used TikTok to basically incentivize and
to tell these massive groups of migrants to come with
the vulnerable migrants. So what they do is they comboke
a massive structure of people that there are specifically vulnerable
migrants that they want to walk on these caravans, but

(50:22):
on those vulnerable people, they infiltrate these trends that I
want people so it will pass from voter to voter,
looking at as a smoke screen to make everybody think
that they're vulnerable. But at the same time, Bo, you
have really dangerous people that they're arriving from state, from
state and border to voter.

Speaker 11 (50:40):
And how recently did this happen? Oscar? When was he
infiltrated that his leadership of the caravans.

Speaker 23 (50:46):
He has been doing caravans since back in twenty eighteen,
but the fifteen caravans that he's talking about, it's just recently.
Both this is the concerning thing. It was just when
the Mexican president became president. That it was around the
last days of July, all the way to November. I
walked on the last two caravans that possibly and entirely

(51:06):
they were infiltrated individuals of the trend that Awa and
the last two caravans were in November and specifically on
the day that Donald Trump became was nominated to be
president of the fifth of November.

Speaker 11 (51:18):
So real quickly, Oscar. Finally, is the government still working
with cartels and smugglers. You've seen a lot of people.
We showed them a couple of days ago at the
Guatemala Mexico border. Is this still happening?

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Is there?

Speaker 11 (51:28):
Are they still being trafficked in the United States?

Speaker 23 (51:31):
The voter is still opened, bo and they're still happening.
Now they have changed and drifted to another part of
the side of the border with Guatemala and Mexico. And
they're actually these are they call them exotic migrants. They
pay high quantities of money, between twenty to twenty five
thousand dollars and a tourist package. That's why they call them.
To get them all the way from the south of
the border into the norm borders into the United States

(51:51):
of America and cross them illegally through specific checkpoints that
cartel has already have a lot of control.

Speaker 11 (51:58):
Wow, this is incredibly organized, OSCAR. Thank you so much
for this blistering report on what happened with the infiltration
of caravans down at the Guatemala Mexico border. Thank you, OSCAR.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Yes? What is on your mind?

Speaker 24 (52:49):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Try challenging a member? Yes, of course.

Speaker 7 (52:52):
So first off, I wanted to thank you for inviting
me onto the Turning Point team. I'm looking forward to
being a part of the golf region.

Speaker 19 (53:00):
It's going to be awesome, phenomenal, a lot of great
ideas brewing right now. So my question created it, do
you think Elon and and do you think the Elon
and Trump feud was staged at all?

Speaker 1 (53:15):
No? Not at all. It was very real, yes, correct.

Speaker 7 (53:19):
Okay, you don't think it could have been like a
like a distraction from like something else that Trump you know,
potentially has brewing right now.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Like, No, it was very very real, very much real. Yes.

Speaker 7 (53:32):
Interesting, Okay, Well I was just curious what your thoughts were.

Speaker 14 (53:36):
Just a couple of guys blowing off steam, a couple
uh a couple of roommates that spend a little bit
too much time together at mar A Lago. But a
lot of people think that, and I could tell you
right now that they're in a much better place now.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
So yeah, definitely awesome.

Speaker 7 (53:53):
Yeah, I see, I saw that they were together at
some point yesterday in a somewhere.

Speaker 11 (53:58):
But yeah, thank you, Charlie.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Thanks man, really appreciate it.

Speaker 14 (54:02):
Okay, Anthony, thank you for bringing member members dot Charliekirk
dot com, members dot Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Anthony, what's on your mind.

Speaker 11 (54:10):
More than Charlie question?

Speaker 17 (54:12):
With the riots going on now, the stuff between Israe
and I ran, there's something that's kind of floating under
the radar. The Republican in the House, last name of Green.
He just retires unexpectedly immediately after voting for the big
beautiful bill. But there's really like, you know, this has
kind of gone on to the radar. You know, we already
have a slim majority. Now it's even slimmer. What's going

(54:33):
on with this? Because not many people are covering it
because of all the other headlines. And then the other
thing is I just want to see if you got
an email I sent you a couple of weeks ago
regarding a topic we talked about regarding Harvard and all
that stuff of the theory I had.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Yeah, and so the email that you sent.

Speaker 14 (54:47):
I'm not sure, but Mark Green said Monday he'll resign
from Congress after it passes the President Trump's domestic agenda,
the Reconciliation Bill. It has a heavy heart that I
announced my retirement from Congress recently. I was offered an
opportunity to private sector that was too excited a pass up.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
I don't know too much about it.

Speaker 14 (55:06):
I mean, I will say though, that like people, once
they get into Congress, it's not what they thought it
was going to be. It's a lot of travel, it's
very thankless. It's a very heavy task, to say the least, right,
And you know, I could tell you that it's these
resignations happen quite a lot. I mean we saw that,
you know, with Gallagher. But I mean they get it's

(55:28):
just like these what do these Congress people do all
day long? It's hard to even comprehend. So anyway, thanks
so much, Anthony, really appreciate it. Thank you, no problem,
have a good one, okay, Aaron, Aaron, thank you for
being a member members dot Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
What's on your mind? Hello Charlie, can you hear me? Yes?
How are you? I just want to say a big fan,
you're actually the one who brought.

Speaker 18 (55:54):
Me to God.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Oh Raise the Lord.

Speaker 23 (55:57):
I just wanted to question.

Speaker 22 (55:58):
My brother is kind of a diehard communist and I
was wondering what can I do to kind of bring
him back capitalism and religion and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
So your brother is a diehard communist. Well, it's a
good question.

Speaker 14 (56:15):
I would begin by saying that one of the reasons
why people go towards communism or socialism is they have
unresolved envy in their life. They want something that is
not necessarily theirs, and they're looking the world, the world
through a prism of oppressor and oppressed instead of what
is just and unjust. I have to ask you, though, Aaron,

(56:36):
how has your journey been going back to God? And
that means the world that I played a role in
that tell me more? Wells.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
For a long time, it's not that I was atheist
or anything. I just never really thought about it.

Speaker 24 (56:48):
But watching somebody like your videos.

Speaker 21 (56:52):
And other people that just talk about God and everything.

Speaker 24 (56:55):
It started to make sense to me.

Speaker 22 (56:58):
And one day I was at a funeral at luth
In Church.

Speaker 20 (57:04):
I'm from Akron, Ohio, and Uh, I was at a
louth And church for a funeral and just somebody spoke
to me. And I've been going there ever since, and
videos like yours is just what directed me put put me.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
In the right direction.

Speaker 14 (57:22):
Well, praise the Lord that that that is what it's
all about. And believing in God and serving God and
doing God's will here on earth is what it's all about.
Pray for your brother, uh, first and foremost, that's the
most important thing. Engage him in the Socratic method, Ask
critical questions, you know, try to try and get him

(57:44):
closer towards some approximation of truth. And honestly, I could
tell you an Aaron, I want to send you a
book and send you a hat.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
It's beautiful that this is what that you're You're why
I do what I do. Uh.

Speaker 14 (57:58):
And also Understan, remember that as soon as you say
you are a Christian, you represent Christ when you are
around him. If you are happier, more joyful, pleasant to
be around, he might not immediately but be like, why.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Is it that my brother is happier.

Speaker 14 (58:13):
Than I am and so so phenomenal to hear that.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
I hope to meet you one day.

Speaker 14 (58:18):
Maybe i've met you before, Aaron, and I don't know,
but that is beautiful and can't wait to meet you.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Thank you, Thank you. Okay, let's let's go to the
next one. We're gonna go through.

Speaker 14 (58:31):
We're gonna get through a lot today because I know
we have a ton waiting usually Patrick Patrick, thank you
for being a member members dot Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Patrick, what is on your mind?

Speaker 25 (58:41):
Hi Charlie, I just wanted to say, first, Happy Father's
Day as well.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Oh, thank you absolutely means.

Speaker 25 (58:47):
My first My question was how did you become so successful?
And what advice would you give to someone my age
wanting to retire early, you know, fifty to fifty five
in order to enjoy life for my family and maybe
go bow hunting with Uncle Ted Nugent. No on you
and I's birthday.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Well, I love that, So I do have a piece
of advice.

Speaker 14 (59:09):
While you might retire from work, do not retire from
worthy tasks. I totally get retiring from your specific job,
but stay busy towards righteous and good purposes in your church.
Find a hobby, or even part time work. It is
not good for man to be idle. It is not

(59:33):
good and so I totally get it. You've earned retirement,
but find new purpose and it's not good to become aimless.
So I do, unfortunately find retirees they get really bored,
and boredom is bad. I have a whole belief that
bored men create really bad countries. When you have young men,

(59:53):
men of any ages that are any age that is
bored and they have a lot of time on their hands,
they get into stuff they should not get into. So
your job is now to pass along wisdom and mentor
young people. You get involved the turning point action, but
find a new purpose and a new task. And honestly,
it sounds like you've worked your tail off throughout the years,
Am I right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Patrick? You've probably worked right?

Speaker 25 (01:00:15):
Yeah, yes, sir, I'm an electrician in Indiana.

Speaker 14 (01:00:18):
So yeah, you've literally busted your back for a years.
So you deserve some time just to take a breath
and to go bow hunting and to enjoy life. But
you know, as hard as you've worked as an electrician,
I'm going to give you advice of the people will
probably not have you give that retirement is well earned,
but make sure it's not just stationary, sedentary sitting on
the couch or sitting on the recliner. You don't strike

(01:00:40):
me as that type of person because God gave you
life and we need you to keep pouring into your
community and pouring into people around you. And so Patrick,
I hope that that resonates with you in some way.

Speaker 10 (01:00:52):
Yes, certain does.

Speaker 14 (01:00:53):
Thank you very much, absolutely, and God bless you Patrick,
and hope to meet you soon.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Thank you, God bless you. Okay, what do we have, guys?
We have Z factor.

Speaker 14 (01:01:05):
We're going to get to the next member in a second.
What great members calls today, especially young man who gave
himself to the Lord because of the work we're doing.
You know, it's funny some pastors will attack me, Charlie,
you're too aggressive or all this, and I say, look,
everyone has their own tact, everyone has their own approach.
But we do bring more people back to church and

(01:01:25):
bring more people back to Jesus. And I think people
give us credit for not that it matters, not that
it's a tally. It's all the Lord's work, right, It's
God at work. It's God who has plans for all
of us. What I'm saying, what doesn't matter. It doesn't
matter who gets the credit, is what I'm saying. But
I do think it's important that people recognize and realize
that all the work we do here on the show,

(01:01:47):
all of my campus commentary, has significant religious and spiritual implications.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):

(01:05:06):
America were to strike Iran in addition to Israel, how
would you feel about that? I want your thoughts. Freedom
at Charliekirk dot com. Okay, Michael, what's on your mind?
Members dot Charliekirk dot com. What's on your mind?

Speaker 18 (01:05:19):
Hey, Charlie, what's going on? Since the House is actually like,
I gotta give Speaker Johnson credit. I didn't think he'd
do it. I didn't think the House would do it.
They're actually passing the recision bills. I figured they drag
it out until midterms, but says they've actually gotten off
their button, kept working.

Speaker 11 (01:05:34):
Do you think the seven is gonna.

Speaker 18 (01:05:35):
Get off there butt and actually passed a big, beautiful bill?

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
I think so.

Speaker 14 (01:05:39):
I mean, I was really I'm really disappointed by what
I saw from Lindsay Graham the other day. He said, oh,
the no tax on tips, no tax and overtime might
not make it like, oh my goodness. I mean, so
you're gonna keep all this other boondoggle stuff that like
we have to kind of shrug our shoulders like okay,
and like we need no tax on tips, we need
no tax in overtime. That is a fundamental can pain

(01:06:00):
promise a critical fundamental campaign promise without a doubt?

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
And so it has border security.

Speaker 16 (01:06:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Please keep going.

Speaker 18 (01:06:12):
About the no tax on overtime. I'm a truck driver.
I get paid by the mile instead of by instead
of hourly. What do you think the chance would be
in the future of turning it from no tax on
overtime to no tax on anything made after forty hours
of work?

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
You know, it's a good question.

Speaker 14 (01:06:28):
So I don't know, because overtime is a very technical
thing where you get time and a half. I don't
know the answer to that. I can tell you though,
that specifically for overtime wages, they usually are earning less
money people that are let's say open to overtime. Now,
the tips are somewhat of a loophole, but if you

(01:06:49):
read the bill, it's only up to ten thousand dollars
a year that will be not taxed on tips. So,
for example, you can't just create your entire income to.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Be you know, tips. It's up to ten.

Speaker 14 (01:06:58):
Thousand bucks a year, which By the way, a lot
of people in waiters and waitresses make a ton of money,
you know as getting tip work and setting up valets,
so on and so forth.

Speaker 18 (01:07:09):
Please, depending on where you're at, you're gonna make more
than ten thousand dollars a month a year in tips.
That's bowl crap.

Speaker 14 (01:07:15):
Yeah, No, that's yeah exactly. And so what part of
the big beautiful bill do you appreciate most?

Speaker 18 (01:07:23):
I appreciate that they are following through with President Trump's
campaign promises. The tech I wish there was. I wish
instead of it being overtime, it was no tax on
anything on wag journers over fifty dollars over forty hours,
because truck drivers and people like me are excluded from it,
and all of those campaign promises, the border bill and whatnot.

(01:07:44):
I tend to be with Massey and Paul when it
comes to reduction and spending, harder reduction and spending and
harder reduction in the debt, because I know I'm at
to pay for that eventually, and most of the people
that are in of AICUs right now are going to
be dead when that bill comes due. And but I
get that if Congress is passing the recision bills. They're

(01:08:07):
at least moving in that direction. So I'm on into
compromise and let them move. They're just moving too slow
for my liking.

Speaker 14 (01:08:12):
So so I have to I have to brag on something.
Do you know some of the smartest people in the
country that get no credit truck drivers? No doubt you
meant you guys listen to content all day long. The
vocabulary you're using.

Speaker 18 (01:08:27):
Seventy hours a week, two and a half hour, two
and a half time.

Speaker 14 (01:08:29):
Speed No, no, so, so and so you do you
listen to many of the Charlie Kirkshow podcasts when you're
doing cross country.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Uh drive.

Speaker 18 (01:08:37):
So I listened to yourself uh uh uh uh posts
o uh Tim Poole uh, the guy that took over
for Bongino. I listened to Jordan Peterson, Jocko Willink Morgan
on getting onto Jordan Peterson's actual uh hit, his courses

(01:08:58):
that he put out on getting on Hillsdale.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
I'm working.

Speaker 18 (01:09:01):
I've got over one hundred things that I've uh ad
on audio odded up bull.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:09:08):
I don't talk for a living like you do.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
You're autimal, You're very eloquent. I want to just say
you are not the exception, you are the rule.

Speaker 14 (01:09:17):
Truck drivers are some of the wisest. They're some of
the most informed people because they're They're in the car
all day long listening when I get stopped for pictures.
Truck drivers like know every episode.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
They know everything.

Speaker 14 (01:09:28):
I mean, you're talking about recisions. What part of the
conservative base knows about recisions?

Speaker 18 (01:09:33):
Like and we talk about that, but it's like a bingo.

Speaker 14 (01:09:37):
I want last question, twenty five seconds remaining. Are you
worried that automation and self driving cars are going to
displace you?

Speaker 18 (01:09:45):
I don't have enough explains time to explain this in
twenty five seconds, but the short answer is.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Stay after the break, all right, yes, sir, I want it.

Speaker 14 (01:09:54):
I'll tell you there is more wisdom, knowledge, prudence with
America truck drivers then you will find in the Harvard
Faculty lounge.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
You can write that down.

Speaker 14 (01:10:08):

Speaker 11 (01:10:36):
I vot Davidson in the Real America's Voice newsroom. Since
Trump was sworn in it's incredible to think of the
progress his administration has already made. It's not easy to
move mountains at the speed of light. However, when they're
trying to right the country, they can't also take your
personal finances into account. You've got to do that, and
that's why thousands of Americans are buying gold right now

(01:10:56):
from Birch Gold. Here are the facts, folks. In the
past twelve months, the value of gold has increased by
thirty percent. Central banks are buying gold in record quantities,
so demand doesn't seem to be subsiding anytime soon. The
real reset is on the horizon where bricks nations are
looking to unseat the US dollar as the global reserve currency.
But you can find peace of mind in gold. Birch

(01:11:17):
Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing IRA
or four oh one k into attack sheltered ira and
physical gold, or you can even buy some to store
in your home safe. Just text America to ninety eight

a free infoKit on gold. There's no obligation, only useful

are your headlines. Tomorrow, the Army will celebrate its two
hundred and fiftieth birthday in Washington, d C. In a

(01:11:57):
display of military might. The Army began a year before
our nation's founding and will commemorate its anniversary with displays
of Army equipment and weaponry. President Trump is expected to
participate in the anniversary in his motorcade, which also coincides
with Flag Day and his seventy ninth birthday. Trump has
been firm in his warning to anyone planning on protesting
the parade. Meanwhile, the guided missile Navy destroyer of the

(01:12:21):
US S. Thomas Hudner has begun to make its way
toward the Eastern Mediterranean following Israel's strike on Iran and
Iran's retaliation. This move echoes moves the US made in
twenty twenty four after Iran shot ballistic missiles at Israel. Meanwhile,
while there have been mixed reactions from Democrats following Israel's
attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and generals one. Senator John

(01:12:42):
Fetterman has voiced his support on x He stated, our
commitment to Israel must be absolute and I fully support
this attack keep wiping out Iranian leadership and nuclear personnel.
We must provide whatever is necessary military intelligence, weaponry, the
fully back Israel in striking Iran.

No, no, no, We're a country of settlers, not of immigrants.
That's a big distinction. Let me tell you the difference.
Settlers are people that build a new country that was barren.
Immigrants come to a country already built. The people who
built this country. They went west to an unconquered barren
country and built a new society. Immigrants helped enrich it,
they helped grow it upon that, but the foundation of

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
I think we have our friend here, Michael.

Speaker 14 (01:14:24):
Michael, are you worried about self driving cars and automation
displacing your job as a truck driver?

Speaker 18 (01:14:30):
So the short answer is note, the long answer is
I could give you a three hour lecture, but we
don't have time for that. But let me let me
break this down for you in the simplest terms possible.
The automation is too slow, a good truck driver, What
do you mean a good truck So the average person's
reaction time is about one second. A good truck driver

(01:14:51):
has about half to a quarter of that. I have
to drive around. I'm driving at twenty twenty five Peter
built three five seventy nine. I have to drive around
the tr ruck because the truck reacts so slow. I
have to anticipate what the truck is going to do
and put the inputs in before the traffic conditions are
what they're going to be. So if I see so,

(01:15:13):
let I'll use an example that most people have seen
you coming up to a clover leaf intersection. I see
a car coming down the clover leaf. I know they're
probably going to merge into me. So the truck doesn't
see that yet, and most of your automated cars, you know,
I've been a be in a brand new Testla. If
they do not see that, and I'm going to know
because I'm a human and I have common sense, and

(01:15:34):
I have forethought that that that car is going to
be merging in. Now, I don't know if they're gonna look.
I don't know if we're gonna signal. I don't know
what they're gonna do. But I know I need to
be getting off my criss control and being ready to
react before that car starts to signal that they're going
to get into my lane. Automation is not there yet,
and I have a yet to see them being able
to look that far ahead and that far out, and

(01:15:59):
the fact that, like for my truck, the factory recommends
an extra two to three seconds to kill cruise control
and I'll allow the truck to react to whatever next
input I'm gonna do. That's an eternity in an emergency.
I'm telling you right now, it's an attorney in emergency.
I have had this truck book so hard underneath me

(01:16:20):
because I needed to react faster than the computer wanted
it to, and I just said, screw you, you're gonna
do this, and it didn't like it. But if the
technology cannot get faster with the inputs that is giving
the truck and still maintain stability, it's never gonna work.
The stuff that they're doing right now. Oh, I think

(01:16:45):
we lost them haging about that stuff. I'm telling you
right now, I can do that with no wind, with
a good way, with a good alignment. It's not impressive.

Speaker 14 (01:16:52):
Well yet, no really quick, and then we got any
nice call. What so you drive seventy hours a week?
What are the routes to usually drive?

Speaker 18 (01:17:00):
I have been to forty seven of the lower forty
eight states, name around.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
I've been there. You sound like a really happy guy.
Do you enjoy your job? I love it. It's amazing.

Speaker 18 (01:17:12):
The only downside is trying to find a wife, because
they they're just like, because I'm not I'm not home.
And every single woman I've talked to you is like,
if you want me home, we've got to figure out
what we're going to give up because I cannot make
the same money home daily as I do as I
do being a long haul truck driver. And that's that's not.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Normally a very very serious thing.

Speaker 21 (01:17:31):
No I know.

Speaker 14 (01:17:32):
I know a lot of long haul truck drivers and
their family is in a tough spot because they got
to constantly be doing it. Honestly, I will say this,
I want to meet you one day. We're going to
mail you a signed hat. We should do a big
thank you collect in our country for one second for
our long haul truck drivers. You guys delivered us goods
during the lockdowns. You guys are not thanked enough and

(01:17:53):
they are the most conservative Republican people in the country.

Speaker 18 (01:17:57):
Final thoughts, Michael, Back when turning Point Fit into a
Honda a Corps, you went and barnstormed Indiana with the
Tea Party through all the tea party meetings and then
met you when when you had people and I was
actually and I was actually I was you told you
told some people earlier that you needed to You told
the guy, the first guy that called in, you needed

(01:18:18):
to be likable to be a chapter president. And I'm
still not the most personable person there. So when I
tried to start a chapter and I U p uy,
it didn't go well. But me and you meta way
back when, and I'm still active. I'm just not as
good at this as you are.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Well, God bless you.

Speaker 26 (01:18:35):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
We all have our role and this is a beautiful testimony.
Hope to see you soon. Thank you so much. Man.
Jackson Jackson is here. I like the name Jackson a
lot Jackson.

Speaker 10 (01:18:46):
What is on your mind?

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Members dot Charliekirk dot com, Hello missus, Sir Kirk.

Speaker 11 (01:18:54):
Hello again.

Speaker 26 (01:18:55):
Of course I asked multiple questions on the on this,
so I'm going to ask, perhaps what's on the most
on my mind right now. But what do I do
about some of my friends who are pro Gaza and
support illegal immigration. I mean, they claim that President Trump
is violating due process, but I do know that the
founders never intended for the Supreme Court to have the

(01:19:16):
final say interpreting the Constitution, so I know it is
not as powerful as everyone makes it out to be.

Speaker 14 (01:19:23):
So you have friends that are pro Gaza, if I
can understand, right, and also kind of pro open borders.
So what is the question how to convince them?

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Is that correct?

Speaker 14 (01:19:33):
Well?

Speaker 26 (01:19:33):
Yes, I just want to be able to have a
friendly debate with them if sorry, I want to make
sure I can have a friendly debate because without them
calling me genocidal or nazi or anything like that, because
I know that because I have not debated them about
this topic yet.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
Yeah, it's difficult.

Speaker 14 (01:19:51):
I mean, look, they're going to the left resorts to
name calling as a default setting in their argumentation and
in some ways, Look, if they're going to call you
nazi and genocidal, I would encourage you to get new friends.
If you are not able to talk about the same
transcendent things with your friends, then they're not actually your friends.
I know that might sound a little bit cruel, But
anyone that would like say, oh, you're supporting genocide, that's

(01:20:13):
not a friend of yours. They're indicting your character at
that point, right, They're they're criticizing and assassinating who you
are fundamentally as a person, and so you need to
be respectful of other opinions. But once that kind of
name calling happens, I think it's time to sever Thank
you so much, really appreciate it, Sandy, Sandy, thank you

(01:20:34):
for being a member members dot Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
Sandy, what's on your mind?

Speaker 21 (01:20:39):
Hello, sir?

Speaker 27 (01:20:40):
Uh.

Speaker 21 (01:20:40):
First, I just want to based on some of the
other callers, I just want to thank you for all
that you are doing our youth. Minister Sunday Night opened
up his message with clips from your podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Oh wow, very cool to see that he he's getting.

Speaker 21 (01:21:00):
That message into our youth. My first question, there's a
Texas cop that is still suspended since twenty twenty one
based on a Biden era DA that was brought in.
There was a bml B l M riot incident that

(01:21:20):
occurred in twenty twenty. He was found no wrongdoing by
an internal police investigation, but he is still suspended. He
cannot work over time, you know, off duty jobs on here,
anything which impacts his family's income. He's got a you know,

(01:21:40):
young family of three kids. And how do I raise awareness?
And you know, I would love to get the charges
dropped on him. He's in limbo, he's hostage.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
What is his name?

Speaker 21 (01:21:59):
A chant? Wretches? I links and information to y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
Chance Burch got it rightes? Yeah? And what part of
Texas was this? Then? I'm just taking in Austin.

Speaker 21 (01:22:14):
Austin, Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
Yeah, all right, so we're going to take a look
at that.

Speaker 14 (01:22:17):
Unfortunately, it's nothing new where they go after police officers
that largely did nothing wrong. Let me ask you though,
the when they played the clip of our show with
your youth pastor what what what were they playing?

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
I'm curious and how was that received?

Speaker 21 (01:22:35):
It was several of the I would say far left
students in these campuses, asking questions, very provocative questions. And
you know these were short clips because he did have

(01:22:55):
a message to preach, but you know, sharing just giving
our audience the idea, the feel of what's out there
on our campuses, and then your work for what you're
doing to combat that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 14 (01:23:16):
That is incredible and I want to make sure I
do you like your church? Are they biblically based? They
do a good job. Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:23:24):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
What is the name of the church?

Speaker 21 (01:23:28):

Speaker 21 (01:23:42):
I have a quick second question, really quick, yes, just
interesting on all these California riots that have started. Isn't
it interesting that it was after college broke for summer?
I mean, are these grandchildren of congressional Democrats leading summer job?

Speaker 23 (01:24:00):
Yes?

Speaker 21 (01:24:00):
I mean are they getting extra credit for college grades?
I mean what the timing is interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
To me, very interesting.

Speaker 14 (01:24:10):
I'll tell you though, that with all of this Irani
and Israeli activity, expect serious pro Hamas protests throughout the
summer that will then intersect. Remember we did an entire
show in intersectionality. People should check it out. It will
intersect with the open borders pro Mexican crowd, and so.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
That that's going to happen. God bless you, and we're
going to check out Chance's case. Thank you, Thank you, sir.

I like to ask, if you see the Department of
Justice getting some sort of win through the administration A
g office, in their opinion, looks very foolish, so and

see more indictments and more investigations. And I think that Look,
they've been in for five months. I think we need
to have a full release of the Epstein files. I

(01:30:19):
said that for quite some time. I think we need
to start seeing some accountability.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
And there's been a.

There's a lot of material there of people that have
acted improperly. We need to start to get some accountability.
