My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college.

You should get married as young as possible and have as many. many kids as possible. Go start a turning point USA College Chapter. Go start a turning point to say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord used me. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts, and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.

All right, happy Wednesday. It's the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm Andrew Colvin, executive producer of this fine show, joined by Blake Neff. It is the day before Thanksgiving. Yeah, we have a lot to be thankful for this year, in spite of the tragedy, in spite of the loss. And I think Blake, said at best, even especially in the midst of what's been a really rough season, we have to practice the discipline of being thankful, being grateful for the mercies of God, the blessings of God Almighty. And we will do that in this show. We are going to spend probably the second half of this hour doing that. First, we've got a couple breaking news stories that we want to get to. First, big breaking news story this morning, Blake Neff, the state of Georgia is basically

refusing or declining to pursue its case, the Fannie Willis case, against Donald J. Trump, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and many others. This is a fitting end, but kind of a whimper in what was a main huge story of 2020. Yeah, I wanted us to start with this because I think it actually perfectly encapsulates the life arc of a lot of things we've lived through in the Trump era. there's how many times of the walls been closing in about you know 50,000 different times there was there was a meme video of the walls are closing in how often they said it in I think 2016 or early 2017 and it's just been in the same way ever since so when Trump was out of office they waited a few years they didn't do anything initially and then suddenly 2023 they thought let's roll out all of these indictments of Trump Manhattan in Georgia and then the two federal cases Eugene Carroll and yeah then of course yeah, the business case, the Carroll Defamation, all of these things to take him down. And a lot of them, they'll superficially

look formidable. He's got four different criminal indictments and all these civil cases. And what has always stood out to me is how every single one of them has some insane flaw, either unprecedented use of the law of law and lawfare,

a total novel reinterpretation. I remember, remember, this case, the Fulton County case, it included in the indictment, that as part of his conspiracy to do various bad things, that Trump encouraged people to turn on O-A-N to watch, I believe, the Georgia legislature hold a hearing. That was part of the conspiracy.

I believe another part of his conspiracy was encouraging, was that he called lawmakers, I believe. He called lawmakers and urged them to vote a certain way on legislation, which I will observe is part of the First Amendment. you're right to petition lawmakers for redress of grievances. I believe that extends to the president. They had things like this. And then in case you've forgotten, Fannie Willis also hired her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, onto the case.

They paid him, I believe, over $600,000. They were taking luxury vacations. They tried to lie about the fact that they were in a relationship. He, I believe, might have left his wife or girlfriend as part of this. There was a whole sort of background to that. All of this I bring up to you again. And now we've come here. nothing came of it. It ended in

total humiliation. They have to drop the case. Millions of dollars were wasted so big Fannie Willis could look like a big superstar. And so many things are like that. All of the Trump criminal cases were ultimately like this. Even the one where he got convicted,

huge problems with it. I think it would have gone down in court eventually. You're talking about the E. Gene Carroll case. No, not the Carroll case. The Manhattan case. Oh, yeah. Of course. And so just one thing after another, they would bring up these cases that are half baked, they're entirely politically motivated, and they go down to an embarrassing defeat. You mean the Manhattan case where he successfully paid back his bank loans?

No, no, no, no. This is the one where they said that he was engaging in, what was, it was the election case. You know, it was with, you're talking about with Stormy Daniels. Yes, yeah, yeah, the Hashmonell case, but they said it was a legal campaign contribution. Yes. To allegedly play. hush money and then they also that it was a felony because he was covering up a federal crime that the federal government had never charged him with had in fact investigated and declined to charge him for yes and then they tell the jury you can just pick whatever crime you feel like might have been covered up you don't even need to unanimously agree on a crime well all of these things are like that and so we wanted to open that because today is thanksgiving well the day and you can

not today yeah tomorrow is thanksgiving yeah thank you andrew and fact check yeah and so so but all this you know this is what gets me is there's a nether round of this that seems to be about to pop off and now bloomberg has somehow gotten its hands on a leak between a uh whitcoff steve whitkoff special envoy appointed by president trump to handle ukraine russia issues he's been traveling all over the world working on peace negotiations and Yuri Ushikov, Vladimir Putin's top foreign policy advisor. So there was a, this is a new story breaking today, Blake, where it is, it seems to be a story where I instantly want to ask quibono, who benefits, right? Because if you, let's go through the paces here. So there was a 28 point peace plan that was leaked, right? First leak.

And by the way, Jack Posobic actually predicted that there was going to be a leaked phone call yesterday, which is pretty remarkable because it came out today, or it came out last night. And there was a 28-point peace plan, which was widely derided by the foreign policy establishment as to pro-Kremlin. So then we get the EU coming in, and we get a follow-up peace plan, which is much more, let's say, pro-Ukrainian. There was basically, you had made the point earlier this week, Blake, that the 28-point peace plan was somewhat remarkable in the sense that it actually included a provision where the U.S. would identify portions of formerly Ukrainian land as now Russian land and territory. That's a pretty big deal. So this one,

the new peace plan does not necessarily have that. It doesn't have a cap on the size of the Ukrainian military. There's other things that would you obviously interpret as more pro-Ukrainian, pro-Europe, right? There's basically a NATO Article 5 type security guarantee involved in the new plan. So it's much, much more pro-Ukrainian. I think the 28-point plan is much more pragmatic and probably realistic where this is going to finally end out in the end. But now we have a leak. And you have to ask, why would somebody leak this phone call between Wittkoff and Ushikov? So the call is essentially, I think, a nothing burger.

but it's being made much of in the press because it appears to them and the way they're painting it is that Whitkoff is playing ball with the Russians, coaching the Russians on how to sell this peace plan to Trump, right? Trump, you're the peace president, you know, kind of glazing President Trump, giving him, giving his ego a boost. And I think that this is completely par for the course. This is standard operating procedure, standard negotiation tactics. And I believe the president agrees. Let's go ahead and play cut 232. This audio that Lumbert has of Whitkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you and get on the good time. No, but it's a standard thing, you know, because he's got to sell this to Ukraine.

He's going to sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. You've got to say, look, if they want this, you've got to convince him with this. You know, that's a very standard form of negotiation. Blake, do you think that's a standard form? I don't, whether it's standard in diplomacy, it's standard with what Trump does. Trump is a real estate guy. Trump is a guy who is, he likes Whitkoff because Whitkoff negotiates the way I think Trump likes to make deals. And I think of how you might make deals in the business world. It probably would be

normal to tell someone, hey, before you talk this guy, here's how you're going to make sure this conversation goes well. That is a normal conversation that you will have if you are in, you know, a business world of negotiation. And I think it's, if Trump says he likes it, that probably makes sense. That's probably true. Finding a healthy snack that's super light and easy to take anywhere is convenient for me

So we're going to play a clip. Somebody created an AI-generated version as opposed to me reading this back and forth between Steve Whitkoff and his Russian counterpart. We're going to play it for you so that you can hear directly what was being said.

And then we're going to relate it to what happened in 2019 with Vindman, the other leak. I don't know what happens with Ukraine and our intelligence agencies. was it MI6? Was it the Europeans? Was it Ukrainians? Who leaked this quibona? That is the question. And it just strikes me that the foreign policy establishment is more outraged at a possible peace deal than they are that our intelligence is getting leaked to Bloomberg. It's an AI-generated version, but I think it does a good job of giving you the brief of what this leak call entails 265. I'm even thinking that maybe we set out like a 20-point peace proposal, just like we did in Gaza. We put a 20-point Trump plan together, that was 20 points for peace. And I'm thinking, maybe we do the same thing with you.

My point is this. Okay, okay, my friend. I think that the very point our leaders could discuss. Hey, Steve, I agree with you that we will congratulate. He will say that Mr. Trump is a real peaceman and so-and-so. that you will see maybe he says President Trump

you know Steve and Jura discussed the very similar 20-point plan to peace and that could be something that we might

move the AI is not good enough to justify that that infliction upon us yeah that was actually the wrong version

there's another one that's going around which is much better but the point is there was coaching going on you don't want a better one because then people will think it's the real one

that's true but I mean this was a phone call it was supposed to be a reenactment. That was a bad version of that. But the point is, they're trying to coach President Trump and everybody's saying, oh, look at the Kremlin's too involved. But this all strikes me as a throwback to the 2019 Vindman leak, right? And there is this amazing, amazing cut here that I'm going to pull up in just a second of basically you have Vindman testifying before Congress. And, you know, then Adam Schiff,

jumps in to protect Vindman, and it is this really telling moment that just is, I'm having I'm having flashbacks to 2019, so you have to have them with me, too. Let's go ahead and play, cut. I believe this would be 233. Did you discuss the July 25th phone call with anyone outside the White House on July 25th or the 26th? Yes, I did. My core function is to coordinate U.S. government policy, inter-agency policy, and I spoke to two individuals with regards to providing some sort of readout of the call. Two individuals that were not in the White House. Not in the White House. If I could interject here, we don't want to use these proceedings. It's our time. I know. But we need to protect the whistleblower.

Oh, need to protect the whistleblower. So this is how this happened, right? That was just, that's such a bizarre episode in hindsight, that entire whistleblower saga where there was someone who was just making allegations against the president that were ridiculous. And then people, hundreds, thousands of people knew who this person was, but you couldn't say their name on television because they were the whistleblower. It was Eric Sierra Mello. That was the name, right? Shimmerlla. Whatever. I can't pronounce these.

So, yeah, he was the whistleblower. He, but basically what that was. was an instance of somebody got a read out of the call, thought it wasn't good, and then accused the president, which ends up, you know, resulting in crazed impeachment proceedings. So this is, these are the stakes that we're playing with. And never forget, you know, six ways to Sunday, the intel agencies have six ways to Sunday of getting you. The, the notorious warning from the good Chuck Schumer, who's now up against it. By the way, his approval rating in New York? Is it like in the low 30s? It's the lowest that he's ever had. He's his back against the

wall. We could play the cut. Why not? 244. You take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So even for a practical supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he's being really dumb to do this. What do you think the intelligence community would do if they were I don't know, but from what I am told, they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them and we need the intelligence community we don't know what's got look at the russian hacking without the intelligence community we wouldn't have discovered it do you think he has an agenda to try to dismantle parts of the intelligence community i mean this form of let me tell you're a super liberal democrat or a very conservative republican you should be against dismantling the

intelligence community no video no video is a better argument for just a systematic purge of the intelligence just fire huge numbers of people at random if you need to. I think totally. CIA, because it's so sinister. Yeah. Oh, well, we only know these things if the intelligence community tells us. And if you better do what the intelligence community wants.

You don't make them upset or they'll get back at you. That's despicable. We live in a republic. Voters get to decide what actually happens in their country. Well, and in this instance, I would doubt that it's the CIA that maybe there's involvement of the CIA, but you look at this, this was a, it could have been Ukrainian Intel could have been MI6 could have been the the five eyes you got to ask yourself who benefits from leaking this call to sabotage a peace plan because they think it's they think that

the trump administration is being too pro kremlin but i i will say it again i think the original 28 point plan is the more pragmatic honest plan that has the greatest chance of success uh europe didn't europe thought it was bending the knee to the kremlin i disagree This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Y Reefi. It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us. His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now, hear Charlie, in his own words, tell you about Y-R-R-R-E-F-Y-F-I. I'm going to tell you guys about Y-R-R-E-F-Y-F-com.

Why-R-E-F-Y-F-F-E-F-I is incredible. Private student loan debt in America total is about 300. $100 billion. Why Refi is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans.

Yeah, we just came in hot in from the very top. So we'll get to the Thanksgiving part in a moment, but we're both very big fans of Erica Kirk. And she wanted us to talk about something that has just bubbled up. Well, I actually commented on it last night, I have to say. So this is not new to me. Let's go ahead and play cut 258. This is Joy Reed pushing the deranged conspiracy theory.

It is deranged that J.D. Vance is going to leave his wife, Ushah, second lady, for Erica. 258. They can't have the successor to Maga be the guy with the brown Hindu wife. They're also Christian nationalist. That ain't going to work. That's why he's throwing his wife under the bus or Usha. or she's in on it, right? And she's playing slap and tickle with Erica Kirk

is a weird of shit I've ever seen. Yeah, she's like in her Tammy Fay era. Okay, holding on the back of his head and rubbing on his head. Some weird shit, don't do that today, said, I'm going to start thinking something's going on. Why are you holding the bigger his head? I'm like, you're not doing that right thing. You're supposed to be a widow.

You're in leather pants. It is. That's not widow wear. Could you imagine if, wouldn't it be the most perfect fairy tale Maga fairy tale If he finally sees the light That he needs a white queen

Instead of this brown Hindu Oh, golly Rubbing on his head Baby, you and the leather pants I'm annoyed I'm a little bit annoyed That you know We had the Megan Kelly thing last week

And they were you know They were praising her because she was a little anti-transit She's just like I remember warning you This is a disgusting woman And she's going to say something very disgusting very soon, how soon it was. Yeah. So I think what's really sick about this, and I'll tell you, is that these are three deranged, likely postmenopausal women that are flippantly turning a moment of shared grief where J.D. Vance, the vice president, goes out of his way to honor his friend Charlie by traveling halfway across the country to talk.

to students at a Turning Point USA event and he greets Erica who just had watched this truly emotional video that the team put together a tribute from Charlie actually to Erica about Charlie talking about his wife and

JD leans in and Eric will tell the story but it says he'd be so proud of you and they hug it's a moment of shared grief and they turned into some sexualized liberal fever dream where they're projecting their own grossness and their own racist towards Usha

onto really good people and I find that disgusting and by the way like it is a true insight into the spiritual core of the left for sure for sure but she did want us to play this

so this was Erica with Megan Kelly a few last weekend let's play explaining this 266 for those of you who know me I never I'm a very I love

hug is like you're an intense huger whoever is like hating on a hug needs a hug themselves I will give you a free hug anytime you want to hug my love language is touch if you will

but seriously that hug so I will give you a play by play walking they just played the emotional video I'm walking over he's walking over I'm starting to cry he says he's so proud of you and I say

God bless you and I touch the back of his head anyone who have I have hugged that I have touched the back of your head when I hug you I always say God you. That's just me. If you want to take that out of context, go right ahead. Again, that to me shows that you need a hug more than anyone else. Yeah. And I mean, listen, she says, God bless you. And it was actually a really beautiful touching moment between two friends and just want to reiterate so much gratitude and Thanksgiving for Vice President J.D. Vance and

second lady usha who have stood by erika in this moment of tremendous grief and sorrow and she's grateful we all are grateful for the way that jd vans has provided such incredible leadership i mean statesmanship uh not only was this a tremendous loss to erika but this was a tremendous loss to the entire country and jd vance rose to the occasion in more ways than one but just think about this this this is what's so gross about this moment is that it's the sneering and the derision and the jeering at suffering of a widow just because her slain husband happened to be conservative and they think they have the they have the right to completely smear uh this moment and and erika more directly i find it tremendously disgusting this we're talking like 70 days away from her going through

the unthinkable and this is their reaction that's their that's there would be their reaction it was their reaction if you looked online the week after they're yeah fundamentally gross people fundamentally disgusting they are as let's be frank Joy Reed is as hideous on the inside as on the outside. Well, I think we dealt with that sufficiently. We've been promising it, Blake. Okay, so there's a lot of talk about the fracturing on the right. I would say that the enthusiasm has waned in moments.

And I think it's important that we refocus and we say, what are we thankful for? Because actually, there's a lot to be thankful for. You do not have President Kamala Harris. Yeah, and it's especially important. We talked about this, a good amount yesterday. We talked about it on thought crime as well, that Charlie and the early Americans both believed

it was especially important to express thanks in adversity, in difficulty. And there's no adversity like what we've had in these past three months. And there's also a lot of adversity on the country. And as you say, the movement fracturing apart. There's people who are upset about one thing or another. There's almost a bad vibe over the country where people have decided to fixate on things they are unhappy about rather than things they are happy about. And this can easily just become a self-perpetuating cycle. And so we wanted to tag, we wanted to reframe things.

We wanted to focus on, this is the end of the year. What are the things you should be grateful for? And there are a lot of them, both personally and there are a lot of them nationally. political level when Charlie was talking at the end of in his Thanksgiving message last year Charlie says God has shown mercy upon our country and we've seen that mercy actually manifest it wasn't just a hopeful thing we've seen one of the things we should never forget to talk about we had a complete a year ago we had a complete wide open border with the entire third world we had a de facto traitor Alejandro Mayorkas running the show letting in gangsters from

China, you know, possible terrorists from Central Africa, everyone coming in. And overnight close the door. President Trump closed the door. We don't have an open border anymore. We have a real border. And it happened so instantaneously and so totally that people allow themselves to forget that it happened. And instead, this is the sort of, it's the grievance mindset. It's the mindset of, I'm mad. There are not enough deportations happening quickly enough. We agree. We would like more deportations. We would like faster deportations. And yet, we're attempting to do them. We actually have the arrest happening. We have deportations being made. We have multi-billion dollar ice hiring expansion to accelerate it in the following year. We should be thankful for those things. We should

be thankful for a ceasefire in the Israel-Ghazawar and the other ceasefighters that have happened for the progress towards a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, the deadliest war in Europe in nearly a century. Well, I totally agree. And, you know, this is the conundrum that the administration faces, right, where they get peace in the Middle East, something everybody wanted. But then instantly, you know, you see the chatter. And by the way, I've contributed to this. And I make, you know, I make no apologies for it. But, you know, then it's sort of like domestic, domestic front is not getting enough attention, which is true. Nevertheless, it's a heck of a job being the president of the United States. I want to, I want to call out attention to one other thing that

were thankful. We talked about it before the show, Blake. And you know, you can be kind of a hard grader. And I like that about you. But one of the things that you gave the president in this administration really hard, high marks on was some of the changes within the hiring policies of the executive branch. And so go ahead and explain that. They came in. They actually, do we have right wing revolution around? There's one back there. Yeah. There's that sort of. fantasy scene because it was written before Trump came back into office where it's describing a possible

day one of the administration with this cascade of executive orders and that's pretty much what the admin did in real life Trump said bring me pieces of paper to sign and some of those he signed he repealed orders going all the way back to LBJ that mandated

DEI they didn't call it that at the time but mandated DEI affirmative action all of these race-based sex-based discrimination nation-based quotas for how you do things and imposing them on contractors on the private sector. And he sweeps these things away. He goes to these universities that have just gotten unlimited money from the American people for decades without question. And he goes to Columbia. He goes to Penn. And he says, you guys are doing anti-American stuff. You're allowing crazy

students to harass people because they're Jewish or they're white or whatever. And you're not allowed to do that. You actually have to change your admissions so they're fair. Otherwise, and you have to have other rules to make sure there's no harassment. Otherwise, we're cutting off the money. There was a new story just the other day. Columbia's worried Trump will cut off their supply of international students. So they're looking to expand their undergraduate class of mostly domestic admits up to 20%. Wow. So more actual Americans might get to go to Columbia. They might get to have access to one of the greatest universities in America for Americans. Yeah. And that's well said I didn't see that story. That's amazing. He got rid of those dumb Biden-era names on all of our

military bases where they went to Fort Bragg. Hey, Pete Heggseth. The fort that trained the men who won World War II. And Biden says, get rid of that name and call it Fort Liberty. I'm grateful for Pete Heggsett. And by the way, I'm grateful that Charlie fought for Pete Hegg-Seth as hard as he did, because we got rid of all of these woke standards. We got rid of the, the, now we have gendered neutral combat standards got rid of all the furries and the LGBTQ poem readings and all this stuff out of the middle i'm very grateful for that because my brother serves and he says it's been like night and day if you look issue after issue there's so much progress compared to a year ago and we'll continue this you have to look at where the progress has been made i don't want to

show the audience some of these uh charlie thanksgiving tweets that are just amazing go ahead and throw up 208 this is uh charlie says happy thanksgiving from our family to yours we are thankful for the gift of salvation our amazing children and god's mercy on our great country this year take a moment today to be grateful that we did it by god's grace alone we took our country back uh here's one from november of 2020 uh throw up 209 jesus christ is the king of the world he died for you this thanksgiving give your life to christ how about this from november 24 217 psalm 100 verse four, enter his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him. Bless his name. And here's yet another 219. This is from last November. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude this Thanksgiving. What a time to be alive. Charlie was an expert at being grateful with a whole movement full of people that are really good at being not so grateful, maybe being a little negative, kivetching, whatever word you want to put on it. Charlie modeled for all of us.

gratitude and thanksgiving and always looking up to God, which is truly the model from the first Thanksgiving and onward, even in Abraham Lincoln's declaration of the first Thanksgiving, it was always looking to God and being grateful to the Almighty for the providential hand that he's had on this country. Many of the pilgrims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving weren't there, I think even a year later, and they did it anyway. And our country has a history of fasting and prayer and especially in the early days of the founders. And so we need to model what they handed down to us, be grateful for the many blessings.

And we're going to continue talking about some of our favorite things that we're thankful for this year because there is much to be grateful for. All right, I'm going to say one of the things that I'm really happy about, actually. Charlie ended up becoming really convinced about the big beautiful bill. Now, I know that it was contentious.

It was a tough road to get there. But guess what? it funded ice expanded ice and it funded our border security huge huge win ice was one of the few areas of the u.s government that had not ever expanded since its uh since its founding so since ice had come onto the scene it had not grown they had not added personnel we got that done with the one big beautiful bill act and i am very very happy about that the ice expansion in particular i'm just looking through i encourage you go look up list of executive orders in the trump administration Maybe even look up what Democrats are complaining about from the Trump admin.

You might find some stuff you like quite a bit. I'm just looking through here. We got, so as of August, at least 21 transgender hospitals or clinics had closed the doors, including the largest one in the country in Los Angeles. Just, again, it's like the border. It's almost an overnight total 180 degrees swerve from something that was incredibly evil. and now I'm so annoyed because I'll run in you'll see people who will say

actually that issue was always a distraction that issue that issue doesn't really matter much it mattered a lot they were mutilating children they still want to do it they're fanatical about it the scale of the evil how sinister it was the scale of the lie they had to tell

that you could just a boy could just become a girl or the other way around was so unthinkable and the fact that we actually don't talk about it nearly as much anymore other than the occasional, oh, a guy goes into a girl's locker room or something. In L.A. Things have gotten so drastically better.

And that's so heavily due to who we have in the White House, who we have making policy in this country, who we have setting the conversation. And that is an amazing mercy on our country. How about this? Core inflation is down to 2.1, the lowest since Trump's first term. Egg prices are down 53%. I think I saw gas is the cheapest. Get this. There's it.

The cheapest gas in the country, Oklahoma, $250 a gallon. But you can get it here in Phoenix at $319 a gallon. $319? That's pretty low for Phoenix. Yeah. We had, you know, U.S.AID. USAID. Totally got.
