The Charlie Kirk Show - Why Palestine and BLM are at the ICE Riots

Episode Date: June 10, 2025

You might understand why anti-deportation rioters carry Mexican flags. But why are they also waving flags for Palestine and black nationalists? Charlie explains the doctrine of intersectionality that guides the new left. He also speaks with DHS's Tricia McLaughlin about the ongoing riots and how they connect to the Big Beautiful Bill.

You see, the rioters understand that it's not exactly good optics to be burning Waymo cars, throwing bricks at police officers, all the while waving Mexican flags. But there was something that has been appearing and surfacing at these riots

that is very important for everybody in this audience to understand. Understand the enemies of Western civilization. If you do not understand the tenets of intersectionality, then you are playing from a deficit. This is important for the fight for Western civilization. If you believe that you could play footsie with liberals and leftists, understand that the very same groups that are burning cars have connections to the other insurgency groups around the West. I want to begin by telling you about a 1977 statement done by a bunch of black lesbian feminists in Boston. It was the Combahee River Collective Statement in 1977. It was their foundational document and really one of the first

in black feminism and a critical precursor to the theory of intersectionality. If you want to understand why black women are treated basically as the high priestesses of the Democrat Party, I encourage you to read the Combahee River Collective Statement. Now, they took the word Combahee from the Combahee River Raid of 1863, which was a Civil War military operation led in part by Harriet Tubman. It's a separate issue. This is a bunch of black lesbian feminists who argued that it wasn't just enough that they were experiencing oppression, but we have to interlock the systems of oppression. to create a coalition of the different marginalized groups to rebel against Western structure and Western society. They looked at the world through oppressor and oppressed. They don't look at things

through right or wrong or just or unjust. This is an outgrowth of postmodernist cultural Marxist theory authored by Herbert Marcuse, who was one of the original pushers of this ideology all the way in the 1930s from the Frankfurt School. To try to just make it very easy for you to grasp, it is about merging of narratives. It is creating an all-star team of complainers. It is essentially the NBA all-star game of, quote-unquote, oppressed groups, groups that would have nothing to do with one another. This is why you see queers for Palestine. This is why you see BLM, La Raza, and the immigration groups.

You have La Raza, BLM, and Hamas all working together. And we have image 367 up on screen. All of these groups can then work in tandem with one another. The effective outcome of this and any protest over any issue ends up becoming about every other issue the left cares about. And I just got to read this image. Basically, they say Palestine connects it all. Racism, patriarchy, misogyny, settler colonialism, man destroys nature, environmental terrorism, individual over community, white supremacy, capitalism. It all connects together via Palestine.

It is the glue that keeps it all together. Intersectionality is the connective tissue of the modern left. Intersectionality masquerades as compassion, but at its core, it's a caste system of victimhood where identity outrakes truth. Grievance replaces virtue, and justice no longer serves the common good but kneels to a hierarchy of oppression. In this inverted moral order, truth is subordinate to emotion and merit is condemned as privilege. And justice is not about fairness but about redressing collective wounds even when the individual is neither guilty nor responsible. And I want to show you some of these pictures. At the LA riots, you'll see a lot of Mexican flags, but guess what?

You're also seeing Palestinian flags. You'll see red, black, and green Palestinian flags, including also the internationalist black nationalist movement. The modern activist left is governed by this concept of intersectionality. The word was actually coined by Kimberly Crenshaw about 12 years after the Combahee River Collective, the same woman who helped found critical race theory. The core idea is that all forms of oppression are interlocking racism, sexism, and homophobia. Colonialism. The rich oppressing the poor and so on.

This is the skeleton key of the modern left. It has become a way to unite everyone who has a grievance against the world. And this is why, remember this. This is why BLM, right after October 7th, was supporting Hamas. Remember this? Black Lives Matter, official organization, with a picture of a hand glider, which of course was used to kill Jews and to kidnap Jews, turning into, quote, I stand with Palestine.

What does BLM have to do with Hamas? What does Hamas have to do with LRASA? Everything. It is about the destruction of the Western order. It is a coalition of groups that hate you. Now, allow me to make more headlines. This is the greatest stumbling block for American secular Jews. Just as a side note, American secular Jews continue to fund left-wing groups. They continue to donate to groups like BLM. They continue to march for racial justice. All the while, they're marching alongside people that would murder them and would send them to a concentration camp. Now, many Jews have woken up like Bill Ackman and many others, but still the vast majority of American Jews continually are funding this intersectional monster. You cannot be a leftist

while also being in lockstep with what is best for Western civilization, including what is Israel. And the number one funder of these groups are American Jews. It's by far the number one funder of radical insurgency left wing groups have been American Jews. They keep they fund the colleges. They'll name the names of the schools. And it's a tragedy. It is because they are funding their own demise. And then, of course, the tech billionaire left, but a lot of the tech billion left are also Jews. And if you look in the past, this is what motivates the radical left over and over. The Bolsheviks in Russia claimed they were fighting for equality and progress. But in the end, what they actually wanted was to kill people they didn't like, take their stuff, and then give absolute power to themselves. Intersectionality

is a framework emerged from the lived realities of black women, as I mentioned. You can go to black feminists such as Anna Julia Cooper, Andrea Lord, and so many others. Understand this. The open border zealots of La Raza, the BLM arsonists, and the Hamas gang, they all want the West as we know to be ruined and destroyed and to be destabilized. And this is why Ilhan Omar's daughter, look at this. Ilhan Omar's daughter posts a image, which is from L.A. to Rafah, the colonial empire will be deconstructed. Let me read it exactly. It's very hard font for me to see. From L.A. to Rafah, there is one common oppressor, death to the colonial empire, life for our children. That is a daughter

of a sitting U.S. Congresswoman brought to you by mass migration. We have invited our own demise. And intersectionality explains why you would see a trans activist next to an open border guy next to a Hamas guy and why you are seeing Hamas flags at the immigration riots. And now we have to fight back and pray that it's not too late. Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. By the time the show ends, another family farm will be shut down, not because they stopped working hard, but because the meat in your grocery store isn't coming from them anymore. It's coming from overseas, where safety standards are different and the quality is questionable. That's why I buy all of my meat at GoodRanchers.com. It doesn't just sell meat.

Unlike imported meat, all Good Ranchers products are 100% born, raised, and harvested in America from local family farms.

Ilhan Omar, which is an ingrate, anti-America, anti-Israel, anti-West. And I'm going to read this up on screen here. From L.A. to Rafah, there is one common oppressor, death to the colonial empire, life for our children. This is Ilhan Omar's daughter, as I've said. Now, understand this. So death to the colonial empire. That is a daughter of a sitting U.S. congressperson. Pretty amazing when you think about it, because it is a shared enemy. The shared enemy is Israel or America and is Western civilization.

And they will burn everything to the ground to get their way. It doesn't matter what the protest or the purpose is. Our enemies have infiltrated our country and they've infiltrated our very government. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and the whole kind of cabal that are saying this, they hate our foundational Western values. They hate the Ten Commandments. They hate the promise of the Bible. At its core, it is anti-West, anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-rule of law. And I believe more and more people are starting to wake up and more and more people that used to be liberal and would fund and finance these causes are finally starting to acknowledge and understand what's going on here.

Because this really is a struggle for our civilization. It is a battle for the foundation of order. And I say this as somebody who very, it's very important to understand. I say this as somebody who understands that there is no appeasing. There is no appeasing this other group. And Palestine, quote unquote, is at the center. You cannot be simultaneously funding all of these different left wing groups. You cannot be funding, you know, Palestine is the connective tissue of all this. It is at its core. About the deconstruction of civilization, it is a ruse is what it is. guys were also the very same people that are burning Waymo cars for ICE protests are the very same people that will also be doing the encampments against Israel. Let's play 364 up on screen. ICE was established after 9-11 to explicitly to profile and hunt Muslims. The IOF is a U.S.-backed military entity that explicitly hurts Palestinians. Who is writing this?

ICE is now primarily used to enforce racist political policies against Mexican Central Americans, just as the IOF only exists to terrorize Palestinians. America built a fence along the southern border, just as Israel built a fence around Gaza. All struggles for liberation are inextricably bound. From LA to Rafah, there is one common oppressor. This is an activist online who wrote this. Quote, I'm the granddaughter of Mexican migrants. I'm the daughter of an occupied land. I'm the mother of resistance. I am both witness and the keeper of generational trauma. Imagine having to remember all this stuff. Generational trauma? Get over it.

This is a never-ending war. All empires must end in flames. From occupied to America to occupied Palestine. The self-importance. And again, this is my message to anybody who cares about the West. If you care about America, if you care about Israel, if you care about American Jewry, there is no common ground you can find with the American left. Stop funding it. Stop financing it. Stop supporting it. Stop cozying up to it, period. Because the ideological contamination

is the darkest of all the things that we saw in the 20th century. And I see a lot of people starting to wake up. A lot of people are starting to acknowledge. And you want to know, well, Charlie, why is there a rise of anti-Semitism? I get this question all the time. It's because the left has gone unchecked for 40 years. They will come after the Jews, and that is exactly what is happening. Resistance is futile, as the Borg would say. Comply or die, and they will come after you. And that is why you don't see a single American flag at any of these rallies. You'll see a black nationalist flag. You'll see a Palestinian flag. You'll see

the Mexican flag, but you won't see an American flag. It's because in this inverted moral order, truth is subordinate to emotion. The world is waking up to the power of gold. National banks are scrambling to secure it. According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying. They understand what many investors don't. Gold is real money. Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending, or market crashes. Now, Noble Gold Investments makes it easy for you to claim your share. As our new administration works to reverse the economic chaos of the past, market swings are inevitable. When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to

Visit noblegoldinvestments.com. That's noblegoldinvestments.com. The world is turning to gold. Shouldn't you be looking into doing that too? Joining us now is Tricia McLaughlin from the Department of Homeland Security. Tricia, thank you so much for taking the time. What is the latest of the riots that were happening in Los Angeles? Charlie, we're seeing that in Los Angeles, the rioters are

starting to gear up again for another day of rioting. These are by no means peaceful protests as Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are trying to force feed the American people. Just last night, we arrested an individual who was throwing Molotov cocktails at our enforcement officers, our law enforcement. Americans and viewers should be very proud of them in the face of hatred, in the face of taunts, in the face of being pummeled by rocks, by rioters. They've been standing strong with dignity, with patriotism and professionalism. I'm so very proud of them. And I know the rest of the Trump administration is as well. So let's kind of dive deeper into this. What is the status of the immigration raids in L.A.? And is the work of ICE being deterred by what is happening on the ground right now in Los Angeles and these riots? No, we know rioters are trying to slow

us down. They're trying to stop us, but not at all, Charlie. We are doubling down. We are ramping up enforcement efforts. I mean, these are just a few of the individuals who we've arrested in the past 72 hours. A rapist with a foreign object. A second degree murderer. I mean, a murderer who is trying to kill high schoolers. These are horrendous, worst of the worst people. And we're getting them off of Los Angeles' streets, Charlie. I mean, Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom have been calling for ICE to release all of those arrested. These are heinous individuals who have been convicted of crimes, and we're holding them accountable. We will not be slowing down, Charlie. We're just going to keep going and arresting more illegal immigrants. Let's play 373, please. We need to stop the raids. There should not be happening in our city. It is not warranted. And it does any the only thing it does is contribute to chaos. This was chaos that was started in Washington,

D.C. On Thursday, the city was peaceful. On Friday, it was not because of the intervention of the federal government. So what is your response? It's all Donald Trump's fault. And she says they're not warranted. Your response, Tricia? Well, first of all, these riots are a natural escalation of the fact that Karen Bass and these other left wing politicians have been calling our ICE enforcement operators like the Nazis, like the Gestapo. It's disgusting rhetoric. It needs to end. Our ICE enforcement officers are facing a 413 percent increase in assaults against them, Charlie. But further, our ICE enforcement and our law enforcement are just carrying out the law and getting these illegal immigrants off of American streets. So I think what she's saying is pathetic. She doesn't have

the backs of law enforcement, and that's very clear. I'm so glad President Trump has the moral fortitude and the foresight to call in the National Guard and other military resources to make sure that Los Angeles is safe and we don't see what we saw in 2020, which is our great American cities being burned to the ground. And it's so talk about the pace at which these raids are happening. What about how many raids, how many arrests are we averaging a day in some of these major cities such as Los Angeles or New York? And what like like for example, L.A., we're seeing so much attempts to dox these agents, to go after the ICE officials. And unfortunately, riots like this are putting ICE agents' life in jeopardy when they do these raids and when they go and do these arrests. Why don't you walk our audience through what does a typical raid or arrest look

like actually in practice? Charlie, they're very targeted raids. They typically occur early in the morning. Oftentimes they're at work sites because we're looking at people's day to day, where they are, what they're doing. But we know who we're arresting when we arrest them. And I know there's been a lot of outcry about masks, which is such a joke, Charlie, because these Homeland Security investigators, they're undercover arresting and targeting members of highly sophisticated cartels like MS-13, like Trend de Aragua, and other criminal gang rings who go forth and try to target our ICE officers and their families, which is why they are in mass hiding their identity. But when they make these arrests, they clearly present that they're with ICE. They wear ICE vests. There's ICE vehicles. There's no question who these individuals are. But I do want to add, Charlie, it is such a disservice of Karen Bass and of Gavin Newsom to be saying that these these operations need to end.

What they really should be saying is, hey, if you were in this country illegally, the Trump administration has given you the opportunity to leave now on your own accord. You can have $1,000 as an exit bonus, and you can get a free flight home and preserve the potential opportunity, potentially, to return the legal right way. But if not, we will arrest you and we will find you and you will never return to this country. Amen. And so what will the big, beautiful bill mean for the Department of Homeland Security to be able to increase our deportation numbers? And what is a daily goal that you guys at the department want to hit? And look at those videos. Look at that guy. I want to keep that up on

screen. Those are police officers being pelted with deadly objects and they had to go under a highway. I want you guys to look at that right there. Those are they're under siege. The police officers are under siege right there by illegal Mexicans, many of whom that are attacking them for just driving on the street. The lawlessness is remarkable. They're they're risking their lives for us. And sadly, unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of them are also legal. But Tricia, what will the big, beautiful bill mean for you and your department? And what is a daily goal that you guys want to hit? Charlie, I'm so glad you brought this up. The big, beautiful bill is going to give our law enforcement the tools and resources they need not only to get our arrest numbers up of these illegal immigrants. We know that there's about 15 to 20 million in this country alone. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are criminal illegal

aliens, gang members, convicted murderers, rapists, really the worst people on these streets. But when you look at this, and when you look at these historic injunctions by judges who are trying to hamstring our ICE officers, you look at these radical activists who are only ignited by gutter politicians like Gavin Newsom. This is why we need greater resources for our ICE enforcement. On Friday night, our ICE enforcement was completely outnumbered. They were surrounded by a violent mob. That's why we had to call in the National Guard. Thank God for President Trump. And then on Sunday, likewise, they were surrounded by 6,000 riders, vastly outnumbered. So this is the reason we need. It's not just those ICE enforcement numbers up, which, of course, we want those arrest numbers to get up.

But it's also for the safety of those law enforcement officers themselves and the safety of American communities. Yes. And so the increase of ICE agents has not happened since the creation of the department. Can you reiterate that, please? Which is that every other department in the federal government has grown except ICE in the last 20 years. Yet we've invited 20 million new people into our country, please. Exactly, Charlie. We are vastly underfunded at ICE, and that includes personnel. And for the last four years, our ICE officers haven't been getting pay increases. They haven't been getting the typical treatment and resources that other law enforcement agencies in this country get. So this is incredibly important, especially when they have such a tall task ahead of them

that is a mandate from the American people to get these illegal aliens out of our country. It is a tough job. They're putting their lives on the line. We know there's been an increased amount of doxing. And so we want to incentivize the best and the brightest to come join ICE. And part of that is getting

funding from this big, beautiful bill. And so once this bill is passed and you guys will be able to have the funding to do the deportation effort, as well as securing the southern border, the hot spots in the country, we see Los Angeles, we see Houston, and we're going after the worst of the worst. Can you also talk about visa overstays as well and how that is also an emphasis and a focus of the deportation efforts of the department? Absolutely. And Charlie, as a lot of your viewers probably know, that Boulder terrorist, he wasn't on a visa overstay. He was illegally in this country. And we talk a lot about how Biden broke the border and just had a porous border allowing millions of illegal immigrants

into this country. But we talk less about how they completely corrupted the integrity of our legal immigration system by these different parole programs, Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, letting millions of illegal immigrants in, basically by rubber stamp, acting as if they are here legally with very little vetting. That's been a huge problem because we don't quite know who is in our country. We know that through these parole programs, like temporary protected status, which is a program that was supposed to just be used in extenuating circumstances and very temporarily, those have been completely corrupted. So it's so important for us to have the resources once we end the programs like CHNV that I just mentioned, like Temporary Protected Status, that we are able to locate these individuals. And if they don't self-deportate on their own, that we're able to pick them up, arrest them, and deport them.

Tricia, thank you for your time. Final thoughts here, 45 seconds. What are the biggest concerns facing the agency, and how can the audience help? You know, Charlie, I think that the vilification of our law enforcement is incredibly concerning. If you see an ICE officer, if you see a CBP officer, thank them for the hard work they're doing. These gutter politicians really are working overtime to demonize them and vilify them. And please call your congressman, call your senator, and let's get that big, beautiful bill

passed because it is essential for securing our border and getting these arrest numbers of illegal immigrants up. Trisha, thank you so much. Talk to you soon. Really appreciate it. Thank you.

They have elevated a narcissistic entitled do nothing do-nothing, accomplish-nothing, little twerp brat as the vice chair of their entire party. Now, what has Mr. Hogg ever done? No, seriously. Did Mr. Hogg ever start a group like Turning Point USA? Has he ever hired anybody?

Did he have payroll? I'm glad. I mean this with no sarcasm. And what happened? He survived the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas School. Okay, glad he did. So did Kyle Kashuv and many others. What is the reason you are

the vice chair of the DNC? Because you're kind of like a young, uppity, sarcastic man. Is that why you're the head of the DNC? So they have a major problem. They have elevated chief narcissist David Hogg. Now, I really want to know this. What has he ever done to warrant this position?

And they might say, Charlie, what have you ever done? Actually, quite a lot. I have 1,000 employees. We raise over $100 million a year, like a fair amount. We have 400,000 donors. Like, there's something here. What has he done? Well, apparently we could not have asked for a better poison pill, a better insurgent than David Hogg. This is the, let me get his title right. This is DN chair, Ken Martin, who broke down on an audio call to Vice Chair David Hogg.

Oh, this is just so good. Get your Kleenex ready. Play cut 386. So I deeply respect you, David. I too was looking forward to working with you, but this has created a situation, and I'll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job, and Jessica knows this, the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don't know if I want to do this anymore.

And partly not because of the stress and all the naysayers, right? I'm used to that. I've spent 14 years as a chair. I'm used to getting beat up on. But, you know, this is really everything, you know, from this election, this credentials report and how Malcolm's been treated in this to, you know, the fact the election itself, how Sh and and Gino were treated in this. I'm just quite frustrated to be in this position.

My goodness, what a beautifully accurate picture of the Democrat man. Hyper emotional. You know what he should be saying? Listen, listen, you little brat. You want to hang around? I will pull your parking pass. I will pull your fob. I will make your life miserable. Who do you think you are, David Hogg, you little uppity brat? No, instead, who is this guy? What is his name? Ken Martin? It's, you see, it's the feelings-based Democrat Party. It's very, they must be in touch and have the affirmation of their emotions. This is a perfect example. Oh, this is so beautiful. This is what happens when you don't have strong men around that are assertive, that are confident, that are clear. When you don't have strong men around, then you have crazy people like David Hogg take over your entire party, your institution, or your country. The only men they have left in their party are weaklings, and they just don't see it. They just don't understand it.

From how they talk, as Matt Gaetz famously said, the most masculine force in the Democrat Party are men who think they are women. By far. They are the most masculine thing that they have going for them. And lesbians, I'd have to say, I think the lesbians in the Democrat party are actually more masculine than David Hogg. I think that's probably right. If you, if you listen to that, it sounds like metrosexuals in a cable TV soap opera. Oh, I'm just so upset. Honestly, this is how they run their country. Oh, I guess the border is open. I just, you know, it's just so hard.

Man up. But they don't believe in that. They believe in toxic masculinity. All I have to say is, David Hogg, how do I keep you as vice chair? How do I make you chair? How do I make you in charge of the entire operation? You're doing great. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
