Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro
Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end
Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to
Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married
Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point you would say, college chapter.
Speaker 1: Go start attning point. Yould say high school chapter. Go
Speaker 1: find out how your church can get involved. Sign up
Speaker 1: and become an activist.
Speaker 2: I gave my.
Speaker 1: Life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision
Speaker 1: I ever made in my life, and I encourage you
Speaker 1: to do the same.
Speaker 2: Here I am.
Speaker 3: Lord, Use me.
Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show
Speaker 1: is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver
Speaker 1: experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to
Speaker 1: my family, friends and viewers.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is
Speaker 4: January ninth, twenty twenty six. We are here in studio
Speaker 4: lots to go over. Blake Neff, Good morning, howdy. We
Speaker 4: are going to be covering the all the developments with
Speaker 4: ice that are happening in Minneapolis and Portland. In Philadelphia,
Speaker 4: there's a new wrinkle there. We're also going to be
Speaker 4: covering the voter ID developments out of the state of California. Yes,
Speaker 4: I said that right. The state of California is making
Speaker 4: progress grassroots movement on voter ID. They just crossed a
Speaker 4: million signatures. We're going to have Representative Calvert there, the
Speaker 4: highest ranking congressman out of the state of California, joining
Speaker 4: us next. He's been behind the scenes pushing that boulder
Speaker 4: up a hill. He's doing great work there. We are
Speaker 4: now at the precipice of a very very sticky, tricky situation,
Speaker 4: and we talked about it yesterday on our Crime Show
Speaker 4: with Jack Posobic. But we are now seeing local jurisdictions
Speaker 4: threatening federal law enforcement. Blake give us the lowdown.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, so it's exactly what it is. So we
Speaker 5: had the shooting in Minneapolis, and we've seen them sort
Speaker 5: of build up to this. There have been a few
Speaker 5: false starts because their rhetoric is like, they'll use aggressive rhetoric,
Speaker 5: but they don't quite cross the line of taking action.
Speaker 5: But what they keep doing is they keep delegitimizing ICE.
Speaker 5: They're calling them messed thugs. They say they're kidnapping, yeah, gestapo,
Speaker 5: they say that they are committing crimes. And increasingly the
Speaker 5: goal is to basically say that ICE is a criminal organization,
Speaker 5: and they will treat them as a criminal organization. And
Speaker 5: I think what we're building up to is they want
Speaker 5: to they want to engineer a constitutional crisis where they
Speaker 5: can just overtly defy the enforcement of federal law, which
Speaker 5: is what ICE does. ICE is enforcing federal immigration law
Speaker 5: by arresting and deporting people who are illegally in the country.
Speaker 5: That is what they are doing. And it started with
Speaker 5: I've seen this play out over basically decades of my
Speaker 5: life because it was originally just oh that it causes
Speaker 5: harm to communities if you arrest people, if you go
Speaker 5: to their church, or if you do like if you
Speaker 5: arrest them in certain contexts, then they won't go to hospitals,
Speaker 5: or they won't call the police for other crimes. But
Speaker 5: increasingly just the attitude is actually these people all everyone
Speaker 5: in the world has the right to be in America,
Speaker 5: especially if they're a foreign rapist, gangster, criminal, especially, and
Speaker 5: any attempt to deport them or arrest them, they will
Speaker 5: not collaborate with that. We already see that with the
Speaker 5: sanctuary city stuff. They won't keep anyone locked up so
Speaker 5: that ICE can detain them. And now they just say, well, actually,
Speaker 5: ICE just can't detain them at all. And where we're
Speaker 5: getting closer to this is we have them now just
Speaker 5: basically saying they're going to arrest ICE agents possibly.
Speaker 4: And this is Philadelphia Sheriff Rachelle billal Dei hire out
Speaker 4: of Philadelphia. And by the way, in this clip, she's
Speaker 4: praising the DA, who's a Soros funded DA, absolutely lawless
Speaker 4: head of this city. It's incredible to the extent to
Speaker 4: which these municipalities have been radicalized. It's a longer clip,
Speaker 4: but she says to ICE, you don't want this smoke.
Speaker 4: So she's like talking.
Speaker 2: Like a thug.
Speaker 5: Well, let's just show the club.
Speaker 4: She's behaving like one, and she is forcing, as you said,
Speaker 4: a constitutional crisis three seventy one.
Speaker 6: Let knowe that law enforcement professionals, real ones, not the
Speaker 6: fake made of ICE. Probably Trump's a new army to
Speaker 6: attack citizens of the United States.
Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said?
Speaker 6: No law enforcement professional wears a mask. Those that come
Speaker 6: into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime. I'm
Speaker 6: thank god for our district Attorney Larry Krastna, who say
Speaker 6: he's gonna lock him up, And I'm saying, now, we
Speaker 6: are not gonna whisk you away for them to hide
Speaker 6: your identity because when you do it there, you're getting
Speaker 6: arrested there. If any of them want to come in
Speaker 6: this city and commit a crime, you will not be
Speaker 6: able to hide.
Speaker 2: Nobody will wish you off.
Speaker 6: You don't want this smoke, because we will bring it
Speaker 6: to you.
Speaker 2: You don't want this smoke.
Speaker 4: So she's basically threatening an armed standoff with federal law enforcement.
Speaker 4: That I mean, that is insane, It is deranged, and.
Speaker 5: It is channeling Larry Krasner, who we haven't talked about
Speaker 5: as much lately, but he was a big thing during
Speaker 5: peak Biden, peak Woke era. He's one of the worst
Speaker 5: pro crime. DA's purchase Department of Prosecutors. He basically prime. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's per crime. He stopped bail. He's like, I'm not
Speaker 5: going to prosecute are thefts, all these other offenses. He's
Speaker 5: a pro crime individual, and suddenly he's saying, oh, I'm
Speaker 5: going to arrest ice agents.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's in arcotyranny as well. Right where you where
Speaker 4: you're enforcing the law selectively against your preferred targets, You're
Speaker 4: refusing to enforce a lot of the law if it's
Speaker 4: your preferred you know, people groups, special groups, whether that's immigrants, minorities, whatever,
Speaker 4: and so this is so we talked about this last night.
Speaker 4: I think it's worth reiterating because you're seeing the same
Speaker 4: thing in Hennepin County, in Minnesota, you're seeing Portland where
Speaker 4: that we are looking. We are looking down the barrel
Speaker 4: of a standoff between state or local law enforcement and
Speaker 4: federal law enforcement. And so the Trump administration now has
Speaker 4: to be zeroed in, laser focused on what do they
Speaker 4: do when this standoff occurs?
Speaker 2: And you have some thoughts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we talked about this last night that the
Speaker 5: left is headed for this confrontation. The left is they
Speaker 5: want this showdown over Ice. And we can see how
Speaker 5: we discussed this yesterday. They were basically thrilled at what
Speaker 5: happened to Renee Good because that is their plan. They
Speaker 5: engineered this. They want these confrontations between ice and protesters
Speaker 5: because they want someone to get shot so they can
Speaker 5: condemn ice. So what they want, what these people are
Speaker 5: dying to have happen, is they want to have a
Speaker 5: confrontation between police and ice where there's some sort of
Speaker 5: conflict and like a cop gets shot by ice. That
Speaker 5: is what they want to have happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally agree, and I actually think they wanted Renee
Speaker 4: Good to be killed, but they know they celebrate that
Speaker 4: they did. Yeah, because we said, now she gets to
Speaker 4: be a martyr. You got this white, thirty seven year
Speaker 4: old woman that was basically a citizen vigilante. She was
Speaker 4: taking it upon herself to get metal in the business
Speaker 4: of law enforcement, obstruct the Ice operation that was going on.
Speaker 4: Apparently she was doing it throughout the day. She's obviously
Speaker 4: been trained, she's obviously coordinating with other people, and then
Speaker 4: she messed around and they caused an unforced.
Speaker 5: I don't think she was a vigil well, I guess
Speaker 5: she actually she was a vigilanty whatever. But the point
Speaker 5: is is that they Yeah, as you said, they wanted
Speaker 5: her to get shot, and now they want another situation
Speaker 5: to happen. They want a cop to get shot or
Speaker 5: and this is the thing, they want the administration to
Speaker 5: be so fearful of that that they'll give up on
Speaker 5: enforcing the law, and they can just say, oh, it's
Speaker 5: a dead letter. We successfully beat them.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 5: And so the administration has to have a plan to
Speaker 5: make sure neither of these things happen. They have to
Speaker 5: do two things. They have well, they have to do
Speaker 5: one thing above all. They have to make sure that
Speaker 5: they assert ICE's legitimate authority to enforce immigration law in
Speaker 5: this country. They cannot back off on that.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: If that means some lunatic in a blue city is
Speaker 5: going to try to force stop them, you can't let
Speaker 5: them stop you. But I would also say you should
Speaker 5: make sure that the left is the first one who
Speaker 5: uses force to try to if someone's going to shoot
Speaker 5: a gun, it has to be the left first, frankly.
Speaker 5: But you can push their cars out of the way,
Speaker 5: you can shove them out of the way, but make
Speaker 5: sure that they are the ones who try to shoot
Speaker 5: somebody first. I think this is genuinely important. That is
Speaker 5: how you ultimately, this is a test of wills, this
Speaker 5: is a test of pr and you have to make
Speaker 5: sure that you win that battle. This is possibly the
Speaker 5: most important test this administration.
Speaker 4: So Philly is a standout because you've got this crazy
Speaker 4: sheriff who's saying, I'm gonna you don't want this smoke,
Speaker 4: which is a direct threat. I will say for the
Speaker 4: in the instance of Minnesota three forty four, this is
Speaker 4: the statement by Minnesota police and peace officers. They're asking
Speaker 4: they're basically condemning some of the statements, the rhetoric that
Speaker 4: are coming out of officials. They're asking leaders to stop
Speaker 4: inflammatory language and respect the legal investigative process that and
Speaker 4: they're saying that they under they stand behind law enforcement
Speaker 4: i e. ICE agents and irresponsible reckless rhetoric from political
Speaker 4: leaders attackinglaw enforcement has real in dangerous consequences. So at
Speaker 4: least in the instance of Minnesota, it looks like the
Speaker 4: police are siding with law enforcement and ICE, so that's
Speaker 4: a good sign there.
Speaker 2: Candles were lit.
Speaker 4: On Bondai Beach by families, by children, by people of
Speaker 4: faith to celebrate a festival of Light, a festival from
Speaker 4: Bible Times, one that Jesus himself celebrated. People gathered with hope,
Speaker 4: seeking unity and comfort and tradition, but Instead of light,
Speaker 4: there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred, showing itself at a
Speaker 4: time meant for prayer and rejoicing. Times like this remind
Speaker 4: us that even with the ceasefire in Israel, Jewish people
Speaker 4: are being targeted simply because of their faith, and times
Speaker 4: like this remind us why the International Fellowship of Christians
Speaker 4: and Jews exists to stand in the gap providing safety
Speaker 4: and security to God's people. The Fellowship brings together Christians
Speaker 4: and Jews to be a light to suffering Jews in Israel,
Speaker 4: the former Soviet Union, or wherever the needs are greatest.
Speaker 4: Together we can make a real difference in the lives
Speaker 4: of those who hope the most. Your gift today will
Speaker 4: help provide the security that God's people so desperately need.
Speaker 4: Visit URGENTIFCJ dot org. That's one word, URGENTIFCJ dot org,
Speaker 4: or call now at eight six six three three eight
Speaker 4: IFCJ that's eight six six three three eight four three
Speaker 4: two five.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: So there is another ice encounter that was exploding on
Speaker 4: the news last night, and it was involving a CPBs
Speaker 4: Customs Border Patrol CBP agent in the city of Portland,
Speaker 4: and it turns out it was another ramming incident according
Speaker 4: to DHS, and the individual that tried to ram the
Speaker 4: CBP agent was a trend'a Ragua gangbanger who runs a
Speaker 4: prostitution ring. And the initial reports were fascinating because I
Speaker 4: said it was a husband and wife, and then there
Speaker 4: was pictures of the woman scantily clad, and we do
Speaker 4: not think that that would be his wife.
Speaker 5: Oh, actually, I wouldn't put that beyond.
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe it is, maybe it's not, but it
Speaker 4: would be surprising. So there are the suspects, and without fail,
Speaker 4: on call on que Portland mayor and Oregon Governor Kodek
Speaker 4: are coming to the defense of the Trende Aragua gang
Speaker 4: banger and calling Ice to leave our city because it's
Speaker 4: ICE's fault that these gang bangers are in the country
Speaker 4: in the first place. I mean, just for example, you
Speaker 4: need to check this out. This let's just a little
Speaker 4: trip down memory lane. Go up and throw up three
Speaker 4: seventy nine. This is the b roll. This is how
Speaker 4: we got here, folks. This is why all of these
Speaker 4: conversations are happening, because under four years of Joe Biden,
Speaker 4: this was your southern border. Thousands of pounds, thousands of
Speaker 4: god knows who, just streaming over the border, coming into
Speaker 4: your country, coming into cities like Portland and Minneapolis and
Speaker 4: Philadelphia and everywhere else.
Speaker 2: With the government.
Speaker 4: Yeah, often paid for by the taxpayers to relocate them
Speaker 4: in the interior. And we're trying to set things right.
Speaker 2: They don't like it.
Speaker 5: Both of these, both of these that was super important
Speaker 5: with these guys. They were both they came here in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, released into the country. Of course, final
Speaker 5: order have both done crimes. Final order of removal not removed.
Speaker 5: That is, in a nutshell, what we're doing over and over,
Speaker 5: And that's the sort of operation the left is fanatical about.
Speaker 5: They are fanatical about preventing these people from leaving the country,
Speaker 5: even if they assault people, even if they rob people,
Speaker 5: even if they kill people, especially if they kill.
Speaker 4: So they are coming down on the side, the political
Speaker 4: leaders in Oregon are coming down on the side of
Speaker 4: the gang bangers three seventy six.
Speaker 7: When a president endorses tearing families apart and attempts to
Speaker 7: govern through fear and hate rather than shared values, you
Speaker 7: foster an environment of lawlessness and recklessness.
Speaker 4: Ah, I can't, no, you are the political movement ideology
Speaker 4: that is fostering lawlessness. You're literally coming down on the
Speaker 4: side of a dude who runs a prostitution ring, and
Speaker 4: somehow it's IS's fault that they're trying to arrest these
Speaker 4: bad people and get them out of the country for
Speaker 4: the safety and lawfulness of your community.
Speaker 2: This is the same thing they.
Speaker 4: Call Trump a dictator or a tyrant or whatever, and
Speaker 4: they think that that just you know, completely absolves them
Speaker 4: of actually enforcing the law in their communities. Three eighty
Speaker 4: This is Keith Ellison echoing the same You hear a
Speaker 4: similarity in the tone.
Speaker 2: Three eighty is.
Speaker 8: A This is an aspiring fascist, dictator, tyrant trying to
Speaker 8: impose by force, will and dominance on the population. That's
Speaker 8: what's happening. And the sooner we all wake up to it,
Speaker 8: the sooner we'll be able to be free of it.
Speaker 4: Blake, what the heck has gotten into these It's a
Speaker 4: freaking brain worm or something, a brain.
Speaker 5: Vital Well, I don't think it's a I think this
Speaker 5: is it is a clatter. Well, it's just it's a
Speaker 5: manifestation of the less values. The left is a force
Speaker 5: of entropy. The left is an anti civilization, case, of
Speaker 5: course they want to Ultimately, they want to bring down
Speaker 5: the United States. They might not really fully think that
Speaker 5: out all the time, but their principles always militate towards this.
Speaker 5: They this is what ultimately caused the Biden Wave. The
Speaker 5: Biden Wave was it was almost an accident of left
Speaker 5: wing thought that at this point they cannot articulate any
Speaker 5: valid reason to keep any person out of the United States.
Speaker 5: They just can't. It doesn't work in their moral worldview.
Speaker 5: They view the United States as illegitimate as a country
Speaker 5: basically because it was wealthy and successful and because it
Speaker 5: was European, and so there's no valid reason for it
Speaker 5: to exist or ago. Anyone can come here and they
Speaker 5: can do whatever they want.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a really like the more you listen to this,
Speaker 4: and I've been studying, I've been spending a lot of
Speaker 4: time late at night, early in the morning watching and
Speaker 4: reading a lot of these you know comments by like
Speaker 4: far left activist groups. These are the organizing groups that
Speaker 4: are you know, putting on the protests, the mostly peaceful
Speaker 4: protests and you know, setting up their autonomous zone now
Speaker 4: in Minneapolis that was just like they had in Seattle,
Speaker 4: chas now it's mass and they talk about a couple
Speaker 4: of different things repeatedly. It's colonialism, it's native and indigenous people, people.
Speaker 5: Of color, big focus on delegitimizing white Western Yeah, white people.
Speaker 5: It is a anti white movement, and ultimately it comes
Speaker 5: down to this. They believe that the wealth, power and influence,
Speaker 5: whether that's militarily or economically, that has been amassed by
Speaker 5: European civilization over the last two three, four hundred years
Speaker 5: is illegitimate. They believe in a zero sum game.
Speaker 4: They believe that the West has become rich off the
Speaker 4: back of backs of people of color, slaves, indigenous people,
Speaker 4: and stolen life.
Speaker 5: This is how life is.
Speaker 2: And they want to They literally want to take it back.
Speaker 4: This is why when we talk about Sea Weaver yesterday,
Speaker 4: if you missed it, check it out. We talked about
Speaker 4: Sea Weaver, the new Tenants' Rights director or whatever from
Speaker 4: Mom Donnie in New York City, and she is a
Speaker 4: white woman that is vehemently militarily opposed to property ownership.
Speaker 4: She is going in to destroy the tenants in New
Speaker 4: York City because she thinks that rent control and shared
Speaker 4: property is somehow the panacea of all the ills that
Speaker 4: are in New York City. This is why people like
Speaker 4: Sea Weaver are such idiots. This is why Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 4: is an idiot. This is why Chuck Schumer is an idiot.
Speaker 4: This is why all of these people that are think
Speaker 4: that they can bend the knee, that they can kiss
Speaker 4: the ring, and they can play along and somehow they'll
Speaker 4: be eaten last by this mob of hateful vigilantes, this
Speaker 4: clannish tribalist movement, driven by vengeance, driven by jealousy, that
Speaker 4: they think that they're gonna get ahead on this, that
Speaker 4: they can somehow make common cause with these people.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 4: They want you gone. They want to destroy the at
Speaker 4: its States of America. You are standing in their way.
Speaker 4: We are standing in their way, and this is ultimately
Speaker 4: why the conservative movement in the United States must prevail,
Speaker 4: because we are the firewall for Western civilization.
Speaker 2: I really believe that.
Speaker 9: This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner
Speaker 9: of y REFI. It has been an honor and a
Speaker 9: privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to
Speaker 9: endorse us. His endorsement means the world to us, and

Speaker 4: Excited about our next guest here really important story that
Speaker 4: we haven't touched on yet on this show, but we
Speaker 4: have been keeping track of it since March of twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five, and that is, of course about California's push
Speaker 4: for Voter ID. This is a ground up, grassroots led
Speaker 4: effort in the blue state of California, and they have
Speaker 4: just surpassed one million signatures on the petition. They have
Speaker 4: surpassed the first benchmark to get it on the ballot
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, but they need more signatures. Here
Speaker 4: to help us unpack that story is Representative Ken Calvert,
Speaker 4: California's forty first congressional district, and after Prop fifty he
Speaker 4: is now going to be He's a candidate for California's
Speaker 4: fortieth district. Welcome to the show, Representative Calvert.
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, honored to have you. Yeah, absolutely, So, why don't
Speaker 4: you give our audience kind of a broad view of
Speaker 4: this effort. We know it's grassroots because, let's be honest,
Speaker 4: Voter ID would not be coming from the top down
Speaker 4: in California. This is a bottom up, grassroots led movement
Speaker 4: and it's had tremendous success.
Speaker 3: Congressman absolutely after this last election.
Speaker 10: We lost two of our campaigns, one to up in
Speaker 10: Northern California. John Torte lost by less than two hundred
Speaker 10: votes and then Michelle Steele, who lost by less than
Speaker 10: seven hundred votes, and we knew that we had a problem.
Speaker 10: You know, we're the wild West of election law here
Speaker 10: in California. Everything goes motor voter. We register everybody, including
Speaker 10: non citizens and people who should not be voting or
Speaker 10: voting in our elections. And we need to make sure
Speaker 10: that we get a voter ID law put on the ballot.
Speaker 10: And let me tell you, the Orange County Lincoln Club,
Speaker 10: I got to give them a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: Carl Demayo, who's doing a grassroots.
Speaker 10: Operation also, but the Orange County Link Club raised the
Speaker 10: first one million dollars all of us.
Speaker 3: You know, we're trying to raise money to do this.
Speaker 10: It's expensive. We've gotten a million signatures so far. We
Speaker 10: need eight hundred and seventy three thousand signatures verified and
Speaker 10: there's a lot of shenanigans are probably going to take place,
Speaker 10: so we want to make sure we have well over that.
Speaker 10: So we're going to looking to get a million, two
Speaker 10: one hundred thousand signatures to make sure that this is
Speaker 10: on the ballot next November.
Speaker 4: So to reiterate, you have a million. You just crossed
Speaker 4: the million mark. We need to get to one point
Speaker 4: two million signatures by March fifteenth.
Speaker 10: Correct, that's correct, and we need to verify eight hundred
Speaker 10: and seventy three thousand. So we want to be way
Speaker 10: to make sure that there's no mistake that this is
Speaker 10: on the ballot in next to the next November election.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Blake, did you have a question.
Speaker 5: I'm just I guess I was thinking about a few things.
Speaker 5: The first thing that came to mind is this will
Speaker 5: probably be the first time in California history. They'll really
Speaker 5: aggressively go through every name. See if they're a citizen. Correct,
Speaker 5: this person's in illeg Yeah, you might see that. The
Speaker 5: other thing I wonder about. So obviously we support this,
Speaker 5: Obviously it will help, but as you mentioned, California, they
Speaker 5: have motor voter. California gives IDs two people who are illegals.
Speaker 5: They do a lot of bad things. They have very
Speaker 5: generous male voting laws, very generous ballot harvesting laws. How
Speaker 5: much will this help as long as all those other
Speaker 5: proposals are in play? And is there any hope of
Speaker 5: maybe overturning those through initiatives, or how should we look
Speaker 5: at it big picture?
Speaker 10: Well, you're right on all of that. This is the
Speaker 10: first step is to get this motor i D done.
Speaker 10: That's a big step, you're right. That's why we want
Speaker 10: to get a million, two hundred thousand signatures to make
Speaker 10: sure that there's no question that we can verify eight
Speaker 10: hundred and seventy three thousand signatures to make sure this
Speaker 10: is on the ballot. It's not going to fix every problem,
Speaker 10: but it's a big step forward for the state of California.
Speaker 10: Trust me, I've seen this thing go south for a
Speaker 10: long long time. So we have a chance finally to
Speaker 10: make an improvement an election law in California and clean
Speaker 10: up the voter rolls, which also is a problem. You're
Speaker 10: right about ballot harvesting in California. It's crazy and it's unfair,
Speaker 10: and we know that we've lost elections we shouldn't have lost,
Speaker 10: probably at least two last election, probably three.
Speaker 3: In my mind. I think Mike Garcia also is subject
Speaker 3: to that.
Speaker 10: But so we need to make sure that we get
Speaker 10: this passed next November. So we're going to try to
Speaker 10: raise the last part of it. California is for voter id.
Speaker 10: The website is voter id California dot org. I would
Speaker 10: you know anything that people can do to help this
Speaker 10: out get it over the finish line.
Speaker 5: And I want to say for anyone watching this, we
Speaker 5: have a lot of California fans of this show. They
Speaker 5: would email in all the time to Charlie. Charlie, when
Speaker 5: will Turning Point save California. Charlie get involved in the
Speaker 5: governor's race. Get involved in this race. We can turn
Speaker 5: it around. All of you people who email us had
Speaker 5: better of signed this petition period.
Speaker 2: Go sign it right now.
Speaker 5: If you haven't well and so you're calling you out.
Speaker 4: You can't sign it online, but you can go to
Speaker 4: that URL if you live in the state of California,
Speaker 4: and you can request a signature form.
Speaker 2: So do it right now.
Speaker 4: You have till March fifteenth, but it's going to take
Speaker 4: time for them to send it to you for you
Speaker 4: to fill it out get it back. So go to
Speaker 4: voter IDCA dot org right now. If you don't live
Speaker 4: in the state of California, chip in. They need to
Speaker 4: raise I think another million, million and a half to
Speaker 4: get this over the finish line. But this is really
Speaker 4: a huge, huge step in the right direction. I was
Speaker 4: just talking with one of our mutual friends, Congressman Teresa Hernandez,
Speaker 4: down at the Lincoln Club there. Yeah, and she owns
Speaker 4: she owns a Mexican restaurant, and she was saying that
Speaker 4: during when the raids were happening from Ice, she said
Speaker 4: she lost about fifty percent of her business because and
Speaker 4: her theory was is that, you know, the Hispanic population,
Speaker 4: even if they had green cards, were not coming out
Speaker 4: out of fear. Right now, you and I know that
Speaker 4: that's ridiculous, But if you find yourself getting to November
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty six and you haven't had any problems
Speaker 4: with Ice or Customs and Border patrol, you think you're
Speaker 4: gonna risk the voter id portion of this to cheat
Speaker 4: an election, even if they're offering you one hundred bucks
Speaker 4: or gift cards to this or that. I have to
Speaker 4: believe that this is going to clean up a huge,
Speaker 4: huge percentage of the problem. And listen, this is becoming
Speaker 4: an issue front and center. President Trump is now truth
Speaker 4: socially about it. He says he's personally going to be
Speaker 4: running an effort to get this across the fifth line.
Speaker 4: Here's just a smattering of some of what Elon Musk
Speaker 4: has been saying lately. Three fifty four. This is a
Speaker 4: tweet that he put up no ID and mail in
Speaker 4: ballots make fraud trivial. Both of those need to be
Speaker 4: fixed to restore democracy. Three fifty five. Voter idea is
Speaker 4: essential to stop widespread fraud. Three fifty six. America should
Speaker 4: not have worse voter ID requirements than every democratic country
Speaker 4: on earth. California, New York actually banned use of voter ID.
Speaker 4: People are contesting that, but it's essentially true. It is
Speaker 4: illegal to show your idea in those states. The only
Speaker 4: reason to do this is fraud. I completely agree, and
Speaker 4: I want to give a little shout out to Chef
Speaker 4: gruhle Down. There also a Huntington Beach represent a resident
Speaker 4: speaking at the Huntington Beach City Council three fifty three.
Speaker 11: When you go to the DMV and you get a
Speaker 11: driver's license or an ID, you register to vote.
Speaker 3: You do not need any.
Speaker 2: Citizenship to do that.
Speaker 11: When you get any benefits in the state of California,
Speaker 11: they send you have voter registration card. You do not
Speaker 11: need to show any idea, proof of citizenship to do that,
Speaker 11: then you're on the voter rolls. Those voter rolls, they
Speaker 11: keep adding people on over and over and over again,
Speaker 11: and nobody's cross referencing id's on those voter rolls. So
Speaker 11: when you talk to Bob Page on a local level,
Speaker 11: or any local any local registrar voters, they're going to say, well, yeah,
Speaker 11: we've got a really great operation on site. We're just
Speaker 11: taking what Sacramento gives us in regards to the rules.
Speaker 11: We can't ask for ID on site or we can't
Speaker 11: cross reference ID. So the problem is in ours anymore. Right,
Speaker 11: it's that diffusion of responsibility is one hundred percent fact
Speaker 11: that you do not need to prove any citizenship to
Speaker 11: get a voter registration in California.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's become so extreme, Congressmen that that
Speaker 4: you know, these election workers are, they won't even ask
Speaker 4: for it. And so the next question is what happens?
Speaker 4: You know, the first question is is the polling showing.
Speaker 2: That this would actually pass.
Speaker 4: If it passes, what sort of enforcement mechan at the
Speaker 4: polling centers are in place to make sure that election
Speaker 4: workers are doing their job and checking IDs?
Speaker 10: Right, Well, the polling is off the charts. Even a
Speaker 10: majority of Democrats are in favor of voter ID. Republicans
Speaker 10: obviously great numbers ninety percent, the independent seventy percent, it's
Speaker 10: seventy percent overall are in favor of a voter ID
Speaker 10: here in California.
Speaker 3: So we're going to pass this. We're we get it
Speaker 3: on the ballot, we'll pass it.
Speaker 10: Secretary of State obviously is in charge of voter lawns
Speaker 10: in the state of California. We need a new Secretary
Speaker 10: of State. We've got a gentleman named Don Wagner, Republican,
Speaker 10: running for that. I encourage everybody to look him up
Speaker 10: and support him. I think California is coming to a
Speaker 10: point where it's that we're going to turn this state around. Look,
Speaker 10: there's more Republicans in California than there is in any
Speaker 10: other state in the Union. People forget that because of
Speaker 10: what's happened in California over the last number of years.
Speaker 10: But we're a big state, forty million people people. It's
Speaker 10: a wealthy state. We're number one in many many industries.
Speaker 10: Were people who live here don't deserve to have a
Speaker 10: government we have, and so we we will.
Speaker 3: It will be enforced.
Speaker 10: We did this in Florida, and Florida turned the political
Speaker 10: system around. I think a lot of it was because
Speaker 10: they have a much more efficient voter system than we do,
Speaker 10: and then we need to have the same kind of
Speaker 10: system that's this a state like Florida has.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's what I've been told is that this
Speaker 4: law is being written to emulate Florida's voter ID law,
Speaker 4: which you know is the standard bearer in the country.
Speaker 2: And it's great to know.
Speaker 4: I'm told there's you know, tip lines if if local
Speaker 4: you know election workers are not enforcing the law, not
Speaker 4: checking IDs, you can actually part of this bill will
Speaker 4: actually include an enforcement mechanism like that where they can
Speaker 4: call in. And I just want to give you some
Speaker 4: you're just desserts here. Congressman, you are the I think
Speaker 4: the highest ranking forgive me if I'm wrong, but you're
Speaker 4: the now the highest ranking Republican in Congress or maybe
Speaker 4: since we're in the majority, you're the highest ranking Congressman
Speaker 4: from California that we have in the in the House.
Speaker 4: So and you are now running for re election after
Speaker 4: Prop fifty in now the new district of District forty one. Correct,
Speaker 4: tell us how people can support what you've been doing.
Speaker 4: You've been in the state since ninety three. People, you know,
Speaker 4: need to give you your your just desserts there, sir.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's new district. It's District forty.
Speaker 10: They've took a district stuck it in downtown LA so
Speaker 10: to get rid of me once and for all, I guess,
Speaker 10: but that's not going to work.
Speaker 3: We're running a strong campaign.
Speaker 10: Seventy percent of this district is in what I've represent now,
Speaker 10: and we're what I've represented in just a few years.
Speaker 3: Ago, so we feel good about it.
Speaker 10: It's it's difficult because they combined Republicans together because.
Speaker 3: Of this Prop. Fifty.
Speaker 10: I did everything we could to defeat it, but we
Speaker 10: weren't able to for a number of reasons. But that's
Speaker 10: why we need to change how we do business in
Speaker 10: this state. That's why we need voter ID and it
Speaker 10: was mentioned some other things that we need to do
Speaker 10: in the future to clean up the voter rolls, to
Speaker 10: get this ballot harvesting fiasco behind us, a number of
Speaker 10: things to because we would have won. Look, we'd have
Speaker 10: five more Republicans right now in the state if it
Speaker 10: wasn't for this craft.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so put up that URL one more time, guys
Speaker 4: for where people can get involved, pitch in, donate, or

Speaker 4: Some immediately immediate improvement, and it's the first step in
Speaker 4: a road to get in that state back. So please
Speaker 4: pitch in voter I d c A dot Org. We're
Speaker 4: gonna pivot and turn our attention to Iran. Blake, why
Speaker 4: don't you give us the update on where.
Speaker 5: We so well? So we haven't talked about it at all,
Speaker 5: And I think probably the funniest thing about this is
Speaker 5: we're having We've had major protests in Iran about a
Speaker 5: week now, and it's struggled to be above the number
Speaker 5: three story in the US. If that Venezuela's taken precedence,
Speaker 5: the stuff in Minneapolis has taken precedence and so on.
Speaker 5: But we've gotten emails asking us to weigh in on it,
Speaker 5: and I think Charlie would definitely be weighing in on it.
Speaker 5: So there's been a spate of major demonstrations against the Mullus,
Speaker 5: as you might hear them called on TV Iranian ordinary
Speaker 5: Iranians protesting in Tehran and a lot of secondary cities.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of various reports on the ground that
Speaker 5: they know they've set government buildings on fire, they've supposedly
Speaker 5: taken control of large cities. It goes back and forth
Speaker 5: on how accurate all of that is. But what does
Speaker 5: seem to be true is the regime is now trying
Speaker 5: to black out a lot of communications. They're targeting the Internet,
Speaker 5: they're targeting other means of communication to limit people's ability
Speaker 5: to know what's going on and to try to keep
Speaker 5: control of the situation. Notably, a week ago, President Trump
Speaker 5: said on truth Social that image three sixty three. Yes,
Speaker 5: if Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is
Speaker 5: their custom, the United States of America will come to
Speaker 5: their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.
Speaker 5: Thank you for your attention to this matter. And I'm
Speaker 5: seeing more of that. You're seeing some of that agitation
Speaker 5: that the US should be ready to get involved. The
Speaker 5: son of the previous Shah Raisa Pallavi, he desires to
Speaker 5: take power in the country, and he's been saying America
Speaker 5: should be ready to get involved. Obviously, people would ask
Speaker 5: us what Charlie would make of this. I think Charlie
Speaker 5: would still be skeptical of getting involved. He was very,
Speaker 5: very wary of the Iran war crisis we had this
Speaker 5: past summer. He was very happy that it was ultimately
Speaker 5: resolved with one bombing run, nothing else. I think he
Speaker 5: very much likes He likes it us not to get involved,
Speaker 5: and if we do get involved, it's the lightest touch possible,
Speaker 5: you know, those quick in one strike and it's over.
Speaker 5: I think you would have liked the Venezuela raid for
Speaker 5: that same reason. It was one raid and it's over.
Speaker 5: That's what I think his impulse would have been.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again going back one step. So this started
Speaker 4: apparently there's been a dramatic collapse of the Iranian currency,
Speaker 4: the real soaring inflation so forty to fifty percent in
Speaker 4: recent months, which which you know this country is still
Speaker 4: an upheaval from twenty percent over four years of Joe Biden,
Speaker 4: imagine forty to fifty percent in recent months, rising costs
Speaker 4: of living. This quickly devolved into a broader political movement,
Speaker 4: including calls for regime change, greater freedoms, anti government slogans
Speaker 4: and this is.
Speaker 5: How many how many reals do you think you need
Speaker 5: to have one United States dollar?
Speaker 2: Oh man, I like a thousand.
Speaker 5: Nine hundred and ninety four ey thousand, No, jeez, wow,
Speaker 5: I was off by a magnitude of thousand. You're off
Speaker 5: by literally what is that two three orders of magazine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's huge. Okay, So.
Speaker 4: You know, protesters channing against the ruling theocracy. This reminds
Speaker 4: me of like when you look back at those images
Speaker 4: of Iran in the seventies before the Shah was was
Speaker 4: kicked out, that you know, it looks almost like a
Speaker 4: Western nation, right, And you know, I used to live
Speaker 4: in southern California. A lot of Iranians Persian community down
Speaker 4: there are very you know, enterprising people, very productive people,
Speaker 4: very almost Western. Yes, they're they're Muslim, but it's it's
Speaker 4: a different variety, right the the it's not it's the
Speaker 4: Shia Muslim as opposed to the Sunni. It's a it's
Speaker 4: a different kind of Islam that they that they seem
Speaker 4: culturally to practice. But you know, this is what's interesting.
Speaker 4: This Sha the sons, the son of the last Shah,
Speaker 4: which is Raisa Lavi. He's making actual so one hour
Speaker 4: ago he's saying, this is an urgent and immediate call
Speaker 4: for your attention. This is image three sixty four, if
Speaker 4: we want to put it up there. Last night you
Speaker 4: saw millions of brave Iranians and the reads facing down
Speaker 4: live bullets. Today they are facing not just bullets, but
Speaker 4: total communication blackout, no internet, no landlines. So one of
Speaker 4: the struggles that we're having here, Blake, is that we
Speaker 4: can't even get communications out of Iran. Really it's very limited,
Speaker 4: and we don't know what's ai. What's that there was
Speaker 4: a building burning last night out, Yeah, it's like a
Speaker 4: government building.
Speaker 5: If there is a deep fake of a of a
Speaker 5: building on fire, it's not super obvious immediately. Yeah, if
Speaker 5: it's not true, because they don't have a robust media
Speaker 5: like we could kind of tell something as fake as jours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone see it.
Speaker 5: Ran who knows.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And we're gonna cover this. By the way, we're
Speaker 4: gonna have a guest on on Monday. I've been working
Speaker 4: behind the scenes to get a really good expert on
Speaker 4: this story on Monday. But this is what he goes on. Kamanee,
Speaker 4: fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands
Speaker 4: of the people, and with the help of your powerful promise,
Speaker 4: he's speaking to President Trump to support the protesters, has
Speaker 4: threatened the people in the streets with a brutal crackdown.
Speaker 4: Now there's reports of at least fifty people have been
Speaker 4: killed in the skirmishes with UH with you know, I
Speaker 4: suppose the regime's UH muscle UH clashing with protesters on
Speaker 4: the streets has threatened people in the streets with brutal crackdown.
Speaker 4: He wants to use this blackout to murder these young heroes.
Speaker 4: So this has been a very youth oriented movement. A
Speaker 4: lot of students, a lot of merchants that have been
Speaker 4: struggling under this merchant merchants, merchants.
Speaker 5: And these are business people, Camel Caro probably probably.
Speaker 4: Like smaller businesses though, right, like the people that are
Speaker 4: actually trying to make a living in Iran.
Speaker 2: I've called and the people.
Speaker 4: UH called the people to the streets to fight for
Speaker 4: their freedom and to overwhelm the security forces with sheer numbers.
Speaker 2: Last night they did that. Your threat to.
Speaker 4: This criminal regime has also kept the regimes thugs at bay.
Speaker 4: But times of the essence that people will be on
Speaker 4: the streets again in an hour. I'm asking you to help.
Speaker 4: You have proven and I know you are a man
Speaker 4: of peace and a man of your word. Please be
Speaker 4: prepared to intervene to help the people of around now.
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's calling for, uh, I mean
Speaker 2: military intervention.
Speaker 5: Last time we did this.
Speaker 4: It was like Libya, and and if there's a way
Speaker 4: for President Trump, even morally to support the people of
Speaker 4: around Araja up and take over their own country, I'm
Speaker 4: all for it.
Speaker 2: To your point, I do not want to invite a.
Speaker 5: Reason for optimism, as you say, Iran is it long,
Speaker 5: It's long been a major civilization. It's a relatively it
Speaker 5: is a it was a relatively more modern Middle Eastern
Speaker 5: country before the revolution. They have they're very talented people.
Speaker 5: This is not like intervening in Central Africa or something
Speaker 5: where it's just been backwards for a long time and
Speaker 5: it's not likely to go well. Iran is it is
Speaker 5: a country that is already in a lot of places
Speaker 5: quite secular on the ground. You can meet Iranians who
Speaker 5: are from that country and they'll often say, yeah, a
Speaker 5: lot of people don't take Islam terribly seriously. I'd say
Speaker 5: it's a lot less other than the regime itself, it's
Speaker 5: a lot less robust than it might be in Egypt,
Speaker 5: or in Iraq or certainly in Afghanistan. So if you
Speaker 5: do topple the regime, I think you're very likely to
Speaker 5: get a secular, friendly government back. But people would always
Speaker 5: ask you know what would Charlie make of this, and
Speaker 5: I think I would share with him. You get talked
Speaker 5: into these interventions by being told it'll be easy and smooth,
Speaker 5: and it never and it never is.
