Sir, these men will parade just like everyone else. They are no different than any other unit. They will be treated as equals. They are not equals. You'll do well to remember that.

First, you quarter my men in the most flood-prone area of the fort. Do you know how many of them have fallen ill with pneumonia? And now this? I will not accept any more indignities. I'm drawing the line.

You dare contradict a direct order from your superior officer? General, these men have trained hard. They've earned the right to parade here just like any other unit in this fort. You can call it insubordination if you like, but I won't dishonor these men by sending them away for your comfort. I ought to have court martial charges drawn up against you. Go right ahead and try.

I can't take this anymore. If there are any bullets left, you may as well shoot me dead. Don't talk like that. We're going to be rescued. Jack and Pierre ran for help a week ago and still haven't returned. They're probably dead. Just like you and I will be soon. If we're lucky. You can't lose hope. We just need to hold on a little longer.

I ain't the one causing trouble. You all are the ones plundering our homes and stirring up the freedmen. It ain't right.

All we're doing is protecting those freedmen from anyone who wants to do them harm. You think wearing that blue army coat makes you a man? You think it makes you better than me? It makes me a soldier. It makes me someone who fought for freedom, for the Union. I think that at least gives me the right to a drink after a long day.

Where are you going? None of your business. Go back to bed. If you don't tell me, I'm going to wake Mom. Fine. I'm going to Nashville. To do what? To enlist in the Army. The Army? In case you hadn't noticed, the war is over. I know the war is over. But they're recruiting black men to go west and fight Indians. I heard about it in town. You? In the Army?

You aren't even tall enough to look over a fence. Who in their right mind is going to let you have a gun? I promise I'm going to send money home. The army pays regular wages. It'll be more than I'm making here, that's for sure. But what about Ma? What about me? I can't stay here and be a sharecropper, working for a man who thinks he still owns me, dying in the field like our old man did.

I don't think it's for you to persuade. It's for, you know, the stuff not to come to pass. There's a lot of conspiracy theory groups that expected the end of the world to have come, and they've just pushed the date back.

Thanks a lot. Thank you. Hey, well, good morning. I'm in west central Missouri this morning, and I'm visiting with my friend Brent Pearson of Pearson Farms. So, Brent, when I think about this year, only one word comes to mind, and it's extremes.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Revolutionizing Ag Equipment: Behind the Scenes with Strobel, Terraplex, and Brandt
It is. That is definitely a year of extremes. I remember being out here. We shot a video earlier this year, and it was raining, and it was wet when we were out here. And then, like you said, it just turned off dry. And you guys have a river on the backside, and somewhere in the middle, you guys had a flood as well.

Revolutionizing Ag Equipment: Behind the Scenes with Strobel, Terraplex, and Brandt

And Brent, just one thing I kind of want to talk about with products that you've used at Change. A lot of times when we think about Change, we think it has to be complicated and it has to kind of almost be over our heads. You guys made a change this year utilizing GrowPak AI and pretty simple. What was your response to that? What was your interaction with it?

Revolutionizing Ag Equipment: Behind the Scenes with Strobel, Terraplex, and Brandt
Good deal, right? Get our micros, get our biologicals, and just be able to get it in the ground without a lot of extra work. Yeah, absolutely. Well, Brent, I'll let you guys get back in the field. I appreciate it, bud. Appreciate y'all.

Not at all. People are usually in their own world.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Mm-hmm.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett

Absolutely.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett

Also, yes.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Not yet. Not so much. I definitely really like the idea of that good self-talk, focusing much more on the good things as opposed to the bad things. Because obviously, That's how our anxieties work. So I definitely like that idea of like, no, I'm not going to focus on all these hypotheticals that have never happened and probably won't and really focus on this good outcome.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Because even if I – I shouldn't say fail, but even if I get rejected, it's still – I feel good about having done that.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
No.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Yes, it does.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
No, so leading up to our conversation, I listened to your Valentine's Day episodes, which I absolutely loved. Great. And I loved a lot of information about the actual method of To the Madness, really, of observation, comment, question. And then, you know, pivoting to your name and then another topic. I love that.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I guess the one thing that is really in my mind right now, especially with, you know, I want to go out and start doing this stuff tonight. The thing for me is I think it feels easier to talk to another person who's out by themselves. But the big thing is always for me is when I see maybe a group of women, say it's four or five, and there's only one that I am interested in.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
And, um, obviously, you know, I don't want to just isolate her just herself, but at the same time, I don't want to maybe have to talk to all of them forever just to get to one girl's number. So do you have any like, uh, you know, tips or plans or tricks or how to, you know, approach a situation when there may be as only one girl you find attractive in a group of like four or five?
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Okay. Okay, I like that. I like that idea a lot.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
And you'd still like same mentality, same idea if it was, let's say, a smaller group, like it's just two of them or just three of them.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I had a situation where I wanted to talk to this girl, and we even made eye contact a couple times. Actually, it was the same night from earlier where I just bought the girl a drink and walked away. But we made eye contact a couple times, and she was dancing with her friends, and they had made like a blockade in front of her. And it just felt like, ah, I don't want to just –
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I don't know how to really approach the situation when I only want to talk to you. And yeah, they're all dancing together.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Yes.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Awesome. I love that. Thank you. All right.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
next question one thing that i would say is like if i if i had like i don't know like a um approaching bucket list i know we hate the a word but just uh you know going out to girls talking to girls bucket list i um would would like to at least try a couple direct approaches and I know I already talked about how approaches always have been some that I've struggled with.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I've had a couple of my college years girls I approached directly, but liquid courage was definitely a big factor of it. So without alcohol, I would love to do some direct approaches here and there. I guess my question would be is when would you recommend doing a direct opener?
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I'm assuming you probably don't necessarily recommend them in like a Whole Foods, but when would you say is like a good indicator that this is maybe a good situation to go more direct?
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I've heard the name, but I've never seen it.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Yes.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Yes, yes. Okay. Got you. So, like, in my personal life, like, I am the king of overthinking things. That is, like, you know, my biggest, I wouldn't say red flag, my biggest critique of myself is I'm a big overthinker. When I'm about to compete, I have an entire pre-fight ritual that I do. Okay. Which just kind of gets me in that zone. MMA, right? Yes. Nice.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
So, you know, I have my specific, you know, motivational podcast. I listen to, you know, mean faces in the mirror, stuff like that. Sounds corny to say out loud, but it gets me in that. I got to go hurt somebody's own. Is there obviously not hurting people, but and again, I may be overthinking this. Do you have like a to kind of get you out of that?
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
in your head mentality and getting into becoming like a man of action do you have like some sort of almost pre-approach ritual kind of thing when you know that you're going to be going out like hey we're going out tonight talk to some girls do you have like your own little pre-approach like uh or just pre-going out like things you do say kind of hype yourself up with that kind of gets you in that kind of mentality i do i'll i'll take you through that process in a second before i do i'm curious what is your definition of in my head what does that mean to you
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
So in my head for me is I'm focusing so much on not messing something up and also fighting with the part of me that just wants this. Let's just go home. Let's just go home. Let's not do this. No, no, no, no. Let's not do this. I know that they say anxiety was made to keep us safe. So I'm fighting with that anxious part of me that is thinking of every excuse not to do whatever I have to do or –
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
wants to compromise by making sure everything is, you know, movie level perfect. And, uh, and while I'm trying to come up with, you know, this, you know, impossibly perfect scenario in my head, she just walked away.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
So I can give you an example of recently. Okay. My gym is connected to a rec center. That rec center has a very big, very popular indoor beach volleyball group or just culture. They do indoor beach volleyball all year round, hundreds of people. A very attractive girl who I've seen a couple times is there. I just got done with my workout. I see she's wrapping up her workout, and...
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
She's talking to friends here and there, grabbing something to drink, getting her stuff. And I'm just trying to think in my... Okay, I want to say something to her. what should I say? Okay. No, no, no. Can't say right now. She's talking to her friend. Oh, I can't say right. Oh, she might go back to playing volleyball. Let me, let me hold up a little bit. Oh no, she's leaving. Okay.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Now she's going to the bathroom. Like, and really, I feel like I'm stalking her at this point. Um, so it's just, it's just me trying to think of like, uh, find that quote unquote perfect moment in my head. And every situation almost has to go through a filter of like, is this perfect? And, and that's just my brain's way of trying to find something that's, Oh no, it's too sunny right now.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Something like that to an excuse, I guess I should say. And so, so yeah, she just walked. All right, see you guys. And just walked away. And I guess I'll say something to her. I see her again.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Yeah, so the problem I've always had, first of all, thank you for meeting with me, of course. I've always had this same problem since, you know, pretty much since I was a teenager, really, has always been approaching, you know. When I was just a quick, you know, backstory, you know, I was that little shy, nerdy kid, you know, loved my, you know, anime and Power Rangers and stuff and martial arts.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I would say, you know, anytime... I just strike up a conversation with a woman I feel attracted to and just not give a fuck. I can say fuck, right?
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Okay. It's required, actually. All right. Just not give a fuck about my own anxieties or what I think other people might be thinking about the situation. I'm embodying courage. Nice.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Anytime... I ask for a number after going through the natural approaching method and conversation of embodying courage. Hell yeah.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Anytime I would say go direct, specifically maybe direct at a more nighttime or bar or something like that because I like a nice pub. Anytime I go direct, direct opener, I'm embodying courage.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Yes, definitely want to get rid of that guy.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
And, you know, I was always when I was younger, I was very self-conscious about my interests and hobbies. And it always felt like, you know, I wasn't the kind of guy who approaches women, you know. I know you talk about a lot of your lower self. I would think of a thousand different reasons why I wasn't good enough at that moment.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
All right. I guess like the only other question, which we've kind of already hit a little bit on it right now. I know I think I love what you said. You can talk to anyone with any time with confidence with courage. Excuse me. Yeah. I guess since I know that that lower self is definitely still going to pop up here and there, I guess. And this is by no means any kind of like a.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
giving myself an excuse or a way out or anything like that. Would you say there's like any, a good idea of like when, okay, maybe right now isn't a good idea. Like I know like obviously, oh, she's got a car accident. Maybe don't say something to her right now while she's sorting those things out. But, um, she's trying to fly the plane.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Think about that same girl. I promise I'm not obsessed with her. The rec center girl? Yes. So I know she's one of the volleyball player athletes there. And so I know it's like they go in and out, take breaks, jump back in there. And so there have been times I'm like, okay, is she done now? And then, oh, no, she's just taking a break. They're jumping back in.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
And as life progressed, as I got older, I became much more confident in myself. I took up MMA and I absolutely love it as a sport now. And, um, it, I, my confidence just bloomed as I got older and, um, and I don't consider myself like that anymore. I really, you know, believe, you know, I'm the shit for lack of a better term, but it is the one thing that never really.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
So, like, obviously I'm not going to try and talk to her while she's in the middle of a game. So that was one.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Right. So they do inter-tournament games like a couple times a week. So sometimes it's a little tricky to know like, okay, are they done, done? Right. Or is it just a break?
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
Right.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
I think that pretty much answers most of my main questions, really. In preparation for us talking, I loved your Valentine's Day series on approaching. Thank you. And just having that good framework. And it's funny, listening to it, I just felt like, this is how we... Talk to normal people. It's like I could have a conversation with like any guy or any person who I'm not interested in.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
It's only when there's a level of attraction added to it. At least I feel like I kind of reinvent the wheel. And I just having that kind of framework to go back to, you know, question, compliment, observation, you know. explore that topic. Hi, my name is John.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
And then going to another topic that really just gives me a concise way to kind of like organize my thoughts, I guess, is a great way to say it.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
went away is that fear of approaching. It almost feels like it's like a muscle that I never really exercised. As I got older, especially in my college years, there were a couple approaches. It kind of just felt like that's what we were supposed to do, for lack of a better term. My dorm was kind of wild. So we had a lot of stupid games between the guys and the girls.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
No pressure. I've never done this live. It's totally fine. I am committed to... So for this weekend, it's St. Patrick's Day weekend. I am off on St. Patrick's Day. So I am committed to... I want to approach at least... I want to say five. Five women who I find attractive. Not just... I'm just saying this because I don't feel anxiety or worry if it's somebody I'm not interested in.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
So at least five women who I find attractive. And I want to go through the A, B, and C of the approach. And I want to force myself to have that two-minute conversation with them, even if I'm feeling kind of stuck or kind of fidgety of the situation. And then just I want to... Part of me wants to commit to a lower number, like, oh, shoot my shot with one.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
But I'm going to say I want to shoot my shot with five. Nice. And because I know if I only do one, then I'll be like the last person I talk to. And then. whether she says yes or no, now I've, now I feel confident. So I know once I shoot my shot with that one, with one, regardless of if she says yes or no, I know that's going to give me that, like that boost of like, Oh, that was easy.
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett
Why You Freeze When You Want to Approach Beautiful Women—& How to Fix it NOW (Live Coaching with John!)
So that I can keep doing the rest. So I'm, my commitment this weekend is to, uh, Again, I'm not saying an A-word approach, but have a good conversation with five women who I find attractive and shoot my shot in terms of trying to get their number or contact information with all five of them.

So there were a couple approaches here and there in college. But for the most part, I really gravitated towards online dating as I got older, just because Tinder and Hinge and all that
How to Get a Girlfriend with Connell Barrett

And I will let you know what happened no matter what. I'm not going to ghost you after this is over. No, I know. I know. So it was great. She's still here at my house. She won't leave or, you know.

The relationship I thought would be the final one, my bride-to-be, unfortunately didn't go that well. So I'm back in the dating pool, and I don't really want to do the whole app thing anymore for various reasons. But as I mentioned, it feels like that approaching muscle is just not there.

So they changed the language to be not subject to the jurisdiction thereof to cover both domestic powers like Indian tribes and foreign powers. And that was all it was designed to accomplish. And there was a whole debate about this. Well, don't we also need to say an Indian's not taxed like we do with the 66 Civil Rights Act?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
And they said, no, that's already covered by the subject to the jurisdiction clause because they're not subject to the complete jurisdiction. And if you're not subject to the complete jurisdiction, this clause of the Constitution does not guarantee you automatic citizenship.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
I don't know the answer to that. You know, the Supreme Court has never addressed this issue square on. Wong Kim Ark, as we pointed out, the 1898 case, it was limited to the children of permanently domiciled parents. They weren't citizens. We wouldn't let them become citizens. They had exhibited their allegiance to this country as far as we let them go.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
And in a footnote in dicta, in another case in the 1980s, they suggested that anybody born on the soil is subject to the jurisdiction there is citizens, but they never grappled with the question in that case. So this will be the first opportunity for them to do so.

A number of very prominent scholars that have actually done the work and looked at the original understanding and look at the original documents and the original debates have all come to the same conclusion that birthright citizenship does not extend to people who are, to use the language of the day, temporary sojourners, temporary visitors. That would include tourists. That would include

Well, I think Senator Roma from Hawaii on her tweet about this indicates the problem. She eliminated the key words from the 14th Amendment. She said all persons born here are citizens. Well, the clause she omitted from that is all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. our citizens. And so the fight is what that phrase means.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
And we don't have to speculate about it. The drafters of the language, the people that proposed the 14th Amendment, the folks who ratified it all understood it meant complete jurisdiction, not what they called mere territorial or partial jurisdiction.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
And if I can explain the difference with an analogy, suppose somebody from Great Britain is visiting the United States on a student visa or work visa or just as a tourist. They're subject to our laws while they're here. That's subject to the territorial jurisdiction. But they don't owe allegiance to country. They're not subject to our more complete jurisdiction that was intended by that clause.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
We can't charge them with treason if they take up arms against us, although that would probably be a crime as well. We don't draft them into our army. They don't get to vote while they're here. They're not subject to that more complete jurisdiction. They've never sworn an oath of allegiance to us. And so President Trump's executive order picks up on that original understanding of the phrase.
The Charlie Kirk Show

And it's not just my reading of those debates. The U.S. Supreme Court said the same thing in 1872 and 1884. The leading treatise writer of the day, Thomas Cooley, said exactly the same thing in his treatises in the 1870s. The Attorney General of the United States and formal Attorney General opinions for the State Department said the same thing in the 1880s.

Children who were born here while their parents were temporarily visiting were not citizens. The U.S. Congress, after a Supreme Court decision, awarded citizenship to the child of a lawful permanent couple from China.

Wong Kim Ark, 1898. And a lot of the critics of Trump's order are relying on that case. But it dealt with the children of lawful permanent residents, green card holders in today's formulation. But the clerk repeatedly says they were permanently domiciled in this country. And so that distinct, whether that case itself went too far or not, it clearly didn't go any further than that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
It clearly doesn't address children of temporary visitors here. And it clearly doesn't address people who are here illegally in the first place. So Wong Kim Ark does not settle the question, as many are now claiming. Honest scholars for decades have recognized that. If it did settle the question and anybody born on the U.S. soil was a citizen, then why did Congress need to offer citizenship to

in the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 to all Native Americans who were born on U.S. soil. The fact is they needed to do that under the naturalization power because they were not guaranteed citizenship under the 14th Amendment. And neither are temporary visitors, neither are illegal immigrants to this country.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
And I think President Trump's executive order is going to force the court to finally resolve that issue in the way that the framers of the 14th Amendment actually intended.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Birthright Citizenship Scam + Rating Trump's Week 1 ft. John Eastman
Well, yeah, no, look, and they even make a silly argument. Well, if they're not subject to our jurisdiction, then we can't deport them for violating our laws. That's just utter nonsense. The distinction between territorial jurisdiction and complete jurisdiction is what they intended. It's easy enough to understand for normal people. And that's what the 14th Amendment says.

Look, I agree. Birthright citizenship is one of the three primary magnets for illegal immigration. Getting a job and making a better life for your family is probably the primary one. But birthright citizenship is one of the top three. And they think they get the holy grail of United States citizenship by merely having their children born here. It's just not true.

That's not what the 14th Amendment said. But look, the idea of youth solely, that's the old English common law, And it had two components. If you're born on the king's soil, you are the king's subject and you can never leave as a king's subject. You're irrevocably the king's subject. He has control over you for the rest of your life if you're born on his soil. That was you solely.

We repudiated that with the Declaration of Independence in explicit terms at the end. We hereby absolve all allegiance to the king. I mean, they could not have been more clear that they were rejecting use solely, this birth citizenship notion. And it was birth subject ship. It was an outgrowth of feudal Europe. And we rejected it.

We instead formed governments based on mutual consent of the governed. And what birthright citizenship does is let people to whom we have never given consent to join our political community, to demand it unilaterally by their own actions, even if they are in violation of our laws at the time they're doing it.

That completely destroys consent of the governed, the cornerstone principle of our system of government.

I'm attempting to codify the 1866 Civil Rights Act. So some people have made much of the fact that the language in the 1866 Civil Rights Act more clearly bars citizenship to people that are subject to foreign powers. The reason the language was changed is because the controversy over whether Native American tribes were foreign powers or domestic powers. And they're domestic powers.

I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
Listen, I'll go with whatever works. I personally think it'd be easier to quick get the border funding passed because I think the tax bill settling on, I think the major sticking point is going to be what spending level are we going to agree to within the conference? We've got big spenders in our conference as well.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
I don't think anybody voted for President Trump to maintain Biden's spending levels. And I want to talk a little bit about that. But I think The easiest thing to do would be two packages, quite honestly, so we can get that border funding right away before the news media starts talking about what it looks like to deport somebody. Could have a few individuals waver on their support for that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
So I'd rather get the border funding immediately. done, and then take our time. Part of the tax thing, I'd really like to simplify and rationalize their tax code. Primary goals prevent a massive automatic tax increase from occurring in 2026. I mean, that ought to be incentive enough. But as long as we're doing that, if we can simplify, rationalize tax code, that'd be a good thing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
But we must agree on dramatically lower spending levels than what we're spending right now. This is absurd that we haven't returned to some pre-pandemic baseline. We've... In 2019, Charlie, we spent $4.4 trillion. Then we have the spending spree during 2020, that was $6.6 trillion. Last five years, we've averaged $6.5 trillion. We've never returned to pre-pandemic level baseline, which is absurd.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
It's ridiculous. It's just not justified.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
No. And my concern is we're not going to have enough Republicans that are willing to do it either. Again, it's it's it's so easy to just say, oh, well, that's what we spent last year. And boy, if we if we don't spend at least that amount, we're going to be accused of starving women and children. So I'm trying to make the case.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
I'm trying to actually tell the American public these are the numbers, because I think we have a general sense that we're federal government is totally out of control. But nobody knows specifically. That's what I'm saying. $4.4 trillion in 2019. Last five years, now $6.5 trillion. Charlie, that's absurd. It's like a family who makes $100,000, right, or spends $100,000. They have an illness.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
All of a sudden, they have $50,000 worth of medical bills, so they spend $150,000. That individual gets cured, but they continue to spend $150,000 and borrow the money to do it. I mean, nobody would do that. That's exactly what the federal government's doing. So I think we explain this. I've come up with a couple different options.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
For example, if you go back to 1998, that's the last year we had a surplus since 1969. This was Bill Clinton's spending. and you take Social Security and Medicare off the table, you just plug those in at Biden's 2025 numbers and interest, but inflate all of Bill Clinton's spending to account for population growth and inflation, we'd be spending $5.5 trillion, and we have a balanced budget.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
So does anybody argue that Bill Clinton didn't spend enough money on all this other crap? If you go back to Obama's 2014, do the same thing, that'd be $6.2 trillion. Even if you use 2019 and inflate it, again, based on population and inflation, you'd be about 6.5, which is $800 billion less than what Biden says he's going to spend right now.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
So why would we lock into Biden numbers and be arguing over saving $100 billion or so? I mean, it's so inadequate. We need to dramatically lower the baseline spending level back to what it was prior to the pandemic.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
Certainly is on my part. I think we need to really look at where to spend our money. I mean, we've got these massive platforms that can be taken out with asymmetric warfare. We got these Abram tanks. They have to. kind of run out of their hole in Ukraine, fire a couple shots and run right back because they're vulnerable to the drones.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
You know, to drones that cost thousands of dollars, not millions. So again, the Pentagon, they're not keeping up with warfare right now. They're coddling to the military industrial complex. The 155 millimeter shells, this is a prime example. Russia produces those things, about four and a half million of them at about $600 a pop. The West can only produce about 2 million shells
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
We get charged $6,000, 8,000 euros in Europe. That's how we're getting hosed, I use that word, by the military industrial complex. So yeah, no, we've got to take a real serious look at that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
Well, first of all, he comes from a swing state like I do. And he realizes that, you know, obviously they lost the Senate seat in Pennsylvania. He'll be up for reelection eventually. I think, again, he's smart enough to realize that that was a big issue in this election. And by the way, who could oppose, literally, what rational individual can oppose deporting criminals?
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
Well, Democrat Party in total, they did oppose that because they wanted an open border. They elect George Soros prosecutors, but a lot of those prosecutors lost as well. So, you know, Fetterman in a swing state sees when the tide turns and he's a smart enough politician to at least not buck these major trends where, again, you can't defend opposing a bill that's going to deport criminals.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
Well, listen, I think vulnerable Democrats, those are up for re-election in 2026. They may vote. I'll be surprised if we get more than six. Because if we get seven, the bill passes. I'm not sure the Democrat Party is going to let it pass. I mean, again, I can't explain that. I mean, I can't explain liberalism.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
I can't explain the way the Democrat Party is taking such a strong turn to the left here. But that's who they are right now.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
Well, that pretty much used to be the tradition of the Senate is, OK, elections matter. A president should decide who wants to serve in their cabinet. And as long as there's nothing disqualifying, you go ahead and confirm that nominee. for one thing you want to work with those department heads. So you don't want to start off a relationship and say, I'm going to vote against you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
So again, the bias always was, if it's a qualified individual elections matter, you'd go ahead and vote for confirmation and try and work with that department head for the benefit of our constituents and for the benefit of America. Yeah. I stopped doing that with the Biden administration because the nominees were just wacko radical leftists. And in the end you say, I can't support that at all. Um,
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
But so it's changed. It's become very partisan. And that is unfortunate. But what Fetterman's talking about right now is pretty much the way that the senators has always traditionally looked at confirmations. And there's been a lot of bipartisan support for, you know, cabinet heads.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
I think so, because the default position, particularly on the Republican side, is the elections do matter. Trump had a convincing victory, and it's up to Trump to decide who he wants serving his cabinet. I mean, whether you like that individual or not, you're not the president. He is.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
And so our duty is pretty much to get in line and go ahead and confirm his nominees, barring some really disqualifying factors. So I think that's the attitude of most Republican senators, and I do expect them to get confirmed.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
It's vital. Anybody who wants to run for president as Republican in 2028 better better help support our president. candidate for the Supreme Court. If you want to maintain a majority in the House, if that court remains liberal, they will redistrict the federal, and we'll probably lose a couple of House seats, and we may never get the 10 electoral votes for Wisconsin again.
The Charlie Kirk Show
I Just Got Back From Greenland: What I Saw
So it's absolutely crucial. America has to focus on this. Democrats will. Democrats will send tens of millions of dollars, as they have in the past, to be the same support from conservatives and from Republicans.

But what's so crucial about this is we have another election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Last time we lost, our candidate only got 800,000 votes. Now, to put that in perspective, President Trump is now the record vote getter in Wisconsin, just shy of 1.7. There's no reason whatsoever that we're running 900,000 votes below his record total.

They'll cost Wisconsinites hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars over the time, probably overturn voter I.D.,

And of course, the left, the last time, turned that Wisconsin Supreme Court race into the most expensive race

elected judicial race in history, this race is going to top that. It's just grotesque the amount of money the left throws at these things.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. On our side, we're paying a lot closer attention to this race than we did the last time because we lost the last one so miserably. But this feels very similar to most elections in Wisconsin, dead even, really close, and it's going to come down to you know, a few tens of thousands of votes, probably. Again, I don't quite understand that.

You know, why in a presidential year, you can turn out 1.7 and win by 30,000 votes. In a non-presidential year, you turn out about, you know, 1.2 million and win by 30,000 votes or lose by 30,000 votes. It's Wisconsin. It's going to be close.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
Well, it does sound, now that I started reading the reports, that this has been embellished. It's obviously not a great look. My guess, this was obviously a mistake, a mistake that I'm sure is being corrected and has been corrected immediately. I mean, it'll be up to the president to decide exactly what action to take.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
But from my standpoint, I don't doubt that this is all being blown way out of proportion by the Atlantic and by the mainstream media. And I also have no doubt that this is going to be corrected very, very quickly. I certainly contact her. My, my, discussion with nominees is follow the Federal Records Act, make sure that all communications are preserved, follow the law.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
And I think by and large, that's exactly what the people inside the conservative administrations do. We certainly see how Vice President Biden, President Biden violates that by, you know, using all these private email addresses, that type of thing. So again, I caution Republican nominees, don't do that, follow the law.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
To me, it's all about spending. There's no way you can justify it from going from $4.4 trillion in 2019 up to $7.3 trillion this year. And particularly when you take a look at the options I've laid out there to return to a pre-pandemic level, whether it's Clinton in 98, Obama in 2014, or Trump in 2019, leave Social Security and Medicare...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
as they are today, plus up the other outlays by population growth and inflation, you've got a baseline spending level somewhere between $5.5 and $6.5 trillion. $6.5 ought to be the absolute maximum we ought to be considering. Unfortunately, the House resolution at most is going to cut about $1.5 trillion over 10 years, which is going to take us from about $7.3 down to, what, $7.1?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
I mean, it's just completely unacceptable. So President Trump, he needs to get serious about reducing spending if he's going to accomplish the goal he's laid out there about balancing the budget. I don't think anybody that voted for President Trump thought he would continue spending at Biden's levels. And so there's a real, we're loggerheads right now at the House.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
I know they want to pass one big, beautiful bill. I think a multi-step process always made more sense, a lot simpler. Get the border funding to President Trump now. I would just quite honestly extend current tax law to make sure that we don't have a massive automatic tax increase on the table. I'd get those things off the table, get them out of the way, and then start doing the really hard work
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
of trying to convince my colleagues, and we've got big spenders in my party too, of returning to a reasonable pre-pandemic level. I proposed in the Wall Street Journal a panel made up of House members, senators, and the administration going line by line publicly with members of the administration. Justify this. I mean, why are you spending so much more than an inflated 2019 level?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Trump Admin Group Chat Leak: My Reaction
We can literally save hundreds of billions of dollars per year in you know, at a minimum $700 billion, and that's not even touching Medicaid. Don't touch Social Security, Medicaid, or Medicaid, and it's still $700 billion less than we're spending today. Why aren't we talking about that versus the meager savings the House resolution would offer us?

And what that means is we need a national reckoning with the truth of what happened, with the weaponized government, with the corruption of the DOJ and the prosecutors, and with the harms and catastrophe. inflicted on these folks. So we need to make them whole. We're talking historic civil damages.

I mean, what I am so grateful for is that by exercising what I call uncomfortable courage, knowing what's right and wrong and choosing right, fighting against evil.

This is a day of incredible victory, vindication, and a recommitment to the reality of truth. I thought it was incredibly beautiful and incredibly important what President Trump acknowledged in his historic inauguration speech. that there is a God and in him we trust. That is what this republic is built on, that there are only two sexes, male and female, that God has created.

And this truth about January 6th is also incredibly important, that we no longer live in the lunatic left paradigm of a false reality about January 6th being an insurrection or any of this other rhetoric that was clearly not only false, but deeply malicious.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Julie Kelly was spot on in her comments about the malicious and unprecedented nature of a weaponized DOJ that waged what was tantamount to a kinetic war against its own citizens. The carnage is that catastrophic and we must have a national reckoning.

with what has been done to these citizens and their families, myself included, and many others, some who lost their lives, who lost babies, who lost families, fortunes, and sacred honor. It was all obliterated. That's terrible.

The Real History of Tariffs
No, I think Donald Trump actually has a lot of faith in the ability of American businesses to compete when the playing field is level. He really does look at the reciprocal tariffs, at least, as a temporary thing to try to force the rest of the world to live up to their free trade rhetoric, right?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
Whenever we raise tariffs, they say, oh, no, no, you know, no, no, you know, please don't raise the tariffs. That's not fair. but they won't lower their own. And an important thing he said in that clip is, and you've mentioned, it's not just tariffs, it's all of the non-tariff barriers to a level playing field. We need to address those.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
And I'm a little suspicious, the Europeans said, oh, we'll go to zero tariffs on industrial products. Well, what do they mean by industrial products? Does that include cars? It's not clear to me it does. What do they mean? And are they willing to get rid of the non-tariff barriers? Because if they're not, it really won't help much to just get rid of the tariffs.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
In fact, their tariffs are so bad that if we impose their non-tariff barriers are so bad that if we impose those on them, they couldn't sell anything here. We have been a country that was the consumer of last resort for the entire world. The entire continent of Europe runs a giant trade surplus against the U.S., meaning we sell them a lot less than we buy from them.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
That was intentional for a long time. We wanted Europe to become a rich partner in the free world. We wanted to defeat communism. We wanted them to join us as a powerful economy to basically make the entire world richer. Well, that worked. Our policy worked out. So what this is in many ways is us declaring victory, saying, guys, we did it. You're rich. Now let's have a level playing field.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
You don't need unequal access to U.S. markets. If you open your markets, our markets will stay open to you. And if you will not do that, if you continue to run these giant trade deficits, then we are going to start to have very high tariffs on what you're doing because the age of one-sided trade agreements is over.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
And I think that's, even though people are freaking out about Donald Trump, I think that's true. I don't think we're ever going back to the one-sided trade deals that we had. I think this is the way forward. And I think that's frankly why Europe and everybody else is coming forward now, because they realize there's no going back. This is a page that has been turned.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
We are in a new chapter of history. So you asked about, is Donald Trump 2018 the same Donald Trump today? I'd say almost. The thing about Donald Trump 2018, I think he was a little naive. I think he genuinely thought it would be easy to get Europe, to get China even, to come along and do freer trade. I think he now realizes that they'll make a lot of promises. And they did this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
Europe very, very much did this in Trump's first term. They made a lot of promises about opening up their markets and never did. So what Donald Trump is saying this time around is the baseline is going to be tariffs. You are going to get the tariffs if you show us that you are opening your markets to the U.S. And the way to show that is that you're buying a lot more stuff from the U.S.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
Then your tariff will come down. Until then, we're going to trust but verify. We'll listen to you. We'll understand what you want to do. Your tariffs aren't going to come down until we see that you're making progress.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
No, I don't think that this is anything like the 1930s at all. And in fact, we were already headed into a depression. I actually think the Smoot-Hawley Act is unfairly vilified. It was not the cause of the Great Depression, and it really didn't do much to make it worse. And Reagan, frankly, was a big protectionist. I know he has a legend as a free trader. It's not really true.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
He did a lot to protect U.S. autos from Japanese predatory practices. In fact, he imposed quotas on how many cars could come into America from Japan. Not tariffs. Literally said, you can only send this many cars in. And that's why they built Honda factories and Toyota factories all over the American world.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
So let's start with Smoot-Hawley because this is something that comes up a lot and then we'll get to Reagan because I think the Reagan legacy is a lot more complicated than people think. So Smoot-Hawley definitely did not cause the Great Depression.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
great depression was caused by misguided monetary and fiscal policies but not by a tariff on imports remember what a lot of people say about tariffs on imports that they're going to raise consumer prices look back at the great depression was the problem that prices were too high no the asset prices crashed in the great depression things that people weren't working in the great depression it was not a period of inflation it was a period of deflation and depression so
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
How can they say Smoot-Hawley caused it? Well, one thing is they say that the rest of the world retaliated with tariffs against Smoot-Hawley. That is a very strange and really almost insane take. The rest of the world was actually moving towards protectionism itself.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
The idea that they would just have been free traders if not for the Smoot-Hawley tariff, that the rest of the world only reacted to the United States in 1930 is crazy. In fact, the rest of the world was going to adopt those tariffs anyway. So Smoot-Hawley was part of a movement that the rest of the world was doing, which was putting on tariffs. Did that maybe make the Great Depression worse? Sure.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
The fact that the entire world adopted tariffs and raised protectionist barriers may have contributed a little bit to the Great Depression. But it was a minor thing. And again, the context was very different than it is today. And what I would say is that the reason why people like to blame Smoot-Hawley is because it was a big, big tariff.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
And people who hate tariffs want to try to assign it to the Great Depression. But real serious economic scholars do not think there was a large role played by tariffs, by our tariffs in causing the Great Depression. Maybe some other tariffs may have contributed to it by hurting our exports. But again, the world was headed into a Great Depression. Yeah. Trade was going to fall no matter what.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
So I think it ends with a universal 10% tariff, maybe a little higher, maybe a little lower. That is basically a revenue tariff. It is a tax to, I call it a friends and family charge, a cover charge to come into the United States. And I think the reciprocal tariffs on most countries will come way down because they want access to the US markets.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
And so we will have freer trade than we had when this all started with the exception of China. They're not going to change and we are going to decouple with China eventually. unless they have some sort of political revolution that overthrows their communism. I'm not counting on that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
So I think we get decoupling with China, free trade with everybody else, and a revenue tariff that lets us cut taxes on Americans here at home.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
Yeah, so one of the things that happened last week was that Trump announced tariffs that were much higher than people expected and much more comprehensive. If you asked Wall Street where Trump was likely to go on tariffs, they thought he was going to come up with a handful of countries, maybe the worst actors, the top 15. I heard people say the hateful eight and tariff them.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
And maybe they thought their tariffs were going to be at lower rates. So Trump surprised the market with much higher tariffs and much more comprehensive, basically the whole world. And a lot of people weren't sure whether he was going to do reciprocal tariffs or just a 20% tariff on everything, and he kind of cut the middle.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
He did a 10% tariff on everybody, and he did what they're calling like a halfsy reciprocal tariff, where we're not tariffing them at the full extent of their trade deficits, but we're doing about half. So the market freaked out. People didn't like it. One thing I've told a lot of people, though, is, look, the market going down doesn't mean your policy is wrong.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
The market often goes down when something unexpected happens, and it can be the right policy. When the Fed raises interest rates as a surprise to the market, A lot of times the market falls, stocks go down. When Jerome Powell gave his famous speech in Jackson Hole two years ago, when he said, maybe it was three now, time flies.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
But when he said, you know, we're going to inflict pain on the economy in order to get inflation down. Stocks plummeted and they fell for days afterwards. And whenever the Fed sounded more hawkish, stocks went down even further. Did that mean it was a mistake to get rid of inflation? No, we absolutely needed to tighten monetary policy. So here I would say the same thing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
This was a policy we needed. We need to reorient to reset global trading. The stock market didn't like it, but they often don't like the correct policy. Today, what we're seeing with this surge in the market, it was at least when I looked earlier, it was up something like the most since 2022, a huge recovery.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
One of the reasons for this is that the rest of the world is not acting as the tariff critics said they would, which was trade war. We are going to just fight. We refuse to give in. No, in fact, the rest of the world wants to preserve their access to the greatest economic resource ever existed on earth, and that is the American consumer. So they want to preserve their access.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
They're coming to us and saying, what do we need to do to do that? So a lot of those reciprocal tariffs, not the 10% universal tariff, but the reciprocal tariffs will be able to come down If these countries are serious about reducing their trade deficits, they'll come down.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Real History of Tariffs
And I think the stock market is, this is a relief rally that the rest of the world is acting rationally rather than just, you know, trade war. Let's put the world into a Great Depression. That never made much sense to me. If a trade war would be as bad as people thought, why would the rest of the world do that? Why wouldn't they respond rationally to our tariffs? And it seems like I was right.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
Sure. Today is the beginning of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Trump announced right after he came into office that he was going to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico unless they did a lot more to help at our border. They need to help on fentanyl. They need to help on illegal immigration.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
What he said very recently was the announcements they had made were not enough, that the time had run out and that the tariffs were going on on March 4th today and that there was no more room for delay at all. Here it comes. We still don't know. Exactly, will they be 25%? That's what he has said. So that's, I think, the best bet right now.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
But it could come in, perhaps phased in, a 10% tariff, maybe climbing up to 25%. Maybe Mexico and Canada will do something at the last minute. But I think it's too late. They had a month. The tariffs were originally supposed to go on one month ago. Trump said, I'll give you a month. Come to me with what you have. They said they made some announcements about putting troops on the border.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
That obviously has not been enough. And so Trump is saying the tariffs are going on. There's also a 10 percent tariff that's going on on top of other tariffs on China. But really what's happening today is a reaction to the Canada-Mexico tariffs. They're huge trading partners. The stock market does not like this, mainly because tariffs do not really get passed through to customers.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
You hear that all the time. Oh, it's going to raise prices. If it just raised prices, this actually wouldn't hurt the stocks of companies at all because they were just passing through and their profits would remain the same.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
What we're seeing is actually a confirmation of what we've been saying here at Breitbart all along, that the tariffs tend to be paid for either by the companies that are exporting into the U.S. or by the companies that are importing. In other words, they hit corporate profits rather than the prices on the store shelves. Canada has reacted very badly to this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
They've announced that they are going to put on their own tariffs. That's a foolish thing to do if you are dealing with Donald Trump. Threatening back is not a good idea. And frankly, they have a lot more to lose in this, and they are going to back down. Mexico has tried to be more cooperative. They've sort of led the way here. I expect that they may announce some retaliatory tariffs.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
But in the end, I think both Canada and Mexico realize that a 25% tariff on all of their imports, except for Canadian Energy, that gets a smaller tariff, a 10% tariff, will be very, very, very bad for their economies. And I think they'll back off. I don't think we're going to see a trade war. We may see a trade battle for a few days or a few weeks, but not a trade war, as people are putting it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
Yeah, I think they've come to the realization that despite all of the rhetoric we heard over the past 25, 30, 40 years, frankly, about free trade, that the world trading system is nothing like free trade. countries have much higher tariffs than we do. Countries have much bigger barriers to entry, non-tariff barriers, and that the U.S. raising tariffs isn't the beginning of a trade war.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
It's actually the U.S. responding to a trade war that's been going on for a long time, particularly with the Canadian and Mexican tariffs. Look, we have a real problem. We had millions of people coming across our southern border. Mexico absolutely has to help us with that. And I think Americans are okay with that. They're willing to say, let's do the tariffs in order to get our border secured.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
That's a very big priority for the Americans. We saw that in all the polls. Look, inflation and immigration were the two biggest issues in every poll taken of voters. And so I'm not surprised that they're saying, yes, Mexico must help us or they will pay a consequence.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
And so I don't think we're going to see a big price increase. Look, the Atlanta Fed just did a survey, a study trying to determine how much prices would go up if tariffs were passed through 100% or even 50%. I frankly think actually any pass-through is going to be much lower than that. But even then, the pass-through was very low. So a 10% tariff does not result in a 10% price increase.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
A 25% tariff does not result in a 25% price increase. It's more like a 25% tariff, if half of that got passed through, would result in something like a 0.8% price increase. So very, very small. We're not talking about a revival of Biden inflation. We're talking about a price increase that happens perhaps once and then doesn't happen again. Remember what happened during the Biden inflation years.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
It wasn't just that prices went up when we came out of lockdowns. It's that they went up and then they kept going up week after week, month after month, year after year.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
Yeah, so you just hit on it. Look, we have to send the world a message that we're not kidding around about this, that the free ride they've been getting with a broken US trade policy is over. The American people voted against that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
And I think that's one of the reasons we're seeing these huge investments come in where companies are pledging hundreds of billions of dollars to build in the US because they know this isn't really just about Donald Trump. This is about a change in the way Americans look at global trade.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
So they're saying, so what companies, if they just thought they had to get through the next three years and then Donald Trump will go away and they wouldn't be investing hundreds of billions of dollars, they realize that the situation on the ground has changed and that we are now going to have much, we're not going to put up with what we did for, you know, basically throughout the Cold War and then afterwards.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
So the global trade regime is changing. Companies are realizing this. And look, yes, stocks are down. But you cannot allow the stock market to determine all of your policies. Why even elect a president if you're going to do that? I think in some ways, this is a very good test. If we were to back down in the face of stocks going down, what, 1.5%? The NASDAQ was down 1% right before we went on air.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Mineral Deal Points to One Thing: China
That's a bad day in the market, but it's not a catastrophe. There's no way.
The Charlie Kirk Show
China Should Have Read "The Art of the Deal"
What Trump is doing is a huge opportunity for China worldwide. These tariffs are a form of economic illiteracy. Trump has no idea, really, what he's talking about. He doesn't understand how tariffs works. So what he's doing has put us in a very vulnerable position and probably in the worst position possible. And it's just sad and depressing that more Republicans haven't stood up and said that.

And if they win, they could change this at the local level, too. So that's a huge option. And, you know, what's happening with judges, what we're seeing nationally, that's happening in Wisconsin as well. We need common sense judges that aren't going to legislate from the bench.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
And I'm sure, Charlie, I know you've talked about this, but there is a plan by the Democratic Party that if they win, if Susan Crawford wins, they are immediately going to gerrymander Wisconsin congressional districts immediately. so that two seats would be targeted and likely lost, and that could disrupt right now the Republican majority in the House.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
And you know what they're going to do if they get that majority. You know what they're going to do right away. They're going to go back to impeaching Trump. They're going to go after Doge. They're going to staff Trump any way that they can.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
And that's why this is so important, because all of the change that Trump is doing, which is tremendous, and I'm happy every day about it, but it is threatened by this simple race in Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court race. So if you voted for Trump in November, you need to vote for Brad Schimel on April 1st tomorrow.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
Hi, thanks for having me. Yeah, this story is actually insane. It's a story of Westosha, Wisconsin, which is in Kenosha County. And in December, this broke and I was able to work with the local community and parents. It's just insane. A biological male, 16 years old, obvious male, over 200 pounds, who identified as trans was allowed to change in the girls' locker room.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
Freshman girls, so these are 13 and 14-year-old girls, were terrified. This boy has alleged to strip nude, to leer at the girls while they were changing, and even alleged that he rubbed lotion on his genitalia to, quote, prevent chafing. This I had to do a lot of research before I even started to post this on X and start to sound all the alarms because it was hard to believe.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
It was hard to believe that this was happening in Wisconsin, but it absolutely was putting on a skirt and some makeup, putting a woman face does not make a boy a man. And this insane transgender ideology has just warped the mind of even the school staff.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
These girls, when they complained, the gym teacher told them to stop being dramatic and that it would be discriminatory to not allow the boy who was harassing and intimidating the girls to change. And so the girls started to try to use the gender neutral space, the family locker rooms. And when they did, they were late for class and they got unexcused absences and failing grades.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
They kicked the girls out of the gender neutral space, a space that the boys should have gone to. Instead, the girls were lining up trying to use it to escape from this boy. It's just insane.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
And then it gets even worse because this boy is alleged to have yelled at the girls, pushed the girls, even thrown one of their Chromebooks against the wall when they demanded that he get out of the space, that they told him they were uncomfortable changing in front of him. And the school took the side of this boy instead of protecting the girls.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
And, you know, it's just they were told they were not being inclusive and that it would be discriminatory. So their rights, their safety, their privacy came a distant second to this biological boy who identified as trans. And this defies all common sense. And to prioritize the feelings of this boy over all of the girls. And I just sometimes think my head is going to explode.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
But when parents wrote emails and then they complained, they were, of course, they were gaslighted. They were told, oh, yeah, we're going to take care of this. And then they didn't. And it just, there was a huge uproar. And Moms for Liberty members fought valiantly, going to school board meetings, demanding that this policy be changed. And instead, the school board voted five to two against

And I completely agree with your assessment of these gender-neutral spaces. Because you know what? They've become places for biological girls, actual girls, to hide from the boys.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Most Shocking Installment of the Trans Insanity Yet?
And there's, there are not enough of them. And it's, so it's crazy. They don't want to go in the gender neutral space because in their delusion, they want to be affirmed as females.

There are several emails going back and forth, parents going to the school, text messages that you can see that the girls have with their parents where they're saying, I don't want to go in the locker room. I'm afraid to go in the locker room. I do have to agree with you, Charlie. If this was my daughter, there would be hell to pay. There would be hell to pay. I would not rest.

Hey Dave. Hey George. Merry Christmas. How are you guys?
The Ramsey Show
It’s Our 2024 Annual Giving Show!
Awesome. So my story is a bit of a three part story, but it goes all the way back when I was 13 years old. I lived in Pennsylvania and New Jersey at the time and I was in middle school and it was the very start of the school year. I was in art class and the teacher from across the hall runs in and tells my teacher to turn on the TV. So he did.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Our 2024 Annual Giving Show!
And it was the World Trade Center with smoke just spilling out of one of the towers. Moments later, we watched the second plane hit the second tower. And as a middle school kid, I certainly did not understand what was even going on. And I raised my hand to my teacher and I said, that's where my dad works. That's his office building. I'd been there a million times.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Our 2024 Annual Giving Show!
And he gave me a look, and that's when I started to realize how bad and serious this was. The rest of the day and the days after are a bit of a blur, but we found out, we know my dad was outside of the buildings when the plane hit, when the both planes hit. And he called home, and he left a voice message on the machine, and he told us how much he loved us and how things were really bad.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Our 2024 Annual Giving Show!
Um, he then went back in to help evacuate and save people that day. And he unfortunately was not able to get out himself or, uh, save himself. So things of course were very, very difficult for my family and many, many other families after that. But the giving and generosity that took place for my family and other nine 11 families was tremendous. was very, very incredible.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Our 2024 Annual Giving Show!
And that was the first time I saw giving and generosity at such an extreme level. And as a 13 year old kid, I, I knew I wanted to be able to give like that someday. Many years later, um, I met my wife, my beautiful wife, and we struggled with infertility for many, many, many years. And I, Then that giving and generosity came back into our lives again with love and support and prayers.

It’s Our 2024 Annual Giving Show!
And then another miracle happened, and we are currently expecting our second in the new year. Wow. Again, yeah, we have one on the way. Fun. And it just... it just blew our minds.

Like I have $2,000 or whatever, every paycheck go into like my working account, my daily account. And then everything extra goes into like a high yield for a house. Or do you have any other advice for something like that?
