Now, here's the craziest thing, Charlie. Keep in mind, these individuals, ICE knew where they were at, and they were openly still walking on our street underneath the Biden administration. The Biden administration refused to pick them up. On day one... President Trump went and rounded up more serious criminals and murderers than the Biden administration did in four years.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
Keep in mind, these individuals were out on the streets and ICE knew exactly where they're at. That's why they were able to do it on day one. What they're also not telling there is they also went into the prisons. And ICE arrested and started the deportation of an additional 300 murderers and rapists that was in our prison systems.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
That once again, the Biden administration knew they were there and they chose to leave them inside the United States. It really blows your mind to think that the administration, that the outgoing president of the United States underneath Biden refused to enforce the rule of law.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
I heard from several border agents that I've become friends with of my trips to the border that all came back and they said the same thing I said earlier today. It's a new day in America when they're actually able to do their job. And the morale increased by a thousand percent yesterday with our border patrol just because we have a new sheriff in the White House.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
Well, the president has made it very clear he wants one big, beautiful bill, which allows us to negotiate more. Now, the House is real good about bogging down on big bills. But when you start looking at the different facets that we've got to deal with in the House, and I'll use Chip Roy, for example, in Texas. Chip, you know, very important to have border control and very important to have energy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
But at the same time, he's want to do something that's very difficult. He's wanting to offset salt increase for states like New York by raising corporate taxes, which that's a nonstarter for the president, a nonstarter for me. But it's about negotiating. And so if we were to do one big bill, it allows us to negotiate a little bit more by having more pieces in there.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
And it's got something for everybody. But I don't believe the House is going to be able to do it, so we're actually doing a contingency plan in the Senate to say if they can't do that, then we will start the two bills. And the reason why we have to do two bills in the Senate is because we can't do taxes. Taxes has to originate in the House chamber, not in the Senate.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
So we would have to do border taxes. do energy and do national security in the Senate, we can originate that. But then the second half of that bill, we'd still have to wait on the House because it has taxes.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
And Charlie, I got to say something. I'm cool because my kids love you. And just the fact that you and I become friends. Now, all of a sudden, I'm a cool dad. So thank you for giving me that opportunity.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
It does. I've been on going to these liberal medias because we kind of have to to get our message out there right. And I was on CNN. They asked me what the day felt like. And I said, man, sunrise was beautiful. The air in my lungs tasted better. And my protein shake was awesome. It just seems like there's a tremendous amount of hope and optimism and excitement for this golden age we're going in.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
And I tell you, it sure feels a heck of a lot better than it did four years ago.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
Well, it's not just Oklahoma. It's North Dakota. It's Texas. It's Pennsylvania. It's all of our energy states, including California. People forget California is actually an energy state.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
When we declared a national emergency, what it does is it puts that permit reform that we've been trying to pass in Congress for a long time, it puts it in hyperspeed where we don't have to add the permit reforms, where we just simply can bypass a lot of the stuff that is happening with pipelines. People don't really think about pipelines being...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
about energy but it's one of the biggest choke points that the biden administration put in place one thing they did when they immediately went in is they declassified a lot of the pipelines in instead of allowing them to run at 100 capacity they put them at 20 on new ones they dropped some to 50 capacity so they changed the permitting process it brings that back to full uh to to full capacity
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
And it allows us to move the product faster. As you know, Charlie, that brings down the cost of energy when you're able to get the product to the system faster without competing on the same level. At the same time, it starts opening up public lands where the Biden administration basically eliminated the ability to get permits on public land.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
It opens up Alaska again, which Alaska is a huge economic engine that the Biden administration just collapsed and killed. And then it opens up offshore drilling to where as the president was leaving. And keep in mind, the executive order to make it a national security issue was a way to go around the executive order.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
that the outgoing Biden administration put in place that basically took all of our waters up to international and said there was a moratorium on offshore drilling. And the president, very smart, and I'm sure he had great people around him that was advising him on this too, by declaring it a national emergency, it takes it off the table and we can drill again until we get to energy independence.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
And when we become the exporter, It puts us as a much stronger position, and what a lot of people don't realize, too, is we're still importing petroleum products from Russia. So we're still funding the war in Ukraine that we're funding Ukraine to fight against, and then we're funding Russia. So this takes that actually off the plate, too.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
Yeah, we do, and we needed to use it more strategically too. A lot of people think Saudi Arabia is being the oil capital of the world. The United States is the oil capital of the world. We have more reserves from oil, natural gas, and rare earth minerals underneath our feet, but because of the environmental movement, it has put us at a huge disadvantage.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
But one thing that we don't talk about, Charlie, is what Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, these other countries do by setting up a sovereign wealth fund for their country by the reserves that they have. Let's think if we re-look at the way that we do public land permitting.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
Instead of just simply giving the permitting to the oil and gas companies, and we have a one-time fee where they get the permit, we sell it, and then they go on. What if we actually entered a partnership like you do with private land, like I do on my own private land? I control the mineral rights and I get a percentage of the minerals that are pulled off the land.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
What if we did that with the United States on the public lands, and then we started applying that 100% to our national debt, and we start using the natural resources we have to pay off our national debt? Because you know Congress is never going to be trusted with actually being able to do our budget because we're going to be playing these games.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bravest President of All Time
We're going to have a 10-year balanced budget, which we've been doing 10-year balanced budgets forever, and we still haven't balanced it. But if we directly took the resources we have and said that those funds had to be applied to national debt, we could actually see in our lifetime, Charlie, you and I, the country could be out of debt.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Yeah, so I'll have to – I mean, I know you're not that familiar with wrestling, but Dan Gable, 1970 upset – The famed coach from Iowa was probably the biggest upset. He was undefeated, lost his very last match. Undefeated ever. Never lost a match in his life. He lost the finals in 1970. That's probably, for most true wrestling fans, that's probably the biggest upset. But Wyatt Henderson...
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
He was, that was the largest upset in our lifetime. I mean, Gable Stevenson was just presumable to, it was presumed to win. I mean, Olympic champion, undefeated NCAA wrestler, two-time national champion, got drafted into the NFL, went and left college to go to WWE, just a heck of an athlete.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
And to see, if you understood the backstory of Wyatt, keep in mind, the academies, they don't have a fifth-year senior. So the idea that he was able to wrestle his fifth year was remarkable to begin with, and I'll tell you, we had to work with the Secretary of Air Force closely to do that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
I got to know Wyatt two years earlier, and the president met him two years earlier in Tulsa when he was at the NCAA tournament with us. And I told them then, I said, Wyatt can be a national champion.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
He'll be the greatest recruiter that Air Force have had if you'll just allow us to have his orders move to the WCAP program rather than being moved to Florida and start his career as a second lieutenant. And then to see the President of the United States there with him. Now, my two boys that you met yesterday, they're 125-pounder and 133-pounder for Oklahoma State. So they wrestle with Wyatt.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Wyatt lived here in the summer. But to see him win with the president of the United States there is why it says my boss's boss's boss. And then to win in that fashion and stand up and salute the president of the United States, that was epic, remarkable. That's why the dude is called Captain America. And you met him. He's a freak of a specific human being.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
But the budget is just the vehicle to move on to reconciliation. People want to know how we're going to get all the doge cuts. You can't get doge cuts through the budget. The reconciliation is where the doge cuts come in. So we got to get the budget passed first. And the budgets are going to be different between the House and between the Senate.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Because of this ridiculous thing called the bird rule that we have to fit things into, the house, they don't have to deal with it. So as an example, they can walk through an open garage. We have to close the garage door and break the glass out the top of the garage door and crawl through the window because of the crazy bird rule we have to deal with through reconciliation.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
So we're going to do the Voteroma Friday or Saturday, Friday night or Saturday, start at Saturday, which is just where the Democrats put all these ridiculous amendments on there. People are concerned about the cuts. Mind you, the big differences you're going to have between the House budget and the Senate budget is taxes.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
So the tax plan underneath the House one is they're going over current taxes. Law, tax law, meaning current law, meaning that all the taxes are going to expire, all the TCGA, what is it, TCGA, whatever, the President Trump's tax package from 2017, TCGA, I think is what it's called. Yeah, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, yeah. Yes.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
What they're going to do is they're going to say that, hey, the tax law is going to expire, we're going to add it back on, and then we're going to extend it for eight years. What we're saying is that, no, we're not gonna say it's gonna expire. We're gonna have current tax policy. We're gonna keep the current tax level in place. And then we're gonna make it permanent so it never expires.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Then they have $1.5 trillion in cuts over 10 years. Our target is $2 trillion in cuts. Now, if you read the budget, which we will be releasing probably tomorrow, it will talk about billions, but billions is on top of making the tax cuts permanent.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
But because we have to go through the Byrd rule, and I know this is getting wonky, we have to put instructions to the committees on what they're supposed to do. Once we get those instructions, then we set the target date, but we can't do that until after we get the budget passed through reconciliation. Then we actually do the target of what we expect each committee to actual cut.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Our target is $2 trillion. What Rick Scott is wanting to do is up to $10 trillion, which probably isn't feasible for us to do, but we'll land somewhere in between there. So by the time we're done with reconciliation, we'll cut more than the House budget is.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
But you just have to be patient with us and make sure that we can get the budget passed, because without the budget passed, we can never get to reconciliation to begin with.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Well, first of all, people support President Trump and understand President Trump is not looking at this like a politician. The reason why we've allowed these countries to take advantage of us is because no one had the stones to stand up to these other countries and quit letting them take advantage of us.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
We understand that President Trump is looking at this as long term, not just to the next election. but long-term. So that's our future economy. We're talking about a generational change in our economy. For the last 40 years, we've allowed, actually the last 60 years, we've allowed countries to take advantage of our true economy, which is the strongest and the best economy in the world.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
And what we've done is made these other countries rich. China wouldn't exist if they didn't have access to us. The president is saying it's time to right the wrong. So yes, there's going to be a little short-term gain, or short-term pain, but it's going to be a long-term gain for us in our economy because the president understands the economy better than any other president out there.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
So let's talk about what's going to happen. When we start talking about reciprocal tariffs, not just tariffs that are one for one. For instance, I use Japan for this. Japan has zero tariffs on American manufactured vehicles going into Japan. However, you cannot actually buy an American-made vehicle in Japan because of their rules.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
So even though they have zero tariffs, you cannot find a single dealership in Japan that sells Fords and Chevys. but we have Japan vehicles driving all over our country. So what the president is saying, reciprocal means not only do you have the same tariff level, but we have the same access to your economy. If you want access to us, we're gonna have access to you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
If you want free trade with us and free access to our economy, we want free trade with you and access to your economy too, because we know that America can compete and actually beat any other country out there on manufacturing goods. And for farmers and ranchers, Charlie, I'm a rancher, generational rancher. We've been in our land raising cattle since the 1840s. Is the market great? No.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Is it wonderful right now? No. But you can talk to any farmer and any rancher out there right now. They're tired of countries like Brazil and like Canada and even Mexico that are subsidizing their farmers and giving them access to our market, which is driving down our prices.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Well, you got to have regulation reform because regulation can be a tax on the consumer too and tax on the manufacturer. So if we have zero taxes on manufacturers and we have high regulations, it doesn't make any difference. But the developed world average for taxes on corporations, 15%. We're sitting at 21%.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Yet people still want to do business with us because they want to have access to our economy. So we have to we got to hold the taxes for corporations at where they're at. We can't increase like Chip Roy wants to increase corporate tax rates. We can't do that because we still got to be competitive. At the same time, we've got to have labor tax rates that are actually favorable to corporations.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
The Democrats are out there saying that we're going to cut taxes for billionaires and millionaires, all of Donald Trump's buddies, which is false because we're saying we're going to hold tax policy where it currently is, but we're going to deregulate these industries that have been stifled and which has caused them to move out of our country and go into a more favorable regulatory environment.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
And then sell the product back to us. So the president is looking at twofold. One, make taxes permanent. So they're not just simply planning on a four-year or eight-year term. They actually have a long-term term. So we're going to make taxes permanent. We're going to have actually friendly environmental regulations.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
We're going to have an environmental or regulatory environment that's going to be conducive to stability in the market without hurting our economy and without hurting our environment. And we're going to streamline it so you know that you can get it built without having to worry about it. That's because we have a president in the office that understands business.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
And he understands what it takes to bring manufacturing back. So that's why you're already seeing all these companies that are saying, hey, we're investing in you. I had a country the other day call me that they're wanting a very wealthy company.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Middle East country that I've actually became very good friends with with the president there that has said that they're willing to put one point four trillion dollars into the U.S. economy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
Well, it's a very disappointing result on the floor there. A handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down a rule that's rarely done. It's very unfortunate in this case. 96% of House Republicans voted against proxy voting because they believe it's unconstitutional and they agreed that it would open a Pandora's box. So that's what we just saw. Let me just make this clear.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
That rule being brought down means... that we can't have any further action on the floor this week. That means we will not be voting on the SAVE Act for election integrity. We will not be voting on the rogue judges who are attacking President Trump's agenda. We will not be taking down these terrible Biden policies with the CRA votes. All that was just wiped off the table. It's very unfortunate.
The Charlie Kirk Show
It's Liberation Day! + The Wisconsin Aftermath
We'll regroup and come back, and we'll have to do this again.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night? Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their job? And don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have. And then how many senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to step down? No? But it's for show. You guys make sure you make a big show and point out
The Dan Bongino Show
