The Charlie Kirk Show
A National Language, Debating Newsom, Wisconsin, and... Romania?!?
Fri, 28 Feb 2025
India, Pakistan, and The Philippines all use English as an official language, so why doesn't America? President Trump was wondering the same thing, it turns out. Charlie reacts to Trump's order making English the national tongue for the first time ever. He also reacts to the Epstein docs debacle, announces an upcoming debate with Gavin Newsom, and talks to candidate Brad Schimel about a crucial state supreme court election in Wisconsin. And then, because this election wasn't packed enough, he talks to senior Romanian politician Victor Ponta about his country nullifying elections in a manner eerily similar to our own deep state.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chapter 1: Why did Trump make English the official language of the US?

Today, breaking news, President Donald Trump is signing an executive order making English the official U.S. language. Did you know that we did not have a U.S. language in our country's history?
Even though, of course, the Constitution, Declaration, the Federalist Papers, all of our founding documents are written in English, our laws and our customs, we have not had an official language of the United States. This is not insignificant. This is about national unity. The numbers are approximate and they could put them in the chat.
But based on my memory, I believe that Spanish is the dominant language for those under the age of 40 in the state of California, if I'm not mistaken. That Spanish is actually spoken more than English at home in the state of California. If you cannot communicate with your neighbor, you become a nation of strangers. You become foreigners in your own land. And more importantly...
This is a symbol that we do have a certain tradition in this country, and we are going to protect and defend it. Did you know that English is an official language in India, Pakistan, and the Philippines, but not in America, but up until today it is? California is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the United States. It's estimated more than 200 languages are spoken on its territory.
One-fourth of the population was foreign-born. This is two times more than the rest of the United States, 10 million foreigners. And at some point, you become a colony, not a country. And if you want America to be a colony, just tell us that. A colony is where you could trade stuff, you could barter stuff. However, you have nothing in common with your fellow countrymen.
And language is fundamental to that. A nation is comprised... definitionally of three components, three ingredients. You must have borders or else you're not a nation. You must have unified language or else you're not a nation. And you must have shared culture or else you are not a nation. Borders, language, culture.

Chapter 2: What are the controversies surrounding the Epstein files?
at the white house about meeting jd and meeting caroline levitt they were given binders about some of the epstein documents but apparently all the epstein documents that they were given were documents that were already made public and so went totally viral the camera op was not scheduled it seems as if that the press was there to seek here star starmer
The Epstein files, which we need to see, it is mandatory that we, the American people, see the Epstein files. We have been told they're coming. We've been told that the Epstein client list is on the desk. We need to see every single Epstein document non-redacted. No more redactions. We need to see every single Epstein document. The SDNY, FBI field office, is obviously stonewalling.
That should be sorted out as of today. And we'll look for Pam Bondi, who I really like and really respect, to give updates. But look, rather than being cynical, this is all proof that this administration wants to get the information out. But there are other open questions about what documents there even are on Epstein and what have been destroyed. And that's the other thing.
I bet there's been a lot of destruction of documents. Are we going to learn about people like Les Wexner? We don't know. Are we going to learn about people like Reid Hoffman? We don't know. Bondi is giving Kash Patel 14 days to get to the bottom of this, and I bet they're just shredding documents. I don't want to be too cynical, but I bet there's a lot of destruction of documents right now.
And allow me to please prove that to you. Remember when Lois Lerner did the IRS targeting scandal against conservatives and she lost the emails and she lost the emails? Do you remember during the Mueller investigation? During the Mueller investigation, when the Mueller team intentionally inputted wrong passwords on their phones so many times that it triggered an automatic phone wipe?
Whoops, broke my phone, thus triggering a complete deletion of all the text messages and communications on the Mueller team. They should have been imprisoned just for that, the Mueller team. I want you to understand what the Mueller team did. They went through their phone.
So if you enter your wrong password enough times, like 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, wrong password, eventually it will wipe your phone. And the entire team did that. That is flagrant obstruction of justice, and none of them were held accountable. But of course, the most obvious was Hillary Clinton's bleach bit of emails.
The deep state operation, they're deleting Epstein files almost certainly as we speak. Look, I trust Kash Patel with my life. I trust Pam Bondi. I trust every single one of these people. And it's going, I guarantee you right now, there is this major head-on collision happening. And there you see a lot of my friends. There's Liz Wheeler, who's great. There's Scott Pressler. There's Rogan O'Hanley.
And it says on the binders, the Epstein files, which is technically true. However, a lot of these files, almost all of them were already out previously. And look, more will come, I hope. And we want transparency. In fact, we demand transparency. And we've been told that the Epstein client list is right there on the desk. So we need to see it. The expectation has been set very, very high here.

Chapter 3: How is Gavin Newsom's new podcast shaking things up?
We need to change the conversation. And that's why I'm launching a new podcast. And this is going to be anything but the ordinary politician podcast. I'm going to be talking to people directly that I disagree with, as well as people I look up to. But more important than anything else, I'll be talking directly with you, the listener. Real conversations. What's going on with the cost of eggs?
What are the impacts, real impacts to you around tariffs? What power does an executive order really have? And what's really going on inside of Doge? Look, there's an onslaught of information that we take in. So let's take it to the sources without the typical political mumbo jumbo.
In the first few weeks, we're going to be sitting down with some of the biggest leaders and architects in the mega movement. This is Gavin Newsom.
So Alex is a Californian. Alex, I want to get your take on Gavin's new podcast. And what advice would you have for me as I venture into that?
Well, first of all, I'm kind of surprised he's having you on, Charlie, because he is not a good debater. And you're not only a great debater, but you're a seasoned debater. You've been doing it nonstop for it's got to be over a decade now. He is someone who's going to be very vulnerable to debate.
And I would not necessarily debate him in a traditional sense because you're going to crush him and it might look weird. What I would love to see you do is actually probe his bad ideas because he's got a couple of parlor tricks. He uses vocabulary to make it sound like he's incredibly informed on stuff. He'll use words that you don't even know.
If you ask him to find the words, he doesn't know what they are. And he doesn't have a good track record. He tends to know where to show up in places and how to speak nicely to people who might disagree with him. But then he goes around and he's spending, you know, $50 million right now trying to Trump-proof California at the same time he's asking for Trump to spend $40 billion on fire relief.
He's never really explained why the reservoirs have run dry and why we prioritize the Delta smelt over the human populations when it comes to the fires in California. So... But the main thing I would do, Charlie, if I were you, is just ask him to fully flesh out his positions. And what you'll find is he'll be using these words that are just trying to impress people as if he's an expert.
He's not an expert in anything other than being a politician.

Chapter 4: What are the key issues in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election?
that they're going to take out a thing called Act 10. Most people in America don't know what it is, but it's a reform in Wisconsin that limited some of the bargaining power of public employee unions. It has nothing to do with private sector unions, but limited some of the power of public sector unions. They're promising on the campaign trail to take that out.
That is going to cost instantly, it's going to cost Wisconsinites billions to try to overcome what happens when that law is wiped out. They promised to do this. They're going to keep that promise. My opponent was the lead lawyer attacking Act 10 in the courts over a decade ago. You know what she's going to do. It's not hard to predict what's going to happen next, given what they're doing.
You mentioned something of great significance. You said there is a lot of national out-of-state Wisconsin money flowing into this. Explain more, please.
You know, my opponent... has gotten nearly half of her money from outside the state of Wisconsin. 97% of the money I've gotten and 97% of my donors are from people who vote in Wisconsin. I'm proud of that, and I prefer that, but I can't keep up if she's going to continue to get a million dollars from George Soros.
He just passed a check right through the state Democratic Party for a million dollars to my opponent. The governor of Illinois is in for over half a million dollars already. He was in for a million dollars two years ago. Reid Hoffman is already in for hundreds of thousands of dollars. She's getting all this money from these national liberal billionaires.
And I'm particularly concerned about George Soros because if that guy's influencing what someone does in a race, We're not going to last very long as a state. He hates everything good about America.
I want everyone to donate. It's at shimmelforjustice.com, but that is one M, not two. Is that correct? C-H-I-M-E-L forjustice.com. You're incredibly solid and we're behind you 100%. I want to also – I want to ask just the trend of these elections has become unnecessarily more partisan. I imagine that 20 or 30 years ago, Wisconsin Supreme Court elections weren't this divisive.
But it is those on the left or on the activist side that are deciding to rewrite the Constitution and contort state law towards their political aims and ends and purposes. Please speak to this.
Right. They went raw political in 2023. promising what they were going to do on the bench when they got their majority elected. And then they went forward and they started delivering on those promises. They have turned this raw partisan and we have to turn this back. The reason I got in this race is to restore objectivity of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The legislature should make the law.

We will talk about Ukraine, but it's Romania. Growing up in Chicago, there were some amazing Romanian Americans that I was raised with.
Really great people that were passionate about America and, of course, also the country of origin of Romania. It's always been a beautiful place. My wife's visited there. She's done a lot of work. But what's going on in Romania is of international significance that everyone here should care about. Canceled elections, people being detained for... differences of opinion, and so much more.
To help us understand this is the former Prime Minister of Romania. He's a member of the Chamber of Deputies and also a candidate for a new term for the President of Romania, Victor Ponta. Mr. Prime Minister, thank you so much for joining the program and for making time for us today. Please take a second to introduce yourself and welcome to the program.
First of all, good morning in America. It's not morning in Romania, but we are really looking for sunnier weather here in terms of politics, and we have great hopes after the new Trump administration came. Yes, I was prime minister a long time, 10 years ago, when Romania was trying to become a real strategic partner for the United States when Romania was making big economic advances.
But in the last years, unfortunately, a sort of network of, like you say, you call it in America, the deep state, took over the power. It was strongly supported by some people in Brussels and even some people in your former administration. Romanian people, they just want to live peacefully, to be a part of Europe, but to have a special relationship with the United States.
There was a lot of hope with the new administration, with the Trump administration, We will go back to our shared values. But as you mentioned, and I'm sure you want to get to the point, what happened in the elections showed us that the former system do not surrender, do not accept the vote of the people.
Last year in November, it was the first round which was cancelled based on some allegation never proved. And since then, we are in this turmoil. Officially, we will have new elections in May, but every day something new is happening.
