Chapter 1: Who is hosting The Charlie Kirk Show today?
I'm Alex Marlowe in again for Charlie as he debates Gavin Newsom. And we've got a good one for you today. Peter Schweitzer is here, the number one investigative researcher, I think, in all the world, certainly in conservative media. We go through how China and Ukraine are actually connected and why this will make Trump's foreign policy make a lot more sense.
Then he evaluates his take on Doge and why all the cutting is necessary and how it's all really about elections, a brilliant theory that Peter has that we explore. Before I do a preview straight from the White House of President Trump's speech to the Congress, the joint session of Congress, This is straight from the executive branch inside the White House. Very cool.
We got that first here in the Charlie Kirk show for you. You guys are going to enjoy that. And then I explain how I think the Democrats have a huge leadership crisis as evidenced by the fact that Andrew Cuomo, yes, that Andrew Cuomo, is running for mayor of New York City and is quite likely to win. So all that plus a bunch more exciting stuff today. This is fun. Fun show. Buckle up, everybody.

Chapter 2: How are China and Ukraine connected in Trump's foreign policy?
Chapter 3: What predictions are made for Trump's State of the Union?
And he wrote it up, did great, ended up on Fox News, and the rest is history. So we've been friends ever since, which has been very nice. A great guy, really looks out for his friends, and also is a monster on the airwaves. So I love to be here. And if you want to subscribe to my show, The Alex Marlowe Show, I couldn't appreciate it enough. We've got a lot to do. It's a monster news day.
The sort of State of the Union is tonight. They don't call it the State of the Union for some reason. On the first, I guess the president doesn't have a great sense of the State of the Union yet, is the... lore, the history of it after the first 50 or so days of his administration. So we call the State of the Union the other three years out of four. But that's basically what it is.
And I will have some preview. I've got some details from a source, I would say close to the president, on what we can expect for tonight. I'll have some of those at the bottom of the hour. today, plus a bunch of other news. But I do want to welcome in right now Peter Schweitzer, who is the number one New York Times bestselling author of many, many books.
And he is also one of our senior contributors at Breitbart News. and one of my, I would say, mentors in the research space. Blood Money is his latest book. It's out now. He's the president of the Government Accountability Institute and the host of the Drill Down podcast, which I never miss. Peter, it is always great to talk to you, Breitbart senior contributor as well.
Peter, this first 50 or so days of the Trump administration, all roads lead to China. All of this is about countering China. And let me give you a rundown of what I'm talking about. Pressure placed on taking back the Panama Canal or at least not having Chinese companies run the Panama Canal. That's about China. Greenland is about Chinese encroachment into the Arctic.
Ukraine mineral deal is about Chinese dominance in minerals around the world. tariffs, et cetera, on Mexico and Canada. All this is about that they've allowed their countries to get overrun with Chinese fentanyl and they've allowed Chinese police stations, other things like that at various points. I think the list goes on.
I think the icing out of Ukraine in that negotiation in Saudi Arabia and only including Russia, that was all about trying to pull Russia away from the Sinosphere. and to the United States. This is what it's all about for me. I feel like everything is actually about China, though Trump will not say China. I think this is brilliant, and it gives us in the commentariat space a lot of room to play.
But you know China better than anyone. What's your take on all this?
No, I think you're right. And look, what you're seeing with Trump is the arrival of something we haven't seen since really the 1980s with Reagan, which is a grand strategy. Looking at the road, looking at the map around the world and tracing what the challenges, what the threats are and what the opportunities are for the United States.

Chapter 4: What is the controversy surrounding the Zelensky mineral deal?
And the minerals deal, the genius in my mind of the minerals deal, is not just that it benefits the United States strategically in getting the minerals, but it does wed us to Ukraine. We now have something of value for us that gives us an interest long after Donald Trump leaves the Oval Office, whose ever president is going to be concerned about making sure that our mineral interests in Ukraine.
So it weds us to them without offering an absolute military guarantee.
J.D. Vance summed it up best. He said the minerals deal is a way better security guarantee than European troops. It's a long-term investment in their sovereignty. Perfectly put.

Peter Schweitzer is with me, president of the Government Accountability Institute, senior contributor to Breitbart News. multiple time New York Times number one bestselling author and host of the Drill Down podcast, which I absolutely love. Peter, I want to talk about Doge. Give me your 30,000 foot on Doge. The left thinks that they've got us on this one.
They think that cutting government waste to all sorts of transgender initiatives in foreign countries is what Americans want right now. I think they're nuts, but they're trying to make it seem like Musk is infringing on people's privacy and getting private stuff and Uh, it is essential for us to fund, you know, trans Sesame streets all over the world.
I don't totally get their take, but do you feel like they've got anything here? And what's your personal opinion of how Doge is going so far?

Today is a big day because it's the sort of State of the Union. And the White House has sent me some highlights of what we're anticipating. We're not going to bigfoot Trump here. So these are going to be roughly what we're looking at. But the theme of the speech is the renewal of the American dream. There's breaking news here on The Charlie Kirk Show.
Four main parts of the speech can be broken out into four parts as far as we know. Trump is going to review his accomplishments from his first months. And I've got a long list of what those are. And a lot of them are going to be border related. A lot of them are going to be things like stop hospitals not giving out puberty blockers, banning men from women's sports.
It is still mind-blowing to me, and I know Charlie's, of course, been on this as much as anyone, but the idea that the Democrats' ideal is when all three podium spots and girls' track events go to men. The Democrats will not rest until every podium spot in a women's track event goes to men. It's an unbelievable thing that they tried that for so long, and we were all just kind of
went along with it to some degree. All right, he's going to talk about what he's done to fix the economic mess. He's going to talk about extending the 2017 tax cuts and not provide further raises in prices to the American voters. It'll be interesting to see if the Democrats applaud that, if Democrats want your taxes to go up, essentially. If the Trump tax cuts are not extended from 2017 and
which is coming up very soon, then it is a tax hike. So just know that the Democrats think that with all the struggles you're going through, hiking your taxes will be good. They will not applaud. The reason why they will not applaud at this point is because they want your taxes to go up because they feel like Trump will ultimately get blamed if that causes more problems for you and your family.
So be on the lookout for that. Trump is going to push Congress to pass more funding for deportations and continue to build the wall.
This is one report that I have heard from some of my sources that the deportations are somewhat underfunded at this point, which makes a lot of sense because if you think about how aggressive Tom Homan has been and Stephen Miller have been getting out there doing interviews, Kristi Noem with her cool outfits, I always like her outfits, always looking great.

Chapter 6: How do legal graft and government grants impact politics?
My question to Elon Musk, and what the hell are you doing here in America? Go back to South Africa!
Yeah, so Musk should go back to South Africa. It's just pure xenophobia. Trump has the Democrats completely in knots. You watch them all weekend say that Trump is the biggest threat to democracy because he's not giving enough money to Ukraine, which is run by a dictator. Zelensky is now a dictator. Look, I know some of you are smarty pants.
You're going to do some technicality that his constitution allows for him to declare martial law. And when there's martial law, then he doesn't have to have an election. But he skipped elections. He is not of habeas corpus, which means that you can just arrest people. You guys have seen all the viral videos online of people getting a forced conscription.
He does not have a free press, and he's banned all the major political parties that oppose him. So what tenants of dictatorship are we missing? It's kind of a fascist dictatorship as well. Part of the fascists over the years, they would have the military uniform that they would wear all the time. Think about Castro, think about Mussolini. That's another overlooked tenant of fascism.
So think about that. And look, I'm not entirely unsympathetic to Zelensky's plight. It's not a black and white thing. Putin's not a great guy. But when you suspend elections, you don't have these corporates, you don't have free press, you don't have an opposition party. That's a dictatorship is what it is. So the Democrats going all in for Zelensky all the time.
where you saw them openly rooting against the United States and for Zelensky last week after he completely wet his pants during that Oval Office meeting with Vance and Trump, where he's threatening us wildly, doing all sorts of things to blow up deals that we were told were already done.
And if people came out on his side, just know that you're on the side of a dictator over a guy who just got elected by every single swing state, the plurality of the popular vote, and a huge electoral mandate. So they're countering it with xenophobia. We're going to send Musk back to South Africa. If I had said something like that, it would be nonstop. Be the lead story in the Huffington Post.
Go back to Charlie and said something like that. Imagine the New York Times, the hand-wringing that'd be going on. Xenophobia coming from the turning point and Charlie Kirk's show host. Ridiculous, but they don't have anything. And this is where I get very excited because I don't think that they're able to counter us in an effective way.
I gotta say the Trump Gaza number one, I love how Musk is eating the whole time and he's also very svelte. The AI made Trump the same way, but Musk lost a bunch of weight, but he's still eating the whole time. They don't know how to handle Trump because they can't announce he's a dictator anymore.
