It's tariffs across the board, from 10% on Britain to 49% on Cambodia. Charlie reacts to Trump's monumental Liberation Day announcement in the Rose Garden, which will reorient the American economy towards domestic production in a way that hasn't happened in decades if not centuries. Plus, Will Thibeau explains the importance of Pete Hegseth's restoration of equal fitness standards to the U.S. military. Watch ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

Chapter 1: What are the key announcements from Trump's Rose Garden speech?
Hey everybody, Tim, the Charlie Kirk Show. Immediate reaction, President Trump at the Rose Garden, exclusively here on the Charlie Kirk Show. We break it all down, what President Trump announced, and the reciprocal tariffs, and there's a lot of them. There's a lot of reciprocity happening.
In fact, just to go through them very quickly, there will be a 34% tariff on China, 26% tariff on India, 25% tariff on South Korea, 24% tariff on Japan, 32% tariff on Taiwan, 10% tariff on the United Kingdom, 46% tariff on Vietnam, 31% tariff on Switzerland, 49% tariff on Cambodia, 30% tariff on South Africa. It should be higher than that.
32% tariff on Indonesia, 10% on Brazil, 10% Singapore, and 17% on Israel. Tariffs across the board, which is long overdue. Is this a good idea? This is a bad idea. Reciprocity is occurring. I explain how President Trump is fixing a decades-old problem. Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com. Text this episode to your friends and get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa.com.

Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Chapter 2: Which countries are affected by the new tariffs?
And I and President Trump, President Trump and myself, I should say, and myself as proxy would look these guys in the eyes and we would make a promise to them. We would say to these white working class men, elect us and we are going to fight for you. We're going to do mass deportations. We're going to stop the stem on the southern borders, the flow of illegal immigration and drugs.
And we are going to use tariffs. And these polite, mild-mannered, Midwestern patriots that work for Ford or General Motors, that work in manufacturing plants, those that still exist, would applaud as if it was a lifeline. As we say in this program, they're the ones that shower before work and they shower after work. And I got a little emotional watching that Rose Garden speech.
As those very same guys that we have campaigned for, can say that we voted for this. Donald Trump won the heartland because of these swing voters. These are the Reagan Democrats. These are the Obama Democrats that voted for Obama. And some of them even voted for Joe Biden in 2020. And they came back home. And you look right there on screen. These are the garbage truck drivers, the UAW members.
And I thought to myself, it is very unique to see a politician do what he said he was going to do, regardless of what the media and the institutions of power threaten him with. So I want to just set the tone to set the vibe of our conversation around this historic Liberation Day speech with why we are here. This is Jonestown, Pennsylvania. Before I was born, this started this sequence.
This right here we're about to play is what President Trump is aiming to solve in the Rose Garden. 32 years of managed decline. 32 years, 35 years, you could say. 40 years of the slipping of American manufacturing dominance. It's a very difficult clip to watch and multiply it by 60,000. Play cut 123.
For ages, hot molten steel has been the lifeblood of Johnstown, vigorously pumping dollars and jobs through the city's veins. But now the pulse of the community is in cardiac arrest. Bethlehem officials aren't making any more comments than what's contained in this press release. They're sorry, but it's simply not cost-effective to run the mill any longer.
It does hurt, and there's a dramatic spin-off that's going to come from that. And there's going to be a lot of problems that have to be solved.
In part, Bethlehem cites fierce foreign competition and the national economy for their demise. For some Bethlehem employees, it's hard to look past the shocking news.
Don't rely on a corporation that don't want you, in a sense.
