Charlie Kirk Exposes How Donald Trump Flipped Immigration Politics and Destroyed Republican Establishment Orthodoxy Forever

[00:00] We are here at the Bitcoin.com studio,

[00:02] your gateway to democratized financed

[00:05] bitcoin.com. I'm wearing the shirt. This

[00:07] is what we voted for, which you guys can

[00:09] find at charliekirk.com because this is

[00:12] what we voted for. And that is actually

[00:13] the theme and the open today, which is

[00:17] the stunning and perplexing politics of

[00:21] immigration. You see, for almost all of

[00:24] my political career, and for as long as

[00:26] I have memory, Democrats have had an

[00:29] advantage on immigration. There's issues

[00:31] that they've always had advantages with

[00:33] us over. Climate, education, and

[00:36] immigration, they almost always have

[00:38] some form of advantage. Interestingly

[00:40] enough, education less and less. So,

[00:43] remember that election where Governor

[00:45] Yncan won in the great state of

[00:47] Virginia? uh he became the governor of

[00:50] Virginia with actual favorability

[00:53] advantage on the issue of education. But

[00:57] on immigration, Democrats have always

[01:00] had us over a barrel by 20 points or 30

[01:03] points. Because what did Republicans

[01:06] stand for when it came to immigration?

[01:08] And this is the kicker everybody. If

[01:10] there is just one thing that you

[01:12] remember that I tell you, it is how

[01:15] wrong, how fraudulent, how deceitful the

[01:18] Jeb Bush Carl Rove perspective on

[01:21] immigration was. Can you guys get some

[01:24] of that tape here, Blake or Ryan, now

[01:26] that I'm thinking of it? Back in 2014,

[01:29] 2015, we had the Gang of Eight. And yes,

[01:32] Marco Rubio was part of it, and he has

[01:33] come a long way. And I'm Marco Rubio's

[01:35] biggest fan and supporter. But yes, we

[01:37] had the Gang of Eight. And I remember

[01:39] it. This was the first couple of years I

[01:41] was involved in politics and it was it

[01:44] was unchallengeable

[01:46] dogma in the Republican party that we

[01:50] are going to lose Hispanics forever if

[01:54] we do not pass mass amnesty. Now see

[01:58] this was largely passed and was pushed I

[02:01] should say by the Koch brothers by

[02:03] corporate interest by the chamber of

[02:05] commerce. This was largely being

[02:08] advanced by sinister multinational

[02:11] corporations that didn't actually care

[02:13] about the politics. They wanted cheap

[02:15] labor. And the Democrats were like,

[02:17] "Sure, you want cheap labor. We want

[02:19] cheap votes." Marriage made in heaven.

[02:23] And instead, what was created is a

[02:26] weapon of mass migration. Not a weapon

[02:30] of mass destruction, a weapon of mass

[02:33] migration. and Jeb Bush and all of the

[02:37] Republican orthodoxy

[02:41] was and every single donor believed

[02:43] this. We need to win back Hispanics and

[02:45] by doing so we have to calm down our

[02:47] rhetoric on immigration. This is without

[02:49] a doubt one of the greatest

[02:53] missteps, one of the greatest errors in

[02:56] modern, if not all of the conservative

[02:59] movement. Almost everybody fell for

[03:01] this. And honestly, I was 20 years old

[03:04] at the time. I was 21 years old at the

[03:05] time. I kind of fell for it, too. I was

[03:07] like, "Well, do we need to water down

[03:08] our language? And do we need to be more

[03:10] compassionate because a lot of Latinos

[03:13] and Hispanics, they seem to be for open

[03:15] borders and they have friends that have

[03:17] come here illegally." And we were, it

[03:19] was a ruse, everybody. It was a major

[03:23] scam. Paul Ryan and John McCain, all of

[03:28] the moderate apparatics were together

[03:32] saying, "We must do this or else we're

[03:33] going to lose Hispanics 9010. It'll be

[03:36] like black America." And they were

[03:38] fear-mongering and they were

[03:39] blackmailing us, saying, "You must do

[03:42] mass amnesty

[03:44] right now or else you will be a minority

[03:46] party forever and you'll never win back

[03:49] Hispanics." And 10 years ago to this

[03:52] month, the most consistent political

[03:54] candidate that we've ever seen, Donald

[03:56] Trump changed everything. He said,

[03:58] "Nope, they're illegals. Many of them

[04:00] are rapists. They're thugs. They're

[04:03] terrible. We're going to build the wall.

[04:04] Mexico will pay for it. We're going to

[04:06] do mass deportations." And he has

[04:07] unwavered in that commitment. And then

[04:10] we were told by the moderates in the

[04:12] Republican party, "Oh, you guys are

[04:15] going to lose us majorities. You're

[04:17] going to lose elections if you talk like

[04:19] this." and Hispanics will turn against

[04:21] you. Turns out the exact opposite was

[04:24] actually the case. It turns out that the

[04:27] more aggressive and hawkish that we got

[04:31] on immigration, the more Hispanics were

[04:33] coming our way, the more aggressive and

[04:36] hawkish that we got on immigration, we

[04:38] finally for the first time ever are

[04:41] beating Democrats on the issue of

[04:43] immigration. It turns out at the core,

[04:46] Americans are actually very, very

[04:49] supportive of mass deportations. And

[04:51] what I love is that the Democrats,

[04:54] they're continually pulling this or

[04:57] there's no way America No, that's true.

[04:59] America actually wants doorby door,

[05:02] blockby block mass deportations. And the

[05:05] Democrats, they don't quite understand

[05:06] this. Here is Amy Walter from the Cook

[05:08] Political Report who

[05:11] accurately says this is the first time

[05:14] ever we've seen this. Democrats used to

[05:17] have an advantage over Trump and

[05:18] immigration. They have a disadvantage

[05:20] now. Play cut 422 forward. I think is

[05:23] how Democrats do talk about these issues

[05:26] is going to be really important for um

[05:29] the you know not just what's happening

[05:32] today in Los Angeles but just large. I

[05:35] think there has been a lot of pullback

[05:37] and a lot of um hand ringing from

[05:40] Democrats about an issue which they used

[05:42] to have an advantage on during the

[05:45] Trump's first term they have a

[05:46] disadvantage on now this issue isn't

[05:48] going away and how Democrats respond to

[05:53] whether this is going to happen in other

[05:54] states how they address concerns about

[05:57] safety and security that is going to be

[06:00] um critical just for the next for well

[06:03] forever

[06:07] It's been flipped. Remember the RNT the

[06:10] RNC autopsy report of 2013? It's funny.

[06:12] I actually went to one of those

[06:13] meetings. I was brought to one of those

[06:15] RNC donor meetings by Mike Miller, one

[06:18] of my dear friends, runs MJ Miller

[06:21] Jewelers in the suburbs of Chicago in

[06:23] Bington, Illinois, which I encourage you

[06:26] guys to go to if you need have any

[06:27] jewelry needs. He actually did our

[06:28] wedding ring and many other things. But

[06:29] he brought me to the RNC autopsy report

[06:31] in Chicago because Ryan Prieous who I

[06:33] really like he was doing a road show

[06:36] just here's the report here's the data

[06:37] and he was going to meet with donors

[06:39] because people were very very upset with

[06:42] what happened in 2012 and this is what

[06:44] was in the official RNC autopsy report

[06:48] autopsy report in 2013. quote, "Among

[06:51] the steps Republicans must take in the

[06:53] Hispanic community and beyond, we must

[06:55] embrace and champion comprehensive

[06:58] immigration reform. If we do not, our

[07:00] party's appeal will continue to shrink

[07:02] to its core constituencies only." Blake,

[07:05] can we tweet this out? This is so

[07:07] important. Let me say this again. Quote,

[07:10] "Among the steps Republicans must take

[07:13] in the Hispanic community," this was the

[07:15] official RNC autopsy report in 2013.

[07:19] We must embrace and champion

[07:21] comprehensive immigration reform. If we

[07:24] do not, our party's appeal will continue

[07:27] to shrink to its core constituencies

[07:29] only. This was all before Donald Trump.

[07:31] Here was Jeb Bush at CPAC back in 2015,

[07:37] 2016, probably 2015. Play cut 448.

[07:42] what we need, which are economic driven

[07:44] immigrants. Those that want to come here

[07:46] to work, to invest in their dreams in

[07:50] this country to create opportunities for

[07:51] all of us. And that's what we need to

[07:54] get to. Chamber of Commerce, Balderdash,

[08:00] Jeb Bush being applauded by the 19

[08:02] different K Street lobbyists that he

[08:03] bust on over to the Gaylord Hotel.

[08:08] And you have the Jeb Bush, you have the

[08:09] RNC autopsy report, and Donald Trump

[08:11] changed it all. And now we have an

[08:13] advantage on the immigration issue.

[08:15] America supports it. 51% of people want

[08:18] mass deportations. 54% people want raids

[08:20] on violent criminals.

[08:23] A 20point lead on the mobilization of

[08:25] the National Guard.

[08:29] And Donald Trump changed it all. Donald

[08:31] Trump knew it. He intuited it. knowing

[08:35] no knowing at its core that there was

[08:40] going to be a huge political realignment

[08:42] in a way where the Democrats still are

[08:44] reacting and you know who supports it

[08:45] the most immigrants. That's right. Do

[08:48] you know that legal first generation

[08:49] immigrants, foreign born immigrants are

[08:52] actually more hawkish on immigration

[08:54] than Americans. My friend Colin Plume

[08:56] from Noble Gold Investments just

[08:57] released his new book, Silver is the New

[09:00] Oil. And it says, "If you don't own Own

[09:02] Silver yet, you're already behind."

[09:04] Colin says that as demand for

[09:06] technology, energy, and industry

[09:07] soarses, silver's value is set to surge.

[09:10] The question is, are you ready to

[09:12] profit? This book reveals why silver is

[09:14] the most underrated asset today, and how

[09:17] to invest before the world catches on.

[09:19] I've read Silver is the New Oil, and you

[09:22] should, too. Get it now available on

[09:24] Amazon. You see the Democrats, they're

[09:26] making a major strategic error, but

[09:28] they're not going to, regardless of what

[09:29] I say on the show, they're not going to

[09:30] stop because they are in they are

[09:32] enthused with pathological energy when

[09:35] it comes to open borders. Open borders

[09:38] is the life force of the globalist

[09:41] elite. It is a baseline fundamental

[09:44] belief of the Democrat party. Thou shalt

[09:47] have open borders. Period. End of story.

[09:50] We are the only political movement to

[09:51] say no mas, no more aasta la vista.

[09:54] Adios. The Democrat party built their

[09:57] entire coalition on the great

[09:58] replacement reality. We are going to

[10:01] have millions of people come into the

[10:02] country and try to replace the

[10:04] nativeborn population to change the

[10:07] politic. If you can't win elections

[10:09] because the people don't support you,

[10:11] well then change the people. Replace

[10:13] them. And so just flood it with 10, 15,

[10:16] 20, 30 million. Do you know we actually

[10:18] don't know how many illegals are in this

[10:20] country? Do you know it's kind of a

[10:23] guesstimate? It could be 20 million,

[10:25] could be 30 million, it could be 40

[10:26] million. We have no idea.

[10:30] And by the way, we have this new shirt.

[10:31] This is what we voted for at

[10:33] charliekirkstore.com if you want to

[10:35] check it out. That's why I'm wearing it

[10:36] today because it's kind of the theme of

[10:37] the program and also on bitcoin.com.

[10:41] Buy, sell, trade Bitcoin. All Bitcoin

[10:43] type decisions should be made at

[10:44] bitcoin.com. and that is bitcoin.com.

[10:48] One of my favorite guests is here. He's

[10:49] such a smart thinker and a great

[10:53] analytical mind. Alex Marlo, I saw one

[10:56] of his tweets the other day and I said

[10:57] to Andrew said, "Get him on the show

[10:59] immediately." And I just loved it. Let

[11:01] me read it to you. It's Alex Marlo. Uh

[11:02] breitbart.com. Phenomenal Alex Marlo

[11:04] show. Alex, great to see you. Let me

[11:05] read your tweet, Alex, and I'll let you

[11:06] riff on it. Uh quote, "The invasion of

[11:08] Los Angeles happened decades ago. I

[11:11] know. I've lived here most of my life.

[11:12] The Democrats who run this place and the

[11:14] establishment media put illegal alien

[11:16] criminals over law-abiding citizens

[11:17] every single time. It destroyed our

[11:19] schools, overwhelmed our healthcare

[11:21] system, and bulcanized us to the point

[11:22] where we have no real culture. We should

[11:25] have stopped it a long time ago. Donald

[11:26] Trump is stopping it now. Get out of his

[11:28] way. Free LA from this madness. Alex, I

[11:31] love it. As an Angelino yourself, please

[11:34] speak about this. Yeah, thank you,

[11:36] Charlie. This is one of these things

[11:37] where I'm watching all these libs on

[11:40] social media yell at us and these

[11:42] celebrities yell at us like we're

[11:44] monsters if we're intolerant of Trump

[11:47] enforcing the law. This city was ruined

[11:50] decades ago. It was my really education

[11:53] in politics was understanding that my

[11:56] city was getting overrun and it was

[11:58] causing a lot of downstream effects. It

[12:00] wasn't just that people are unpleasant

[12:02] or they're all bad people. No, it's not

[12:05] about that. It's the effects of illegal

[12:06] immigration. And it what dawned on me is

[12:08] when I was an intern for Larry Elder

[12:10] about 20 years ago and he was going

[12:11] through how expensive it costs to

[12:13] educate people and how actually public

[12:15] schools in LA are more expensive than

[12:17] private schools per pupil. It's just the

[12:19] cost is deferred to taxpayers. Why is

[12:22] that? Because there's so much

[12:23] administration that's necessary. There's

[12:24] so many people who don't speak the

[12:25] language. There's so many uh things that

[12:28] need to be put into place, not just the

[12:29] bureaucracies and the unions and all

[12:30] that stuff, but to educate people where

[12:32] English is a second language and to put

[12:34] that entirely on the state and they're

[12:35] coming from homes where the parents

[12:37] don't speak the language. And we don't

[12:38] just tolerate it, Charlie. We embrace

[12:40] it. We love it. That's just the school

[12:42] system. So that's why a public school

[12:44] student costs more than a typical

[12:45] Catholic school student in the LA area.

[12:47] And the schools are not usable. Our test

[12:49] scores keep going down. Uh they're more

[12:51] dangerous places to be. It they're

[12:53] completely unpleasant parts of life

[12:55] here. That's just one example, but

[12:57] health care is another massive one. My

[12:59] wife worked at a community hospital

[13:01] serving a largely Hispanic population,

[13:03] and they don't ask you for your papers

[13:06] when you go in to get a service. And if

[13:08] you need something like, let's say, a

[13:09] bone marrow transplant, it costs

[13:12] $700,000.

[13:13] And if you're an illegal alien and you

[13:15] showed up at her county hospital in LA

[13:17] that she worked at, they don't turn you

[13:19] away. Who is paying for that, Charlie?

[13:21] I'm paying for it. The taxpayers are

[13:23] paying for it. And so, how could you run

[13:25] a city like this? You could never do it.

[13:27] And yet, we just accepted it that this

[13:29] is what we're going to have in this

[13:30] city. Illegal aliens are going to make

[13:31] everything expensive. There's going to

[13:33] be more crime. And my point about the

[13:34] culture is very big. LA used to be the

[13:36] cultural hub of the world. We're totally

[13:38] balkconized now. There's areas where

[13:40] certain groups of people go and areas

[13:41] where other groups of people go and they

[13:43] don't always cross over. That is

[13:45] bizarre. That's not America. That's not

[13:47] a melting pot. That's that's like the

[13:49] prison tray where you get the that you

[13:52] get your meals on where everything's

[13:53] sectioned off. You don't run a city that

[13:55] way. And that's been our life here for

[13:57] decades. And Donald Trump, Steven

[13:59] Miller, and Tom Hman and Christine Nome

[14:00] are saying, "Why? Why, Charlie? Why are

[14:03] we doing this? We're not doing it

[14:04] anymore." Honestly, you know, I've heard

[14:07] people complain about traffic on the

[14:08] 405. Mass deportations will help solve

[14:10] that. And I mean, it's like No, I'm

[14:12] being honest. I mean, you can't you

[14:14] can't bring in millions of people and

[14:15] it, you know, act as if they have the

[14:17] public infrastructure for it. And look,

[14:19] as a as a nation, we have a big heart. I

[14:21] think that if someone's in this country

[14:22] and they need immediate health care,

[14:25] yeah, you save their life, but you

[14:27] cannot simultaneously have domestic

[14:30] generosity with unruly invasion. They

[14:33] they are a contradiction. So then all of

[14:35] a sudden your generosity is taken

[14:37] advantage of and we are naively then

[14:40] subsidizing our own demise. And this

[14:43] this is a very very important point is

[14:44] that okay good intentions everyone has

[14:46] good intentions they mean nothing they

[14:49] don't translate to good public policy

[14:52] and in Los Angeles it is a cluttered

[14:55] city and again the media is going to

[14:57] take this out of context. I don't care.

[15:00] It's a dirty city. I'm not saying it's

[15:02] all because of immigrants. It's just

[15:04] dirty. Graffiti is everywhere. There's

[15:06] trash on the streets. There's homeless

[15:08] everywhere. It's a filthy place. And it

[15:11] never used to be that way. Right, Alex?

[15:13] It doesn't need to be this way. You're

[15:14] exactly right. And it's become a filthy

[15:16] place. You're ex I've got a video at the

[15:17] top of my Instagram page where I go down

[15:19] to the Labraa Tarpet. It's supposed to

[15:21] be a family place to go uh there's a

[15:23] national history museum. You learn about

[15:24] history. It just covered. It's a

[15:26] homeless encampment now basically. Like

[15:28] what? Why is that something we want? Why

[15:30] is that something that's a given? That's

[15:32] a guarantee. I was just noticing a mural

[15:34] of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi who

[15:36] died in that helicopter crash defaced by

[15:40] these protesters essentially protesting

[15:42] against the ICE. Why is that helping

[15:43] your cause? The city's become a lawless

[15:46] place. And this is the fundamental

[15:47] thing, Charlie. Democrats do not view

[15:49] law and order as a value. They don't

[15:51] like it. They don't think that they want

[15:53] chaos. And so law and order is a is an

[15:56] antidote to chaos. So they don't like

[15:58] that. So they don't like the concept of

[16:00] we can set a law and we can enforce it.

[16:02] They would rather have things be

[16:03] enforcable based off of their will and

[16:05] their political impetus at the time. And

[16:08] so this has been toxic in this city. It

[16:10] is not working. And I'll tell you that

[16:12] my wife, for example, worked as a

[16:15] trainee, so not making a lot of money,

[16:16] treating illegal aliens, and she would

[16:18] do it with a smile on her face, give

[16:19] them the best care she possibly could.

[16:21] And why? Because to your point, we are

[16:22] humanitarian. I don't want illegal alien

[16:24] kids running around. They're probably

[16:25] better off in the schools. As expensive

[16:27] as it is, what are they supposed to do?

[16:29] Like run around the the neighborhoods

[16:30] all day? That doesn't make any sense.

[16:32] We're going to be humanitarian if you're

[16:33] here. So why leave the border open and

[16:36] why not crack down on the people who we

[16:37] know are illegal and should leave? You

[16:39] can have welfare and closed borders or

[16:42] open borders and no welfare. You cannot

[16:44] have both. They cannot coexist. The

[16:47] entire system collapses. It falls apart.

[16:51] And just let's kind of go deeper into

[16:53] the whole California thing which is what

[16:56] we I mean the image. Can we just reshow

[16:57] the images guys? We cannot show it

[16:59] enough. And a lot of normal

[17:01] non-political people in my life are

[17:03] shocked and horrified by this, Alex. And

[17:05] it's not that we're horrified

[17:07] necessarily by the sight of a Mexican

[17:08] flag. My favorite taco place in downtown

[17:11] Phoenix, which is like they're all

[17:13] Mexican like flag. No, no, no. It's when

[17:15] it's this symbol while you are doing

[17:18] destruction that is obviously a defiance

[17:20] that we have more loyalty to this nation

[17:24] than the one that we're currently

[17:25] doiciled in. over the smoke and over the

[17:28] ashes. Alex, we have not seen this sort

[17:31] of, let's just say, stunning aesthetic

[17:34] as a gut punch to the Democrat party

[17:37] since Floyd Palooa. Am I right? No. And

[17:40] it's amazing how quickly they went for

[17:42] it because they're trying to do this

[17:43] narrative, the gaslighting from Maxine

[17:45] Waters and some people in the media that

[17:47] this is mostly peaceful. It wasn't

[17:48] peaceful for a second. They immediately

[17:50] said, "Where's the first electric car?

[17:52] Let's torch it." I mean, they didn't

[17:54] wait 5 minutes. And with the Mexican

[17:55] flags out there is I got to say I I

[17:57] listen to a lot of Spanish music and I

[18:00] listen to I I it's the Mexican food is

[18:02] my favorite type of food. It's a if I'm

[18:04] ever relaxing, which is very rare, it's

[18:06] probably going to be a tequila or mezcow

[18:08] that's in my glass. It's like I'm I'm

[18:09] fine with Mexican culture. That's not

[18:11] what this is. This isn't even Mexican

[18:12] culture. This is a invasion of our

[18:15] cities and are trying to torch things

[18:17] and destroy things. It's all the

[18:20] destructiveness of it all and the

[18:22] entitlement of it all that you're

[18:23] allowed to be here even though you broke

[18:25] our rules. And that is something that is

[18:28] national Democrats are looking in horror

[18:30] right now. This is what the sources are

[18:32] telling me right now. And I've spoken to

[18:33] a lot of them in the last couple days.

[18:35] They're horrified about what's going on.

[18:37] LA Democrats, big big big big LA

[18:40] Democrats like it though, Charlie. Yeah.

[18:42] Go ahead. I'm telling you right now, the

[18:44] non-polit I was telling this to, you

[18:45] know, look, I'm gonna just say this.

[18:47] I've said it before, please.

[18:49] Non-political person, just, you know,

[18:51] muscular class. She helps us out,

[18:53] whatever. Great person. Non-political.

[18:55] Voted for Trump, but like out of

[18:57] nowhere. She's like, "These riots, this

[18:59] is what Democrats do." She's like, "All

[19:01] I" It's I feel like every couple summers

[19:03] they try to burn down our cities. This

[19:05] is now becoming a meta narrative. it is

[19:08] being tattooed into the consciousness of

[19:10] the American people which is that

[19:12] non-political people because look if if

[19:14] it if it burns it goes to the front

[19:16] lines and people look at it and can we

[19:18] just show that one B-roll guys of the

[19:20] one after the other the cars burning

[19:22] just the the in flames and by the way

[19:25] just so we're clear if you're burning an

[19:27] electric car do you understand the

[19:29] pollution that you are putting into that

[19:31] community I mean yes burning a car is

[19:33] bad the cobalt that you I mean just that

[19:36] alone is like really bad. Okay. And

[19:39] these are the environmentalists, right?

[19:40] These are the green people that think

[19:42] the way that you effectuate change is

[19:45] the smell of cobalt in the morning. And

[19:48] so the And by the way, the seats the

[19:50] seats are like the seats of these cars

[19:52] have really really bad pollution.

[19:54] Anyway, that's a whole other separate

[19:55] they they of course they never cared

[19:56] about that. American families should

[19:58] have their lives ruined by illegally

[19:59] alien crime. If that answer is above

[20:01] zero, you and I have nothing to talk

[20:02] about. That number is zero, Charlie. And

[20:04] here's the thing. A lot of Hispanics

[20:06] that are going to get deported, their

[20:07] family will be deported, you know who

[20:08] they're going to blame? They're going to

[20:09] blame the riers because it now justifies

[20:12] an equal and opposite reaction. It it

[20:14] justifies force. And so the people that

[20:16] then get deported, they'll be like those

[20:18] stupid morons that started burning cars,

[20:21] you know, of course they're going to

[20:23] respond. And they being the US

[20:24] government, and we will. Final thoughts,

[20:26] Alex. Yeah, legal immigrants are moving

[20:28] to Trump faster than any other group.

[20:30] They hate this stuff. I will tell you,

[20:32] they despise it. If you fail to

[20:35] assimilate to our culture, then you will

[20:38] no longer have a country.

[20:40] Multiculturalism has been a failure.

[20:42] Uniculturalism is actually what the

[20:43] founders wanted. E- plurabus unum as

[20:46] Andrew Breitbart would say all the time.

[20:48] He would say, he educated America on e-

[20:50] plurabus unum with Dennis Prager and

[20:51] Andrew Breitbart. E pluribus unum out of

[20:53] many one. You could keep your traditions

[20:56] and you could keep your food, but you're

[20:58] coming here to assimilate to our

[21:00] culture. Alex, thanks so much.
