Charlie Kirk on President Trump's China Warning, Coronavirus Response, and the MAGA Doctrine Playing Out in Real Time

[00:00] it does seem that the president was

[00:01] right all along by dependence upon China

[00:04] and selling our soul to them we ended up

[00:08] putting ourselves in a very vulnerable

[00:10] position for things like this

[00:11] coronavirus that's exactly right and

[00:14] thank you governor for having me on and

[00:15] look you're seeing right now play out

[00:18] what President Trump trying to warn

[00:19] Americans about four or five years ago

[00:21] remember the ruling class in our country

[00:23] they have had an inside out relationship

[00:26] with the Chinese Communist Party with

[00:28] bad trade deals with allowing them to

[00:31] build Confucius Institutes on our

[00:33] college campuses which not questioning

[00:35] their infiltration into our country

[00:37] hacking our cyber grid infiltrating the

[00:40] highest levels of influence in our media

[00:42] and now you're seeing a global pandemic

[00:46] trillions of dollars of wealth being

[00:48] lost because China lied

[00:51] China could have come clean in early

[00:53] January and said that there was a

[00:55] growing pandemic happening in their

[00:56] country and the World Health

[00:58] Organization and America would have

[01:00] thanked them for their honesty they

[01:01] should have suspended all flights they

[01:03] should have taken responsibility for

[01:05] their actions and they did none of those

[01:07] things and now you are seeing

[01:09] unspeakable loss both financial economic

[01:12] and of course the loss of life so

[01:15] president Trump's agenda is being

[01:17] validated and despite the less best

[01:20] efforts to try to criticize him for

[01:22] being racially insensitive for correctly

[01:25] categorizing this as the Chinese

[01:27] coronavirus you're actually seeing his

[01:30] approval ratings go up and a lot of the

[01:32] left was hoping that in the midst of

[01:34] this crisis that it would make him more

[01:36] vulnerable politically we're seeing the

[01:38] exact opposite play out when Ilhan Omar

[01:42] the congresswoman part of the squad for

[01:44] Minnesota compliments the president when

[01:47] he gets kudos from New York Governor

[01:49] Cuomo and California governor Newsom

[01:51] some of them are having to recognize

[01:54] that his management of the crisis is

[01:56] exactly textbook quality management so

[02:00] now President Trump he rebuilt the

[02:02] American economy once he's gonna have to

[02:03] rebuild it again and neither time was it

[02:06] his fault that the economy was in a less

[02:08] than desirable situation you're seeing

[02:10] Cuomo and Governor Newsom two radical

[02:13] left-wing Demma

[02:14] Kratt governor's from New York and

[02:16] California even complement the

[02:17] president's decision-making and

[02:18] problem-solving here whether it be

[02:20] cutting the red tape in the FDA or

[02:22] repositioning the u.s. MS mercy to New

[02:26] York City to allow a floating Hospital

[02:27] to be created or getting people to help

[02:30] that they need in this time of crisis so

[02:32] the president I think there's gonna be

[02:34] the president's finest hour and again I

[02:36] think we as Americans you know unify and

[02:38] get behind the guidelines at the

[02:39] administration or issuing so we can

[02:41] defeat this virus once and for all but

[02:43] it appears that a lot of the people on

[02:46] the younger end of the population

[02:48] spectrum tend to see this is no big deal

[02:51] many of them going on and partying hard

[02:53] on spring break

[02:54] continuing their activities almost

[02:56] feeling inconvenience that they couldn't

[02:59] go to their bars and have a good time

[03:01] what are they missing two thoughts on

[03:04] this number one they don't believe the

[03:05] media because the media said it was

[03:07] gonna be the end of the world around

[03:09] every single corner Trump got elected

[03:11] the world was going to end Trump decided

[03:12] to take out kasam Salamone we're gonna

[03:14] go to war with Iran the Trump tax cut

[03:16] Brett Kavanaugh it's the it's the boy

[03:19] who cried wolf and eventually the young

[03:21] young people don't trust that number to

[03:23] the pundits and politicians and

[03:25] prognosticators that have tried to

[03:26] invalidate this president for the last

[03:29] three or four years saying that he's not

[03:31] duly elected don't listen to him all

[03:34] young people have been told to distrust

[03:36] him the third thing is this is that

[03:38] young people should know better despite

[03:40] those things it's incredibly

[03:41] narcissistic and outrageous to go to the

[03:44] beach and continue to party when the

[03:46] country is going through this sort of

[03:48] virus fights and for we a turning point

[03:51] USA are trying to practice what we

[03:53] preach we're giving people the option to

[03:55] work from home unfortunately our entire

[03:57] campus schedule has been completely and

[03:59] totally shut down but we're doing what

[04:02] we can and for students out there and

[04:04] especially for parents I find no such

[04:07] humor and trying to defy these

[04:09] guidelines and for young people who

[04:11] think they're invincible just go read

[04:13] what's happening in France in Italy in

[04:14] Belgium where some of the most intensive

[04:17] cases are actually people in their 20s

[04:19] and 30s young people might think they're

[04:21] invincible and as someone who runs an

[04:22] organization that's on 2,000 high school

[04:24] and college campuses pushing back very

[04:27] aggressively

[04:28] for students that think they're above

[04:29] this and totally invincible charlie

[04:31] you've got a best-selling book that's on

[04:33] fire right now maybe more than ever

[04:35] because of the timeliness of it your

[04:37] book the mag a doctrine what is the mag

[04:40] a doctrine how does that play out in

[04:42] real time both through this crisis as

[04:45] well as through an election year I wrote

[04:47] the mag of doctrine to try to articulate

[04:49] the Trump philosophy because I was tired

[04:51] of left-wing pundits and prognosticators

[04:53] telling us what the president believed

[04:55] and part of the Magadh doctrine was

[04:57] being skeptical of our relationship with

[04:59] China and stronger immigration there's

[05:01] that old expression governor there's no

[05:03] atheists in foxholes and I've added now

[05:05] there's no globalists in pandemics

[05:07] you're seeing Justin Trudeau you're

[05:09] seeing the EU shut off their borders to

[05:11] travel and all of a sudden it seems like

[05:13] the entire world is taking a page from

[05:15] the Magadh doctrine that's strong

[05:17] borders and stricter immigration is

[05:20] actually something that might help your

[05:22] people and actually might help your

[05:23] citizenry there's so much negative and

[05:25] so much carnage that has come out of

[05:27] this virus but one thing that I hope

[05:29] that we can learn is that China is not

[05:31] our friend that China is our greatest

[05:33] enemy that they should be held

[05:35] responsible for this president Donald

[05:37] Trump said it from his first speech

[05:38] coming down that escalator and if you

[05:40] actually go back to his 1919 80s

[05:42] interview with Oprah Winfrey President

[05:44] Donald Trump and businessman Donald

[05:46] Trump said China is ripping us off they

[05:48] are laughing at us and we have to do

[05:50] something about it and now it's all

[05:52] coming to play I write about at the

[05:53] Magadan through a 3040 year analysis of

[05:56] the philosophy of Donald Trump and he

[05:58] he's going to protect America from this

[06:00] silent killer and we are going to be

[06:02] stronger than ever before thanks to the

[06:03] magadh doctrine and president Trump's

[06:05] leadership
