Charlie Kirk Responds to Wall Street Journal Attack and Trump's Historic Epstein Grand Jury Unsealing Order

[00:00] Folks, let me tell you about my good

[00:01] friend Todd Nettleton from The Voice of

[00:03] the Martyrs. For over two decades, Todd

[00:05] has risked his life to bring attention

[00:07] to the persecution of Christians around

[00:09] the world. Now, he's written a powerful

[00:11] book called Faith is Forbidden detailing

[00:14] his travels and experiences. As a

[00:16] special gift to my listeners, you can

[00:18] get a free copy of this incredible book

[00:21] by simply clicking the link in the

[00:22] description below or call 844-4643043.

[00:30] Honored to be with you as always. Email

[00:32] us freedom@charliekirk.com.

[00:34] We are here at the mobile bitcoin.com

[00:37] studio. That is the mobile bitcoin.com

[00:40] studio.

[00:44] The studio is playing some music here.

[00:47] [Music]

[00:51] Oh, is that uh

[00:53] I I get along with a little help of my

[00:55] friends. Oh, baby.

[00:58] Joe Crocker.

[01:01] Happy Friday, everybody. There's some

[01:03] breaking news happening that developed

[01:05] last night. I get along with a little

[01:06] help of my friends. Brian's looking

[01:08] around very confused.

[01:11] It'll all make sense in just a second.

[01:13] Breaking last night, the Wall Street

[01:15] Journal attempted a terrible driveby, as

[01:19] the great Rush Limbbo would say it, as

[01:20] I'm wearing my Rush was right t-shirt,

[01:23] of our phenomenal president. I mean this

[01:26] as soon as I read the story I said this

[01:28] is the dumbest obviously fakest thing. I

[01:31] don't believe it. Apparently it was some

[01:33] sort of like a pseudo love letter. The

[01:37] bombshell story was some kind of

[01:39] birthday card album assem assembled for

[01:42] Epstein by Galain Maxwell in 2003.

[01:46] There's no photo of the letter in

[01:48] question or the birthday cards

[01:49] supposedly sent by other people. It only

[01:52] described by the Wall Street Journal,

[01:54] which also cites people familiar with

[01:56] them, so they clearly didn't see the

[01:57] whole thing. The card has some sort of a

[02:00] handdrawn illustration of a naked woman

[02:02] done in marker and then Donald Trump's

[02:04] signature over her midsection to

[02:07] apparently imitate pubic hair. It's just

[02:09] like so for Epstein's 50th birthday. The

[02:13] implication is that Trump might have

[02:14] made this illustration himself, which

[02:16] just sounds so bizarre. When has he ever

[02:18] done anything like this? Look, I have

[02:20] several

[02:21] handwritten notes from President Trump.

[02:23] He's not a doodler. He He's not a draw.

[02:26] I mean, this is this is nothing like him

[02:28] at all. I mean,

[02:31] these are Yeah. So,

[02:35] there's a typed up third person

[02:37] conversation between Trump and Epste

[02:39] where the lines attributed to Trump

[02:40] don't sound like him at at all. Like

[02:42] this quote, "Enigmas never age." Okay,

[02:45] let me just say this. I I know the

[02:47] president. You guys know the president.

[02:49] You have watched him for over a decade

[02:51] do MAGA rallies ever since he went down

[02:53] the golden escalator. Does quote enigmas

[02:56] never age quote may every day be a

[02:58] wonderful secret. Does that sound like

[03:01] President Donald Trump?

[03:03] Trump never said that says Trump says

[03:06] this was all a hoax and says as far as

[03:07] he's concerned it sounds like it.

[03:09] Nothing sounds remotely like Trump that

[03:11] he would write up on his own. And so the

[03:12] Wall Street Journal releases this last

[03:14] night. Now, I quickly and we quickly

[03:18] came to the president's defense because

[03:19] this thing was obviously a hit job.

[03:21] Obviously, a drive-by shooting trying to

[03:23] go after President Trump, trying to tie

[03:25] some of the Epstein news to President

[03:28] Trump to try to bring down his approval

[03:31] ratings and try to weaken him. Right

[03:34] after that though was a like literally

[03:36] within an hour, President Donald Trump

[03:39] announced a bombshell development,

[03:42] massive, where President Donald Trump

[03:44] announced that he is authorizing Pam

[03:47] Bondi to move to unseal the grand jury

[03:51] testimony in the Galileain Maxwell case.

[03:53] We discussed this a couple times

[03:55] throughout the week. This is a massive

[03:58] development. This is something that

[03:59] needs to be focused on for for any of

[04:01] you that care about the Epstein story.

[04:03] What's likely to be in the transcripts?

[04:05] Well, testimony of Epstein and Maxwell

[04:07] victims and witnesses. In particular,

[04:10] their actions, their associations,

[04:11] locations, and timelines. Discussions of

[04:14] physical and documentary evidence is

[04:16] likely to be in there. Uh Maxwell's

[04:18] phone wiretap records, log books,

[04:20] private island, and photographic

[04:21] evidence. We don't know for sure if

[04:23] that's going to be in there, but any

[04:24] references to any of that stuff very

[04:26] well might be in the grand jury

[04:28] documents. However, certain experts note

[04:30] that these transcripts may be limited in

[04:32] scope. Uh they will focus on Epstein and

[04:35] Maxwell, not on the broader allegations

[04:37] among other high-profile individuals.

[04:39] But still, this is a phenomenal

[04:41] development, and thank you, President

[04:43] Trump, and thank you to this Trump

[04:44] administration. So, the team decided to

[04:46] play, you know, I get along with the

[04:48] help of my friends as a little bit kind

[04:49] of a as a light-hearted joke and a

[04:51] little bit of a wink and a nod. You see,

[04:54] I went viral uh this week because I

[04:56] said, "Look, a lot of people that I know

[04:58] in the administration, my friends and

[05:00] the White House staff and throughout the

[05:01] government, uh they were working on this

[05:03] that your voices were heard over the

[05:05] weekend at the student action summit and

[05:07] people were mocking me. They say, "Oh,

[05:09] Charlie, do you trust the government?" I

[05:10] said, "Look, okay, was I a I'm not

[05:13] saying I trust the government." I say,

[05:14] "My friends are working on this." Well,

[05:15] it turns out it's well, it looks like

[05:18] they were and they deserve great credit

[05:19] for it. for all the White House staff,

[05:21] for everyone that was involved in this,

[05:22] and especially of course the president.

[05:25] This is a massive move and one that is

[05:27] met with celebration and one that is met

[05:29] with gratitude and one that honestly

[05:31] shows that President Trump is moving in

[05:33] a transparent way that Joe Biden never

[05:35] moved. Joe Biden very well could have

[05:37] moved to uh unseal the grand jury

[05:40] documents. Many of these things have

[05:42] been in the works, and I didn't know how

[05:45] long any of this was going to take,

[05:46] obviously. Uh, and look, this this show

[05:49] is full of at times little Easter eggs

[05:51] and tidbits. And instead of assuming the

[05:53] worst, perhaps I want everyone to see

[05:55] things more clearly. And again, has

[05:58] President Trump not earned our trust at

[06:00] this time. That's what I was trying to

[06:01] say back on Monday, and maybe I said it

[06:03] a little imprecisely after a sleepless

[06:05] weekend and a high adrenaline event.

[06:08] What I was trying to get at is after the

[06:10] tariffs, after the Iran a after the Iran

[06:12] situation, after all the successes,

[06:15] President Donald Trump is worthy of our

[06:18] confidence. We should have a full

[06:19] confidence vote in President Donald

[06:21] Trump. And throughout the entire week, I

[06:24] know that there was a lot of question

[06:26] of, hey, what's going on here? What's

[06:28] going on here? And now here we are on

[06:30] Friday. Number one, he gets attacked

[06:32] just relentlessly by the Wall Street

[06:34] Journal in such an uncalled for way. and

[06:36] we have his back 100% against this

[06:38] smearing and the slandering. And then

[06:41] number two, President Donald Trump has

[06:43] authorized Pam Bondi in a in a historic

[06:46] way to show a commitment to transparency

[06:48] and what he has said this entire week

[06:53] and he has always had an ace in the hole

[06:55] to play. Boom. Last night, President

[06:58] Donald Trump drops this massive news and

[07:01] President Donald Trump has been alluding

[07:02] to that all week. I want the credible

[07:04] information out. You know, if it's

[07:06] credible, we should get it out. And the

[07:07] grand jury documentation largely is

[07:09] credible and should be received as such.

[07:11] And also, let's just be honest,

[07:13] everybody. We do not want what has

[07:15] happened this last week to slow down the

[07:17] momentum of this great administration.

[07:18] We're not going to let that happen on

[07:19] this program. This is very important.

[07:21] And the president deserves thanks. So,

[07:24] for any of you in the audience that were

[07:26] a little uneasy, that were a little

[07:27] anxious, I think it's morally incumbent

[07:30] on you to say thank you, President

[07:31] Trump. Thank you for stepping up and for

[07:34] doing this. Thank you, President Trump,

[07:36] for fulfilling what you said you were

[07:38] going to do because he does deserve

[07:39] credit. And the entire White House

[07:41] administration deserves credit because

[07:44] they've been dealing with 900 different

[07:46] things. And I know that patience in the

[07:48] time of social media is a virtue that is

[07:51] lost. It's very difficult for a lot of

[07:53] us. I'm one of the most impatient people

[07:54] imaginable. My entire team will tell

[07:55] you, "Where's it going? What's happening

[07:57] in real time?" Mikey will attest to

[07:59] this. I'm the most one of the most

[08:00] impatient people ever created on God's

[08:03] green earth. But President Donald Trump,

[08:04] we should take a step back. He's doing a

[08:06] phenomenal job. The border secure. The

[08:08] economy is doing much better. He's

[08:09] ending wars all over the world. That he

[08:12] has earned one of my favorite words in

[08:15] the English language. He has earned our

[08:17] confidence.

[08:19] He has earned it.

[08:23] And I think we should say at this

[08:26] particular time, this is a massive move.

[08:29] It is a major move that is deserving of

[08:32] gratitude and of thanks

[08:35] with all the other stuff that he's

[08:36] working on. But also, it was very fun to

[08:39] see. Nothing unites MAGA like fake news.

[08:43] And it was also so interesting because

[08:46] the DOJ news became second. It was very

[08:49] telling

[08:51] when

[08:52] to see who actually came to the

[08:55] president's defense when this Wall

[08:57] Street Journal piece was dropped. It was

[08:59] very telling. A lot of people were

[09:00] coming to the president's defense after

[09:02] the Pam Bondi news, but it was very

[09:05] telling

[09:07] that

[09:08] a lot of people did not defend the

[09:10] president there. I mean, this is so

[09:11] ridiculous. Someone said, "What? This is

[09:13] like the picture of Donald Trump. The

[09:15] Donald Trump did this. It's such a joke

[09:17] that, you know, he's like some sort of

[09:18] doodler and now he's some, you know,

[09:20] he's he's Robert Frost or something as a

[09:23] poet. It It doesn't read like him. It

[09:25] doesn't sound like him. I don't believe

[09:27] it.

[09:29] I will say though, the Wall Street

[09:31] Journal story does not pass the smell

[09:33] test. Why didn't Democrats use this

[09:35] story years ago? It's a good question.

[09:37] Nothing unites MAGA quite like fake

[09:39] news. Last night was a big night. We say

[09:41] thank you, President Trump. And now it's

[09:44] in the hands of the courts. It's in the

[09:45] hands of the Department of Justice and

[09:47] we'll see what happens.
