Charlie is also the Chairman of Students for Trump, which aims to activate one million new college voters on campuses in battleground states in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election. His social media reaches over 100 million people per month and according to Axios, he is one of the "top 10 most engaged" Twitter handles in the world.

Charlie Kirk shares messages from President Trump following the Iran crisis resolution, discussing how the president achieved zero U.S. casualties and mobilized an international coalition without escalation. As Trump heads to NATO, Kirk argues he's "on a roll" with the hot hand after brokering peace between India and Pakistan, managing the Iran situation, and potentially solving the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Kirk predicts Trump will confront NATO allies about their contributions and push for peace deals that traditional diplomatic channels would take weeks to accomplish. With references to the Triple Crown and Michael Jordan's championship Bulls, Kirk makes the case that Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for putting America and Western civilization first while using American power for peacemaking rather than nation building.
Trump's Direct Communication on Iran Success
Charlie Kirk opens by sharing direct messages from President Trump, who asked him to post specific observations about the Iran crisis resolution. The first message highlighted the key achievements: no nukes for Iran, no troops on the ground, no U.S. troops dead, no regime change, no nation building, and no war. Trump signed it with "Thanks, Charlie," acknowledging Kirk's characterization of it as a "historic master class."
The second message Trump wanted posted emphasized the remarkable outcome metrics: zero U.S. casualties, zero Iranian missiles hitting U.S. bases, zero need for U.S. retaliation, and a large international and regional coalition mobilized to shoot down Iranian missiles. Kirk describes this as "clearly an extremely positive outcome for America and President Trump," urging people to "take the W and offramp the deescalation" while praying for peace.
The Pursuit of the Peace Triple Crown
Kirk draws a sports analogy, comparing Trump's potential peace achievements to winning the Triple Crown in horse racing. He suggests Trump could win what he calls the "Triple Crown of peace" or even a "quadruple crown" if he can solve multiple conflicts. While acknowledging the Israel-Gaza situation remains complex, Kirk expresses strong support for Israel while noting that nobody wants a long, drawn-out conflict.
The real prize, Kirk suggests, would be solving the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He emphasizes that 6,500 people were killed in that war just last week, making the urgency clear. Kirk believes that if Trump ends the Russia-Ukraine war, it would be "no contest" for a Nobel Peace Prize, noting sarcastically that Obama received one "for breathing."
Trump's Arrival at NATO
Kirk paints a vivid picture of what he expects when Trump arrives at NATO headquarters. He imagines the German professors and engineers who staff NATO sitting in rooms, analyzing and measuring everything, now nervously anticipating Trump's arrival. Kirk predicts Trump will come "right off Air Force One" and immediately confront NATO allies: "You need to pay more and you need to pay more and you're a waste of time. What the hell are you doing? Why is this war going on?"
Kirk notes that while he's seen Trump upset before, he hasn't seen him publicly angry with the intensity displayed recently. He explains what makes Trump genuinely mad: "innocent killing after you gave your word." Throughout indictments and two impeachments, Trump remained stoic like Marcus Aurelius, Kirk observes, but betrayals of trust and unnecessary deaths trigger a different response.
The Hot Hand Strategy
Using a sports metaphor, Kirk describes Trump as having "the hot hand," comparing him to Michael Jordan with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. He recalls the Bulls' six championships without a single loss and the certainty that in critical moments, the ball would go to Jordan regardless of what the opposing team knew or how they defended. Kirk mentions the famous scene from "The Last Dance" documentary where Jordan whispered to Steve Kerr that he might pass him the ball in a critical moment.
Kirk applies this to Trump's current situation: "Trump's got the hot hand. India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran. Let's get the trifecta. Let's get the triple crown." He argues that Trump is using "American power for good," contrasting this with Dick Cheney's use of American power for nation building. Kirk emphasizes that Trump is "putting Western civilization first, America first, our country first."
Disrupting Traditional Diplomacy
Kirk concludes by celebrating Trump as "the disruptor" and "the peacemaker," contrasting his approach with traditional State Department diplomatic channels. He mocks the bureaucratic process that would have involved five-week timelines, committee meetings, and concerns about DEI representation. Instead, Trump achieved peace in the Middle East quickly and efficiently, and Kirk believes peace is coming to Russia-Ukraine through the same direct approach.
The message is clear: Kirk sees Trump as uniquely positioned to achieve multiple historic peace deals precisely because he rejects conventional diplomatic processes in favor of direct, forceful engagement. As Trump heads to NATO, Kirk expects nothing less than a full-throttle confrontation with allies who haven't lived up to their commitments, all in service of ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict and securing Trump's legacy as a historic peacemaker.

Okay, everybody, welcome back. Email us
0:01
freedom@charleykirk.com. I actually just
0:03
got a note uh from the president via his
0:05
team. If we could put this up on screen,
0:07
he said to post it uh because he he
0:10
liked it. He saw it on social media. I
0:12
said, "No nukes for Iran, no troops on
0:14
the ground, no US troops dead, no regime
0:16
change, no nation building, no war.
0:17
President Trump with historic master
0:19
class." And he says, "Post it. Thanks,
0:21
Charlie." And he uh signed it, which is
0:23
pretty awesome. And then he also signed
0:24
another one that I will uh put up here.
0:26
He said to post it, so we're putting it
0:28
up on live on air.
0:31
And here's the other one, which is zero
0:33
US casualties, zero Iranian missiles hit
0:35
US bases, zero need for the US to
0:38
retaliate as of now. A large
0:39
international and regional coalition
0:40
mobilized to shoot down Iranian
0:42
missiles. This is clearly an extremely
0:43
positive outcome for America and
0:44
President Trump. Take the W and offramp
0:46
the deescalation. Pray for peace. He
0:48
signed it. It's pretty awesome. And that
0:50
shows where President Trump's mindset is
0:52
and has been this entire time.
0:55
So now he's heading to NATO with By the
0:58
way, could you imagine if he has the
0:59
trifecta? What do they call it in horse
1:02
racing? If you if you win the Kentucky
1:06
Derby and the the Triple Crown, thank
1:09
you, Blake. I think President Trump can
Triple Crown
1:12
win the Triple Crown here of peace.
1:14
Maybe the quadruple crown. Can he solve
1:16
Israel Gaza? By the way, BB I mean BB is
1:20
not He better just stay focused.
1:22
whatever President Trump says you should
1:24
do. President Trump delivered big for
1:26
Western civilization.
1:30
And I think with this Israel Gaza thing,
1:32
we got to come up with some situation.
1:33
It's not sustainable to go in the
1:35
current way it is. And I'm 100% on team
1:37
Israel with this. I think that people
1:38
are totally misrepresenting it. But no
1:40
one wants a long war. Nobody wants a
1:42
long drawn out conflict. Nobody wants
1:43
that. But imagine putting that one
1:45
aside, if President Trump can solve the
1:47
Ukrainian Russian one. Boy, imagine
1:51
right now you got these, but just you
1:52
understand these NATO operators. These
1:54
are like German professors. These are
1:56
like engineers and they measure
1:58
everything and they overanalyze
2:00
everything and they're kind of sitting
2:01
in a room right now. They say, "Oh,
2:05
President Trump's on his way." And uh
2:08
he's mad. I'm telling you right now,
2:11
President Donald Trump, he is going to
2:13
be a sight to see at NATO. He's going to
2:16
come right off Air Force One and he's
2:18
going to be like, "You need to pay more
2:20
and you need to pay more and you're a
2:21
waste of time. What the hell are you
2:23
doing? Why is this war going on?" And
2:26
people are saying, "Have you ever seen
2:27
Trump mad before?" Yes, I have seen
2:29
Trump mad before. I have not seen Trump
2:31
mad publicly like that for not like
2:33
that. I've seen him get upset, but that
2:36
kind of intensity and that kind of
2:38
ferocity, understand we saw him through
2:40
all these indictments. He was doing
2:42
courtroom pressers and he was stoic
2:44
throughout the entire thing. He got a
2:45
little upset. He was impeached twice and
2:48
he was like Marcus Aurelius. I mean, the
2:50
guy was centered. But what gets Donald
2:53
Trump mad? Innocent killing after you
2:57
gave your word. That's very important.
2:59
By the way, I fully support the dropping
3:00

3:01
do? We're just going to put up with this

On a Roll
3:34
And so now you got to imagine these NATO
3:36
people. They're all sitting around and
3:38
they're trying to say, "Okay, what what
3:39
is his mood?" You know, how does he feel
3:42
and President Trump is not happy about
3:44
this at all. 6,500 killed in the Russia
3:48
Ukrainian war last week. And he's on a
3:51
roll, man. You know, Trump's got the hot
3:53
hand to use kind of a sports analogy.
3:55
Like, feed the hot hand, man. Like, it's
3:58
it's kind of like one of those things.
4:00
The old the I again, I'm a huge 90 Bulls
4:02
fan. I think the 90s Bulls is what the
4:04
greatest sports team ever assembled. Six
4:06
championships, lost none. It's kind of
4:08
this old joke. It was like, "Okay, so we
4:12
got 12 seconds left. We have the ball.
4:15
We're going to go give the ball to
4:16
Dennis Rodman." Yeah, I don't think so.
4:19
Everyone Everybody knows the ball is
4:21
going to Michael Jordan. Everyone knows
4:23
it. The other coach knows it. Everybody
4:26
knows the ball's going to Michael
4:28
Jordan. You could triple team. The
4:29
ball's still going to Michael Jordan.
4:31
And he's got the hot hand. And that's
4:32
that's Trump right now. Boom. Peace with
4:34
India Pakistan. Boom. And it's true.
4:36
Steve Kerr did get it once cuz there was
4:38
a misdirection. It's one of the great
4:40
scenes in The Last Dance. Michael is
4:43
whispering under the towel, "Hey, hey,
4:44
Steve, I uh might give you the ball."
4:46
And Steve Kerr's like, "Okay, got it."
4:48
And he's like screams at it and he's
4:50
like, "What the hell?" Is trying to wh
4:51
And by the way, Steve Curry is to the
4:53
left of Stalin, but that's a separate
4:54
issue for another time. But Trump's got
4:56
the hot hand. India, Pakistan, Israel,
5:00
Iran. Let's get the trifecta. Let's get
5:01
the triple crown. I'm telling you right
5:03
now, if he ends Russia Ukraine, it's
5:05
it's a no contest for a Nobel Peace
5:06
Prize. I think he should get it anyway.
5:08
Obama got it for breathing. Obama
5:11
got the Nobel Peace Prize. Ridiculous.
5:14
Trump should 100% get it. But he's on a
5:16
roll. And I would not want to be these
5:17
NATO people right now. These NATO people
5:19
that are going to try to strongarm
5:21
Trump. Whoop. Wrong time to do that. He
5:25
is on a roll, as he should be. He's
5:28
putting Western civilization first,
5:29
America first, our country first. He's
5:31
using American power for good. Dick
5:34
Cheney used American power for nation
5:37
building.
5:39
The the f the first thing that the
5:41
Germans are going to say is, "Can I get
5:42
a Diet Coke for you, Mr. President?" I
5:44
mean, he's going to be like blitzing out
5:46
of that plane. I'm telling you right
5:47
now. As he should be. That's the Trump
5:49
we want. We want Trump the disruptor. We
5:52
want Trump the peacemaker. We want Trump
5:54
to, you know, how long that this
5:55
peacemaking process would have happened
5:56
through normal diplomatic State
5:58
Department channels. It would have been
5:59
a fiveweek thing. Oh, we must have a
6:01
committee meeting and we must vote on it
6:03
and do we have a DEI representative? Oh,
6:06
no. Nonsense. We have peace in the
6:07
Middle East and I think peace is coming
6:09
to Russia, Ukraine.
