Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here live from the Bitcoin.com studio. It's revealed that Mr. Garcia, who the Democrats fight so hard for, has MS-13 tattoos. That's right. He's part of MS-13 and the Democrats will fly all the way to El Salvador to try to bring him back. I want you to think about that. They want the terrorist or the gang member back in America.

Mr. Garcia, Abrego Garcia, getting a lot of attention right now.
Makes you wonder, Gilmar Abrego Garcia, what is it about him that animates the Democrats so much? As I was flying back from the Palouse, hometown of Emma, I was flipping through X, formerly known as Twitter, which I try to limit myself only to about 30 minutes a day on X. It's just not good for your brain. It's not good for your cognitive thinking. I find that about 30 minutes is enough to kind of get a vibe of what is going on. And then I try to read books and listen to podcasts and stay away from all that chatter and all that noise.
But the left was super excited that the senator from Maryland was able to sip margaritas poolside with Kilmar Arbrego Garcia in South Salvador. Kilmar Arbrego Garcia is in his home country. He's home. He is not an American. He's never been a legal American. He was an invader on our land. He was a trespasser in our country.
Doesn't matter if he was a Maryland dad. They should have said he was an El Salvadorian gang member. So Kirmar Abrego Garcia sat down poolside with the senator from Maryland, Van Hollen, to meet. And very interestingly, I think Bukele is playing chess. Naib Bukele. He said, I love playing chess. The president of El Salvador. Last evening, they posted pictures of them together meeting. And we found something rather interesting.
Put this up on screen. The MS-13 tattoos that Garcia had on his knuckles. Oh, interesting. You see that on screen? And for those of you listening on podcast or radio, we'll make this available. It's already available on all of the Charlie Kirk social media pages and charliekirk.com. So the Maryland dad and the Maryland father has MS-13 on his knuckles.
The middle finger is a serpent, S. The index finger is a marijuana leaf. A tattoo is documentation by gang standards. I was told that there's no evidence that he was part of MS-13. Well, look right there. This Maryland dad has MS-13. Now, I know what you're thinking.
A lot of really good citizens that you know that live in your neighborhood also get MS-13 tattooed on their knuckles. And how dare we assume that just because this guy...
was in court documents, a wife beater, and from El Salvador. How dare we assume that he's part of MS-13 just because he has MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles? Happens all the time. In fact, I'm sure this Easter Sunday, when you're going around meeting some of your fellow Christian brothers and sisters, when you shake their hands, say, hey, happy Easter, you want to make sure when you look at their tattoos, oh, wow, you also have an MS-13 on there. Happens all the time. Now, I'm not a gang tattoo expert, but
What else could MS-13 mean? Looks pretty simple to me. Marijuana leaf equals M. Smiley face equals S. A cross, one. And a skull designed as a three. If you have a more plausible explanation, email me, freedom at charliekirk.com. Not a good look for the Democrat Party, but that again goes to show that Van Hollen will fly to go try and get a foreigner back in America.
Let me reiterate for everyone that might be missing this. He is not an American and he will never be an American. He is not a U.S. citizen. He is not part of this country. He was an he was an illegal occupier on this land. He is an invader. And so he gets deported back to his country and the senator gets all worked up. And it's not just him. The base of the Democrat Party thinks this is a winning issue for them. And let me also just say this.
He's not a undocumented immigrant. He is one of the most documented illegals in the history ever. We have nothing but documents on this guy. We got court documents. We got charging documents. We got travel documents. We got manifest. We have nothing but documents when it comes to Mr. Abrego Garcia. And the Democrat Party is applauding this. In fact, they think this is a win. This is phenomenal.
Because Garcia, in their perfect world, they want a foreign gang member back into America. They want to repatriate him back to this country. I'll be very honest. This is a hill for our side to die on. Very simple. If the Democrats want to make their agenda all about Mr. Abrego Garcia, who beat his wife, that's right, is a wife beater, game on.
If this is all of a sudden what you want to make the deportation fight. Now, I was wrong about something. I thought the deportation fight was going to be about like little girls that were being deported with their families and these pictures of these sobbing girls. Little did I know that the Democrat Party and the major members of the media think this is an individual worth fighting for.
And going all in for it. There are also reports, we don't know if they're true or not, that he's a human trafficker. Wouldn't surprise me. And he's got those MS-13 right there on his knuckles. This galvanizes the base of the Democrat Party. This inspires them. Because look at the heroes the Democrat Party is getting behind. They're getting behind Carmelo Anthony.
who is a young black man who brutally stabbed a white student to death. That is a new rallying cry at the base of the Democrat Party. They're selling merch of Carmel Anthony's face. They get behind this lunatic, who's an El Salvadorian gang member, MS-13 member. And then they also previously got behind George Floyd as if he was some sort of hero, like he's John the Baptist. The very, very robust criminal history.
The Democrat platform, as they are presenting it to you right now, is to get MS-13 gang members out of prison and to get biological boys into girls' locker rooms.
And the Democrats, they're already all in on this. They have already put all their chips on the table. As if we look at this guy, can we just put him up on screen? Is that a gang member that elicits a lot of sympathy? Is that what someone says? You know, we need more of that guy. He beats his wife, might be human trafficking, has knuckle tattoos that say MS-13, is from El Salvador and in charging documents has said that other gangs might hurt him and he needs asylum because of that. And he was never invited into the country. He was never here with proper warrant. He was never...
given proper admission to the United States of America? Is that the type of guy that we really want? The Democrat Party says yes. They care more about him. In fact, they think he is more of an American than the welder in Columbus, Ohio. They think he is more of an American than the pipe fitter in Allenton, Pennsylvania. This is the face of what the Democrat Party cares about. But let's just be happy about one thing. He's home. Abrego Garcia is back at home. America is not his home.
America was the place he came to loot and plunder, to illegally occupy. And he should be thanking us. He's back home in El Salvador, back with his people. And Mr. Bukele says, I'm not sending him back. He's an El Salvadorian citizen. And we'll take it from here.

I was talking to Stephen Miller last night, and the Trump administration is adamant this is a foreign citizen, now in his country of origin,
The story is over. Let's play cut 200, please. Two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13. When President Trump declared MS-13 to be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant that he was no longer eligible under federal law, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States. So we had a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he's not even allowed to be present in the United States.
and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation. And the Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 9-0 unanimously, stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the President could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador, who again is a member of MS-13,
A member of MS-13. How about this one here? This is the chief legal correspondent, Paula Reid, who goes on the news saying Trump is not violating the Supreme Court. Let's play cut 196.
And President Trump and President Bukele made it clear that Abrego Garcia will not be returned to the United States, despite this U.S. Supreme Court ruling saying that Trump had to facilitate his return. So are they just ignoring a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, or is the fact that the ruling was so mushy, in your words, giving him an opening?
It's a technical term I learned in law school, Jake. Look, they're working within the ambiguity that the Supreme Court justices gave them. They did not order the administration to return him to the United States. They said that they need to facilitate this return. They could have said we order him returned, but they didn't do that. Here's the best one. And I just have to reiterate it. Blake makes a good point in the chat. The key thing is not even MS-13.
The key point is that he's an illegal and illegal immigrants don't belong in America. But even more the we learn about it, the more extraordinary this case becomes. Here's Michael Strahan, who I've always liked Michael Strahan for the record. I think he's fun and lively and he's probably woke, but whatever. I think he's he's got a good heart. He's got a good way about him. Michael Strahan asks the wife of Kermar Albrego Garcia about the restraining order she took out against him.
Interesting. Hey, I got some good news for you, honey. He's not going to be able to beat you from El Salvador. You're safe now. Play cut 371. And I know this is a sensitive question, but I have to ask it. You did take out a temporary order of protection against your husband in 2021. Were you in fear of your husband? Husband is alive. That's all I can say. Okay. You know, I'm not going to push on that, apparently. Okay. Okay.
Does that sound like a love story? Does that sound like someone who's really thrilled? My husband's alive. Well, you're much safer now. You took out a protective order against this guy. And I got to tell you, now all of a sudden, you are going to be in a much safer place. Now, she may have been threatened by other MS-13 gang members. She very well might have been threatened by other members of the gang. Let's get back down to fundamental elements here, though.
If you're here in this country, illegally, you do not have a right to belong. Period. The MS-13 wife-beating elements of this make it even more an easier argument for us to make. But the Democrat Party, this is their hill that they are dying on. Bukele says, how can I return him there? Play cut 201. Both of them are suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right?
To smuggle him back to the United States, email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

badly. So joining us now is Maxime Bernier. I think I said that correctly. People's party of Canada dot C.A. The election is on April 28th. Welcome, sir. Please introduce yourself to our audience.
Thank you very much, Charlie. I'm very pleased to be with you. That's a nice opportunity. Yes, I'm the leader of the People's Party of Canada. We are the populist, the free market political party that is fighting to keep and preserve our country and our Western civilization values.
You know, that movement in Canada, the populist movement is growing and we are in the middle of an election right now here in Canada. The election day will be April 28th, not next Monday, but the Monday after.
So I want to thank you because we are like, you know, other populist party in Europe, canceled by the mainstream media. My goal is to speak about our platform and explain to Canadians, you know,
You know that there's only way to save this country is to end the mass immigration. That's something that is happening in Canada. We have mass immigration and we are the only political party at the national level that is ready to have a moratorium on immigration to preserve our country. Yes. So talk more about that. What is it?
about Canada that Canada currently seems at least united with the Liberal Party about having foreigners come and replace native Canadians. Explain to our viewers the scale of this mass migration.
Yes, actually, Canada, we are 40 million people here in Canada, and the growth of our population last year was 2.7%. And if you compare that with the growth of the population in Western countries, that was 0.5%. So the growth of our population was five times bigger than the average growth of the Western countries.
And actually, if you look at the data, 97% of the growth of our population is coming from immigration. So that is the replacement theory in action. If you have that for a couple of years, you know, that will be the end of our country. So that's important. And actually, 70% of Canadians are saying we must end mass immigration.
But the two main political establishment, political parties, the Conservative Party of Canada, they are fake conservative. And like in the US, you know, you have the Republican and the Rhino, Republican in name only. The Conservative Party of Canada is like that. They are conservative in name only. The Conservative Party
and the Liberals, both of them are okay with mass immigration. So our position is to end that because it's destroying the social fabric of our country. And we are immigrants coming from Asia and other countries
who don't share our values. We are bringing people from third world countries. And when you're doing that, your country, Canada, will become a third world country. And that's happening right now. It is. So I want to play a piece of tape here that is from you with Tucker Carlson.
And let's go here to your discussion with – let's just say – let's play cut 357 as a nice segue. And our position is we won't have any impact on the politics in Middle East. That's you in the U.S. will have the greater impact there. So that's why I'm saying –
I don't want to speak about that. That's not our issue. And same thing for the war in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine, I was the only leader saying, no, we must not participate in that war. But Polyev and Trudeau at that time and Narkarny, they are pro-war and they are pro, you know, the war in Ukraine. And actually right now, President Trump, he's doing the right thing. Try to have a peace deal with Russia and
Talk a little bit about that, but also just more broadly. I mean, in Canada, there's TikTok videos about third worlders that show up to food banks in Canada and just take all the food, which is just third world behavior. Is there a grassroots movement in Canada that is rising up against this?
Yes, absolutely. It's happening. Right now, I'm in Alberta and in Edmonton. I did a rally yesterday. We had a lot of people. People are fed up. Canadians are very polite. But when we speak about immigration, what they don't like, it's for the mainstream political parties, it is not an issue. But you're right. These foreigners who are coming to our country are
are bringing with them their conflicts, their internal conflicts in their country of origin on our streets. And people are fed up with that. We have more and more people that are saying, you know, enough is enough. And actually, that's why I think that this election must be on immigration.
But the mainstream parties are doing everything for the election to be against Trump, President Trump. Like I said in that segment, they are pro-wars. I'm the only one who is pro-peace and prosperity. Like we were saying no to the war in Ukraine. Actually, the federal government spent $20 billion that they gave to Ukraine. That is a corrupt government.
And we have huge deficit here. We need to stop that. But you're right, it's coming. Because when I started to speak about immigration in 2019, that was our first electoral campaign. We created the People's Party in 2018. So in 2019, I was saying we need to control our immigration. And the mainstream media were saying, oh, Bernier is a racist, racist.
He doesn't have the right to speak about that. But I was right at that time. The People's Party was right at that time. And now, you know, we need to have that moratorium. And the mainstream media are not speaking about mass immigration because they don't want that to be an important discussion during that election. Shame on them.
So talk about the conservative opposition, Pierre Polyev. I'm sure I'm butchering that pronunciation. What is your thoughts on his candidacy? Pierre Polyev was a real conservative during the leadership contest when he wanted to be the leader of the conservative party. He was speaking like a conservative. But now Pierre Polyev wants to be the prime minister of Canada and he
tries to please everybody and is pandering to the left. So, what you have right now, just for example, on immigration, you know, here's for another 250,000 foreigners a year, every year, plus international students, plus
temporary foreign workers plus refugees. That would be about 1.5 million foreigners over three years for a country of 40 million people. So, Polyev is like the liberals on that issue. Polyev is like the liberals also
on climate change. We had a debate yesterday here in Canada on national TV, and Poliev said that CO2 is a pollutant. We need to capture CO2. We need to be part of the Paris Accord and do everything to fight climate change. For Poliev and Carney, Carney is the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, we are in the middle of a climate crisis.
We are not. We want to do like what President Trump did, withdraw from the Paris Accord, and we don't want to spend any money to try to change the climate. So on immigration, climate change, and on also being a real fiscal conservative.
For Polyev and Carney, they're okay with huge deficit and they are telling Canadians that they won't balance the budget. Here in Canada, just for your viewers, Justin Trudeau, the former Liberal leader and our former Prime Minister, doubled our debt that we accumulated over 148 years.
Over 148 years, we accumulated a debt in Canada of $600 billion. And Trudeau, in only nine years, was able to double that to $1,200 billion. So big debts, big deficit, and now we are paying in Canada the inflation tax. We have inflation, and with that inflation,
commercial war against the U.S. that we won't win. We are imposing more taxes on Canadians. So on these issues, Polyev and Carney are the same. They believe in big deficit, huge debt, and that's not the solution. We need to be fiscally responsible. We need to do like President Trump is doing in the U.S.,
being sure to control our expenses. And I said, you know, we need to downsize the federal government to have a smaller government in Ottawa to give more freedom to Canadians and more autonomy to our provinces here in Canada. One minute remaining. What does polling show? Are you guys gaining momentum and educate the audience on how short the window is in Canadian politics?
Yeah, we still have 10 days before the election and that's going well. I can tell you we have a momentum. The mainstream media won't speak about that. And we may make history at this election. We may have our first candidate elected in Parliament already.
As you know, it's a little bit more difficult because we are in a parliamentary system. It is first past the post. There's no proportionality in our electoral system. But that being said, we have a momentum, I believe, that we'll be able to elect our first candidate and start that common sense revolution in Parliament after that election.
Very good. And finally, the website for people to support you. What is the website? Yeah, they can go on our website, People's Party of Canada.ca. They can read our platform. It's all about common sense and smarter government fighting for Western civilization values. They can go on at the People's Party of Canada.ca. And for your Canadian audience, if they want to help us, they can donate also. Very good. Have a great Good Friday. Thank you, sir. Talk to you soon. Best of luck. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you.

The president is taking questions live. I want to get down to another very important story here as we are processing what the president is doing. The ongoing conflict we are seeing between the administration and Harvard is quite amazing. I want to play cut 187 here. This is Harvard University, which is a hedge fund, which with a college attached, thinking they're entitled to $2 billion in taxpayer funding.
$2 billion of your money. We should defund every single one of these schools. Think about it. It's $2 billion to Harvard, a billion to Yale. Now, I'm sure there's some good research that is happening at some of these schools. I hope. Why can't they finance it themselves? Why can't they go raise the money from donors? They're sitting on a $50 billion cash pile. Play cut 187.
Breaking just moments ago, Harvard's lawyers say that the university will not comply with the Trump administration's demands in a brand new letter. It reads in part, quote, Harvard is not prepared to agree to demands that go beyond the lawful authority of this or any administration. Sandra, the administration have been threatening to pull federal funding from a lot of these Ivy League schools if they didn't get their ducks in order when it comes to fighting anti-Semitism on campus. They're not bluffing. They've already pulled the funding, so...
Harvard is essentially saying, are they trying to call a bluff here? Yeah. So I imagine there will be a quick response and we'll have that for you when it happens. So here's one part where I disagree slightly. These campuses are obviously super anti-Semitic. They're full of Jew hatred.
But the better case is how these campuses, very simple, how Harvard has ignored the Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. That is where all of our attention should be. That is their weak spot. They have ignored a Supreme Court decision. Harvard is in contempt of Congress. And all the attention is just about the anti-Semitism. Look, it's not just anti-Semitism, anti-white, anti-American. It's all of it. It's all an outgrowth of a left-wing worldview.
It is all an outgrowth of a postmodernist worldview. So Harvard should be completely and totally defunded. So should Yale, Cornell, Columbia. The current composition of the higher education cartel, the college cartel, is one that is sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars. If you add up the endowment totals from Stanford, from Harvard, the endowment totals of the major universities—
You're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars of tax-free money, tax-free money. And they want another $2 billion a year is what Harvard University wants. It's all going to come to an end. We have to end it once and for all. But Harvard has all their little minions running over Washington, D.C., and they have a lot of friends, a lot of powerful friends. Harvard is the top-level credentialing institution in the country, the top of the credentialing operation.
Why would we subsidize and further subsidize these Marxist boot camps, islands of totalitarianism that allow the credential class unearned credibility? It really is unearned credibility that goes at the core of some of the biggest problems that we have here in the West. They hate the promise of the Constitution. They don't talk about our founding documents. Harvard is a great fight for President Trump to engage in. This is not punching down. They are a behemoth.
It's time for us to lean in and play offense against every one of these massive schools. And you want to talk about a popular view with folks in Pennsylvania and Michigan, Wisconsin, where they can't afford groceries and they're just trying to get out of Biden's inflation. Going after these monstrosities is a very popular political argument.
I've said for a while that college is a scam, but more than ever, for $2 billion a year to Harvard, while they're sitting on $50 billion, that ends. It ends now. It's a school that won't even allow me to speak on campus. Pull the funding. Make Harvard fund itself. Go fund yourself, Harvard. Thanks so much for listening.
