President Trump is bringing forth peace.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
Turning point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
What if I told you that President Trump was bringing about world peace?
Now, I'm not going to get ahead of myself here.
I know there's very hyperbolic meaning behind the phrase world peace.
I'm not trying to be exaggerating any form or fashion.
But what if I told you that instead of starting wars all across the planet, instead of getting us involved in World War III, that President Trump, who said we are going to bomb out of ISIS, was going to broker a peace deal in the Middle East, which is the Impossible Peace Deal, that will bring about harmony between Israel and other Arab nations.
If you would have said this with a straight face, when Donald Trump was going through the transition process right before he was going to be inaugurated, I remember it very well.
I was part of the presidential transition team myself.
People would have not just laughed you out of the room, it would have been a career ender.
It would have been the destruction of anyone taking you seriously.
It would have been the end of anyone taking you seriously.
But President Trump, through a tried, tested, and proven foreign policy approach, is bringing forth peace in the Middle East.
President Trump celebrated the signing of two different historic peace deals on the White House lawn today.
Under any other circumstances, this would have been the top of the news cycle, carried by every single channel and nonstop chatter on Twitter, on social media.
It would have been on every newspaper.
Could you imagine how the media would have reacted if it was Obama that held a ceremony and the signing of these peace deals?
Despite the activist media being more concerned about one sentence that he said to Bob Woodward, which we've already deconstructed and obliterated that entire line of attack, President Trump forged ahead.
He said the following quote: We're here this afternoon to change the course of history.
After decades of division and conflict, we mark the dawn of a new Middle East.
This is powerful, powerful stuff.
As we've previously said before on the Charlie Kirk show, it's hard to even describe the geopolitical significance of these accomplishments.
It's easy to say they're historic, but it's much deeper than that.
It is a game changer.
And now, President Trump has done this twice, not just in one term, but in one month.
So what exactly was being commemorated?
Because the activist media and all the other left-wing podcasts won't tell you.
They just care about protecting Joe Biden, defeating Donald Trump.
This was a deal between Israel, the state of Israel, the home of the Jews, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.
It meant that they would establish embassies in Israel, exchange ambassadors, and normalize economic relations.
So for those of you that have never been to Israel, I highly recommend it.
We're doing a trip next May, this coming May, I should say, to Israel, May 18th to the 28th.
You can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, if you guys are interested.
It's very fair pricing, very reasonable, freedom at charliekirk.com.
If you understand how Israel was formed, when Israel declared its independence the day after they declared their independence, they were invaded by every single Arab country.
The only thing that has kept the Sunnis and the Shias unified is their hatred of Jews and of Israel.
Whether it be the Six-Day War, whether it be the Arab conflicts that followed, whether it be the war that happened over the high holidays, Israel has been in a perpetual state of conflict with all of its Arab neighbors.
Now, Jordan would be an exception to that and Egypt, but Israel had to give up almost the entire Sinai Peninsula to broker that deal.
But whether it be Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and especially the golf actors, especially the financiers.
So President Trump and Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz, who's a friend of mine, they're all friends of mine, were absolutely brilliant in their approach here.
They grew exhausted, as did I, watching career diplomats and bureaucrats try the same sorts of tactics and approaches that just resulted in more dead Westerners, Jews, Israelis, and further conflict between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.
President Trump decided to capitalize on the one thing the Emiratis, Bahrain, most of the countries in the Middle East that are Sunni can all agree on.
That Iran is the enemy.
That Iran must be stopped.
That the Iranian mullahs and their aggressive military action and their partnering with China and their ranting and raving to destroy Israel and destroy America, that is something that they don't support.
So President Trump did is he took off the most controversial issues from negotiation early and decisively.
He canceled the Iran deal.
So while Joe Biden and Barack Obama, they did hundreds of billions of dollars in sanction relief to Iran and gave $1 billion in cash to Iran, literally loaded up an airplane, private jet, and sent it to Iran, President Trump had a different approach.
President Trump canceled the JCPOA, which is the Iran deal.
President Trump said, we are not going to allow Iran to get closer to a thermonuclear weapon.
Not going to happen.
And then President Trump said, it's about time that we recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Every single career diplomat that went to Harvard and Yale, including Ben Rhodes and all of the intelligentsia of Barack Obama that was supposed to be able to micromanage the Middle East and play a chess game on behalf of a different world, told us that if you moved the embassy to Jerusalem, it would start an all-out war in the Middle East.
Brilliant Bush Foreign Policy Shift 00:11:20
George W. Bush and his failed foreign policy was different than Barack Obama's.
George W. Bush was a neoconservative.
He sought conflict in the Middle East.
Now, it was warranted in some sense, mostly in the holding the Taliban and Al-Qaeda accountable for what they did in 9-11.
But the invasion of Iraq was a massive mistake.
Some say it was colonialism at its worst.
Hard to make that argument.
It is a misadventure in American hubris that we can invade every country and bring them liberty and freedom, and we are going to be the great liberators of Islamic theocratic fundamentalism.
The Iraq war was one of the worst decisions in American history.
And in no way am I diminishing the service of our heroes in our military.
You can be critical of foreign policy decisions while also admiring and loving the commitment our troops have made all across the planet.
You could do both.
In fact, I do.
I think it was actually not in our troops' best interest to invade Iraq.
The thousands of lives we lost, the trillions of dollars we spent, the geopolitical instability.
It was mistake after mistake after mistake.
When is the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs?
Big box store experts will tell you anytime, or they'll say, I don't know.

So to break this out further, traditionally in Washington, there were these two competing foreign policy worldviews.
One was neoconservative in nature.
This is what Billy Crystal, George W. Bush, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and even Hillary Clinton believe in, which it's even further than peace through strength.
It's much more aggressive than that.
It's much more belligerent.
It is nation-building.
It is America's role in the world should be active, should be involved, and that despite the mistakes and the blunders that America has made internationally, we are going to keep on dropping missiles.
We're going to keep on intervening overseas.
The best way to describe it, again, is a neoconservative view.
Both parties, by the way, including Joe Biden, held this view for many decades.
The other perspective is more of a Dennis Kucinich, more of a Ben Rhodes, more of a Bernie Sanders foreign policy, which is cut funding to the United States military, withdraw from all theaters simultaneously, do not act with any sort of force at all whatsoever on the world stage, and anyone that we have been tough on, like Iran, the inverse must be true,
which is such a foolish way to go about life, which is, since we've been so tough on Iran, it's time to give them money.
It's time to alleviate the sanctions.
Instead of looking at it correctly, which is maybe we've made a lot of mistakes, but maybe we also did some things right, such as our very aggressive approach to Iran.
President Trump had a very different perspective in foreign policy.
Unconventional in nature, pro-American in spirit, and precise in implementation.
President Donald Trump's goal was to end the endless wars.
Didn't make sense to him.
Why should it?
Why would having troops in Afghanistan for 20 years be in the best interest of the people of Ohio, Minnesota, Oregon, or Nevada?
It's not.
What is the geopolitical objective of trying to liberate the Kandahar Valley?
There is none.
Simultaneously, President Trump was disgusted when the Iranian mullahs were being supplied with Western dollars and being appeased endlessly.
Didn't make sense to him.
It's President Trump's fresh approach, and I write about this in my book, The MAGA Doctrine, which if you guys want to win a signed copy, you could type in Charlie Kirk's show, hit subscribe, give us a five-star review.
President Trump was repulsed that Iran, which is a huge state funder of terror, Iran that hates the West, Iran that hates Israel, was being treated as some sort of oppressed country on the international landscape.
So President Trump said, both of these schools of thinking are outdated and they are wrong.
The school of thinking of Jimmy Carter, which is similar to Barack Obama, and the school of thinking of George W. Bush.
I'm going to do something different.
I'm going to act decisively on things that have been decades-long controversial points and take it off the table.
Embassy to Jerusalem, you got it.
Golan Heights, recognize it.
Civil war did not break out.
Qassam Soleimani, take him off the grid.
Terrorists, drop the Moab, while simultaneously saying we have to end the endless wars.
Most of Washington does not have the capacity to think interdimensionally like this.
They don't.
Whereas President Trump is able to say in the same sentence that I want terrorists dead and I want wars to be ended.
Pretty simple, but unfortunately, far too often, we overcomplicate these things.
So President Trump's goal was to achieve a more peaceful and stable Middle East.
So he went about it by demonstrating to all of the Arab actors, you're either with Iran or you're with me.
It's that simple.
Choose sides.
If you're with Iran, good luck.
If you're with me, I'm going to protect you.
And if you're with me, that means you're also with Israel.
So this deal strikes at the heart of what the problem in the Middle East has been.
It's been Arab world versus Israel, instead of decent countries versus indecent countries.
That's the true divide.
Look, there's plenty of problems in Bahrain.
There's plenty of oppression in Bahrain.
The UAE has plenty of problems with human rights.
So does Saudi Arabia.
So does Kuwait.
That's not the point.
The point is, are you trying to move in the direction of Westernization?
And are you able to be in the same room as a Jewish person?
And if the answer is yes, we can work with you.
And so President Trump, changing the entire chessboard and the geopolitical landscape, very clearly said, we're going to hold Iran accountable, put on more sanctions, and suffocated their economy.
So the deal today moved to open historic sites and holy places in Israel to Muslims, such as the Al-Aska Mosque, because it's something that Muslims have been asking for for quite some time.
President Trump said this, the people of the Middle East will no longer allow hatred of Israel to be fomented as an excuse for radicalism or extremism.
So important, and they'll no longer allow the great destiny of their region to be denied.
You remember that President Trump's first overseas diplomatic venture was in 2017 to Saudi Arabia.
The media at the time ridiculed him and mocked him for his diplomatic efforts, but that trip was the first instance where he would lay the groundwork for peace in the Middle East.
Today he recalled that trip by saying, my message that day was very simple.
Unite against common enemies of civilization.
And this is just breaking as of this recording.
President Trump is announcing that he expects Saudi Arabia to join Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates in recognizing Israel.
Israel has never been able to earn the recognition of these Arab countries.
They have been under attack endlessly with missiles and rockets to delegitimize Israel.
President Trump has brought all these Arab actors and said, I will protect you.
We will work with you if you can recognize the state of Israel.
The home of the holiest site in the entire Muslim region is in Mecca, which is in Saudi Arabia.
Recognizing the world's only Jewish state is nothing short of momentous.
This is something that was previously unthinkable.
So what exactly is underpinning all these peace talks?
So let's dive deeper into this strategy, especially with the addition of Saudi Arabia into the mix.
President Trump is forming a grand coalition against Iran.
This is all about stopping Iran from establishing geopolitical hegemony in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia being their number one competitor for regional dominance.
And now mind you, I'm a Saudi skeptic.
I've talked about this before.
However, I think that the president is acting in America's best interest here.
Mike Pompeo said at the best, quote, that central decision has begun to drive all of the elements of our foreign policy in the Middle East, reduce our footprint in Afghanistan and get our young men and women home, reduce our footprints in Iraq and Syria and be strong in terms of sanctions and place pressure on the regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and then lay out a strategy for Middle East peace.
And then, Mike Pompeo said, we think about these deals in Bahrain and the Emirates as security arrangements.
That's true, but the benefits to the economies of those countries opening up to trade will be enormous.
This is brilliant foreign policy.
This is what it looks like to run a non-traditional approach to a problem that was created by politicians and dictators and plagued the world for centuries.
This is what it looks like when a businessman and his team tackle problems.
They isolate the issue.
They bring the parties to the table.
They ask the tough questions of why things were being done a certain way.
And they make a deal that tackles the common, isolated problem.
That is simplified, of course, but it makes sense to us, to anyone that has Western common sense.
But that's not who's been running point on the Middle East for decades.
Why Libertarians Should Vote Trump 00:07:06
It has been entrenched lifelong diplomats out of Washington, D.C. that have gone to Princeton and Harvard, who cut their teeth in think tanks that never actually did anything meaningful in their life.
Joe Biden will give our foreign policy portfolio back to those people.
Joe Biden has been very silent on the progress of peace in the Middle East.
Whereas under Bill Clinton, under H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, we had nothing but endless war, conflict, invasion, bomb dropping, and chaos in the Middle East.
This development today and unequivocally makes President Donald Trump the candidate of peace.
And it paints Joe Biden as the candidate of chaos, suffering, and more endless war.
Are you sick and tired of overpaying for basic services, home, internet, cable, utilities?
Then, of course, there's your cell phone bill.
Who's your wireless provider?
ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile?
What if I told you that PeerTalk USA uses the exact same network as one of those carriers?
Same towers, same exact coverage, but literally costs you half.
I know it sounds crazy.
When I first heard about PeerTalk, I thought, this is too good to be true.
It was so easy.
I kept my phone, and they just sent me the SIM card, and now I'm getting the same great service I had before, but for half the price.
And listen to this: unlimited text and two gigs of data for just $20 a month.
The average person is saving $400 a year.
So why is it so much cheaper than ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile?
No retail stores, no billion-dollar a year ad campaigns, no value adds to your contract that you end up paying for.
So here's the deal: grab your mobile phone and dial pound 250 and say the keyword Charlie Kirk, and you'll save $250 off any iPhone, including the new iPhone SE that's pound 250, and say keyword Charlie Kirk, PeerTalk USA, simply smarter, wireless.
If you're listening to this podcast and you're on the fence about who to vote for, first of all, thank you for listening.
I mean that.
I want all sorts of people to listen to this podcast, and I never attack anyone personally based on their viewpoint.
I will attack the morals of a viewpoint.
We've been through that quite a lot.
But thank you for listening if you're undecided or if you're a liberal.
If you're undecided and peace matters to you, then this should be a deciding factor for you.
If you're a Bernie Sanders supporter or if you have a Bernie Sanders supporter in your life, please send them this podcast.
Because Joe Biden is not anything near what the Bernie Sanders supporters say that they want on the foreign policy landscape.
I know I said earlier that Bernie Sanders was much more pacifist than all this.
I think that is exactly right.
But I think what Bernie Sanders supporters want versus what Bernie Sanders would do is less conflict.
I think that's admirable.
I do.
I think a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters are wrong in economics and socialism and taxation, role of government.
But I think it's admirable to want less conflict.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
So President Trump is bringing that dream into reality.
There's less war because of President Trump.
Blessed are the peacemakers, right?
So if you're a Christian listening to this, that should resonate with you as well.
That President Trump is bringing forth Arab actors that otherwise would not be agreeing on anything, and they'd all be agreeing on the demolition of the state of Israel.
They now have nonstop flights and economic relaxation.
In the United Arab Emirates, they are now offering kosher meals, which just so you understand theologically in the Quran, Jews are thought of very lowly.
This is the westernization of a region that has been stuck in a backwards governmental philosophy for quite some time that has been incredibly oppressive to women, ethnic minorities, freedom of speech.
And it's Iran, by the way, who just executed a UFC fighter, a wrestler, a couple days ago.
So for any Westerner that defends Iran, look a little more closely at their human rights record.
And if you're a libertarian listening to this, which we do have a lot of libertarians listening to this, thank you for listening, and you're considering voting for third party or staying at home, take a step back.
Think more carefully about this.
If ending foreign conflict and massive military spending is an important facet of libertarianism, which I know it is.
I know a lot of libertarians, really good people, then Donald Trump is your man.
He has done more to advance a libertarian-minded foreign policy guided by the likes of Senator Rand Paul than any other president in my lifetime and in the last hundred years.
Every libertarian who values liberty is only empowering a neocon tyrant named Joe Biden if you vote for third party stay at home or vote for Joe Biden.
And I know libertarians, they don't want that.
And if you're also a libertarian, you probably love firearms and Donald Trump has protected your right to own a firearm.
So I think on just those issues alone, he's your guy.
Joe Biden's in a very difficult position when it comes to the foreign policy discussion.
Very difficult.
Because he knows that he's on the wrong side of history.
He knows that Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan were all worse after he left office than before.
He knows that.
He knows the Middle East was bedlam.
Iran was richer, closer to thermonuclear weapons, closer to destroying Israel, closer to being able to dominate the region.
Now Joe Biden's looking at the region.
He says, what happened to all those messes I made?
They're gone.
President Donald Trump is cleaning up the messes that Joe Biden and his team of career anti-American bureaucrats and diplomats started all around the planet.
President Trump is the candidate of peace.
And one of the most important, if not the most important thing that we trust a commander-in-chief to do is foreign policy decisions.
This is one of the major reasons as to why the media is blacking out Donald Trump right now.
They don't want to cover this issue because President Trump is so good on this issue.
Because President Trump is actually bringing forth peace in the Middle East.
They know that it makes President Trump look good, that peace is popular, that ending war is popular, that bringing troops home is popular, that de-escalating conflict is popular, that bringing opposing parties together is popular, that in turbulent, chaotic times, the person who can cut through the BS and say, let's all get to a table and we can agree on one thing.
We don't want more missiles and conflict, that that is popular.
And that's why you are seeing the media ignore this from happening.
Science vs Political Narratives 00:08:53
That's where you come in.
Send this podcast to as many friends as you can.
Because your friends might hate Donald Trump's style.
They might hate what he's done on immigration, all this stuff.
We can talk about that later.
Who can be against this?
Because the Middle East, when Donald Trump came into office, was bedlam.
It's chaos.
It was a power struggle.
Now we have the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel working in harmony together.
That is success.
That is leadership.
And that is worthy of four more years.

Joe Rogan moderating a debate between President Trump and Joe Biden.
I like that idea.
I'm a big Joe Rogan fan.
I enjoyed listening to him in long format.
Don't agree with him on everything.
He actually contradicts himself sometimes.
He's very smart, works very hard.
And I actually think he asks really good questions.
I think what's the brilliance of the Joe Rogan podcast is you feel as if you're listening to a private conversation.
So on Twitter, somebody floated out the idea, something that we've been pushing for here on the Charlie Kirk show, both privately and publicly, that Joe Biden and Donald Trump should go on a four-hour debate on the Joe Rogan Show.
Now, look, as I said previously, the distinction between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is very important.
That's why it would be an amazing and an incredible idea for the two of them to appear on the Joe Rogan experience together for a four-hour debate.
Now, why wouldn't Biden do that?
Now, again, we called for this very early and often.
And one of the reasons as to why Joe Biden would not do this is because he can't.
Joe Biden cannot have a conversation for more than four minutes, let alone 40 minutes.
Not to mention four hours.
Rogan is open to it, by the way.
He's the one who proposed it, saying, first of all, I want no one else in the room, just the three of us.
Rogan described how his debate would be handled to his guest, UFC fighter Tim Kennedy.
Quote, and if you have to stream it live so no one can edit it, and I'd want them in for hours.
If they wanted to do that, they both wanted to come in here, Austin, sit down and have a debate.
I would 100% do it.
When Tim Kennedy tweeted about it, Trump responded, I do.
Now, the fact of the matter is this: Joe Biden cannot string together any coherent sentences with or without a teleprompter.
His team of handlers would never let him go live without assistance for that period of time.
And Joe Rogan is not a media type or a Biden shill.
This would be unfiltered, unbiased, and a brutally honest assessment of his campaign, his positions, his fitness for office, for everything.
Now, mind you, it would be the same for President Trump.
Rogan is not necessarily a Trump fan.
He insults Trump at times, doesn't agree with Trump, but I think he's fair.
I think he's open-minded.
I think Joe Rogan likes freedom.
And I have full confidence that Trump could handle it.
I think Trump could win Joe Rogan over.
I mean, look at Donald Trump's schedule the last couple days.
September 8th, he held rallies in North Carolina and Florida.
September 10th, held a rally in Michigan.
September 11th, he spent the day public events honoring the anniversary of 9-11.
September 12th, rally in Nevada.
September 13th, another rally in Nevada and Latinos for Trump coalition event.
September 14th, met with California leaders and then a Latinas for Trump roundtable in Phoenix.
And then September 15th, held a trilateral peace commemoration with Middle Eastern leaders.
He's non-stop.
He's a machine.
Joe Biden can hardly get anything going.
He's holding rallies, which is four people 10 feet across from each other in Wilmington.
Today he traveled down to Florida to hold an event.
No supporters just pressed.
Those are his supporters.
Joe Biden would not be able to survive a Joe Rogan experience.
He wouldn't.
The more that the president provokes Joe Biden into a response that he is not capable of engaging on that terrain, the better.
Because Joe Biden can't.
Joe Biden cannot have a sit-down interview.
If you can't do that, why should you be president?
By the way, Joe Biden's audience is unbelievably big.
It is the most listened to podcast on the planet by far.
The biggest guests, celebrities will watch it.
I think it could be the deciding factor for President Trump.
Now, Joe Biden probably won't do it.
But I still think that if Donald Trump mentions it and continues to mention it, it's a winning issue for the president.
Scientific American just came out.
Scientific American magazine backed Joe Biden, its first presidential endorsement in 175 years.
If you read their piece, it reads like a DNC talking points memo.
They say Trump is anti-science and all this.
Of course, none of it's true.
In the least, not even close.
And we shouldn't be surprised that everything is politicized now.
Sports, food, clothes, movies, the brands you buy, and now, of course, science.
Frankly, science has been politicized for a very long time now, so this was inevitable.
And the left has made everything political.
This is just the latest news item to show the left's maniacal assault and unrelenting attack on our core institutions.
And never forget this.
Wokeism is a virus.
Certain dispositions and ideologies are especially susceptible.
Science has been overtaken by wokeism.
So let's just dive into it.
From USA Today, quote, breaking with almost 200 years of tradition, Scientific American's editor said, quote, the evidence in science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people because he rejects evidence in science.
The editors wrote in a piece published Tuesday and part of the October 2020 issue.
The editor argues that Trump has lacked a, quote, national strategy for the virus.
The editor applauded Biden's pandemic plan, including increasing coronavirus testing, Chinese coronavirus testing nationwide, providing jobs to those laid off to the pandemic created by a force of contact tracers, and giving funding to schools to help support remote learning and safe reopening.
The editorial also cited the recent revelation in the Washington Post by Washington Post veteran Bob Woodward that Trump intentionally downplayed the virus.
We already debunked it.
It is a lie.
It is not true.
Additionally, they said Trump's attack on the Affordable Care Act and important health agencies have made the country less equipped.
Let me be clear.
Trump and the Republicans are pro-science.
That's why we're pro-life.
Democrats are anti-science.
They always have been.
This is Orwellian.
Scientific American says they stand for impartial evidence.
Oh, really?
Then when does life begin?
Can you tell me that?
Is it more than just a clump of cells?
And if so, what species is it?
Scientific American is now just another propaganda tool of the American left.
It doesn't really move the dial at all, but it's worthy of mentioning.
It's just another example of how the left is trying to corrupt every single vertical of influence in our society.
Thank you guys so much for listening today.
Trump has brought forth Middle East peace in defiance of all the experts.
Trump should go on Joe Rogan.
