CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): Everyone says, "Well, we just need immigrants to come legally. We just need immigrants to come legally." That's not true. Omar Fateh came here legally. Ilhan Omar came here legally. Rashida Tlaib, her parents came here legally. Zohran Mamdani came here legally.
Here's another piece of tape. Now, this, you might think -- I want you to guess, actually. I'm going to play this piece of tape. Where is this? Is it Mogadishu? Is it Brussels? Is it Berlin? Is it Minneapolis? Let's play guess the state. Guess the state here live on the Charlie Kirk Show. And I'm not allowed to say that this guy's not an American. I'm sorry. He's not an American.

That is in, anybody? O-H-I-O. How's that, Danny? Your state's doing great. That is an Ohio victory party for [Ismail] Mohamed. Now when we think of what it means to be an American, is someone by the name of [Ismail] Mohamed? Yeah. I don't think so.

But there's still something about the allegiance -- you need to have the signal markers. You need to have the proof that you are all in. None of this, like, multiple passport stuff. None of this dual citizenship stuff. By the way, how many members of Congress are dual citizens? That's a good question. That's an important question.
And step one is speaking English. If you don't understand the language, you cannot understand our values. Step one, make English the official language of the United States. President Trump deserves credit for this. The defining issue of the year of our lord 2025 going into 2026, 2027 on the American right is one that we are totally unprepared for, which is "What is an American?" And most people look at me and they say, "Well, an American is just someone that has a US passport." Zohran Mamdani has a US passport. Omar Fateh has a US passport. Ilhan Omar is a member of Congress. Do you consider that to be a fellow American?
If America is just a passport, then America is dead. We are nothing more than a colony, nothing more than just paperwork. It's reverence for the Constitution. It's all in for not just the ideas, but the story. You need to come with humility that you are part of this project. If America is just a passport, then we are just a colony for Earth, a pile of wealth to loot. And that's how Somalis treat it.
In the era of mass transportation and cheap airfare, this was inevitable that mass migration would become the story of the twenty-first century, including the Feeding Our Future scam and all this stuff. And I don't say this with any hate for the individuals. I'm just asking a very simple question. If you're not an American, that's fine. Go back to your place of origin. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to harm you. I'm not going to imprison you. Just go back. Hasta la vista. But we have a culture to protect. We have a country to love. No man can serve two masters. Christ our Lord said that. We have a heritage to preserve.

No dual passports, no dual loyalty, no dual citizenship. I don't care what the country is. Your thumos must be all in. You must be dedicated to the United States of America. And if we're nothing more than paperwork, then we are just organizing -- let's just say organizing deck chairs on the Titanic. I love this country, and I hate to see what mass migration is doing to it. It's not a racial thing. Think it's a thumos thing. And as America goes, the entire civilization goes.
