Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end
Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to
Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married
Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point you would say college chapter.
Speaker 1: Go start atturning point youould say high school chapter. Go
Speaker 1: find out how your church can get involved.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show's April tenth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six here at the y Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Blake, welcome, Howdy,
Speaker 2: it's investyrefi dot Com.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: We are transitioning over y Refi Studios, great partners of
Speaker 2: the show. Lots of news to get to. Yesterday ended
Speaker 2: up being a fairly eventful day.
Speaker 3: That it did, both with real events and the even
Speaker 3: more entertaining type fake events that happen in the media.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, well said, all right, So we are titling
Speaker 2: this first segment of the show the Tale of Two Truths,
Speaker 2: because President Trump really he unfurled on a truth against
Speaker 2: some Warmer supporters, including Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megan Kelly,
Speaker 2: and Candice Owns in one giant truth social post. And
Speaker 2: we're going to compare and contrast the messaging of that
Speaker 2: with another truth in just a second.
Speaker 3: But Blake, your take, Okay, well we should if you
Speaker 3: haven't seen it, we can't read the whole thing. It's
Speaker 3: pretty long, even for a Trump truth. But he does
Speaker 3: say he dropped this yesterday afternoon, somewhat out of the blue.
Speaker 3: At the start, it says, I know why Tucker Carlson,
Speaker 3: Megan Kelly, Candice Owens, and Alex Jones have all been
Speaker 3: fighting me four years, especially by the fact they think
Speaker 3: it is wonderful for I ran the number one state
Speaker 3: sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon. They all
Speaker 3: have one thing in common, low IQ's they are stupid people.
Speaker 3: They know it, their families know it. Everyone else knows
Speaker 3: it too. He goes on to call them nut jobs
Speaker 3: and troublemakers. He says they are through each one. Yes,
Speaker 3: he goes through each He says they are the opposite
Speaker 3: of Mega. He says, he attacks Tucker, says he didn't
Speaker 3: finish college. He says, he goes after Megan Kelly for
Speaker 3: asking him the nasty now famous only Rosie O'Donnell question.
Speaker 3: He says that the first, the respected, the highly respected
Speaker 3: first Lady of France, who is not a man, is
Speaker 3: more attractive than Candice Owens. He goes after Alex Jones
Speaker 3: for losing that lawsuit over the sany h. Reilly just
Speaker 3: blasts all of them and very scorched earth, very scorchual.
Speaker 3: Although you know it's funny.
Speaker 2: I heard a couple of people responded to this like,
Speaker 2: I was pretty tepid for Trump. He could have gone harder,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, I don't think that's true. Pretty this is
Speaker 3: this is it was very scorchure. The reason, of course
Speaker 3: he did that is they have all been vocally, very
Speaker 3: vocally critical of the Iran intervention, and in particular, they
Speaker 3: were all extremely critical of his rhetoric just in the
Speaker 3: past few days.
Speaker 2: Specifically, everything got ratcheted up to a next level after
Speaker 2: the end of Civilization.
Speaker 3: Truth precisely, precisely, I recall Alex Jones. He said something
Speaker 3: like war crime alert over that and said, this is
Speaker 3: not what we've voted for. Megan Kelly said it was
Speaker 3: irresponsible and disgusting. She says, I am sick of this bleep.
Speaker 3: Why can't he just behave like a normal human President
Speaker 3: Trump floated that the president's staff should sort of defy
Speaker 3: his orders. Sorry, sorry, said Trump. Tucker said that that
Speaker 3: his staff should defy the order. And there was there
Speaker 3: was that twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2: Discussion of the twenty fifth Amendment, and yes, and.
Speaker 3: Of course Kennic has suggested he was involved in murdering Charlotte.
Speaker 2: Which is obscene. So my take on this is basically
Speaker 2: a couple of things. One, there are actually really important
Speaker 2: matters happening in the in the world, in the country.
Speaker 2: This is a bit of a distraction. However, what did
Speaker 2: you think was going to happen?
Speaker 3: You know, so's the man who responds very force you
Speaker 3: your response when this happened was pretty interesting. He said,
Speaker 3: I'm surprised it took this long.
Speaker 2: Standdly.
Speaker 3: Yeah. They they have been vocally critical of the conflict
Speaker 3: since it started, and the president does a guy who
Speaker 3: responds pretty rapidly when he feels people have turned on
Speaker 3: him out of his coalition. We've seen what he's done
Speaker 3: with Congress and Massey, We've seen what he did with
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor greench He bashes in there. It was a
Speaker 3: quick and that's interesting because that gets at we remember
Speaker 3: when Elon Musk first broke away. He comes out and
Speaker 3: says President Trump is in the Epstein files, basically says
Speaker 3: he's involved, suggests he's involved in sex trafficking. Very critical,
Speaker 3: and we remember Charlie said, I think they could possibly
Speaker 3: reunite over this, and you know, paper this.
Speaker 2: Over well and listen, emotions are high correct, and I
Speaker 2: would say that the Elon Musk example is an example
Speaker 2: of what President Trump is capable of doing right, which is,
Speaker 2: if you look back him and Megan, we're not friends.
Speaker 2: They came back together in twenty twenty four. Meghan Kelly
Speaker 2: has said that she will vote Republican over a Democrat
Speaker 2: no matter what. It doesn't matter how upset she is.
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson had text released in the dominion lawsuit which
Speaker 2: revealed that he did not like President Trump at a
Speaker 2: certain point. Then he campaigned in twenty twenty four on
Speaker 2: his bealf. So we don't know where this is going
Speaker 2: to happen. Alex Jones, I'm a little less clear. Alex
Speaker 2: has been supportive of the president over the years and
Speaker 2: has turned on him. Alex's response to this, by the way,
Speaker 2: was that thank you for making it clear that I
Speaker 2: want nothing to do with you and I don't support
Speaker 2: you anymore. Basically, I would put Candice in a completely
Speaker 2: different category of all of this. Actually, but the end
Speaker 2: result is it's a bit of a distraction. But what
Speaker 2: did you think was going to happen? And let's just
Speaker 2: make one thing clear. If you're going to call for
Speaker 2: the twenty fifth Amendment of the sitting president of the
Speaker 2: United States, you're calling for a palace coup. That's what
Speaker 2: you're calling for. Because the twenty fifth Amendment was written
Speaker 2: in past bipartisan fashion in nineteen sixty seven. Why because
Speaker 2: you had the Woodrow Wilson basically where he was debilitated
Speaker 2: and his wife and his physician kept that from the country. Okay,
Speaker 2: was nineteen nineteen, I believe. Then you had a heart
Speaker 2: attack and a stroke by Eisenhower. Little known fact of history,
Speaker 2: but in both of those instances, it was unclear what
Speaker 2: was going to happen. If he didn't survive those instances,
Speaker 2: then you had the assassination of JFK. But what would
Speaker 2: have happened had JFK just been a vegetable and survived it? Right,
Speaker 2: He obviously died, so LBJ took over, But what would
Speaker 2: have happened if he would have just been incapacitated. So
Speaker 2: they needed a mechanism constitutionally to if the president is
Speaker 2: unable to dispatch the duties and responsibilities as the president.
Speaker 2: That's what the twenty fifth Amendment is. It's not when
Speaker 2: you don't like his policies. It's not when you like,
Speaker 2: when you don't like the war in Iran. It's about
Speaker 2: if he is mentally unfit and unable to do the job,
Speaker 2: meaning you had a stroke or something.
Speaker 3: Well, that, of course is what some people are claiming
Speaker 3: he is.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: He's obviously lucid and he's the same Trump we've always
Speaker 3: so we'd love to see what all of you make
Speaker 3: of this, So send us emails if you're we'll read
Speaker 3: it next second. Yes, we'll take a look at them.
Speaker 3: I think what this is a good reminder of is
Speaker 3: it is how the president approaches politics, which he is.
Speaker 3: He he can handle criticism on policy grounds, but there's
Speaker 3: a certain thing where President Trump is a guy who
Speaker 3: thinks through the language of dominance. He always wants it
Speaker 3: to be clear that he is in charge of the party,
Speaker 3: he is in charge of the movement. That you'll notice
Speaker 3: that he says this, I am maga. These people are
Speaker 3: not maga. He very much, frankly wants to emphasize that
Speaker 3: maga is centered around him personally, and that's important to
Speaker 3: the president to express. And I think it's the efforts
Speaker 3: to define what maga is in a way that would say, oh,
Speaker 3: Trump is not doing a mega thing. I think that
Speaker 3: is ultimately what sets him off the most, along with
Speaker 3: just the efforts to undercut him to be fair the
Speaker 3: twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. He was asked about Tucker I think
Speaker 2: a week or two ago, and Tucker was already being
Speaker 2: critical of him, and he kind of brushed it off
Speaker 2: and he said, well, it's okay, you know, and I
Speaker 2: think you know to your point. I'm surprised it took
Speaker 2: so long in some of these instances. We have a
Speaker 2: tale of two truths, though, so just to put a
Speaker 2: fine point on it, he offered this other truth about
Speaker 2: the Haitian migrant that we covered on the show yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I think that's an example of some of his
Speaker 2: best messaging domestically in recent memory. And of course, the
Speaker 2: Haitian migrant was not supposed to be in this country,
Speaker 2: was let in by Joe Biden, was given temporary protected status,
Speaker 2: and then bludgeoned a store clerk to death with a hammer.
Speaker 2: And President Trump put off on that the tale of
Speaker 2: two truths. One I think is distracting again, I understand
Speaker 2: why he did it. The other is focused right here
Speaker 2: at home, and it was a powerful truth. We have
Speaker 2: so much to get to, so I'm going to get
Speaker 2: right into it. So I want to give a little
Speaker 2: bit more airtime to this Haitian truth social and because
Speaker 2: I again I think President Trump at his best is
Speaker 2: railing against the abuse and the pillaging and the Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is the abuses of this country of ours. And
Speaker 2: so he says, an illegal alien criminal from Haiti who
Speaker 2: was released into our country by the worst president in history,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. The radical Democrats in Congress just beate an
Speaker 2: innocent woman to death with a hammer at a gas
Speaker 2: station in Florida. The video of her brutal slang is
Speaker 2: one of the most vicious things you will ever see,
Speaker 2: and unfortunately there it is again. We have it censored sufficiently.
Speaker 2: This animal was allowed to stay here because the Biden
Speaker 2: administration granted him in all Haitian's temporary protective status, a
Speaker 2: massively abused and fraudulent program which my administration is working
Speaker 2: to eliminate. But deranged liberal district court judges are standing
Speaker 2: in our way. This one killing should be enough for
Speaker 2: these radical judges to stop impeding my administration's immigration policies.
Speaker 2: Allows to end this scam once and for all. To
Speaker 2: my fellow Republicans and frankly all common sense Americans never
Speaker 2: forget that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party turned the
Speaker 2: United States of America into a dumping ground. And to that,
Speaker 2: I say, yes, today, Amen, this is Trump, this is this.
Speaker 3: Is where you want him to be. I'll be honest,
Speaker 3: I understand why he picked that fight he did yesterday
Speaker 3: with all the podcast, but I wish if every aggressive
Speaker 3: truth was about something like this, totally grab a worst
Speaker 3: of the worst scenario of what the left has done
Speaker 3: to this country, what they're still trying to do to
Speaker 3: this country, and it was It's so great. I remember
Speaker 3: it happening so much in the first term, for example,
Speaker 3: when he had the you know the craphole countries yeap
Speaker 3: quote that leaked and it was the biggest story of
Speaker 3: the day because it was so offensive that he was saying, Oh,
Speaker 3: we shouldn't have immigrants from crappy countries, and yet he
Speaker 3: basically won that cycle because ordinary Americans don't think we
Speaker 3: should have infinite people come here from crappy.
Speaker 2: Totally the dumping ground line in that tweet, I wanted
Speaker 2: to like it viscerally connected.
Speaker 3: Or it was during his time in the wilderness where
Speaker 3: he said bad immigrants are poisoning the blood of America.
Speaker 3: And then they did a poll and it turned out
Speaker 3: a majority of Americans do think immigrants poison the botry.
Speaker 2: CNN was very upset about that. I remember that. But
Speaker 2: that's where you want him. You want CNN upset at him,
Speaker 2: and you want the base rallying behind always. This is
Speaker 2: my whole point with mass deportations. Right, you hear the
Speaker 2: line mass deportation, it's only about fifty to fifty issue,
Speaker 2: about fifty percent support, whereas worse the worst about seventy
Speaker 2: five percent of American support. You can't compare those two
Speaker 2: buckets the same. The fifty percent that support mass deportation
Speaker 2: is your base. It's your most adamant and ardent supporters.
Speaker 2: They will come out in a midterm. Okay, that's who
Speaker 2: we need to rile up the base. These kind of
Speaker 2: tweet our truths do that. They affect the base at
Speaker 2: a visceral level. It gets us fired up, and we
Speaker 2: remember the carnage of the Biden years, and we want
Speaker 2: to get out and make sure Republicans get elected to
Speaker 2: support that kind of policy.
Speaker 3: And we talk about where it's worth taking risks on
Speaker 3: things and sometimes you have people very agitated on Twitter
Speaker 3: saying a judge rules against President Trump, he should defy
Speaker 3: this judge. I think in ninety nine percent of cases
Speaker 3: that's not worth doing because it's provoking a crisis when
Speaker 3: you have a friendly Supreme Court. But as an example,
Speaker 3: this immigrant who just murdered this woman in Florida was
Speaker 3: a beneficiary of temporary protected status. We have been trying
Speaker 3: to repeal temporary protected status on all these groups, and
Speaker 3: you repeatedly are having these district court judges, including in
Speaker 3: some cases, I think there's a Florida liberal judge who's
Speaker 3: been reversed by the Supreme Court over and over again
Speaker 3: on questions like this. And if you wanted to test
Speaker 3: the waters where it's worth taking a constitutional risk, it
Speaker 3: would be if we have a judge who's been reversed
Speaker 3: on the same thing by the Supreme Court two three,
Speaker 3: four times, we're going to not let them block us
Speaker 3: from deporting some of these people. Ye, that might be
Speaker 3: a risk that's worth.
Speaker 2: Taking in And I think that's kind of where we're
Speaker 2: all at at the base. It's like, if we're going
Speaker 2: to spend political capital and spend political will messaging, will
Speaker 2: let's get it done on immigration deportations. I think it's
Speaker 2: the most important issue still, all right, So we want
Speaker 2: to quickly pivot. Want to get to Malani. She's surprised
Speaker 2: to everybody at the White House Press Corp yesterday by
Speaker 2: taking the podium and addressing Epstein. And we want to
Speaker 2: get into it because one part of it is truly
Speaker 2: I think important SOT one.
Speaker 4: Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was
Speaker 4: not alone. Several prominent mile executives resigned from their powerful
Speaker 4: positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course, this
Speaker 4: doesn't amount to guild, but we still must work openly
Speaker 4: and transparently to uncover the truth. I call on Congress
Speaker 4: to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein
Speaker 4: with the public hearing, specifically centered around the survivors. Each
Speaker 4: and every woman should have her day to tell her
Speaker 4: story in public if she wishes, then and only then
Speaker 4: we will.
Speaker 5: Have the truth.
Speaker 2: All right. So I think this is brilliant, and I'll
Speaker 2: explain why, because she's taking offense. Right. The administration has
Speaker 2: been playing too much defense on this issue. The truth
Speaker 2: still remains that Joe Biden, the Democrats didn't release any
Speaker 2: of this that Trump administration has. She starts this whole
Speaker 2: speech by saying, anything on the internet that you see
Speaker 2: that ties me to Epstein is garbage. I've already got
Speaker 2: a bunch of apologies. We're gonna keep policing these statements.
Speaker 2: Then she says I want them to get justice, have
Speaker 2: them testify before Congress. Well, then this puts the Democrats
Speaker 2: in defense, because all they want, and I think this
Speaker 2: is very clear, is they don't want justice for the victims.
Speaker 2: They want to get Trump. They want to weaponize Epstein
Speaker 2: to get Trump. This makes them either say yeah, good
Speaker 2: for Milania, Well good good, yeah, here we agree, in
Speaker 2: which case that doesn't have nearly as much potency from
Speaker 2: a political standpoint, or they fight back and sort of
Speaker 2: show their cards that this has been a ruse the
Speaker 2: whole time just to get Trump. Now what's interesting here
Speaker 2: is the react by the quote unquote survivors. They have
Speaker 2: come out and said, well, we've already done enough, we
Speaker 2: shouldn't have to do more.
Speaker 3: Yes, they said, there's about fifteen of them and they
Speaker 3: signed a statement. They've already survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have
Speaker 3: already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports and
Speaker 3: giving testimony, asking more of them now is a deflection
Speaker 3: of responsibility, well not justice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So this is a very interesting dynamic that's emerging.
Speaker 2: And I do think this has the opportunity with Pambondi
Speaker 2: leaving to reset the deck at the DOJ, maybe there's
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be take the offensive foot which could
Speaker 2: help in a lot of ways. So let's go ahead,
Speaker 2: And this is on apolinea Luna, Congressman on a Polina
Speaker 2: Luna talking about the co conspirators, which is an interesting
Speaker 2: clip cut five.
Speaker 6: That Jeffrey Epstein was running a intelligence gathering operation. In
Speaker 6: my professional opinion, I do believe it was a honeypot operation,
Speaker 6: and I do believe that there's a list of individuals
Speaker 6: who did engage in trafficking. We're given these plea deals,
Speaker 6: and I'm going to name those individuals right now. The
Speaker 6: first one would be Leslie Groff, the second one Garah Kellen,
Speaker 6: the third one Nadia Markova, and the fourth one Adrianna Ross.
Speaker 6: All of these women engaged trafficking, engaged in the trafficking
Speaker 6: of minors as adults. They were working and complicit with
Speaker 6: Jeffrey Epstein's operation, and in my opinion, they are not
Speaker 6: to be given victim status because they did partake in
Speaker 6: harming young girls.
Speaker 2: So those are people that have been given plea deals
Speaker 2: as if they were victims, but they were, in Anno
Speaker 2: Polina Luna's perspective, co conspirators because they helped traffic the
Speaker 2: young women to Jeffrey Epstein. Another name that's come up
Speaker 2: a lot is Hailey Robson, who sort of now notoriously
Speaker 2: spoke with Rocanna after the State of the Union. She's
Speaker 2: another one that's been named as potentially trafficking young women
Speaker 2: as well. So this is a developing situation and we
Speaker 2: are going to keep our eyes on it because there's
Speaker 2: a lot of moving pieces here and the deck just
Speaker 2: got reset. America is entering its two hundred and fiftieth year.
Speaker 2: In the direction of this country is being decided right
Speaker 2: now in our culture and our economy, and who we
Speaker 2: choose to support matters more than ever. Most wireless companies
Speaker 2: don't care who you are or what you believe. They
Speaker 2: just want your money. Patriot Mobile is different. For more
Speaker 2: than twelve years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom
Speaker 2: is worth fighting for funding the Christian Conservative movement when
Speaker 2: others stayed silent. And here's the deal. You don't have
Speaker 2: to give up quality or service when you switch to
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all three
Speaker 2: major US networks, so you'll get the same or better
Speaker 2: coverage than you have today. Think switching is a hassle,
Speaker 2: it isn't keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.
Speaker 2: Their one hundred percent US based support team can activate
Speaker 2: you in just minutes, still paying off a device. Patriot
Speaker 2: Mobile even offers a contract buyout. This is a defining year.
Speaker 2: We gotta work together to save our country. So go
Speaker 2: to Patriotmobile dot com slash Charlie or call nine seven
Speaker 2: to two Patriot and use the promo code Charlie for
Speaker 2: a free month of service. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash Charlie.
Speaker 2: Or call them at nine seven to two Patriot using
Speaker 2: the promo code Charlie and switch today. All right, we
Speaker 2: want to pivot here to what's going on at UVU. Obviously,
Speaker 2: that is the campus where Charlie was assassinated on September tenth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. And we have the chapter president Caleb
Speaker 2: Chillcut who is like I said, the TPUSA UVU chapter
Speaker 2: president with us now, Caleb, welcome back to the show.
Speaker 7: Thank you so much. I'm so glad to be here.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and you got a haircut, Caleb. You look at
Speaker 2: you looking at change. Last time it was, you know,
Speaker 2: it was a longer. Anyways, good to see you. So
Speaker 2: there's controversy brewing at UVU, and I hate to be
Speaker 2: the bearer of bad news, but essentially there has been
Speaker 2: a commencement speaker that has been chosen and her her
Speaker 2: name is Sharon McMahon and she's been selected as a
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six commencement speaker. Fill our audience in, Caleb,
Speaker 2: why this is causing a stir? And you've even issued
Speaker 2: a statement on half of the chapter there at tp
Speaker 2: at UVU. Tell us what's going on?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, two days or even a couple of days after
Speaker 7: Charlie was assassinated, Sharon made a post on her Instagram,
Speaker 7: Sharon says so with a series of ount of context
Speaker 7: quotes basically tarnishing Charlie's name, and then when she started
Speaker 7: to get a little bit of slack on that, she
Speaker 7: then deleted the post and then four days later made
Speaker 7: a very just underwhelming statement, kind of disavowing political violence
Speaker 7: by saying that political violence once I was hopeless refusing
Speaker 7: to give us, to give her that kind of power
Speaker 7: is its own kind of defiance. And that's all she said,
Speaker 7: mentioning political violence Charlie's assassination. And it's just kind of,
Speaker 7: like I said in my statement, just disheartening that you
Speaker 7: view would not even I guess, do their research and
Speaker 7: bring this case. Maybe they did, Yeah, and they're just
Speaker 7: laughing at up. To bring her on as a commencement
Speaker 7: speaker is kind of just disgusting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a slap face, it really is.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Blake, I just wanted to read some of them.
Speaker 3: There was a whole sequence of posts that she made.
Speaker 3: I don't want to care. Yeah, it was just a
Speaker 3: whole sequence of them, but I want to get some
Speaker 3: of them. Like, if you were a Charlie Kirk fan,
Speaker 3: you might not realize why there is so much backlash
Speaker 3: to posts eulogizing his death.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 3: And she says to many Americans, especially if you are black, LGBTQ,
Speaker 3: or Muslim, Charlie Kirk was not a person who engaged
Speaker 3: in good faith debates on college campuses, and she has
Speaker 3: quotes from him that she says are bad. The controversy
Speaker 3: is not about having a difference of opinion or preaching
Speaker 3: the gospel. It is about repeating bigoted ideas on a
Speaker 3: stage that reached tens of millions. It is important to
Speaker 3: remember that the incredible tragedy of a public assassination does
Speaker 3: not erase the harm many experienced from his words and
Speaker 3: the ensuing actions his followers took. I have no idea
Speaker 3: what she's referring to there, but she suggests some sort.
Speaker 2: Of hosting, hosting free speech events where people got to
Speaker 2: the front of the line, and.
Speaker 3: She says these are just a handful of examples after
Speaker 3: she had quotes from them, and to many, when they
Speaker 3: see people treating Charlie Kirk like a martyr, it seems
Speaker 3: like they are also endorsing these ideas. So this is
Speaker 3: the woman who's going to be the.
Speaker 2: Speaker at UVU, at the very campus where an assassin
Speaker 2: took his life. And that's what I kind of want
Speaker 2: to get into this what you said there, Caleb. You
Speaker 2: said they didn't do their research, and I would probably
Speaker 2: presume to believe they did do their research, and they
Speaker 2: don't want to be associated with this horrific event in
Speaker 2: a way or something right, they it's almost like an
Speaker 2: effort to distance themselves from some I guess some perceived
Speaker 2: alignment with Tourny point in somehow. I'm not exactly sure
Speaker 2: what the psychology would be behind it, but I find
Speaker 2: it pretty gross. You've made this statement. I want to
Speaker 2: kind of give you your statement it's due here because
Speaker 2: I think the final sex section is really well said,
Speaker 2: because you say universities should welcome diverse viewpoints. Platforming someone
Speaker 2: who treated a historic and tragic political assassination not as
Speaker 2: a moment to grieve, but as an opportunity to create
Speaker 2: content is tone deaf and disrespectful to those affected, especially
Speaker 2: on this campus. There are countless better alternatives Amen, and
Speaker 2: the fact that the university is choosing McMahon is entirely
Speaker 2: disappointing to all of us still reeling from his loss.
Speaker 2: I couldn't be more disappointed in the university for such
Speaker 2: a hurtful and callous decision. Now. I saw you post
Speaker 2: this on social and some of the comments below I
Speaker 2: actually chimed in because it was so irritating. Some of
Speaker 2: the comments below said, whatever happened to free speech? And
Speaker 2: my reaction is, well, what about our right to free
Speaker 2: speech to be upset at this decision? Do you not
Speaker 2: understand that free speech how it works. It's a two
Speaker 2: way street, folks that Yeah, the university, sure, maybe they
Speaker 2: have the right to make a dumb decision, but you
Speaker 2: and your chapter members us here, Charlie Kirkshaw, we have
Speaker 2: our free speech to criticize how stupid that decision.
Speaker 7: Is exactly, And I mean like, we're not trying to
Speaker 7: do cancel culture. That's not what we want. We're just
Speaker 7: highlighting just the poor, slap in the face decision that
Speaker 7: view was making on just is a slap in the
Speaker 7: face to us and the millions of other Americans who
Speaker 7: liked Charlie and want to continue his voice. Like I
Speaker 7: said in my statement, there are millions of other possible
Speaker 7: speakers who they could bring. But the same school year
Speaker 7: that Charlie was assassinated on my campus, they bring someone who,
Speaker 7: days after he was killed, just tries to profit off misinformation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really sick. And by the way, we did
Speaker 2: a whole episode debunking basically every single one of those clips.
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen this Instagram post at the time, but
Speaker 2: it basically lines up one to one because everybody that
Speaker 2: wanted to come out after the assassination to take cherry
Speaker 2: pick clips of his or quotes of his and use
Speaker 2: it to tarnish his legacy use the same ones. And
Speaker 2: there is a logical explanation for each one of those
Speaker 2: comments that he made. They're mostly complete garbage, right yet,
Speaker 2: you know, it's like the black Pilot clip. There was
Speaker 2: some comments about Islam that I currently very much still
Speaker 2: agree with. I mean it, but it was It's just
Speaker 2: it's just fascinating to me that they would do this,
Speaker 2: and like I said, it seems like an intentional attempt
Speaker 2: to disrespect Charlie. And today is the seventh month anniversary
Speaker 2: of his assassination. We're not even a year out. We're
Speaker 2: not eight months out, We're seven months. We just got
Speaker 2: to seven months. They made this announcement when we were
Speaker 2: about six months out. So I'm with you, and I'm
Speaker 2: grateful to you for speaking up.
Speaker 3: Kayleb.
Speaker 2: What is the chatter on campus? What are you hearing
Speaker 2: students say or is it? Is it a big topic
Speaker 2: of conversation right now?
Speaker 7: Explain it's definitely a mixed presence on campus. The people
Speaker 7: who were there the six and a half thousand people
Speaker 7: that were there during Charlie's debate, and the conservatives on
Speaker 7: campus are definitely upset. But of course you get the
Speaker 7: other side of people who are celebrating the decision that
Speaker 7: View has made to kind of rub it in Tony
Speaker 7: Point's face, I feel like, and so there's a bit
Speaker 7: of that conversation going on. But another thing that's disgusting
Speaker 7: is View has not addressed it. They haven't made a statement,
Speaker 7: they haven't acknowledged any sort of this talk that's going
Speaker 7: on right now.
Speaker 2: Blake, you're the academic. I guess it's not surprising. It's disappointing,
Speaker 2: but it's not surprising.
Speaker 3: I guess, just bigger picture, obviously, I don't want to
Speaker 3: dwell on the negative stuff. So we've had a lot
Speaker 3: of different chapter leaders on but obviously your chapter at
Speaker 3: that university has a special place in our heart because
Speaker 3: of what you've endured. So just more broadly, what's the
Speaker 3: what's the spiritual environment like on campus, what's the feeling
Speaker 3: within the chapter about Charlie's legacy?
Speaker 7: H our chapter, they keep it morals pretty high. Lace
Speaker 7: and mus on the show, I talked about the memorial
Speaker 7: and it is going through and our chapter with the
Speaker 7: one to design it and place it on campus. So
Speaker 7: we're kind of just focusing on that excitement right now
Speaker 7: to secure Charlie's legacy on our campus. So yeah, like
Speaker 7: you said, we're just keeping on the positives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well let's you know, and we're just gonna say
Speaker 2: it right now, like we're calling on the university to
Speaker 2: address this controversy very publicly. We want you to publicly
Speaker 2: do it. We want you to acknowledge the fact that
Speaker 2: your decision has been hurtful to our students on that
Speaker 2: chapter that live through a tragedy none of them should
Speaker 2: have had to endure or witness, and that this is
Speaker 2: a slap in the face. And we want you to
Speaker 2: acknowledge this, UVU, because it's disgusting. And you know, I
Speaker 2: just want to underscore we're not we're not we're not
Speaker 2: doing cancel culture. We're using our First Amendment rights here, Caleb,
Speaker 2: to say that you've made a terrible decision, UVU, and
Speaker 2: we think it's intentional. If it wasn't, if you were unaware,
Speaker 2: if you didn't do your research, fine say that or
Speaker 2: maybe cancel this speaker and pick somebody better.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I fully agree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the ball's in your court.
Speaker 2: We can't force you to do anything, but this is
Speaker 2: our point of view, and that's our first Amendment right
Speaker 2: to say so. Caleb, great work, man, You're articulate, you're strong,
Speaker 2: you're morally clear, and you know, you just are such
Speaker 2: a great representative for Turning Point students all across the country.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm sorry this is happening, but you're
Speaker 2: you're doing a great job. Continue on with the memorial
Speaker 2: in Charlie's honor, and we're grateful for you. Man.
Speaker 7: Thank you, boys, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, God speed, my friend. Yeah, just a frustrating
Speaker 2: story all the way around.
Speaker 3: Men Ley, and yeah, we don't want to cancel it,
Speaker 3: but it's just we would have appreciated if you guys
Speaker 3: had if the university had bothered to check what a
Speaker 3: person said about the most famous event to ever happen
Speaker 3: on their campus.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean again, I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 2: I think they did. I think they did know, I
Speaker 2: think they probably did, And they did it anyways, which
Speaker 2: says a lot. All Right, I'm so excited the weather
Speaker 2: is finally warming up, which means grilling season is basically
Speaker 2: here and sorry. If you live in a colder part
Speaker 2: of the country where I'm at, it's grilling season. And
Speaker 2: if you're anything like me, you're already thinking about planning
Speaker 2: your first backyard barbecue of the year. For me, I
Speaker 2: already know what's going on the grill, and that's Good Ranchers.
Speaker 2: Good Ranchers partners with local farmers and ranchers to deliver
Speaker 2: one American meat straight to your door. It's past you're raised,
Speaker 2: no antibiotics, and no added hormones. It's the kind of
Speaker 2: quality that you can actually feel good about serving other
Speaker 2: people around your table. And they just launched custom boxes.
Speaker 2: Now you can build your own box with the cuts
Speaker 2: your family loves, Steaks for grilling, chicken for weeknight dinners,
Speaker 2: or whatever you reach for the most. Start your plan
Speaker 2: today and you'll get free meat included with every order,
Speaker 2: and with our code Charlie, you'll get twenty five dollars
Speaker 2: off your first order. That's free meat with every order
Speaker 2: and twenty five dollars off your first order with code Charlie.
Speaker 2: When you start your plan at good ranchers dot com,
Speaker 2: Good Ranchers dot com, American Meat delivered. I want to
Speaker 2: give a quick update here. So we have been working
Speaker 2: quietly behind the scenes. We gave you a little bit
Speaker 2: of a teaser a few weeks back that we were
Speaker 2: working on getting all of the catalog back catalog of
Speaker 2: the Charlie Kirk Show back up on the RSS feed.
Speaker 2: So on the podcast that is officially done. It's been
Speaker 2: like rolling out a few episodes like at a time
Speaker 2: over the hours. So the entire catalog of The Charlie
Speaker 2: Kirkshow is now back available. Now let me just say
Speaker 2: it was very expensive, so please go check them out,
Speaker 2: take advantage of it, go listen to what Charlie has
Speaker 2: said throughout the years. The historically we only kept up
Speaker 2: one hundred episodes at a time, so as the next
Speaker 2: episode had come the you know, the one hundred and
Speaker 2: one episode, one hundred first episode would fall off the list.
Speaker 2: And so that's just how it's been set up on
Speaker 2: the back end of the system for years since we
Speaker 2: started the show. The first podcast was in May of
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. It's always just been that way. So they're
Speaker 2: back up. You asked, we delivered. You know, there was
Speaker 2: a lot of people that thought we were trying to
Speaker 2: like erase Charlie or they claimed that we were. Of
Speaker 2: course that wasn't true. We've got Charlie everywhere. We celebrate
Speaker 2: Charlie in every way, shape or form. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: on the back of the screen every day. So that
Speaker 2: was obviously a ridiculous claim. But it just took some
Speaker 2: doing and it is done, so go please take advantage
Speaker 2: of that. Listen to all the episodes starting all the
Speaker 2: way back in twenty nineteen if you want, you can
Speaker 2: hear the humble beginnings of Charlie and I sitting in
Speaker 2: a conference room in California with just a microphone and
Speaker 2: a zoom recorder getting our first episode up. And then
Speaker 2: I think the next one was Don Junior was like
Speaker 2: our first guest. So some fun stuff to check out there,
Speaker 2: and then obviously throughout twenty twenty five for in some
Speaker 2: of our most famous episodes of the show. So please
Speaker 2: check it out. We're grateful for your patients, and yeah,
Speaker 2: we hope you take advantage of it. Another thing I
Speaker 2: want to update you guys on is the fact that
Speaker 2: there is some fragile peace negotiations, very fragile. Jd Vance
Speaker 2: has gotten on the plane fragile and then There is,
Speaker 2: of course an update from Iranian parliamentary speaker who's saying
Speaker 2: the speaker of Iran's parliament says a ceasefire in Lebanon
Speaker 2: and release of blocked Iranian assets must occur before negotiations begin. Now, specifically,
Speaker 2: the Lebanon thing now is moving of the goalpost because
Speaker 2: our position, the United States position, is that Lebanon was
Speaker 2: never included in the original ceasefire. That's Hesbelah. It should
Speaker 2: be a completely different organization. Israel is going after Hesbela
Speaker 2: in the south of Lebanon. Iran is basically saying those
Speaker 2: are our guys. Stop doing it or there's no negotiation
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. So very very transparent that hes
Speaker 2: blot is the regime, okay, first of all. The other
Speaker 2: thing though, is this blocked assets right, That is another
Speaker 2: moving of the goalpost, which says to me that is
Speaker 2: that Iran feels that they have leverage in the negotiations.
Speaker 2: I think they could probably tell our domestic vibe is
Speaker 2: that we want to move on and get out of
Speaker 2: this place, and they're playing us on that front.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might either think that they can get extractions
Speaker 3: for the ceasefire or that they it's possible they're banking
Speaker 3: that President Trump won't restart the war even if they
Speaker 3: set tough conditions. Correct, there's a variety of possibilities here.
Speaker 3: As always, we don't know the full story. We never
Speaker 3: know the full story with things this high level. So
Speaker 3: we just say pray for peace. Yeah, pray for peace,
Speaker 3: for peace.
Speaker 2: But it's the I will say that, you know, Iran
Speaker 2: probably is assessing our domestic vibe on the war and
Speaker 2: understands that it would be a political win for President
Speaker 2: Trump to get out of Iran. I don't think that
Speaker 2: President Trump would hesitate to strike again. I don't think
Speaker 2: that at all. I think President Trump, if he feels
Speaker 2: like they're they're slapping him in the face, he would
Speaker 2: he would start striking again. That's my read on it.
Speaker 2: So I would say caution to the Iranians, don't overplay
Speaker 2: your hand. And but I will say that the you know,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the you know, the stock market is
Speaker 2: basically flat right now. But inflation did tick up, and
Speaker 2: that was and that was a new report that came
Speaker 2: out this morning, basically driven by energy prices. So the
Speaker 2: energy shock from prices going around one hundred dollars a
Speaker 2: barrel or higher will be felt for some time, and
Speaker 2: that will be felt in the domestic level, that'll be
Speaker 2: felt internationally. So the straight of Horn moves continues to
Speaker 2: loom extremely large in the economic picture around the world
Speaker 2: and domestically and politically. So we do want this thing
Speaker 2: to wrap up. We want the straight back to open.
Speaker 2: But Iran is going to play the cards that they
Speaker 2: have to play, and this is one of them.
Speaker 3: So it's a reminder of what we said, which is
Speaker 3: it is easier to start a war than to end
Speaker 3: it because ending a war. Starting a war only requires
Speaker 3: one person's approval or one country's approval. Ending it does
Speaker 3: require two.
Speaker 2: And Trump has just gone on records saying that the
Speaker 2: results of the talks that are around will be clear
Speaker 2: in about twenty four hours. We're going to know soon.
Speaker 2: Trump added, we have a reset going on. We're looking
Speaker 2: up the ships with the best ammunition, even at a
Speaker 2: higher level than we used to do a complete decimation.
Speaker 2: So again he's not backing down. And I'm just telling
Speaker 2: you what I My read of the man is that
Speaker 2: if he feels like they're jerking him around, he's going
Speaker 2: to strike again. He's going to reexert the leverage that
Speaker 2: he has in this negotiation to get the best deal.
Speaker 2: And if he thinks that he has to start striking again,
Speaker 2: I don't think he'll hesitate to do it. I don't
Speaker 2: think he wants to. I think he'd love to claim
Speaker 2: victory and get out. But he's also not going to
Speaker 2: be played the full either. So that's my read on
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: We got a lot of we asked for emails at
Speaker 3: the start. What they make of the Trump versus the
Speaker 3: podcaster is true thing, and it's a pretty wide range
Speaker 3: of responses. I want to say, I think mostly supportive
Speaker 3: of the president. That doesn't surprise me, and just different
Speaker 3: levels of response to So. For example, Debbie said, I
Speaker 3: wish the president would rise above the loud mouths. I
Speaker 3: believe they say things to get a Trumpian reaction like
Speaker 3: this one. What gives them or anyone the impression they
Speaker 3: can say anything they want about anyone and not get
Speaker 3: a response. Trump feels the world is against him when
Speaker 3: all he's ever wanted to do is make America great again.
Speaker 3: It boggles the mind. Really. Another one says, though my
Speaker 3: husband and I feel you are running us, are running
Speaker 3: cover for Trump. We are three time Trump voters, and
Speaker 3: we're strong supporters. If he is not losing it, he
Speaker 3: is doing a good imitation of it. He is doing
Speaker 3: all of this while leading us into Democrat control, which
Speaker 3: is unconscionable.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm actually curious about that. Send us emails.
Speaker 2: Do you actually buy any of this? Twenty fifth the
Speaker 2: mend men, Trump's losing it, He's not locid, he's getting
Speaker 2: too old. Whatever the criticism is, do you and the
Speaker 2: audience believe that? Send us an email Freedom at Charliekirk
Speaker 2: dot com. I don't believe it.
Speaker 3: I put my cards in this table, says here's some
Speaker 3: food for thought. I like all of Trump's policies, and
Speaker 3: I am a supporter, but when Trump attacks someone, then
Speaker 3: that person takes it to heart and they escalate with counterattacks.
Speaker 3: I've always said, if he the president would just shut
Speaker 3: up and ignore the radicals, he would be better off.
Speaker 3: The more he personally attacks them, the more they hate
Speaker 3: him back.
Speaker 2: That was Cernovich's take. He was like, he just should
Speaker 2: have said nothing. Who is this? Frank says, twenty fifth
Speaker 2: Amendment talks ridiculous. That being said, I have noticed in
Speaker 2: the past year that he isn't quite as sharp as
Speaker 2: he has been in the past. Interesting take. Imagine being
Speaker 2: a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, not
Speaker 2: knowing where to go or what to do, not even
Speaker 2: knowing exactly what is going on in your body, while
Speaker 2: the whole world tells her it's just a clump of cells.
Speaker 2: You and I we both know the truth. We know
Speaker 2: it is a baby. And once she has an ultrasound
Speaker 2: that you provide and she sees the truth of the
Speaker 2: baby growing inside of her, you help her choose life.
Speaker 2: When you join us in providing ultrasounds with preborn and
Speaker 2: she sees her baby and here's her baby's heartbeat, you
Speaker 2: will double the likelihood that she will choose life. And
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of what you give goes to providing
Speaker 2: ultrasounds one hundred percent preborn Separately fundraises for administrative costs.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and eighty dollars can save ten babies. Twenty
Speaker 2: eight dollars a month can save a baby a month,
Speaker 2: all year long. And a fifteen thousand dollars gift. I
Speaker 2: know there's some of you out there that can afford
Speaker 2: this fifteen thousand dollars gift will provide a complete ultrasound
Speaker 2: machine that will save thousands of babies for years and
Speaker 2: years to come. Call eight three three eight five zero
Speaker 2: two two two nine or click on the preborn banner

Speaker 2: eight five zero two two two nine, or click on
Speaker 2: the preborn banner at Charliekirk dot com.
Speaker 3: Joining us in studio is Danny Philip to my life.
Speaker 3: There's there's the.
Speaker 2: Wide screence and Mikey McCoy am I right, it's been
Speaker 2: a minute, and obviously we have Blake nev I want
Speaker 2: to get to some of your emails here because I
Speaker 2: asked about the twenty fifth Amendment if you thought there
Speaker 2: was any credence to it, and resoundingly, this audience feels
Speaker 2: like that's garbage. Basically, you're like, Trump's the goat, Trump
Speaker 2: is what is it? Most folks don't understand the threat
Speaker 2: Trump is winning, the Trump were the face we the Trump,
Speaker 2: the threat we face from China. Trump's sacrifice and took
Speaker 2: a chance in Iran to solve two problems at once,
Speaker 2: you know, And another gentleman was saying that this is
Speaker 2: from Tory uh aged thirty four from Washington, say, how
Speaker 2: do people not see the complete double standard applied to
Speaker 2: podcasters who are allowed to say all manner of falsehoods,
Speaker 2: but Trump writes one tweet and now he's the one
Speaker 2: acting crazy. I mean, I'm you know, sometimes we ask questions,
Speaker 2: we get kind of a fifty to fifty. This is like,
Speaker 2: you know, complete Trump is not losing it basically, So
Speaker 2: that's interesting from your guys' perspective. Okay, first question, is
Speaker 2: there or ask us anything? Hour to the final hour
Speaker 2: of the week. Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Welcome to the Charlie
Speaker 2: Kirk Show. Please ummute yourself all right.
Speaker 10: So I was on the show back in October of
Speaker 10: last year and I asked the question how a stay
Speaker 10: at home mom can get more involved, and Tyler went
Speaker 10: on to suggest getting involved at the local level, like
Speaker 10: a school board. My kids are public school.
Speaker 5: Fast forward to last month, I was approached by a
Speaker 5: well respected current school board member telling me I needed
Speaker 5: to run for school board. So my question is that
Speaker 5: my husband is reluctantly supportive. If this is a path
Speaker 5: I go down, how do I carry the weight and
Speaker 5: the burden of this role in the community but also
Speaker 5: keep the peace in my home and my marriage.
Speaker 3: How many kids do you have?
Speaker 10: I have four boys and we're here in Arizona.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, four boys. I love that, so nice to see.
Speaker 2: If I could have had four and they would have
Speaker 2: all been I love my girls, but you know that
Speaker 2: would be that'd be fun, all right. So that's a
Speaker 2: big question. And you know every marriage is different. It
Speaker 2: sounds like at least your husband is being supportive reluctantly, so,
Speaker 2: but I think everything has to start with you and
Speaker 2: your husband making a decision together. So if if you
Speaker 2: guys are not unified and aligned completely, then then I
Speaker 2: would say that that's the first thing that needs to
Speaker 2: get dealt with, because I will tell you everything that
Speaker 2: I've been through in the last seven months after what
Speaker 2: happened with Charlie. If my marriage wasn't good, if my
Speaker 2: family wasn't good, I wouldn't have been able to do
Speaker 2: any of it. I mean, it is your refuge, it's
Speaker 2: your source of strength. It's the place that you go
Speaker 2: to and you have peace when the world around you
Speaker 2: is chaotic and when people are hurling accusations and insults
Speaker 2: at you. You need your your home front to be
Speaker 2: just completely secure. So that's what I would say start
Speaker 2: there and once that's good, you guys can do whatever
Speaker 2: you want and accomplish whatever you want. But I commend
Speaker 2: your heart for wanting to be involved and to be
Speaker 2: a source for good change. Anybody else have thoughts on this,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You've got a family, Yeah, no, I remember. So my
Speaker 3: dad ran for city council. He was a pastor, so
Speaker 3: he ran for mayor too. Well no, no, well, the
Speaker 3: city council one thousand oaks. You take turns being mayor,
Speaker 3: you're elected to the city council. But what had happened
Speaker 3: was is he was a pastor and he ran for politics.
Speaker 3: So he said, the two things you don't talk about
Speaker 3: at dinner parties are, you know, Chris, your faith or politics?
Speaker 3: He goes, So I wasn't invited to any dinner parties
Speaker 3: because I was both this. But I remember during COVID
Speaker 3: he decided to keep his church open against city city
Speaker 3: commands basically, and he was outside of the law that
Speaker 3: he had basically sat on the city council to enforce.
Speaker 3: And I remember him the night before, sitting up super
Speaker 3: late with my mom, and he was like, if I
Speaker 3: do this, if I keep the church open, I could
Speaker 3: go to jail. I'm gonna have to step down from
Speaker 3: being mayor, I might go to jail. All these things
Speaker 3: and goes, so should I do it? And because my
Speaker 3: mom and dad had so often talked about these things
Speaker 3: and just always over communicated and we're always on the
Speaker 3: same page. My mom looked at him and she said,
Speaker 3: why is this even a question. I didn't marry a coward.
Speaker 3: This is a true story. And my dad is like,
Speaker 3: you're right, and that is like, that's the beauty of
Speaker 3: over communicating in a marriage, and the beauty of being
Speaker 3: on the same page, because when your mission oriented and
Speaker 3: on the same mission as a couple, nothing can stop you.
Speaker 2: I agree. It's God's design. It's the foundational building block
Speaker 2: of society for a reason, because everything starts at the home.
Speaker 2: So that's you know, there's a thousand political questions that
Speaker 2: we could get into about how to do it or
Speaker 2: how to run. But the truth is, if you and
Speaker 2: your husband are good and you share the same vision
Speaker 2: and mission, you guys are gonna guys are going to
Speaker 2: be able to accomplish so much together. And I wouldn't
Speaker 2: worry about all the particulars at this point, just worry
Speaker 2: if you and your husband are good?
Speaker 3: Is that good?
Speaker 10: Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, what's our next question?
Speaker 3: Here? We got Anthony? Anthony, he's back going.
Speaker 9: Thanks Blake, Well, hi guys, Hey, so it's kind of
Speaker 9: I have a reply to the twenty fifth Amendment, and
Speaker 9: then I have a question for Blake only Blake. Oh boy,
Speaker 9: So the whole twenty fifth amendment thing is and Andrew
Speaker 9: you touched on it in an earlier session. Nobody really
Speaker 9: understands it. They just think, oh, he's a whack job.
Speaker 9: He's a wacko. We got a twenty fifth amendment. People
Speaker 9: are just saying things, but because they don't understand things.
Speaker 9: And I think with the you know, Alex Jones, Tucker
Speaker 9: and all them, they're looking for clicks, they're looking for clickbait,
Speaker 9: they're looking for engagement, and you know, they're just going
Speaker 9: to want to start stir to pot, like we see
Speaker 9: what the left does and Democrats, because I'm seeing in
Speaker 9: my own area that Joe Morelli's my it's people are
Speaker 9: protesting outside his house to twenty fifth making him twenty
Speaker 9: fifth amendment Trump or end the war in Iran. But
Speaker 9: like nobody really understands why it's in there, and you
Speaker 9: did a really good job explaining it, and I know
Speaker 9: Blake has as well in the past, and Charlie did
Speaker 9: as well. Biden was somebody that really should have been
Speaker 9: twenty fifth Amendment because his health was not good, and
Speaker 9: they never did it, so for them to use it now, Okay,
Speaker 9: why don't we do that? When George Bush was president
Speaker 9: when we went to Iraq, we should have twenty fifth
Speaker 9: memenent him. He kept us in that long war. You know,
Speaker 9: think about that. Why did anybody bring it up? He
Speaker 9: was the last Republican president before Trump.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair question. Ultimately, Ultimately, when people bring up the
Speaker 3: twenty fifth Amendment thing for a case other than Biden,
Speaker 3: where there really was serious evidence that guy was not
Speaker 3: aware of what was going on, Yeah, they're basically just
Speaker 3: saying they don't like that we have a republic that
Speaker 3: elects the president. Okay, well that's a take. It's a
Speaker 3: popular take. The government they have in major countries, they
Speaker 3: don't have elections, they don't elect their leaders. If you
Speaker 3: want to have that approach, go for it. But that's
Speaker 3: not the country we have in America. That's not the
Speaker 3: system we've used in America for two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: years this year, and I wish people would be a
Speaker 3: little more honest about this. Just say, I think DC
Speaker 3: is better than the rest of the country, and I
Speaker 3: think they should just be allowed to throw out the
Speaker 3: president when they feel that he is bad.
Speaker 9: Okay, Like notice for an apartment, like let's say victim
Speaker 9: from the White House, like in eviction. Those for an
Speaker 9: apartment you don't pay a rent. So my question, now,
Speaker 9: this is a fun one. I'm gonna pull a Charlie
Speaker 9: on you, Blake, And you know how Charlie would ask you, Okay,
Speaker 9: go read this book and come back and tell me. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so I know, Okay, So I know you're kind of
Speaker 9: a sports fan. So this is Master's Week and this
Speaker 9: is a big week.
Speaker 3: In the country.
Speaker 9: Golf fan, Oh, this is gonna be perfect. Now you
Speaker 9: got to tell me and look it up and research it.
Speaker 9: What the Crow's nest is at Augusta National and why
Speaker 9: it is one of the biggest traditions there is for
Speaker 9: this tournament.
Speaker 3: This is a cooler question before i'd probably just now
Speaker 3: you just go ask freaking claw.
Speaker 2: I don't know this and I love the Masters, the Masters,
Speaker 2: but you.
Speaker 11: Need to look it up.
Speaker 9: And Danny, you can't help.
Speaker 3: Them, Blake. What is the crow's nest? The Crow's nest
Speaker 3: is it's the third floor of the Augusta National Clubhouse,
Speaker 3: and it's where the amateur golfers day. They always have
Speaker 3: five amateur players at the Masters. I also I dove
Speaker 3: down because I had to find out the best ones
Speaker 3: ever finished is second at the Masters. The guy finished
Speaker 3: one stroke behind Gary Player back in the sixties. That'd
Speaker 3: be it'd be really cool if an amateur one, although
Speaker 3: I guess it'd be it'd be a little lame. They
Speaker 3: wouldn't get the prize money, but they'd be so famous anyway.
Speaker 3: But that's a it's a it's good for me to
Speaker 3: learn because my knowledge of golf is mostly restricted to
Speaker 3: Happy Gilmore. Apparently, the jacket isn't real. That's not a
Speaker 3: real tournament.
Speaker 2: I'm really green.
Speaker 3: Jacket is very green. Jacket is very real. But they
Speaker 3: don't let you take the jacket. You store it at Augusta.
Speaker 3: Then you wear it, well, you wear it for a year.
Speaker 2: I think you get it for a year, and then
Speaker 2: they do like they do a dinner at the beginning
Speaker 2: of the tournament where all the old winners come back
Speaker 2: and they get to wear their jacket.
Speaker 3: The winner from the year before picks the menu. You
Speaker 3: could have like a really psychopath golfer. Just pick like
Speaker 3: a terrible jelly fish jelly all right, Next question, who's up?
Speaker 2: We got Kyrie, Kyrie, welcome to the show, like Kyrie,
Speaker 2: Irvin Irving.
Speaker 12: I'm here, Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes we can.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 13: This is my first time to do this, and I'm
Speaker 13: I have tried before and it hasn't worked, so maybe
Speaker 13: I've got it figured it out good.
Speaker 12: First, I just say it is such an honor to
Speaker 12: be speaking with you all.
Speaker 13: I think you'all have all done a fabulous job since
Speaker 13: Charlie was taken, and I'm.
Speaker 12: So so thankful for each of you.
Speaker 13: I pray for you all by name, anyone whose name
Speaker 13: I have heard mentioned on the show or his who
Speaker 13: I know is one of the staff. I keep a
Speaker 13: little list, and I try to pray for you all regularly.
Speaker 3: And we love getting your emails. I see you in
Speaker 3: the in the inbox quite a lot.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I hope I don't pass th y'all too much.
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 12: My question is, well, I kind of have a two
Speaker 12: part question.
Speaker 13: One is related to what I just said, and that
Speaker 13: is if if any I know you all have a
Speaker 13: much bigger staff than I'm aware of, So anyone that
Speaker 13: would be comfortable I don't know about privacy issues and
Speaker 13: everything sharing their name, if I could get like an
Speaker 13: email of just kind of like the Charlie Kirk Show
Speaker 13: staff turning Point staff turning Point action. But I would
Speaker 13: love to have more names of all you guys to
Speaker 13: pray for. So that's one thing. Anybody that feels comfortable,
Speaker 13: I'd love that. My other question is more trivial, but
Speaker 13: it's still kind of something I've been curious about. Charlie
Speaker 13: I think would allow himself chocolate tip ice cream on
Speaker 13: the fourth of July and on his birthday.
Speaker 12: Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, although he didn't do it last year.
Speaker 2: You know it's interesting, is he like he had these
Speaker 2: little cheat days every every so often, very rarely. But
Speaker 2: I remember one day he was eating like chicken wings,
Speaker 2: like like a big deal.
Speaker 3: The wings at the RNC that was the best one,
Speaker 3: and he got a cartoonishly vast amount of them, like
Speaker 3: several hundred. I think he had. I was the one
Speaker 3: that ordered. Yeah, I think he ended up having so
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: This is actually, this is actually something we're talking about
Speaker 2: because you know you know this too, Danny. You probably
Speaker 2: know this. We've probably all had our experience. But going
Speaker 2: to dinner with Charlie was an experience. So you'd sit
Speaker 2: down at a restaurant. Usually it was like a work
Speaker 2: thing or whatever she has that's like a kind of
Speaker 2: a high powered person that you're sitting there meeting, and
Speaker 2: then Charlie would take the menu and the the waiter
Speaker 2: would come or the waitress would come, and he would
Speaker 2: go all right. He would just take control as as
Speaker 2: soon as they came to be, like, do you want
Speaker 2: any drinks? And so I want this, we want this,
Speaker 2: Let's get two of those. Huh, those are great, you're
Speaker 2: gonna love those. And you're gonna love those three of these.
Speaker 2: Could we get the steak and I'm gonna get the
Speaker 2: stay just broccolini, a little bit oli oil, and he
Speaker 2: would order so much stuff so then all the table
Speaker 2: would just be like filled, and you could say, it's
Speaker 2: like Charlie. Charlie just didn't want to wait for everybody
Speaker 2: to be polite and all that stuff, so he would
Speaker 2: just like take control.
Speaker 3: And just order everything.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the chicken wings.
Speaker 3: He had a few nights of the year, the night
Speaker 3: of our gala or winter gala. Every single night he
Speaker 3: would have chicken wings from Flannagan's in Palm Beach, had
Speaker 3: to be from flannag in rn C.
Speaker 8: Was the big, the big chicken wing dump. I remember
Speaker 8: that night.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: He did mint chocolate ice cream on for July.
Speaker 3: And his birthday, although this last year he didn't do
Speaker 3: it because he was like, I can't, I can't, I
Speaker 3: don't want to add the weight. But I did see
Speaker 3: him at Twoti Santi back in I think this was
Speaker 3: in August. We had dinner with Frank Turk and they
Speaker 3: brought out a cheesecake and the server forced Charlie to
Speaker 3: take a bite, and he took a bite of the cheesecake.
Speaker 9: Oh.
Speaker 3: I actually he told me about this movie.
Speaker 8: It was like, I can't believe he made me do that.
Speaker 3: This is a part of the question. But what I
Speaker 3: also love about his eating habits, As you say, he
Speaker 3: was a very kind of aggressive, fast eater most of
Speaker 3: the time. And I remember when we were in Korea,
Speaker 3: they kept having extremely slow meals. Yeah, and it was
Speaker 3: driving him baddie. Like we were at that hotel and
Speaker 3: it was like a It was a Chinese restaurant, I believe,
Speaker 3: but it was one of those we bring out one
Speaker 3: course at a time and it's really tiny. Had to
Speaker 3: push you had to push a button for them to
Speaker 3: come get that he was. He was. It was like twitching.
Speaker 3: He was just so I can't that it was taking
Speaker 3: so long. That One of my favorite stories though in
Speaker 3: this just speaks to the President and who he is,
Speaker 3: is the day of the Medal of Freedom at the
Speaker 3: White House, when the President honored Charlie gave him the
Speaker 3: metal Freedom. Erica had talked in her speech about how
Speaker 3: Charlie would have mint chocolate ice cream on his birthday
Speaker 3: and on the fourth July every year, and how she's
Speaker 3: going to miss those traditions. And so that night, when
Speaker 3: everybody was kind of leaving the White House, somebody came
Speaker 3: up and said, you know, the President's requesting that Erica
Speaker 3: and her family kind of go to this side room.
Speaker 3: And so she went to the side room. I was
Speaker 3: there and we're like, do we know what are we
Speaker 3: in here for? And out of nowhere, JD walks in
Speaker 3: with a bunch of servers bringing mint chocolate ice cream
Speaker 3: in the White House, and I just thought that was
Speaker 3: so sweet. Like the President heard that, he took note
Speaker 3: of it, and he made sure that you know that
Speaker 3: she was amazed.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, we're excited to tell you about Charlie's favorite supplement.
Speaker 3: If you experience brain fog, low energy, frequent illnesses, or
Speaker 3: if you just wake up stiff and achy every day,
Speaker 3: you've got to try strong cell. Charlie took it every
Speaker 3: single day. He frequently talked about it on the show,
Speaker 3: and he even traveled around the country bringing it with him.
Speaker 3: For Charlie, strong cell helped keep his mind sharp and
Speaker 3: focused for all the debates he was engaged in. Strong
Speaker 3: cell gives clean, natural energy without jitters, weird spikes, or
Speaker 3: afternoon crashes. It makes you feel like a younger version
Speaker 3: of yourself. People would often ask Charlie what is strong
Speaker 3: cell exactly.
Speaker 1: Strong cell uses a proprietary delivery of ANYDH to make
Speaker 1: sure go straight to your cells to help your mitochondria.
Speaker 1: And since there are cells in every air of your body,
Speaker 1: then healthier cells equals a healthier you.
Speaker 3: Strong cell is a nutritional supplement that leverages a remarkable
Speaker 3: enzyme called NADH. Think of it as the power source
Speaker 3: for every single cell in your body. With over thirty
Speaker 3: trillion cells working for you, imagine how great you could
Speaker 3: feel when they're all functioning at their very best. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: as we age our bodies, NADH levels naturally decline, leading
Speaker 3: to all kinds of ailments and health issues linked with
Speaker 3: poor cellular health. Unlike many supplements that simply nix ingredients
Speaker 3: and hope for the best, Strong Cell has a proprietary
Speaker 3: delivery system designed to ensure that those ingredients effectively get
Speaker 3: into your bloodstream where they can truly make a difference.
Speaker 3: This is crucial, as many supplements on the market are
Speaker 3: just pretty packaging with no real benefits. Here's the exciting part.

Speaker 3: Check it out right now. We have Elizabeth.
Speaker 2: Elizabeth, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. Hi, we're doing well.
Speaker 3: Thank you? How are you good?
Speaker 12: Take you to the quick question or something that I saw?
Speaker 3: Marie Salazar's seat is not on a primary ballot until June,
Speaker 3: and I understand there is still time to primary her.
Speaker 3: Do you know anyone Blake?
Speaker 2: What's the details on?
Speaker 3: So I don't know if anyone can primary her. So
Speaker 3: for those wondering we're mad at Salazar, she is the
Speaker 3: congressman from Florida, Digny who's pushing the Dignidad Act, which
Speaker 3: she says is not an amnesty, it's an amnesty, and
Speaker 3: we're very annoyed with that. We had Congressman gill On
Speaker 3: yesterday calling that out. It's very shameful what they are
Speaker 3: trying to do. I think. So the answer definitely someone
Speaker 3: ken primary her Florida. I like this. They have their
Speaker 3: primary date quite late. This is one of my pet
Speaker 3: peeves with American politics, as our election seasons are too long.
Speaker 3: Prime there. Florida primary is not until August, and as
Speaker 3: a result, candidates can still register for a House race
Speaker 3: all the way until mid June. So it is entirely
Speaker 3: possible that we could have someone challenger now. Full disclosure,
Speaker 3: I believe President Trump has endorsed Salazar already.
Speaker 2: Uh that was pre Digny DoD though.
Speaker 3: Yeah. True. But President Trump, you know, I don't know
Speaker 3: the needs he needs an endorsements much.
Speaker 2: But there is somebody in Florida right now that you
Speaker 2: guys want us to see us get behind. Send their
Speaker 2: names freedom at Charliekirk dot com if you are in
Speaker 2: that area.
Speaker 3: What district is she is? She's in the twenty seventh district,
Speaker 3: that is South Miami.
Speaker 2: South Miami. If so, if you guys in that Miami
Speaker 2: area are watching and you have people in mind, send
Speaker 2: their names. We'll send them straight over to our Turning
Speaker 2: Point Action team to vet and see if see if
Speaker 2: there's somebody that we can draft into this race last
Speaker 2: minute and take out an amnesty person, a pro border,
Speaker 2: open border person. We I got like zero patients for this,
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm Americans are sick of their country
Speaker 2: being a dumping ground. We're sick of it getting looted
Speaker 2: and taken advantage of. We want dignity in the American
Speaker 2: dream for Americans, and there's zero patients for this. This
Speaker 2: is why, Like I'll reiterate my point earlier. The polling
Speaker 2: says it's fifty to fifty three percent positive on mass deportations.
Speaker 2: The polling says it's seventy five percent positive on worse
Speaker 2: to the worst. Why those two numbers are not the same.
Speaker 2: Your base has to get out in a midterm. Midterms
Speaker 2: are turnout elections. You do not get nearly the enthusiasm
Speaker 2: for worse to the worst as you do for mass deportations.
Speaker 2: The base is enthusiastic about mass deportations. That's what President
Speaker 2: Trump ran on, That's what got him into office in
Speaker 2: large part. We want mass deportations. If you want enthusiasm,
Speaker 2: if you want turnout, give us what we want. That's
Speaker 2: mass deportations. Salazar is on the wrong side of history,
Speaker 2: sadly for her. Okay, next question.
Speaker 3: We have Kelsey. I think we have to read this one,
Speaker 3: all right, So all we have regular listeners of the
Speaker 3: show back when Charlie was still with us, know that
Speaker 3: Charlie was a huge reader, if my memory serves correctly.
Speaker 3: On one podcast episode, Charlie mentioned Walter Isaacson's biography of
Speaker 3: Elon Musk and how impactful that book was for him
Speaker 3: and how he studied it because he recognized that we
Speaker 3: should study the lives of great people. My question is,
Speaker 3: and I recognize that it is early and these things
Speaker 3: take time, ken or when would we expect an in
Speaker 3: depth biography of Charlie, one that gives great insights into
Speaker 3: both his business and his personal elements of who Charlie was.
Speaker 3: He was a great man, and I think that his
Speaker 3: life deserves to be studied. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2: On the book front, I will say there's a number
Speaker 2: of books that have come out already or have been
Speaker 2: announced about Charlie's live not all of them are sanctioned
Speaker 2: by us, certainly, I will say though. On the documentary front,
Speaker 2: the Turning Point is working on one right now and
Speaker 2: they've been flying around the country interviewing people new Charlie.
Speaker 2: Some of us have been interviewed for it, and that's
Speaker 2: in the works and the team's working really hard on it.
Speaker 2: There's another documentary that we're participating in that's also I
Speaker 2: think going to be very very important and good. I
Speaker 2: think that's a that one's I think going to be
Speaker 2: a theatrical release. So there are at least documentaries that
Speaker 2: were involved in that are that are coming out.
Speaker 3: But I think I think Kelsey's question is smart, which
Speaker 3: is there is something you can get from a detailed biography.
Speaker 3: Think what you'd want is, thankfully, a ton of people
Speaker 3: knew Charlie, a ton of people have stories about them.
Speaker 3: You'd really need you'd need to put in the legwork
Speaker 3: of You'd have to interview everyone involved with Turning Point,
Speaker 3: people in the admin who could talk about the influence
Speaker 3: he had. There's so many stories. Obviously turning point.
Speaker 2: Charlie just did love Walter Isaacson.
Speaker 3: Great thinking that. Walter Isaacson, if you I just saw
Speaker 3: a clip of.
Speaker 2: Him this morning actually explaining the whole chat gpt the
Speaker 2: Open AI lawsuit. Well, so Elon and Sam Altman are
Speaker 2: in a big lawsuit in Oakland about how open started
Speaker 2: as a nonprofit. Elon Musk and Sam Altman actually worked
Speaker 2: together on that to keep it open, to keep it
Speaker 2: a gesture of goodwill to humanity, that AI would be
Speaker 2: sort of a tool for good. They transitioned it to
Speaker 2: a for profit at some point and now it's worth
Speaker 2: like almost a trillion dollars. So Elon is suing Open
Speaker 2: AI because you know, basically lost some of that money
Speaker 2: it was rolled over into a for profit.
Speaker 3: That's a big thing.
Speaker 2: So I saw a clip on Walter Isaacson talking about that,
Speaker 2: about how angry Elon could get. Anyways, Walter Isaacson, if
Speaker 2: you want to do a biography on Charlie, we should talk.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, Charlie loved him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, loved that book.
Speaker 8: Loved that book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's a great question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is I think it'd be there'd be a
Speaker 3: lot to that. There's so many people he was in.
Speaker 3: One of the things we point out is Charlie's effectiveness
Speaker 3: wasn't that he was the best in the world at
Speaker 3: any one thing. It's that he was so good in
Speaker 3: so many domains as an organizer, as an advocate, yeah,
Speaker 3: as a Christian, as a policy guy. And so you
Speaker 3: have so many sectors to draw on, and I think
Speaker 3: that's what you'd especially be able to get if you
Speaker 3: could get a lot of buy in from people.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a very good Mick.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the show. U mute yourself.
Speaker 2: Please, Hey guys, how are you? We're doing great, Mick.
Speaker 2: How about yourself?
Speaker 12: I'm doing great.
Speaker 3: Good to hear some of you guys again.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and you write a question specific from you. Uh,
Speaker 14: you got your start with Charlie when you had your
Speaker 14: communications company. Is that correg.
Speaker 3: Approximately directionally true?
Speaker 14: Okay, So I was wanted to ask you how do
Speaker 14: you get into that communications world. I don't have a
Speaker 14: college degree or anything, but that's something that interests me,
Speaker 14: and specifically in the political sphere. So would you have
Speaker 14: any advice for someone like me that's looking to get
Speaker 14: into that space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. That's listen. I fell into
Speaker 2: it by accident. So I was actually living in la
Speaker 2: I was working in Hollywood, and I was actually working
Speaker 2: with Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, the producers, Hollywood producers,
Speaker 2: and we started launching TV shows and I got kind
Speaker 2: of wrapped into the comms world doing that. So we
Speaker 2: were launching you know, they had all the faith programming
Speaker 2: like the Bible and eighty the Bible Continues and ben
Speaker 2: Her and all that stuff. So I started working in
Speaker 2: promotions and you know, we'd go from you know, CNN
Speaker 2: and Jake Tapper to Fox, to a church to the
Speaker 2: Christian Post. So we just kind of built up a
Speaker 2: big rolodex of reporters launching those those shows, and that
Speaker 2: kind of became another company that was a communications pr company,
Speaker 2: and eventually we got I got to work with Charlie
Speaker 2: through that and then set up my own company so
Speaker 2: I could be more focused on turning points stuff and
Speaker 2: a few other clients, but it was Charlie. If you've
Speaker 2: ever worked with Charlie, you realize how much time he
Speaker 2: would kind of dominate for you. So it just kind
Speaker 2: of one thing to the other. It was it was
Speaker 2: not intentional, I can tell you. Actually, I remember being
Speaker 2: in college thinking that the worst job possible would be
Speaker 2: pr and communications because you're just never able to take
Speaker 2: a break.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that.
Speaker 2: I still agree with that early notion of mine in college,
Speaker 2: but there is truism to it that when you're in
Speaker 2: this business, you just you're constantly on because the news
Speaker 2: never stops, and so that is a struggle with it.
Speaker 2: But I would say, as far as advice, advice would
Speaker 2: be find a comm shop that you like, the work
Speaker 2: that they're doing, the clients that they have. And I
Speaker 2: don't know how old you are, Mick, but my advice
Speaker 2: for all people trying to break into an industry is
Speaker 2: just make yourself easy to work with, make yourself accessible,
Speaker 2: make yourself affordable. Meaning if you could do an internship
Speaker 2: for six months, just say I will work for free
Speaker 2: for six months. I just want to prove my worth
Speaker 2: and I want to work harder than anybody else. And
Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm at your disposal. I'll do whatever you want.
Speaker 2: I'll get coffee, I'll go on runs, I'll pick up
Speaker 2: your dry cleaning. I'll do whatever you want. I just
Speaker 2: want to work with you. And I want to prove
Speaker 2: my value. And that's the other thing. If you just
Speaker 2: provide value to people, they're gonna want to keep you around.
Speaker 2: So that's what I would say. Go do your research
Speaker 2: and then reach out see if you can get grab
Speaker 2: a cop and work for free. That's my advice. That
Speaker 2: sound good, Mick, Thank you so much, Andrew. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: all right, good good luck, Mick. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: com shops out there that could use good people. Really.
Speaker 2: All right, what's our next question? We got David David,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. What's your question?
Speaker 11: Thank you guy. You guys do a great job, by
Speaker 11: the way, appreciate all the work that's being done. But
Speaker 11: dude has some concerns. Though you saw my question there.
Speaker 11: I don't know what the plan is right now. I
Speaker 11: may have missed, but we sorely missed Charlie Kirk out here,
Speaker 11: especially in California. He's making a big difference out here
Speaker 11: with some of the college kids, and I just keep
Speaker 11: I'm hoping that somebody can take his place and really
Speaker 11: get out to these kids because they're just so clueless
Speaker 11: and they're still misinformed and uneducated. Even with my own
Speaker 11: two kids who are in college. They had like no idea.
Speaker 11: They're like against Israel for some reason. We can't figure
Speaker 11: out why. My wife and I and they just like
Speaker 11: they had no idea what Israel has gone for over
Speaker 11: the years, how they've been attacked and oppressed and everything,
Speaker 11: and all they do is see Israel as a they're
Speaker 11: just causing mass genocide or whatever, and they don't understand
Speaker 11: what's really happening here. Same with all of that. I
Speaker 11: just watched Fox Nears and listen to how these guys
Speaker 11: go on the beach to asking about Iran. These colleague
Speaker 11: kids in their clueless they're like, who's Who's I told?
Speaker 11: What is that all about? It'll anybody anything? And I
Speaker 11: just like I just started down messages getting lost.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well so, David.
Speaker 2: I mean, one of the things that people have to
Speaker 2: understand about what Charlie was able to do, and I
Speaker 2: think it sounds like you do understand it, is he
Speaker 2: would have these debates and then the clips would go viral.
Speaker 2: So and we're talking, you know, we calculated it was
Speaker 2: billions of views, and so it's really, if not impossible,
Speaker 2: it's darn near impossible to replace something like that. And
Speaker 2: we have to be honest about that. Okay, Now we
Speaker 2: are doing what little little known. We are embarking upon
Speaker 2: the most aggressive, robust tour season in Turning Point history,
Speaker 2: and that's the pick Up the Mic events. So we
Speaker 2: have a bunch of people that are participating in those.
Speaker 2: Blake did one as a matter of fact, and we're
Speaker 2: putting those on social media.
Speaker 3: A lot of people are seeing the clips.
Speaker 2: They're going viral as well, not in the same way
Speaker 2: because it's not Charlie, but they are having a massive impact.
Speaker 2: And we've got lots of people that have volunteered to
Speaker 2: do those events and all across the country, college campuses,
Speaker 2: all across the country. So that's one thing you need
Speaker 2: to know about. And we're also doing Makevin crowded. But
Speaker 2: in general, Turning Point is doing more tour stops than
Speaker 2: we have ever ever done in a single semester and
Speaker 2: that's going to continue into the fall. So I want
Speaker 2: you to know that we are still doing that work
Speaker 2: and we're trying to pick up the mantle, pick up
Speaker 2: the mic, if you will. But when it comes to
Speaker 2: Israel and Blake, I know you have some thoughts here.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of voices that are driving that, and
Speaker 2: your kids are watching it on social media, they're hearing
Speaker 2: about it on campus. And if you look at the
Speaker 2: polling under what like forty under, maybe even fifty, Israel's underwater.
Speaker 2: It's been.
Speaker 3: It's it's somewhat dark to think about because a lot
Speaker 3: of this shift it did begin with ten to seven,
Speaker 3: which was October seventh, which was a very heinous terrorist
Speaker 3: attack basically out of nowhere, while in an area that
Speaker 3: was peaceful and getting better, and that was always when
Speaker 3: I would talk with Charlie about it, we'd emphasize that point.
Speaker 3: This was an area where there wasn't a lot of
Speaker 3: war going on, where there were more opportunities for palestines.
Speaker 3: They were being allowed actually to go into Israelis guest
Speaker 3: workers make more money that way. And Hamas didn't like
Speaker 3: that that progress was being made there, and so they
Speaker 3: smashed it to pieces. They had people going on paragliders,
Speaker 3: massacre a concert, massacre people in Kibbutzim. And yet in
Speaker 3: the wake of that, it's that there's this big picture
Speaker 3: ideology that drives a lot of this, and it's sort
Speaker 3: of this valorization of victimhood, valorization of helplessness. What hamas did.
Speaker 3: Is they started a massive war knowing they were hugely outmatched,
Speaker 3: and then they drag it out forever without surrendering, without
Speaker 3: giving back hostages, and you end up in this situation
Speaker 3: where they can't win. So they're going to get the
Speaker 3: crap beat out of them. But then people feel bad
Speaker 3: for them because it is a one sided conflict overall,
Speaker 3: and I think in modern TikTok driven politics, social media
Speaker 3: driven politics, very visual politics, it's been very bad for them.
Speaker 3: It's been very tough for them to make the case.
Speaker 3: And I will say, unfortunately, I don't think it's going
Speaker 3: to get better in the near future because we talk
Speaker 3: to young people, the war with Iran is just not popular,
Speaker 3: and the perception is accurate, frankly, that Israel did want
Speaker 3: this conflict. They lobbied the president to pursue it. That
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they dog walked him into it, that doesn't
Speaker 3: mean they blackmailed him into it. But they argued in
Speaker 3: favor of a conflict that for young people we just
Speaker 3: know is not popular. They think it's a distraction from
Speaker 3: what they voted for.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and I would say, and I would love
Speaker 2: your input on this if you yeah, you have some No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just gonna say, the misconception that young
Speaker 3: people are clueless, I just push back on a little bit,
Speaker 3: because we don't think this way for no reason. We
Speaker 3: don't question is real for no reason. We're not fatigued
Speaker 3: with foreign policy for no reason. This didn't just kind
Speaker 3: of come out of the ether and we just decided
Speaker 3: to believe it. From the time we were born to today,
Speaker 3: there's been a conflict in the Middle East. From the
Speaker 3: time we were born to today, with nine to eleven
Speaker 3: and so on, there's been a war in the Middle
Speaker 3: East that has involved US and Israel, okay, and then
Speaker 3: from the time we've been born to today, we've seen
Speaker 3: American troops die in the Middle East, We've seen families
Speaker 3: lose loved ones in the Middle East, We've seen billions
Speaker 3: of dollars go to the Middle East. And so now,
Speaker 3: as young people, it's not just singularly is reel, it's
Speaker 3: foreign policy as a whole. We're tired of seeing government
Speaker 3: money go elsewhere when we may not even have an
Speaker 3: economic future for ourselves. And I mean, you can look
Speaker 3: at all these charts of like how much of the
Speaker 3: actual economy is owned by the older generations and how
Speaker 3: much of it is going to end up being owned
Speaker 3: by young people. And the charts are crazy. What is it, Danny,
Speaker 3: It's like sixty percent of the economies owned by boomers.
Speaker 3: And love boomers. But look, something has to change, and
Speaker 3: if it doesn't, don't be shocked when young people have
Speaker 3: radical views that may not fit your norm. And that
Speaker 3: does play a role in it, which is the pro
Speaker 3: Israel sentiment was a lot stronger in the GOP for
Speaker 3: a long time, and I think sometimes this was when
Speaker 3: people disagreed with it. This was asserted pretty aggressively on people,
Speaker 3: and I think there's still attempts to do that, and
Speaker 3: there's just not the level of coalitional unity on that
Speaker 3: to do that anymore. Yeah, you have to. Charlie was
Speaker 3: aware of this, Charlie said. Charlie sent a letter to
Speaker 3: NETANYAHUO as we know, basically saying pr for people who
Speaker 3: support Israel is not very good. There needs to be
Speaker 3: a change of tactics. You need to make the case
Speaker 3: better than.
Speaker 2: Been And I would just say, I'll finish the point
Speaker 2: with this that Charlie rejected anti semitism, scapegoating Israel and Jews.
Speaker 2: There's no there should be no place in polite society
Speaker 2: for that. Really, and truly, it's a road to nowhere.
Speaker 2: It leads to destruction, brain Rod, but question foreign policy,
Speaker 2: different topics.
