Speaker 2: All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's April sixth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Happy Easter weekend. Hope all of you
Speaker 2: enjoyed some time celebrating the Risen Lord and enjoying it
Speaker 2: with your family and friends. I know that's what I
Speaker 2: was doing. Hopefully you had a great experience as well.
Speaker 2: Blake is in an undisclosed location.
Speaker 4: Blake, I'll disclose it. I'm in South Dakota. That's why
Speaker 4: I have hunting things behind me. I had to relocate
Speaker 4: where my setup was so I don't look like I'm
Speaker 4: in a North Korean prison.
Speaker 3: All of the time I.
Speaker 2: Was, I was expecting a hostage situation. Look, that's what
Speaker 2: I was expecting. Now this isn't so bad.
Speaker 3: Much better, it's not.
Speaker 2: So bad now. I believe that we have so obviously
Speaker 2: the big news over the weekend. Say that again. So
Speaker 2: we don't have Dakota yet. He's a Medal of Honor
Speaker 2: winner and recipient, and it sounds like we're having an
Speaker 2: audio issue. But he's lined up to give us his take.
Speaker 2: We're gonna see if we can get him sorted soon.
Speaker 2: But Blake, that was the big news over the weekend,
Speaker 2: this rescue mission. We had the F fifteen to E
Speaker 2: that was shot down in Iran, and then we got one.
Speaker 2: We got the pilot back. But the Wizzo is a
Speaker 2: new term that everybody now is aware of, which is
Speaker 2: the weapons system's operator was not rescued or recovered immediately.
Speaker 2: And it was this harrowing almost two day journey where
Speaker 2: we learned that this gentleman hiked up a seven thousand
Speaker 2: foot mountainous region in Iran, he climbed into a crevice
Speaker 2: and then activated his beacon. He was injured while doing
Speaker 2: all of this. Then the United States military was concerned
Speaker 2: that it could have been a ploy by the Iranians
Speaker 2: to lure in more American troops. They then determined that
Speaker 2: it was not that it was actually the authentic beacon
Speaker 2: from this Wizzo, this weapon systems operator, a colonel. They
Speaker 2: then proceed to initiate a recovery mission the likes of
Speaker 2: which I have never heard of in living memory. At least,
Speaker 2: it was absolutely remarkable the details of this story. Blake,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have any thoughts before we
Speaker 2: play some of the play by play here, but we
Speaker 2: lost some aircraft. But what we also established is that
Speaker 2: the United States military will leave no man behind. I
Speaker 2: don't care what you think of Operation Epic Fury. What
Speaker 2: these brave men and women did in our military was
Speaker 2: absolutely amazing, heroic, and I think former Centcom Commander, retired
Speaker 2: General Frank Mackenzie said it, and I think he said
Speaker 2: it really well. Listen, it takes one year to build
Speaker 2: a military aircraft. It takes two hundred years to establish
Speaker 2: a culture where we leave no American serviceman behind. And
Speaker 2: I think that's beautiful.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, it's It's a big win for the armed forces,
Speaker 4: no matter how you put it. Apparently, yeah, we lost
Speaker 4: a lot of equipment, and you find people dunking on
Speaker 4: us for this, but that really is the message. There's
Speaker 4: something very special about a country that will sacrifice a
Speaker 4: bunch of equipment to get one pilot. It's very great
Speaker 4: for the morale of our own soldiers to know that
Speaker 4: they're treated as valuable, and.
Speaker 3: It's demoralizing to the enemy.
Speaker 4: They had an American in their own territory, deep in
Speaker 4: their own territory, and they're shown they don't have mastery
Speaker 4: of it, they don't have control of it. Apparently, they
Speaker 4: were offering a thirty thousand dollar reward or thereabouts for
Speaker 4: catching him, and they were unable to do so, or
Speaker 4: so it.
Speaker 2: Seems, well, that's that's what's so funny about this. So
Speaker 2: Danny was actually showing me a bunch of these European
Speaker 2: Twitter takes X takes, and they were they were creating.
Speaker 3: European European we should put that in quotes.
Speaker 2: Wow, exactly who knows where these people are from? What
Speaker 2: bought farm in Pakistan they're from? Actually, but you know,
Speaker 2: the European mind was unable to grasp that we would
Speaker 2: be willing to sacrifice military equipment to save one serviceman.
Speaker 2: And that's the amazing part about this is that we
Speaker 2: have established a culture where, yeah, there it is. They
Speaker 2: can't imagine that we would sacrifice equipment to save one man.
Speaker 2: And I want to also underscore the fact that it
Speaker 2: wasn't just about one man. This was about This was
Speaker 2: about the fact that we are demoralizing the enemy. Imagine
Speaker 2: if this weapon service, the systems operator would have been captured,
Speaker 2: the added leverage that they would have had over President
Speaker 2: Trump and the Trump administrations. We're trying to negotiate a
Speaker 2: potential peace we're hearing rumors of a forty five day
Speaker 2: peace plan that's going back and forth. President Trump is saying, hey,
Speaker 2: you got forty eight hours. He extended that to I
Speaker 2: believe eight pm Eastern Tuesday, so he's giving the time.
Speaker 2: And it sounds like President Trump's willing to start targeting
Speaker 2: additional targets that would be more infrastructure based, bridges, power plants,
Speaker 2: this sort of thing. I want to I'm hoping and
Speaker 2: praying that this is just.
Speaker 4: We should probably read the message. It's it was quite colorful.
Speaker 4: We can't read all of it, but this was the
Speaker 4: President's Easter message. Tuesday will be power plant Day and
Speaker 4: bridge Day all wrapped up in one.
Speaker 3: In Iran. There will be nothing like it.
Speaker 4: Open the expletive straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll.
Speaker 3: Be living in hell.
Speaker 4: Just watch and a slight eyebrow raise, he said, Praise
Speaker 4: be to Allah at the end of it. That that
Speaker 4: might be the that might be one of the most
Speaker 4: that's probably in the top ten of strange Trump tweets,
Speaker 4: a highly memorable one, but he was certainly sending the
Speaker 4: message that he he remains prepared.
Speaker 3: To blow things up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well and listen, I hope like I said, for
Speaker 2: the sake of the Iranian people in the future, that
Speaker 2: this is saber rattling that President Trump. Here's the leverage
Speaker 2: as I see it, this is you've got the Iranians
Speaker 2: who clearly understand that the patients of the American people
Speaker 2: will wear thin if this drags out. President Trump seems
Speaker 2: to know that. There was clips of him during this
Speaker 2: Easter Egg role at the White House where he's saying, listen,
Speaker 2: I would love to take the oil, but I want
Speaker 2: to get out. The American people. Don't understand that because
Speaker 2: and I want to keep the American people happy. So
Speaker 2: we're you know, we're going to get out. So the
Speaker 2: Iranian people, the Iranian regime, I should say, understands that
Speaker 2: there is a time limit to our patients here and
Speaker 2: the amount of leash that we're given the president. And
Speaker 2: there's political calculations now. So they're basically saying, we're going
Speaker 2: to hunker in, our leaders are going to continue getting killed,
Speaker 2: We're going to get all this stuff blown to smithereens.
Speaker 2: We're just gonna wait it out, and there's not much
Speaker 2: you can do about it. The leverage point that President
Speaker 2: Trump has is that we have air of superiority air dominance.
Speaker 2: We're gonna blow up a bunch of stuff. And in essence,
Speaker 2: their lynch pin here is the Straight of Horne Moose
Speaker 2: that they think that they can use that to keep
Speaker 2: leverage over the entire world. So there is this push
Speaker 2: pool here and we're not sure where it's gonna work
Speaker 2: out and where it's gonna end up. But hopefully saner
Speaker 2: minds will come to the four and we'll get a
Speaker 2: peace deal. I'm not sure that, as you say all
Speaker 2: the time, Blake, you can choose when you start a war,
Speaker 2: you can't always choose when you get out of it.
Speaker 2: And the Straight of Horne Moose being this point of
Speaker 2: leverage that they have over the United States is a
Speaker 2: huge point of leverage. It's a huge, huge obstacle to
Speaker 2: getting this done. And you know, the problem with the
Speaker 2: Straight of horn Moose is you can block it with
Speaker 2: relatively unsophisticated means, small boats that float around drop mines,
Speaker 2: and then you lock down twenty percent of the world's
Speaker 2: oil trade.
Speaker 3: That's that's been the whole problem with the war.
Speaker 4: It's been you know, we have to lob missiles that
Speaker 4: cost fifty million dollars, but a lot of modern warfare
Speaker 4: is minds.
Speaker 3: You can make for a few thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Drones that are the hot price of a Honda Civic,
Speaker 4: and it's a lot of it is about how much,
Speaker 4: how quickly you can manufacture things, how quickly you can
Speaker 4: get them to the front. And so we're seeing that
Speaker 4: challenge unfold. But hopefully we're on the brink of a
Speaker 4: piece deal that Easter is a time of making peace,
Speaker 4: so hopefully that message might even spread to the mountains
Speaker 4: of Iran.
Speaker 2: Well, let's hope it does. We're still working on getting
Speaker 2: Dakota Meyer to get his perspective on this rescue mission,
Speaker 2: which was truly truly historic. I mean, again, whatever you
Speaker 2: think of this conflict, what are men and women in
Speaker 2: service in the in the military did here was truly
Speaker 2: truly remarkable special forces up and down the line. So
Speaker 2: I want to go through I'm getting conflicting signals here,
Speaker 2: but listen, we have we have a segment here. So
Speaker 2: there's this wild theory, Blake and even you said, I
Speaker 2: wonder if there's anything to it all, right, So the
Speaker 2: wild theory it was put on ex Twitter first by
Speaker 2: a gentleman named Finance A lot Okay, So his take
Speaker 2: is that this's gotten. What is this at, It's at
Speaker 2: seven point five million engagements. Now he says the down
Speaker 2: pilot was a fake cover story for a failed US mission,
Speaker 2: US military operation to capture Ron's primary stockpile of highly
Speaker 2: enriched sixty percent uranium. So the primary stockpiles loaded located
Speaker 2: at Istfahan, exactly where the pilot was lost. This explains
Speaker 2: why the US heavily bombed the ERA while searching, and
Speaker 2: why the C one thirties were destroyed without loss of life.
Speaker 2: The SEA one thirties were hit on the ground while
Speaker 2: the special Forces attempted to secure the material. The entire
Speaker 2: operation became a massive rescue operation to extract the soldiers.
Speaker 2: I listen, I'd buy parts of this if as at
Speaker 2: least credible logically. Okay, I don't think this is what happened.
Speaker 2: What we're told is that they were actually bombing. What
Speaker 2: they were doing is the CIA was putting out disinformation
Speaker 2: intentionally to misdirect the Iranians on the ground. So they
Speaker 2: said that the pilot had already the pilot and the
Speaker 2: weapon system operator because I remember there was two in
Speaker 2: the F fifteen, there was two crew member, so they
Speaker 2: put out misdirections. Then they would bomb or strike anybody
Speaker 2: that was getting within about two miles of this gentleman
Speaker 2: who was this colonel who was up about seven thousand
Speaker 2: feet high, seven thousand feet up there. But it could
Speaker 2: and Blake, I'd love your take on this. It could
Speaker 2: have been a massive misdirection to go get the uranium.
Speaker 2: It's in theory could be something that.
Speaker 4: Or another possibility is that's how the pilot went down.
Speaker 4: Is they might have been in danger because that plane
Speaker 4: might have been supporting the mission in some capacity. I
Speaker 4: think there's I think there's some reason to think it
Speaker 4: could be true, which is just as they say the location,
Speaker 4: and we know the president was talking about this, we
Speaker 4: know it has been in consideration to launch a mission
Speaker 4: to get the.
Speaker 3: Uranium, and we have to think what would that look like.
Speaker 4: Well, it probably would involve a pretty significant outlay of
Speaker 4: equipment special forces. You'd need big planes to get all
Speaker 4: of that thousands of pounds of material out.
Speaker 3: It's plausible now, is that the case here?
Speaker 4: I feel like if it was, we wouldn't be first
Speaker 4: hearing about it from a random guy on X and
Speaker 4: then having everyone run with it.
Speaker 3: But it's an intriguing possibility.
Speaker 4: I want to say that much, but I imagine if
Speaker 4: that is what really happened, we'll eventually find out, and
Speaker 4: there was until now, I think the official story is
Speaker 4: more likely to be true overall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, listen, you know, you had Iranian
Speaker 2: regime media basically saying that we were bombing the area
Speaker 2: to kill the weapons system's operator before Iranian forces could
Speaker 2: get him. So there was actually misinformation from the Iranian
Speaker 2: saying we were trying to kill our own guy. That's
Speaker 2: not what was happening. I actually think one of the
Speaker 2: plausible scenarios here, again not likely but feasible, right, could
Speaker 2: have been that this was a whole plot and misdirection
Speaker 2: ploy to actually and maybe we actually got some of
Speaker 2: the uranium. Maybe we got all of it. Like, I
Speaker 2: don't necessarily see any indication that it would have been
Speaker 2: a massive failure. What was interesting is that the C
Speaker 2: one thirties were destroyed on the ground. They got stuck,
Speaker 2: which nobody has explained what stuck means. Why would they
Speaker 2: get stuck? Was it how do multiple planes get stuck?
Speaker 2: Did they get attacked, did they get bombed? Did a
Speaker 2: drone kind of blow up the engine part. I have
Speaker 2: no idea what it was, but they got stuck, so
Speaker 2: they had to fly in additional, they destroyed them on
Speaker 2: the ground. They had to fly in additional see when
Speaker 2: thirties come get them and pull them out. Some black
Speaker 2: Hawks also got pretty badly shot up. It sounds like
Speaker 2: again no loss of life, and we're told at least
Speaker 2: one hundred but probably more Special Forces personnel were on
Speaker 2: the ground for this. We have been talking about what
Speaker 2: it would take to get the uranium out of Iran,
Speaker 2: and it would look something like this. It would look
Speaker 2: like this, many military assets, this many personnel, special Forces,
Speaker 2: black Hawks, sea one, thirties transportation planes. So again I listen,
Speaker 2: here's what I would say to your point. I think
Speaker 2: the official narrative is the more feasible narrative, But this
Speaker 2: is also feasible, and I don't necessarily conclude as what
Speaker 2: is it finance a lot concludes that it was some
Speaker 2: massive failure of a mission, it could have very well
Speaker 2: been successful. So if you're going to plausibly put out
Speaker 2: into the world that this could have been this massive
Speaker 2: failure when they were trying to extract their uranium, could
Speaker 2: have also been highly successful, successful we're not sure, but listen,
Speaker 2: I will say this, If the official narrative is true,
Speaker 2: it's completely incredible and heroic and amazing. If it's untrue
Speaker 2: and this alternate theory is true, I also think that
Speaker 2: that's pretty amazing, right, that we would be that creative,
Speaker 2: that clever, that cunning. So I don't really see a
Speaker 2: bad way here unless it was all just really like
Speaker 2: a massive failure as a finance a lot says. Wanted
Speaker 2: to share that with you folks, not because I necessarily
Speaker 2: think it's true, but because a lot of people are
Speaker 2: discussing what are the plausible realities here? And in the
Speaker 2: fog of war, we don't know what's true all the time.
Speaker 2: We don't know what the truth is. But nevertheless, there's
Speaker 2: a lot to discuss. For a lot of Americans, the
Speaker 2: healthcare system is reactive. You get sick first, and then
Speaker 2: you wait for an appointment, Then insurance decides what you're
Speaker 2: allowed to have, and suddenly the medication you need is
Speaker 2: delayed or it's not available. That is where all family
Speaker 2: pharmacy is different. This is not a typical pharmacy. It's
Speaker 2: family owned. I know these guys, they're great guys. Works
Speaker 2: with license doctors and is built around a simple idea.
Speaker 2: That's the idea that you should have the freedom to
Speaker 2: make informed choices about your own health and the ability
Speaker 2: to prepare ahead of time so you're not reactive anymore.
Speaker 2: You're already prepared.
Speaker 1: You do not need insurance, you don't need to beg
Speaker 1: a doctor, just simple, fast, honest care. This is what
Speaker 1: healthcare should look like in America with you in control.
Speaker 2: With All Family Pharmacy, you can order prescription medications before
Speaker 2: you get sick, keep them at home, and have them

Speaker 2: want to welcome to the show now Nate Morris, who
Speaker 2: is a Charlie Kirk endorsed candidate for US Senate from
Speaker 2: the great state of Kentucky. Welcome back to the show, Nate.
Speaker 2: It's great to see you. I just keep hearing the
Speaker 2: most amazing things and updates out of your campaign. I
Speaker 2: keep tabs on it. I'm always like, how's Nate doing.
Speaker 2: How's Nate doing? You are surging. And here's what's crazy.
Speaker 2: When people know that Charlie endorsed you, when they know
Speaker 2: who's behind the other guys, your numbers are even swell,
Speaker 2: even furthest We gotta get the memo out. We got
Speaker 2: to let people know who you are, what you represent,
Speaker 2: give us an update on how things are going in
Speaker 2: the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you so much for the kind words, and
Speaker 5: we are surging. I think the people of Kentucky they're
Speaker 5: ready for change. You know, we've had a senator in
Speaker 5: the seat for over forty years and someone that stabbed
Speaker 5: the president in the back over and over again, and
Speaker 5: the McConnell machine. They're trying to jam one of their
Speaker 5: candidates into the seat, and I think Kentuckians have had
Speaker 5: enough of that. And I think obviously that's what brought
Speaker 5: Charlie to Kentucky to endorse our campaign. I think that's
Speaker 5: why he was so passionate that we needed somebody different
Speaker 5: and a non career politician, somebody who's an outsider, and
Speaker 5: that's the way we've been running this race, and that's
Speaker 5: the kind of senator we're gonna be.
Speaker 6: But what's so fantastic.
Speaker 5: Is is that I think we have a chance to
Speaker 5: frame the future of the Republican Party, what it's going
Speaker 5: to look like, what it's going to stand for. This
Speaker 5: seat is so symbolic in so many different ways, and
Speaker 5: I think that's what Charlie got so excited about. But
Speaker 5: I think that's the opportunity for Kentuckians and for people
Speaker 5: all over the country get involved in this race. We
Speaker 5: got six weeks to go, and it's gonna send shockwaves
Speaker 5: when we defeat the McConnell machine in Kentucky and we
Speaker 5: send a signal around the country that MAGA is here
Speaker 5: to stay and the America First Movement is here to
Speaker 5: live on for generations.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well said. And I feel like your race is
Speaker 2: sort of emblematic of a wider kind of fight over
Speaker 2: the future of the Republican Party that we're seeing. You know,
Speaker 2: it was like twenty sixteen. Trump comes down the Golden escalator.
Speaker 2: I was twenty fifteen, and he got all of this
Speaker 2: pushback from the never Trumpers, from the neocons, the America
Speaker 2: Last Contingent, and you know, then you see the America
Speaker 2: First ascendant. You see that become the dominant ideology, at
Speaker 2: least within the grassroots. And then you're like, recently you're
Speaker 2: starting to see kind of the neokon wing of the
Speaker 2: party reassert itself and I don't like it. I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't like it. And you kind
Speaker 2: of realize what President Trump's up against frame your race
Speaker 2: in terms of these broader political dynamics that we're seeing
Speaker 2: play out right now, whether it's the support of our
Speaker 2: troops or just this kind of it's kind of a
Speaker 2: black pill, like a rooting for us to fail or something.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying to assess the nihilism that you
Speaker 2: see sometimes online. What do you make of it? Nate
Speaker 2: Moore's well.
Speaker 5: I mean, let's start with the United States Senate. We
Speaker 5: have so many senators right now that claim to be
Speaker 5: Republicans that won't stand with this president to get the
Speaker 5: Save America Act passed. I mean, Think about that, Think
Speaker 5: about how crazy that is. The American people overwhelmingly believe
Speaker 5: you should show an ID and want to protect our elections.
Speaker 5: But we got some senators that I believe have a
Speaker 5: personal beef with the president, have personal jealousy, resentment, and
Speaker 5: we got to have senators that are going to be
Speaker 5: in the mold of Magan. They're going to stand with
Speaker 5: the president to get his agenda accomplished and get rid
Speaker 5: of things like the zombie filibuster. You know, I think
Speaker 5: one of the more important issues that we're talking about
Speaker 5: in this campaign is an immigration moratorium. You know, we
Speaker 5: were invaded under Joe Biden. We had twenty million people
Speaker 5: come into the country we know nothing about. And as
Speaker 5: Charlie talked about all the time, this is a battle
Speaker 5: for the country, but this is also a battle for
Speaker 5: Western civilization. And I'm running against somebody they call him
Speaker 5: Amnesty Andy Barr for a reason. Ever since he's gotten
Speaker 5: into Congress, he's left the border wide open. He's naturalized
Speaker 5: millions of illegals. And he does this because the business class,
Speaker 5: the Rhino Republicans of our party, they want the cheap labor,
Speaker 5: and he's willing to back up the truck for them
Speaker 5: and naturalize as many of these illegals as possible, because
Speaker 5: that's where he's owned and that's the support that he's
Speaker 5: been getting in this campaign, and he's going to continue
Speaker 5: to carry their water as long as he's in politics.
Speaker 5: But that's why this race is so important, because we
Speaker 5: see what's going on in Europe. We see Europe is falling,
Speaker 5: and Charlie was right to point this out so many times,
Speaker 5: and all the mess over there is coming here. That's
Speaker 5: same kind of thinking. If we don't get so tough,
Speaker 5: and that's why we got to have people with spines
Speaker 5: of steal that are willing to hit the machine with
Speaker 5: everything they've gotten when they get to Washington and stand strong,
Speaker 5: especially on immigration.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not just Europe that's fallen.
Speaker 4: We were talking with Gad Sad on the show the
Speaker 4: other day, and we've got a Senate candidate running in
Speaker 4: the Michigan race who says he won't talk about, for example,
Speaker 4: how many the Supreme Leader of Iran being taken out
Speaker 4: because there's a lot of people in his state, in Dearborn,
Speaker 4: in the area around Detroit who are very upset about it.
Speaker 4: And I feel whatever you think of the war that's
Speaker 4: unfolding right now. It's been very revealing that we've imported
Speaker 4: a lot of people who if the US gets in
Speaker 4: a war with a foreign power that is hostile to us,
Speaker 4: they will cheer for that foreign power.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's absolutely disgusting, and you know, we're in the
Speaker 5: fight of our life for Western civilization. People don't realize it.
Speaker 5: I see it as I travel even parts of Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Every state now because of the invasion that happened under
Speaker 5: Joe Biden, has become a border state. You know, We've
Speaker 5: got so many different things that are impacting our economy.
Speaker 5: I think one of them is a legal immigration. They're
Speaker 5: taking away opportunities from law abiding American citizens. They're taking
Speaker 5: away housing opportunities, educational opportunities. They're flooding our streets, our cities.
Speaker 5: They're causing all kinds of crime that we can't even
Speaker 5: be accountable for. And this has got to stop if
Speaker 5: we want to save this country and save Western civilization.
Speaker 5: And I think the last thing I'll say is term limits.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm going to be replacing somebody that's been
Speaker 5: in the United States Senate for over forty years, and
Speaker 5: this guy's been in there since before the Internet was created.
Speaker 5: We got to have term limits in this country. I've said,
Speaker 5: I'm going to serve two terms, serve by time, and
Speaker 5: then go back to business after our serve as a
Speaker 5: United States Senator. That's what our founders intended. They never
Speaker 5: intended for this to be someone's career for generations. And
Speaker 5: the two guys I'm running against, they would never ever
Speaker 5: agree to term limits because they need the job, they
Speaker 5: want the prestige, they want the paycheck. And we got
Speaker 5: to have people in the mold to President Trump that
Speaker 5: don't know the swamp anything and they're willing to fight
Speaker 5: with everything they've got.
Speaker 2: So nay. I think Blake and I have described the
Speaker 2: immigration invasion as the switch that if you flip, it
Speaker 2: solves a host of ills, maybe all the ills. Right.
Speaker 2: So there's a guy named Tyler Oliviera who went down
Speaker 2: to Frisco, Texas. This clip's going viral right now, and
Speaker 2: he's covering basically how Frisco within twenty years went from
Speaker 2: this quintessentially Texan part of Texas to now completely Indian.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna play a clip here Saw eighteen.
Speaker 7: I came here on Hit twenty B fourth, everybody was
Speaker 7: I'm gonna comes, but the fast forward now so you
Speaker 7: don't see any i'm gonna comes.
Speaker 8: This is Frisco, Texas. Once quiet farm town turned home
Speaker 8: to one of the largest and fastest growing Indian communities
Speaker 8: in America. It's the Indian population exploded from less than
Speaker 8: two percent to almost twenty percent Indian in the last
Speaker 8: twenty years. Any Texans are outraged, declaring there has been
Speaker 8: an Indian invasion.
Speaker 2: So this is a H one B tiede. It seems
Speaker 2: like what do you think needs to happen with H
Speaker 2: one B? And I'll just say one other thing, Nate.
Speaker 2: A lot of people go, well, nobody, there's not the
Speaker 2: political will to get an immigration moratorium done in this country. Well,
Speaker 2: there's not. If we don't send guys like Nate Morris
Speaker 2: to Washington, you're not gonna start. You got to start somewhere.
Speaker 2: We got to start with actual fighters that are willing
Speaker 2: to make these hard stands, and you expand the Overton
Speaker 2: window of what's possible. But Nate, what do you make
Speaker 2: of this with the H one b's what's happening in Frisco?
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's historical precedent for a moratorium. I mean,
Speaker 5: we remember for about a forty year period from the
Speaker 5: nineteen twenties to the nineteen sixties happen for these the
Speaker 5: wave of immigrants that came into our country to American
Speaker 5: ice to get we got to get back there again.
Speaker 5: We've had so many people come into the country we
Speaker 5: know nothing about. And I've made it clear any form
Speaker 5: of immigration has got to stop until we send every
Speaker 5: legal back.
Speaker 6: It's really simple.
Speaker 5: And I think a lot of folks, you know, they
Speaker 5: feel the same way. They get they get very animated
Speaker 5: by this issue. They see on the ground all the
Speaker 5: challenges that are happening. But I've been very clear about it.
Speaker 5: All immigration stops until every illegal goes back. And I
Speaker 5: think that's gonna send a message, don't come to this
Speaker 5: country illegally, don't break our laws. We're gonna hold the line,
Speaker 5: we're gonna hold you accountable, and we're gonna send you
Speaker 5: back if you try to invade us. And I believe
Speaker 5: this is a threat to our quality of life, western life,
Speaker 5: and most importantly, our national security.
Speaker 6: I mean, we have to remember.
Speaker 5: We've got a lot of people that wish to do
Speaker 5: us harm, and we certainly don't want them infiltrating our
Speaker 5: borders unnecessarily, and that's certainly what happened under Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Again, if you send Nate Morris to DC, the message
Speaker 2: will be heard loud and clear that this is a
Speaker 2: winning message and that people across the political spectrum actually,
Speaker 2: even Democrats. I believe this. Nate want this, even if
Speaker 2: they're not willing to say it out loud because it's
Speaker 2: not politically expedient or appropriate for them to do so.
Speaker 2: But deep down they know we have a problem. We
Speaker 2: know that the country has transformed in twenty years, and
Speaker 2: even Democrats want to see that stop. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: Natemorris dot com. Support this man, send him money, send
Speaker 2: him support volunteer. If you're in Kentucky, please get behind him.
Speaker 2: We need this man in DC. Charlie knew that was
Speaker 2: so important to the future of the country. Nate Morris,
Speaker 2: God bless you.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.

Speaker 2: We have Dakota Meyer here. Now, we had some technical
Speaker 2: difficulties earlier in the hour, but he's back. I just
Speaker 2: want to make a quick note about his service. He's
Speaker 2: a veteran of the War in Afghanistan. He was awarded
Speaker 2: the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle
Speaker 2: of Ganjgal on September eight, two thousand and nine. Meyer
Speaker 2: is the second youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, is
Speaker 2: the third living recipient for either the Iraq War or
Speaker 2: the War in Afghanistan, and he's the first living United
Speaker 2: States Marine in thirty eight years to be honored. So
Speaker 2: we're very, very proud to have Dakota Meyer join the show. Dakota,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Charliekirk Show.
Speaker 9: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry about the technical difficulties, but glad to hear you.
Speaker 2: You look and sound perfect. So I just wanted to
Speaker 2: get your perspective as somebody that has been in really
Speaker 2: fierce battle situations like this, when you're reading the headlines
Speaker 2: and the details of how they rescued this wizzo, this
Speaker 2: weapon systems operator seven thousand feet up on a mountain
Speaker 2: in a crevice, and the beacon and the special forces,
Speaker 2: how incredible. Is this even to you?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I mean, look, first off, it's nothing more than a
Speaker 9: display of what our men and women who serve this
Speaker 9: country are truly capable of, right, I mean, they've always
Speaker 9: been capable of it. I mean, this is what they do.
Speaker 9: And this is also an example of our loyalty to
Speaker 9: each other of leave no man behind in our commitment
Speaker 9: to our men and women to go and fight. But
Speaker 9: what I want to point out mostly of this is
Speaker 9: we can't overlook the fact that what happened is is
Speaker 9: we have leadership who are willing to not put any politics,
Speaker 9: any policy, and not give it about anything other than
Speaker 9: what is in the best interest of or an American
Speaker 9: that's trapped that is needing our help, and they're willing
Speaker 9: to risk it all in order to go get it.
Speaker 9: It was not about you know, well, is it worth it?
Speaker 3: Is it this?
Speaker 9: Or that. It was like, hey, we're going to throw
Speaker 9: everything at it. And that's what happens when you've got
Speaker 9: leadership like we have up there right now, when we've
Speaker 9: got a sec war who's been on the ground, who's
Speaker 9: been shot at, who understands, uh, you know what the
Speaker 9: battlefield's like. I mean, that is exactly what happened. And
Speaker 9: I think that, you know, as yeah, we've got we've
Speaker 9: got men and women who are able to go execute
Speaker 9: the impossible. They're they're absolutely we have the best men
Speaker 9: and women on the world, in the world who wear
Speaker 9: the uniform. And that's you know, that's what you've got
Speaker 9: to see a piece.
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, I mean, I totally agree. I think the
Speaker 2: thing that stands out to me is there was a
Speaker 2: bunch of people on social media talking about how we
Speaker 2: lost all this, uh, these aircraft, these C one thirties,
Speaker 2: a bunch of black Hawks got shot up. And the
Speaker 2: first thing that you know, comes to my mind is
Speaker 2: the fact that, oh, well, Joe Biden left behind what
Speaker 2: eighty billion dollars of equipment in Afghanistan, just left it there,
Speaker 2: and people are gonna start criticizing, you know, the fact
Speaker 2: that the Special Service personnel, you know, blew up a
Speaker 2: couple see one thirties to make sure they didn't fall
Speaker 2: into enemy hands. So I don't understand even the comparison here.
Speaker 2: This is what you're trained to do in these scenarios,
Speaker 2: am I right to coda to make sure that you know,
Speaker 2: we don't leave valuable equipment and technology to fall into
Speaker 2: enemy hands.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, look, you don't see anybody out
Speaker 9: there who's ever been shot at that's sitting here saying
Speaker 9: why did we do this?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 9: I mean, you don't, you know, you don't, you don't
Speaker 9: see any of that. You know, a lot of people
Speaker 9: say a lot of things, and and you know, let
Speaker 9: let them talk from their perspective. But it's almost like,
Speaker 9: you know, trying to explain to my kids, you know,
Speaker 9: why they shoudn't run across the road sometimes, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean. It's really you just can't expect them
Speaker 9: to understand and to be able to comprehend when they've
Speaker 9: never done it or they've never seen the consequences of it.
Speaker 9: But look, they can all have their opinion because there's
Speaker 9: men and women who are out there who are willing
Speaker 9: to go do the nation's bidden so that they can
Speaker 9: have that freedom of speech. But again, like I would
Speaker 9: tell you what I think it does. I think it
Speaker 9: sends a message. I think it sends a message to
Speaker 9: our men and women who are out there fighting that hey,
Speaker 9: we've got leadership there right now who aren't going to
Speaker 9: negotiate and who are not going to sit back and
Speaker 9: tolerate or even risk the fact of you getting caught
Speaker 9: or even say hey, look, it's not worth fighting over
Speaker 9: you for so, you know, I think it sends a
Speaker 9: message across the men and women who are putting their
Speaker 9: life on the line that we have leadership that's going
Speaker 9: to do whatever it takes to get you back whenever
Speaker 9: you're in that situation.
Speaker 2: I'm curious your perspective to code to somebody who's been
Speaker 2: fighting in this sort of like next gen of wars
Speaker 2: right Afghanistan a rock now Iran and you hear this
Speaker 2: echoed from Secretary of Warte Hegseth as well, because he's
Speaker 2: of a similar generation. These are men and women that
Speaker 2: have fought largely in the Middle East and the you know,
Speaker 2: thousands of miles away, and this dynamic that you sometimes
Speaker 2: see play out on social media where people feel uncomfortable
Speaker 2: with the idea of doing this again, this war in Iran,
Speaker 2: boots on the ground, What is your take on that?
Speaker 2: You know, I know it's probably got to be an
Speaker 2: internal conflict, but you know, you've put your life on
Speaker 2: the line, you sacrifice greatly for this country. What do
Speaker 2: you make of the Iran war conflict or excursion however
Speaker 2: you want to describe it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, I think it's the best case
Speaker 9: scenario right now. I mean, look, it doesn't I haven't
Speaker 9: seen any troops on the ground. I mean, you know,
Speaker 9: we're able to go in and we've got Look, the
Speaker 9: best thing that we need is we need people who
Speaker 9: what you want fighting a war is people who don't
Speaker 9: want war, right, And that's what you have up there
Speaker 9: as a leadership right now, who are going to do
Speaker 9: whatever it takes to win. They're not negotiating, they're not
Speaker 9: sitting here, They're not like making false promises and drawing
Speaker 9: lines in order to that. They have no that they
Speaker 9: have no intention of backing. And so you know, look,
Speaker 9: I'm not going to get into the you know, does
Speaker 9: is it worth it?
Speaker 6: Is it not?
Speaker 9: I mean go back to which when's the last war
Speaker 9: that it was? Actually, you know, when's the last war
Speaker 9: that seemed to.
Speaker 3: Be worth it?
Speaker 9: Right? Uh?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 9: You know, my job is as somebody who loves this country,
Speaker 9: is to go do whatever the nation asked me to
Speaker 9: do and whatever it needs to do. What I will
Speaker 9: tell you is is the globe is no safer with
Speaker 9: a country like Iran being armed and being you know,
Speaker 9: being nuclear armed especially so you know, look, I think
Speaker 9: that I think that's the best case scenario as we're
Speaker 9: seeing right now. There's no boots on the ground there.
Speaker 9: You know, we're going in and we are doing everything
Speaker 9: we're saying we're going to do. We are you know it.
Speaker 9: We're setting them back years every single day, and uh,
Speaker 9: you know so, I think I think it's a Again,
Speaker 9: I have no opinion as to one way or the
Speaker 9: other if we should or we shouldn't, But I think
Speaker 9: that if we do, we should do it the way
Speaker 9: that we are doing it.
Speaker 2: If that makes sense, No, that that makes perfect sense. Blake,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have a follow up or not.
Speaker 3: No, I think it all. It all makes sense. I think.
Speaker 4: A generally positive and reassuring thing about the events of
Speaker 4: this past weekend is, I know we've had a lot
Speaker 4: of concern about the overall state of the US Armed Forces,
Speaker 4: and I think it's a good confirmation that we're still
Speaker 4: able to do very cool and very effective and very
Speaker 4: lethal stuff. And it's good confirmation of that whatever else
Speaker 4: we're concerned about the convoy. I think that's that's my
Speaker 4: big takeaway from this weekend. Is the US military is
Speaker 4: still a very formidable force, especially in those specialist operations.
Speaker 3: And I was very heartened to see that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, I mean look the same, right,
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, everybody's been concerned about like like exactly.
Speaker 9: I think it's a great point that Blake made, right,
Speaker 9: I mean, everybody's been concerned about, you know, the state
Speaker 9: of our military and things like that. And I think
Speaker 9: over the last few months we can say that our
Speaker 9: military is just fine. We're still the most lethal force
Speaker 9: on the face of the planet. And if you are
Speaker 9: an enemy of the United States of America or the
Speaker 9: American people, you're not not safe anywhere, especially with this
Speaker 9: type of leader who's willing to do whatever it takes
Speaker 9: to put America first. And you know, and I think
Speaker 9: as a service member, I think morale's high. I mean
Speaker 9: I think that morale is high right now across the board.
Speaker 9: I mean, you've got you've got Marines sitting on a
Speaker 9: ship out there, and look, I think.
Speaker 3: A group of Marines to.
Speaker 9: Come in there, and so you know, I think I
Speaker 9: think that it's good. I think this is I think
Speaker 9: that it's good. It's a good display of what our
Speaker 9: military is capable of and they're still the greatest men
Speaker 9: and women on the face of the planet.
Speaker 2: Dakota Meyer, thank you, sir, Thank you for your service.
Speaker 2: God bless you.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 2: America is entering its two hundred and fiftieth year, and
Speaker 2: the direction of this country is being decided right now
Speaker 2: in our culture and our economy, and who we choose
Speaker 2: to support matters more than ever. Most wireless companies don't
Speaker 2: care who you are or what you believe. They just
Speaker 2: want your money. Patriot Mobile is different. For more than
Speaker 2: twelve years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is
Speaker 2: worth fighting for, funding the Christian Conservative movement when others
Speaker 2: stayed silent. And here's the deal. You don't have to
Speaker 2: give up quality or service when you switch to Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 2: They deliver premium priority access on all three major US networks,
Speaker 2: so you'll get the same or better coverage than you
Speaker 2: have today. Think switching is a hassle, it isn't keep
Speaker 2: your number, keep your phone, or upgrade. Their one hundred
Speaker 2: percent US based support team can activate you in just minutes,
Speaker 2: still paying off a device. Patriot Mobile even offers a
Speaker 2: contract buyout. This is a defining year. We gotta work
Speaker 2: together to save our country. So go to Patriotmobile dot
Speaker 2: com slash Charlie or call nine seven to two Patriot
Speaker 2: and use the promo code Charlie for a free month
Speaker 2: of service. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash Charlie. Or call
Speaker 2: them at nine seven to two Patriot using the promo
Speaker 2: code Charlie and switch Today. We have a treat for
Speaker 2: you guys. That is Charlie Klants. He's the Clemson University
Speaker 2: TPUSA chapter president. Every time we do these, the inbox
Speaker 2: fills up. You guys love these segments. Hearing directly from
Speaker 2: the students. It's super super important to understand where the
Speaker 2: country's at, where our young people at, where we're obviously
Speaker 2: going to go in the future. So, without further ado,
Speaker 2: Charlie Klantz, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2: Absolutely listen. Clemson is one of those it's just a
Speaker 2: screaming chapter. You guys do an incredible job down there.
Speaker 2: The SEC chapters are like next level. Just tell us
Speaker 2: what it's like you know day to day in your chapter,
Speaker 2: the tabling what you guys are up to. Give the
Speaker 2: audience a thirty thousand foot view.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean really, since Charlie's died, our club went
Speaker 11: from a very you know, decent sized club to one
Speaker 11: of the biggest on campus. We went from around two
Speaker 11: hundred and fifty to over one thousand people at this
Speaker 11: point in our club.
Speaker 6: And Clemson, while it.
Speaker 11: Is a big university, it isn't quite the size of
Speaker 11: some of these other Southern schools. We're only about twenty
Speaker 11: five thousand undergrads as composed to you know, some of
Speaker 11: these others where they're going to sixty or seventy thousand.
Speaker 6: So we've been able to host a lot of cool speakers.
Speaker 11: Twenty twenty six is a big year in South Carolina politics,
Speaker 11: so we have to send seat up for grabs. Lindsey
Speaker 11: Graham is vulnerable to a primary, and then the governorship
Speaker 11: is also up. So we've been hosting a lot of
Speaker 11: different candidates wanted to hear what they've had to say,
Speaker 11: and we've you know, done a lot of different social events.
Speaker 11: We've hosted. Actually, for a Good Friday, we gave away
Speaker 11: over five hundred doughnuts. We're out there tabling on a
Speaker 11: weekly basis. Sometimes you know, we don't get the kindest words,
Speaker 11: but we don't let that.
Speaker 2: That's a south Folk Yeah. Well, and I, by the way,
Speaker 2: I have to I have a huge apology to make.
Speaker 2: I said sec. I meant acc. It's just it, you know, southern.
Speaker 2: It goes into that's a big mix up.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 2: I am a West Coast guy. I'm sorry. Yeah, acc.
Speaker 4: Anyway, lose us this, You're gonna lose uses in the
Speaker 4: next election.
Speaker 2: I know, well, it's gonna take us first. I know better.
Speaker 2: I know better. It's just a Southern thing. So listen,
Speaker 2: I want to get into we've been talking about this
Speaker 2: rescue mission in Iran, but let's go back a level.
Speaker 2: We have been warning that young people are ambivalent to
Speaker 2: very antagonistic about this operation in Iran. What are you
Speaker 2: seeing on campus, especially from the left, sure, but even
Speaker 2: amongst Trump supporters, students that voted for Trump in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, what's the vibe about Iran?
Speaker 11: A lot of people are following victims to black pilling.
Speaker 11: Quite frankly, I've noticed this especially with the people who are,
Speaker 11: you know, flirt with the alt right type things a
Speaker 11: little bit farther right than what is you know, conventional.
Speaker 11: But a lot of people are very afraid of a
Speaker 11: repeat of a rock, a repeat of the Forever Wars.
Speaker 6: And while that is reasonable.
Speaker 11: I also think that the people that we have in
Speaker 11: charge are much more competent than before. So I think
Speaker 11: that while there are a lot of people really concerned
Speaker 11: about a prolonged conflict, I think in the same manner
Speaker 11: of Venezuela, people are a fan of, you know, the
Speaker 11: leadership being taken out, but also are greatly afraid of
Speaker 11: something prolonged and something that could really be damaging for everybody.
Speaker 2: So Charlie, I wanna, yeah, go ahead, Yeah, I want.
Speaker 4: To expand on that a bit because it's I've been
Speaker 4: asked about this and I'm a little bit older.
Speaker 3: I'm in my thirties, so I remember the Iraq War
Speaker 3: when it began.
Speaker 4: But how do people about your age look at America's
Speaker 4: America's military adventures. I guess I'm trying to get inside
Speaker 4: the head of a young person who only grew up
Speaker 4: with those wars ongoing, but doesn't remember nine to eleven
Speaker 4: or the launching.
Speaker 3: Of those wars.
Speaker 4: Just what's the attitude that people bring towards military conflict.
Speaker 4: Do they have certain assumptions that go into it.
Speaker 11: I would say there's general distrust of American foreign policy,
Speaker 11: especially in the Middle East. Well, a lot of those
Speaker 11: people were generally very happy, including myself, with how Venezuela went,
Speaker 11: and very happy initially with how Iran's gone. They are,
Speaker 11: you know, generally skeptical of They've had a government that's
Speaker 11: led them on, that strained US for a billion or
Speaker 11: trillions of dollars at this point in the Middle East,
Speaker 11: and there's a lot of you know, weariness when it
Speaker 11: comes to overseas conflicts. I mean, you know this dates
Speaker 11: back to Vietnam and farther.
Speaker 4: But just so you say, distrust, is it just when
Speaker 4: you guys are in middle school, high school, you just
Speaker 4: remember these conflicts sort of being this.
Speaker 3: Background drag, this background problem.
Speaker 6: It was always on your shoulder.
Speaker 11: It was all we talk about, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Speaker 11: And you know, there's always there's goes to the past,
Speaker 11: and like I said, there's a lot more trust than
Speaker 11: there was before, but they you know, that still persists.
Speaker 2: So Charlie, I have a question, do you and maybe
Speaker 2: this isn't for you, So try and get inside the
Speaker 2: mind of maybe some of the other chapter members or
Speaker 2: just conservatives on campus. Does their patriotism hinge on their
Speaker 2: support or lack thereof, for this wrong conflict, meaning if
Speaker 2: they don't support it, they just feel there's black pilling.
Speaker 2: They hate America, they want to see it all burn,
Speaker 2: or they just they don't care anymore. They're throwing up there,
Speaker 2: opting out or or is it? Is it less dire
Speaker 2: than that?
Speaker 11: I think it's a lot less dire than that. I
Speaker 11: think that these people love their country regardless. These aren't
Speaker 11: people who hate America. These are our friends, These are
Speaker 11: our allies, but they are you know, they want the
Speaker 11: best for America, and in their opinion, they don't think
Speaker 11: a long term conflict in Iran would be best for America.
Speaker 11: And they want you know, they don't want American soldiers
Speaker 11: being shipped home in tombs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think that? Do you think that a
Speaker 2: lot of students, so you got a thousand members, which
Speaker 2: is tremendous, do you think a lot of them that
Speaker 2: voted for Trump or would have been supportive if they
Speaker 2: were of age, would have voted. Do you think that
Speaker 2: they are now not going to support President Trump?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 2: And maybe it's fifty to fifty sixty forty, what's your
Speaker 2: take on that?
Speaker 11: I've heard a couple of flirt with the idea. I
Speaker 11: think for the most part, I would say seventy five
Speaker 11: eighty ninety percent of our members are still content with
Speaker 11: their decision to vote for Trump, as is myself as
Speaker 11: a Pennsylvania voter. But you know, there's people who's say, oh,
Speaker 11: Kamala would have been better, you know, somewhat jokingly, but
Speaker 11: sometimes from these alt right people, they're very serious, and
Speaker 11: I just there's no way that they're nuts.
Speaker 3: That's uh.
Speaker 4: Most people, Charlie would be very frustrated with that, just
Speaker 4: to say the least. So, as you mentioned, there's a
Speaker 4: Senate race coming up in South Carolina. We had both
Speaker 4: candidates on for a sort of mini forum, but we
Speaker 4: thought we'd ask you, said, you guys have done events
Speaker 4: as well. Have you gotten a chance to see all
Speaker 4: of the candidates? And I guess we'd be interested in
Speaker 4: knowing how do how do young people feel about that race?
Speaker 4: Is there a person conservatives gravitate towards.
Speaker 2: Paul Dan Lynch.
Speaker 11: Yeah, people are deeply unsettled with Lindsay Graham. In our chapter,
Speaker 11: Paul Dance is very popular. Paul Dance has been a
Speaker 11: great guy to you know, me. He's been great to
Speaker 11: a lot of these other conservative clubs across the state.
Speaker 11: He's really resonated with the youth. But regardless of who's
Speaker 11: running against him, Lindsay Graham is the the antithesis of
Speaker 11: what young people want. You people are against this neocon
Speaker 11: foreign policy. This is kind of this phase of conservatism
Speaker 11: that really is no longer so that has been struck
Speaker 11: up by Trump, and Trump is and I think Lindsey
Speaker 11: Graham a lot, and this is echoed by me and
Speaker 11: you know many of my peers.
Speaker 6: Really Lindsey Graham needs to go.
Speaker 11: But Paul Dan's has been absolutely great to us, and
Speaker 11: we've had him a couple of times at this.
Speaker 2: Point, Yeah, we had we had Paul Dan's on the show.
Speaker 2: He just made some news actually for standing by Vish Burah.
Speaker 2: They were trying to get him fired. I think Lindsay
Speaker 2: Graham's campaign was I know Vish, he's a good dude.
Speaker 2: He's got some spicy takes. But I thought it was
Speaker 2: a good move by Paul Dance to stand by him. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: We're monitoring the press conference. President Trump seems to be
Speaker 2: describing the rescue mission right now. He did say that
Speaker 2: we could take out Iran in one night, which might
Speaker 2: be tomorrow night, which is a heck of a thing
Speaker 2: to say. We want Iran to be functional should a
Speaker 2: new leadership come into place, and we want to look
Speaker 2: out for the Iranian people. So a little bit of
Speaker 2: note of caution. But President Trump, he's exerting his leverage
Speaker 2: as he sees fit. Right now, we want to continue
Speaker 2: the conversation with Charlie Klants, Clemson University, TPSA chapter President
Speaker 2: Proud School in the acc all right, So if we're
Speaker 2: getting into this foreign policy debate, which I've said often
Speaker 2: is the most controversial, divisive issue within the coalition that
Speaker 2: won President Trump the White House in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: Charlie knew this, We know this. Let's talk about Israel.
Speaker 2: This topic of Israel. So you've mentioned kind of this
Speaker 2: alt right, this kind of black pilling that's going on.
Speaker 2: Is that infecting kind of what you would consider I
Speaker 2: don't know, you know, turning point kids are about as
Speaker 2: far right as you can go without going there. It's
Speaker 2: been my experience. But what is the vibe on Israel
Speaker 2: right now, especially as it relates to Iran.
Speaker 6: People are totally out on Israel.
Speaker 11: I think whether you know, some people, they're shifting opinions
Speaker 11: in terms of how our relationship should be with them.
Speaker 11: But people are, especially the young generation, are totally done
Speaker 11: with them as an ally. They are frustrated with Apak,
Speaker 11: they're frustrated with Many of them feel like we've been
Speaker 11: drug into a war now with Iran because of Israel.
Speaker 11: And while you can debate the truth of that, that's
Speaker 11: certainly the opinion within anybody who's under the age of thirty.
Speaker 2: Really that's the consensus basically, is what you're saying right
Speaker 2: or wrong, whether you agree or just But and that's
Speaker 2: within the turning Point chapter. Outside of the Turning Point chapter.
Speaker 2: When you say done with Israel, do you just mean
Speaker 2: re examining them as an ally? That do we not
Speaker 2: want them as an ally? What are kids saying specifically
Speaker 2: about them?
Speaker 11: I think that a lot of people feel that we
Speaker 11: aren't being treated properly by the Israeli government, specifically that
Speaker 11: and Yahoo. But that's leading a lot of people to
Speaker 11: question whether we should have a relationship with Israel at all.
Speaker 4: Do you feel that that How often is that boiling
Speaker 4: over into let's just say it, anti Semitism or kind
Speaker 4: of the the brainworm. I certainly see it where people
Speaker 4: they make everything about Israel, or they start getting obsessed
Speaker 4: with the finance class, you know, the various thing, the
Speaker 4: various tropes that come with sort of being obsessed with
Speaker 4: the Jews all of the time.
Speaker 11: Well, people are frustrated with neocons within the movement, people
Speaker 11: you know, like Bill Crystal, yeah, Lindsay Graham, and people
Speaker 11: are frustrated with them, and they feel that that has
Speaker 11: somewhat poisoned the movement to a degree. And while that
Speaker 11: kind of reflects more poorly, especially amongst the young people
Speaker 11: who are kind of out on that neocon foreign policy,
Speaker 11: a lot of people have, you know, there's a way
Speaker 11: to go about it without being you know, anti Semitic.
Speaker 11: I don't one hundred percent that, but there are certainly, obviously,
Speaker 11: you know, you're all right, people of the world who
Speaker 11: will always make it about you know, what they call
Speaker 11: like global Judaism or whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 11: But I think there's a way to examine our relationship
Speaker 11: with Israel without it being about every Jewish person or
Speaker 11: you know, or even just Jews as a whole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I completely agreed. I think Charlie agreed
Speaker 2: as well for what it's worth. I mean, we had
Speaker 2: lots of conversations about this, you know. Uh, Dennis Prager
Speaker 2: was one of Charlie's mentors, jewish Man, Conservative Jewish Men,
Speaker 2: brilliant mind, brilliant. Think we had him recently on the show.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to hear somebody complain about Jews,
Speaker 2: go talk to Dennis Prager. He'll complain about Jews more
Speaker 2: than anybody else. So yeah, I think there needs to
Speaker 2: be boundaries about you know, the way that we talk
Speaker 2: about these issues scapegoating it. You know, a people group
Speaker 2: that represents point zero two percent of the global population
Speaker 2: is controlling everything. I think it's a brain rot. It
Speaker 2: leads to destruction. It's but but listen, there is a
Speaker 2: third way. I don't know if you saw, but it's
Speaker 2: Student Action Summit in twenty twenty five in Florida. We
Speaker 2: had a whole roundtable discussion Charlie and I about listening
Speaker 2: to students' views on Israel, and the things they were
Speaker 2: sympathetic to is that they share intel with us, that
Speaker 2: we share a common adversary in radical Islam, and Islam
Speaker 2: is conquering Western civilization or has a desire to do so,
Speaker 2: and so I think I think there's an important sort
Speaker 2: of middle lane here that we could capture where you
Speaker 2: sort of say, hey, let's reassess should we fund Israel?
Speaker 2: You know, the twoe of four billion dollars on an
Speaker 2: annuity every year? What's how do we assess the relationship
Speaker 2: is in terms of how they're an ally, how do
Speaker 2: we work with them. We don't want to get drug indoars.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants that. And I think you're you're spot on
Speaker 2: to say that young people are the sentiments have changed.
Speaker 2: I really want our older audience to understand how young
Speaker 2: people are thinking about this topic because it's it's not
Speaker 2: going anywhere. We keep talking about it. So I don't
Speaker 2: know if you have any other thoughts on israe or
Speaker 2: we can move on because there's a lot of other
Speaker 2: topics here.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think, well, people definitely are fed up with
Speaker 11: APAC in particular, they see it as just bribery, and
Speaker 11: quite frankly, I have a similar view to that. I
Speaker 11: think that needs to be re examined. I think foreign
Speaker 11: eight as a whole needs to be re examined. But
Speaker 11: Israel being a you know, large beneficiary, especially you know,
Speaker 11: big name beneficiary of foreign aid. I think a lot
Speaker 11: of people are done with that, especially when you consider
Speaker 11: how they're foreign aid structured. They can kind of spend
Speaker 11: it however they want, as opposed to other benefits or
Speaker 11: beneficiaries of foreign aid. But I was supposed to be
Speaker 11: on that student panel with Charlie at Student Action Summon.
Speaker 11: Unfortunately I cannot go, and it seems like a lot
Speaker 11: of my peers shared the same view.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's safe. I mean, it is interesting.
Speaker 2: You know. The pushback is that we get more value.
Speaker 2: This is what the defenders of the relationship status quo
Speaker 2: would say, we get more value out of that four
Speaker 2: billion dollars in terms that they spend a lot of
Speaker 2: it on American military, so it kind of comes back
Speaker 2: into the system. We get intel sharing, they're the most
Speaker 2: reliable ally in the region. I just don't think those
Speaker 2: arguments are are working anymore with young people. They simply
Speaker 2: don't care. They want nation building here at home, they
Speaker 2: don't want nation building abroad. I think they're sick of
Speaker 2: foreign entanglements, foreign wars in Iran. You know, whether whether
Speaker 2: or not it was the right geopolitical national security decision
Speaker 2: or not, it certainly comes with a lot of political
Speaker 2: risk here at home, and I think most pronounced is
Speaker 2: going to be with young people, especially going into the midterms.
Speaker 2: And so that's my next question for you, Charlie. In
Speaker 2: the midterms, do you feel there's an enthusiasm to get
Speaker 2: out and vote? Is there an enthusiasm in South Carolina?
Speaker 2: Might be different because you have Paul Dan's, you have
Speaker 2: Lynch as alternatives of Lindsay Graham, But are you sensing
Speaker 2: that there's an enthusiasm to be civically engaged ahead of
Speaker 2: the midterms.
Speaker 6: It's difficult to.
Speaker 11: Say as a whole, but I think people are pretty
Speaker 11: thrilled on the state level about getting out there. But
Speaker 11: there are also people who are worried about, you know,
Speaker 11: the state of everything, the state of Iran. You know,
Speaker 11: I live next to a gas station. I look back
Speaker 11: and see the gas price every day, so.
Speaker 6: There are definitely those concerns. Well. I think on the
Speaker 6: state level, South Carolina does well.
Speaker 11: I think there are definitely reasons to be a little
Speaker 11: bit alarmed nationally, but I think the more recent polling
Speaker 11: looks better, which is always a good sign.
Speaker 2: Charlie. It's great to have you man and your perspective
Speaker 2: is super valuable here. Clemson is a rocking chapter. We're
Speaker 2: proud of you guys, and you know, no boots on
Speaker 2: the ground. I think we can be very clear about that.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of us are willing to give
Speaker 2: Trump a lot of leash because he hasn't gotten us
Speaker 2: into quagmires in Forever Wars. But we don't want to
Speaker 2: see this anymore. We don't want to see our men
Speaker 2: and women come back in coffins, like you said, and
Speaker 2: I think we can be loud and proud about that.
Speaker 2: We don't. We want to see this conflict resolve quickly.
Speaker 2: And I think you're articulating that very well. So good job, great,
Speaker 2: great work.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Before he ever stepped behind a microphone, Charlie understood something important.
Speaker 2: Leadership begins with learning. He didn't chase a diploma or
Speaker 2: a title. He chased truth. Through Hillsdale College's free online courses.
Speaker 2: He studied the great works of the Classics, the principles
Speaker 2: of the American Founding, and the life changing truths of
Speaker 2: the Bible. Those ideas didn't just inform him, they shaped
Speaker 2: his character, strengthened his convictions, and prepared him for the
Speaker 2: challenges ahead of. One of the courses he took was
Speaker 2: The Genesis Story, taught by Hillsdale professor doctor Justin Jackson.
Speaker 2: This free online course explores the relationship between God and man,
Speaker 2: what happens when that relationship is broken, and the path
Speaker 2: toward reconciliation. It's a real college course, rigorous, thoughtful, and
Speaker 2: accessible to anyone willing to learn. You can take the
Speaker 2: very same course completely free. Grow stronger in your faith,
Speaker 2: gain clarity about humanity and your place in the world.
Speaker 2: Prepare yourself for a life with courage and conviction. Visit
Speaker 2: Charlie for Hillsdale dot com to enroll today. That's Charlie
Speaker 2: for Hillsdale dot com. Learn Deeply, Lead Boldly, Carry it forward. Well,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's good to
Speaker 2: see you. You and I were cracking up over text
Speaker 2: because I just felt like you got yourself embroiled in
Speaker 2: one of those classic Charlie controversies where you said something
Speaker 2: like pretty based and then you got featured on the
Speaker 2: View and I was like, what are they doing? Like Isabelle,
Speaker 2: this is like great pr This is wonderful for Isabelle
Speaker 2: because you had the great take so I just we
Speaker 2: knew we had to get it at our schedules were
Speaker 2: not overlapping perfectly. So now we got you here. But
Speaker 2: I think it was so great, So I got to
Speaker 2: start with the clip and we'll get We'll have you
Speaker 2: fill in the blanks if there was anything left unsaid,
Speaker 2: SOT nine.
Speaker 7: You're not encouraging your children to grow up and have the.
Speaker 10: Courage to get married and have kids, more kids than
Speaker 10: they can.
Speaker 7: Afford before they think they're ready. It is high time
Speaker 7: to start.
Speaker 10: It is these choices like deleting our dating apps and
Speaker 10: putting birth control pills and saying I do at the
Speaker 10: altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that
Speaker 10: we will see.
Speaker 7: Save our country.
Speaker 2: You're such a shit about what are you trying to
Speaker 2: say here?
Speaker 7: Well, Sarah, right, yeah, fill in the well, Andrew.
Speaker 10: As you can see, that was a clip taken from Seapack,
Speaker 10: which happened a little over a week ago now, and
Speaker 10: I was asked to speak on a panel with four
Speaker 10: people total, all women, about the importance of the family
Speaker 10: as the center of American society. It's hardly a new topic,
Speaker 10: or particularly a controversial one in the conservative movement. Especially
Speaker 10: as you know, with Charlie refocusing conservatism really on that
Speaker 10: foundation of faith and family over these.
Speaker 7: Past few years for young people.
Speaker 10: That was the last answer that I gave on a
Speaker 10: thirty minute panel to the last question asking me to
Speaker 10: give a message to the audience of advice for how
Speaker 10: to save American culture. If you've ever been to Sea Pack,
Speaker 10: you'll probably know that the average age in the audience
Speaker 10: is a little bit older than myself.
Speaker 7: So I was speaking to people my parents' age and.
Speaker 10: Saying, hey, you need to tell your adult children the
Speaker 10: real way we're going to save our country is to
Speaker 10: have the courage to fall in love and get married.
Speaker 10: I had no idea this was going to be such
Speaker 10: a controversy across our country. I certainly never thought of
Speaker 10: you would be picking it up for an entire segment.
Speaker 10: But a week ago today logged on after receiving a
Speaker 10: d M from a reporter asking me to comment on
Speaker 10: what the view had to say, and learned the ladies
Speaker 10: of the left are so deeply offended by the idea
Speaker 10: of having children. If you remotely suggest this, good luck
Speaker 10: to you, you'll be smeared all over national television.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they they said, that you were wrapping up
Speaker 2: a woman's worth into her ovaries, which you know is
Speaker 2: a take ten.
Speaker 7: What what is she?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: The what?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 12: My ultimate beef with this is that it wraps a
Speaker 12: woman's worth up in her ovarias. The fact that we
Speaker 12: keep putting this on women that they're only worth in society, politics,
Speaker 12: policies is if they produce a baby or have a
Speaker 12: husband is the stupidest, most old fashioned thing. We have
Speaker 12: come too far.
Speaker 13: Theres the call to responsibility for the men who make
Speaker 13: who help make these children. I am I don't know
Speaker 13: why it's always people lecturing women what they have to
Speaker 13: do online. If you're not paying my bills, you don't
Speaker 13: have to tell me what I do with my unimation.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Anna Navarro is probably like, please don't procreate
Speaker 2: if you're If you're like that, we're not suggesting you
Speaker 2: should procreate. What do you take about this this whole
Speaker 2: because it kind of it gives way to a larger
Speaker 2: discussion about a woman's role in society Right now? I
Speaker 2: would think that you know, you you do a podcast,
Speaker 2: but that gives you a lot of leeway and flexibility
Speaker 2: with your schedule to be basically a stay at home
Speaker 2: mom who does work, obviously, but explain this dynamic for
Speaker 2: people at home that that don't understand the controversy.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, first of all, just address some of those
Speaker 10: comments right there, because every time I hear this clip
Speaker 10: replayed over and over, the more frustrated I get. First
Speaker 10: of all, obviously never said a woman's only worth is
Speaker 10: wrapped up in reproductive system. But I do think that
Speaker 10: we treat women and pregnancy the most beautiful thing that
Speaker 10: women get to experience, the only time that humanity is
Speaker 10: invited into creating new life right alongside God. We treat
Speaker 10: this as something like a disability or something that's going
Speaker 10: to destroy the rest of your life.
Speaker 7: It's going to maybe kill you.
Speaker 10: That's certainly how it's presented on TikTok to the women
Speaker 10: of my generation, instead of what it really is, and
Speaker 10: that's a superpower. Like nothing would make me happier having
Speaker 10: experienced pregnancy, childbirth, and raising my daughter through her first
Speaker 10: year of life this last year, Nothing would make me
Speaker 10: happier than seeing more women encouraged to embrace this joy,
Speaker 10: this purpose and fulfillment that is unlike anything else that
Speaker 10: humanity really has to offer.
Speaker 7: It's not a disability, it's a superpower.
Speaker 10: That said, I think it's been funny this last week
Speaker 10: to see how many people are upset with me for
Speaker 10: what I had to say from various angles. For some,
Speaker 10: I'm this extreme traad wife that's barefoot and pregnant in
Speaker 10: the kitchen, and how dare I tell working women.
Speaker 2: By the way, you there's nothing wrong with that you
Speaker 2: fare pregnant in the kitchen. Blake is looking for one
Speaker 2: of those right now, so you have resumes, send them
Speaker 2: in at freedom at Charliekirk dot com. We should just
Speaker 2: we need to have a barefoot and pregnant email.
Speaker 10: Please handle in barefoot and pregnant at Charliekirk dot com
Speaker 10: if you.
Speaker 2: If you graduated from one of the illustrious Ivy League
Speaker 2: school's bonus bonus points.
Speaker 4: For me, it needs a history nerd to share hist Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's they don't need they don't need to share it.
Speaker 3: They just have to tolerate it fair enough.
Speaker 10: But anyway, so for some it's really this like you're
Speaker 10: an extreme trad wife and you're saying women are never
Speaker 10: allowed to work. And then on the other flip side
Speaker 10: of things, people look at me and say Oh my gosh,
Speaker 10: this woman is a secret covert feminist because she has
Speaker 10: a full time job and yet now she's also telling
Speaker 10: people to have children. How dare she say that people
Speaker 10: can balance both? And nobody ultimately will be.
Speaker 7: Happy with this?
Speaker 10: But I really do think that we are under selling
Speaker 10: women's capacity for greatness so much in the modern discourse
Speaker 10: about motherhood is having both extremely difficult. Yes, and there
Speaker 10: will be sacrifices that have to be made along the
Speaker 10: way to prioritize your family, which of course is the
Speaker 10: most important thing, far more important to your.
Speaker 7: Life than a paycheck.
Speaker 10: But to tell women that it's impossible for them when
Speaker 10: they're facing pregnancy in their life to graduate from college,
Speaker 10: or to start their own business, or to be a
Speaker 10: successful attorney or politician or doctor, that's just not true objectively,
Speaker 10: And I think we should be speaking life into this
Speaker 10: next generation of women the same way that Charlie spoke
Speaker 10: so much life into my family and my husband and
Speaker 10: I that it takes a great team to raise a
Speaker 10: beautiful family, but it's possible, and it's worthy for saving
Speaker 10: society for the next generation.
Speaker 4: Not just possible, but literally the future will only belong
Speaker 4: to the people who show up for it, and I
Speaker 4: just find it bizarre that you've encountered this sort of hostility.
Speaker 4: And you try to get inside the head of the
Speaker 4: ladies at the View or wherever, and you ask, what
Speaker 4: do they envision society looking like in fifty years or
Speaker 4: a hunter years or a thousand years if they're going
Speaker 4: to have this attitude that motherhood and parenting and families
Speaker 4: are this optional lifestyle accessory that apparently most people don't
Speaker 4: need to go for.
Speaker 10: It's a great question and honestly worth asking, because every
Speaker 10: single one of the women sitting around that table last
Speaker 10: week smearing me for being a mom and encouraging other.
Speaker 7: Gen Z women to become moms is a mother themselves.
Speaker 10: They have children, and they have these beautiful, thriving careers
Speaker 10: where they get to sit on multimillion dollars dutiful that's
Speaker 10: in New York, Just beautiful?
Speaker 2: Is it adjittive? I'm not sure I would use for it,
Speaker 2: but that's fine. They have careers, and maybe it's an
Speaker 2: argument against women having careers. Do you ever think of that,
Speaker 2: Ladies of the View? Maybe yair enough, Maybe you're living
Speaker 2: embodiment against it. So I do want to play you
Speaker 2: referenced Charlie. So let's let's this is his show, it
Speaker 2: will always be his show, not twenty.
Speaker 1: Two children is more important than having a good career.
Speaker 3: I have two kids.
Speaker 1: I also have an amazingly blessed career. Our podcast is
Speaker 1: doing great, but my kids matter way more than how
Speaker 1: many social media followers that I have. And I would
Speaker 1: also tell young ladies you can always go back to
Speaker 1: your career later, that there is a window where you
Speaker 1: primarily should pursue marriage and having children, and that is
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. This is not about shaming, it's not
Speaker 1: about ridiculing, it's not about moralizing. It's about lifting up
Speaker 1: what is beautiful. And by the way, we look at
Speaker 1: the mental health data, young women are not okay. Half
Speaker 1: that is right, half of liberal white women say that
Speaker 1: they have some form of mental health issue that has
Speaker 1: been diagnosed by a doctor. What is the number one
Speaker 1: thing that mental health professionals will tell you when it
Speaker 1: comes to mental health issues. Loneliness does not help. So
Speaker 1: maybe we should solve the loneliest epidemic by encouraging young
Speaker 1: ladies to get married and have children. It's good for them,
Speaker 1: it's good for America, and it's good for our future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is what I want to get into, Isabelle,
Speaker 2: And guess kind of why I reference your particular career.
Speaker 2: I do think there are some careers that lend themselves
Speaker 2: well to still being a mom and not. But when
Speaker 2: we kind of imagine the average let's say middle management
Speaker 2: in a cubicle, like, that's really hard to still be
Speaker 2: raising your kids. And when we look at the life
Speaker 2: cycle of a mom, you graduate, you're not married. You're
Speaker 2: not married yet, right, you're probably looking for a career.
Speaker 2: You start a career, but then you have a family, right,
Speaker 2: and there's this window and it's so short when you
Speaker 2: start having families. I mean, I've got three little kids
Speaker 2: that the window and I can already tell from my
Speaker 2: eight year old daughter that it's like it's such a
Speaker 2: short window when they're really little and really reliant on
Speaker 2: you and when they need you around all the time.
Speaker 2: And I just think, listen, if it's a five year gap,
Speaker 2: if it's a ten year gap, what could be more
Speaker 2: important and valuable than a mom devoting her life to
Speaker 2: raising her children and her husband children. I want to
Speaker 2: get into that because this seems to be where all
Speaker 2: of this goes to is this work life balance situation.
Speaker 2: There's a certain wing of the conservative movement that's like, listen,
Speaker 2: if you're not encouraging women to stay at home and
Speaker 2: raise their children, you're not conservative at all. And then
Speaker 2: there's this other wing, you know, got I had kind
Speaker 2: of a back and forth Leasa Booth actually from Fox
Speaker 2: New where I guess she doesn't have kids, and she
Speaker 2: was saying that that POV is turning off women in
Speaker 2: the conservative movement. So how do we strike a balance
Speaker 2: here that actually resembles pragmatism, the truth lived experience.
Speaker 10: I think that's an important nuance to your question about
Speaker 10: turning off or turning on women in the conservative movement,
Speaker 10: because truly, in twenty twenty six, it is so so
Speaker 10: important for us to be strategic in how we are
Speaker 10: messaging to young women. Young men of my generation have
Speaker 10: been incredibly privileged to have the voices of Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 10: and I'm thinking of other men like Brandon Tatum and
Speaker 10: Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, Jordan Peterson, people who have
Speaker 10: been feeding into masculinity and reviving God given manhood for
Speaker 10: the last several years, really decade or so. In culture,
Speaker 10: women have yet to really have that upswing, and you're
Speaker 10: watching the cultural attack on womanhood get so much stronger
Speaker 10: and so much louder than it ever was.
Speaker 7: Calling masculinity toxic for us.
Speaker 10: It's erasing womanhood altogether, calling you a birthing person, trying
Speaker 10: to outsource pregnancy to birth robots they're currently making in China,
Speaker 10: making new babies in peatree dishes, in laboratories, in startup
Speaker 10: companies in San Francisco, and everything else. I mean, just
Speaker 10: the most dystopian stuff you've ever heard of, ironically from
Speaker 10: the same people who often scream at you about The
Speaker 10: Handmaid's Tale as a conservative. And so I think there's
Speaker 10: this confusion among young women in society. What is my
Speaker 10: life supposed to look like? Am I supposed to embrace
Speaker 10: the new wave of this girl boss thing where the
Speaker 10: only thing that matters is my career and I'm essentially
Speaker 10: mocked and ridiculed if I even want to get.
Speaker 7: Married or have kids.
Speaker 10: Or is there a different path that I may take
Speaker 10: where either I can choose to be a stay at
Speaker 10: home mom or I can work as a mom, But
Speaker 10: either way, my family is the more central part of
Speaker 10: my identity. My faith in my family will ultimately matter
Speaker 10: so much more than my computer screen and my cubicle
Speaker 10: if the right can learn how to message effectively. In
Speaker 10: that regard, I think we have nothing but opportunity to
Speaker 10: connect with young women who of course instinctually want to
Speaker 10: commit their life to a beautiful man who loves them
Speaker 10: and lays his life down for them for the rest
Speaker 10: of their life in marriage, and of course wants to
Speaker 10: bring new life into the world.
Speaker 7: We have a.
Speaker 10: Natural motherhood instinct that society is trying to get us
Speaker 10: to ignore. And you saw it on full display with
Speaker 10: the view last week, essentially saying if you even want kids,
Speaker 10: that's the wrong decision, and you're only putting women back
Speaker 10: into a box of their ovaries in the past.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just want to revisit this idea. And
Speaker 2: I'd love Blake's POV as somebody that's kind of not
Speaker 2: in this cycle yet, in the season of his life yet.
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you there is something well Blake, the
Speaker 2: ouch god trying to do it in a nice way.
Speaker 2: Paul is always persecuted over here, listen, Blake's Blake's gonna
Speaker 2: find his special someone. I believe it. So here's the deal.
Speaker 2: I just again whether it's five years or ten years,
Speaker 2: this season of a woman and a mother's life where
Speaker 2: if they can find a way for her to stay
Speaker 2: home and be with the kids full time, I just
Speaker 2: I really want to lift that up as as an ideal.
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen for everybody, whether finances precluded,
Speaker 2: whether you know what, other situations, but to have it
Speaker 2: as an ideal, I think is a beautiful thing. And
Speaker 2: you're somebody that, like I said, you have a if
Speaker 2: you can get a situation where you can kind of
Speaker 2: work from home and you can make that work and
Speaker 2: be full time with your kids. Still, I think that's
Speaker 2: great too. I'm there's not a one size fits all,
Speaker 2: but I do think lifting up an ideal is really
Speaker 2: I think it's so precious because that clip Charlie said,
Speaker 2: it's beautiful, it's God given. It's amazing thing for this
Speaker 2: season where they're so reliant on you, and it's the
Speaker 2: formative years where so much of the rest of their
Speaker 2: life is going to be shaped. I have zero problem
Speaker 2: lifting that up as the ideal because I think that
Speaker 2: your kids will be blessed, your marriage will be blessed.
Speaker 2: I think the mother will be blessed. And you can
Speaker 2: always go back to work. You can always go back
Speaker 2: to your career if you are able and blessed like
Speaker 2: you to have a career where you can kind of
Speaker 2: find a fusion of the two. I think that's amazing too.
Speaker 2: But anyways, I maybe i'm as a man, I'm man's blaming,
Speaker 2: but that's how I feel about it. Honestly. I don't know,
Speaker 2: Blake if that resonated at all or not, but it.
Speaker 4: All makes sense. It all makes sense to me, I
Speaker 4: think it. In the end, it's a question of values.
Speaker 4: We talk a lot about how to encourage families, and
Speaker 4: I think the focus often ends up just, oh, try
Speaker 4: to throw them money for more accessible daycare or something.
Speaker 4: And what you really need to do is you need
Speaker 4: to win the fight on values. You need to sell
Speaker 4: the narrative that having children is a core part of
Speaker 4: certainly married life and ideally almost everyone's life, and it's
Speaker 4: just something you do because that is what is valuable
Speaker 4: to society for civilization and for your own flourishing. And
Speaker 4: we just have to sell that at all times. And
Speaker 4: once you make that a core thing that you do
Speaker 4: and it's not just a lifestyle choice, that is what
Speaker 4: drives it to happen the most, and we've seen it
Speaker 4: fade away so much because we've just turned it into
Speaker 4: an accessory, a lifestyle choice, because if it's just a choice,
Speaker 4: it's one a lot of people won't make because it's
Speaker 4: a no or difficult.
Speaker 2: It's inexpensive. Is about final forty five seconds to you
Speaker 2: take us away here?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would just add that we are missing so
Speaker 10: much purpose in our lives right now, especially as a generation,
Speaker 10: and in the midst of trying to ask who am
Speaker 10: I and what am I doing here, we're also facing
Speaker 10: the greatest mental health crisis the world has ever seen.
Speaker 10: Married moms under thirty five years old are three times
Speaker 10: happier than their unmarried, childless counterparts.
Speaker 7: And there's something to that, because it's.
Speaker 10: A reason to jump out of bed in the morning
Speaker 10: and to realize our lives are not supposed to be
Speaker 10: just about ourselves in this malignant narcissism. We find real
Speaker 10: meaning and purpose in serving and loving others, and there's
Speaker 10: no more.
Speaker 7: Beautiful way to do that than in your family.
Speaker 10: So I reiterate, ladies of the view, get married, have kids,
Speaker 10: more kids than you think you're ready for it, more
Speaker 10: than you think you can afford.
Speaker 2: Amen well said, get married, have babies. It's pretty simple.
Speaker 2: We'll see you guys tomorrow. Thank you, Isabee.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
