1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point, you say high school chapter.

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: up and become an activist. I gave my life to

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: made in my life, and I encourage you to do

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: the same.

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: Here I am Lord, Use me.

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:57,400

Speaker 3: right before we get into questions, there is a new

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: angle of the shooting in Minneapolis.

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: Alpha News.

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: We had Liz Colin on the show on Monday, So

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: Alpha News they got a new angle of that. We're

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: gonna pull that up and just second team is working

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: on it. It's very clear in this angle apparently that

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: he was the ice agent was hit by the Honda pilot.

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: So that is a new development. We'll get that in

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: just a second.

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: We're gonna start this hour again, members dot Charliekirk dot

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: com with Anthony. Anthony, please unmute yourself.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: What's your question? Hey guys, A happy New Year, Happy

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: New Year.

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: So my question is this, So we see all these

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: ice raids and you know, going on in Minneapolis, New York,

46
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: all across the country, and we see all the protesters,

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: and we see how local and state and even federal

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 4: Democrat politicians are talking like we hear the mayor and

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: the governor of Minnesota, Minneapolis say you must protest whatever

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 4: and cause problems. Is there any Democrat at federal, state

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: or local levels that may say, hey, we need to

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: start coming to our senses and we might have to

53
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: rethink this whole protesting in this because it's now it's

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: starting to get out of hand. Is there any Democrat

55
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: politician willing to do that? Or are they all just

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: scared spineless communists?

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Fetterman, I guess, yeah, that was good. That was my

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: mind went to Fetterman. I feel like, you know, he's

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: the only.

60
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: One that really is He's the only one that says it.

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: But I don't want to say just anybody else.

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: What's interesting one?

63
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 5: I think maybe there's a reason. One what stood out

64
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 5: to me was right, you always have these dynamics after

65
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 5: an election they lost bad. Last year, you had this

66
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 5: almost abortive move towards guys. We may have let this

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 5: get out of control. We need to go another direction.

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: I think was it Seth Moulton who had that, Yeah,

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: he was trying to get them to back off on

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: the trans issue, and they just they just lit him

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 5: up about it. And I think you saw Gavin Newsom

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: was starting to take gestures in that direction in his

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 5: interview with Charlie and they blew up at him really badly.

74
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: And I don't think he's gone further on that on

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,279
Speaker 5: that one either, But certainly on this anti ice radicalism,

76
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: I really only see a one way ratchet about this,

77
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: at least from lawmakers. And I don't know how much

78
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: of that is deliberate recklessness or deliberate extremism, and how

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: much of that is they're just afraid of getting lit

80
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: up themselves, or they don't even fully what they're doing,

81
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: Like Tim Walls as an example. Tim Walls is just stupid.

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: Tim Walls is dumb. And so when Walls says we're

83
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: at war with the federal government. I saw that getting

84
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: shared yesterday. I don't think he was literally doing a

85
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: whole secessionist I'm going to go with the war of

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: federal government. I think he was just using dumb words

87
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: because he doesn't recognize the sort of situation he's in.

88
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the implication of saying something like we're war,

89
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: I kind of interpreted that clip the same way. I

90
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: will say, you know, to Blake's point, there was this

91
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: debate of which way the Democrat Party was going to turn.

92
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: Were they going to be moderating their positions or were

93
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: they going to be radicalizing their positions. And it's very

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: clear a year into the president President Trump's second term

95
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: that they are radicalizing their positions at every turn, and

96
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: that the far left flank of the Democrat Party controls

97
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: that party. That's why Mom Donnie is ascendant. That's why

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: you see Democrat socialist mayors in Seattle, Chicago.

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: New York.

100
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: So, for all intents and purposes, Jacob Fray is also

101
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: one of these people in Minneapolis, right, and they are

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: controlling the party, and if you step out of line,

103
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: you're going to take a lot of guff. And I

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: will say, you know, when John Fetterman started speaking sense,

105
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 3: which was one of the largest ironies of recent.

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 5: Maybe a little uncomfortable because you don't want that sense

107
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: like ah did. He did, like the brain damage from

108
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: his stroke actually covative, right, you want brain damage to

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: make you dumb or not smarter.

110
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: But in his case, I like to think of it.

111
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: As he was healing, he became more sensible. So, but

112
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: the point is John Fetterman a bunch of his staff left,

113
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: a bunch of I mean, he took a lot of

114
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: internal pushback that you don't hear a lot about, but

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: he kind of took it on the chin and kept

116
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: going forward. So kudos to him. And he's the last

117
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: sort of prominent sensible democrat out there that is socially

118
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: I would say probably you know left, I think economically left,

119
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: but he's still a patriot. And I think that's the

120
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: dividing line. We've said it on the show before that

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: you're either a movement that loves the country, loves what

122
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: it was founded on, loves our heritage, loves our culture

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: and has pride in it, or you are somebody that

124
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: ultimately thinks America is somewhat illegitimate or all the way illegitimate,

125
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: or it's all the way systemically a racist and bigoted

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: and oppressive. You know that that is the dividing line.

127
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: It's really some of the some of the people that

128
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: you would consider conservative now aren't really even conservative. They

129
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: are sort of just you know, not woke. I guess

130
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 3: they're team sanity. They believe in civilization still, they believe

131
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: in law and order, And that's about the dividing line.

132
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 5: It's a thing that is Frankly, it's made it tough

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: to always articulate a conservative agenda on things because it

134
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: often is just defined by people who don't like the left,

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 5: at least in America. And also, I'll be frank I

136
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: would talk to Charlie about this. Sometimes the issue the

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: right has is they're sort of low self esteem, if

138
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 5: that makes sense. I don't know what the right term

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 5: for it would be, but they are very eager to

140
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: welcome people into their coalition, like if a celebrity shouts

141
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 5: us out, that sort of thing, and that can actually

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 5: it can make it a little too easy for you

143
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: to get taken over by by newcomers more or less.

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, I think it's great to welcome newcomers,

145
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: but you shouldn't have them, you know, teaching the class, right,

146
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: they should be they should be amongst the pupils, in

147
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: the in the in the in the desks, not at

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: the front of the classroom. So I think that's the

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: dividing line. You just have to make sure that the

150
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: people that are leading your movement have actually been tried,

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: tested and found true real believers, right, So, Anthony, I

152
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: don't know if that answers your question, but it does.

153
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: It does appear to be, you know, the fact that

154
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: we can't think of anybody probably not a good sign.

155
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: No, I don't know.

156
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: No, I agree, and I couldn't think of anybody in

157
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: it just because I'll be honest. There was a protest

158
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: at the border patrol in a town or two over

159
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: from me and last night.

160
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, where you based? Rochester, New York is the location?

161
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Yeah, it's it's interesting because you know,

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: the far left of the Democrat Party is definitely in control,

163
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: and I don't really see right.

164
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny.

165
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: I got into a little bit of a Twitter debate

166
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: with somebody that was like, you know, far left and

167
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: Democrats are two different things, and it's like, okay, I guess,

168
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: but you know who's really wielding the power. I'm not

169
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: sure how true that is anymore. But anyways, we thank

170
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: you as always, Anthony. Great to hear from you. We've

171
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: got ian Ian unmeet yourself. You are up next on

172
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: the Charlie Kirk Show. What's your question?

173
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: Hi, guys, how you doing doing well? Thank you? How

174
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: much yourself I'm doing well.

175
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 6: Thank you for asking. I was down an amfest, so

176
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 6: it was great seeing you guys again.

177
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: Awesome break.

178
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, but my question is, how do we address the

179
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 6: difference of perspective on this Minnesota woman being shot? It's

180
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 6: I just feel like both sides are seeing kind of

181
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 6: what they want to see. To an extent, I think

182
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 6: there is an objective truth on what happened, but it's

183
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 6: causing so much division. How how can we as a

184
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: country come together and move forward because I don't want

185
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 6: this to become another George Floyd incident. And if we

186
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 6: could also touch on the difference of reactions from Charlie

187
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: Kirk's assassination recently to this Minnesota woman. You know they're

188
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 6: not holding a prayer vigil and you know coming together.

189
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 6: So that's just my two cents on it.

190
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

191
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: Well, and Anthony, I love the question because you're giving

192
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: me the opportunity. I want to play this new angle.

193
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: I have not seen it yet. This is three eighty six,

194
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: a new angle. I believe it's the police bodycam or the.

195
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 5: Lost cell phone footage on Alpha News, but it does

196
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: it looks like it could be bodycam shortage.

197
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Three eighty six it's a forty five second clip three

198
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: eighty six. That's okay.

199
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 7: We don't care your plates every morning, just so you

200
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 7: know it don't.

201
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 6: Be the same plate when you come talk to us later.

202
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: That's fine. You have citizens form. You want to come

203
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: at us. You want to come at us.

204
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 8: I say, go get yourself some lunch, big boy.

205
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: No, go ahead, nor get out of the car. Alchemy,

206
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: and that happened quick.

207
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: President Trump walked into a catch twenty two when taking office,

208
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: do nothing in America would be staring at a ticking

209
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future. Instead,

210
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train

211
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: and buy us some time. But the effects of past

212
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: administration spending are still working through the system, and experts

213
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: predict dramatic price increases and market uncertainty. Trump is doing

214
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting

215
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: your retirement savings is ultimately up to you, and that's

216
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold

217
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: and silver. Preserve gold is our go to choice here

218

220
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000

Speaker 3: one K now hear from Charlie in his.

Speaker 3: Get their free Wealth Protection Guide now by texting Charlie

00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: for America's future. Now it's your term to help protect yours.

228
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: All right, Ian, we're continue with you. We played that

229
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: image that we're that alternate angle. If you guys want

230
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: to roll that as b roll while we're talking about this.

231
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: I here's my hope.

232
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: Ian.

233
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: I think politically the left is captured by the activist base.

234
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any getting around that, right. So

235
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: politically they all have to, you know, tow the party

236
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 3: line and say this is the Castapo, this is the Nazis,

237
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: and these are mass vigilante thug and they're illegitimate police

238
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: and they're not real, they're fake police, like the Philly

239
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: sheriff said. But I do believe that mass deportations are popular.

240
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: I believe that enforcing immigration laws are popular, and I

241
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: think that ultimately you just have to press through the

242
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: activist class.

243
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: You just have to bowl through this.

244
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: You have to keep going because this is a popular

245
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: political movement, and yeah, there's going to be protests, there's

246
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: gonna be uprisings. I don't think you can find political

247
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 3: common cause with these people. You just have to tell

248
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: them the way it's gonna be. Civilization will win, lawn

249
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: order will win, and ultimately you're gonna have to you

250
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: defeat them by winning. And I just think that it's

251
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: gotten so hardened into our silos with the activist base

252
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: the left, that that's just the only way through. I

253
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: like to believe that the there is still a normal

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: middle of this country that's more busy, worried about the

255
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: football game and about their golf outings on Saturday, and

256
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: they kind of they're kind of checked out of the

257
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: normal back and forth and they just know that, hey,

258
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 3: we have laws, you gotta follow them. So that's my

259
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: take on it, that's my hope is that we do

260
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: have sort of still a rational center of the country.

261
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: We last hour, we had Ken Calvert from California. You know,

262
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: even in California voter id lot. Despite all the back

263
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: and forth in the vitriol and the hyperbole from the

264
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: left about it being racist or bigoted or whatever is

265
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: still sixty eight to seventy one percent popular in the

266
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 3: state of California.

267
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 2: So go figure. I don't know, Blake, if you have

268
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: anything you want to ask.

269
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: So the Qunya, the question was what can we do

270
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: to bring the country together? And the truth is there's

271
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 5: not an easy answer to that, because the idea of

272
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 5: a strong united core in America has been greatly diluted

273
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: by a lot of changes in America, by demographic change.

274
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 5: So there's not nearly the same sense of America as

275
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 5: a shared country going back a great distance a lot

276
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 5: of people. If half the country doesn't even trace its

277
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 5: heritage back to World War Two, we could be at

278
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 5: that point sooner rather than later. There's not that same

279
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 5: sense of a shared society, and especially when there's been

280
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 5: a long term political project to delegitimize the country itself

281
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: and by extension, it's people. So it's very common to

282
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 5: just basically take an attitude of total hate and delegitimization

283
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 5: to Americans who are in Middle America, who are in

284
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 5: the South, all of that, and it just it's very

285
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: hard to have something come together and you know a

286
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: lot of people have asked us to respond to that

287
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 5: Jasmine Crockett tape where she was saying, oh, how did

288
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 5: we react after charlie shooting? I know how they reacted.

289
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: A guy on his balcony across the street from us

290
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: played another one bites the dust while people were trying

291
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: to pray. I don't know how you unite the country

292
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: with people like that. And the guy works for the ACLU,

293
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: and I think at some point you have to say,

294
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 5: we have to make sure we stand for something. It

295
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 5: has to be an appealing moral message to people, and

296
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 5: you have to hope that you can win people over

297
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: to that and that can become a national core that

298
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: people can unit around. I think that is what Charlie

299
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: was fighting for. What Charlie was doing, he was planting

300
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: the seeds for a future possibly decades hence the seeds

301
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 5: of patriotism, the seeds of Christian faith, something that could

302
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 5: appeal to a large number of people, including young people,

303
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 5: and you hope the strength of that moral message is

304
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 5: something that will win the day. But very truthfully, I

305
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 5: don't see an easy way to get unity with people

306
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 5: who are saying.

307
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: Kill ice officers.

308
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: I don't see how you can easily have unity with

309
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 5: people who celebrate the murder of Charlie. I don't see

310
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 5: how you can easily have unity of people who say

311
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: the United States is fundamentally an illegitimate country and society.

312
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 5: And I know that's a tough answer to give, but

313
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 5: it's what I'm feeling.

314
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think you're right. I think I was

315
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: really well, said Blake. And I know I've reflected a

316
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: lot on what Charlie was actually doing a lot and

317
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: what you're I think one thousand percent right that he

318
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: was actually selling an image of America and a vision

319
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: of America that was palatable to the to the broad core,

320
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: to that seventy five percent in the middle right, probably

321
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: the middle right. But there was a there was a

322
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: huge audience for this, and we saw it with the

323
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: billions and billions of views he was reclaiming. It was like, so,

324
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: if you sort of think of what America is, it's

325
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: an unbroken chain of generations that passes on the American dream,

326
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: the belief in the experiment of America, the American Republic,

327
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: from generation to generation. And Charlie noticed that that the

328
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: chain was getting broken with gen Z Millennials, in gen

329
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: Z and he went out there and he he put

330
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: those chain links back together.

331
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, before we move on, I think we should actually

332
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: to get at the difficulty here. We should A lot

333
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: of people. This is going ultra viral. This clip, No,

334
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 5: this clip of the woman who went to the renee

335
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 5: good and it thought it was immoral. Let's play three.

336
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 9: So I mean, I'm just walking here. I'm kind of

337
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 9: just stay aside because I got a I was like,

338
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's the right thing to do.

339
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 9: It feels kind of wrong being here handsome way. I

340
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 9: don't know why. Yeah, I don't know.

341
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 5: I don't know.

342
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 9: Like I mean, part of it is being like a

343
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 9: white woman that I'm privileged, and I have a lot

344
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 9: of privilege. So I feel like white tears are not

345
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 9: always something that's helpful or necessary. When black and brown

346
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 9: people have been experiencing this for a long time. This

347
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 9: isn't new for them, and so I don't know if

348
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 9: that makes any sense.

349
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: It's very difficult to unite, to achieve unity with a

350
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 5: person whose thought process is that cooked. And I feel

351
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 5: bad for her because she's been taught to hate herself.

352
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 5: She badly hates herself. She needs help. She needs love, frankly,

353
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 5: but it is very difficult.

354
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: It's the same thing where they say men can't have

355
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: an opinion about abortion or whatever. It's like she's she

356
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: feels like her opinion is illegitimate. I mean, it's a

357
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: bad opinion, but you know it's.

358
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 5: She's her opinions, but she'll still go on television agency.

359
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: To that extent is truly truly baffling. All right, And

360
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: did you have a follow up question?

361
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 6: What I want to know is what made Charlie just

362
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 6: such a good coalition builder from what you guys saw,

363
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 6: because I've been trying to talk to people just for

364
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 6: TPUSA faith Side, and man, there's just a lot of

365
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 6: roadblocks that come up, and I'm just it's like it

366
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 6: almost gets discouraging.

367
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: So what kind of roadblocks are you?

368
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 6: Well, like, if they're like, well, is TPUSA still going

369
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 6: to be the same without Charlie, they're like, oh, they're

370
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 6: turning points causing division. You know. It's like and I'm like,

371
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 6: the cause and the movement doesn't stop with Charlie being gone.

372
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 6: In fact, it's more people coming together.

373
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: You know, I have a lot of I have a

374
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: lot of opinions here. Actually, Yeah, so a lot of

375
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: these people that Okay, so listen, Charlie deserved to be

376
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: lifted up and praised and remembered in such a remarkable

377
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: fashion because he was so remarkable, there's no doubt. But

378
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: they're also whitewashing a lot of the road to get there.

379
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: Charlie came under incredible scrutiny, incredible criticism. From the time

380
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: I worked with Charlie. There was not a day that

381
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: went by where he was not being attacked by somebody

382
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: on the right, by somebody that was, you know, part

383
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: of this larger coalition that wasn't chipping at his heels,

384
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: wasn't I mean, I'm telling you that was just the.

385
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Norm.

386
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 3: It was completely a situation where you know, we have

387
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: more I have more memories of people on the right

388
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: attacking Charlie than I do people on the right praising

389
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: him in his life. And then obviously, when somebody is

390
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: martyred the way Charlie was, a lot of those people

391
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: kind of put that aside. They said nice things, which

392
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 3: is great, they should. Charlie deserved that. But these are

393
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: the same actors that were bubbling up before. So you know,

394
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: I think there's just kind of a bit of a

395
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: misremembering of the past to the extent that Turning Point

396
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 3: is sewing division, I completely disagree with that. These are again,

397
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: these are the same people that see an opening. We

398
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: had Walter Kerna on and you know, he was talking

399
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: about the vacuum and how some of these I think

400
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: negative actors kind of rush into the space. Like Turning

401
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: Point has not done anything different than we did when

402
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 3: Charlie was alive. We brought people together that disagree on

403
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: different topics. Those people went on stage at Amfest, they

404
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 3: let the world know that they had disagreements. But that

405
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: wasn't something that we did. We didn't tell them to,

406
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, have a fight in public. That was the

407
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: choice that they made from the stage at Amfest to

408
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: do that.

409
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: Now any other.

410
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 3: Division, it's not like we're out there, you know, throwing

411
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: ideological bombs on you know, inside the movement here or there.

412
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: It's literally, this is a bunch of people that are

413
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: rushing into a vacuum. There is a little there are

414
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: issues that are fracturing the base, mostly foreign policy issues,

415
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: mostly issues about Israel or whatever. And so we're not

416
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: actually the ones responsible for the division. This is just

417
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: inherent in a coalition, this big, and this and this

418
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: this rowdy. We have a rowdy group of people that

419
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: make up the right of center, and our job is

420
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: to just be a convening force and to allow the

421
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: best and the smartest and the brightest to come together

422
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: and have those conversations. Or you know, in an election year,

423
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: hopefully they get more focused and they attack the left.

424
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: But you know, we're not the ones really doing that.

425
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 3: So I would disagree with that in general. And then

426
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 3: the last thing I would say, Charlie became really good

427
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: at this. He would just bow through the objections. He

428
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: would just put his head down, put his shoulder to

429
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: the plow, and do good work. And that's what we

430
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: intend to do, and that's what we're gonna keep doing.

431
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: So I appreciate your backup on that. Just just push

432
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: through the objections, just do good work. And ultimately, there's

433
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 3: very few people in the conservative movement or any movement

434
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 3: for that matter, that do real work, that actually get

435
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 3: the job done, and so a lot of people are

436
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: gonna have opinions. At the end of the day, there's

437
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: only gonna be a few left standing that are doing

438
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: real work. We're gonna be one of those organizations and

439
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 3: that has a uniting effect when when the chips are down.

440
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 3: So thank you for that opportunity. I don't know if

441
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: you want to add anything. I kind of monologue there, Blake.

442
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: But Charlie was a humble person. I think that helped.

443
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 5: That's a big reason he could build coalitions is he

444
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 5: didn't take past arguments terribly seriously. And that's just very

445
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 5: important because politics is constantly shifting coalitions and there's if

446
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: you want to have a gripe with someone, there are

447
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 5: endless reasons to do it, and you have to overcome that.

448
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 5: If you're going to be a coalition builder in politics,

449
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 5: you have to be you have to have thick skin,

450
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 5: and you have to have slick skin things that just

451
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 5: go off you. Yeah, well said, And I'd say that

452
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: was a very strong talent of Charlie and something that

453
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 5: developed over time. Charlie was constantly improving, as we've talked

454
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 5: about him improving in his faith as a family man,

455
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 5: but he was also improving as a politician as he aged.

456
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: He was maturing.

457
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: Think about it, every single dollar you spend is either

458
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: supporting your values or working. Again, in today's economy, where

459
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: you spend your money it really matters, and that's how

460
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: we take back our country. Patriot Mobile is leading the

461
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 3: way as America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and you

462
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: can switch today without sacrificing quality or service. You'll get

463
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: exceptional nationwide coverage because unlike most budget wireless providers, Patriot

464
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: Mobile has access to all three major networks. Or you

465
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 3: can do what I do and you can add two

466
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: numbers on two different networks on one phone, something the

Speaker 2: Doing great? Doing great? Thanks? What's the question?

499
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 10: My question is, first of all, I want to thank

500
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 10: you for having Congress in Calvert, for coming on talking

501
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 10: about voter ID. My second statement would be, how do

502
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 10: we get the rest of our our candidates front and center?

503
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 10: So we know right now who to vote for for

504
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 10: for the primaries, because it seems like we're lacky.

505
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: Are you in California, David, I'm in Communist California. Okay,

506
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: So are you specifically asking how you can get your

507
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: candidate's front and center in California.

508
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 10: California or yeah, probably in California. Yeah, because you talked

509
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 10: about I heard you talked about.

510
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: That.

511
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 10: You know, how do we unite the people Some of

512
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 10: these people we can't unite because they're not our clients.

513
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, sure, sure, so yeah, I mean listen, I

514
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: will say that you know, Congressman Calvert, he's probably going

515
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: to be the congressman at you know, in the forty

516
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: first district, the new forty first district, and he's a

517
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: guy that you know, just has a great grassroots army

518
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 3: behind him. He's been doing this since nineteen ninety three

519
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: in the state of California. So he's probably gonna win

520
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: that that race. He's gonna be one of the few

521
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: Republicans on a nationwide basis out of the out of

522
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 3: California that remain after Prop fifty. So as far as

523
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: you know, by the way, that people don't realize how

524
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: expensive a petition drive of that magnitude is it's about

525
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: seven million bucks so far. It's probably gonna cost them

526
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: close to about nine when they're all said and done,

527
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: just to get that very popular measure on the ballot

528
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: in November twenty twenty six, and hopefully that does pass

529
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 3: and they are able to withstand the negativity that's about

530
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: to come.

531
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: Their way when it is now.

532
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 5: Regarding the midterm candidates. Uh, one, you're just gonna see

533
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 5: a lot of them here because we obviously give We

534
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 5: had Andy biggs On as an example just the other day.

535
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: But you'll see j Feeley. It'll just Monday.

536
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 5: Gradually, We're just gonna gradually escalate. How many of these

537
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 5: people are. Wait, jfe you see the Is he a quarterback?

538
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? He was, or a kicker or something some sort

539
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: of sports.

540
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: We're gonna ask him. Man, I'm gonna I'm trum in Arizona.

541
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: That's another one.

542
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 5: No, that's awesome. But uh and but you'll see more

543
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 5: of them. You're going to primarily see them, of course

544
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: in the races. We're most focused on Arizona because they're local,

545
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 5: we can have them in and it's the state we

546
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: care most about. Swing states generally the swing races, We're

547
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 5: going to be very fixated on those. Uh, But we

548
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 5: reach further afield, we'll probably end up talking to some

549
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: We'll probably end up talking to some of these Indiana

550
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: Indiana Republicans. We're gonna have to have unseeding state lawmakers there.

551
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 5: It's you'll primarily see the races we're most involved in,

552
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 5: but obviously we care about the races all over the

553
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 5: country and we will be doing what we can to

554
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: raise awareness for them. But you know, currently we haven't

555
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 5: had primaries in most of the places.

556
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that's when you're gonna you're gonna

557
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: see a lot of them. You stole my my answer.

558
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: The primary process ten, I mean, it done best. It's

559
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: supposed to be a sifting process, right, But what ends

560
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: up happening in a general sense is they spend more money.

561
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: There's a lot more media spend, they raise money, You're

562
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: gonna hear about them more.

563
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: They're gonna be doing more media.

564
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: So, I mean, the local GOP, state GOP in California

565
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: is a pretty divided bunch. There's kind of the more

566
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: moderate wing versus the more maga wing, and it's a mess.

567
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, and especially in California, it's a

568
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: bit of a mess. So you got to do your

569
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 3: best and be a consumer of the information and be

570
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: deliberate and then send us emails freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

571
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 3: We'll do our best to also listen to you, especially

572
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: if you're a member. We see your emails come through

573
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: all the time, trust me. So hopefully it was helpful.

574
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: But you know, the strength of the candidate has to

575
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: shine through. They have to shine through, they have to

576
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: cut through the noise. That is the challenge of a candidate,

577
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 3: especially in this media landscape. Julia, you're next here on

578

Speaker 2: Welcome, welcome, Thanks Julia.

586
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 12: So, I wanted to ask you guys a question or

587
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 12: two if there's extra time. But my first question is,

588
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 12: my family and I are from Canada, Communist Canada, and

589
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 12: we ran from Canada in twenty twenty two. We were

590
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 12: persecuted and we lost everything, job, schooling, We didn't comply,

591
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 12: so we were the outcast of society and ran legally.

592
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 12: We came to the US and I went to school

593
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 12: for music, and I graduated, I finished, and now it's

594
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 12: now what how can I stay and contribute to this

595
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 12: amazing country not get sent back to communism? Basically, So

596
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 12: my question is what do you guys think about H

597
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 12: one B visas I had a company offer me one

598
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 12: and I know that your show has talked about it

599
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 12: a little bit, So what are your guys thoughts on that?

600
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: Well, so what we make of on H one b's

601
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 5: as a national policy. We've been critical of it because

602
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: it's very clear in our opinion that H one bees

603
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 5: have been used. They've helped descal America. We've gotten commpanies

604
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 5: addicted to an alternative way of getting workers, so they

605
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 5: don't need to train Americans as much. They can pay

606
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 5: workers less. But obviously that's us talking on a national level.

607
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 5: On an individual level, we can tell you are a

608
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 5: great We would like more people you're We would love

609
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 5: to have people like you, and we would much rather

610
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 5: have an H one B job go to you than

611
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 5: to someone who will be a parasite, who will be

612
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 5: a future UH daycare, welfare entrepreneur or something. And so

613
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 5: if you have that opportunity, we will one hundred percent

614
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 5: encourage you to take it, because that's we have to

615
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 5: always be reasonable with that. And you know, an individual

616
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: good immigrant doesn't mean oh we should have open borders,

617
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 5: and a person who you could make a good use

618
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 5: of an H one B doesn't mean we should have

619
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 5: H one b's as widely used as they are now

620
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 5: or in the same way. But one if you have

621
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 5: a job that would require H ONEB is just because

622
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: we are critical of that program doesn't mean you.

623
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: Shouldn't take it and take advantage of your legal opportunity to.

624
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: Use an H one B.

625
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, obviously there's a difference between the macro and

626
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: the micro. You're gonna hear us criticize H one b's

627
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: from a macro, but as a micro, you know, individual

628
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: level by all means pursue that go with God. But yeah,

629
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: I do hope the H one B program gets abolished entirely.

630
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's been on the on

631
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: the whole, a very destructive policy for our country. What

632
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: was your other question?

633
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 12: For sure? Thank you guys, And by the way, I

634
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 12: also agree with you. So I've been kind of like

635
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 12: figuring out what I need to do next. But my

636
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 12: next question is I do want to get married. But

637
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 12: and I've met a lot of people in Canada and

638
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 12: in the US. I don't feel like I've missed my

639
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 12: boat by any means. I'm very much with my family

640
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 12: and the Lord with this, so I'm not afraid of

641
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 12: anything like that. But a lot of the guys that

642
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 12: I'm meeting at church down here, there's lots of guys,

643
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 12: but they're very young and immature, and they are not

644
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 12: financially ready to have families and this kind of stuff.

645
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 12: So I feel like, as the days go buy more

646
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 12: and more. I'm looking for someone older who's already financially stable,

647
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 12: who I guess is just more mature than me, and

648
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 12: I can look up to them that kind of thing.

649
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: So I know that, Yeah, how old are you and

650
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: where do you live?

651
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 12: I'm twenty four and I'm in Houston, Texas right now.

652
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: Okay, continue twenty four?

653
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 5: You love it and miss the boat? You're twenty four? No,

654
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 5: I don't think I did.

655
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 12: I just I've met a lot of people, and I'm

656
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 12: sure some people are.

657
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: Like, what are you doing?

658
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 12: But anyways, so Yeah, I've met a lot of people

659
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 12: and they're just they're really young, and I just want

660
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 12: to meet someone who I respect, who's older than me,

661
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 12: who I can look up to and I trust that

662
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 12: they can take care of a family. So do you

663
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 12: guys think that women these days just have too hive

664
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 12: a standard and like we're part of the problem or

665
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 12: am I I'm being part of the problem by having

666
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 12: to hive a standard? Or is my concerns right? If

667
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 12: that makes sense.

668
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 5: I don't want to talk to at length about this

669
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: because I am not married, but I would say, especially

670
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 5: at your age, remember that marriage is not You're not

671
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 5: getting married to a finished product. You yourself are not

672
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 5: a finished product an ideal marriage. You are growing together

673
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 5: and you're spending your life together. So if there are

674
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 5: men who are not financially ready yet, you should be

675
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 5: able to use your mind and use a reasonable dating

676
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 5: process to think is this a person who will mature,

677
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: who will grow into someone who can support a family,

678
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 5: and you can make that decision, Like if they're in school,

679
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 5: are they studying a serious subject? Are they getting a

680
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 5: job that has long term potentially? You know you're in Houston,

681
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 5: So a guy who's getting a job in the energy

682
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: sector and he's getting a degree in petroleum engineering or

683
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 5: in finance. That's very different from maybe a guy who's

684
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 5: twenty four and he just he doesn't have a strong

685
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 5: sense on what he wants out of life, and you

686
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 5: can tell he's not making long term plans. So I

687
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 5: think you can look for those with younger men, and

688
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 5: then you can still have real confidence, especially if you

689
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 5: are a good partner who is supportive, that they will

690
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 5: grow into a strong person. I just throw that out

691
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 5: there to say, don't be automatically dismissive of guys who

692
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 5: are your own age just because they aren't worth two

693
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 5: million dollars and they don't own a house yet. And

694
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: I've seen that. I guess, like I said, I'm not married,

695
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 5: but I've seen this in my own family. My sister

696
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 5: got married while still in college. Obviously her husband was

697
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 5: not wealthy yet or he's still with me now, but

698
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: he was a serious person. He has a good job now,

699
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 5: and I'm confident they will be successful in the long term.

700
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 5: He didn't need to already be super financially independent yet.

701
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 5: That's what I'd say. But I should let Andrew talk

702
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 5: up about this because he's.

703
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 2: Married, as the married guy of this, No, I actually

704
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: don't have a lot to add. I thought that was

705
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 2: a lot of wisdom there, Blake.

706
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: I My wife and I got married when I didn't have,

707
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, two Nichols to rub together, and it was

708
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 3: the best decision I ever made. And I would also

709
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: just say, you know, maybe it's tripe, but you know,

710
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: you should find somebody that you're attracted to and that

711
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 3: you love and that you share values with. You know,

712
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 3: my wife and I from a faith perspective, shared our

713
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: values and you know, we prayed together and we went

714
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: to church together, and there wasn't there was a zero

715
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: conflict on that. And the other thing is we just

716
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 3: like to do the same things a lot of the time.

717
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 3: And you know these are basic things that sometimes we

718
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: can overthink. You know, do you like doing the same things?

719
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: Do you like hanging out together? And I think you

720
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 3: marry that with you know, pun intended with everything Blake

721
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: said that, are they a serious person? Do they have

722
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: long term goals? Are they talented? Are they capable? Are

723
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 3: they competent? You know, those people are gonna are going

724
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 3: to ultimately succeed. Something's gonna break their way and opportunity

725
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: is gonna come up. So you know, you gotta bet

726
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 3: on somebody sometimes, and you know, young love can be

727
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: a really beautiful thing, especially when you have faith in

728
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 3: common and values in common. So god speed, I'm sure

729
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna work out for you. Seem like a lovely lady,

730
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,040

762
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 11: Hey? So, I really heard a lot from Charlie about

763
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 11: his stress of just classic literature and lots of good

764
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 11: things for just consuming. And I think he really cared

765
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 11: a lot about today the problems that are just within storytelling,

766
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 11: I guess, and just all entertainment culture and people are

767
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 11: just always consuming poison and thinking it's just brownies and

768
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 11: stuff like that. Yeah, So I'm wondering what are just

769
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 11: like the worst probably top three probably just specific problems

770
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 11: within the entertainment culture today. And for context, I mean,

771
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 11: Charlie really inspired me in my time in Turning Point too.

772
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 11: I'm nineteen starting a nonprofit myself right now and it's

773
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 11: literally called Create with Purpose because I just want kids

774
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 11: and students to just like fight the incoherence in world

775
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 11: views and try to get back to putting and instilling

776
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 11: this godly worldview and the values that are missing from

777
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 11: all our stories and stuff. So yeah, I'm really wondering

778
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 11: just what are the top three maybe things to really

779
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 11: think about in getting students to change.

780
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 5: I guess in this culture, what are the worst most

781
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 5: poisonous influences in entertainment culture today?

782
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: I think it's you know, you kind of touched on it, Gigi,

783
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 3: but it's this the moral cloudiness, the incoherence in the

784
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: moral viewpoint of the secular left. I mean, there really

785
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 3: is no up or down, right or left. It's all

786
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: sort of what do you feel? What do you make

787
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: of it? So when we talk about this in education

788
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: as well, you know, the root word means to lead forth,

789
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: So you have to in order to lead forth, you

790
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: have to know where you're going, and it has to

791
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 3: be rooted in something transcendent, eternal, good, true. But if

792
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: you don't know what the truth is, then you're just leading.

793
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: It's the blind leading the blind, and ultimately that is

794
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 3: modern art, you know, in so many ways. Now, the

795
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: flip side of that is that the conservative right or

796
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 3: the religious right tends to be pretty bad at art

797
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: because they also close themselves off to a lot of

798
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: exploration and creativity. And I really do believe, Gigi that

799
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: there is something about you have to know the truth

800
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: in order to lead people to the truth. You have

801
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 3: to be able to articulate with moral clarity. And this

802
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: is one of the things that Charlie did so well.

803
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: He had such moral clarity. Things were not complicated for

804
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 3: Charlie most of the time. And you know, I would

805
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 3: just say that, you know, you kind of have to

806
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: marry a willingness to explore the frontiers of different ideas

807
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: and be edgy while also knowing where you're leading people.

808
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 3: And that's why conservatives sometimes struggle with bad art, and

809
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: that's why liberals and progressives tend to make destructive art.

810
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: And so the best forms and versions of that are

811
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 3: with people with a moral clarity and a place where

812
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 3: they're leading people to go. And you know, I would say,

813
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 3: look at the Bible. The best narratives in the history

814
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: of the world all come out of the Bible. The

815
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: archetypes are biblical archetypes because they speak to something you know,

816
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 3: truly fundamental about the human experience. And so a lot

817
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: of the best films and TV shows are essentially tracking

818
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 3: on a character arc or a plot arc what biblical

819
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 3: narratives have done right. The Exodus story is one of those,

820
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 3: The hero's journey is another one of those, and so

821
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: so there these are the stories that animate the human soul,

822
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: and I think you can use those as a foundation

823
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: to then build other narratives off of. And I think

824
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 3: most of the successful Oscar winners throughout the years, at

825
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 3: least classically and traditionally, have been essentially just a Biblical

826
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: narrative that has been adapted to some other context.

827
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 5: Well done. I think we have two questions still in Q.

828
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 5: Let's get them. Let's get them through. Let's have Christine.

829
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 5: Can you hear us? Unmute yourself?

830
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me on and thanks for all the

831
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 7: amazing work you guys are doing.

832
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: Thank you.

833
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 7: My question is I live in Oklahoma City. I'm a

834
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 7: mom of three young kids, and we just applied to

835
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 7: two Christian Bible teaching schools for my oldest. And one

836
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 7: of the things I remember Charlie talking about the most

837
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 7: is how the greatest gift you can give a child

838
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 7: is a Christian education from a Bible teaching school. And

839
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 7: I think he went on to say, and to also

840
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 7: know that there is a God and they are not it.

841
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 7: And I think about that all the time when I'm

842
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 7: raising my kids. But my question is the wait list

843
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 7: for these schools just outnumbers the amount of spots that

844
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 7: they have, And so what can we do, just as

845
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 7: individuals or as a greater movement to ensure that every child,

846
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 7: every parent who wants a Christian education for their child

847
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 7: has the opportunity.

848
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 5: Well, the merciful thing we have is we do live

849
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 5: in a relatively free country, So especially in your state,

850
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 5: I have to imagine it's easier than in most if

851
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 5: you wanted to start a new one. I'm not putting

852
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 5: it on you to say you should start at school,

853
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 5: but ideally new schools do open to meet that demand

854
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 5: because people do want these Bible, these Christian academies The

855
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 5: other alternative, of course, is there is homeschooling and such.

856
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 5: I know that is also a lot to ask of somebody,

857
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 5: but that has gotten easier than ever. I will say

858
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 5: homeschooling thirty years ago was really challenging. You had to

859
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 5: do it yourself in a lot of ways, and it

860
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 5: was associated with weirder people not saying they are. But

861
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: that was association. Now way more people do it. There's

862
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 5: endless resources online for every subject, so you don't need

863
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 5: to be an expert on on everything. There's Christian resources

864
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 5: that you can use for every subject. You can have

865
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 5: a Christian math textbook. A friend of mine used one

866
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 5: for his kids, and can I just yes, of course,

867
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 5: we'll run at a time.

868
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: So I recently had to go through something similar because

869
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: I had to move my family to Arizona. There was

870
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 3: a wait list for the Christian school that we wanted

871
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 3: to send our kids to. We toured like five or

872
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: six of them, and you know, we just went and

873
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 3: met with the leadership of the school and met with

874
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: some of the teachers and they actually made space for us.

875
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: And so there's always that option, you know, to do

876
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 3: a little old school politic and internally get in touch

877
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: with them directly, face to face conversations, explain why you

878
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: would be a value add to that community. Because schools

879
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 3: want good people, they want good families, they want good parents,

880
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 3: and so if they see in you the kind of

881
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 3: people that they want populating their community and their student body,

882
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: they're going to try and make space for you.

883
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 2: They really will.

884
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: And then on that note, it's already funny because there's

885
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 3: been two offshoots from the school that we're now a

886
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: part of, to Blake's point, that are starting their own.

887
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 3: One wants to go more of a classical education direction.

888
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: One wants to go a little bit more smaller.

889
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 2: School class sizes. So there's these offshoots from the ones

890
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: the school.

891
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 5: We really are. We complain a lot, we're blessed on

892
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 5: the education front that public schools have gotten bad, but

893
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 5: the actual options that are available to parents are better

894
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 5: than ever. And in a lot of red states you

895
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 5: can now often I don't know if.

896
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right now, homeschool families qualified for

897
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: a thousand bucks. You get credit amounts of five thousand

898
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 3: to seventy five hundred per eligible student based on tuition fees, but.

899
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 5: Also vouchers for private schools as well.

900
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: That's what it is exactly.

901
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 5: So our options are getting better and better, and so

902
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 5: we wish you the best of luck with that.

903
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 3: Uh one last one, one last question here yep, and

904
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 3: we got Greg, Greg, please I meet yourself. Welcome to

905
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: the Charlie Kirkshow what's your question?

906
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: We got?

907
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 13: Okay, First, you had a show that talked about a

908
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 13: bill pass in sixty five about limiting positions. I think

909
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 13: Carmeo was there talking Carmew.

910
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 5: Camew, Oh yeah, the data guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

911
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 13: Do you think did you bring that up to the

912
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 13: Trump administration to see if they could change that anyway?

913
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 2: Yes?

914
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 3: Actually I actually connected him with some people that are

915
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: working on healthcare stuff.

916
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

917
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 5: I definitely has windows into the admin, so which is great.

918
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 13: That's good. Also, you talked about the sixty vote filibuster

919
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 13: recently also, and I just saw Pete Ricketts from Nebraska

920
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 13: Republican who said that that was part of the way

921
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 13: the founder set it up to be. And I was like, really,

922
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 13: these guys need an education. You guys need to get

923
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 13: up there and get.

924
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 4: Them right now.

925
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 2: Ricketts, what did he say?

926
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 5: I apparently he said the founders wanted the filibuster to exist.

927
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 3: Now, he said, well, that these are rules that existed

928
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 3: that basically day back to I think the nineteen twelve

929
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 3: or some nineteen not even that.

930
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 5: I think really modern filibuster as we know it is

931
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 5: basically forty years old.

932
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the concept of the filibuster evolved starting with

933
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 3: a rule change in like the nineteen twelve.

934
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: I looked it up the other day.

935
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 3: Anyways, you know, and we've we've actually been pushing Senator

936
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 3: Lee's idea where you actually make them be on the floor.

937
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 3: But apparently even then they could that the way that

938
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 3: that rule is is, and I talked to some other

939
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 3: senators is that it's just on a single issue of

940
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: a bill. So you could invent infinity issues. Basically, it

941
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 3: wouldn't fix the problem because you get through with one issue,

942
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 3: they give up, and then they go into the next

943
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: issue and they do the whole process all over again.

944
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 3: So it wouldn't fix the process. So you've got it.

945
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 3: You got to sort of say the the the option

946
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: that they're now looking at is maybe a limited nuking

947
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 3: of the filibuster, but it's partial, and it would it

948
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 3: would only it would only apply to funding bills.

949
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: This is their new idea.

950
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 5: That's how it's really been is so you used to

951
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 5: have you could filibuster Supreme Court nominees. They got rid

952
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 5: of that. You could filibuster lower judicial nominees, they got

953
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 5: rid of that. Now they'd be getting it. They're clearly

954
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 5: chipping away. I suspect eventually the filibuster is going to die,

955
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 5: and the matter is just who's going to do it

956
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 5: and are they going to be able to get value

957
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 5: out of doing it. And that's why we've always talked

958
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 5: about that, don't nuke the filibuster unless you will get

959
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 5: something useful out of it, immigration.

960
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 2: Voter ID, those types of things.

961
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 3: Thank you guys. That was and ask me anything. That's

962
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 3: a good one, lots good questions.
