Speaker 1: With you here again. Such an honor, such a terrific
Speaker 1: opportunity to be filling in for Buck Sexton. Buck is
Speaker 1: a dear friend. He's an American patriot. He is someone
Speaker 1: who I admire dearly. We work with a lot at

Speaker 1: You type in Charlie Kirk Show, Press subscribe give you
Speaker 1: that five star rating. That really helps us out. And
Speaker 1: it's just such a thrilled to be hosting the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton radio show again. And let's dive right into it.
Speaker 1: So I was watching this story it said Ice to
Speaker 1: move two hundred and twenty five thousand illegals across country,
Speaker 1: thousand more to South Florida, and I don't understand why
Speaker 1: they would actually be sent to South Florida. Doesn't seem
Speaker 1: as if nothing. I don't think Miami or South Florida
Speaker 1: are sanctuary cities, and so that doesn't really add up
Speaker 1: to me. However, if you were going to send them,
Speaker 1: send them to San Francisco, or send them to Manhattan,
Speaker 1: the very cities, or Portland or Seattle, the very cities
Speaker 1: that have passed the sanctuary city measures. I have the
Speaker 1: great opportunity at Turning Point USA to be able to
Speaker 1: work with some of the most exciting and charismatic and
Speaker 1: driven voices in the entire movement. We have had just
Speaker 1: some amazing blessings of opportunities, and our next guest is
Speaker 1: no different. He's a dear friend, he is a veteran,
Speaker 1: he is a patriot, and he is a voice that
Speaker 1: the Left is doing everything they can to prevent from
Speaker 1: getting that message out. It is. It's a great honor
Speaker 1: to introduce my friend and spokesperson at Turning Point USA,
Speaker 1: Rob Smith. Rob, are you on the line? I am
Speaker 1: on the line, Charlie. Thanks for coming here. Now. Rob
Speaker 1: is a veteran, he is black, and he's also gay.
Speaker 1: So according to the American Left, Rob, you do not exist.
Speaker 1: So tell the audience a little about your story, and
Speaker 1: we're just so thrilled to be working with you at
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA to get your message out to millions
Speaker 1: and millions more people. Absolutely, first of all, things are
Speaker 1: having me, Charlie. Second of all, yes, my story, I
Speaker 1: am a America's favorite black gay Republican. As I like
Speaker 1: to call myself. My story is I am somebody who
Speaker 1: is a working class black kid from acron Ohio. I
Speaker 1: joined the military right out of high school to serve
Speaker 1: my country to you know, find a better way to
Speaker 1: do a whole lot of different things. I served one
Speaker 1: tour in the two sorts, two tours in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: one tour in a rock and I came out quote
Speaker 1: unquote as a conservative about a year ago in response
Speaker 1: to not only the outraged culture of the left, but
Speaker 1: also my red pill moment, as I like to say,
Speaker 1: was when a terrorist killed forty nine gays and lesbians
Speaker 1: and a gay bar impulse Orlando. You know, I'm thinking that,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm black and gave. You know, the left
Speaker 1: is the place for me. The left is supposed to
Speaker 1: protect me. The left died none of those things. In
Speaker 1: the wake of that horrific terrorist attack. I remember people
Speaker 1: that were supposed to be the spokesperson for the LGBT
Speaker 1: community who are afraid to call out radical Islamic terrorism.
Speaker 1: They were afraid to call it out, okay, because they
Speaker 1: were afraid that they would be quote unquote excommunicated from
Speaker 1: the left. And that on top of reading a very
Speaker 1: profound book by end culture called audios America, that pretty
Speaker 1: much accelerated my red pill moment. And I remember a
Speaker 1: year ago about this time, right before I came out.
Speaker 1: I was sitting in Las Vegas. My very best friend,
Speaker 1: a dear friend lives in Las Vegas, and I was
Speaker 1: thinking about doing all this as I was thinking about
Speaker 1: quote unquote coming out as a black gay conservative, and
Speaker 1: I knew that I had to make it a huge
Speaker 1: media moment. I had to make it as big a
Speaker 1: splash as possible because I had to let the left
Speaker 1: know that they do not own black votes, that they
Speaker 1: do not own gay votes, that they do not own
Speaker 1: my black gay vote. And that happened. I have been,
Speaker 1: you know, on the receiving end of a lot of
Speaker 1: attacks from the left, as I'm sure you you know,
Speaker 1: as we know you have as well, well. Rob. That
Speaker 1: is such an important point, and I just draw such
Speaker 1: inspiration because the left has rules, don't they. It seems
Speaker 1: like they have rules for alleged political conversation, and they say, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so walk through some of those rules, and some
Speaker 1: of the backlash you have received for just thinking for yourself, well,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the rules of the left is
Speaker 1: basically even let's just even start with the black thing.
Speaker 1: All black people, according to the left, all black people
Speaker 1: have to be Democrats. If you're a black person, in
Speaker 1: you espouse any sort of views or any sort of
Speaker 1: ideas that are not in line with far left ideology,
Speaker 1: you're excommunicated. You're called an uncle Tom, you're called a
Speaker 1: house in word. You don't called all these different things
Speaker 1: just because you do not adhere to leftist ideology. So
Speaker 1: the rule of the left is that as a black person,
Speaker 1: you have to be a democrat. The rule of the
Speaker 1: as a gay person, you have to be a democrat.
Speaker 1: And you have to adhere to all of this. You know,
Speaker 1: you have to adhere to all the transgender ideology. You
Speaker 1: have to adhere to everything the left says in the
Speaker 1: second you step outside of that, you're excommunicated. Because the
Speaker 1: thing about the left is that they talk a lot
Speaker 1: about diversity. They love diversity in tone, They love having
Speaker 1: lots of different people that all look differently but think
Speaker 1: the exact same way. Yes, and I you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a conservative that lives in the bluest of the blue.
Speaker 1: I live in New York City, and when I came
Speaker 1: out as conservative last year, I was completely excommunicated from
Speaker 1: the gay community here in New York City. No more
Speaker 1: of them invites, no more of this, no more of that.
Speaker 1: You know, people literally avoid my gaze as I'm walking
Speaker 1: down the street. You know, people that I've known in
Speaker 1: the city for years, people in that horrible Robins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't like to see myself
Speaker 1: as a victim. Obviously, it's a very bad thing. It
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good and it hurts. But I realize that
Speaker 1: I have to make this statement and make this stand
Speaker 1: because I get so many messages via social media from
Speaker 1: so many people who are afraid to come out as
Speaker 1: conservative because they're afraid that what happened to me will
Speaker 1: happen to them. Well, and so let's talk about the
Speaker 1: LGBT um community in particular. I AKZ plus plus right,
Speaker 1: Mason point exclamation point right. And so I always never
Speaker 1: understood why there was this belief that gay people had
Speaker 1: to be had to be liberals. And so do you
Speaker 1: find that there are more members of the LGBT community
Speaker 1: coming out as conservatives? Do you get those messages? Do
Speaker 1: you get that kind of impression? Yeah, I get I
Speaker 1: really get that impression. I get those messages a lot.
Speaker 1: There's Charlie, there's something going on right now. You're not
Speaker 1: going to see it reflecting the mainstream media because number one,
Speaker 1: they're the last to know anything, always get it wrong,
Speaker 1: they always get it wrong. They're always the last everything.
Speaker 1: And also they don't want to elevate what's going on.
Speaker 1: So I get messages constantly, okay from gay men, from
Speaker 1: lesbians who are saying, no, I don't identify with the
Speaker 1: left anymore. And it's not even the same reasons that
Speaker 1: I don't identify as a left like for me, it
Speaker 1: was the Post Orlando thing, it was that trans transgender
Speaker 1: ideology is going absolutely crazy. But some people are telling me,
Speaker 1: you know, I believe in limited government. You know, I
Speaker 1: am a gay man who happens to be a small
Speaker 1: business owner, right and I know that democratic policies and
Speaker 1: leftist laws hurt me as a business owner. So I'm
Speaker 1: getting all of these messages as well. And I think
Speaker 1: that the idea that gays and lesbians have to be
Speaker 1: liberals and have to be Democrats is a very new development,
Speaker 1: because after they don't as tell a law which basically
Speaker 1: banned gay lesbian socials from sobering openly, when that was
Speaker 1: repealed and when Mary's Equality was passed, because Mary's Equality
Speaker 1: is the law of the land, and our president just
Speaker 1: said today that he has no problem with Pete Buddha
Speaker 1: Judge being married to a man. Isn't that amazing? I
Speaker 1: just want to start to interrupt you, Rob, that's a
Speaker 1: Republican president saying that that's an amazing thing, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an amazing thing for this moment
Speaker 1: in American history. And I may add that President Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is the first president in American history to enter
Speaker 1: off as as a supporter of a marriage quality which
Speaker 1: he gives no credit for from the West. Yes, And
Speaker 1: I just quickly to Google search of Trump Pete Buddha Judge,
Speaker 1: trying to you know, trying to see if this would
Speaker 1: get a headline. He gets no credit for having a
Speaker 1: view that is different than the traditional Republican dogment. Finally
Speaker 1: unearthed the third page Trump on Pete Bodda judge marriage
Speaker 1: to a man. I think it's absolutely fine. Great, isn't
Speaker 1: that amazing? Rob? That's that's ana. But you know, but
Speaker 1: do you know what's amazing? You know what's really interesting
Speaker 1: about this? In my opinion, Love you get your take
Speaker 1: on it. The left wants Trump to be angry at him,
Speaker 1: don't they. They almost want it to be an issue.
Speaker 1: And I think they're disappointed that the president is okay
Speaker 1: with it. They are disappointed to left in especially the
Speaker 1: far left LGBT movement right now right they need for
Speaker 1: Donald or they need for the president to be their
Speaker 1: their anti gay boogeyman. They need for him to be homophobic,
Speaker 1: they need for him to be all of these things
Speaker 1: because they don't want to see the fact that there
Speaker 1: are a lot of gays and lesbians waking up to Conservatism,
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of gay and lesbian supporters
Speaker 1: of the president. As a matter of fact, when I
Speaker 1: was in a Florida a couple of months ago, I
Speaker 1: was I was doing a Judge Unique show on Fox
Speaker 1: As I was doing a remote hit for her, and
Speaker 1: I was actually able to meet another gay influencer in Florida.
Speaker 1: I think the same as the brook Back Patriots. Yeah
Speaker 1: great guy, great guy. Yeah, great guy. He and his boyfriend,
Speaker 1: you know, are literally they there's this photoism that went
Speaker 1: to my viral. They're kissing in maga hats, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And that's a very that's very powerful imagery.
Speaker 1: And people who have a vested interest in promoting this
Speaker 1: idea that the Republican Party hates gay people and is
Speaker 1: so anti gay and is so in homopho. They want
Speaker 1: to ignore those images, and when they're not completely trying
Speaker 1: to slam me or shut me down, they're trying to
Speaker 1: pretend that I don't exist. Well, I just Rob, you
Speaker 1: actually believe this or not? Just for the audience, understand,
Speaker 1: I follow the President. I follow a lot of his comments.
Speaker 1: I didn't know he made these comments on Peopoda judge
Speaker 1: until you just mentioned it. Isn't that amazing. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: in the weeds of this stuff. That's amazing. And I'm
Speaker 1: really pleased he said that because I agree with him.
Speaker 1: I think it is absolutely fine. It's the law of
Speaker 1: the land. And I'm just amazed at how the media
Speaker 1: continues to try to misrepresent the president and also the
Speaker 1: vice president. And so Rob start on that note. We
Speaker 1: have a quick break. We'll come back. Just start really
Speaker 1: quick before the break on the vice The lies are
Speaker 1: on the vice president, and then we'll come right back
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, Well, there's this big lie going around
Speaker 1: about Vice President and Pence that he supports conversion therapy
Speaker 1: for gay and lesbian minors, which is completely false and
Speaker 1: based on a total misrepresentation of campaign language that was
Speaker 1: on a website when he was governor literally years and
Speaker 1: years ago. But I'll definitely go into that when you
Speaker 1: get back totally. So we're gonna take a short break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with Rob Smith, spokesperson from Turning
Speaker 1: Point USA TPUSA dot com. He's an unbelievable voice, charismatic, principal, patriotic.
Speaker 1: Follow him on Twitter. I think it's at Rob Smith Online.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? If I'm not mistaken, And we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. Charlie Kirk filling in for the buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Radio show. Welcome back. This is Charlie Kirk filling in
Speaker 1: for Buck Sexton and the buck Sexton Radio Show. We
Speaker 1: were just chatting with my good friend and spokesperson for
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA, Rob Smith. He's a patriot. Follow him
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Rob Smith Online. So, Rob, you were
Speaker 1: about to mention some of the lies about Vice President Pence,
Speaker 1: and can you talk a little bit about Pete Buddha
Speaker 1: judge and just how it seems he is making it
Speaker 1: seems as if since he is a gay veteran, which
Speaker 1: you are as well be on the left, talk about
Speaker 1: how that kind of destructive identity politics is something you're
Speaker 1: pushing back against I mean the thing about who Buddha
Speaker 1: judges this. He is picking a fight with the left
Speaker 1: favorite you know, quote unquote homophobic boogeyman vice president of
Speaker 1: Mike Pence in order to ingratiate himself to the far left.
Speaker 1: What he's doing, he's doing it for attention. He's doing
Speaker 1: it to ingratiate himself to the far left. And what
Speaker 1: I think when I see it, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: patently obvious. I feel like it's cynical, and I feel like,
Speaker 1: honestly that a lot of people are actually seeing through it.
Speaker 1: Right now. Well, I love that point, Rob, excuse me,
Speaker 1: I just start to interrupt you. I just what I
Speaker 1: loved was what you just said, is he's picking a fight.
Speaker 1: It's not like Pennce attacked him. Did He never? Never.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, by all reports, the two
Speaker 1: men had a very cordial and professional relationship when they're
Speaker 1: working in Indiana politics. Yeah, and it seems as if true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems as if the truth of just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I did work with Mike Penson. He's a
Speaker 1: decent guy. We just have different views on marriage, not
Speaker 1: on decency, but on marriage. That wouldn't win him any votes.
Speaker 1: What it It wouldn't win him any votes, and it
Speaker 1: wouldn't win him any attention. Here's the thing. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that Pep Bluduja is really serious about learning for president.
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to make a name for himself.
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to get out of out of Indiana.
Speaker 1: And what I also think is that he's using destructive
Speaker 1: and very cynical identity politics to do. It's very manipulative.
Speaker 1: And as somebody who used to be on the left
Speaker 1: and used to be very sort of open to all
Speaker 1: of this stuff, now that I'm conservative and now that
Speaker 1: I'm on the right, my eyes has been opened. I
Speaker 1: see exactly what is going on, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: open as many people eyes as possible to exactly what's
Speaker 1: going on here. Well, talk talk even a little bit
Speaker 1: more about that. In a couple of minutes. We have
Speaker 1: remaining the message that you're bringing to college campuses. And
Speaker 1: I think you're such an important voice, Rob because you've
Speaker 1: served our country two tours overseas, and you and Pete
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge all our veterans are American heroes. But you
Speaker 1: also crush the monolith of thinking that I'm also Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gay, I'm also black. WHOA. That's an amazing I mean,
Speaker 1: that's amazing that you have the courage then to also
Speaker 1: just step up and have the positions you have in
Speaker 1: the courage and the conviction. They'll talk about your message,
Speaker 1: talk about how the response you're getting, and give the
Speaker 1: audience just a little bit of hope for what you're
Speaker 1: seeing and the dial that you see that's moving and
Speaker 1: turning point us saying the work that you're doing. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think my message is pretty simple. You know, black
Speaker 1: people don't have to be democrats. Gay people don't have
Speaker 1: to be democrats. Latino people don't have to be democrats.
Speaker 1: Your immutable biological characteristics do not have to influence your
Speaker 1: politics in that way. And I think love identity politics
Speaker 1: in that way is so destructive. And I like to
Speaker 1: say that I believe that all politics is identity politics.
Speaker 1: The left users identity politics and the right uses that.
Speaker 1: I use identity politics to bring people together, to tell
Speaker 1: people that no matter what they're skating, color, sexual orientation,
Speaker 1: or religion or anything else is, you can still love America.
Speaker 1: You can still be a patriot, you can still be
Speaker 1: invested in the future. Of this country. That's the message
Speaker 1: that I really want to bring the college campuses, because
Speaker 1: my entire point is to get us talking again and
Speaker 1: to fight for free speech and to not shut down
Speaker 1: discussion in the way that you know it has been
Speaker 1: shut down on college campuses. Horrible. What has happened to
Speaker 1: seven years? And I remember, you know, I was down
Speaker 1: at Texas State University talking to a student when you know,
Speaker 1: I went down there and I talked to a couple
Speaker 1: of students and I talked to this one young lady
Speaker 1: and I put it on my Instagram, and she was
Speaker 1: so closed off to even hearing any ideas that we're
Speaker 1: different from her own. You know, she was very far left.
Speaker 1: She had an Obama T shirt on. And I commend
Speaker 1: the young lady for even speaking with me. She was
Speaker 1: so closed off. And it's not the kind of thing
Speaker 1: that makes me angry at all. It just makes me sad,
Speaker 1: But it also gives me the fire that I need
Speaker 1: to go out here and say, hey, it doesn't even
Speaker 1: matter if you're liberal or conservative. We should all be
Speaker 1: fighting for the right for all views to be heard.
Speaker 1: And I don't want that young lady to think that
Speaker 1: she has to be a liberal Democrat just because of
Speaker 1: the color of hers kin. Well, Rob, I just commend
Speaker 1: you so much for bringing that message. We got to
Speaker 1: wrap it up. It's Rob Smith from Turning Point USA.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Rob. Everybody else will be right back.
Speaker 1: Thank you again, Rob for joining us. He's holding the
Speaker 1: line for America. Buck Sexton is back. Hello, everybody, This
Speaker 1: is Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USATPUSA dot com,
Speaker 1: also host to The Charlie Kirk Show. Go to Apple podcast.
Speaker 1: Type in Charlie Kirk Show Press subscrip ribe filling in
Speaker 1: for my friend Buck Sexton. Our calling numbers eight four
Speaker 1: four nine hundred two eight two five. That's eight four four,
Speaker 1: nine hundred two eight two five. We got Bill from
Speaker 1: Oregon on the line. Bill, how are you doing? Just sign?
Speaker 1: How about yourself? I'm doing great. Our beloved president. I
Speaker 1: love what he says about the gay community because he
Speaker 1: says he has thousands He probably does have thousands of
Speaker 1: them working for him. Correct. Well, I mean if I
Speaker 1: would say in his enterprises, sure, if you're talking about
Speaker 1: his private business, I think that's that's fair to say. Sure, no,
Speaker 1: in his enterprises. But what he was I love what
Speaker 1: he said about it, and I read his books and
Speaker 1: it opened my mind up. He does not like the
Speaker 1: word homosexual or any gay community hates that. He refers
Speaker 1: to people. We all have our own choice in life.
Speaker 1: You know, some have those different lifestyles than others. That's it.
Speaker 1: There's no difference, that's right. Yes, And the president is
Speaker 1: very i would say, cutting edge on this issue because
Speaker 1: it's traditionally Republicans would not have this view at all.
Speaker 1: I know, but we have to. There's no difference in them,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean I have friends that are I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't care what they do. I totally agree. So
Speaker 1: thanks so much for your call. I appreciate it. And
Speaker 1: again the phone number is eight four four nine two
Speaker 1: eight two five. And I just want to reinforce something
Speaker 1: that our good friend Rob Smith from Turning Point USA said.
Speaker 1: He said, essentially, this president is the first president American history,
Speaker 1: incoming president in American history to support gay marriage or
Speaker 1: be okay with gay marriage if you will. This is
Speaker 1: so new, so fundamental that that even Obama when he
Speaker 1: was coming into office two thousand and eight said marriage
Speaker 1: was between one man and one woman. And it is
Speaker 1: amazing that a Republican president a president has hated so
Speaker 1: much by the liberal press, holds these ideas. There was
Speaker 1: some news out today about kind of affies US surveillance
Speaker 1: and the Moulla report and the FBI. Let's go to
Speaker 1: cut one kind of on some of the recent comments
Speaker 1: from the Attorney General and the president. The thing that's
Speaker 1: interesting about this is that this was handled at a
Speaker 1: very senior level of these departments. It wasn't handled in
Speaker 1: the ordinary way that investigations or counterintelligence activities are conducted.
Speaker 1: It was sort of an ad hoc small group, and
Speaker 1: most of these people are no longer with the FBI
Speaker 1: or the CIA or the other agencies involved. That was
Speaker 1: from Fox News, of course, that was Attorney General Bill
Speaker 1: Barr who was talking about that these were the highest
Speaker 1: levels of government that we're doing the surveilling and actually
Speaker 1: corrupting our law enforcement institutions. And Attorney General Bill Barr
Speaker 1: is on an investigative mission to find out exactly the
Speaker 1: process that the spying and the surveillance of the Trump campaign,
Speaker 1: How did it happen, Who approved that, why was it approved?
Speaker 1: Not only that, what about Peter Struck's insurance policy, what
Speaker 1: about Lisa Page, the lover, what about Brennan. What did
Speaker 1: Clapper know, What did these people know it? And how
Speaker 1: do they know it? What were they involved? The President Obama? No,
Speaker 1: there are so many unanswered questions around the surveillance. Let's
Speaker 1: go to cut through. I think there's a misconception out
Speaker 1: there that we know a lot about what happened. The
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is Bob Muller did not look
Speaker 1: at the government's activities. He was looking at the whether
Speaker 1: or not the Trump campaign had conspired with the Russians,
Speaker 1: but he was not going back and looking at the
Speaker 1: counterintelligence program. And we have a number of investigations underway
Speaker 1: that touch upon it, the main one being the Office
Speaker 1: of Inspector General that's looking at the FISA warrants. But
Speaker 1: as far as I'm aware, no one has really looked
Speaker 1: across the whole water. And that's Fox News credit of that.
Speaker 1: Attorney General Bill Barr makes the point that we haven't
Speaker 1: even begun investigating the government's role in all this, That
Speaker 1: we have not even begun to look into what did
Speaker 1: the government actually do? What how did they use the
Speaker 1: highest levels of power to go after a president they
Speaker 1: didn't like? And Bill Barr, boy, I mean, you thought
Speaker 1: about someone who's been around for some time. You look,
Speaker 1: you look around as someone who's actually been around for
Speaker 1: decades and was a former attorney general now has seen
Speaker 1: his department that he once oversaw corrupted and really poisoned
Speaker 1: by the far left in this country and about people
Speaker 1: that did not want to see Donald Trump become president
Speaker 1: United States and try to disrupt and try to interrupt
Speaker 1: his incoming administration in any way possible, any way imaginable.
Speaker 1: Orney General Bill Barr has done such a phenomenal job
Speaker 1: of deliberately and patiently going through this process to uncover
Speaker 1: the corruption and uncover them the nefarious behavior behind the
Speaker 1: spying and the surveillance on Donald Trump, and went with
Speaker 1: Bob Mueller. I do have a question for Bob Mueller,
Speaker 1: a question that I when if he actually goes in
Speaker 1: front of Congress, here is the question that I have.
Speaker 1: When did he know there was no collusion? He was
Speaker 1: special counsel for quite some time. When did he actually know?
Speaker 1: When did he come to that conclusion? Was it January
Speaker 1: of this year? Was it January of last year? Because
Speaker 1: it was a two year investigation. You're trying to tell
Speaker 1: me that four hundred page report was just done overnight,
Speaker 1: meaning he got done with it two weeks before that
Speaker 1: the report came out, of course, not I think he
Speaker 1: knew early on. I think he came to the conclusion
Speaker 1: that there was very little else to investigate, that the
Speaker 1: investigation had to be closed. Yet he continued it. Yet
Speaker 1: he continued this investigation for a singular particular, For a
Speaker 1: singular purpose, it was doing political harm to the president.
Speaker 1: That the left in this country was enjoying the what
Speaker 1: if parade, that the political left in this country was
Speaker 1: enjoying the opportunity to use the unknowns of the Mueller
Speaker 1: Report to go after the President United States, to decrease
Speaker 1: his poll numbers, to attack his credibility, and to destabilize
Speaker 1: the footing and the momentum that he was enjoying amongst
Speaker 1: the base in this country. That is why Bob Muller
Speaker 1: took as long as he did. Bob Muller could have
Speaker 1: ended this investigation, probably a couple months into it, but
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have made it at headlines. He had to
Speaker 1: go lock up a couple Trump officials for non related
Speaker 1: Russian collusion charges. Paul Manafort, Rick Gates. Rick Dates has
Speaker 1: been helpful in the prosecution of Palm maniport, but Michael Cohen,
Speaker 1: George Papadopoulos will see what happens to Lieutenant General Michael Flynn,
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. And Bob Muller was using
Speaker 1: his power there and was using it to try to
Speaker 1: go after allies and people that were in proximity of
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign. When Bob Muller could have easily discontinued
Speaker 1: this investigation very quickly because he knew he was a reasonable,
Speaker 1: reasonably smart guy, very smart persons, and he's comes with
Speaker 1: high recommendations of ethics. He could have ended this thing
Speaker 1: a lot quicker than two years and thirty million dollars
Speaker 1: of investigations, and so Bill Barr from the Fox News
Speaker 1: interview said, there now are ongoing investigations into the origins
Speaker 1: of this Russia prope For example, who knew that this
Speaker 1: dossier was actually funded by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat
Speaker 1: National Committee? When did this get discovered? Was this known
Speaker 1: by any judge? Did they just say that they had
Speaker 1: credible evidence around it? And if so, why why weren't
Speaker 1: there more questions around the funding of this dossier. Why
Speaker 1: weren't there more questions around the intelligence process or lack
Speaker 1: thereof behind this dossier, and the dossier was then used
Speaker 1: as a tool to spy on Donald Trump and to
Speaker 1: create this narrative in the highest levels of the FBI,
Speaker 1: including Andrew McCabe. Andrew McCabe still set on sixteen minutes,
Speaker 1: as recent as a couple months ago, that there is
Speaker 1: credible intelligence that the President did indeed collude to the
Speaker 1: foreign power. Now it is impossible to prove a negative,
Speaker 1: but if there is ever an opportunity to actually prove
Speaker 1: a negative, that would be the Muller Report, as exhaustively
Speaker 1: an investigation possibly could. The president has been totally and
Speaker 1: completely cleared on this issue. The President has been completely
Speaker 1: vindicated and exonerated on this issue. His campaign did not collude.
Speaker 1: He did not collude. None of his allies included it
Speaker 1: coluded whatsoever. We have another caller on the line. I
Speaker 1: kind of want to do open line Friday like Rush
Speaker 1: Lumba does. It's eight four to four nine eight two five.
Speaker 1: We have Kenneth from Ocean Springs, I think Mississippi. Kenneth.
Speaker 1: Are you on the line, yes, sir, Thank you, mister Kurt.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to thank you and your organization for
Speaker 1: the work that you're doing. And individuals like Candice Owens
Speaker 1: and and her showing up before that committee and the
Speaker 1: you know, the videos that came out from that was
Speaker 1: so important. I'll tell you she made mince meat out
Speaker 1: of those people. And I'm so proud of the work
Speaker 1: you do on it. Now I want to say, continue it,
Speaker 1: please continue. Well, thank you, Kenneth, And you know, we're
Speaker 1: just so proud of her and the work that she
Speaker 1: continues to do all across the country. And she has
Speaker 1: her Bleckxit program and everyone should also support her Blexit
Speaker 1: program that is educating and inspiring Black America to its
Speaker 1: defect from the Democrat primary party. So kind of thank
Speaker 1: you so much for that call. And look, the work
Speaker 1: that we are doing at Turning Point USA is fighting
Speaker 1: America's culture war. Young conservatives are under attack on college
Speaker 1: campuses across the country. In an upcoming segment on this
Speaker 1: show in the next hour, I'm going to talk about
Speaker 1: the college board president who pushes for a new SAT policy,
Speaker 1: which is absolutely unbelievable. I don't think any of you
Speaker 1: are going to be able to comprehend this. And I'm
Speaker 1: just so thankful for people like Kenneth and the grassroots
Speaker 1: donors that we have across the country at pitching five
Speaker 1: dollars and ten dollars behind turning Point at USATPUSA dot com.
Speaker 1: To empower conservatives on college campus is to be able
Speaker 1: to make a difference. And so, Kenneth, we appreciate those
Speaker 1: words of support. Again the numbers eight four four nine,
Speaker 1: eight two five. Let's go to Ron from loss Point, Mississippi. Hey,
Speaker 1: so we keep up the good work by too love Canda.
Speaker 1: So and you guys at TP TP do a great job.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I wanted to throw I wanted to throw
Speaker 1: this out there. This is kind of a tangent off
Speaker 1: of what's going on. But you know, we're talking about
Speaker 1: the Mueller investigation. Of course it's done it over with
Speaker 1: months ago. But we see a attorney, we see the
Speaker 1: Jerry Nadler continuing to push for this information and this
Speaker 1: broad based information from Donald Trump. I don't think a
Speaker 1: lot of people realize that Jerry Nader's son Michael, works
Speaker 1: for a law firm in California. Gun is one of
Speaker 1: the partners that I don't remember the other one, but anyhow,
Speaker 1: they have several lawsuits against Donald Trump. My question is,
Speaker 1: or my point is I his Nadler using or abusing
Speaker 1: his authority in Congress and his connections in Congress to
Speaker 1: do discovery on behalf of his son's lawsuit and maybe
Speaker 1: have access to information that his son's firm may not
Speaker 1: be able to acquire through their normal discovery. That's interesting
Speaker 1: traditional and congressional authority to excuse them to scue the field.
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is that Jerry Nadler's son works
Speaker 1: for a law firm that is suing the president. What
Speaker 1: are they suing him about? The Actually, the firm have
Speaker 1: three lawsuits, and I can't give you the specifics. I'm
Speaker 1: driving home from work and I'm not as sharp as
Speaker 1: they used to be. But see me how they have
Speaker 1: three lawsuits? And I just wondered if Nadler doesn't have
Speaker 1: a conflict of interest in all of these subpoenas and
Speaker 1: all of this information he and his colleagues are seeking
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump. That is a great point and it
Speaker 1: would not surprise me. Jerry Nadler is he is the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst. And you know what you do
Speaker 1: find though, and this is such a great point. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for your call. Again, the numbers eight
Speaker 1: four four nine two eight two five that you find
Speaker 1: these politicians that use their position of influence to enrich
Speaker 1: their family, not just themselves, so that would not surprise
Speaker 1: me at all. We got to take a break. This
Speaker 1: is our equivalent of open line Friday. Eight four four
Speaker 1: nine hundred two eight two five. Call in, We'd love
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Charlie Kirk filling in for the

Speaker 1: This is Charlie Kirk filling in for the Great Bucks Sexton,
Speaker 1: host of The Charlie Kirk Show, founder of Turning Point
Speaker 1: USA TPUSA dot com. On the front lines of America's
Speaker 1: culture war. We are fighting for free markets and limited
Speaker 1: government all across the country. Teen hundred high school and
Speaker 1: college campuses across the country TPUSA dot com. We are
Speaker 1: taking calls. Eight four four nine hundred two eight two five.
Speaker 1: Is the number. Eight four four nine hundred two eight
Speaker 1: two five. Brian from Ohio. You there that a quod question, Buddy,
Speaker 1: What do you think is going to be the turning
Speaker 1: point that America realizes that what is it going to
Speaker 1: take for people to realize that liberals are the most
Speaker 1: hypocritical people on the planet. Well, it's it seems as
Speaker 1: if there's already that boatload of evidence, isn't there. It's
Speaker 1: liberals say they hate private schools, but send their kids
Speaker 1: to private schools anyway. They hate walls, get live in
Speaker 1: gated communities. They say they hate guns, but walk around
Speaker 1: with armed guards. Sure, it seems like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of evidence anywhere, doesn't it. There's a whole bunch of it.
Speaker 1: But people still seem to fall them for some reason,
Speaker 1: and it just seems like they keep getting more and
Speaker 1: more extreme with it. I totally agree. Well, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for the call. And we find this all
Speaker 1: the time, that the left destroys everything that it touches.
Speaker 1: There's only one thing that you remember from this show.
Speaker 1: Just remember that the left will destroy everything that it touches.
Speaker 1: I'll just give you one example going on right now,
Speaker 1: women's sports. Women's sports. The left has destroyed women's sports.
Speaker 1: Men who think they are women. Biological men who think
Speaker 1: they are women should not be able to compete against
Speaker 1: biological women. This is something that should be agreed upon.
Speaker 1: Women's sports is one of the great institutions in America.
Speaker 1: And now men which have thirty forty fifty sixty percent
Speaker 1: more muscle mass and testosterone who think they are women
Speaker 1: compete against women. Now you have these huge men that
Speaker 1: are transgender, so they say they are women all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, competing against these women in sports, and they're
Speaker 1: winning these competitions. They're winning the state championships, they're winning everything,
Speaker 1: and we're just supposed to be okay with that. The
Speaker 1: left destroys everything everything. The Left destroys, it touches, It
Speaker 1: destroys cities, it destroys schools. Chicago has not had a
Speaker 1: Republican mayor since nineteen thirty one. I am from Chicago.
Speaker 1: Chicago has not had a Republican mayoron over nearly one
Speaker 1: hundred years. It's been nine eighty nine years, ninety years.
Speaker 1: The left controls our inner cities, the left controls our schools,
Speaker 1: the left controls the media, the left controls Hollywood. So
Speaker 1: what will it take. Hopefully it will take people to
Speaker 1: actually look in front and see the facts for themselves.

Speaker 1: Press subscribe. We have such amazing talented people at Turning
Speaker 1: Point USA and last hour you heard from Rob Smith,
Speaker 1: who's one of our spokesperson spokespeople. He does an amazing
Speaker 1: job and one of just the creative mastermind behind so
Speaker 1: much energy and so much enthusiasm at Turning Point USA.
Speaker 1: As a dear friend, he is our chief creative officer.
Speaker 1: I've been a fan of his for some time, and
Speaker 1: he recently joined our team at Turning Point USA. I
Speaker 1: believe he speaks the language the Internet better than anybody
Speaker 1: else I have ever come across. He does such an
Speaker 1: extraordinary job of capturing moments and countering narratives and creating
Speaker 1: movements through video and through still images. And then is
Speaker 1: none other than Benny Johnson. Benny Johnson is the chief
Speaker 1: creative officer at Turning Point USA. Benny, how are you
Speaker 1: doing today? How'm I gonna let you keep going? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's pretty amazing to hear my boss just go on
Speaker 1: like that to a live audience. I mean, that's wonderful. Well,
Speaker 1: you just continue. I'm not going to bop you. I
Speaker 1: don't plan to stop. I mean every word, And for
Speaker 1: those of you listening, Benny Johnson has just been such
Speaker 1: an amazing addition to our team at Turning Point USA,
Speaker 1: and He actually has a viral video that came out
Speaker 1: yesterday which was so funny, released at Turning Point USA
Speaker 1: on our YouTube channel. You can check it out. Benny,
Speaker 1: why don't you tell the audience what that video was,
Speaker 1: a little bit of the reaction you've been getting and
Speaker 1: what drove you to do it. Sure, so this is
Speaker 1: a video that was shot inside of the fourteenth District
Speaker 1: in New York and taking kind of a step back.
Speaker 1: One of the best parts about Turning Point is the
Speaker 1: ability to actually go to where the news is happening
Speaker 1: and think creatively outside of the box of a typical
Speaker 1: publisher about how to tell a better story. And we
Speaker 1: were working really hard at Turning Point to do that.
Speaker 1: One of the more interesting things looking at polling is
Speaker 1: that even though you see people like Bernie Sanders running
Speaker 1: for president and Alexandria Ocazio Cortez being ardent socialists in
Speaker 1: the public arena, you see them saying that socialism is great,
Speaker 1: that their ideas are popular. However, polling suggests otherwise many Americans,
Speaker 1: the vast plurality of Americans, do not agree with socialism,
Speaker 1: would not consider themselves socialists, and do not want socialisms
Speaker 1: here in the country, it's something like ninety to ten,
Speaker 1: and so they are certainly on the losing side of
Speaker 1: public opinion. So, as elected members of our government, what
Speaker 1: do their constituents think? So we went to Alexandriocazio Cortez
Speaker 1: AOC's district, the fourteenth District of New York. It's a
Speaker 1: small nugget of a district up above Manhattan. It includes
Speaker 1: a Storia and some of the brons. And I went
Speaker 1: onto the street and asked her constituents, what do you
Speaker 1: think of socialism? It's not a trick question, not even
Speaker 1: a hard question. There was no gotcha answers. It's just
Speaker 1: a plain and simple and I asked for two and
Speaker 1: a half hours, standing in what is essentially the heart
Speaker 1: of her district. And the responses I got were pretty shocking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean some of them are pretty amazing. And you
Speaker 1: can check out the VIDEOTPUSA dot com or go to
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, Turning Point USA. So talk about a
Speaker 1: little bit of the answers you got, Benny and the reaction.
Speaker 1: The video has gone totally viral, already has three hundred
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand views, where Benny actually talks to constituents in
Speaker 1: the fourteenth Congressional district. It seems like she has an
Speaker 1: Amazon sized problem, wouldn't you say? Yeah, The reference, of course,
Speaker 1: being that AOC was beating the drama against having twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand new jobs coming to her district because Amazon
Speaker 1: is a big I've never seen someone want I've never
Speaker 1: seen someone want jobs out of their district as much
Speaker 1: as Alexandria Causier Cortes. I've never seen someone fight to
Speaker 1: have less wealth and prosperity in their district as much
Speaker 1: as AOC. It's pretty incredible, But it's pretty long brand, Charlie.
Speaker 1: It's pretty on brand actually for a socialist. Do you
Speaker 1: want that? In fact, everywhere socialism has been tried, that
Speaker 1: is precisely the result. So let's go. But AOC is
Speaker 1: unquestionably the most popular socialist in America. I think that's
Speaker 1: it's you wouldn't make an argument otherwise. Let's go to
Speaker 1: her district and find out she's democratically elected. Let's find
Speaker 1: out what they think. To every person, Charlie, I am
Speaker 1: telling you every person except for one guy said socialism's garbage.
Speaker 1: Over a dozen people. We just chatted with him on
Speaker 1: the street. They were going chewing from work, they were
Speaker 1: opening up their own shops, they were business owners, chefs, students,
Speaker 1: and every one of them, not a single person advocated
Speaker 1: for socialism. Many of them had ardently advocated against it,
Speaker 1: including a man from Yugoslavia who explained to us that
Speaker 1: you grew up under socialism and that its sucked and
Speaker 1: he fled to escape. Socialism comes to America and then
Speaker 1: poor guy must have the worst luck in the world.
Speaker 1: AOC becomes a representative. It's like he flees socialism, then
Speaker 1: he has a representative under it. So Benny talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about the creative vision that you're doing at
Speaker 1: Turning Point. Usay, some of the videos that you're making,
Speaker 1: just your whole direction that you're helping take our organization.
Speaker 1: And if you will just talk about your journeys going
Speaker 1: to some of these campuses and the energy and the
Speaker 1: excitement that you see of these college and high school
Speaker 1: conservatives that are fighting back against the left. I had
Speaker 1: before Benny answers this, I just have to say, no
Speaker 1: one is better at adding comedy and timeliness to the
Speaker 1: creative process than Benny Johnson. So many talked a little
Speaker 1: about that, if you will, Oh, thank you, Charlie. I, well, okay,
Speaker 1: so let's look at this video. In this video, I
Speaker 1: spoke of a man who said, I love socialism. I said,
Speaker 1: that's fascinating. This was in the middle of aoc'st This
Speaker 1: is fascinating. Tell me about it. Why And he said, well,
Speaker 1: because everyone will be equal. The man happened to be
Speaker 1: wearing extremely expensive glasses. You could tell their designer glasses.
Speaker 1: So I asked them about it. Journs out. He has
Speaker 1: Armani glasses custom made for him. He's a very successful author.
Speaker 1: He is a rich man. And he got into a
Speaker 1: Mercedes three hundred class and drove off. That is proper
Speaker 1: socialism right there. And we actually had a really interesting exchange.
Speaker 1: It was humorous. I wouldn't mean I wouldn't yell at him.
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. That's in my style. But it's funny.
Speaker 1: He was. He was laughing. He was laughing, as you know,
Speaker 1: he was laughing a lot, because honestly, it is it's
Speaker 1: called limit you know, Limen's liberalism or you know, or
Speaker 1: or the classic socialist mentality that I will prosper. And
Speaker 1: I could just say I want everyone else to prosper,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to share any of my wealth
Speaker 1: of anyone else. The funny part about it is that
Speaker 1: pointing out all the expensive things that he owned right
Speaker 1: there on that little video just sort of showed the
Speaker 1: comedy of the moment and a little bit of the
Speaker 1: hypocrisy of his point. So on college campuses, we're doing
Speaker 1: this across the nation. I just wrapped up a speaking
Speaker 1: tour called The Left Can't Mean and the speaking was
Speaker 1: a century talking about how great the right is that
Speaker 1: and making funny memes and communicating quickly and elegantly through
Speaker 1: visual images and through shuma. And an interesting moment that
Speaker 1: happened on a college campus was a Black lives a
Speaker 1: swarm of Black Lives Matter? Does has happened to you you, Charlie.
Speaker 1: I've seen plenty of viral videos of this happened to you?
Speaker 1: A swarm of leftist protesters came to protest made this
Speaker 1: was from a group from Black Lives Matter, and they
Speaker 1: yelled and they screamed at an event that I had
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. And then you know, some of them marched off,
Speaker 1: but some of them wanted to have a debate. And
Speaker 1: so the question that I asked was, why are you upset?
Speaker 1: What makes you angry, and one voice, truly they all said,
Speaker 1: criminal justice, criminal justice reform. We believe that the criminal
Speaker 1: justice system unfairly targets populations of Americans and then goes
Speaker 1: after them. And I said, whoa, whoa, pump the brakes.
Speaker 1: So you don't trust the government to operate effectively, and
Speaker 1: you think the government can be weaponized for the evil
Speaker 1: means those who are in charge. Wait a second, you
Speaker 1: and I have a lot gone. So would you want
Speaker 1: the government to be more in charge of your healthcare?
Speaker 1: Would you like the government to be more in charge
Speaker 1: of your pocketbook? Would you like the government to be
Speaker 1: more in charge of your day to day life and
Speaker 1: what you can and cannot do? And resoundingly, these protesters,
Speaker 1: these left this art and let this protesters said no, no, no, yes.
Speaker 1: And so I guess, Charlie, if you're asking what we're
Speaker 1: doing on what we're doing at turning point, ultimately, is
Speaker 1: it trying to create that understanding that there is a
Speaker 1: huge bend diagram of ideas that we share as young
Speaker 1: and energetic people, and mistrust of the federal government is
Speaker 1: one of them. And so let's kee on that and
Speaker 1: explain to these kids who may have never heard this before,
Speaker 1: heard our conservative viewpoint before, that we have a lot
Speaker 1: in common, makes you consider our ideas as well. Well,
Speaker 1: I love that, Benny. And so what do you find, Benny,
Speaker 1: when you go to these college campuses when you get
Speaker 1: this some of the liberal opposition. Do you feel as
Speaker 1: if they have been properly exposed to these ideas or
Speaker 1: do you think that they've just been told to be
Speaker 1: opposed to them in the first place. Well, a wise
Speaker 1: man once said that the left hate the idea, that
Speaker 1: there are other ideas quotable name Zame's Ryan fly Kirk.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's really aptly Apthletes said, because
Speaker 1: they are not exposed. They are not exposed Charlie to
Speaker 1: the concept that if you are if you are suspicious
Speaker 1: that the government is not being able to implement criminal
Speaker 1: the criminal process fairly and effectively, then let's extrapolate that. Well,
Speaker 1: then how why would you give them fair like why
Speaker 1: would you trust them to administer healthcare fairly, or administer
Speaker 1: taxation fairly, or administer wealth theft fairly, or administer truly
Speaker 1: like any singular thing that they're trying to college, uh,
Speaker 1: college tuition reform or the SATs that's a huge scandal
Speaker 1: right now. That is deeply unfair and deeply corrupt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that, Benny. I was going
Speaker 1: to do a segment on that, but just while you
Speaker 1: have the topic up, talk a little bit about this
Speaker 1: sat nonsense about the adversity score based on race, if
Speaker 1: you will. Yeah. So, there are students who are being
Speaker 1: discriminated against. There's no other way to say it. They
Speaker 1: are being discriminated against wholesale because they meet certain metrics
Speaker 1: or don't meet certain metrics having to do with income
Speaker 1: or where they were born. You talk about the definition
Speaker 1: of discrimination, the actual definition of discrimination is taking a
Speaker 1: large segment of the population, not an individual, Charlie, not
Speaker 1: an individual, a large segment of the population and classifying
Speaker 1: them because of a certain trait. And then it happened
Speaker 1: throughout human history. Some of the most horrific horrors of
Speaker 1: the world, some of the most horrific horrors and world
Speaker 1: history have happened because people in power lumped large groups
Speaker 1: of people together by one identifying factor and then discriminated
Speaker 1: against them. It's exactly right, and said you are you
Speaker 1: are less than human, or you deserve to be treated
Speaker 1: differently or better or worse or whatever, just a different
Speaker 1: set of treatment based on something that people cannot control,
Speaker 1: that is inherently prejudiced skin color or gender being to
Speaker 1: that come to mind, and further religion. For the sake
Speaker 1: of this example, the ACT and the SAT, the privilege
Speaker 1: score is based on something that you have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with, where you grew up, how rich your parents are,
Speaker 1: and that they're not asking those questions, they're just assuming.
Speaker 1: So they're going to take a guy like me who
Speaker 1: is raised in Iowa and just assume, based on the
Speaker 1: demographics of Iowa, that I'm a privileged kid who never struggled.
Speaker 1: And that's so deeply, deeply unfair, and it is basic bias,
Speaker 1: and it is basic discrimination. By any other name, it'd
Speaker 1: be called that. It's called a privilege score. And right
Speaker 1: now it's a huge scandal among college admissions. So what's happening.
Speaker 1: Just everyone understands the SAT. The college boy is instituting
Speaker 1: a new adversity score, for lack of a better term,
Speaker 1: and this gets no coverage in the press. That is
Speaker 1: and again it's just I just I just typed it
Speaker 1: in to a search engine that will not be named. See,
Speaker 1: I don't use their name, Benny, I don't need, given,
Speaker 1: need to give these search engine tech companies more free advertising.
Speaker 1: I think their names out pretty good though. But Atlantic exactly, Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's a fetch, It's the go fetch one whatever. Right,
Speaker 1: the reasoning behind the SAT's new disadvantage score from the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: of course, and um, we're gonna talk more about that
Speaker 1: in a second. I got Benny Johnson, chief creative Officer,
Speaker 1: Attorney Point USATPUSA dot com. Check out the website, Benny,
Speaker 1: hang on for another segment and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, This is Charlie Kirk filling in for the
Speaker 1: great Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Radio Show. I'm
Speaker 1: joined here by my friend and fellow patriot, Benny Johnson,
Speaker 1: chief creative officer at Turning Point USA. So, Benny, I
Speaker 1: want to get your comment on this latest news here
Speaker 1: of Alexandria A. Kazio Cortez. She just has a fun
Speaker 1: name to say, right, Alexandria Kazio Cortez and her in
Speaker 1: the last week really declaring war on the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: and in the Democrat primary saying I'll be damned if
Speaker 1: we don't allow the people that have screwed up our
Speaker 1: environment to continue to run the environment. What do you
Speaker 1: think we as conservatives, how do you think we should
Speaker 1: continue to criticize and critique and challenge Alexandria Kazio Cortez.
Speaker 1: That's a good accept there, Charlie very good. I believe
Speaker 1: that so much of what she's done has been honey badgering.
Speaker 1: She's just the honey badger on the Democratic side, and
Speaker 1: the honey badger just digs and digs and digs and digs.
Speaker 1: She should have never wanted to primary Joe Crowley, right,
Speaker 1: he was a very powerful man in the in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, he was in leadership in the House, and
Speaker 1: she primaried him and she won. And so she's not
Speaker 1: going to stop now. She's not going to stop taking
Speaker 1: on the old, the white, the patriarchy inside of the the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. The reason why is because that's what her
Speaker 1: id is. She is here to upset the apple cart
Speaker 1: inside of the party. And when she sees someone who
Speaker 1: is the same age as Joe Crowley gaining steam inside
Speaker 1: of the presidential election, someone who has been in public service,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who's been in public service for decades. I
Speaker 1: think he's on his fifth decade of being in on
Speaker 1: the public dole. He's a lifelong politician. Now she views
Speaker 1: him as responsible for the vast majority of problems that
Speaker 1: she's trying to solve. So some of it is some
Speaker 1: of it is sit back and pop your favorite buttery
Speaker 1: popcorn and just watch the fireworks. Because the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: right now is a party without a soul. It's a
Speaker 1: party without an actual ideology that binds and unites, and
Speaker 1: it's going through an enormous upheaval and an identity crisis
Speaker 1: that doesn't get reported on often, but a proper schism
Speaker 1: in the older unionite the older unionized workers who made
Speaker 1: up the rust belt to the old Democratic Party, your
Speaker 1: father's Democratic Party, they might say, and the newer woke
Speaker 1: SJW Campus Democratic Party, liberal campus woke activists that we
Speaker 1: see day in and day out on college campuses, which
Speaker 1: is the new soul of the party. And they're at
Speaker 1: They're at war. It's a bloody civil war too, That's
Speaker 1: exactly right. So Benny Tuck in a couple of minutes
Speaker 1: a way of remaining here, kind of what you see
Speaker 1: out of these young liberal activists, What is driving them
Speaker 1: and what is the best way that people listening to
Speaker 1: this parents can help fight back against the liberal and
Speaker 1: doctor nation happening on our high school and college campuses. Yeah, Charlie,
Speaker 1: I'm i'm. I would like to claim myself an expert
Speaker 1: at memes. I love memes. I love the way that
Speaker 1: memes communicate with young people. The Left can't mean because
Speaker 1: they have no sense of humor and they can't communicate
Speaker 1: their ideas effectively in short sound bite. One of the
Speaker 1: best memes that talk about the modern Democratic Party of
Speaker 1: a meaning called the NPC meme non Playable Character, and
Speaker 1: it's pretty much just a gray faced, robotic character that
Speaker 1: repeats what is told to them by a computer program.
Speaker 1: And the NPC mean really irritates the modern left because
Speaker 1: they want to fancy themselves free thinkers. What actually what
Speaker 1: the modern left is is simple, simple reporputation from CNN
Speaker 1: and m That's right, yep, Well, Benny, they're fed. I
Speaker 1: just want to thank you again, Benny. You are just
Speaker 1: a great talent at Turning Point USATPUSA dot com. Keep

Speaker 1: nine to eight two five and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, this is Charlie Kirk filling in for Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton on the Buck Sexton Radio Show. Honored to be here.
Speaker 1: I'm the founder of Turning Point USATPUSA dot com, the
Speaker 1: nation's largest student movement dedicated to educating, empowering, and organizing
Speaker 1: students around the values of free markets and limited government.
Speaker 1: Give us a call. It is open line Friday to
Speaker 1: use the rush lumbo xpression eight four four nine hundred
Speaker 1: two eight two five. That is eight four four nine
Speaker 1: hundred two eight two five. President Trump is on a roll.
Speaker 1: His approval ratings are going up. You just see the
Speaker 1: amazing success he is delivering for our country on every
Speaker 1: single front. Daily lowest ever Black unemployment, lowest ever, Hispanic unemployment,
Speaker 1: lowest ever Asian American unemployment, lowest women on female unemployment
Speaker 1: in sixty years. And this headline from CNBC, three states
Speaker 1: including two big ones for the two and twenty election
Speaker 1: just sent to new lows for unemployment. You see this
Speaker 1: amazing trend that is happening, and the President is delivering
Speaker 1: these results at a record pace. It is amazing what
Speaker 1: he is able to do to pick up steam in
Speaker 1: these states and be able to create jobs for the
Speaker 1: middle parts of this country that have been so disenfranchised
Speaker 1: by the media elites. Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have now
Speaker 1: set new all time record low unemployment. This decline came
Speaker 1: the same month the national average fell to three point
Speaker 1: six percent, the lowest ever since nineteen sixty nine. This
Speaker 1: is a huge, huge deal. Three states, including two states
Speaker 1: that the President has to succeed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. If
Speaker 1: we had an honest press, if we had an honest media,
Speaker 1: the president would be at a seventy percent approval rating.
Speaker 1: The economy is roaring, wages are finally going up, jobs
Speaker 1: are coming back to our country. The President still has
Speaker 1: to really get Congress's approval to be able to solve
Speaker 1: the immigration crisis happening in our country. We have hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of illegals passing in to our country and
Speaker 1: the southern border. You look at the success that the
Speaker 1: President has been able to make on the foreign policy front,
Speaker 1: it is absolutely his story and it is game changing
Speaker 1: please share your thoughts our phone numbers eight four four
Speaker 1: nine hundred two eight two five. This is Charlie Kirk
Speaker 1: filling in for Buck Sexton TP USA dot com. You
Speaker 1: keep reading this, these headlines about a supposed trade war
Speaker 1: with China and Amazon, this superpower Amazon is right in
Speaker 1: the middle of it. Amazon is now one of the
Speaker 1: most valuable companies in the world, owned by the world's
Speaker 1: richest man, Jeff Bezos, and they are the ultimate chrony capitalists.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake. Do you know that Amazon right now
Speaker 1: is up for a one hundred billion dollar contract ten
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year from the federal government. Our tax
Speaker 1: dollars could be funding the world's wealthiest company. Why would
Speaker 1: we do something like that. That is silly, It is backwards,
Speaker 1: and it is wrong that our hard earned tax dollars
Speaker 1: should go subsidize one of the most valuable companies in
Speaker 1: the world. The richest man in the world should be
Speaker 1: getting US taxpayer dollars. The richest man in the world
Speaker 1: should be getting US taxpayer support. It does not compute,
Speaker 1: does not make any sense. And this is one of
Speaker 1: the key distinctions that I want to make that there
Speaker 1: is a fundamental difference between capitalism and cronyism. Many of
Speaker 1: the Democrats running for president rail against capitalism, when in
Speaker 1: reality they are really railing against cronyism. I don't support cronyism.
Speaker 1: The president does not support cronyism. Anyone on the center
Speaker 1: right does not support cronyism. Cronyism is using favors and
Speaker 1: access to political power, hiring the right lobbyists to be
Speaker 1: able to get government contracts and to be able to
Speaker 1: enrich yourself. Capitalism is having a good idea absent of
Speaker 1: government intervention, employing people, creating value, and being able to
Speaker 1: succeed in a market economy. Capitalism is absent government. Cronyism
Speaker 1: is using government, and far too often those two things
Speaker 1: get convoluted, those lines get blurred where we find ourselves
Speaker 1: having to defend with the Democrats call capitalism when in
Speaker 1: reality it is cronyism. And in the midst of this
Speaker 1: trade war, alleged trade war with China, just newsflash. We
Speaker 1: have been in a trade war with China for the
Speaker 1: last fifty years and they've been the only ones fighting.
Speaker 1: They have declared economic war on our country. They have
Speaker 1: declared economic catastrophe in our steel industry, with our workers,
Speaker 1: and we as a country have taken it for far
Speaker 1: too long. We as a country have allowed China to
Speaker 1: run roughshod over Middle America, over manufacturing. They steal our
Speaker 1: intellectual property, They steal our cyber hack our cybergrid, they
Speaker 1: steal data. Now are bidding for our satellite systems. They
Speaker 1: are building islands in the South China Sea. They are
Speaker 1: expanding their global empire all throughout Sub Saharan Africa and
Speaker 1: all over South America. And we as a country have
Speaker 1: to get very smart and very tough with China. They
Speaker 1: have used and abused our country for so long. They
Speaker 1: are the greatest enemy to the United States of America.
Speaker 1: China has gone unchecked for far too long, and we
Speaker 1: as a country have to get serious about the threat
Speaker 1: of China in our country. And this is the perfect
Speaker 1: time to be able to put China in check. This
Speaker 1: is the perfect time to put China on notice. This
Speaker 1: is the opportunity. Because I'm just reading another headline right
Speaker 1: now from CNBC. US consumer sentiment surges to highest level
Speaker 1: in fifteen years. This is These are amazing economic success
Speaker 1: and results that is keep pouring in, one after the
Speaker 1: other after the other. Record breaking economic success three point
Speaker 1: two percent GDP growth, lowest ever, Black unemployment lowest ever,
Speaker 1: Latino unemployment lowest ever Asian American u employment. Highest consumer
Speaker 1: sentiment in fifty years, highest manufacturing sentiment in thirty years,
Speaker 1: record GDP growth, Wages finally going up. Wages now the
Speaker 1: average wage in America's twenty seven dollars an hour under Obama.
Speaker 1: It was near twenty four dollars an hour, and it
Speaker 1: is climbing. It will soon hit thirty dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: which will be a total record. The Trump tax cut
Speaker 1: has helped Middle America. The Trump tax cut has helped
Speaker 1: expand jobs and opportunity deregulation. Donald Trump present promised to
Speaker 1: cut one regulation for every cut two regulations every one
Speaker 1: regulation that was proposed. He has cut twenty two regulations
Speaker 1: for every one regulation that was proposed. America is now
Speaker 1: energy independent for the first time in our history. We
Speaker 1: are now exporting more oil than we are importing. Think
Speaker 1: about that, we are exporting more oil than we are importing.
Speaker 1: We have more oil in our country, more natural gas
Speaker 1: in our country than almost any other country in the world,
Speaker 1: even more than Saudi Arabia, even more than Iran, even
Speaker 1: more than Russia, and thanks to fracking and new technology,
Speaker 1: we are able to access that those natural resources in
Speaker 1: a record capacity. And yet it seems as if the
Speaker 1: left continues to try to misrepresent the facts around the
Speaker 1: Trump presidency. Jim from Greenville, Tennessee, would love to hear
Speaker 1: from you. Happy Friday. Thanks for calling into the show, Charlie.
Speaker 1: It's an honor. I've been watching you from from day
Speaker 1: one turning point. Literally, I've been following you guys from
Speaker 1: day one from Graham Allen, Kansas, Allen's the whole nine yards.
Speaker 1: You're doing a great job, sir. You're an awesome patriot.
Speaker 1: Please keep doing what you're doing. I just I can't.
Speaker 1: There's not enough accolades out there to throw at you.
Speaker 1: I rank you up there with the Shapiros and Stephen
Speaker 1: Crowder and Reuben the whole nine yards. Man, you're well
Speaker 1: doing an awesome job. Thank you so much, and that
Speaker 1: means that means so much, Jim, and thank you for
Speaker 1: calling ye come from the heart. I'm good. I'm forty
Speaker 1: years old, so I'm a little older than you. But
Speaker 1: what you the the knowledge that you're putting out there
Speaker 1: for people and the common sense which unfortunately isn't very common,
Speaker 1: is astronomical and you're I just literally I can't can't
Speaker 1: give you enough accolades what you were saying about China. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's been Kim. I blame this personally on Clinton because
Speaker 1: I'm from East Tennessee, UM, a little small town Greenville, Tennessee. Uh.
Speaker 1: And when NAFTA was first enacted by Clinton. Uh, I
Speaker 1: watched factory tank literally maybe six months to a year
Speaker 1: after after that was all enacted. Tank and it and
Speaker 1: it bombed my county. And I saw people left and
Speaker 1: right losing their jobs because there was no factories because
Speaker 1: of because of NAFTA. UM. And and for for Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: who I love to stand up Finally we finally have
Speaker 1: someone standing up China because he used to see made
Speaker 1: in America everywhere and it wasn't outrageously expensive. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: a little more expensive now because China got the foot.
Speaker 1: I'll give you one great example, char one great example.
Speaker 1: There used to be a line of work called scrappy
Speaker 1: you could you know, I knew guys that made a
Speaker 1: good living at going around. I remember hearing about this, Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: when when China flooded our market with cheap metals, it
Speaker 1: lost those jobs. Those guys no longer exist. You used
Speaker 1: to be able to crush a car, and I'm just
Speaker 1: using a car as an example. You guys would take
Speaker 1: in truckloads of metal and make good money. But you
Speaker 1: used to be able to crush a car for for
Speaker 1: ten dollars a hundred okay or no, yeah, yeah, ten
Speaker 1: dollars for one hundred pounds, and you would make decent
Speaker 1: money at that. Um, not everybody, but but guys had
Speaker 1: a niche for that. Now you're you're talking to three
Speaker 1: and four dollars one hundred pounds just because of China.
Speaker 1: And now that we have a president, they're standing up,
Speaker 1: um and and bucking the system as far as as
Speaker 1: you know, go to Walmart. Well, I totally agree, Jim.
Speaker 1: And look, here's here's what's here's it's really And I'm
Speaker 1: a free market guy, and I'm sure you are too,
Speaker 1: but we we have not had free trade with China.
Speaker 1: We've had China trade. We have not had free trade.
Speaker 1: We have had a trade deal that benefits They're cheating
Speaker 1: and their lying. And look, I'll tell you this. I
Speaker 1: will pay more for clothes, I will pay more for
Speaker 1: gadgets if it means that fair and decent people in
Speaker 1: Tennessee have jobs, I will pay more for products, will
Speaker 1: I'll have less stuff. I think we as a country
Speaker 1: have been hypnotized to believe that piles of garbage in
Speaker 1: our garage are going to bring us happiness. And I
Speaker 1: think that we as a country I have to get
Speaker 1: serious tough on China and say, you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: I need less garbage than I'm never going to use
Speaker 1: less piles of stuff that I'm going to throw away
Speaker 1: so that we can have a cohesive country built around
Speaker 1: cultural values. And I think you just hit you just
Speaker 1: hit it right on that head. How China has destroyed
Speaker 1: these small towns and what no one talks about. They say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we have access to cheaper goods. First of all, that
Speaker 1: probably is right on the surface, but how much stuff
Speaker 1: do we actually need? You? I mean, I have cartons
Speaker 1: of stuff where that I've ward once that was all
Speaker 1: made in China. And how many jobs that lose, how
Speaker 1: many textile industries that went out of business. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm only trying to buy clothes that are made in
Speaker 1: American Now, I'm trying to actually practice what I preach.
Speaker 1: And in addition to that, Gym. I just want to
Speaker 1: reinforce another point you made here. Donald Trump is changing
Speaker 1: the game when it comes to China. China has ripped
Speaker 1: this country off with trade. And again, I'm a free
Speaker 1: trade guy, but do you know what trade really is.
Speaker 1: It means that you're both benefiting from the transaction. And
Speaker 1: when an entire portion of the American population loses dignity
Speaker 1: and lose his work so that we can have more
Speaker 1: garbage of crap in our garage, I don't that's not
Speaker 1: free trade to me whatsoever. And they are laughing all
Speaker 1: the way to build a super military in opposition to
Speaker 1: freedom and liberty. They don't believe in freedom of speech,
Speaker 1: they don't believe in freedom expression. They don't believe freedom
Speaker 1: of religion. Thank you so much for the kind words,
Speaker 1: my friend. Keep following Turning Point USATPUSA dot com. We're

Speaker 1: Kirkshaw and Apple Podcasts and we'll be right back. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: This is Charlie Kirk filling in for the great Buck Sexton,
Speaker 1: founder of Turning Point USATPUSA dot com. Host of the
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirkshow podcast. So you can go to Apple Podcasts
Speaker 1: type in Charlie Kirkshow. Press subscribe really helps us out. Well,
Speaker 1: it's actually happening. All shows must die. It really does
Speaker 1: kind of come full circle. Game of Thrones is coming
Speaker 1: to an end this Sunday. I promised. I promised all
Speaker 1: my listeners that are listening, I will only do one
Speaker 1: segment and a short segment on Game of Thrones. I
Speaker 1: will just do a singular segment on Game of Thrones. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan. For those of
Speaker 1: you that aren't, I highly recommend you go back and
Speaker 1: watch the eight seasons. That's right, eight seasons. It is
Speaker 1: such phenomenal television. It deals with that. If I had
Speaker 1: to really kind of nail down the big themes, if
Speaker 1: you will, of Game of Thrones, one of them is
Speaker 1: what does loyalty actually mean? And who are you loyal to?
Speaker 1: Second of which is family and what does it mean
Speaker 1: to be part of a family? And the third of
Speaker 1: which is loyalty is who are you actually loyal? I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: The third one is what does your word mean? That's
Speaker 1: the third one is your word good? Because they keep
Speaker 1: on saying throughout the series, you have my word, you
Speaker 1: have my word, you have my word, as if it
Speaker 1: is the word. Actually you're bond. So there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of hate out there. People have been saying, oh,
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones went off the rails. It's horrible. It's
Speaker 1: now that all this terrible character development, they screwed up,
Speaker 1: the character arcs, all these I actually love it. I
Speaker 1: loved I've loved this season. It has been captivating and
Speaker 1: has been well written. It has been engaging. I enjoyed
Speaker 1: that they got rid of I'm okay old. I have
Speaker 1: to say this first spoiler alert if you haven't yet
Speaker 1: seen a spoiler alert, spoiler spoiler spoiler sport. I've gotten
Speaker 1: some much trouble for not doing this on my podcast.
Speaker 1: People were breaking out, and I'm going to be doing
Speaker 1: a special Charlie Kirkshow podcast right after the Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones season finale on Sunday night. I am going to
Speaker 1: be doing a special Game of Thrones podcast reacting to
Speaker 1: all eight seasons. I have loved to see the character
Speaker 1: development of Denarius Targarian. Denarius Targarian being the leader that
Speaker 1: she is slowly yet methodically turned into a brutal dictator.
Speaker 1: We have seen this happen in history so often, and
Speaker 1: people have been cheering for her to be a hero,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately that's not always realistic. When you get power
Speaker 1: over people, when you get unilateral military power, history shows
Speaker 1: us that that results in exploitation, and that results in suffering,
Speaker 1: and that results in tragedy, and that is exactly what
Speaker 1: this last episode showed us. Now, in the final episode here,
Speaker 1: what will happen? Denarius has all the power. John snow
Speaker 1: feels betrayed. Tyrian was wrong. The Lanisters are dead, Jamie
Speaker 1: and Cercy are dead, the cla Gains are no longer
Speaker 1: with us. My prediction, you know, put it on. I
Speaker 1: think Aria is going to kill Denarius. That seems to
Speaker 1: be too cliche. Everyone seems to think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: I think there might be some sort of mutually assured
Speaker 1: destruction right there. I think we're going to be very surprised.
Speaker 1: If I was Game of Thrones, I think they're going
Speaker 1: to surprise us. I think they're going to do something
Speaker 1: that we'll have ripple effects for a long time. Stay
Speaker 1: with us for the next hour. Phone numbers eight four, four,
Speaker 1: nine hundred eight two five eight four four nine hundred
Speaker 1: two eight two five Charlie KIRKTPUSA dot com. Stay with us,
Speaker 1: be right back, Buck Sexton to coding the news and
Speaker 1: disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American, bring
Speaker 1: You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Former CIA analysts remember the yet no. Hello everybody, This
Speaker 1: is Charlie Kirk filling in for the great Buck Sexton.
Speaker 1: Welcome to our three. We're having a great time, happy Friday.
Speaker 1: Buck is a great American patriot and great friend. We
Speaker 1: work with him closely here at Turning Point USA to
Speaker 1: fight America's culture war. We are on the front lines
Speaker 1: college and high school campuses, bringing the fight of American
Speaker 1: exceptionalism and free markets to those that want to hear it. Today,
Speaker 1: Bill barr And, a Fox News interview, was asked all
Speaker 1: about the Steel dossier and about some of the spying
Speaker 1: surrounding it. Let's go to cut three, dive right into
Speaker 1: it again. I don't want to speculate. What I will
Speaker 1: say is that, you know, I've been trying to get
Speaker 1: answers to questions, and I found that a lot of
Speaker 1: the answers have been inadequate. And I've also found that
Speaker 1: some of the explanations I've gotten don't hang together. So
Speaker 1: in a sense, I have more questions today than I
Speaker 1: did when I first start. Some of what things don't
Speaker 1: hang together, some of the explanations of what occurred. Why
Speaker 1: does that matter? Well, because I think people have to
Speaker 1: find out what the government was doing during that period.
Speaker 1: If we're worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason,
Speaker 1: we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their
Speaker 1: power and put their thumb on the scale. And so
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that happened, but I'm saying that we
Speaker 1: have to look at that. And what I love about
Speaker 1: Bill Barr is just his sober approach. Just here are
Speaker 1: the facts that I'm trying to find. I have no agenda.
Speaker 1: I've asked some questions. I've been underwhelmed by the answers.
Speaker 1: This guy could not be more factual. This guy cannot
Speaker 1: be driven by the pursuit of truth. And yet it
Speaker 1: seems that the Left is trying to do everything they
Speaker 1: can to misrepresent and demograge him. This guy has no
Speaker 1: agenda except doing what is right. Let's go to cut four.
Speaker 1: It's a very unusual situation to have opposition research like that,
Speaker 1: especially one that on its face had a number of
Speaker 1: clear mistakes and a somewhat jejune analysis, and to use
Speaker 1: that to get to conduct counterintelligence against an American political
Speaker 1: campaign as a strange It would be a strange development.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what role it played, but that's something
Speaker 1: we have to look at. And this is exactly why
Speaker 1: Bill Barr has been such a change of pace in
Speaker 1: the Attorney General's office versus predecessor. The predecessor would never
Speaker 1: have been able to approach the issue like he has
Speaker 1: to be able to say that here's the problem, here's
Speaker 1: how we're going to solve it, and let's just find
Speaker 1: the answers. I'd love to hear your thoughts. The phone
Speaker 1: numbers eight four four nine hundred two eight two five. Again,
Speaker 1: that's eight four four nine two eight two five. Let's
Speaker 1: go to cut six. Nancy Pelosi's response to all this.
Speaker 1: You are being heavily criticized by Democrats, by the House Speaker,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, she believes you lied under oath. What do
Speaker 1: you think of that charge? Well, I think it's a
Speaker 1: it's a laughable charge, and I think it's largely being
Speaker 1: made to try to discredit me, partly because they may
Speaker 1: be concerned about the outcome of a review of what
Speaker 1: happened during the A show. Do you hear that? That's
Speaker 1: the Attorney General implying are directly saying what we all
Speaker 1: in the conservative community have been saying for some time,
Speaker 1: that they're unhappy about a particular result from the election. Therefore,
Speaker 1: this is the way they have been acting. Essentially, this
Speaker 1: entire thing is that they're upset that Donald Trump won,
Speaker 1: and they have been using the highest levels of government
Speaker 1: to go after people that they disagree it. They've been
Speaker 1: using the highest levels of power to go after supporters
Speaker 1: and friends and allies of the Trump machine and of
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. And Nancy Pelosi. I just I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I mean, what I love is when people call her
Speaker 1: a moderate on TV, Well, she's really trying to be
Speaker 1: a moderate. It doesn't just because there are other radical
Speaker 1: people around you, it doesn't make you a moderate. Never
Speaker 1: forget that. That's one of the political laws and rules
Speaker 1: that I that I frequently say, just because there are
Speaker 1: other radical people that have popped up, it does not
Speaker 1: make you more moderate just because or in relation to them.
Speaker 1: Just because someone is advocating for the total abolition of
Speaker 1: private property and the complete destruction of our constitution and
Speaker 1: the complete deconstruction of our culture and our country, and
Speaker 1: does not mean that just because you want to do
Speaker 1: that slower or less, that you're somehow not a moderate.
Speaker 1: And Bill Barr has been the purveyor of truth. That
Speaker 1: just feels so good to finally have an Attorney general
Speaker 1: who is standing for ethical investigations, who is trying to
Speaker 1: search for answers, and who was trying to get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of this entire witch hunt of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and the weaponization of government. If you ask me, I
Speaker 1: think though, thirty million dollars that were used of taxpayer
Speaker 1: dollars should now that Bill should be slapped on the DNC.
Speaker 1: If it was not for the DNC funding the dossier,
Speaker 1: who was not for the Hillary Clinton campaign funding Docier,
Speaker 1: this never would have happened. And I understand this can
Speaker 1: be very confusing. I have some very very smart friends
Speaker 1: that even get confused about this. Let's get the phone lines.
Speaker 1: Felix from Pennsylvania, Happy Friday, what's on your mind? Hey, Charlie,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday to you. Pleasure to speak with you. You know,
Speaker 1: since you're with the Turning Point, I really haven't had
Speaker 1: a chance to look into you guys, but you know,
Speaker 1: it brings to mind, you know, the educational system in
Speaker 1: this country has been so hijacked by the left. And
Speaker 1: I'm going to be sixty years old this year, and
Speaker 1: I can tell you it goes back to elementary school,
Speaker 1: even when I was in school. Oh, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: it goes It goes decades and decades back, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: And so the work that we are doing a training
Speaker 1: Point USA is trying to deep program and trying to
Speaker 1: peel back some of the destruction that the educational power
Speaker 1: complex has done to young people and students all across
Speaker 1: the country. And in my opinion, I think that Donald
Speaker 1: president Donald Trump represents classic Norman Rockwell, a member Cone,
Speaker 1: you know, and I wonder where are going to be
Speaker 1: the future leaders who are like him, who are going
Speaker 1: to take the ryans, you know, in all levels of
Speaker 1: politics and help bring this country back on track. I
Speaker 1: fear that after he has done, you know, this country
Speaker 1: is gonna go completely down with foil it. Well, look,
Speaker 1: we're not going to let that happen, first of all,
Speaker 1: But I do share a fear that you have, and
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the call and phone numbers
Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred two eight two five. We're
Speaker 1: going to do our Russia lumba equivalent of open line
Speaker 1: Friday here. And I do agree with this that we
Speaker 1: are so blessed and so lucky to have the president.
Speaker 1: President Trump has been such a fundamental game changer for
Speaker 1: our country. And if it wasn't for him courageously fighting
Speaker 1: up against the institutional entrenched interests on both sides of
Speaker 1: the aisle, where would we be. The President moved the
Speaker 1: embassy to Jerusalem. The President canceled the irndeal. The President
Speaker 1: deregulated our economy. The President has brought peace to the
Speaker 1: Korean Peninsula. The President has held Russia in check and
Speaker 1: made m NATO better finance than ever before. The President
Speaker 1: has made immigration a focal issue, which is a crisis here.
Speaker 1: The President has oversaw the greatest economic boom in American
Speaker 1: history three point two percent GDP growth, lowest ever, black
Speaker 1: Latino and Asian unemployment. Manufacturing jobs are finally come back
Speaker 1: to this country. Wages are going up. We are seeing
Speaker 1: an era of prosperity and peace come back to our country.
Speaker 1: The President signed the Veterans Accountability Act, which allowed us
Speaker 1: to fire bad employees at the Veterans Administration that we're
Speaker 1: not doing their job. The President signed Prison Reform, which
Speaker 1: allowed us to have the capacity to peacefully re enter
Speaker 1: non violent criminals from our prison system into society, something
Speaker 1: that the left always talks about, but President Trump actually delivered.
Speaker 1: The President signed the Right to Try Act, which allows
Speaker 1: people that have terminal illnesses allowed to get waivers so
Speaker 1: they can try potentially life changing drugs and medicine. The
Speaker 1: President has signed on every single front on every single frontier,
Speaker 1: I should say, the President has been able to deliver results,
Speaker 1: even something that was brought to my attention, just what
Speaker 1: he did with the Farm Bill recently, to be able
Speaker 1: to help the hemp industry, which is really a counter
Speaker 1: to the pharmaceutical industrial complex. The pharmaceutical industry has such
Speaker 1: unbelievable power in America, and the President signed a Farm
Speaker 1: Bill that really deregulated the regulation of hemp, which brings
Speaker 1: relief to millions of Americans all across the country. And
Speaker 1: that industry is growing so quickly and so amazingly. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of medicals, there's a lot of medical studies
Speaker 1: now behind it that that's a lot better for you
Speaker 1: than some of these concocted pharmaceutical industries. And so whatever
Speaker 1: the problem might be, the President comes at it of
Speaker 1: what is best for our country. What can I do
Speaker 1: to help create jobs, create wealth, and create prosperity and
Speaker 1: advance peace for the constituents that I care about? And
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Where would we be without President Trump?
Speaker 1: And lest us not forget Neil Gorsich, Brett Kavanaugh, the
Speaker 1: hundred fifty circuit court judges that have now been in place.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, and I have in the past
Speaker 1: been very critical of Mitch McConnell, but Mitch McConnell, I
Speaker 1: don't agree with mine everything. There's some things I v
Speaker 1: immediately disagree with. I think he should have. I think
Speaker 1: you should fight a lot harder in immigration. But he
Speaker 1: has been great on judges. He has been great on Gorcich,
Speaker 1: he was great on Kavanaugh. You've got to give Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell credit on Kavanaugh, and he was great. He's been
Speaker 1: great with these Circuit court judges. And if there is
Speaker 1: an issue that you want your Senate Majority leader to
Speaker 1: be correct on, it is judges. Because past Republican Senate
Speaker 1: majority leaders have not been great on judges. The past
Speaker 1: past Republican Senate majority leaders. I can't remember the name
Speaker 1: in the early two thousands of the Republican Senate majority leader.
Speaker 1: I want to say it was Trent Lot. I could
Speaker 1: be totally mistaken there, but I will I will fact
Speaker 1: check that that past Republican Senate majority leaders had were
Speaker 1: actually yes, that he was sent. He was sent a
Speaker 1: minority leader. Trent Lott could get the exact name. Had
Speaker 1: hadn't wanted nothing to do with the kind of judges. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was Senate Majority leader, that's right. Yeah, Trent Lott
Speaker 1: was for six months and then Tom Dashell came in
Speaker 1: for that. But Trent Lott to Dashell, they wanted nothing
Speaker 1: to do with these kind of principal judges that McConnell
Speaker 1: has put in place. So I do have to give
Speaker 1: him credit for that. So our phone number is eight
Speaker 1: four four nine two eight two five. We're gonna take

Speaker 1: afraid that we are not teaching the next generation adequately
Speaker 1: these ideas or these values or these principles. Today, Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders had quite a news day. Breadline Bernie Sanders or
Speaker 1: Bolshevik Bernie Sanders. You can vote online. Go to TPUSA
Speaker 1: dot com and tell me what you think, or to
Speaker 1: CPOSA dot com and say, Charlie, I like breadline Bernie
Speaker 1: or bosh Bolshevik Bernie, Bolshevik Bernie. My co my executive
Speaker 1: producer says Bolshevik Bernie. I think we like Bolshevik Bernie better. Now. Uh.
Speaker 1: Politico dot com Bernie's mystery Soviet tapes revealed unseen by
Speaker 1: the public for three decades. A political reporter views hours
Speaker 1: of footage from his nineteen eighty eight honeymoon to the USSR.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine honeymooning to the USSR? Could you imagine
Speaker 1: being married? It's the greatest time of your life and
Speaker 1: you willingly want to go to the Soviet Union eighty eight. Newly,
Speaker 1: what Bernie Sanders is quoting from to go is in
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union with his wife Jane. That alone should
Speaker 1: be hauled. On a second, he willingly went on a
Speaker 1: celebratory trip to the Soviet Union the mood Ist festive,
Speaker 1: as the two bestowed the items of Beatles item Beatles album,
Speaker 1: a red Bernie for Burlington button. He was passing out
Speaker 1: campaign Paraphinalea. Wait, this sounds like collusion. Though, this sounds
Speaker 1: like he's interfering in our elections. He should be investigated.
Speaker 1: He should be investigated for meeting with Russians. Hold on
Speaker 1: a second, there's now more evidence that he colluded with
Speaker 1: Russia than anyone else. And it goes on here that
Speaker 1: these three and a half hours of raw, never publicly
Speaker 1: seen footage of the trip Sanders took to the Soviet
Speaker 1: Union that was his honeymoon. Political viewed the tapes this week,
Speaker 1: along with forgotten hour long footage of a TV show
Speaker 1: created by Sanders that featured the same trip at the
Speaker 1: offices of a Vermont government access channel. I mean, he
Speaker 1: has held some extraordinarily extreme positions and if you actually
Speaker 1: read some of the stuff that he used to talk about.
Speaker 1: It just it will just be stunning. I mean, such
Speaker 1: as the legalization of heroin. I mean, we got a
Speaker 1: lot of problems in our country. I don't think legalizing
Speaker 1: heroin is going to be a way to actually solve
Speaker 1: a remedy some of our problems in our country. And
Speaker 1: so it goes on this article you can find on
Speaker 1: politico dot com and you can watch the three and
Speaker 1: a half hours of bread Bolshevik Bernie Sanders Bolshevik Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders and his struggle with Marxism and the Soviet issue.
Speaker 1: He's got a red scare problem. It's just amazing to me.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Donald, if they were you want to
Speaker 1: just play it on the other foot. Could you imagine
Speaker 1: if there were tapes of Donald Trump honeymooning in the
Speaker 1: Soviet Union? Could you imagine if they were tapes of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump vacationing in the Soviet Union? It would be
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a communist? Donald Trump is. And then
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders willingly went there on a celebratory trip. He
Speaker 1: was mayor of Burlington. What is with all these mayors?
Speaker 1: Booker was mayor, Boo Boodhedge was mayor. And this was
Speaker 1: during the time while we were fighting the Soviet Union
Speaker 1: in the Cold War and the quote from the political article.
Speaker 1: This video also paints a fuller picture of why Sanders
Speaker 1: ventured to the land of America's number one enemy in
Speaker 1: the midst of the Cold War, the anti war idealism
Speaker 1: that fueled his journey, and what he found out when
Speaker 1: he got there. I mean, did he enjoy the famine?
Speaker 1: Maybe it was the suffering or the poverty that he
Speaker 1: really enjoyed, or the lack of freedom or the inability
Speaker 1: to criticize the government. What exactly did Bernie Sanders enjoy
Speaker 1: when he's honeymooned in the Soviet Union? What exactly did
Speaker 1: he find appealing? And and kind of to connect all this,
Speaker 1: the Democrat National Committee today finance chair of firms Neutrality
Speaker 1: in response to concerns from Bernie Sanders allies. I'm still
Speaker 1: amazed at Bernie Sanders did not fight harder against Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton in the convention in twenty sixteen. She stole it
Speaker 1: from him. He easily could have put a bigger fight,
Speaker 1: and he kind of just turned away from it. He
Speaker 1: turned away from it. Bernie Sanders has been allowing the
Speaker 1: left the corporatist side of the Democrat Party to run
Speaker 1: roughshot over him. The only question is he finally going
Speaker 1: to stand up for it. I have a new piece
Speaker 1: on Foxnews dot com. You should check it out. Millennials
Speaker 1: and gen Z support Trump. Despite the left's best efforts.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is climbing in the polls with young people's
Speaker 1: part of the education process that we are doing at

Speaker 1: Kirk filling in for the Great Buck Sexton. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back. This is Charlie Kirk filling in
Speaker 1: for the Great Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Radio Show.
Speaker 1: I am the founder of Turning Point USA TPUSA dot com,
Speaker 1: the nation's largest student organization dedicated to educating, empowering, and
Speaker 1: organizing students around the ideas of free markets, limited government,
Speaker 1: the Constitution, and American exceptionalism. We believe America is the
Speaker 1: greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: We believe that the Constitution is the greatest political document
Speaker 1: ever written. And when we believe that free enterprise capitalism
Speaker 1: is the most moral, proven and effective economic system ever discovered.
Speaker 1: Front page of the Drudge Report. Biden shows early strength.
Speaker 1: Surprising early strength. Biden's surprising early strength. Can anyone stop him?
Speaker 1: Leads Democrats by eighteen points. I read this and I've
Speaker 1: made the prediction. I think Joe Biden is going to
Speaker 1: fail publicly and miserably, and in a Shakespearean way, decline
Speaker 1: from this front runner status that he's enjoying right now.
Speaker 1: So let's go back to a couple other headlines that
Speaker 1: we can reflect on. December twenty ninth, twenty fourteen CNN
Speaker 1: o RC poll Jeb Bush surges to twenty sixteen GOP
Speaker 1: front runner quote Jeff Bush is the clear Republican presidential
Speaker 1: front runner, surging to the front of the potential GOP
Speaker 1: pack following his announcement that he's quote actively exploring a bid.
Speaker 1: He takes nearly one quarter to twenty three percent of
Speaker 1: Republican survey in the New Nation Light Pole, putting him
Speaker 1: ten points ahead of his closest competitor, Chris Christie, who
Speaker 1: tally at thirteen percent. Physician Ben Carson came in at
Speaker 1: third to seven percent. Rand Paul and former Arkansas Governor
Speaker 1: Mike Huckerbe both tied at six percent. I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone that was listed in that poll even finished in
Speaker 1: the top three with delegate counts. Jeff Busch GOOP front runner?
Speaker 1: How about another one? How about another one? A little
Speaker 1: further in time, January thirty two and fifteen, Jeff Bush
Speaker 1: has become the GOP frontrunner for twenty sixteen. So now
Speaker 1: what in this whole article, this is the Washington Post
Speaker 1: talks about how Bush is so strong and he's raising
Speaker 1: all this money and these quotes you know, of all
Speaker 1: these people, all these Washington insiders of it's a great
Speaker 1: day for Jeb Bush, said Brian Ballard, a lobbyist who
Speaker 1: led Romne these two thousand twelve lobbying efforts in Florida
Speaker 1: who actually ended up helping Donald Trump. Brian's a good man.
Speaker 1: I think Jeb had seventy five percent of the money folks.
Speaker 1: Here this brings in the other twenty five percent. He's
Speaker 1: talking about a huge fundraiser that he did. You read
Speaker 1: these articles, you say, oh my goodness, how could this
Speaker 1: guy have ever not been the nominee? How about this one?
Speaker 1: June eighth, two fifteen and exclusive Daily Caller dot com.
Speaker 1: Jeff Bush is the clear leader in latest New Hampshire
Speaker 1: goop pole the Daily Caller. This is written by Chuck Ross,
Speaker 1: Good Guy, June two thousand and fifteen. Quote, Jeff Bush
Speaker 1: is a clear frontrunner in a New Hampshire GOP presidential poll.
Speaker 1: The poll, conducted by Gravis Marketing on behalf of the
Speaker 1: Howie car Show, shared exclusively The Daily Caller asked four
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven Republican primary voters who they would
Speaker 1: support in a crowd goop field. I must remind you
Speaker 1: this is further along in the timeline than even we
Speaker 1: are right now. Jeb Bush clear front runner in New
Speaker 1: Hampshire geopeople. But then something changed, and someone came down
Speaker 1: a goal and escalator and blew it all up and
Speaker 1: changed the political dynamics forever in this country. You couldn't
Speaker 1: be bought, he couldn't be told what to say or
Speaker 1: what to do, and he totally disrupted the status quo
Speaker 1: as we know it. And I have headline after headline,
Speaker 1: and I look at this headline here at Reuter's Biden
Speaker 1: shows early strength, surprising early strength. I'm going to say
Speaker 1: this right now, the best part of Joe Biden's two
Speaker 1: and twenty presidential campaign is right now. It is such
Speaker 1: a big field, with so many opportunistic people in this field,
Speaker 1: they are going to do everything they possibly can to
Speaker 1: destabilize and defeat Joe Biden. They are not going to
Speaker 1: allow him to be the nominee. He's been on every
Speaker 1: single side of every issue. Immigration he once supported, building
Speaker 1: the wall, immigration he once supported. Now he supports not
Speaker 1: building a wall and tearing down on the wall. And
Speaker 1: so I actually have another headliner National Journal Marco Rubio
Speaker 1: front runner, the front runner. He's the front runner in
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen presidential race. And it goes on to
Speaker 1: say that he's the he's the true pick for all
Speaker 1: that wants to unite the conservatives and unite the establishment.
Speaker 1: He's like Jeb Bush, but even better. And we all
Speaker 1: know how that worked out for Marco. December tenth, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: is Ted Cruz twenty and sixteens invisible GOP front runner.
Speaker 1: Now Ted actually did a lot better than people thought.
Speaker 1: He paced well ahead of many of the polls would
Speaker 1: have suggested. And you look at article after article after
Speaker 1: article Ted Cruze front runner, Ted Cruze front runner, How
Speaker 1: Ted Cruze became the GOP front runner. February ninth, twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: Cruise wins Iowa, putting him as the top GOP front runner. Actually,
Speaker 1: I was at rather amazing accomplishment. What am I getting
Speaker 1: at here is that all these front runners ended up
Speaker 1: not actually being the nominee that the media tries to
Speaker 1: anoint and tries to crown these people early on in
Speaker 1: the race, ends up being the worst thing they possibly can't.
Speaker 1: Leads Dems by eighteen points. I'm actually surprised his lead
Speaker 1: is not even bigger than it is right now. Everyone
Speaker 1: in the primarity knows who he is, they know his
Speaker 1: stances on here are his lack of stances on most
Speaker 1: of the issues. But the political energy is around Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 1: and so I actually look at this poll. It's quite interesting. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't trust these poles. Who knows what these polls are.
Speaker 1: Biden was supported by thirty five percent of likely Democrat
Speaker 1: primary voters, help from thirty one percent in March, while
Speaker 1: Sanders sat at seventeen percent, a slight dip from twenty
Speaker 1: third he had twenty three percent. So according to this poll,
Speaker 1: it has Sanders as I'm sorry Biden Sanders, and then
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, followed by Kamala Harris and then Pete Boddagent.
Speaker 1: Where's Beato? By the way, Where's Robert Francis Rourke? What
Speaker 1: happened to Robert Francis? Robert Francis Rourke. See, I don't
Speaker 1: call him by his fake name, Beto. He's not Hispanic
Speaker 1: at all. I call him by his birth name. He's Irish,
Speaker 1: not Hispanic, Robert Francis or Rourke. So you look at
Speaker 1: this poll here and it goes to show, oh, how
Speaker 1: could Joe Biden possibly be How could anyone dare challenge
Speaker 1: Joe Biden with what he's doing well, quite quite easily
Speaker 1: and quite simply Being a front runner at this time
Speaker 1: in this race puts a massive target on your back.
Speaker 1: Being the front runner quote unquote in the race prevents
Speaker 1: you from taking risk, and it prevents you from being
Speaker 1: able to make positions or do rallies or events that
Speaker 1: would actually draw people potentially to you. You're in the
Speaker 1: preservation mode. You're not in explore You're not in the
Speaker 1: mode of trying to actually win over potential converts. You're
Speaker 1: trying to keep a lead. You're trying to play not
Speaker 1: to lose. So Joe Biden that you'd be in the
Speaker 1: worst position right now, wouldn't want to be in first
Speaker 1: at this point, Are you kidding me? We're not eating
Speaker 1: We're still ten months out from the Iowa caucus. We
Speaker 1: are still ten months out from New Hampshire. We are
Speaker 1: eleven months out from the most consequential primaries. We are
Speaker 1: so far out from the positions from the actual primaries
Speaker 1: and the caucuses that are going to determine the nominee.
Speaker 1: And you're trying to tell me there's not going to
Speaker 1: be some destabilization. You're not trying to tell me. The
Speaker 1: media is going to enjoy building Joe Biden up and
Speaker 1: then systematically making him fall and defeat him. The media
Speaker 1: is trying to create Joe Biden to be even bigger
Speaker 1: than he really is right now. This caricature of the
Speaker 1: old world, this is what they are doing. The media
Speaker 1: is trying to make it seem as if he's unstoppable.
Speaker 1: The media is trying to make it seem as if
Speaker 1: he cannot be beat. The media is trying to make
Speaker 1: it seem as if it's already done. Therefore, whoever dare
Speaker 1: slay that dragon is a hero. Therefore, whoever actually ends
Speaker 1: up defeating Joe Biden. It's like defeating Donald Trump first
Speaker 1: in the Democrat primary. They're trying to make it seem
Speaker 1: as if it's inevitable. It's Joe Biden and Trump, and
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Trump are kind of similar. They both
Speaker 1: reached the same kind of voters. Joe Biden and Trump
Speaker 1: are both blue collar. They both have a lot of
Speaker 1: blue collars support, they both have a lot of blue
Speaker 1: collar resonance. And the media is doing this intentional. The
Speaker 1: media is trying to create this narrative of who can
Speaker 1: beat Joe Biden, and the person who slays that dragon,
Speaker 1: whether it be Pete Buddha Judge or Kamala Harris, or
Speaker 1: it's not going to be Robert Francis, R. Rouric or Beto.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think it's Beto. I particularly
Speaker 1: don't have an affinity for Robert Francis R. Rouric. There's
Speaker 1: something about him, really, I think because I think it's
Speaker 1: rather disingenuous. I think it's rather disingenuous. Yet the media
Speaker 1: is trying to create Joe Biden to be this larger
Speaker 1: than life figure because then it lends itself to this
Speaker 1: heroic come from journey for some Democrat to reach up
Speaker 1: and win against all odds, and that will then create
Speaker 1: a story they never thought they had a chance. They
Speaker 1: defeated Joe Biden, therefore they can defeat Donald Trump. That
Speaker 1: is what they are trying to do to go in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Because the media actually want someone more in
Speaker 1: the mold of Corey Booker or Kamela Harris or Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren or Pete Buddha Judge, more new age, more radical,
Speaker 1: not someone who has been bought and paid for by China,
Speaker 1: not someone who has oversaw some of the worst policy
Speaker 1: decisions made in our country. Instead, they want someone who
Speaker 1: can embrace the vibrant, radical progressive energy of their base.
Speaker 1: And they have a narrative that this person defeated Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: therefore that person can defeat Donald Trump. And I do
Speaker 1: not think the polls are actually nearly as tight, all right,
Speaker 1: as as for lack of a better term, let me
Speaker 1: correct that, or as different, or as the lead is
Speaker 1: not as great, let me put it that way as
Speaker 1: people may think. So, Joe Biden, you're in a tough
Speaker 1: position right now. You got a big target on your back.
Speaker 1: I would not want to be in the position that
Speaker 1: you're in right now. This is Charlie Kirk, host of

Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Hello everybody, Welcome back. This is
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk filling in for Buck Sexton on the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Radio Show. I am the host of The Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk Show on Apple Podcast. You can type in Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk Show and press subscribe. I am also the founder
Speaker 1: of Turning Point USATPUSA dot com. We are the nation's
Speaker 1: largest student movement dedicated to educating and powering and organizing
Speaker 1: students around the values of free markets, limited government in
Speaker 1: the constitution. You know if we are present on now
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred high school and college campuses, across the country.
Speaker 1: We see the implications of what a broken educational system
Speaker 1: has become, and we understand how important it is to
Speaker 1: fight for these values and these principles every single day.
Speaker 1: And if we do not fight for our country, we
Speaker 1: will soon have a country and a culture that will
Speaker 1: soon be unrecognizable. Are we going to be a country
Speaker 1: that is thankful that we live here or angry that
Speaker 1: we live here? Are we going to be victims or
Speaker 1: are we going to be victors? Are we going to
Speaker 1: be a country that appreciates how far we have come
Speaker 1: and recognize that we have made mistakes, but our country
Speaker 1: is not a mistake. Or are we going to be
Speaker 1: a country that all of a sudden says that everything
Speaker 1: we have done up into this point has been a mistake.
Speaker 1: We are a mistake and we must deconstruct it. At
Speaker 1: turning point us, we believe that the nation's best hope
Speaker 1: lies within our young people. It is a fight that
Speaker 1: is critical to the future of our republic. We must
Speaker 1: do everything we can to educate, empower, identify, and organize
Speaker 1: the next generation around these ideas. Our country has been
Speaker 1: through so much adversity throughout the years, wars, civil war,
Speaker 1: positive movements, negative movements, division, and if we have a
Speaker 1: failure to recognize the fundamental values that made our country
Speaker 1: so successful and so great, I'm afraid that we will
Speaker 1: quickly head in the wrong direction. Isn't it stunning how
Speaker 1: we have an entire generation that is now embracing socialism
Speaker 1: that did not happen by mistake. These ideas were taught
Speaker 1: by a group of college professors in a group of
Speaker 1: high school teachers that over many decades put their values
Speaker 1: into a generation, put the values into a generation that
Speaker 1: an impacted culture put the values into a generation, and
Speaker 1: then impacted culture in academia and our entire civil institutions
Speaker 1: as we know it. Unfortunately, if we do not educate,
Speaker 1: and if we do not get into that marketplace of
Speaker 1: ideas and talk about the constitution and talk about free markets,
Speaker 1: the socialist movement in our country will then be successful.
Speaker 1: And you can see already the success of people like
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. Do you know most of Bernie Sanders support
Speaker 1: comes from young people. I see this all the time
Speaker 1: at the work we're doing at Turning Point USA on
Speaker 1: college and high school campuses all across the country, and
Speaker 1: we have groups in all fifty states we have the
Speaker 1: nation's largest Young women's Leadership Summit, to the nation's largest
Speaker 1: Young Latino Leadership Summit. We have the nation's High School
Speaker 1: Leadership Summit. Anyone listen to this as high school students,
Speaker 1: you might want to have them get involved, get involved
Speaker 1: in politics, get involved in the culture fight. They can
Speaker 1: go to TPUSA dot com and apply for our Teenage
Speaker 1: Student Action Summit coming up in July. Any young women
Speaker 1: listen to this program, and you might want to go
Speaker 1: to one of our conferences. You go to TPUSA dot
Speaker 1: com and apply for our Young Women's Leadership Summit. And
Speaker 1: we hear all the time students that are being silence
Speaker 1: because of their beliefs. But it's been so much fun
Speaker 1: being with you these last three hours and a couple
Speaker 1: times this week. If you like what you've heard, please
