On this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie Kirk sits down with Turning Point USA Youth President, Charlie Kirk, to discuss why Donald Trump is a better President than all the other thieves in Washington, D.C. and why we should call him a "peace president" and not a "war president" like the rest of the Democratic Party. Charlie and I talk about the differences between a "War President" like Hillary Clinton and a "Peace President," and why Trump was a better president than any other in the history of the United States.

00:00:34.000Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:35.000Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:37.000I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:41.000Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:44.000I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy.
00:00:46.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:36.000So, earlier, I heard you call Washington a den of thieves, which I fully agree with.
00:01:42.000Keep in mind, I'm going to preface that immediately.
00:01:44.000Don't agree with Democrats. However, I want to know from you, and I want to get your opinion on why is Donald Trump any different from all the other thieves that are in Washington right now, looting and pillaging the earnings of the working class?
00:01:57.000It's a good question. First of all, he cut your taxes.
00:02:00.000Number two, he made it easier for you to own a home.
00:02:03.000Number three, we had no new wars, which I'm sure you care about.
00:02:06.000So this is important. He actually starved the beast of the military-industrial complex.
00:02:39.000Well, I don't agree that he's a Russian agent.
00:02:41.000No, no, no, for sure. I'm just being sarcastic saying, why is it for four years Russia stopped all of their incursions when under Bush, Obama, and Biden, it was an all-you-can-eat buffet in the Russian hemisphere?
00:02:53.000Probably something relating to Russian politics.
00:02:55.000I'm not sure. Okay, no, but this is the point, is that the answer is that Trump was a peace president, unlike the den of thieves that are currently running this country.
00:03:02.000I don't know if I would call a peace president someone who drops a Moab to kill terrorists in...
00:03:08.000Where was it? It was ISIS, I believe, right?
00:03:12.000He just dropped a Moab on that mother...
00:03:29.000Well, if they're threatening the life of their fellow countrymen, then probably, yeah.
00:03:33.000Okay, so we have no moral difference on that.
00:03:36.000No, but I think it's interesting that you call him a peace president when he does that.
00:03:39.000You excuse this military action and call him a peace president even though...
00:03:44.000I mean, I'm not saying that the target was not justified, keep in mind.
00:03:48.000Fair enough. No, but again, he did not start a new conventional ground war where every president lasts 40 years, including Reagan, has.
00:03:56.000That's very noteworthy. And so you asked the question, what makes Trump different?
00:03:59.000I'll tell you one thing, which I think is important.
00:04:02.000If Trump was like all the rest of them, they would not have impeached him twice, indicted him four times, and he would not have to survive the assassination attempts that he has.
00:04:12.000There's something different about Trump, because he threatens to expose and uproot the entire cabal and the cartel that has been making everybody in this audience poorer and them richer.
00:04:22.000The same cabal that allowed him to become a billionaire?
00:04:27.000Well, him becoming a billionaire was building great hotels and buildings.
00:06:07.000For you to believe Trump is for you, he would want to increase taxes on people like me to give it to you so you could go study Freud and Jung.
00:06:51.000I think that we're getting to something important.
00:06:53.000The government owns more than half of all of my time in labor.
00:06:57.000All of my speeches, all of my podcasts, all of my radio, all my time at Turning Point USA. I am literally half-owned by the federal government.
00:07:27.000Well, it's yours, and then it's going to the government.
00:07:30.000Got it. So, does it mean anything that in order to get to that level, most times you have to create a lot of jobs and create a lot of value in the marketplace, and that that income should be a reward for that kind of value you create?
00:07:42.000Well, yes, your income already is a reward.
00:07:45.000You're already in the top 1% of earners even before the government takes your taxes.
00:07:48.000No, for sure, but then half of it goes away. Right, and how much do you make afterwards?
00:07:53.000A fair amount? Yeah. So, you live in a nice house, drive a nice car?
00:07:57.000No, I mean, I'm not complaining. I'm saying, though, from a moral argument, we're getting to a place where it's always easy to tax more people like me.
00:08:03.000The people that, you know, do three hours of radio a day, travel the country, give a thousand speeches a year.
00:08:22.000Right. How is what they're doing to me not theft?
00:08:25.000Well, all taxation is ultimately theft.
00:08:28.000That is the price that you pay for living in a society.
00:08:31.000And I think you, as a top 1% earner, as someone who is in the upper crust of this society, you have to pay more in order to keep society running.
00:08:38.000That's not an unfair argument, I would say.
00:08:40.000No, it's incredibly interesting because basically what you're saying is those of you that work harder and produce more, you must fork over by force to those that do not work as hard.
00:08:51.000Would you rather they just keep all their money?
00:08:54.000CEOs, billionaires, they just don't pay taxes at all?
00:10:00.000It could be the government. It could be the government.
00:10:03.000They can make work programs, things like that.
00:10:05.000Yeah, the government only creates jobs with the wealth that they extract from the citizenry.
00:10:08.000The government does not create wealth.
00:10:10.000The government extracts it, by definition.
00:10:13.000Yes. So therefore what I'm saying is that if everyone here wants jobs, it's easy to pick on people like me.
00:10:19.000It's easy to say you've got to pay more, you've got to do more.
00:10:21.000What is hard is actually to have a mature argument rooted in liberty saying you can earn a vast majority of what you, you can keep a vast majority of what you earn, and that we're going to increase freedom and liberty so that you can actually one day be in the 1%.
00:10:34.000Yeah, but when you talk about small governments, what programs will have to be sacrificed?
00:10:38.000Will it have to be food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, child tax credits?
00:10:41.000Well, how about one we can agree with?
00:10:43.000Sending money to Ukraine. Sending money to Ukraine?
00:10:45.000We should stop. $200 billion should not be sent to Ukraine.
00:10:48.000Yeah, I don't really agree with imperialist wars.
00:10:50.000I agree. So there we agree with something.
00:10:52.000Of course. Yeah. There's tons of duplication, waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:10:56.000We have trillions of dollars on necessary spending.
00:10:59.000You're coming after this in a really good perspective and a good faith argument, and I respect that.
00:11:03.000My closing argument with this will be this, which is that a small amount of entrepreneurs make the world a better place.
00:11:11.000It is so tempting to be filled with envy, as we call in the Christian tradition, covetousness, which is the 10th commandment.
00:11:17.000I'm not saying you're a Christian. I'm just saying in the Christian tradition, we believe it, to say, you shouldn't have that.
00:11:24.000What is hard, but actually makes society better, is to restrain yourself and say, when you see a big house, don't say, I don't think anybody should live like this.
00:11:32.000Instead, say, I want everybody to live like this.
00:11:36.000And that is a totally different perspective.
00:11:38.000But didn't Jesus also say, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's?
00:11:41.000No, for sure. I'm not saying I'm not going to pay taxes.
00:12:28.000You don't trust the government. You want a different political framework.
00:12:30.000My perspective is, therefore, if you don't trust the government, let's stop sending it so much of our hard-earned money.
00:12:36.000Thank you so much. I've got to go to the next question.
00:12:37.000Thank you. Today I want to talk to you about a very important issue.
00:12:43.000If you've recently engaged in any sort of restricted diet or have taken medications to lose weight for the summer, be careful.
00:12:49.000There's a big chance that you create a nutrient deficiency that not only can harm your overall health, as it could jeopardize your weight loss goals.
00:12:57.000You know, 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium.

00:13:08.000All key supporters for keeping your weight on healthy levels.
00:13:11.000And if you're still taking medications, you may be dealing with uncomfortable side effects like lack of sleep, digestive issues or irritability that can also compromise your willingness to a long-term commitment to your goals.
00:13:22.000With or without medications, it is critical to set healthy habits To help you maintain your weight over time, making sure you have all the magnesium you need to optimally function is one of them.

00:14:39.000So, as a Christian, you believe that murder is wrong, and that we should punish the murderer for the murder, right?
00:14:47.000So why does it change when it's the mother and it's in her womb?
00:14:51.000Because once it's born and she kills it at one year old, it's murder and it's her fault, right?
00:14:55.000It's a fair argument. First of all, some people, I don't know Jeff's position, but the majority of people pushing this want retroactive enforcement of this.
00:15:04.000Just so we're clear. So can we both agree there should not be retroactive enforcement of any law?
00:17:04.000No, no, no. You're coming after from a good spot.
00:17:06.000Yeah. I don't want to spend too much time on this.
00:17:08.000Of course. But when I look in her eyes, she regrets with every fight.
00:17:11.000Look at her. Of course. And so why should we throw the book at her?
00:17:14.000We shouldn't, right? No, but I think that once we make it illegal, we can then move forward in a way that doesn't allow at home or like abortions can happen at home.
00:17:23.000Fair enough. That's a good discussion. I just come after this from a perspective that I believe women are large in part victims in this industry.
00:17:29.000I would agree. Because of the way that the society has put it, right?
00:17:33.000It's not murder, and so they are victims because they're not told.
00:17:35.000I think you make some good points. I'll think about it deeper.
00:17:37.000Okay. Could I get a selfie with you real quick from my girlfriend?
00:18:06.000So xenophobic, it's like the liberal term for racist, I would say.
00:18:14.000Okay, then you've got to define racist, then.
00:18:17.000You just think you're better than someone else because of your race.
00:18:20.000Got it. Okay. So now we have a definition of xenophobic racist.
00:18:23.000Thank you. What about what Trump did or what he says he's going to do is about him believing he's better than another race?
00:18:31.000So he took money out of our defense budget because the government or whoever would not allow him to have money for the wall.
00:18:40.000And why are people not allowed to find safety, like go to a better country because they feel like unsafe in their country.
00:18:50.000That's why they're leaving. Okay, so let me ask you a question.
00:18:54.000Does every human being who says that they have a tough life have a right to come into America?
00:19:02.000If they want to make their lives better, and America is like a great place, you were saying how rich people were making jobs, like if they could find a job...
00:21:33.000There's 320,000 missing kids in this country right now because when they say they're part of a family, they're really being used as sex slaves on the southern border.
00:21:41.000So that family separation thing is complete BS. That's number one.
00:21:45.000Number two, let's get down to the moral argument of this.
00:21:48.000It doesn't matter what you are fleeing.
00:21:51.000It doesn't matter if you have a good story.
00:21:53.000The question is, do you come here the right way or the wrong way?
00:21:56.000That is the only question that matters.
00:21:59.000Correct? Yeah. And so what Trump's position, you said, why should you vote for Trump?
00:22:21.000But that is legal immigration, not illegal immigration into our country.
00:22:26.000Which is why the money he could have spent on the wall or something, he could have spent for better legal ways.
00:22:31.000But hold on, you have to stop the illegal flow, right?
00:22:34.000That's what the wall would do and border security would do.
00:22:37.000And when you have millions of people that are coming unwelcome into the country, many of whom are carrying guns and drugs, that's kind of an invasion.
00:22:45.000Right? So you and I both want the same thing.
00:22:47.000We want a secure country with very transparent legal immigration laws.
00:23:16.000It's Donald Trump putting the illegal immigrants of Mexico and Nicaragua who came here and waited in line, putting them first and not allowing people to cut in line and border jump into the United States of America.
00:23:30.000Thank you very much. Now, let me ask you, how are you leaning this election?
00:24:27.000He loves dogs and is on a mission to help as many as he can.
00:24:31.000Dog food is dead and Rough Greens supplements your dog's food with existing vitamins and minerals, omega oils, digestive enzymes, probiotics and antioxidants.
00:24:41.000Dr. Black is offering you a free jumpstart trial bag.
00:24:44.000So fetch your free jumpstart trial bag.
00:25:00.000I wanted to build off what he was saying.
00:25:03.000So basically, my ex-girlfriend, her and her family came here from Mexico.
00:25:08.000It took her 10 years, her and her dad, who had worked here for 10 years, to gain citizenship.
00:25:15.000I was just wondering, how exactly do you think the process for that could get easier so people that actually want to work hard Sorry.
00:25:25.000And want to actually improve America and do those things to better it, how they could have an easier process.
00:25:32.000The first thing is you've got to stop the illegal problem before we even talk about it.
00:25:35.000We have a major crisis on this country, and we are losing what it means to be a citizen.
00:25:40.000What it means to be a citizen is being diluted when you allow millions of people into your country.
00:25:44.000The second thing is, the question should be asked, which is, are you going to assimilate with American culture?
00:25:50.000And you look at Ilhan Omar, who has bitterness and hatred and resentment for America, we shouldn't continue to bring people that don't love America and assimilate.
00:25:58.000And that means speak the language, love the country.
00:26:01.000Yes, you have a thought? I'm not talking about those.
00:26:04.000I'm talking about the people that do love America, that are trying to assimilate, that are working hard.
00:26:15.000I'm just saying, for them, 10 years to become a citizen after you've been working I guess it could be reduced.
00:26:22.000Again, it's unfair because illegals get preference, but I am of the opinion, you might not agree, citizenship should be hard to attain.
00:26:29.000You should have to have a body of work to show that you're worthy of citizenship.
00:26:33.000I know 10 years sounds like a lot, but think about it.
00:26:36.000We're throwing around citizenship like a Frisbee.
00:26:38.000You get a passport. You get a right to vote.
00:26:40.000I think you have to show a body and a behavioral pattern that you're worthy of being a U.S. citizen.
00:26:45.000That doesn't mean you're deported. You have temporary protected status here, right?
00:26:48.000But in order to get across that threshold and say you are now a U.S. citizen, I think we reserve the right to say let's see at least five to ten years of who you are.
00:26:56.000Have you committed crimes? Are you paying taxes?
00:26:58.000And again, I'm more on that extreme because I think citizenship should be treasured, revered, and treated almost in a holy way.
00:27:25.000More people would actually try to come here legally if it was a better process?
00:27:29.000A lot of people still do, and that's what's crazy, is we have a waiting list of 40 million people that want to come into the country, many of whom just decide to fly to Mexico, come across the border, and cut in line.
00:27:39.000I wanted to say when it comes to immigration, though, we need to press pause on all forms of immigration until, this is important, until everyone in this audience has a standard of living at least as good as your parents.
00:27:50.000And I think this is an important moral argument, that when you build a government, that your obligation is first and foremost to the people of the country, not to people outside the country.
00:27:59.000And everybody in this audience is entering a country that's more expensive, harder to buy a home.
00:28:54.000I wanted to, yeah. So afterwards, when I started getting bills, The doctor said, well, your life wasn't actually at risk of death in that moment.
00:29:05.000It could have been eventually, but it wasn't then.
00:29:08.000And so the pain that that abortion caused me, I stayed in an abusive relationship for a year.
00:29:15.000I allowed a man to beat me because I felt so little about myself.
00:29:18.000I drank, I used drugs, and if it hadn't been for Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, I don't know where I would be.
00:29:27.000First of all, you are healed and forgiven.
00:29:31.000And one day you'll meet that little one in heaven.
00:29:33.000And I want you to have that as comfort.
00:29:36.000Because it says in the scriptures, God gathers the least of these in his hand.
00:29:41.000And I believe that speaks to the unborn.
00:31:57.000I know how hard that is. And I hope that it's part of God's plan to bless you with more children.
00:32:04.000Thank you. God bless you for your courage.
00:32:05.000I do have a question. Yes. Okay. So I follow Maggie and Daniel McCarthy and they talked about the one day, one vote.
00:32:13.000And it was highly, I guess, shunned by the Republican Party and they had mentioned your name too.
00:32:20.000I wanted to know what your, I want your side of the story.
00:32:23.000Yeah, I mean, it's really stupid for everyone to go vote on one day, and let me tell you why.
00:32:28.000Who knows what happened to Adam Laxalt in 2022?
00:32:31.000Adam Laxalt would have been the U.S. Senator here in Nevada if more people would have voted early.
00:32:35.000We had a once-in-a-generation snowstorm in Elko, not far from here, that disenfranchised 10,000 people from voting, and if those people would have voted, Adam Laxalt would have been a U.S. Senator here from Nevada.
00:32:46.000So if you guys want to go vote on Election Day, I guess that's fine.
00:32:53.000What if you get COVID? Why don't we bank our votes early and say that we're not going to allow natural disasters, calamity, or long lines?
00:33:01.000In Arizona, let me tell you what happened.
00:33:02.000Kerry Lake should be governor of Arizona.
00:33:05.000But unfortunately, when I went to go vote for Kerry Lake in 2022, all of our machines failed in half of our precincts, triggering three to four hour waiting lines and people going in and getting out and not voting at all.
00:33:14.000So that's because we all banked on one vote and one day.
00:33:17.000Instead, we should sprout out our voting over a 30 day period, make it really hard to pinpoint, make it unpredictable, right, make it decentralized.
00:33:24.000Our movement is so big, we can't fit all of our voters on one day.
00:33:28.000Our movement is so excited, shouldn't we give our voters more days, not less days to go vote?
