00:00:18.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:20.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:22.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:26.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:29.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:30.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:31.000 His 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.
00:00:48.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:52.000 Noble Gold Investments is the official gold sponsor of The Charlie Kirk Show, a company that specializes in gold IRAs and physical delivery of precious metals.
00:01:01.000 Learn how you can protect your wealth with Noble Gold Investments at noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:08.000 That is noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:10.000 It's where I buy all of my gold.
00:01:12.000 Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:16.000 Hey everybody, how we doing tonight?
00:01:20.000 All right.
00:01:20.000 We had some fun earlier.
00:01:22.000 I see a lot of MAGA hats, so I see a lot of you guys that were there earlier.
00:01:25.000 I'm not going to talk for too long here.
00:01:26.000 I want to spend most of our time on questions.
00:01:29.000 We're talking for seven hours a day right now, but it's worth it.
00:01:31.000 I'm losing my voice.
00:01:33.000 So it's great to be here.
00:01:34.000 There's one message I do want to present for you, which is the unique moment that you're living through.
00:01:39.000 And this is one reason why I hope President Trump wins.
00:01:41.000 I have no idea what's going to happen.
00:01:42.000 And all of this is obviously reflections of turning point action in my own personal views here, which is, I'm not in the prediction business.
00:01:49.000 Obviously, early voting is going very well and we'll see what's happening.
00:01:52.000 But one of the reasons why I hope President Trump wins more than anything else is that there's a unique realignment happening in this country that is deeply profound.
00:01:59.000 Many of you grew up in a country where the Republican Party was traditionally the party of warmongering, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, international adventurism, the party of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the party of free trade.
00:02:11.000 The Democrat Party was a similar version of that, but at least would say to their voters that we're against these types of wars and that we want to try to have more American products made, more products made in America, and at least stop the flow of immigration.
00:02:23.000 All that changed, and we call that the Uniparty, because there's actually been more agreement than disagreement in Washington, D.C. these last couple of decades, when Donald Trump went down the escalator.
00:02:32.000 And you might hate Donald Trump, you might love Donald Trump, but you should love what he represents.
00:02:36.000 And when Donald Trump represents somebody Who went into the arena and completely changed American politics as we know it, to say, wait a second, and he asked very basic questions.
00:02:47.000 And understand, they don't attack Donald Trump because of his tone or because how he quote unquote attacks people.
00:02:52.000 They attack Donald Trump because he asks the right questions.
00:02:55.000 And he asked the first question, why is it that we're sending all this money overseas?
00:02:59.000 This makes no sense.
00:03:00.000 Why is it that we have an open border?
00:03:03.000 If we don't have a border, we don't have a country.
00:03:05.000 And then he said, why is it that we don't make products in this country anymore?
00:03:08.000 And for that, he committed the great sin of modern politics, which is to challenge the bipartisan consensus of Washington, D.C. And it's been honestly one of the most amazing journeys, and it's really kind of Remarkable that is coming to an end.
00:03:22.000 I mean, for me, it's been nine years of this.
00:03:24.000 For you guys, it might be your first election cycle.
00:03:27.000 From the moment he went down the escalator, it's hard to...
00:03:29.000 You guys remember what politics was like before Trump?
00:03:32.000 It wasn't fun, right?
00:03:34.000 He's totally changed.
00:03:35.000 You guys might say, oh, you know, I want him to go away.
00:03:36.000 It's different in a very profound way, because the parties are totally changing in real time, and they're changing for the better.
00:03:43.000 The Republican Party is now A party that is completely on board for free speech, is against these stupid endless wars, wants to close the border and put American workers first.
00:03:53.000 The Democrat Party always used to be the party of labor.
00:03:55.000 And it is exhibited based on what I think is the greatest trade deal ever.
00:04:00.000 So the Democrat Party receives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and we get Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard.
00:04:08.000 I think that's a pretty good trade deal, wouldn't you say?
00:04:11.000 And I want to isolate two of those people for you.
00:04:15.000 Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy.
00:04:17.000 Tulsi was going to be here, but we sent her somewhere else because it's, honestly, we're dividing and conquering right now.
00:04:21.000 As you guys can understand, it's just crazy.
00:04:22.000 Schedules are nuts.
00:04:23.000 You're stuck with me tonight.
00:04:24.000 But Tulsi Gabbard ran for the presidency as a Democrat.
00:04:30.000 She was the co-chair of the Democrat National Committee.
00:04:33.000 Bobby Kennedy is the namesake of Bobby Kennedy, who was shot, the brother of JFK, former attorney general and presidential candidate.
00:04:42.000 Amazing guy.
00:04:43.000 These two people have, in like a galaxy far, far away, no one would have imagined that those two people would have been endorsing Donald Trump.
00:04:50.000 And what happened is, first and foremost, they both tried to run with their values, which were traditional Democrat values, in the Democrat Party.
00:04:59.000 And what happened to Tulsi Gabbard?
00:05:00.000 Tulsi Gabbard was the co-chair of the DNC, ran for the presidency, And basically was told there's no place for you in this party because you don't support sending money to Ukraine.
00:05:09.000 It's essentially like the entire thing.
00:05:11.000 And also it's a party that does not support free speech, that does not support free inquiry.
00:05:15.000 And then Bobby Kennedy.
00:05:16.000 Bobby Kennedy tried to run for the presidency as a Democrat.
00:05:19.000 He asked Joe Biden, why don't we have a primary?
00:05:22.000 Why don't we try to actually see who the best Democrat is?
00:05:24.000 And Joe Biden, of course, I mean, you know, he's like the gift that keeps on giving now.
00:05:27.000 It's unbelievable.
00:05:28.000 And it's really, it's amazing.
00:05:30.000 This is a guy that they kept in the basement The entire 2020 campaign, and yet a week out from the election, while Kamala Harris is giving her closing address, they put him on some Zoom call with Voto Latino.
00:05:42.000 It's like, are you trying to give us something in this?
00:05:45.000 Again, I don't know.
00:05:46.000 Maybe Joe Biden is a secret Trump supporter.
00:05:48.000 I don't think so.
00:05:49.000 I will say, though, What he said is an embodiment of where I think the Democrat Party actually is.
00:05:56.000 I'll get to that in a second.
00:05:57.000 So the realignment that is happening is exciting and it's a profound one because you in this room represent The first generation in American history to have your life worse off than your parents.
00:06:11.000 I want you guys to understand this.
00:06:12.000 There has never been a younger generation since George Washington that has it worse off than their parents.
00:06:19.000 We've had ones that are on par.
00:06:21.000 Even during the Great Depression, they had it as good as their parents.
00:06:24.000 And then eventually better.
00:06:26.000 You are the first generation ever where you are inheriting and receiving a country that is way screwed up.
00:06:32.000 And I'll give you the numbers.
00:06:32.000 You're the most depressed generation in history, the most suicidal generation in history, the most anxious generation in history.
00:06:38.000 You're the least likely to own homes, least likely to get married, least likely to have kids, most likely to be medicated, and most likely to say that none of this stuff actually matters.
00:06:47.000 And we asked the question, I thought we're the richest country ever.
00:06:50.000 What happened here?
00:06:51.000 And it's because we have a breakdown of the social contract where a bunch of people in both political parties have been playing games with your future.
00:07:00.000 Routinely, both financially, fiscally, morally, and politically.
00:07:03.000 And Donald Trump partially, I mean, he's running for all Americans, but for young Americans, he's at least trying to give you the life back that you had four years ago.
00:07:10.000 And the life is very simple.
00:07:12.000 When Donald Trump was president, in order to own a home in this country, you needed to earn $75,000 a year.
00:07:17.000 Now, it's $135,000 a year.
00:07:21.000 The average mortgage payment when Trump was president, $700 a month.
00:07:24.000 Now, it's $2,000 a month.
00:07:27.000 It is bad for everybody in this audience if you are going to be renting for the rest of your life.
00:07:32.000 Owning homes makes you a better citizen, a better person, and more invested in your community and more likely to steward your resources in appropriate and long-term manner.
00:07:41.000 And so what's happening is this realignment which is so exciting.
00:07:44.000 The Republican Party is becoming younger.
00:07:46.000 It's becoming more diverse.
00:07:48.000 It's becoming more open to Latinos, to Blacks, to people of all different backgrounds.
00:07:52.000 Where the Democrat Party is becoming far more coastal, far more elite, and far more out of touch with everyday Americans.
00:07:59.000 And I'll close with this, and again, I have no idea what's going to happen on Tuesday.
00:08:03.000 I certainly have strong opinions of what I hope happens.
00:08:06.000 But what they have had put Donald Trump through these last couple of years, no American presidential candidate in history has had to endure what this man has had to go through.
00:08:17.000 He's facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:08:19.000 They've tried to take his business empire away from him.
00:08:22.000 He's been shot once and attempted three assassinations against him.
00:08:25.000 Not to mention all the smearing and the slandering.
00:08:28.000 You're like, okay, hold on a second.
00:08:29.000 What does this guy represent where you have to go this crazy against him?
00:08:33.000 It's very simple.
00:08:34.000 He knows that there is a con job happening in Washington, D.C. And he's going to try to change it and try to bring the power back to you.
00:08:42.000 It's not about his tweets.
00:08:43.000 It's not about his tone.
00:08:44.000 It's that for the first time in a generation, he wants to put we the people back in charge of our government, not the politicians.
00:08:53.000 Okay, with that, let's do some questions, everybody.
00:08:56.000 We're going to go 45 minutes to an hour because I've got to save my voice.
00:08:59.000 How are we going to do questions?
00:09:00.000 They'll let me know.
00:09:01.000 In the meantime, let me ask you a question.
00:09:03.000 Who has voted?
00:09:04.000 Raise your hand.
00:09:05.000 Wow!
00:09:06.000 Let me ask it differently.
00:09:07.000 Who hasn't voted?
00:09:09.000 Okay, wow.
00:09:10.000 So this is, I would say that we're doing very, very well with voter turnout in Eastern North Carolina right now.
00:09:15.000 Very, very well.
00:09:18.000 So I'm largely speaking to not just the converted, but the voted.
00:09:22.000 But let me tell you now, how many of you know somebody that hasn't voted?
00:09:25.000 All of your hands go up.
00:09:26.000 Find that person and get them to the poll.
00:09:29.000 Now you have a job.
00:09:30.000 You've done your job.
00:09:32.000 You've got to find somebody else and get them to vote and vote for Donald Trump.
00:09:37.000 Be a force multiplier and get others to go out and vote.
00:09:40.000 If you guys would like to line up here, we can do questions.
00:09:44.000 All questions are welcome as long as they're in good faith.
00:09:46.000 Raise your hand, Macy, please.
00:09:49.000 If you guys want to line up here, we can do questions.
00:09:51.000 We can do disagreements if you'd like or agreements or whatever.
00:09:54.000 And this earlier in the day was a lot of fun.
00:09:57.000 And so if you guys want to start lining up there, we can start doing questions.
00:10:01.000 Hi, my name is Renee.
00:10:02.000 First of all, big fan.
00:10:03.000 I'm so glad you're here.
00:10:05.000 My question is, there are still some jobs in America that still, like, you have to have your COVID vaccine.
00:10:13.000 I'm a musical theater major, and my dream is to be on a national tour, and right now I can't audition for any shows because I don't have my COVID vaccine.
00:10:21.000 Do you think that is ever going to change with, like, a field that's so brainwashed?
00:10:27.000 Oh my gosh, wait, who's still requiring the COVID vaccine?
00:10:30.000 Like, if I wanted to audition for a national tour, like the Broadway shows, I can't do that, because I don't have my COVID vaccine.
00:10:36.000 Are you kidding me?
00:10:37.000 No, I'm very serious.
00:10:39.000 I mean, first of all, like, you seem like a very healthy person, and I don't know if you've taken the shot before or not.
00:10:46.000 I mean, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your body because I actually believe it's not your DNA. It's not your choice.
00:10:52.000 Unlike Democrats, it's not my body.
00:10:53.000 It's my choice.
00:10:54.000 How about the vaccine when you kick people out of the military for a couple of years without pay and you draft them aside?
00:10:54.000 Oh, really?
00:10:59.000 Oh, it's my body.
00:11:00.000 I don't think you actually believe that.
00:11:02.000 Oh, it's only your body or choice when you want to murder an unborn baby.
00:11:06.000 Got it.
00:11:06.000 Okay.
00:11:07.000 But not your body or choice when you want to say no to experimental mRNA gene-altering shot.
00:11:11.000 Call the vaccine.
00:11:12.000 Okay.
00:11:13.000 No, I have no opinions on the vaccine, as you can tell.
00:11:17.000 Make whatever medical decisions you guys want.
00:11:19.000 If you're on your ninth booster, I hope it works out for you.
00:11:23.000 Yeah, I mean, you seem like a very strong person on your convictions.
00:11:27.000 I personally, I didn't have to suffer very much for not taking the vaccine.
00:11:32.000 But when I mean this, like, under no circumstances would I bend a knee and allow somebody to take something I know that was bad for me, that would not help me.
00:11:40.000 That is, like, the most simple statement of bodily autonomy, and we cannot lose that in this country.
00:11:45.000 And also, it's just so creepy, totalitarian, that they can come into you and force it and kick you out of things.
00:11:52.000 I mean, I would say sue, but these are private organizations.
00:11:55.000 And that's so dystopian.
00:11:58.000 But what is their argument for it, exactly?
00:12:00.000 It's not safe.
00:12:01.000 It's not effective.
00:12:02.000 It doesn't stop the spread.
00:12:03.000 And, by the way, we are seeing...
00:12:05.000 How many of you guys know somebody that had a bad health outcome because of the vaccine?
00:12:09.000 Raise your hand.
00:12:09.000 Look around.
00:12:10.000 This is the greatest public health scandal in the history of the country.
00:12:14.000 Every single hand goes up.
00:12:16.000 Women have miscarriages because of it.
00:12:18.000 They have irregular periods because of it.
00:12:20.000 We are seeing myocarditis, pericarditis, posterior orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, otherwise known as POPs, has increased because of it, dysautonomia.
00:12:29.000 So, I mean, I wouldn't take it under any circumstances, and it might hurt your career, but God has a plan for you, and stay strong.
00:12:37.000 You'll be blessed by that.
00:12:38.000 Thank you.
00:12:38.000 Hey, Charlie, how's it going?
00:12:45.000 My name is Eric.
00:12:46.000 Nice to meet you.
00:12:47.000 I want to talk to you about school choice and school vouchers.
00:12:50.000 I just want to get your general position on it.
00:12:53.000 I'm very much in favor.
00:12:54.000 There are some downsides, but I'm very much in favor.
00:12:55.000 What are the downsides in your opinion?
00:12:57.000 Some rural schools get hurt.
00:12:59.000 Rural schools end up getting hurt or at least downsized.
00:13:02.000 And so we have school choice in Arizona.
00:13:04.000 It's a huge positive.
00:13:06.000 Test scores go up.
00:13:07.000 We see college graduation or at least entry rates go up.
00:13:10.000 Not that I'm a huge fan of college, but at least that's one metric that Can be measured.
00:13:13.000 Literacy goes up, dropouts go down, and the quality of schools go up when you have competition.
00:13:18.000 Are you aware that in states like Ohio, Louisiana, and I think Wisconsin, they saw the largest test score drops in the history of their, or on record, even larger than Hurricane Katrina.
00:13:31.000 Also in countries like Sweden, which I've heard you talk about before, they have a universal school voucher program.
00:13:36.000 They saw the largest PISA score drops over 10 years of any of Excuse me, any of the countries involved.
00:13:43.000 No, I don't know that.
00:13:44.000 I have to look into it.
00:13:44.000 All I know is the two examples I know is Arizona and Florida.
00:13:48.000 Florida went from 38th in education in the country.
00:13:50.000 They did universal school choice.
00:13:51.000 Now they're top five every single year.
00:13:53.000 Arizona is also top five.
00:13:55.000 So I'd have to look into those other examples.
00:13:56.000 But here's my general principle, is that a zip code should not determine a child's future, and that locking them in a public sector school that is basically an open-air prison with teachers that don't care about them Just because they happen to be born to a lower income family is wrong and immoral, and it actually can break the cycle of social safety net we have to give them the ability to go to a better school and have the parent choose and empower the family to be able to go and have the taxpayer dollars follow the child.
00:14:21.000 Sure.
00:14:22.000 So that example is present, but not necessarily all the time.
00:14:27.000 So in Arizona, you mentioned, 75% of people who are enrolled in that program have never been to public school a day in their life.
00:14:33.000 So what we're doing is we're paying for people who have only gone to private school, who are going to private school, to get a free private school education.
00:14:41.000 Well, hold on.
00:14:41.000 Hold on.
00:14:42.000 We aren't paying.
00:14:43.000 Your own tax dollars are paying.
00:14:45.000 Yeah.
00:14:46.000 So your dollars are then going and getting reappropriated, right?
00:14:49.000 So I pay a significant sum in Arizona taxes.
00:14:51.000 Now it's just a matter of taking $7,500 of that a year and allowing my tax dollars to go where I want it to go.
00:14:58.000 So no one else is paying for me.
00:15:00.000 Well, no, what I'm saying is, the example you gave was about poor people who go to bad schools, which usually they don't care about them, to go to private schools that are higher quality just then get a higher quality education.
00:15:10.000 What I'm saying is, that's not necessarily the case because the vast majority of people who get school vouchers in the state that you mentioned Already go to private school.
00:15:17.000 So all we're doing is paying for people who can't afford a private education to get one for free instead of making public schools that the vast majority of people go to.
00:15:25.000 North Carolina, we have 1.4 million public school students.
00:15:28.000 We only have 25,000 voucher students.
00:15:30.000 Instead of making public schools better for everyone, what you're doing is you're allocating a small amount of funds, or a large amount of funds, if we're in North Carolina, for students who are already going to private school.
00:15:41.000 So let me ask you just, you've obviously thought deeply about this topic.
00:15:46.000 How would you fix American public education?
00:15:49.000 I would look at certain targeted policy solutions.
00:15:53.000 One thing that you said that I agree with you on is the biggest thing that What we also need to do, what we also need to look at is improving public school funding.
00:16:11.000 Because if you look at the states that have the highest ranks of education, you have New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and I think Vermont.
00:16:22.000 These are all top five in public school funding, and they're all top ten in public school education rankings.
00:16:30.000 When you increase public school funding, you also increase high school graduation, or every 10% increase in public school funding increases high school graduation rates by 7% and increases low income family income by 17%.
00:16:42.000 Yeah, I'm not convinced of that.
00:16:43.000 I have to look into it because funding is not the problem in Chicago public schools or Baltimore public schools, right?
00:16:49.000 I mean, in Baltimore, there are 13 public schools where they can't find a kid that can read at grade level, right?
00:16:54.000 And the teachers are earning a fair amount of money, and we're spending $21,000 per head in those schools, and we can't even find a kid at grade level.
00:17:02.000 So we agree on the quality of teacher education.
00:17:04.000 I'll look into some of the studies you mentioned.
00:17:05.000 Thank you very much.
00:17:06.000 I appreciate it.
00:17:07.000 Thank you.
00:17:07.000 What's up, Charlie?
00:17:13.000 I wanted to ask first, how's your day been, and how do you enjoy Greenville?
00:17:17.000 It's been a great day here.
00:17:18.000 Have you been here before?
00:17:19.000 I have.
00:17:20.000 I was here seven years ago.
00:17:22.000 Was anybody here when I was here?
00:17:23.000 I don't think you guys are here.
00:17:24.000 I was here seven years ago.
00:17:27.000 Yeah, I was still in middle school.
00:17:28.000 You were in middle school.
00:17:29.000 Yeah, good.
00:17:29.000 Good answer.
00:17:32.000 My second question is, how much harder does it get for you to do your job when we continue to have racist comedians on stages, especially like on the presidential stage?
00:17:43.000 I feel like that's kind of ridiculous, but that's just me.
00:17:48.000 Not really hard to do my job, but I mean, man, can you take a joke?
00:17:51.000 I mean, like...
00:17:51.000 Well, I mean, like, I have no problem with taking a joke.
00:17:54.000 You can put them on TV. I watch people make racist jokes all the time.
00:17:57.000 I watch the boondocks all the time.
00:17:58.000 I have no problem with racist jokes, but I feel like on a presidential stage, we're supposed to be a little professional.
00:18:03.000 I agree with that.
00:18:04.000 We're supposed to be professional, so why are we making racist jokes?
00:18:08.000 Well, again, it's a comedian that was put up on stage.
00:18:10.000 What do you expect?
00:18:11.000 A presidential stage, though.
00:18:13.000 Again, it was like four hours before Trump arrived.
00:18:15.000 But we're not on a regular stage.
00:18:16.000 We're supposed to be respectful.
00:18:18.000 We're projecting our country, and we're projecting racist jokes onto our country.
00:18:22.000 Yeah, I think you're overthinking it, to be perfectly honest with you.
00:18:25.000 No, when you have a president up there endorsing somebody making racist jokes.
00:18:29.000 Well, no, he did.
00:18:29.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:30.000 Millions of Americans.
00:18:31.000 Hold on a second.
00:18:31.000 He disavowed it.
00:18:32.000 No, he's on the stage with Trump.
00:18:33.000 That's endorsing it.
00:18:35.000 Hold on.
00:18:35.000 Let's be...
00:18:36.000 If he's on the stage...
00:18:37.000 Guys, let me explain.
00:18:40.000 He was never on the stage with Trump.
00:18:41.000 It was four hours where Trump arrived.
00:18:43.000 He disavowed him.
00:18:44.000 But, like, let's just be very clear.
00:18:46.000 This guy is, like, not just some schlep.
00:18:48.000 He's a Comedy Central, well-received.
00:18:50.000 He did the roast of Tom Brady, okay?
00:18:52.000 This is not just some, like, random comedian.
00:18:55.000 I don't like the joke.
00:18:56.000 I agree with you.
00:18:57.000 But, like, the fake moral outrage because a very popular comedian made a bad joke at a presidential rally.
00:19:05.000 I will say one thing.
00:19:06.000 I think we need more comedy in this country, not less.
00:19:09.000 That was bad comedy.
00:19:10.000 But here's one thing.
00:19:12.000 And I'm not here to defend him.
00:19:13.000 I actually think it was a bad joke and it was annoying.
00:19:16.000 But...
00:19:17.000 Good comics will tell you that if you are not wildly offending somebody, one out of ten jokes, you're not trying hard enough.
00:19:23.000 And by the way, you think like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock have always like walked on eggshells?
00:19:28.000 And you might say, okay, it's different because it's not on a presidential stage.
00:19:31.000 Okay, fair enough.
00:19:32.000 But I think that we've become so politically correct, we're walking around to be offended by something.
00:19:37.000 But I will say something that should bother you.
00:19:39.000 The current president of the United States, who controls the US military, calling everyone in this room garbage.
00:19:44.000 That should bother you.
00:19:45.000 And that's a completely different thing.
00:19:47.000 I don't like Biden.
00:19:48.000 One sec, one sec.
00:19:49.000 I can't hear you.
00:19:51.000 Continue.
00:19:51.000 I don't rock with Biden either.
00:19:52.000 I don't.
00:19:53.000 You what?
00:19:53.000 I don't support Biden either.
00:19:55.000 Oh, fair enough.
00:19:55.000 Okay.
00:19:55.000 Yeah, no, no, no.
00:19:56.000 No, I know, but like, I just...
00:19:58.000 Do you understand where I'm coming from?
00:19:59.000 Which is like, this is the hand wringing over a comedian in a pre-show act.
00:20:04.000 It's called a warm-up routine.
00:20:06.000 It's not...
00:20:06.000 Trump wasn't like...
00:20:07.000 Let me get my...
00:20:08.000 Where's my Tony?
00:20:09.000 Bring Tony up here.
00:20:10.000 Yeah, but we're not warming up for something regular.
00:20:13.000 Like, I have no problem with that when we're just performing for regular people.
00:20:17.000 But we're not performing for a regular purpose.
00:20:20.000 Like, we're...
00:20:21.000 This is the country we're talking about.
00:20:22.000 We don't need to make racist jokes and...
00:20:24.000 I mean, I agree.
00:20:26.000 It's just...
00:20:27.000 Don't you guys find it remarkable, like, the select moral outrage?
00:20:31.000 No, no, no.
00:20:33.000 You're misunderstanding me.
00:20:33.000 I have no problem.
00:20:34.000 Put him on national television.
00:20:35.000 He can do that.
00:20:36.000 Just not on the presidential stage.
00:20:38.000 That's the only place.
00:20:39.000 It's unacceptable, honestly.
00:20:40.000 Okay.
00:20:41.000 Thank you.
00:20:45.000 It's fine.
00:20:46.000 It's fine.
00:20:48.000 What's up?
00:20:49.000 Hello.
00:20:50.000 Hello.
00:20:50.000 So I have one question.
00:20:52.000 It's more of an honest-faced question about Trump.
00:20:55.000 I've listened to the Joe Brogue interview, the Theovan interview.
00:20:58.000 Very good.
00:20:59.000 I have one question.
00:21:01.000 What is Trump going to do about Russia and Ukraine?
00:21:04.000 I mean, as he said, if he told you the specifics, it would jeopardize his position, but he will end the war.
00:21:09.000 And let me be very clear.
00:21:10.000 The war never should have been allowed to advance as far as it has, because the peace deal that was...
00:21:16.000 And we should stop sending money to Ukraine, by the way.
00:21:19.000 And the peace deal that was on the table...
00:21:24.000 Was actually, they would have had twice as much land, Ukraine, as they currently would have right now.
00:21:29.000 And so we told them, reject this peace deal.
00:21:33.000 We supply $250 billion in weaponry and financial support.
00:21:37.000 100,000 Ukrainians died.
00:21:39.000 Millions turned into refugees and they get less of their land.
00:21:42.000 That is exact, that is Par for the course of what our own military industrial complex does.
00:21:48.000 They lie to the native country, we subsidize their demise, their people get scattered around the world, and then we cover it up and call it all in the name of democracy.
00:21:57.000 So here's probably what Trump will do.
00:21:59.000 He'll put Zelensky in a room and Putin in a room.
00:22:02.000 And this is just conjecture based on piecing things together.
00:22:05.000 He'll tell Zelensky, the money train is over.
00:22:07.000 He'll tell Putin, if you dare go another inch, there will be missiles going on the Kremlin tomorrow.
00:22:13.000 And you know what?
00:22:14.000 Putin is, like, so terrified that Trump means it that he wouldn't go an inch.
00:22:18.000 And you know how I know that's legit?
00:22:19.000 Because under George W. Bush, Putin took parts of Georgia.
00:22:23.000 Under Barack Obama, he annexed Crimea.
00:22:26.000 And under Biden, he took the Donbass.
00:22:27.000 Under Trump, he didn't take an inch.
00:22:29.000 Your thoughts?
00:22:30.000 I may not completely agree with that.
00:22:32.000 Awesome.
00:22:33.000 I will...
00:22:33.000 I do...
00:22:39.000 I have one more question for argument's sake.
00:22:41.000 The biggest thing the left has in their favor is abortion.
00:22:45.000 What is the argument against abortion?
00:22:47.000 No, fair enough.
00:22:47.000 That's fine.
00:22:48.000 We did this earlier, and I'm happy to do it again.
00:22:50.000 So I'm just going to do a very simple syllogism, which is a one, two, three sequence.
00:22:54.000 Is that okay?
00:22:55.000 Yes, sir.
00:22:55.000 Okay.
00:22:56.000 So we both believe that murder is wrong and should be illegal.
00:22:59.000 Yes.
00:22:59.000 Right?
00:23:00.000 We both agree that an unborn life is a human life.
00:23:04.000 Therefore, the forcible termination of that human life is murder.
00:23:07.000 Therefore, it should be illegal.
00:23:09.000 Thank you.
00:23:10.000 Thank you.
00:23:16.000 Hey, how you doing tonight?
00:23:18.000 My name is Angie.
00:23:19.000 I haven't came here to disagree or anything because I'm actually undecided.
00:23:25.000 I haven't voted yet, but I'm planning on voting soon.
00:23:28.000 Because originally I was going to sit out because I was thinking, okay, this is both parties.
00:23:33.000 I don't...
00:23:33.000 It's too loud.
00:23:34.000 I hear you.
00:23:36.000 I also want to appreciate all the work you're doing, because I started watching your content about a month ago, so it's keeping my sanity so far.
00:23:45.000 So, yes, I was saying, what are your thoughts and comments about people who are undecided, who are still trying to do their research on both parties?
00:23:57.000 First of all, you deserve a lot of credit for being here tonight and having an open mind.
00:24:00.000 I wish we had more Americans like you.
00:24:06.000 Can I ask you, what one or two issues are most pressing for you in your life?
00:24:11.000 Let's see.
00:24:13.000 Pretty much the safety of our nation, because over time, it's been pretty much dangerous based on how, for example, like migrants.
00:24:25.000 That's another issue to the immigration, because I am passionate about it, and I do believe that even though America, just like any country, has its flaws, but for me, I'm grateful to be an American, so.
00:24:35.000 Amen.
00:24:36.000 Yeah.
00:24:36.000 So...
00:24:37.000 So let me tell you a couple things.
00:24:40.000 Under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, our immigration system has pushed us to the limit.
00:24:45.000 We have 10 million people.
00:24:47.000 We don't even know who they are, 13,000 of whom were prior convicted murderers, 15,000 of whom prior convicted rapists.
00:24:53.000 Under Donald Trump, we had the most secure border in history.
00:24:55.000 Now, mind you, we had a functioning legal immigration system for people that wanted to come here the right way.
00:25:01.000 Now, who here are the sons or daughters of immigrants?
00:25:03.000 Raise your hand.
00:25:04.000 So I want to just say, for everyone here that has a family member that immigrated legally, it is insulting to your family that your family had to follow the rules and somebody gets to cut in line and come into the country.
00:25:15.000 It's insulting.
00:25:17.000 And so...
00:25:19.000 Our immigration system should be about punishing bad behavior and rewarding good behavior.
00:25:25.000 It should be about if you're willing to wait in line and do the right job, then that will be rewarded.
00:25:30.000 And instead, it's so demoralizing.
00:25:32.000 For example, a family in Vietnam that wants to come here legally, and they look on their phone, all I have to do, I guess, is fly to Mexico and walk across the border, right?
00:25:41.000 It's just, it's demoralizing.
00:25:42.000 So that's number one.
00:25:43.000 Number two, on safety in general, Donald Trump will bring back Support for local communities to be able to instill law and order.
00:25:52.000 We've seen a spike in crime across the country the last couple of years.
00:25:55.000 And then the economy, I bet, is a big issue.
00:25:58.000 Maybe, maybe not for you.
00:25:59.000 It is for me.
00:26:00.000 Yeah.
00:26:00.000 It is on this.
00:26:01.000 Donald Trump will make inflation go down by lowering energy prices, by tax cuts.
00:26:09.000 For example, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security.
00:26:14.000 And finally...
00:26:18.000 Finally, Trump might say stuff you like or not like, or you might not be a fan.
00:26:22.000 You're actually not voting for Trump or Kamala.
00:26:24.000 You're voting for 5,000 people that will run your government.
00:26:28.000 So the type of people that you want are people like Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, people like Franklin Graham, by the way, who will be able to have, you know, a friendship with the President, that will then institute these policies.
00:26:41.000 And so if you're open-minded, I appreciate and respect that, but vote what is best on the policies because policies live longer than personalities.
00:26:50.000 And I do agree with that because um ever since when they came out to the election what's funny is at first as stated I was going to sit out I was like I'm not voting but a good friend named Steven who is a Trump supporter he's like no we're not gonna do that you're gonna get up there and vote so well I hope you do vote, and I want to use my favorite word in the English language, which is the word earn.
00:27:14.000 I hope we earn your vote and keep your vote, because I will say, when Trump was first president, I think he earned all of our votes.
00:27:20.000 We had no new wars, a secure border, and a great economy, so I hope he can earn your vote again this election.
00:27:25.000 Thank you.
00:27:26.000 God bless you.
00:27:27.000 you.
00:27:27.000 Thank you.
00:27:33.000 Nice to meet you.
00:27:33.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:27:33.000 I'm Alex.
00:27:35.000 My question is more of just a simple statement of, if banning guns will lead to the end of gun crime, how will banning abortion lead to back-alley abortions?
00:27:45.000 Oh, okay.
00:27:46.000 Well, first of all, there are two completely different things.
00:27:46.000 Yeah.
00:27:48.000 One is banning a technology, then one is forming, forbidding an action.
00:27:52.000 So we both agree that murder should be illegal, but we never contest that there would not be a black market illegal abortion market.
00:27:59.000 But first and foremost, you must get your morality right.
00:28:01.000 So we say that murder is wrong, stealing is wrong, theft is wrong, arson is wrong.
00:28:06.000 Those things still happen, but having a justice system that forbids those things is necessary for a civil society.
00:28:11.000 So the big thing with me is I'm against abortion.
00:28:15.000 In a way, I'd want to keep it legal.
00:28:16.000 The big part is just the...
00:28:18.000 And by keep it legal, I mean more in the fringe cases.
00:28:21.000 So, for example, there's a statistic that I saved sometime last year.
00:28:25.000 That's 92% of abortions are...
00:28:31.000 No reason is given, and like.001% is like incest, or.025 is rape, or I think.03 is harm to the mother.
00:28:41.000 It's very, very few.
00:28:42.000 Exactly.
00:28:43.000 If you actually go by the reasons of harm, it's less than half of a percent.
00:28:50.000 The main comparison I was bringing with the question is just more of banning guns will lead to the end of gun crime or there will be no more gun crime.
00:28:56.000 But banning abortions, oh, people are going to do it anyways.
00:28:58.000 It's just the dichotomy of that.
00:29:01.000 Oh, I see.
00:29:02.000 That's like a liberal talking point.
00:29:03.000 Fair enough.
00:29:03.000 Yeah, for sure.
00:29:06.000 It's self-contradictory.
00:29:07.000 And by the way, just so we're clear, and I think we could do a better job of bragging on the success of this, there are roughly 250,000 human beings that are alive in 10 states that have gotten rid of abortion, thanks to the reversal of Roe vs.
00:29:20.000 Wade.
00:29:20.000 We've seen the birth rates go up in these states.
00:29:22.000 And I don't think we celebrate that enough.
00:29:26.000 Again, my abortion position is not that of Donald Trump's.
00:29:29.000 I want to be very clear.
00:29:30.000 I am more pro-life than he is.
00:29:32.000 I wish he was more in that way, but it's all good.
00:29:35.000 He's the most pro-life president in history.
00:29:36.000 So if you are not with me on abortion, that is not a reason not to vote for Trump.
00:29:40.000 I just want to be clear.
00:29:41.000 I am on a multi-decade fight to try to open people's eyes to the horror of abortion.
00:29:47.000 I'm not going to waver on it, but I understand the political complication of the issue.
00:29:51.000 So thank you very much.
00:29:52.000 I appreciate it.
00:29:56.000 Hello.
00:29:57.000 I hope your family's doing amazing.
00:29:59.000 My name is Landon.
00:30:02.000 I'm 16 years old, and I got to a school that's predominantly liberal.
00:30:06.000 And last week, I went to the Trump rally that was here and came back to school with the Trump hoodie and this hat.
00:30:14.000 And I got posted on the story saying that I can't even vote.
00:30:18.000 And like I said, my school's predominantly liberal, so what message would you give to the people else?
00:30:23.000 What school is it?
00:30:24.000 Herford County Early College.
00:30:28.000 What is it again?
00:30:28.000 Sorry.
00:30:29.000 Hereford County, early college.
00:30:31.000 You're already in college at 16 years old?
00:30:33.000 It's early college.
00:30:34.000 I'm sorry.
00:30:35.000 Yeah, I don't.
00:30:36.000 I can't hear what you guys can.
00:30:37.000 The speaker is the other way.
00:30:39.000 What is early college?
00:30:40.000 Sorry.
00:30:41.000 Yeah.
00:30:41.000 I take high school classes and some college classes.
00:30:44.000 That's awesome.
00:30:45.000 Yeah, I'm behind the times.
00:30:46.000 We don't have that out west.
00:30:49.000 So, look, I guess your question is what can you do about it?
00:30:53.000 That and what message would you give to these people that are predominantly liberal?
00:30:59.000 Well, first, let me say this, is that I get this question all the time, and this applies to everybody.
00:31:03.000 And win or lose on Tuesday, this is so incredibly important, which is the left thrives.
00:31:10.000 This is one reason I really hope we're going to win.
00:31:12.000 I don't want to say we think we're going to win, but an argument in the favor that Trump is going to win.
00:31:16.000 Is that I truly believe our numbers are greater than anybody realizes because of how hard and difficult it is to speak your mind.
00:31:23.000 I think it's changing.
00:31:24.000 And by the way, let me just make a side note.
00:31:26.000 How many people that are not in college remember how much of a pariah that hat was eight years ago?
00:31:32.000 Do you remember that?
00:31:35.000 It's now become, I mean, there's still people I give you, but people are unafraid to now wear the hat in public, and it is a symbol of hope and optimism and positivity.
00:31:44.000 I just love seeing that.
00:31:46.000 And so, that wasn't your question.
00:31:49.000 Here's what I will say, and it's a general rule, which is that there are moments in life where someone is going to force you to do something against your value system.
00:32:02.000 What you do in that moment develops your character.
00:32:07.000 And unfortunately, we have a lot of people that will bend the knee when their character is tested.
00:32:15.000 And I'm not saying you're a bad person.
00:32:17.000 I'm not even saying you're weak.
00:32:18.000 You've got to do what you've got to do to pay the bills or to feed your family.
00:32:22.000 But I will say this, that I think it erodes your soul over a period of time to be somebody in private life In public life that you aren't in private life.
00:32:34.000 And so what to do about it?
00:32:36.000 You just say no.
00:32:37.000 No, I'm not going to take the hat off, actually.
00:32:39.000 Have a great day.
00:32:40.000 Thank you.
00:32:41.000 I'm not going to take the sweatshirt off.
00:32:43.000 Well, we're going to have to kick you out of class.
00:32:44.000 Okay, fine.
00:32:46.000 Like, go ahead.
00:32:47.000 Oh, and we're going to fire you from the job.
00:32:48.000 Okay, I'll find a new one.
00:32:50.000 And if 80 million Americans did that, we would take back the country overnight.
00:32:54.000 We would take back the country overnight if 80 million people did that.
00:32:58.000 And...
00:33:00.000 Let me be clear.
00:33:01.000 Don't be a jerk about it.
00:33:02.000 Don't make a scene.
00:33:03.000 Don't start filming for social media.
00:33:05.000 Just say no.
00:33:06.000 Go get your boss.
00:33:07.000 Go get your supervisor.
00:33:08.000 We're not going to do that.
00:33:09.000 And they thrive on being able to control us.
00:33:14.000 Their methods of control are intimidation, smear, and slander.
00:33:19.000 And so, as far as my message to the libs, go seek wisdom because you need it.
00:33:26.000 So, thank you.
00:33:28.000 Thank you.
00:33:29.000 Just a reminder, if you disagree, our team can bring you to the front of the line.
00:33:32.000 If not, we'll continue for about 30 more minutes.
00:33:34.000 First of all, I just want to say I'm grateful to be here.
00:33:37.000 One of the things I want to ask is how are we going to cut the, like, how much of a deficit we are in debt when we're cutting taxes?
00:33:43.000 It's a huge question.
00:33:45.000 Thank you for that.
00:33:46.000 People would say, Charlie, what is the one place where you might see things differently than Trump?
00:33:50.000 I am a deficit hawk.
00:33:52.000 I think we need a balanced budget and we need to cut government spending and that the $36 trillion debt is a disaster.
00:33:58.000 And again, I don't get much applause because people don't even understand the issue.
00:34:02.000 Your future is being...
00:34:04.000 Spent away on a daily basis.
00:34:06.000 Number one, we have to stop sending money to countries that we shouldn't be sending money to.
00:34:10.000 Stop spending $200 billion to Ukraine.
00:34:12.000 That's a good way to start.
00:34:14.000 Number two, we have to dramatically shrink some of our social welfare programs.
00:34:18.000 And I think people joke about this on Twitter because they think they're really smart.
00:34:22.000 But Elon Musk doing the Department of Government Efficiency, he absolutely can cut trillions of dollars out of the federal budget.
00:34:30.000 There is so much waste in the federal budget that has never been examined.
00:34:35.000 So Congress is a waste of time, right?
00:34:38.000 You know that there's a thing called baseline budgeting.
00:34:41.000 Do you guys know what baseline budgeting is?
00:34:42.000 It's so insane.
00:34:44.000 This is how DC works.
00:34:45.000 So when they tell you they're cutting spending, they're cutting the rate of growth of spending.
00:34:52.000 So baseline budgeting is that without any questions asked, you start at the prior baseline of where the budget was the year before.
00:35:00.000 So here's how insane it is.
00:35:01.000 If you're budgeting as a family, and you say, you know, okay, okay, family, we're bringing in $70,000 a year as a family.
00:35:08.000 And, you know, we have to Put some money in the bank for savings.
00:35:11.000 You want to pay the bills, pay the mortgage and groceries and insurance.
00:35:14.000 We want to take a vacation and all of that.
00:35:16.000 So then you come back the next year and let's say you end up spending $69,000 a year.
00:35:21.000 You come back the next year and you say, okay, we have to start at $69,000 a year.
00:35:28.000 You don't even re-examine all the costs from the year before.
00:35:31.000 You're going to be like, oh, we spent too much on vacation and all that.
00:35:33.000 In D.C., they start at how much they spent the year before, and they build on top of it, meaning no one has looked at these budgets for 40 years.
00:35:42.000 There's 40 years of built-up waste at the Department of Labor and the Department of Interior and the Department of Justice.
00:35:47.000 We're talking about like $55 hammers and trips to Argentina that we never even hear of.
00:35:52.000 So Elon Musk, who has famously done this at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and now at X, he loves firing people, man.
00:36:00.000 And Washington, D.C. needs a house cleaning.
00:36:03.000 Thank you.
00:36:07.000 I do want to say I agree with the efficiency with Elon Musk.
00:36:10.000 One of the things I disagree with is the tariffs.
00:36:12.000 I think the tariffs are going to just make the cost of goods more.
00:36:15.000 Smart question, but can I ask you a follow-up?
00:36:18.000 Yeah, go for it.
00:36:18.000 If tariffs did that, why didn't that happen during Trump's first term?
00:36:22.000 So first of all, I want to say I'm not familiar with how much percentage he put on a tariff.
00:36:26.000 It was 150 total tariffs.
00:36:28.000 Okay.
00:36:28.000 So I heard the next one is like 20% or something like that?
00:36:33.000 Yeah, so some were 10%, 15%.
00:36:36.000 And it's fine.
00:36:37.000 It's a lot of corporate garbage you've been fed.
00:36:39.000 But let me ask you, it's not a trick question because you're coming at it in good faith.
00:36:42.000 How does one avoid a tariff?
00:36:45.000 Well, if I'm a business and I get tariff 10-15%, I'm going to push it off to the consumer.
00:36:50.000 How do you avoid it, not pay it?
00:36:52.000 Well, yeah, not pay it, but if I'm...
00:36:54.000 How?
00:36:56.000 It's not a trick question.
00:36:58.000 Build a plant in North Carolina.
00:36:59.000 Right, yeah, or in America.
00:37:00.000 So what it does, and here's why, is every company wants to visit us.
00:37:04.000 And so we're the incumbent, advantaged power, the richest country in the world.
00:37:07.000 So tariffs are brilliant.
00:37:08.000 Anyone who told you differently is economically illiterate.
00:37:10.000 And I used to be, like, against tariffs.
00:37:12.000 Because here's why.
00:37:12.000 Take Toyota.
00:37:13.000 Toyota wants to sell their cars here.
00:37:15.000 So we have a 25% pickup trucks tariff.
00:37:18.000 Do you know that?
00:37:19.000 It's okay if you don't.
00:37:19.000 It's wonky stuff.
00:37:21.000 25% tariff on all pickup trucks imported.
00:37:23.000 So where does Toyota make their pickup trucks?
00:37:26.000 In Tennessee.
00:37:28.000 So what I'm saying is that all these companies will bend the knee to America and start opening factories across America and will employ millions of Americans and prices will not go up.
00:37:37.000 And it's okay, I'm just saying.
00:37:40.000 But here's the essence.
00:37:42.000 You are right that a sloppy corporate-funded analysis is these companies that hate the country don't want to open factories here, so they fund a bunch of studies that make it seem as if, oh, yes, of course you're right.
00:37:53.000 If you slap 20% on an import, It's on the surface is going to raise prices.
00:37:57.000 That's before they bend the knees.
00:37:59.000 What you do and Trump does is he gives them a window saying that I will not tariff you if you build your factory and I will give you a grace period until that factory opens.
00:38:08.000 Does that make sense?
00:38:09.000 Yeah, no, that completely changed my mind on it because I was just on the assumption that these businesses were just going to push it off onto the consumer.
00:38:16.000 No, for sure.
00:38:17.000 And that's correct if you're Portugal.
00:38:19.000 Right.
00:38:20.000 Because Portugal's a small country that isn't wealthy, so tariffs for them are very dangerous.
00:38:24.000 Like, again, Hyundai, Honda, Samsung, Toyota, Bayer drug company, right?
00:38:31.000 Porsche, Airbus, these major European and Asian companies, they're not sitting around and being like, man...
00:38:36.000 I wish we could get in the Portuguese market.
00:38:38.000 I mean, God bless them, right?
00:38:40.000 But if they lose access to the American market, they're done.
00:38:45.000 Anything to keep their products coming to this country.
00:38:47.000 So the condition is this.
00:38:48.000 You can sell as many Honda cars as you want.
00:38:51.000 Just open a factory in Florida.
00:38:53.000 Open a factory in Tennessee.
00:38:54.000 You could sell as many Samsung devices as you want.
00:38:57.000 And so what it is, it's a brilliant forcing function if and only if you are the wealthiest country and the one that they want to do business with.
00:39:03.000 Right.
00:39:04.000 And we are.
00:39:04.000 Right.
00:39:05.000 Bingo.
00:39:05.000 And that's why we should be proud and make this country great again.
00:39:08.000 Thank you.
00:39:10.000 And let me expand on that, guys.
00:39:13.000 We are so strong and powerful, we rarely ever show that strength on the world stage.
00:39:19.000 This is why they hate Trump.
00:39:20.000 He doesn't come with a negotiating power that we're like other countries.
00:39:24.000 He says, no, we're actually in charge.
00:39:25.000 We're in control.
00:39:26.000 And our people deserve better, because they've been used and abused for the last couple decades.
00:39:30.000 And it's about time that we start playing those chips.
00:39:32.000 It's like a guy at the poker table that has 99% of the chips, and he never plays them.
00:39:37.000 And he lets all the other people just kind of go around.
00:39:39.000 It's like, no, actually, I'm going to call your bluff, because you don't have the chips.
00:39:43.000 I see you, Toyota.
00:39:44.000 You can't do this.
00:39:45.000 Your stock will crater.
00:39:46.000 You will go bankrupt.
00:39:47.000 Let the American market.
00:39:48.000 Honda does not exist.
00:39:49.000 So anyway, yes, next question.
00:39:51.000 I am a huge fan.
00:39:52.000 I love you so much.
00:39:53.000 But I just have a question on how you feel about California's new no identification law for voting and the burning of the ballot boxes.
00:40:05.000 Well, the burning of ballot boxes is really dangerous and sad.
00:40:09.000 So if you have a mail-in ballot, please bring it all the way to a voting center and watch it be counted if you submit a mail-in ballot.
00:40:15.000 Thankfully, North Carolina, I bet you guys are all in-person voting people.
00:40:18.000 Am I right?
00:40:19.000 Yeah, okay.
00:40:20.000 Smart people.
00:40:21.000 Yeah, I mean, you always have to ask the question when you see something insane, why?
00:40:26.000 So why not check an ID? And the reason is, of course, it's easier to cheat.
00:40:31.000 That's why.
00:40:32.000 Is that no other civilized country, France, Belgium, Switzerland, would have elections without IDs.
00:40:40.000 But they want it because they want to be able to have a bunch of foreign citizens be able to vote if they want to.
00:40:46.000 And so, again, the things that are necessary for you to be able to use an ID in this country, board an airplane, purchase liquor, are numerous.
00:40:55.000 But if you want to vote, you just have to claim you are who you are.
00:41:01.000 Thank you.
00:41:03.000 And by the way, we've got to get back to one day of voting paper ballots and voter ID in this country.
00:41:07.000 We've got to get back to that.
00:41:13.000 Hi Charlie, my name is Abby.
00:41:15.000 I am a very very big fan and I'm gonna ask you a two-part question on a topic I'm very very passionate about and that would be critical race theory.
00:41:25.000 Okay, so my first question is just your general thoughts and feelings about critical race theory.
00:41:33.000 Very much against it.
00:41:35.000 So people say, what is CRT? Let me do it in like 10 words.
00:41:39.000 It's actually less.
00:41:40.000 Call everything racist until you control it.
00:41:45.000 That's what it is.
00:41:46.000 Call everything racist until you control it.
00:41:48.000 That's seven words.
00:41:48.000 So that's what CRT basically is.
00:41:50.000 Okay, and the second part is, what would your recommendation be to counteract the implementation of critical race theory in the classroom, particularly in higher education?
00:42:03.000 So higher education is a harder one because there is an argument to be made that you want to have different viewpoints presented.
00:42:08.000 But, yeah, look, I would ask a question first and foremost.
00:42:15.000 Are you being force-fed CRT, basically?
00:42:18.000 Yeah.
00:42:19.000 Here at UCU? Yeah.
00:42:24.000 Yeah, I'm not too optimistic about your governor's race, otherwise I'd say that you get a governor to get rid of it.
00:42:28.000 Maybe I'm wrong.
00:42:29.000 Maybe something will be a surprise.
00:42:30.000 I'm not too bullish on that one.
00:42:31.000 So what you can do about it, I mean, I personally would not go to a school that offers critical race theory.
00:42:36.000 I think it's a complete waste of time, money, and you're being scammed.
00:42:38.000 That's the case, but that's just me.
00:42:39.000 But, yeah, I mean, you should fight it and call it out for the fraud that it is and become an expert on it.
00:42:44.000 There's some amazing writers.
00:42:46.000 James Lindsay is incredible on this.
00:42:48.000 There's New Discourse.
00:42:49.000 There's a website that's great on this, Cynical Theories.
00:42:51.000 But, yeah, I mean, you can go all the way back to the foundational core of what critical race theory is, which is they believe that racism is normative.
00:42:57.000 They believe it's the systems of oppression.
00:42:59.000 They believe, basically, if you have white skin color, that you are racist inherently, even though you don't realize it.
00:43:04.000 And it would be the downfall of America if this were to be implemented.
00:43:07.000 I completely and totally agree.
00:43:09.000 Fight it and call it what it is, which is bigotry and has no place in America.
00:43:13.000 God bless you.
00:43:13.000 Thank you.
00:43:14.000 Thank you so much.
00:43:18.000 Hey Charlie, I'm Ella.
00:43:21.000 I'm just curious, what advice would you give to women who want to have a very active role in being mothers, but also have careers?
00:43:31.000 Great question.
00:43:32.000 So, as a man, I will give you advice.
00:43:36.000 I will give you advice that no one will give you, but you'll never forget it, which is we do it all wrong.
00:43:41.000 We say pursue the career first, then the family, but we should say pursue the family first, then the career.
00:43:47.000 And let me prove it to you.
00:43:48.000 Only one of those things runs out.
00:43:50.000 The clock runs out on one of those things.
00:43:53.000 And so, doesn't it make more sense to do the thing that the clock is going to run out?
00:43:57.000 Secondly, which one matters more?
00:43:59.000 Family matters more.
00:44:00.000 So do the thing that matters more earlier, not the thing that matters more later.
00:44:04.000 Now the only argument is, but Charlie, I don't have as much money.
00:44:06.000 Fair enough.
00:44:08.000 But, I'll be honest, the amount of money that you have does not equal the amount of joy that you have in parenting.
00:44:13.000 I can say this from somebody who has been around a lot of rich people that are lacking in a lot of joy and a lot of depth, and they have a lot of money, and The excuses people make to not have kids, not you, is remarkable.
00:44:27.000 And we are the lowest ever rates of fertility in our country's history.
00:44:32.000 And there are a lot of reasons for this.
00:44:34.000 We have told young ladies to prioritize to go become a CEO of a shoe company above having children, if they want to have children.
00:44:42.000 By the way, use your agency.
00:44:43.000 If you guys want to go be a boss babe, go do it, right?
00:44:46.000 Your free country, go do it.
00:44:47.000 However, I will tell you, you might end up miserable.
00:44:50.000 You might.
00:44:51.000 And the most miserable people in America, by definition, just based on who's getting no psychiatric medication, is young single women in their early 30s.
00:44:58.000 Like, half of them are on benzodiazepines, Zoloft, Xanax.
00:45:03.000 And it's fine, I wish them well, but there is a gaping biological urge that is screaming at them, which is, can we reproduce and mother something?
00:45:12.000 And that is why, when you walk down downtown Raleigh, you see women at parks with dog strollers.
00:45:18.000 And there's nothing against it.
00:45:19.000 I love dogs, by the way.
00:45:20.000 But there's like the motherly impulse is projected onto the chihuahua.
00:45:25.000 And they're like screaming at the, you know what I'm talking about?
00:45:29.000 And they're screaming at the world like, I want to mother something.
00:45:32.000 I want to steward something.
00:45:34.000 And shame on our society for not saying the most brave thing that you could do is have children.
00:45:38.000 The most heroic thing you can do is bring new life into this world.
00:45:42.000 And People say, oh, I'm just a stay-at-home mom.
00:45:46.000 Oh, you mean you're just a thing that makes the entire world work?
00:45:49.000 You're just the most important thing?
00:45:51.000 I always laugh when someone says, yeah, you know, I'm a data scientist at Dropbox or something.
00:45:57.000 I'm like, okay, I don't care in some, like, dimly lit data center.
00:46:01.000 You know what really is exciting?
00:46:02.000 Is when, like, a homeschool mom comes up to me, she's like, I have seven kids and we're going for eight.
00:46:06.000 I'm like, you go!
00:46:08.000 Like, that's amazing!
00:46:10.000 Which one is the hero?
00:46:12.000 The person like earning $200,000 a year slaving away writing code in some dimly lit fluorescent office building?
00:46:20.000 Or the woman in the back mountains that has, you know, more guns than she can count and a husband that's actually a man that's like raising a colony?
00:46:36.000 I think, again, I want to be very clear.
00:46:38.000 Having children is very hard.
00:46:40.000 It's very hard.
00:46:41.000 We have two kids under two.
00:46:42.000 It is not easy.
00:46:43.000 But it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life.
00:46:45.000 And I can say that.
00:46:46.000 As someone who's done some pretty awesome things at age 31, I've traveled the world, been in Air Force One a couple times, friends with the president, right?
00:46:53.000 Been on every possible amazing scenario you can imagine.
00:46:56.000 Know the wealthiest people on the planet.
00:46:58.000 All that.
00:46:58.000 It is nothing compared to being able to be a father.
00:47:01.000 It is nothing compared to it.
00:47:03.000 It is...
00:47:04.000 I would trade it all in a second.
00:47:06.000 And so you are pursuing emptiness when you are doing that.
00:47:09.000 So I hope that's helpful.
00:47:11.000 Yeah, that's helpful.
00:47:12.000 Thank you so much.
00:47:13.000 So great to meet you.
00:47:13.000 God bless you.
00:47:14.000 Thank you.
00:47:14.000 Have Mormon levels of children, okay?
00:47:19.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:47:20.000 I'm a really big fan.
00:47:21.000 My name is Ava.
00:47:22.000 And one of the biggest things that I'm worried about is immigration right now.
00:47:28.000 And being that we do have such an open border, I really hope that Trump comes in and takes care of it.
00:47:34.000 But what do you think the plan should be after we get back to the border that we need?
00:47:40.000 So number one, we have to deport people that are actively and have committed crimes here on our homeland.
00:47:45.000 And the first one is underappreciated.
00:47:49.000 Okay, murder, rape, blah, blah, blah.
00:47:51.000 The one that Biden, he got no condemnation for this, is that DUIs used to be a deportable offense.
00:47:59.000 And it isn't any longer.
00:48:01.000 I've lost friends to drunk drivers.
00:48:03.000 And if you have committed DUI, you go back to your country of origin immediately.
00:48:07.000 There should be no questions asked.
00:48:09.000 It jeopardizes the safety of everybody.
00:48:11.000 And by the way, just so we're clear, some of these stories you see of these young 12-year-old kids getting mowed over by a drunk illegal, it's like they're third or fourth DUI, and they're not getting deported.
00:48:22.000 Then we have to have a process where, number one, we make it very, very hard to be an illegal in this country.
00:48:28.000 We have to use E-Verify.
00:48:29.000 We have to employ American citizens.
00:48:31.000 We have to crack down on Social Security fraud.
00:48:33.000 And quite honestly, there will be some form of like self-deportation where people go back to their country of origin.
00:48:39.000 And then finally, the 10 million people that came under Joe Biden, as they surface, they need to be deported back to their country.
00:48:46.000 As we discover them, they say, okay, you're going back.
00:48:48.000 You know, there's flights leaving, you know, every night out of Charlotte, and here you go, you're going back.
00:48:53.000 Any sane country does that.
00:48:54.000 If you break illegally into Mexico, they send you back to your country.
00:48:57.000 You break into Israel, they send you back to our country.
00:49:00.000 You break into America, you get a luxury hotel, you get a taxpayer-funded cell phone, and food benefits.
00:49:06.000 It's time that we put you guys first, not people that broke into our homeland.
00:49:10.000 Thank you.
00:49:15.000 Hey Charlie, my name is Melissa.
00:49:17.000 I watch a lot of your content, and one thing that I haven't seen touched a lot that I really wanted your view on was early voting.
00:49:24.000 As you can see, there's a lot of people in here that early vote.
00:49:27.000 And prior to the 2020 election, we have been able to all vote in one day and know who the president is by the end of the day.
00:49:35.000 However, now we have two weeks to vote.
00:49:36.000 You can come in and register the same day and vote the same day, which takes the thought process out of it.
00:49:41.000 Can you register same day here?
00:49:44.000 Can you really?
00:49:44.000 Wow, I didn't know that.
00:49:45.000 When I turned 18, I went to the Board of Elections and registered because I knew that's my civic duty.
00:49:50.000 That's what I wanted to do.
00:49:52.000 And I just wanted to hear your thought on allowing us two weeks to vote, and then some states still saying that by November 5th, they're still not going to know who the president is by the end of the night due to an absurd amount of manly ballots.
00:50:06.000 It's an outrage.
00:50:06.000 I will say, it's a screwed-up system.
00:50:08.000 We have to embrace early voting, and I'm glad that we are, because it is screwed up, and let me tell you why.
00:50:13.000 Is that...
00:50:15.000 If the other side has 30 days to get their voters out, and we have one day, they're going to win.
00:50:21.000 They have more opportunities to get people out that might have conflicts, kids getting sick, COVID, flat tires.
00:50:27.000 In Arizona, with Carrie Lake's election back in 2022, half of our voting centers just went down.
00:50:32.000 And we had four-hour waiting lines and thousands of people just left line.
00:50:36.000 And left the line and went home.
00:50:37.000 So that's number one.
00:50:39.000 Number two is that our movement is so big, it's now very hard to fit all of us in just one day.
00:50:46.000 And here's a good thing.
00:50:47.000 Think about it.
00:50:48.000 So all these people have basically voted, like the whole room.
00:50:50.000 Well, now you guys can spend your time to go find other voters and bring them to the voting booth.
00:50:55.000 However, we should be very clear.
00:50:57.000 We need to get back to one day.
00:50:58.000 We need a French model of elections.
00:51:00.000 One day of voting, paper ballots, and voter ID. I don't think voting month is good.
00:51:05.000 And you make a very good point.
00:51:06.000 Think about it.
00:51:07.000 So wait, it takes us 30 days to vote in some states, like Arizona, and you still need another two weeks to count the ballots?
00:51:14.000 I think it's wrong and bad for the psyche of a nation that we're not going to know who our next president is for days after.
00:51:21.000 I think it's really bad.
00:51:22.000 I think it's almost like a form of taunting and abuse.
00:51:25.000 Now, selfishly, it's really good for the Charlie Kirk Show because we stream and we get like 3 million people.
00:51:31.000 So make sure you watch on election night, everybody.
00:51:34.000 We're going to be doing our coverage.
00:51:37.000 In Arizona, they say it's going to take two weeks.
00:51:41.000 And then also, the earlier you vote, I feel that the longer that people have to tamper with your vote, how do you feel about that?
00:51:47.000 I personally plan on driving back to my hometown to vote where I registered the day on November 5th, the day of election.
00:51:54.000 I have nothing against that.
00:51:55.000 I will say, though, that people that are lower likelihood to vote, it's better that they vote early than not vote at all.
00:52:01.000 And voting in person is the ideal.
00:52:03.000 In person early voting would be the next.
00:52:06.000 Thank you so much.
00:52:07.000 And I will say one other thing, guys, which is, for those that voted early, imagine if another hurricane hit the state.
00:52:13.000 Right?
00:52:14.000 Imagine what that would do to voter turnout.
00:52:16.000 So you were very smart to vote early and bank your vote.
00:52:19.000 God forbid another crazy act comes into this state.
00:52:23.000 So I just want to applaud you for that.
00:52:24.000 Yes, sir.
00:52:25.000 My name's Josh.
00:52:26.000 I'm 40 years old and I am that washed up, just completely broken out kind of person that's on the fringes of society that I've been clawing my life back since 2006.
00:52:38.000 What are we supposed to be doing to reach out to the people who are convicted felons, veterans, people with substance abuse problems?
00:52:48.000 How can we better do that?
00:52:49.000 And also, I have your latest bullet, and I was wondering if you...
00:52:52.000 I will sign it, yes.
00:52:53.000 Can felons vote in North Carolina?
00:52:55.000 Yes, they can?
00:52:56.000 No?
00:52:56.000 Yes?
00:52:56.000 They can.
00:52:57.000 They can?
00:52:57.000 Because in Arizona, they cannot.
00:53:00.000 It's amazing.
00:53:00.000 In the felon population, they're very, very pro-Trump.
00:53:04.000 Very pro-Trump.
00:53:05.000 We need to do a better job of that.
00:53:07.000 And also just removing...
00:53:08.000 It depends on your crime.
00:53:10.000 I don't know what all...
00:53:11.000 Some felonies are worse than others, but I'm happy to sign it, yeah.
00:53:15.000 We need to do a better job of reaching out to that.
00:53:17.000 Thank you.
00:53:18.000 Buy the book, by the way.
00:53:20.000 Thank you.
00:53:21.000 All right, we'll take two or three more.
00:53:23.000 Any disagreements?
00:53:23.000 No?
00:53:24.000 Yeah?
00:53:24.000 We went through all the libs in ECU. Got it, so.
00:53:29.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:53:30.000 My name is David.
00:53:31.000 Oh, we got one?
00:53:31.000 Oh, look at that.
00:53:32.000 Bring him up, yeah.
00:53:33.000 Oh, does he have a Kennedy shirt?
00:53:34.000 Cool.
00:53:35.000 That's all right.
00:53:35.000 We'll go here.
00:53:37.000 My name is David.
00:53:37.000 I'm happy to see you here.
00:53:39.000 I got new content about two months ago.
00:53:41.000 I used to avoid it because of the titles and click-baity stuff, but...
00:53:45.000 You've convinced me and enlightened me on a lot of things.
00:53:48.000 From watching a lot of it, though, I did want to get your take on lobbying.
00:53:52.000 I don't really see much about it.
00:53:54.000 To me, though, it seems like legal bribery, in a sense.
00:53:59.000 Let me try to have you think about it differently.
00:54:01.000 Is that okay?
00:54:01.000 So, I would agree on, like, the war industry, pharmaceuticals.
00:54:04.000 But let me give you one example.
00:54:07.000 Mothers Against Drunk Driving is an organization composed of moms who lost their kids to drunk drivers.
00:54:14.000 When they're lobbying, are they bribing officials?
00:54:17.000 I wouldn't necessarily say...
00:54:19.000 No, for sure.
00:54:20.000 You'd be amazed at how many lobbying groups are...
00:54:24.000 This is why it's hard to outlaw.
00:54:26.000 Because I agree, the stuff that gets the headlines is naked corruption.
00:54:29.000 It's awful and it's terrible.
00:54:30.000 Because you get people like Big Tech...
00:54:31.000 No, for sure.
00:54:32.000 Yeah, but it's hard to say we can't lobby because it is First Amendment protected.
00:54:38.000 Let's say you and I Have an environmental issue, and there's like an oil spill in North Carolina.
00:54:43.000 Shouldn't we have a right to form an organization and go up to North Carolina and lobby Tom Tillis and Ted Budd?
00:54:49.000 You know what I mean?
00:54:49.000 Right.
00:54:50.000 And that's technically lobbying, and it's good.
00:54:52.000 Are you a conservative, I would imagine, ish?
00:54:54.000 Yeah, I am.
00:54:55.000 I think it's a good thing that we previously, the NRA is going through a tough time, but we have, you know, gun lobbying.
00:55:01.000 I think it's good that those rights are protected, right?
00:55:04.000 However, here's the bigger issue, because...
00:55:08.000 The mother against drunk driving is not the issue.
00:55:10.000 The bigger issue is money and politics.
00:55:13.000 That's the bigger issue, is that we need some sort of, and I agree with the Young Turk people with this, there's something bad to the psyche of the country.
00:55:24.000 If you have candidates, I get you have to cut deals, but if you are overemphasizing who's funding your campaign more than the people that are going to vote for you, the system is broken.
00:55:35.000 And Donald Trump, he, like, doesn't care.
00:55:37.000 I mean, he says whatever he wants.
00:55:38.000 And so we need some sort of sensible bipartisan campaign finance reform.
00:55:43.000 Right, and that's why I appreciate what Trump does, because he doesn't accept the big pharma lobbyists.
00:55:48.000 That's right.
00:55:49.000 But to me, it just feels, I guess in politics, it almost feels disingenuous of a politician, because their stances then start to stray more towards what the lobbyists want, rather than knowing what's true to what that, say, presidential candidate could feel.
00:56:02.000 Like, Trump is an exception.
00:56:03.000 No, so yeah, there's, so I want to be clear.
00:56:05.000 You're right.
00:56:06.000 So, how do you outlaw it?
00:56:10.000 There's really not a great solution unless you do this.
00:56:13.000 Here's the best solution that I've heard.
00:56:15.000 That you need to fix who can donate to campaigns.
00:56:18.000 So you should say if you're a registered lobbyist, you can't donate to a campaign.
00:56:22.000 Number two, fix who can donate to political action committees.
00:56:26.000 So basically what you need to do, you need to say if you're a lobbyist or associated lobbying, we put you on an island.
00:56:31.000 Like, you have no ability to influence these candidates.
00:56:33.000 That would put them on ice for a while.
00:56:35.000 Does that make sense?
00:56:35.000 So if you're a lobbyist for Pfizer, For example, which made a lot of the shots that you guys are mandated, you can't give money to politics.
00:56:44.000 Like, that would change things.
00:56:46.000 So, thank you for the kind words, man.
00:56:48.000 God bless you.
00:56:49.000 Thank you.
00:56:50.000 Kennedy shirt.
00:56:51.000 I love it.
00:56:52.000 How you doing, man?
00:56:53.000 I just want to start by saying I really like the community you've cultivated.
00:56:57.000 I actually like you a lot.
00:56:59.000 My question is about DEI. I know your stance is negative on it, right?
00:57:03.000 And I would agree with you that giving somebody a job on the basis of race, the color of your skin is absolutely unconstitutional.
00:57:11.000 I would completely agree with you.
00:57:13.000 Now, the gray area I have, which the disagreement is why I came to the front here, has been seeded in me by family members.
00:57:20.000 I have two blind aunts and a blind mother.
00:57:23.000 They have a genetic disorder.
00:57:24.000 Have you ever heard of the Randolph Shepard Act?
00:57:26.000 Sorry, I'm having difficulty hearing you just because of the speakers.
00:57:29.000 I heard you have a blind mother, is that right?
00:57:31.000 Yeah, I have a blind mother and two blind aunts.
00:57:33.000 It's a rare genetic disease.
00:57:35.000 But have you ever heard of the Randolph Shepard Act?
00:57:38.000 No.
00:57:38.000 Okay, it's a federal act that gives priority to blind people to work in federal government positions, not necessarily within the federal government, but contracting.
00:57:49.000 My mother, she does vending machine work at Fort Bragg, and now it's Fort Liberty.
00:57:55.000 I think that's beautiful.
00:57:56.000 And let me tell you why the distinction.
00:57:58.000 But I think we could also find agreement.
00:58:00.000 I don't think that, and this will sound a little cruel, but hear me out, your blind mother should be flying F-16s.
00:58:07.000 Well, of course.
00:58:08.000 I mean, like, just giving them, so under the Act, they have priority to maintain their privately owned business, which is subsidized to the state through the Services for the Blind and the North Carolina Lions Club.
00:58:20.000 But basically, it gives her the right to maintain that ownership of her own business without being kicked out from Starbucks or something.
00:58:27.000 Do you want to ask the question on top of it?
00:58:29.000 Because I have a thought on this.
00:58:30.000 So my question is, this concern, I'm going to vote for Trump.
00:58:33.000 No, no, no.
00:58:34.000 Yeah, I got it.
00:58:34.000 My concern is brought to me through my aunt.
00:58:38.000 She is completely against Trump.
00:58:40.000 She wants to vote for Trump for that very reason.
00:58:42.000 She thinks that because of diversity, equity, inclusion, it will be found unconstitutional, that act in particular.
00:58:49.000 No, no, no.
00:58:49.000 So this is important.
00:58:50.000 So the criteria that we...
00:58:52.000 What we are against at DEI is characteristics that do not matter or impact.
00:58:57.000 For example, skin color.
00:58:58.000 We find skin color to be irrelevant to somebody's character or performance, intellect or value.
00:59:05.000 Now, I will say that when you look at characteristics that should be factored in, or at least given an advantage for, is disabilities.
00:59:13.000 So we're very pro helping people with disabilities.
00:59:17.000 However, in order to say that DEI is the same as helping people that are blind, Your aunt would have to be saying that black people have a disability, which I know she's not saying.
00:59:27.000 Right?
00:59:27.000 Right, of course.
00:59:28.000 So she's not saying that, and maybe if you connect those dots, she would probably take a step back.
00:59:32.000 The reason that that will never be found unconstitutional is disability protections have always been found constitutional.
00:59:39.000 Whereas when it's presented from the Supreme Court, Skin color criteria, by definition, our laws are supposed to be skin color neutral.
00:59:48.000 Does that make sense?
00:59:49.000 Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
00:59:50.000 And that's something that I tried to talk to her about, but she raised these questions in me.
00:59:55.000 It's a good question!
00:59:56.000 It seemed to me that it's sort of a gray area with that law in particular.
01:00:00.000 Just think about...
01:00:03.000 Characteristics that we should care about and that we shouldn't care about.
01:00:07.000 Does that make sense?
01:00:08.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:00:09.000 And so skin color we shouldn't care about.
01:00:10.000 If somebody has a disability, we have a moral obligation to try to give them a hand up.
01:00:15.000 If somebody is wheelchair-bound, if somebody is blind, as you say, or deaf, then I think it is in the very basic need that we can to help those people.
01:00:25.000 So thank you very much.
01:00:25.000 I appreciate it.
01:00:26.000 Thank you.
01:00:28.000 I'm driving all three of them to the polls on Tuesday.
01:00:32.000 I love it.
01:00:33.000 Three of us, I know, will be voting for Trump.
01:00:34.000 Great.
01:00:35.000 Thank you.
01:00:39.000 Hi Charlie, thank you for being here.
01:00:41.000 I've been watching you since I was 14 years old, so it's great to finally see you.
01:00:44.000 We are going through one of the worst periods of cultural rot we've ever seen in this country and frankly some of the worst in Western civilization.
01:00:51.000 The people in the highest positions of powers have decided to invert that good is evil and evil is good.
01:00:56.000 There's so many times that, especially being my age, I'm only 21 years old, it's so hard to see a future in this country and it's so hard to, it's just hard to see what's happening.
01:01:05.000 How do we fight back against this cultural rot that's so intentional and deliberate?
01:01:09.000 There's only one answer, and that's Jesus Christ.
01:01:10.000 The answer to all of our...
01:01:12.000 And that's the only answer.
01:01:13.000 And when you do not...
01:01:17.000 And you said it, and I don't know if you did it intentionally or not, but it's brilliant.
01:01:20.000 Isaiah said, woe to you who calls good evil and evil good.
01:01:24.000 When you remove the belief in the transcendent and God, then there is no absolute morality, and that will be the death of the West.
01:01:30.000 We need a political victory on Tuesday so that we can lead towards a spiritual revival the next week and in the next year after that.
01:01:38.000 Thank you very much.
01:01:39.000 Thank you.
01:01:41.000 This will be the final question.
01:01:43.000 Yeah, make it good.
01:01:44.000 In fact, this is the last question of our whole tour.
01:01:48.000 You better not swing in this, man.
01:01:51.000 Hey Charlie, my name's Jay.
01:01:53.000 I skipped the whole college phase and it turned out to be one of the best decisions.
01:01:57.000 I like you already, so this is going.
01:01:59.000 It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made.
01:02:02.000 I'm more successful than anyone ever thought I'd be at 20 years old.
01:02:06.000 And my question is, I work with lower class people and some of the highest class people you can deal with.
01:02:12.000 And how would I approach people who are closed-minded about and try and get them out to vote?
01:02:19.000 Because some of them are immigrants.
01:02:21.000 And some of them are just closed mind who drank the Kool-Aid.
01:02:25.000 You need to ask questions.
01:02:26.000 Say, do you care about what happens to your country?
01:02:28.000 You know, do you care about, do you think what you do actually matters?
01:02:32.000 Everybody, this is a great closing question.
01:02:34.000 Because if we do not have historic turnout on Tuesday, then we're not going to win.
01:02:41.000 And I'll be honest with you, I'm encouraged but a little worried that so many hands went up of people that voted.
01:02:48.000 Because you guys are what would be considered high propensity voters.
01:02:51.000 So we have a lot of work to do ahead of Tuesday to make sure that the people that don't go to these rallies actually end up voting.
01:02:57.000 And so I'm glad you guys voted because now I don't have to worry about you going to go vote or, you know, getting sick or whatever.
01:03:03.000 But if we don't do a good job to go find another 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 people and just sit it out, Kamala is going to become president.
01:03:11.000 And you guys know this state is razor thin right now.
01:03:14.000 It is, how much money are they, how many ads have you guys seen?
01:03:18.000 Too many, right?
01:03:19.000 Exactly.
01:03:21.000 This state will be won or lost based on the extra friend you bring to the polls.
01:03:26.000 And let me just tell you guys, on Tuesday when you wake up, has in-person early voting continued or is it over now?
01:03:32.000 It's still going?
01:03:33.000 Well then, every single day you guys should be trying to bring people out to the polls.
01:03:37.000 Let me give you some advice.
01:03:39.000 You know, take a picture of yourself at an event and text it to a hundred people in your phone.
01:03:44.000 Be like, have you voted?
01:03:45.000 Have you voted?
01:03:47.000 And this is the time to go absolutely nuts for your country, everybody, because the bad guys are giving everything we can, and we can too.
01:03:53.000 Thank you so much for your question.
01:03:54.000 Thank you.
01:03:55.000 All right, guys.
01:03:58.000 We need to win this state.
01:04:00.000 Do everything you can to drive turnout.
01:04:02.000 It would be amazing to see Eastern Carolina University be a little red precinct.
01:04:07.000 How about that?
01:04:08.000 Let's make this area red.
01:04:09.000 God bless you guys, and thank you so much.
01:04:11.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
