00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk Show, Congresswoman Lauren Bobert from Colorado.
00:00:06.000A fun and engaging conversation with her from our Turning Point USA Young Women's Leadership Summit.
00:00:13.000If you want to come to our next summit, go to tpusa.com slash SAS.
00:00:20.000The Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida is coming up July 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th.
00:00:28.000We will have Kaylee McEnany there again.
00:00:30.000Donald Trump Jr., Mike Pompeo, Dan Bongino, Ted Cruz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Rick Scott, Pete Hegseth, Judge Judine Pirro, Benny Johnson, Jesse Waters, Kat Timpf, Greg Gutfeld, Jack Pasebek, Congressman Byron Donalds, and many other amazing speakers.
00:00:53.000If you want to join us in Tampa, Florida, I will be there and I would love to see you.
00:01:09.000We would love to see you in Tampa, Florida.
00:01:12.000Turning Point USA Student Action Summit for you and adult tickets are available in Tampa, Florida.
00:01:19.000It's the most amazing event of the year.
00:01:22.000Maybe you want to fly in and make a trip out of it.
00:01:24.000And I could tell you, for those of you that might have had a little trouble getting in last time in December, we'll have no such problems this time.
00:01:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:11.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need on a traditional chain storefront.
00:02:17.000Why endure often pointless and seemingly intimidating questioning and wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer or her computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry?
00:02:27.000You have computers with access to Rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:02:32.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money and that you can then use for other important things like mortgages or food.
00:02:39.000Why choose to spend 30, 50 or 100 more?
00:03:45.000So you're one of the most press-savvy people I have seen in the Republican Party, which is something we've been missing.
00:03:52.000You literally took a carve out of Kamala Harris and brought it to the board, which was hilarious.
00:03:57.000But before we get into kind of how you navigate PR, which I think is great and how much Democrats hate you, which I really like, can you talk about your story?
00:04:05.000Because you were just a mom with a gun store or something.
00:05:18.000So with that first paycheck came pride and empowerment.
00:05:22.000And I saw that I could do a better job taking care of myself than government could.
00:05:25.000So I took those same principles and applied them throughout my life.
00:05:30.000I counseled women at the Garfield County Jail at our local jail and showed them that they didn't have to be dependent on government.
00:05:38.000They didn't need to wait for those handouts, that their life wasn't over because they had made a mistake.
00:05:42.000The American dream is still alive and well.
00:05:45.000And I've always been an example of that.
00:05:48.000And everything I've done is because of the possibilities that this country provides, the opportunities that are provided in this country.
00:05:56.000And so I would go into the jail, minister to these women.
00:05:59.000I would have the opportunity, Charlie, to personally introduce them to the God who can turn their shame into glory, to restore whatever their past looked like and lead and guide and launch them into a glorious future.
00:07:03.000So I've always been an advocate for the Second Amendment, but I started developing just a passion for the Constitution after reading it and studying it.
00:07:13.000And I fell in love with the American dream and the opportunities that are in this country.
00:07:18.000And I want to make sure those are available for generations to come.
00:08:08.000There is enough meat for July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's, and Tax Day.
00:08:18.000And I know you need to eat a lot on Tax Day because that's not a good day.
00:08:24.000But my friends, the Good Ranchers, they've traveled the entire United States and met with actual people, real farmers, not the corporate hacks.
00:08:30.000Look, Good Ranchers, they love their country.
00:08:31.000Unlike all these wokesters and they sell you this fake vegan meat made in a laboratory with Bill Gates and underwater or whatever he's doing.
00:08:39.000This is real because their product is 100% American.
00:08:42.000When you buy steak and chicken from good ranchers, not only are you getting amazing meat, but you're also supporting American farms.
00:08:47.000In fact, producer Connor, I went back to go into the freezer and all the meat was gone.
00:09:10.000You get the meat delivered to your door and you don't have to go grocery shopping, no more lines, no more mystery meat, none of that stuff.
00:10:35.000So I think it's kind of started with Beto O'Rourke.
00:10:38.000So I've, like I said, I advocate for the Second Amendment, just running my mouth in my restaurant in my town and stomping my foot when Democrats start taking our rights away.
00:10:48.000We have magazine limits in Colorado and all sorts of stuff, red flag laws and everything.
00:10:54.000And so Beto O'Rourke slipped up from a presidential debate stage and he said, hell yes, we're going to take your guns.
00:11:01.000And we've been told for years, nobody's taking your guns.
00:11:52.000They didn't have a way to protect themselves.
00:11:54.000There's even a story of one gentleman in the Aurora theater who was a concealed carry permit holder.
00:12:01.000And the story is that his girlfriend asked him not to carry his gun that night.
00:12:06.000And he wasn't able to protect anyone there.
00:12:10.000So, I mean, it's, you know, just that in and of itself is, it speaks volumes.
00:12:16.000And so I went down there and I grabbed that microphone with my Glock on my hip and I looked him in the eye and told him, hell no, you're not.
00:14:28.000Well, simply put, there are seven unique forms of magnesium.
00:14:31.000By leveraging all seven forms in each capsule, I'm able to experience magnesium's deep restorative sleep benefits.
00:14:39.000If you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try magnesium in your nightly regimen and be amazed by how much healthier your sleep patterns become.

00:15:15.000So you gave the speech and you drove back and the video goes viral.
00:16:52.000And our governor right now is praising the pups that are that are being.
00:16:58.000You talk to any rancher, anyone that's in touch with the earth, not some vegan milk person from Boulder, they'll actually tell you that this is a menace.
00:17:42.000But, you know, just getting involved, I ended up being the second largest signature gatherer for that petition.
00:17:47.000And I wasn't trying to do anything great other than get it on the ballot so we could repeal it, save our electoral college votes, save our votes for president that our governor had just stolen and the state legislature just stolen from us.
00:19:32.000I have a special just point of disdain for people that live in certain parts of Aspen.
00:19:39.000Aspen is what they want America to be, which is all the underlings and the people we don't respect.
00:19:44.000They rent and they barely get by while we go live on Red Mountain and we have a $95 million home and we're going to go tell you how racist you are and climate change and all that sort of stuff.
00:20:22.000Vestus is down there that is being built.
00:20:25.000But our coal plants are all being shut down in Nucle and Adorita and Craig.
00:20:29.000And, you know, China is building 200 coal-fired energy plants and we're buying solar panels from them and shutting down our coal-fired energy plants, our clean coal.
00:22:32.000And all of their earned media is attacking me.
00:22:34.000And so all of the newspapers, any story that they're in, you know, it's how to defeat Lauren Bober.
00:22:39.000And really, I think it's actually to their disadvantage because the more they attack me, the greater my people stand up to defend me because they know that I'm here for them.
00:22:50.000It's especially true at these local congressional races.
00:22:55.000Let's talk about one of my favorite sponsors, Thinker.
00:22:57.000In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.
00:23:05.000They summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:23:12.000Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes.
00:23:15.000From old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to brand new bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's Beyond Order.
00:23:22.000Even better, when they go out of their way to carry titles the left is trying to ban, like Ryan T. Anderson's When Harry Became Sally, a rational response to the transgender movement.
00:23:30.000Whatever your background or interests, you'll find compelling content on Thinker.
00:23:34.000I'm telling you right now, thinker.org, T-H-I-N-K-R.org is terrific.
00:23:38.000If you want to challenge your preconceptions and expand your horizons and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org/slash Charlie.
00:27:29.000We don't vote on Republican legislation.
00:27:31.000And then I serve in the Natural Resource Committee and I had fun in that one recently.
00:27:35.000There's a lot of important bills that pass that without going through that committee as well.
00:27:40.000Eight huge land packages that heavily affected my district and those passed the House with flying colors.
00:27:48.000But recently in one of our budget committee meeting, or excuse me, our natural resource committee hearing meetings, there was a man who came in.
00:27:56.000He said he drilled for natural gas in North Dakota.
00:28:19.000So he says that there's artificial hyperinflation that comes in when these drilling companies come into communities.
00:28:28.000Now, Charlie, there was nothing artificial about the businesses that succeeded when these companies came in, the schools that were built, the hospitals that were built, the fire departments, our roads.
00:28:39.000There was nothing artificial about the moms who were able to stay home and raise their children if they wanted to.
00:28:45.000So that's their new, but so let me give you, let me be clear.
00:30:37.000The company didn't provide him with one.
00:30:39.000He said, well, sir, you were provided with your PPE, your hard hat, your safety glasses, your gloves, your fire retardant clothing, the tools to get the job done.
00:30:47.000I sit in the Natural Resource Committee, and the policies that are being promoted here actually send that work and those jobs to our adversaries, to our enemies, to China, to Africa, to Russia, to Saudi Arabia.
00:31:01.000And I said, and you know, the policies that are being promoted here actually affect 40,000 children in the Congo who are mining for cobalt.
