00:00:56.000The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:58.000Yeah, obviously we've been trying to get back to regular order here and vote through the appropriations bills, which we're supposed to every year.
00:02:07.000As you guys know, it usually doesn't happen.
00:02:10.000We usually fund the government through an omnibus or a CR.
00:02:14.000So I am glad to see that the House is actually moving in regular order.
00:02:19.000What I'm not glad to see is the House basically buying Democrat votes and allowing a lot of these Democrat amendments in.
00:02:28.000And it's never good to see Republicans voting for stuff like this.
00:02:33.000I think it is exposing the American people get to see where individual members of Congress stand on certain issues.
00:02:40.000And I can't even imagine why any Republican member of the House would vote to allow kill switches in vehicles so that the government or some agency can shut off your car if they don't like what you're doing.
00:02:54.000You said buying votes, buying Democrat votes.
00:02:57.000Explain that for us and our audience a little bit.
00:03:01.000Yeah, so basically, the leadership knows that if they put stuff in these appropriations bills, regardless of which one it is, that isn't righteous, it's not good, Republican, conservative, America first policy, then there's, you know, 10, 15, 20 of us that are going to take the bill down until they make those changes.
00:03:24.000So what they do is, is that they go over to the Democrats and say, how much, you know, what's it going to cost for your vote on this non-Republican bill?
00:03:34.000And then that's how the trades and the deals are made.
00:03:38.000Well, I think I speak for the entirety of this audience to say that this is offensive to us that we would be giving over our own freedoms, our own control, our own agencies just to buy a few votes from Democrats.
00:03:51.000Congressman, there's so much more to get to with you.
00:03:53.000So I want to keep make, I want to make sure we're moving quickly here.
00:03:56.000There was also another vote that you were raising a lot of hay about regarding the National Endowment for Democracy, otherwise known as NED.
00:04:32.000And I want to thank investigative independent journalists like Mike Benz, who have been raising this issue for a long time and educating people to what NED has become.
00:04:43.000And it's become a global censorship arm.
00:04:48.000It's used in color revolutions all over the world.
00:04:53.000It's been used to censure, you know, censor American people organizations, conservative organizations.
00:04:59.000And, you know, it's basically been weaponized against the American people.
00:05:03.000And so that's something that if you don't set a precedent, if we don't set a precedent up here and say, if you guys continue to behave this way, we're going to defund you or quit giving you money.
00:05:13.000What do you guys think is going to happen?
00:05:15.000Now, obviously, we're not as worried that this administration is going to do that to the American people.
00:05:21.000But what happens when the balance of power shifts?
00:05:23.000A Democrat comes back into the White House, Democrats take over the House, the Senate, you're going to see the same types of things because once again, Republicans have proven that they have no backbone, just vote with leadership and don't really dive into these bills and what they actually do.
00:05:47.000It's getting a little over $300 million.
00:05:50.000And I think we had 81 Republicans vote for this bill.
00:05:53.000And I will say that I think some of the members probably didn't do research on it, but there were plenty of them that were on the floor of the House when we were debating this bill.
00:06:03.000I had myself, Ana Paulina Luna, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, who's running for governor in Arizona, all advocating with me that we should be defunding this organization.
00:06:17.000They didn't care because they, quite frankly, don't care what's best for the American people.
00:06:23.000And so, you know, I think the best thing about our efforts here, even though we failed to defund Ned, was we got to expose a lot of these Republicans.
00:06:31.000And this is where now it's in the American people's hands.
00:06:34.000The people that are listening to this show right now, go find that list.
00:06:37.000If your member was on the list, have a conversation with them.
00:06:41.000You know, talk to somebody who's running against them in office.
00:06:45.000You know, give them a donation because if we don't get these people out of here, we're going to continue to see the same, you know, uniparty, swampy system continue to move forward regardless of what the American people think.
00:06:58.000Yeah, the vote was 81 Republicans voted with Democrats to fund Ned to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars that will be used for God knows what if Democrats ever get power again.
00:07:10.000Congressman, I want to shift our attention over here.
00:07:13.000And I just want to say again, you're doing an amazing job.
00:07:15.000If the people of Arizona are not hearing this loud and clear, we have your back.
00:07:19.000I mean, the fact that you're on the right side of all these issues, Congressman, speaks volumes about your character and how hard you're fighting for the state of Arizona.
00:07:53.000If there are confrontations between residents and ICE agents like we've seen in other cities, Mays is concerned they could turn deadly because of Arizona's so-called stand-your-ground law.
00:08:04.000That makes Arizona very, very different from almost every other state where this buildup is happening, Bram, is that we're a stand-your-ground state.
00:08:16.000But to be clear, you're not telling folks you have license that you are threatened to shoot a peace officer.
00:08:23.000No, but again, if you're being attacked by someone who is not identified as a peace officer, how do you know?
00:08:32.000That's one reason Mays is demanding that ICE agents remove their masks.
00:08:37.000If somebody comes at me wearing a mask and I can't tell whether they're a police officer, what am I supposed to do?
00:08:45.000That is why this is so incredibly incendiary.
00:09:45.000But this is what Democrats are doing all over the country.
00:09:48.000They start these massive problems, all of them voting and supporting these wide open southern borders, which we all know let in 15 to 20 million illegal aliens.
00:10:00.000The American people gave the president a mandate in re-electing him into office to go and arrest criminals.
00:10:11.000Candles were lit on Bondi Beach by families, by children, by people of faith to celebrate a festival of light, a festival from Bible times, one that Jesus himself celebrated.
00:10:22.000People gathered with hope, seeking unity and comfort in tradition.
00:10:25.000But instead of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing itself at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing.
00:10:33.000Times like this remind us that even with the ceasefire in Israel, Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith.
00:10:40.000And times like this remind us why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists, to stand in the gap, providing safety and security to God's people.
00:10:49.000The fellowship brings together Christians and Jews to be a light to suffering Jews in Israel, the former Soviet Union, or wherever the needs are greatest.
00:10:57.000Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need hope the most.
00:11:01.000Your gift today will help provide the security that God's people so desperately need.
00:11:21.000Blake, the floor is yours with Representative Eli Crane.
00:11:23.000Yeah, Representative, we're really, we want to keep flogging this A.G. Mays thing.
00:11:29.000We've discussed on this show quite a bit that there seems to be this will on the Democrats to engineer situations that will lead to violence, that will lead to crises, so that they can use it to continue indicting ICE.
00:11:43.000It's really hard for me to not see what the Attorney General said as she kind of, she wants someone to shoot at ICE so then they can posture and say, look what they did.
00:11:54.000Look what they did by trying to enforce immigration laws.
00:11:56.000The only thing we can do to fix this is to stop enforcing them.
00:11:59.000Do you have the same read on things, Representative?
00:12:09.000And when you see what these guys want to do to the United States and turn it into this, you know, top-down governmental control, socialistic, communistic, you know, country, you know, they've got to do it in a certain way.
00:12:24.000And I think that's why you always see them trying to tear down our institutions, undermine the integrity of our laws, law enforcement that's got to go in and clean up the messes of the Democrat Party.
00:12:36.000And this is just one more instance of that.
00:12:40.000I think it's very dangerous, but I'm not surprised to see it.
00:12:44.000And, you know, I just, you know, my prayers go out to these law enforcement officers who are just doing their jobs, trying to remove, you know, criminals from our streets, have a very dangerous job.
00:12:57.000And then you got the Attorney General of Arizona basically, you know, wink-wink, trying to give, you know, some signal to, you know, citizens in Arizona or illegals in Arizona that, hey, you don't really have to comply if you feel threatened.
00:13:16.000And I wouldn't be surprised to see it lead to, you know, another issue in Arizona like we saw in Minnesota and then riots and chaos break out in our streets.
00:13:27.000And we'd be remiss not to mention this is a woman.
00:13:29.000She's governing like a Leninist or something.
00:13:33.000And this is a woman who won by a margin of 0.01%, not even 300 votes.
00:13:38.000That was the difference in her race with Abe Hamade, not even getting into any potential misconduct, but that's how close it was.
00:13:46.000And we might literally see ICE agents who die because of that outcome, who die because we have an AG in this state who goes around saying, oh, you know, yeah, if you shoot at ICE agents, it might be perfectly reasonable.
00:13:58.000Well, it begs the question, Congressman.
00:14:00.000You see this in Virginia right now, something we've talked about on the show a lot.
00:14:15.000They are ruthlessly efficient, exacting their agenda.
00:14:19.000Why aren't Republicans in league with Democrats on a kill switch, on NED, on so many other things?
00:14:25.000Why do we not have the same ruthlessness when it comes to governing that our Democrat colleagues do?
00:14:32.000I think the most basic way to put it is because representing the American people and what they want is not the biggest priority for a lot of politicians in Washington, D.C. Holding on to power, winning re-election, climbing the ladder, getting into leadership, and skyrocketing your political career by working with the Uniparty.
00:14:56.000That is the goal for many of these individuals up here.
00:14:59.000And so they could quite frankly care less what the American people think.
00:15:04.000And you guys know how much money is involved in politics.
00:15:07.000There's a couple of ways you can skin that cat.
00:15:10.000You can work with all the lobbyists, donors, special interest group to fund your campaigns so that you can achieve that goal, or you can do what I've done and what many of my colleagues in the House Freedom Caucus have done and fight for the American people and the agenda that they supported under the president.
00:15:29.000And then hope that people that aren't special interest lobbying groups, et cetera, step up and support you so that you can stay up here and do it.
00:15:38.000But I will tell you guys, I've never really cared if I lose re-election.
00:15:48.000You know, I'd love to spend more time at home with my, you know, my two daughters and my wife.
00:15:53.000But for me, this is just continued service.
00:15:56.000And it's, I, I, I just feel too is like a lot of these moderates don't understand what time it is.
00:16:01.000They don't understand how close we are to losing this country.
00:16:04.000And so all they do is manage the decline of the country and they don't ever play offense.
00:16:09.000And that's something that I refuse to join them in.
00:16:13.000And I, that's one of the reasons I love Turning Point so much.
00:16:16.000You guys went into the lion's den in academia when many of us thought it was gone decades ago.
00:16:23.000And that's why I love the fact that you guys are sitting on this panel right now carrying on the legacy of Charlie Kirk and everything, you know, that he started.
00:16:55.000They use radios to coordinate blocking our entrance and exits.
00:16:59.000Last week, they spray painted our gate and our side door.
00:17:02.000He has a video that we can't view just this moment yet, but he says that we're in a not terribly secured location where we have images and we have images, just some of what they're saying.
00:17:13.000They said it says one of them says, you slaughter babies, and the other says, ICE kills.
00:17:19.000This is the environment we're working in where we have an AG agitating people to say, oh, in some situations, it's legal for you to blow an ICE officer's brains out.
00:17:28.000That is what the AG of this state is saying.
00:17:30.000She wants a Kent State scenario playing out.
00:17:32.000She wants to be able to say, look at what they did and to use that as leverage to fight them legally, morally, politically.
00:19:29.000It's a really, really big deal and a big initiative, and we're hiring for it.
00:19:34.000And so we want to tell you guys all about that.
00:19:36.000And when you have a conversation like we just had with Eli Crane, you realize how important it is that we are electing the right Republicans.
00:19:45.000You've got to elect the right Republicans.
00:19:47.000We do a whole endorsement thing at turning point action.
00:19:49.000We need fighters that will make our elected leaders, just as Charlie always said, we want elected leaders, Blake, or remember this, that are as conservative as their voters, that are as dedicated to this country as our voters.
00:20:03.000In the meantime, we've got JD Vance is at the March for Life.
00:20:07.000Let's go ahead and just tune in there for one second while we're waiting for Tyler and get a flavor for what JD said.
00:20:14.000Let me just say, my friends, that we have to be clear.
00:20:27.000What ultimately gives meaning and life to the United States of America, this is not a new question.
00:20:35.000Every civilization has been forced to answer it.
00:20:39.000You march today, we march today, because you have an answer to this question about what kind of civilization we are and about what kind of civilization we're going to become in the future.
00:20:55.000It was about classic archaeology, of all things.
00:20:58.000And one particular piece of information has haunted me.
00:21:03.000That one of the telltale signs of an ancient brothel in the pagan world was that you'd always find a large number of baby skeletons nearby.
00:21:16.000And those bones predominantly belong to boys.
00:21:21.000Because unlike little girls, those boys would be of no use to the future adults who were running those brothels.
00:21:30.000Now, this is shocking to us because we grew up in a Christian culture and were formed by religious values.
00:21:37.000Even those of us who aren't particularly faithful, it's a shocking thing to hear.
00:21:42.000But we have to remember that in the ancient pagan world, discarding children was routine.
00:21:50.000From the skeletons in brothels to the child sacrifice of the Mayans, the mark of barbarism is that we treat babies like inconveniences to be discarded rather than the blessings to cherish that they are.
00:22:08.000But the inheritance of our civilization is something else.
00:22:13.000The fact that a scripture tells us each life is fearfully and wonderfully made by our creator.
00:22:26.000The march for life, my friends, it's not just about a political issue as important as all this politics stuff is.
00:22:33.000It is about whether we will remain a civilization under God or whether we ultimately return to the paganism that dominated the past.
00:22:43.000Today, the far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles, that it's irresponsible, even immoral, because of climate change or some other reason to encourage our young people to raise a family.
00:22:57.000They tell us that life itself is a burden.
00:23:01.000But we here at this march, we know that it's a lie.
00:23:13.000We know that babies are precious because we know them and we love them and we see the way that they can transform our families.
00:23:24.000We know that family is not just the source of a great joy, but it's part of God's design for men and women, a design that extends outward from the family to our neighborhoods, to our communities, and to the United States of America itself.
00:23:45.000And we know, we here know, that treating everyone with dignity isn't always easy.
00:23:51.000It's not always convenient, but it's the right thing to do.
00:23:59.000We know that the people telling our young men and women that discarding family and children is a form of liberation, we know that those people are telling a lie.
00:24:10.000And so to our fellow Americans, we march in part to serve as a witness.
00:24:16.000To our fellow Americans, we say, you're never going to find great meaning in a cubicle or in front of a computer screen, but you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to the creation and sustenance of human life.
00:24:35.000Now, I must address an elephant in the room, and I've heard the guy over here talking about it.
00:24:43.000A fear, a fear that some of you have that not enough progress has been made, that not enough has happened in the political arena, that we're not going fast enough, that our politics have failed to answer the clarion call to life that this march represents and that all of us, I believe, hold in our hearts.
00:25:03.000And I want you to know that I hear you and that I understand.
00:25:07.000There will inevitably be debates within this movement.
00:25:10.000We love each other, but we're going to have open conversations about how best to use our political system to advance life, how prudential we must be in the cause of advancing human life.
00:25:22.000I think these are good, honest, and natural debates.
00:25:26.000And frankly, they're not just good for all of you, they help keep people like me honest, and that's an important thing.
00:25:37.000But I think all of us also have to remember that we are commanded to let not our hearts be troubled.
00:25:44.000Because I look at this crowd and I see young people for whom Dobbs is the only world they've ever known.
00:25:55.000And I see people with just a little bit more gray in their hair who for 50 years toiled to live in a country where questions of life would be answered by we the people rather than tyrants and rogues.
00:26:13.000They've heard of the movement betrayed of taking one step forward and then two steps back and then three steps forward after that.
00:26:21.000They know stories of heartbreak and of triumph.
00:26:24.000Some of them I've known very personally from ballot issues that I fought very hard for, some of which have gone the right way and some of which have gone the wrong way.
00:26:33.000And I remember friends of mine who spent their entire lives fighting for the unborn without ever seeing the victories that have accumulated in recent years.
00:26:43.000My friends, I'd ask you to look where the fight for life stood just one decade ago.
00:27:45.000But obviously, many of you know that JD Vance and Usha Vance are expecting their fourth child.
00:27:51.000And JD Vance wants the record to show that he practices what he preaches, 479.
00:27:56.000Now, some of you may remember that in my remarks last year, I told you all that one of the things I most wanted in the United States of America was more families and more babies.
00:28:11.000So let the record show you have a vice president who practices what he preaches.
00:29:13.000And remember, YReFi doesn't care what your credit score is.
00:29:16.000Just go to YReFi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
00:29:23.000We are joined by Tyler Boyer, COO of Turning Point Action, and really the architect of a lot of our ballot chasing initiatives, our ballot.
00:29:32.000We don't really do that in our states we're working in, right?
00:29:34.000But really the field game, the machine, building out the machine at Turning Point Action.
00:29:40.000Wanted to have him on today to describe that.
00:29:42.000We're coming up against a minute break.
00:29:44.000So in the interim, I just want to say that Tyler and I have been practicing what the vice president is preaching, but Blake here is still lagging behind.
00:29:55.000Blake needs to get hitched and start procreating, making babies.
00:30:31.000Charlie Kirk came out and endorsed Andy Biggs for governor in Arizona.
00:30:35.000He will be the most conservative, greatest governor ever in Arizona.
00:30:40.000Arizona has been a subject of, obviously, ours.
00:30:43.000If you've listened to the show, watch the show for ballot chasing.
00:30:46.000Because the proof is in Arizona, what we did in 2024 was we swung this state the furthest to the right of any of the swing states.
00:30:54.000Repeat, this was the most successful swing state because of multiple factors, but the prime factor was because of the work that Turning Point Action did.
00:31:10.000And we won the state by almost six points.
00:31:12.000We have a great team, and we had the greatest outcome with, and that's because low propensity voters were targeted with a full, completely filled-out field staff.
00:31:23.000And we have an incredible team across Arizona.
00:31:25.000We kept those people in place, and we hired up, scaled up again for this election cycle.
00:31:31.000So, repeat, we had the most, so it was like Arizona was the, we threw the kitchen sink at it.
00:31:36.000We were in other states, but Arizona, we threw the kitchen sink at it.
00:32:00.000The best way through the blue wall because we know that's the strategy the left's going to take.
00:32:05.000The left has basically two strategies.
00:32:06.000One is try to fracture the South in Georgia and North Carolina.
00:32:11.000We see that happening right now, what they're doing in the Senate race in North Carolina and the Senate race in Georgia.
00:32:17.000And then, you know, obviously they just need to win at least one, if not multiples of the blue wall, which is Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:32:24.000The best way to make it so that they can't win by just winning the blue wall on a national scale in 2028 is by winning Nevada and New Hampshire and New Hampshire and Arizona with Arizona and continuing with Arizona.
00:32:40.000So this week we are happy and pleased to announce we've launched full hiring, opening up offices in both New Hampshire and Nevada.
00:32:47.000We're putting our money where our mouth is.
00:34:26.000Properly, you need a certain amount of people, a certain amount of money, a certain amount of infrastructure, a certain amount of time.
00:34:32.000Yeah, we would love to get to a place where we are scaled to every state.
00:34:37.000But we have full-time staff in 10 of the most important key target states.
00:34:41.000We're the only national organization on the right that has full-time staff in all 10 states.
00:34:46.000And then in addition to that, you brought up swing states, swing districts within swing states.
00:34:51.000So there are congressional districts that are at play that are really important that are in some states that it's difficult to fund people for.
00:35:00.000A good example of that is we had a swingy situation in Alaska.
00:35:07.000You have a really important one in Maine.
00:35:10.000You have a handful of important congressional races in New York and California.
00:35:17.000We organize around the turning, you brought up the Turning Point Action application, so anyone can download the Turning Point Action application and get to work to help out in those states.
00:35:27.000And we also have a huge volunteer army that we're wanting to support and continue to grow.
00:35:33.000But we're also leading by example to Blake's points because we can't be everywhere is show people how to do the work that we're doing in these specific key target states so then they can help build their own operations in their own states.
00:35:45.000And so we're working together with national organizations across the country to help fortify these individual places.
00:35:53.000We're focused predominantly this early ahead of the election, putting as many bodies on the ground so we can win and set up for success, not just in 2026, but also 2028.
