00:00:55.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:58.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:00.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:03.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:07.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:08.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:09.000 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.
00:01:17.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:26.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:29.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:38.000 Paul from Pennsylvania says, Charlie, I did not vote for Dr. Oz in the primary, but he's looking better every single day.
00:01:45.000 Not because anything he's saying, but the more I learn about John Fetterman, is that the right way to vote?
00:01:50.000 Please help me out.
00:01:51.000 Thanks.
00:01:52.000 So look, that actually is a proper approach, especially when you are running up against a candidate as terrible and as dreadful as John Fetterman.
00:02:03.000 John Fetterman is one of the most fraudulent candidates in the country.
00:02:08.000 Now, before we go any further, we wish him a speedy recovery.
00:02:11.000 We're not going to make light of his health issues.
00:02:14.000 We are going to put that in context and frame it as why he should not be a U.S. Senator given his health complications.
00:02:21.000 But the more you learn about John Fetterman, his health issues aside, of which we will not trivialize or make fun of, the more you realize that this guy is as if a younger Jeff Bridges or John Goodman were to just kind of pop out of Hollywood,
00:02:44.000 parachute into rural Pennsylvania, become a mayor of a very small city, not even do your mayoral duties there, act as if you're some sort of working-class blue-collar guy, even though you went to Harvard and were supported by your parents financially into your mid-40s, and then have the tattoos and the hoodie and the shorts and have this entire aesthetic that you're a man of the Pennsylvania people.
00:03:14.000 Now, I'll be very honest, I fell for it.
00:03:19.000 I didn't fall for it as if I was like some sort of Fetterman fan.
00:03:23.000 But a couple months ago, when I saw Oz running against Fetterman, I went to Fetterman's website and I was doing a couple things at once.
00:03:28.000 I said, oh, wow, you know, he looks like a steel worker, can be a tough Democrat to fight.
00:03:31.000 Okay.
00:03:32.000 And obviously, you know, kind of time has passed and things have come out.
00:03:36.000 He's a total fraud.
00:03:38.000 He hasn't worked on a steel mill.
00:03:39.000 He's not a carpenter.
00:03:40.000 He's not a welder.
00:03:41.000 He's not a truck driver.
00:03:43.000 He looks like one.
00:03:44.000 It is an aesthetic hoodwink operation, where if we look like it and we wear the hoodie and we wear the shorts and you have the kind of tattoos and you shave your head with the long beard, you can kind of fool people as if you're one of them.
00:04:04.000 This is a big test happening in Pennsylvania.
00:04:08.000 Big test.
00:04:10.000 Can they run, again, health issues aside, that's a separate question, but a very important one.
00:04:15.000 But the deeper question that I find to be interesting is the question of Democrat central casting.
00:04:22.000 They are the party of Hollywood, by the way.
00:04:26.000 They run Raphael Warnock as the good old Southern Baptist preacher.
00:04:31.000 They run Mark Kelly as the astronaut.
00:04:34.000 But what they're trying to do in Pennsylvania is far more fraudulent.
00:04:39.000 I mean, Mark Kelly at least was an astronaut.
00:04:44.000 He's a terrible senator.
00:04:45.000 He's a liar and he's a cheater and he's all these different things.
00:04:49.000 But Fetterman is none of the things that he pretends to be.
00:04:52.000 The entire thing looks like it's completely and totally scripted.
00:04:56.000 He is nothing compared to what he physically tries to portray to the people of Pennsylvania.
00:05:05.000 This should make every single steel worker, muscular class member, infuriated.
00:05:14.000 He is appropriating your culture.
00:05:17.000 John Fetterman is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania wearing a costume.
00:05:24.000 And quite honestly, I got to give credit to Oz.
00:05:27.000 Oz dresses like a surgeon everywhere he goes.
00:05:30.000 He's not pretending to be somebody he's not.
00:05:33.000 Hey, look, there's John Fetterman in his costume.
00:05:37.000 He's a big man, looks like Shrek, has the hoodie, has the shorts.
00:05:42.000 I'm a tough guy.
00:05:44.000 Actually, you went to Harvard.
00:05:45.000 You lived off your parents most of the adult life.
00:05:48.000 You've never worked on a steel mill.
00:05:51.000 But the costume fits, doesn't it?
00:05:54.000 You know what that looks like?
00:05:56.000 That looks like a Jussie Smollett operation.
00:06:00.000 I said, what does that have to do with Jussie Smollett?
00:06:02.000 Remember Jussie Smollett, who came up with the one-liner where he said, and then they threw the noose over me and said, this is MAGA country.
00:06:09.000 John Fetterman looks like what a Hollywood liberal thinks Trump supporters want to vote for.
00:06:18.000 They think you're so dumb and you're so stupid that you're going to go out of your way to go vote for him, even though he has zero ties to the very culture and people that he is trying to pretend that he's part of.
00:06:33.000 Someone should ask the question, like, dude, what's with the hoodie exactly?
00:06:36.000 Is this a pure appropriation?
00:06:38.000 What are you, a teenager?
00:06:40.000 Again, he has zero ties and the whole thing.
00:06:44.000 And he just kind of, it's all a major aesthetic psyop.
00:06:50.000 It's can we manipulate voters based on an aesthetic?
00:06:55.000 The way I talk, the tattoos, I'm a different kind of Democrat.
00:06:59.000 No, you're not, actually.
00:07:01.000 You're AOC.
00:07:03.000 You're Rashida Talib.
00:07:05.000 And all of this aside, by the way, and I do not say this jokingly, but it's important.
00:07:10.000 He does not have the mental capacity to be a United States senator.
00:07:15.000 And my advice to Dr. Oz is: you're the doctor.
00:07:18.000 You should keep on saying it.
00:07:18.000 And then Fetterman says, could you imagine a doctor who attacks you for your health?
00:07:22.000 And the response from Oz is, I'd be a bad doctor if I didn't diagnose you for your health.
00:07:28.000 As a doctor, I wouldn't allow you on the streets.
00:07:30.000 I would take your driver's license away.
00:07:33.000 Again, you could say whatever you want about Oz.
00:07:35.000 I certainly have disagreements with him.
00:07:36.000 He's going to come on the show.
00:07:37.000 We're going to have a good conversation about it.
00:07:39.000 But I'm in support of Oz winning the U.S. Senate.
00:07:41.000 And I could tell you why.
00:07:42.000 This Fetterman guy, not only are his ideas insane, we'll play you some of it, but the appropriation, the smugness that I hate you, MAGA man in central Pennsylvania.
00:07:58.000 You're a deplorable, you're a semi-fascist, but we're worried we're going to lose power.
00:08:04.000 So I'm going to dress up in a Halloween costume equivalent to try to get your vote.
00:08:11.000 That's what John Fetterman is.
00:08:13.000 John Fetterman is no different, in any way whatsoever, different than Joaquin Phoenix dressing up as the Joker.
00:08:22.000 He becomes the very character that he portrays.
00:08:27.000 Let's play cut 61.
00:08:30.000 Send me to Washington, D.C. to send, so I can work with Senator Casey and I can champion the union way of life in Jersey, in D.C. Thank you.
00:08:42.000 Thank you very much.
00:08:43.000 And it's an honor.
00:08:44.000 I live eight minutes away from here.
00:08:47.000 And when I leave tonight, I got three miles away, Dr. Oz in his mansion in New Jersey.
00:08:54.000 Still makes more sense than Joe Biden.
00:08:56.000 But all kidding aside, I'm done with the kind of sad thing.
00:09:00.000 Some people say that's so sad.
00:09:01.000 You're right.
00:09:01.000 It's sad.
00:09:02.000 Don't let him go to the U.S. Senate.
00:09:04.000 I'm not trivializing it.
00:09:05.000 I don't wish health harm on any political opponent.
00:09:08.000 We have to commit ourselves to decency.
00:09:10.000 But I am not going to act as if that's normal and that's okay.
00:09:14.000 This is now a brute force power struggle for the future of the country.
00:09:17.000 And you know what?
00:09:18.000 We have a surgeon, Dr. Oz, endorsed by Trump.
00:09:22.000 I'll take him over this guy.
00:09:24.000 This guy would get rid of fracking, get rid of coal.
00:09:27.000 87,000 IRS agents, he'll do whatever the regime wants.
00:09:32.000 And I just get so fired up because I know the folks in Pennsylvania.
00:09:35.000 We just did a big rally there with Ron DeSantis and Maastriano, who's fabulous, by the way.
00:09:40.000 We did this whole thing.
00:09:42.000 And Fetterman wearing the costume of the MAGA voter.
00:09:47.000 That should make every single person in Pennsylvania who's a Trump supporter, who's worked in the mills, who works at their hands, show up in record numbers.
00:09:58.000 Because they're trying to say, if I play act as one of you, I can somehow get political power.
00:10:05.000 So everybody in Pennsylvania, I hope you're listening, get the message out.
00:10:10.000 Fetterman is a fraud.
00:10:13.000 He's a liar.
00:10:16.000 He's appropriating the entire aesthetic of a Pennsylvania middle-class worker, even though he hates you and hates your values.
00:10:27.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:10:29.000 Pradesh R. Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
00:10:32.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
00:10:34.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:10:39.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
00:10:44.000 They are on a mission.
00:10:45.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:47.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:10:53.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:10:54.000 So here's the deal.
00:10:55.000 If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

00:11:23.000 Let's play Cut 51.
00:11:24.000 Fetterman suggesting he wants to release thousands of inmates serving life sentences.
00:11:29.000 Play Cut 51.
00:11:30.000 We have a catastrophic bottleneck in our prisons of over 5,000 men and women condemned to die in prison.
00:11:39.000 And many of them, I believe, personally, are deserving of a second chance.
00:11:45.000 Fetterman here, number 60, Fetterman Board of Pardons appointee Celeste Trustee advocates for abolishing life sentences for first-degree murderers, play cut 60.
00:11:55.000 One of the most glaring problems in Pennsylvania's legal system is that we have mandatory life without parole as a sentence for first and second degree murder.
00:12:04.000 And we also have many people serving these excessively long virtual life sentences.
00:12:09.000 But we deny people serving these sentences any substantial avenues for relief.
00:12:14.000 That's Steve Fetterman.
00:12:16.000 See, that's how memorable is.
00:12:18.000 John Federman, Steve Fetterman, John Fetterman.
00:12:19.000 Whatever.
00:12:20.000 I was reading something else with Steve.
00:12:22.000 Sorry.
00:12:23.000 Email us your thoughts as always.
00:12:24.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:12:25.000 Forgettable Fetterman.
00:12:26.000 How about that?
00:12:27.000 There you go.
00:12:28.000 Okay, let's get to another question here, an ask-me-anything question.
00:12:33.000 Let's get to this one.
00:12:34.000 Charlie, please explain how any Democrat is leading in the polls after the absolute disaster the last year and a half has been.
00:12:39.000 Look at their accomplishments, record inflation, vaccine mandates, food shortages, baby formula, sending billions to Ukraine.
00:12:44.000 Republicans did that too.
00:12:46.000 Confiscation of a U.S. congressman's phone.
00:12:48.000 The DOJ targeting parents, 87,000 new IRS agents, the CRT, woken trans plans.
00:12:54.000 Boy, it's a pretty good list.
00:12:56.000 The border crisis, soaring energy costs, gasoline and diesel prices through the roof.
00:12:59.000 And I can go on.
00:12:59.000 I truly cannot wrap my head around anyone who could be leading in any race.
00:13:03.000 One example, would any person with half a brain vote for John Fetterman?
00:13:07.000 Okay, well, kind of we just hit that.
00:13:09.000 Basically, the question is, do you think Republicans are going to do well going into November?
00:13:13.000 So I think a couple things are happening here.
00:13:16.000 I am, how I'm getting increasingly optimistic that our candidates, especially Adam Laxalt in Nevada, Herschel Walker in Georgia, Blake Masters in Arizona, JD Vance in Ohio, Oz in Pennsylvania, are starting to get on message.
00:13:31.000 I'm starting to see a little bit better tone, a little bit better energy.
00:13:34.000 And I think that there could be a seed of the equivalent benefit, meaning something that actually comes really favorable out of something that otherwise would have seemed very negative, of some of that very depressing and very, let's just say, motivating series of polls that we saw about a month ago.
00:13:55.000 You might remember Tucker did that segment about a month ago when Dr. Oz went and got a vegetable tray or something as a silly attack against him.
00:14:03.000 And it showed that Oz was down 17 points and it showed that Blake Masters was down 10 points and it showed that Herschel Walker was down eight points.
00:14:12.000 And I think this really was actually helpful for a lot of Republican candidates.
00:14:17.000 I think these completely and totally inaccurate polls were a wake-up call.
00:14:22.000 These races have tightened.
00:14:23.000 JD Vance is now in the lead.
00:14:25.000 Pennsylvania Senate race, very, very tight.
00:14:27.000 Herschel Walker, now in the lead.
00:14:29.000 Blake Masters within the margin of error with Mark Kelly.
00:14:33.000 So these races are now becoming tighter and tighter and tighter.
00:14:38.000 So look, I agree with you.
00:14:39.000 I don't know how anyone's going to vote for a Democrat.
00:14:41.000 And I think this, I think that there has been a rush towards the resurrection of Democrat approval far too quickly.
00:14:52.000 I think that the media and all of the powers to be were trying to bring up Democrat numbers artificially.
00:15:00.000 And I think they are going to crater.
00:15:01.000 If we do our job, if grassroots show up, if our candidates stay on message and actually get a message about crime in certain states, if we continue to raise money, because we're going to have to have raise money against the Democrats, I think we're going to see a massive next 58 days.
00:15:20.000 I'm just predicting here, 57, 56, whatever how many days it is.
00:15:23.000 I think that there's something that all of a sudden you're going to see this thing get wildly out of control for Democrats, wildly out of control.
00:15:30.000 It has all of the preconditions.
00:15:31.000 And I don't think we've seen it manifest itself yet in public polling.
00:15:36.000 Now, I could be wrong.
00:15:38.000 It could end up being a red ripple instead of a red wave.
00:15:41.000 And I talked to him this week.
00:15:42.000 I talked to President Trump and I said this, and I'll say it publicly because what I said, I said, you're the only one that can really bring this midterms into be a red wave and a red tsunami.
00:15:52.000 I said, as many rallies as you can do, I said 50 or 60 rallies is a lot, but if you could do 30 or 40, you change the midterms.
00:15:59.000 Why is that the case?
00:16:00.000 Midterm election turnout is usually lower.
00:16:02.000 If Trump can get his general election turnout, anything close to it, we blow these people away.
00:16:06.000 We obliterate them.
00:16:08.000 We're already directionally in a good direction as far as gas prices, inflation, border crime, if our candidates can talk about it.
00:16:16.000 But Trump can save the midterms.
00:16:18.000 Trump can come in and bail out a lot of these campaigns.
00:16:22.000 He knows that too.
00:16:23.000 But the hour is getting late.
00:16:25.000 We need to see that Trump blitz planned pretty soon.
00:16:29.000 I'll be curious to see if he does.
00:16:30.000 He seemed inclined to do it on my phone call with him.
00:16:32.000 And I told him, I said, you are the only person that could turn these races around.
00:16:36.000 You're the only person that can get Herschel, Blake, JD, Oz, Laxalt, Johnson across the finish line.

00:17:42.000 Susie from Alabama, Charlie, is it true that Hillary Clinton is going to run for president?
00:17:48.000 I keep on reading that online.
00:17:50.000 Cut 53, Hillary Clinton asked a question: Would you ever run for president?
00:17:56.000 Play Cut 53.
00:17:57.000 Would you ever run for president again?
00:17:58.000 No, no, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president who respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions.
00:18:08.000 What if Donald Trump runs again?
00:18:09.000 He should be soundly defeated.
00:18:12.000 Protects our democracy.
00:18:14.000 Yeah.
00:18:15.000 Nothing says, nothing makes me think of consent to the governed like the Clintons.
00:18:22.000 So then Hillary Clinton was asked about Ukraine.
00:18:25.000 I want to spend some time on Ukraine.
00:18:27.000 I've been wanting to do this for the last couple of days.
00:18:30.000 Do you notice how the Ukraine issue has just kind of disappeared?
00:18:34.000 Yeah, the war is still going on.
00:18:35.000 Putin's invasion of Ukraine is ongoing.
00:18:37.000 Before I go any further, I want to reiterate the position of this program.
00:18:40.000 It is wrong.
00:18:41.000 It is immoral.
00:18:42.000 It is evil for a stronger country to invade a weaker country.
00:18:46.000 It is not right.
00:18:47.000 The Ukrainian government is also not worthy of support.
00:18:51.000 The people of Ukraine are worthy of support.
00:18:53.000 It is possible to have a murky situation.
00:18:56.000 I know that in a world of binaries and black and white, sometimes gray doesn't sell on television, but that's precisely what has been happening in Eastern Europe.
00:19:04.000 We've been saying this since the very beginning: that the situation in Ukraine will further involve the West, America, in an unnecessary family quagmire in a region of the world that is not of geopolitical significance to the United States, potentially getting all of NATO against a nuclear power.
00:19:25.000 We've already spent $65 to $70 billion.
00:19:29.000 It could go upwards of $85 billion.
00:19:32.000 And every time I talk to a Republican politician about this issue, I get unease because I have a series of very specific questions when it comes to the Ukraine situation.
00:19:43.000 And I know some of you have not thought deeply about this in some time because this just hasn't been on the news, but we have spent more than the GDP of North Dakota on the conflict in Ukraine.
00:19:54.000 And I have a series of questions for anybody that supports involvement in Ukraine can come on this program and answer these questions.
00:20:02.000 What does success look like in Ukraine?
00:20:07.000 What does success look like?
00:20:09.000 What is the latitude and longitude?
00:20:12.000 What are the coordinates approximately of where you will be satisfied to disentangle the West when Russia gets to a certain place?
00:20:20.000 Is it the full defeat of Russia?
00:20:22.000 Is it the displacement of Putin?
00:20:24.000 If that is the case, how many Americans are you willing to have die for that cause?
00:20:31.000 None?
00:20:32.000 Then it's never going to happen.
00:20:34.000 How do you know that American involvement in Ukraine will actually make American security more durable, reliable?
00:20:42.000 Why is that in the American security best interest?
00:20:44.000 What is in our national interest?
00:20:47.000 Here's another question for a Ukraine war supporter.
00:20:50.000 Why has Russia only grown stronger?
00:20:53.000 The Russian currency is up.
00:20:55.000 Europe will be chopping wood this winter to stay warm.
00:20:59.000 Is this what success looks like?
00:21:00.000 The Rupal is up.
00:21:02.000 Putin is doing war games with China.
00:21:05.000 So we have thrown Russia, who is no saint.
00:21:09.000 Putin's a scumbag.
00:21:11.000 You can believe two things at once.
00:21:13.000 I know that is very difficult for the regime media and establishment Republicans to understand, but you can believe that Vladimir Putin is no good, dirty, and rotten, and also that we shouldn't get involved.
00:21:27.000 So we push Russia, India, and Saudi Arabia into closer ties with China for what?
00:21:34.000 What is the geopolitical advantage?
00:21:37.000 We may lose our world reserve currency status for what?
00:21:44.000 This blunder in Ukraine will go down as one of the most clumsy, murky, and dare I just say it bluntly and plainly, a word that is not necessarily befitting of the program, stupid decisions.
00:22:03.000 And I cannot get straight answers from any of the decision makers because deep down they know they're wrong.
00:22:11.000 The senators that are voting for this garbage, the congressmen that are voting for this garbage, it's all about abstractions.
00:22:19.000 Oh, we have to stop Putin.
00:22:21.000 How?
00:22:22.000 Who?
00:22:23.000 How many people are you willing to have died for that?
00:22:26.000 Where are the peace negotiations?
00:22:28.000 Do you want to escalate or de-escalate?
00:22:31.000 How is that in the interest of a country that has a suicide epidemic, a psychiatric drug addiction epidemic, a fentanyl epidemic, a wide open border of which we have an invasion of, according to the Attorney General of Texas, 5,000 people a day?
00:22:48.000 How is that in our best interest exactly?
00:22:50.000 I welcome any contrarian point of view when it comes to Ukraine.
00:22:56.000 But it's indefensible.
00:22:58.000 And it has been since the very beginning.
00:23:00.000 Zelensky is not a good person.
00:23:03.000 Putin is not a good person.
00:23:06.000 Ukraine is not America.
00:23:09.000 Hillary Clinton, though, says Ukraine is now on offense.
00:23:12.000 Hillary Clinton, who voted for the Iraq war and her shining accomplishment of Libya is on the shelf of Hillary Clinton masterpieces.
00:23:26.000 Hillary Clinton's a neocon.
00:23:28.000 This is an important thing.
00:23:30.000 Hillary Clinton and the Republican establishment will disagree, at least through words, on guns, on abortion.
00:23:40.000 But isn't it interesting, Hillary Clinton agrees completely and totally with the Republican establishment on war?
00:23:49.000 Play Cut 59.
00:23:51.000 They were attacked by an unprovoked act of war.
00:23:57.000 And they've held out and they've done better than anybody could have predicted.
00:24:01.000 And Zelensky has been a true wartime leader.
00:24:04.000 I'm so impressed with him.
00:24:05.000 Absolutely.
00:24:06.000 And I think, you know, the United States should stand with them along with all of our other friends around the world.
00:24:12.000 I think we have to keep supporting them, helping them.
00:24:15.000 Keep supporting them, helping them.
00:24:17.000 Yeah, don't support American citizens.
00:24:19.000 You got to keep supporting Ukraine.
00:24:22.000 Why?
00:24:23.000 Well, Ukraine stands as allegedly an international money laundering operation for a lot of crony and corrupt interests in Washington, D.C.
00:24:32.000 I could read an article right here: Vladimir Putin doing military exercises, war games with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:24:40.000 We did that.
00:24:41.000 The Republican Party did that.
00:24:44.000 It is so disturbing how Republicans were gleefully on board to support this corrupt, aimless, directionless endeavor in Eastern Europe.
00:25:02.000 Europe is going to go through a mass energy crisis because of this.
00:25:05.000 It's a tragedy.
00:25:07.000 Okay, let's get to another question here.
00:25:08.000 Emails freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:25:12.000 That topic more than almost anyone right now frustrates me because we were so on top of it.
00:25:17.000 We got censored.
00:25:18.000 We got smeared.
00:25:18.000 We got called a Russian agent.
00:25:21.000 Even though we said Vladimir Putin is a scumbag, war criminal, and all this.
00:25:24.000 Like, oh, how dare you parrot Vladimir Putin's talking points?
00:25:28.000 What?
00:25:29.000 That's how low IQ people talk.
00:25:31.000 You're a Putin puppet.
00:25:33.000 Okay.
00:25:35.000 Let's go to Cut 117.
00:25:36.000 It parlays nicely with Terrell's question from Oklahoma about the midterms, play cut 117.
00:25:44.000 Democrats offer a vision for a better America.
00:25:46.000 It's within the reach, our reach, what's in our hands if we just get out and vote.
00:25:52.000 And again, that's not hyperbole, because we're not finished.
00:25:56.000 Imagine if we just elected two more Democrats in the Senate and keep the House of Representatives.
00:26:01.000 Imagine.
00:26:03.000 We'll codify Roe v. Wade.
00:26:06.000 We'll ban assault weapons.
00:26:07.000 We'll pass election reform.
00:26:09.000 We'll make sure no one ever tries to steal an election again in America.
00:26:14.000 They're just getting warmed up.
00:26:16.000 If we don't take back the House of Representatives and if we do not take back the Senate, they're not finished.
00:26:22.000 Everything that you saw, inflation reduction nonsense, the IRA Infrastructure Act, 87,000 new IRS agents, green energy scam, $5 trillion, $6 trillion.
00:26:36.000 That is the pregame.
00:26:38.000 Perp walking Trump supporters, audits for middle-income and middle-class workers.
00:26:44.000 Someone asked us right here, Clarence from Florida, Charlie, I believe we're in a spiritual war.
00:26:50.000 Every time I say this, my friends roll their eyes.
00:26:53.000 What are your thoughts?
00:26:54.000 Love the show, and I'm subscribed to the podcast.
00:26:57.000 Thank you for subscribing.
00:26:59.000 Oh, yeah, we're in a spiritual war.
00:27:02.000 So there's a new character I want to introduce you to around the topic of monkeypox.
00:27:10.000 So Biden's new monkeypox spokesperson appointed Dr. Dimitri Daskalakis as the White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator, also the CDC's Division Director for HIV Prevention.
00:27:29.000 Well, he has a very strange penchant for some imagery and symbolism that is spiritual in nature.
00:27:39.000 And no, it's not the crucifix.
00:27:41.000 It's not the Virgin Mary.
00:27:43.000 It's not St. Michael.
00:27:45.000 It's not Angel Gabriel.
00:27:47.000 No, he seems to be very focused on posting pictures, even though he was raised by Greek Orthodox immigrants.
00:27:58.000 He has a penchant for pentagrams and other satanic symbolism.
00:28:04.000 The National Pulse reports, great website, Dascalakis' social media presence is very disturbing.
00:28:12.000 His partner, Michael McNeil, launched a goth gym in New York.
00:28:17.000 Posting pictures of monster cycle social media is replete with satanic imagery.
00:28:24.000 Monster Cycle social media are full of references to Satanism, including his tattoos.
00:28:31.000 He said, I have learned there's light even in the darkest places.
00:28:34.000 Dascalakis' tattoo of a pentagram reads, he also has ink showing the corpse of a dead creature, as well as a serpent, a head with three eyes that appears to be a saint-like figure, even a depiction of Jesus Christ across his stomach.
00:28:50.000 It's not the only reference to Christ making their social media posts in a series of images from 2012.
00:28:56.000 Seems as if he posts a Ouija board ceremony with a lit crucifix depicting Jesus Christ laying on a pentagram table.
00:29:05.000 The satanic imagery continues on his social media posts.
00:29:11.000 It's not a spiritual war.
00:29:12.000 Of course not.
00:29:13.000 Stop looking there.
00:29:14.000 Monkeypox, no big deal.
00:29:15.000 And just to finish the point on this monkeypox person, the star that he has points down, and the significance of it is this.
00:29:25.000 While a point-down pentagram represented the descent of the spirit into the matter or matter subsuming spirit, it is largely this interpretation that led to the religion of Wicca to adopt the point-up pentagram and Satanism, the point-down version, as their representative symbols.
00:29:41.000 His are pointing down.
00:29:43.000 The Satanism ones point down.
00:29:45.000 Okay.
00:29:46.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:29:48.000 I'm taking your questions.
00:29:49.000 Charlie, I heard reports that in Provo, Utah, there are LGBT performances.
00:29:54.000 Is this true?
00:29:55.000 Yes.
00:29:55.000 Cut 19, a drag person by the name of Jenna Tayalia, performed at an all-ages back-to-school drag extravaganza, the state run by Governor Cox, play cut 19.
00:30:26.000 That is a dancing performance of some drag person performing for all ages.
00:30:32.000 And that's what you get when you have a Republican governor with pronouns in his bio that should be illegal.
00:30:38.000 Some of my great friends and some great people that work for us and work with us are LDS.
00:30:45.000 I have great respect for the LDS community.
00:30:48.000 But I'm waiting for someone to explain what the heck is going on in Utah where the LDS community puts up with this garbage.
00:30:55.000 I suppose it's the same thing that's happening in evangelical circles.
00:30:58.000 So not exactly one to ask the question.
00:31:00.000 I probably can answer the question myself, which is just weak people that don't want confrontation.
00:31:05.000 Here's a question.
00:31:07.000 Stephen from Michigan.
00:31:08.000 Charlie, I heard you talking about Lurie Children's Hospital.
00:31:11.000 Is it true that they're really doing gender and sex surgeries?
00:31:14.000 Yes.
00:31:15.000 Cut 97, the major children's hospital in Chicago, advertising gender and sex development programs.
00:31:22.000 Here's just part of it of the family testimonials, PlayCut 97.
00:31:26.000 Without the gender program, I would not be nearly as happy as I am now.
00:31:31.000 Gender program has meant the world to me because it basically gave me the chance to start my life.
00:31:37.000 I'm a senior in high school, and I'm, quite frankly, the happiest I've ever been.
00:31:41.000 I'm so far in my transition and things are going so well, and I feel like I can really move on with my life and become an adult.
00:31:50.000 And their parents sitting next to them gleefully.
00:31:53.000 Children medically mutilating themselves.
00:31:56.000 Yeah, they're going to have a spike of confidence, a spike of testosterone.
00:32:00.000 And tragically, the data shows a couple years later, it's going to go down.
00:32:04.000 I want to promote Tucker Carlson's documentary, PlayCut 98.
00:32:10.000 So historically, gender dysphoria afflicted 0.01% of the population.
00:32:15.000 So roughly 1 in 10,000.
00:32:17.000 And they were overwhelmingly male.
00:32:19.000 The numbers were even smaller when it came to females.
00:32:22.000 I think it was 1 in 30,000.
00:32:24.000 Today, the newest report is that 1 in 20 young women in college are identifying as trans.
00:32:31.000 That is an enormous spike.
00:32:33.000 In the UK, where they have centralized medical care and they can see the numbers more easily, there have been reports of a 4,000% spike in the referrals of young biological women to the National Gender Service for hormones, followed by surgical intervention.
00:32:51.000 Good for Tucker for doing this.
00:32:54.000 Good for him.
00:32:55.000 He's going to get a lot of backlash.
00:32:56.000 I think he already is for that.
00:32:58.000 Email us your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:33:02.000 Charlie, I want to come to your great reset event.
00:33:03.000 When is it?
00:33:04.000 How do I watch online if I can't attend in person?
00:33:07.000 So it's in Phoenix, Arizona, September 16th and 17th on Constitution Day weekend.
00:33:11.000 We're going to be talking about all about the Great Reset, book written by Klaus Schwab and the entire agenda of the Great Reset.
00:33:19.000 And you guys can get tickets at tpusa.com slash reset.
00:33:24.000 And the wonderful folks at Real America's Voice are going to be streaming it.
00:33:30.000 Steve Bannon will be there.
00:33:32.000 So if you want to show up in a show of support for Steve Bannon, it's tpusa.com slash reset.
00:33:40.000 Someone just emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:33:42.000 Charlie, does beheading mean I get no bail in Illinois?
00:33:46.000 There's a story here of woman beheaded with sword in front of onlookers in California.
00:33:52.000 We invade and create a vacuum for ISIS, and then we bring ISIS practices here.
00:33:58.000 Beheading?
00:33:59.000 Sounds like a cartel murder.
00:34:02.000 Jesus, terrible.
00:34:03.000 Someone was beheaded with a samurai sword.
00:34:07.000 That is not the country I grew up in.
00:34:11.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:34:13.000 Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
