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 From Jerry from New Jersey.
00:01:40.000 Charlie, I'm all on board with you on how disgusting these surgeries are towards young children, but my liberal friends think it's just fine.
00:01:48.000 How do I go about convincing them?
00:01:51.000 Love the show, and I've subscribed to the podcast.
00:01:53.000 Thank you very much.
00:01:54.000 We appreciate that.
00:01:55.000 So look, I've been very outspoken about this, and I talked about this with a lot of students at University of Texas, Austin, mostly and mainly in my campus interactions with people when I kind of set up the table at University of Texas, Austin and have a dialogue back and forth.
00:02:11.000 And there was one person, I don't know what gender this person was, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way.
00:02:16.000 I'm actually meaning it more respectfully.
00:02:17.000 I literally couldn't tell.
00:02:19.000 I think it was a man who came up and was defending, let's just say, very aggressive medical interventions for children.
00:02:27.000 And the video will speak for itself.
00:02:29.000 But one of the things that I got out of this person, him, her, whatever, him, was that he was an economic leftist.
00:02:38.000 Okay, I am not.
00:02:40.000 But growing up, I have to admit, the hardest argument that myself as a market person, I used to be much more market puritanical 10 years ago than I am now, where I love markets, but I want markets to work so they serve people.
00:02:57.000 People should not serve markets.
00:02:58.000 But one of the hardest arguments that I had to navigate as someone who was a free market defender is when someone on the economic left would say, hey, how can you trust a company whose vested profit interest is to get you addicted to their substance over a period of time and not necessarily improve your health?
00:03:19.000 Now, my response to that was that it depends on the situation and that you'll have competition.
00:03:24.000 And I'll be very honest, there's a very valid point that this is an externality in the market that we really got to talk about.
00:03:32.000 For example, is it really in the best interest of McDonald's to have you eat better food?
00:03:40.000 No, they want it to be pleasurable and have it taste good.
00:03:43.000 Now, does that mean you outlaw McDonald's?
00:03:45.000 Of course not.
00:03:45.000 That's not the point.
00:03:46.000 But another very basic example is a company will always be in the business to keep their product addicting.
00:03:55.000 Now, in some ways, that's actually not always a bad thing.
00:03:59.000 You might say, well, Charlie, come on, what kind of product could be good if it's addicting?
00:04:02.000 A treadmill.
00:04:04.000 That's a good thing.
00:04:05.000 Now, you could obviously run too much and get hurt, obviously.
00:04:08.000 But if a Peloton bike is enjoyable, then that's a good thing.
00:04:13.000 So, not all things that are designed to get you to use something on a regular basis is necessarily a bad thing.
00:04:19.000 I'll give you another great example: Audible readers.
00:04:22.000 If you're reading a bunch of books because it's easy to read it on Audible, praise God, that's awesome.
00:04:26.000 If you're listening to more podcasts like the Charlie Kirk show, that's all great things.
00:04:29.000 So, if you're there's there's plenty of things where you could use that example, but the generally one of the arguments that if I was just in the strict libertarian position that I would struggle with is this idea of the creation of a lifelong pharmaceutical patient, almost an annuity for the pharma state over a longer period of time because of an intervention that was done when the child was very, very young.
00:04:56.000 And so, if a company's profit motive, which generally profit is a very good thing, generally it's a great thing.
00:05:03.000 Generally, it makes for better products and for improved conditions and for lower prices, but there are externalities to things.
00:05:14.000 And I think in healthcare, to actually agree with some of the critiques I used to struggle with a decade ago from some of the more economic leftist people is that there is something that you wonder: is there ever a time when a company is pushing something to you under the guise that it's good for you?
00:05:33.000 In reality, it's actually really bad for you because they stand to make a bunch of money.
00:05:38.000 And the best example of this, well, there's a ton of them.
00:05:41.000 The vaccine is an example of that and many others.
00:05:43.000 But another, a just huge example of this, if you guys get Cut 39 ready to go, I'll call for it in a second, is the medical mutilation of children.
00:05:54.000 Is and where is the left coming in and saying, hold on a second, why are you standing to profit off of chopping kids' parts off?
00:06:04.000 And basically, if you were to paraphrase Lieutenant Aldo Rain from Inglorious Bastards, where he said, Son, we are in the Nazi hunting business and business is a booming.
00:06:22.000 And you could just say the very same if you're the head of Stanford Children's or Vanderbilt Children's or Boston Children's, friend, we're in the chopping off parts of kids business and business is a booming.
00:06:36.000 Play Cut 39.
00:06:38.000 As transgender people are more openly being able to seek therapy, the demand for transgender surgery has increased by five-fold over the past five years.
00:06:51.000 However, if as soon as puberty blockers were added and then estrogen was added to her therapy, Avery's testes never developed.
00:07:02.000 In fact, she does not make any sperm.
00:07:05.000 And her reproductive capability to be a biological parent has been eliminated.
00:07:12.000 Her testes are non-functional.
00:07:15.000 And in medicine, don't we often recommend the removal of non-functional organs like an appendix?
00:07:22.000 So, therefore, does it make sense for Avery to wait until she's 18?
00:07:28.000 Or should older adolescents be allowed to have surgery before the age of 18?
00:07:34.000 So, that is a very convoluted argument of saying we need to now remove parts that don't work because we damage those parts before the age of 18.
00:07:44.000 Remember, in that Vanderbilt clip that Matt Walsh found, the doctor notes that trans surgeries are great because there's so much follow-up and lots of money to make long term.
00:07:54.000 This is the monetization of the medical health of your children.
00:08:00.000 There is no other way to put it.
00:08:02.000 And my frustration, and this is kind of, is that all of the people on the left that I grew up debating, again, it was the argument I struggled with the most, which is that we have a product that is bad for you, and it is our vested interest to propagandize and to lie about it.
00:08:20.000 And that's true in this case.
00:08:23.000 Where is the left saying this is their, this is not right.
00:08:26.000 This is profit gone wrong.
00:08:27.000 And the answer is you have to understand the hierarchy of what matters most on the left.
00:08:31.000 We've done lots of programs on this.
00:08:33.000 What matters most.
00:08:34.000 Scientism matters more than neo-Marxism.
00:08:39.000 In fact, scientism is the top level.
00:08:44.000 Scientism matters even more than race Marxism, believe it or not.
00:08:48.000 Scientism is the irrefutable leader of the American left right now.
00:08:56.000 By the way, these surgeries go wrong all the time.
00:08:59.000 These fake sex organs they make fall apart.
00:09:03.000 And then when they do, more money.
00:09:05.000 And by the way, I hate to be graphic.
00:09:07.000 We call these things bottom and top surgeries.
00:09:09.000 These are euphemisms for literally boring holes into kids' pelvises.
00:09:14.000 Business is a booming.
00:09:17.000 Just replace in this clip Nazi hunting with chopping off kids' parts, play cut 108.
00:09:25.000 I assume you know who we are.
00:09:27.000 Your elder DiApache.
00:09:28.000 Woo!
00:09:31.000 But weren't you heard of us?
00:09:32.000 You probably heard we ain't into prisoner-taking business.
00:09:35.000 We in the killing Nazi business.
00:09:37.000 And cousin businesses are booming.
00:09:41.000 And that is exactly what every single one of these freaks that call themselves doctors say every single day.
00:09:48.000 Business is a booming.
00:09:51.000 They look at your children as a potential annuity, as a science experiment.
00:09:56.000 And this is moving so quickly.
00:09:58.000 They want to be God so bad.
00:09:59.000 They want to have dominion over the natural order.
00:10:03.000 It's part of why they are also obsessed with abortion.
00:10:05.000 They want to be able to crush the innocence of a child.
00:10:08.000 If a child who is propagandized by the Chinese Communist Party TikTok, then all of a sudden thinks like, well, I'm actually a boy, which young girls have a lot of identity issues because they're going through puberty.
00:10:20.000 This is not a new thing.
00:10:21.000 Then all of a sudden, you know, let's go give you Lupron, remove your breasts, and engage in irreversible damage.
00:10:28.000 We shouldn't put up with this.
00:10:32.000 Are you like every one of us that thinks our country has gone nuts, whether it's Russia Gate market crashes or selling oil to China or this insane inflation?
00:10:40.000 Well, right now, you need a financial mind who understands your concerns, but at the same time as a Christian worldview of money.
00:10:47.000 That's why you should talk to my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:10:50.000 Look, I've given my money to PAX Financial to manage.
00:10:53.000 If it's good enough for me, I think it's good for you.
00:10:55.000 Like all of us, they have concerns, but they also have hope.
00:10:58.000 In this market, you must have a financial person who shares your hope and at the same time can help you with biblical responsible investing, B-R-I, biblical, responsible investing.
00:11:08.000 That's why I want you to text the word Charlie to 74868.
00:11:13.000 That is Charlie to 74868 to connect with my friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:11:18.000 Biblical responsible investing.
00:11:20.000 So take out your phone.
00:11:21.000 Just text Charlie to 74868.
00:11:24.000 That's 74868.
00:11:25.000 Text Charlie to connect with my great friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:11:33.000 All right, I'm going to give you a fair warning.
00:11:35.000 This all ties into this.
00:11:36.000 Harry from Minnesota says, Charlie, did you see the latest clip out of the University of Minnesota Medical School?
00:11:42.000 It ties perfectly into what we're talking about.
00:11:44.000 I want to give you a warning.
00:11:45.000 I want you to write this down.
00:11:46.000 I want you to remember it.
00:11:48.000 If you ever, in the next 10 years, 20 years or 30 years, happen to be in a doctor's office and you look at the wall and you're waiting and you're listening to the music and you're looking, you know, reading through the magazines and all of a sudden you see a diploma on the wall of all their certifications.
00:12:06.000 And if you happen to see University of Minnesota, run quickly, cancel your appointment and find another doctor.
00:12:17.000 The University of Minnesota Medical School, this is not the transgender group on campus.
00:12:23.000 This is not BLM.
00:12:24.000 This is not the philosophy department.
00:12:26.000 No, these are the future doctors, nurses, OBGYNs, endocrinologists, neurologists, psychologists.
00:12:35.000 The University of Minnesota Medical School requires students to pledge to fight colonialism and the gender binary.
00:12:46.000 They have upgraded the Hippocratic Oath, and it is not students that did this.
00:12:51.000 This is the top levels of the University of Minnesota Medical School that are requiring students to pledge to fighting colonialism and the gender binary.
00:13:04.000 No exaggeration.
00:13:06.000 These people are the ones that are going to be in very intimate personal environments with people.
00:13:13.000 What does it exactly mean to fight colonialism?
00:13:15.000 Fight white people?
00:13:16.000 What does that mean exactly?
00:13:18.000 Play Cut 107.
00:13:20.000 We, Twin Cities Medical School class of 2026, commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the healthcare system.
00:13:32.000 We recognize inequities built by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression.
00:13:44.000 This is a required oath.
00:13:46.000 The medical school has to recite.
00:13:49.000 And I got to be very honest, I get fired up and I am losing patience.
00:13:53.000 Because sometimes I go to some of our Turning Point USA donor events and I hear people say, well, you know, University of Minnesota is not that bad and, you know, the wokies kind of stay in their corner.
00:14:02.000 That's the medical school.
00:14:05.000 That is not the humanities.
00:14:09.000 No, that these are people that are supposed to be rooted in reason and an inquiry of the natural and scientific world.
00:14:16.000 And they're saying we know that our country is built on white supremacy and on colonialism and on ableism and on structural inequities and that we pledge to fight these things as a doctor.
00:14:28.000 What exactly does that mean?
00:14:30.000 Does that mean that given the choice, they're not going to administer health care to a white person, just asking for a friend?
00:14:35.000 How does this play out exactly?
00:14:37.000 They have changed the Hippocratic Oath from service, regardless of skin color or background or income, to Hippocratic Oath of Now, which is a social justice incantation, quasi-pagan cult religious vow.
00:14:51.000 That right there, what you just heard, that is a religious statement.
00:14:55.000 If you came into the ER with a MAGA hat in Minneapolis, are they going to serve you?
00:15:01.000 This is a level that we have not seen in quite some time.
00:15:05.000 And by the way, again, hate to keep plugging it.
00:15:07.000 The college scam, we've been trying to warn against this.
00:15:10.000 This is not just the future, you know, kids on the side of the street and they become Starbucks baristas.
00:15:15.000 Oh, yeah, it's so funny, you know, but I'm going to keep on supporting University of Minnesota because they are a great school.
00:15:19.000 Go gophers.
00:15:22.000 They're requiring nurses to say they're going to administer health care based on a belief of white supremacists' colonialist values.
00:15:32.000 This is people's lives.
00:15:34.000 This is not, by the way, it'd be one thing if they were taught this, bad.
00:15:38.000 Another thing if that they were taught to repeat it in a test, bad.
00:15:42.000 This is their new North Star mission statement.
00:15:48.000 They're forced to read off a piece of paper.
00:15:53.000 And one of our listeners is saying, what happened to reciting the Hippocratic Oath?
00:15:56.000 This is the new Hippocratic Oath that they are putting in.
00:15:59.000 They're changing the Hippocratic Oath.
00:16:01.000 The new Hippocratic Oath is saying we must acknowledge white supremacy and structural racism.
00:16:06.000 We must acknowledge colonialism.
00:16:08.000 The new generation of doctors at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is being raised up to not help people, but to be social justice activists.
00:16:18.000 I know a lot of you are going to email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:16:21.000 Why are we, how did this happen?
00:16:22.000 Because we were nice for too long.
00:16:24.000 Nice people have done a lot of damage to America.
00:16:27.000 There's a lot of boomers out there that are really nice.
00:16:30.000 God bless you.
00:16:31.000 Being nice has allowed evil to take over all this stuff.
00:16:37.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:39.000 Illegal drug trafficking has turned our southern border into a war zone.
00:16:43.000 It's a war that no one wants to talk about.
00:16:45.000 You got to see Border Battle.
00:16:46.000 We here at Turning Point USA have collaborated with the wonderful Salem Media Company to get this in your hands.
00:16:52.000 We've worked so, so hard on this over the last nine months.
00:16:56.000 You'll learn about the drug fentanyl and the cartel Jalisco, new generation, and the Sineola cartel have created the worst overdose death crisis in American history.
00:17:05.000 If you're confused about the border, if you're mad about the border, if you're motivated to do something about the border, you have to learn about the border with our new documentary, Border Battle.

00:17:23.000 Again, we at Turning Point USA went to the front lines of the border.
00:17:26.000 We captured it.
00:17:27.000 Our team did an amazing job.

00:17:39.000 We got one from Jeremy.
00:17:40.000 I was just listening to your piece on the Minnesota Medical School.
00:17:43.000 I work at Sanford Health in Fargo, North Dakota, and they refuse to recognize Columbus Day and refer to it in woke terminology.
00:17:50.000 All employees just got an email saying happy indigenous.
00:17:52.000 They also support pride and all the leftist values.
00:17:55.000 I'd love to see more attention brought to these big medical facilities that are practicing leftist values more than medicine.
00:18:02.000 Yeah, I mean, look, North Dakota has some of the weakest Republicans in the country, I have to say.
00:18:07.000 It's been such a disappointment.
00:18:08.000 It is the most, it is the greatest misalignment between phenomenal people.
00:18:15.000 The people in North Dakota are awesome.
00:18:18.000 I get so many emails from them.
00:18:19.000 I love going to North Dakota.
00:18:21.000 Oh, I just love it.
00:18:22.000 And then the politicians are so crummy.
00:18:25.000 They're so weak.
00:18:27.000 They're so cowardly.
00:18:29.000 They're so corrupt.
00:18:30.000 It's just such a disappointment.
00:18:32.000 You guys deserve so much better.
00:18:34.000 In Arizona, we have Cary Lake.
00:18:36.000 Florida has Ron DeSantis.
00:18:41.000 Yeah, I don't know about North Dakota.
00:18:44.000 Okay, let's get to another question here.
00:18:46.000 Oh, I want to play this one.
00:18:47.000 Okay, yeah, this kind of goes on to this.
00:18:49.000 Sal has a question from Mississippi about churches becoming politicized.
00:18:55.000 This clip plays into it.
00:18:56.000 Play Cut66.
00:18:58.000 This is a pastor at Drag Queen Story Hour at a local church.
00:19:03.000 By the way, if you're a Christian, listen to this.
00:19:05.000 I really hope you know that churches across the country are having transgender events in their church quite often.
00:19:14.000 And this is probably an Episcopalian church, if I'm not mistaken.
00:19:17.000 Can we find out what church it is, please?
00:19:19.000 PlayCut 66.
00:19:21.000 Well, one of the things I think is great about Miss Pentecost is she reminds us that we follow a God who calls us to not conform to things of this world.
00:19:31.000 That we're supposed to be transformed by the renewal of our minds.
00:19:34.000 And that means that what I think today may have to change tomorrow if I continue to renew my mind.
00:19:40.000 And it's so cool that we serve a God that calls us to continue to grow and continue to change into something new.
00:19:48.000 This guy's a very sick person.
00:19:49.000 I hope you understand that.
00:19:51.000 First of all, that's not what the scripture says.
00:19:53.000 Okay.
00:19:54.000 I happen to know the 12th chapter of Romans better than most.
00:19:59.000 It says, do not conform to the patterns of this world, moron.
00:20:03.000 So don't conform to the patterns of the world like that transgender freak you brought into your church.
00:20:08.000 So why don't you tell the kids that?
00:20:10.000 The first part of it, it says, don't do what the world is doing.
00:20:12.000 What is the world doing?
00:20:14.000 Drag queen story hour.
00:20:16.000 LGBT stuff.
00:20:17.000 So the first part of the teaching, you heretic, heretical loser, is, well, don't conform to it, but instead it says, be transformed by what?
00:20:27.000 By your mind getting renewed by what?
00:20:30.000 What's Romans 12, 1?
00:20:32.000 What's Romans 12, 3?
00:20:34.000 It's all about the mercy of God coming down to us and answers the question, how do we respond to God's great mercy?
00:20:40.000 And the answer is by living, breathing sacrifices using our life in service of God, which also means the natural law.
00:20:48.000 We need to break free of the me first pattern and then have our minds change in order to better understand what God wants for us.
00:20:58.000 Look, I'm sorry, I'm not sure in any way, shape, or form, it might not be religious.
00:21:02.000 God doesn't want you normalizing child abuse.
00:21:05.000 Allendale United Methodist Church.
00:21:08.000 Not to mention, so again, it says, do not conform to the ways of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
00:21:13.000 And then the verse continues that you, by testing, you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
00:21:25.000 Do you really think that God having children, that God looks at children having their parts chopped off, would consider that to be good, acceptable, and perfect?
00:21:37.000 You don't have to go too deep into the teachings of Jesus, where he was very clear about what happens when you pray on children.
00:21:44.000 If any one of you causes these little ones, those who believe in me, to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
00:21:55.000 This is Allendale United Church, United Methodist Church in Florida.
00:22:00.000 And by the way, I say this, yeah, I'll say it.
00:22:02.000 There's a special place in hell for twisting scripture to pervert children.
00:22:07.000 Okay, let's get to another question here.
00:22:09.000 We're getting your thoughts.
00:22:10.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:22:13.000 To say to kids, yeah, you could do whatever you want.
00:22:16.000 You go take Lupron.
00:22:18.000 That's unbelievable.
00:22:20.000 It really kind of does come down to some of the self-love garbage that is being taught in our society.
00:22:25.000 I listened to a very good speech from Dennis Prager on it, and I do want to talk about it, but let's get to some other stuff first.
00:22:31.000 Okay, here's a question here.
00:22:33.000 Sally from Montana.
00:22:34.000 Charlie, my son wants to go into the military.
00:22:36.000 I heard you talk about this at your turning point USA event at Grand Canyon University.
00:22:40.000 What do you think?
00:22:42.000 Should my son go into the military?
00:22:44.000 So I answered the question at GCU, and I said very clearly that the threat that I, the concern I would have for your son or your daughter, and not in this instance, it's not a daughter, but if your son or daughter wants to go into the military, is the wokeism that is just pervading into our military.
00:22:58.000 Military recruitment is down 25%.
00:23:02.000 It is at its lowest level since the 1970s, since the Vietnam War.
00:23:06.000 And in a normal and decent and functioning society, we would take pause and say, why is military enrollment down so much?
00:23:22.000 Does anyone want to answer that question?
00:23:23.000 I want to ask that question.
00:23:25.000 Is the media working on a big piece saying, oh, I wonder why military enrollment is down 20%?
00:23:33.000 Well, this army secretary, who's now the best that we have, I guess, what a joke, says she doesn't even know what woke means.
00:23:42.000 How would this person be acting differently if they were on CCP payroll?
00:23:46.000 Show me the differences of actions.
00:23:49.000 Play cut 34.
00:23:50.000 You know, we get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being woke.
00:23:54.000 I'm not sure what woke means.
00:23:56.000 I think woke means a lot of different things to different people.
00:23:59.000 But I think, you know, we do have a wide range of soldiers in our Army, and we've got to make them all feel included.
00:24:07.000 And that's why a lot of our diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are important.
00:24:13.000 No, you don't.
00:24:15.000 You don't have to make them feel included.
00:24:16.000 Who the heck?
00:24:17.000 Where do you get that idea?
00:24:19.000 Is the purpose of the military to make people feel included?
00:24:23.000 How does no one challenge her on this?
00:24:24.000 It's Christine War Month.
00:24:26.000 You think George S. Patton was interested in making people feel included?
00:24:31.000 Do you think General Douglas MacArthur was worried about making people feel included?
00:24:37.000 If there was one place where I think intolerance needs to be, let's just say, pretty acceptable, it's the U.S. military.
00:24:47.000 No, here's an example.
00:24:48.000 So if Christine Warmuth says people need to feel included, should we not have any sort of physical fitness requirement to be able to join the military?
00:24:58.000 I mean, Mark Milley is exhibit A that physical fitness doesn't really matter to be able to join our military.
00:25:04.000 So if we just have someone who's 450 pounds, yeah, like, come on, pal.
00:25:08.000 Should we no longer have height requirements to be able to fly F-35s, which by the way, if you're very tall, you have to sign special waivers because it's hard to eject yourself.
00:25:17.000 No, by definition, the military has to be harsh.
00:25:22.000 All of society does not have to be like the military.
00:25:24.000 I fully admit that.
00:25:26.000 But the military, if there's one place where inclusivity should not be a value, it should be the United States military.
00:25:34.000 It's like, well, we want our soldiers to feel comfortable.
00:25:36.000 Really?
00:25:38.000 Well, what is the mission of the U.S. military exactly?
00:25:42.000 General Mark Milley says, I want to understand white rage, and I'm white.
00:25:48.000 So to answer the question, why is it that military enrollment is down 20%?
00:25:52.000 Why would you fight for a government that hates you?
00:25:55.000 And by the way, what is this woman's title, Christine Warmuth?
00:25:58.000 How many wars has she won?
00:26:00.000 Christine Warmuth, social justice warrior, woke loser, secretary of the Army.
00:26:09.000 What a joke.
00:26:11.000 Well, we want our diverse amount of people.
00:26:13.000 Of course, it's just, you can't write this.
00:26:17.000 She has her political science degree from Williams College.
00:26:22.000 And if you know anything about Williams College, it is one of the most liberal, left-wing, intolerant universities in America, Williams College in Massachusetts.
00:26:31.000 I used to think the military was there to fight wars and win wars and crush the enemy and kill the enemy.
00:26:37.000 Not make people feel included.
00:26:39.000 Cut 111.
00:26:40.000 Remember Mark Milley, who obviously is a living example that weight requirements mean nothing to be involved in the U.S. military.
00:26:45.000 Play cut 111.
00:26:47.000 And it is important that we train and we understand.
00:26:52.000 And I want to understand white rage.
00:26:54.000 And I'm white.
00:26:54.000 And I want to understand it.
00:26:56.000 So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?
00:27:04.000 What caused that?
00:27:05.000 I want to find that out.
00:27:07.000 Yeah, I mean, who planted the pipe bombs, Mark Mille?
00:27:09.000 Who's Ray Epps?
00:27:11.000 He is such a parrot of the regime.
00:27:13.000 U.S. Army missed recruiting by 25%.
00:27:16.000 We got an email from Douglas here.
00:27:18.000 Good afternoon, Charlie.
00:27:19.000 Just wanted to remark on this subject.
00:27:20.000 As a veteran under the 82 who served in Afghanistan and was honorably discharged, thank you for your service.
00:27:26.000 I mean that.
00:27:26.000 By the way, none of this is a critique of the wonderful service members.
00:27:31.000 I hope that's clear.
00:27:32.000 It should be.
00:27:33.000 So I just want to make sure I reinforce that.
00:27:35.000 My heart is broken over knowing how the most proud time of my life has been tainted under this wokeness with much respect from Douglas.
00:27:41.000 Douglas, that's right.
00:27:43.000 I got to be very honest.
00:27:44.000 What's happening by these maniacs is tainting the great heroism, and it shouldn't.
00:27:48.000 That's not right, but it's life and it's true.
00:27:51.000 The great heroism of our soldiers is now being blended and blurred by these college academics.
00:27:57.000 I said at Grand Canyon University, the U.S. military is becoming a college campus with missiles.
00:28:05.000 Email here.
00:28:06.000 Charlie, I know exactly what you're talking about in Minneapolis.
00:28:08.000 My son and his friends who are Christian live in that area.
00:28:10.000 My grandchildren have nurses that wear hijabs.
00:28:13.000 The stores they go to have the same when I visit them.
00:28:14.000 I feel like a third world country.
00:28:16.000 My son's representative is Elon Omar.
00:28:18.000 They live five blocks from where George Floyd died.
00:28:20.000 When I visit, I see drug sellers, homeless, gunshots, and drug addicts.
00:28:24.000 My son has a PhD in computer programming from and was a professor at UMN.
00:28:29.000 They fired my son because he wouldn't get the vaccine.
00:28:32.000 What's worse is they would not give him recommendation for other jobs.
00:28:35.000 Of course not.
00:28:35.000 Again, it's so bad, they have to purchase a farm out in Langford, Minnesota.
00:28:38.000 They plan on letting their daughter finish her school year.
00:28:40.000 I pray that God protects them in his love, Pauline.
00:28:44.000 Minnesota is a beautiful, beautiful state with great people.
00:28:49.000 And that is just another example.
00:28:50.000 Minnesota and North Dakota.
00:28:52.000 There's something too.
00:28:53.000 And by the way, Seattle is very similar.
00:28:55.000 I have a whole theory about this, and it's a generalization theory.
00:28:58.000 But Scandinavians are such sweet, private people.
00:29:02.000 I think their sweetness and their lack of confrontation has allowed the worst aspects of humanity to take over their political system.
00:29:12.000 They taught Minnesota nice.
00:29:14.000 By the way, the two cities that the Scandinavians built is Seattle and Minnesota.
00:29:17.000 Minneapolis, I should say.
00:29:18.000 Sorry, be more clear.
00:29:19.000 Seattle and Minneapolis.
00:29:20.000 And it's now just dominated by left-wing politics.
00:29:23.000 I'll say it again: nice people have done a lot of damage to our country.
00:29:28.000 I don't care if you're nice.
00:29:29.000 Are you good?
00:29:33.000 MyPillow is having their biggest sheet sale of the year.

00:30:25.000 I got a question here about Paul Ryan.
00:30:31.000 We're in our kind of group chat here lamenting.
00:30:33.000 I fully admit I used to be a huge Paul Ryan fan when I was very young.
00:30:37.000 Not recently, back in 2012 and 13.
00:30:40.000 Producer Andrew even donated to Paul Ryan.
00:30:43.000 We thought he was the one.
00:30:45.000 It's that Star Wars meme, right?
00:30:47.000 Of Obi-Wan over the volcano with Anakin Skywalker.
00:30:51.000 You were supposed to be the one.
00:30:53.000 He became Darth Vader.
00:30:55.000 Yeah, Paul Ryan was Tea Party and he was supposed to be able to kind of outmaneuver the liberals on arguments about the national debt and all of that.
00:31:04.000 It's funny.
00:31:05.000 We used to actually talk about issues like that.
00:31:06.000 Now we're debating whether or not we should be able to chemically cash trade an eight-year-old.
00:31:12.000 We used to talk about the penny plan and fiscal policy.
00:31:14.000 All wonderful things.
00:31:15.000 I just, that's not what we do anymore.
00:31:18.000 Okay, so Paul Ryan is coming out with this expert political advice.
00:31:22.000 I don't know who's taking it or who's listening.
00:31:25.000 So Paul Ryan comes out 113 and giving his contributions to the American political landscape.
00:31:30.000 113.
00:31:31.000 I think Trump's unelectability will be palpable by then.
00:31:35.000 We all know that he will lose, or he's, let me put it this way.
00:31:39.000 We all know that he's so much more likely to lose the White House than anybody else running for president on our side of the aisle.
00:31:45.000 So why would we want to go with that?
00:31:47.000 So the only reason he stays where he is is because everybody's afraid of him.
00:31:52.000 They're afraid of him, you know, going after them, hurting their own ambition.
00:31:57.000 But as soon as you get sort of the herd mentality going, it's unstoppable.
00:32:01.000 So I think the fact that he polls so much poorer than anybody else running for president as a Republican against a Democrat is enough right there.
00:32:11.000 He's going to know this.
00:32:12.000 And so whether he runs or not, I don't really know if it matters.
00:32:16.000 He's not going to be the nominee, I don't think.
00:32:19.000 That's my view.
00:32:20.000 So he's saying that Trump can't win a primary?
00:32:24.000 Is that the argument of Paul Ryan right now?
00:32:27.000 Has he seen a single Republican primary in this last nine months from the Michigan election with Tudor Dixon or Kerry Lake in Arizona?
00:32:38.000 When Trump endorses somebody, it ends political careers.
00:32:41.000 How would that not translate in a GOP primary?
00:32:45.000 It reminds me of this, Mr. Paul Ryan, play cut 114.
00:32:49.000 You are the chosen one.
00:32:52.000 It was said that you would destroy this and not join them.
00:32:59.000 That's the AOC meme at the end.
00:33:05.000 Paul Ryan had such potential as he became Speaker of the House and he was a spokesperson and he really became kind of a parrot for the neoliberal regime.
00:33:13.000 He's become a lobbyist, all this sort of stuff.
00:33:15.000 It's been a big disappointment.
00:33:17.000 It's just so interesting to me how establishment Democrats and Republicans are so smug and synthetic compared to MAGA candidates who are just so authentic.
00:33:27.000 I mean, we had Mark Fincham.
00:33:30.000 We have Kerry Lake.
00:33:34.000 Yeah, I mean, Paul Ryan really, really hoodwinked me.
00:33:37.000 I got to be honest.
00:33:38.000 It's really, it's sad.
00:33:40.000 And he could have really been something.
00:33:42.000 Okay, I want to play this one more time.
00:33:44.000 We did this previously, but it's worthy of repeating.
00:33:47.000 Cut 84, AOC interrupted by anti-war protesters.
00:33:51.000 Play cut 84.
00:33:52.000 Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there's a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine.
00:34:00.000 There will be no neighbors if there's a nuclear bomb.
00:34:04.000 You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis.
00:34:08.000 You're a coward.
00:34:09.000 You're a progressive socialist.
00:34:11.000 Where are you against the war mobilization?
00:34:14.000 I believed in you, and you became the very thing you sought to fight against.
00:34:20.000 You became the very thing you sought to fight against.
00:34:22.000 Very similar to that Star Wars clip, isn't it?
00:34:24.000 AOC better watch out.
00:34:26.000 There is a Democrat grassroots civil war brewing of the grassroots that actually might challenge their Democrat leaders being like, what have you done exactly for me recently?
00:34:35.000 It's very interesting, though.
00:34:37.000 AOC does a town hall in her district.
00:34:41.000 Completely empty audience.
00:34:43.000 You know who doesn't have empty audiences?
00:34:45.000 Our Turning Point USA events.
00:34:47.000 Candace Owens goes to Michigan State University.
00:34:49.000 Got to turn away hundreds of kids.
00:34:50.000 UT Austin, we had a packed house.
00:34:52.000 Grand Canyon, well, over a thousand.
00:34:55.000 We aren't members of Congress.
00:34:58.000 We're just here to talk about ideas and values and try to convince you to have a conservative worldview.
00:35:03.000 I wonder who's really winning.
