00:02:06.000 You can also email them to us if you're a member, but only if you're a member, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:02:12.000 I want to encourage you guys to get in the queue line on the Zoom call that we have just for our members.
00:02:18.000 And we'll go from there.
00:02:19.000 So let's go to this question here, one of our members.
00:02:21.000 Dominic, let's have you join and ask your question here.
00:02:25.000 Dominic, how are you?
00:02:26.000 I am doing good.
00:02:27.000 How about yourself?
00:02:28.000 Good, thank you.
00:02:29.000 I just wanted to know, like, how are you able to just be so quick when people ask you?
00:02:33.000 Because they ask you like a range of any questions.
00:02:35.000 So I wanted to kind of know how you're able to respond so quickly.
00:02:38.000 I was just so surprised by how quick you are.
00:02:40.000 You know, I always see you on like my reels and stuff, but I always think maybe it's like edited for something.
00:02:46.000 But when I saw it in person, I was like, that's some quick responses.
00:02:50.000 Well, thank you.
00:02:51.000 Yeah.
00:02:51.000 So those of you that don't know, I go to many campuses, UNLV being one of them.
00:02:55.000 I'm going to University of Utah next week if people want to attend that.
00:03:00.000 I think that's on Tuesday.
00:03:01.000 We're going to have a whole deal we're doing in Salt Lake.
00:03:03.000 It's going to be really great.
00:03:04.000 Look, I read every day.
00:03:07.000 I'm listening to podcasts all the time.
00:03:08.000 It's been 11 years of just consuming information and becoming a subject matter expert.
00:03:12.000 I obsess over these ideas.
00:03:14.000 And I'll sit there, as you well know, and I'll take questions from anybody.
00:03:17.000 I have no notes, no laptop, no phone, just what's in my head.
00:03:21.000 And we'll take questions and people can say whatever they want.
00:03:23.000 They can film whatever they want.
00:03:24.000 We're very open.
00:03:25.000 We're not afraid of confrontation or people trying to make us look bad.
00:03:28.000 And, you know, a lot of these clips go very viral.
00:03:30.000 And some of the clips, by the way, we have a lot of agreement and they're wholesome discussions and some of them get rather contentious.
00:03:36.000 So if you want to be able to respond quickly and respond appropriately, you have to make learning your top priority, which is what I personally do.
00:03:44.000 I try to read 100 books a year, at least one book a week, at least a book a week.
00:03:49.000 And then also listening to podcasts, consuming news and information, and then being around other smart people, being around other people that really know what they're talking about.
00:03:56.000 That helps refine your arguments, helps build better positions, and participate in dialogue on the pursuit of truth.
00:04:03.000 So, Dominic, thank you for being a member.
00:04:05.000 Really appreciate it.
00:04:05.000 Thank you.
00:04:06.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:04:07.000 Okay, are these ones that you want me to answer?
00:04:10.000 Are these in the queue, Daisy?
00:04:12.000 I answer one.
00:04:13.000 Okay, God.
00:04:13.000 Kimberly, one of our members, says, Charlie, how does TP Action go through vetting someone you're endorsing for a political position?
00:04:20.000 Do you talk to local chapters?
00:04:22.000 Do you personally vet them or somebody else?
00:04:24.000 So we have an entire team and department that is focused on vetting candidates.
00:04:30.000 In fact, from top to bottom, they will talk to the candidates.
00:04:34.000 We have a questionnaire.
00:04:35.000 And then we have a whole board that will vote on the endorsements that we have.
00:04:40.000 And then finally, I have to sign off on all of them as founder and CEO.
00:04:44.000 And so I encourage all of you really to take a look at the great work that Turning Point Action is doing, in addition to everything that Turning Point USA is doing.
00:04:50.000 Do you know that we have a scorecard at Turning Point Action?
00:04:53.000 We have an entire scorecard.
00:04:55.000 It's the 118th Congressional Scorecard Session 2.
00:04:59.000 And you'll be able to see everybody and how they vote.
00:05:01.000 So for example, we can go to Louisiana and we can see how's Mike Johnson voting, for example?
00:05:08.000 How is Steve Scalise voting?
00:05:10.000 Or how are the Democrats in Louisiana voting?
00:05:13.000 And by doing that, you're able to, at Turning Point Action, give you the ability to hold these members accountable, these members of Congress accountable.
00:05:22.000 And we have the app and we are developing it further, the Turning Point Action app, where we are going to be able to have you this fall have the Turning Point Action app available at your disposal where you can knock on doors, you can chase ballots and hold your elected leaders accountable.
00:05:39.000 If you want to download it, actually, it's in the App Store right now.
00:05:42.000 It is TP Action.
00:05:44.000 That's it.
00:05:44.000 It's TP Action in the App Store.
00:05:47.000 You could check it out.
00:05:47.000 The app is really remarkable.
00:05:49.000 It's really incredible.
00:05:50.000 It's being used by thousands and thousands of people.
00:05:52.000 You should download the TP Action app.
00:05:54.000 We're going to be using it a lot more.
00:05:56.000 Let's go to the next question here.
00:05:58.000 Trish says, Charlie, besides cold showers and waiting for your coffee in the morning, do you have any other health tips or things you need to be healthier?
00:06:04.000 Yes, I do take a cold shower every single day.
00:06:07.000 I'm a big believer in cold water.
00:06:10.000 I also try to intermittent fast, so I try to stretch out meals.
00:06:15.000 So I try to go at least 10 to 12, sometimes even 14 to 16 hours before I try to have the next meal.
00:06:21.000 And in addition, yeah, I take a fair amount of supplements.
00:06:24.000 And I will also, as far as the health regimen goes, love Strong Cell, love taking that as a partner and as a supplement.
00:06:36.000 And I'll tell you that I'm also pretty hawkish on my diet.
00:06:39.000 I'll only eat a couple things, trying to expand the diet right now.
00:06:43.000 It basically is lean protein and healthy fats and very few to almost no carbohydrates.
00:06:48.000 And also, I encourage you guys to check out myphdweightloss.com.
00:06:52.000 And I love trying to have time to meditate, to pray, to read.
00:06:56.000 And so those are just some of my health hacks.
00:06:58.000 I'm really big into that.
00:06:59.000 We can have a lot of biohackers on the program.
00:07:02.000 I have more energy than I've ever had.
00:07:04.000 And, you know, no alcohol.
00:07:06.000 I think liquor is really bad for you.
00:07:07.000 And I think that people that drink are not as productive.
00:07:10.000 Donald Trump doesn't drink.
00:07:11.000 Tucker Carlson doesn't drink.
00:07:12.000 Dennis Prager doesn't drink.
00:07:14.000 Jack Pisobic doesn't drink.
00:07:15.000 Dan Bongino rarely ever drinks.
00:07:17.000 The most productive, high-energy people in the conservative movement don't consume alcohol.
00:07:22.000 Something to think about.
00:07:23.000 Okay, let's get to another question here.
00:07:26.000 Let's go here.
00:07:27.000 Bob, as far as you know, what is being done legally or procedurally, whether on or before election day to prevent the various kinds of election fraud that occurred in 2020?
00:07:35.000 So there's a little bit being done.
00:07:37.000 Not enough, to be perfectly honest.
00:07:38.000 We need to have people in the voting areas that are going to have a check on the voting process itself.
00:07:46.000 But the most important fight is on the voting rolls.
00:07:52.000 Corrupt voter roles lead to mass mail-in balloting with ballots that are not correlated to voters.
00:08:01.000 This is why I'm against mail-in voting.
00:08:03.000 That's why I would love to get back to in-person day of voting.
00:08:06.000 That should be our goal.
00:08:07.000 Mass mail-in voting is bad for everybody.
00:08:10.000 However, we need to use mass mail-in voting right now as a means to try and win elections and assume political power and defeat the Democrats.
00:08:18.000 We have to use the power or at least the systems at our disposal to try and achieve victory.
00:08:25.000 Now, Wisconsin and Arizona have successfully been able to ban drop Zuckerboxes or drop boxes.
00:08:32.000 In Arizona, we believe that our deployment of the ballot-chasing army at Turning Point Action is going to make a very big difference.
00:08:40.000 You know, I was just actually going through an entire meeting this morning with the Turning Point Action team, and they were showing precinct by precinct and home by home of how we're going to chase ballots.
00:08:49.000 And by doing so, having more eyes on the ground is going to increase election integrity.
00:08:55.000 Election integrity is a major issue.
00:08:57.000 It's something that we really share a lot of concerns about at Turning Point Action.
00:09:01.000 I know the Trump campaign does as well.
00:09:02.000 In fact, the Trump campaign announced this morning that they're going to have over 100,000 workers and volunteers in polling places watching the vote tabulation and watching what is happening on Election Day.
00:09:14.000 So I was very encouraged to see that report out of the Trump campaign.
00:09:18.000 And I'm sure there'll be more updates coming in just a little bit.
00:09:24.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:09:28.000 If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:09:38.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:09:43.000 I take it every single day.
00:09:46.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.
00:09:47.000 I did the research.
00:09:48.000 Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen.
00:09:54.000 It's simple.
00:09:55.000 Every area of your body has cells.
00:09:57.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.
00:10:00.000 You don't have to take my word for it.
00:10:02.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.
00:10:04.000 After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas: less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:10:10.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:10:13.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:10:16.000 At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:10:22.000 I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:10:29.000 Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:10:32.000 So there it is.
00:10:33.000 You've heard from me directly and some of the users who have seen their lives changed by Strong Cell.
00:10:38.000 I personally recommend taking it every day for at least 30 days.
00:10:42.000 I take it every day before I go on the air, and it's helped me in more ways than I can even name.
00:10:46.000 Each of our bodies is very different.
00:10:48.000 So I would recommend you give the supplement at least two to three months to see the changes in your body.
00:10:53.000 Go to strongcell.com and learn more for yourself.

00:11:23.000 How are you guys doing?
00:11:24.000 What's on your mind?
00:11:25.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:11:25.000 Yeah.
00:11:26.000 How are you?
00:11:27.000 Just doing great.
00:11:28.000 Thanks.
00:11:29.000 Hey, here's our question.
00:11:31.000 Last week, as we've been watching President Trump in New York, it's been a good insight into his affability.
00:11:37.000 And I was wondering if you could talk about your friendship with him, including how you first met and maybe a favorite story about a personal interaction with him.
00:11:46.000 Yeah, no, he's special.
00:11:48.000 He is incredibly affable.
00:11:49.000 I love that.
00:11:50.000 He's actually hilarious in person.
00:11:52.000 And I wish that side of him was shown more.
00:11:56.000 And he's incredibly friendly, so good-natured.
00:11:58.000 I first met President Trump at a fundraiser when it was candidate Trump in summer of 2016, a couple weeks before I spoke at his convention, where I was the youngest speaker at the 2016 RNC.
00:12:13.000 Beyond that, had a nurturing and great, really nurtured a good relationship with him as he became president.
00:12:20.000 And he was so generous to me and invited me to the White House many times.
00:12:23.000 Got to know each other.
00:12:24.000 Obviously, as my platform grew, I defended him on Fox News, on cable TV, on social media, and got to know him really well throughout his entire tenure as president.
00:12:35.000 And then obviously been getting to know him even better in his post-presidential year.
00:12:40.000 I'll tell you one story.
00:12:42.000 It's kind of amazing.
00:12:44.000 I once visited him down at Mar-a-Lago for Easter, and Erica was with me, and we weren't married at the time, but we were dating, and we were at Mar-a-Lago at Easter, and sat down with Trump, and Trump said, hey, do you want to just fly back to DC with me?
00:12:58.000 I said, yeah, sure.
00:12:59.000 So invited us on Air Force One and treated us amazingly.
00:13:02.000 And I said, boy, only in America could a kid who just has a high school degree be able to go down to Mar-a-Lago, see a president, get invited on Air Force One.
00:13:13.000 So we had a great time on Air Force One and saw that incredible machine and had a really, really fun time with him.
00:13:21.000 So he's a terrific guy.
00:13:22.000 He's incredibly generous.
00:13:23.000 He cares about people.
00:13:24.000 He has deeply held beliefs.
00:13:26.000 And I really wish that I wish he got a fair shake in the media.
00:13:32.000 So thank you, Caleb and Michelle.
00:13:33.000 Hope you guys are great.
00:13:34.000 That's really special.
00:13:35.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:13:36.000 You bet.
00:13:36.000 Okay, we have a lot of questions here.
00:13:38.000 Again, if you guys want to ask us questions, it's members.charliekirk.com.
00:13:42.000 April, what is on your mind?
00:13:44.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:13:44.000 Can you hear me?
00:13:45.000 How are you?
00:13:45.000 Yes.
00:13:47.000 I am so excited.
00:13:49.000 I just absolutely adore you.
00:13:50.000 I listen to you every morning on my way to work for months, and I finally have gotten a membership.
00:13:58.000 So I was wondering if we should be concerned about the cloud seating and all of the environmental stuff that's going on.
00:14:10.000 You know.
00:14:12.000 Yeah, I don't know much about that.
00:14:15.000 So I'm not sure.
00:14:17.000 I did hear some people talking about the cloud seating and chemtrails in Arizona.
00:14:22.000 So I'd probably have to have an expert on that.
00:14:25.000 But don't know much about that, April, but I'll definitely look into it.
00:14:30.000 So I believe cloud seating is a technique used to improve precipitation, according to a lot of experts.
00:14:37.000 Scientists do this by putting tiny particles called nuclei into the atmosphere and attaches to the clouds.
00:14:42.000 That's what Andrew puts in the chat here.
00:14:44.000 So I know a lot of people are definitely talking about it, but I got to look into that, April.
00:14:48.000 So anything you want to share on that or things that you have that I should look into there?
00:14:54.000 No, I'm just so excited to see you.
00:14:56.000 I just love you guys so much.
00:14:58.000 Thank you so much for what you're doing.
00:15:00.000 Thank you.
00:15:01.000 All right.
00:15:01.000 God bless you, April.
00:15:02.000 Thanks so much.
00:15:03.000 You too.
00:15:04.000 Everybody, email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:15:06.000 You can go to members.charliekirk.com.
00:15:08.000 And I also want to encourage you, if you're listening on radio, get your tickets to the People's Convention in Detroit, Michigan.
00:15:17.000 It is going to be the event of the summer, tpaction.com slash peoples.
00:15:23.000 We have an amazing lineup of people there.
00:15:26.000 And I just want to brag on the entire Turning Point team, from Blexit, the Turning Point Academy, to Turning Point USA High School, Turning Point USA College, to the remarkable media team.
00:15:36.000 I mean, we are going viral on every possible vertical and channel.
00:15:41.000 And it's really something.
00:15:43.000 The team is doing a really great job.
00:15:44.000 Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action are America's best hope.
00:15:48.000 And I just kind of sit in awe at their work ethic, the results that they're putting forward, their grittiness, their resolve, their creativity, their ingenuity.
00:15:59.000 And then next weekend, this is not going to be publicized as far as live stream, but I also want to just thank our amazing donors.
00:16:06.000 We have 300 of our top donors coming for a retreat next week in Santa Barbara.
00:16:11.000 It's going to be pretty amazing.

00:16:15.000 So thank you all that support us.
00:16:20.000 The world is in flames, and biodynomics is a complete and total disaster, but it can't and won't ruin my day.

00:17:01.000 Let's go to Tim.
00:17:02.000 Tim, thank you so much for being a member.
00:17:05.000 What's on your mind?
00:17:06.000 Hello, Charlie.
00:17:07.000 Can you hear me?
00:17:08.000 Tim, yes.
00:17:08.000 How are you?
00:17:10.000 I'm doing great.
00:17:12.000 Charlie, we all know that last week was very disappointing with Speaker Johnson.
00:17:18.000 His lack of courage is appalling.
00:17:21.000 I'm wondering what your thoughts are.
00:17:23.000 I don't think he realizes that his lack of courage and his refusal to defend Republican priorities is going to potentially cost the Republicans dearly in November.
00:17:43.000 What are your thoughts on how his conduct and his support of Democrat priorities will impact the election in November?
00:17:52.000 It's a great question, Tim.
00:17:54.000 I want to spend some time on this.
00:17:56.000 Number one, I just want to say I'm really saddened by this.
00:18:02.000 I gave him a chance.
00:18:04.000 Now, out of the gate, I was pretty upset.
00:18:07.000 I had my hopes high out of the gate, and he did all the Democrat bidding of Joe Biden, of Chuck Schumer, on spending.
00:18:15.000 He didn't shut down the government.
00:18:16.000 We didn't get a single concession on spending, and we are borrowing more money than ever.
00:18:21.000 And Johnson did not hold the line.
00:18:23.000 Johnson did not use any leverage.
00:18:26.000 He did not use the leverage of Thanksgiving or Christmas break, just pure capitulation and surrender.
00:18:32.000 Now, it was a new year, kind of fresh beginnings.
00:18:36.000 Speaker Johnson texted me, reached out to me, and said, Hey, you know, can you talk?
00:18:40.000 And I decided to give him another chance.
00:18:43.000 Talk to the team.
00:18:43.000 I said, Hey, this guy seems like a real conservative.
00:18:46.000 He talks the Christian game.
00:18:48.000 He seems sincere on the phone.
00:18:49.000 I had a 40-minute phone call with him.
00:18:51.000 I said, Let's give him some space.
00:18:52.000 And so, if you notice, in February and March, we laid off Johnson.
00:18:55.000 We didn't really press him that hard because we were told that victories were imminent, that he was going to hold the line at some point.
00:19:03.000 And he delayed and he delayed and he delayed.
00:19:06.000 And it was delay followed by surrender.
00:19:09.000 It was delay followed by capitulation.
00:19:12.000 And what really set me over the edge, now, mind you, we had Speaker Johnson on the program a couple weeks ago, and we were pressing on some stuff, but I was giving him space.
00:19:20.000 I was giving him space because I was rooting for him.
00:19:23.000 I was rooting for Speaker Johnson to deliver home a victory.
00:19:28.000 But for me, I'm a big U.S. Constitution guy.
00:19:31.000 I study it.
00:19:32.000 I read books on it.
00:19:34.000 We discuss it and debate it all the time.
00:19:36.000 Hillsdale College has educated me on the beauty of the U.S. Constitution, on its form, on its structure, how it solves many of the thousand-year-old questions of the classics.
00:19:48.000 It's the greatest experiment in politics that mankind has ever known.
00:19:52.000 It spreads power over space and time.
00:19:55.000 The Constitution was not written for the times.
00:19:57.000 It was written to stand the test of time.
00:20:00.000 The Constitution understands human nature.
00:20:03.000 It addresses human nature in an appropriate way, that human nature is flawed from the beginning.
00:20:09.000 The Bill of Rights, which was effectively inspired by the Virginia Declaration of Rights written by George Mason in 1776, and the Bill of Rights that was then ratified in 1791, is there for a reason.
00:20:19.000 When Mike Johnson went down and he cast the tiebreaking vote to say that the FBI, which abused FISA 278,000 times, 278,000 times in one calendar year that we know of, Mike Johnson said that is perfectly fine.
00:20:37.000 Don't need a warrant.
00:20:39.000 No big deal.
00:20:40.000 I said, you are no longer a Speaker of the House I can support.
00:20:43.000 And I got to be honest, Tim, that saddened me.
00:20:47.000 I was fired up on that show a week ago, and I was heavy.
00:20:54.000 I was burdened by that.
00:20:56.000 And then all of a sudden, Mike Johnson comes out and uses none of the Ukraine enthusiasm leverage to secure the southern border.
00:21:04.000 And time and time and time and time again, Mike Johnson told us, Ryan, I know you need about 20 seconds to get the clip together.
00:21:12.000 Can you get that clip, though, of the Mike Johnson sizzle reel?
00:21:14.000 Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:21:15.000 All the promises he made.
00:21:17.000 I just want to give you guys enough notice here.
00:21:19.000 And Mike Johnson promised, and Mike Johnson promised, and Mike Johnson promised, and Mike Johnson promised.
00:21:25.000 And we were operating under the assumption that Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer wanted Ukraine funding more than anything else.
00:21:34.000 It turns out that is not the case.
00:21:36.000 It turns out that Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer and Mike Johnson wanted Ukraine funding more than anything else.
00:21:43.000 Mike Johnson cared more about foreign abstractions and wars than our own country.
00:21:49.000 This is the montage that went viral yesterday, over a million views on our Twitter X account.
00:21:54.000 Here is Mike Johnson repeatedly telling us no Ukraine funding without border security.
00:22:00.000 He has now capitulated on this promise.
00:22:03.000 We have a word for it.
00:22:04.000 It's called lying.
00:22:05.000 Play Cut 100.
00:22:07.000 Telling all of you, and we've told the American people, border, border, border.
00:22:11.000 We have to effect real policy change at the border, and that is a necessary condition to anything we do going forward.
00:22:17.000 We have to take care of our border first. 0.62
00:22:20.000 That's what the American people demand.
00:22:21.000 Every state in America is now a border state.
00:22:24.000 Border, border, border.
00:22:26.000 How can we be engaged in securing the border of foreign countries if we can't secure our own? 0.97
00:22:31.000 We know the urgency in Ukraine.
00:22:32.000 We're going to stand for freedom and make sure that Vladimir Putin doesn't march through Europe.
00:22:36.000 It's a pastime to secure the border.
00:22:38.000 Listen, this is a catastrophe down here.
00:22:40.000 The battle is for the border.
00:22:42.000 President Biden wants a supplemental spending bill.
00:22:44.000 It better begin by defending America's national security.
00:22:48.000 These are dangerous people who are coming to the country. 1.00
00:22:50.000 Over 300 known terrorists.
00:22:53.000 How can we be engaged in securing the border of foreign countries if we can't secure our own? 0.97
00:22:58.000 How can we be engaged in securing the border of foreign countries if we can't secure our own? 0.97
00:23:02.000 Well, Tim, I'll close your question with this.
00:23:05.000 He just voted for and supported $300 million for the Ukrainian border patrol and none for our border patrol.
00:23:14.000 Thank you, Tim, for being a member.
00:23:15.000 Really appreciate it.
00:23:15.000 Members.charlikirk.com.
00:23:17.000 Amy is next.
00:23:18.000 Amy, thank you so much for being a member.
00:23:20.000 What is on your mind?
00:23:22.000 Hey, Charlie, thank you so much for the time here.
00:23:24.000 It's great to ask you a question and so glad that you opened up this opportunity.
00:23:28.000 Of course.
00:23:29.000 So last year in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, you were the headliner at De Spring Christian Academy's Remember America Series.
00:23:36.000 And it was awesome.
00:23:37.000 We were there.
00:23:38.000 And this year, tomorrow, Tucker Carlson is the headliner.
00:23:42.000 So my question is, with all of his influence and the many ways that he has impacted the conservative movement, how exactly can you describe how significant this is in shifting the Overton window?
00:23:53.000 Oh, yeah.
00:23:54.000 I mean, first of all, I'm a huge Tucker fan.
00:23:57.000 I think that the more people hear from Tucker Carlson, the more that the Overton window moves and the conservative movement is really enriched.
00:24:07.000 I'll tell you, Tucker just did a three-hour sit-down interview with Joe Rogan.
00:24:11.000 I know what I'm listening to on the Shabbat.
00:24:13.000 I'm going to be listening to Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan sit down for three hours.
00:24:17.000 I turn off all my phone and my devices, but we have a Spotify app on our television.
00:24:20.000 I am going to play that.
00:24:22.000 I love Tucker.
00:24:23.000 He's super smart.
00:24:24.000 He's winsome.
00:24:25.000 He's wise.
00:24:26.000 He's an incredible communicator.
00:24:27.000 I think he's the greatest pro-American communicator alive.
00:24:31.000 I believe that.
00:24:32.000 Without a doubt, I think Tucker Carlson is the best at presenting our ideas.
00:24:35.000 He's a decent man.
00:24:36.000 He's loyally married.
00:24:37.000 He's a Christian man.
00:24:38.000 I wanted Tucker to be vice president for Donald Trump for just those reasons.
00:24:42.000 And I love that Tucker Carlson is traveling the country, speaking to people, learning.
00:24:48.000 He loves to learn.
00:24:49.000 I'll say Tucker Carlson and Dennis Prager are the two happiest people in the conservative movement.
00:24:56.000 I'm not to say that other people are necessarily unhappy.
00:24:59.000 There are some unhappy people.
00:25:00.000 But Tucker Carlson and Dennis Prager, you'll see this tomorrow.
00:25:03.000 He's just a happy, joyful person.
00:25:05.000 Tucker and Dennis are the two happiest people in the conservative movement.
00:25:10.000 And one is a religious Jew, one is a very religious Christian.
00:25:13.000 I think that has a lot to do with it.
00:25:15.000 But one thing, spending a lot of time around Dennis and a lot of time around Tucker and really being friends with them both, they're unbelievably curious and grateful.
00:25:25.000 Those are the two things that I found as to why that they're able to remain so happy.
00:25:29.000 They love learning about people.
00:25:31.000 When they meet somebody, tell me about yourself.
00:25:32.000 Where are you from?
00:25:34.000 They're infinitely interested in trying to understand how things work and understand what they might be missing.
00:25:43.000 So love that Tucker is coming to Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
00:25:47.000 Great folks.
00:25:47.000 And we need Lancaster to show up in big numbers this November.
00:25:51.000 So thank you so much, Amy, for your support.
00:25:53.000 God bless you.
00:25:54.000 Thank you.
00:25:54.000 We're working on it.
00:25:55.000 Thank you.
00:25:56.000 All right.
00:25:56.000 Yes.
00:25:57.000 Let's go to Jesslyn.
00:25:59.000 Jessalyn, thank you for your support.
00:26:00.000 How are you?
00:26:02.000 Hey, great.
00:26:03.000 Good to hear from you.
00:26:04.000 And Charlie, I really appreciate this members speak up that we can ask questions.
00:26:11.000 We follow you heavily.
00:26:12.000 A lot of us are on the ground.
00:26:13.000 A lot of us are knocking on doors and we have walking lists.
00:26:16.000 But what's a good door opener?
00:26:17.000 Because a lot of, it's kind of like there's three Democrats running for office for the presidential office because President Trump was a Democrat, JFK was a Democrat, and of course Biden.
00:26:30.000 So how do we open the door to visit with people and just not, how would you all, how do you all find it helpful?
00:26:37.000 And what days of the week and hours of the day do you find best for Arizona?
00:26:41.000 Great questions.
00:26:42.000 So I've knocked on over 100,000 doors in my political career.
00:26:47.000 I did a ton in Chicago, just a ton of door knocking.
00:26:51.000 And first of all, you don't want, you want to try to knock on weekends.
00:26:54.000 That's the best time.
00:26:55.000 I wouldn't try to knock on in the morning in the middle of the day.
00:26:57.000 People get upset about that.
00:26:58.000 Knock on weekends around like 11 to 2.
00:27:02.000 And when you're knocking on the door, you first just want to ask them questions.
00:27:05.000 Hey, how you doing?
00:27:06.000 I know that you're probably super busy.
00:27:08.000 Can I just have 30 seconds of your time?
00:27:10.000 And that face-to-face type interaction, it matters.
00:27:12.000 In fact, we believe that doors win wars as far as political wars, right?
00:27:18.000 Metaphorical media matters.
00:27:20.000 And so you knocking on doors, you doing that is so important, Jesslyn.
00:27:24.000 And Jessica, I just want to say we need hundreds of thousands of door knockers this fall.
00:27:30.000 We need hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
00:27:33.000 And that is why we have the Turning Point app, TP Action.
00:27:37.000 You guys can download it into the App Store.
00:27:40.000 And I'll explain more after the break.
00:27:42.000 Jesslyn, thank you so much, and thank you for being a member.
00:27:44.000 Thank you.
00:27:48.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:27:49.000 I talked to you about how horrible nutrition has become for people in our ultra-processed food society.
00:27:54.000 Truth is, it's even worse for our beloved dogs.
00:27:57.000 Seeing dog food lately, it's more like dead food.
00:27:59.000 Mr. Briggs is our best friend, and the more adventurous we are, I've realized that food is the most important thing ensuring he's healthy.
00:28:06.000 Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black has invested everything into bringing our dog's food to life.
00:28:10.000 He created rough greens, not dog food.
00:28:12.000 It's a natural supplement to your dog's existing food, full of essential vitamins and minerals and made right here in America.
00:28:18.000 You don't have to change your dog's food.
00:28:20.000 Just adding rough greens to their existing diet will be the best decision you ever made to improve their life.
00:28:26.000 Mr. Briggs has more energy, plays longer, and is overall the best version of himself.
00:28:31.000 Dr. Black is so confident that this will change your dog's life, he is providing a free jumpstart trial bag so your dog can try it.
00:28:39.000 You just cover the shipping.
00:28:40.000 Head to roughgreens.com/slash Kirk.
00:28:42.000 That is R-U-F-F-Greens.com/slash Kirk.
00:28:45.000 Go to roughgreens.com/slash Kirk to grab yours today, roughgreens.com/slash Kirk.
00:28:52.000 Scott says, Charlie, what is the best way to financially support candidates?
00:28:55.000 You've highlighted how bad the RNC is.
00:28:57.000 The RNC is better now.
00:28:58.000 I want to say they're in a much better spot.
00:29:00.000 Chris La Savita, Michael Watley, Laura Trump, they're doing a great job.
00:29:03.000 They're doing a much better job.
00:29:05.000 In fact, I really like what they're doing.
00:29:06.000 Great pace, spirit, and plan.
00:29:10.000 I really like what they're doing now, and now that the Rana regime has been displaced, very supportive of the RNC in its current form. 0.66
00:29:17.000 When I get an email or text from a candidate, I support Michael Lear Trump, for example, the website says that the money will go to Win Red.
00:29:24.000 Is that an RNC website?
00:29:25.000 I've received texts that appear to be from the Trump campaign, but when I get to the bottom of the website, it says paid for by WinRed, not authorized by any candidate committee.
00:29:33.000 My mic isn't working, so I can't ask the question live.
00:29:35.000 Yes, so look, I just want to say Win Red is not technically from the RNC.
00:29:39.000 I'm not going to get into WinRed.
00:29:41.000 I know the people that run it.
00:29:42.000 I don't want to speak negatively of them.
00:29:43.000 But if you don't want your information possibly sold to other candidates or shared other candidates, here's the best way you could do it: send in a physical check.
00:29:52.000 Send in a physical check to the candidate's P.O. box or the address on their website.
00:29:59.000 That is an ironclad way that you are guaranteed that that money goes to them.
00:30:05.000 It doesn't go to any of the processing fees.
00:30:06.000 So that is what I would say: send in a check.
00:30:10.000 Michael is also a member, members.charliekirk.com.
00:30:13.000 I can't talk at work.
00:30:15.000 Can you drop a contact for the ballot harvesting GOTV drives in Michigan, Wisconsin, the chat?
00:30:19.000 I want to help after the primary.
00:30:20.000 I'm not sure who to reach out to.
00:30:21.000 Yes.
00:30:22.000 And big news today, I want to repeat the news.
00:30:25.000 At Turning Point Action, we are now officially expanding our historic ballot chasing army to Michigan.
00:30:36.000 We are now going to Michigan, everybody.
00:30:38.000 We are now going to Michigan.
00:30:40.000 It's Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:30:43.000 And we're now playing around with Georgia.
00:30:46.000 Georgia's looking better and better.
00:30:48.000 And we want to try to spread out our bets between Michigan and Wisconsin.
00:30:55.000 Michael, we'll send you that contact, tpaction.com.
00:30:59.000 And I can guarantee you now, now that Michigan is in play, now that Michigan is a legit swing state with Donald Trump up in the polls and RFK is on the ballot, I can tell you where I am going to be on November 2nd.
00:31:18.000 I will be in Ann Arbor because the Ducks of Oregon are visiting the big house at University of Michigan.
00:31:26.000 So, not only can I go see Oregon play in the big house and hopefully defeat the Michigan Wolverines, but I can campaign and make the most of it.
00:31:36.000 We'll probably do some sort of a tailgate event beforehand.
00:31:38.000 I won't wear any of my organ stuff.
00:31:39.000 I'll probably get run out of town.
00:31:42.000 And so, I'm going to be in Michigan definitely.
00:31:46.000 We'll probably be doing a crazy campaign swing the weekend before the election.
00:31:51.000 But remember, that's just counting day.
00:31:53.000 There's counting day and voting month.
00:31:56.000 So, I'm super thrilled at the progress that Turning Point Action is making.
00:32:00.000 The entire team, this morning, I met with Tyler.
00:32:02.000 I said, approved.
00:32:04.000 Expansion into Michigan.
00:32:05.000 Do it.
00:32:06.000 Hire it.
00:32:07.000 Invest.
00:32:07.000 Let's go.
00:32:08.000 Time to win.
00:32:09.000 Big news today out of Turning Point Action.
00:32:11.000 We're expanding into Michigan.
00:32:15.000 Let's go here.
00:32:18.000 Last question here is from George.
00:32:21.000 George says, Charlie, what book are you currently reading?
00:32:25.000 And tell me more about that.
00:32:26.000 So I'm actually, I want to make sure I get the title right because it's, yeah, that's right.
00:32:31.000 Okay.
00:32:31.000 It is called The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer.
00:32:34.000 What a terrific book that is.
00:32:36.000 And he makes the argument that it's not enough for most Christians to just give your life to Christ, but you have to be in the constant pursuit of God, to wake up every day eager to dig into the word of God.
00:32:51.000 And he does an amazing job talking about how to actively pursue God in all the things that you do.
00:32:58.000 And that really is a fulfillment of Deuteronomy 3:5.
00:33:02.000 Love the Lord your God.
00:33:03.000 Well, it first says, Hero Israel, I am the Lord your God.
00:33:06.000 I am one, which is the triumphant statement of monotheism that echoes throughout the scriptures.
00:33:14.000 I am the Lord your God.
00:33:15.000 I am one.
00:33:16.000 And then it goes on to say, I am the Lord your God who delivered you from Egypt. 0.97
00:33:21.000 No, I'm sorry, that's a different verse.
00:33:22.000 It says, then love the Lord your God with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind.
00:33:27.000 To actively pursue God, as it talks about in the book by A.W. Tozer, desiring God, the pursuit of God, means that your entire fiber of your being must be configured towards the Almighty and the divine.
00:33:42.000 If you want to get closer to God, you can get closer to God.
00:33:45.000 And that is the most amazing takeaway: if you make it a priority, you can go closer to the divine.
