00:02:30.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:05:31.000I mean, he's not happy about it, but the way he views the world is that he looks at the world as an opportunity to spin the negative towards the positive.
00:05:40.000This is Donald Trump doing the Tic-Tac routine.
00:08:30.000You see, the Democrats have spent tens of millions of dollars and have sophisticated and superior machinery.
00:08:42.000And that machinery involves full-time ballot chasers on the ground, full-time voter registrators on the ground, full-time community operatives on the ground.
00:08:51.000And it's very hard to raise that kind of money.
00:08:54.000We're doing our best at Turning Point Action, TPAction.com.
00:08:58.000However, if we have a volunteer force that works our tail off, if we have a volunteer army, we can close that gap.
00:09:09.000And it starts with every single one of you.
00:09:11.000How many voters did you register in the last week?
00:09:14.000How many people were you able to find and to get on the voter rolls?

00:11:22.000Josiah says, Charlie, I would like to know your take on expectations since listening to Dennis Prager on this topic.
00:11:29.000I've often wondered how that relates to political decisions that seem out of our control.
00:11:34.000I've enjoyed listening to all of your shows over the last five years, and I'm grateful for the members' experience you've created.
00:11:39.000Well, we're going to get the experience is going to get even better as we continue to build out the website and do all sorts of different things.
00:11:59.000So, Dennis Prager writes in his happiness book.
00:12:02.000The book is called Happiness is a Serious Problem.
00:12:05.000Dennis Prager says he learned from a Buddhist that you must keep your expectations at nothing, at zero.
00:12:12.000So, for example, if you are about to go on vacation and you have a picture in your mind that the vacation is going to be perfect, that the flight will be tranquil and you will get there early and it will be sunny and you'll get to the resort and you'll check into your hotel room and you'll be relaxed and your family will love it.
00:12:35.000If that is the picture you have in your mind, and then you wake up and the flight is delayed five hours and the airport is packed and you have to eat that crummy airport food and you finally depart and then you land and it's rainy when you get there and the hotel doesn't have your room ready and you're not feeling very well.
00:12:57.000You're willing to consider that entire experience a failure as just awful because you had very, very high expectations.
00:13:08.000So Dennis believes that you could become a happier person by starting off with no expectations, zero expectations.
00:13:16.000So on that vacation, just saying, I have no expectation for this to be wonderful or terrific, I'm entering with nothing.
00:13:23.000And it's actually, it does create a happier person because you don't get your hopes up necessarily and you keep your expectations down.
00:13:30.000I try to do the same thing in politics too, and that's your question there, Josiah.
00:13:34.000I think it's very important, though, that even though that like screwed up vacation, that theoretical situation that I'm putting forward would be very lackluster and not enjoyable, you have a choice of what you do with it.
00:14:18.000You get to choose how you act and more importantly, how you react and how you make sense of those situations.
00:14:27.000And so, for example, if you have a flight delayed, you can look at that as a terrible thing, or you have more time to listen to your favorite podcast.
00:14:37.000You have more time to walk around the airport and get two miles of steps in.
00:14:40.000That is a conscious decision that you make of how you are going to react to something that is lackluster.
00:14:48.000So, Dennis Prager writes in his book, Happiness is a Serious Problem, which I recommend to all of you.
00:14:52.000It's a terrific book, that expectations and gratitude are the two most important things to happiness.
00:14:58.000That keeping your expectations to zero, and then when something good happens, you are more likely than to be thankful because you had no expectations.
00:15:07.000And you cannot be happy if you are ungrateful.
00:15:12.000That has never happened in the history of the world.
00:15:14.000There's never been a happy person who is also not grateful.
00:15:18.000The two happiest people in conservative media is Tucker Carlson and Dennis Prager.
00:15:24.000Would you agree Tucker's up there, Andrew?
00:15:30.000The two things that Tucker and Dennis have in common, they're incredibly grateful, but they're remarkably curious about their surroundings.
00:16:04.000A lot of emails here, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:16:07.000If you are a member, you can ask us questions.
00:16:08.000I want to get to this one question here, but it ties into a previous question we had about our event.
00:16:13.000And I want to highlight an NPR article.
00:16:15.000That's right, National Public Radio article that says the following.
00:16:20.000After two years, Trump returns to Arizona with a new partner in campaigning.
00:16:24.000On Thursday, Trump held a town hall event sponsored by Turning Point Action, which focuses on mobilizing young conservatives at Dream City Church.
00:16:31.000To a chanting crowd of thousands, Trump vowed to make his voter mobilization efforts too big to rig.
00:16:38.000Continues, the event underscores a new campaign tactic, directly using outside organizations to lead canvassing efforts to turn out voters.
00:16:46.000Trump's presence in the state, his first this cycle, is seen as an endorsement of Turning Point's new Chase the Vote initiative.
00:16:53.000The town hall also comes days after the Trump campaign and the RNC committee announced a swamp the vote initiative.
00:16:59.000And by the way, we also now have Michael Watley speaking in Detroit, Chairman Watley of the RNC.
00:17:51.000It's a real, really a base motivational visit to make sure the people in Arizona, his team in Arizona, knows that he cares, Chuck Coughlin says.
00:17:57.000They've got to feel his confidence in order to be mobilized and engage this cycle.
00:18:15.000Stepping into a void, into part of that void is turning point action.
00:18:18.000Speaking at Dream City Church, Kirk called on supporters to convince their fellow conservatives to turn out to vote, blaming low turnout and mobilization and recent state losses for the party.
00:18:38.000The group is working to create an organizing effort to support Trump in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
00:18:43.000Their goal is to raise $100 million and hire ballot chasers to doorknock, canvas, register voters, and encourage people to vote, whether it's in person or by mail.
00:18:50.000So far, they've raised tens of millions of dollars, have hired hundreds of staff, and are onboarding 20 to 40 new staffers every week, according to Andrew Colvette.
00:18:57.000But there is one quote I want to make sure I hit here.
00:19:01.000It's the end quote, which is my favorite one at this piece, which is, it is the organizational ability that doesn't exist a cycle inside the GOP.
00:19:09.000And Turning Point is presenting themselves as an alternative organizational front to be able to do those voter ID and turnout activities.
00:19:16.000When thinking about an 11,000 vote margin, Trump lost by last cycle.
00:19:20.000Colvett believes his efforts could make the difference this time.
00:19:22.000Quote, Turning Point seems to be a place where it can marshal resources and human assets to help a campaign, whereas the GOP is not.
00:21:37.000We have a big announcement from the People's Convention where we're going to bring this back up to the surface.
00:21:42.000We have not kept, just so you know, we have not lost focus on it.
00:21:45.000It's not like we've been keeping on it every single day.
00:21:48.000It's just a matter of we wanted to allow them to have some breathing room and a breathing period, especially some of their lawmakers are in Ukraine.
00:21:55.000Some of the lawmakers are literally in Ukraine.
00:21:58.000Charlie, what should I say to people in my life who clearly haven't looked into the Trump trials and think they're holier than now for quote not voting for a felon?
00:22:06.000How to explain the trial to someone who clearly thinks they know everything about it?
00:22:11.000Well, first, you need to talk about this question of, wait a second.
00:22:15.000So why would you not vote for somebody who has been a victim of a show trial?
00:22:58.000So in New York, Andrew Cuomo signed a law, and people don't know this.
00:23:06.000As he was outgoing as governor, he signed a bill into law that extended the statute of limitations to six years and 47 days, basically expanding the window and saying, no, the statute of limitations is no longer five days.
00:23:27.000Obviously, trying to give the local Manhattan district attorneys more of an opportunity to be able to go after Trump.
00:23:35.000To give you an idea of how pernicious this is, I have to read this.
00:23:40.000Is that Trump's lawyers moved to dismiss the case based on the statute of limitations?
00:23:46.000But Judge Murshon rejected the argument.
00:23:48.000In a pretrial decision, the judge said the pandemic extension stretched out the deadline for the prosecution by one year and 47 days.
00:23:57.000In other words, this felony prosecution had to be commenced within six years and 47 days from when the crimes were allegedly committed.
00:24:04.000From when Alvin Bragg filed the charges, it was only days away from expiring under the statute of limitations.
00:24:11.000New York is the only state in the country that I know of that expanded their statute of limitations because of COVID, allowing the government more leeway to claw back to older, quote-unquote, crimes to give the government more money.
00:24:24.000This was done only to try to go after Donald Trump.
00:24:46.000But you should also ask those holier-than-thou family members, why would they vote for an unconvicted felon named Joe Biden?
00:24:54.000Ask them seriously: who has done more damage to the country?
00:25:00.000Who has actually, in their life and in their business dealings, done worse, Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
00:25:10.000It's a very serious question, which is Joe Biden peddled foreign influence for cash via the Chinese Communist Party and foreign governments via his son.
00:25:21.000Donald Trump got convicted in a Moscow show trial for 34 counts for a business records dispute, falsifying business records.
00:25:33.000Jessica, who is a member, says, Charlie, level with me.
00:25:36.000I'm a huge Trump supporter, but I find it's hard not to feel defeated.
00:25:39.000It's everywhere I turn, we're losing, and social media is full of liberals gloating they finally got Trump.
00:27:22.000It is the only one of the Ten Commandments that is different in Deuteronomy when it is repeated after Exodus.
00:27:31.000In Exodus 20, the Ten Commandments are there, and the Shabbat is mentioned in Exodus 20.
00:27:36.000And then it's repeated in Deuteronomy, but it's a little bit different.
00:27:40.000So in Exodus 20, when the decalogue was given down to Moses, the Ten Commandments, remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
00:27:51.000Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day to the Lord your God.
00:27:55.000On it you shall do no work, neither you nor your son or daughter or male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.
00:28:02.000By the way, that is, animals get a shout out in the Ten Commandments.
