00:01:32.000 Okay, let's start with Ella.

00:01:33.000 Ella, thank you for being a member.

00:01:34.000 Ella cannot unmute herself because she is at work, and I appreciate that.

00:01:39.000 Charlie, I can't unmute, so if you have time at the end for my question, I would appreciate it.

00:01:43.000 Well, Ella, we're actually doing it at the beginning.

00:01:45.000 I've been in the workforce for about six years now.

00:01:48.000 And I've always been in the marketing field.

00:01:49.000 I've always been a conservative.

00:01:51.000 But in the past year or so, I've really tried to do my homework and look at the issues our country faces and make sure I understand what's going on.

00:01:58.000 I'm realizing that in my current role and roles in the past, I've almost had to fake being a liberal in order to do my job and get along with co-workers.

00:02:08.000 What advice do you have for those of us who are experiencing this?

00:02:11.000 I just want to do my job and stay true to myself and my values, but I feel like the job pool gets smaller and smaller the more I stand for and stay true to my values and beliefs.

00:02:19.000 Okay, so let's first say you're in a tough position, Ella.

00:02:23.000 You believe certain things, you have a worldview, you have deeply held values, you have strong values, and they're inconsistent with where you currently work.

00:02:31.000 Here's my only piece of advice, which is, if you have to fake being somebody that you are not, then you are lying.

00:02:39.000 And it is not right to lie.

00:02:40.000 There's only very few circumstances where I could say that it is okay to lie.

00:02:44.000 For example, if the secret police knock on your door and they say, are you hiding Jews?

00:02:48.000 It's okay to say, no, you're not hiding Jews, even though you are. 0.97

00:02:51.000 Okay.

00:02:52.000 But to fake being a liberal at a job, that does more damage to your soul and to your being then I think you even realize.

00:03:03.000 So you have a couple options.

00:03:04.000 Number one, you can say you're a conservative and stand up for

00:03:07.000 yourself regardless of the peer pressure.

00:03:09.000 And if they fire you, they fire you.

00:03:11.000 Number two, go find a new job.

00:03:13.000 You could try to be silent and you could try to dodge and avoid, but based on

00:03:16.000 your question, they basically make you believe what you do not believe.

00:03:22.000 They force the question, which of course is the natural extension of liberalism.

00:03:27.000 Liberalism will lead towards totalitarianism, always.

00:03:31.000 Liberalism is about opening up society.

00:03:34.000 It is about opening up previous norms and customs, which then leads to smaller and smaller groups of people in oligarchy, a combined dictatorship that then can rule the rest of the country.

00:03:47.000 And they do this on the micro and they do this on the macro.

00:03:50.000 So Ella, you're in a tough spot.

00:03:52.000 I don't know where you live, but I could tell you that there are millions of small business owners that are conservative, that are liberty-minded, that would love to employ you.

00:04:01.000 So what advice do you have for those of us that are experiencing this?

00:04:03.000 I just want to do my job and stay true to myself and my values, but I feel like the job pool gets smaller and smaller.

00:04:07.000 You're going to have to probably find a job that is consistent with your values or stand up for yourself.

00:04:12.000 And if they fire you, they fire you.

00:04:13.000 There's worse things in the world than being fired.

00:04:15.000 And I believe worse than being fired is living a lie.

00:04:19.000 I know that's tough, Ella.

00:04:20.000 And here to support you, thank you for being a member.

00:04:22.000 Okay, let's go to Andrew.

00:04:24.000 Andrew is a live caller.

00:04:26.000 Andrew, thank you for being a member.

00:04:28.000 Andrew, make sure you unmute yourself.

00:04:31.000 Andrew, what's on your mind?

00:04:32.000 Hey, Charlie.

00:04:33.000 For context, I'm an attorney here in Indiana, and I run a Facebook group called Integrity in Elections.

00:04:39.000 Just from the last election, the great job that TP Action and people like Scott Pressler have done, we know Republicans are going to be winning most, if not all, the swing states.

00:04:50.000 And both were president in the Senate races by midnight on election night.

00:04:55.000 But what's going on on the front to help prevent Democrats from shipping in whatever number of votes they feel like they need to count more than we have by our legitimate means?

00:05:07.000 I really want to help make a difference.

00:05:10.000 Well, first, Andrew, thank you for your being a member.

00:05:13.000 Secondly, I love that you're involved and you want to be doing things on the ground.

00:05:17.000 That's very important.

00:05:18.000 It's important to be a participant, not a spectator.

00:05:21.000 Thirdly, thank you for your kind words.

00:05:23.000 I hope that we'll be winning in these battleground states by midnight.

00:05:27.000 We are working our tail off.

00:05:29.000 We're seeing a lot of good stuff on the ground.

00:05:30.000 It feels better on the ground than it did two weeks ago.

00:05:32.000 I can tell you right now, it feels much better on the ground than it did two weeks ago.

00:05:35.000 I think the honeymoon period is largely ending for Kamala Harris.

00:05:40.000 To be perfectly honest, the RNC is doing a good amount, the campaign is doing enough, but we as a general movement have not done enough to secure our elections.

00:05:49.000 And I just want to put an asterisk on it, that we will not have 100% secure elections going into this cycle.

00:05:55.000 We will not.

00:05:57.000 We will have better elections because of certain things, but there still are so many problems with signature verification, so many problems with dirty voter rolls, so many problems with voting month.

00:06:09.000 There's no guarantee.

00:06:10.000 We will have poll watchers.

00:06:12.000 The number one thing that can happen right now, and to the RNC's credit, they did this in Nevada, and Michael Whatley's doing a good job on this, which is we need to sue regarding the voting rolls.

00:06:22.000 We need to sue after the voter rolls and clean up dirty voter rolls. 1.00

00:06:27.000 Here's the equation, is when you have dirty voter rolls, Then they base the mail-in ballots off of the voter rolls.

00:06:34.000 So if you have voter rolls that are corrupted and voter rolls that need to be cleaned, well then you have a list of ballots that get sent out.

00:06:43.000 So then you have an oversupply of ballots, many of which are dirty ballots, but they seem as if they're legit.

00:06:48.000 And then they get filled out erroneously, they get filled out illegitimately, and they get sent into the voting center.

00:06:56.000 And then it is indistinguishable between a real ballot and a ballot that got filled out incorrectly.

00:07:02.000 So then once the ballot leaves the envelope, there is no ability to be able to see the difference, to differentiate if you are the vote counter or the vote processor, because it goes back to the original sin, which is corrupted voter rolls.

00:07:16.000 So that is where the RNC is spending a lot of their time.

00:07:18.000 I think that is necessary.

00:07:19.000 We need to remove hundreds of thousands of dead and moved and transient voters, at the very least. 1.00

00:07:26.000 So, Andrew, thank you for being involved.

00:07:28.000 Love it.

00:07:28.000 I really appreciate it.

00:07:29.000 Thank you.

00:07:30.000 Natalie is next.

00:07:31.000 Natalie, make sure you unmute yourself.

00:07:33.000 Natalie, thank you for being a member.

00:07:35.000 What is on your mind?

00:07:37.000 Hey Charlie, big fan.

00:07:38.000 I know you and the Turning Point Action team and other podcasters like Dan Bongino keep saying to vote early in case they pull shenanigans on election day, but my question is, and a lot of people keep asking me this in my circle, how do we know that they're not just going to throw away the Trump ballots that come in early and cheat that way?

00:07:58.000 Do you, on the inside, do you have confidence that the early votes will definitely be counted?

00:08:03.000 Well, I don't necessarily.

00:08:04.000 I do want to be clear, though, that if you vote early, the ballots are not counted until Election Day.

00:08:13.000 So that's an important thing.

00:08:14.000 They're not counted in advance, so they will not necessarily be able to tell which votes are which.

00:08:19.000 Number two, you can vote in person, so then those votes get logged and they're not corrupted.

00:08:25.000 But yes, theoretically, people could throw away ballots and people could throw things away.

00:08:30.000 However, we do want to be very clear that in Florida, for example, we've embraced early voting and we've taken over the entire state of Florida.

00:08:40.000 Now, there are some states where they do pre-canvassing.

00:08:42.000 In Pennsylvania, they do not count ballots early and they do not do pre-canvassing.

00:08:48.000 Is it a perfect solution to be able to vote early?

00:08:51.000 Well, that's where poll watching works in and poll working goes in at the voting center itself, which is we need to make sure that ballots are not being destroyed and ballots are not being discarded just because they are Trump ballots.

00:09:02.000 And so I can't give you 100% certainty, Natalie, because at some point you have to have some trust in the system that the system will actually work.

00:09:11.000 But if the response and the argument is, hey, don't vote early because they might throw your vote away, I think that's a weak argument.

00:09:18.000 Now, I want to be clear.

00:09:19.000 If you are OK standing in line for a couple of hours, If you're okay standing in line for a couple hours, go vote on Election Day.

00:09:29.000 Be ready for it.

00:09:30.000 You'll probably end up voting.

00:09:31.000 That's fine.

00:09:32.000 But we should advertise a culture of early voting, especially if you are a lower likely voter.

00:09:40.000 If you are a lower likely voter, otherwise known as a lower propensity voter, we need to make sure you vote early in the system because the chances you show up on Election Day are very low.

00:09:52.000 Okay, and by the way, the easiest way to throw away the election is to not vote at all.

00:09:56.000 And I know you agree with that, Natalie.

00:09:57.000 I hope that helps.

00:09:58.000 I want to be very clear.

00:09:59.000 There is no reason or no excuse not to vote.

00:10:03.000 Some people say, oh, I'm not going to vote.

00:10:04.000 It's a waste of time.

00:10:05.000 It takes five minutes, guys.

00:10:07.000 You should be shamed if that is your answer.

00:10:13.000 Alright, I need to tell you guys about StrongCell.

00:10:15.000 It's amazing.

00:10:16.000 With nearly a million units bought by you, it is more clear than ever that StrongCell works.

00:10:23.000 It works to combat fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and constant sickness.

00:10:28.000 I've been taking it personally for over a year now, and it's changed my life.

00:10:31.000 I take it in the morning with breakfast, and it helps with natural energy, so I don't have that afternoon crash.

00:10:36.000 And it gives me the clarity of mind to do all that I do every day, which is a lot.

00:10:40.000 If you're tired of feeling tired, struggling with memory, or constantly getting sick, then you have to give StrongCell a try.

00:10:47.000 I love this product because it has NAD.

00:10:49.000 By the way, fact check me on this.

00:10:51.000 Go do your own research on NADH, especially if it's mixed with CoQ10 and Marine Collagen.

00:10:56.000 StrongCell uses a proprietary delivery of NADH to make sure it goes straight to your cells to help your mitochondria.

00:11:04.000 And since there are cells in every area of your body, then healthier cells equals a healthier you.

00:11:10.000 The amount of people that use StrongCell now, thanks to us, is remarkable.

00:11:12.000 Over 1 million units sold.

00:11:15.000 Don't take my word for it.

00:11:16.000 Do your own research.

00:11:17.000 Check it out.

00:11:18.000 Fact check me.

00:11:19.000 Oh, Charlie's just selling me a product.

00:11:21.000 Maybe you don't want more mental acuity.

00:11:21.000 Okay.

00:11:23.000 People say, Charlie, how do you do what you do?

00:11:25.000 Maybe it's the NAD that I take. It's changed the lives of many Kirk listeners.

00:12:14.000 If you are a member, you can ask me questions directly all hour.

00:12:17.000 That is members.charliekirk.com.

00:12:19.000 Lisa, thank you for being a member.

00:12:20.000 What is on your mind?

00:12:22.000 Hi Charlie.

00:12:23.000 So John Adams says our Constitution was made only for a Moral and religious people, it's wholly inadequate to go to the government of any other.

00:12:34.000 You've mentioned that several times.

00:12:35.000 I believe our forefathers when they added the freedom of religion to the 1st Amendment by religion that they meant the various Judeo Christian denominations in a recent post.

00:12:46.000 You shared.

00:12:47.000 You cite the original state constitutions before we were the United States as requiring a statement of faith.

00:12:54.000 Most were Protestant, one was Catholic.

00:12:57.000 Our Constitution draws from Deuteronomy more than any other singular book.

00:13:02.000 I do not believe it was ever intended for one of these United States to do as Minnesota has done and authorize the Islamic call to prayer five times a day.

00:13:12.000 My question is, do you think we need a constitutional amendment to clarify that?

00:13:17.000 Well, that's a good question.

00:13:19.000 Probably not a constitutional amendment.

00:13:20.000 I think this is more of an immigration question.

00:13:22.000 First of all, thank you for being a member.

00:13:24.000 Very smart.

00:13:25.000 You know your stuff and you listen intently.

00:13:27.000 Thank you.

00:13:28.000 So, you're exactly right.

00:13:29.000 This is the death of America via pluralism.

00:13:35.000 Which is, we are a very tolerant and open-minded people, so we import people from all over the world, and sometimes they have hideous worldviews, and they have insidious ideologies.

00:13:44.000 I mean, you look at Ilhan Omar, her worldview is awful. 0.94

00:13:48.000 Ilhan Omar is filled with ingratitude.

00:13:50.000 She's a Somali Muslim who just won re-election in her primary, and the Muslim call to prayer is there.

00:13:56.000 And is that what the Founding Fathers intended when they thought of religious liberty, religious freedom?

00:14:02.000 And this is a very important point because it actually is more about what we are bringing to the homeland, more so than the First Amendment.

00:14:10.000 And I'm not one that wants to try to grow the government to police, you know, other people's personal religious practices.

00:14:16.000 But we must look at the fruit of what our actual immigration policies are generating.

00:14:22.000 And that's number one.

00:14:23.000 Number two, I think that it's very clear that if If we are fostering a secular society, which we are, and there's this non-stop war on Christianity and war on religion, and meanwhile, Islam gets a complete pass for a lot of the brutalism, the cruelty, for the extremism, and for the radicalism that occurs here in this country. 0.94

00:14:50.000 And especially when it comes to Islamic views on Western values, on women voting, even women driving. 0.80

00:14:59.000 You have to wonder, is it really compatible with Western civilization?

00:15:02.000 And you see that bubbling up even more immediately in the United Kingdom right now.

00:15:09.000 In the United Kingdom right now, you have the Mohammedans that have come into the United Kingdom because they were invited by the Wokies or by the Liberals. 1.00

00:15:20.000 The Conservatives, not the Conservative Party, but the actual Conservatives did nothing, did nothing.

00:15:24.000 And so then you have whoever has the biggest sword will end up taking over the country, end up taking over the civilization.

00:15:31.000 And Islam is literally all about the sword. 1.00

00:15:34.000 It's about conquering.

00:15:35.000 It's about conquest.

00:15:36.000 It's about absorbing.

00:15:38.000 It's about taking over.

00:15:39.000 And they're very, very good at it.

00:15:41.000 And it's about mass repopulation and having more babies and replacing the indigenous population with a Mohammedan one, which is exactly what is occurring across Europe right now. 1.00

00:15:54.000 And it's chilling and scary and it could happen here.

00:15:58.000 Thankfully, we don't have the same sort of numbers or the proximity to the Middle East where it's not occurring here. 0.93

00:16:03.000 But you bring up a very important point here in closing as we have closed out the segment, which is the tension.

00:16:09.000 And this is the most provocative question that can be asked in regards to the Constitution, which is if John Adams was right, and he says the Constitution was written only and solely for a moral and religious people, what happens when the people are no longer moral and religious?

00:16:28.000 Is the Constitution Still feasible.

00:16:33.000 It's the Constitution, it's the law of the land.

00:16:35.000 And that's why I think that John Adams quote is so important.

00:16:38.000 Because people say, Charlie, why are we living in a post-constitutional order?

00:16:41.000 We don't have a president, we have an administrative state, we have bureaucrats that run the entire nation. 0.54

00:16:46.000 How did this happen?

00:16:47.000 It goes back to that John Adams quote, because he understood that obviously better than anybody else.

00:16:50.000 He was one of the founding fathers.

00:16:51.000 He didn't write the Constitution, but he was part of that kind of founding generation, studied it closely, understood it.

00:16:57.000 So when the people fail to be moral and religious, when people fail to have a belief in the divine or the internal or a transcendent authority or a transcendent standard, when that no longer exists, then can you live in a constitutional republic?

00:17:15.000 And that is why we've always said that we must win the election to buy us time because long-term the Constitution will no longer be our system, our form, or our structure of government.

00:17:25.000 If there is not a religious and a moral revival.

00:17:29.000 You cannot have liberty if people do not cherish liberty as a value.

00:17:33.000 You cannot have liberty if you have Muhammadism or you have secularism or atheism dominate the West. 1.00

00:17:45.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:18:34.000 Let's go to Nathaniel.

00:18:35.000 Nathaniel, thank you for being a member.

00:18:36.000 Nathaniel, what is on your mind?

00:18:37.000 Hey, so just a question for you regarding this upcoming elections.

00:18:39.000 at MyPillow.com. Check it out right now. Wonderful organization. MyPillow.com.

00:18:44.000 Let's go to Nathaniel. Nathaniel, thank you for being a member.

00:18:49.000 Nathaniel, what is on your mind?

00:18:50.000 Hey, so just a question for you regarding this upcoming elections.

00:18:58.000 Being how volatile everything is right now, you know, if Harris wins,

00:19:03.000 do you really think that there's going to be a peaceful transition

00:19:06.000 from Biden to Harris?

00:19:08.000 And same thing with Trump, if it goes from Biden to Trump.

00:19:13.000 I mean, it seems like all parties are pretty much very hostile and divided at the moment.

00:19:18.000 And it also kind of seems like we have a lot of outside influence that's kind of pushing the agenda of even our own elections.

00:19:24.000 And I know you're just recently talking about that, but I just don't feel like we're going to have that safety and security.

00:19:31.000 They're finding ways to constantly push these illegals coming in here, giving them IDs, giving them voter registration cards. 0.99

00:19:38.000 So do you really think if the Democrats win this upcoming election that there will be still that continuous peace for four years and we won't see any type of internal wars between ourselves?

00:19:52.000 Great question.

00:19:53.000 Thank you, Nathaniel, for being a member.

00:19:54.000 Let's start first with if Trump wins.

00:19:56.000 Just listen to Biden himself.

00:19:57.000 There is no guarantee that there will be a peaceful transition to Trump.

00:20:01.000 And if Trump were to win, they'll do everything they can.

00:20:07.000 Jamie Raskin has said this.

00:20:09.000 They might interrupt Congress.

00:20:10.000 They might not certify the election.

00:20:12.000 They might not allow the electoral votes to be counted.

00:20:16.000 That's number one.

00:20:17.000 Number two, if Trump were to lose, that's a tougher question.

00:20:22.000 I'm afraid, and I do not want this to happen, and I will do everything I can to prevent this from happening.

00:20:28.000 I'm afraid that if Kamala Harris were to win, this country will detonate.

00:20:33.000 I'm very afraid of that. That's kind of how I feel like too.

00:20:36.000 I feel like if we have a Democrat vote that goes into the office, I don't think the Republicans,

00:20:42.000 honestly I feel like Republicans aren't doing anything right now. You know, we have people

00:20:46.000 that are giving strong voices but no ramifications or anything ever actually comes of it.

00:20:51.000 Nobody gets fired, nobody gets jailed, but the second we have stuff that goes on for the

00:20:54.000 Republican side, it's people are getting jailed for treason and stuff like that. So there's no other foot

00:21:00.000 that's kind of dropping and there's no push by the Republicans I feel like to even make that

00:21:05.000 change in showing a vast effort that they even are holding people accountable.

00:21:10.000 Yeah, look, so I don't know what it will look like.

00:21:16.000 Here's the problem, is that you have a portion of the population, let's say a couple million people for sure, that are hyper-engaged politically, that will not accept the election results if Donald Trump were to fall short.

00:21:27.000 And I would find it hard to believe, too, in many different ways.

00:21:31.000 And the temperature is going to keep on rising.

00:21:35.000 Trump got shot.

00:21:36.000 You have the indictments.

00:21:37.000 You have the convictions.

00:21:39.000 The indictment part really is going to be hard to calm people down.

00:21:41.000 I've got to be honest.

00:21:42.000 I'm going to try my best.

00:21:43.000 That's going to be hard because it's so off.

00:21:46.000 For example, if they sentence Donald Trump to prison in September and Kamala Harris wins because Donald Trump is in prison and they just can't help themselves, That's really tough.

00:21:56.000 But let's be very clear.

00:21:57.000 Do not let them trick you into doing something that will lead to justify another crackdown.

00:22:04.000 They want more January 6. 0.90

00:22:05.000 They love the idea of Trump supporters doing something like completely doomed stunts that get them arrested, that will justify gun grabs, surveillance, and indictments.

00:22:15.000 And even if Trump were to lose, which I hope he does not, I will not give up on America.

00:22:22.000 America might be gone, by the way, the Rubicon might be crossed, but I will not act and I will not fight as if America is done or gone.

00:22:30.000 So, I am afraid that if Trump were to lose, there could be some unrest.

00:22:34.000 I'm not confident on that, I'm not clear on that, but I think it's a very important question.

00:22:37.000 Thank you, Nathaniel.

00:22:38.000 Tim, up next, what's on your mind?

00:22:40.000 Hey Charlie, I know you had this week you had Megan Boshamon with Shepherds for Sale and she was talking about how Soros is getting curriculum even at the evangelical churches.

00:22:54.000 So I have a suggestion I want to run by you and that's if Turning Point could offer a counterpunch To help equip those of us that are in the audience to lead the fight at the church level.

00:23:06.000 So what do you think about Turning Point creating a weekly, like a 25-minute video podcast we could download?

00:23:14.000 We could either show it in Sunday School or small group, use it kind of as a discussion point.

00:23:19.000 Bring things to the attention of our friends.

00:23:22.000 Have that discussion inside the church.

00:23:24.000 Have something we need to pray about each week.

00:23:27.000 And, you know, in the scriptural, a lot of times there's a scriptural connection.

00:23:30.000 So that's my suggestion that I wanted to kind of bounce off of you.

00:23:35.000 Yeah, so Tim, I think that's really smart.

00:23:38.000 And we are doing something similar to that for pastors in particular, not for the rank and file.

00:23:43.000 You can find some of that curriculum at tpfaith.com.

00:23:46.000 That's tpfaith.com.

00:23:48.000 But look, this is, yes, Soros is pumping in curriculum for small group leaders, for pastors, for people on the ground that can then propagandize the entire church around Around far left-wing values that is masquerading, camouflaging, and disguising as Christianity.

00:24:06.000 Tim, I want to thank you for being a member and thank you for being a faithful believer in Jesus Christ.

00:24:09.000 That is the most important thing.

00:24:11.000 Thank you, my friend.

00:24:12.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:24:13.000 Ricky is next.

00:24:15.000 Ricky, thank you for being a member.

00:24:16.000 Make sure you unmute.

00:24:18.000 What's on your mind?

00:24:19.000 Hi, Mr. Kirk.

00:24:19.000 How are you?

00:24:21.000 Very good.

00:24:22.000 What is on your mind?

00:24:23.000 A couple questions.

00:24:25.000 In regards to lawfare, your best approach suggestion is how we should punish to stop it, legislate to prevent it, or long-term bring awareness to kill the desire, or maybe all three.

00:24:39.000 And then just on a personal note, of the people that you've met, such as President Trump or Elon Musk, I'm not sure who you've met, maybe a story about that, that maybe we would know about that person?

00:24:52.000 Would be kind of interesting to see if it's different from the media.

00:24:55.000 So, yeah, let me start with the law.

00:24:58.000 You said lawfare was the first question, right?

00:24:59.000 So, lawfare.

00:25:01.000 So, the key first for lawfare is that we must make mutually assured destruction.

00:25:09.000 It is time for us to start indicting and investigating them.

00:25:12.000 Still, we do not have a single indictment or serious investigation into BLM or Black Lives Matter, what they did during Floyd Apalooza.

00:25:18.000 We still do not have a serious investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:25:22.000 ActBlue is begging us for a serious investigation to look into them.

00:25:25.000 At a minimum, the GOP should be demanding all the documents that you can.

00:25:30.000 The left is great about this.

00:25:32.000 Gather documents, gather documents, gather documents, gather documents.

00:25:36.000 They harass every right-wing organization.

00:25:38.000 I can say this from personal experience, by the way.

00:25:40.000 For all of its communications, all of its papers, they did this to the NRA, to the Trumps, and then you have 50 million pieces of paper and you find two or three that can then lead you to a criminal conviction.

00:25:50.000 More laws, the less justice.

00:25:52.000 You get all these papers, all these documents, all these emails, all this sworn testimony, and eventually you can lead it towards criminal conviction.

00:26:01.000 Lawfare will not stop unless we reciprocate.

00:26:05.000 And again, Donald Trump, he might be sentenced to prison in September.

00:26:08.000 What is the sentencing day?

00:26:09.000 Is that September 18th or September 11th?

00:26:12.000 What is the sentencing day?

00:26:13.000 They keep on moving it.

00:26:15.000 Whatever, it's not important.

00:26:17.000 Mid-September, Donald Trump will be sentenced to something.

00:26:20.000 My guess is that they're going to sentence him to a short prison sentence in 2025.

00:26:24.000 They're not going to do it during the election.

00:26:27.000 They're going to do it in 2025, which will then make it September 18th.

00:26:30.000 Thank you.

00:26:31.000 It'll make it a political campaign issue.

00:26:34.000 As far as a story, yes, I know President Trump.

00:26:37.000 We are close.

00:26:39.000 He's a good man.

00:26:40.000 I'll tell you one of my favorite stories.

00:26:41.000 This is the most Trumpian story ever.

00:26:43.000 I was at Mar-a-Lago for Easter, actually, with Erica early on when we were dating, and I was meeting a donor there, and I knew Trump was gonna be there.

00:26:52.000 Trump calls me over to his table.

00:26:54.000 We talk for about 20 minutes.

00:26:56.000 Trump's like, what are you doing the rest of the day?

00:26:58.000 I'm like, oh, you know, just hanging out.

00:26:59.000 He's like, why don't you just fly with me to D.C.?

00:27:01.000 He's like, we got more to talk about.

00:27:02.000 I'm like, what?

00:27:03.000 And his staff was like, no, sir, you can't.

00:27:04.000 He's like, no, no, no, no.

00:27:05.000 He just like overrides all of them.

00:27:06.000 He's like, I want Charlie on the plane.

00:27:07.000 So, uh, Eric and I got to fly on Easter Sunday in 2019.

00:27:13.000 That's right.

00:27:13.000 It was, let me think about that.

00:27:14.000 Yeah.

00:27:15.000 It was Easter 2019 on Air Force One.

00:27:19.000 And so that was like one of the coolest things ever.

00:27:20.000 And we hung out and he had meatloaf.

00:27:24.000 On Easter Sunday on Air Force One.

00:27:26.000 Never forget it.

00:27:27.000 And hung out there.

00:27:28.000 And as a kid from Chicago who did not go to college to just be spontaneously invited on Air Force One.

00:27:34.000 And President Trump, he shows around Air Force One like it's his own plane, because it is his own plane.

00:27:39.000 And he's like, let's go up to the top.

00:27:42.000 Let's go up to the top.

00:27:43.000 And so we go up to the top of Air Force One.

00:27:46.000 And it's all these military guys staring at screens, flying the plane.

00:27:49.000 There must be 10 of them.

00:27:51.000 And President Trump's going around, you know, and all of them, they had such great respect for him.

00:27:55.000 Like, sorry, Mr. President, I have to focus on this.

00:27:57.000 Like, oh, you know, you guys know how to fly the plane.

00:28:00.000 So that was, that was a great memory.

00:28:01.000 And that's, I cannot think of any other politician that would act that way, that would be that magnanimous, that generous, and that just kind of open to have.

00:28:11.000 How old was I at the time?

00:28:13.000 I was 25 years old.

00:28:14.000 25 years old being able to just spontaneously be invited on Air Force One.

00:28:18.000 The staff was like, I don't know about this.

00:28:19.000 Ah, whatever.

00:28:20.000 I want to talk to him.

00:28:21.000 So we kept Trump company on Easter in 2019 on Air Force One.

00:28:25.000 Pretty great.

00:28:25.000 Okay, let's go to the next question here.

00:28:28.000 Steve, thank you for being a member.

00:28:29.000 What's on your mind?

00:28:31.000 Steve, what is on your mind?

00:28:33.000 You know, I've been going all around and around, you know, and everybody's talking about, uh, vote early, bank your votes and all that.

00:28:39.000 And I understand that if you're, if you, if there's any chance, you're not going to vote in person.

00:28:44.000 I completely understand it, but I really encourage people to vote in person if, if they're at all possible, because again, how do we trust the bank?

00:28:54.000 Cause, uh, in, in Pennsylvania, they, they shifted all the mail in ballots to go directly to the County.

00:29:00.000 They no longer go.

00:29:02.000 to the local polling places.

00:29:04.000 So you can't have local people, you know, judge of elections verify that it's a legitimate ballot.

00:29:11.000 And if if somebody shows up to vote in person and they claim they requested a ballot, they're told they cannot vote because they requested a mail-in ballot.

00:29:21.000 So the whole system is is very insecure on the voting side, where in-person voting is much more secure.

00:29:29.000 And that's the only problem when I keep hearing people, you know, really encouraging everybody to vote by mail.

00:29:35.000 When I say mail-in ballots should be the last, should be the last, uh, our last, you know, our last resort, not, not our first.

00:29:44.000 What do you think?

00:29:46.000 So yes, I agree.

00:29:47.000 So Steve, let me just reiterate.

00:29:49.000 If you are a high likely voter, like you are Steve, you should go vote in person.

00:29:53.000 I'm going to go vote early in person.

00:29:55.000 Let me tell you why.

00:29:56.000 Because I'm going to be working on Election Day, hosting the show, doing stuff, I'm sure you can understand.

00:30:01.000 But that's just me, right?

00:30:02.000 So I don't want to have to wait two hours in line in Arizona if something fails.

00:30:06.000 But if you are a high likely voter and you are retired and there's no chance that you're not going to vote, go vote in person.

00:30:12.000 No problem with that.

00:30:13.000 So I think we're in total agreement, Steve.

00:30:15.000 But understand that You can vote early in person as well.

00:30:19.000 That's an important thing.

00:30:21.000 But if you are someone that is just busy, and you're a single mom, or you're a police officer working a double, and you're like, man, I don't know if I have time to do all this and to vote, please go vote early.

00:30:31.000 And you just said that, Steve, beautifully.

00:30:34.000 That is a complete no-brainer.

00:30:35.000 So we're in harmony there, Steve.

00:30:38.000 And thank you for being a member.

00:30:39.000 Really appreciate it.

00:30:41.000 Virginia is next.

00:30:42.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:30:43.000 Virginia, what's on your mind?

00:30:45.000 Hi Charlie, thank you so much for your dedication to the conservative cause.

00:30:49.000 We're strong supporters of both TPUSA and TP Action, working in the state of Michigan, which as you know is a tyrannical state, with other volunteers to motivate low propensity disengaged voters.

00:31:02.000 Many of those are in rural areas, difficult to reach by door knocking.

00:31:07.000 As a volunteer group, we don't have funds to reach the 500,000 to 1.3 million disengaged voters by mail, costing about a dollar each.

00:31:17.000 Yet we need to get absentee ballot applications in the hands of these voters, preferably before September 26th, when the actual absentee ballots are mailed to voters.

00:31:28.000 Calling voters will only reach about 25 to 30 percent due to a lack of available accurate phone numbers.

00:31:34.000 Do you have any suggestions for us?

00:31:37.000 Yeah, this is a big problem.

00:31:38.000 Thankfully, we don't have this problem in Arizona as much, because almost everyone is on the early voting list in Arizona.

00:31:43.000 So, it's going to require, first, the county organizations.

00:31:46.000 That's number one.

00:31:46.000 It's going to require a county-by-county operation.

00:31:49.000 So, we're happy to help you in Michigan.

00:31:51.000 What part of Michigan are you in, by the way, Virginia?

00:31:53.000 What part?

00:31:54.000 We live in West Bloomfield, and we currently have a Team Michigan app, which is a sister app to TP Action.

00:31:59.000 We've got 12 counties downloaded already.

00:32:03.000 That is terrific.

00:32:04.000 So as you know, we are working Michigan and we're doing it mostly in CD7 with the Congressional District 7, which is Slotkin's vacated seat.

00:32:12.000 So we look at first and foremost at CD7 as a threefer.

00:32:15.000 We can pick up the House seat.

00:32:17.000 We can win the Senate seat, hopefully with Rogers and also then with the presidency.

00:32:22.000 So here's my advice.

00:32:23.000 It's not easy.

00:32:24.000 The issue is that you have to, there's a couple ways.

00:32:28.000 You can Without money, I was going to say you could send out mailers to people having them fill it out, but that's not going to work if you don't have money.

00:32:37.000 It's just going to require a lot of volunteer labor, and we're happy to help any way we can with the people we have on the ground.

00:32:42.000 But it's a big challenge, Virginia.

00:32:44.000 It is.

00:32:45.000 But with your focus and your emphasis on getting people onto the AB list, It's so incredibly important.

00:32:52.000 But, you know, do not fret all the work that you're doing as if you think it's a waste.

00:32:58.000 It is incredibly important.

00:32:58.000 No, it's not.

00:33:00.000 It is necessary.

00:33:02.000 And we're happy to help any way we can.

00:33:03.000 Okay, Teresa, you are the final question.

00:33:05.000 What's on your mind?

00:33:05.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:33:08.000 Hello, Charlie.

00:33:09.000 I just wanted to ask you.

00:33:11.000 Hi, how are you?

00:33:11.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:33:12.000 Yes.

00:33:13.000 I'm great, Charlie.

00:33:14.000 I'm a big supporter of you, with Alex and all.

00:33:18.000 I just wanted to ask you about that segment you just did with the new head of the TP Faith, if that would be available so that we can share it with our woke pastor.

00:33:29.000 Oh, you better believe it.

00:33:31.000 Yes, it will be available on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:33:35.000 Very powerful.

00:33:35.000 Yes, it'll be available on the, thank you, on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast page.

00:33:41.000 So tell me more, Teresa, where are you from and tell me about your pastor.

00:33:46.000 My name is, you know me as Terry McDonald.

00:33:49.000 I'm from the Richmond, Virginia area.

00:33:51.000 Oh, yeah, of course.

00:33:52.000 How are you?

00:33:53.000 I'm good.

00:33:54.000 And we had a big group meeting with the GOP of Goochland County last night, trying to get more people out to vote and people helping with the election, which is a whole nother set of problems.

00:33:54.000 I'm good.

00:34:05.000 But on the faith issue, we have a pastor who is neutral.

00:34:09.000 For example, he prayed for after the assassination, but wouldn't say the name.

00:34:15.000 Of President Trump or the guy who was killed because that would be political.

00:34:19.000 He told us to roll with it and that disgraceful Lord's Supper at the Olympics.

00:34:25.000 And then I was volunteering there and we were talking politics amongst ourselves and we're told we were not allowed to do that in the church.

00:34:31.000 So I've since left the church, but I didn't want to give up on the pastor himself.

00:34:37.000 Yeah.

00:34:38.000 What, what denomination?

00:34:40.000 It's Presbyterian based.

00:34:43.000 Yeah, that sounds about right.

00:34:46.000 I was raised Presbyterian, so that sounds about right.

00:34:50.000 I'm happy to talk to you offline about some ideas I have about that, but I want to just encourage you and thank you.

00:34:56.000 Being involved in the grassroots is the hardest but most important thing that we can do.

00:35:01.000 And Richmond, Virginia, I'm telling you, Virginia can be a red state long-term.

00:35:05.000 It can be a red state presidentially.

00:35:07.000 It is trending that way.

00:35:09.000 I have not done a campus event in Virginia Except Liberty University, ever.

00:35:15.000 And we're going to fix that problem.

00:35:17.000 I want to go to Charlottesville in the spring.

00:35:19.000 It's on my list.

00:35:20.000 UVA, Charlottesville.
