00:00:11.000 And you ask us questions, and we go through a lot of them in this hour.

00:00:15.000 Rapid fire from canvassing questions to Bratz summer questions to Church questions and so much more.

00:00:22.000 We also give you some behind the scenes how the sausage gets made here at the Charlie Kirk show.

00:00:34.000 Buckle up.

00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:39.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:43.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:48.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:50.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:56.000 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.

00:01:05.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:36.000 Blake.

00:01:37.000 Welcome to the show.

00:01:38.000 We're going to answer all the questions, Andrew.

00:01:41.000 This is the real way to get answers on this show.

00:01:43.000 You have to ask the producers.

00:01:44.000 It's true.

00:01:44.000 I mean, we know all of his secrets.

00:01:46.000 Yeah.

00:01:47.000 Without Charlie in the way, we can actually just sort of get straight to the meat of it.

00:01:51.000 And we have our first question from Caleb and Michelle.

00:01:54.000 Please unmute yourself, Caleb and Michelle.

00:01:56.000 Let us have it.

00:01:57.000 Yeah.

00:01:58.000 Hey, thanks, guys.

00:01:59.000 And speaking of, we just got the T-shirt in the mail.

00:02:02.000 Unmute yourself.

00:02:03.000 I'm super excited.

00:02:07.000 My question is, do we know if the city officials or the governors of these states that are housing the immigrants, if they're getting federal kickbacks or illegal payoffs to turn a blind eye to the whole situation and the activity that they're getting through the, you know, temporary protective status immigrants, is this worth an investigation or a FOIA request?

00:02:31.000 Because it seems like they're intentionally not doing stuff to, like, enforce laws and protect their own citizens.

00:02:37.000 Yeah, I can take a shot at that.

00:02:39.000 So I was, there was a great article just the other day in, I think it's called, in the Jewish Journal, where a reporter dug deep into the situation in Springfield.

00:02:50.000 And this is not one you can necessarily generalize to everywhere else, but it's very detailed on that one.

00:02:56.000 And what this article was about, let me actually search it quick so I can give people the title.

00:03:01.000 Yes, it was the Jewish Journal.

00:03:02.000 It was an article by Azra Nomani, and it talks about exclusive feds and state AG investigate an alleged human trafficking empire run in Springfield, Ohio by King George.

00:03:14.000 Most of the article is about a private businessman in the city who's really gotten very rich off of Haitian labor trafficking and that's a big reason so many 0.92

00:03:23.000 have ended up in Springfield They were literally driving vans down to Florida picking

00:03:27.000 them up bringing them to Springfield having them live in these roach

00:03:31.000 infested low-quality houses and then you know basically renting them out for labor and it's a

00:03:37.000 big racket and an interesting aspect of this is that the mayor of

00:03:41.000 Springfield Rob Rue It doesn't so like overtly say it but

00:03:49.000 Rob Rue he is owner of a lot of rental properties in the city of Springfield under I think it's a

00:03:55.000 Littleton property management a name like that and And they've talked about how the cost of housing in Springfield has exploded due to all these migrants. 1.00

00:04:06.000 There's a big influx of new people.

00:04:09.000 And he's definitely benefited from it.

00:04:12.000 So he has a financial stake in what has been going on.

00:04:17.000 That's not the same as getting an illegal kickback, but it's a good example of how people who are in charge of these cities often do have an interest in it continuing.

00:04:28.000 And so if they're defending it, it's not necessarily just a fully honest defense of what is happening in the city.

00:04:35.000 And this sort of thing is probably going on all over the place.

00:04:38.000 One of the downsides of the modern internet age is All news is national.

00:04:43.000 Local news is very decayed.

00:04:45.000 We don't have nearly as many local newspapers, local investigative reporters, local news outlets.

00:04:52.000 And so there's stuff like this probably going around all over the place, and it's not necessarily hard to find.

00:04:59.000 There's just not a ton of people looking for it.

00:05:01.000 And so if you're interested in doing that for your local town, there's often a good niche to fill there.

00:05:08.000 If you're willing to go to the city council meetings, look who owns what, and just ask people questions, you can discover a lot of really interesting things.

00:05:17.000 And that's just the example I know of from Springfield.

00:05:20.000 But there's likely stuff going on in other cities.

00:05:22.000 There's probably a lot more of these cushy economic arrangements as opposed to outright bribery, but that might be happening as well because without much local news, there's not a lot of people who are going to catch it.

00:05:34.000 Yeah, my perspective is the same on this.

00:05:37.000 Now, we played in that last segment, Caleb, the fact that, you know, JD is still going to call these illegal immigrants because We are not following our immigration laws the way that we should be.

00:05:47.000 And they're just waving a magic wand and basically saying, you know, to 5% of the Haitian population, you are now legally here in the United States.

00:05:55.000 But what we've seen from some reporters that have gone into the field here in Springfield is that they're using this as a bit essentially slave labor.

00:06:04.000 And the political left in this country has a long history of being Specifically because of the wage implications, because of the labor implications, and how this drives down wages for citizens of the United States.

00:06:22.000 Now they've completely departed from that worldview.

00:06:26.000 To Blake's point, a lot of this you just have to look at local incentives.

00:06:29.000 The people that run towns like Springfield tend to be the more wealthy among them, the business owners.

00:06:36.000 They sit on the boards, they're on city councils.

00:06:39.000 And they have financial incentives because a lot of towns like Springfield are slowly losing population before this massive influx, right?

00:06:47.000 So that has effects on tax, the tax base of a local town.

00:06:52.000 So if you're on the city council and you're looking at paying local bills within the town, you're looking at how can you get growth?

00:06:59.000 How can you get this or that?

00:07:01.000 So maybe there was sort of a backroom handshake deal saying, yeah, sure, we'll send them here.

00:07:04.000 We'll take them.

00:07:05.000 We've got these factories.

00:07:06.000 that have been telling me they need more labor. 0.91

00:07:08.000 So we'll put them to work there.

00:07:10.000 And we know these guys that shuffle around immigrant workers 1.00

00:07:14.000 on these vans and we'll get you guys all staffed up and you won't have to pay nearly as much.

00:07:19.000 Profits will be up, wages will be down.

00:07:22.000 It's sure we screw the local population and the citizens of this town.

00:07:26.000 But in the end, it's a win because we have more taxes.

00:07:29.000 So some of this stuff is really just basic incentive structure, financial structure,

00:07:34.000 and local towns are obsessed about their tax base.

00:07:39.000 I can tell you this because my dad, after he sort of retired his corporate law job, he ended up going and kind of volunteering at the local level at a local county in Nevada.

00:07:48.000 And it's all about tax bases.

00:07:50.000 And one of the arguments he encounters all the time is these immigrants are willing to do the jobs that Americans won't do. 1.00

00:07:57.000 That's the common and it's in by the way, I think that's wrong.

00:08:01.000 I think it's a misperception.

00:08:02.000 First of all, But it's something that is shared by both sides.

00:08:06.000 This is a very conservative town.

00:08:07.000 He's sort of volunteering his legal services too.

00:08:12.000 And it doesn't matter that the police department has, you know, this massive increase in calls about anything from domestic violence to shoplifting to criminal activities, more serious drugs.

00:08:24.000 That is all true.

00:08:25.000 That comes with the package.

00:08:27.000 They're just looking at it strictly in terms of financial incentives and tax basis and labor.

00:08:34.000 because again, the people running it tend to own the businesses.

00:08:38.000 They own the properties that get rented.

00:08:40.000 They have that financial stake in it.

00:08:42.000 So it's very corrupt in a sense, but it's kind of more basic than I think

00:08:49.000 we're tempted to think about the problem.

00:08:51.000 Like we want to see corruption here and people go to jail for this, but a lot of it is just basic rudimentary incentives.

00:08:59.000 And I know that's frustrating on some level.

00:09:02.000 And so what we need to do, and Blake, I think you would agree about this,

00:09:05.000 is re-educate the population on why this is so destructive, why this hurts the fabric of the American society,

00:09:13.000 why it's a breakdown in the civil contract that we should have with our citizens and our population,

00:09:19.000 and then bringing awareness to it.

00:09:21.000 And I think that's the genius of what Springfield has done, is it's shown the core of our heartland getting corroded from within, and the American people getting screwed in the process.

00:09:33.000 So, thanks for your question, Caleb.

00:09:35.000 Hopefully that answers what you were looking for.

00:09:40.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:41.000 Peyton, you are next.

00:10:45.000 Please unmute yourself.

00:10:46.000 Okay, so I got a question mostly about canvassing.

00:10:50.000 It's not necessarily with Turning Point Action, but it's with, in this case, Susan B. Anthony, Pro-Life America.

00:10:57.000 I was going door-to-door over the Labor Day weekend a couple of weeks ago advocating for the pro-life issue, and especially against Alyssa Slotkin and Kamala Harris.

00:11:06.000 We went door to door, had no problems.

00:11:09.000 It was very swingy where you had a bunch of liberals and conservatives each, where we sort of talked to them

00:11:15.000 about the pro-life issue.

00:11:17.000 Everything went well until the final day where I had an individual who threatened

00:11:21.000 to call the police on me and took a picture of me.

00:11:24.000 And obviously I wasn't breaking any laws because there wasn't any sign that said no trespassing,

00:11:30.000 but I was frozen in shock, not knowing what I was supposed to be doing

00:11:35.000 and how I should have responded.

00:11:36.000 So in the event that I come and receive that sort of response again, which I may be receiving that response again in the future with more canvassing that I'm doing before the election, how should I respond to people like that?

00:11:50.000 Yeah, so this is an interesting, there's a couple different aspects to this, Peyton.

00:11:54.000 One is, I'm curious, you know, how you're getting assigned the doors that you're going to be knocked on, or are they just sending you to a neighborhood and saying knock on all of the doors?

00:12:05.000 How do they send you out?

00:12:08.000 So they give us a walkbook list that has certain houses that are listed on there.

00:12:14.000 It's not every house that we go to.

00:12:16.000 There may be a long line of houses in a row, but they're mostly just low propensity voters that we see, because most of the people that I've had to go knock on the doors are either families with like five or six kids, or they may not have the time to go vote, because obviously they have to go work and they have to take care of their family.

00:12:36.000 Or there are elderly people who obviously would not as easily be able to get to the polls.

00:12:42.000 So, but are they sending you to what you think are conservative or Republican doors?

00:12:48.000 Oh no, so they tell us on the voter form who they are, a little bit about them before.

00:12:54.000 So it doesn't necessarily shape your response, but you just get an idea of like the demographic of the person, their age, their voter registration, stuff like that.

00:13:05.000 Yeah, but are they sending you to mostly conservative stores or is it mostly liberal stores or independent?

00:13:11.000 It's more conservative, but I would say there's probably about a third of those voters are swing voters slash liberals that are a little bit more sway.

00:13:20.000 Yeah, okay.

00:13:21.000 So here's what I'll tell you.

00:13:22.000 You know, so we have a different philosophy at Turning Point Action.

00:13:25.000 Our universe that we're trying to bring out are low-propensity, conservative-leaning voters, right?

00:13:31.000 And so that's our philosophy, first of all, because our data shows that a swing voter might take as many as 20 interactions before we can get that person out to the poll for Donald Trump or anybody else down the ballot, right?

00:13:45.000 That's a ton of interactions.

00:13:47.000 It's not a good use of resources, especially Because the electorate has shifted.

00:13:51.000 Donald Trump is now up 14, 11 points, 18 points, depending on the poll, with low propensity voters, right?

00:13:58.000 These are voters that have not come out in the last couple presidential cycles or last couple, if you count the midterms as well, we usually grade it on like a 1 out of 4 voter, 2 out of 4, 3 out of 4, 4 out of 4, right?

00:14:12.000 So our data shows us that somebody that is conservative leaning might take as little as like one, two to five interactions.

00:14:20.000 So that's a first thing that I observe when I'm hearing your story is that hitting somebody that's already ideologically aligned, but maybe is not an active voter is a much better use of resources.

00:14:31.000 So that's some feedback that you could give to the people that you're working with.

00:14:36.000 I would also say, you know, on that same line of reasoning, You know, when you encounter somebody that really doesn't want to talk to you, just from a pure use of your time, it's totally fine to say, you know, totally fine.

00:14:49.000 We'll, you know, that's fine.

00:14:51.000 We don't need to talk and appreciate, you know, you answering the door.

00:14:54.000 Have a nice day.

00:14:55.000 Just let it go.

00:14:56.000 Move on.

00:14:56.000 because there are so many interactions that are worth having.

00:15:01.000 So when you interact with somebody that is a completely closed door,

00:15:05.000 first of all, I'd say that's a problem on the data side.

00:15:08.000 And, you know.

00:15:09.000 We could talk about different data sources.

00:15:11.000 I'm not going to name names here.

00:15:14.000 Some of them are not good.

00:15:15.000 Some of them are built on faulty data that's been accumulating over years

00:15:19.000 and people move and people change their position.

00:15:22.000 And it's just not good.

00:15:23.000 And then there's data sources that are much better and you're gonna have a much higher success rate

00:15:28.000 when you knock on those doors.

00:15:30.000 So I would just say not worth your time moving on.

00:15:33.000 You gotta think about it in terms of ROI.

00:15:35.000 You're not doing anything illegal.

00:15:37.000 Get out of there safely, get out of there calmly and live to fight another day and at another door.

00:15:42.000 That's the advice I would give you.

00:15:44.000 So thank you for your work, Peyton.

00:15:46.000 God bless you doing the Lord's work.

00:15:48.000 It's an uphill battle with some doors, but hopefully there's a lot of doors that are worth knocking on.

00:15:51.000 Next question from Kimberly.

00:15:53.000 Kimberly, unmute yourself. 0.99

00:15:55.000 Hey guys, how's it going?

00:15:56.000 Going great.

00:15:57.000 Thanks, Kim.

00:15:57.000 It's going great.

00:15:59.000 Good, thanks for being here.

00:16:01.000 Yeah, so my question was, you know, I, the more and more I'm canvassing because I'm working for you guys, as well as just some middle-of-the-road friends, keep asking, you know, what could be done about Trump's, how he's speaking to people, you know, they really think he would do better Is speaking to people is better and like not putting people down and just name calling as well as like not arguing with them like just speaking more matter of fact like I don't know what you guys think could be done about that or if he would take some coaching from like you or Blake or Charlie or like Tony Robbins.

00:16:35.000 Thanks for the question, Kimberly, and thanks for doing work with us.

00:16:38.000 I was talking with Charlie about this just the other day, and this might be the disappointing answer, but the truth is with Trump, it's kind of just not going to happen.

00:16:47.000 Trump is kind of a force of nature.

00:16:50.000 is a very, very strong personality. He does things his way.

00:16:55.000 He's pretty much always done them that way. Sometimes it's amazingly good and he does

00:17:00.000 and says things that are so memorable, totally upset the political balance and produce long-term

00:17:06.000 gain. And sometimes he's logging in to Truth Social to say, I hate Taylor Swift.

00:17:14.000 You just get the good and the bad.

00:17:16.000 And I heard someone ask Charlie a very similar question along those lines.

00:17:22.000 It was like, can you get Trump to do or say this?

00:17:26.000 And he just said, honestly, he says, no, don't ask me to get Trump to do things because you can't make Trump do things.

00:17:35.000 He does what he does.

00:17:37.000 Now, that doesn't mean we're going to lose.

00:17:40.000 It just means this is a reality that we work around.

00:17:43.000 We take the good with the bad, with Trump, and we do what we can to give him the best support possible to win.

00:17:51.000 And that's just sort of the honest answer about it, but he is a person who's very confident in his methods.

00:18:00.000 Yeah, and I'd add this, Kimberly, you know, I forget who said this originally, but I still think it holds.

00:18:05.000 When you're talking to your friends, tell them two things.

00:18:09.000 Don't pay attention so much to what Trump says.

00:18:11.000 Pay attention to what he does.

00:18:14.000 Right, and what he does in his policy platform and what he accomplished in his first term, blue collar boom, no new wars, closing the border, really protecting pro-life groups, March for Life, the Supreme Court, all of these things are so much more important than maybe an errant true social or tweet, right?

00:18:35.000 So there's that.

00:18:37.000 The I hate Taylor Swift will live in infamy, I'm sure.

00:18:40.000 But what he does is what is most important.

00:18:44.000 Second thing is, you know, and I've heard Charlie say this actually said this at the DNC when he somebody came up and spoke with him.

00:18:51.000 He says it's a chess move for the type of future you want, right?

00:18:55.000 And so you have to some somehow sort of pull yourself back and look at the equation rationally and encourage your

00:19:04.000 friends to do that and say, do you care about the economy? Do you care about the border?

00:19:08.000 Do you care about the rule of law? Do you care about getting rid of DEI? Do you care

00:19:12.000 about supporting the men and women in uniform and putting merit back at the top of the

00:19:18.000 priorities list and not some DEI racial division, racial politics? So all of these things are so

00:19:25.000 critical and it is a chess move and people need to be reminded, Hey, take your emotions out

00:19:30.000 of it and figure out the kind of country you want to live in.

00:19:33.000 And at that point, Trump is the obvious choice.

00:19:35.000 So thanks so much, Kimberly.

00:19:37.000 We're going to get to the next question here.

00:19:38.000 Awesome.

00:19:39.000 Yeah.

00:19:40.000 Thank you.

00:19:40.000 Thank you for being a member, Kimberly.

00:19:42.000 Gina, Gina, you're next.

00:19:43.000 Please unmute yourself.

00:19:45.000 Hey, thanks guys.

00:19:47.000 My best wishes to Charlie.

00:19:48.000 Hope he starts feeling better quickly.

00:19:50.000 Same.

00:19:51.000 Thank you.

00:19:54.000 There were a lot of comments by a lot of folks when Trump survived the first assassination attempt that were focused on God's hand of protection being on him.

00:20:03.000 But yesterday, many even conservative What I consider to be spiritual leaders in the media focus, we're calling his survival of the second attempt, luck.

00:20:17.000 What have you noticed about the comparison of the two different attempts as it relates to faith?

00:20:24.000 Have you noticed a big difference?

00:20:26.000 Tell me your thoughts on that.

00:20:27.000 Yeah, Blake, I'll start here and love your thoughts on the other end.

00:20:32.000 So I think both of them are miracles to be perfectly clear.

00:20:36.000 The first one just, Just by visuals, Gina, was, you know, the guy got the shot off and it nicked him and missed him by two centimeters from absolutely changing the trajectory of our country.

00:20:48.000 So there was something miraculous about that, just visually, just the context of what happened.

00:20:56.000 What we refer to as luck is when we say the Secret Service got lucky, right?

00:21:01.000 They were lucky to see this guy.

00:21:04.000 In the bushes, saw the muzzle of the gun poking through the bushes.

00:21:10.000 And we shouldn't be relying on one of the Secret Service agents spotting somebody in the bushes.

00:21:16.000 There should have been a perimeter established around him.

00:21:19.000 Now, but that was still God's hand.

00:21:21.000 I totally believe that and I agree with you that that was God's hand protecting Donald Trump from something terrible happening.

00:21:28.000 But from a strategic or a tactical standpoint, eagle eye secret service agent

00:21:38.000 to spot somebody in the bushes.

00:21:40.000 There should have been a perimeter that protected him.

00:21:43.000 They knew the vulnerabilities.

00:21:44.000 Whistleblowers are coming out to Josh Hawley saying, they know that golf course very well.

00:21:49.000 They know exactly where the soft spots are and they post agents up on those soft spots.

00:21:53.000 Why did that not happen?

00:21:55.000 Why are we relying on, you know, essentially getting lucky?

00:21:58.000 But yeah, God's hand as well.

00:22:01.000 So I think it's saying the same thing.

00:22:03.000 I think it's just coming out of a frustration that we're dealing with this yet again, right?

00:22:08.000 Where we hadn't dealt with this since Reagan, essentially.

00:22:12.000 And now all of a sudden he's within the course of, you know, two months, we've had two attempts at his life.

00:22:17.000 And so that's my take on it.

00:22:19.000 But yes, certainly the hand of God.

00:22:20.000 God has a massive role here and I think is the truth underlying it all.

00:22:26.000 But Blake, your take?

00:22:27.000 I don't have too much to add.

00:22:29.000 I guess I wouldn't attribute too much to... I don't want to just say God's hand is protecting him because that can often be an excuse to not act.

00:22:43.000 If you've decided that God's hand is just going to win us this election and keep Trump alive, well...

00:22:49.000 That's not doing the work.

00:22:50.000 That's not doing what our obligation is morally to get the things that we know need to be done.

00:22:58.000 And we have a moral duty to this country.

00:23:00.000 We have a moral duty to our fellow citizens to do everything possible to salvage this country.

00:23:06.000 And if there's going to be some miraculous stuff along the way, that's great, but we can't count on that.

00:23:12.000 We can never assume those things.

00:23:13.000 Our job is to do the work and hope.

00:23:17.000 Yeah, there's actually a good one-liner.

00:23:19.000 I stole it from some movie.

00:23:20.000 I can't even remember it, though.

00:23:22.000 Two farmers prayed for rain.

00:23:25.000 One tilled his field.

00:23:26.000 Who do you think God could bless?

00:23:29.000 To underscore Blake's point, you gotta do the work in order to sometimes receive the blessing, and then sometimes God comes and does miraculous things that bails us all out, and I think that's what Butler was, and perhaps that's what Palm Beach was, but only God knows.

00:23:46.000 If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

00:23:55.000 It's time to try Relief Factor.

00:24:45.000 Next question, Zane.

00:24:47.000 Zane, I believe you are on the line.

00:24:49.000 Unmute yourself, please.

00:24:51.000 Can you hear me?

00:24:51.000 Yes.

00:24:52.000 Yes.

00:24:53.000 Okay, good.

00:24:55.000 How are you all doing today?

00:24:56.000 Doing great.

00:24:57.000 Thank you, Zane.

00:24:58.000 How are you?

00:24:59.000 Good.

00:25:00.000 And my question is, I live in Virginia, and is there like any way I could do door knocking in Virginia?

00:25:09.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:25:10.000 So what I would recommend, we don't have, uh, Virginia is not one of our target states of turning point action, right?

00:25:16.000 Uh, but that doesn't mean you can't get involved.

00:25:19.000 The best way is probably through your local GOP.

00:25:23.000 So I would contact whatever county it is that you live in, contact your local GOP office and find out about volunteer opportunities.

00:25:33.000 I guarantee a lot of them are doing door knockings.

00:25:36.000 They have their walkbooks.

00:25:37.000 You can also use Turning Point Action, the app, So if you just download the Turning Point Action app, we have the whole, all of the data for the entire United States, even though we don't have full-time staff in Virginia, it does have the data in Virginia.

00:25:51.000 So you, it'll give you people that you could call, you can write postcards to, and even go knock their doors as well.

00:25:58.000 So in our Good morning, guys.

00:26:01.000 getting low propensity conservatives.

00:26:02.000 So you would be probably talking to like-minded people that just for whatever reason haven't come out

00:26:08.000 and you would be texting, calling, sending postcards to them.

00:26:10.000 So that's a great place to start, but your local GOP is definitely doing walks,

00:26:15.000 walkbooks and canvassing.

00:26:17.000 Okay, thank you.

00:26:18.000 Absolutely.

00:26:20.000 Next question from Brandon.

00:26:22.000 Brandon, please unmute yourself.

00:26:24.000 Good morning, guys.

00:26:25.000 Can you hear me?

00:26:26.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:26:27.000 Yes, I was just wondering, I'd recently started going to this church

00:26:30.000 and I saw that they had this LGBTQ parents meeting.

00:26:34.000 I'm not really sure what it's about.

00:26:37.000 I think it's like a support type thing.

00:26:39.000 And I was just wondering if you guys had any advice on, like, how to talk to the pastors about that, or if there's anything I can do to kind of just get them to be more biblical about things.

00:26:50.000 Is this a church you attend?

00:26:52.000 Yes, yes.

00:26:53.000 So it's a support group for parents of kids who would be LGBT, that's what it is?

00:26:58.000 Or the parents themselves are?

00:26:59.000 I think it's more of the parents of the children.

00:27:04.000 I don't really see a lot of children at this church specifically.

00:27:08.000 Yeah.

00:27:09.000 You might have more advice on this one, Andrew, because I'd assume this is probably a Protestant church.

00:27:14.000 Yeah, sounds... Is this an evangelical Protestant church, Brandon?

00:27:21.000 It's a Lutheran church.

00:27:23.000 Which opens it up to a whole spectrum of possibilities.

00:27:26.000 But yeah, listen, I don't necessarily, on its face, I don't necessarily think they're doing something unbiblical,

00:27:32.000 right?

00:27:32.000 Because even if they believe that marriage is between man and a woman,

00:27:36.000 and that God designed men for women, and they're not supportive of, you know,

00:27:40.000 without knowing more about the theology of your church, it's hard to say.

00:27:44.000 day.

00:27:45.000 But a lot of parents that, you know, by no fault of their own, they're raising kids that end up telling them that they are now gay or whatever.

00:27:53.000 They need support.

00:27:53.000 They need to understand how best to deal with it, how to love them,

00:27:57.000 maybe love them back to a place of biblical truth, what that means for their family,

00:28:01.000 and just not feel alone in that.

00:28:03.000 So you'd have to tell me more about their theology to know if they're being somehow wayward in their theology.

00:28:10.000 But at this point, I don't have enough to go on.

00:28:12.000 So I would say, maybe don't judge, maybe ask more questions and get to the bottom

00:28:16.000 of what their motivation is as a first step.

00:28:19.000 We're gonna do a little bit of a rapid fire.

00:28:21.000 Again, you can be a part of these episodes if you join members.charliekirk.com.

00:28:28.000 Members.charliekirk.com is our inner circle community.

00:28:32.000 Rapid Fire.

00:28:33.000 This is from Molly.

00:28:34.000 It says, hey, Andrew and Blake, I was watching yesterday.

00:28:36.000 You can see how strained Charlie's voice was.

00:28:38.000 I think he It's definitely for the best.

00:28:40.000 He took the day off.

00:28:41.000 He deserves it.

00:28:41.000 My question for you two is a little bit behind the scenes of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:28:45.000 How do you guys decide what you talk about every day?

00:28:47.000 Is any part of it scripted or is Charlie just riffing every day off the cup?

00:28:51.000 So here's what we basically do.

00:28:53.000 Our one is Charlie's He has some basic ideas and thoughts that he wants to present.

00:29:01.000 We usually come up with that the night before or in the morning early, three, four hours before the show.

00:29:07.000 And then Blake does some research.

00:29:09.000 I do some research.

00:29:10.000 Ryan, the whole team kind of pulls assets, videos, supportive, you know, images, all of those things.

00:29:17.000 And then we discuss it.

00:29:19.000 And then actually sometimes as Charlie's going, he'll bring up an idea that just like comes to him or an bring more supportive video or images

00:29:30.000 that support the kind of new direction he goes.

00:29:32.000 But it's a live wire, I will tell you.

00:29:34.000 It is always, you gotta stay on your toes here.

00:29:37.000 And thankfully, we're all consuming so much news all the time that we can kind of go where he goes.

00:29:44.000 But it's definitely not like broadcast TV.

00:29:47.000 Connie, hello, Charlie Kirk team.

00:29:49.000 I have a question for you all.

00:29:49.000 What is each of your favorite things about Charlie or about your job?

00:29:53.000 Y'all are saving the country.

00:29:54.000 My favorite thing about Charlie is he's loyal and he's good.

00:29:59.000 He's true.

00:30:00.000 He actually means what he says.

00:30:02.000 He does what he believes.

00:30:03.000 And he's loyal to his friends, sometimes to a fault.

00:30:06.000 But when you work with him, that's a really good thing.

00:30:08.000 Weston, I heard Andrew say the other day that Bradt's summer might be over.

00:30:11.000 I hope so.

00:30:12.000 Do we think this trend being over will actually move voters and impact the election?

00:30:16.000 Yes, Bradt's summer is over.

00:30:18.000 The support that she got out of the gate was this exuberant relief from Democrats.

00:30:24.000 Her favorables are down.

00:30:26.000 Trump is actually ahead in enthusiasm.

00:30:28.000 There's a lot of good indications out there that her honeymoon period is over.

00:30:33.000 Yes.

00:30:33.000 and that's really exciting.

00:30:34.000 One more.

00:30:35.000 My question is around, this is from Mitch, how you all do your emergency episodes so quickly.

00:30:40.000 Do you all just stay ready constantly for any sort of news?

00:30:42.000 It's very impressive and reliable.

00:30:44.000 Yes.

00:30:44.000 So when something like an assassination or something happens,

00:30:48.000 we all start calling and texting each other.

00:30:50.000 Our studio, our tech guys are amazing.

00:30:52.000 They rush in, they get everything ready to go.

00:30:55.000 Wherever we're at, we'll zoom in, we'll Skype in, whatever we have to do.

00:30:59.000 And we know that you guys expect it from us now, so it's kind of part of the way we're wired.

00:31:04.000 Hopefully that answers your question.

00:31:06.000 Blake, you have some intel for us as well out of the Dakotas.

00:31:10.000 Yes I do, yes I do.

00:31:11.000 So our last question is coming from my dad who has been asking me to do this for a while.

00:31:17.000 So you guys, oh and I want to answer the question because someone asked.

00:31:21.000 My favorite thing about Charlie is he's tremendously high agency.

00:31:24.000 I love how his approach to everything is like, what can I do to save America?

00:31:29.000 Like on the Nebraska thing, I love how he just went and did it like we talked about it on the show and bam we

00:31:35.000 have a rally in Nebraska the following week that's Charlie in a nutshell I love that about him anyway

00:31:41.000 so some of you might remember about a year and a half ago there was a democrat state house rep

00:31:46.000 from South Dakota her name was Erin Healy and she got angry and tweeted the following quote

00:31:53.000 extremist group family heritage Alliance said this morning that the safest place for kids

00:31:59.000 is in families that have a married mom and dad. What a dangerous and un-American 1.00

00:32:05.000 belief. That is what she said. Erin Healy in the red state of South Dakota

00:32:09.000 said that and Miss Healy is still in the South Dakota State House and is

00:32:15.000 running for another term.

00:32:17.000 My father who lives in South Dakota is very upset about this and would like to get her tossed out of office.

00:32:22.000 So he said, Blake, can you tell the listeners of the Charlie Kirk Show about it and maybe they could help out.

00:32:28.000 So I told him I would.

00:32:30.000 So she is being challenged by someone, a woman named Bobby L. Andara.

00:32:35.000 That's B-O-B-B-I, if you want to look it up.

00:32:38.000 You can learn more by going to bobbylanderaforehouse.com.

00:32:43.000 That's a bit long.

00:32:44.000 B-O-B-B-I-L-A-N-D-E-R-A forehouse dot com.

00:32:52.000 Obviously, it's not the highest stakes race, so definitely put more of your focus on the presidential election, or gubernatorial races, winning, the swing state stuff that'll help save the country.

00:33:03.000 But if you want to throw my dad a bone, that is one of his pet issues.

00:33:10.000 How good would it be for the audience of this show to get another scalp?

00:33:13.000 So I think we should absolutely support the challenger here and get rid of these radicals at a place like South Dakota.

00:33:20.000 My goodness.

00:33:21.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:33:22.000 We'll talk to you soon.
