00:01:53.000 It is Caleb and Michelle.

00:01:55.000 Caleb and Michelle, God bless you guys.

00:01:57.000 Thank you for becoming a member.

00:01:58.000 Make sure you unmute yourself, and what is on your mind?

00:02:00.000 Hello, Charlie.

00:02:02.000 Hey guys, how are you?

00:02:03.000 I'm trying out my public radio voice.

00:02:07.000 So, Michelle is here with me, and today it's her turn to ask a question.

00:02:11.000 We're planning a second trip to D.C.

00:02:13.000 next month, and last time we only had a few hours, but we did see the Lincoln Memorial, looked through the fence of the White House, and visited the National Archives.

00:02:22.000 But we are wondering, what are your favorite places to visit in D.C.

00:02:26.000 and your recommendations?

00:02:27.000 I'll go first, and then Blake, and Caleb and Michelle, if we went back to the White House, and maybe one day we can show you around there.

00:02:36.000 I don't have many connections right now.

00:02:37.000 I'm gonna cash in.

00:02:38.000 You have to show me like the West Wing.

00:02:39.000 I've never actually been there.

00:02:40.000 Are you serious?

00:02:41.000 Yeah, I had a few friends who promised and then they would always like flay and it would be difficult.

00:02:45.000 I don't want to say it's no problem, but last time it was no problem.

00:02:49.000 So who knows what's gonna happen this way, but I imagine this time it wouldn't be.

00:02:53.000 I will say first, just like one of the most amazing moments ever is like being After like the 15th time it does, you do kind of get used to it, but like you walk in and by the Oval and you're like, that's the coolest thing ever.

00:03:06.000 I'm sorry, it's just like the most amazing thing and like the Situation Room and I gotta look at the map.

00:03:11.000 Caleb and Michelle, I will answer and then Blake, because Blake is more of a Washingtonian than I am.

00:03:15.000 I lived there a decade, tragically.

00:03:17.000 Did you really?

00:03:17.000 Yeah.

00:03:18.000 I will say this, Museum of the Bible.

00:03:21.000 I think it's a great museum.

00:03:22.000 They've done a wonderful job.

00:03:23.000 Did you guys visit that when you were there, Caleb and Michelle?

00:03:26.000 No, we didn't go to that one.

00:03:27.000 We didn't really have time that day.

00:03:29.000 I would prioritize it.

00:03:30.000 It's phenomenal what the Green family has done there.

00:03:32.000 It is really, really special.

00:03:35.000 So that is my favorite thing to visit in Washington, D.C.

00:03:38.000 And then, I'm trying to think, the National Archives are okay, but Blake, you are the history man, so navigate us through D.C.

00:03:46.000 There is such a glut of things to see there.

00:03:49.000 It's so tragic, it's kind of all wasted on this great font of evil, but there's so many cool things.

00:03:57.000 I would say a lot of people know that Air and Space is good, although I think it's been getting renovated for half a decade now.

00:04:02.000 I'm not sure if they've finished that, but not as many people get out to... There's Udvar-Hazy, I think is the name of the... It's the bonus annex hangar out by Dulles International Airport that has a lot of the bigger planes you can't really fit on the mall.

00:04:16.000 So you can go see the Enola Gay, which dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. 0.82

00:04:19.000 Um, I think they have the space, one of the space shuttles there.

00:04:24.000 It used to be enterprise.

00:04:25.000 I think it's now the discovery, like an actual shuttle.

00:04:27.000 Uh, they've got ICBM.

00:04:29.000 So if you like aerospace technology at all, that's really cool.

00:04:33.000 Uh, I can't remember if they said they'd been to the Capitol, but I think actually

00:04:36.000 visiting the Capitol is underrated.

00:04:38.000 There's a lot of, uh, very good kind of civic art to it.

00:04:43.000 Like I love going to the Rotunda.

00:04:44.000 They have the paintings of George Washington resigning his commission.

00:04:48.000 There's a lot of, and every state has their statues and some of them are

00:04:51.000 somewhat amusing choices for statues, I will say.

00:04:55.000 So I'm very appreciative of all of that.

00:04:57.000 Um, you can do a lot worse than just walking, literally walk the circuit from

00:05:03.000 the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the Capitol.

00:05:06.000 It's a few miles, but you pass, you know, the big monuments.

00:05:09.000 There's World War II, Korean War, Vietnam has the, has the wall there. 0.66

00:05:15.000 I'm always a big sucker for the lesser statues that we have.

00:05:18.000 Oh, we have, you know, General Grant has a statue right in front of the Capitol.

00:05:21.000 It's not widely remembered but it's a very beautiful statue. It's

00:05:25.000 really a tour of historically what America has valued and appreciated

00:05:30.000 throughout its history especially before they started ripping a bunch of them down.

00:05:34.000 But so I like all of Arlington is always worth a visit, though they are also modifying the statues that are on display there.

00:05:41.000 I've never done Arlington.

00:05:42.000 Yeah, so you can take me to Arlington, I'll take you there.

00:05:42.000 Never?

00:05:44.000 Yeah, well you missed it.

00:05:44.000 They had a, so this is controversial, they had a Confederate monument there and they took it down and they're moving it to, I think they're moving it to Newmarket where there's a Civil War battlefield there.

00:05:55.000 But it's a real shame because it, you know, objectively was a beautiful monument and it

00:06:00.000 was a testament to the kind of reunification of America, which is not appreciated enough

00:06:07.000 in my opinion.

00:06:08.000 There's so many countries where they have a civil war and the country never ever gets

00:06:12.000 over it.

00:06:13.000 It happens over and over.

00:06:14.000 There's recurrences.

00:06:16.000 The country's just broken.

00:06:17.000 And America was so fortunate that we had a civil war and the country healed after it and became, you know, a strong superpower.

00:06:24.000 And I think it was a testament to that.

00:06:26.000 But I guess I shouldn't be telling them to visit a thing that they actually can't visit now because Biden took it down.

00:06:30.000 That is true.

00:06:32.000 So do that, guys.

00:06:33.000 And honestly, I agree with Blake.

00:06:35.000 Some of my favorite memories ever were either late at night or early mornings or just if I had free time, just to kind of keep my phone in my hotel room and just walk the National Mall, walk the monuments.

00:06:47.000 I think when it's clean, we objectively have a beautiful capital in our country.

00:06:52.000 Would you agree?

00:06:53.000 Yes, and so much, it was a capital, you know, purpose-built under, you know, a nice plan.

00:06:59.000 He's a French guy, right?

00:07:00.000 Yeah, La Font, Pierre La Font, something like that.

00:07:03.000 And you can visit, if you go to Arlington, you can actually see where he's buried.

00:07:08.000 He's kind of buried overlooking DC on a hill near Arlington Manor.

00:07:13.000 Yeah, it's all very lovely.

00:07:15.000 An underrated Smithsonian, I should mention.

00:07:17.000 I've always been a fan of the National Portrait Gallery.

00:07:19.000 I would meet people there for dates sometimes.

00:07:23.000 It's downtown Chinatown.

00:07:24.000 It's kind of cool because it's a mixture of art with American history because it's a lot of portraits of famous Americans.

00:07:30.000 They have a hall with a painting of each of the presidents.

00:07:33.000 They have that weird Obama one where he's in front of the leaf wall and it kind of looks strange.

00:07:40.000 And I wonder, they might have a Trump one by now, I'm not sure.

00:07:42.000 Maybe we will.

00:07:43.000 Kayla, Michelle, thank you guys for being members and enjoy your time in DC.

00:07:46.000 I hope that was helpful.

00:07:47.000 Okay, Abigail is next.

00:07:49.000 Abigail, please unmute yourself. 0.69

00:07:51.000 What's on your mind?

00:07:52.000 Hello We're going to space Charlie

00:07:59.000 I'm sorry, you are definitely unmuted. 0.99

00:08:00.000 I don't know if you heard that, but you are engaging in echolocation, Abigail.

00:08:04.000 So try that again.

00:08:05.000 Hello?

00:08:06.000 Yes, perfect.

00:08:06.000 Is that better?

00:08:07.000 How are you?

00:08:07.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:08:10.000 It's good to see you, not physically, but virtually.

00:08:15.000 So yes, my name is Abigail, and my question, well, first and foremost, I am one of 12 kids.

00:08:23.000 So I have 12 other siblings, 11 of us are adopted.

00:08:27.000 And thanks to your influence and Christ being your cornerstone, I am three weeks into doing courses with Hillsdale College.

00:08:36.000 But my question is, with the election fast approaching and time running out, what can conservative Christians do to ensure North Carolina, a critical swing, turns in our favor?

00:08:47.000 Someone was listening.

00:08:48.000 First of all, Abigail, you're a great patriot.

00:08:51.000 I have to ask, you have 11 brothers and sisters and you're adopted, is that right?

00:08:56.000 I have 12 other siblings, and yes, sir, 11 of us are adopted, and I'm the third adoption.

00:09:01.000 That's amazing.

00:09:02.000 I am a huge adoption fan.

00:09:02.000 Praise God.

00:09:04.000 By the way, I want to meet your parents.

00:09:05.000 I'm not kidding.

00:09:07.000 Please do.

00:09:08.000 They're amazing.

00:09:09.000 My parents are my role models, especially my mother is a homemaker, and she's such a good example to me and helping me with my entrepreneurship and also learning to be a homemaker at home.

00:09:25.000 I love that.

00:09:26.000 So I'm going to come to North Carolina a couple times this fall because it's not where it should be.

00:09:31.000 And so message Daisy and I want to meet you and your parents.

00:09:36.000 So to answer your question, we will tell you how to download the Turning Point Action app and chase ballots.

00:09:41.000 Attend our Turning Point events that we have coming up in North Carolina.

00:09:44.000 Abigail, North Carolina was not on the states that we were focusing on over the

00:09:48.000 summer. We were always focused on other places. Abigail, you being in North

00:09:52.000 Carolina, you could make a huge difference in saving this country. We

00:09:55.000 need everybody in North Carolina to really perk up and wake up and be like,

00:09:59.000 it is not safe territory right now. Right, Blake? It is not safe. I'm not saying it's

00:10:04.000 danger territory, but it's like not safe.

00:10:06.000 So finding new voters, getting your church involved, getting your local Christian friends and family involved, very important.

00:10:13.000 And Abigail, if your siblings are all like-minded, you have a 13-person ballot-chasing army ready to go.

00:10:21.000 So God bless you, Abigail.

00:10:24.000 Thank you.

00:10:25.000 Yes, all my siblings are actually around me, like a little army here.

00:10:31.000 What part of North Carolina?

00:10:33.000 We live in Youngsville and Raleigh area.

00:10:36.000 I will be in Raleigh sometime.

00:10:39.000 I will announce it but keep your eye on that and I want to meet you and especially want to meet your parents who adopted 12 people.

00:10:45.000 That's amazing.

00:10:46.000 God bless you.

00:10:47.000 Thank you.

00:10:48.000 Thank you very much.

00:10:50.000 That's pro-life and practice right there.

00:10:52.000 That's really beautiful stuff.

00:10:53.000 Let's go to Brandon.

00:10:54.000 Brandon, thank you for being a member.

00:10:55.000 What's on your mind?

00:10:56.000 Good morning, Charlie.

00:10:57.000 Can you hear me?

00:10:58.000 How are you?

00:10:58.000 Yes, I can.

00:10:59.000 Good.

00:11:00.000 How are you?

00:11:00.000 Great.

00:11:01.000 What is on your mind?

00:11:02.000 And thank you for being a member.

00:11:03.000 So I was just wondering some ways that you feel closer to God.

00:11:08.000 I recently started going to church again, and some Issues, like, slash backlash in my classes at school have brought me closer, but I still struggle with, like, feeling closer to God.

00:11:21.000 That's a really good question.

00:11:22.000 So, I will tell you what works for me, and then I will tell you what can work for others.

00:11:28.000 So, there are four or five known ways of how to get closer to God.

00:11:34.000 The first rule is this, and I know this sounds silly, you cannot get closer to God if you are actively sinning.

00:11:42.000 So, if you're doing something that is against God's wishes, you're actually pushing your way away from God.

00:11:47.000 I know that sounds obvious, but keep that in mind.

00:11:50.000 So, what works for me, I get closer to God through reading the Bible, and quiet time, and listening to Christian music.

00:11:58.000 Those are three things that get me closer to God.

00:12:01.000 Everybody has a different way to get closer to God.

00:12:05.000 I am not someone who engages in long and deep prayer.

00:12:10.000 My prayers are usually very short and to the point.

00:12:13.000 People have different giftings.

00:12:14.000 Some people grow closer to God in prayer.

00:12:17.000 Some people feel closer to God when they're in church.

00:12:20.000 Other people like closer to God when they're doing their study time.

00:12:23.000 So let me kind of list this to you to explore because it's a great question, Brandon.

00:12:27.000 Ask yourself the question when you're reading the Bible, do you feel as if you're getting closer to God?

00:12:31.000 When you're listening to worship music, do you feel as if you're getting closer to God?

00:12:35.000 Also, the other one is community.

00:12:36.000 When you're spending time with family members or people that you love, do you feel as if you're getting closer to God?

00:12:43.000 So, and then finally going to church, and the one that usually works the most is music.

00:12:49.000 The longest book of the Bible is a book of music.

00:12:52.000 It is the book of Psalms.

00:12:54.000 So God built us to worship.

00:12:55.000 He built us to elevate to him through singing of praise.

00:13:00.000 There is no one-size-fits-all.

00:13:02.000 It works differently.

00:13:03.000 However, when someone says, yeah, you know, I feel closer to God when I'm playing video games.

00:13:06.000 That's just, that's not right.

00:13:08.000 So let's not do that. 0.99

00:13:09.000 It's kind of dumb. 0.99

00:13:10.000 Yeah, it's kind of dumb, right? 0.99

00:13:11.000 Usually it's what is pious, what is reverent, what is reflective, and then also what makes you repent. 0.97

00:13:18.000 I mean, being close to God, I think that Catholics have this right in many ways.

00:13:23.000 I say this with a resident Catholic here, Blake, Which is that if you want to get close to God, you have to first repent of your sins because you have to be in some sort of a holy state to get closer to God.

00:13:36.000 I really believe that.

00:13:37.000 Not to say that God can't come into contact with you if you aren't in that holy state, but I believe that trying to elevate yourself closer to the divine through some sort of practice of reflection and reconciliation is very important.

00:13:50.000 Hope that's helpful, Brandon.

00:13:51.000 Yes, it is.

00:13:51.000 Thank you very much.

00:13:52.000 Do you want to add anything to that, Blake?

00:13:52.000 Great.

00:13:54.000 I think your answer is very good.

00:13:55.000 I do like the emphasis on you should be trying to live in a righteous way.

00:14:00.000 I think these days, especially, you will find people who, for lack of a better term, like they're getting involved with religion just for like a cultural aspect to it.

00:14:09.000 You mean an aesthetic?

00:14:10.000 Yeah, like an aesthetic one, or they want community, and those are benefits that come from it, but if you're just there for that, you're kind of wasting your time, I think, and you're hurting other people's time, because you damage a community when you're there for false reasons and dishonest reasons.

00:14:29.000 If you want to get closer to God, you have to want to get closer to God, not just hang out in a cool building.

00:14:36.000 I completely agree, and again, the key, in my opinion, is knowing how broken you are, and repenting for your shortcomings and your sins, and then being lifted up of a God that loves you.

00:14:50.000 But you have to then, in my opinion, have the humility and the honesty that you fall short of the glory of God.

00:14:57.000 That's the kicker.

00:16:21.000 We have a big, big, big day in Montana on Monday.

00:16:23.000 I encourage all of you guys to attend Missoula with one targeted focus.

00:16:28.000 It is the only really non-Trump specific stop we're doing, which is all about Tim Sheehy winning the Senate, trying to run up the score in Missoula.

00:16:35.000 Well, not actually lose by less in Missoula.

00:16:37.000 Bunch of Portland hippies there. 1.00

00:16:39.000 Okay, let's go here.

00:16:40.000 Rob.

00:16:41.000 Rob, thank you for being a member.

00:16:42.000 What is on your mind?

00:16:43.000 Yes.

00:16:44.000 Hello.

00:16:44.000 This may or may not be your expertise, but I'd ask anyway.

00:16:47.000 I'm curious about the healthcare system.

00:16:49.000 What do you think the US should do?

00:16:51.000 Should we apply like a Singapore model?

00:16:53.000 And I don't know if you know about it where prices are shown and you get accounts and they actually get better results or a Nordic model, which is different.

00:17:02.000 They used to be more socialist, but they changed or something else.

00:17:05.000 Just curious what you think.

00:17:06.000 It's a great question.

00:17:07.000 I don't know much about that, but Blake knows everything, so I will hand it off in a second.

00:17:11.000 But I will say, my focus on healthcare is two things.

00:17:16.000 Whatever system can make it more transparent for the customer to know what they're buying and what they're purchasing.

00:17:22.000 And number two, root causes.

00:17:24.000 We are a fat country. 1.00

00:17:26.000 We are a sick country. 1.00

00:17:27.000 We are overweight.

00:17:28.000 We are, and Blake will laugh, but we're eating food we should not be eating, and we need to get our nutrition in order.

00:17:34.000 We have to be more active.

00:17:35.000 In my personal opinion, dealing with output on health care costs, we need to deal with the input of root causes.

00:17:41.000 Blake, educate me and the audience on the Singaporean Nordic muscle.

00:17:44.000 So I'm picking up a lot of, I don't know it all off the top of my head.

00:17:48.000 I know it is a public-private hybrid, actually, a lot like the United States.

00:17:54.000 I think a lot of that, their system involves basically private actor... I actually don't want to run my mouth because I don't know too much about Singapore is off the top of my head.

00:18:04.000 I do know they have a public-private hybrid.

00:18:06.000 From what I know is that primary care at government hospitals is heavily subsidized and sometimes even free, but there also is a deluxe care in private rooms.

00:18:16.000 Germany has a very similar model.

00:18:18.000 A lot of systems do.

00:18:19.000 It's very funny because I know more about the U.S.

00:18:23.000 system, of course, and I think with the U.S.

00:18:25.000 you'll see a lot of people look enviously to Canada and look to the United Kingdom, probably because they're both English-speaking countries.

00:18:32.000 And as far as more socialized healthcare systems go, neither of them is particularly great.

00:18:38.000 Angst about the decline of their healthcare systems is widespread, especially in Britain.

00:18:43.000 Britain, the NHS has gotten very dysfunctional over the years in terms of

00:18:48.000 overcrowding, shortage of doctors, cost overruns, all of those things.

00:18:54.000 With the US, I feel like the prospects of change in the US, the biggest problem we

00:18:59.000 have is it's just such a behemoth with so many entrenched interests. It's like

00:19:05.000 how do you break that apart?

00:19:08.000 And, you know, we're very allergic to any big change because we sort of want everyone to be a winner, and you cannot break a system as large as the United States without there being some big losers.

00:19:20.000 In a lot of other countries, doctors get paid a lot less.

00:19:23.000 Well, okay, so any system that lowers costs is probably going to mean doctors here get paid a lot less, but a lot of them were in a ton of debt.

00:19:29.000 They went to school for an extremely long time.

00:19:32.000 So how do you really ever fix all of that?

00:19:35.000 I'm not sure.

00:19:36.000 I feel like I could easily imagine, you know, maybe Kamala wins or some Sanders disciple wins later and we get Medicare for all as they aspire to.

00:19:45.000 And I think if we got that, people would be very disappointed in the outcome.

00:19:49.000 America has a tremendous ability to spend a lot of money on problems and Not really get much for it, and healthcare is a symptom of that as much as anything.

00:20:01.000 I agree with you.

00:20:02.000 I think the single most important thing is the reason US healthcare is so flawed is there is a big disconnect between obtaining a service and actually paying for it.

00:20:13.000 There's not a lot of legibility about what the price of things is.

00:20:16.000 And I mean the entire concept of health insurance as we do it is pretty bizarre.

00:20:21.000 Like you basically pay a flat fee for almost all health care you would ever receive.

00:20:26.000 And after that point you have an incentive to really get as much health care as you possibly can.

00:20:31.000 And it would just make a lot more sense, frankly, for most people to just be

00:20:36.000 paying for these services that they're actually going to get.

00:20:40.000 And it's kind of no surprise that the one part of American healthcare that works pretty much great is plastic surgery.

00:20:46.000 Because most plastic surgery is not covered by insurance.

00:20:48.000 It's a cash industry.

00:20:50.000 So it's way cheaper, way more efficient.

00:20:52.000 Very transparent.

00:20:53.000 All very transparent.

00:20:55.000 And that system works great.

00:20:56.000 And if you could migrate our system towards that, It would be good, but there's so many entrenched actors.

00:21:01.000 Late eye surgery is very similar.

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:03.000 Because it's largely elective.

00:21:05.000 Now, to be clear, we have the best acute care in the world.

00:21:09.000 We have some of the worst chronic care.

00:21:11.000 So acute is like gunshot wound, appendix, kidney, heart attack.

00:21:15.000 If you have a heart attack in most American hospitals, you have a much better chance of surviving than even most European countries.

00:21:20.000 However, chronic is a different problem.

00:21:22.000 Phillip is here.

00:21:23.000 Phillip, thank you for being a member.

00:21:25.000 What's up?

00:21:26.000 How are you, brother?

00:21:26.000 Hey, Charlie.

00:21:27.000 Good, how are you?

00:21:28.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:21:29.000 Hey, I am so glad to hear your voice getting stronger.

00:21:34.000 The podcast, Blake's done a great job helping, but it's good to hear that voice getting stronger.

00:21:40.000 Thank you.

00:21:41.000 It has been a journey this week, but we're getting better, praise God.

00:21:45.000 Well, as my question is, I'm a small business owner.

00:21:51.000 We've been in business since 1977.

00:21:52.000 We're a recreational vehicle dealer.

00:21:57.000 So interest rates and things like that have been really tough on us, but we do have our MAGA hats out on our desk.

00:22:06.000 I've got my TPUSA MAGA hat on my desk.

00:22:10.000 Uh, we do our best to be as courteous as we can be to everybody.

00:22:16.000 We don't, we don't want to argue and this and that, but as I think as small business owners, we do have to let people know where we stand, and on the other part of it is, I think that we do, on the Christian side of it, we send up too many prayer flares. 0.63

00:22:40.000 We need to... I'm like you, Charlie.

00:22:40.000 You know?

00:22:43.000 I pray very short, to the point, and move on.

00:22:47.000 That's just how I'm wired, but I think too many of us just prayer flare it up.

00:22:54.000 Hey, save Trump, do this.

00:22:55.000 We have to be more, you know, more concise in what we're praying for.

00:23:02.000 And do you have any suggestions on maybe how to help convince our customers of what we know is the right thing to do in November?

00:23:14.000 The first thing is this, when it comes to prayer flares—I love that, I'm going to use it—this is my view of prayer, which is that God listens to us, God heals us, God comforts us.

00:23:14.000 Sure.

00:23:27.000 And I learned this from Dennis Prager, who is a religious Jew, but to his credit, he's correct. 1.00

00:23:32.000 You should not look at God as a celestial butler who is there just to give you what you want when you want it.

00:23:38.000 And I think that's exactly the right way.

00:23:40.000 If you just look at God and you're like, hey God, I need a promotion at work and I need my car to be fixed, I think that is very, very minimizing of God and it's insulting to God, to be perfectly honest.

00:23:49.000 Instead, I think that our prayer and our action should be much more about what God wants from us versus what we want from God.

00:23:59.000 And I think that's very, very important.

00:24:01.000 Okay, as far as, Blake, do you have any wisdom to share about how he could share to his customers of how they should make the right decision in November?

00:24:08.000 I'm not sure.

00:24:10.000 First of all, just on the prayer thing, I do want to add a favorite prayer of mine.

00:24:13.000 This is popular with, like, Eastern Orthodox Christians.

00:24:16.000 It originated with, like, the early monastics, but it's the Jesus prayer.

00:24:20.000 Just, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

00:24:24.000 And you can just repeat that.

00:24:25.000 Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.

00:24:27.000 Have mercy on me, a sinner.

00:24:29.000 And it's kind of a hypnotic one, so not necessarily— Repetition prayer is okay.

00:24:34.000 And it's a good one for reminding you of your status, you know, via the God.

00:24:39.000 You are a sinner who does require God's mercy, not just God's, you know, life coach advice.

00:24:39.000 Yes.

00:24:44.000 Or like my stock portfolio to be increased.

00:24:47.000 Exactly.

00:24:48.000 And now regarding the customer thing.

00:24:52.000 It's difficult because I haven't met them face to face.

00:24:55.000 Usually I'd say one of the best things you can do is just by being a like good

00:25:02.000 and likable person who happens to be linked with that agenda, that ideology.

00:25:08.000 I think this is a, this is a sad thing to say, but I think that Joe Biden was able

00:25:14.000 to benefit in 22 when he ran against MAGA Republicans and he benefited from the

00:25:20.000 perception that a lot of Trump supporters were like violent.

00:25:26.000 They really played up January 6th stuff, or they will play up any ugly story they can

00:25:31.000 about Trump supporters.

00:25:32.000 And a lot of this is defamation.

00:25:33.000 Like, I mean, obviously all that Jussie Smollett hate crime nonsense, that's all fake.

00:25:37.000 But the way you can debunk any false narrative is by presenting a true narrative, by being

00:25:42.000 a really good person yourself and tethering positive associations with yourself and with

00:25:50.000 the causes you believe in.

00:25:54.000 that becomes more direct.

00:25:56.000 No one really likes being lectured to.

00:25:58.000 We've seen some major companies learn that to their dismay, and I don't know that if someone's on the fence that they'll really appreciate being lectured, but maybe they do.

00:26:09.000 I guess I'm not a small business owner, so I'm not an expert on that relationship.

00:26:13.000 Thank you so much.

00:26:14.000 God bless you.

00:26:15.000 I love your way about life.

00:26:17.000 So God bless you, man.

00:26:18.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:26:19.000 Larry, thank you for being a member.

00:26:21.000 What is on your mind?

00:26:22.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.

00:26:24.000 Hello, Charlie.

00:26:26.000 I just want to make a comment about you were talking about the healthcare system.

00:26:31.000 I've been in the VA since I retired.

00:26:35.000 I retired like in 2014.

00:26:38.000 I worked at Briggs & Stratton for 20 years.

00:26:40.000 I got a pension from them.

00:26:43.000 I've lived in Milwaukee County most of my life except for when I was in basic training.

00:26:49.000 in the Air Force and Wisconsin Air National Guard, but I noticed that since the VA's taken over after Biden got elected, it's everything text you.

00:26:59.000 My regular doctor retired in May of this year, and now they have medical assistance or whatever, and you don't even see a doctor anymore.

00:27:12.000 So when I get my drugs and that, they text me, if you want a refill and they say yes or whatever, but it's really gone downhill since Biden's administration's taken over.

00:27:27.000 It just seems like the VA is pretty woke now.

00:27:31.000 It is, and I'll tell you, the VA is a tragedy.

00:27:35.000 It's a disaster.

00:27:36.000 I'm not for Medicare for All, but I will say, this is one of my more radical views, I think you should close the VA and give every veteran a Medicare card.

00:27:44.000 Would you agree, Blake?

00:27:45.000 I mean, it's a relic of a period where we had way more veterans, because we used to

00:27:50.000 have, you know, it was World War II and half the men in the country that generation served.

00:27:56.000 And now, you know, being a veteran is a much more, it's a smaller group of people and getting

00:28:02.000 smaller all of the time.

00:28:04.000 And so maintaining a giant national dedicated special subset of hospitals for them, it's

00:28:10.000 a lot less efficient.

00:28:11.000 And yeah, I think I agree.

00:28:13.000 It would probably make more sense to just basically pay for them to work within our

00:28:17.000 normal system, which does broadly work.

00:28:19.000 Give every vet what's called a vet card, and you can go to any hospital, it's paid for.

00:28:23.000 And then just close it.

00:28:24.000 The VA is like a hundred billion dollars a year now.

00:28:27.000 And it's this monstrosity of government health care, and it's slow, and it's bureaucratic, and it's outdated, and it's a disservice to our heroes and our veterans.

00:28:27.000 Yeah.

00:28:38.000 So I think you just give every VA, a veteran a VA card, a vet card, just like Medicare for All, and they can go anywhere.

00:28:46.000 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.

00:28:56.000 It's time to try Relief Factor.

00:28:58.000 And the good news is Relief Factor makes it quite easy.

00:29:45.000 Arjun is next.

00:29:46.000 Arjun, thank you for being a member.

00:29:47.000 What's on your mind?

00:29:49.000 Can you hear me?

00:29:49.000 Hello?

00:29:50.000 Yes, how are you?

00:29:51.000 I'm doing great.

00:29:53.000 I've been a fan of you since July.

00:29:55.000 I've been watching your videos and I've been a huge fan of your work for Turning Point USA.

00:30:01.000 I read your book recently, The Right-Wing Revolution.

00:30:05.000 I really am inspired by you and want to really make a difference in politics.

00:30:10.000 So when I talk politics with my friends, it's kind of hard to convince them about why they should vote for Trump and they kind of just have their own way of saying that they support their own candidate by kind of talking about Trump in a negative light.

00:30:26.000 So I was wondering what do you suggest is the best way to like argue for Trump, like show them the truth about him and How can I help them realize that the media is lying and very biased?

00:30:39.000 If that makes sense.

00:30:40.000 Here's my framing, which is this.

00:30:42.000 You're not voting for Trump.

00:30:44.000 You're voting for the roster of 5,000 people that are going to run your government over the next four years.

00:30:50.000 And do you want those people more with a worldview that believe in borders, that believe in parental rights, that believe in the Constitution, that believe in sane foreign policy, or in the Kamala Harris direction, which is the exact opposite?

00:31:01.000 You're voting for a vision of what America should be.

00:31:05.000 Exactly.

00:31:05.000 And that 5,000 people means a lot more than just Donald Trump's social media postings or the personality associated.

00:31:12.000 The Democrats know they lose this election.

00:31:15.000 The Democrats know they lose this election if it's about worldview.

00:31:20.000 The Democrats' worldview is increasingly unpopular with swing voters and moderate voters.

00:31:25.000 It's one of a weakened America, of a looted America, of a damaged country, of an economically dependent, not energy, independent. 0.75

00:31:35.000 I mean, their worldview is they'd rather have Kamala Harris dance all over the place. 0.99

00:31:38.000 And so it is that 5,000 person roster.

00:31:43.000 Let's play Cut 186.

00:31:44.000 I think I said it even more eloquently.

00:31:46.000 This was at our Make America Healthy Again event with Bobby Kennedy last week.

00:31:52.000 Jeez, my goodness.

00:31:53.000 We are doing a lot of stuff right now.

00:31:54.000 Play Cut 186.

00:31:56.000 You're not voting for Trump.

00:31:58.000 You're voting for 5,000 people that will run your government.

00:32:00.000 Do you think that Donald Trump will assemble 5,000 better people, more in line with your worldview, maybe not perfect, or Kamala Harris?

00:32:06.000 That's what's on the ticket.

00:32:08.000 It is a team of 5,000 people.

00:32:11.000 And that goes from everything, from the Department of Defense, to the border, to all these issues.

00:32:15.000 And they want to try to personalize this election in the media.

00:32:19.000 They want to try to make you feel emotional about something Trump said or did not say.

00:32:23.000 But we will win if we can rise above that and say, hey, you have Bobby Kennedy involved in a presidential transition team of who's going to be at the FDA, the CDC, the NIH.

00:32:34.000 I mean...

00:32:36.000 That's a game changer.

00:32:37.000 This is the Avengers team.

00:32:39.000 Tulsi Gabbard.

00:32:40.000 Tulsi is the former co-chair of the DNC just a couple years ago.

00:32:44.000 You got Elon Musk, who is the world's wealthiest man and is a free thinker and used to be an Obama supporter.

00:32:49.000 Of course, Bobby Kennedy.

00:32:51.000 And I think it's really something for those of us that can see what's really going on in the country.

00:32:55.000 Beyond just the media news cycle and the chatter on cable TV, we know that we are at risk of losing our country because there's an unelected oligarchy that is making decisions for health, for border, for war, and this is our opportunity.

00:33:10.000 Our framers gave us this, especially here in Arizona, because these electoral votes are going to matter a lot.

00:33:15.000 They're going to say, hey, you could take back those 5,000 positions.

00:33:20.000 You can all of a sudden say, no, Anthony Fauci, all of your minions are gone in the FDA.

00:33:24.000 They're gone.

00:33:26.000 That is how I would answer that.

00:33:27.000 Thank you for being a member.

00:33:28.000 Really appreciate it.

00:33:29.000 Okay, let's get to the next question here.

00:33:30.000 Emily, thank you for being a member.

00:33:33.000 It means a lot.

00:33:33.000 Emily, what's on your mind?

00:33:35.000 Hey, Charlie.

00:33:36.000 I had a question about actually something you and Blake talked about earlier this week here in Alabama.

00:33:42.000 We have a massive Haitian invasion, as I call it, going on all across the state. 1.00

00:33:48.000 I'm in the Madison-Huntsville area, and we don't have it right here, but we have it everywhere else. 0.63

00:33:54.000 And I, I don't know what we do about it because these people are federally protected, but we're hearing stories about 13 year old girls being raped and ending up pregnant by their rapist.

00:34:04.000 A story came out today about a 16 year old that was at a car wash and she was being basically stopped by 1 of these people.

00:34:13.000 Somebody filed a police report about a man lurking between houses at night.

00:34:17.000 Filed a police report, went to the police department the next day to kind of follow up, and they're told all of these things are not tracked locally.

00:34:25.000 We're having to send them to a federal agency.

00:34:28.000 What do we do about all of this?

00:34:30.000 Like, it's just heartbreaking seeing what's happening in our communities, and I feel like we have no options on how to fight back.

00:34:36.000 Yeah, it's a very important question.

00:34:38.000 I'm going to play a piece of tape here in a second, but this is by design.

00:34:41.000 The Harris-Biden regime, they are stuffing foreigners in the reddest communities across the country, in small-town red America, I think partially as revenge.

00:34:53.000 Blake might not agree with this, but I think that they get, like, off on this sinister, like, we're going to go send the Haitians into red America. 1.00

00:35:00.000 Maybe a bit of that.

00:35:01.000 Maybe a bit of that.

00:35:01.000 I think there's an element there.

00:35:02.000 You can't convince me.

00:35:03.000 I have no evidence of that, but it's just gut instinct.

00:35:05.000 I'm not going to get into what states can do to resist this yet, because I want to win the election and do this properly to the federal government.

00:35:14.000 If we lose in November, it's going to get very, very messy.

00:35:17.000 I'm just going to be honest.

00:35:18.000 It's going to get messy of states being… Especially if they start packing the courts.

00:35:22.000 Then you really have to start thinking, like, okay, what are we going to do about this truly out of control, once and all?

00:35:28.000 Do we have a country at that point?

00:35:29.000 Yeah.

00:35:30.000 And I don't want to get there yet, Emily. 0.99

00:35:32.000 But Emily, just so you were clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night, it's only going to get worse unless Donald Trump wins. 1.00

00:35:41.000 A new report from Fox News shows that across the border, 13,000 people convicted of murder, 15,000 people convicted of rape on the non-detained list, meaning they're currently roaming free around our country. 0.56

00:35:55.000 So right now, roaming free on the interior of the United States are 13,000 convicted murderers.

00:36:02.000 15,000 convicted rapists.

00:36:03.000 And they're just, they're having a field day.

00:36:05.000 And they're coming for your daughter next.

00:36:06.000 Let's play Cut 183.

00:36:08.000 According to a letter that the acting director of ICE just sent to Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez, on ICE's non-detained docket, they're currently tracking 425,000 non-citizens who have been convicted of a crime.

00:36:22.000 of the country.

00:36:23.000 The number of non-citizens convicted of a crime is

00:36:25.000 increasing.

00:36:26.000 We have over 35,000 non-citizens who have been

00:36:28.000 convicted of a crime.

00:36:29.000 Of that number, over 13,000 non-citizens have convictions

00:36:31.000 for homicide and are on the non-detained docket, meaning

00:36:33.000 they are roaming the country right now.

00:36:35.000 On the other hand, we have a number of non-citizens

00:36:37.000 who are convicted of On top of that, there are another 15,811 non-citizens convicted of sexual assault.

00:36:46.000 who are roaming the country right now on ICE's non-detained docket.

00:36:50.000 It doesn't stop there.

00:36:52.000 Those are convictions.

00:36:53.000 The ICE director also says there are currently just under 1,900 non-citizens on the non-detained docket who have pending homicide charges who are roaming the country, and another 4,250 non-citizens who have pending sexual assault charges who are roaming the country on the non-detained docket.

00:37:16.000 I want you to understand this.

00:37:19.000 That means that they're coming across the border, they run a background check, or someone knows, and then they say, just have fun.

00:37:25.000 That's what that means.

00:37:26.000 That means that we know who they are.

00:37:28.000 And then we just release them into the interior and say... It just shocks me, like, the level of control you can have over media narrative that, like, you know, the New York Times or whoever can blow this off.

00:37:38.000 13,000 homicide convictions just roaming the U.S.

00:37:42.000 as an elective policy choice.

00:37:45.000 And the election is close.

00:37:48.000 I mean, the election is close.

00:37:50.000 It's very close.

00:37:51.000 And there was a poll that just showed up here.

00:37:53.000 Arizona women voters favor Kamala Harris 52%, 43%. 1.00

00:37:56.000 And that does not include the 2 million gotaways.

00:38:00.000 And since those are the border jumpers who avoid border encounters, it's safe to conclude the proportion of convicted criminals is even higher than that, 2 million plus of them.

00:38:08.000 Thank you for being a member and stay safe in Alabama and pray Trump wins or else things are going to get really bad.

00:38:13.000 They're going to get even worse.

00:38:14.000 There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters. 1.00

00:38:19.000 Tim, Tim, thank you for being a member.

00:38:21.000 What's on your mind?

00:38:22.000 Hey, Charlie, is it okay if I weigh in on the getting close to God question before mine?

00:38:26.000 Of course, absolutely.

00:38:27.000 I've had two things that made me think of this as you guys were talking.

00:38:30.000 So one of the things that has really helped me in the last couple of years is I've started I struggle with just making time to read the Bible on a daily basis.

00:38:39.000 I would just get busy and didn't get to it.

00:38:41.000 And so I listen to podcasts a lot while I take a shower, while I'm doing stuff.

00:38:44.000 I'm like, you know, I'm going to devote my shower time to listening to God's Word.

00:38:49.000 So I've just got the Bible app that probably everybody has, the Holy Bible with the brown.

00:38:54.000 And it's got an audio version on there.

00:38:56.000 And so I just put on my Bluetooth speaker.

00:38:58.000 And so every morning I get 15 to 20 minutes just kind of while I'm getting ready and doing stuff.

00:39:02.000 That has been a big blessing to me.

00:39:04.000 I've gotten through the Bible twice now, and I'm on my third time through within a fairly short period of time.

00:39:09.000 So, huge blessing for me.

00:39:12.000 And the other thing, related to what you were saying about struggling with prayer time, and what has really helped me is to pull up a Word document.

00:39:22.000 Sometimes you tell people you'll pray for them, you'll pray about this, and then you forget and you don't do it.

00:39:27.000 But I got to where it's like, okay, I'm going to open a Word document, And I just put those requests on there.

00:39:32.000 And then I put a time on my calendar.

00:39:33.000 It's like, okay, take 15 minutes and just spend that in prayer.

00:39:37.000 Because my mind wonders if I don't have a list in front of me and I kind of go off and I lose track.

00:39:42.000 But with that Word document, it keeps me focused.

00:39:45.000 I'm praying for you.

00:39:46.000 I'm praying for President Trump.

00:39:48.000 I'm praying for election integrity.

00:39:49.000 Just a ton of things.

00:39:50.000 15 minutes goes by very quickly.

00:39:52.000 And my prayer starts off with something that I got from somebody.

00:39:55.000 It's like, I don't want to forget this.

00:39:56.000 I want to pray this prayer and this.

00:39:59.000 God, please send me daily opportunities to speak for you and help me be a bold and compassionate witness for you and your son.

00:40:06.000 Amen.

00:40:08.000 Please empty me of all my fears and anxiety and fill me with your powerful spirit.

00:40:12.000 So that's just been a great blessing to me.

00:40:15.000 How has that helped your life?

00:40:16.000 How has that deepened your walk with Christ?

00:40:19.000 I think it creates, well, one, just hearing the Word on a daily basis.

00:40:23.000 It's just that there are those reminders, those things that challenge you, sometimes those things that make you uncomfortable because they push you, that turning the other cheek, those hard things that are hard to do.

00:40:32.000 But just hearing God's Word, there's power in that.

00:40:35.000 And the more I've listened to it, the more I've come to realize that.

00:40:38.000 And then the prayer time, it's just, you know, it's you develop a relationship by talking to someone and so and kind of listening.

00:40:48.000 And so that's, I've gotten to where it's like, it brings peace into my day.

00:40:53.000 And it's like, there's an old gospel song, Sweet Hour of Prayer.

00:40:58.000 And I don't have a sweet hour, I have a sweet 15 minutes.

00:40:59.000 But, but I mean, I've kind of, I've gotten to where I just, I look forward to it with joy.

00:41:05.000 It's like, I'm going to carve out some time, I'm just going to talk to my father.

00:41:09.000 for a little bit.

00:41:10.000 I'm going to, and just to be able to kind of, yeah, there's these things that we're dealing with in this world are so discouraging, but, uh, just to be able to, it's like, it's just him and me and we're just talking and there's a piece that comes with that.

00:41:22.000 Well, thank you, man.

00:41:23.000 What, uh, what is your question?

00:41:24.000 That was really beautiful, but what's your question?

00:41:26.000 Yeah, yeah, no, no.

00:41:27.000 So, um, the podcast this week with RFK Jr you did and Callie means was just, I mean, it was fantastic.

00:41:34.000 And I mean, I was so impacted by that.

00:41:36.000 I was like, I've got to get this message out to friends.

00:41:39.000 I'm doing the Share podcast.

00:41:41.000 I'm texting it to friends.

00:41:42.000 I'm texting it to family.

00:41:43.000 And I just thought, can you guys, I'm wondering what metrics you guys have that you can see.

00:41:49.000 Oh, wow, this is really striking a chord.

00:41:52.000 I mean, you can see when social posts go viral, are you able to see, you know, which of your podcasts seem to kind of resonate, get traction, get spread?

00:41:59.000 So I just kind of, kind of a nerd question, but I was wondering if you guys... Yeah, that one did very well.

00:42:04.000 Yeah, we track everything.

00:42:06.000 We obviously don't publicize all the numbers, but our numbers are at record right now.

00:42:09.000 We're number eight right now on Apple Podcast News.

00:42:12.000 That episode did very well.

00:42:13.000 The entire health, wellness, Cali means, Make America Healthy Again, is incredibly powerful.

00:42:19.000 And the young lady we had on yesterday, Alex Clark, who works with us at Turning Point USA, her show is right now number two in all health podcasts.

00:42:27.000 And she's just blowing up to the moon. 1.00

00:42:29.000 I love Alex.

00:42:30.000 Yeah, isn't Alex great?

00:42:31.000 So, she's terrific.

00:42:33.000 And so, this whole kind of genre that we're seeing about restoration of self-sovereignty, eating healthy, eating clean, getting your life in order, no longer being a subservient serf to big pharma or big food, increasingly popular.

00:42:46.000 Got to run.

00:42:47.000 Thank you so much.

00:42:48.000 Really appreciate it.

00:42:48.000 Okay.

00:42:48.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:42:49.000 Thank you, Blake.

00:42:49.000 Thank you.

00:42:51.000 Daisy says, I can confirm from the numbers that the RFK CaliMeans podcast did very well.

00:42:56.000 Laura, thank you for being a member.

00:42:57.000 You are our final question today.

00:43:00.000 What is on your mind?

00:43:01.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:43:02.000 I'm so excited to be here.

00:43:04.000 This is my first time calling in.

00:43:05.000 I am pretty active in my community as far as getting out the vote, and I have found I've actually made little cards with websites that Like-minded people can go to and be able to fill out their ballot.

00:43:23.000 And I found that a lot of conservatives, they'll vote for Trump or Republican, but they don't know how to vote for a judge or vote for a school board member.

00:43:31.000 And down ballot, they just have no clue.

00:43:34.000 They don't have time to look.

00:43:37.000 So everywhere I go, grocery store, gym, wherever, if I hear people talking that are like-minded, like myself, I will give them a little But a little card that has some suggested websites, I hand them out to my people in my Bible study wherever I can.

00:43:56.000 And I just spread the word as much as I can.

00:43:58.000 And I even take a picture of it, send it through text, whatever I can do.

00:44:04.000 And they're so thankful because they have no clue.

00:44:07.000 how to vote down ballot. They just haven't done the study.

00:44:11.000 So here's my question. I have friends and relatives out of state, and I would love to

00:44:17.000 point them in the right direction to help them vote for the right school board members or judges, DAs,

00:44:23.000 or propositions, whatever that is.

00:44:25.000 So is there a website that's out there that your listeners, anyone from any state can go to

00:44:32.000 and get help voting? What state do you live in?

00:44:36.000 I live in California.

00:44:38.000 I'm one of those that's holding out.

00:44:41.000 And I get a lot of people, this is what I get a lot of, oh, we're never going to win.

00:44:46.000 I don't even know why we're voting.

00:44:48.000 I get a lot of people like that.

00:44:50.000 And then I remind them that we, our state was the one that, you know, helped win.

00:44:57.000 The house, right?

00:44:58.000 So we can do it.

00:45:01.000 We can move the needle.

00:45:03.000 I keep telling people, don't give up, don't give up.

00:45:06.000 But there are a lot of people out here that are conservative.

00:45:09.000 So what part of California do you live in?

00:45:11.000 I live in Orange.

00:45:12.000 Orange County, great.

00:45:13.000 So I will connect you with some grassroots activists at the Lincoln Club in Orange County that do exhaustive voter guides and they can send them to you about every downed ballot recommendation.

00:45:23.000 So that's why I asked.

00:45:25.000 So Daisy, can you get that done?

00:45:28.000 And so I'll send it to you so you'll be able to print it out, photocopy it, make copies.

00:45:35.000 I think it'd be really helpful for you.

00:45:36.000 So thank you.

00:45:37.000 Okay, thank you so much.

00:45:39.000 Thanks so much for listening everybody.

00:45:40.000 Email us as always freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:45:42.000 Thanks so much for listening and God bless.
