00:02:13.000 Blake right now is furiously studying.

00:02:15.000 Gotta read all about the seven kings of Rome, the Gracchi brothers.

00:02:19.000 All right. First question is, Jeff, thank you for being a member.

00:02:23.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.

00:02:25.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.

00:02:26.000 Jeff, thank you for being a member.

00:02:28.000 What's on your mind? Hello, Charlie.

00:02:30.000 I am a retired physician, and I recently was inspired when I watched you moderate the MAHA conversation with RFK Jr.

00:02:39.000 and Kevin Means. I also was a volunteer to go over all the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine preclinical trial data.

00:02:50.000 And had a 180 in my whole view about the FDA and the CDC, whom most of us felt betrayed us.

00:02:58.000 So I would like to get involved with the team that RFK Jr.

00:03:03.000 is putting together. And my question to you is, what's the best way to contact the right person to offer my services?

00:03:12.000 Yeah, first of all, thank you.

00:03:13.000 I'm going to answer that question in a second.

00:03:15.000 But can you just inform the audience, what was it about the preclinical trials that opened your eyes as a physician?

00:03:20.000 I'm guessing in your career as a physician, you generally had trusted the FDA and vaccine technology and vetting.

00:03:26.000 I'm guessing, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but what was it about that that really animated you?

00:03:31.000 Please tell the audience. I did trust those institutions for most of my career.

00:03:36.000 I was a pediatric anesthesiologist.

00:03:39.000 But as we were going through the trial data, these were very technical people, and we would meet every week on a Zoom call.

00:03:47.000 And as each week went by, we discovered more and more how The data had been hidden.

00:03:55.000 Pfizer went out of their way to obscure and hide the damaging data.

00:04:02.000 I, for example, found out that the vaccine efficacy started to wane at three months, but they didn't talk about that.

00:04:12.000 It was not efficacious at all.

00:04:14.000 So as time went on, we became more and more shocked and felt a sense of betrayal.

00:04:21.000 That's what happened.

00:04:22.000 Yeah, that's amazing.

00:04:24.000 And I just, first of all, I mean, you being a pediatric anesthesiologist, are you retired or you're still practicing?

00:04:30.000 I'm retired now.

00:04:31.000 Well, that's quite a level, an accomplishment to get to.

00:04:34.000 Anesthesiology in its core is hard, let alone getting to the level of pediatric.

00:04:39.000 And so you know what you're talking about. And so to answer your question directly, we have your information.

00:04:42.000 I will connect you with Bobby Kennedy's team directly and we'll get you on the roster.

00:04:47.000 And so what is being done right now is that Bobby Kennedy, Cali means, they are developing

00:04:52.000 an all-star team, a roster, if you will, of people that are willing to serve in the FDA

00:04:57.000 and the CDC.

00:04:58.000 I'm guessing you'd be one of those people to, you know, help out in the federal government

00:05:03.000 to try to get truth, transparency, and integrity back to our regulatory agencies.

00:05:08.000 I don't want to speak for you, Jeff, but I'm guessing that's what you're asking, right?

00:05:11.000 No, that's exactly what you talked about with Mr.

00:05:14.000 Kennedy and Callie Means.

00:05:16.000 I agree with everything.

00:05:17.000 I've been dismayed for quite some time about the poor state of our healthcare system and what the big ag has been able to do to our food supply compared to Europe and other countries.

00:05:30.000 I'm no Robert Malone or Peter McCullough, but I understand how to read the data.

00:05:36.000 I understand the issues.

00:05:38.000 And I'm 70 years old, but I'm in pretty good shape.

00:05:41.000 And I feel like this is so important that I would like to offer my services, come out of retirement, do what I can to help our country.

00:05:51.000 Well, God bless you, Jeff. I will connect you.

00:05:53.000 Thank you for being a member. And that was very insightful.

00:05:55.000 And I agree with you.

00:05:56.000 My entire life, I was generally trusting of what the FDA was saying around vaccine efficacy, technology, and adverse events.

00:06:05.000 And during COVID, a lot of eyes were open, myself included.

00:06:08.000 I'm far from an expert. I'm a layman on this stuff.

00:06:10.000 But you are an expert.

00:06:11.000 People just don't understand what Jeff's job was.

00:06:14.000 Jeff's job was to basically put kids under anesthesia successfully and safely when they were getting operated on.

00:06:24.000 He had probably thousands of kids' lives in his hands.

00:06:27.000 So Jeff, God bless you for your service.

00:06:29.000 Happy to connect you off here.

00:06:30.000 Thank you, Jeff, for being a member. Thank you.

00:06:32.000 Okay, let's go to Katie. 0.99

00:06:34.000 Katie, thank you for being a member.

00:06:35.000 What's on your mind? Hey, Charlie.

00:06:37.000 So I'm wondering, I know that you're obviously on college campuses a lot and you're engaging with young men and young women a lot.

00:06:45.000 So I know that you've said you're seeing a lot of very, very liberal young women and more of a swing towards conservatism on the men's side.

00:06:55.000 I'm wondering what your take is on what's contributing to that.

00:06:59.000 And then also, as a young woman, how can You know, speak to the young women who follow you.

00:07:05.000 How can we engage with the more undecided female voters and even the more liberal voters? 1.00

00:07:12.000 First of all, thank you for that.

00:07:13.000 It's so interesting. I've received that question three times this week.

00:07:17.000 And I'm not at all upset.

00:07:19.000 It's just really telling to me this is top of mind.

00:07:21.000 And I got this question at Dream City.

00:07:23.000 I got this question yesterday in Canyon, Texas.

00:07:27.000 And then from you. New York Times article also reaffirms that.

00:07:30.000 Can you pull up that New York Times article, Blake, that I sent about young women?

00:07:33.000 And so the New York Times article was exploring, what is it?

00:07:36.000 Why are young ladies becoming so liberal? 1.00

00:07:38.000 It's hard for me to summarize kind of what I said recently at the events, but let me just say this.

00:07:42.000 It is largely because of the content and the role models that young men are looking up to and young ladies are looking up to.

00:07:51.000 Young men are looking up to people like Jordan Peterson, like Matt Walsh.

00:07:55.000 They're looking up to shows like this one.

00:07:57.000 They're looking up the Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson, shows that really talk about the

00:08:02.000 divine, the eternal, the good, the beautiful, the conservative.

00:08:07.000 Young ladies do not have a similar canon of influencers that are in that tradition.

00:08:13.000 Instead, the cultural icons or influencers that young ladies largely look up to, with 0.99

00:08:18.000 some exceptions like Allie Stuckey, so on and so forth, are ones that it's all about

00:08:22.000 career advancement, it is about self, it is about bodily autonomy, it is about free sex. 0.97

00:08:28.000 It is about freezing your eggs.

00:08:31.000 It is about a rejection of those norms.

00:08:33.000 I think women are more pro-social, so I think the sort of very intense propaganda explosion that you got from about 2016 onwards, both about Trump being a fascist Nazi Hitler and the kind of racism obsession and Me Too, all of these sort of I think?

00:09:10.000 It's made a lot of them very mentally unwell.

00:09:13.000 We've all seen those charts where liberal young women, more than half of them have some sort of psychiatric diagnosis. 1.00

00:09:21.000 And so you have older crazy people making younger people crazy. 0.97

00:09:26.000 COVID hits made them even crazier. 0.97

00:09:28.000 George Floyd made them even crazier.

00:09:30.000 And so you have a lot of people who have...

00:09:33.000 Genuinely a lot of problems, and we're sympathetic to them, of course, but they're also sort of, they're causing a lot of chaos.

00:09:41.000 Like, you know, people with disordered lives creating a disordered society. 1.00

00:09:44.000 Yeah, and I will say, so your question I want to get to specifically, the explanation I could go deeper and deeper into, and I will just add to this.

00:09:52.000 To Blake's point, young women are far more susceptible to social contagion.

00:09:56.000 Young ladies 75% of trans-identifying youth are women.

00:10:00.000 Women are more likely to get involved in suicide cults, to cut themselves, more likely to be involved in fads. 0.92

00:10:07.000 That's just the way God designed women versus men. 1.00

00:10:09.000 And liberalism is the new social contagion for young ladies and young women.

00:10:13.000 What can be done about it?

00:10:15.000 I do not know. I'll be very honest and very candid with you.

00:10:19.000 We have a ton of young ladies that support us when I go to these campuses. 1.00

00:10:23.000 It's obviously predominantly men, but there is a fair amount of young women that support us and run our chapters and get engaged and get involved.

00:10:31.000 However, the young ladies that don't like us, it's not just that they don't like us.

00:10:36.000 It is a venomous hatred.

00:10:37.000 I mean, it is wishing us death.

00:10:39.000 It is Really nasty and so my best piece of advice is probably just try to meet women where they're at and you have to argue on emotionality and not rationality because young ladies do not look at politics through reason or through deductive thinking it is hyper emotional and also incredibly narcissistic that's not an accusation but young ladies think about things first and foremost about themselves Not about society, not about culture, not about morals, but about what is best for me. 0.99

00:11:10.000 And the screed of that worldview, the culmination of that, is the ability to author life and to take life, which is abortion.

00:11:18.000 And that's why young ladies take abortion so seriously. 1.00

00:11:21.000 It's that I am in charge of death, not God.

00:11:25.000 I can control nature.

00:11:27.000 I hope that's helpful, and thank you for being a member.

00:11:28.000 We'll dive more into that topic, I'm sure, as we proceed.

00:11:31.000 Alright, this quiz session is brought to you by Hillsdale College, charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:11:36.000 That is charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:11:39.000 Alright, Blake, let me first set the table.

00:11:41.000 There are many, many Hillsdale online courses.

00:11:43.000 This one is called The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic.

00:11:47.000 Oh boy. All right. And so I have the quiz pulled up right here.

00:11:51.000 So at the end of all Hillsdale College courses are quizzes.

00:11:55.000 So I think I could get this one.

00:11:57.000 This is question one.

00:11:58.000 The territory of the Roman Empire was primarily acquired by...

00:12:03.000 The Roman Republic?

00:12:05.000 We'll find out if you're right at the end of the quiz.

00:12:07.000 Okay. All right. Rome is located along the blank river.

00:12:11.000 Tiber. Okay.

00:12:12.000 In 6th century BC, Rome was surrounded by the blank.

00:12:17.000 If you need the options, I can give them to you.

00:12:19.000 So it's multiple choice?

00:12:21.000 Correct. And there's an all of the above option, too.

00:12:24.000 I should probably list them, to be fair.

00:12:26.000 So they're going to say if it's 6th century, that's early enough.

00:12:30.000 The immediate people would be the Latins. 0.99

00:12:32.000 That's the people in Latium. If they go bigger, it would be Etruscans, because they had Etruscan kings of Rome.

00:12:38.000 And then, if they're having both of those as options, then there's a third one.

00:12:43.000 Is it Samnites? Yeah, so those are all three.

00:12:45.000 Alright, then it would be all three.

00:12:46.000 Okay, that's pretty impressive. Yeah, because they'll definitely have Latins and Etruscans at that time. 1.00

00:12:51.000 Samnites were in the hills kind of further away. 0.66

00:12:53.000 They fought them later, but they'll include them, I bet.

00:12:56.000 Okay, that's a big deal.

00:12:57.000 So, okay, that's really well done.

00:13:00.000 Okay, blank kings ruled over Rome for several centuries.

00:13:05.000 Is this the number?

00:13:07.000 No, no, no. So it's multiple.

00:13:09.000 Ethnic group? Etruscan kings. 0.79

00:13:11.000 Okay, great. At the beginning of the Roman Republic, southern Italy was dominated by what kind of colonies?

00:13:19.000 Greek. The Greeks failed to maintain control of the Mediterranean largely because the Greek city-states... 0.79

00:13:27.000 I need to read...

00:13:30.000 If you can get this... I mean, they fought each other.

00:13:32.000 They weren't a unified state, so they had to call him King Pyrrhus and stuff.

00:13:37.000 Literally, one of the options is struggle to unify.

00:13:40.000 Yeah, well, so... Struggle to unify.

00:13:42.000 They weren't one country.

00:13:43.000 They were all these city-states. So Rome was this big dog and kind of came in and beat them up.

00:13:47.000 Would you say that is correct? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:13:49.000 Carthage was a colony established by?

00:13:51.000 Phoenicians. That's not one of the options. 1.00

00:13:54.000 Is it like a specific city?

00:13:56.000 Yeah, it would be Sparta, Athens, Tyre.

00:13:59.000 Tyre. That's a Phoenician city. 0.98

00:14:02.000 The Phoenicians were primarily interested in?

00:14:06.000 They'll say trade.

00:14:08.000 That's mostly because we don't have other surviving texts, but they're going to say trade.

00:14:11.000 Okay. The Phoenicians...

00:14:13.000 This is true or false. The Phoenicians were admired by the Mediterranean neighbors for their trading prowess and devout religious beliefs.

00:14:19.000 They're going to say true or false?

00:14:21.000 I bet they're going to say false because the Phoenicians are the ones who did the sacrifices to...

00:14:27.000 Like Moloch. Like child sacrifice.

00:14:30.000 They were always... Everyone would trash the Phoenicians because they did human sacrifice. 0.97

00:14:34.000 Like they sacrificed babies to Baal and all of that. 0.98

00:14:37.000 So I'm going to say false. You would say they were not admired.

00:14:39.000 Okay. Yeah. They were kind of despised for it.

00:14:42.000 True or false. The conquest of Phoenicia by Alexander the Great gave Carthage a strategic advantage over Rome in the contest to control the Mediterranean.

00:14:51.000 I'm going to say... Gave Carthage an advantage?

00:14:55.000 It's very wordy. I'm going to say false because those would be natural allies of theirs and they were like wiped out.

00:15:01.000 That's a weird question, but I'll say false.

00:15:03.000 Okay, you ready for how you did? Alright, how'd we do?

00:15:06.000 Blake Neff scored 100%.

00:15:07.000 Oh yeah! There's more to come.

00:15:10.000 Alright. I want to do the Punic Wars quiz.

00:15:13.000 That'll be a fun one. So Blake got all of these right.

00:15:15.000 Yep, that's right. Tiber River, all of the above.

00:15:18.000 It's pretty... The fact you got both falses, that's big.

00:15:21.000 Those are silly questions a little, but, you know, whatever.

00:15:24.000 I'll take it. I'll take the W. Blake, Neff, everybody. 0.99

00:15:28.000 CharlieforHillsdale.com. That pop quiz was brought...

00:15:32.000 And he didn't see any questions. Like, no idea.

00:16:46.000 She's got to unmute herself. 1.00

00:16:48.000 Stacy, thank you for being a member.

00:16:50.000 Charlie, how are we doing? We are living the dream.

00:16:53.000 Yeah, we are. So it's so nice to see you.

00:16:56.000 And Blake, hi. How are you doing?

00:16:58.000 I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Stacy's a big Blake fan.

00:17:00.000 That's great. That's good. Yes, I am.

00:17:02.000 Okay. So I have two comments and then a question.

00:17:05.000 My first comment is, you know, someone who's been in the trenches with you for many, many years and have been through life's ups and downs, the joys and the sadness of life.

00:17:18.000 What we're seeing on campuses right now, Grand Canyon University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, is a far cry from where we started many, many years ago, where we'd show up and there'd be 200 miserable people throwing stuff at us.

00:17:32.000 That's right. So seeing the MAGA hats is unreal.

00:17:35.000 And I just want this audience to know that that did not happen overnight.

00:17:39.000 That was 12 years of a grind.

00:17:43.000 Of late nights, sleepless nights, red eyes, and the dedication and the sacrifices that Charlie, you and the team have put in to make this a reality right now is one of the most joyous things I've ever witnessed in my life.

00:17:56.000 Well, thank you. And I'm so proud to be a part of it.

00:17:59.000 And, you know, your mission could only be described as like the relentless pursuit of greatness, which I am happy to be a part of.

00:18:09.000 And I'm so proud of you.

00:18:11.000 Thank you. And I know none of that would be possible if you didn't have your amazing wife, Erica.

00:18:18.000 Holding down everything for you so you can go do what you need to do.

00:18:22.000 And her full support of you is remarkable.

00:18:25.000 She is the unsung hero of 2024.

00:18:28.000 She is. That's right. And I want to praise her.

00:18:31.000 And I want to ask, here's my question.

00:18:33.000 I know you love a big lead up to a question.

00:18:36.000 I'm going to talk for as long as you want, Stacey.

00:18:39.000 How can this audience pray for you and Erica?

00:18:43.000 Well, thank you. I mean, pray that we make it to Election Day in one piece.

00:18:48.000 This has been a very difficult season.

00:18:50.000 I mean, Erica brought a baby all the way to term, delivered the baby we had all summer.

00:18:55.000 And just pray, first of all, that my voice keeps, I know that sounds silly, it is a daily, I'm literally like chugging honey tea.

00:19:02.000 As I do this, I was joking with Blake this morning.

00:19:05.000 It's kind of like being an NFL football player, being like, is my knee going to give out?

00:19:08.000 Is it not going to give out? It's just every day.

00:19:10.000 And then just honestly pray that God puts us in the right places to make maybe the marginal difference from now to the election.

00:19:18.000 And so we are hopefully planning just like a couple weeks to breathe after the election, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.

00:19:27.000 I really believe that.

00:19:56.000 Thank you, Stacey. You're the best.

00:19:57.000 Thank you. Thank you.

00:19:59.000 Stacey's on our team, by the way, one of our top game changers.

00:20:05.000 She's amazing. Meanwhile, Andrew is on the phone with reporters, otherwise known as maggots.

00:20:11.000 All right, Elizabeth, thank you for being a member.

00:20:14.000 What is on your mind? Hi, Charlie.

00:20:17.000 Hi, Blake. How are you?

00:20:19.000 Good. How are you? Good.

00:20:20.000 Thank you. Thank you for being a member.

00:20:22.000 Yes, thank you for giving us the opportunity to be members.

00:20:27.000 And thank you for being at GCU this past week.

00:20:30.000 My daughter attends GCU. She graduates this December.

00:20:35.000 So she texted me the other day and said, guess who's here?

00:20:41.000 That's amazing. And she did not go because she hates large crowds. 0.96

00:20:46.000 So she's been to one like welcome week event in the stadium because it's just overwhelming for her.

00:20:54.000 She gets a little claustrophobic and overwhelmed, but she recognized that you were there.

00:20:59.000 She is a registered voter.

00:21:01.000 So we're happy for that.

00:21:06.000 She doesn't want to vote. So she doesn't like the choices.

00:21:10.000 She was excited about RFK. And now she's just...

00:21:17.000 Harris is absolutely a no-go, thankfully.

00:21:21.000 But she is just... 0.92

00:21:23.000 I don't know.

00:21:26.000 Obviously, she's aware that RFK has endorsed Trump and is a part of that team now.

00:21:32.000 And health is super important to her.

00:21:34.000 So that's... That's a good thing, but she just cannot get past how the media has portrayed Trump.

00:21:41.000 And again, it's that woman voter, where it's like that female voter, especially that young female voter. 1.00

00:21:49.000 That's right. It's a really great question.

00:21:51.000 I want to continue here.

00:21:52.000 So here's how I would frame it, Elizabeth, and thank you for being a member, is that I've said this before, and it's worth repeating.

00:21:59.000 You are not voting for Trump.

00:22:01.000 You are voting for which team of 5,000 people better fit with your values.

00:22:06.000 So what I would tell your daughter is, do me a favor.

00:22:10.000 Don't think about Trump for the next 30 seconds.

00:22:13.000 Which team is better fit with what you care about with health, where you care about with a strong country, not about Donald Trump, the individual or the person?

00:22:23.000 Blake, do you have Yeah, it's just...

00:22:25.000 It really is a big picture thing.

00:22:27.000 And what we really see, especially with Biden, because Biden himself is such a non-entity as a person, he's like out of it, you're really seeing what guiding principles are manifesting themselves within the government in terms of just the Democrat team, the 5,000 people they got in.

00:22:43.000 And that's... You have kind of unprecedented, punitive investigations and prosecutions of political enemies.

00:22:50.000 You have...

00:22:52.000 Total disaster on the border, not because it's impossible to stop them, but because they just refuse to stop anyone from coming in.

00:22:58.000 They feel it's a moral commandment to let every single person in the world into this country and to give them tons of welfare.

00:23:05.000 You see that their military is a mess.

00:23:07.000 You can see that FEMA is a mess because they're not people who believe in hiring based on merit or running an organization with any sort of efficiency whatsoever.

00:23:16.000 You see that they basically give a lot of power to these mobbed-up Because those are a traditional Democrat constituency.

00:23:25.000 There's all of these problems that come out of the sort of left liberal Democrat milieu of how to run things.

00:23:33.000 And all of that manifests so glaringly when Biden is not himself there to, you know, at least slightly mitigate it.

00:23:41.000 So Elizabeth, I would also just, and you're thinking about this correctly, you never want to sell something to somebody or try to convince if you don't know something about them.

00:23:49.000 So you know what values your daughter cares about.

00:23:52.000 If she cares about Christian values, then say, would you rather have a president like Donald Trump that has Franklin Graham in his ear or Kamala Harris who is adversarial to the people of faith? 0.98

00:24:04.000 So that's what I would do. And as a parent, I wouldn't give up.

00:24:08.000 I would do everything you can to try to convince your daughter of that.

00:24:12.000 And if she's paying for her own college, then she has a big say in that. 0.69

00:24:16.000 But if not, I would do everything you can to be persuasive, if you understand what I'm saying.

00:24:21.000 So thank you for being a member, Elizabeth.

00:24:23.000 I appreciate it. Thank you, Charlie.

00:24:25.000 God bless you. Okay, Dennis is with us.

00:24:28.000 Dennis, thank you for being a member.

00:24:29.000 What's on your mind? Thank you, Charlie.

00:24:31.000 I just unmuted, so I think I'm okay now.

00:24:34.000 You are great, Dennis. Thank you.

00:24:36.000 I have two particular concerns, and my major concern is that the president has often been speaking about the danger of World War III with the rhetoric that we're hearing from Harris and her group.

00:24:58.000 But I don't think we've really made clear what World War III is going to be like.

00:25:07.000 I think a lot of people think it's just going to be a different version of World War II, but I'm urging you to I interview the author of the book, Nuclear War, Anne Jacobson.

00:25:24.000 I just read it and it's rather frightening because all of the games that the Department of Defense has played always results in total destruction.

00:25:39.000 You don't have limited nuclear war.

00:25:44.000 And so that's something that I think the president really needs to stress.

00:25:53.000 But I don't want to take any more time.

00:25:55.000 No, no, that's okay. And did you have a second point you wanted to make?

00:25:57.000 Yes, the in the debate, the only problem I felt that JD had, he didn't really respond

00:26:10.000 properly, I think, to this farce that we're hearing from Harrison, and her running mate,

00:26:17.000 that if we had only passed this border bill, everything would be fine.

00:26:22.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:26:23.000 I don't think we made it clear that that border bill.

00:26:27.000 Wasn't going to stop immigration.

00:26:30.000 It would legitimize the open border.

00:26:35.000 Okay. Yep. Thank you. So to Dennis's point, first of all, Blake, you're a war expert, more so than most, historian of war.

00:26:45.000 What would a World War III look like?

00:26:47.000 I mean, depends on what it looks like, but as so, you know, he was talking during the break that, like, the scale of destruction that can be wrought if worst comes to worst is truly unthinkable.

00:27:00.000 So, you know, let's imagine we get in World War III, no holds barred against, like, China and Russia. 0.95

00:27:06.000 Well... Both China and Russia, between them, have many thousands of nuclear weapons armed, ready to launch.

00:27:14.000 You can't shoot down these things with an iron dome.

00:27:17.000 They're much bigger, much faster moving than that.

00:27:20.000 There's been some efforts towards getting tech like that, but certainly nothing that could stop all of them.

00:27:26.000 The atomic bombs that we have today are far more powerful than the one that flattened Hiroshima 80 years ago.

00:27:34.000 These days, we have bombs that...

00:27:36.000 It's actually so insane what you can imagine.

00:27:39.000 You can shoot a missile and it'll split into 10 different missiles.

00:27:42.000 Every single one of them is a hydrogen bomb that is 50, 100 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. 0.89

00:27:47.000 And you could obliterate an entire metropolitan area with one missile, kill 10 million people with it.

00:27:54.000 And then on top of that, you'll sometimes hear people think about if there's an EMP attack, you can detonate one nuclear bomb up in the atmosphere and it'll fry every electronic in...

00:28:05.000 Over half a continent. So you have to really understand there are kind of deluded lunatics out there who aren't good at running the math on this.

00:28:14.000 And so you'd see them in the Cold War. 0.87

00:28:16.000 They'd be like, we can win a nuclear war with Russia. 0.89

00:28:18.000 We can win it. We just have to do a first strike and we can take out enough of their missiles.

00:28:22.000 These people are insane. 1.00

00:28:23.000 They are mentally unwell people who love war. 1.00

00:28:27.000 Any sort of like major true nuclear war against Russia or China or really any country, it is a loss.

00:28:35.000 It is a loss for everyone and everyone afterwards who's alive would be like, why did we think this was a good idea?

00:28:42.000 If anyone's alive. I mean, there'll be someone alive on Sunday.

00:28:45.000 Yeah, you know, as they say, I think it was Einstein who said, I don't know what the Third World War will be fought with, but the Fourth will be fought with rocks, because that's all that'll be left.

00:28:55.000 So you see people be really flippant about the idea of war, and they shouldn't be, because wars are vastly more...

00:29:04.000 They have the capacity to be far more destructive than they've ever been before.

00:29:07.000 So the second part of the point was about J.D.'s debate.

00:29:11.000 I think J.D. did really well.

00:29:12.000 I don't want to criticize him, but I do agree that there could have been more of, at least

00:29:16.000 during the dialogue, of this ridiculous James Lankford border bill.

00:29:21.000 Yeah, thanks a lot James.

00:29:23.000 And he just introduced this bill, which again, we have to remind everyone, what the bill

00:29:27.000 would have done is it basically would have said you can let in, I think was it 5,000

00:29:31.000 a day or so?

00:29:32.000 A day. A day. Per day, and if it went above that as an average, then it's a crisis.

00:29:37.000 As an average, just so we're clear.

00:29:39.000 As an average. So one day could be 17,000, the next day could be 2,000.

00:29:43.000 Yeah, so 5,000 average.

00:29:44.000 So 1.5 million a month.

00:29:45.000 Yeah, which means, not quite that, 5,000 a day.

00:29:50.000 So it'd be several, well over a million illegal arrivals per year.

00:29:54.000 And that's just normal. That's just the baseline.

00:29:58.000 So it would basically take a level of illegal arrivals that we never saw ever until Biden was president, more or less.

00:30:06.000 and say that's actually the new baseline standard and it's not even really an emergency till you go above that amount and then you then you can do some certain special powers of the president to make them go home when obviously these should just be the powers you have no matter what because people who are you here illegally should not be here they should be sent back and that's the basics of what it should be and James Langford came out and thought like Oh, yeah, I'm just going to introduce this bipartisan bill to fix everything.

00:30:35.000 And now every Democrat's glommed onto it, talking about, oh, this great bill that Donald Trump ruined that would have totally fixed our border by just having, you know, of course, permanent, perpetual importation of every single person who wants to come to America.

00:31:44.000 Oh, another special guest.

00:31:46.000 Another special guest. The name is Kit.

00:31:49.000 Is that right? Hi.

00:31:50.000 Hi, Kit. How are you?

00:31:51.000 I'm told you are Daisy's mom.

00:31:53.000 Nice to meet you. I am Daisy's mom.

00:31:56.000 She does a great job.

00:31:57.000 You should be very proud. I am very proud.

00:32:00.000 She's extraordinary. But I want to say thank you.

00:32:03.000 I admire you greatly. Thank you.

00:32:05.000 And I admire what you do every day.

00:32:07.000 And again, I'm a big admirer of Daisy, too.

00:32:11.000 But my question is, I work at Valley Christian Schools and we have campuses in Chandler and Tempe and we serve many families who enjoy that they can have Christian education, that they can have private education.

00:32:25.000 And there are thousands of families in Arizona all across that want their children in the same type of schooling environment and they utilize school choice programs.

00:32:35.000 So right now, as you know, school choice in Arizona is at risk.

00:32:39.000 And this directly affects so many children and families.

00:32:42.000 As a school, we're urging people to vote, but can you give me your thoughts on school choice and the threat we face at this election?

00:32:50.000 Absolutely, yes. So everyone understands in the national audience.

00:32:53.000 Thank you, Kit. That's very well put.

00:32:56.000 In Arizona, we have the best school choice laws in the country, where we have full mobility of taxpayer dollars that could be allocated to private school, Christian school, you name it.

00:33:04.000 And it's working. It's working really well.

00:33:06.000 We have amazing new schools that are popping up.

00:33:09.000 We have Dream City Christian that we're partnered with up in Glendale.

00:33:12.000 We have the Valley Schools.

00:33:14.000 We have amazing schools.

00:33:15.000 And it really allows mobility and for parents to choose.

00:33:19.000 If the Democrats were to win back the Arizona House this cycle or Senate, one of their top orders of business is to get rid of the school voucher program.

00:33:29.000 Now, thankfully, I don't think they'll be successful.

00:33:31.000 I don't think they're going to win back the Arizona House or Senate, but this is a wildly popular program right now in Arizona.

00:33:36.000 That might protect us, too. It's really popular.

00:33:39.000 It's very popular. I mean, even registered Democrats love this.

00:33:42.000 It has 60% or 70% approval.

00:33:44.000 And it's amazing. And Doug Ducey deserves credit for it.

00:33:47.000 And a lot of people worked hard on it.

00:33:49.000 Governor Ducey signed it into law, which I don't love everything that Ducey did, but he just...

00:33:52.000 You gotta live in reality. He did it.

00:33:54.000 Which is that when this got done, this completely obliterated the teacher union cartels, strangled on the state.

00:34:01.000 And so you literally could take your tax...

00:34:03.000 Your money, your tax dollars, and go to any school that you want.

00:34:06.000 The left believes that if you don't have the...

00:34:09.000 First of all, the left believes they just have the right to abduct your kids for 10 hours a day to teach them whatever they want.

00:34:15.000 And at the minimum, they believe they have the right to do it if you don't have the overflow of money to buy your way out of it at huge cost.

00:34:23.000 And this says, actually, the money to educate your kids can be controlled by you.

00:34:28.000 And if you want to go to a public school by default, okay.

00:34:31.000 But if you want to take that money and go somewhere else, that's fine too.

00:34:34.000 They hate this idea.

00:34:35.000 They go berserk at this idea.

00:34:37.000 It is one of the things that makes them the most mad.

00:34:40.000 And what we find, actually, is the public schools are going down.

00:34:44.000 And their enrollment's going down 20 or 30 percent.

00:34:46.000 And it makes sense because parents are like, wait, why don't I just go to the Catholic school?

00:34:51.000 Why don't I just go to Valley Christian?

00:34:52.000 Why don't I go to Great Hearts?

00:34:54.000 And so, Kit, we need to make sure this is now the Democrat Party of Arizona will revoke school choice vouchers in Arizona.

00:35:02.000 I think that when J.D. Vance and Donald Trump visit the state, they need to mention that.

00:35:06.000 They need to remind the voters of the state that they're in support of this school choice program in Arizona.

00:35:11.000 Thank you so much, Kit, and your daughter's working very hard, doing a great job.

00:35:15.000 All right, who's next? We have more surprise guests, Daisy. 0.88

00:35:18.000 All right, Myra, thank you for being a member.

00:35:20.000 What's on your mind? Myra, how are you doing?

00:35:23.000 Make sure you unmute. Great, how are you?

00:35:27.000 Doing well, thank you. Sorry, I'm chasing after my two-year-old.

00:35:30.000 That's okay. It's more important.

00:35:32.000 I get it. I was doing that this morning.

00:35:36.000 As a mother of four to my youngest, I live in California.

00:35:41.000 I wear my MAGA gear and I get all positive comments.

00:35:47.000 And then I ask them if they're registered to vote.

00:35:50.000 They reply that they are.

00:35:52.000 And then I remind them to vote early.

00:35:54.000 But other than that, what can I do?

00:35:56.000 Oh, and...

00:35:59.000 My husband and I are going to Arizona on October 10th to commit 100.

00:36:05.000 Wow. First of all, you're a mom of four chasing around a two-year-old, wearing a MAGA hat, getting people to register to vote, and you're coming to Arizona to chase ballots.

00:36:13.000 Myra, I want to meet you and your family, okay?

00:36:15.000 So when you come here, I want to have you come And they're going on their wedding anniversary.

00:36:22.000 And so please, come by the studio.

00:36:25.000 We'll show you around the campus.

00:36:27.000 Daisy will show you around, okay?

00:36:29.000 I want to meet you. Myra, I rarely ever say this, but you're doing basically enough.

00:36:36.000 You're raising good kids.

00:36:37.000 You're coming to Arizona.

00:36:39.000 And I want everyone to understand, Myra and her husband are coming from California to Arizona during that time.

00:36:44.000 Period. To go chase ballots and to go drive turnout in this election.

00:36:50.000 So, Myra, I'm impressed by you.

00:36:52.000 And you're a member to The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:36:55.000 Yes, and I have a TP Action app, and I send out text messages and postcards.

00:37:00.000 I'm curious, Myra, why do you care so much?

00:37:03.000 And obviously, I love it. Like, were you raised this way?

00:37:05.000 You have four kids. I'm always curious.

00:37:08.000 Tell me about yourself, because you're extraordinary.

00:37:12.000 Well, I was born and raised in California.

00:37:14.000 I'm the oldest of five.

00:37:16.000 And because I was the oldest, I always had to help take care of the other kids.

00:37:21.000 And I wasn't allowed to do sports and stuff like that in school because my mom was busy and needed me to be home.

00:37:29.000 She was also very strict and Christian.

00:37:32.000 And they had their own business.

00:37:35.000 And when I was in high school and early on in college, I would argue with my parents about politics And I was a Democrat.

00:37:44.000 I didn't become a Republican until I started having kids.

00:37:49.000 But even before that, I don't know if it was my parents that instilled in us not to trust the government.

00:37:58.000 But when I was dating, I didn't want to have kids.

00:38:02.000 And it wasn't until I met my husband That I, after being married for two years, I started to wonder what a kid would look like, you know, between us and him.

00:38:13.000 And then here we are, four kids later.

00:38:16.000 Four kids. And you're fighting for the country.

00:38:20.000 You're exceptional, Myra. And I wish more people in the country cared as much as you do.

00:38:25.000 That's an amazing story.

00:38:27.000 It really is. You are the best of this country.

00:38:30.000 I want to meet you when you come here, Myra, all right?

00:38:31.000 And we're going to win this thing with your help.

00:38:34.000 And how old are your kids?

00:38:35.000 11, 7, 6, and 2.

00:38:38.000 So you're an 11, 7, 6-year-old.

00:38:40.000 We can get them all ballot chasing.

00:38:42.000 We can put them to work.

00:38:43.000 So you could do it as a family affair.

00:38:45.000 So if you're bringing them.

00:38:47.000 But God bless you, Myra, and we'll talk to you soon.

00:38:50.000 Thank you. Thank you.

00:38:52.000 I'll tell you, whenever you get down because of our leaders, we have great people in this country.

00:38:57.000 I just, again, all human beings in this world are made in God's image, but there's something exceptional about the American spirit.

00:39:04.000 There really is.

00:39:05.000 I want to answer Scott's question here.

00:39:07.000 It's a long question, so I'm not going to read all of it, but the essence is this.

00:39:10.000 Charlie, possible new believer here.

00:39:12.000 Most important thing is giving your life to Christ.

00:39:13.000 I would like some advice on how to dive into Christianity and get to know God and His Word.

00:39:17.000 Where do I start? Do I simply start with the Bible?

00:39:20.000 Also, I am hindered a bit with the attention span and being able to read for a long, continuous basis, and wonder if an audio Bible would possibly be a good way to learn.

00:39:27.000 Continues and says, thank you for your time.

00:39:29.000 Look to hear back from you. Okay, so a couple things.

00:39:31.000 Scott, first of all, I love that you want to know Jesus and make Jesus known.

00:39:36.000 Yes, I listen to the Bible sometimes, especially when I'm traveling.

00:39:39.000 I had a long day. I just turn on the Bible app.

00:39:42.000 There is a universal Bible app that I think is the most popular one.

00:39:46.000 It's literally just called Bible in the App Store.

00:39:49.000 It has hundreds of thousands of five-star reviews.

00:39:52.000 It is the best one.

00:39:53.000 It's just called Bible. You guys can download the Bible app and listen to it.

00:39:58.000 I encourage you to listen to the book of John.

00:40:01.000 That is the best one to first study for new believers.

00:40:04.000 And alternate between John and Proverbs.

00:40:07.000 John and Proverbs. John and Proverbs.

00:40:09.000 Psalms. John, Proverbs, Psalms.

00:40:11.000 Psalms will comfort you.

00:40:12.000 Proverbs will direct you.

00:40:13.000 And then John will lead you to Christ.

00:40:15.000 Those are the three best for new believers.

00:40:17.000 John, Proverbs, Psalms.

00:40:19.000 And then the most important thing, Scott, is you have to find a good church.

00:40:23.000 It's not enough just for you to do it yourself.

00:40:25.000 Find a good local church.

00:40:27.000 Scott, I don't know where you're from, but try to find a good local church and use a discipline every day to listen or to read to the Bible.

00:40:35.000 Try your best to actually do what the Bible teaches you to do and live a godly life.

00:40:41.000 Try to cleanse your life of non-biblical, non-Christian music. 0.99

00:40:46.000 Not just non-music, but music that might dirty you up or might not glorify the beautiful or eternal things.

00:40:53.000 Music that talks about licentious behavior.

00:40:57.000 If your mom didn't like it when you were growing up, she probably had a point.

00:41:01.000 Exactly. And Blake, can I say this?

00:41:03.000 Oh, yeah, I'll say it.

00:41:05.000 I was at Adoration last night.

00:41:06.000 It's a Catholic thing. It's amazing.

00:41:08.000 I love Adoration. Well, except you probably, you know, Protestants and your thoughts about the Eucharist. 1.00

00:41:12.000 But anyway, I was at Adoration last night, so I brought the Bible, and I kind of...

00:41:17.000 This is a little bit of an idle thought.

00:41:18.000 I was like... You know what, like, book I haven't read in ages?

00:41:21.000 I'll just go, like, a big, meaty history book in the middle, and I opened Chronicles.

00:41:24.000 That is a difficult book.

00:41:26.000 That was a mistake to do for, like, idle Bible reading.

00:41:29.000 Do you realize how long that thing spends on just the genealogy?

00:41:32.000 Well, if I remember, it goes to the historical record of Adam, and it goes right through.

00:41:35.000 It basically opens with about ten straight pages of, like, and here is the descent of the line of Judah.

00:41:39.000 Now here is the descent of the line of Reuben.

00:41:41.000 And here is Issachar.

00:41:43.000 It's super, it's not the best to read when you're in adoration, but I'll say it really begs the fact that this is true.

00:41:49.000 If you're able to name all these names, that there is some veracity to this.

00:41:54.000 Yeah, and of course, and then, you know, it does, it sort of is another narrative of the life of David and Solomon.

00:41:59.000 Like, that stuff's good, but I just, I got a big kick when I was like, oh, they're gonna go through every single tribe of Judah, aren't they? 0.53

00:42:05.000 So you really went for it.

00:42:06.000 See, I would have just kind of, you know, I would have just skimmed.

00:42:09.000 I mean, once you kind of get to Jacob and You know, the 12 tribes.

00:42:14.000 It's like, okay, we got it.

00:42:16.000 But take your faith seriously is my final piece of advice.

00:42:19.000 Whatever that is, and whatever you look at, kind of what that means for you, prioritize it.

00:42:24.000 And I hope you give your life to the Lord.

00:42:27.000 Let's go here. Hi Charlie.

00:42:28.000 Sorry I can't unmute and speak for myself.

00:42:30.000 I am at work and it's very windy.

00:42:32.000 My name is Cole and I'm a student at UNR, University of Nevada, Reno.

00:42:35.000 Oh, we'll see him next week. That's what he says.

00:42:38.000 We're super excited to have you this Tuesday.

00:42:39.000 My question is how can I better convince Christians that just because Trump is 100% in line with our Christian values that we still need to vote for him?

00:42:46.000 Again, I will go back to the 5,000 people.

00:42:48.000 It's not about Trump. It's about the cabinet and the agencies that he will staff.

00:42:52.000 For me, it's so simple.

00:42:54.000 For example, if you're a Christian, you're probably pro-life.

00:42:56.000 You should be. And it's like, okay, do you want the laws that we have already passed that are in place in Georgia, in the Dakotas, in Oklahoma, in Texas, in the Carolinas, do you want those laws to survive?

00:43:09.000 Because Kamala has said she will repeal the filibuster to get rid of them and make them illegal. 0.99

00:43:14.000 That's right. And Trump has said, I will keep those laws in place.

00:43:17.000 And if you're going to throw that out because Trump's personal statements on abortion are not 100% in line with what you want.

00:43:23.000 And we agree with that. Yeah, we agree.

00:43:26.000 We are more pro-life than what we would like him to be.

00:43:28.000 Yes. We are more pro-life than we wish the country was.

00:43:31.000 We want the country to become more pro-life.

00:43:33.000 I want this country's laws to be as pro-life as we can get.

00:43:36.000 And right now, you have the choice between, I will let pro-life laws survive, and I will bring back Roe v. 0.84

00:43:42.000 Wade nationwide, abortion on demand until birth.

00:43:45.000 And you're going to say, like, I won't vote for that?

00:43:48.000 I won't vote to stop that?

00:43:50.000 And there are so many other policy items that are...

00:43:53.000 That's just one thing, yeah. That's just one thing that Christians should care about, such as a secure border, and having a country, and not going to war, and...

00:44:00.000 Religious freedom. And no men and women sports, and trans surgeries, religious liberty, having good justices. 0.96

00:44:06.000 I will say, one thing I'm pushing for Trump to do, and he hasn't done it, get those lists of judges again.

00:44:12.000 I thought that really helped him in 2016.

00:44:14.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:44:18.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
