00:01:57.000 I want to get to as many as we possibly can.
00:01:59.000 We've been a little behind on this.
00:02:01.000 Once we get back to established order, we do this weekly.
00:02:04.000 Jeffrey will be first.
00:02:05.000 Jeffrey, make sure you unmute yourself.
00:02:06.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:02:07.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:02:09.000 What's on your mind?
00:02:10.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:02:11.000 Thanks for everything that you do.
00:02:13.000 Hey, quick question.
00:02:14.000 If the Biden administration...
00:02:17.000 It adopts this WHO amendment that I've been hearing about, and I saw excerpts of it way back in the spring.
00:02:24.000 What does that do to the Maha movement?
00:02:26.000 So, not a lot.
00:02:27.000 I mean, the WHO does not have superseding authority over American sovereignty, thankfully.
00:02:33.000 This is going to be one of the top orders of business for the president.
00:02:36.000 I think we should abolish the WHO of America's involvement.
00:02:39.000 I think we should completely disconnect from it.
00:02:41.000 It's largely a scam.
00:02:43.000 The WHO is just a kind of grifting, racketeering scheme to take taxpayer dollars from very wealthy countries and to appropriate them towards faulty and flawed science.
00:02:53.000 There was a test.
00:02:55.000 And the test was COVID for the WHO. And then they just failed miserably.
00:03:00.000 They were actively against the best interest of humanity during COVID and the lockdowns.
00:03:06.000 They recommended the lockdowns.
00:03:07.000 They couldn't tell us where the virus came from.
00:03:09.000 They pushed the six feet of social distancing.
00:03:12.000 They pushed the vaccine.
00:03:13.000 And they have very, very suspicious ties and connections to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:03:19.000 And so it won't do a lot because we won the election.
00:03:24.000 Since we won the election, this won't do a lot.
00:03:27.000 Now, remember the WHO, who wouldn't even acknowledge Taiwan in an interview?
00:03:31.000 This is one of the most radical organizations.
00:03:34.000 I think President Trump should withdraw from it, and that our time, energy, and money as a country is much better spent elsewhere.
00:03:42.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:03:43.000 I really appreciate it, Jeffrey.
00:03:45.000 And just so everyone who knows, when you are a member, you make this whole show happen.

00:04:01.000 Thank you so much, Jeffrey.
00:04:03.000 Next is Isaiah.
00:04:04.000 Love the name Isaiah.
00:04:06.000 Isaiah, happy Thanksgiving.
00:04:07.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:04:09.000 What's on your mind?
00:04:10.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:04:12.000 Sorry.
00:04:12.000 My question is, what can families do to stay tight-knit and nuclear in today's world?
00:04:17.000 Well, this is actually the subject of my next book, which I feel even more compelled to write, given that Dennis Prager is not in the best condition right now and hopefully gets out of that.
00:04:29.000 I truly believe, if you look at the Ten Commandments, that the Ten Commandment that connects to all the other commandments, especially the one that connects to honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which I'm giving you, is to remember the Sabbath day and to keep it holy.
00:04:44.000 I am a firm believer that we as Christians should keep the Sabbath.
00:04:49.000 And I don't say this legalistically.
00:04:51.000 I say this that I think you are missing out on one of the sweetest, most amazing gifts from the divine by not keeping the Sabbath. 0.59
00:04:59.000 Now, I will fully acknowledge and disclose to you, I struggled to keep the Sabbath the last month.
00:05:05.000 The whole team will tell you.
00:05:07.000 Andrew and Blake, I had my phone on during the election and the weeks that followed.
00:05:11.000 However, this weekend I am planning to get right back into standard Sabbath tradition.
00:05:17.000 I took a cheap month for the country.
00:05:20.000 I think everyone will grant me a little bit of a pardon, a little bit of Sabbath amnesty, if you will, a little Sabbath amnesty to save the civilization.
00:05:29.000 It was the Saturday before the election, the Saturday after the election, this last Saturday, I think one more.
00:05:34.000 The last, actually last weekend, I was about half.
00:05:37.000 I had my phone on for half the day and I did a little bit of work.
00:05:39.000 So we're phasing back into it.
00:05:41.000 I really believe though, families need devoted time.
00:05:45.000 The Sabbath is the largest standing celebration of God creating the heavens and the earth.
00:05:50.000 The fact that I honor the Sabbath, I look forward to Friday night, to being just with my family.
00:05:54.000 I look forward to Saturday with no work and no way that people can reach me.
00:05:58.000 It is a destination.
00:06:00.000 It is also a cathedral in time.
00:06:03.000 And God created a family as his chosen institution to honor him.
00:06:08.000 The nuclear family is the biblical model to keep values being passed down, to have strong connections and strong networks together.
00:06:18.000 And I really believe that as the nuclear family erodes, that tyranny and socialism, Marxism can ascend.
00:06:26.000 That Marxism must abolish three things.
00:06:28.000 People's connection to the divine.
00:06:31.000 Your ownership of private property and the nuclear family. 0.83
00:06:35.000 And so I think honoring the Sabbath is a great way to keep out the noise, to protect yourself from all the chatter of modernity, and to get back into the things that matter.
00:06:49.000 And even if you have family who you disagree with, if you spend time appreciating each other and getting down to Just spending time with one another.
00:06:58.000 I encourage you guys, this Thanksgiving, this Saturday, take the Sabbath challenge, which is for one month, every Friday night to Saturday night, turn off your phone and spend time with your family.
00:07:09.000 That's what my next book is about.
00:07:11.000 It's called, it's the working title, which people seem to like, is Stop in the Name of God.
00:07:16.000 And it's very interesting.
00:07:17.000 Somebody on my team said, Charlie, you sure you want to write that?
00:07:20.000 I said, you know, I'm going to wait for a message from God.
00:07:22.000 The fact that Dennis is not on the air right now.
00:07:26.000 And that was Dennis's most exciting thing that I was working on.
00:07:28.000 I feel a moral obligation to bring that book to completion.
00:07:32.000 It will be a little bit different than the MAGA doctrine, the college scam, and right-wing revolution.
00:07:36.000 However, I think in some ways more important.
00:07:39.000 Okay, who do we have here?
00:07:41.000 Let's go to Josh.
00:07:43.000 Josh, thank you so much for being a member.
00:07:45.000 You helped make this show possible.
00:07:47.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:07:48.000 What's on your mind?
00:07:49.000 Hey, so I've been fighting with seeing a lot of our local community activities and stuff go by the wayside because the younger generation won't take over for the older generation and it seems like they're blocking away from our small towns and that sort of stuff like no other.
00:08:07.000 I've come from a really small town in Oregon and it just seems like there would be ways to promote those things with our youth and that sort of stuff that we could Bring these traditions back and more community pride and it sort of saddens me to see these kids kind of go listless after high school and I just kind of wondered,
00:08:36.000 do you guys have any ideas or anything like that that would promote pride in our communities and our small towns and that sort of stuff anymore?
00:08:44.000 Yeah, I have a couple thoughts on this.
00:08:46.000 So the first of which is sometimes young people do need to come out and experience the world before coming back.
00:08:52.000 That is the story of the prodigal son.
00:08:55.000 But I will mention this, though, and I think it's fundamentally important that I think there is a trend to go back to the towns that you were raised in.
00:09:03.000 I think technology makes that easier.
00:09:05.000 I think that the kind of aura of the big cities is fading and that there is a desire to go back to the connectivity and the community of the smaller town America that used to exist.
00:09:16.000 In fact, we're seeing that happen in states like Texas and Arizona.
00:09:22.000 In Arizona in particular, it's not just that Phoenix is growing.
00:09:25.000 It is all the smaller towns that are growing.
00:09:28.000 Show Low is growing.
00:09:29.000 Payson is growing.
00:09:30.000 Prescott is growing.
00:09:31.000 Prescott Valley is growing.
00:09:33.000 Sedona is growing.
00:09:35.000 These are smaller towns that we're actually seeing somewhat declining population, or at least trending up declining population, and now we're seeing a surge.
00:09:44.000 Tech definitely causes problems, but it can also provide amazing opportunities used well.
00:09:50.000 You can be more connected to a small town while still having access to global economic opportunities.
00:09:55.000 So I highly recommend for some of you If you want to live in the town you were raised, maybe it's Kalispell, Montana or Duluth, Minnesota, try to make it happen.
00:10:05.000 I think it would be good for you, good for the city, good for the community, and good for your family.
00:10:09.000 I, for one, would not be able to live in a major city.
00:10:12.000 I would not be able to live in D.C. or New York or Minneapolis or Chicago or Los Angeles, San Francisco.
00:10:19.000 And when you go to these small towns, you are able to then build up the churches, build up the communities as well.
00:10:29.000 What happens when the power's out, your phone says no service, and the grid is down?
00:10:33.000 Do you have a backup plan?
00:10:34.000 If you don't have a satellite phone from sat123.com, you're risking more than just missed calls.
00:10:40.000 A satellite phone from sat123.com keeps you connected no matter what.

00:11:17.000 Blake, as he normally does, kindly reminded me that Phoenix is a major city.
00:11:21.000 However, I will say this.
00:11:22.000 Phoenix is a very horizontal city becoming a vertical city.
00:11:27.000 It is not necessarily as dense as New York, Chicago, Boston, D.C. It's incredibly spread out.
00:11:33.000 And I don't technically live in Phoenix.

00:11:43.000 It is a glorious Thanksgiving, everybody.
00:11:46.000 Jennifer, thank you for being a member.
00:11:48.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:11:49.000 What is on your mind?
00:11:51.000 I'm a mother of two boys and we're all Christians.
00:11:55.000 And my question is, how do you think that the current political and cultural climate, especially with the issues of the war in Ukraine, The economic instability will impact the way that we raise our children and teach them about faith, responsibility, and the future.
00:12:13.000 Yeah, I mean, look, teaching young people about that, one of the most important things is turning off the devices and pouring in to young people about foundational texts.
00:12:22.000 Look, I mean, our daughter is only two years, so I'm hardly an expert on this.
00:12:27.000 However, I can say limiting screen time and never put our faith ultimately in government.
00:12:33.000 Instead, we put our faith in God and God Almighty and God alone.
00:12:37.000 One of the most important things you can do.
00:12:39.000 And I think we are seeing...
00:12:42.000 Again, I don't want to be overly optimistic because Blake will bring me back down to Earth.
00:12:47.000 But I think that we could be entering an American Renaissance.
00:12:51.000 I'm seeing people in our community, in our following ranks, that are desiring the beautiful things, the deep things, the established natural order.
00:13:04.000 As we say many times here on The Charlie Kirk Show, nature is healing.
00:13:09.000 And I will just say this verse.
00:13:11.000 I love this verse, by the way.
00:13:12.000 Philippians 4, 11 to 13. I'm not saying this because I'm in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
00:13:18.000 I know what it is to be in need.
00:13:20.000 I know what it is to have plenty.
00:13:22.000 I've learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well-fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
00:13:28.000 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
00:13:31.000 Thank you so much.
00:13:32.000 Really appreciate it.
00:13:33.000 And let's go here to Penelope.
00:13:37.000 Please, what is on your mind?
00:13:39.000 Penelope, thanks for being remembered.
00:13:41.000 Hi.
00:13:42.000 I was just wondering if the rumors are true.
00:13:44.000 Are you actually going to run for governor of Arizona?
00:13:49.000 No, I'm staying at Turning Point USA. Those are a lot of rumors, but a lot of people are talking.
00:13:55.000 A lot of people are talking.
00:13:56.000 And I was wondering also about how Carrie Lake lost even though Trump won Arizona.
00:14:03.000 So, a couple things on that.
00:14:05.000 Number one, McConnell kind of forsake, kind of abandoned, if you will, the Cary Lake campaign.
00:14:13.000 There was no investment from D.C. Senate Republicans.
00:14:18.000 There was no major concerted Let's just say strategy from the D.C. Senate.
00:14:25.000 And yeah, look, I mean, McConnell and the gang, they did not want Carrie Lake to become a U.S. Senator. 0.89
00:14:31.000 They did not want Carrie Lake to get across the finish line.
00:14:34.000 And because of that, look, she was always pulling behind.
00:14:38.000 It's just a fact.
00:14:39.000 We actually were able to tighten that.
00:14:41.000 And so now we've seen a honestly, this is This is one of the reasons why we sadly lost in Michigan and Wisconsin as well.
00:14:52.000 Carrie Lake is amazing. 0.97
00:14:53.000 I wish you'd be a senator.
00:14:53.000 But, you know, when you do not have investments from D.C. and from the Senate Leadership Fund, it's very, very hard to overcome that.
00:15:01.000 So, very hard.
00:15:02.000 But thank you for being a member.
00:15:05.000 Really appreciate it.
00:15:06.000 Love ya.
00:15:07.000 Thank you.
00:15:07.000 Let's go to Andrew next.
00:15:09.000 Andrew, what is on your mind?
00:15:11.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:15:12.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:15:14.000 Yeah, thanks for taking the time to do this.
00:15:16.000 I'm currently working on a documentary titled Darkest Before the Dawn, which features, and already in the can, Roger Stone, Alex Jones, James O'Keefe, and others.
00:15:25.000 And basically, at this point, the focus is on persecution in the United States.
00:15:29.000 And so I'm looking for, uh, to also include stories of families who haven't volunteered for the limelight, but have experienced maybe significant persecution, like J sixers, anybody else, would you be able to point me on the right direction to connect with such families or resources that could help me find them? 0.98
00:15:45.000 Yeah.
00:15:45.000 Uh, Jessica Tapia in California, for example, uh, is, is a great one.
00:15:50.000 There's so many examples that I could give.
00:15:52.000 The one that I think would be really interesting is young women in sports. 0.99
00:15:57.000 Young women in sports in particular have been so attacked, have been so persecuted with the men in female sports.
00:16:05.000 We have a bunch of students that have spoken out.
00:16:07.000 I would be happy to connect you with them.
00:16:09.000 And Riley Gaines, of course, has a long list and a ton as well.
00:16:13.000 Okay, great.
00:16:14.000 Thank you.
00:16:15.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:16:17.000 Really appreciate it.
00:16:18.000 All right, let's keep going.
00:16:20.000 Janine, is that right?
00:16:21.000 Am I reading that right?
00:16:22.000 Janine, thank you for being a member.
00:16:24.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:16:25.000 What's on your mind?
00:16:26.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:16:28.000 I have two questions.
00:16:30.000 First, what is, in your opinion, priority number one in investigations for the new Justice Department?
00:16:36.000 Is it election malfeasance in 2024 and or 2020, January 6, 2021?
00:16:43.000 Those who weaponized the justice system during the last four years, Russiagate, Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:16:49.000 What, in your opinion, is the number one to start with?
00:16:54.000 Yeah, so let me just first say this.
00:16:57.000 I think that the number one priority of the new Department of Justice is killing the lawfare apparatus, find out how it works, and destroy it because that's pointing towards the future.
00:17:08.000 I also think we need to finally investigate Act Blue and get down to the bottom of how they operate.
00:17:14.000 I think there needs to be the beginnings of a RICO investigation behind all the Floyd riots Were they coordinated?
00:17:21.000 Were they funded?
00:17:22.000 And the whole BLM kind of organization, I think, finally needs to be brought to criminal accountability. 0.93
00:17:29.000 And yes, we do need election security.
00:17:32.000 There needs to be real investigations into ballot custody, into voter rolls, into all these different elements, these fundamental elements.
00:17:41.000 And of course, the late drops From Arizona and Wisconsin as well.
00:17:47.000 So anyway, there's so many things to restore people's belief in justice and integrity of our justice system.
00:17:56.000 So really appreciate it, the question.
00:17:59.000 And I think Pam Bondi is going to do a great job. 0.69
00:18:02.000 I had a second question, if you don't mind.
00:18:04.000 Please do.
00:18:05.000 Go ahead.
00:18:05.000 Yes.
00:18:06.000 In 2026, the Michigan Democrat trifecta of Governor AG and SOS will term out.
00:18:14.000 Can you give advice on how we Republicans in Michigan can take back our state?
00:18:19.000 Yeah, it's in Michigan.
00:18:21.000 Look, in Michigan, we need better statewide candidates and we need to try to build off of the success that we have seen this last cycle.
00:18:31.000 So this last cycle, what we've seen and like what we've seen basically is the Michigan Republican Party Win presidentially, be very, very close on the Senate side and within like 18 or 20,000 votes with really not a major investment from the top down.
00:18:53.000 So we have to build out the grassroots infrastructure.
00:18:55.000 We have to get aligned with great organizations.
00:18:58.000 And we work directly with Great Education Action in Michigan.
00:19:00.000 We were active in the 7th Congressional District in Michigan.
00:19:04.000 And you have to start local, local, local, local state reps as well.
00:19:07.000 We chased over 14,000 low-prop votes in Michigan 7 and successfully flipping that congressional seat from D to R and also helping win the statehouse.
00:19:16.000 And so I have to keep that momentum going, which would be critical to turn Michigan into a red state. 0.87
00:19:24.000 It shows that we can do it, and President Trump did a miraculous job of setting the table.
00:19:29.000 Right, thanks.
00:19:31.000 So, thank you.
00:19:32.000 Okay, let's see.
00:19:34.000 We have Melissa.
00:19:34.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:19:36.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:19:37.000 How are you?
00:19:38.000 I'm great.
00:19:39.000 I love your show.
00:19:40.000 Thank you so much.
00:19:42.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:19:43.000 What's on your mind?
00:19:44.000 Yes, my question is, what do you believe are the biggest concerns or challenges that our country's facing leading up to Trump's second term?
00:19:51.000 So I think subversion.
00:19:53.000 So like undercutting and subverting the established order and the transition from one administration to the other, right?
00:20:04.000 I think that one of the biggest issues will be the lying, will be the leaking, will be the circumstantial issues.
00:20:11.000 They sabotage the first Trump administration and they will try to do it again and we have to try to be ready.
00:20:16.000 And so also just personnel, personnel, personnel is everything.
00:20:20.000 It's incredibly important.
00:20:22.000 Now, will the president actually get the intel briefs without the bureaucrats filtering out the truth?
00:20:27.000 That is the question.
00:20:28.000 And I am very, very concerned that the intel community is going to try to subvert him again.
00:20:33.000 Very good.
00:20:34.000 So, but thank you for being a member and happy Thanksgiving.
00:20:37.000 Yes, thank you.
00:20:38.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:20:39.000 Thank you.
00:20:43.000 Election Day 2024 is in our rearview mirror and conservatives are fired up that President Trump heading back to the White House in January.
00:20:49.000 But our fight isn't over and I'm asking you for your help.
00:20:52.000 Conservatives for lower health care costs are warning us that Big Pharma and the far left are scrambling to fast track a big government scheme to eliminate free market forces.
00:21:01.000 in healthcare before the GOP can take control of the White House and Congress.
00:21:04.000 This pharma-backed scheme, called de-linking, would hand a massive $32 billion windfall to the biggest drug companies.
00:21:12.000 And guess who would pay?
00:21:13.000 Hard-working American customers, consumers, seniors, and taxpayers.
00:21:17.000 You can help stop Big Pharma's money grab from American seniors and taxpayers by going to pharmawindfall.com right now.
00:21:24.000 Congress must reject Big Pharma's scheme to boost drug companies' profits, keep drug prices high, undermine competition in healthcare, and hike healthcare costs for American people.
00:21:35.000 Please go now to pharmawindfall.com to join this urgent fight.
00:21:39.000 Portions of the Charlie Kirkshaw are brought to you in part by conservatives for lower healthcare costs.
00:21:45.000 Mary, Mary, thank you for being a member.
00:21:47.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:21:49.000 What is on your mind?
00:21:50.000 I wanted to ask, how do we prevent President Biden from continuing to mess with our economy, international politics, and domestic politics?
00:22:03.000 Because he certainly seems to be aimed at continuing to try to Stir the pot.
00:22:11.000 So look, the issue I think, especially in Ukraine, I think that President Trump needs to have a total global reset.
00:22:20.000 And Joe Biden has just announced he wants another $24 billion from Congress in Ukraine.
00:22:27.000 He wants to try to spend more of our taxpayer dollars on the ground on this ridiculous proxy war with Russia.
00:22:35.000 And we're seeing this develop.
00:22:37.000 You know, up to a place where this could become World War III. And they're going to try to hand Donald Trump the greatest possible mess imaginable.
00:22:46.000 And so I think President Trump is very smart to try and govern the country through this interim period, through this transition period.
00:22:54.000 And so I'll tell you, I am not at peace about these this next month and a half because we could be getting towards something very, very dark and destructive.
00:23:02.000 So, Mary, thank you for being a member.
00:23:04.000 Mary, where are you from?
00:23:05.000 Taylor, Texas, home of the new Samsung chip fabrication plant.
00:23:11.000 It's huge.
00:23:13.000 I love it.
00:23:14.000 I love it.
00:23:15.000 Thank you for being a member.
00:23:16.000 Daniel, what's on your mind?
00:23:19.000 Absolutely.
00:23:19.000 Daniel, Happy Thanksgiving.
00:23:22.000 What is on your mind?
00:23:23.000 And thank you for being a member.
00:23:25.000 Hi, thank you for having me.
00:23:26.000 My question is, in general, is are we misinterpreting the mandate that Trump received?
00:23:31.000 And specifically, this is two parts to it.
00:23:33.000 First of all, are we underestimating the Democrats too much?
00:23:37.000 All over the news, even in Democrats and Republicans, I see everybody saying less rights for Democrats, that they're fundamentally gone.
00:23:44.000 Whereas I feel that they primarily fail because, A, they had an atrocious candidate, they had horrible policies, and they had disaster after disaster for record.
00:23:52.000 But they have so many things going for them.
00:23:54.000 They have the corporate media, they have educational institutions, they have tech giants, they have the deep-tated government, they have neocons.
00:24:01.000 If you look globally at other countries, we're fortunate what happened here, but for example, the UK is doing very badly.
00:24:07.000 And also when Democrats vote, they vote very united, whereas we right now have a coalition of MAGA and old style Republicans, which as you can see, is already starting to get some problems.
00:24:17.000 So are we underestimating the Democrats too much in The way we communicate.
00:24:22.000 Well, I'm not underestimating them.
00:24:24.000 Look, things can change dramatically.
00:24:26.000 If you looked at the 2020 election, you'd think that, you know, MAGA is cooked, the Republican Party can't win again, or even the 2008 election, the 2012 election.
00:24:35.000 Look, People are asking, repeatedly, are we overplaying our hand?
00:24:41.000 And maybe.
00:24:42.000 However, I will say this.
00:24:44.000 The Democrats are going to come back with ferocity.
00:24:47.000 They still control the major institutions of influence.
00:24:50.000 They control Hollywood.
00:24:51.000 They control the major tech companies.
00:24:54.000 They're not going to just go away.
00:24:57.000 The Democrat Party is not just going to disappear.
00:25:00.000 When we start probably deporting people, they're going to be re-inspired and they're going to be in the streets and there will be protests.
00:25:06.000 It doesn't really matter.
00:25:07.000 You have to do the job the American people hired you for and you have to do it quickly and efficiently.
00:25:11.000 And understand, the media and celebrities failed them.
00:25:15.000 Proved that they're not as powerful as they used to be.
00:25:18.000 And yeah, I think some people might be getting a little too cocky, but I don't really care.
00:25:22.000 We're three weeks out from a well-deserved, well-earned victory.
00:25:25.000 There'll be plenty of time to humble people later.
00:25:27.000 I think that this is a well-earned celebratory period.
00:25:30.000 I really mean that.
00:25:31.000 And I think it's okay to taunt the left a little bit.
00:25:34.000 I think it's okay to celebrate and to take a month off and just chill out.
00:25:38.000 And you'll never hear me say that.
00:25:39.000 At Turning Point, we're not doing that.
00:25:40.000 I mean, just for the general population.
00:25:42.000 But the Democrats will be back.
00:25:43.000 They're going to adjust.
00:25:45.000 They're going to figure out better ways to communicate to the population.
00:25:48.000 They hate losing.
00:25:50.000 And also, the Democrats are in a time of civil war.
00:25:53.000 There's a battle that is coming between the Wokies and the moderates.
00:25:57.000 So it's by no means the Democrats are done.
00:26:00.000 But we have an opportunity to seize on this mandate, and it is a mandate.
00:26:04.000 He won the popular vote.
00:26:05.000 He blew out the Electoral College.
00:26:07.000 He won triumphantly with more electoral votes than he did in 2016. So, but you have to imagine if you're the left, imagine if you have all this cultural power and you still lose.
00:26:16.000 It could be very, very demoralizing.
00:26:18.000 What's your second question, Daniel?
00:26:21.000 My second question, thank you, is are we paying enough attention to the new centrist Trump voters who primarily want common sense policies?
00:26:28.000 And I understand we have to look at the mega priorities, we have to look at the corruption, we have to look at the spending, but there are a lot of people who don't really look at politics and They just saw how horrible the Democrat policies were.
00:26:40.000 And they say, okay, I'm going to give Trump a shot for a few years, a few months.
00:26:44.000 And for example, you mentioned deportations.
00:26:46.000 And I believe we have to get rid of the worst criminals.
00:26:48.000 But there's going to be a lot of people in this middle group.
00:26:52.000 If we start doing like Army or I don't know what else Steve Bannon has planned.
00:26:56.000 But if we start doing...
00:26:58.000 And they have a scenario where you show a kid on a video being taken away from his family or something that the Democrats can play 24-7 for a couple of months.
00:27:05.000 A lot of these voters are going to be turned off.
00:27:07.000 Would it be better to just try to incentivize people to self-deport?
00:27:11.000 And how are we looking at The Democrats being in a place of disarray and us having consensus type cabinet picks like RFK, Tulsi.
00:27:25.000 And when people start seeing your paychecks increasing, costs coming down, that will win a lot of approval.
00:27:31.000 But I'm not that interested in approval rating watching day to day for the first year.
00:27:35.000 Just get the job done.
00:27:37.000 Deport people, fulfill the mandate.
00:27:40.000 No tax on tips.
00:27:41.000 And then you can start to see how the American people are processing it, which will be overwhelmingly positive.
00:27:46.000 Okay, Skylar, thank you for being a member at members.charliekirk.com.
00:27:49.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:27:50.000 What's on your mind?
00:27:52.000 Hello.
00:27:53.000 So as someone who's like fresh into voting and more into politics recently, in your view, what is the most effective way to engage young people in conservative principles and ideas?
00:28:07.000 Well, it's a great question, Skylar.
00:28:08.000 How old are you, Skylar, by the way?
00:28:11.000 I'm 18. Awesome.
00:28:13.000 Well, look, I can tell you this.
00:28:15.000 Ask questions of your peers.
00:28:17.000 Why do you believe that?
00:28:18.000 Where do you get your information from?
00:28:19.000 What do you think is true?
00:28:20.000 Asking questions can get you much and much closer to some approximation of the truth.
00:28:26.000 And so then also, try to read as many books as you possibly can on this subject matter.
00:28:31.000 Nothing replaces a desire and a pursuit of learning and knowledge.
00:28:36.000 So, Skylar, I would tell you, just try to be non-confrontational but direct.
00:28:41.000 Ask the right questions and hold the line if people try to call you a bad name just because of your politics.
00:28:48.000 Our TikTok videos, by the way, were so popular because it was real debates.
00:28:54.000 Authenticity, deconstructing lies, 3 billion views this semester.
00:28:59.000 So thank you, Skylar.
00:29:00.000 Really appreciate it.
00:29:02.000 Thank you.
00:29:02.000 Amy, thank you for being a member.
00:29:04.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:29:05.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:29:07.000 Amy, what's on your mind?
00:29:09.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:29:09.000 Happy Thanksgiving to you and Erica and your family.
00:29:12.000 We are just very sincerely thankful for you and the team, Daisy, Blake, Andrew, Ryan, all of them.
00:29:17.000 It's just amazing to enjoy your coverage and all of your hard work.
00:29:20.000 So thanks for all that you do.
00:29:22.000 I do have a question, but as a quick aside to your book about the Sabbath, I read a book by John Mark Comer titled The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.
00:29:30.000 Have you ever heard of that?
00:29:31.000 Yeah, I have.
00:29:32.000 I'm not a big fan of the author because it's actually a good book, but he thinks very highly of himself anyway.
00:29:39.000 But yeah, please continue.
00:29:42.000 Thank you.
00:29:43.000 You sufficed my thoughts as well.
00:29:46.000 So we live in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I just have to say, it's been maddening to watch the officials who were outright and unlawfully attempting to block Dave McCormick from crossing the finish line over Bob Casey, which was obvious.
00:30:01.000 It was apparent.
00:30:02.000 It was called.
00:30:03.000 And we are just hopeful and praying that when President Trump has his cabinet in place and AG, Lord willing, AG Pan Bondi will be in place, what can they tangibly do?
00:30:14.000 Like, what are the action steps?
00:30:15.000 What can actually occur to hold these lowlifes accountable, especially in the state of Pennsylvania? 1.00
00:30:20.000 Yeah, I mean, I think we need to have an entire special division of the Department of Justice that goes in.
00:30:27.000 And these people that were counting the illegal votes, I think they should be indicted for that.
00:30:31.000 I really do.
00:30:32.000 I think that what we were seeing in Bucks County was flagrantly illegal.
00:30:37.000 And I think we need to have real arrests, real subpoenas, and indictments happening because of what they've been doing to our election system.
00:30:46.000 I wish I could give a deeper answer on that, but we're running out of time.
00:30:50.000 In Pennsylvania in particular, it is hard to think what the elections would look like if the elections were conducted ethically and transparently.
00:30:59.000 Happy Thanksgiving, Amy.
00:31:00.000 I've got to get to one more.
00:31:01.000 Thank you.
00:31:02.000 Really quick, Margaret, what's on your mind?
00:31:04.000 Thank you for remembering members.charliekirk.com.
00:31:06.000 What is on your mind?
00:31:10.000 Thank you for everything that you have done for this country.
00:31:13.000 Our daughter Grace is a freshman at a local very liberal college and she had to move out of her dorm because of a A woman that turned male was in the shower, the woman's shower. 0.87
00:31:27.000 And after three meetings with the higher-ups, it was obvious that she had to move out of the dorm.
00:31:34.000 They weren't going to accommodate her feelings or her anxiety over the issue.
00:31:39.000 So she voted in this election for the first time.
00:31:43.000 Were these trans individuals, or was this just alleged trans people?
00:31:47.000 No, I believe she had a surgery.
00:31:51.000 She had a whole thing under her name showing that she went through surgery.
00:31:59.000 She was on the medicine to change her voice and everything like that. 0.99
00:32:03.000 She had full facial hair.
00:32:06.000 So anyway, we introduced her to Charlie Kirk and she watches you faithfully.
00:32:12.000 And we also experienced Bucks County and what they tried to do, the selection.
00:32:16.000 So we We got a good taste of it for her.
00:32:20.000 We were glad we got to experience everything we did this semester because our daughter is into politics now because of you and what she's experienced.
00:32:29.000 And I would like to nominate you for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
00:32:33.000 Well, that's very sweet.
00:32:35.000 Very, very sweet.
00:32:36.000 But I can tell you, I don't think I deserve it.
00:32:40.000 And we should give it to Elon Musk instead.
00:32:42.000 But honestly, you know what, Blake is right.
00:32:45.000 You know what, Blake is right.
00:32:46.000 Give one to Dennis Prager.
00:32:48.000 That's who deserves one.
00:32:49.000 Dennis Prager should get one far above anything I've done.
00:32:53.000 So...
00:32:53.000 I'll accept one in 30 or 40 years once my work is near the end.
00:32:57.000 This is just one chapter of many things I want to do.
00:32:59.000 But it's very sweet and very touching.
00:33:01.000 So thank you so much.
00:33:03.000 God bless you.
00:33:03.000 And say hello to your daughter for me.
00:33:04.000 So thank you.
