00:00:36.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:45.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:27.000Members.CharlieKirk.com Members.CharlieKirk.com Members.CharlieKirk.com Members.CharlieKirk.com Alright, coming up first is Caleb and Michelle, two great friends and Patriots.
00:03:43.000Is it going to be everybody under 150?
00:03:46.000How do you think that's going to impact our revenue as far as income tax?
00:03:51.000I mean, personally, I think everybody needs to contribute at least a little.
00:03:55.000Right. So I think this comes out of something that Howard Lutnick said, where he said the president's plan is for anybody under $150,000 to pay no tax.
00:04:21.000I personally think that there's way too much taxing for the working class in this country, people that work with their hands, people that work in trades.
00:07:09.000Now, as far as bringing people back to Christ, this is where our churches are failing terribly.
00:07:13.000One of the reasons why our churches are failing terribly is they talk only about a Savior and not about what you need a Savior from.
00:07:22.000They talk only about the sweetness of the gospel, but not the bitterness of sin.
00:07:27.000And so I think the church needs to do a much better job of that, and the church needs to lean in and fill that existential void.
00:07:34.000And I'll be very honest, even my non-Christian great friends, they said, Charlie, COVID was a really bad look for the church, and I completely agree.
00:07:42.000The fact that the church was saying that we are filled with the Spirit and that we believe in God and that this world is not our own...
00:07:50.000And they were quick to shudder in fear and mask and vax, I think was a great indictment of the moral cowardice of what the American church had become and is.
00:08:01.000You could buy booze, you could go to a strip club, you could go to a marijuana dispensary, but you couldn't go to church to sing a hymn.
00:08:29.000I'm wondering why the government can't push back against organizations like Soros and the money that they're infiltrating into things like common cause.
00:08:39.000I saw online read that India had rated a common cause institute there in India, and I'm wondering why we cannot do that.
00:09:12.000You have to find things that he's done that's illegal, not just things that we don't like.
00:09:16.000I do not have any evidence of this, and that's not fair to say.
00:09:21.000I have circumstantial evidence, but I think a proper FBI and Department of Justice investigation into the Open Society Foundation and into the George Soros Network, into the BLM activities in 2020, Floydapalooza, is beyond necessary.
00:09:40.000And then secondly, is there an orchestrated campaign of who is burning down these Teslas, who is going after these Tesla dealerships?
00:09:47.000That is orchestrated potentially funding domestic terrorism.
00:09:51.000And so Kash Patel and Dan Bongino should make it a top priority to go after anybody that is financing terror and financing the destruction of the United States of America.
00:10:08.000When faced with a threat, you might think of lethal force, but consider a less lethal option like Burna to avoid legal issues tied to firearms.
00:10:16.000As a strong advocate for the right to bear arms, I value diverse defensive options, and Burna offers an effective alternative.
00:10:23.000Proudly assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Burna's less lethal pistol launchers loaded with tear gas and kinetic ammunition can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, allowing you to safely escape or call for help while reducing...
00:12:18.000She's a generous person on some matters.
00:12:20.000But in those basic ways, she's very much about self.
00:12:23.000Despite attending a Christian university, she came out of it as an agnostic.
00:12:28.000I love her forever, but we've simply agreed that we absolutely cannot talk about many matters involving politics or religion as we end up in huge arguments.
00:12:37.000I have no idea where she gets her ideas.
00:12:40.000She's been out of college for 10 years.
00:12:43.000She did move to the most liberal city in the state of Texas after graduation, and her circles of people are like-minded.
00:12:49.000Because of her ideology, I will never have a grandchild, which brings me great sadness.
00:12:55.000My daughter worked hard to get into college and did very well there.
00:12:58.000She, of course, obtained a generally useless degree.
00:13:01.000My $40,000 of student loans brought me a daughter that definitely thinks my generation, I am Jan X, are a bunch of racists that don't understand how the world actually works.
00:13:11.000College was not just a scam, but it absolutely ruined my daughter and made her into a miserable person.
00:13:18.000No husband, no kids, just constant travel in search of something.
00:13:22.000I know what that something is, but she's of course not open to God, and that is the saddest part of all.
00:14:02.000I was wondering if you're hearing anything or see anything.
00:14:07.000You know, with RFK and Trump regarding trying to bring back religious exemptions for the states that, you know, demand this, you know, vaccine schedule.
00:14:20.000It's really important, you know, to me because, yeah, you know, my particular school, I mean, I saw some crazy stuff during COVID.
00:14:58.000The excuse from the Republicans are, oh, the Democrats run the state and we can't bring those bills to the floor to bring back religious exemptions.
00:15:18.000I think, and let me interrupt you because we're running out of time here, and that's a great question.
00:15:22.000I live in an amazing medical freedom state here in Arizona, so I take this stuff for granted.
00:15:27.000I want to try to work with Bobby Kennedy and President Trump to use some sort of federal money to say that you cannot force these extra vaccines on kids, especially those in religious environments.
00:15:40.000It's a serious issue, and I know Producer Andrew is dealing with this right now in the free state of California.
00:15:47.000And anything beyond the 1980s schedule.
00:15:52.000And that is with, I mean, you were talking about, they're mandated in the COVID shot now for six months old.
00:16:27.000Or even if you did, maybe it's time for an enjoyable refresher.
00:16:31.000Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses, including their newest course on totalitarian novels.
00:16:38.000In this free eight-lecture course, you'll learn from Hillsdale College president Larry Arnn as he goes in-depth on four novels, 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, and That Hideous Strength.
00:16:49.000Even though these novels were written in the 1930s and 40s, they're highly relevant today as they show what a tyrannical government does to human nature.
00:16:57.000More importantly, they can show us that faith, family, and friends are worth fighting for.
00:17:02.000Maybe you read these books a long time ago in school.
00:17:04.000Maybe you've heard others talk about them, and they seem a little intimidating.
00:17:08.000Let Hillsdale College, America's greatest college, help you make the most of them.
00:17:12.000Go right now to charlieforhillsdale.com to enroll.
00:17:14.000There's no cost, and it's easy to get started.
00:18:26.000Okay, so I just have a question about with the sort of the taking apart of the Board of Education.
00:18:33.000Do you think that giving the power back to the states will not only increase our kids' academics, but help with the significant behavior problems we're seeing in the classrooms?
00:18:45.000Yes. I mean, the behavior problems are partially phone induced.
00:18:50.000Secondly, teachers are not able to discipline kids the way they used to because of fear of reprisal and political correctness.
00:18:57.000Hyper localizing things is always a better option.
00:19:01.000Abolishing the Department of Education won't, I think, have any way either way on behavioral problems.
00:19:21.000The Obama administration's civil rights office at the Department of Education would go after local school districts for suspending kids too much and saying, oh, you're suspending black kids too much.
00:19:32.000Well, maybe those kids, not because they're black, just because they're not acting correctly, should be suspended.
00:19:39.000So getting rid of that would be great.
00:19:41.000But Lisa, tell me what you're hearing and seeing regarding this issue.
00:19:44.000Well, I'll tell you what I'm seeing because I do work in an elementary school.
00:19:48.000I'm an occupational therapist, and so I'm in and out of classrooms, and specifically mostly with special ed.
00:19:54.000But, I mean, the behaviors are—you can't even make this stuff up.
00:19:57.000And I'm in one of the better counties in Georgia.
00:20:00.000But, I mean, kids are kicking, hitting teachers, throwing things at teachers, peeing on the floor.
00:21:59.000And there's getting to be a lot of research and data to show that kids is...
00:22:03.000Brains are just, they're developing completely differently because of screens.
00:22:09.000Yeah, I mean, and you could even say, you made such a good point, that kindergartners who were basically born in COVID, they didn't see people, and they were on their phones.
00:23:32.000Hey, listen, the reason I called is I noticed that there's a lot of stock price manipulation going on, both with elected officials, mutual funds, that sort of thing.
00:23:43.000And I was just curious if you thought that going to a zero tax on dividends would shift investment away from...
00:23:51.000Kiting stocks into more well-run companies.
00:27:31.000Selective Search, America's leading matchmaking firm, is changing the game.
00:27:35.000They connect strong, successful men like you, men who love God, love America, and want a family with incredible women who share your values.
00:27:43.000These are intelligent, faith-driven women who put family first and still believe in traditional values.
00:28:39.000Well, my first question is, do you believe the framers called for a simple majority of impeachment from the People's House and that that was put into the Constitution so that we, the people, could defend our own rights?
00:28:55.000Well, I think they designed it through two chambers.
00:28:59.000But yes, I do believe a simple majority in the House was sufficient.
00:29:02.000But they designed it to a 66-vote threshold, I believe, in the Senate.
00:29:08.000Yes. And I think the reason they did that was so that undulations and differences of opinions and excitement in the public wouldn't cause the impeachment process to be used excessively.
00:29:23.000But it appears to me that they would put it in the House and they would make it just a simple majority because it is the people's house, which implies that we have a say in these impeachments.
00:29:37.000And we say that through our representatives and then ask them to remove somebody who's trying to remove our rights under the Constitution.
00:30:13.000I'm not sure which way to go, but I think my main one is that I feel like the Christian church is being infiltrated by Leftists and all these organizations, LGBTQ and so forth.
00:30:28.000How do we help unmask them to show that they're doing more damage to Christianity than what they say?
00:30:41.000I would first encourage everybody, though, to make sure the local church that you are going to is one that is not woke and is not involved in this.
00:30:48.000It is not enough just to say that, oh, you know, it's a big problem, but your local church is like, well, I still like the music, even though that they have a gay pride flag flying.
00:30:55.000So you have to make sure that your local church is a reflection.
00:31:06.000Even though, aside from Doge and him having a super technology company, has President Trump ever thought about having Elon help out with the military as far as developing technology for the armed forces?
00:31:24.000It's a great question, and the answer is he already is.
00:31:27.000Now, he's not going to get classified briefings as far as how we're going to attack or whatever against China.
00:31:34.000However, Space Force is primarily an Elon Musk production.
00:31:38.000Space Force right now is primarily just satellites, and that is almost all Elon Musk.
00:31:43.000And so, as far as developing better technologies, we have a crisis right now in our military.
00:31:48.000We have a crisis, of course, with the rank and file, with the wokeism, the DEI.
