00:00:26.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:28.000 Sorry, high school or college chapter today.
00:00:30.000 at tpusa.com Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:33.000 Here we go.
00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:36.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:38.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:45.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:46.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:47.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:49.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:55.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:04.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:28.000 Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:33.000 First, we have Anthony.
00:01:35.000 Anthony, thank you for being a member.
00:01:37.000 What's on your mind, my friend?
00:01:38.000 Good day, sir.
00:01:40.000 So two questions.
00:01:41.000 One is regarding the SCOTUS win for Trump.
00:01:44.000 Sanctuary cities and states like New York, Chicago, Rochester, New York, how will they try to fight this since the highest court has already ruled in favor of Trump?
00:01:52.000 And my other question has to do with the visas by the federal government.
00:01:55.000 Why do schools think they have a right to declaring who gets a visa when it's technically the government?
00:02:01.000 Because I'm seeing a school in my area, the University of Rochester, they're losing tons of Chinese students and they're not happy about this because of the millions that the school is losing.
00:02:08.000 Well, I'm sure they're not happy about it.
00:02:10.000 But yes, it is not their call.
00:02:12.000 It is the call of the federal government.
00:02:14.000 The federal government gets to determine who comes into the country and who doesn't.
00:02:17.000 It's not the college's call.
00:02:19.000 You make a very interesting point.
00:02:20.000 Many of these colleges, they have become basically – Now, the counter-argument that Blake would be somewhat sympathetic to, and I'm not dismissing it, is that this is like one of the last things we actually have that the rest of the world wants.
00:02:45.000 I get that.
00:02:46.000 I mean, at the same time...
00:02:55.000 I also tell you, it doesn't westernize them nearly as much as you might think.
00:03:02.000 Like, oh, they come here and they learn to love America and they hate China. 0.97
00:03:06.000 No, they don't.
00:03:07.000 That doesn't happen at all.
00:03:09.000 What do you think would be the way forward, Anthony, here?
00:03:11.000 I can say this.
00:03:12.000 I used to work at the University of Rochester for a year, so I've seen what goes on there.
00:03:16.000 I'll be honest.
00:03:17.000 The colleges act like they're their own city and state because they're so small, and they don't believe that they have to abide by the rules of the local community, the federal government.
00:03:25.000 They can do what they want.
00:03:27.000 I really, to be honest, I think all their tax exemptions should be taken away, and they need to understand that once you start bringing in revenue like they do, you're a business.
00:03:36.000 A non-profit like yours or, let's say, the Cancer Foundation, it's a little different.
00:03:41.000 You're providing a service.
00:03:41.000 But a college is not.
00:03:43.000 Yeah, and under the 501c3 code, there is an educational carve-out.
00:03:50.000 But far too often, a lot of these colleges, they don't act as non-profits.
00:03:54.000 Right.
00:03:55.000 It's a difficult one.
00:03:56.000 I mean, the Hillsdale College is a great example.
00:04:00.000 Again, they're great supporters of our show.
00:04:02.000 Everyone should take the Hillsdale online courses.
00:04:04.000 Charlie for Hillsdale.com.
00:04:05.000 I'm trying to finish up one now, actually.
00:04:06.000 Which one are you trying to finish?
00:04:08.000 The Constitution.
00:04:09.000 Oh, isn't it great?
00:04:10.000 It's phenomenal.
00:04:11.000 I've just been so busy at work, and I'm trying to scratch out time for that and reading.
00:04:16.000 You will finish it and you will love it.
00:04:18.000 But I will say this, though, that the the Hillsdale College model and I've sat down with Dr. Larry Arnn and he says, look, despite now, no matter how hard I've tried, I cannot make it.
00:04:32.000 So I have to go to donors to offset it.
00:04:35.000 And I appreciated what he said, which is that in order to get the high-quality professors at Hillsdale, which are pro-American, conservative, amazing, in order to get the buildings and the infrastructure and the dorms and the food, they charge tuition and they still lose money.
00:04:50.000 So the nonprofit status allows them to continue.
00:04:53.000 And that's a really good example.
00:04:55.000 Where I find it harder, though, is that when some of these colleges are like mills and they have class sizes that are 700 or 800 or 900 people, there is no individualized tutoring system.
00:05:06.000 They're just running them through.
00:05:08.000 It does seem to operate more like a business.
00:05:10.000 But, Anthony, thank you for being a member, my friend.
00:05:13.000 Really great.
00:05:13.000 Talk to you soon.
00:05:14.000 Thank you.
00:05:14.000 Talk to you soon, Charlie.
00:05:15.000 Great.
00:05:16.000 Val, Val, what's on your mind?
00:05:17.000 Thanks for being a member.
00:05:18.000 Happy Friday.
00:05:19.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:05:19.000 Happy Friday.
00:05:20.000 So I see that you have so much hope for your state of Arizona.
00:05:25.000 And I'm a neighbor.
00:05:26.000 I live in New Mexico.
00:05:29.000 These last elections were just so bad for us.
00:05:33.000 And I'm so discouraged.
00:05:36.000 I'm a mom of three.
00:05:38.000 We live in a small farm.
00:05:39.000 And I don't see a future here for our state.
00:05:45.000 Do you have any encouragement for us?
00:05:48.000 So, a couple things.
00:05:50.000 First of all, thank you for being a member.
00:05:52.000 I'm going to speak pretty candidly about your state because I know your state actually pretty well, and I'm going to kind of give you just kind of a take on it, and you can agree or disagree on it.
00:06:00.000 First of all, I'm actually going to go back.
00:06:02.000 I go to New Mexico two or three times a year to speak.
00:06:04.000 I love New Mexico.
00:06:05.000 It's great people.
00:06:06.000 I will say a couple things.
00:06:07.000 Number one, it's called the Land of Enchantment for a reason.
00:06:10.000 There are some of the weirdest spiritual stuff I've ever encountered in my life.
00:06:13.000 I talk about it openly.
00:06:14.000 I was hexed at a church once.
00:06:16.000 There's some very weird, like, pagan voodoo stuff that still exists in the Albuquerque kind of Santa Fe.
00:06:22.000 Here's the problem.
00:06:23.000 Half of your state is Hispanic.
00:06:25.000 It's not a problem, but they vote very, very Democrat, as you well know.
00:06:29.000 And there is a ton.
00:06:31.000 Of fraud on the Native American reservations, a ton of voter registration fraud that just does not get rooted out.
00:06:37.000 The second of which, which is actually the bigger problem, is your white liberal Santa Fe problem, right?
00:06:43.000 So your white liberal Santa Fe problem is you kind of have this ruling class of artsy types that have moved to Santa Fe. 0.95
00:06:51.000 They tend to have a lot of money, and they are very, very, very left-wing, as you would probably agree with.
00:06:58.000 Yes.
00:07:06.000 The strongest would be the southeastern part of the state, which would be Roswell or Carlsbad or Artesia or Hobbs.
00:07:15.000 We're Clovis, that kind of southeastern part of the state.
00:07:18.000 I think that generating more turnout there.
00:07:20.000 I recently had a Zoom call with some really well-meaning New Mexico philanthropists.
00:07:25.000 And I was just kind of in a mood, to be honest, because people keep on asking me to save their state.
00:07:30.000 Charlie, can you save Oregon?
00:07:31.000 Can you save Illinois?
00:07:32.000 Can you save Rhode Island?
00:07:33.000 Can you save California?
00:07:34.000 And my new answer is, no, I can't.
00:07:37.000 And I don't know if it's the best.
00:07:40.000 Solution honestly to just keep on fighting when you're outnumbered so much.
00:07:44.000 In the end states must save themselves.
00:07:46.000 I will tell you, Val, we would welcome you with open arms to come to Arizona.
00:07:50.000 We are right on the verge of one of the most exciting moments in Arizona history where we could take back the state for good and turn it into a Florida.
00:07:58.000 The voter registration numbers show that.
00:08:01.000 The quality of candidates show that.
00:08:02.000 We're raising a serious amount of money for ballot chasing and voter reg and all of that.
00:08:07.000 We are going to really lean in on it.
00:08:09.000 In 2026, it is the first year in over a decade where we do not have a U.S. Senate seat.
00:08:17.000 Now, why does that matter?
00:08:18.000 Well, when you have a U.S. Senate seat, you get 10%.
00:08:31.000 So, for example, Mark Kelly in 2022.
00:08:35.000 If Mark Kelly would not have been on the ballot in 2022, even with all the other issues, Carrie Lake probably would have beat Katie Hobbs. 1.00
00:08:42.000 But Mark Kelly poured $120 million into his Senate race, which then got out more Democrats and In 2026 here in Arizona, we do not have a U.S. Senate seat.
00:08:55.000 A lot of the money across the country will dry up and will not come to Arizona.
00:09:00.000 There'll be some money, but it will instead go to Georgia.
00:09:03.000 It'll go to North Carolina.
00:09:04.000 It will go to Maine.
00:09:06.000 It will go to states like Michigan.
00:09:08.000 And Arizona will be like, oh, it's a governor's seat.
00:09:10.000 We care about that, but we're going to go pour our money elsewhere.
00:09:12.000 So all that to say, we have this opening.
00:09:14.000 We have a great candidate, Andy Biggs, that we have completely and totally endorsed.
00:09:18.000 We're going to be doing a lot of ballot chasing there.
00:09:20.000 And look, I don't want to depress you, but if I – Don't live in a place that depresses you.
00:09:29.000 You have great options.
00:09:30.000 You have Texas to your east or Arizona to your west, and we would love to welcome you to beautiful Arizona.
00:09:36.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:09:37.000 Thank you, Val.
00:09:38.000 And we'd love to have you come chase ballots and bring family and friends.
00:09:42.000 And you can also help your country by...
00:09:45.000 Almost every day I get a text message from someone I grew up with in Illinois.
00:09:49.000 Friends, family members, parents, they're looking for property in Florida, they're looking for property in Arizona.
00:09:54.000 And it's not the worst thing, honestly, because it makes these red states even redder, and it fortifies our new Sun Belt red wall. 0.85
00:10:03.000 I believe that we are going to have major problems with Trump not on the ballot in the Rust Belt.
00:10:09.000 I think J.D. Vance could solve some of that, which is why I like J.D. so much.
00:10:12.000 I don't think, though, we're going to have major problems in the Sun Belt, maybe in Nevada, without President Trump.
00:10:19.000 I actually think in Arizona and Georgia, the trends are they're getting even redder, thanks to what President Trump has done.
00:10:26.000 Arizona and Georgia have four Democrat U.S. Senators and zero Republican U.S. Senators.
00:10:33.000 I think in the next 10 years, we have an opportunity to flip that and to fortify the Sun Belt for good.
00:10:42.000 There's a national focus on eating all the healthiest of foods, and that's great news for Balance of Nature.
00:10:47.000 Their method of producing a vibrant nutritional supplement is second to none.
00:10:51.000 While so many others use chemicals and additives, Balance of Nature is made solely from whole food ingredients.
00:10:57.000 While other methods sacrifice nutritional quality for the sake of profits and volume, Balance of Nature's advanced vacuum-cold process involves freeze-drying the fruits and veggies into a fine powder, helping to retain as much nutritional value as possible.
00:11:11.000 Compared to the other inferior methods, which cut corners at your expense.
00:11:15.000 Balance of Nature packs a nutritional punch, and that's the whole reason for taking Balance of Nature, getting the most nutrition for the sake of your health.

00:11:42.000 Jordan, thank you for being a member.
00:11:44.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com, what's on your mind?
00:11:47.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:11:48.000 What do you think the most impactful thing that young people can do to stay politically engaged?
00:11:54.000 Well, number one is to learn.
00:11:56.000 That is number one.
00:11:57.000 Learn as much as you can.
00:11:58.000 Take Hillsdale online courses.
00:11:59.000 Read the great books.
00:12:00.000 Understand why you are a conservative, what it means to defend Western civilization.
00:12:05.000 Know the difference between facts and wisdom.
00:12:08.000 Those are two different things.
00:12:09.000 And then finally, I don't love the new kind of influencer craze where everyone just wants to be an influencer.
00:12:16.000 They're going to kind of film themselves.
00:12:18.000 I encourage anyone that wants to get involved in politics, you have to cut your teeth in the grassroots of politics.
00:12:25.000 This is something I talk about all the time with our Turning Point Action team.
00:12:28.000 You have to do an election cycle where you're doing thankless work.
00:12:32.000 It's not all just about being popular and taking selfies.
00:12:35.000 I got my start knocking on doors in my own free time in 2010 for Congressman Mark Kirk in the Illinois 10th Congressional District for making phone calls.
00:12:50.000 I was such a believer in this.
00:12:52.000 That after football practice, I would have my parents drive me to the Illinois GOTV Republican Party Victory Center to go make calls from 6.30 to 8. I set the record for the most amount of phone calls that were made.
00:13:10.000 On Saturdays, the day after football games, in the fall, instead of just taking the day off, I would go into the Illinois GOTV Victory Center and just make calls for Mark Kirk.
00:13:22.000 I think Mark Kirk actually became a U.S. Senator in 2010.
00:13:25.000 No relation.
00:13:26.000 So if you want to be popular in politics, go do the work.
00:13:31.000 Where do you live, Jordan?
00:13:33.000 Arizona.
00:13:33.000 Arizona.
00:13:34.000 Perfect.
00:13:34.000 So, Jordan, you can get involved with Turning Point Action.
00:13:36.000 Here's my advice to you, Jordan.
00:13:38.000 Become a grunt work machine for the Andy Biggs for Governor campaign.
00:13:43.000 Knock on the most doors.
00:13:44.000 Yeah, please tell me.
00:13:46.000 We're going to the rally this weekend at the Biltmore.
00:13:50.000 Phenomenal.
00:13:50.000 So glad you're going to the rally.
00:13:52.000 That's terrific.
00:13:53.000 Make the rally a starting point for all of your engagement, for all of your activism.
00:14:01.000 And again, people should come to our Andy Biggs rally, the Biltmore Resort, tomorrow.
00:14:04.000 It's going to be amazing.
00:14:05.000 But say, hey, I'm going to go knock on a thousand doors.
00:14:08.000 I'm going to go make phone calls.
00:14:11.000 Become a grassroots machine.
00:14:13.000 And there will be an entire tent there where you can sign up to become a volunteer.
00:14:18.000 And to become a ballot chaser.
00:14:20.000 And Jordan, you're doing great, and thank you for your involvement.
00:14:24.000 But my biggest piece of criticism to most young people, when they want to get involved in politics, they want to be famous.
00:14:31.000 Now, you've got to at least spend, I spent five to seven years just in the thankless grassroots.
00:14:37.000 And then I was like, oh, I guess I've got to go start social media accounts.
00:14:40.000 I didn't start a Facebook page until like 2014, 2015.
00:14:43.000 Well, like three years into...
00:14:47.000 I was too busy traveling the country, raising money.
00:14:49.000 I mean, I was all over the place.
00:14:51.000 And now kids show up.
00:14:52.000 They're like, oh, I want to be famous.
00:14:53.000 Like, hold on a second.
00:14:55.000 You got to calm down.
00:14:57.000 Like, you got to go do the work.
00:14:58.000 You got to cut your teeth.
00:15:00.000 You got to knock on doors.
00:15:01.000 You got to chase ballots.
00:15:02.000 You got to make phone calls.
00:15:03.000 You do not know anything about politics until you've had to go knock on 100 doors and only 10 of them are answered.
00:15:09.000 And out of the 10 that are answered, some slam the door on you because...
00:15:17.000 Awesome.
00:15:17.000 Thank you so much.
00:15:18.000 Thank you, Jordan.
00:15:19.000 That's my advice to you.
00:15:22.000 The world is waking up to the power of gold.
00:15:25.000 National banks are scrambling to secure it.
00:15:27.000 According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024.
00:15:34.000 The third straight year of net gold buying.
00:15:37.000 They understand what many investors don't.
00:15:39.000 Gold is real money.

00:16:23.000 Joni, thank you for being a member.
00:16:25.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:16:26.000 What's on your mind?
00:16:27.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:16:28.000 How are you doing?
00:16:29.000 Good.
00:16:30.000 How are you?
00:16:30.000 Great.
00:16:31.000 I just want to let you know, I've been listening to your podcast since 2021, and I just finished listening to your debate at the University of Cambridge.
00:16:42.000 Oh, well, first of all, thank you for your many years of listening.
00:16:45.000 What did you make of that?
00:16:46.000 Oh, my gosh.
00:16:47.000 I was blown away, first of all.
00:16:50.000 So impressed by your knowledge.
00:16:52.000 They just came at you.
00:16:54.000 What a tough crowd.
00:16:56.000 They came at you with...
00:16:58.000 variety of topics and just the breadth and depth with facts and studies and and you just you came at them just came back at them just with such Would you do anything different?
00:17:24.000 Would you add anything?
00:17:25.000 I just want to hear your thoughts on that.
00:17:27.000 What a great question, and thank you for that encouragement.
00:17:29.000 It's gone very viral, and I think Oxford will go even more viral.
00:17:33.000 I always start with this.
00:17:35.000 There are no excuses ever when you're in the position that I'm in.
00:17:38.000 It doesn't matter if you're outnumbered 1 to 4,000 or 1 to 40,000.
00:17:42.000 You play to win.
00:17:43.000 However, context does matter, and I want people to know this.
00:17:47.000 So, of course, that was 5,000 miles from my home.
00:17:50.000 Super jet-lagged, red-eye flight, little sleep, and all that.
00:17:53.000 So all of that factored in.
00:17:55.000 Also, as soon as I showed up at Cambridge, I felt the energy, and I turned to Mikey and Blake.
00:18:04.000 I said, this is going to be a rumble.
00:18:06.000 This is going to be a brawl.
00:18:08.000 And Mikey's like, what do you mean?
00:18:09.000 I said, no, no, no.
00:18:10.000 I can feel it.
00:18:11.000 I said, this is all fake niceties.
00:18:13.000 They are setting this thing.
00:18:14.000 This is an intellectual gladiatorial match that is about to unfold.
00:18:19.000 And so she literally introduces me, and not a single person applauds.
00:18:25.000 You could see that.
00:18:26.000 No like, oh yeah, courtesy.
00:18:27.000 It was just cold.
00:18:30.000 Stone stairs. 0.99
00:18:31.000 So we do this back and forth, this question and answer, and her questions were so banal and they were so dumb and shallow. 0.94
00:18:39.000 She was just reading off a Wikipedia page. 0.75
00:18:41.000 So I go and then I take the questions and I'll do that. 0.86
00:18:43.000 And some of the questions were just really silly. 0.76
00:18:46.000 And look, some of those kids, obviously they talked fast.
00:18:49.000 But understand, they had an open link on the Cambridge Union website.
00:18:54.000 Where they were like, who here wants to debate Charlie Kirk?
00:18:58.000 They were openly saying they were taking applications for debating, not for asking questions.
00:19:03.000 That was literally in their email.
00:19:05.000 Who wants to go debate Charlie Kirk?
00:19:07.000 I don't care.
00:19:08.000 So they have all week to come up with a singular topic that I don't know what they're going to ask one after the other to come up to try to get a gotcha against me. 0.91
00:19:18.000 So all that, and then the entire, the audience was applauding at the dumbest stuff imaginable.
00:19:22.000 All that to say, I'm very thankful for how I did.
00:19:25.000 They had beyond a home field advantage.
00:19:27.000 I think I had like three supporters in the audience.
00:19:29.000 Only thing I would have done differently is I wish I would have taken the mic at the end when it was over and just done the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:19:36.000 That's my only regret.
00:19:37.000 I wish I would have just taken the mic and just went straight gospel and just, because that would have just, I think they would have booed me and I think I should have just kept talking until they like dragged me out of there.
00:19:47.000 I think that would have been really cool.
00:19:48.000 And I don't want to say I regret it.
00:19:50.000 The only other thing is that looking back at the footage, I think there's a couple elements of things I probably could have emphasized more, like the fast-talking Cambridge girl with the American flag.
00:20:02.000 She said America's terrible to women while she was wearing an American flag, so I probably could have emphasized on that one. 1.00
00:20:07.000 The meth hobbit, the guy that was jumping all over the place that was anti-Israel, I actually thought...
00:20:19.000 But the thing I'm most proud of is that I didn't get upset.
00:20:23.000 I didn't get indignant.
00:20:25.000 I did not become frenetic or frantic, which is very hard in a situation where it is 400 people against one.
00:20:33.000 But thank you for that encouragement.
00:20:34.000 It means a lot, and the response has been so overwhelmingly positive.
00:20:39.000 Of people that said, we just love what you did.
00:20:41.000 And so, Joni, thank you for that.
00:20:43.000 It really means a lot.
00:20:44.000 You slayed it.
00:20:45.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:20:46.000 Thanks for all you do.
00:20:47.000 Thank you very much.
00:20:48.000 That is the highest stakes, one of the hardest environments I've ever had to be in. 0.99
00:20:54.000 And the overwhelming vote is that we crushed it and that Cambridge looked like a bunch of fools. 0.98
00:21:00.000 Hudson, what is on your mind? 0.99
00:21:01.000 Thanks for being a member.
00:21:02.000 Happy Friday.
00:21:02.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com Hey, Charlie.
00:21:05.000 How are we doing this morning, man?
00:21:06.000 I'm doing great.
00:21:07.000 Thank you.
00:21:08.000 I'm also here in the great state of Arizona, and I want to run something by you.
00:21:12.000 Please do, and I hope you're supporting Andy Biggs.
00:21:15.000 Oh, of course.
00:21:16.000 So a couple days ago, I recently broke things off with my girlfriend.
00:21:19.000 The main reason of that was political differences, and I was wondering, as a married man yourself, could you elaborate on why that's not a good idea to try and have a long-term relationship with someone with opposite political views?
00:21:30.000 Thank you for that.
00:21:31.000 I've done an entire, let's just say, campus, not talk, but a campus conversation.
00:21:40.000 I do not believe that you should build a life with somebody that doesn't share your values.
00:21:48.000 In old days, this didn't matter as much, to be honest, 20 or 30 years ago, because you could still have similar values but different politics.
00:21:58.000 However, it is a completely different thing nowadays.
00:22:01.000 Think about it.
00:22:02.000 If you are going to have children, well, that's now a political question.
00:22:06.000 If you are going to give them every single vaccine, what worldview are you going to raise those kids in?
00:22:12.000 Are you going to be raised in a religious household?
00:22:16.000 And how about this?
00:22:17.000 Let's pretend that you're not even having kids yet and you just get married to somebody.
00:22:20.000 What are you going to watch on TV?
00:22:22.000 Are you going to watch the latest trans drag queen thing on Netflix?
00:22:27.000 Or are you going to watch a World War II documentary?
00:22:29.000 Almost everything is laced with politics.
00:22:34.000 From the very morning where you're flipping through your daily news cycle, don't you want to be able to talk about your partner for life, about how you view the world comfortably and not have to walk on eggshells and be like, oh, we don't talk about that here.
00:22:46.000 That is a volcano waiting to erupt.
00:22:49.000 That is a combustible engine.
00:22:51.000 And finally, if you have kids, are you going to raise them as conservatives or raise them as liberals?
00:22:56.000 Are you going to raise them as Christians or raise them as atheists? 0.80
00:22:59.000 Are you going to raise them a belief in God?
00:23:01.000 It goes on and on and on.
00:23:02.000 A house-divided.
00:23:04.000 Cannot stand.
00:23:05.000 And some people say, well, my wife has, you know, we've been liberal for 30 years.
00:23:09.000 I think it was different 30 or 40 years ago.
00:23:11.000 I still wouldn't recommend it, but it was a different country.
00:23:14.000 It was a different paradigm.
00:23:16.000 In today's America, I strongly insist and encourage you should not marry or even seriously date somebody with differing political views or a different worldview.
00:23:29.000 And you are inviting a recipe for disaster.
00:23:33.000 So you made the right decision.
00:23:35.000 And for men out there, if you are dating a liberal woman, you should break up with her immediately.
00:23:42.000 Juan, thank you for your question.
00:23:44.000 Juan, thank you for that.
00:23:46.000 We really appreciate it.
00:23:47.000 Juan, thanks for being a member.
00:23:48.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:23:49.000 Juan, what is on your mind?
00:23:52.000 I sent you a story about me.
00:23:55.000 I came to the States four years ago.
00:23:58.000 I'm from Argentina, originally born and raised, to study and be here.
00:24:05.000 But I'm a strong believer on all the values that you always talk all throughout your videos and everything.
00:24:16.000 And I'm a supporter of Mille in part in Argentina, but what's...
00:24:26.000 What's your best advice for someone like me to leverage my unique perspective and faith to inspire fellow young conservatives, both Americans and non-Americans, newcomers like me, to get involved into shaping this country?
00:24:46.000 That's a beautiful question, Juan.
00:24:48.000 Thank you for that.
00:24:49.000 Juan, here's what I would say.
00:24:50.000 I think you need to tell the story of how Argentina was once one of the wealthiest countries in the world, which is true.
00:24:57.000 And because of the Eva Perón types and socialism the last 40 or 50 years, Argentina became one of the poorest countries in South America.
00:25:07.000 And it's completely and totally because of conscious public policy decisions.
00:25:14.000 It's because of a series of political decisions that were made in Argentina.
00:25:19.000 To say, oh, we're not going to export grass-fed beef. 1.00
00:25:21.000 I'm sure you're familiar with that stupid decision. 0.99
00:25:23.000 Or we're going to have overwhelming government benefits. 0.99
00:25:27.000 Argentina was and still is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet.
00:25:33.000 I mean, it is incredible.
00:25:35.000 There is a reason why some really, really bad hombres in World War II found refuge in Argentina.
00:25:41.000 It's beautiful and it's easy to hide in Argentina, right?
00:25:45.000 It's a very big country.
00:25:46.000 I would tell Americans a cautionary tale that if you don't get your house in order, you can go from rich, you can go from wealthy to poor, or to poverty quite quickly.
00:25:58.000 You see, we in the West, and especially those lunatics at Cambridge, we take wealth so, so for granted.
00:26:04.000 We act as if wealthy is the norm. 0.78
00:26:08.000 Poverty is the norm.
00:26:09.000 Not having anything is the norm.
00:26:12.000 Now, Juan, really quick, in 30 seconds.
00:26:15.000 What did you see in Argentina from a poverty standpoint?
00:26:19.000 Just so you guys know, it used to be rich as an Argentinian.
00:26:21.000 It used to be an idiom.
00:26:22.000 Not anymore.
00:26:23.000 Talk about the poverty that you saw in Argentina.
00:26:26.000 It is pretty big.
00:26:28.000 It is from wealth and education because of what you said about Perón and all that.
00:26:36.000 all the institutions.
00:26:39.000 We, our labor laws are based on Mussolini's Carta de Laboro, keep fighting for freedom.
00:27:07.000 I have traveled the world.
00:27:08.000 I have never been to South America.
00:27:11.000 Well, yeah, it's true.
00:27:12.000 I've been—I actually haven't.
00:27:14.000 I've been to an island near it, but I haven't been.
00:27:16.000 I have not been to South America, and I really want to dive into South American culture and learn and see, because there is incredible potential.
00:27:24.000 There's incredible upside that is untapped, largely because of resentment-driven socialist-type policies.
00:27:30.000 God bless you, Juan.
00:27:31.000 We need more people coming to our country like you and less like Ilhan Omar.
00:27:37.000 America's small businesses rely on TikTok to succeed, helping them attract more customers and drive more growth.
00:27:44.000 From small batch sellers to fast growing brands, 74% of businesses on TikTok say it's helped them scale.
00:27:50.000 We go super viral on TikTok here on this program, reaching billions and billions of views.
00:27:55.000 You see, by hiring more employees, boosting sales, and expanding new locations, like AZ Taco King, who grew up from a mom-and-pop taco cart to two thriving restaurants in just a year, or Coco Asante, who upgraded to a larger facility and brought on more staff, letting their handcrafted chocolates reach more customers, or Dan O's Seasonings, who went from a one-man show to a team of 45, now supporting dozens of hardworking families.
00:28:20.000 With TikTok, small businesses are thriving.
00:28:22.000 Our certainly is.
00:28:23.000 Again, reaching hundreds of millions of people a week on TikTok.
00:28:27.000 One of the reasons we're able to win the youth vote is thanks to what we can do on TikTok.
00:28:32.000 Finding their customers and expanding.

00:28:52.000 Okay, everybody.
00:28:53.000 Maddie.
00:28:54.000 Maddie, what is on your mind?
00:28:55.000 Thanks for being a member.
00:28:56.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:28:57.000 What's on your mind?
00:28:58.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:28:59.000 Thank you so much for being on here and doing this.
00:29:03.000 My question is, do you believe that the Israel-Palestine conflict is fundamentally rooted in territorial disputes, or are religious differences the primary driving force behind it?
00:29:15.000 In your view, would the events of October 7th still have occurred if Israel were a majority Muslim state occupying the same land?
00:29:24.000 It's a great question.
00:29:25.000 The answer is no.
00:29:26.000 What happened on October 7th is uniquely radical Islamic terror.
00:29:30.000 You could say a lot against Israel.
00:29:32.000 I have no evidence ever whatsoever that the Israeli government or Jews or Christians would do what they did on October 7th. 0.90
00:29:39.000 with GoPros in hand, going to kibbutzes, dance festivals, doing kidnapping, slitting of people's throats, celebrating it.
00:29:47.000 We had a peace, we had relative peace on October 6, and Islamists, Mohammedans, in Gaza, It's very bizarre and very perverse. 1.00
00:30:00.000 It's almost like they wanted Israel to overreact, to turn the world against Israel.
00:30:03.000 You have to wonder kind of what Gaza's calculation actually was.
00:30:07.000 It was a mini-attempted Holocaust on October 7th. 0.56
00:30:10.000 This really is a struggle, but there's three ways to think about the Israel conflict.
00:30:16.000 You could be anti-Jewish, of which I have no tolerance for whatsoever.
00:30:19.000 You could be anti-Israel, which we could debate.
00:30:22.000 But that's still, you know, something.
00:30:24.000 Or you can be anti-Israeli government.
00:30:25.000 Those are three separate things.
00:30:27.000 However, you must be intellectually and morally honest.
00:30:30.000 I get asked about the Israel conflict all the time.
00:30:31.000 You must understand that this is a civilizational struggle.
00:30:35.000 This is barbarians versus civilization.
00:30:38.000 It's that simple.
00:30:39.000 You could try to curtail it any way you want.
00:30:41.000 You could try to fasten it.
00:30:42.000 Look, I don't.
00:30:43.000 I am a Christian.
00:30:45.000 When anyone dies, it pains me.
00:30:47.000 When young Gazan kids are being killed, it's terrible.
00:30:51.000 Unfortunately, in war, people die.
00:30:53.000 It is not good.
00:30:54.000 It is not something that we should celebrate.
00:30:56.000 War is awful. 0.99
00:30:57.000 And when I see videos of IDF soldiers that are celebrating when they're bombing buildings, they've got to cut that crap out, too. 0.99
00:31:03.000 You've got to stop it. 0.99
00:31:04.000 You shouldn't be celebrating when you're bombing buildings.
00:31:07.000 I would say that, however, the most important component is this, is that it's a civilizational struggle.
00:31:17.000 I do want to get to the next question, though.
00:31:20.000 We can dive into that topic even more.
00:31:22.000 I think I've thoroughly talked about it.
00:31:24.000 Matt, what's on your mind?
00:31:26.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:31:27.000 How's it going today?
00:31:28.000 Good.
00:31:28.000 How are you?
00:31:29.000 Happy Friday.
00:31:30.000 Thanks for everything you do, as always.
00:31:31.000 My question's a little different.
00:31:33.000 It's a unique perspective you might have on the Officer Chauvin situation, you know, with the whispers.
00:31:40.000 And I think he should be rightfully pardoned, though that's going to be a federal only.
00:31:45.000 And then it goes back to because he was convicted in state and federal charges.
00:31:49.000 Again, nope.
00:31:50.000 You can argue if it was right or not.
00:31:51.000 I don't think it was.
00:31:52.000 But will some MAGA state harbor him and tell Minnesota to come get him to exudite him?
00:31:58.000 Or if he is federally pardoned, how would you see that playing now?
00:32:01.000 It's a very complicated question, and it's a good question.
00:32:03.000 I'm not even sure that Chauvin wants a pardon at this point, because that would actually put him, that would actually throw him in a worse prison on the state level Of course he does.
00:32:16.000 George Floyd died of a drug overdose.
00:32:18.000 That's something we've known for quite some time.
00:32:21.000 You're not allowed to say that out loud, but George Floyd obviously died of a drug overdose.
00:32:25.000 Just look at the original, unedited.
00:32:27.000 Non-politically pressured, non-politically motivated Hennepin County Medical Examiner Report.
00:32:33.000 George Floyd was saying, quote, I can't breathe when he was in the back of the police car before anybody laid hands on him.
00:32:40.000 Yes.
00:32:41.000 That's the part they never show.
00:32:42.000 Yes.
00:32:43.000 And he was with two other people, and they are both alive today.
00:32:47.000 They don't show you that.
00:32:48.000 And so, did Derek Chauvin act perfectly?
00:32:50.000 No.
00:32:51.000 I don't think we've ever made that case.
00:32:53.000 But he does not deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.
00:32:57.000 Most of this, though, is Minnesota-centric, unfortunately, unless there will eventually be a Minnesota governor that will pardon him.
00:33:07.000 He'll probably never get out of prison.
00:33:09.000 but federally he should be completely and totally pardoned.
00:33:12.000 Well, no, but that's the thought though, is if he was federally pardoned, you know, So couldn't federal officers grab him and then just move him to Florida?
00:33:20.000 No.
00:33:20.000 Well, that's interesting.
00:33:21.000 But no, we do have a respecting of the state's sovereign rights, as long as they're not conflicting with the U.S. Constitution, which it wouldn't be, because he's still under state law.
00:33:31.000 And we do have a federalist system there.
00:33:33.000 And I wouldn't even necessarily even support that because you do.
00:33:36.000 For example, you don't want a Joe Biden president to all of a sudden start grabbing illegal aliens, you know, or a future AOC president to start grabbing illegal aliens from, you know, Texas and bringing them to New York so they could run for mayor or some nonsense.
00:33:48.000 But no, look, to answer your question, Derek Chauvin should be.
