Join me as I discuss the Elon and Trump feud, the latest in the Iran situation, and much more. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA! (Live from the Bitcoin Studio) - Recorded on-site at BTC.co/TheCharlieKirkShow.
00:00:32.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:38.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:10.000Because not many people are covering it because of all the other headlines.
00:03:13.000And then the other thing is, I just wanted to see if you got an email I sent you a couple weeks ago regarding a topic we talked about regarding Harvard and all that stuff of a theory I had.
00:03:21.000Yeah, and so the email that you sent, I'm not sure, but Mark Green said Monday that he'll resign from Congress after it passes the President Trump's domestic agenda, the reconciliation bill.
00:03:33.000It has been a heavy heart that I announced my retirement from Congress.
00:03:36.000Recently, I was offered an opportunity to the private sector that was too exciting to pass up.
00:04:32.000My brother is kind of a diehard communist, and I was wondering, what can I do to kind of bring him back capitalism and religion and stuff like that?
00:04:42.000So your brother is a diehard communist.
00:07:16.000My question was, how did you become so successful and what advice would you give to someone my age wanting to retire early, you know, 50, 55?
00:07:26.000In order to, you know, enjoy life with my family and maybe go bow hunting with Uncle Ted Nugent on me and I's birthday.
00:08:13.000I have a whole belief that bored men create really bad countries.
00:08:20.000When you have young men, men of any age that is bored and they have a lot of time on their hands, they get into stuff they should not get into.
00:08:29.000So your job is now to pass along wisdom and mentor young people.
00:08:32.000You get involved, the turning point action, but find a new purpose and a new task.
00:08:37.000And honestly, it sounds like you've worked your tail off throughout the years.
00:08:52.000But, you know, as hard as you've worked as an electrician, I'm going to give you advice that other people will probably not have you give.
00:08:58.000That retirement is well earned, but make sure it's not just stationary, sedentary, sitting on the couch or sitting on the recliner.
00:09:07.000You don't strike me as that type of person because God gave you life and we need you to keep pouring into your community and pouring into people around you.
00:09:15.000And so, Patrick, I hope that that resonates with you in some way.
00:09:58.000What I'm saying, it doesn't matter who gets the credit, is what I'm saying.
00:10:01.000But I do think it's important that people recognize and realize that all the work we do here on the show, all of my campus commentary has significant religious and spiritual implications.
00:10:18.000That is to paraphrase a Jewish proverb.
00:10:23.000With all the talk about tariffs, high prices, and the stock market, most people are feeling the financial pinch.
00:10:29.000If that's you, don't liquidate stocks and take a loss before calling my friends Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
00:10:37.000They can look at helping you reduce your mortgage payments, consolidate those high interest credit cards, pay student loan debt or whatever you need by tapping into your home's equity.
00:10:47.000They're one of the rare banks in America that hasn't changed their name or their values in nearly four decades.
00:11:14.000I want to just say one thing before we get to the next question here.
00:11:23.000We are resolutely America first here on this program.
00:11:26.000And I want to keep on getting your emails, freedom at charliekirk.com, how you view this situation in the Middle East, how you view what's happening with Israel, how you view what's happening with Iran.
00:11:37.000That is freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:11:42.000If America were to strike Iran in addition to Israel, how would you feel about that?
00:11:46.000I want your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:11:49.000Okay, Michael, Michael, what's on your mind?
00:11:51.000Members.charliekirk.com, what's on your mind?
00:12:02.000They're actually passing the rescission bills.
00:12:03.000I figured they'd drag it out until midterms.
00:12:06.000But since they've actually gotten off their butt and kept working, do you think the Senate's gonna get off their butt and actually pass the big, beautiful bill?
00:12:48.000I get paid by the mile instead of hourly.
00:12:52.000What do you think the chance would be in the future of turning it from no tax on overtime to no tax on anything made after 40 hours of work?
00:13:09.000I can tell you, though, that specifically for overtime wages, they usually are earning less money, people that are, let's say, open to overtime.
00:13:21.000Now, the tips are somewhat of a loophole, but if you read the bill, it's only up to $10,000 a year that will be not taxed on tips.
00:13:27.000So, for example, you can't just create your entire income to be tips.
00:13:31.000It's up to $10,000 a year, which, by the way, a lot of people in waiters and waitresses make a ton of money.
00:13:39.000You know, as getting tip work and valet, so on and so forth.
00:13:43.000Depending on where you're at, you're going to make more than $10,000 a year in tips.
00:13:50.000And so what part of the big, beautiful bill do you appreciate most?
00:13:53.000I appreciate that they are following through with President Trump's campaign promises.
00:13:59.000I wish instead of it being overtime, it was no tax on anything on wage earners over $40 hours because –
00:14:12.000All of his campaign promises, the border bill and whatnot, I tend to be with Massey and Paul when it comes to reduction in spending, harder reduction in spending and harder reduction in the debt because I know I'm going to have to pay for that eventually and most of the people that are in office right now are going to be dead when that bill comes due.
00:14:34.000But I get that if Congress is passing the rescission bills, they're at least moving in that direction so I'm willing to compromise and let them move.
00:14:41.000They're just moving too slow for my liking.
00:16:34.000Hillsdale College offers more than 40 free online courses.
00:16:37.000That's right, free online courses on subjects like the Book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the history of the ancient Christian church.
00:16:45.000It's hard for me to even say which is my personal favorite.
00:16:47.000You guys have got to take these online courses.
00:16:50.000They've recently launched a new course, Understanding Capitalism, that I've been watching.
00:16:54.000In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a part in our economic system, Why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom.
00:17:05.000And why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it.
00:17:10.000Right now, go to charlieforhillsdale.com to enroll.
00:17:13.000There's no cost and it's easy to get started.
00:17:16.000That's charlieforhillsdale.com to register.
00:18:29.000And I'm going to know, because I'm a human and I have common sense and I have forethought, that that car is going to be merging in.
00:18:37.000Now, I don't know if they're going to look.
00:18:38.000I don't know if they're going to signal.
00:18:39.000I don't know what they're going to do.
00:18:40.000But I know I need to be getting off my cruise control and being ready to react before that car starts to signal that they're going to get into my lane.
00:18:49.000Automation's not there yet, and I have yet to see them being able to look that far ahead and that far out.
00:18:57.000And the fact that, like, for my truck, the factory recommends an extra two to three seconds to kill cruise control and allow the truck to react to whatever next input I'm going to do.
00:19:13.000I'm telling you right now, it's an eternity in an emergency.
00:19:15.000I have had this truck bucked so hard underneath me because I needed it to react faster than the computer wanted it to, and I just said, screw you, you're going to do this, and it didn't like it.
00:19:26.000Really quick, and then we've got to get the next call.
00:19:42.000The only downside is trying to find a wife because they're just like, I'm not home.
00:19:48.000And every single woman I've talked to is like, if you want me home, we've got to figure out what we're going to give up because I cannot make the same money home daily as I do being a long-haul truck driver.
00:19:59.000And that's not normally a very popular conversation.
00:20:29.000Back when Turning Point fit into a Honda Accord, you went and barnstormed Indiana through all the Tea Party meetings, and I met you when you had three people.
00:21:19.000Of course, I asked multiple questions on this, so I'm going to ask perhaps what's the most on my mind right now.
00:21:27.000But what do I do about some of my friends who are pro-Gaza and support illegal immigration?
00:21:32.000I mean, they claim that President Trump is violating due process, but I do know that the founders never intended for the Supreme Court to have the final say interpreting the Constitution.
00:21:41.000So I know it is not as powerful as everyone makes it out to be.
00:21:46.000So you have friends that are pro-Gaza, if I can understand, right?
00:22:00.000I want to make sure I can have a friendly debate without them calling me genocidal or Nazi or anything like that because I know that because I have not debated them about this topic yet.
00:24:48.000When they played the clip of our show with your youth pastor, what were they playing?
00:24:52.000I'm curious, and how was that received?
00:24:54.000It was several of the, I would say, far-left students in these campuses asking questions, very provocative questions, and these were short clips because he did have a message to preach.
00:25:17.000You know, sharing, just giving our audience the idea, the feel of what's out there on our campuses, and then your work for what you're doing to combat that.
00:26:29.000I'll tell you, though, that with all of this Iranian-Israeli activity, expect serious pro-Hamas protests throughout the summer that will then intersect.
00:26:38.000Remember, we did an entire show on intersectionality.
00:26:57.000By the way, President Trump reports NBC.
00:27:01.000Trump says Iranian officials calling him to discuss the situation.
00:27:07.000I will say, it was hilarious when President Trump was, the U.S. was like, oh yeah, we planned to meet with Iran on Sunday.
00:27:16.000Meanwhile, Iran's like completely decimated.
00:27:19.000And it's like mafioso tactics against Iran, where, you know, Trump sits, the Trump envoy, Wyckoff, sits down with Iran like, oh, what happened to your predecessor?
00:31:16.000It is a newsletter that, it's amazing, it comes and it tells about the day's events, and then it has an amazing thing afterwards that tells you the perspective of being a Christ, to what, you know, all these events that are happening, it settles your mind.
00:31:33.000Let me just give you a quick answer, and then we've got to dash, okay?
