Join us at the Student Action Summit in Tampa, FL where we will hear from many of the world's most influential conservative youth influencers. Today's guest, Bonnie, shares her story of how her son was exposed to the truth about the dark side of history, and why she fears for her son's ability to discern the truth from the lies.
00:00:28.000We have Pete Hegseth coming, Christine Noam, Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, Greg Gutfeld, Laura Ingram, Ross Ulbricht, Byron Donalds, Tom Homan, Ben Carson, Brett Cooper, Michael Knowles, Brandon Tatum, Benny Johnson, Jack Pesobic, Riley Gaines, James O'Keefe, and more.
00:01:28.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, turning point USA.
00:01:35.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:33.000My question, my young adult son's eyes were open to a lot of the lies during COVID and Biden, Trump, and that made me thrilled that he's questioning things.
00:02:46.000But now I'm hearing things from him that it makes me fear for his discernment.
00:02:52.000For example, he expressed some anti-Semitic takes on history that maybe Hitler's motives for wanting to be rid of the Jews weren't so wrong, even if how he went about it was evil.
00:03:03.000And my fear is that in going from one extreme to another, trusting the mainstream media and government to now questioning or distrusting everything, he's believing different lies.
00:03:14.000So I'd like to know where he's getting these lies.
00:03:17.000I've heard a little bit about the Groipers from Not the Be.
00:04:46.000And one of the, yeah, okay, just shot in the dark.
00:04:49.000Now, one of the reasons why it's a challenge for young, white, conservative, disposed men is because they feel as if they have to keep on peeling back the onion to find a conspiracy when in reality there might not always be one.
00:05:03.000And sometimes you're searching in the wrong direction.
00:05:18.000One of the major problems is that a lot of these narratives appeal to secret knowledge, otherwise known as Gnosticism.
00:05:28.000At the core of so much of the Jew hatred and the anti-Semitism is an appeal of Gnosticism.
00:05:36.000We have secret knowledge, and there's this dark alley that the search for secret knowledge can go.
00:05:42.000And of course, you know this on this program.
00:05:45.000We've never been an apologist for everything that the Israeli government has ever done.
00:05:49.000But anyone with a decent moral compass should reject the scapegoating of Jews.
00:05:53.000By the way, you want to talk about low IQ, just such sloppy, shallow, reprehensible behavior, blaming an entire group for all of your problems.
00:06:04.000And there is a much better way, which is you have to, of course, acknowledge that the Israeli government does not do everything right.
00:06:13.000But number two, they're not to blame for all of the world's ills either.
00:06:17.000This particular affliction blames the Jews for everything.
00:06:22.000There is knowledge, they say, and by the way, there is knowledge that is secret and correct.
00:06:26.000Like 15 years ago, immigration is a disaster for America.
00:06:29.000They don't Integrate and they exploit our system, that was basically secret knowledge as well.
00:06:34.000It was secret knowledge to simply say that white men are discriminated against college.
00:06:38.000However, at times, and we see this with the Jew hatred, there is just this momentum that is occurring where people think that they're onto something, but in reality, they're not.
00:06:50.000And unfortunately, these are a lot of people that need to be told to start taking responsibility for their own actions and don't blame other people for your problems, especially a group of people that is 0.02% of the world's population.
00:07:06.000And here's where it gets people very angry.
00:07:09.000It is fundamentally a liberal attitude to blame other people for your problems.
00:07:15.000The left blames white men, and some people blame the Jews.
00:07:20.000So I'm not going to tell you the influencers here on air.
00:07:23.000I know who obviously they all are here, Bonnie.
00:07:28.000Make sure that he finds, let's say, people such as myself or even Matt Walsh that have a much more reasonable approach to these issues because it's very tempting to engage.
00:07:39.000And yet I hate the term conspiracy theory because so many conspiracy theories have turned up.
00:07:43.000But it is very tempting to engage in, let's just say, deep internet theories that constantly have the goalposts changing that quite honestly are rooted in lunacy and rooted in complete nonsensical type stuff.
00:08:00.000It is more helpful to first take a step back and say, what exactly do you believe and why do you believe it?
00:08:08.000I find this is a symptom of being hyper online.
00:08:11.000Bonnie, can I ask you, and I don't want to add out your son, but what are some of the things that he is saying that would you find to be most troubling?
00:08:20.000That one in particular really troubled me.
00:08:23.000My father was a World War II vet who freed a Holocaust Buchmalt.
00:08:28.000And so when he said that Hitler's motives were maybe not so bad, that the Jews own all the banks and they seem to be behind everything that he's been reading.
00:08:57.000So, Bonnie, thank you for pressing pause on that.
00:09:00.000I hope this is a wake-up call for the audience that I don't just fight radical left-wing lunacy.
00:09:07.000At times, I have to fight people that have devolved into very dark stuff.
00:09:14.000It's weird when people want to defend Hitler.
00:09:18.000Like, if you think forever wars in America are bad, why can't you hate a guy who started a global war completely electively and destroyed his own country?
00:09:27.000And he attacked his neighbors and got destroyed.
00:09:56.000By the time this show ends, another American family farm will shut down.
00:10:00.000Not because they stopped working, but because a lot of grocery store meat doesn't come from them anymore.
00:10:06.000Over 85% of the grass-fed beef in the U.S. stores is imported, and most people have no idea.
00:10:11.000That's why I get all of my meat from goodranchers.com.
00:10:14.000GoodRanchers doesn't just sell meat, they guide you back to the source.
00:10:17.000All Good Ranchers products are 100% born, raised, and harvested in the USA from local family farms.
00:10:23.000And with summer in full swing, there's nothing better than good food shared with your friends and family.
00:10:27.000Whether it's burgers by the pool, steaks on the grill, or nuggets for an easy meal, make sure you're serving America's best meat this summer.
00:10:33.000Plus, if you subscribe to any Good Ranchers box today, you'll get your pick of free meat for life.
00:10:37.000That's free wagu burgers, hot dogs, bacon, or chicken wings in every box for the lifetime of your subscription.
00:10:44.000And if you use my exclusive code Kirk at checkout, you'll get extra $40 off your first box.
00:11:52.000And part of me just feel, hey, you know, delivering the campaign promises is great.
00:11:58.000Passing the BBB bill should unite Aman MAGA instead of splitting.
00:12:03.000I really wonder if there are a few places where we can give the public a bit more education, explanation, clarification, to help people to understand how come it incurs the budget to be so big spent, right?
00:12:18.000I think, for example, really quick, you were interviewing the Borders Art the other day.
00:12:23.000You were asking, I think you're getting some of the questions I have in my mind.
00:12:26.000You're asking, hey, how many people are we deporting per day?
00:12:39.000If 8,000 per day with all that infujing in budget, how many years does it take to deport all the ones we need to deport, right?
00:12:47.000So can someone help bridge the math between the 2 billion to the 45 billion?
00:12:53.000You know, we're doing the right things.
00:12:55.000But I wonder if a little bit more transparency, education, and bridging the math, right, would help more people to be united behind this budget, this bill.
00:13:59.000As a teacher, how can I do more to reverse the perverse indoctrination of my students during the past four years?
00:14:07.000Well, so as a teacher, first and foremost, you should reject any of the transgender LGBTQ nonsense that might be thrown into the curriculum.
00:14:20.000Any of the DEI stuff, you should not be imparting left-wing values onto the kids that you teach under any circumstances possible.
00:14:29.000And let me remind you, these are not your children.
00:14:32.000They are the parents' children that you are instructing.
00:16:02.000What's on your mind, members.charliekirk.com.
00:16:05.000Well, so I've just been listening to you for a really long time and I know you have really strong opinions on college and I really agree with all of them.
00:16:12.000But as I don't really have a plan for my life in the future right now, and as I head into college and just life in general, I was wondering how I could go about finding a godly man.
00:17:04.000If you go to any SEC school, yeah, a lot of them are degenerates, but there's a lot of godly men, I got to tell you, Grace, that love the Lord, that are in prime mating age.
00:17:14.000And by the way, I'm trying to understand why the media found what I said so objectionable.
00:17:19.000Because I said, only if it's your top priority.
00:17:21.000I didn't say all women should go to get an MRS degree.
00:17:23.000If you want to go study, you know, engineering, whatever, that's fine.
00:17:26.000But Blake's sister, for example, is a great example.
00:17:30.000He says, look, his sister went to engineering school just to get a husband, succeeded, has three kids at 26.
00:18:20.000They weren't into all like lesbian feminism theory.
00:18:23.000They're like very serious and they'll earn a lot of money and they want to find a wife.
00:18:27.000So, Grace, if, if, if finding a husband is your top priority, I will defend the MRS degree thing.
00:18:32.000People lose their mind when I say this.
00:18:34.000I say, no, go to college with the intent to marry if that's your top priority and you'll have a much higher likelihood than getting a degree and becoming a CEO of a shoe company and then starting when you're 31.
00:19:30.000It's the kind of storytelling Hollywood forgot how to do.
00:19:33.000Angel is also behind shows like The Tuttle Twins, teaching kids the principles of freedom and personal responsibility.
00:19:39.000And Green and Gold, a small-town story about a family standing up for their values and risking it all to save their farm.
00:19:45.000These aren't just good films, they're cultural reset buttons.

00:20:14.000Brandon, thank you for being a member.
00:20:49.000So let me just kind of go through some of the basics.
00:20:52.000Obviously, Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl is very, very important.
00:21:00.000Anything by C.S. Lewis, so Mere Christianity in particular, which I love.
00:21:06.000I'm currently working through a book called Doctrine by Mark Driscoll and Gary Bashiers, because it was recommended to me by a couple people.
00:24:39.000So, hey, so I am a naturalized immigrant.
00:24:43.000Okay, so when these leftists talk about, you know, immigrant community, community, they are not talking about us.
00:24:49.000Okay, there are millions of naturalized Americans that are hell-bent on preserving the American dream, preserving Western civilization, preserving civil liberty, rule of law.
00:25:01.000So I follow you on Twitter, and I'm not just fighting the work left.
00:29:29.000When you stand firm on timeless principles, all of a sudden, you don't have to work like the Democrats do where they're trying to recreate Angelina Jolie's Christmas card.
00:29:40.000So all of a sudden, a lot of different people, they're attracted to liberty, they're attracted to strength, they're attracted to patriotism, they're attracted to merit.
00:29:48.000And it turns out that you get these incredible testimonials of people from Ethiopia.
00:29:53.000And I love when people that have come to this country legally say, if you don't assimilate, get out.
00:30:19.000You can save babies by providing ultrasounds with pre-born.
00:30:23.000Together with the sanctity of human life month, we're going to save 35,000 babies to show the world that not only do we believe life is precious, but we're going to do something about it.
00:30:32.000Your gift of pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:30:37.000What better way to start this new year than to join us to save babies?
00:30:41.000And $28 a month will save a baby a month all year long.
00:30:45.000A $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.
00:30:51.000And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.
00:30:55.000I am a donor to this organization, and you should be too.
00:30:58.000Start this new year by being a hero for life.
00:31:00.000Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:31:06.000That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.
00:32:02.000And even though we're a red state, I would say that 20% of the Democrats here are Christian church going centurist Democrats that have been confused by that message.
00:32:17.000And I think if they understood it, it might take another hunk out of the Democrat Party.
00:32:24.000No, I mean, that's an important point.
00:32:57.000When Christ our Lord was talking about helping the poor and helping the destitute and helping the hungry, he was talking about individuals doing so.
00:33:05.000Christ our Lord never advocated for a bloated, massive, permanent bureaucratic social welfare state that addicted people to government benefits and did not have them work.
00:33:13.000In fact, Paul said in the scriptures that if a man does not work, he shall not eat.
00:33:18.000In Proverbs repeated, if a man does not work, he shall not eat.
00:33:21.000Literally, what this bill does is that you will not get government benefits if you do not fulfill the work requirement.
00:33:26.000We as Christians, of course, we believe in helping those that need and helping the sick and feeding the hungry and clothing the naked.
00:33:49.000But never talks about the unborn or men and female sports or never talks about the southern border invasion or the rapists or the murderers.
00:33:56.000But instead, he'll use one specific verse out of context to try to say that Christianity supports somehow the Democrat vision of the Leviathan.
00:34:06.000Helping people in need doesn't mean let everyone do whatever they want.
00:34:29.000So I've got a concern about the Trump-Elon gap now, and I'm just wondering what you see as happening in terms of the Doge continuing to go after spending cuts, getting that under control.
00:34:40.000So, yes, I don't know how effective Doge is going to be now that Elon is gone.
00:36:33.000I know that, you know, men say stuff, but we have an outstretched hand here to figure this out, get into a room, say what needs to be said, and then together we can elect more balanced budget fiscal conservatives.
00:36:45.000And I will say this once and I'll say it repeatedly.
00:36:47.000The fact he bought X was a boon and a stimulus to the cause of free speech, the likes of which we may never see again.
00:37:06.000And sorry, I just wanted to ask you a question real quick.
00:37:08.000I keep talking with my dad about the Big Beautiful Bill and the American dollar fiat currency.
00:37:14.000And he sees that the Big Beautiful Bill is going to really affect fiat currency and put the country in debt, maybe take away fiat currency.
