00:00:00.000Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here live from the Bitcoin.com studio.
00:00:04.000On Ask Me Anything episode, we take questions from you and also we talk about liberating Chicago, empowering federal law enforcement to make Chicago a livable, great city again.
00:00:43.000His 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.
00:00:51.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:13.000My main question is around, you know, of course, redistricting the question of the hour, you know, of the hour, certainly with Newsom, and I have to give them some credit, you know, I guess today was actually the last day that they could produce the maps, still not produced, but to get it on the ballot for November, so which is surprising given, you know, the California process usually.
00:01:32.000It's funny, if Xi Jinping comes in town they can clean San Francisco, if they have to do a power grab they can get stuff done quickly.
00:01:50.000Look, I mean, I'm just saying, is the ghost of Pence power play Indiana still kind of working with us i see mark short is out there doing that all of a sudden you know is that right what is mark short saying i i haven't i like i've been following nine other different topics what has mark short been saying well he was he did a long interview like 15 20 minutes with uh with mark halbrin who i think is one of the you know the only real journalists left in the country um certainly i love mark on this program mark mark is great keep going and he and he did a long interview with mark short
00:02:21.000you know we understand short was part of the reason you know around the january 6 stuff you know the codification of the of the big steel which again it's in many ways providential but a different story but he's without going Trumpism and all this stuff.
00:02:36.000They're still trying to play defense over here.
00:02:38.000And I just wonder if some of those sentiments are making their way through the halls of Indianapolis.
00:02:44.000So I've sent out a couple tweets, and we're trying to do our best to pressure Indiana to respond in proper kind to this redistricting fight.
00:02:55.000California is going to have a really tough time doing this, though.
00:02:59.000If California does what California might do, then Indiana absolutely has to respond.
00:03:04.000However, I will tell you that there is this escalatory moment that Texas was rebalancing a terrible gerrymandered situation from Illinois and other states, but keep on escalating to other states.
00:03:20.000It's, boy, you're going to have widespread gerrymandering and redistricting proliferation.
00:03:26.000And so it will be very, it will be very, I'm very curious to see.
00:03:31.000how California is going to navigate this because they do have they have the public measure they have the ballot measure that passed it's technically in their constitution but generally I think we should try to find an off-ramp here because a gerrymandering arms race is not great for the country but it might be necessary and if that's where we go we will not surrender we will win such gerrymandering arms race thank you for being a member my friend really appreciate it happy friday gregory thanks for being a member members.charliekirk.com what's on your mind i don't know if you remember me but
00:04:00.000i'm actually the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the u.s we met at the tournament i do of course i i know you gregory yes in fact uh i sent your information to our team we might have you involved in a um in a panel at amphest uh a breakout but yes what is on what is on your mind my friend that would be great but really uh the specific thing i want to ask you about is election fraud so recently i uncovered uh big A big election fraud scandal in the southern Texas region in
00:04:31.000Webb County and Frio County, where there were like 15 Democrats who were arrested for like a ridiculous amount of election fraud, like ballot harvesting.
00:04:42.000And one of those people who were who I connected to the incident was actually an indicted congressman, Henry Quayler, who currently.
00:04:51.000is in the U.S. House of Representatives indicted on bribery charges on stealing $600,000 from a Mexican bank and an Azerbaijan oil company.
00:05:03.000But basically when I uncovered this, I realized that there were significant election fraud incidents not only throughout rural America, but also like all around our country.
00:05:15.000And it stems from absentee ballots, mail in ballots.
00:05:19.000And I guess my question to you would be, how can we put an end to this election fraud?
00:05:24.000Because it's not realistic to say that we're not going to have any more mail in ballots or any more absentee ballots.
00:05:47.000That is a tougher thicket to navigate, but the voter rolls are the original sin of faulty elections.
00:05:54.000When you have people that have moved, when you have people that are dead that are still on voter rolls, you have to be able to clean it up.
00:06:00.000You need to tighten the time frame, mail out fewer ballots.
00:06:17.000Mail and balloting is subject to massive fraud, massive issues and shenanigans, the likes of which that none of us should be comforfortable with.
00:06:25.000Other countries used to have it and they reversed it.
00:06:28.000We need to look into all these murky databases, by the way, all the voter rolls.
00:06:45.000We don't know who's actually filling out this ballot.
00:06:48.000We do not because you can't sell your vote that way.
00:06:51.000When you have mass mail and balloting, you're opening it up towards scam rings, cartels, gangs to be able to scoop up your ballot, purchase your ballot, and do other fraudulent stuff alongside of it.
00:09:22.000I'm not an advocate, but there's some mechanism by which President, if Speaker Johnson will reconvene the House that can trigger something that allows President Trump to take control of the situation so he can put in recess appointments.
00:10:40.000get it over with the second of which you do it as a package it is a package vote the second thing that you do is you get rid of this blue slip thing the blue slip thing is beyond annoying it is actually undermining of all the great work that President Trump wants to do.
00:10:56.000So for example, in Arizona, in California, in Washington, in Oregon, in Georgia, in Delaware, in Rhode Island, in New York City, you are not able to get a Republican U.S. attorney if a Democrat objects to it.
00:11:10.000Literally, it's not allowed if a Democrat objects to it.
00:13:30.000Gentlemen, let's get real for a second.
00:13:31.000Are you frustrated with today's woke dating apps?
00:13:34.000The apps, the games, the endless swiping, it's a waste of time.
00:13:38.000Finding a woman who shares your values, faith, family, and patriotism, feels nearly impossible, but it doesn't have to be.
00:13:45.000Selective Search, America's leading matchmaking firm, is changing the game.
00:13:49.000They connect strong, successful men like you, men who love God, love America, and want a family with incredible women who share your values.
00:13:57.000These are intelligent, faith-driven women who put family first and still believe in traditional values.
00:16:29.000African-American ladies, beautiful ladies are saying please President Trump come to Chicago please Chicago averages about five About 500 murders a year, 573 murders a year last year in 2024.
00:17:38.000And I can tell you, as someone who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, I could not be more excited about this.
00:17:44.000I could not be more enthusiastic because Chicago has hit a gutter because of the failed politicians of Lori Lightfoot and of Brandon Johnson.
00:17:53.000Hey, maybe the Bears will stay in Chicago instead of going.
00:17:56.000out to Arlington Heights, I would actually support them going out to Arlington Heights.
00:19:12.000He can surge federal agents, expand ATF, FBI and USMS task forces, go after carjacking, gang cases, and route them all up to federal cases where appropriate.
00:19:25.000Project safe neighborhoods and enforcement zones.
00:19:28.000Also go down on this fugitive carjacking crackdowns.
00:19:31.000U.S. Marshals flood the zone with U.S. Marshals.
00:19:34.000An emergency backstop, if necessary, declare the Insurrection Act.
00:21:43.000By the way, you know who else you forced the issue here?
00:21:46.000Let's get some Barack Hussein Obama commentary on this.
00:21:49.000Take over DC and then someone put a microphone in front of Obama's face.
00:21:53.000Mr. Obama, you never did this when you were president.
00:21:56.000Obama oversaw the death of young blacks in Chicago and could not have cared less.
00:22:01.000Chicago is so big and so murderous that if you can even drop its murder rate in half, you would be dropping the national murder rate by more than 1%.
00:22:10.000Chicago is so big and so murderous that if you could drop its murder rate in half, you'd be dropping the national murder rate by more than 1%.
00:22:19.000And by the way, just throw out some of those black shooting statistics, Brandon Johnson.
00:22:38.000I'm going to say man mr president i'm 100 behind you whatever you need to do a federal takeover of chicago and make this a test case i will do whatever i possibly can mr president i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna probably shoot him a message later on Black men have a cumulative incidence of being shot in Chicago of 11% by age 40.
00:23:00.000That means one out of 10 Black men have been shot by the time they reach 40.
00:23:04.000In Chicago, in Chicago, one out of 10 Black men have been shot by the age of 40.
00:24:57.000Everything about you is an insult to us.
00:24:59.000Brandon Johnson, we're going to fight.
00:25:01.000You don't care about black death Brandon Johnson if you did you'd do something to stop it you know who cares about black death president Trump does in new in Washington DC black death not a single black has been killed in the last week in Chicago declare national emergency flood the zone with ATF FBI take have an entire task force make Chicago another test case One, hold on.
00:25:23.000I just want to be, if anyone thinks I'm wrong here, if one in 10 black men have been shot by the age of 40, how is that not an emergency?
00:25:32.000If one in 10 black men are shot by the age of 40, how is that not an emergency?
00:25:37.000That means if you have a basketball team team at Simeon High School where Derek Rose went and it's 20 people on the basketball team, that means two of the people on that basketball team will be shot by the age of 40.

00:26:13.000TikTok has helped U.S. businesses contribute over $24 billion for the U.S. economy.
00:26:17.000That's real money flowing into small businesses like Arizona Taco King, who went viral on TikTok and hit $1.3 million in sales in their first year.

00:26:59.000Not to change the subject, but in order to segue into my question, i want to note that it is most certainly as you're aware spiritual warfare in chicago and the tone at the top theory is certainly so but my question is actually regarding according to a harvard study which i don't really care for harvard personally but i'm curious to know your thoughts on this a significant portion of gen z as you're probably aware identifies as catholic and
00:27:29.000the percentage of gen z is increasing from 15 percent to 21 percent some say that it is they're finding a meaning in traditional religion and although at the end of the day I'm grateful for them to seek the truth regardless of the denomination but I can't help but be curious of what is attracting them to the Catholic Church versus Protestant.
00:27:53.000Is it the tradition aspect of it and what does that say for the Protestant Church because I have my own personal feelings about Catholicism versus Protestant and my own personal beliefs.
00:28:08.000But my nephew, he is actually a perfect demonstration.
00:28:13.000He's in college right now and he's joined a Christian fraternity and really surprising my entire family with how much he is clinging to God.
00:30:02.000I don't like to go to church in some that feels like a Home Depot or a Costco.
00:30:06.000I want to go to church in a place that's beautiful with stained glass windows that points us up, that challenges me, that lifts my soul, that makes me try to get closer to the transcendent, that is real and that will not change, that is everlasting, that is not going to just move with the culture, but will stand against it.
00:30:26.000And so I've talked to a lot of pastors about this.
00:30:28.000They really aren't, they don't really understand.
00:30:31.000what's happening, but I look at some, but not all, but some of the leaders in the evangelical church like Russell Moore and Rick Warren, and I can see I can see why kids are leaving.
00:30:40.000They're arguing for open borders, BLM, vaccine mandates.
00:30:44.000Increasingly, so many members, leaders in the evangelical church are all about gay pride flags.
00:30:49.000You know what, the Catholic Church, they're great on marriage.
