00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You gotta stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a turning point, you would say college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a turning point you'll say high school chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:38.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am, Lord use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:08.000 This is probably the most exciting hour we have all week.
00:01:11.000 The ABS.
00:01:12.000 Us anything, Ask We Anything.
00:01:14.000 We're going with different names, but it is of course the hour where Charlie before us.
00:01:18.000 Yeah, he took questions from our subscribers.
00:01:20.000 He loved doing this.
00:01:21.000 He loved, you know, he really prided himself no matter how high he rose.
00:01:25.000 He was always in touch with the core elements of the conservative Christian base.
00:01:30.000 Always wanted to hear from them, and we are of course going to continue that tradition.
00:01:33.000 And we're also joined with Danny.
00:01:36.000 He's another he was a member of Charlie's team, and he's now a member of our team here.
00:01:41.000 And that's right.
00:01:42.000 Dynamo Danny.
00:01:43.000 Let's dive right into it.
00:01:45.000 We have Nick first unmute yourself, Nick.
00:01:48.000 What's your question?
00:01:49.000 Hey, oh man.
00:01:50.000 The last time I talked here, I was talking to Charlie, but uh you guys will do.
00:01:54.000 You guys will do today.
00:01:56.000 Um I just started a turning point USA chapter at my uh high school.
00:02:01.000 And I was wondering, uh, yeah, I like the meetings and all the speeches and talks we have, but I was wondering how we could get more involved with like our community.
00:02:10.000 Uh like actually take action instead of just uh talking.
00:02:13.000 Yeah.
00:02:14.000 Well that that's great.
00:02:15.000 I would say the first thing that comes to mind for me is um if the people in your if in your chapter are are Christian or if they're believers, maybe not all of them are, but the ones who are, make sure are they actually going to services on Sunday?
00:02:29.000 Are they getting involved with things?
00:02:30.000 Are they taking their stated belief, which is pretty common, especially with younger people.
00:02:34.000 They'll say, Yeah, I'm a Christian, maybe whatever.
00:02:38.000 But Charlie was all about taking the stated belief and making it concrete.
00:02:42.000 Are you putting your stated beliefs into action?
00:02:44.000 Read the Bible, going to Bible studies, going to church.
00:02:48.000 That's one specific faith-related example, but maybe you guys have examples beyond that.
00:02:52.000 Nick, if I'm putting myself in your shoes, Blake had a great idea.
00:02:55.000 Actually, I think it was Dino who we just had on in the last segment.
00:02:59.000 He said that they also started a Bible study in their chapter.
00:03:03.000 So they'll do uh chapter meeting and then a Bible study afterwards.
00:03:05.000 But to get more involved, uh we have our school board watch list program.
00:03:09.000 You could go to the school board meetings and and start firing up yourself for your community and getting involved in local politics and so many eyebrows if they had actual like students.
00:03:18.000 Show up at school boards.
00:03:19.000 That would be incredible.
00:03:20.000 Hold on.
00:03:20.000 Well, that's a good idea.
00:03:21.000 That's a good idea.
00:03:22.000 Yeah, well, let's keep them running, Nick.
00:03:23.000 I'm gonna hook you up with some ideas here.
00:03:25.000 And then another one too is um running for student body government.
00:03:29.000 That's a big thing that we have at Turning Point USA is we equip leaders to run for student body government.
00:03:35.000 So if that's something you're interested in, um contact us, or you could email me if you want to.
00:03:40.000 Um another idea is every election season, turning point action, gets involved in in swing states.
00:03:46.000 I'm not sure what state you're in, Nick, but even if you are not in a swing state, you can call, jump on the phone, text people, uh and you're calling voters in Arizona, in North Carolina, in Ohio, whatever whatever states we're involved in.
00:04:01.000 The these are just a couple of ideas.
00:04:03.000 Obviously, the ideas are unlimited.
00:04:05.000 Yeah, when uh when I was at Ohio State, we got connected with local restaurants, businesses that really helps get out the vote.
00:04:11.000 Um stuff like that.
00:04:12.000 You can really uh just get connected.
00:04:15.000 Yeah.
00:04:15.000 Outside of campus, all those places.
00:04:17.000 Nick, I have an important question for you.
00:04:18.000 Are you going to Amfest in December?
00:04:21.000 I really want to.
00:04:22.000 I really want to.
00:04:23.000 I'm gonna see if I can save up to buy a ticket.
00:04:25.000 If not, maybe my mom will buy it for me.
00:04:28.000 All right, well, we'll we're gonna we're gonna Try to help you get there, so we'll connect with you.
00:04:32.000 But I think that's a good starter for you to just start by coming to Amfest, and there's a lot of ways to get involved there.
00:04:40.000 I mean, when you're walking the exhibitor hall, you're seeing TP Academy, and you're seeing our our faith program and our church program and turning point action and our everything.
00:04:50.000 So it there's a lot of ways to get involved.
00:04:52.000 So I want you to start by coming to Amfest, and we'll help get you there if you just connect with our team and touch grass in your community as as as Gen Z would say. 0.76
00:05:01.000 The world is so full of people who are cloistered inside.
00:05:04.000 It is a super weapon if you can do what Charlie did and just go out there and engage with the real world over and over and over again.
00:05:11.000 But thank you very much for that, Nick.
00:05:13.000 And uh best of luck with your uh new chapter, and we're very excited to hear about that.
00:05:17.000 Uh our next caller is going to be Christine.
00:05:20.000 Christine, unmute yourself. 1.00
00:05:21.000 What is your question?
00:05:23.000 Hi guys.
00:05:24.000 Um, first of all, there is not enough words for the respect I have for Charlie and for everyone who is carrying on his torch.
00:05:33.000 Um my question is I've read all the websites, TP USA, the TPS Faith, uh, Blexit, etc.
00:05:41.000 Um, and about the show and stuff.
00:05:43.000 I read all these descriptions, but I wanted to know um, are these all separate entities?
00:05:50.000 Do they fall under the same umbrella?
00:05:52.000 If I'm monetarily support one, am I supporting them all?
00:05:57.000 And um for those of us who aren't in college and who may be a little older, I'm gonna have families.
00:06:04.000 How is the best way we can be involved?
00:06:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:08.000 So the only way it's separate is if it's turning point USA is the umbrella for all of those things.
00:06:14.000 So Blexit and Turning Point Academy and TP USA Faith and our high school program, our college program, our productions program, all of that falls under that umbrella of our 51c3.
00:06:26.000 The only thing that's different is our 501c4 or our pack, which is the political arm, and that's turning point action.
00:06:31.000 So if you for example, if you're to make a donation to turning point USA, you're supporting the mission of all of those things that you just mentioned.
00:06:40.000 And so those are all connected under the umbrella of Turning Point USA.
00:06:43.000 If that I think that answers your question.
00:06:46.000 Um, but how you can get better involved, I just told Nick I I I just keep telling people come to Amfest.
00:06:52.000 That's the best first way to get involved.
00:06:54.000 But if you want to get involved in politics, the best way is turning point action.
00:06:57.000 We have midterms coming up soon, and there's gonna be a lot to do, even if you are not in the state that we are actively uh, you know, doing door knocking in low propensity reach in you can still make phone calls wherever you're from.
00:07:12.000 Um and so for TP USA, there's a ton of different ways to get involved.
00:07:16.000 We have thousands of church affiliates.
00:07:18.000 There's there's most likely a chapter in your community, a high school or college chapter in your community, you can get involved in support.
00:07:26.000 You can actually support individual smaller chapters at Turning Point USA.
00:07:31.000 I want to flag one last thing.
00:07:32.000 Also, this show is technically also separate from both turning point and turning point action.
00:07:36.000 This comes up a lot because I some of you people ask me about turning point stuff.
00:07:40.000 I technically don't work for them.
00:07:41.000 I just work for Resolute Media, which makes a really good show.
00:07:45.000 And yeah, does that answer your question, Christine?
00:07:48.000 I believe it does.
00:07:49.000 Um, I guess I was looking for with that, as we give money, if we need to like separate that out so we make sure everybody gets a little bit of awe, or if one of your groups wasn't getting as much attention, right?
00:08:03.000 Will you um as a top tier spread it around?
00:08:07.000 Yeah, it's always spread it's spread around when you make a donation to turning point USA.
00:08:11.000 But if you're a donor and you make uh donation, you can actually add where you want it to go to specifically.
00:08:16.000 So we have donors that are saying, you know, I only want to support TP USA faith with this donation.
00:08:22.000 And so that actually just goes to furthering the mission or the cause of that specific department under the Turning Point USA umbrella.
00:08:29.000 So and if I may one more quick question, Mikey.
00:08:33.000 Um you said about local um groups.
00:08:37.000 I've been trying to find a local group around here.
00:08:40.000 You don't have them listed on any site.
00:08:42.000 And actually, when I reached out locally on our like local Facebook page, I got a lot of backlash.
00:08:49.000 Um that was very negative.
00:08:52.000 So it's been unfortunate.
00:08:54.000 Um, so I was hoping there will be some kind of directory so we can know in our smaller towns, um who is involved, so we can reach out to people who are involved around us.
00:09:06.000 Yeah.
00:09:06.000 I know we just updated our website at Turning Point USA, and I think that there's a map that we just added.
00:09:11.000 And so you can zoom into your region, and then we're we're working on adding so our field rep who is staff that we have hired for every certain region, then we have general managers, regional directors, and so you can reach out to the field representatives, and that's probably the best way of communication.
00:09:26.000 So we can help get you connected, Christine, um, and we'll make that happen.
00:09:31.000 Great.
00:09:31.000 Thank you so much, guys.
00:09:32.000 Of course.
00:09:33.000 God bless.
00:09:35.000 Hey everybody, this is Andrew Colvet, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:09:40.000 Burna is proud to continue supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and the important work of Turning Point USA because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting themselves, their families, and their communities.
00:09:51.000 The Berna, less lethal launcher, looks like a firearm, but it isn't one.
00:09:54.000 It fires powerful chemical irritant and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in its tracks, giving you the time and space you need to get to safety.
00:10:03.000 And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.
00:10:05.000 Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures.
00:10:11.000 It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement.
00:10:19.000 Burna can be shipped directly to your door.
00:10:22.000 I've personally tested the Burna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use.

00:10:32.000 That's BYRNA.com slash Charlie.
00:10:37.000 So our next caller is going to be Harrison Harrison.
00:10:40.000 Unmute yourself.
00:10:40.000 What is your question?
00:10:42.000 Hi, can you hear me?
00:10:43.000 Yes, we can.
00:10:44.000 Hi.
00:10:44.000 Um my question is, well, I'll I'll start first.
00:10:48.000 Um I'm a big fan of Charlie Kirk.
00:10:50.000 Um I was always a big fan of Charlie Kirk.
00:10:53.000 Um he we lost him actually on my birthday.
00:10:56.000 Oh sorry.
00:10:58.000 And uh Yeah.
00:11:02.000 Um so that whole thing um shook me up.
00:11:08.000 Um and it had me asking a lot of questions, and one of these questions um that I'm having to ask myself is uh if Israel is such a good ally to the United States, why do our politicians need to take money in order to support that relationship?
00:11:30.000 How does the money help?
00:11:32.000 Well, I don't I don't think a lot of them do need to take a lot of money from them, but you know, so there is a certainly it has been brought up.
00:11:40.000 There's like a lot of back and forth there, and some people have raised their eyebrows.
00:11:43.000 I remember when we had the uh the recess in um in August, and like a very large number of Republicans flew directly to like Israel as the recess was happening, and so it wasn't like, oh, they needed to immediately go and meet all of their constituents in their home states, they were instead in another country.
00:12:01.000 And uh I know I talked to Charlie about all of this, and he was at least very aware that was not a good PR look, and it might have been a better one in the past, but it it's not.
00:12:13.000 You have to signal that America comes first. 0.94
00:12:15.000 Now, there are reasons that we have this alliance that it has existed, that we've had uh alignment against radical Islam, and also just a lot of Americans genuinely care about that. 0.69
00:12:25.000 Not just Jewish Americans, but Christian Americans and Americans who just care about opposing Islamic militancy, 9-11 and all of that. 0.95
00:12:34.000 Um I I mean, for me, uh just speaking on my own beliefs, I'm I'm Gen Z. I've seen war my entire life.
00:12:41.000 I a lot of countries lobby here, and I honestly I want to stop them all.
00:12:47.000 Like I don't want any countries lobby in this country anymore.
00:12:50.000 I'm kind of sick of it.
00:12:51.000 It's amazing how much South Korea spends a ton lobbying in the US.
00:12:54.000 Uh indirect stuff.
00:12:57.000 You know, you have people who register under Farah, you have people who should register under Farah but don't.
00:13:01.000 I think what Charlie would agree, and we agree, is we do want way less influence and money from foreign countries in our government.
00:13:11.000 And it's easy, it's very common for people to fixate on Israel specifically, but like Mexico was totally interfering in all of the Trump's elections.
00:13:20.000 They were publishing guides on how Mexican Americans could vote.
00:13:23.000 They were barely, you know, quite unsubtly suggesting, you know, maybe illegal immigrants, you could figure out how to vote too. 0.67
00:13:30.000 And just totally weighing in.
00:13:32.000 European leaders were always weighing in on these things.
00:13:34.000 Tons of other foreign NGOs meddle themselves in our politics.
00:13:38.000 So it is far bigger than just one country in that regard.
00:13:43.000 Well, and according to open source, um, Israel wasn't even in the top ten last year in foreign nations funding in American politics, which shows that I mean all these other countries are doing it too, which is also a problem.
00:13:56.000 Yeah.
00:13:57.000 I I just don't want to see any of it.
00:13:58.000 Yeah, if I'm being honest.
00:13:59.000 Yeah, I'd say that's a good thing.
00:14:01.000 Let's just get all foreign money should just not be in United States politics. 0.97
00:14:05.000 And I think that would lead to a lot better behavior.
00:14:07.000 Yeah, I mean, I just back to what I'm saying is I I don't really want to see any country involved.
00:14:14.000 That that's the biggest thing here.
00:14:15.000 But then also AIPAC, right?
00:14:18.000 APAC, American Israel Pact.
00:14:20.000 That's run by American Jews, just so that we're clear.
00:14:23.000 So it's not actually Israel necessarily getting involved.
00:14:27.000 But either way, I don't want to see any foreign influence lobbying our country.
00:14:32.000 I just don't want to see it.
00:14:34.000 And I think you guys agree with me.
00:14:36.000 100%.
00:14:38.000 All right.
00:14:38.000 Uh Andrea is our next caller.
00:14:40.000 Andrea, unmute yourself and uh welcome. 1.00
00:14:43.000 Thank you for being a subscriber.
00:14:44.000 Thank you.
00:14:45.000 Um I just wanted to offer all of you my condolences.
00:14:49.000 It's been a really difficult time, but you guys have just done an amazing, amazing job.
00:14:54.000 Very inspiring.
00:14:56.000 Um my question for you is that I recently moved to Virginia, and I'm wondering if there is any kind of a ground game.
00:15:04.000 I haven't really heard anything about it.
00:15:06.000 And um, similar to your previous um caller, was just wondering how I might be able to get involved with the TT action out here in Virginia.
00:15:16.000 Man, we w we were going to have Tyler Boyer on this hour originally.
00:15:21.000 And it would have really helped because Tyler Tyler runs turning point action.
00:15:24.000 Yeah.
00:15:25.000 You would have the point by point detail on all of that.
00:15:28.000 Everything that my understanding is uh originally we were not super heavily involved because we you know we shepherd our resources for what's most winnable, but now Virginia has in the last couple weeks gotten much more winnable, especially in that AG race.
00:15:43.000 So I unfortunately do not know that off the top of my head.
00:15:46.000 I have actually messaged Tyler at this moment to please send me any details, and if we can get more of them even later in this hour, I'll be sure to read them out.
00:15:54.000 Do you know anything about that, Mikey?
00:15:55.000 I know the mobile app, turn TP Action has a mobile app, which is very helpful.
00:15:59.000 I know we all used it on the ground game during last year's election.
00:16:02.000 Um you can start there and you can literally text and call um people in your area to help get out the vote.
00:16:09.000 Yeah.
00:16:09.000 Yeah.
00:16:10.000 Um I know that Blake said it, the AG race in in specific, specifically has become a big, possibly winnable race in Virginia.
00:16:19.000 And so um I'm not entirely sure the specifics that Tyler might have um in terms of what we may be doing on the ground game.
00:16:27.000 I know that there is a ground game there.
00:16:29.000 Um and so how to get plugged into that, I I think it's best turning point action makes uh a statement kind of saying how you can get involved, how you can help there.
00:16:36.000 So um that's probably the best next step.
00:16:39.000 I know that we're probably gonna be putting something together to text and call voters.
00:16:43.000 We typically do that always um with states where you can call voters to get out the vote and get involved.
00:16:49.000 Um and so that's that's basically what we have right now for Virginia.
00:16:53.000 Yeah, and how are you feeling about the governor's race?
00:16:56.000 Um it would just be such a huge shame if we lost out on that.
00:17:00.000 Yeah.
00:17:01.000 It it is a shame.
00:17:02.000 I will we'll be frank.
00:17:03.000 Charlie was always very honest.
00:17:04.000 Uh the polling there is further apart.
00:17:07.000 It is a more challenging race.
00:17:09.000 Yeah.
00:17:09.000 Uh it's been pretty far apart most of it.
00:17:12.000 You have to keep in mind, Virginia has become a blue state these past 20 years.
00:17:17.000 It has consistently it has voted for a Democrat every election since 2008.
00:17:21.000 It's also the state, a ton of federal employees.
00:17:24.000 It's probably been hit by Doge harder than any other state.
00:17:27.000 It's being affected by the shutdown, probably harder than any other state.
00:17:30.000 Maybe Maryland accepted.
00:17:31.000 And that's going to get create a challenging environment, no matter what.
00:17:36.000 Uh, it's also a state, it's a high-income area, those suburbs around Washington.
00:17:41.000 Yep.
00:17:41.000 And you know what?
00:17:42.000 High income people in Washington really like.
00:17:45.000 They like hiring illegal immigrants to do stuff at their homes. 1.00
00:17:49.000 And so a lot of those people are angry that President Trump is trying to change our reliance on illegal immigrants.
00:17:56.000 I know I've seen this.
00:17:57.000 I've gotten text from people in the DC area about this, where you know the the prices of all of these service uh services you can buy has gone way up because a lot of them are are clearing out.
00:18:08.000 And so all of that is going to have a political impact.
00:18:10.000 Now, back to your original question.
00:18:12.000 That does make the race tough, but thanks to this deranged lunatic they have up for AG, both the races have gotten a lot more competitive.
00:18:21.000 And until we can get the more of that action stuff, I would encourage you.
00:18:25.000 If you know, if for example, if you if you're at a church, make sure the people in your church are aware this is coming up.
00:18:31.000 Talk to them.
00:18:31.000 Oh, yeah.
00:18:32.000 Did you see what this Jay Jones guy said?
00:18:34.000 Big time.
00:18:34.000 You'd be amazed how out of the loop a lot of people are.
00:18:37.000 They're just not.
00:18:37.000 They're not watching the news, they're not watching this show, they're not hearing about it.
00:18:41.000 And a lot of people want to make sure they don't hear about it.
00:18:43.000 You can change that and make sure that they vote.
00:18:46.000 You don't need an app to do make sure that that happens.
00:18:50.000 You don't need an app to make sure your friends and family and parishioners and your, you know, the the parents of your kids' friends and all of that.
00:18:57.000 You don't need all of those things to be able to talk to those people.
00:19:00.000 Um, but we'll definitely have Tyler on ASAP to give more information on uh what our plans are in that race, and we've got a month to sprint to the finish here.
00:19:08.000 Yeah.
00:19:09.000 Make it work.

00:20:22.000 Our next question is Chris.
00:20:24.000 Are you there, Chris?
00:20:25.000 Yeah, I'm here.
00:20:26.000 Awesome.
00:20:26.000 What's your question?
00:20:28.000 Well, um, you know, I've noticed that many believers in my church now agree that the church, the big church, has become too comfortable and risk averse.
00:20:39.000 Um, but a lot of us are really unsure on like the first practical steps that pastors or lay people can take to move on from this passive faith to like active conviction in their communities.
00:20:54.000 Yeah.
00:20:55.000 Yeah.
00:20:56.000 I know that um it's speaking as so my dad's a pastor.
00:21:00.000 And um I've seen him at the memorial.
00:21:02.000 Yeah, he he spoke at the memorial.
00:21:04.000 So my dad, he was a pastor in California.
00:21:06.000 Um, during the COVID lockdowns, he kept his church open.
00:21:10.000 Um, despite he was the mayor of the city at the time, and despite facing jail time and penalties and congregants getting fined and them getting cited.
00:21:22.000 Crazy things.
00:21:23.000 Um he kept his church open, and it was one of the biggest stories at the time.
00:21:27.000 Because in California, you could have strip clubs open and marijuana dispensaries, but churches couldn't worship.
00:21:32.000 And so that is kind of the moving point for my dad and TPOSA Faith and a lot of pastors who saw that and said, something doesn't feel right here.
00:21:43.000 And so James 122 is be doers of the word, not just hearers.
00:21:48.000 And so for a lot of pastors, um, I would just encourage them to, if it feels wrong, dig into it a little bit.
00:21:56.000 You have a choice to make, not just for yourself, for your congregation and those that you are shepherding as a flock in a community.
00:22:04.000 And every choice that you make makes an imp imprint on your character and character comes from the Greek word, which means to etch deeply on on onto something, or to tattoo.
00:22:14.000 And so every choice that you make uh makes a mark on your character.
00:22:17.000 What kind of character do you want?
00:22:19.000 And so a lot of people will say, you know, they'll cite Romans 13, which is you know, honor those in authority or elected officials.
00:22:27.000 So they said the elected officials told me to shut down my church during COVID, or the elected officials told me that there's separation of church and state.
00:22:34.000 I shouldn't have to talk about this from the pulpit.
00:22:36.000 Well, one of the most important things you have to think about is who are those in authority in this country.
00:22:42.000 And and that was written with kings in authority and monarchs in authority, and today those in authority in our country are the people.
00:22:50.000 And so we have a responsibility to our nation and to our God to uphold liberty, which is a value of Christianity and God.
00:23:00.000 And uh pastors have the same thing.
00:23:02.000 So if you're the member of a church, you should go straight to your pastor and challenge him.
00:23:07.000 That's what I do.
00:23:08.000 That's what my dad does.
00:23:10.000 And I I don't know, Blake, Danny, do you do you guys have anything to add on this?
00:23:13.000 I I I I get me all riled out.
00:23:17.000 I am a Catholic, so I have the little slightly different thing.
00:23:21.000 We're like a very hierarchical thing.
00:23:22.000 Yeah, which has you know a leader who's been saying some very interesting things the last few weeks.
00:23:28.000 So well, yeah, I think that they just need to stop apologizing for the truth and live it live it out like it publicly.
00:23:34.000 That's great, Danny.
00:23:35.000 Yeah, don't apologize for the truth.
00:23:37.000 Double down, triple down.
00:23:39.000 Thank you so much, Chris.
00:23:40.000 Um what's our next question?
00:23:42.000 Our next question we have Isabel uh Isabel wrote us, what do you suggest for someone wanting to get involved with TP USA who does not have a degree, is not in college, but it's still about collegiate age and wanting to maybe work there or just be part of the movement.
00:23:57.000 Is there a space for young adults not in college?
00:23:59.000 Now, one, I think I may have gotten seen an email from Isabel.
00:24:03.000 So uh thank you again for reaching out.
00:24:06.000 Um I think it would be very shameful if we did not have a way for people who did not go to college to get involved given what Charlie repeatedly said about college.
00:24:16.000 Um first of all, I don't in most cases if there's a chapter in your area.
00:24:21.000 Dan Danny was a chapter president.
00:24:23.000 Yeah, we had people all the time that were college aged that didn't um go to the university but still came to events, meetings, all that stuff.
00:24:32.000 Yeah, it's possible your school might have some rules around that, but they're probably not gonna be super strict about it.
00:24:37.000 I don't think they'll be strict at all.
00:24:38.000 They won't even know.
00:24:39.000 Yeah, and we also have our student action summit, which is literally just for young people.
00:24:43.000 You don't have to be in college, you don't have to be in high school.
00:24:46.000 Don't have to be a student.
00:24:46.000 You don't even have to be a student.
00:24:48.000 It's really just the actions.
00:24:49.000 Maybe we should just label it to young people action summit.
00:24:52.000 Super action summit.
00:24:53.000 Yeah.
00:24:54.000 Yeah.
00:24:55.000 Well, we'll make we'll make it happen.
00:24:56.000 But start by coming to Amfest.
00:24:58.000 That's what I keep telling people.
00:24:59.000 But Isabel, we want to get you to Amphest, so let's do what we need to do to get you there.
00:25:04.000 Um and I we'll go into our next question, which is Jimmy.
00:25:08.000 Alrighty.
00:25:08.000 Uh Jimmy, do we have are you there?
00:25:10.000 Unmute yourself.
00:25:11.000 Oh, we got a read it again.
00:25:13.000 I got another one.
00:25:14.000 Okay.
00:25:14.000 Yeah.
00:25:15.000 We got you guys.
00:25:15.000 We got Jimmy!
00:25:16.000 Jimmy, excellent, excellent.
00:25:18.000 Jimmy, thank you again.
00:25:20.000 Yeah, um, I I I've posted a couple of questions, so I'm trying to figure out which one is the most important.
00:25:26.000 But um I do I only have time for one.
00:25:29.000 Let's just shoot one.
00:25:30.000 We have more time, we'll see.
00:25:32.000 Okay, okay, okay.
00:25:33.000 Uh let's see.
00:25:35.000 Um I I think I'll take the one that's probably more uh well, both are relevant, but so Charlie's approach.
00:25:42.000 What was what is Charlie's approach and your team's approach to what I see as um a growing um kind of a uh resistance or a growing opposition to the people of Israel or the nation of Israel, and which I yeah, I think of it as a spiritual issue that will that's growing.
00:26:09.000 I see it in the conservative movement, and I I think people in the church who um are you know part of the church in different faith are gonna need good voices, strong voices to help people understand what to think about this because you know Israel has you know if you look at the Bible, Israel has an important position with God and in history, both past and in future.
00:26:32.000 So I I understand the need to reform, like you were talking about earlier, not to have money coming into our government.
00:26:39.000 I understand the need to reform our you know, our the the thing, you know, countries can reform, but this goes a little bit deeper where it's like this this kind of rejection to Israel as the people of God.
00:26:51.000 So I want to know how you guys approach that and help us to you know how to think about it.
00:26:56.000 Yeah, uh th thank you again.
00:26:57.000 Thank you again.
00:26:58.000 We've talked about that a bit this week.
00:26:59.000 Uh it's It's it's come up.
00:27:01.000 And I can say I spoke with Charlie a lot about this issue.
00:27:05.000 He had me do a lot of research about this issue.
00:27:07.000 He cared a lot about it, and he saw it was really something that had been bubbling up a lot over these past few years.
00:27:13.000 And it is it is something that is in a lot of ways out of proportion to what you'd normally expect a foreign policy thing to be.
00:27:21.000 And it's done that for a variety of reasons.
00:27:23.000 It of course has happened for religious reasons.
00:27:26.000 Uh obviously, there are Jewish Americans who care a lot.
00:27:28.000 There are Christian Americans who believe there is you know a biblical commitment to present-day Israel.
00:27:34.000 But it's also even even the left cares more about it.
00:27:36.000 It's sort of the issue has become a symbolic one where how you feel about it is it's sort of representative of how you feel about a lot of different issues.
00:27:46.000 And that's I think why Charlie, he noticed there was this bubbling up of anti-Israel and often anti-Semitic sentiment among young people on the left and on the right.
00:27:57.000 And I think he thought about it a lot because he could see this would sometimes be related to this sort of like generalized third world mindset spreading in America that if like they can convince you that oh like Israel shouldn't exist for because they're a colonizer country or something.
00:28:15.000 That if they can convince you of that, they can kind of convince you that America shouldn't exist.
00:28:18.000 Because America also began as you know, people settling a land they were not from.
00:28:24.000 Um Charlie had complicated thought uh thoughts on it.
00:28:27.000 We've seen it with uh letters and so forth.
00:28:30.000 Uh, you know, he wrote that letter to Netanyahu.
00:28:33.000 He saw that there was a lot of sentiment on this.
00:28:35.000 He wanted to bridge the gap.
00:28:36.000 He wanted to move towards a productive relationship between our two countries.
00:28:41.000 Uh and he wanted the holy he cared about the holy land remaining a safe place for Christians.
00:28:48.000 I think that was his biggest guiding star that he went to Israel once.
00:28:51.000 He went to the lands that Jesus preached in and lived in, and it was deeply moving for him.
00:28:56.000 And he thought it would be terrible if that ended up being a place ruled by ISIS or radical Islamists who might, you know, blow up Christ's tomb, blow up, you know, bulldoze all the places that Christ ministered to, make it so Christians could not go there, and he cared a lot about keeping that from happening.
00:29:12.000 And he cared a lot about just not having us.
00:29:16.000 He also just didn't want us to align with radical Islamism.
00:29:19.000 And those were kind of Charlie's guiding posts on that issue, I believe.
00:29:22.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:29:22.000 I I've never been to Israel.
00:29:24.000 Um Charlie often talked about how he loved it and loved the holy land and wanted to protect it.
00:29:32.000 And he would say that the arguments to protect the holy land and keep it sacred and protected and accessible are most important.
00:29:40.000 I've never been, so I I maybe one day I'll go.
00:29:44.000 I don't know.
00:29:44.000 But um, yeah, that was kind of his stance.
00:29:47.000 Blake, you hit the nail on the head.
00:29:50.000 Look, I know there are a lot of choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service.
00:29:55.000 There are new ones popping up all the time.
00:29:57.000 But the truth is there's only one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes that freedom is worth fighting for, and that is Patriot Mobile.
00:30:06.000 For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines fighting for our God-given rights of freedom while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks.
00:30:16.000 Don't just take my word for it.
00:30:18.000 Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in simply by switching to Patriot Mobile.
00:30:25.000 It's easier than it's ever been.
00:30:26.000 Activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home, keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.
00:30:30.000 Patriot Mobile's all US based support team is standing by to take care of you.
00:30:35.000 Charlie and Glenn over at Patriot Mobile, dear dear friends.
00:30:38.000 So I'll give the last word to Charlie.
00:30:40.000 Call 972 Patriot today, or go to PatriotMobile.com slash Charlie.
00:30:44.000 Use promo code Charlie for a free month of service.
00:30:47.000 That's PatriotMobile.com/slash Charlie, or call 972 Patriot and make the switch today.
00:30:54.000 Our next one is Me Sean.
00:30:56.000 Me Sean, do we have you?
00:30:58.000 Unmute yourself, Michael.
00:31:00.000 I'm unmuted.
00:31:01.000 There we go.
00:31:02.000 There we go.
00:31:03.000 Hey, hey guy.
00:31:05.000 Hi, me Sean.
00:31:06.000 How are you?
00:31:07.000 I'm doing good.
00:31:08.000 You did you did a good job uh saying my name.
00:31:10.000 I'm proud of that.
00:31:11.000 Because most people call it.
00:31:14.000 But you know, Charlie, I've been on before, and the first time I told him my name, he got it right away, and he made it.
00:31:19.000 That's amazing.
00:31:20.000 Charlie was bad at names.
00:31:22.000 He's very bad at them.
00:31:23.000 So you were very fortunate that he nailed it.
00:31:25.000 Yeah, because the second time I called in, he he didn't even have to ask how to pronounce it.
00:31:29.000 He knew it.
00:31:30.000 He just wow, he does have a good memory.
00:31:32.000 He did.
00:31:32.000 Yeah, he remembered everybody.
00:31:34.000 every detail.
00:31:35.000 Yeah, well, God bless you guys.
00:31:36.000 Love you guys praying continually every day for all of you and and of course all of the Kirk family.
00:31:42.000 And I know we'll be in a lot of sorrow for a long time, but I just am grateful you guys are lifting up Charlie's voice, his name, his legacy every single day.
00:31:52.000 And please don't ever stop doing that.
00:31:53.000 But my question to you guys has a little bit to do with the American halftime show that that idea that you guys are coming up with, I think isn't a wonderful idea.
00:32:03.000 I don't know if it'll come to fruition.
00:32:04.000 I'm hoping it will.
00:32:06.000 But you guys had put out a feeler for suggestions, like what would you like to see in your survey, whether it be worship music, rock and roll, jazz, whatever.
00:32:16.000 And I did take that survey and I did select worship.
00:32:21.000 And there's a wonderful Christian artist by the name of Kim Walker Smith.
00:32:24.000 Have any of you ever heard of her?
00:32:26.000 Yeah, she's great.
00:32:27.000 She actually performed at America Fest, I want to say last year or two years ago, but she's spectacular.
00:32:34.000 And I think we might have her back at Amfest this year.
00:32:37.000 But yeah, she's incredible. 0.66
00:32:39.000 Yeah, and I don't, I don't, I didn't see that email.
00:32:42.000 But I will say this, Michan, a little insider scoop here for you.
00:32:46.000 Um in first place on people who want to with the genre of music they want to hear.
00:32:53.000 First place, we have worship.
00:32:55.000 Woo! 0.99
00:32:56.000 Second place, we have country, third place we have classic rock, and then we have anything in English.
00:33:08.000 Yeah, that's that should be a given.
00:33:11.000 Right.
00:33:12.000 And then we have Americana, and then it goes pop and then hip hop's in last place.
00:33:18.000 So I'm glad worship is on the top.
00:33:21.000 We did it, Michael.
00:33:22.000 We got worship to the top.
00:33:24.000 Kim Walker Smith's excellent.
00:33:26.000 Um we're gonna try to get her involved. 0.97
00:33:28.000 Yeah, have you heard her song that she came out with in during 2020 Trump's election?
00:33:33.000 It was called Worth the Fight.
00:33:35.000 Yes, I have heard that song.
00:33:37.000 It's excellent.
00:33:38.000 Uh Kim Walker Smith is excellent, and um, we're very grateful for you and in participating.
00:33:44.000 We're gonna get some big voices, big names there.
00:33:47.000 Um, I know that we we had a great conversation yesterday with Corey Asbury.
00:33:52.000 Um, and hopefully we're gonna see a partnership there soon with some other big names in the worship industry.
00:33:58.000 But thank you so much, Michael, for calling in.
00:34:01.000 You bet.
00:34:02.000 God bless you guys.
00:34:03.000 All right.
00:34:03.000 Alrighty, and now I think let's go to uh Jennifer.
00:34:07.000 Are you there, Jennifer?
00:34:08.000 Unmute yourself and uh what's your question?
00:34:10.000 I mean, it's bittersweet.
00:34:12.000 I uh joined the Charlie Kirk show, became a member right after the turning point event in Tampa.
00:34:19.000 So fairly recent, and uh we took our 11-year-old daughter, so she's not quite old enough yet, but we've uh she grew up listening to him.
00:34:28.000 So uh I thank you.
00:34:30.000 I mean, it's just we were heartbroken, um, you know, that day, but um as still, but one of my questions, and I actually have been trying to join for like the last month, and so I'm so bummed that you know, but I'm here now, and uh I wanted to ask,
00:34:46.000 you know, turning point's thoughts about count calling out more of the economic power of conservatives and Christians along the lines of like partnering with you know Robbie Starbuck or the Public Square company, which is that of West Palm here in Florida, and you know, really praying to see more conservatives and importantly Christians that you know will steward their financial blessings more according to God's will and for his glory.
00:35:10.000 Um, you know, really funding is really kind of fuels one or the other.
00:35:16.000 And I was just curious as like turning point's take on sort of championing that message.
00:35:23.000 Yeah, thank you, Jennifer again.
00:35:24.000 Uh, we are we're always all in on or not, we're all very enthusiastic when conservatives realize they have economic power.
00:35:32.000 There are what 80 million Trump voters out there, there are over a hundred million Christians in the United States.
00:35:38.000 They have the power to do it.
00:35:40.000 Now, what we have to acknowledge is it's a lot of people, they're sometimes a little difficult to direct.
00:35:45.000 And you know, it was so funny when we had, for example, the big boycott against Bud Light.
00:35:49.000 I've been through another one.
00:35:51.000 I've been, yeah, or Target.
00:35:52.000 I've been through so many.
00:35:54.000 Again, I'm older than you guys.
00:35:55.000 I've been through a lot of attempted boycotts, and you know, some of them it really seems like they should have Been you know very straightforward, vaporize them.
00:36:02.000 But the one that worked, for example, was Bud Light, and it was almost like it was like all the stars aligned perfectly because it was a product that was very ubiquitous, and it was something you consumed publicly, so it was easy to socially like bully people into doing it.
00:36:17.000 Whereas a lot of products you just own personally and it's more on you.
00:36:20.000 Yeah, and so it's not always easy to tell what will take off and what won't.
00:36:26.000 So what I would always say is if we can do it, I'm very much in favor of it.
00:36:30.000 And we've totally we've you know, we've had on the public square guys before on the show.
00:36:34.000 We've profiled a lot of those.
00:36:35.000 Uh we've had Robbie Starbuck on the show.
00:36:37.000 We've talked about a lot of these uh boycott instances.
00:36:41.000 You know, it helps.
00:36:42.000 Also, if you're going to boycott someone, it it can't hurt to if you're gonna do it, make sure you also send them an email, send them a message, send them a tweet.
00:36:50.000 Exactly, post on their Instagram or something.
00:36:52.000 Do something to make it clear why you are doing something that you are motivated by something because companies have a lot of sort of neurotic people who run their marketing departments, and if they see a few angry emails, they can freak out.
00:37:05.000 And that can grip you know, have more power than just using your pocketbook.
00:37:10.000 Yeah, amazing.
00:37:12.000 Well, thank you so much, Jennifer.
00:37:14.000 Our next question is Donna.
00:37:16.000 Donna, do we have you?
00:37:18.000 Hi.
00:37:19.000 Amazing.
00:37:20.000 What's your question?
00:37:20.000 I'm in Maine.
00:37:21.000 I'm 62.
00:37:24.000 Charlie was in Maine in uh August.
00:37:25.000 He loved it.
00:37:26.000 Yeah.
00:37:26.000 I know, and I just missed him.
00:37:30.000 Yeah.
00:37:31.000 Um, are you guys gonna come to Maine to do any event in the near future, or is everything gonna be stay out left?
00:37:41.000 Well, I I know that Charlie's whole thing is he didn't want mission creep.
00:37:45.000 So he wanted to focus on what worked, and then he would just focus his energy on turning his one of his passions was to turn Arizona into the Florida of the West.
00:37:56.000 So he would always have people asking him, Charlie, can you come to California?
00:37:59.000 You know, can turning point action do to California what they did in Arizona or Maine.
00:38:04.000 And so Charlie and I were literally in Maine for a whole month and a week together, and we traveled the whole state.
00:38:12.000 We got to know thousands of different people, and there's a great group called Maine Civic Action.
00:38:17.000 Um, and I know that they're doing a lot of work, it's backed by a very big donor.
00:38:22.000 Um, and they're planning to do some very, very big and important work in the coming year, year and a half here.
00:38:30.000 So I although we do not have a big presence in Maine, I know that there is groups that do have a big presence in Maine.
00:38:38.000 Charlie spoke at their event, Maine Civic Action, and they I'll tell you this.
00:38:44.000 Mainers, they're fired up.
00:38:46.000 I I can tell by just talking to you.
00:38:48.000 Yeah, Donna, you you you guys are fired up, and you're talking to the lobster men and the uh the these are hard working class voters, and I think there's a bigger silent majority, but Maine needs to watch out for these third worlds coming in. 0.99
00:39:05.000 Oh, yeah.
00:39:05.000 Haiti, Haiti, it's really sinister what they do.
00:39:09.000 They do deliberately settle a lot of like you know, some of the most challenging to integrate migrants in you know random heartland parts of the United States. 0.99
00:39:18.000 Yeah.
00:39:19.000 Yeah.
00:39:20.000 Yeah, we were talking to some police there in uh Portland, Maine.
00:39:24.000 And they were just telling us these crazy stories about how they're being overrun.
00:39:27.000 You got hotels with 20 illegals all in one hotel room. 0.99
00:39:32.000 This police officer told us a story about how in Portland he gets a domestic violence call.
00:39:39.000 And when he shows up to the house, he comes in, and it's 32 Somalian men just beating up a woman, and he had to get in there, and it's just he's like, I can't, I don't even did he apologize because he was intruding on their culture. 0.84
00:39:52.000 Yeah, oh it's it's Portland is really going downhill.
00:40:00.000 It's awful.
00:40:01.000 And the mayor of South Portland was no bueno.
00:40:05.000 Oh wow, yeah, and yeah, it's it's getting bad.
00:40:10.000 It's I mean, a lot of people think Maine is the quiet state tucked into the Northeast, but it's like there's not much scene in Bangor, but It's like you guys would be surprised what's going on right under your nose.
00:40:35.000 Yeah.
00:40:36.000 I I totally agree.
00:40:38.000 Well, I do see in your written out question you also were asking if Amfest is in Arizona.
00:40:42.000 It is in Arizona.
00:40:42.000 It is in Arizona.
00:40:43.000 Every year, the week before Christmas, the weekend before Christmas, every year, always in that window.
00:40:48.000 Same time, same place.
00:40:50.000 Yeah.
00:40:50.000 You know, you can book it out five years in advance if you need to.
00:40:53.000 But we're always happy.
00:40:54.000 We're we're now in Charlie would always start ramping up the Amfest sales right around now.
00:40:58.000 Get yourself a nice Christmas gift, Donna.
00:41:01.000 Come to Amfest, celebrate in Arizona.
00:41:04.000 There's a lot to celebrate.
00:41:06.000 It's just a big celebration.
00:41:07.000 I remember the first Amfest I went to three years ago.
00:41:10.000 I I wasn't really on, you know, I turning point wasn't on my radar and I showed up and it just my eyes popped out of my socket.
