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 Museme.
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.
00:01:09.000 Let's go to our first question.
00:01:10.000 We got Anthony.
00:01:11.000 Anthony, please unmute yourself.
00:01:12.000 You are the first question on our Ask Me Anything Friday.
00:01:16.000 Afternoon or morning, guys.
00:01:18.000 Um and Dan really, you have to pull for the Dodgers.
00:01:21.000 That that one hurts me.
00:01:22.000 So my question don't let Andrew get any more.
00:01:27.000 I'm working it.
00:01:28.000 Tell the world series.
00:01:29.000 Back channeling it back here.
00:01:31.000 That's good.
00:01:31.000 I need to So here's my question, guys.
00:01:33.000 Uh so last night in New York City, they had the mayor debates and everything.
00:01:38.000 Um do people really understand if Mandami wins, which it probably will be.
00:01:45.000 Do they understand what this could trigger for other cities, other states?
00:01:52.000 You know, because New York City is the iconic city of our country.
00:01:56.000 Like, do people understand this is not good if he wins, or are they just like being sucked in by fancy words, the the nice smile, the photo ops stuff, you know, where he can't bench 135 pounds.
00:02:11.000 You know.
00:02:11.000 Well, yeah, I mean, listen, here's here's I'll I'm gonna offer my take on it, and then Mikey, Danny, feel free to chime in.
00:02:17.000 I watched the debate.
00:02:19.000 First of all, I will give a little hat tip to the moderators.
00:02:22.000 I thought they did a uh really fine job, actually.
00:02:24.000 They were pretty fair and they managed it pretty well.
00:02:28.000 Mom Donnie is head and shoulders uh above these guys, just from a pure optics standpoint, just from a pure smooth answering the questions and messaging standpoint. 0.74
00:02:40.000 He's a degree.
00:02:41.000 He focuses on the things that actually do matter to people.
00:02:45.000 And I know this because Charlie would focus on the same things.
00:02:47.000 Affordability.
00:02:48.000 When Charlie was talking about Gen Z, what was he talking about?
00:02:51.000 Moon economic moonshot, making homes more affordable, getting young people the opportunity to buy into the American dream, deporting illegals that were driving up housing costs, that were taking entry-level jobs, so that Americans could get those and get that first job on the the rung of the ladder to economic independence and success.
00:03:11.000 These are things in the Lords of Easy Money, you hear Steve Bannon talking about that.
00:03:14.000 It's totally spot on.
00:03:15.000 When we debase our currency, that hurts the working class the most.
00:03:19.000 The assets owned by the rich inflate in value, and that distance between the haves and the haves nots gets wider and wider and wider.
00:03:27.000 And so that's why it's so important that we focus on economics.
00:03:30.000 We have a a limited amount of time to prove that the MAGA national populism conservatism is the ticket for an American revitalization of our uh economy and the economic prospects of the next generation.
00:03:42.000 We talk about it on this show.
00:03:44.000 I don't know why they're not talking about it in New York.
00:03:46.000 I don't know why Sleewa and Cuomo are not talking about it more.
00:03:49.000 Mom Donnie is.
00:03:50.000 Now, his prescription is going to destroy the city.
00:03:54.000 There's no his solutions are gonna destroy the city, but at least he's talking about it.
00:03:58.000 Uh, but yeah, that's my my my point is is that he is just simply better at this than them.
00:04:03.000 And he is a he is a candidate that is built for the modern ecosystem, media ecosystem with social media and nifty slogans and all of this stuff.
00:04:10.000 That being said, Sliwa needs to drop out of the race. 1.00
00:04:13.000 I I like him.
00:04:14.000 He's a nice man, fine.
00:04:16.000 He needs to drop out of the race.
00:04:17.000 He's a spoiler.
00:04:18.000 The only way to do this is for Sleewa to stop taking shots at Cuomo, put his support behind Cuomo, but he's probably not gonna do that because he's kind of like a uh dogged principled man, which is admirable, but politics is about the art of the possible.
00:04:31.000 We have to be pragmatist.
00:04:32.000 Charlie was always about pragmatists, uh, prag uh being pragmatic.
00:04:36.000 And so he needs to take a page out of Charlie's book, not look for the perfect, go for pragmatism.
00:04:42.000 That city cannot become a communist haven.
00:04:45.000 He will put in place apparatus, corruption.
00:04:49.000 He will riddle that budget with a ton of landmines that will take years and years to undo.
00:04:55.000 I'm telling you, you you do not want this uh happening in our greatest city.
00:04:59.000 Our and I'm a and I'm afraid, Andrew, that will trickle into the rest of the state then.
00:05:03.000 Yeah, no, it will.
00:05:04.000 It absolutely will.
00:05:05.000 And what's gonna happen is it's gonna legitimize him, and he's gonna get endorsed by more and more mainstream democrats, which is just gonna further suck that party down a very, very dark and radical left hole.
00:05:16.000 You're right, it will happen.
00:05:17.000 So, what we have to do is we have to make sure our ideas work, and we have to make sure our ideas work economically, first and foremost.
00:05:25.000 There's only there's one thing I'm gonna add that no one is caught in New York, so you all know.
00:05:30.000 The New York Appeals court has ruled in favor of the Democrats to allow all elections, federal, state, and local to be on even years.
00:05:39.000 Local elections were on odd years.
00:05:41.000 So starting next year, all elections will be at the same time now, so Democrats can start winning local elections because they're not getting turnout in the odd years.
00:05:50.000 Yeah.
00:05:50.000 Yeah, interesting.
00:05:51.000 Anything else you want to add?
00:05:52.000 No.
00:05:53.000 I would just add it would be one thing if Slee was actually a good candidate.
00:05:56.000 But yesterday he refused to raise his hand when they asked if the NYPD would even cooperate with the National Guard there and all the crime going on, ice and all that.
00:06:05.000 So their main problem is that their one supposedly Republican candidate is not even like any good.
00:06:12.000 He's weak, he's ineffective.
00:06:13.000 Yeah.
00:06:14.000 Absolutely.
00:06:15.000 All right, we've got uh Anthony, thanks so much for your call.
00:06:18.000 All right, we've got Nick.
00:06:18.000 Thanks, guys.
00:06:21.000 Uh, what's your question, Nick?
00:06:23.000 Uh, my question to you guys was um I it's a simple question, but what do you guys think is the best way to learn?
00:06:30.000 And if it is books, like a lot of people say, what do you think is like the best way to help retain that info?
00:06:35.000 Because like I cannot retain the info that I'm reading in these books.
00:06:38.000 Yeah, I actually had a great conversation with Sergio Gore this last week at the White House, and we were talking about Charlie's ability to retain things, and everybody always thought that he had this photographic memory, but he didn't.
00:06:51.000 He didn't have a photographic memory.
00:06:53.000 He would just his secret his secret weapon is he wrote everything down.
00:06:57.000 He would have these journals with him, and he would write it down.
00:07:00.000 He said, When you write it down and then you reread what you wrote down, it helps you retain it in a way that's just crazy.
00:07:07.000 And so I would just start, I'd start by reading a book a month on a topic that you feel inspired by.
00:07:13.000 If it's religion, maybe start with C.S. Lewis or you know, not enough faith to be an atheist, Frank Turk.
00:07:18.000 Um, or you can go down other random rabbit holes with Victor Frankel, Man Search for Meeting was one of Charlie's favorites.
00:07:25.000 But uh Charlie's retention rate for things, it his ability to do that came from writing it down.
00:07:29.000 It was his weapon.
00:07:31.000 Blake has great insight.
00:07:32.000 I wish he was here for this question, but Blake will is uh Blake probably darn near has a photographic memory.
00:07:38.000 He has a really good memory.
00:07:40.000 And uh Blake will actually write in the books that he's reading.
00:07:44.000 So if you, you know, ha if you don't mind doing that with to your book, some people feel very precious with books, but I totally agree.
00:07:51.000 But the other thing I would say that I almost do book reports, and oftentimes those book reports will come out as like tweets, and that helps me retain information.
00:08:00.000 So, like if I'm really into a news story, for example, and there's all those details about names and what's this and that, I will write it down and sometimes I'll tweet about it, and that process will it just helps clarify what you're thinking about something because you have to structure an argument.
00:08:15.000 And when you have to structure an argument based on something you've just read, then it really does help make it sink in.
00:08:24.000 Hey everybody, Andrew Colvet, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:08:28.000 Charlie understood that to lead, he needed to learn.
00:08:31.000 Hillsdale College was ready to teach him.
00:08:33.000 While busy running his company, teaching America's youth and raising a beautiful family.
00:08:37.000 Charlie still found time to complete 31 Hillsdale College free online courses.
00:08:42.000 He talked about it the last time he spoke on his podcast with Hillsdale's president, Dr. Larry Arn.
00:08:47.000 Hillsdale is the cutting edge, and I mean it.
00:08:49.000 It is America's greatest college.
00:08:50.000 You are a force of nature, Charlie Kirk.
00:08:53.000 One of these days, I'm gonna give you an honorary degree.
00:08:55.000 That that would be the honor of my life, but I I got a lot more learning yet to do.
00:08:59.000 And I say this the Hillsdale courses have changed my life.
00:09:01.000 Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, Charlie studied the Bible, the classics, the American founding, and through his relentless pursuit of truth, became not only a great American, but a good man.
00:09:12.000 Charlie's gone, but his spirit of hard work and lifelong learning carry on.
00:09:15.000 Each of us can follow his example and pick up where he left off.
00:09:18.000 So learn like Charlie did at Charlie for Hillsdale.com.
00:09:22.000 That's Charlie for Hillsdale.com.
00:09:26.000 All right.
00:09:27.000 Jessica.
00:09:27.000 Next question.
00:09:28.000 Jessica, are you there?
00:09:30.000 Unmute yourself.
00:09:31.000 I'm here.
00:09:32.000 Jessica, what's your question?
00:09:34.000 My question is Um Charlie Kirk did such a brilliant job with our young men.
00:09:41.000 So how do we reach out to our young women?
00:09:44.000 We have I mean, it's the difference.
00:09:46.000 You know what I mean?
00:09:47.000 The young women really need to be reached out to. 0.59
00:09:51.000 Yeah, I totally agree.
00:09:52.000 So the question is, how do we get them?
00:09:54.000 Um, how do we get young women? 1.00
00:09:56.000 I will say, so let me let me tell you a couple things.
00:09:58.000 One of the one of the things I'm gonna say are probably controversial, like if I said it in front of a bunch of libs.
00:10:05.000 But we were noticing in the polling, this is before what happened to Charlie, that with our youngest women uh that are of voting age, so 18 to 21, Yale Youth Survey poll did did this poll on 18 to 21-year-old women, and we fought saw for the first time an R plus four with young women.
00:10:25.000 Now, that was pre-Iran, pre-some of the stuff with Israel, some of the stuff with Epstein.
00:10:31.000 It's possible that's slid back the the other direction because those things were very unpopular with young young people.
00:10:36.000 And that was something Charlie and I would talk a lot about, Danny.
00:10:38.000 I'm sure you were talking about it a lot with him too.
00:10:41.000 And so it's possible that slipped back, but it was the first time I've ever seen an R plus anything with young women.
00:10:46.000 The uh the young men I think were like R19, R plus 19.
00:10:50.000 So we were already seeing the youngest women, and then Gen Alpha behind Gen Z are more conservative still.
00:10:57.000 So there's good things coming, so keep the faith on that.
00:11:00.000 There was a actual an MBC article that came out and it was asking the question can Erica Kirk be to women what Charlie Kirk was to young men?
00:11:09.000 And I think the answer is, in my opinion, and Mikey, I'd love your perspective on this.
00:11:12.000 If you listen to her speeches, they were uh especially I think back to the the memorial speech where she spoke directly to husbands and wives and young women, and she said to young women, you are not your your husband's rival.
00:11:25.000 You're not gonna be you do your your your uh virtue is a strength.
00:11:29.000 Yeah, and and so I do think she is she is calling out the I guess you would say the idols of our age, because young women think they have to be promiscuous, they have to flaunt their physical bodies all over the place where their hemline meets their neckline, and it's you know, that I think is out of I think it's out of fashion more and more with young people.
00:11:49.000 So Charlie was had this ability to reach young men and give them direction, but young women uh are the ones that are are further to the left than young men, just in the data that we see.
00:11:59.000 And that's because they're the ones that pay attention to what the professor says in class where the young men maybe are on Snapchat or social media, but you know, Mikey, you're just reminding me of something really quick here with this uh the MBC poll.
00:12:11.000 We talked about a lot with Charlie, and I'm gonna I'm gonna pull a graphic.
00:12:14.000 It's probably gonna be a terrible graphic if you guys want to make it better.
00:12:18.000 Yeah, and and just to kind of continue that point that I was making.
00:12:22.000 Um, with young women, we we host a young women's leadership summit at Turning Point USA every single year.
00:12:28.000 We already put out an interest form this year for it, and the numbers are like almost double where triple really where they ever would have been in the past.
00:12:36.000 And so that's kind of a testament to Erica reaching them already.
00:12:39.000 But young women are harder to reach because they they pay attention more, they need more detail, they need more understanding, whereas young men, you give them direction, you give them something to fight for, and they will chase after it. 0.98
00:12:52.000 Um, and so people would always ask Charlie, why don't you have a young men's leadership summit?
00:12:57.000 And he goes, Are you kidding me?
00:12:59.000 You think young men would pay attention to a lecture for 30 minutes, speaker after speaker after speaker.
00:13:05.000 And so, yeah, I think Erica is in a unique spot to reach these young women.
00:13:09.000 She already is.
00:13:10.000 She she didn't have to add that to her memorial speech. 0.99
00:13:13.000 No, she felt called to add that.
00:13:15.000 She kept felt called because you know, she knew that we had 120 million streams that we could track, and I'm assuming there was a lot more because people were ripping the stream, and we were cool with that.
00:13:24.000 We were just saying the memorials for everybody, and uh, and that was a good thing.
00:13:28.000 We're happy about that.
00:13:29.000 But listen, I'm gonna Throw up this image.
00:13:30.000 This is from MBC.
00:13:32.000 And we talked about this with Charlie as well.
00:13:34.000 Which of the following is important to your personal definition of success?
00:13:37.000 And you see young men say having a job or career you find fulfilling would be the top.
00:13:41.000 Having enough money to do the things you want, achieving financial independence, using your talents and resources to help others, making your family and community proud, owning a home, being married, having children.
00:13:50.000 That's a pretty good list.
00:13:50.000 Okay.
00:13:52.000 Yeah.
00:13:52.000 But if you go to women, it's having a job or career you find fulfilling, having enough money to do the things you want, achieving financial independence, having emotional stability, using your talents and resources to help others, and owning your own home, having no debt, and then and then down at 10 and 11 is having children and being married.
00:14:12.000 And so that's how highly young women are placing the things that will really, I think, stabilize your life and bring you actual happiness and joy. 1.00
00:14:22.000 Joy would be the operative word there, but what's sad is that they put that it's the it's kind of right towards the bottom.
00:14:28.000 It's a second to last.
00:14:30.000 So that's a huge problem that young women have been sold a lie that getting married and having children will somehow be a drag on them, that they won't be able to do what their first priority is, which is having a job and finding uh a fulfilling career, which is a weird I mean, you would not have seen that in other generations.
00:14:47.000 Uh Danny, you're you're on the dating scene.
00:14:49.000 Do you find this a lot?
00:14:51.000 Yeah, it's a real problem right now.
00:14:52.000 Um young men, I just feel like are more focused on actually having a family.
00:14:57.000 Um, which is interesting.
00:14:59.000 Yeah.
00:14:59.000 I feel like feminism plays a big role in that.
00:15:02.000 Um the lie of feminism. 1.00
00:15:03.000 It's really it's really like third wave feminism, which is really toxic, which is trying to be equal with men and this sort of toxic masculinity.
00:15:12.000 You know, you could make a case for voting, you could make a case for uh having equal uh opportunity in the workplace.
00:15:18.000 I think that's you know, probably all fine, well, and good, and we've all come to come to see it that way.
00:15:23.000 But having the option and the freedom to do something is different than prioritizing it as your top priority, okay.
00:15:29.000 The the having you know, a job for a young woman, um, i is it it's funny because young women's leadership summit, Charlie would always go viral. 0.99
00:15:36.000 Yeah, because he would always say, Listen, the only reason to go to college if you're a woman is to get that MRS degree. 1.00
00:15:42.000 Meet a man, like get married and start having babies.
00:15:44.000 People, I mean, people would just erupt because he's not allowed to have those opinions as uh as a guy.
00:15:48.000 Yeah.
00:15:49.000 Well, well, awesome.
00:15:50.000 Should we get to Micah?
00:15:52.000 All right.
00:15:53.000 Well, should we read his question?
00:15:54.000 Because this one is a good question.
00:15:56.000 Yeah.
00:15:57.000 What what to do about liberal Christian schools?
00:16:00.000 I just need to do this super quick.
00:16:02.000 So I went to uh uh Oaks Christian that was my high school in California.
00:16:07.000 Rob Black is the headmaster there.
00:16:11.000 They are refusing a turning point USA chapter.
00:16:14.000 I sent him an email.
00:16:15.000 You're not responding to me, Rob.
00:16:15.000 Shame.
00:16:17.000 And I have a problem with that.
00:16:18.000 Same with Point Loma in San Diego.
00:16:21.000 Point Loma.
00:16:22.000 They this is a Christian school.
00:16:24.000 You're not allowing a turning point chapter.
00:16:25.000 What do you they didn't even allow a Charlie Kirk Memorial at Point Loma until we threatened to sue?
00:16:31.000 So I I'm a little confused at these Christian in name only schools that are somewhat liberal.
00:16:37.000 Chinos? 0.98
00:16:38.000 Yeah.
00:16:41.000 Cheetah.
00:16:42.000 Yeah, we need to use that.
00:16:43.000 Chinos. 0.99
00:16:44.000 These chinos. 1.00
00:16:45.000 Only beta males wear chinos.
00:16:46.000 No, I'm kidding.
00:16:47.000 I'd probably have a couple pairs.
00:16:48.000 I don't really wear Chinos.
00:16:49.000 I wear Chinos.
00:16:50.000 You do wear Chinos.
00:16:51.000 I love it.
00:16:52.000 No judgment here.
00:16:55.000 President Trump walked into a catch-22 when taking office.
00:16:58.000 Do nothing in America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future.
00:17:04.000 Instead, he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train and buy us some time.
00:17:08.000 But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system, and experts predict dramatic price increases in market uncertainty.
00:17:16.000 Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you.
00:17:22.000 And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver.
00:17:26.000 Preserve gold is our go-to choice here at the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:17:30.000 We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver, even inside your retirement accounts like an IRA or 401k.
00:17:37.000 Now, hear from Charlie in his own words.
00:17:39.000 Preserve gold is my go-to choice for all my precious metal needs.
00:17:43.000 They are the real deal.
00:17:43.000 And I recommend them to my friends, family, and viewers.
00:17:46.000 Get their free wealth protection guide now by texting Charlie to 50505.
00:17:52.000 President Trump is fighting for America's future.
00:17:54.000 Now it's your turn to help protect yours.
00:17:56.000 Andrew Colvette joined by Danny Phillip and Mikey McCoy.
00:18:02.000 No, no, we're not going to do any more Mom Donnie impersonation.
00:18:06.000 I have to stop unless Media Matters is looming.
00:18:09.000 Patriot takes media matters.
00:18:11.000 He is the king of fake accent.
00:18:13.000 He's a code switcher.
00:18:14.000 He's he's the one that started it.
00:18:16.000 So he's he fakes accents all the time.
00:18:16.000 Okay.
00:18:19.000 So I'm faking the fake.
00:18:21.000 I'm faking the fake stuff.
00:18:22.000 You're just doing what he showed us the way on.
00:18:24.000 Uh Caleb and Michelle.
00:18:26.000 Uh members.charlie Kirk.com if you want to join our AMAs.
00:18:30.000 Caleb Michelle, what's going on?
00:18:31.000 Hey, we thought Mikey's impersonations were hilarious.
00:18:34.000 So thank you.
00:18:36.000 Around the office, everybody's begging Mikey to do the impersonation.
00:18:39.000 He's got a great hydroxychloroque one, but I don't know if we're we'll do Stephen Hawking next next week.
00:18:45.000 I'll say B is it's really really very good.
00:18:48.000 Okay.
00:18:49.000 What's your guys' question?
00:18:51.000 Hey, well, we were we haven't heard an America Fest update in a while, and our concern is how are we gonna fit all the people that are registered into the Phoenix Convention Center?
00:19:00.000 We have the same concern.
00:19:02.000 We actually turned some of the ticketing off because uh VIP filled up.
00:19:08.000 The actual convention center can expand um in our exhibitor hall, the way it's formatted, there's actually ways to add more seating and to expand it.
00:19:16.000 So there is ways that we can do it in staging too, the amount of seats that we put there uh if we do side seating versus more stadium seating or higher stadium seating.
00:19:26.000 So there are ways to fill it.
00:19:28.000 Um so that's not a worry of ours, but our worry is how can we get even more people there?
00:19:35.000 Um and it's really exciting because these people usually they're Arizonans that are coming.
00:19:41.000 These are a lot of out-of-state people coming right before Christmas.
00:19:44.000 There's yeah, I would say Arizona gets like an outsized presence, but there's always like a lot of people from out of state and I mean we have all 50 states represented at Amfest every year.
00:19:53.000 We have all 50 states, but it's just it's gonna be more and it's gonna be bigger.
00:19:56.000 And I will tell you everybody basically that we've asked to come speak at Amfest has been like, yes, please, absolutely, whatever we can do.
00:20:03.000 So we're gonna have an amazing lineup of speakers at Amfest.
00:20:06.000 And so rest assured that is gonna happen.
00:20:09.000 I thought you were gonna ask about the halftime show, because right now my inbox is our inboxes halftime is is the the the-cause they love it.
00:20:17.000 Did I say did I say it wrong?
00:20:18.000 No, halftime show.
00:20:19.000 No, no, no.
00:20:19.000 I'm saying that everyone's just about half.
00:20:21.000 Caleb, do you are you excited about the halftime show?
00:20:24.000 Yeah, I think it's gonna be a phenomenal thing.
00:20:26.000 I think we'll I I'm hoping the viewership exceeds the people that are watching, you know, the other the other event that's gonna be going on at that same time.
00:20:34.000 Whatever that other one, that other thing is we don't we don't know we don't know anything about it.
00:20:38.000 So I so I have to I I thought that's where this was going, so I had the team prep all these clips.
00:20:43.000 Uh, but I will tell you we have triggered the left.
00:20:47.000 We have triggered the the the Twitterati or the TikTok uh on the left.
00:20:52.000 So let's I have to play a couple of these.
00:20:55.000 Uh okay, so here's all the clips.
00:20:57.000 Let's play 282.
00:20:58.000 If you look at the common denominator around all these I would call them white Christian nationalists, is they are all white.
00:21:08.000 And the Super Bowl halftime performer is not.
00:21:14.000 Hmm.
00:21:16.000 Deep thoughts from that's from a Louisville pastor.
00:21:19.000 A Louisville pastor.
00:21:20.000 That was really deep.
00:21:22.000 This is you know, this is why you know the rates of Christianity in this day in the country had been dropping because we had to deal with these kind of beta males. 0.91
00:21:30.000 Okay.
00:21:30.000 Uh, do you want to chime in on this?
00:21:32.000 Or I just at least looking forward to our halftime show being in English.
00:21:37.000 Well, yeah, listen, okay.
00:21:39.000 Here's the thing.
00:21:41.000 We have a lot of Hispanic fans of this show and of Charlie.
00:21:44.000 Like it this is not about this is not anti-Hispanic.
00:21:48.000 It's Bad Bunny said you had four months to learn Spanish because he refuses to speak English, even though he's Puerto Rican, which is part of America, and he refuses to speak English.
00:21:58.000 Oh, yeah, but I uh from my lens too, I could view this as we're we're an English speaking country, and this is an English speaking event.
00:22:05.000 It's also the biggest event on our soil.
00:22:07.000 Here's another uh clip.
00:22:08.000 Uh 296.
00:22:10.000 They're gonna do their own halftime show. 0.59
00:22:12.000 Lee Greenwood did rot.
00:22:15.000 It's gonna be sponsored by like Minute Made White Rice, salt, and bottled water.
00:22:24.000 It's so funny how like much people have keyed into like the racial side of this.
00:22:28.000 It's so strange.
00:22:30.000 Uh bottled water.
00:22:32.000 Here's a we had no there is zero racial anything in our thinking about this event at all.
00:22:39.000 I can tell you like behind the scenes weren't like, we need to do an event for white people. 0.58
00:22:39.000 Like at all. 0.58
00:22:44.000 You know, like that didn't even come into the conversation.
00:22:46.000 At the intellectual depth of some of these people.
00:22:49.000 Like it his his roasts aren't even that good.
00:22:52.000 White rice and bottled water.
00:22:53.000 Like, what are you trying to get at?
00:22:54.000 That's not even funny or deep or good.
00:22:56.000 I don't know.
00:22:57.000 Okay, this one actually kind of made me laugh.
00:22:59.000 Like sometimes okay, you get hat tip when it can make you laugh.
00:23:02.000 366.
00:23:04.000 We'll host counter programming to the Super Bowl halftime show after a mega meltdown over the NFL choosing bad bunny as this year's headliner.
00:23:13.000 Adding, we're so happy to announce our headliners.
00:23:16.000 Kid Rockin and AR 15.
00:23:20.000 It's actually stupid, but it it had it made me laugh a little bit.
00:23:24.000 Okay, I I want to play one more.
00:23:27.000 Let's see.
00:23:28.000 This is a Lib Karen.
00:23:29.000 We'll get one Lib Karen in there. 1.00
00:23:30.000 363.
00:23:31.000 Charlie Kirk's Network just announced that they're going to have a rival halftime show.
00:23:40.000 and all-American rival halftime show.
00:23:51.000 Puerto Rico is a United States territory.
00:23:56.000 Puerto Ricans are US citizens.
00:24:02.000 I have never wanted to learn Spanish more.
00:24:10.000 Puerto Rico is an American.
00:24:12.000 Like where that was You know what it reminded me of is like the, you know, the the weather forecasters in Southern California or something, and they'd be like, you know, they wouldn't.
00:24:23.000 And it and the clouds are going to be moving in from the West over Santa Barbara.
00:24:27.000 And then they were just like, you know.
00:24:28.000 Anyways.
00:24:29.000 I mean, she can move to Puerto Rico if she really wants to be able to do that. 1.00
00:24:31.000 There's nobody stopping you from learning Spanish.
00:24:33.000 I actually I studied abroad and learned Spanish.
00:24:37.000 I have no problem with Spanish.
00:24:38.000 Yes.
00:24:39.000 I didn't know that.
00:24:39.000 Yeah, maybe you don't want to go in Espana.
00:24:41.000 Yeah.
00:24:42.000 Anyways, there's nothing wrong with Spanish.
00:24:43.000 There's nothing wrong with like I it's just so funny that they so many people took this as like an anti Hispanic.
00:24:50.000 That's not anti-Hispanic.
00:24:52.000 The guy will not stand for the American national anthem.
00:24:54.000 The guy doesn't like this country.
00:24:56.000 He's he won't perform in America because he's worried about ice.
00:24:59.000 Anyways, we just had to we had to go in that.
00:25:01.000 Caleb, final thoughts?
00:25:03.000 Yeah, sure.
00:25:04.000 The other thing is it's not just the Spanish thing.
00:25:07.000 I think for years we have been feeling like a certain cultural element is being prust upon us at these shows, in like the Emmys and every halftime show.
00:25:19.000 And it's like the debauchery, the you know, and it's like we want something that feels American.
00:25:26.000 We don't feel like the we're a part of these halftime shows, and then we don't feel like they're celebrating things that we want to celebrate.
00:25:32.000 So why not have our own thing?
00:25:34.000 And it's not racial motivated at all.
00:25:37.000 Yeah, but yeah, booty cheeks and debauchery do not define the colour. 1.00
00:25:41.000 You know what I can't watch values.
00:25:42.000 Yeah, you know what I can't watch anymore?
00:25:43.000 And I'm as a kid I remember watching it.
00:25:45.000 Yeah, I cannot watch the Grammys.
00:25:47.000 It's I haven't watched it.
00:25:49.000 Is so bad.
00:25:50.000 I mean filth.
00:25:52.000 The Oscars at least kind of still tries to, you know, the elegant dresses and stuff, and they don't do the like C through, you know, but at the Grammys, you'll wasn't it like Kanye's wife or whatever?
00:26:02.000 Didn't she just like show up in a completely new deck or something? 1.00
00:26:06.000 Anyway, but this is also the this is stuff that mom Donnie's pushing for, not just debauchery to be platformed for prostitution to be legalized. 1.00
00:26:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00
00:26:15.000 You want hookers on the street in America's biggest. 1.00
00:26:21.000 I didn't I never have that's a lie from from Andrew Cuomo about prostitution being legalized, and then they get to the late later part of the question like would you prosecute it?
00:26:29.000 Well, I I wouldn't prosecute it.
00:26:32.000 So de facto legalization of prostitution.
00:26:36.000 So, anyways, it's totally the same thing.
00:26:37.000 Uh Caleb and Michelle, thank you as always.
00:26:39.000 Let's get to the next question here.
00:26:41.000 Uh who's next, Emma?
00:26:43.000 We got is it Christine?
00:26:45.000 I'm here.
00:26:46.000 Hi.
00:26:47.000 What's your question?
00:26:48.000 Hi.
00:26:49.000 My question is about this this um No King's Day tomorrow.
00:26:53.000 What would this demonstration do?
00:26:56.000 Could it throw a wrench in the Republicans' efforts, Or is this just political theater?
00:27:02.000 I just don't understand why they're doing it or why the Democrats are holding out for this.
00:27:08.000 Yeah, I feel like this is just this is typical of the left.
00:27:12.000 And this isn't their first protest of this sort.
00:27:15.000 They this it's a lot of noise with no substance, and you oftentimes forget about it a few days later.
00:27:22.000 But something I pointed out to Andrew a little while ago is I think it's really ironic and rich that the smaller party is the one shutting down the government, and then once they shut down the government, that same smaller party is the one saying Trump is king.
00:27:39.000 I just I it's a little ironic to me.
00:27:42.000 I don't know.
00:27:42.000 What do you think, Danny?
00:27:43.000 Yeah, he wouldn't have I mean, if he was really a king, they wouldn't even be able to protest.
00:27:48.000 Yeah, you wouldn't be able to protest, and you would not be able to shut down the government.
00:27:52.000 Yeah, I yeah, I I don't know if it will have effect.
00:27:55.000 Yeah, no, here's here's what it is.
00:27:57.000 So the entire Democrat Party is under a lot of pressure right now from their left base, so their left flank, right?
00:28:05.000 That would be the DSA, Democrat Socialists of America, the Antifa base, the Foot Soldier base, the activist base.
00:28:11.000 And Chuck Schumer and all these guys went along with a continuing resolution earlier in the year, and they got shellacked for it.
00:28:19.000 Absolutely shellacked, and AOC is waiting in the wings to primary him.
00:28:24.000 Okay.
00:28:24.000 So this is a big problem for establishment Democrat politicians.
00:28:29.000 They need to show that they are with the people and that they're fighting the good fight against the tyrant Donald Trump.
00:28:35.000 But here's the bigger problem, and why this is actually dangerous is there's going to be a lot of pent-up rage.
00:28:40.000 Where's the rage coming from?
00:28:42.000 A lot of it is disinformation.
00:28:43.000 And you see this, actually, get me the clip, guys, of um Don Lamont, okay?
00:28:49.000 Don Lamont uh talking about uh getting armed.
00:28:53.000 Here's what's happening right now.
00:28:54.000 So there's a bunch of misinformation around ice, specifically ice.
00:28:58.000 So you've got these showdowns in Portland, you got the showdown in Chicago, and I was looking for a thread here.
00:29:04.000 Uh somebody uh put together a really great thread of all of these ice stories that have gone massively viral on Blue Sky and on left-wing Twitter, and they're all lies.
00:29:15.000 So whether that be a picture of uh somebody arresting a four-year-old toddler, you know, it's not actually a a true story at all.
00:29:24.000 It was a it was a father that was play the kid had asked to be, you know, put handcuffs on him like he was getting arrested.
00:29:30.000 But there's many, many such stories where they're saying, Oh, if you're black and brown, you're gonna be arrested.
00:29:35.000 Uh yeah, and th th so they all believe this lie that you're just gonna get arrested if you're black and brown, really quick, 343.
00:29:41.000 Black people, brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your plate where you live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally.
00:29:58.000 Because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the second amendment was written for?
00:30:09.000 Go back and read what the second amendment says.
00:30:12.000 So so they just want to foment a lot of rage, and the Democrats just want to look like they're doing something about Mino Trump.
00:30:18.000 So they're using disinformation to do that.
00:30:22.000 We truly are living in a historic time.
00:30:25.000 After 738 days, the 20 living Israeli hostages have been released from captivity.
00:30:31.000 And those who were killed will finally rest in peace near their loved ones.
00:30:35.000 Praise God.
00:30:36.000 In this time of celebration, our good friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews send their deepest gratitude for your prayers and unwavering support.
00:30:44.000 Thanks to you, the fellowship has provided 300 million dollars in emergency aid since October 7th, including millions in direct support for the hostages and their families.
00:30:54.000 Of course, the road ahead is still a long one.
00:30:57.000 Much needs to be done to restore and revive these victims of terrorism.
00:31:01.000 But that's exactly what the fellowship does.
00:31:03.000 For example, they're assisting returned hostages along with their families and friends with immediate medical, psychological, and financial support.
00:31:11.000 They're also providing mental health care for Israelis of all ages.
00:31:15.000 To find out how you can help, visit IFCJ.org.
00:31:19.000 That's IFCJ.org.
00:31:23.000 There's a thread, and I'm gonna find it.
00:31:25.000 Uh actually Blake was the one who flagged it for me, but it's it's basically it's it's about six or seven stories, and the person that put this thread together highlighted just how many millions of views these stories have, and they're all lies.
00:31:39.000 And the person debunks them uh each one by one.
00:31:42.000 And it's it's basically just if you're black or brown, if you're a citizen, they're gonna come into your door, they're gonna knock on it, they're gonna drag you out in front of your family, and they're gonna send you to some foreign country, even though you're an American citizen. 0.68
00:31:53.000 Not happening.
00:31:54.000 It's not happening.
00:31:56.000 And so for Don Lamont, who has something of a platform, obviously he we we find him to be something of a joke.
00:32:03.000 They are you know trying to stoke outrage.
00:32:08.000 That's their whole thing right now.
00:32:09.000 Be outrage, be mad.
00:32:10.000 And we're we're living under a tyrant and they're weaponizing the j judicial system. 0.97
00:32:14.000 I am very, very worried for our ICE officers all around the country because a lot of this anger is being thrown at them, and it's really not fair because they're just doing the job that the American people voted for and that their elected officials finance with the one big beautiful bill to add more ice agents and to do mass deportations.
00:32:33.000 This was not something that we hid in the campaign.
00:32:35.000 We went we wanted mass deportations.
00:32:37.000 Danny, I know you wanted mass deportations.
00:32:39.000 Yeah, I love how Don Lamont is suddenly now pro-gun when it comes to protecting illegal aliens, but when it comes to protecting your own family, he doesn't want anybody to have a gun as well anti-second and how he framed it.
00:32:52.000 He's like, You've got to protect your family with your gun because ice is gonna come in and rage your home because you're black and brown. 1.00
00:32:58.000 And that's but only black and brown people are allowed guns. 1.00
00:33:01.000 But this is it is it is some somewhat disturbing because right wing gun culture is like very established, it's hunting, it's passed down generationally.
00:33:09.000 These people are like this this is deranged stuff.
00:33:12.000 So this is like a whole different vibe, right?
00:33:14.000 And you see this with the armed LGB, you know, the armed queer SLC group that I that we are you know looking into right now. 0.83
00:33:22.000 And did they know about Charlie's the the assassination that was gonna happen against Charlie?
00:33:27.000 And you know, but this is uh John Brown gun club.
00:33:29.000 There is a very insidious left-wing gun culture, armed militia culture that's happening, and uh we have to be on the lookout for it because you know these people do not believe in l the liberal values of open debate and open dialogue, they've rejected them outright.
00:33:44.000 And we saw that with Mark Bray, the Rutgers professor that wrote the Antifa book.
00:33:49.000 The whole book is advocating for preemptive violence to smash fascism, and what is fascism and it's conservatives?
00:33:55.000 That's what they think of conservatives.
00:33:57.000 Um they think we're all Nazis.
00:33:58.000 All right, next question.
00:33:59.000 Uh Brandon, I think we have Brandon.
00:34:02.000 Is that the next one?
00:34:03.000 I think we're waiting for Brandon.
00:34:05.000 Do we have emails that we want to get to?
00:34:06.000 Yeah.
00:34:07.000 I don't know.
00:34:08.000 Andrew, there's multiple emails asking about your hair gel.
00:34:11.000 I keep saying this.
00:34:14.000 Two.
00:34:17.000 Yeah.
00:34:17.000 Wait, so it's actually uh I use crew.
00:34:20.000 I think it's crew fiber.
00:34:20.000 Oh, good.
00:34:24.000 What?
00:34:25.000 I just had to bring it up.
00:34:26.000 You had to, you jerk.
00:34:27.000 No, um, so it it it so what happened was I started to have to you know be on the show every day, and normally my hair's kind of like crazy and like dry.
00:34:27.000 You had to.
00:34:38.000 And so all of a sudden I was like, Well, I can't, you know, it's just too risky to go that way.
00:34:42.000 So I just like at least this way, I just like come back and it kind of like sits down.
00:34:46.000 All right, Brandon, what's your question?
00:34:47.000 Let's get on to something more wholesome.
00:34:49.000 Hey guys, uh, just a little context for this question.
00:34:52.000 So uh I gave a a speech about my Charlie Kirk journey last night at the our local uh Ronald Reagan dinner in Iowa.
00:35:01.000 And you know, I was preparing for and after I gave in afterwards, I was just I was kind of thinking like how does Charlie prepare for his speeches and then afterwards, you know, how does he you know who gives him feedback?
00:35:13.000 Does he take notes on what he did?
00:35:15.000 Like, how does he get better after every speech?
00:35:17.000 Mikey, why don't you take this one?
00:35:19.000 Yeah, he yeah, well, sometimes actually Charlie used to do a lot of speech prep, but then he got to a point in in the later years where he was just so good at giving speeches that some days he would just like write before take ten minutes and do five bullet points and then get on stage and just riff.
00:35:35.000 I guess it was a gift that he had.
00:35:37.000 I I have so many memories of Charlie, like what I would I would be with if you know before his speech, and he'd be like, we'd be backstage and goes, um, so what do you think I should talk about?
00:35:45.000 Like I'm like, dude, Charlie, you're going on in two minutes.
00:35:47.000 Like they're literally announcing you, you just like put me on the spot.
00:35:50.000 Like, what what do I need to talk about?
00:35:52.000 And this is the other thing that's really cool about Charlie, is people actively avoid QA because you never know what you're gonna get.
00:35:57.000 And so it's the wild unknown, is what Charlie used to call it.
00:36:00.000 And it's it's it's exciting.
00:36:02.000 It's you're out in the streets, you're basically fighting with words, and people try to avoid QA, but Charlie would actively seek it.
00:36:09.000 So he would say, Can I just do like a 10-15 minutes speech and then 45 minutes of QA?
00:36:14.000 And and events that he went to, they loved that about him.
00:36:18.000 So I I'm I just encourage everybody who gives speeches to just keep on getting to the point where you give so many of them and you do such a good job that you can inevitably get to the point that Charlie was at where it goes on stage.
00:36:29.000 Yeah just repetition is key just do more and if you're not doing a lot if you have like these one offs I would say prep a lot practice go into like a private place and read it out.
00:36:42.000 Yeah re read out the speech uh put you have to say it out loud do it out loud don't just read it it takes like 10 times reading a speech before you kind of have it in the back of your head so then you don't have to look down at the paper as much or your iPad or whatever you're reading.
00:36:55.000 Yeah I don't I do not actually give a lot of speeches but that's what I did for the memorial speech and now I mean you and I have both been asked to speak a lot of places.
00:37:03.000 I don't know if I'm going to be an active speech giver but I will say that well in that moment I had to I just did a lot of it I just read it back and read it back and read you know who's actually good at speeches and this is Danny.
00:37:17.000 Danny's good at speeches and he gave them all the time at Ohio State Danny was the chapter prez.
00:37:22.000 Yeah not that good but oh you you you do good I was better at just prepping for Charlie.
00:37:26.000 Yeah we do have an uh question here from Elizabeth do you have an anyone organizing Charlie's reading list that we can access online you cannot access it yet but we are actively working on it and Blake is running point on that and we have to find that tweet this guy put out a tweet where he said I heard you guys talking about on the show and so I went back and watched every single episode and send it this guy's great we got to find him somewhere we gotta find that tweet I know let me just find it that should have been flag bookmark and and everything.
00:37:53.000 And by the way, I think we have something going on.
00:37:56.000 I found it.
00:37:57.000 We found it.
00:37:58.000 Oh, here we go.
00:38:00.000 No, please don't do this.
