The Charlie Kirk Show - Ask Us Anything 247: Bible in 365? Immigration Sentimentalism? Blackrock Housing?

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 going to 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 got to 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 USA college chapter.

00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA 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.

00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.

00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.

00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.

00:00:45.000 Here I am.

00:00:46.000 Lord Musemate.

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 Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:12.000 We're in the Ask Us Anything hour, the Ask We Anything hour.

00:01:16.000 Ask us they them.

00:01:17.000 Ask They them.

00:01:17.000 They them.

00:01:19.000 They them.

00:01:21.000 Okay.

00:01:22.000 We disavow.

00:01:23.000 Well, yeah.

00:01:24.000 One time I asked Charlie if ironic woke gear is funny.

00:01:29.000 Like, I have...

00:01:30.000 Oh, geez.

00:01:32.000 Somebody stop me.

00:01:33.000 I have probably three they them mugs because people get them for me because it's ironic.

00:01:38.000 Yeah.

00:01:39.000 You lean a little too far into that sometimes.

00:01:42.000 But it's funny.

00:01:42.000 Okay.

00:01:43.000 And so I asked Charlie, should we be selling ironic woke gear?

00:01:47.000 He effectively said no, but you know, he did approve of the mockery of it.

00:01:52.000 He made fun of it until it doesn't exist anymore.

00:01:54.000 And that's, I think, the approach that we should take.

00:01:56.000 Ridicule is a very powerful weapon, which a lot of liberals are certainly aware of.

00:02:00.000 I think it's in the Sololinsky things.

00:02:02.000 Ridicule is a powerful weapon.

00:02:04.000 But people are paying subscribers are queued up to ask us questions.

00:02:09.000 Do we have Anthony?

00:02:10.000 If you're there, Anthony, unmute yourself.

00:02:12.000 Welcome to the show.

00:02:14.000 How are you?

00:02:14.000 Hi, guys.

00:02:15.000 Hello.

00:02:16.000 What's your question?

00:02:16.000 Welcome.

00:02:18.000 Well, it's two questions, actually.

00:02:20.000 So my first question is this.

00:02:21.000 Why are so many people in our country in favor of keeping illegal criminals in the U.S. and thinking they're like the sweetest people in the world?

00:02:30.000 And my second question is this.

00:02:32.000 Why?

00:02:33.000 I'm getting an impression that people, for some reason, are now voting for Democrats in the off elections and possibly midterms.

00:02:41.000 Do people, because of Trump not doing stuff fast enough, but do they understand the bills that he has signed to like lower taxes, no tax on tips, don't kick in until 2026?

00:02:51.000 It seems like they want those things to start.

00:02:54.000 As soon as he signs and drops the pen, like it starts that moment.

00:02:57.000 And by the way, cute mascot right there in the middle.

00:03:00.000 And have you named him the duck or is it puddles?

00:03:03.000 I think I just called him Ducky the Duck, which I know is incorrect, but I don't follow enough college football.

00:03:08.000 But yeah, I'm told it is the duck.

00:03:10.000 The duck.

00:03:12.000 You and I have emailed about that.

00:03:13.000 Yes.

00:03:14.000 Oh, that's you.

00:03:14.000 Yeah, that's you, Anthony.

00:03:15.000 You did send me that email.

00:03:16.000 That was great.

00:03:17.000 I appreciated that.

00:03:18.000 All right.

00:03:19.000 So question one. 1.00

00:03:20.000 Why do people want to keep illegals in the country?

00:03:22.000 You guys, you definitely have thoughts because I think you were at the roofing convention, Mikey.

00:03:27.000 Do you want to tell that?

00:03:27.000 I have a lot of thoughts about this.

00:03:29.000 I actually got into this this last week with someone that was like, if we deport all these people, who's going to work in the meat packing plant?

00:03:36.000 Who's going to work in the farming industry?

00:03:38.000 Who's going to work in all these places?

00:03:40.000 And then my response to them was, well, who's going to work at all in 10 years with the AI revolution?

00:03:47.000 Joking happened.

00:03:48.000 But a real concern.

00:03:49.000 It is a real concern, right?

00:03:51.000 But here's why a lot of people don't want to give it away.

00:03:54.000 And specifically, this is like the wealthy elite, top 1%.

00:03:58.000 It's like you go to Palm Beach, you know, you go to Beverly Hills.

00:04:02.000 They don't want to give up their cheap labor. 0.97

00:04:04.000 And they get used to this really nice lifestyle with having, you know, eight to ten staff on hand that are probably illegal aliens. 0.86

00:04:15.000 And they're choosing to just ignore the fact and say they're really nice people. 0.94

00:04:20.000 Well, they broke the law.

00:04:21.000 Yeah, they can be really nice people, but they broke the law.

00:04:24.000 It's kind of a suffocating, there's a lot of sentimentalism in American life where you really want things to be a like a Hallmark movie or something comparable, really strong.

00:04:36.000 People just are easily manipulated by emotional appeals.

00:04:40.000 And it's one reason it's important what the administration is doing to really emphasize, first of all, a lot of these people are very bad.

00:04:47.000 But you also have to say, even if they're not literal rapists or sexual predators, they're people who broke the law. 0.89

00:04:54.000 They came into this country.

00:04:55.000 They are not from here. 1.00

00:04:57.000 And it is damaging our country long term to just let people come in and to let our laws erode. 0.97

00:05:02.000 It's a difficult messaging thing.

00:05:05.000 Do you have any thoughts on that, Joe Bob, before the second one?

00:05:08.000 I mean, you pretty much all tied it up.

00:05:10.000 I think from a more granular level, not necessarily the people in power that want the cheap labor, but the people that don't quite understand how difficult it is to build a thriving culture and society, that don't understand the founding of the country, and that don't recognize that, hey, if you don't maintain this, it will go away. 0.99

00:05:27.000 And just, oh, yeah, we can let in a bunch of third worlders, a bunch of Somalis, and that won't degrade the culture at all. 0.91

00:05:34.000 And it's just inaccurate, and it kind of shows a certain amount of ineptitude in just understanding what the country is. 1.00

00:05:44.000 Which is why Club America is so important.

00:05:47.000 On the who will do those jobs thing, I think about, I think this is intuitive.

00:05:51.000 For example, people realize with ChatGPT, for example, if you ask ChatGPT to write everything, write all of your emails, example, or to write all of your homework assignments, I think people intuitively understand you lose the ability to do that. 0.96

00:06:06.000 You make yourself dumb. 0.92

00:06:08.000 You aren't able to do those things anymore. 1.00

00:06:10.000 It can also be a tool.

00:06:12.000 It can be a tool, but if you become wholly dependent on a tool, you do atrophy your own abilities.

00:06:17.000 So the answer to who will work in a meatpacking plant or who will do anything else is, well, the reason our people aren't doing that is because we have gotten ourselves hooked on this endless spigot of illegal labor.

00:06:29.000 And that matters in so many things because we're de-skilling ourselves.

00:06:32.000 Yeah, that's excellent.

00:06:34.000 I mean, there's also no necessary need to overcomplicate it.

00:06:37.000 The answer is somebody will.

00:06:38.000 No.

00:06:39.000 Like, they just will.

00:06:40.000 Somebody will.

00:06:40.000 But we talked about this on the show a couple of weeks ago.

00:06:43.000 Like, the American people, like, we are resilient.

00:06:46.000 Like, when hardship comes, when the impossible faces us, we figure it out.

00:06:51.000 Like, it's just what we do. 0.89

00:06:52.000 World War II, we had the women in the warehouses making bullets and manufacturing arms and all these things in the U.S. Like we are a resilient people, but hardship must come first for us to become resilient. 0.77

00:07:06.000 And we've just gotten used to this comfort lifestyle with illegal labor on so many different levels where our society used to be you work really hard.

00:07:15.000 Like to build a house, you would have to save up the money for the lumber and work really hard and build the house.

00:07:21.000 And then you can have the comfort of sitting down in the sanctuary of that house.

00:07:26.000 But now we live in a society where you're renting all the time.

00:07:30.000 The thought of buying a house is almost impossible.

00:07:33.000 And then on top of that, there's programs like BNPL, which Buy Now Pay Later, where it's quite literally the opposite of work hard and reap the reward.

00:07:41.000 It's you get the reward first, and then you have a six-part payment plan after the fact to work hard.

00:07:48.000 Possibility.

00:07:49.000 So we're kind of like switching our values in the U.S. of, you know, we want comfort first and then consequences second.

00:07:56.000 And the consequences of illegal labor and illegal migration to this country are showing themselves.

00:08:02.000 They're all backloaded.

00:08:03.000 And that's a lot of decisions America's made.

00:08:05.000 On the second one, are people voting for Democrats in these off-year elections?

00:08:08.000 They clearly are because Democrats are winning.

00:08:10.000 They flipped the Miami mayorship, which that's a blue city, but it's had a Republican mayor for a long time.

00:08:17.000 They've won some other seats.

00:08:19.000 There's other races where we win, but it's a place we won by 40 and now we're winning by 20.

00:08:24.000 That's still not great.

00:08:26.000 And they're winning mostly like local elections.

00:08:28.000 Yes, yes.

00:08:29.000 And there's a few things that drive that.

00:08:30.000 One is they're just fired up.

00:08:32.000 We saw this Trump's first term.

00:08:34.000 He very naturally fires up people who don't like him.

00:08:38.000 And he has altered the Republican coalition.

00:08:40.000 So it gets more of those marginal, lower propensity voters.

00:08:44.000 So I keep having that thought.

00:08:47.000 The young voters who voted for Trump last November, how many of them even know when there's an off-year election happening?

00:08:52.000 A lot of them just don't.

00:08:53.000 I was going to say it's a combination between Trump fires people up, but then also when Trump's in the White House, a lot of conservatives go, okay, cool, we're good for right now.

00:09:00.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:09:01.000 So it's a double-edged sword there.

00:09:04.000 They get fired up and we kind of get complacent.

00:09:08.000 2018.

00:09:09.000 There's complacency.

00:09:11.000 There's also, let's be frank, there's weird, there's this element.

00:09:14.000 A lot of people like defeatism.

00:09:15.000 It's sort of, it's a little addictive to be negative.

00:09:19.000 That's a real psychological temptation.

00:09:21.000 There's a lot of people who are, they're big quitters on, you mentioned, for example, you know, stuff that's taking effect in 2026.

00:09:28.000 Deportations is a great example.

00:09:29.000 People want there to be faster deportations.

00:09:31.000 I want there to be faster deportations.

00:09:33.000 But we have fully secured the border.

00:09:36.000 That's a huge win that people just barely even talk about.

00:09:39.000 We have, as you said, no taxes on tips.

00:09:42.000 I think that is a good example.

00:09:43.000 If that's kicking in this next year, there are hopefully some of those lower propensity people see that win in their pocketbooks this next year can improve their mentality.

00:09:52.000 Yeah, Charlie would always say complacency is a cancer.

00:09:54.000 And so it's like, it's typical with Republicans to kind of get a win and then sit back and think everything's fine.

00:10:00.000 Where Charlie's mindset, literally in this studio and this chair right here, after the win in 2024, I just saw a video this last week.

00:10:10.000 Charlie literally 13 minutes after it was declared that President Trump had won, 13 minutes after, Charlie texted his friends and said, let's start thinking about the data for the midterms.

00:10:23.000 Like that is the mindset of a winner.

00:10:26.000 Like Michael Jordan going to shoot right after the victory party.

00:10:29.000 You never get complacent.

00:10:31.000 You're going, you're worrying about the next thing coming up.

00:10:34.000 That was a great question.

00:10:35.000 We took the whole segment on it.

00:10:36.000 Yeah, thank you, Anthony.

00:10:39.000 Are you ready to drop up to 20 pounds or more by the new year?

00:12:07.000 Someone pointed out, John emailed, and he pointed out, I think in regards to who's going to work a lot of jobs, we have a lot of underemployed people in America.

00:12:16.000 He says, remember the forgotten men and women, the U6 unemployment number.

00:12:20.000 That's not just the big in-the-news unemployment.

00:12:22.000 It's people who are discouraged, so they're not looking.

00:12:25.000 And it's people who are stuck in part-time when they want to be full-time.

00:12:28.000 And there's 14 million Americans in that pool of people.

00:12:32.000 That's a lot of jobs that could be filled by Americans, not by people imported to undercut wages from abroad.

00:12:39.000 I was going to say, that sounds like 14 million people who should get out of the country to make way for the 14 million people who want to be full-time employees.

00:12:49.000 Don't do that.

00:12:51.000 The math works.

00:12:52.000 Don't do that neocons.

00:12:53.000 Keep emailing us if you guys are great replacement.

00:12:56.000 Joe Bob, great replacement director.

00:12:58.000 All right.

00:12:58.000 Our next caller is Brandon.

00:13:02.000 Brandon, are you there?

00:13:03.000 Unmute yourself and what's your question?

00:13:05.000 Good morning, guys.

00:13:06.000 My question is about the AmFest schedule.

00:13:09.000 So it's obviously out, but I am not seeing any member exclusive events on there yet.

00:13:17.000 I was wondering, you know, if there will be any and when can we expect to see them?

00:13:22.000 Yeah.

00:13:23.000 Yeah.

00:13:23.000 Great question.

00:13:24.000 Thank you, Brandon.

00:13:25.000 Yeah, so we are.

00:13:27.000 The answer is yes.

00:13:29.000 We are going to announce it soon.

00:13:30.000 For those of you who are listening at AmFest, every single year, we have a members-only lounge where you can see exclusive content, which is almost, it's a smaller room, more intimate.

00:13:39.000 You get to see the speaker on.

00:13:41.000 There's usually a QA.

00:13:42.000 There's a QA with members only, so they can ask these speakers questions.

00:13:46.000 We've had the biggest names in the past come through.

00:13:50.000 But also, we're finalizing the schedule.

00:13:52.000 There's still room for more interviews.

00:13:53.000 So these are ones that are posted.

00:13:55.000 So if you guys actually want to see some of the speakers at Amfest on our show, we would love your feedback.

00:14:01.000 So if you want to email us, Freedom at Charlie Kirk.

00:14:03.000 You're really excited.

00:14:04.000 Yeah, we have Ben Shapiro, Russell Brand, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, Erica Kirk, Megan Kelly, Steve Bannon, Rob Schneider, Vivek, James O'Keefe.

00:14:14.000 There are so many people.

00:14:15.000 Just look on the website, guys.

00:14:16.000 Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com who you want to see.

00:14:19.000 But the answer, Brandon, is yes, we will.

00:14:22.000 Just getting still getting finalized.

00:14:23.000 It's still getting finalized.

00:14:24.000 But, Brandon, is there someone specifically that you want to see?

00:14:28.000 I would like to see Matt Walsh, honestly, because last year I saw, you know, Riley Gaines, Trump Jr., and a bunch of people.

00:14:34.000 But yeah, I would like to see Matt Walsh and Allie Stuckey.

00:14:37.000 I think.

00:14:38.000 I think she's coming too.

00:14:39.000 I'd like to see her.

00:14:40.000 They're both great.

00:14:41.000 Those are two great ideas.

00:14:42.000 Love it.

00:14:43.000 All right.

00:14:44.000 All righty.

00:14:44.000 So our next guy is this Devin.

00:14:47.000 Devin, are you there?

00:14:48.000 Unmute yourself and what's your question?

00:14:50.000 Hi, can you guys hear me all right?

00:14:51.000 Yes, we can.

00:14:52.000 Welcome.

00:14:54.000 Hi.

00:14:54.000 So I live in Indiana.

00:14:56.000 And yeah, I was really disappointed with the vote.

00:14:59.000 So I saw that Tyler posted full-time positions for people to work for TP Action in Indiana.

00:15:06.000 Are there options for people who can instead do part-time volunteer work for that?

00:15:12.000 There certainly will be.

00:15:13.000 The most obvious one is if you're in or near one of those races, and Indiana is not that big a state, you should be pretty close.

00:15:19.000 There will be a person who's going to be campaigning in that primary.

00:15:22.000 Contact that campaign and say, I'm ready to knock on doors.

00:15:26.000 I'm ready to help with events.

00:15:28.000 I am ready to help with your get out the vote.

00:15:30.000 And this is one of those really high-impact things.

00:15:32.000 We love to point this out.

00:15:34.000 The impact of one individual volunteer on a presidential race is low because a lot of people vote in a presidential race.

00:15:40.000 The number of people who are voting in your party primary for a state Senate race in May, that's going to be lower.

00:15:49.000 Your impact as an individual can be that much greater if you're going out, talking to people, knocking on doors, raising awareness, even just whipping your friends in your church or in your workplace or in your social circle to vote.

00:16:02.000 If you turn out five voters, much bigger impact in a primary than in a general election.

00:16:08.000 When you could also probably almost guarantee you that the squishy Republicans that are getting primarily will not have the same fervor on their side.

00:16:15.000 Yeah.

00:16:15.000 So again, same concept of, you know, you've got one side who's very, very whip up volunteers.

00:16:21.000 Yeah, we got two Democrats back in Congress to defend that, go to war for that.

00:16:27.000 I don't think they're going to have that many excited people.

00:16:30.000 No, not at all.

00:16:31.000 Yeah.

00:16:34.000 We're going to hold these people accountable.

00:16:36.000 What did we call them earlier?

00:16:37.000 The nasty 21.

00:16:38.000 The terrible 21.

00:16:40.000 That's got the alliteration.

00:16:41.000 Yeah.

00:16:42.000 Terrorism.

00:16:42.000 Audrey 21.

00:16:44.000 Twisted 21. 0.96

00:16:45.000 Twisted 21.

00:16:46.000 There they are.

00:16:47.000 Shame on them.

00:16:48.000 Yeah.

00:16:49.000 How else?

00:16:50.000 Anyone else Devin could get involved?

00:16:52.000 Yeah, there's always updates on the Turning Point Action website on the app or just following Tyler.

00:16:59.000 Tyler's ex is actually great for this because he's literally going off on whatever he's doing since this whole thing happened.

00:17:06.000 Yeah, he's great.

00:17:08.000 It's a great follow.

00:17:09.000 And then follow the candidates.

00:17:10.000 Just get immersed.

00:17:11.000 When you are aware of what's going on, these opportunities will pop up quite organically, I believe.

00:17:18.000 This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner of YReFi.

00:17:23.000 It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.

00:17:28.000 His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.

00:17:34.000 Now, here Charlie, in his own words, tell you about why ReFi.

00:18:27.000 We've got a question from David next.

00:18:29.000 David, unmute thyself and present thy question.

00:18:33.000 How are we doing today?

00:18:34.000 We're doing what you guys are doing.

00:18:36.000 We're doing great.

00:18:37.000 Other than the Indiana thing, we're annoyed about that.

00:18:39.000 But we have to be happy warriors.

00:18:41.000 Charlie would tell us to be.

00:18:43.000 I wanted to, my question is similar to the guy that spoke earlier about going back and voting for Democrats.

00:18:53.000 How do we make people more aware of the bad policies that Democrats have against the public?

00:19:02.000 You know, for instance, for example, men and women's sports, abortion, and my one that I hate the most is paying for illegals.

00:19:15.000 Well, the first step is to be informed yourself, and you can just do that. 0.85

00:19:19.000 You can follow this program.

00:19:20.000 We try to highlight that.

00:19:21.000 You can follow.

00:19:22.000 X is great.

00:19:23.000 You follow guys like Chris Ruffo, who's often doing reports on this sort of thing.

00:19:28.000 If you can find these good conservative sources who are able to generate detailed information about what's going on, as a great example, this entire Somali story in Minnesota, that's a product of, it was local blogging at Powerline Blog.

00:19:42.000 I love to tout those guys.

00:19:44.000 And then Chris Rufo and his colleague, I think Ryan Thorpe was his name, they did a national story on it. 1.00

00:19:51.000 And they got into the weeds on it where they said, here are these specific welfare programs that are being defrauded by this immigrant community. 1.00

00:20:02.000 And if you are aware of that, you can share this with other people.

00:20:07.000 Honestly, what's frustrating is the biggest problem I've seen over the years in describing insane things the left does is what they do is so insane.

00:20:14.000 People just assume you're making it up.

00:20:16.000 That was a huge problem with the transgender thing.

00:20:18.000 You're saying, yeah, they're saying men are actually women and they want them in sports and in your bathroom and in your locker rooms and they want them to hang out with your middle school girls. 0.96

00:20:26.000 And you really needed hundreds of examples of this happening before they'd believe you.

00:20:31.000 And they still don't believe you on some things, like that in Oregon or California, you can lose custody of your kids if you don't want to go along with this. 0.92

00:20:38.000 They can secretly trans your kid at school. 0.90

00:20:41.000 It's, I don't know if you have a thought on this, Job.

00:20:44.000 I genuinely have a hard time with the, it's so crazy they don't believe you.

00:20:49.000 That's, yes, a difficult problem to solve. 0.87

00:20:53.000 I'm going to give you a ridiculous piece of advice that I don't even necessarily know that I would take.

00:20:58.000 Well, I do it, but I don't know that you should necessarily take. 0.74

00:21:01.000 When I'm engaging with just people in the public, I always ask leading questions from like a, you know, I don't ask, do you go to church?

00:21:11.000 I ask, which church do you go to?

00:21:12.000 And put them on the spot of saying yes or no to things.

00:21:15.000 Sometimes if I'm in a crowded elevator, I'll just randomly spread out.

00:21:18.000 We're all Republicans in here, right?

00:21:20.000 And put that, just put that out there.

00:21:22.000 I recognize that.

00:21:23.000 That's not the ground swell, like, you know, knocking doors, hanging flyers, doing all that sort of stuff.

00:21:30.000 But I think it's the everyday little things that actually matter a ton to kind of mobilize people to get involved.

00:21:36.000 And if you do it in a way that kind of is like, well, it's obvious.

00:21:40.000 Yeah, of course we're all Republicans, right?

00:21:40.000 Of course.

00:21:42.000 Of course we all want these things that really, if you look at the polling, everybody does want.

00:21:42.000 Of course we're all conservatives.

00:21:47.000 Then I think the average person who is not necessarily politically engaged will at the very least question, hold on, should I be?

00:21:55.000 This feels like this guy was so adamant about it.

00:21:59.000 I'm out of place because I'm not engaged.

00:21:59.000 I feel weird.

00:22:02.000 And I don't know if that entirely answers the question or if it gives you a very odd way of going about doing it.

00:22:08.000 But I don't know.

00:22:10.000 You have to be forthright.

00:22:12.000 You have to be proud and you have to be informed.

00:22:14.000 And it's very, it's tough because it is a big struggle.

00:22:20.000 But what is great is when we do talk about these things, they do sometimes have to admit it.

00:22:24.000 One of the most amazing things was after Rufo and the City Journal came out with their article on the Somali fraud. 0.82

00:22:31.000 You know who else came out with an article on it? 0.95

00:22:33.000 The New York Times.

00:22:34.000 The New York Times.

00:22:34.000 The New York Times had to come out.

00:22:36.000 And in a New York Times article, this is the nerve center for liberal elite.

00:22:43.000 D.C., New York, Bay Area.

00:22:46.000 They all read the New York Times. 1.00

00:22:47.000 And the New York Times is telling them, yeah, guys, Somalis are massively defrauding all these programs. 1.00

00:22:54.000 And Tim Walz knew about it and didn't do anything about it because they knew these were a good Democrat voting bloc. 1.00

00:23:01.000 It's a stunning story to read.

00:23:03.000 And honestly, if they don't believe you, if they don't believe the Charlie Kirk show, if they don't believe conservative people on X, they might believe the New York Times.

00:23:13.000 You might be surprised what they'll admit buried deep in the pages of liberal newspapers. 0.65

00:23:18.000 It's like some of the best articles about why affirmative action is a disaster.

00:23:22.000 LA Times, the LA Times once did a very long series on there was affirmative action at a Los Angeles hospital.

00:23:29.000 And it was named after MLK.

00:23:31.000 The locals called it Killer King because they hired based on race.

00:23:31.000 They nicknamed it.

00:23:36.000 And so they weren't hiring the best people.

00:23:37.000 And so all their patients started dying.

00:23:39.000 And so people would beg, don't take me to that hospital.

00:23:42.000 Me to the other hospital, even if it's farther away.

00:23:44.000 There's no substitute for being informed, and I would just encourage you to read so much like Charlie would read every day, really devour knowledge, facts, and you will make yourself prepared for battle.

00:23:59.000 And that's one of the first steps towards waking people up, I feel.

00:24:04.000 Yeah, well, thank you.

00:24:06.000 Thank you, David.

00:24:07.000 Thank you, David.

00:24:08.000 Our next one, I believe, our next Renny.

00:24:11.000 Is it Renny?

00:24:13.000 It's Rainy.

00:24:14.000 Rainy.

00:24:15.000 We're sorry.

00:24:16.000 I apologize.

00:24:17.000 I am an imperfect. 0.64

00:24:18.000 It looks like Rennie, so I'm good. 0.97

00:24:18.000 That's okay. 0.97

00:24:20.000 From Montana?

00:24:22.000 No, from Louisiana.

00:24:23.000 Oh, never mind.

00:24:24.000 You thought that was a Montana?

00:24:24.000 Sorry.

00:24:26.000 No, There's somebody who emails the Turning Point Tonight show that has the same name, same spelling, and I've been curious about it.

00:24:32.000 All right, what's your question, Rainy?

00:24:34.000 What's your question?

00:24:35.000 Well, I just wanted to say thank you to you guys for continuing the legacy of Charlie.

00:24:40.000 Before his death, he impacted me so much.

00:24:44.000 I'm a teacher, and I really wanted to get into education and make education great again.

00:24:50.000 So before his death, he inspired me to do that.

00:24:54.000 After his death, I cannot tell you how much his death impacted me.

00:25:01.000 And I switched just like Blake, you were saying about devouring any book, any ideas.

00:25:10.000 I re-watched his debates and I really got into the Bible.

00:25:15.000 I was one of the 65% of the Bible that 65% of Bible sales went up.

00:25:23.000 And I was one of them because I wanted to see what he was, what he was talking about.

00:25:29.000 And I have devoured it.

00:25:30.000 I went on to Proclaim 365, Erica's company.

00:25:37.000 And I wanted to know, will she continue?

00:25:41.000 I know she's got a lot on her plate besides all of this nonsense on the internet, but as CEO of Turning Point, will she continue that in 2026?

00:25:52.000 Because Charlie said, let's make Kevin crowded.

00:25:55.000 And I have been evangelizing since his death because he affected me so much.

00:26:00.000 And I've got a small group of people, and we want to use Proclaim 365 and go into the new year and really devour and get into the Bible and learn from both Erica and Pastor Cadiz.

00:26:16.000 No, I just wanted to see if that will continue because she is just inspiring me so much as well.

00:26:27.000 Well, first of all, God bless you.

00:26:29.000 We love those testimonies of how Charlie affected people.

00:26:31.000 God bless you for getting into the Bible and really using Charlie's life as an inspiration to change your own.

00:26:40.000 And we love every testimony to that.

00:26:42.000 I still think about that couple that had a baby just before they would have, it would have been too late because Charlie inspired them.

00:26:47.000 Love stories like that.

00:26:48.000 The answer to your question is yes.

00:26:51.000 It starts on January 5th, I am told by Daisy.

00:26:54.000 We're going to have another year of Bible and 365.

00:26:58.000 Yeah, read the Bible in a year.

00:27:00.000 Awesome.

00:27:01.000 Yeah, and there's also a big presence at America Fest 2.

00:27:05.000 Rainey, I don't know if you're going to be there, but I know that Pastor James Cadiz will be there representing Bible 365.

00:27:13.000 And he'll be, you know, doing a breakout session, a live QA with a couple of speakers.

00:27:19.000 And he's been a huge help to Erica for this entire program.

00:27:22.000 But the answer is yes.

00:27:24.000 It will continue.

00:27:25.000 And will that be live streamed on Rumble, the America Fest?

00:27:25.000 Wonderful.

00:27:30.000 Yeah, America Fest will be live streamed.

00:27:32.000 It's going to be on Rumbleandpusa.com.

00:27:34.000 So if you're not going to be there, you definitely have to tune in Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday next week.

00:27:40.000 I can't believe it.

00:27:41.000 It's a week away.

00:27:42.000 And did we drop the website?

00:27:44.000 TPOSA.com.

00:27:46.000 And also for Proclaim365, that is the numbers.

00:27:49.000 So a three, a six, and a five.com slash BibleIN365.

00:27:54.000 Again, the numbers, don't write it out.

00:27:57.000 So check that out.

00:27:58.000 It comes out on January 5th.

00:28:00.000 We're all looking forward to that.

00:28:02.000 Thanks so much.

00:28:03.000 Thank you so much.

00:28:04.000 All right.

00:28:05.000 Our next question is from Kitten. 0.98

00:28:08.000 Unmute yourself.

00:28:10.000 Hello.

00:28:11.000 Hello.

00:28:12.000 Welcome.

00:28:12.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:28:13.000 I can't believe I'm at.

00:28:15.000 You guys are doing so good.

00:28:18.000 You're doing such a great job.

00:28:20.000 I know that Charlie is proud of you.

00:28:22.000 So anyway, two questions.

00:28:24.000 And I will be there.

00:28:25.000 This will be my third year coming to Amfest.

00:28:28.000 Awesome.

00:28:29.000 Yeah.

00:28:30.000 Yeah.

00:28:31.000 So I haven't heard anything about the February 8th event.

00:28:35.000 Is that still on?

00:28:36.000 And I did hear Andrew say something about Amfest 2026 tickets are already on sale.

00:28:44.000 How do we get those?

00:28:45.000 All right.

00:28:46.000 Those are my two.

00:28:46.000 I think you know the most about the halftime show.

00:28:48.000 I don't.

00:28:48.000 Yeah.

00:28:49.000 The halftime show is still happening.

00:28:51.000 That's a yes.

00:28:52.000 I think we had a lot of things in front of it.

00:28:54.000 There's a lot.

00:28:55.000 Yeah, there's just we're we're we're all over the place.

00:28:58.000 But our hair would be on fire if I had any.

00:29:01.000 Yes.

00:29:02.000 Well, you did, and then it caught fire and now you don't.

00:29:04.000 Oh, that's fair.

00:29:05.000 That's what it was.

00:29:06.000 But yeah, great question.

00:29:08.000 It will still happen.

00:29:09.000 The halftime show is still happening.

00:29:11.000 We're planning some really exciting things we're going to announce after Amfest and coming into the new year.

00:29:16.000 But Amfest tickets 2026.

00:29:20.000 I don't know if those are fully on sale yet, but I do know that we've put out the interest link.

00:29:25.000 And I know there's like, if you pre-order, if you tried to get for this one, you could get a discount for next year.

00:31:10.000 Well, these are two entirely separate things, Mikey.

00:31:12.000 Nobody knows exactly.

00:31:13.000 You didn't say you were going to talk about this.

00:31:16.000 Well, come find us at Amfest.

00:31:18.000 We want to meet you guys.

00:31:18.000 We want to see you guys.

00:31:19.000 Kitten, we would love to meet you.

00:31:21.000 Thank you for participating.

00:31:22.000 And we can announce the winner.

00:31:24.000 Okay.

00:31:24.000 We can announce the American Fest tickets.

00:31:26.000 We'll do that then.

00:31:27.000 Thank you for everyone who sent in a request.

00:31:29.000 I don't know who won, actually.

00:31:30.000 Mikey, tell me who it is.

00:31:31.000 Yep.

00:31:32.000 So we randomized all the emails, the influx of emails that you guys sent, and we're giving away two AmericaFest tickets.

00:31:40.000 And the winner is Lee and JJ Haley.

00:31:45.000 I'm bringing my college-age son to AmericaFest, and I would love to come with him.

00:31:51.000 If you have an extra adult ticket for me and my 16-year-old son, we would love to attend AmericaFest.

00:31:56.000 There you go.

00:31:57.000 That's the winner.

00:31:58.000 And there may or may not be a couple more giveaways in the next couple of days.

00:32:02.000 We do love a good Christmas holiday.

00:32:03.000 Let's hope they're close.

00:32:06.000 I hate the idea of someone just booking a flight from Maine one day before.

00:32:09.000 But if you're willing to do it, go for it.

00:32:12.000 This is a very sought-after ticket.

00:32:12.000 Your money.

00:32:14.000 That is true.

00:32:15.000 This is a very sought-after ticket.

00:32:16.000 You'd fly across the country for the Super Bowl, so why not for the Super Bowl turning point?

00:32:20.000 Yeah, no, I'm selling ourselves short. 1.00

00:32:22.000 I'm an idiot. 1.00

00:32:23.000 No. 1.00

00:32:23.000 Yes, we're going to keep doing Christmas giveaways coming up in this next week at America Fest. 1.00

00:32:29.000 And grateful for you guys.

00:32:30.000 And who was it again?

00:32:30.000 Yes.

00:32:32.000 It was JJ Haley.

00:32:34.000 All right.

00:32:34.000 So do they need to email?

00:32:36.000 No, we're reaching out.

00:32:36.000 Are we going to reach out to them?

00:32:37.000 All right.

00:32:38.000 Excellent.

00:32:39.000 Awesome.

00:32:40.000 All right.

00:32:41.000 We have one last question.

00:32:42.000 We have Joe.

00:32:44.000 Unmute yourself.

00:32:44.000 Are you there, Joe?

00:32:45.000 Oh, he just left.

00:32:47.000 No.

00:32:48.000 All right.

00:32:48.000 Just left the room, but we still have his question.

00:32:51.000 He has, when will you guys discuss the issue with Wall Street firms like BlackRock buying single-family homes with baby boomer pension money, artificially preventing the housing market from correcting so young people can actually afford to buy a gosh darned house?

00:33:09.000 Charlie briefly mentioned this.

00:33:11.000 I'm not sure if that was part of the question or if it was Daisy pointing it out, but he says, when are we going to talk about this?

00:33:15.000 And the answer is, we have definitely spoken about it.

00:33:19.000 Charlie, especially, he is either he or Daisy was correct.

00:33:22.000 Charlie himself did talk about this.

00:33:24.000 In fact, we have a great bit where he was with Gavin Newsom on the very first episode of his podcast.

00:33:30.000 Let's do clip 343.

00:33:32.000 Look, the number one thing, which I know you're going to agree with, and I'm sure you'll have a super slick response, right?

00:33:36.000 That's about half true.

00:33:38.000 But which is the cost of housing.

00:33:41.000 Average home in California, $850,000.

00:33:43.000 I like what you said about BlackRock.

00:33:46.000 So, yeah, I mean, I...

00:33:46.000 But that was interesting to me.

00:33:48.000 I think that is, but again, that's not a majority of house purchasing.

00:33:50.000 About one in four houses are bought by private equity.

00:33:53.000 Would you agree to say that BlackRock should not be able to own homes in California?

00:33:56.000 I think, and then turning around and renting.

00:33:58.000 It's insane.

00:33:59.000 This is a huge problem.

00:34:00.000 You should have a bill in the California state house.

00:34:03.000 We've had one.

00:34:04.000 It didn't get very far last year.

00:34:05.000 And there's more conversations around that.

00:34:06.000 $10 trillion fund shouldn't be able to come in this house.

00:34:08.000 It's not just BlackRock specifically.

00:34:10.000 I mean, what's happening in this space?

00:34:12.000 Mass asset managers that have $50 billion asset under management are now competing against our college grad from Cal State Fullerton.

00:34:22.000 And we have one more.

00:34:23.000 I just love it when we have these charlotte clips that are very topical.

00:34:26.000 So this is when he was on Fox and Friends.

00:34:27.000 I believe last summer.

00:34:28.000 Let's do Clip 342.

00:34:31.000 One out of four of all home purchases in the last year were out of these firms like BlackRock that come in, and they are actually bidding out first-time homebuyers and younger Americans that want to be able to have their slice of the American dream.

00:34:45.000 And young people know about that.

00:34:47.000 They know about it and they talk about it. 0.82

00:34:48.000 In fact, when I do my campus tours, time after time they say, Charlie, when are we going to stop BlackRock from being able to come in and purchase homes in our communities? 0.91

00:34:56.000 You know, I'm from Arizona.

00:34:57.000 I think it's wrong that a first-time homebuyer in Chandler or Mesa or Gilbert that's just scrapping together enough money that they can has to compete against a $10 trillion private equity fund.

00:35:09.000 And so I think these are some prudent decisions that we can make.

00:35:11.000 We need to increase the supply.

00:35:13.000 President Trump is exactly right about lowering interest rates.

00:35:16.000 That's going to unleash a lot of capital and we have a higher incentive to build homes.

00:35:20.000 So I think that last part really is, we're going to keep talking about it.

00:35:23.000 But that last part, you don't just want to complain.

00:35:26.000 You want to focus on solutions.

00:35:27.000 Charlie talked about a moonshot for housing.

00:35:31.000 And what he meant by that is we should treat it as a national goal.

00:35:34.000 Build a ton of homes.

00:35:36.000 Just overwhelm the system.

00:35:38.000 No private equity fund can prop up the price of housing to be super high if there's just more homes than there are people to live in them.

00:35:45.000 Housing is cheap in countries that have a surplus of homes.

00:35:47.000 So if we're building a million homes ringed around Phoenix, home prices here are going to go down.

00:35:52.000 Yeah, there was this clip that I found.

00:35:54.000 It's a little too late to play it, but it's where Charlie's doing a prove me wrong.

00:35:58.000 And this one student comes up and asks him, you know, how can we make it easier for young people to be able to afford homes?

00:36:03.000 And Charlie puts BlackRock and private equity firms on blast, basically saying we need to make it affordable for young people.

00:36:09.000 And these private equity firms can't just be buying these up to rent them out for, you know, investments and also Airbnbs, et cetera.

00:36:17.000 And the student goes, yeah, yeah, I agree with you.

00:36:21.000 And so he's so obviously a liberal, but this is Charlie.

00:36:24.000 Like, he totally understood young people and their struggles and their needs.

00:36:27.000 And he used to always say this thing.

00:36:29.000 He would say, when was the last time you washed a rental car after you returned it?

00:36:33.000 Yeah.

00:36:34.000 And the answer is always never because you don't care and you don't have interest or you're not invested in something that you rent.

00:36:43.000 And that's the biggest thing to emphasize here.

00:36:45.000 It's not that, you know, just not that free enterprise is bad, but we have to recognize ownership is good.

00:36:51.000 He talks about that Mamdaniism or MAGA.

00:36:53.000 And when you have a direct stake in society, when you own something, you are innately more conservative.

00:36:59.000 That's why we need laws.

00:37:00.000 You can just have laws that incentivize personal ownership.

00:37:02.000 You could tax large owners a little bit more.

00:37:05.000 You could restrict foreign cash buyers.

00:37:08.000 And you can just build more homes.

00:37:09.000 When the price is lower, more people will buy it.

00:37:11.000 Joe Bob.

00:37:12.000 Go look into the Bozeman metropolitan area.

00:37:14.000 They built a ton of housing and rent is down, actually.

00:37:19.000 Really interesting.

00:37:20.000 I know it's very, very small example set, but yeah, building more housing works.

00:37:25.000 The rules of economics remain.

00:37:26.000 Wow.

00:37:26.000 Supply and demand.

00:37:27.000 They're worth knowing.

00:37:28.000 There's probably a Hillsdale College course on that as well.
