In this episode, we discuss turning point action, inflation numbers, and the upcoming primary election in Arizona. We also answer your questions and have a special guest on the show this week. Thanks to our sponsor, Preserve Gold, the leading gold and precious metals company.
00:00:56.000The 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.
00:02:00.000She actually, she put out a very nice note basically saying that she made this very difficult decision because we didn't want to have inviting on the conservative side and that we need to unite and win.
00:02:52.000Basically, an email after this happened saying that she is now up against Katie's billionaire opponent just dropped out, making Donald Trump and Turning Point Actions handpicked candidate, Andy Biggs, the frontrunner in the Republican primary.
00:03:59.000Charlie talked a lot about God's designs of distinctions, especially male-female.
00:04:05.000And in our overly feminized culture that caters and craters to women's demands for comfort and sensitivity, I've been wondering if there's like a parallel Hopf-inspired quote, but for women and would love maybe your thoughts and ideas on that.
00:05:01.000Where she's talking about the over-feminized culture and basically how we hit a tipping point at some point between 2015 and let's say 2022 in different industries that became majority female.
00:06:27.000It also encourages them to enforce really bad rules on people.
00:06:32.000It's the school marm or the church lady.
00:06:35.000That's the idiom they'll use, even for a woman who hasn't been to church in her entire life or since she was a kid.
00:06:40.000The ones who are showing up to scream at you, to nag you, to say, like, oh, you have to care, you have to have the BLM square.
00:06:49.000You have to support trans kids or the people who are showing up to block ICE cars.
00:06:54.000Those are people who, in a different context, if they were raised with a better script, they might be saying, oh, you can't cheat on your spouse.
00:07:02.000Like, you're living with your mistress.
00:07:07.000That could be really annoying too, but it was for a pro-social, a good thing.
00:07:11.000Whereas now they're activated on an evil thing.
00:07:14.000And so I think if you were going to get the equivalent quote, whatever it is, you'd have to capture that element of things.
00:07:21.000And Charlie, yeah, Charlie also broke down the difference between the macro and the micro, right?
00:07:26.000Women really tend to major on the micro, which would be sort of interpersonal relationships.
00:07:34.000And men tend to think about business deals and negotiations.
00:07:38.000It's not that they don't work both ways or that men oftentimes will fixate on relationships too, but it just in the general, in the larger context, that tends to be more true than not.
00:07:51.000And we'd also talk about how we need to have a proper balance of the masculine and the feminine.
00:07:55.000So a healthy society has a proper balance of masculine and feminine.
00:07:59.000And men are given a role which they can thrive in.
00:08:02.000Women are given a role in which they can thrive.
00:08:03.000And when you get on an unhealthy balance, and this is what Helen Andrews is talking about.
00:08:08.000We have a clip from her if we want to.
00:08:12.000But if you want to put it in a single sentence, you could say that feminization equals wokeness.
00:08:19.000Everything you think of as wokeness is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.
00:08:26.000Think about all the things that wokeness means.
00:08:30.000Valuing empathy over rationality, safety over risk, conformity and cohesion over competition and hierarchy.
00:08:39.000All of these things are privileging the feminine over the masculine.
00:08:43.000So if you have ever wondered why wokeness appeared out of nowhere when it did, that is my hypothesis, that all of the institutions that began admitting women in the 1970s eventually got enough women that they were able to reorient them.
00:08:58.000And as you said, it's balance that matters.
00:09:02.000So those things like empathy over rationality or safety over risk, that's not actually just a bad thing necessarily, but you think of where would be an environment where you would want to, for example, prize cohesion over competition?
00:09:13.000Where would you want inclusion over free speech?
00:09:15.000I can think of an obvious spot in a family.
00:09:19.000In a family, you sometimes have to say, you just need to be quiet because you're upsetting all of your siblings.
00:10:14.000Every day, Americans make choices that shape our country's future, right down to which cell phone provider we support.
00:10:20.000Here's what most people don't realize.
00:10:22.000Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.
00:10:24.000They're an activist organization funded by selling top-tier cell phone service.
00:10:29.000They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long before it was cool to do so, standing in the gap when others wouldn't.
00:10:35.000The best part is they deliver prioritized premium service on all three major U.S. networks, giving you the same or even better coverage, backed by 100% U.S.-based customer support.
00:10:47.000Get unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, and more.
00:10:51.000And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll help grow a movement that fuels the Christian conservative cause.
00:10:56.000Every bill you pay helps advance the values of family, faith, and freedom.
00:11:30.000So my shot is like I was thinking of, you know, Charlie loves scripture.
00:11:34.000He was amazing at it, you know, knowing it.
00:11:35.000And so like when I think of, okay, a great woman, a not so great woman, you've got your Proverbs 31 woman, you know, the noble woman who cares for her family.
00:11:45.000She's business oriented, all those good things.
00:11:47.000And then I think of the 2 Timothy 3 woman who's like very influenced by the evil of the day.
00:11:55.000And it says, like, the evil people gain control over weak-willed women who are loaded down with sins and swayed by evil desires, always learning, but never able to acknowledge the truth.
00:13:36.000So I went to my county's GOP meeting or committee meeting to pick who's running for office for local elections in Congress and state and stuff.
00:13:50.000I'm sorry to use that term, but it's, it's, they, and what I saw is, I asked someone who I know there very well if any of these people will win.
00:13:58.000And the answer I was told was no, because they don't want to change the way they do stuff.
00:14:02.000And they just keep recycling the same style of campaign and whatnot.
00:14:08.000Like the communications person for our thing, they sat on the stage and took photos from behind when people were giving their speeches saying, hey, thank you for picking me to be your nominee.
00:14:41.000So even that, we had to do that one plus because New York State's changed the elections to now everything's on the federal years for every election.
00:14:50.000So like, how do you get the old party to start letting the new party come in the work things to make it better to try to win?
00:14:57.000Yeah, you know, this is a huge problem.
00:14:59.000I've talked about this with Tyler Boyer a lot.
00:15:02.000So if you go to like a local county GOP, you will, you will come, and there's, there's people that have been there for years, like decades.
00:15:12.000And these guys have never missed a meeting.
00:15:14.000They're usually, you know, kind of your gray haireds.
00:15:17.000And this is kind of what they live for.
00:15:20.000And what we've noticed is that when younger people come into these meetings and they feel, I mean, they're a very, it's like high school.
00:15:27.000It's like you got mean girls, you got clicks, you got like, everybody hates one faction versus the other faction.
00:15:35.000A great example is the Nebraska legislature when we were trying to help them.
00:15:40.000And it was just such Charlie was venting about this that you get people who, when you're almost, when you're in a system that has existed, it's like a little closed off from everyone.
00:15:48.000Like who's going into Nebraska politics usually?
00:16:14.000And that can happen at your county GOP level.
00:16:16.000Oh, I'm with this person because I feuded with this person over who was running for county commissioner.
00:16:22.000No, but it's even like who is a treasurer or like, you know, how we're gonna, how we're gonna do like tabling or signups for, I mean, the most petty stuff I've seen at the local GOP level.
00:16:34.000And then young people come in and they feel completely alienated.
00:16:37.000Yeah, that's they don't want anything to do with it because it feels like a completely like different world and it feels unrelated to current events.
00:16:44.000Yeah, that's the biggest thing too that I've seen is young people.
00:16:47.000It's like you brought up the Nebraska thing.
00:17:20.000So they don't realize how insignificant and how irrelevant sort of their little fiefdom is, but yet they're willing to sort of, you know, create a bunch of enemies and dig their heels in on the most irrelevant stuff.
00:17:34.000I also think there's a third faction of the GOP that's being born.
00:17:38.000You have like the old guard and then this new guard, which, you know, like the rhinos and now MAGA.
00:17:44.000And I think there's a third, which is like, it's very interesting.
00:17:47.000It's like the new right people that just don't care anymore and they think everything's rigged and everything's fake and they don't want to vote.
00:18:18.000First of all, you need to make sure people have a belief that things can get better and that your voice matters and that your vote matters.
00:18:32.000We're excited to tell you about Charlie's favorite supplement.
00:18:35.000If you experience brain fog, low energy, frequent illnesses, or if you just wake up stiff and achy every day, you've got to try Strong Cell.
00:18:44.000He frequently talked about it on the show, and he even traveled around the country bringing it with him.
00:18:48.000For Charlie, Strong Cell helped keep his mind sharp and focused for all the debates he was engaged in.
00:18:53.000Strong Cell gives clean, natural energy without jitters, weird spikes, or afternoon crashes.
00:18:58.000It makes you feel like a younger version of yourself.
00:19:01.000People would often ask Charlie, what is Strong Cell exactly?
00:19:04.000Strong Cell uses a proprietary delivery of NADH to make sure it goes straight to your cells to help your mitochondria.
00:19:11.000And since there are cells in every area of your body, then healthier cells equals a healthier you.
00:19:17.000Strong Cell is a nutritional supplement that leverages a remarkable enzyme called NADH.
00:19:22.000Think of it as the power source for every single cell in your body.
00:19:26.000With over 30 trillion cells working for you, imagine how great you could feel when they're all functioning at their very best.
00:19:32.000Unfortunately, as we age, our body's NADH levels naturally decline, leading to all kinds of ailments and health issues linked with poor cellular health.
00:19:40.000Unlike many supplements that simply mix ingredients and hope for the best, Strong Cell has a proprietary delivery system designed to ensure that those ingredients effectively get into your bloodstream where they can truly make a difference.
00:19:53.000This is crucial as many supplements on the market are just pretty packaging with no real benefits.
00:19:58.000Here's the exciting part: you can give Strong Cell a try completely risk-free.
00:20:02.000Thanks to Strong Cell's 90-day money-back guarantee, you can experience this revolutionary product with no worries and no hassles.
00:21:13.000And again, I've talked with Tyler Boyer about this a lot.
00:21:16.000One of the best sort of outgrowths of Turning Point Action, it wasn't necessarily something that we planned, but we have Turning Point Action, for example, in all 10 technical swing states, which includes like Iowa, right?
00:21:28.000Which hasn't really been a true swing state for a while.
00:21:31.000But what we found is that when we go into these places, we get a lot of young people, we get a lot of fresh blood because we have a different brand.
00:21:38.000It's a different kind of, we attract different types of people.
00:21:41.000And then what happens is we end up, you know, inevitably working or partnering with local GOPs, and we then therefore inject all this new blood.
00:21:50.000Now, in a state like New York, which I believe you're in, Anthony, obviously that hasn't been a focus, so we don't have as big of a presence there.
00:21:57.000But just creating an outside group, like kind of having this third-party outside group that's very friendly, very affiliated, but has a whole different energy, a whole different DNA, a different culture.
00:22:08.000That has been a huge injection of new life in a lot of these places.
00:22:13.000Like in Wisconsin, you know, we've got Brett Galaszzewski, who was running TP Action up in Wisconsin.
00:22:19.000He's our enterprise director on Turning Point Action side, but he's like Mr. Wisconsin.
00:22:23.000He has become a lot of those turning point people have then been elected to local GOP roles and they've injected huge new energy there, but some of the old dogs don't like it.
00:22:34.000And so I would constantly get calls from local reporters in Wisconsin being like, the local GLP is very upset at you.
00:22:41.000And they don't like what Turning Point Action is doing.
00:22:45.000And they think we're trying to take things over.
00:23:10.000So maybe you could work with our Turning Point Action people.
00:23:13.000If there's some contested elections, that would be something that we could maybe get behind with our app and our ballot chasing.
00:23:18.000It'd have to be on a volunteer basis because New York is not one of our targets for actual spend, but we can still get the local GOP up and running on the app, ballot chasing data, all those things.
00:24:07.000Um my, my question is, it's kind of a lofty idea, but I figured i'd just throw it out there.
00:24:12.000I was just curious if any high school or college chapters have ever considered um hosting family events.
00:24:20.000I uh have three young kids and you know I'm always looking for ways to get them around good role models, and they love being around big kids too and selfishly, I'd love to be around parents who are maybe a life stage ahead of me, you know, to learn from them, and was just curious if that has ever that, you know, have been been considered before.
00:24:41.000Yeah, so so Tyler Boyer chimed in on the chat and he said, turning point families is what TPUSA Faith should be doing at the chapter level.
00:24:51.000I told them that a long time ago, so so it's actually a good idea because we have, you know, obviously within the C3, which is TPUSA, we have the high schools, which is CLUB America, we have the college vertical, so these are sort of different teams.
00:25:05.000Then we have TPUSA, Faith and Turning Point Academy as well and that's all under the C3.
00:25:12.000A few other things productions, social media, things like that but those are kind of the different areas of focus and I do think that they could do a fam, like family mixers and like barbecue.
00:25:24.000I mean, a lot of this stuff is very chapter based and like what I mean by that is it's very college based.
00:25:28.000So these chapters get together and they do.
00:25:31.000How do we get together with and bring recruit more kids?
00:25:34.000We'll do a, you know, like different events to incorporate more of the campus life and we'll push back against censorship.
00:25:41.000So it's kind of very local based and very local to their own university.
00:25:46.000But I love this idea of getting the families together and we should, we should push that out and make it a thing and Turning Point Faith TPUSA, Faith could, could get behind that.
00:26:15.000Unmute yourself sir, welcome to the show.
00:26:18.000I do have a question for Mikey and then I have a question for y'all, but I'll start with Mikey.
00:26:22.000So I'm a 21 year old living in Oregon and I never went to college.
00:26:27.000I never had plans to go to college and that sounds like that's a similar path that you took.
00:26:31.000I want to know if you have any advice for you know, guys like me coming out of high school that you know want to stay involved and want to be engaged.
00:26:41.000Then, after he answers, I want to hear all of your favorite ninja turtles.
00:26:45.000Mine is Donatello okay yeah, so I always joke that Charlie kind of saved me and indoctrinated me a little bit, because I legitimately.
00:26:57.000He was about to take out three hundred thousand dollars in student loans yeah, yeah and uh, I was supposed to go To college, I had my college plans and everything.
00:27:05.000And then he was like, No, don't go to college, come work for me.
00:27:52.000I'll be the first to arrive, the last to leave.
00:27:54.000There's no amount of hours I'm not willing to spend to figure something out if I don't understand it.
00:28:00.000I'll be the hardest working employee you have.
00:28:03.000And at the end of my gap year, at the end of this year, you can either say that you got this entire year of work out of me and you don't even have to pay me.
00:28:23.000Entrepreneurs, CEOs, business owners, if they see a young, hustling kid like that walk into their office and say something just like that, they will hire you.
00:30:05.000And if you do that, if you are a standout, exceptional, then I'm telling you, to Mikey's point, an entrepreneur will look at you and see themselves in you and want to make you the best thing that you can be and pour into you.
00:31:50.000We do have Brandon, but I also wanted to hit this quick because we talked about marijuana a lot at the top of the show.
00:31:54.000I thought this was a great email we got.
00:31:56.000I'm going to leave her name out of it, but she says, hi, CKS team.
00:31:59.000I don't normally do this, but was inspired to write.
00:32:02.000Thank you for talking on the show about the dangers of marijuana.
00:32:06.000I lived the weed psychosis nightmare myself, and I watched as my boyfriend, who was a heavy user, began to succumb to delusions and erratic behavior.
00:32:15.000I had to get him emergency mental health treatment where he was diagnosed with marijuana-induced bipolar disorder.
00:32:22.000I had to learn how to navigate his paranoia and his rage because he refused to stop using.
00:32:28.000I myself had begun to use weed during this time, and I saw its negative impacts on my motivation, on my emotional regulation, and on my thought processes.
00:33:59.000So my question is if there's anything in the anti-federalist papers or like Constitutional Convention or anything that the Anti-Federalists said that you think if we implemented back then, that it would have been, you know, it would have worked out for us.
00:34:18.000Well, I think we actually did implement.
00:34:21.000So the anti-federalist, for those who are not aware, they're the ones who argued against the Constitution.
00:34:26.000So the Federalists were the ones who said, ratify the Constitution after the convention.
00:34:29.000The anti-federalists generally campaigned against it.
00:34:32.000But as I'm sure you likely know, Brandon, the main thing that they pointed out as a problem was that there was no Bill of Rights in the Constitution as originally drafted.
00:34:42.000And George Mason, for example, campaigned against it because it did not have that.
00:34:46.000And for that, sometimes he's called the father of the Bill of Rights.
00:34:51.000And I think we've very much learned they were correct.
00:34:54.000Sometimes you'll hear people say, oh, the Bill of Rights might have been a mistake because it gave people the idea, oh, the government can do anything that's not explicitly forbidden in the Bill of Rights.
00:35:05.000And I think instead, we've learned over and over that having those explicit protections, they tried to get around what is explicitly banned in the Bill of Rights, but they have at least a very hard time doing it.
00:35:16.000That's repeatedly been our shield against so much overall having explicit freedom of speech, explicit right to bear arms.
00:35:25.000We would 110% have banned guns in this country if we did not have the Second Amendment there awkwardly getting in the way of them doing it.
00:35:59.000They had deeply passionate, vehement, sometimes like come to blows, fist-to-cuffs kind of arguments about the size and scope of the federal government.
00:36:09.000And, you know, Jefferson, notoriously, was of a different mind than George Washington.
00:36:18.000George Washington and Hamilton believed in a lot more centralized power with the federal government, and Jefferson was much more states' rights guy.
00:36:27.000So I totally encourage you to study the founding fathers, the founding generation.
00:36:31.000There's good stuff to be gleaned from both, but to Blake's point, we got a lot of good stuff out of it.
00:36:35.000I'm trying to think of something that wasn't implemented because they wanted the Bill of Rights.
00:37:45.000So and you, by the way, you've seen that specifically with gun laws in countless states, especially blue states that have tried to institute unconstitutional, you know, gun laws and they've been overturned, much to their chagrin.
00:38:00.000And yet there is a tension there, right?
00:38:02.000Like in California, you still can do concealed carry in California, but they make it extraordinarily difficult.
00:38:08.000But it's been saved by the Supreme Court.
00:38:09.000I'm trying to think of something the anti-federalists wanted that wasn't actually included in the Bill of Rights.
00:38:14.000And a warning I'm recalling they did have is they were concerned that the judiciary would be too powerful, that they were saying the Supreme Court could just basically make whatever laws we want.
00:38:23.000And what's funny is we didn't see that for a long time.
00:38:26.000For a long time, there was a lot of restraints.
00:38:28.000And now, really, over the last century or so, we've actually seen that manifestation of the courts being extremely powerful.
00:38:36.000Part of this is just, I think part of it is the Supreme Court that they have those life terms, and that's now turned into you're on the court 40, 45, 50 years.
00:38:47.000But I think it's made all of American politics start to revolve around those Supreme Court dynamics and what you can engineer through the courts.
00:38:54.000And I sometimes wonder if people would be less all-consumed with it if it was something like the Supreme Court was an 18-year term and every president by default would get two nominations to the court.
00:39:05.000So you don't have a majority of the court until you've won three presidential elections in a row.
00:39:09.000And then it doesn't last for half a century due to the quirks of who managed to get nominees.
00:39:15.000And it's something I think about, but it has, frankly, worked out to our benefit.
00:39:19.000Well, and I will tell you that wherever they can exploit a loophole or a power vacuum, connivers and corrupters will find a way to wiggle in there and manipulate it for their own good.
00:39:31.000All right, Mikey, thank you for joining us.
