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.
00:02:55.000I thought it was so interesting when that, when it was kind of made aware, Stop in the Name of God, kind of the idea of honoring the Sabbath.
00:03:02.000I went back and looked at a couple text messages with me and Mikey where I sent him videos and it's like, hey, can I send this along to Charlie?
00:03:09.000And he said, yeah, but he's on Sabbath.
00:03:11.000And this is two years ago that he's been doing this, that he was doing it.
00:03:15.000It was very like prominent in his life, not necessarily known to the entire world, but like even then, kind of in private chats, it's like, yeah, you can.
00:03:24.000You're not going to see it for another day.
00:03:28.000It was like, and he would always say too, you know, the punishment for missing the Sabbath is because it was actually a gift that was just waiting for you to receive it.
00:03:37.000And by not doing it, by not honoring it, you were missing out on the gift.
00:03:51.000And You could see, and he would talk about this all the time, how he would be even more exhausted if he didn't get a full Sabbath.
00:04:00.000But he looked forward to that day every single, every week.
00:04:03.000Well, so another Charlie thing, besides that book, he always said he wanted to put a Turning Point USA chapter and later a Club America chapter in 30,000 high schools across the U.S., which shows two things.
00:04:53.000Well, I'm here in Nashville, Tennessee, in the state's capital.
00:04:57.000We just had a big announcement with Governor Bill Lee and Senator Marsha Blackburn and partnership to put a Club America chapter in every single high school in the state of Tennessee.
00:05:10.000How many states does that bring us to, Nick, where states have made that announcement?
00:05:15.000Well, Mikey, it all started with the amazing former superintendent Ryan Walters in Oklahoma putting out a declaration of support for Club America chapters.
00:05:23.000From there, we went into Florida with Governor DeSantis.
00:05:27.000And then we just wrapped up on Monday, our announcement with Governor Greg Abbott in the state of Texas.
00:05:33.000Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, as you know, committed a million dollars to TPUSA and Club America.
00:05:39.000And so we just finished our partnership there.
00:05:41.000And today, Tennessee makes number three or number four.
00:06:58.000And we want these to be vehicles for a lot of different things.
00:07:02.000It can be for discussing philosophical issues, for getting engaged at the grassroots level, for just normal community involvement, running a Bible study.
00:07:11.000It's really, it runs the gamut what you can do with this if you're an engaged student.
00:07:16.000And if you have any good stories, email us, freedom at Charlie Kirk.
00:07:19.000We love hearing stories about the success of our chapters, things they've been able to do.
00:07:24.000Nick, one of the things, oh, well, one of the videos that came up in my feed the other day was Charlie talking about how little his high school did on the founding and the founders and the brilliance of the founding of the country.
00:07:36.000How much do you think these Club America chapters will kind of infiltrate into the actual curriculum itself?
00:07:42.000Because these are clubs on campus, but I do think there's going to be some more intrinsic value into the actual education.
00:07:50.000I think teachers would probably be more likely to be able to talk about the founding a little bit more, even beyond what the curriculum might already be.
00:08:26.000And they're bringing in speakers like Riley Gaines, who is at our event today for this announcement to learn how to stand up for girls, for girls' sports, and a wide range of issues.
00:08:39.000So I think through the leadership of our students, they're going to change the culture on their high school campus.
00:08:46.000There are already turning point alums who have become members of Congress.
00:08:51.000I don't think Club America is not old enough.
00:08:53.000They cannot legally run for Congress yet.
00:08:55.000But we have crazy stories of business leaders coming to us and just begging us to get access to the student pool that we have across the U.S., both in high school and college.
00:09:04.000But there's stories of students in high school graduating and immediately getting a high-paying job.
00:09:13.000Future leaders, you can learn running an organization in your high school for real, not the fake ones that people found so they can look good on a college application.
00:09:56.000I do want to say I hope that we can see more come from states like Montana and Idaho and Iowa and maybe even my home state of Ohio.
00:10:05.000But we're going to be working with anyone and everyone we can at the state level to simply say, hey, we have the students back and we support their right to free speech and to form a club.
00:10:42.000For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines fighting for our God-given rights of freedom while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks.
00:10:54.000Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in simply by switching to Patriot Mobile.
00:11:37.000It says, Joe Bob in the daylight, I thought he was only a nighttime vampire.
00:11:41.000I think they might be referring to the show Turning Point Tonight, which airs at 10 p.m. Eastern on Real America's Voices, which I usually do.
00:13:23.000Speaking of, we'll give away two Amfest tickets on the show today.
00:13:26.000If you email us, freedom at CharlieKirk.com and you have interest in coming, I know we're sold out, but let's give out two on the show today.
00:13:42.000I have several friends who have now not necessarily come out of the woodwork, but in the last couple of weeks, be like, hey, how do I get tickets to Amfest?
00:13:50.000Tell me to email freedom at Charlie Kirk.
00:13:52.000That is literally the only way you can do it because I kind of text back or say back laughingly, you can't.
00:14:23.000Might be able to pull it for later on the show, but I effectively was outlining some of the lower percentages of Somali immigrants in other countries, in other words.
00:14:37.000When people criticize Somali foreigners in Western countries, here are a few things to keep in mind.
00:14:44.000In Norway, 27% of Somali-born households do not rely mainly on government assistance.
00:14:51.000In Sweden, 36% of Somali-born adults are either employed or in education.
00:14:57.000In Denmark, 31% of Somali immigrants and their descendants are not on public benefits.
00:15:04.000These are just a couple things to remember during the discussion of whether or not we should let more third-worlders into the United States.
00:16:20.000This is why we need Club America because among other things you can learn through Club of America is how to make good arguments to be America first, to be pro-America, and to do it with sarcasm sadness.
00:18:03.000But one of those people who asked, Jessica says she would love two tickets to Amfest, but she also said something that is very important.
00:18:10.000She wanted us to shout out that she is planning an event with TP Action in Indiana because she says two of the trader state senators in her county didn't vote for a very important bill yesterday.
00:18:26.000We've talked about this a lot on the show.
00:19:21.000Probably one of the worst days and the most embarrassing days Indiana's had since it voted for Obama in the first election.
00:19:28.000And you can see why you have some slippage in the state because you're surrounded by really terrible Republicans who make really terrible decisions.
00:19:38.000The bill that was being produced was a pretty straightforward bill.
00:19:42.000Was to offset the manipulation schemes that are being run by Democrats nationwide in states that are far less deep blue.
00:19:54.000They are hijacking congressional seats.
00:19:58.000And in Indiana, Indiana is one of the unique states that kind of made a mistake last redistricting.
00:20:04.000And they gave two seats to Democrats that many argued were not really justified.
00:20:11.000Indiana is one of the deepest, reddest states in the country, and there are many arguments to be made for a 9-0 Republican map.
00:20:20.000And so naturally, the president's team said, hey, you know, now is the time to go back and redistrict and look at this thing and get us a 9-0 map instead of a 7-2 Republican, 7-Democrat 2 map that currently exists because we need you to step up.
00:22:04.000And there's a couple of people to really point out here that are in deep, deep red.
00:22:08.000Like we're talking 20 to 30 point Trump districts, a couple of them.
00:22:14.000Senator Dernall, or spelled Dernolk with the C at the end.
00:22:19.000Dan Dernall was one of those individuals.
00:22:21.000Greg Good, who is a person that works currently for a U.S. Senator.
00:22:29.000Senator Ryan Mischler was actually in Florida.
00:22:33.000He spent so much time outside of the state that he actually had to, he missed a couple of the votes.
00:22:39.000It misses a lot actually in the state of Indiana because he spends most of his time in the state of Florida instead of being there voting.
00:22:46.000Linda Rogers actually is in our TPSA faith pastor's district that he lives in in Indiana.
00:22:57.000So, I mean, you've got a couple of people here that this isn't one of those things too, because there's a handful of people here that are in, you could argue, swing districts or fairly Republican districts, but a vast majority of these individuals are in districts that are deeply, deeply conservative.
00:23:12.000And it won't be difficult to challenge and get them out of office.
00:23:17.000So we've actually posted jobs already yesterday.
00:23:21.000The moment that they voted, Turning Point Action posted five jobs yesterday on our website, tpaction.com/slash careers.
00:23:29.000We're hiring up people to actually help recruit and hold these guys accountable because their election is on May 5th.
00:23:37.000The primary election for most of these individuals is on May 5th, where we're going to be hopefully getting many of these people out of office.
00:23:45.000Tyler, I think, you know, if we're going to zoom out 30,000 feet here and look at kind of the primary causes as to why some of these squishy Republicans don't want to side with their constituents, but also the president, is some of these people have been in office for 30 years in the Indiana state legislature.
00:24:05.000And so they're concerned of, well, what if I lose my seat that I've kept for 30 years?
00:24:12.000In your opinion, would having kind of term limits in this instance maybe get some of those more squishy people to go, hey, you know, I'm out anyway.
00:24:20.000I might as well do what the do what the people want.
00:24:24.000Yeah, I mean, there's different reasons why people are motivated.
00:24:27.000Sometimes it's you've got like really creepy insider type stuff where there's some kind of lobbyist or some kind of local corporation that's keeping somebody in that's funded their life like all throughout.
00:24:40.000So they're not really beholden to the people or the president or anyone else to beholden to these very specific special interests that are super and hyper local.
00:24:50.000And that's why you see most of these guys in most of these states kind of go against what you would because you look at this situation, right?
00:24:58.000Joe Bobby, you go, how is the U.S. president, the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States more in tune with what the grassroots and what the people of Indiana want than their own state senator that lives around the corner from them.
00:25:10.000And it's truly mind-numbing, but when you start to look introspectively like we're talking about here, and you start to discover, oh, well, there's one or two key lobbyists that have been funding their way of life.
00:25:21.000You know, their state dinners, their, you know, their special events that they get to do, you know, the things that keep them warm and cuddly.
00:25:44.000One guy got up yesterday and actually talked about this.
00:25:47.000You know, this is how mind-blowing it is.
00:25:50.000He talked about the pharmaceutical lobby, and that's the reason why he was voting no.
00:25:54.000Well, you know, that very company that he had brought up had been benefited most greatly by the president of the United States and the work that he had done on behalf and with bringing back a ton of business and a ton of interest for the United States, particularly in the pharmaceuticals area.
00:26:11.000And that's just how mind-blowingly dumb some of these state senators are.
00:26:29.000So you were with him, I think, when he'd meet a lot of the, you know, like, well, for example, when he went to Nebraska and he had to lobby these people.
00:26:36.000Do you have any insight on what's going on with these people?
00:26:39.000Is it just that they're very local in how they view everything?
00:26:42.000I just think they're very weak people in general.
00:26:44.000I'm going to mark these the terrible 21, very shameful.
00:26:55.000No, but in all seriousness, traveling with Charlie, you see all these people, even Nebraska, when we were trying to get that electoral vote there in Omaha, they're just weak and they think they know more about the world because the world is in need of their very small because their world is their state house with their little rivalries, their little grievances, or they're mad.
00:27:15.000Trump didn't, you know, he bashed them on this specific thing.
00:27:22.000And because that is their world, they can refuse to think outside of the box or to think bigger than their small jurisdiction that they're in or be a team player or a coalition builder.
00:27:35.000Like you see this at turning point action, there's so many state senators, there's so many congressmen, there's so many people like this that just refuse to think outside of the jurisdiction of their own mind and local community or what they care about most.
00:27:53.000Yeah, keep in mind, too, a lot of these people are influenced, unfortunately, by the mind control schemes of the former Pence relationship.
00:28:07.000So remember, we knew this was going to play a factor.
00:28:10.000I mean, Mike Pence is looking at his wounds after getting kicked to the curb by MAGA and by the president, by everybody because of the way that he acted after the 2020 election.
00:28:20.000And many of these people kind of had this mental thing where they thought that Mike Pence was going to be president someday.
00:28:28.000And now they're kind of, you know, kind of butthurt over this whole thing of, oh, well, I'm not going to ever help the president ever again because, you know, because Mike Pence isn't going to be president someday.
00:28:39.000To make a bad joke, they're being pence-wise and pound foolish.
00:28:45.000President Trump walked into a catch-22 when taking office.
00:28:48.000Do nothing, and America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future.
00:28:53.000Instead, he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train and buy us some time.
00:28:58.000But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system and experts predict dramatic price increases and market uncertainty.
00:29:06.000Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you.
00:29:12.000And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver.
00:29:16.000Preserve gold is our go-to choice here at the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:29:19.000We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver even inside your retirement accounts like an IRA or 401k.
00:29:27.000Now, here from Charlie in his own words.
00:29:29.000Preserve gold is my go-to choice for all my precious metal needs.
00:29:32.000They are the real deal, and I recommend them to my friends, family, and viewers.
00:29:36.000Get their free wealth protection guide now by texting Charlie to 50-505.
00:29:41.000President Trump is fighting for America's future.
00:29:43.000Now it's your turn to help protect yours.
00:29:48.000We're talking all about Indiana and the great disappointment.
00:29:52.000I was wondering where you're going to go with that.
00:31:39.000It's sort of annoying that we are spending money fighting against other Republicans, but there's just this element where you said playball or we're going to primary you.
00:31:50.000You do have to primary them now or your threats don't hold water.
00:31:53.000And this is the problem, right, that exists is that these guys were so selfish that what was said to them was very clear, which is like, hey, we're going to be successful at primarying you if you do not help us in this battle against Gavin Newsom.
00:32:09.000If, I mean, Gavin Newsom is on the pathway right now to being the nominee for 2028.
00:32:14.000And if Indiana state senators won't step up to challenge the guy who we're going to all be running against in 2028, I mean, they just have no place within this party.
00:32:29.000That's not speaking from Turning Point.
00:32:30.000That's speaking from the grassroots that the vast majority of people agree with that sentiment that are within the Republican Party.
00:32:37.000So our job now has to be to expend resources to follow through with what the majority, the vast majority of people want is to get rid of these people.
00:32:46.000Now, what that means is that resources that otherwise would have been spent to help defend or take ground in Congress and other states now has to be expended in deep red Indiana to hold our own people accountable.
00:33:01.000So we're having to fight not only the Democrats in other states and swing states, which we're doing in Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, and other places.
00:33:08.000We now have to fight our own deep state establishment in Indiana.
00:33:14.000So you're having to fight a two-front battle at this point.
00:33:17.000And unfortunately, that is the way that it is.
00:33:20.000But if they just worked together with people, if they would have just voted yes yesterday, all those resources could have gone into helping the rest of the country, helping lay the foundation to win in 2028.
00:33:32.000Ryan asks if they could revote on this in Indiana.
00:33:36.000I believe technically they could anytime.
00:33:38.000The governor could call the legislature back together and they could do it.
00:33:41.000I doubt they will unless they feel strongly that they have the votes to flip it.
00:33:45.000So the main way you revote on this is you get better senators and they've greatly disappointed us this time, but you could potentially get a better roster for 28 for 2030 and beyond.
00:33:59.000Yeah, primary elections are May 5th in Indiana.
00:34:01.000And so there's only a handful of months left at this point with individuals who will be stepping into the pocket to run against these individuals.
00:34:10.000And then for the general public to become educated enough to vote them out.
00:34:15.000Obviously, it's not, you're never 100%.
00:34:18.000It's probably going to be a combination effort between now and 2026 and then 2028 as well.
00:34:24.000But yeah, I mean, the likelihood with this current legislature in Indiana of getting anything done that's going to help the president is basically they're telling you it's a zero.
00:34:33.000They're not interested in helping the president.
00:34:35.000Kathy, a lifetime Indiana Republican, says, I am furious our senators didn't get this through.
00:34:40.000She says the problem is no one will run against them.
00:34:43.000I jokingly said I should run as a retired teacher, greatly disappointed.
00:34:46.000One, if you feel tempted to run, Kathy, don't let that just die.
00:34:51.000You're a retired teacher, maybe you do have, you might have potential as a candidate.
00:34:56.000But Tyler, she says no one's going to run against them.
00:35:02.000Yeah, there's, we already have pretty much a full slate of people who are good people who want to run against these individuals, many of whom serve on the House side currently.
00:35:12.000So remember, there's a house and there's a senate.
00:35:14.000There's some good candidates that already exist on the house side who are willing to step up and run against these senators.
00:35:23.000And again, we've been in these situations before here in Arizona.
00:35:27.000We ran after Arizona state senators voted for Obamacare and Medicaid expansion way back in the day.
00:35:35.000We went to work against millions of dollars to remove those people from office and all of them were removed from office almost immediately.
00:35:42.000So I do have a belief that a core amount of people in Indiana will do the right thing and get together and vote on their normal primary day to get rid of these people.
00:35:54.000It just, again, it just sucks that you have to spend time and money and resources as outside organizations, as the president's team, instead of focusing on the places that we need to win in order to keep Congress.
00:36:05.000Teller, I would probably say, and pardon me for being the ever optimist.
00:36:11.000But if I were to find a silver lining here, the more that TP Action is successful at primarying a bunch of these squishy Republicans, I feel like the more the message is received elsewhere.
00:36:23.000This is not going to be the only time stuff like this happens around the country.
00:36:27.000But seeing how successful Turning Point Action has been, that's going to reverberate for election cycles to come.
00:36:34.000And I would hope that sooner or later the squishy Republicans get the message, oh, this is actually going to be a bigger problem for me if we don't do what the people want.
