00:00:22.000You go to tpusa.com and for a gift of any amount, $5, $10, $25 of a year-end gift to Turning Point USA to support our campus work, you get a copy of the college scam.
00:00:31.000Literally go to tpusa.com, give five bucks, give 10 bucks, give $20, give $50, and you get a copy of my book, The College Scam.
00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:42.000It's not even the American economy and the way we could shut down the CCP with our economic power.
00:01:48.000Xi's internal memos show that they believe there's at least 100 million evangelical Christians in China, maybe 150 million evangelical Christians in a church that is brutally persecuted, right?
00:02:03.000There's another, I think, 25 to 50 million underground Catholics.
00:02:07.000So you may have of 1.2 to 1.4 billion people, you've got maybe 200 million.
00:02:14.000China's had a history of the Taiping Rebellion back in the 19th century, started as an evangelical Christian movement.
00:02:22.000The CCP, the emperor, the central governing apparatus of China, the CCP, and the emperors before that always feared one thing more than anything else, and that was the word of the living Christ.
00:02:35.000Somehow, it touches the Chinese people like almost no other, and it's powerful, and they won't back down.
00:02:41.000People have to understand there is more persecution in China to evangelical Christians and Catholics today than in first century Rome, right?
00:03:34.000That the number one victims of it is Lao Beijing, the Chinese people.
00:03:38.000The Chinese people and the Russian people were our great allies in World War II.
00:03:43.000They are still our allies in taking down the World Economic Forum, Davos, right?
00:03:50.000The central control apparatus of the administrative state.
00:03:53.000And Lao Beijing, that's why the number one, the existential threat to the Chinese people is this murderous regime in Beijing.
00:04:01.000And that's why any member in politics, any member in Washington, D.C., that does not try to take down the CCP, and we don't need a huge military to do it.
00:04:11.000What we need to do is economic warfare, economic information and cyber warfare.
00:04:17.000We can take down the Chinese Communist Party.
00:04:19.000And our ally, our ally, is the Chinese people.
00:05:02.000And that is why, by the way, at the root of it is a spiritual warfare because global secular humanism, atheism despises the Judeo-Christian West and the underlying values of the Judeo-Christian West, and they will do everything to destroy it.
00:05:19.000And that's why you're seeing the administrative state that is their partners here in the United States as their partners is trying to destroy Christianity.
00:05:29.000They're trying to eradicate it here in the United States, and that's why we have to stand up for the Judeo-Christian West.
00:05:34.000And that's why the Vatican, in concert with the Democratic Party, fired Father Provon, or tried to fire him on Saturday night, the leader of the pro-left, the leader of the pro-left movement.
00:05:46.000Steve, this is mercantilism by a different name.
00:05:49.000It's the same sort of economic model that was used in the slave trade, which is countries basically doing mass labor arbitrage and then getting fabulously wealthy off the slave labor of different countries.
00:06:03.000The Chinese Communist Party's business model is the British East India Company in reverse.
00:06:17.000Remember, the Chinese Communist Party is fighting a second opium, a third opium war.
00:06:22.000What the British try to do to the Chinese people, which basically make them drug addicts, right, with opium, right now, the CCP with the cartels and quite frankly, TikTok plus fentanyl are the two.
00:08:55.000We only have 45 seconds, rather heady topic, but we have to be very clear that their victory is not inevitable.
00:09:03.000In fact, they're trying to make us surrender and submit because this is what they always say in the backroom deals, all the hedge fund guys.
00:09:47.000What if I told you by going to charliekirk.com and clicking on the pre-born banner, a gift of $28 could save a life?
00:09:56.000Save five babies today for a gift of $140.
00:09:59.000It provides a free ultrasound session for five young women in unplanned pregnancies.
00:10:05.00080% of these women will choose life when they see the ultrasound image of their babies.
00:10:10.000Look, we need the pro-life movement to not just be pro-life politically, but to give financially to be able to save lives of people that are considering to make the mistake of abortion.
00:12:33.000And she went with us and we went and we put the letter together and collaborated via messages back and forth.
00:12:41.000What we did is we decided that we all wanted to go together and do this at the same time, make sure that people know that our grassroots are, we are listening to our grassroots in our state.
00:12:53.000I did not sign the original letter for Ronna McDaniel like the other two in my state did.
00:12:59.000But I thought I wanted to see, first of all, who was running before I even signed on to anybody.
00:13:05.000So I held my powder dry a little bit there and hung on and then decided that after I had done some due diligence on Hermit, and I want everybody to know, first and foremost, go to her website and see when she says on her website, she says why I'm running.
00:14:53.000But there are three of us in every state.
00:14:55.000And our national committee man, J.L. Spray, immediately signed on to support Rana.
00:15:02.000So what the heck is the argument to support a loser?
00:15:06.000Well, when you're part of what I call the establishment, old guard, that's who they vote for.
00:15:14.000So in Nebraska on July 9th, a Saturday, we had our state convention.
00:15:20.000I was one of the delegates that was decredentialed.
00:15:25.000They weren't even going by the Constitution in Nebraska.
00:15:28.000Today, I'm happy to say that everyone that runs the NEGOP are born-again Christians.
00:15:36.000They pray about everything they do there.
00:15:38.000And we run by the Constitution, just like we do in Lancaster County.
00:15:43.000Well, I'll just tell you, Charlie, What these individuals on the RNC are doing right now in order to stand up for the grassroots really is laudable.
00:15:52.000This is patriotism because it's really hard when you're in a small group where there's a lot of money involved to look someone in the eye and say, Look, you've got to be you've got you got it, you've got to be replaced.
00:16:03.000And I don't think, again, we've talked about this.
00:16:05.000You know, you can like Rana, but I there's a lot of people I like that shouldn't run the RC.
00:16:29.000Andrew Del Rey and Todd of Akian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed.
00:16:42.000I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website.
00:16:51.000The thing I love about these guys is it's not about the transaction.
00:16:53.000They're helping you create a plan to help you reach your goals.
00:16:57.000Give them a call or go to their website, andrewandTodd.com.
00:17:00.000With today's still historically low interest rates, it's easier than you think to become a homeowner.
00:17:04.000I've relied on them and producer Andrew has as well.
00:17:07.000I highly recommend you take action now.
00:17:09.000And if you knew someone paying rent, tell them about Andrew and Todd.
00:17:12.000Go to AndrewandTodd.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.
00:17:19.000Laura, you said two of your colleagues in North Dakota are still in favor of losing and just basically getting paid.
00:17:27.000Like, what is the argument you hear from your fellow RNC people in North Dakota?
00:17:32.000Well, their argument is that things are just going fine and we just need to do more of what we're doing and try to, you know, do better next time.
00:17:38.000And after three to five times, that kind of does not ring true for those of us.
00:18:34.000I want to, this is what's interesting about what's happening: is that typically the RC race is 168 people, not even that.
00:18:42.000It's really 90 to 100 people that are either on payroll or they're getting favors or they just don't care that much.
00:18:50.000And there's no press, there's no attention, there's no conversation, there's no chatter, and the grassroots really have no idea what's going on.
00:18:57.000And you just wake up, you're like, why is that person still running the party?
00:20:26.000Now, the good news is, is that when I got elected two years ago and Fanshon got elected, what they ended up with in the RNC was grassroots people.
00:20:53.000And there are a group of new RNC members from two years ago who are in that same group.
00:20:58.000So either Tyler or Franchon, I love your thoughts.
00:21:01.000So we are being told that she has the votes, the race is over, everything is signed, sealed, and delivered, which is hilarious because there's no early voting in the RNC.
00:21:39.000Charlie, there's a lot of people that are doing just that.
00:21:42.000So there's a lot of people that were asked to sign on in a support letter for Rana before the election actually even happened and certainly before the Georgia election happened.
00:21:52.000And as it was brought up, there are many of our friends that are on that letter that aren't necessarily feeling all the warm fuzzies about keeping leadership exactly the same.
00:22:02.000And so this is where the grassroots comes in.
00:22:04.000Every single person that's here, all of the tens of thousands of people within the sound of our voice, the hundreds of thousands of people within the sound of our voice, you have to contact your members and say, I expect you to represent the grassroots.
00:22:17.000And if you do that, we're in a better place for that.
00:22:21.000Like you said, because it's a secret vote that 168 of us get a vote in January on January 27th.
00:22:44.000Just the three of us here represent over probably 15, 20 million people.
00:22:49.000Well, and Nebraska and North Dakota are two of the most conservative states in the country.
00:22:53.000By the way, anyone watching online, podcasts, radio stations across the country, I know of one website you guys can contact all of your RNC members.
00:23:01.000It's hire, like you're hiring somebody, H-I-R-EHAME.com.
00:23:08.000Maybe you say, hey, I want to voice my support for Rana, of which I have not met a human being that supports her that is not being paid by her.
00:23:14.000But if anyone does, I'd love to meet you and ask you why.
00:23:17.000But maybe it's Mike Lindell or maybe it's someone who's not running, Lee Zeldin, and it's hireharmeet.com.
00:23:22.000I want to read a quote here in Politico this morning.
00:23:24.000Thank you for Scott Pressler, my friend.
00:23:32.000He said, my guess is the RNC has probably the best value for every dollar donated than any other organization in DC, including all these super PACs that talk a big game.
00:25:10.000Hey, the best one I heard there, they should have been here in Arizona supporting Kerry Lake and the candidates all across the country, the MAGA candidates.
00:25:19.000By the way, how great does Ben Berquam do?
00:25:48.000Well, look, I think, first of all, on the Senate side, you have to stand for something.
00:25:54.000You can't just be anti-Biden because people just shrug and say, fine, he ain't doing a good job, but you aren't going to do any job.
00:26:00.000And frankly, the behavior of some of the Senate Republican leadership recently, if they roll over and cave to this huge spending bill, there's no wonder the grassroots is disgusted.
00:26:11.000Yes, their argument, though, is that, well, it's going to help the new Congress by, it robs their term, doesn't it?
00:26:18.000Well, first of all, since Kevin McCarthy has the biggest single interest in the new Congress, and he's saying publicly, they're just plain wrong.
00:26:48.000And frankly, the way the Congress right now, and I hate to say it, but a significant part of the Senate Republican leadership is part of that process.
00:26:57.000I mean, they don't represent the American people.
00:26:59.000They don't represent the Republicans who elect them.
00:27:02.000They just think it's their power and they can do what they want to.
00:27:57.000No, but instead, he's so focused on raising a bunch of money and then supporting people like Lisa Murkowski and not even supporting people like Herschel.
00:28:07.000I mean, Herschel was not just an electable candidate, but he should be a U.S. Senator.
00:28:16.000You know, and it was McConnell's team who pulled out in the middle of October and sent the signal, this guy's going to lose, don't help him.
00:28:23.000Well, he came close enough that maybe if McConnell had been aggressively for him, he would have won.
00:28:29.000And you can go around the country and see what he said.
00:28:32.000McConnell spent $4 million against the Republican nominee in New Hampshire.
00:28:38.000I mean, I thought the idea was to give money to McConnell to help elect Republicans, not to help defeat Republicans.
00:28:44.000I have sadly concluded that I think it's fair to say I am no longer a fan of Senator McConnell, and I don't understand what he's doing, and I don't understand why he thinks he has the power to do this except by sheer raw power.
00:29:00.000Yeah, and that's, I want to explore that with you.
00:29:02.000We only have a couple seconds here, though.
00:29:04.000Does he just want to be leader, whether it's minority or majority?
00:29:17.000Look, it's understandable, and history's filled with people who serve themselves instead of their country, but it's tragic for the country to have a Republican leader who clearly is not a Republican leader.
00:29:32.000Mr. Speaker, there is a fervent and excited, still MAGA Trump energy.
00:29:41.000However, talking to some people here, they're saying, I really want to see Trump get back to the Trump of 2016 or, you know, the Trump that would talk about the open border, you know, kind of a little bit of confusion on this NFT announcement.
00:29:56.000Mr. Speaker, help me make sense of this as someone who is kind of the philosopher of the conservative movement who also understands Trump rally well.
00:30:03.000Well, let me say, first of all, anybody who's not been here, this is an amazing turnout.
00:30:31.000Every time he gets off message, he weakens himself.
00:30:35.000He took what was potentially an unchallengeable position and has turned it into a race.
00:30:42.000I mean, whether it's DeSantis or somebody else, there will be a race for the nomination.
00:30:46.000And that would not have been true if Trump had been focused.
00:30:50.000But every time he does something like these NFT cards that are, you don't want to see a president of the United States looking like he's part of some kind of program.
00:31:01.000Yes, well, and also, but the lead-up was, I think, what he said a major announcement, right?
00:31:06.000And what's so upsetting to me is he actually sent out a video that day about big tech that was amazing about what he would do to rein in big tech from a policy standpoint.
00:31:16.000He had a huge win, and it was overshadowed by...
00:31:19.000Well, and this is a major problem that he's had for the last couple years, that he does five really smart things in a row, and then he manages to do something which overwhelms them.
00:31:31.000And so, of course, all of his enemies in the media skip the five really good things and magnify the one bad thing.
00:31:38.000But I think it has eroded his support.
00:31:41.000A good friend of mine said to me, my heart is with Trump and my head hopes he won't run.
00:31:46.000And that's something that Trump should take very seriously.
00:31:48.000That he has a lot of people out here who know he changed history.
00:32:18.000And they want to have a leader who rises to the occasion of leading 330 million free people to the kind of future we could have with good leadership.
00:32:28.000And I think that's why they're particularly hurt when he falls below that standard.
00:32:33.000And I'm not saying anything to you that I haven't communicated with him for six years.
00:32:39.000No, and it's also just from a perspective of we want to see the fullest potential reached.
00:32:46.000Because in 2016, interestingly, after the Billy Bush tapes, he actually hit a stride for 28 days there where he told all the consultants, get out of the room, and he was talking about the border trade deals, the kind of hollowing out of America, and it resonated in a very powerful way.
00:33:04.000Look, Elon Musk, by unveiling all the Twitter stuff, has given Trump enough material for three weeks of speeches.
00:33:12.000I mean, if he would just relax, you know, Biden does something at least once a week that would legitimately create a Trump speech.
00:33:20.000If Trump would rise to who he's capable of being, he would both be the nominee and win the presidency.
00:33:26.000But if he doesn't rise to that, there will be a point next year, I think, where people who love his policies and would like him to be the person he was are going to say, gee, you know, I got to really think about this.
00:33:40.000And I think that if people say it's automatic, I don't think they're looking at it honestly or correctly.
00:33:44.000And that's without even a serious, you know, actually no contender or serious contender in that way.
00:33:49.000But, you know, Mr. Speaker, I want to kind of focus on one element of this, which I find to be very interesting, which is regardless of who the candidate is, we have to build the machinery.
00:34:07.000I'll be honest, I'm very skeptical of that, but I do think it's necessary because here in Maricopa County, you just can't tell everybody to show up on election day.
00:34:15.000They sabotage or ambush the process that way.
00:34:17.000Well, I still don't understand Maricopa County because apparently there are like 25,000 ballots they can't validate.
00:35:21.000This is like in the olden days when they invented the forward pass, teams that said, you know, I just don't want to do that figured out they weren't going to win.
00:35:45.000And I think that's wrong for the country.
00:35:47.000But as long as it's true, we have to be prepared to be competitive if we intend to win.
00:35:53.000And frankly, because of the Senate races and because our expectations, and I was one of them, were so high, we're more disappointed than we should be.
00:36:02.000You look at Florida, you look at Ohio, you look at Iowa, you look at Texas.
00:36:10.000And then you look at we did pick up control of the House finally.
00:36:13.000So you have places where we're gaining ground, and you look at state legislatures.
00:36:19.000There are a lot of reasons to believe that, and since the election, you've had a number of Democrats switch and become Republican, city councilmen, state senators, et cetera.
00:36:31.000The American people are smarter than the elites, and the American people ultimately know the current system isn't going to work and has to be changed.
