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 will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You've 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.

00:00:39.000 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, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:01:17.000 All right.
00:01:18.000 Welcome, everybody.
00:01:19.000 September 3rd, 2026.
00:01:21.000 We're here in Phoenix, Arizona at the YRefi Studios.
00:01:23.000 How are we doing, Blake?
00:01:24.000 We're doing great, especially because of what we were discussing this morning.
00:01:27.000 We are six days out from a very momentous change in our immigration policy.
00:01:33.000 Okay.
00:01:34.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.
00:01:35.000 I wasn't actually sure where you were going with that, believe it or not.
00:01:37.000 You know, this is one of those weird days in the news.
00:01:40.000 Where we have this big wall of monitors over here, so we get to see all the different news channels that are going on.
00:01:45.000 And there is quite literally a different headline on all of them.
00:01:49.000 So CNN's covering the fact that, you know, Musk is about to open up his spending to help Republicans in the midterms.
00:01:58.000 We've got Fox talking about California judge tossing DOJ girl sports case.
00:02:04.000 Vice President Vance is going to host a White House press briefing.
00:02:07.000 You know, the Young Turks is talking about terrorism in Gaza.
00:02:11.000 You know, there's all kinds of things going on.
00:02:13.000 Then we got the Lindsey Clancy trial heading into day six.
00:02:15.000 So there is lots of different, various news items that are percolating and circulating.
00:02:21.000 But what's interesting is there is nobody, as far as I can tell, there talking about what Blake just mentioned.
00:02:28.000 And I want to make sure that you are aware.
00:02:30.000 And that is in six days, a 25 year and running temporary protected status for El Salvadorans after the 2001 earthquakes in.
00:02:43.000 That country is going to finally expire.
00:02:47.000 Now, you're probably wondering what earthquakes exactly nobody remembers, but these people, almost 200,000 of them, have been legalized to stay and remain in the United States for 25 years on a TPS designation that was originally given 18 months.
00:03:05.000 It's amazing to read.
00:03:06.000 I went and I looked up the original press release.
00:03:08.000 This happened in the first few months of the George W. Bush administration before 9 11 even happened, and there's just these incredible quotes in it.
00:03:16.000 It was The designation was made by AG John Ashcroft.
00:03:20.000 Covered, even then, they admitted up to 150,000 people.
00:03:23.000 Acting Immigration and Naturalization Service, I guess, do we even have IOs?
00:03:28.000 No, we got rid of it.
00:03:28.000 Yeah, we got rid of it.
00:03:29.000 So, office that doesn't even exist anymore, Marianne Wersch says the havoc caused by these earthquakes makes it extremely difficult for Salvadorans to return home safely at this time.
00:03:40.000 Given that reality, granting them temporary protected status is the prudent and humane thing to do.
00:03:47.000 And they have a bit where they describe.
00:03:49.000 You know, there's thousands of injured, thousands of homes destroyed.
00:03:53.000 These factors have clearly resulted in a substantial, but temporary, disruption to living conditions in El Salvador.
00:04:00.000 All right.
00:04:01.000 So, local NBC news station has been covering this.
00:04:08.000 And it's exactly how you would assume it would go.
00:04:12.000 Very much about Saab stories, about why this is so mean.
00:04:16.000 Play Cut 12.
00:04:17.000 An estimated 170,000 members of our community nationwide may need to leave the country as early as next week.
00:04:23.000 That's how many Salvadorans living in the U.S. with something called temporary protected status will have to go if that TPS is allowed to expire.
00:04:31.000 It includes people like Daisy Gonzalez.
00:04:34.000 It would upend everything.
00:04:35.000 I'm a homeowner.
00:04:37.000 I am a partner at a political consulting firm.
00:04:42.000 You know, a lot of people depend on me.
00:04:44.000 And it would just completely upend the lives of so many people.
00:04:49.000 Self deport or risk everything that I've built here.
00:04:53.000 She's been documenting the uncertainty she faces now on social media.
00:04:56.000 She came to the U.S. as a toddler, and her family qualified for TPS after an earthquake hit their native El Salvador.
00:05:03.000 TPS has allowed them to legally live and work here for decades, but unless Congress or the Trump administration takes action, those protections are set to expire on September 9th.
00:05:11.000 This is just El Salvador.
00:05:13.000 Oh, yeah.
00:05:13.000 El Salvador.
00:05:14.000 They suddenly have to say it that way.
00:05:15.000 But this is just, it's such a perfect example of this extremely sinister left wing nonsense they do.
00:05:22.000 It's called temporary protected status.
00:05:24.000 It plainly exists to deal with a situation like you cannot safely fly into your country right now because there's been a natural disaster or a military invasion, like something.
00:05:36.000 Actually, temporary has happened.
00:05:39.000 And then they drag it out.
00:05:40.000 They've extended it, I think, 11 separate times in the case of El Salvador.
00:05:44.000 El Salvador.
00:05:45.000 And then they go, and then they'll turn around and they'll say, they've put down so many roots here.
00:05:49.000 It's too cruel for you.
00:05:51.000 It's too cruel for you to end the program that we cynically manipulated and extended because we just wanted by whatever means necessary to get infinite people here.
00:06:01.000 And they're going to blame President Trump for this when it is your fault.
00:06:04.000 It is your fault because you strung these people along for a political objective.
00:06:09.000 And it was never meant to be temporary, is what you realize.
00:06:12.000 Temporary protected status is something that the Trump administration is doing great work on.
00:06:17.000 They're rolling it back.
00:06:19.000 Enough sob stories.
00:06:20.000 They're ending it one by one.
00:06:22.000 So we heard a lot of noise about the Haitian TPS being revoked.
00:06:25.000 And you even saw Governor Mike DeWine, who's a Republican in name only, saying that this is really harsh and these people are really good for the economy.
00:06:33.000 And that's what you'll always hear.
00:06:34.000 They'll always lean on the economic arguments.
00:06:37.000 It doesn't matter about what it does to local communities, what it does to To our rule of law, our sovereignty.
00:06:43.000 But there's something more sinister.
00:06:45.000 And I want us always to remember this.
00:06:47.000 This is an intentional project of the political left in this country.
00:06:51.000 Blake, I think, said one of the most profound things.
00:06:54.000 Don't listen to this, I don't say nice things very often.
00:06:58.000 The other day, and he said that the political left in this country is a replacement project.
00:07:02.000 They want to replace the body politic with new voters, they want to replace the institutions with socialist ones, they want to replace the American way of life with a socialist way of life.
00:07:13.000 Every which way you can imagine, it is an ideology that despises what we have in this country and they want to replace it with something made in their image, some utopian unicornia that will never exist.
00:07:26.000 And they want to replace you, the voters.
00:07:29.000 Stop 14.
00:07:30.000 Texas is a very, very Republican state, but some people say the demographics are changing and the demographics alone will make that it won't be so Republican next time around.
00:07:41.000 In a couple of presidential cycles, you'll be on election night, you'll be announcing that we're calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president.
00:07:51.000 It's changing.
00:07:52.000 It's going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth of folks from outside of Texas.
00:07:59.000 Oh, no, I think that's right.
00:08:00.000 But it's not going to happen on its own.
00:08:02.000 The demographics are changing, but it's going to take a lot of work from Democrats to lay the infrastructure for change.
00:08:09.000 So we're very busy working on that now.
00:08:11.000 Oh, the demographics are changing.
00:08:14.000 Oh, you see that?
00:08:16.000 That's the Castro brothers, former darlings of the political left.
00:08:20.000 I'm sure they're still around making some problems for us.
00:08:23.000 But this is the whole game.
00:08:25.000 They want 200,000 El Salvadorians to have a bunch of kids, and they want a bunch of Somalians, and they want a bunch of.
00:08:33.000 Insert third world nation here.
00:08:35.000 Now, what's really infuriating about this is that when it comes to El Salvador, Bukele's El Salvador is now the safest country in the Western Hemisphere.
00:08:45.000 Yeah, I was absolutely, yeah, I was looking at their murder rate in back in 1995.
00:08:49.000 It was 125 murders per 100,000 people.
00:08:53.000 That's like worst neighborhoods in the United States for a whole country.
00:08:58.000 When they did this temporary status, it was about 60 to 65.
00:09:01.000 They went through multiple waves of drug war where it went down and spiked to new highs.
00:09:06.000 And now, yeah, it's lower than America's murder rate.
00:09:08.000 They keep going, these Castro brothers.
00:09:10.000 Stop 15.
00:09:12.000 To answer your question about Texas, I believe that within the next six to eight years, that what you're going to see is the acceleration of that state into a purple state for two reasons the growth of the Latino community that is growing faster than any community.
00:09:28.000 Ah.
00:09:29.000 See?
00:09:31.000 It's all about being humane.
00:09:32.000 What about humane for us?
00:09:34.000 What about humane for Americans?
00:09:37.000 They don't care about that.
00:09:38.000 They just want raw political power.
00:09:40.000 And God bless the Trump administration and DHS for taking TPS off the table for yet another country that obviously can go back home.
00:09:53.000 What do the Democrats want?
00:09:54.000 They want full and complete destruction of the United States of America.
00:09:58.000 They do not want a better country.
00:10:00.000 They do not want you to live in a better tomorrow.
00:10:02.000 They want to overwhelm the system and radically transform it, as Barack Obama said, as one of the last things he said before he got elected president.
00:10:09.000 We are only a few days away from fundamentally transforming this country.
00:10:13.000 Let me ask you a question.
00:10:14.000 Do you fundamentally transform that which you love?
00:10:18.000 Do you turn to your wife and say, I can't wait to fundamentally transform you?
00:10:22.000 You conserve that which you love.
00:10:24.000 That is why we call ourselves conservatives, because we have gratitude and love for this country that we did not build but we inherited thanks to the grace and the glory of God.
00:10:34.000 They want to destroy it.
00:10:36.000 Charlie had a way with words, man.
00:10:38.000 He did.
00:10:38.000 Do you turn to your wife and say, I want to radically transform you?
00:10:42.000 No.
00:10:43.000 You don't.
00:10:44.000 Which is funny because you probably would admit that it does radically transform you.
00:10:48.000 You just don't do it in the way the left wants to do it.
00:10:52.000 Here's a really important stat that I want everybody to understand because, again, you've got, you know, we saw there's a debate.
00:10:58.000 Some of you might have seen it on socials with, I think, Brandon Straka's leading it about America First versus MAGA.
00:11:04.000 And has, you know, MAGA betrayed its voters, I guess, is the question.
00:11:09.000 And they're debating about Iran.
00:11:11.000 You've got Alex Jones on one side, you've got Andrew Wilson and Will Chamberlain and Gerald from, I think, Steven Crowder's show.
00:11:18.000 And they're saying, no, everything's, you know, on, it's going well.
00:11:22.000 And then the America first crowd is saying, it's not going well because of Iran, basically.
00:11:26.000 And everybody wants you to focus on that.
00:11:28.000 Now, I have critiques about Iran.
00:11:30.000 I'm not happy about some of the way that that's been handled or that it's continued on.
00:11:33.000 I get it.
00:11:34.000 I think a lot of you share that concern.
00:11:35.000 We want to see gas prices come down, especially before early votes start going up.
00:11:40.000 But to say that nothing is getting accomplished is a complete bastardization of the truth.
00:11:45.000 Let me show you one data point that I will point to.
00:11:48.000 This is beyond the fact that TPS is getting taken away for.
00:11:51.000 Somalians and Haitians and El Salvadorians.
00:11:55.000 187.
00:11:56.000 This is new data.
00:11:57.000 This was published today by the Center for Immigration Studies.
00:12:00.000 Since January of 2025, when President Trump took office, data shows an unprecedented drop of nearly 3 million, 2.9 to be exact, decline in the foreign born population.
00:12:13.000 That would be naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, long term temporary visitors, and illegal immigrants.
00:12:18.000 3 million.
00:12:19.000 Do you see that graph?
00:12:20.000 Constantly going up, up, up.
00:12:22.000 Didn't matter which president.
00:12:23.000 You want to talk about the Uniparty?
00:12:25.000 That's what it is.
00:12:26.000 Each president, more and more and more foreign born population in this country.
00:12:30.000 Boom.
00:12:31.000 First drop we've ever seen in my lifetime.
00:12:33.000 Yeah, and it's an accelerating drop.
00:12:35.000 It's 2.9 million in less than two years.
00:12:39.000 That undoes all of Barack Obama's first term.
00:12:43.000 If he gets another 3 million, it would undo all of Obama's second term.
00:12:48.000 And every reason to believe it would accelerate because we don't have any more illegals coming in.
00:12:53.000 We have a pretty big dip in the number of legals coming in.
00:12:56.000 It's just going to, these things build on themselves.
00:13:00.000 That's why Biden's term was so devastating.
00:13:02.000 He just, Opened the floodgates for so many people and letting in tons of foreigners fuels bringing in more foreigners.
00:13:08.000 Right.
00:13:09.000 Business chain migration.
00:13:10.000 They put down roots.
00:13:11.000 They also have a lot of babies.
00:13:12.000 They tend to, at least.
00:13:14.000 So that's a problem.
00:13:14.000 So here, let's show you a list of all the TPS designations as of January 20th, 2025.
00:13:22.000 So this is right when Trump took office, 194.
00:13:25.000 So obviously, we just talked about El Salvador, which was established on March 9th, 2001.
00:13:31.000 You see that bolded.
00:13:32.000 But here's some other ones Nicaragua, January 5th, 1999, a Hurricane Mitch came through.
00:13:38.000 And it doesn't have as many people, but that's 3,000 people.
00:13:42.000 All right.
00:13:44.000 Honduras goes back to 1999, also Hurricane Mitch.
00:13:47.000 Sudan, that goes back to November of 1997.
00:13:52.000 And the oldest of them all is Somalia, September 1991.
00:13:57.000 34 years of temporary protected status.
00:14:01.000 34 years.
00:14:03.000 Now, the two big ones right there are going, if you're looking at it, it's going to be El Salvador, which is a huge 170,000 people, Haiti.
00:14:10.000 Which just got rolled back, which was 330,000.
00:14:14.000 Praise God for that, that one's getting rolled back.
00:14:17.000 Venezuela.
00:14:19.000 Do we have data on what's happening with this Venezuela one?
00:14:22.000 I don't know off the top.
00:14:24.000 605,000 people.
00:14:26.000 605,000 people got TPS starting in March 2021.
00:14:32.000 We need to look.
00:14:32.000 These ones are such big because they're illegal immigrants, but they're the most taxing illegal immigrants because they're illegals who get work permits.
00:14:41.000 It makes them eligible for a whole battery of extra stuff and special treatment.
00:14:47.000 And on the flip side, it does mean that when you revoke it, it's easier to get them out actually, because we know exactly where they are.
00:14:54.000 We know they actually usually have to leave quickly.
00:14:57.000 They aren't embedded in these quasi legal arrangements the way someone working as an illegal roofer or an illegal construction worker might be.
00:15:07.000 They're working in schools, they're working in health clinics, they're working in places where we could employ Americans in those jobs.
00:15:14.000 And they're suddenly realizing, oh, we have to do that.
00:15:17.000 We might have to raise our pay to actually get Americans to do it.
00:15:19.000 Yeah.
00:15:20.000 Well, so just to give you an update on the Venezuelan, I don't know why I forgot this.
00:15:23.000 They were rolled back.
00:15:25.000 So both Venezuela TPS designations, the 2021 and the 2023, have been terminated by the Trump administration.
00:15:32.000 Most beneficiaries lost their protection in 2025.
00:15:35.000 So there is still a limited group that has work authorizations based on a court order, but all of those are getting rolled back.
00:15:44.000 And by the way, people are taking those self deportation, $3,000 stipends, free.
00:15:48.000 Airfare home.
00:15:50.000 You saw this with that young Texas boy from El Salvador, Liam, that all the Dems made a big story about.
00:15:57.000 His dad was offered a free flight home.
00:15:58.000 He took it.
00:15:59.000 They went back home together.
00:16:01.000 These are huge, huge generational wins.
00:16:04.000 And to Blake's point, if we keep them rolling, we're going to get our country back.
00:16:08.000 That's how big of a deal it is.
00:16:10.000 By Thanksgiving, TPS will be ended for every country.
00:16:13.000 Looks like the last one is Lebanon.
00:16:14.000 They lose it in November.
00:16:16.000 God bless them.
00:16:17.000 These are huge wins.
00:16:19.000 No administration has ever had the guts to do it.
00:16:21.000 And no one's covering it on the news.
00:16:23.000 And there's not a single headline anywhere in the news.
00:16:28.000 Allow me to ask you a quick question.
00:16:30.000 When was the last time, if ever, you got a second opinion on your mortgage?
00:16:34.000 Or if you're renting, have you ever wondered if owning a home might actually be more within reach than you think?
00:16:39.000 The truth is, a lot has changed over the last few years.
00:16:42.000 Home values have changed, interest rates have changed, lending programs have changed, even your financial goals have probably changed.
00:16:48.000 What made sense then may not be the best option today.
00:16:51.000 Here's what I see all the time homeowners, they often assume their current mortgage is the best they can do, while renters, they assume home ownership is just out of reach.
00:17:00.000 In many cases, neither is true.
00:17:02.000 That's why I recommend wholeheartedly talking to Andrew and Todd at Annie Mack Mortgage.

00:17:56.000 We're about to bring in Graham Allen.
00:17:58.000 By the way, he did a great hit this morning talking about Charlie.
00:18:02.000 I was so impressed by it.
00:18:03.000 And I'm going to have the team cutting that up so we can play a little bit of a For you.
00:18:07.000 But I want to throw this up here really quick before we bring on Graham.
00:18:11.000 This is the graph.
00:18:13.000 We talk about replacement theory as just a replacement, and we play those clips from the Castro brothers bragging about replacement.
00:18:20.000 This was a poster or some sort of note on the back wall from Mark Potock.
00:18:28.000 He kept a chart on his office wall literally titled Non Hispanic Whites Proportion of the Population, tracking the decline of white Americans toward minority status.
00:18:38.000 Like a doomsday countdown, or in his place, in his case, a celebration of white minority status in the United States.
00:18:46.000 This is what they care about.
00:18:48.000 This is what they spend their nights thinking about.
00:18:50.000 Everything is about, they love, I mean, they'll call them minorities, but basically, the absolute second that whites are 49.9%, it's going to be the majority.
00:19:02.000 It'll be Christmas.
00:19:03.000 We have to respect the majority of the country.
00:19:05.000 They love to do one of the lines they already use in a lot of places is global majority.
00:19:10.000 So they will say, you have to respect the Global majority.
00:19:13.000 You can't have your own country that your ancestors settled, built, that it is the only homeland you have.
00:19:20.000 You have to submit to people who have a backup homeland.
00:19:23.000 Yep.
00:19:24.000 Exactly.
00:19:25.000 All right.
00:19:26.000 Without further ado, Graham Allen joins us.
00:19:28.000 His new book.
00:19:29.000 I want everybody out there to go buy this and support Graham.
00:19:32.000 Graham is one of the fighters, he's one of the good guys.
00:19:34.000 Stand, fight, win.
00:19:37.000 Graham, welcome to the show, my friend, and congratulations on your brand new book.
00:19:42.000 Thanks, guys.
00:19:43.000 Thanks for having me.
00:19:43.000 Yeah, I am wearing the same shirt I was for that news hit you were just talking about.
00:19:49.000 I'm doing the gauntlet thing of the book launch right now.
00:19:53.000 And so, but thanks for having me.
00:19:55.000 It's always an honor.
00:19:57.000 Well, your subtitle, Our Battle for the Soul of America.
00:20:00.000 This is like, I mean, I just feel like Charlie would be really proud of you because he had the right wing revolution book that was looking forward, trying to say, hey, this is how we get our country back.
00:20:11.000 And you actually started writing this book before everything happened with Charlie.
00:20:15.000 Tell us the story of this book, how it came to be, what happened when Charlie was killed, how you changed it, and what it's about.
00:20:23.000 Yeah, well, one, it's, you know, I just kind of got goosebumps a little bit that you mentioned Charlie's book, right?
00:20:29.000 Wing Revolution because I posted a photo on my story.
00:20:34.000 Because you know, when you write a book and it goes everywhere, you go out to try to find it in a location or whatever.
00:20:41.000 And the first location we went to, me and Alyssa, we found it.
00:20:45.000 It literally is right next to Charlie's uh right wing revolution book.
00:20:51.000 And I don't know, I just again, it's on my stories right this second, I'm pretty sure.
00:20:56.000 But but but I actually posted that, I should have sent it to you, but but but I didn't.
00:21:00.000 Um.
00:21:01.000 Yeah, so that was a bittersweet moment.
00:21:06.000 Yeah, this book is interesting.
00:21:07.000 So I was challenged.
00:21:08.000 I was challenged to write a book that isn't just ranting Graham talking about the problems and talking about what's wrong.
00:21:17.000 And I was challenged, ironically, to be more like Charlie.
00:21:21.000 That's a true story from the publisher.
00:21:23.000 I was challenged to be like, all right, all right, everybody knows what the problems are, but what's the actual plan?
00:21:30.000 What's the actual mission moving forward?
00:21:33.000 And so I actually started writing this book in June of 2025.
00:21:39.000 And then obviously, we all know what happened a week from now will be a year ago.
00:21:47.000 And yeah, it radically changed the book.
00:21:50.000 And so, chapter one, there it is.
00:21:52.000 Yeah, yeah, great job to your team right there.
00:21:55.000 Yeah, that's the image that that's the first bookstore I found with it in there.
00:21:59.000 It was right next to Charlie, which was really cool.
00:22:01.000 But so cool.
00:22:02.000 The book started one way.
00:22:06.000 Charlie was martyred in front of our eyes.
00:22:08.000 And then when I turned this book in, it was 80,000 words when I turned it in on January.
00:22:15.000 In January, the publisher immediately wrote back and was like, fantastic.
00:22:21.000 We're going to have to cut about 27,000 words out of this book.
00:22:24.000 And you're a bit angry in this book.
00:22:27.000 And so.
00:22:28.000 That's what you're famous for, though, Graham.
00:22:30.000 That's fine.
00:22:32.000 It is.
00:22:32.000 But, you know, I told you when we launched the pre order that.
00:22:37.000 And I even say this in the book, I intentionally left the chapters that I had written pre Charlie being taken from us.
00:22:45.000 I left them the way that I had originally written them because, unfortunately, a lot of the things that I had talked about that I was seeing that this was going, unfortunately, on September 10th, 2025, I was proven right in that regard.
00:23:01.000 And so this book is a call to action.
00:23:05.000 And I believe that's what Charlie would want from us right now.
00:23:08.000 We all see the divide.
00:23:09.000 We all see the fighting.
00:23:10.000 We all see the evil.
00:23:12.000 That is going on.
00:23:13.000 But if we lose in November, how short of a memory we have to what we fought our way out of in 2024.
00:23:21.000 And they're going to come back even stronger and worse than ever.
00:23:25.000 And so this book is a battle cry.
00:23:29.000 I call it a Paul Revere moment from coming out of the admin, working in the Pentagon, shocker to all the conspiracy theorists out there.
00:23:37.000 I even put it in the book.
00:23:40.000 The, the, the, The rot and the decay in our government is real, and we need to win this election cycle, the next one, the next one.
00:23:51.000 And the book does have a very sombering tone in the fact that a lot of people believe that we just got to win one election.
00:24:00.000 And if we just win one election, then we're good.
00:24:02.000 And the sobering reality is we are never going to be good.
00:24:07.000 Every election is a vital election, every election is another fight to preserve the fight you just won, and then so on and so forth.
00:24:16.000 So I hope that people get that when they read this.
00:24:19.000 Yeah, in many ways, it's the.
00:24:21.000 It's the burden of having a representational form of government, right?
00:24:27.000 We are tasked with keeping this country going and keeping it thriving.
00:24:33.000 I mean, that is our job as citizens, as Republicans.
00:24:36.000 So I think it's great.
00:24:38.000 And I just want to say something about you personally, Graham.
00:24:41.000 And those of you out there that have followed Graham's story and followed the way that he rose up and became loud when a lot of other people cowered in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination and all the conspiracy theories, Graham didn't have to do that.
00:24:55.000 It's not like, you know, it's like the conspiracy theorists out there think, oh, Graham's on payroll and we're paying him per tweet or something to defend us.
00:25:02.000 No, nothing like that was at all the case.
00:25:05.000 Graham came to us multiple times and kept saying, I want to fight, I want to fight, I want to defend you guys.
00:25:11.000 And it was like, honestly, when you're in that position like we were, and to have a guy like this come out of nowhere, there's nothing in it for you, Graham, at all.
00:25:20.000 And to have you stand up and fight was truly incredible, actually.
00:25:25.000 And I know why you were doing it because you're loyal to Charlie and loyal to Erica.
00:25:29.000 And you don't fight because you know you're going to win.
00:25:31.000 You fight because it's the right thing to do.
00:25:33.000 And that's why this book that you've written to me stands out and why I want to help you move as many copies as you possibly can because you live the values that you preach in this book.
00:25:45.000 And you have my gratitude and my admiration, Graham Allen.
00:25:49.000 Well, I appreciate you saying that, but it was unnecessary, but it's appreciated.
00:25:54.000 Look, it was simple.
00:25:56.000 At the end of the day, there would be no.
00:25:59.000 Graham Allen for whatever that means without a Charlie Kirk.
00:26:03.000 Charlie helped me before anyone really knew who I was and he saw something in me and, you know, he saved me.
00:26:11.000 I talk about this in the book.
00:26:13.000 I would never have talked about it while Charlie was alive, but I talked to many people about it and they were okay with me telling the story of how there would be no dear America.
00:26:22.000 There would be no Graham Allen if Charlie Kirk had not seen something in me and stepped in to help me when just what you said about me, he had no reason to do so.
00:26:31.000 He just did it out of the goodness of his heart.
00:26:33.000 So, this book is what I believe Charlie would want us to be focusing on right now, which is the mission ahead, which is the midterms in November.
00:26:43.000 A lot of evils going on.
00:26:44.000 A lot of noise is going on right now.
00:26:47.000 But the midterms, we've got to win.
00:26:49.000 We have to deliver.
00:26:51.000 We have to show up.
00:26:52.000 So, yeah, my plea to everyone is please give the book a chance.
00:26:58.000 Check it out.
00:26:58.000 It's available everywhere.
00:27:00.000 Books are available.
00:27:01.000 If you want an easy way to do it, you can go to grahamallen.com and it has all the hyperlinks on where you can just buy it if you don't want to go get it in stores.
00:27:10.000 I think this is my best book.
00:27:12.000 This is book number three.
00:27:13.000 I think it took me three books to figure out how to actually write a good one.
00:27:19.000 And so I'm pretty proud of this one and I hope Charlie is too.
00:27:24.000 Amen.
00:27:24.000 Go to grahamallen.com, pick your favorite place to get a book and buy it and buy multiple copies because we need to restore a warrior ethos.
00:27:33.000 In the base, there's a lot of demoralization campaigns, there's a lot of black pilling, doomerism.
00:27:38.000 We need that spirit, Charlie's spirit lives on in people like Graham Allen right now.
00:27:43.000 So, buy the book, send it to your friends.
00:27:47.000 They want to show you this new t shirt that the team put together.
00:27:50.000 You get it at Charlie Kirk's store.
00:27:52.000 They just put it together for us ahead of the one year, and I think it's beautiful.
00:27:57.000 We actually had a team dinner the other night, and all the team got one, which was really cool.
00:28:01.000 But it's kind of a there it is, Charlie Kirk's store.
00:28:04.000 It's a freedom shirt, but it's kind of the colors are inverted, rather.
00:28:08.000 And I just think it's a great way.
00:28:11.000 You know, whenever I see a freedom shirt out there, I get it, it like touches my heart genuinely.
00:28:16.000 And you'll see them in the most like random places, too, like the shopping market or.
00:28:20.000 Wherever.
00:28:21.000 And you'll just see people rocking the freedom shirt.
00:28:23.000 And this is kind of a cool take on it.
00:28:25.000 And it's a way to honor Charlie.
00:28:26.000 So we'd be honored if you guys would check it out at charliekirkstore.com.
00:28:30.000 The team's doing great work there.
00:28:32.000 And so do check that out.
00:28:34.000 We are joined by Graham Allen.
00:28:37.000 And Graham, you had this great hit.
00:28:39.000 I just, you were so poised.
00:28:40.000 It was so great.
00:28:41.000 Moral clarity.
00:28:42.000 What I come to expect from Graham Allen is just perfect moral clarity.
00:28:46.000 I think you have a way of, Charlie was like that too, actually.
00:28:51.000 He could see something.
00:28:51.000 He was just like, this is black and white to me.
00:28:53.000 And sometimes that would hit you and be like, but that was kind of the special sauce that he had, too, because he didn't parse his words.
00:29:00.000 He didn't hit you with it softly or try and, like, you know, use language to kind of launder in some radical idea.
00:29:06.000 You know, if he believed it, he would just say it.
00:29:09.000 And that's how I think of you, too, Graham.
00:29:11.000 I mean, that is a great compliment, by the way.
00:29:13.000 Sod 18.
00:29:14.000 That is hate.
00:29:16.000 You know, one of the reasons that that attorney for the Kirk family just said that is because the defense made a decision yesterday to attack Charlie.
00:29:24.000 Character.
00:29:25.000 I remember turning around going, Did he just say what I think he just said?
00:29:28.000 And I talked about this on my show.
00:29:31.000 Here's the thing you can debate whether or not, and yes, Tyler Robinson deserves his right to a fair trial and trial by jury and all this.
00:29:40.000 But what is not up for debate is that Charlie Kirk is the victim.
00:29:45.000 You can believe all these crazy conspiracies that are going on online.
00:29:49.000 You can believe whatever you want.
00:29:50.000 The trial's going to happen now.
00:29:52.000 But what's not debatable is that Charlie was brutally murdered in front of the world.
00:29:58.000 And for that, For that lawyer, if you want to call him that, to go up there and attack the victim like that, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that with his widow sitting behind him.
00:30:09.000 Yeah, and then, Graham, you go on to talk about how small that courtroom is, which I now have a new appreciation for.
00:30:14.000 It is a very tight space.
00:30:16.000 It feels like you're breathing the same air as Tyler Robinson, candidly, and his defense counsel, and you are right there.
00:30:24.000 So when these guys are attacking Charlie, or during the preliminary hearing where Mr. Burt, The other attorney said something about is tacked Erica.
00:30:32.000 He was saying Erica was like holding press conferences, that she treated the prosecutors as her legal team.
00:30:39.000 Yeah, but people don't understand how emotional that courtroom is in person and how tight it is.
00:30:45.000 You had an experience for a whole week during the preliminary hearing.
00:30:48.000 Tell us about it.
00:30:49.000 Well, yeah, I think I said that it's all blurring.
00:30:52.000 Now, I think I said that on the hit with Dana was, you know, that courtroom is so small.
00:30:58.000 And so Tyler Robinson is maybe.
00:31:02.000 10 feet in front of you if depending on the day they would switch it out.
00:31:07.000 So Erica and all of us that were with her would be on the front rows one day and then they'd switch it out for Tyler Robinson's family and then so on and so forth.
00:31:15.000 So I don't know if you guys were in the front rows on the day that you guys were there Tuesday or not, but if you were, then Tyler Robinson is maybe 10 feet in front of you.
00:31:26.000 And then when they're at that podium speaking, they're maybe 12, 14 feet away, maybe.
00:31:32.000 Maybe.
00:31:32.000 And so I can't imagine what you felt.
00:31:36.000 I know that I was so upset that I couldn't make that day, but now I'm glad because, Andrew, I'm telling you, you, Erica, everybody, I don't know if I would have been able to control myself on that one.
00:31:52.000 It was one thing and it was terrible how they went after Erica, but then again, what's not up for debate, no matter what you believe, whether you believe Tyler Robinson's a patsy, whether you believe, like I do, that the evidence shows Tyler Robinson did it.
00:32:08.000 Although he deserves his trial, no one is arguing that.
00:32:11.000 Or whether you believe it's ancient Sumerian alien technology that saw into the future, whatever you believe, what's not up for debate is that Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated in front of the entire world.
00:32:27.000 He is the undebatable victim.
00:32:31.000 So is Erica and his children.
00:32:33.000 But no matter what you believe, Charlie is no longer here.
00:32:38.000 And for that attorney to get up there and essentially say, I mean, let's not church this up.
00:32:43.000 He essentially said, well, you know, Charlie was kind of asking for it at the end of the day because Charlie was this hateful person that hated Mr. Robinson and his lifestyle and his sexuality and this and this and that.
00:32:56.000 I don't know what I would have done in that situation if I had been in the courtroom.
00:32:59.000 I don't know what I would have done.
00:33:01.000 And I was telling people that when you get into court, the judge reminds you a couple different times throughout the day no gestures, no head nodding, no pins on your clothing, no expressions of anything.
00:33:10.000 You sit there and you stay still.
00:33:12.000 And in that moment, none of us could.
00:33:14.000 We all just like, Yeah.
00:33:15.000 Started, you know, I mean, it was a shocking moment.
00:33:18.000 But what else was shocking was just how bad of lawyering it was.
00:33:21.000 Because he's basically saying, we don't know that he killed him for his political expression, but he did say really hateful political things.
00:33:29.000 And we do know that he did say hateful things about people like, you know, Tyler Robinson and his gay lover.
00:33:35.000 It's so baffling.
00:33:36.000 And this guy's been around so long.
00:33:37.000 I mean, we talked to Andrea Burkhart, and she said, I think it literally is.
00:33:41.000 This guy has just been, he's a left wing anti death penalty crusader, and he just, Forgot his place, but I'm just not sold on that.
00:33:49.000 I feel like these guys, they know what they're saying.
00:33:52.000 He said it repeatedly.
00:33:53.000 It wasn't him awkwardly misspeaking one sentence.
00:33:57.000 He said hateful, hateful, hateful, repeatedly, different instances.
00:34:02.000 I just think these guys are sinister.
00:34:04.000 They want to plant the seeds.
00:34:05.000 They want some juror to come in and be like, I don't think we should execute somebody when the person he killed was a hateful individual who had it coming a little bit.
00:34:15.000 Yeah.
00:34:16.000 Well, and one of the things that I noticed in that courtroom, Graham, was.
00:34:21.000 All the conspiracy theory stuff just melts away when you're in that courtroom and they're dealing with the actual ballistics, the DNA, the surveillance evidence, the confessions.
00:34:30.000 Like, you're sitting there, you're like, Oh, oh, I get it.
00:34:34.000 All that noise, you just it feels completely absent from that courtroom, which is why we have courtrooms, which is why we have this process.
00:34:42.000 But it is taking a long time.
00:34:45.000 And I, I mean, I, I, I know you have thoughts about this too, so I'll give you the final floor.
00:34:51.000 Uh, one more time on your book and your final thoughts here, Graham.
00:34:54.000 Well, yeah, I mean, the fact that we are essentially a year since Charlie was taken from us and we still don't even have an actual trial date, it's beyond me.
00:35:03.000 I get it, but good lord, at what point is enough is enough?
00:35:07.000 But, but, but either way, thank you for the time.
00:35:11.000 Please consider going and checking out the new book, Stand, Fight, Win Our Battle for the Soul of America.
00:35:18.000 This book is a tribute to Charlie because it turned into that, unfortunately.
00:35:25.000 But it's also a book that I feel like Charlie would have wanted me to write.
00:35:28.000 It is a book about putting all the noise aside, remembering what we're fighting for, which is this country, which is the greatest country the world's ever known, and why every battle for victory is a battle for victory.
00:35:42.000 So go to grahamalland.com and go get the book.

00:37:00.000 That's americataxgroup.comslash Charlie Kirk.
00:37:06.000 So, every so often we like to dive into Maha, the health stuff.
00:37:09.000 It was super critical to what Charlie believed in and what he liked to talk about, and we like to keep that alive as well.
00:37:16.000 But it's also just really important when it comes to health, okay?
00:37:18.000 So, today we're going to talk a little bit about Alzheimer's, dementia.
00:37:23.000 This is something that is affecting a lot of you out there in the audience, I know, because we see your emails, you talk about this with us.
00:37:29.000 Did you know that more than 7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's?
00:37:38.000 7 million.
00:37:40.000 I had no idea it was that big.
00:37:42.000 So it's roughly one in nine adults in that age group.
00:37:46.000 Globally, over 57 million people have Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia.
00:37:52.000 So it's not only impacting the people diagnosed with this awful disease, it's awful, but it's devastating the lives of their family members and the people that love them.
00:38:03.000 So I wanted to show this clip to show you just how quickly the decline can occur with Alzheimer's.
00:38:10.000 Place that 22.
00:38:12.000 Early onset Alzheimer's can affect people in their 30s and 40s.
00:38:15.000 Rhonda was just 52 when the signs started to surface and officially diagnosed at 56.
00:38:23.000 She started to repeat herself all the time, started asking the same questions over and over again, wouldn't answer simple questions like what time it is.
00:38:31.000 I mean, as it turns out, she couldn't tell time, that she had lost the capacity to tell time.
00:38:37.000 Just before their 40th wedding anniversary, Rob knew it was no longer safe for his wife to live at home, so he placed Rhonda.
00:38:45.000 Into memory care.
00:38:47.000 Finally, the brain shut down enough where nothing else, where she just forgot how to swallow, forgot how to eat, and I'd like to think, and it seemed at least at the time peacefully passed away after a long, tough battle with this dreadful disease.
00:39:05.000 Early onset Alzheimer's that's a three word horror story.
00:39:08.000 Yeah, that's nightmare fuel.
00:39:10.000 So I wanted to bring on somebody you guys have seen before, Ellie Hirsch.
00:39:14.000 She's a senior health advisor from Brightcore.
00:39:17.000 She knows this stuff inside and out to talk about this with us.
00:39:21.000 Ellie, welcome back to the show.
00:39:22.000 It's good to see you.
00:39:23.000 This story that we just played is heartbreaking, but it apparently is not uncommon either.
00:39:30.000 Yeah, it's good to be back.
00:39:31.000 Thanks for having me again.
00:39:32.000 You know, the story about Rhonda Sutherland, it's so sad.
00:39:37.000 Every time I watch that clip, it just makes me tear up.
00:39:41.000 And this is just one of so many who have suffered this heartbreaking loss from dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
00:39:47.000 But the really frightening thing is it's not just affecting older people like we saw, right?
00:39:53.000 So early onset Alzheimer's affecting people in their 30s and 40s.
00:39:58.000 So, I just turned 50.
00:40:00.000 So, the idea of losing any mental functionality anytime soon is terrifying for me.
00:40:07.000 And, you know, reports show spikes such as 373% of an increase in diagnoses among 30 to 4 year olds and a 311% increase in 45 to 54 year olds in the US in recent years.
00:40:23.000 So, again, 57 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer's or some form of dementia.
00:40:30.000 And I think it's important to point out that, you know, many people conflate the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's.
00:40:35.000 So, dementia is really more of a broad term for a set of symptoms like memory loss, impaired thinking, behavioral changes that, you know, interfere with daily life.
00:40:45.000 Whereas Alzheimer's disease is a specific and progressive brain disease that's responsible for dementia, probably in 60 to 80% of cases, which is caused by the damage and death of the brain cells due to sticky protein buildup.
00:41:00.000 And, you know, many people don't even realize that they're suffering from dementia because they miss the early signs.
00:41:07.000 You know, it's short term memory loss, right?
00:41:09.000 It's repetitive behavior, asking the same questions or telling the same stories over and over, kind of getting lost, right?
00:41:17.000 Or forgetting the date and struggling with daily simple tasks.
00:41:21.000 And I think for years, you know, the medical establishment viewed the brain as an island, right?
00:41:26.000 Separate from the rest of the body.
00:41:28.000 And when doctors are targeting brain diseases, they often prescribe medications in an effort to directly target the brain.
00:41:34.000 But they're forgetting about the root cause and treating the symptoms instead of curing the problem.
00:41:42.000 So, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are two of the primary contributors to loss of cognitive function, and that leads to degenerative neurological diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and oxidative stress is an unequal balance in the body between the harmful, unstable molecules called free radicals and helpful protective molecules called antioxidants.
00:42:05.000 We've all heard of that.
00:42:06.000 So, there was a stunning scientific breakthrough.
00:42:09.000 It's reshaping what we know about Alzheimer's disease, and it's very exciting.
00:42:14.000 Yeah, and you're talking about this link between the microbiome and Alzheimer's, which, again, I'm a big believer that everything starts in your gut.
00:42:24.000 Every single health outcome, I mean, maybe not every single one, but darn near everyone.
00:42:29.000 I mean, a lot starts with your gut.
00:42:31.000 Throw that graphic up again.
00:42:32.000 Alzheimer's, a groundbreaking experiment, reveals a direct link to.
00:42:37.000 The microbiome.
00:42:38.000 What does this study reveal to us?
00:42:40.000 So, researchers have managed to transfer symptoms of the illness to healthy rats simply by transplanting gut bacteria.
00:42:48.000 So, this discovery really could revolutionize how we diagnose and treat one of the world's most devastating forms of dementia.
00:42:56.000 And what we eat has a tremendous impact on our cognitive health.
00:43:01.000 It impacts our levels of inflammation and oxidative stress that I was just talking about.
00:43:06.000 But more importantly, there is a direct link between the gut.
00:43:09.000 And the brain, and it's known as the gut brain axis.
00:43:12.000 This intricate biodirectional communication network links your gastrointestinal tract directly to your central nervous system.
00:43:20.000 Think of it like a highway, right, between your gut and your brain involving nerves, hormones, and immune signals.
00:43:27.000 It's where they are constantly sending messages, and it affects mood, digestion, stress, even cognitive function.
00:43:33.000 So, the chemistry of your gut microbiome directly dictates your mental health and cognitive function.
00:43:40.000 I like to say, and you've probably heard this before, that the gut think of it as your second brain.
00:43:45.000 So, talking to your actual brain, and it influences everything from anxiety to appetite.
00:43:52.000 And when your gut ecosystem is thriving, it produces essential neurotransmitters like the serotonin and the dopamine, the hormones that are responsible for feelings of happiness and well being.
00:44:03.000 So, in fact, 95% of your serotonin is produced in the gut before even making its way to the brain.
00:44:10.000 So, a well balanced gut microbiome also reduces a systemic neuroinflammation that clouds your thinking.
00:44:19.000 And you honestly won't believe what recent research tells us about how simple lifestyle changes.
00:44:26.000 Can make all the difference.
00:44:28.000 Well, Ellie, I think the first time you were on, I told you about this Atlantic article that I had read that was about basically why your dad could eat a Big Mac and not gain weight and you can't.
00:44:39.000 And it was, I think it was a 2013 article or something like that.
00:44:42.000 But it really got me thinking on this track and it was all about microbiome.
00:44:47.000 It's crazy.
00:44:48.000 Apparently, we just have studies at this point that we can find people who have the exact same lifestyle and eat the exact same thing as someone from 1982 are 15 pounds heavier or something like that.
00:44:58.000 No.
00:44:58.000 So I'm telling you, If you are not a believer yet, please, please, please think about your gut microbiome and your gut.
00:45:07.000 So much of your health outcomes will come from that.
00:45:10.000 And I think about it too.
00:45:11.000 You sometimes eat terrible food at night or something, and you can't think as well the next day.
00:45:16.000 I mean, this is the same concept of drinking too much alcohol or something, and you literally get brain fogged.
00:45:21.000 So, Ellie, you were saying that a recent research study has shown it's very simple.
00:45:29.000 Lifestyle changes can actually change these health outcomes when it comes to cognitive health.
00:45:33.000 Tell us about that.
00:45:34.000 100%.
00:45:35.000 You know, we've talked about how inflammation and oxidative stress are the two leading factors causing this cognitive decline.
00:45:42.000 But now it's been discovered that there's an even bigger one.
00:45:46.000 It's a sticky protein fragment called amyloid beta, and it builds up in the brain and it blocks the neurons from making those connections and speaking with each other.
00:45:55.000 And this is what causes Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
00:45:59.000 So normally the brain will clear these proteins away, but in dementia, amyloid beta can kind of clump together and they form these.
00:46:06.000 Plaques between your brain cells.
00:46:09.000 And these plaques are what interfere with communication between your neurons.
00:46:12.000 It triggers inflammation and may eventually damage or kill brain cells.
00:46:17.000 So, over time, this damage is what affects the memory, the thinking, your reasoning, your mood, your behavior, and most importantly, your ability to perform daily tasks.
00:46:27.000 And so, the research indicates if we can remove the amyloid beta plaque, we can essentially prevent Alzheimer's disease and dementia from occurring.
00:46:37.000 Right.
00:46:38.000 So, drug companies have spent billions of dollars over the past few decades trying to find a way to remove these plaques from the brain.
00:46:47.000 Right.
00:46:49.000 We have a clip on this, actually, Ellie.
00:46:51.000 Oh, good.
00:46:52.000 Great.
00:46:53.000 SOT 23.
00:46:54.000 The whole point about Alzheimer's was now we have a genetic group of people that definitely have this beta amyloid.
00:47:00.000 So, all the research then focused on what drug, because that's how the pharmaceuticals make money.
00:47:05.000 What's crazy is that I think there were like six or seven drug companies, and they were all trying to find this antibody or some.
00:47:12.000 Cure for this beta amyloid, and nobody ever found it.
00:47:15.000 I think Biogen sank $18 billion into looking for this drug on this one immunotherapy, I do helm, and they were sure that that was going to do it.
00:47:27.000 They submitted it to FDA twice and they turned them down in 2019.
00:47:33.000 That tells me if you have five drug companies that have been looking at it for 20 years for something that will stop beta amyloid and nothing has ever worked.
00:47:43.000 That's not very promising, but hopefully you've got some good news for us.
00:47:47.000 Yeah, you know what?
00:47:48.000 All these big drug companies haven't been able to achieve with their billions of dollars spent.
00:47:54.000 It can actually be accomplished with a centuries old superfood.
00:47:59.000 We know it as kimchi.
00:48:01.000 Okay.
00:48:01.000 Have you seen the study about kimchi and its ability to improve cognitive function impaired by amyloid beta?
00:48:09.000 Well, I believe we have that graphic, graphic four, if you can.
00:48:14.000 The cognitive memory function.
00:48:17.000 Basically, it's bioactive compounds in kimchi improve the cognitive and memory functions impaired by these sticky guys called amyloid beta.
00:48:27.000 So, as we just said, amyloid beta is the key marker of Alzheimer's disease.
00:48:32.000 Here it's up right now.
00:48:34.000 Got it.
00:48:34.000 And despite all the money spent by big pharma, this is the one thing that has been shown to actually be effective.
00:48:42.000 And kimchi, it's not only demonstrated the ability to improve cognitive abilities and memory performance, but also mental health with things like.
00:48:51.000 Depression, anxiety, but it doesn't stop at the brain.
00:48:55.000 So there are so many health benefits proven by numerous studies from consuming kimchi, right?
00:49:01.000 You have your cardiovascular health, your lower cholesterol, your triglycerides, your blood pressure regulation.
00:49:07.000 You have immune health.
00:49:08.000 Kimchi doesn't only strengthen the immune system, it's also antimicrobial, meaning it's antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic.
00:49:18.000 It even has positive impacts on our appearance, like the quality of our skin and hair.
00:49:24.000 It is so effective that Pharmaceutical giants like Cell Biotech and NST Bio, they've actually signed a deal with the World Kimchi Research Institute to turn kimchi into pharmaceutical products so they can make money off of something we already have.
00:49:40.000 And the reason kimchi is backed by a multitude of research and real life success stories is because it has over 900 unique strains of beneficial bacteria.
00:49:51.000 Compare that to like sauerkraut or some of the other places people get when you think of probiotics or whatever.
00:49:57.000 It's like significantly more, correct?
00:49:59.000 Significantly.
00:50:00.000 So, sauerkraut has only 28 different strains, okay?
00:50:04.000 So, you have your 28 and your 900.
00:50:06.000 You know, obviously, any fermented food is good for you, but nothing, I mean, nothing is going to stand next to kimchi, right?
00:50:14.000 It's just the king of fermented foods.
00:50:17.000 And, you know, I do hear from everyone oh, I'm eating sauerkraut, eat yogurt.
00:50:20.000 I don't need to eat kimchi.
00:50:22.000 I have other fermented foods.
00:50:23.000 And that's great, right?
00:50:24.000 But again, no other fermented food comes close because It's all about that microbial diversity, right?
00:50:31.000 So, the best thing you can do for your health and longevity is to consume kimchi.
00:50:37.000 So, the key to getting all these benefits from kimchi, though, is daily consumption.
00:50:42.000 When that's why we created Kimchi One, I am so passionate about it.
00:50:47.000 And whether you like the taste of kimchi or not, it's not something that is easy to eat every day, right?
00:50:52.000 It's not in our American staple.
00:50:54.000 I would count myself among those people.
00:50:57.000 I can't sit.
00:50:58.000 But Blake likes it.
00:50:59.000 I get it.
00:51:00.000 Fermented food is awesome.
00:51:01.000 I had it last night.
00:51:02.000 I had it last night with my seared tuna.
00:51:04.000 It was delicious, but I would have to eat like pounds and pounds of it, right?
00:51:08.000 So, what we do is we use a cold process drying method.
00:51:12.000 So, it retains all the fiber and nutrition of actual fermented kimchi.
00:51:16.000 Ours is low in sodium, unlike store bought, by the way, 100% made in the USA, all natural, non GMO.
00:51:23.000 But the one thing and the reason why I'm so passionate is because of the success stories about kimchi one.
00:51:28.000 People who've had problems with digestion and bloating, they are regular now.
00:51:33.000 Within a week of taking this, I will tell you, my genes buttoned up a lot easier and just feel better.
00:51:38.000 You know, people who had problems with their immune system.
00:51:41.000 Used to get sick, but they're not really sure why they aren't getting sick anymore.
00:51:45.000 Ellie, there's a great stat on kimchi and like weight loss because I know that there's a lot of people struggling with weight out there.
00:51:52.000 I was just at a very public place and I noticed it.
00:51:55.000 Americans struggle with this a little bit.
00:51:57.000 What's the stat on it though?
00:51:58.000 There's like if you take kimchi regularly.
00:52:01.000 So there's actually a study that showed that kimchi helped reduce body fat by 31.8%.
00:52:07.000 It's crazy.
00:52:07.000 In overweight individuals.
00:52:09.000 And by the way, I will tell you, you will notice this particular part.
00:52:12.000 I think a lot of people, if you take kimchi one, you will.
00:52:15.000 The bloating and the gut, like that.
00:52:19.000 I don't know how long you should take it for, but it really works.
00:52:23.000 You guys, I'm such a big believer.
00:52:25.000 I'm telling you, dear audience, the gut is central to everything.
00:52:30.000 If you're a Maha fan, if you're like everything RFK says, you're clapping, Alex Clark.
00:52:36.000 I'm telling you, gut health is health.
00:52:40.000 And we have something for our audience here, right, Ellie?
00:52:42.000 Specifically.
00:52:43.000 Yeah, so absolutely.

00:53:38.000 That's an amazing number.
00:53:39.000 31,407.
00:53:40.000 That's how many babies were saved that year because of the gifts of ultrasounds from people just like you.
00:53:46.000 Backpacks, lunch boxes, five years of love because a young woman chose life for her baby.
00:53:51.000 When a woman In an unplanned pregnancy, she sees her baby on that ultrasound and hears that baby's heartbeat, it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.
00:53:59.000 $140 helps give five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
00:54:04.000 Just $28 a month can help save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
00:54:09.000 A $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save babies' lives for years to come.
00:54:14.000 And I know there are some of you out there listening that can afford to give that amazing gift of $15,000 for an ultrasound machine.

00:54:32.000 Right now, you can help make motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with preborn.
00:54:37.000 I'd be so honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us.
00:54:42.000 Have one of my favorite guys out there, and he's just an amazing, amazing patriot, entrepreneur, all these things.
00:54:50.000 And we're going to be talking about it.
00:54:50.000 I've been telling you he's coming on because you have probably seen.
00:54:54.000 That a controversial plan from the Trump administration to import foreign beef has got a lot of people upset.
00:55:01.000 Okay, this came through.
00:55:03.000 Yeah, it's one of the few issues I've seen.
00:55:07.000 I mean, probably second to Iran that has gotten people this worked up.
00:55:12.000 A lot of the Maha stuff.
00:55:13.000 I told you we're doing a whole hour on Maha.
00:55:16.000 And this is Ben Spell.
00:55:17.000 He is a good friend, a dear friend.
00:55:20.000 And he's here to talk about this issue because his whole business is supporting American ranchers.
00:55:25.000 He's the CEO of Good Ranchers, and they do a great job.
00:55:28.000 Benjamin Spell, welcome back to the show, my friend.
00:55:31.000 Good to see you.
00:55:32.000 Hey, Andrew.
00:55:33.000 Thank you so much for having me on today.
00:55:34.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:55:35.000 It's great to see you, man.
00:55:36.000 All right, so let's throw up this Politico headline Trump in Purgatory.
00:55:41.000 A White House plan to lower beef prices is dividing the president's supporter.
00:55:45.000 Many ranchers and Republicans argue that boosting imports won't tangibly lower beef prices in the short term, in a rare break with the president's policies.
00:55:53.000 Now, I think it's safe to say that in general, you've been supportive of Brook Rollins, what they've done at the Department of Ag.
00:56:02.000 It's sort of reversing years of decline in this.
00:56:05.000 But.
00:56:06.000 Explain the problem because it is multifaceted.
00:56:10.000 You've got fertilizer costs.
00:56:11.000 You've got the lowest, I guess, American herd size in history and generations.
00:56:18.000 So, what is the problem?
00:56:19.000 And then, explain what the White House is trying to do here.
00:56:22.000 Yeah.
00:56:23.000 You know, I thought about this this morning.
00:56:26.000 I was on the show maybe two months ago with you guys.
00:56:29.000 And I'll remind you and the listeners I remember saying two months ago to you and to the listeners, Now is the time more than ever we need to be supporting our farmers and ranchers.
00:56:42.000 They've been overlooked.
00:56:43.000 This is not a new issue.
00:56:46.000 And I'm so glad that it's making national headlines now.
00:56:50.000 But we've been shouting this from the rooftops for the last seven years.
00:56:57.000 And this has been a problem over a decade in the making.
00:57:01.000 So I think the president is absolutely right about addressing the problem because beef prices are too high for American families and we need relief.
00:57:09.000 But Importing our way out of a historically small cattle herd is not a long term solution.
00:57:16.000 And again, if we don't support our own farmers, our own ranchers here in America, and give them incentive to rebuild the herds, then we're just going to keep going in circles.
00:57:33.000 So I think the president is right to address the problem.
00:57:36.000 Beef prices are way too high.
00:57:38.000 But this 90 day, Just increasing imports, which by the way, we've been importing the 300,000 metric tons that they announced.
00:57:48.000 You know, everybody kind of is all in arms going, oh my gosh, we're importing meat.
00:57:53.000 Well, we imported over 4 billion pounds of beef into the US just last year.
00:57:58.000 And we've been importing over 3 billion pounds for the last six years.
00:58:02.000 So this is not anything new, but it's something that we're very much aware of to the general public now.
00:58:10.000 So just to give everybody the backstory here, it says President Trump signed a proclamation on August 26, 2026, temporarily expanding the U.S. tariff rate quota on imported lean beef trimmings.
00:58:24.000 So, used to blend with domestic beef or ground beef for 90 days starting September 1st.
00:58:30.000 So, we're in it now.
00:58:31.000 Up to 300,000 metric tons, 100,000 per month, can enter at the lower in quota tariff rate instead of the much higher out of quota tariff.
00:58:40.000 Exporters are expected to sell it at a 25% discount to the Current price.
00:58:46.000 Okay.
00:58:47.000 The stated goal is to increase ground beef supply and ease higher consumer prices while the U.S. cattle herd remains near multi decade lows.
00:58:55.000 So the question is sort of twofold, Ben.
00:58:57.000 Will this actually lower prices?
00:59:00.000 And will this have a detrimental effect on American ranchers?
00:59:06.000 It seems to be the answer to the second question is obviously a yes, right?
00:59:10.000 Yes.
00:59:10.000 Well, here's the thing there's no mandatory country of origin labeling law in the U.S. for beef or for pork right now.
00:59:19.000 And it's been that way since 2015 when it got repealed.
00:59:24.000 And again, this is our entire messaging that we've been.
00:59:29.000 Shouting for years is we need to bring back mandatory country of origin labeling for beef in the US.
00:59:37.000 Because right now, the foreign beef gets imported into our system and there's no transparency and it sits equally alongside the American beef.
00:59:48.000 So if we really want import to be to lower prices, then it needs to be labeled.
00:59:55.000 It needs to be clearly labeled where it's coming from, what's in it, how it was raised.
01:00:00.000 And until that happens, We're really just putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.
01:00:08.000 Again, importing beef is something that we've done for a long time and it is a part of our supply chain.
01:00:16.000 But the reason we're in the predicament that we're in is because there's no mandatory country of origin labeling law for that imported beef.
01:00:24.000 And so until we can get that reinstated, it's just a complete guessing game.
01:00:34.000 And what we've learned over the last two weeks, especially, I mean, we've been flooded with comments from people.
01:00:43.000 And Americans want to buy from Americans, and Americans want to support American farms and ranches.
01:00:50.000 So, you know, now is the time to support your local farm and ranch.
01:00:56.000 And if you live next to a ranch, if you know somebody that sells beef directly to consumers, we should be supporting those people.
01:01:06.000 Yeah.
01:01:07.000 So this is.
01:01:08.000 Presented by the administration as a temporary measure.
01:01:12.000 There's been a price spike.
01:01:13.000 It's not even really a gradual rise that's finally gotten noticeable.
01:01:17.000 It just does seem to be a big upward jut.
01:01:21.000 Probably is meant on some level to alleviate a viral price increase ahead of the election.
01:01:28.000 But what's a long term policy?
01:01:30.000 Let's suppose they really do want this to be temporary.
01:01:33.000 What's a policy they could pass now so that in two years we don't need to be implementing any special import rules?
01:01:42.000 So that we can.
01:01:43.000 I'm not saying we need to drive down the Jeep.
01:01:45.000 How do we drive down the Jeep right now?
01:01:46.000 No, no, I shouldn't even say need.
01:01:47.000 How do we just make it so this is not even in consideration in 28?
01:01:51.000 I don't want to oversimplify it, but if we would bring back mandatory country of origin labeling, the cool law, if we would implement that, that would make a huge difference in the market.
01:02:04.000 Yeah.
01:02:05.000 Because.
01:02:06.000 Ben, didn't you tell us last time that if it's something like 90% of Americans, if they knew that they were buying American beef, they would pick that beef, right?
01:02:14.000 Yes.
01:02:15.000 Every year, the.
01:02:17.000 The National Organization of the American Meat Conference, the North American Meat Conference, they do a study.
01:02:25.000 And it's the most vast study done on consumers.
01:02:29.000 And it's for grocery shopping, online shopping, all of the meat grocery shopping in the US.
01:02:36.000 And the number one thing that consumers are looking for, especially when it comes to beef, over grass fed, over organic, over no antibiotics.
01:02:47.000 Which all of those things are great.
01:02:49.000 But the number one thing that consumers have said for the last five consecutive years is country of origin labeling.
01:02:55.000 They want to know that it's American beef that they're buying in American stores.
01:02:59.000 And right now, we do not have the ability to know what we're buying at the grocery store, whether it's coming from an American farm or it's coming from Brazil or South America or Mexico or anywhere else in the world.
01:03:15.000 And you can't build American beef independence by making American ranchers compete with tariff free foreign beef that consumers can't identify.
01:03:23.000 Yeah, I think that's so obvious.
01:03:26.000 I think to us listening, and I can't believe they ever got rid of that in 2015.
01:03:31.000 What is causing this low herd size, though, Ben?
01:03:38.000 There's the natural things like we've had kind of historic years of drought, and cattle need water.
01:03:48.000 Cattle are not widgets.
01:03:50.000 You can't just push a button and get more of them.
01:03:53.000 And you're talking about an animal that has a minimum of a two year life cycle across.
01:04:00.000 Multiple seasons.
01:04:02.000 So the price of everything has gone through the roof over the last four years.
01:04:10.000 So when you have an increase in feed, an increase in fuel, and also a lack of water, that makes it really hard to grow your herd.
01:04:24.000 But the big issue is our ranchers have been.
01:04:31.000 Overlooked for the better part of the last decade.
01:04:35.000 And so, for them to hold on to cattle to build their herd means that they have to forego selling them right now and making a profit right now to invest in the future.
01:04:51.000 And they have not been incentivized, nor have they been prioritized by not just this administration, any administration over the last decade.
01:05:03.000 That's interesting.
01:05:04.000 So, Ben, you're saying that basically, because if you have a herd, right, you're facing a choice at some point.
01:05:10.000 Do we, you know, do we butcher them or sell them or do we keep them so they can have more land?
01:05:17.000 That's really interesting.
01:05:18.000 I hadn't, you know, bring that up.
01:05:19.000 Yeah.
01:05:20.000 It's a very simple thing to assume, but you're either going to be financially incentivized to grow that herd or you're going to be financially incentivized to send those to, you know, a feedlot and, you know, get some money from that, right?
01:05:33.000 And that's got to be a situation.
01:05:35.000 So they've been choosing.
01:05:37.000 To sell rather than to rebuild, because the average age of a rancher in the US today is 62.
01:05:52.000 And so they're getting close to retirement age and they're going, I don't see light at the end of the tunnel.
01:05:59.000 We've been overlooked for years and not getting the support that we need to keep building these herds.
01:06:09.000 So they've been selling, selling, selling.
01:06:11.000 Here's two graphs, though.
01:06:12.000 You mentioned these briefly.
01:06:14.000 Here's 204.
01:06:15.000 This is the price of diesel, Ben.
01:06:17.000 Look at it over time.
01:06:18.000 204.
01:06:20.000 It's obviously very high.
01:06:22.000 And so we could talk about what's driving the price of diesel, but we know all energy costs are high right now.
01:06:28.000 And then we have this other one the price of fertilizer, I believe, is 203.
01:06:36.000 203 is the price of fertilizer.
01:06:37.000 So these are.
01:06:38.000 Look at that spike.
01:06:39.000 You can see that gigantic spike.
01:06:40.000 I think that's exactly.
01:06:41.000 When Russia invaded Ukraine.
01:06:44.000 Yes, exactly.
01:06:44.000 You can see it over the years.
01:06:46.000 So these are cost drivers that are impacting cattle ranchers all across the country, but any type of meat that's being produced, that's going to filter down into the price of the meat that you consume.
01:06:58.000 So I have sort of two questions.
01:07:02.000 Why are we importing so much beef and meat?
01:07:04.000 You said it's like millions of pounds or billions of pounds, even.
01:07:09.000 Billions, yeah.
01:07:10.000 Okay.
01:07:11.000 Is it possible to roll that back as opposed to ramping it up?
01:07:14.000 If we do that, Are the American cattle industry ready to meet the demand if we do that?
01:07:21.000 What's the right answer here?
01:07:22.000 Yeah, again, imports are a strategic part of our system.
01:07:31.000 But they should never be the fix all for our system, and they should not undermine the American ranchers.
01:07:42.000 And for the last decade, since we've not had country of origin labeling, they've been undermining.
01:07:48.000 The American ranching production.
01:07:52.000 If America decides we need to import more beef temporarily to supplement supply, that's okay.
01:07:58.000 But American families should be able to look at a package of beef and know whether that animal was raised in Texas, Montana, or Mexico, or Brazil, or Argentina, and let the consumers make the choice.
01:08:09.000 And right now, that's not the thing.
01:08:12.000 Yeah.
01:08:13.000 So, what's the status on that?
01:08:15.000 I know you're working behind the scenes, you're trying to get this accomplished.
01:08:18.000 I want to help, actually.
01:08:20.000 I come from a cattle ranching family.
01:08:22.000 And weirdly enough, I'd never thought of that just trade off.
01:08:25.000 Do you butcher your cattle or do you leave them to have more babies and grow your herd?
01:08:31.000 I just had never actually thought about it that simply, which is sort of ridiculous.
01:08:35.000 But that is the trade off, especially as you're getting older, you're looking to cash out and you're not really planning for the long term.
01:08:41.000 So the question is, what do we do about it?
01:08:43.000 I mean, how do we get more young ranchers?
01:08:46.000 Is that something that is an initiative somebody's taking on?
01:08:49.000 Secondly, how do we incentivize this industry to grow their herd size?
01:08:54.000 Yeah.
01:08:54.000 So, we need to make cattle production attractive enough for new producers, younger, these next generations to come on.
01:09:05.000 And we need to let them know because, plain and simple, the market is so volatile.
01:09:14.000 And I was talking to a rancher on Monday out of Wyoming.
01:09:18.000 And I mean, he was upset, isn't even an understatement.
01:09:24.000 And he was.
01:09:26.000 He had all of his cattle loaded up, ready to go to market.
01:09:30.000 And when the president made that announcement, the price of cattle, the whole, you know, it's a commodity and everything, the price just dropped so low that he knew that if he took them to market, he would lose money on them.
01:09:46.000 And these are animals that he's had for the last two years, taking care of day in, day out, raising these animals.
01:09:53.000 And it's time to take them to market to sell.
01:09:56.000 And they're below market value.
01:09:59.000 He's literally going to lose money on every head that he would sell.
01:10:04.000 So he waited a week, hoping that the price would rebound and it didn't.
01:10:11.000 And then he was faced with this choice I don't have enough grass to keep feeding these animals.
01:10:17.000 So I've got that.
01:10:20.000 He had to move them on.
01:10:22.000 I talked to him again yesterday and he was really upset because he's like, I just took them, I just sent them out to the market and I'm just praying I break even.
01:10:34.000 And not even, you know, he's not even praying he makes a profit at this point.
01:10:37.000 He's just praying that he breaks even.
01:10:39.000 So, if we're going to rebuild the herds, we have to give security to our ranchers that there's going to be profit for them two years from now, three years from now, five years from now, which would allow them to hold on to those cattle.
01:10:55.000 We need to reduce unnecessary barriers and costs for American producers, and we need to expand and protect the domestic processing capacity and competition, which is in.
01:11:10.000 Another completely different.
01:11:12.000 I wanted to ask about that.
01:11:13.000 The other day, President Trump said he was open to, or not open, he was vowing he was going to open up the process that he has said.
01:11:23.000 For years, I have heard about the tremendous problem with the big processors.
01:11:26.000 He had that in Trump capitals.
01:11:28.000 Many say they are a nasty monopoly.
01:11:31.000 There are essentially four of them, a very non competitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful farmers and ranchers.
01:11:40.000 I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow farmers and ranchers to be given the right to process their own food.
01:11:47.000 This should move quickly.
01:11:50.000 Is that getting towards a policy that would be helpful for lowering your costs, increasing your profits, allowing us to get bigger herds?
01:11:58.000 That's a five to 10 year process at minimum.
01:12:03.000 Again, I do think it's a step in the right direction.
01:12:07.000 But there's, again, when you go back to the big four that he's talking about, two of those are majority.
01:12:14.000 Foreign owned.
01:12:15.000 They're not even American owned.
01:12:20.000 And those between those four, they have all of the major retailer contracts.
01:12:28.000 So even if American ranchers could process themselves, they still wouldn't have an outlet for the meat.
01:12:39.000 Just because you can process it, you still have to have a way, you have to have someone to sell it to.
01:12:43.000 And We've been so backwards for so long.
01:12:52.000 Yeah, it's not something.
01:12:54.000 Maybe we can move quickly on policy, but it's going to take years to.
01:12:58.000 But we still have to make those changes, though, right, Ben?
01:13:01.000 I mean, it's still.
01:13:01.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:13:02.000 Yes, it is absolutely a step in the right direction, but it's not going to magically change things overnight.
01:13:08.000 I feel like this is just a good demonstration of how much of a long view you have to take on the economy, that even agriculture, you think of that as an annual thing, but no, this is.
01:13:17.000 Two years to build out a herd, five years to build out processing.
01:13:22.000 The fact that the ranchers are old, so they want to cash out their herds.
01:13:26.000 Yeah.
01:13:27.000 And by the way, it just perfectly aligns with Charlie's messaging.
01:13:30.000 You know, work in the trades, go work on a ranch.
01:13:32.000 Like, we want to inspire young people to take up these kinds of careers because it's the bedrock of the country.
01:13:38.000 And we didn't even get into national security.
01:13:40.000 What happens if there's a war or a pandemic?
01:13:42.000 We need to be able to produce our own ranch, our own beef cattle.
