Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
The Charlie Kirk Show starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
The Job Job Jobs report for April hitting the wires.
Non farm payrolls a greater one hundred and seventy seven thousand.
We're expecting, as Joe pointed out, one hundred and thirty
three thousand. One hundred and seventy seven thousand would be
the second best of the year outside of what's in
the rearview mirror.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Four hundred and thirty six thousand increase in the number
of people who are employed, so this is an amazing report.
The number of people the labor force participation rate rose,
so this is a really strong number. I wanted to
mention one other quick thing. You know, about two weeks ago,
every headline, Wall Street, chartle New York Times, Washington Post ever,

(01:04):
was oh, the stock market is crashing, and since then
the market has been up on like two eight hundred points.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yeah, you don't see that.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
By the way, I don't see the headlines about that.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
So that just a few hours after we got into
their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant had actually
deleted over a terriblet of accounting records for several years.
So you'd have to ask the question, well, why would
somebody do that. If the dotch team fortunately was able
to recover that data would help of a few great
employees at Institute be and I think the most troubling
thing was they received fifty five million dollars a year

(01:34):
from Congress, and any money that went unspent, instead of
returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into a
private bank account.

Speaker 6 (01:40):
The Chinese need to de escalate these high tariffs because
there is the equivalent of an embargo. As we speak,
we're going into the holiday season. Orders are placed for
that now, so if those orders are placed, it could

(02:01):
be devastating for the Chinese. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (02:03):
A little bit of breaking news coming into us from Germany.
The Routers news agency is reporting that the country's domestic
intelligence agency has classified the Alternative for Germany Party as
an extremist entity that threatens democracy, a move that enables
it to better monitor the party, which came second, of course,

(02:25):
in February's federal election.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
I dropped at a Harvard and came here to serve
my country, and it's been unfortunate to see you.

Speaker 8 (02:34):
Class friendships.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Most of canvas heats speak now, but I think fundamentally
I hope people realize through conversations like this that reform
is genuinely needed.

Speaker 9 (02:45):
Well, this is textbug human trafficking. I'll remind viewers that
there are eight other individuals in this car that Kilmar
Abrego Arsia was driving. They were driving allegedly from Texas
to Maryland. That's a three day journey. Not a single
piece of luggage in that vehicle.

Speaker 10 (03:02):
We were far too dependent on China.

Speaker 11 (03:04):
We allowed them, through unfair trade practices.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
To de industrialize us. That's a very dangerous place to be.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
And President Trump is taking it on and he's doing
it now because it needs to be done now.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It cannot wait any longer.

Speaker 12 (03:16):
Well, I actually think this show is a huge amount
of confidence in Rubio. If you talk to people in
the White House, you talk to people who supported Donald Trump,
we believe Rubio has done a terrific job. He has
been a consistent spokesperson for the president's priorities. He did
a great job on the l Salvador issue, did a
great job on the student visa issued. He is one
of the smoothest communicators that the administration has. It's obvious

(03:38):
they have a lot of confidence in him, not just
because they gave him Secretary of State, but they put
him in at usaid they'd have him to do a
massive reord in the state departments. I've seen the way
things are working. There is no chaos.

Speaker 13 (03:50):
What's interesting the numbers, by the way, we're very I
was a little surprised to see how the stronger they were.
But this is very encouraging because we're already seeing many
of the companies dependent upon foreign suppliers already reshoring some
of their jobs. In fact, I talked to recently to
a couple of entrepreneurs who are getting off their China dependency.

Speaker 10 (04:10):
They are going to other Southeast.

Speaker 13 (04:12):
Asia companies for their supplies, and they're starting to look
at the mastic manufacturers. So they're putting orders in already
for the third and fourth quarter for this.

Speaker 14 (04:20):
So even if you agreed with help with supporting our
pack up Bambas and grew well, actually most of the
money never made it out of DC. It's going into
the pockets people in the neighborhood. I believe the GEO
estimates it is not our estimate. I believe it was
on the order of only ten to fifteen cents, and
the dollar actually gets.

Speaker 10 (04:41):
To the end recipient.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Whether you agree with that close or not.

Speaker 15 (04:44):
So maybe no one got a sex change in Guatemala.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's possible.

Speaker 16 (04:47):
If you want to change the world, you have to
have the courage to be an outsider. Progress never comes
from those satisfied with the values of a broken system.
It comes from those who want to fix the broken system.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Every day there is a.

Speaker 17 (05:03):
Battle for your mind, raging information coming from every angle,
but the will to the sieve fear not. You found
the place for truth, the voice in a generation that
still has the will to believe in the greatest country
in the history of the world.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot. Here
we go.

Speaker 10 (05:24):
Okay, everybody welcome. We are here, live and beautiful San Diego.
We have a live audience here and we also have
producer Andrew as well here on this beautiful Friday, and
it is a great day to be alive. Lots of
news to cover. And in the second hour we canceled
our traditional members call and it said we're going to
have a open Q and A with our supporters of

(05:44):
Turning Point USA.

Speaker 18 (05:45):
It's gonna be amazing, and.

Speaker 10 (05:47):
So just everyone watching on Real America's Voice or the
amazing streams or on how many radio stations are we
on now.

Speaker 18 (05:53):
About two hundred and ten across the country.

Speaker 10 (05:56):
Yeah, and we're praying for Dennis Prager's recovery, but we
taken over Dennis Prager's radio footprint, which were very honored
and to continue his legacy and to continue his great work.
And we hope Dennis will return soon. And by doing that,
we're gonna have a great Q and A in the
second hour. So we're gonna have a lot of fun there.
So let's dive into it. There's a lot of news
over the weekend, including a job's report. What was the

(06:18):
Job's report this morning?

Speaker 18 (06:19):
Andrew, Well, the jobs report beat expectations. I think Steven
Moore put it really well, where this is over four
hundred thousand actual new jobs that the people being employed,
over four hundred thousand jobs report will say one hundred
and seventy seven thousand. That beat Wall Street expectations's had
at around one hundred and thirty thousand. But non farm

(06:41):
payroll went through the roof. We're seeing a lot of
manufacturing get reshored. So the changes that President Trump is
making in the economy, namely through tariffs, tax incentives, regulatory incentives.
They're already showing signs that those are working. Stock market
took off like a rocket this morning. And actually, what's interesting,
two weeks ago, Charlie, everybody saying the sky is falling,
the sky is falling, We got a recession is imminent.

(07:04):
And here we are, about two weeks later. The stock
market's up twenty eight hundred points and counting. And you
have a lot of these changes that are being implemented
in the economy already taking effect.

Speaker 10 (07:15):
So do we have the clip of Steve Moore talking
about this. Let's go here. I think I have it
for eighty six let's plick up.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Forty six, four hundred and thirty six thousand increase in
the number of people who were employed. So this is
an amazing report. The number of people the labor force
participation rate rose, so this is a really strong number.

Speaker 19 (07:37):
I wanted to mention one other quick thing.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
You know, about two weeks ago, every headline Wall Street, Turtle,
New York Times, Washington Post, everyt was, oh, the stock
market is crashing. And since then the market has been
up one like two eight hundred points. Yeah, you don't say,
I don't see headlines about that, so.

Speaker 10 (07:59):
Well, It's sortant to note too, that the stock market
is not the economy. The stock market can re react
to jitterism news. The economy is growing incredibly strong and
is only going to grow stronger with the tax cut
that we see coming and deregulation. Let's go to CNBC.
Let's play cut four eighty three.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Job Job Jobs report for April hitting the wires.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Non farm payrolls are.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Greater, one hundred and seventy seven thousand. We're expecting, as
Joe pointed out, one hundred and thirty three thousand, one
hundred and seventy seven thousand would be the second best
of the year outside of what's in the rearview mirror.

Speaker 10 (08:36):
Now you have to wonder are the Democrats happy about this?
I mean, they're the ones saying that the recessionists are.
They thrilled that the American economy is doing better and
doing it's actually only going to further improve. You See,
the prediction was that by now we would have major
job losses. We have the tariffs. They said, by the summer,
we're going to see major drop offs. That this job
support has exceeded expectations.

Speaker 18 (08:54):
Well, yeah, this this just reminds me of just about
every other chapter of President Trump's political career where the
elites and the experts tell us he's doing it wrong,
only to find out in the end that he's doing
it right, that his instincts have been right all along.

Speaker 10 (09:07):
Now he's not right about everything.

Speaker 18 (09:09):
Listen, we're free to disagree with President Trump, but I
time and time again, whether it's foreign policy, energy policy, tariffs,
President Trump has an instinct for these things. He's a businessman,
He's seen it up close and personal. I've always been
a fan of tariffs. We have internal disagreements on our
team about tariffs. I get it that it causes jitters
in the short term, but we're already seeing, especially with

(09:30):
like auto manufacturing, where they're starting to replace you know,
producers and their supply chains. They're reshoring those supply chains.
They're already working on it. Ford has come out said
they're building two new plants, Hondai, Toyota. All of them
are making moves to re shore supply chains, which is

(09:50):
going to increase America.

Speaker 10 (09:51):
And also remember remember they told us that if the
border was closed, it would creater America without cheap illegal labor.
This is a very important point. The borders canmpletely secured
ninety nine percent border crossing incredible, and then we have
deportations happening. So it turns out actually when you close
the border, more Americans get hired. That actually on the
books like what a concept. Well, and there's a direct

(10:12):
correlation with you close the southern border and American jobs
actually increased.

Speaker 18 (10:16):
There's actually a clip from Bernie Sanders in twenty fifteen
talking about how he is not for open borders. Why
because that depresses American wages. This is a very very
clear line, and you've made this point on the show
a bunch of times, and it's a point that it's
worth reiterating. Is that we are looking down the barrel
of an ai revolution, of a robotic revolution. So if
you're going to keep you know, flooding your country with

(10:38):
cheap third world labors unnecessary, you're also going to be
causing a problem down the road where those jobs no
longer exist. And that that timeframe is way closer than
most people realize.

Speaker 10 (10:48):
Here's Scott best cut one forty five talking about how
the doomsday or said it was going to be the
worst stock market ever. Again, the stock market is not
the economy. The stock market can react to economic news.
But we're seeing the stock market catch up remarkably. I
think is that the Dow was at forty one thousand
this morning. Yeah again, invest for the long term. Everybody
play cut one forty five.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
There was a story ten days ago that said this
is the worst April for the stock market since the
Great Depression. Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up
on the month of April. And I haven't seen a
story that says, oh, stock market has biggest bounce back ever.

Speaker 20 (11:25):
So it certainly has gone back and forth with let
I think a lot of this is media driven, of course,
And this is the most important clip of them all,
which is this is Joel Schilman, who's a CEO of
a company called E Shares.

Speaker 10 (11:39):
Even these CEOs believe the propaganda. They think, like, well,
the economy must be bad because everyone says the economy
is bad. So he is on the front lines of
hiring and investing, and he's even surprised to how good
the numbers are. Let's play cut forty nine.

Speaker 13 (11:53):
What's interesting the numbers, by the way, we're very I
was a little surprised to see how its the stronger
they were. But this is very encouraging because they're already
seeing many of the companies dependent upon foreign suppliers already
reshoring some of their jobs. In fact, I've talked I
talked to just recently to a couple of entrepreneurs who
are getting off their China dependency. They are going to

(12:15):
other Southeast Asia companies for their supplies, and they're starting
to look at the mass stakes and manufacturers. So they're
putting orders in already for the third and fourth quarter
for this.

Speaker 10 (12:24):
So and you combine all this together, President Trump, this
economy will only get better. And it's very important everybody,
because the media has almost been calling and cheering for
an economic collapse. I mean, can you think of anything
more sinister and more wicked than a group of people
that want Americans to suffer? They actually, if they got

(12:46):
their way, the market would go down to you know,
twenty five thousand and people would be out of work.
They see see I told you Trump is this terrible
and awful person.

Speaker 18 (12:52):
Well, it's an existential dilemma for them, though, Charlie, because
if Trump succeeds, that means their entire worldview is cast
into them.

Speaker 10 (12:58):
These are bad people. I hate to say, say it
that way, they're not patriots. If you are cheering for
the downfall of America and you're cheering for if you
want bad economic news, then you care much more about
political power than any sort of patriotic allegiance to the
United States. You wanted to play a piece of.

Speaker 18 (13:13):
Tape here, Yeah, I want to play Charles paying forty four.
One more piece of econ here. And this is talking
about manufacturing directly forty four.

Speaker 19 (13:20):
As I look at this initially, the one thing that
really jumps out to me that I love transportation and warehousing. Yeah,
pretty nine thousand. The price something is manufacturing. Some of
these deals that the White House has announced, maybe we're
starting to see that already play out.

Speaker 10 (13:38):
Well, we'll talk about it.

Speaker 18 (13:39):
I mean, this is so the White House has said
that it's over five hundred or five trillion dollars in
foreign investment in manufacturing. And by the way, speaking to
our earlier point about technology and robotics and AI, this
these are investments in warehousing, data, warehousing, energy capacity. These
are high tech and in the future from Apple and

(14:01):
Vidia and others. Soft Bank. This is this is not
like you know those images in your head of the
steel welders. Although we love the steel steel mills, don't
get me wrong. This is this is the jobs of the.

Speaker 10 (14:12):
Advanced manufacturer exactly. Okay, we got to get to one
of our partners here. We want you guys emails freedom
at Charlie Kirk dot com. This is a very breaking
news day late last night. We're going to cover this next.
President Trump signed an executive order defunding NPR and PBS.
Do we like that? Everybody? Do we like that? See,
we have a live audience here in Sandy Interactions. They
love it. And I didn't have to tell them. I

(14:34):
didn't have to ask him the clap like Jeb Bush.
They loved it. And we're also going to go deeper
into some of the other really good news of the day,
including what I thought was a phenomenal segment that Jesse
Waters did with Doge. I don't know if you guys
caught it or not. It was a really really good
picture of the super geniuses that are going through the
spending practices of our federal government. And just look, we'll

(14:54):
talk about the psychology of Elon Musk and how he
has all the money in the world and he's going
in to try to make our government or efficient, and
that makes you a villain in modern America. I want
to tell our audience about Alan Jackson. Alan Jackson Ministries
are great supporters of our program. I want to point
you to their podcast. This is the Culture in Christianity,

Speaker 10 (15:57):
Okay, everybody, we are here live in beautiful San Diego
with our wonderful turning point. You say, supporters We're also
live on Real America's Voice right now and all of
our platforms. We had an amazing event yesterday at University California,
San Diego. We're going to talk about that. Thousands of people.
Did anyone go there? Attend there? You are a brave
soul and so one person. It Wasn't it great? Though?
It was incredible. If you have not seen the campus energy,

(16:19):
you have got to you have got to go to
one of these campus events. Wasn't it worthwhile? I mean,
to see this it's hard. I could show up a
picture and I could show you look at the pictures
are fine, but to actually see it firsthand, it is
a game changer on these liberal college campuses. And actually
the sponsor of these campus tours that has allowed us
to actually do more is why ref I encourage you
guys to check it out. It's why refi dot com.

(16:41):
Why are ef y? Do I think they're here? Somewhere
is laying here, he's around here, But anyway they have.
We went to them, we said, hey, we want to
do the most ambitious campus to wherever. Here's what's going
to cost and they said we want to underwrite them.
So God bless them for that. You guys could check
it out. They do private student loan debt refinancing, which
a lot of these students have student loan debt. Unfortunately,
you guys could check it out at why refi dot com.
That is why ore e f y dot com. In fact,

next week. Stay right there, everybody, All right, everybody, welcome back.

(17:28):
Email us as always freedom at Charliekirk dot com. We're
here live in beautiful San Diego at our supporter Retreat,
Friends of Turning Point USA Retreat. Late last night, President
Donald Trump signed a I would say, a pretty ambitious
executive order, one that I truly appreciate, which is he
defunded n PR. I gotta do that in your NPR voice.

Speaker 18 (17:51):
It's amazing that you don't even have to call there's
no APPLI sign here.

Speaker 10 (17:55):
Now I'm gonna do that in my NPR voice. Exciting
you See. I always say that it is NPR is
left wing radicalism, said very smoothly.

Speaker 18 (18:08):
It's like it's like laundered in I know they launder
in the radic.

Speaker 10 (18:12):
Well, welcome everybody to the NPR broadcast.

Speaker 18 (18:14):
Wouldn't it be nice if it's capitalism was no more?

Speaker 10 (18:17):
Could you? Did you know you're a racist? Buy a totebag?

Speaker 18 (18:22):
Did you hear that white people are awful?

Speaker 10 (18:24):
Exactly? Let's go cut. Do we have a cut, cut,
Let's go cut. Five oh seven. President Trump defunding NPR
and PBS.

Speaker 21 (18:33):
President Trump is looking to slash funding for NPR and
PBS a legend bias in their news reporting. The President
signing an executive order on Thursday directing several agencies to
stop federal funding for the public broadcasters. That order also
calls for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to root out
indirect sources of public financing. For PBS and NPR both

(18:57):
get about half a billion dollars in public funds.

Speaker 10 (19:02):
Not time out now. Defunding is also one way to
put it. But here's my challenge to NPR. Go raise
your own money. Like Turning Point, USA has to raise money.
You see, you gotta go, you gotta go meet your
own donors. You got to go talk to people just
don't go to the US taxpayer and have us subsidize
your radicalism. And so I think about that, that's half
a billion dollars.

Speaker 18 (19:22):
I mean I think NPR and PBS are completely redundant. Anyways,
you already have New York Times, right, I mean.

Speaker 10 (19:28):
What do we need? What do we need?

Speaker 18 (19:30):
NPR and PBS.

Speaker 10 (19:31):
The problem with PBS.

Speaker 18 (19:32):
PBS used to have some good stuff.

Speaker 10 (19:33):
Is that PBS is able to get into child environments
because it's PBS with incredibly sexually explicit content that is
now at least laced in this trans insanity and this
radicalism and the critical theory. But look, NPR, NPR especially
has become It's too bad because I actually remember a
different NPR growing up. I mean, there was still liberal,

(19:56):
but it was at least like entertaining. I mean, you guys,
remember Garrison Keel was like little house on that little
house on the prairie. Was that what was called the
was was that what it was a little house on
the prairie, right, No, it was what prairie home. Companion
was close. He was from man Cato, Minnesota, if I
remember correctly, right, And that was somewhat listenable. And then wait, wait,

(20:18):
Don't Tell Me was a pretty good show if you
guys remember on NPR, And then they had the car
Show every Saturday morning, which right, you know, and what
I'm talking about like, and now you listen to NPR
and they might still have these shows. But this is
what's important. NPR was really smart. They took the tax
payer money and they diversified into podcasting. And NPR podcasts
are very popular because they have five hundred million dollars

(20:40):
to produce it and they are like unspeakably radical. That
sounds like they should be making money. Then Charlie, well,
that's right. But here's the thing. So the third biggest
podcast out there is NPR. We right now are on
the on the charts, were number nine, which is great
in Apple News. And just so we're clear, I go
through NPR's list, like the list of their episodes continued
crack down on immigration, Trump defies the law. I mean,

(21:02):
it's so outrageous. And so if you want to go
do that, NPR, you got to sell a lot more
tote bags if you want to finance yourself. And that's fine.
This is this is my position with Harvard. No one's
saying you can't exist. Go raise your own money, go
to donors like we do on the conservative side, and
go convince people to voluntarily give you money.

Speaker 18 (21:21):
You know what would happen if PBS and NPR had
to start, you know, doing making money and justifying their
own existence. You'd get classics like ken Burns Baseball. Come on,
that was actually fantastic. If you have if do we
have any baseball fans out here in the audience, come on,
now give me some all right, thank you?

Speaker 10 (21:37):
So ken Burns and Baseball.

Speaker 18 (21:38):
They replay this stuff still because it's still their most
popular content as opposed to their more radical stuff.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
But yeah, and like The New York Times is not
publicly financed, and they do fine. They have a subscription
based model, and I do not. Here's the theory they
know this NPR is so redundant. What niche are they
really feeling other than they're just more left wing noise?
And I will say this, if the Republicans in Congress
fail to defund NPR PBS, because Trump can only do

(22:04):
so much by an executive order, that will be one
of the easiest failures that we have seen from a
Republican Congress. Could you imagine if five hundred million dollars
of taxpayer money was going to Breitbart, Turning Point USA
or the Charlie Kirks. So they would never the Democrats
would never put up with it. But that is an equivalent.
And another funny thing is they often say it almost

(22:24):
gets no money, so this is pointless. Okay, So what's
the hold up if they say, like, well, we don't
get that much money. I'm sorry. Five hundred million dollars
is a lot of money when you're running a media
operation every single year. Every year you get five hundred
million dollars. Not to mention, during all the Floyda Paluza
stuff Post twenty twenty, their articles about the looting and
the rioting was so outrageous, was so out of the norm,

(22:49):
and so I gotta be honest, I love this. It
might not be a ton of money in the grand
scheme of things, but beyond that, the rebalancing of the
American narrative war that this would do is remarkable. Think
about how conservative this country could become if we weren't
subsidizing the Democrat Party with our own taxpayer funding to

(23:10):
have them have a bigger microphone than they actually should have.

Speaker 22 (23:13):
We'll be right back everybody.

Speaker 11 (23:23):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. One hundred days in and President Trump is
reshuffling the talent that he's assembled in his administration. He's
moving National Security Advisor Mike Waltz from that position to
the United Nations after nominating the former Florida congressman to
be the next US Ambassador to the UN. For the

(23:43):
time being, Secretary of State Mark or Rubio will serve
as Waltz's interim replacement. This will mark the first time
since the nineteen seventies that one person will serve both
the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. Both positions
are top administration assignments, taken a true social On Thursday,
President Trump clearing up reports that Waltz was forced out

(24:04):
of the White House following his part in the Signal
Gate controversy. Quote from his time and uniform on the
battlefield in Congress and as my National Security Advisor, Mike
Waltz has worked hard to put our nation's interests first.
I know he will do the same in his new role.
That's a great check off your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates.

(24:33):
This July there's a Global Summit of Bricks Nations in

Speaker 1 (25:57):
The hardest working radio show in the business. Then Charlie Kirkshaw.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
Okay, everybody, welcome back. We are here live with our
amazing friends here in beautiful San Diego, and it is
it's great to see all of you. For those of
you watching on Real America's Voice Around Radio, these are
the top most generous people of Turning Point USA and
they help make everything we do possible. And many of
them are gonna have questions coming up in the second hour,
and so we're looking forward to that. And so what
we say thank you to everyone in the audience and

(26:26):
also to the people in the virtual audience watching right now.
You know, we have over four hundred thousand people that
give money to Turning Point USA. Isn't that amazing? Four
hundred thousand people? And so we say thank you to
everyone from the five dollar donor to the ten dollar
donor on upwards. From there. We're very, very excited. So
I want to talk about one of our partners here
and then we're going to talk about Doze and MPR.

(26:46):
We got a lot to talk about, but I have
to play this piece of tape. So, as you guys now,
over the last year, we really decided to start posting
a lot more on TikTok and reaching billions and billions
of people. Your grandkids might watch us on these social
media channels. And so this is one that has literally,
I think it's thirty million views at least eleven million
on TikTok, and I get accused a lot of not

(27:08):
a lot, Charlie. You interrupt the people you talk to
too much, which is not correct, and so you be
the judge. Did I interrupt her too much? Play cut
five seventeen of this viral video on TikTok.

Speaker 23 (27:19):
Are you actually gonna let me talk for longer than
five seconds?

Speaker 10 (27:22):
Go ahead?

Speaker 23 (27:23):
You keep interrupting me every time I actually try to
Every time I try to actually explain my point and
have a reasonable conversation with you, you cut me off.
I was trying to explain, you cut me off. Started
talking about something completely different. You started bringing up random

(27:47):
stats and random facts. So try to make me look super.

Speaker 10 (27:54):
Isn't that great?

Speaker 18 (27:58):
Your face is the best, but come on continue.

Speaker 10 (28:01):
So TikTok is also helping out here the Tarlie Kirkshaw.
I want you guys check out TikTok economic impact dot com.
A lot of small business owners are on TikTok. I'll
be honest. We have gone so viral on this platform,
reaching the next generation away that we never thought was possible,
Right Andrew, we found it. But over seven and a
half million businesses from family on shops, entrepreneurs are using
TikTok to compete and grow. You have to go where

(28:22):
the people are, and we've certainly gone very viral there,
viral there. Check it out at TikTok economic impact dot com. Okay,
let's uh, let's close the thought on NPR here and
let me just I made a point in the break
that I think is important. When you do not have
to raise your own money, you don't have to earn it,
and therefore you don't have to you don't have to
actually have the best possible product, which allows you to
become super radical. And so if NPR actually had to

(28:45):
go to donors, donors would ask the question, well, what
do you do, why do you exist? What is your impact? Instead,
they just go to Congress, specifically Democrat members of Congress,
and they say I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do
air cover for you and for your agenda.

Speaker 18 (28:59):
You have a They feel entitled too. Yeah, this is
this is great. So throw five thirteen on the screen, please.
So this is an article from NPR and here's the headline.
Trump says he's ending federal funding for NPR and PBS.

Speaker 10 (29:14):
They say he can't. This is and are reporting itself
in the third person. In the third person, it's like.

Speaker 18 (29:22):
They say that if they is you, why don't you
just say we think this is bad?

Speaker 10 (29:26):
You know, this is them trying to be like, no,
we're objective journalists, So I'm going to say that the
third person day this is. This is the height of absurdity.

Speaker 18 (29:34):
But here it gets even more absurd because Catherine Marr
is the head of NPR, and this is a clip
from her and she's she's a radical who is trying
to kind of whitewash some of her past.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
But you can't you can't hide these clips. The internet
is forever five fifteen.

Speaker 24 (29:52):
The number one challenge here that we see is, of course,
the First Amendment in the United States, for is a
fairly robot protection of rights, and that is a protection
of rights both for platforms, which I actually think is
very important that platforms have those rights to be able
to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites.
But it also means that it is a little bit

(30:14):
tricky you really address some of the real challenges of
where does bad information come from and sort of the
influenced pedlers who have made a real market economy around it.

Speaker 18 (30:26):
So this is the head of NPR saying that the
First Amendment is a real problem for publishers. So she's
anti American, she's anti free speech, and this is subsidized
by taxpayers. And here's the last point I'm going to make, Charlie.
The Democrats say this is an earmark of dictatorship that
you're trying to play, you know, winners and losers in

(30:49):
the media space. No, the earmark of a dictatorship and
of authoritarian regime is that you have state sponsored media
that says what you want it to say.

Speaker 10 (30:57):
And that's what they have. Let's just be clear, why
is it that Canada has struggled to have an equivalent
right wing movement because they have CBC, the Canadian Broadcast
in Corporation, which is all publicly financed, and it is
so so left wing, and also the BBC, the British
Broadcasting Corporation, same sort of thing. So when you have
these instruments, these organs that are funded by taxpayers. Now, thankfully,

(31:20):
in America we are still a semblance of a free society.
That and the First Amendment is our birthright. The reason
we're able to push back on this nonsense is we're
able to speak freely without the threat of imprisonment. But
in these other countries, they are the predominant. They are
the predominant news organization. It's very similar to Pravda in
the Soviet Union. Prov they're literally meant truth in Russian
where you weren't able to question it. And NPR thankfully

(31:43):
has been flailing, but don't underestimate their influence. What they've
been able to do on podcasting is legitimate because they
poured so much money into it, and there's no reason
why taxpayers should subsidize it. Do you have that other
clip of the congressional testimony. If not, we can move
on to Dosh.

Speaker 18 (31:55):
Yeah, we we probably do. I'm not sure what it is,
but there is another there is another element to this.
I don't know if you guys saw this, but Germany.
Just today the news, Yeah, I mean that is that
they have now the intelligence community in Germany has now
labeled a f D alternative for deutsch Land Germany as

(32:16):
a radical entity. So this allows them now to harass
a f D, to censor them, to basically surveil them,
and essentially criminalize their their activities. Correct, And so a
f D is now the most popular party in Germany.
It is it's essentially the closest equivalent that we have
to maga if you will. It's a nationalist party. But

(32:37):
in Germany they have all the you know, the the
vestiges of World War Two hanging over them. They are
they've lost their confidence in that. So they instantly say, oh,
we got a Nazi, a fascist party.

Speaker 10 (32:49):
That's not what this is.

Speaker 18 (32:50):
This is like strong borders, anti you know, open borders parties,
very maga in spirit and in tone, and now it's
probably criminalized.

Speaker 10 (32:59):
This is, by the way, why are we still subsidizing
Germany if they're locking up and potentially criminalizing opposition political parties.
They say that America is a threat to democracy. Europe
is no longer the democratic beacon on the hill that
they say they are, and they haven't been for quite
some time. Let's play cut four ninety four.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
A little bit of breaking news coming into us from Germany.
The Reuters news agency is reporting that the country's domestic
intelligence agency has classified the Alternative for Germany Party as
an extremist entity that threatens democracy, a move that enables
it to better monitor the party, which came second, of course,

(33:37):
in February's federal election.

Speaker 10 (33:40):
Now, and I want to just this is what would
have happened. I Kamala Harris would have been come president. Everybody.
If Kamala Harris was in the White House right now,
turning point, USA would be recognized as an official extremist organization.
They were already spying on groups like ours. They are
already trying to infiltrate US. And it's amazing how on
July thirteenth, not only did Donald Trump dodge bullet, but

(34:00):
America dodge the bullet too, preventing Kamala Harris from becoming
president of the United States. Because we look at what's happening
in Canada, these other countries are not becoming freer societies
because America's course correcting, They're doubling down on becoming unfree
to talitarian countries, and it's chilling in Germany. If you
say something that's considered racist online, they will raid your home,

(34:23):
They will take your devices, and you will file you
will face prison time. What is considered to be racist?
If you question mass migration, If you say that immigrants
are making Germany not as nice as a place, they
could raid your home. Question you know that's right. If
you say that Muslim immigration might be which of course
it is. Everybody we know that it's a problem in Germany.
If you say that they will come and not can

(34:44):
we get that piece of tape? Actually, I think it's
really important. But every day I wake up and I
just say thank you God to that Donald Trump as president,
because I look at these other Western countries and they
are becoming more and more radical. They're becoming more and
more extreme. In the United Kingdom, where I'm actually going
to go debate at Oxford soon, they're putting people in

(35:06):
prison and in jail for making documentaries for challenging the
status quote. And I hope Americans, especially American conservatives, can
understand that the trajectory is away from speech and away
from quote unquote liberal democracy and think about how insane
that clip as you just watched. Well, we're going to
punish the most popular political party because it's a threat

(35:27):
to democracy. Oh really, so what the people want is
a threat to democracy. Every time you hear the word democracy,
you must replace it with oligarchy. Now, let me restate
that statement. We must now lock up and penalize the
top political party because it's a threat to our oligarchy.
Now it starts to make sense. When they say democracy,

(35:47):
they really mean oligarchy.

Speaker 18 (35:49):
Well, and they view the election of Donald Trump as
a cautionary tale because America was unsuccessful and clamping down
on the speech.

Speaker 10 (35:56):
We are the one that got away. Yeah, every other
Western government right now has become less free. From France,
from Germany, UK, I mean from Brazil. Brazil is an
unfree Come your follow what's happening in Brazil. They're gonna
they're basically killing Bolsonnaro right now in medically controlled hospital.
I encourage you guys to, you know, listen to our
program because we cover this stuff because the mainstream media

(36:19):
here in America doesn't really cover what's happening in these
other countries. And it is it is an exceptional moment
that we live in the United States of America. Do
we have the clip here? Is it loaded up?

Speaker 18 (36:28):
One second? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (36:30):
Yeah, okay, So I want to just preface this. This
is just one of hundreds of clips we could play.
This is sixty minutes that went to Germany. This is
the Stazi, the secret police in Germany, doing midnight raids
on young people, taking their devices and then putting them
potentially in jail because they said stuff on the internet wrong.
Think that was wrong. This is where this is where

(36:51):
Western democracies are going. What is it?

Speaker 23 (36:54):
Uh?

Speaker 10 (36:55):
Five eighteen? Play it.

Speaker 25 (36:58):
It's six oh one on a Tuesday morning, and we
were with state police as they raided this apartment in
northwest Germany. Inside Kim inside six armed officers searched to
suspects home, then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors
say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime,

(37:21):
the crime posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact
same time, across Germany.

Speaker 26 (37:29):
Zooms to the born, more than fifty similar raids played out,
part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to
curb online hate speech in Germany.

Speaker 10 (37:43):
Guys, this is Germany, This is not Ghana. This is
a country we subsidized with our taxpair dollars, by the way,
and military, our military, and they did fifty six am
raids against people that posted racist cartoons for breaking the law.
This is what Kamala Harris wanted to bring to the
United States of America.

Speaker 18 (37:59):
And by by the way, it's who knows if it's
really racist.

Speaker 10 (38:02):
No, by by the way, of course, I mean just
their definition what is racist is. And by the way,
being racist is not a crime. Let's just keep on
repeating that. Okay, you're allowed to be unseemly, you're allowed
to push boundaries, you're allowed to say things that might
be improper. That is what free speech is all about.
But free speech is not a German value, and free
speech is not a European value. And so just to
re re reiterate that, you have to wonder you might

(38:23):
as well put the Berlin Wall back up. At this point,
he's like the Berlin Wall fellon who actually won? Did
liberty win or did communism win? Because that's not what
the promise of the fall of the Berlin Wall was.
But what we are getting at, which is very important.
The fundamental point is that we in America are actually
trending in the right direction. These other countries are going
in the wrong direction. And we have this island now,

(38:45):
this island of liberty surrounded by totalitarianism. Canada is just
as bad. I want to tell you guys about one

Speaker 11 (40:10):
One of the most exciting and encouraging developments in politics
in the last few years has been the incredible success
of Charlie Kirk's organization.

Speaker 10 (40:17):
Charlie Kirk is running his own political operation and a
giant media operation.

Speaker 11 (40:24):
They're getting people active in politics.

Speaker 10 (40:26):
For the first time, but conservative politics. When I go
to these campuses and we're drawing these huge crowds, we're
saying the stuff you're not allowed to say. We are
the rebellion type energy.

Speaker 18 (40:34):
He must be so thirsty for me.

Speaker 17 (40:36):
Of course, this last week, I guess you were at
USC you were at University of Florida, A thousands and
thousands of folks when you go to these college campuses.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I love watching your TikTok, which is a nice level,
and clearly that's expressed by my thirteen year old.

Speaker 10 (40:47):
Son, I want to meet this guy.

Speaker 7 (40:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
My daughter Sophia who's thirteen, heard Charlie Kirk was going
to be nearby and she said, Dad, could you get.

Speaker 10 (40:54):
Me a photo with Charlie Kirk? And I said, yeah,
I know, Charlie.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
She goes, you know, Charlie Kirk, why are.

Speaker 27 (41:00):
People coming out to see you on campuses and what
kind of response do you get.

Speaker 10 (41:04):
The crowds alone, we're drawing crowds of three four five
thousand people, or we are drawing people outside of the
campuses that were well, there's electricians and plumbers and the
working men that heard that we were in town and
they know they hear on social media.

Speaker 23 (41:15):
People.

let's set the sage here.

Speaker 18 (42:16):
So Jesse Waters got an exclusive invite to go sit
in on a DOGE meeting. Now, they don't do these
meetings at normal business hours because they never stopped working.
This team is a bunch of geniuses that all they
do all night and all.

Speaker 10 (42:30):
Day is work.

Speaker 18 (42:31):
On fixing really rudimentary problems like, oh, do the databases
talk to each other? Is there a tech issue that's
you know, that's allowing waste, fraud and abuse. This was
at ten PM. They did a round table all these
super geniuses that have built their own businesses or are
dropped out of Harvard or whatever, and he's brought them
together to solve some of the most confounding problems in our.

Speaker 10 (42:50):
Fat And I just want to reiterate, you know, how
thankful we should be that we have the smartest young
people on the planet that want to go into our
government make it more efficient. Do you know how they've
been treated by the media there, Yeah, it should be applauded, right, yea,
how they've been treated. Their public information has been made
and their private informations have made public. They've been docked
so many death threats, They've been hunted and followed in

(43:12):
the streets. The media relentlessly is going after the personal
information of these young people. I mean, these are wicked
and wicked operators in the media. So how about this one.
Let's play cut four ninety six. When I say they're
super geniuses, I mean these I've met these young cut
these young kids remarkable play cut four ninety six.

Speaker 5 (43:30):
Just a few hours after we got into their headquarters,
we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over
a terabyte of accounting records from SERA leaders. So you'd
have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do
that if the Dose team fortunately was able to recover
that data with the help of a few great employees
at the Institute of Peace. And I think the most
troubling thing was they received fifty five million dollars a
year from Congress, and any money that went unspent, instead

(43:51):
of returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into
a private bank account which had no Congressional oversight, and
that's what they would use to fund things like events
that they had.

Speaker 8 (44:00):
And the private.

Speaker 10 (44:01):
Jets sounds illegal, doesn't it. Private jets? Yeah, it sounds
the illegal.

Speaker 18 (44:10):
The other things that that came out of this discussion,
just mind you is our founders established essentially four agencies
of the federal government. Today we have four hundred four hundred.
So you were hearing him talk about the was it
the Institute of Peace, which is another sort of smaller agency,
And it's just the amount of bloat is tremendous.

Speaker 10 (44:30):
I want to get to this one. This is for eighty.
Elon Musk reveals Department Education. We're using taxpayer dollars to
rent out stadiums play Cup four.

Speaker 8 (44:37):
Eighty Department of Education.

Speaker 15 (44:39):
And there was no receipts required, so people who just
drawed down on it, and people looked into it. This
wasn't just this was before us. They found that money
was being used to rent out Caesars Palace for parties,
rent out stadiums, et cetera. And so the one change
that Doge made with Ourt Education is we had the
simple requirement that if you draw down money, you must
first upload a receipt. That was the only change that

(45:01):
was made. You must upload your receipt. And upon doing so, yes,
nobody drew down any money anymore.

Speaker 14 (45:07):
But as soon as we ask for anything at all,
that or something, the requests were like, oh, we don't
need it anymore.

Speaker 18 (45:13):
Uh, that's interesting.

Speaker 10 (45:17):
No one's ever asked them questions. I want to play
this one. This is one of the super geniuses who
dropped out of Harvard play cut four ninety three.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
I dropped out of Harvard and came here to serve
my country and it's been unfortunate to see, you know,
lost friendships. Most of campus hates to be now. But
I think fundamentally, I hope people realize through conversations like
this that reform is genuinely.

Speaker 10 (45:40):
Needed and we're running out of time. But I do
want This is just a montage of Democrats going after
trying to make the government more efficient. Think about that
play cut forty two.

Speaker 11 (45:53):
Unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the
federal government.

Speaker 10 (45:59):
This mash and grab by Elon Musk is gonna stop.

Speaker 16 (46:03):
This is the most corrupt bargain we've ever seen in
American history.

Speaker 10 (46:12):
Honestly, I just want to reiterate it. We are so lucky,
We are so blessed that not only Trump won, but
he empowered Elon Musk. And every day, every day, when
you guys are worrying about the country, you have the
brightest minds imaginable that are literally working twenty four seven.
These guys do not sleep. They do not sleep all.
They sleep like two or three hours a night. They
have these like sleep pods that Elon brought into the
White House. I don't know if you guys heard this.

(46:33):
They do, they do ninety minutes asleep at a time,
three times a day. That's it. And these guys are
all up and their only focus is to make sure
that your tax payer money is better spent. And I
just can't say how thankful we are nor the country
has this going on right now and it is a
phenomenal development for the well being of our republic. Okay,
coming up in the second hour, Aire, we be taking

(46:54):
questions from all of you guys. Email us Freedom at
Charliekirk dot com.

Speaker 22 (46:57):
We'll be right back everybody.

Speaker 11 (47:17):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bades. Thieves are stealing homes from right underneath homeowners
while they're still in it. My next guest is helping
protect you from being a victim, though he's qualified to
do so because he once was the crook who committed
title theft and mortgage fraud. His crimes landed him on
the Secret Services most wanted list and thirteen years in prison.

(47:40):
Now Matthew Cox is using his powers for good and
serving as a public educator for home title Like Matthew,
welcome to the show.

Speaker 8 (47:49):
Oh thank you, thanks for having me.

Speaker 11 (47:51):
I hate that that's the introduction, but that is the reality,
which I think does qualify you. Ought to help protect
people who might be dealing with this. Explain how it
all starts, lain how people begin to become victims.

Speaker 28 (48:05):
You know, unfortunately you don't. You don't actually have to
do anything. You just have to own a home, and
someone like myself could drive through the neighborhood, get your address,
look up your address on public records.

Speaker 8 (48:19):
They could create a a.

Speaker 28 (48:21):
Transfer of deed or a warranty deed in their name,
file the deed, and then they can sell your house
or borrow against your house, even if you have a
mortgage on the house. If the victim had a mortgage
on their house, I would simply create a satisfaction of
mortgage from their mortgage company, and now they don't have
a mortgage. I would transfer the title out of the

(48:44):
true homer's name into someone else's name, and then I
could refinance the house, or sell the house, or do
pretty much whatever I wanted to the house, even even
if the homeowner was in the house.

Speaker 11 (48:56):
You know, as I'm listening to you describe how people
would be victims is this sort of crime, The thing
that comes to mind is they've got to be some
sort of safeguards in place to keep this from happening.
Someone shouldn't just be able to go into the county
Recorder's office forge all these documents without some sort of
check from the county Recorder's office to safeguard me as

(49:17):
a potential victim.

Speaker 28 (49:20):
That would be nice, wouldn't it. You would think that's
how it's supposed to work, but it just doesn't. The
information is available online. Anybody can go search the information,
get the information. They can apply for a mortgage. You
do not get notified. The only way you would get
notified as a homeowner that there was a change to
your title or that this crime is being committed is

(49:43):
if you had your title monitored by a service.

Speaker 8 (49:46):
That service would notify you.

Speaker 11 (49:49):
And that's where Home Title Lot comes in. Correct.

Speaker 28 (49:52):
Absolutely. Home Title Lock is a company that I work with.
They're amazing, and what I like about them is that
they do a lot more than just notify you. Once
they notify you, they'll hire an attorney that will actually
protect you and work work for you in order to
correct any problems that have occurred.

Speaker 8 (50:14):
So if someone like me comes along and.

Speaker 28 (50:16):
Takes out a three mortgages on your house and borrows
half a million dollars on your.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
House home title.

Speaker 28 (50:22):
Lock will will help you with the authorities with public records.
They'll file the paperwork, they'll do the whole court proceedings
to correct that. You know, that type of situation as
far as your title is concerned. Because let's face it,
if if you're some guy that you know works a
regular job, you don't know how to how to fix this.

Speaker 11 (50:43):
And how long does the process typically take to get
your name and your title back if you will.

Speaker 8 (50:50):
It depends on the court.

Speaker 28 (50:51):
It could be it could be ninety days, it could
be a year. It depends on the court, what county
you're in. You know, the important thing is is to
it is to be able to be notified and have
an advocate on your side to help you kind of
weather the storm and get through the process. Because a
lot of people think the law enforcement will do that.

(51:13):
The law enforcement is ill equipped typically to handle this situation.

Speaker 11 (51:18):
Unfortunately, since you were on the inside, you were an
inside man. If you will on these crimes, I'll put
into perspective for us how prevalent this kind of thing is.
Is this kind of a one off, it's something unique,
or is this something that we're seeing happen daily really
quickly thirty seconds.

Speaker 28 (51:34):
Yeah, So with it's funny with when I was doing it,
it was it was a very rare crime. But in
the last decade or two it has absolutely exploded, and
it is happening all the time, and it is much
easier of a crime to commit now than it was
fifteen years ago when I was doing it.

Speaker 11 (51:55):
All right, well, we appreciate your expertise. Thanks for being
here with us, folks. All the information you need is
right there on your screen Home title lot dot com.

Speaker 10 (52:25):
Okay, everybody, welcome back. We are here, live and beautiful
San Diego with our wonderful Turning Point USA supporters for her
and watching on Real America's Voice or on radio that
we're here. And maybe you say, how do I get
invited to such an amazing thing as that? Well you
can go to TPUSA dot com and support the great
work we're doing, and you very well might show up
at one of these great events. We're gonna take questions

(52:46):
live from all of our great supporters. Lorraine, what is
on your mind? And thank you so much for your
great support.

Speaker 29 (52:51):
Hey, Charlie, I'm just curious your thoughts on Gavin Newsom
made the announcement that California is already doing Dodge only better.

Speaker 10 (53:01):
Are they? So, Andrew, you're a native Californian, I'm not native. Well,
you're a Californian.

Speaker 18 (53:08):
I'm a parasitic species to the people of a California.
I'm an invasive specie.

Speaker 10 (53:15):
What is he doing, Doge? Of course he's not.

Speaker 18 (53:19):
No, this is laughable on its face. Yeah, he just
I mean, this is you saw this with I mean,
Gavin Newsom puts his finger in the air and sees
which way the wind's blowing and says, oh, I can
get I can get on that train. And so he
he's actually pretty level headed when you meet him in person,
and he'll kind of come to your frequency, to your level.

(53:40):
And so I think he just sees the way the
political movement is going and he wants to get out
ahead of it. And and of course he's not gonna
do that. You cannot do anything sensible in the state
of California without being sued up left, right and center,
without being without having this commission getting the way of
that and this committee getting the way of that. Of
course he's not doing this. And by the way, nobody
is flocking to Gavin Newsom sides like they would Elon

(54:03):
Musk with the brain power and the patriotism and the
sensibility that you would need to get.

Speaker 10 (54:07):
And again, people vote with their feet. People are leaving
the state in record numbers as the highest housing up prices,
highest cost of living, most homelessness and so and also
the greatest wealth disparity of any state in the country.
It is harder than ever for regular middle class people
to get ahead here in the state. And so I
don't know what they're going to doze in the state
of California. But Gavin Newsom's then nothing but protect the

(54:28):
special interest in California. God bless you, Lorraine, Thank you
all right, Bernadette, what is on your mind? God bless
I love the shirt.

Speaker 30 (54:35):
Turning pointe USA shirt. Speaking of parasites. I was just wondering,
how do you feel about changing the word abortion back
to its original name termination of pregnancy and how that
will maybe pop some neurons on all these college campuses
that you're going to leads to the next question, were
you ever a pregnancy? Were you part of a pregnancy?

Speaker 18 (54:57):
What is a pregnancy?

Speaker 30 (54:58):
And then it can open a big door because the
third party insurance companies changed it to the benign word
abortion so they could get more of them. They wiped
out the word termination of pregnancy because I was a
nurse before I was a doctor at that time, and
they made us change it on the admission sheets. Just
your thoughts.

Speaker 10 (55:15):
I haven't thought that deeply about you know, Blake on
our show, Blake disagrees. In the chat, he says he
thinks the opposite, and so you guys can debate on that.

Speaker 18 (55:23):
Off God, get him later.

Speaker 10 (55:24):
You'll get him later. Great. He says people do not
actually like abortion as a word. He thinks termination is
a euphanism. He thinks it's backwards. I haven't thought that
deeply about this, have you, Andrew?

Speaker 18 (55:36):
No, that being said, I think both terminate and abort.
I mean the pro choice movement, it doesn't say they're
pro abortion, right, So we like to throw that back
into their face and say you're the pro abortion movement.
They hate that already.

Speaker 30 (55:50):
I just want to throw the word pregnancy.

Speaker 18 (55:52):
Back in Yeah, well I do like that. It's interesting.
I just did a quick Google search of the definition
of pregnancy because I was curious what it would say.
It says pregnancy is the state of carrying a developing
feeder at fetus in utero.

Speaker 17 (56:03):
There you go.

Speaker 18 (56:04):
Well, it's but it's not a I mean, fetus is
a little baby basically. So yeah, I mean the whole
dialogue is filled with euphemisms. You know, kind of reminds
me of like, you know, adultery. No, it's like you're
having sex with somebody else and that's not nice. So
when you use the harsher words, it really brings the
truth down. So whatever that that combination of words that

(56:26):
really brings the truth home to that person. I'm all for.

Speaker 10 (56:29):
Thank you, God, bless you, Bernadette. Talk to you soon.
Thank you. Okay, next question.

Speaker 24 (56:34):
Yes, we have a new friend named Madison here with
the question.

Speaker 10 (56:36):
Okay, great, Hi Madison, how are you.

Speaker 23 (56:38):
Hi.

Speaker 31 (56:39):
I'm doing well, Thanks, how are you great?

Speaker 10 (56:41):
Thank you wonderful.

Speaker 31 (56:42):
I'm a mom of four. I'm a native California and
I've lived here my whole life besides college, and my
kids go to a public charter school, thank God. And however,
I know in the United States we have failing schools,
we have failing test scores, we have failing public education
in general. The dropout rate is skyrocketing. And so how

(57:05):
would you saying that the United States is the best
country in the entire world? How would you explain that?

Speaker 10 (57:11):
You know, it's actually interesting if you are education is
way better if you take out a certain portion of
the population, which is people without fathers, specifically in urban areas.
Our education actually at the top level is really really good.
But look, I mean you are diagnosing a serious problem,
which is our public education system is a catastrophe, right,

(57:34):
and it has been for quite some time. Our private
education is the envy of the world and continues to be.
We do private education better than almost anybody else on
the planet, especially classical education and even more so Christian education.
But the main reason why are why is government run
education so terrible? And there's a lot of factors into this,
but public sector teacher unions I believe have done more

(57:58):
damage to America than the Ola drug cartel, and I
believe public sector teacher unions are the true cartel that
are holding kids back in the country in this in
this country, and so second to that, this is why
I'm really happy that Texas pass school choice and Arizona
has school choice. We need full school choice that parents
can actually choose what school they want to send their
kids to and not be locked into the local failing

(58:20):
public school. I did a tweet the other day, and
I just let's find that it was about school choice.
Where there are thirty schools in Illinois, thirty in Chicago
where not a single kid can read at grade level
or do math. Let me just tell you a very
basic truism. Unless you are Michael Jordan, unless you are
Lebron James, if you cannot read by fifth grade, you're

(58:44):
probably going to jail. That's literally, I mean go to jail,
or you're going to live just a very sad life.
What happens is we have millions of people that are illiterate,
literally illiterate. They go to school every single day, and
they are doing something called failing forward. So Mississippi, this
is it's called the Mississippi miracle. Mississippi had had some

(59:06):
of the worst schools in the country, and they changed
a lot, but one of the things that they changed
was a super simple practice which the left hates. No
more failing forward.

Speaker 18 (59:17):
That's it.

Speaker 10 (59:18):
And so Mississippi half of the state is very poor,
black half the state. So fifty percent of Mississippi is black,
half of it is white. In approximation, I think it's
like thirty or forty percent, but it's one of the
highest black populations in the country. And it goes to
show bait and so all the left was like, this
is racist. You must fail forward, and Mississippi said, no,
we're not going to So what is failing forward. It
means that by the time you're in second grade, if

(59:38):
you can't read, you can't progress the third grade. You're
going to keep on repeating second grade until you can read.
So what happens is sometimes you had to redo second
grade two or three times. And Mississippi went from like
forty fifth of education in the country to now top
five in proficiency in reading. That simple it's called the
Mississippi Miracle. Can you get the data? And I will,

(59:59):
I will, yeah, Sissippi miracle. Can you just yeah yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:00:02):
It refers to the remarkable improvement Mississippis student reading scores,
particularly in fourth grade, over a relatively short period of time.
The state's reading scores, once among the lowest in the nation,
have are now amongst the top. So that happened virtually overnight.
And what's interesting is that it's at third grade. They
hold a ton of kids back at third grade, and

(01:00:22):
so if you're just not cutting it, the teachers can
see it and they hold you.

Speaker 10 (01:00:25):
So ten percent of all kids in Mississippi were held
back a third grade. Ten percent. That's what needs to
happen in the country. If we get rid of fail forward,
our education gap with all these other countries would change dramatically.
So it's it's not that our education system is terrible.
Partially it is in government, it's just the way we
do it. Think about why would you be allowed to
advance into another grade if you don't are at that

(01:00:46):
grade level. Finally, let me just add two more things
to this. If you are trying to teach a kid
to read, phonics is the way to do it. We
have phonics is the way to do it. And thank
you for the applause. That means you are a very
elevated audience. Honestly, because when I say that to some
place that they say, what the heck are you talking about?
So phonics has been removed from our schools completely because

(01:01:10):
of why really, lazy teachers, I'm gonna be honest, lazy
teachers don't like it. They're like, oh, it's too much work.
Phonics is We're gonna go to some other ways. And
so teachers find phonics unexciting. Well, too bad. It works,
It is kind of tedious. It's the best way to
get kids to learn to read. They want to do
flashy and trendy stuff and they don't want to get

(01:01:32):
into proven practices. I'm gonna read this tweet here. Twenty
twenty four Illinois data. Not a single child tested proficient
in math in eighty schools. Eighty schools, and some of
these are very well funded schools. It's not a funding issue.
Some of these are charter schools. Not a single kid
can do math at grade level, and only twenty four

(01:01:52):
out of eighty of them can read at grade level.

Speaker 18 (01:01:54):
And so you ask.

Speaker 10 (01:01:55):
Yourself the question why is it? Because we put up
with failure, and we fail these kids forward and then
finally we're running out of time. One here, I could
talk about education all day long, school choice, and we
must crush the public sector teacher unions in a way.
We must have an all out blitzkrieg plan and understand
that the American Federation of Teachers in the National Education
Association are keeping kids back in a way that is evil.

(01:02:16):
And I will make the moral argument after the break.
They know how these kids' lives would be better, and
they're holding them back because of their own union thug bosses.

USA supporters after the break.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
The Charlie Kirk Show Where Truth Lives.

Speaker 10 (01:03:10):
Okay, everybody, love the energy in the room. We are
back now on Real America's Voice live from beautiful San Diego.
We got some great friends here in the audience. Yesterday,
Let's know the pictures from on campus. This was yesterday
because I told the team, I said, listen, we're in
San Diego. We're not doing enough. Okay. We got a
couple hours of radio every day. We got a lot
of meetings to do. We had a presentation of prepare
for let's just go to a college campus on top

(01:03:30):
of it, and so we like layering at Turning Point USA.
If we're in one place, we try to layer five
or six things on top of It's how we're so effective.
That's at University of California, San Diego yesterday. Everybody isn't
that amazing? And the sponsor of that is why Refly.
I think they're here somewhere. We met with them. We said, hey,
we want to do the most ambitious campus tour we've

(01:03:52):
ever done. They're a student loan refinancing company to do great,
So go to whyrefight dot com. That is why are
wy dot com if you want and also anyone that
you know that has privates do it loan that you
should check it out. They're here somewhere, so say hello.
They went up. So they were so generous and so quick.
I said, guys, we have this campus tour. It's going
to cost x y Z. We're going to be moving
very fast. They said, we'd love to help sponsor it

(01:04:13):
and underwrite it. And it has now reached billions and
billions of people, so they deserve a lot of credit.
And it's why refi dot com. Why are e f
y dot com? Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.
We have an amazing question line forming here. I hate
to make you guys stand, so you guys, we can
find some orderly way to do it. But if you
guys like standing, so be it. Stay right there. Welcome

(01:04:41):
back to email us as always, Freedom at Charlie Kirk
dot com. Let's go to the next question of our
wonderful turning point USA partners and supporters here, any of us.

Speaker 32 (01:04:57):
How you are truly on the front lines supporting Jewish
and Christians for our today are Christian values for Israel?
We thank you every single day.

Speaker 18 (01:05:07):
Thank you.

Speaker 32 (01:05:07):
My question is we see how powerful TikTok has become
and how you have used that platform. Unfortunately, myself and
many other pro America pro Israel creators continue to get
censored and banned. Where do we stand on the TikTok
negotiations with the Trump administration and its ability to have
better freedom of speech for its citizens.

Speaker 10 (01:05:28):
Yeah, thank you for that. And so we were banned
multiple times right before we well, yeah, twelve times. And
this is all very well reported. And I reached out
to TikTok after they got banned by Congress and I said, hey,
you guys say you're this free platform, let us speak
and not be banned. And so to their credit, we've
gone super viral and billions of views. Right now, I'm

(01:05:49):
not sure what the status is. I think a lot
of it is in limbo because of the China tariff situation.
I will say, and I know this is not your perspective.
There are and I think Israel needs to get much
better at the PR world. I think it's terrible with
public relations, to be honest. There's a lot of truths
about what's happening in that region that a lot of
people do not understand. And I think some of the

(01:06:10):
Israel PR is very cringe at times to use kind
of a gen Z term. There is a belief system
out there of some pro Israel forces like, oh, TikTok's
a waste of time, let's not do that. I reject
that premise and I know you probably agree with that
we need to engage in those public spaces. If I
can help you, you know, get unbanned or uncensored, I'd
be happy to help with that. But here is here's

(01:06:31):
the major, like, one of the more fundamental issues when
it comes with the fight and the debate for Israel
is that it's very hard for those of us that
are not Jewish to make the contention when most Jews
do not care about Israel that much. When I actually
have to debate Jews on Israel on campus, it's very hard, right,
You understand I'm saying, like, I'm a Christian that cares
about Israel, but I care about America obviously most but

(01:06:54):
Jews on campus are telling me that I shouldn't care
about Israel and that you know, Israel's a ten terrible
apartheides day. I'm sure you know the Jews of which
I speak for sure, right, and they exist, and I
don't think they're a majority, honestly, but I think that
some of them are waking up post October seventh. But
let's also be honest. Two thirds of American Jews are
very liberal, right and one of the and I thow

(01:07:18):
to Andrew. I know Andrew has a thought on this,
but just one other element and contextualization on this that
I want to make sure I add. What's very frustrating
is that anti Israel belief system is in outgrowth of
the left wing worldview, because you think of everything through
appress or oppressed, and they look at Israel's prosperous and
their neighbors not so prosperous, and so they look at
it that lens. Unfortunately, Jewish Americans have financed their own demise.

(01:07:39):
Jewish Americans have financed these left wing organizations and colleges
that have led to the rise of anti Israel sentiment.
So it's very very frustrating. Andrew, do you have a
thought here?

Speaker 18 (01:07:47):
Yeah, I just want to make one other point, and
that's we have to avoid the temptation of clamping down
on free speech or trying to censor or using left
wing tactics. Was it Ambassador Friedman who said that, you know,
maybe we need to deport and jail people that were
anti Semitic. Those types of policies or that approach to

(01:08:10):
dealing with the anti Semitism problem will only create more
anti sy and it does create.

Speaker 32 (01:08:15):
More There is a distinction between anti Semitic remarks and
inciting violence, and that was the distinction.

Speaker 10 (01:08:21):
Yeah, The problem is a lot of these people were
not inciting violence. They're writing op eds, right and so,
and that's the issue, is that a lot of people
were being deported because they wrote an op ed critical
of a foreign country. Now I don't think if hilariously,
if they're critical of America, I think they should be deported.
But in hand yeah, but again, so I don't think
they should be here in the first place. But what

(01:08:41):
happens then is our own turning point USA students say, wait,
why are we deporting people for being critical of a
foreign country? And then it plays into this idea that
Israel is basically controlling foreign policy.

Speaker 8 (01:08:52):
That is not the case.

Speaker 10 (01:08:53):
Yeah, well amplifies well then again, so it creates this
narrative and then all of a sudden, again, I will
say this that from our own rank and file at
turning point, and I've said this public I'll say it again.
They are not as pro Israel as people would say,
because no one's making good arguments in favor of Israel. Honestly,
some of the arguments are like, well, if you don't
support Israel, you're anti Semitic again, Like that's that doesn't

(01:09:15):
really resonate, you know what I'm saying, And like, for example,
Douglas Murray, who have a lot of respect for went
on Joe Rogan and made a complete fool of himself,
right and like and thank you for agreeing with that,
And he made some good arguments at times, but he
started that podcast by like shaming Joe Rogan, who's the
most popular podcaster on the planet, for having like voices

(01:09:36):
that he didn't like and basically got no pleasantries in
the podcast. No, like, hey, Joe, good to see you,
like write him like how dare you have? And it
and like that makes it seem as if the pro
Israel world is like can't defend its positions. That makes sense,
it does.

Speaker 32 (01:09:53):
And I just with people like Joe Rogan, if he
could have a survivor of a hostage situation, if he
could have someone who served in the IDEAF, just to
bring more balance and new ones to the conversation, everyone
would benefit.

Speaker 10 (01:10:05):
No, I agree, and and the fact that's a fair point.
I just my biggest concern is that Israel is losing
support with conservatives for a vast hysterical overreaction against speech,
and I see it happening every single day, right Andrew.
I mean it's losing support. And Israel's pr is probably
the worst I've ever seen of any modern country. It's
humiliatingly bad.

Speaker 32 (01:10:26):
I don't disagree. We have the cherry tomato, we have irrigation.
We don't have good pr.

Speaker 10 (01:10:30):
We got to well said, God bless you and God
bless Israel. Thank You'll be right back.

Speaker 11 (01:10:41):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm
Terrence Bates. President Trump is back in Florida as the
Sunshine State is becoming a shiny example of local and
state implementation of his border security and deportation efforts. A
record twenty people accused of being in the country illegally
were arrested this week in Florida. ICE is touting their

(01:11:03):
rest in this action packed video that was posted online.
Florida Governor Ron de Santa says his states work with
ICE and the Department of Homeland Security is working like
a well oiled machine.

Speaker 33 (01:11:14):
You hear a lot about due process. We have tens
of thousands of illegal aliens in Florida at a minimum,
that have already been issued final orders of removal, and
there's hundreds of thousands of them throughout the United States
of America. So they've had a lot of process, they've
been ordered to be removed, they have not complied with

(01:11:35):
those removal orders. And that's a very, very high priority
for our state efforts to continue to identify those individuals
and make sure that their return to their country of origin.

Speaker 11 (01:11:48):
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly has five hundred and
seventeen agreements in place across twenty one states allowing local
police to make immigration rests and detain people for immigration violation.
Dozens of additional agreements are coming down the pike. President
Trump is at mar Lago, as I said, for a
long weekend away from the White House. He made his

(01:12:10):
way to Florida after addressing graduates at the University of Alabama,
whom he calls the first graduating class of the Golden
Age of America. The President delivered the commencement addressed Thursday
evening during a special event in advance of today's graduation
ceremonies at Alabama.

Speaker 16 (01:12:27):
I think you have a chance to be the greatest
generation in the histshere of a country, because we're turning
it around and you.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
Happen to be available, You're available.

Speaker 16 (01:12:41):
I'm absolutely confident that the Alabama class of twenty twenty
five is up to the task.

Speaker 10 (01:12:47):
Are you up to the task.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
You learned a.

Speaker 27 (01:12:53):
Lot about winning here at Alabama, and now we need
you to help win for America.

Speaker 17 (01:13:11):
It's time for a whole new generation to wise up
and rise up the Charlie Kirk Show.

Speaker 10 (01:13:18):

(01:14:22):
on one course, their Federalist Papers course, you could take
their Winston Churchill course, their Roman History course, and more.
Charlie for Hillsdale dot Com.

Speaker 34 (01:14:31):
Yes, sir, thank you so much, Charlie for having us.

Speaker 10 (01:14:33):
My name is Owen.

Speaker 34 (01:14:34):
I'm a student at Florida State University. Care you know
a lot about this movement.

Speaker 10 (01:14:38):
And our turning point USA leader. Yes, Sarah, so give
it up for and thank you for coming to campus.

Speaker 34 (01:14:43):
Yes, thank you for coming to campus in February. It
was a ton of momentum. It was incredible, so I
appreciate that. So obviously, being in Florida, I work in
state politics a lot, and it's a little messy right now.
On the conservative side. Unfortunately, you got a lot of
division between the governor and the legendgislature. You have division
between Byron Donald's and Casey DeSantis, and you know, it's

(01:15:05):
a shame because when conservative states are able to be unified,
they can do really incredible things. So what would be
your advice, I guess, to kind of mend these these
gaps and these these these difficulties and really, you know,
get us back out there, because I mean, if we're
divided in twenty twenty six and everything, that's going to
have an avenue for Democrats to come in and pick
up seats.

Speaker 10 (01:15:25):
It's a really important question. So here's where we get
to the tough stuff, right Uh, there are and this
is to the wonderful point previously that we head offline.
There are major fissures happening on the right currently, more
so than I think that people realize or recognize, leadership
can solve a lot of these issues in Florida. The
problem is you have Byron Donalds, who's likely to be

(01:15:46):
the next governor Florida, and I hope he is. I'm
a big Byron Donalds fan. And you have Ron DeSantis
who's not too happy about that, and so there's some
infighting there. Let me be perfectly honest, guys, if the
Republican House majority and they're Republican Senate majority does not
deliver on a lot of Trump's agenda, We're going to
have huge problems. We're going to have a drop off

(01:16:07):
of voters that think that they can support a certain
candidate and then all of a sudden believe, actually, we're
not going to get what we voted for. There will
be this huge drop off and fallow. So what is
the solution? Leadership? But how about our leaders should go
do what they were elected to do? Like what has
Congress done these last couple of months. Okay, they're getting
this reconciliation bill together? I mean right, I mean, am

(01:16:29):
I right to say? Where is the energy? Where is
the spirit? Trump is carrying the entire country on his
back right now, him and his team, and I don't
feel that kind of urgency from Congress right now now.
I want to try to give them a little bit
of time. I know that there's only so much you
could do. The number one way to get votes is
to actually do what you ran on. If you tell
your voters and show them, hey, you told me to

(01:16:51):
do this and I did this, they will vote for
you again, and then more people will vote for you.
And so in Congress right now, Number one, I'm afraid
we're not going to get this spending cuts that we need.
This is a major thing that we need to keep
the pressure on. I don't know about you. I'm not
okay borrowing trillions of dollars a year, and I think
it's a major problem. So that's number one. Number two,
obviously I think we're gonna get the Trump tax cuts.

(01:17:13):
But the third of which, and this is a really
big problem, is are we going to get the funding
for the border and for the deportation agents so that
we can actually finish this job that President Trump was elected.

Speaker 18 (01:17:22):
Holman's asking for one hundred and seventy five billion dollars
just so everybody's clear, like the price tag on the
on the mass deportrait.

Speaker 10 (01:17:29):
And doose cuts are hopefully going to help a little bit,
but Republicans in Congress are just as addicted to spending
as Democrats. So to your question, more precisely, if leaders
start to deliver on what they said they're going to do,
a lot of this infighting will stop. If we fall
significantly short of the promises we made, we're going to
have some big problems in the Republican Party.

Speaker 18 (01:17:49):
And I want to say something just because I think
I can say it. Maybe Charlie can't, you know. I
you know, I'm actually a big fan of Ronda Santis.
That might get me in trouble with some people. Other
people might like it. I was very supportive of him.
I didn't think he should run for a president. But
I'm looking at this and I'm and I genuinely cannot
understand why Casey DeSantis is qualified to be the next

(01:18:11):
governor of Florida. Like what what what qualifies her other
than being around the governor. So I don't understand this.
It feels very weird to me that, like the it
feels like one of those big mega churches where the
like wife of the pastors just like, you know, I
don't know, it's something something's off there.

Speaker 23 (01:18:30):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (01:18:30):
And and yeah, we love Byron. I think let let
the let this process play out. Obviously, you know that
there was some you know, some back and forth with
the legislature, especially on that immigration Uh, I mean there
was I was getting calls on that left and right.
You know, Desanti is saying that, you know, this is
the toughest in the in the country.

Speaker 10 (01:18:48):
And look, DeSantis has done a lot of great in Florida,
and I think that he would do him good to
hand off the baton to Byron Donalds and do so
gracefully and endorse him and stop the infighting. I think
that's the right move. Thank you, man, thanks for your
great leadership. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Hi Charlie.

Speaker 29 (01:19:04):
I'm Heather and I work at a non traditional Bible
based school here in Orange County, Phenomena that still teaches bonics.

Speaker 10 (01:19:12):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 29 (01:19:14):
The high school students are in a government econ class
as we speak right now. They're in sessions, so they're
texting me some questions and being juniors and seniors, their
top questions are about college. So do you mind if
I ask you three quick college really quick?

Speaker 10 (01:19:26):
I want to try to get through this life so quick.

Speaker 29 (01:19:28):
First one, they know you didn't go to college. But
if you did, what would you study?

Speaker 10 (01:19:32):
I would have went to Hillsdale and I would have
done I think they have a ppe which is philosophy, politics, economics.
I could be wrong, but they have some bundle of that.

Speaker 29 (01:19:43):
Is college still a waste of time if you love
learning or just figuring out.

Speaker 31 (01:19:48):
What to do with your life.

Speaker 10 (01:19:49):
It's a great question. If you love learning, don't go
to most colleges because it's not going to happen there.
There are some colleges that are places of great learning. St.
Andrew's College for example. I mean Hillsdale being the one
that I keep on repeating it over over again. Go
to a great books college. But if you are a
lifetime learner, you don't need to go to college to learn.
I tried to embody that you can read one hundred
books a year, you could listen to podcasts, and you
could take the online courses. If you love learning, you

(01:20:11):
can also just do all the free stuff that was available.
But if you want to do it rigorously, here's the
problem is that you think you're going to go to
college and be intellectually challenged. You might be, but towards
like absolute garbage, like postmodernism, deconstructionists, anti Christian, anti Western,
which I'm okay with understanding what they believe, but three
years of diving deep in that literature, that's like bad

(01:20:31):
for the soul, for the rect I mean, it's not
good for anybody. And so we live in a golden
age of self directed learning. And if you are a
lifelong learner, you don't necessarily need to go to college
to do that, but if you want to make sure,
you choose a college that elevates good, true, and beautiful things.

Speaker 20 (01:20:50):
Okay.

Speaker 29 (01:20:51):
And the last question is what are your thoughts on
the current lawsuit with Harvard and the Trump administration.

Speaker 10 (01:20:55):
Well, I mean, first of all, I am glad that
they're trying to defund Harvard. Why is Harvard getting billions
of dollars a year when they're sitting on fifty five
billion dollars themselves? And I mean not only from their
terrible jew hatred to the previous question, to many of
their other elements. Is it is terrible what they've actually
embodied and done. Beyond that, though, the biggest critique of Harvard,

(01:21:18):
the easiest way to disassemble it is they are in
direct violation of the Supreme Court decision against affirmative action.
Very simple. If I were to give the Trump administration advice,
which I've attempted on this, but I think make it
a single source complaint. We are not giving you money
because you're violating the Fourteenth Amendment and violating the Supreme
Court which is the Students for Fair Admissions case that

(01:21:40):
says that you are actively discriminat against white and Asian
students to accommodate black and Hispanic students based on the
color of their skin. That is why we're not sending
you money. And Harvard would collapse because we have the
goods on them. They were the test case actually in
the Supreme Court case. So I love the fact that
we are pushing against Harvard because we want a meritocracy.
And honestly, Harvard, go find yourself, Okay, go raise your

(01:22:03):
own money. Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:22:12):
I know what I said.

Speaker 35 (01:22:14):
Hi, Charlie, I'm Ken from Florida.

Speaker 10 (01:22:16):
Great to see you.

Speaker 35 (01:22:17):
Thank you for your deep commitment to God and to our.

Speaker 10 (01:22:20):
Country, and thank you for your wonderful gift. Are we
allowed to talk about that? I don't know if an
not or not yet?

Speaker 22 (01:22:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 35 (01:22:27):
I wanted to hear some comments from you on election reform.
We hear a lot of it during elections. We haven't
heard much lately. A question is it possible for President
Trump to do a written demand to the states to
change and be consistent with specific guidelines for elections to

(01:22:48):
maintain their flow of income from the United States government
to the states.

Speaker 10 (01:22:54):
Yeah, so the question is about election integrity reform. Right,
So here's my It needs to happen on a state
by state basis. I'll be honest. Congress is not going
to do this unfortunately. Now, what President Trump can do,
and what he is doing, is instructing certain US attorneys
to investigate widespread voting practices that are against federal law.

(01:23:15):
The federal government has a lot of control over funds
and can incentivize things. But okay, he's not a dictator,
despite what that Left says, So he has to be
very prudent and careful. Where is the biggest fight when
it comes to election integrity. I've done a lot of
thinking about this, and I've done a lot of work
in this. There is one thing that requires more attention
to anything else. The voter rolls. Dirty voter rolls result

(01:23:37):
in dirty elections. It is the original sin. So if
we fail to clean up voter rolls, we fail to
clean up who's on the voter rolls, then think about it.
If you have voter rolls with a bunch of faulty, moved,
or deceased voters and they all get mail in ballots,
then you're creating the prerequisite for massive shenanigans and issues.
So the problem needs to be cleaning up voter roles.

(01:23:58):
Tom Fitten is doing good work on this. What I
would like to see though, is the Department of Justice
civilly suing these jurisdictions and these states to have them
also clean up the voting roles, because you would have
the whole power of the federal government. That's where I
think the best thrust and energy is we should be.
We should make it a four year goal to go
after to clean up the voter rolls in Colorado, to

(01:24:20):
clean up the voter rolls in Illinois, to clean up
the voter roles in New York and California. Want I
don't want to hypothesize or speculate too much, but I
think dirty voter rolls give Democrats maybe a one to
two point advantage, potentially maybe more. And depending on this
date depending on the state, and so why does that matter.
So when you have a bunch of ballots out there
that are not tied to human beings, well, Democrats have

(01:24:41):
organized labor. They have a lot of people that then
go scoop up these arrant ballots. But they're actually real ballots.
And that's where we get we're off. We're like, well
they're fake ballots. Well they're fake people, but they're real ballots.
Does that make sense? So the Secretary of State is
sending out legitimate ballots, it's not like their counterfeit, but
they're not assigned to the name, and no one's checking signatures.

(01:25:01):
And that's the other way that we could do this
on the laws of the books in most of these states,
on most of these states is signature verification, and it's
never enforced signature of verification. We have to go back
to signature verification, which one of the main reasons why
President Trump was able to win Georgia by so much
in twenty sixteen was robust signature verification. One of the

(01:25:21):
reasons why it's now this battleground state is we don't
check signatures anymore. Why and this is another thing that
why I'm so why I'm so against all this CRT
hyper racialization DEI stuff, because you're not allowed to check
signatures in Georgia because it's racist. Not kidding, That's literally
what the Supreme the courts have said. You are not
allowed to check signatures because it harms black people more

(01:25:42):
than white people. Not an exaggeration, and so we need
to challenge that. And finally, if we can get voter ID,
that would be great. I'm not bullish on that. That would
require Congress. Democrats know that when there are fewer protections
on voting, they mysteriously do better. Let's just put that again.
The fewer protections there are, they mysteriously are able to

(01:26:05):
do better. So I just I put forward five or
six ideas here just right now, and I will say,
to President Trump's credit, he's not lost sight on this,
and I think he wants to reform our elections for
good and God bless him for that. Right, Thank you,
thank you for your great support. What do we have, guys,

to play a piece of tape here. You guys will
see more of this throughout the weekend. Just a little
taste of what you're going to see, and also those
in the audience can see. Let's play cut five oh six.

Speaker 4 (01:27:28):
In twenty twenty, they said, it couldn't be.

Speaker 14 (01:27:31):
The millennials are among the most democratic leading generation that
we've ever seen.

Speaker 26 (01:27:35):
Our generation has a streak of progressivism in it that
doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
College campuses were hostile territory.

Speaker 10 (01:27:49):
Did you just pull up and start at the Constitution.

Speaker 4 (01:27:55):
But in twenty twenty four history was rewritten. USA changed
the game and caused the greatest generational culture shift since Woodstock.

Speaker 10 (01:28:08):
That is true, and that's worth talking about. I got
to give credit to Andrew. Andrew said that as kind
of a one liner last night, and we'll prove it
to you. You are living through the greatest sudden realignment
of a generation unpredicted since Woodstock. We'll be right back.

(01:28:40):
Welcome back, everybody. Email us Freedom at charliekirk dot com
and subscribe to our podcast. That is the Charlie Kirkshow
podcast page. I'm trying to find another good video we
could play here. Let's say there's this one here. How
about this one where he says tampon's or DEI, Yeah,
have you seen this this rocket scientist? This went very

(01:29:04):
viral on TikTok. This is this is something else? Play
cut three sixty three.

Speaker 36 (01:29:09):
You literally said DEI is based on race, but it's not.
One part of d I is literally giving women on
tampons or pads at warp. Oh yeah, yeah, you're laughing
because you know.

Speaker 10 (01:29:21):
Giving women tampons is a form of DEI. Yes, it is.

Speaker 36 (01:29:24):
You know why, Let me explain, Let me explain. Yeah, yeah, no,
I got youa I'm about to explain to you guys.
So basically, we're daughter, right. She decides to get a job, right,
and unfortunately it's that time of the month. She goes
into the bathroom. Come down, come down, come down.

Speaker 10 (01:29:37):
She goes into the bathroom. Stop, she's going into the bathroom,
losing the audience.

Speaker 36 (01:29:41):
I don't care, I'm talking to you. So she she
goes into the bathroom, right, and she gets it. She
goes into the bathroom and gets a tampon or a
pad that's been given from the job. That is DEI.
That is literally yes, yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:29:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:29:57):
You don't know, you don't know.

Speaker 36 (01:29:57):
You don't know. That's great, yes, because in it so
an Executive Order one one, two four six, they say
that DII is focusing on a safer environment and a
more equable environment within the workplace and the heind process.

Speaker 10 (01:30:12):
That is one of the most followed Democrat TikTokers out there,
and so you wonder why we're winning young people. That's
the best they have to offer, and so it's really
something else. You guys could check out the TikTok economic impact,
TikTok economic impact dot com and we're going very, very
viral in many more ways than one. I want to
just add on one thing, just Andrew, can you talk
about and then we will get to all the questions

(01:30:33):
in the overflow stream. The profound impact of turning point
USA and how we've kept the energy going post election.

Speaker 18 (01:30:40):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's unparalleled in at least
modern American political history, but probably throughout our entire history
that after an election, when we saw a movement like
we saw on the fall semester and spring semester, by
the way, that gets you know, this movement really sparked
in spring. I'll never forget twenty twenty four in the spring,
went to Cole poly San Luisibispo, Charlie sitting there and

(01:31:04):
hundreds and hundreds of students just start singing the national
anthem spontaneously, and Charlie and I looked at each other,
were like, something is happening here. True, and so we decided, Hey,
if we keep the pressure on, who knows how far
we can push this. And you saw this recently with
the Youth Yale poll that showed that the youngest voters
in our country eighteen to twenty one are not just

(01:31:26):
like leaning, They're not just like dipping their toe in
the water. They favor Republicans by eleven point seven percent.
Can you imagine eleven point seven percent?

Speaker 10 (01:31:35):
And not only that, not that's all excluding the wonderful
company in this audience a lot more than baby boomers.

Speaker 18 (01:31:41):
Baby boomers are going the wrong way. Yep, gen Z's
going the right way.

Speaker 10 (01:31:45):
And so it's just a remarkable thing that we're experiencing.
Let's get to this question and we'll answer it partially
and then over the overflow thoroughly.

Speaker 37 (01:31:52):
Yes, sir, Hey Charlie, my name is Matt. I come
from Scottsdale, Arizona. Wonderful and my questions about the youth
you've it's an incredible organization that helps youth from high
school through college. But I'm seeing kids being introduced to
complex ideas and I'll say destructive ideas.

Speaker 18 (01:32:09):
Earlier and earlier, younger and younger, and kids.

Speaker 37 (01:32:12):
Are getting cell phones at the age of eight to
ten years old these days. And so my question for
you is, you know, how do we capture and get
that group earlier and do you recognize it as a
problem and what do you think we can do about it?

Speaker 10 (01:32:25):
Yeah, it is a problem. It's not one that we're
going to be fixing by organizing. I mean, we're not
going to start turning point middle school, despite how many
people want us to. The answer is in your question.
I am. What's shocking to me is that when I
go to a shopping mall and nine year olds are
coming up and asking me for selfies. Now that's new
and it's horrifying. And I'm like, you should not know

(01:32:46):
who I am. No, I mean I see, I mean seriously, Like,
don't you have something else to do the know about? Like, no,
I love your college debates. They're amazing. And I'm like, okay, great,
you're nine. Like when I was nine, we were not
watching videos all day long online. I mean, it's like
there's a and let's just be honest, like this is
lazy parenting. Parents don't want to parent their kids. They
just give them these digital pacifiers and they're like, here,

(01:33:09):
you know, go entertain yourself, go stare at a screen
all day long. So we actually are again I'm in
some ways a beneficiary of that because our audience has
only grown because a lot of eight, nine, and ten
year old young boys now look at us as role models,
which is amazing. But I don't like delight in the
fact that I go to these shopping or whoever shopping

(01:33:30):
mall grocery store and it's hilarious. There might be a
parent nearby, and the parents like, who's that right, and
the nine year old's like, you have no idea? Again,
So the best answer I have for that is that
our digital dominance is paying dividends and better than them
listening to Turning Point USA videos then listening to I

(01:33:51):
don't know whatever propaganda that they're seeing on social media.
But let's be honest, we have a much deeper structural problem.
If eight year olds are getting smart, I mean, that
is a that's a bad, bad, bad trend. So I
hope it stops. Thank you for that, all right, everybody
on radio and podcasting, Shabbat shalom, as we always say,
And then we are going to continue with the remainder

(01:34:12):
of our questions. You're live from San Diego on the stream.
God bless and subscribe to our podcast. Will be right
back in a second
