Sorry, we've got the wrong buttons. Here, there we go. Thank
you. I can see the screennow. Charlie Kirk, founder and president
of the Turning Point USA, alsoauthor of a brand new book called right
Wing Revolution, How to Beat theWoke and Save the West on the Hotline.
Charlie Kirk, Welcome to Colorado.So nice to have you. Thank
you, thanks so much for havingme. Absolutely let's talk about this new
book. But over the weekend youhad the former President Donald Trump there at
(00:24):
a Turning Point conference, kind ofset the scene and then we'll talk about
the book here. Yeah, wehad President Trump at our event in Detroit,
Michigan, the People's Convention, oneof the largest events ever done,
nearly ten thousand people. It wasremarkable, and we had so many trainings
and people that were coming from allacross the country that want to get filled
and want to get fired up anddeployed, and so it was a remarkable
(00:46):
event and the President Trump keynoted itas our special guest. On Saturday night,
it was all about hey, here'show you register voters, here's how
you can chase ballots. And thePresident gave one of his best speech I've
heard of quite some time, itwas terrific. This book called the right
Wing Revolution, Turning Point USA haskind of been the pivot of that,
(01:07):
attracting a very young demographic and seeingthat they're fired up and conservative and the
message of conservatism appeals to them.Talk about this right wing revolution, and
I know you're talked about in thebook as well. Yeah, absolutely,
and people can find it at fortyfive books dot com. So what we
talked about in the book is thatthe entire Western world has taken a Marxist
(01:29):
leftist direction in recent decades. Infact, the woke, and we define
what the woke actually is. They'vetaken over basically everything. They've taken over
our institutions, they taken over ourcountry, and we need a counter revolution
to take back this country. It'sgoing to require a fair amount of grit
resolve, it's going to require somenew thinking, and it's going to require
(01:51):
some entrepreneurial activity. And so wego through the micro and the macro in
this book. It's not a bookof despair, it's not a book of
negativity. Instead, it's a bookof optimism. It's one of how we
can actually win if we apply ourselves, how we outnumber the bad guys about
how we the people are sovereign inthis country when the elites and the experts
(02:12):
and the oligarchs have been doing alot of damage. And so we're really
excited about this book. It's sellingreally well, and it really is a
blueprint for your listeners to be ableto understand where we are as a country.
It's filled with a lot of individualstories, It's filled with a lot
of testimonials and things that I've hadto deal with in my life and building
(02:34):
Turning Point and the radio program ofthe podcast, and really really thrilled about
it. People can find it atforty five books dot com. The books
available at forty five books dot comis called right Wing Revolution. Obviously,
this Donald Trump, his personality ischarisma, has really empowered and brought a
lot of new people to the rightwing revolution, if you will. But
(02:55):
what happens beyond Trump? Is thisrevolution survived? Does the energy go?
I mean, what how pivotal arethings hinged on Donald Trump for this energy
that we feel in this revolution?Yeah, it's a great question. I
have no idea. All I knowis that we have to win in November.
I mean, what goes on beyondthat? Remains to be seen.
And look, if we don't winin November, I don't know if we're
(03:15):
going to have a country. AndI don't say that dramatically, I don't
say that apocalyptically. I'm very,very worried. If we don't win,
we're going to be in a realtough spot. But here's the good news
is that we're leading in the polls. We're out registering the bad guys.
We have the energy, we havethe spirit. I am guessing there really
is no candidate quite like Donald Trump. It's going to be able to turn
(03:35):
out voters and be able to consolidatea movement quite like Donald Trump. And
we should be very thankful. Weare lucky to have Donald Trump. He
forgives so many the sins of theRepublican Party, his ability to bring out
new voters, to excite voters,to energize them. And we'll see it
kind of come to a crescendo thisNovember. What's a conservative move in the
Republican Party. You're talking about thewoke in your book, and wokeism also
(03:58):
obviously has a stronghold in our culture. How did they get that stronghold?
Were a sleep at the wheel Werewe not paying attention? Were we fighting
the wrong battles? How did weend up in this situation you think we're
in today. Yeah, we talkabout this in the book. We did
not really fight. For forty orfifty years, we allowed the bad guys,
the woke, to take over controlof the American Medical Association, of
(04:19):
American Association and Pediatrics, the Departmentof Justice, the FBI. And we
must understand that the woke, theyexist to complain or call things unjust until
they control. So it's complain untilyou control. It is a two step
process. And so they'll relentlessly criticize, and the next thing you know,
(04:39):
they will be in charge of ourmajor power centers in the country. And
we've kind of allowed them. Wefar too often play on their terms of
debate. We far too often allowthem to dictate and determine what is right
and what is correct, and whatis good and what is true and when
in reality we should not care whatthey think. And we've done it for
(04:59):
far too long. We've allowed themto call the shots. Every time they
call us a racist, we cowerin a corner and apologize. We have
a whole chapter in the book aboutthat, and Instead, we should just
dismiss them. They do not havecontrol over us, they do not control
our lives. Instead, we needto know what is true and act appropriately.
And so it requires an attitude shift, one that is profoundly different than
(05:21):
what we've been seeing in the lastcouple of decades in this country. But
I'm confident that once the American peoplechange their attitude change, their approach will
be in a much better place.The last question, but the book is
availables called Right Wing Revolution at fortyfive books dot com by Charlie Kirk.
It's available right now. Go pickup a copy of it. The American
(05:41):
left, the Marxist out there,they seem to be wanting to intimidate.
They're filing charges against Trump, theweaponization of our justice system. Do you
think they're also trying to use thisto intimidate other quote revolutionaries they want to
stand up and take America back,save the West. They're trying to intimidate
us. How do you overcome that, the fear that they instill with you
with their justice system and their legalantics. Yeah, that every activision citizen
(06:05):
needs to admit and acknowledge that theymight end up in federal prison because of
this fight. You have to releasethat to the Lord. And we have
a whole chapter on spiritual discipline andunderstanding that this is not just about flesh
and blood, that we're up againstsome very sinister and evil forces. So
yes, I mean I might endup in federal prison. You might end
up in federal prison. And ifthat intimidates you, then you're just you
(06:26):
know, a summer patriot or aSunshine soldier. And we kind of say
in the book, get out ofthe way, because this is a high
stakes fight for the greatest country everto exist in the history of the world.
The bad guys are willing to usethe law fair the systems of justice
lock you into a prison in perpetuity. But we have the truth and we
have the people. Those two thingsgive us a good chance, and it's
gonna This election is the first step, we hope in many of recentering the
(06:46):
