Ask Us Anything 239: Halftime Show Music? Conservative Boycott Power? Win in Virginia?

My name is Charlie Kirk.

I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.

My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.

If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.

But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.

College is a scam, everybody.

You got to stop sending your kids to college.

You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.

Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.

Go find out how your church can get involved.

Sign up and become an activist.

I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.

Most important decision I ever made in my life.

And I encourage you to do the same.

Here I am.

Lord, use me.

Buckle up, everybody.

Here we go.

The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.

This is probably the most exciting hour we have all week.

The absence of us anything, ask we anything.

We're going with different names, but it is, of course, the hour where Charlie, before us, he took questions from our subscribers.

He loved doing this.

He loved, you know, he really prided himself.

No matter how high he rose, he was always in touch with the core elements of the conservative Christian base.

Always wanted to hear from them.

And we are, of course, going to continue that tradition.

And we're also joined with Danny.

He's another, he was a member of Charlie's team, and he's now a member of our team here.

And that's right.

Dynamo, Danny.

Let's dive right into it.

We have Nick first unmute yourself.

Nick, what's your question?

Hey, oh man, the last time I talked here, I was talking to Charlie, but you guys will do.

You guys will do today.

I just started a Turning Point USA chapter at my high school, and I was wondering, yeah, I like the meetings and all the speeches and talks we have, but I was wondering how we could get more involved with like our community

and like actually take action instead of just talking.

Yeah, well, that's great.

I would say the first thing that comes to mind for me is

if the people in your

chapter are Christian or if they're believers, maybe not all of them are, but the ones who are, make sure, are they actually going to services on Sunday?

Are they getting involved with things?

Are they taking their stated belief, which is pretty common, especially with younger people?

They'll say, yeah, I'm a Christian, maybe whatever.

But Charlie was all about taking the stated belief and making it concrete.

Are you putting your stated beliefs into action?

Read the Bible, going to Bible studies, going to church.

That's one specific faith-related example, but maybe you guys have examples beyond that.

Nick, if I'm putting myself in your shoes, Blake had a great idea.

Actually, I think it was Dino, who we just had on in the last segment.

He said that they also started a Bible study in their chapter.

So they'll do a chapter meeting and then a Bible study afterwards.

But to get more involved, we have our school board watch list program.

You could go to the school board meetings and start firing up yourself for your community and getting involved in local politics.

They would raise so many eyebrows if they had actual students show up at the school board.

That would be incredible.

Hold on, wait, that's a good idea.

That's a good idea.

Yeah, well, let's keep them running, Nick.

I'm going to hook you up with some ideas here.

And then another one, too, is running for student body government.

That's a big thing that we have at Turning Point USA is we equip leaders to run for student body government.

So if that's something you're interested in, contact us or you could email me if you want to.

Another idea is every election season, Turning Point Action gets involved in swing states.

I'm not sure what state you're in, Nick, but even if you are not in a swing state, you can call, jump on the phone, text people, and you're calling voters in Arizona, in North Carolina, in Ohio,

whatever states we're involved in.

These are just a couple of ideas.

Obviously, the ideas are unlimited, really.

Yeah,

when I was at Ohio State, we got connected with local restaurants, businesses.

That really helps get out the vote.

Stuff like that.

You can really just get connected

outside of campus, all those places.

Nick, I have an important question for you.

Are you going to Amfest?

In December?

I really want to.

I really want to.

I'm going to see if I can save up to buy a ticket.

If not, maybe my mom will buy it for me.

All right.

Well,

we're going try to help you get there, so we'll connect with you.

But I think that's a good starter for you to just start by coming to Amfest.

And there's a lot of ways to get involved there.

I mean, when you're walking the exhibitor hall, you're seeing TP Academy and you're seeing our faith program and our church program and Turning Point Action and everything.

So there's a lot of ways to get involved.

So I want you to start by coming to Amfest and we'll help get you there if you just connect with our team.

Touch grass in your community, as Gen Z used to say.

The world is so full of people who are cloistered inside, it is a super weapon if you can do what Charlie did and just go out there and engage with the real world over and over and over again.

But thank you very much for that, Nick, and best of luck with your new chapter.

We're very excited to hear about that.

Our next caller is going to be Christine.

Christine, unmute yourself.

What is your question?

Hi, guys.

First of all, there is not enough words for the respect I have for Charlie and for everyone who is carrying on his torch.

My question is: I've read all the websites, the TPUSA, the TPS Faith, Blexit, etc.

and about the show and stuff.

I've read all these descriptions, but I wanted to know:

are these all separate entities?

Do they fall under the same umbrella?

If I monetarily support one, am I supporting them all?

And for those of us who aren't in college and who may be a little older and have families, how is the best way we can be involved?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So the only way it's separate is if it's Turning Point USA is the umbrella for all of those things.

So Blexit and Turning Point Academy and TPUSA Faith and our high school program, our college program, our productions program.

All of that falls under that umbrella of our 501c3.

The only thing that's different is our 501c4 or our PAC, which is the political arm, and that's Turning Point Action.

So if you, for example, if you're to make a donation to Turning Point USA, you're supporting the mission of all of those things that you just mentioned.

And so those are all connected under the umbrella of Turning Point USA.

I think that answers your question.

But how you can get better involved, I just told Nick, I just keep telling people, come to Amfest.

That's the best first way to get involved.

But if you want to get involved in politics, the best way is Turning Point Action.

We have midterms coming up soon, and there's going to be a lot to do even if you are not in the state that we are actively you know doing door knocking in low propensity reach in you can still make phone calls wherever you're from um and so for tposa there's a ton of different ways to get involved we have thousands of church affiliates there's there's most likely a chapter in your community a high school or college chapter in your community you can get involved in support you can actually support individual smaller chapters at turning Turning Point USA.

I want to flag one last thing.

Also, this show is technically also separate from both Turning Point and Turning Point Action.

This comes up a lot because some people ask me about Turning Point stuff.

I technically don't work for them.

I just work for Resolute Media, which is an extra show.

Yeah, does that answer your question, Christine?

I believe it does.

I guess I was looking for with that as we give money, if we need to

separate that out so we make sure everybody gets a little bit involved, or if one of your your groups wasn't getting as much attention, will you,

as a top tier, spread it around?

Yeah, it's always spread around when you make a donation to Turning Point USA.

But if you're a donor and you make a donation, you can actually add where you want it to go to specifically.

So we have donors that are saying, you know, I only want to support TPOSA faith with this donation.

And so that actually just goes to furthering the mission or the cause of that specific department under the Turning Point USA umbrella.

So.

and

if I may, one more quick question, Mikey.

You had said about local

groups.

I've been trying to find a local group around here.

You don't have them listed on any site.

And actually, when I reached out locally on our like local Facebook page, I got a lot of backlash

that was very negative.

So it's been unfortunate.

So I was hoping there will be some kind of directory so we can know in our smaller towns

who is involved so we can reach out to people who are involved around us.

Yeah.

I know we just updated our website at Turning Point USA, and I think that there's a map that we just added.

And so you can zoom into your region.

And then we're working on adding, so our field rep, who is staff that we have hired for every certain region, then we have general managers, regional directors.

And so you can reach out to the field representatives.

And that's probably the best way of communication.

So we can help get you connected, Christine, and we'll make that happen.

Great.

Thank you so much, guys.

Of course.

God bless.

So, our next caller is going to be Harrison.

Harrison, unmute yourself.

What is your question?

Hi, can you hear me?

Yes, we can.

Hi, my question is: well, I'll start first.

I'm a big fan of Charlie Kirk.

I was always a big fan of Charlie Kirk.

We lost him actually on my birthday.

Oh, man.

Sorry.

And

yeah,

so that whole thing

shook me up

and it had me asking a lot of questions.

And one of these questions

that

I'm having to ask myself is

if Israel is such a good ally to the United States, why do our politicians need to take money in order to support that relationship?

How does the money help?

Well, I don't think a lot of them do need to take a lot of money from them.

But, you know, so there is a, certainly it has been brought up.

There's like a lot of back and forth there, and some people have raised their eyebrows.

I remember when we had the

recess in August, and like a very large number of Republicans flew directly to like Israel as the recess was happening.

And so it wasn't like, oh, they needed to immediately go and meet all of their constituents in their home states.

They were instead in another country.

And

I know I talked to Charlie about all of this, and he was at least very aware.

That was

not a good PR look, and it might have been a better one in the past.

But

it's not.

You have to signal that America comes first.

Now, there are reasons that we have this alliance, that it has existed, that we've had alignment against radical Islam, and also just a lot of Americans genuinely care about that.

Not just Jewish Americans, but Christian Americans, and Americans who just care about about opposing Islamic militancy, 9-11, and all of that.

I mean, for me, just speaking on my own beliefs, I'm Gen Z.

I've seen war my entire life.

A lot of countries lobby here.

Lastly, I want to stop them all.

I don't want to see any countries lobby in this country anymore.

I'm kind of sick of it.

It's amazing how much South Korea spends a ton lobbying in the U.S.

And just indirect stuff.

You know, you have people who register under Farah, you have people who should register register under FARA but don't.

I think what Charlie would agree, and we agree, is we do want way less influence and money from foreign countries in our government.

And it's easy, it's very common for people to fixate on Israel specifically.

But like Mexico was totally interfering in all of Trump's elections.

They were publishing guides on how Mexican Americans could vote.

They were barely, you know, quite unsubtly suggesting, you know, maybe illegal immigrants, you could figure out how to vote too.

And just totally weighing in.

European leaders were always weighing in on these things.

Tons of other foreign NGOs meddle themselves in our politics.

So it is far beyond just one country in that regard.

Well, and according to open source,

Israel wasn't even in the top 10 last year in foreign nations funding in American politics, which shows that, I mean, all these other countries are doing it too, which is also a problem.

I just don't want to see any of it, if I'm being honest.

Yeah, I'd say that's a good thing.

Let's just get all foreign money should just not be in United States politics.

And I think that would lead to a lot better behavior.

Yeah, I mean, just back to what I'm saying is

I don't really want to see any country involved.

That's the biggest thing here.

But then also, AIPAC, right?

AIPAC, American Israel PAC, that's run by American Jews, just so that we're clear.

So it's not actually Israel necessarily getting involved.

But either way, I don't want to see any foreign influence lobbying our country.

I just don't want to see it.

And I think you guys agree with me.

100%.

All right.

Andrea is our next caller.

Andrea, unmute yourself and welcome.

Thank you for being a subscriber.

Thank you.

I just wanted to offer all of you my condolences.

It's been a really difficult time, but you guys have just done an amazing, amazing job.

Very inspiring.

My question for you is that I've recently moved to Virginia and I'm wondering if there is any kind of a ground game.

I haven't really heard anything about it.

And similar to your previous caller, I was just wondering how I might be able to get involved with the TP action out here in Virginia.

Man, we were going to have Tyler Bowyer on this hour originally, and it would have really helped because Tyler runs turning point action.

He would have the point-by-point detail on all of that.

My understanding is originally we were not super heavily involved because we, you know, we shepherd our resources for what's most winnable.

But now Virginia has, in the last couple of weeks, gotten much more winnable, especially in that AG race.

So

I unfortunately do not know that off the top of my head.

I have actually messaged Tyler at this moment to please send me any details.

And if we can get more of them even later in this hour, I'll be sure to read them out.

Do you know anything about that, Mikey?

I know the mobile app.

TP Action has a mobile app, which is very helpful.

I know we all used it on the ground game during last year's election you can start there and you can literally text and call people in your area to help get out the vote yeah yeah

I know that Blake said it the AG race in in specific specifically has become a big possibly winnable race in Virginia and so I'm not entirely sure the specifics that Tyler might have in terms of what we may be doing on the ground game.

I know that there is a ground game there and so how to get plugged into that, I think it's best.

Turning point action makes a statement kind of saying how you can get involved, how you can help there.

So that's probably the best next step.

I know that we're probably going to be putting something together to text and call voters.

We typically do that always with states where you can call voters to get out the vote and get involved.

And so that's basically what we have right now for Virginia.

Yeah.

How are you feeling about the governor's race?

It would just be such a huge shame if we lost out on that.

Yeah.

It is a shame.

I will we'll be frank.

Charlie was always very honest.

The polling there is further apart.

It is a more challenging race.

Yeah.

It's been pretty far apart most of it.

You have to keep in mind, Virginia has become a blue state these past 20 years.

It has consistently voted for a Democrat every election since 2008.

It's also the state, a ton of federal employees.

It's probably been hit by Doge harder than any other state.

It's being affected by the shutdown probably harder than any other state, maybe Maryland accepted.

And that's going to create a challenging environment no matter what.

It's also a state, it's a high-income area, those suburbs around Washington.

And you know what high-income people in Washington really like?

They like hiring illegal immigrants to do stuff at their homes.

And so a lot of those people are angry that President Trump is trying to change our reliance on illegal immigrants.

No, I've seen this.

I've gotten texts from people in the DC area about this, where, you know, the prices of all of these

services you can buy has gone way up because a lot of them are clearing out.

And so all of that is going to have a political impact.

Now, back to your original question, that does make the race tough, but thanks to this deranged lunatic they have up for AG, both the races have gotten a lot more competitive.

And until we can get more of that action stuff, I would encourage you,

for example, if you're at a church, make sure the people in your church are aware this is coming up.

Talk to them.

Oh, did you see what this Jay Jones guy said?

Big time.

You'd be amazed how out of the loop a lot of people are.

They're just not.

They're not watching the news.

They're not watching this show.

They're not hearing about it.

And a lot of people want to make sure they don't hear about it.

You can change that and make sure that they vote.

You don't need an app to make sure that that happens.

You don't need an app to make sure your friends and family and parishioners and your, you know, the parents of your kids' friends and all of that.

You don't need all of those things to be able to talk to those people.

But we'll definitely have Tyler on ASAP to give more information on

what our plans are in that race.

And we've got a month to sprint to the finish here.

Yeah.

Make it work.

Thank you so much, Andrea.

This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner of YReFi.

It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.

His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.

Now, hear Charlie in his own words tell you about YReFi.

I want to tell you guys about YReFi.com.

That is YREFY.com.

WhyReFi is incredible.

Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion.

WhyReFi is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans?

You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget.

Go to YReFi.com.

That is whyRefi.com.

If you have a co-borrower, YReFi can get them released from the loan.

You can skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty.

It may not be available in all 50 states.

Go to yrefi.com.

That is yrefy.com.

Let's face it, if you have distress or defaulted student loans, it can be overwhelming.

Because of private student loan debt, so many people feel stuck.

Go to yrefi.com.

That is yrefy.com.

Private student loan debt relief, yrefi.com.

Our next question is Chris.

Are you there, Chris?

Yeah, I'm here.

Awesome.

What's your question?

Well,

I've I've noticed that many believers in my church now agree that the church, the big church, has become too comfortable and risk-averse.

But a lot of us are really unsure on like the first practical steps that pastors or lay people can take to move on from this passive faith to like active conviction in their communities.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know that it's speaking as, so my dad's a pastor,

You may have seen him at the memorial.

Yeah, he spoke at the memorial.

So my dad, he was a pastor in California.

During the COVID lockdowns, he kept his church open

despite he was the mayor of the city at the time and despite facing jail time and penalties and congregants getting fines and

them getting cited, crazy things.

He kept his church open.

And it was one of the biggest stories at the time.

Because in California, you could have strip clubs open and marijuana dispensaries but churches couldn't worship and so that is kind of the moving point for my dad and TPO say faith and a lot of pastors who saw that and said something doesn't feel right here and so James 1 22 is be doers of the word not just hearers and so for a lot of pastors

I would just encourage them to if it feels wrong Dig into it a little bit.

You have a choice to make, not just for yourself, for your congregation and those that you're shepherding as a flock in a community.

And every choice that you make makes an imprint on your character, and character comes from the Greek word, which means to etch deeply onto something or to tattoo.

And so every choice that you make makes a mark on your character.

What kind of character do you want?

And so a lot of people will say, you know, they'll cite Romans 13, which is, you know, honor those in authority,

elected officials.

So they said, the elected officials told me to shut down my church during COVID, or the elected officials told me that there's separation of church and state.

I shouldn't have to talk about this from the pulpit.

Well,

one of the most important things you have to think about is who are those in authority in this country?

And that was written with kings in authority and monarchs in authority.

And today, those in authority in our country are the people.

And so we have a responsibility to our nation and to our God to uphold liberty, which is a value of Christianity and God.

And pastors have the same thing.

So if you're the member of a church, you should go straight to your pastor and challenge him.

That's what I do.

That's what my dad does.

And I don't know, Blake, Danny, do you guys have anything to add on this?

This gets me all riled on.

I am a Catholic, so I have a little slightly different thing.

We're like a very hierarchical thing, which has,

you know, a leader has been saying some very interesting things the last few weeks.

Well, yeah, I think that that they just need to stop apologizing for the truth and

live it out publicly.

That's great, Danny.

Yeah, don't apologize for the truth.

Double down.

Triple down.

Thank you so much, Chris.

What's our next question?

Our next question we have Isabel.

Isabel wrote us, what do you suggest for someone wanting to get involved with TPUSA who does not have a degree, is not in college, but is still about collegiate age and wanting to maybe work there or just be part of the movement?

Is there a space for young adults not in college?

Now, one, one, I think I may have gotten seen an email from Isabelle, so thank you again for reaching out.

I think it would be very shameful if we did not have a way for people who did not go to college to get involved, given what Charlie repeatedly said about college.

First of all, I don't, in most cases, if there's a chapter in your area.

Danny was a chapter president.

Yeah, we had people all the time that were college-age that didn't

go to the university but still came to events, meetings, all that stuff.

Yeah, it's possible your school might have some rules around that, but they're probably not going to be super strict about it.

I don't think they'll be strict at all.

They won't even know.

Yeah, and we also have our student action summit, which is literally just for young people.

You don't have to be in college.

You don't have to be in high school.

You don't have to be a student.

You don't even have to be a student.

It's really just the action summit.

Maybe we should just label it to young people action summit.

Super action summit.

Yeah.

Well, we'll make it happen.

But start by coming to Amfest.

That's what I keep telling people.

But Isabel, we we want to get you to Amfest.

So let's do what we need to do to get you there.

And we'll go into our next question, which is Jimmy.

Alrighty.

Jimmy, do we have you?

Jimmy, are you there?

Unmute yourself.

Oh,

can I reach out?

I got another one.

Okay.

We got you.

We got Jimmy.

Jimmy, excellent, excellent.

Jimmy, thank you again.

Yeah,

I posted a couple of questions, so I'm trying to figure out which one is the most important.

But

do I only have time for one?

Let's just shoot one we have more time we'll see

okay okay okay uh let's see um

i i think i'll take the one that's probably more uh well both are relevant but so charlie's approach what was

what is charlie's approach and your team's approach to what i see as um a growing

um kind of a resistance or a growing opposition to the people of israel or the nation of Israel.

And which I, you know, I think of it as a spiritual issue that will

that's growing.

I see it in the conservative movement.

And I think people in the church who

are

part of the church in different faiths are going to need good voices, strong voices to help people understand what to think about this.

Because

Israel has, you know, if you look at the Bible, Israel has an important position with God and in history, both past and in future.

So

I understand the need to reform, like you were talking about earlier, not to have money coming into our government.

I understand the need to reform our, you know,

the thing, you know, countries can reform, but this goes a little bit deeper where it's like this.

this kind of rejection to Israel as the people of God.

So I want to know how you guys approach that and help us to, you know, how to think about it.

Yeah, thank you again.

Thank you again.

We've talked about that a bit this week.

It's come up.

And I can say I spoke with Charlie a lot about this issue.

He had me do a lot of research about this issue.

He cared a lot about it.

And he saw it was really something that had been bubbling up a lot over these past few years.

And

it is something that is in a lot of ways out of proportion to what you'd normally expect a foreign policy thing to be.

And it's done that for a variety of reasons.

It, of course, has happened for religious reasons.

Obviously, there are Jewish Americans who care a lot.

There are Christian Americans who believe there is, you know, a biblical commitment to present-day Israel.

But it's also even the left cares more about it.

It's sort of the issue has become a symbolic one, where how you feel about it is it's sort of representative of how you feel about a lot of different issues.

And that's, I think, why Charlie, he noticed there was this bubbling up of anti-Israel and often anti-Semitic sentiment.

among young people on the left and on the right.

And I think he thought about it a lot because he could see this would sometimes be related to this sort of like generalized third world mindset spreading in America.

That if like they can convince you that, oh, like Israel shouldn't exist because they're a colonizer country or something, that if they can convince you of that, they can kind of convince you that America shouldn't exist because America also began as

people settling a land they were not from.

Charlie had complicated thoughts on it.

We've seen it with

letters and so forth.

You know, he wrote that letter to Netanyahu.

He saw that there was a lot of sentiment on this.

He wanted to bridge the gap.

He wanted to move towards a productive relationship between our two countries.

And

he wanted the Holy - he cared about the Holy Land remaining a safe place for Christians.

I think that was his biggest guiding star, that he went to Israel once.

He went to the lands that Jesus preached in and lived in, and it was deeply moving for him.

And he thought it would be terrible if that ended up being a place ruled by ISIS or radical Islamists who might, you know, blow up Christ's tomb, blow up, you know, bulldoze all the places that Christ ministered to, make it so Christians could not go there.

And he cared a lot about keeping that from happening.

And he cared a lot about just not having us.

He also just didn't want us to align with radical Islamism.

And those were kind of Charlie's guiding posts on that issue, I believe.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've never been to Israel.

Charlie often talked about how he loved it and loved the Holy Land and wanted to protect it.

And he would say that the arguments to protect the Holy Land and keep it sacred and protected and accessible are most important.

I've never been, so I

maybe one day I'll go.

I don't know.

But

yeah, that was kind of his stance.

Blake, you hit the nail on the head.

Look, I know there are a lot of choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service.

There are new ones popping up all the time.

But the truth is, there's only one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes that freedom is worth fighting for, and that is Patriot Mobile.

For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines fighting for our God-given rights of freedom while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks.

Don't just take my word for it.

Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in simply by switching to Patriot Mobile.

It's easier than it's ever been activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home, keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.

Patriot Mobile's all-U.S.-based support team is standing by to take care of you.

Our next one is Mishan.

Mishan, do we have you?

Unmute yourself, Mishon.

Mishan.

I'm unmuted.

There we go.

There we go.

Hey, hi, guys.

Hi, Mishan.

How are you?

I'm doing good.

You did a good job saying my name.

I'm proud of that because most people call me.

That's amazing.

But you know, Charlie, I've been on before, and the first time I told him my name, he got it right away.

And he nailed it.

That's amazing.

Charlie was bad at names.

Yeah, he was very bad at them.

So you were very fortunate that he nailed it.

Yeah, because the second time I called in, he didn't even have to ask how to pronounce it.

He knew it.

it.

He just.

Wow.

He does have a good memory.

He did.

Yeah, he remembered every detail.

Yeah, well, God bless you guys.

Love you guys.

Praying continually every day for all of you and, of course, all of the Kirk family.

And I know we'll be in a lot of sorrow for a long time, but I just am grateful you guys are lifting up Charlie's voice, his name, his legacy every single day.

And please don't ever stop doing that.

But my question to you guys has a little bit to do with the American Halftime Show.

That idea that you guys are coming up with I think isn't a wonderful idea I don't know if it'll come to fruition I'm hoping it will but you guys had put out a feeler for suggestions like what would you like to see in your survey whether it be worship music rock and roll jazz whatever and I did take that survey and I did select worship

And there's a wonderful Christian artist by the name of Kim Walker Smith.

Have any of you ever heard of her?

Yeah, she's great.

She actually performed at AmericaFest, I want to say

last year or two years ago, but she's spectacular.

And I think we might have her back at Amfest this year.

But yeah, she's incredible.

Yeah, and I don't, I don't, I didn't see that email, but I will say this, Mishon: a little insider scoop here for you.

In first place,

on people who want to the genre of music they want to hear, first place we have worship.

Second place, we have country,

third place, we have classic rock.

And then we have

anything in English.

Yeah,

that should be a given.

Right.

And then we have Americana, and then it goes pop, and then hip-hop's in last place.

Yeah.

Well, that worship is on the top.

We did it, Michael.

We got worship to the top.

Kim Walker Smith's excellent.

We're going to try to get her involved.

Yeah, have you heard her song that she came out with during 2020 Trump's election?

It was called Worth the Fight.

Yes, I have heard that song.

It's excellent.

Kim Walker Smith is excellent.

And we're very grateful for you in participating.

We're going to get some big voices, big names there.

I know that we had a great conversation yesterday with Corey Asbury.

And hopefully we're going to see a partnership there soon with some other big names in the worship industry.

But thank you so much, Mishaan, for calling in.

You bet.

God bless you guys.

All righty.

And now I think let's go to Jennifer.

Are you there, Jennifer?

Unmute yourself and what's your question?

I mean, it's bittersweet.

I

joined the Charlie Kirk show, became a member right after the turning point event in Tampa.

So fairly recent, and we took our 11-year-old daughter, so she's not quite old enough yet, but

she grew up listening to him.

So

thank you I mean it's just we were heartbroken you know that day but

as still but one of my questions and I actually have been trying to join for like the last month and so I'm so bummed that you know but I'm here now and I wanted to ask you know Turning Points thoughts about calling out more of the economic power of conservatives and Christians along the lines of like partnering with you know Robbie Starbuck or the public square company which is out of West Palm here in Florida And, you know, really praying to see more conservatives and importantly, Christians, that, you know, will steward their financial blessings more according to God's will and for his glory.

You know, really funding is really kind of fuels one or the other.

And I was just curious as turning points take on sort of championing that message.

Yeah, thank you, Jennifer, again.

We're always all in on,

we're very enthusiastic when conservatives realize they have economic power.

There are, what, 80 million Trump voters out there.

There are over 100 million Christians in the United States.

They have the power to do it.

Now, what we have to acknowledge is it's a lot of people.

They're sometimes a little difficult to direct.

And, you know, it was so funny when we had, for example, the big boycott against Bud Light.

I've been through.

This is another one.

I've been, yeah, or Target.

I've been through so many.

Again, I'm older than you guys.

I've been through a lot of attempted boycotts.

And, you know, some of them, it really seems like they should have been you know very straightforward vaporize them but the one that worked for example was Bud Light and it was almost like

it was like all the stars aligned perfectly because it was a product that was very ubiquitous and it was something you consumed publicly so it was easy to socially like bully people into doing it whereas a lot of products you just own personally and it's more on you yeah and so it's not always easy to tell what will take off and what won't.

So what I would always say is, if we can do it, I'm very much in favor of it.

And we've totally, we've, you know, we've had on the public square guys before on this show.

We've profiled a lot of those, we've had Robbie Starbuck on the show, we've talked about a lot of these boycott instances.

You know, it helps.

Also, if you're going to boycott someone, it can't hurt to, if you're going to do it, make sure you also send them an email, send them a message, send them a tweet.

Exactly.

Post on their Instagram or something.

Do something to make it clear why you are doing something, that you are motivated by something.

Because companies have a lot of sort of neurotic people who run their marketing departments?

And if they see a few angry emails, they can freak out.

And that can

have more power than just using your pocketbook.

Yeah, amazing.

Well, thank you so much, Jennifer.

Our next question is Donna.

Donna, do we have you?

Hi.

Amazing.

What's your question?

I'm in Maine.

I'm 62.

Charlie was in Maine in August.

He loved it.

Yeah.

I know, and I just missed him.

Yeah.

Are you guys going to come to Maine to do any event in the near future?

Or is everything going to stay out west?

Well, I know that Charlie's whole thing is he didn't want mission creep.

So he wanted to focus on what worked, and then he would just focus his energy on turning his one of his passions was to turn Arizona into the Florida of the West.

So he would always have people asking him, Charlie, can you come to California?

You know, can Turning Point Action do to California what they did in Arizona or Maine?

And so Charlie and I were literally in Maine for a whole month and a week together.

And we traveled the whole state.

We got to know thousands of different people.

And there's a great group called Maine Civic Action.

And I know that they're doing a lot of work.

It's backed by a very big donor.

And they're planning to do some very, very big and important work in the coming year, year and a half here so I although we do not have a big presence in Maine I know that there is groups that do have a big presence in Maine Charlie spoke at their event Maine Civic Action

and they I'll tell you this Mainers

They're fired up.

I can tell by just talking to you.

You know, Donna,

you guys are fired up.

And you're talking to the lobstermen and the

these are hard working class voters.

And I think there's a bigger silent majority.

But Maine needs to watch out for these third worlders coming in.

Oh, yeah.

Haiti.

Haiti.

It's really sinister what they do.

They do deliberately settle a lot of, like, you know, some of the most challenging to integrate migrants in, you know, random heartland parts of the United States.

Yeah.

Yeah, we were talking to some police there in Portland, Maine, and they were just telling us these crazy stories about how they're being overrun.

You've got hotels with 20 illegals all in one hotel room.

This police officer told us a story about how in Portland he gets a domestic violence call.

And when he shows up to the house, he comes in and it's 32 Somalian men just beating up a woman.

And he had to get in there.

And it's just, he's like, I can't, I don't even did.

He apologized because he was intruding on their culture?

Oh, it's it's Portland is

really going downhill.

It's awful.

And the mayor of Sykes Portland was no bueno.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

And yeah,

it's getting bad.

It's, I mean,

a lot of people think Maine is the quiet state tucked into the northeast,

but

it's like.

Because there's not much scene in Bangor,

but

it's like you guys would be surprised what's going on right under your nose.

Yeah,

I totally agree.

I do see in your written out question, you also are asking if Amfest is in Arizona.

It is in Arizona.

It is in Arizona.

Every year, the week before Christmas, the weekend before Christmas, every year, always in that window, same time, same place.

You know, you can book it out five years in advance if you need to, but we're always happy.

We're now in Charlie would always start ramping up the Amfest sales right around now.

Get yourself a nice Christmas gift, Donna.

Come to Amfest, celebrate in Arizona.

There's a lot to celebrate.

It's just a big celebration.

I remember the first Amfest I went to three years ago.

I wasn't really on, you know, Turning Point wasn't on my radar, and I showed up and it just, my eyes popped out of my sockets.
