Ask Us Anything 240: Bringing Young Women to the Right? Which Way NYC? No Kings Protest?

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.

Let's go to our first question.

We got Anthony.

Anthony, please unmute yourself.

You are the first question on our Ask Me Anything Friday.

Afternoon or morning, guys.

And Dan, really, you have to pull for the Dodgers.

That one hurts me.

So my question to you.

Don't let Andrew get any more.

I'm working it.

Tell the world

Back back channeling it back here.

All right, that's good.

I need out.

So here's my question, guys.

So last night in New York City, they had the mayor debates and everything.

New York, do people really understand if Bandami wins, which it probably will be, do they understand what this could trigger for other cities, other states?

you know because New York City is the iconic city of our country like do people understand this is not good if he wins?

Or are they just like being sucked in by fancy words,

the nice smile, the photo ops stuff, you know, where he can't bench 135 pounds?

You know?

Well, yeah, I mean, listen, here's, here's, I'm going to offer my take on it, and then Mikey, Danny, feel free to chime in.

I watched the debate.

First of all, I will give a little hat tip to the moderators.

I thought they did a

really fine job, actually.

They were pretty fair, and they managed it pretty well.

Momdani is head and shoulders above these guys just from a pure optic standpoint, just from a pure smooth answering the questions and messaging standpoint.

He focuses on the things that actually do matter to people.

And I know this because Charlie would focus on the same things, affordability.

When Charlie was talking about Gen Z, what was he talking about?

Economic moonshot, making homes more affordable, getting young people the opportunity to buy into the American dream, deporting illegals that were driving up housing costs, that were taking entry-level jobs, so that Americans could get those and get that first job on the rung of the ladder to economic independence and success.

These are things, and the Lords of Easy Money, here Steve Bannon talking about that, it's totally spot on.

When we debase our currency, that hurts the working class the most.

The assets owned by the rich inflate in value, and that distance between the haves and the haves-nots gets wider and wider and wider.

And so that's why it's so important that we focus on economics.

We have a limited amount of time to prove that the MAGA national populism conservatism is the ticket for an American revitalization of our economy and the economic prospects of the next generation.

We talk about it on this show.

I don't know why they're not talking about it in New York.

I don't know why Sliwa and Cuomo are not talking about it more.

Mom Dani is.

Now, his prescription is going to destroy the city.

There's no, his solutions are going to destroy the city, but at least he's talking about it.

But yeah, that's my point is that he is just simply better at this than them.

And he is a candidate that is built for the modern ecosystem, media ecosystem with social media and nifty slogans and all of this stuff.

That being said, Sliwa needs to drop out of the race.

I like him.

He's a nice man.

Fine.

He needs to drop out of the race.

He's a spoiler.

The only way to do this is for Sliwa to stop taking shots at Cuomo, put his support behind Cuomo, but he's probably not going to do that because he's kind of like a dogged, principled man, which is admirable, but politics is about the art of the possible.

We have to be pragmatists.

Charlie was always about pragmatists,

being pragmatic.

And so he needs to take a page out of Charlie's book, not look for the perfect, go for pragmatism.

That city cannot become a communist haven.

He will put in place apparatches, corruption.

He will riddle that budget with a ton of landmines that will take years and years to undo.

I'm telling you, you do not want this happening in our greatest city, our plan.

And I'm afraid, Andrew, that will trickle into the rest of the state then.

Yeah, no, it will.

It absolutely will.

And what's going to happen is it's going to legitimize him, and he's going to get endorsed by more and more mainstream Democrats, which is just going to further suck that party down a very, very dark and radical left hole.

You're right.

It will happen.

So what we have to do is we have to make sure our ideas work,

and we have to make sure our ideas work economically.

First and foremost.

There's one thing I'm going to add that no one is caught in New York, so you all know.

The New York Appeals Court has ruled in favor of the Democrats to allow all elections, federal, state, and local, to be on even years.

Local elections were on odd years.

So starting next year, all elections will be at the same time now so Democrats can start winning local elections because they're not getting turnout in the odd years.

Yeah, interesting.

Yeah.

Anything else you want to add?

I would just add it would be one thing if Slee was actually a good candidate, but yesterday he refused to raise his hand when they asked if if the NYPD would even cooperate with the National Guard there and all the crime going on, ICE and all that.

So their main problem is that their one supposedly Republican candidate is not even like any good.

He's weak.

He's ineffective.

Yeah, absolutely.

All right.

We've got Anthony, thanks so much for your call.

Thanks, guys.

All right.

We've got

Nick.

What's your question, Nick?

My question to you guys was,

it's a simple question, but what do you guys think is the best way to learn?

And if it is books, like a lot of people say, what do you think is like the best way to help retain that info?

Because I cannot retain the info that I'm reading in these books.

Yeah, I actually had a great conversation with Sergio Gore this last week at the White House, and we were talking about Charlie's ability to retain things.

And everybody always thought that he had this photographic memory, but he didn't.

He didn't have a photographic memory.

He would just,

his secret weapon is he wrote everything down.

He would have these journals with him, and he would write it down.

He said, When you write it down and then you reread what you wrote down, it helps you retain it in a way that's just crazy.

And so I would just start, I would start by reading a book a month on a topic that you feel inspired by.

If it's religion, maybe start with C.S.

Lewis or, you know, Not Enough Faith to be an Atheist, Frank Turek.

Or you can go down other random rabbit holes with Victor Frankl.

Man, Search for Meeting was one of Charlie's favorites.

But Charlie's retention rate for things, his ability to do that came from writing it down.

It It was a little bit.

Blake has great insight.

I wish he was here for this question, but

Blake probably darn near has a photographic memory.

He has a really good memory.

And

Blake will actually write in the books that he's reading.

So if you, you know, if you don't mind doing that to your books, some people feel very precious with books, but I totally agree.

But the other thing I would say, I almost do book reports, and oftentimes those book reports will come out as like tweets, and that helps me retain information.

So like if I'm really into a news story, for example, and there's all those details about names and what's this and that, I will write it down and sometimes I'll tweet about it.

And that process will, it just helps clarify what you're thinking about something because you have to structure an argument.

And when you have to structure an argument based on something you've just read, then

it really does help make it sink in.

Hey, everybody, Andrew Colvett, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show.

Charlie understood that to lead, he needed to learn.

Hillsdale College was ready to teach him.

While busy running his company, teaching America's youth, and raising a beautiful family, Charlie still found time to complete 31 Hillsdale College free online courses.

He talked about it the last time he spoke on his podcast with Hillsdale's president, Dr.

Larry Arn.

Hillsdale is the cutting edge, and I mean it.

It is America's greatest college.

You are a force of nature, Charlie Kirk.

One of these days, I'm going to give you an honorary degree.

That would be the honor of my life, but I got a lot more learning yet to do.

And I say this, the Hillsdale courses have changed my life.

Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, Charlie studied the Bible, the classics, the American founding, and through his relentless pursuit of truth, became not only a great American, but a good man.

Charlie's gone, but his spirit of hard work and lifelong learning carries on.

Each of us can follow his example and pick up where he left off.

So learn like Charlie did at charlieforhillsdale.com.

That's charlie for hillsdale.com.

All right, next question.

Jessica.

Jessica, are you there?

Unmute yourself.

I'm here.

Jessica, what's your question?

My question is,

Charlie Kirk did such a brilliant job with our young men.

So how do we reach out to our young women?

We have, I mean, it's the difference.

You know what I mean?

The young women really need to be reached out to.

Yeah, I totally agree.

So the question is, how do we get them?

How do we get young women?

Yeah, how do we get them?

So let me tell you a couple things.

One of the things I'm going to say is probably controversial, like if I said it in front of a bunch of libs, but we were noticing in the polling, this is before what happened to Charlie, that with our youngest women that are a voting age, so 18 to 21, Yale Youth Survey poll

did this poll on 18 to 21-year-old women, and we saw for the first time an R plus 4 with young women.

Now, that was pre-Iran, pre-some of the stuff with Israel, some some of the stuff with Epstein.

It's possible that's slid back the other direction because those things were very unpopular with young people.

And that was something Charlie and I would talk a lot about, Danny.

I'm sure you were talking about it a lot with him, too.

And so it's possible that slipped back, but it was the first time I've ever seen an R plus anything with young women.

The young men, I think, were like R19, R plus 19.

So we were already seeing the youngest women, and then Gen Alpha behind Gen Z

are more conservative still.

So there's good things coming.

So keep the faith on that.

There was actually an NBC article that came out and it was asking the question: Can Erica Kirk be to women what Charlie Kirk was to young men?

And I think the answer is, in my opinion, and Mikey, I'd love your perspective on this.

If you listen to her speeches,

especially, I think back to the memorial speech where she spoke directly to husbands and wives and young women.

And she said to young women, you are not your husband's rival.

You're not going to be,

your

virtue is a strength.

And so I do think she is calling out the, I guess you would say, the idols of our age because young women think they have to be promiscuous.

They have to flaunt their physical bodies all over the place where their hemline meets their neckline.

And it's, you know, that I think is out of, I think it's out of fashion more and more with young people.

So Charlie had this ability to reach young men and give them direction, but young women are the ones that are further to the left than young men, just in the data that we see.

And that's because they're the ones that pay attention to what the professor says in class, where the young men maybe are on Snapchat or social media.

You know, Mikey, you're just reminding me of something really quick here with this,

the NBC poll.

We talked about it a lot with Charlie, and I'm going to pull a graphic.

It's probably going to be a terrible graphic if you guys want to make it better.

Yeah, and just to kind of continue that point that I was making, with young women, we host a young women's leadership summit at Turning Point USA every single year.

We already put out an interest form this year for it, and the numbers are like almost double, where triple really, where they ever would have been in the past.

And so that's kind of a testament to Erica reaching them already.

But young women are harder to reach because they pay attention more.

They need more detail.

They need more understanding.

Whereas young men, you give them direction, you give them something to fight for, and they will chase after it.

And so people would always ask Charlie, why don't you have a young men's leadership summit?

And he goes, are you kidding me?

You think young men would pay attention to a lecture for 30 minutes, speaker after speaker after speaker?

And so, yeah, I think Erica is in a unique spot to reach these young women.

She already is.

She didn't have to add that to her memorial speech.

She felt called to add that.

She felt called because, you know, she knew that we had 120 million streams that we could track.

And I'm assuming there was a lot more because people were ripping the stream.

And we were cool with that.

We were just saying the memorial is for everybody.

And that was a good thing.

We were happy about that.

But listen, I'm going to throw up this image.

This is from NBC, and we talked about this with Charlie as well.

Which of the following is important to your personal definition of success?

And you see, young men say, having a job or a career you find fulfilling would be the top.

Having enough money to do the things you want, achieving financial independence, using your talents and resources to help others, making your family and community proud, owning a home, being married, having children.

Okay, that's a pretty good list.

Yeah.

But if you go to women, it's having a job or career you find fulfilling, having enough money to do the things you want, achieving financial independence, having emotional stability, using your talents and resources to help others, and owning your own home, having no debt.

And then down at 10 and 11 is having children and being married.

And so that's how highly young women are placing the things that will really, I think, stabilize your life and bring you actual happiness and joy.

Joy would be the operative word there.

But what's sad is that they put that, it's kind of right towards the bottom.

It's second to last.

So that's a huge problem that young women have been sold a lie that getting married and having children will somehow be a drag on them, that they won't be able to do what their first priority is, which is having a job and finding a fulfilling career, which is a weird, I mean, you would not have seen that in other generations.

Danny, you're on the dating scene.

Do you find this a lot?

Yeah, it's a real problem right now.

Young men, I just feel like, are more focused on actually having a family,

which is interesting.

Yeah, I feel like feminism plays a big role in that.

The lie of feminism.

It's really like third wave feminism, which is really toxic, which is trying to be equal with men in this sort of toxic masculinity.

You know, you could make a case for voting.

You could make a case for having equal opportunity in the workplace.

I think that's probably all fine, well, and good, and we've all come to see it that way.

But having the option and the freedom to do something is different than prioritizing it as your top priority, okay?

Having, Having a job for a young woman

is funny because Young Women's Leadership Summit, Charlie would always go viral.

Yeah.

Because he would always say, listen, the only reason to go to college if you're a woman is to get that MRS degree.

Meet a man, like get married and start having babies.

I mean, people would just erupt because he's not allowed to have those opinions as a guy.

Yeah.

Well, awesome.

Should we get to the

Micah?

All right.

Well, should we read his question?

Because this one is a good question.

Yeah.

What to do about liberal Christian schools?

I just need to do this super quick.

So I went to Oaks Christian.

That was my high school in California.

Rob Black is the headmaster there.

They are refusing a turning point USA chapter.

I sent him an email.

Shame.

You're not responding to me, Rob.

And I have a problem with that.

Same with Point Loma in San Diego.

Point Loma, this is a Christian school.

You're not allowing a turning point chapter.

They didn't even allow a Charlie Kirk Memorial at Point Loma until we threatened to sue.

So I'm a little confused at these Christian in name-only schools that are somewhat liberal.

Chinos?

Cheated.

Yeah, we need to use that.

Chinos.

These Chinos.

Only beta males wear Chinos.

No, I'm kidding.

I'd probably have a couple pairs.

I don't really wear Chinos.

I wear Chinos.

You do wear Chinos.

I love it.

I like Chinos.

There's no judgment here.

President Trump walked into a catch-22 when taking office.

Do nothing, and America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future.

Instead, he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train and buy us some time.

But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system, and experts predict dramatic price increases and market uncertainty.

Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you.

And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver.

Preserved gold is our go-to choice here at the Charlie Kirk Show.

We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver even inside your retirement accounts, like an IRA or 401k.

Now, hear from Charlie in his own words: Preserved gold is my go-to choice for all my precious metal needs.

They are the real deal, and I recommend them to my friends, family, and viewers.

President Trump is fighting for America's future.

Now it's your turn to help protect yours.

Andrew Colvett, joined by Danny Phillip and Mikey McCoy.

No, no, we're not going to do any more Mom Donnie impersonations.

I have to stop.

Unless Media Matters is looming.

You know what I mean?

Media Matters.

He is the king of fake accent.

He's a code switcher.

He's the one that started it.

Okay, so he fakes accents all the time.

So I'm faking the fake.

I'm faking the fake stern.

You're just doing what

he showed us the way on.

Caleb and Michelle, members.charliekirk.com.

If you want to join our AMAs, Caleb and Michelle, what's going on?

Hey, we thought Mikey's impersonations were hilarious.

Thank you.

Around the office, everybody's begging Mikey to do the impersonation.

He's got a great hydroxychloroquine one, but I don't know if we're

Stephen Hawking next week.

I'll take

Stephen.

It's really, really very good.

Okay.

What's your guys' question?

Hey, well, we haven't heard an AmericaFest update in a while, and our concern is, how are we going to fit all the people that are registered into the Phoenix Convention Center?

We have the same concern.

We actually turned some of the ticketing off because VIP filled up,

yeah.

But

the actual convention center can expand in our exhibitor hall.

The way it's formatted, there's actually ways to add more seating and to expand it.

So there is ways that we can do it.

And staging too, the amount of seats that we put there, if we do side seating versus more stadium seating or higher stadium seating.

So there are ways to fill it.

So that's not a a worry of ours.

But our worry is how can we get even more people there?

And it's really exciting because these people, usually they're Arizonans that are coming.

These are a lot of out-of-state people coming right before Christmas.

I would say Arizona gets like an outsized presence, but there's always like a lot of people from out-of-state.

I mean, we have all 50 states represented at Amfest every year.

We have it all 50 states, but it's just, it's going to be more and it's going to be bigger.

And I will tell you, everybody basically that we've asked to come speak at Amfest has been like yes please absolutely whatever we can do so we're going to have an amazing lineup of speakers at Amfest and so rest assured that is going to happen I thought you were going to ask about the halftime show because right now my inbox is our inbox is

the the what did I say they love it did I say did I say it wrong no halftime show no no I'm saying that every

Caleb do you are you excited about the halftime show Yeah, I think it's going to be a phenomenal thing.

I think we'll, I'm hoping the viewership exceeds the the people that are watching you know the other the other event that's going to be going on at that same time whatever that other one that other thing is we don't we don't whatever it is we don't know anything about it so i so i have to i i thought that's where this was going because i had the team prep all these clips uh but i will tell you we have triggered the left we have triggered the the the twitterati or the tick tock ratty uh on the left so let's i have to play a couple of these uh okay so here's all the clips let's play 282.

if you look at the common denominator around all these, I would call them white Christian nationalists, is they are all white.

And the Super Bowl halftime performer is

not.

Hmm.

Deep thoughts.

That's from a Louisville pastor.

A Louisville pastor.

That was really deep.

This is, you know, this is why.

You know, the rates of Christianity in the state, in the country had been dropping because we had to deal with these kind of beta males.

Okay,

do you want to chime in on this?

I just, at least, yeah, I'm just looking forward to our halftime show being in English.

Well, listen, okay, here's the thing.

We have a lot of Hispanic fans of this show and of Charlie.

This is not about, this is not anti-Hispanic.

It's Bad Bunny said you had four months to learn Spanish because he refuses to speak English, even though he's Puerto Rican, which is part of America, and he refuses to speak English.

Yeah, but from my lens, too, I could view this as we're an English-speaking country, and this is an English-speaking event.

It's also the biggest event on our soil.

Here's another clip: 296.

They're going to do their own halftime show,

Lee Greenwood Tid Rock.

It's going to be sponsored by like Minute Made, White Rice, Salt, and Bottled Water.

It's so funny how much people have keyed into the racial side of this.

It's so strange.

Bottled water.

We had no, there was zero racial anything in our thinking about this event at all.

Like at all.

I can tell you, like, behind the scenes, we weren't like, we need to do an event for white people.

You know, like, that didn't even come into the conversation.

At the intellectual depth of some of these people.

Yeah.

Like, his roasts aren't even that good.

White rice and bottled water.

Like, what are you trying to get at?

That's not even funny or deep or good.

I don't know.

Okay, this one actually kind of made me laugh.

Like, sometimes, okay, hat tip when it can make you laugh.

366.

Turning Point USA will host counter-programming to the Super Bowl halftime show after a mega meltdown over the NFL choosing Bad Bunny as this year's headliner.

Adding, we're so happy to announce our headliners, Kid Rockin' and AR-15.

It's actually stupid, but it made me laugh a little bit.

Okay, I want to play one more.

Let's see.

This is a Lib Karen.

We'll get one Lib Karen in there, 363.

Charlie Kirk's Network just announced that they're going to have a rival

halftime show.

And all-American

rival halftime show.

Puerto Rico.

is a United States territory.

Puerto Ricans are U.S.

citizens.

I have never wanted to learn Spanish more.

You have four months.

Puerto Rico is an American.

Like, where

that was.

You know what it reminded me of?

Is like the, you know, the weather forecasters in Southern California or something.

And they'd be like, you know, they would be,

and the clouds are going to be moving in from the west over Santa Barbara.

And then it was just like, you know, anyways.

I mean, she can move move to Puerto Rico if she really wants to.

There's nobody stopping you from learning Spanish.

I actually

studied abroad and learned Spanish.

I have no problem with Spanish.

Yes.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, Vivil Rado en España.

Yeah.

Anyways, there's nothing wrong with Spanish.

There's nothing wrong with.

It's just so funny that so many people took this as like a anti-Hispanic.

That's not anti-Hispanic.

The guy will not stand for the American National Anthem.

The guy doesn't like this country.

He won't perform in America because he's worried about ICE.

Anyways, we just had to we had to go in that.

Caleb, final thoughts?

Yeah, sure.

The other thing is it's not just the Spanish thing.

I think for years we have been feeling like a certain cultural element is being thrust upon us at these shows, like the Emmys and every halftime show.

And it's like the debauchery, the,

you know, and it's like we want something that feels American.

We don't feel like that we're a part of these halftime shows and we don't feel like they're celebrating things that we want to celebrate.

So why not have our own thing?

And it's not racial motivated at all.

Yeah,

booty cheeks and debauchery do not define.

Yeah, you know what I can't watch anymore?

And as a kid, I remember watching it.

I cannot watch the Grammys.

I haven't watched it.

The Grammys can't.

It is so bad.

It's filth.

The Oscars at least...

kind of still tries to, you know, the elegant dresses and stuff, and they don't do the like see-through.

But at the Grammys,

wasn't it like Kanye's wife or whatever?

Didn't she just like show up in a completely new

way?

Anyway, but this is also, this is stuff that Mom Donnie's pushing for, not just debauchery to be platformed, for prostitution to be legalized.

You want hookers on the show, he's in America's biggest.

I guess you notice this, by the way, this is this is such an important moment.

He says, I didn't, I never added, that's a lie from Andrew Cuomo about prostitution being legalized.

And then they get to the later part of the question, like, would you prosecute it?

He was like, Well, I wouldn't prosecute it.

So, de facto legalization of prostitution.

So, anyways, it's totally the same thing.

Uh, Caleb and Michelle, thank you as always.

Let's get to the next question here.

Uh, who's next, Emma?

We got, is it Christine?

I'm here.

Hi.

What's your question?

Hi.

My question is about this, this No Kings Day tomorrow.

What would this demonstration do?

Could it throw a wrench in the Republicans' efforts, or is this just political theater?

I just don't understand why they're doing it or why the Democrats are holding out for this.

Yeah,

I feel like this is just, this is typical of the left, and this isn't their first protest of this sort.

It's a lot of noise with no substance, and you oftentimes forget about it a few days later.

But something I pointed out to Andrew a little while ago is I think it's really ironic and rich that the smaller party is the one shutting down the government.

And then once they shut down the government, that same smaller party is the one saying Trump is king.

I just, it's a little ironic to me.

I don't know.

What do you think, Danny?

Yeah, he wouldn't have.

I mean, if he was really a king, they wouldn't even be able to protest.

Yeah, they weren't flipping.

Yeah, you won't be able to protest.

And you would not be able to shut down the government.

Yeah,

I don't know if it will have effect.

Yeah, no,

here's what it is.

So the entire Democrat Party is under a lot of pressure right now from their left base.

So their left flank, right?

That would be the DSA, Democrat Socialists of America, the Antifa base, the Foot Soldier base, the activist base.

And Chuck Schumer and all these guys went along with a continuum resolution earlier in the year, and they got shellacked for it.

Absolutely shellacked.

And AOC is waiting in the wings to primary him.

Okay, so this is a big problem for establishment Democrat politicians.

They need to show that they are with the people and that they're fighting the good fight against the tyrant Donald Trump.

But here's the bigger problem and why this is actually dangerous is there's going to be a lot of pent-up rage.

Where's the rage coming from?

A lot of it is disinformation.

And you see this.

Actually, give me the clip, guys, of

Don Lamon, okay?

Don Lamon talking about

getting armed.

Here's what's happening right now.

So there's a bunch of misinformation around ICE, specifically ICE.

So you've got these showdowns in portland you got the showdown in chicago and i was looking for a thread here uh somebody uh put together a really great thread of all of these ice stories that have gone massively viral on blue sky and on left-wing twitter and they're all lies so whether that be a picture of uh somebody arresting a four-year-old toddler you know it's not actually a true story at all it was a It was a father that was playing, the kid had asked to be, you know, put handcuffs on him like he was getting arrested.

But there's many, many such stories where they're saying, oh, if you're black and brown, you're going to be arrested.

Yeah.

And so they all believe this lie that you're just going to get arrested if you're black and brown.

Really quick, 343.

Black people,

brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out

in your place where you live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally.

Because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment was written for?

Go back and read what the Second Amendment says.

So they just want to foment a lot of rage, and the Democrats just want to look like they're doing something about Mino Trump.

So they're using disinformation to do that.

We truly are living in a historic time.

After 738 days, the 20 living Israeli hostages have been released from captivity, and those who were killed will finally rest in peace near their loved ones.

Praise God.

In this time of celebration, our good friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews send their deepest gratitude for your prayers and unwavering support.

Thanks to you, the fellowship has provided $300 million in emergency aid since October 7th, including millions in direct support for the hostages and their families.

Of course, the road ahead is still a long one.

Much needs to be done to restore and revive these victims of terrorism.

But that's exactly what the fellowship does.

For example, they're assisting returned hostages, along with their families and friends, with immediate medical, psychological, and financial support.

They're also providing mental health care for Israelis of all ages.

To find out how you can help, visit ifcj.org.

That's ifcj.org.

There's a thread, and I'm going to find it.

Actually, Blake was the one who flagged it for me.

But it's basically, it's about six or seven stories.

And the person that put this thread together highlighted just how many millions of views these stories have, and they're all lies.

And the person debunks them each one by one.

And it's basically just: if you're black or brown, if you're a citizen, they're going to come into your door, they're going to knock on it, they're going to drag you out in front of your family, and they're going to send you to some foreign country, even though you're an American citizen.

Not happening.

It's not happening.

And so, for Don Lamon, who has something of a platform, obviously we find him to be something of a joke, they are

trying to stoke outrage.

That's their whole thing right now.

Be outrage, be mad.

And we're living under a tyrant.

They're weaponizing the judicial system.

I am very, very worried for our ICE officers all around the country because a lot of this anger is being thrown at them.

And it's really not fair because they're just doing the job that the American people voted for and that their elected officials finance with the One Big Beautiful Bill to add more more ICE agents and to do mass deportations.

This was not something that we hid in the campaign.

We wanted mass deportations.

Danny, I know you wanted mass deportations.

Yeah, I love how Don Lamont is suddenly now pro-gun when it comes to protecting illegal aliens, but when it comes to protecting your own family, he doesn't want anybody to have a gun as well as

how he framed it.

He's like, you've got to protect your family with your gun because ICE is going to come in and raid your home because you're black and brown.

And that's true.

But only

guns.

But this is it is it is some somewhat disturbing because right-wing gun culture is like very established.

It's hunting.

It's passed down generationally.

These people are like,

this is deranged stuff.

So this is like a whole different vibe, right?

And you see this with the armed LGB, you know, the armed queer SLC group that I'm that we are you know looking into right now.

Did they know about Charlie's the assassination that was going to happen against Charlie?

And, you know, but this is a John Brown gun club.

There is a very insidious left-wing gun culture, armed militia culture that's happening.

And we have to be on the lookout for it because, you know, these people do not believe in the liberal values of open debate and open dialogue.

They've rejected them outright.

And we saw that with Mark Bray, the Rutgers professor that wrote the Antifa book.

The whole book is advocating for preemptive violence to smash fascism.

And what is fascism?

It's conservatives.

That's what they think of conservatives.

They think we're all Nazis.

All right, next question.

Brandon, I think we have Brandon.

Is that the next one?

I think we're waiting for Brandon.

Do we have emails that we want to get to?

Yeah.

Andrew, there's multiple emails asking about your hair gel.

I keep seeing it.

No, there's two.

There's two.

Two.

Okay, so we want to know.

Yeah, wait.

So it's actually, I use crew.

Oh, good.

I think it's crew fiber.

What?

I just had to bring it up.

You had to, you, Jerk.

You had to.

No,

so it, it, it, So what happened was I started to have to, you know, be on the show every day.

And normally my hair is kind of like crazy and dry.

And so all of a sudden I was like, well, I can't, you know, it's just too risky to go that way.

So I was just like, this way, I just like come back and it kind of like sits down.

All right, Brandon, what's your question?

Let's get on to something more wholesome.

Hey, guys, just a little context for this question.

So I gave a speech about my Charlie Kirk journey last night at our local Ronald Reagan dinner in Iowa.

And, you know, I was preparing for it and after I gave in afterwards, I was, I was kind of thinking, like, how does Charlie prepare for his speeches?

And then afterwards, you know, how does he, you know, who gives him feedback?

Does he take notes on what he did?

Like, how does he get better after every speech?

Mikey, why don't you take this one?

Yeah, he, yeah.

Well, sometimes actually, Charlie used to do a lot of speech prep, but then he got to a point in the later years where he was just so good at giving speeches that some days he would just like right before, take 10 minutes and do five bullet points and then get on stage and just riff.

I, I guess, it was a gift that he had.

I have so many memories of Charlie, like when I when I would be with him, you know, before a speech, and he'd be like, we'd be backstage.

He goes, um, so what do you think I should talk about?

Like, I'm like, Charlie, you're going on in two minutes.

Like, they're literally announcing you.

You just, like, put me on the spot.

Like, what, what do I need to talk about?

What do you want to talk about?

This is the other thing that's really cool about Charlie is people actively avoid QA because you never know what you're going to get.

It's the wild unknown, is what Charlie used to call it.

And

it's exciting.

You're out in the streets.

You're basically fighting with words.

And people try to avoid QA, but Charlie would actively seek it.

So he would say, can I just do like a 10, 15-minute speech and then 45 minutes of QA?

And events that he went to, they loved that about him.

So

I just encourage everybody who gives speeches to just keep on getting to the point where you give so many of them and you do such a good job that you can inevitably get to the point that Charlie was at where he just goes on stage.

Yeah, just repetition is key.

Just do more.

And if you're not doing a lot, if you have these one-offs, I would say prep a lot, practice, go into like a private place and

read it out.

Yeah, read out the speech.

You have to say it out loud.

Do it out loud.

Don't just read it.

It takes like 10 times reading a speech before you kind of have it in the back of your head.

So then you don't have to look down at the paper as much or your iPad or whatever you read.

Yeah, I do not actually give a lot of speeches, but that's what I did for the memorial speech.

And now, I mean, you and I have both been asked to speak a lot of places.

I don't know if I'm going to be an active speech giver, but I will say that in that moment, I just did a lot of it.

I just read it back and read it back and read it.

You know, who's actually good at speeches?

And this is Danny.

Danny's good at speeches, and he gave them all the time at Ohio State.

Danny was the chapter prez.

Yeah, not that good, but

I was better at just prepping for Charlie.

We do have a question here from Elizabeth.

Do you have anyone organizing Charlie's reading list that we can access online?

You cannot access it yet, but we are actively working on it.

And Blake is running point on that.

We have to find that tweet.

This guy put out a tweet where he said, I heard you guys talking about it on the show, and so I went back and watched every single episode.

And made a lease send it.

This guy's great.

We got to find him.

We got to find that tweet.

I know.

Let me know.

That should have been flag bookmark and everything.

And by the way, I think we have

something going on.

I found it.

We found it.

Oh, here we go.

No, please don't forget.

Yeah, here we go.

Here we go.

Uh-oh.

We're losing them.

This is not going to work.

Oh, look at it.

We have a cake on set for radio because

Mikey is turning 18 today.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Happy birthday.

16.

16.

All I want for my birthday is for you guys to reach out to the Oxford Union and shame George Aberone.

Shame.

Shame.

There it is.

All right.

Thank you guys.

This is very good.

Happy birthday.

Yep.

Oh.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Everybody wants to know how old you're turning, Mike.

In it's it really is 18.

No, 16.

16.

You can finally drive to work.

I got my permit.

Yeah, Mikey, Mikey, you have that baby face.

It's going to serve you well for years to come.

Thank you.

Well, happy.

So your one wish is to shame the Officers' Union.

Yeah, or make a contribution.

Yeah, there you go.

That's amazing.

Make a contribution, Turning Point USA, make a donation or get involved.

And that's what you can do.

You guys have really stepped up in the aftermath of everything that we've gone through as a show.

And I can just tell you the downloads of the podcast, the streams, like it's just been incredible and so heartening.

And, you know, somehow, someway, we're finding a way through this.

And it's a family affair, as you can see.

And we're just so appreciative of you all.

And we're just

overwhelmed by God's faithfulness in one of the most tragic, terrible situations imaginable.

I think that's safe to say.

And we miss our friend dearly every day.

I don't know about you, Mikey.

It's the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to bed.

But having this show and

our show family at the Charlie Kirk Show means the world to us, and you've kept us strong.
