Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
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'll end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same.
Here I am. Lord, use me.
Speaker 1 Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.
Speaker 1 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.
Speaker 3 All right, welcome back to hour two of the Charlie Kirk Show.
Speaker 3 This is Friday, hour two, which means we take your questions, the Ask Us Anything hour, members.charlikirk.com, if you want to join and you want to ask questions. So, first up, we have Josh.
Speaker 3 Josh, can you hear me?
Speaker 4 Yes, I can.
Speaker 3 What's going on?
Speaker 4 Well, I got a question here for Ohio on campaigns. I know that Vivek is a big friend, was a big friend of Charlie's and TPUSA and part of the war room posse.
Speaker 4 Wanted to find out if TPUSA has any plans to help campaign here in Ohio for governor. And then also to part of the question with the redistricting that's supposed to happen here in Ohio.
Speaker 4 I know our biggest challenge is the Rhino State Supreme Court justices and wanted to see if TPUSA is involved or might be involved with, say, the war room in getting our state redistrict for Republicans.
Speaker 3 Yeah, so the back story here is that there is a redistricting plan that actually Governor DeWine has ultimately decided to endorse and support, which is a good sign, which would take it up from 10 out of the 15 seats in Ohio that would favor Republicans to 12 out of the 15 districts that would favor Republicans.
Speaker 3
So yeah, your point is well made on the Supreme Court. That's going to be, because the maps have to be submitted and approved by the state Supreme Court.
And so that's going to be the big fight there.
Speaker 3 I will immediately after this show get involved with, or I'll get in contact with Tyler Boyer on the C4 side, turning point action. I've seen some,
Speaker 3 let's just say, communication going back and forth on that. We are supportive of the redistricting and in Indiana, where we unfortunately got flummoxed by a one-holdout Republican.
Speaker 3 But I think Ohio has a good shot of going through because you have somebody like DeWine that's voiced his public support
Speaker 3
for that effort. So to the extent that turning point action can be helpful, we 1,000% want to be.
And we can get you more answers on exactly how that might look in
Speaker 3 shows to come.
Speaker 4 Perfect. Thank you.
Speaker 3
Yeah. And I think Vivek's going to end up running away with the nomination and the governorship in Ohio.
That's just my personal opinion.
Speaker 3 And
Speaker 3
we're very supportive of Vivek. We're still in communication with Vivek.
And, yeah, that's, I mean, what do you think about that race?
Speaker 4 I like the VEC.
Speaker 4 Only problem is the Ohio GOP is corrupt, and they've already endorsed a candidate before a primary, which I think a lot of people might have issues with that. They did the same thing when
Speaker 4 Devwine was running. They endorsed him before a primary and ran, I forget her name, the Lieutenant Governor in Durkasich, out of the race, and she was the conservative there.
Speaker 4 So, yeah, I like the Vec. I'm excited about him, and I think he's the best candidate we have here in Ohio.
Speaker 3 Yeah, that's been our conclusion as well. I don't know if Blake or Mike, you have anything to add, but
Speaker 3 we in general are very supportive of the redistricting, I will tell you.
Speaker 5 Yeah,
Speaker 2 I don't have too much to add to that. You know, we're supportive of, I don't think, just regarding Vivek specifically, we haven't endorsed anyone specifically in that primary.
Speaker 2 I know there's still multiple people running. We will obviously be supportive of whoever the Republican is.
Speaker 2 It seems like Vivek is doing very well, and if he's the candidate, we will, of course, back him, and we'll back him on, we'll back the redistricting effort, which has become very popular all across the country.
Speaker 2 Pretty straightforward on that front.
Speaker 2 If it becomes about rejiggering the state Supreme Court,
Speaker 2 we'll be involved in that too.
Speaker 7 Although that's
Speaker 2 there's so many layers to this.
Speaker 2 It starts off with us just having to you know try to redraw maps and then it's okay now we have to win an election and then we have we have to recall or replace state Supreme Court justices.
Speaker 2 And then this suddenly is a multi-year thing.
Speaker 2 It's quite the process.
Speaker 3
Yeah. And just for the record, I do want one minor little correction.
While Blake is right on the turning point action side, Charlie did endorse Vivek for governor personally
Speaker 3 before, obviously, he was taken from us.
Speaker 3 Next question. Who's next?
Speaker 3 Christine?
Speaker 8 Hi, guys. How are you today?
Speaker 3
Hey, Christine. Doing well.
How are you?
Speaker 8
I'm good. I'm good.
I'm sure we all want this shutdown to end, right? This Democratic-driven shutdown at 31 days.
Speaker 8 I was wondering if we could use the TPUSA platform to maybe encourage five moderate Democratic senators
Speaker 8 who might likely flip. Maybe a viral campaign could flip their votes for a clean CR.
Speaker 8 Thoughts on leading that charge?
Speaker 2 Do we really feel we're the right people to make Democrats change their POVs on that one?
Speaker 2 I feel almost
Speaker 2 still dirty, like I'm in an oil slick on myself or something.
Speaker 8 But
Speaker 8 shouldn't we be the ones encouraging them to do the right thing?
Speaker 6 Yeah, to find the phone numbers and to call the office. And yeah,
Speaker 6 we've done things like that in the past.
Speaker 3 Well,
Speaker 3 there's a few senators that have shown that that they are looking for an excuse so slotkin uh would be one of them uh obviously fetterman there there are swing state senators that are gonna that are looking down the barrel of uh electoral upheaval if they don't get the government open and if they fear credibly that they are going to be saddled with some of the blame for this.
Speaker 3 So I think your instinct is right. And I think once again,
Speaker 3 I'm going to take this this recommendation uh tyler and i have a call this afternoon so we'll we're gonna take it right to turning point action i i don't think it's a bad idea anything can help but again we have a we have a couple races that we're looking at right we're looking at virginia we're looking at nor uh new jersey we are sort of that's our focus right now i i you know we have to be prudent about the way we deploy resources.
Speaker 3 And, you know, money is finite, and so we just have to be we have to be good stewards of that. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 3 this is not our main focus, if I'm being candid with you. And I think Democrats are going to have to realize that
Speaker 3
I think that they've already maximized the amount of political upside for themselves with the shutdown. But we don't know how it's going to play out.
We really don't.
Speaker 3 And I think when we talked about this in hour one with the government, with Trump sort of bringing up nuking the filibuster, I think that's saber-rattling.
Speaker 3 I think that's to scare Dems and to get them compliant and to break ranks and finally open the the government back up with a clean CR. So
Speaker 3 that's my personal opinion on the matter. But we have another
Speaker 3
question here from Michael. Michael, if you are with us, unmute yourself.
You're welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Speaker 5 Yes.
Speaker 5
Good day. I'll go with the North Carolina one first.
You know, we have suffered from, I think, a lack of really Republican senators here in North Carolina. The Burrs left.
Now Tillis has left.
Speaker 5 We've got this this seat available. Looks like Cooper and Watley are going to be running.
Speaker 5 What do you think of Watley? He's a first-time candidate for anything, his chances of winning this state. And I guess, will TPE action be working in North Carolina?
Speaker 5 Have you decided to make a move to help us here?
Speaker 3 Well, North Carolina is an interesting state.
Speaker 3 Blake, I don't mean to talk over the top of you. It is a, I think it's, you know, the definition of a purple state, but we're maybe like light red, pink, especially on these state-level races, right?
Speaker 3 You had Dan Bishop running for AG, didn't get in, who's a great candidate. It's a tough state to win at the,
Speaker 3 you know, whether it's senators or governorship. It tends to kind of like flip back and forth between,
Speaker 3 you know, governor and AG and senators and presidential races. So it's just one of those crazy states, but we do have a good track record of winning senators from the state of North Carolina.
Speaker 3 So let's hope that that holds. As far as Michael Watley goes, you know, Michael's been a friend of
Speaker 3
turning point action, friend of Charlie's. I think he did a great job as chair of the RNC.
And this is the candidate that President Trump wants.
Speaker 3 And so I think once you get that endorsement, there sort of necessarily has to be a
Speaker 3 coalescing of support around a single horse so we can get that horse over the over the top. So
Speaker 3 I don't have more than that for you right now as far as what, again, turning point action.
Speaker 3 Listen, we get asked to go in a billion directions and I just want to say we've gotten really good at saying no something Charlie told us and we have to point our resources where they're going to be the highest and best use of those resources
Speaker 7 In business, they say you can have better, cheaper, or faster, but you can only pick two. What if you could have all three at the same time?
Speaker 7 That's exactly what Cohere, Thompson Reuters, and Specialized Bikes have since they upgraded to the next generation of the cloud. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Speaker 7 OCI is the blazing fast platform for your infrastructure database application development and AI needs where you can run any workload in a high availability, consistently high performance environment and spend less than you would with other clouds.
Speaker 7 How is it faster? OCI's block storage gives you more operations per second.
Speaker 3 Cheaper?
Speaker 7 OCI costs up to 50% less for compute, 70% less for storage, and 80% less for networking.
Speaker 2 And better?
Speaker 7
Well, in test after test, OCI customers report lower latency and higher bandwidth versus other clouds. Don't take it from me.
Take it from Charlie.
Speaker 1 Nobody does data better than Oracle. If you want to do more and spend less, take a free test drive of OCI at oracle.com slash Kirk.
Speaker 3 Blake, you have an email you want to read here.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I just wanted to flag this. So someone sent this to freedom at charliekirk.com during the break.
And I want to flag it.
Speaker 2 Caleb said, please shout out TP Action Field Rep Hudson Price, who is organizing coalitions in the Raleigh area. He is doing doing a great job and can use help.
Speaker 2
So if you are in the Raleigh area, maybe you will hopefully be able to meet field rep Hudson. He's great.
Help us
Speaker 2
turn North Carolina from a purple state to a solid red state, which we are always fighting to do. So we'll shout out Hudson there.
Thank you for that email, Caleb.
Speaker 3 You know, it is Halloween today, Blake. Do we say happy Halloween on this show? Like, what's, you know, what are the rules?
Speaker 2 Mikey's an anti-Halloween hater.
Speaker 5 I'm an anti-Halloween.
Speaker 2 He's a Halloween hater. We should have had you last night.
Speaker 6 I know. I had a dinner I had to make.
Speaker 2 You could have blown off the dinner. Are you a Halloween fan?
Speaker 2 I am pro-Halloween.
Speaker 5 It's not going to work for us.
Speaker 3
I'm pro too. Charlie and I would disagree about this.
To be fair, Charlie was very against it. He was very against it.
Charlie was.
Speaker 3 He thought it was playing with the occult and toying.
Speaker 2 Don't play with the occult. Don't do watching horse then.
Speaker 5 Yeah, bite the body.
Speaker 6
Okay, you guys are the exception. I would say a majority of people, they play along.
So it's a problem. Just get rid of it.
Most people like the filibuster.
Speaker 2 Most people just do spooky, scary skeleton stuff.
Speaker 5 Nuke it. Yeah.
Speaker 3
Nuke Halloween. Most of it's just kitschy.
Most of it's just kitschy. And I will tell you, my kids love it.
Speaker 3
They dress up like princesses and ninjas, and we go to a party with a bunch of other Christians. We do the whole harvest party thing.
And then we go trick-or-treating.
Speaker 3
And then when it gets like a little too dark, everybody comes home. And then they get candy and they're excited.
And then we make them only eat one piece a day.
Speaker 2 Yeah, I do not have to do that.
Speaker 2 Charlie was letting himself get a little too swayed by the same, you know, he was a Protestant. You, Protestants, well, you give you guys too much rope, and you guys want to ban Christmas.
Speaker 2 I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 Blake, Blake, let's open it up to the audience. You tell us: are you pro or anti-Halloween? Send us an email, freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
Speaker 3
Blake will be forced to read them, even if they disagree with Blake's position on Halloween. And mine.
That's freedom at charliekirk.com. We want to know what you think about Halloween.
Speaker 3 You know,
Speaker 3 a lot of people argue about the roots of it. Is it Christian? Is it not Christian?
Speaker 3 Let's say, Anthony, you're up next.
Speaker 9 Hi, guys.
Speaker 3 Hey, Anthony, how you doing?
Speaker 9 Good. So my question is this.
Speaker 9 My high school, McCoy Jesuit in Rochester, New York, there are 90-plus students and three staff or faculty members that have signed a petition to start a turning point chapter.
Speaker 9 They have had two meetings with administration, and it's the way it goes. It's the principal and the dean of students, which is the assistant principal, because it is a private school.
Speaker 9
The dean of students is supportive of the boys. The principal is refusing to look at any petition.
He's refusing to hear anything out. He is refusing to talk.
And this makes it even weirder.
Speaker 9 A boarded trustee member or a board member at the school even went to the principal and the principal refused to listen to he or she.
Speaker 9 But the school allows a gender equity club, a black student union, a pride club.
Speaker 9 And when I graduated in, and I'll say it, the class of 2002, we never had that because the slogan was men for others, and we didn't care what you looked like.
Speaker 9
And now, all of a sudden, it's starting to shift. The boy, the students are conservative.
The staff is leaning with some staff is leaning to the left.
Speaker 9 And I found out from the TP rep, who's been great,
Speaker 9 that some staff or faculty are actually making nasty comments to the boys about the chapter not being approved.
Speaker 9 How do we, myself or other alums, go about helping them? Because 90-plus students in a school of a little less than 700, and this is sixth through 12th grade.
Speaker 2 First off, why am I just not surprised this is happening at a Jesuit institution? I needed to say that.
Speaker 2 Jesuits, man, they're something really wrong.
Speaker 9 I just had the news with Lyola University in New Orleans, where the student government said no to the chapter. That's probably going to go to a lawsuit and that'll change everything.
Speaker 9 But like, how can these boys get support nationally? And I've made comments on private Facebook groups, and it's gone viral in the community. Even my own high school is trying to disrover, New York.
Speaker 6 In what school?
Speaker 9 McQuay Jesuit. It is in the town of Brighton, but it uses the address of Rochester, New York.
Speaker 9 I've actually been discredited. The TP rep said there's been talk about you being discredited not being on Charlie's show before
Speaker 9 and everything. So I sent her the clip of the day I called in the Friday before the memorial to share my memory
Speaker 9 and everything.
Speaker 3 So we totally have your back, and I think we should probably blow this up a little bit more. Yeah.
Speaker 9 Well, I think we should because the principal actually was a counselor at the school, but then worked in the public school system before ever coming to McQuaid.
Speaker 9 So there's really no tie from what I can see and everything.
Speaker 5 So yeah, I would love to blow it up.
Speaker 6
Yeah, I mean, I went to a Christian school actually a couple weeks ago. I said they didn't start a chapter.
They actually did start a chapter.
Speaker 6 I know that we've been trying to for years, but
Speaker 6
leadership is important. Rob Black, who's the president of Oaks Christian, he was incredible.
He got the chapter approved. He's just the best with the school, but not all schools are like that.
Speaker 6 I mean, Oaks has been great and their chapter is huge right now, but
Speaker 7 you've got to just stay on top of it.
Speaker 6 I mean, we can definitely help. I just wrote it down, but the principal seems like that's the problem there.
Speaker 6 I don't think you guys are as blessed blessed as my high school was with a great headmaster and president of the school. Well,
Speaker 3 the best head to blow it all.
Speaker 9
We have a president of the school, so you know. So it goes president, principal.
Well, actually, there's a vice president of operations who leaned to the left a little, I found out.
Speaker 9
So it goes president, vice president, principal, dean of students, which is assistant principal. So it goes kind of in that pecking order.
So you know.
Speaker 1 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.
Speaker 1 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.
Speaker 7 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.
Speaker 7 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.
Speaker 7
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.
Speaker 7 Patriot Mobile's all-U.S.-based support team is standing by to take care of you.
Speaker 3 Charlie and Glenn over at Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 7 Dear, dear friends. So I'll give the last word to Charlie.
Speaker 1 Call 972 Patriot today or go to patriotmobile.com slash Charlie. Use promo code Charlie for a free month of service.
Speaker 1 That's patriotmobile.com slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot and make the switch today.
Speaker 3 Blake, you've got a write-in question. You want to yes, yes.
Speaker 2 So this is a write-in question, and it's on something we've gotten a lot of questions about, you can imagine. But I thought this one was well
Speaker 2
formulated, and so Mikey and I wanted to say something to it. So this is from Dennis.
He said,
Speaker 2 just wondering if you would be willing to comment on the recent interview Tucker Carlson had with Nick Fuentes.
Speaker 2 I was quite frankly surprised, as Nick had said, some very hurtful comments about both Charlie and Erica Kirk. I wonder if this interview may have platformed Nick.
Speaker 2 Personally, I have a very difficult time interview. I would have a very difficult time interviewing someone who made those statements about a dear friend.
Speaker 2 I understand being willing to have open debate, but there are also boundaries we as believers need to draw as well. Curious for your thoughts.
Speaker 2
It was from Dennis' email, but it is from Katie. Katie, who is probably his wife, I imagine, wrote that.
So thank you, Katie. I wanted to, Mikey, I thought you might want to respond first.
Speaker 6 I know that
Speaker 6 Charlie loved Tucker, and
Speaker 6 specifically Tucker being at America Fest this year, that was a Charlie pick.
Speaker 6 And I know Charlie was always very anti-what he would call moral blackmail, where people would just kind of say, you can't have, you know, you cannot have this speaker there.
Speaker 6
And Charlie would respond with, you know, that's all the more reason for me to want to have this speaker here. He would double, triple down.
And so Charlie...
Speaker 6 That's kind of the Charlie response here.
Speaker 2 The context there, because some people have said, like, they want to disinvite Tucker. They want to push Tucker out of the movement because he interviewed Fuentes and all of that.
Speaker 2 So that's the context for what they're saying. And Charlie was, as you said,
Speaker 2
he used that phrase. He disliked moral blackmail.
He was this very combative Scottish guy.
Speaker 2 If you were going to say, you can't have this person there, that made him more likely
Speaker 2 to want them there. And he faced that pressure repeatedly over the past summer and pretty much up until
Speaker 2
his murder. And so I think that would strongly influence that.
But I actually do, I want to say something brief here.
Speaker 2 I am disappointed that Tucker did do that interview,
Speaker 2 at least in the manner that it did. It's perfectly fine to say I am an open platform who will interview and speak with anyone.
Speaker 2 But what we did get is we did get what was a very friendly interview. That was a chance for someone, for Nick specifically, to look very positive, very reasonable.
Speaker 2 And there was not much effort to bring up any, a lot of the reasons people do dislike him.
Speaker 2 Like, it's not simply that Nick has, like, criticized Israel, and so people like Ben Shapiro have attacked him over this. It's more extreme than that.
Speaker 2
He's used phrases where he says, like, world Jewry is this, like, thing that we need to fight against. He's referred to Israel as the Antichrist.
He has said pretty extreme things.
Speaker 2
I think he may have even said, you know, implied that we should, like, I think, kick Talmudists out of America. I don't, don't quote me on that one.
I am not an expert on all Fuente's lore.
Speaker 2
But these things, these are things he said. And I think if you are going to interview him, you should at least bring them up.
And instead, it was just this, it was very
Speaker 2 generous in tone. And
Speaker 2 one thing I was thinking about is when Tucker has those guests out onto his show, it's always a very friendly thing where they come out and like he has dinner with them.
Speaker 7 They're there for a little while.
Speaker 2
And the natural dynamic there, Tucker's a super friendly guy. Anyone who's met him knows Tucker's very generous.
He's very friendly. He's very open.
He's very welcoming.
Speaker 2 And when you're doing that setup for every single person you speak with, he's not going to turn around and then
Speaker 2 be super tough on a person that he's been having, you know, that he had a friendly dinner with just a matter of hours before.
Speaker 2 And I think that constructed what that interview was. Because if you watch it, he does bring up some of those things.
Speaker 2 He does point out to Nick where he says, you know, I don't think your tone is always as helpful as it could be.
Speaker 2
I don't think that it's good to fixate on, you know, basically to push like anti-Semitic stuff. But a lot of people didn't really catch that.
It came in later and it wasn't super strongly formulated.
Speaker 2
And frankly, I'm also going to say this. I'm disappointed.
He didn't bring up, you know, you
Speaker 2
are getting in, you would attack Charlie all of the time. You would say these incredibly harsh things about Charlie.
I think he called Charlie a false Christian before.
Speaker 2 And he said hurtful things about Erica. And
Speaker 2
Tucker, Tucker was friends with Charlie. We know that.
And I kind of wish he had stuck up a little more for the man who, among other things, stuck up for him repeatedly. And
Speaker 2 again,
Speaker 2
we oppose moral blackmail. We're not going to just cancel Tucker off the face of the earth for this sort of thing.
But I'll be truthful. I do wish more had come out of that interview than what we got.
Speaker 3 Yeah,
Speaker 3 I think that's well said, Blake. It's like you can be be disappointed with the way the interview was conducted, but you could also realize that, you know, we're going to honor Charlie's wishes.
Speaker 3
And, you know, we all have relationships with Tucker as well. He's always been nothing but incredibly kind to me and to Blake.
Blake has worked with Tucker for a long time.
Speaker 3
So I think that basically sums that one up. Next up, we have Brandon.
Brandon, you are on the Charlie Kirk Show. Welcome.
Speaker 10 Hey, guys.
Speaker 10 So I'm writing a research paper on the negative effects of immigration in the United Kingdom.
Speaker 2 And no shortage of those.
Speaker 5 No shortage of those.
Speaker 10 Yeah, it's a pretty easy paper to write.
Speaker 10 But I was wondering what podcast it was that I think it was you, Blake, talking about your experience in the UK when Charlie was debating at Oxford.
Speaker 10 You were talking about like the businesses and how you couldn't understand the language for the most of them. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 Oh, man.
Speaker 2 We'll definitely
Speaker 2 shoot us an email at freedom at Charlie Kirk or and I'll try to like get a more detailed look at that. But I can repeat this.
Speaker 5
Yeah, repeat it. Let's just repeat it.
Let's get some red meat for you. We're going to get some red meat.
Speaker 2
Mikey was with us too. Mikey was with us too.
We landed in the UK. We were staying in Knightsbridge was the neighborhood.
Yeah.
Speaker 7 Oh, talk about the TV channel.
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah. So we're in Knightsbridge.
This is a neighborhood.
Speaker 2
An expensive neighborhood, central London. You are walking distance from Buckingham Palace.
You're walking distance from
Speaker 2 Westminster. And a ton of the businesses, expensive businesses, they have Arabic language lettering on
Speaker 2
the windows, in Arabic. We're looking, I went into our hotel, and our hotel was this weird, hideous thing.
It looked like a prison that you'd keep Lex Luther in.
Speaker 2 But anyway, I was flipping through the TV channels of our hotel, and maybe out of 60 channels or something, I would say 20 to 30 of them were in Middle Eastern languages.
Speaker 2
There was several Saudi channels. We had the Saudi Children's channel.
They were playing a Spyro Yemen TV. Spiro the Dragon TV show, but in Arabic, there was Lebanese, Omani, Pakistani.
Yemeni.
Speaker 2
All of these channels. And again, this is in presumably a hotel a lot of...
you know, wealthy, you know, Muslim Arab visitors would stay in. And you saw the signs everywhere.
Speaker 2 You're just walking through London.
Speaker 6 I will say the food was really good, but every storefront was just Arabic writing.
Speaker 2 You could really feel like you were in a country that
Speaker 2
is being kind of taken over, being culturally converted. I remember seeing signs, no anti-social driving, I thought was an interesting one.
I looked that up.
Speaker 2
They drive very anti-socially in London now. Or even a minor one that really thought got me thinking.
There was a statue to some guy who had a role in British India 150 years ago.
Speaker 2 And I could tell that someone had like mildly defaced this. Like they were scratching out like the India on the statue.
Speaker 2 And you just think like Britain has brought in people who are hostile to Britain's history yep Britain's people uh British I mean British religion yes and we're seeing this you know churches are being converted into mosques
Speaker 6 there are far more Muslim believers now in London than there are Christian believers it's like you take London and all of its beauty you keep it the same but you put add more trash on the streets and then Arabic writing everywhere yeah and it just seems similar truly heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 And you'll see this, Brandon, if you look up the statements. We had members of the British parliament who were spiking the football because an Israeli soccer team was going to play in Birmingham.
Speaker 2
A ton of Muslims in Birmingham. And they just campaigned.
They said the fans of this Israeli soccer team should not be allowed to attend this game. And they successfully got that to happen.
Speaker 2 They banned the fans from this game. And then these Muslim MPs celebrated this.
Speaker 7 They just publicly celebrated it.
Speaker 6 I think it might be in Manchester, where in the most recent election that they had in the UK, someone ran as an independent, so not part of the Conservative or Labour Party, just as an independent, and they said they're running as the Palestinian Party.
Speaker 2
That was their only thing they're running on. He won.
And there's polls where they ask people, this is a recent poll, just this month.
Speaker 2 You can look this up, Brandon, where they were asking by different background what you think the top issues are. And so for white British people, the number one issue was migrants recently.
Speaker 2 And then, you know, people of Hindu or black background, they said the cost of living. And then people of
Speaker 2
a kind of Muslim background, it was Gaza. Was, I think, either the number one or number two issue.
Yes. And that's after the ceasefire.
Speaker 7 That was after.
Speaker 2
It is, you can look everywhere you'll look, Brandon. There's just one sign after another of they are, this is not an assimilation.
This is kind of an ongoing cultural conquest of the UK.
Speaker 5 And Blake.
Speaker 3 Oh, I was just going to say, Charlie's favorite verse on this was Deuteronomy 43. Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power while you gradually lose yours.
Speaker 3 They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end, they will be your rulers.
Speaker 6 Yes, which is why you see
Speaker 6 it being okay that Muslims can take over London and all of the UK, but old ladies are being arrested for Facebook posts.
Speaker 7 about free speech.
Speaker 6 You are losing your rights in the UK.
Speaker 2 Muslims are gaining theirs.
Speaker 3
I want to read some of these email replies about Halloween. Matthew says, Andrew and Blake are correct.
Don't play with things you shouldn't, and Halloween is just fine.
Speaker 2 No, there's got to be different emails. Yeah, you're picking.
Speaker 3
No, don't be like my ex and play with tarot cards and crystals. Thanks.
That's Matt.
Speaker 3 I grew up Catholic when October 31st was All Hollows Eve, a holy night of remembrance. Later, as a born-again believer, I was told it was evil.
Speaker 3 But then I learned the Wesleyan quadrilateral scripture, tradition, reason, experience. Now I simply see Halloween as a night to love my neighbors well.
Speaker 5 How about this one?
Speaker 6 Satanists that have become Christians say that Halloween is a special day for them and that evil spirits are the most active on that day.
Speaker 5 How about that?
Speaker 3
Yep. Well, Mark agrees.
He says, without any doubt,
Speaker 3 against this pagan so-called holiday, Jesus Christ took care of this issue long ago when Satan and his sidekicks lost their wings, then grew tails and horns. Ban this satanic pagan ritual.
Speaker 3 That's from Mark.
Speaker 2 I like to think of the St. Michael prayer that Catholics pray where we say, you know, and by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits.
Speaker 2 And that is a Halloween prayer, if I ever heard one. It is saying demons exist, but they can be beaten and thrown into hell.
Speaker 6 And protect us against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
Speaker 2 By the power of God.
Speaker 3 This is a very contentious issue in our emails. I will tell you.
Speaker 3 This is like legitimately 50-50.
Speaker 2 We literally got in the same minute, in the same minute, we got emails with the headline, Halloween, and the next one, no Halloween, right in a row.
Speaker 3 This is very split. This is very split.
Speaker 11 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.
Speaker 11 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.
Speaker 1
I'm going to tell you guys about YReFi.com. That is YREFY.com.
WhyReFi is incredible. Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
Go to yrefi.com. That is yrefy.com.
Private student loan debt relief, yrefi.com.
Speaker 3 Just really quick, I want to keep reading some of these emails, Mikey and Blake. So this is Marty.
Speaker 3 It says, Halloween was the most fun I had with my family and neighbors here in my little community in San Diego. My husband and I rushed home from work to get ready.
Speaker 3
My mom would hand out candy while grandpa, my husband, and I would gather our son to join neighbors for a few hours. We never did any occult stuff.
It was so fun. I truly missed those days.
Speaker 3
Got MAGA anti-Halloween. Gentlemen, Charlie was so right about Halloween, as with so many other things.
When your eyes are open spiritually, you clearly see how dark it is.
Speaker 3 The enemy uses it to get a foothold in families on a surface level, while the dark forces deeply involved in the occult use the day to bring forth evil in the spiritual realm, uh, we have another one that's uh says they want a freedom hoodie.
Speaker 3 So, Daisy, they want a freedom hoodie, makes it a bit easier standing up for the truth and a little bit easier in negative 10-degree weather. Um, so we have another one, uh, no Halloween.
Speaker 3
I have a 10-year-old daughter. We go to Harvest Fest, she was a police costume, she has a police costume, and that is what she wants to do when she grows up.
I, it's all over the place, guys.
Speaker 3
It's all over the place. Becky says, Blake, have you read C.S.
Lewis screw tape letters? Demons against Christian values can't win.
Speaker 5 Exactly.
Speaker 2
I have read it, in fact. It's been a long time, though, but I have read it.
It's a good book. Charlie loved it too.
Speaker 3 Now I just feel like our studio is trolling the anti-Halloween contingent in our audience.
Speaker 6 I'm standing strong in the office.
Speaker 5 I think I'm the only one. Listen,
Speaker 3 I feel like I have carved out a nice middle ground where I'm saying princesses and ninja costumes, good. I don't know.
Speaker 3
And creepy stuff, not so good. I'm not, listen.
If I told my seven-year-old daughter we were not going trick-or-treated tonight, we would just basically have to.
Speaker 3 Yes.
Speaker 5 Make new traditions.
Speaker 2 We wouldn't unleash demons.
Speaker 5 No, make new traditions.
Speaker 3 That would unleash a real demon.
Speaker 6 Make new traditions. Make new traditions.
Speaker 3 You can do more exciting things.
Speaker 3
My daughter is so sweet about all the spiritual stuff. She praises Jesus.
We sing the worship songs. It's like the cutest thing you've ever imagined.
Speaker 3 But man, if I told her she couldn't dress up like Jasmine tonight, that would be a real problem. And I know that's going to get me in trouble.
Speaker 2 No, No, the real reason not let her dress up like Jasmine is that Jasmine is an Islamic princess.
Speaker 5 I know.
Speaker 3 Well, we're not going to get into the theology of the world.
Speaker 5 Yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 Blake can talk to her about it.
Speaker 3 My daughter just thought she's pretty and wants to put on the outfit.
Speaker 5 Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 We got Carol next. Carol next.
Speaker 3 Carol, if you're with us, unmute yourself, please. You are on the Charlie Kirk Show.
Speaker 5 Hello. Hi, guys.
Speaker 5 Hi, Carol. Anti-Halloween.
Speaker 12 My children are all grown up, almost. They're all teenagers.
Speaker 5 But anyway,
Speaker 12 you know, be not of the world, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 12
I think we're playing with fire there, compromise. But yeah, my question was about California.
I'm here in California. We got all these Trumpers out here.
Speaker 12 And I just feel like I heard on Bannon, he was talking about how the GOP in California,
Speaker 12 you know, just they didn't want Trump involved. And so we're just dying out here.
Speaker 6 We're about to lose the state.
Speaker 12 You know, if this Prop 50, it's
Speaker 12
going to pass. Steve Hilton's trying to fight.
But, you know, this show, all these shows, you know, Charlie Kirk show has been been a real help to, you know, get people going.
Speaker 12
So I don't know. I know other people are asking for help in their states.
You guys have your priorities, but
Speaker 5 just want to know.
Speaker 3 Yeah, Carol, we're actually going to have Steve on the show to talk about Prop 50.
Speaker 3 I've gotten a bunch of notes from the grassroots in California that want us to help and raise the alarm bells. I have a feeling you're probably right that if things hold, Prop 50 is going to pass.
Speaker 3 It's a complete abomination. They're going against a referendum vote that created an independent
Speaker 3 commission to district the state. And by the way, just so you know, those independent commissions get completely corrupted as well.
Speaker 3 They're completely dependent on how good of the quality of the people that staff them, right? So it's, you know, the independent commissions are not foolproof either.
Speaker 3 You've got even Arnold Schwarzenegger is out being very loud about this.
Speaker 3
And it just, it really puts into perspective that we need to get Indiana over the over the finish line. We need to get Ohio over the finish line.
We need to get Texas over the finish line.
Speaker 3 So all of our efforts have to counter Californians because at this point, you've got 40% of the state that is voting for Trump in the last election. And you've got
Speaker 3 what it's like,
Speaker 3 six or eight of the seats go to conservatives.
Speaker 3 It's, I mean, it's essentially like 20% or 18% of the congressional districts are, you know, have conservative representation in a state that has 40% Trump vote. But
Speaker 3 Blake and I have gone back and forth on this.
Speaker 12 They cheat, and nobody's, you know, we can't get any traction with that. So, you know, they were still counting 30 days after the election, although they called the recall within 30 minutes.
Speaker 12 well for carol
Speaker 5 yeah i i agree so thank you so much for being a member and for calling in we're gonna get to greg really quick if we can greg how's it going guys great how's it going question fast 60 seconds uh real quick real quick the uh the snap and dbt how what can we do is it dojo what can we do to to get a better vetting system to sort of get the the deadbeats and the the people that are abusing and cheating the system um and basically now robbing the stores blind well here's a here's a good start.
Speaker 2 If we're actually going, if we end up nuking the filibuster to bring Snap back, they should at least also use nuking the filibuster to say, we're changing the rules around Snap and who gets it.
Speaker 2 Because if you look at how many people got it, it went up, I think it nearly doubled during COVID or went up about 50%. Huge bloat, massive amounts of waste.
Speaker 2 And there's this feeding frenzy where people are practically looting every government program in existence.
Speaker 2 And we've got to buckle down and say that this is not acceptable, or we are actually going to go totally bankrupt as a country. And that will will be very bad.
Speaker 2 And that will mean, well, probably no more snap for anybody.
Speaker 5 Don't forget, Blake.
Speaker 3 Don't forget, Blake, tomorrow's National Looting Day if the snap benefits don't get turned back on. That's those are the real demons, the real occult.
Speaker 1 Greg, thank you for calling. Thank you, everybody.
Speaker 3 What a great show.
