[00:00:58]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:01:00]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:03]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:07]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:08]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:09]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:01:17]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:01:26]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:29]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:01:38]  Paul from Pennsylvania says, Charlie, I did not vote for Dr. Oz in the primary, but he's looking better every single day.
[00:01:45]  Not because anything he's saying, but the more I learn about John Fetterman, is that the right way to vote?
[00:01:50]  Please help me out.
[00:01:51]  Thanks.
[00:01:52]  So look, that actually is a proper approach, especially when you are running up against a candidate as terrible and as dreadful as John Fetterman.
[00:02:03]  John Fetterman is one of the most fraudulent candidates in the country.
[00:02:08]  Now, before we go any further, we wish him a speedy recovery.
[00:02:11]  We're not going to make light of his health issues.
[00:02:14]  We are going to put that in context and frame it as why he should not be a U.S. Senator given his health complications.
[00:02:21]  But the more you learn about John Fetterman, his health issues aside, of which we will not trivialize or make fun of, the more you realize that this guy is as if a younger Jeff Bridges or John Goodman were to just kind of pop out of Hollywood,
[00:02:44]  parachute into rural Pennsylvania, become a mayor of a very small city, not even do your mayoral duties there, act as if you're some sort of working-class blue-collar guy, even though you went to Harvard and were supported by your parents financially into your mid-40s, and then have the tattoos and the hoodie and the shorts and have this entire aesthetic that you're a man of the Pennsylvania people.
[00:03:14]  Now, I'll be very honest, I fell for it.
[00:03:19]  I didn't fall for it as if I was like some sort of Fetterman fan.
[00:03:23]  But a couple months ago, when I saw Oz running against Fetterman, I went to Fetterman's website and I was doing a couple things at once.
[00:03:28]  I said, oh, wow, you know, he looks like a steel worker, can be a tough Democrat to fight.
[00:03:31]  Okay.
[00:03:32]  And obviously, you know, kind of time has passed and things have come out.
[00:03:36]  He's a total fraud.
[00:03:38]  He hasn't worked on a steel mill.
[00:03:39]  He's not a carpenter.
[00:03:40]  He's not a welder.
[00:03:41]  He's not a truck driver.
[00:03:43]  He looks like one.
[00:03:44]  It is an aesthetic hoodwink operation, where if we look like it and we wear the hoodie and we wear the shorts and you have the kind of tattoos and you shave your head with the long beard, you can kind of fool people as if you're one of them.
[00:04:04]  This is a big test happening in Pennsylvania.
[00:04:08]  Big test.
[00:04:10]  Can they run, again, health issues aside, that's a separate question, but a very important one.
[00:04:15]  But the deeper question that I find to be interesting is the question of Democrat central casting.
[00:04:22]  They are the party of Hollywood, by the way.
[00:04:26]  They run Raphael Warnock as the good old Southern Baptist preacher.
[00:04:31]  They run Mark Kelly as the astronaut.
[00:04:34]  But what they're trying to do in Pennsylvania is far more fraudulent.
[00:04:39]  I mean, Mark Kelly at least was an astronaut.
[00:04:44]  He's a terrible senator.
[00:04:45]  He's a liar and he's a cheater and he's all these different things.
[00:04:49]  But Fetterman is none of the things that he pretends to be.
[00:04:52]  The entire thing looks like it's completely and totally scripted.
[00:04:56]  He is nothing compared to what he physically tries to portray to the people of Pennsylvania.
[00:05:05]  This should make every single steel worker, muscular class member, infuriated.
[00:05:14]  He is appropriating your culture.
[00:05:17]  John Fetterman is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania wearing a costume.
[00:05:24]  And quite honestly, I got to give credit to Oz.
[00:05:27]  Oz dresses like a surgeon everywhere he goes.
[00:05:30]  He's not pretending to be somebody he's not.
[00:05:33]  Hey, look, there's John Fetterman in his costume.
[00:05:37]  He's a big man, looks like Shrek, has the hoodie, has the shorts.
[00:05:42]  I'm a tough guy.
[00:05:44]  Actually, you went to Harvard.
[00:05:45]  You lived off your parents most of the adult life.
[00:05:48]  You've never worked on a steel mill.
[00:05:51]  But the costume fits, doesn't it?
[00:05:54]  You know what that looks like?
[00:05:56]  That looks like a Jussie Smollett operation.
[00:06:00]  I said, what does that have to do with Jussie Smollett?
[00:06:02]  Remember Jussie Smollett, who came up with the one-liner where he said, and then they threw the noose over me and said, this is MAGA country.
[00:06:09]  John Fetterman looks like what a Hollywood liberal thinks Trump supporters want to vote for.
[00:06:18]  They think you're so dumb and you're so stupid that you're going to go out of your way to go vote for him, even though he has zero ties to the very culture and people that he is trying to pretend that he's part of.
[00:06:33]  Someone should ask the question, like, dude, what's with the hoodie exactly?
[00:06:36]  Is this a pure appropriation?
[00:06:38]  What are you, a teenager?
[00:06:40]  Again, he has zero ties and the whole thing.
[00:06:44]  And he just kind of, it's all a major aesthetic psyop.
[00:06:50]  It's can we manipulate voters based on an aesthetic?
[00:06:55]  The way I talk, the tattoos, I'm a different kind of Democrat.
[00:06:59]  No, you're not, actually.
[00:07:01]  You're AOC.
[00:07:03]  You're Rashida Talib.
[00:07:05]  And all of this aside, by the way, and I do not say this jokingly, but it's important.
[00:07:10]  He does not have the mental capacity to be a United States senator.
[00:07:15]  And my advice to Dr. Oz is: you're the doctor.
[00:07:18]  You should keep on saying it.
[00:07:18]  And then Fetterman says, could you imagine a doctor who attacks you for your health?
[00:07:22]  And the response from Oz is, I'd be a bad doctor if I didn't diagnose you for your health.
[00:07:28]  As a doctor, I wouldn't allow you on the streets.
[00:07:30]  I would take your driver's license away.
[00:07:33]  Again, you could say whatever you want about Oz.
[00:07:35]  I certainly have disagreements with him.
[00:07:36]  He's going to come on the show.
[00:07:37]  We're going to have a good conversation about it.
[00:07:39]  But I'm in support of Oz winning the U.S. Senate.
[00:07:41]  And I could tell you why.
[00:07:42]  This Fetterman guy, not only are his ideas insane, we'll play you some of it, but the appropriation, the smugness that I hate you, MAGA man in central Pennsylvania.
[00:07:58]  You're a deplorable, you're a semi-fascist, but we're worried we're going to lose power.
[00:08:04]  So I'm going to dress up in a Halloween costume equivalent to try to get your vote.
[00:08:11]  That's what John Fetterman is.
[00:08:13]  John Fetterman is no different, in any way whatsoever, different than Joaquin Phoenix dressing up as the Joker.
[00:08:22]  He becomes the very character that he portrays.
[00:08:27]  Let's play cut 61.
[00:08:30]  Send me to Washington, D.C. to send, so I can work with Senator Casey and I can champion the union way of life in Jersey, in D.C. Thank you.
[00:08:42]  Thank you very much.
[00:08:43]  And it's an honor.
[00:08:44]  I live eight minutes away from here.
[00:08:47]  And when I leave tonight, I got three miles away, Dr. Oz in his mansion in New Jersey.
[00:08:54]  Still makes more sense than Joe Biden.
[00:08:56]  But all kidding aside, I'm done with the kind of sad thing.
[00:09:00]  Some people say that's so sad.

=== Grassroots Effort for Decency (08:40) ===

[00:09:01]  You're right.
[00:09:01]  It's sad.
[00:09:02]  Don't let him go to the U.S. Senate.
[00:09:04]  I'm not trivializing it.
[00:09:05]  I don't wish health harm on any political opponent.
[00:09:08]  We have to commit ourselves to decency.
[00:09:10]  But I am not going to act as if that's normal and that's okay.
[00:09:14]  This is now a brute force power struggle for the future of the country.
[00:09:17]  And you know what?
[00:09:18]  We have a surgeon, Dr. Oz, endorsed by Trump.
[00:09:22]  I'll take him over this guy.
[00:09:24]  This guy would get rid of fracking, get rid of coal.
[00:09:27]  87,000 IRS agents, he'll do whatever the regime wants.
[00:09:32]  And I just get so fired up because I know the folks in Pennsylvania.
[00:09:35]  We just did a big rally there with Ron DeSantis and Maastriano, who's fabulous, by the way.
[00:09:40]  We did this whole thing.
[00:09:42]  And Fetterman wearing the costume of the MAGA voter.
[00:09:47]  That should make every single person in Pennsylvania who's a Trump supporter, who's worked in the mills, who works at their hands, show up in record numbers.
[00:09:58]  Because they're trying to say, if I play act as one of you, I can somehow get political power.
[00:10:05]  So everybody in Pennsylvania, I hope you're listening, get the message out.
[00:10:10]  Fetterman is a fraud.
[00:10:13]  He's a liar.
[00:10:16]  He's appropriating the entire aesthetic of a Pennsylvania middle-class worker, even though he hates you and hates your values.
[00:10:27]  How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
[00:10:29]  Pradesh R. Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
[00:10:32]  And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
[00:10:34]  In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
[00:10:39]  That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
[00:10:44]  They are on a mission.
[00:10:45]  You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
[00:10:47]  They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
[00:10:53]  And I believe they'll do it.
[00:10:54]  So here's the deal.
[00:10:55]  If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
[00:11:04]  Go to relieffactor.com.
[00:11:06]  That's relieffactor.com.
[00:11:07]  Check it out right now, relieffactor.com.
[00:11:09]  You should order the three-week quick start too.
[00:11:11]  Discount only $19.95 to see if it will work for you.
[00:11:14]  I think it possibly could.
[00:11:15]  Give your body what it needs to heal itself.
[00:11:17]  Go to relieffactor.com.
[00:11:18]  That's relieffactor.com.
[00:11:20]  Check it out right now.
[00:11:23]  Let's play Cut 51.
[00:11:24]  Fetterman suggesting he wants to release thousands of inmates serving life sentences.
[00:11:29]  Play Cut 51.
[00:11:30]  We have a catastrophic bottleneck in our prisons of over 5,000 men and women condemned to die in prison.
[00:11:39]  And many of them, I believe, personally, are deserving of a second chance.
[00:11:45]  Fetterman here, number 60, Fetterman Board of Pardons appointee Celeste Trustee advocates for abolishing life sentences for first-degree murderers, play cut 60.
[00:11:55]  One of the most glaring problems in Pennsylvania's legal system is that we have mandatory life without parole as a sentence for first and second degree murder.
[00:12:04]  And we also have many people serving these excessively long virtual life sentences.
[00:12:09]  But we deny people serving these sentences any substantial avenues for relief.
[00:12:14]  That's Steve Fetterman.
[00:12:16]  See, that's how memorable is.
[00:12:18]  John Federman, Steve Fetterman, John Fetterman.
[00:12:19]  Whatever.
[00:12:20]  I was reading something else with Steve.
[00:12:22]  Sorry.
[00:12:23]  Email us your thoughts as always.
[00:12:24]  Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
[00:12:25]  Forgettable Fetterman.
[00:12:26]  How about that?
[00:12:27]  There you go.
[00:12:28]  Okay, let's get to another question here, an ask-me-anything question.
[00:12:33]  Let's get to this one.
[00:12:34]  Charlie, please explain how any Democrat is leading in the polls after the absolute disaster the last year and a half has been.
[00:12:39]  Look at their accomplishments, record inflation, vaccine mandates, food shortages, baby formula, sending billions to Ukraine.
[00:12:44]  Republicans did that too.
[00:12:46]  Confiscation of a U.S. congressman's phone.
[00:12:48]  The DOJ targeting parents, 87,000 new IRS agents, the CRT, woken trans plans.
[00:12:54]  Boy, it's a pretty good list.
[00:12:56]  The border crisis, soaring energy costs, gasoline and diesel prices through the roof.
[00:12:59]  And I can go on.
[00:12:59]  I truly cannot wrap my head around anyone who could be leading in any race.
[00:13:03]  One example, would any person with half a brain vote for John Fetterman?
[00:13:07]  Okay, well, kind of we just hit that.
[00:13:09]  Basically, the question is, do you think Republicans are going to do well going into November?
[00:13:13]  So I think a couple things are happening here.
[00:13:16]  I am, how I'm getting increasingly optimistic that our candidates, especially Adam Laxalt in Nevada, Herschel Walker in Georgia, Blake Masters in Arizona, JD Vance in Ohio, Oz in Pennsylvania, are starting to get on message.
[00:13:31]  I'm starting to see a little bit better tone, a little bit better energy.
[00:13:34]  And I think that there could be a seed of the equivalent benefit, meaning something that actually comes really favorable out of something that otherwise would have seemed very negative, of some of that very depressing and very, let's just say, motivating series of polls that we saw about a month ago.
[00:13:55]  You might remember Tucker did that segment about a month ago when Dr. Oz went and got a vegetable tray or something as a silly attack against him.
[00:14:03]  And it showed that Oz was down 17 points and it showed that Blake Masters was down 10 points and it showed that Herschel Walker was down eight points.
[00:14:12]  And I think this really was actually helpful for a lot of Republican candidates.
[00:14:17]  I think these completely and totally inaccurate polls were a wake-up call.
[00:14:22]  These races have tightened.
[00:14:23]  JD Vance is now in the lead.
[00:14:25]  Pennsylvania Senate race, very, very tight.
[00:14:27]  Herschel Walker, now in the lead.
[00:14:29]  Blake Masters within the margin of error with Mark Kelly.
[00:14:33]  So these races are now becoming tighter and tighter and tighter.
[00:14:38]  So look, I agree with you.
[00:14:39]  I don't know how anyone's going to vote for a Democrat.
[00:14:41]  And I think this, I think that there has been a rush towards the resurrection of Democrat approval far too quickly.
[00:14:52]  I think that the media and all of the powers to be were trying to bring up Democrat numbers artificially.
[00:15:00]  And I think they are going to crater.
[00:15:01]  If we do our job, if grassroots show up, if our candidates stay on message and actually get a message about crime in certain states, if we continue to raise money, because we're going to have to have raise money against the Democrats, I think we're going to see a massive next 58 days.
[00:15:20]  I'm just predicting here, 57, 56, whatever how many days it is.
[00:15:23]  I think that there's something that all of a sudden you're going to see this thing get wildly out of control for Democrats, wildly out of control.
[00:15:30]  It has all of the preconditions.
[00:15:31]  And I don't think we've seen it manifest itself yet in public polling.
[00:15:36]  Now, I could be wrong.
[00:15:38]  It could end up being a red ripple instead of a red wave.
[00:15:41]  And I talked to him this week.
[00:15:42]  I talked to President Trump and I said this, and I'll say it publicly because what I said, I said, you're the only one that can really bring this midterms into be a red wave and a red tsunami.
[00:15:52]  I said, as many rallies as you can do, I said 50 or 60 rallies is a lot, but if you could do 30 or 40, you change the midterms.
[00:15:59]  Why is that the case?
[00:16:00]  Midterm election turnout is usually lower.
[00:16:02]  If Trump can get his general election turnout, anything close to it, we blow these people away.
[00:16:06]  We obliterate them.
[00:16:08]  We're already directionally in a good direction as far as gas prices, inflation, border crime, if our candidates can talk about it.
[00:16:16]  But Trump can save the midterms.
[00:16:18]  Trump can come in and bail out a lot of these campaigns.
[00:16:22]  He knows that too.
[00:16:23]  But the hour is getting late.
[00:16:25]  We need to see that Trump blitz planned pretty soon.
[00:16:29]  I'll be curious to see if he does.
[00:16:30]  He seemed inclined to do it on my phone call with him.
[00:16:32]  And I told him, I said, you are the only person that could turn these races around.
[00:16:36]  You're the only person that can get Herschel, Blake, JD, Oz, Laxalt, Johnson across the finish line.

=== Putin Invades Weaker Ukraine (08:56) ===

[00:17:42]  Susie from Alabama, Charlie, is it true that Hillary Clinton is going to run for president?
[00:17:48]  I keep on reading that online.
[00:17:50]  Cut 53, Hillary Clinton asked a question: Would you ever run for president?
[00:17:56]  Play Cut 53.
[00:17:57]  Would you ever run for president again?
[00:17:58]  No, no, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president who respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions.
[00:18:08]  What if Donald Trump runs again?
[00:18:09]  He should be soundly defeated.
[00:18:12]  Protects our democracy.
[00:18:14]  Yeah.
[00:18:15]  Nothing says, nothing makes me think of consent to the governed like the Clintons.
[00:18:22]  So then Hillary Clinton was asked about Ukraine.
[00:18:25]  I want to spend some time on Ukraine.
[00:18:27]  I've been wanting to do this for the last couple of days.
[00:18:30]  Do you notice how the Ukraine issue has just kind of disappeared?
[00:18:34]  Yeah, the war is still going on.
[00:18:35]  Putin's invasion of Ukraine is ongoing.
[00:18:37]  Before I go any further, I want to reiterate the position of this program.
[00:18:40]  It is wrong.
[00:18:41]  It is immoral.
[00:18:42]  It is evil for a stronger country to invade a weaker country.
[00:18:46]  It is not right.
[00:18:47]  The Ukrainian government is also not worthy of support.
[00:18:51]  The people of Ukraine are worthy of support.
[00:18:53]  It is possible to have a murky situation.
[00:18:56]  I know that in a world of binaries and black and white, sometimes gray doesn't sell on television, but that's precisely what has been happening in Eastern Europe.
[00:19:04]  We've been saying this since the very beginning: that the situation in Ukraine will further involve the West, America, in an unnecessary family quagmire in a region of the world that is not of geopolitical significance to the United States, potentially getting all of NATO against a nuclear power.
[00:19:25]  We've already spent $65 to $70 billion.
[00:19:29]  It could go upwards of $85 billion.
[00:19:32]  And every time I talk to a Republican politician about this issue, I get unease because I have a series of very specific questions when it comes to the Ukraine situation.
[00:19:43]  And I know some of you have not thought deeply about this in some time because this just hasn't been on the news, but we have spent more than the GDP of North Dakota on the conflict in Ukraine.
[00:19:54]  And I have a series of questions for anybody that supports involvement in Ukraine can come on this program and answer these questions.
[00:20:02]  What does success look like in Ukraine?
[00:20:07]  What does success look like?
[00:20:09]  What is the latitude and longitude?
[00:20:12]  What are the coordinates approximately of where you will be satisfied to disentangle the West when Russia gets to a certain place?
[00:20:20]  Is it the full defeat of Russia?
[00:20:22]  Is it the displacement of Putin?
[00:20:24]  If that is the case, how many Americans are you willing to have die for that cause?
[00:20:31]  None?
[00:20:32]  Then it's never going to happen.
[00:20:34]  How do you know that American involvement in Ukraine will actually make American security more durable, reliable?
[00:20:42]  Why is that in the American security best interest?
[00:20:44]  What is in our national interest?
[00:20:47]  Here's another question for a Ukraine war supporter.
[00:20:50]  Why has Russia only grown stronger?
[00:20:53]  The Russian currency is up.
[00:20:55]  Europe will be chopping wood this winter to stay warm.
[00:20:59]  Is this what success looks like?
[00:21:00]  The Rupal is up.
[00:21:02]  Putin is doing war games with China.
[00:21:05]  So we have thrown Russia, who is no saint.
[00:21:09]  Putin's a scumbag.
[00:21:11]  You can believe two things at once.
[00:21:13]  I know that is very difficult for the regime media and establishment Republicans to understand, but you can believe that Vladimir Putin is no good, dirty, and rotten, and also that we shouldn't get involved.
[00:21:27]  So we push Russia, India, and Saudi Arabia into closer ties with China for what?
[00:21:34]  What is the geopolitical advantage?
[00:21:37]  We may lose our world reserve currency status for what?
[00:21:44]  This blunder in Ukraine will go down as one of the most clumsy, murky, and dare I just say it bluntly and plainly, a word that is not necessarily befitting of the program, stupid decisions.
[00:22:03]  And I cannot get straight answers from any of the decision makers because deep down they know they're wrong.
[00:22:11]  The senators that are voting for this garbage, the congressmen that are voting for this garbage, it's all about abstractions.
[00:22:19]  Oh, we have to stop Putin.
[00:22:21]  How?
[00:22:22]  Who?
[00:22:23]  How many people are you willing to have died for that?
[00:22:26]  Where are the peace negotiations?
[00:22:28]  Do you want to escalate or de-escalate?
[00:22:31]  How is that in the interest of a country that has a suicide epidemic, a psychiatric drug addiction epidemic, a fentanyl epidemic, a wide open border of which we have an invasion of, according to the Attorney General of Texas, 5,000 people a day?
[00:22:48]  How is that in our best interest exactly?
[00:22:50]  I welcome any contrarian point of view when it comes to Ukraine.
[00:22:56]  But it's indefensible.
[00:22:58]  And it has been since the very beginning.
[00:23:00]  Zelensky is not a good person.
[00:23:03]  Putin is not a good person.
[00:23:06]  Ukraine is not America.
[00:23:09]  Hillary Clinton, though, says Ukraine is now on offense.
[00:23:12]  Hillary Clinton, who voted for the Iraq war and her shining accomplishment of Libya is on the shelf of Hillary Clinton masterpieces.
[00:23:26]  Hillary Clinton's a neocon.
[00:23:28]  This is an important thing.
[00:23:30]  Hillary Clinton and the Republican establishment will disagree, at least through words, on guns, on abortion.
[00:23:40]  But isn't it interesting, Hillary Clinton agrees completely and totally with the Republican establishment on war?
[00:23:49]  Play Cut 59.
[00:23:51]  They were attacked by an unprovoked act of war.
[00:23:57]  And they've held out and they've done better than anybody could have predicted.
[00:24:01]  And Zelensky has been a true wartime leader.
[00:24:04]  I'm so impressed with him.
[00:24:05]  Absolutely.
[00:24:06]  And I think, you know, the United States should stand with them along with all of our other friends around the world.
[00:24:12]  I think we have to keep supporting them, helping them.
[00:24:15]  Keep supporting them, helping them.
[00:24:17]  Yeah, don't support American citizens.
[00:24:19]  You got to keep supporting Ukraine.
[00:24:22]  Why?
[00:24:23]  Well, Ukraine stands as allegedly an international money laundering operation for a lot of crony and corrupt interests in Washington, D.C.
[00:24:32]  I could read an article right here: Vladimir Putin doing military exercises, war games with the Chinese Communist Party.
[00:24:40]  We did that.
[00:24:41]  The Republican Party did that.
[00:24:44]  It is so disturbing how Republicans were gleefully on board to support this corrupt, aimless, directionless endeavor in Eastern Europe.
[00:25:02]  Europe is going to go through a mass energy crisis because of this.
[00:25:05]  It's a tragedy.
[00:25:07]  Okay, let's get to another question here.
[00:25:08]  Emails freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:25:12]  That topic more than almost anyone right now frustrates me because we were so on top of it.
[00:25:17]  We got censored.
[00:25:18]  We got smeared.
[00:25:18]  We got called a Russian agent.
[00:25:21]  Even though we said Vladimir Putin is a scumbag, war criminal, and all this.
[00:25:24]  Like, oh, how dare you parrot Vladimir Putin's talking points?
[00:25:28]  What?
[00:25:29]  That's how low IQ people talk.
[00:25:31]  You're a Putin puppet.
[00:25:33]  Okay.
[00:25:35]  Let's go to Cut 117.
[00:25:36]  It parlays nicely with Terrell's question from Oklahoma about the midterms, play cut 117.
[00:25:44]  Democrats offer a vision for a better America.
[00:25:46]  It's within the reach, our reach, what's in our hands if we just get out and vote.
[00:25:52]  And again, that's not hyperbole, because we're not finished.
[00:25:56]  Imagine if we just elected two more Democrats in the Senate and keep the House of Representatives.
[00:26:01]  Imagine.
[00:26:03]  We'll codify Roe v. Wade.
[00:26:06]  We'll ban assault weapons.
[00:26:07]  We'll pass election reform.
[00:26:09]  We'll make sure no one ever tries to steal an election again in America.
[00:26:14]  They're just getting warmed up.
[00:26:16]  If we don't take back the House of Representatives and if we do not take back the Senate, they're not finished.
[00:26:22]  Everything that you saw, inflation reduction nonsense, the IRA Infrastructure Act, 87,000 new IRS agents, green energy scam, $5 trillion, $6 trillion.
[00:26:36]  That is the pregame.

=== Spiritual War on Social Media (03:06) ===

[00:26:38]  Perp walking Trump supporters, audits for middle-income and middle-class workers.
[00:26:44]  Someone asked us right here, Clarence from Florida, Charlie, I believe we're in a spiritual war.
[00:26:50]  Every time I say this, my friends roll their eyes.
[00:26:53]  What are your thoughts?
[00:26:54]  Love the show, and I'm subscribed to the podcast.
[00:26:57]  Thank you for subscribing.
[00:26:59]  Oh, yeah, we're in a spiritual war.
[00:27:02]  So there's a new character I want to introduce you to around the topic of monkeypox.
[00:27:10]  So Biden's new monkeypox spokesperson appointed Dr. Dimitri Daskalakis as the White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator, also the CDC's Division Director for HIV Prevention.
[00:27:29]  Well, he has a very strange penchant for some imagery and symbolism that is spiritual in nature.
[00:27:39]  And no, it's not the crucifix.
[00:27:41]  It's not the Virgin Mary.
[00:27:43]  It's not St. Michael.
[00:27:45]  It's not Angel Gabriel.
[00:27:47]  No, he seems to be very focused on posting pictures, even though he was raised by Greek Orthodox immigrants.
[00:27:58]  He has a penchant for pentagrams and other satanic symbolism.
[00:28:04]  The National Pulse reports, great website, Dascalakis' social media presence is very disturbing.
[00:28:12]  His partner, Michael McNeil, launched a goth gym in New York.
[00:28:17]  Posting pictures of monster cycle social media is replete with satanic imagery.
[00:28:24]  Monster Cycle social media are full of references to Satanism, including his tattoos.
[00:28:31]  He said, I have learned there's light even in the darkest places.
[00:28:34]  Dascalakis' tattoo of a pentagram reads, he also has ink showing the corpse of a dead creature, as well as a serpent, a head with three eyes that appears to be a saint-like figure, even a depiction of Jesus Christ across his stomach.
[00:28:50]  It's not the only reference to Christ making their social media posts in a series of images from 2012.
[00:28:56]  Seems as if he posts a Ouija board ceremony with a lit crucifix depicting Jesus Christ laying on a pentagram table.
[00:29:05]  The satanic imagery continues on his social media posts.
[00:29:11]  It's not a spiritual war.
[00:29:12]  Of course not.
[00:29:13]  Stop looking there.
[00:29:14]  Monkeypox, no big deal.
[00:29:15]  And just to finish the point on this monkeypox person, the star that he has points down, and the significance of it is this.
[00:29:25]  While a point-down pentagram represented the descent of the spirit into the matter or matter subsuming spirit, it is largely this interpretation that led to the religion of Wicca to adopt the point-up pentagram and Satanism, the point-down version, as their representative symbols.
[00:29:41]  His are pointing down.
[00:29:43]  The Satanism ones point down.

=== Gender Reset and Children (04:40) ===

[00:29:45]  Okay.
[00:29:46]  Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
[00:29:48]  I'm taking your questions.
[00:29:49]  Charlie, I heard reports that in Provo, Utah, there are LGBT performances.
[00:29:54]  Is this true?
[00:29:55]  Yes.
[00:29:55]  Cut 19, a drag person by the name of Jenna Tayalia, performed at an all-ages back-to-school drag extravaganza, the state run by Governor Cox, play cut 19.
[00:30:26]  That is a dancing performance of some drag person performing for all ages.
[00:30:32]  And that's what you get when you have a Republican governor with pronouns in his bio that should be illegal.
[00:30:38]  Some of my great friends and some great people that work for us and work with us are LDS.
[00:30:45]  I have great respect for the LDS community.
[00:30:48]  But I'm waiting for someone to explain what the heck is going on in Utah where the LDS community puts up with this garbage.
[00:30:55]  I suppose it's the same thing that's happening in evangelical circles.
[00:30:58]  So not exactly one to ask the question.
[00:31:00]  I probably can answer the question myself, which is just weak people that don't want confrontation.
[00:31:05]  Here's a question.
[00:31:07]  Stephen from Michigan.
[00:31:08]  Charlie, I heard you talking about Lurie Children's Hospital.
[00:31:11]  Is it true that they're really doing gender and sex surgeries?
[00:31:14]  Yes.
[00:31:15]  Cut 97, the major children's hospital in Chicago, advertising gender and sex development programs.
[00:31:22]  Here's just part of it of the family testimonials, PlayCut 97.
[00:31:26]  Without the gender program, I would not be nearly as happy as I am now.
[00:31:31]  Gender program has meant the world to me because it basically gave me the chance to start my life.
[00:31:37]  I'm a senior in high school, and I'm, quite frankly, the happiest I've ever been.
[00:31:41]  I'm so far in my transition and things are going so well, and I feel like I can really move on with my life and become an adult.
[00:31:50]  And their parents sitting next to them gleefully.
[00:31:53]  Children medically mutilating themselves.
[00:31:56]  Yeah, they're going to have a spike of confidence, a spike of testosterone.
[00:32:00]  And tragically, the data shows a couple years later, it's going to go down.
[00:32:04]  I want to promote Tucker Carlson's documentary, PlayCut 98.
[00:32:10]  So historically, gender dysphoria afflicted 0.01% of the population.
[00:32:15]  So roughly 1 in 10,000.
[00:32:17]  And they were overwhelmingly male.
[00:32:19]  The numbers were even smaller when it came to females.
[00:32:22]  I think it was 1 in 30,000.
[00:32:24]  Today, the newest report is that 1 in 20 young women in college are identifying as trans.
[00:32:31]  That is an enormous spike.
[00:32:33]  In the UK, where they have centralized medical care and they can see the numbers more easily, there have been reports of a 4,000% spike in the referrals of young biological women to the National Gender Service for hormones, followed by surgical intervention.
[00:32:51]  Good for Tucker for doing this.
[00:32:54]  Good for him.
[00:32:55]  He's going to get a lot of backlash.
[00:32:56]  I think he already is for that.
[00:32:58]  Email us your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:33:02]  Charlie, I want to come to your great reset event.
[00:33:03]  When is it?
[00:33:04]  How do I watch online if I can't attend in person?
[00:33:07]  So it's in Phoenix, Arizona, September 16th and 17th on Constitution Day weekend.
[00:33:11]  We're going to be talking about all about the Great Reset, book written by Klaus Schwab and the entire agenda of the Great Reset.
[00:33:19]  And you guys can get tickets at tpusa.com slash reset.
[00:33:24]  And the wonderful folks at Real America's Voice are going to be streaming it.
[00:33:30]  Steve Bannon will be there.
[00:33:32]  So if you want to show up in a show of support for Steve Bannon, it's tpusa.com slash reset.
[00:33:40]  Someone just emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:33:42]  Charlie, does beheading mean I get no bail in Illinois?
[00:33:46]  There's a story here of woman beheaded with sword in front of onlookers in California.
[00:33:52]  We invade and create a vacuum for ISIS, and then we bring ISIS practices here.
[00:33:58]  Beheading?
[00:33:59]  Sounds like a cartel murder.
[00:34:02]  Jesus, terrible.
[00:34:03]  Someone was beheaded with a samurai sword.
[00:34:07]  That is not the country I grew up in.
[00:34:11]  Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
[00:34:13]  Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:34:16]  Thanks so much for listening.
