Let's go to Sheila.
Sheila, thank you for being a member.
What is on your mind?
I live in Colorado in Denver.
I have two young nephews about five miles from where the supposed Venezuela gang took over the apartment complex.
There's a lot of conflicting information.
I don't know what to believe.
I'm confused.
I'm concerned.
Okay, I think I got it.
Sheila, you're breaking in and out.
So yes, the question you were asking is all about the Venezuelan gang in Aurora, Colorado.
Our Frontlines team at Turning Point USA, we decided to go find out for ourselves, is it true that Venezuelan gangs are infiltrating and have taken over American apartment complexes?
And our team has confirmed this.
Our Frontlines team has done amazing work.
Now, what's happening in Aurora, Colorado is actually way worse than the media has been reporting and has been going on since 2023.
Across multiple complexes with extortion, assaults, stabbings, and of course, child prostitution.
Now, we're still trying to get to the absolute bottom of this, but what's clear is this, is the Kamala Harris regime does not care about stopping this.
They are flying criminals in from foreign countries, and it would be trivial to sweep a town like Aurora, find the people there illegally, and send them back.
They could solve this in five hours.
Bring in the National Guard, have Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement accompany them, go door-by-door, wear your papers, are you an illegal, boom, get them out of the country, fly them back to Caracas.
And we have found that the Frontline's investigative team is still there and proves that Tren de Araga took over apartments in the Denver metro area.
The Frontline's team, brought to you by Turning Point USA, releases the entire document detailing shocking allegations against the Venezuelan street gang and the stranglehold it had on residents.
And so, we are exposing that the Venezuelan street gang is indeed taking over apartment complexes.
Investigators say at least three CPZ-run complexes in Aurora have been infiltrated by Tren de Oraga.
The list in Cruz includes Aspen Grove, The Edge, at Lowry, and Whispering Pines.
Now, why are we not doing anything about it?
Because open borders and allowing foreigners to take over American soil is the number one priority of the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party must allow foreigners to take priority over Americans.
It is, Americans should be put last, and Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans, and Hondurans, and El Salvadorians, and Panamanians, and Colombians, and Argentinians, and Uzbekistanis, they come above Americans.
Because they cannot come to the belief that Americans are actually good.
Okay, let's get to the next question here.
Let's go to Claire.
Claire, thank you for being a member.
Members.CharlieKirk.com.
diversity is our strength, diversity is our strength. It is fundamental to their
political project to allow foreigners take over our apartment complexes and
our country. Okay, let's get to the next question here. Let's go to Claire. Claire,
thank you for being a member. Members.CharlieKirk.com. What is on your mind?
Hi, so I'm a senior in high school and I have a job that I've had for about a
year and a half now.
I really respect my boss.
I love, I absolutely love my job, but I disagree with him a lot on political things, but I still respect him.
How do I go about that without disrespecting him but not taking a knee to my beliefs?
Well, first of all, thank you for being a member.
Very articulate question.
And you're going to go far in life.
What kind of a job is it?
Is it a service industry job?
Is it something you want to make?
I'm just curious.
So it's like, yes, it's kind of a service industry.
It's a landscape company.
And so I sell materials and it's a very small company.
It's like 10 people.
So I interact with him a lot, but I'm also dealing with customers.
Yeah, and Snow, I'm just curious.
My advice would be try to avoid politics if you can.
And if he brings it up, I would just kind of shrug it off.
Don't try to get into it.
You could agree to disagree.
And he does have power over you as being a boss.
He does control the company, or at least your supervisor as you're articulating it.
And so I would not allow politics to get in the way of that.
Especially as you're a senior in high school, you know, you're going to try to continue to ascend and grow in your career.
So that would be my advice for you for sure.
And thank you for being a member and you got to get involved in Turning Point with Turning Point USA.
Getting involved with Turning Point USA.
So make sure you do that.
Thank you so much.
Great.
Other breaking news, by the way.
Gavin, so much breaking news.
Gavin Newsom has vetoed AB 1840, which would have allowed undocumented people to apply for the state's first-time homebuyer assistance program, which would have been $150,000 in loans for foreigners subsidized by the taxpayers.
So that's even too far for Gavin Newsom in an election year.
Let me be very clear.
Gavin Newsom is okay with this.
What he's not okay though is that Gavin Newsom did not want this to be connected to Kamala Harris.
That's the only reason he vetoed this.
Gavin Newsom is not some sort of moderate force.
He's not some sort of person that's trying to temper it down.
If this would have been passed, Kamala Harris being from California, this would have been tied to Kamala Harris.
If this passed and they lost the presidential election, he knows he'd be blamed for them for losing.
This is so deeply unpopular that foreigners would be able to get a first-time home buyer's assistance program.
And by the way, the veto still might be overturned, just so we're clear.
Might be.
Unlikely, but it's still potential in the California legislature for it to be overturned.
Okay.
Is it Janine?
Is that right?
Make sure you unmute yourself or should I just read the question?
Okay.
I will read the question.
Could you please provide an update on the winner take all initiative in Nebraska?
Soon.
Trust the process.
There's things that are moving and happening.
We haven't given up on it yet.
That's all I'm going to say.
Josiah, what do we know about the Trump sentence being delayed?
Look, we just did a whole program on this.
This is a major victory for the country, where now the Trump sentence is not going to happen before the election.
So many Democrats were banking on Donald Trump being sentenced to prison before the election, potentially being hauled off to prison, and having that kind of hang over him.
This is a major political victory, and a victory for the country.
Even if you hate Donald Trump, even if you think so low of Donald Trump, Do you want a country where the opposition political leader and the former president of the United States could be hauled off to jail days before people vote, while people are voting?
That is direct election interference.
There is no other way about it.
This is a victory for our election system, for our processes, for our norms and our customs, and it's a major death blow.
Major blow.
To the Democrat lawfare apparatus, where they have been counting for quite some time on putting Donald Trump in chains, putting him in prison, locking him up, because they know they cannot beat our movement, they cannot beat the ascendant movement of populist nationalism, of citizen-led reclamation of our government, under normal or fair terms.
That the country that we have, the country that we're trying to save the country, with this movement, it's a popular movement.
And by all issue-based polling outside of abortion, the American people are in alignment with our view system.
So they had to try to put him in prison.
They had to try to cheat.
And they failed.
It's a major victory for this country.
Major.
And it dramatically improves Donald Trump's chances of winning.
Dramatically.

Let's go to Laura.
Laura, make sure you unmute yourself.
What is up?
Hey, Charlie.
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
God bless you.
Thank you for being a member.
Oh, I love it.
Hey, listen, first of all, I love the fact that your Greens includes kitty cats.
Okay.
I just have to tell you that.
Oh, I love that.
So Meow Greens.
So you're a big Meow Greens fan.
Is that right?
Yes, I am.
And every time you say that, I crack up because I always say, yay!
They also like cats.
I love that.
That is so great.
And by the way, the audience can get it at roughgreens.com.
And so you're a big Meow Greens person.
That's awesome.
Well, I mean, I love dogs too, but kitty cats, you know, go for them.
So anyhow, I wanted to, I asked you about First of all, I want to thank you guys.
And I also was telling you, I was reading in Amos.
I want you to check out Amos 5 in the Bible.
And one of the things that's cool in here is you were talking about justice and what we're going through.
For those who turn justice into wormwood and cast righteousness down to the earth.
Isn't that interesting?
And then when you look to this, seek good and not evil that you may live, and thus may the Lord God of hosts be with you.
Just as you have said, hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the gate.
Perhaps the Lord God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Isn't that cool?
It's kind of like how this whole movement, what you're doing, you, I told you, you're kind of like a Joshua.
Well, you're very kind.
I don't know about that, but first of all, I love that.
The book of Amos is a very, very powerful book, and not very well known.
How did you stumble into the book of Amos?
Because I love the Lord, and the Lord is in it.
This is all in it.
Boy, oh boy, every day I read about all this stuff.
Acts, All this kind of stuff.
The Lord is alive.
He's living.
He's giving clear direction.
Very much so.
So I watched you and I saw a really cool thing this morning of you on Instagram when you were talking to the one And I felt sorry.
I said, I pray for these people that cannot speak a sentence because these kids are being indoctrinated.
So my heart aches for them.
But the Lord is clearly dividing the wheat and the chaff.
And it's amazing to be right now living in this day and age When you know the ending and I can see your clear movement and how you're guided and how you guys are walking strongly along and so I just want to be an encourager.
You are an encouragement.
Being a member means so much.
Where do you live by the way?
You're welcome, Charlie.
Wow, what a great spot. I can tell you love the Lord. I'd love to send you a book too.
Our team will be in touch. Thank you for that. Amos 5, I'm gonna read that tonight just for you.
You'll just give you wonderful power. Okay, hey, thank you so much, Charlie.
God bless you. Thank you for praying for us. We need it right now. Thank you.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
Caleb and Michelle, two of my favorite people. What's up, my friends? Happy Friday. Thanks for
being a member as always. You're welcome, Charlie. Thanks.
Well, this surprise because we did not write down a question except maybe one from last week.
Thank you.
But off the cuff, how does it feel losing 125 bucks to Blake last night?
You know, I gotta pay him.
Blake, you gotta send me your Venmo information, or your Zelle.
I feel humiliated, to be honest.
That's okay, Blake is a smart guy, you don't have to feel too bad.
And it's good, I was thinking it's really good that you have him on your team.
I agree.
Well, my literal head is very big, but hopefully my metaphorical head doesn't get too big.
But yes, you cannot pass by Blake's desk without debating something.
Yes, really quick, Caleb.
Okay, pay for members for AmFest.
Should we go with the early bird or should we wait to see if there's a special...
That's a good question, actually.
...members discount.
We haven't...
I'll be very honest.
I haven't put any attention on AmFest yet at all.
I've just worried about winning the election.
The answer is, for members, we'll probably have something special for you guys.
I know for sure we're going to have the members-only lounge.
We're going to have the same type of meetups we had last year, but I believe there's going to be a special members thing, so I would hold, actually.
I never tell people not to buy tickets, but I would hold.
So, hold for that, and then we're going to send something out just for members.
All right.
You're the best, guys.
Thanks, Cale and Michelle.
God bless you both.
We love you.
Thank you, guys.

Members.CharlieKirk.com.
What amazing supporters we have.
They know that I lost money to Blake and they're talking about Amos 5.
I'll tell you, America has the best people on the planet.
We have some of the worst leaders.
Some of the best people.
We deserve better leaders.
Okay, Janine is with us right now.
And Janine, thank you for being a member.
Make sure you unmute yourself.
Janine, what is on your mind?
Hi, Charlie.
I just wondered what your recommendation was, like, when we're door knocking and we come across a person who clearly has Trump derangement syndrome.
What is the best thing to say to them?
So, yeah, I have to ask, first of all, Janine, thank you for being a member.
Are you knocking on just neighbors' doors?
Are you using a local GOP's data?
How do you decide what doors to knock on?
Well, um, initially we were doing, uh, low propensity voters.
Um, and then, uh, right now, uh, Trump force 47 is, um, partnering with us and, uh, a lot of people are transitioning to that, um, to their, uh, campaign sidekick.
And there's a lot of swing voters, like, um, you know, not, not the usual, um, you know, right leaning people.
Now, is this in Michigan?
Yes.
Okay, yeah.
So, a couple things.
I'd love to talk to you offline.
If you're knocking on a door of somebody with TDS, we gotta get you better data, right?
Because you shouldn't be knocking on doors of people like that.
But that's not your fault.
But if you do encounter someone with Trump Deranged Syndrome, it's not your job to persuade them this close to the election.
There is no way to do that.
You can see how I do it on college campuses.
Ask a series of questions.
Here's the kicker, Janine, to maximize your time.
You should ask one question.
Is there anything that could change your mind to make you vote for Trump?
And if they say no, say, thank you so much, have a great day.
Because your time is valuable, right, Janine?
Beyond that, it's not going to be up to you.
Now, if they say, well, yeah, maybe if Trump, you know, would just do this, be like, okay, well, maybe we can talk about, you know, the economy or immigration, or maybe you could even say, is there one thing you think that Trump did well?
So, the focus and the emphasis, for sure, should be after low-propensity conservatives, but sometimes in the data, those people come across as having TDS.
All right, Janine, thank you so much.
Are you worried about the future of the U.S.
economy?
With so much uncertainty in the air, it's natural to fret about the security of your retirement savings.
But there's one asset that stands the test of time, and that is gold.

Charles, thank you for being a member.
Members.charliekirk.com.
What is on your mind?
Yeah, I've been following you for a while and as a doctor of chiropractic, I've been
very happy to observe over the past few years you and other conservative thought leaders
or seeing the light as pertains to some of the machinations of the
Medical-industrial complex.
It's about the chiropractic profession and the stubbornness of my Democrat colleagues.
I wanted to ask your opinion, maybe your assistance.
I don't know how much you know about chiropractic, but there's not a lot of us, 70,000 in the country, but we got a lot of patients, about 35 million as a base, and that's a pretty sizable contingent of prospective voters.
For about a year, my Democrat colleagues are behind RFK, and RFK is a big supporter of chiropractic care, cites it with improving the quality of his speaking voice.
And I was really hopeful that the inclusion of RFK in the Trump campaign would result in my Democrat colleagues moving to support Trump out of self-preservation, and for no other reason.
The Democrat left has made no secret of their contempt for my profession, for the scientific basis of chiropractic, and other vitalistic healthcare providers.
During the COVID-19, the Democrat governor of Kentucky deemed chiropractic to be non-essential.
Liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries, they're essential, not doctors of chiropractic.
And despite this overt, in-your-face, middle finger to my profession, we still have a bunch of chiropractors who are eager and happy to pull the lever for Democrats.
What do we do?
I'm twice your age, but I have a great deal of respect for your I look up to you in a lot of ways.
Thank you.
Your erudition and your ability to see through stuff.
Well, I am a believer in chiropractic care.
Now, I will say there's some chiropractors I've gone to that are not great, but some are terrific, and I think you would appreciate that.
Yeah, same for any profession.
Medical doctors, dentists, podiatrists, whatever.
Yes, no, no, for sure.
And I'm a believer in it.
And I think that it can help alignment issues.
I have a terrible back, unfortunately, and it's helped me a lot, especially when there's too much pressure that is building up just to try to release some of that pressure.
So, it's really interesting.
I have to ask you, I thought that most chiropractors would be conservative, liberty-minded, freedom-minded, and you're saying they vote for the Democrat Party?
That's amazing to me.
Like, for example, when there's the American Chiropractic Association, I think you guys meet every year, right?
Yeah, just a couple of different associations, but yes.
The ACA is going to be probably more Democrat than Republican.
Yeah, that's the estimate.
American Chiropractic Association?
The ACA is going to be probably more Democrat than Republican.
And how about just generally out of all American chiropractors?
All 30, you said 70,000 of you?
Yeah, that's the estimate.
I would say, look, I mean, we tend to hang out together, meaning that, you know, conservatives
hang out with conservatives and so forth.
I think that the chiropractic profession breaks down a lot into the demographics that you alluded to in your past shows, where I'm a boomer, but I don't think of myself as a boomer.
I was born in 59, but I don't hang out with old people.
I find that a lot of the folks my age tend to be still in that hippy-dippy George Carlin state of mind.
Even if they're in that hippy-dippy mode, I would imagine that there is more of a home for them in the new conservative movement than there is with the Democrat Party, which is a party of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Big Ag and Big Food.
And I have tried to bring that up to them, and RFK actually spoke at Life College, Life University in Marietta, Georgia last year.
And I was so hopeful that his movement over to Trump was going to be the deciding factor.
Maybe not for all of these folks, because you're going to have TDS in any group of people.
But again, I mean, that's why I'm asking you about it.
I mean, I was hoping that, you know, there's what do we do?
You have to keep on getting the message out and confronting them with their own values.
So that's my so if they have if they make people live up to their own book of rules.
So if somebody has a stated value system, where they say, well, I want the individual to be sovereign, and I don't want the government to be able to tell you to do what you just did was so eloquent and so really good, was really effective, say, wait a second, then why do you want to vote for a party at one of the mandate vaccines, vote for a party that wants to keep up this terrible food supply that is poisoning our kids, that does not want to address chronic diseases?
I would keep on going about that.
And if they don't have eyes to see or ears to hear, then that's more on them than on you.
I'm a big fan of chiropractic.
I'm a major medical freedom believer, and we now have a shirt now, actually, at TheCharlieKirkShowStore.com.
Boy, we gotta get a better URL.
Can we just say CharlieKirk.com?
Let's go to CharlieKirk.com.
That's a ridiculous URL.

We'll send you a free one there.
Thank you for being a member.
Really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Okay, let's go to Lucas.
We're going to read the... By the way, I want to announce just right now, we have Bobby Kennedy and Callie Means.
We are doing a town hall September 17th at 6.30 p.m.
in Old Town Scottsdale with Bobby Kennedy and Callie Means.
That's right, in Old Town Scottsdale, Make America Healthy Again.
Let's put that up on screen.
We have a Make America Healthy Again event.
It is now live with Bobby Kennedy and Callie Means in Old Town Scottsdale.
That is coming up on September 17th.
It's going to be really well attended.
Get your tickets right now at tpaction.com.
We have become such a depressed, obese, overweight, slow, sluggish country.
Maha gear there.
So go to tpaction.com slash Maha to make America healthy again.
Boy, that is caught on.
And we have become such a depressed, obese, overweight, slow, sluggish country.
And part of it is the food that we eat, the lack of activity.
We have to better neutrify ourselves.
Go to tpaction.com slash maha.
Okay, Lucas says, Charlie, how do you recommend an 11-year-old go out and change minds about Trump and God?
My stepson is very motivated to talk to people and change minds.
He's always asked me questions.
We still read the Bible and look what's happening spiritually, politically, and culturally together to the extent that's appropriate for an 11-year-old.
The Lord has blessed him at a young age.
I truly believe it.
That's incredible, Lucas.
Make sure you, first of all, get him involved with Turning Point USA.
Secondly, have an emphasis on learning.
Learn, learn, learn.
The more time you spend in absorbing information, reading books, learn, learn, learn.
You've got to check it out.
So that is one of the most important things that you can do is to absorb as much information at a young age.
By doing that, you will become a better advocate, a better spokesperson.
Make sure you do that.
And it's very important.
Okay, let's go to Josiah.
Josiah, thank you so much for being a member.
What's on your mind?
Hey Charlie, thank you so much for this opportunity.
Good.
Hey, I was curious, how do you, have you found an effective way to get people to care?
Effective way to get people to care.
Especially Christians, right?
That is one of the great challenges of my work, is how do I get good people to care?
And the other question is, can you be good if you don't care?
I don't know the answer to that.
There's a really interesting thing.
Dennis Prager's son, Aaron Prager, has a podcast and I've listened to one or two of them and every single
show he says something where he says uh good people have a moral obligation to know what's
happening around them and I think I totally agree and yes I'm not saying you're evil I'm not saying you're
bad but I wouldn't use the word good if you do not if you're not watching the news if you're not
aware of what's happening if you don't know your leaders if you're not praying for them if you're
not actively involved So I think we must teach goodness in a way where it's a matter of understanding what's happening around you, and caring about it, and fighting for it, and not just being a spectator.
Yeah, I got invited to be on a church panel at a men's conference later this month, so I was just curious if you had any pointers on that.
We're in upstate New York.
Great.
Yeah, I mean, I would say first, of course, Jeremiah 29.7.
I would quote that, which is, demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
That is Jeremiah 29.7.
Commit that to memory, which is very important.
And then Psalm 97.10, which is, for those of you who love God, you must hate evil.
And then I believe the other one is Micah 6.8.
Can I get that up here?
I think it's Micah 6.8.
Let me see.
I have it saved in my phone here.
Yep, Micah68, I was right.
And so let me actually get the exact wording here, which is very simple, which is... Also the one about Pharaoh is a good one, too.
Yeah, no, of course.
Like, He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
What does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
That is what God wants out of us.
And involved in that is to walk humbly with God, is to care about what's happening to your nation.
So I hope that's helpful, Josiah.
Thank you so much for being a member.
Thanks, Matt.
I appreciate it.
All right, we want to go to a written question here.
Lots of questions being submitted.
Members.CharlieKirk.com.
Carl, where would you recommend a new Christian start when it comes to reading the Bible?
Carl, what a great question.
Thank you.
I would start with the book of John.
The book of John is the most readable for new Christians.
It is actually considered the new Christian gospel in the sense where it's written for new Christians
and new Christians tend to really resonate with it. So I would read the book
of John and then secondly I would then go from John and then read a little
bit of the book of Acts but also the book of Mark is very very easy to read
considering all the Gospels. It's written in active prose, actually uses the
Greek word kairos a lot which is an action verb. And then I would read the book
of Exodus, at least the first first couple parts of Exodus.
The later parts of Exodus can get a little bit confusing with some of the Levitical laws, like Exodus 23, 24, 25, 26.
But I would definitely read the book of John first, and then the book of Exodus.
But you can jump around a little bit, but the whole entirety of the book of John is the gospel.
It is said beautifully.
It's said perfectly.
People throughout time have said the book of John is the best place for new Christians to start.
Now, if you want to get more intellectual, the book of Romans, which comes after the book of Acts, is the believer's constitution.
The constitution of the believer, of the Christian, is the book of Romans.
It's written as a legal document, essentially.
It is very, very well built, of like, this is core theological truth of the scriptures.
And so, and then if you want to just read, and then one for comfort, and then one for wisdom, Every day, read one proverb and one psalm.
One proverb and one psalm.
One proverb and one psalm.
So, jumping between John, Exodus, Proverbs, Psalms, those are the four books.
And now, why the book of Exodus?
The book of Exodus is a very, very entertaining book.
It reads like an action book.
Here you have God's chosen people.
They get terrorized by this Pharaoh.
A guy who didn't want to be called into action gets called out into this.
His name is Moses.
He leads God's chosen people through all these plagues into the desert.
There's a ton of action.
There's war, there's conflict, there's strife, there's division.
So it's very, very readable for new Christians.
And I would recommend the book of Genesis.
The first 11 books of Genesis set up the entire scripture, the entire Bible.
But when it gets deeper into Genesis, I think new believers tend to drop off.
