I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You gotta 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, you would say college chapter.
Go start a turning point, you'll say high school chapter.
Go find out how your church can get involved.
Sign up and become an activist.
I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
Here I am, Lord Museme.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts, and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
Let's go to our first question.
We got Anthony.
Anthony, please unmute yourself.
You are the first question on our Ask Me Anything Friday.
Afternoon or morning, guys.
Um and Dan really, you have to pull for the Dodgers.
That that one hurts me.
So my question don't let Andrew get any more.
I'm working it.
Tell the world series.
Back channeling it back here.
That's good.
I need to So here's my question, guys.
Uh so last night in New York City, they had the mayor debates and everything.
Um do people really understand if Mandami wins, which it probably will be.
Do they understand what this could trigger for other cities, other states?
You know, because New York City is the iconic city of our country.
Like, do people understand this is not good if he wins, or are they just like being sucked in by fancy words, the the nice smile, the photo ops stuff, you know, where he can't bench 135 pounds.
You know.
Well, yeah, I mean, listen, here's here's I'll I'm gonna offer my take on it, and then Mikey, Danny, feel free to chime in.
I watched the debate.
First of all, I will give a little hat tip to the moderators.
I thought they did a uh really fine job, actually.
They were pretty fair and they managed it pretty well.
Mom Donnie is head and shoulders uh above these guys, just from a pure optics standpoint, just from a pure smooth answering the questions and messaging standpoint.
He's a degree.
He focuses on the things that actually do matter to people.
And I know this because Charlie would focus on the same things.
Affordability.
When Charlie was talking about Gen Z, what was he talking about?
Moon economic moonshot, making homes more affordable, getting young people the opportunity to buy into the American dream, deporting illegals that were driving up housing costs, that were taking entry-level jobs, so that Americans could get those and get that first job on the the rung of the ladder to economic independence and success.
These are things in the Lords of Easy Money, you hear Steve Bannon talking about that.
It's totally spot on.
When we debase our currency, that hurts the working class the most.
The assets owned by the rich inflate in value, and that distance between the haves and the haves nots gets wider and wider and wider.
And so that's why it's so important that we focus on economics.
We have a a limited amount of time to prove that the MAGA national populism conservatism is the ticket for an American revitalization of our uh economy and the economic prospects of the next generation.
We talk about it on this show.
I don't know why they're not talking about it in New York.
I don't know why Sleewa and Cuomo are not talking about it more.
Mom Donnie is.
Now, his prescription is going to destroy the city.
There's no his solutions are gonna destroy the city, but at least he's talking about it.
Uh, but yeah, that's my my my point is is that he is just simply better at this than them.
And he is a he is a candidate that is built for the modern ecosystem, media ecosystem with social media and nifty slogans and all of this stuff.
That being said, Sliwa needs to drop out of the race.
I I like him.
He's a nice man, fine.
He needs to drop out of the race.
He's a spoiler.
The only way to do this is for Sleewa to stop taking shots at Cuomo, put his support behind Cuomo, but he's probably not gonna do that because he's kind of like a uh dogged principled man, which is admirable, but politics is about the art of the possible.
We have to be pragmatist.
Charlie was always about pragmatists, uh, prag uh being pragmatic.
And so he needs to take a page out of Charlie's book, not look for the perfect, go for pragmatism.
That city cannot become a communist haven.
He will put in place apparatus, corruption.
He will riddle that budget with a ton of landmines that will take years and years to undo.
I'm telling you, you you do not want this uh happening in our greatest city.
Our and I'm a and I'm afraid, Andrew, that will trickle into the rest of the state then.
Yeah, no, it will.
It absolutely will.
And what's gonna happen is it's gonna legitimize him, and he's gonna get endorsed by more and more mainstream democrats, which is just gonna further suck that party down a very, very dark and radical left hole.
You're right, it will happen.
So, what we have to do is we have to make sure our ideas work, and we have to make sure our ideas work economically, first and foremost.
There's only there's one thing I'm gonna add that no one is caught in New York, so you all know.
The New York Appeals court has ruled in favor of the Democrats to allow all elections, federal, state, and local to be on even years.
Local elections were on odd years.
So starting next year, all elections will be at the same time now, so Democrats can start winning local elections because they're not getting turnout in the odd years.
Yeah, interesting.
Yeah.
Anything else you want to add?
No.
I would just add it would be one thing if Slee was actually a good candidate.
But yesterday he refused to raise his hand when they asked if the NYPD would even cooperate with the National Guard there and all the crime going on, ice and all that.
So their main problem is that their one supposedly Republican candidate is not even like any good.
He's weak, he's ineffective.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
All right, we've got uh Anthony, thanks so much for your call.
Thanks, guys.
All right, we've got Nick.
Uh, what's your question, Nick?
Uh, my question to you guys was um I it's a simple question, but what do you guys think is the best way to learn?
And if it is books, like a lot of people say, what do you think is like the best way to help retain that info?
Because like I cannot retain the info that I'm reading in these books.
Yeah, I actually had a great conversation with Sergio Gore this last week at the White House, and we were talking about Charlie's ability to retain things, and everybody always thought that he had this photographic memory, but he didn't.
He didn't have a photographic memory.
He would just his secret his secret weapon is he wrote everything down.
He would have these journals with him, and he would write it down.
He said, When you write it down and then you reread what you wrote down, it helps you retain it in a way that's just crazy.
And so I would just start, I'd start by reading a book a month on a topic that you feel inspired by.
If it's religion, maybe start with C.S. Lewis or you know, not enough faith to be an atheist, Frank Turk.
Um, or you can go down other random rabbit holes with Victor Frankel, Man Search for Meeting was one of Charlie's favorites.
But uh Charlie's retention rate for things, it his ability to do that came from writing it down.
It was his weapon.
Blake has great insight.
I wish he was here for this question, but Blake will is uh Blake probably darn near has a photographic memory.
He has a really good memory.
And uh Blake will actually write in the books that he's reading.
So if you, you know, ha if you don't mind doing that with to your book, some people feel very precious with books, but I totally agree.
But the other thing I would say that I almost do book reports, and oftentimes those book reports will come out as like tweets, and that helps me retain information.
So, like if I'm really into a news story, for example, and there's all those details about names and what's this and that, I will write it down and sometimes I'll tweet about it, and that process will it just helps clarify what you're thinking about something because you have to structure an argument.
And when you have to structure an argument based on something you've just read, then it really does help make it sink in.
Hey everybody, Andrew Colvet, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show.
Charlie understood that to lead, he needed to learn.
Hillsdale College was ready to teach him.
While busy running his company, teaching America's youth and raising a beautiful family.
Charlie still found time to complete 31 Hillsdale College free online courses.
He talked about it the last time he spoke on his podcast with Hillsdale's president, Dr. Larry Arn.
Hillsdale is the cutting edge, and I mean it.
It is America's greatest college.
You are a force of nature, Charlie Kirk.
One of these days, I'm gonna give you an honorary degree.
That that would be the honor of my life, but I I got a lot more learning yet to do.
And I say this the Hillsdale courses have changed my life.
Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, Charlie studied the Bible, the classics, the American founding, and through his relentless pursuit of truth, became not only a great American, but a good man.
Charlie's gone, but his spirit of hard work and lifelong learning carry on.
Each of us can follow his example and pick up where he left off.
So learn like Charlie did at Charlie for Hillsdale.com.
That's Charlie for Hillsdale.com.
All right.
Next question.
Jessica.
Jessica, are you there?
Unmute yourself.
I'm here.
Jessica, what's your question?
My question is Um Charlie Kirk did such a brilliant job with our young men.
So how do we reach out to our young women?
We have I mean, it's the difference.
You know what I mean?
The young women really need to be reached out to.
Yeah, I totally agree.
So the question is, how do we get them?
Um, how do we get young women?
I will say, so let me let me tell you a couple things.
One of the one of the things I'm gonna say are probably controversial, like if I said it in front of a bunch of libs.
But we were noticing in the polling, this is before what happened to Charlie, that with our youngest women uh that are of voting age, so 18 to 21, Yale Youth Survey poll did did this poll on 18 to 21-year-old women, and we fought saw for the first time an R plus four with young women.
Now, that was pre-Iran, pre-some of the stuff with Israel, some of the stuff with Epstein.
It's possible that's slid back the the other direction because those things were very unpopular with young young people.
And that was something Charlie and I would talk a lot about, Danny.
I'm sure you were talking about it a lot with him too.
And so it's possible that slipped back, but it was the first time I've ever seen an R plus anything with young women.
The uh the young men I think were like R19, R plus 19.
So we were already seeing the youngest women, and then Gen Alpha behind Gen Z are more conservative still.
So there's good things coming, so keep the faith on that.
There was a actual an MBC article that came out and it was asking the question can Erica Kirk be to women what Charlie Kirk was to young men?
And I think the answer is, in my opinion, and Mikey, I'd love your perspective on this.
If you listen to her speeches, they were uh especially I think back to the the memorial speech where she spoke directly to husbands and wives and young women, and she said to young women, you are not your your husband's rival.
You're not gonna be you do your your your uh virtue is a strength.
Yeah, and and so I do think she is she is calling out the I guess you would say the idols of our age, because young women think they have to be promiscuous, they have to flaunt their physical bodies all over the place where their hemline meets their neckline, and it's you know, that I think is out of I think it's out of fashion more and more with young people.
So Charlie was had this ability to reach young men and give them direction, but young women uh are the ones that are are further to the left than young men, just in the data that we see.
And that's because they're the ones that pay attention to what the professor says in class where the young men maybe are on Snapchat or social media, but you know, Mikey, you're just reminding me of something really quick here with this uh the MBC poll.
We talked about a lot with Charlie, and I'm gonna I'm gonna pull a graphic.
It's probably gonna be a terrible graphic if you guys want to make it better.
Yeah, and and just to kind of continue that point that I was making.
Um, with young women, we we host a young women's leadership summit at Turning Point USA every single year.
We already put out an interest form this year for it, and the numbers are like almost double where triple really where they ever would have been in the past.
And so that's kind of a testament to Erica reaching them already.
But young women are harder to reach because they they pay attention more, they need more detail, they need more understanding, whereas young men, you give them direction, you give them something to fight for, and they will chase after it.
Um, and so people would always ask Charlie, why don't you have a young men's leadership summit?
And he goes, Are you kidding me?
You think young men would pay attention to a lecture for 30 minutes, speaker after speaker after speaker.
And so, yeah, I think Erica is in a unique spot to reach these young women.
She already is.
She she didn't have to add that to her memorial speech.
No, she felt called to add that.
She kept felt called because you know, she knew that we had 120 million streams that we could track, and I'm assuming there was a lot more because people were ripping the stream, and we were cool with that.
We were just saying the memorials for everybody, and uh, and that was a good thing.
We're happy about that.
But listen, I'm gonna Throw up this image.
This is from MBC.
And we talked about this with Charlie as well.
Which of the following is important to your personal definition of success?
And you see young men say having a job or career you find fulfilling would be the top.
Having enough money to do the things you want, achieving financial independence, using your talents and resources to help others, making your family and community proud, owning a home, being married, having children.
Okay.
That's a pretty good list.
Yeah.
But if you go to women, it's having a job or career you find fulfilling, having enough money to do the things you want, achieving financial independence, having emotional stability, using your talents and resources to help others, and owning your own home, having no debt, and then and then down at 10 and 11 is having children and being married.
And so that's how highly young women are placing the things that will really, I think, stabilize your life and bring you actual happiness and joy.
Joy would be the operative word there, but what's sad is that they put that it's the it's kind of right towards the bottom.
It's a second to last.
So that's a huge problem that young women have been sold a lie that getting married and having children will somehow be a drag on them, that they won't be able to do what their first priority is, which is having a job and finding uh a fulfilling career, which is a weird I mean, you would not have seen that in other generations.
Uh Danny, you're you're on the dating scene.
Do you find this a lot?
Yeah, it's a real problem right now.
Um young men, I just feel like are more focused on actually having a family.
Um, which is interesting.
Yeah.
I feel like feminism plays a big role in that.
Um the lie of feminism.
It's really it's really like third wave feminism, which is really toxic, which is trying to be equal with men and this sort of toxic masculinity.
You know, you could make a case for voting, you could make a case for uh having equal uh opportunity in the workplace.
I think that's you know, probably all fine, well, and good, and we've all come to come to see it that way.
But having the option and the freedom to do something is different than prioritizing it as your top priority, okay.
The the having you know, a job for a young woman, um, i is it it's funny because young women's leadership summit, Charlie would always go viral.
Yeah, because he would always say, Listen, the only reason to go to college if you're a woman is to get that MRS degree.
Meet a man, like get married and start having babies.
People, I mean, people would just erupt because he's not allowed to have those opinions as uh as a guy.
Yeah.
Well, well, awesome.
Should we get to Micah?
All right.
Well, should we read his question?
Because this one is a good question.
Yeah.
What what to do about liberal Christian schools?
I just need to do this super quick.
So I went to uh uh Oaks Christian that was my high school in California.
Rob Black is the headmaster there.
They are refusing a turning point USA chapter.
I sent him an email.
Shame.
You're not responding to me, Rob.
And I have a problem with that.
Same with Point Loma in San Diego.
Point Loma.
They this is a Christian school.
You're not allowing a turning point chapter.
What do you they didn't even allow a Charlie Kirk Memorial at Point Loma until we threatened to sue?
So I I'm a little confused at these Christian in name only schools that are somewhat liberal.
Chinos?
Yeah.
Cheetah.
Yeah, we need to use that.
Chinos.
These chinos.
Only beta males wear chinos.
No, I'm kidding.
I'd probably have a couple pairs.
I don't really wear Chinos.
I wear Chinos.
You do wear Chinos.
I love it.
No judgment here.
President Trump walked into a catch-22 when taking office.
Do nothing in America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future.
Instead, he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train and buy us some time.
But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system, and experts predict dramatic price increases in market uncertainty.
Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you.
And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver.
Preserve gold is our go-to choice here at the Charlie Kirk Show.
We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver, even inside your retirement accounts like an IRA or 401k.
Now, hear from Charlie in his own words.
Preserve gold is my go-to choice for all my precious metal needs.
They are the real deal.
And I recommend them to my friends, family, and viewers.

President Trump is fighting for America's future.
Now it's your turn to help protect yours.
Andrew Colvette joined by Danny Phillip and Mikey McCoy.
No, no, we're not going to do any more Mom Donnie impersonation.
I have to stop unless Media Matters is looming.
Patriot takes media matters.
He is the king of fake accent.
He's a code switcher.
He's he's the one that started it.
Okay.
So he's he fakes accents all the time.
So I'm faking the fake.
I'm faking the fake stuff.
You're just doing what he showed us the way on.
Uh Caleb and Michelle.
Uh members.charlie Kirk.com if you want to join our AMAs.
Caleb Michelle, what's going on?
Hey, we thought Mikey's impersonations were hilarious.
So thank you.
Around the office, everybody's begging Mikey to do the impersonation.
He's got a great hydroxychloroque one, but I don't know if we're we'll do Stephen Hawking next next week.
I'll say B is it's really really very good.
Okay.
What's your guys' question?
Hey, well, we were we haven't heard an America Fest update in a while, and our concern is how are we gonna fit all the people that are registered into the Phoenix Convention Center?
We have the same concern.
We actually turned some of the ticketing off because uh VIP filled up.
The actual convention center can expand um in our exhibitor hall, the way it's formatted, there's actually ways to add more seating and to expand it.
So there is ways that we can do it in staging too, the amount of seats that we put there uh if we do side seating versus more stadium seating or higher stadium seating.
So there are ways to fill it.
Um so that's not a worry of ours, but our worry is how can we get even more people there?
Um and it's really exciting because these people usually they're Arizonans that are coming.
These are a lot of out-of-state people coming right before Christmas.
There's yeah, I would say Arizona gets like an outsized presence, but there's always like a lot of people from out of state and I mean we have all 50 states represented at Amfest every year.
We have all 50 states, but it's just it's gonna be more and it's gonna be bigger.
And I will tell you everybody basically that we've asked to come speak at Amfest has been like, yes, please, absolutely, whatever we can do.
So we're gonna have an amazing lineup of speakers at Amfest.
And so rest assured that is gonna happen.
I thought you were gonna ask about the halftime show, because right now my inbox is our inboxes halftime is is the the the-cause they love it.
Did I say did I say it wrong?
No, halftime show.
No, no, no.
I'm saying that everyone's just about half.
Caleb, do you are you excited about the halftime show?
Yeah, I think it's gonna be a phenomenal thing.
I think we'll I I'm hoping the viewership exceeds the people that are watching, you know, the other the other event that's gonna be going on at that same time.
Whatever that other one, that other thing is we don't we don't know we don't know anything about it.
So I so I have to I I thought that's where this was going, so I had the team prep all these clips.
Uh, but I will tell you we have triggered the left.
We have triggered the the the Twitterati or the TikTok uh on the left.
So let's I have to play a couple of these.
Uh okay, so here's all the clips.
Let's play 282.
If you look at the common denominator around all these I would call them white Christian nationalists, is they are all white.
And the Super Bowl halftime performer is not.
Hmm.
Deep thoughts from that's from a Louisville pastor.
A Louisville pastor.
That was really deep.
This is you know, this is why you know the rates of Christianity in this day in the country had been dropping because we had to deal with these kind of beta males.
Okay.
Uh, do you want to chime in on this?
Or I just at least looking forward to our halftime show being in English.
Well, yeah, listen, okay.
Here's the thing.
We have a lot of Hispanic fans of this show and of Charlie.
Like it this is not about this is not anti-Hispanic.
It's Bad Bunny said you had four months to learn Spanish because he refuses to speak English, even though he's Puerto Rican, which is part of America, and he refuses to speak English.
Oh, yeah, but I uh from my lens too, I could view this as we're we're an English speaking country, and this is an English speaking event.
It's also the biggest event on our soil.
Here's another uh clip.
Uh 296.
They're gonna do their own halftime show.
Lee Greenwood did rot.
It's gonna be sponsored by like Minute Made White Rice, salt, and bottled water.
It's so funny how like much people have keyed into like the racial side of this.
It's so strange.
Uh bottled water.
Here's a we had no there is zero racial anything in our thinking about this event at all.
Like at all.
I can tell you like behind the scenes weren't like, we need to do an event for white people.
You know, like that didn't even come into the conversation.
At the intellectual depth of some of these people.
Like it his his roasts aren't even that good.
White rice and bottled water.
Like, what are you trying to get at?
That's not even funny or deep or good.
I don't know.
Okay, this one actually kind of made me laugh.
Like sometimes okay, you get hat tip when it can make you laugh.
366.
We'll host counter programming to the Super Bowl halftime show after a mega meltdown over the NFL choosing bad bunny as this year's headliner.
Adding, we're so happy to announce our headliners.
Kid Rockin and AR 15.
It's actually stupid, but it it had it made me laugh a little bit.
Okay, I I want to play one more.
Let's see.
This is a Lib Karen.
We'll get one Lib Karen in there.
363.
Charlie Kirk's Network just announced that they're going to have a rival halftime show.
and all-American rival halftime show.
Puerto Rico is a United States territory.
Puerto Ricans are US citizens.
I have never wanted to learn Spanish more.
Puerto Rico is an American.
Like where that was You know what it reminded me of is like the, you know, the the weather forecasters in Southern California or something, and they'd be like, you know, they wouldn't.
And it and the clouds are going to be moving in from the West over Santa Barbara.
And then they were just like, you know.
Anyways.
I mean, she can move to Puerto Rico if she really wants to be able to do that.
There's nobody stopping you from learning Spanish.
I actually I studied abroad and learned Spanish.
I have no problem with Spanish.
Yes.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, maybe you don't want to go in Espana.
Yeah.
Anyways, there's nothing wrong with Spanish.
There's nothing wrong with like I it's just so funny that they so many people took this as like an anti Hispanic.
That's not anti-Hispanic.
The guy will not stand for the American national anthem.
The guy doesn't like this country.
He's he won't perform in America because he's worried about ice.
Anyways, we just had to we had to go in that.
Caleb, final thoughts?
Yeah, sure.
The other thing is it's not just the Spanish thing.
I think for years we have been feeling like a certain cultural element is being prust upon us at these shows, in like the Emmys and every halftime show.
And it's like the debauchery, the you know, and it's like we want something that feels American.
We don't feel like the we're a part of these halftime shows, and then we don't feel like they're celebrating things that we want to celebrate.
So why not have our own thing?
And it's not racial motivated at all.
Yeah, but yeah, booty cheeks and debauchery do not define the colour.
You know what I can't watch values.
Yeah, you know what I can't watch anymore?
And I'm as a kid I remember watching it.
Yeah, I cannot watch the Grammys.
It's I haven't watched it.
Is so bad.
I mean filth.
The Oscars at least kind of still tries to, you know, the elegant dresses and stuff, and they don't do the like C through, you know, but at the Grammys, you'll wasn't it like Kanye's wife or whatever?
Didn't she just like show up in a completely new deck or something?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, but this is also the this is stuff that mom Donnie's pushing for, not just debauchery to be platformed for prostitution to be legalized.
You want hookers on the street in America's biggest.
I didn't I never have that's a lie from from Andrew Cuomo about prostitution being legalized, and then they get to the late later part of the question like would you prosecute it?
Well, I I wouldn't prosecute it.
So de facto legalization of prostitution.
So, anyways, it's totally the same thing.
Uh Caleb and Michelle, thank you as always.
Let's get to the next question here.
Uh who's next, Emma?
We got is it Christine?
I'm here.
Hi.
What's your question?
Hi.
My question is about this this um No King's Day tomorrow.
What would this demonstration do?
Could it throw a wrench in the Republicans' efforts, Or is this just political theater?
I just don't understand why they're doing it or why the Democrats are holding out for this.
Yeah, I feel like this is just this is typical of the left.
And this isn't their first protest of this sort.
They this it's a lot of noise with no substance, and you oftentimes forget about it a few days later.
But something I pointed out to Andrew a little while ago is I think it's really ironic and rich that the smaller party is the one shutting down the government, and then once they shut down the government, that same smaller party is the one saying Trump is king.
I just I it's a little ironic to me.
I don't know.
What do you think, Danny?
Yeah, he wouldn't have I mean, if he was really a king, they wouldn't even be able to protest.
Yeah, you wouldn't be able to protest, and you would not be able to shut down the government.
Yeah, I yeah, I I don't know if it will have effect.
Yeah, no, here's here's what it is.
So the entire Democrat Party is under a lot of pressure right now from their left base, so their left flank, right?
That would be the DSA, Democrat Socialists of America, the Antifa base, the Foot Soldier base, the activist base.
And Chuck Schumer and all these guys went along with a continuing resolution earlier in the year, and they got shellacked for it.
Absolutely shellacked, and AOC is waiting in the wings to primary him.
Okay.
So this is a big problem for establishment Democrat politicians.
They need to show that they are with the people and that they're fighting the good fight against the tyrant Donald Trump.
But here's the bigger problem, and why this is actually dangerous is there's going to be a lot of pent-up rage.
Where's the rage coming from?
A lot of it is disinformation.
And you see this, actually, get me the clip, guys, of um Don Lamont, okay?
Don Lamont uh talking about uh getting armed.
Here's what's happening right now.
So there's a bunch of misinformation around ice, specifically ice.
So you've got these showdowns in Portland, you got the showdown in Chicago, and I was looking for a thread here.
Uh somebody uh put together a really great thread of all of these ice stories that have gone massively viral on Blue Sky and on left-wing Twitter, and they're all lies.
So whether that be a picture of uh somebody arresting a four-year-old toddler, you know, it's not actually a a true story at all.
It was a it was a father that was play the kid had asked to be, you know, put handcuffs on him like he was getting arrested.
But there's many, many such stories where they're saying, Oh, if you're black and brown, you're gonna be arrested.
Uh yeah, and th th so they all believe this lie that you're just gonna get arrested if you're black and brown, really quick, 343.
Black people, brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your plate where you live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally.
Because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the second amendment was written for?
Go back and read what the second amendment says.
So so they just want to foment a lot of rage, and the Democrats just want to look like they're doing something about Mino Trump.
So they're using disinformation to do that.
We truly are living in a historic time.
After 738 days, the 20 living Israeli hostages have been released from captivity.
And those who were killed will finally rest in peace near their loved ones.
Praise God.
In this time of celebration, our good friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews send their deepest gratitude for your prayers and unwavering support.
Thanks to you, the fellowship has provided 300 million dollars in emergency aid since October 7th, including millions in direct support for the hostages and their families.
Of course, the road ahead is still a long one.
Much needs to be done to restore and revive these victims of terrorism.
But that's exactly what the fellowship does.
For example, they're assisting returned hostages along with their families and friends with immediate medical, psychological, and financial support.
They're also providing mental health care for Israelis of all ages.
To find out how you can help, visit IFCJ.org.
That's IFCJ.org.
There's a thread, and I'm gonna find it.
Uh actually Blake was the one who flagged it for me, but it's it's basically it's it's about six or seven stories, and the person that put this thread together highlighted just how many millions of views these stories have, and they're all lies.
And the person debunks them uh each one by one.
And it's it's basically just if you're black or brown, if you're a citizen, they're gonna come into your door, they're gonna knock on it, they're gonna drag you out in front of your family, and they're gonna send you to some foreign country, even though you're an American citizen.
Not happening.
It's not happening.
And so for Don Lamont, who has something of a platform, obviously he we we find him to be something of a joke.
They are you know trying to stoke outrage.
That's their whole thing right now.
Be outrage, be mad.
And we're we're living under a tyrant and they're weaponizing the j judicial system.
I am very, very worried for our ICE officers all around the country because a lot of this anger is being thrown at them, and it's really not fair because they're just doing the job that the American people voted for and that their elected officials finance with the one big beautiful bill to add more ice agents and to do mass deportations.
This was not something that we hid in the campaign.
We went we wanted mass deportations.
Danny, I know you wanted mass deportations.
Yeah, I love how Don Lamont is suddenly now pro-gun when it comes to protecting illegal aliens, but when it comes to protecting your own family, he doesn't want anybody to have a gun as well anti-second and how he framed it.
He's like, You've got to protect your family with your gun because ice is gonna come in and rage your home because you're black and brown.
And that's but only black and brown people are allowed guns.
But this is it is it is some somewhat disturbing because right wing gun culture is like very established, it's hunting, it's passed down generationally.
These people are like this this is deranged stuff.
So this is like a whole different vibe, right?
And you see this with the armed LGB, you know, the armed queer SLC group that I that we are you know looking into right now.
And did they know about Charlie's the the assassination that was gonna happen against Charlie?
And you know, but this is uh John Brown gun club.
There is a very insidious left-wing gun culture, armed militia culture that's happening, and uh we have to be on the lookout for it because you know these people do not believe in l the liberal values of open debate and open dialogue, they've rejected them outright.
And we saw that with Mark Bray, the Rutgers professor that wrote the Antifa book.
The whole book is advocating for preemptive violence to smash fascism, and what is fascism and it's conservatives?
That's what they think of conservatives.
Um they think we're all Nazis.
All right, next question.
Uh Brandon, I think we have Brandon.
Is that the next one?
I think we're waiting for Brandon.
Do we have emails that we want to get to?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Andrew, there's multiple emails asking about your hair gel.
I keep saying this.
Two.
Yeah.
Wait, so it's actually uh I use crew.
Oh, good.
I think it's crew fiber.
What?
I just had to bring it up.
You had to, you jerk.
You had to.
No, um, so it it it so what happened was I started to have to you know be on the show every day, and normally my hair's kind of like crazy and like dry.
And so all of a sudden I was like, Well, I can't, you know, it's just too risky to go that way.
So I just like at least this way, I just like come back and it kind of like sits down.
All right, Brandon, what's your question?
Let's get on to something more wholesome.
Hey guys, uh, just a little context for this question.
So uh I gave a a speech about my Charlie Kirk journey last night at the our local uh Ronald Reagan dinner in Iowa.
And you know, I was preparing for and after I gave in afterwards, I was just I was kind of thinking like how does Charlie prepare for his speeches and then afterwards, you know, how does he you know who gives him feedback?
Does he take notes on what he did?
Like, how does he get better after every speech?
Mikey, why don't you take this one?
Yeah, he yeah, well, sometimes actually Charlie used to do a lot of speech prep, but then he got to a point in in the later years where he was just so good at giving speeches that some days he would just like write before take ten minutes and do five bullet points and then get on stage and just riff.
I guess it was a gift that he had.
I I have so many memories of Charlie, like what I would I would be with if you know before his speech, and he'd be like, we'd be backstage and goes, um, so what do you think I should talk about?
Like I'm like, dude, Charlie, you're going on in two minutes.
Like they're literally announcing you, you just like put me on the spot.
Like, what what do I need to talk about?
And this is the other thing that's really cool about Charlie, is people actively avoid QA because you never know what you're gonna get.
And so it's the wild unknown, is what Charlie used to call it.
And it's it's it's exciting.
It's you're out in the streets, you're basically fighting with words, and people try to avoid QA, but Charlie would actively seek it.
So he would say, Can I just do like a 10-15 minutes speech and then 45 minutes of QA?
And and events that he went to, they loved that about him.
So I I'm I just encourage everybody who gives speeches to just keep on getting to the point where you give so many of them and you do such a good job that you can inevitably get to the point that Charlie was at where it goes on stage.
Yeah just repetition is key just do more and if you're not doing a lot if you have like these one offs I would say prep a lot practice go into like a private place and read it out.
Yeah re read out the speech uh put you have to say it out loud do it out loud don't just read it it takes like 10 times reading a speech before you kind of have it in the back of your head so then you don't have to look down at the paper as much or your iPad or whatever you're reading.
Yeah I don't I do not actually give a lot of speeches but that's what I did for the memorial speech and now I mean you and I have both been asked to speak a lot of places.
I don't know if I'm going to be an active speech giver but I will say that well in that moment I had to I just did a lot of it I just read it back and read it back and read you know who's actually good at speeches and this is Danny.
Danny's good at speeches and he gave them all the time at Ohio State Danny was the chapter prez.
Yeah not that good but oh you you you do good I was better at just prepping for Charlie.
Yeah we do have an uh question here from Elizabeth do you have an anyone organizing Charlie's reading list that we can access online you cannot access it yet but we are actively working on it and Blake is running point on that and we have to find that tweet this guy put out a tweet where he said I heard you guys talking about on the show and so I went back and watched every single episode and send it this guy's great we got to find him somewhere we gotta find that tweet I know let me just find it that should have been flag bookmark and and everything.
And by the way, I think we have something going on.
I found it.
We found it.
Oh, here we go.
No, please don't do this.
Yeah, here we go.
Uh-oh, we're losing them.
This is not going to work.
Oh, look it.
