Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. 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 got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31
Speaker 2: Go start at turning point.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: You would say college chapter. Go start aturning point, yould say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39
Speaker 1: 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.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: Lord, Use me.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers.
00:01:09
Speaker 4: All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is January twenty ath twenty twenty six. We're here in Phoenix, Arizona. Have a jam packed show for you today. Lots going on to cover. We got a bunch of people in Davos, lots of things talking about there is there a new global world order in the making Canada, Macrone in France, Ursula vonder Land saying that there's a new financial system under way. So we're monitoring that and we have to keep our eyes on that. But more pressing on the home front is the topic of Virginia.
00:01:43
Speaker 5: We started on this yesterday. We did we mentioned because we were talking about sanctuary cities, and Abigail Spanberger takes over in Virginia immediately throws out all cooperation with ICE, which is going to put lives in danger. It's going to mean a lot more of those traumatic raids they say are so evil because it's way easier to arrest child rapists, robbers, murderers, etsara if you're just able to pick them up at a jail. But they're not going to do that. But they also have a trifecta in Virginia. So in addition to their Democrat governor, they have a Democrat state. Do they have some House of delegates.
00:02:24
Speaker 4: House delegates customized you this is a state that Kamala Harris won by a mere six points.
00:02:31
Speaker 5: Six points.
00:02:32
Speaker 4: Well no, but listen, this is not California, This is not even New York, this is not this is six points, so it relatively, I mean, Arizona was won by six points, basically a little less than six points.
00:02:45
Speaker 3: And Virginia.
00:02:48
Speaker 4: What's interesting about the Virginia experience right now is that they've been in power for a matter of days and one day the litany of progressive causes, wish list items in lockstep with zero pushbacks, so they have advanced is truly stunning people.
00:03:07
Speaker 5: So it was pointed out they ran in if you look at October twenty twenty five, as electioneers, Democrats campaign on high utility bills, energy plans. So their campaign was electricity prices are too high. Vote for Democrats. We have a great record on that, I guess is their claim. But what they're now doing, they're in the legislature and they're introducing bills. Not all of these will pass, but it's a very good insight into what their agenda is. Generally, some of that them, some of that people have heard about already. They want to change their house map to be ten to one. We also have let's see, we have a bill to reduce the punishments for robbery offenses, and it will also reclassify some forms of robbery so they are no longer violent crimes, even if they use violent coercion on people, so not a violent crime, which means much lower penalties. They want to get rid of Virginia's Republican version of criminal justice, where three violent crimes can get you life in prison. We have a bill to ban the hand counting of ballots if they are machine readable, just specifically has to be machine counted. We have a bill to put out home child based healthcare grants.
00:04:21
Speaker 4: Oh oh, I wonder where they got that idea. There won't be any fraud in that at all. Rest assured, listen to this one. Democrats in Virginia have introduced a bill that discriminates against white men inment government contracting. For discretionary contracts under one hundred thousand dollars, white men are barred from even being considered unless there's literally no competition, and even then, this bill allows agencies to award contracts to women or minority owned firms that are five percent more expensive than a bid from a business owned by a white man.
00:04:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, they set a statewide explicit quota goal of having forty two percent of contracts go to certified small SWAM businesses. I think that is a women and minority owned businesses.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: Uh.
00:05:04
Speaker 5: And they basically have the goal of getting up to forty two percent, and so they have to increase the percent by three percent a year until they reach it. And yeah, so the order is give out contracts to people based on the race, on the sex of the owner, even if they cost taxpayers more, even if it's less able to supply that we already know, we know from decades of experience how this works. One of the most common ways people feel this is they just create a company and all it does is buy from a better let's use frank, a better white male owned company. They jack up the price by the amount they're allowed to get away with, and they just take that cut as their profits.
00:05:45
Speaker 3: Their profits pure arbitrage.
00:05:46
Speaker 4: Well, and I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but yesterday was MLK Day, and it was as if it was used as a giant excuse for libs just to say crazy things. It was it was anti white male. It was anti meritocracy, It was pure fiction on many in many regards, but it became like this rallying point. I think they smelled blood in the water. And there's a tendency to overreact to trump erapolitics.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: Right.
00:06:16
Speaker 4: We saw this with the border. President Trump wanted to build the wall. It was a big talking point, it was a big controversy in Trump one point zero. So what did Dems do as soon as Biden gets in power, completely opens the border, undoes everything that was that the president President Trump administration had done in forty five and then you get ten to fifteen million illegals flooding the border, and you get this same pattern on repeat now in Virginia, and it is a precursor of what will happen to the country if we lose power in the midterms, if we, god forbid, lose power in twenty twenty eight.
00:06:48
Speaker 5: It's a real pattern that has to be recognized, and we have to remind people of it over and over, which is there's much more of a gap between I believe what a Republican base might want and what a Republican majority will in practice do. Frankly, a lot of our guys flake on stuff in an annoying way. So you're not going to get the maximal conservative dream plan. Anytime Republicans get a trifecta in a state, it just doesn't happen, Whereas with Democrats, they very much have this set of let's go get Abigail Spanburger and she okay, she worked for the CIA. We can't tell you what she did, but it was probably really boring, and she looks nice and respectable. And or Minnesota you'll run Tim Walls, who's just your social science teacher looking yeah, hicclib white guy. But then what they are going to reliably pass at the state level is basically, I know, insane gay race Marxism or whatever.
00:07:50
Speaker 4: Between beta males and Karen's and they use the fronts of these soft progressive white you know, sort of resentable libs like Spamberger here, and then they go full Marxism. This is a tweet from Cernovich. I thought it boiled it down really well. To seventy seven. Democrats won Virginia and are going full Marxist taxes at California levels, banning white men from government contracts, surveillance tech cameras to issue tickets, internet voting gun bands. There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat.
00:08:22
Speaker 5: As an example, So Virginia had a Republican trifecta for a while. They after Dobbs, they did not pass a total abortion ban in the state of Virginia. But what they did just the Virginia Senator's passing right now is they're voting to put out a constitutional amendment that would be abortion until birth as a constitutional right in Virginia, which they're going to go for the absolute maximalist.
00:08:46
Speaker 3: Position, exactly.
00:08:47
Speaker 4: And they do it without flinching, without thinking, They just go And all of this stuff was pre planned, it was prepackaged. It was the plan all along. And to Blake's point earlier, what did they run on. They ran on utility rates, They ran on utility bills, that's what they told the public. And then they go in there and they go full Marxist. That is the insidious, unyielding force that we are up against.
00:09:12
Speaker 5: That I didn't even know about this one. Another Virginian Democrat introduced a bill it would make it a crime to approach within eight feet of a person who is within forty feet of an abortion clinic.
00:09:26
Speaker 6: Jeez.
00:09:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, And and by the way yesterday, I got all these texts.
00:09:30
Speaker 4: From like some of my you know people that I wouldn't even call some of them friends, but their libs going like, how is this a face act violation? With Don Lemon going and yes, we call him Don Leamon, it's Don Lemon. I got a bunch of notes on that Don Lemon. It's just a fun way to make.
00:09:43
Speaker 3: Fun of him.
00:09:44
Speaker 5: But clearly we're not watching Tucker Carlson eighteen.
00:09:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
00:09:47
Speaker 4: But Don Lemon goes into you know, a church. He is an activist. He kissed the organizer. There's video footage of that, and he said thank you for your service. He was not an independent journalist. He was an activist. And I all these Oh I wasn't a face act violation? Oh yeah, Well, the Virginia Democrats are about to, you know, criminalize going within eight feet of a activist fighting abortion. If you're stressed about getting out of debt, it's go time. Seriously, this is one of those moments where timing actually matters. Done with debt is one of the best I've seen it. Navigating debt relief twenty twenty five was a record year. They enrolled over one hundred and two million dollars in debt for our listeners and others. Here's why I'm telling you about this now, though according to the Federal Reserve's latest survey, many banks have tightened their standards. Right now maybe the best window to negotiate settlements before lenders tightened further. Done with debt tracks credit card and loan company behavior. This is what they know. They're experienced at knowing who is negotiating and when and what it takes to get you the biggest reduction possible, and whether you're carrying ten thousand or five hundred thousand dollars in debt, this is probably the best chance you'll get all year.
00:10:58
Speaker 1: Done with that our legendary negators. When you go ahead to head with your credit card and loan companies, they have one goal to drastically reduce or eliminate your debt altogether. Most clients see more money in their pocket month one.
00:11:10
Speaker 4: Do not wait for the lenders to tighten up their policies. Here's what you need to do. Schedule a free consultation. There's no pressure and it only takes a few minutes. Share who you owe and they'll tell you if this is the moment you could see a major reduction in your debt. Imagine waking up without that weight on your shoulders and doing it without taking out another loan or filing for bankruptcy. Done with debt helps you through the debt relief process, so you keep more of your paycheck every month. Go to done with debt dot com right now, that's done with debt dot com. So we're talking about the Virginia example and what it portends for the rest of the country, which is very worrisome because I do think that what we are facing as a country at the state level, federal level, is a reaction to the ear of Trump, and it will be vicious. It will be fierce, it will be unrelenting, it will be cruel, and it will be maximalist. It will be maximally Marxist, far left everything in the kitchen sink that they have been dreaming about to dismantle the Western I think world order, but the American system of capitalism, of meritocracy, of excellence.
00:12:21
Speaker 3: They want to put.
00:12:22
Speaker 4: A final blow that will potentially make it so that we can never get back, and we have to fight that. On turning point action side, we announced just this morning that we are hiring ballot chasers in three battleground states that we are calling the red wall. That is New Hampshire, that is Nevada and Arizona. Hiring has started. Now we're going for the midterms and we're building up the wet red wall. These are three states where conservatives outnumber Democrats. Yes, there's a lot of independence. You got to think about that. These are three states that if you win, even need the blue wall anymore. You don't need Michigan and Pennsylvania, you don't need Wisconsin. That is the red wall. That exactly there's the graphic. So if you go to tpaction dot com, forward slash careers, if you want to help us save this republic from this unyielding, unrelenting force of radical progressivism, radical leftism, that's what you can do. Go right now if you want to if you want to get in the field, get in the grassroots, do that right now, tpaction dot com, Forward slash Careers and it And it just seems I keep using this word blake, unrelenting. It is, you know, I think there was this misconception that maybe DEI had been defeated, that we'd reach peak.
00:13:39
Speaker 3: Woke, and that is you still see a lot of that.
00:13:41
Speaker 5: You see a lot of Frankly, there's a lot of triumphalism on the right.
00:13:47
Speaker 7: Uh.
00:13:47
Speaker 5: They very quickly default to that after an election win, and you are not. This is not a field battle. You have not vanquished them.
00:13:56
Speaker 3: Not at all.
00:13:57
Speaker 5: And even if you do, they they just come back. And it's much more of a it's a long grind. It's like a zombie horde. It's like some for it's like lava flowing towards you or something.
00:14:08
Speaker 4: Right, it is a brain rop that and it infects the left in a very collectivist, hive minded way in which they all act in lockstep. And it's interesting because our side is we are a rowdy bunch, we're independent thinkers.
00:14:22
Speaker 3: That's very very true. But just yesterday, this is what's crazy.
00:14:26
Speaker 4: You have ag Eric Holder accusing Trump administration of trying to resegregate America. You had Jim Clyburn going on the view claiming Republicans are trying to bring back slavery. And you had Pam Greer says she had to close her eyes as a kid in Ohio. You know, I have to avoid seeing blacks hung in trees.
00:14:42
Speaker 3: There's a lot of it.
00:14:43
Speaker 5: But I think the absolute wildest thing was actually the clip from Michelle Obama. Very casually it comes out and says, I try to avoid buying products from people who are from the race that I don't like, which is white people. Let's play to eighty seven.
00:15:01
Speaker 6: If I hear of someone who's fashion that I like and I know that they're a person of color, I try to make it a point. But the clothes have to be available, you know. I think we can all do some more to think about that balance in our wardrobes. You know, what does our closet look like, and who's in it? Who are we supporting in it? You know? And I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody's and so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.
00:15:37
Speaker 5: I'll confess I would have never known the race of any person who's currying me clothing item I wear, not the least because I'm sure I know the brand of any clothing item that I wear.
00:15:47
Speaker 4: And by the way, that's a group of wealthy black women sitting around a table.
00:15:52
Speaker 5: Good moaning about how racist America is when they are in let's just be frank the country that is the best for people of African descent anywhere in the world.
00:16:01
Speaker 3: Correct period. Did you know that.
00:16:05
Speaker 4: African American test scores in America are higher than they are in Africa?
00:16:10
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and other countries with a large amount the Caribbean, Brazil, so on.
00:16:15
Speaker 4: They are higher here than any other country. And by the way, that's true for Hispanics. Hispanic Americans have higher test scores than just about any other country in the world. That's the same for Asian Americans. It's safe for like Hong Kong, Hong Kong. I guess Hong Kong's city, Hong Kong Kong. Yeah, it's sort of its own thing. But I think there's like one standout.
00:16:34
Speaker 5: We're a very talented country that gets a lot out of all the people who live here.
00:16:39
Speaker 4: Yes, and yet yesterday became a rallying point for them to bemoan, criticize, and delegitimize America.
00:16:47
Speaker 3: It's funny.
00:16:48
Speaker 4: It's funny why that is? Where do you think this on a day should originate?
00:16:52
Speaker 5: On a day where it's a holiday to celebrate a famous black America That America was so racist that it gave an entire day to a black American That is a day that has become a rallying point to Pomona America.
00:17:08
Speaker 3: Make it make sense. I just found it really affecse.
00:17:11
Speaker 5: And then it didn't let them then a bash America enough, so we had to create another holiday in June to try to outcompete the fourth of July.
00:17:17
Speaker 4: Right, So that's how that's how ridiculous it's all become. It's all become a parody of itself. And I just have to play this Pamgrea clip really quick because it's so annoying to me.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: Two sixty nine.
00:17:27
Speaker 6: You face a lot of racism growing up in Columbus, Ohio.
00:17:32
Speaker 8: How did that shape you?
00:17:35
Speaker 7: Well, we would go from you know, tree shade to shade to get back to the apartment, my brother and I my mom with bags, and my mom would go, don't look, don't look, don't look. She'd pull us away. Wow, because there is someone hanging from a tree and they have a memorial for it now where you can see where people were and left, and it triggers me today.
00:18:07
Speaker 4: Pamgreor was born in nineteen forty nine, and the last lynching that was ever recorded, how it was nineteen eleven, But there really weren't that many lynches.
00:18:16
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be honest.
00:18:17
Speaker 5: Horrison, there were several thousand, but it's you know, as we well, we'll have to get.
00:18:21
Speaker 3: Into that one with martyrs. But I don't know.
00:18:23
Speaker 5: The demand for hate in America vastly outstripped supply, and it has for four decades.
00:18:28
Speaker 3: It just goes unchallenged on the view. Think about it.
00:18:33
Speaker 4: Every single dollar you spend is either supporting your values or working against them. In today's economy, where you spend your money, it really matters, and that's how we take back our country. Patriot Mobile is leading the way as America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and you can switch today without sacrificing quality or service. You'll get exceptional nationwide coverage because unlike most budget wireless providers, Patriot Mobile has access to all three three major networks.

Here's the best part When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're supporting faith, family, and freedom. You're supporting a company that supports you and supports this show, supports Turning Point USA.

Switching as simple, keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade Patriot Mobiles one hundred percent US based team will get you activated in minutes.
00:19:40
Speaker 1: Called nine seven two Patriot today, or go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Charlie, use promo code Charlie for a free month of service. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash Charlie. Or call nine seven two Patriot and make the switch today.
00:19:54
Speaker 4: Another thing that Charlie loved is the state of Kentucky and he one of his last endorsements was the great Nate Morris, who is fighting the McConnell machine, and he's doing a great job, big, huge, earth shattering sense of send a shockwave through the political world. This week, Elon musk Is has pledged ten million dollars to Nate Morris's campaign to reclaim a Senate seat for a staunch pro America America, first candidate in that state, and he's joining us now. Nate Morris, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: Oh, it's great to be with you both. Thank you for having me.
00:20:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:20:36
Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting because Nate, Charlie was really close with Elon and had a big belief in Elon. Even when Elon and Trump had a falling out, he famously now called his shot when it happened, he said, I predict Elon and President Trump are going to be having dinner by Christmas at the White House. That came true, and part of it happened at Charlie's memorial.
00:20:57
Speaker 3: Of course. He was a big believer.
00:20:59
Speaker 4: In in Elon, and now Elon has come to your side and is pledging ten million dollars to support for you, and Charlie endorsed you. So it's just kind of full circle moment for us here on the show to watch this happen. Tell us what it means and how did this transpire?
00:21:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, Elon is the great visionary of our time. I mean, we're going to be talking about Elon for hundreds of years, if not thousands of years, and what he's done for humanity and we had a terrific meeting. I think he was very animated by the way that we've been contrasting against Mitch McConnell his record, And obviously Elon appreciated my entrepreneurial and business background. And I don't think he's a fan of career politicians. And he knows that we've got to get change in Washington, and we got to get so tough, particularly on immigration. And I think these were the things that.
00:21:52
Speaker 4: Sorry to interrupt, Nate, I just have a I'm very curious about this because one of my favorite parts of your platform is that you're calling for an immigration moratorium. I think if we get ten fifteen guys in the Senate on our side and we maintain control, this is actually something that really could be done. We just have to get this critical mass in and Blake and I have talked about it. It's like the switch, the one switch that fixes so much that is ailing incredbly switch to fix that off the flood. Yeah, if we get this one issue right, you got to get voter ID, same day voting. All that stuff's really important. A lot of guys are working on the safe fact. But I'm curious because Elon in the past. I remember this clip during the Biden you know, flood of immigrants. He went down to visit the border himself and he was appalled, but he made this comment saying like, well, I still want all this legal immigration. I just want to cut off all this stuff. This is crazy. But you and I are more hardline than this. And I'm curious how that conversation with Elon went.
00:22:49
Speaker 9: You know, I think Elon, you know, he talked about Western civilization in our meeting, and I think that this is a fight for Western civilization.
00:22:57
Speaker 2: And we have been.
00:22:58
Speaker 9: Ingesting people from the Third World, people from all over the world that wish to do us harm. And Andrew, you know, we can't bring in people that wish to do us harm and think that we're going to get a good result. And we you know, look at this Somali situation. I mean, what an absolute and utter disgrace. And they have been ripping us off. They've been taking advantage of America's compassionate system. They come over here illegally, they get on our roles, and Democrats love it because they know this is the only way that they're going to win elections is they've got to flood us with all this illegal population so they can change the composite of our country to God and win elections. And I think Elon gets that, and I think our immigration moratorium, this has got to happen to save the country. And that's why I've been so forceful. And Andrew, you may remember a lot of people said, oh, this is an extreme position. You know, this is a too hard, right, this is too far. Let me tell you this is a moderate position today. This is an absolute moderate position. Given what's happened in our country. Is that this should have been done a long long time ago. And just because we're America doesn't mean we have to let everybody in our country. And it is a pleasure, it is a privilege. It is the absolute greatest honor in the world to be an American citizen, and we can't give that out. Like Marty Gralbeats, I mean, this has been crazy.
00:24:15
Speaker 2: What we've done.
00:24:16
Speaker 9: And all these Democrats and all these Rhino Republicans who have allowed this nonsense to go on, they should be ashamed of themselves for letting our country get into the place that it's in today.
00:24:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it, I completely agree, and Blake, I would love for you to expound on this, But there is something that happens to a people where you flood the country with foreigners, and then it becomes an erasure of our own civilization, of our own culture, and you stop having kids, fertility rates drop, the sense of ownership, become a.
00:24:50
Speaker 5: Defeated people, And there are examples of that in history where it's just when a culture it loses its vitality, it loses its sense of the future, and it just sort of falls apart.
00:25:00
Speaker 4: It's because you don't look around and see that this is your culture anymore, that you control it, that you own it, that you have your own agency over the future of its direction, because it's sort of you feel like a foreigner in your own home. And there's something I think weird. And you've seen this in historical models as well. When you hit about fourteen fifteen percent foreign born or immigrant of the total population. You saw this in like the nineteen twenties early twenties when they instituted massive immigration reforms. Then something happens, you know, and I think people have to reclaim a sense of American identity, of American culture, and agency over the future of their country. I think that's what's happening here, and I think at a deeper level, MAGA is this sort of cry to regain and reconstitute an American identity that is like what we remember growing up, like what we had when we were kids. And so I mean, I'm just I'm thrilled that Elon got behind you in this way, and I want you to reflect on kind of some of these stances that you know that you have. But what we're seeing in Minnesota as well, which I believe is an exit to existential challenge to the Trump administration about the legitimacy of federal law. Can you weigh in on what's happening in Many Minneapolis, Minnesota more broadly.
00:26:16
Speaker 9: Yeah, And it's not surprising. I mean you have people like Tim Walls and that mayor that Fry guy. I mean, you have those people in charge there. I mean, what do you expect to get. I mean, these people they have just let these folks run rough, shot over them in Minnesota, take advantage of them, get on the system, milk the system commit all this fraud and did nothing about it. And the Democrats put this guy in their ticket. I mean, can you believe that? And they had to know this stuff was going on. I mean, it's so blatantly obvious. And Andrew, I think that when we when we get into the particulars of this, we're going to find all throughout the country that all these migrant populations that have come into places like California, Texas, Florida, you name it, even here in Kentucky, there's fraud underneath every bit of that.
00:27:00
Speaker 2: And this has been a scam.
00:27:02
Speaker 9: The Democrats and people have been running to not only flood our system with changing population, but also to get rich and to have these get rich schemes. I mean, gosh, I mean, look at this daycare system. I mean, what an absolute and utter disgrace. Millions of dollars to start a daycare when we got people in Kentucky that are trying to bust it, trying to make a living, trying to put food on the table and can't even buy groceries, and we got Somalis up there getting rich off the daycare system. I mean, what is wrong with this picture? And this stuff's got to stop once and for all.
00:27:36
Speaker 2: You know.
00:27:36
Speaker 9: I just talked to my buddy James Comber the other day and he said, Nate, he said, we're going to haul him before oversight, he said, and you're gonna find this is going to be the greatest fraud in the history of America.
00:27:46
Speaker 2: And I believe it.
00:27:46
Speaker 9: And I'm so glad that President Trump is gonna get tough and make sure all these people are held accountable.
00:27:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nate, it really is. It's just I think the idiom that Charlie would use. It's like a America is just treated like a giant pile of money to be looted, like oh, like you bust it into the treasury of Babylon and just grab your pile of gold before it's all gone.
00:28:11
Speaker 3: And it's that we give all of that away.
00:28:13
Speaker 5: We give away the wealth of our country, and we give away our citizenship, the right to be here. That's the entire idea with the moratorium. It's that we treat American citizenship like it's worth nothing. And if we really believe America is great, surely we should treat it like it as valuable. Foreigners clearly recognize that it's valuable.
00:28:31
Speaker 4: It's interesting because even at like Amfest, our big events, right, and we would love to give those tickets away for free. It's not about the money, it isn't we want to create these rallying points. But we found is if you don't charge anything, people take it for granted, they don't show up, they don't take it seriously. You have to charge something. And the same concept could be applied to citizenship. When you make it so cheap and so easy and so flimsy, people degrade it, They spit on it, they desecrate it, and we have to make it expensive again. We have to make it pressure again. You know, there's not really question in there, Nate, but I but I'd love for you to respond to that and tell us give us a sense of where your race is at now, what is changing, because you've been slowly building in the polls this whole time against a really formidable opponent. It's not Mitch McConnell, but it's the machine that he's left that he's leaving in that state.
00:29:20
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Andrew, I'll just first say, everybody listening here, we all need to take a look at what's happened in Europe. You know, if you want to get a preview for what the play that the Democrats are running, look what's happened to the United Kingdom. I mean, my dear friend, Vice President J. D Vance said that the UK will be the first nation it's Islamic with a nuclear weapon in the next decade.
00:29:42
Speaker 2: Now think about that.
00:29:43
Speaker 9: Now, all this stuff that's happening over in Europe, this stuff is all coming here. And this is the same playbook that was run over there so the Brits could lose their country. It's coming here to the United States in a big way. And that's why we've got to get so so tough. And it's shameful what's happened to Europe. Cannot let that happen here in the United States. You know, as far as this race goes. You know, I'm an outsider. I'm a business guy. I've never run for office before. You know, I came in. I started out unknown to the voters of Kentucky because I've never been in politics.
00:30:15
Speaker 2: By two opponents, they've made careers out of politics.
00:30:19
Speaker 9: You know, somebody like Andy Barr has almost been in politics for two decades. And we were up against the McConnell machine, and they were doing everything that they can to make sure that mcconnald's cronies, his lobbyists, his infrastructure, that they've got a horse to ride for another forty years.
00:30:37
Speaker 3: Yep.
00:30:37
Speaker 2: And this is what this race is all about.
00:30:39
Speaker 9: And Charlie saw that, he ye, he saw the infrastructure that we were going to be up against.
00:30:44
Speaker 4: Well, and we know, yeah, We're watching closely, Nate, and we got your back one hundred percent.
00:30:48
Speaker 3: We'll have you on again soon. We'll talk to you soon.
00:30:51
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, great to be with you, guys.
00:30:55
Speaker 8: This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner of Wyrefi. It's been an honor and a privileged to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us. His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now Here, Charlie, in his own words, tell you about why Refi.
00:31:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you guys about why refight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com. Y Refi is incredible private student loan debt in America told us about three hundred billion dollars. Y refy is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to yrefight dot com. That is why refight dot com. Do you have a co borrower? Why ref i can get them released from the loan. You can skip a payment up to twelve times without penalty. It may not be available in all fifty states. Go to yrefight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com. Let's face it, if you have distress or default the student loans, it can be overwhelming because of privacuit loan debt. So many people feel stuck. Go to y refight dot com. That is y R e f y dot com private student loan debt will leaf wyrefi dot com.
00:32:03
Speaker 4: We're gonna take take our eyes and we're gonna turn our attention to what's happening at Davos.
00:32:10
Speaker 3: Now.
00:32:10
Speaker 4: There is a very very interesting thing that we are watching happen, a phenomena, and there's multiple pieces to this thread that you could pull right and you you will, you will get to something that's happening. So basically, you've got the Greenland contention that's happening. Denmark's not happy with US NATO is you know, some of our NATO partners are not happy with the pressure campaign that Trump is pushing to acquire Greenland. So then all these Davos leaders go over there and they're kind of saying, hey, we love you the United States, but what you're doing is wrong. We made a deal. You can't add you can't add new tariffs on top of a deal that was already made. And then you've got guys like my cron.
00:32:56
Speaker 5: Who are messaging him behind the scenes. And then it's not behind the scenes.
00:32:59
Speaker 4: Well, but then he goes he's wearing sunglasses for some reason. I don't understand this, but let's play this clip. It's a little hard to understand because of his accent, but we'll break it down on the other side two ninety.
00:33:08
Speaker 10: China is welcome, but what we need is more Chinese feig and diyte investments in Europe in some key sectos to contribute to our growth, to confer some technologies and not just to explore towards Europe. Some devices or produces or products which sometimes don't have the same sounddoards, or are much more subsidized as the one being produced in Europe.
00:33:32
Speaker 4: So you pair this with what's happening in Canada. So you've got Carnie that basically goes travels over to the CCP rolls, they roll out the red carpet form Brave New Era, New World Order. China is being welcomed in by the same actors that Trump is challenging. So Trump is shaken up everything, and now they're basically trying to fight back and say, well, we've had enough of the tariffs, we've had enough of the bowling, we've had enough of the Greenland stuff. So you've got Carney welcome in the CCP. Then you got French President mccron and i'll translate he said China is welcome, and he's asking instead of just exports that have different standards, lower standards and are subsidized from China, we want you to invest in Europe. That's a huge thing to invite direct foreign direct investments in Europe.
00:34:24
Speaker 5: With the Greenland thing. An argument that's been made in support of it is basically saying Europe are they're vassals of the United States, They're just clients of the United States, and Europe is they are actually quite aware that they've they've put themselves in a bad spot. They've underinvested in their military for a long time, They've messed up their own industry, industry and manufacturing Germany case, they've really screwed things up, and they actually aren't kind of aware of this. They were very aware of it during trade negotiations, and they kind of recognize they're in a weak position here. But one thing that they can point out is they can say, Okay, we are basically vassals of the United States, but we could in fact go be vassals of somebody else and use that as our way to come back. And I think I think it is worth thinking about that that in the end, we are stronger than Europe, and Europe has been a free rider on this, and our goal needs to be I think two and this is mentioned in our own in President Trump's National Security strategy that came out a few months ago. The goal needs to be that Europe has to take more responsibility for itself, that we want to recultivate Europe as a viable as more of an ally rather than just a free loader. And that's important for any number of reasons. We talk about Islamization of the West so often on the show because it does matter, It really does matter to all of us. If Britain, the birthplace of all the liberties that we care about, the birthplace ultimately the mother country of this one if it becomes this Islamic dump, and it matters the same way if France goes that way, if Germany goes that way, if Denmark.
00:36:01
Speaker 3: Goes that way.
00:36:02
Speaker 5: And what we want is we want them to be robust. We want them to have real militaries, we want them to have to not be having replacement migration. We want them to have real economies because we do. Ultimately, even if they're annoyingly liberal in a lot of ways, we'd prefer to work with them. I think over China like a completely alien culture, a completely alien mode of government, one that is far more hostile to human freedom, one that is far more hostile to religion and Christianity, hostile to America, and that has a lot of grievances with us. And I just think we should be aware of that, and we have to think about that with Canada as well. Greenland really is important to our national security, but it's also important to our national security if Canada, I think the largest economy in the America is after us. If they're suddenly just if they're deciding to align with China because they decid they're just mad at US.
00:37:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, so's here's the question. Is this saber rattling? Is this is this a warning? Is this a warning shot or do they really mean it? And I think that the truth will only bear out in the coming years. I mean, we're gonna have to watch to see. You know, if Macron really does want Chinese investment, you got to believe that every single chip, every single product will become a tool of espionage in that country, a tool of control.
00:37:27
Speaker 3: And you be careful what you.
00:37:29
Speaker 4: Wish for France, Canada, the UN, NATO, these these people, they are cruel masters. The China will be cruel masters, and they will extract their pound of flesh. We have been allowing Europe to freeload off of US for decades and decades. Basically, the post World War two Order is one giant story of Europe freeloading off of US. But they've been useful allies at times as well. They've also been complicit in a censorship industrial complex. They've used NATO to try and squash populous uprisings across the Western world, which is not okay. They've used I think they've lost sight of some of their original ideals, such as free speech, freedom of expression UK is ground zero for that. There are real problems in the NATO Alliance. The question is can you create something better? I think we can, but well out of can you reform it or do you have to reconstitute it entirely?
00:38:28
Speaker 5: But that's the thing.
00:38:28
Speaker 3: I think.
00:38:29
Speaker 5: One thing to worry about is America does have a lot of strengths that derive from how dominant we were for nearly a century at this point. That after World War Two, we created a financial system that centers around the United States, we created a defense system that centers around the United States, and we've created a trade system that centered around the United States. And I think if you were creating any of those things from scratch today, we would not be as powerful in that as we basically are by virtue of inertia. So if you inspire the Europeans to even if they're just throwing a temper tantrum, they go, they throw a temper tantrum, and they drift away from the dollar or drift away from trade with the United States, it will be harder to reconstitute that than it is to maintain it. That's a classic conservative principle. It's easier to maintain things than it is to build them.
00:39:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you do have to look at the post World War two order as a snapshot in time. It was a confluence of so many different variables coming together. America was largely industrialized, unscathed in many ways. On the home front, Europe had to rebuild. We had a ten year head start, maybe a fifteen year head start on the rest of the world, and it entrenched US as the economic superpower, and it would be harder to rebuild that.
00:39:48
Speaker 3: Now to reconstitute it. We will see what happens, and we will watch it closely.
