00:00:03 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. Go start at turning point you would say college chapter. Go start attning point. Yould 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. 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 2: We have a major announcement to make and a special guest as well, and here to help us make that announcement about the All American Halftime Show is none other than Kid Rock himself. Welcome to the show, mister Rock, How are you Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. We're so honored to have you, so excited to have you. And this is a major, major announcement. This is the first announcement about the All American Halftime Show. It's happening right here, right now. 00:01:37 Speaker 3: So thank you, thank you, thanks for having me. I'm excited. Man. 00:01:41 Speaker 2: Well, exactly you gave and we just put it all out on social So this is just happening as we speak. And I read your quote and I told your team I thought this was just absolutely amazing, So I'm gonna read it. This just went on on the press release that just hit the wires. Says we're approaching this show like David and Gali. Competing with the pro football Machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible, or is it? He said he's having a dance party wearing a dress and singing in Spanish. Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America. Tell us, tell us what you mean by all that? 00:02:18 Speaker 3: Man. 00:02:19 Speaker 4: I spent some time crafting that quote I'm not sure if I can top it right. 00:02:22 Speaker 2: Now much pretty good, Vin. 00:02:25 Speaker 3: You know, it's just like it's. 00:02:26 Speaker 4: Like I said, it's like, you know, you're competing with this, you know, this powerhouse machine called the NFL. You know, in a certain way you're competing with it, and in a certain way you're not either. I think it's kind of a I'm actually drafting the op ed right now that I think I. 00:02:40 Speaker 3: Might release on Wednesday kind of how did this come to be? 00:02:43 Speaker 4: How did why did Turning Point have to have an alternative halftime to the NFL? 00:02:47 Speaker 3: And I think it's you know, to sumbing up quickly. 00:02:51 Speaker 4: It kind of goes back to what Taylor shared and figured out, you know, years back, that you know, half this country's just underserved entertainment wise, and was just really so many of us got tired of just, you know, having Hollywood tell us how things are gonna be, and hearing all their political discs and that, and trying to you know, shove shove their agendas and the trans thing and everything down our throats, and it's like, you know, I guess we're just gonna have to have our own stuff right now. 00:03:14 Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right, and you're gonna be joined by Brantley, Gilbert, Lee, Brice, Gabby Barrett, and you are gonna be the the headline here Kid Rock performing at the All American halftime show. So for those you know, what's what was great about this? By the way, so I've been kind of seeing some of the behind the scenes here, and originally we listed all the artists in the press release and you know this, this would be a Grammy and we just hit the Grammys an hour one, which is ironic, but the you know, because they're all anti Ice or whatever. But so we send this over to your team and we get this note back. It's like, you know, Bob does not want to be associated he you know, here's what you could say, and it was like, okay, you know, so we said Global Superstar and waffle House Legend Award Winner, and like that is it. So we stripped any reference of the Grammys and all your awards next to Kid Rock and we instead we have waffle House Legend Award Winner and I just thought that is so perfect. That is like exactly who we need headlining this made for TV concert. And you know, it's like, this is the thing. I agree with you It's kind of a David and goliathing. I love that framing because like, this is a machine we're going up against, right, but really, but really, it's the American people have been underserved and they've got this big arena. There's there's big stadium, and it's gonna be far away, and it's it's gonna be the cameras are gonna be a mile away from the action. This is gonna be intimate and exciting, high octane, high energy, and it's gonna be made for TV. 00:04:43 Speaker 5: It's just a totally. 00:04:45 Speaker 2: Different experience than what you're gonna get from the other guys. And you know, you can say what you want to say, have to call up the other guys and you know that other guy. But I just think that what what we're offering is so unique and you're gonna you are the perfect person for this. U. I couldn't I couldn't be more excited. 00:05:02 Speaker 4: You go into these things, you know, there's I'm very good friends with Lee Bryce, with Brandley. Gilbert's a good friend. I do not know Gabby. I love I love her music, But you kind of wonder what's everyone else doing, because I, you know, I go into these things I've really I really spend a lot of time and after putting something together and it's going to be something very familiar, and then I'm going to do a complete one eighty on people and I'm kind of excited about that. And then Lee Bryce sent me something that he's. 00:05:27 Speaker 3: Going to do on there. I was like, wow, that is powerful and that's good, and it. 00:05:30 Speaker 4: Was so happy for me just to hear that, to know that that what we're gonna do is go out there. Uh, what a crazy concept and just trying to play some great music for people who love this country. 00:05:42 Speaker 3: It's that simple. 00:05:43 Speaker 4: That's that's the only way we kind of, you know, take care of our audience. I guess you could called maybe get a win. I'm not sure who our competition is. I mean I saw some of the Grammy's last night, kind of had some people here, so we're talking in between, but it was on in the background. I was like, one point, I just go wow, this is like literally a gathering for people with the woke mind virus. You just look around the room and you're like, wow, man, this is terrible. 00:06:08 Speaker 2: Totally. I couldn't. I mean, honestly, it feels like you you can't even imagine what media they're consuming, what lies they're listening to. There's they're anti ice, they're anti law enforcement that you know, and they you can feel this like this virtue signaling just constantly with them. They think that they really are doing something good, and really what they're doing is they're they're destroying so much of the of what makes this country safe and good, the institutions that keep us safe. 00:06:34 Speaker 4: And then meanwhile it literally feels like and I read this book and it was this doctor and she's kind of explaining the generation and like going through mental illness and stuff is like it's literally come to be like if you don't have some sort of a mental illness or claim to have when at some level or something's wrong, woe is me. 00:06:52 Speaker 3: Everything's bad. You kind of feel left out of. 00:06:54 Speaker 4: This elite you know, Hollywood elite group. It's just it's just sad to see some of these people. I mean, I look at that poor Billie Eilish, like just look at her, like she looks like literally sad, that's unhappy with with everything in life. 00:07:09 Speaker 3: I'm like, that's gotta be horrible. 00:07:10 Speaker 4: Like I know, you want to look you might want to look into Jesus girl. 00:07:14 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Well, and speaking of which we're I mean, we're gonna have there's elements of faith, there's gonna be country music, rock music, there's all of this stuff is gonna combine into this, this one beautiful concert. And I don't want to give too much away, but it's gonna be all over turning points social so our turning point YouTube x rumble. Of course we'll probably throw it up on on on some other social media accounts that we can't that we control. Daily Wire Plus TBN right here in Real America's Voice is gonna be covering it. We love the guys over at Real America's Voice, so thank you Parker and Rob for covering that. Uh O A N n TD. And then it's gonna be on Sinclair as well. So there are lots of places you can check it out. You can see it on the graphic there. But if you're if you're watching the Big Game and you do, I don't want to be fed a bunch of woke garbage or worry that the guy is gonna come out in address or celebrate like the Queer Agenda. You just want something that the family can enjoy, but it's gonna be excellent and like high octane entertainment, that's what we need to do. 00:08:12 Speaker 3: This is where you can go absolutely. Man, God bless you guys. We're putting this together. 00:08:17 Speaker 4: When I first heard, you know, you guys just kind of announced it and said, yeah, turning points, gonna do an alternate halftime, Like, oh yeah. 00:08:23 Speaker 5: Right, I'm excited. I'm excited today too. Because people would always ask me and I said, I kind of actually didn't know what was going on. They were very they were very tight lipped about the organization of this, I will say, but we wanted just to get people hyped up. So one of the guests we have performing, Lee Brice, he did a tribute to Charlie a few months ago and just kind of give people, if they're not familiar with the artists and impression of what they're about to hear. Let's play three hundred. 00:08:47 Speaker 6: And usually we do a couple of other songs, but tonight I liked it to play a song and it to Charlie Kirk and well he uh what he so adamantly stood for, you know, And I don't want to see a picture of this country. 00:09:15 Speaker 2: Without God in it. 00:09:16 Speaker 6: You know, and and it seems like every day is trying harder and harder to do that. And I but I got faith today and gonna go it that way. 00:09:25 Speaker 5: And the song he ended up playing was Kingdom Come, When Kingdom Comes? 00:09:29 Speaker 2: Yeah? Amen? And and could you speak to kind of the faith element of this too. It's it's not gonna be like necessarily a worship set or anything, but I just I know that's important to you as well. And are you planning on integrating any of that into your set now? 00:09:44 Speaker 4: I would love to tell people what I'm doing, and I think that the element of surprise is really what's gonna make it special because no one's gonna be expecting this one eighty that I'm gonna do. 00:09:53 Speaker 3: It's it's I'm. 00:09:54 Speaker 4: Trying to make it as unselfish as possible, but at the same time, just play something great. I'm like, there's nothing you know that we can do that I can do, and I trust me, I'm going to come out and hit them with the kid rock like boom bang the whole, but that's going to stop very quickly, and I'm going to take it back to music because one thing I know for sure, no matter what bad Bunny does what the NFL is doing. 00:10:17 Speaker 3: Nothing. Nothing is more powerful than a good song. Nothing. 00:10:21 Speaker 4: So if you just stick to playing good songs, that's the wind right there. And of course, I mean there's an aspect of there's a very aspect of. 00:10:30 Speaker 3: Faith in this song that I'm going to do. It's not my song. 00:10:33 Speaker 4: I'll tell people that it's not a song I wrote, but I did write a verse for it, which is very, very faith based. 00:10:40 Speaker 2: I love it. I don't know what else you can say here, but I know that you've got a lot going on right now. You've got different announcements you can make. Is there anything else you can tell us about your plans for the next couple of weeks months, any other releases that you want our audience to know about. 00:10:57 Speaker 4: Well, you know, funny enough, we're going to release the song that I'm gonna perform, uh for the turning point, you know, uh, all American halftime. So we're gonna release it at midnight that night after the super Bowl, and then we're gonna go out and do I think we're making an announcement this Friday. We're gonna do some shows this year, not a ton. I think it's maybe ten or so awesome. So we're gonna I think it's called the Freedom two point fifty Tour, and it's kind of we're gonna announce that on Friday, and that's gonna kind of lead to this huge thing that we're gonna do in July third in a stadium, which is going to be I'm looking at like, I know everyone's gonna celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday July fourth. I want to put together the biggest party for America on the eve of July third, kind of like New Year's Eve, you know, ring a liberty bellance, shoot cannon some fireworks off, and play some music for folks. So well, an of ton of new music on the way, very very cool special guests. I think people are gonna be widely, wildly happy and surprised at the same time. 00:11:57 Speaker 2: I love that. So everybody, you have a mission, you need to tune into the All American halftime show. Uh, you know when the other guys are doing their their sort of queer celebration whatever, speaking Spanish, whatever you want to do, that's fine, but we're gonna be celebrating this country. It's the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of this country, Faith, Family, and Freedom with an absolute packed lineup of Kid Rock obviously, and we've got Brantley, Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett. An amazing show. And then your second mission after you tune in is to take kid Rock's new song and make it number one across all the charts at midnight after the Super Bowl, So please do that.

You know what I mean. I know it scares a lot of people in my business. 00:13:02 Speaker 2: Let's put it, oh man, that's a whole story for another day. But I mean, when you're going up against the machine, it's it's a machine, so God bless you, sir. 00:13:12 Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of people in my position. 00:13:14 Speaker 4: There's there's a lot of big acts that are very scared of that machine. 00:13:19 Speaker 2: I do know, and I eventually there'll be a time to tell that story, but right now we're just gonna focus on all this good energy, and you're a big part of that. Thank you, kid, Rock God bless you. 00:13:29 Speaker 3: Thank you guys. 00:13:33 Speaker 2: Every day Americans make choices that shape our country's future, right down to which cell phone provider we support.

Nick. 00:17:07 Speaker 2: I'm sorry about the confusion. 00:17:09 Speaker 5: I was quite all right. 00:17:10 Speaker 2: I'm happy to be here. 00:17:11 Speaker 8: Go again. 00:17:11 Speaker 2: We have So we just announced the All American Halftime Show, and we have another major announcement. Nick, you run the high school field program. So all the new Club America chapters that have been launched, like thousands of them, you are playing point. You have. You are probably the busiest man in Turning Point history at this point, minus Charlie of course. But like, give us the announcesis a major new announcement. It's part of a series of major new announcements. That's right, gentlemen. 00:17:36 Speaker 8: So on Wednesday, we are announcing a partnership with the state of Montana. Governor g and Forte is going to announce an initiative to put a Club America chapter in every high school in the state of Montana. Oh, we've seen this in states like Florida and Texas and Tennessee. Montana is joining the movement. I hope to see this kickoff a lot more states through twenty twenty six. 00:18:01 Speaker 2: Join with us. This is happening on Wednesday, that's correct, Wednesdays. So we're gonna do a big, big like kind of event announcing this more formally with the governor in Monte So you're flying up to Montana. I am, you got a trip to Montana. It's terrible. Well, actually in the winter, I guess. I hope you get a ski trip in or something. But yeah, a little colder than Phoenix, but that's awesome. And in Indiana do we have it is India, that's right. 00:18:23 Speaker 8: Alex Clark made the announcement. We do have an event coming in the state of Indiana. Governor Brown is joining. 00:18:29 Speaker 2: In this amazing and I'm not allowed to disclose yet, but there is another state potentially as well that's joining. 00:18:36 Speaker 8: You don't have to say many more states that are going to join the Club America cause. 00:18:41 Speaker 2: So do you hear this? 00:18:43 Speaker 1: This? 00:18:43 Speaker 2: This is this is major. So on the same day that we cover on this show anti ice walkouts in Tucson, in La Portland, Chicago, New York City, there is a movement that is happening across the country, sparked by Charlie and help facilitate by amazing people on the team like Nick, where we are getting whole states to back the Club America movement. It is a movement now and we're closing on on like four thousand high school chapters where I mean, we're still sorting through this deluge of inquiries that came in after Charlie's assassination. Give us an update on that. 00:19:25 Speaker 8: Yeah, So we have over thirty two hundred Calubed America chapters nationwide. And really what these states are doing is essentially standing behind our students and their right to assemble, their right to fight, to support patriotism and support their country. You have students that are bullied and intimidating for starting Club America chapters. Schools that try to deny their chapters try to delay the approval of their chapters to be able to operate as any other school like a chess club or you know, whatever it is. And so these state leaders are saying that's not okay. These students support patriotism, they support the Constitution, and they should have the right to do that, just as any other student who wants to start an extracurricular club at their high school. 00:20:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and we have. We have literally there's all these clubs get together and they go, let's walk out of school on Friday and protest ice. This is why it's important to have a Club America chapter on campus that says, no, we're not going to do that, actually, and we love this country. We support law enforcement. And what you need when you're a kid in high school is you need other like minded kids to have your back. You need a core group of people that will support one another. And that's why it's so important. And maybe just give the audience at home, because we got actually a couple questions about this in our AMM Friday. What does a Club America chapter do? 00:20:54 Speaker 8: M h It's the go to place if you want to be a future patriotic leader, if you love your country, if you believed in what Charlie believed in, if you want to stand out and make a difference, if you want to learn how to have a respectful debate and dialogue, if you want to work with community leaders and civic leaders. Club America is the place to be if you want to be the next Charlie, if you want to be the next president of the United States, and you're a young person in high school wondering how do I make a difference at this age? Join Club America. It's the starting point for your journey to become that active model citizen. 00:21:32 Speaker 2: I love that. And so you guys do community outreach, you voter edge, you have host speakers, you do community things, yes, and so it's just you're also, by the way, which should not be understated here, you're connected to a larger movement which is turning Point USA. So the students get invited to the national events, get you get potential grants to host speakers at your in your local community, maybe on campus or off campus, right, I mean correct, There's all kinds of options that open up before you if you join a Club America chapter. And this is what's so crazy. All these schools have like you know, LGBTQ and your queer rights stuff and you know, but but we run into all the problems. It's Club America that, as often you know, gets gets challenged. That's why these are so important to have states. Governor Gianforte in this whole state of Montana, it's gonna have our back. So if you're a kid that wants to start a club in Montana, you now have the red carpet out in front of you. 00:22:30 Speaker 8: That's right, no one's gonna stop you. 00:22:32 Speaker 2: That's amazing. More states coming too. You're doing great work, Nick, Thank you, blessed you man, thanks for having me. Lots of big announcements. The All American Halftime Show is been announced. The details have been announced. We have a massive, massive, powerhouse of a lineup. You can check out more at American Halftime Show dot com American Halftime Show dot com. But of course the big announcement is that we've got kid Rock Brandley, Gilbert Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett, all with huge number one songs. You're gonna recognize all of them. You sing along good for the whole family, faith, family, freedom, if you love America, you just want to have a good time. It's gonna be great, made for TV. It's gonna be intimate, that's the thing. The cameras are like a mile away in those stadiums. This is gonna be intimate. And then of course Nick Coca with our field team on the Club American side. Another statewide partnership, this one in Montana with Governor Jane Fourte, massive, massive, Blake throwing. 00:23:31 Speaker 5: It to you. This is alrighty, Yeah, we've got a friend of mine I used to know way back when I was at the Daily Caller, which was a decade ago at this point, but Luke Rosiak and he's now a reporter, an investigated reporter at the Daily Wire. 00:23:43 Speaker 9: Are you there, Luke, I'm there, Blake, so great to connect with you again. 00:23:47 Speaker 5: Awesome, awesome, good to see you. This is this is the legend he helped blow up in the loud And this story. 00:23:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I know of Luke because the Louden Counties, which was obviously you you delivered a governorship with that one. Luke. It was a huge, huge story. Yes, I mean I still use them. 00:24:05 Speaker 5: You're a series you did more than a decade ago on the DC subway system is one of my favorites for how DEI blows everything up and how it really works. But we've recently on this show, Luke, we've been talking a lot about the eight A program, a lot of the ways the government does extremely inefficient or wasteful or discriminatory contracting, waste a ton of your money, gives a ton of your money to scammers. And I saw this story you did at the end of last week and it made me laugh really hard, and I just thought we should have Luke on to explain this because it's so illustrative of how things really work. The headline for everyone is how the military gave a homeless, lesbians minority contracting firm nineteen million dollars. Luke, how about you tell this story for our audience. 00:24:49 Speaker 9: Sure, so eight A contracting, I'm so glad you guys have been talking about it a lot. It gives no big contracts if you're a women owned or a minority owned firm. And the issue is a lot of times they're not even doing the work, they're just passing it through. And so this is a woman who had she had like a rock band, actually a pretty decent band, and she was just like living inter van going on tour with her bandmate, who was also her her wife, I guess. And so they decided to incorporate a company and they got that SBA designation to be a Minority disadvantaged business. And it's funny actually because she's a woman. She's a woman, but she's a double victim because she also had one grandparent from Spain, So that's Hispanic. 00:25:30 Speaker 5: You know, you could be a descendant of. 00:25:33 Speaker 9: Christopher Columbus and you'd be a Hispanic victim under the eight A program and our government would give you preference. 00:25:39 Speaker 5: So she she had one grandparent from Spain, and so they said, you are a disadvantaged Hispanic who should get as legal preferences from the government. 00:25:48 Speaker 2: Did her sexuality come into play here as well? I'm just curious. 00:25:52 Speaker 9: No, just women owned. But she's super feminist. And so she got this contract and making uniforms of the military, but she didn't own a factory or anything. She had no ability to make all this. So first of all, the contract was for New Balance clothes, so there's really only one place you can buy them, is a New Balance. But because the government wants to get the small business set asides and the minority set asides, they'll oftentimes do these contracts where the government is basically and this is what I testified to the Senate about eight a last month, and so I tried to say, it's not all about individual scamming the government. The government kind of knows that some of this stuff is going on. So they knew that somebody was just gonna you know, pass it through New Balance or pay New Balance for a license and then wind up sewing it theirselves and creating some weird New Balanced knockoffs. But anyway, this woman didn't have the ability to stitch anything herself. So I talked to a guy, a white male who actually was in the garment industry, and he said that she, you know, was living in her car and said, look, I got this contract. Could you know, like how I could actually do the contract? And he said, well, you know, I can do it for you. So he did all the work and at one point he realized that she was kind of lying to the government and pretending it was her factory, and he did a foya to get the contract, which said, you know, you're not supposed to be doing this, and so at that point she started retaliating against him. She cast a curse on him. She's like a witch, I guess, and like all kinds of crazy stuff started going down, and she wound up suing, you know, one of the people doing all the work for her because she felt like they were kind of She actually had a contract that laid the whole path through scheme out in black and white, which usually people are smart enough not to do it. It's like, I am going to broker you this contract. Don't talk to the military, pretend that I'm doing it for you, and she had them sign it. So anyway, in the course of the lawsuit, it really backfired and she wound up going out of business because she had to pay the attorney's fees for her pawns, her tokens. 00:27:54 Speaker 5: That's that's good news, of course, But at the same time, they never really they were never declared like, oh this is a bad contract. They were never ruled in bad standing. No one ever got prosecuted or sued by the government for this, correct. 00:28:09 Speaker 9: Right, I mean, it was only her own incompetence that causes it to collapse. The contract actually had a ceiling of seventy two million dollars and so by the time she kind of screwed it up, it was nineteen million had been paid out. But yeah, you know, I asked her for comment, and she sent me ten emails calling me an evil Jew and talking about evil war profiteers and saying that I had demonic mail energy and that mails are too warlike. And it's like, well, lady, you're the one who got nineteen million dollars from the Department of War, and I think they kind of want warlike energy there, and you certainly she's profited more off the military industrial complex than I have. But it's just a crazy way I mean this. In this case, it was just closed like training uniforms that the Marine Corps would use, But we could be talking about weapons here and they're buying things and there's like there's no chain of custody for where this stuff is actually coming from. It could just be like crazy people who are totally on qualif making some of this stuff. And that's kind of one of the real perils of eight A. 00:29:05 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so ludicous. I want to get this quote because it's in the article that she she told you she is quote starting a coalition for women to run the planet peace and light and love. Like the Orca whales raise the frequency of the planet mail energy is heavy and warlike and long overdue for a reduction. And yeah, it's we have these programs. It's such it's just it's such a I love this story because it's such a perfect illustration of the travesty that, oh, we want to give a leg up to these minority, these disadvantaged firms, and yet it's the exact. It's really just you're paying this like feudal due to somebody. She's just there's no real business, there's no real work. It's entirely just this payoff so that other people can do the work, but they get paid less than they would otherwise. 00:29:52 Speaker 2: And well, and it's you think about we started translating how much money is getting wasted in terms of how many life lifetimes of average Americans taxes. You know that we're being just wasted on complete garbage like this. So it's just you imagine how many Americans had to pay taxes last year or whenever this contract went out that just went to some you know, washed up you know, female band member in a van that is blaming the Jews for global slavery or something like. You think, let's just say that that was that was one hundred tax you know, year receipts for Americans, So one hundred people paid their taxes last year, so that this burnout in a van who used to be in a band could could do a pastor expense to new balance. Like it's just absolutely insane. When you get to that point and you think about Nick Shirley would do the same things. He would say. I just you think about all the people that are getting defrauded. It's taxpayers were the ones getting defrauded with this. It's infuriating, Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you about my friends over at y Refi. You've probably been hearing me talk about y Refi for some time now. We are all in with these guys. If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default. You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why ref I will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay. They tailor each loan individually. They can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back. We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt. Many of them don't even know how much they owe. Why ref I can help. Just go to y refi dot com. That's the letter why then refi dot com. And remember y Refi doesn't care what your credit score is. Just go to yrefi dot com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. Yeah. 00:31:56 Speaker 5: But so Luke another story. You get a lot of this, and so I wanted to flag another of your stories that tell the story of the CFO of the African Development Foundation. 00:32:05 Speaker 9: Of course, so I did a really long series and sort of magazine style story back in May about this agency that's sort of like the little brother of USAID, and it's supposed to give money to Africa. But I proved that they were doing exactly what people kind of speculated that USA might be doing, which is they were giving grants to Africa, but then they had secret deals with the Africans that the money would come back to America, some of it in straight up bribes. But also just like kind of paying bureaucrats in DC to do their work, so they were essentially hiding it from Congress and making it look like it was actually donations to poor people. So the African Development Foundation, even the one of the board members, he was the head of the you know herbal life that it's like a pyramid scheme that pushes like nutrition supplements, was the head. He was on the board as government agency, and so they tried to push this for profit pyramid scheme on African peasants so that his company could make more money. 00:33:01 Speaker 4: You know. 00:33:01 Speaker 9: There were allegations of all kinds of racial stuff where the general counsel they hired actually they accidentally hired a white guy to be their top lawyer, and he was like, well, you guys are just violating the law. Like here's all these laws you're breaking. You're just like hiding all this money. Like the stuff you're doing is insane. And so they wind up wound up pushing him out and like calling the police on him. Just really corrupt stuff that gave the sense that like they were all in on hiding some really bad things. And so this week the CFO actually pleaded guilty to something that I had said in my story, which is he was taking bribes from this particular company which was in Africa, but it was created by an African American. I guess you could say he was a form of federal employee who moved over to Africa, and he was still friends with the guy at this agency, so he gave him a contract and some of it went back to him, and then the rest was used to kind of to keep to enrich his friend, and then also to pay bills, including bureaucrats who were living in DC would get this random like wire of money coming from Africa. So the Foreign a was just sort of this pass throughs and so he bleeded guilty and then the Senate voted, had a vote to abolish it over the weekend, but actually eleven Republicans voted against abolishing this agency. They voted to table the amendment that was brought by Mike Lee. And this is people like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and stuff like that, And so US eight has gone. This agency is way more corrupt. Granted it's a lot smaller, but it's like it's quite a story. I mean, it's just wild. The stuff that they were doing, but we had eleven Republicans, you know, vote against actually abolishing it. 00:34:39 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just yeah, you're correct, it does at least smaller, but yeah, it's And you're a government efficiency reporter. One minute here, just can you give a general perspective how what's the scale of how this is going on, and how should Americans think about this? Just I know, obviously we've had this push on government efficiency. We found a little bit of it, but the sense I get is just there's this absolute feeding frenzy, and if you're not in one of these preferred groups, you're just kind of left out and treated as a sucker. 00:35:10 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:35:10 Speaker 9: I mean, certainly we were told when Doge was making inroads that the Doge was pointless because so much of the spending is in mandatory, non discretionary spending like medicaid and defense. But it turns out that medicaid and defense are super fraud ridden. And I think that a lot of it hides behind privacy, but once you actually see it with your eyes, it's like this is just blatantly scamming and the government is just paying out in a way that charity would never do that because it's just clear that it's not even it's not even helping anybody. But if we can't even get rid of an agency who's CFO admitted that he was corrupt, and they've blocked Doughs from coming in, and it wasn't because they had this moral high ground, it was because they're hiding their crimes. If we can't even get rid of ad A, which the Alaskan Republican Senators are against that because the Eskimos are in on the grift or the people that pretend to me Eskimos, I don't know what we're doing here. 00:36:06 Speaker 5: Yeah, Luke Roseiak, thank you very much. Check him out on x at the Daily Wire or check his book Race to the Bottom online. Thank you for joining us. 00:36:14 Speaker 2: Thanks guys, it's been an eventful Monday. I feel like this show has flown by. I've had a great time, and I have to say that the having Kid Rock on the show was like checking a box off my you know, we we actually had tried with Charlie a while back and it just didn't work out for whatever reason. He was at our inauguration, you know, an inaugural eve ball or whatever, so I got to got to meet Bob there Bob Ritchie Detroit hip hop scene. Now he's headlining our our super Bowl. I did it. Our all American halftimes, unrelated vas are just our big sports yay sports halftime. Yeah for the All American people. Anyways, we're excited. I don't know, this was a great, great time. And then to see another state step up and support our Club America chapters is huge Montana, thank you, Governor. 00:37:08 Speaker 5: G and Forte, Texas, Florida. 00:37:11 Speaker 2: Tennessee, Indiana, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Louisiana. Maybe I think, I think I don't want to leave anyone out anyways, And there's more coming. That's the other that's the other piece of this. And so you know, when you get depressed about all those student walkouts and the brainwashing that's happening, just remember there is a whole counter movement going on and turning points playing a huge role in that. And so we're just grateful for the partnerships and we have we have more news being made that will happen this afternoon. We've got Dan Patrick in from Texas. It gonna be great. We'll see him in just a bit and we'll we'll have we we're gonna have to pre record because he's here today, but we might show it on the show tomorrow. Uh so, some more fun stuff happening there, but today and this will be a good final segment for the show. Today. 00:37:57 Speaker 5: Today marksman ten year anniversary. 00:38:01 Speaker 2: Do we have that anniversary yet, guys? 00:38:02 Speaker 5: Otherwise I'll have to like no, no, wait. 00:38:04 Speaker 2: Till they get it. But this is an auspicious anniversary. 00:38:09 Speaker 5: Inauspicious anniversary. It's it's crazy. I will say I've got a fillibuster a bit while they get it ready, Like we're reaching these ten year anniversaries for so many Donald Trump related things. It's a little crazy for me to think that a good third of my conscious life has been with Donald Trump. It's yeah, the Trump era and how everything has just revolved around him since he came onto the city, not you know, just everything even when he's not in office. That's what everyone's talking about. That's what the press is most obsessed with. And it's almost easy to forget what it was like when he was still this insurgent candidate that we were going into the twenty sixteen election. And of all things, the big favorite was George W. Bush's brother Jeb Bush and George W. Bush's administration did not end well. He had record low approval ratings by the time he was leaving. Other than like Nixon during Watergate, he got us into multiple quagmire wars. And yet they were going to trot out this guy to run and they say, oh, that's gonna be our nominee in twenty sixteen. And what happened over and over again is he just he was not adroit enough to handle President Trump. And today, ten years ago, I think was the day where I and many other people realized, like Donald Trump is going to win the nomination and he might win the presidency. 00:39:32 Speaker 2: After that, it is please clap day. This, this is the police clap Day. Was a turning point in American history. Pun intended very very intentional. And what's interesting about this it was the death knell, unbeknownst to many. But you said, you picked it up, you could feel it in the ether. But it was the death of the neocons. The GOP had been dominated by warmongers, the in vade the world, invite the world crowd. And who is more I guess symbolically important in that than the Bush dynasty. Right, You've got two invasions of iraq An invasion of Afghanistan. You know, two wars that lasted on and on and on, cost trillions of dollars, countless American lives, countless Iraqi lives and Afghani lives. I mean these are this is a really important moment in history. So please take it away. Shows the clip Blake alrighty. 00:40:27 Speaker 5: And so we have. This was the week before the New Hampshire primary. And I believe Donald Trump didn't win the Iowa caucus. Correct, he lost it, And so is this New Hampshire primary a week out. Jeb Bush has a lot of money, he's been doing all this and then he's speaking to a small crowd in New Hampshire and this happens clip three oh four and. 00:40:48 Speaker 7: Up is creating a more dangerous world. So here's my pledge to you. I will be a commander in chief that will have the back of the military. I won't trash talk. I won't be a ider in chief or an agitator in chief. I won't be out there blowharden talking a big, big game without backing it up. I think the next president needs to be a lot quieter, but send a signal that were prepared to act in the national security interests of this country to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world. 00:41:18 Speaker 2: Please clap, please clap, And with that that's more painful, actually that I remember. 00:41:27 Speaker 5: Clap and at that thought, low energy, jet, low energy, jet, low energy. You know it's ironic. Later back, just real quick. A week later, on the ninth, Donald Trump. He won thirty five percent of the vote in New Hampshire. He beat John Kasich. Remember that guy beat him by twenty That guy got second. John Casi just basically a Democrat basically, and that was the first primary he won. He won a bunch of them after that, and his history the rest is history. 00:41:55 Speaker 2: What a history ten years. You know, it's funny you think about these kids walking out of high school right now, they're eighteen. They've basically the majority of their life has been dominated by President Trump. Even when Joe Biden was president, it was still dominated by President Trump. Their whole political conscious lives have been dominated by We have. 00:42:12 Speaker 5: We have staffers on the show who are young enough that they only faintly remember Barack Obama getting elected, which is really uncomfortable for me because I've voted in that election. 00:42:22 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I totally agree. Yeah, the that's a wild stat you know. And actually I was looking at uh, some of these there's a basketball player that he was the youngest person to score forty nine points. It was an SNL clip that was going viral because he's a white guy, and it goes in the SNL guy there's black goes this is a really bad start to Black History Month because you have this like nineteen year old white guy scoring forty nine points in the NBA. Anyways, I was looking at his birthday and it was like, yeah, he was like two thousand and six, and that was the first thought I had. I was like, he was not born with he has no memory. Wasn't even alive when nine to eleven happened. 00:42:57 Speaker 5: Yeah, far away, that's really gen Z. That's how the most the easiest way to remember what gen Z is is they don't remember nine to eleven. It's like nineteen ninety eight. If you're three, you still don't really remember those things. 00:43:08 Speaker 2: It's just yeah, it's it's wild. Anyways, So this is a it's been a big day here, It's been a big ten years for the country. And there's no doomerism allowed. On The Charlie Kirk Show, there's no none of that. It's illiterative with one of the people on the show's name. Even with black Pill Blake, black Pale Blake is not even allowed to black pill and you do. You do a pretty darn good job most of the time. I do my very proud of it. 00:43:34 Speaker 5: I do my best. You try and be Charlie was also very good at that. Charlie, certainly you and I both know he could feel down a lot of the time, and it was always internally, says no black Pilling. He would find the upside, he would find the way to learn, he would find the way to move forward, because that was that was your duty. 00:43:51 Speaker 2: Your duty was not to whine. Your duty was not to grouse. 00:43:53 Speaker 5: Your duty was to learn and to fight and hopefully win. But the winning wasn't the point. Doing your duty was the point. You don't fight because you know you're gonna win. You fight because it's the right thing to do. That's why we do things like the All American Halftime Show. That's why Club America is spreading all across the country to get high schoolers and gen ziers. We don't even remember nine to eleven, but now they remember Jeb Bush because We just told them about it. 00:44:20 Speaker 2: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com
