Blake, Blake is there with my mic flag and I. 00:01:29 Speaker 4: And I shall always have it. 00:01:31 Speaker 2: How we doing, Blake? 00:01:32 Speaker 4: I might, I might move mic flag over to my microphone. You'd be powerless to stop me. 00:01:35 Speaker 2: I that's not true. Kabooz has my back. President Trump had his big speech last night, primetime address which was obviously not covered by the fake news media that caused a stir. NBCABCCNN all refused to cover it. In it, he alleged that the Chinese had been medaling in our elections, pointing back to twenty twenty that they have secure voter files for over two hundred and twenty million Americans, including a revelation that almost three hundred thousand non citizens are registered to vote, and that the intel community has intentionally subverted the President, not informing him they were massaging Intel reports bearing the lead and much much more. I figured, rather than just go through it clip by clip, I wanted to bring in somebody that's been studying this very closely. And that's Breonna Lyman, elections correspondent for the Federalists. Brianna, Welcome to the Charlie Kirkshaw. Thank you for making some time for us this morning. This is what you cover, this is your beat. Boil it down here, distill it for us. What were to you the biggest takeaways of last night that our audience needs to know. 00:02:49 Speaker 5: Yeah, and thank you so much for having me. I think the overall takeaway is that, despite what the left may say, the twenty twenty election is not beyond reproach and concern. And I go back back to John Radcliffe when he was at the d and I back in January of twenty twenty one. He put out a statement and he had said that he had concerns that the intelligence community was essentially downplaying or politicizing their investigations into whether China influenced the twenty twenty election. And I think everything we're seeing in the past twenty four hours actually validates what John Radcliffe had said five years ago. So we did see that apparently the intelligence community was trying to hide from the sitting president intelligence indicating that China did have some attempt to influence the election visa VI social media campaigns. There was also report suggesting China may have looked at the twenty sixteen election, identified states and sectors that supported President Trump and would then use their own leverage to try and basically cripple those entities so that they couldn't help President Trump in the twenty twenty election. Those are all things that are extremely cause for concern. We saw other to classified material indicating that the same items that the intelligence community said in the twenty twenty one report didn't show China trying to influence elections, mainly social media operations, are the same things that the intelligence community then said in twenty twenty three did contribute to China influencing the twenty twenty two midterms. So there's that politicization that we're talking about. 00:04:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the politicization is a huge issue here, and the fact that China seems to be intentionally poking at vulnerabilities in the American cultural and political system, including trying to stoke racial animis and discord, and also working with journalists that were anti Trump journalists to write additional anti Trump stories. So it's sort of an attack from multiple vectors. Now I've seen there's some controversy or disagreement about their access to these two hundred and twenty million voter files. Some are saying you could pay a small fee and get these files at the state level in some states. Break that part down for us, Brianna, is how worried should we be that they have these voter files. I know that there's some concern about troops and where they're stationed and where they're voting. That to me is very relevant, But how accessible are these voter files and how nefarious should we consider it that China has access to two hundred and twenty million of them? 00:05:25 Speaker 6: Yeah? 00:05:25 Speaker 5: Well, one of the reports talked about just how China, Russia, Iran, and even North Korea had access or could possibly gain access to our election systems themselves. Right, but they are vulnerable to some kind of nefarious actions. So I don't think it's beyond the panel to say how secure our election systems, the machines we use, and also how secure our registrations and our voter files. And I remember these can't be too hard to get to because you have to have local and state officials who can access them because they are the ones conducting and carrying out elections on the day to day basis during election season, right, So it's not a unreasonable that China or another foreign actor could possibly gain access to these and you would think that this would be a watershed moment, Right, This is something that should be very apolitical and objective. There is a chance for foreign election interference. They can possibly access very important data. What can Republicans and Democrats do to stop it? And instead, the response you're seeing to the clips you guys played in the beginning from Newsom and Corey Booker is Donald Trump is a conspiracy theorist. And so it's concerning because these are the same people who told us that foreign election interference was so bad that we had to impeach Donald Trump. And yet now when they're given actual evidence of foreign election interference or the potential for it, they're pretending like it doesn't exist. 00:06:43 Speaker 2: Well, this is a great point you're making, Brianna. The fact of the matter is all of these people are on record having expressed concerns about the vulnerabilities in our own electoral system. And I can play clips of this, right you have. Here's Obama in twenty eighteen, as a matter of fact, talking about hacking elections. So okay, Top twenty. 00:07:05 Speaker 7: Closing up to Russia, what happened to the Republican Party. The threat to our democracy doesn't just come from Donald Trump or the current bachelor of Republicans in Congress, or the Koch brothers and their lobbyists, or too much compromise from Democrats or Russian hacking. The biggest threat to our democracy is indifference. 00:07:31 Speaker 2: So he mentions it. Here's Nancy Pelosi, as a matter of fact, peddling the idea that Republicans are going to be the ones that hack voting machines. St. Nineteen. 00:07:41 Speaker 8: We always have concerns, but with this president and these Republicans who have no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way, we're ready. There's so many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether it's litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all that. But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count. 00:08:20 Speaker 2: Oh create a false count through the technology, So this seems to be something that they're very aware of. I've seen clips in the past of Kamala Harris going through walking through election facilities talking about hacking vulnerabilities from foreign actors. But all of a sudden, this is disinformation and President Trump is trying to undermine the confidence in our electoral system. Please explain that to me. 00:08:43 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think the reason they're running with that line that Trump is trying to undermine our trust in the election system is because they want to try and cast a shadow of doubt on any legitimate things that one President Trump may bring up. Also, let's remember there were legitimate concerns in twenty twenty, specifically in place like Georgia. And if President Trump is able to prove with the declassifications that there is evidence that there may have been some problems in the twenty twenty election that we should absolutely rectify going forward, it would lead people to say, maybe we should take a look back at some other things that had been dismissed by the Democrats and by the propaganda press. So I do think they're concerned about that. I also think that they have to realize that the intelligence community lost any shred of credibility it had back in twenty twenty when they're the same people who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, and now apparently they're the same people that were actually trying to hide information from the President in twenty twenty about China influence. 00:09:43 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about an issue so many Americans face, and that's health insurance. There's an organization I really really appreciate called Christian Healthcare Ministries. CHM is a faith based alternative to health insurance. And this is real stuff, folks like you've gotta listen in. With HM, you're not paying into a company's profit margin. You're investing in a community with less overhead than the competition. You get reliable support through the giving and prayer of fellow members. Members contribute every month to help pay for each other's medical bills, allowing believers to afford the care they need. Because they're not insurance, you get access to your preferred doctor or hospital without network restrictions. You heard that right. If you want to see massive savings in your healthcare budget, CHM has four low cost programs for every stage of life, starting at just one hundred and fifteen dollars a month plus. You can enroll or switch your program at any time. See why so many believers are taking a leap of faith. Start today by visiting cchministries dot org slash Charlie and use promo code Charlie for a fifty percent credit towards your first month. That's Schministries dot org slash Charlie and use promo code Charlie. 00:10:58 Speaker 4: So we want to of course keep this facing forward. President Trump is very concerned with twenty twenty understandably, but he is the president. Now we are in twenty twenty six, and I think you and I all would agree what matters most is where do we go from here? And so I think first of all, we should just highlight he President Trump passed the ball to Mark wayn Mullen. We associate him, of course with deportations, but he's also been giving a portfolio for the homeland security aspect of our elections, and he was describing this morning the number of non citizens who have gotten onto our voting roles in just a handful of states. Let's play clip twenty nine. 00:11:37 Speaker 9: We've identified two hundred and fifty thousand non citizens redshirt to vote and just four states. We also worked with Proactive States to identify twenty eight thousand non citizens on their voter roles, plus four hundred thousand individuals that are still registered to vote that are deceased. 00:12:04 Speaker 2: So that's in four states. 00:12:06 Speaker 4: Just in four states, and even if those are large states, you calculated that out, that's almost certainly going to mean several million people illegally registered to vote. If they vote, it's not going to automatically flag anything as improper. What's the takeaway from this, Brianna? What does this mean for our country that this is possible to have happened. 00:12:28 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:12:28 Speaker 5: I mean if this isn't enough to convince some of those Republicans who refuse to get on board with the Save America Act to get on board, I don't know what will. And I think what people have to remember with non citizen voting, it's very easy for a non citizen to register to vote intentionally or even accidentally. Right, the only thing standing between a non citizen and our freefare elections is a little square box like this big really this fig that says you wo attest under penalty of perjury that you were telling the truth about your citizenship status. So it's a very truthless law. And I just did a report in New Jersey a few weeks ago, where there are non citizens writing into their county election clerk saying, I didn't even know I was registered. I would like to be removed because otherwise I won't be able to apply for citizenship. And so one of the problems is because of the way Congress works, people can get registered at the DMV, and people who may not speak English proficiently may accidentally register to vote, and because they're not prompted to prove that they are a citizen, they may just very well not know that they can register to vote. Of course, you could have nefarious actors as well, and so this should be that impetus that Republicans and even Democrats need to see that our elections are not secure from foreign election interference. Non citizens registered to vote and possibly voting is foreign election interference. 00:13:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a great point. So you've got nefarious actions of China and others meddling directly in our election. They're sending fake IDs to people trying to get them registered. But we have a more central, fixable problem, which is that non citizens, whether or not they know it that they're doing so or not, are registered to vote in this country. Now we have proof in four states, four states of at least two hundred and fifty thousand foreigners that are registered to vote. Okay, that's one aspect, of course, say let's pass the Save America Act. But there's a whole other aspect, which is this deep state which seems to be intentionally obvious, skating or concealing this intel from the president. Let's place top seventeen. 00:14:28 Speaker 10: Another official inside the FBI wrote that she was running quote a shadow government unquote to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known and to keep it away from the honorable press. Other officials who witnessed such efforts perceive the motivations to be blatantly political. 00:14:51 Speaker 2: I think this seems like treason, Brianna. 00:14:53 Speaker 4: I think he said elsewhere in the speech too, that they have the CIA presidential daily Briefings and they're being information away from the President about China trying to influence the election. I think specifically because their research said they're trying to move the election towards Joe Biden. And I guess we compare that with what we saw in twenty sixteen, where they allegedly had evidence that Russia was moving it towards Trump, and so they just started a massive investigation of the Trump campaign. I just feel there's a huge divergence there that's very revealing about how they behave in the permanent part of Washington. 00:15:31 Speaker 5: Yeah, and the fact that they said they were massaging those daily presidential briefings again to water down the information they gave to the president is concerning. And for some reason, people still want Americans to believe that they should have full trust in our intelligence community, but they have shredded any ounce of credibility starting in twenty sixteen with the Russia collusion hoax, to the Hunter Biden laptop, and now to all of this declassified information. And so I think that when President Trump says that he wants to kind of clean out house and you have all those left this, detractors say that Donald Trump is upbending society as we know it. Donald Trump is doing something that the founders probably would have really respected, which is taking power away from unelected officials who are actively working against the president. Right, if you're concealing information about foreign threats from the president, you're working against the president and the country. So I hope to see that President Trump has his administration cracked down on people who did take these actions just conceal. They should be fired if they're still employed. If anyone did anything illegal, there needs to be investigations into that. So hopefully this is the first step toward the accountability we've been waiting to see for a decade. 00:16:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's keep our facts here straight, by the way, because the left loses their brain is about this stuff. I mean, they just went completely fully insane about this. Let's just play one clip here just for fun. This is the left losing their brain, all right. There's so many to choose from. I want to make sure I get the right one. How about this Saudi team. 00:16:57 Speaker 11: He's claiming that China was able to get access to voter registration information about millions of Americans, hundreds of millions of Americans. What we don't yet know is whether they were able to do anything with that information. There is no evidence that they were again able to change the outcome of vote. 00:17:16 Speaker 2: So that's ABC that was willing to talk about how safe and effective the vaccine was. That Hunter bad Biden's laptop was actually rushing disinformation, that Joe Biden was at the top of his game, that Kamala Harris was nominated and a fully democratic pot process BLM riots were mostly peaceful. And here he is telling you we're not going to air the president's speech. And by the way, there's nothing to see here at all. Brionna Lyman, thank you so much for joining us. For nearly three thousand years, Homer's the Odyssey has shaped Western imagination. It tells the story of Odysseus as he faces monsters, shipwrecks, false comforts, and impossible choices on his long journey home. As one of the foundational works of Western ure, Homer's epic is more than a mythology. It explores permanent questions about courage, duty, loyalty, family, leadership, temptation, and the search for home. In one of the epics defining moments, Odysseus rejects the offer of immortality from the goddess Calypso, choosing instead the long and difficult journey home. His decision reveals one of the central themes of the Odyssey that a life of duty, family, and home is greater than a life devoted to comfort or glory. Achilles chose glory, Odysseus chose home. That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, The Odyssey, taught by Professor Benedict Whalen. The course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature. Find this free course at Charlie for Hillsdale dot com. It's Charlie for Hillsdale dot com.

There he is, there's the man, the myth, the legend himself. Here's here's what I want people to understand. People don't. People probably don't fully appreciate what turning point action is doing and what a massive difference turning point action has made in this primary season. So I'm going to do this for you, Tyler, because you're the man who's orchestrating so much of this. But think about this. We got Biggs, Andy Biggs. The primary is on Tuesday. The polls have them up anywhere between thirty and fifty points. I mean just massive. Iowa Zachlan Joe Mitchell, the Younger Party dynamics. We're bringing young, amazing candidates to the four. We actually, you know, endorse people that other people endorsed against, and we won. All right. Put it that way, Indiana, we spoke up, we laid down the law. We got rid of all those senators, those state senators that were standing in the way of redistricting. We had a massive route that night. I have a memory that's about twenty seconds long in this country, and I want everybody to remember that Texas, we were early on Paxton, the President followed us. We're grateful for that. Paxton ran away with it and we've got us back in the general. Okay, we got a heck of a fight with taar Rico, but I like our chances there. So Tyler, all of this combined, like explain our guiding philosophy, why we're doing what we're doing, and what we're doing in the field. 00:20:25 Speaker 12: I mean, we're talking about fundamentally changing the Republican Party for the better. Andy Biggs, you mentioned first, and we'll start there because that's the big thing that we're going to cover on Tuesday. We're probably going to live stream Tuesday, and you're gonna want to pay attention because to Arizona again, for everybody that's listening at home, is the most important state for twenty twenty eight for Republicans, the most bar non important state. 00:20:48 Speaker 2: And so explain why, well, just quickly, and. 00:20:51 Speaker 12: We're going to synopsize this because we're going to talk about this a whole lot for the next two and a half years, essentially two and a quarter years. Is that if we lose air Arizona in twenty twenty eight, the statistics on winning the presidency for a Republican go way down the drain. The left has some states like this Michigan, but all the different combinations that you need to win the presidency, Arizona's a part of a vast majority of those for Republicans, especially if you start losing states like North Carolina or Georgia or some others. Right, so you have to win Arizona, and so you have to win now, Andy Biggs is the best way I can describe it for most of the country is when Ron DeSantis won Freedom Caucus Member got in, people weren't super sure he had the capability of winning. 00:21:38 Speaker 3: At the time. 00:21:39 Speaker 12: The Democrats put through everything they possibly could. He won by a very small, very small margin in twenty eighteen. 00:21:45 Speaker 4: It was like forty thousand votes or something, right. 00:21:48 Speaker 3: Which is nothing in Florida because we're talking about millions. 00:21:50 Speaker 4: Of time to a guy who has since been arrested a few times Us Ruggs. 00:21:54 Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, yeah, lots of scandals and thank goodness that Ronda Santis won. But when he won, he fundamentally transformed that state and shifted not just Florida but the entire party ideologically. And a lot of that is again thanks to the President. The President got behind Ronda Santis and he didn't have to do that, he did it and it helped Ronda Santis win. But Ronda Santis becoming governor of Florida fundamentally changed how elections happen everywhere because the Democrats abandoned that state and went other places, and the same thing could easily happen here in Arizona, another swing state, because Florida was considered a swing state at that time. Where Andy Biggs wins Freedom Caucus member fundamentally changes and then the Democrats have to rearrange. So they abandoned the state, they have to go other places, they have to try to win other places. That is what is at stake and how that impacts twenty twenty eight is if we do that, now we win. Now the Democrats have to restack the deck. They have to completely change their entire game plan. So this is really important for us strategically as a party to win in Arizona, not just for Arizonas, but for the entire country. 00:23:01 Speaker 3: You brought up a couple others. 00:23:03 Speaker 2: Well, let's stay on Arizona just for a second here, Tyler. So remember back to twenty twenty four, we were having these huge voter rege gains. We were outpacing them. I mean, Arizona has a lot of independence, but if you just look at Republican the Democrat, we we're crushing them, right, So especially in twenty twenty four, there's a lot of news on that, how have we done since November twenty twenty four on the voter edge side. 00:23:26 Speaker 3: So it's actually expanded since twenty twenty four. 00:23:29 Speaker 12: So you'll see a couple of negative news stories because the Democrats have been putting a ton of they're trying to play catch up now in the final months of voter registration head of this election, and so they've made some gains in Marikoba County. You know, Obviously, when you clean the voter rolls, you lose voters, and so if you don't replace them and go out proactively do that. Our team is out there doing it, and we're actually slowing. 00:23:54 Speaker 3: The losses, let's say, per se. 00:23:57 Speaker 12: And we saw plenty of these in twenty twenty even I had to twenty twenty two. The Democrats invested a ton into voter registration. But what didn't you know it once USAID went away, Once you know, Soros money and international money and C three's and things like that started having a lot more eyes on them. 00:24:14 Speaker 3: After the Trump administration got in, they've had a. 00:24:16 Speaker 12: Tougher time just like freely registering tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of voters across the country. So the Republicans have done a good job at registering voter since twenty twenty four, and we've expanded in almost every state. But you know, again, the Democrats are going to last minute try to squeeze in and do everything they possibly can to manipulate voter rolls and get as many people in and try to salvage as many of their voters that they kept. 00:24:46 Speaker 3: And that's important to keep an eye on. 00:24:48 Speaker 2: But we've expanded our voter reedge advantage in the state of Arizona since twenty twenty four. That's correct, bottom line. Yep, they're trying to play catch up right now. So maybe that they've had a couple of good months, but overall we're still ahead even since twenty. 00:25:02 Speaker 3: Biologue just now hundreds of thousands Ye voter. 00:25:04 Speaker 2: So great, Yeah, what is that if? Do you know the delta where it's at currently? 00:25:10 Speaker 12: Yeah, so we're just over three hundred thousand right now, more Republicans than Democrats. But keep in mind too, Arizona, like mini states North Carolina is the same as. 00:25:19 Speaker 3: This has a huge. 00:25:23 Speaker 12: Has a huge faction of independent voters, and so the independence in Arizona lean like California. 00:25:30 Speaker 3: Lean a little bit more left. 00:25:32 Speaker 12: A lot of them are early California transplants, things like that, and so you have a lot of younger people too who don't identify with the party, who lean a little bit more left. 00:25:43 Speaker 3: And so it's not a huge disparity. 00:25:45 Speaker 12: It's not one of these things where it's like, you know, Democrats have eighty percent of the independence, but you know there's Independen's a misnomer, right, So a lot of people think independent, they think, oh, that person goes back and forth between Republican Democrats. No, that's not the case. They just don't reg through the party. Most people identify as like a liberal independent or conservative independent. 00:26:03 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think even like sometimes conservative leaning independence are basically just Republican voters who they're very attached to, like I'm not a member of a party, yeah. 00:26:11 Speaker 12: Or are they view themselves as more conservative than the Republicans. Also that and so those people exist on both sides. There's slightly more left leaning. And so again, the Republicans have an advantage. They've got to chase every single Republican voter plus all of your Republican independent leaning voters in the state. 00:26:31 Speaker 2: So Tyler, just so everybody's aware, every week I get pictures sent from trainings that are going on at HQ, whether it's in Arizona HQ or if it's in Nevada. We've got a field office in Nevada now or field office New Hampshire. We're training up hundreds and hundreds of these ballot chasers in what we're calling the Red Wall as we seek you know, gains in the midterms, but also looking ahead to twenty twenty eight to make the math really really hard on Democrats. Tyler, maybe just since we're talking about Arizona, Andy Biggs, right now, focus on that. How are things going and are we ahead of where we were in twenty twenty four as far as staffing up and building that machine to get out the vote? 00:27:10 Speaker 3: Final minute, Yeah, way ahead, Andrew. 00:27:13 Speaker 12: Actually, we're in really good spot because we brought back so many of those ballot chases that we had in twenty twenty four, so we were able to start, you know, at kind of a rocket point right now, just running headstart this year, and so we've been able to get out ahead of even where we were in twenty twenty four with full time people on the ground, which this is part of the reason why you're seeing such a huge advantage in the primary here in Arizona because obviously turning points name ID and with what we call high propensity Republicans, people trust the brand. With low propensity Republicans that's who we're really working with who don't typically vote, the more we can get them about to vote in the primary, the further out ahead we get before the general. 00:27:55 Speaker 3: And we're doing that work. 00:27:57 Speaker 2: Man, I'm very proud of the work that you guys are doing Tyler. I mean genuinely, it is. People don't understand how much you're doing behind the scenes, and it's just it's tremendous. So good job. We're really proud of you. Let's talk about Iowa. Iowa is a state that you know, we're talking to Rich Barris for example, It's closer than people wanted to be. Trump's not on the ballot, but we had a huge, huge primary season there. We've you know, talk about Joe Mitchell. Let's talk about the governor's race. The floor is yours. 00:28:30 Speaker 12: Yeah, so, uh so you have a Senate race that opened up this this time, so. 00:28:40 Speaker 2: John Mitchell's Johnny Ernst, Joni Mitchell. 00:28:43 Speaker 12: Jenny Ernst stepped down, which was kind of a shocker to people. Not that old rights really not that old. 00:28:49 Speaker 3: She's she's well enough liked. I think she just kind of she. 00:28:53 Speaker 4: Had the admirable trade of hating Congress a little bit. 00:28:55 Speaker 12: Yeah, which I think is good. You know, I don't think she was the worst. I mean, he's a transition period for Iowa. Iowa kind of went from this like really a little bit bluish state to a purple state to kind of what's viewed as a red state now a little bit like a Trump state. And you know, Joni Ernzt was like, I'm out. And so Hinson, who's the you know, cute blonde congresswoman, stepped up and is running and she's well liked and she's doing. 00:29:27 Speaker 3: Pretty well in the polls. 00:29:29 Speaker 12: Joe Mitchell, who actually ran an organization that we partnered with called Rung gen Z, which focused on recruiting gen Z members of the public to run for office like mostly state legislature, city council things like that. 00:29:44 Speaker 3: I mean, he's really put in the time. 00:29:47 Speaker 12: He ended up working for the Trump administration for a little bit, doing a really tremendous job through his hat in the ring young guy, and pretty handily won his. 00:29:57 Speaker 3: Race for Congress. 00:29:58 Speaker 12: So he'll be one of the youngest members of Congress out of Iowa, which is awesome. Huge, huge fan of the president vice president, which you haven't always had that in Iowa. You've had some kind of establishment people who have kind of been a little bit anti Trump. If you remember, the governor endorsed against Trump in the primary, which it was a huge mistake. She ended up you know, kind of just kind of going into obscurity a little bit, although I think she's a good lady. But Joe is going to be kind of this up and comer that really crushes it there. That laid the foundation for what was coming, which was this governor's race. And Zach Lane through his Hat in the Ring, he's kind of known and a lot of people forget this, but he's known for throwing a tough question at Barack Obama when he was a young man. 00:30:48 Speaker 4: It was the question. 00:30:50 Speaker 12: I'm spacing on it right now, but we could pull the video of it where he kind of asked Barack Obama a tough question when he was a young young guy when he was running originally and got some notoriety from that. Has become a pretty significant business leader since that time. That was obviously, you know, fifteen twenty years ago now at this point, and through his hat in the Ring as a long shot for governor and ran probably one of the most underrated campaigns in this cycle, where he went from a not an unknown effectively business leader kind of similar to jd Vance in a lot of ways, to all of a sudden having this real shot and becoming really likable. 00:31:35 Speaker 3: And he was propped up by the whole MAHA coalition. 00:31:37 Speaker 12: So he's a big He's huge on embracing the make America Healthy Again crowd. There's a huge RFK contingency. I think that you could you could argue is in the Midwest. 00:31:49 Speaker 2: RFK is so impressive, Tyler and this guy, this guy is so impressive. 00:31:54 Speaker 3: We endorsed him. Wait he's yeah, go ahead, go ahead, Andrew. 00:31:59 Speaker 2: No, we have him on the show right after his primary win. We endorsed him. 00:32:04 Speaker 3: He won. 00:32:05 Speaker 2: I mean, he was so gracious, gave us so much credit for getting behind his campaign, and he I genuinely believe this is one of the most impressive candidates in the entire country. He's an entrepreneur, he loves Iowa. He came back to Iowa because he wants the young people to have the American dream and be able to build a life there because so many of them leave they've got the brain drain problem. It was just he hit all the right notes. The guy is just completely on point. 00:32:32 Speaker 3: He'll be one of the youngest. 00:32:34 Speaker 12: I think he will actually be the youngest governor in America on our side, at least in the Republican Party. 00:32:41 Speaker 4: Hey, you know who else was the youngest governor in America and had a bright future Bill Clinton. 00:32:46 Speaker 12: Yeah, so so Zach ahead of Zach has a huge future ahead of them. 00:32:50 Speaker 3: Right now, he's winning the polls. 00:32:52 Speaker 12: He's up against an absolute freak of a candidate, just a really weird, creepy looking guy. It's on the Democrat side there, and which we're seeing. We're seeing a lot of this. Obviously tall er Eico is another example of that. And so that's a good transition to paston. We got behind packses super early. Charlie was very fond of Kim Packs. 00:33:14 Speaker 4: Sorry I was, I just got I did that because I just looked up the photo of the Iowa Democratic looks like he looks like he came out of a UFO. 00:33:20 Speaker 3: He looks like he. 00:33:20 Speaker 12: Came out of saying a documentary for serial killers. 00:33:25 Speaker 3: I mean, he has that vibe, all right, And. 00:33:27 Speaker 2: So hold on, Tyler, Tyler, we're running out of time here, and I want to make sure we get to this. I want you to quickly touch on New Hampshire and then the action item for Arizona on Tuesday got the big primary. 00:33:38 Speaker 12: So New Hampshire we're kicking butt right now. Actually, one of the closest underwatched not watched Senate races. Right now is Johnson neunw Uh pulling only one point below the Democrat opposition that's there. H New Hampshire is about the size of a medium sized city, and so we have a real chance to pull off a Senate race in New Hampshire. The team is kicking butt on the ground. Tuesday, Arizona has this election. Andy Biggs needs to win by a huge amount of points. Because remember here in Arizona, we have a lot of snowbirds that haven't come back yet. We have a lot, so we don't want to take anything for granted. We have a lot of families on vacation right now in July, and so every person that's in Arizona or has friends or family in Arizona, you have to make a plan to vote for Tuesday. You have to get out the vote, you have to show up in person. We're expecting a huge Republican advantage on Tuesday, where Republicans just demolish the Democrats and turn out on Tuesday. We cannot take that for granted. I would like to see an advantage that's more significant than we had in twenty twenty two for the primary that would scare the living daylightside of the Democrats. I would love to see that, but the team is working incredibly hard to make sure that happens and making plans to vote across the state of Arizona. 00:34:51 Speaker 2: Tvaction dot com slash Hyle, We're going to have you soon. Yeah yeah, okay asy early. Tpaction dot com slash azy Early check it out today. Tyler Boyer, COO of Turning Point Action, Thank you, my friend. If you could go back in time and buy oil before the world relied on it, would you? Of course you would. Anybody would, So why aren't you buying silver right now? The people who recognized oil early didn't just make money, they got ahead of one of the biggest economic shifts in history, and today a similar opportunity is unfolding with silver. Silver is more than a precious metal. It's a critical resource used in solar panels, electric vehicles, defend systems AI infrastructure in the massive data centers powering that digital world. While demand keeps growing, it's still affordable enough that the average American can start accumulating it right now. That's why investors are turning to silver to protect against inflation and to own one of the world's most important strategic resources. Don't be the person who looks back in ten years and says I saw it coming, I just didn't act. Visit Noblegold Investments dot com slash kirk and learn how easy it is to own physical silver. That's Noble Gold Investment, miids dot com slash kirk own the metal. The future depends on. It's our, ask us anything our One of my favorite times of the show, and we love having your guys' questions come in. We are at the y Revive Studios. Blake's holding it down in Phoenix and he's got my Mike flag. What can I say? Uh, Danny's running point here? What's our first question? 00:36:25 Speaker 3: Uh? 00:36:26 Speaker 4: I think our first guy, first person, Anthony? Oh all right, oh Elizabeth? I think Elizabeth is who we have? Yeah, all right, here we go, all right, yeah, yep we can. 00:36:39 Speaker 3: Yes, Welcome to the show. 00:36:41 Speaker 13: Thank you so much for taking my call. Also, bar again, this would be my second reminder to Vice President jd Vance that Charlie would be a great baby name. 00:36:50 Speaker 4: Oh good point, the good point. 00:36:53 Speaker 2: I will I apologize. 00:36:56 Speaker 4: Thank you. 00:36:56 Speaker 14: So. 00:36:57 Speaker 13: The reason I was calling today is because of the fourth Bright citizenship decision through the Supreme Court. So they're saying that it's constitutional, and we'd have a hard time passing the law unless we did another constitutional amendment. But there's nothing in the Constitution that doesn't make it illegal. So if we just made it illegal for anybody and any kind of temporary visa, whether it be awaiting asylum, tourist visa, H one B visa, you can go through all of them, anybody who's your any type of temporary status if you give birth on Americans, so it's ten years in prison and up to a one million dollar fine. Also, we had to go with COVID. If you want to leave the country, you needed to have a negative COVID touch within forty eight hours. Anyone between like fourteen and maybe like fifty two would have to have a negative pregnancy test to get into the country. 00:37:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think yeah, So I think that's definitely the way to go about it. It's exactly as you say. The Supreme Court can say this is you have a constitutional right to citizenship if you're born here, but we absolutely can also say it is criminal behavior to conceal a pregnancy, to knowingly come here pregnant. Uh, there's so many ways we can go about this where we just make it very painted. We could just say, if you're a tourist or non permanent resident who has a kid here, you're on the hook for like, yeah, maybe six seven figure amount of money to you know, compensate for the cost of this new citizen you've created, and you are permanently barred from ever coming to the US or seeking family unification because so many people they get this birthright citizenship stuff, they do it, they do the birth tourism so that their citizen child can sponsor them to immigrate eighteen years from now. And if you just shut that down and say that is categorically banned, a lot of this I think would go away. 00:38:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so Elizabeth, there's actually yeah. So that here's my issue with what you said. And I love directionally where you're going, because I completely agree. My concern is that if you start asking people to do a pregnancy test, that that's going to be political untenable because we just have a lot of weaklings in Congress. And trust me, I met these people. I talked to these people, and a lot of them have no spine. Okay, so if you start making they're going to talk about medical autonomy, that it's an invasion of privacy, all this stuff. But what you can do with You've got a couple acts that are already on the on the board right. Ban Birth Tourism Act from Senator Marsha Blackburn. So it amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make aliens inadmissible if the primary purpose is giving birth for citizenship. It adds it as a deportable offense. You've got the Back Off Act, which among others, is Senator John Cordon put forward. I think he was trying to save face and win some votes. It makes birth tourism inadmissible deportable. You've got the Anchors Away Act, which is from Rep. Andy Ogles. He's come on this show to explain it. It clarifies subject to the jurisdiction thereof in statute, and it limits travel on pregnancy enhance penalties for facilitators of birth tourism. Basically, there are ways to legislate if you're coming here and having a baby, that's not okay, and we can outlaw all right. So those things should happen. But again, we've got the sixty vote threshold in the Senate. We've talked with Mike Lee extensively about the talking filibuster. You could talk about maybe adding certain things like this to a reconciliation package, but then you got to deal with the parliamentarian and you got to make it tied to the budget. Bottom line is, we're all sick of the excuses why we can't have common sense legislation when it comes to immigration and ensuring that non citizens aren't voting in our election. And we're sick of the excuses. We're sick of political failure, theater. Just get it done. These things are absolutely requisites to a functioning democracy, a representative representative democracy what we have. So they just need to get done. And the Supreme Court let us down. We got that crazy clip from Amy Cony Barrett this week where she admitted to being terrified of being a Supreme Court justice. So if that's the case and we're let down, we've got to find other workarounds. So, yes, we've got to put all of our energy into this, and we need to demand that our elected officials are pursuing these ends. 00:41:09 Speaker 4: Absolutely agree with that. All right, I think we have final questions. I think we have Anthony next. 00:41:15 Speaker 9: Hi, guys, how. 00:41:18 Speaker 2: You doing, what's going on Anthony pretty well not too much. 00:41:22 Speaker 15: Well two things, First, Blake, did you see an email I sent earlier to the email address with two photos? 00:41:29 Speaker 4: I might have missed this one. I do try to police it, but I think I'm I think I missed that one. 00:41:34 Speaker 15: Check it out because you're gonna want to see the two photos. Actually, everybody in the office may like those. So now here's my question. We all joke about Mandami and the people that are part of the DSA and how crazy they are, but does anybody understand like how much of a threat they can be, especially if they start getting into like local government, like state level, because we see in New York that half a dozen of the State Assembly and as Senate seats went to DSA members, Like, do people understand that, like it's spreading now through the state, it's not just staying like in New York City, we see it in Colorado and other states. Do people understand that, like the DSA is a huge threat or are we just like or are they just like laughing at them because we know they're crazy and it's never gonna work. 00:42:21 Speaker 4: Andrew, you'll probably have thoughts on this as well, But I think I think you're correct to point that out. I think we are badly underappreciating this. I think I think the right, if the right has a weakness, one of their weaknesses is we have an unfortunate tendency to get very smug. If the left is having a big spas out when they go abolish the police, when they really run wild in cities, we think, oh, try that in a red state. Oh you know, wait until they encounter the real world. If it's something on campus. And what we really need to recognize is any these young DSA people, they are literally taking over the party. I was just sent a book that came out from a longtime Democrat that's basically the warning of guys, our party has been taken over by lunatics. And we can laugh at that. That might bail us out this election, That might bail us out in twenty twenty eight, but twenty thirty, two thirty six, you're gonna have this party that is way more pro socialism, outright communism, if you want to use that term. They're way more radicalized across the board, and that's popular with a lot of young people. And one reason America's been so successful is we haven't had this hysterical radical communist movement in America, and I think they're going to go mainstream. They're going to run wild. They're going to do a lot of damage to this country if it's not arrested. Now, this is why we have to care so much about young people. If they just decide, oh, actually I love radical communism, we're going to be in deep trouble as the country. 00:43:55 Speaker 2: Let's just I'm gonna play this and we'll cover both sides of the rise in the debate that's happening in the Democrat side of the Aisle thirty six. 00:44:06 Speaker 14: These people are so stupid, I don't know what to say about. 00:44:10 Speaker 2: So now. 00:44:12 Speaker 14: We have this idea that these insurgent Democrats, and what is their solution is the solution to beat Republicans, to run against Republicans. No, that solution is to beate Democrats. 00:44:30 Speaker 3: Like that part of the problem. 00:44:32 Speaker 14: No, you are part of the problem because you're a idiot. 00:44:36 Speaker 2: Okay, So there there's a lot of there's a lot there. I mean, Carville is worried about the rise of DSA because he's more of an old school Democrat, but I think he represents an older, dying wing of the party. That is frankly incapable of fighting off the rise of DSA. And to Anthony's point, they are taking over lake local races. The local races are a feeder ground for national elections, and we're already seeing that where you have Chevalier who took out Goldman. This is a person that fundamentally hates America, wants the destruction of the West. This is something that she said in the past, and she's now going to be a seated member of Congress most likely. I actually think that Congress should look at ways to keep her from being seated, because I don't think you can hate the country that you claim to represent. So that's a huge thing. But yeah, I mean, people underestimate just how disaffected young people are, right, young people, If they don't have a stake in the American dream, if they don't own anything, if they don't have a mortgage, if they're not married with children, they want to burn down the system that they feel is rigged against them, all right, And this is what Charlie warned about so much. You can have a whole nation of renters, and that's exactly what you need in place to have a radicalized electorate. Okay. People that don't want the system that our founders envisioned to survive, that don't want the rule of law, that don't want a capitalist market and economy with capital that you can access and pursue the American dream and invest in different companies. They want to burn all that down, and they want to seize the means of production. They want to freeze rents so that landlords can't afford to fix the furnace when it goes out. I mean, this whole thing is a disaster, and you're already seeing an exodus out of New York City, but you're seeing these people pop up all over the country. That is where the energy is on the left, and so the choice remains clear. It's something we talk about a lot. We have Mamdaniism or we've got maga, and the road is in front of us, and we are in a race against time to make sure that our ideas can actually work, that young people can afford a home, that they can afford to get married, they can afford to have kids, that they can believe in the system as it's currently structured and situated. But at one point that I make a lot and Blake, I know you believe the same is that at a very fundamental level, there's a structural issue here. Bannon calls that the lords of easy money we have print did so much money, whether it's COVID, whether it's the Great Recession, whether it's just every year with these massive budget deficits. When you when you put more dollars into the system than there are goods, then and they don't keep up, you get inflation. We had massive inflation under Joe Biden. What that does is it makes rich people with equities, the economic incumbents. They have assets that inflate and value, and they become more and more out of reach for salary work for middle class, for class. 00:47:29 Speaker 4: I mean, we've talked about this, but I think the most impressive thing is j. D. Mance was actually talking about this, and I think he was channeling Yeah, Charlie as he did that we have this clipbrat to go, let's do thirty seven. 00:47:42 Speaker 16: We ran the experiment. We ran the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, of becoming a services and finance economy and allowing Wall Street to come in and buy every asset of modern life and turn it into an investible you know, line goes up set and what is that done. It's created a generation of kids who kind of attracted the socialism. 00:48:06 Speaker 2: You have to fix that problem. Totally agree, Totally agree. So we we we we ignore this threat at our own peril. And you know, people, I remember who was it. It was it. It was some reporter that said, let let New York find out the hard way about communism. I think that's a complete wrong way to look at this. Every inch of ground in this country is America, and it's should not be an occupying force taking over a Muslim from Uganda taking over as mayor of New York City. The amount of damage that he can do to that city, it could be irreparable. And that's that we should not stand for that. 00:48:45 Speaker 4: All right, I think we have Carol next, Carol, unmute yourself and what's your question? 00:48:51 Speaker 2: Hold on, Carol, we can hear you there. You are. 00:48:56 Speaker 6: So I was, you know, looking forward to the press car friends last night with Donald Trump. I was expecting Donald Trump to say there is a national emergency with elections. He didn't. He stopped short of that. And I mean, is that is my perception correct? And I just kind of wanted you guys to know, like, what do you think about that? Do you think he should have declared a national emergency or do you think that's going to come later, or what's your take on that? 00:49:29 Speaker 4: Ugh, Andrew, you might have your own thoughts on this. My gut feeling, I don't know that declaring a national emergency would accomplish that much. We know it would be immediately enjoined by a judge. Would that be worth trying to overrule a judge rapidly? I'm not sure. I think it would be very easy for Democrats to frame this as a as a big power grab, as him trying to They'll say he's nullifying the elections, he's trying to become a dictator. You have to think about these in political terms, and I don't know if we're in the position yet to make that political sell for what would be a challenge. 00:50:09 Speaker 2: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you about my friends over at why 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, if I doesn't care what your credit score is, just go to yrefi dot com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. So a national emergency, National emergency. You can't actually do this with elections. I think it would get overturned in the courts. Actually, you know, because elections are primarily a state in congressional matter. The National Emergency Act, the NEA doesn't grant election powers. So President Trump could do that and it would probably have some effect. Would it have the ultimate effect that we all wanted to have? Probably not, And it would get overturned in the courts, so you can't postpone or cancel elections. Courts have rejected similar measures in the past. So unfortunately, you need to do this through legislation. You need to do you need to fix our elections through legislation. So that's the key. I mean, I know they're trying everything that they possibly can, but ultimately the main thing that we need to do, and you saw this with Secretary Mullen's comments that in just four states there's over a quarter of a million illegals or non citizens on the voter rules. You need to get voter ID passed, you need to get citizenship requirement to vote passed, and we're just waiting on a majority leader soon to get the votes, get it done, do the talking filibuster, and I mean we've been loud on that repeatedly on social media on the show. 00:52:23 Speaker 4: So that's where we're at on that all. And now who's who's the next question? Well, I think we might as well. This was a writing question, but it's related to that that Joe wrote in If at this point the Save America Pact is passed, is it reasonable or possible for it to be implemented before the midterm elections at this point you might know more on this than I do. Andrew, my guess is it would be tough again because especially anything you do these days has to be laundered through six or seven Hawaii judges swoop in and say, actually, this violates everything the Framers wrote two hundred and fifty years ago. You're not allowed to do this, and so you always have that delay until the courts say, actually you're out of line. But that's my gut feeling. 00:53:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it wouldn't be in time for the midterms. So in Blake's right, there'd be court challenges and things like that. But even the states that are willing to implement it, namely red states, it wouldn't. There wouldn't be enough time to implement it, at least fully in any meaningful way. But you still got to get it passed. And the reason why we have to get it past now is we have the Senate, we have the House, we have the White House. So you do it while you have the political power to get it over the finish line. And so you know, we're in a race against the clock to get to Save America Act passed. Now, we have a lot of other good things that are in our favor. Right, the census is coming up, We're redistricting is going to move a number of states, about a dozen into our category. It doesn't matter. We cannot allow citizenship requirement to vote in our elections to go another cycle without addressing it. And the last night's press com Friends Secretary Mullen this morning certainly just underscore that. But sadly it wouldn't be in time for twenty twenty six. 00:54:07 Speaker 4: Ah that's rough, but that's how it is, and we still need to pass it because we might not out of Congress after this one. Let's go to We have another written question you might like, Andrew, which Brenda wrote in and she wants to know what inspired you to start hitting back on X more recently. I think you know of whom she is speaking of. 00:54:28 Speaker 2: Ah, well, I mean, listen, the truth is, you know, you're kind of always caught between a rock and a hard place with this stuff, right, you don't want to get in the mud with the pigs. But ultimately, when somebody's invoking your name to justify a whole myth and fantasy that has been concocted, you know at some point you have to sort of push back, and you know, I think it all worked out for the best the timing. You know, we've done everything we could possible to stay out of some of this garbage and nonsense. I know we get a lot of emails from you guys in this audience asking us to do that. But ultimately, Charlie was a guy who avoided online feuds. He avoided the infighting that is so endemic to so many people on the right. You know, the right wing mentality, Blake can appreciate this, I know, is different than the left. The left is a bunch of hive minded socialists. They act in unison and concert. They're very good at a staying unified, whether it's votes in Congress or beyond. So, but the right is a bunch of unruly self starters. They think independently, they act independently, and they're not willing. They're not afraid of brawling. Right and sometimes you can look at that from afar and think that it's messy and our side can't get its act together. Part of that is true. Part of it's just the way we're hardwired. I think it's conservatives, so, you know, but Charlie avoided that because he was building a coalition. We tried that, but ultimately enough's enough. It's every man has their break his breaking point. And you know, with the preliminary hearing coming up, it was the right time because you know, the evidence coming you know, back to support was truly an avalanche of facts, and you know, I think every reasonable person looking at the preliminary hearing understands that the state has an incredible case, and it's I mean, I wouldn't want to be the defense, put it that way. And you know, there was fundamental myths that were being told that frankly, we've known around Turning Point circles and the Charlie Kirk Show for a long time that just certainly were not true and I needed to disabuse people of those and I was grateful as soon as we started doing that, and Blake's been out front talking about this and continues to do so. It was like a whole army of people just stepped up and you know, we're going to get accused of you know, some sort of paid op or coordinated campaign. 00:56:57 Speaker 14: No. 00:56:57 Speaker 2: I think it's just a lot of people were waiting for the evidence, and they were waiting for somebody like myself to kind of rip the band aid and go for it. And then man x X responded, social media responded, and I was so grateful to see everybody's support. I think people were. 00:57:14 Speaker 3: Just we just had enough. 00:57:16 Speaker 2: So hopefully that answers your question. 00:57:18 Speaker 4: Yeah, And of course I've been chomping up the bit the whole time to shoot back. And I'm glad that I'm glad that we see so many other people really doing it. And I think you're right. I think a lot of people were waiting for the trial. The evidence was so clear, it's overwhelming. It's in the news, so they have a reason to talk about it, even if they're not around here around us, and it's been good to see. 00:57:40 Speaker 2: Well, and let me just say one other thing too, And I think and I look at social media as a series of pathogens that emerge and then the movement has to build up antibodies to them to fight back properly. Okay, So you have seen over the course of years, and by the way, some of these I defend and respect, but we've become very dis trustful of government officials, you know, official narratives, official explanations, whether that's COVID hunter, Biden's laptop, you know, Joe Biden's at the top of his game. Whatever. We've been lied to a lot, so I'm very sympathetic to people that want to distrust and be skeptical at first, but ultimately we have to build up an antibody to the conspiracy slop that's out there, and namely, you have to demand facts. What they're really good at is pushing the burden onto the accused, to defend yourself into sort of say I did nothing wrong here, and you play defense. No, no, no. When you make a reckless accusation, when you make a cruel accusation based on a whim or a vibe or some other intuition, the burden of proof is on you. You cannot burden shift to the to the accused. And I think that is a muscle that our side is getting better at and we're learning. It's like, hey, u uh huh. If you're gonna come out with some crazy thing, some crazy theory of the case that's not substantiate by any evidence, then you've got to prove it. So let's stop assuming that the person accused or smeared or maligned is somehow guilty. Now let's assume the person that's making the accusation is full of crap until proven otherwise. So that's my final thought. 00:59:14 Speaker 4: There, precisely precisely, all right, let's go to Mick. We will read mixed question related one. Alrighty uh yeah, good morning, fellas. With the information that was revealed by the President last night, does that change your opinion on the twenty twenty election. I personally do not believe it was full on stolen from the president purely through ballots, but I believe they manipulate it via censoring us on the social platforms. But I could be convinced. Would love to hear your guys takes. Andrew, you want to go first? 00:59:48 Speaker 2: You first, Blake, Ah, Well, you first. 00:59:50 Speaker 4: I think I'm I'm pretty much still in about the position I have before. I personally don't think I've ever seen super strong evidence, even last night where we saw that the Chinese seemed to have penetrated. They can hack these systems, but we still don't know if they changed votes, And I've never seen strong evidence that votes were manufactured out right, But that's always been my mentality that they were able to It was a manipulated and essentially rigged It was a legally rigged election. If you have a completely fake media environment, that's going to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop, that's going to suppress narratives about COVID. I know people hate the vaccine stuff, but I think it would have given the president a polling boost if the news had been that the vaccine had a successful trial. They suppressed that, they delayed that to get that past the election. There were so many ways they were putting their thumb on the scale throughout twenty twenty. It was stolen in ways that don't require directly manipulating ballots, if that makes sense. 01:00:54 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:00:54 Speaker 2: And the truth is is that Blake's right. I mean, when you use COVID as a predicate for you know, mass mail and voting, you relax signature verifications, You basically remove every check and balance in protection in the system. This is how you end up with twenty twenty. So to Blake's point, I think that remains in Molly Hemingway, by the way, in her great book Rigged that everybody should still read, explains this very well. I mean, this election was rigged in multiple, multiple ways in twenty twenty. And I you know, I disagree with some of this pushback that says Trump needs to look forward. I think that you are looking forward by correcting a flaw in the very fundamental way that we do elections. So I completely disregard that commentary and that critique of President Trump. We've got to fix our elections. We have to, and that is the most forward looking thing that we can do. Foreign interference is obviously unacceptable in any way, shape or form. For nearly three thousand years, Homer's the Odyssey has shaped Western imagination. It tells the story of Odysseus as he faces monsters, shipwrecks, false comforts, and impossible choices on his long journey home. As one of the foundational works of Western literature, Homer's epic is more than a mythology. It explores permanent questions about courage, duty, loyalty, family leadership, temptation, and the search for home. In one of the epic's defining moments, Odysseus rejects the offer of immortality from the goddess Calypso, choosing instead the long and difficult journey home. His decision reveals one of the central themes of the Odyssey, that a life of duty, family, and home is greater than a life devoted to comfort or glory. Achilles chose glory, Odysseus chose home. That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, The Odyssey, taught by Professor Benedict Whalen. The course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature. Find this free course at Charlie for Hillsdale dot com.

Can y'all hear me? 01:03:13 Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, we can. What's your question? Okay? 01:03:17 Speaker 17: Last week I watched hours of the preliminary hearing. I didn't watch the entire thing. I did watch all of y'all's evening coverage, though, and it was really hard. I never, obviously never met Charlie personally. I know that it was extremely hard for those that actually had to be there in that courtroom, those that did know him personally and love him. I wanted to say thank you. I don't know if they'll hear this, but I want to say thank you to Officer Tatum and Graham, Allen and Jack. I think there were some others too that actually were there in person. They didn't represent just themselves, but thousands of other Americans that would have loved to have been there in support. And also selfishly, we're glad that we didn't have to be there in person. Some of it just it was just so hard. 01:04:09 Speaker 4: I know, I'm I'm trying to be fast. 01:04:12 Speaker 17: My main thing is I just want to say God bless Charlie's family. I don't know if I'll ever get to meet Erica in person. I think she's kind of a touchy feely person though I'm not really but if I ever get to meet her, I want to just give her the biggest, tidest hug. The Lord has really showed his strength and grace through her. It is impossible for someone to be so dignified and gracious and strong like she has without the Lord's help. And I just want to reiterate that there are thousands of Americans that love and support her and all of Charlie's family and friends and pray for her every day. I pray for all of you regularly. I pray for Erica every day at ten fourteen. I saw that someone posted on social media a few weeks ago, and I thought that was a great idea, So I've tried to do that anyway. There's more I could say, but I'll get to my second little thing that's not nearly as weighty. I guess maybe a little more humorous. But you all were talking earlier this week about daylight Savings Time and how we might be stuck with it forever. Is there a way that those of us that love Standard time can dissuade those that like daylight Savings Time and maybe get it to be Standard time instead. I don't know if there's anything that we can do out here, but do you all have any suggestions for that? 01:05:28 Speaker 3: Well? 01:05:28 Speaker 4: First of all, thank you God bless you for watching as much of the hearing as you did, and of course thank you for your well wishes and your prayers for Erica. Massively appreciated. We love getting messages like that from yourself in our emails all over. Those keep coming in, and we really do genuinely love and appreciate them, as does Erica. On Daylight Savings Time and Standard time, my favorite argument is that it's God's time we went into revolt against having noon when the sun is overhead, and I feel maybe our nation has been in decline ever since we did that. The other argument, of course, is Maha stuff. I know that that Huberman guy is a big shill for standard time. I know Alex Clark is a big fan of standard time, and it's that argument that you want the sun up when you're getting up, that'll be healthier for you. You want the sun to be going down a little bit before you're going to bed, and that matches what our bodies' natural rhythms are, and it's a little unnatural for us to keep trying to extend daylight later and later into the day. That that's my take about things. I think Arizona's great the way we have it, and I wish others would get on board, and I wish they would learn to appreciate the joys of standard time. 01:06:38 Speaker 3: Well. 01:06:38 Speaker 2: I do think that it's going to be optional for states to opt in, so that's that's one thing that you should keep in mind. I think Hawaii and Arizona have it right. I'm a big Standard time believer. It's just amazing, though it is literally one of those fifty to fifty issues, you know, nobody can decide if they want daylight Saving time or standard time. 01:06:57 Speaker 4: You know. 01:06:57 Speaker 2: It's you wonder how we got into the situation where we have to switch the clocks twice a year. Well, this is why, because people can't make up their minds. And I think if daylight Savings time gets standardized across the board, people are gonna end up revolting and we're going to go back either to a switching back and forth, or we're gonna try standard time. So yeah, I agree with Blake. I think you gotta have morning sunlight. It's what starts your internal clock, and you got to have evening dark it's what it's what gets your body ready to go to sleep. So it is God's time, it's healthier, it's better for your circadian rhythm, and there's a lot of experts and reports that would would back us on that. So yes, And by the way, thank you for your prayers. Thank you so much. That means that means the world to us. And I know Erica feels the prayers of everybody. Blake and I feel the prayers of so many of you across the country that are continuing to pray for us and pray for Charlie's legacy to be carried forward. And we couldn't do without you guys. Genuinely. I've said it before, but I feel the prayers of strangers. I still do, and I still meet so many people out on the street. They stop me and they say they're praying for us, and it's amazing. It means the world. Absolutely. 01:08:04 Speaker 4: We have only a minute. We could either go long Andrew, or we could just read it real quick and answer it quick. 01:08:08 Speaker 2: What do you think, Well, I think go ahead, go ahead and read it real quick. 01:08:12 Speaker 4: All right, we have Mary, she wrote, She wrote, and we'll read it quick. What was Charlie's dating advice for young women as well as what's your advice? Well, I don't want to I don't want to presume on that, but I can repeat Charlie's. Also, I started strong cell last month and it has helped with fatigue during chemotherapy. So that's a great endorsement for strong cells. Send it over to them. I know. Charlie's advice for young women was be deliberate, be speedy. Don't think you have an infinite amount of time, because your time is running out, especially if you're a woman. You have a biological clock, and you are more appealing when you're younger, when you have a lot of years to potentially have kids in front of you. So if you're going to college, date deliberately try to find a man too, Mary. 01:08:53 Speaker 2: And don't be cruel when men ask you out and you turn him down. That just keeps people away. We learned that from some of our kids at Chapter leadership summit. Don't be cruel women, be nice to the men. 01:09:07 Speaker 4: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com.
