Hello, Charlie. I am trying out my public radio.

So, Michelle is here with me and today is her turn to ask a question. We're planning a second trip to DC next month. And last time we only had a few hours, but we did see the Lincoln Memorial, looked through the fence of the White House and visited the National Archives. But we are wondering what are your favorite places

to visit in DC and your recommendations. I'll go first and then Blake and, uh, Caleb and Michelle, if we went back to white house and maybe, maybe one, you know, one day we can show you around, around there, but, uh,

I don't have many connections right now. I'm going to cash in. You have to tell me like the West Wing. I've never actually been there. Are you serious? Yeah, I had a few friends who promised and then they would always like flay and it would be difficult. So yeah, I got to see that. I don't want to say it's no problem, but last time it was no problem. So who knows what's going to happen this way. But I imagine this time it would be. I will say first, just like one of the most amazing moments ever is like,

after like the 15th time it does you do kind of get used to it but like you walk in and by the oval and you're like that's the coolest thing ever I'm sorry it's just like the most amazing thing and like the situation room and the hour I got a look at the map Caleb Michelle I will answer and then Blake because Blake is more of a Washingtonian than I am I live there a decade and tragically did you know yeah I will say this Museum of the Bible I

I think it's a great museum. They've done a wonderful job. Did you guys visit that when you were there? Caleb, Michelle? No, we didn't go to that one. We didn't really have time that day. I would prioritize it. It's phenomenal what the Green family has done there. It is really, really special. So that is my favorite thing to visit in Washington, D.C. And then...

I'm trying to think the national archives are okay, but Blake, you are the history man. So navigate us through. There is such a glut of things to see there. Like it's, it's so tragic. It's kind of all wasted on this great font of evil, but there's so many, there's so many cool things.

I would say a lot of people know that Air and Space is good, although I think it's been getting renovated for half a decade now. I'm not sure if they finished that, but not as many people get out to there's Udvar-Hazy, I think is the name of the it's the bonus annex hangar out by Dulles International Airport that has a lot of the bigger planes. You can't really fit on the on the mall. So you can go see the Enola Gay, which dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.

I think they have one of the space shuttles there. It used to be Enterprise. I think it's now the Discovery, like an actual shuttle. They've got ICBM. So if you like aerospace technology at all, that's really cool. I can't remember if they said they'd been to the Capitol, but I think actually visiting the Capitol is underrated. There's a lot of very good kind of

civic art to it. Like I love going to the rotunda. They have the paintings of George Washington resigning his commission. There's a lot of, and every state has their statues and some of them are somewhat amusing choices for statues, I will say. So I'm very appreciative of all of that.

You can do a lot worse than just literally walk the circuit from the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the Capitol. It's a few miles, but you pass the big monuments. The World War II. World War II. Korean War. Vietnam has the wall there. I'm always a big sucker for the lesser statues that we have. Oh, we have General Grant has a statue right in front of the Capitol. It's not...

widely remembered, but it's a very beautiful statue. It's really a tour of historically what America has valued and appreciated throughout its history, especially before they started ripping a bunch of them down. But...

So I like all of that. Arlington is always worth a visit, though they are also modifying the statues that are on display there. I've never done Arlington. Never? Yeah, so you can take me to Arlington and I'll take you there. Yeah, well, you missed it. They had a, so this is controversial, they had a Confederate monument there and they took it down and they're moving it to, I think they're moving it to Newmarket where there's a Civil War battlefield there. But it's a real shame because it,

you know, objectively was a beautiful monument and it was a testament to the kind of reunification of America, which is not appreciated enough. In my opinion, there's so many countries where they have a civil war and the country never, ever gets over it. They, it happens over and over. There's recurrences. The country's just broken. And America was so fortunate that we had a civil war and the country healed after it and became, you know, a strong superpower. Um,

And I think it was a testament to that. But I guess I shouldn't be telling them to visit a thing that they actually can't visit now because Biden took it down. That is true. So there's some do that, guys. And honestly, I agree with Blake. Some of my favorite memories ever were either late at night.

or early mornings, or just if I had free time, just to kind of keep my phone in my hotel room and just walk the National Mall, walk the monuments. I think when it's clean, we objectively have a beautiful capital in our country. Would you agree? Yes. And so much... It was a capital, you know, purpose-built under a nice plan. He's a French guy, right? Yeah. Lafayette. Pierre Lafayette or something like that. And...

You can visit, if you go to Arlington, you can actually see where he's buried. He's kind of buried overlooking DC on a hill near Arlington Manor.

Yeah, it's all very lovely. An underrated Smithsonian, I should mention. I've always been a fan of the National Portrait Gallery. I would meet people there for dates sometimes. It's downtown Chinatown. It's kind of cool because it's a mixture of art with American history because it's a lot of portraits of famous Americans. They have a hall with a painting of each of the presidents. So they have that weird Obama one where he's in front of the leaf wall and it kind of looks strange, but...

And I wonder, they might have a Trump one by now. I'm not sure. Maybe we'll. Kayla, Michelle, thank you guys for being members and enjoy your time in D.C. I hope that was helpful. Okay, Abigail is next. Abigail, please unmute yourself. What's on your mind? Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

We're going to space, Charlie. I'm sorry. You are definitely unmuted. I don't know if you heard that, but you are engaging in echolocation, Abigail. So try that again. Hello? Yes, perfect. Is that better? How are you? Thank you for being a member. It's good to see you, not physically, but virtually. So yes, my name is Abigail. And my question, well, first and foremost, I am one of 12 kids. So I have...

12 other siblings, 11 of us are adopted. And thanks to your influence and Christ being your cornerstone, I am three weeks into doing courses with Hillsdale College. But my question is,

With the election fast approaching and time running out, what can conservative Christians do to ensure North Carolina, a critical swing, turns in our favor? Someone was listening. Yeah, well, first of all, Abigail, you're a great patriot. I have to ask, you have 11 brothers and sisters, and you're adopted. Is that right? I have 12 other siblings, and yes, sir, 11 of us are adopted, and I'm the third adoption. That's amazing. Yes. Well, praise God. I am a huge adoption fan. By the way, I want to meet your parents. I'm not kidding. Okay.

Abigail, if I do, they're amazing. My parents are very they're my role models, especially my mother is a homemaker. And she's such a such a good example to me and helping me with my entrepreneurship and also learning to be a homemaker at home. I love that. So I'm going to come to North Carolina a couple of times this fall because it's not where it should be.

And so message Daisy, and I want to meet you and your parents. So to answer your question, we will tell you how to download the Turning Point Action app and chase ballots. Attend our Turning Point events that we have coming up in North Carolina. Abigail, North Carolina was not on the states that we were focusing on over the summer. We were always focused on other places.

Abigail, you being in North Carolina, you could make a huge difference in saving this country. We need everybody in North Carolina to really perk up and wake up and be like, it is not safe territory right now. Right, Blake? It is not safe. I'm not saying it's danger territory, but it's like not safe. So finding new voters, getting your church involved, getting your local Christian friends and family involved, very important. And

Abigail, if your siblings are all like-minded, you have a 13-person ballot-chasing army ready to go. So...

God bless you, Abigail. Thank you. Yes. All my siblings are actually around me like like a little army here. So what part of North Carolina? We live in Youngsville and Raleigh area. Great. I will be in Raleigh sometime. I will announce it. But keep your eye on that. And I want to meet you and especially want to meet your parents who adopted 12 people. That is 12. That's amazing. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

That's pro-life in practice right there. That's really beautiful stuff. Let's go to Brandon. Brandon, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind? Good morning, Charlie. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. How are you?

Good. How are you? Great. What is on your mind? And thank you for being a member. So I was just wondering some ways that you feel closer to God. I recently started going to church again, and some issues like backlash in my classes at school have brought me closer, but I still struggle with feeling closer to God. That's a really good question. So I will tell you what works for me, and then I will tell you what

can work for others. So there are four or five known ways of how to get closer to God. The first rule is this, and I know this sounds silly. You cannot get closer to God if you are actively sinning. So if you're doing something that is against God's wishes, you're actually pushing your way away from God. I know that sounds obvious, but keep that in mind. So what works for me, I get closer to God through reading the Bible,

and quiet time and listening to Christian music. Those are three things that get me closer to God. Everybody has a different way to get closer to God.

I am not someone who engages in long and deep prayer. My prayers are usually very short and to the point. People have different giftings. Some people grow closer to God in prayer. Some people feel closer to God when they're in church. Other people like closer to God when they're doing their study time. So let me kind of list this to you to explore because it's a great question, Brandon.

Ask yourself the question when you're reading the Bible, do you feel as if you're getting closer to God? When you're listening to worship music, do you feel as if you're getting closer to God? Also, the other one is community. When you're spending time with family members or people that you love, do

Do you feel as if you're getting closer to God? And then finally, going to church. And the one that usually works the most is music. The longest book of the Bible is a book of music. It is the book of Psalms. So God built us to worship. He built us to elevate to him through singing of praise. There is no one-size-fits-all. It works differently. However, when someone says, yeah, you know, I feel closer to God when I'm playing video games. That's not...

Right. So let's not do that. It's kind of dumb. Yeah, it's kind of dumb, right? Usually it's what is pious, what is reverent, what is reflective, and then also what makes you repent. I mean, being close to God, I think that Catholics have this right in many ways. I say this with a resident Catholic here, Blake, which is that if you want to get close to God, you have to first repent of your sins because you have to be

in some sort of a holy state to get closer to God. I really believe that. Not to say that God can't come into contact with you if you aren't in that holy state, but I believe that trying to elevate yourself closer to the divine through some sort of practice of reflection and reconciliation is very important. Hope that's helpful, Brandon.

Yes, it is. Thank you very much. Right. Do you want to add anything to that, Blake? I think your answer is very good. I do like the emphasis on you should be trying to live in a righteous way. I think these days, especially, you will find people who, for lack of a better term, like they're getting involved with religion just for like a cultural aspect to it. You mean an aesthetic? Yeah, like an aesthetic one or they want community. And like those are benefits that come from it. But

If you're just there for that, you're kind of wasting your time, I think. And you're hurting other people's time because you damage a community when you're there for false reasons and dishonest reasons. If you want to get closer to God, you have to want to get closer to God, not just hang out in a cool building.

I completely agree. And again, the key, in my opinion, is knowing how broken you are and repenting for your shortcomings and your sins and then being lifted up of a God that loves you. But you have to then, in my opinion, have the humility and the honesty that you fall short of the glory of God. That's the kicker.

How great has Blake been? Everyone give like a...

Blake has been a champ this week, co-piloting. I just can't believe you do this three hours a day, five days a week. Same. In addition to everything else that I do, right? Yeah. And you run this vast organization entirely unrelated to... And then, yeah, other public speaking and have to be yelled at college kids.

We are very blessed. Blake is coming with me this weekend, by the way, Sunday night to Montana. We have a big, big, big day in Montana on Monday. I encourage all of you guys to attend Missoula with one targeted focus. It is the only really non-Trump specific stop we're doing, which is all about Tim Sheehy winning the Senate, trying to run up the score in Missoula. Well, not actually lose by less in Missoula. A bunch of Portland hippies there. OK, let's go here. Rob, Rob, thank you for being a member. What is on your mind?

Yes, hello. This may or may not be your expertise, but I'd ask anyway. I'm curious about the healthcare system. What do you think you have to do? Should we apply like a Singapore model

And I don't know if you know about it, where prices are shown and you get accounts and they actually get better results or a Nordic model, which is different. They used to be more socialist, but they changed or something else. It's curious what you think. It's a great question. I don't know much about that, but Blake knows everything. So I will hand it off. Yeah. But I will say where I my focus on health care is two things.

Whatever system can make it more transparent for the customer to know what they're buying and what they're purchasing. And number two, root causes. We are a fat country. We are a sick country. We are overweight. We are obese.

And Blake will laugh. But we're eating food we should not be eating, and we need to get our nutrition in order. We have to be more active. In my personal opinion, dealing with output on health care costs, we need to deal with the input of root causes. Blake, educate me and the audience on the Singaporean Nordic model. So I'm picking up a lot of it. I don't know it all off the top of my head. I know it is a public-private hybrid, actually, a lot like the United States hybrid.

I think a lot of that, their system involves basically private actor. I actually don't want to run my mouth because I don't know too much about Singapore is off the top of my head. I do know they have a public-private hybrid. From what I know is that primary care at government hospitals is heavily subsidized and sometimes even free, but there also is a deluxe care in private rooms. Germany has a very similar model. A lot of systems do. It's very funny because...

I know more about the U.S. system, of course, and I think with the U.S., you'll see a lot of people look enviously to Canada and look to the United Kingdom, probably because they're both English-speaking countries.

And as far as more socialized health care systems go, neither of them is particularly great. Angst about the decline of their health care systems is widespread, especially in Britain. Britain, the NHS has gotten very dysfunctional over the years in terms of overcrowding, shortage of shortage of doctors, cost overruns, all of those things.

With the U.S., I feel like the prospects of change in the U.S., the biggest problem we have is it's just such a behemoth with so many entrenched interests. It's like, how do you break that apart? And we're very allergic to any big change because...

we sort of want everyone to be a winner. And you cannot break a system as large as the United States without there being some big losers. In a lot of other countries, doctors get paid a lot less. Well, okay, so any system that lowers costs is probably going to mean doctors here get paid a lot less. But a lot of them were in a ton of debt. They went to school for an extremely long time. So how do you really ever fix all of that? I'm not sure. I feel like

I could easily imagine, you know, maybe Kamala wins or some Sanders disciple wins later and we get Medicare for all as they aspire to. And I think if we got that, people would be very disappointed in the outcome. America has a tremendous ability to spend a lot of money on problems and not really get much for it. And health care is a symptom of that as much as anything. I agree with you. I think the single most important thing is

The reason U.S. healthcare is so flawed is there is a big disconnect between obtaining a service and actually paying for it. There's not a lot of legibility about what the price of things is. And I mean, the entire concept of health insurance as we do it is pretty bizarre. Like you basically pay a flat fee for almost all healthcare you would ever receive. And after that point, you have an incentive to really get as much healthcare as you possibly can.

And it would just make a lot more sense, frankly, for most people to just be paying for these services that they're actually going to get. And it's kind of no surprise that the one part of American health care that works pretty much great is plastic surgery because most plastic surgery is not covered by insurance. It's a cash industry. So it's way cheaper, way more efficient. Very transparent. All very transparent. Yeah.

And that system works great. And if you could migrate our system towards that, it would be good. Late-sick eye surgery is very similar because it's largely elective. Now, to be clear, we have the best acute care in the world. We have some of the worst chronic care. So acute is like gunshot wound, appendix, kidney, heart attack. If you have a heart attack in most American hospitals, you have a much better chance of surviving than even most European countries.

However, chronic is a different problem. Phillip is here. Phillip, thank you for being a member. What's up? Hey, Charlie. How are you, brother? Good. How are you? Thank you for being a member. Hey, I am so glad to hear your voice getting stronger. The podcast, Blake's done a great job helping, but it's good to hear that voice getting stronger. Thank you. It has been a journey this week, but we're getting better. Praise God. Well, as my question is, as a

I'm a small business owner. We've been in business since 1977. We're a recreational vehicle dealer. So interest rates and things like that have been really tough on us. But we do have our MAGA hats out on our desk. I've got my TPUSA MAGA hat on my desk. We do our best to be as courteous as we can be to everybody. We don't want to argue and this and that.

But as I think as small business owners, we do have to let people know where we stand. And on the other part of it is I think that we do on the Christian side of it, we send up too many prayer flares. You know, we need to. I'm like you, Charlie. I pray very short to the point and move on. That's just how I'm wired. But.

I think too many of us just prayer flare it up. Hey, save Trump, do this. We have to be more, you know, more concise in what we're praying for. And do you have any suggestions on maybe how to help convince people

our customers what we know is the right thing to do in November. Sure. First, the first thing is this. When it comes to prayer flares, I love that. I'm going to use it. This is my view of prayer, which is that God listens to us, God heals us, God comforts us. And I learned this from Dennis Prager, who is a religious Jew, but to his credit, he's correct.

You should not look at God as a celestial butler who is there just to give you what you want when you want it. And I think that's exactly the right way. If you just look at God and you're like, hey, God, I need a promotion at work and I need my car to be fixed, I think that is very, very minimizing of God and it's insulting to God, to be perfectly honest. Instead, I think that our prayer and our action should be much more about what God wants from us versus what we want from God. And I think that's very, very important.

Okay. As far as Blake, do you have any wisdom to share about how he could share to his customers of how they should make the right decision in November? I'm not sure. First of all, just on the prayer thing, I do want to add a favorite prayer of mine. This is popular with Eastern Orthodox Christians. It originated with the early monastics, but it's the Jesus prayer. Just, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. And you can just repeat that. Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner. Have mercy on me, a sinner. And it's

kind of a hypnotic one so not necessarily you know repetition pairs okay and it's a good one for reminding you of like your status you know via the God yes you are a sinner who does require God's mercy not just God's you know life coach advice or like my stock portfolio to be increased exactly and now regarding the customer thing

I it's difficult because I haven't met them face to face. Usually I'd say one of the best things you can do is just by being a like good and likable person who happens to be linked with that agenda, that ideology. I think that's,

This is a sad thing to say, but I think that Joe Biden was able to benefit in 22 when he ran against MAGA Republicans, and he benefited from the perception that a lot of Trump supporters were violent. They really played up January 6th stuff, or they will play up any ugly story they can about Trump supporters. And a lot of this is defamation. I mean, obviously, all that Jussie Smollett hate crime nonsense, that's all fake.

But the way you can debunk any false narrative is by presenting a true narrative, by being a really good person yourself and tethering positive associations with yourself and with the causes you believe in. Whether that becomes more direct, no one really likes being lectured to. We've seen some major companies learn that to their dismay. And I don't know that...

If someone's on the fence that they'll really appreciate being lectured, but maybe they do. I guess I'm not a small business owner, so I'm not an expert on that relationship. Thank you so much. God bless you. I love your way about life. So God bless you, man. Thank you for being a member. Larry, thank you for being a member. What is on your mind? Members.CharlieKirk.com.

Hello, Charlie. I just want to make a comment about you were talking about the health care system. I've been in the VA since I retired. I retired like in 2014. I worked at Briggs & Stratton for 20 years. I got a pension from them.

And I've lived in Milwaukee County most of my life, except for when I was in basic training and in the Air Force and Wisconsin Air National Guard. But I noticed that since the VA has taken over after Biden got elected, it's everything text you, my regular doctor, retard and retarded.

may of this year and now they have medical assistance or whatever and that you don't even see a doctor anymore and so when i get my drugs and that they text me uh if you uh want to refill and they say yes or whatever but it's it's it's really gone downhill since the biden's administration's taken over uh

It just seems like the VA is pretty woke now. It is. And I'll tell you, the VA is a tragedy. It's a disaster. I'm not for Medicare for all, but I will say this is one of my more radical views. I think you should close the VA and give every veteran a Medicare card. Would you agree, Blake? Yeah, I mean, it's a relic of a period where we had way more veterans because we used to have, you know, it was World War II and half the men in the country that generation served.

And now, you know, being a veteran is a much more it's a smaller group of people and getting smaller all of the time. And so maintaining a giant national dedicated special subset of hospitals for them, it's a lot less efficient. And yeah, I think I agree. It would probably make more sense to just.

basically pay for them to work within our normal system which does broadly give give every vet what's called a vet card and you can go to any hospital it's paid for and then disclose that the va is like a hundred billion dollars a year now yeah and it's this monstrosity of government health care and it's slow and it's bureaucratic and it's outdated and it's a disservice to our heroes and our veterans so i think you just give every va a veteran a va card a vet card just like medicare for all and they can go anywhere

Arjun is next. Arjun, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind? Can you hear me? Hello? Yes. How are you? I'm doing great. I've been a fan of you since July. I've been watching your videos and I've been a huge fan of what your work for Turning Point USA. And I read your book recently, The Right Wing Revolution. And I

I really am inspired by you and want to really make a difference in politics. So when I talk politics with my friends, it's kind of hard to convince them about why they should vote for Trump. And they kind of just have their own way of

saying that they support their own candidate by kind of talking about Trump in a negative light. So I was just wondering what do you suggest is the best way to like argue for Trump, like show them the truth about him and how can I help them realize that the media is lying and very biased, if that makes sense.

Here's my framing, which is this. You're not voting for Trump. You're voting for the roster of 5,000 people that are going to run your government over the next four years. And do you want those people more with a worldview that believe in borders, that believe in parental rights, that believe in the Constitution, that believe in sane foreign policy or in the Kamala Harris direction, which is the exact opposite? You're voting for a vision of what America should be.

Exactly. And that 5,000 people means a lot more than just Donald Trump's social media postings or the personality associated. The Democrats know they lose this election. The Democrats know they lose this election.

If it's about worldview, the Democrats worldview is increasingly unpopular with swing voters and moderate voters. It's one of a weakened America, of a looted America, of a damaged country, of an economically dependent, not energy independent. So I mean that their worldviews, they'd rather have Kamala Harris dance all over the place. And so it is that 5,000,

roster. Let's play cut 186. I think I said it even more eloquently. This was at our Make America Healthy Again event with Bobby Kennedy last week. Jeez, my goodness. We are doing a lot of stuff right now. Play cut 186. You're not voting for Trump. You're voting for 5,000 people that will run your government. Do you think that Donald Trump will assemble 5,000 better people, more in line with your worldview, maybe not perfect, or Kamala Harris? That's what's on the ticket.

It is a team of 5,000 people. And that goes from everything, from the Department of Defense to the border to all these issues. And they want to try to personalize this election in the media. They want to try to make you feel emotional about something Trump said or did not say. But we will win if we can rise above that and say, hey, you have Bobby Kennedy involved in a presidential transition team of who's going to be at the FDA, the CDC, the NIH. I mean...

That's a game changer. This is the Avengers team. Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi is the former co-chair of the DNC just a couple years ago. You got Elon Musk, who is the world's wealthiest man and is a free thinker and used to be an Obama supporter. Of course, Bobby Kennedy. And I think it's really something for those of us that can see what's really going on in the country.

Beyond just the media news cycle and the chatter on cable TV, we know that we are at risk of losing our country because there's an unelected oligarchy that is making decisions for health, for border, for war. And this is our opportunity. Our framers gave us this, especially here in Arizona, because these electoral votes are going to matter a lot. They're going to say, hey, you could take back those 5,000 positions. You can all of a sudden say, no, Anthony Fauci, all of your minions are gone in the FDA. They're gone.

That is how I would answer that. Thank you for being a member. Really appreciate it. Okay, let's get to the next question here. Emily, thank you for being a member. It means a lot. Emily, what's on your mind? Hey, Charlie. I had a question about actually something you and Blake talked about earlier this week here in Alabama. We have a massive Haitian invasion, as I call it, going on all across the state. I'm in the Madison Huntsville area, and we don't have it right here, but we have it everywhere else.

And I don't know what we do about it because these people are federally protected, but we're hearing stories about 13-year-old girls being raped and ending up pregnant by their rapist. A story came out today about a 16-year-old that was at a car wash, and she was being basically stalked by one of these people. Somebody filed a police report about a man lurking between houses at night.

filed a police report, went to the police department the next day to kind of follow up. And they're told all of these things are not tracked locally. We're having to send them to a federal agency. What do we do about all of this? Like, it's just heartbreaking seeing what's happening in our communities. And I feel like we have no options on how to fight back. Yeah, it's a very important question. I'm going to play a piece of tape here in a second. But this is by design. The Harris-Biden regime, they are stuffing foreigners with

in the reddest communities across the country in small town red america i think partially as revenge blake might not agree with this but i think that they get like off on this sinister like we're gonna go send the haitians into red america maybe a bit of that maybe i think there's an element there you can't convince me i don't know that but it's just gut instinct um

I'm not going to get into what states can do to resist this yet because I want to win the election and do this properly to the federal government. If we lose in November, it's going to get very, very messy. I'm just going to be honest. It's going to get messy of states being— Especially if they start packing the courts. Then you really have to start thinking like, okay, what are we going to do about this truly out of control once and all? Do we have a country at that point? And I don't want to get there yet, Emily. Yeah.

But Emily, just so you were clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night, it's only going to get worse unless Donald Trump wins. A new report from Fox News shows that across the border, 13,000 people convicted of murder, 15,000 people convicted of rape on the non-detained list, meaning they're currently roaming free around our country. So right now, roaming free on the interior of the United States are 13,000 convicted murderers.

15,000 convicted rapists and they're just they're having a field day and they're coming for your daughter next let's play cut 183 according to a letter that the acting director of ice just sent to texas congressman tony gonzalez uh on ice's non-detained docket they're currently tracking 425 000 uh non-citizens who have been convicted of a crime of that number

Over 13,000 non-citizens have convictions for homicide and are on the non-detained docket, meaning they're roaming the country right now. On top of that, there are another 15,811 non-citizens convicted of sexual assault.

who are roaming the country right now on ICE's non-detained docket. It doesn't stop there. Those are convictions. The ICE director also says there are currently just under 1,900 non-citizens on the non-detained docket who have pending homicide charges who are roaming the country and another 4,250 non-citizens who have pending sexual assault charges

who are roaming the country on the non-detained docket. I want you to understand this. That means that they're coming across the border, they run a background check, or someone knows, and then they say, just have fun.

That's what that means. That means that we know who they are. And then we just release them into the interior and say it just shocks me like the level of control you can have over media narrative that like, you know, the New York Times or whoever can blow this off. Thirteen, 13000 homicide convictions just roaming the US as an elective policy choice. And the election is closed.

I mean, the election is close. It's very close. And there was a poll that just showed up here. Arizona women voters favor Kamala Harris 52 percent, 43 percent. And that does not include the two million gotaways vote.

And since those are the border jumpers who avoid border encounters, it's safe to conclude the proportion of convicted criminals is even higher than that, 2 million plus of them. Thank you for being a member and stay safe in Alabama and pray Trump wins or else things are going to get really bad. They're going to get even worse. There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters. Tim, Tim, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind?

Hey, Charlie, is it okay if I weigh in on the getting close to God question? Of course, absolutely. I had two things that made me think of as you guys were talking. So one of the things that has really helped me in the last couple of years is I've started, I struggle with just making time to read the Bible on a daily basis. I would just get busy and didn't get to it.

And so I listen to podcasts a lot while I take a shower. I'm doing stuff like, you know, I'm going to devote my shower time to listening to God's Word. So I've just got the Bible app that probably everybody has, the Holy Bible with the brown. And it's got an audio version on there. And so I just put on my Bluetooth speaker. And so every morning I get 15 to 20 minutes just kind of while I'm getting ready and doing stuff.

That has been a big blessing to me. I've gotten through the Bible twice now. I'm on my third time through within a fairly short period of time. So huge blessing for me. And the other thing, related to what you were saying about struggling with prayer time and what has really helped me is to pull up a Word document. Sometimes you tell people you'll pray for them, you'll pray about this, and then you forget and you don't do it. But I got to where it's like, okay, I'm going to open a Word document.

and i just put those requests on there and then i put a time on my calendar it's like okay take 15 minutes and just spend that in prayer because my mind wonders if i don't have a list in front of me and i kind of go off and i lose track but with that word document this keeps me focused i'm praying for you i'm playing for president trump i'm praying for election integrity just a ton of things that 15 minutes goes by very quickly and my prayer starts off with something that i got from somebody i don't want to forget this i want to pray this prayer and this

God, please send me daily opportunities to speak for you and help me be a bold and compassionate witness for you and your son. Amen. Please empty me of all my fears and anxiety and fill me with your powerful spirit. So that's just been a great blessing to me. How has that helped your life? How has that deepened your walk with Christ?

I think it creates, well, one, just hearing the word on a daily basis. It's just that there are those reminders, those things that challenge you, sometimes those things that make you uncomfortable because they push you, that turning the other cheek, those hard things that are hard to do. But just hearing God's word, there's power in that. And the more I've listened to it, the more I've come to realize that. And then the prayer time, it's just, you know, you develop a relationship by listening.

talking to someone and so and kind of listening and so that's I've gotten to where it's like it brings peace into my day and it's like there's a old gospel song sweet hour of prayer and I don't have a sweet hour I have sweet 15 minutes but uh but if I mean I've kind of I've gotten to where I just

I look forward to it with joy. It's like, ah, I'm going to carve out some time. I'm just going to talk to my father for a little bit. I'm going to, and just to be able to kind of, yeah, there are these things that we're dealing with in this world are so discouraging, but, uh, just to be able to, it's like, it's just him and me and we're just talking and there's a piece that comes with that. Well, thank you, man. What, uh, what is your question? That was really beautiful, but what's your question? Yeah, yeah, no, no. So, um, the, the,

podcast this week with RFK Jr. you did and Cali Means was just, I mean, it was fantastic. Thank you. I mean, I was so impacted by that. I was like, I've got to get this message out to friends. I'm doing the share podcast. I'm texting it to friends. I'm texting it to family. And I just thought, can you guys, I'm wondering what metrics you guys have that you can see, um,

Oh, wow, this is really striking a chord. I know you can see when social posts go viral, are you able to see which of your podcasts seem to kind of resonate, get traction, get spread? So just kind of a nerd question, but I was wondering if you guys- Yeah, that one did very well. Yeah, we track everything. We obviously don't publicize all the numbers, but our numbers are at record right now. We're number eight right now on-

That episode did very well. The entire health, wellness, Cali means make America healthy again is incredibly powerful. And the young lady we had on yesterday, Alex Clark, who works with us at Turning Point USA, her show is right now number two in all health podcasts.

And she's just blowing up to the moon. I love Alex. Isn't Alex great? So she's terrific. And so this whole kind of genre that we're seeing about restoration of self-sovereignty, eating healthy, eating clean, getting your life in order, no longer being a subservient serf to big pharma or big food, increasingly popular.

Got to run. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you, Blake. Thank you. Daisy says, I can confirm from the numbers that the RFK Cali Means podcast did very well. Laura, thank you for being a member. You are our final question today. What is on your mind?

Hi, Charlie, I'm so excited to be here. This is my first time calling in. I am pretty active in my community as far as getting out the vote. And I have found I've actually made little cards with websites that

like-minded people can go to and be able to fill out their ballot. And I find that a lot of conservatives, they'll vote for Trump or a Republican, but they don't know how to vote for a judge or vote for a school board member and down ballot. They just have no clue. They don't have time to look.

And so everywhere I go, grocery store, gym, wherever, if I hear people talking that are like-minded like myself, I will give them a little card that has some suggested websites. I hand them out to my people in my Bible study, wherever I can. And I just spread the word as much as I can. And I even take a picture of it, send it through text, whatever I can do.

And they're so thankful because they have no clue how to vote down ballot. They have they just haven't done the study. So here's my question. I have friends and relatives out of state, and I would love to point them in the right direction to help them vote for the right school board members or judges, DAs or propositions, whatever that is.

So is there a website that's out there that your listeners, anyone from any state can go to and get help voting? What state do you live in? I live in California. I'm one of those that's holding out. And I get a lot of people. This is what I get a lot of.

Oh, we're never going to win. I don't even know why we're voting. I get a lot of people like that. And then I remind them that we our state was the one that, you know, helped win the House. Right. So we we we can do it. We can move the needle. I keep telling people, don't give up, don't give up. But there are a lot of people out here that are conservative that are. So what part of California do you live in?

I live in Orange. Orange County. Great. So I will connect you with some grassroots activists at the Lincoln Club in Orange County that do exhaustive voter guides and they can send them to you about every down ballot recommendation. So that's why I asked. So Daisy, can you can you get that done? And

And so we'll send it to you so you'll be able to print it out, photocopy it, make copies. I think it'd be really helpful for you. So thank you. Okay. Thank you so much. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com. Thanks so much for listening and God bless.
