The Final Push For Tuesday — My Speech at East Carolina University
01:04:23 Share

Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Hey, everybody. How we doing tonight?

All right. We had some fun earlier. I see a lot of MAGA hats, so I see a lot of you guys that were there earlier. I'm not going to talk for too long here. I want to spend most of our time on questions. We're talking for seven hours a day right now, but it's worth it. I'm losing my voice. So it's great to be here. There's one message I do want to present for you, which is the unique moment that you're living through. And this is one reason why I hope President Trump wins. I have no idea what's going to happen.

And all of this is obviously reflections of turning point action in my own personal views here, which is I'm not in the prediction business. Obviously, early voting is going very well, and we'll see what's happening. But one of the reasons why I hope President Trump wins more than anything else is that there's a unique realignment happening in this country that is deeply profound. Many of you grew up in a country where the Republican Party was traditionally the party of warmongering, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, international adventurism, the party of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

the party of free trade. The Democrat Party was a similar version of that, but at least would say to their voters that we're against these types of wars and that we want to try to have more American products, more products made in America and at least stop the flow of immigration. All that changed, and we call that the uniparty because there's actually been more agreement than disagreement in Washington, D.C. these last couple of decades when Donald Trump went down the escalator. And you might hate Donald Trump, you might love Donald Trump, but you should love what he represents.

Donald Trump represents somebody who went into the arena and completely changed American politics as we know it to say, wait a second, and he asked very basic questions. And understand, they don't attack Donald Trump because of his tone or because how he quote-unquote attacks people. They attack Donald Trump because he asks the right questions. And he asked the first question, why is it that we're sending all this money overseas? This makes no sense. Why is it that we have an open border? If we don't have a border, we don't have a country.

And then he said, why is it that we don't make products in this country anymore? And for that, he committed the great sin of modern politics, which is to challenge the bipartisan consensus of Washington, D.C. And it's been honestly one of the most amazing journeys, and it's really kind of remarkable that it's coming to an end. I mean, for me, it's been nine years of this. For you guys, this might be your first election cycle. From the moment he went down the escalator, it's hard to – you guys remember what politics was like before Trump, right?

It wasn't fun, right? He's totally changed. You guys might say, oh, you know, I want him to go away. It's different in a very profound way because the parties are totally changing in real time, and they're changing for the better. The Republican Party is now a party that is completely on board for free speech, is against these stupid endless wars, wants to close the border and put American workers first. The Democrat Party always used to be the party of labor, and it is exhibited based on what I think is the greatest trade deal ever. So...

The Democrat Party receives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and we get Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard. I think that's a pretty good trade deal, wouldn't you say? And I want to isolate two of those people for you, Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy. Tulsi was going to be here, but we sent her somewhere else because, honestly, we're dividing and conquering right now. As you guys can understand, it's just crazy. Schedules are nuts. You're stuck with me tonight. But –

Tulsi Gabbard ran for the presidency as a Democrat. She was the co-chair of the Democrat National Committee. Bobby Kennedy is the namesake of Bobby Kennedy, who was shot, the brother of JFK, former attorney general and presidential candidate. Amazing guy. These two people have in like a galaxy far, far away. No one would have imagined that those two people would have been endorsing Donald Trump.

And what happened is, first and foremost, they both tried to run with their values, which were traditional Democrat values, in the Democrat Party. And what happened to Tulsi Gabbard? Tulsi Gabbard was the co-chair of the DNC, ran for the presidency, and basically was told there's no place for you in this party because you don't support sending money to Ukraine. It's essentially like the entire thing.

And also it's a party that does not support free speech, that does not support free inquiry. And then Bobby Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy tried to run for the presidency as a Democrat. He asked Joe Biden, why don't we have a primary? Why don't we try to actually see who the best Democrat is? And Joe Biden, of course, I mean, you know, he's like the gift that keeps on getting now. It's unbelievable. And it's really, it's amazing. This is a guy that they kept in the basement forever.

the entire 2020 campaign, and yet a week out from the election, while Kamala Harris is giving her closing address, they put him on some Zoom call with Voto Latino. It's like, are you trying to give us something? And again, I don't know. Maybe Joe Biden is a secret Trump supporter. I don't think so. I will say, though...

What he said is an embodiment of where I think the Democrat Party actually is. I'll get to that in a second. So the realignment that is happening is exciting and it's a profound one because you in this room represent the first generation in American history to have your life worse off than your parents. I want you guys to understand this. There has never been a younger generation since George Washington that has it worse off than their parents.

We've had ones that are on par. Even during the Great Depression, they had it as good as their parents, and then eventually better. You are the first generation ever where you are inheriting and receiving a country that is way screwed up. And I'll give you the numbers. You're the most depressed generation in history, the most suicidal generation in history, the most anxious generation in history. You're the least likely to own homes, the least likely to get married, the least likely to have kids, most likely to be medicated, and most likely to say that none of this stuff actually matters.

And we asked the question, I thought we're the richest country ever. What happened here? And it's because we have a breakdown of the social contract where a bunch of people in both political parties have been playing games with your future

Routinely, both financially, fiscally, morally, and politically. And Donald Trump partially, I mean, he's running for all Americans, but for young Americans, he's at least trying to give you the life back that you had four years ago. And the life is very simple. When Donald Trump was president and ordered to own a home in this country, you need to earn $75,000 a year. Now it's $135,000 a year. The average mortgage payment when Trump was president, $700 a month. Now it's $2,000 a month.

It is bad for everybody in this audience if you are going to be renting for the rest of your life.

Owning homes makes you a better citizen, a better person, and more invested in your community and more likely to steward your resources in appropriate and long-term matter. And so what's happening is this realignment which is so exciting. The Republican Party is becoming younger. It's becoming more diverse. It's becoming more open to Latinos, to blacks, to people of all different backgrounds, where the Democrat Party is becoming far more coastal, far more elite, and far more out of touch with everyday Americans. And I'll close with this.

And again, I have no idea what's going to happen on Tuesday. I certainly have strong opinions what I hope happens. But what they have had put Donald Trump through these last couple of years, no American presidential candidate in history has had to endure what this man has had to go through.

He's facing 700 years in federal prison. They've tried to take his business empire away from him. He's been shot once and attempted three assassinations against him, not to mention all the smearing and the slandering. You're like, okay, hold on a second. What does this guy represent where you have to go this crazy against him? It's very simple. He knows that there is a con job happening in Washington, D.C.,

And he's going to try to change it and try to bring the power back to you. It's not about his tweets. It's not about his tone. It's that for the first time in a generation, he wants to put we the people back in charge of our government, not the politicians. Okay, with that, let's do some questions, everybody. We're going to go 45 minutes to an hour because I've got to save my voice. How are we going to do questions? They'll let me know. In the meantime, let me ask you a question. Who has voted? Raise your hand. Wow. Let me ask it differently. Who hasn't voted?

Okay, wow. So this is, I would say that we're doing very, very well with voter turnout in eastern North Carolina right now. Very, very well. So I'm largely speaking to not just the converted, but the voted. But let me tell you now, how many of you know somebody that hasn't voted? All of your hands go up. Find that person and get them to the poll. Now you have a job. You've done your job. You've got to find somebody else and get them to vote and vote for Donald Trump. Be a force multiplier and get others to go out and vote.

If you guys would like to line up here, we can do questions. All questions are welcome as long as they're in good faith. Raise your hand, Macy, please. If you guys want to line up here, we can do questions. We can do disagreements if you'd like or agreements or whatever. And this earlier in the day was a lot of fun. And so if you guys want to start lining up there, we can start doing questions.

Hi, my name is Renee. First of all, big fan. I'm so glad you're here. My question is, there are still some jobs in America that still like have you have to have your COVID vaccine. I'm a musical theater major and my dream is to be on a national tour. And right now I can't audition for any shows because I don't have my COVID vaccine. Do you think that is ever going to change with like a field that's so brainwashed?

Oh, my gosh. Wait, who's still requiring the COVID vaccine? Like, if I wanted to audition for a national tour, like the Broadway shows, I can't do that because I don't have my COVID vaccine. Are you kidding me? No, I'm very serious. I mean, first of all, like, you seem like a very healthy person.

And I don't know if you've taken the shot before or not. I mean, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your body because I actually believe it's not your DNA. It's not your choice. Unlike Democrats, it's not my body. It's my choice. Oh, really? How about the vaccine that you kick people out of the military for a couple years without pay and you draft them aside? Oh, it's my body, my side. I don't think you actually believe that. Oh, it's only your body, your choice when you want to murder an unborn baby. Got it. Okay. But not your body, your choice when you want to say no to experimental mRNA gene-altering shot. Call the vaccine. Okay.

No, I have no opinions on the vaccine, as you can tell. Make whatever medical decisions you guys want. If you're on your ninth booster, I hope it works out for you. Yeah, I mean...

You seem like a very strong person on your convictions. I personally, I didn't have to suffer very much for not taking the vaccine. But when I mean this like under no circumstances would I bend a knee and allow somebody to take something? I know that was bad for me. That would not help me. That is like the most simple statement of bodily autonomy. And we cannot lose that in this country. And also it's just so creepy totalitarian that they can come into you and force it and kick you out of things.

I mean, I would say sue, but these are private organizations. And that's so dystopian. But what is their argument for it exactly? It's not safe. It's not effective. It doesn't stop the spread. And by the way, we are seeing, how many of you guys know somebody that had a bad health outcome because of the vaccine? Raise your hand. Look around. This is the greatest public health scandal in the history of the country. Every single hand goes up. Women had miscarriages because of it. They have irregular periods because of it.

We are seeing myocarditis, pericarditis, posterior orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, otherwise known as POPs, has increased because of it, dysautonomia. So, I mean, I wouldn't take it under any circumstances, and it might hurt your career, but God has a plan for you, and stay strong. You'll be blessed by that. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, Charlie, how's it going? My name's Eric. It's nice to meet you. I want to talk to you about school choice and school vouchers.

I just want to get your general position on it. I'm very much in favor. There are some downsides, but I'm very much in favor. What are the downsides, in your opinion? Some rules get hurt.

rural schools end up getting hurt or at least downsized. And so we have school choice in Arizona. It's a huge positive. Test scores go up. We see college graduation or at least entry rates go up. Not that I'm a huge fan of college, but at least that's one metric that can be measured. Literacy goes up. Dropouts go down. And the quality of schools go up when you have competition. Are you aware that in states like Ohio, Louisiana, and I think Wisconsin, they saw the largest test rate

test score drops in the history of their, or on record, even larger than Hurricane Katrina. Also in countries like Sweden, which I've heard you talk about before, they have a universal school voucher program. They saw the largest PISA score drops over 10 years of any of the

Excuse me, any of the countries involved? No, I don't know that. I'd have to look into it. All I know is the two examples I know is Arizona and Florida. Florida went from 38th in education in the country. They did universal school choice. Now they're top five every single year. Arizona is also top five. So I'd have to look into those other examples. But here's my general principle, is that a zip code should not determine a child's future and that locking them in a public school

A public sector school that is basically an open-air prison with teachers that don't care about them just because they happen to be born to a lower-income family is wrong and immoral, and it actually can break the cycle of social safety net we have to give them the ability to go to a better school and have the parent choose and empower the family to be able to go and have the taxpayer dollars follow the child. Sure. So that example –

is present but not necessarily all the time. So in Arizona, you mentioned 75% of people who are enrolled in that program have never been to public school a day in their life. So what we're doing is we're paying for people who have only gone to private school who are going to private school to get a free private school education. Well, hold on. We aren't paying. Your own tax dollars are paying. Yeah. So,

So your dollars are then going and getting reappropriated, right? So I pay a significant sum in Arizona taxes. Now it's just a matter of taking $7,500 of that a year and allowing my tax dollars to go where I want it to go. So no one else is paying for me.

Well, no, what I'm saying is the example you gave was about poor people who go to bad schools with teachers they don't care about them to go to private schools that are higher quality just think at a higher quality education. What I'm saying is that's not necessarily the case because the vast majority of people who get school vouchers in the state that you mentioned already go to private school.

So all we're doing is paying for people who can't afford a private education to get one for free instead of making public schools that the vast majority of people go to. In North Carolina, we have 1.4 million public school students. We only have 25,000 voucher students. Instead of making public schools better for everyone, what you're doing is you're allocating

Small amount of funds or a large amount of funds if we're in North Carolina for students who are already going to private school. So let me ask you just you've obviously thought deeply about this topic. How would you fix American public education? I would look at certain targeted policy solutions. One thing that you did that I what you said that I agree with you on is the biggest thing that.

needs to higher education is having higher quality teachers and having teachers, great teachers. You're exactly right. I completely agree with you on that. But what we also need to do, what we also need to look at is improving private school or public school funding. Because if you look at the states that have the highest rate

ranks of education, you have New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and I think Vermont. These are all top five in public school funding, and they're all top 10 in public school education rankings. When you increase public school funding, you also increase high school graduation, or every 10% increase in public school funding increases high school graduation rates by 7%, and it increases low-income family income by 17%. Yeah, I'm not convinced of that. I have to look into it, because...

Funding is not the problem in Chicago public schools or Baltimore public schools, right? I mean, in Baltimore, there are 13 public schools where they can't find a kid that can read at grade level, right? And the teachers are earning a fair amount of money, and we're spending $21,000 per head in those schools, and we can't even find a kid at grade level. So we agree on the quality of teacher education. I'll look into some of the studies you mentioned. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you.

What's up, Charlie? I wanted to ask first, how's your day been and how do you enjoy Greenville? It's been a great day here. Have you been here before? I have. I was here seven years ago. Was anybody here when I was here? I don't think you guys are here. I was here seven years ago. Yeah, I was still in middle school. You were in middle school. Yeah, good. Good answer.

My second question is, how much harder does it get for you to do your job when we continue to have racist comedians on stages, especially like on the presidential stage? I feel like that's kind of ridiculous, but that's just me.

Hard, not really hard to do my job, but I mean, man, can you take a joke? I mean, like. Well, I mean, like, I have no problem with taking a joke. You can put them on TV. I watch people make racist jokes all the time. I watch the boondocks all the time. I have no problem with racist jokes, but I feel like on a presidential stage, we're supposed to be a little professional. I agree with that. We're supposed to be professional. So, like, why are we making racist jokes? Look, it's a comedian that was put up on stage. What do you expect? A presidential stage, though. What?

Again, it was like four hours before Trump arrived. But we're not on a regular stage. Like, we're supposed to be respectful. We're projecting our country and we're projecting racist jokes onto our country. Yeah, I think you're overthinking it, to be perfectly honest with you. No, when you have a president up there endorsing somebody making racist jokes. Well, no, he didn't. No, no, no, no, no, no. Millions of Americans. Hold on a second. He disavowed it. He doesn't know. No, he's on the stage with Trump. That's endorsing it. Hold on. Let's speak. Hold on. Guys. If he's on the stage.

Let me explain. He was never on the stage with Trump. It was four hours before Trump arrived. He disavowed him. But let's just be very clear. This guy is not just some schlep. He's a Comedy Central well-received... He did the roast of Tom Brady, okay? This is not just some random comedian. I don't like the joke. I agree with you. But the fake moral outrage...

because a very popular comedian made a bad joke at a presidential rally. I will say one thing. I think we need more comedy in this country, not less. That was bad comedy. But here's one thing. And I'm not here to defend him. I actually think it was a bad joke and it was annoying. But...

Good comics will tell you that if you are not wildly offending somebody one out of ten jokes You're not trying hard enough and by the way you think like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock have always like walked on eggshells And you might say okay. It's different because it's not on a presidential stage okay fair enough But I think that we become so politically correct We're walking around to be offended by something, but I will say something that should bother you

The current president of the United States who controls the U.S. military calling everyone in this room garbage, that should bother you, and that's a completely different thing. I don't like Biden. One sec, one sec. I can't hear you. Continue. I don't rock with Biden either. You what? I don't support Biden either. Oh, fair enough. No, I know, but like, I just...

Do you understand what I'm coming from? Which is like, this is the hand wringing over a comedian in a pre-show act. It's called a warm-up routine. It's not, Trump wasn't like, let me get my, where's my Tony? Bring Tony up here. Yeah, but we're not warming up for something regular. Like, I have no problem with that when we're just performing for regular people, but we're not performing for a regular purpose. Like, we're...

This is the country we're talking about. We don't need to make racist jokes and project. I mean, I agree. It's just it's don't you guys find it remarkable, like the select moral outrage? I just I know you're misunderstanding me. I have no problem. Put him on national television. He can do that. Just not on the presidential stage. That's the only place. It's unacceptable, honestly. OK, thank you. It's fine. It's fine. Well, so hello. Hello. So I have one question. It's more of an honest face question about Trump.

I've listened to the Joe Rogan interview, the Theo Vaughn interview. Very good. I have one question. What is Trump going to do about Russia and Ukraine? I mean, as he said, if he told you the specifics, it would jeopardize his position, but he will end the war. And let me be very clear. The war never should have been allowed to advance as far as it has because the peace deal that was – and we should stop sending money to Ukraine, by the way. And the peace deal that was on the table –

was actually they would have had twice as much land, Ukraine, as they currently would have right now. And so we told them, reject this peace deal. We supply $250 billion in weaponry and financial support. 100,000 Ukrainians died. Millions turned into refugees, and they get less of their land. That is exactly...

par for the course of what our own military industrial complex does. They lie to the native country, we subsidize their demise, their people get scattered around the world, and then we cover it up and call it all in the name of democracy. So here's probably what Trump will do. He'll put Zelensky in a room and Putin in a room. And this is just conjecture based on piecing things together. He'll tell Zelensky, the money train is over. He'll tell Putin, if you

dare go another inch, there will be missiles going on the Kremlin tomorrow. And you know what? Putin is like so terrified that Trump means it that he wouldn't go an inch. And you know how I know that's legit? Because under George W. Bush, Putin took parts of Georgia. Under Barack Obama, he annexed Crimea. And under Biden, he took the Donbass. Under Trump, he didn't take an inch. Your thoughts? I mean, I completely agree with that. Awesome. I have one more question for argument's sake.

The biggest thing the left has in their favor is abortion. What is the argument against abortion? No, fair enough. That's fine. We did this earlier, and I'm happy to do it again. So I'm just going to do a very simple syllogism, which is a one, two, three sequence. Is that okay? Yes, sir. Okay. So we both believe that murder is wrong and should be illegal. Yes. Right? We both agree that an unborn life is a human life. Therefore, the forcible termination of that human life is murder, therefore should be illegal. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, how you doing tonight? My name is Angie. I haven't came here to like disagree anything because I'm actually undecided. I haven't voted yet, but I'm planning on voting soon because originally I was going to sit out because I was thinking, okay, this is both parties. I don't... It's too loud. Yeah. I hear you. Yeah. And even also want to appreciate all the work you're doing because I started watching your content about a month ago, so it's keeping my sanity so far. Yeah.

So, yes, I was saying, what are your thoughts and comments about people who are undecided, who are still trying to do that research of both parties? First of all, you deserve a lot of credit for being here tonight and having an open mind. I wish we had more Americans like you. Can I ask you, what one or two issues are most pressing for you in your life? Let's see. First of all, I think it's the safety of our nation because...

Over time, it's been pretty much dangerous based on how, for example, like migrants. That's another issue, too, the immigration. Because I am passionate about it, and I do believe that even though America, just like any country, has its flaws, but for me, I'm grateful to be an American. Amen. So let me tell you a couple of things. Under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, our immigration system has pushed us to the limit.

We have 10 million people. We don't even know who they are, 13,000 of whom were prior convicted murderers, 15,000 of whom prior convicted rapists. Under Donald Trump, we had the most secure border in history. Now, mind you, we had a functioning legal immigration system for people that wanted to come here the right way. Now, who here are the sons or daughters of immigrants? Raise your hand.

So I want to just say, for everyone here that has a family member that immigrated legally, it is insulting to your family that your family had to follow the rules and somebody gets to cut in line and come into the country. It's insulting. And so...

Our immigration system should be about punishing bad behavior and rewarding good behavior. It should be about if you're willing to wait in line and do the right job, then that will be rewarded. And instead, it's so demoralizing. For example, a family in Vietnam that wants to come here legally, and they look on their phone, all I have to do, I guess, is fly to Mexico and walk across the border, right? It's just, it's demoralizing. So that's number one. Number two, on safety in general, Donald Trump will bring back

support for local communities to be able to instill law and order. We've seen a spike in crime across the country the last couple of years. And then the economy, I bet, is a big issue. Maybe, maybe not for you. It is for me. Yeah. It is for me. Donald Trump will make inflation go down by lowering energy prices, by tax cuts, for example. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. And finally, finally...

Trump might say stuff you like or not like or you might not be a fan. You're actually not voting for Trump or Kamala. You're voting for 5,000 people that will run your government.

So the type of people that you want are people like Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, people like Franklin Graham, by the way, who will be able to have a friendship with the president, that will then institute these policies. And so if you're open-minded, I appreciate and respect that. But vote what is best on the policies because policies live longer than personalities. And I do agree with that because...

Ever since when they came out to the election, what's funny is at first, as stated, I was going to sit down. I was like, I'm not voting, but...

A good friend named Steven, who is a Trump supporter, he's like, no, we're not going to do that. You go and get up there and vote. Well, I hope you do vote. And I want to use my favorite word in the English language, which is the word earn. I hope we earn your vote and keep your vote. Because I will say, when Trump was first president, I think he earned all of our votes. We had no new wars, a secure border, and a great economy. So I hope he can earn your vote again this election. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. Hey, Charlie. Nice to meet you. I'm Alex.

My question is more of just a simple statement of if banning guns will lead to the end of gun crime, how will banning abortion lead to back alley abortions?

Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, first of all, there are two completely different things. One is banning a technology, then one is forbidding an action. So we both agree that murder should be illegal, but we never contest that there would not be a black market illegal abortion market. So, but first and foremost, you must get your morality right. So we say that murder is wrong, stealing is wrong, you know, theft is wrong, arson is wrong. Those things still happen, but having a justice system that forbids those things is necessary for a civil society.

So the big thing with me is I'm against abortion. In a way, I'd want to keep it legal. The big part is just the part. And by keep it legal, I mean more in the fringe cases. So, for example, there's a statistic that I saved sometime last year. That's 92% of abortions are no reason is given. And like 0.001% is like incest or 0.025% is...

rape or I think .03 is harm to the mother. It's very, very few. You're right. If you actually go by the reasons of harm, it's

Less than half of a percent. But the main comparison I was bringing with this with the question is just more of banning guns will lead to the end of gun crime or there will be no more gun crime. But banning abortions, oh, people are going to do it anyways. It's just it's just the dichotomy of that. Oh, I see. That's like a liberal talking point. Fair enough. Yeah, for sure. And it is self it's self contradictory. And by the way, just so we're clear.

And I think we could do a better job of bragging on the success of this. There are roughly 250,000 human beings that are alive in 10 states that have gotten rid of abortion thanks to the reversal of Roe versus Wade. We've seen the birth rates go up in these states. And I don't think we celebrate that enough.

Again, I am, my abortion position is not that of Donald Trump's. I want to be very clear. I am more pro-life than he is. I wish he was more in that way, but it's all good. He's the most pro-life president in history. So if you are not with me on abortion, that is not a reason not to vote for Trump. I just want to be clear. I am on a multi-decade fight to try to open people's eyes to the horror of abortion. Not going to waver on it, but I understand the political complication of the issue. So thank you very much. Appreciate it.

Hello. I hope your family's doing amazing. My name is Landon. I'm 16 years old, and I go to a school that's predominantly liberal. And last week, I went to the Trump rally that was here and came back to school with a Trump hoodie and this hat. And I got posted on the story saying that I can't even vote. Like I said, my school's predominantly liberal, so what message would you give to the people of... What school is it? Hereford County Early College.

What is it again? Sorry. Hereford County Early College. You're already in college at 16 years old? It's early college. I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't. I can't hear what you guys can. The speakers are this way. What is early college? Sorry. Yeah. I take high school classes and some college classes. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm behind the times. We don't have that out west. So, look, I guess your question is what can you do about it?

That and what message would you give to these people that are predominantly liberal?

Well, first, let me say this, is that I get this question all the time, and this applies to everybody, and win or lose on Tuesday, this is so incredibly important, which is the left thrives. This is one reason I really hope we're going to win. I don't want to say we think we're going to win, but an argument in the favor that Trump is going to win is that I truly believe our numbers are greater than anybody realizes because of how hard and difficult it is to speak your mind. I think it's changing. And by the way, let me just make a side note.

How many people that are not in college remember how much of a pariah that hat was eight years ago? Do you remember that? And it's now become a hat. I mean, there's still people that give you, but people are unafraid to now wear the hat in public, and it is a symbol of hope and optimism and positivity. I just love seeing that. And so if that wasn't your question, here's what I will say, and it's a general rule, which is...

that there are moments in life where someone is going to force you to do something against your value system. What you do in that moment develops your character.

And unfortunately, we have a lot of people that will bend the knee when their character is tested. And I'm not saying you're a bad person. I'm not even saying you're weak. You've got to do what you've got to do to pay the bills or to feed your family. But I will say this, that I think it erodes your soul over a period of time to be somebody in private life

in public life that you aren't in private life. And so what to do about it, you just say no. No, I'm not going to take the hat off, actually. Have a great day. Thank you. I'm not going to take the sweatshirt off. Well, we're going to have to kick you out of class. Okay, fine. Like, go ahead. Oh, and we're going to fire you from the job. Okay, I'll find a new one. And if 80 million Americans did that, we would take back the country overnight. We would take back the country overnight if 80 million people did that. And...

Let me be clear. Don't be a jerk about it. Don't make a scene. Don't start filming for social media. Just say no. Go get your boss. Go get your supervisor. We're not going to do that. And they thrive on being able to control us. Their methods of control are intimidation, smear, and slander. And so as far as my message to the libs, go seek wisdom because you need it. So thank you. Thank you.

Just a reminder, if you disagree, our team can bring you to the front of the line. If not, we'll continue for about 30 more minutes. First of all, I just want to say I'm grateful to be here.

One of the things I want to ask is how are we going to cut the, like, how much of a deficit we are in debt when we're cutting taxes? It's a huge question. Thank you for that. People would say, Charlie, what is the one place where you might see things differently than Trump? I am a deficit hawk. I think we need a balanced budget and we need to cut government spending and that the $36 trillion debt is a disaster. And, again, I don't get much applause because people don't even understand the issue. Your future is being...

spent away on a daily basis. Number one, we have to stop sending money to countries that we shouldn't be sending money to. Stop spending $200 billion to Ukraine. That's a good way to start. Number two, we have to dramatically shrink some of our social welfare programs. And I think people joke about this on Twitter because they think they're really smart. But...

Elon Musk, doing the Department of Government Efficiency, he absolutely can cut trillions of dollars out of the federal budget. There is so much waste in the federal budget that has never been examined. So Congress is a waste of time, right? You know that there's a thing called baseline budgeting. Do you guys know what baseline budgeting is? It's so insane. This is how D.C. works. So when they tell you they're cutting spending, they're cutting the rate of growth of spending.

So baseline budgeting is that without any questions asked, you start at the prior baseline of where the budget was the year before. So here's how insane it is. If you're budgeting as a family and you say, you know, okay, okay, family, we're bringing in $70,000 a year as a family. And, you know, we have to put some money in the bank for savings. We want to pay the bills, pay the mortgage and groceries and insurance. We want to take a vacation and all of that.

So then you come back the next year, and let's say you end up spending $69,000 a year. You come back the next year, and you say, okay, we have to start at $69,000 a year. And everything on, you don't even re-examine all the costs from the year before. You're going to be like, oh, we spent too much on vacation and all that. In D.C., they start at how much they spent the year before, and they build on top of it, meaning no one has looked at these budgets for 40 years.

There's 40 years of built-up waste at the Department of Labor and the Department of Interior and the Department of Justice. We're talking about like $55 hammers and trips to Argentina that we never even hear of. So Elon Musk, who has famously done this at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and now at X, he loves firing people, man. And Washington, D.C. needs a house cleaning. Thank you.

I do want to say I agree with the efficiency with Elon Musk. One of the things I disagree with is the tariffs. I think the tariffs are going to just make the cost of goods more. Smart question, but can I ask you a follow-up? Yeah, go for it. If tariffs did that, why didn't that happen during Trump's first term? So first of all, I want to say I'm not familiar with how much percentage he put on a tariff. It was 150 total tariffs. Okay, so...

I heard the next one is like 20% or something like that? Yeah, so somewhere 10%, 15%. And it's fine. It's just a lot of corporate garbage you've been fed. But let me ask you, it's not a trick question because you're coming out in good faith. How does one avoid a tariff? Well, if I'm a business and I get tariff 10%, 15%, I'm going to push it off to the consumer. How do you avoid it, not pay it? Well, yeah, not pay it, but if I'm... How? Like I said...

It's not a trick question. Build a plant in North Carolina. Right, yeah, or in America. So what it does, and here's why, is every company wants to business us. And so we are the incumbent advantage power, the richest country in the world. So tariffs are brilliant. Anyone who told you differently is economically illiterate. And I used to be like against tariffs. Because here's why. Take Toyota. Toyota wants to sell their cars here. So we have a 25% pickup trucks tariff. Do you know that? It's okay if you don't. It's wonky stuff. 25% tariff on all pickup trucks imported. So where does Toyota make their pickup trucks?

In Tennessee. So what I'm saying is that all these companies will bend the knee to America and start opening factories across America and will employ millions of Americans and prices will not go up. And it's okay. I'm just saying. Yeah.

But here's the essence. You are right that a sloppy corporate-funded analysis is these companies that hate the country don't want to open factories here, so they fund a bunch of studies that make it seem as if, oh, yes, of course you're right. If you slap 20% on an import, it's on the surface is going to raise prices. That's before they bend the knee. So what you do, and Trump does, is he gives them a window.

saying that I will not tariff you if you build your factory and I will give you a grace period until that factory opens. Does that make sense? Yeah, no, that completely changed my mind on it because I was just on the assumption that these businesses were just going to push it off onto the consumer. No, for sure, and that's correct if you're Portugal.

Right. Because Portugal is a small country that isn't wealthy, so tariffs for them are very dangerous. Like, again, Hyundai, Honda, Samsung, Toyota, Bayer Drug Company, right, Porsche, Airbus, these major European and Asian companies, they're not sitting around being like, "Man, I wish we could get in the Portuguese market." Like, I mean, God bless them, right? But if they lose access to the American market, they're done.

They will do anything to keep their products coming to this country. So the condition is this: You can sell as many Honda cars as you want. Just open a factory in Florida. Open a factory in Tennessee. You could sell as many Samsung devices as you want. And so what it is, it's a brilliant forcing function if and only if you are the wealthiest country and the one that they want to do business with. Right. And we are. Right. Bingo. And that's why we should be proud and make this country great again. Thank you. And let me expand on that, guys.

We are so strong and powerful, we rarely ever show that strength on the world stage. This is why they hate Trump. He doesn't come with a negotiating power that we're like other countries. He says, no, we're actually in charge, we're in control, and our people deserve better, because they've been used and abused for the last couple decades. And it's about time that we start playing those chips. It's like a guy at the poker table that has 99% of the chips, and he never plays them. And he lets all the other people just kind of go around. It's like, no, actually, I'm going to call your bluff, because you don't have the chips.

I see you, Toyota. You can't do this. Your stock will crater. You will go bankrupt. Let the American market hunt. Honda does not exist. So anyway, yes. Next question. I am a huge fan. I love you so much. But I just have a question on how you feel about California's new no identification law for voting and the burning of the ballot boxes.

Well, the burning of ballot boxes is really dangerous and sad. So if you have a mail-in ballot, please bring it all the way to a voting center and watch it be counted if you submit a mail-in ballot. Thankfully, North Carolina, I bet you guys are all in-person voting people. Am I right? Yeah, okay. Smart people. Yeah, I mean, you always have to ask the question when you see something and saying why. So why not check an ID? Why not?

And the reason, of course, that it's easier to cheat, that's why, is that no other civilized country, France, Belgium, Switzerland, would have elections without IDs. But they want it because they want to be able to have a bunch of foreign citizens be able to vote if they want to. And so, again, the things that are necessary for you to be able to use an ID in this country, board an airplane, purchase liquor, are numerous. But if you want to vote, you just have to claim you are who you are. Thank you.

And by the way, we've got to get back to one day of voting paper ballots and voter ID in this country. We've got to get back to that. Hi, Charlie. My name is Abby. I am a very, very big fan. And I'm going to ask you a two-part question on a topic I'm very, very passionate about, and that would be critical race theory. All right, well.

Okay, so my first question is just your general thoughts and feelings about critical race theory. Very much against it. So people say, what is CRT? Let me do it in like 10 words. It's actually less. Call everything racist until you control it. That's what it is. Call everything racist until you control it. That's seven words. So that's what CRT basically is.

Okay, and the second part is, what would your recommendation be to counteract the implementation of critical race theory in the classroom, particularly in higher education? So higher education is a harder one because there is an argument to be made that you want to have different viewpoints presented. But, yeah, look, I would ask a question first and foremost.

Are you being force-fed CRT, basically? Yeah. Here at ETHU? Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm not too optimistic about your governor's race. Otherwise, you'd get a governor to get rid of it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe something will be a surprise. I'm not too bullish on that one. So what you can do about it, I mean, I personally would not go to a school that offers critical race theory. I think it's a complete waste of time and money, and you're being scammed. That's the case, but that's just me. But...

Yeah, I mean, you should fight it and call it out for the fraud that it is and become an expert on it. There's some amazing writers. James Lindsay is incredible on this. There's New Discourse is a website that's great on this, Cynical Theories. But, yeah, I mean, you can go all the way back to the foundational core of what critical race theory is, which is they believe that racism is normative. They believe it's the systems of oppression. They believe basically if you have white skin color that you are racist inherently even though you don't realize it. And it would be the downfall of America if this were to be implemented.

I completely and totally agree. Fight it and call it what it is, which is bigotry and has no place in America. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hi, Charlie. I'm Ella. I'm just curious, what advice would you give to women who want to have a very active role in being mothers but also have careers? Great question. So as a man, I will give you advice.

I will give you advice that no one will give you, but you'll never forget it, which is we do it all wrong. We say pursue the career first, then the family, but we should say pursue the family first, then the career. And let me prove it to you. Only one of those things runs out. The clock runs out on one of those things. And so doesn't it make more sense to do the thing that the clock is going to run out? Secondly, which one matters more?

Family matters more. So do the thing that matters more earlier, not the thing that matters more later. Now the only argument is, but Charlie, I don't have as much money. Fair enough. But I'll be honest, the amount of money that you have does not equal the amount of joy that you have in parenting. I can say this from somebody who has been around a lot of rich people that are lacking in a lot of joy and a lot of depth, and they have a lot of money, and

The excuses people make to not have kids, not you, is remarkable. And we are the lowest ever rates of fertility in our country's history. And there are a lot of reasons for this. We have told young ladies to prioritize to go become a CEO of a shoe company above having children, if they want to have children. By the way, use your agency. If you guys want to go be a boss babe, go do it, right? You're free country, go do it. However, I will tell you, you might end up miserable. You might.

And the most miserable people in America, by definition, just based on who's getting those psychiatric medication, is young single women in their early 30s. Like half of them are on benzodiazepines, Zoloft, Xanax. And it's fine. I wish them well. But there is a gaping biological urge that is screaming at them, which is, can we reproduce and mother something? And that is why when you walk down downtown Raleigh, you see women at parks with dog strollers.

And there's nothing against, I love dogs, by the way, but there's like the motherly impulse is projected onto the chihuahua. And they're like screaming at the, you know what I'm talking about? And they're screaming at the world like, I want to mother something. I want to steward something. And shame on our society for not saying the most brave thing that you could do is have children. The most heroic thing you can do is bring new life into this world. And people say, oh, I'm just a stay-at-home mom. Oh, you mean you're just a thing that makes the entire world work?

You're just the most important thing? I always laugh when someone says, "Yeah, you know, I'm a data scientist at Dropbox or something." I'm like, "Okay, I don't care, in some dimly lit data center." You know what really is exciting? Is when a homeschool mom comes up to me, she's like, "I have seven kids and we're going for eight." I'm like, "You go?" Like, that's amazing. Which one is the hero? The person earning $200,000 a year slaving away writing code in some dimly lit fluorescent office building?

Or the woman in the back mountains that has, you know, more guns than she can count and a husband that's actually a man that's like raising a colony. I think, again, I want to be very clear. Having children is very hard. It's very hard. We have two kids under two. It is not easy. But it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life. And I can say that. As someone who's done some pretty awesome things at age 31...

I've traveled the world, been in Air Force One a couple times, friendship with the president, right? Been on every possible amazing scenario you can imagine. You know, the wealthiest people on the planet, all that. It is nothing compared to being able to be a father. It is nothing compared to that. It is, I would trade it all in a second. And so you are pursuing emptiness when you are doing that. So I hope that's helpful. Yeah, that's helpful. Thank you so much. So great to meet you. God bless you. Thank you. Have Mormon levels of children, okay?

Hi, Charlie. I'm a really big fan. My name is Ava. And one of the biggest things that I'm worried about is immigration right now. And being that we do have such an open border, I really hope that Trump comes in and takes care of it. But what do you think the plan should be after we get back to the border that we're in?

We need. So number one, we have to deport people that are actively and have committed crimes here on our homeland. And so and the first one is underappreciated. OK, murder, rape, blah, blah, blah. The one that Biden, he got no condemnation for this is that DUIs used to be a deportable offense and it isn't any longer. I've lost friends to drunk drivers.

And if you have committed DUI, you go back to your country of origin immediately. That should be no questions asked. It jeopardizes the safety of everybody. And by the way, just so we're clear, some of these stories you see of these young 12-year-old kids getting mowed over by a drunk illegal, it's like their third or fourth DUI, and they're not getting deported. Then we have to have a process where, number one, we make it very, very hard to be an illegal in this country.

We have to use E-Verify. We have to employ American citizens. We have to crack down on Social Security fraud. And quite honestly, there will be some form of like self-deportation where people go back to their country of origin. And then finally, the 10 million people that came under Joe Biden, as they surfaced, they need to be deported back to their country.

As we discover them, we say, okay, you're going back. There's flights leaving every night out of Charlotte, and here you go. You're going back. Any sane country does that. If you break illegally into Mexico, they send you back to your country. You break into Israel, they send you back to our country. You break into America, you get a luxury hotel, you get a taxpayer-funded cell phone and food benefits. It's time that we put you guys first, not people that broke into our homeland. Thank you.

Hey, Charlie. My name is Carissa. I watch a lot of your content, and one thing that I haven't seen touched a lot that I really wanted your view on was early voting. As you can see, there's a lot of people in here that early vote. Prior to the 2020 election, we have been able to all vote in one day and know who the president is by the end of the day. However, now we have two weeks to vote. You can come in and register the same day and vote the same day, which takes the thought process out of it. Can you register same day here?

Can you really? Wow, I didn't know that. When I turned 18, I went to the Board of Elections and registered because I knew that's my civic duty. That's what I wanted to do.

And I just want to hear your thought on allowing us to two weeks to vote and then some states still saying that by November 5th, they're still not going to know who the president is by the end of the night due to an absurd amount of mail-in ballots. It's an outrage. I will say it's a screwed up system. We have to embrace early voting, and I'm glad that we are because it is screwed up. And let me tell you why. Is that –

If the other side has 30 days to get their voters out and we have one day, they're going to win. They have more opportunities to get people out that might have conflicts, kids getting sick, COVID, flat tires. In Arizona with Kerry Lake's election back in 2022, half of our voting centers just went down.

and we had four hour waiting lines and thousands of people just left line and left the line and went home. So that's number one. Number two is that our movement is so big, it's now very hard to fit all of us in just one day. And here's a good thing.

Think about it. So all these people have basically voted, like the whole room. Well, now you guys can spend your time to go find other voters and bring them to the voting booth. However, we should be very clear. We need to get back to one day. We need a French model of elections. One day of voting, paper ballots, and voter ID. I don't think voting month is good. And you make a very good point. Think about it. So wait. It takes us 30 days to vote in some states like Arizona.

and you still need another two weeks to count the ballots, I think it's wrong and bad for the psyche of a nation that we're not going to know who our next president is for days after. I think it's really bad. I think it's almost like a form of taunting and abuse. Now, selfishly, it's really good for the Charlie Kirk show because we stream and we get like three million people. So make sure you watch on election night, everybody. We're going to be doing our coverage. But yeah, in Arizona, they say it's going to take two weeks.

And then also, the earlier you vote, I feel that the longer that people have to tamper with your vote. How do you feel about that? I personally plan on driving back to my hometown to vote where I registered the day on November 5th, the day of election. I have nothing against that. I will say, though, that people that are lower likelihood to vote, it's better that they vote early than not vote at all. And voting in person is the ideal. In person early voting would be the next. Thank you so much. And I will say one other thing, guys.

which is for those that voted early, imagine if another hurricane hit the state, right? Imagine what that would do to voter turnout. So you were very smart to vote early and bank your vote. God forbid another crazy act comes into the state. So I just want to applaud you for that. Yes, sir. My name is Josh. I'm 40 years old, and I am that –

washed up, just completely broken out kind of person that's on the fringes of society that I've been clawing my life back since 2006. What are we supposed to be doing to reach out to the people who are convicted felons, veterans, people with substance abuse problems? How can we better do that and also

I have your latest bullet, and I was wondering if you'd sign it. I will sign it, yes. Can felons vote in North Carolina? Yes, they can? No? Yes? They can. They can? Because in Arizona, they cannot. It's amazing. In the felon population, they're very, very pro-Trump. Very pro-Trump. We need to do a better job of that. And also just removing, it depends on your crime. I don't know what all, you know, some felonies are worse than others, but I'm happy to sign it, yeah. We need to do a better job of reaching out to that. Thank you. Buy the book, by the way.

Thank you. All right, we'll take two or three more. Any disagreements? No? Yeah? We went through all the libs in ECU? Got it. Hey, Charlie. My name is David. We got one. Oh, look at that. Bring him up. Does he have a Kennedy shirt? That's all right. We'll go here. My name is David. I'm happy to see you here. I got new content about two months ago. I used to avoid it because of the titles and clickbaity stuff.

You've convinced me and enlightened me on a lot of things. From watching a lot of it, though, I did want to get your take on lobbying. I don't really see much about it. To me, though, it seems like legal bribery in a sense. Let me try to have you think about it differently. Is that okay? Yeah. So I would agree on like the war industry pharmaceuticals. But let me give you one example. Mothers Against Drunk Driving is an organization composed of moms who lost their kids to drunk drivers.

When they're lobbying, are they bribing officials? I wouldn't necessarily say bribing. No, for sure. You'd be amazed at how many lobbying groups...

This is why it's hard to outlaw. Because I agree, the stuff that gets the headlines is naked corruption. It's awful and it's terrible. Because you get people like big tech. No, for sure. But it's hard to say we can't lobby because it is First Amendment protected. Let's say you and I have an environmental issue and there's like an oil spill in North Carolina. Shouldn't we have a right to form an organization and go up to North Carolina and lobby Tom Tillis and Ted Budd? You know what I mean? And that's technically lobbying.

And it's good. Let me give... You're conservative, I would imagine-ish. Yeah, I am. I think it's a good thing that we previously... The NRA is going through a tough time, but we have, you know, gun lobbying. I think it's good that those rights are protected, right? However, here's the bigger issue, because the mother against drunk driving is not the issue.

The bigger issue is money in politics. That's the bigger issue, is that we need some sort of, and I agree with the Young Turk people with this, there's something bad to the psyche of the country. If you have candidates, I get you have to cut deals, but if you are overemphasizing who's funding your campaign more than the people that are going to vote for you, the system is broken.

And Donald Trump, he, like, doesn't care. I mean, he says whatever he wants. And so we need some sort of sensible bipartisan campaign finance reform. Right. And that's why I appreciate what Trump does because he doesn't accept the big pharma lobbyists. That's right. But to me it just feels, I guess in politics, it almost feels disingenuous of a politician because their stances then start to stray more towards what the lobbyists want rather than knowing what's true to what that lobbyist wants.

say, a presidential candidate could feel. Like Trump is an exception. So I want to be clear. You're right. So how do you outlaw it?

There's really not a great solution unless you do this. Here's the best solution that I've heard. That you need to fix who can donate to campaigns. So you should say if you're a registered lobbyist, you can't donate to a campaign. Number two, fix who can donate to political action committees. So basically what you need to do, you need to say if you're a lobbyist or associated lobbying, we put you on an island. Like you have no ability to influence these candidates. That would put them on ice for a while. Does that make sense? So if you're a lobbyist for Pfizer, right?

For example, which made a lot of the shots that you guys are mandated. You can't give money to politics. That would change things. So thank you for the kind words, man. God bless you. Thank you. Kennedy shirt. I love it. How you doing, man? I just want to start by saying I really like the community you've cultivated. I actually like you a lot.

My question is about DEI. I know your stance is negative on it, right? And I would agree with you that giving somebody a job on the basis of race, the color of your skin, is absolutely unconstitutional. I would completely agree with you.

Now, the gray area I have, which the disagreement is why I came to the front here, has been seeded in me by family members. I have two blind aunts and a blind mother. They have a genetic disorder. Have you ever heard of the Randolph-Shepard Act? Sorry, I'm having difficulty hearing you just because of the speakers. I heard you have a blind mother. Is that right? Yeah, I have a blind mother and two blind aunts. It's a rare genetic disease. But have you ever heard of the Randolph-Shepard Act?

No. No. Okay. It's a federal act that gives priority to blind people to work in federal government positions, not necessarily within the federal government, but contracting. My mother, she does vending machine work at Fort Bragg, and now it's Fort Liberty. I think that's beautiful. And let me tell you why the distinction. But I think we could also find agreement. I don't think that, and this will sound a little cruel, but hear me out, your blind mother should be flying F-16s.

Well, of course. I mean, like, just giving them... So under the act, they have priority to maintain their privately owned business, which is subsidized through the state through the Services for the Blind and the North Carolina Lions Club. But basically, it gives her the right to maintain that ownership of her own business without being kicked out from Starbucks or something. Do you want to ask the question on top of it? Because I have a thought on this. So my question is, this concern... I'm going to vote for Trump. No, no, no. Yeah, I got it. My concern is...

Brought to me through my aunt. She is completely against Trump. She wants to overcome it for that very reason. She thinks that because of diversity, equity, inclusion, it will be found unconstitutional, that act in particular. No, no, no, no. So this is important. So the criteria that we are against at DEI is characteristics that do not matter or impact. For example, skin color.

We find skin color to be irrelevant to somebody's character or performance, intellect or value. Now, I will say that when you look at characteristics that should be factored in, or at least given an advantage for, is disabilities. So we're very pro-helping people with disabilities. However, in order to say that DEI is the same as helping people that are blind, your aunt would have to be saying that black people have a disability, which I know she's not saying.

Right? Right, of course. So she's not saying that, and maybe if you connect those dots, she would probably take a step back. The reason that that will never be found unconstitutional is disability protections have always been found constitutional. Whereas when it's presented in front of the Supreme Court, the skin color criteria, by definition, our laws are supposed to be skin color neutral.

Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And that's something that I tried to talk to her about, but she raised these questions in me. It's a good question. It seemed to me that it's sort of a gray area with that law in particular. Just think about characteristics that...

we should care about and that we shouldn't care about. Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. And so skin color we shouldn't care about. If somebody has a disability, we have a moral obligation to try to give them a hand up. If somebody is wheelchair bound, if somebody is blind, as you say, or deaf, then I think it is in the very basic need that we can to help those people. So thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. I was going to say, I'm driving all three of them to the polls on Tuesday.

I love it. Three of us, I know, will be voting for Trump. Great. Thank you. Hi, Charlie. Thank you for being here. I've been watching you since I was 14 years old, so it's great to finally see you. We are going through one of the worst periods of cultural rot we've ever seen in this country and, frankly, some of the worst in Western civilization. The people in the highest positions of power have decided to invert that good is evil and evil is good. There's so many times that, especially being my age, I'm only 21 years old, it's so hard to see a future in this country and it's so hard to...

It's just hard to see what's happening. How do we fight back against this cultural rot that's so intentional and deliberate? There's only one answer, and that's Jesus Christ. The answer to all of our... And that's the only answer. And...

When you do not, and you said it, and I don't know if you did it intentionally or not, but it's brilliant. Isaiah said, woe to you who calls good evil and evil good. When you remove the belief in the transcendent and God, then there is no absolute morality, and that will be the death of the West. We need a political victory on Tuesday so that we can lead towards a spiritual revival the next week and in the next year after that. Thank you very much. Thank you.

This will be the final question. Yeah, make it good. In fact, this is the last question of our whole tour. So you better not swing and miss, man. Hey, Charlie. My name's Jay. I skipped the whole college phase and turned out to be one of the best decisions. I like you already, so this is going. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm more successful than anyone ever thought I'd be at 20 years old. And my question is, I work with...

lower class people and some of the highest class people you can deal with. And how would I approach people who are closed-minded about and try and get them out to vote? Because some of them are immigrants and some of them are just closed-minded who drank the Kool-Aid. You need to ask questions. Say, do you care about what happens to your country? Do you care about, do you think what you do actually matters? Everybody, this is a great closing question because if we do not have

historic turnout on Tuesday, then we're not going to win. And I'll be honest with you, I'm encouraged but a little worried that so many hands went up of people that voted because you guys are what would be considered high propensity voters. So we have a lot of work to do ahead of Tuesday to make sure that the people that don't go to these rallies actually end up voting.

And so I'm glad you guys voted because now I don't have to worry about you going to go vote or, you know, getting sick or whatever. But if we don't do a good job to go find another two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten people and just sit it out, Kamala is going to become president. And you guys know this state is razor thin right now. It is. How much money are they? How many ads have you guys seen? Too many, right? Exactly. Exactly.

This state will be won or lost based on the extra friend you bring to the polls. And let me just tell you guys, on Tuesday when you wake up, has in-person early voting continued or is it over now? It's still going? Well, then every single day you guys should be trying to bring people out to the polls. Let me give you some advice. You know, take a picture of yourself at an event and text it to 100 people in your phone. Be like, have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted?

And this is the time to go absolutely nuts for your country, everybody, because the bad guys are giving everything we can and we can too. Thank you so much for your question. Thank you. All right, guys, we need to win this state. Do everything you can to drive turnout. It would be amazing to see Eastern Carolina University be a little red precinct. How about that? Let's make this area red. God bless you guys and thank you so much. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
