Hey, Charlie. Thank you. Got great respect for you and Turning Point. And just, it's really changing. everything about the party and MAGA. And there's a lot of work that needs to be done in Idaho. So I just say that, you know, the lives of my youngest daughter and son will never be the same. You can hear the emotion in my voice a little bit after the tyrannical COVID lockdowns.

0

207.679 - 225.344 Scott

And this means that I will do whatever it takes to ensure our red state Republican senators in Idaho confirm President Trump's cabinet nominees. We have to hold those accountable for the suffering, and we have to stop them from sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. So I really would like to know What is your strategy for Idaho?

Well, first of all, I just love that. I love Idaho. And I want to say, number one, Rish is up in this cycle. And so let me just ask you as an Idahoan, what do you think of Rish? Does he work the state a lot? Is he well-liked? Is it somebody that you think is really in touch with the people of Idaho? Tell me, just as an Idahoan.

250.535 - 268.929 Scott

So I've met him personally in some of the government affairs work I've done. And just by saying this in Idaho, I'm now on a blacklist because nobody wants to go up against these red state rhinos who've been in the Senate so long. He is arrogant. He is out of touch. You go in for a meeting with him in his office. He doesn't really ask you for anything.

0
💬 0

268.989 - 290.03 Scott

He takes you to an adjoining office with a background of a Capitol photo. And he says, oh, here, we'll take a photo. He shakes your hand and then he leaves. And I really believe that with your support, we could primary him. I mean, you've got a congressman here, Russ Vulture, who's in the Freedom Caucus. He's 62 years old, and he's somebody who could successfully take on Rish.

if there is not abrupt changes from these sitting Republicans, and if they keep on sending money to Ukraine while we're being invaded on the southern border, in these deep red states, and I hope you understand, I hope everyone in the audience understands, and Scott, you do too, these are for deep, deep red states. We're not doing this in Maine.

331.127 - 346.692 Charlie Kirk

We're not doing this where we might lose a Senate seat. Idaho is comfortably red, okay? It is comfortably red. And you have someone like Russ Fulcher, who would be a game-changer, Scott, do you think that the Republican primary voters in Idaho would be welcome to such a primary challenge?

0
💬 0

347.37 - 370.043 Scott

One hundred percent. And let me but let me share two ideas with you that are very important. And you're very pragmatic, which is another reason I enjoy listening to your show, is that you've talked about the big blue cities. We must go beyond Boise. They're real voters are the rural voters. People in the rural areas distrust Boise. We have to engage them. Idaho State University.

0
💬 0

370.063 - 381.892 Scott

I don't know if you've been there yet, but that's in eastern Idaho. Without an event there, I really believe that the rural voters will feel alienated. What was the school again you said? Idaho State University. It's in Pocatello, Idaho.

0

381.912 - 387.236 Charlie Kirk

Yeah, I have been there. I have been there. Yeah, Pocatello. I have been there actually many, many years ago.

0
💬 0

387.836 - 413.095 Scott

Yeah. We have to engage these rural voters. Take two days to come to Idaho. The other important point is don't forget the Mormons. Over 20% of Idaho residents are Mormon. Senator Crapo is Mormon. So let me mention this. just an hour away from idaho state university is byu idaho if you have an event there you will demand senator crapo's attention you will get the mormon's attention just

413.956 - 415.337 Scott

That alone will change everything.

0

415.697 - 434.089 Charlie Kirk

So to answer your question, we are going to be doing some campus events. We might do an event, depending on the behavior of Crapo and Risch and their posture towards President Trump's nominees in January. We might end up doing a Give Trump His Cabinet event, but we need to pick our, we need to, we're definitely going to Louisiana with Mr. Cassidy.

0
💬 0

434.69 - 454.186 Charlie Kirk

And for that little tour, we're going to test the waters here. But look, if you voted to give money to Ukraine and turn the back on the necessary, uh, will of the voters. We're not, we're not going to, uh, we're not going to allow that to happen. So you're very well spoken, Scott. Um, I want our team. Yep. Please, please. One last thought.

0
💬 0

454.406 - 472.223 Scott

Yeah. You had Mark Halperin on earlier. He, um, asked me a question on his two way platform about a week ago. It was very important. His response, uh, So I've been to Russia 50 times. I worked at the European Bank for Reconstruction Development in London. Let me tell you, that is the deepest state of all. We have to get rid of those.

0
💬 0

472.844 - 491.984 Scott

And what I talked about, Mark, was and I said, Mark, presumption of grace. You know, there are people who understand that Russia is not a threat to the United States. And for the first time, I heard a mainstream reporter say, you know what? I know very smart people on both sides of the aisle. that understand that Russia isn't a threat. So I just wanted to throw that in there.

0
💬 0

492.004 - 501.728 Scott

I mean, I will do whatever I can to help you in Idaho. I will leave my job right now. I just would love to be part of your team in Idaho. I think I've got some good ideas. So please keep that in mind.

501.808 - 519.476 Charlie Kirk

I love it. Daisy's going to get me your contact information. I want to pick your brain. I also... Maybe you can help me get to Russ Fulcher. I'm sure I can get that done. But we want to get this organized. And look, we have to be reasonable. We are not here as bomb throwers. We're not bombastic. We're not here to start interparty fights unnecessarily.

Perfect. We barely escaped it out last time and turned a little bit blue, but not in our rural areas again, just like most people. My question is about the Surgeon General pick and Pam Bondi. Do you think that their previous stances are valid with Bondi being the red flag law and the Surgeon General with COVID and all of the lockdowns?

0
💬 0

579.441 - 596.029 Charlie Kirk

That's a good question. I don't know how to answer that. Again, you're never going to get everything you want in a candidate. I'm going to let Pam Bondi answer that for herself. I'm against red flag laws, but just Pam Bondi has a phenomenal upside. She's a terrific person. She's tough. She's smart. She'd have to answer for that.

0
💬 0

596.049 - 614.102 Charlie Kirk

I don't know the details of it, but if she is in favor of red flag laws, I'm not. And so that would just be one of those instances where we don't align on everything. And that's OK, because she's great on lawfare. She's great on so many different things. So and then as far as the surgeon general pick, I'm on a different planet of a worldview than her. But that's the president's decision.

0
💬 0

614.423 - 629.294 Charlie Kirk

And we will allow the president to choose his cabinet as he sees fit. But do not see the do not see the world the way she does. That's for sure. Thank you, Julie. Really appreciate it. William. William is next. William, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind?

So such as returning to the gold standard or special drawing rights? Is that what you're talking about?

0
💬 0

648.904 - 674.661 William

No. Actually, Bill Still of the Still Report has been in the movement for about 30 years, and he's done a number of documentaries, and he has a plan to use U.S. notes instead of Federal Reserve notes for reducing the national debt. And this is something that Abraham Lincoln actually did for paying the Civil War instead of taking on new debt.

738.375 - 768.871 William

So the issue is, is the Federal Reserve was formed in 1913, correct? It was formed by an act of Congress, and they actually were delegated the ability to issue our currency as Federal Reserve notes. Now, back in the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln used what is called U.S. notes or greenbacks to pay for the Civil War without having to go to the banks to borrow money.

0
💬 0

769.832 - 788.696 William

So the idea is that as a sovereign country, we should be able to issue our own currency without having to borrow it and increase the national debt. The currency should be managed by Congress and the US Treasury.

0
💬 0

789.877 - 797.501 Charlie Kirk

So what you're saying is eliminate the Federal Reserve and give control of the currency directly from the US Treasury and Congress. Is that essentially what you're saying?

0
💬 0

798.282 - 802.764 Blake

Yes. But does that do anything to wipe out the debt that currently exists?

0
💬 0

803.805 - 837.859 William

So – What would happen is this is Bill Stills' plan of the stillreport.com. He's actually done three documentaries on it. One is The Money Masters. The other is The Secret of Oz. And the other is Jekyll Island. And the plan is that you would use these U.S. notes to pay off – the bonds as they become due because a good portion of our bonds are short term notes, thanks to Janet Yellen.

0
💬 0

838.9 - 874.599 William

And instead of paying them off by incurring new debt, you instead would pay off the notes, pay off the bonds with these U.S. notes, which would look very similar to to Federal Reserve notes, except it says US notes at the top, and it has a red seal on the currency instead of a green seal. And it's issued by Congress rather than borrowed into existence.

0
💬 0

874.619 - 899.434 William

Because right now, banks can just create money out of thin air, private banks. That's how money is generally created. And What Bill Still is saying is that we should, as a sovereign country, we should be issuing our own currency as we need to, as we need it, without relying on central banks. Got it. Private central banks.

921.041 - 940.536 Charlie Kirk

That is a good question. We've got to be thinking about that, Charlie. It's been a month. I can't have a month off. So can you educate us, Thomas? When is the governor's race? What is going on with that? I think it's coming up this November, right?

0
💬 0

941.314 - 957.404 Thomas

Yeah, so we have three primary candidates, Cittarelli, Spadia, and some other guy, but I'm for Spadia. So, because Cittarelli said he's non-supporter Trump or whatever.

958.001 - 978.579 Charlie Kirk

Got it. So these off-election years can be very important. The Democrats have this Politico article, six rock star Democrats that could be the next governor of New Jersey. And it's as nauseating as you could imagine. But look, as far as to get involved. Honestly, if you're 18, go straight up to their campaign headquarters, the candidate you like and say, I want to volunteer.

978.639 - 994.83 Charlie Kirk

I'm going to go knock on doors. I'll make phone calls. I'll do whatever you ask. And from there, you can start to cut your teeth in politics. Look, New Jersey does remain a blue living state with not over 900,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. But no one here is ruling out a Republican victory. It can happen. It was very, very close.

Yeah, I just wanted to bring up an idea. that's been twirling around in my head. And I was thinking, how could we get rid of, of, of porn is such a, such a bad, not get rid of it. Cause you know, you can never get rid of something like that. But maybe we can do a fight like, like what the surgeon general did with cigarettes, right.

0
💬 0

1065.349 - 1082.513 Unknown

Where they, where they put, Hey, you know, smoking cigarettes could, could be damaging for your health and all that stuff. Maybe have a surgeon general warning that, in front of all porn videos that say, you know, watching porn could be detrimental to your health, to your mental health.

Addiction could lead to certain problems. I know that, you know, it could be a long shot, but I know that all of you guys up there at the Charlie Kirk show peddled influence pretty well. And I thought, hey, might as well shout this idea to you and see what you thought.

0
💬 0

1098.304 - 1109.732 Charlie Kirk

It's a great idea. That is actually a fascinating idea I haven't thought about because I think – and Blake is here. Can the Surgeon General do that unilaterally or does that take an act of Congress, Blake? I mean that's a very interesting question, isn't it?

0
💬 0

1110.113 - 1122.782 Blake

I would not know off the top of my head. I don't – I feel like the Surgeon General's role is primarily advisory-based. But I guess I don't know how they originally put that, like, on tobacco, for example.

0
💬 0

1122.822 - 1146.602 Charlie Kirk

No, no, but, I mean, there are Surgeon General warnings on certain products. So look that up. Very smart point. Look, as far as the number one thing that we can do and that we should do is that we should have robust age verification. Now, I can't remember the status of this because Texas required age verification and then Pornhub canceled all of their services in Texas. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah.

0

1146.682 - 1148.543 Charlie Kirk

They also did that in Utah. Is that ongoing?

0

1149.124 - 1161.617 Blake

There's ongoing. So I don't know the case of that legal case. I just wanted to throw out a very interesting idea. I remember hearing from a friend of mine and it might have we might have even talked about this. It might have it might have actually been a right wing revolution now that I think about it.

0
💬 0

1162.177 - 1184.236 Blake

But it was imagine if a site if you required them to charge for it and it could even be one penny. but you have to charge, which means it has to go on a credit card that you own. And that by itself just massively increases the hurdle, I think, for a lot of people towards using that product. And so there's so many different things you could do.

0
💬 0

1184.556 - 1194.444 Blake

I don't know specifically on whether the Surgeon General could just order it because I think, at least in California, I know they have that requirement where they have all those warnings for cancer. I think they need to allow for that.

0
💬 0

1194.464 - 1216.511 Charlie Kirk

No, it's very interesting. Somebody recently gave me, and they're very nice, the sunglasses that Facebook has, Meta. They're the Meta Ray-Bans. And on the back of the Meta Ray-Ban container is a California general warning saying that these might give you cancer. And it's like pretty big, actually. It's like pretty big.

1216.551 - 1240.487 Charlie Kirk

It says state of California law requires that you know that these glasses might give you cancer. So I don't know if I want to wear these anymore. Anyway, so to get back to our member here, a friend here. Great question. And I'm sorry. No. Manny. Manny. Sorry. Manny Marshall. I got two names here. Manny. Age verification is the fight. That is the fight is that we must.

1241.688 - 1260.318 Charlie Kirk

You do not have a constitutional right if you're 15 or 16 years old. to watch pornography. I'm sorry. That's just ridiculous. There should be robust age protections and we could proceed from there. But I think a much more open, um, public health discussion about how pornography is bad for the health of a nation is 100% legitimate.

0
💬 0

1260.799 - 1281.468 Charlie Kirk

Now I do cringe a little bit though at some public health discussions because they're going to use this to ban firearms. I'm telling you, Blake will agree that they've already started to say that firearm deaths are a public health emergency. Um, which is ridiculous. And so you have to be a little careful as far as how it could be extrapolated to other policy measures.

1281.869 - 1304.728 Charlie Kirk

But pornography is poison to our society and culture. I'm not for overall banning things. I don't like a heavy hand of government if it's not totally necessary. So I think an immediate step is robust age verification. All right. Thank you so much. Folks, your halls are decked with holly, and the sound of Andy Williams on the radio tells us to be of good cheer.

But often the joy of the season is lost in the hustle and bustle. That's why my friends at Hillsdale College produced a free online course on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Miracle.

Okay. Is there any breakout session to assist blue states like Oregon to organize and organize act or do similar to that you did in swing states? Or do you have future plans to help us blue states turn red? Because I think Oregon was the trial balloon for mail-in ballots. And ever since we've had mail-in ballots, no Republican major or major player in Oregon has been a Republican.

So I just I'm thrilled you're coming because as a member, AmFest is way better as a member and it's good as it is. So as far as the breakout sessions, let me just read some of these to you. Some might apply to you. We have faith in action, faith in America. We have a deep dive into the 2024 election results. The mom vote securing America's future. Gen Z, the great American tomorrow.

We have the story of how we left the left from people that form on the left. Blue collar conservatism. We have We Are the Media, Dismantling DEI, Chasing America's Catholics. This one that might actually apply to you, voter registration across America. We have Vamos, Chasing the American Latino Vote. We have Deep State Arabella by Tyler Boyer.

We have the King's Council, Faith, Law and Policy, Legal Impact Under the Trump Administration. We also have one with Turning Point Academy. So I don't know if any of those speak to you directly, but breakouts are a huge part of AmFest. The voter registration one in particular, I think might be helpful. And also just diagnosing and dissecting the 2024 results.

Super thrilled you're coming, Marshall. Come find me. Wear your Ducks hat. And my current schedule is that if Oregon makes the Cotton Bowl, we're going to probably go to the Cotton Bowl. Blake is just cringing. Can I get a live shot of Blake right now rolling his eyes? I can feel it from Phoenix. See, this is Blake. It's so confusing. Oregon's in the Rose Bowl. I will not be going to that.

Hey, Charlie. How are you doing? Good. How are you? I'm doing great. Can't complain. It's a beautiful day. So my question was, being a Christian, straight, white male, and a Republican, conservative, whatever you want to say, it seems like it's getting harder and harder to actually land a job in the United States. And that's not just happening in California.

1594.445 - 1608.465 Unknown

I feel like that's happening in the majority of the U.S. So I was wondering, what can we do, if anything, to push back against this and make it so, you know, being a Christian or being a Republican isn't negative in searching for a job?

So first of all, I think that it is changing, but it's not there yet. If you really want to find a good job where that is not the case, I'm going to give you some advice that I'm sure you've thought of that you're not going to love. You need to leave the state of California. Just the state of California is really a – it is a diseased place as far as where this wokeism, this DEI is.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The regime and corporate culture, it is amazing because what we've seen over time is so much of a fusion of like the left's values in government and then the left's values in the corporate world. And there's so much more overlap between them.

And you meet so many people who are like fossilized in amber and they just – they think of jokes from the 1960s where it's like, oh, people in business are Republicans. And you still run into this with the Chamber of Commerce stuff where they just think, oh, like people who are in business must be conservative Republicans. And the answer to that very often is no, and we have –

a lot of cultural issues to overcome in the corporate world. And we're only just seeing the beginnings of that with what was unleashed by Elon Musk, what was unleashed with so many other forces. And it's like we have to almost reclaim government so that we can show that it is safe to change how private enterprise operates.

As you know, Senator Cotton, Bozeman are – my representatives for Arkansas. And I mean, starting out, I was a huge Cotton supporter. I had a lot of faith in him. Since then, he's voted what I feel like is against Make America Great Again. And I've just, I have tried contacting him and Bozeman. And at first they would respond. Now they quit responding to me.

Mm hmm. So let's start on Cotton. So let me start with the disagreement, then I'll get to the agreement, because there's a lot of good with Cotton. I'm on different worldview planets with Senator Cotton on foreign policy. He is a neoconservative. There's just no other way to put it. He has learned better than a lot of neocon Republicans.

He could have been even more aggressive like Lindsey Graham, but he is definitely a neoconservative. And that is not a pejorative. That is an insult. That is an accurate description. However, I would say this, Cody. Tom Cotton is excellent on immigration and he's excellent on crime. Those are two things he's very, very good on.

Remember, he was the one that was publicly encouraging President Trump to use the Insurrection Act against all the Floyd riots in 2020, something President Trump probably actually should have done. He wrote the op-ed in The New York Times and it started all this backlash. So Tom Cotton, his stances on Russia, Ukraine and other conflicts, I just I don't share them at all.

However, domestically, he's been very, very good on immigration and crime. I can't say that about Bozeman. I've never met him. I have no relationship with him. He is also a neocon, but he does not, under any voting pattern record or public commentary, strike me as somebody who's quote unquote good on any issue. So Tom Cotton, I think...

We're just not going to have the same views on America First or on foreign policy, but definitely very strong. And I will say this. Senator Cotton always texts me back. He's always very polite, very open to feedback, open to disagreements, whereas Bozeman never met him. Thank you, Cody. Merry Christmas. Thanks for your support. Thank you. Let's do this.

Please continue to rally us and provide direction to continue this conservative movement in future elections. Yeah, look, I mean, Rush was Rush. He is the legend. He is the greatest.
