Final Thoughts

This episode encapsulates the contemporary right’s mixture of concern over national security, Western values, skepticism of mainstream institutions, and anxieties about internal division. The discussions combine global affairs, local politics, culture, and individual stories into a narrative about both defending and redefining American identity and sovereignty.

For listeners new to the episode:
You'll find insightful commentary on issues from Ukraine to urban policing, the Republican Party, the role of Islam in the West, and personal stories about overcoming adversity. The show foregrounds the perceived existential stakes facing the country and the West more broadly, aiming to inform, persuade, and mobilize.

[Andrew Colvett]

The Charlie Kirk show starts now. If anybody in the chain of command.

[Scott Jennings]

Anybody asks you to do something that's.

[Andrew Colvett]

Illegal, not only are. Not only should you not do it.

[Scott Jennings]

You'Re actually required not to do it. And the President's first instinct is to politicize this, to threaten political violence on members of the United States Congress on the heels, I mean, just two months ago that Charlie Kirk was assassinated and he talked about political violence, and now his instinct is to call for execution.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

President Trump say to you, did he assure you he will not send troops into New York?

[Scott Jennings]

He told me that he cared deeply about public safety. I said I cared deeply about safety.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

But he didn't send troops.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

But he did.

[Scott Jennings]

What I told him is that what separates New York City from anywhere else in the country, country, is we have the nypd, and I trust the NYPD to deliver public safety. And to me, that is something that I know that they can do, that they have done and will continue to do under my leadership.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

So he didn't rule it out in anything.

[Scott Jennings]

I made it very clear what we wanted to do is deliver public safety and affordability. The NYPD would be the ones to do so.

[Andrew Colvett]

Right before the election, President Trump threatened.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

To withhold federal funding from New York City if Mamdani were elected.

[Scott Jennings]

Was that just all bluster?

[News/Commentary Analyst]

He didn't mean it.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, it feels like he doesn't mean, mean it now. And I guess we'll have to wait and see what Mamdani does. And New York always feels like the safety is on the edge. And so the fact that Mamdani has. The mayor has agreed to keep the police commissioner.

[Scott Jennings]

Is this kind of sign that maybe he'll be able to work together with President Trump.

[Andrew Colvett]

We're sure hopeful that we can.

[Terrence Bates]

We've just had a great meeting, a really good, very productive meeting. We have one thing in common.

[Andrew Colvett]

We want this city of ours that.

[Terrence Bates]

We love to do very well. And I wanted to congratulate the mayor. He really ran an incredible race against, you know, a lot of smart people, starting with the early primaries, against some very tough people, very smart people. And he beat them, and he beat them easily.

[Scott Jennings]

I have never watched a public meeting, even with Putin.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

Trump didn't go on for as long where he lavished that much praise, affection and admiration on anyone. Trump was obviously in love with.

[Scott Jennings]

With Mamdani the whole time, and he's tracking his polls.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

He says, you were at 1 and then 4 and then 9.

[Scott Jennings]

He's obviously been.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

Been following his meteoric rise. And the guy is sitting there saying, you can call me a fascist. Or a desperate. You just answer the question. I mean, I've never seen him sort of care for his children, his vice.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

President or his cabinet's credibility the way.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

He seemed committed to honoring Mom. Donnie's credibility.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

No, I've never seen him do that.

[Andrew Colvett]

About your comment calling the president a.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Fascist and your answer was both President.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Trump and I have been clear about.

[Andrew Colvett]

Our positions and our views.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

Are you affirming that you think President.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Trump is a fascist?

[Andrew Colvett]

I've spoken about.

[Terrence Bates]

That's okay.

[Andrew Colvett]

You can just say yes.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

Okay.

[Terrence Bates]

It's easier. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind.

[Andrew Colvett]

And I've been called much worse than a despot, so that it's not that insulting. Maybe.

[Terrence Bates]

I think he'll change his mind after.

[Andrew Colvett]

We get to working together. He wants to have a safe New York.

[Terrence Bates]

Ultimately, a safe New York is going to be a great New York. If it's not safe, no matter how well we do with pricing and with anything else, we can talk about anything you want. If you don't have safe streets, it's.

[Andrew Colvett]

Not going to be a success.

[Terrence Bates]

So we're going to work together. We're going to make sure that if they're horrible people there, we want to get them out. I think he wants to get. Get them out maybe more than I do.

[Andrew Colvett]

So we'll work together. We discussed it at great length.

[Terrence Bates]

Yes, please.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

You're continuing this idea of race based property taxes?

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

No.

[Scott Jennings]

To be very clear, no.

[Andrew Colvett]

The use of the term was a.

[Scott Jennings]

Description of neighborhoods, not a description of intent.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

So you intend to tax the whiter neighborhoods more?

[Andrew Colvett]

No, we intend to create a fair.

[Scott Jennings]

Property tax system because we want a New York City that is not only fair and equitable, but also one that.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Every New York can afford.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Just be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?

[Scott Jennings]

And after President Trump said that, I said yes.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

So you do.

[Scott Jennings]

And that's something that I've said in the past. I say it today.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

And you've called him a despot. Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy?

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Everything that I've said in the past.

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

I continue to believe.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

How do you square working with someone who you still think is a threat to the democracy?

[Scott Jennings]

I think working for the people of New York City demands that you work with everyone and anyone, that you always look to find those areas of agreement while not overlooking the places of disagreement.

[Terrence Bates]

He's going to change also. We all change. I change a lot. Change a lot from when I first came to office. It's now quite a while ago.

[Andrew Colvett]

I feel very confident that he can do a very good job.

[Terrence Bates]

I think, I think he's going to be. I think he is going to surprise some conservative people actually and we're going to be helping him to make everybody's dream come true. Having a strong and very safe New York.

100% American made and darn proud of it. The Charlie Kirk show. All right, welcome back, everybody. I want to tell you about our partners over at Y Reef. I just saw them actually at the Erica Megyn Kelly event, which we were just talking about in the break that apparently all the women. Jack, are talking about Erica's comment on wanting to have four kids. I was there. I saw the Y Refi guys there. They're amazing. Amazing patriots, as a matter of fact. So if you have private student loan that is labeled as distressed or defaulted that others won't touch, yrefi is here to help. They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay. Why? Refi is not a debt settlement company. And they work with each borrower individually, tailoring each loan to your ability to pay in your specific situation. That's the key. You will not be calling a faceless call center. Yrefi can reduce your monthly payment and guarantees interest rates under 6%, ensuring affordability and financial relief. Yrefi does not care what your credit score is. So that's huge. Bad credit is accepted. You can even skip a payment every six months up to 12 times. It's pretty amazing without penalty. So just call 888 yrefi34. 888-yrefi34. Or log on to yrefi.com that's yre fy.com check them out. I'm going to play the clip here. It's play cut 93. All the women are talking about it. 93.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

You told me this in private, but.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

How many kids did you guys want to have? We wanted to have four. Yeah. And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered. Oh, wow. I thought of that once. Just like whether it was meant to be or whether we. I know we'd get news like that. I was like, oh, goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe. I was praying. Both of us were.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

We.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

We were really excited to just expand our family. Thank God you have the two. I know. Thank God.

[Andrew Colvett]

You know, girl, I know. Yeah, it was a powerful moment. You know, I was kind of like side stage and I, you know, I just never wanted to bring that type of stuff up with Erica. So it was news to me as well. Going to welcome back national radio in two seconds.

[Terrence Bates]

All right.

[Andrew Colvett]

Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Got Jack Posobic and Blake Neff in studio with me. Andrew Colvett, executive producer of the show. I want to play some clips here from the Russia, Ukraine negotiations. This is Rubio and Yermak and they are issuing statements after the first round of negotiations. Play cut 90.

[Scott Jennings]

So it is in my personal view.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

That we've had probably the most productive.

[Andrew Colvett]

And meaningful meeting so far in this.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Entire process since we've been involved in from the beginning. We have a very good work product.

[Scott Jennings]

That was already built on a foundation.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Of input from all the relative parties involved here. And we were able to go through.

[Scott Jennings]

Some of those items now point by.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Point, and I think we've made good progress.

[Andrew Colvett]

So he's saying it's the most productive and meaningful meeting so far. And that was Andriy Yermak, who's the head of the Ukrainian delegation to Geneva. So those meetings were happening in Geneva. You know what's an interesting piece of this, by the way, is that a lot of people are speculating this 28 point peace plan was actually drafted in Russian because it looks to be that we mentioned that. Yeah, translated over.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

But that, I think that's just because when Axios got it, they got it from the Russians. So we're probably in Russian. But I, my understanding was that. And Rubio came out and said, this.

[Andrew Colvett]

Is the US yes, he said it.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Says it right there.

[Andrew Colvett]

No, he said it was the U.S. the U.S. version. Go ahead.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

What stands out to me about certainly the US Plan is they'll complain that it's too pro Russian. Although I would just note, if you're going to oppose a plan that is pro Russian, I feel you need a plan for, okay, is Ukraine going to win the war? Are we going to go until every Ukrainian is dead so you can feel really morally righteous or over their pile of corpses? Are you going to step up to pay for it forever? That should be the question to Europe, if they want it to go forever, or are you going to deploy your own troops? Exactly like you have to ask those questions. Otherwise you're again, you're just demanding that every Ukrainian die for your sake. Because this has been the issue, right, is that we keep backfilling. We, when I say we, the West, EU, US, etc. Technology, drones, intelligence, etc. But nobody's actually sent troops. And the problem is, is that you can use those drones. You can, you can, you know, hit Russia in the backfield, target energy, infrastructure, things like this. But you know what you can't do? Capture and hold terrain. And only men can do that. You need men for that. You just. And, and that would be the biggest escalation of sending actual troops. And at that point, which nobody wants, you're dangerously close to the big escalation that we never wanted. So what stands out to me in the US Plan is it is a serious bid to say we are attempting to normalize relations with Russia after effectively a 20 year new cold war with them, if you will. Here's the question that I think, and I don't know if we mentioned it, there is this question about, and Bannon's brought it up, the security guarantee for Ukraine. Right. Is that like an Article 5 guarantee or.

[Andrew Colvett]

But I wanted other stuff.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Other stuff, though, it's that Russia gets reintegrated into the global economy, so we stop the endless sanctions. That's also why you frankly recognize the territorial change, so that there is a set mutually agreed upon border between the two. Instead of. What stands out with the European plan is they don't want to acknowledge this. They want to continue that frozen conflict attitude that we had before this war where, okay, you, you occupy this land, but we're not acknowledging it. So it's a potential flashpoint whenever we want it. I mean, a couple months ago, people were saying when, you know, I remember I went to Alaska when, when Trump had to sit down with Putin, and Putin came over and, you know, but then it all kind of unraveled after that, and they announced this Budapest thing, but then it never really got off the ground. And a lot of people were saying, hey, and Ukraine really wasn't agreeing to anything. At that point, Zelinsky came in and like, look, we had the meeting, but you didn't agree to it. So people are saying that an armistice might be the only thing possible at that point. So the fact that Ukraine is on board with this and we are seeing the Russians be on board with this, I think that actually speaks credibility to, or gives credibility to what Rubio is saying, that actually there's a real possibility for a deal here.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, and it strikes me, Blake, to your point is that the only way to have this be a lasting peace is if you officially recognize the ground that Russia has, has gained in this, in this long, bloody war.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Maybe there's some portion of it, maybe there's a counter proposal they can make that seeds some of it back or, or something.

[Scott Jennings]

But.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, but, but to your point, it's. Look, we have to understand that Putin sees this as his legacy, you know, basically, you know, reverting the, the, the errors and the sins of his predecessors in the 90s. And when the, when the USSR fell and so he wants to at least you have to give him something is my my read on this and I think it's a realistic. Yes.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

And say, you know, we did all this and this is what we got.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, you got to also understand that Putin is propped up by oligarchs. That's the reason he's able to hold on to powers, because he controls the oligarchs. You have to come back from a war like this and show something tangible. Otherwise this is going to just continue.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

On forever and then the person who comes after Putin is going to be like 10 times worse if he's seen as a failure.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah. I mean in theory that I mean that the glass half full I think eu rose colored glasses vision is that they're going to be able to tell somebody better.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

The fanatics who want this war to go forever, I feel like they're just calculating that Putin will die and then somehow Russia implodes after that. And I just think that strikes me as highly risky.

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

Yeah.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

The last time that we are. Think of the most insane warhawks you've seen in America. They exist in Russia too.

[Terrence Bates]

Sure do.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

They're more insane. Arguably. Yeah. You're like let's glass Paris kind of guys.

Tis the season at the White House as First Lady Melania Trump just welcomed this year's White House Christmas tree to 1600 Pennsylvania. Here's some video of the tree arriving around noon today. Meantime, President Trump is set to sign another Executive order order today there at the White House. Our sources say it could involve declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. However, there's no confirmation on that just yet. In fact, you just saw Melania Trump. There are major questions meantime this morning about whether the Department of Government Efficiency has been disbanded after six months or after eight months, excuse me. And ahead of its scheduled end in July of next year. Reuters quotes the director of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupper, and as saying the agency doesn't exist and is no longer a, quote, centralized entity. Taking to X on Sunday, Kupper explaining his comments, saying the truth is that Doge may not have centralized leadership under USDs, but the principles of Doge remain alive and well. He says that's a quick check of your headlines.

[Andrew Colvett]

Democracy lives in light. The CHARLIE Kirk show all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm Andrew Colvett. I really quickly want to tell you about one of our partners and we're going to bring in Scott Jennings, the great Scott Jennings, good friend, a great American. Many of us are hopeful about the direction the country is headed, but let's be honest, after years of mismanagement and abuse, things could fall apart at any moment. That's why I and Americans from all different types of walks of life have taken action to prepare for whatever is coming next. And that starts with having an emergency food supply. Storing food in your home is the right thing to do because we're living in crazy times, which explains why so many people are preparing right now. You can get ready too with a three month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply. It comes with delicious food like creamy stroganoff, honey wheat bread and mushroom rice pilaf. It covers over 2000 calories each and every day and the kit lasts for 25 years, flood proof and all kinds of sort of things. The thing is sealed up, ready to go. Who knows what our country's gonna look like in 25 years, but when that day comes, you'll be ready. Go to my patriotsupply.com Kirk that's mypatriotsupply.com Kirk now to order your 3 month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply, go to my patriotsupply.com Kirk I'm so excited to welcome Scott Jennings, author of A Revolution of Common Sense, his new book. He's also the host of the Scott Jennings show on Salem and you can find him on X at Scott Jennings, Ky for Kentucky. Good Kentucky boy. Scott, welcome to the show.

[Scott Jennings]

Andrew Good to see you, my friend. And greetings from Northern Kentucky. Today I'm traveling a little bit and glad to join you on the Charlie Kirk show, my friend.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, it's great to have you. I mean, the last time I saw you was with Charlie in Colorado, I believe. So it's, it's, it's a lot. But we, we stay in touch. You're doing great work. Congratulations on the, on the book A Revolution of Common Sense. Why don't you tell us a little bit about the book and what it's about, why you wrote it.

[Scott Jennings]

Well, I was listening to the President speak in January in his inaugural address and he used this phrase, a revolution of common sense. And I thought at time that would make a great book title because it is the perfect encapsulation or description of how he has rebranded the Republican Party in a conservative movement. And so I went to the Oval Office in early February. I pitched him on the idea of a book and we worked together on it. He gave me access to him to the Oval Office, to Air Force One, to the Cabinet, to several members of the senior staff. And I told him I thought that 100 people would come along to write books attacking him for this, that and the other. But somebody who likes him, understands what he's trying to do and wants to give the American people a fair description of it ought to get a chance to write a book. And he agreed. So this was the product. And I'll just give you one more nugget, Andrew. I didn't know what to put on the COVID so I sent the President a message and said, what's your favorite picture of yourself from the first hundred days? And that's the photo that came back. So that's the President's favorite picture.

[Andrew Colvett]

I let him pick it. Wow. Well, listen, the subhead, by the way, I think is really important. And the reason I want to call attention to it is because it is something that Charlie was obsessed with. It was what he was laser focused on. You said how Donald Trump stored Washington and fought for Western civilization. So you're painting this battle as an existential battle to save the west, to save Christendom. In a sense, I believe that Charlie believed that. Why do you believe it? If you could articulate it in the way Scott Jennings would, why do you believe the stakes are that high?

[Scott Jennings]

Well, first of all, the last time, as you mentioned, that I saw Charlie and you together in Colorado, if you'll remember the conversation that he and I had in front of that audience, we talked a lot about the future of Western civilization. And this theme permeates the book because I think, and I talk about this in some of my public talks, and I think Charlie understood this and articulated it well. We're not just battling about the day to day politics anymore. The future of our country, the future of the west, the future of whether we're going to live in a World that is based on the ideals that have been the foundation of our society for 3,000 years is going to continue. It's that versus really dark ideologies, people who would leave this world in darkness, people who have views that I think are really the enemies of human liberty. That's the battle that's going on right now. And I don't know whether President Trump knew he was signing up for it or not, but he is the leader of the fight for the future of the West. And look, this is, you know, the west isn't a place on a map. It's a set of ideas born in Jerusalem and Rome and Athens. And it's been the foundation of our civilization. It's been the foundation of our freedom. This is the civilization that gave birth to the Bible, the Constitution, the concept of a university. Everything we are is based on this pillars of Western civilization. And it's in danger. I think our financial situation and the mass migration crisis in the world and the march of these dark ideologies, I think they're all combining to really challenge the future of the West. It's what keeps me up at night. And I think the president's leading us admirably. But I think we all need to understand, if you're within the sound of our voice, you're on the front lines of this battle right now, whether you know it or like it or not.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, well said. And I think you talk about front line of the battle. I want to bring Blake Neff in, one of our producers here, Scott, as well, for this conversation. So we were just talking about, in segments one and two, about Ukraine, talking about front line of the battle. There's a lot that's been made of this. The EU plan versus the United States plan. Give us your take. Just which plan do you see as the more realistic path to peace here?

[Scott Jennings]

Well, look, I've thought a few things, and Secretary Rubio, I think, has done a good job trying to manage this. Number one, it has to be a negotiated piece. Neither of these guys is going to go back to their capital and take a knee and wave a white flag. I've never believed that. Number two, it has to be something that guarantees what's good for America. You know, what is good for us here? Security is good from a military perspective, but also economic security. We've spent a lot of money on this. We've spent a lot of time on this. What are we going to achieve out of this negotiated settlement? And number three, ultimately, are we going to get any guarantees that we're not going to be involved in any conflicts in the near medium or long term. I mean, that's the other thing we're looking for here. And so I hear Secretary Rubio sort of laying out these principles. I think he's on the right track. You have to involve both countries. I've been sort of, you know, flummoxed at people who say, well, we just have to take whatever the Ukrainians want and force Russia to accept. Well, how do you do that? How do you force another country to accept something? It has to be negotiated and it has to be done from a position of strength, which is what I think Rubio is doing right now.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm with you. You know, it seems like the basic disposition of the neocon right and the neoliberal left are really into this idea that you can't give Putin anything. Putin bad, we have to be enemies with Russia. This fixation on constantly being at Russia's throat and never being able to see a future where relations are normalized. Blake, I thought you painted that picture extraordinarily well earlier in the show, where the power of this deal is that you would have to essentially, as the US Go over and say those regions are now part of Russia and there is a powerful, powerful. I think it's symbolically powerful, but it's also pragmatic and realistic because those areas, they speak Russian, they probably want to be a part of Russia. Yeah. Ukraine would have to cede some territory, but they've already ceded the territory in battle. And so you've got ultimately got to give Putin something if you want the killing to stop.

[SpinQuest Promoter]

Yeah.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

I think the most important thing here about this plan is it strikes me as a bid for a permanent peace. It is not anything that says, oh, we'll acknowledge you're there, but we're not going to recognize it. Things like that is treating it as a ceasefire. It is treating another war as the eventual outcome of this. Because if you're not recognizing it, your expectation seems to be there will be another fight about it someday.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

And whereas if you're reintegrating Russia into the global economy, if you are creating a new international border, the intent is this is supposed to be a permanent resolution. And I just feel there is no long run value for America or for the west generally. And just being out in a cold war or hot war with Russia forever.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, and Scott, so I throw it to you. Let's play CNN here. Let's play a little game here. I'm going to be the. I'm going to be your counterpart. But Scott, isn't that rewarding bad behavior? Isn't that reward if we give Russia this territory and we acknowledge it as the US we're rewarding bad behavior, are we not? This is, this is unrealistic for future. For the future. It sets a bad precedent.

[Scott Jennings]

Well, look, we've already punished Russia somehow and it has to do with sanctions that we recently put on oil companies. A, B, we got NATO members to do 5% on defense spending. No other president's gotten that done. C, Russia's goal was to take over all of Ukraine and to leave Ukraine not sovereign. And this plan would leave Ukraine sovereign. And so, no, I don't think Russia's getting everything they want out of this, just like Ukraine is unlikely to get everything they want out of it. That's what we mean by the term negotiated peace. Plus, as I understand it, Ukraine's going to get a security guarantee out of this. That's not something the Russians probably wanted to go into this war thinking that would happen. And so, and let's not forget, on top of all of it, thanks to, I think, our help and thanks to the help of some other countries, Russia has suffered enormously in battle. Casualties are high. Their economy in some ways has been wrecked over this. And so we have punished these guys quite a bit. And if you want the killing to stop, you're going to have to get to a point where both countries decide to stop. And that's the point of this agreement. But don't mistake that Russia got off scot free here. I don't think they did. And if this agreement were executed, as we've seen it laid out in public by Secretary of Rubio, this is not, I don't think, the outcome that Putin would have wanted when he started this war.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, I think that's spot on. Scott, here again, author of the I want to make sure I get the title just right. The Revolution of Common Sense. A Revolution of Common Sense. How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization. We've got two minutes left here in this segment. Scott, I don't want to you, you brought it up when we were texting. And so I want to get to this story. She's being called the AOC of Tennessee. And so it's Democrat Afton, Ben. And she is taking incoming because she is on the record now saying that she hates the city she wants to represent. Let's play 135.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

I've been heavily involved with the Nashville.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Mayoral race because I hate the city.

[Andrew Colvett]

I hate the Bacheloret. I hate the Pedal taverns.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

I hate country music. I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently, and its city to.

[Andrew Colvett]

The rest of the country, but I hate it.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Yeah, I'm that girl at the airport that all these bachelorettes are giddy walking out in there in their two toned, colored, pantone pink shirts. And they walk out and I'm like.

[SpinQuest Promoter]

Oh, my God, Nashville.

[Andrew Colvett]

So loud.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Before. Before we dunk on her. That woman could be elected to Congress next week. So again, if you live in the 7th district, you can vote right now. Early voting goes through Wednesday. Cast your vote now.

[Andrew Colvett]

Scott, your reaction?

[Scott Jennings]

Welcome. Well, welcome to the modern left. I mean, this is effectively a great hood ornament for what the Democratic Party has become. These sort of vapid liberals who really hate the people they live around. This district, by the way, is partly Nashville, but it also includes a huge swath of rural Tennessee. Does that sound like someone who's got anything in common with rural Tennessee? It doesn't. Me. On top of that, you may have seen that she has been a longtime supporter of defunding the police. She went on MSNBC this weekend and refused to denounce those views that she has espoused for years about defunding the police. I mean, this person couldn't be farther from the center politically of that district than she is. But this is where the energy in the Democratic Party is right now. She's the AOC of Tennessee. I mean, these sort of charismatic, condescending, hateful, socialist style candidates. That's who they're nominating. That's who they're trying to put forward all over this country. And in a special election, anything could happen. So my advice to Republicans down there is don't sleep on this. Trump won this district by over 20 points, but Democrats are pouring money into it for a reason. And you think that's the kind of person you want in Congress, think again.

[Andrew Colvett]

Scott, I'm gonna. Hopefully you can stay for one more segment.

[Scott Jennings]

I'll.

[Andrew Colvett]

I'll hit you in the break here. But that makes me want to get into mtg. So just hang right there if you can. I'll text with you in just a second. Connection, Open dialogue. These are the things that build communities. Charlie and TikTok shared that knowledge and that value in common. That's why TikTok has built a space where that kind of listening actually happens. You'll see a teacher simplifying a tough lesson so it finally clicks. Or gardener sharing a trick that saved their crops. But what matters most isn't the original post, not the video. It's what comes next. Someone asking a question, someone else answering with a story of their own. That's what listening does. It reminds us that we're not as different as we may think. And that's what makes TikTok so, so powerful. It's a place where every post can turn into a conversation and every conversation can make a difference. Check out TikTok more with Scott Jennings. I hope on the other side of the break.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

A race we should win. But I mean the headline today on the Hill is Democrats look to cap off winning streak with Tennessee special election. They are paying attention to it. They are putting money into it. We have to acknowledge they're a little more Fired up right now, as you know they were during Trump's first term. That's how we got, you know, it started off with Jon Ossoff running for House and I think he lost the first time, but it was very close, I think is what it originally was. And then it, he just gained more and more momentum. So if you are in Tennessee, I know you're out there. Go vote early right now. You can do it today, you can do it tomorrow, you can do it Wednesday. Do it now, get it out of the way.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yep.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Otherwise, vote on Tuesday and put this to bed. Don't allow us to lose this. If we lose this one, it will be really embarrassing and really bad for everything.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, that, you know, Scott, 20 seconds to you if you want to cap that off. If not, we can go to radio. We'll get your thoughts then.

[Scott Jennings]

Look, I mean, these Democrats have gone from defunding to dehumanizing and degrading the police. I can't imagine there's anybody in Nashville or surrounding areas that wants their representative in Congress to view law enforcement in that way. So if you need only one reason, that's it.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well said. We're going to welcome back national radio in five seconds. Don't go anywhere. More with Scott Jennings. All right. We're back with Scott Jennings, the author of the new book A Revolution of Common Sense. Sense. You want to pick it up today?

I want to tell you about patriot mobile.com first though, listen, I know there's a lot of options out there when it comes to your cell phone service, but there is only one that shares your values when it comes to first responders, pro life, second amendment, First Amendment, all of those things. That is Patriot Mobile. They support us at the show. They support Turning Point usa. Glenn and the team, they're amazing, amazing people.

All you have to do is call 972 Patriot today or go to patriot mobile.com charlie patriotmobile.com charlie for a and use promo code Charlie for a free month of service patriot mobile.com charlie or call 972 Patriot. All right, Scott, so we're talking about this special election in Tennessee, which we should win, but Democrats are more fired up than we are. So we got to keep our eye on the, on the, on the prize here. We got to stay focused, go out and vote. As Blake said, that's exactly what Charlie would have said. Just get out and vote, vote early, get it done. You don't want a flat tire on the, on election day to get in their way. But now we have mtg. She has announced her resignation. Obviously, there was a huge fallout with President Trump. Our majority is getting slimmer and slimmer, and we got to, we got to keep our eye on this. I think MTG's district is another R +10. So we're going to have a special election there, it sounds like. What do you make of this? Why are we seeing this? A lot of people calling this the fracturing of the right right now. We're kind of at a nadir when it comes to energy. What do you make of it?

[Scott Jennings]

Well, a couple of things. One, I still think Donald Trump is enormously popular among Republicans. I mean, I saw a data segment with CNN this morning on this, and he's got an 87% approval rating among Republicans. That's higher than Obama had with Democrats and at this point, his second term, higher than Bush had with Republicans in his second term. So in terms of his clout and influence in the party, I think that's really high. But you do see people starting, I think, to break with him for one reason or another on certain issues, and they really should not. I mean, my view is politics is a team sport, and he's the head coach and he's still calling the plays right now. And we have a united opposition, you know, the media, the Democrats, the federal bureaucracy, the judiciary. I mean, you have these sort of entrenched interests that are united in trying to overwhelm the conservative movement. When we fracture, it makes them, it makes their job a lot easier, frankly. And so I don't like it, I guess, candidly, when my friends, our friends are fighting. And I don't like it when it seems like there's a fracture. But we have a leader. His name is Donald Trump. And I think we ought to respect that. And I know people have differences of opinion on certain issues, but at the end of the day, we're fighting larger battles here, and internal fractures make it harder to win those larger battles.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, I completely agree. And you've been excellent on staying focused on the left, Scott. I mean, this is your, I would say it's your day job. It's really your night job on cnn. I want to play because it's just going. The clips are making the rounds. You want to Kara Swisher's podcast and she claimed that the Hunter Biden cover up of the laptop was just politics as usual. I gotta play this clip and get your reaction. 123.

[Scott Jennings]

The story was true. There wasn't really any dispute of that other than from these 50 people who come from government, who are in and out of government when Democrats are in.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

That's politics to me, Scott. That's, that's, I mean, you're not naive. They were making their case just like you would say Trump just did with whatever issue he has.

[Scott Jennings]

Well, I, I don't agree that it is just a simple matter of making your case. It was one of the biggest lies that was told to try to get Joe Biden over the finish line. Do you, do you think it's just politics as usual?

[Andrew Colvett]

Yes, I do, actually.

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

I think it's.

[Andrew Colvett]

I do you like?

[iHeart Advertising Announcer]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Colvett]

So lying, Scott, is just politics to the Democrats. You can just lie now.

[Scott Jennings]

Honestly, it's worse than lying because they took 50 people that had intelligence titles. They've been director of the CIA, they've been this, they've been that. And they put their own credibility out there to say this was Russian disinformation. And then on top of that, you had news outlets that were being forced to censor information. You had social media companies that were censoring information. They were stopping the American people from getting access to information on the doorstep of an election. It was, it was a big misinformation op for the party that's constantly worried about misinformation. That's all it was. Remember, the New York Post had its social media accounts shut down because they're the ones that broke the story. So this was not politics as usual. But to the left, anything goes. They will do anything, they will coerce anybody. They will censor anything in order to get political power. And I think that's what we have to realize that we're up against. It's not politics as usual. It's something much, much worse than that.

[Andrew Colvett]

And they have a whole media apparatus that will completely whitewash it on the back end when they cop.

[Terrence Bates]

Yes.

[Andrew Colvett]

Scott Jennings, A revolution of Common sense. Check out his new book. Thank you, my friend. It's good to see you.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm Terrence Bates. We've all seen the headlines about Ozempic and other weight loss injections, and while they've helped some people lose weight quickly, there is growing concern about long term side effects. The good news is there's another way.

[Andrew Colvett]

I went from being on Ozempic for 13 years. I didn't realize how much strength I'd lost and how much it was affecting my life.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

I'd been in the hospital from pancreatitis caused by Ozempic.

[Andrew Colvett]

My digestive system's working properly again. I used to carry around Rolaids all the time. I can't believe I'm getting my life back after being subjected to that stuff for that many years. I'm off of it.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

I can't be happier.

[Andrew Colvett]

That was my biggest goal. You told me that you could help me, and you have.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

The man who helped him joins me right now. John Jubilee. John, good to see you, my friend. How are you?

[Terrence Bates]

Great to see you, Terrence.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

All right, so let's talk about Ozempic and the long term impacts thereof. Because, yeah, it may do away with weight, but you say it's really about doing away with the fat that you have stored in your body.

[Terrence Bates]

Well, look, that's. That's the goal of every person that is, is desperate. That is desperate. And they're just reaching for a ray of hope, and they're hoping that Ozempic is going to be their answer. I just want to tell you the truth. The truth is, you know, that's like reaching out for a rattlesnake. You know, you're in the water, you think you're going to drown, you grab a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake is worse than the water. And that's what Ozempic is. Ozempic, the side effects are clear. They tell you you could get pancreatitis like this gentleman. Pancreatitis is deadly. You can get all kinds of digestive issues. You can paralyze your digestive system. Terrence, there are people going blind. They are getting diabetic blindness from Ozempic. There is a $2 billion class action lawsuit against Ozempic right now, just from the first year. Who's ever heard of a drug that in one year already has a multibillion dollar class action lawsuit because of the damage that it is causing in people? So I just want to give you guys a visual. This is lean muscle. This is what Ozempic goes. The reason you lose weight. This weighs the same as this. Now, fat takes up a lot more space, and it's deadly in your body. But muscle is healthy. But look how much smaller, Terrence, this five pounds of muscle is. So people lose so much weight because they're losing their healthy muscle. They're keeping their visceral fat in their body. It is a very dangerous, dangerous, dangerous option. I so encourage you to don't go the Ozempic route. It is short term, but it can be a deadly choice to try to, for that, for your weight loss.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

And reversing some of the impacts of the drugs like Ozempic really starts at the high at the cellular level and getting those cells hydrated.

[Terrence Bates]

Well, it does. And Terrence, come on. This guy is a ray of hope for everyone that has tried the Ozempic path. That guy was on Ozempic for 13 years. It gave him pancreatitis. But the good news is he found us in time through real America's voice. He found the solution. He got healthy at the cellular level. He gained back his lean muscle. He gained his healthy hydration and reversed his pancreatitis. There is a healthy scientific way to lose the fat you want to lose, not the weight. To lose the fat you really want to lose the visceral and subcutaneous fat. Get your health so you never have pancreatit and you don't go blind. Do it the healthy way.

[Birch Gold Group Advertiser / Health Segment Host]

And John, in about 30 seconds you guys have a masterclass over at energizedhealth.com where people can at least get some more information and start the process.

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, I would encourage anybody go on the website, look at the testimonials first. Look at the testimonials, watch a masterclass and then just book a call. It doesn't cost you a penny to find out. Will this help? Can this help me with my challenges, with my circumstances, with my fact that loss that I want? Just take one simple action step today.

[Andrew Colvett]

All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk show, hour two. We're about to welcome the apostate prophet who was former Muslim, has converted to Christianity. We're going to talk about that. We have some breaking news here. A federal judge has just dismissed indictments against Letitia James and James Comey, saying Lindsey Halligan appointment was unlawful. So a federal judge has dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

So finding the cause of it is that the U.S. attorney who brought them is, was an interim appointment. And they've contested that that whole process is not allowed. So the cases were dismissed without prejudice. That does mean they didn't actually reject the substance of the indictments themselves. And so they actually could be rebrought if they later fill that post with a different prosecutor who wishes to bring them. But we'll probably have more chance to discuss this in the days to come.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, this was U.S. district Judge Cameron McGowan Curry and basically saying that Halligan's appointment was unlawful. And they are, you know, pundits already ruling this as a massive rebuke. President Trump's efforts to politically target political opponents, which by the way, is I think, really, you know, stunning given the fact that President Trump is probably the most politically targeted politician in American history, at least modern American history. But sure, okay, these cases can be brought again should, should the opportunity present itself.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

We'll see.

[Andrew Colvett]

We'll see. Yeah, you can go throw up. 145. This is from the AP just reporting this breaking news if you want. Ridvan is going to be joining us in a second, Blake, but there's been a lot of news on the Muslim front. I mean, first of all, you had Governor Greg Abbott. We covered this last last week. He, he basically declared CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. And then we had this big story of the Somali. Yeah.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Which, which isn't specifically just like, it's not so much a Muslim thing. It's a relatively insular tribal community that we've brought in from the Third World and transplanted to Minneapolis thing.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yes.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Which as we covered last week, we covered, you know, the story that was in City Journal from Rufo and the guest we had.

[Andrew Colvett]

Crap. Ryan.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Yeah, Ryan Thorpe. Ryan Thorpe.

[Andrew Colvett]

Ryan Thorpe.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

And, you know, it covered that there's one scam after another. It's like a feeding frenzy on the goodwill of the kind of Scandinavian ethos of Minnesota where they had an autism scam, where kids were being falsely diagnosed with autism and getting a cut of dollars that were going to sort of fake autism, culturally appropriate autism treatment centers. They were scamming the Medicaid fund where it was for, I think, to help marginal people get housing. And it was budgeted to have maybe cost about $3 million, and it ballooned to $300 million. And of course, we had the feeding our future scam a few years ago. And so what broke last week and what makes this continue is the Trump administration, in response to this, announced they were going to revoke the temporary protected status on Somalis. So this is this ridiculous program that we have where not even a program, ridiculous policy we have where we'll say, oh, this country is in turmoil. It has a temporary problem. And so people who are here illegally can stay in America just temporarily. Temporarily until the country's emergency has passed. It was intended for something like, oh, your country is being hit by a hurricane right now. We will not force you to fly back into the hurricane, but it's become just a permanent thing. Oh, your country is not nice. So you temporarily can stay here until your country is nice. So there are countries, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and of course, Somalia, where they just get temporary protected status for years, decades on end.

[Andrew Colvett]

No, they're permanent protected stat.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

It's permanent protected status. And so he revoked that on them. It looks like only a few hundred people would be affected by this. But it still matters. It matters for sending the message that you're just not permanently immune from being deported to these countries.

[Andrew Colvett]

And we do need to really use this, this. I mean, if there's an argument for the filibuster to remove it. And again, I don't think we would have the votes even if we did. But if, say, you could whip the votes and you could, you could fix immigration, that would be the holy grail of what you would do with Nuking the filibuster now guaranteed Democrats would get power again and they would just reverse, reverse course instantly because they are into unfettered mass migration from the third World.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

It's part of their plan that is valuable, is that the right is. It's gradually getting more assertive, more confident. And one of those signs of that confidence is we're actually willing to say there are some immigrant communities who just don't seem to be adding up well for the American people. And we don't have some moral obligation to let in an infinite number of them when they overwhelmingly go on public benefits, when they overwhelmingly are not integrating that well, and when it doesn't seem to be improving America. And if we can't make that case for Somalis, we'll probably not be able to make it for any immigrant group anywhere on the planet, frankly.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, there's another story that emerged this weekend out of South Florida and there's layers to this that I think we need to paint the full picture, let me just put it that way. But this was an imam in Florida crying because as they were praying, somebody ate a bacon sandwich outside of the mosque.142.

[Terrence Bates]

After the prayer ended.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

We look up to see them taunting us in our faces with bacon.

[Andrew Colvett]

I had to relive the whole thing again. Now, I do just want to say taunting people while they're praying, even with bacon, is probably not the right move optically and politically. And they are getting charged apparently now with hate crimes. And I don't like that.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

I feel like you should be able to taunt people, frankly, like a hate crime. I don't think hate crimes are a good category in general. If it's going to exist, it should apply to things that are a crime, assault, all of that. But I don't want us to delay on the guest anymore. We'll go through the breaks with him.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, here we go. We've got Ridvan Idemir and he's also known as Apostate Prophet on Both X and YouTube. He is a great, great guy. We've had him on the show with Charlie. Previously he was with us at Student Action Summit in Florida. Ridvan, welcome to the show.

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

Thank you, Andrew. Thank, thank you so much.

[Andrew Colvett]

So, Rivan, I, I mean, in broad terms, let's just set the stage here. 30,000 foot view. Is Islam compatible with Western civilization?

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

No. And so Charlie Kirkle, when he was, when he was with us, also made this very clear. He was one of the people who was very outspoken about this. Just a few weeks before he was murdered. He made a very viral post in which he said that Islam is not compatible with Western values. And he was right. It is indeed not so. I am an ex Muslim, right? I was a Muslim. I grew up as a Muslim. I was raised in a western country in Germany as a Muslim among traditional Muslims. And we were basically taught that we are only in this country because we eventually want this country to become an Islamic country. And so I learned, and we learned and we generally learned that Islam is that the Western nations are basically, you know, filthy and dirty and they follow wicked, sick morals and satanic or evil morals that they eat, as the Imam just pointed out, that they eat pork, which is a very, very evil thing, and that we should abstain from such things and should make every effort to make it as Islamic as possible if we live here, because there is no other excuse for us to live here. So there are so many layers and so many aspects to this. There is no freedom with Islam. Islam commands the execution of people who leave. Islam like myself for example, commands the complete silencing and punishing and execution of people who blaspheme against Islam. It covers, it covers up women, puts them into the background of society, reduces their status quo brutally, far beyond what supposedly regressive, you know, conservative people would, would advocate for. It is in general. So it has values of, I don't know, child marriage, of polygamy, of wife beating, of cousin marriage, of all these things that are just terrible for society. And it is in no way compatible with Western values. And we should all be aware of it. We should all be aware of the dangers of it. We should all be aware, as Europe is becoming aware, that when the numbers of it increase, it becomes a huge, a huge stab in the back of society.

[Andrew Colvett]

We're going to keep going through the breaks. Got to say, quick pause here with radio. We'll be right back.

[Andrew Colvett]

Our lack of cultural confidence in ourselves. We are, we are no longer a culture that asserts ourselves proudly because we don't wanna be racist, we don't wanna be bigoted. Yeah, go ahead.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

I guess a question I would want to ask, or do we have to read something here?

[Andrew Colvett]

No, it's fine.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

All right. A question I would want to ask is. We do see now where a lot of people are actually converting to Islam. We hear about people joining it in prisons. We actually see Westerners joining it in Germany, in the uk. What, what's the appeal of Islam, in your opinion? Why would someone join it rather than leave it?

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

So I, I still think that it is very much inflated. The, the, you know, the reality of it. I don't think that there are actually huge numbers of people joining Islam. So here, here is the thing. Muslim nations and Muslim people generally have a big obsession with white people, with Western people. So if, if a Western person comes out and says something favorably about Islam, that is very, very much amplified. If a Western person converts to Islam, that is very much amplified. The one place where indeed there is a huge conversion of, of people to Islam is prisons, which is, I'm not sure if that's a thing to brag about from the Muslim perspective, but there, there is something that is, that is indeed appealing to some people, which is that Islam has. Islam is a very strong right. And I'm not Saying that as something. As something positive or something praiseworthy, although there is some praiseworthy aspect of it. Because in the west, we have become. People have become very timid and very tolerant and. And all that. So while the west is very tolerant and very timid, Islam has a huge assertiveness. It is, it is, it is. It is very proud and very firm, but it is also very deeply indoctrinating and very brainwashing. So it has strong foundations that make it very aggressive and that oppose anyone who speaks against it. Here's the thing you just mentioned, the calls to prayer. The call to prayer is not just a call to prayer. It's not just something that is played like a church bell or something. You know, it is a very clear message. When it is played in a Western nation, in a Western society, in a western neighborhood. What it says is that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. So it is a direct declaration that Islam is true and all the other religions and all the other ways of thinking, thinking around you are false. So it is a direct assertion of superiority over everybody else.

[Andrew Colvett]

We're going to welcome back national radio more with Ridvan apostate Prophet in two seconds. All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Riben, you were talking about the Muslim call to prayer as a public demonstration and an assertion of Islamic superiority, of theological correctness. You know, essentially an exclusivity claim. Right. Christians get a lot of grief for the exclusivity claims about Jesus, that he is the way, the truth, and the life. I have recently been watching YouTube videos about these missionaries in Africa, and they talk about the, you know, you see what's happening in Nigeria with the persecution of Christians there and these Muslim armies and these militias coming to hunt them down. And there is a spirit of fear that goes before them. And I don't want to make this, you know, too in the clouds or too spiritual, but it occurs to me that when. When Muslims begin, you know, doing the Muslim call to prayer in Western cultures five times a day, that there is a spiritual element to that. There is a. There is like a. You know, they talk about these missionaries in Africa, they talk about this. You could feel the spirit of fear go in front of the armies, almost in front of these militias before the persecution and the killing starts. I believe that there is a spiritual element of this that is unleashed when you allow that type of thing into your culture. Do you agree?

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

I do agree. And it also actually goes back to how it is, how it is intended to be. So in the, in the beginnings of Islam, when Muhammad was around, he made it a thing to shout Allahu Akbar and la ilahi illallah and so on. So there is no God but Allah and Allah is the greatest in front of his armies. It was a very, very fierce battle cry, aside from simply being an invitation to prayer. And of course, you might anticipate that there is a spiritual aspect to, you know, when you invoke something like that and invoke something, to be very frank, evil, that it has wider implications. It is also. So it has psychological impacts as well. Think about a Muslim society that comes into a Western nation or that is in Nigeria, which is, which has a conflict between Muslims and Christians. So think about a group of Muslims that simply settles in an area and practices their religion privately without having any, any, any calls for anything at all. And then think about how Muslims do it. Muslims come into a place, establish their community, establish a mosque a minute that then shouts out, there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. It is not only a declaration of superiority over others, it is also a declaration to the Muslims who are around to say, hey, wake up guys, you are right, all others are wrong and they are the enemy. I'm very sure that all, despite the so together with the psychological impact and the social impact, there is something evil going on with that as well.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

So we had President Trump, he did. He's revoking the temporary protected status on for Somalia. But what else would we, what would your pitch be to Republicans or to President Trump? Lawmakers in Washington?

[Andrew Colvett]

What.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Are there any actions, concrete ones you think should be on the table for our government for avoiding the Islamization of America?

[Ridvan Idemir (Apostate Prophet)]

Well, I think so. When I was at the, at the last event and spoke at Turning Point usa, I also pointed out a few things that need to be done that should be done. First off, the Muslim Brotherhood needs to be seriously, seriously countered and, you know, seen as a terrorist organization with all its elements and all its connections. It is an organization that infiltrates countries, that infiltrates Western nations, that infiltrates non Western nations. And certain Muslim majority nations in the Arab countries have taken large steps against the Muslim Brotherhood because they know that it is a terrorist organization that wants to subvert societies. Another thing would be to seriously curb and shut down immigration from Muslim countries. I know we have taken steps, but they are not enough. Immigration from Muslim countries needs to be shut down. It needs to be taken seriously. We need to stop being so tolerant. We need to stop being so, so weak and so meek. And finally another thing would be information and education about Islam. What it is, what it teaches, what it preaches and what happens wherever Islam goes needs to spread among the common people. Maybe I, I know it is, it is always a conflict and it is kind of problematic when the government steps in and does something like that. But maybe it is upon us to to do something about that, as Charlie also wanted us to do, and to inform everybody in America about what Islam actually teaches. And maybe, you know, the government can help us at some points to reach more people and educate people who are in charge and educate the officers on that.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Thank you very much. And yeah, Charlie cared a lot about this, especially in the last weeks and months of his life. He went to the uk, he saw what it was very rapidly becoming and he knew it was only going to get more extreme. Whenever you see this, you have to realize it's going to get a lot worse in the years to come because they're young, they're still coming into the country, they have more kids than us, they can transform a society and we can't afford to just ignore it.

[Andrew Colvett]

Stop being so tolerant. Thank you Ridvan. I love it. We'll see you soon, my friend.

Welcome back to the Charlie Kurt Show. Blake, we got an email, got an.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Email from Jennifer in the break. I wanted to read it. She says, hi guys. I am a current autism support teacher in a public school, 42 years old. I was misdiagnosed in the 90s as seriously emotionally disturbed. I found out this year instead I have autism myself and ADHD. And she says my philosophy is to treat 10 kids in my classroom differently from my own childhood. Keep them moving, keep them having fun. And my goal is to teach all of them to read, even the non verbal ones. So thank you for that, Jennifer.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah, that's great.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

And if anyone else has emails, send them in.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yep. Freedomarliekirk.com so Leland, so, you know, I think I'm probably the usual case here. I saw you on Fox News. You were in the Middle east and you were at your anchor desk and the White House, the north lawn. But you say here in your book that you struggled with this stuff after college. What changed and what was like, was there a breakthrough or was it still a gradual thing?

[SpinQuest Promoter]

You know, Andrew, it's a great question and I think one of the reasons that born Lucky has resonated so much with folks is because it has touched this nerve of parents having, having a hard time with their kids and you know, by dad spent so much time teaching me and so much time working on me and giving me the tools and the discipline to really adapt and to work in the real world. That said, I would say it's still an everyday struggle for me and inborn Lucky. I equate growing up with autism and having autism to a little bit like being an alcoholic. It's something you have to work at every single day. And just a couple of months ago I was at a golf club with my father in law. We just finished a great round of golf. We played with a couple other guys and I was running late and stuffing my golf bag into my travel bag. We were in the sort of cart area and I'm down on my hands and knees trying to get this in. And one of the classic characteristics of autism is you become just totally task focused, right? And I was really focused on getting the golf bag into the travel bag. And this older gentleman walks over and he goes, hi Leland. And it was actually somebody we had just played golf with. I totally ignored him and my dad. I could hear my dad's voice, right? He had taught me, stop what you're doing, be able to sort of break out of that task, focus, get up, shake hands, say hello, talk for a few minutes, whatever it is. And I couldn't do it. I could hear the voice of my dad like, lucky, you need to stop, you need to say hello to this gentleman, you need to get up. And I just, just couldn't do it. And you know, he eventually just walked off. I was so rude to him and I thought, you know, God bless it, I cannot believe I'm like 8 years old again. I'm 43 years old. I'm married, and I'm like just an 8 year old, just, you know, being me. And I found his phone number and I sent him a note. I just said, I want to apologize to you, sir. I was just so rude to you. And I really feel terrible about that. And I'm sorry. What I didn't follow up with was, oh, by the way, I have autism.

Right.

And say, sort of use it as an excuse. So remember, you know, inborn lucky. I tell you why my dad never told me that I had autism, never told teachers or therapists or family members. You know, he and my mom struggled alone and felt alone for so long because they didn't want me to be defined by a diagnosis. And that's the lesson of born lucky. You don't have to be defined by a diagnosis. Nobody does. But if you let yourself be defined, if you use it as an excuse, it will always, always be there. And I think it's one of the reasons it was on the New York Times bestseller list. It's one of the reasons now that Amazon picked it for its Black Friday books. Because that message of hope and power is really resonating with folks.

[Andrew Colvett]

Well, I just. Every parent has that moment where you go, is my kid weird? And there is a temptation to just be like, well, this is just the way he is, or she is. And we were talking about that in the break. Is that one of our fears of modern psychology or modern diagnoses or medicine is that our tendency is to just placate the child and pander to the child as opposed to challenge the child to get better, to improve? I mean, right, Blake, you were telling your story.

[News/Commentary Analyst]

Yeah, yeah. As I've aged, I've so much appreciated how you can change how you are, you know, by developing new habits. And especially as adults, I think we underrate how much that can happen with children. Children are not. They are not fixed. They are constantly becoming, and you can influence what they become.

[Andrew Colvett]

Yeah. Leland, tell everybody how they can get the book. 30 seconds. The floor is yours.
