Detailed Breakdown

1. Opening: Gen Z, Housing, and American Values

[03:26]–[07:58]

• Conservative Trends Among Gen Z:

  • Charlie predicts, “Gen Z is going to be a lot more conservative. I sense much more skepticism” ([03:26])
  • Michael Knowles agrees, calling the shift a reaction to “Gen Xers and millennials forcing on them progressive views.” ([03:32])

• US Housing Crisis:

  • The team vents frustration at affordability and “the Fed,” suggesting, “they want to have a nation of renters, not owners.” ([03:53] – Beau Davidson)
  • Radical plan floated: “Deport 20 million people, build 10 million homes. We need to fix all the regulation around the homes.” ([03:59] – Charlie Kirk)
  • Automation and robotics are pitched as a way to bring down home prices. ([04:16] – Michael Knowles)
  • Cutting rates alone won’t solve the problem. ([04:24] – Charlie Kirk)

• Culture War & American Exceptionalism:

  • Discussion veers into Western values:
    “We in Western culture believe that our way of life is the best. …We believe in American exceptionalism. We believe our culture is better” ([05:20] – Charlie Kirk)
  • Charlie and Knowles criticize cultural relativism and assert the need for “assimilation” over multiculturalism.

---

2. Immigration, Identity, and SNAP Benefits

[06:00]–[07:54]

• American Identity and Thumos:

  • The crew argues that “paperwork” alone doesn’t make you American:
    “Just because you have a US passport, does that make you an American? You might technically be an American, but you don't share our values.” ([07:43] – Charlie Kirk)
  • They introduce the Greek concept of “thumos,” the spirit—or “being all in”—as essential to true American identity.

• Debate on Food Aid and Obesity:

  • The hosts make provocative claims about SNAP recipients, implying the real issue is overconsumption, not hunger:
    “Nobody could benefit from a nice fast more than the SNAP for recipient.” ([07:07] – Andrew Colvitt)
    “The average SNAP recipient is 211 pounds. So is there a case? …We talk about going hungry hungry.” ([06:53] – Charlie Kirk)

---

3. Elections, Grassroots, and the Filibuster Fight

[11:31]–[20:49]

• Election Push & Poll Watch:

  • Urging New Jersey and Virginia Republicans: “If you haven't returned your mail ballot, shut off this show, fill it out and turn it in right now.” ([13:32] – Blake Neff)
  • Polling in New Jersey and the "neighbor effect" in polling–Cittarelli leads when people are asked who their friends will vote for. ([14:27] – Andrew Colvitt)

• Current Political Crux–The Filibuster Showdown:

  • Trump’s posts calling for “the nuclear option” – abolishing the Senate filibuster ([15:31] – Blake Neff lays out Trump’s statement).
  • The panel is divided, weighing the merits of breaking the filibuster to pass reforms like immigration, with warnings about potential Democratic overreach (e.g., Puerto Rico/DC statehood).

    “Be careful what you wish for...” ([20:27] – Charlie Kirk)

Notable Quote:

“If you’re going to get rid of the filibuster, you’ve got to do it as a day one thing… You go in, because there’s all these things we want to do that we can’t do, because you need 60 votes to do it… But if Democrats take office after 2028, they come in and they're getting that day one, no filibuster…”
— Blake Neff ([17:14]–[18:08])

---

4. Political Violence & The Michael Knowles Interview

[38:12]–[48:49]

• Testimony Before the Senate:

  • Michael Knowles discusses his Senate subcommittee testimony on political violence, painting it as an almost exclusively left-wing problem fueled by media and Democrat denial.
  • He recounts Senator Cory Booker’s hypocrisy and the left’s minimizing of attacks, including referencing Jay Jones (Democratic AG candidate in Virginia), who allegedly endorsed violence:

    “Cory Booker has endorsed Jay Jones for Attorney General of Virginia. Jay Jones who has called for Republicans to be killed…”
    — Michael Knowles ([38:48])

• Polling Data Exposed:

  • Hosts cite poll data showing young progressives are much more likely to justify political violence than conservatives.
  • “Very liberal are eight times as likely as people who are very conservative to justify political violence.” ([42:25] – Michael Knowles)
  • Youth data shows 26% of young liberals endorse political violence ([43:16] – Michael Knowles)

• Media Bias & Government Harassment:

  • Reports of Trump officials being relocated to military bases for their safety due to threats.
  • Knowles: “It does feel like something just seismically has shifted in the political order…”

---

5. Public Faith & JD Vance Controversy

[54:06]–[57:51]

• JD Vance and Spousal Faith:
  • Viral controversy over JD Vance’s honest hope that his wife convert to his faith.

    “Do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved in by church? Yeah, I honestly, I do wish that…”
    — JD Vance ([54:06])

  • The team characterizes the online backlash as ignorance about religion’s true meaning:

    “It’s not that they disagree with the vice president on religion. It’s that they don’t even seem to know what religion is.”
    — Michael Knowles ([55:58])

  • The crew commends Vance for “welcoming disagreements at the front of the line”—linking it to Charlie Kirk’s philosophy.

---

6. Hour Two: Open Q&A – Elections, School Censorship, Immigration, and Halloween

[68:34]–[116:12]

State Elections and Activism

• Ohio Redistricting & Vivek Ramaswamy:

  • Turning Point USA (TPUSA) backs efforts to secure Republican redistricting and supports Vivek for governor.

    “We 1000% want to be [helpful] and we can get you more answers.” ([70:45] – Andrew Colvitt)

  • But Blake Neff clarifies no endorsement in the primary, though “if he’s the candidate, we will of course back him.” ([71:49])

• Senate Race in North Carolina:

  • “Michael Whatley’s been a friend of Turning Point… this is the candidate that President Trump wants…” ([76:43] – Andrew Colvitt)
  • TPUSA is selective: “We get asked to go in a billion directions and… we’ve gotten really good at saying no.” ([77:57])

Censorship at Private Schools

• Turning Point Chapter Blocked at Jesuit School:
  • Listener describes 90+ students petitioning for a club, rejected by the principal despite left-leaning clubs being present.

    “Why am I just not surprised this is happening at a Jesuit institution?”
    — Charlie Kirk ([86:21])

  • The team pledges to bring more attention to the issue: “We totally have your back. I think we should blow this up a bit more.” ([87:07])

Listener Feedback: Immigration and UK Cultural Change

• Listener Brandon asks about UK immigration; co-hosts recount evidence of cultural displacement, signage in Arabic, and changes in TV channels in London.

  “This is not an assimilation. This is kind of an ongoing cultural conquest of the UK...”
  — Blake Neff ([103:04])

• Scriptural framing (Deuteronomy 28:43) as a warning of loss of native control.

SNAP, Welfare, and Vetting

• Multiple questions about tightening eligibility for SNAP (food assistance) and tackling fraud, with hosts calling for more scrutiny and “buckle down” reform if the filibuster is nuked.

---

Halloween and Culture Wars

• In-House Debate:
  • Extensive and lively discussion over Halloween, with audience emails split.
    • Some see it as harmless community fun, others assert it’s “playing with fire.”
    • “Don’t play with the occult. Don’t do Ouija.” ([84:02] – Charlie Kirk)
    • “Princess and ninja costumes good, creepy stuff not so good.” ([111:03] – Andrew Colvitt)
  • References to Christian writers (C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters) and prayers.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On the filibuster:

  “If you’re going to get rid of the filibuster, you’ve got to do it as a day one thing... But if Democrats take office after 2028... they come in and they’re getting that day one, no filibuster...”
  — Blake Neff ([17:14])

• On American exceptionalism and assimilation:

  “We in Western culture believe that our way of life is the best... Assimilation is a necessity, not a suggestion.”
  — Charlie Kirk ([05:20])

• On JD Vance and spousal faith:

  “What JD and Erica did was magnificent... the fact that they don’t even understand what he’s saying is so damning about our culture.”
  — Michael Knowles ([55:58])

• On Halloween:

  “If I told my 7 year old daughter we were not going trick or treating tonight, we would have to make new traditions.”
  — Andrew Colvitt ([111:24])

[Andrew Colvitt]

The Charlie Kirk show starts now.

[Charlie Kirk]

I think Gen Z is going to be a lot more conservative. I sense much more skepticism of and.

[Michael Knowles]

I think it is a reaction to Gen Xers and millennials forcing on them progressive views.

[Charlie Kirk]

Americans have been pushed out of affordability.

[Beau Davidson]

In the housing market and this, this.

[Charlie Kirk]

Isn'T helpful what the feds doing here. And you know when I look rents are down and that's one of the.

[Beau Davidson]

Biggest components of inflation. So you know, it's like they want to have a nation of renters and not owners.

[Charlie Kirk]

If the average age of a home buyer is 38 years old, that's probably only, only going to go up. And so how do we fix it? Well again we need more supply of homes. We need less people that are buying them. So deport 20 million people, build 10 million homes. We need to fix all the regulation around the homes.

[Michael Knowles]

We also need to use more automation.

[Charlie Kirk]

And more robotics and how we actually build the homes, which will bring down.

[Michael Knowles]

The price of homes. But also we need to cut rates.

[Charlie Kirk]

Now cutting rates is not everything. Cutting rates is not the entire picture. Cutting rates is not the whole thing because the price is still high. But it will unlock more capital for people that are right on the edge.

[Beau Davidson]

Of purchasing a home.

[Charlie Kirk]

The top 1% leave it 1 4th the roof rate of other income brackets in New York City. And when they do leave, it's often.

[Beau Davidson]

To other high tax states as they're.

[Charlie Kirk]

Described as well as for the reason of quality of life.

[Beau Davidson]

I say all this to say that.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I'm confident that New Yorkers will choose.

[Beau Davidson]

To not only remain here, but also.

[Charlie Kirk]

That others will choose to join us in this city.

[Michael Knowles]

And people say I like Mamdani because he's authentic. But authentic to what?

[Charlie Kirk]

And what is he aiming towards? He's aiming towards a devolution. It's bad either way. By the way, if he eats with his Bryce with his hands, whether he means it or not, he's either authentically.

[Michael Knowles]

Gross or he's Being a fake, disgusting person.

[Charlie Kirk]

And in some of the comments of a TikTok video I made, people say, but Charlie, who are you to judge other cultures? No, no, no.

[Michael Knowles]

That's the point.

[Charlie Kirk]

We in Western culture believe that our way of life is the best. We're better than Muhammadism. We don't do female genital mutilation. Well, I guess the trans people do. But we don't do female genital mutilation. We in the west don't have child marriages. We don't believe in honor killings. We don't believe in polygamy. We believe in American exceptionalism. We believe our culture is better. You see, in the modern world, happiness.

[Michael Knowles]

Is the goal, Feelings are the guide.

[Charlie Kirk]

Judgment is the ultimate sin and God.

[Michael Knowles]

Is the ultimate guess.

[Charlie Kirk]

And let me say that again. Judgment is the ultimate sin. You're not allowed to judge others.

[Michael Knowles]

Guess what?

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm gonna judge you if you rise with your hands.

[Beau Davidson]

That's bad, that's wrong.

[Charlie Kirk]

Assimilation is a necessity, not a suggestion. I really am scared to death about what's going on in this country. I really believe it is code red. It's five alarm fire. It's breaking every hour of every day. We won't have a country, we won't have an election that's fair and free if we don't stand up.

[Andrew Colvitt]

The Trump administration all of a sudden believes that they don't have the authority to do something that Congress has clearly given them the authority to do. But these are extremists who are willing.

[Michael Knowles]

To actually stop starve their own folks.

[Charlie Kirk]

This whole thing of like 40 million.

[Beau Davidson]

People are going to go hungry. First off, those 40 million people average an extra £40 on them over the average working American.

[Andrew Colvitt]

If you took the average person that's.

[Beau Davidson]

On SNAP getting free food and the.

[Charlie Kirk]

Average person that gets no free food.

[Andrew Colvitt]

From the government, the average female who.

[Charlie Kirk]

Gets no free food from the government is 146 pounds. The average SNAP recipient is 211 pounds. So is there a case? I know first off, we talk about going hungry hungry.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Nobody could benefit from a nice fast.

[Charlie Kirk]

More than the SNAP for recipient. It's what is an American. I can tell who is not an American. An American is more than paperwork. If you think someone becomes an American.

[Michael Knowles]

Just because they have their paperwork filled out.

[Beau Davidson]

Our country's dumb.

[Charlie Kirk]

Zoran Mamdani is not an American.

[Andrew Colvitt]

He's not.

[Michael Knowles]

He's something else.

[Charlie Kirk]

Zoran Mamdani is a foreign influence with Marxism and Islamism coming to America's greatest city. But he is. He has a US Passport. What I'm getting at, everybody, is a deeper question that we've ignored for the.

[Michael Knowles]

Last 50 years because of mass migration.

[Charlie Kirk]

Just because you have a US passport, does that make you an American? You might technically be an American, but but you don't share our values. You hate our Constitution, you don't know our founding. There's a Greek word called thumos. It's one of my favorite words.

[Michael Knowles]

It's the spirit, it's the soul.

[Charlie Kirk]

We really don't have a good English equivalent for it. The first thing for an American is you must be all in.

[Michael Knowles]

Charlie.

[Andrew Colvitt]

All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. Andrew Colvitt here. I'm a little bit remote today, but I am joined, of course by Blake Neff, our not so secret weapon, and Mike McCoy in the studio holding it down. Hello, gentlemen. Welcome, welcome.

[Charlie Kirk]

How we doing? Andrew.

[Andrew Colvitt]

How we doing? Hey, Mikey. It's good to see you again, man. Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

Thank you, guys. It's nice to be back. I know a lot's happened since I've been gone and so I'll just say what happened in Utah was the worst day of my life and following the worst seven weeks of my life, of our life. Blake and Andrew and I just. It's still really traumatic and difficult to talk about. I haven't really been able to. And so I just wanted to thank you and Blake, I wanted to thank you guys, man. Thank you.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, you're doing great, Mikey. Blake, you're doing great. Everybody's doing great. I want to say that our team is doing heroically, actually, when you see what we accomplished this week in Ole Miss, in Oxford, Mississippi. And then, by the way, guys, we had a. Our first, the kickoff of our high school tour, which is our Club America tour. We had over 500 students come out for that in Nevada. I'm just really proud of the team. We're doing, doing heroic work. And this has been, honestly, a tremendous, tremendous week. That it just shows the spirit that Charlie implanted into so many of the people that run Turning Point and that are still part of Turning Point. And we're going from strength to strength in so many ways. So, you know, Mikey, from us to you, you're doing a phenomenal job, genuinely.

[Charlie Kirk]

Thank you.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, man. So, Blake, why don't you kick things off and just set the table on this filibuster discussion that's happening right now. So last night, Trump. Trump sent a shot across the bow.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes. So we'll get to that first very quickly. I do want to flog something because Charlie would be angry at us if we didn't. There are elections next Tuesday in New Jersey and in Virginia. They are tough races. They are races, to be honest. We are unlikely to win, but we are going to try to win them. We talked with Cliff Maloney the other day. He said there were about, I think, 80,000 unreturned Republican mail ballots in New Jersey. So if you're one of those people in New Jersey who has one of those ballots and hasn't returned it, shut off this show, fill it out and turn it in right now. In Virginia, the last day to early vote is tomorrow. So if you're in Virginia and you're allowed to early vote and you haven't yet shut off this show, go to your county courthouse or wherever you're allowed to early vote and do it now. Thank you very much. We're going to flog that next Monday, and we'll be broadcasting the election results on Tuesday. All right, thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, now I just want to throw. Throw this up. Like, throw the throat. The 329. This is the recent polling we got. Cheryl is up by 11 point according to the latest polls. This is from Emerson College and Jack Cittarelli. So it's 49 to 48. We got about 3% undecided. But remember, there's a. There's two little pieces of information I want you guys to hold deep in your hearts as you go out there and you seize the momentum. Independents are backing Citarelli by +9. And here's another one. If they. If you are asked, who do you support, they'll say it one way. But if, when voters are asked who do they think their neighbors are voting for, guess what? Cittarelli is up by six, which is a very Interesting way to poll this, because sometimes people will say, oh, of course, I'm going Democrat to a pollster. But when they ask who your. Who do you think your friends and your families and your coworkers, your neighbors are voting for? To see Citarelli up 6 is a very, very promising sign. So keep the faith in New Jersey.

[Charlie Kirk]

All right? So anyway, the filibuster thing, so this just came up over last night and this morning. It's, it's flaring up. It's coming. Thanks to President Trump. We have the ongoing government shutdown. It's still going. And we're possibly hitting a crisis point tomorrow because snap benefits are set to expire. Lots of stuff to be said about that. But President Trump's response, so last night, untruth, social. He said this. He had a pretty long post. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but he was saying, you know, Democrats have gone off the deep end. They have Trump derangement syndrome, they have trillions dollars, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then he says it is time now, time for Republicans to play their trump card, all caps, and go for what is called the nuclear option. Get rid of the filibuster, and get rid of it now. Never have the Democrats fought so hard to do something because they knew the tremendous strength that terminating the filibuster would give them. They want to substantially expand PAC, the U.S. supreme Court, make Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico states. Goes on and on. It's actually quite the long thing. And then he doubled down on that this morning. He made a post that said, because of the fact the Democrats have gone stone cold crazy, the choice is clear. Initiate the nuclear option, get rid of the filibuster, and make America great again. Now, I would guess the Senate is probably unlikely to go for that, but Trump has a lot of power to pressure people. And I think it's an interesting debate. We were talking about this, you know, should it be gone for. And my impulse, and what I would tell Charlie if we would discuss this, is if you're going to get rid of the filibuster, you've got to do it basically as a day one thing. They should have done it the day Trump took office, because you need to maximize what you get out of it. And then you go in, because there's all these things we want to do that we can't do, because you need 60 votes to do it. Change our immigration laws, change environmental laws, so it's easier to build things in America, you know, change, change our budgeting process, do Maybe entitlement reforms, all these numbers of things you'd want to do. And it would be a huge misfire. I think if we were to get rid of the filibuster, get rid of the 60 vote barrier and all we get out of it is we end a shutdown and we resume SNAP benefits. And then if Democrats take office after 20, 28, God forbid, but you know, it's a possibility, then they come in and they're getting that day one, no filibuster thing where they get to run wild. And I think that would be my concern and probably Charlie's concern if he was here to talk about it with us. How about you guys?

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, I feel like, I feel a bit conflicted because I think the one main thing that would be worth ending the filibuster for is immigration reform. Either an immigration moratorium or at least a dramatic reduction and a replacing of our current model with something that was more merit based and more interested in what does America get out of it. I think immigration is the first, second and third and fourth and fifth most important issue in our country. I think it's all about the future of America. So if you're going to do it, you got to have the guts to do that. I don't think it's worth blowing up the filibuster to. Yeah, just turn snap benefits back on or get the government going. I mean, I think we are in a winning position when it comes to the government shutdown. We as the Republican Party have, we have tried to open the government multiple, multiple times. The Democrats have, have blocked it time and again. They have even tried to pass a clean bill to turn snap benefits back on for people. So this is the newest, you know, flashpoint is the, are these SNAP benefits? But here's the deal. If we do this, there will come a time and you, we've just got to be perfectly honest about it. Where they will make Puerto Rico a state and that's two more Democrat senators. They will probably try and make Washington D.C. a state that's two more senators on top of that. So you could be staring down the barrel of a situation where if you, if you take this away, then we might not ever have a majority in the U.S. senate again. I mean we could. Now, J.D. vance said at our Turning Point event at Ole Miss, like we shouldn't be afraid to do stuff just because we know that the Democrat Party is going to do it. Well, this is one instance that at least in the previous iteration we had Kyrsten Sinema and we had Joe Manchin that blocked the nuclear option from being on the table for the Democrats and that probably saved the republic. So I feel very, very conflicted. Obviously, it's tempting to do anytime a party's in power, it's tempting to do, but I think we have to be very, very cautious about doing this. And we've seen that Mike Johnson has come out against, blown up the filibuster. So I don't know if you have final thoughts there, Blake, before we hit the break, but it's a hornet's nest, that's for sure.

[Charlie Kirk]

You always just anytime there's a lot of things Republicans have wanted to do and anytime you're going to do something politically, you have to think what will happen next. You always want to think the medium term consequences of what you will do. And this is one of the biggest ones of all where you have to think that out. So be careful what you wish for is what we would say.

I want to play this. This is Speaker Johnson coming out against President Trump's tweets. Let's call truths in anger. Totally understandable. And it's 31 days into a government shutdown. The Democrats have not shown any desire to negotiate in good faith. So we understand where it's coming, coming from. Play cut 330.

[Charlie Kirk]

What you're seeing is, is an expression of the president's anger at the situation.

[Andrew Colvitt]

He is as angry as I am and the American people are about this madness.

[Beau Davidson]

Do your basic job.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm going to say this again.

[Michael Knowles]

We have put zero, zero Republican policy.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Priorities on the cr it is Biden.

[Charlie Kirk]

Level policies and spending. They have no excuse at all not to support it.

[Andrew Colvitt]

They have no excuse to put all.

[Charlie Kirk]

This, this, this pain on the American people.

[Michael Knowles]

Except that for what we've just articulated and repeated here every day.

[Andrew Colvitt]

All right, so Blake, this is obviously Speaker Johnson trying to do a little damage control. But I think Trump is dead serious. I think he's, he's fed up. He's throwing his hands up in the air and he wants to do this.

[Charlie Kirk]

He is, he is. But I think you think about how Trump likes to approach things. Trump generally is a guy who's very much what is immediately in front of me. He's a guy who want, he wants wins. He's, you don't want to say. He's a guy who's looking directly in front of him. And so he's thinking, I have a problem now. What could resolve that problem now? And people say like, oh, well, the filibuster keeps us from doing this. And he'd say, let's get rid of it. And we're getting a lot of, you know, emails from different directions. And I want to flag. We know one person said, for example, we got an email from Greg here who says, nuke the filibuster, fix everything, then put it back. But, but Also we have one saying when Dems take control, first thing on their list will be to end the filibuster. So why don't we just do it? So a few thoughts there. First of all, Democrats had power under Biden and they, they did not manage to get rid of the filibuster they had. Joe Manchin didn't want to vote to do it. Kyrsten Sinema didn't want to vote to do it. Now both of those people are gone. So that would be an argument. Maybe next time they will get rid of it. On the other hand, you might also see next time there could be a different Democrat who decides they enjoy the power from being the most right wing Democrat. That gave them a lot of influence, that gave them a lot of play in Washington. There's always the temptation to be that. So it's always been harder to kill the filibuster than people expect. I've been around for 20 years, people have been telling me the Democrats will nuke the filibuster the next time they're in power. And they haven't done it yet. So there's that factor. The other thing about, you know, that get rid of it and put it back. And we're looking at this is the power of norms, this is the power of tradition. The truth is once the filibuster is destroyed, it will be gone. That's the way of it. Yet there is this power it exerts as long as it exists. So you can't really get rid of it and then put it back because it could just be voted away again. What has kept it in place is the fact that it is in place. And so if you're going to approach the matter of getting rid of the filibuster, of making it a 50 vote thing instead of a 60 vote thing, you do have to think about the timing of it. What really will justify you getting rid of it. And I'd say the only, in my opinion, strong argument in favor of this is at least if you're doing this, you're probably to bring back snap. You're probably doing it for something that most Americans generally approve of. Whereas if you're nuking the filibuster to push a, you know, a very strong right wing priority that Maybe isn't polling 80, 20, that could produce some political blowback. But the reason, that's why you want to do it at the start of your term too. You do your most aggressive, most ambitious stuff right at the outset. Whereas if we're getting rid of it now, we're unlikely to pass any of those big immigration reform things we want to do because they'll be all nervous. They won't want to do big, ambitious stuff during the midterm election year.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, here's, here's what I would say. Trump is not going to have the votes to get rid of the filibuster. Right. I mean, let's just be honest. We've got, we've got four Republicans that have just gone against him on tariffs. Right. It's going to die in the House. There's, there's, it's dead in the water anyways. But you're not going to, you're not going to get the filibuster nuked anyways. The question I have is more of a theoretical question. Would we be better off without the filibuster? Both ways. Here's my thought. The Democrats have more lasting change that they can accomplish with Puerto rico and Washington, D.C. becoming states. You can't undo that. If that, if that happens. You can't, you can't roll those things back, really. I mean, you could probably, but it's highly unlikely. I'd give it a.001% chance that once you create two states, you could undo the creation of states. I don't know what the legalities of that are. Those are two lasting, permanent changes that they could affect within the body politics. So the question is, do we have similarly worthwhile changes that we could affect? Could we create East Washington, East Oregon? I don't know. But the point is, the options at the disposal of the Democrats are far scarier than the options we have now. I do believe that immigration, it would be such a huge, huge change to the country, but I'm still not convinced that we have the votes for that. I guarantee you Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul, these guys would still try and block a really robust immigration reform policy even if we nuke the filibuster.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, I think in the long run, this is a longer session. Maybe we should even go through the break to discuss this, because in the long run, I do think there is. Yeah, let's do that. Let's go into the break because I want to give us a long answer to that. Like, the filibusters had a very warping effect on American federal politics. And it's very interesting what would happen if we got rid of it. Let's get into the, into that in the break.

I'm Beau Davidson with your real America's Voice. News headlines President Trump is calling on the US Senate to initiate what he calls the nuclear option and get rid of the filibuster in order to bypass Democrats and reopen the government. The filibuster is a long standing tactic in the Senate to give the minority party a check and balance on legislation. Overcoming a filibuster requires 60 votes, but doing away with the practice altogether would allow the majority party to move legislation along a party line vote. In this case, it would allow the Senate's 53 Republicans to reopen the government despite Democrat roadblocks. Meanwhile, Americans who depend on federal food aid assistance through the SNAP program are bracing for the loss of those benefits. Starting tomorrow, food aid will stop as a result of the government shutdown and lack of funding for the program. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance is warning that the ongoing government shutdown is setting the stage for a holiday disaster during the upcoming Thanksgiving travel season. While meeting with the heads of American and United Airlines at the White House Thursday, the vice president emphasizing that 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Safety Administration agents are being forced to work without a paycheck. Take a look. I don't think Americans should be afraid.

[Charlie Kirk]

To fly because we've got great airline professionals who are keeping the safest aviation industry in the world afloat. But they're doing it with incredible stress. What I worry more about is that if you have, let's say, a pilot who's now missed two paychecks, who's now.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Telling his kids that they can't do.

[Charlie Kirk]

Things that they'd like to do, who's.

[Beau Davidson]

Now worried about feeding his family, maybe.

[Charlie Kirk]

That guy doesn't show up to work, maybe goes and gets a different job, that means greater delays for the American people.

[Beau Davidson]

I worry about the air traffic controller.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Who now has missed two paychecks, who's.

[Charlie Kirk]

Got to pay his credit card bill or his mortgage but can't pay both.

[Beau Davidson]

And decides, you, you know what?

[Andrew Colvitt]

This industry is not for me.

[Beau Davidson]

Now, while flight delays and cancellations have been negligible so far, airline industry leaders expect that the change in the coming days and weeks. They're also encouraging Senate Democrats to vote of a clean CR in order to reopen the government so that airline workers can get their paychecks and focus on keeping the country's airways safe. Now to news from across the pond where King Charles has stripped his younger brother, Prince Andrew, of all of his titles and kicked him out of his royal home. Those are your headlines. We return now to the Charlie Kirk Program.

[Charlie Kirk]

The voice of generations is the Charlie Kirk show.

[Andrew Colvitt]

All right. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I want to tell you guys really quickly before we bring in the one and only Michael Knowles, who's just been testifying before the Senate subcommittee was really important, actually, and very relevant to this show. But first I'm gonna tell you about Hillsdale College, history, economics, the great works of literature. Did you study these things in school? Probably not. But even if you did, it's probably time for a really important refresher course from the one and only Dr. Larry Arn, who's put out this amazing new eight lecture course where you're gonna learn about four novels, 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, and that Hideous Strength Even though these novels were written in the 1930s and 40s, they are more relevant today than probably ever before. You're going to learn about what tyrannical governments can do to your country, to human nature. More importantly, they show us that faith, family and friends and this country are worth fighting for. So maybe you read these books long ago in school. Maybe you heard others talking about them and they seem intimidating. They don't have to be. Let Hillsdale College help you make the most of them. So right now, go to Charlie for hillsdale.com to enroll, that's charlieforhillsdale.com C-H-A R L I E.com or for hillsdale.com to enroll. Plus, there's like 40 other courses you can take. If this one doesn't strike your fancy, you can find one that does. I guarantee you. Learn, learn. Be an autodidact. It's so important. It's what Charlie taught us. All right, without further ado, I'm so excited to bring in Michael Knowles, host of the Michael Knowles show and just all around good American, good Catholic American, because that seems to be I want to actually, I'm going to get into that with you, Michael Little, JD Vance, dust up about usha, but we're going to start with the most important. Tell us what you did this week. You went before the U.S. senate. It was a subcommittee hearing on the rise of political violence. It was hosted and chaired by Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri. Tell us what that was all about, Michael.

[Michael Knowles]

It was a really important hearing. I was honored to be invited and to go testify. Chairman Schmidt called it, and as timely a moment as you could imagine. He opened it, by the way, with a beautiful tribute to Charlie. And if people haven't gone to see the testimony, just even that opening, I think, was really beautiful. And that was obviously the cause of the testimony because there's been a lot of political violence and it has been increasing. There was a Pew poll just came out and 85% of Americans think that political violence is getting worse in our country. When 85% of Americans agree on anything, I think you can acknowledge that it's happening. And so he said, all right, obviously this is a long standing problem that has reached this horrific, tragic climax in Charlie's assassination and in the reaction to Charlie's assassination and the minimizing and the excusing and the justifying and even the celebrating at all levels of the American left. And so we need to figure out what's really going on here. So I felt it was important to go. The Democrats called their own minority witnesses. What was really disappointing is that half the Democrats on the panel didn't even show up. The ones who did show up asked, I thought, ridiculous questions, you know, they would just bring up January 6th or whatever. They wouldn't even let us answer on the points of January 6th, I think because they know the answers would be devastating to them. And then there was one moment in particular that I thought was really crazy. Cuz one of the guys on this subcommittee is Cory Booker. And Cory Booker has endorsed Jay Jones for Attorney General of Virginia. Jay Jones who has called for Republicans to be killed. And he's clarified he wasn't joking about that. So Cory Booker shows up late, he uses up all his time just bloviating, saying it's really a both sides issue, but actually secretly it's entirely a right wing issue. And anyway, we need to be more careful about our words. We need to take back our words when we say things we shouldn't have said. We need to be introspective. The questioning then goes to Senator Blackburn on the other side of the room. I'm listening to her and I say, okay, well that's a good question, but I wanna get back to something Senator Booker said. If he's really serious about this, it seems like he's setting the stage to withdraw his endorsement from Jay Jones. He should do that now. I turn Booker left the room. There's a Cory Booker shaped hole in the wall. The whole thing on the Democrat side was completely disingenuous. It was crocodile tears. And the conclusion that I have to reach from that is the Democrats don't want to talk about political violence because one, it's coming from the left, even the Atlantic magazine admits it, and two, because their base supports it. And I can't come to any conclusion other than the Democrats in government are more or less fine with the political violence too.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, I fear you're right, Michael. There's a clip here that from Jennifer Welch, who I confess I had no idea who she was until about a week ago. And she apparently has amassed quite a following as a podcaster. She's a former Bravo reality star that became a podcaster and she says some pretty troubling things that lead me to believe that your conclusions reached after this subcommittee hearing are sadly more likely than not true. Play cut 283.

[Anabe Sofas Advertiser]

So listen up Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with.

[Charlie Kirk]

This or we're coming after you in the same way that we come after maga, period. They're that are beholden to the same.

[Anabe Sofas Advertiser]

Corporations that Donald Trump, that helped Donald Trump get elected. Kudos to Bernie, to aoc, to Zoron.

[Andrew Colvitt]

And that woman out in somewhere middle.

[Charlie Kirk]

America saying Charlie Kirk, he was a.

[Emily Maitlis and John Sopel]

Racist, he was a piece.

[Charlie Kirk]

There are so many more of us than there are of them.

[Anabe Sofas Advertiser]

And these Democrats that continue to play patty cake with corporations, nobody wants that. Nobody wants you.

[Andrew Colvitt]

So Michael, is she right that the Democrat base does not want to moderate? That they do not want to confront the demons in their own closet and their own activist militant base?

[Michael Knowles]

You know the polls as well as I. After Charlie's assassination, YouGov conducted surveys showed that people who identify as very liberal are eight times as likely as people who are very conservative to justify political violence.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Let's throw that Image up. This is 31. Image 31 please. And I believe this is the poll you're looking at. And that crazy, we've shown it a number of times on this show, Michael, but this is to me the scariest graph that exists exists in American politics today where you have 18 to 39 year old self described progressives with that wild standout node, that blue left dot on the screen where and you contrast that with the same age group among conservatives and they are among the most, if not the most peaceful of all the cohorts on this survey.

[Michael Knowles]

Well this is what's really scary. This is kind of like the second part. So if you just look at all age groups, very liberal, eight times as likely to justify political violence as very conservative, then you zoom in on what you're showing and it breaks it down by young people, middle aged people, older people, and if you look at the older people, the liberals and the conservatives, basically about the same. Liberals are a little more likely to support political violence, but it's almost the same moderates, the least likely of all. When you zoom back to the younger groups, something changes. First of all, the moderates and the conservatives flip. The young conservatives are much less likely than the young moderates to support political violence. They're the least likely of that age group. Then it's moderates and then the young liberals spike in their support up to 26% for political violence. So not only is this today a major problem on the left, it's getting worse cuz you're looking at the young people. It's a crystal ball for the future. So I suspect Jennifer Welch is probably right about this. I, like you had never heard of her and never seen her face before that viral clip. However, she's not just some fringe nobody There are other interviews where she's sat down with Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat leader in the House. In that interview, he lauds her, he praises her, and she says, oh, I've sat down with a bunch of your colleagues too. So you know, this is not an aberration. I think every single data point we see, the public opinion polls, the statements of the prominent liberals, all the way down to what we were discussing at the Senate testimony, which is the actual cases of political violence, they're coming from the left. What's so amazing about those data now is that even the Atlantic has to admit, okay, political violence is primarily a left wing problem, not a right wing problem. Today that's using data sets that don't even count all the left wing violence. Because if you look at all of these data sets and even the federal numbers, they're not counting the BLM riots that left dozens of people dead and billion dollars in property damage, that doesn't count as left wing political violence. They're not counting all sorts of attacks.

[Andrew Colvitt]

On pros, the Tesla lifers, the Tesla.

[Michael Knowles]

Tesla attacks, the Tesla dealerships. And then the incident that I was called to testify about was a campus event at University of Pittsburgh. Two Antifa operatives who are card carrying members of Antifa show up, throw an explosive at cops, seriously injure a female police officer. These are people who were claimed by the Torch Antifa network. TORCH Antifa soliciting donations through a tax exempt nonprofit organization. For them, this is as clear ideological violence as you can possibly imagine. That incident was not counted as left wing political violence. And so the only conclusion you can reach is that the left doesn't commit a lot of political violence when you don't count the political violence the left commits.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Interesting. Interesting how that works. It just seems like, you know, the go to grab bag option of the American left in 2025 is to just simply, you know, rig the results in your favor. But Michael, you can't argue with this. I believe this is the article you're, you're talking about. Throw up. 337 top Trump officials are moving on to military bases. Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior military officials. So this is straight from the Atlantic. And it is no longer safe for members of the Trump administration to live out in the general public. They have to be housed in secure military bases for their own safety and for their family safety. This is what it's come to.

[Michael Knowles]

What's crazy, that's actually not even the article I was referencing. There's another article that says left wing terrorism is on the rise. That's the headline. I actually hadn't even seen this headline until you just showed it to me. The fact that we have civilians, we have people just working in our government, ordinary political order, who now have to move to secure locations for military leaders, it shows you that something really horrific has happened in this country. As if the Rubicon has been crossed. I suspect that happened when the Democrats started prosecuting Trump, you know, the chief political opponent and the predecessor, when they started raiding his home, when they started going after all of their enemies and even justifying his assassination, which nearly happened in Butler, nearly happened again, actually, later on. It does feel like something just seismically has shifted in the political order, and it's a lot bigger than some one podcaster making nasty comments or, I don't know, one Democrat in Congress. It seems like this is a major shift of the whole left.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, it feels like the whole tree has, has become rotten from the root. And the. It. It does feel like there is a seismic shift. It's an ideological movement, wide shift. And you could see it about the way that they talk about President Trump or they talk about Charlie. Nazi, fascist, bigot, racist, homophobe, xenophobe. All of this language that has basically said this movement is a bunch of Nazis. And what did we have to do with Hitler? We had to eventually, you know, take him out. Right. And I think that's becoming wide, more widely and widely accepted within the left wing political movement. Michael Knowles. Ten seconds, then I gotta, gotta take a profit timeout.

[Michael Knowles]

Just listen to Joe Biden. Get it from the horse's mouth. Is it the horse's mouth? Some part of the horse. When you say that there's an existential threat to the country. As he said about Trump, existential threats are a justification for assassination. I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, I'm concerned you're right. Michael, real quick, I want to tell you about the tax extension deadline may have passed, but for millions of Americans, the real trouble is just beginning. If you miss the October 15th deadline or owe back taxes, the IRS is ramping up enforcement. Every day you wait. That's the key here. Don't wait. Every day you wait only makes things worse. And here's the harsh reality. The IRS can charge a penalty of 5% per month, up to 25% of your total tax bill just for not filing. That's in addition to what you already owe. The good news. There's still time for Tax Network USA to help self employed or business owner if that's you. Even if your books are a mess, they've got you covered.

Charlie Kirk show where talk meets action.

[Andrew Colvitt]

All right, we're back and I want to give Michael his due. He got a great moment. 264 Play it Democrats have lied about.

[Michael Knowles]

The statistics on political violence. They've covered them up. They've shed what I think we have to reasonably conclude are crocodile tears, and they want to pretend that nothing's happened. Senator Booker came in. He said we shouldn't cast any aspersions. We shouldn't say that the violence comes from one side or the other. He then launched into a diatribe about how the violence really comes from the right. And then before I had a chance to respond to that, he left the room. And I think it's particularly rich and hypocritical coming from someone like Senator Booker because Senator Booker continues to endorse a man who would be a top law enforcement official in the state who is called for the murder of Republicans and our children. But to your point, Martha, you know, looking at Ole Miss tonight, looking at this amazing show of unity from the vice president and from Erica Kirk and looking at all of the students who are going to come out and support a healthy exchange and a good future for our country, they give me a lot more hope than the Democrats on Capitol Hill do.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well said, Michael Knowles. We're going to welcome back our national radio audience in just one second. Hang right there and we'll be right back. All right. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I want to bring in Blake and Mikey in the studio, if they're still there for this conversation. This is a really important stuff, actually, because it, it kind of went, I, I think a night one right after Ole Miss. Nobody really talked about it, Michael. But then the day after, the day after, people are talking about that they think JD Was so rude to his wife, Usha, and he can't, they can't believe that he would want his wife to become a Christian. So let's play the, the clip from the Ole Miss event. 286. Play it now.

[Charlie Kirk]

Most Sundays, Usha will come with me to church. As I've told her and I've said publicly and I'll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends, do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved in by church?

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, I honestly, I do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes.

[Charlie Kirk]

To see it the same way.

[Andrew Colvitt]

So I wanted to bring in, obviously, Mikey is the son of a pastor. Blake is a Catholic. You're a Catholic. We're all Christians here. Is that rude to say that you hope your wife would eventually one day see the world and have faith like you do?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, I think it's crazy because Christianity has proven you live a happier life. Charlie used to talk about it was the missing piece for everybody. Once you found that missing piece, you lived the life that was there for you. And he would argue about the necessity of God over the existence of one. And so no more than you would wish someone who's an alcoholic to no longer be an alcoholic, would you wish for them to find Christianity the missing piece that would bring them peace and happiness? Yeah, it's.

[Propane Advertiser]

I don't know.

[Charlie Kirk]

I basically have nothing to add over what Mikey said there. It's very bizarre to say, I guess, like, J.D. vance wants what he thinks is best for his spouse, whom he loves. And, you know, someone has to come.

[Michael Knowles]

In and do that.

[Andrew Colvitt]

This has become quite a controversy online. I was looking. So JD Is reacting to a clip from Was acyn. I never know how to say that, guys. His Twitter hander. But, you know, Lefty on Twitter on X and that thing has 10 million like. It's a lot of engagement. Michael, is this just much ado about nothing? I mean, is the better than that? Go ahead.

[Michael Knowles]

It's much ado about something. It's just something good. I mean, I think we need to state it out the gate. What JD And Erica did was magnificent. The fact that Erica has the strength to do this is just superhuman, first of all. And then what the vice president did in the Q and A was magnificent. I know we're all admirers of the vice president here. He was pitch perfect. I would not have changed one syllable about any answer he gave. It was just a phenomenal showing on all of these different matters and some questions that were a little bit hostile. And on this, I think you're seeing the poison of secularism and atheism in our culture setting in people's reactions. Because it's not that they disagree with the vice president on religion. It's that they don't even seem to know what religion is. But JD Understands what religion is, and he has a living faith. And so, as we've all said here, he wants what he believes to be good for his wife. He recognizes that religion is not just like a taste. You know, you like chocolate, and I like vanilla. He recognizes that religion is a habit of virtue that inclines the will to give to God what he deserves. It's not a question of like or dislike, and it's a question of truth or falsehood. And so he's being very respectful to people of other faiths, including his wife, of course, but many other people, too. He's Just saying, look, I have this view of religious truth and I think that truth and goodness and beauty and all these things go together. And so because I love my wife and by extension, by the way, because I love other people, I want to share that with you. You know, that is the Great Commission. That is the gospel. That's like the whole point, guys. And the fact that people would attack him for it is one thing. The fact that they don't even understand what he's saying is so damning about our culture and how we think about the deepest questions.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I think that's exactly right. Blake and Mikey, take us home at the end of this hour One with Michael Knowles. The floor is your guys.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, the other thing that I love too, not just the religious aspect of JD's speech, but also he's backstage and he just goes, what was the thing that Charlie used to always say, disagreements come to the front of the line? And I was like, yeah, yeah, that's it. And he goes, I'm going to do that tonight. And I just keep telling everybody, you can't even find a senator, a congressman, or any person on the right who's a public speaker that would welcome disagreements at the front of the line, let alone the Vice President of the United States who has much to lose. I hope it spreads because we've seen how much better JD has gotten from just being in the arena all the time, whether it's on the Sunday shows or doing something like this. And think how much better our politicians would be as a class if this was expected of all our senators and representatives. Make them be smart people who can answer hostile questions on, you know, on the fly. We'll get better politicians and that means better laws. Yeah, it really reminds me of Charlie. Like I just, I see a little bit of Charlie and JD and how he does that. Speaking of taking questions, we're doing it in the next hour.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yep. Michael Knowles, we thank you, my friend. Making the time. Appreciate you.

[Michael Knowles]

Good to be with you guys. Thanks.

All you have to do is text America to the number 989898 for a free info kit and to claim your eligibility for free Silver with qualifying purchases before the end of the month. Again, that's the word. America to 989-898 do it today. And now let's get to today's headlines. Here's some news from across the the pond where King Charles has stripped his younger brother Prince Andrew of all of his titles and kicked him out of his royal home. The 65 year old former prince is being punished over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier this month he was even forced to stop using his title of Duke of York. Now the disgraced royal is simply known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. In a statement, Buckingham palace writes, quote, these censures are deemed necessary notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him, unquote. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been and will remain with the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse. Andrew will move from his current royal estate to a private residence in eastern England. However, he'll reportedly continue to be financially supported by his older brother King Charles. Meanwhile, the FBI has apparently thwarted a potential terrorist attack on X. FBI Director Kash Patel posted the following this morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend. More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 247 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland. And in some global news, the President had his highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping yesterday. The trade truce entails a reduction of Chinese export tariffs from 57% to 47% as a result of Xi's promise to reduce fentanyl coming into the United States. Trump also said that China will resume buying soybeans from America, which had been a major issue for for American farmers. China also agreed to back off limits of rare earth minerals in exchange for the US Also backing off some of its own export restrictions. Now the minerals are critical to military equipment and other technology. This meeting capped off a week in Asia meeting with leaders of Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. And it also appears that the Justice Department is turning up the heat on the use of auto pen by former President Joe Biden. AG Pam Bondi stated that the investigation is centering on Delaware and Washington, D.C. this comes on the heels of a 100 page report that the House Oversight Committee has released probing the Biden White House inner circle and whether there was knowledge of the ex President's mental decline and a cover up of auto pen allegations. We will keep you up to speed with any developments from the Justice Department and the ag. Yesterday four Republican senators voted with Democrats to approve a bipartisan resolution to repeal President Trump's global tariffs, including steeper rates on longtime allies such as the European Union, Japan and South Korea. Senator Rand Paul, the GOP sponsor of the resolution, and Senators Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted for it. The measure is likely only symbolic, though, as Speaker Mike Johnson is unlikely to bring it up for a vote in the House. Now President Trump is calling on the US Senate to initiate what he calls the nuclear option option and get rid of the filibuster in order to bypass Democrats and reopen the government. The filibuster is a long standing tactic in the Senate to give the minority party a check and balance on legislation. Overcoming a filibuster requires 60 votes, but doing away with the practice altogether would allow the majority party to move legislation along a party line vote. Those are your headlines. We'll be right back to Charlie Kirk in just a few moments.

[Andrew Colvitt]

All right. Welcome back to hour two of the Charlie Kirk Show. This is Friday hour two, which means we take your questions the ask us anything our members.charlie kirk.com if you want to join. You want to ask questions. So first up we have Josh. Josh, can you hear me? Yes, I can. There you are, Josh, what's going on?

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, I got a question here for Ohio and campaigns. I know that Vivek is a big.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Friend, was a big friend of Charlie's and TPUSA and part of the War room posse wanted to find out if.

[Charlie Kirk]

TP USA has any plans to help campaign here in Ohio for governor.

[Andrew Colvitt]

And then also two part of the.

[Charlie Kirk]

Question with the redistricting that's supposed to.

[Michael Knowles]

Happen here in Ohio.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I know our biggest challenge is the Rhino state Supreme Court justices and want to see if TP USA is involved or might be involved with say the war room in getting our state redistrict for Republicans. Yeah. So the backstory here is that there is a redistricting plan that actually Governor DeWine has ultimately decided to endorse and support which is a good sign which would take it up from 10 out of the 15 seats in Ohio that would favor Republicans to 12 out of the 15 districts that would favor favor Republicans. So yeah, your, your, your point is well made on the Supreme Court. That's going to be because the maps have to be submitted and approved by the state Supreme Court. And so that's going to be the big fight there. I, I will immediately after the show get involved with or I'll get in contact with Tyler Boyer on this on the C4 side turning point action. I've seen some, some, let's just say communication going back and forth on that. We are supportive of the redistricting and in Indiana where we unfortunately got flummoxed by a one holdout Republican. But I think, I think Ohio has a good shot of going through because you have somebody like DeWine that's voiced his public support for the, for, for that effort. So to the extent that Turning Point actually could be helpful, we 1000% want to be and we can get you more answers on exactly how that might look in, in shows to Come.

[Propane Advertiser]

Perfect.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Thank you. Yeah. And I think Vivek's going to end up running away with, with the nominee nomination and the governorship in Ohio. That's just my personal opinion. And, you know, we're very supportive of. We're still in communication with Vivek and. Yeah, that's. I mean, what do you think about that race? I like the deck.

[Beau Davidson]

Only problem is the Ohio GOP is.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Corrupt and they've already endorsed the candidate.

[Charlie Kirk]

Before a primary, which I think a.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Lot of people might have issues with that. They did the same thing when DeWine was running. They endorsed him before a primary and ran.

[Beau Davidson]

I forget her name, their Lieutenant Governor.

[Charlie Kirk]

Kasich, out of the race and she.

[Beau Davidson]

Was the conservative there.

[Charlie Kirk]

So.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, I like the vec. I'm excited about him and I think he's the best candidate we have here in Ohio. Yeah, that's been our conclusion as well. I don't know if Blake or Mike have anything to add, but, but you know, we in general are very supportive of the redistricting. I will tell you.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't have too much to add to that. You know, we're, we're supportive of, I don't think just regarding Vivek specifically. We haven't endorsed anyone specifically in that primary. I know there's still multiple people running. We will obviously be supportive of whoever the Republican is. It seems like Vivek is doing very well. And if he's the candidate, we will, of course, back him and we'll back him on. We'll back the redistricting effort, which has become very popular all across the country. Pretty straightforward on that front. If it gets, if it becomes about, you know, rejiggering the state Supreme Court, we'll be involved in that, too. Although that's. Man, there's so many layers to this. It starts off with us just having to, you know, try to redraw maps and then it's a, okay, now we have to win an election and then we have to, we have to recall or replace state supreme court justices. And then this suddenly is a multi year thing. It's, it's quite the, it's quite the process.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah. And just for the record, I do want one, one minor little correction while Blake is right on the turning point action side. Charlie did endorse Vivek for governor personally before, obviously, he was taken from us. So. Next question. Who's next? Let's do Christine.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, let's do Christine.

[Anabe Sofas Advertiser]

Hi, guys.

[Andrew Colvitt]

How are you today? Hey, Christine. Doing well. How are you?

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm good. I'm good. I'm sure we all want this shutdown to end, right?

[Andrew Colvitt]

This Democratic driven shutdown at 31 days.

[Charlie Kirk]

I was wondering if we could use the TPUSA platform to maybe encourage five moderate Democratic senators to.

[Michael Knowles]

Who might likely flip, maybe a viral.

[Charlie Kirk]

Campaign could flip their votes for a clean cr. Thoughts on leading that charge? Do we, do we really feel we're the right people to make Democrats change their POVs on that one? I feel almost like, I feel dirty, like I'm in an oil slick on myself.

[Michael Knowles]

But we.

[Charlie Kirk]

Shouldn't we be the ones encouraging them to do the right thing, to find the phone numbers and to call the office and. Yeah, yeah, we've done things like that in the past.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, there's a few senators that have shown that they are looking for an excuse, so Slotkin would be one of them, obviously. Fetterman, there are swing state senators that are looking down the barrel of electoral upheaval if they don't get the government open and if they fear credibly that they are going to be saddled with some of the blame for this. So I think, I think your, your instinct is right and I think once again, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take this recommendation. Tyler and I have a call this afternoon. So we're gonna take it right to turning point action. I don't think it's a bad idea. Anything can help. But again, we have a, we have a couple races that we're looking at, right? We're looking at Virginia, we're looking at New Jersey. We are sort of, that's our focus right now. We have to be prudent about the way we deploy resources and money is finite. And so we just have to be, we have to be good stewards of that. And at the end of the day, this is not our main focus, if I'm being candid with you. And I think Democrats are going to have to realize that. I think that they've already maximized the amount of political upside for themselves with the shutdown, but we don't know how it's going to play out. We really don't. And I think when you, we talked about this in hour one with the government or with Trump sort of bringing up nuking the filibuster, I think that's saber rattling. I think that's to scare Dems and to get them compliant and to break ranks and finally open the government back up with a clean cr. So that's my personal opinion on the matter. But we have a, another question here from Michael. Michael, if you are with us, unmute yourself. You're welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes. Good day.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Hey, Michael, how you doing? Which question am I to ask?

[Charlie Kirk]

I gave you two. Whichever one you prefer.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, whichever. All right, well, I like them both, but I'll go with the North Carolina one first.

[Charlie Kirk]

You know, we, we have suffered from, I think a lack of really Republican senators here in North Carolina. The burrs left now. Tillis has left. We've got that seat available. Looks like Cooper and Whatley are going to be running, you know, what do you think? While he's a first time candidate for anything, his chances of winning this state and I guess will TP Action be working in North Carolina? Have you decided to make a move to help us here?

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, North Carolina is an interesting state. Blake, I don't mean to talk over the top of you. It is a, I think it's, you know, the definition of a purple state, but we're maybe like light red, pink, especially on these state level races. Right. You had Dan Bishop running for ag. Didn't get in. He was a great candidate. It's a tough state to, to, to win at the, you know, whether it's senators or governorship, it tends to kind of like flip back and forth between, you know, governor and ag and senators and presidential races. So it's just one of those crazy states. But we do have a good track record of winning senators from the state of North Carolina. So let's hope that that holds. As far as Michael Whatley goes, you know, Michael's been a friend of Turning Point. Turning Point Action, friend of Charlie's. I think he did a great job as chair of the rnc. And this is the candidate that President Trump wants. And so I think once you get that endorsement, there sort of necessarily has to be a coalescing of support around a single horse so we can get that horse over the top. So I haven't, I don't have more than that for you right now. As far as what, again, Turning Point Action. Listen, we get asked to go in a billion directions and I just want to say we've gotten really good at saying no. Something Charlie told us. And we have to point our resources where they're going to be the highest and best use of those resources. We'll be right back.

It is Halloween today. Blake. Do we say happy Halloween on this show? Like, what's. You know, what are the rules, Mike?

[Charlie Kirk]

Mikey's an anti Halloween. I'm an anti Halloweener hater. We should have had you last night. I know. I had a dinner. I had to make the dinner. You could have blown off the dinner.

[Beau Davidson]

Are you a Halloween fan?

[Andrew Colvitt]

I am.

[Charlie Kirk]

I am pro Halloween. That's not gonna work for us.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I'm. I'm pro, too. Charlie and I would disagree about this. To be fair, Charlie was very against it. He was very against it.

[Charlie Kirk]

Charlie was like.

[Andrew Colvitt]

He thought it was. He thought it was playing with the Occult and toying.

[Charlie Kirk]

Don't play with the occult. Don't. Don't do Ouija horse. Then my whole thing is. Okay, you guys are the exception. I would say a majority of people, they play along. So it's a problem. Just get rid of it. Just like the filibuster. Most people just do spooky, scary skeleton stuff. Nuke it.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

New coloring.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Most of it's just kitschy. And I will tell you, my kids love it. They dress up like princesses and ninjas, and we go to a party with a bunch of other Christians. We do the whole harvest party thing, and then we go trick or treating. And then when it gets like a little too dark, we. Everybody comes home. And then they get candy and they're excited, and then we make them only eat one piece a day.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, I do not have kids. Charlie was letting himself get a little too swayed by the same. You know, he was a Protestant. You Protestants, well, you give you guys too much rope. And you guys want to ban Christmas.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I'm just saying, like, Blake, let's. Let's open it up to the audience. You tell us, are you pro or anti Halloween? Send us an email. Freedom Charlie Kirk.com Blake will be forced to read them even if they disagree with Blake's position on Halloween and mine. That's freedom. Charliekirk.com we want to know what you think about Halloween. You know, a lot of people argue about the roots of it. Is it Christian? Is it not Christian? Let's say. Anthony, you're up next. Hi, guys. Hey, Anthony. How you doing?

[Michael Knowles]

Good. So my question is this.

[Andrew Colvitt]

My High School, McQuaid Jesuit in Rochester, New York, there are 90 plus students in three staff or faculty members that have signed a petition to start a turning point chapter. They have had two meetings with administration. And it's the way it goes. It's the principal and the dean of students, which is the assistant principal.

[Michael Knowles]

Because it is a private school, the.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Dean of students is supportive of the boys.

[Michael Knowles]

The principal is refusing to look at any petition. He's refusing to hear anything out.

[Andrew Colvitt]

He is refusing to talk. And this makes it even weirder. A board of trustee member or a.

[Michael Knowles]

Board member at the school even went to the principal, and the principal refused.

[Andrew Colvitt]

To list the he or she. But the school allows a gender equity.

[Michael Knowles]

Club, a black student union, a pride.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Club, and when I graduated in, I'll say it, the class of 2002, we.

[Michael Knowles]

Never had that because the slogan was men for others.

[Andrew Colvitt]

And we didn't care what you looked like. And now all Of a sudden, it's starting to shift the boy. The students are conservative.

[Michael Knowles]

The staff is leaning. With some staff is leaning to the left.

[Andrew Colvitt]

And I found out from the TP.

[Michael Knowles]

Rep, who's been great, that some staff.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Or faculty are actually making nasty comments to the boys about the chapter not being approved. How do we, myself or other alums go about helping them? Because 90 plus students in a school.

[Michael Knowles]

Of a little less than 700 and.

[Andrew Colvitt]

This is 6th through 12th grade.

[Charlie Kirk]

First off, why am I just not surprised this is happening at a Jesuit institution? I needed to say that. Jesuits, man, they're something really wrong.

[Andrew Colvitt]

University in New Orleans, where the student government said no to the chapter.

[Michael Knowles]

That's probably going to go to a.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Lawsuit, and that'll change everything. But, like, how can these boys get support nationally? And I've made comments on private Facebook groups, and it's gone viral in the community.

[Michael Knowles]

Even my own high school is trying to just.

[Propane Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Rochester, New York.

[Charlie Kirk]

In what school?

[Andrew Colvitt]

McQuade Jesuit. It is in the town of Brighton, but it uses the address of Rochester, New York. I've actually been discredited. The TP rep said there's been talk about you being discredited, not being on Charlie show before and everything.

[Michael Knowles]

So I sent her the clip of.

[Andrew Colvitt]

The day I called in the Friday.

[Michael Knowles]

Before the memorial to share my memory.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah. And everything so. Well, we totally have your back. And I think we should probably blow this up a little bit more. Yeah. Oh, I think we should, because the.

[Michael Knowles]

Principal actually was a counselor at the school, but then worked in the public school system before ever coming to McQuade.

[Andrew Colvitt]

So there's really no tie from what I can see and everything. So, yeah, I would like to blow it up. Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

I mean, I went to a Christian school actually a couple weeks ago. I said they didn't start a chapter. They actually did start a chapter. I know that we've been trying to for years, but leadership is important. Rob Black, who's the president of Oaks Christian, he. He was incredible. He got the chapter approved. He's just the best with. With the school. But not all schools are like that. I mean, Oaks has been great and their chapter is huge right now, but you. These. You gotta just stay on top of it. I mean, we can definitely help. I just wrote it down, but the principal seems like that's the problem there. I. I don't think you guys are as. As blessed as my high school was with. With a great, you know, headmaster and president of the school, but the best.

[Andrew Colvitt]

We have a president, we have school. So you know.

[Michael Knowles]

So it goes president, principal.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Well, actually there's a vice president of operations who leaned to the left a little, I found out.

[Michael Knowles]

So it goes president, vice president, principal.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Dean of students, which is assistant principal. So it goes. Kind of in that pecking order we we unfortunately have to take a radio break, so we'll be right back. More with the Charlie Kirk show coming up.

I'm Bo Davidson with your real America's Voice. News Headlines Some news from across the pond Where King Charles has stripped his younger brother Prince Andrew of all of his titles and kicked him out of his royal home, the 65 year old former prince is being punished over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier this month, he was even forced to stop using his title of the Duke of York. Now the disgraced royal is simply known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. In a statement, Buckingham palace writes, these censures are deemed necessary notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been and will remain with the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse. Andrew will move from his current royal estate to a private residence in eastern England. However, he'll reportedly continue to be financially supported by his older brother, King Charles. Now for some scary news that has been thwarted. Thankfully, the FBI has thwarted a potential terrorist attack on X. FBI Director Kash Patel posted the this morning, the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend. More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere, standing guard 247 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland. We do have to appreciate and support those law enforcement officials. And in some global news, the President had his highly anticipated meeting with Chinese officials, President Xi Jinping yesterday. The trade truce entails a reduction of Chinese export tariffs from 57% to 47% as a result of Xi's promise to reduce fentanyl coming into the United States. Trump also said that China will resume buying soybeans from America, which had been a major issue for American farmers. China also agreed to back off limits of rare earth minerals in exchange for the US Also backing off some of its own excess export restrictions. The minerals are critical to military equipment and other technology. Now, this meeting capped off a big week in Asia. Meeting with leaders of Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. Meanwhile, it appears that the Justice Department is turning up the heat on the use of auto pen by former President Joe Biden. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the investigation is centering on Delaware and Washington, D.C. those are your headlines. Now we return to the Charlie Kirk Show.

[Andrew Colvitt]

All right. Welcome back to the show.

[Charlie Kirk]

Great music.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I love it. Yeah, very good. I. I have a feeling Mikey called for that. So, Andrew Colvin, executive producer of this vine show, Blake Neff, our other producer of this show, Mikey McCoy, Chief of Staff, Turning Point USA. Honored to be with you. Blake, you've got a write in question you want to get to.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes. Yeah. So this is a write in question and it's on something we've gotten a lot of questions about. You can imagine, but I thought this one was well formulated and so Mikey and I wanted to say something to it. So this is from Dennis. He said, just wondering if you would be willing to comment on the recent interview Tucker Carlson had with Nick Fuentes. I was quite frankly surprised as Nick had said some very hurtful comments about both Charlie and Erica Kirk. I wonder if this interview may have platformed Nick personally. I have a very difficult time interview. I would have a very difficult time interviewing someone who made those statements about a dear friend. I understand being willing to have open debate, but there are also boundaries we as believers need to draw as well. Curious for your thoughts. It was from Dennis's email, but it is from Katie. Katie, who is probably his wife, I imagine, wrote that. So thank you, Katie. I wanted. Mikey, I thought you might want to respond first. I know that Charlie, you know, Charlie loved Tucker and specifically Tucker being at America Fest this year, that was a Charlie pick. And I know Charlie was always very anti, what he would call moral blackmail, where people would just kind of say, you can't have, you know, you cannot have this speaker there. And Charlie would respond with, you know, that's all the more reason for me want to want to have this speaker here. He would double, triple down. And so Charlie, that's kind of the Charlie response here, the context there, because some people have said, like, yeah, I want to disinvite Tucker. They want to push Tucker out of the movement because he interviewed Fuentes and all of that. So that's the context for what they're. And Charlie was, as you said, he hate. He used that phrase. He disliked moral blackmail. He was this very combative Scottish guy.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Didn't.

[Charlie Kirk]

If you were going to say, you can't have this person there, that made him more likely want them there. And he faced that pressure repeatedly over the past summer and, you know, pretty much up until, you know, his murder. And so I think that that would strongly influence that. But I actually do. I want to say something brief here. I am disappointed that Tucker did do that interview, at least in the manner that it did. It's perfectly fine to say I am an open platform who will interview and speak with anyone. But what we did get is we did get what was a very friendly interview. That was a chance for someone, for Nick specifically to look very positive, very reasonable. And there was nothing much effort to bring up any. A lot of the reasons people do dislike him. Like, it's not simply that Nick has, like, criticized Israel and so people like Ben Shapiro have attacked him over this. It's more extreme than that. He's used phrase where he Says, like, world Jewry is this, like, thing that we need to fight against. He's referred to Israel as the Antichrist. He has said pretty extreme things. I think he may have even said, you know, implied that we should, like, I think, kick Talmudis out of America. I don't. Don't quote me on that one. I am not an expert on all Fuente's lore, but these things. These are things he said. And I think if you are going to interview him, you should at least bring them up. And instead, it was just this. It was very generous in tone. And, you know, one thing I was thinking about is when Tucker has those guests out onto his show, it's always a very friendly thing where they come out and, like, he has dinner with them. They're there for a while.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

And the natural dynamic there. Tucker's a super friendly guy. Anyone who's met him knows Tucker's very generous. He's very friendly. He's very open. He's very welcoming. And when you're doing that set up for every single person you speak with, he's not going to turn around and then, like, be super tough on a person that he's been having, you know, he. That he had a friendly dinner with just, you know, a matter of hours before. And I think that constructed what that interview was, because if you watch it, he does bring up some of those things he does point out to. To Nick where he says, you know, I don't think your tone is always as helpful as it could be. I don't think that it's good to fixate on, you know, basically to push, like, anti Semitic stuff. But a lot of people didn't really catch that. It came in later, and it wasn't super strongly formulated. And frankly, I'm also going to say this. I'm disappointed he didn't bring up, you know, you are getting in. You would attack Charlie all of the time. You would say these incredibly harsh things about Charlie. I think he called Charlie a false Christian before, and he said hurtful things about Erica and Tucker.

[Beau Davidson]

You.

[Charlie Kirk]

Tucker was friends with Charlie. We know that. And I kind of wish he had stuck up a little more for the man who, among other things, stuck up for him repeatedly. And again, we oppose moral blackmail. We're not going to just cancel Tucker off the face of the earth for this sort of thing. But I'll be truthful, I do wish more had come out of that interview than what we got.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah, Yeah. I think that's well said, Blake. It's like you can be Disappointed with the way the interview was conducted. But you could also realize that, you know, we're going to honor Charlie's wishes. And, you know, we all have relationships with Tucker as well. He's always been nothing but incredibly kind to me and to Blake. Blake has worked with Tucker for a long time, so I think that basically sums that one up. Next up, we have Brandon. Brandon, you are on the Charlie Kirk Show. Welcome.

[Beau Davidson]

Hey, guys.

[Charlie Kirk]

So I'm writing a research paper on the negative effects of immigration in the United Kingdom, and no shortage of those. No shortage of those. Yeah, it's a pretty easy paper to write, but I was wondering what podcast it was that. I think it was you, Blake, talking about your experience in the UK When Charlie was debating at Oxford, you were talking about, like, the businesses and how you couldn't understand the language for the most of them.

[Beau Davidson]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, man.

[Beau Davidson]

We'll.

[Charlie Kirk]

We'll. We'll get. Definitely. I'll try to shoot us an email at Freedom Charlie Kirk or. And I'll try to, like, get a more detailed look at that. But I can repeat. Yeah, repeat it. Let's get some red meat for you.

[Andrew Colvitt]

We're gonna get some red meat.

[Charlie Kirk]

Mikey was with us, too. Mikey was with us, too. We landed in the uk. We were staying in Knightsbridge, was the neighborhood.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, talk about the TV channel. Yeah, yeah. So we're in Knightsbridge. This is a neighborhood, an expensive neighborhood. Central London. You are walking distance from Buckingham Palace. You're walking distance from everything. Every, you know, Westminster and a ton of the businesses, expensive businesses. They have Arabic language lettering on the. On the windows. So in Arabic, we're looking. I went into our hotel, and our hotel was this weird, hideous thing. It looked like a prison that you'd, like, keep Lex Luthor in. But anyway, I was flipping through the TV channels of our hotel, and maybe out of 60 channels or something, I would say 20 to 30 of them were in eastern languages. There was several Saudi channels. We had the Saudi children's channel. They were playing a Spyro Yemen, the Dragon TV show, but in Arabic. There was a Lebanese Omani, Yemen, Stani there Yemeni. All of these channels. And again, this is in presumably a hotel. A lot of, you know, wealthy, you know, Muslim, Arab visitors would stay in. And you saw the signs everywhere. You're just walking through London, and I will say the food was really good, but every storefront was just Arabic writing. You could really feel like you were in a country that has been. That is being kind of taken over, being culturally converted. I remember Seeing signs, no. Antisocial driving, I thought was an interesting one. I looked that up. They people, they drive very antisocially in London now, or even a minor one that really thought. Got me thinking. There was a statue to some guy who had a role in British India 150 years ago. And I could tell that someone had, like. Like, mildly defaced this. Like they were scratching out, like, the India on the statue. And you just think, like, Britain has brought in people who are hostile to Britain's history. Yep. Britain's people. British. I mean, British religion. Yes. And we're seeing this, you know, churches are being converted into mosques. There are far more Muslim believers now in London than there are Christian believers. It's like you take London in all of its beauty, you keep it the same, but you add more trash on the streets. And then Arabic writing everywhere. Yeah. It seems similar. Truly heartbreaking. Not. And you really. And you'll see this, Brandon, if you look up, like the statements we had members of the British Parliament who were spiking the football because an Israeli soccer team was going to play in Birmingham. A ton of Muslims in Birmingham. And they just campaigned. They said the fans of this Israeli soccer team should not be allowed to attend this game. And they successfully got that to happen. They banned the fans from this game. And then these Muslim MPs celebrated this. They just publicly celebrated it. I think it might be in Manchester, where in the most recent election that they had in the uk, someone ran as an independent, so not part of the Conservative or Labour Party, just as an independent. And they said they're running as the Palestinian party, just that that was their.

[Beau Davidson]

Only thing they're running on.

[Charlie Kirk]

He won. And there's polls where they ask people. This is a recent poll, just this month. You can look this up, Brandon, where they were asking by different background what you think the top issues are. And so for white British people, the number one issue was migrants recently. And then, you know, people of Hindu or black background, they said the cost of living. And then people of. Of a kind of Muslim background. It was Gaza was, I think, either to the number one or number two issue. Yes. And that's after the ceasefire. That was after. It is. You can look everywhere. You'll look, Brandon. There's just one sign after another of they are. This is not an assimilation. This is kind of an ongoing cultural conquest of the UK and the place. Yeah.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Oh, I was just going to say Charlie's favorite verse on this was Deuteronomy 28:43 Foreigners who live in your Land will gain more and more power while you gradually lose yours. They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end, they will be your rulers. Yes.

[Charlie Kirk]

Which is why you see it being okay that Muslims can take over London and all of the uk. But you know, old ladies are being arrested for Facebook posts about free speech. You are losing your rights in the uk. Muslims are gaining theirs.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I want to read some of these email replies about Halloween. Matthew says Andrew and Blake are correct. Don't play with things you shouldn't. And Halloween is just fine.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, there's gotta be different emails. Yeah, yeah, you're. You're picking this.

[Andrew Colvitt]

No, don't be like my ex and play with tarot cards and crystals. Thanks. That's Matt. I grew up Catholic when October 31st was All Hallows Eve, a holy night of remembrance. Later, as a born again believer, I was told it was evil. But then I learned the Wesleyan quadrilateral scripture, Tradition, reason, experience. Now I simply see Halloween as a night to love my neighbors. Well, how about this one?

[Charlie Kirk]

Satanists that have become Christians say that Halloween is a special day for them and that evil spirits are the most active that day. How about that?

[Andrew Colvitt]

Yep. Well, Mark agrees. He says without any doubt against, against this pagan so called holiday. Jesus Christ took care of this issue long ago when Satan and his sidekicks lost their wings, then grew tails and horns. Ban this satanic pagan ritual. That's from Mark.

[Charlie Kirk]

I like you, Mark. I think of, I like to think of the St. Michael prayer that Catholics pray where we say, you know, and by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits. And that is a Halloween prayer if I ever heard one. It is saying demons exist, but they can be beaten and thrown into hell and protect us against the wickedness and snares of the devil by the power of God.

[Andrew Colvitt]

This is a very contentious issue. In our, in our emails I will tell you. This is, this is like legitimately 50 50.

[Charlie Kirk]

We literally got in the same minute, in the same minute we got emails with the headline Halloween and the next one, no, no Halloween right in a row.

[Andrew Colvitt]

This is very split. This is very split. I'm going to tell you guys really quickly. I think we should keep reading some of these next, next segment because it's really good but really quick. I'm going to tell you about done with debt. When you're buried in credit card and loan debt, it's human nature to put it off and say I'll deal with it later if that's you.

It's time for a whole new generation to wise up and rise up.

[Andrew Colvitt]

The Charlie Kirk show all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Just really quick, I want to keep reading some of these emails. Mikey and Blake so this is Marty. It says Halloween was the most fun I have with my family neighbors here in my little community in San Diego. My husband and I rushed home from work to get ready. My mom would hand out candy while grandpa, my husband and I would gather our son to join neighbors for a few hours. We never did any occult stuff. It was so fun. I truly miss those days. Got maga Anti Halloween Gentlemen. Charlie was so right about Halloween. As with so many other things, when your eyes are open spiritually, you clear clearly see how dark it is. The enemy uses it to get a foothold in families on a surf surface level while the dark forces deeply involved in the occult use the day to bring forth evil in the spiritual realm. We have another one that says they want a freedom hoodie. So Daisy, they want a freedom hoodie. Makes it a bit easier standing up for the truth and a little bit easier in negative 10 degree weather. So we have another one. No Halloween. I have a 10 year old daughter. We go to Harvest Fest. She was a police costume. She has a police costume and that is what she wants to do when she grows up. I It's all over the place guys. It's all over the place. Becky says Blake, have you read CS Lewis Screwtape letters? Demons against Christian values can't win.

[Charlie Kirk]

Exactly. I have read it. In fact it's been a long time though, but I have read it.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Welcome back.

[Charlie Kirk]

Charlie loved it too.

[Propane Advertiser]

He did the monster man. It was a good.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Now I just feel like our studio is trolling the anti Halloween contingent in our audience. I'm the.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm standing strong in the office. I think I'm the only one.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I feel like I have carved out a nice middle ground where I'm saying princesses and ninja costumes. Good. I don't know. And creepy stuff. Not so good. I'm not. Listen, if I told my 7 year old daughter we were not going trick or treated tonight, we would just basically have to. Yes, make new traditions.

[Charlie Kirk]

Unleash demons.

[Andrew Colvitt]

No, make new traditions. Make new traditions. Make new traditions. You can do more exciting things. My daughter is so sweet about all the spiritual stuff. She like, prays to Jesus, we sing the worship songs, like the cutest thing you've ever imagined. But man, if I told her she couldn't dress up like Jasmine tonight, that would be a real problem and I know that's going to get me in trouble.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, the real reason not let her dress up like Jasmine is that Jasmine is an Islamic princess.

[Andrew Colvitt]

I know. That's the, that's. Well, we're not going to get into theology.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, come on.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Blake can talk to her about my daughter. Just thought she's pretty and wants to put on the outfit. Okay, here we go. We got Carol next. Carol next. Carol, if you're with us, unmute yourself, please. You are on the Charlie Kirk Show.

[Anabe Sofas Advertiser]

Hello.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Hi, guys. Yes, Carol, Anti Halloween. My grandchildren are all grown up almost. They're all teenagers. But anyway, you know, be not of the world, blah, blah, blah. I think we're playing with fire there, compromise. But yeah, my question, I, I guess. Am I supposed to ask it?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, ask the question. Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Colvitt]

What's your question? I, My question was about California. I'm here in California. We got all these Trumpers out here and I just feel like I heard on Bannon and he was talking about how the GOP in California, you know, just, they didn't want Trump involved and so we're just dying out here. We're about to lose the state. You know, if this Prop 50, it's, it's going to pass. Steve Hilton's trying to fight, but you know, this show, all these shows, you know, Charlie Kirk show has been, been.

[Emily Maitlis and John Sopel]

A real help to, you know, get people going.

[Andrew Colvitt]

So I don't know. I know other people are asking for help in their states. You guys have your priorities, but. Yeah, yeah, Carol, we're actually going to have Steve on the show next week to talk about 50. I've gotten a bunch of, I've gotten a bunch of notes from the grassroots in California that want us to, to help and raise the alarm bells. I have a feeling you're probably right that if things hold, Prop 50 is going to pass. It's a complete abomination. They're going against a referendum vote that created an independent commission to district the state. And by the way, just so you know, those independent commissions get completely corrupted as well. They're completely dependent on how good of the quality of the people that staff them. Right. So it's, you know, the independent commissions are not foolproof either. You've got. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger is out being very loud about this. And it just, it really puts into perspective that we need to get Indiana over the. Over the finish line. We need to get Ohio over the finish line, we need to get Texas over the finish line. So all of our efforts have to counter Californians, because at this point, you've got 40% of the state that is voting for Trump in the last election, and you've got what? It's like six or eight of the seats go to conservatives. It's, I mean, it's essentially like 20% or 18% of the. Of the congressional districts are, you know, have conservative representation in a state that has 40% Trump vote. But Blake, Blake and I have gone back and forth on this. They cheat. And nobody, you know, we can't get any traction with that. So, you know, they were still counting.

[Anabe Sofas Advertiser]

30 days after the election, although they.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Called the recall within 30 minutes for Mr. News. Yeah, I agree. So, Carol, we're gonna, we're gonna talk more about that next week. So thank you so much for being a member and for calling, and we're gonna get to Greg really quick if we can. Greg, Greg, if you were there, Greg.

[Michael Knowles]

You got a minute?

[Charlie Kirk]

If you can unmute, we'll talk about Halloween. How's it going, guys?

[Andrew Colvitt]

Great question.

[Emily Maitlis and John Sopel]

Fast.

[Charlie Kirk]

60 seconds.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Real quick, real quick.

[Charlie Kirk]

The.

[Andrew Colvitt]

The snap and DBT. How. What can we do as a dojo? What can we do to get a better vetting system to sort of get the. The deadbeats and the people that are abusing and cheating the system and basically now robbing the stores blind.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, here's a good start. If we're actually going. If we end up nuking the filibuster to bring SNAP back, they should at least also use nuking the filibuster to say we're changing the rules around SNAP and who gets it. Because if you look at how many people got it, it went up, I think it nearly doubled during COVID or went up about 50%. Huge bloat, massive amounts of waste, and there's this feeding frenzy where people are practically looting every government program in existence. And we've got to. We've got to buckle down and say that this is not acceptable or we are actually going to go totally bankrupt as a country, and that will be very bad. And that will mean, well, probably no more SAP for anybody.

[Andrew Colvitt]

Don't forget, Blake, tomorrow's National Looting Day. If the benefits don't get turned back on. That's the real demons, the real occult. Greg, thank you for calling. Thank you everybody. What a great show. We will see you Monday. The Charlie Kirk Show.
