My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord. Use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Noble Gold Investments is the official gold sponsor of the Charlie Kirk Show, a company that specializes in gold IRAs and physical delivery of precious metals. Learn how you could protect your wealth with Noble gold investments@noblegold investments.com. that is noblegoldinvestments.com. thank you, everybody. Please take a seat. Give it up for Alex. That's not easy to open up a conference like that. That is not easy. You know, I told Alex backstage, I don't know what that is. I told Alex she should have picked more controversial topics to open a conference with. It's coming out on birth control and daycare. I said, wow, that takes a lot of courage and a lot of gusto, Alex. You deserve a lot of credit for that, I gotta tell you. That's really something. Welcome to our 8th annual Young Women's Leadership Summer Summit, everybody. This is. It's a very special event and I have to make sure I do this every time we gather. We have to thank the tireless efforts of our Turning Point USA staff that make this all possible. And I tell you, they have been here all week. From the graphic designers to the video editors, to the AV team, to people that are doing just the muscle work of putting all this together, they have worked so hard to make sure you have a memorable couple days. And so when you see them, thank them. Who here. Is this your first ever Young Women's Leadership Summit? That is so amazing. First ever. Okay, so I'm going to ask another question because, like Alex, I'm going to have some homework, but I'm going to be even more direct. Okay? Who here traveled and you don't know anybody in this room, right? Raise your hand. Okay, so keep your hand up if you do know somebody, Go find somebody with their hand up and introduce yourself, because here's what we're not going to do, okay? You know, we have a Men's Summit now at Turning Point usa, and it's very different than our Women's Summit. It's very different. It's in the woods, and we deprive them of calories. There's no disco ball. It's a whole thing. I will say, though, that our Women's Summit is different in a couple different ways. I'll tell you about it. One of the things is that it tends to be a little clicky. You ever see Mean Girls? Okay, that's what. That's what I mean. We're not going to do the clicky thing, okay? So I am telling you to go out of your comfort zone if you are here with a friend, to go find someone that does not know a soul here that was bold enough, courageous enough to travel halfway around the country, and you're gonna go introduce themselves so that tomorrow when I ask that question, no one raises their hand. Okay? We're gonna do that tonight, and you're gonna act on that. Okay? Now, we do some of the biggest events in the whole country, right? We do our AM Fest, America Fest in Phoenix, which has become this amazing event you should all attend. It's incredible. It's very interesting, though, because at the Women's Summit, it's very different than America Fest. You know, I read audiences. I've given a couple speeches in my life. And at amfest or at Sass or any one of our events, the young ladies and the young men, you know, they're paying attention, but their heads are kind of moving to the side a little bit. Are you looking at me? And you know. Okay, good. Got it. I'm looking at you. And at the Women's Summit, you guys are just focused on the speaker. And what an amazing thing to show that this idea of women gathering together shows that there is such a thing as a woman. What an idea. Now, we have a lot of press here, and welcome, by the way, to all of our media and our press. We mean that. We hope you learned something. And we know why. We know many, by the way. I mean that. I know why they're here, and I'm glad they're here. They're here because they're curious and they're fascinated and they're also confused how on earth 2,500 young, conservative women will go into their bank accounts in the middle of a summer to voluntarily want to come for faith for freedom, for family, for virtue, for the country, right? They don't quite get it. That's all right. But all of a sudden, people talking about being moms and being members of society and saving the country from this Marxist degeneracy that we're living under, they're trying to understand it, like, where does this come from? But more than that, they're curious about how we're going to handle, which is the kind of third rail issue. And if you know anything about Turning Point usa, boy, Alex certainly set the standard. If there is a fourth rail, that's where we begin, right? So. And it's obvious because all of you are living through it. All of you see it, right? All of you have to experience it on your high school or college campuses or on TikTok. And this is new. When we had our first ever Young Women's Leadership Summit in the suburbs of Chicago, we had 70 or 80 young ladies. And if I would have done the following thing, I said, and we know what a woman is, people would have been like, yeah, okay, eight years ago. It would have been incomprehensible. So what changed? What changed is that an outgrowth of modernity, and we're living in this postmodern, post structuralist. Everybody gets to decide their own truth for themselves. This social contagion that is spreading the country at a rapid pace, that disguises itself as transgenderism, and it is accelerating, it is not slowing down. You see it on equal footing outside of this hotel. I tried my best to take down the flag, everybody. I tried my best. I failed, okay? I'm sorry. I tried my best. I know you were all thinking it, right? What is that all about, by the way? This hotel better do something or we're gonna find another hotel, because I'm not gonna come back. This is ridiculous. Here I am. I see the American flag, the Texas flag, and the lg, the whatever thing, and I say, this is. This is not right. This is an insult to all of us through our traditions and our customs. This is not right. So, Lauren, don't sign that contract for next year, okay? You listening? Yes. Let's see what we can do. I'm not putting up with this. And you should either. And so this is spreading.

And let's be clear. Many of you probably have a temperament like I do on the the gay or lesbian issue. Look, first of all, I believe marriage is one man, one woman. I'm very clear about that. Okay? And, but I think many of you probably have a built in temperament. I'm not here to over police your personal life. If you're an adult, I don't agree with it, I don't believe it's right. But live and let live, that doesn't exist. Live and let live is dead. It's live and let us rule is what we live under now. It's live and give me power to come after your children. And if you don't agree with me and if you don't allow me to come after your kids, you're a bigot. And what we are seeing in this last year, which is why this Young Women's Leadership Summit is one of the most important gatherings in the history of Turning Point usa. If not the most important is even since last year when some of you were there, we have seen an all out, deliberate, concentrated, non stop, relentless assault on women in this country. Even more than just individual women. But on the idea of a woman, on the truth of what a woman is. In fact, we have creepy narcissistic freaks who think they are men wearing dresses to compete in sports against many of you. We have men who are terrorizing young ladies in locker rooms and we have to accept it and tolerate it or else they call us names. You're going to hear from some of those speakers that was exposed to that like Riley Gaines, you're going to hear Straight from her who has the courage to speak out against it. And it's amazing because this woman's summit is now something where we have the largest gathering of women in the country on these ideas and these values, by far, right? And it's about, of course, femininity and freedom and the country and all this. But it's also about sending a message through all these speakers and through you back in your communities to say something very clearly that I could tell you what a woman is because you're looking at one. And if you are not one, stop wearing woman face and pretending to be something that you are not. You see, women are more agreeable than men. They are. Women are less likely to ask for raises, less likely to get into debates. There are less. It's a fact. And that's not a negative thing. Men and women are different. And praise God, they're different. However creepy men that have deep seated mental problems that need treatment, okay? They need treatment. They need help. By the way, help is not more pharmaceuticals from Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna or Johnson and Johnson. Help is not surgery to have them go medieval on them, okay? Help is talking to a counselor that could tell them the truth, find out the root trauma and get them back into reality. That's what help looks like now, is that those people are preying on you. Transgenderism in its current form in America is nothing more than weaponized, tyrannical patriarchy to come after women. I have to hear. Oh, the patriarchy, the patriarchy. You know what the true patriarchy is right now? Men wearing women face in female sports. That's the true patriarchy. Now, we're doing our best at turning point to speak out against this, to call it what it is. This has to be a female led movement though. This. And by the way, it will only be successful if it is a female led movement. So what exactly does that look like? You have to be disagreeable on this topic. And you might say, oh, well, you know, Charlie, it's tough. And they call me names. Yes, they will. And so what? They will call you names. You are on. You are in the arena. They're trying to frame this as a civil rights issue. They're like, oh, well, this is the same thing as Martin Luther King. What an insult to Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. What an insult to the woman's suffrage movement. No, no, this is the same old game that is repurposing itself and is replaying itself, which is there are three types of people in the world. There are infants. There are predators and the protectors of infants. Predators will always be there. But it is the people that are supposed to protect infants from these ideas, from these social contagions. And right now we are living under this fake religion of tolerance and we are allowing them to steamroll our customs around the Texas flag is equal to the gay flag, where in San Francisco they are raising up the American flag and the gay flag up simultaneously. But we were told you have to tolerate it. It was never a tolerance, was it? No. Because then it's about acceptance. We're like, well, that's weird. And then it's about celebration, mandatory celebration. And then it's about participation. And if you're not going to participate, they're gonna make your kids participate.

Here's what your financial advisor won't tell you. By the time the news tells you to buy gold, it's too late. You're waiting. I get it. Everybody's waiting. Waiting to see if the ceasefire holds. Waiting to see if the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Waiting to see what happens next. But gold isn't waiting for you. It moves on fear, on instability, on the unknown. And it moves faster than you can react. So while you're waiting for certainty, the rest of the world is planning for what comes next. You can wait or you can get prepared. You can't do both. Remember, the best time to put on a seatbelt is before the accident, not after. If you're ready to act, reach out to my friends at Noble Gold Investments.

you see what you have here right now in this room, the combined power on your campuses, on your social media, this right here could move the fight so considerably against the trans social contagion in a generationally impactful way. This room can make the difference if each and every single one of you went to social media and back in your communities, in your conversations, one truth teller can speak for the other people that are afraid that says, you know what? Get out of my locker room creep. Get out of my Locker room. I'm not going to put up with this. You know, more than anything else people say, you know, you got to embrace your womanhood and all that. I agree. How about let's embrace reality? We are on team reality here. And 1960s feminism, which Alex did a great job indicting and attacking, was all about the power of the woman. And now you have Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is a United States Supreme Court justice, who was asked a question by a sitting US Senator, what is a woman? And she was unable to answer. She said, I am not a biologist, a Supreme Court justice that cannot ask what a female is or what a woman is. She had a great opportunity. She could have said, you're staring at one senator. Would have been a viral moment. But no, she's captured by this trans ideology. You see, we are all currently held hostage by a small, small group of deranged people. It's what it is. Decent, ordinary people. We now have to live to their customs. And I will prove it to you. I'll prove it to you. Because it's not about having sympathy, which we should all have. It's not about tolerance, which is a fake pagan God of our era. No, no. What it really is about is re accommodation. Why is it that we have to change our norms, our language, our customs? Because one person is struggling with something. Why is it that Thomas, the man who's living under the delusion, who thinks he a woman, why couldn't he still play dress up and take those weird drugs and go finish 185th against men and competing against people with his own bone density and muscle mass? Why couldn't he do that? He could still identify, but just compete against someone with your same chromosomes. Dude. The answer is because he's a cheat. Because he stole it. And we let it happen. All of us, myself included, we're allowing the strong to prey on people that do not have the same sort of ability to compete in either an athletic arena or otherwise. And it's only going to continue. So that's really the question, I think, in front of us right now, many of the questions. And I want you to lean in these next couple days and ask the tough questions. I want you to meet people outside of your comfort zone and listen to all these speakers. More than anything else, I want you to understand that this is a jumping off point and a starting point to be able to make a generational impact. There is no other event like this. There is no other gathering like this where you're going to hear what you're going to hear and you have this kind of combination of speakers. This is a rarity. This is the exact opposite of what you're going to hear on the Oscars or the Golden Globes or in any of that garbage that they put on television. It's the exact opposite. But you know what? I think this is actually more popular with the American people than that trash that they're putting on television. So I want to make a couple actual technical announcements. Reminder to find somebody who doesn't know anybody and introduce yourself and to make sure that nobody raises their hand when I ask. Tomorrow. This is a special event. We do this every year. We're going to have a couple giveaways. We have some. We have an opportunity to be able to have a roundtable with my wife who I think's amazing, but I'm a little biased and I know many of you do too. If you so a couple giveaway opportunities. If you are motivated by something I say or Alex says and you say, okay, now what? Go immediately to the turning point USA table out there and start a chapter. Raise your hand if you're a high school or college, chapter attorney, chapter leader, raise your hand. That's awesome. I want every hand to go up by the end of this conference. We need you to go say, you know what? I'm going to start a chapter. I am going to be my campus leader.

here's what I can guarantee you. If you start a Turning Point USA chapter, your life will get harder. Okay, it will not be easy, but your life will get better. You will no longer live a shallow life. You will live a deep life. Here's something that you will learn throughout the next course of the days, I hope, is that the beautiful things require work. So, yes, if you start a Turning Point chapter, they're going to call you names. But then look to your left and look to your right. You're not alone, not even close to being alone. If you start a Turning Point USA chapter, you're going to be on the front lines of actually making a difference for something that is bigger than yourself. It's a big deal. So if you want to get into a contest to win a roundtable with my wife Erica, you can start a chapter. And that's important. You should start a chapter regardless of the sweepstakes. But that's just the way to hopefully get you to do it. We want to get every single one of you to say, you know what? I'm going back to my high school. I'm going to start a high school chapter. I'm going to start a college chapter. Couple of the thoughts here. The country's in trouble. You're going to hear that a lot. What is exciting to see, though, is that this event is growing like crazy and is how all of a sudden the conservative movement is so different than how the media likes to portray it. They say, oh, that's just a male dominated thing. And again, which is hilarious because they don't believe in like male men or women. They use it. The whole thing's not insane. So. And by the way, I would be so insulted if I was a woman if like this Mulvaney weirdo who, if he all of a sudden thinks that he could fully understand women by like act, by the way, you know what's even creepier about that dude? No. He acts as an 8 year old as an infant. That's even weirder, right? It's like very serious mental problems. But Fortune 100 companies seem to like that right now. I would be so repulsed by that. Be like, you think that you can appropriate what a woman is just by dressing differently and by acting that way? I think it's saying it's so repulsive. But it's the. Situation in front of us is this here's what's so cool, is that we're starting to see things change. Everybody boycotting Target alongside me. Am I right? There is now a cost to doing this and we're never going to forget. For all the companies that are watching out there, you embrace the social contagion. We will make it hurt financially, of course. And then we're going to support the good guys. We're going to support the companies that take these stands and are willing to stand for what is right. Okay, one other announcement. We are filming something very exclusively on the Charlie Kirk show tomorrow. We have slots for eight people if you're interested. We're not going to call on Hands, but it's going to be really fun. It'll be kind of like a roundtable type thing. So basically, I think there's going to be something coming up on stage. It's you. Email us if you're interested freedomarliekirk.com if you want to participate. But you have to email us proof that you're just subscribed to our podcast. And if you're not yet subscribed, just follow the QR code that's up on the screen or coming up on the screen. It's gonna be really fun. It's gonna be unscripted and it'll be a chance to kind of hear from you what you're, what you're experiencing on the front lines and what you're going through. And so hopefully we can get that up there. And if not, just please subscribe to our podcast and email us freedomarliekirk.com if you want to get engaged and get involved in that. So if that comes up, great. If not, we'll do it a different time. All right, I'll say this in closing, take this all in. This event changes lives. If you want it to change your life. If you are open to the career opportunities, the friendships, the networking opportunities, there might be someone right here might be dealing with a lot at home. Depression or anxiety, isolation, loneliness. And all of a sudden you might hear a one liner from a speaker that might change your life. And we are here at Turning Point USA to serve you, to help make those moments happen. And if you're going through something difficult, please go to a staff member. We love to help you through all that. And a positive, optimistic, but also tough female conservative movement is the left's worst night nightmare. And that's why you're here. God bless all of you. Thank you so much. Thank you. For more on many of these stories and news, you can trust.
