Charlie Kirk
Such an honor to be with you. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. This timing is so weird. What day is it? It's Monday, but we're off tomorrow. We're off Wednesday. We're off Thursday as we try to celebrate New Year's Day. One of my favorite days of the year is New Year's Day. There is some great football on this New Year's Day. It's going to be amazing. Three big games. There's one on New Year's Eve, which is Boise State, Penn State. And then we wake up to watch Arizona State, Texas, and then Oregon versus Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. That one's going to be at the toughie. That's a tough one for Oregon. I got a whole separate take on how the College Football Playoff is rigged against the Oregon Ducks despite being the number one seed. And then the nightcap is Notre Dame versus Georgia. Don't sleep on the Irish. I'll tell you right now, the Irish could Shock the world. Georgia has their backup quarterback. Notre Dame's playing really well. Their defense is phenomenal. However, as all things are rigged in the favor of the University of Georgia. Georgia has a home game. I believe it's in Atlanta, actually. I think I'm 90% sure that the game is in Atlanta. And then if they win that game, then they go to a game in Miami, which is not far from Atlanta at and then the national championship game is in Atlanta. Okay. But we wanted to take our time today, as this is the last and final broadcast of this monumental year, to reflect and to think about what we just went through. Take inventory the past year, recap it. What did we just live through? Let's just go back to a year ago. Our last broadcast of the year in 2023. 2023. Looking into 2024, it looked daunting. I want you just to remember where you were. The news we were covering, it was incredibly daunting. Donald Trump was facing 700 years in federal prison. Donald Trump was not raising the money that major presidential candidates would be at that time. A year ago, we had not even had the Iowa caucus. A year ago, Ron DeSantis was still an active presidential candidate. A year ago, Nikki Haley was still an active presidential candidate. A year ago, Vivek Ramaswamy. We had this whole field of challengers against President Trump a year ago, and we had not even gone through Iowa yet. A year ago, Ronna was still the chair of the rnc. A year ago, Joe Biden was the betting odds favorite to become President of the United States. A year ago, Joe Biden was still the Democrat presumptive nominee. It was daunting, and we were battle hardened. After 2020, many of us became prisoners of cynicism and negativity. Almost everywhere I would visit, I would have to force people to try to believe, yes, we can do it. They said, oh, our vote doesn't matter. Our elections are rigged. And yes, a lot of you in this audience. I saved all of your emails, a lot of your emails, in fact, I could read them. But I don't know if it's a good use of our time where you guys would say, you don't know what you're talking about. We're gonna lose no matter what. Don't embrace early voting. Nobody cares. And in some ways, I get that because you were such. You were held captive, you were a hostage of the, of the carnage of 2020. What's the point in voting? It's all rigged. But I made a promise to all of you. I made a promise to all of you a year ago, the last broadcast of 2023. I made a promise to Turning Point donors. I made a promise to our audience here on the Charlie Kirk Show. I made a promise to our millions of followers out there. I said, no one will work harder than Turning Point Action and the Charlie Kirk Show. I said, I will work. I said, I will travel the country. I will go to every nook and cranny. We will register the voters, we will chase the votes. We'll get into the elemental grassroots. We're going to hire 1,500 people. We're going to do the gritty type of work. We made a promise, we made a proclamation that no one would work harder. We did not guarantee success. But I asked many of you, please allow yourself to believe. Allow yourself to believe that this is possible. Allow yourself to believe that we can do this. Allow yourself to believe that we can win. And in some ways, the greatest challenge of 2024 was not even what we did. The greatest challenge was getting people to think we could win. The biggest challenge was believing the hardest part for us was not hiring 1,500 people or raising the tens of millions of dollars it required to have the largest full time army to chase ballots. The hardest thing was not visiting all the campuses or the 1.8 billion TikTok views, which, by the way, Ryan, I want to do a whole thing on that in this hour because it was monumental. Monumental. What we were able to do on TikTok this last year, 1.8 billion views on TikTok alone, not to mention YouTube or Instagram. No, the hardest part of what we were doing, what we did this last year, was getting everyday rank and file Americans to think that their vote mattered, that they need to fight and that Donald Trump can win. And think about it. It just seemed overwhelming. It just seemed as if there's no way we could defeat the beast, that the machine is undefeated, that the Leviathan is going to pull something out of their sleeve, that there is something that was coming around the corner. And honestly, some of you were right when you said that they did have a lot planned, but it just didn't fail. It didn't work. It failed. It required hope. It required faith. The greatest loser of 2024, the greatest loser was doomerism and cynicism. The greatest loser were the thousands of you that would email us at times and say, charlie, I'm not going to work. I'm not going to chase ballots, I'm not going to register voters, because it's all rigged. Turns out you were wrong. It turns out those of us that believed enough to make it too big to rig, to hire the people to chase the ballots, to get in the grassroots, to take over the precinct committee positions, that you actually can effectuate change 2024 should be the death of doomerism and not believing that change is possible. We won the youth vote in the state of Michigan, everybody. We nearly won it in Wisconsin. We nearly won it in Pennsylvania. We moved the youth vote 30 plus points. But if you were to come to the table with a belief system or a philosophy, oh, no, it's impossible to change things and the country's going to hell and there's no reversing it. That mentality we were able to break with a lot of work. It wasn't easy because in some ways, the greatest opposition this last year was not of the left. It was cynical people on the right, donors that didn't think that Trump could win. Grassroots folks that thought it was irredeemably rigged. But Charlie, the machines. Voting early is terrible. Turns out voting early was actually excellent. Without voting early, we wouldn't have won. We were our own greatest enemy. And we worked, worked, worked, and we acted, acted, acted. Do you guys remember this last summer? This last summer, June, July, August, when every day I said, find new voters and register new voters, you helped make this happen. And this audience has been the tip of the spear, the vanguard every single day. I'd be giving these pep talks in July, be giving these pep talks in August, guys, we only have 100 days left to register voters. And all of that made a difference. And this year, this 2024, as we go through the individual elements throughout this hour, should be the end of saying that can't happen. No, it can happen. You just witnessed and were part of the greatest comeback in American political history. And all the doomers, all the doomers, all the people that were overly negative, they were wrong and those of us that believed were right. Charlie Kirk here.

Charlie Kirk
The turning point this year, no pun intended, to be honest, was the work that a lot of you did in the grassroots back in Vegas. I believe that if the RNC was under current hands, if Ranna still would have remained as chair of the rnc, I don't know if we would have won this cycle. And the RNC was a thankless fight. The RNC was a very difficult endeavor for us. We made a lot of enemies. In fact, the leadership of the RNC backstabbed me. They tried to destroy me. They leaked stories against me. They did everything they could to try to take out Turning Point. Turns out they were very unsuccessful. Quite unsuccessful. NBC News reported at the time conservative activist Charlie Kirk helped oust Ronna McDaniel at the RNC. Now the knives are out for him. Very few people were willing to take the stands and get in the arena and to try to remove the proven loser, Ronna McRomney. And Ronna McRomney remained as chair all after the 2022 midterms. But we said no all through 2023. We knew she had to go. We knew that we needed to launch a grassroots campaign again. The president made the ultimate decision and he deserves the credit for that. Removing Rana and then putting in Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, a terrific, a monumental upgrade. We had so many people warning us against this fight. Charlie, this is a big fight for you. You're gonna make a lot of enemies. I said, so what? People that were in business with me, people telling me that they knew better. Yeah, they didn't. Honestly, I'll never forget that. People trying to tell me that, oh, we know better than you. And no, actually you were wrong. And this audience was right. The grassroots of this show was correct in saying we have to remove Ronna Mitt Romney. And we decided to ignore all the cautionary tales because we needed an RNC that was equipped to win. And by the way, the RNC run by Rana, they did every dark arts, let's just say, move you could do to try to cancel us, to smear us, every scheme you could imagine. They were more worried at trying to take out Charlie Kirk and Turning Point than run the rnc. But we knew because of you in this audience, there was a 99% support to get rid of Rana. 99%. And they spent more energy beating us than trying to beat Democrats. Well, it turns out the removal of Ronna Mick Romney was critical, that the removal of Ronna Mitt Romney was a foundational first step to the win we just had. And all of you that traveled to our Restoring National Confidence Summit in Vegas, do you have an idea of what we did? We were the only organization that was willing to plan our own RNC winter meeting simultaneous with the actual RNC winter meeting, which was the most brazen thing we could do. But we were not just gonna sit idly by and allow this to happen. With 75 key GOP Republican chairs, plus state chairs, using our data, using our application, we were in Vegas doing that work. And a lot of other organizations said, well, that's a little too close to the sun for us. We're afraid to pick that fight. Well, we weren't. We leaned right into the arena and Ronna got removed, which was a massive victory for the grassroots and dramatically improved President Trump's chances. And from there, a year ago again, January of 2024, we still looked like a movement in exile. Donald Trump won in Iowa, won in New Hampshire, but was he really going to be able to build this grassroots movement? It turns out that this year is a year that only happens once in many, many lifetimes. And we're going to recap a lot of other things. The campus tours, the virality, the selection of J.D. vance as Vice President of the United States, Butler, Pennsylvania, leading all the way up until the last 90 day push where all of you chased ballots, where all of you registered voters were, all of you in this audience said no to the naysayers, and you got into the game. And this is a year that we'll never forget and that we must cherish, we must remember, that we must reflect, we must go through. And of course, finally, we are going to say thank you to God, because I believe the hand of God was evident and apparent all throughout this last year that God had a plan and that we were just small little actors and instruments for his divine will and his purpose.

Charlie Kirk
We did many things this year at Turning Point action from the 1,500 people we had on the ground and chased ballots. We chased over 300,000 ballots in the state of Arizona, well over 60,000 ballots in the state of Wisconsin, and the scores of volunteers and all of you that worked so hard, this is your victory. This is your new year celebration, and you should cherish that. You should celebrate in that. And one of the things we also did, we asked the question, our theory of the case was this. It started with a question and then a hypothesis, which honestly, a question, a hypothesis is at its core, a question which was we are beginning to see young men show up to more and more of our campus events. We're seeing a cultural recalibration. What if at Turning Point Action and here on the Charlie Kirk show, we do the most ambitious campus outreach, grassroots viral programming in history. And we were told by all of the experts, young people won't move. They're going to go big numbers for Kamala Harris. And we said, not so fast. There is something that is, that is happening and we want to seize it, maximize it, expand it. So what we did, I visited personally 25 campuses this last fall, well over 45 in the entire year. And we went all across the country. And our team deserves such amazing credit. Daisy, Emma, Ryan, Terrell, the whole tech team, Brian. We had a pow wow. And they said, charlie, you're really going to do 25 campus tours. This was back in August. I said, absolutely. I said, this will be the hardest I've ever worked. On top of everything else, we hosted Donald Trump seven times this year. What an honor. Amazing. We were honored to host him seven times this year. To host him seven times. On top of all the people we were hiring for ballot chasing, on top of I had to keep on raising money to keep people on payroll. There's a lot of things going on at once. But I said, we gotta get on campus, we gotta communicate with students and we have to try to demonstrate that our ideas are better. And boy, I'm a pretty healthy guy. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I try to get a lot of sleep, turn my devices off, exercise almost every day, eat very clean. My health took it right on the chin. Lost my voice twice. I mean, can we get. Ryan, can we go back just and get like a 20 second clip of my voice with the Megyn Kelly interview? The Megyn Kelly interview I think is a perfect little example. Andrew was my voice. I would text Andrew the questions to ask Megan. He was my Aaron, if you will. I was Moses, he was Aaron. I just couldn't talk, I was tongue tied. And everybody on the team deserves credit here. We put it all on the line and it was blind faith. In fact, I could tell you at no time when we visited these campuses and created this content and we did all this work, was there ever a prideful arrogance amongst our team. Andrew would tell you this, Mikey would tell you this, Justin would tell you this. It was always, well, these are pretty incredible crowds. I hope we're going to win. Are we going to win? Every day we'd be challenging our assumption. Every day we'd be going into this with this degree of humility, never cocky. And I'm very, very, very proud of our team for that. Because looking back, it seems like obvious, looking at it retrospectively, that there was this grassroots movement and we just kept our head down and kept on doing the work. And we said, well, we're up in these polls, more campuses, more videos on TikTok alone. Which, by the way, they want to ban TikTok. I think one of the reasons they want to ban TikTok is that I think TikTok played a big role in getting the message out that eventually led to the election of Donald Trump. I really believe that. We got 1.8 billion views on TikTok. Trump got 2 billion views on TikTok. We got five times more views on TikTok than Kamala Harris. Five times more. Now they want to ban it seems a Little suspicious. Just a little bit. Here's a little bit of a taste. It's about a two minute video, it's worth playing of what we accomplished on campuses this last semester. It was 12 years of work. It was a 12 year overnight success story. Play cut 23. Tell us why you're supporting Kamala Harris. Not too sure about that.
- [22:01]
Emma
Why? Okay, so right now, because she's not.
- [22:05]
Andrew
Strong, can you tell me her greatest accomplishment?
- [22:07]
Charlie Kirk
No, I can't.
- [22:09]
Andrew
Can you tell me a single accomplishment?
- [22:11]
Charlie Kirk
I cannot. I want to leave. What is Kamala Harris's greatest accomplishment?
- [22:26]
Terrell
See, that's a. That's that question. You can't.
- [22:28]
Charlie Kirk
Okay. Name an accomplishment of hers.
- [22:32]
Terrell
An accomplishment of her. She got in. She. She in. When she was the go. Hey.
- [22:39]
Charlie Kirk
What is her greatest accomplishment? Being an idol for.
- [22:47]
Terrell
Oh, I wish I had this on the top of my head, but I don't.
- [22:50]
Charlie Kirk
Well, as vice president, I'm not sure. I guess nothing. I'm Stone.
- [22:59]
Andrew
We cannot heal our country until we defeat the Democrat Party this November. My number one mission is make Donald Trump go back into the White House in November.
- [23:11]
Charlie Kirk
Why should I vote for Trump? Can you kind of give me your point of view of why I should vote for Trump? I am thinking of voting for Harris, but I am open to be proven otherwise.
- [23:20]
Terrell
Could you please explain why under a Trump presidency, it would be more beneficial to me than a Harris presidency?
- [23:26]
Andrew
I want to try to win you.
- [23:27]
Charlie Kirk
Over as a liberal for Donald Trump.
- [23:28]
Donald Trump
Why should I vote for Trump?
- [23:31]
Charlie Kirk
There's no guesswork in this election.
- [23:32]
Andrew
We know the type of president that.
- [23:33]
Charlie Kirk
Trump was and that he will be. There are three things I want you.
- [23:36]
Andrew
To think about when voting for Trump.
- [23:38]
Charlie Kirk
Homeownership, border war.
- [23:40]
Andrew
Three objective things. People remember the Trump years better because they were better. Kamala Harris will destroy this country, bring us closer to World War 3, allow.
- [23:49]
Charlie Kirk
30 million illegal people into the country.
- [23:50]
Andrew
And bring us to a great depression.
- [23:52]
Charlie Kirk
Donald Trump will restore the American dream for your generation.
- [23:56]
Terrell
When I decide, just in case. Can I have a hat?
- [23:59]
Charlie Kirk
You can have a hat. Go. Which way you leaning? Can I get a hat? That's a good answer.
- [24:05]
Donald Trump
I think you've convinced me, so thank you for that.
- [24:08]
Charlie Kirk
God bless you. So, yeah, that would end up leaning me towards the Republican Party despite myself being a liberal.
- [24:13]
Andrew
How are you leaning this election?
- [24:16]
Charlie Kirk
Well, after what you said, Trump, let's go.
- [24:21]
Andrew
I'm talking to voters of this country that will determine the future of Western civilization.
- [24:25]
Charlie Kirk
That's what I'm doing here today. We gotta win. We're gonna make America. And what we did with the youth vote was incredible when you guys believed in us again. This is not about Charlie. It's not even about Turning Point. It's about all of us in the audience. When you guys prayed for us, you tithed towards us. You donated A Turning Point. You helped make this movement possible. A 30 point movement. Young men went for Donald Trump by nearly 20 points. We'll do another show on this in the new year. But I really believe if it wasn't for TikTok, it wouldn't be possible. I'm curious, as a side note, what are your thoughts? Freedomarliekirk.com do you think the federal government should be able to ban TikTok? Because that is actually a looming issue. I'm just curious. And some people say, oh, Charlie, why do you care about the TikTok thing? I only care about what I can see. I know that I reached 1.8 billion people since March. We didn't even start until March. And remember, we were not TikTok fans until the ban happened. And we called their bluff. We said, okay, let's see what they're made of. Let's see, we're gonna start posting if they don't censor us. And all of a sudden, our stuff started to go more and more viral. And we said, just treat us fairly. Just treat us fairly. And on Instagram, Daisy could pull the numbers. Billions of views on Instagram. But I'm curious, I do want to hear from you on that. Freedomarliekirk.com all of this was a combination of a grassroots emphasis. We look at this last year and we have to just look at the hand of God. As we saw in Butler, Pennsylvania, when God's hand came down and spared President Trump his life. Spared President Trump. We were inches and centimeters away from total and complete civil war. Inches away. Inches and centimeters away. And God is not done with the United States of America. God is not done with this nation. I'm going to give you an example. This was the one that kicked off in September. Our social media blitzkrieg play cut 21.
- [26:34]
Emma
I will be voting for Trump.
- [26:35]
Charlie Kirk
Good.
- [26:35]
Emma
And can I explain why, please? So under the Trump administration, my family, we've long time, we've been renters. So under the Trump administration, administration, when the economy was good, my family, they'd been saving up for a house. They had a good savings. They were making well. And over the last four years, their savings have been wiped out. Inflation has killed them. They're back to renting. They don't know if they'll ever be able to retire. So even though as a Christian, I might not agree with how Trump has been in a couple marriages, sleeps with a lot of women and gets into all this personal drama, just simply based off the economy, I believe I have.
- [27:13]
Charlie Kirk
To vote for Trump. And that was the one that began the viral cascade. And it really was and is a movement versus a machine. A grassroots, people centered, citizen led movement versus an oligarchic machine. Subject versus citizen. It's that simple. Do you want to be a subject or do you want to be a citizen? Very, very simple. We had a choice. And you choose. Chose correctly. You chose that you wanted to live in a free society. You chose that you wanted to live in a free America. Glory be to God for delivering this country from the brink. And for all of you that gave sacrificially and worked and went that extra mile and drove those eight hours to go knock on doors, this is your victory. And no, I'm not just gonna move on to the news of the day. That's the second hour. This entire hour is dedicated to saying thank you, to celebrating and understanding. What we just lived through was not natural, it was not normal, it was supernatural.

Megan Kelly
Megan, I want to get your analysis here of the state of the race. The debate is distant memory. It's only like nine or ten days ago. Where do you think things stand right now? And has Kamala Harris successfully introduced herself to the American people?
- [29:51]
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, that was, by the way, that was on a good day. And it was, it was rough. Let's just say that was rough. I remember when I sat down to do the show that day and I just checked in. Blake was like, oof. And I was making progress by that point. I was on the uptick. That was with the gain turned all the way up. I do have to say the other big loser this year was Blake's prediction that 2024 was going to be a boring year. I'm sorry, I just, I can't help but say it. Blake went on thought crime and he defense. He said, well, what if. But he, you know, it's kind of one of those what if Blake things where he know he means it, but he's kind of poses it as a question. He was hedging. But you knew Blake believed it. Turns out that was the worst take in Blake Neff history. We will put that one up. We should have a list of the worst Blake takes that was up there. But Blake has good takes almost all the time, especially on the Roman Empire, which we will continue in 2025. We were honored at Turning Point Action to host history. There was 18,000 people at this event and yet for whatever reason, I think over 500,000 people say they were there. This is like when, what was it when the Giants won the World Series on a walk off home run. The old joke in San Francisco was it was something like this that, you know, it seated 22,000 people. But 2 million people say they were there. Everyone I meet in Arizona, you know, I was at that Bobby Kennedy event. There's no way everyone I meet was at the Bobby Kennedy event.

I gotta be honest, that was one of the greatest moments. Look at how great that imagery is. That is just. That was honestly, we did seven major events with President Trump this last year and I think that was the greatest.

Let's play cut 19 as we heard the news that we took back our country. Play cut 19.
