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 going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to 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 you would say 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.

The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers. We have a major announcement to make and a special guest as well. And here to help us make that announcement about the All-American halftime show is none other than Kid Rock himself.

Welcome to the show. Mr. Rock, how are you? Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. We're so honored to have you, so excited to have you. And this is a major, major announcement. This is the first announcement about the All-American Half-Time show. It's happening right here, right now. So thank you. Thank you. Thanks for having me. I'm excited, man. Well, exactly. You gave, and we just put it all out on social,

so this is just happening as we speak. And I read your quote, and I told your team, I thought that it was just absolutely amazing. So I'm going to read it. This just went on on the press release that just hit the wires. It says, we're approaching this show like David and Goliath, competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible, or is it? He said he's having a dance party, wearing a dress and singing in Spanish. Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America.

Tell us what you mean by all that. Man, I spent some time crafting that quote. I'm not sure if I can top it right now. It's pretty good, man. You know, it's just like, it's like I said, it's like, you know, competing with this, you know, just powerhouse machine called the NFL, you know, in a certain way you're competing with it. And in a certain way you're not either.

I think it's kind of a, I'm actually drafting the op-ed right now that I think I might release on Wednesday, kind of how did this come to be? How did, why did turning point have to have an alternative half time to the NFL? And I think it's, you know, to sum it up quickly, it kind of goes back to what Taylor shared and figured out, you know, years back, that, you know, half this country is just underserved entertainment-wise and was just really so many of us got tired of just, you know, having Hollywood tell us how things are going to be and hearing all their political this and that and trying to, you know, shove their agendas and the trans thing and everything down our throats.

And it's like, you know, I guess we're just going to have to have our own stuff for right now. Well, that's exactly right. And you're going to be joined by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, Gabby Barrett, and you are going to be the headline here, Kid Rock, performing at the All American Halftime Show. So for those, you know what's what was great about this, by the way? So I've been kind of seeing some of the behind the scenes here. And originally we listed all the artists in the press release. And, you know, this, this, this mini Grammy. We just hit the Grammys an hour one, which is ironic.

But the, you know, because they're all anti-ice or whatever. But so we send this over to your team and we get this note back. It's like, you know, Bob does not want to be associated. He, you know, here's what you could say. And it was like, okay. You know, so we said, global superstar and Waffle House. Legend Award winner. And I was like, that is it. So we stripped any reference of the Grammys and all your awards next to Kid Rock. And we instead, we have Waffle House Legend Award winner. And I just

thought that is so perfect. That is like exactly who we need headlining this made for TV concert. And you know, it's like, this is the thing. I agree with you. It's kind of a David and and Goliath thing. I love that framing because like this is a machine we're going up against, right? but really but really it's the the american people have been underserved and they've got this big arena there's big stadium and it's going to be far away and it's it's it's going to be the cameras are going to be a mile away from the action this is going to be intimate and exciting high octane high energy and it's going to be made for tv it's just a totally different experience than what you're going to get from the other guys and uh you know i you can say what you

want to say have to call up the other guys and the you know that other guy but uh i just think that what what we're offering is so you're doing you're offering is so you unique and you're going to you are the perfect person for this uh i couldn't i couldn't be any more excited you know you go into these things you know there's i'm very good friends with lee brice with uh brantley gilbert's a good friend i do not know gabby i love her i love her music um but you kind of wonder what's everyone else doing because i you know i go into these things i've really i really spend a lot of time and effort putting something together and it's going to be something very familiar and then i'm going to do a complete 180 on people and i'm kind of

excited about that. And then Lee Bryce sent me something that he's going to do on there. I was like, wow, that is powerful and that's good. And it was so happy for me just to hear that. To know that what we're going to do is go out there, what a crazy concept and just try to play some great music from people who love this country. It's that simple. That's the only way we kind of, you know, take care of our audience. I guess you could call it, maybe get a win. I'm not sure who our competition is. I mean, I saw some of the Grammys last night. kind of had some people here, so we're talking in between, but it was on in the background. I was like, at one point I just go, wow, this is like literally a gathering for people with the woke mind virus.

You just look around the room and you're like, wow, man, this is terrible. Totally. I couldn't, I mean, honestly, it feels like you can't even imagine what media they're consuming, what lies they're listening to. They're anti-ice, their anti-law enforcement that, you know, and you can feel this like this virtue signaling, just constantly. constantly with them. They think that they really are doing something good. And really what they're doing is they're destroying so much of what makes this country safe and good, the institutions that keep us safe. And then meanwhile, it's, it's, it's literally feels like, and I read this book and it was this, this doctor, she's kind of explaining the generation and like going through mental

illness and stuff is like, it's literally come to be like if you don't have some sort of a mental illness or claim to have one at some level or something's wrong. What was me? Everything's bad. you kind of feel left out of this Hollywood elite group. It's just sad to see some of these people. I mean, I'm looking at that poor Billy Ilish girl, I'm like, just look at her. Like she looks like literally

sad, just unhappy with everything in life. I'm like, that's got to be horrible. Like, you might want to look into Jesus, girl. That's exactly right. Well, and speaking of which I mean, we're going to have, there's elements of faith. There's going to be country music, rock music. There's all of this stuff is going to combine into this one beautiful concert. And I don't want to give too much away,

but it's going to be all over Turning Point Social. So our Turning Point YouTube X Rumble, of course. We'll probably throw it up on some other social media accounts that we can't that we control. Daily Wire Plus, TBN, right here on Real America's Voice, is going to be covering it. We love the guys over at Real America's Voice. So thank you, Parker, and Rob, for covering that.

O-A-N-T-D, and then it's going to be on Sinclair as well. There are lots of places you can check it out. You can see it on the graphic there. But if you're watching the big game and you don't want to be fed a bunch of woke garbage or worry that the guy's going to come out in a dress or celebrate like the queer agenda, you just want something that the family can enjoy, but it's going to be excellent in like high-octane entertainment. That's what we need to do. This is where you can go.

Absolutely, man. God bless you guys for putting this together. When I first heard, you know, you guys just kind of announced it and said at turning point, He's going to do an alternate half time. Like, oh, yeah, right on. Somebody needs to. I'm excited. I'm excited today, too, because people would always ask me, and I said, I kind of actually

didn't know what was going on. They were very tight-lifted about the organization of this, I will say. But we want to just get people hyped up. So one of the guests we have performing, Lee Bryce, he did a tribute to Charlie a few months ago and just kind of give people, if they're not familiar with the artist, an impression of what they're about to hear, let's play 300. And usually we do a couple of other songs, but, uh, Tonight I would like to play a song and dedicated to Charlie Kirk and what he so adamantly stood for, you know,

and I don't want to see a picture of this country without God in it, you know, and it seems like every day it's trying harder and harder to do that. But I got faith that ain't going to go that way. And the song he ended up playing was When Kingdom Comes. Yeah, amen. And could you speak to kind of the faith element of this, too? It's not going to be like necessarily a worship set or anything, but I just, I know that's important to you as well. And are you planning on integrating any of that into your set?

Yeah, well, I would love to tell people what I'm doing. But I think the element of surprise is really what's going to make it special because no one's going to be expecting this 180 that I'm going to do. It's, I'm trying to make it as unselfish as possible. but at the same time just play something great. I'm like there's nothing, you know, that we can do that I can do. And trust me, I'm going to come out and hit them with the kid rock, like boom, bang, the whole, but that's going to stop very quickly

and I'm going to take it back to music. Because one thing I know for sure, no matter what Bad Bunny does, what the NFL is doing, nothing. Nothing is more powerful than a good song. Nothing. So if you just stick to playing good songs, that's the win right there. And of course, I mean, there's an aspect of

there's a very aspect of faith in the song that I'm going to do it's not my song I'll tell people that it's not a song I wrote but I did write a verse for it which is very very faith-based I love it I don't know what else you can say here but I know that you've got a lot going on right now you've got different announcements you can make is there anything else you can tell us about your plans

for the next couple of weeks months any other releases that you want our audience to know about? Funny enough, we're going to release the song that I'm going to perform for the Terry Point, you know, All-American halftime. So we're going to release it at midnight that night after the Super Bowl. And then we're going to go out and do, I think we're making an announcement this Friday. We're going to do some shows this year. Not a ton.

I think it's maybe 10 or so. Awesome. So we're going to, I think it's called the Freedom 250 tour. and it's kind of, we're going to announce that on Friday, and that's going to kind of lead to this huge thing that we're going to do in July 3rd in a stadium, which is going to be, I'm looking at, like, I know everyone's going to celebrate America's 250th birthday, July 4th.

I want to put together the biggest party for America on the eve of July 3rd, kind of like New Year's Eve, you know, ring a liberty bell and shoot cannons and fireworks off and play some music for folks. So, and a ton of new, ton of new music on the way. That's awesome. very cool special guests. I think people are going to be wildly, wildly happy and surprised at the same time. I love that.

So everybody, you have a mission. You need to tune in to the All-American halftime show. You know, when the other guys are doing their sort of queer celebration, whatever, speaking Spanish, whatever you want to do, that's fine. But we're going to be celebrating this country. It's the 250th anniversary of this country, faith, family, and freedom with an absolute packed lineup of kid rock, obviously. And we've got Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, and Gabby Barrett, an amazing show. And then your second mission after you tune in is to take Kid Rock's new song and make it number one across all the charts at midnight after the Super Bowl. So please do that.

I've heard so many good things about the team working with you on this project. You've been an absolute blast of energy and a breath of fresh air. You get it. and thank you for everything you're doing to help make this a great experience a great event and really successful. Thank you guys. Thank you guys for having to con ads to put it on. You know what I mean? I know it scares a lot of people in my business.

Let's put it down there. That's a whole story for another day. But I mean, when you're going up against the machine, it's a machine. So God bless you, sir. A lot of people in my position, there's a lot of big acts that are very scared of that machine. I'll tell you that. You already know. I do know.

And eventually there will be a time to tell that story. But right now we're just going to focus on all this good energy. And you're a big part of that. Thank you, Kid Rock. God bless you.

Are you going to be tuning on YouTube right here, A Real America's Voice?

Nick, you run the high school field program. So all the new Club America chapters that have been launched like thousands of them, you are playing point. You have, you are probably the busiest man in turning point history at this point. Mine is Charlie, of course. But like, give us the analysis. It's a major new announcement. It's part of a series of major new announcements. That's right, gentlemen. So on Wednesday, we are announcing a partnership with the state of Montana. Governor Gianforte is going to announce an initiative to put. a Club America chapter in every high school in the state of Montana.

We've seen this in states like Florida and Texas and Tennessee. Montana is joining the movement. I hope to see this kick off a lot more states through 2026. So this is happening on Wednesday? That's correct. Wednesday. So we're going to do a big kind of event announcing this more formally with the governor in Montez. So you're fine up to Montana.

I am. You got a trip to Montana. It's terrible. Well, actually, in the winter. I guess I hope you get a ski trip in or something. But yeah, a little colder than Phoenix. But that's awesome. And didn't Indiana, do we have, is Indiana?

That's right. Alex Clark made the announcement. We do have an event coming in the state of Indiana. Governor Braun is joining in as well. Amazing. And I'm not allowed to disclose yet, but there is another state potentially as well that's joining. You don't have to say. There are many more states that are going to join the Club America cause.

So do you hear this? This is major. So on the same day that we cover on this show, anti-ice walkouts in Tucson, in L.A., Portland, Chicago, New York City, there is a movement that is happening across the country, sparked by Charlie Kirk and helped facilitate by amazing people on the team like Nick, where we are getting whole states to back the Club America movement. It is a movement now. And we're closing on like 4,000 high school chapters. I mean, we're still sorting through this deluge of inquiries that came in after Charlie's assassination. Give us an update on that. Yeah.

So we have over 3,200 called America Chapters nationwide. And really, what these states are doing is essentially standing behind our students and their right to assemble, their right to fight to support. patriotism and support their country. You have students that are bullied and intimidating for starting Club America chapters, schools that try to deny their chapters, try to delay the approval of their chapters to be able to operate as any other school club, like a chess club or, you know, whatever it is. And so these state leaders are saying that's not okay. These students support patriotism. They support the Constitution. And they should have the right to do that just as any other. student who wants to start an extracurricular club at their high school?

Yeah. Well, and we have, we have literally, there's all these clubs get together and they go, let's walk out of school on Friday and protest ice. This is why it's important to have a Club America chapter on campus that says, no, we're not going to do that, actually. And we love this country. We support law enforcement. And what you need when you're a kid in high school is you need other like-minded kids to

have your back. You need a, you need a core group of people. that will support one another. And that's why it's so important. And maybe just give the audience at home, because we got actually a couple of questions about this in our AMA Friday. What does a Club America chapter do?

It's the go-to place if you want to be a future patriotic leader. If you love your country, if you believed in what Charlie believed in, if you want to stand out and make a difference, if you want to learn how to have a respectful debate and dialogue, if you want to work with community leaders and civic leaders, Club America is the place to be. If you want to be the next Charlie, if you want to be the next president of the United States, and you're a young person in high school wondering, how do I make a difference at this age, join Club America.

It's the starting point for your journey to become that active model citizen. I love that. And so you guys do community outreach, you go to reg, you have host speakers, you do community things. Yes, that's right. And so it's just, you're also, by the way, which should not be understated here, you're connected to a larger movement, which is Turning Point USA, so the students get invited to the national events. You get potential grants to host speakers in your local community, maybe on campus or off campus, right?

That's correct. There's all kinds of options that open up before you if you join a Club America chapter. And this is what's so crazy. All these schools have like, you know, LGBTQ and the. your queer rights stuff and all, you know. But we run into all the problems. It's Club America that is often, you know, gets challenged. That's why these are so important to have states.

Governor Jim Forte in this whole state of Montana, it's going to have our back. So if you're a kid that wants to start a club in Montana, you now have the red carpet out in front of you. That's right. No one's going to stop you. That's amazing. More states coming too. You're doing great work, Nick. Thank you, Andrew.

God bless you, man. Thanks for having me. Lots of big announcements. The All-American Half-Time Show is been announced. The details have been announced. We have a massive, massive powerhouse of a lineup. You can check out more at AmericanHaptime Show.com, AmericanHaptime Show.com.

But, of course, the big announcement is that we've got Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, and Gabby Barrett, all with huge number one songs. You're going to recognize all of them. sing along good for the whole family faith family freedom if you love america you just want to have a good time it's going to be great made for tv it's going to be intimate that's the thing there you know the cameras are like a mile away in those stadiums this is going to be intimate and then of course nick coca with our field team on the club american side another statewide partnership this one in montana with governor jean fort date massive massive blake throwing it to you this all righty yeah

we've got a friend of mine i used to know way back when i was at the daily caller which was a decade to go at this point. But Luke Roziak, and he's now a reporter, an O'Sate reporter at the Daily Wire. Are you there, Luke? I'm there, Blake. So great to connect with you again. Awesome. Awesome. Good to see you. This is the legend. He helped blow up in the Loudoun County story. Years ago. I know of Luke because of the Loudoun County story, which was obviously you delivered a governorship with that one, Luke. It was a it was a huge, huge story. It changed the course of the country. I mean, I still use them. A series you did more than a decade. decade ago on the DC subway system is one of my favorites for how DEI blows everything up and how it really works. But we've recently on this show, Luke, we've been talking a lot about the 8A program. A lot of the ways the government does extremely inefficient or wasteful or discriminatory contracting, wastes a ton of your money, gives a ton of your money to scammers. And I saw this story you did at the end of last week and it made me laugh really hard. And I just thought we should have Luke on to

explain this because it's so illustrative of how things really work. The headline for everyone is how the military gave a homeless lesbians minority contracting firm $19 million. Luke, how about you tell this story for our audience? Sure. So 8A contracting, I'm so glad you guys have been talking about it a lot. It gives no bid contracts if you're a women-owned or a minority-owned firm. And the issue is a lot of times they're not even doing the work. They're just passing it through.

And so this is a woman who had, she had like a rock band. And actually, a pretty decent band. And she was just like living in her van going on tour with her bandmate, who was also her wife, I guess. And so they decided to incorporate a company. And they got that SBA designation to be a minority disadvantaged business. And it's funny, actually, because she's a woman. She's a woman, but she's a double victim because she also had one grandparent from Spain. So that's Hispanic.

You could be a descendant of Christopher Columbus and you'd be a Hispanic victim. under the 8-A program and our government would give you preference. So she had one grandparent from Spain, and so they said, you are a disadvantaged Hispanic who should get legal preferences from the government. Did her sexuality come into play here as well? I'm just curious. No, just women-owned.

But she's super feminist. And so she got this contract to make uniforms for the military, but she didn't own a factory or anything. She had no ability to make all this. So first of all, the contract was first. new balance clothes. So there's really only one place you can buy them is new balance. But because the government wants to get the small business set asides and the minority set asides, they'll oftentimes do these contracts where the government is basically, and this is what I testified to the Senate about

eight a last month. And so I tried to say, it's not all about individual scamming the government. The government kind of knows that some of this stuff is going on. So they knew that somebody was just going to, you know, pass it through a new balance or pay new balance for a license and then wind up sewing it themselves and creating some weird new balance knockoffs. But anyway, this woman didn't have the ability to stitch anything herself. So I talked to a guy, a white male who actually was in the garment industry. And he said that she, you know, was living in her car and said, look, I got this contract. Could you know, like how I could actually do the contract?

And he said, well, you know, I can do it for you. So he, she did all the work. And at one point, he realized that she was kind of lying. to the government and pretending it was her factory. And he did a FOIA to get the contract, which said, you know, you're not supposed to be doing this. And so at that point, she started retaliating against him. She cast a curse on him.

She's like a witch, I guess. And like all kinds of crazy stuff started going down. And she wound up suing, you know, one of the people doing all the work for her because she felt like they were kind of, she actually had a contract that laid the whole pass-through scheme out in black and white, which usually people are smart enough not to do it. It's like, I am going to broker you this contract. Don't talk to the military. Pretend that I'm doing it for you. And she had them sign it. Um, so anyway, in the course of the lawsuit, it really backfired. And she went up going out of business because she had to pay the attorney's fees for the, the,

her pawns, her tokens that, you know, her. That's a, that's good news, of course. But at the same time, they never really were, they were never declared like, oh, this is a bad contract. They were never ruled in bad standing. No one. never got prosecuted or sued by the government for this, correct? Right. I mean, it was only her own incompetence that caused it to collapse. The contract actually had a ceiling of $72 million. And so by the time she kind of screwed it up, it was $19 million had been paid out.

But yeah, you know, I asked her for comment and she sent me 10 emails calling me an evil Jew and talking about evil war profiteers and saying that I had demonic male energy and that males are too warlike. And it's like, well, lady, you're the one who got. $19 million from the Department of War and I think they kind of want warlike energy there and certainly she's profited more off the military industrial complex than I have but it's just a crazy way I mean this in this case it was just closed like training uniforms that the Marine Corps would use but we could be talking about weapons here and they're buying things and there's like there's no

chain of custody for where this stuff is actually coming from it could just be like crazy people who are totally unqualified um making some of this stuff and that's kind of one of the real perils of 8a Yeah, it's so ludicous. I want to get this quote, because it's in the article that she told you she is, quote, starting a coalition for women to run the planet. Peace and light and love, like the orca whales, raise the frequency of the planet. Male energy is heavy and warlike and long overdue for a reduction.

And we have these programs. It's such, it just is such a, I love this story because it's such a perfect illustration of the travesty that, oh, we want to give a leg up to these minorities. these disadvantaged firms. And yet it's the exact, it's really just, you're paying this like feudal due to somebody. She's just, there's no real business, there's no real work. It's entirely just this payoff so that other people can do the work, but they get paid less than they would otherwise. Well, and it's, you think about, we started translating how much money is getting wasted in terms of how many lifetimes of, of average Americans, taxes, you know, that we're, were being just wasted on complete garbage like this.

So it's just, you imagine how many Americans had to pay taxes last year, whenever this contract went out that just went to some, you know, washed up, you know, female band member in a van that is blaming the Jews for global slavery or something. Like, you think, let's just say that was, that was a hundred tax, you know, year receipts for Americans. So 100 people paid their taxes last year. this burnout in a van who used to be in a band could do a pass-through expense to New Balance.

Like, it's just absolutely insane when you get to that point. And you think about Nick Shirley would do the same things. He would say, I just, you think about all the people that are getting defrauded. It's taxpayers. We're the ones getting defrauded with this. It's infuriating. Hi, folks, Andrew Colvette here. I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y-Refi.

You've probably been hearing me talk about Y-Refi for some time now. We are all in with these guys.

That's the letter Y, then refi.com.

And remember, YREFI doesn't care what your credit score is. Just go to whyrefi.com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. Yeah, but so Luke, another story, you get a lot of this. And so I wanted to flag another of your stories that tell the story of the CFO of the African Development Foundation. Sure. So I did a really long series and sort of magazine style story back in May about this agency that's sort of like the little brother of USAID. And it's supposed to give money to Africa. But I proved that they were doing exactly what people kind of speculated that USA might be doing, which is they were giving grants to Africa. But then they had secret deals with the Africans that the money would come back to America. Some of it in straight up bribes, but also just like kind of paying bureaucrats in D.C. to do their work. So they were essentially hiding it from. Congress and making it look like it was actually donations to poor people. So the African Development Foundation, even one of the board members, he was the head of the, you know, herbal life that it's like a pyramid scheme that pushes like nutrition supplements. He was the head,

he was on the board as government agency. And so they tried to push this for profit pyramid scheme on African peasants so that his company could make more money. You know, there were allegations of all kinds of racial stuff where the general counsel they hired actually they accidentally hired a white guy to be their top lawyer and he was like well you guys are just violating the law like here's all these laws you're breaking you're just like hiding all this money like the stuff you're doing is insane and so they wound up wound up pushing him out um and like calling the police on him just really corrupt stuff that gave the sense that like they were all in on hiding some really bad things and so uh this week the CFO actually pleaded guilty to something that I had said in my story, which is he was taking bribes from this particular company, which was in Africa, but it was created by an African American, I guess you could say. He was a former federal employee who moved over to Africa and he was still friends with a guy at this agency. So he gave him a contract and some of it went back to him. And then the rest was used to just kind of keep to enrich his friend and then also to pay bills,

including bureaucrats who were living in D.C. would get this random, like, wire of money coming from Africa. So the foreign aid was just sort of this pass-throughs. And so he pleaded guilty, and then the Senate voted, had a vote to abolish it over the weekend. But actually 11 Republicans voted against abolishing this agency. They voted to table the amendment that was brought by Mike Lee. And these are people like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and stuff like that. And so USAID is gone.

This agency is way more. Granted, it's a lot smaller, but it's like, it's quite a story. I mean, it's just wild the stuff that they were doing. But we had 11 Republicans, you know, vote against actually abolishing it. Yeah, that's just, yeah, you're correct. It is at least smaller, but yeah, it's, and you're a government efficiency reporter. One minute here. Just can you give a general perspective? How, what's the scale of how this is going on and how should Americans think about this? Just, I know obviously we've had this push on government efficiency. We've found a little bit of it. But the sense I get is just there's this absolute feeding frenzy.

And if you're not in one of these preferred groups, you're just kind of left out and treated it as a sucker. Yeah. I mean, certainly we were told when Doge was making inroads that the Doge was pointless because so much of the spending is in mandatory, non-discretionary spending, like Medicaid and defense. But it turns out that Medicaid and defense are super for. broad-ridden. And I think that a lot of it hides behind privacy. But once you actually see it with your eyes, it's like this is just blatantly scamming. And the government is just paying out in a way that a charity would never do that because it's just clear that it's not even it's not even helping anybody. But if we can't even get rid of an agency who's CFO admitted that he was corrupt and they blocked Doge from coming in. And it wasn't because they had this moral high ground. It was because they're hiding hiding their crimes. If we can't even get rid of. of 8A, which the Alaskan Republican senators are against that because the Eskimos are in on the grift or

the people that pretend to me Eskimos. I don't know what we're doing here. Luke Roziak, thank you very much. Check him out on X at the Daily Wire or check his book, Race to the Bottom, online. Thank you for joining us. Thanks, guys. It's been an eventful Monday. I feel like the show has flown by.

I've had a great time. And I have to say that having Kid Rock on the show was like checking a body. of my, you know, we actually had tried with Charlie a while back, and it just didn't work out for whatever reason. He was at our inauguration, you know, inaugural Eve Ball or whatever, so I got to meet Bob there, Bob Ritchie, Detroit hip-hop scene. Now he's headlining our Super Bowl. I did it. Our All-American halftime show. Our unrelated, our unrelated, our big sports,

yay sports. Half-time of the evening. thing with you know yeah for the all-American people anyways we're we're excited about that it was a great great time and then to see another state step up and support our club america chapters is huge montana thank you governor jean fort day so we're at texas florida tennessee indiana oklahoma oklahoma at louisiana maybe i think i think we don't want to leave anyone out anyways and there's more coming that's the other that's the other piece of this and so you know when you get depressed about all those student walkouts and the brainwashing that's happening, just remember there is a whole counter movement going on, and turning points playing a huge role in that.

And so we're just grateful for the partnerships. And we have more news being made that will happen this afternoon. We've got Dan Patrick in from Texas. It's going to be great. We'll see him in just a bit. We'll have to pre-record because he's here today, but we might show it on the show tomorrow. So some more fun stuff happening there. But today, and this will be our,

a good final segment for the show today. Today marks an auspicious 10-year anniversary. Do we have that clip ready yet, guys? Otherwise, I'll have to like hype it up while they get it. Wait until they get it. But this is an auspicious anniversary. An auspicious anniversary. It's crazy, I will say, I've got to filibuster a bit while they get it ready.

Like, we're reaching these 10-year anniversaries for so many Donald Trump-related things. It's a little crazy for me to think that a good third of mine. conscious life has been with Donald Trump. It's been in the Trump era. Yeah, the Trump era and how everything has just revolved around him since he came on to the sea. Not, you know, just everything, even when he's not in office, that's what everyone's talking about. That's what the press is most obsessed with. And it's almost easy to forget what it was like when he was still this insurgent candidate that we were going into the 2016 election.

And of all things, the big favorite was George W. Bush's brother. Jeb Bush. Good old Jeb. George W. Bush's administration did not end well. He had record low approval ratings by the time he was leaving other than Nixon during Watergate. He got us into multiple Quagmire Wars,

and yet they were going to trot out this guy to run, and they'd say, oh, that's going to be our nominee in 2016. And what happened over and over again is he was not adroit enough to handle President Trump. And today, 10 years ago, I think was the day where I and many other people realized, like, Donald Trump is going to win the nomination. And he might win the presidency after that.

It is please clap day. This is, the please clap day was a turning point in American history. Pun intended, very intentional. And what's interesting about this, it was the death knell, unbeknownst to many. But you said you picked it up. You could feel it in the ether. but it was the death of the neocons. The GOP had been dominated by warmongers,

the invade the world, invite the world crowd, and who is more, I guess, symbolically important in that than the Bush dynasty, right? You've got two invasions of Iraq, an invasion of Afghanistan, two wars that lasted on and on and on, cost trillions of dollars, countless American lives,

countless Iraqi lives and Afghani lives. I mean, this is a really, important moment in history. So please take it away. Show us the clip, Blake. All righty. And so we have, this was the week before the New Hampshire primary. And I believe Donald Trump didn't win

the Iowa caucus. Correct. He lost it. And so this is New Hampshire primary a week out. Jeb Bush has a lot of money. He's been doing all this. And then he's speaking to a small crowd in New Hampshire. And this happens. Clip 304. It up is creating a more dangerous

world. So here's my pledge to you. I will be a commander in chief that will have the back of the military. I won't trash talk. I won't be a divider in chief or an agitator in chief. I won't be out there at Blow Harden talking a big game without backing it up.

I think the next president needs to be a lot quieter, but send a signal that we're prepared to act in the national security interests of this country to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world. Please clap. Please clap. And with that, that's, more painful actually that I remember.

Please clap. And at that, everyone thought, low energy gel. Oh, low energy gel. Low energy gel. And you know it's ironic, watching that back. Just real quick, a week later, on the 9th, Donald Trump, he won 35% of the vote in New Hampshire. He beat John Kasich.

Remember that guy? Beat him by 20. That guy got second. John Kasich is basically a Democrat. Basically. And that was the first primary he won. He won a bunch of them after that. And the rest is history. The rest is history. What a history.

Ten years. You know it's funny. You think about these kids walking out of high school right now. They're 18. They've basically, the majority of their life has been dominated by President Trump. Even when Joe Biden was president, it was still dominated by President Trump. Their whole political, conscious lives have been dominated by one man. We have staffers on this show who are young enough that they only faintly remember Barack Obama getting elected,

which is really uncomfortable for me because I've voted in that election. Yeah. No, I totally agree. Yeah. That's a wild stat. And actually, I was looking at some of these, there's a basketball player that he was the youngest person to score 49 points. It was an S&L clip.

It was going viral because he's a white guy. And the S&L guy, it was black, goes, this is a really bad start to black history month because you have this like 19 year old white guy scoring 49 points in the NBA. Anyways, I was looking at his birthday. It was like, yeah, it was like 2006. And that was the first thought I had. I was like, he was not born. He has no memory.

He wasn't even alive when 9-11 happened. We're getting that far away from all these things. That's actually the most, the easiest way to remember what Gen Z is is they don't remember 9-11. Sure. Because it's like 1998. If you're three, you still don't really remember those things. A thousand percent. It's just, yeah, it's wild.

Anyway, so this is, it's been a big day here. It's been a big 10 years for the country. And there's no dumerism allowed on the Charlie Kirk show. there's no, none of that. No black pilling allowed. Even if it's really alliterative with one of the people on the show's names. Even with Black pill Blake. Black, Plale Blake is not even allowed to black pill.

And you do a pretty darn good job most of the time. I do my best. I do my best. You try and be positive. Charlie was also very good at that. Charlie, certainly you and I both know he could feel down a lot of the time. And it was always internally said no black pilling. He would find the upside.

He would find the way to learn. He would find the way to move forward. because that was your duty. Your duty was not to whine. Your duty was not to grouse. Your duty was to learn and to fight and hopefully win. But winning wasn't the point. Doing your duty was the point.

You don't fight because you know you're going to win. You fight because it's the right thing to do. That's why we do things like the All-American Half-Time Show. That's why Club America is spreading all across the country to get high schoolers in Jen's ears. We don't even remember 9-11. But now they remember Jeb Bush because we just told them about it.
