Blake right now is furiously studying. Got to read all about the seven kings of Rome, the Gracchi brothers. All right. First question is, Jeff, thank you for being a member, members.charlykirk.com, members.charlykirk.com. Jeff, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind?
Hello, Charlie. I am a retired physician, and I recently was inspired when I watched you moderate the Maha conversation with RFK Jr. and Kevin Means. I also was a volunteer to go over all the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine preclinical trial data and had a 180 in my whole view about the FDA and the CDC, whom most of us felt betrayed us. So I would like to get involved with the team that RFK Jr. is putting together. And my question to you is, what's the best way to contact the right person to offer my services?
Yeah, first of all, thank you. I'm going to answer that question in a second. But can you just inform the audience what was it about the preclinical trials that opened your eyes as a physician? I'm guessing in your career as a physician, you generally had trusted the FDA and vaccine technology and vetting. I'm guessing.
You could correct me if I'm wrong. But what was it about that that really animated you? Please tell the audience. I did trust those institutions for most of my career. I was a pediatric anesthesiologist. Oh, wow. And but as we were going through the trial data, these were very technical people.
And we would meet every week on a Zoom call. And as each week went by, we discovered more and more how the data had been hidden. Pfizer went out of their way to obscure and hide the damaging data. I, for example, found out that the vaccine efficacy started to wane at three months, but they didn't talk about that.
It was not efficacious at all. So as time went on, we became more and more shocked and felt a sense of betrayal. That's what happened. Yeah, that's amazing. And I just, first of all, I mean, you being a pediatric anesthesiologist, are you retired or you're still practicing or? I'm retired now. Well, that's quite a level, an accomplishment to get to.
Anesthesiology in its core is hard, let alone getting to the level of pediatric. So you know what you're talking about. And so to answer your question directly, we have your information. I will connect you with Bobby Kennedy's team directly, and we'll get you on the roster. And so what is being done right now is that Bobby Kennedy, Cali means they are developing an All-Star team, a roster, if you will, of people that are willing to serve in the FDA and the CDC. I'm guessing you'd be one of those people to, you know, help out in the federal government to try to get truth, transparency and integrity back to our regulatory agencies. I don't want to speak for you, Jeff, but I'm guessing that's what you're asking, right?
No, that's exactly what you talked about with Mr. Kennedy and Cali means. I agree with everything. I've been dismayed for quite some time about the poor state of our health care system and what the big ag has been able to do to our food supply compared to Europe and other countries.
I know Robert Malone or Peter McCullough, but I understand how to read the data. I understand the issues. And I'm 70 years old, but I'm in pretty good shape. And I feel like this is so important that I would like to offer my services, come out of retirement, do what I can to help our country. Well, God bless you, Jeff.
I will connect you. Thank you for being a member. And that was very insightful. And I agree with you. My entire life, I was generally trusting of what the FDA was saying around vaccine efficacy, technology and adverse events.
And during covid, a lot of eyes were open, myself included. I'm far from an expert. I'm a layman on this stuff. But you are an expert. People just don't understand what Jeff's job was. Jeff's job was to basically put kids under anesthesia successfully and safely when they were getting operated on.
That's that he had probably thousands of kids lives in his hands. So, Jeff, God bless you for your service. Happy to connect you off here. Thank you, Jeff, for being a member. Thank you. OK, let's go to Katie. Katie, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind?
Hey, Charlie. So I'm wondering, I know that you're obviously on college campuses a lot and you're engaging with young men and young women a lot. So I know that you've said you're seeing a lot of very, very liberal young women and more of a swing towards conservatism on the men's side. I'm wondering what your take is on what's contributing to that. And then also, as a young woman, how can you speak to the young women who follow you?
How can we engage with the more undecided female voters and even the more liberal voters? First of all, thank you for that. It's so interesting. I've received that question three times this week and I'm not at all upset. It's just really telling to me this is top of mind. And I got this question at Dream City.
I got this question yesterday in Canyon, Texas. And then from you, New York Times article also reaffirms that. Can you pull up that New York Times article, Blake, that I sent about young women? And so the New York Times article was exploring what is it? Why are young ladies becoming so liberal?
It's hard for me to summarize kind of what I said recently at the events. But let me just say this. It is largely because of the content and the role models that young men are looking up to and young ladies are looking up to. Young men are looking up to people like Jordan Peterson, like Matt Walsh. They're looking up to shows like this one. They're looking up the Dan Bongino Tucker Carlson shows that really talk about the divine, the eternal, the good, the beautiful, the conservative. Young ladies do not have a similar canon of influencers that are in that tradition.
Instead, the cultural icons or influencers that young ladies largely look up to, with some exceptions like Ali Stuckey, so on and so forth, are ones that it's all about career advancement. It is about self. It is about bodily autonomy. It is about free sex.
It is about freezing your eggs. It is about a rejection of those norms. It's really sad. I think women are more pro-social. So I think the sort of like very intense propaganda like explosion that you got from about 2016 onwards, both about, you know, Trump being a fascist Nazi Hitler and like the kind of like racism obsession and like Me Too, all of these sort of propaganda narratives way more powerfully overwhelmed their brains, like their kind of defense mechanisms.
They don't want to, if you're a woman, you don't want to stand out from, you know, the group consensus. So it's much more powerful to them. And I think because these narratives are so harmful, a lot of them, it's made them a lot of them like very mentally unwell. Like, you know, we've all seen those charts where like liberal young women, more than half of them have some sort of psychiatric diagnosis. And so you have like, older crazy people making younger people crazy. COVID hits made them even crazier. George Floyd made him even crazier. And so you have a lot of people who have genuinely a lot of problems and were sympathetic to them, of course, but they're also sort of, they're causing a lot of chaos, like, you know, people with disordered lives creating a disordered society.
Yeah. And I will say, so your question I want to get to specifically, the explanation I could go deeper and deeper into, and I will just add to this, to Blake's point, young women are far more susceptible to social contagion. Young ladies, 75% of trans identifying youth are women. Women are more likely to get involved in suicide cults, to cut themselves more likely to be involved in fads. That's just the way God designed women versus men. And liberalism is the new social contagion for young ladies and young women. What can be done about it?
I do not know. I'll be very honest and very candid with you. We have a ton of young ladies that support us when I go to these campuses. It's obviously predominantly men, but there is a fair amount of young women that support us and run our chapters and get engaged and get involved. However, the young ladies that don't like us, it's not just they don't like us, it is a venomous hatred. I mean, it is wishing us death.
It is really nasty. And so my best piece of advice is probably just try to meet women where they're at. And you have to argue on emotionality and not rationality because young ladies do not look at politics through reason or through deductive thinking. It is hyper emotional and also incredibly narcissistic. That's not an accusation, but young ladies think about things first and foremost about themselves, not about society, not about culture, not about morals, but about what is best for me. And the screed of that worldview, the culmination of that is the ability to author life and to take life, which is abortion. And that's why young ladies take abortion so seriously. It's that I am in charge of death, not God.
I can control nature. I hope that's helpful. And thank you for being a member.
We'll dive more into that topic, I'm sure, as we proceed. All right, this quiz session is brought to you by Hillsdale College. Charlie for Hillsdale dot com. That is Charlie for Hillsdale dot com. All right, Blake, let me first set the table.
There are many, many Hillsdale online courses. This one is called The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic. Oh, boy. All right. And so I have the quiz pulled up right here.
So at the end of all Hillsdale College courses are quizzes. So I think I could get this one. This is question one.
The territory of the Roman Empire was primarily acquired by the Roman Republic. We'll find out if you're right at the end of the quiz. Okay. All right. All right. Rome is located along the blank river. Tiber. Okay.
In sixth century B.C., Rome was surrounded by the blank. If you need the options, I can give them to you. So it's multiple choice. Correct. And there's an all of the above option.
Okay. So they want so if there's I should probably list them to be fair. I mean, so they're going to say the if it's sixth century, that's early enough. The immediate people would be the Latins. That's the people in Latium.
If they go bigger, it would be Etruscans because they had Etruscans, kings of Rome. And then if they're having both of those as options, they are. Then there's a third one. Is it Samnites? Yes. Those are all three. All right.
Then it would be all three. Okay. That's pretty impressive. Yeah. Because they'll definitely have Latins and Etruscans at that time.
Samnites were in like the hills kind of further away. They fought them later, but they'll include them, I bet. That's that's that's a big deal. So, okay, let's that's really well done. Okay. Blank kings ruled over Rome for several centuries. Is this the number or? No, no, no.
So it's multiple. It would ethnic group Etruscan kings. Okay.
Great. At the beginning of the Roman Republic, southern Italy was dominated by what kind of colonies? Greek.
The Greeks failed to maintain control of the Mediterranean largely because the Greek city states. I need to read that if you can get this. I mean, they they like fought each other. They fought each other. They weren't a unified state.
So they had to call them like King Pyrrhus and stuff. Literally, one of the options is struggle to unify. Okay. Yeah. Well, so.
Or lack of money. Like they just they weren't one country. They were all these city states. So Rome was this big dog and kind of came in and beat them up.
Would you say that is correct? Yeah. Carthage was a colony established by Phoenicians.
That's not one of the options. So is it like a specific city? Yeah. It would be Sparta, Athens, Tyre. That's a Phoenician city. Okay.
Yeah. The Phoenicians were primarily interested in. They'll say trade. Like that's mostly because we don't have other surviving texts, but they're going to say trade.
Okay. The Phoenicians, this is a true or false. The Phoenicians were admired by the Mediterranean neighbors for their trading prowess and devout religious beliefs.
They're going to say true or false. I bet they're going to say false because the Phoenicians are the ones who did the sacrifices to like Moloch. Like child sacrifice. They were always, everyone would trash the Phoenicians because they did human sacrifice.
Like they sacrificed babies to Baal and all of that. So I'm going to say false. You would say they were not admired. Okay.
Yeah. They were kind of despised for it. True or false. The conquest of Phoenicia by Alexander the Great gave Carthage a strategic advantage over Rome in the contest to control the Mediterranean. I'm going to say gave Carthage an advantage. I'm going to say false because those would be natural allies of theirs and they were like wiped out.
That's a weird question, but I'll say false. Okay. You ready for how you did? All right. How'd we do? How'd we do?
Blake Neff scored a hundred percent. Oh yeah. There's more. There's more to come. All right. I want to do the Punic Wars quiz.
That'll be a fun one. So Blake got all of these right. It was, yep. That's right.
Tiber River, all the above. It's pretty, the fact you got both falses. That's big.
Those are silly questions a little, but you know, whatever. I'll take it. I'll take the W. Blake Neff, everybody. Charlie for Hillsdale.com. That pop quiz was brought, and he didn't see any questions.

She's got to unmute herself. Stacey, thank you for being a member. Charlie, how are we doing? We are living the dream.
Yeah, we are. It's so nice to see you. Blake, hi. How are you doing? I'm doing great.
Stacey's a big Blake fan. That's great. That's good. Yes, I am. Okay. I have two comments and then a question. My first comment is, someone who's been in the trenches with you for many, many years and have been through life's ups and downs, the joys and the sadness of life, what we're seeing on campuses right now, Grand Canyon University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, is a far cry from where we started many, many years ago, where we'd show up and there'd be 200 miserable people throwing stuff at us.
That's right. So seeing the MAGA hats is unreal. And I just want this audience to know that that did not happen overnight. That was 12 years of a grind of late nights, sleepless nights, red eyes, and the dedication and the sacrifices that Charlie, you and the team have put in to make this a reality right now is like one of the most joyous things I've ever witnessed in my life. Well, thank you. And I'm so proud to be a part of it. And, you know, your mission could only be described as like the relentless pursuit of greatness, which I am happy to be a part of.
And I'm so proud of you. And I know none of that would be possible if you didn't have your amazing wife, Erica, holding down everything for you so you can go do what you need to do. And her full support of you is remarkable. She doesn't, she is the unsung hero of 2024.
That's right. And I want to praise her and I want to ask, here's my question. I know you love a big lead up to a question. How can this audience, how can this audience pray for you and Erica?
Well, thank you. I mean, pray that, pray that we make it to election day in one piece. This has been a very difficult season. I mean, Erica brought a baby all the way to term, delivered the baby we had all summer and just pray, first of all, that my voice keeps, I know that sounds silly.
It is a daily, I'm literally like chugging honey tea as I do this. It's I was joking with Blake this morning. It's kind of like being an NFL football player, being like, is my knee going to give out? Is it not going to get?
It's just every day. And then just honestly pray that God puts us in the right places to make the maybe the marginal difference from now to the election. And so we are hopefully planning just like a couple weeks to breathe after the election.
But it's going to I have a feeling that's not going to happen. Who knows what this world will look like after the election. So Erica is the unsung hero of all this. And Stacy, you've played a huge role and it is the team that deserves the credit truly. And if we win this November, then, you know, glory be to God. And if we don't win, then we're going to go right back to work. But I will say this win or lose. If we if we win, we will have made a huge difference at turning point.
If we lose, we would have lost by a lot more if it wasn't fight for turning point. I really believe that. So thank you, Stacy. You're the best. Thank you. Thank you. Stacy's on our team, by the way, one of our our top game changers.
She's amazing. Meanwhile, Andrew is on the phone with reporters, otherwise known as maggots. All right, Elizabeth, thank you for being a member. What is on your mind? Hi, Charlie. Hi, Blake. Good.
How are you? Good. Thank you. Thank you for being a member.
Yes, thank you for giving us the opportunity to be members. And thank you for being at GCU this past week. My daughter attends GCU. She graduates this December. So she texted me the other day and said, guess who's here?
That's amazing. And she did not go because she hates large crowds. So she's been to one like Welcome Week event in the stadium because it's just overwhelming for her. She gets a little claustrophobic and overwhelmed, but she recognized that you were there. She is a registered voter.
So we're happy for that. She doesn't want to vote. So she doesn't like the choices. She was she was excited about RFK. And now she's just Harris is absolutely a no go, thankfully. But she is just I don't know, I obviously she's aware that RFK has endorsed Trump and as a part of that team now and health is super important to her. So that's, that's a good thing. But she just cannot get past how the media has portrayed Trump. And again, it's that woman voter where it's like that female voter, especially that young female voter.
That's right. It's a really great question. I want to continue here. So here's how I would frame it. Elizabeth, and thank you for being a member is that I've said this before, and it's worth repeating, you are not voting for Trump, you are voting for which team of 5000 people better fit with your values.
So what I would tell your daughter is, do me a favor, don't think about Trump for the next 30 seconds, which team is better fit with what you care about with health, where you care about with a strong country, not about Donald Trump, the individual or the person Blake, do you have something to add? It's just it really is a big picture thing. And what we really see, especially with Biden, because Biden himself is such a non entity as a person, he's like out of it, you're really seeing what guiding principles are manifesting themselves within the government, in terms of just the Democrat team, the 5000 people they got in.
And that's, you have kind of unprecedented punitive investigations and prosecutions of political enemies. You have total disaster on the border, not because it's impossible to stop them because, but because they just refuse to stop anyone from coming in. Like, they have a, they feel it's a moral commandment to let every single person in the world into this country, and to give them tons of welfare. You see that their military is a mess. You can see that FEMA is a mess because they're not people who believe in hiring based on merit or running an organization with any sort of efficiency whatsoever. You see that they basically, you know, they give a lot of power to these like mobbed up union groups, because those are a traditional Democrat constituency. There's all of these problems that come out of the sort of left liberal Democrat milieu of how to run things.
And all of that manifests so glaringly when Biden is not himself there to, you know, at least slightly mitigate it. And so, so Elizabeth, I would also just, and you're thinking about this correctly, you never want to sell somebody something to somebody or try to commit if you don't know something about them. So you know what values your daughter cares about.
If she cares about Christian values, then say, would you rather have a president like Donald Trump that has Franklin Graham in his ear or Kamala Harris, who is adversarial to the people of faith? So that's what I would do. And as a parent, I wouldn't give up. I would do everything you can to try to convince your daughter of that.
And if she's paying for her own college, then she has a big say in that. But if not, I would do everything you can to be persuasive if you understand what I'm saying. So thank you for being a member, Elizabeth. I appreciate it. Thank you, Charlie. God bless you.
Okay. Dennis is with us. Dennis, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind? Thank you, Charlie. I just unmuted. So I think I'm okay now. You are great, Dennis.
Thank you. I have two particular concerns. And one major concern is that the president has often been speaking about the danger of World War III with the rhetoric that we're hearing from Harris and her group. But I don't think we've really made clear what World War III is going to be like. I think a lot of people think it's just going to be a different version of World War II. But I'm urging you to interview the author of the book, Nuclear War, Anne Jacobson.
I just read it. And it's rather frightening because all of the games that the Department of Defense has played always results in total destruction. You don't have limited nuclear war. And so that's something that I think the president really needs to stress.
But I don't want to take any more of the time. No, no, that's okay. And did you have a second point you wanted to make?
Yes. In the debate, the only problem I felt that J.D. had, he didn't really respond properly, I think, to this farce that we're hearing from Harris and her running mate that if we had only passed this border bill, everything would be fine. Yeah, I agree with that. I don't think we made it clear that that border bill wasn't going to stop immigration.
It would legitimize the open border. Okay. Yep.
Thank you. So to Dennis's point, first of all, Blake, you're a war expert, more so than most, historian of war. What would a World War III look like?
I mean, depends on what it looks like. But as so, you know, he was talking during the break, that, like, the scale of destruction that can be wrought if worst comes to worst is truly unthinkable. So, you know, let's imagine we get in World War III, no holds barred, against, like, China and Russia. Well, both China and Russia between them have many thousands of nuclear weapons, like, armed, ready to launch. These are not things, like, you can't shoot down these things with an iron dome. They're much bigger, much faster moving than that.
You know, there's been you know, there's been some efforts towards getting tech like that, but certainly nothing that could stop all of them. And, you know, the atomic bombs that we have today are far more powerful than the one that flattened Hiroshima, you know, 80 years ago. These days, we have bombs that it's actually so insane what you can imagine. You can shoot a missile and it'll split into 10 different missiles. Every single one of them is a hydrogen bomb that is 50, 100 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. And you could just, you could obliterate an entire metropolitan area with one missile, kill 10 million people with it. And, like, and then on top of that, you know, you'll sometimes hear people think about, you know, if there's an EMP attack, you can detonate one nuclear bomb up in the atmosphere, and it'll fry every electronic in, you know, over half a continent.
So, you have to really understand there are kind of deluded lunatics out there who aren't good at running the math on this. And so you'd see them in the Cold War. They'd be like, we can win a nuclear war with Russia. Like, we can win it. Like, we just have to do a first strike and we can take out enough of their missiles. These people are insane.
They are mentally unwell people who love war. Any sort of, like, major true nuclear war against Russia or China or really any country, it is a loss. It is a loss for everyone. And everyone afterwards who's alive would be like, why did we think this was a good idea? And if anyone's alive, I mean, yeah, there'll be someone alive.
Yeah. You know, as they say, I think it was Einstein who said, I don't know what the Third World War will be fought with, but the fourth will be fought with rocks because that's all that'll be left. And so you see people be really flippant about the idea of war. And they shouldn't be because wars are vastly more.
They have the capacity to be far more destructive than they have ever been before. So the second part of the point was about JD's debate. I think JD did really well. I don't want to criticize him, but I do agree that there could have been more of at least during the dialogue of this ridiculous James Lankford border bill. Yeah.
Thanks a lot, James. And he just introduced this bill, which again, we have to remind everyone what the bill would have done is it basically would have said you can let in, I think, was it five thousand a day or so a day per day. And if if it went above that, then it's an average. Then it's a crisis as an average. Then the one day could be seventeen thousand. The next day could be two thousand. Yeah. So five thousand one point five million a month.
Yeah. Which means not quite that five thousand a day. So that would be it'd be several well over a million illegal arrivals per year.
And that's just normal. That's just, you know, cost of doing business is the baseline baseline. So it would basically take a level of illegal arrivals that we never saw ever until Biden was president, more or less, and say that's actually the new baseline standard.
And it's not even really an emergency till you go above that amount. And then you then you can do some certain special powers of the president to make them go home when obviously these should just be the powers you have no matter what, because people who are here illegally should not be here. They should be sent back. And that's the basics of what it should be. And James Lankford came out and thought, oh, yeah, I'm just going to introduce this bipartisan bill to fix everything. And now every Democrat's glommed onto it, talking about all this great bill that Donald Trump ruined that would have totally fixed our border by just having, you know, of course, permanent, perpetual importation of every single person who wants to come to America. That's right, Dennis, thank you for being a member.

Is that right? Hi. Hi, Kit.
How are you? I'm told you are Daisy's mom. Nice to meet you.
I am Daisy's mom. She does a great job. You should be very proud. I am very proud. She's extraordinary. But I want to say thank you. I admire you greatly and I admire what you do every day.
So and again, I'm a big admirer of Daisy, too. So but my question is, I work at Valley Christian Schools and we have campuses in Chandler and Tempe and we serve many families who enjoy that they can have Christian education, that they can have private education. And there are thousands of families in Arizona all across that want their children in the same type of schooling environment and they utilize school choice programs. So right now, as you know, school choice in Arizona is at risk and this directly affects so many children and families as a school. We're urging people to vote. But can you give me your thoughts on school choice and the threat we face at this election? Absolutely. Yes. So just so I understand in the national audience.
Thank you, Kit. That's that's very well put. In Arizona, we have the best school choice laws in the country where we have full mobility of taxpayer dollars that could be allocated to private school, Christian school, you name it. And it's working. It's working.
It's working really well. We have amazing new schools that are popping up. We have Dream City Christian that we're partnered with up in Glendale. We have the Valley Schools.
We have amazing schools and it really allows mobility and for parents to choose. If the Democrats were to win back the Arizona House this cycle or Senate, one of their top orders of business is to get rid of the school voucher program. Now, thankfully, I don't think they'll be successful. I don't think they're going to win back the Arizona House or Senate. But this is a wildly popular program right now.
That might protect us, too. Like, it's really popular, very popular. I mean, even registered Democrats love this as 60 or 70 percent approval. And it's amazing. And Doug Ducey deserves credit for it. And a lot of people worked hard on it. Governor Ducey signed it into law, which I don't love everything that Ducey did, but he just had a little reality.
He did it, which is that when this got done, this completely obliterated the future union cartels strangled on the state. And so you literally could take your tax, your money, your tax dollars and go to any school that you want. The left believes that if you don't have the, like, first of all, the left believes they just have the right to abduct your kids for 10 hours a day to teach them whatever they want. And at the minimum, they believe they have the right to do it if you don't have, you know, the overflow of money to, like, buy your way out of it at huge costs. And this says, actually, the money to educate your kids can be controlled by you. And if you want to go to a public school by default, OK.
But if you want to take that money and go somewhere else, that's fine, too. They hate this idea. They go berserk at this idea.
It is one of the things that makes them the most mad. And what we find, actually, is the public schools are going down and their enrollment's going down 20 or 30 percent. And it makes sense because parents like, wait, why don't I just go to the Catholic school? Why don't I just go to Valley Christian?
Why don't I go to Great Hearts? And so, Kit, we need to make sure this is now the Democrat Party of Arizona will revoke school choice vouchers in Arizona. I think that when J.D. Vance and Donald Trump visit the state, they need to mention that. They need to remind the voters of the state that they're in support of the school choice program in Arizona. Thank you so much, Kit. And your daughter's working very hard, doing a great job.
All right. Who's next? We have more surprise guests, Daisy. All right, Myra, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind? Myra, how are you doing? Make sure you are here. Great. How are you?
Very well, thank you. Sorry, I'm chasing after my two year old. That's OK.
It's more important. I get it. I was doing that this morning as a mother of four to my youngest. I live in California. I wear my MAGA gear and I get all positive comments and then I ask them if they're registered to vote. They reply that they are. And then I remind them to vote early.
But other than that, what can I do? Oh, and my husband and I are going to Arizona on October 10th to commit 100. Wow. I mean, I'm just first of all, you're a mom of four chasing around a two year old wearing a MAGA hat, getting people to register to vote. And you're coming to Arizona to chase ballots. Myra, I want to meet you and your family. OK, so when you come here, I want to have you come and they're going on their wedding anniversary. And so so please come by the studio. We'll show you around the campus. Daisy will show you around.
OK, I want to meet you. Myra, I rarely ever say this, but you're doing basically enough. You're raising good kids. You're coming to Arizona.
And I want to understand, Myra and her husband are coming from California, Arizona during that period to go chase ballots and to go drive turnout in this election. So, Myra, I'm impressed by you. And you're a member to the Charlie Kirk show.
And I have a TV action app and I send out text messages and postcards. I'm curious, Myra, why do you care so much? And obviously, I love it. Like, were you raised this way? You have four kids. I'm always curious. Tell me about yourself, because that's you're you're you're extraordinary.
Well, I was born and raised in California. I'm the oldest of five. And because I was the oldest, I was I always had to help take care of the other kids. And I wasn't allowed to do sports and stuff like that in school because my mom was busy and needed me to be home. She was also very strict and Christian.
And they had their own business. And when I was in high school and early on in college, I would argue with my parents about politics. And I was a Democrat. I didn't become a Republican until I started having kids. But even before that, I don't know if it was my parents that instilled in us not to trust the government. But when I when I was dating, I didn't want to have kids. And it wasn't until I met my husband that I after being married for two years, I started to wonder what a kid would look like, you know, between us and him.
And then here we are four kids later, four kids. And you just you're fighting for the country. You're exceptional, Myra. And I wish more people in the country cared as much as you do that. That's an amazing story. It really is. You are you are the best of this country.
I want to meet you when you come here, Myra. All right. And we're going to win this thing with your help. And how old are your kids? Eleven, seven, six and two.
So you're 11, seven, six year old. We can get them all ballot chasing. We got we can put them to work so you could do it as a family affair.
So if you're bringing them. But God bless you, Myra. And we'll talk to you soon. Thank you. Thank you. I'll tell you that whenever you get down because of our leaders, we have great people in this country.
I just again, all human beings in this world are made in God's image. But there's something exceptional about the American spirit. There really is. I want to answer Scott's question here. It's a long question, so I'm not going to read all of it. But the essence is this.
Charlie, possible new believer here. Most important thing is giving your life to Christ. I would like some advice on how to dive into Christianity and get to know God and his word. Where do I start? Do I simply start with the Bible?
Also, I am hindered a bit with the attention span and being able to read for a long, continuous basis and wonder if an audio Bible would possibly be a good way to learn. Continues and says thank you for your time. Look to hear back from you.
OK, so a couple of things. Scott, first of all, I love that you want to know Jesus and make Jesus known. Yes, I listen to the Bible sometimes, especially when I'm traveling.
Had a long day. I just turn on the Bible app. There is a universal Bible app that I think is the most popular one. It's literally just called Bible in the App Store.
It has like hundreds of thousands of five star reviews. It is the best one. It's just called Bible. You guys can download the Bible app and listen to it. I encourage you to listen to the book of John. That is the best one to first study for new believers and alternate between John and Proverbs. John and Proverbs. John and Proverbs Psalms. John Proverbs Psalms. Psalms will come for you. Proverbs will direct you. And then John will lead you to Christ. Those are the three best for new believers. John Proverbs Psalms. And then the most important thing, Scott, is you have to find a good church. It's not enough just for you to do it yourself. Find a good local church.
And so, Scott, I don't know where you're from. So but try to find a good local church and use a discipline every day to listen or to read to the Bible. The Bible. Try your best to actually do what the Bible teaches you to do and live a godly life. Try to cleanse your life of non-biblical, non-Christian music or not just non-music, but music that might be that might dirty you up or might not glorify the beautiful or eternal things.
Music that talks about like licentious behavior. Yeah. You know, if your mom didn't like it when you were growing up, she probably had a point. Exactly. And Blake, can I say this? Oh, yeah, I'll say it. I was at I was at Adoration last night. It's a Catholic thing.
It's amazing. I love Adoration. Well, except you probably, you know, Protestants and your thoughts about the Eucharist.
But anyway, I was at Adoration last night. So I brought the Bible and I kind of this is a little bit of an idle thought. I was like, you know what, like, book I haven't read.
I'll just go like a big, meaty history book in the middle. And I opened Chronicles. That is a difficult book. That was a mistake to do for like idle Bible reading. Do you realize how long that thing spends on just the genealogy? If I remember it goes historical record of Adam and it goes right through. It basically opens with about 10 straight pages of like, and here is the descent of the line of Judah. But now here is the descent of the line of Reuben.
And here is Issachar. It's super it's not the best to read when you're in Adoration. But I'll say it really begs the fact that this is true.
If you're able to name all these names, that there is some veracity to that. Yeah. And of course, and then, you know, it does read it sort of is another narrative of the life of David and Solomon. Like that stuff's good, but I just I got a big kick when I was like, oh, they're going to go through every single tribe of Judah. So you really went for it.
Yeah, I would have just kind of, you know, I would have just skimmed. I mean, once you kind of get to Jacob and, you know, the 12 tribes, it's like, OK, we got it. So but take your faith seriously is my final piece of advice. Whatever that is and whatever you look at, you know, kind of what that means for you, prioritize it.
I hope you hope you give your life to the Lord. Let's go here. Hi, Charlie. Sorry, I can't unmute and speak for myself.
I am at work and it's very windy. My name is Cole and I'm a student at UNR, University of Nevada, Reno. Oh, we'll see him next week. We're super excited to have you this Tuesday. My question is, how can I better convince Christians that just because Trump is 100 percent in line with our Christian values, that we still need to vote for him? Again, I will go back to the 5000 people is that it's not about Trump. It's about the cabinet and the agencies that he will staff.
It's just for me, it's so simple. For example, if you're a Christian, you're probably pro-life. You should be. And it's like, OK, do you want the laws that we have already passed that are in place in Georgia, in the Dakotas, in Oklahoma, in Texas, in the Carolinas? Do you want those laws to survive? Because Kamala has said she will repeal the filibuster to get rid of them and make them illegal.
That's right. And Trump has said, I will keep those laws in place. And if you're going to throw that out because Trump's, you know, personal statements on abortion are not 100 percent in line with what you want. And we agree with that.
Like, yeah, we are. We are more pro-life than what we would like him to be. Yes, we are more pro-life than we wish that right.
It was exactly. We want the country to become more pro-life. I want this country's laws to be as pro-life as we can get.
Yes. And right now you have the choice between I will let pro-life laws survive and I will bring back Roe v. Wade nationwide abortion on demand until birth. And you're going to say, like, I won't vote for that. I won't vote to stop that. And there are so many other policy items that are just one thing. That's just one thing that our Christians should care about, such as a secure border and having a country and not going to war and just freedom and no men and women's sports and trans surgeries, religious liberty, having good justices. I will say one thing I'm pushing for Trump to do and he hasn't done it. Get those list of judges again.
Yeah, I thought that really helped them in 2016. Thanks so much for listening. Everybody email us as always freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Thanks so much for listening. God bless. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charlie Kirk dot com.
