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 USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. 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 halftime 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 was just absolutely amazing. So I want to read it. This just went on in the press release that just hit the wires 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. We're in a dress and singing in Spanish. Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America. Tell us. 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, you're competing with this, you know, just powerhouse machine called the NFL, you know, and a certain way you're competing with it. And 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. 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's 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 in hearing all their political this and that and trying to, you know,

shove 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 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 Half Time show. So for those, you know what's what was great about this, by the way. We kind of seen some of the behind the scenes here. And originally we listed all the artists in the press release. And you know, this, this really Grammy, we just hit the Grammys in hour one, which is ironic. But the, you know, because they're all anti ice or whatever. But it's 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. So, so we said global superstar in 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 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 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 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, you know, I, you could say what you want us to have to comp the other guys and the, you know, that other guy. But I just think that what we're offering is so unique. And you're going to, you are the perfect person for this. I couldn't, I couldn't be more excited. You know, you go into these things, you know, there's, I'm very good friends with Lee Bryce with Bradley Gilbert. It's a good friend. I do not know Gabby. I love, I love her music. 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 after 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. You know, it was so happy for me just to hear that. To know that, 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 in love this country. It's that simple. That's, 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. I kind of had some people here. So we're talking in between, but it was on the background. I was like, 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. You're like, wow, man. This is terrible. Hold on. I couldn't, I mean, honestly, it feels like you can't even imagine what media they're consuming, what lies their listed to their anti ice, their anti-lown enforcement that, you know,

and that they, you could feel this like this virtue signaling just 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 literally feels like I read this book and it was this doctor and she's kind of explaining the generation and like going through mental illness 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. Everything's wrong. What was me? Everything's bad. You kind of feel left out of this elite, you know, Hollywood elite group. It's just it's just sad to see some of these people. I mean, look at that poor Billy. I was going to like just look at her like she looks like literally sad. That's unhappy with everything in life. I'm like, that's got to be horrible. I know you want to look into. You might want to look into Jesus girl. That's exactly right. Well, and speaking of which we're 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.

There's 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 you're turning point YouTube X rumble. Of course. We'll probably throw it up on on some other social media accounts that we can't that we control daily wire plus TBN right here in real America's voice is going to be covering it. We love the guys over real America's voice. So thank you Parker and Rob for covering that OAN and TD and then it's going to be on Sinclair as well. So that lots of places you can check it out. You can see it on the graphic there. But if you're if you're watching the big game. And you don't want to be fed a bunch of woke garbage or worry that the guys going to come out and address or celebrate like the queer agenda. You just want something that the family can enjoy that but it's going to be excellent and like high octane entertainment. That's what we need to do. This is where you can go. Absolutely, man. And God bless you guys putting this together when I first heard you know you guys just kind of announced it and said at turning points you're doing all turn half time like. Oh yeah, right on somebody. 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 they were very tight lift about the organization of this.

I will say. But we want to just to 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 and impression of what they're about to hear. Let's play 300. And usually we do a couple of other songs but tonight I would like to play a song. Dedicated to Charlie Kirk. What he. He's so adamantly stood for you know. I don't want to see a picture of this country without God in it you know and. And it seems like every day is trying harder and harder to do that and I. But I got faith today don't go that way. And the song you ended up playing was a kingdom come 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 worship set or anything.

But I just I know that's important to you as well. And are you planning on integrating any any of that to your set. Now 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 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 there's nothing you know that we can do that I can do and I trust me I'm going to come out and hit him 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 that's the win right there and of course I mean there's an aspect of. There's a very aspect of faith in this 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 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. Well you know at funny enough we're going to release the song that I'm going to perform for the cherry 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 of things maybe 10 or so. 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 fireworks off place music folks so.

Well I'm telling you telling the music on the way that's very very cool special guest I think people are going to be widely wildly happy and surprised at the same time I love that so everybody you have a mission you need to tune into the all American halftime show. You know when the other guys are doing their their sort of queer celebration whatever speak in Spanish whatever you want to do that's fine.

Oh all right never mind I guess we're we're rescheduling him. So we have a big announcement to make but apparently we're not going to do it I don't know I guess he is coming. Okay well it's constant adventure here. I did not tell him to reschedule I told him we had Kid Rock for a segment and then we were going to bring Nick coca at 30 seconds we're going to have him in. Please send us your emails at freedom at Charlie Cook dot com let us know how you plan on watching the All American Half Time show. Are you going to be tuning in YouTube right here real America's voice rumble how you want. Roger one of our enduring friends of the show emails us all the time sent us blushing smile emoji prayer emoji thumbs up emoji heart emoji. I think that's a good one. I love it I think that's listen I will tell you the number one person that we got emails asking that would be on the show. Come on in Nick. The number one person we got requested was Kid Rock. So we were like I mean we have to go with Kid Rock we have to. Nick I'm sorry about the confusion. I was quite all right I'm happy to be here.

Go again. We have so we just announced the All American Half Time show and we have another major announcement 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 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 G and four days 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. So we're going to do a big big like kind of event announcing this more formally with the governor in much so you're fine up to Montana.

I am. You got a trip to Montana is 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 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 many more states that are going to join the club America. So do you hear this this is this is this is major so on the same day that we cover on the 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 help 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 are we're closing on like 4,000 high school chapters were I mean we're still sorting through this day loose of inquiries that came in after Charlie's assassination.

Tell give us an update on that. Yeah so we have over 3200 called America chapters nationwide and really what these states are doing is essentially standing behind our students. And they're 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 quite so important and maybe just give the audience at home because we got actually a couple of questions about this in our AMM 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 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 your 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 red you have host speakers you do community things. 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 your students get invited to the national events you get you get potential grants to host speakers at your local community maybe on campus or off campus right. There's all kinds of options that 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 you know but but we run into all the problems it's club America that is often you know gets gets challenge that's why these are so important to have states. Governor GM 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 to you're doing great work Nick thank you. Thank you. Thanks for having me lots of big announcements the all American halftime show is been announced the details have been announced. We have a massive massive powerhouse of a lineup you can check out more at American halftime show dot com American halftime show dot 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 you 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 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 America side another statewide partnership this one in Montana with Governor GM Forte massive massive Blake throwing it to you.

Alrighty yeah we've got a friend of mine I used to know way back when I was at the daily call area which was a decade ago at this point. But Luke Rosiac and he's now a reporter an illustrator 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 this is the legend he helped blow up in the loud and down this story. Yeah so I know of Luke because the loud and county story which was obviously you you delivered a governorship with that one Luke it was it was a huge huge story. I mean I still use them you're a series you did more than a 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 8 a program a lot of the ways the government does extremely inefficient or wasteful or discriminatory contracting waste 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 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 dollars Luke how about you tell this story for our audience. Sure so 8 a contracting I'm so glad you guys have been talking about it a lot it gives no big contracts if you're a women owned or an already 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 actually a pretty decent band and she was just like living in her van going on tour with her bandmate who was also her her wife I guess and so they decided to incorporate a company and they got that SBA designation to be a minority disadvantaged business. I mean 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 know you could be a descendant of Christopher Columbus and you'd be a Hispanic victim under the 8 a program in 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.

So she had her sexuality coming to 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 for new balance clothes so there's really only one place you can buy them is a new balance but because the government wants to get the small business and the set of sides and the minority set of sides they'll oftentimes do these contracts where the government is basically and this is what I testified to the Senate about 8 a last month and so I tried to say it's not all about individual scam in 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 through new balance or pay new balance for a license and then wind up sewing it themselves and creating some weird new balanced knockoffs. But anyway this woman didn't have the ability to 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 I you know I can do it for you. So he he 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 foyer 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. So 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 path through scheme out in black and white which usually a 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. 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 her pawns her tokens. Well 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 ever got prosecuted or sued by the government for this correct.

I mean it was only her own incompetence that causes it to collapse the contract actually had a ceiling of 72 million dollars 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 to war like and it's like well lady you're the one who got 19 million dollars from the department of war and I think they kind of want war like energy there and. You 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 close like training uniforms at the Marine War 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 making some of this stuff and that's kind of one of the real perils of a day. Yeah it's so it was I want to get this quote because it's in the article that she 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 war like and long overdue for reduction and yeah it's we have these program it's such it's just such 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 mine.

I got to these minority disadvantaged firms and yet it's the exact it's really just your pain 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 and well and it's you think about we we started translating how much money is getting wasted in terms of how many lifetimes of average Americans taxes. Taxes that you know that we're being just wasted on complete garbage like this so it's just you imagine how many Americans had to pay taxes last year or 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 slavery or something like you think what what let's just say that that was that was a hundred tax you know your receipts for Americans. So a hundred people paid their taxes last year so that this burn out in a van who used to be in a band could could do a pastor 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 were the ones getting defrauded with this it's infuriating.

Hi folks Andrew Colvet 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 if you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt take my advice and give them a call maybe you're behind on your payments maybe you're even in default you don't have to live in this nightmare anymore.

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.

Or 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 USA. 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 and DC 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 the 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. They were 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 the general counsel that hired actually 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 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 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 form of federal employee who moved over to Africa and he was still friends with the guy at this agency. So he gave him a contract and some of it went back to him and then the rest was used just kind of to keep to a richest friend and then also to pay bills including bureaucrats who were living in DC would get this random like wire of money coming from Africa. So the foreign aid was just what it is pastries 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 this is people like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and stuff like that.

And so USA it is gone this agency is way more corrupt 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 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 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 fraud-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 eight a which the the the Alaskan Republican senators are against that because the Eskimos are in on the grifter the people that pretend to me as Eskimos I don't know what we're doing here. Yeah Luke Rosiac 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 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 and George W. Bush's administration did not end well He had record low approval ratings by the time he was leaving other than like 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 gonna be our nominee in 2016 and What happened over and over again is he just he was not a droid 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's might win the presidency after that. Yeah, it is please clap day This is this is the police clap day was a turning point in American history Pun intended very 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 You know two wars that lasted on and on and on cost trillions of dollars countless American lives countless Iraqi lives and Afghani lives I mean, these are these is a really important moment in history So please take it away shows the clip Blake Alrighty 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 has 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 blowhard Talking a big 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 Jeff low energy Joe low energy Joe and you know it's ironic watching it back just real quick a week later On the ninth 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 it basically and that was the first primary he won

He won a bunch of them after that and the rest is history what a history 10 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 We have we have staffers on this show who are young enough that like they only faintly remember Barack Obama getting elected which is really uncomfortable for me because I voted in that election Yeah, no, I totally agree. Yeah, the That's a wild stat, you know, 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 SNL clip. It was going viral because he's a white guy and it goes and the SNL guy There's 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 and it was like yeah He's like 2006 and that was the first thought I had I was like he was not born

When he is no memory wasn't even alive when 9-11 happened Yeah, that's that's really Gen Z that's actually the most the easiest way to remember what Gen Z is is they don't remember 9-11 Sure, it's like 1998 if you're three you still don't really remember those things of a thousand percent It's just yeah, it's it's wow anyways, so this is uh It's been a big day here. It's been a big 10 years for the country And there's no doom orism allowed on the Charlie Kirk show.
