So from what I understand, your question was advice on how to talk to liberals about issues they care most about. So the nonpolitical women, I would just ask questions. So, for example, when it comes to the abortion issue, just ask a very simple question. Is murder wrong?

Say yes, of course. They'll be like, oh yeah, I mean, murder's wrong. Okay. When does life begin? It's a very important question and they can't answer it. What is the being that is being aborted? Is it a giraffe? Is it a horse? Is it a zebra? They have not thought through any of these issues, just so we're clear, if they're non-political especially. And the abortion topic is the most morally clear topic there is because it is easy to evade the topic if you want to

basically convince yourself that it's okay to terminate a life that is smaller, less developed in a different environment and has some form of a degree of dependency. Let's go to Amanda. Amanda, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind?

Hi. So my husband and I, we're new parents and, you know, we're trying to navigate the world with an infant. So we're doing delayed vaccinations with the Dr. Sears method and are unsure if we want to continue because of growing concerns that vaccines cause more harm than good. So just curious on how you're handling vaccines.

with your family as we are seeing mixed messages on whether or not to fully vaccinate. Yeah, I'm not going to give you any medical advice. I will say, though, that our kids are not getting all of them. And beyond that, I'm not going to tell you anything with that.

that. But yeah, look, we are very hesitant. For example, from COVID to some of this other stuff is completely unnecessary for kids to get. Every parent has to make their own decision. We are big medical freedom advocates. We have an amazing pediatrician, Dr. Tiffany, that supports us and assists us when we make these decisions. There is no shaming. There's no intimidation. There is no pressure in any way, shape or form.

And I want to empower parents to say that it's OK to tell the pediatrician, no, I don't think this vaccine is the right decision for my kid. No, I'm not going to be bullied into giving six shots in one visit.

And so I encourage you to pray about it. And here's my other piece of advice, Amanda, which is find other parents who do not vaccinate their kids or at least do delayed vaccination and talk about it. Because there's there's the calculus that you should make when it comes to vaccination is number one. What am I vaccinating against?

So is it something that I'm super afraid of my kid getting? So I'll give you one example, which is I grew up and I got chicken pox when I grew up. I don't think it's the end of the world. I don't think it's a deal breaker. They now vaccinate against chicken pox. I don't think that it is worth the potential risk of an adverse event with a chicken pox vaccine. Now, you might have the risk of shingles later in life, but that's a risk that

I was willing to take growing up and the chickenpox vaccine is not even totally effective. So you have to first ask the question, what if my kid gets this particular disease or virus or bacterial infection and work your way backward from there? And also the COVID shot.

is another example. If you take the COVID shot, why are we giving 18 months old the COVID shot? So if you go through the entire vaccination schedule, it at the very least, we can agree too many shots given too quickly and with way too many potential adverse events. But so I would, I don't want to just empower you.

if you think you are making the right move, then trust your gut, trust your instinct. Never make decisions based out of fear and find other parents that might share your views. And where do you live, Amanda, by the way? I live in Phoenix, actually. Oh, great. Well, I can introduce you to our pediatrician if you want, because I think I'm going to actually research her. So it's Dr. Tiffany Zook. Actually, I think it's called Holistic Psych.

Something. Yeah. Daisy, can you email Amanda after this? And I'll send her the info. She's amazing. And she actually comes to your home, believe it or not, which is which is great. So you don't have to go to a pediatrician's office. And if you want to do all the vaccines, she'll support you. If you want to do none of the vaccines, she'll support you. It's all very transparent, very fact based and very empowering of parents' rights and decisions. So unlike these other pediatrician offices where literally they will say your kid is going to die if you do not take the shot, as I'm sure you've dealt with, Amanda.

So I got I got lucky with the pediatrician we're with now. She doesn't really pressure us at all. So that is one good thing. But, you know, I just wanted to hear it from your perspective. Thank you, Amanda. Thanks for being a member. OK, let's see. We have just the next Justin. Thank you for being a member. What's on your mind?

My name is Justin, you know, I'm just from the good old Constitution State. And, you know, I was just curious, you know, how you felt about Chris Murphy becoming the Secretary of State now, you know, after I've been seeing some posts, you know, about him wanting to do that. And I was just curious how you felt.

Yeah, well, I don't think that's confirmed yet. I'm not a Chris Murphy fan. Connecticut politics are not my favorite. And so the the I'll say as far as Chris Murphy becoming secretary of state, I certainly hope that doesn't happen. But in some ways, it actually be an upgrade from Tony Blinken right now. But thank you for being a member, man. And I haven't seen that report, but I look into it. Really appreciate it. Yes.

Yes, please look into it. It's if you look under Matt Corey, who's running against him in the Senate, you can find the article about that. So I will definitely look at it. In some ways, it's really hard to imagine an administration worse than Joe Biden. But Kamala is very aspirational. I think she's going to try to do worse. I really do. Lori, this will be our last question of this segment. Members dot Charlie Kirk dot com. Lori, what's on your mind?

Hi, Charlie. Thanks for having me on. I just wanted to get your take on the judge that's going to be sentencing President Trump next month. I kind of thought that had been pushed past the election, but

Do you think he's going to go to jail? I don't think if you talked about it, I must have missed it. We haven't talked about it. Thank you for being a member. And you are a super fan if you know that we haven't talked about it because that is impressive. You are spot on, Lori. In fact, I'm making a note right now that we need to do that. This is the quiet issue that no one's talking about. Is it September 11th? Is that right, Lori? I think it's September 11th. They have it.

September 13th. It's right around there where I met September. Yeah, sure. Trump is going to have to be sentenced for this ridiculous fraud trial. Now, mind you, there is a looming appeal that might throw out the entire conviction because the prosecution used some official acts that Donald Trump did as president. And now the Supreme Court, based on the June ruling, says that those acts should be granted with presidential immunity.

So not really clear of what that is going, how that's going to materialize or what that means. But we'll see what happens there. As far as the sentencing, I'm very worried about this. I'm worried that if the polls show Donald Trump with an advantage and Donald Trump doing well, it very well might be or might result in them sending Donald Trump to prison.

I'm very concerned about it, Lori. You're astute to observe that and to mention that. And we need to do a show on that as we grow closer to it. Lori, thank you so much for being a member. God bless you. Thank you. Thanks, Charlie.

Okay, continuing with us is two of my favorite people who I think are going to the Oregon-Michigan game based on an email I got this morning. Go Ducks. I will be there. Caleb and Michelle. Caleb, Michelle, thanks for being a member as always. What's on your mind? Hi, Charlie. Yeah, we're definitely planning on making that trip. I hope it worked out. So here's the question. It seems that the deep state worked together to remove Biden because they're worried about losing power. And

that the senators running for reelection were worried about him being at the top of the ticket and they're going to lose that. Do you think that they put up Kamala as a sacrificial lamb and they're willing to lose the presidential as long as they hold power in the Senate? It's hard to say. I don't

I don't think so. I think that maybe at the very least they were throwing Kamala out there to limit the loss on the Senate side, which she appears to at least to have done. I don't think it's a sacrificial lamb. They never want to punt on an election, but I think that they know that it's a difficult election for them given the terrain and that because of that terrain, because of the terrain of the economy and inflation and immigration, they

that Kamala Harris, at the very least, will help down ticket candidates by consolidating the Democrat base far more than what they did under Joe Biden. So I don't think it's a throwaway. However, I think they know that it's going to be a tough lift for them. It's a tough campaign for both sides, but I don't think by any means they're going to have a cakewalk.

OK. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks, guys. All right. I hope to see you soon. By the way, President Trump has announced that potentially there will be a debate on September 4th with Fox News. ABC was September 10th and NBC September 25th. We have to see if Kamala agrees. And I hope, fingers crossed, that we get a town hall debate. I hope we get it.

I hope all of them are town hall debates for whatever it's worth. With audiences. The two camps are debating over the debates. Dylan, thanks for being a member. Dylan, what's on your mind? Hey, Charlie. Can you hear me? Yes, and I just want to compliment all of you. You guys are unmuting yourselves beautifully. So keep doing it. All right, perfect.

Charlie, I'm wondering if you, based on either your private connections with the Trump campaign or otherwise, get the sense that Trump appreciates how vulnerable he is in light of the Secret Service shortcomings that have been well publicized.

It's a good question. I'm not sure. I think that there's a fair amount of skepticism in his campaign. And I think there's a there's been chatter about hiring and augmenting his current secret service with private security. So we will see. And we'll see. We'll see if he ends up adding and layering that security on top of it.

I think that anybody near Trump right now knows that he's not completely safe with the U.S. Secret Service. I certainly feel that way. I certainly feel that way. And I do as well. Thank you. Yeah, the more we learn about what happened at a Butler, Pennsylvania...

Boy, the harder and harder it is to believe that this was just, I hope it was just negligence. Let's just put it that way. All right, Dennis, you're the final question of this segment. What's on your mind? Members.CharlieKirk.com. Okay, he wants to know about Mayorkas and Garland impeachments, both of which are show votes and will not result in the removal. Alejandro Mayorkas, who is the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and Garland, who is in charge of DOJ. The question is, why aren't we revisiting it? Even revisiting it,

doesn't mean the Senate will just acquit and the Senate will just throw it out. So it's largely a waste of time. The most important thing we could do to fire Mayorkas and Garland is to win in November. That is the most important thing that we can do to get rid of those those terrible people that are currently running our country right now and running the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. President Trump announces that

He's spoken to the head of the networks regarding details, and there's some things that need to be agreed upon, such as audience and which city they'll be in. And he says he believes that those are all things that will be settled easily, just waiting on the other side to agree. Potentially a Fox News debate on September 4th, ABC News debate on September 10th, NBC News debate on September...

September 25th. I certainly hope that we get some form of a town hall debate. I hope so. And Kamala Harris has yet to respond to those three debate offers, those three dates, September 4th, September 10th, and September 25th. Cole, who is a member, make sure you unmute. Cole, what is on your mind? Thanks for being a member. Hi. So I'm a 24-year-old male and I'm

I've noticed that a lot of the women that I know my age, maybe just in my area, but aren't interested in serious relationships. I think they've been pushed actively by culture away from it through education and the news.

in the push for women to be in positions of power, largely, and explore in their 20s, and that men my age because of this are often feeling tired of attempting these serious relationships with the majority of women who are uninterested, considering that

I believe marriage and children is called for by God and makes you a better person. How as a country can we push for societal change regarding the age of marriage and family building when it's been consistently pushed older over time? What a beautiful question. So first, where do you live, Cole?

I'm in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Yeah, I think this is a nationwide problem. You said it really beautifully. Can you say it again that young women pursue power in their 20s? Is that right? You said something of that? Yeah, just about. Is that I think through education in the media, they have been told, especially in their 20s, that this is your time to explore. This is your time to advance your career, go to school, whatever.

become great, powerful women in positions of power, which is fine for some women. But I found that most of my peers are unhappy being, you know, middle 20s now and having followed what they've been told has been the path towards success. And in the past and throughout history, instead, the by a majority basis has been pushed towards building relationship in a family.

Yes. So you're exactly right. So women are more social. They worry more about what other people think of them and not breaking norms. And this is good when the norms are good. But when the norms are corrupted, watch out.

And that is part of what we're living through. And so just to recall, move to Arizona and just hang around Turning Point USA. There are a lot of single Christian women in their 20s. And they say, I can't find good men. I can't find good men. And I think it's a little bit of both. I blame the men and the women for men.

Maybe you're not, let's put this nicely, maybe you're not impressive enough so women just kind of shrug their shoulders. Maybe you don't work hard enough, you drink too much alcohol. I'm not you, Cole, but I'm just saying generally that women will all of a sudden kind of put their career aside if they find a man impressive enough.

enough. Secondly, women, if young ladies are willing to say, you know what, maybe career is not the most important thing. And every young woman needs to answer the question. If I could only have one great career or great family, which one would it be? And young ladies will say great career a lot. And now you can have both. Obviously, they both can simultaneously exist.

However, sometimes you forsake one for the other and you end up in your early 30s and you say, where have all the men gone? And that plays into what J.D. Vance was saying correctly, which is that creates a massive civilizational problem. So, Cole, I just want to ask a question. Would you say that most young ladies, they just are not interested in men at all or that they just want to have a good time and that's why they're so into men?

kind of abortion and that kind of, I'm just, what, what are you seeing? If a young woman is found a serious partner, does she just not interested until she hits 30? Is that what you're saying? Well, first off, uh, thank you. I'd love to move to Arizona. I am recently married, so not speaking about me personally, but, um, yeah, I think, I think it's twofold. I think women will, if they meet the right guy. I just think that,

the opinions that they hold starting these relationships is that they're serious and through peers or society or whatever else are abandoning them. And that largely men are realizing around my age that, you know, they don't have a biological clock, one, and two, that their ability to attract women is somewhat based in modern society around their income.

And that will increase over time. So I know that the men my age are thinking, why am I going to sift through and put so much effort into finding a good woman now when I could find a better one later? And women are thinking the exact same thing. But most of them I talk to my age are wanting, you know, two to four kids, right?

And want to be dating for about four years and engaged for one or two and are running out of time on that clock for what they really think is important. Well, first, you really thought this through, and I think you're exactly right. And the honest truth is that it should be the opposite, which is that young women should get married early.

and then they could pursue the career once their kids are raised. And that's just not an opinion. It's just the way that God designed biology, that would make more sense. Instead of what we do the opposite, you put the career on the front end and the family on the back end. It should be family on the front end, career on the back end. Thank you, Cole, very much.

Did you know that roughly half of the global population has access to reliable electricity? Rockefeller Foundation labels them energy poor. But just because they have unreliable access to electricity doesn't mean that they wish to stay energy poor. And that's because of fossil fuels. Those populations are lifting themselves out of poverty. That's right, from irrigation...

to cultivation and transportation, food production is at an all-time high, and purification and pumping systems are delivering the world's cleanest water. So much so that 3.6 billion people considered energy poor are beginning to flourish, even as Kamala Harris and AOC wish to drive them back to the Stone Ages and miserable poverty with the Green New Deal.

I'm Charlie Kirk, and I just want you to know the facts. Go to oilfacts.com and get educated today on these critical facts and the need for American energy and what we can do to keep billions from catastrophic deaths from happening. These facts are irrefutable. Go to oilfacts.com. That is oilfacts.com. These facts are brought to you by the Prairie Operating Group, dedicated to safe and responsible production of American energy. Let's take the next question here. What do we have?

Teresa. Teresa, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind? Oh, yeah. Hi, Charlie. I was just asking about President Trump listening to his bit of his press conference here. A lot of us are really concerned about the negative comments and negative campaigning when we if he just posted or stayed on policy and just focused on that. We really feel like he'd have a better chance of getting the independent voter vote.

So he could be too big to rig. I'm just wondering if you guys have any influence on the Trump campaign to help with this. Not too much. And so I agree with you generally, Teresa. Now, I'm curious, do you think it's OK if he criticizes Kamala's ideas?

if he were to say that her ideas are wrong? Because some people, everyone has different opinions on this. And I'm curious, I don't know where I fall on it. Some people say that Trump is being too negative. Some people say that Trump needs to attack her more. Where would you fall on that? What would the perfect balance be? I think just staying on policy or even if he's criticizing her opinions, but not her as a human being. Okay, so you think it's not helpful to say that she's a liar or a fake person

I'm not saying this turns a lot of I think it personally turns a lot of people off, Charlie, and that's concerning to me. And I don't think it's necessary. I think there's enough differences in in the policies that he could get independent on the fence type voters by being the softer, gentler Trump that we saw at the Believer Summit and at the RNC.

Very smart. Teresa, thank you. I don't know how much influence I'll have pushing that, but your wisdom is appreciated. Thank you. Let's go to Nate. Hey there. Hey, Nate, how you doing? Doing well yourself. Good. Hey, so first of all, Charlie, thank you very much for everything you do, your message and everything. Listening to you and Candice is just getting so much guidance and everything in this very powerful movement that we need to have. So thank you guys for all that.

Just questions I have is regarding day-to-day taxes, increased inflation and everything.

You know, at what point do we tell the government, hey, we're no longer being represented with the taxes in which we're paying? And going back to my comment about the whole Boston Tea Party, like, isn't that what we did to Great Britain? Telling them that, hey, we're being taxed for absolutely no reason. You're not you're no longer representing who we are and what we're trying to stand for here. And then additionally, I just have questions about homeschooling and just homeschooling.

Finding ways to make that cheaper, more incentivized instead of the government telling us like, hey, if you want to try to homeschool, you got to pay like $10,000 a year to do it. But if you take them to a public school, it's only like $2,000, $3,000 in taxes. So just questions about that. Really smart question. And thank you for being a member. Yes. So our taxes are not being consistent with our values. What you're talking about is a breakdown of the social contract.

And when the social contract breaks down, bad things really start to occur. I'm not saying stop paying taxes. I'm not even I'm not saying any of that or inferring it. But we are on dangerous territory and very shaky ground. If the government continues to spend our tax dollars that they take by force, that they confiscate from us, it's confiscatory and deploy it towards projects that are directly at odds with our values and the American people.

And as far what was the second part of your question about homeschooling, making sure that it's more affordable and incentivized as opposed to government guidance? Yeah, it's hard because every time that it is incentivized, it usually comes with strings. I think that every family in the country, if you can afford it, should homeschool your kids. And even if you can't afford it, try to stretch and try to make it happen. It is one of the most important things that you can do to keep your kids.

children out of the hands of government groomers. Who do we have next, Miss Daisy? Lonnie.

Lonnie, thank you for being a member. What's on your mind? Do you guys think that Democrats will be able to rig the election again? No, not if we have anything to say about it. We're starting to clean up voting rolls. We are chasing ballots, registering voters. They're going to try, but we're going to hopefully make it too big to rig. And anyone who says, oh, it's going to be rigged no matter what, I'm not saying you're saying this, Lonnie, but anyone who says that I think is engaging in a cultural defeatism and cynicism. So not if we have anything to say about it.

Ernie. Awesome, thanks. You bet. Ernie, what a great name. Ernie, thanks for being a member. What's on your mind? Hi, Charlie. Can you hear me? Yes, how are you? I'm doing well. At least my computer didn't crash this week. Well, that's good. Hey, have you ever read the book Love and Duty by Ben and Ann Purcell? I have not. Tell me about it. Okay. Back in...

Like 98 or 99, I had the pleasure of meeting this guy when I was stationed at the Air Force Survival School. And he was the highest ranking Army POW during Vietnam War. And the book is kind of written like a diary that goes back and forth. One chapter is him, next chapter is his wife, the next chapter is him, and so on.

And they describe how they basically both stare at the devil in the eyes, him in a physical capacity, her in an emotional capacity. And the only reason they got through that was because of faith. They had faith in God. They had faith in their country and faith in each other. And I highly suggest. I will check it out. It's called Love and Duty.

Love and Duty by Ben and Anne Purcell. It's real easy reading and it's still available online.

They haven't memory hold it yet. God bless you, Ernie. Thanks for being a member. Call anytime. Thank you. Thank you. Members that Charlie Kirk dot com. OK, who do we have to close out here? Oh, let's go to the written ones that people that weren't able to unmute. Got it. Lee quote. Charlie, do you feel that Kamala Harris is leaning more socialists with the way she wants to tax the corporations and businesses more when that falls back on a consumer's? So in reality, she's hurting the class. Yes. Kamala Harris is a communist.

And she is strictly interested in wealth confiscation and middle class deterioration. And so Kamala Harris would basically be a communist death blow to the United States of America.

Sandra, please advise us as the best use of time in Illinois. Door to door, I'm a precinct committee woman in Springfield, Illinois. The best thing you can do in central Illinois is focus on your House of Representatives seats. That is by far the best use of time, the best use of energy, because unfortunately Donald Trump is not going to win Illinois. Okay, um...

Let me see here. Do we have other questions? Oh, yeah. Daisy sent them. Sorry. Let's go to Candace. Charlie, I can't join the call today. I want to submit my question in case you had time. I want to know how big of a deal. I want to know how big of a deal the stolen valor thing is. Could Walsh theoretically serve prison time? Why would Kamala chosen him then? Do they not check? Well, it's interesting. Eric Holder, who was the former attorney general under Barack Hussein Obama, was in charge of all the vetting. I don't know if they missed. I don't think they missed it, but they saw it. They didn't think it was a big deal. It is a big deal. Very, very, very unlikely that Kamala

He serves prison time. Very unlikely, but it's possible. But it seems as if they did not do their vetting. Joni says, Charlie, I'm very concerned about Gen Z vote. How much of an effect do you think this will have on the presidential election? I pray for you and my grandkids daily. Look, the Gen Z vote is going to go to Kamala in pretty substantial numbers. But I think we're going to lose by less. I think Donald Trump will do better with the Gen Z vote than we did in 2020. That is why I am visiting Kamala.
