00:00:45.000If you want more young people to hear this message, which you will hear in this episode, is making a difference, go to charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:52.000That's charliekirk.com slash support and get involved with Turning Point USA, our educational project to teach young people American values at tpusa.com.
00:01:15.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:23.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:08.000Well, so we got a lot of questions about DeSantis or Trump.
00:03:11.000We got very few questions, if at all, about redistricting.
00:03:15.000Now, Tyler Boyer, who we work with on a lot of different things, obviously at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, he's been warning about this.
00:03:22.000He's the RNC committeeman for Arizona.
00:03:25.000And he's been probably the leading voice in the RNC of trying to tell people that redistricting is not going well.
00:03:36.000Well, every 10 years, there is a census done.
00:03:39.000Now, one of the reasons why the left wants open borders is not just because they want illegals to vote, but what is one way that they're able to give them the power of a vote without actually giving them a vote?
00:03:57.000One of the ways is by counting them in the census.
00:04:01.000So if you have a census where illegals are counted, but they're not able to vote, they still get the representation in what would then be a Democrat district.
00:04:13.000And so open borders is not just about them actually putting forward ballots, but they get representation.
00:04:20.000In fact, Democrats are able to increase their power that way by increasing the population supply.
00:04:47.000The fact that we count foreign nationals in our tabulation of citizens is one of the most backwards, one of the most inexplicable things our government does.
00:05:22.000And that's a fight that we have to pick up.
00:05:25.000So census data comes out, and then every 10 years, the Constitution mandates that the states meet to reassess their maps, their congressional maps.
00:05:56.000Now, what happens is that especially in recent decades, Democrat states first started to realize, hey, we can start to draw these congressional maps to heavily favor our ambitions in Washington, D.C.
00:06:08.000Now, full disclosure, Republicans responded in kind.
00:06:12.000Now, this is a practice called gerrymandering.
00:06:16.000Gerrymandering is the changing and the moving of districts specifically for a political output and purpose.
00:07:20.000You'll start to see in November that in a wave year, the maps don't mean as much.
00:07:23.000But let's say in 2026, when Democrats might have some momentum, if they ever get momentum back, if we don't execute a political extinction event, maps matter a lot.
00:07:35.000And so it really kind of came down to one final state that was going to determine whether or not Republicans were going to have fair maps nationwide if you kind of count everything being equal.
00:07:49.000And Ron DeSantis was pressured and he was given an incredible amount of, let's say, arm-ringing and a remarkable amount of intimidation.
00:08:03.000That's the word I'm looking for, to sign the Democrat-heavy maps in Florida.
00:08:13.000Ron DeSantis said, I will veto maps that include some of these unconstitutional districts.
00:08:19.000And now the new map for Ron DeSantis, from Ron DeSantis and Florida is out, which is just another example of the heroism and the courage and the capacity for leadership that Ron DeSantis has.
00:08:33.000It is a 20 to 8 Trump over Biden map, including very favorable districts in Pinellas County and otherwise.
00:09:00.000I'm not going to go play to some abstract ideal of fairness while New York and California is highway robbing the country with congressional maps.
00:09:09.000If they're going to do that, then we're going to play in kind.
00:09:12.000We've got to neutralize the playing field.
00:09:15.000And I love these Republican columnists that write out, these people that write these op-eds for a living and do nothing useful in their life.
00:09:22.000They say, Ron DeSantis is engaging in the very same type of behavior that we hate from Democrats.
00:09:48.000The Cook political report said the 20 Republican, 8 Democrat Florida map passes, and if it withstands court challenges, it could get Republicans four additional seats, entirely wiping out Democrats' national redistricting gains across the country, according to Dave Wasserman.
00:10:09.000He says, look, if the governors of Texas, the governor of Ohio, now the Texas maps were okay, they weren't great.
00:10:16.000If the governor of Ohio, the governor of North Carolina, they're not going to have the backbone as Republican governors to put forward good maps, then I am going to fix the problem and overcompensate in the beautiful state of Florida.
00:11:18.000I was seeing how much I was spending on my cell phone bill, how much Turning Point USA was spending on our cell phone bill.
00:11:23.000I said, I'm so sick and tired of giving these anti-American cell phone companies my hard-earned money and our amazing donor money at Turning Point USA.
00:11:31.000So I told my team, I said, go find the cell phone company that shares our values.
00:12:07.000So, Patriot Mobile, they have plans to fit every budget.
00:12:10.000And their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:12:15.000Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
00:12:38.000Well, a good way to start is, you know, make your cell phone bill, whatever.
00:12:42.000If you see it on your cell phone statement, you get your cell phone statement.
00:12:45.000You might as well just say, oh, that money's going to the DNC or that money's going to Christian conservative organizations or company like Patriot Mobile.
00:12:53.000So, you get a free activation with the offer code Charlie.
00:12:56.000They also have special discounts for veterans and first responder heroes.
00:13:00.000It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:13:04.000Join me on the Charlie Kirk show in our change to Patriot Mobile and forgetting all these woke, awful, terrible cell phone companies.
00:13:11.000Portions of this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, are brought to you in part by Patriot Mobile.
00:13:35.000Basically, it's just a long email from Sal from Oklahoma.
00:13:40.000Tell us more about what you learned there.
00:13:42.000So, spoke at UC Berkeley, and the more interesting part of my time at Berkeley was not even the speech at Berkeley, which was fine, despite some smart Alec people that call themselves satirists that just wanted to try to troll.
00:13:55.000I'll first just say this about Berkeley: what a dark city.
00:13:59.000And I don't mean just like the sun was shining, but spiritual darkness and just the principality of that entire oppression is just so prevalent over Berkeley.
00:14:13.000I just feel it every single time I go to Berkeley.
00:14:18.000When I tried to speak, there were literally kids that were coming and just knocking on windows like the walking dead.
00:14:24.000But the more interesting part of my time there was the two hours I spent on campus speaking to left-wingers and activists uninterrupted, two hours.
00:14:34.000We're going to be releasing some of that footage.
00:14:36.000In fact, we're still contemplating whether or not what parts we might include and not include.
00:14:41.000The only ones we might not include are just kind of the stuff that my kit kicked us off, get off YouTube and Facebook.
00:14:47.000Just kind of vaccine stuff and all that, which was a topic.
00:14:51.000But kind of looking at the perspective of people at Berkeley, years prior at Berkeley, there was almost like a utopian undertone at Berkeley, if you will.
00:15:33.000Now, the great Joe Bob, who works for us at Turning Point USA, he went undercover at Berkeley and he decided to ask some people some questions.
00:16:09.000It's kind of hard to tell with all the background noise, but the girl is like, can you believe Charlie Kirk tweeted out that Kamala Harris was picked because of affirmative action?
00:16:18.000Whoa, it's like, yeah, of course she was.
00:16:21.000I mean, Biden openly said that he was going to choose a vice president based solely on characteristics that can't be changed.
00:17:00.000There were a couple people that were being jerks, obviously, a couple people that were just trying to, you know, not respect the entire deal.
00:17:07.000But generally, it kind of got to a place the last, I'd say, hour to 45 minutes, there was like the same group of 10 kids.
00:17:28.000And one of the young ladies had one of the great quotes, and I can't wait to just re-watch this.
00:17:34.000She said, after listening to me, after listening to me for an hour, she said, I could predict what you're going to say before you're going to say it.
00:17:51.000I believe in certain principles that are applicable over time and space.
00:17:55.000She said, well, that's not the way to live life.
00:17:58.000She said that you need to be able to have nuance and you need to be able to, you know, I said, well, look, there might be exceptions to rules, but rules are there for a reason.
00:18:28.000Like, I could predict what you're going to say before you say it.
00:18:30.000Like, I consider that to be a great compliment.
00:18:32.000That means I'm consistent and that I am anchored in things that are true and that will always be true.
00:18:42.000Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
00:18:46.000Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
00:18:52.000Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
00:18:56.000One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
00:19:01.000Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
00:19:24.000PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
00:19:28.000So if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.
00:19:45.000So you just take out your phone, text the number 74-868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX biblical responsible investing, biblical, responsible investing strategy.
00:19:57.000Take out your phone, text Charlie to 74-868.
00:20:02.000They're about to manage some money for me.
00:20:04.000I really think highly of PAX Financial.
00:20:21.000Pizza Hut teaches America, kids, America is built on slavery and genocide.
00:20:27.000A fast food chain claims that America was founded on genocide from frontpagemag.com.
00:20:40.000Pizza Hut, unsatisfied with making kids fat, also wants to make them racist.
00:20:45.000They have an empowering educated tool box presented by the Pizza Hut Foundation, urging teachers to tell students that everyone is defined by race, that everyone has racial identity, and that race defines American life.
00:21:00.000They say race defines American life according to Pizza Hut.
00:21:04.000They say here, quote, America is a country built on a foundation of slavery, genocide, and white supremacy.
00:21:10.000A pamphlet for teachers stamped by the Pizza Hut logo declares.
00:21:16.000They say, this is so well written by Front Page Magazine.
00:21:19.000They say this, they say, challenging Conversation says that police force, quote, is the sixth leading cause of death for black men.
00:21:27.000Now, of course, they don't talk about how black men are getting killed by police because they're committing crimes, and a lot of that is done in self-defense.
00:21:36.000But actually, his front page magazine comes back beautifully.
00:21:42.000But it's understandable that Pizza Hut, which makes millions of dollars giving black men heart disease, strokes, and diabetes, wants to blame the cops who are the only people keeping underpaid employees of their struggling franchises alive.
00:21:54.000It's David Horowitz's great website, the great David Horowitz.
00:21:58.000Having destroyed Pizza and its own company, Pizza Hut now wants to destroy America.
00:22:02.000So every day we have new companies going completely woke.
00:22:55.000Think about how dumb you must be to believe that.
00:22:57.000People want less news and better news.
00:23:00.000They don't want to spend more money on news, especially where it's abundant and you can basically get the CNN Pravda without having to watch CNN.
00:23:10.000So CNN spent all this money on this crap called CNN Plus, and they went and hired Chris Wallace.
00:23:18.000Chris Wallace, of course, the yellow journalist who participates in Total Pravda, he is a liar.
00:23:25.000Chris Wallace is, quote, having daily breakdowns over the, quote, miserable launch of CNN Plus, wants a CNN show or is threatening to walk, they go on.
00:23:37.000He is having staffers count how many days his promo is playing on CNN.
00:23:43.000Wallace reportedly wants a CNN show or is threatening to leave.
00:23:47.000He's telling anyone that will listen that he wants Cuomo's old time slot.
00:23:53.000CNN Plus struggles to lure viewers in its early days, drawing fewer than 10,000 daily users.
00:24:01.000The Charlie Kirk Show radio program, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, is significantly bigger than the multi-billion dollar media company CNN Plus.
00:24:11.000CNN dropped negative 32% in average total primetime viewers, negative 28% in the primetime demo, negative 22% in total day viewers, negative 28% in total day demo.
00:24:22.000MSNBC's year-over-year decline has been even more extreme, with Rachel Maddow having been on hiatus.
00:24:28.000And MSNBC has shed 39% in average total primetime viewers, half of its audience from the primetime demo, down 50% and down 31% in total day viewers, and down 46% in total day demo versus year-over-year.
00:24:48.000Now, speaking of CNN and their total collapse, CNN is also reacting to the collapse of Joe Biden.
00:24:55.000There's just a lot of collapsing happening.
00:25:15.000You know, there was always that thing, oh, Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency.
00:25:20.000We did it over and over and over and over again.
00:25:23.000Well, at this point in his presidency, Donald Trump's number is actually his average approval rating is one point higher than Joe Biden's, which is at 41%, Donald Trump at 42%.
00:25:33.000A first-term president at this point in his presidency, this is the lowest.
00:25:39.000This is the lowest for anyone who was elected to the presidency and didn't get up there through the vice presidency.
00:25:44.000This is a really, really, really bad number.
00:26:14.000Joe Biden, at this point, minus 23 points.
00:26:18.000That is the worst on record since they started asking about economic job approval ratings back in 1978 with Jimmy Carter.
00:26:26.000I don't know who this guy is, but the funniest part of the clip, I know on radio and podcasting, you can't tell, is he's trying to cut him off, the other guy, the shill.
00:26:48.000A new Quinnipiak poll should give you hope.
00:26:52.000What if I told you that more old people support Joe Biden than young people?
00:27:04.000I don't know, but I'm saying that maybe some of the work we're doing on this program, this podcast, and turning point action, maybe it's making a difference.
00:27:12.00021% of people 18 to 34 approve of Joe Biden.
00:28:52.000In October 2021, Republicans had an 11-point midterm enthusiasm advantage.
00:28:57.000In January 2022, Republicans had a 14-point advantage.
00:29:01.000Republicans now have a 17-point advantage.
00:29:06.000And Democrats, I think, know that they're going to lose power, and they basically just want to drink all the wine in the cellar before the Capitol falls.
00:29:17.000It's like, it's the last days, like, whatever.
00:31:45.000Just go to mypillow.com and click on the new radio listener specials and get deep discounts on all my pillow products, including the towels.
00:32:19.000My oldest daughter, four years old, has been asking questions about the origins of people in the world.
00:32:24.000I'm not a very religious person, and her dad is very agnostic, but I'm also growing more in that area, and I'd like to have her learn Christian values and beliefs.
00:34:32.000So if you're not familiar with Veggie Tales, it's really good education for children to be able to consume information and to be able to consume biblical values.
00:34:42.000Yeah, we just have a lot of questions here generally about Easter and Good Friday.
00:34:49.000So let me just kind of summarize this one.
00:34:51.000This one is from Quinn, who is from Pennsylvania.
00:34:54.000Charlie, you know, how do you know there is a God?
00:34:57.000Got asked that question quite a lot in the last couple days.
00:35:00.000First of all, I've experienced God personally.
00:35:43.000Even an ardent atheist scientist will admit that the universe had a very specific starting point because the universe is expanding and eventually it will contract.
00:35:53.000We believe that in order for there to be space, time, and matter, something that transcends space, time, and matter must therefore be able to make space, time, and matter.
00:36:01.000And that something is something that is a constant.
