00:00:30.000 What group of people hate Biden the most?
00:00:32.000 The answer will shock you.
00:00:36.000 What group of people hate Biden the most?
00:00:39.000 All I can say is the work we are doing on this program, I think it's starting to get out.

00:01:00.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
00:01:01.000 We go.
00:01:02.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:04.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:06.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:09.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:13.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:14.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:15.000 His 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.
00:01:23.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:32.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:35.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
00:01:38.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.
00:01:40.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:01:47.000 So we got a lot of questions on our campus tour.
00:01:50.000 In fact, we also have a lot of questions here for Ask Me Anything.
00:01:54.000 And Greg from Cincinnati and Carla from North Carolina and Cynthia from Arizona.
00:02:00.000 They all have a very similar question.
00:02:01.000 And I receive this question at every single one of our campus stops, which is Charlie Trump or DeSantis.
00:02:09.000 Trump or DeSantis?
00:02:12.000 And I answered it.
00:02:13.000 I said, look, if Trump runs again, he's going to have my support.
00:02:15.000 I said, he's earned it.
00:02:16.000 He's been good to me.
00:02:17.000 He's been good to the country.
00:02:19.000 I consider him to be, I guess you could say, a friend.
00:02:22.000 Yeah, and that's pretty cool to say.
00:02:24.000 And he's been terrific.
00:02:27.000 I also say, though, that Ron DeSantis has an opportunity at some point to be a once-in-a-generation, once-in-a-century statesman.
00:02:35.000 Ron DeSantis is hitting home run after home run after home run.
00:02:41.000 Ron DeSantis has just now signed a pro-life bill that the left is losing their mind over.
00:02:46.000 He signed the anti-grooming bill, the parental rights education bill.
00:02:49.000 He just signed a fatherhood initiative. 0.98
00:02:51.000 And on top of all of that, Ron DeSantis has bailed out the corrupt, dumb, and I would say double-minded Republican establishment. 0.99
00:03:07.000 What do you mean by that? 0.97
00:03:08.000 Well, so we got a lot of questions about DeSantis or Trump.
00:03:11.000 We got very few questions, if at all, about redistricting.
00:03:15.000 Now, 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.
00:03:22.000 He's the RNC committeeman for Arizona.
00:03:25.000 And he's been probably the leading voice in the RNC of trying to tell people that redistricting is not going well.
00:03:34.000 So what is redistricting?
00:03:36.000 Well, every 10 years, there is a census done.
00:03:39.000 Now, 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?
00:03:57.000 One of the ways is by counting them in the census.
00:04:01.000 So 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.
00:04:13.000 And so open borders is not just about them actually putting forward ballots, but they get representation.
00:04:20.000 In fact, Democrats are able to increase their power that way by increasing the population supply.
00:04:28.000 Okay.
00:04:29.000 And so a census is done every 10 years.
00:04:32.000 We counted illegals in our census, which is just insane. 1.00
00:04:34.000 Do we count visitors in New York City when they're coming for two weeks in the census?
00:04:41.000 Do we count foreign nationals that are here visiting family in Tampa or in Miami?
00:04:46.000 Of course not.
00:04:46.000 It's insane.
00:04:47.000 The 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. 1.00
00:04:56.000 But we do it anyway.
00:04:57.000 Okay.
00:04:58.000 Now, Trump to his credit and Wilbur Ross to his credit.
00:05:00.000 You might say, Wilbur Ross, what does he have to do that?
00:05:02.000 Well, many people don't know this.
00:05:04.000 The Department of Commerce actually oversees the census.
00:05:09.000 It's like of all places, like, what?
00:05:10.000 That's right.
00:05:11.000 The Department of Commerce oversees the census every 10 years.
00:05:14.000 Now, in a civilizationally suicidal move, the left, of course, wanted to count illegals. 0.76
00:05:20.000 They won in court, unfortunately.
00:05:22.000 And that's a fight that we have to pick up.
00:05:25.000 So census data comes out, and then every 10 years, the Constitution mandates that the states meet to reassess their maps, their congressional maps.
00:05:25.000 Okay.
00:05:37.000 Now, that doesn't say maps in the Constitution, but there's some provision.
00:05:40.000 Connor can find it.
00:05:41.000 I believe it's in Article 1, Section 3 or 4, that states every 10 years based on a census.
00:05:49.000 It might be an amendment.
00:05:50.000 I could be mistaken, but it would definitely be under Article 1.
00:05:53.000 And so the states meet, they do this.
00:05:56.000 Now, 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.
00:06:08.000 Now, full disclosure, Republicans responded in kind.
00:06:12.000 Now, this is a practice called gerrymandering.
00:06:16.000 Gerrymandering is the changing and the moving of districts specifically for a political output and purpose.
00:06:22.000 Both sides do this terribly.
00:06:25.000 Now, Democrats have decided this last cycle, this last map iteration, to just go nuts.
00:06:33.000 New York, Illinois, and California are some of the most partisan, some of the most just Democrat-heavy maps you could imagine.
00:06:43.000 Now, Republicans in other states were afraid to flex their muscles in return.
00:06:47.000 So we got really poor maps in a lot of states.
00:06:50.000 Arizona maps, not great.
00:06:53.000 Texas maps, okay.
00:06:55.000 Ohio maps, not great.
00:06:57.000 North Carolina maps, terrible.
00:06:59.000 And it really kind of came down.
00:07:01.000 The maps, by the way, what do I mean by that?
00:07:03.000 It's like the tilt of Democrat district versus Republican districts.
00:07:06.000 And now in the wave election year coming up into November, we will start to see whether or not, I was right.
00:07:15.000 It was Article 1, Section 3.
00:07:17.000 Was I right about that?
00:07:18.000 Okay, cool.
00:07:18.000 Yeah.
00:07:19.000 It's off the top of my head.
00:07:20.000 You'll start to see in November that in a wave year, the maps don't mean as much.
00:07:23.000 But 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.
00:07:35.000 And 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.
00:07:49.000 And Ron DeSantis was pressured and he was given an incredible amount of, let's say, arm-ringing and a remarkable amount of intimidation.
00:08:03.000 That's the word I'm looking for, to sign the Democrat-heavy maps in Florida.
00:08:10.000 And Ron DeSantis said no.
00:08:13.000 Ron DeSantis said, I will veto maps that include some of these unconstitutional districts.
00:08:19.000 And 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.
00:08:33.000 It is a 20 to 8 Trump over Biden map, including very favorable districts in Pinellas County and otherwise.
00:08:44.000 It was 16-11.
00:08:46.000 Now it's 20 to 8.
00:08:47.000 Now, why would I support something as imbalanced as that, someone would say?
00:08:53.000 Because it's a reaction to the New York and the California maps.
00:08:56.000 I will say this again.
00:08:57.000 I want to win.
00:09:00.000 I'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.
00:09:09.000 If they're going to do that, then we're going to play in kind.
00:09:12.000 We've got to neutralize the playing field.
00:09:15.000 And 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.
00:09:22.000 They say, Ron DeSantis is engaging in the very same type of behavior that we hate from Democrats.
00:09:26.000 Like, wait a second.
00:09:27.000 Like, do you want the country to be saved?
00:09:30.000 Or would you rather have maps that favor Democrats when you have an opportunity to make them favoring Republicans?
00:09:39.000 We should be unapologetic.
00:09:40.000 Of course, we want the maps to favor Republicans.
00:09:42.000 Obviously, Democrats say exactly the same.
00:09:46.000 I want to win.
00:09:48.000 The 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.
00:10:07.000 Ron DeSantis is so smart.
00:10:09.000 He says, look, if the governors of Texas, the governor of Ohio, now the Texas maps were okay, they weren't great.
00:10:16.000 If 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.
00:10:29.000 And he has.
00:10:30.000 It looks like it will withstand court challenges.
00:10:33.000 The California maps and the New York maps were designed to try to disadvantage Republicans, and now Ron DeSantis is picking up the slack.
00:10:41.000 I'm telling you, he is 10 out of 10.
00:10:44.000 These maps will give Republicans a fighting chance in years to come.
00:10:52.000 Almost every day we hear about another major corporation that has gone woke.
00:10:55.000 Disney hates you, and everyone should cancel Disney.
00:10:59.000 They hate families.
00:11:00.000 Disney made tons of money off of being family-friendly and family-safe.
00:11:06.000 Now it's time to divest from Disney.
00:11:08.000 There's a lot of companies like T-Mobile that's firing all their unvaccinated employees.
00:11:11.000 They're tormenting their employees with leftist propaganda and funding organizations who seem to hate this country.
00:11:17.000 And so I was on a mission.
00:11:18.000 I was seeing how much I was spending on my cell phone bill, how much Turning Point USA was spending on our cell phone bill.
00:11:23.000 I 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.
00:11:31.000 So I told my team, I said, go find the cell phone company that shares our values.
00:11:36.000 And I remember I met this guy, Glenn.
00:11:38.000 We'd run into each other a couple of times, and he was super enthusiastic, always wore this right red polo, said Patriot Mobile on it.
00:11:45.000 And I saw him again at an event.
00:11:46.000 Said, okay, now you really got to sit down.
00:11:48.000 Like, let's plan some time together and talk about this.
00:11:50.000 So, we had this meal in Dallas.
00:11:52.000 This is back in November, and he laid it all out, and I got it.
00:11:54.000 I was like, wow, okay.
00:11:56.000 So, you're at a conservative Christian cell phone provider, and I don't have to pay all these woke companies.
00:12:01.000 And it just like clicked in a minute.
00:12:02.000 I said, let's partner together.
00:12:03.000 Let's have you on the show.
00:12:04.000 Let's do some things.
00:12:06.000 And that's how it all started.
00:12:07.000 So, Patriot Mobile, they have plans to fit every budget.
00:12:10.000 And their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:12:15.000 Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
00:12:23.000 So, make the switch today.
00:12:24.000 I know the whole management team behind Patriot Mobile, Glenn, all of them, they support Turning Point USA.
00:12:30.000 They support us beautifully.
00:12:32.000 So, you go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:12:36.000 People ask all the time, Charlie, what do I do?
00:12:38.000 What do I do?
00:12:38.000 Well, a good way to start is, you know, make your cell phone bill, whatever.
00:12:42.000 If you see it on your cell phone statement, you get your cell phone statement.
00:12:45.000 You 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.
00:12:53.000 So, you get a free activation with the offer code Charlie.
00:12:56.000 They also have special discounts for veterans and first responder heroes.
00:13:00.000 It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:13:04.000 Join me on the Charlie Kirk show in our change to Patriot Mobile and forgetting all these woke, awful, terrible cell phone companies.
00:13:11.000 Portions of this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, are brought to you in part by Patriot Mobile.
00:13:15.000 It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie, patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie.
00:13:23.000 Okay, let's go to some other thoughts here and some other questions.
00:13:29.000 Here's one: Charlie, how did you survive at Berkeley?
00:13:32.000 What was it like?
00:13:34.000 Tell us more.
00:13:35.000 Basically, it's just a long email from Sal from Oklahoma.
00:13:40.000 Tell us more about what you learned there.
00:13:42.000 So, 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.
00:13:55.000 I'll first just say this about Berkeley: what a dark city.
00:13:59.000 And 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.
00:14:13.000 I just feel it every single time I go to Berkeley.
00:14:18.000 When I tried to speak, there were literally kids that were coming and just knocking on windows like the walking dead.
00:14:24.000 But 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.
00:14:34.000 We're going to be releasing some of that footage.
00:14:36.000 In fact, we're still contemplating whether or not what parts we might include and not include.
00:14:41.000 The only ones we might not include are just kind of the stuff that my kit kicked us off, get off YouTube and Facebook.
00:14:47.000 Just kind of vaccine stuff and all that, which was a topic.
00:14:51.000 But 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.
00:15:04.000 Now it's very dystopian.
00:15:07.000 A lot of the students at Berkeley do not believe things can or will get better.
00:15:14.000 They don't.
00:15:15.000 Instead, they're very cynical.
00:15:18.000 A cynical country is not a healthy country.
00:15:20.000 It's not.
00:15:21.000 And their kind of perspective is like, look, things are awful.
00:15:25.000 We don't like the way they are.
00:15:27.000 And you're kind of the problem.
00:15:29.000 And like, there is no truth.
00:15:30.000 There is no beauty.
00:15:31.000 There's nothing worth fighting for.
00:15:33.000 Now, 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.
00:15:42.000 Let's enjoy that together.
00:15:43.000 Play Cut 90.
00:15:46.000 Should we like him?
00:15:46.000 What's his deal?
00:15:48.000 If you don't like asking, you're literally talking about it.
00:15:50.000 Did you know he just tweeted that Kamala Harris's vice presidency was affirmative action?
00:15:56.000 I know.
00:15:57.000 Also, in fact, don't take it.
00:16:00.000 Oh, yeah.
00:16:01.000 The guy that gave us his flow.
00:16:03.000 He seemed like a.
00:16:04.000 I feel like nobody wants war with Russia.
00:16:07.000 So that's a short little clip.
00:16:09.000 It'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?
00:16:18.000 Whoa, it's like, yeah, of course she was.
00:16:21.000 I mean, Biden openly said that he was going to choose a vice president based solely on characteristics that can't be changed.
00:16:29.000 That is affirmative action. 0.68
00:16:31.000 And so spending the time at Berkeley, I learned a lot.
00:16:34.000 And as I kind of go back to the footage, I'll be reminded of a lot of it.
00:16:37.000 So here's how it kind of works: you get how it works.
00:16:38.000 You go there, set up a card table, a couple cameras.
00:16:41.000 It was really cold at the beginning.
00:16:42.000 Just like super chilly and it kind of warmed up.
00:16:45.000 And it starts like super awkward.
00:16:46.000 You just kind of sit there.
00:16:48.000 And then one of the students is like, well, I wonder if people are going to come up.
00:16:51.000 I was like, they're going to come up.
00:16:52.000 Don't worry.
00:16:53.000 We're going to have a nice time.
00:16:54.000 And they just come up and you start having a good conversation.
00:16:57.000 I learned a lot.
00:16:58.000 I thought it was respectful. 0.98
00:17:00.000 There were a couple people that were being jerks, obviously, a couple people that were just trying to, you know, not respect the entire deal. 0.97
00:17:07.000 But 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. 0.98
00:17:15.000 And I was sitting looking up at them.
00:17:18.000 And they were like non-stop questions.
00:17:22.000 Well, what about this?
00:17:23.000 Well, what about that?
00:17:24.000 Like, what about this?
00:17:25.000 Like, what about that?
00:17:26.000 And it was just non-stop.
00:17:26.000 Like, what?
00:17:28.000 And one of the young ladies had one of the great quotes, and I can't wait to just re-watch this.
00:17:34.000 She 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.
00:17:40.000 I said, why do you think that is?
00:17:42.000 She said, well, it's because you have beliefs that don't change.
00:17:47.000 I said, yeah, exactly.
00:17:48.000 That's right.
00:17:49.000 I said, I believe in a natural law.
00:17:51.000 I believe in certain principles that are applicable over time and space.
00:17:55.000 She said, well, that's not the way to live life.
00:17:58.000 She 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.
00:18:07.000 She had never thought of it that way.
00:18:10.000 That there might be a transcendent moral order, an unchanging way that we must anchor ourselves to existence.
00:18:18.000 And that is the byproduct of the parasitic idea of postmodernism.
00:18:24.000 That things are always changing.
00:18:25.000 It's just a construct.
00:18:26.000 Who's to say what it is?
00:18:28.000 Like, I could predict what you're going to say before you say it.
00:18:30.000 Like, I consider that to be a great compliment.
00:18:32.000 That means I'm consistent and that I am anchored in things that are true and that will always be true.
00:18:42.000 Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
00:18:46.000 Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
00:18:52.000 Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
00:18:56.000 One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
00:19:01.000 Based 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.
00:19:12.000 So PAX Financial is wonderful.
00:19:14.000 They share our values.
00:19:15.000 In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
00:19:22.000 Stop using the woke money managers.
00:19:24.000 PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
00:19:28.000 So 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.
00:19:38.000 That's Charlie at number 74868.
00:19:41.000 That's Charlie to number 74868.
00:19:45.000 So 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.
00:19:57.000 Take out your phone, text Charlie to 74-868.
00:20:02.000 They're about to manage some money for me.
00:20:04.000 I really think highly of PAX Financial.
00:20:06.000 Text Charlie to number 74-868.
00:20:11.000 Every day we're learning about a new company that has gone totally woke.
00:20:15.000 Disney is woke.
00:20:16.000 Pizza Hut is woke.
00:20:18.000 Let me read this story about Pizza Hut.
00:20:19.000 It's almost hard to believe.
00:20:20.000 Hold on.
00:20:21.000 Pizza Hut teaches America, kids, America is built on slavery and genocide.
00:20:27.000 A fast food chain claims that America was founded on genocide from frontpagemag.com.
00:20:40.000 Pizza Hut, unsatisfied with making kids fat, also wants to make them racist.
00:20:45.000 They 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.
00:21:00.000 They say race defines American life according to Pizza Hut.
00:21:00.000 That's what they say.
00:21:04.000 They say here, quote, America is a country built on a foundation of slavery, genocide, and white supremacy.
00:21:10.000 A pamphlet for teachers stamped by the Pizza Hut logo declares.
00:21:16.000 They say, this is so well written by Front Page Magazine.
00:21:19.000 They say this, they say, challenging Conversation says that police force, quote, is the sixth leading cause of death for black men.
00:21:27.000 Now, 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.
00:21:36.000 But actually, his front page magazine comes back beautifully.
00:21:38.000 They say, actually, it's diabetes.
00:21:42.000 But 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.
00:21:54.000 It's David Horowitz's great website, the great David Horowitz.
00:21:58.000 Having destroyed Pizza and its own company, Pizza Hut now wants to destroy America.
00:22:02.000 So every day we have new companies going completely woke.
00:22:05.000 It's happening at a record rate.
00:22:07.000 Okay, we have a question here.
00:22:09.000 Bob from Tennessee.
00:22:11.000 Charlie, what is going on at CNN?
00:22:13.000 I'm hearing rumors that they are imploding.
00:22:16.000 Nope, it's even worse than that.
00:22:18.000 CNN Plus has, I think, only 10,000 people that have subscribed to CNN Plus.
00:22:25.000 It's unbelievable.
00:22:27.000 And CNN is imploding from every direction you could imagine.
00:22:31.000 And someone's really angry about it.
00:22:32.000 Chris Wallace is really angry about it because people aren't watching Chris Wallace anymore. 1.00
00:22:36.000 So I could just, this is what's so, these people are so stupid. 1.00
00:22:41.000 Imagine a meeting at CNN where someone says, you know what people want? 1.00
00:22:48.000 What's that?
00:22:50.000 They want a Netflix for news.
00:22:52.000 Yeah, that's what people want. 0.99
00:22:55.000 Think about how dumb you must be to believe that. 0.99
00:22:57.000 People want less news and better news. 0.99
00:23:00.000 They 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.
00:23:10.000 So CNN spent all this money on this crap called CNN Plus, and they went and hired Chris Wallace. 0.97
00:23:18.000 Chris Wallace, of course, the yellow journalist who participates in Total Pravda, he is a liar. 0.99
00:23:24.000 I'll tell you what. 0.62
00:23:25.000 Chris 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.
00:23:37.000 He is having staffers count how many days his promo is playing on CNN.
00:23:43.000 Wallace reportedly wants a CNN show or is threatening to leave.
00:23:47.000 He's telling anyone that will listen that he wants Cuomo's old time slot.
00:23:53.000 CNN Plus struggles to lure viewers in its early days, drawing fewer than 10,000 daily users.
00:24:00.000 That's right.
00:24:01.000 The Charlie Kirk Show radio program, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, is significantly bigger than the multi-billion dollar media company CNN Plus.
00:24:11.000 CNN 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.
00:24:22.000 MSNBC's year-over-year decline has been even more extreme, with Rachel Maddow having been on hiatus.
00:24:28.000 And 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.
00:24:48.000 Now, speaking of CNN and their total collapse, CNN is also reacting to the collapse of Joe Biden.
00:24:55.000 There's just a lot of collapsing happening.
00:24:58.000 Joe Biden just collapsed.
00:24:59.000 He can't even walk upstairs.
00:25:00.000 Just kind of, that's a theme, I think, from now to November collapse.
00:25:07.000 That's just a great theme.
00:25:10.000 Cut 98, they can't believe how unpopular Joe Biden is.
00:25:14.000 Play cut 98.
00:25:15.000 You know, there was always that thing, oh, Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency.
00:25:20.000 We did it over and over and over and over again.
00:25:23.000 Well, 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%.
00:25:33.000 A first-term president at this point in his presidency, this is the lowest.
00:25:39.000 This is the lowest for anyone who was elected to the presidency and didn't get up there through the vice presidency.
00:25:44.000 This is a really, really, really bad number.
00:25:48.000 Was he elected to the presidency?
00:25:50.000 That's the question.
00:25:53.000 CNN continues.
00:25:54.000 Cut 99 on Biden's approval rating.
00:25:57.000 Joe Biden at this point is minus 23 points.
00:26:00.000 That is the worst on record since they started asking about economic approval.
00:26:04.000 Play cut 99.
00:26:06.000 And I'll just note: if you don't believe that the economy is hurting the Democrats and Joe Biden, look at the net approval rating.
00:26:12.000 That's approval minus disapproval.
00:26:14.000 Joe Biden, at this point, minus 23 points.
00:26:18.000 That is the worst on record since they started asking about economic job approval ratings back in 1978 with Jimmy Carter.
00:26:26.000 I 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. 0.56
00:26:33.000 He's like, okay, enough, got it.
00:26:34.000 Who are you?
00:26:34.000 Stop, stop.
00:26:35.000 Stop it.
00:26:36.000 And he just keeps on going.
00:26:38.000 You could just see he's like, stop talking.
00:26:40.000 Stop it.
00:26:41.000 And he just keeps going into it.
00:26:42.000 They were like, cut segment, cut, cut.
00:26:44.000 They didn't actually look at the numbers before they did it.
00:26:46.000 They couldn't believe it.
00:26:48.000 A new Quinnipiak poll should give you hope.
00:26:52.000 What if I told you that more old people support Joe Biden than young people?
00:27:04.000 I 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.
00:27:12.000 21% of people 18 to 34 approve of Joe Biden.
00:27:18.000 21%.
00:27:21.000 Meanwhile, 48% of people over 65 approve of Joe Biden.
00:27:28.000 Of every demographic, where is Joe Biden the least popular?
00:27:32.000 18 to 34-year-old, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
00:27:36.000 That's right.
00:27:38.000 The least popular demographic for Joe Biden, younger voters.
00:27:44.000 The most popular, older voters.
00:27:48.000 Who's keeping Joe Biden's popularity even on life support?
00:27:52.000 Senior citizens.
00:27:53.000 Now, I'm not blaming them for that, but I never want to hear this, it's young people that are destroying the country. 1.00
00:27:59.000 Actually, it's not.
00:28:01.000 It's not.
00:28:02.000 The polling shows that young people disapprove Joe Biden.
00:28:05.000 56% of young people disapprove of Joe Biden.
00:28:09.000 56%, only 46% of senior citizens disapprove of Joe Biden.
00:28:15.000 In fact, more young people, 18 to 34, disapprove of Joe Biden than 35 to 49-year-olds.
00:28:21.000 That's a big deal.
00:28:24.000 Now, young people is the, by age, and this is where it just shows that it's just catastrophic for the Democrats.
00:28:34.000 Only 26% of Hispanics approve of Joe Biden.
00:28:41.000 Does it start to make sense now why they need to get rid of Joe Biden, why they're doing these criminal investigations via Hunter?
00:28:48.000 They got to get rid of them.
00:28:52.000 In October 2021, Republicans had an 11-point midterm enthusiasm advantage.
00:28:57.000 In January 2022, Republicans had a 14-point advantage.
00:29:01.000 Republicans now have a 17-point advantage.
00:29:06.000 And 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.
00:29:17.000 It's like, it's the last days, like, whatever.
00:29:21.000 We're going to just blow it out.
00:29:24.000 And I just want to re-emphasize this, that only 21% of young people, 18 to 34, approve of Joe Biden.
00:29:36.000 That means that students and young people are this amazing opportunity.
00:29:42.000 You know what our biggest problem was at Berkeley?
00:29:45.000 Our biggest problem at Boulder?
00:29:46.000 Our biggest problem at Fullerton?
00:29:48.000 We had to turn away more students than we were actually able to keep in the room because of the amazing enthusiasm.
00:29:57.000 And the university didn't give us a big enough room.
00:29:59.000 That's fine.
00:29:59.000 At least we had an event.
00:30:00.000 We were thankful for that.
00:30:01.000 Okay.
00:30:03.000 Thehill.com, quote, Democrats face nightmare scenario, a biblical disaster looming.
00:30:11.000 That's from the Hill memo.
00:30:13.000 And I think it's only going to get worse.
00:30:14.000 You think people are angry now?
00:30:16.000 Wait for summer drive season.
00:30:18.000 Gas prices always go up in the summer.
00:30:20.000 Wait till you realize how much it costs to go to a hotel or a resort or to just do things you used to do.
00:30:27.000 And I don't want this.
00:30:30.000 I'm not Kathy Griffin.
00:30:30.000 I don't.
00:30:32.000 And I don't know if Bill Maher did this or not.
00:30:34.000 I think he did, but he might have been joking, but it wasn't funny when he did it.
00:30:37.000 I don't want a recession if it's going to help Republicans.
00:30:40.000 I do not want people to suffer if it just means Republicans are going to benefit from it.
00:30:45.000 I don't think that's right.
00:30:47.000 But to be honest, I think the suffering is coming.
00:30:50.000 I think that there is going to be an economic downturn.
00:30:52.000 We are going to have high price increases and an economic slowdown.
00:30:56.000 It's just a matter of time.
00:30:58.000 Quote, a Democrat strategist, I think it's going to be a biblical disaster.
00:31:02.000 This is the reality we as Democrats are in, and no one wants to face it.
00:31:08.000 Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
00:31:11.000 They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
00:31:15.000 Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
00:31:19.000 They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
00:31:25.000 He found the best towel company right here in America.
00:31:27.000 They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
00:31:31.000 They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a My Pillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
00:31:36.000 It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand tiles, two washcloths made with USA cotton.
00:31:40.000 They're soft, get absorbent.
00:31:42.000 Regularly, $100,999, not $39.99.

00:32:04.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:32:05.000 Thanks for the constant content jam-packed with facts and stats.
00:32:08.000 You're welcome.
00:32:09.000 Thank you for saying that.
00:32:11.000 I've become an avid listener in recent months.
00:32:13.000 Your Christian views have also sparked new interest in me that I've sidelined for many years.
00:32:17.000 That touches me.
00:32:18.000 Thank you.
00:32:19.000 My oldest daughter, four years old, has been asking questions about the origins of people in the world.
00:32:24.000 I'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.
00:32:31.000 Good.
00:32:32.000 A religious child is very important.
00:32:35.000 Do you have any recommendations for how to get her introduced to this type of knowledge for her age group?
00:32:39.000 And any advice on how to persuade her father that it's his job to equip her with this information regards Erica.
00:32:45.000 Well, I love the name Erica, obviously.
00:32:48.000 So we had a couple guests on our program that I'd like to refer you to.
00:32:50.000 Frank Turek and Lee Strobel are two really good starting points for this.
00:32:55.000 I don't know about the age-appropriate stuff.
00:32:58.000 That's something I do know exists.
00:33:00.000 That's not something I'm as locked in.
00:33:03.000 Maybe Andrew would be able to have some resources there.
00:33:05.000 But crose-examine.org is a great place for adults to start.
00:33:09.000 My friend Frank Turek does a phenomenal job running that.
00:33:12.000 And then maybe just say, hey, we're going to have movie night.
00:33:14.000 We're going to watch a movie called Case for Christ.
00:33:17.000 And the movie Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, I think, is very, very powerful.
00:33:21.000 I think it does a wonderful job.
00:33:23.000 And look, to go a level deeper, though, what you're wrestling with is where did people come from?
00:33:29.000 Again, when I was at Berkeley, just to keep referencing it, they kept saying, man created God.
00:33:34.000 God did not create man.
00:33:35.000 I said, that is so, that is just so shallow to believe such a thing as that.
00:33:43.000 Agnostic is fine.
00:33:44.000 It can help lead people towards the truth.
00:33:47.000 But just have an open heart.
00:33:50.000 Andrew says the following.
00:33:53.000 My daughter loves watching Veggie Tales and the star.
00:33:56.000 I grew up watching Veggie Tales.
00:33:57.000 Do they still make new Veggie Tales?
00:33:59.000 Is that right?
00:34:00.000 I think they do.
00:34:01.000 Yeah, they do.
00:34:02.000 Now, the creator of Veggie Tales is a very nasty person, but Veggie Tales, nevertheless, is great.
00:34:10.000 It has not gone woke, but the creator of Veggie Tales has gone super woke.
00:34:15.000 So just keep that in mind.
00:34:17.000 I could, I remember vividly watching, boy, I probably watched the Veggie Tale about Esther like 400 times growing up.
00:34:27.000 My parents made me watch a lot of Veggie Tales.
00:34:29.000 That's a good reminder.
00:34:29.000 Thank you, Andrew.
00:34:31.000 That's good.
00:34:32.000 So 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.
00:34:42.000 Yeah, we just have a lot of questions here generally about Easter and Good Friday.
00:34:49.000 So let me just kind of summarize this one.
00:34:51.000 This one is from Quinn, who is from Pennsylvania.
00:34:54.000 Charlie, you know, how do you know there is a God?
00:34:57.000 Got asked that question quite a lot in the last couple days.
00:35:00.000 First of all, I've experienced God personally.
00:35:02.000 I don't expect you to believe that.
00:35:05.000 But let's just look at the laws of physics.
00:35:07.000 Do you believe that an object at rest will stay at rest unless it's acted upon?
00:35:10.000 And do you believe that for every action there's equal and opposite reaction?
00:35:13.000 If the answer is yes, that means you believe in the laws of physics.
00:35:16.000 Okay.
00:35:16.000 Well, if those laws of physics are true, that means the universe, as we know, had a starting point, a big bang.
00:35:24.000 Something must have caused that big bang.
00:35:26.000 It did not happen on its own.
00:35:27.000 We as Christians believe that God created the big bang or created the beginning of the universe, whatever that might be.
00:35:35.000 It might be what we believe is the speaking of existence, ex nihilo, out of nothing.
00:35:40.000 God spoke it into existence.
00:35:43.000 Even 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.
00:35:53.000 We 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.
00:36:01.000 And that something is something that is a constant.
00:36:04.000 which we believe is God.
