Dems are spending $20M to win back young men, according to a new report from the New York Times. Why? Because they know they are losing them, and they know how to win them back. Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we discuss why.
00:00:46.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:53.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:38.000The Democrat Party is telling us their plans.
00:01:40.000You see, the Democrat Party knows that they are losing, specifically losing, young men.
00:01:46.000We know that in the 2024 exit polls, they showed that Trump won 54% of men ages 18 to 29. A 29-point shift from 2020's 15-point Biden lead.
00:02:10.000YouGov data shows that even in the United Kingdom, where I just was visiting last week, 32% of UK men ages 18 to 24 voted Reform UK compared to 16% of women, doubling right-wing support.
00:02:24.000Globally, we are seeing that young men, Our scoring at a conservatism scale up nearly 30% versus 2014.
00:02:36.000Where everything masculine is labeled toxic, young men are starting to search for a place where manhood is still honored, not pathologized.
00:02:45.000In a world that preaches weakness as virtue, we are offering challenge, order, and responsibility.
00:02:53.000And the men of the West are listening.
00:02:57.000The New York Times published a separate piece of data that is equally as interesting where the Democrats know that their problem runs deep and everywhere.
00:03:06.000Where almost the entire country is moving to the right except the suburbs of Atlanta and the suburbs of Denver and parts of Virginia.
00:03:15.000almost everywhere is moving dramatically to the right.
00:03:19.000The country is experiencing the course correction or the re-reaching It is a seismic shift largely led by the men of the West that are rejecting the current composition of the Democrat Party.
00:03:39.000This is cut to 18. MSNBC reports that the New York Times is saying Democrats want to spend $20 million to figure out how to speak to young men.
00:04:28.000Half of the population of the country we desire to govern.
00:04:33.000Play cut to 18. With the midterms fast approaching and the full six months after November's electoral drubbing, the Democratic Party appears to still be in fact-finding mode.
00:04:44.000The New York Times reports that party donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters.
00:04:53.000And they're spending $20 million on an effort to try to figure out how to speak to young men.
00:04:59.000It is codenamed SAM, short for Speaking with American Men, a strategic plan, and promises investment to study the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces.
00:05:27.000Everything you believe is the problem.
00:05:30.000Instead of meeting at luxury hotels, if you want to see how men actually think, maybe you should have went to the Indy 500 this last weekend on Memorial Day.
00:07:39.000How about we just go to community meetings and meet people where they are on social media and their different forms and platforms that they are.
00:07:44.000But I think that we just, the Democrats have forgot how to talk to normal people about things that are really important to them, like the economy.
00:07:51.000So it's, I think, a really good lesson to learn.
00:07:54.000But I also think we just need to get back to basics.
00:07:57.000You see, Comedy Central, they dispatched one of their court jesters, one of the clowns that they have on payroll there, a guy by the name of Jordan Clapper, to go talk to young men and say, why do you like Charlie Kirk?
00:08:41.000He's like one of the last comedians that is still on the left because the left does not believe in freedom of speech.
00:08:46.000You cannot be in comedy and not believe in freedom of speech and therefore not want to be on the right because free speech is not a left-wing value.
00:08:54.000So he goes and tries to mock one of our fans when they're obviously acting in good faith.
00:08:59.000Here's Very Funny Man from Comedy Central, Play Cut 226.
00:09:02.000What makes Charlie Kirk so effective on a campus like this?
00:09:06.000I just think it's all the research he's done, all the statistics that he has to back it up.
00:09:11.000For some students, he was the only one speaking to their concerns.
00:09:14.000A couple years ago, I just started finding more people because I got so tired of this not being able to speak my mind.
00:09:21.000So I needed to find people that actually knew how to say things to a, um...
00:10:12.000And there's not any amount of advertisements and video games that are going to want people to support you.
00:10:21.000America's small businesses rely on TikTok to succeed, helping them attract more customers and drive more growth.
00:10:27.000From small batch sellers to fast growing brands, 74% of businesses on TikTok say it's helped them scale.
00:10:34.000We go super viral on TikTok here on this program, reaching billions and billions of views.
00:10:39.000You see, by hiring more employees, boosting sales and expanding new locations.
00:10:43.000Like AZ Taco King, who grew up from a mom-and-pop taco cart to two thriving restaurants in just a year, or Coco Asante, who upgraded to a larger facility and brought on more staff, letting their handcrafted chocolates reach more customers, or Dan O's Seasonings, who went from a one-man show to a team of 45, now supporting dozens of hardworking families.
00:11:04.000With TikTok, small businesses are thriving.
00:13:23.000Outside of the physical characteristics that make David Hogg indistinguishable than a survivor from a concentration camp, the more important component is that he never stands up for core values.
00:18:19.000Well, I think for Florida education, it's pretty scary right now.
00:18:23.000They're talking about electing somebody that clearly has said very racist things about, you know, original citizen of the country is racism.
00:20:13.000These things need to be in the public.
00:20:16.000He needs to have conversations with all the students, with all the faculty, with all the donors, with everybody in Florida, so he can answer questions.
00:20:49.000Racism is one of America's original sins.
00:20:53.000And the University of Michigan has not been immune from participating in racism.
00:21:00.000We have excluded and segregated individuals because of their race or their gender, ethnicity, religious faith, or sexual orientation.
00:21:11.000In doing so, if you think about it, we have robbed those individuals and our university and our world of their incredible talent and potential.
00:21:23.000And then PlayCut 158, An Indigenous Strategic Plan and Climate Action, PlayCut 158.
00:21:29.000We know that the Indigenous Strategic Plan is considered to be sort of the standard globally.
00:21:34.000The Climate Action Plan and our leadership of UC3, the University Climate Change Coalition, is admired globally.
00:21:42.000And our recently completed ARRI Task Force Report, Anti-Racism Inclusive Excellence, is also considered to be a standard that is emulated around the world.
00:21:53.000So I'm really proud of what the university community has accomplished during our time together.
00:21:58.000So Florida is becoming more and more Republican and more common sense, and this guy might become president?
00:22:08.000And so how can, without a thorough investigation, without completely understanding, maybe you could give them something that was taken out of context, but you look at that, you listen to those tapes, what could be taken out of context?
00:22:23.000I mean, he thinks we're racist down here.
00:25:01.000I stopped the state borrowing more money every year, which I've been doing for 40 years, and I paid off a third of the state debt while I was governor.
00:25:08.000So that's what we ought to be doing at the federal level.
00:25:10.000That's how we'll get interest rates down.
00:25:12.000That's how we'll get inflation down control.
00:25:13.000The poorest families in this state, in this country, are getting hurt by this massive inflation caused by reckless government spending.
00:25:21.000We're spending, Charlie, $2 trillion more than we take in.
00:25:51.000And what'll happen is it'll go back through a conference, or it'll just go back to the House, and they'll pass our bill.
00:25:56.000But I believe we're going to dramatically reduce mandatory spending to get this budget balanced in a short period of time, which is what we have to do.
00:26:06.000I just went through my election just like President Trump did.
00:26:08.000We all promised we were going to balance the budget.
00:26:11.000We are going to set the process to quickly balance in this budget.
00:26:15.000Senator, in closing here, let's talk about the great elements of the bill, because there's a lot of good stuff that I'm sure that you don't want to gut.
00:26:21.000Energy independence, $1,000 Trump account for every new baby born.
00:26:26.000Drill baby drill, border security, ICE agents, border patrol, tax on remittances, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, major middle class tax cut, and I'm just barely touching the surface.
00:26:37.000We're starting to get to work requirements for Medicaid, but it needs to be even more dramatic.
00:26:41.000We're peeling a little bit back of the Inflation Reduction Act and that nonsense of Biden, so we don't want to blow up the entire bill, and I'm sure that is your perspective, because what I just listed are phenomenal wins, and if we can get serious spending cuts, Then we have a historic accomplishment, Senator.
00:27:08.000Should we be spending more money for able-bodied adults that don't want to work or poor kids, which was the purpose of the original Medicaid program?
00:27:17.000I watched my brother not get health care when I was a kid because we didn't have Medicaid back then.
00:27:24.000The states have played the system, right, through provider taxes and other things, so they spend way more money for able-bodied adults, and these poor kids are left out in the cold just like they were before Medicaid.
00:28:54.000Hillsdale College offers more than 40 free online courses.
00:28:57.000That's right, free online courses on subjects like the Book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, The History of the Ancient Christian Church.
00:29:06.000It's hard for me to even say which is my personal favorite.
00:29:08.000You guys have got to take these online courses.
00:29:10.000They've recently launched a new course, Understanding Capitalism, that I've been watching.
00:29:15.000In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a part in our economic system, why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom, and why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it.

00:29:45.000Again, we have to praise President Trump and his administration every time we get a win.
00:29:50.000And I've got to give this show some credit.
00:29:51.000We had on this program Dr. Marty McCary, and we had Dr. Brett Weinstein.
00:29:57.000Well, people were not talking about this story at all.
00:30:00.000It was kind of just in the background and people weren't really focusing on it.
00:30:04.000We put the slight and loving pressure on and we said, why is it that the COVID shot is still being recommended to healthy children and to pregnant women?
00:30:15.000Now, I don't know if it's actually been removed from the vaccination schedule.
00:30:19.000I think those are two technical different things.
00:30:21.000I'm going to have to have somebody much smarter than me help understand, help explain to me.
00:30:26.000But at the very least, it is no longer being recommended.
00:30:37.000No longer for kids or for pregnant women.
00:30:39.000Now, I don't quite know the difference between it on the vaccination schedule and an official recommendation.
00:30:46.000Someone can explain that to me another time.
00:30:48.000Let's play cut to 28. I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as of today, Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.
00:31:20.000I hate the word democracy because it's overused and people don't understand it, but it actually is an accurate term at times for the will of the people.
00:32:27.000And just so you know, this happened at the Turning Point Action event, when Bobby Kennedy endorsed President Trump.
00:32:33.000A year ago today, Bobby Kennedy was running for the presidency as an independent.
00:32:37.000A year and a half ago today, Bobby Kennedy was running for the presidency as a Democrat.
00:32:43.000And now Bobby Kennedy is saying, nope, the COVID shot is no longer being recommended.
00:32:47.000If for that reason and that reason alone, you should say, praise God that President Trump won back the White House.
00:32:53.000And I know it's easy to get so into the weeds of complaining and doomsdaying and blackmailing.
00:33:13.000Do you know what those three men all have in common?
00:33:16.000All three of them, Jay Bhattacharya, Marty McCary, and Bobby Kennedy, all three were uniquely maligned and uniquely slandered during COVID.
