There are still men winning championships and taking them from women in the state of California. We discuss that and, live from Rome, John Yep joins us and describes what the conclave is, and then we also cover how you can make $70,000 a year without a college degree. And, finally, why is the left obsessed with poop?
00:00:58.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:05.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:25.000So, Sophia, tell us the state of affairs, I should say, in California and a little bit nationally.
00:02:32.000Are men still winning competitions, awards, and medals over female athletes?
00:02:38.000Unfortunately, they are, especially in California.
00:02:40.000You know, Trump put out this great executive order, and just days later, CIF, who's the governing body of high school sports in the state of California, said, nope, we're not going to follow it.
00:02:50.000We're going to continue to allow boys to compete in girls' sports, to be in their locker rooms, and we're seeing that happen this weekend.
00:02:56.000We're going to watch a male, who is right now first in three different track events, compete against girls and beat out the girls for the position of finals.
00:04:14.000Yeah, so this Saturday at Yorba Linda High School, we have the CIF preliminaries, and he right now is in first for high jump, long jump, and triple jump.
00:04:23.000And so these girls are going to have to be competing against them.
00:04:26.000And let's be real, he's going to beat them.
00:04:30.000I've been able to talk to some of their girls and some of the families that are competing this weekend, and they know it's unfair.
00:04:36.000And the fact that they have to go into preliminaries and not just be ready to compete, not just make sure they got enough sleep, make sure they ate the right things, make sure they trained hard enough for the preliminaries.
00:04:46.000But they now have to focus on the fact that there is a boy competing against them that no matter how hard they train, that he is going to outperform.
00:04:53.000And, you know, we've worked real hard in California to push back on this.
00:04:59.000We had actually two Save Girls sports bills this year.
00:05:02.000I testified in support of one of them.
00:05:04.000It was Assembly Bill 89 by Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez.
00:05:08.000And I was actually able to quote that clip of Governor Newsom saying it's deeply un- Yeah, and so, again, we can go through the list that your wonderful organization has composed.
00:05:35.000I don't know if I'm allowed to name these names off because they might be minors, so I'll instead just name the school, if that's okay.
00:05:41.000There's someone at Sonoma Academy who's a man who is on pace to win a cross-country and track and field championship.
00:05:48.000Half Moon Bay High School, volleyball.
00:05:51.000Waldorf High School, volleyball, basketball, and soccer.
00:06:34.000It's extremely evident that teachers are pushing this agenda on students.
00:06:38.000We see some of the schools you listed were getting pictures sent nonstop of trans flags, pride flags, BLM flags hung up in these teachers' classrooms.
00:06:48.000And so it really goes to show as these grown adults are pushing this ideology, this trans ideology on students, they're going to start falling for it.
00:06:59.000These boys, whether or not we agree with what they're doing, and we absolutely do not agree with them being girls sports or pretending to be girls, they are victims to this too.
00:07:07.000And it's because of what these teachers are pushing.
00:07:09.000Yeah, and so I want to dive a little bit deeper into this.
00:07:13.000And so is it true that we actually have no idea how the magnitude of this?
00:07:18.000I mean, one thing the Trump administration could do is they could demand information that they could say, hey, not only are we prohibiting it, but we are requiring, since you receive federal money, to know if you have men and female sports.
00:07:32.000You guys had to somewhat informally, in a guerrilla tactic way, compile this list.
00:07:39.000It would be great to have that force being put on California, being put on CIF, because right now there is no way to fully track those schools and athletes that you listed off.
00:07:49.000That's just what we've been able to pull together.
00:07:51.000But we know it's happening up and down our state and more than we can even imagine.
00:07:55.000So if we could get President Trump to come in and force California to start keeping track, that would be phenomenal.
00:08:02.000What is the rank and file of parents in California?
00:08:34.000Our Democrat legislators are constantly killing bills on this topic.
00:08:38.000And so the parents are ready for there to be a change.
00:08:40.000We saw when there was the Save Girls Sports bills hearings, 100 people showed up to urge a yes vote.
00:08:47.000We're getting people to show up this Saturday.
00:08:49.000Parents are showing up to school board meetings across the state of California and urging people to save girls sports.
00:08:54.000So no matter what people like to think about, In closing here, what are the marching orders?
00:09:04.000And also, I do want to ask, does this also mean that the boys who are stealing these girls' championships, do they get access to the girls' locker room?
00:09:12.000Yes, currently in the state of California, since 2013, boys have been allowed to access locker rooms and bathrooms, the girls' locker rooms and restrooms.
00:09:21.000And so it's been a big issue, and we need to put an end to that.
00:09:25.000And the way people can get involved and make a difference is CIF is acting like Californians don't want this change, that Californians don't want to stop boys being in girls' locker rooms and sports teams.
00:09:36.000So we need to make sure CIF knows Californians and Americans are over with what Californians.
00:09:41.000So at CaliforniaFamily.org, we just launched a petition urging CIF to save girls sports.
00:09:47.000So if people can sign up for that, we'll get that in the hands of CIF and to their president, John Becker, and make sure they know where we stand.

00:13:15.000AI could basically destroy the expertise of a generation.
00:13:20.000However, the jobs that are a little AI-proof for now, until robotics do them, but honestly, robotics is still way far out from replacing these jobs.
00:13:28.000Human dexterity is going to be the hardest thing for AI to replace.
00:13:34.000And being conservative is very AI-proof amusingly, so we have job protection here on The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:13:41.000Just reading the news every day, I told this to a certain guy on CNBC.
00:13:46.000I said, you know that AI is going to take your job soon.
00:13:48.000Wonderful piece here from the Wall Street Journal.
00:13:50.000I had them printed out for us, but here's in the Wall Street Journal.
00:13:54.000High school juniors with $70,000 a year job offers.
00:13:59.000Companies with shortages of skilled workers look to shop class to recruit future hires.
00:14:05.000Quote, like I'm an athlete getting all the attention from all these pro teams.
00:14:09.000This is not people with sociology degrees.
00:14:12.000This is not people studying communications.
00:14:14.000This is not people studying North African lesbian poetry.
00:14:18.000No, it is high school juniors with $70,000 a year job offers.
00:14:24.000In Philadelphia, Elijah Rios won't graduate high school until next year, but he already has a job offer, one that pays $68,000 a year.
00:14:33.000Rios, 17 years old, is a junior taking welding class at a Catholic high school.
00:14:37.000Employers are dealing with a shortage of workers as baby boomers retire.
00:14:41.000They've increasingly begun courting high school students like Rios.
00:14:44.000By the way, this is why we should not import cheap labor.
00:16:15.000The biggest problem is not the trades.
00:16:16.000It's all of you listening right now that are parents that are afraid and ashamed of turning to your neighbors and saying that my kid is a welder.
00:16:23.000You as a suburban parent think that you are a failure if your kid does not go to University of Iowa.
00:16:30.000You as a suburban parent think that your kid is a failure if it doesn't go to CU Boulder.
00:16:34.000That if you turn to your neighbors and turn to your relatives and you have Christmas and Thanksgiving and they say, oh, what is Elijah doing?
00:16:43.000They'll look as if you failed or you fell short.
00:16:45.000Parents, stop making decisions based on the social currency from snobbish, elitist, left-wing socialites that act as if you need to make your decisions because you don't have the...
00:16:59.000Stanford mom bumper sticker on your Lexus.
00:17:03.000Instead, you should say, my kid has a $70,000 a year job with no debt, working with his hands, not indoctrinated, and he loves the country.

00:19:23.000Those cardinals don't come out until they, with the God of the Spirit, choose the man that will lead two billion Catholics around the world.
00:19:33.000This is a tradition that goes back almost really to the foundation of the church 2,000 years ago, and it's a special moment for Christians and non-Christians alike around And so they're going to meet.
00:19:44.000What exactly happens in these deliberations?
00:20:00.000Obviously, we know that Pope Francis died the day after Easter, right after J.D. Vance and him had that special moment together that way.
00:20:08.000And then these past two weeks have been extremely, extremely important, Charlie, because, you know...
00:20:12.000Even if you're not Catholic, you probably understand that we've had a pontificate under Pope Francis, which has genuinely created a lot of scandal for Christians across the world.
00:20:22.000There's been a lot of just obfuscation on Catholic doctrine and biblical principles.
00:20:28.000And it's been a time these past two weeks for the Catholic faithful to voice...
00:20:32.000Their concerns, which they have in abundance, to these men and let them know we want to return to orthodoxy.
00:20:41.000So these cardinals have spent the last two weeks hearing and meeting on their own.
00:20:45.000This is actually the first time that they have been gathered together in roughly 10 years, so they themselves have also had time to get to know each other.
00:21:23.000So what these men are going to be doing, they're going to be choosing...
00:21:27.000That successor of Peter to continue to lead to administer the Catholic flock around the world.
00:21:32.000So let's talk about some of the concerns.
00:21:34.000Pope Francis was not necessarily well-received by all Catholics, and I just know from Catholics I know, like Taylor Marshall or Jack Posobiec, privately and publicly, Michael Knowles, they definitely would have some objections with some of his statements.
00:21:52.000What are you looking for in the next Pope?
00:21:55.000What do you think could be improved upon?
00:22:03.000He said, look, people, this is not about conservatives or progressives.
00:22:06.000What we want is either an orthodox or we want a non-heterodox cardinal or a pope.
00:22:11.000In other words, we want someone that's faithful to traditions of what we believe for 2,000 years.
00:22:16.000You had Pope Francis who, you know, he danced with traditional things like the blessing of same-sex marriages on the geopolitical scale.
00:22:23.000He signed that horrendous deal with the, yes, Chinese Communist Party, which really sold out the underground church over there and gave the power to the Chinese communists, that ability to name bishops, something that's never been done, Charlie, in 2,000 years.
00:23:31.000So that's what Christians have gathered all around the world here.
00:23:34.000The streets are literally packed, Charlie, right down here, and praying that we get the man that is best to lead the church.
00:23:40.000So let me ask you this, which is that popes in the past have had serious involvement in geopolitical matters.
00:23:50.000Pope John Paul II, famously the Polish pope, visited...
00:23:59.000He spoke out crisply and repeatedly against Soviet communism.
00:24:07.000He was an anti-communist figure in a time where the world was in a time for choosing.
00:24:15.000John Paul II framed what could be called Marxist materialism as very dehumanizing Soviet totalitarianism.
00:24:27.000In today's time, we are seeing the excesses of modernity.
00:24:31.000What I, as a non-Catholic, would love to see is a pope who speaks out about the increase in secularization, the downfall of Western values, the need to be able to grow closer to the divine.
00:24:45.000I think we're in a similar but different time.
00:24:48.000When we saw with John Paul II where the enemy was Soviet communism, we now have the rise of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:24:54.000We have the West deciding to basically commit slow motion suicide.
00:24:59.000Talk about how popes can be even more than the head of a Catholic church, but also be a spiritual force for good internationally.
00:25:09.000When you look at a pope and make the determination, how geopolitical should he be?
00:25:15.000It's almost the same question, which you challenge your audience all the time, Charlie.
00:25:18.000If you are truly living out of your faith, that faith has got to leave.
00:25:23.000The church doors and we'll touch concrete realities of human existence, i.e.
00:25:27.000the political realm, right, to a degree.
00:25:30.000You know, and you've rightly called out some pastors, priests, or whatever that have remained on the sidelines in the name of neutrality, but that's ridiculous, you know, because you're neither hot nor cold, I'll spew you out of my mouth.
00:26:11.000I mean, we have a world that's on fire right now.
00:26:13.000And President Trump, he needs all Christian leaders, but specifically the leadership of the Catholic Church, which has been such a central figure in the last...
00:26:26.000Well, you know, 2,000 years from civilization.
00:26:29.000That moral compass on the world stage the past 12 years.
00:26:33.000Hats off to President Trump for going here two weeks ago to be there for the funeral, to give that sign of respect for the office of the Pope.
00:28:28.000The Pope, about 45 minutes later, the Pope will step out and he will give a blessing, urbe at orbe, Latin for to the city and to the world.
00:28:37.000It's a blessing for all of humanity to offer his benediction, right?
00:28:42.000So you'll see that in the next few days.
00:28:45.000It's a special moment if you can, you know, John, thank you for your time.
00:29:03.000We pray that you have a safe and successful trip to Rome.
00:29:07.000I don't know where you guys are all staying.
00:29:09.000I have to ask you, because I mean, George Farmer's going there.
00:29:13.000I think, you know, Jack Posobiec is there.
00:29:16.000Do you guys have some sort of, like, Airbnb arrangement?
00:29:19.000I can't imagine logistically how this works.
00:29:54.000What does a mechanic and auto shop owner in Georgia, a taco restaurant operator in Arizona, and a life-saving medical innovator in Tennessee have in common?
00:30:02.000They're all small business owners, and they're all thriving on TikTok.
00:30:06.000Across the U.S., over 7.5 million businesses, from family-owned shops to entrepreneurs, are using TikTok to compete and grow.
00:30:13.000We use TikTok all the time on The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:30:15.000In fact, 74% of businesses on TikTok say TikTok has allowed them to scale their operations, increasing sales, and expanding to new locations.
