A tender offer from Elon Musk, and an experience I had at a bar in Wheeling, Illinois, and a little bit of an overview of Candace Owens and I s visit to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, a tender offer from Elon Musk when it comes to Twitter, and also an experience I had at a bar in Wheeling, Illinois, and a little bit of an overview of Candace Owens and I visit to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

00:00:59.000His 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.
00:01:08.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:19.000Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:25.000Go to AndrewandTodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandodd.com.
00:01:31.000So, yesterday we had an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the phenomenal Candace Owens, standing room only.
00:01:38.000We could have packed it out even more, but it was on campus, which was really great.
00:01:42.000Thank you to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for allowing us to host it.
00:01:45.000So, we've been doing this for a couple of years.
00:01:47.000I personally, and also Candace and I, and we at Turning Point USA have been doing this for 10 years now.
00:01:53.000We've seen a lot, and we've seen protests, we've seen attempts at disruption and interruption, we've seen people throw stuff at us, trying to play music to drown us out.
00:02:03.000Candace and I have been driven out of restaurants, had water thrown at us, like harassment, death threats, the whole gamut, right?
00:02:12.000One thing that I've heard, though, in the past, and I always kind of had it in the back of my mind, was a tactic that is used primarily, by the way, in Northeast schools, Ivy League schools, and Canadian schools as well, is a rather brutal and dare, and dare I say, it is an illegal tactic.
00:02:29.000It is against the law to do, which is to pull a fire alarm in the midst of the event.
00:02:33.000And so, Candace and I get our event started, and we're having a nice time.
00:02:37.000And, you know, everyone's really excited and really energized.
00:02:40.000And there you go, three to five minutes into the event, you know, the fire alarm is going off.
00:02:45.000And people are getting a little nervous.
00:02:46.000And I knew exactly what was happening.
00:03:36.000And then after a couple of minutes, our wonderful security team, of course, they knew what it was all about.
00:03:40.000They went right to it and they got the alarm all sorted out.
00:03:42.000Now, this was a masked, hooded, still anonymous individual who broke the law.
00:03:48.000You are not allowed to erroneously pull fire alarms with the intent of trying to disrupt an event.
00:03:54.000I don't think it's a felony, but it's definitely against the law.
00:03:58.000And I want you to think about this, though.
00:04:00.000This is something I was reflecting on last evening, which is how far has this country fallen where when I'm on stage, my first instinct and reaction as soon as I hear a fire alarm is not that something is wrong, but someone wants me to leave the building.
00:04:18.000And that's not a healthy situation to be in.
00:04:20.000If your first instinct is that this is the boy who cried wolf to try to get me off stage, I don't want to live in that country.
00:04:29.000We need to change that, is what I'm saying.
00:04:31.000Is that it should be where it would be so unthinkable to pull a fire alarm.
00:06:07.000I'm just, I'm just trying to watch the basketball game the Bulls were on, which despite my protest against the National Basketball Association, I'm still pulling for the Bulls.
00:06:16.000And people kept coming up and they said, Charlie, we got to take back the house.
00:06:45.000And I'm thinking to myself, like, this is not normal.
00:06:49.000Like, we have not seen this kind of spark of enthusiasm.
00:06:54.000And if all of a sudden the local neighborhood bar, which is supposed to be kind of like a neutral territory, you know, you kind of hang out, you see some people and you watch some sports is all of a sudden turned into kind of like the local Republican precinct headquarters where they're talking about like, what candidates running for this?
00:07:21.000Like, this is supposed to be, if anything, they might like disagree with Biden, but they kind of take a step back.
00:07:27.000And so one other thing I was really struck by is these people that used to be Democrats, a lot of them, who obviously hate the regime are going to vote against it, is the insistence on Ron DeSantis.
00:07:41.000So I just asked him, I said, who do you guys like?
00:07:42.000And like, unanimous, like eight of them, DeSantis, DeSantis, DeSantis, DeSantis.
00:08:10.000And this is a microcosm, obviously, but the national polling is showing that this is happening as well.
00:08:21.000That this is not just an isolated incident.
00:08:25.000And so one other kind of person came up and all they wanted to talk about was like, why is it that local schools are now talking about transgender stuff to kids?
00:08:37.000And again, I have no expectation coming to this like local bar, only place serving food at like 10.30 at night after our event with Candace Owens.
00:08:44.000And I got to thinking about like this cut.
00:08:46.000Let's go to Cut 72, Jen Psaki, saying that it should be normal for teachers to talk with kindergartners about if they're a girl or a boy.
00:08:53.000Now, mind you, at this bar, we're like bikers and truckers, welders and plumbers, mechanics, police officers.
00:09:27.000You want to know why all of a sudden the local neighborhood bar has been activated into now kind of mobilizing for local Republican action?
00:09:36.000It's because you have the top levels of our government not concerned about inflation or gas prices, not concerned about the deterioration of kind of national morale, not about drug overdoses, but they're worried about whether kindergarten teachers are able to talk about some of the most controversial and radical subjects and topics.
00:10:06.000The Parents Party is just strengthening.
00:10:09.000And meanwhile, we have the pervert party, the Democrats, that are super focused on trying to teach your kids about hyper sensitive sexual matters.
00:10:22.000What's so great about this moment, and I really hope this can be, I hope this can be scaled for years and decades to come because I'm seeing a winning coalition start to come together.
00:10:33.000I'm seeing a winning coalition of people of different backgrounds and religious affiliations and all kind of have agreement on liberty, on free expression, separation of powers, on borders.
00:10:45.000And so we're seeing this happen in a lot of different ways.
00:10:47.000We're going to get into some of the news, by the way, of Elon Musk, who looks like he is going to do a tender offer, $40 billion plus dollar tender offer of Twitter, which is incredibly exciting.
00:11:00.000Musk secures $46.5 billion in funding to buy Twitter, says he's ready for tender offer, which technically means that then the people that own shares, of which I will be one very soon, I'm going to go buy some shares of Twitter just so that I will be able to vote on it.
00:11:20.000And I will come back to Twitter if Musk succeeds.
00:11:55.000We have the humility, hopefully, I pray, every day to know that we are tied to the pesky shackles of reality, that you just don't get to create your own existence out of your wishes and your feelings out of the abstract.
00:12:09.000Like, actually, no, we are going to have to live by the laws of nature and nature is God.
00:12:15.000And one of the experiments in pushing how far reality can go is a $1 billion project that has now been completely and totally scrapped.
00:12:28.000CNN Plus, the $1 billion project from Warner Brothers, is now canceled.
00:12:38.000CNN Plus, the cable's network subscription service, is folding after just four weeks after its launch in late March.
00:12:46.000According to the New York Times, CNN Plus will cease operations on Saturday, April 30th.
00:12:52.000CNN launched on March 29th and was offered either a $6 a month or $60 a year.
00:12:58.000In addition to its on-demand library of services and films, CNN Plus featured live online programming hosted by CNN staples and anchors who were poached from other networks like Chris Wallace and NBC News Cassie Hunt.
00:13:10.000After just a couple weeks, it was such a failure that they had to scrap it all together.
00:13:16.000They were planning to spend a billion dollars on it.
00:14:01.000We could not find a space big enough in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to fit all the people that wanted to come here from Candace Owens and I.
00:14:10.000And by the way, not only do we do that, we did that the same night at the same time the defending NBA champions, Milwaukee Bucks, were playing Chicago in Milwaukee.
00:14:52.000Western values, of course, freedom of speech, discourse, dialogue, separation of powers, checks and balances, consent of the governed.
00:14:59.000Now, we are in a situation where the oligarchs, the people in charge of our society, we call them the elites, the ruling class, they're doing everything they possibly can to make sure that speech is not able to happen online.
00:15:10.000Well, Elon Musk is now trying to do something about it.
00:15:14.000Elon Musk is coming in with $40 plus billion dollars to do a tender offer of Twitter.
00:15:20.000Breaking news this morning, it looks like it's going to be that offer is going to happen.
00:15:25.000Funding secured and one of the largest asset transfers in the history of business, Cut 68.
00:17:13.000And we're just going to get, I'm going to not for anything else, then I want to be able to vote on Elon Musk doing a tender offer to take over Twitter, which I believe is fundamental for online discourse and for a free society.
00:17:25.000And if Twitter creators, I'm not going to go buy a bunch of Twitter stock.
00:17:30.000It's like, it's like going out to lunch now, $46, unfortunately.
00:17:33.000Going out to lunch is a lot cheaper than that.
00:17:35.000So I encourage, if you're interested in actually saying, what can I do?
00:17:38.000You go buy a share or two or Twitter, a tender offer, you'll get something in the mail.
00:17:42.000Oh, you'll get notified with an opportunity to vote on whether or not this deal goes through.
00:17:48.000I'm maxing out my knowledge on merger and acquisition law.
00:17:52.000But from every expert I've talked to, and I've talked to a couple billionaires in this business, just kind of texting back and forth, that all seems to check out and seems to be correct as Elon Musk now comes with the funding to do that.
00:18:16.000Elon Musk wants to change the way we tweet, but could his obsession with free speech on the platform take us down a dangerous path?
00:18:22.000Elon Musk's hostile takeover bid for Twitter.
00:18:26.000Right-wing media is celebrating Musk's bid, saying he's going to rescue free speech.
00:18:30.000You know, it's kind of funny how Elon Musk wants to buy it, but there are massive life and globe altering consequences for just letting people run wild on the thing.
00:18:41.000The media is collectively losing its mind.
00:18:43.000They're doing everything they possibly can to try and stop it.
00:18:47.000I mean, even calling Saudi princes to come in, like, yeah, let's go trust the Saudi princes on free speech.
00:18:53.000Like, you should probably sit this one out.
00:18:56.000Not exactly a pinnacle of Saudi society is freedom of speech.
00:19:00.000I encourage all of you to listen to Elon Musk's entire TED talk.
00:19:04.000And look, I've said this all on, and I think this is, you need to have fair views of things.
00:19:09.000Elon on the Neuralink thing, I don't like it.
00:19:13.000And I would love some opportunity eventually to talk to Elon Musk and have a conversation with him about this, either on air or off-air, and really kind of dive into.
00:19:23.000I mean, he obviously would make some brilliant points, I'm sure, but messing with the human mind, not something I'm okay with, not even a little bit.
00:19:31.000But the boring company to SpaceX, it's amazing.
00:19:34.000Now, Elon Musk looks like this is a tweet he put out.
00:19:38.000A social media platform's policies are good if the most extreme 10% of the left and right are equally unhappy.
00:19:46.000Dave Rubin says the problem is that the right generally wants the left to be on platforms so they can expose the lunacy.
00:19:53.000The left generally wants people banned, fired, and erased.
00:20:28.000But just the fact that, and I will acknowledge this, the fact that our tweet about that guy that thinks he's a woman that runs the health, whatever, I can never remember what title.
00:20:40.000It's like Health Czar, like Rear Admiral or something.
00:20:47.000The fact that we've even played a part in the chapter of exposing Twitter and the straw that breaks the camel's back of Elon Musk taking over Twitter has been one of just one of the most great moments of my life.
00:21:02.000Being an entrepreneur and running a business is not for the faint of heart.
00:21:12.000330 days on the road I spent last year.
00:21:14.000But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable.
00:21:23.000That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily.
00:21:26.000About 75% of people are magnesium deficient.
00:21:29.000That number might be higher among business owners and C-level professionals.
00:21:33.000That's because stress depletes magnesium levels.
00:21:35.000This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency.
00:21:40.000This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy.
00:21:45.000It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep.
00:21:48.000Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things?
00:21:52.000In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body.
00:21:56.000So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient.
00:21:59.000The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines.
00:22:11.000But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium.
00:22:14.000Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms.
00:22:20.000There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium.
00:22:22.000You must get all of them if you want to experience its calming, stress-relieving effects.
00:22:26.000That's why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough from Buy Optimizers.
00:22:30.000It's the only full organic, full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium for stress relief, better sleep all in one bottle.
00:22:38.000Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels.
00:22:43.000And how much rest did you feel when you wake up?
00:22:45.000How much more rested do you feel when you wake up?

00:23:19.000So if you were kind of going through news yesterday, you probably would have fallen victim to believing that Donald Trump stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan and Piers Morgan was just calm, cool, and collected.
00:23:33.000So Piers Morgan sat down with Donald Trump and totally misrepresented what actually happened.
00:23:40.000The real audio has now been released and shows that Piers Morgan is a liar.
00:23:45.000And one man tried to warn Donald Trump about this.
00:24:03.000Yes, I was at Mar-a-Lago two weeks ago on more of a social visit than a business visit, but always good to meet the president and exchange ideas and see what's going on.
00:24:13.000And as ever, offer my encouragement because, you know, he's a man not just of vision, but of great courage too, which is what I admire so much about him.
00:24:22.000Now, I knew that Piers Morgan was about to start a new show for Rupert Murdoch in London and also to do some work on Fox Nation in the USA too.
00:24:33.000And Morgan has for years boasted that he's got great access to Donald Trump, that Trump's a great friend, and that he's the man on the British side of the pond.
00:24:44.000He's the man, you know, who can access Trump like no other.
00:25:03.000He's used endless narcissists, endless terms of abuse.
00:25:08.000I said, please do not think this man is your friend.
00:25:12.000And I did, not because I wanted to stitch him up, because I'm sick, Charlie, of people getting close to Trump and then riding off the back of him, using and abusing him for their own advantage and to his discredit.
00:25:32.000Clearly, Trump read my dossier and was very unhappy.
00:25:35.000But then at the end, what Morgan did is the lowest thing I think anybody in journalism could do.
00:25:42.000The interview was over and we have the audio of it.
00:25:46.000And they have deliberately, willfully misedited it, used it in a promo for the show, put it on the front page of the Sun newspaper, the biggest selling newspaper in the UK.
00:25:57.000And the whole world last night believed that Trump had stormed off an interview when, in fact, the interview was over.
00:27:28.000But look, I think, I mean, of one thing I'm certain, he will never trust Piers Morgan again.
00:27:34.000It's a shame that he decided to continue with this one.
00:27:38.000I hope next time I warn him, he does actually act for what I suggest.
00:27:43.000But I mean, it raises bigger questions.
00:27:46.000I mean, you know, you would have thought that of all the media organizations, it was the ones owned by Rupert Murdoch, who might actually be friendlier towards, you know, Donald Trump.
00:27:57.000And already, Caitlin Jenner has announced that Caitlin has withdrawn from an appearance due to make on Wednesday.
00:28:05.000And I bet you there are a lot of executives at Fox today absolutely fuming at what Morgan has done, thinking, well, hey, maybe he's damaged Trump's relationship with the Murdoch Empire.
00:28:18.000And I think, to be honest with you, you know, we're all due an apology of some kind.
00:28:23.000And yet all Morgan does now, and I know we don't want to dwell on him, but all Morgan does is just go on the attack.
00:28:32.000I think what Trump needs, I think Trump needs some gatekeepers around him to really protect him from, and this is frankly just abuse, isn't it?
00:29:29.000And now we've got to make decisions about how we use it.
00:29:32.000And I think the Trump phenomenon was part of Banana.
00:29:35.000I, quite honestly, if the media and social media had played fair, if there wasn't the mass mail out of tens of billions of ballots, you know, I don't think for one moment we'd be in a position, frankly, where Joe Biden is there in the White House.
00:29:51.000In France, well, the election for president takes place this Sunday.
00:29:55.000It is probable that the incumbent and the globalist Macron will win, but he's not going to win by very much.
00:30:04.000And it's really interesting to think of just how much of an outsider Maureen Le Pen is.
00:30:10.000The fact that somebody who is completely loathed by the entirety of the establishment is kind of within, not quite, but almost within the margin of error of winning the French presidency shows you that actually the movement that I've been a part of for all these long years, the movement that you're very prominent in, actually it's a very healthy, democratic movement.
00:30:33.000And I really believe across the Western world, we are gaining traction across a broader range of countries.
00:30:41.000And it doesn't feel like it every day, but actually, Charlie, I think we're winning.
