Why is Gen Z not in the streets? Why is there not a single young person out there in protest against the left? Well, I happen to think Charlie has a big part to play in that. We also welcome in Mike Davis to go through all of the big Supreme Court wins for President Trump. Folks, the tide is turning. Common sense is returning to our country and the Article 2 powers vested in the President. We break it down and much more.

00:01:12.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:19.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:56.000All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:59.000Andrew Colvett in for the one and only Charlie Kirk.
00:02:03.000I want you guys to appreciate just how incredible it is, what the team has accomplished, what Charlie Kirk has accomplished, what the TPUSA field team has accomplished.
00:02:13.000I think we're doing about 20, 21, 22 different campus stops.
00:02:20.000Sometimes the logistics are such that we're just not able to have him in the studio or even remote to do a show.
00:02:27.000And so we appreciate your guys' understanding of that.
00:02:29.000And I just want you to see the fruit of it.
00:02:31.000The fruit is that these videos get cut up and seen by millions and millions and millions of people.
00:02:54.000We just want more people to see these debates happen where young people are getting exposed to freedom ideas and conservative ideas.
00:03:02.000And it has a parallel because over the weekend, April 5th, there was this large nationwide protest called Hands Off.
00:03:11.000Now, it's a total bought and paid for, astroturfed sort of protest.
00:03:17.000But there's a clip going around that I wanted to play for you all, and I just think it's remarkable.
00:03:23.000The clip is a young woman that is saying, hey, I'm here, and she's got her pro-Palestine headscarf on, and she's out there saying, hey, where is Gen Z?
00:03:35.000Why is Gen Z not in the streets protesting Elon Musk and Donald Trump?
00:03:41.000So I'm going to play that clip for you, and then we're going to talk about what Charlie on this show is accomplishing, you and that audience is accomplishing, and how it all ties together for a brighter future that nobody saw coming about five years ago.
00:03:55.000149. I'm at the protest right now in New York City, anti-Trump, anti-fascist protest, and I have one question.
00:04:04.000Gen Z. These people are cheering, they're talking like it's just the 60s, it's just like the 60s, and they're having conversations and walking slowly.
00:05:07.000It's baked into the calculus for them.
00:05:10.000This is the same generation that was told the only way to succeed was to put yourself into mountains of debt and get a college degree, and that was a lie.
00:05:18.000They were told you're never going to own anything, you're always going to be renters, and you're going to love it, which is a lie.
00:05:25.000Young men were told that they were toxic.
00:05:27.000Lie. Young women were told they had to be boss babes.
00:05:31.000And corporate slaves and childless and unmarried to be happy, freeze their eggs?
00:06:11.000But some of the same trends held true for me.
00:06:16.000Gen Z has parents and grandparents that inherited a rich and powerful America.
00:06:22.000The envy of the world and handed off to them a weakened country, a debt-riddled country with annual deficits in the trillions of dollars that's divided over race, ethnicity, whether or not there's two genders, and every other social science abstraction that they invented in a college laboratory that they graduated from without any debt now costs $75,000 or more a year to attend.
00:07:10.000And so I love seeing Charlie out on these college campuses changing the contours.
00:07:16.000Of the political movement in this country, a tectonic shift where everybody just assumed that young people were going to be liberal and progressive and radically so.
00:07:25.000And yet, of course, we've still got issues with young women.
00:07:29.000And there are still some radically progressive young people.
00:07:33.000It's not to say that the battle is over.
00:07:34.000And that's exactly why Charlie is going back out on the road.
00:07:37.000It's exactly why, instead of resting on our laurels, Charlie decided, hey, it's time to hit the road again and double down and triple down.
00:08:03.000There was a feature article in the New York Times that came out about a month ago.
00:08:08.000And it said how Charlie Kirk became the youth whisperer of the conservative movement.
00:08:16.000And one of the facts that is hidden in that article that is just mind-blowing is that the author of that article is a guy named Robert Draper, really celebrated, famous New York Times columnist.
00:08:35.000And what he found out from TikTok was remarkable.
00:08:38.000First, Charlie is the most trusted voice amongst young people in the country.
00:08:44.000Two, Charlie had the third most engaged TikTok in the country behind President Donald Trump, the Trump campaign, then Charlie Kirk, and then the Kamala campaign.
00:08:56.000So you guys are all a part of making this huge tectonic shift in our politics happen.
00:09:01.000And I just wanted to tell you that because I don't think he's willing to say that out loud himself, but it's a huge accomplishment.
00:09:08.000So hats off to all the teams that play a part in that.
00:09:13.000History, economics, the great works of literature.
00:09:19.000Or even if you did, maybe it's time for an enjoyable refresher.
00:09:22.000Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses, including their newest course on totalitarian novels.
00:09:29.000In this free eight-lecture course, you'll learn from Hillsdale College president Larry Arnn as he goes in-depth on four novels, 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, and That Hideous Strength.
00:09:40.000Even though these novels were written in the 1930s and 40s, they're highly relevant today as they show what a tyrannical government does to human nature.
00:09:48.000More importantly, they can show us that faith, family, and friends are worth fighting for.
00:09:53.000Maybe you read these books a long time ago in school.
00:09:55.000Maybe you've heard others talk about them, and they seem a little intimidating.
00:09:59.000Let Hillsdale College, America's greatest college, help you make the most of them.
00:10:03.000Go right now to charlieforhillsdale.com to enroll.
00:10:05.000There's no cost, and it's easy to get started.
00:10:24.000So, Mike, you know, there's been a lot of hemming and hawing and consternation and gnashing of teeth on the right as President Trump's agenda has...
00:10:33.000Continuously been thwarted by activist judges, judge shopping.
00:10:38.000We've seen a break in the dam, however, in the last two days.
00:10:43.000For our audience's sake, I think there's two big ones, but we could go deeper than that.
00:10:49.000Break down what has transpired in the last two days.
00:10:55.000And what does it mean for the Trump administration moving forward?
00:10:58.000So very quickly, President Trump campaigned on the fact that he's going to hire Elon Musk, set up the Department of Government Efficiency, cut waste, fraud, and abuse, secure our border, and get illegal immigrants, particularly foreign terrorists, the hell out of our country.
00:11:12.000President Trump is doing the unthinkable.
00:11:15.000He's doing exactly what he promised American voters he would do, and he's doing it fast.
00:11:20.000Right? And he won a broad electoral mandate.
00:11:22.000312 electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote.
00:11:31.000So these activist plaintiffs are going to these activist judges and sabotaging the president.
00:11:38.000He's not stealing Congress's Article I legislative power.
00:11:42.000He's not stealing the Supreme Court's Article 3 judicial power.
00:11:46.000He's exercising core article 2 executive power to take care that our laws are faithfully executed, to secure our country, to repel an invasion, to secure our border, to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:12:19.000And so we saw where this started because the Chief Justice and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the liberals and let Judge Ali, this guy in D.C.
00:12:31.000who just got confirmed in the lame duck session after Democrats won the White House, lost the White House in the Senate, Judge Ali, who brags he's the first Muslim, the first Arab judge in DC, ordered President Trump to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over the president's national security review to make sure, for example, we're not funding Hamas terrorists who are killing Americans under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid.
00:12:58.000Force the president to send out those checks.
00:13:01.000That only emboldens these other activist judges.
00:13:04.000They used a legal technicality that it was a temporary restraining order, which it wasn't.
00:13:09.000But because it was a temporary restraining order, according to the Chief Justice and Barrett and the three libs, it was not immediately appealable.
00:13:18.000And that's where we saw this onslaught of lawfare by these Democrat activists for the last...
00:13:33.000You finally have the Supreme Court stopping another activist judge in D.C., trying to sabotage an ongoing military operation to get terrorists.
00:13:43.000You're seeing with the Supreme Court today that these probationary employees who President Trump fired because they don't have tenure, 16,000 of them, an activist judge said that Trump had to rehire, the Supreme Court stopped that.
00:13:56.000So you're finally seeing the Supreme Court feeling the political pressure and putting these activist judges in their place.
00:14:04.000So I want to get into the Amy Coney Barrett.
00:14:08.000Now, we just heard Caroline Levitt in the press conference was asked about this, whether or not the Trump administration was disappointed.
00:15:10.000Justice Scalia, she has solid conservative credentials.
00:15:14.000I think that those home protests by the Democrats during the Dobbs decision rattled her.
00:15:21.000She's a rattled law professor and, you know, sometimes law professors...
00:15:27.000They overthink things and they don't have good judgment.
00:15:30.000For example, with the TRO case, where Professor Amy Coney Barrett thought she was grading a civil procedure exam and said, well, this Judge Ali called it a temporary restraining order, so therefore it's not immediately appealable.
00:15:45.000Any judge who had significant experience and good judgment would never have been duped by that, but Professor Amy Coney Barrett got duped by that.
00:15:56.000That Professor Barrett has Justice Kagan with her claws in her.
00:16:00.000Justice Kagan is the North Korean handler for the Democrats.
00:16:06.000She's the one who tries to get her claws in these Republican justices.
00:17:52.000So, Dana, this is a significant win for the administration.
00:17:54.000The fourth one that they have notched from the Supreme Court in just the past few days.
00:17:59.000Here, this decision is focused on thousands of fired probationary federal workers.
00:18:05.000Now, this decision will allow the government to keep those individuals off the payroll while the larger questions about these firings are litigated.
00:18:14.000Now, this was decided not on a constitutional issue or really on the merits.
00:18:18.000It was decided on something called standing, which is whether the individuals who brought this lawsuit had the right to do so.
00:18:24.000And here the court says that the nine nonprofit organizations did not have standing in this case.
00:19:59.000If a contractor gets fired, their recourse is to go to the Court of Federal Claims under the Jones Act.
00:20:05.000It is not to go to a Democrat activist judge.
00:20:09.000And get a so-called temporary restraining order with a nationwide injunction that essentially sets policy that takes over the president's executive powers and takes over Congress's legislative powers.
00:20:21.000The judges are not supposed to operate that.
00:20:24.000They're supposed to be the least dangerous branch.
00:20:26.000They have a modest but crucial rule, and that is to decide cases or controversies for the parties in front of them who have redressable claims.
00:20:39.000One of the best points I think that's being made and being brought up with these national injunctions is that at a lower district court level, the ruling should be limited to the parties named.
00:20:51.000It should not be extracted and extrapolated out to the national legal precedents because there's one court in the land.
00:21:02.000In the Constitution that has national jurisdiction, that would be the Supreme Court.
00:21:06.000That's the only court, actually, in Article 3. It says Congress can therefore then make other courts and designate other courts to handle other jurisdictions.
00:21:15.000But they serve at the sanctioning of Congress.
00:21:20.000So it's a fascinating legal discussion, Mike.
00:21:22.000I want to know what, of all of these suggestions that are being floated out there of how to reform the courts, which one you prefer, right?
00:21:30.000I mean, Senator Mike Lee has this idea that instead of judges, you get a random selection of three federal court judges that would then, so you don't get to pick.
00:21:40.000You just get assigned, right, in a lottery system.
00:21:43.000I think that's fairly interesting because as it is right now, Mike, and I think you'd agree, one district court judge has more unilateral power.
00:21:52.000...than a Supreme Court justice, because they have to rule one of nine.
00:23:26.000Shouldn't you be looking into doing that, too?
00:23:33.000There's a Well, fortunately, I don't have a magic wand.
00:23:53.000I have Senator Mike Lee and Chuck Grassley and John Thune and their staffs.
00:23:57.000And I'm working very closely with them on these pieces of legislation along with House members.
00:24:03.000Look, when the federal judiciary loses its legitimacy, it loses everything.
00:24:10.000And I sent pretty public warnings to the Chief Justice that if you don't get your judicial house in order, Congress is going to do it for you.
00:24:17.000And I think the Chief Justice got the message, as we've seen with the last four.
00:24:47.000And if they would just do that, we would not have to reform these courts.
00:24:52.000But until then, what I think needs to happen, and I'm working very closely with the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary Committee on this, along with leadership, is aggressive oversight, impeachment probes for people like Jeb Boesberg, who egregiously violate the law and put American allied lives in danger, cutting $2 billion in the federal judiciary's $10 billion annual budget because Judge Ali let $2 billion go out the door to fund his Hamas terrorist buddies
00:25:26.000I think that we should eliminate The D.C. Superior Court, which I think is unconstitutional under the appointments clause because the president doesn't get to pick the judges he wants, and then the D.C. District Court can take the D.C. Superior Court's jurisdiction on street crimes and local D.C. disputes and then randomly draw judges from around the country to handle all other national cases in D.C. because we have Obama and Biden radicals along with Republican wimps.
00:25:59.000All right, I'm going to change gears here really quick, but that's a very thought-out answer, and I think we're going to clip it and make sure the right people get it, because I think that was well thought through, Mike.
00:26:09.000But I'm going to change gears here really quick.
00:26:10.000There's a breaking story out of L.A. If you could throw up image 166 here.
00:26:17.000A 43-year-old Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino And Andrew,
00:27:13.000Well, I think that, number one, this...
00:27:15.000This murderer, this child rapist and murderer, this pedophile needs to be brutally executed in public to send a very powerful message that if you're going to harm kids, if you're gonna rape kids and murder kids, we are gonna viciously...
00:27:31.000Brutally execute you as a powerful deterrence and retribution.
00:27:35.000But I would also say this, to these cities, to these nonprofit organizations, it is a federal crime to harbor illegal aliens, right?
00:27:45.000And so keep doing what you're doing and see what comes from Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Kash Patel and the others in the Justice Department.
00:27:54.000you may end up being in prison for harboring these illegal immigrants.
00:28:19.000And, you know, it's like this El Salvadorian guy that got sent to the prison in El Salvador.
00:28:25.000He was an MS-13 gang member, but he got to stay because he made up some tribe story about how he'd be in physical harm if he went back to El Salvador.
00:28:35.000Anyway, we got to stop allowing those loopholes to happen.
