In this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie Kirk is joined by Josh McBroom (D-Naperville, IL) to talk about social media and how Zuckerberg misled the U.S. Senate. Plus, the latest on the latest in the Biden/NBC/NBCU deal, and why the NFL is losing ground to college football on TV.
00:00:57.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:45.000We have some members of the 168, obviously, Tyler Boyer, who is there.
00:01:49.000And the RNC is going to try to get an approval for a new line of credit, for a new line of credit to establish some borrowing.
00:01:58.000Tara Saravitis has tweeted out: quote, the RNC is broke nine months before the election, hemorrhaging donors, while Biden's main pack is shattering spending and fundraising records, a $250 million ad buy that is buying up critical ad slots ahead of the election so they can be purchased by the GOP later.
00:02:17.000So they can't be purchased by the GOP later.
00:02:23.000Once you own a piece of property and you decide to hold on to that property, you own it.
00:02:29.000So Joe Biden and his team, they're buying up very valuable advertising time.
00:02:35.000So for example, right now, the Biden team is so smart.
00:02:37.000The Biden PAC, regardless who the next nominee is, they're going to NBC and they're sitting down with NBC and they say, hey, here's $75 million.
00:02:46.000We want all of the prime advertising they're the Olympics.
00:02:49.000We want every single Sunday night football ad in Sunday that's slotted for political.
00:02:55.000And we want every single one of the Sunday night football ad in October.
00:02:58.000And what NBC does is they give them a bundle discount.
00:03:02.000Okay, you're going to front 75 million bucks and you're already ready to buy summertime and fall ads.
00:04:28.000There's no exact formula for it, but you have to be at like 60 or 70% of for every dollar that the bad guys spend to at least be within the margin.
00:04:36.000Now, thankfully, Donald Trump gets a lot of earned media.
00:04:46.000But if Republicans end up getting spent six to one, eight to one on TV.
00:04:51.000So let's pretend XYZ billionaire, and there's a lot of great ones that are patriots come out and they say, I want to spend $250 million to elect Donald Trump.
00:05:36.000All of our Sunday night football inventory is gone.
00:05:39.000If you want, you could do the soap opera reruns at 2 p.m.
00:05:45.000And they're like, yeah, well, we'll take as much of that as we can get.
00:05:48.000If we don't get our act together quickly, everybody, there will be no real estate left for us to be able to compete on TV.
00:05:54.000And yes, you have to also, I mean, thankfully, this is not as much of a problem on social media where some money needs to be spent on SEO, but the Democrats are so smart.
00:06:03.000They have thousands of full-time ballot chasers.
00:06:05.000And then they say, let's try to buy all the prime real estate as early as possible.
00:06:09.000So Joe Biden is $250 million ad buy buying up critical slots ahead of the election so they can't be purchased by the Republicans later.
00:06:16.000Meanwhile, Trump's main pack raised $43 million in the second half of last year and was forced to spend $50 million of his campaign funds on legal fees.
00:06:38.000Two swing state Republican parties are bankrupt as well.
00:06:41.000And bottom line, there is no national get out the vote campaign, no national get-out-the-vote campaign in at least two swing states by the state party.
00:06:47.000And GOP voters have no idea how screwed we are.
00:06:49.000I've never seen anything like this, Tara Saravitis says.
00:08:00.000This is front lines, grassroots, people that were just coming up to the great Ben Berquam on Real America's Voice and saying, Hey, we now have marching orders.
00:08:10.000So, how do we overcome the dysfunction, the Democrat oligarchy?
00:08:13.000Because Rana is controlled opposition.
00:08:32.000I'm here because I've been to an RNC training.
00:08:35.000It is nothing like what they did at Turning Point.
00:08:37.000They're giving us actionable things to actually do and win, which the RNC is not interested in doing for some reason.
00:08:43.000I am the chairman of the Forsyth County Georgia Republican Party, and I am here because we have been lacking on tools and support from the RNC from a national level down to the county level.
00:08:55.000We have people that are ready to get involved.
00:09:01.000And so this has been a great opportunity for us to network with people and learn and just really fill up our toolbox with things we can take back home and get out the vote.
00:09:24.000I've learned more in one day than I have in two years.
00:09:27.000Okay, what are two or three things you learned that you're doing?
00:09:32.000So they have the Turning Point data people have dug down to precinct level six precincts of mine that had target voters that were likely voters in 2016, 2020 that did not vote, and they're Republicans down to 25,000 voters.
00:09:47.000I can hit those six precincts now with my walk list.
00:09:49.000I've never gotten that dug down from the RPOF or the RNC.
00:12:07.000Technically, the law says you have to have equal time and equal opportunity, but these are super PACs.
00:12:12.000So that's what's interesting, is that the super PACs are able to deploy 527 outside money.
00:12:18.000And people forget there's a really rich history here.
00:12:21.000Barack Obama actually set the precedent for the modern outside money beast that we live through.
00:12:29.000Did you know that prior to Barack Hussein Obama running for president in 2008, every single presidential election post-Nixon was funded by the U.S. taxpayers?
00:12:38.000Post-Nixon, every single presidential election and the campaign was funded by U.S. taxpayers, and it still can be.
00:12:47.000By federal law, the major party running for the U.S. presidency has at their, I think it's like $600 million.
00:12:56.000You guys can look at the exact number.
00:13:00.000They could get a check from the U.S. Treasury.
00:13:01.000Now, John McCain took the money from the federal government, but Obama ran the numbers.
00:13:06.000He said, I think I can raise more money than that.
00:13:34.000They are way ahead of us on ad squatting and getting the prime real estate so that they are going to flood the airwaves.
00:13:41.000This is why I say, stop looking at these polls, everybody.
00:13:44.000These polls are not an accurate picture.
00:13:46.000Do you think that all of a sudden Donald Trump's going to be up six points in a poll where every single advertisement is, and Donald Trump wants to jail women and put some sort of nonsense they're going to say, or Donald Trump wants to come after women and they're doing all these sorts of different ops and cultural phenomenons.
00:14:00.000And this is why we have to get the boring stuff figured out, the machinery figured out.
00:14:06.000And if the Democrats are really serious about winning, don't be surprised.
00:14:49.000You look at the report that Jennifer Van Law came on the program yesterday.
00:14:52.000The Democrats don't spend nearly close to what the Republicans spent on office supplies on limousines between limousines, flow arrangements, media booking, and office supplies come up millions of dollars, millions of dollars of precious, precious resources.
00:15:07.000And the Democrats, Democrats spend much more on GOTV texting, on data file.
00:15:13.000And so let me tell you partially what we did and why this meeting was so important in Vegas is, you know, we've raised money from donors and we fulfill the mandate that donors give us and we communicate, hey, we need to spend some money on getting this data and figuring out.
00:15:26.000So we have a whole war room, a data war room.
00:15:28.000We're going to do a show live from our war room.
00:15:30.000It's just right in your run broadcasting here.
00:15:59.000So we sit down with, for example, the Waukesha guy knows his stuff, but it was even a great conversation.
00:16:05.000We sit down with Terry, who's the Waukesha chair.
00:16:08.000We say, hey, here's the 15 precincts, otherwise known as 1,000 people data, 1,000 people neighborhoods that you have to do better in, that you have low propensity Republicans that you need to run up to score it.
00:16:20.000Or the Hillsborough County in Florida or Maricopa County in Arizona or Pinal County in Arizona or Clark County in Nevada or Washoe County in Nevada.
00:16:52.000And then they'll walk away and raise a bunch of money from donors and have limousines and off supplies and Lululemon and flower arrangements.
00:17:28.000And Relief Factor was developed by Doctors Searching for a better alternative for pain.
00:17:33.000Relief Factor uses a unique and proven formula of natural ingredients like turmeric and many others to help you get out of pain, to reduce or eliminate the everyday aches and pains you're experiencing.

00:18:32.000I do know that there's a lot of people that do care, and I think we live in a compassionate community.
00:18:40.000So, you know, before we go down the road of, you know, doing what, you know, following suit on some of these other cities are taking action on, you know, my idea would be, let's find out.
00:19:56.000You know, since I made the proposal and, you know, I was being sincere.
00:20:03.000I mean, I live in a town that voted for Biden by 20 points.
00:20:08.000And, you know, some of my liberal friends actually have signs in their yards that say, you know, no human is illegal and love is love is love.
00:23:39.000And you kind of in some ways say, hey, you know, you have the, we all seen the signs, right?
00:23:42.000Hate has no home and, you know, no human being is illegal.
00:23:47.000When you, when you said that, and I got to, you said it really fairly.
00:23:50.000You said, look, we're hearing from constituents on both sides, and we now have a sign-up sheet.
00:23:55.000Are you surprised that nobody has taken you up on it?
00:23:57.000Because there seems to be a lot of chatter around helping others, but or do they want others to help others and then, but not in their living room?
00:24:07.000Yeah, and I'm not surprised, but it was a legitimate challenge.
00:24:11.000Like, I would almost, I would respect someone if they said, I'll sign that shit.
00:25:06.000Like, I don't think any of this is compassionate.
00:25:08.000I don't think it's love, love, love, like your sign says in the yard.
00:25:11.000And I'm sorry if I'm, you know, being provocative and it's putting you in an uncomfortable situation, but we got a major problem right now.
00:25:21.000And Josh, so on the city council, some of the other, let's just say, I know that it's a non-political thing.
00:25:26.000It's nonpartisan or it's supposed to be, but some of your counterparts on the city council that let's just say are more sympathetic with using city services.
00:26:04.000They had their village meeting the other night.
00:26:06.000And I don't know if this may, I don't know this mayor, and maybe he's kind of doing what I'm doing, but you know, Pritzker, the state is floating money now.
00:27:33.000And this is the most important thing in what you just did, Josh.
00:27:35.000And you just did this on a national scale.
00:27:37.000And you did it so neutrally and you did it so fairly, honestly.
00:27:41.000You're like, hey, the values of this city, 60-40, are generally, you know, for open borders and for allowing, but what about in your spare bedroom?
00:27:54.000And to date, not a single taxpayer of Naperville has said, you know what, Josh, bring them in.
00:28:01.000No, no, once the city decided that they're not going to move forward with the sign-up sheet, they were kind of like, hey, Josh, let's get this out of the news.
00:28:07.000We got a couple of emails that came in and said, hey, can I sign up after we decided not to have the sign-up sheet?
00:28:11.000But yeah, I mean, if there was demand for it, we would have done it, right?
00:28:14.000If I had 200 homes and we're like, this is a great idea, let's do it.
00:28:19.000And honestly, I would respect someone who votes for open, I wouldn't agree, and I would think it's kind of really bad for the society, but at least there'd be some consistency.
00:28:30.000Hey, I don't want a southern border, and now you're able to get 700 square feet or 1,000 square feet of my mansion, right?
00:28:39.000And it seems as if these are the people that call us xenophobic and they call us terrible for having borders.
00:28:46.000But hey, you're not allowed in my gated community, but hate has no home here.
00:29:28.000I want you guys to check it out right now.
00:29:31.000We've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families.
00:29:38.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with the folks at the Herzog Foundation.
00:29:45.000They are the trusted source of American K-12 private education with a remarkable suite of resources for parents and grandparents.
00:29:50.000From their online publication, The Line to the new podcast, Making the Leap, Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents.
00:29:57.000To learn more about how your family and faith and community can flourish through a quality Christian education, go to Herzogfoundation.com.
00:31:11.000This is the same thing as if the tobacco companies, the same exact thing, everybody, if the tobacco companies would come up and they say there are no negative health effects from smoking.
00:31:26.000Why are we listening to big tech saying that there is no link between young people and social media?
00:31:33.000It'd be as if the major agricultural company is saying that high fructose corn syrup is good for you or for them to say that there's no negative side effects to taking, you know, benzodiazepines or Zoloft or Prozac.
00:32:02.000With so much of our lives spent on mobile devices and social media, it's important to look into the effects on teen mental health and well-being.
00:32:12.000Mental health is a complex issue, and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes.
00:34:49.000Suicide percentage rates changed since 2003.
00:34:52.000Look what happened with female and teens right near 2014.
00:34:56.000And Zuckerberg says with a straight face, oh, you know, there is no causal link.
00:35:01.000Any scientist who says that is bought and paid for by the big tech lobby the same way that scientists were bought by big tobacco in the 70s or 80s.
