Exploring the Myth of the 'Gender Wage Gap' + The Possibility of UFOs?
On this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie recaps the past two nights on the Turning Point USA Gen Free campus tour with optimism as he highlights the priorities of the next generation of conservatism. Walking through the threats of big tech, illegal & legal immigration, and Democrats' malicious attempts to destroy our elections. From there, he unpacks the insanity surrounding Megan Rapinoe's visit to the White House and debunks her flailing attempt at victimhood with the facts surrounding the mythical 'Gender Wage Gap.' And finally, transitioning from that blatant bit of progressive folklore to another longstanding mystery, Charlie tackles the re-emergence of UFO's in our news cycle as new data from the DOD raises many interesting questions.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maybe you got some stimulus money and you say, hey, I don't need this money.
I want to give it back.
Well, maybe the place for that money is charliekirk.com slash support to help us reach millions of young people every single month.
If you're able to do it, awesome.
If not, we're going to keep on posting this stuff, but it's made possible by those that help support it.
Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
And if you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, which is the nation's largest student movement where we play offense with a sense of urgency to win America's culture war, go to tpusa.com, tpusa.com.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His 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.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
We started this week in Dallas, and we went to Boise, Oklahoma City, Missouri.
And we will be speaking tonight in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky.
We are speaking to packed rooms, standing room only, young people, college students, high school students at Turning Point USA, about our country.
Where do we go from here?
Is there any good news out there to share?
And there is.
There's a lot to be optimistic about.
People are waking up.
People are engaged.
In fact, last evening in Springfield, Missouri, I think we had to turn people away.
It was unbelievable.
We had standing room only.
We had people at the back of the room, some phenomenal questions.
And I could tell you from Barnstorm of the country the last couple of days, the grassroots of the conservative movement is not given up.
They're engaged.
They're focused.
They understand the threats ahead of us.
And I can tell you that the top two issues facing the conservative movement right now are election integrity and election reform and big tech censorship.
Those are the two biggest issues.
At every single event that we have done, we get multiple questions about how we conduct our elections in our country.
Now, the Democrats, they're not trying to fix our elections.
They're trying to fix our elections.
Fix being put in quotation marks.
They're trying to make it so that every single human being gets automatically registered to vote, whether they're in prison, whether they're not a citizen of our country.
That's what they're going to try to do through HR1.
So that is what's happening in Congress is the exact opposite of actually what needs to be solved in our country.
And then, of course, as I mentioned, big tech censorship.
Young people in particular see that a small group of companies have way too much power.
They have too much power to influence the public narrative, the conversation, the dissemination of information, our capacity to communicate, to have dialogues with each other, to be able to process information as we know it.
And you look at this last election cycle.
You were not allowed to even spread, share, or sometimes even view a story on Twitter around Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
Hunter Biden, where we actually came in contact with his laptop, we saw firsthand emails that Tony Bob Yelinski, a business partner with Joe Biden, who corroborated the 10% for the big man, that's Joe Biden.
Those are the top two issues facing the conservative movement.
And every single politician out there needs to have answers and solutions to both of those.
There's a lot happening in the country right now.
And I'll say the third biggest issue on top of that is immigration, both legal and illegal immigration, and the crisis happening on the southern border.
Let's go to Cut 51, Jen Saki, who is confronted about the Biden administration continuing to block press from viewing the border patrol facilities.
Cut 51.
Follow up on the question on the border.
The access being granted today for the pool is of a facility that is aspirational of where you want to move these children.
What about access to the facilities where there is overcrowding and there is an actual problem?
Why was this one chosen over those?
We're also open to providing access there.
And this is just the first step in the process of providing greater access to the media.
And when would that decision be made?
You said earlier this week that you would be working on access.
Is this the only access or will that be coming?
I would consider it's ongoing and we wanted to provide pool coverage, as you all know, who are in the television field of television that allows for a video camera to provide access to all the networks.
We felt that would be a good first step and we're looking forward to continuing to engage about how to provide increased access.
One of the least transparent administrations in American history.
Could you imagine if Kaylee McEnany, Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders would have given that answer?
Oh, yeah, we'll show it to you guys in due time.
I mean, you guys know what's happening.
That's the essence of what she's saying.
You remember the cover of Time magazine that had a picture of Donald Trump looking down at a two-year-old girl that said, welcome to America?
Now, the very same thing that outraged the left is happening right now in the southern border.
The media is actually starting to ask questions about this.
Because the media has to try to keep their profits stable with Donald Trump exiting center stage.
The media is trying to figure out a way forward.
Let's go to Cut 52.
It continues that dialogue.
Do you agree, though, that you've chosen the facility that is the aspirational facility as opposed to the problem at this moment?
Well, I would say we all agree that the Border Patrol facilities are not places where children should be.
Children should be moving more quickly through those facilities.
That is what our policy central focus is right now, as you know, Jeff.
And there are also, it's also becoming a public health concern because of the number of kids who are moving through those facilities and the fact.
Why not show those to the public?
We will, and we are working with the Border Patrol and with DHS to determine how we can do that.
This is not a set of circumstances that the Biden administration was prepared for.
You can tell Jensaki is a little bit taken off guard that the media is actually starting to ask very precise questions about their handling of the southern border crisis.
You notice that Jensaki said there, she said, oh, yeah, they have to move through the process so they can just gain access to America.
One of the biggest issues of what's happening on the southern border is that every person there in the southern border has been given an invitation to enter America.
We even have tape that shows that.
That someone was asked by ABC News, would you be coming here if it was not for Joe Biden?
They said, no, of course not.
Donald Trump fixed the border crisis.
And levels of crossing on the southern border are at historic levels.
Here's the tape.
Play tape.
You have tried to do this when Donald Trump was president.
Definitely not.
Definitely.
We had the chance.
You know, we used to watch the news, and I definitely won't do this.
So did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?
Basically.
Basically.
I mean, she asks a very direct question.
Did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?
Basically.
Basically.
That's Martha Radditz.
What's happening on the southern border? is not going to get better anytime soon.
Joe Biden is going to have to make a decision very soon whether he is going to admit to the American people that he does not believe in a southern border.
He believes it's merely a suggestion or a recommendation.
He does not believe in a border wall.
He does not believe in border security.
So as we are here right now, if this situation goes unchanged, and all indications point to that, we will have millions of illegals cross into our country in the coming years.
Millions.
And that's their goal.
In fact, the front page of Breitbart.com shows that 42 million people want to gain entry into the United States the next couple of years.
42 million people, and that's from Gallup.
42 million.
The CEO of Gallup posted a friendly warning for President Joe Biden.
Roughly 42 million south of Texas want to migrate into the United States.
Basically, an entire civilization wants to come into America.
And the Democrats are perfectly fine with this.
The Democrats know that if that happens, they can remake America in their image.
Jim Clifton, the chairman and CEO of the Gallup Polling Company, posted the warning March 24th as Biden struggles to deal with the migration wave unleashed by him and his pro-migration deputies.
This will change America forever.
Do you know how much you need to save to have a comfortable retirement?
The average retirement savings for families across the country is $255,000.
If you are using these averages as a goal for your retirement, let me be blunt.
You are not on the right track.
Even $1 million will not be enough by the time you retire because of inflation.
Retirement is not one size fits all.
How much should you save depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to pursue after retirement.
But remember that inflation should be factored in.
The $1 million you saved 40 years ago is worth less than half now.
So invest in assets that store the value of your investment.
That's the key to diversifying your portfolio.
And there's nothing better than gold.
I'm a big believer in this.
Do you know that if you invested $1 million in gold 40 years ago, you'd be sitting on $50 million today?
That could afford any lifestyle you want right now.
I know you've got questions, and Noble Gold is trustworthy resource for answers.

Governor Ron DeSantis continues to be a phenomenal leader, and other governors are taking notice.
I spoke to a couple governors in recent days, and they're going to start to follow the lead of Governor Ron DeSantis.
We've talked about critical race theory and the woke industrial complex many times here on this program.
In fact, at our events at Turning Point USA the last couple days, people are very interested in this topic.
They see it in their curriculum.
They see it in their schools.
They see it in everything that they come in contact with.
So let's play tape here.
Ron DeSantis, who is talking about the importance of revamping all school curriculum to teach the true history of our country without critical race theory.
Play tape.
I do think we need to rediscover in our K through 12 system the founding of the country.
What makes the country unique?
Constitution, our founding fathers, some of the great figures throughout our history, whether it's a Lincoln or an MLK or a Reagan winning the Cold War.
But when you do that, it's got to be true and solid and factual.
And you can't let it become infected with left-wing ideology like critical race theory.
Critical race theory is basically teaching people to hate our country, hate each other.
It's divisive, and it's basically an identity politics version of Marxism.
So I don't think it has any place in the classroom, certainly shouldn't be funded by tax dollars.
So as we're doing this bold civics initiative, which is important, I think people like that, but I think a lot of people look at it and say, well, okay, they better be teaching the right stuff.
So we're going to have a depoliticized curriculum.
We're not going to let that stuff in there.
And I think that that's going to serve students well in the state of Florida for years to come.
Depoliticized curriculum.
Now, mind you, Governor Ron DeSantis is saying that as he represents one of the most diverse states in the country.
That's amazing when you look at it.
And Ron DeSantis and his approval ratings continue to go up.
He is taking a stand against the ideology that is infecting every major institution in our country.
That's what courage looks like.
You know, I had somebody ask me that at our campus stop a couple days ago.
They said, Charlie, what is courage?
Courage is doing the right thing when you do not know the end result.
It's the eighth most diverse state.
That's top 10.
Top 10.
That's still a big deal.
That the governor of the eighth most diverse state in the country, racially diverse state, is taking a stand against critical race theory.
And then all the expected people in the chattering class are coming up against Governor Ron DeSantis and calling him a bigot and a racist, when in reality, it's the opposite of that.
This is a winning issue for Republicans.
The more parents and moms learn about what critical race theory actually is, the less they want it in their schools and the more they want their leaders to stand up against it.
Critical race theory teaches your children that America is inherently racist.
In fact, every one of these speeches I'm giving, I'm trying to give a little bit of a different speech tonight.
My speech will be five lies you are taught about America.
That's going to be the, I mean, we're going to go in other directions as well, but that's going to be the essence of my speech.
The five biggest lies taught about America.
And one of them is that America was founded on slavery, not freedom.
America was founded on freedom, not slavery.
We're going to prove that tonight.
The other one, that America's a racist country.
We're going to walk through these lies, and we need to do that deliberately.
And I find inspiration from Ron DeSantis and his courage.
There he is going on cable television saying, we need to rediscover the heroism of the founding fathers.
Where's that been from our leaders the last year as monuments are taken down, as buildings are renamed?
And generally, Republicans have talked a good game on this.
But Ron DeSantis has something to lose, and he continues to do the right thing.
That's what courage looks like.
Get involved in your school board races, in your textbook curriculum, and ask questions: is critical race theory and this wokeism being taught to my children?
And if it is, I'm not going to tolerate it.
In the next segment, we're going to talk about another lie that is taught to our young people, which is the gender-wage pay gap with Megan Rapineau, a soccer star who visited Joe Biden and had nothing good to say about our country, despite being our country being very good to her.
And it's another lie that our young people are taught quite often, which is that women earn dramatically less than men.
It's the gender-wage pay gap.
We've not talked about this in quite some time here on the Charlie Kirk Show, but we're going to get right into it and tell you the truth.
In fact, that was one of our first episodes ever.
Megan Rapineau, who is a soccer player, pretty talented one.
And so she's an activist.
She has never had anything nice to say about America.
And she had a summit with Joe Biden.
And here's what she had to say.
Play tape.
Win four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals for the United States.
And despite those wins, I've been devalued.
I've been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman.
And I've been told that I don't deserve any more than less because I am a woman.
You see, despite all the wins, I'm still paid less than men who do the same job that I do.
Okay.
First of all, let's get into this.
Megan Rapineau says that she does the same job that men do.
That's not true.
Men are competing at a higher athletic level than Megan Rapineau.
People like watching men's sports more than women's sports, including me.
My fiancé was a woman college basketball player.
I have a lot of respect for women that play in sports.
I think women's sports should be protected, not obliterated.
But men's sports are far more popular.
Why?
Well, because men are more athletic.
They have higher levels of testosterone.
They have more muscle mass.
They tend to be bigger.
And therefore, they're able to achieve a level of play, whether it be soccer, basketball, baseball, that is at a higher level of athletic excellence.
Therefore, for a viewer, that is more enjoyable to watch.
It's as if you were saying, Charlie, do you enjoy watching high school basketball?
Yeah, I guess.
I like if I know who's playing and if it's at a high level, but I'm not going to go watch high school basketball on television unless it's a top recruit.
The sport just moves too slow.
The shooting percentages are low.
And so Megan Rapineau is lying to you.
First of all, no one has devalued or disrespected or dismissed her.
We were all cheering for her and her team to go win the World Cup and win a gold medal.
Who is actually dismissing or devaluing you?
And so what she's really trying to say is that I'm a woman who plays in a sport that's not as popular as men, and it's a different sport.
It might be a similar activity, but men's sports is different than women's sports.
This is something that drives the left absolutely insane.
And she says that she was paid less because she's a woman.
So I'm just going to venture a guess here.
I have no, and producer Andrew's right here, that women's beach volleyball is more popular than men's beach volleyball.
Just probably a guess.
I could be wrong.
There are certain things that women get paid more for in athletics.
It's not because you're a woman, Megan.
It's because your fellow athletes are not as athletic as men.
Therefore, it's not as enjoyable to watch.
Sorry.
It's a little bit slower.
Don't score as much.
And I don't like soccer that much anyway.
I watch the World Cup every four years.
Now, everything I'm saying is totally politically incorrect.
It's a political incorrect fly zone, which is exactly why it must be talked about because Megan Rapineau is lying to you.
First of all, she's made tons of money.
She's a multi-millionaire, and she's on the cover of every magazine.
She signs endorsement deals.
And we have to act as if she's a victim because she's a world champion and Olympic gold medalist.
But this is exactly what the left does: they play the oppression Olympics.
Feel sorry for me because I'm a woman.
But then I asked the question: what is a woman anyway?
I thought that men and women don't exist.
I thought gender was non-binary and you could shift between the two genders.
This goes to a deeper point, though, that Megan Rapineau is lying about, which is the gender-wage pay gap.
Now, if we had a responsible media in our country, they would tell you the truth about this, but we don't.
Do you know that women in their early 20s are out-earning men in their early 20s?
This is according to Fortune magazine by Valentina Zaaria.
The average wage gap between men and women for women in their 20s actually favors young women.
So the sloppy statistic that is used quite often is that men earn 21% more than women.
Do you know that doesn't count or factor in education, degree selection, how long they've been in the workforce?
When those things are factored in, the wage gap nearly disappears.
In fact, women outearn men.
There's also some other reasons that play into this.
Women are less likely to ask for a raise from their boss.
And women make a decision in their late 20s and early 30s to voluntarily exit the workforce to go have children.
That's when the most promotions and raises happen when you're trying to climb the corporate ladder or trying to build a business or when you're trying to hit that inflection point, late 20s, early 30s.
That's when your career is at its most consequential point, where you have five or six years under your belt.
You have a lot of energy.
You have a lot of aspiration.
You have a lot of drive.
And women voluntarily get out of the workforce to have children.
And that's a good thing.
But then a lot of those women will re-enter the workforce when they're 36 and 37, 38, and they'll look at their fellow workmates who are men that a decade ago they were at the same level at, and all of a sudden they're CEO and they say, oh, it's because of sexism that he's a CE.
No, you left the workforce.
In fact, the women that stay in the workforce and decide not to have children, they actually do better than men.
They're very unhappy because they have a biological reason to have children.
That's Jordan Peterson's argument for media matters that might try to misrepresent what I'm saying, but it's true.
Clinical data shows that.
Psychological data shows that there is a biological drive to have children.
Now, there's obviously exceptions, producer Andrew is saying to me.
If you look into this as well, do you know that there are seven places where women earn more than men?
Should we close this gap?
Do you know that in Shambly, Georgia, women earn more than men?
Lake Worth, Florida, women earn more than men.
Plainfield, New Jersey, women earn more than men.
Trenton, New Jersey, women earn more than men.
Inglewood, California, the village of Hempstead, New York, and Prince George County, Maryland, women earn more than men.
So there's plenty of places across the country where this wage gap does not exist.
According to USA Today by Amy Pitchy, this was three weeks ago.
More women are now out earning their husbands.
USA Today, this was three weeks ago this was published.
With women now comprising more than half the U.S. workforce, it's perhaps no surprise that another seismic shift is happening in American homes.
A growing share of women are now the family's breadwinners.
So International Women's Day was March 8th, and Megan Rapineau is trying to convince you that women are not able to earn the same as men in our country.
The wage gap is a complete and total lie.
Do you know that women are more likely to study degrees in college that do not result in high wage earning long term?
For example, elementary education, psychology and communications.
Men are more likely to study business, finance, technology, engineering, and math, which have a higher likelihood of long-term wage growth and career development.
You look at the top five majors, high-income majors, meaning degrees that have the highest likelihood of you producing a high wage long term.
Men dominate those by almost 80%.
By almost 80%, they dominate those.
Actually, let's go to Cut 63.
This is Joe Biden saying women can do anything a man can do, if not better.
Cut 63.
There's not a single thing a man can do that a woman can't do as well or better.
Not a single thing.
Okay, so that is what is called an overgeneralization.
I think women are better at a lot of things than men.
I think women are better listeners.
I think women are better at reading people.
I think women are better at raising children than men.
I think that women are a lot more careful than men.
They're less likely to get in car accidents, less likely to declare bankruptcy.
They make better students because our entire education system is feminized.
But I also think that men are better at some things than women.
For example, being a lumberjack, just very physically intensive.
It is.
You know, it's actually one of the most dangerous professions in the country.
I mean this with no kidding.
Being a lobsterman is something that I think men are better than women.
That is no joke, by the way.
You go spend time in Maine with lobstermen.
You want to talk about guys that work 20-hour days.
In fact, a lot of those people get into cocaine and they get into heroin because it's so incredibly encompassing.
There are some things that men are better at than women, and there are some things that women are better at than men, which is so funny to hear Joe Biden even use the term men and women.
So I thought it was sexist to say that.
No, I thought that it was, I thought you're not even allowed to categorize people.
What is gender, by the way?
Anyone can, we have a man who thinks he's a woman who's our new health and human secretary, assistant of health and human secretary.
We're getting some compliments here.
People emailing me at freedom at charliekirk.com.
They love the political, correct, no-fly zone.
So we just go right into it.
This is the sort of conversations we need to have in our country.
And so, and by the way, Joe Biden, if women can do everything that men can do, why don't you step down and allow your woman vice president to govern the country?
What are you?
Some sort of bigoted sexist?
They're going to use all this stuff against him eventually.
Just wait.
Wait till Joe Biden gets robe speared.
Just wait.
And they might not know what that is.
French Revolution, Jacobins, the guy who led it, who actually invented the guillotine, a guy named Robe Speer.
He was eventually killed by the beast that he created, which was the French Revolution mob.
They cut his head off with a guillotine and they cheered for 10 minutes after they did that.
When the left creates a beast, that beast will eventually devour you.
So Megan Rapineau is an ungrateful activist.
She's always so angry.
You're a multi-millionaire.
Yeah, she's got the pink hair.
Whatever.
Fine.
She just looks like she's right off of Berkeley.
But instead, Megan Rapineau's position should be this.
And this is the solution to this.
This is what bothers me.
Megan Rapineau should be saying, you know what?
I've dealt with some tough times, but I'm here to tell you that I'm a victor, not a victim, that I overcame my circumstances and I competed on the world stage.
That I believe in this country.
That when we were in Japan, when we were competing overseas, this country rallied behind the women's soccer team, which is true.
I was cheering for them, even though I hated their politics.
And while there are some things that we need to improve upon, while there are some things that we need to maybe get better at, I'm not going to spend my time or my attention or my platform to try to tell young women you can't succeed.
Because guess what, Megan Rapineau?
You're doing the LeBron James thing now.
The only difference is you're doing it for women, that he does it for black people.
Somehow that you're trying to convince people that you can't convince in the country, that you're trying to convince people that you can't succeed in the country, even though you yourself have succeeded at such an incredible level.
So which is it, Megan Rapineau, where you say that despite all of the World Cup wins, Olympic gold medals, million-dollar endorsement deals being on the cover in every single magazine, everyone knowing who I am, I'm actually a victim.
I've been devalued, disrespected, and dismissed.
Are you trying to say that you've dealt with adversity?
Because that's sort of the human norm.
Is that the point?
Is the point?
Could you imagine if Jackie Robinson gave that speech?
Could you imagine if Jackie Robinson, when he was finally admitted, number 42, one of the greatest American stories ever?
Could you imagine if Jackie Robinson said, you know what?
Thanks for letting me into the Major League Baseball Association.
I'm actually going to tell every black person in the country, you can't do this.
You might as well not try.
Megan Rapineau is a disgrace to every single activist athlete that came before her.
She's an ungrateful anti-American activist.
Look, we all know cancel culture is a huge problem.
And the fact is the internet never forgets.
We all know this.
That's why there's never been a more important time to protect your internet activity.
And that's why I urge you to get ExpressVPN.
Every time you search, watch, or click anything online, it's tracked by the big tech companies.
They can then match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.
The ExpressVPN app also encrypts my network data to protect my sense of information from being compromised.
What I like most is how easy it is to use.
That's why I believe they're the number one VPN by CNET.
That's right, number one, CNET and Wired.
So stop handing over all of your data to big tech companies.
Go to the VPN that I trust.

UFOs, unidentified flying objects.
Cut 59, Senator Rubio on Maria about UFOs.
Cut 59.
So, Senator, what about that?
What can you tell us about UFOs?
Well, we have things flying over military installations, over military exercises, and other places, and we don't know what it is.
It isn't ours, it isn't anything that's registered with the FAA, and in many cases, exhibits attributes of things we've never seen, technology, the kinds of technology we haven't seen before, or at least that's what it seems like.
I think you have to know what it is, or we have to try to know what it is.
That's my view of it without any preconceived notions.
Maybe there's a logical explanation.
Maybe it's something that can be explained away.
Maybe it's a foreign adversary who's made a technological leap, as you heard the former DNI said.
There are three possible explanations.
Number one, aliens.
Number two, that our own government has this technology to be able to move quicker and faster than anything we've seen before.
Number three, a foreign adversary has.
Cut 60 Ratcliffe on the reports that UFOs and repeating the idea that it can be a foreign adversary.
Cut 60.
Well, sure.
We have lots of reports about what we call unidentified aerial phenomenon.
There are a lot more sightings than have been made public.
Sometimes we wonder whether or not our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit further down the road than we thought or that we realized.
Look, I know John Ratcliffe, he's a great guy.
He sounds just as confused as we are.
Sometimes we wonder if our adversaries have made leaps and bounds.
So it could be any one of those things.
And again, you're not supposed to talk about this, but the amount of UFO sightings is going up rather dramatically.
People have their own theories on what that is and what that means.
Tucker Carlson's actually been covering the UFO story for some years now.
And some people say, well, Charlie, does that question your faith?
C.S. Lewis has an entire thing about this.
And we'll do another podcast on that of how he would eventually be able to reconcile the idea of aliens with his Christian faith.
And I'm going to read this word for word.
C.S. Lewis said, How can we, without absurd arrogance, believe ourselves to have been uniquely favored?
If humans did find alien animal life, Lewis said they would need to determine if these aliens were rational and have a quote spiritual sense and are fallen like humans are.
If three were present in these extraterrestrial life forms, and if we discovered that no form of redemption had reached them, then the human task might be to evangelize them.
Lewis suggested that it might be, quote, redemption, starting with us, is to work from us and through us.
Quote, those who are or can be his sons are our real brothers, even if they have shells or tusks.
It is spiritual, not biological kinship that counts.
And that is from C.S. Lewis many years ago from an essay titled Religion and Rockets.
So, it makes you think there's a lot of things happening out there, and you're not allowed to talk about any of it, of course, which is why this program continues to do very well, despite a lot of people's best efforts to eliminate it.
So, I want to thank you guys for subscribing to the podcast.
But I want to hear from you guys: what do you think about UFOs?
Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Are these UFOs from China?
Are they Russian?
Are they Iranian?
Are they from Mars?
Are they from some different galaxy?
Because, you know, it's really interesting what's happened with the UFO conversation.
Our leaders aren't disputing the UFOs anymore.
I remember in America they said, oh, no, no, that's nothing.
You're confusing it.
Now you have Senator Rubio being like, yeah, we don't really know what that is.
He's like, could be Independence Day about to happen, or it could be China, and none of it's good.
Or it could be our own government and they're trying to deflect on it.
It could be us.
It could be the United States and our own technology that's starting to pick up on it.
But the frequency is increasingly noteworthy.
I'm immensely curious, Mr. Producer, what people think.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether or not you think: are we alone here?
Are we being visited?
And I encourage all of you to go do your own research.
This is mainstream press outlets are all of a sudden.
You have Rubio, you have Ratcliffe that are saying there are unidentified flying objects flying all over the place.
Pilots are cataloging them.
You can see, and I want to hear if you guys have seen any.
That's what I really want to hear, right?
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
