=== Census Tilt and Campus Tours (15:13) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, happy Monday.
[00:00:01]  We're back at it after Easter weekend with an Ask Me Anything episode that you guys emailed me your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:00:07]  We go through the latest Elon Musk news.
[00:00:10]  What are some good resources to be able to have young children exposed to the gospel correctly?

[00:00:26]  What age group is Biden least popular?
[00:00:30]  What group of people hate Biden the most?
[00:00:32]  The answer will shock you.
[00:00:36]  What group of people hate Biden the most?
[00:00:39]  All I can say is the work we are doing on this program, I think it's starting to get out.

[00:01:00]  Buckle up, everybody, here.
[00:01:01]  We go.
[00:01:02]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:01:04]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:01:06]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:09]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:13]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:14]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:15]  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.
[00:01:23]  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.
[00:01:32]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:35]  Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
[00:01:38]  For personalized loan services, you can count on.
[00:01:40]  Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
[00:01:47]  So we got a lot of questions on our campus tour.
[00:01:50]  In fact, we also have a lot of questions here for Ask Me Anything.
[00:01:54]  And Greg from Cincinnati and Carla from North Carolina and Cynthia from Arizona.
[00:02:00]  They all have a very similar question.
[00:02:01]  And I receive this question at every single one of our campus stops, which is Charlie Trump or DeSantis.
[00:02:09]  Trump or DeSantis?
[00:02:12]  And I answered it.
[00:02:13]  I said, look, if Trump runs again, he's going to have my support.
[00:02:15]  I said, he's earned it.
[00:02:16]  He's been good to me.
[00:02:17]  He's been good to the country.
[00:02:19]  I consider him to be, I guess you could say, a friend.
[00:02:22]  Yeah, and that's pretty cool to say.
[00:02:24]  And he's been terrific.
[00:02:27]  I also say, though, that Ron DeSantis has an opportunity at some point to be a once-in-a-generation, once-in-a-century statesman.
[00:02:35]  Ron DeSantis is hitting home run after home run after home run.
[00:02:41]  Ron DeSantis has just now signed a pro-life bill that the left is losing their mind over.
[00:02:46]  He signed the anti-grooming bill, the parental rights education bill.
[00:02:49]  He just signed a fatherhood initiative.
[00:02:51]  And on top of all of that, Ron DeSantis has bailed out the corrupt, dumb, and I would say double-minded Republican establishment.
[00:03:07]  What do you mean by that?
[00:03:08]  Well, so we got a lot of questions about DeSantis or Trump.
[00:03:11]  We got very few questions, if at all, about redistricting.
[00:03:15]  Now, Tyler Boyer, who we work with on a lot of different things, obviously at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, he's been warning about this.
[00:03:22]  He's the RNC committeeman for Arizona.
[00:03:25]  And he's been probably the leading voice in the RNC of trying to tell people that redistricting is not going well.
[00:03:34]  So what is redistricting?
[00:03:36]  Well, every 10 years, there is a census done.
[00:03:39]  Now, one of the reasons why the left wants open borders is not just because they want illegals to vote, but what is one way that they're able to give them the power of a vote without actually giving them a vote?
[00:03:57]  One of the ways is by counting them in the census.
[00:04:01]  So if you have a census where illegals are counted, but they're not able to vote, they still get the representation in what would then be a Democrat district.
[00:04:13]  And so open borders is not just about them actually putting forward ballots, but they get representation.
[00:04:20]  In fact, Democrats are able to increase their power that way by increasing the population supply.
[00:04:28]  Okay.
[00:04:29]  And so a census is done every 10 years.
[00:04:32]  We counted illegals in our census, which is just insane.
[00:04:34]  Do we count visitors in New York City when they're coming for two weeks in the census?
[00:04:41]  Do we count foreign nationals that are here visiting family in Tampa or in Miami?
[00:04:46]  Of course not.
[00:04:46]  It's insane.
[00:04:47]  The fact that we count foreign nationals in our tabulation of citizens is one of the most backwards, one of the most inexplicable things our government does.
[00:04:56]  But we do it anyway.
[00:04:57]  Okay.
[00:04:58]  Now, Trump to his credit and Wilbur Ross to his credit.
[00:05:00]  You might say, Wilbur Ross, what does he have to do that?
[00:05:02]  Well, many people don't know this.
[00:05:04]  The Department of Commerce actually oversees the census.
[00:05:09]  It's like of all places, like, what?
[00:05:10]  That's right.
[00:05:11]  The Department of Commerce oversees the census every 10 years.
[00:05:14]  Now, in a civilizationally suicidal move, the left, of course, wanted to count illegals.
[00:05:20]  They won in court, unfortunately.
[00:05:22]  And that's a fight that we have to pick up.
[00:05:25]  Okay.
[00:05:25]  So census data comes out, and then every 10 years, the Constitution mandates that the states meet to reassess their maps, their congressional maps.
[00:05:37]  Now, that doesn't say maps in the Constitution, but there's some provision.
[00:05:40]  Connor can find it.
[00:05:41]  I believe it's in Article 1, Section 3 or 4, that states every 10 years based on a census.
[00:05:49]  It might be an amendment.
[00:05:50]  I could be mistaken, but it would definitely be under Article 1.
[00:05:53]  And so the states meet, they do this.
[00:05:56]  Now, what happens is that especially in recent decades, Democrat states first started to realize, hey, we can start to draw these congressional maps to heavily favor our ambitions in Washington, D.C.
[00:06:08]  Now, full disclosure, Republicans responded in kind.
[00:06:12]  Now, this is a practice called gerrymandering.
[00:06:16]  Gerrymandering is the changing and the moving of districts specifically for a political output and purpose.
[00:06:22]  Both sides do this terribly.
[00:06:25]  Now, Democrats have decided this last cycle, this last map iteration, to just go nuts.
[00:06:33]  New York, Illinois, and California are some of the most partisan, some of the most just Democrat-heavy maps you could imagine.
[00:06:43]  Now, Republicans in other states were afraid to flex their muscles in return.
[00:06:47]  So we got really poor maps in a lot of states.
[00:06:50]  Arizona maps, not great.
[00:06:53]  Texas maps, okay.
[00:06:55]  Ohio maps, not great.
[00:06:57]  North Carolina maps, terrible.
[00:06:59]  And it really kind of came down.
[00:07:01]  The maps, by the way, what do I mean by that?
[00:07:03]  It's like the tilt of Democrat district versus Republican districts.
[00:07:06]  And now in the wave election year coming up into November, we will start to see whether or not, I was right.
[00:07:15]  It was Article 1, Section 3.
[00:07:17]  Was I right about that?
[00:07:18]  Yeah.
[00:07:18]  Okay, cool.
[00:07:19]  It's off the top of my head.
[00:07:20]  You'll start to see in November that in a wave year, the maps don't mean as much.
[00:07:23]  But let's say in 2026, when Democrats might have some momentum, if they ever get momentum back, if we don't execute a political extinction event, maps matter a lot.
[00:07:35]  And so it really kind of came down to one final state that was going to determine whether or not Republicans were going to have fair maps nationwide if you kind of count everything being equal.
[00:07:49]  And Ron DeSantis was pressured and he was given an incredible amount of, let's say, arm-ringing and a remarkable amount of intimidation.
[00:08:03]  That's the word I'm looking for, to sign the Democrat-heavy maps in Florida.
[00:08:10]  And Ron DeSantis said no.
[00:08:13]  Ron DeSantis said, I will veto maps that include some of these unconstitutional districts.
[00:08:19]  And now the new map for Ron DeSantis, from Ron DeSantis and Florida is out, which is just another example of the heroism and the courage and the capacity for leadership that Ron DeSantis has.
[00:08:33]  It is a 20 to 8 Trump over Biden map, including very favorable districts in Pinellas County and otherwise.
[00:08:44]  It was 16-11.
[00:08:46]  Now it's 20 to 8.
[00:08:47]  Now, why would I support something as imbalanced as that, someone would say?
[00:08:53]  Because it's a reaction to the New York and the California maps.
[00:08:56]  I will say this again.
[00:08:57]  I want to win.
[00:09:00]  I'm not going to go play to some abstract ideal of fairness while New York and California is highway robbing the country with congressional maps.
[00:09:09]  If they're going to do that, then we're going to play in kind.
[00:09:12]  We've got to neutralize the playing field.
[00:09:15]  And I love these Republican columnists that write out, these people that write these op-eds for a living and do nothing useful in their life.
[00:09:22]  They say, Ron DeSantis is engaging in the very same type of behavior that we hate from Democrats.
[00:09:26]  Like, wait a second.
[00:09:27]  Like, do you want the country to be saved?
[00:09:30]  Or would you rather have maps that favor Democrats when you have an opportunity to make them favoring Republicans?
[00:09:39]  We should be unapologetic.
[00:09:40]  Of course, we want the maps to favor Republicans.
[00:09:42]  Obviously, Democrats say exactly the same.
[00:09:46]  I want to win.
[00:09:48]  The Cook political report said the 20 Republican, 8 Democrat Florida map passes, and if it withstands court challenges, it could get Republicans four additional seats, entirely wiping out Democrats' national redistricting gains across the country, according to Dave Wasserman.
[00:10:07]  Ron DeSantis is so smart.
[00:10:09]  He says, look, if the governors of Texas, the governor of Ohio, now the Texas maps were okay, they weren't great.
[00:10:16]  If the governor of Ohio, the governor of North Carolina, they're not going to have the backbone as Republican governors to put forward good maps, then I am going to fix the problem and overcompensate in the beautiful state of Florida.
[00:10:29]  And he has.
[00:10:30]  It looks like it will withstand court challenges.
[00:10:33]  The California maps and the New York maps were designed to try to disadvantage Republicans, and now Ron DeSantis is picking up the slack.
[00:10:41]  I'm telling you, he is 10 out of 10.
[00:10:44]  These maps will give Republicans a fighting chance in years to come.
[00:10:52]  Almost every day we hear about another major corporation that has gone woke.
[00:10:55]  Disney hates you, and everyone should cancel Disney.
[00:10:59]  They hate families.
[00:11:00]  Disney made tons of money off of being family-friendly and family-safe.
[00:11:06]  Now it's time to divest from Disney.
[00:11:08]  There's a lot of companies like T-Mobile that's firing all their unvaccinated employees.
[00:11:11]  They're tormenting their employees with leftist propaganda and funding organizations who seem to hate this country.
[00:11:17]  And so I was on a mission.
[00:11:18]  I was seeing how much I was spending on my cell phone bill, how much Turning Point USA was spending on our cell phone bill.
[00:11:23]  I said, I'm so sick and tired of giving these anti-American cell phone companies my hard-earned money and our amazing donor money at Turning Point USA.
[00:11:31]  So I told my team, I said, go find the cell phone company that shares our values.
[00:11:36]  And I remember I met this guy, Glenn.
[00:11:38]  We'd run into each other a couple of times, and he was super enthusiastic, always wore this right red polo, said Patriot Mobile on it.
[00:11:45]  And I saw him again at an event.
[00:11:46]  Said, okay, now you really got to sit down.
[00:11:48]  Like, let's plan some time together and talk about this.
[00:11:50]  So, we had this meal in Dallas.
[00:11:52]  This is back in November, and he laid it all out, and I got it.
[00:11:54]  I was like, wow, okay.
[00:11:56]  So, you're at a conservative Christian cell phone provider, and I don't have to pay all these woke companies.
[00:12:01]  And it just like clicked in a minute.
[00:12:02]  I said, let's partner together.
[00:12:03]  Let's have you on the show.
[00:12:04]  Let's do some things.
[00:12:06]  And that's how it all started.
[00:12:07]  So, Patriot Mobile, they have plans to fit every budget.
[00:12:10]  And their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
[00:12:15]  Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
[00:12:23]  So, make the switch today.
[00:12:24]  I know the whole management team behind Patriot Mobile, Glenn, all of them, they support Turning Point USA.
[00:12:30]  They support us beautifully.
[00:12:32]  So, you go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
[00:12:36]  People ask all the time, Charlie, what do I do?
[00:12:38]  What do I do?
[00:12:38]  Well, a good way to start is, you know, make your cell phone bill, whatever.
[00:12:42]  If you see it on your cell phone statement, you get your cell phone statement.
[00:12:45]  You might as well just say, oh, that money's going to the DNC or that money's going to Christian conservative organizations or company like Patriot Mobile.
[00:12:53]  So, you get a free activation with the offer code Charlie.
[00:12:56]  They also have special discounts for veterans and first responder heroes.
[00:13:00]  It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
[00:13:04]  Join me on the Charlie Kirk show in our change to Patriot Mobile and forgetting all these woke, awful, terrible cell phone companies.
[00:13:11]  Portions of this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, are brought to you in part by Patriot Mobile.
[00:13:15]  It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie, patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie.
[00:13:23]  Okay, let's go to some other thoughts here and some other questions.
[00:13:29]  Here's one: Charlie, how did you survive at Berkeley?
[00:13:32]  What was it like?
[00:13:34]  Tell us more.
[00:13:35]  Basically, it's just a long email from Sal from Oklahoma.
[00:13:40]  Tell us more about what you learned there.
[00:13:42]  So, spoke at UC Berkeley, and the more interesting part of my time at Berkeley was not even the speech at Berkeley, which was fine, despite some smart Alec people that call themselves satirists that just wanted to try to troll.
[00:13:55]  I'll first just say this about Berkeley: what a dark city.
[00:13:59]  And I don't mean just like the sun was shining, but spiritual darkness and just the principality of that entire oppression is just so prevalent over Berkeley.
[00:14:13]  I just feel it every single time I go to Berkeley.
[00:14:18]  When I tried to speak, there were literally kids that were coming and just knocking on windows like the walking dead.
[00:14:24]  But the more interesting part of my time there was the two hours I spent on campus speaking to left-wingers and activists uninterrupted, two hours.
[00:14:34]  We're going to be releasing some of that footage.
[00:14:36]  In fact, we're still contemplating whether or not what parts we might include and not include.
[00:14:41]  The only ones we might not include are just kind of the stuff that my kit kicked us off, get off YouTube and Facebook.
[00:14:47]  Just kind of vaccine stuff and all that, which was a topic.
[00:14:51]  But kind of looking at the perspective of people at Berkeley, years prior at Berkeley, there was almost like a utopian undertone at Berkeley, if you will.
[00:15:04]  Now it's very dystopian.
[00:15:07]  A lot of the students at Berkeley do not believe things can or will get better.

=== Predicting Berkeley's Utopian Past (03:32) ===

[00:15:14]  They don't.
[00:15:15]  Instead, they're very cynical.
[00:15:18]  A cynical country is not a healthy country.
[00:15:20]  It's not.
[00:15:21]  And their kind of perspective is like, look, things are awful.
[00:15:25]  We don't like the way they are.
[00:15:27]  And you're kind of the problem.
[00:15:29]  And like, there is no truth.
[00:15:30]  There is no beauty.
[00:15:31]  There's nothing worth fighting for.
[00:15:33]  Now, the great Joe Bob, who works for us at Turning Point USA, he went undercover at Berkeley and he decided to ask some people some questions.
[00:15:42]  Let's enjoy that together.
[00:15:43]  Play Cut 90.
[00:15:46]  What's his deal?
[00:15:46]  Should we like him?
[00:15:48]  If you don't like asking, you're literally talking about it.
[00:15:50]  Did you know he just tweeted that Kamala Harris's vice presidency was affirmative action?
[00:15:56]  I know.
[00:15:57]  Also, in fact, don't take it.
[00:16:00]  Oh, yeah.
[00:16:01]  The guy that gave us his flow.
[00:16:03]  He seemed like a.
[00:16:04]  I feel like nobody wants war with Russia.
[00:16:07]  So that's a short little clip.
[00:16:09]  It's kind of hard to tell with all the background noise, but the girl is like, can you believe Charlie Kirk tweeted out that Kamala Harris was picked because of affirmative action?
[00:16:18]  Whoa, it's like, yeah, of course she was.
[00:16:21]  I mean, Biden openly said that he was going to choose a vice president based solely on characteristics that can't be changed.
[00:16:29]  That is affirmative action.
[00:16:31]  And so spending the time at Berkeley, I learned a lot.
[00:16:34]  And as I kind of go back to the footage, I'll be reminded of a lot of it.
[00:16:37]  So here's how it kind of works: you get how it works.
[00:16:38]  You go there, set up a card table, a couple cameras.
[00:16:41]  It was really cold at the beginning.
[00:16:42]  Just like super chilly and it kind of warmed up.
[00:16:45]  And it starts like super awkward.
[00:16:46]  You just kind of sit there.
[00:16:48]  And then one of the students is like, well, I wonder if people are going to come up.
[00:16:51]  I was like, they're going to come up.
[00:16:52]  Don't worry.
[00:16:53]  We're going to have a nice time.
[00:16:54]  And they just come up and you start having a good conversation.
[00:16:57]  I learned a lot.
[00:16:58]  I thought it was respectful.
[00:17:00]  There were a couple people that were being jerks, obviously, a couple people that were just trying to, you know, not respect the entire deal.
[00:17:07]  But generally, it kind of got to a place the last, I'd say, hour to 45 minutes, there was like the same group of 10 kids.
[00:17:15]  And I was sitting looking up at them.
[00:17:18]  And they were like non-stop questions.
[00:17:22]  Well, what about this?
[00:17:23]  Well, what about that?
[00:17:24]  Like, what about this?
[00:17:25]  Like, what about that?
[00:17:26]  Like, what?
[00:17:26]  And it was just non-stop.
[00:17:28]  And one of the young ladies had one of the great quotes, and I can't wait to just re-watch this.
[00:17:34]  She said, after listening to me, after listening to me for an hour, she said, I could predict what you're going to say before you're going to say it.
[00:17:40]  I said, why do you think that is?
[00:17:42]  She said, well, it's because you have beliefs that don't change.
[00:17:47]  I said, yeah, exactly.
[00:17:48]  That's right.
[00:17:49]  I said, I believe in a natural law.
[00:17:51]  I believe in certain principles that are applicable over time and space.
[00:17:55]  She said, well, that's not the way to live life.
[00:17:58]  She said that you need to be able to have nuance and you need to be able to, you know, I said, well, look, there might be exceptions to rules, but rules are there for a reason.
[00:18:07]  She had never thought of it that way.
[00:18:10]  That there might be a transcendent moral order, an unchanging way that we must anchor ourselves to existence.
[00:18:18]  And that is the byproduct of the parasitic idea of postmodernism.
[00:18:24]  That things are always changing.
[00:18:25]  It's just a construct.
[00:18:26]  Who's to say what it is?
[00:18:28]  Like, I could predict what you're going to say before you say it.
[00:18:30]  Like, I consider that to be a great compliment.
[00:18:32]  That means I'm consistent and that I am anchored in things that are true and that will always be true.
[00:18:42]  Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?

=== Pizza Hut Slavery Claims Explained (11:15) ===

[00:18:46]  Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
[00:18:52]  Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
[00:18:56]  One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
[00:19:01]  Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
[00:19:12]  So PAX Financial is wonderful.
[00:19:14]  They share our values.
[00:19:15]  In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
[00:19:22]  Stop using the woke money managers.
[00:19:24]  PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.

[00:20:06]  Text Charlie to number 74-868.
[00:20:11]  Every day we're learning about a new company that has gone totally woke.
[00:20:15]  Disney is woke.
[00:20:16]  Pizza Hut is woke.
[00:20:18]  Let me read this story about Pizza Hut.
[00:20:19]  It's almost hard to believe.
[00:20:20]  Hold on.
[00:20:21]  Pizza Hut teaches America, kids, America is built on slavery and genocide.
[00:20:27]  A fast food chain claims that America was founded on genocide from frontpagemag.com.
[00:20:40]  Pizza Hut, unsatisfied with making kids fat, also wants to make them racist.
[00:20:45]  They have an empowering educated tool box presented by the Pizza Hut Foundation, urging teachers to tell students that everyone is defined by race, that everyone has racial identity, and that race defines American life.
[00:21:00]  That's what they say.
[00:21:00]  They say race defines American life according to Pizza Hut.
[00:21:04]  They say here, quote, America is a country built on a foundation of slavery, genocide, and white supremacy.
[00:21:10]  A pamphlet for teachers stamped by the Pizza Hut logo declares.
[00:21:16]  They say, this is so well written by Front Page Magazine.
[00:21:19]  They say this, they say, challenging Conversation says that police force, quote, is the sixth leading cause of death for black men.
[00:21:27]  Now, of course, they don't talk about how black men are getting killed by police because they're committing crimes, and a lot of that is done in self-defense.
[00:21:36]  But actually, his front page magazine comes back beautifully.
[00:21:38]  They say, actually, it's diabetes.
[00:21:42]  But it's understandable that Pizza Hut, which makes millions of dollars giving black men heart disease, strokes, and diabetes, wants to blame the cops who are the only people keeping underpaid employees of their struggling franchises alive.
[00:21:54]  It's David Horowitz's great website, the great David Horowitz.
[00:21:58]  Having destroyed Pizza and its own company, Pizza Hut now wants to destroy America.
[00:22:02]  So every day we have new companies going completely woke.
[00:22:05]  It's happening at a record rate.
[00:22:07]  Okay, we have a question here.
[00:22:09]  Bob from Tennessee.
[00:22:11]  Charlie, what is going on at CNN?
[00:22:13]  I'm hearing rumors that they are imploding.
[00:22:16]  Nope, it's even worse than that.
[00:22:18]  CNN Plus has, I think, only 10,000 people that have subscribed to CNN Plus.
[00:22:25]  It's unbelievable.
[00:22:27]  And CNN is imploding from every direction you could imagine.
[00:22:31]  And someone's really angry about it.
[00:22:32]  Chris Wallace is really angry about it because people aren't watching Chris Wallace anymore.
[00:22:36]  So I could just, this is what's so, these people are so stupid.
[00:22:41]  Imagine a meeting at CNN where someone says, you know what people want?
[00:22:48]  What's that?
[00:22:50]  They want a Netflix for news.
[00:22:52]  Yeah, that's what people want.
[00:22:55]  Think about how dumb you must be to believe that.
[00:22:57]  People want less news and better news.
[00:23:00]  They don't want to spend more money on news, especially where it's abundant and you can basically get the CNN Pravda without having to watch CNN.
[00:23:10]  So CNN spent all this money on this crap called CNN Plus, and they went and hired Chris Wallace.
[00:23:18]  Chris Wallace, of course, the yellow journalist who participates in Total Pravda, he is a liar.
[00:23:24]  I'll tell you what.
[00:23:25]  Chris Wallace is, quote, having daily breakdowns over the, quote, miserable launch of CNN Plus, wants a CNN show or is threatening to walk, they go on.
[00:23:37]  He is having staffers count how many days his promo is playing on CNN.
[00:23:43]  Wallace reportedly wants a CNN show or is threatening to leave.
[00:23:47]  He's telling anyone that will listen that he wants Cuomo's old time slot.
[00:23:53]  CNN Plus struggles to lure viewers in its early days, drawing fewer than 10,000 daily users.
[00:24:00]  That's right.
[00:24:01]  The Charlie Kirk Show radio program, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, is significantly bigger than the multi-billion dollar media company CNN Plus.
[00:24:11]  CNN dropped negative 32% in average total primetime viewers, negative 28% in the primetime demo, negative 22% in total day viewers, negative 28% in total day demo.
[00:24:22]  MSNBC's year-over-year decline has been even more extreme, with Rachel Maddow having been on hiatus.
[00:24:28]  And MSNBC has shed 39% in average total primetime viewers, half of its audience from the primetime demo, down 50% and down 31% in total day viewers, and down 46% in total day demo versus year-over-year.
[00:24:48]  Now, speaking of CNN and their total collapse, CNN is also reacting to the collapse of Joe Biden.
[00:24:55]  There's just a lot of collapsing happening.
[00:24:58]  Joe Biden just collapsed.
[00:24:59]  He can't even walk upstairs.
[00:25:00]  Just kind of, that's a theme, I think, from now to November collapse.
[00:25:07]  That's just a great theme.
[00:25:10]  Cut 98, they can't believe how unpopular Joe Biden is.
[00:25:14]  Play cut 98.
[00:25:15]  You know, there was always that thing, oh, Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency.
[00:25:20]  We did it over and over and over and over again.
[00:25:23]  Well, at this point in his presidency, Donald Trump's number is actually his average approval rating is one point higher than Joe Biden's, which is at 41%, Donald Trump at 42%.
[00:25:33]  A first-term president at this point in his presidency, this is the lowest.
[00:25:39]  This is the lowest for anyone who was elected to the presidency and didn't get up there through the vice presidency.
[00:25:44]  This is a really, really, really bad number.
[00:25:48]  Was he elected to the presidency?
[00:25:50]  That's the question.
[00:25:53]  CNN continues.
[00:25:54]  Cut 99 on Biden's approval rating.
[00:25:57]  Joe Biden at this point is minus 23 points.
[00:26:00]  That is the worst on record since they started asking about economic approval.
[00:26:04]  Play cut 99.
[00:26:06]  And I'll just note: if you don't believe that the economy is hurting the Democrats and Joe Biden, look at the net approval rating.
[00:26:12]  That's approval minus disapproval.
[00:26:14]  Joe Biden, at this point, minus 23 points.
[00:26:18]  That is the worst on record since they started asking about economic job approval ratings back in 1978 with Jimmy Carter.
[00:26:26]  I don't know who this guy is, but the funniest part of the clip, I know on radio and podcasting, you can't tell, is he's trying to cut him off, the other guy, the shill.
[00:26:33]  He's like, okay, enough, got it.
[00:26:34]  Stop, stop.
[00:26:34]  Who are you?
[00:26:35]  Stop it.
[00:26:36]  And he just keeps on going.
[00:26:38]  You could just see he's like, stop talking.
[00:26:40]  Stop it.
[00:26:41]  And he just keeps going into it.
[00:26:42]  They were like, cut segment, cut, cut.
[00:26:44]  They didn't actually look at the numbers before they did it.
[00:26:46]  They couldn't believe it.
[00:26:48]  A new Quinnipiak poll should give you hope.
[00:26:52]  What if I told you that more old people support Joe Biden than young people?
[00:27:04]  I don't know, but I'm saying that maybe some of the work we're doing on this program, this podcast, and turning point action, maybe it's making a difference.
[00:27:12]  21% of people 18 to 34 approve of Joe Biden.
[00:27:18]  21%.
[00:27:21]  Meanwhile, 48% of people over 65 approve of Joe Biden.
[00:27:28]  Of every demographic, where is Joe Biden the least popular?
[00:27:32]  18 to 34-year-old, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
[00:27:36]  That's right.
[00:27:38]  The least popular demographic for Joe Biden, younger voters.
[00:27:44]  The most popular, older voters.
[00:27:48]  Who's keeping Joe Biden's popularity even on life support?
[00:27:52]  Senior citizens.
[00:27:53]  Now, I'm not blaming them for that, but I never want to hear this, it's young people that are destroying the country.
[00:27:59]  Actually, it's not.
[00:28:01]  It's not.
[00:28:02]  The polling shows that young people disapprove Joe Biden.
[00:28:05]  56% of young people disapprove of Joe Biden.
[00:28:09]  56%, only 46% of senior citizens disapprove of Joe Biden.
[00:28:15]  In fact, more young people, 18 to 34, disapprove of Joe Biden than 35 to 49-year-olds.
[00:28:21]  That's a big deal.
[00:28:24]  Now, young people is the, by age, and this is where it just shows that it's just catastrophic for the Democrats.
[00:28:34]  Only 26% of Hispanics approve of Joe Biden.
[00:28:41]  Does it start to make sense now why they need to get rid of Joe Biden, why they're doing these criminal investigations via Hunter?
[00:28:48]  They got to get rid of them.
[00:28:52]  In October 2021, Republicans had an 11-point midterm enthusiasm advantage.
[00:28:57]  In January 2022, Republicans had a 14-point advantage.
[00:29:01]  Republicans now have a 17-point advantage.
[00:29:06]  And Democrats, I think, know that they're going to lose power, and they basically just want to drink all the wine in the cellar before the Capitol falls.
[00:29:17]  It's like, it's the last days, like, whatever.
[00:29:21]  We're going to just blow it out.
[00:29:24]  And I just want to re-emphasize this, that only 21% of young people, 18 to 34, approve of Joe Biden.
[00:29:36]  That means that students and young people are this amazing opportunity.
[00:29:42]  You know what our biggest problem was at Berkeley?
[00:29:45]  Our biggest problem at Boulder?
[00:29:46]  Our biggest problem at Fullerton?
[00:29:48]  We had to turn away more students than we were actually able to keep in the room because of the amazing enthusiasm.
[00:29:57]  And the university didn't give us a big enough room.
[00:29:59]  That's fine.
[00:29:59]  At least we had an event.
[00:30:00]  We were thankful for that.

=== Veggie Tales Leading to Truth (06:29) ===

[00:30:01]  Okay.
[00:30:03]  Thehill.com, quote, Democrats face nightmare scenario, a biblical disaster looming.
[00:30:11]  That's from the Hill memo.
[00:30:13]  And I think it's only going to get worse.
[00:30:14]  You think people are angry now?
[00:30:16]  Wait for summer drive season.
[00:30:18]  Gas prices always go up in the summer.
[00:30:20]  Wait till you realize how much it costs to go to a hotel or a resort or to just do things you used to do.
[00:30:27]  And I don't want this.
[00:30:30]  I don't.
[00:30:30]  I'm not Kathy Griffin.
[00:30:32]  And I don't know if Bill Maher did this or not.
[00:30:34]  I think he did, but he might have been joking, but it wasn't funny when he did it.
[00:30:37]  I don't want a recession if it's going to help Republicans.
[00:30:40]  I do not want people to suffer if it just means Republicans are going to benefit from it.
[00:30:45]  I don't think that's right.
[00:30:47]  But to be honest, I think the suffering is coming.
[00:30:50]  I think that there is going to be an economic downturn.
[00:30:52]  We are going to have high price increases and an economic slowdown.
[00:30:56]  It's just a matter of time.
[00:30:58]  Quote, a Democrat strategist, I think it's going to be a biblical disaster.
[00:31:02]  This is the reality we as Democrats are in, and no one wants to face it.
[00:31:08]  Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
[00:31:11]  They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
[00:31:15]  Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
[00:31:19]  They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
[00:31:25]  He found the best towel company right here in America.
[00:31:27]  They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
[00:31:31]  They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a My Pillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
[00:31:36]  It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand tiles, two washcloths made with USA cotton.
[00:31:40]  They're soft, get absorbent.
[00:31:42]  Regularly, $100,999, not $39.99.

[00:32:04]  Hi, Charlie.
[00:32:05]  Thanks for the constant content jam-packed with facts and stats.
[00:32:08]  You're welcome.
[00:32:09]  Thank you for saying that.
[00:32:11]  I've become an avid listener in recent months.
[00:32:13]  Your Christian views have also sparked new interest in me that I've sidelined for many years.
[00:32:17]  That touches me.
[00:32:18]  Thank you.
[00:32:19]  My oldest daughter, four years old, has been asking questions about the origins of people in the world.
[00:32:24]  I'm not a very religious person, and her dad is very agnostic, but I'm also growing more in that area, and I'd like to have her learn Christian values and beliefs.
[00:32:31]  Good.
[00:32:32]  A religious child is very important.
[00:32:35]  Do you have any recommendations for how to get her introduced to this type of knowledge for her age group?
[00:32:39]  And any advice on how to persuade her father that it's his job to equip her with this information regards Erica.
[00:32:45]  Well, I love the name Erica, obviously.
[00:32:48]  So we had a couple guests on our program that I'd like to refer you to.
[00:32:50]  Frank Turek and Lee Strobel are two really good starting points for this.
[00:32:55]  I don't know about the age-appropriate stuff.
[00:32:58]  That's something I do know exists.
[00:33:00]  That's not something I'm as locked in.
[00:33:03]  Maybe Andrew would be able to have some resources there.
[00:33:05]  But crose-examine.org is a great place for adults to start.
[00:33:09]  My friend Frank Turek does a phenomenal job running that.
[00:33:12]  And then maybe just say, hey, we're going to have movie night.
[00:33:14]  We're going to watch a movie called Case for Christ.
[00:33:17]  And the movie Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, I think, is very, very powerful.
[00:33:21]  I think it does a wonderful job.
[00:33:23]  And look, to go a level deeper, though, what you're wrestling with is where did people come from?
[00:33:29]  Again, when I was at Berkeley, just to keep referencing it, they kept saying, man created God.
[00:33:34]  God did not create man.
[00:33:35]  I said, that is so, that is just so shallow to believe such a thing as that.
[00:33:43]  Agnostic is fine.
[00:33:44]  It can help lead people towards the truth.
[00:33:47]  But just have an open heart.
[00:33:50]  Andrew says the following.
[00:33:53]  My daughter loves watching Veggie Tales and the star.
[00:33:56]  I grew up watching Veggie Tales.
[00:33:57]  Do they still make new Veggie Tales?
[00:33:59]  Is that right?
[00:34:00]  I think they do.
[00:34:01]  Yeah, they do.
[00:34:02]  Now, the creator of Veggie Tales is a very nasty person, but Veggie Tales, nevertheless, is great.
[00:34:10]  It has not gone woke, but the creator of Veggie Tales has gone super woke.
[00:34:15]  So just keep that in mind.
[00:34:17]  I could, I remember vividly watching, boy, I probably watched the Veggie Tale about Esther like 400 times growing up.
[00:34:27]  My parents made me watch a lot of Veggie Tales.
[00:34:29]  That's a good reminder.
[00:34:29]  Thank you, Andrew.
[00:34:31]  That's good.
[00:34:32]  So if you're not familiar with Veggie Tales, it's really good education for children to be able to consume information and to be able to consume biblical values.
[00:34:42]  Yeah, we just have a lot of questions here generally about Easter and Good Friday.
[00:34:49]  So let me just kind of summarize this one.
[00:34:51]  This one is from Quinn, who is from Pennsylvania.
[00:34:54]  Charlie, you know, how do you know there is a God?
[00:34:57]  Got asked that question quite a lot in the last couple days.
[00:35:00]  First of all, I've experienced God personally.
[00:35:02]  I don't expect you to believe that.
[00:35:05]  But let's just look at the laws of physics.
[00:35:07]  Do you believe that an object at rest will stay at rest unless it's acted upon?
[00:35:10]  And do you believe that for every action there's equal and opposite reaction?
[00:35:13]  If the answer is yes, that means you believe in the laws of physics.
[00:35:16]  Okay.
[00:35:16]  Well, if those laws of physics are true, that means the universe, as we know, had a starting point, a big bang.
[00:35:24]  Something must have caused that big bang.
[00:35:26]  It did not happen on its own.
[00:35:27]  We as Christians believe that God created the big bang or created the beginning of the universe, whatever that might be.
[00:35:35]  It might be what we believe is the speaking of existence, ex nihilo, out of nothing.
[00:35:40]  God spoke it into existence.
[00:35:43]  Even an ardent atheist scientist will admit that the universe had a very specific starting point because the universe is expanding and eventually it will contract.
[00:35:53]  We believe that in order for there to be space, time, and matter, something that transcends space, time, and matter must therefore be able to make space, time, and matter.
[00:36:01]  And that something is something that is a constant.
[00:36:04]  which we believe is God.
[00:36:07]  Someone also emailed us.
[00:36:08]  They said the vacation Bible school curriculum was very good to get younger kids interested in going to church.
[00:36:13]  Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
[00:36:14]  Email me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com and support the Charlie Kirk Show at charliekirk.com slash support.
[00:36:21]  Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
