The Red-Pilling of Middle America + Elon's Tender Twitter Offer
Following an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with Candace Owens nearly derailed by a leftist pulling a fire-alarm, Charlie met up with friends in his hometown of Wheeling, Illinois. He shares the fascinating insights he gained from reconnecting with the muscular class in the American Midwest and how the Regime's chaotic power grabs and woke agenda have engaged even the most apolitical Americans and turned them in to rock-ribbed conservative activists & voters. Next, he walks through the latest update from the saga of Elon Musk and his quest to acquire Twitter. Finally, he's joined by the great Nigel Farage for an exclusive analysis of the Trump x Piers Morgan interview and as well as a discussion on the rise of prudent nationalism across the pond and around the globe.

Stirring in Our Country00:11:19

So, yesterday we had an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the phenomenal Candace Owens, standing room only.
We could have packed it out even more, but it was on campus, which was really great.
Thank you to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for allowing us to host it.
So, we've been doing this for a couple of years.
I personally, and also Candace and I, and we at Turning Point USA have been doing this for 10 years now.
We've seen a lot, and we've seen protests, we've seen attempts at disruption and interruption, we've seen people throw stuff at us, trying to play music to drown us out.
Candace and I have been driven out of restaurants, had water thrown at us, like harassment, death threats, the whole gamut, right?
We've really experienced that all.
One thing that I've heard, though, in the past, and I always kind of had it in the back of my mind, was a tactic that is used primarily, by the way, in Northeast schools, Ivy League schools, and Canadian schools as well, is a rather brutal and dare, and dare I say, it is an illegal tactic.
It is against the law to do, which is to pull a fire alarm in the midst of the event.
And so, Candace and I get our event started, and we're having a nice time.
And, you know, everyone's really excited and really energized.
And there you go, three to five minutes into the event, you know, the fire alarm is going off.
And people are getting a little nervous.
And I knew exactly what was happening.
And we'll get the clip out.
It's actually a kind of a fun clip.
Okay, Andrew's getting the audio.
We could do it today or tomorrow, whenever.
We'll put it on social media.
And as soon as it hits, you know, everyone's kind of looking around.
What do we do?
I say, everyone, don't go anywhere.
I said, we are not leaving.
The chances that there is a fire is like nothing.
This is a tactic to try to get this event canceled.
And imagine if we would have actually fallen for the fire alarm.
We all would have had to leave the building in the cold, super rainy, kind of sleety, 35 degrees Milwaukee evening, come back in.
It would have disrupted the event totally.
That's their intent.
And so then the intercom comes from above and they say, the fire alarm has been activated.
Please leave the building.
And I said, yeah, we're going to leave the building if you can prove there's a fire.
And the audience enjoyed that.
So we didn't leave.
We kind of stayed put.
And then after a couple of minutes, our wonderful security team, of course, they knew what it was all about.
They went right to it and they got the alarm all sorted out.
Now, this was a masked, hooded, still anonymous individual who broke the law.
You are not allowed to erroneously pull fire alarms with the intent of trying to disrupt an event.
I don't think it's a felony, but it's definitely against the law.
And I want you to think about this, though.
This is something I was reflecting on last evening, which is how far has this country fallen where when I'm on stage, my first instinct and reaction as soon as I hear a fire alarm is not that something is wrong, but someone wants me to leave the building.
And that's not a healthy situation to be in.
If your first instinct is that this is the boy who cried wolf to try to get me off stage, I don't want to live in that country.
We need to change that, is what I'm saying.
Is that it should be where it would be so unthinkable to pull a fire alarm.
I should want to take that seriously.
Instead, I knew immediately what it was.
I said, this is what they do all the time.
Coincidence.
Yeah.
Fire alarm.
As soon as we hit the stage.
We did not find the guy.
They did not get him arrested yet or her.
Totally anonymous because of the masks and the hood.
So the event went on without a glitch from that point forward.
Candace was terrific and we fielded questions and a lot of the clips are going to go viral.
I'm confident of that.
And so then afterwards, it was really late at night.
I had plans to go to a certain restaurant.
Didn't go to that restaurant.
And then I went to kind of a local bar, if you will, where I drank club soda while everyone else was having a good time.
And it's kind of like a local cheers bar, if you will, kind of the local neighborhood area for the Wheeling area, kind of where I grew up.
And first, it's kind of a hangout of the muscular class, right?
Police officers, firefighters, plumbers.
Some people recognized us, but it was so interesting.
There is a stirring happening in our country right now, like a legitimate stirring.
People are angry.
And then a couple of people came into the bar that I knew growing up.
And it was like, it's been 10 years since I've seen them.
And people that I remembered as Democrats, like legit Obama Democrats.
And you would have thought that I was talking to like Tucker Carlson.
I mean, they are, they're upset, they're motivated.
And it was only said about five or six times.
I can't wait for November.
I can't wait for November.
Like, I'm not even saying this.
I'm just, I'm just trying to watch the basketball game the Bulls were on, which despite my protest against the National Basketball Association, I'm still pulling for the Bulls.
And people kept coming up and they said, Charlie, we got to take back the house.
I'm like, I know.
I'm just, I'm trying to have a meal here.
Like, totally.
And I wasn't like annoyed.
I was just blown away that there is this pressure cooker that has been activated in America.
There is a stirring from the bottom up.
And it was, and then three cops came over, muscular class guys, and they all recognized what we were doing and were super nice.
And they said they were Democrats their entire life.
They're now all Republicans.
And I'm thinking to myself, like, this is not normal.
Like, we have not seen this kind of spark of enthusiasm.
And if all of a sudden the local neighborhood bar, which is supposed to be kind of like a neutral territory, you know, you kind of hang out, you see some people and you watch some sports is all of a sudden turned into kind of like the local Republican precinct headquarters where they're talking about like, what candidates running for this?
Like, can we get rid of Pritzker?
And like, we got to take, you know, we got to try to take back the house and we got to impeach Joe Biden.
I'm like, what is going on here?
This is the suburbs of Chicago.
Like, this is supposed to be, if anything, they might like disagree with Biden, but they kind of take a step back.
And so one other thing I was really struck by is these people that used to be Democrats, a lot of them, who obviously hate the regime are going to vote against it, is the insistence on Ron DeSantis.
So I just asked him, I said, who do you guys like?
And like, unanimous, like eight of them, DeSantis, DeSantis, DeSantis, DeSantis.
I'm like, whoa.
And I said, why?
They said, he's a leader.
He's fighting.
He's unafraid to stand up against the media.
And they even said, many of them, we don't agree with everything he's done, but we think he's doing what he's doing for the right reasons.
He's defending his voters, and he's all of what we want with courage and charisma.
Wow, that's so interesting.
And this is a microcosm, obviously, but the national polling is showing that this is happening as well.
That this is not just an isolated incident.
And so one other kind of person came up and all they wanted to talk about was like, why is it that local schools are now talking about transgender stuff to kids?
It's like, yeah, I don't know.
And again, I have no expectation coming to this like local bar, only place serving food at like 10.30 at night after our event with Candace Owens.
And I got to thinking about like this cut.
Let's go to Cut 72, Jen Psaki, saying that it should be normal for teachers to talk with kindergartners about if they're a girl or a boy.
Now, mind you, at this bar, we're like bikers and truckers, welders and plumbers, mechanics, police officers.
It's who we call the muscular class.
You want to know why the muscular class have become like rabid right-wingers?
This is why.
Play Cut 72.
And so what do you do if a parent or a kid, should I say, a kid in one of these elementary schools says, what about Sally?
Sally has two moms.
Or I'm not sure if I'm a girl or a boy.
I mean, these are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in their lives.
Yeah.
You want to know why all of a sudden the local neighborhood bar has been activated into now kind of mobilizing for local Republican action?
It's because you have the top levels of our government not concerned about inflation or gas prices, not concerned about the deterioration of kind of national morale, not about drug overdoses, but they're worried about whether kindergarten teachers are able to talk about some of the most controversial and radical subjects and topics.
We're seeing a realignment happening.
I'm telling you, there's something special.
Hispanics are going to the Republican direction in massive numbers.
We're starting to see moms rise up.
The Parents Party is just strengthening.
And meanwhile, we have the pervert party, the Democrats, that are super focused on trying to teach your kids about hyper sensitive sexual matters.
What's so great about this moment, and I really hope this can be, I hope this can be scaled for years and decades to come because I'm seeing a winning coalition start to come together.
I'm seeing a winning coalition of people of different backgrounds and religious affiliations and all kind of have agreement on liberty, on free expression, separation of powers, on borders.
And so we're seeing this happen in a lot of different ways.
We're going to get into some of the news, by the way, of Elon Musk, who looks like he is going to do a tender offer, $40 billion plus dollar tender offer of Twitter, which is incredibly exciting.
Musk secures $46.5 billion in funding to buy Twitter, says he's ready for tender offer, which technically means that then the people that own shares, of which I will be one very soon, I'm going to go buy some shares of Twitter just so that I will be able to vote on it.
Musk's $40 Billion Twitter Offer00:09:07
And I will come back to Twitter if Musk succeeds.
I will.
If Musk ends up being the owner of Twitter, I will happily become a participant in that.
However, right now, not going to happen.
Disney is down major.
Disney is down 20% year to date.
Netflix lost 38% of its market value yesterday, 38%.
So we're seeing the forces of kind of gravity.
Remember, team reality, that's what we're on.
We don't try to overthink it.
We have the humility, hopefully, I pray, every day to know that we are tied to the pesky shackles of reality, that you just don't get to create your own existence out of your wishes and your feelings out of the abstract.
Like, actually, no, we are going to have to live by the laws of nature and nature is God.
And one of the experiments in pushing how far reality can go is a $1 billion project that has now been completely and totally scrapped.
CNN Plus, the $1 billion project from Warner Brothers, is now canceled.
CNN Plus, the cable's network subscription service, is folding after just four weeks after its launch in late March.
According to the New York Times, CNN Plus will cease operations on Saturday, April 30th.
CNN launched on March 29th and was offered either a $6 a month or $60 a year.
In addition to its on-demand library of services and films, CNN Plus featured live online programming hosted by CNN staples and anchors who were poached from other networks like Chris Wallace and NBC News Cassie Hunt.
After just a couple weeks, it was such a failure that they had to scrap it all together.
They were planning to spend a billion dollars on it.
Chris Wallace, okay.
Chris Wallace left Fox News and came to CNN and has been a total failure.
CNN Plus is just another example of the forces of market gravity working against the woke.
So you have Twitter that is now being taken over by Elon Musk.
You have Netflix that is cratering.
You have Disney that is cratering.
And now CNN Plus is not just doing poorly, it's done.
It's over.
In nine days, CNN Plus will be completely scrapped.
What is winning is what is organic.
We could not find a space big enough in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to fit all the people that wanted to come here from Candace Owens and I.
We couldn't find.
And by the way, not only do we do that, we did that the same night at the same time the defending NBA champions, Milwaukee Bucks, were playing Chicago in Milwaukee.
And we still filled it up.
And we could have had probably five or ten times as many people.
I think we could have had 3,000, 4,000 people if we really would have promoted it and we would have got a bigger arena.
People are hungry right now.
And what's amazing is when people come up and ask questions, there's some people that are like, you know, love you guys.
Some people are just like, hey, I'm agreeing with a lot of what you're saying.
How about this?
Can you clarify that?
The curiosity of, hey, why is this country all of a sudden falling apart?
I don't understand.
So what are Western values?
Western values, of course, freedom of speech, discourse, dialogue, separation of powers, checks and balances, consent of the governed.
Now, we are in a situation where the oligarchs, the people in charge of our society, we call them the elites, the ruling class, they're doing everything they possibly can to make sure that speech is not able to happen online.
Well, Elon Musk is now trying to do something about it.
Elon Musk is coming in with $40 plus billion dollars to do a tender offer of Twitter.
Breaking news this morning, it looks like it's going to be that offer is going to happen.
Funding secured and one of the largest asset transfers in the history of business, Cut 68.
Elon Musk, play Cut 68.
Take a look at Twitter, please.
Elon Musk says, and this is important.
Musk says he has secured $46.5 billion in commitments to help finance a potential Twitter deal.
Sounds like he's got the money to me, and the stock is up 1%.
How about Tesla?
Is having a stellar day after a blowout earnings report.
Stellar indeed, it's up nearly 9%, 1,064 bucks per share.
So, Tesla, which has a philosophy from its CEO, which is not woke, is ascending and is growing.
CNN Plus has shuttered after a couple weeks.
And Twitter is now going to receive a tender offer.
A tender offer means that the board of directors will not be the only ones that vote on this.
A tender offer means every shareholder will have an opportunity whether or not to accept or deny the bid from Elon Musk.
So, I'm going to tell the guy that manages my stocks for me, hey, go buy a couple shares of Twitter.
I'm going to go vote on it.
So, I'm going to go buy what are Twitter shares are probably up today on the news, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, they're up a little bit, and actually, not that bad.
It's 46 bucks.
It is the least I can do.
So, I'm going to send a text in the break.
So, hey, go buy a couple shares of Twitter.
And by the way, if the tender offer goes through, the stock price is going to go up.
And this is all public information.
And so, I'm going to do that.
You should as well, if you want to vote on whether or not Elon Musk should be able to take it off.
You want to talk about democracy dying in darkness?
Well, let's turn Twitter into a democracy, at least for right now.
Let's all go buy shares and we can vote on them.
Producer Andrew is going to buy some.
I'm sure producer Connor will.
And we're just going to get, I'm going to not for anything else, then I want to be able to vote on Elon Musk doing a tender offer to take over Twitter, which I believe is fundamental for online discourse and for a free society.
And if Twitter creators, I'm not going to go buy a bunch of Twitter stock.
I'm going to buy a couple of shares.
It's like whatever.
It's like, it's like going out to lunch now, $46, unfortunately.
Going out to lunch is a lot cheaper than that.
So I encourage, if you're interested in actually saying, what can I do?
You go buy a share or two or Twitter, a tender offer, you'll get something in the mail.
Oh, you'll get notified with an opportunity to vote on whether or not this deal goes through.
I'm maxing out my knowledge on merger and acquisition law.
But from every expert I've talked to, and I've talked to a couple billionaires in this business, just kind of texting back and forth, that all seems to check out and seems to be correct as Elon Musk now comes with the funding to do that.
Okay, let's get to some sound here.
Cut 71, short montage of mainstream media going after Musk for wanting to buy Twitter, calling the move dangerous.
Play cut 71.
Elon Musk wants to change the way we tweet, but could his obsession with free speech on the platform take us down a dangerous path?
Elon Musk's hostile takeover bid for Twitter.
Right-wing media is celebrating Musk's bid, saying he's going to rescue free speech.
You know, it's kind of funny how Elon Musk wants to buy it, but there are massive life and globe altering consequences for just letting people run wild on the thing.
The media is collectively losing its mind.
They're doing everything they possibly can to try and stop it.
I mean, even calling Saudi princes to come in, like, yeah, let's go trust the Saudi princes on free speech.
Like, you should probably sit this one out.
Not exactly a pinnacle of Saudi society is freedom of speech.
I encourage all of you to listen to Elon Musk's entire TED talk.
And look, I've said this all on, and I think this is, you need to have fair views of things.
Elon on the Neuralink thing, I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
And I would love some opportunity eventually to talk to Elon Musk and have a conversation with him about this, either on air or off-air, and really kind of dive into.
I mean, he obviously would make some brilliant points, I'm sure, but messing with the human mind, not something I'm okay with, not even a little bit.
But the boring company to SpaceX, it's amazing.
Now, Elon Musk looks like this is a tweet he put out.
A social media platform's policies are good if the most extreme 10% of the left and right are equally unhappy.
Dave Rubin says the problem is that the right generally wants the left to be on platforms so they can expose the lunacy.
The left generally wants people banned, fired, and erased.
It's very true.
And look, I'll say this.
I don't know what you consider to be the quote-unquote far right or what that even means.
I have no problem, and I haven't had any problem with all of these maniacs on the left to be able to tweet out all of their nonsense.
Just let us do that.
As I continually am suspended from Twitter and I refuse to delete the tweet.
I just have to say, again, I am not taking credit for this.
Farage Interview Exposes Media Lies00:10:54
I can't stand when people do it.
But just the fact that, and I will acknowledge this, the fact that our tweet about that guy that thinks he's a woman that runs the health, whatever, I can never remember what title.
It's like Health Czar, like Rear Admiral or something.
I think that's right.
Like a Rear Admiral of Health.
The fact that we've even played a part in the chapter of exposing Twitter and the straw that breaks the camel's back of Elon Musk taking over Twitter has been one of just one of the most great moments of my life.
Being an entrepreneur and running a business is not for the faint of heart.
I have two jobs.
I do the Charlie Kirk show till noon, then Turning Point USA till I go to sleep and all the problems in between.
A lot of stress.
330 days on the road I spent last year.
But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable.
That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily.
About 75% of people are magnesium deficient.
That number might be higher among business owners and C-level professionals.
That's because stress depletes magnesium levels.
This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency.
This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy.
It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep.
Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things?
Well, the answer is yes.
In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body.
So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient.
The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines.
But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium.
Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms.
They're not full spectrum.
There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium.
You must get all of them if you want to experience its calming, stress-relieving effects.
That's why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough from Buy Optimizers.
It's the only full organic, full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium for stress relief, better sleep all in one bottle.
Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels.
And how much rest did you feel when you wake up?
How much more rested do you feel when you wake up?

Nigel Farage is amazing, and I want to just touch a little bit on this story because it just shows how dishonest the media is.
Regardless of your opinions of Trump, this was a drive-by shooting.
It was a hatchet job.
So if you were kind of going through news yesterday, you probably would have fallen victim to believing that Donald Trump stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan and Piers Morgan was just calm, cool, and collected.
So Piers Morgan sat down with Donald Trump and totally misrepresented what actually happened.
The real audio has now been released and shows that Piers Morgan is a liar.
And one man tried to warn Donald Trump about this.
And that is the great Nigel Farage.
And Nigel actually gave Trump a dossier of all the garbage Pierce has said about Trump.
And he's with us right now to help build this out.
The great Nigel Farage is with us.
Nigel, welcome back to the program.
Charlie, thank you very much indeed.
Yes, I was at Mar-a-Lago two weeks ago on more of a social visit than a business visit, but always good to meet the president and exchange ideas and see what's going on.
And as ever, offer my encouragement because, you know, he's a man not just of vision, but of great courage too, which is what I admire so much about him.
Now, I knew that Piers Morgan was about to start a new show for Rupert Murdoch in London and also to do some work on Fox Nation in the USA too.
And Morgan has for years boasted that he's got great access to Donald Trump, that Trump's a great friend, and that he's the man on the British side of the pond.
He's the man, you know, who can access Trump like no other.
And I just pointed out Donald Trump.
I said, Piers will come knocking on your door for an interview.
Let me just show you the things that he said about you in the last two years.
And he's called Trump unhinged.
He's called him a mafia boss.
He's used endless narcissists, endless terms of abuse.
I said, please do not think this man is your friend.
And I did, not because I wanted to stitch him up, because I'm sick, Charlie, of people getting close to Trump and then riding off the back of him, using and abusing him for their own advantage and to his discredit.
You've seen it, I'm sure, as well.
I'm sick of that dishonesty.
So the interview did happen.
Clearly, Trump read my dossier and was very unhappy.
But then at the end, what Morgan did is the lowest thing I think anybody in journalism could do.
The interview was over and we have the audio of it.
And they have deliberately, willfully misedited it, used it in a promo for the show, put it on the front page of the Sun newspaper, the biggest selling newspaper in the UK.
And the whole world last night believed that Trump had stormed off an interview when, in fact, the interview was over.
Trump got up.
And by the time he said, turn the cameras off, they'd already said their goodbyes.
It is dishonest, disgusting, deceitful.
It's just the worst kind of journalism.
And somehow, because it's Donald Trump, the rest of the media don't cry foul.
Well, I know the Charlie Kirk show is, and I hope many others do too.
It's just wrong.
Yeah, it's totally wrong.
And you listen to the audio.
They talked for over an hour and everything seemed rather pleasant and fine.
And they turn it into this overly dramatic and theatrical trailer that makes Donald Trump look really negative.
And I don't want to dwell too much on Piers Morgan because he really is just kind of, he's a narcissist.
He is.
He's really into himself.
But let's just touch on this a little bit, which you mentioned people taking advantage of Trump.
And so you provided that document.
Trump decided to still do the interview.
And this kind of just, you know, unfolded from there.
In the future, I would imagine that there needs to be a different policy of just kind of who you conduct interviews with, right?
Like who around there allowed this interview to actually occur and happen?
Well, I think the reason it happened, if I'm being honest with you, is because, of course, Rupert Murder also owns Fox News.
And that is still a very big, powerful medium in America.
I'm guessing that's why he did it.
But look, I think, I mean, of one thing I'm certain, he will never trust Piers Morgan again.
It's a shame that he decided to continue with this one.
I hope next time I warn him, he does actually act for what I suggest.
But I mean, it raises bigger questions.
I mean, you know, you would have thought that of all the media organizations, it was the ones owned by Rupert Murdoch, who might actually be friendlier towards, you know, Donald Trump.
And already, Caitlin Jenner has announced that Caitlin has withdrawn from an appearance due to make on Wednesday.
And I bet you there are a lot of executives at Fox today absolutely fuming at what Morgan has done, thinking, well, hey, maybe he's damaged Trump's relationship with the Murdoch Empire.
And I think, to be honest with you, you know, we're all due an apology of some kind.
And yet all Morgan does now, and I know we don't want to dwell on him, but all Morgan does is just go on the attack.
It is just very low grade.
And you're right.
I think what Trump needs, I think Trump needs some gatekeepers around him to really protect him from, and this is frankly just abuse, isn't it?
It's horrible, horrible abuse.
He needs more protection.
So in closing here, Nigel, I want to be really respectful of your time.
There seems to be a movement that is worldwide.
We're seeing this unfold in France.
And that is just kind of a citizen-led movement to reclaim what nations are supposed to be.
You're a proud nationalist and you're one of the most articulate defenders in the West of that sort of governing philosophy.
Touch on a little bit of what we're seeing in France.
Are you seeing it in the United Kingdom?
Because we're certainly seeing it here in America.
Well, we saw it in the United Kingdom.
I mean, I think that Brexit was the early outpouring.
I think for once we were kind of first with the trend.
Normally we follow everything America does, but I think in this case, we kind of led the way a bit with Brexit.
And, you know, we have got our independence back.
We have got our sovereignty back.
And now we've got to make decisions about how we use it.
And I think the Trump phenomenon was part of Banana.
I, quite honestly, if the media and social media had played fair, if there wasn't the mass mail out of tens of billions of ballots, you know, I don't think for one moment we'd be in a position, frankly, where Joe Biden is there in the White House.
In France, well, the election for president takes place this Sunday.
It is probable that the incumbent and the globalist Macron will win, but he's not going to win by very much.
And it's really interesting to think of just how much of an outsider Maureen Le Pen is.
The fact that somebody who is completely loathed by the entirety of the establishment is kind of within, not quite, but almost within the margin of error of winning the French presidency shows you that actually the movement that I've been a part of for all these long years, the movement that you're very prominent in, actually it's a very healthy, democratic movement.
And I really believe across the Western world, we are gaining traction across a broader range of countries.
And it doesn't feel like it every day, but actually, Charlie, I think we're winning.
I totally agree.
So, Nigel, I know you're tight on time.
Thank you so much for coming on the program.
And thank you for what you're fighting for and for defending Western values.
