Hey everybody, Andrew Colvin in for Charlie Kirk one last time.
I explained something that has not gotten enough attention on this.
Just how big and how important Charlie Kirk's college tours have become.
And we're even seeing this play out in the protests.
World of the left and how Gen Z is like not even showing up.
Well, I happen to think Charlie has a big role to play in that.
We also welcome in Mike Davis to go through all of the big Supreme Court wins for President Trump.
Folks, the tide is turning.
Common sense is returning to our country and the Article 2 powers vested in the president.
We break it down and much more.

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.

All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Andrew Colvett in for the one and only Charlie Kirk.
I want you guys to appreciate just how incredible it is, what the team has accomplished, what Charlie Kirk has accomplished, what the TPUSA field team has accomplished.
I think we're doing about 20, 21, 22 different campus stops.
Sometimes the logistics are such that we're just not able to have him in the studio or even remote to do a show.
And so we appreciate your guys' understanding of that.
And I just want you to see the fruit of it.
The fruit is that these videos get cut up and seen by millions and millions and millions of people.
And in fact, billions of views.
There was...
We estimate somewhere between 4.5 billion views if you count all the accounts that take the footage and rip it and they post it.
And some people get upset about that stuff.
We don't care.
We just want more people to see these debates happen where young people are getting exposed to freedom ideas and conservative ideas.
And it has a parallel because over the weekend, April 5th, there was this large nationwide protest called Hands Off.
Now, it's a total bought and paid for, astroturfed sort of protest.
But there's a clip going around that I wanted to play for you all, and I just think it's remarkable.
The clip is a young woman that is saying, hey, I'm here, and she's got her pro-Palestine headscarf on, and she's out there saying, hey, where is Gen Z?
Why is Gen Z not in the streets protesting Elon Musk and Donald Trump?
So I'm going to play that clip for you, and then we're going to talk about what Charlie on this show is accomplishing, you and that audience is accomplishing, and how it all ties together for a brighter future that nobody saw coming about five years ago.
149. I'm at the protest right now in New York City, anti-Trump, anti-fascist protest, and I have one question.
Where the...
Gen Z. These people are cheering, they're talking like it's just the 60s, it's just like the 60s, and they're having conversations and walking slowly.
There's no fight here.
There's no youth here.
It's all 30-somethings and their children.
And then seniors, and God bless everybody who showed up today, but I'm really disappointed in the youth turnout.
Where is the youth turnout?
Barely any teenagers.
Barely any teenagers ever.
Like, these, oh my god.
I can't even.
Like, where are you going if you're not going to the protest right now?
What's more important?
So there's old people.
You've got, like, Joan Baez and Neil Young are going to be headlining some protests coming up this week.
It sort of begs the question, what happened to that youth rebel energy?
Well, guess what?
They're wearing MAGA hats now.
Gen Z is not participating in this because they know it's a scam.
They know it.
It's baked into the calculus for them.
This is the same generation that was told the only way to succeed was to put yourself into mountains of debt and get a college degree, and that was a lie.
They were told you're never going to own anything, you're always going to be renters, and you're going to love it, which is a lie.
Young men were told that they were toxic.
Lie. Young women were told they had to be boss babes.
And corporate slaves and childless and unmarried to be happy, freeze their eggs?
Another lie.
Gen Z is part of this generation that has been demonized by older generations that came before them.
And not you in this audience.
You are the exception.
If you are a boomer or old Gen Xer or silent generation listening to this, you're part of the good guys.
So this is not directed at you, but generally speaking, Older generations sold them out.
You guys probably are not aware of what it feels like to be Gen Z if you're not in that generation.
I'm not in that generation.
I'm a millennial.
But some of the same trends held true for me.
Gen Z has parents and grandparents that inherited a rich and powerful America.
The envy of the world and handed off to them a weakened country, a debt-riddled country with annual deficits in the trillions of dollars that's divided over race, ethnicity, whether or not there's two genders, and every other social science abstraction that they invented in a college laboratory that they graduated from without any debt now costs $75,000 or more a year to attend.
They got to go in debt.
Debt is why we have YRefi as one of our partners on this show.
Because so many young people are in these mountains of debt that put off family formation, put off getting married, put off buying a home.
And for what?
They were sold a bill of lies.
And so I love seeing Charlie out on these college campuses changing the contours.
Of the political movement in this country, a tectonic shift where everybody just assumed that young people were going to be liberal and progressive and radically so.
And yet, of course, we've still got issues with young women.
And there are still some radically progressive young people.
It's not to say that the battle is over.
And that's exactly why Charlie is going back out on the road.
It's exactly why, instead of resting on our laurels, Charlie decided, hey, it's time to hit the road again and double down and triple down.
So these crowds, they're huge.
And these clips get seen by millions and millions and millions of people.
And this is something Charlie would not tell you.
But I'm happy to tell you.
It probably feels a little bit braggadocious for Charlie to do it himself.
But I will tell you this.
There was a feature article in the New York Times that came out about a month ago.
And it said how Charlie Kirk became the youth whisperer of the conservative movement.
And one of the facts that is hidden in that article that is just mind-blowing is that the author of that article is a guy named Robert Draper, really celebrated, famous New York Times columnist.
He went and spoke to TikTok directly.
And what he found out from TikTok was remarkable.
First, Charlie is the most trusted voice amongst young people in the country.
Two, Charlie had the third most engaged TikTok in the country behind President Donald Trump, the Trump campaign, then Charlie Kirk, and then the Kamala campaign.
So you guys are all a part of making this huge tectonic shift in our politics happen.
And I just wanted to tell you that because I don't think he's willing to say that out loud himself, but it's a huge accomplishment.
So hats off to all the teams that play a part in that.
History, economics, the great works of literature.
Did you study these things in school?
Probably not.
Or even if you did, maybe it's time for an enjoyable refresher.
Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses, including their newest course on totalitarian novels.
In this free eight-lecture course, you'll learn from Hillsdale College president Larry Arnn as he goes in-depth on four novels, 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, and That Hideous Strength.
I love all four.
Even though these novels were written in the 1930s and 40s, they're highly relevant today as they show what a tyrannical government does to human nature.
More importantly, they can show us that faith, family, and friends are worth fighting for.
Maybe you read these books a long time ago in school.
Maybe you've heard others talk about them, and they seem a little intimidating.
Let Hillsdale College, America's greatest college, help you make the most of them.

Without further ado, I have my friend and friend of the show, Mike Davis, joining us.
Mike, welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show.
Thanks for having me back on.
So, Mike, you know, there's been a lot of hemming and hawing and consternation and gnashing of teeth on the right as President Trump's agenda has...
Continuously been thwarted by activist judges, judge shopping.
We've seen a break in the dam, however, in the last two days.
For our audience's sake, I think there's two big ones, but we could go deeper than that.
Break down what has transpired in the last two days.
How is it broken down at SCOTUS?
And what does it mean for the Trump administration moving forward?
So very quickly, President Trump campaigned on the fact that he's going to hire Elon Musk, set up the Department of Government Efficiency, cut waste, fraud, and abuse, secure our border, and get illegal immigrants, particularly foreign terrorists, the hell out of our country.
President Trump is doing the unthinkable.
He's doing exactly what he promised American voters he would do, and he's doing it fast.
Right? And he won a broad electoral mandate.
312 electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote.
He kept the House.
He won a comfortable majority in the Senate.
And he is ready to lead on day one.
So these activist plaintiffs are going to these activist judges and sabotaging the president.
He's not stealing Congress's Article I legislative power.
He's not stealing the Supreme Court's Article 3 judicial power.
He's exercising core article 2 executive power to take care that our laws are faithfully executed, to secure our country, to repel an invasion, to secure our border, to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.
These activist judges...
...have been sabotaging them, have been sabotaging President Trump for the last three months.
And so the Supreme Court has finally put on its big boy pants, and it is finally stopping this judicial sabotage.
This is not judicial review by these activist judges.
This is judicial sabotage.
And so we saw where this started because the Chief Justice and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the liberals and let Judge Ali, this guy in D.C.
who just got confirmed in the lame duck session after Democrats won the White House, lost the White House in the Senate, Judge Ali, who brags he's the first Muslim, the first Arab judge in DC, ordered President Trump to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over the president's national security review to make sure, for example, we're not funding Hamas terrorists who are killing Americans under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid.
The Supreme Court let Ali.
Force the president to send out those checks.
That only emboldens these other activist judges.
They used a legal technicality that it was a temporary restraining order, which it wasn't.
But because it was a temporary restraining order, according to the Chief Justice and Barrett and the three libs, it was not immediately appealable.
And that's where we saw this onslaught of lawfare by these Democrat activists for the last...
Two months.
And the Supreme Court is finally stopping this.
They finally said that these TROs are not TROs.
These are permanent injunctions.
They're appealable.
You finally have the Supreme Court stopping another activist judge in D.C., trying to sabotage an ongoing military operation to get terrorists.
You're seeing with the Supreme Court today that these probationary employees who President Trump fired because they don't have tenure, 16,000 of them, an activist judge said that Trump had to rehire, the Supreme Court stopped that.
So you're finally seeing the Supreme Court feeling the political pressure and putting these activist judges in their place.
So I want to get into the Amy Coney Barrett.
Now, we just heard Caroline Levitt in the press conference was asked about this, whether or not the Trump administration was disappointed.
in her ruling.
Now, she sided with the three liberal justices in that.
And actually, there's a picture going around the internet, I believe, that I sent it to you last night.
Go ahead and throw up 142.
Some hay has been made about this, the group of four women.
These were the against on this Alien Enemies Act ruling.
Now, what do you make of Are you surprised at the way she's been ruling recently, Mike, or did you see this coming a mile away?
No, I'm surprised.
You know, she clerked for...
Justice Scalia, she has solid conservative credentials.
I think that those home protests by the Democrats during the Dobbs decision rattled her.
She's a rattled law professor and, you know, sometimes law professors...
They overthink things and they don't have good judgment.
For example, with the TRO case, where Professor Amy Coney Barrett thought she was grading a civil procedure exam and said, well, this Judge Ali called it a temporary restraining order, so therefore it's not immediately appealable.
Any judge who had significant experience and good judgment would never have been duped by that, but Professor Amy Coney Barrett got duped by that.
That Professor Barrett has Justice Kagan with her claws in her.
Justice Kagan is the North Korean handler for the Democrats.
She's the one who tries to get her claws in these Republican justices.
I've seen it firsthand.
You know, the other justices tend to be smarter than this and understand they're getting played.
But Professor Barrett, maybe she's a little bit more aloof and doesn't understand that she's getting played.

I have to play this clip because it's just wonderful to watch CNN have to describe a victory at the Supreme Court for President Trump.
165. We start, though, with breaking news at the Supreme Court.
It just handed President Trump another win, allowing his administration to fire hundreds of probationary federal workers.
I want to get straight to Paula Reid, who was looking through the decision.
Paula, what did they say?
So, Dana, this is a significant win for the administration.
The fourth one that they have notched from the Supreme Court in just the past few days.
Here, this decision is focused on thousands of fired probationary federal workers.
Now, this decision will allow the government to keep those individuals off the payroll while the larger questions about these firings are litigated.
Now, this was decided not on a constitutional issue or really on the merits.
It was decided on something called standing, which is whether the individuals who brought this lawsuit had the right to do so.
And here the court says that the nine nonprofit organizations did not have standing in this case.
So what?
They're trying to do there, Mike, is basically limit the fallout, right?
They're helping their audience brace that, hey, this isn't all bad.
The sky is not falling.
Don't worry.
This isn't a constitutional issue.
We can still stop Trump.
What do these, you know, that she mentioned, four Supreme Court wins, what do these wins portend for the future of this judicial activism?
Are we seeing the Trump administration turnpile?
Both. But I'll say this, that...
These cases should be nine to nothing.
They are so clear cut.
They're so easy.
If this were President Biden, there's no question these Democrat operatives in robes on the Supreme Court would be voting for Biden.
But because it's Trump, they're not.
Again, this should be nine to nothing.
And Justice Barrett is a rattled ball professor with her head up again, which is...
Not surprising, but these are easy cases.
Does the president have the executive power under Article 2 or not?
It's very clear in the Constitution that the executive power, all executive power belongs to the president and the president alone.
That means he can repel an invasion.
He can secure our border.
He can fire executive branch employees.
And look, there's recourse.
If these executive branch employees get fired, their recourse is to go to the merit system.
Protection Board.
If a contractor gets fired, their recourse is to go to the Court of Federal Claims under the Jones Act.
It is not to go to a Democrat activist judge.
And get a so-called temporary restraining order with a nationwide injunction that essentially sets policy that takes over the president's executive powers and takes over Congress's legislative powers.
The judges are not supposed to operate that.
They're supposed to be the least dangerous branch.
They have a modest but crucial rule, and that is to decide cases or controversies for the parties in front of them who have redressable claims.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That's what's key here.
One of the best points I think that's being made and being brought up with these national injunctions is that at a lower district court level, the ruling should be limited to the parties named.
It should not be extracted and extrapolated out to the national legal precedents because there's one court in the land.
In the Constitution that has national jurisdiction, that would be the Supreme Court.
That's the only court, actually, in Article 3. It says Congress can therefore then make other courts and designate other courts to handle other jurisdictions.
But they serve at the sanctioning of Congress.
So it's a fascinating legal discussion, Mike.
I want to know what, of all of these suggestions that are being floated out there of how to reform the courts, which one you prefer, right?
I mean, Senator Mike Lee has this idea that instead of judges, you get a random selection of three federal court judges that would then, so you don't get to pick.
You just get assigned, right, in a lottery system.
I think that's fairly interesting because as it is right now, Mike, and I think you'd agree, one district court judge has more unilateral power.
...than a Supreme Court justice, because they have to rule one of nine.
These guys get one of one.
They have so much power, and they shut everything down, grinds to a halt.
So much is going on in the world.
Elbridge Colby, who we supported on this show, Charlie Kirk personally, just got confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
The only Republican to vote no would be Mitch McConnell.
He is one of the luminaries of the national security brain trust in this country.
He's been proven right time and time again, and he just got confirmed.
Really excited about that.
The world is waking up to the power of gold.
National banks are scrambling to secure it.
According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying.
They understand what many investors don't.
Gold is real money.
Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending, or market crashes.
Now, Noble Gold Investments makes it easy for you to claim your share.
As our new administration works to reverse the economic chaos of the past, market swings are inevitable.
When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to keep you on the path to financial freedom.
Gold can be that foundation.

That's noblegoldinvestments.com.
The world is turning to gold.
Shouldn't you be looking into doing that, too?
There's a Well, fortunately, I don't have a magic wand.
I have Senator Mike Lee and Chuck Grassley and John Thune and their staffs.
And I'm working very closely with them on these pieces of legislation along with House members.
Look, when the federal judiciary loses its legitimacy, it loses everything.
And I sent pretty public warnings to the Chief Justice that if you don't get your judicial house in order, Congress is going to do it for you.
And I think the Chief Justice got the message, as we've seen with the last four.
Supreme Court rulings.
And look, we don't even need a legislative fix.
If the Supreme Court would just rein in these activist judges, we would be fine.
If the Supreme Court would just say that under Article 3 of our Constitution, judges can only decide cases or controversies.
With the parties before the court who have redressable claims.
They can't do nationwide injunctions.
That's the Article 3 judicial power.
And if they would just do that, we would not have to reform these courts.
But until then, what I think needs to happen, and I'm working very closely with the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary Committee on this, along with leadership, is aggressive oversight, impeachment probes for people like Jeb Boesberg, who egregiously violate the law and put American allied lives in danger, cutting $2 billion in the federal judiciary's $10 billion annual budget because Judge Ali let $2 billion go out the door to fund his Hamas terrorist buddies
I think that we should eliminate The D.C. Superior Court, which I think is unconstitutional under the appointments clause because the president doesn't get to pick the judges he wants, and then the D.C. District Court can take the D.C. Superior Court's jurisdiction on street crimes and local D.C. disputes and then randomly draw judges from around the country to handle all other national cases in D.C. because we have Obama and Biden radicals along with Republican wimps.
All right, I'm going to change gears here really quick, but that's a very thought-out answer, and I think we're going to clip it and make sure the right people get it, because I think that was well thought through, Mike.
But I'm going to change gears here really quick.
There's a breaking story out of L.A. If you could throw up image 166 here.
A 43-year-old Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino And Andrew,
I think he raped a 16-year-old, too.
In addition to this boy, I think he raped another...
Yeah, he was a soccer coach, and so he was exposed to a lot of these young boys.
It's really sick stuff.
The L.A. County DA is charging Garcia Aquino with alleged sexual assault of another boy, 16, in February of 2024.
So what do we got to do to rein in these?
One minute left, Mike, to rein in these sanctuary cities.
What can be done?
This has got to stop.
Well, I think that, number one, this...
This murderer, this child rapist and murderer, this pedophile needs to be brutally executed in public to send a very powerful message that if you're going to harm kids, if you're gonna rape kids and murder kids, we are gonna viciously...
Brutally execute you as a powerful deterrence and retribution.
But I would also say this, to these cities, to these nonprofit organizations, it is a federal crime to harbor illegal aliens, right?
And so keep doing what you're doing and see what comes from Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Kash Patel and the others in the Justice Department.
you may end up being in prison for harboring these illegal immigrants.
I totally agree with that.
We need to start making examples out of these people that are harboring illegal immigrants.
You know, I'm sick of the micro, the sob stories, the one-offs, this really good person here that it doesn't matter.
OK, this is a macro problem.
They're all criminals.
Exactly. They all are criminals.
They broke our laws to get in here.
They gamed our asylum laws.
And, you know, it's like this El Salvadorian guy that got sent to the prison in El Salvador.
He was an MS-13 gang member, but he got to stay because he made up some tribe story about how he'd be in physical harm if he went back to El Salvador.
Anyway, we got to stop allowing those loopholes to happen.
