The episode showcases Charlie’s signature banter, his unapologetically conservative worldview, and frequent moments of humor and candor with young conservative audiences. Although politics never fully disappears, the focus is on values, personal growth, family, faith, and some good-natured debates on superheroes, sports, and even pancakes vs. waffles.

Transcript

[Charlie Kirk]

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord. Use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold. But the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. Mr. Stein.

[Sebi]

Well, Mr. Stein, that's my government name. My street name is Charlie Kurt, the world's greatest college debater. And I know you are a seasoned debater, but I am the best. And I must say, Charlie, you are talking about immigration. You are talking about deportations, mass deportations. But I must say that my housekeeper, Juanita has raised me since I was a little boy, and she's as legal as hell. She's legal and legal illegal. So I want to say that. Charlie, why would you want to kick out my housekeeper? Because we need to protect all big booty Latinas. If you're a nine, you are fine.

[Charlie Kirk]

You get to stay.

[Sebi]

If you're an 8, we can have an immigration debate. If you're a 6, you can kick bricks. But, Charlie, let's protect my housekeeper. Why does Juanita have to go?

[Charlie Kirk]

Charlie, you said she's legal, right?

[Sebi]

She's illegal.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, illegal.

[Sebi]

Oh, yeah, she's very illegal. No paper.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm sorry. They all got to go.

[Sebi]

No, Charlie, I can't afford to pay a legal one. It's like 50 cents an hour for her.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's gonna break. Break your bank.

[Sebi]

Charlie, please, just let the lady stay. She's not.

[Charlie Kirk]

No amnesty, no deportations, no exceptions. They're all going.

[Sebi]

Okay, well, I still won this debate.

[Charlie Kirk]

I love. Charlie.

[Audience Member 1]

We love it.

[Sebi]

We love you, Charlie.

[Charlie Kirk]

God bless. You want a hat, Charlie?

[Sebi]

You rule.

[Charlie Kirk]

Thanks, guys. Thank you, Alex.

[Audience Member 1]

Hey, what's up, Charlie? I think you covered this this morning during cls, but I want to. I just want to ask it again in My area where I live, it's a small, rural. It's a small county in Georgia. And I just feel like that. I just feel like that I can't find any. I can't find a. A girl there. And I kind of know what I'm looking for. But do you have any advice for guys like me that may feel lonely?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, it's a great question. Did you hear my speech earlier at the chapter leadership summit?

[Audience Member 1]

I did, yes, sir.

[Charlie Kirk]

Did any of it resonate with you?

[Audience Member 1]

A little bit.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay, what parts resonated?

[Audience Member 1]

Just feeling like there's nobody good out there.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay, got it. So how about the whole part about, like, self improvement?

[Audience Member 1]

I've been thinking about that. I need to do that.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, you do.

[Theo]

Right.

[Charlie Kirk]

So, men, if you can't find a woman, whose fault is it your fault. Women, if you can't find a man, whose fault is it your fault. It is your fault if you can't find a mate. Even if that might not be technically true, it is the attitude that will find you a mate. Trust me. Okay? You will start thinking differently. You're presenting yourself better. You got to go all out. You got to try going to church. Trying to go in a small group. Here's a little hack. So you're in rural Georgia. Do you go to church? Yes, sir. If you want to find a wife, do you know who can find you a wife quicker than anybody else? God. Well, Jesus. Yes, but the pastor's wife. Pastor wives know all the women who are looking for husbands and they're really good at matchmaking. Here is a great piece of advice. Go up to the pastor's wife and say, I'm looking for a wife. Keep. Can you help me? Oh, my gosh. I know Mary Bella and I know Aunt Susan. And you'll have like six dates within an hour.

[Audience Member 1]

Well, the. The thing is, is that also I'm trying to. I'm trying to. I'm trying to figure out if I'm even trying to stay at my church that I'm at currently, so.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, then you got to get your life together. I gotta be honest. Okay, so I'm just being. I could talk to men this way. I don't know if. Where I'm going. Figure it out. Aim at what you want. This is the thing we, as mentioned, are really bad at meandering. It's not good. I don't know where. I'm making fun of you. I don't know where I'm going. Figure it out. Chart a course. If you're going to stay Stay and own it. You're going to leave. Own and leave it. The point is that we're really bad at indecision. Make dramatic action and then own that action.

[Audience Member 1]

Yes, sir.

[Charlie Kirk]

Whatever that might be. Find out what you want, get creative, get gritty, and you'll find your future wife. Yes, sir.

[Audience Member 1]

Thank you.

[Charlie Kirk]

God bless you, man. Thank you.

[Audience Member 2]

My name is Adelaide Christiansen, and my question is pancakes or waffles?

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, pancakes all day.

[Audience Member 2]

No.

[Charlie Kirk]

100%. No.

[Audience Member 2]

Why?

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, first of all, I think waffles get so soggy so quickly.

[Audience Member 2]

What does a pancake have to offer?

[Charlie Kirk]

Taste, texture.

[Audience Member 2]

They taste the same.

[Charlie Kirk]

Beauty. No, no, it does not. No, no. They do not taste the squares. No, no, no, no, no, no. See, the waffle, upon biting, it has a. It's not like. I'm not like anti waffle. I'm not like a, you know, not like a anti waffleite. But if you had to choose, I mean, there's. Is there anything more beautiful than just stack of pancakes on a Saturday morning?

[Audience Member 2]

A stack of waffles?

[Charlie Kirk]

No. See, first of all, they don't stack well. They're kind of like always piled. You ever see that? They just pile flat.

[Audience Member 2]

They're square.

[Charlie Kirk]

No. And then secondly, I know it's. It's too much crunch. It's just if I wanted that, I would just have a bag of trail mix.

[Audience Member 2]

Trail mix compared to waffles?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes. That's about the same level.

[Audience Member 2]

No. Okay.

[Charlie Kirk]

Are you a Waffle House person?

[Audience Member 2]

I live in California. There's.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay.

[Audience Member 2]

But I've been a couple times. Yeah, yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

Stay away from waffles.

[Audience Member 2]

But like, waffles versus trail mix, that's like zebras versus cats. That's crazy.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, no, they're about. About the same in my mind. I just. The consistency of waffles doesn't do it for me. I'm a pancake guy. God bless you. Thank you. Yes, you can thank. Very sweet. Thank you. Oh, miss, Next question.

[Audience Member 1]

Hey, Charlie, how you doing? I just wanted to ask you who your favorite superhero was and why.

[Charlie Kirk]

Favorite Batman.

[Audience Member 1]

Not Superman.

[Charlie Kirk]

Wait, Superman was unrealistic. I like Batman because at least there was this idea that the everyday man could eventually be a superhero.

[Audience Member 1]

Yeah, but Superman's, like, the most conservative superhero ever.

[Charlie Kirk]

Was. It was. Was.

[Audience Member 1]

The movie that came out yesterday is all about how Lois Lane decided to choose him over her career.

[Charlie Kirk]

So it used to be truth, justice, and the American way. And the new Superman is like truth, justice, and the betterment of the world. He became a citizen of the world.

[Audience Member 1]

Have you seen the new one?

[Charlie Kirk]

No, I have not.

[Audience Member 1]

When he. After he wins, he. He holds up an American flag.

[Charlie Kirk]

But don't you agree there's something that resonates with all of us about. I think Trump is Batman, when you think about it. Yeah, he is Batman. No, he's a class trader that grew up with a bunch of money, and he decided to go fight evil and stop his billionaire lifestyle for the betterment of the people of America or Gotham City. So you think that resonates with all of us, which is that you can throw yourself in. Superman doesn't resonate with me. It's like, born on a foreign planet and it's like the whole thing's all screwed up. Yeah.

[Audience Member 1]

He changed his personality to fit with our culture, which I think is a very conservative thing.

[Charlie Kirk]

So, I mean, I'm not that familiar with, I guess, that. I mean, I know Batman always resonated with me because it felt. Felt like he was fighting crime. He wouldn't put up with disorder. He wouldn't put up with, like, a messy New York City.

[Audience Member 1]

Really?

[Charlie Kirk]

You think Superman is, like, fine, but it's like, okay, create someone that's, you know, can fly and can travel time and, you know, laser beams out of his eyes and super strength. Like, okay, what else can he. I mean, it's like, cool. Where Batman was, like, very real. And I like real. All right. Thank you.

[Audience Member 1]

Can I get a hat?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, you can. God bless. God bless. Thank you.

[Lane Schoenberger]

This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment officer and founding partner of Y Refi. It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us. His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now hear Charlie, in his own words, tell you about why Refi.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm going to tell you guys about yrefi.com that is yrefy.com why refi is incredible. Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion. Why refi is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to yrefi.com that is why refi.com do you have a co borrower? Why Refi can get them released from the loan. You can skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty. It may not be available in all 50 states. Go to yrefi.com that is yrefy.com let's face it, if you have distress or default to student loans. It can be overwhelming because of privacy. Loan debt. So many people feel stuck. Go to yrefi.com that is yre f y.com private student loan debt relief. Why refi.com. next question. Hey, Charlie. My name is Brandon Parrish and I go to Jessup University in Rockland, California. What is a movie or TV show that best reflects what you would like America to be? Wow, that's a great question. A movie or a TV show that best reflects what I want America to be? I loved Leave it to Beaver growing up. Did anyone watch Leave it to Beaver? I have no idea. Half these people have no idea. I'm talking about the cliff Baloney likes Leave it to Beaver. Is that cliff up there? Loves it. It's not a perfect example because there's a lot wrong with this show. Yeah. But there was something that was underappreciated about Full House and. And the reason why it was good, the humor was not great, is that there was such a adamant that even though that it's like you live in San Francisco, we're going to combine everyone physically in one space. And honestly, that's how families used to be in our country. Now everyone scatters and you see each other for, like, Easter, Fourth of July and Christmas. So there was something about Full House, which is like, family is going to come, even if it means we're going to be uncomfortable. Like, family first, even if it means I don't have as much space. And I think that was the, like, hidden truth of Full House that was not always appreciated. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you. And I also. I also love Frasier. For those of you guys that watch Frasier, Frasier's a great show. Yes, sir. Next question. Hey, Charlie, I just want to ask you who your hero is. My hero? Yeah, like living. Or like a living hero, like your mom or something. Say that again. Like a living hero, like your mom or your dad or something. Oh, yeah, my parents are amazing. Yeah. It's an interesting question. I mean, I look up to each one of these people for different things. I look up to. I looked up to Rush Limbaugh for something. Donald Trump, Tony Robbins and Michael Jordan. Those are four of my favorite people for different reasons. And the through line is that I like people that push themselves to the absolute physical mental limit for something bigger than themselves. I don't like people that are mediocre. I don't like people that take it easy. I think we as human beings are meant to push ourselves, even if it means to the point of breaking all right. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. We'll do a couple more. Hey, Charlie.

[Audience Member 1]

Oh, sorry about my voice. I've been screaming all day. I just got to ask. Coke or Pepsi?

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't drink either, but Coke is much better.

[Audience Member 1]

That's what I thought.

[Charlie Kirk]

I have not had a. A soft drink in a decade. I only drink water or tea, so.

[Audience Member 1]

I agree with that. But I also want to thank you personally. My aunt who got me into politics back in third grade, unfortunately passed away in April. I just got to thank you. She introduced me to.

[Theo]

Apology.

[Audience Member 1]

She introduced me to you when you were on Fox. Any network. I just want to thank you for that. And could you potentially. Potentially sign my.

[Charlie Kirk]

Absolutely. God bless you. Thank you, man. That's very sweet. Come on up. Thank you. What's her name? Thank you. Next guy up. Very sweet. Thank you. Hey, Charlie. All right, where's the prove me wrongs? Non political, though, or else I will deal with you harshly. Hey, Charlie. First off, I want to say thank you for everything you've done. You've got me in the politics. You got me in the politics. So I just want to say thank you. And 2. Do you believe that Caitlin Clark deserved to have the COVID of 2K26? Oh, absolutely. Well, more above. What's that? Reese. Angela Reese.

[Theo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

It's a joke. Yeah. Boo. Can you. Can you slap ahead? Yes, absolutely. I don't have a pen, though. I have a pen. God bless you. Thank you. Yes, sir. Hey, I think Tigers are better than Cubs. You mean the sports team? Yeah. Detroit Tigers are better than the Cubs. When was the last time the Kigers won a World Series?

[Audience Member 1]

It was in 1984, right?

[Charlie Kirk]

2016. But that was after 108. Were you alive when they won a World Series?

[Sebi]

Fair enough.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah. But we also have one more World Series. Yeah, it's okay. We won one more recently. Are the. I think the Tigers are pretty. Are they pretty good this year?

[Audience Member 1]

I think we're going to win it this year.

[Charlie Kirk]

Win what? The World Series. Are you going to say win the AL Central? If you'll be lucky. If you do. You might be right. But look, here's how you got to look at the Cubs. Better late than never. After 108 years, they broke the curse. The Bambino curse was broken, by the way. Broken three days before Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton. There's something magical to that. Cubs won the World Series and then we beat Hillary Clinton. Can I get assigned? Yes, sir. Absolutely. Are you a Lions fan, too? A little bit. We got one Lions fan. Out there, the Lions, the Vikings, and the Bill fans can all have fun counting their super bowl rings. Next question. Terrell's like, he got that.

[Audience Member 2]

Hello, my name is Lorelei George, and I go to school on the Upper peninsula of Michigan. And I'm wondering, what is your favorite thing about being a girl dad?

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, for. First of all, it shows you how weak you actually are when you love somebody so much. It also, you realize as a father that the world is a very dangerous place, and it really gives you conviction to go fight and build a better country. And so, I mean, I love both my kids, and I have a son and a daughter, and I'm so blessed to be able to kind of see them. And I'll be honest. Any this, the trans whole jihadis, it is so obvious that if you believe transgender garbage, you have never raised both a son and a daughter. They are so different. My daughter wants to help my wife, and she wants to cook, and she wants to, you know, be neat. This was from a young age. My son wants pure destruction. It's like an attempt not to have him be able to kill himself every three hours. Like, oh, fork right into the. You know, the outlet. He walks around with a club, just. And my. My. My daughter is so just, like, gentle and caring. God made us different. And those differences are beautiful, everybody. Thank you. God bless you.

[Audience Member 2]

Can you sign a hat for me? Yes.

[Lane Schoenberger]

Thank you.

[Charlie Kirk]

Next question.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi, Charlie. My name is Catherine, and I was wondering, what is your favorite college mascot?

[Charlie Kirk]

Oregon Ducks.

[Audience Member 2]

Oregon Ducks. Fair enough. You send my book?

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, it's outside of the team. I actually like my favorite mascot. Let me think about that. Alabama. No way. First of all, let's just be honest. The Alabama thing makes no sense. They're called the Crimson Tide, and they got an elephant running all over the place. Like, what's that all about?

[Audience Member 2]

I'm from Purdue, so Bear Brian.

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't want to hear about Bear Brian. What?

[Audience Member 2]

I'm from Purdue, so my favorite's Pete.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, yeah, the Boilermakers. Yeah, we got one Duck back there. If I had to choose. Let me think. My favorite college mascot. Oh, the Buckeyes. That's a joke. You could wear the mascot around your neck. Literally. You have a whole necklace. Oh, Buckeyes. I do not like Ohio State. It's a good question. Yeah. You know what I do like? I do like the Gators, actually. I really do. I think that's a great mess, and I like their color scheme. I do. Let me sign your book. Awesome.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi Charlie, my name's Jamie. I'm from Colorado. I just moved down here actually. But I have a couple young nephews and I was wondering what fictional books that you would recommend for young kids.

[Charlie Kirk]

So for young men. That's a great question. I don't actually know a good answer but obvious. So if you can get them onto CS Lewis, that would be awesome. Lord of the Rings would be equally awesome. JR Tolkien used to give CS Lewis such a hard time because Tolkien would be like you can see, you could see the Bible story. So yoga, you have a lion named Aslan. Like the Lord of the Rings is much takes a lot more work and effort to see the biblical truths in it. So those would definitely be my top two recommendations.

[Audience Member 1]

Awesome.

[Audience Member 2]

Thank you.

[Charlie Kirk]

God bless you. And I like the Hardy Boys. Do you know the Hardy Boys?

[Audience Member 2]

Yes, I read them and Nancy Drew.

[Charlie Kirk]

Those haven't gone woke right. They're not like the Hardy, you know, trans. Good. Thank you. Hardy Boys was great growing up. They're really good. Eight minutes then we gotta head into the main hall, everybody. Yes.

[Audience Member 2]

Okay. Hi, my name is Hayden. I'm really big in ffa. I'm the vice president.

[Charlie Kirk]

I was Future Farmers of America.

[Audience Member 2]

Yes, yes. I, yes. And I was wondering what your favorite farm animal is. Is.

[Charlie Kirk]

Favorite farm animal. I know very little about farms.

[Audience Member 2]

Okay.

[Charlie Kirk]

My favorite to eat is a cow.

[Audience Member 2]

I, I, I have a pet cow, so that hurts me, but it's okay.

[Charlie Kirk]

You probably eat meat, not beef.

[Audience Member 2]

Because I have a pet cow and I love her to death.

[Charlie Kirk]

I know, but I don't want to eat her.

[Audience Member 2]

Okay, that's, that's fine then.

[Charlie Kirk]

I just want to eat her siblings.

[Audience Member 2]

Okay, you know what? That's fine. Cuz she's, she's perfect. Can I have a hat, please?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, of course. God bless you. I will. What's your favorite farm animal?

[Audience Member 2]

Oh, I have. Do you. Are you aware of what a Flemish giant rabbit is?

[Charlie Kirk]

No.

[Audience Member 2]

Look it up. On your spare time. It's the biggest rabbit in the world. Mine is £15. He's this big and he is my favorite.

[Charlie Kirk]

That's kind of creepy. He is that kind of a rabbit.

[Audience Member 2]

Would be like, geez, he has an.

[Charlie Kirk]

Attitude as a rabbit on hgh. Thank you. All right, next question. How are you?

[Audience Member 2]

Hi. It's good to see you. I just wanted to know what you think. Who would win In a fight, 100 men or a gorilla?

[Charlie Kirk]

If the men were willing to fight to the death, the men would win. But the problem is that, so let me put it this way. In 1950, 100 men would win. In 2025, I'm afraid the gorilla would win. Here's why. No, I mean it. As soon as a couple men. So the first couple men die, basically. Would the other 97 men keep fighting? I don't know. In the modern era, 100 men could overwhelm a gorilla, but four or five might die. And I think on the modern era, they would all just kind of run away. But if it was to the death, the men would win.

[Audience Member 2]

Okay, thank you.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Want to sign?

[Audience Member 1]

Yes, please.

[Audience Member 2]

Thank you.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, sir.

[Audience Member 1]

Hello. It's good to meet you. Okay, so my question is, who is the best Spider man in the live action movies?

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, Toby Maguire.

[Marcus C. Williams]

No, no, no, no.

[Audience Member 1]

Andrew Garfield was way better than Toby Go Wire in every single way. The movies, the scores, they, they, they were able to like, put more expression to the mask. I don't know if you notice in the Tobey Maguire trilogy, they had to keep taking off his mask because they didn't figure out how to like move the eyes and everything. The. The Andrew Garfield era and Spider man movies were way better than Tobey Maguire ever could be.

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't. I never saw them, so. You might be right.

[Audience Member 1]

Okay, that's.

[Charlie Kirk]

Thank you.

[Audience Member 1]

Can you sign my book?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, sir. Next question. We got to go fast. Yeah. Hello.

[Marcus C. Williams]

Charlie, I just want to ask you, do you think America should put more pressure on Russia to achieve peace?

[Charlie Kirk]

No politics. Yes, we should.

[Marcus C. Williams]

Thank you.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm kidding. I'll give you a hard time. Yes, we should. We should get. We should do everything we possibly can to end this war. It's bad for everybody involved. Yeah.

[Marcus C. Williams]

And we should put more pressure on Russia, Right?

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, I don't know what pressure looks like, but Putin on Easter Sunday killing a bunch of civilians? No good.

[Marcus C. Williams]

Yeah, but I mean. I mean, pressure is. Sanctions and more weapons for Ukraine.

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't know. I'm not. I'm. You're Ukrainian. I could tell by your symbol there. I think. Let him fight it out. But I think it's not America's war.

[Marcus C. Williams]

But don't you think it's an American interest to have peace in Ukraine?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, and the war. But it's not our war to continue. Ending and continuing are two different.

[Marcus C. Williams]

But if that's the only choice to put pressure on Russia shouldn't be. Do that choice.

[Charlie Kirk]

No.

[Marcus C. Williams]

Why not?

[Charlie Kirk]

Because it's not our war. And we should. We should actually try to bring Russia closer to us, not further away.

[Marcus C. Williams]

Well, I think that's a very stupid idea.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay. Are you serving in the war?

[Marcus C. Williams]

No.

[Charlie Kirk]

Why?

[Marcus C. Williams]

I'm just. Don't.

[Charlie Kirk]

You. What?

[Marcus C. Williams]

I just don't.

[Charlie Kirk]

Why not?

[Marcus C. Williams]

Have to.

[Charlie Kirk]

So why do you want American taxpayers to fund your war?

[Marcus C. Williams]

Because in 1994, Ukraine gave up.

[Charlie Kirk]

Are you from Ukraine?

[Audience Member 1]

Yes.

[Charlie Kirk]

So why don't you go fight there? Why do you want us to finance your war?

[Marcus C. Williams]

Well, because in 1994, Ukraine had an agreement with America where Ukraine gave up all nuclear weapons for their guarantees of safety. I think that's something that America should honor.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay. I mean, I don't even know what that has to do with financing a border war. It's fine. I mean, like. And you're. You're. You're allowed not to fight in the war. It's fine. But also, we're. We're a lot as Americans saying, sorry, $300 billion is enough. We're going to focus on our own country.

[Marcus C. Williams]

But we now have a minerals deal, so it's not just for free. You get minerals.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah. You and I both know there's a lot of BS behind that minerals deal. But fine. Like, okay, if you want to. If you want to support the Slava Ukraine, good for you. But you know what? It's time to put America first and stop funding foreign conflicts. That's my perspective. Thank you very much. I love. No politics becomes. It's like irresistible. Yes, sir.

[Audience Member 1]

Hello, Mr. Kirk. I'm Brody Ruman. I. I'm homeschooled and I was wondering what your favorite shoe brand is.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, Cole. Hans, these things are amazing.

[Audience Member 1]

Yeah, I was also wondering.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, sir. I'll sign it. Next question. My name is Salvador Villa, senor. I come from la, California.

[Audience Member 1]

And I see you're wearing Cubs hat right now.

[Charlie Kirk]

And I want to ask, why do you believe the Cubs is the best team? Because personally, me biased. I love the Cubs. They're not the best franchise ever, but they are the most American. I mean, look at the color scheme. You can't get more American than the Cubs. Wrigley Field, Best MLB experience of any stadium. Don't you Boston fans, You Fenway people are all screwed up. Okay? Cuz I believe it's the best. Me personally, being from la, I believe the Dodgers are the better team than the Cubs, stats wise. No, I mean, you might be right. They also spend like $400 million on their payroll every year. So it's fine. Dodgers are good. But I like the Cubs more.

[Marcus C. Williams]

Mason, my hat.

[Charlie Kirk]

And Right. God bless you. A couple more, guys, really quick.

[Audience Member 1]

My name is Roman Banworth. I go to Banworth Academy. My name's Quinton Banworth. I go to the same school he does.

[Charlie Kirk]

All right, we're just. We're going to ask you, was it awkward earlier, the bathroom today, or do.

[Audience Member 1]

You deal with that all the time?

[Charlie Kirk]

For what?

[Audience Member 1]

Was it awkward in the bathroom earlier or do you deal with that all the time?

[Charlie Kirk]

No, I deal with all the time. It's kind of weird when you guys wanted the picture in the bathroom, but we just.

[Audience Member 1]

We.

[Charlie Kirk]

We.

[Audience Member 1]

We just really want to beat you.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, I got it. Yeah.

[Audience Member 1]

Can we get a hat sign too?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, you can.

[Audience Member 2]

Yeah.

[Charlie Kirk]

Okay. Let's do a prove me wrong. All right. Yeah. We're running out. We got two. We got two more left. Yes. I'm great. Thank you for signing my book, by the way. Yes, sir. And thank you for, you know, being so informative because you're one of the biggest reasons why I support President Trump. Thank you. Yeah. No political, though. I'm not getting into politics. Okay, Judge or Ohtani, who's the best? Oh, Ohtani's better, for sure. Yeah, he's He's a marvel. He is. I mean, you're kind of coming up against me, a Yankee fan. I mean, Judge is my guy, so that's fine. Ohtani's unlike anything we'll ever see again. Yeah, but so is Judge. I mean, Judge beat Ohtani when they went. Yes. He doesn't have to pitch. Yeah, but still, his offensive numbers are overwhelmingly better, though. You might be right. I'm still. I still. Ohtani's changing the game for the better. Yeah. It's true. God bless you, man. Thank you. Really quick lightning round. Let's go. We got two hats left. Yeah.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi, Charlie. My name is Lily Emerson. I'm 16. I'm from Centralia College, Washington State. I was wondering how I should approach transgender people as a Christian.

[Charlie Kirk]

What? Transgender people?

[Audience Member 2]

Yes.

[Charlie Kirk]

So how old are you?

[Audience Member 2]

I'm 16. I just graduated college.

[Charlie Kirk]

Never lie. Show them love and compassion. But love means you tell them the truth. Love does not mean you affirm a delusion, and love does not mean you tell people what they want to hear. Jesus Christ summed up the gospel in four words. What is it? Love, God, love, people. But how do you love? Love is not acceptance. So you love by saying, okay, I love you too much. Then to accommodate your. Your misaligned pronouns or your gender dysphoria. And I want you to be in alignment with the body that God gave you, not to be tortured in the body that God gave you.

[Audience Member 2]

Thank you so much.

[Charlie Kirk]

God bless you.

God bless you and God bless America.

[Charlie Kirk]

Amen. Thank you. Yes, sir. Wanna have. I got one hat left, then we got to get on stage. Yes, sir.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi, Charlie. So I am a. Well, first, my name is ashton mallory. I'm 13 years old, born and raised here in Tampa, and I'm a part of an organization called fbla, or Future Business Leaders of America. So I'm asking you for advice on how to be a leader in the modern day.

[Charlie Kirk]

So in business, especially if you want to be a good entrepreneur, find a problem that people have and solve that problem. Number two, there's no substitute for super hard work. Weekends, long nights. Number three, act ethically and good things will come to you. Ethics and business are not talked about enough. Be honest and be somebody that always tells the truth. That long term will be a lot more than cutting corners. God bless you, man. Thank you. Yes, sir. Last hat. We'll go really quick and then we gotta wrap. What time is it, Charlie? Can I get a photo? We can go maybe five more minutes. Yeah.

[Audience Member 2]

All right. Pineapple on pizza. What are your thoughts?

[Charlie Kirk]

Yes, I support it.

[Audience Member 2]

Totally disagree, but can you.

[Charlie Kirk]

Good try. Yes, ma'.

[Lane Schoenberger]

Am.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi, Charlie. My name is Caitlin Kirkwood. I go to Liberty University, which, by the way, we all want you to come to our school and speak.

[Charlie Kirk]

I think it would be a big hit. Right.

[Audience Member 2]

We really want you to come. We've been waiting for you to speak at convocation. For a while.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah, I think it's gonna be a big hit.

[Audience Member 2]

My question is, as a upcoming sophomore in college, what verse would you encourage Collins students with the most?

[Charlie Kirk]

It's a great question. So for college students especially, I would say there is a verse. Yeah, Proverbs is great, but there is a verse in. I think it's Mark seven two. Yeah, you can fact check me on the same. It's Mark 7:2, where Christ our Lord talks about sexual immorality and distance from him. College kids need that verse from Christ our Lord. I think more than anything else, staying pious, staying pure and waiting for marriage. Incredibly important in today's time. Then also John 10:10. The enemy has come to lie, steal, cheat and destroy. But I have come to give life and life more abundantly. Psalm 97. 10. If you love God, you must hate evil. And then one of my favorite verses, for those people that have. If you are going through difficulty or if you see something bad and you're not sure how it can work out, Genesis 50:20, which is what the enemy meant for evil. God will use for good. Then of course, Romans 12:2, which was, God will use all things for good for those who love him. So I just gave you a bunch of verses, so God bless you. Thank you so much. Is that Romans 8:28? What is Romans 12:2? Oh, do not conform to the ways of this world, but instead be conformed to the ways of the spirit. Thank you. I got it. Yeah, you're right. 122 and 8. 28. I got messed up. Yes, sir. Hi, Charlie.

[Theo]

My name's Theo.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm originally from Glenview, Illinois. Thank you for making it cool to be conservative from that area and a conservative Cubs fan.

[Theo]

Yes, big Cubs fan.

[Charlie Kirk]

My question for you is what Chicago.

[Theo]

Sports team has the best chance of winning a championship?

[Lane Schoenberger]

Their league championship.

[Charlie Kirk]

Currently the Cubs. Currently the Cubs, Yes. They're one of the best teams in baseball. So let's go rapid fire. Yes, sir. And then I got to get on stage.

[Audience Member 2]

Hello, Charlie. My name is Parker and I'm a 15 year old homeschool student. I just have a question. What's your favorite condiment? Like ketchup? Mustard.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, hot sauce. I'm a huge hot sauce fan. You could actually. I have my own hot sauce. It's Kirk's Hot Sauce Dot Com. You guys can buy it. I'm not kidding. I've developed my own hot sauce. I put it on everything okay? Yes. I'll sign your wallet.

[Theo]

Sure.

[Charlie Kirk]

All right, two more. We got two more. Two more young ladies and we're done. Yes, sir. Yes, ma'.

[Lane Schoenberger]

Am.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi, I'm Ruby from Me and my best friend drove from Indiana to be here.

[Charlie Kirk]

Wow.

[Audience Member 2]

And I was just wondering what is.

[Charlie Kirk]

The best fast food place in N Out Burger? Not even close. Thank you. Last question, then I gotta go.

[Audience Member 2]

Hi, Charlie. My name is Riley. I'm really wanting to be a JAG officer in the Air Force. And I still feel like I'm learning, learning what I want to do, but I know I definitely want to be in politics one day. But I don't feel like I've had a proper U.S. civics lesson. And I also don't feel like I really know how I'm gonna juggle being a wife.

[Charlie Kirk]

Great question.

[Audience Member 2]

And like a mother in the military. So what's your advice for number one, how to find education in this day and age. And number two, how do you handle being a woman in the military?

[Charlie Kirk]

Charlieforhillsdale.com go there. That's charlieforhillsdale.com you could take the entire constitution course 101 there. I can't give you good advice on how to be a woman in the military. I don't think women should be in combat roles in the military. So I don't mean to offend you. I'm sorry. I think that's a man's job to do killing. If you want to do supportive stuff, that's fine. I'm even more skeptical. I. I don't think our military is made stronger.

[Audience Member 2]

Yeah, I want him to be in the law area.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, that's fine. And great. And again, that's not again. There's plenty of women that are heroes in our military, but we should understand that there are male female distinctions. And that of death and war should be in the hands of men and we should protect our women from that. That's my opinion. Call me old fashioned, so I completely agree. But go to charlieferhillsdale.com so. All right, last question. I remember you from San Diego. You're very entertaining. Hi, Charlie. Okay, who's your favorite live action Batman? Favorite live action Batman? Yeah, I'm stuck between Keaton and Bale. Oh, Bale. Yeah, me too. Bale. We agree. And look, I brought my cape. Oh, wow. And a Batman cape. You are entertaining. God bless you. Thank you, Charlie. God bless America, everybody. Let's go to the main stage. This was fun. God bless you guys. And go Cubs. Thank you.
