Debates From the Archive - Charlie on Non-Political Topics

00:00:03 Speaker 1: 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'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start at turning point, you say 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 Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers, how are we doing? Everybody all right? So we're going to have some fun because, as you know, these these videos go quite viral, right, but I want to do approve me wrong, but no politics, okay, other stuff nothing. If you asked about politics, I'm kicking you out of line. Okay, enough, you guys can come to the campus to do that culture, dating, food or sports. Go cubs, right, all right? Fine, then come on up and prove me wrong. All right, I got to wear my cubs at then what do you think the great ed Zeman is here? Right? Go cubs. So we're gonna do prove me wrong. If you do politics, guys, I'll just be like, really, okay, fine, I mean I might answer your question, but probably not. But prove me wrong. What's on your mind? Young man? Gotta make sure the mics work. 00:01:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, Charlie, it's so nice to meet you. 00:02:01 Speaker 3: My name is Ben. 00:02:02 Speaker 2: I'm here representing Shamikada Community College in Oregon, and I'm here to tell you that Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie of all time. 00:02:15 Speaker 1: As an unusual amount of applause for Revenge of the Sith. So Revenge of the Sith is what episode two or episode three three? If you think that's the best Star Wars movie. 00:02:25 Speaker 3: Better than the original trilogy. 00:02:27 Speaker 1: Why okay? 00:02:28 Speaker 2: So it has the best choreography and the best cgi of all time. 00:02:32 Speaker 1: It holds up. 00:02:33 Speaker 2: It's way better than anything that's been putting out nowadays. And on top of that, it's got biblical references, you know, the fall a Sayan, the fall of Lucifer Palpatine, tempting Anakin, just like the snake in the Garden of Eden. 00:02:50 Speaker 1: Done your homework here, I have, I have, I got it all right here. 00:02:54 Speaker 2: It ties the whole series together. Maybe it's franchise all the time. 00:02:59 Speaker 1: Anakin is like the worst actor I've ever seen ever. I mean, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa terrible. It's terrible. I'm gonna die on this hill. The original Star Wars is way better than anything. So I'm sorry, I'm gonna die on this hill. New Hope Empire strikes back in Return of the Jedi better than all this new Can we at least agree the new ones sense are terrible. 00:03:19 Speaker 3: I don't even want to talk about that. 00:03:20 Speaker 1: We all can agree on that, right, The New ones are terrible. Do you like the Phantom Menace? 00:03:27 Speaker 4: No? 00:03:27 Speaker 2: Okay, Attack of the Clones is good, but Phantom Menace? 00:03:31 Speaker 5: No? 00:03:31 Speaker 2: Revenge of the Sifth is the best. I think that you just like the prequels because of the nostalgia. 00:03:37 Speaker 1: I like the nostalgia. Also, the acting is better, the story is better, it's firmer. I mean, like, I don't know, I haven't watched these movies in so long, but you're talking about episode three, right, Yeah. I found it to be just so disappointing. Is this Is this a popular view held by people? Yes? 00:03:54 Speaker 6: Right? 00:03:54 Speaker 1: Really? Yeah, no, it's not. I don't know. There's something the first ever Star Wars considering when it was made, you want to talk about the most advanced cgi the fact that they had those kind of graphics back in like I think it's nineteen seventy eight, it came out seventy seven. Well, you guys really know your stuff. He's okay, great, he knows every year. So I don't know if I proved you wrong, but you've definitely I've learned something that people are passionate about. So anyway, but we agree the new Star Wars are no good. Yeah, and all the spinoffs are just so. I mean, how many more spinoffs do they have to make? It's terrible? All right, thank you so much. Thank you, Yeah, all right, great, next one, Hey. 00:04:38 Speaker 7: Charlie, my name is Barry Lamaster from Centerville, Ohio. My question is how do you think dating apps and hookup culture have shaped to generations understanding of intimacy, loyalty, and the understanding of the nuclear family. 00:04:50 Speaker 1: Oh, it's terrible. First of all, I mean I encourage all of you to save yourselves for marriage and to reject hookup culture. And this is not a preachy thing. This is not you know, I'm better than you or anything. But I encourage you to do it. You'll be happier, your marriage will be better, you will be honestly, there's less problems you know when you get and these apps are terrible. I mean I would encourage you guys to get off the apps and go to church and actually go meet your future spouse and don't go on tender, go to a Bible study and look. I guess some people can find true love on these apps. But we know what those apps exist for. Those apps exist for very low, shallow engagement that does not always and almost never brings long lasting stability and connection. If you want to build a life with somebody, date with the intent to marry number one and find somebody that shares your values. I will also die on this hill. I think it's wrought with problems. If you are a conservative and you end up marrying a liberal, I would do not do that. But you want to marry somebody that you are able to talk about the news every night, that you share core values with, and I don't think you get that on some silly dating app. 00:06:04 Speaker 3: I agree. 00:06:05 Speaker 1: God, bless you man. Thank you so much. Next question or prove me wrong statement or whatever. Yes, Hi, this is so cool. 00:06:13 Speaker 8: I'm Jennifer. I'm from south Lake. I will be graduating this year. This is amazing. I am the president. The president was the president of the South Lake chapter. I was just curious what you're a standpoint on women in men's fields. I'm going to be a pilot, that's what I'm studying in aviation, and I want a family as well. With the problem with going into a male dominated field is the women's. 00:06:45 Speaker 3: We don't get a lot of maternity leave. 00:06:47 Speaker 8: And I wonder what you what your mindset on that one is. 00:06:51 Speaker 1: It's a tough question. So if you had to that, which one matters more? Uh, great family or great career family? Great family? So that I mean, when you go be a pilot, you travel the world, you might meet your future husband, but you should want to meet your future husband that will be able to make enough money that you can quit. That would be my advice. So I always tell that to young ladies that if you by the way, you have a career, if something doesn't work out, you'll be able to support yourself. But deep down, women in America they have kids, and they they weep to themselves when they have to go and put their nine month old in daycare. We want a country, people say, Charlie, what does success look like? My number one thing I'm obsessed about. I want to live in a country where if a woman does not want to go to work having to have a kid, she does not have to go to work and she could stay at home and raise those kids. It is we should all seek to build that country. It's good for men, it's good for women, it's good for kids, good for family, good for community. It's not knocking people that use daycare at all. If you have to use daycare, God bless you. I know it's tough, but honestly, too many people have to not want to and we should have a country in nineteen eighties, a father working was able to support an entire family. Now things are so expensive, homes are out of reach. Inflation has crushed us. Both the man and the woman have to go into the workforce. That is bad. It is bad for everybody. It creates strangers raising our kids. And also it creates women that have to go into the workforce that are unhappy in their job because they'd rather have their six month old baby in their arms. And honestly, it's much more important for you to raise your six month old baby than crunching numbers on a spreadsheet for some company that does even know your name. So it seems like you know what you're doing being a pilot. God bless you for that's an awesome skill to have. By the way, you'll be able to teach your kid to be a pilot. But here's my one piece of advice. Be willing to quit if you find the man of your dreams and you start building a family, because building a family is far more important than getting another ten thousand hours flying around the world. God bless you, Thank you so much. 00:09:04 Speaker 9: This is Lane Schomberger, 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. 00:09:24 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you guys about whyrefight dot com. That is why are ef y dot com. Why refi is incredible private student loan debt in America told us about three hundred billion dollars. Why refy 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 yrefight dot com. That is why refight dot com. Do you have a co borrower? Why ref I can get them released from the loan. You can skip a payment up to twelve times without penalty. It may not be available in all fifty states. Go to yrefight dot com.

That is y R e f y dot com, Priva Student Loan Debt Relief wyrefight dot com. 00:10:13 Speaker 6: Hi Charlie, my name is Cam I go to the University of North Dakota. I'm a lifelong Vikings fan and I love football. 00:10:20 Speaker 1: It's a very masculine, Okay, all right, how many Super Bowls have the Minnesota Vikings ever won? 00:10:25 Speaker 3: All right, all right, we don't got it. We don't got it. 00:10:27 Speaker 1: Okay, let's count them. 00:10:29 Speaker 3: I think we're done. 00:10:30 Speaker 1: Count exactly. That's right, there's no need to count. 00:10:34 Speaker 3: All right. Well, I know you're from Chicago. 00:10:35 Speaker 1: Let's count again. 00:10:39 Speaker 3: I know you're from Chicago. 00:10:40 Speaker 6: I'm just wondering how you feel about the fact that the worst team in the NFL, of the Bears, is led by a man who paints his fingernails. 00:10:46 Speaker 1: Well. First of all, I'm not a defender of Kleb Williams. Second of all, eighty five Bears were the greatest football team ever assembled in NFL history. Third of all, I don't have to hear smack talk from a football team. I don't think you've ever been to a Super Bowl, for you guys have been to four. That makes it even worse. Choke that's what I think of, right And by the ways, like the Buffalo Bill style, so oh they're good like that. I was right that was four in a row that the Buffalo Bill's lost, not just four. So uh No, I'm not I'm not a fan of Caleb Williams, but I will say go Bears. 00:11:21 Speaker 6: And masculinity in the country. What you think painting fingernails is ruining? 00:11:25 Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to defend Caleb Williams, but I will say the Bears are much better franchise than the Minnesota Vikings. 00:11:31 Speaker 3: Not currently huh not currently? 00:11:33 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. You guys choked in the playoffs last year too, So go Bears. 00:11:41 Speaker 3: Hi, Charlie. 00:11:42 Speaker 10: My name is will I'm from the University of Central Oklahoma. I'm lucky to have found the love of my life. We've been together about a year and a half and I want to marry her one. 00:11:51 Speaker 3: Day after we both graduate college. 00:11:55 Speaker 10: However, she's not where I am in my journey with Christ and I want to have a marriage centered around Christ. And I want to know what are some of the best ways I can help guide her towards our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, so that we can share a happy future together. 00:12:06 Speaker 1: So phenomenal question. Here's my first immediate Do not get married till that gets sorted out. Do not get married with the intent to convert your spouse. And if it does not get sorted out, then I would caution for you to enter into marriage. You enter into marriage as a covenant. Now, what is a contract is a thing between two people. I want to buy something from you, or I want to lease something. A covenant is something between three people, man, woman, God. A covenant has no expiration date. A covenant is built on love and trust and mutual shared values. A contract is not. So my advice for all of you is enter into marriage covenantally, not contractually. Get married in a church, do pre marital counseling, Make sure your spouse shares your values about religion. If they don't, try to figure it out, and it might not be the right choice for you, because here's what I'll tell you, marriage will get hard. And when marriage gets hard and you're going to church to sort out your problems and she's not, that's a no break, no brainer. Number one, you asked a specific question. Pray for your pray for your future spouse, Pray for her, Bring her to church. Ask her the tough questions there are probably can I ask you what is her objection as to why she will not follow Jesus? Is it technical? But she doesn't think there's enough evidence. Is that she was wronged by religion growing up. She thinks it's hypocritical. Hypocritical, I know all the objections, So which one would it be? 00:13:29 Speaker 10: She doesn't really know how there can be a higher power when there's so much evil in the world. 00:13:34 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, got it, so very here, she strikes me somewhat smart. Right, So here's what you should say. Their evil cannot exist if there is no standard of good. So let me ask very simple. You can do a thought exercise. Just draw a crooked line for her and say, honey, is this a crooked line? Yes? How do you know that, well, she said, because I know what a straight line looks like. Wait a second, So how do you know what is evil? Because you have a straight good to compare it to. She only knows something is evil because she believes there's a transcendent good. Evil does not exist. Evil is just an opinion. If there is no God. Murder is not wrong if there is no God. Stealing is not wrong if there is no God. So the way to convince her of that is that that you're not the first person to wrestle with the question of evil. The more important question is it actually evil or is it just an opinion? And we believe it. We know as believers that there is an absolute standard above us that we appeal to. And finally, I'll just I think you should say the question. The Bible tells us two things. God will use all things for good for those who love him Romans twelve to two. But that might not satisfy her. Instead, the question of evil should be we as Christians, we have to explain a couple things. We have to explain, like child suffering. Like I'll be honest, it's really tough for us to wrestle with the fact that these girls are at Christian summer camp and they get one washed away in a flood. It's tough, right, we have to explain child cancer and flooding and earthquakes. But the atheist they have to explain everything else. They have to explain why we exist, what is love? What is mercy? Why is it that our universe came to being. Is there a standard of good? Is there a standard of evil? They have to explain everything else. So I don't know if most women are led to the Gospel through more let's say, emotional feeling type. She might sound very analytical, and that's fine, but I would encourage her and say, just because there is evil does not mean there is no God. In fact, it means the only reason you know it's evil is because there's a transcendent, perfect standard of good, and that is God himself. 00:15:43 Speaker 4: God. 00:15:44 Speaker 1: Bless you, Joe, Thank you very much. 00:15:51 Speaker 4: Hey Charlie, my name's Vivian Chamberlain and I'm from Troy University in Troy, Alabama. I just had a quick question. I don't know if you've been asked this before or not, but as a Christian, what music and media would you recommend allowing into your home in a culture that is just so focused on immorality rather than the traditional principles that we see. 00:16:11 Speaker 1: It's a great question, phenomenal. So for our kids only allow we only allow classical music, praise music, or a very couple exception, old songs. So my daughter loves Dolly Parton, so we play Joelene my Son Loves It's a Man's World by James Brown with Pavaratti. Great song to raise a sun on. By the way, besides that, though modern music is complete filth and garbage, anything that has been published in the last ten years. And you say, oh, you know, country music, I barely consider that to be music. To be honest, I know you sorry. Just the way it is. It's the way it is. It's very hard to listen to. It's an affront to my senses. Actually that's fine enough to agree, but you as a parent need to guard yourself first. The music you listen to, you notice you memorize all these lyrics. By the way, it also matters the type of Christian worship music you're listening to. Some of this Christian worship music is all about like ah me or there was one that there was this one recently that was someone sent it to me. I'm gonna think about it. It was I'll think it was this ridiculous thing, not irresistible grace, it was something about it was a contradiction about God. It sounded good lyrically, but it makes no sense. Everybody, your Christian music should also be biblically consistent and glorify God as well. So look, here's the key classical music Heiden, Mozart Bach. You know, at the top of every one of their compositions they said, Glory be to God. We do not listen to classical music enough in the West. It's time for us to stop listening to rap music and this degenerate hip hop stuff and go back to the music that built our civilization. Thank you so much. 00:17:56 Speaker 11: Howdy Blake here. You know, in moments like this, true really matters. The truth was important to Charlie. So we want to share with you a new documentary that's caught our attention, not because it's political, but because it refuses to shy away from the questions that so many Americans are still asking. 00:18:14 Speaker 1: It exposes the truth. Thank you. 00:18:16 Speaker 11: Doctor Fauci is a hard hitting investigative docu thriller from award winning filmmaker Jenner First. He digs through thousands of documents, sits down with scientists, intelligence insiders, and whistleblowers, and exposes what may be one of the most significant public health coverups of our lifetimes. This film isn't about scoring partisan political points. It's about transparency. Accountability, and the courage to follow the evidence wherever it leads. If you've ever wondered what really happened behind closed doors, this is something you need to see for yourself. Angel Studios was the only platform willing to release it, and that's because you, not Hollywood, decide what gets made. Join the Angel Guild today at angel dot com slash Chartley Kirk become a member and stream. Thank you doctor Fauci today. 00:19:06 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Charlie. My name is Peter. 00:19:08 Speaker 5: I am from Johns Creek High School, Georgia, and I want to ask you. If Michelle Obama throw hands with Kamala Harris, who's going to win. 00:19:16 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama in like ten seconds? Michelle Obama would man handle Kamala Harris. 00:19:22 Speaker 3: Yo, do we agree? Do we agree? 00:19:24 Speaker 1: Yeah? You guys agree, Michelle Obama. 00:19:28 Speaker 3: I think it's Harris. I think it's Harris me personally? 00:19:31 Speaker 5: Why well, because look at Harris, like she could just like talk her game in front of Michelle Obama and then like Michelle can get distracted, she can like sneak like an upper cutting. 00:19:39 Speaker 3: I don't know it could happen. 00:19:41 Speaker 1: I am Michelle Obama's a street fighter. I would not. I wouldn't mess with that part. On that part, I would. There's a lot more I could say, but I would not mess with Michelle Obama. That's all I'm gonna say. Thank you so much. Next question you. 00:20:00 Speaker 3: Okay, Hi Charlie. 00:20:01 Speaker 12: My name is Aquavian and I'm an incoming freshman at the University of Texas at Austin. My question is is it just me our parents way too chill about their kids falling behind. As long as they're happy and they have an iPad in their hand. 00:20:12 Speaker 1: You are totally right by the way you're going to UT. Is that right? I go like this, That's okay, we'll talk about that later. Yeah, okay. One of the greatest events I've ever done is at Texas A and M University. I'll never forget it. It was unbelievable and UT was the disaster. But that's maybe maybe we'll make it up last time I go. Next time I go. Every I think you would all agree. One of the greatest tragedies is when I go out to eat with my wife or I just go out to eat in general, and there's a family of four and they're all staring at screens. There's something so distant and so remote. An iPad or an iPhone has become a digital pacifier for this generation. And so yeah, I mean, look, I think there's a lot wrong with that. I think we should have no phones in classrooms, no phones in schools, and bring back actual robust learning in these classrooms. And yes, I agree. I'm thirty one years old. I'm not much older than you, guys. I grew up in a time where we did not have phones in our classrooms and it was a better way to live, and it was a better country through and through. I agree. Thank you, God, blessed, Thank you, God, bless all Right, we got two here. 00:21:25 Speaker 3: Hello, nice to meet you. I'm in a sasion. 00:21:27 Speaker 8: This is my friend Camilla, and we're both going into the ninth grade. 00:21:31 Speaker 5: We both have a question to ask you, But first we would like to thank you for all that you've done for the youth. 00:21:37 Speaker 1: And then my question is what is your Starbucks order? 00:21:39 Speaker 3: You've been carrying a Starbucks cup around. 00:21:41 Speaker 1: That's a great question. What do you think it is? A pumpkin machiato? What is that? 00:21:50 Speaker 3: Somebody said green. 00:21:51 Speaker 1: Tea, someone said soy milky, and that's not hy No. I literally drink this for one reason, because I lose my voice very easily. It is literally just mint majesty tea with two honeys, and I drink like nine of them a day. Otherwise I lose my voice by the way, people think I dip or like I put tobacco. And have you guys thought that one you watch the videos? Have you guys thought that well? Because I always these are these are throat lozenges that keep me from losing my voice. That is a great question. So now you know the Starbucks order? 00:22:21 Speaker 3: Yes, okay. 00:22:23 Speaker 4: My question is if you could have a superpower, what would it be and. 00:22:26 Speaker 1: Why boy a superpower? That's a good question. I think. I think that I'm trying to think what would be the whatever would do the greatest good. So probably I don't want to say time travel because that's too much like God, but I would say, I mean flying's pretty good. Super speed. Yeah, it's very interesting. If someone says they are superpower they want to be able to be invisible, they're probably up to something very bad. If somebody answers that question as I want to be able to be invisible, nobody's behavior gets better as soon as you become invisible. It's like doesn't work that way, so probably flying that sounds awesome. I'd be able to get to my events quicker. I'll be able to do three of these in a day. I could do UT and then go have a better event at text A and M and it would be great. Thank you both, God bless you. You want to have thank you? Yes, sir, that's Jesus of Nazareth on your chest. 00:23:25 Speaker 3: Right, Yes, sir, Hello Charlie. 00:23:27 Speaker 5: My name is Tristan, future US Army soldier going to basic training. 00:23:32 Speaker 1: Good for you, God bless you. So I've been. 00:23:36 Speaker 5: Waiting for this moment for about a year and a half. So I just got a question to ask you. 00:23:42 Speaker 3: I have. 00:23:42 Speaker 5: I was always raised Republican conservative, but first always I'm a child of God, and so I just wanted to ask you just one question about Trump's immigration policies, if that's okay. 00:23:59 Speaker 1: Okay, So I did say no politics though, right, so you're breaking that rule. But that's fine because you're very sweet. But again, I don't think this is not this is not the venue for this, but. 00:24:07 Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand, all right, So I'm gonna read this verse. It's Leviticus nineteen, verse thirty three and three, which is. 00:24:13 Speaker 1: The love the foreigner in your land because you were once foreigners in Egypt. Basically, right, yes, right? So what else is? What is Leviticus nineteen eighteen? 00:24:21 Speaker 3: Was that? 00:24:21 Speaker 1: Oh? No, no, how much Leviticus nineteen I think it's like Leviticus nineteen eighteen, which is in the administration of justice, you shall not favor the poor or the rich. So in that same verse, when we're enforcing our laws, what would the biblical way to handle somebody that came into the country illegally? Remove them? Yeah? 00:24:41 Speaker 5: However, do you think that the way that we are doing it, in the way I is handling it, is being done in a biblical manner? 00:24:46 Speaker 1: Absolutely? Yes? 00:24:47 Speaker 4: Really? 00:24:48 Speaker 1: Oh yeah? What you what are you? What are you saying that I'm missing? Just the ruthless What do you mean ruthless? I mean you break into somebody's home. They're the ruthless ones, right. 00:24:58 Speaker 5: I agree, But not all of them, the ones who are. 00:25:00 Speaker 1: They all broke into our home, right. 00:25:03 Speaker 3: I understand? 00:25:04 Speaker 1: No, No, prove me wrong. No, if you're here illegally, you're in my home. You are invited, and you broke in. That is a sin, that's a violation of federal law. So if we're going to put hands on you, I'm sorry you came into our country uninvited. You're the one that was ruthless. We're the one that's being just Okay, correct, Yeah. And by the way, God is justice, And by the way, it says in Leviticus nineteen again, when we administer justice, you don't do it less because you feel sorry for somebody. And deportations are completely biblical. So you have twenty five thirty forty million people that have lied to get social Security numbers. Thou shall not give false testimony. They've stolen cells security numbers, Thou shall not steal. They have illegally harbored themselves in this country. These are all federal lawbrary, right, So what should the penalty be for that? 00:25:51 Speaker 4: Remove? 00:25:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. We agree we should deport every illegal alien here as quickly as possible. Okay, thank you for your time, Thank you, Yes, God bless. 00:26:06 Speaker 9: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charlikirk dot com.
