THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 42 — Lawfare in Arizona? Was the A-Bomb Evil?

When Charlie launched Turning Point more than a decade ago, conservative efforts to win the youth vote looked hopeless and doomed. Now, everything has changed. From UNC to UCLA, thousands of young people are standing up to fight far-left protests and voice support for Trump, and their numbers seem to be growing by the day. Andrew explains how and why seeds Charlie planted a decade ago are blooming into an unprecedented "vibe shift" towards the right — and how it could trigger a 2024 Trump victory.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In America, we treat dogs more and more like people...while treating humans more and more like dogs, or worse. Michael Knowles joins to argue that Kristi Noem shooting her dog might be bad politics — but the  meltdown about it from defenders of late-term abortion is pure moral hysteria from those who can no longer understand real right and wrong. Knowles also responds to the GOP's baffling ability to create a defeat out of the winning issue of left-wing anti-Israel protests on campus.

Did the House GOP just try to pass a new ban on reading the Bible on campus? It sounds insane, but it's true.

The Biden Administration is moving to reduce restrictions on marijuana, and the drug is now legal in a majority of U.S. states. But is surrendering in the war on drugs a good idea, or just a disaster for the country's young people? Alex Berenson explains the many harmful side effects of America's most popular illegal drug, then responds to campus anti-Israel protests and the GOP's sudden, unfortunate temptation to roll back the 1st Amendment to stop them.

Joe Biden is cutting a deal with Mexico's president to slow down illegal border crossings. But is Biden serious? Of course not. It's just a temporary scheme to win in November. As Vivek Ramaswamy explains, and open border and zero voter ID rules are central, mutually supporting pieces of the Democrat plan for permanent power. Yet incredibly, Republicans have voted to enable this strategy in their recent "deal" with Democrats on foreign aid. Sen. Rick Scott joins Charlie with a simple question: Do his fellow Republicans read the bill that they vote to pass?

The press calls it the "Great Replacement conspiracy theory," as though it's something made up.

Wade Miller of the Center for Renewing America explains how the left has gone "mask-off" with an explicit agenda of attacking and replacing America's white population. Plus, Mike Davis responds to Rachel Maddow's "advice" that President Trump plead guilty in his politically-driven New York criminal case.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
