The Charlie Kirk Show

Eugenics, socialism, gender studies: If an idea is bad, chances are it first came from an academic. That's the core theme of Charlie and Candace Owens's appearance at The Ohio State University in Columbus. Charlie and Candace unpack the arrogance of modern academics, and how they have created a generation of the most clueless, unhappy people to ever live in human history.

The Speech UC-Davis Tried To Stop

Charlie's appearance at UC-Davis made headlines around the world and got the attention of Elon Musk, thanks to a tidal wave of lies from trans activists, the Sacramento Bee, and the school's own administrators. But there wasn't just a riot in Davis that night. There was a speech, too.

For years, conservatives consoled themselves about how campus "snowflakes" would melt when they ran into the harsh reality of the "real world." But instead, snowflakes have remade the world to match their ideology, and nowhere has this been more extreme than in the American media.

Plus, Kalen D'Almeida of TPUSA's Frontlines reports on Antifa's latest violent activities in California, which sound surprisingly similar to the battle tactics of medieval Vikings.
