What sparked the debate between Charlie and Michael?
Michael Knowles joins the program, everybody. This is what people said was the best interview from AmericaFest. Michael Knowles decided to be a little aggressive, a little uppity, a little chippy, where he decided to poke fun at Protestants, and we held the line, I think, pretty well. This was unscripted, not planned, where I guess we very in a friendly way debate
What are the key differences between Catholicism and Protestantism?
Catholicism versus Protestantism? Who won this debate? Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com. I want to hear from you. And it goes on for like 30 minutes. So become a member, members.charliekirk.com. That is members.charliekirk.com. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. 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.

Michael, welcome.
It's wonderful to be with you, Charlie, and with all of you. So can I, before you introduce, before you do anything, it kills me to say anything sincere and nice about you, but I think I have to. When we were setting this up, you know, your producer, Andrew, was joking with me because I said, I think the time will work this day. He goes, Michael, you know, it's a big honor to be invited on the show. I said, bro, you're kidding. But it is legitimately a great honor to be on the show right now when you, as much as just about anyone in the country, won this election for President Trump. It's unbelievable. It's like President Trump and then a handful of people, and you're one of those people.
Thank you, and it's the team that deserves the credit at Turning Point. It's not me. The team believed, and we worked hard, and we did something that would be called very risky, but we hired 1,500 people in a couple states, and I did 25 campus stops and tours, and it's really amazing. We have the polling to now show it of how the states and the campuses that we actually hit on the precinct level moved by an average of 15 points, and then we had a control group of the campuses we didn't hit that only moved by one point. And so it goes to show how turning point action helped move the youth vote. And in fact, if Kamala Harris just would have done one thing, if she just had to do one thing, she just had to get young people to vote the same way they did in 2020, and she would have won. That's it. If young people just would have voted the way they did in 2020, that's why all the national polling was off. It wasn't that far off with every other age group. It was off with young people.
That was where the modeling was off the most. And the polling, always assuming that young people were going to vote with similar habits as they did in 2020, and it turns out we shocked the world.
I think there are two reasons for that. One is... the obvious that Kamala Harris is not the most exciting candidate in the world. It turns out that when you replace the president, who is insinuity, with a woman who no one has ever voted for in their entire lives, that probably she's not going to do very well. But then the other one is the ideological aspect that young Democrats in particular decided to go buy a lot of keffiyehs and campaign for Islamists in the Middle East. That is going to create an electoral problem for the Democrat establishment.
