Charlie Kirk is the founder and the president of Turning Point USA.

It's the largest and the fastest growing conservative youth activist organization in the country,

and he's joining us now to discuss this.

Charlie, great to see you.

Great to see you, Kirk. You're a great American.

Honor to call you a friend and glad to be here.

You know, I want to just thank you for putting my name on the backdrop behind you, the way that you have so prominently. It actually looks like the Charlie and Kirk Show. If you, if you take a look. Yes, that's right. We can be co-hosts. We can make the announcement right now to everybody.
