They have slick accents — but do they actually have brains? Charlie flew across the Atlantic Ocean to Britain so he could debate the students at Cambridge University. But are the kids at the UK's #2 school any better than kids in the U.S.? Charlie fields questions on abortion, the Bible, Trump, marriages and broken homes, and a lot more in a epic showdown that is not to be missed.

0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here live from the Bitcoin.com studio. This is my conversation at Cambridge |
0:06.8 | University. I thought it did pretty well, to be perfectly honest. It was a incredibly difficult |
0:12.2 | environment. I walk in, no applause, just stares and glares from the Cambridge intelligency. |
0:19.3 | 400 people against me and a professor. I talked to the |
0:23.6 | president of Cambridge, who didn't even do the niceties, just went straight into trying to brutalize me |
0:28.4 | publicly. I kept my calm. I kept my cool. I felt pretty good about the points I made. There are some |
0:32.9 | points I probably could have made better. But understand, it was literally kind of like a Moscow show trial |
0:38.4 | where you're standing there for an hour and a half and they're throwing a debater after |

1:10.6 | We're not always going to be celebrated. We're not always going to be welcomed with open arms. |
1:14.5 | No, that's not what free speech is all about is sometimes going into the greatest place of |
1:19.1 | opposition. And so I was thankful to do it. There's a lot of insults that they throw at me. |
1:25.3 | There's a lot of, let's say, clever little remarks. |
1:28.5 | It was far from a debate. It was more just kind of like a verbal melee. And I think you will |
1:34.3 | agree. And I would love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, that the students of Cambridge, |
1:39.3 | they could have done a lot better. They could have been far more sophisticated, more polite, |
1:44.1 | but they decided to |
