Summary
On a VERY wide-ranging conversation, LIVE from Bismarck, North Dakota, Charlie tackles the most pressing issues of the day—from the fight for life, to the battle to preserve election integrity, he unpacks the problems that pose existential threats to the republic. He singles in on one, however that may surprise you: the advent of ubiquitous smartphone culture. A backdoor for big tech and a drug more dangerous than most sold on the streets, he lays out exactly what every American should strive to do when it comes to breaking the chain tethering our brains to screens. If you're looking for your Charlie fix while he's out of town, THIS is classic Charlie Kirk at his best.
