Summary
In a long-form, action-packed first edition of a new, regular installation on The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie is joined LIVE from Phoenix for 'Debate Night' by Dr. Rashad Richey of the Young Turks to debate the efficacy of masking children in schools, among a litany of other topics including: vaccine mandates, the Founding, Critical Race Theory, systemic racism, science, and much, much more. Despite fierce disagreement, Charlie and Dr. Richey passionately defend their positions on either side and offer up a masterclass in how to respectfully but forcefully advocate on behalf of making America a better place for future generations.
