On debateWe record all of it so that we put [it] on the internet so people can see these ideas collide. When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence.

5 April 2023 On immigrationAmerica was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that. – The Charlie Kirk Show,
