Charlie Kirk’s Personal Story | EP 542

Jordan B Peterson interviews Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, exploring Kirk's journey from advocating for lower cookie prices in high school to building a prominent conservative youth organization. They discuss the influences that shaped Kirk's conservative views, including his reaction to Barack Obama's rise and his critique of pre-woke, anti-Western literature in schools. The conversation delves into the role of Christianity in Wilberforce's abolitionist efforts and the broader cultural war against Christian values. Kirk shares his experiences engaging with students on college campuses, noting a shift towards young men seeking direction and purpose rather than political arguments. The discussion also covers the challenges of the education system, the importance of mentorship, and Kirk's evolving understanding of his mission to help the West return to its roots by addressing cultural and spiritual causes.
