Charlie Kirk Teaches Liberal College Student About Missing Children and Media Bias at Campus Event
Charlie Kirk engages with a self-identified liberal college student who admits Trump is racist but struggles to provide evidence. The conversation takes a serious turn when Kirk reveals that 320,000 children have gone missing at the southern border under the current administration—a fact the student had never heard reported in mainstream media. Kirk explains how policy changes eliminated DNA testing requirements, potentially enabling child trafficking, and challenges the student to consider why media coverage focuses on political battles while ignoring missing children.
At a campus event, Charlie Kirk invited a self-described liberal student to the microphone, not to debate, but to teach. The student, who identifies as queer, explained that their political leanings align with their personal morals. Rather than launching into confrontation, Kirk asked a simple question: what does "queer" actually mean?
The student struggled to provide a concrete definition, explaining that it's "different for everyone" and simply an identity label. Kirk pressed further, noting that when he grew up, the term was considered a slur, and asked for a working definition similar to how one might define "conservative" with specific principles like small government and constitutional values. The audience laughed as the exchange continued, with the student eventually admitting they're gay, prompting Kirk to ask what differentiates "gay" from "queer." The student couldn't articulate a clear distinction.
Finding Common Ground on Policy
Shifting gears, the student asked about Kirk's preferred Trump policies. Kirk rattled off several: drilling natural resources to lower energy costs, brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine, ending the Israeli conflict humanely, securing the southern border, cutting taxes for middle-income earners, and implementing no tax on tips, Social Security, or overtime. He also mentioned keeping men out of women's sports.
The student agreed that taxes are too high and housing costs have become impossible for college graduates. Kirk seized on this agreement, asking why housing required a combined income of $75,000 during Trump's presidency but now requires $130,000. He attributed this to the Harris administration, though the student admitted not being very knowledgeable about Harris's policies.
The Racism Accusation
When Kirk asked what the student disagreed with Trump about, the response was immediate: "He's racist." Kirk asked for a definition of racism and specific examples of Trump exhibiting racial hatred. The student struggled to provide either, eventually asking the audience for help. Someone shouted an incomplete suggestion, but no clear example emerged.
Kirk pointed out that the student believed Trump was racist because the media told them so, not because they had evidence. He suggested that perhaps the media has been lying, and Trump is actually trying to improve the lives of all Americans.
The Missing Children Crisis
In the conversation's most sobering moment, Kirk presented a fact he wanted the student to consider: under Kamala Harris's border management, 320,000 children are currently missing in America, either sex-trafficked or labor-trafficked across the southern border. The student admitted never hearing about this before.
Kirk asked a pointed question: if the student knew enough to call Trump racist, why didn't they know about 320,000 missing children? The student acknowledged that "it's not really presented in the media," noting that media coverage focuses on the conservative-liberal battle instead.
Kirk explained that this is a core part of that battle—the liberal vice president has allowed this to happen. He detailed how Harris eliminated DNA testing at the border that previously took 90 seconds to verify that adults claiming children were actually their parents. Without this testing, Kirk explained, pimps can claim children and sell them into sex slavery in the United States. Under Trump's policies, DNA testing was required, families remained together, and the "Remain in Mexico" policy led to the lowest border crossings in American history. Under Harris, 10 million people have crossed illegally.
A Closing Challenge
As the exchange concluded, Kirk left the student with a challenge to remember the conversation. He expressed hope that one day they would look back and realize that conservatives may have been right all along about these critical issues affecting children and national security.
