A new poll shows that Trump is beating Biden in the states that will decide 2024. But as Charlie explains, a poll is just a poll — if the GOP doesn’t invest in an election-winning operation now, they’re going nowhere next year. Rep. Eli Crane joins to discuss the current state of Congress, why Republicans frustrate him more than Democrats, and Trump’s campaign.

Just as the mainstream media was starting to accept the Hunter Biden scandal, even more information has bubbled up.

Why are teenaged school children the most depressed, unfit, clueless, and addicted in history, despite limitless prosperity? The root of the problem, Charlie says, is wisdom: Teachers lack it, and our schools don't care about teaching it. In his speech to the Turning Point educator's summit in Illinois, Charlie explains how schools must work to create "full-souled beings," not just people with a skill set for a global economy. It's a choice of Christian vs. secular, classical vs. modern, and good vs. evil.

As much as one-third of Congress did debate while in high school. Competitive debate is how future leaders are learning rhetoric and how to engage with issues.
