Andrew Zucker is joined by Katy Balls, the Washington editor of the Times of London, to discuss  her profile of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. She explores Kirk's rise as a significant figure in the MAGA movement, his influence on young voters, and the dynamics of political engagement among youth. The discussion also touches on Kirk's relationships within the Trump administration, the impact of controversies like the Epstein case, and the broader cultural shifts in American politics.
