Inside Charlie Kirk’s Fight for Free Speech on Campus and Online | Erased! Ep. 13

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Charlie Kirk to explore the story behind Turning Point USA — from its early days to becoming one of the most recognizable conservative youth organizations in America.
Charlie shares his personal journey battling the mainstream education system and what it’s like to fight for free speech on college campuses, especially Ivy League schools that often refuse to give conservative viewpoints a platform.
We also dive deep into a troubling reality: the culture of self-censorship. It’s not just platforms like YouTube or Big Tech suppressing voices — it’s also students, faculty, and everyday people silencing themselves out of fear. Fear of losing followers, status, or their future. Fear of losing opportunities simply because they dare to speak up.
This episode explores the impact of these self-imposed restrictions across campuses and social media and why protecting honest debate matters more than ever.
Tune in to hear what Charlie Kirk believes is truly at stake — and what we can do to fight back and keep our voices heard.
